After the Leaders' Debate Trudeau Leads in the Polls: Most Elitist, Most Hypocritical, and Fakest of All

As the National Post reports:

A new poll looking at the virtues of the political leaders spells bad news for Justin Trudeau. Of all the politicians, the Liberal leader was found to be the most elitist, hypocritical and fake by the Leger online poll. 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. ... Full Text

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. Peter Hitchins: Gloating liberals may soon regret the power now being wielded by Supreme Court judges

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.

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. Source: Zero Hedge

Nothing will come of this, however. Too many of the perps are still alive and well and running the country still.

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.

And for the definitive five-minute account of 9/11:

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. Source

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... Source

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

Via Guido Fawkes Friday Caption Contest

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.

How Britain's Friendly Police Constable, or PC, Has Become the Neighborhood Twitter Spy and PC Oppressor of Free Speech

Daily Mail, February February 9, 2019: A mother was arrested in front of her children and locked up for seven hours after referring to a transgender woman as a man online. Three officers detained Kate Scottow at her home before quizzing her at a police station about an argument with an activist on Twitter ... The 38-year-old, from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, had her photograph, DNA and fingerprints taken and remains under investigation. More than two months after her arrest on December 1, she has had neither her mobile phone [n]or laptop returned, which she says is hampering her studies for a Masters in forensic psychology. Three officers detained Kate Scottow, 38, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, at her home before questioning her at a police station on Dec. 1 over a Twitter exchange with transgender activist Stephanie Hayden ... Writing on online forum Mumsnet, Mrs Scottow – who has also been served with a court order that bans her from referring to her accuser as a man – claimed: 'I was arrested in my home by three officers, with my autistic ten-year-old daughter and breastfed 20-month-old son present. 'I was then detained for seven hours in a cell with no sanitary products (which I said I needed) before being interviewed then later released under investigation ... I was arrested for harassment and malicious communications because I called someone out and misgendered them on Twitter.' Read more

...served with a court order that bans her from referring to her accuser as a man...

What if her accuser had a Y chromosome and a penis? Would it still be a criminal offense to call him (her? it?) a man?

The Brits used to say:

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. 

Now, apparently, free speech is not a virtue and your friendly local PC sees it as a prime function to oppress users of un-PC speech. [Does anyone still deny that Political Correctness is the new religion of the West?]

I suppose that makes sense in a practical way. Unlike dealing with knife criminals or acid throwers, you're unlikely to lose blood or eyesight arresting a word criminal.

The Question Nobody in the MSM is Asking About Jeffrey Epstein?

Over at the Unz Review, one Eric Rasmusen, a self-proclaimed expert in game theory, writes of the fate of Jeffrey Epstein under the title: Questions Nobody Is Asking About Jeffrey Epstein.

Amazingly, one unasked question that Rasmusen the game theorist fails to ask is: Did Jeffrey Epstein really die? In this respect, Rasmusen exactly echoes the mainstream media: Epstein is dead, the only thing to question is whether he killed himself or was he murdered?

Which, obviously, is not the only thing to question.

Epstein was with intelligence, so Alexander Acosta — Trump’s Former Secretary of Labor and the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida who negotiated Epstein 2008 plea agreement — claims to have been told. 

The result? Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal in accordance with which he was incarcerated under conditions barely distinguishable from total freedom for a minimal amount of time.

So what happened this time around. Did intelligence just decide to let justice, or possible injustice, if Epstein was indeed murdered, take its course?

Not likely, is it?

So what would “intelligence” have done?

They would surely remove Epstein from the scene by a fake murder or suicide and recycle him under another name with a modified face, and probably in another country.

How?

Easily:

pay the jailers to look the other way;

give Epstein a non-lethal dose of a paralytic drug, maybe some leftover Novichok from the Skripal caper;

wheel out the “corpse” for the media to photograph;

substitute a look-alike corpse on the way to the autopsy;

and Jeffrey’s free to pursue his interest in Ugandan Affairs with under-aged prostitutes, while snaring people of interest to “intelligence.”

That the author of this Unz Review piece, who claims to be an expert in game theory, doesn’t even think of the above scenario tells ya something.
