Wikileaks Cable 10Paris58 reveals the extent of US rule over Europe. If Europe is further left than the US, broker than the US, and more $@$%# than the US, this primarily that the American ruling elite has a freer hand in ruling Europe than in ruling the US, due to the US constitution, and the American tradition of liberty. In Cable 10Paris58, the writer announces that France is insufficiently left wing, therefore an American program of intervention in French internal …

astroturf “anarchismâ€
The Belmont club reports on left “anarchismâ€, taking the movement at face value, as if it was what it appears to be. the purest and most uncompromising of which are the anarchists. In fact, left anarchists are astroturf. They are the government threatening those that would restrain its growth. Repeating my previous post on the Greek riots: Observe the recent firebombings in the Greek riots, where the “rioters†murdered three people. Here are a couple of videos of the “rioters†…
The end of the road to serfdom
Hayek, in “The Road to Serfdom†predicted the welfare regulatory state must inevitably become the totalitarian terror state. Observe: We have arrived. America is now a totalitarian terror state. In 1992 I visited Cuba. Thereafter, I argued it was a totalitarian state, because when I asked certain questions some people fled, fearing that merely hearing the question would result in them being punished for the thoughts it might elicit, and others answered furtively. Yesterday, I asked someone very close to …
The future is Muslim, Mormon, and Catholic
Anglican Christmas church service, ten attend, eight with one foot in the grave. Sermon is about the other foot dropping. Catholic Christmas church service, approximately one hundred attend, most of them young. Sermon is about Christmas being a time for children. Some months ago I checked the graveyards. To judge by the absence of angels, graveyards one hundred percent protestant.
High returns on IQ between countries, but low returns within country
If we control for academic qualification, there is zero or negative return on IQ within a country. That is to say, of two people of different IQ but same country and the same academic qualification, the smarter one will have similar or lower socioeconomic success. If we do not control for academic qualification, IQ still does not make a very large difference. Of two people of very different IQ, but the same country, and academic qualifications typical for their IQ, …
Leftist fratricide
The unity of the left in part derives from room at the top, that the ruling elite promised endless expansion – government jobs, and quasi governmental jobs like “diversity trainingâ€, “human resourcesâ€, and “sensitivity trainingâ€, jobs for which one must demonstrate adequate leftism as a entry requirement. As the west moves into financial crisis, there is a marked shortage of additional room at the top. In Britain, the expansion of the state has halted, or considerably slowed, a change misleadingly …
Political correctness kills
Pajamas Media has a long list of notable and obvious terrorists, who, as moderate Muslims, were invited into the highest reaches of the US government. They only tell stories of high terrorists in the bosom of authority, simultaneously in authority in the US government, and in authority in Al Quaeda, neglecting to mention lowlier foot terrorists who actually carry out the killing, for example Hasan: the first terrorist to give an academic lecture with Power Point – to an Army …
Julian Assange’s “rapeâ€
Roissy has the details: The Assange “Rapeâ€: A Case Of Spurned Groupies: These girls, excited by his internet fame, pursued him, stalked him, and jumped his bones.
Julian Assange is a hero
Yes, he is a leftist, but he is an enemy of the regnant left, an enemy of the state, an enemy of my enemy. Why are all these rightists complaining when Assange makes Obama look like a dangerous lunatic and the state department look like deluded religious fanatics? Are these rightists loyal to a government that is at every level composed of men who hate them and regard them as enemies? Apparently so. What took down the Roman Catholic theocracy …
about one third banksters, two thirds …
The crisis is about one third theft by banksters, one third theft by rude, arrogant, and uncivil civil servants, and one third theft by the bastard spawn of welfare moms. The split is not between rich and poor, but between tax consumers and tax payers. I have emphasized the role of affirmative action loans in this crisis, and on the evidence, the great majority of the American dud loans were made to Hispanics – though it was highly profitable for …
