LESBIAN RAPIST FAILS TO SATISFY
The round of apologies and resignations from Terrible Annie Teriba (q.v.), the Nigerian-parented Oxford LGBT student who had forced herself on two or three ‘victims’ in the course of NUS conferences, was reported not to have worked (Sunday Mail, 18 x).
Instead, the apparent victims accused the lustful and lively Annie of not going far enough in her confession, which they had only agreed could avoid the word ‘rape’ so as not to alert police. The apparent victims said on a blog: “The survivor [of Annie’s latest sally] would like it to be known that Annie Teriba committed two counts of rape in the most recent incident her statement refers to. Let’s be clear: Annie Teriba is a rapist.”
The students claimed they had confronted Ms Teriba and urged her to make her apology, as well as stepping down from her student posts. And they claimed she had been ‘narcissistic, obstructive and harmful’ through the process of drafting a statement about her actions.
{So PC Plod was after all to get his chance to explore the arcane pieties of the LGBT world, to find out what exactly was involved in ‘lesbian rape,’ and to ascertain the justification for giving LGBT activists a pass on rape charges that would never have been given to men....
That Annie was a prominent leftist and ‘anti-racist’ – especially campaigning to have all statues of colonialist Cecil Rhodes removed from Oxford University – would make such an undertaking even more fun.}
NOBEL ECONOMIST BLASTS AID TO AFRICA
As Edinburgh-born evidence-oriented Princeton professor Angus Deaton was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in microeconomics, it turned out he held the ‘right-wing’ view that giving financial assistance from overseas to poor countries was useless beyond a certain low level – and indeed increased corruption and undermined democracy. The rapid economic development of China and India, he observed, had occurred without the copious aid showered on Africa.
{Of course, countries already aided over-sufficiently by the West (out of White guilt and wanting minerals) would have tended to be Black and to have a low IQ; and it was not clear whether such basic factors had been considered – rather confirming the 25-year-old judgment of Nature that economics was not a science, a judgment recently rehearsed approvingly in the Guardian (11 x, Joris Luyendijk, ‘Don’t let the Nobel prize fool you. Economics is not a science’; 14 x, Julia Bird et al., ‘Economics may be dismal, but is it a science?’).}
SOCIALISM SELF-DESTRUCTS
That Britain’s chief vehicle of socialism had, under its new leader ‘Jezzwecan’ Corbyn, committed itself not only to welfarism, pacifism, republicanism, nationalization, the comprehensive schools, Hamas and the IRA but also to being run by the intellectually mediocre was outlined in the Spectator (24 x, Harry Mount [Bullingdon Club]). Yes, the party of Harold Wilson (1st from Jesus), Denis Healey (1st from Balliol) and the Miliband brothers (1st and 2nd from Corpus Christi [William McDougall’s Oxford college]) had dumbed down big time:
….Under Corbyn, the Labour party — once the clever party — has had a brain transplant. It’s out with the Oxbridge and Harvard graduates with first-class degrees; in with the red-brick university graduates.
Or, in Corbyn’s case, a non-graduate. Corbyn got two Es at A-level at Adams’ Grammar School in Newport, Shropshire. He did a year of trade union studies at the North London Polytechnic before dropping out. Corbyn is the first Labour leader not to go to university since James Callaghan — and Callaghan only didn’t go because his family, unlike the prosperous Corbyns, couldn’t afford it.
Corbyn, perhaps because of his low-grade education, has largely replaced the Oxbridge elite — who ran the Labour party under Ed Miliband — with red-brick alumni. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, left school at 17 and was later a mature student at Brunel and Birkbeck universities. Tom Watson, the deputy leader, was at Hull University, as were Rosie Winterton, the shadow chief whip, and Jon Trickett, shadow minister for the cabinet office.
Any who doubted the involvement of intelligence/IQ in all this were advised by Speccie correspondent ‘RM’:
"....don't think that all or even most Oxbridge graduates are from a "bubble". Most of them are pretty normal people, and the only thing they have in common is that they are very intelligent, at least in their field. I'd rather have intelligent leaders than stupid ones, and Corbyn with his two E grades and failed degree is rather too far below the "stupid" line for me to be comfortable with him as PM."
OUTSPEAKER FOR EURO’HOTTIES’
That there were still some robust and realistic politicos in the E.U. emerged from Czechland (Breitbart, 18 x):
Outspoken left-wing Czech President Milos Zeman, 72, was asked if he thought new migrants from the Middle East would respect Czech laws. “Of course not,” he replied.
