‘Intelligence can be measured directly from brain scans, without tests of any sort.’

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

REPORT: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies typically collapse data from many subjects, but brain functional organization varies between individuals. Here we establish that this individual variability is both robust and reliable, using data from the Human Connectome Project to demonstrate that functional connectivity profiles act as a ‘fingerprint’ that can accurately identify subjects from a large group. Identification was successful across scan sessions and even between task and rest conditions, indicating that an individual’s connectivity profile is intrinsic, and can be used to distinguish that individual regardless of how the brain is engaged during imaging. Characteristic connectivity patterns were distributed throughout the brain, but the frontoparietal network emerged as most distinctive. Furthermore, we show that connectivity profiles predict levels of fluid intelligence: the same networks that were most discriminating of individuals were also most predictive of cognitive behavior. Results indicate the potential to draw inferences about single subjects on the basis of functional connectivity fMRI.

A Nation of Fly Larvae: Obama and Gun Control

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

Fred Reed writes:

Who is this President? How did we get him? Does he have anything in common with me? Is there anything even American about him? He is an African of Islamo-Indonesian culture, deeply hostile to America and white people and ruling with a dictatorial style more like that of Shaka Zulu than Thomas Jefferson.

Yet I confess to a grudging admiration. He, belonging to one of the virile peoples—blacks, Hispanics, and Moslems–has keenly diagnosed the weakness of American society:

There is no one who will say ”No.”

The Supreme Court? Nine corpses in a wax museum. Congress? If they all poisoned themselves nobody would notice. Though it would still be worth doing.

A President with brass balls—and god knows Hussein Obama has them—can do anything with an executive order. Anything. And we obey. “Yass, Bwana. What you say, Bwana.” Gun control? No problem. The Constitution? Say what? Wars anywhere and everywhere? Congress can read about them in the papers. It is astonishing.

More correctly, the European population–pale, white, feeble things wriggling like fly grubs in the corruption of a putrefying body politic—obey. Blacks and Moslems do not allow themselves to be pushed around. They are, whatever else they are, virile. They look to be history’s winners. Though not civilization’s.

Hussein Obama is something new, a President completely unconcerned with law, the principles of American governance, or the wishes of the majority. Most presidents engage in corruption and pillage within the Constitution, or at least within commuting range of it. This is the American way: Malfeasance, but within the rules. There are proprieties.

Hussein simply ignores the rules. He has no affection for European culture because he has no roots in it. Africa did not develop democracy or constitutional government, perhaps because doing so would have required writing. The Moslem world is equally dictatorial. Neither culture is much given to abstractions. Obama wants what he wants. Period.

Now he wants gun control. This means disarming people he doesn’t like. Controlling guns doesn’t prevent crime. Mexico has strict gun control Does anyone get shot in Mexico?

Nah. Never.

Guns? What have guns got to do with our problems? I, having a romantic attachment to the far-off days of constitutional government, law, low crime, and what was once called “civilization,” find myself asking:

When murders are overwhelmingly committed by blacks and Hispanics, do we have a gun problem, or a black-and-Hispanic problem?

When terrorism is overwhelmingly committed by Moslems, is the problem Islamophobia, or Moslems?

When malls are looted and cities burned overwhelmingly by black mobs, is the solution to outlaw malls and cities, or to control the mobs?

When Moslems mutilate their daughters, is the problem Patriarchy, or Moslems? (I have daughters. For such mutilation there should be a death penalty.)

We know the answers to the foregoing. However, there is the now-standard American approach of refusing to admit the obvious nature of problems. This precludes solving them. The downstream consequences are going to be fascinating.

I know, Hussein knows, we all know, that outlawing guns means disarming whites. Nobody is going to go into the depths of darkest Chicago and try to de-gun the occupants. As the looting and burning and destruction grow, as the looters and burners realize that no one is going to stop them, wise people want guns, for when. This will not have a happy ending.

Hussein, in what looks like racial vengeance brings in, as fast as he can get away with, large populations of his two ethnic groups, Africans and Mohammedans and, apparently because they are not white, Hispanics. This will have, is having, enormous consequences for the country, all brought about by one man with the will to do it. No popular vote, not a whimper from Congress. When poked, the vaunted American polity turns out to have the strength of a continental beached jellyfish.

In Third World countries with high rates of violence, the civilized population moves into gated communities with guards, often armed, at the entrances. It is what happened in the declining days of the Roman Empire, the gated communities being called “castles.” It is happening in America.New York Times: ”The phenomenon of walled cities and gated communities is a dramatic manifestation of a new fortress mentality growing in America….”

As the kids say, “Duh.”

Now I see that American whites are buying “safe rooms.” “A safe room or panic room is a fortified room that is installed in a private residence or business to provide a safe shelter, or hiding place, for the inhabitants in the event of a break in, home invasion….”

Now, who do you suppose the people in their safe rooms are afraid of? Is it Norwegian tourists of Viking persuasion waving swords, or feral Girl Scouts selling exploding cookies? Or hunting bends bands of savage rabbis armed with lead-weighted violins?

In reality of course it is blacks and Obama’s imports who drive the enfortressification of America. In a white neighborhood, or for that matter Chinese or Indian or Korean, you don’t need “safe rooms.” (Only occasionally are innocents found beaten to death with Ming vases. Usually wearing a helmet is sufficient protection because the porcelain is thin.)

