The American Race Dilemma In World Perspective

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

In this 1996 talk, psychology professor Philippe Rushton says that the average black officer in the U.S. armed forces has a higher IQ and more cranial capacity than the average white recruit.

Black men have larger brains than white women, even correcting for body size, but lower average IQs. White women have much smaller brains than white men but similar IQs (perhaps as low as five points lower). Women do much worse than men in dynamic spatial ability. Most of the human brain goes to keeping the body balanced and so men who historically were hunting, would have greater need for an ability to orient yourself in space.

When you have a computer and you want more capacity to write, you need to add more RAM memory, but if you want to work with graphics, you need dramatically more RAM.

Hitler banned IQ tests in 1937 as Jewish.

Stalin banned them in 1930 as bourgeois.

“What is the reception of these ideas in Asia? There’s not much interest in Japan and China and among Asians in America about race differences. They are embarrassed by it. They don’t want to be held up to any attention. They certainly don’t want to be held up as superior to white people because they are deathly afraid that the immigration lobby will slam down the gates, not on the grounds that they are crime-prone, but that asians work so hard that they are unfairly competitive to the white person. Even today there is increasing resentment on our campuses by white students against asian students. For example, someone white wanting to get into medical school, walks into a lab needing to get an A grade and sees it is 90% asian, he says oh no, because it will be harder for him to get that A grade than if the class was made up of latinos and blacks.”

Jews vs WASPs

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes:

[Jewish intellectuals] are good at coming up with intellectual rationalizations for adolescent emotions.

Jewish insecurity dropped sharply after the Six Days War of June 1967. There is a variety of evidence suggesting that the Six Days War was the turning point in launching the subsequent propaganda War on WASPs. (My piece of “The Graduate” of 1967 lays out some circumstantial evidence.)

Instead, Jewish security and accomplishment, as symbolized by victory the Six Days War, unleashed a lot of feelings of ethnic superiority that had been bottled up through 1966. What Gould and Co. did in the 1970s was like a highbrow version of a victory riot by sports fans.

Neoconservatism didn’t really exist until after the Six Days War. Norman Podhoretz goes 300 pages in his 1960s memoir without mentioning Israel until Israel wins the war, when suddenly he becomes a huge fan.

But hatin’ on old WASP scientists was something that could bring together ideologically conflicting elements of the Jewish community. Lewontin was pretty much of a Communist and Gould was generally some kind of socialist, but being mad at old WASP scientists over the 1924 immigration cutoff appealed to neoconservatives too.

The Jewish community is adept at papering over their divisions by finding some non-Jewish bad guy for everybody to get mad at. For example, the rise of feminism in the 1960s had a lot to do with the increase in Jewish guys divorcing their first wives and marrying shiksas. But rather than take a stand on what was really bugging them, it was quickly turned into a war on men in general, with no particular Jewish aspect to the bad guys (although Norman Mailer kept volunteering for the role).

* I can’t imagine that any gentile, even the supremely gifted Updike, could get away today with writing three Bech novels poking gentle fun at a Jewish writer.

* Chabon did about as much as humanly possible with the idea of superheroes as a solely cultural (or maybe genetic) inheritance of the Jews. Kavalier & Clay is an impressive work.

But the idea of The Golem as awesome is awfully lame.

Terror in the Night: The Klan’s Campaign Against the Jews

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

This 1993 book by Jack Nelson is a classic. It hits all of the Jewish themes of Kevin MacDonald but gives them a different spin.

From Publishers Weekly: “Ku Klux Klansmen, claiming that Jews were the driving force behind the civil rights movement, bombed two synagogues and a rabbi’s house in Jackson and in Meridian, Miss., in 1967-68. A Klan hit list targeted Jewish business leaders for assassination. Nelson, Los Angeles Times Washington bureau chief who covered the South in the civil rights era, discovered evidence that the FBI and the Meridian police, using funds supplied by the Jewish community, paid informants to set a trap that left Klan hit man Thomas Tarrants III wounded and his fanatically anti-Semitic bomb-maker girlfriend Kathy Ainsworth dead. This absorbing true-crime tale is a time capsule to the civil rights movement’s heyday. Using FBI files obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, Nelson recreates the case and illuminates the FBI’s long vendetta against him for his reportage.”

Here are some random notes on the book:

* Regarding the PW review, Jews were the driving force behind America’s civil rights movement as well as the force behind opening up immigration to non-whites.

