The Place of My Birth Has Gone Insane

Posted on the campus of  East Tennessee
University Campus. Source
I was born in the North Devonshire town of Bideford, which is located on the North coast of that English peninsula jutting South-Westerly from the mouth of the River Severn where it merges with salt water at the city of Bristol. So far as I am aware, at the time of my birth, Bideford was a sane and civilized place, although as we moved elsewhere shortly thereafter, I remember little about my time there other than the occasion of being held in the arms of a red-faced gentleman shouting over the banister to someone downstairs: "It's a boy."

But in recent times, so Breitbart reports, under the all pervasive pressure of politically correct propaganda,  the town of Bideford seems to have suffered something of a collective neurotic break.Trouble arose over the fact that, 160 years ago, the Victorian author Charles Kingsley, in his historical novel Westward Ho!, dubbed Bideford “The Little White Town,” because of the many white buildings which give the town its character. 

In reference to this literary designation, mention of "The Little White town" appear on signs at entrances to, and within, the town, a fact that has now caused panic. Thus:

town councillor and former town mayor Dermot McGeough complained that “The wording ‘Little White Town’ can be perceived as ...racist and not politically correct”. 
Specifically, Mayor McGeough said that:

“The wording ‘Little White Town’ can be perceived as a racist slur...” At a council meeting, he therefore put forward a motion that “the words ‘Little White Town’ be removed from all signs within the town and at the town entrances.”
Happily, it can be reported that a survey of town residents revealed opposition to this piece of imbecility by a margin of more than two to one. but Council was insistent, although, in the end, it opted for a compromise, ordering signs to bear the words: “Charles Kingsley’s ‘Little White Town’ (1855),” suggesting to any politically correct twit that it was just Charles Kingsley who was a white supremacist, not the present-day inhabitants of the town. 

But Bideford's PC cretinism may not yet have run its course, since Councillor Peter Lawrence raised the question of whether ‘Bideford Black,’ a unique earth pigment mined in the area, should be renamed.

Why Canada Needs Less Diversity

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, revealed the ugly face of racial and cultural diversity in Canada when, during a pre-election leaders' debate, he told Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, that he had no right to a place on the leaders' debate stage:

when you incite hatred,you don’t deserve a platform...your ideas are hurtful to Canada.
And in what way had Bernier supposedly incited hatred?

By opposing official multiculturalism and the Government's intention to raise Canada's immigration rate to the highest per capita rate of any country in the world, a rate considered too high by 49% of Canadians. 

And who is Jagmeet Singh, this national leader who equates opposition to higher immigration and government sponsored multiculturalism as "hatred"?

According to Indian intelligence, he is a vociferous anti-India advocate and supporter of pro-Khalistani sympathisers in Canada, the same group responsible for the largest mass murder in Canadian history, the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 with 329 people, mostly Indian, on board, including 82 children under the age of 13.

More specifically, opindia reports:

According to the latest dossier prepared by the Indian intelligence officials, Jagmeet Singh, the Leader of Canada’s second-largest party, remains a ”pro-Khalistani and a pro-Pakistani” ringleader in the country despite his deep Punjabi roots. On a specific report of India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing, Singh was denied a visa in 2013 for his anti-Indian stance. The RAW has revealed in one its report that Singh had been funding Khalistani outfits, operating from Pakistan. He is also connected with prominent Khalistani and Kashmiri separatist groups based in different countries of Europe. Latest reports also suggest that Jagmeet Singh is also trying to bring Khalistani and Kashmiri separatists under one umbrella in Canada. Recently he held a meeting in this connection at his residence in Ontario.
Bizarrely, Canada's so-called National Observer, in reporting Singh's attack on Bernier's right of free speech, accuses Bernier of anti-Semitism on the ground that he described all of his opponents (correctly, as it happens) as globalists:

He [Bernier] wasted little time ... tossing out an incendiary anti-Semitic slur ... when he declared that “the other leaders on this stage are globalists” and attacked the United Nations as a “dysfunctional organization.”
 So apparently, if you oppose the liberal genocidal plan for the destruction of the sovereign democratic nation state, then you're an anti-Semite. That is quite weird, implying as it does, that globalism is a Jewish imperative. But if globalism is a Jewish imperative, why is it anti-Semitic to say so? Or are we to understand that even truth can be anti-Semitic?

Climate Panic: Economics, Ignorance and Mental Illness

Speaking at the One Young World conference in London on Wednesday, BP chief executive Bob Dudley said:
“unless you put a price on something, you can’t control how it’s consumed.” He then called for a “united effort to put a price on carbon.

“One of the things we talk most about doesn’t have a price,” he said. “There’s got to be a united effort to put a price on carbon, so when you click a switch on the wall for electricity you’re going to pay a higher price.”

“Getting a price on carbon,” he said, will “change the (emissions) situation more than ... four-year outlooks from politicians.”

The outgoing BP boss noted that while emissions were stagnating in Europe and North America, other parts of the world were falling behind in addressing the climate crisis.

“There are big coal-fired power plants opening in other parts of the world” he said “and that’s the epicenter of the problem.”
But carbon taxes are seriously harmful if applied only on a local basis. They handicap local industry by promoting the transfer of carbon-intensive industries to jurisdictions without a carbon tax.

