ETHNIES SURVIVE 150 YEARS ‘UNIFICATION’

A fine summary of Italy’s predicament, divided between its German north and its ‘Egyptian’ south [the corrupt, lazy ooops laidback and mafia-terrorized ‘Mezzogiorno’], was provided in the Sunday Telegraph (13 iii, Nick Squires, ‘Why Italy has so few Italians’) as Italy marked the 150th anniversary of its rebellion (against Austrian rule) culminating in the imposition of a French-backed Sardinian king (Victor Emmanuel II).

Apparently “patriotic fervour in many places [was] in short supply” and British historian David Gilmour (author of The Pursuit of Italy) observed “there’s not much to celebrate in terms of Italian unification when the second most powerful party [Hugo Bossi’s ‘Northern League’] intellectually rejects the idea of a united Italy.” As Austrian master-diplomat Metternich once put it: “Italy is nothing more than a geographical expression.”

The ethnies of ancient Islam also proved robust as Sunni-led Saudi Arabi poured thousands of troops and police into Solunni-led suburb Bahrain to help put down Shia rebellion (in the name of the ‘Arab Spring’ but in fact fuelled from Shitite Iran).

In Libya, the ancient rivals of Tripolitania (west) and Cyrenaica (east) shaped up for ongoing civil war. {The main question was whether Col. Gadawfu, having retaken the western coastline would be mad enough to attack the million-strong once-royalist and now-rich 700K-strong city of Benghazi that was quite self-sufficient in food, Libya’s major port, had its own heavy industry [esp. the war-time vital concrete], was easily supported from the Med [Crete only 250 miles away], and pretty defensible (as Brits and Aussies showed vs Adolf and Benito).

(The rocky desert around B and Tobruk had loads of boltholes suitable for snipers, anti-tank roadside bomber operations etc. – as seen in the classic War film ‘The Desert Rats.’) If farting Muammar G went in, against a big city where every man sported a gun, it could be Stalingrad all over again; and, unlike flatulent Adolf H, G had only some 220 tanks and two frigates.

I pacifically advised G to offer the Benghazis a federal constitution for Libya to be worked out by his well-paid experts at the Libyan ooops London School of Economics.... But, as of 14 iii, with typical Arab incompetence, the rebel army did not appear to have made any significant preparations for Benghazi's defence.}

In the Sudan, refugees fled fighting in the oil-producing area of Abyei as conflict over the break-up of the country into its Muslim north and Christian/Animist south edged closer (Times, 15 iii). And in Ivory Coast (q.v.), the UN said civil war between Muslims and Christians was increasingly likely – 400K people having already been displaced (75K to Liberia).

The equally ancient problem of gypsy ethnics surfaced in Britain as Basildon Council [Essex] resolved to use police to move on 200 ‘Irish travellers’ who had made the town a hell-hole for the past ten years – the operation was to cost taxpayers £18M (Sun, 15 iii). {And where would the gypsies end up? Not in the Pakistan from which they anciently hailed, unfortunately!}

In response, defiant members of the 500-strong traveller community occupying Dale Farm camp in Crays Hill, near Billericay, threatened to "bomb, gas and burn" bailiffs sent in to spearhead the £18million eviction. The travellers accused Basildon Council of "ethnic cleansing" (Sun, 16 iii).

All the while, the politicians of Britain – and of the rest of the West – were forbidden by guilt-imposing PeeCee to decide which ethnics, leaders or policies their countries would back. The result? Ridicule from everywhere – as even Saudi, producer of 12% of the world’s oil and thus relying on US protection, had to make its own military moves to squash Shitites in its backyard and preserve the base for the American Fifth Fleet.


SUBPRIMES TO BLAME

It transpired that the ‘subprime’ account of the world’s 1996-2008 economic bubble&crunch (backed by Steve Sailer, myself and occasional others [e.g Lord Bob Skidelsky, John Gray, Alan Greenspan, John Lanchester; see previous], and blaming the bubble on politically enforced lending in America to useless Blacks and Hispanics) still had another top-level supporter. Ex-PM Gordon Brown, who had steered Britain and the world through the momentous day of 8 x 2008 when the world’s banks were within hours of crashing, told Der Spiegel (22 ii):

What really sparked the whole thing was the subprime crisis in America. But what people hadn't yet realized was that half the subprimes had been sold into European banks. The banks were undercapitalized, and they had a lot of impaired assets on their balance sheets.

PAEDOHYSTERIA – NEW VICTIMS

Head lice (‘nits’) became endemic in some British primary schools since teachers were no longer allowed to inspect pupils’ hair – under paedophilia-preventive ‘no touch’ policies decreed by peecee paedohysterics (Times, 15 iii). With nit control left to families (often Black single-parent mothers), children, even if cleansed, found themselves re-infected with nits as soon as they returned to school.


FREE SPEECH DEFENDED

As America’s left moved tirelessly to limit speakers’ rights to criticize opponents and even their policies (most lately branding all unwanted speech as ‘incitement to violence’ and urging ‘common sense restraints’ on even remote incitement), some welcome words of reproof came from columnist James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal (16 iii, ‘Why toleration of outrageous speech is necessary for political freedom’):

Political freedom is much better served by a regime of near-absolute free speech than one that attempts to impose common-sense limits on speech. This is for two reasons. First, exhortations to respect common sense--defined by Merriam-Webster as "sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts"--presuppose that one has discretion over one's actions: "If you post that on your blog, you'll look foolish, Prof. Leiter. That's just common sense." It's too vague a basis for making legal rules, which require the drawing of clear lines. The First Amendment, in fact, is such a rule, designed to limit government's discretion in policing speech.

Second, common sense is too easily swamped by senseless intellectualism. The experience of generally free countries that do limit speech--including Canada, England and many Continental European lands--is that the limits are dictated by political correctness rather than common sense. The same is true of American institutions of higher education.

WEST IN A MESS II

After two weeks of Daft Dave and most of the Western media trying to support the ‘Arab Spring’ Libyan rebels of Benghazi, it turned out that LSE-backing Col. Gadawfu was probably right in claiming to be a friend of the West in its (strangely prolonged) struggle with the battyboys of OK BinLiner and al-Qaeda. On a per caput basis … twice as many foreign fighters had gone to Iraq from Libya – and specifically eastern Libya – as from any other country in the Arabic-speaking world. Libyans were apparently more fired up to travel to Iraq to kill Americans than anyone else in the Middle East. And 84.1 per cent [74] of the 88 Libyan fighters … who listed their hometowns came from either Benghazi or Darnah in Libya's east.


SHEER BRITOID INCOMPETENCE

As Britain found its air force slow to get Brits out of Tripoli, its (apparently friendly-intended) Special Boats Service mission to Benghazi imprisoned and its humanitarian team of dog experts refused entry by Tokyo because of uncompleted paperwork, its own citizens in ‘Arab Spring’ Bahrain who phoned the British Embassy for advice were told “We are not taking calls.”

{There was a time, in wayback Britain of the 1970s, when your phone would be cut off if you declined to answer calls. But, by 2011, the arrangement was that firms could bombard householders with unwanted coldcall advertising at any time of day or evening; in return, callers to firms and state authorities were unfailingly played ‘soothing’ Haydn music while their calls remained terminally unanswered.}

Nothing daunted, Britain (together with France) led an idealistic charge at the UN to give Col. Gadawfu a few pinpricks while piously declining to get Western hands on his oil. Notably, the ‘BRIC’ countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, together with Germany, declined to get involved in this bizarre exercise of handing the Near East to the Muslim Brotherhood (Voice of Russia, 18 iii).

Meantime, sensing America was having to back the ‘Arab Spring’ so as to preserve President Obarmy’s ‘changemaker’ image and perhaps his Muslim plan for the future of Europe and the Jews, hundreds of noisy demonstrators popped up in the streets of the Yemen and Syria and were shot down in some numbers as America protested their human rights.

At home, American national suicidal lunacy continued (Numbers USA, 15 iii). A new report by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 200,000 children were born annually to women who were lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis. These 200,000 children received automatic citizenship to the United States despite the mother’s allegiance to another nation; their future was thus secure whether as welfare-dependents or highly paid traitors.

In addition to CIS’ finding on births to foreign visitors, the report also found that 300,000 children were born to children of illegal alien parents each year. Of the 200,000 children born to visitors, CIS found that in 20% of the cases (39,000), the mother came to the United States for the sole purpose of giving birth—a practice known as birth tourism. Another 20,000 births were estimated to young foreign women who reside in the United States for temporary stays of multiple years such as students and guest workers.

One top American was unimpressed by Obarmy’s late-in-the-day decision to support Libya’s ‘Arab Spring’ (and risk the oil disappearing to China in a new Nazi-Soviet Pact). Mrs Billery Clinton said she would not serve under Mr Obama for a second term. A source close to her said: "She is not happy dealing with a president who can't decide if today is Tuesday or Wednesday" (Sun, 19 iii).

The incompetence and incoherence of Western support for the ‘Arab Spring’ was were in evidence as the leaders of the ‘Allies’ proceeded to lunch in Paris while Gadawfu ignored his own ‘ceasefire’ and swiftly sent his tanks into Benghazi.

And no ‘no-fly-zone’ was declared on attacks on mad Mueslis in Pakistan: even while the UN was voting to impose a no-fly zone in Libya, at least 40 civilians were killed in another US drone attack in Waziristan (Guardian, 19 iii)....

After lunch, the Allies (apparently to be funded by the dictators of Qatar and United Arab Emirates) poured 150 missiles into Libya, apparently thinking the UN ‘no fly’ declaration licensed widespread damage to Gadawfu’s military installations (BBC World Service, 19 iii, 21:00); but this was not before Gadawfu had got his tanks into Benghazi to prepare for a Stalingrad-style scenario. Libyans fled in all directions – presumably aiming for Europe if they could.

Mad Dog Gadaffi promised to issue his many enthusiastic supporters with guns (e.g. in 1.2M-strong Tripoli). Just why he was not allowed the luxury of suppressing his disorganized and bin-Liner-backing rebels remained a mystery – for China was allowed to suppress Tibet, India to suppress Kashmir and ageing dictator Robert Mugabe to suppress virtually the entire population of ‘Zimbabwe’ (aka Southern Rhodesia).

Whether the ‘Allies’ realized that weakening of Gadawfu’s rule would yield vicious ethnic/tribal war in Libya was also unknown – they were in hysteria about the future, telling journalists, but not the UN that they wanted ‘regime change.’ (Presumably BRIC had abstained with some delight at the thought of the West getting bogged down in Benghazi.)


