BOOK REVIEW of Manning, J. ( 2008), The Finger Book: Sex, Behaviour and Disease Revealed in the Fingers. Pp. 170 + xiii. London : Faber & Faber.

Reviewed by CHRIS BRAND. Available at Amazon

This book, by a British evolutionary psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire (formerly Preston Polytechnic), argues that there are links between ring-finger length (RFL), testosteronization in the womb, masculinity, personality, polygamy and race. It gets off to a slow start, but there is drama enough by the finish.

The ring finger is hairier in males than other digits, perhaps reflecting its being more under the influence of the sex hormone testosterone and its being assigned for the wedding ring. In any case, RFL, relative to index-finger length (the normal ratio in Whites is approximately 1:1), is greater in males and also in top athletes and sportsmen, autists, attention-deficit children and butch lesbians; and it correlates negatively with psychologists’ measures of agreeability, gentleness and femininity. Thus goes the first 90% of Manning’s (rather repetitive) book.

Of course there are some problems. It is not obvious why RFL should be measured from the point of the finger’s lowest skin crease with the palm rather than from the knuckle. The inter-observer reliability for RFL is not stated or even considered. There seems no special reason why testosterone should especially affect the growth of the ring finger. All the associations with RFL mentioned above are pretty slight (Manning does not give correlations but his occasional scattergrams indicate effect sizes of around .25). And other efforts to argue for links to RFL don’t really work at all: the promised link to left-handedness doesn’t materialize (though Manning might have tried ‘mixed-handedness’, often associated with mild personality difficulties), and the proposed link to schizophrenia is a mess (with too many complications arising from ‘testosterone inhibitors’ and genes determining the uptake of said inhibitors). But Manning has had no difficulty finding academic collaborators to undertake empirical work with him over the 15 years since the RFL links were first advertised to psychologists by Hans Eysenck’s ‘first lieutenant,’ Glenn Wilson; and there clearly is a case to answer. Perhaps Manning has homed in, coming from the biological side, on the ‘tough vs tender-mindedness’ dimension long identified by Eysenck and psychometrician-psychologist Raymond Cattell (and summarized as a dimension underpinned by spatio-mechanical practicality vs broad attention and sensitivity in Chapter 1 of my own book, The g Factor, 1996/2000).

Anyway, answered the case will have to be. For, after a few unconvincing excursions into the auto-immune problems (like asthma and eczema) resulting from testosterone which are to explain why Black people suffer AIDS (not because of sexual frequencies and techniques, apparently….) and have black skin, and an extraordinarily inconclusive account of male homosexuality (failing to take the obvious step of look for RFL/testosterone differences between sodomizers and the sodomized), Manning brings his book to a close with a splendidly engaging claim about race.

All but the most piously anti-racist readers who have got this far with the present review will know of the claims of Philippe Rushton, Richard Lynn and the London School that the main established psychological gradation between the human races is that running from East Asians through Caucasians to Negroes and characterized primarily as one of inherited general intelligence (cf. IQ) though also being linked to law-abidingness and sexual restraint. Well, Manning likewise has a broad dimensional claim to outline – set out finally in a graph on the penultimate page of his book.

Though not especially motivated to study race – and thus apparently never having read any London School work – the empirical studies which he has found or organized have yielded a clear and interesting picture, bringing together Blacks and East Asians (Zulus, Jamaicans, Chinese and Japanese) as high-RFL and distinguishing them from the typically low-RFL Europeans (Polish, Spanish, English and Hungarian – with Germans and Gypsies scoring a little higher, intermediate with Chinese levels). For just what this means (if it replicates), Manning’s readers are left to refer to the book’s earlier claims. But the finding of a marked and allegedly important similarity between Blacks and East Asians will amaze many – and not just Rushton and Lynn. This is particularly because, having started his book by tending to play up the advantages of early testosterone (good for the heart, supposedly), Manning ends by making the human shift to right-handedness (long called ‘the right-shift factor’ by the equally unmentioned Marian Annette) fundamental to language and civilization as we know it and attributing it to foetal oestrogen and thus linking it to short RFL.

While, in the year of the Peking Olympics, Chinese people might draw some encouragement from being linked with Blacks and their well-known athleticism, and even hope the similarity could assist mutual understanding in China’s growing African empire, it is hard to doubt that East Asian scholars, after their countries’ efforts to Westernize (with evident successes in the field of classical music), will not soon take umbrage at Manning’s story. Hopefully ‘revenge’ will take the happy form of empirical work; and Manning sounds the kind of person who would welcome any number of extra studies of his RFL baby.

But, while East Asians gird their evo-psychological loins, Manning should take a look at London School work, make sure he is happy in his challenge to it, and get ready to dispute with those who will demand his head as a ‘racist.’ – Not that the Europeans will mind too much, embarked as they already are on trying to impose their gentility, liberalism and feminism on immigrant Muslims (without much help from feminists). Poles will recall their country’s 18th-century idealism as it opted for a (totally unworkable) democracy requiring a 100% level of parliamentary consensus; Spain will recall its long history as the main champion of Holy Roman Catholicism (till the richer Austria and Germany took over); the English will recall their great queens (and Mrs Thatcher); and the Hungarians will know that their astronomical suicide rate reflects high romanticism among a handsome and gracious people. But to lift the origins of civilization from the ‘polygamous’ Chinese will take some doing.

PEECEE IS A RACISM

A fine summary and critique of the arrival of Political Correctness in Britain was provided in the Brussels Journal by A. Millar, 1 v, making the point that PeeCee was virtually racist in its demolition of the famed British sense of humour. {Interestingly, the House of Lords, when considering new legislation against "incitement to homophobic hatred" (Daily Telegraph, 23 iv), had expressly exempted "jokes or broader criticism about alternative lifestyles"; but apparently it had not been asked to extend the same exemption to "jokes or broader criticism" re race and religion.}


OBAMAMANIA BITES DUST

America's piously hysterical belief that it could solve its post-slavery racial problem of leftist-induced White guilt by electing a Christian family-man darkie as President took a knock as historian Daniel Pipes revealed that nignog half-caste contender Boring Osama had had a largely Muslim childhood (e.g. being registered at school as Islamic (See here); and then foundered altogether as Borat Hussein Osama's Chicago pastor took terminally to the media limelight.

During a question and answer session in front of 30 television cameras, the publicity-mad 66-year-old Bleck clergyman, `Rev.' Jeremiah Wright stood by claims that America was to blame for the 9/11 attacks, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, regarded by many as an anti-Semite, and stood by his belief that the US government created AIDS to infect Black people.

Rejoicing in the Hitlery Clinton Democrat camp at this gift from the gods was doubtless unconstrained. Harvard's post-modern intellectuals were dismayed, but whether they would up sticks and join their dahlin' Blecks to form a breakaway state of NiggaMississippi remained unclear since these anti-IQ Whites were so full of shit that they could hardly move. At last, the sheer stupidity of Blacks like Rev. Wright had arrived to save loonily idealistic Whites from their self-induced guilt.

Contrary to Osama's claims that his influential mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was a `conservative' figure,



Stanley reported her to have been a raving Marxist and multiculturalist and a gratuitous miscegenator.

The prominent African-American intellectual, Dr Thomas Sowell, wrote on the conservative TownHall.com website:

"An email from a reader said that, while Hillary Clinton tells lies, Barack Obama is himself a lie. That is becoming painfully apparent with each new revelation of how drastically his carefully crafted image this election year contrasts with what he has actually been saying and doing for many years. There is not a speck of evidence that Obama has ever transcended party differences in the United States Senate. Voting records analysed by the National Journal show him to be the farthest left of anyone in the Senate. Nor has he sponsored any significant bipartisan legislation - nor any other significant legislation, for that matter ...His behaviour has been remarkably consistent over the years. He has sought out and joined with the radical, anti-Western left, whether Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers of the terrorist Weatherman underground, or the anti-Israeli Rashid Khalidi."

