The latest on Prof Fraser:

African students at Sydney University of Technology were said to be planning mass disruption of Professor Fraser’s classes (The Australian, 29 vii). After a few days’ consideration of Macquarie University’s offer of (effectively) a dishonourable discharge, Professor Fraser – by then suspended from teaching duties by fat and faded frump Vice-Chancellor ‘Di’ Yerbury (Sydney Morning Herald, 29 vii) --, announced (29 vii) his decision to remain in post – thus forcing the University into an expensive and risky trial if they were indeed determined to be rid of him. In a surprise move, the University then went back on its sacking threat, saying it would stand by academic free speech (29 vii) – thus leaving Professor Fraser in the same position as I was by the end of July, 1996, after three months battling with ‘antiracists’: at Edinburgh University: on full pay and without the burden of teaching but with a by-then partially co-operative Edinburgh LUniversity facing the wrath of irate lefties from all over the country (to which it finally gave in and decided on a top-secret trial and sacking of me in 1997). {Since Professor Fraser apparently has public supporters, the battle in Sydney can be expected to be much livelier, presumably resulting in a more rapid capitulation by Macquarie.}

ACADEMIC FIGHTS FOR RACE REALISM AND FREE SPEECH

(Updated post)

At Australia's Macquarie University, law professor Andrew Fraser fell out with his bosses and faced the sack for talking of `Australia's African problem' resulting from Black immigrants having too little intelligence and too much testosterone, and of its `Asian problem' that Asians would soon be providing Australia's ‚lite. Defiant Professor Fraser had written for Occidental Quarterly and given unofficicial advice to Australia's Patriotic Youth League. 85% of 3,500 phone-in callers to the Australian radio programme, `A Current Affair,' said they agreed with Professor Fraser. The LUniversity said it wanted Professor Fraser to bring forward his retirement (due in 2006) so as not to prejudice the LUniversity's "business interests" in collecting na‹ve idealistic `anti-racist' students from as many countries as possible. Professor Robert Manne, from Victoria's LaTrobe University, said he was very disappointed to hear that Macquarie University had decided not to stand by Mr Fraser. "I think in general universities should be committed to free speech and it's an extremely serious matter to drive someone out of the university, effectively if that's what's happening," Professor Manne said. Other Macquarie academics also defended Professor Fraser, the branch secretary of Australia's National Tertiary Education Union asserting his right to free speech.

The White Pride Coalition group in the Queensland town of Toowoomba, home to 750 Sudanese refugees, seemed determined to support Professor Fraser. Asked whether he would like to recant on his comments (which included complaining of a coming Chinese elite in Australia), Professor Fraser replied "Absolutely not!" His right to free speech was further defended by Deakin University's James McConvill (27 vii) - though with a health warning added that his views did not `represent' those of Deakin.


SOCIAL WORKER TRAITORS

As a final boot in the rear for Britain's ludicrous `welfare' system, the Sun newspaper discovered (26 vii) that two of London's Black Islamofascist bombers had been living for years at the expense of the British taxpayer - in my home suburb of Southgate, North London, once renowned for its middle-class tranquillity but coming to national prominence in 1997 as Kurds and Iraqis chased each other through the streets till one of them dropped dead in a pool of his own blood outside Southgate's police station, just 30 seconds walk away from Southgate's famous art-deco Tube station.


GOVERNMENT ADMITS NEED FOR STREAMING IN SCHOOLS

The UK Government's new Education Secretary, Ruth Kelly (from the Queen's College, Oxford), made the amazing admission that years of billion-pound expenditures to improve the educational performance of weaker pupils had been a complete failure. "We have not managed to narrow the gap between the attainment of children from lower- and higher-income families," she said, remarking that this was "the kind of thing you can only really say shortly after an election." Her plan for the future was to separate children of different levels for tuition in different classes - as proposed in Chapter 4 of The g Factor, 1996.. In another remarkable climbdown, Kelly announced she would let school class sizes rise to 60 - despite Labour's election pledges to reduce them to a maximum of 25.

{Meantime, from elsewhere in Britain's addle-headed school system came a plea that, when marking schoolwork, the term FAIL should be replaced by DEFERRED SUCCESS - suggested by a fat frump belonging to the `Professional Association of Teachers.'}


OZ LEFTIES GIVEN THE `PROOF' THEY NEED

In response to criticism of Macquarie professor Andrew Fraser, doubtless busy fighting for his academic life (as above), I sent the following reply to Australia's `National Forum':

I see 'Robert' asking for 'proofs' of the different national IQs alluded to by Macquarie's Professor Andrew Fraser. I would refer him to R. Lynn & T. Vanhanen [the father of the present Prime Minister of Finland], 2002, IQ and the Wealth of Nations, Praeger. -- For a summary, see here; or for a fuller review see here. It is amusing that 'anti-racists' don't seem to read anything these days, even though my own explanation of IQ and its genetic basis has been freely available for some years here.