PAEDO PLEASURE O.K. FOR BLACKS

What was the right jail sentence for full-on penetrative sex (i.e. ‘rape’ by paedohysterical standards) with a 12-year-old girl at midnight in a public park? (Admittedly the girl was willing, indeed keen for attention from her selected footballer to judge by her previous emails; and she pretended to be 16.)

Well, the answer at Reading Crown Court was ‘2 years’ – the sentence given to each of six Reading FC soccer trainees for a group session with two 12-yr-old fillies (Sun, 19 iii). Two years! (One year after remission for good behaviour.)

Many an elderly choir master had been driven to suicide for far less than rape. Yet this case was comprehensible within Britain’s peecee framework – for no less than four of the six ‘rapists’ were Black.


LINK BETWEEN NATIONAL IQ AND NATIONAL WEALTH CONFIRMED.

Researchers James Thompson (UCL) and Heiner Rindermann (U. Technology, Chemnitz) estimated (apparently from new data) that for each point of average national IQ, countries’ GDP was higher by $229 (£140) per head (D.Telegraph, 19 iii, ‘Intelligence linked to the prosperity of a nation’, p.19; Association for Psychological Science [America]).

FRANCE BACKS NEW LE PEN

Reeling from its declared 700 no-go zones (Muesli areas which police and firefighters would not enter except in extreme circumstances), the French Republic found its new National Front leader, Marine Le Pen, more popular than any other politician – having 23% support in polls, compared to 21% for centrist President Nicolas Sarkozy and 21% for socialist leader Martine Aubry (Observer, 6 iii). Since the young Marine had taken over as NF leader from her father, she had played down her party’s traditional Judophobia and instead played up Islamophobia – a shift towards IQ realism.


‘FRENCH’? DON’T SAY THE WORD!

Having effectively outlawed references to Blackness, yagness, IQ or handicap (at least if remotely derogatory), Britain took the next logical step of banning critical reference to nationality (Sun, 7 iii):

A FOOTBALL fan is to appear in court for making an alleged racist comment - after calling a player FRENCH. Everton [Liverpool Protestant] supporter David Sibson, 57, was thrown out of their Goodison Park ground for shouting that the team's French striker Louis Saha was "a useless French lazy b******". He was reported by a fan sitting nearby.

Mr Sibson had his season ticket taken away by the club. Police investigated and he now faces a public order charge before JPs. The ex-MoD worker, of Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire, said: "I'm facing a criminal prosecution just for calling a Frenchman French. If that is racist, then I suppose I'm guilty." An Everton official said: "It's not simply a black or white matter. We'll stamp down very hard on racial abuse of any kind."

LUNIS GET COME-UPPANCE

After years of egalitarian talk, environmentalist attitudes and waving goodbye to academic freedom, Britain’s universities got their punishment as they were obliged to wangle their admissions criteria to take in yet more kids from Britain’s failed state schools in ‘poor’ areas and from ‘care homes’ (Guardian, 8 iii).

{Would they use IQ, which would be one sensible way of proceeding to handle politicians’ demands for ‘widening access’ regardless of actual attainment? Some hope! – Their lefty staff would have heart attacks.}

The uselessness of British non-selective state education (in failing to provide opportunities for bright but poor kids) was further testified as Tesco announced it would be advertising for managers among the better-educated and better-behaved adolescents of Slovakia.


MULTICULTI-PEECEE EXPOSED

As a Muslim fanatic, Emdadur Choudhury, was fined a mere £50 for publicly burning two large poppies on Remembrance Sunday (in Poole, Dorset) (all the while screaming, together with pals, that British soldiers should roast in hell), Brits asked themselves what they would have been fined for burning a copy of the Koran – and knew the rough answer and saw exemplified the ghastly anti-White regime which Britain’s political class had set up over the previous 45 years (BNP, 7 iii).

(The Muesli’s risible fine was to come out of his £792-per-month state benefits. He had not even bothered to turn up in court for his trial.)


WEST IN A MESS

Always required by PeeCee to support the underdog (preferably Muslim, as in Bosnia, Kosovo, the Holy Land and Ivory Coast*), the West found itself in a tizzy over Libya, where both sides were Muslim and the obvious losers-to-be of Benghazi were not even Shitite (as the underdogs had been in Iraq) and the Tyrant of Tripoli had just a few weeks previously been giving up his weapons of mass destruction, looking after the near-death Lockerbie bomber, striking oil deals with BP, funding British ‘higher education,’ discussing an ‘African-style’ democratization of his country and (tell it not in Gath!) stopping Black Africans from getting to Italy.

So there was much humming and hahing about ‘no fly zones’ (surely easy enough to impose on Gaddafi’s ancient Russian aircraft from Western bases in Cyprus, Crete, Malta and Italy); and lawyers clocked up fat fees working out how ‘international law’ would sanctify supporting with arms the ‘human rights’ cause of any finally selected bunch of rebels (at least half of the Benghazi street ravers initially did not want Western intervention since they did not trust the West).

In the confusion, Colonel Cameron sent in a crack SAS team (blacked up, in a helicopter to Benghazi in the middle of the night, mission unknown) – only for them to be humiliatingly imprisoned by some of the rebels and put back on the first boat to Britain [an ancient British destroyer diverted from heading for the knacker’s yard]).

The Guardian summed up the West’s problem well (11 iii, Simon Tisdall): “If the west does not intervene, and the revolution is bloodily suppressed, leaders who spoke out boldly and bravely in support [such as UK PM Cameron, who had called for imposition on Gaddafi of a ‘no fly zone’] will be ridiculed as impotent charlatans. They will not be trusted again. They may be forced, in time, to deal with a triumphant and unpredictably vengeful Gaddafi. And democratic uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world will be set back, perhaps fatally. It is a conundrum made in hell. Except it was made in Downing Street.”

Despite Libya’s revolutionaries soon moving into full-blown retreat (as was hardly surprising given Ghaddafi’s 200-1 military superiority), Daft Dave continued to back them verbally, apparently prepared to see a hostile post-conflict Libya export its oil chiefly to China. Seldom could trendy idealistic support for revolutionaries have seemed odder: for the revolutionaries of Tunisia and Egypt had proceeded swiftly not to parliamentary democracy but to a clampdown on women and alcohol and to the killing of Coptic Christians. {Just why DD and Obarmy had not asked the Egyptian – or some other bloated Arab army – to do the work of intervention was a mystery.}

* Here troubles (especially for Western doctrines of the merits of ‘diversity’) very much continued (see previous) as Muslims tried to take over the quaint previously French-run Christian state. Aid agencies said an estimated 450,000 people had been uprooted by the growing conflict, including tens of thousands who fled to Liberia. In Ivory Coast’s economic capital, Abidjan (once called ‘the Paris of Africa’), some 300,000 people were displaced and the boarded-up streets were littered with barricades and rubbish, mainly because of ethnic fighting between rival forces in the once-fashionable Abobo district, according to the UN (Guardian, 12 iii).


AMERICA’S mini-BBC INFECTED WITH LEFTISM AND JUDEOPHOBIA

America’s National Public Radio was stung bigtime as two undercover reporters pretended to be members of the Muslim Brotherhood offering cash to help with programming and found themselves treated by NPR bossmen to a full chorus of anti-semitic, anti-Republican and indeed anti-American responses (Spectator, 9 iii, Melanie Phillips, ‘A lid is lifted at NPR’).


DISCRIMINATION DEFENDED (Alasdair Palmer, Daily Telegraph, 5 iii):

Last week, the European Court of Justice ruled that insurers are not entitled to take into account the differences between men and women when charging for policies. At present, insurers in most European countries, including Britain, charge young women less for car insurance than young men, on the sensible grounds that young men are about 10 times more likely to be involved in an accident.

Women also usually live several years longer than men. The firms that sell annuities (which convert your pension savings into an income for the rest of your life) therefore charge women more than men, since it will be more expensive to provide them with an annuity. The ECJ has decided that this, too, amounts to sex discrimination and that every member of the EU will have to stop “discriminating” in that way by 2013.

The judges made an elementary mistake about the meaning of the word “discrimination”, confusing the unacceptable practice of manifesting prejudice against groups of people with the perfectly legitimate process of drawing distinctions between them on the basis of well‑attested evidence. Charging people whose main leisure activity is hang-gliding more for their life insurance than people who stay inside playing tiddlywinks is not an example of prejudice. But it is an example of discrimination. And if the ECJ’s rulings were to be made consistent, it would have to be outlawed.

This is, by any standards, simply crazy. No sane person thinks that by charging them more to insure their cars, companies are treating young men in the way Germany treated the Jews in the Thirties. Do we really want decisions on what our laws should be to be taken by officials who cannot distinguish discrimination from prejudice, or actuaries from Nazis?

PEECEE CATHOLICISM

Yo’ Papa Benedict XVI declared Jews were not to blame for the death of Christ. Though Saint Matthew’s Gospel said “all the Jews” bayed for Jesus’ blood after he had had a go at the temple moneychangers, the Pope adjudicated that it was only Jewish ‘leaders’ who had put the boot into Jesus (Daily Telegraph, 2 iii, Nick Squires, Rome). {Il Papa did not provide an estimate of what percentage of Jews of the time did not accept rabbinical leadership – except, of course, the few followers of Jesus.}


PAEDOHYSTERICS P*SSED OFF

There was fury at Kidscape and kindred outfits as beautiful blonde Anglophile Gwyneth Paltrow agreed to sing a song, ‘Do You Wanna Touch Me?’ written in 1973 by nymphette-loving (sometimes imprisoned for paedophilia) glam rocker Gary Glitter – “wholly inappropriate,” fumed Kidscape bosses (Guardian, 10 iii). Gwyneth’s use of the song (immediately taking it into the American Top 30) was likely to lead to a hefty windfall in royalties for ‘pervert’ adolescente-loving Glitter from sales of the track, which Paltrow performed as teacher ‘Holly Holliday’ during a scene in a sex education class.


