GENES PREDICT SUCCESS
Re-invention of the wheel continued by university staff needing a grant – with predictable though otherwise perfectly satisfactory results. See below:
Association for Psychological Science, June 6, 2016:
Psychological characteristics link genes with upward social mobility, according to data collected from almost 1000 individuals over four decades. The data suggest that various psychological factors play a role in linking a person’s genetic profile and several important life outcomes, including professional achievement, financial security, geographic mobility, and upward social mobility.
The study, led by psychological scientist Daniel W. Belsky of Duke University School of Medicine, builds on previous research indicating a genetic continuum that predicts individuals’ educational achievement. In the earlier study, the Social Science Genetic Association Consortium examined millions of genetic variants in more than 100,000 people and found that these variants could be aggregated and turned into a “polygenic score” that was linked with educational attainment"
Political correctness forbade mention of whether the linking “psychological characteristics” chiefly involved the g factor....
LEFT GETS PHYSICAL
Desperate at the inexorable takeover of the low-class White votes which the left had assumed to be its own, even the holy Huffington Post allowed advocacy of violence against the ‘fascism’ of The Donald (and equally of British Brexiteers and Continental ‘far right’ patriots). See below:
Jesse Benn, Huffington Post, June 6, 2016:
"The rise of Donald Trump has exposed the frightening underbelly of America’s foulest tendencies. ....Trump has not just flagrantly violated the typical boundaries of political discourse, his candidacy is linked to multiple instances of violence. It shouldn’t be a surprise that opposition to him has responded in kind. Yet, a lot of people seem shocked and appalled at this perfectly logical reaction.
In the face of media, politicians, and GOP primary voters normalizing Trump as a presidential candidate—whatever your personal beliefs regarding violent resistance—there’s an inherent value in forestalling Trump’s normalization. Violent resistance accomplishes this. In spite of this, such resistance is apparently more offensive and unacceptable to societal norms and liberal sensibilities than the nastiness being resisted in the first place. ....Violence that takes place at Trump rallies –- in support or opposition –- is a reaction to the tone he’s set, and the blame for it should land primarily on his shoulders"
KILLINGS’ CAUSAL CLUSTER CENTRED ON ISLAM
As 49 dancing homosexuals were despatched and another few score injured in the early morning at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, commentators advanced their own favourite causal factors. Donald Trump blamed radical Islam; the Guardian’s Owen Jones – a young yag himself – blamed homophobia; President Obarmy blamed lax US gun laws; some blamed mental illness (for the shooter was a manic-depressive) and drug use (the attacker used steroids; and some blamed PeeCee (the attacker’s craziness and homophobia had come to the attention of his employer (a security company – the UK-based ‘G4S’) and the FBI but no action was taken because the attacker was a Muslim.
In truth, all these factors were probably involved in multiplicative interaction with each other and easily so since they covary in the general population. But the central factor was surely Islam: attacker Omar Mateen was a Muslim who sometimes expressed extreme views and claimed membership of Hezbollah and even phoned police to tell of his allegiance to ISICK; his father was a Muslim who, despite living in New York, was a contender for the presidency of his native Afghanistan; Mateen’s wife – whom he beat daily – was a Muslim who made no effort to report his peculiarities to police.
Moreover, whatever the other causal complexities, Islam was plainly partly causal directly to homophobia, intolerance, psychopathic violence and wife abuse. No wonder The Donald was quick to observe that the Orlando horror was a fresh sign of Muesli ‘invasion without uniforms; and that Hillary Clinton’s declining to denounce radical Islam showed she must herself be “crazy.”
Yet ‘liberal’ apologists for Islam threw themselves tirelessly into insisting MSM attribute the outrage – the worst against yags since the Holocaust -- to nothing but homophobia.
Contradicting any conventional of that sort, it transpired that Mateen was well known to be himself a homosexual; and he had trawled for partners at the club where he would go on the rampage and also online.
The murderous antipathy of Western Mueslis to yags was confirmed as five Allahmaniacs went on trial in Luton, UK, for urging coreligionists to join and fight for ISICK. A speech was recorded by an undercover officer referred to as Kamal, who spent 20 months infiltrating the Muesli group and recording their meetings (Times, 16 vi).