SPAIN

Spain's Prime Minister till 2004 (when voted out after the Mosies' bombing of Madrid), Jos‚ Maria Azn r, declared multiculturalism was finished and that Mosies would have to salute the flag and sing the national anthem if they wished to stay in Western countries (Spectator, 15 vii).


SUN COMES ROUND

Like this Diary (January, 2005), the Sun newspaper began calling for Britain to opt out of the European Convention on Human Rights - so as to be able to deport Muslim ravers living here on benefits and blaming Britain for the London 7/7 bombs that killed 56 (20 vii). The newspaper also joined the Board of Deputies of British Jews (now coming round to oppose multiculturalism after a generation of promoting it) and Tory Anne Widdecombe and others in calling for the resignation of London's loopy-lefty Mayor, Ken Livingslime, who had denied that terror had any connection with Islam (or even with any `ideology' or `perversion of Islam'). A young Muslim M.P. joined in, blaming extremism on the `negligent' elderly Muslies who had allowed some 2000 British mosques to become infected with fanaticism spread by foreign mullahs (Sun, 20 vii).


SPECCIE BACKS LIBERALISM

Unlike the brain-dead Conservative Party, always inclined to agree with Government's latest illiberal proposals to restrict free speech, the Speccie robustly asserted the need to let Muslim fanatics condemn themselves out of their own mouths (and thus lead Britain's bumbling peecee Bobbies - unable to tell a Brasilian from an Arab thanks to a decade of training in ignoracism -- to the mullahs' supporters) (22 vii).

U.K. AUTHORITIES IN DENIAL (UPDATE)

As Britain's ostrich-like peecee police and media announced, almost as if with pride, that the London bombers -- discovered to have a hidey-hole in Leeds and Luton -- were "home-grown," "British born" and "from Yorkshire," it took American publications to dwell rather more on the facts that Leeds was 15% Muslim and had an Arab community (resulting in signs on public buildings appearing in Arabic as well as English) and that nearby Bradford even sported a Pakistani "consulate" (Wvec.com, 12 vii, 18:30p.m.; CBS2chicago.com, 12 vii) and that most if not all of the bombers were Pakistani (SignonSanDiego, 12 vii, according to a Leeds councillor).

The first serious Mandarinated glimpse of the truth from a British source came [after some sixteen hours of police responding to a call from a bomber' s mother registering him as a 'missing person' and leading police to scour CCTV pronto (the high-expense space-suited DNA searches were useless) leading to identification of the bombers] when ITV's 22:30 news announced that some of the bombers had spent months 'training' in Afghanistan and Pakistan (their absences from Leeds and Luton provoking not the slightest curiosity in their Muslim friends); and when Britoid Muslims told ITV interviewers that the bombers were their own worst nightmare come true' - presumably because the Muslims, if not the media, believed the bombers to be Islamonuts. {Some 26 hours after the police swept into Leeds, BBC Radio 4 UK deigned to concede (13 vii, 08:30) that all four (highly) suspected bombers were "of Pakistani descent" - this was ten hours after I wrote to the Beeb to reprove their laughable political correctness in talking of 'British youths from Yorkshire'.}

{Terrified Islamic moderates began to appear in the media, saying they had been in hiding for years because of threats from extremists - all such threats having passed unnoticed by U.K. authorities.

Meanwhile London prepared to welcome Islamofascist preacherman Prof. Tariq Ramadan - banned from France and the USA but welcomed to excuse Islamoterror in Britain by ludicrous Blairite multiculturalists such as pompous semi-shaven jug-eared authoritarian bastard Charles Clarke, Home Secretary, and the Association of Chief Police Officers which was putting up œ9K for the gig. The CIA declared London to be "easily the most jihadist hub in western Europe" (Daily Mail, 13 vii). The Mail said that "great accommodations" were required from both sides of the Muslim-White divide; the Times said "The Muslim majority must recognize a responsibility to end the cult of nihilistic extremism"; and the Grauniad welcomed planned big-city marches by Muslims intended to demonstrate their bona fides - while letting its young Muslim columnist, Dilpazier Aslam, write that "[the agitation of Muslims] builds till it can be contained no more."