The solution?

A countervailing import tariff on goods and services from jurisdictions without a carbon tax.

In Canada, where the re-elected Liberal Government plans the introduction of a carbon tax, the countervailing duty is absent, which is one reason that Canadian oil and gas companies are moving south of the Canada:US border — to avoid the million dollars in carbon tax on the diesel fuel consumed in drilling a gas or oil well.

The same incentive to off-shore or out-source to carbon-tax-free jurisdictions will undermine the Canadian steel, lumber, mining and manufacturing industries, which are precisely the industries where Canada has comparative advantage relative to her trading partners.

But apparently such simplistic logic is beyond the grasp of our rulers, let alone the majority of the public for whom Climate Panic seems more closely akin to neurotic illness than an environmental  problem requiring a rational solution (cf, E. Michael Jones: The Religion of Greta Thunberg).

Trudeau: Dead Man Walking?

October 22, 2019: Under Justin Trudeau's leadership, the Liberal Party of Canada won more seats than any other party in yesterday's general election, but not a majority in the House of Commons. Moreover, with only 33% of the votes cast, the Liberals received the support of fewer Canadians, a mere four million, than the main opposition Conservative Party.

Given the Trudeau government's four-year record of scandal and incompetence, the election thus confirmed our assessment that few Canadians believed they had anyone to vote for who possessed both the ability and integrity worthy of national leadership.

The outcome of the election should be a shake-up in the leadership of the three national parties, Liberal, Conservative and NDP. For Trudeau, the push may come sooner rather than later if the murmurs of an alleged sex-scandal past have substance.

As a replacement for Trudeau, Jody Wilson-Reybould — the Attorney General and Justice Minister that Trudeau fired from the cabinet and booted from the Liberal Party for the heinous offense of doing her job — seems an obvious choice for the Liberals.

However, since Wilson-Reybould was returned from Vancouver Granville as an independent, the Tories might be wise to beat the Liberals to the punch and invite Wilson-Reybould to be their leader, as a replacement for their damp rag, globalist negative-impact leader, Andrew Scheer.

Meantime, in Germany, another globalist, Angela Merkel, has just admitted that her insame plan for a multi-culti Germany has "utterly" failed

What Trudeau, with his commitment to the genocide of the Canadian nation, i.e., the creation of a post-national Canada, and Frau Merkel will never acknowledge is that a common culture is the pre-requisite of social harmony. Invite people who require rigid adherence to wildly different customs and beliefs to come and pursue their lifestyle in your country and look forward to big trouble.

So are we ruled by really stupid people? Or are they traitors committed to the globalist cause and thus intent on the destruction of the nations they lead?

And is Merkel's admission that multiculturalism has "utterly failed" an acknowledgement of stupidity? 

Not likely.  Merkel, who is on the way out, is using what remains of her credibility to suppress the rising tide of self-defensive German nationalism.

Trudeau seems to be making his own attempt to cover up his globalist allegiance, stating in his post-election victory speech: "In every decision we make as your government, we will always put this country and its people first."

Yeah, we'll believe that when:

(a) we see the cut that most Canadians want in Canada's planned immigration rate, which at one percent of total population per year, is the World's highest per capita rate; and

(b) we see a curb to the power of banks to create the money which grotesquely inflates urban house prices and has already led Canadian families into the heaviest indebtedness in the World.

Canada: Federal Election — No One to Vote For?

"Toss Trudeau" says Conrad Black in today's NaPo: he's failed.

"Your vote is your voice," says Elizabeth May in a full front-page ad in Victoria's Times Colonist newspaper: meaning vote Green, then just shut up and I'll do the talking.

I'm running to win, says NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh, meaning I'll agree to anything for a cabinet post in a minority Trudeau government.

Don't know nuthin' 'bout hiring Kinsella to call Maxime Bernier and his People's Party of Canada a bunch of dirty racists, says Dimples Scheer. The CBC is naturally headlining this to smear the Tories, having themselves spent the election campaign  smearing Maxime Bernier as a far-right-wing racist (understandably since he very reasonably advocates defunding the CBC, LOL).

Might be better, really, to forget this festival of lies, insults, and drivel known as an election campaign and fill the House of Commons with a few hundred Canadians picked at random. They wouldn't know nuthin' about nuthin' no how. But where'd be the difference from the current crop of party leaders? Well, excepting Maxime Bernier, Leader of the People's Party of Canada who opposes the plans of his globalist opponents to diversify Canada with a greater per capita rate of immigration — both legal and otherwise — than any other country in the World. He, naturally, is abused by all and sundry and is lucky to have, according to the polls, even two percent of the populace in his support.

Skripal Tripal Part 2: The Coroner's Inquest Into the Death of Dawn Sturgess Has Been Adjourned indefinitely

This month the Coroners' Court announced the indefinite suspension of the inquest into the death of Dawn Sturgess. Ms. Sturgess was allegedly poisoned by deadly "developed-in-Russia" Novichok nerve agent carelessly discarded by Russian assassins intent on murdering Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the quiet English cathedral city of Salisbury.

Sergei Skripal was a Russian double agent, convicted of treason and jailed in Russia before being pardoned and released under a spy swap agreement.

