Travelogue: Out Of Lagos

Guest Post by The Zman

The first leg of my journey was a stop in London. When booking the trip, the cheapest flight took me through Heathrow, with a half day layover. I hate having to run to make connections, as that often ends in me missing my connection, so I don’t mind a few hour gap between flights. Having almost a full day between flights was not ideal, but it beat the alternatives when I was booking the flight. My plan was to leave the airport and do a quick tour of London, but that plan got scuttled by British security.

When leaving the airport’s secure area, I was pulled aside for the rubber glove treatment by whatever they call their security forces. I was taken to a room and asked the usual questions. Then they asked to examine my phone, which got them upset, as there is nothing on it other than some classical music I loaded for the trip. I keep nothing on my phone as a rule. This one is brand new, so the browser does not even have some history on it. That lack of a information seemed to upset them.

That led them to ask to look at my laptop. I use a travel laptop, so if something happens, I’m not missing important parts of my life. This one I just setup with Linux and a new solid state drive. This only increased their anxiety, so we spent an hour or so playing Petrovich and Raskolnikov. My Russian visa did not help matters. I’ve gone through this a couple of times in American airports, but this seemed different. Maybe I’m imagining things, but I got the strong sense of being on a list. Maybe it was just the culture gap.

You see, that’s the other thing. The British Starsky and Hutch were Apu and Mustafa, two brown guys from over the rainbow. Their English was fine, but it had the hint of the exotic, suggesting they grew up speaking something other than English at home. They also had the narrowness that is typical of the South Asian. There’s always a barrier that exists between the Occidental and the Oriental, despite the degree of shared experience. There is an inscrutableness there that always leaves a degree of uncertainty between us…

After getting sprung from gaol, I was free to explore the giant shopping mall that is the Heathrow airport. The best I could tell, all of the employees were either brown people from over the horizon or Eastern Europeans. I got something to eat and all of the wait staff was not British. Given the international flavor of the passengers, you would be hard pressed to know you were in the heart of Britain. They don’t even have televisions playing the BBC or local sporting events. Heathrow is a foreign country disguised as an airport…

I’ve been in a great many airports in my life and I have a weird fascination for them. Most airports serving big cities are really just complex systems that have evolved over many years to solve evolving problems of air travel. An airport is a solution for a problem of modern life. As a result, you can learn a lot about the evolution of human organization by observing what happens at the big airports. Their design is similar everywhere, but everywhere is not the same, so the airport says something about the local culture.

If you are going to make a list of the worst airports on earth, it’s hard to imagine how Heathrow would not make the cut. It is a big hub for international travel, so it is a lot like the bar in Star Wars. They have turned the thing into a giant shopping with an airport attached to it. To do that, it meant connections require train rides and shuttle buses to get to your connection. There’s no way to make a connection there without allowing a few hours in between. Otherwise, you watch your flight take off from the shuttle bus…

On the fight from Lagos to London, a couple of Africans were across the aisle, one row up, from where I was sitting. Both were dressed up in what Hollywood tells us is traditional African dress for African royalty. Their accents suggested Ghana to me. At some point, the male got very agitated at the person in front of him, who had reclined her chair. He started violently shaking her chair-back and hollering something. Two stewards came over and gave him a lecture about his behavior and airplane etiquette.

Watching the two of them struggle to understand how to be passengers on an airplane, I realized what it would be like to bring Stone Age people into this age. The two of them were just too dumb to navigate plane transport. They were frustrated by the food service process. They struggled to understand simple directions. When the plane landed, they got up and started walking down the aisle, while the plane was still taxiing to the gate. They are primitives incapable of existing in a modern society, without constant supervision…

Walking around Heathrow, it is easy to see why our rulers love multiculturalism. They look at the diversity you see at a big intentional airport and they think of it as the Casablanca of this age. It makes them feel worldly and sophisticated. That brown guy in their department with the perfect continental English is not just a colleague. He is a symbol of what makes them special. They are not provincials. They are worldly cosmopolitans. They never see the other side of it. They just see the good part of the transaction.

Frankly, I don’t blame them. I could not help but be a bit impressed with myself, as I mingled with my fellow globetrotters. If I spent my days looking out at a polyglot, multiracial sea of people getting on well with one another, I might start thinking we have transcended something more than the Malthusian limit. Mankind is about to cross over into being a single race, a global race. It’s an illusion, but one that is reinforced every day, so for them it is reality. The trouble is, their reality is not our reality or even reality…

Globalists get the rope. Probably was some CNN on at the airport.

All you have to do is look at some black dysfunctional event, several happen every day. Take the murder of black rapper Nipsey Hussle. This guy was barely a C-list rapper, yet the MSM treated it as if Michael Jackson had just died. This cretin had supposedly left the gang life behind and was trying to “make a difference” in his ghetto ‘hood, including working with the police to achieve it. Now, that may not be the reason he was murdered, but it is just as likely as the logic of ANY black murder scheme in a “urban” black setting. Then, at a gathering of fans/mourners at the store he owned, another black thug found a reason to stab another black, and the resultant stampede seriously injured several people. It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic, and of course, productive White people are picking up the tab for the police work and hospitalization. If it wasn’t for trillions of dollars of welfare spent on blacks in the last 50+ years, these savages would be living in mud huts TODAY.

I wish the REAL Nipsy Russell could show up and kick this guy’s ass for trying to exploit his name.

I just read your comment to my husband and we agree it is absolute truth, well stated and succinct.

It made me want to be a better commenter.

Edit: Yes. I can edit with this email address. That was one of my runaway kale beds last fall. The rabbits were in heaven… all that kale and no one to thump them.

I tried to raise a couple of wild rabbit infants in the cage with one of my does. I know they don’t breed but I found a couple close to the same size and tossed them in, thinking the mother rabbit might adopt them.

The two little rabbits hid at the edge of the pen and I had to feed them wild grasses and hay. The domestic rabbit kits would try to get to them, but the little wild ones were nervous and uninterested. Eventually I let them go and named them Scamper because that is what they did.

I thought I could turn my back hillside into Watership Down in the Ozarks. I have now turned it into an herb bed. While the wild rabbits will come and look at the white bunnies in their pens and caging, they do not seem to be interested in breeding with them. It isn’t that I wanted to breed them… but I wondered if breeding domestic rabbit into the local rabbit population would be a bad idea, considering the large numbers of wildlife around my place which probably eat rabbit regularly.

Anyway, I just want to note that while my rabbits were perfectly willing to accept their wild genetic relatives into the warren, the wild ones refused to assimilate. And, unlike the Congresscritters across this country, I am not going to force the issue.

Who would you rather sit next to on an 8 hour transatlantic flight? A primitive 3’rd world negro or white “ugly American”? (hint: let your nose be the judge)

He should have had a malware-loaded memory stick with him, just for fun.

My stepson asked if we were going to try to do a family trip to Italy. I told him probably NOT, unless his brother could set it up virtual reality.

I think I’ll avoid trips across the pond right now and into the foreseeable future.