BLECK FAILURES ADMITTED

Not a single African country had met the U.N.-announced and funded goals of 2001, admitted the wretched IQ-ignoracist bureaucrats including pathetic Secretary-General Banki MulticultiLoon (1 v).


FLICKERS OF FASCISM OOOPS FREEDOM

Activities such as collecting signatures against mosque building, telling Muslim schoolgirls to unveil their faces and letting pigs loose near mosques were reported from Northern Italy (especially Padua) by the Times (3 v). In England, a disastrous night for Labour and Muslim extremists* in local elections improved one's faith in fellow countrymen as 44% voted Conservative and >5% voted BNP (giving the BNP a seat** in the Greater London Assembly and making Boris Johnson Mayor of London thanks to their 131K second-preference votes); and even the Guardian admitted Labour had wasted taxpayers' money on top-down-run `services'***; but it was noticeable that not a single Conservative candidate got as far as using the words race, crime and IQ in the same paragraph, and the result brought no joy at all to columnists Simon Heffer (who could not get his boots on for `BoJo' Johnson) and Peter Hitchens (waiting for the Conservative Party to break up and thus permit the formation of a truly right-wing English/British Party - Daily Mail, 3 v). In America, Hillary Clinton declared Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright's condemnation of America itself for 9/11 "offensive."

(Naturally, these miniscule steps toward freedom from multiculti nonsense were quite overshadowed as 5,000 enraged Pakistanis demonstrated in Karachi streets, burning effigies to protest against the Dutch film `Fitna' [see above]..)

* Fanatical Muesli groups in Britain had conducted a sustained and ferocious campaign against Boris, even implying he would ban the Koran (Canadian Free Press, 4 v).

** The seat was won by the BNP's London frontman councillor and artist (with a history of homo-erotic film-making) Richard Barnbrook despite determined media pressure to ignore him - except in so far as the News of the World (26 iv) and Daily Mail (28 iv) exposed him a few days previously as having run two girlfiends through 2007 (one being gorgeous top ballerina Simone Clarke and the other being biddable redhead Finnish nurse Annika Tavilampi) while divorcing an American wife and policewoman who had left him as he developed his BNP views.

*** "The Tories may not have refined their prescriptions for Britain, but they adeptly diagnose Labour's failings: Billions spent on the public sector were squandered because reform was not vigorous or consistent enough." - 4 v.


BLACK HARVARD PROFESSORINE DENIES RACE-GENE LINKS

Bringing the LUniversity of Harvard into the gutter, Asst. Prof. Donna Fullwiley [sic] of the Dept of Anthropology and African-American Studies announced her considered opinion that race was not determined by genetics (Harvard Magazine, v 08). Right on, Dotty Donna! Give the Full Wiley and get arse-licking feminists and socialists and kindred handicapped to go along with you in frothing for the sacking any remaining race realists till you all choke on your Prescottian vomit!


(NORTH) ITALY TO DEFY BLECK HORDES

Just as France's Sarko (almost understandably besotted by leggy leftish ex-supermodel Carla Bruni) proved a busted flush (intent only on funding mosques and deluding himself this would give him some control of them) and Spain's newly elected socialist Prime Minister Zapatero rejoiced in appointing a >50% female Cabinet (including a pregnant - if admittedly quite dishy - Ministress of Defence to preside over Spain's non-fighting army), Italy provided hope for race realists as the handsome 18-year-younger wife of the newly and comfortably elected P.M. Silvio Berlusconi, 71, backed the plans of the Northern League (in Italy's more advanced and civilized areas around Milan - less in thrall to either the R.C. Church or the Mafia) for substantial autonomy from Rome (with militant NL leader Umberto Bossi proposing to shoot illegal North African migrants in their boats).

In Rome, there were (apparently non-ironic) cries of `Il Duce!' as Celtic-cross-wearing Gianni Alemanno, 50, a firebrand former neo-fascist youth leader, took 54% of the vote in the mayoral election, crushing his rival, Francesco Rutelli, a deputy prime minister in the last, centre-left government, and promising to expel 20,000 up-to-no-good immigrants (whose violent crimes - including rapes -- had shocked Italians) and raze 85 "abusive nomad" encampments of Roma gypsies (Guardian, 28 iv).

The Guardian's Martin Jacques estimated all this as a "major shift to the right" for Italy and counselled Europe to beware. Mr Bossi said that immigrants had to be hunted down, and that, if reforms were not forthcoming, his followers would take up arms. "We have no fear of taking things to the piazzas. We have 300,000 martyrs ready to come down from the mountains. Our rifles are always smoking," he said. In a poll, 55% of Italians said Muslim immigration was problematic (Reuters, 29 iv) - Muslims made up at least 1M of Italy's 58M population.

From New York, `Taki' wrote in the Spectator, 26 iv:

"Some clown by the name of Jones writes against `the slippery sleazeball and the far Right' in a tabloid in England. He means Berlusconi and the Lega Norte, a party which is anti-immigration. When clowns are given the right of their opinions in major newspapers, it's time to emigrate. Italy is sinking under the weight of illegal immigration. It has open borders everywhere and they're pouring in. Berlusconi will try to do something which should have been done long ago. He's called a sleazeball as a result. The Lega Norte, like the Flemish Vlaams party in Belgium, does not wish to end up like the Dutch, held hostage to fanatic Islamists. What is so sleazy about that?"

The g Factor SELLS FOR over one hundred pounds

After years of suppression by the left establishment, my 1996 book had become a `collectors' item,' costing more than $200 {for its entirely unique insights into and explanations of the differential psychology of intelligence}: See here (3 copies available).


IQ BOOST CLAIMS UNDULY SENSATIONAL

As pop (para)psychologist Prof. Richard Wiseman, U. Hertfordshire, talked up for journalists Swiss-American research (by Susanne Jaeggi et al., U. Michigan) claiming IQ gains after two weeks of 30-minute-daily practice at memorizing squares appearing and disappearing on a computer screen, top psychogeneticist Robert Plomin stepped forward to urge calm, saying the gains were modest and quite in keeping with perfectly well known practice effects {documented in The g Factor, 1996/2000} (New Scientist, 28 iv).

GENE FOR `RUTHLESSNESS'

The gene AVPR1a was found to be associated with mean-spirited moves in 200 students playing a `Dictator Game' at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Nature News, 4 iv).


MULTICULTURALISM REJECTED

In a survey for Channel 4's `Immigration: The Inconvenient Truth,' top pollster YouGov found that 15 per cent of Britons would halt immigration altogether and 84 per cent would reduce it. 63 per cent of settled Commonwealth immigrants agreed with them. Two-thirds of those polled believed that migrant workers were undercutting native workers and taking their jobs. Immigration was also considered by the British to be the biggest factor behind societal breakdown over the past decade. Some 58 per cent thought the nation's cultural fabric was being "damaged and diluted" by immigration. Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch UK, a pressure group, said: "This is stunning confirmation that the public want to see firm and effective action to reduce the scale of immigration. It is a view shared by two-thirds of previous immigrants. The Government cannot remain in denial much longer." Only 25 per cent of those polled said immigration had led to a rich and varied culture in Britain -- compared with 58 per cent who said it had not. 69 per cent of Britons said multiculturalism was not working as did 45 per cent of settled migrants and 41 per cent of new arrivals.


UNITED WE STAND . . . .

Lisbet Rausing,* the mega-rich conservationist, academic philanthropist and Harvard-educated champion at Imperial College London of Linnaeus and his McDougallian ideas of how to classify the racial types of Europe (Nordic, Alpinic, Mediterranean - see Diary, 2004 [FIND Rausing]), but unwilling to link up with the London School, suffered the embarrassment of having her still-richer younger brother (a personal friend of Prince Charles) and his wife - a generous table-dancing patroness of addiction centres all over the UK - arrested at their gracious home in London's Chelsea for possession of at least œ2,000-worth of heroin and crack cocaine (Daily Mail, 9 iv).