* Samuel Holloway Bowers, the imperial wizard of the White Knights of the Klu Klux Klan (membership was about 6,000), believed Jews were behind the Civil Rights movement that was destroying the Southern way of life and he wanted to fight back. So this KKK group shifted from fighting blacks to fighting Jews, believing that blacks were too stupid to be effective in their own cause without Jewish help.

* Author Jack Nelson repeatedly labels groups and literature in the cause of white identity to be filled with hate while Torah literature, which contains as much hate, is of course sacred text.

* Almost nobody liked Reform Rabbi Perry Nussbaum of Beth Israel. He needled everyone with frequently inappropriate remarks but what really irritated his congregants and the wider community was Nussbaum’s work against desegregation (the Southern way of life). When Jews try to destroy the customs of the people around them, Jews can expect to get hurt.

* Rabbi Perry Nussbaum pledged to his congregation to never do anything to put them in danger but he pursued his left-wing anti-segregationist beliefs over his congregation’s interests and put them all in grave danger. But he knew better because he was for civil rights.

* Jews have lived comfortably in the South for centuries. They fought on its side in the Civil War. They were “aliens in a land of fundamentalist Protestantism” but they were not disturbed as long as Jews did not disturb the Southern goyim. The German Jews assimilated to Southern norms as much as possible while the Jews of East European origins were more separatist and defiant of community mores. Jews were often regarded more positively than Roman Catholics and blacks.

* Jews in Jackson, Mississippi, were fine until 1961 when radical Jews and blacks from the North came to town as “Freedom Riders” to recruit blacks into voting. Southern whites suddenly woke up to the menace that many northern Jews posed for their segregationist culture and they started looking more critically at all Jews.

* Most of the Jews in in Jackson supported segregation, but as in South Africa and most places, Jews were overall more left-wing on matters of race than white Christians.

* Temple Beth Israel started hosting black non-Jews and anti-segregation events. The goyim noticed and did not approve. The KKK got angry and exploded a bomb in the temple. Nobody was hurt.

* While many black churches had been bombed and law enforcement paid little mind, once the Jewish temple was bombed, the FBI and law enforcement poured in resources. Why? Because Jews are organized, intelligent, educated, affluent and influential.

* The Jews got angry and demanded that the goyim condemn the bombers from the pulpit. Some of the goyim did not enjoy getting yelled at by intense Jews. Some Jews wanted to hire Mafia hitmen to kill their enemies.

* The Jews, their temple, and their rabbi got more involved in civil rights for blacks and so the rabbi’s home was bombed and nobody was seriously hurt. The rabbi summoned goyisha clergy to his home and screamed at them for not speaking out against the bombings. The goyim preachers sat quietly and took the abuse. Goyisha bystanders were shocked at the vehemence of the rabbi. The rabbi told one goy, “You’re a white Christian — a Baptist, the worst kind for Jews. You’ve got a responsibility for what happened.”

* The Jews in Jackson got intense and organized and the goyim took steps to alleviate their concerns. Goyisha clergy felt bad about the bombings and spoke out against it from their pulpits.

* The FBI descends in force on the KKK and makes their lives miserable.

* Jews raise money as a reward for information about the bombers. The FBI tells the Jews that the FBI would have more success against the KKK if the Jews would fund them but it would all need to be kept off the books and hush-hush.

* Some members of the temple realize that the rabbi’s work against segregation has put them in danger but most members rally around the rabbi who gets increasedly heated and sure of his own righteousness.

* Jews in Jackson felt their only friend was the FBI.

* One Klansman told the FBI that “Jews are the biggest nigger-loving people in the world”, which might be true.

* Jewish money buys Klan informers who set up the bombers to be killed by law enforcement.

Accused Child Molester Runs Torah Academy

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

Circa 2005, I found this Rabbi Eliezer Eisgrau story so difficult to unravel, it ended my focus on reporting molestation stories. I needed to take a break.

Then as now, I don’t take any side in this story, except to say that I found the allegations troubling enough (and Genendy Eisgrau credible enough) to report them.

I have no doubt, by contrast, that Baltimore’s Rabbi Yaakov Menken is a sexual predator (though not towards children and he has never been arrested).

Phil Jacobs writes:

Genendy is motivated to revisit and expand upon her story now, both here and in a 2013 story in the Jerusalem Post, because, three years after the release of Standing Silent, Rabbi Eisgrau is still the principal of Torah Institute, where he oversees the education of 650 students. She wants her father to be seen by professionals who are trained to evaluate sexual offenders. She wants her father to be deemed safe to continue his position working with young children.

