Anti semitism

As Moldbug tells us: Anti semitism is the faulty, paranoid, and obsessive belief that Jewish elites are significantly different from gentile elites. Jews, as Jews, simply were not an are not influential in the development of the theocracy that ruled us. Jews really do not matter so much, so any belief system that causes one to focus on Jews sends one crazy, detaches one from reality.  If we look at …

The evil empire

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 …

astroturf “anarchism”

The Belmont club reports on left “anarchism”, 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 training”, “human resources”, and “sensitivity training”, 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 …

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 …

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 …