{What a pity Lisbet had not used her influence to bring out the London elite in favour of race-, sex- and drugs-realism and the natural policies of national liberalism to which they lead. Instead, while British squaddies toiled to burn all the poppies in Afghanistan, the London elite were themselves taking heroin while pretending to the tyrannous media that paedophilia was the worst of crimes, that race was not a problem, and that drugs were very naughty indeed - they had even kept mum as P.M. Grumpy Gordon moved to reclassify cannabis as a Grade B dangerous drug for the simple possession of which users could get a full 5 years in jail.}

* The oldest of multi-billionaire Hans Rausing's three children lives in Holland Park, and has a 32,000-acre home in Scotland. She is married to Peter Baldwin, professor of history at Los Angeles university, and is herself a historian, with a doctorate from Harvard. The couple run a trust called Arcadia to donate part of her fortune. It funds charities and other organisation that "preserve cultural and social knowledge or protect natural diversity". The fund gave œ20m to the London School of Oriental and African Studies, and œ2.5m towards a programme to put Harvard's library collection online. - Independent, 12 iv. The family history included elements of austerity, hippiedom, drug use and rehabilitation. - Times, 13 iv.


BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES RE-DISCOVERED (TO MEDIA ASTONISHMENT)

41 years after childhood sex differences were recognized as largely genetic thanks to the magisterial review by Eleanor Maccoby (1967, The Development of Sex Differences, Tavistock), researchers in Georgia took the trouble to show it was not just male human primates who preferred toy lorries and guns to dolls: male rhesus monkeys differed similarly from their female conspecifics (Daily Telegraph, 7 iv).

At the same time, London researchers replicated the nineteenth-century work of Cesare Lombroso, finding that many troublesome (pre-delinquent) children could be identified by age 3 and tended to have low-set ears and furrowed (aka fissured or scrotal) tongues (News.com.au, 10 iv).


WHITE RUSSIA ON THE BABY TRAIL

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's population plummeted, and until 2006 was shrinking at the rate of about 750,000 people a year.So the Kremlin made kids a priority. A 2007 law expanded maternity leave benefits and payments, and granted mothers educational and other vouchers worth $10,650 for a second child and any thereafter. More important, perhaps, Russia's surging economy made it possible for young couples to plan for their future. The population decline hadn't halted, and demographers warned it could plummet again. But by 2007 births were on the rise, from 1.4 million in 2006 to 1.6 million in 2007-- their highest level in 15 years.


WHITE GUILT FOREVER . . . .

Having sunk itself and the rest of the West in debt and near-recession by strong-arming its banks to grant 100% mortgages to useless Blacks who could never repay them (being murdered by other Blacks, in prison, on drugs or dying of AIDS), the hapless U.S. found itself additionally accused of a racist plot against Bleck communities, with Whites supposedly having *planned* to bring niggas into eternal debt and repossession (Louisiana Weekly, `The latest hate crime in history,' 7 iv).

Meantime there was a reminder that at least three Black African countries (Mauritania, Niger and the Sudan) allowed themselves de facto the practice of keeping slaves -- including beating and raping them and passing them on in their hundreds of thousands from one generation of Black masters to another (AmRen, 7 iv).


BRITISH SOCIALISM TRASHED

As nail-bitten fearful-chinned Grumpy Gordon's famous promise of `an end to boom and bust' came to grief (with British house prices declining 2.5% in a month), a Labour M.P. told him people `didn't know who he was.' The answer came soon. "A tiny little dot," said the tinpot Hitler-moustachioed African dictator, the once-darling-of-the-left Robert Mugabe, 84 (Sun, 12 iv; Scotland on Sunday, 13 iv; Sunday Mail, 13 iv; Sunday People, 13 iv; Gulf News [U.A.E.], 13 iv; Sydney Morning Herald, 13 iv; Malaysia Sun, 13 iv; International Herald Tribune, 13 iv). Mad Mugabe (whose first honorary degree had come from the LUniversity of Edinburgh in 1984 [revoked 2007]) was supported by AIDS-denying South African Black-loon P.M. Thabo Mbeki, who - despite pleas from Little Dot Brown for co-operation -- insisted that Zimbabwe's near-starvation, 100,000%p.a. inflation, intimidated citizenry and postponed election results were not a sign of crisis (as he waited for ex-Rhodesia's rich farmlands to fall into his lap).

Britain's P.M. having been "The Iron Lady" had changed in less than twenty years to being a "little dot" was what John `Classless Society' Major, image-mad hypocrite Rev. Blair and dithering anti-IQ egalitarian Stalinist Brown had wreaked. Matters were made no easier as `Little Dot' turned out to have been a girl cartoon character of the 1950's who wore polka-dot dresses expressing her obsession with dots and had an even whackier extended family of fruitcakes living in `Dotland.' Whether Brown would redeem ZaNuLabour's failure to execute a single Muesli traitor by mounting a Falklands-style assault on Mugabe and cronies (sadly some 300 miles across Mozambique from Africa's eastern seaboard - but perhaps attackable using the Ladies' Detective Agency in cute neighbouring Botswana [formerly Bechuanaland]) was the immediate question - but few of the Britons who hadn't already left for France, Spain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand held their breath.


WELFARE BRITAIN REVEALED

As the case of missing-for-a-month Shannon Matthews of Dewsbury continued, her council-house-dwelling relatives were one-by-one imprisoned for paedophilic downloadings and perverting the course of justice; and her mother Karen in particular emerged as a 60-cigs-a-day violent boozer and layabout who had deliberately got her seven children in order to increase her state benefits in crazy socialist Britain (News of the World, 13 iv).


SOCIALISM TO THE SLAUGHTER

As it was revealed that grammar schools enjoyed less financial support than did `poorly performing schools' in neighbouring areas, and that the major external source of funding for British universities had become Islam (Sunday Telegraph, 13 iv), the day rolled closer when a Henry VIII-style reformation would take education from the hands of left-wing local authorities and national tax-and-spend cliques and hand it over to a democratic-elitist House of Lords - a day made still more likely by the Conservatives (despite their cowardice about peecee-multiculturalism and their Blairite addiction to image-making) forging to a 16% lead in UK opinion polls.

The extent of the socialist disaster in education was dwelt on by maverick Labour M.P. Frank Field (long an unlikely champion on Labour benches of freedom, individual responsibility and realism), who pointed out (Sunday Telegraph, 13 iv) that Labour still needed to deliver the technical schools which (along with grammar schools and secondary modern schools) had been planned by Britain's wartime coalition government in the 1944 Education Act (chief psychological adviser: Cyril Burt).


ZANULABOUR DISSENSIONS MOUNT

Just one example of Brownite socialist throwbacks -- their wheezes all busted, and having no other principle than desperate pseudo-egalitarianism (championed by image-seeking leader-in-waiting Ed Balls) -- fighting like cats in a sack:

"In the House of Lords, Lady Ashton, the leader of the Upper Chamber, is barely speaking to Lady Scotland, the black Attorney-General. An impeccable liberal, Lady Ashton has not forgiven the black peeress for leaning over to an Asian lobbyist during a recent meeting to discuss forced marriages among Srindopakeshis and saying words to the effect: "Don't worry, these white people don't really understand what we have to go through."

B.B. TO FIGHT `RACISM' CHARGE



France's one-time sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot,, was put on criminal trial for criticizing the "cruel" Muslim method of sheep slaughter, writing "We are fed up with being led by the nose by this entire population who are destroying us and our way of life," and thus supposedly `inciting racial hatred' against Muslims - the verdict being expected on June 3rd (Sun, 15 iv 2008). Once-pouting B.B., 73 and an active animal campaigner, was absent from the Paris court because of illness; she had four previous convictions for anti-gay and `racist' remarks as she had protested against "the Islamicization of France." Prosecutor Anne de Fontette was pushing for a two-year suspended prison sentence and a fine of 15,000 euros (œ12,100). "I am a little tired of prosecuting Ms Bardot," she superciliously told the court.