And Genendy Eisgrau remains painfully estranged from her family and the tight-knit Baltimore Orthodox community she grew up in.

“My father did speak to me a couple of years ago on erev Yom Kippur,” Genendy said this month. “He would love to have a relationship with me if I would start from now and pretend nothing happened. I can’t do that.”

She is also not alone. There was at least one other complaint that was filed by the parents of a Torah Institute family through the City State’s Attorney’s Office back in 1999. But the investigation was dropped.

THE JERUSALEM REPORT FEB. 20, 2013:

The last time Nanette Eisgrau spoke to her father was in 1994. She was 19 years old, and her father – Rabbi Eliezer Eisgrau, the principal of the Torah Institute of Baltimore – had found out she had been seeing a secular-trained (but Orthodox) therapist to deal with the emotional fallout from the sexual abuse, she says she endured as a child, inflicted by her father and maternal grandfather.

“My father forced me to perform oral and anal sex repeatedly between the ages of three and seven,” Eisgrau recounts to The Jerusalem Report during a conversation at her home in a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community in Israel. “My grandfather also exposed himself to me, and touched me in my private areas.

“But when I confronted my father about it, he threatened to sue the therapist I had been seeing. He said she had convinced me of things that never happened. There was no fatherly attempt to hear my pain or to try to work through the issue together, just total denial; and he blamed me for trying to ruin his life.”

Following the confrontation with her father, her siblings demanded that she stop “telling stories” in public; and when she refused, the family sought the advice of Rabbi Yakov Hopfer, a respected authority in Baltimore’s Orthodox community, but with no secular training as a psychologist or family counselor.

After brief conversations with Nanette Eisgrau and a psychiatrist who treated her for crisis management following a suicide attempt several years later, Hopfer determined that her accusations were baseless. He advised the family to cut off all contact with her, saying they had to choose between their father and sister – and he advised the community to do the same.

“I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder, but it was such a shanda [shame] for them, they just couldn’t deal with it,” she says now. “My mother continued to talk to me for a while after I was cut out – we even tried joint therapy together for a while after I tried to kill myself, but she denied that I had any baggage or any reason to be in treatment.

“What they have done to me since is a lot worse than even the original abuse. They cut me off in the most complete way I can imagine.

What’s even worse, I don’t think it’s only about me. They’ve made an example of me for the rest of the community to make sure that nobody else speaks out about abuse.”

Remembering Roland Arnall

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer wrote in 2012:

…subprime billionaire Roland Arnall, whom Bush had appointed Ambassador to the Netherlands for raising $12 million for him, who was the biggest donor to Arnold Schwarzenegger and, before him, Gray Davis, who co-founded the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the brow-beating Museum of Tolerance, was the founder of a couple of the biggest and worst subprime boiler rooms, Ameriquest and Argent. Previously, he had founded the notorious Long Beach Mortgage, which Washington Mutual bought.

In 2006, Arnall paid a $325 million fine to settle a lawsuit brought by 49 state attorneys general. Yet, Congress approved his nomination as ambassador. (Overall, states performed somewhat better in regulating subprime than feds, who mostly egged them on. The states were operating, on average, under older laws, while the feds were operating mostly under the U. of Chicago-style consensus that emerged over the last generation or so.) Here`s Arnall`s obituary by E. Scott Reckard of the L.A. Times, who covered subprime in real time better than anyone else. Roland invented the “stated income loan,” which did so much to help people realize the American Dream.

His widow Dawn is being sued by his brother for $47.6 million. The brother claims that Roland claimed he was strapped for cash because of the $325 million fine.

WIKIPEDIA: SHMAIS.com (Lubavitch News Website) reported that Chabad of California was to be the beneficiary of an $18 million donation from the estate of Roland Arnall. According to their source, before his death, he made arrangements for Rabbi Shlomo Cunin to receive the donation, and a short while later sent in a down payment of $180,000.[16] Arnall made three payments of $180,000 each to Chabad before dying of cancer in March 2008; after his death, Chabad sought payment for what it said was the balance of his pledge. Arnall’s widow, Dawn Arnall, denied that the payments made by her late husband had been part of a pledge. On January 25, 2013 a California appeals court affirmed a lower court’s ruling denying a claim from Chabad of California Inc. of an $18-million pledge that the local Jewish nonprofit group said was promised to it by Arnall.