Here we have yet more symptoms of America’s descent into the Third World. At all levels America’s governments cannot or will not enforce the laws. Standards of living fall, a rich oligarchy rules for its own benefit, merit gives way to racial nepotism, moronic students control the universities, and educational standards fall sharply to disguise the failures of, of course, the affirmative-action classes.

“Safe Rooms” are the last, pathetic, contemptible line of defense of frightened, passive white people against uncontrolled crime. The first and best defense is a culture that doesn’t commit crime and slams hard any intruding criminal. But this is racism. The second is a Ruger Redhawk and the will to use it, but if the remains are of the wrong color it’s a hate crime. Gated communities are subject to being found racist and forced to let in inner-city hunter-gatherers at subsidized rent. That leaves Safe Rooms.

Realistically–Oh! Odious word!—what can be done about the crime and looting of shopping centers? Nothing. Nothing, anyway, without igniting an epochal conflagration. The only way to stop confident looters is with force—and twenty cities would go up in flames. Who is going to risk it? And, one might ask, how is all of this going to help blacks?

It would be nice to have the rule of law, the same laws for everybody, but it is not the American way. Fly larvae. I’ll write from Mexico.

Memo To My Fellow Jews: Immigration Restriction Is NOT Nazism

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

Charles Bloch writes:

Donald Trump has released his first campaign ad repeating his call for halting immigration by illegals and Muslims, and sure enough, he’s being called xenophobic and racist [Donald Trump’s new TV ad: Make America great by keeping the darkies out, by Greg Sargent, Washington Post, January 4, 2016]. Of course, ever since Trump first called for a Muslim moratorium, he’s been openly compared to fascists and Nazis. Memo to my fellow Jews (among many others): immigration restriction is NOT Nazism.

For example:

This same political class is trying to compare any limits on the influx of Syrian and Islamic refugees to the supposedly shameful episode where Americans turned away Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany. Thus the Holocaust Museum, while not allowed to opine on public policy, opined “Nobody can reasonably argue that the response from the international community has been enough. As an institution we have a mandate to be the voice that the Jews of the 1930s did not have” [Holocaust Museum Sees a U.S. Duty to Syrian Refugees, by Josh Rogin, Bloomberg View, November 17, 2015]

Literally dozens more articles have appeared with headlines like:

A question: if our immigration policy must be determined by nightmares about Jews being forcibly sent to Nazi Germany, why do journalists want refugees to come to a country where Hitler Reincarnated may be the next President?

A small number of conservatives are pushing back against the Trump=Hitler, Syrian Refugees=Jews in Nazi Germany meme. But most do still accept that the US was in the wrong for not accepting Jewish refugees in the 1930s. For example, Jonathan S. Tobin noted in Commentary that “the refusal of the United States to take more than a token number of those Jews fleeing was a death sentence for those stuck in the Nazi empire of death” [Why Syria is not the Holocaust, November 20, 2015]. Breitbart contrasted the security concerns over Muslim immigrants to the supposedly racist concerns of Americans in the past: “One of the main reasons immigration laws restricted Jewish entry into the U.S. was to promote the racial, i.e. genetic, superiority of the national ‘stock.’ (Such eugenicist ideas were widespread, far beyond Nazi Germany.)” [Why Syrian Refugees are not like Jewish Refugees in WWII, by Joel Pollack, November 17, 2015]

But this assumption of American guilt about the death of Jews is simply a collection of tropes, easily disproved. Let’s examine them in turn.

  • The 1924 Act’s preference for Nordic Europeans prevented German Jews from immigrating to America.

Even accepting for the purposes of argument that Nordicism, anti-Semitism, and/or eugenics influenced the 1924 Act, it had no racial or ethnic test. Rather it set “nation of origin” quotas. Under the quota system, Germany had the highest allotment of quotas. Between 1933 and 1939, 95,000 German and Austrian Jews immigrated to the United States, making them proportionally more likely to immigrate than any other ethnic group.

  • Anti-Semitism led Americans to reject Jewish refugees.

Even a Washington Post story that tried to shame America into accepting Syrian refugees acknowledged “To be sure, the United States was emerging from the Great Depression, hardly a climate in which ordinary folks would welcome immigrants and economic competition.” [What Americans thought of Jewish refugees on the eve of World War II, by Ishaan Tharoor, November 17, 2015]

Indeed, the WaPo story noted “Support for accepting refugees was slightly lower” [when refugees were described in generic terms] “than when they were described as mostly Jewish.”

Furthermore, after Kristallnacht in 1938 support for accepting a limited number of refugees increased.

Americans were sympathetic to the Jewish persecution, but they were not willing to undermine their immigration policies when Americans were suffering.

  • The Jewish refugees had nowhere else to go and were sent straight back to Nazi Germany.