A West London schoolteacher, Colin Cook, 58, won œ70K from a Muslim school which he had revealed as using flagrantly anti-Semitic and anti-Christian textbooks and which had sacked him after he had blown the whistle on examination fraud (Sun, 15 iv).

At least B.B. found some support in America, where FrontPage concluded (21 iv):

"To understand just how sinister are the attacks on Bardot it is useful to consider the group that repeatedly has brought suit against her, the Movement Against Racism And For Friendship Between Peoples (MRAP). Inaccurately called a human-rights group, the MRAP is in fact an aggressive silencer of free-speech. Its most famous contribution to French political life was to thwart the sale of the late Oriana Fallaci's 2002 book, Anger and Pride, on the grounds that it supposedly incited racial hatred against Muslims.

Similarly, when Bardot published A Cry in the Silence in 2003, the MRAP pronounced it "unacceptable," thus appointing itself the arbiter of what French citizens should and should not be allowed to read. But of course groups like the MRAP would be inconsequential were it not for the dangerous proclivity of the French legal establishment for treating their fictitious allegations of racism with unmerited seriousness. In this context, it was illuminating when a French prosecutor last week called for unusually stiff penalties against Bardot in the current case against the actress because she was a "bit tired of trying Madame Bardot."

How much easier it would be for that civil servant and countless others like her if nuisances like Bardot would simply surrender their right to speak freely. Bardot may not be the most artful of social commentators, but then she doesn't need to be. Nothing demonstrates the prescience of her warnings - not least her warning about the dangers of sacrificing Western liberties to accommodate the extreme demands of hostile minority groups - so much as the ongoing efforts of the French state to silence the woman it once hailed as an idol."

One AmRen correspondent wrote:

The immigrants (and other so-called "minorities") would never be the REAL problem without the constant support and egging-on of certain elements among the white elite who influence legislation, write newspaper columns, produce TV programs, sway governments, and pass laws favoring them. On their own, the "immigrants" could never have accomplished this - not without powerful help from those insider elements (a few of whom are now having second thoughts about this Frankenstien monster which THEY have created).

How odd that Islam and Marxism, which are natural enemies at opposite poles from each other, find common ground on the issue of race. Here at least, they have made a temporary truce. Something like the Hitler-Stalin pact. That is, until they can get back to the business of eradicating each other, after they've taken care of us. A year ago, Sarkozy was elected President (with massive help from the media). Many Frenchmen (frightened off from LePen by scare stories in the press) voted for the tough-talking Sarkozy in confidence that he would finally do something about the Afro-Arab problem.

Well, its one year now. What has he done? The sporadic riots have continued, and even gotten worse. The alienation and crime in the suburbs continue. Sarkozy is now proposing affirmative action for immigrants and to give them still more aid and concessions. Hardly what most Frenchmen had in mind! Forget about Islam; religion is not really the issue here (though that's not to say that it's entirely irrelevant either). The main issue is basically racial. (That's revealed by the fact that they prosecute criticism of Moslems as racial crimes.) The fact is that the Moslems/Arabs/North Africans are a very racially scrambled group; and those who are in power in France, both out front and behind the scenes, love that. North Africans represent exactly the race-blind "diversity" that they seek, and which they are determined (in all our countries) to impose upon us all.

And I wrote to B.B.'s Foundation (http://www.fondationbrigittebardot.fr/site/fbb_a.php?IdPere=172&Id=172) as follows:

Just to congratulate B.B. in her battle against the Islamicisation of France -- a new Jeanne d'Arc, indeed, to whom Frenchmen should rally before free speech and kindness to women and animals are extinguished by the Muslim hordes that have invaded France.
Perhaps helpfully to B.B., the U.K.'s House of Lords, debating new proposed legislation to near-terminally restrict freedom of speech, decided NOT to include within `incitement to homophobic hatred' jokes about queers or `broader criticism about alternative lifestyles'; and this modification to H.M.G. proposals seemed likely to be accepted (Daily Telegraph, 23 iv) - and would surely then provide a powerful rationale and precedent for similarly emending legislation regarding incitement to racial and religious hatred.

ENOCH (DIMLY) RECALLED

Enoch Powell's `Rivers of Blood' speech of 20 iv 1968 was recalled by BBC Radio 4 explaining (fairly enough) that Enoch had wanted to prevent Britain descending into the `communalism' that had ravaged India at independence, by British racial equality supremo Black Trevor Phillips re-affirming that he wanted to go beyond `multiculturalism' to `integration' [like Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson insisting on every Black woman's right to a White husband.] and the Torygraph's Alasdair Palmer pointing out that Britain was accepting 40,000 `transcontinental' spouses each year - most of them illiterate Pakistanis brought in to marry `British'-Paki girls under the threat of honour killing. - No, there was no media mention of race, IQ, Blacks, Pakis or `Enoch Powell and the rise of political correctness in Britain.'


SCIENTIFIC RACIST NEW BOY ON THE BLOCK

After years of London School psychologists being unable to find mainstream publication for their view that Blacks were deep-seatedly different from Whites in their low IQ, sexual vigour, criminality, AIDS-proneness etc., Faber & Faber, London, saw fit to publish The Finger Book in which biologist, `evopsychologist' and "pioneer in his [finger-length] field" (New Scientist, 15 iii) Professor John T. Manning (first of U. Liverpool then University of Central Lancashire, Preston) apparently reckoned Black males were specially masculinized by hormones (making their index fingers relatively short - a correlate of masculinization first noticed at the Maudsley by Glenn Wilson, taught by me in Edinburgh c. 1990, and pooh-poohed by one of my ex-students in the Grauniad, 31 iii 2000) and had been evolutionarily selected for short lives but merry ones in the disease-ridden conditions of Africa - the review by Simon Ings in Daily Telegraph, 19 iv, saying that "Manning's theory of how racial differences originated" was "a thrilling mix of medicine and anthropology."

In Times Higher, 17 iv, Chris McManus was sceptical; but he too resisted any urge to denounce neo-Rushtonian `racism.' {William McDougall would have been pleased with Manning's achievement, for McDougall had been a medic and anthropologist before becoming in 1920 the professor of psychology at Harvard - but whether Manning, `an affable retired [possibly into association with the University of Southampton] Geordie with an infectious giggle' (Times, 2 iii) had heard of McDougall or much of the rest of the London School remained unclear.}

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON?

Germany, where stories of `Hitler's women' unfailingly achieve top billing, was amused to hear of British F1 racing supremo and world motorsport president Max Mosley, the son of 1930s Heil-Hitlering fascist leader Sir Nicholas Mosley, being videotaped enjoying Nazi-themed S&M (till his b*tt*m bled) with no less than five delightful minxes dressed as prison camp guards and inmates (and addressed in German by Mosley, 67, as he spanked stripe-geared `convicts' and thrashed them with a leather strap) (News of the World, 30 iii*;Times, 31 iii; Guardian, 4 iv).

The allegations broke at the same time as Hitler - whose own sex life had often been said to involve perverted delectations with young girls -- was revealed to have kept in his private art gallery a lubricious painting of a scarcely pubescent lissome `Venus' by the German Reformation master Lucas Cranach (1472 - 1553) (Guardian, 31 iii: "Venus stands naked except for a heavy necklace and a wide-brimmed, feather-pommelled hat, with her arm raised to hold the branch of a tree whose fruits surely make her at the same time an image of Eve. She's thin, angular and tall, with slender thighs and small breasts - a very different and more edgily erotic vision of the nude than you ever see in Italian art, and a look it's tempting to call "modern.").