Gays Get More Victim Points Than Blacks

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

In the West today, it’s not always easy to know which side has the most victim points. If Muslims persecute gays, who do you condemn? If a black Seventh-Day Adventist doctor-preacher condemns homosexuality and popular culture, who do you side with?

The answer is that you will rarely go wrong in America today if you side with the gays as the most oppressed group in human history.

If you get confused, consult Kevin Roderick. He’ll let you know who the good guys are. Kevin writes: “Folks around Pasadena don’t really want their director of public health bashing gays, Catholics, Muslims, evolution and popular culture from the pulpit. But in the state of Georgia? No problem! The Star-News says that Dr. Eric Walsh submitted his resignation to the city on Wednesday. He had been on leave since You Tube videos surfaced of his scapegoating sermons at a Seventh Day Adventist Church in Pasadena, leading Pasadena City College to wish they had not invited him to give the school’s commencement speech.”

Pasadena City College instead had the prestigious screenwriter Dustin Lance Black address them.

Robert Oscar Lopez writes:

Tom Daley recently lost his 40-year-old father, may he rest in peace. Daley is now 19 and, being young and good-looking, the subject of widespread fanfare in the gay press, from Queerty to Thinkprogress. All the homosexual outlets were abuzz when the teenage athlete announced he was dating a man, even though he didn’t want to identify as gay. A British paper broke the news that the mystery lover was actually Dustin Lance Black, over twice his age, who is right around the same age as Daley’s father upon the latter’s death.

Ironically, Dustin Lance Black won a 2008 Academy Award for the screenplay based on Harvey Milk’s life. Harvey Milk, who has been falsely lionized by the gay rights movement, was a criminal pederast.

I spoke with my friend who lives near me in LA, today. He’s straight but we know a lot of gay men in our social world. He told me, pointblank, he is against gay male couples adopting boys at any age. His reasoning? He can’t trust the gay male subculture not to use foster care and adoption as a means of finding fresh boy meat. I was hurt upon hearing these words, because I don’t think that being a gay or bisexual man means that you are automatically going to prey on teenage boys. But what can I say in response to him? We know from the case of Woody Allen that even famous people have been shameless enough to sleep with people they adopt. It just so happens that gay male culture treats the whole affair with such casual indifference, even reveling in the sick, twisted predation in all of it, that I feel, finally, like I have nothing to respond to my friend’s assertion.

I can hear right now the response from the pro-gay press: “But Daley’s nineteen, so he’s legal.” People who say things like that just prove that the gay male community has a lot of growing up to do. Toying with a nineteen-year-old’s sexual identity, when the person is still at a tender age, still not secure enough in himself to piece together what homosexuality means, or even know why he’s embarking on such a risky erotic journey — that’s just wrong. And until I see gay writers in Queerty and Thinkprogress acknowledging that this is a problem with the gay male community, I can’t deny that I feel uncomfortable with this, almost at the same level as my friend. A community led by people like Dustin Lance Black, a community that thinks this is normal and acceptable, is simply not a community that is prepared to have custody over defenseless pubescent boys.

Yes, it’s true that heterosexuals commit terrible sexual crimes — but heterosexuals make up 98% of the country, and for the most part, they have a guilty conscience and express disdain over blatant cradle-robbing like this. When Bill Clinton cheated on his wife with an intern half his age, he got impeached and disbarred–it would be a false canard to say that straights think this is okay, so gay people ought to get a pass. A critical mass of gays think it’s all very sexy. Remember that the case of Tyler Clementi came and went, without the gay press focusing on the culpability of the 30-year-old man–or indeed any of Clementi’s earlier Internet liaisons–who found it thinkable to go into a freshman dormitory and sodomize a boy who looked like he was about fifteen years old, regardless of whether he was technically “legal.” This worries me a great deal, because the statistics we have on gay male couples show that a large number of them have open marriages, where they bring third parties into their relationship for additional sexual release.

In my dealings over the last year with family members of children raised by gay male couples, as well as the children themselves, a recurring theme is that the gay dads leave their pornography around, leave around pornographic pictures of themselves, have threesomes or even larger orgies in the house while the teenage child is locked in their room, or speak in vulgar ways about sex in front of their charges. Often the ex-wives who have to see this are aghast. The children are traumatized by it. Relatives are alarmed. In some cases, the third party brought in for the “threesome” feels queasy when he realizes there’s a kid in the house. But we aren’t supposed to address these things, because we’re told these are all isolated cases, and anyway it’s wrong to stereotype.