To the contrary, the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust discusses the efforts of the Joint Distribution Committee, the major Jewish organization that sought to resettle German and Austrian Jews, and reports:

JDC tried actively to find safe havens for refugees in Latin America. In 1938, in response to an offer to accept 100,000 Jewish refugees in his country, the JDC founded the Dominican Republic Settlement Association, which brought several hundred refugees to the experimental farm of Sosua. . . In 1939, when 907 passengers on the ship St. Louis were denied permission to land in Cuba despite the JDC’s efforts, the JDC arranged for the passengers to be accepted to England, Holland, Belgium, and France so they would not be returned to Germany. [page 368]

In 1933, there were 716,000 Jews in Germany and Austria. The vast majority of them fled, as the US Holocaust Museum notes that “by October 1941, when Jewish emigration was officially forbidden, the number . . .had declined to 163,000 from 716,000 in 1933,” the majority of whom were elderly. In other words, almost the Jews who wanted to leave Germany, left. Hundreds of thousands ended up in the United States, Palestine, the United Kingdom, however, many ended up fleeing to neighboring countries of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. With the exclusion of Switzerland, all these countries ended up under Nazi control.

  • Americans should have known the Holocaust was imminent.

By most accounts, the Nazis conceived of the “Final Solution” at the Wannsee Conference in 1942. In 1941, Nazi Germany banned Jewish emigration, so the issue of accepting German refugees became moot.

Thus, in order to attribute blame to Americans over the Holocaust, Americans must be credited with clairvoyance in the 1930s—to foresee that Germany would both take over much of Europe and then begin systematic killings of Jews.

But if we are to go by what economists call revealed preferences, even the majority of European Jews did not have this fear. As noted above, the JDC arranged for Jews, including those on the now infamous M.S. St. Louis, which ultimately returned to Europe, to settle in the Dominican Republic. Yet the Jews chose to return to other European countries, which weren’t Nazi-occupied at the time.

By the time the time Hitler began his Final Solution, almost all of Europe was engulfed in total war. The fate of millions of European Jews during the war was tragic, but a total of fifty million people died in that war, many of them civilians. U.S. immigration policy cannot begin to solve the world’s humanitarian problems.

VDARE,com Editor Peter Brimelow famously began his 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster by calling American immigration policy Hitler’s posthumous revenge—because it led the American elite, ”passionately concerned to cleanse itself from all taints of racism or xenophobia,” to go overboard on the other side. In other words, our Ruling Class began to see Hitler in any attempt to protect America’s ethnic integrity. Hence the current attacks on Donald Trump.

In the same way, refugee policy has become part of Hitler’s Revenge. Every group suddenly becomes oppressed Jews, and denying them entry equivalent to the Holocaust.

This misconception is just as dangerous as any amount of indifference. It is a libel and we must fight it.

After all, if mass immigration continues without limits, it will be Americans themselves who will be needing asylum.

Charles Bloch (email him) considers himself an unhyphenated American.

The Long Silence—The Cologne Sex Attacks And The German Media.

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

From VDARE: It took four days for the German Mainstream Media to report New Year’s Eve mass sex assaults on women by up to 1000 heavily intoxicated immigrants of “Arab or North African origin “, as the German police describe the still-unapprehended perpetrators—now. The internet and social media alone forced the MSM’s hand. And the German political class has plans for that.

What happened on a Cologne square near to Germany´s most famous Catholic cathedral recalled the sexual mob crimes on Tahrir Square in Cairo during the infamous “Arab Spring. “ While Germans welcomed the New Year with fire crackers, well-organized groups of immigrant men 18-35 surrounded and isolated their victims. So far more than 118 women have reported to the police that they were mugged by dozens of men who groped, insulted and robbed them. At least one woman was raped. [‘I Feel So Dirty. So Used’ — Harrowing Testimony Of Cologne Victims, Breitbart, January 6, 2016]

Significantly, similar attacks happened on New Year´s Eve in Hamburg, in Stuttgart and in other German towns. [Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women, BBC, January 5, 2016]

As in most cases of crimes committed by immigrants and “refugees” in Germany, the news was available only in the social media. At first, only two MSM outlets—the online editions of a local paper in Cologne and a magazine in Munich—reported the assaults.

One key reason for the delay: the reluctance of the local police themselves to report crimes linked to asylum seekers. “Exuberant atmosphere—celebration mostly peaceful” was the title of the Cologne police report published the morning after. [Archived copy: POL-K: 160101-1-K/LEV Ausgelassene Stimmung – Feiern weitgehend friedlich]

But in fact the police were very well informed about the events in the historic center of the city. Apart from anything else, a police woman had been assaulted too. Several police officers witnessed what was going on but were not able to intervene because they were surrounded and threatened by hundreds of aggressive and violent delinquents.

But only on Monday January 4—four days later—did Police Commissioner Wolfgang Albers denounced “criminal offenses of a completely new dimension” with a thousand suspects whose appearance indicate their “Arab or North African origin”.

Nevertheless, although the delinquents could not be identified arrested, the commissioner was sure that there were no asylum seekers among them!

On Tuesday January 5, the story finally entered the MSM—accompanied by the usual warnings not to blame Islam, mass immigration and Angela Merkel’s welcome policy towards “refugees,” which allegedly have nothing to do with the marauding gangs of Arab sex offenders.

It was a worst scenario for Leftists of all colors, Open Borders activists, feminists and Merkel´s cabinet because it affected women and immigrants, two of the most coddled client groups of the German welfare state.

But what happened in Cologne was simply too big to be ignored like the numerous individual cases of sexual violence committed inside and outside Germany’s refugee centers, the brawls between different ethnic and religious groups, and the continuous harassment of Christian refugees by Muslims.