LIVELY EUGENICIST

As America’s Mrs Barbara Harris (of ‘Project Prevention’) was announced in the British press as having, in the course of a six-month campaign, persuaded 26 British female drug addicts to accept long-term contraception (Daily Mail, 8 iii) (though she denied eugenic intent), the more amusing (especially, babe-bagging) side of the life of Britain’s earlier top progressive (and eugenist), H.G.Wells (1866-1946) got an airing (Guardian, 11 iii, David Lodge):

Wells was....a prophet of the sexual revolution of our own era. He believed in free love and practised it tirelessly. He was married twice to women he loved, but neither of whom satisfied him sexually, and had several long-term relationships, as well as innumerable briefer affairs, mostly condoned by his second wife, Jane.

Of particular interest because of the scandal they aroused were his relationships with three young women half his age: Rosamund Bland, the secretly adopted daughter of Edith and Hubert Bland, who was actually fathered by Bland on Edith's companion and housekeeper, Alice Hoatson {assistant secretary of the Fabian Society}; Amber Reeves, a brilliant Cambridge undergraduate, also the daughter of prominent Fabians; and Rebecca West {later Dame Rebecca, b. 1892), whom he invited to his Essex country house in 1912 to discuss her witty demolition of his novel Marriage in the feminist journal The Freewoman, a meeting that led in due course to the birth of Anthony West on the first day of the first world war, and a stormy relationship that lasted for some 10 years.

JUDGES’ HEAVEN

The takeover of Britain by greedy and peecee lawyers was exposed as ‘Sir’ Fred Goodwin (‘Fred the Shred’), who as CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland had brought the bank to its knees, requiring 84% nationalization, obtained an English High Court injunction (guided by European ‘human rights’ law) forbidding publication of his name or even any reference to him as a banker. Just what Glasgow council house boy Fred was trying to hide was unclear – the very existence of the injunction could only be mentioned because a lone MP had chosen to question it, his question being protected by parliamentary privilege (Guardian, 11 iii, Joshua Rozenberg).

MIDDLE-EAST MAYHEM

Sometimes one finds a kindred spirit, in this case the Spectator’s correspondent ‘Eddie’ on Africa (27 ii):

"This is no morality in foreign policy. For anyone. But anyway, if some countries (in the EU) are moral and try and make things better, what happens? The Chinese march in with their amoral 'see no evil' agenda, bribing anyone they need to bribe to secure business and resources and turning a blind eye to all human rights violations.

If the USA had backed Britain in France in Suez in 1956, of course, none of this mess would have ever happened...

Ignore all mad Muslims: it's a typical false argument for them to blame all bad in the world and the middle east on infidels. conveniently forgetting that most muslims who are killed are killed by muslims, and that it's muslim despots supported by the muslim people who do these bad things and make these countries hell holes. The fantasy and delusion of the Islamist extremists who are always invited on BBC shows is that an Islamist world under Sharia law would be Utopia, and all problems in the world are there because we do not follow Sharia and Jihad. Ho hum... I do wish these nutjobs would get a hobby!

Having said that, the north african leaders who are now being deposed did lift the literacy rate from less than 20 to 80% in their countries and educate the young. Now they have a huge unemployed educated under-30 population and rising food prices: these things are the reason for the uprisings, not any moral opposition to any leader!

Western post-Suez incompetence in controlling the Arab world (which Britain and France had previously managed OK for two hundred years) was further exposed as Libya – which had supposedly done a rehabilitative deal with the US in 2003 – turned out to have retained substantial supplies of chemical and biological weapons, as well as yellow cake uranium (the key ingredient for building a nuclear bomb) (Daily Mail, 2 iii). Nor had the West achieved behavioural restraint in Libya, for savage Alsatians and boxers were set on male prisoners to tear them limb from limb and Viagra- and drink-fuelled Africans were let loose for hours to rape, bugger and otherwise chastise screaming female prisoners (The Australian, 1 iii).

America’s great ally, Pakistan, the beneficiary of multi-trillion-dollar largesse, shot dead its only Christian cabinet minister (Guardian, 2 iii).


NONSENSICAL NON-DISCRIMINATION

A new high peak of anti-‘discriminatory’ lunacy was reached in Britain as Eurojustice made it illegal to offer lower car insurance premiums to women. The Sun (28 ii):

EU fools

CAR insurance for young men has long been eye-wateringly pricey. But at least it makes sense. They are the greatest risk.
Now the European Court of Justice is to ban gender bias in insurance. And we all know what will happen. Insurance firms will hit young women with equally extortionate rates - and young men's premiums may fall a few quid if they're lucky. And so a judge in Europe, backing a politically correct case brought by a Belgian consumer group, will rewrite UK rules on car insurance. Making a fair system blatantly unfair.

BRITOID THOUGHT POLICE SHOW THEIR HAND

After Britain had spent fifty years abolishing free speech about any important matter (race, religion, sex, handicap, dysgenics etc.), it was the turn of London High Court judges to forbid a pair of (successful) Black foster parents to take in any more children (despite the enormous demand for foster places for Black kids, the victims of the country’s dysgenic ‘social worker’ police). Why the ban? The couple would not agree to abandon their traditionally Christian thinking about homosexuality. Jewish columnist Melanie Phillips set out the problem (Spectator, 28 ii):

The crime [of foster parents Eunice and Owen Johns] is simply to believe it is wrong to promote a homosexual lifestyle to a child in their care because they take the view that sex outside marriage is wrong.

Yet for that view – which not long ago was a normative moral position – Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson have ruled that they must be banned from fostering any further children. They are being banned simply because they have views of which these judges disapprove.

Such a ruling is, first, utterly illiberal and intolerant. Second, in its shallowness and secular bias it is ridiculous. For the judges actually said that there was no place in law for Christian beliefs – that Britain was a ‘largely secular’, multi-cultural country in which the laws of the realm ‘do not include Christianity’.

{Yes, the Blair/Brown years had proved a triumph for yaggery and PeeCee – with paedophiles, children needing a home and freethinkers being the foremost victims, and with ‘Liberals’ somnolescent.}


(A LITTLE) ATTENTION FOR IQ & The Wealth of Nations

America’s most cited legal scholar, the balded Richard Posner, turned out to have condescended to mention Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen’s evidence (available since Audrey Shuey’s work of 1966) that US IQ was dragged down by the feeble contribution from its Blacks -- but Posner had little time for genetic explanations and thought a few more Head Start programmes could well solve the problem while, as an ignoramus of moderation, adjudicating that education could be overestimated “relative to genetic and cultural factors and also (and importantly) to economic inequality” (‘The Becker-Posner Blog’, 2 i). {In short, a long way for this venerated expert to go!}


‘DIRECT SOCIALIST’ ‘GREEN BOOK’ LOON LOVED BY LSE

As Libya’s ranting IRA- and Scargill-backing mad dog Colonel Gaddafi was cornered pro tem. in his capital Tripoli and denounced as ‘insane’ even by insiders who had worked with him for 45 years, it transpired that he had enthusiastic pals among academics and students at the London School of Economics – to which he had given £1.5M (as a thank-you for his son being given a Ph.D. there for a plagiarized thesis [Guardian, 5 iii]) and where one bosswallahmonkey, Prof. David Held, who ‘supervised’ the son, was a close pal of Labour’s new union-backed adenoidal leader Ed Miliband (Sun, 28 ii, 28iib; Daily Mail, 3 iii; Times, 3 iii, p.1 news, illustration of LSE connections to Libyan dosh and educational projects, denunciatory leading article, denunciation by ex-MP Margaret Hodge).

Other lunis on the Colonel’s payroll included Manchester Metropolitan, Liverpool John Moores, Teesside, Glamorgan and Queen Margaret [Edinburgh]. Evidently the Blair/Brown ‘New Labour’ deal had been not just with the *ankers and hedgerow gamblers but also with Gaddawfu – who had duly obliged by denouncing al Qaeda, funding British universities and generally appearing ‘one of us’ by mouthing commitment to demakrazy.

Being believers in multiculti mythology, the London academics failed to see that Gaddawfu’s ‘direct socialism’ or ‘alternative way’ (without any official political leader) was actually a case of good old-fashioned tribalism – for Libya sported 140 tribes or clans which Gaddawfu (himself from the relatively small northern Qaddafi tribe) ruled in classical imperial manner by steel and deals.

One luminary on the Libyan School of Economics Board, the well-known boyish civil liberties campaigner Shami Chakrabarty, had the goodness to say she would dish out “bucketloads” of apologies for the LSE having become so shamelessly involved with a tyrant and probable mass murderer. And the LSE boss, ignoramus ‘Sir’ Howard Davies, had the decency to resign (Sun, 4 iii) – saying he had been duped by the Blair/Gaddafi deal.

But there were no public regrets from former LSE Director Prof. Anthony Giddens (adviser to Blair on postmodern ‘Third Way’ ideas,* and thus given a seat in the House of Lords) who declined to tell the Guardian whether he had been paid for his visits to Gaddafi’s tent (visits partly organized from Harvard with the blessing of LSE graduate multi-billionaire George Soros) (5 iii).

{In truth, it was difficult to know how far to go with apologizing, as the Colonel seemed well-placed to rout the opposition to him in far north-eastern Libya – with the help of the £100M supplies of tear gas, armoured vehicles and jets which he had had from Britain’s New Labour Government.}

Detail of how the leftist academics were taken in:

{“Our Brother”} Gaddafi was seen praised by LSE luminaries in a cringe-making video link as "the world's longest serving leader".

His son, Saif al-Islam, settled in a north London palace to write an LSE PhD and dispense trips and contracts. He was declared as being committed to "democracy, civil society and deep liberal values" and was even invited to give the Ralph Miliband memorial lecture, an unusual honour for any student.

His appreciation was swift. The university accepted a £1m contract to train 400 regime-approved "future leaders" from Libya. The mind boggles at it all. – Guardian, 4 iii, Simon Jenkins.

A consulting firm founded by Harvard professors in Cambridge, Mass., received $250,000 a month from the Libyan government to help polish the image in the West of its leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, The Boston Globe reported today. The work for Colonel Qaddafi included a proposed book expounding his views on democracy and freedom, paid visits to the Libyan leader by a host of academic luminaries, and even help on a doctoral dissertation that his son Seif was writing at the London School of Economics and Political Science. – Chronicle of Higher Education [USA], 4 iii.

Harvard University [actually returned a $2.5m donation it received from the then dictator of the United Arab Emirates,] Sheikh Zayed, after it emerged that his Zayed International Centre for Co-ordination had sponsored lectures and publications claiming that Zionists were responsible for the Holocaust and that the US military had carried out the 11 September attacks in 2001.