The Daley story, like the Tyler Clementi and Caleb Laieski stories, and like the Mark Newton and Frank Lombard stories, however, reminds us that our fears aren’t actually founded on stereotypes. A gay male couple will, in most cases, have ties to the gay male community at large. And we can do a basic cultural analysis to understand the norms and understandings of the gay male community. It is a community that simply doesn’t have enough restraint or self-criticism when it comes to sexual activity that’s bad for children. I’m uneasy about mixing all of this together.

What we need is a good, stern speech from Jimmy Stewart.

Why Do Haredi Leaders Insist The Earth Is Only 6,000 Years Old?

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Luke Ford

Have they studied the evidence? Do they care about scientific truth? No. They want to maintain a way of life and they see modern findings that contradict tradition as a threat. Truth has nothing to do with it.

Do the enforcers of conventional views on race truly believe that each race is equally talented at everything? Not necessarily. They do believe, however, that the common people need to believe this. Are the ADL and the SPLC and the MSM interested in objectively viewing the evidence on the significance of race? No. They want to maintain a certain approach to life where all groups are viewed as having equal capabilities.

Why do people believe or pretend to believe something so stupid? For the same reason that addicts believe that they have a disease that is not their fault. Because of the consequences of this thinking.

People who deviate from the racial orthodoxy must be destroyed — according to the upholders of the conventional morality — because they threaten the fabric of the modern multi-cultural multi-racial West and might bring about genocide.

What’s My Strategy?

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Luke Ford

Over the past 17 years, people who were smart and who did not like my blogging, would try to figure out what I was doing. What was my strategy? Was I in it for the money or for the girls? Eventually people figured out that I have no strategy. I blog because it allows me to make money by thinking out loud and talking to people. There’s no vision beyond that. There are many things I believe in, often changing, but I don’t see myself as an advocate due to my flawed life (I bring disrepute on anything I espouse). I’m more interested in describing the world rather than trying to change it.

If my critics shut down my advertisers, I blog for thrills (and for donations). Something about being the youngest child of a preacher daddy drives me to express myself with shock and awe.

My first two years online, my battles were intense, and I felt like they were for my survival, but with every victory, my conflicts became less intense, and for the past six years, since my last sad victim in Rabbi YY Rubinstein, nobody has tried to intimidate me into shutting up.

Wielded correctly, the blog is mightier than the sword.

Jewish Eugenics

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes:

John Glad, retired director of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, wrote an important book in 2011, Jewish Eugenics, documenting the Jewish love-hate relationship with eugenics.

The most striking revelation is that, contrary to the current impression, Jews largely approved of eugenics until the end of the 1960s. (The most effective opponents tended to be Catholics, such as G.K Chesterton, author of 1922’s Eugenics and Other Evils.) Glad quotes endless Jewish spokesmen from the first seven decades of the 20th century to the effect that Jews had been practicing eugenic marriages for 3,000 years. The medical profession, which was largely secular and progressive, was enthusiastic about eugenics, and there was little evidence that the sizable number of Jewish doctors objected.

Rather, Jews didn’t contribute much scientifically to this quite productive movement because their city skills took them in other directions, such as becoming doctors rather than naturalists. To contribute to the Darwinian mainstream, it helped to be a smart country boy who grew up interested in plants, animals, and domestic animal breeding. Gould’s archrival Edward O. Wilson is a representative American version, an Alabama lad who couldn’t get enough of ants.

Using many hundreds of quotes from contemporary publications dating back to the 19th century, Glad traces the broad enthusiasm for eugenics among Jewish leaders, both progressive and conservative, assimilationist and Zionist, up through the 1960s. Then, following the rise of 1960s radicalism, Israel’s triumph in the 1967 Six-Day War, the UN’s 1975 vote to condemn Zionism as racism, and the subsequent Holocaust memorial movement, there emerged a new historical orthodoxy. Jewish intellectuals such as Gould systematically demonized eugenics as heavily responsible for the Nazis and much else that wasn’t good for the Jews.

According to Glad, the first books linking the Holocaust to the eugenics movement did not appear until the 1970s. Yet, by 2004, at least 131 such books had been published, most of them “shrill.”

Psycho-Therapy Via The Web

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Luke Ford

I suspect that sessions via the web are almost as good (say 80%?) as in person meetings for psycho-therapy, Alexander Technique, music instruction, etc for most people.