Skripal's daughter, Yulia, was so far as the public has been informed, an innocent Russian citizen who happened to be visiting with her father when evil Putin's assassins arrived in England to dispatch him with Russian trade-marked nerve toxin.

Dawn Sturgess was the live-in friend of Charley Rowley, a scavenger who fished a perfume spray bottle containing Novichok that had been discarded in a public waste bin by Putin's assassins (so it is claimed by the ever trustworthy British authorities). Charley gave the deadly spray bottle to Ms. Sturgess who promptly sprayed herself to death, albeit unintentionally.

The official story of the death of Ms. Sturgess has always seemed questionable as we have discussed at length in a number of earlier posts. The indefinite suspension of the inquest into her death, raises the question of whether, in fact, Dawn Sturgess actually died.

Rather, it seems that the official account of the Skripal poisonings was a farrago of nonsense intended to smear Russia at the time that Russia was hosting the World Cup soccer tournament. In that case, Dawn Sturgess was most likely an actor in a idiotically badly planned false-flag event.

And if that were so, Dawn Sturgess was not a sad victim of Russian villainy, but a participant in a fraud on the public and a gratuitous assault on the reputation of the Russian Government. Further, it would mean that Dawn Sturgess is almost certainly now living under a different name, with the benefit of a face-lift and a new hair-do, all at the expense of a deceived British public.

When No More Stupid Wars Means No More Stupid Wars

By Patrick Buchanan:

President Donald Trump could have been more deft and diplomatic in how he engineered that immediate pullout from northeastern Syria.

Yet that withdrawal was as inevitable as were its consequences. A thousand U.S. troops and their Kurdish allies were not going to dominate indefinitely the entire northeast quadrant of a country the size of Syria against the will of the Damascus regime and army.

Had the U.S. refused to vacate Syrian lands on Turkey’s demand, a fight would be inevitable ...

A Vote For Anti-Free Speech NDPer, Singh, Is a Vote for Continued Rule By the Ethics Violating Hypocrite and Black-Face Dress-up Guy, Justin Trudeau

During this weeks "Leaders Debate" Jagmeet Singh took advantage of the freedom of speech allowed under the constitution to all Canadians to declare that the civil, intelligent and indeed distinguished Maxime Bernier, former Minister of External Affairs and now leader of the People's Party of Canada, should have been denied the right to participate in the debate.

The same scoundrel has now made it clear that he's angling for a cabinet post in a minority Liberal Government. So be warned, Canadian citizens, a vote for Singh and the NDP is a vote for the continued government of the two-faced corruptionist, Justin, Black-Face Trudeau.

TRUDEAU DECLARES BORIS JOHNSON REINCARNATION OF HITLER


Source: Guido Fawkes

To claim that Brexit is "ALT-RIGHT" must make perfectly good sense to a party led by Justin Trudeau, a Communist-loving globalist messiah committed to the view that Canada is a post-national state, which is to say a state that Trudeau rules without a regard for the Canadian nation.

So fuck off all you Canucks. Canada's to be run for the benefit of the world at large, not for you, the Canadian nation, which Trudeau has long ago declared, in his 2015  New York Times interview, to be null and void.

And in that context, Brexit, based on the idea that the Brits should rule themselves, is clearly anathema, which is to say far right-wing, extremist, anti-self-genocidal RAAAACISM.

Canadian Election — The Party Leaders: Four Progs and a Rational Conservative (aka Raaacist). Part 2. Conservative party Leader, Andrew Scheer

To some it may seem surprising to rank the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada among the progs, but the reality is that Conservatives are generally more broadminded and open to new ideas than liberals, who, obsessed by their own virtue, are much inclined to authoritarianism and the resort to hate speech — as in branding opponents RAAAAACISTs, Nazis and white supremacists.

Indeed, until 2003, Canada's Conservatives called themselves the Progressive Conservative Party, and going back to the day of John A. MacDonald, the man who created Canada, conservatives at one point called themselves Liberal Conservatives. In that era, it was John A.'s Conservative government that granted the vote to first nations people over the objection of Liberals, who once in power, revoked the legislation.  Indeed it was only due to the strength of Liberal opposition that MacDonald abandoned a plan to grant women the vote. 

So yes, a Scheer-led Conservative Party would almost certainly be more liberal than the Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau, a staunch admirer of Alt-Left, i.e., Communist, dictatorship from that of Fidel Castro's Cuba, to Mao's bloody revolutionary government of China.

But Liberals and Conservatives are barely ideological in their commitments at all. Rather, both are parties of main chancers seeking to "seize the centre ground," to quote that champion of opportunists, Britain's Tony Blair, the destroyer of Iraq. 

So in what way is Scheer, the only possible alternative, preferable to Trudeau as Prime Minister? 

Four reasons immediately come to mind:

First, though no orator, Scheer can, unlike Trudeau, make a speech without repeatedly gasping for breath while his brain catches up with his mouth.

Second, Scheer displays no paraphiliac inclination to dressing up in ways embarrassing to Canadians and irritating to the people so emulated. 

Third, although a carbon tax appears the best solution to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the serious harm that that may cause, Scheer is right to oppose this costly measure as a national policy. 