Unfortunately the LSE had no such qualms and in December 2006 signed an agreement with the UAE's current ruler, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan, to create a centre for Middle Eastern studies at the university. – Guardian, 5 iii, Emmanuel Akpan-Imwang.

*Private Eye called him “purveyor of pseudo-intellectual bollocks to the intelligentsia” (4 iii).


GADDAFI GUARDS THE GATES

Enthusiasm for the tyrannous Colonel Gaddafi actually to be overthrown was higher among the great-and-good of London and Washington than it was in Europe for a simple reason (Der Spiegel, 24 ii). “We know what to expect when the Libyan national system falls,” said Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, according to the UK Telegraph. “A wave of 200,000 to 300,000 immigrants.”

Gaddafi in recent years had played up his role as a bulwark against African immigrants to Europe. Italy and Libya began joint naval patrols in 2008 to stop boatloads of illegal or trafficked immigrants from crossing the Mediterranean, and in 2010 Libya signed a €50 billion deal with the European Union to manage its borders as a “transit country” for sub-Saharan Africans.

Italian Foreign Minister Frattini said that some 2.5 million people in Libya—about a third of the population—are non-Libyan immigrants who would flee if the government fell. Gaddafi himself had enjoyed stoking these fears. “Europe will become Black,” he said in December, if European leaders failed to cooperate with him on immigration controls.


STAR RACISM (AND ITS BACKGROUND)

Fashion house Dior’s top designer (of dresses no-one ever wears – except fat old Saudi bags liking to pretend they are thin), John Galliano, joined Ezra Pound in expressing a degree of dislike for Jews – even saying (with much drink taken, in a Paris restaurant, where he did not notice he was being filmed) that he ‘loved Hitler’ and that Jews had possibly deserved gassing.

Delightful out-of-wedlock-pregnant superstarlet Natalie Portman, a Dior model as well as a Jewess and Harvard psychology graduate, said she would never work with Galliano again and Dior promptly sacked him; but some fashionistas were semi-loyal, interpreting Galliano’s outburst as part of the ‘transgressive’ personality which the fashion industry had long encouraged him to cultivate (Guardian, 2 iii, Linda Grant).

{Whether the outré Galliano disliked the Jews more than the English, Irish, Scots or Welsh, and for what reason, could not be ascertained as PeeCee’s safety curtain on all discussion of racial questions was immediately brought down. G issued a grovelling apology as the peecee police of Paris moved in on him with an eye to arranging a six-month prison sentence for his drunken transgression.}

Wikileaks founder, leftist Julian Assange (awaiting trial for ‘rape’ in Sweden) was equally daringly – if more seriously – racist as he accused both Private Eye and the Guardian of a ‘Jewish conspiracy’ against his whistleblowing website (Guardian, 2 iii). In recent years, actors Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen had been noted for digs at / curses of Jews (mainly when drunk). {Apparently the left-luvvies, finding there were more Muesli than Yiddish votes, had persuaded celebrities to greater displays of Judeophobia than had been seen since the 1930s.}

Mohammad Aliabadi, the head of Iran's National Olympic Committee complained that the babyish jagged-shaped logo for the London 2012 Olympic ‘Games’ ‘clearly’ spelled the word "Zion". That, the Iranian complained, was "a very revolting act” -- though millions of people had failed to see "Zion" surreptitiously contained inside the ghastly graphic (Guardian, 3 ii, Jonathan Freedland).

The Community Security Trust, which monitored anti-Jewish attacks in Britain, claimed that 2009-10 were the worst years on record for anti-Jewish incidents – ranging from acts of violence to bricks through synagogue windows to hate mail to abuse screamed on the streets.

{However, Jews continued to do fine at Nobel Prizes and Hollywood – where the sprightly Helena Bonham-Carter, zooming to score for playing the Queen Mother in the new film, ‘The King’s Speech,’ and for being a friend of Nice Nick and Daft Dave, turned out to be half-Jewish (well, fully Jewish by Jewish criteria).

The left-fuelled racism of stars and Mueslis was based on conspiratorial paranoid thinking rather than on any realities of psychology. – Still, it was apparently flourishing, unlike sober mainstream objections to filling the West with IQ-85 breeders.}


LUNIVERSITIES EXPOSED

As it leaked out that Scottish universities were plotting to charge students £14Kp.a. (presumably then doing without direct teaching subsidy from the Scottish Executive and leaving it to that body to organize charity handouts for lads and lasses o’ pairts), investigation by the Daily Mail (3 iii, p.1) found hundreds of administrators in Scotland’s lunis paying themselves in excess of the UK Prime Minister – the star case being the diminutive but magisterial Edinburgh LUni Principal, Sir Tim O’Shea, who bagged an annual £.5M in pay and pension.

Having abandoned academic freedom and high-level academic teaching (getting much tutoring and lecturing done by postgrads -- quite a few of whom could hardly speak English, students complained), the luniversities had increasingly devoted themselves to cashflow greed and the pious retailing to semi-literate ‘students’ of mendacious multiculturalism.

Many ingenious tricks were used to keep things sweet and profitable, for example buying off student leaders with paid ‘sabbaticals’ which turned student associations into gaffers’ unions.

By 2011, Edinburgh University had scores of students canvassing to be elected to these sabbaticals, with the central George Square area plastered with hundreds of posters. One (attractive) young lady showed her mettle by advertising (all unwittingly as to her own charms, surely) More contact hours for all! Extended sessions and feedback! Mass access for disabled!

But E.LU. needed all its tricks for it had suffered a 15% drop in its applications (The Journal [Edinburgh], 23 ii, p.1) – probably as it had become known that its teaching was increasingly cursory and its courses of limited vocational relevance (even its law students with 2:1 degrees could be found working as checkout girls in Sainsbury’s a year after graduation).

Elsewhere, Northwestern University found a new way of stimulating student satisfaction {Hold your hat!}.

Northwestern students and administrators are defending an explicit after-class demonstration involving a woman being publicly penetrated by a sex toy on stage before members of the popular (600-strong) Human Sexuality course. The optional presentation, provided after the class and attended by about 120 students, featured a naked non-student woman being repeatedly sexually stimulated to the point of orgasm by the sex toy, referred to as a "fucksaw." The device is essentially a motorized phallus. – Daily Northwestern, 1/3 iii.

BRITOID MULTICULT LOONIPOLS BLOW IT

Elected in May 2010, the UK’s Camco Government had the momentum at the time to deal with the Clinton/Blair/Bush/Brown enforced Black&Mexican-splurging bubble&crunch by cutting all public expenditure, across the board, by 10% (or, as grumpy gay historian David Starkey preferred [BBC Question Time, 4 iii], 20%).

Instead, failing to tell the truth about the multiculti bubble, Camco had meandered along with just sufficient promises of promises of cuts to international markets to keep the pound sterling afloat. But voters were unimpressed – those in Barnsley, at a by-election, delivering Labour goons 61% and putting UKIP ahead of the ‘Conservatives’ and Liberals in sixth place – behind even the demonized BNP.

At the same time, it emerged that the Ministry of Defence – despite nine months of CamCo control – had been spending £22 on light bulbs selling in hardware stores for just 65p (on contracts made under Liebour, yet without public acknowledgment of the nonsense) (Sun, 4iii).


RACE REALISM IN TUNISIA

As scores of thousands of hungry and thirsty people seethed trying to cross from Libya into Tunisia, some were more likely to be beaten back than others (Globe&Mail [Toronto], 1 iii):

Officials from the UNHCR confirmed that sub-Saharan Africans are being singled out for exclusion from the border, and kept in dangerous conditions in the no-man’s-land between Libya and Tunisia. A few hundred Malians were allowed through over the weekend, but no black faces were visible Tuesday among the more than 10,000 people who did get through. “They call out country by country—Bangladesh, Egypt, China—but they don’t call out any African country,” said a Ghanaian. “They tell us they do not want any blacks to come in here.”

NATIONAL ‘HEALTH’ SERVICE EXPOSED

86,000 Britoid under-24s were so ‘sick’ that they could not work and needed £65-per-week state handouts (plus council housing, child support, nursery services [aka schools], garbage-collection, policing and doctoring), figures from the last year of Labour government revealed (Daily Express, 23 ii). 20,000 of the 18- to 24-year-olds had been on the self-defeating country’s Incapacity Benefit for longer than five years – often handicapped by Blackness, Liverpuddlianism, obesity, ugliness, Muesli-dictlated first-cousin marriage etc. but anyhow unassisted by the wet leftists, bloated bureaucrats and chainsmoking lesbians of Britain’s ‘iconic’ NHS.


WESTERN MULTICULCHALUNACY EXPOSED

As America revealed its surely-terminal lack of grip on the Middle East (allowing its favourite dictator of 40 years standing, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, to go on holiday, and failing to enforce a no-fly zone on crazed Libyan tyrant Colonel Gadawful who had been strafing his own citizens [= members of tribes other than his own]), Britain’s 9-month-old CamCo government revealed its own weakness by publishing its (compulsory) 2011 census forms in 57 languages. As the Sun said (24 ii): “How does that encourage foreigners to learn our language? Census forms have to be filled out by law. Immigrants should do so in English. If they can't, a fine is a good incentive to learn.”

So who would take over the Muesli East? Presumably Turkey, from which Britain and France had c. 1917 liberated Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon etc. – and provided the Jews a homeland in return for their funding America into belatedly joining in WWI. But America had failed to bring Turkey into line (suppressing its anti-feminist barbarism) so it could join the EU; so the Turks (possessed of the largest army in Eurabia) had understandably returned to their historic Ottomanic ambitions, which the American collapse (under its Kenya-born, Britain-hating, half-Black Muesli president -- invited for a stay at Buck House to keep Britoid ‘diplomacy’ sweet) made eminently realizable.


B*GGERED BRITAIN

As the UK singularly failed to rescue its citizens timeously from the scrum at Tripoli Airport, columnist Melanie Phillips put her finger publicly on the problem of which most Brits had become aware in the previous decade (as their tax affairs were dealt with from half a dozen different addresses by yobs in baseball caps whose desks were strewn with Coke cans): the collapse of competence resulting from the tireless assaults by Labour and kin for a generation on ‘elitism’ in recruiting (Spectator, 25 ii). The Sun added a story from London (25 ii):

Benefit fraudsters bagged £1 million using the names of 500 people and giving the same address - an ex-council flat. But hang on... didn't the last Labour government spend BILLIONS on computer systems? Surely a scam like this should have been spotted in a nanosecond?

