According to the bloggers who speak for our ruling elite (such as Matthew Yglesias) Norway is wonderfully well run. But according to the terrorist Breivik, it is run much like Chicago, where the ruling party’s political mobilization of the disproportionately criminal underclass has produced a criminal party.
Rational terrorism
A lot of people, myself included, have suggested that Breivik’s terrorism was unlikely to be effective, but he has information we did not.
A preliminary review of the works of Anders Behring Breivik
Shortly before killing a bunch of people, mainly the children of the elite, Breivik published two works:
Shot the organ grinder
Anders Behring Breivik shot the organ grinder instead of the monkey, the puppeteer, not the puppet.
Anthropogenic CO2
A replication of part of Clive Best’s analysis. The theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming assumes a number of points without evidence, assumptions that might well be true, but which they have made no attempt to test. One is that warming would be a bad thing, another is that the world is very sensitive to quite small CO2 greenhouse effect, supposedly because the CO2 greenhouse effect will be enormously amplified …
The curious solvency of Japan

Looking at past financial crises, there is no objective level of solvency at which a country goes down the tubes. They get along fine until they …
Obama’s connections
If you read blogs like this, you probably already know that Obama’s family and friends on both the black and white sides were communists and terrorists for three generations.
“Don’t call my bluff†says Obama
“Don’t call my bluff†says President Obama, thereby implicitly admitting he is bluffing.
Retrodicting climate
Warmist climate models do a fine job of retrodicting the climate, yet a woefully bad job at predicting the climate. Their prediction tends to be doom in the next few years, while their modeling of the past is perfectly spot on. Thus their predictions grow old fast.
Solving the immigration problem
Roissy complains that Libertarians are in favor of open borders and that open borders are having disastrous consequences. But what is having disastrous consequences is not open borders by themselves, but open borders combined with democracy and the welfare state. Even if the government had the will to stop the flood of low IQ migrants, the effect would be limited. Does not stop drugs.
