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 …

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 …
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 …
This wikileak good for the US
Pajamasmedia argues the leak is bad for the US The fact is, the WikiLeaks drop gravely hurts the U.S., not so much in what’s in the documents but in the disclosure itself. Imagine the U.S., China, Iran, Russia, North Korea etc etc all around a high-stakes poker table. WikiLeaks just took America’s cards out of her hands and plopped one of them on the table, while keeping the rest of them for its own use.  WikiLeaks has not done the …
Decline of the west
The last man on the moon left in 1972 The tallest building in the united states was finished in 1974. Cars are becoming humbler. US electricity production was growing exponentially until 1972. After 1972 it grew more slowly. Per capita electricity consumption seems likely to have peaked around 2007 or so. Supposedly GDP is still growing rapidly, just as supposedly inflation is zero, but it seems improbable that GDP is growing when per capita electricity consumption is not. One could …
Hyperinflation coming, but not soon
There is a lot of ruin in a nation. Glen Bleck predicts catastrophic instant inflation completely collapsing the currency and government in a single two week crisis. That is not the way hyperinflation happens. Hyperinflation consists of a series of hyperinflationary crises. In a hyperinflationary crisis, the value of money falls abruptly, typically to two thirds, half or a third of its previous value. The collapse occurs so suddenly that by the time most people realize that the hyperinflationary crisis …