Perversity also reared its head among Britain's underclass as Craig Meehan, the 22-year-old stepfather of missing-for-a-month Dewsbury schoolgirl Shannon Matthews (found after a 5 million pound search by hundreds of police and 60 detectives), was arrested for questioning about paedophilic downloading (Guardian, 2 iv) - his loner uncle Donovan had previously been detained and charged with kidnapping the girl and imprisoning her in his flat just a mile from her home. Subsequently, Shannon's obese low-life multiple-benefit-drawing mother Karen was also arrested for having known all along that Donovan had intended to shelter Shannon (and perhaps Karen herself) from Craig Meehan (Sun, 8 iv).

* "..Mosley-the most powerful man in motor-racing-barks orders in German as he WHIPS two hookers dressed in striped uniforms reminiscent of AUSCHWITZ garb while girls in Nazi uniforms look on. At one point the wrinkled 67-year-old-who publicly likes to give the impression he has put his father's evil legacy behind him-yells "she needs more of ze punishment!" while brandishing a LEATHER STRAP over a brunette's naked bottom.

Then the lashes rain down as Mosley counts them out in German: "Eins! Zwei! Drei! Vier! Fnf! Sechs!" With each blow, the girl yelps in pain as grinning, grey-haired Mosley becomes clearly aroused. And after the beating, he makes her perform a sex act on him." The five-hour session also included Mosley (67 and married for 48 years, with two children) having his genitals inspected for lice and shaved - as happened to Jews in concentration camps. Mosley himself insisted no Nazi theme was involved in what had been a private commercial sex session; but one of the hookers told the News of the World (6 iv), "Max KNEW last week's orgy was to have a Nazi theme-he ORDERED it!"


OBAMA EXPOSED

An interesting post at American Renaissance (1 iv): "In all of the flap about "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright, everyone, or almost everyone, seems to be missing an equally pernicious influence on his worldview, Saul Alinsky. Alinsky is the cultural Marxist whose organization Obama joined when he launched his career as a "community activist" straight out of law school. Hilary Clinton, coincidentally, almost joined Alinsky's organization after graduating from Wellesley, but choose to attend Yale Law School instead. He was her idol in college. Alinsky, in good cultural Marxist fashion, encouraged his proteges to lie and otherwise decieve others to gain support and achieve the secret goals of the organization. Now you know why and how Obama learned to be so vague and non-commital on the campaign trail. But wait until he gets elected and the wrapping paper comes off!"

For more on the extremism of Obama's `United Church of Christ', which was determined to reject God's love itself unless it was committed to the overthrow of the "white enemy", see here.


IMMIGRATION GOOD IN PARTS

As Britain debated the House of Lords' finding that immigration had done nothing for average GDP (though it would have helped keep wages down in service industries), the Spectator sagely remarked (4 iv): "The truth is that Labour has relied upon immigrant labour to cover up both its failure to reform the welfare system and the scandal of educational failure in this country. Immigration raises many serious issues, but the most serious is that the British economy is so dependent upon help from foreign workers. No artificial `cap' is going to disguise the sobering fact that our homegrown labour force is not yet fit for purpose."

Still more to the point, the ever-sensible Telegraph columnist Jeff Randall (4 iv) joined his colleague Simon Heffer (3 iv) in deploring ZaNuLabour's "deliberate" creation of a "multi-cultural melting pot" to provide cheap labour and win votes; and he specially remarked how some immigrants were markedly more useful than others, with fully 71% of Indians being employed and only 8% needing `social housing' - compared with corresponding figures of 19% and 80% respectively for Somalis.

{My, if Jeff went on like this he would one day mention that Britain's problems with immigration came not from Australia and Poland but largely from Jamaica and the Pakistani countryside or, more crudely, from Blacks and Muslims!.}


RISIBLE `RACIST' RUBBISH

Allegations of `racism' seemed at last to have met their natural end as Black supermodel Naomi Campbell (once the ironic Page 3 Girl of TgF NewsLetters..) accused British Airways staff and London police of giving her a hard time at Heathrow simply because she was Black (Wimbledon Guardian, 5 iv; Courier Mail (Australia), 4 iv; Catwalk Queen, 7 iv; MelbourneHeraldSun, 7 iv; CinemaBlend, 7 iv).

Ms Campbell had checked in with overweight baggage and, faced with a choice of flying without her bags (which would be sent to her later) or taking a later flight, she decided to hurl foul-mouthed abuse at staff, spit at police and kick them, be dragged handcuffed from her plane and spend the next few hours at a police station and be summoned to reappear in May, perhaps to be charged with assault and receive a six-month jail sentence and a lifetime ban on flying with BA.

* Slap-happy Ms Campbell, 37 and possessed of a temper that had resulted in brushes with the law, had become famous for unsubstantiated complaints that the fashion industry did not give her enough work because she was Black.

Evidently sensing that this story of Britain's best-known Black woman making such childish complaints of `racism' was bad PR for the race relations industry and its assorted `anti-racists,' leading British `newspapers,' with their usual cowardice about criticizing or even mentioning Blacks behaving badly, gave the story a miss.

* BA, known as `Bloody Awful' for looting and losing passengers' luggage, was in this case not in any way responsible for Ms Campbell's problems.


POTTY PAKISTAN PIQUED

Revealing a greater level of Islamofascism than any other country, America's great `ally' in the Non-War on Terror turned out some 20K Muesli demonstrators in the streets of Karachi to rail against the Dutch film `Fitna' (see above) and burn the Dutch and Danish flags and an effigy of film-maker Wilders (Radio Netherlands, 6 iv; Canadian Press, 6 iv). Munawwar Hasan, a leader of the main Islamic party Jamat-e-Islami and a keynote speaker at the rally said that the West regarded such films as freedom of expression, but that Muslims saw them as "freedom of aggression."




SURVIVAL OF `FITNA'

As Muesli demonstrators in Indonesia called for Dutch law-maker and film-maker Geert Wilders to be shot dead, the film `Fitna'* re-appeared on its original LiveLeak website (the LiveLeak firm having by then taken measures to shield its British staff from death threats, including some from the far-right for the initial pulling of the film) and Germany's Der Spiegel published in its Opinion columns a condemnation of Western cowardice in doing so little to back "radical liberal" Wilders against the Islamists (1 iv). Die Welt allowed an Egyptian commentator (in Chicago) to say that those Muslims who issue death threats "are animals, too simple minded to see that their violent response gives credibility to the criticism posed by the movie in the first place. I've browsed fellow bloggers who call themselves moderate or even non-practising Muslims and found much angrier responses to the movie than I would have expected." For FrontPage (USA), the eminent Daniel Pipes concluded that Wilders "may represent the vanguard of a Christian/liberal reassertion of European values" (1 iv).

At the same time, RTT News (New York) reported (1 iv) that a `British citizen' who had converted to Islam and joined al-Qaeda (but later changed his mind) said that he had planned to assassinate King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, carry out terror attacks in London and blow up the U.S. Embassy in Qatar.

Confirming the thesis of `Fitna' that Islamists hope for the complete overthrow of the West, Hamas TV in the Gaza Strip showed a propaganda film in which Muesli children put President G.W. Bush to the sword and turned the White House into a mosque (IsraelNationalNews, 1 iv).

Within 2 days of `Fitna' appearing on the internet, two thirds of Dutch adults claimed to have seen the film, and only 25% thought it should not have been shown (JerusalemPost, 1 iv).

The Boston Globe's columnist Jeff Jacoby observed (2 iv): "The violence `Fitna' portrays is horribly real, and the fanatics who commit it are explicit in saying they do so as Muslims.Where is the Islamic world's outrage against that? When has Iran's foreign ministry ever excoriated the beheading of a hostage, or the poisonous sermon of a jihadist imam, as "heinous, blasphemous, and anti-Islamic?" How often has the Organization of the Islamic Conference thundered its disapproval of "honor killings" or Islamist anti-semitism? When Theo van Gogh was murdered in public, when the Taliban turned Afghanistan into a repressive terror state, when fatwas were issued for the murder of Danish cartoonists -- where was the chorus of Muslim anguish then?"