Germany’s rulers prefer not to see what really happens in their country. In their eyes, the real danger are not militant Islamists and violent gangs of young men “with an immigrant background”, but Germans who Notice those crimes and are therefore regularly insulted as “racists” and “Nazis”.

A solid majority of the Germans does not trust politicians and the MSM. But multiculturalism and the ideology of perennial German guilt still dominate televised debates and op-eds in Left-leaning newspapers like the influential Süddeutsche Zeitung.

The tyranny of Political Correctness is supported by legal constraints, which do inhibit the police and the MSM’s ability to mention the ethnic origin or the religious affiliation of a perpetrator, particularly if he is part of a “vulnerable minority”. As a rule, the police do not report it at all.

(In December the Ministry of The Interior in the German state of Baden-Württemberg published for the first time figures on criminal offenses related to asylum applicants between January and November 2015. They represented one percent of the total population of Baden-Württemberg but were involved in five percent (27,255) of all registered crimes— among them 1000 cases of grievous bodily harm, 22 of attempted homicide and 700 of domestic burglary. Syrian asylum seekers were on top, with 5,576.)

The German “Press Council”, instituted in 1956 to head off government regulation by voluntary self-regulation, allows in its Code of Conduct the mention a criminal’s affiliation with an ethnic, religious or another minority only if the crime is directly related to that affiliation. [Guideline 12. 1 Reports On Crimes]You may report it, for instance, when Muslim gangs attack Christians because of their religion, or when Palestinians march together with German Communists and Nazis shouting “Hamas! Hamas! Jews to the gas!” as in Berlin last June. [Wave of anti-Semitic rallies hits cities across Germany, Times Of Israel, July 21, 2014] But you must not mention it in the case of sexual assaults, robbery, burglary or other crimes, because these crimes are not exclusively committed by these ethnic or religious groups.

In Cologne, there were simply too many women who described the sexual mob as of “Arab or North African origin” to be ignored. But one or even several individual cases would not have been enough to break the wall of silence.

Not less alarming are the attempts to shut down dissent voices against Merkel´s reckless policy of Open Borders. Take the case of Akif Pirincci, a German writer of Turkish origin, who warns constantly against the danger of Islamization and the transformation of Germany into a “Muslim dumping ground”. His books, among them Germany Gone Mad, [Deutschland von Sinnen ] were bestsellers—until this fall, the big publishers and bookshops decided not to distribute them anymore. It was the first time since the Nazi era that such a boycott had occurred. But instead of protesting, most German public intellectuals defended censorship.

Similarly, the Catholic journalist Matthias Matussek was fired by the newspaper Die Welt because he after the November massacres in Paris he posted on his personal Facebook page: “I think that the Terror in Paris will move also our debate about open borders and a quarter million of non-registered young Muslim men in our country in an entirely new and fresh direction”.

1447513454_matthias-matussek-auf-facebook

That debate has not happened, but Matussek lost his job.

Although German government, Establishment political parties and the MSM do their best to protect multiculturalism against a dissenting public, the country still does not meet the Political Correctness requirements of supranational European institutions. Thus the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), arguably the most dispensable body of the Council of Europe, has lambasted Germany because “the notion of racism is often interpreted too narrowly”—it does not cover “certain statements about Muslims focusing on security issues or a supposed `integration deficit’.”[ECRI Report On Germany, February 25, 2014 PDF]

These European guardians of PC criticized the fact that German newspapers carried excerpts from Thilo Sarrazin’s best-selling book Germany Abolishes Itself, which allegedly contains arguments “close to the theories of eugenics espoused by the National Socialists”.

Here are some of the citations the ECRI regards as typically Nazi:

  • “Immigrants from former Yugoslavia, Turkey and the Arab countries are at the heart of the integration problem.”
  • “Many Arabs and Turks in this city have no productive function, except for the fruit and vegetable trade.”
  • “If the least intelligent people have a higher fertility rate, the average intelligence of the population decreases.”
  • “I do not want the country of my grandchildren and great grandchildren to be mainly Muslim, that Turkish and Arabic are largely spoken, that women wear headscarves and the daily routine is determined by the call of the muezzins.”

What can we expect from 2016? Recently, the European Commission estimated that 3 million “refugees” could arrive in the EU in the course of the year—three times more than in 2015. Ms. Merkel still refuses to fix an upper limit to the influx of asylum seekers. If anything, the debate in Germany about a tightening of the asylum law only increase the influx—they want to get in as soon as possible because they fear that the gate could close.

My prediction: the dictatorship of Political Correctness will be further strengthened in Germany. Dissidents will be persecuted. Violence will occur between different groups of asylum seekers and between asylum seekers and the native German population. Social assistance will be redistributed from the European working poor to Arab immigrants. Islamization will continue.

And not just Germany, but also Europe, abolishes itself.

WaPo: “Germany Springs to Action Over Hate Speech Against Migrants”

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes:

Germany does have a problem with violence by thugs who are anti-immigrant: cases of arson, and the poor mayoress of Cologne got stabbed by a rightwinger last fall. The co-founder of the PEGIDA protests is a nightclub promoter with a long criminal record from his younger days.

But I wonder if the sleaziness of some of the public opponents of immigration in Germany is an effect more than a cause of the legal and social restraints on freedom of speech on this crucial topic?