The chief consequence of the Liberal Government's Carbon tax policy will be to put Canadian industry at a disadvantage versus industry of countries without a carbon tax, in particular, the industry of our greatest trading partner by far, the US. Canada should push for a global carbon tax regime that punishes non-compliant countries with countervailing tariffs, not hobble our energy and energy-intensive industries with a unilaterally imposed carbon tax. 

Fourth, Scheer's plan to promote Canadian R and D leading to technology that reduces carbon emissions, is very interesting. It may be possible, for example, to develop economically viable means of converting tar-sands bitumen, in situ, to hydrogen gas, while leaving the carbon in the ground. Hydrogen could then be used for carbon-free thermal power generation. Moreover, hydrogen, with three times the energy density of kerosene, has in liquified form, interesting potential as an aviation fuel that could massively increase aircraft payloads. 

And one could go on. But as we wrote before, Trudeau's leadership was a desperate gamble after the liberals had experienced three leadership duds in a row. He was promoted to the leadership solely on the basis of his name and good looks. Now we know where a name and good looks wedded to flakey, authoritarian bullshit takes one, and it's time now for change and Scheer's is the face of change.

Canadian Election — The Party Leaders: Four Progs and a Rational Conservative (aka Raaacist). Part 1. Liberal Party Leader, Justin Trudeau


Conrad Black:

There is no reason to doubt Trudeau’s sincerity in being a globalist — a person happy to share Canada’s wealth with less fortunate countries and their emigrants, eager to be their representative on the United Nations Security Council, who believes in the post-nationalist state he speaks of, and illustrates his strongly held universalist beliefs by renaming what was the department of external affairs, and then of foreign affairs, to be the department of global affairs.

Symbolism is insubstantial, but indicative. That is the problem, in a phrase, of this regime: it is full of symbols indicative of well-meaning policies that are failing.

It is a government of no ideas but an irritating and oppressive attention to the Sisyphean (and undesirable) goal of reducing all mankind to one inclusive sex, one supra-nationality, no religion but a unanimity of trite good intentions, to make a country that has been relatively indistinct to the world anyway, become completely indistinct, on the theory that this is the future.

Unemployment is low because of the roaring boom generated by the giant ogre to the south, but Canada’s own job creation and capital formation are following the prime minister’s love of globalism by going, people and money, to places where talent and effort are better rewarded.

Those who accuse the prime minister and his government of having no direction are unjust. But those who fear it is the wrong direction are not.

Meantime, as Justin Trudeau jacks up the immigration rate, Canada's fertility rate continues on its downward trajectory. Falling below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per female in the final year of Pierre Elliot Trudeau's reign, it has now fallen by another 25% as lgbtq2-advocate Justin Trudeau's first term in office comes to its end.

Soon Canada will truly be, as Justin Trudeau describes it: a post-national state — the nation having been genocided by the state.

In this, Canada is following the example of Sweden, a state much admired by Canadian liberals, where the destruction of Sweden as an ethnic and cultural entity may now have passed the point of no return.

Sheri Berman, a professor of Political Science at Columbia University:

who has studied and written extensively on Swedish society since the 1980s, says that Nordic country is currently experiencing a societal transformation the likes of which the world has never seen before.

During a recent appearance at the Gothenburg Book Fair, Berman told reporters from Svenska Dagbladet, “Today, your society looks dramatically different. It is a completely different country. The demographic change that Sweden has undergone in recent years is quite incredible.”

“To think that this kind of change could happen without any problems is unhistorical. It is a demographic experiment of historical dimensions,” Berman added.

For Berman, the utter destruction of Swedish cultural and ethnic homogeneity could very well threaten democracy as a sizeable portion of native Swedes will inevitably struggle to preserve their cultural and ethnic identity.

It’s clear that this already beginning to take place in Swedish society today.

“There is no question that the more homogeneous a society is, the easier it will be. The groups are fewer and the gaps are closer, and it is easier to create a sense of social solidarity,” she said.

And

Some Justin Trudeau quotes:

On the death of Fidel Castro, Communist dictator of Cuba:

Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.

While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el Comandante”.

I know my father was very proud to call him a friend and I had the opportunity to meet Fidel

On Communist China's cool dictatorship:

There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say we need to go green, we need to start, you know, investing in solar. There is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about: having a dictatorship where you can do whatever you wanted, that I find quite interesting.

Diversity Is Our Weakness

Does ethnic diversity erode social trust?

Yes, according to a meta-analysis of 87 studies to be published in the Annual Review of Political Science, Volume 23, 2020.

Continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity have prompted this essential question for modern societies.

... this article reviews the existing literature on the relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust through a narrative review and a meta-analysis of 1,001 estimates from 87 studies.

... We find a statistically significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust across all studies. The relationship is stronger for trust in neighbors, and when studied in more local contexts....
Or as we reported years ago:

CanSpeccy: Too Much Diversity May Be Bad For Your Economic Wellbeing

So, no, Justin Black-Face, diversity is not our strength, though as Canada's Prime Globalist Mouthpiece you have to say so.

Our strength depends in what unites us, however loudly you and Jaggers scream RAAAACIST at Maxime Bernier, for whom a majority of Canadians would vote if they weren't sheep-brained victims of the propaganda-spewing educational establishment and the globalist media. 

