“I would not get out of bed unless a job offered three times as much as what I get on welfare.” Such was admitted to be the attitude of plenty of his young constituents in Birkenhead (near Liverpool) by Labour MP Frank Field (a longstanding – though unsuccessful -- advocate of welfare reform) (BBC Radio 4, 1 vii, 13:20).
{Fortunately, such Britoid attitudes reflected opportunism rather than genuine socialistification: only 15% of ‘public service’ workers obeyed their trade unions’ calls for strike ‘action’ on June 30th – see previous,
DINOSAURS RETURN
Britain pretty clearly awaited the smack of firm government – which CamCo needed to supply by limiting unemployment benefit to 3 years per life, limiting disability benefit likewise, limiting subsidized council house tenancy to two-parented families with children under 12, limiting the state’s contributions to its employees’ long-distance pensions, limiting the ‘right to strike’ to cases where 60% of a workforce wanted to use it and conscripting all long-term unemployed, disabled, homeless and criminal into a Humanitarian Task Force for Africa in which they could regain self-respect and work habits....

BLACK LYING DRAMATICALLY EXPOSED
In a hilarious development in the top-profile Strauss-Kahn arrest for rape in New York (q.v.), US prosecutors admitted that DSK’s Black chambermaid/housekeeper accuser, 32, had “repeatedly” lied in her dealings with police, as she had in her initial plea for asylum from Guinea (Sun, 1 vii). The woman, a single-parent mother already suspected of prostitution by DSK’s defence, had thus turned out to be a hopelessly unreliable witness, so DSK was freed (though without his passport as prosecutors continued to weigh up possibilities). The New York Times reported (1 vii):
The housekeeper admitted to prosecutors that she lied about what happened after the episode on the 28th floor of the hotel. She had initially said that after being attacked, she had waited in a hallway until Mr. Strauss-Kahn left the room; she now admits that after the episode, she cleaned a nearby room, then returned to Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s suite to clean there. Only after that did she report to her supervisor that she had been attacked.
Prosecutors disclosed that the woman had admitted lying in her application for asylum from Guinea; according to the letter, she “fabricated the statement with the assistance of a male who provided her with a cassette recording” that she memorized. She also said that her claim that she had been the victim of a gang rape in Guinea was also a lie.
The woman also acknowledged that she had misrepresented her income to qualify for her housing, and had declared a friend’s child — in addition to her own daughter — as a dependent on tax returns to increase her tax refund.
Other media sources reported suspicions that the woman had been involved in drug trafficking, resulting in large sums in her bank account from well-known drug dealers. Whether the woman would herself face prosecution (for wasting police time and for fraud, at least) remained unclear. But she had provided an unforgettable demonstration of the Black tendency to dishonesty (itself a sine qua non of most criminality, in Whites as well as Blacks).
What French socialists made of America’s process of ‘justice’ (based apparently on trusting the word of just one Black female) was mainly unprintable. But France’s popular left-wing philosopher, Bernard-Henry Lévy (BHL), spoke of a noble man who had been the victim of a "spiral of horror and calumny". He told Le Parisien that DSK had been "lynched" by the "friends of minorities" in the US. BHL complained that because the victim was "poor and immigrant" she had been presumed innocent, and because DSK was "powerful" he had been presumed guilty (Observer, 3 vii).
The Black maid remained the beneficiary of legally provided anonymity; but her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, fired the first shots in the forthcoming PR war by declaring that his client would shed her right to privacy and soon go to the media to tell her story. He then repeated her version of events in front of hundreds of journalists and live on TV, with references to her "bruised vagina" and a description of how she spat Strauss-Kahn's semen all over the floor and walls of his room after the alleged assault. (DSK insisted that sex had been consensual.)
Experts compared the situation with the infamous Duke University rape case in 2006, when young, White, student lacrosse players were accused of rape by a poor, black stripper they had hired for a party. The allegations eventually collapsed as the accuser's testimony was shown to be false and it led to the disbarment of the district attorney who had brought the case.
WESTERN LUNACY EXPOSED
In California, a loopy single-parent mother, Nadya Suleman, had been allowed to have fourteen fatherless children (all by IVF from the same sperm-donor father) whom she found “disgusting animals” but nevertheless graciously minded at state expense – at least three were ‘handicapped’ (Daily Mail, 1 vii, ‘I hate my babies, they disgust me’). {Roll on Islam, backed by China!...}
The g Factor A MUSEUM PIECE – FOR BETTER OR WORSE
From June 13th, The g Factor (1996/2000) and one or two other scribblings by and about me began appearing on the web at ‘The Museum of Learning – A Virtual Museum of Knowledge’ Whether this would result result in anyone actually reading and discussing TgF (available free, gratis and for nothing thanks to Philippe Gouillou) remained to be seen....