COMMENTS:

* Yes, please keep suppressing legal dissent to the current lawless Merkel regime. That will bring no problems whatsoever. It’s not like Germans have a ready made role model for how to deal with criminal minorities. When have the Germans ever been good at organized violence?

* Discourse which is socially unacceptable gets pushed to the fringes, and only those who have nothing to lose (ie have independent income or have no status to begin with) can engage in it openly.

* Most prominent subreddits deleted posts about the attacks and banned their posters even if they were articles from liberal sources like the NYT and the BBC. This is censorship on Reddit, an american website.
Ostensibly the censorship is done by moderators, who are also users, but it is well known that moderators of big subs are being coordinated by employees on speech policies, especially since several openly racist subs were banned and the new CEO (who replaced Ellen Pao) made it clear that some content is off limits.
Facebook, Google, and Twitter are allowing ISIS propaganda, but they censor this.

* You can’t have a democratic society where the citizens are told they aren’t allowed to know certain facts or say certain things, because the right to know those facts and speak them freely is critical to making informed decisions. Ergo, German officials have conspired to make Germany an undemocratic society, and treat Germans as far less than citizens.

That is the truth which logically follows from the behavior of the German government and press.

* There was an assassination attempt on Nigel Farage but Merkel is still safe? There seems to be a disconnect between the scaremongering about the Nationalists, who don’t do much, and the Globalists who are portrayed as peaceful and yet they’re the instigators of turmoil and assassination attempts on those who reject the Globalist destruction of societies.

Frankly, I’m surprised that no present-day Claus von Stauffenberg taken action. As was noted upthread, those with too much to lose simply submit to oppression and those with nothing to lose are free to speak and act, but those with nothing to lose have little ability to change the course of events.

* – It is the AntiFa “refugees welcome” crowd that are more violent than the so-called far-Right. It will not surprise me, in the wake of the sexual assaults in Germany, if they torch some refugee centers themselves and blame it on the Right.
– There is a hilarious video on YouTube where some AntiFa members giddily try to join a gathering of Muslims in Rosengard, Sweden, expecting to be warmly received as friends; and are beaten and driven off.

* There’s still too much to lose and nothing to gain. Middle class people with jobs are not going to duke it out with riot police nor engage in street fights with Arabs and North Africans at this point. But there are only two eventual outcomes: surrender or brutal violence. Western immigration policy is completely irresponsible, i.e., treasonous.

* I hesitate to say this since I am only 11 years old and don’t know what all the legal ramifications are, “But, Frau Merkel isn’t wearing anything at all.” There, I’ve said it. I wonder if unz.com will block my “hate speech.”

* Steve, you refreshingly clarified issues that the average German does not even dream of.

I had not thought of the issue that the German media forces social media to repress non-violent free speech against refugees, but is unconcerned about twitter and facebook use to foment riots and terror.

German Main Stream Media censorship is even more efficient than in the US. The German Pressecodex 12.1 is similar to the US Associated Press Stylebook [2], demanding that race, religion, national origin of minority criminals be hidden.

Due to Nazi past knee jerk fears, and lack of first amendment rights, German censorship is a lot more efficient. Germans are totally deprived of knowledge that can be found on alternative English language sites.

Bold language, like Ann Coulter’s could lead to fines and prison terms in Germany.

* They condemn ‘racism’ along with ‘sexism’.

But isn’t it ‘racist’ to deny interracial passion? Besides, if Germans say it’s okay for aliens to violate and trespass into German territory, why are they complaining about aliens violating the bodies of German women? If it is ‘racist’ to deny forced entry into your land by foreign men, it must also be ‘racist’ to deny them forced entry into your body. Not only your land but your body must be ‘welcoming’ and ‘inclusive’ and never discriminate.

Nationalism is said to be ‘racist’ for denying trespass into your land by foreigners. Then, it follows that women’s rights are also ‘racist’ for giving women the choice of who gets in and who stays out.
Shouldn’t they be welcoming to any man who seeks refuge from sexual frustration?

Help the sexual refugees. Poor lads, all of them.

* The other day, Steve posted a item about forecasting and the lack of efficacy thereof, as it is commonly practiced.
Well on that note, two lions of the mid 20th century, who more or less got the present state of affairs bang to rights – in contrast to a whole host of other rather overrated and over lauded pundits, happen to be two Englishmen, of that peculiar school of middle-class English ‘practical men’ who eschew over-intellectualizing snobbery, and when would never but never use that pompous French affectation of ‘public intellectual’ and all the affectations which go with it, but rather have the perscipacity for seeing the world as it is, and the honesty of calling it out as it is.

I am speaking, of course, of George Orwell and Enoch Powell.

* Laws against “hate speech” are already here in the United States camouflaged as anti-bullying laws:

New Jersey high schooler accused of violating New Jersey anti-bullying laws for making anti-Israel tweets.

“A social media storm erupted after administrators at a New Jersey high school accused a student of bullying because of anti-Israel comments that she posted on Twitter. They say that the tweets may have violated the state’s broad anti-bullying laws. Bethany Koval, a 16-year-old Israeli Jew, said on Wednesday that she was called to the principal’s office at Fair Lawn High School and reprimanded for making tweets criticizing Israel and mentioning that a pro-Israel classmate had unfollowed her on Twitter.”