“Unfaithful women will be stoned and thieves will have their hands cut off, and we’ll be deprived of women’s beauty, because they’ll be covered from head to toe. “This would obviously be an advantage for some women, but they’re few and far between.”
Correspondents agreed with the President – not least with his suggestion that the native White girls of the ‘Visegrad’ countries are a pretty hot lot. (The Czech Republic is part of the Eastern, so-called Visegrad group of countries – along with Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – who strongly resisted the introduction of the EU’s forced migration quotas in September.)
In nearby Romania, an education ministry official – apparently wanting to make the best of his country’s female assets – mocked Islam by telling a conference that schools should teach girls to walk provocatively, with “chest out, bottom out – let the boys faint!”
It's worth adding the requiem for Europe by that other outspeaker, Victor Orbán, the President of Hungary, who accused Germany’s Mutti Merkel of “moral imperialism” as she sought to bring at least 3M Mueslis into the EU (Guardian, 24 x) :
"For us today, what is at stake is Europe, the lifestyle of European citizens, European values, the survival or disappearance of European nations, and more precisely formulated, their transformation beyond recognition. Today, the question is not merely in what kind of a Europe we would like to live, but whether what we understand as Europe will exist at all."
Sadly, such clarity of vision was not in evidence at Gothenburg, Sweden, where a masked sword-wielding ‘Star Wars’ killer at a Muesli-immigrant school had brought himself to believe he was following the precepts of Hitler – whose better-known ‘final solution to the Jewish problem’ had been lauded, if not originally inspired in 1941 by the Nazi-loving Muesli mufti of Palestinian Jerusalem.
Still, ‘westward look – the land is bright.’ America’s Pat Buchanan (20 x) on that other unashamed admirer of the female form, ‘The Donald’:
"After months of speeches and TV appearances, he is a far more disciplined campaigner and communicator. In a year when a huge slice of the nation is disgusted with political correctness, wants to dethrone the establishment, wipe the slate clean and begin anew with someone fresh, Trump is in the pole position.
Yes, perhaps a Scottish Presbyterean would rid the West of its latter-day religion of PeeCee and restore a version of communal Christianity before rampaging Islam could establish itself....
Certainly, The Donald had begun to muse openly about closing a few mosques and preventing the return of ‘Americans’ who went to the Levant to fight jiheadically for ISIC.
DISCRIMINATING RACISM
Sympathy for Donald Trump’s negativity about America’s millions of Hispanic immigrants came from Marissa Abrajano, an award-winning political scientist who had written extensively about Latino politics throughout her career. Her latest book with co-author Zoltan Hajnal, White Backlash: Immigration, Race, and American Politics, provided an analysis of the impact that the growing Latino population was having on White political attitudes. The authors looked at the stark reality of how voters were hardening their positions on policies based on their views of Latino immigrants, attitudes that the authors said did not carry over to Asian-American immigrants.
Meanwhile, Hispanic immigration continued to surge – e.g to 5K children in September, double the rate for September 2014. Migrants were issued by border guards with a ‘permit to appear’ which allowed them to stay in the USA while awaiting a court hearing; but in practice 85% never ‘appeared’ and many posted photos of their permisos on the net to show relatives in Mexico how easy it would be for them too to set up in the land of the free (Washington Times, 21 x).
NEO-EUGENICS
A blood test allowing couples to test for thousands of genetic flaws which they could pass on to a baby started being sold in Britain (AmRen, 25 x). Hundreds of prospective parents had already bought the test which told them if a combination of their genes put them at risk of having a child with an incurable disease. The compatibility test, which costs £1,800, checks for 4,500 mutations and can flag up more than 600 hereditary diseases, including some that kill within the first years of life. Results come back within 30 days.
If couples are told they are at risk of having an ill child they can decide whether to adopt, have IVF treatment or go ahead and get pregnant naturally. The Spanish firm iGenomix, which developed the test, said pre-pregnancy genetic screening could soon become as commonplace as ultrasound scans and cut the number of children born with diseases like muscular dystrophy from one in 25 to one in 100,000. Some 8% of couples were thought to be incompatible. Screening for autism, deafness, Alzheimers, diabetes and low IQ was not yet available, but one couple in 625 could be advised they were at risk of having a child with cystic fibrosis