OUT-OF-CONTROL BLACKS RIOT AGAINST WHITES
Not content with having a Black President, America’s young Black males (doubtless frustrated by their totally unsuitable unstreamed ‘education’) increasingly took to rampaging in large numbers (organizing via Twitter and Facebook) through White streets, beaches, parks and stores, stealing and creating mayhem as they went (putting the young rioters of bankrupted Greece to shame....) – e.g. (as one of scores of cases in 2011, largely unreported by MSM) Peoria [Illinois] Chronicle, 26 vi
BLACKS PREFER WHITE RULE
A poll of 1,008 Jamaicans for The Gleaner newspaper was conducted over four days by U.S. pollster Bill Johnson( Yahoo!News, 28 vi). Sixty percent of those surveyed believed the island would have been better off if it had remained a U.K. colony. Seventeen percent said the island would have been worse off as a British colony; and 23 percent said they did not know. The poll had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Jamaica had achieved independence from Britain in 1962. Since then, the island had struggled with high crime, a hefty debt burden and inefficient government.
HOPE FOR CULCHA VULTURES
Lurv could at least begin to rescue a violent (indeed, serial-killing), dyslexic, bisexual, maniacally jealous young French gypsy from his psychopathy. Such was the splendid message of EIFF’s packed-house production of ‘American Translation’ in which penis-flashing psychopath ‘Christopher’ got his gal and slowed down his murder rate – eventually even declining to murder his niftily-nippled number’s father despite being sorely provoked (admittedly the businessman dad had enough sense to leave before Christopher’s rage reached final fever pitch).
No psychologist could have felt unmoved at this documentation of psychopathic sexual conquest even if the film made it go on for a few days longer than typically happened in real life – the film had the happy couple driving in a dormobile for a week around the wastelands of northern France, bumping off homosexual male prostitutes after threesomes as they went, the murders ‘solidifying the bond between them.’
Thankfully the cops (headed by a de rigeur saintly Black) caught up with the hard-scr*wing murderers in the end. Post-film, the director explained the film was based on several individual case histories he had been able to collect. Which was fine, except that my own three-year acquaintance with the cream of England’s psychopaths never once required me to consider a single case of salvation by love.
Indeed, I rather concluded from my hundreds of hours of interviewing cons that love was a happy luxury for the high-IQ and that the low-IQ were generally better off with obedience. Love works if you’re reasonably intact – and ‘Christopher’ had good sexual skills, knowing the importance of nipple-squeezing; but without substantial psychological infrastructure the effect is slight. Still, it was good to see EIFF putting on yet another film without a left-wing message (see previous).
Yes, I did come across several cases of girls falling for a ‘strong’ but unfortunately psychopathic man. One was an Italian who had made a marriage of convenience (for UK citizenship) to a largely genial fat English lorry driver who then became so mad about her that he would drive his lorry at high speeds (racing the cops in deliberately daredevil escapades) to get back to her for sex, which he needed at least thrice daily (but six times was his ideal).
Even once he was imprisoned for seven years for causing death by dangerous driving, she regularly turned up for prison visits – a rarity, with HMP Grendon being twenty miles from the nearest railway station. Another was a charming, chubby and orgasmic Edinburgh lawyerette who, not content with having a son by a several-times-imprisoned psychopath who had often beaten her, hooked up with a paranoid and jealous E’bro lawyer/solicitor who reduced her to a wreck within five years, bankrupted himself and her by fraudulent wheezes and finally and sensationally ended putting both of them in jail (E’bro cops yanked them off a plane just as they tried to escape to the Argentine).
ENTERTAINING IDEALISM
The West’s unimaginative support for the loony and jihadist-backed ‘Arab Spring’ achieved new levels of hilarity as a Nato commander (Admiral Locklear, Naples – D. Fairygraph, 26 vi) admitted that his outfit’s objective in Libya was to assassinate the LSE-backing Colonel Gadawfu (the victor in 100 days of Nato attrition); and as reports emerged of the West sending the Benghazi rebels munitions (via Qatar) – both wheezes going even further than Nato’s bombing of Gadawfu’s lorries and grandchildren, beyond the UN-permitted ‘no fly zone’ and at a cost to Britain alone of £1M per day.