An Investigation of Global Policy with the Yamato Race as Nucleus

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

From Wikipedia:

An Investigation of Global Policy with the Yamato Race as Nucleus (大和民族を中核とする世界政策の検討, Yamato Minzoku o Chūkaku to suru Sekai Seisaku no Kentō?), was a secret Japanese government report created by the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Population Problems Research Center, and completed on July 1, 1943.

The document, comprising six volumes totaling 3,127 pages, deals with race theory in general, and the rationale behind policies adopted by wartime Japan towards other races, while also providing a vision of Asia under Japanese control.[1]

The document was written in an academic style, surveying Western philosophy on race from the writings of Plato and Aristotle to modern German social scientists, such as Karl Haushofer. A connection between racism, nationalism and imperialism was also claimed, with the conclusion, drawing by citing both British and German sources, that overseas expansionism was essential not only for military and economic security, but for preserving racial consciousness. Concerns pertaining to the cultural assimilation of second and third generation immigrants into foreign cultures were also mentioned.

Some statements in the document coincide with the then publicly espoused concept of Yamato People; however, much of the work borrowed heavily from German National Socialist racial, political and economic theories, including mention of the “Jewish” problem and inclusion of racist anti-Jewish political cartoons, although Japan had a rather negligible and largely overlooked Jewish minority. The term “blood and soil” was frequently used, though usually in quotes, as if to indicate its alien origin.[5]

The authors rationalized of Japanese colonization of most of the eastern hemisphere including New Zealand and Australia, with projected populations by the 1950s, as “securing the living space of the Yamato race”, a very clear echo of the Nazi concept of Lebensraum.

However, where the document deviated from Nazi ideology was in its use of Confucianism and the metaphor of the patriarchical family. This metaphor, with the non-Japanese Asians serving as children of the Japanese,[4] rationalized the “equitable inequality” of Japanese political, economic, and cultural dominance.[7] Just as a family has harmony and reciprocity, but with a clear-cut hierarchy, the Japanese, as a purportedly racially superior people, were destined to rule Asia “eternally” as the head of the family of Asian nations.[8] The term “proper place” was used frequently throughout the document.[5]

The document left open whether Japan was destined eventually to become head of the global family of nations.

The document drew an explicit distinction between jinshu (人種)[9] or Rasse (English: race), and minzoku (民族?) or Volk (English: people), describing a minzoku as “a natural and spiritual community bound by a common destiny.”[10] However, the authors went on to assert that blood mattered.[11] It approved of Hitler’s concern about finding the “Germanness” of his people.[12] It made explicit calls, sometimes approaching Nazi attitudes, for eugenic improvements, calling for the medical profession not to concentrate on the sick and weak, and for mental and physical training and selective marriages to improve the population

Pinker on the Hunt for IQ Genes

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Steve Pinker has done a great job of slowly and cautiously getting HBD thinking into the mainstream. He needs to watch his every step or he will be Watsoned by the censorship mob. So far he has shown a very deft touch in gently and subtly pushing the science. We need more major public figures like him in academia and the media.

* James Thompson has an excellent write up on a study that just came out.

It is a mind blowing scientific breakthrough. The actual paper is behind a paywall and the abstract is well named, so to understand the findings go to James Thompson’s blog.

There is a huge variation in genetic in human intelligence and HBDers as well as psychometric studies have been saying it for years. Now, finally now the scientific proof is coming out. Just read what James Thompson has to say, he quotes at length from the article which is going to open up the doors to a brave new world, where folks like Steve Sailer will have scientific proof to back up his HBD claims.

We live in interesting times. No doubt Razib Khan and Greg Cochran will have their take on what this all means coming out shortly. Honestly Pinker brilliant as he is, influential as he is, he isn’t on the hunt for IQ genes, he isn’t a geneticist. In a nutshell there are no individual genes with large impact on IQ. What this study has found is that there is a large group of genes that together create an optimum combination that cause a better functioning human brain.

* Since when is the test of a theory whether it is too depressing or not? You could consider it depressing to think that the sun will one day run out of fuel and all life on earth will perish but that’s no reason not to accept the scientific evidence that is so. It is fatalistic to think that the human lifespan appears to be limited to perhaps 120 years or so, but you can’t deny it. But somehow, in this area it’s OK to cover your ears and shout “nah, nah, nah, I can’t hear you” because it might cause you to draw uncomfortable conclusions.

By the way, the conclusions you draw from this have nothing to do with the findings themselves. Just because intelligence is partly heritable it doesn’t follow that we must therefore build extermination camps or sterilize the less intelligent. Human dignity does not have an IQ cutoff.

In some ways, acceptance of this would be liberating. Say you are a black person with an 85 IQ, just like your parents and siblings. You are constantly being told that you are actually a genius just like the great African geniuses who built the pyramids and yet you find academic work to be incredibly difficult. You are told that white people have cheated you by not teaching you in a culturally appropriate way, which fills you with anger (but nothing anyone tries seems to work). You keep trying and keep running up against intellectual brick walls – calculus, even algebra just don’t seem to register – it’s as if the teacher is speaking some foreign language that you don’t understand and you can never seem to break the code no matter how hard you study. Wouldn’t it be better to just accept that you just don’t have it in you because you were born that way?