The work of the anti-Islamofascism Italian journalista Oriana Fallaci, 75 and herself not Christian, was acknowledged with appreciation in Human Events, 8 vii - she was facing legal action for 'vilifying Islam' (though fortunately was safely in hiding in New York) (Grauniad, 13 vii).} {Whereas London's mayor Ken Livingstone had insisted the bombers could not be said to have acted 'ideologically' or even out of a 'perversion of Islam', Rev. Blair and Chazza respectively backed these two explanations while calling on moderate Islamofascists to demonstrate their moderation. The Guardian and Sun both recorded Mr Blair in apparently tough-minded form about extreme Mohammedanism, saying "We must pull up this evil ideology by its roots. Young people get indoctrinated into what is an extreme and poisonous version and perversion of the religion"; and the Guardian had its MP columnist Jackie Ashley, doyenne of Islington's chattering classes, defending Britain as a home not specially of stoicism, courage or even good humour but of "lively democracy and free speech" and writing that "Saying that the bombings have nothing at all to do with Islam is fatuous" ('Speak up, Speak out!' 14 vii) - though the newspaper felt obliged to balance this with a column saluting Prof. Ramadan.

Mick Hume in the Times agreed with Jackie Ashley on the need for robust free speech, while equally declining to even hint what this might involve - perhaps the identification of the problems of low-IQ youths (whether Muslim, Catholic or Proddie) that was once presented fully to the public in The g Factor, 1996.}



BLACK-ON-WHITE RAPIST REVEALED

After a lengthy legal battle, the 15-year old schoolboy who had raped (forced oral sex on) a 28-year-old female teacher at Westminster City School for Boys was publicly revealed as being of Arab appearance with an Afro hairstyle (Sun, 13 vii).



PLATO DOES WELL IN COMPETITION

Backed by myself, Denis Constales and Harrison Kane ('Why ignore the g factor?') and by intellectual comedian Stephen Fry, the philosopher Plato came fifth in the BBC competition to find the world's top philosophers (BrandRepublic, 15 vii). The realists/empiricists Marx, Hume and Plato occupied three of the first five places, the other two being taken by the idealists/subjectivists Wittgenstein and Nietzsche.



WETS BLASTED

A fine summary of Britain's main problem, its pseudo-socialist wimps and amnesiacs, unable to believe in Britain's historic liberating genius (even nurturing 'top' philosopher Marx as he worked out his damaging anti-g ideas in the comfort of the British Museum) was provided by Gerard Baker in the Times, 15 vii). The Guardian also carried a fine quote from Marx's Mum, that she complained that Marx spent 'too much time writing about capital and not enough time making it.'



PEECEE FORGOTTEN

The Washington Post remarkably attributed the success of modern Finland partly to its "ethnic homogeneity"



GENES FOR IQ FOUND

Queensland psychogeneticist Professor Nick Martin claimed to have found genes on chromosomes 2 and 6 which differ between twins (and between siblings) in so far as the twins (and siblings) differ in IQ. 1,000 Australian and Dutch adolescents served as subjects in the study which pinpointed specific areas of DNA in which the genetic differences occurred. The researchers linked chromosome 2 to Performance IQ, overlapping a region associated with autism. The region on Chromosome 6 was linked to full-scale and verbal IQ and had a small overlap with an area implicated in reading disability and dyslexia.



PROFESSOR FOR ENOCH; P.M. FOR 'ASSIMILATION'; MUSLIM vs ISLAM

Linguistics professor Geoffrey Sampson (in trouble in 2002 for 'racism') published a fine letter defending Enoch Powell's concerns about immigration (Daily Telegraph, 15 iv).

And British Prime Minister Tony Blair became the latest politician to say that multiculturalism (said in 2004 to have its limits by Campaign for Racial Equality boss Trevor Phillips) would have to be put on the back burner while Britain concentrated on demanding the assimilation of Muslims - to which the only alternative was apparently "anarchy."

From Canada, a pretty and dashing young female TV presenter calling herself a "Muslim refusenik," Irshad Manji, emerged with a new book, The Trouble With Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith. An excerpt: "...we know that we can't pin our basest ills on America. The cancer begins with

A MODEST PROPOSAL

In all the discussion of the London bombings, I don't find any positive proposals that anyone dares to put forward. So here's a try:

I suggest a campaign to encourage Londoners to sit at the front of tubes, trains and buses if White; and at the back if Black, Arab, Pakistani etc. Everyone will feel safer with this mini-apartheid -- for surely martyr-terrorists won't want to blow up carriage loads of their own kin, so even the Muslims will feel safer. You could call the campaign 'Safe [Separate] Seating -- Beat the Bombers.' It could easily start by word of mouth, and once it begins it would catch on quickly since everyone would see the rationale (and Blacks et al. would just find all the front seats taken so would easily adjust by heading towards the roomier conditions at the rear).