And religious diversity doesn't help, as the ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria confirms.

But for a brilliant exposition of what happens when the "other" is within the gates see Brexit: the Banality of Treason, by Andrew Joyce and published by the estimable Mr. Ron Unz.

Quote: speaking of Brexit, Joyce writes:

There are traitors in Parliament, but they occupy every seat, and not just those on one side of the House of Commons. Boris Johnson, in proposing an amnesty for half a million illegal immigrants, acts against the will of the people. Priti Patel, in easing the path for thousands more of her co-ethnics, acts against the will of the people. Treason from government is not a novelty, and is not tied to Brexit. It is endemic and banal in equal measure.

And when it came to honesty, straight-forwardness and trustworthiness, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer scored better than Trudeau.

The European Union: Why Britain Should Never Have Gone In; Why Britain Must Come Out

Against joining: Here is the impassioned Speech (I heard it broadcast live) by the late Hugh Gaitskell,* speaking as party leader at the 1962 Labour Party annual conference:

For Britain’s entry into a Customs Union – such as the Economic Community of Europe – has a double effect. The barriers go down between us and the six countries of Europe. But they go up between us and the Commonwealth. We shall find it easier to sell in the markets of the six, because we shall no longer be faced with tariffs against our goods. How much are they now? Ten to fifteen per cent. But we shall be at a disadvantage in the rest of Europe compared with our position today, because in the European Free Trade Area we now have a tariff advantage over and against the six countries, which we shall lose if we go in. And since it would be rash to assume that the advantages which the Commonwealth countries give us in their markets will be retained by us when we deprive them of the advantages they at present have in ours, we shall also lose in Commonwealth markets for the same reason.

What does all this amount to? In 1961, 16.7 per cent of our exports went to the Common Market countries: 13.1 per cent – not so very far off it – to the rest of Western Europe – the E.F.T.A. countries, and 43 per cent went to the countries of the Commonwealth Preference System. We would gain in markets were we sell less than one-fifth of our exports and lose in markets where we sell about half our exports. This needs to be qualified a little because of the level of the tariffs. But nobody who has even glanced at this problem can really suppose that there is any advantage to be expected from the switch. ...

IQ-ism: the Third Phase in the Development of Psychology as a Pathological Discipline

One of the things I have to tell you about IQ research is this: if you don't buy IQ research, you might as well throw away all the rest of psychology. And the reason for that is that the psychologists who developed "intelligence testing" were among the early psychologists that instantiated the statistical techniques that all psychologists use to verify and test all of their hypotheses. So you end up throwing the baby out with the bath water.

And the IQ people have defined intelligence in a more stringent and accurate way that we have been abnle to define almost any other psychological construct. So if you toss out the one that is most well defined, then you're kind of stuck with the problem [of] what are you going to do with all the other ones that you have left over.... whose predictive validity is much less.
Jordan B. Peterson
In a comment thread at the Unz Review, among the most thoughtful and well-informed participants remarked on  what they held to be the importance of IQ research. The claim prompted me to the following remarks dismissing the entire business of what may be called IQ-ism as, at best, a scholastic blunder of epic proportions, and at worst, a grotesque fraud:

Speaking of "reasons to support IQ research," I would say that there are none. IQ-ism is just a phase in the development of psychology as a pathological intellectual discipline. IQ-ism is the latest in a series of attempts to comprehend the vast complexity of the operation of the brain by alchemically simplistic means.

First, in the history of this crackpot discipline was psychoanalysis, aptly described by Peter Medowar as:
... like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth century thought.
Then there was Behaviorism, which sought to explain human behavior and personality in their entirety solely in terms of the acquisition of operant conditioned reflexes. That theory crashed and burned as cybernetics confirmed what Behaviorists had denied, namely, that humans are conscious beings and that what consciousness tells of our feelings and intentions is a valid source of information.

And now we have IQism, which claims to be able to quantify a person's intelligence on a unidimensional scale by means of a simple paper and pencil test involving a few logical puzzles plus, depending on the test of choice, miscellaneous other items.

How do the IQ-ists sell this idea? Primarily by the artful use of language. Their little test, they call an "intelligence test," thereby establishing in the minds of the masses the unquestioned assumption that intelligence is what the IQ-ist's test measures. In fact, however, as a Google search will confirm, intelligence is the ability to acquire and to use information, whereas an IQ test measures neither except in an incredibly limited domain and with a test the results of which are subject to massive circumstantial bias.

But the IQ-ist scam has worked so well for so long that psychology has yet to even broach the real scientific questions that must underlie the measurement of  intelligence: namely, how to measure the capacity for information acquisition; and how to measure skill, effectiveness, Darwinian fitness, or whatever, in the use of information.

When one considers the measurement of intelligence in those terms, one is immediately confronted with the complexity of reality, and in particular, the fact that information is acquired via multiple channels, auditory, olfactory, visual, proprioceptive, etc. with data from each channel processed by a specialized brain module, or probably in most if not all cases, by multiple specialized brain modules.