I was always horribly uncoordinated – the last person to be picked for teams in gym class (and no one in my family has ever shown any glimmer of athletic talent). Nor am I particularly musical or artistic (again like the rest of my family) I grew to accept this situation. Although I wish that I had been gifted with more talent in these areas, I had to accept reality and play to my strengths instead.

* People who are terrible in math generally aren’t interested in math. Most adults of all ethnic groups don’t have basic calculus or even basic algebra proficiency. And they generally don’t care. If you meet people who are really interested in math, and do math for fun, they may not be math superstars or as good as they wish, but they generally have basic math aptitude. I’ve never heard of an adult who always wishes they could learn calculus but simply lacked the aptitude. Math skill is heritable, but I suspect that it is the personality that is interested in math that is inherited through genes, and the aptitude is developed in response.

* The book Architects of Annihilation is enlightening about the extent to which the Nazi program was mainstream technocratic thinking in racial guise. For example guidance about which East European ought to be selected for Germanisation specified they were to be from high achieving families irrespective of their sub racial type.

Births to Mexican women in the US are down 24% since the peak in 2007, but grew slightly from 2013 to 2014 suggesting the fall is over. Immigration is closely tied to baby-making, at least for Mexicans. Newly arrived Mexican women tend to rapidly pop out a sizable number of children, only to realize later that raising children in America is more expensive than they assumed.

The high Mexican birthrate during the Housing Bubble was of course related to the high immigration rate during Housing Bubble. The popping of the Housing Bubble hit Mexicans very hard, both in terms of defaulting on dubious loans and losing construction and mortgage vending jobs. But the big decline seems to be over.

The 2010s so far have been the decade of Asian immigrants, but now Central Americans are turning up. And the spike in Cuban births in 2014 is pretty interesting.

From Wikipedia:

Richard Nikolaus Eijiro, Count of Coudenhove-Kalergi[1] (November 16, 1894 – July 27, 1972) was an Austrian-Japanese politician, philosopher and count of Coudenhove-Kalergi. A pioneer of European integration, he served as the founding president of the Paneuropean Union for 49 years. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo.[2] His childhood name in Japan was Aoyama Eijiro. He became a Czechoslovak citizen in 1919 and then took French nationality from 1939 until his death.

His first book, titled Pan-Europa was published in 1923, and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement.

In his attitudes towards race and religion, Coudenhove-Kalergi continued the work of his father. In his youth, the elder Coudenhove-Kalergi was an antisemite. He had expected to confirm his antipathy towards the Jews when he started working on his treatise Das Wesen des Antisemitismus (The Essence of Antisemitism); but, Coudenhove-Kalergi came to a different conclusion by the time he published his book in 1901. Following an ironic critique of the new racial theories, he declared that the essence of antisemitism amounted to nothing more credible than fanatical religious hatred. He traced that fanaticism to religious bigotry that originated in the promulgation of Torah under Ezra. According to the elder Coudenhove-Kalergi, Jewish religious bigotry provoked opposition from the relatively tolerant Greco-Roman polytheists, eliciting their anti-Judaic reaction. Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi credited the Jews with originating religious intolerance, and condemned it as a violation of genuine religious principles. He branded every sort of anti-Judaism unchristian. He further urged liberal Christians and Jews to ally in protecting both of their religions, and religion as such, against the emerging menace of secularism.[39]

In spite of his opposition to simplistic racial theory, Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi agreed that Jews are racially distinct. Although he pointed out that there is no Semitic race, because Semitic is a language family, he equivocated by also remarking that the charges that Semites were uncreative were belied by civilizations formed by the Assyrians and Babylonians, who spoke Semitic languages. He further sought to defend the Jews against bigoted charges of parasitic greed and cowardice with anecdotal counterexamples of Jewish industriousness and martial courage.[40]

In an interview in the first Pan-European Congress in 1926, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi expressed the supports on Jews by the Pan-European movement and the benefits to Jews with the elimination of racial hatred and economic rivalry brought by the United States of Europe.[41]

In 1932 Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi composed a preface for a new edition of his father’s condemnation of antisemitism, reissued by his own publishing house. In 1933 he responded to the ascendance of National Socialism by collaborating with Heinrich Mann, Arthur Holitscher, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Max Brod in writing and publishing the pamphlet Gegen die Phrase vom jüdischen Schädling (Against the Phrase ‘Jewish Parasite’).

In his book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), he wrote:[42]

“ The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals. ”
“ Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit. This happened at the moment when Europe’s feudal aristocracy became dilapidated, and thanks to Jewish emancipation.

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* What German police need to do is set up a Morals Police division like Saudi Arabia to stop woman from walking around unescorted and to make sure they wear appropriate Burka’s so they don’t lure poor innocent immigrant men by showing off their ankles and faces.

* Lawrence Auster’s First Law:

“The worse any designated minority or alien group behaves in a liberal society, the bigger become the lies of Political Correctess in covering up for that group. Thus, instead of the revelation over the last 14 months of Islam’s dangerous and savage character leading (as would happen in a rational world) to a major discrediting of Muslims, or at least to a more sceptical attitude toward them, it has led to their being more favored, more coddled and more protected from criticism than ever before. They now get a whole new level of solicitous, sycophantic treatment, ranging from PBS “histories” of Islam that are more full of uncritical celebration of their subject than a tourist travelogue, to the media’s constant attacks on the rest of us for indulging in an anti-Muslim backlash which has somehow never occurred.