BRITISH PRESS SELF-DESTRUCTS - LIKE MUCH ELSE

After a lunatic week of failing to diagnose Africa's poverty- corruption- and AIDS-generating problem (low IQ), the British press declined to say what could be done about the Islamosfascist 7 vii bombing (killing some 70) of peecee-crazy Londonistan - which mad Muslims had made their home for the previous twenty years despite protests to Westminster from Arab governments. Even the idea of blowing up one mosque or Muslim business per Westerner killed 'in the name of Islam' did not occur to Britain's wretched 'tabloid' newspapers, supposedly so devoted to the national interest of flushing out hostile psychotics, ignorant incompetents and overfed crazies who humiliate Westerners before sawing their heads off all the while sporting British passports (yes, stand up Omar Sheikh, the Pakistan-based but LSE-educated beheader of American Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl). Accompanying the paparazzi in peecee piety were the police who, instead of telling the Muslim community to deliver information pronto, devoted vast technological resources of men in space suits to analyzing shards of Tube train glass for DNA and sent thousands of officers off to trace 'email threats' made against Britain's Islamonuts.

At the same time, the 'G8' 'world leaders', meeting for golf and nosh at Gleneagles Hotel, agreed to give $3bn to the murderous Arab fanatics of Palestine. In fairness, the Daily Telegraph's Charles Moore ('Where is the Gandhi of Islam?' 9 vii) did question the denial by pinko Mayor of London Ken Livingstone that 'terrorism' was in any way connected with Islam (or even with a 'perversion of Islam') and the feebleness of 'moderate' Muslim clerics who freely associate with grossly anti-Semitic colleagues, refuse the police the use of sniffer dogs and access to the 'holier' areas of mosques, decline to issue fatwas against any Muslim or Muslim movement at all (including jihadist 'charities'), and decline to encourage young Muslims to join the British police and army to fight extremism in the four years since 9/11.

But it looked as if it would be light years before British papers would turn to consider how Israel copes with Palestinians and how Britain once coped with its own rebellion-prone Scottish Highlanders of the eighteenth century. By contrast, the Italians did not mess around - they arrested 142 terror suspects (surely Muslims) in the 48 hours after 7/7. {That terrorism can be defeated is shown by the story of the tyrannical and martyrdom-prone Zealots, forever trying to whip up their fellow Jews against Rome but finally defeated in A.D. 70 - beginning the Jewish Diaspora which itself currently looks such a long-term success IQ-wise for the Jews who survived European pogroms and the Holocaust and got out to America or back to Israel.} {In a surprise move on 10 vii, the normally NuLabour-backing Observer let its star columnist, Nick Cohen, condemn Islamofascism and the Western liberal-lefties who felt obliged to act as its apologists.}



IQ SURFACES

What with talk of Ashkenazi high IQ, of bigger brains being linked to intelligence (in a Virginia U. review of twenty modern studies), of females's smaller brains (though equal IQs) and of the relative importance of 'EQ' ('Emotional IQ' = neuroticism x conscientiousness) as compared to IQ, Google News was yielding 417 hits for a search of 'intelligence IQ' in July.



U.K. AUTHORITIES IN DENIAL

As Britain's ostrich-like peecee police and media announced, almost as if with pride, that the London bombers -- discovered to have a hidey-hole in Leeds and Luton -- were "home-grown," "British born" and "from Yorkshire," it took American publications to dwell rather more on the facts that Leeds was 15% Muslim and had an Arab community (resulting in signs on public buildings appearing in Arabic as well as English) and that nearby Bradford even sported a Pakistani "consulate" (Wvec.com, 12 vii, 18:30p.m.; CBS2chicago.com, 12 vii) and that most if not all of the bombers were Pakistani (SignonSanDiego, 12 vii, according to a Leeds councillor).

The first serious Mandarinated glimpse of the truth from a British source came after some sixteen hours of police responding to CCTV (not the high-expense DNA) identification of the bombers when ITV's 22:30 news announced that some of the bombers had spent months 'training' in Afghanistan and Pakistan (their absences from Leeds and Luton provoking not the slightest curiosity in their Muslim friends); and that Britoid Muslims were telling ITV interviewers that the bombers were 'their worst nightmare come true' - presumably because the Muslims, if not the media, believed the bombers to be Islamonuts.

MULTICULTI INTEGRATION SPURNED

Wanting to stay unintegrated with their Nagala neighbours of India's north-eastern border with Burma, the Asian Christians of Manipur took to blowing up a lot of things, including Indian soldiers (Guardian, 12 vii).