Likewise the BBC’s idealism aspired to new ludicrousness as the Corporation turned its airwaves over to Burma’s Ang Sang WhoShee who had sacrificed her Oxford husband and children to no conspicuous love of country or even of any of its warring ethnic factions nor even to any plan as to what Burma’s 50-yr-ruling Generals should actually do (they already allowed her life, TV, visitors and enough liberty to give Reith Lectures on the Beeb).
Was demakrazy the objective of these money- and time-wasters? What, the power to destroy education,* tolerate third-world immigrant slave labour and bankrupt one’s country for a generation by enforced lending to subprimes as the West’s politicians had done?!
Most Libyans and Burmese would have surely preferred serious Chinese investment – as Greece seemed likely to enjoy while the peecee-wasted Germans were disinclined to seize their fresh opportunity of European empire.
* The universities of England were due to get another kicking from CamCo as they and the Government competed in conspicuous idealism – to take in as many down-and-out comprehensively wrecked teens as possible. But it was already too late. There were already 83 applicants for every job that ‘graduates’ wanted (a 25% increase on 2010).
Negotiating the Brands’ Book Festival outings up by E’bro Castle, the nice English salesgirl told me she had a degree in Eng.Lit. from E.LU. and an M.Phil. top-up to boot. “What’s the package worth?” I asked. “Well, you can get a job in a bookstore,” she replied.
(I was reminded of a 1980s economics graduate from E.LU. telling me “You can get a job as a bank clerk”; and of a 1990s clinical psychology M.Phil. explaining her work as “We chiefly do committee work as to how to increase the number of clinical psychologists.” Mercifully my own star students from ancient history are all OK, two of them having had Chairs, one an E’bro Festival performer, and all of them stinking rich and doing their eugenic duties.)
HOMEGROWN PAEDS OUTDONE BY ‘ASIANS’
More than 2,000 young victims of ‘grooming’ (90% female, for cheap sex) were identified since January 2008 -- but they were likely to be just a small proportion of those affected, said taxpayer-bountied geniuses of the Labour-largessed ‘Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre’ (CEOP) (D. Quislingraph, 20 vi).
Among the findings of CEOP's five-month inquiry was that 20% of the perpetrators of grooming identified and 26% of actual child abusers were of Asian [i.e. Srindopakeshi – in fact, in this as in many cases, Pakistani] origin even though such ‘Asian’ males only constituted 1% of the UK population (Guardian, 29 vi); but CEOP insisted with peecee propriety that there was no ethnic link.
Children who went missing or plainly ran away from their [often disgusting single-parent council house] homes were found to be particularly vulnerable to grooming; but whether they did better under ‘Asian’ pimping than under British social workers or homegrown paedophiles was not a matter on which research was allowed.
LUNISEX LUNACY
The Land of Oz, once famed for its traditional Irish Catholic values, proverbially separating men from women even at parties in their own homes, found its modernizing attempts sent up as a leading fashion designerette claimed she had been raped in the lunisex toilet of the top Sydney Ivy Club by a chap who ‘used his strength to undress her’ – though she admitted to putting up little resistance and to having been ’tipsy’ at the time.
The same kind of problem had been demonstrated in the film ‘American Translation’ (q.v.) where the serially murderous ‘Christopher’ had first enamoured his amply-aureolaed rich-girl partner-to-be-in-crime by French-kissing her (at some length|) in a Parisian lunisex lav.
{Lunisex pissoirs had been introduced in the oh-so-artistic Guggenheim Museum in New York of 2005; but Brits had battled hard against New Labour to keep lunisex wards out of the NHS.}
FAXALIFE FOR LAWYERS AND BUSINESSMEN
A fine summary of the latest evidence on the importance of the g factor in predicting job success, with admission of racial differences and accompanied by a sustained plea that businessmen should be able to use IQ tests in selection without facing fearsome penalties, was provided by neurologist-turned-lawyer Professor Amy Wax (U. Pennsylvania Law School) in a paper available here but due for publication in the William & Mary Law Review in the autumn.
Whether AW was prepared for the controversy that her major paper would inevitably provoke remained unclear – she had avoided all reference to Art Jensen, Phil Rushton and indeed The g Factor (1996/2000), presumably hoping to mollify the left. Her main bag was to say Blacks could blame past, but not present ‘racism’ for their woes’ – e.g. here:
Wax is well aware that past discrimination created black-white disparities in education, wealth, and employment. Still, she argues that discrimination today is no longer the “brick wall” obstacle it once was, and that the main problems for poor and working-class blacks today are cultural ones that they alone can fix. Not that they alone should fix —Wax is making no moral argument— but that they alone can fix.