In Holland - already adapted to the deaths of Pym Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh and to the forced emigration of Ayaan Hirsi Ali - the international fuss over Wilders' film had little effect on party poll ratings, with liberals remaining content to `defend' free speech while deploring Wilders' use of it; but it did lead Iranian-born critic of Islam Ehsan Jami to withdraw his plan to publish a cartoon film called `The Life of Mahomet.' (This animation included a drawing depicting the prophet Mohammed with an erection. He is seen leading a 9 year old girl to a mosque bearing a swastika, in order to have sex with her. According to Jami, the cartoon represents the story of Mohammed who marries the ultra-young Aisha, as described in the Koran.) Jami had come to believe that the Dutch Government would be unlikely to be willing or able to protect him.

The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted by 32-0 a resolution urging all member countries to enact legislation outlawing "defamation of religion" - particularly Islam - and thus initiated a new worldwide restriction on freedom of speech (National Secular Society, 4 iv). Holland's `Iron Lady' Rita Verdonk defended Wilders and set up a new movement to defend Dutch liberties, `Proud of the Netherlands' (Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 4 iv).

* It is fantastic, a chilling clarion call to rip the pages of hate from the Koran which make it comparable to Hitler's Mein Kampf. The opening scenes showed a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 besides graphic images from the bomb attacks on London in July 2005 and Madrid in March 2004. Pictures of a woman being stoned, scenes from a beheading and images of the Dutch director Theo van Gogh, who was murdered by a radical Islamist in 2004, were also included. There were also pictures appearing to show Muslim demonstrators holding up placards saying "God bless Hitler" and "Freedom go to hell." Additionally, the film showed a woman being stoned and a 3«-year-old girl in a headscarf making derogatory comments taken from the Koran about Jews ("pigs," "apes") as well as graphs showing how the number of Muslims in the Netherlands and Europe had grown.

GET YOUR STAB VEST ON! - NULABOUR

There was national hilarity in Britain as, after a decade of the Government-promised policy of `Tough on crime; tough on the causes of crime,' Labour Deputy Leader Harriet Harman was detected wearing body armour for a daylight walkabout in her own constituency of Peckham, south-east London, even though she was escorted by policemen (Daily Telegraph, 1 iv 2008; Independent, 1 iv.).

Privately-educated Harperson (so-called for her feminazism) claimed she had only donned the Kevlar bullet-proof vest as `a courtesy' to police who had offered it -- but promptly made matters worse by comparing her wearing the vest to wearing a hard hat while visiting a building site or a hair net in a meat factory. Local police were reported to have been "flabbergasted" that she accepted an invitation to wear the protective stab-proof vest. One said: "Senior politicians who have visited Peckham in the past have never worn one."

Harperson had apparently forgotten that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had sparked controversy in March by suggesting she would not feel safe walking the streets of `deprived' areas of London at night. Aides of Ms Smith subsequently compounded her error by saying she had bought a kebab in Peckham, only for it to emerge that she had been accompanied by a Special Branch protection officer to purchase the takeaway.

In truth, Labour's pandering to the Black `community' and the McPherson Report-mandated suspension of `stop-and-search' (for guns, knives, drugs, loot) had made south-east London one of the unsafest places on earth - where early-released Muesli rocket-making terrorists were allowed to roam unsupervised (Sun, 1 iv). Violent crime in the borough of Southwark, which included Peckham, had risen 6.9 per cent in the previous year; but only the Grauniad's left-loyalist hack Michael White tried to excuse Harperson's gaffe (1 iv).


SURVIVAL OF `FITNA'

As Muesli demonstrators in Indonesia called for Dutch law-maker and film-maker Geert Wilders to be shot dead, the film `Fitna'* re-appeared on its original LiveLeak website (the LiveLeak firm having by then taken measures to shield its British staff from death threats) and Germany's Der Spiegel published in its Opinion columns a condemnation of Western cowardice in doing so little to back "radical liberal" Wilders against the Islamists (1 iv).

There were also pictures appearing to show Muslim demonstrators holding up placards saying "God bless Hitler" and "Freedom go to hell." Additionally, the film showed a young girl in a headscarf making derogatory comments about Jews as well as graphs showing how the number of Muslims in the Netherlands and Europe had grown.


OBAMA REFUTED

As the American mulatto Presidential Election Wunderkind, Borat Insane Osama, totally failed to explain why it was not just US Blecks but Blecks all over the world who were sufferin' - not least in their self-run hell-holes of Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Jamaica - America's brave Pat Buchanan at least beat cowardly journalists to the post by pointing out that US Bleck men had the greatest time on earth (among Blecks), being not only more prosperous, on welfare + crime, but also able to rape White women (100 times more frequently than Whites raped Blacks) while disposing of their own Black women into the trash can, leaving 70% of Black kids fatherless (Human Events, 21 iii).

A fine psychological analysis of Obamamania was provided by the Wall Street Journal's Shelby Steele (18 xii), saying that Obama's lengthily cultivated Blackness and anti-Americanism allowed him to "bargain" with pathetic `guilty' Whites not to mention their historic `racism' so long as they salved their wretched consciences by voting for him.

"[Obama's longstanding self-chosen pastor for him and his family,] the Reverend Wright believes that AIDs was created by the government of the United States -- and not as a cure for the common cold that went tragically awry and had to be covered up by Karl Rove, but for the explicit purpose of killing millions of its own citizens. .. You can understand why Obama is so anxious to meet with President Ahmadinejad, a man who denies the last Holocaust even as he plans the next one. Such a summit would be easy listening after the more robust sermons of Jeremiah Wright." - Mark Steyn, 22 iii, National Review.


CHAPS LIKE CUTIES! - PSYCHOBABBLER

After a century of the West's useless psychologists failing to find anything about how to have a happy marriage (except for the pair to be of similar intelligence and for the man to be lower in neuroticism - both genetic traits that most psychologists refuse to mention) psychologists of Tennessee reported (from a study of 82 newlywed pairs) more contentment when the woman was rated more physically attractive than the man (Daily Mail, 23 iii) - presumably reflecting the folklore (equally ignored by tenured state-funded psycholoshites) that men are more interested in pulchritudinousness and women more interested in pocket-books.


AMIS TAKES ON Grauniad

After a year of sparring with leftists (such as literati Prof. Terry Eagleton) over the merits of Islam, jihadism and the acceptability of collective punishment for Mueslis after acts of terror (New York Times, 9 iii), novelist Martin Amis (who insisted he deplored multiculturalism, not multiracialism) cast his net more widely, telling the Daily Telegraph (25 iii): "The Guardian has a tradition of multicultural piety towards every ethnic group other than ours, the United States or Israel's" [- believing] "that no one with dark skin is capable of doing any harm -- and if they do, it's our fault." {Welcome to the 1980's, Martin!}


`NO TO `BREED FOR GREED'' COUNCILLOR GOES, ETC.

During discussion of a low-life multi-sprogged welfare-dependent British family which had come to prominence after a daughter ran away (yielding a multi-million pound police search lasting a month), John Ward, 58, a Conservative on Medway Council, Kent, was brave enough to suggest on his personal website that, after producing a second child on welfare, continuance of state handouts to such "professional spongers" should depend on sterilization - and was promptly harried into resigning as a councillor (not least by Daft Dave and the Diddlies of Conservative Central Office) (Daily Mail, 25 iii).

At least he did not go quietly, telling the censorious Labour-backing high-peecee tabloid Daily Mirror (26 iii), "I'm elated that I don't have to deal with all the bureaucracy any more - it was like living in a dictatorship like the USSR." And Kent Online reported (26 iii) that 80% of its near-300 correspondents agreed with John Ward.