“That last point leads us to the first corrolary of Auster’s First Law of Majority/Minority Relations in Liberal Society: The more egregiously any non-Western or non-white group behaves, the more evil whites are made to appear for noticing and drawing rational conclusions about that group’s bad behavior.”

* Yes, we on the American Right are trying to warn and help our brothers and sisters in Europe, because Americans are still some of the best and least cynical people you will find on the planet. However, if I were to give in to darker, ambivalent feelings of schadenfreude, I would say it serves them right for how snotty and superior they have behaved toward American culture wars for decades. They have snorted at our guns for defense, the high crime and soaring prison demographics. Now they will see. It’s the beauty of diversity. Thank God and the American system we still have our guns.

* Whatever happens, we don’t want to start down that slippery slope of “blaming the perpetrator”.

Because Hitler.

Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, the phrase “blaming the victim” was coined by William Ryan in a book that was specifically written to challenge the Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” (the Moynihan Report). Ryan accused Moynihan of “blaming the victim” in ascribing black social pathology to the breakdown in family structure.

So the feminists don’t really own that whole idea anyway, and they should just shut up about it and get used to be being groped by feral third-worlders, I suppose.

* The media have lied about the extent of anti-white racial violence for decades – helped by the fact that until now most of it was in the poorest areas – with the police covering it up also to avoid getting attacked by the media.

Merkel’s blitzrape of Germany has brought it out into the open.

* I have read that the Cologne police have no suspects in the New Year’s Eve incidents. I suspect that this means that they intend to perform no genuine investigation. Maybe the work of Bismarck needs to be undone and Germany should redivide into its previous constituent parts–at least a few of these might find the will for self-preservation.

* Young German women have for so long been world champions at adventurous travel.

At least now they can enjoy the benefits of travel… without burning so much kerosene which tragically contributes to the greenhouse effect. They can now be culturally enriched by exotic vibrant dark morgenländische Gestalten in their very own home towns.

* Where’s FEMEN in all of this? What we need now is a FEMEN protest with bare breasts. They do this at the drop of a hat in front of a Catholic Church or inside an Orthodox Cathedral. Now we really have a misogynistic group of men attacking gals. Isn’t this what FEMEN was supposed to protest?

* In November 2014, five male African-American students were arrested for sexually assaulting a female student (race unknown to the public) at William Paterson University in Paterson, New Jersey. A newspaper article from that time summarized the incident as follows:

The men … blocked the residence hall doorway, restrained the victim, and demanded that she have sex with all five of them …..

Before the attack began, [one of the men] Collick allegedly said that if the victim “wanted to have sex with him she would have to have sex with all of them,” …. He then made the statement, “Well, let’s have sex,” ….

The lights and television at the dorm room … were shut off and someone blocked the door ….

At some point during the assault, [another of the men] Latimer an 18-year-old student … walked into the room asking what was going on, according to one complaint. When another defendant replied that they were having sex with the victim, Latimer said, “Oh word, can I jump on that?” according to the complaint. Latimer then allegedly forced the victim to perform oral sex before penetrating her ….

… university president Kathleen Waldron said she was “angry and dismayed that this crime was committed on our campus and allegedly by students,” adding that she had “deep concern” for the “courageous victim.”

Waldron summarily expelled all five male students from the university.

However, in January 2015 a grand jury decided not to indict any of the five students. A newspaper article about that decision remarked that the five accused students were supported by many other students who knew them.

The five men had support on campus … with several students saying they never doubted they were innocent. Several of the students said they were friendly with the defendants but had no personal knowledge of the incident. One student said the lack of an indictment was “the most ethical outcome” possible. About 50 students had shown up during a hearing in Superior Court to support the defendants.

“I knew they would come out innocent; the truth always comes out,” said Julie Capiris, 18, a freshman … who was among those at the courthouse.

“Saw it coming,” said Andy Johnson, a first-year student who knew the five men from the Educational Opportunity Fund, a state program that helps lower-income students with tuition and support services. “Justice was definitely served.”

Now four of the five students have sued the university and its campus police force. Here are key details:

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in state Superior Court in Paterson, an attorney for Collick and Williams said the accuser initiated consensual sex with the five defendants …. All of them were on good terms afterward, but the accuser went to the campus police later that day and reported the incident as a sexual assault, said Michael Epstein, the attorney.

“Without conducting any investigation and based on the accuser’s report alone,” campus police arrested the men within the next few days and charged them with numerous offenses, including aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit sexual assault and criminal restraint.

Campus police did not interview any other witnesses, did not obtain cell­phone records or surveillance video, and did not conduct a sexual assault examination — known as a rape kit — on the accuser, Epstein said.

“The officers who did the reported investigation were untrained, did not know how to conduct a sexual assault investigation,” Epstein said Tuesday.

Had they conducted a proper investigation, they would have found out that the accuser had called Collick 33 times that day with hopes of luring him into intercourse, Epstein said in the lawsuit.

“Interviews with other students would have revealed that the accuser was very sexually active at William Paterson, had many sexual partners, engaged in sexual activities with more than one partner on multiple occasions, had to change dormitory rooms because her roommate was uncomfortable with the level of the accuser’s sexual activity,” Epstein said in the lawsuit. Epstein also said the accuser had previous relations with Collick and Williams.