Still, Wax’s scholarly re-assertion of the centrality of low IQ was certain to terrify a ‘liberal’-left that had thought it had buried the London School. And she was Jewish, which might spare her the more intellectual forms of left-wing vindictiveness.
INTRINSIC FEMALE RACISM
A new study suggested that, depending on where they are in their menstrual cycles, women have very varying reactions towards strange men. At their most fertile, women are more suspicious of men they see as outside of their social or racial group and who they perceive as being physically threatening. This meant that prejudice could, at least partially, be a by-product of biology (Huffington Post, 29 vi). The Michigan researchers found that when they were at their most fertile, women (especially if they said they found males ‘threatening’) showed increased bias against men belonging to a group different from their own.
THE STUPIDITY OF SPORT (AND SOME ART)
As dour tennis champ Roger Federer’s reign was savagely interrupted by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (26, having a Congolese father) coming back at Wimbledon from a straightforward two-sets-down to an easy-enough 5-2 victory, Tsonga emerged as not only a remarkable sportsman but as a good-natured type who still modestly referred to Swiss Federer as “the best in the world.”
But could Tsonga explain the remarkable turn-around in the match? Had he discovered Federer had a weak forehand, so played to it? That F didn’t like being brought to the net? Nope! “I just found I was playing better,” Tsonga told the BBC. One was reminded of what art critics not uncommonly say about painters (also a group in which IQ is of little importance compared to years of practice and experience), that painters’ accounts of their own achievements are largely uncomprehending when not outright incomprehensible.
{Fast bowlers in cricket are often similarly inarticulate as to how they found or did not find ‘a length.’ As to soccer stars, they are seldom even interviewed since their accounts of their achievements are so embarrassingly bad – as well as containing much boasting and many swear words.}
{Was this the reason that the hyper-rationalists of Tsonga’s homeland, France, gave his victory little attention in their press (30 vi), preferring to dwell on a government reshuffle, the (doubtless well-ransomed) release by the Taleban of two French journalists who had madly gone to explore Afghastliland, and the sex life of Prince Albert of Monaco?}
PEACENIK SUPERSTAR CONVERTED TO REAGAN
Beatles’ leader John Lennon had acquired US-Republican sympathies at least a year before his death (murdered for his former apostasy) in 1980. According to the superstar’s last personal aide, the one-time pacifist author of ‘Imagine’ became fed up with Pres. Jimmy Carter and would argue with socialists whenever he had the chance to do so in private (Toronto Sun, 30 vi).
{Likewise, UK popstar Roger Daltrey gave an interviewe attacking Labour for importing semi-slaves to the detriment of what remained of the British working class.}
DINOSAURS RETURN
As the useless socialistified ‘teachers’ of England managed a day’s strike, depriving a million families of child-minding services, it emerged that TWO ugly hate-filled women leading the teachers' strike were left-wing extremists who put their twisted politics ahead of kids' education (Sun, 30 vi). NUT general secretary Christine Blower, a former Socialist Party candidate, once kept her daughter off school in protest at national curriculum tests; and union president Nina Franklin had denied that Labour-run Britain had built up a budget deficit, i. e. was bankrupt; and she had and pledged to lead teachers in their "fight" with the Government.
Blower climbed the ladder with the backing of the Socialist Workers Party -- the anarchic mob on parade during London’s 2010 student riots. Franklin prided herself on being a dinosaur because "they ruled the Earth for 160million years" Both believed in left-wing policies advocated by former miners' leader of the 1980s, Arthur Scargill -- and repeatedly rejected by the British public.
Members of the NUT, as well as those from the smaller ATL teaching union, were staging the walkout -- joining 100,000 civil servants in a dispute over public sector pensions which the bubble-loving vote-buying Labour Party had inflated along with state sector salaries and the bonuses of the likes of high-lending future-mortgaging RBS banker ‘Sir’ Fred the Shred Goodwin and his cronies.
IQ PREDICTS NATIONAL PROSPERITY
Further confirmation of Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen’s findings in their IQ and the Wealth of Nations came from an economist at George Mason University, Garrett Jones, who approvingly summarized and updated L&V’s work and added his own hypotheses that higher-IQ countries were more likely to grow their savings, show co-operation and encourage competition (Asian Developmental Review, vi 2011). Correctly, Jones noted that {obsessed with the footling panaceas of socialism and capitalism}, “economists have almost entirely overlooked the evidence that persistent differences in national cognitive skills are likely to have impacts on the economy.”