On North Tyneside Council, senior Conservative member Hugh Jackson, a schoolteacher, mentioned the possible merits of euthanasia for disabled children left in expensive council care by parents who could not cope - and, though he said he'd only been joking, found himself condemned for his impiety by the Daily Mirror (27 ii) and suspended by his fellow `Conservatives.' He had been responding to information that 43 youngsters in North Tyneside were cared for in other local authority areas, putting a financial strain on the council to the tune of no less than œ3.4M per year.

In leafy Dunblane (famed in 1997 for a loner refused a gun licence killing a class of schoolchildren), a leading minister of the Church of Scotland, Maxwell Craig, an Extra Chaplain to the Queen in Scotland and past convener of the Church of Scotland's Church and Nation Committee, wrote in a local newspaper that he favoured offering euthanasia to people over 75 so that more state money could be spent on the young - predictably outraging Age Concern and kindred quangos (Daily Record, 27 iii).

The 76-year-old urged: "Three thousand years ago, the psalmist wrote, 'The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow'. Why should we want to cling on and on? Death is coming; it is natural and expected. We have no reason to fear it." The Chaplain's remarks came after revered MSP, ScotNat Margo Macdonald had told the Scottish Parliament she was suffering from Parkinson's Disease and wished the right to seek physician-assisted euthanasia (Glasgow Herald, 28 iii).


`CROMWELL' TO REPLACE CAMERON? - SPECCIE

Discombobulated Labourite David Selbourne was given house room at the Speccie (27 iii) to say that Britain needed a new authoritarian dictator; but Selbourne rather forgot that

1. Successful dictators need to back someone - in Cromwell's case, Protestant republicans.
2. Successful dictators need to ensure a succession - in Cromwell's case his son, who lasted only two years.
3. Successful dictators need a legacy - whereas Cromwell was disinterred, hanged and dismembered after the 1660 Restoration.

One could see a successful modern British dictator backing the young to get drugs, sex, education, housing, work and free speech - but there was no promise of this in Selbourne's article, which - while mildly critical of Mueslis -- contained not a single mention of the words `race' or `immigration.' Little hope for the betrayed from Selbourne, then - let alone punishment of the betrayers of FREEDOM and FAMILY, viz. Britain's treacherous and anti-psychology political class (not least the Tories who had so signally mimicked Globalization + PeeCee and failed to provide English National Liberalism)!


CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS RE-IGNITES

`Fitna' (means Conspiracy), the graphic anti-jihadist 17-minute documentary film, by devout young blond Dutch Catholic and leader of Holland's Freedom Party (having since 2007 nine of the 150 contestable seats in the Dutch Parliament), Geert Wilders MP, 44, appeared on the internet for a day (till withdrawn -- after condemnation as "hate speech" and "incitement to violence" from the quailing dhimmitudinous United Nations and European Union -- by British distributor LiveLeak after threats of violence to their staff despite appeals for calm by Muslim leaders). Highlighting Muesli terrorism, imams' anti-Jewish bombast and threats to make the previous Holocaust seem tame, it received a generally welcoming reception from correspondents at American Renaissance (27 iii) - though some observed Mohammedanism was not much of a problem except when combined with negritude and low IQ and thought Wilders played down the racial threat to Western countries.

Fortunately, the one day of appearance was enough to get sizeable snippets shown and discussed on San Francisco-based YouTube (AFP, 28 iii). The text was made up entirely of statements from Muslim writings and Muslim leaders, and these statements were juxtaposed with pictures of Muslim-jihadist atrocities or proposed atrocities. In Pakistan, Muesloons demanded the Government sever ties with the Netherlands, and several Muslim nations such as US `ally' Pakistan, Malaysia, Egypt and Iran condemned `Fitna'; but by then the film had already been downloaded one million times and could still be seen after a fashion here and here - including a recommendation in the Surah (4: 7) to give unbelievers a "bloodbath."

Support for Wilders could be shown by backing `Stop the Islamisation of Europe' - a lively Dutch movement evidently enjoying some Jewish favour, healthily opposing Kosovo independence and having the slogan "Racism is the lowest form of human stupidity, but Islamophobia is the height of common sense." But outspeakers were reminded of the dangers they faced in the `globalized' multiculti West as the leading Dutch employers' organization said it would sue Geert Wilders for any loss of business due to his film.

In keeping with Wilders' belief in a Judeo-Christian partnership in the face of "the threat of Islam," the 17-minute film showed Muesli clerics calling to behead Jews, Koran passages equating Jews to "apes and swines" and photos of demonstrators promising "another Holocaust" and praising Adolf Hitler. In a statement following the film's online release, the still-multiculti-subscribing pious Dutch Board of Jews (probably also fearing Muslim reprisals) said that Wilders was guilty of serious [over-] generalizations and was "counterproductive"; but IsraelEnews columnist Tamar Jonah was more robust (30 iii). In the United States, Bill Keller, one of the world's leading internet evangelists and the founder of LivePrayer.com, received death threats for posting the movie on his website.


SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL BIODIVERSITY/MULTICULTURALISM REVEALED

"[In the ten years since the Good Friday power-sharing agreement brought `peace' to Northern Ireland,] so-called "peace-lines," 12ft walls, have spread through Belfast like fissures in a cracked plate. Ten years ago there were 18 of them: now there are 40, in all, 13 miles long, keeping Catholic and Protestant not merely physically apart, but blissfully invisible to one another."

Kevin MYERS, 2008, Sunday Telegraph, 30 iii, `Still staring into the moral abyss.'


TORYGRAPH READERS ALLOWED OUT OF CLOSET

As relatively-right-wing Telegraph columnist and Home Affairs Editor produced a fine blast saying that even a House of Lords committee would soon declare immigration of to have been of no net economic benefit to Britain - with the economic, social and cultural costs yet to come - readers responded magnificently to this unusual opportunity, sending a thousand largely sympathetic emails in just twelve hours (31 iii).

I joined in with: "Congratulations to the Telegraph for letting Philip Johnston and readers address immigration! Perhaps scarcely another decade will pass before it allows proper disussion of race and low IQ which -- unlike immigration and Islamism themselves -- are the real problem."

I may have helped elicit a second mention of IQ from one `Beowulf' some 3 hours later: "Importing vast numbers of people whether as economic migrants or asylum seekers from countries where the average IQ is well below that of Northern European indigenous populations is creating in reverse the situation that occurred when Westerners emigrated to lands with previously primitive cultures: the inability of the indigenous peoples to adapt followed by failure and recrimination. Nobody could possibly believe that people who are unable to create significant added value in their own countries would perform any different here. What is happening and has happened is quite clearly evidence of criminal intent by politicians and particularly their backers whose strings attached to contributions are simply treasonous since there has been a clear attempt to wreck this country as a single culture based on the indigenous British people."

WHITE `LIBERAL'-IMPOSED GUILT ANALYSED

A fine dissection of the `liberal' Westerrn world's adoption of hypocritical power-hungry egalitarian religiosity was provided by Luke O'Farrell at http://www.heretical.com/ofarrell/godgould.html.


EAST - WEST DIFFERENCES IN PERCEPTION

Psychological Science reported perceptual differences between Europeans and East Asians, with the former found by M.I.T. researchers to be more likely to focus on and report correctly the features of central individual components of pictures (e.g. a parked car) and the latter more likely to process the context or background (e.g. a building behind the car) (i).


NATIONAL DEATH SERVICE

As homosexual nurse Colin Norris was caged for bumping off old ladies with massive insulin injections, Lord Mancroft's complaints about the socialist NHS continued to receive a steady trickle of support in the public prints despite lazy newsies not bothering to go to Bath to take a look for themselves. Lord Mancroft himself took up cudgels with Daft Dave, saying (Daily Mail, 5 iii): "Apparently, you are not allowed to criticise nurses, in the same way that for years you weren't allowed to mention immigration."