So now if we take account of the fact that there are hundreds if not thousands of structural genes that impact the development and characteristics of those sensory channels and processing modules, we see that the capacity for the acquisition of information is not dependent on a single characteristic of the brain but on a large collection of independent variables. This fact is well known to common sense. People vary hugely in powers of memory and, moreover, that variation is type specific. Mozart transcribed the entire Allegri miserere after a single hearing, Stephen Wiltshire sketched the whole of Red Square from memory after a brief visit. But, so far as we know, Mozart had no special gift of visual memory, and Stephen Wiltshire is no musical genius. Others do more or less brilliantly remembering faces, voices, poetry, the numbers of pi, conversational tittle tattle, etc., but as far as is known, no one able to remember the first ten thousand places of pi, has composed  a decent symphony or a popular opera.

So in only the matter of data acquisition, we see that intelligence is multiple not unitary. But much more complex to analyse than the capacity for information acquisition is the capacity for the use if information. In fact, perhaps, that is an impossibly difficult challenge. But it is a challenge that must be faced by anyone who claims to measure intelligence in a scientific and quantitative way.

As for the innateness of intelligence, something about which IQ-ists are most emphatic, it is axiomatic that the potentiality is entirely innate. Moreover, we know that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of genes that direct brain development, plus probably many thousands of hereditary controlling elements, most yet to be identified, that shape the development of the brain and hence intelligence.

But the function of the brain is to record both sensory inputs, i.e., experience, and the internal workings of the brain, i.e., the development of our ideas, both of which shape the way we use information. So it is beyond question that environmental factors, through their effect on the contents of mind, have a huge impact on the degree to which the innate intellectual potential is expressed. Thus focusing on the genetic basis of intelligence to the exclusion of environmental factors, such as education and culture, cannot result in a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.

Binning Brexit: A Globalist Coup Against Nation State Democracy and the Sovereignty of the British People


The Remain coalition in the U.K. parliament have become vandals.

They would destroy everything about their government, traditions and what they know to be true outside the halls of Westminster to ensure the dreams of their paymasters are made real.

The fact that they would put forward a bill {Benn Bill} that hands absolute control over future negotiations with the EU to the European Commission is treason. Period.

That they would then hide from a General Election that they know would reverse their coup is an act of vandalism.

It is the height of arrogance for people who first stood on party manifestos to implement Brexit and then demanded a ‘People’s Vote’ to stop it, to simper and use their last remaining bits of power to deny those very people the opportunity to change their representation out of fear of Brexit.

Tom Luongo: Stopping Brexit Is About Saving the European Union

I told you the other day that there was a coup underway by the elites I call The Davos Crowd. It started with the British Supreme Court overturning centuries of the balance of powers and ended with the Democrats in Congress announcing impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

Tom Luongo: It’s a Numbers Game in the Coup to Stop Johnson and Brexit

We were warned from the start that [Britain's] new 'Supreme Court' would be a menace, by people who well understood what was going on.

But as usual nobody did anything to stop it. Britain's slow-motion Left-wing revolution just carried on, rolling over old and trusted rules and institutions, and crushing them into dust.

Last week the court made a swift and cat-like grab for power, its sharp claws flashing as it swiped at Downing Street.

This, unlike so many of the things wrongly said to be 'historic', was a truly huge change in the way we are governed.

Lord Hennessy, the liberals' favourite liberal, exulted that Tuesday was the day when 'the constitution really did shift'.

He argued that 'the architecture of the British constitution will never be the same again' because 'the Supreme Court's reach… now penetrates the most intimate relationship in the British state, that between the head of government, the prime minister, and the head of state, Her Majesty the Queen.'

Lord Sumption, perhaps the cleverest lawyer in the country, said the decision was 'revolutionary'. He is right.


And Here's the Movie: How Britain Will Leave the EU:

Time For Another Children's Crusade?

Vancouver's School Board supports students who skip school for a climate strike.

Apparently, kids now believe that the world will end in 12 years.

Those of us a bit older that 12 years, have heard warnings about the imminent end of the world  due to frost or fire, for decades now. But we have grown used to them, having found that life just goes on, decade after decade.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

In climate research and modelling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.

SOURCE: UN International Panel on Climate Change, Third Report, Chapter 14, Section 14.2.2.2, (2001)

But evidently the climate "scientists" with their bent, or should I say hockey-stick, graphs have got our kids to turn on their parents.

Here's one of them addressing the UN in full condemnation mode:


So perhaps it's time to hand over the whole business of world government to the kids.

Indeed perhaps it is time for a new children's crusade: not to conquer the Holy Places of Jerusalem but oil fields of Arabia.

But meantime, kids, those of you not entirely convinced that all will be lost without immediate abandonment of school and career planning, here are some thoughts from one of the monsters of your parents' generation: Scott Adams — A Message for Children About Climate Change.

PIERS MORGAN: Blackface Trudeau should apply the same high horse standards to himself that he applies to everyone else – and demand his own racist head on a plate

So, let me get this absolutely straight…
Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada and arguably the most woke, virtue-signalling and PC-crazed leader in the history of Mankind – or ‘Peoplekind’ as he insisted we rename it last year - turns out to have a rather cracked halo?
Wow. I’m so shocked…not.
I’ve not met a high-horse rider yet who doesn’t eventually tumble off into a pit of shameless hypocrisy.
But I’ve got to hand it to Trudeau, when he fell, he really FELL.
For a guy so keen to paint himself as the male Mother Teresa, the revelation that he has literally painted himself to appropriate non-white skin color is a bombshell from which I doubt he will ever recover.

