Chris Brand has been posting up a storm lately, so I have transferred his latest posts here for convenience:

ANTI-IQ COMMIE PALEOBABBLER GOULD TAKES A KNOCK

The late Stephen Jay Gould's last book, The Hedgehog, the Fox and the Magister's Pox, did not cut much ice with Nobelist reviewer Philip W. Anderson (Times Higher, 15 viii 2003):

"Gould's elaborate style and wide erudition, however casually organized, appeal to many. He offers a plethorora of intriguing anecdotes from the early history of science, but the sum does not amount to an argument focused on the issues he raises."

BBC TERROR

For the Beeb as the new Big Brother, see my contribution to the Times Higher Common Room, 19 viii "Should the BBC continue to be funded by licence?"

LABOUR PARTY PREPARES FOR RETURN OF RACE REALISM?

I have recently visited the websites of some fifty Labour Mps (made possible via http://www.tom-watson.co.uk/labour_mps_online.html). I was astonished to find that very few showed any anti-racist commitment (the most notable "anti-racists" were Michael Clapham, Jean Corston and Paul Flynn). Several Mps were positively expressing reservations about minorities/diversity/multiculturalism etc. (notably Adrian Bailey, Russell Brown, Chris Bryant and Julia Drown). But the vast majority gave racial issues a complete miss -- just as if they knew the tide was going to turn at some point and didn't want to be hoist with their own petards.

GET YOUR GAY QUOTAS UP NOW!

The UK Government busybody "Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service" told employers they would not be able to defend against accusations of homophobism by saying they just did not know how many homosexuals they were employing (Independent, 19 viii).

Big firms promptly began seeking the advice of the homosexualist pressure group Stonewall, for if they conduct anonymous surveys Stonewall might still argue that many gays had feared to "out" themselves in the workplace unless assured of having their asses licked.

CHEATING PSEUDO-IMMIGRANTS....

were exposed by the News of the World (17 viii) as defrauding the UK's National Health Service of £2billion annually;and the Daily Mail and Daily Express exposed the fact that asylum seekers (allowed in by British generosity) could purchase themselves a full-blown UK identity, including utility bills, for £1,300. The Times came out in favour of health checks for African arrivals.

PAEDOHYSTERICAL PROSECUTOR

After demonizing Detective Constable Brian Stevens for a year, the Crown Prosecution Service (a tool of feminazies and gypsies -- as in the cases against TV "rapist" host John Leslie and property-defending Norfolk farmer Tony Martin) dropped all charges of indecent assault, paedophilic downloadings etc., admitting that, apart from its own investigative mistakes, the case against Stevens had been entirely speculative.

In Scotland, a 42-year minister of the Church of Scotland (married, with three children) was cleared by a church tribunal of having groped a 60-year-old woman whom he was counselling.

IMMIGRATION REALISM

Despite years of Government and kindred elite propaganda favouring "diversity"/multiculturalism, a YouGov poll for the Sun found dullard immigration to be the top concern of Britons (Daily Telegraph, 19 viii). Asked to list the most important political issues facing Britain, 39 per cent identified immigration and asylum, while 32 per cent cited law and order, nine per cent terrorism and six per cent focused on the euro. The Government announced it would set up an inquiry into the consequences of mass immigration – the first such inquiry to be held into the years of treachery by British politicians, academics and employers. Non-EU immigration was running at around a quarter of a million a year; and 86% of Brits wanted health checks on immigrants (with only 7% against).

------------------------------------

MAINLAND CHINA....

announced it would relax its marital restrictions requiring the agreement of a couple's employers and a check to ensure the prospective partners are free of infectious diseases; but it said it would maintain the prohibition on either partner having any mental problems (Daily Telegraph, 21 viii).

---------------------------------------

THE INTELLECTUAL MEDIOCRITY OF WOMEN....

was explained for Times readers (22 viii) by Sean Thomas (who had written sympathetically about the London School in the Spectator, 24 v). Thomas noted that IQs of 170 and over are achieved thirteen times more commonly by males; whereas among children having "severe special needs" 72% are boys.

Discussing the idea of Richard Lynn that adult may even be a little brighter on average than females, Thomas concluded: "what we can expect for the future of Britain is this: a society dominated by a male elite above a cadre of diligent and bright but not superbright women, with a bottom layer, an underclass, of considerably more stupid men."

OZ RALLIES TO RACE REALIST

Australians backed jailed "One Nation" leader Pauline Hanson, calling her their "Joan of Arc" as some 80% of calls to radio stations ran in her favour (Times, 22 viii). Hanson had been wickedly jailed for three years for minor "electoral fraud" -- which had passed quite unnoticed for several years: she had declared she had 500 party members (in order to get a state grant for her party) when in fact she should have said "supporters", since many of the members had paid her no money. Even some top members of the Australian Labour Party expressed surprise at the swingeing sentence awarded her (and also her deputy leader).

Chris Brand has not put up much lately so I thought I might post it all here:

WHITER BLACKS ARE BRIGHTER

According to Emeritus Professor Richard Lynn’s homepage, skin color and intelligence have been shown to be linked in African Americans (LYNN, 2002, Population and Environment 23, 365-375). Lynn’s paper apparently presented new evidence showing conclusively for the first time that lighter skinned Blacks have higher IQs than darker skinned Blacks. This supports the theory that the proportion of white ancestry is a determinant of the intelligence of African Americans. (Older studies found weaker results, perhaps because the whiter Blacks of the past were likely to have been the product of unions involving Southern slavers or their farmhands -- a rural and thus relatively low-IQ group.)


PEECEE SPEECH? NO BLOODY WAY, SAY AUSSIES!

More than two-thirds of Australians are fed up with political correctness. A survey of 1200 people by research company The Truth Report found more than 70% of men and 65% of women are tired having to watch what they say. Those aged 18 to 24 and over 50 were most likely to be annoyed.


GERMAINE GREER COMES OUT

Germaine Greer’s forthcoming glossy book, The Boy, full of pictures (more) of “ravishing” barely legal boys (“himbos”) with hairless chests, wide-apart legs and slim waists, is an “art book”. Greer, 64, told the Sydney Morning Herald. She wouldn't say exactly how young the “boys” were in her book but cheerily admitted the book would “get me into a lot of trouble” and expected she will be called a paedophile. “I know that the only people who are supposed to like looking at pictures of boys are a subgroup of gay men”, she wrote last year in London's Daily Telegraph. “Well, I'd like to reclaim for women the right to appreciate the short-lived beauty of boys, real boys, not simpering 30-year-olds with shaved chests”.

Asked on Canadian television what attracted her to “boys” rather than men, she said: “Sperm that runs like tap water will do.” {At the same time, the Westminster Parliament prepared for the second reading of a paedohysterical bill which would make even consensual kissing between under-16s illegal.} {Meanwhile the young “beach boys” of Jamaica were doing a roaring trade supplying “big bamboo” to lustful 40+-year-old women from the USA and Canada. Apparently the women do not think of themselves as using prostitutes because they hold to the racial theory that Black boys are bursting for it.}


MALE HORMONES MAKE FOR CREATIVITY

Confirmation came for Hans Eysenck’s 1995 book Genius which claimed creative achievement to be linked to Psychoticism and testosterone. Work in New Zealand on 280 scientists found that most of their best work had been done by age 35 and that within five years of making their nuptial vows, after which testosterone levels settle down, nearly a quarter of married scientists had made their last significant contribution to history's hall of fame.