Clearly, modern technology is useless when it is operated under a system cursed by the two great failures of state bureaucracy... Stupidity and incompetence.

MUSLIM PAEDOPHILIA IS OK

Following an Austrian judge clearing Prophet Mahomet of paedophilia with his nine-year-old Aisha (see previous), Cambridgeshire Judge Gareth Hawkesworth declined to jail one Turon Ali, 26, for sextexting and grooming a 14-yr-old girl, saying he was not a true paedophile but had just let his sexual urges run away with him (Sun, 25 ii).

The verdict – a mere suspended prison sentence – gave hope to paedophiles of other faiths everywhere (grossly stigmatized at the behest of the yag fraternity, trying to pretend that wooftahs themselves had no interest in ‘chicken’) that they too might one day be the beneficiaries of similar clemency and utilitarian realism.


ARAB DEMOCRACY IS OK

British and American politicos and MSM got into the swing of things and jumped for joy at their longstanding allies in the Middle East being challenged by supposedly demakrazy-loving Muesli mobs.* But one photo kept on resurfacing (from 2010), reminding everyone of the short-termism and hypocrisy of Western policy (which had even countenanced the bombing of friendly anti-gypsy Serbia in the 1990s so as to try to suck up to Mueslis):



In the Guardian, man-of-moderation Alexander Chancellor added (25 ii): “In the light of subsequent events, Neville Chamberlain's effort to appease Adolf Hitler is usually portrayed as one of the most shameful episodes in modern British history. But surely Tony Blair's love-in with Colonel Gaddafi was worse.” (Not that Rev. Bliar needed to take the blame alone: Libya had throughout a seat on the UN’s Human Rights Council... The American Empire had long taken to polite pretenses rather than the bombing the hell out of the bastards that should have shown Western determination in 1956.)

* The Muesli rule was effectively: ‘One man. One vote. One time.’


NOT RACIST TO ASK BLACKS FOR QUIET IN CINEMA

In a surprising outbreak of common sense, Delaware Supreme Court decided (though doubtless only after million-dollar expenditures) that cinema managers and patrons could ask Blacks to quieten down (News Journal [Michigan], 23 ii).

{However, few were likely to exercise their non-racist right, for doing so would result in sundry attacks and ‘accidents’ by Blacks for the rest of the film.... Many Whites had long since ceased attending performances where young Blacks were present.}


BWITS WEADY FOR MODEWATE WEALISM

A Populist poll showed 50% of Brits would support an anti-immigration party so long as it did not use fascist imagery or threaten violence (SkyNews, 27 ii, 10:00). {Or mention Blacks, Pakistanis, the third world, crime, stupidity or terror, no doubt...!}


ÉIRISH IMBECILITY

The Holy Republic of Oireland, having spent the twentieth century refusing to be part of the UK, the British Empire, the British Commonwealth or Nato found its capital swarming with its new bailing-out rulers from Brussels – whom it frankly called “Germans.” A top Eirish businessman proposed rejoining sterling, and the Queen agreed to give Dublin a visit; but the country still voted IRA murderer Gerry Adams into its parliament.

{Faced with the Bundesbank’s insistence on 7% annual interest on Éireland’s colossal debt to Germany, the Republic’s politicians seemed likely to continue to provide an old-fashioned model of nationalist intransigence. Meantime, 150 youngsters left the Auld Sodde daily to seek work abroad. – Fortunately they had grammar, table manners and even Latin thanks to the Church – with the help of its paedophiles -- having preserved the country’s educational system.}

AMERICAN HORROR STORY

As the Middle East began to fall into Muesli hands (as devoutly wished by Empire- and Churchill-hating US President Barry Hussein Obarmy), the pathetic culmination of 55 years of American ‘diplomacy,’ particular interest attached to Pakistan – the USA’s great nuclear-armed ally so rife with corruption, criminality, power cuts and loathing of its own president (one Ali FartWee, widely believed to have murdered his own wife, Benazir Bhutto, to achieve power) that most of its undue population (arising from American and Catholic failures to pursue eugenics) wanted nothing more than to get to safety in welfare-state Britain (Guardian, 15 ii, ‘The country is ripe for revolt’).


WESTERN POLITICIANS EXPOSED

In scenes reminiscent of those of The Camp of the Saints (Jean Raspail [Academie Française prizewinner], 1973, Paris : Laffont, “one of the most disturbing novels of the late twentieth century” – Atlantic Monthly), 5,000 dysgenically bred Tunisians (many freshly escaped from Tunisia’s jails) landed in Italy (Lampedusa) in a single week, claiming merely that there were no jobs for them after their compatriots had overthrown the Tunis regime (led by Ali Baddy MultiDine till his overthrow by the mob).

Though having had almost 40 years since Raspail’s warning to prepare for such an influx, Europe’s politicians were speechless – Italy’s M. Berlusconi’s mind dwelling on his naked ‘bunga bunga’ parties with possibly overpaid underage strippers and Britain’s PM Cameron trying to work out what his ‘Big Society’ proposal was about (when any fool could have told him it should have been about tax breaks for properly constituted five-year heterosexual marriages and similar useful contracts for OAPs to provide babysitting for neighbours in return for getting their light bulbs changed).

As American grip on Egypt failed, demotic uproar spread to Bahrain, the home of the American Fifth Fleet guarding the Gulf of Arabia. Following the American-approved line, King Abdonnafart soon grovelled. By contrast, Libya’s loopy-left Arab dictator Colonel Gadawfu (famed for restoring far-gone cancer sufferers to health) gunned down hundreds of his people in a couple of days (and presumably injured thousands more).


DEMOCRACY, ARAB-STYLE

As top CBS reporter, the nifty-looking Lara Logan, recovered from the injuries and sustained sexual molestations (gropings) inflicted on her by a crowd of 200 Egyptians in Cairo’s democrazy-loving Tahrir Square, the dewy-eyed MSM admitted that its darling Arab democratic freedom fighters had been baying “Jew! Jew!”, displaying Egypt’s notorious Judophobia. LL was not in fact Jewish; Egypt had an average IQ of 83.

Even the quintessentially boring liberal Timothy Garton Ash picked up the vibes from a visit to ‘the Arab street’ in Madrid (Guardian, 17 ii):

"In the confusion of a new semi-freedom {i.e. of the revamped military dictatorship in Egypt}, some very nasty old worms will come out of the woodwork. I got a small taste of this from a young Moroccan sitting at a bus stop here. Apropos nothing in particular, he started telling me that "all the problems in the world are the fault of the Jews". The prophet Muhammad had a problem with the Jews, he explained, and ever since the Jews have been making trouble for the Muslims. He worships at a mosque where the chief imam is from – how did you guess? – Saudi Arabia.

MULTICULTI TREACHERY

The new fashion (e.g. with leaders Angela Merkel and Daft Dave Cameron) for pretending to criticize multiculturalism was not lost on super-realist Jewish columnist Mark Steyn (Steyn Online, 16 ii):

"So now the same political class [as of the past 20 years] is telling us that multiculturalism is a failure - "a wrong-headed doctrine that has had disastrous results," as David Cameron put it, leading immigrant communities "to live separate lives, apart from each other and apart from the mainstream."

The Prime Minister said the cure for multiculturalism is "muscular liberalism", which sounds pretty butch for a 21st century Brit pol. But, as the speech went on, the muscle turned to flab before your very eyes: Don't worry, there's no problem with Islam - "a religion observed peacefully and devoutly by over a billion people" - only with "Islamist extremism", and while the problem with "Islamist extremism" can manifest itself in unfortunate ways - "the biggest threat that we face is terrorist attacks" - it is "important to stress that terrorism is not linked to any one religion or ethnic group".

If you were one of those lavishly-funded Muslim lobby groups that dreams of seeing the Islamic crescent flying over Buckingham Palace, you'd be forgiven for thinking that, for all the muscle, it's just PC bollocks as usual.

A yet sterner warning about Islam had been issued in 1899 by Winston Churchill:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

BRITAIN ‘AWAKES’ – THANKS TO PAEDOHYSTERIA

Britain long ago gave up hanging, preferring to spend a million pounds per lifer to salve its conscience that such wretches had ever been born and funded through the country’s state schools by its ‘welfare state.’ It gave up punishment, reckoning it was easier to allow cons a life of drug-fuelled widescreen TV, computer games and internet porn (helped by affairs with female ‘prison officers’ – most admittedly fat, forty and frumpy). It accepted from legal experts that it could not deport raving terrorist Mueslis back to their own hell-hole countries (for fear of infringing their human rights to lesbianism or to stay close to their British-welfare-dependent children). It gave up on free speech about IQ, race, religion, wymmin, Welsh, Liverpuddlians, disabled and yags. It prepared to give cons the vote (for fear of being called a ‘dictatorship’ by Eurowallahs – Guardian, 16 ii).

But, mirabile dictu, it just might draw the line SOMEWHERE. Yes, confronted by the European Court of Human Rights* and its own new ‘Supreme Court’ saying released sex pervs could not be hounded for life by forever having to register with police, the nation found its moral feet, or gangrenous foot: not only the tabloid newspapers but the Labour Party and PM Daft Dave professed themselves ‘appalled’ by such egregious human rights.* Wow, where would such shock end? Perhaps PeeCee could itself be cancelled? {Don’t hold your breath!}

* [From a Guardian correspondent] I'm with [Queensman Jeremy] Bentham: all this talk of natural rights is “simple nonsense, rhetorical nonsense—nonsense upon stilts". And as for Lord Phillips's protestations then, as Mandy Rice-Davies once observed: "he would say that, wouldn't he?" Compare Lord Hoffmann [also a Queensman] for more thoughtful, and sceptical, observations in these matters.


HOW TO VOTE

As Britain moved towards its historic May referendum on whether to vote for Parliament by its traditional ‘first-past-the-post’ system or by ‘alternative voting’ (under which voters for the loser were asked their second preferences until a winner emerged for whom at least 50% had somehow voted), a fine discussion was provided by Martin Kettle and correspondents (Guardian, 18 ii). All told, the answer was probably that FPTP should be retained, but using a card vote under which each MP had a number votes in the Commons based on the votes in his constituency which he had received at the general election.

But this ingenious option was not on offer in May; so AV (favoured by the great moderate Labour rebel Roy Jenkins) was the obvious choice for the 10% of the population that wanted to express themselves by BNP, UKIP or EDL but then wanted a second vote if their first minority choice flopped; also, AV was likely to achieve the primary national objective of keeping Labour forever out of single-handed power.