One Mohammed told the group: “When the parliament are making laws and having Gay Pride today in the UK, Gay Pride, where’s the pride in being gay? There’s no pride in being gay.” He added: “Alhamdulillah [praise to be God] the people haven’t caught you, or it’s high building for you.”
CHANGE YOU CAN (NOW) BELIEVE IN
As Brexit maintained for a week a 6% lead in UK opinion polls, the ‘liberal’-left’s darling columnist, Italian-homed Polly Toynbee cracked: the patriotic White working class on whom Polly et al. had relied for tradition-respecting votes (even as the likes of Polly and Owen Jones enthused about such unlikely bedfellows as Islam, feminism, disablism and yaggery were to be denounced as foolish neo-Nazis who would wreck the comfy world of peecee piety that ‘anti-Nazis’ had inflicted on British public life while keeping business sweet by letting foreign slave labour stream in.
More intellectually, Polly began to admit the major re-alignment of Western politics into ‘national welfarism’ vs ‘peecee globalism’ long foreseen in this blog. Guardian, 14 vi. See below:
"This is the sound of Britain breaking. Here ends our “moderate, tolerant” self-image. Imagine Brexit wins and two years later prime minister Boris Johnson is still embroiled in quarrelsome EU exit talks. ....Barking and Nottingham people will see no change, same migrants, same sense of powerlessness. Recession-hit, facing worse cuts, voters won’t blame themselves for their own folly. Old problems are unresolved – an economy reliant on City and property bubbles, low skills, low productivity, atrophied public services, hopes raised and dashed. [Michael] Gove and Johnson risk losing control of the furies they have unleashed.
As high-status Ford jobs are swapped for low-paid warehouse work, indignation is diverted daily against migrants.
That moment is fertile for some yet-worse demagogue who calls for throwing out migrants already here. Expect the volume to be raised against “elites” – anti-parliament, anti-politics, bored of democracy itself. Ignite hatred against Europe, blame Brussels for deliberately impoverishing us in revenge, stirring centuries-old enmities.
Blend all that with a little nationalistic leftish populism, not all of it bad: nationalise our utilities and rail, eject foreign owners from key industries and property, pump up armed forces and national pride. These are potent ingredients for militant majoritarianism, blaming minorities and minority opinions. The Human Rights Act is abolished and the BBC absorbed into government. National socialism {= Nazism/NSDAP) will no doubt carry a new name – but it’s there in the making"
Polly’s belated recognition of this blog’s ‘realignment’ thesis was supported by top columnist Rachel Sylvester in the Times (14 vi). See below:
"One West Midlands MP estimates that 60 per cent of Labour voters in his constituency are supporting Brexit. “The Remain Labour MPs who go out canvassing are tearing their hair out because it’s so overwhelmingly for Leave. But to be honest I’m shocked that they’re shocked. Traditional Labour voters are not enthusiastic about the EU and they’re furious about immigration.” ....
The truth is that the referendum is exposing Labour’s breach with its traditional voters in a way that has profound implications for the country as well as the party. In Birmingham, campaigners were told to take all mentions of immigration out of their literature. Although the local MPs begged to be allowed to tackle local concerns head on, they were banned from doing so by party staff following instructions from the leader’s office. ....
Labour and the Remain campaign are now, as one former shadow cabinet minister puts it, “reaping the whirlwind” of years of ignoring voters. For those who feel dissatisfied with the status quo — the “left behind” voters who have suffered from globalisation — Brexit feels like the only way of changing their situation in the absence of a credible alternative government. ....
In an era of identity politics, when tribal loyalties are breaking down and culture wars are breaking out, the Labour coalition is fracturing. ....
Labour [has been] turning into one big Islington dinner party offering vegan lasagne to people who prefer beef. One Labour MP says that the [referendum] campaign is exposing growing tensions within his party just as much as among the Conservatives. There’s a rupture between the metropolitan, liberal wing and the traditional, working-class base. The Tory splits are Westminster high politics but the Labour ones are a shifting of the tectonic plates.”