Canada's Dopey Gropey Prime Minister in Blackface at Arabian Knights Party

Source: Time Magazine.
Eighteen years ago, prime minister Trudeau went to a party dressed as an African potentate with make-up to match.

It seems that almost everyone who's not a Liberal is taking violent offence.
“Seeing the Prime Minister in brownface/blackface is deeply saddening,” said Mustafa Farooq, executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims in a written statement. It is seeking an apology. “The wearing of blackface/brownface is reprehensible, and hearkens back to a history of racism, slavery, and an Orientalist mythology that is unacceptable."
LOL. Only pathetic whiners looking for an excuse to complain would give a damn.

There are white people and there are brown people and red people and yellow people.

So what?

If you're playing the part of an African prince, why would you not adopt the skin tone of an African?

Only a racist idiot looking for an excuse to take offense and call someone a racist would consider that an insult to Africans or anyone else.

But our Prime Minister, being a PC nitwit, which is to say an anti-white racist, is naturally appalled to be so exposed. He is "ashamed," he says, "pissed off," he says, and deeply apologetic.

LOL. If that's all our leader of little brain had to apologize for we could rate him a good prime minister. But no such luck.

But now the Canadian Broadcorping Castration has weighed in:
There is no excuse for brownface. An event entitled "Arabian Nights" seems like a relic of the past, but there is no solace in this having been a different time. A white person donning brownface or blackface was never not wrong.
"There is no excuse for brownface"?

Really.

That sounds racist to me.

What's wrong with brown face?

Does the CBC see brown skin as somehow repulsive?

Surely it's all those people taking offence at the Prime Minister having worn brown face — and that includes the prime minister himself, who are racists.

Here at CanSpeccy, in solidarity with all humanity, we say loud and clear:
 Vivre les visages bruns.
Extra, Extra, Extra: 
Now the video: Prime-Minister Trudeau in full-body black paint to which we say:
Vivre les corps noir.
And in fact, our Justin looks very good as an African. Even more handsome, some might say, than as a whitey.

Uh huh: Now the Prime Minister of Canada as a Sikh:
Is Justin Trudeau sick, or what?

The Face of Modern Britain, or What Happens to the Indigenous People When You Open the Gates



These are all good people.

Well maybe.

But they're not indigenous Brits. They're not even of European origin, but they, with others like them, now make up a large portion of Britain's ruling elite.

Where did I get these links? They were four consecutive videos posted at Guido Fawkes (ending with this, i.e., that and the three posts preceding it.)

What Brexit Is About: Democratic Nation State or Satrapy of a Bureaucratic Empire

Boris Johnson: Making Britain Great Again

Boris Johnson, the first British Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher with a gift for leadership, in Northern England, the heartland of the industrial revolution, to launch his campaign for the revitalization of the UK.

 Zero Hedge: Poll: Majority Of Brits (Including A Third Of Remainers) Want Brexit Vote Respected
But not the bunch of Britain's past dud PM's, Major, Blair, Cameroon, and May,* all failing to heed Boris Johnson's sound advice that "the main function of a past Prime Minister is to remain silent."

Instead, this congery of slithering losers, is baying for a second Brexit referendum, the one that Cameron called with the deepest cynicism in the assumption that the leavers would be defeated, and which May failed to kick into the long grass despite repeated and agonizingly feeble efforts, having gone the wrong damn way.

* And I forgot the biggest loser of the lot, Gordon Brown, still sour as Hell.

Quote of the Day, No. 79:

Matt Taibi:

Untitledgate: When I was 20, I studied at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, in the waning days of the Soviet empire. Most of the Russians I met were amusingly free of stress caused by following news. Why would they bother? Bull-factories like Rossiskaya Gazeta and Leningradsaya Pravda were basically collections of dreary government news releases rewritten to sound like news reports.

I saw newspapers in Leningrad shredded into slivers of toilet paper, used in place of curtains in dorm rooms, even stuffed into overcoat linings as insulation. But I can’t recall a Russian person actually reading a Soviet newspaper for the content. That’s how useless its “news” was.

We’re headed to a similar place. The cable networks, along with the New York Times and Washington Post increasingly act like house organs of the government, and in particular the intelligence agencies.

New York Fire Commissioners Call Bullshit on Official 9/11 Report

New York's Fire District Commissioners now confirm what any scientifically literate or mechanically competent person has been saying for eighteen years: The media-promoted official story on 9/11 is crap.

Zero Hedge, September 11, 2019: On July 24, the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Districts voted unanimously for a new investigation, citing “overwhelming evidence” that “pre-planted explosives . . . caused the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings.”

The resolution was written by Commissioner Christopher Gioia, and received overwhelming support from Commissioner Dennis Lyons.
“We have a memorial — a piece of steel from the World Trade Center with 28 holes where the nuts and bolts used to go. Every year on the 11th, we put a rose in each hole for the 24 Nassau County firefighters and four Franklin Square residents who died on 9/11,” Commissioner Lyons said.
When the vote was passed, the families of 9/11 victims showed up in the audience to express their support for the cause and their gratitude to the departments for making this issue a priority.