WHITE WESTERN SCIENCE DEFENDED

As the New York Post took it upon itself to summarize how East Asian, Hindu and Jewish ‘minorities’ had no problem excelling in the schools of the Big Apple (16 ii), one correspondent, ‘Bon,’ reminded readers of White intellectual leadership of the past:

Let me tell you what we Whites are made of:

Over 97% of the most important scientists and 74% of the most important artists and authors were white, almost all males, and most from only four countries, Great Britain, Germany, France, and Italy with borders defined by Naples, Marseilles, the western border of Dorset County in England, a point a few miles above Glasgow, the northern tip of Denmark, and a point a few miles east of the city that used to be Breslau in German Silesia (now Wroclaw in Poland).

Apparently, Chinese versions of paper and gunpowder arrived no earlier than those of Europe and anyhow were actually not much good.


‘EDUCATED’ TO HATE – MUSLIMS IN BRITAIN

Secret filming by the Daily Mail at one of Britain’s top Muslim schools (the ‘Eton of Islam,’ in Birmingham) revealed examples of the ‘teaching’ that had evidently been missed by HM Inspectorate of Schools (13 ii):

We recorded a number of speakers giving deeply disturbing talks about Jews, Christians and atheists. We found children as young as 11 learning that Hindus have ‘no intellect’ and that they ‘drink cow p***’. And we came across pupils being told that the ‘disbelievers’ are ‘the worst creatures’ and that Muslims who adopt supposedly non-Muslim ways, such as shaving, dancing, listening to music and—in the case of women—removing their headscarves, would be tortured with a forked iron rod in the afterlife.

Beatings (overwhelmingly unprovoked) were also a routine part of the ‘education.’


FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN LUNIS – FORGEDDIT!

In a fresh display of spinelessness in British academia, the London School of Economics (probably with police encouragement) decided to bow to threats of violence if Germany’s anti-Muslim banker, Thilo Sarrazin (q.v.), was allowed to talk (as scheduled for 14 ii) – so TS had to end up addressing a small private group in a hotel (Jerusalem Chronicle, 17 ii). 400 ‘students’ had signed a petition to the LSE demanding Sarrazin be kept off the campus (cf. the 500 produced to demand my suspension in Edinburgh of 1996).

The London School of Extremism had a history of hosting anti-Western Muesli maniacs and a video link to Colonel Gadaffi; but when it was the turn of the pro-Israel and anti-Islamist writer Douglas Murray to come and speak at LSE following Israel’s war in Gaza, the LSE announced that it would be unable to ensure security.

Amazingly, TS had been called ‘anti-Semitic’ [i.e. anti-Jewish] for mentioning peer-group reviewed DNA research by Dr. Karl Skorecki which showed that the same array of chromosomal markers was found in 97 of 106 Cohens tested. This finding (from the Jews’ high-priestly caste) was summarized by critics as TS saying there was ‘a Jewish gene.’


LIBERALS BOUNCE BACK

Britain’s wretched Liberal Democrat (‘[LibDim’) Party, famed for unfaithfulness, sodomy and coprophagia, got its best publicity for years as its star ex-MP Lembit Opik was found having sex ‘mile high’ in a British Airways toilet en route to Tahiti – and not with a 12-yr-old boy but with busty blonde Merily McGivern, 21 [below] (Sun, 19 ii).




FRANCE IN DENIAL

A Paris court found the controversial Le Figaro journalist Éric Zemmour guilty of racism for asserting that Blacks and Arabs had tendencies towards unemployability and criminality (Guardian, 18 ii). French policy was to ignore race, so government agencies were not allowed to collect the statistics that would surely have proved Zemmour correct. EZ himself was a Jewish Berber of Algerian origin.


AUSTRIA SANCTIONS PAEDOPHILIA TO BRING IN ‘RELIGIOUS HATE’ CHARGE

Fining the daughter of a diplomat for saying (at a party meeting) that Muslim jihad and wife-beating were not very nice and that Mahomet had been a paedophile, first having sex with his child-bride Aisha when she was nine, a Vienna judge declared Mahomet not to have been truly a paedophile since he was still having sex with Aisha when she was nineteen. So, as Mark Steyn observed (19 ii), what was all the fuss about Wolfgang Priklopil (who started up with his Natascha Kampusch when she was ten and was still going strong with her eight years later)?...


BOY-BAGGED INTELLECTUAL SEES LIGHT

As Empire- and Scottish Enlightenment-loving top historian Niall Ferguson, 47, prepared to deliver (on Channel 4) his ‘West vs the Rest’ account of civilization (stressing the importance of competition, property, science, medicine, work ethic and democracy – though reserved about IQ), it transpired that he had traded in his ten-year-older (senior Express journalist) wife for the delightful Somali-born anti-Islamisistic star writer and activist (and former Dutch MP), Ayaan Hirsi Ali, 42, showing there was yet hope for the world of the Western intellect.

AMERICA THE UNFAITHFUL

The USA (under Black leadership, thanks to voters wanting to resolve the country’s longstanding slavery problem) demonstrated terminal unreliability by abandoning its 32-year ally in the Middle East, Egypt’s President Mubarak, so that Barry Hussein Obarmy and Hitlary Clinton could swan around flaunting their ‘democratic’ credentials. America’s Patrick Buchanan put matters well (in Taki’s Magazine, 6 ii):

In the last half-century, how many others who cast their lot with us have we abandoned as “corrupt and dictatorial” when they started to lose their grip? Ngo Dinh Diem, Gen. Thieu and Marshal Ky, Lon Nol, Chiang Kai-shek, Marcos, the Shah, Somoza, Pinochet—the list goes on. When we needed them, they were hailed as America’s great friends. When they needed us, we abandoned them in the name of our rediscovered democratic values. “In this world, it is often dangerous to be an enemy of the United States,” said Henry Kissinger, “but to be a friend is fatal.” Hosni Mubarak must be thinking something like that today.

Nor was it just third-world ‘friends’ who had been let down. Apart from America failing to join WWI till 1917 (only when funded by Jewish money arranged by a desperate Britain in return for the Balfour Declaration) and only being forced into the 1939-45 WWII in late-1941 by Hitler loyally backing his Japanese ally and surprisingly declaring war on the USA, America went on to let down Britain and France at Suez in 1956 and actually to bomb the Anglosphere’s longstanding ally, Serbia, in 1996. And all this was as nothing compared to turning the mad Mueslis of Pakistan loose – with funding -- on competitor but 1941-5 ally Russia in Afghanistan of the 1980s. Terminal unrealism, sadly – a sorry if fitting end to two centuries of rebellion against the Crown!


LETTING REALITY LOOSE

Sometimes mediapersons’ phrases in friendly, unguarded contexts are more revealing than an hour of their official teleprompted spin-doctor-written gush. Thus the UK’s LibDim leader Nick Clegg, who usually had to be polite about Labour so as not to upset his left-leaning party members out in the sticks, was overheard referring to Labour’s economic policy (of endless borrowing) as “intergenerational theft.” (Of course, he had lifted the happy phrase from financial magazines.)

And, in the hallowed peecee zone of BBC Radio 4 (6 ii, 16:20), author Tim Butcher – after several minutes of Africa-venerating noises – felt free to mention “the unbelievable systematic sex crimes” of the Congo.


POLITICIZED BANKING TO YIELD ANOTHER CRASH

After America had for ten years obliged its banks to lend to ‘subprime’ Blacks and Hispanics (q.v.), yielding the worldwide property price bubble-and-crash and the banks having to be rescued by semi-nationalization, HMG at least was determined to repeat the exercise, with economic guru Saint Vincent Cable (Minister for Business and famous-for-a-day for predicting economic disaster in 2008) announcing he would bribe bankers with continuing vast bonuses [commonly £7Mp.a. for wankers ooops CEOs] if only they would lend to ‘small firms’ (ClassicFM, 7 ii, 11:00) – anything rather than return to nineteenth-century disciplines whereby banks could not call on state support and made their own casino moves and took the consequences themselves as and when they occasionally lost.


MULTICULTI BACKWARD BOYOS

Though UK PM Cameron was emboldened by Dr Thilo Sarrazin (q.v.) and German Kanzlerine Angele Merkel to issue (at Munich – cf. PM Neville Chamberlain) a few of the criticisms of multiculturalism that could have been found in The g Factor NewsLetter of the 1990s, he could not manage to take HM Opposition along with him: Labour’s wretched Shadow Justice Secretary, Tooting MP ‘Sadiq Khan’ shamefully accused Mr Cameron of “writing propaganda for the English Defence League” (Daily Express, 7 ii); and a string of correspondents to the Grauniad (incl. Red Ken Livingstone, Potty Peter Hain, Prof. Sheikh Mahomet Dody O’Doody Fartwallah (Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol), Rob Berkeley of the Runnynose Trust, Monsignor Bruce Kent [signed twice] and various bloated trade union leaders and drug-wasted ‘musicians’) denounced Daft Dave (9 ii).

Still, nationalists thought Daft Dave was doing a good job, said the Guardian (10 ii): “....his speech has been hailed by the far right. The BNP leader Nick Griffin called it a "huge leap for our ideas into the political mainstream". EDL activists, who constantly echo the established political and media discourse about "extremism", and "Islamism", were jubilant that Cameron had "come round to our way of thinking".”


B*GGERED BRITAIN

1. A FAILED asylum seeker is still in Britain 12 YEARS after he arrived illegally - as officials fear breaching HIS rights. Five attempts to fly Jean Tsikabaka home to the Congo have already been scrapped after he lashed out at security guards escorting him. But staff are banned from sedating the 33-year-old on a flight without his consent for fear THEY could be prosecuted for assault. So far the scandal has cost taxpayers an estimated £500,000 in aborted flights, legal bills, detention and wasted man hours.