Melanie Phillips (Times, 14 vi) chipped in with “We are witnessing, in effect, a mass uprising across the West against globalisation” – and, she might have added, against globalisation’s bolt-on philosophies of multiculturalism and political correctness which had been forced on cowardly businessmen, state-employed top fat cats and financiers by ‘liberal’-left bullying. – Funny to think that as metropolitan lefties were rejected by a revived Old Labour party, they would have to seek their fortune among cuckservatives just as Christians had historically been sure to maintain bridges with the rich and powerful who in return for a reasonable press kept churches afloat!
MULTICULT MIGRATION MOONIES MEET MATCH
As the killing of a well-liked youngish female Labour MP, a keen REMAINer along with her husband, by a 52-yr Yorkshire depressive, weirdo and loner who had once made occasional ‘hard right’ contacts, allowed REMAINer Daft Dave to close the EUSSR referendum campaign with five days of national mourning for the saintly Jo Cox, US columnist David Frum (Times, 18 vi) observed that the West’s recent move towards anti-‘expert’, anti-establishment, anti-PeeCee and pro-nationalist sentiment could be traced to the bizarre infliction of yet more mass immigration by the likes of multiculti-maddened Merkel and Obarmy (and, he could have added, Britain’s slave-seeking Labourites who needed at once to placate money men and to replace the White working-class voters whom Labour had deserted). See below:
"....after only the briefest pause during the deep recession of 2008-2009, legal and illegal migration to the US has accelerated again: about 1.1 million legal migrants in both 2014 and last year, plus more than 500,000 illegal migrants. This pace represents a near doubling of the pace of migration during the deepest years of the recession.
It has been the policy of the Obama administration to welcome even faster migration in the future. The package negotiated with Congress in 2013 would have doubled legal migration. A Republican mutiny forced its abandonment. Obama responded with orders suspending enforcement against approximately half the illegal aliens in the US: those who’d entered the US as children, then of those who had entered in early adolescence, then later of their parents as well.
Within weeks of the later orders being issued, tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American minors surged across the US border. Thousands more have followed in the two years since.
Even more predictable than this surge are the dangerous cultural and political consequences. Opposition to Obama’s migration policy fuels Trump’s, just as reaction against Angela Merkel’s has animated nationalist movements across Europe.
Liberals have tended to assume that mass migration is essential to society. But we should have learnt by now that mass migration is one of the greatest threats to a liberal system. In Trump’s America, as in France and Germany, excess migration triggers a backlash among the host population. Borders are as necessary to a free society as laws: they are the first law that makes a country a country.
Obama has spoken powerfully against Trump’s demagoguery. His criticism might more usefully be directed inwards: for it was his own decisions that enabled the rise of such a simultaneously ludicrous and sinister challenger"
Whether the orgy of mourning for REMAINer Jo would make voting LEAVE on Thursday 23rd – PeeCee’s date with destiny, at least till The Donald got his chance to knock it out in November – remained to be seen. MSM preferred to play up shooter Thomas Mair’s ancient internet links rather than his seeking psychiatric help for a depressive episode just the day before the killing.*
The BBC even claimed that, after a little epilepsy in childhood, Mair had no mental illness*; and it disregarded the amazement of Mair’s brother and mixed-race half-brother at the very suggestion that Mair was ‘far right’ or ‘racist,’ ‘vile’ etc. – he was best known for free tending of old ladies’ gardens and attendance at his public library.
There was nothing to disturb the referendum’s avoidance of serious discussion of mass low-IQ immigration, for all that this was what concerned many voters, especially LEAVErs. Only UKIP guru and LEAVEr Nigel Farage dared an advert giving a flash of ‘Syrian’ pumigrants trekking in their hundreds across Slovenia towards Germany – an advert which had him instantly condemned on the Beeb as a ‘racist’ etc., yet which might just get through to the part of Britain’s proletariat that had not yielded to welfarism and remained proud, pugilistic, pie-scoffing, pint-quaffing, pub-crawling and parliamentary in its love of quick-fire and good-humoured debate in the language which England had given the world but which the forever-warmongering French forbade to the dismal yet dictatorial EUSSR.
*Most likely the enlightened Beeb no longer regarded ‘bipolar disorder’ as an illness – along with such mere ‘issues’ as schizophrenia, hysteria, homosexuality and psychopathy – probably racism, xenophobia, militarism and uninvited caning were the only ‘real’ mental pathologies left....