Commissioner Gioia said that he expects support from other districts throughout the city, and hopes that they will be passing similar resolutions in solidarity.
“We were the first fire district to pass this resolution. We won’t be the last,” Gioia said.
Nothing will come of this, however. Too many of the perps are still alive and well and running the country still.

Pepe Escobar: We are all hostages of 9/11

Year after year, 9/11 is essentially a You Have The Right to Accept Only The Official Version ritual ceremony, even as widespread evidence suggests the US government knew 9/11 would happen and did not stop it.

Three days after 9/11, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that in June 2001, German intelligence warned the CIA that Middle East terrorists were “planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture.”

In August 2001, President Putin ordered Russian intel to tell the US government “in the strongest possible terms” of imminent attacks on airports and government buildings, MSNBC revealed in an interview with Putin that was broadcast on September 15 that year.

The Suicide of the Europeans

Paul Joseph Watson reports:

During a speech at Budapest’s 3rd Demographic Summit, Orbán warned that the biggest problem Europe faced was demographic suicide:
Why is this the case? It’s most certainly not because of some sickness of Christian civilization – after all, the number of Christians are rising all around the world. This is a sickness of Europe in general.
The Prime Minister said that the solution was not to import vast numbers of migrants, asserting:
We must never accept population exchange. 
According to Orbán, the remedy should be to ensure that families were financially rewarded for having children, not punished:
We win only if we can build a system where those who bear children live significantly better than if they hadn’t started a family.
Orbán emphasized that the west was doomed if the current model of atomization and demographic decline isn’t halted.
Without families and children, the national community will disappear, and if a nation disappears, something irreplaceable will disappear from the world.
As we previously highlighted, as part an effort to boost the country’s population without having to rely on mass migration, Hungary will hand out €30,600 to married couples who have three or more children.

A married couple receives the €30,600 as a loan from the government upon getting married. The loan then has to be repaid until the couple has three children. At this point, the debt is completely forgiven.
None of this applies to Canada or Canadians, of course, where our glorious leader, Justin Trudeau, has already declared Canada to be a "post-national" state with "no core identity" and no "mainstream". 

So yes, here in Canada, we citizens? nationals? ah yes, residents, are simply replaceable units of economic production with no fundamental right to our own posterity but liable to replacement by an endless stream of people from elsewhere. 

Likewise, all the Euro nations, other than Hungary, apparently. 

Indeed, here in Canada folks are so enamored of their lack of "core identity" that advocacy of a population policy recognizing the eternal right of existence to the Indian nations, the Innuit, the Québécois, and the largely European English Canada, all subsumed within the greater Canadian nation, means certain death to the aspiring political leader.

When it comes to survival, however, white bears, certainly matter more to Canadians than white people: No way should we endanger their posterity.

The Brexit Struggle Made Clear

Rob Slane, over at the Blogmire, clears up any question you may have had about the state of play in the Brexit struggle, deploying a didactic method reminiscent of the way an Englishman might explain cricket to a foreigner.

There are a number of parties. One of them wants to take us out, but there are some within that party that didn’t want to take us out, so they were kicked out by the man who just came in. In order to get us out, the man who just came in tried to get himself out, so that he could then get back in, in order to take us out. But he was thwarted by the other parties, who despite wanting him out, kept him in because they fear that if he gets out, he will then get back in and will then take us out. But if they can keep him in long enough, and prevent him from taking us out, they figure that soon after he has failed to take us out, they will be able to get him out and get themselves in. And then after he gets out and they get in, they may try to take us out or they may try to keep us in. It’s anyone’s guess. Then again, it’s entirely possible that if they do get in, they might try to get us out, then campaign against their deal for taking us out to try and keep us in. It really is that simple...
And if you find that cryptic, you can read the full source article which makes all crystal clear.

And for those in need of further clarification, France's Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has just stated that delay to Brexit "isn't possible" under current conditions, a view agreed by EU Chief, Guy Verhofstadt, who said delay was "unacceptable"  unless the deadlock in the UK Parliament is resolved.

The Alternative Paths to Brexit Explained

Source: CCHQ = Conservative Campaign HeadQuarters. 
Regrettably, this cartoon, a creation of the Conservative Campaign Headquarters, does not provide a true representation of the difference in position between the factions.

In reality, the  Conservative Government is desperately seeking a Brexit "deal," an effort in which it faces seemingly insuperable difficulties and which, if it succeeds, will likely result in a deal having almost as many sovereignty denying features as Theresa May's thrice rejected deal.

The fact is trade deals are mainly about fixing things to the advantage of commercial interests with powerful lobbies and are of of questionable value to the public at large when they are not detrimental.

The UK, as the second largest economy in the EU is clearly of great importance to many European businesses and if a "no-deal Brexit" were to create significant UK–EU trade restrictions there would be effective pressure placed by EU entities upon the EU Council to negotiate relief from those causes of friction. Moreover, during negotiation about such restrictions to trade, there will have to be give and take that allows as much for British interests as they allow for EU interests.

Thus, the Brexit Party is absolutely correct in stating that they will support the Government in the event only of a "no-deal" Brexit, whereafter, Britain will have completely free hands to negotiate trade matters in a way that serve British interests without compromising British sovereignty.