A WOMAN who claimed she was gay to avoid being deported has won her latest human rights bid to stay. The 29-year-old asylum seeker told immigration officials she could not return to Uganda because lesbians are persecuted there. But after a judge ruled that he did not believe her, the woman began judicial review proceedings which could cost taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds. More here

2. THE gypsy mum of 12 living in a £1.2million council home admits she is addicted to having babies. Tanya Walsh, 39, is already expecting number 13 with hubby Tom O'Leary, 42, next month. Haringey Council in North London has housed the family in a huge semi in Muswell Hill, heaping misery on posh neighbours. The clan is estimated to cost taxpayers around £72,000 a year. Yesterday, she grinned from an upstairs window puffing cigarettes and playing with her touch-screen mobile phone as The Sun told how neighbours have deluged the council with complaints. They claim the family hurl broken glass, beer cans and used toilet roll into gardens, swear loudly and abuse passers-by. More here

3. After forty years of tearing down the grammar schools, reducing standards in state schools to those of Bulgaria, Britain’s politicians (this time with LibDims in the lead) proposed to complete the wreck of the UK’s universities by introducing quotas of state-comprehensively-miseducated children (20% of whom were still illiterate at age 16) – D.Telegraph, 12 ii, Simon Heffer.


BIAS OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY ‘TRIBE’ DEMONSTRATED

80% American social psychologists were found to call themselves ‘liberal’ – as compared to 20% of the general population -- byJonathan Haidt, U. Virginia (New York Times, 7 ii). Dr Haidt, himself a social psychologist, reported a self-ascribed ‘conservatism’ rate of only 0.3% -- compared to 40% among unselected Americans.


IQ NOT SO UNREAL AFTER ALL

Intelligence testing got a rare favourable mention in the media as a Bristol study gave a 5-IQ point advantage to children who had been given early diets relatively low in ‘junk food’ (AFP, 8 ii). The relation could not be accounted for by maternal education or SES or the general richness of environmental provision for children, so it was acceptable to hypothesize a five-year environmental effect of junk food – so long as no possible upsetting genetic explanation of 20-IQ-point racial differences was mentioned.... (Despite this being a well-funded study of 4,000 families, parental IQ had not been taken.)


LINCOLN WAS RACE REALIST

Although President Abraham Lincoln was revered all over America, not least by Blacks, as The Great Emancipator, fresh evidence emerged (partly from a young researcher at Oxford) that, at least across the years 1857-63, Lincoln had planned for Black emancipation to be accompanied by strong pressure for deportation to Belize and Guyana (Washington Times, 9 ii).

Near the same time, BBC Four TV revealed that a key Republican/Unionist motivation for the Civil War had been not so much to emancipate slaves as to stop the Confederate states extending slavery westwards and thus provide unfair competition with northern White labour then making its way towards California (8 ii, 23:00).


FAR-RIGHT BREAKTHROUGH

Perhaps influenced by PM Cameron’s verbal ditching of multiculturalism (see previous) (a ditching that was warmly welcomed by the new leader of France’s National Front, Marine Le Pen), the Daily Star, a low-life tabloid newspaper (daily circulation .5M) typically concerned mainly with nookie and footie (and owned by Richard Desmond, who also owned the more up-market but equally popular Express), appeared to begin to endorse (and itself be endorsed by) the English Defence League (which had avoided the BNP’s problems with the authorities by opening its membership to all and concentrating solely on resisting Islamistification and Shariah law) (Independent, 10 ii; LeftFootForward, 11 ii).


ACADEMIC FREEDOM STAGGERS ON

The new book by UCL’s Emeritus Professor Barendt (see previous) achieved a little discussion from correspondents at Times Higher – though most were more concerned with the baleful influence of bullying ‘managers’ than with the politicization of university life which had come from academics themselves; and it did get a mention in Laurie Taylor’s jokey tailgunner page of TH (12 ii) for its admission that, because of constraints, most modern academic research was merely ‘inching forward’ {rather like Academic Freedom itself....}.

One extra (and welcome) comment did come my way (12 ii, together with permission to publish it):

I have not read Prof Barendt's book, so I cannot criticise it. I will say, however, that his quoted remark on over-management seems entirely just: almost every academic I know feels oppressed by bumf. More serious, I fear, is a pervasive self-censorship to avoid transgressing 'political correctness.'

In some ways things are not as bad as they were in the '60s and '70s. It is now admitted, for example, that general cognitive abilities are largely genetically determined. But any discussion of possible social or political consequences of this fact is tabu.

When a colleague of mine broke this tabu a while ago, in the mildest way, he was roundly abused. The University formally distanced itself from his views (which, I suppose, it had a right to do) but failed to defend his right to express them, which was disgraceful. Some other colleagues I spoke to admitted that he had been right; but judged it politic to say so only in private.

Universities, of all institutions, should remember George Orwell's wise statement: "Liberty is the right to say what people do not want to hear."

M. Hammerton (Emeritus Professor, University of Newcastle.)

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, R.I.P.

As hip-hop US President Barry betrayed America’s 32-year Arab ally, trillionaire Hosni McRhubarb, the Director of American National Security secured his place in the pantheon of left-wing cretins by a declaration that the Muslim Brotherhood ‘was not religiously motivated by Islam’.In fact, the MB’s founding slogan was "Islam is the solution." Replying to the claim that the MB had no violent and supremacist agenda, Melanie Phillips quipped to Speccie readers (13 ii):

Of course not! They’re really boy scouts! When they say they are at war with America, what they actually mean is that they want to turn their mosques into McDonald’s! When they say they want to Islamise the world, what they actually mean is that they want to introduce a woman’s right to choose and civil union into Mecca! When the Brotherhood in Egypt says it will tear up the peace treaty with Israel, what it actually means is that it wants the recipe for chopped liver!

By contrast, Britain’s beaming ex-PM billionaire Rev. Tony Bliar went on Marr (BBC 1 TV, 13 ii, 09:40) to assure the world that MB had nothing to do with terrorism – even though it had spawned Al-Qaeda. US policy (already suspect from the time of Suez) had been a joke since it allowed backward Pakistan to have nuclear weapons. How Russia laughed, secure in its alliance with non-Arab Iran, and sent more troops to the Kuril Islands, off northern Japan, reckoning American will to project power had been finished off by the country’s Obarmy-electing ‘democrats’!

(Japanese politicians quickly responded by demanding that Japan have its own nuclear weapons – rather than rely on the 65-year-long American hegemony.)


GAY PEECEE

A Home Office adviser, a GP, Dr Hans-Christian Raabe, was sacked because he mentioned that some 30% of child sex abuse was homosexual in nature – although the 30% figure was one actually arrived at by the Home Office’s own research in 1998 (Sunday Mail, 13 ii).

{For twenty years, Britain’s homosexuality fraternity had decided its best policy – as it rather successfully pursued world domination (at least, the bullying of b&b owners in Skye and Cornwall) -- was to deny any ‘paedophilic’ interest in ‘chicken’[under-16s] – a distinction that was accepted by all passably trendy politicians and journalists even though it had no basis in reality.}

BLACK GENES GOOD FOR SOMETHING

Some Black Americans have a gene – ooops, social construct! -- that protects them from heart disease. About a quarter of African-Americans carry the protective gene, and if they are lucky enough to have two copies, one from each parent, their risk of heart disease is 10 times lower that of other Blacks. People with just one copy have five times lower the population risk of heart attacks, blocked arteries and other symptoms of heart disease, a research team reported in the Journal of Human Genetics (Reuters, 27 i).


PAKISTANI ‘PAEDOPHILIA’ BLAMED ON FIRST-COUSIN MARRIAGE

Labour’s Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, Britain’s first Muslim peer, joined Labour ex-Home Secretary Jack Straw and the BNP in blaming the tendency for Pakistani men to groom, rape and prostitute under-age White girls partly on the ethnic practice of forced cousin marriage which trapped the men in loveless relationships to illiterate women from Pakistan having sexually restrictive attitudes (Sunday Mail, 30 i). In both recent cases of Pakistanis in Derby being jailed for beguiling White minors (see previous: PAKI PIMPS ARE RACIST), the men had made such cousin marriages at the behest of their families.

Studies had shown that 55 per cent of British Pakistanis married their first cousins, usually from abroad; and in some areas (e.g. Bradford) the figure was as high as 75 per cent. Apparently, Pakistani men picked on young girls because older White females were too savvy and demanded greater expenditure, health checks, condom use or signs of commitment.

All first-cousin marriages and the resulting progeny, housing costs, education costs, unemployment costs and any health costs of the underage White trash were borne by UK taxpayers – despite government advice that first-cousin marriage was unwise. In America, the practice was illegal in thirty states.

A peecee Home Office spokesperson said in response that more research was necessary....


B*GGERED BRITAIN

1. 400 foreigners were discovered who could not be deported (whether as criminals or illegal immigrants) for fear of infringing their EU-mandated ‘human rights’ to family life. Britain’s traitorous lawyers routinely advised all foreigners facing possible deportation to find themselves a wife and baby asap (Sunday Telegraph, 30 i, Alasdair Palmer).

2. Many prominent MPs supported a move to compel the Church of England to appoint women bishops – contrary to all the two-thousand year traditions of the Orthodox, Catholic and Anglican churches.

3. An all-party parliamentary group set up to investigate Islamophobia had its chairman and vice-chairman resign after it engaged the services of Islamic sympathizers (called ‘iEngage’ and backed by LibDim sodomite [or at least bisexual] Simon Hughes) to provide the group’s secretariat – and issued a Westminster pass to the Islamists’ ‘head of research,’ Shenaz Bunglawala, allowing her to invite guests of her choosing to wander round the House of Commons and its bars ooops tearooms (Sunday Telegraph, 30 i, Andrew Gilligan).

4. Men and women who merely shouted at their partners risked being thrown out of their homes under a sweeping ruling by UK judges (Daily Mail, 27 i). Raising your voice at a husband or wife, or a boyfriend or girlfriend, now counted as ‘domestic violence’ under the landmark ‘Supreme Court’ judgment. The decision also meant that denying money to a partner or criticising them could count as violence and bring down draconian domestic violence penalties from the Yukay’s peecee courts – unabashed despite nine months of CamCo ‘government.’

The ‘Supreme Court’ made its decision in the case of a woman who left her husband’s council flat and then demanded a new council home. She said she left because she had suffered domestic violence – even though her husband had never harmed her physically.

Lady Hale, leading a bench of five’ justices,’ said the definition of violence must change so that a wider range of abusive behaviour would count in law. The decision affected domestic violence and family law which had already given the courts powers to throw someone out of their home if their partner accused them of violent behaviour. But, till 2011, violence always had to mean physical assault. The judges were hearing the case of (Mueslie) Mihret Yemshaw, 35, who said she had been subjected to domestic violence and was entitled to be rehoused under the 1996 Housing Act.