P.M. SLAPS DOWN LOOPY PEECEE MINISTER

Recalling his official commitment to `British vaarrlues' (made to distract attention from the Government's top members distinctively under-representing the English), Prime Minister Gordon Brown moved promptly to dissociate himself from ultra-left-loony remarks by his bungling Maoist `arts minister,' Barking Margaret Hodge, a Jewess, to the effect that the BBC's summer Promenade concerts did not appeal sufficiently to ethnic minorities and thus exhibited `the wrong kind of Britishness' (Sun, 5 iii).


HAPPINESS HERITABLE

Happiness (linked to non-neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness [non-impulsiveness]) proved to be strongly heritable in new work on 973 twin pairs on the records of Queensland Medical Institute (Daily Telegraph, 5 iii; Scotsman, 5 iii). The phenomenon itself was unremarkable for a strong hý for both Extraversion and Neuroticism (and even possibly Conscientiousness [Cattell's `Q3' factor]) had been established by the 1960s (Eysenck & Prell, J.Mental Science, 1951; Cattell & Beloff, J. Consulting Psychol., 1953; Shields, Monozygotic Twins, O.U.P., 1962); but a surprise was that the new report (in Psychological Science) came from researchers (led by Alex Weiss, whose sister had once been married to Phil Rushton) in Edinburgh University's Psychology Department - where the study of inheritance of personality was evidently allowed to continue so long as no mention was made of race..


LORD BATTLES ON TO EXPOSE SOCIALIST `ANGELS'

Embattled Lord Mancroft {see above} continued to do his duty to expose the ghastly treatment he had received (while suffering gastroenteritis) at the hands of Britain's nurses (whether Black, lesbian or just comprehensive-schooled remained unclear) - saying he would meet with the overpaid managers of Bath's Royal United Hospital to discuss that hospital's filthy and patient-disrespectful practices (Bath Chronicle, 6 iii). NuLabour Health Minister Ben Bradshaw accused Lord Mancroft of discourtesy to nurses in complaining publicly as he had (Nursing Times, 7 iii). - And he was soon vindicated as Bath's `grubby' Royal United Hospital of which he had complained was forced to close wards as it was hit by its third outbreak of Norovirus disease (which causes diarrhoea and vomiting) in five months (Daily Mail, 11 iii).

In the Daily Telegraph (14 iii), columnist Lucy Deedes (niece of the late-in-the-day-babe-bagging Bill Deedes) helpfully threw in that her mother had seen a hospital nurse more interested in adjusting her hair and make-up via a mirror than in attending to her patient; and Lucy added, "I may be biased, because Lord Mancroft is a friend, but it seems to me that he raised the matter of hospital care in the perfectly proper forum of the House of Lords. The torrent of indignation that rained down on him - not least from David Cameron, who flung himself on the bandwagon before the cock crowed - was presumably to punish him for being an articulate and elegant hunting peer."


VANHANEN SON IN BABE-BAGGING KISS-AND-TELL HASSLE

The Prime Minister of Finland, Matti Vanhanen (the son of race realist Tatu Vanhanen, co-author with Richard Lynn of IQ and the Wealth of Nations), lost a Helsinki privacy suit against the publisher of a former mistress of his, a divorced mother of three who had claimed MV seduced her with baked potatoes and dumped her in 2006 via a text message (Daily Telegraph, 6 iii). Divorced father of two, MV, 52, had had a 9-month fling with Susan Ruusanen, 36, in which, according to her book The Prime Minister's Bird, MV supposedly liked to have a sauna before sex and beef and baked potatoes afterwards; he had once pleased her by saying she tasted better than a baked potato.

MV said he would appeal the Helsinki decision, aiming to defend the privacy of future Finnish prime ministers. Ruusanen (which means `Sleeping Beauty') claimed to have been manipulated into undue sensationalism by her publisher. The book claimed MV to be such a passionate kisser that car windows steamed up; and the pair supposedly had wild sex on several items of prime-ministerial furniture. MV, a divorced father of two, was hailed as Finland's sexiest man by French President Jacques Chirac in 2006. The publication of the book during the Finnish 2006 election coincided with a rise in MV's poll ratings. Finns were equally divided as to whether MV should have pursued the publisher.


BOOST FOR BORIS

Conservative intellectual blond Boris Johnson moved ahead of `Red' Ken Livingstone polls in London re who would make the best Mayor for the city as Livingstone lost the services of his half-Black single-mother-reared `race advisor' who had been suspended over allegations of channelling 345M pounds to Ken's ethnic minority cronies and then had to resign as saucy emails were discovered from him to a married Indian woman (expressing devotion to Mrs Karen Chouhan's `bum, boobs and brain'). Even the New Statesman's political editor, Martin Bright, declared Livingstone as "not fit to be mayor."


LONDON SCHOOL FORESIGHT

In order to get more disadvantaged children into `gifted' classes, the city of Denver announced that a pupil's being in receipt of free school meals would count towards being classified as gifted (Denver Post, 4 iii) - this proposal resembling one put forward in jest by me in Personality & Individual Differences 27, 805-808 (1999): "Another option [for dedicated opponents of the g factor] would be to use a formula that simply divided MA by the average income of testees and their older first-degree relatives: the resulting Money-free IQ (M-fIQ) would show how well the child did at mental tests once allowance was made for its economic background."

{In Britain, Government help for the disadvantaged was extended to provide universities with 1K pounds for each poorly qualified student they admitted (1M pounds in toto) - presuming this sum would allow remedial education to make up for years of egalitarian comprehensive miseducation (Daily Mail, 6 iii). The aim was to swamp the universities with intellectually mediocre students by 2010 so as to fulfil socialist fantasies. }


INTELLIGENCE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EDUCATION

The work of Lynn & Vanhanen was replicated (without admission) by Eric Hanushek et al. (Education Next, Spring), finding that "cognitive skills" (in maths and science) were far more predictive of national levels of economic attainment than were educational inputs.


DYSGENOPHILIA ON DISPLAY

After twenty years of peecee Britain's deaf being allowed to regard themselves as a sainted minority group needing 100% community support, a newly infertile deaf father* who wished to have a second deaf child by his equally stone-deaf wife, regaled the doting socialoid media with his anger that a clause in new British fertility legislation would make it illegal to use embryos with a genetic abnormality in IVF treatment when ones without the same defect were available. Yes, the monstrous pair actually wanted another deaf child! At least the sometimes wet columnists Andrew O'Hagan and Daniel Finkelstein were prepared to object (Daily Telegraph, 11 ii; Times, 11 ii).

RACE-REALIST PHILOSOPHER SUPPORTED

After distinguished philosopher Michael Levin (City College of New York) was defended in the Observer (New York, 12 iii 2008) by philosophy professor Stephen Kershnar (State University of New York at Fredonia) (in October, 2007, Levin's attempt to explain his race realism had been protested and disrupted at State University of New York at Buffalo), I wrote to the Observer's editor as follows.

Dear Sir,
This is just to say I fully support Stephen Kershnar's defence of the race-realistic academic Michael Levin in your columns (`Political correctness at UB,' March 12th) and his proposal that a proper debate be organized between Levin and critics at SUNY Buffalo. Michael Levin (whom I once met in NY) is a distinguished philosopher who has taken the trouble to master the differential psychology of intelligence; and he has shown admirable scholarship, sense and style in addressing the taboo subject of race and IQ.

At a time when Harvard's Steven Pinker has backed the importance of genetic differences in human psychology and in particular lent his enormous authority to the claim (from researchers at Utah University) that Ashkenazi Jews are 15 IQ points ahead of Europeans for genetic reasons (a recessive gene which also gives them a tendency to Tay-Sachs Disease), it is time for Western universities to abandon their `politically correct' suppression of talk about inherited racial differences rather than to step it up. -- Worried `liberals' in universities should not think that to acknowledge deep-seated racial differences is somehow classically `fascist' or insufficiently progressive, for Lenin himself observed that "An intelligent Russian is almost always a Jew or someone with Jewish blood in h