5. ANARCHISTS, prostitutes and assorted socialistified and unionized nutters proposed to wreck the Royal Wedding on April 29th – following up the Regent Street assault on Prince Charles and his mother-figure Camilla.


NOT SO UNITED

Cohesion amongst Britain’s students, busily demanding “F*ck the Fees!” seemed happily in doubt as hooded demonstrators in London screamed “F****** the Tory Jew” at the President of the (invariably leftish) National Union of Students, Aaron Porter, who required police protection to extricate himself from protesters (many of them sporting Socialist Worker placards).


GREEN EAST ASIA

Mongolia’s Genghis Khan was branded by scholars as the greenest invader in history -- his murderous conquests killed so many people that huge swathes of cultivated land returned to forest! The Mongol leader, who established a vast empire between the 13th and 14th centuries, helped remove nearly 700million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, claimed a new study. The killing of 40M people meant that large areas of cultivated land grew thick once again with trees, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (thus telling scholars the story).

And, although GK’s genocidal methods (only exceeded later by those of China’s Mao) were difficult for environmentalists to accept, ecologists were coming to believe it may have been the first-ever case of successful man-made global cooling (Daily Mail, 25 i).

{One of the most striking things about Asian history was the sheer violence of it, far beyond anything the West could show – its deathly technologies of the 20th century achieving little compared to Mao.}


AMERICAN COLLAPSE YIELDS QUICK RESULTS

As batty-Black-boy Barry Obarmy abandoned the United States’ 32-year ally in the Middle East, Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak, the beneficiary of $1.5B of American aid annually, Pakistan’s Taliban-backing military were quick to seize their opportunity and announce escalation of their nuclear arms race with India and Britain (Daily Telegraph, 3 ii, Dean Nelson; Guardian, 3 ii).

Meantime. Egypt’s largely illiterate citizenry provided an ongoing demonstration of Stone Age warfare, hurling rocks and paving slabs at each other in Cairo’s Tahrir Square with no sign of that organization of aggressive effort that had been achieved half a millennium previously by the English and Scots at the battles of Bannockburn and Flodden.

America’s staunch anti-Islamist, David Horowitz, correctly commented: “In suggesting that the Muslim Brotherhood can be a democratic partner in Egypt, the Obama White House has outdone even the Carter administration's destabilization of the Shah of Iran in 1979 and its welcoming of the theocratic fascist Khoumeni as a "saint."”


PSYCHOLOGY’S ULYSSES WINS THROUGH’

My review of Playing with Fire, the new biography of Hans Eysenck by Melbourne left-postmodernist ‘historian of science’ Roderick Buchanan, was published in the journal Intelligence (where my star student Ian Deary, FRSA, was the Book Review editor). A choice quote? OK:

....By 1950, at the feet of Burt, Hans, 34, had established himself as identifying objectively six main independent dimensions of human psychological variation: general intelligence (g), neuroticism (N), extraversion (E), conservatism (C), tender-mindedness (T) and psychoticism (P). With whatever minor complications over the years – leading Eysenck himself to associate P (in his last great 1995 book) with independent-mindedness and genius – Hans pursued his six orthogonal Platonic dimensions (his hundreds of high-grade students at the Maudsley jokingly giving each other the sign of the Cross) through the vagaries of behaviourism (‘reciprocal inhibition,’ ‘protective inhibition,’ ‘incubation effects’ etc.) to the solid ground of hereditarianism, underlying cognitive differences (notably in mental speed) and the acknowledgment of racial differences. .... the mealy-mouthed Buchanan is unable, despite his many feints, to lay a finger on Hans, who emerges through Buchanan’s verbal barrage as the Greek god that he was.

STARK CHOICES

The fork in the road ahead for Muesli-loving lefties was dramatically illustrated by a case in Muslim Bangladesh where a 40-year man was found to have had a lively sexual affair with a cheerfully consenting 14-year girl. In the modern West, the man would be imprisoned for at least five years; and the girl would be given round-the-clock social work and a place at the Open University. In Bangladesh, the girl was whipped to death (dying after 70 of the 100 lashes to which she had been sentenced by local Islamic clerics); and the man still remained to be found (Guardian, 3 ii).

Not to be outdone, CamCo’s PM Cameron ‘declared war on multiculturalism’ (at least according to the Independent, 5 ii). Apparently, Mueslis should shun ‘extremists’ (whom his own party chairwoman claimed not to exist) and be sure to embrace core British values. But what were these values?

‘EQUALITY’ which had been ruining Britain since 1945 (NHS non-discrimination yielding Britain the highest rate of obesity among women in Europe even as Cameron spoke).

‘DEMOCRACY’ which was not on offer (under first-past-the-post) in the great majority of UK constituencies and nowhere with regard to voting Britain out of Europe and the extension of expensive ‘human rights’ to the rest of the world.

‘RULE OF LAW’, of which Britain had far too much already, generating a paradise for lawyers. And

‘FREEDOM OF SPEECH’ which had actually been progressively cancelled by race relations acts (and lately similar acts forbidding all public criticism of non-Christian religions, wymmin, the handicapped, yags etc.) since 1966. Well might Mueslis reply by inviting White Brits to adopt their own values of FAMILY LIFE, LOW TAXATION and PUBLIC SOBRIETY!

Addressing in Munich an audience of great’n’good’n’well-fed Eurobabblers, Daft Dave took trouble to denounce extremists of all kinds – perhaps preparing for a new UK crackdown on the BNP, EDL or kindred remaining freedom fighters.

On the very same day, the EDL (the revamped BNP, sporting Jewish money, a Sikh leader, Afro-Caribbean members and a yag contingent) mounted Britain’s biggest-ever anti-Islamofascisticist protest, with their 3K demonstrators actually outnumbering those of the UAF (aka Anti-Nazi League) (policing cost £800K) (SkyNews, 5 ii).

Fat-salaried bald besuited bespectacled Black beneficiary of multiculturalism, Trevor Phillips (q.v.), appeared cheerily on TV (BBC1, 6 ii, 09:20) to explain he was not worried to have to cut back the staff at his London-based compulsorily taxpayer-funded ‘Equality Commission’ by 40% since (a) he would still have his own job and (b) PeeCee was so entrenched in Britain that mediafolk invariably said the right multiculti thing out of fear, without equality commissioners needing actually to be “in the room.”

However, the pinko Observer yowled like mad, and even believed Daft Dave’s overture to Frau Merkele had ‘split the Coalition’ (6 ii).


NO THEORY, NO ACTION

While the ‘anti-authoritarian’ socialists and ‘Muslim Brothers’ of low-IQ Egypt failed to get their act together (the Mueslis hoping the socialists would do their dirty work to international acclaim before they finally took over), the British right was equally divided, with fear and loathing between Thatcherites, UKIP, BNP and new-boy-on-the-block EDL (due to bring 3K anti-Muesli protesters to Luton, rather encouraged by the BBC which hoped for an all-purpose police crackdown on the right).

In all these sorry cases, there was no racial or eugenic analysis – let alone any mention of the key variable of IQ or even its corollary of academic achievement. Indeed, what all these rabbles had in common was ‘anti-racism’ – with even the Muesli Brothers unwilling to admit publicly that they hated Jews.

{Sadly, the [affirmatively?] Harvard-educated Obarmy hated both Churchill and Thatcher, not to mention selective education of the kind from which he had benefited, so was unlikely to steer the crazed rabbles of ‘the modern world’ to a safe haven – which would probably have to be provided eventually by Mr Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.}


BRITISH ACADEMIA GETTING “SHY” – PROF.

At a belated ‘launch’ for his long-awaited book, Academic Freedom (published 10 x 2010 by Hart, Oxford – see previous), donnish author Eric Barendt relieved himself of a small fart ooops conclusion (Times Higher, 3 ii, ‘Managerial era ‘threatens’ academic freedom,’ + subsequent correspondence): apparently, Professor Barendt believed that academic freedom in the UK was threatened by the "managerial culture of universities, the quality assurance and research assessment culture, and the pressures on academics to produce safe scholarly articles that shy away from the big questions and only move the argument forward by an inch".

{No examples of actual intimidation were mentioned in Times Higher; though, since I had been sacked from Edinburgh LUniversity in 1997 for racism, IQism, sexism and anti-paedohysteria, several British academics had gone strangely quiet about such topics: Geoffrey Sampson (U. Sussex), Frank Ellis (U.Leeds), David Coleman (U. Oxford), David Canter (U.Liverpool), Satoshi Kanazawa (London School of Economics) and Armand Leroi (Imperial College London); and even Emeritus Professor Peter Saunders (ex-U.Sussex), though denounced publicly as a ‘racist’ (by the egalitarian authors of The Spirit Level, see previous), was strangely reluctant to mention race and IQ in the same sentence.}


HAITI “A PROBLEM”!

The Dominican Republic deported thousands of illegal Haitian immigrants in January, sowing fear among Haitians living in the country and prompting accusations its government was using a cholera outbreak as a pretext for a crackdown (AmRen, 1 ii). In the largest campaign in years to target Haitians living illegally in the DR, soldiers and immigration agents set up checkpoints and conducted neighborhood sweeps, detaining anyone without papers and booting them out of the country.

Hundreds of thousands of Haitians lived at least part-time in the DR, enduring frequent discrimination and the constant fear of being deported. A cholera epidemic in Haiti that had killed at least 4,000 people and sickened 200,000 had made matters worse. Said the DR’s immigration chief (with a daring that no US official would be likely to emulate), “No (other) country in the world has a border with Haiti. No country in the world has a Haitian problem like the Dominican Republic has.” {Americans and Brits would also have remarked that the DR actually found it possible to deport illegal immigrants and to defend its border.}


RACE REALISM re SPICS, WOPS ‘N’ DAGOES

Though the peecee BBC cringingly apologized to Mexico for its Top Gear presenters having quipped that Mexicans were feckless and lazy and had a national dish that resembled ‘vomit with cheese on top,’ the Telegraph’s Simon Heffer was made of sterner stuff, volunteering (5 ii): “Mexico is a bandit state rapidly turning into a failed one. It is under the control of drugs cartels. It has a stratospheric murder rate and most of its police are corrupt. If it were a car, it would be a 1970s British Leyland rustbucket that spent most of its time on the hard shoulder before visiting the crusher.” To which a Torygraph correspondent helpfully added material from Woodbridge’s 1831 Rudiments of Geography: Turks are “bigoted, ignorant and vicious” and the Portuguese are “superstitious, haughty and revengeful.”
