My dad was at TRW at the time working on satellite communication. He took me there to see the laser he was working on. There were not all lot of women or maybe even none that I recall.

Abraham Lincoln said after a certain age you can tell a persons character by their looks.

I also got the idea that there has been a great effort to bring people from 3rd world countries into the USA and to keep out white people. I also ran into a lot of people from first world countries that would have loved to come to the USA but getting any kind of vise was virtually impossible. Someone has been trying hard to change the racial makeup of the USA.

I was born and raised in CA. Then I was away from the area for some years and then returned. That was in 1990. Something strange had happened. I could not tell what it was and then later I tried to return again and I notice the same kind of problem. Maybe it has to do with the social meme?

Thanks for that insight. I was vaguely thinking the same thing, but I could not articulate it so well as you just did. That is the complaints are just a cover up for something else.

If blacks really thought the USA was bad and is bad for them they would all return to their homeland.There is no reason to think they were treated or are treated in in the USA any worse than in Africa itself.

Thanks for that nice analysis of the situation. It makes sense to me.

The equality thing I think is derived from Rousseau. The John Locke idea of equality is very different from that of the Left.

I see your point. I also noticed Jewish people involved in civil rights movements and such things that seemed ignore the fact that they were hurting the white working people (the basic WASP backbone and strength of the USA). I had no idea why the human consequences of such actions were ignored and I still don’t. But I simply meant to bring attention that there are Jews that did not and do not agree. These people are usually not taken as spokesmen for Jews as group. These people are ignored.

Thanks for that information. I had not known that fact.

This is the first comment that accurately describes my feelings. I grieved me when I saw the country being flooded by blacks. Then it grieved me even more when I saw it being overrun by Muslims. Then the last straw was to see the Jews being blamed for it all. The people that brought in the blacks were not Jewish; they were Southern Businessmen. And the people that flooded the country with Muslims were not Jewish. The Jews are simply the most convenient scapegoat for what White Anglo Saxon Protestants did to themselves.

Sorry about that. Three Mexicans wrote a fantastic paper in Physics. Credit where credit is due.

I believe your point was raised right away after Wilson stated this principle. Self Determination has not lower limit, and no upper limit. It is a simply a principle that gives a way for people to make trouble when they don’t like the way things are going. Serbia is one good example. Nationalism however is something that is defended by Hegel. So one would have to see exactly what kind of nationalism he is defending and why. Certainly he is not saying self determination for everyone. He means a kind of nationalism that has associated with it an upward vector. It is not stationary.

Self determination does not seem like nationalism. Nationalism is defensible with Hegel. But self determination is incoherent. What is the group?This was noticed right away when Wilson proposed self determination as a principle. It automatically leads to conflict. However nationalism is perfectly legitimate and can be defended by Hegel.

Three people from Mexico just just wrote a paper in Physics that was quoted favorably by the blog the Reference Frame. All three authors were Mexicans.
If the Reference Frame says a paper is good you can be sure it is fantasitc.

She does not seem very nice.

It seems like a nightmare come true.I have been seeing this takeover of America by the Dark Side for a long time. I hope there is still hope to stop it.

Americans were not aware of the problems involved in bringing Muslims to the USA. Most people had visited, “Its a small world after all,” [which I have to mention is a song made by Mozart, but not the words.] Americans including myself were very naive about what Muslims are all about. And one a person is in that mind set it is very difficult to get free of it. (It took a good deal of attacks on my person for me to start getting the message. And even then it took time for the message to start sinking in.)

Three people from Mexico just published what is considered a very good paper in Physics. It was mentioned in the Physics blog the Reference Frame but I did not take a careful look at it. It was mentioned in that blog about two or three weeks ago.

Sapolsky says that at east one steroid Glucocorticoid is in fact damaging to the hippocamus. That kind of damage can have very bad effects on one’s mental state.

There were more than a few such incidents in which individual soviet soldier decided not to launch a nuclear strike against the USA, though the circumstances warranted it. I think there were occasions in which the officer involved was demoted. There also was caution on the side of the USA. Eisenhower was being urged to launch a nuclear strike against the USSR by the secretary of the Navy an instead decided to begin the U-2 program to see what the Soviets were up to. That showed him that in fact the Russian were not preparing any kind of invasion or launching of missiles. My Dad was the leader of one the teams that developed the cameras for the U-2.

I have heard that some people want to get involved in the conflict with the two east provinces. There is a build up of troops on both sides. Any insights about this?

Nice essay. What do you think of the situation today in the Ukraine and the Crimea?

Thank you for that detailed and informative reply.

I focused on color because that seems to be the first marker. Maybe there are others. Color is what got Darwin thinking and I also noticed the same thing. Take a species lets say squirrels and separate it. Put one set into the USA and the other into the USSR. After some time one comes out grey and the other brown. Same with birds in England. There are lots of examples.

Thank you for that observation. That does bring up the question about the relation between Germanic tribes and Slavic. I guess your point is there is more to it than skin color. I have to think about that.

Race is the beginning of separation of species. This was the spark that kindled the idea of evolution in Darwin when he saw this. The idea is you take one species and divide it into different areas. The first difference that appears is color. If they stay separated long enough they become two species.

I don’t think most of the people that contributed to STEM had particularly great IQ’s. There is the issue of being talented in a particular area.

There is that spark also that comes on one.

I see your point but somehow it did not seem to me to be the point of that mother. Still I can see what you are getting at.

The anti crime mothers organize “shoot outs?” What is that supposed to mean? It sounds like organizing one groups of criminals to take over from another group of criminals.

The most anti-Russia Ukrainians are in the USA. In the Ukraine proper in middle areas people think fondly of Russia. In the middle areas I can’t even count how many people I asked how things were when the Ukraine was a part of Russia. The answers were always the same. “A lot better.” “Everything was cheaper.” One woman told me she bought her house [a Villa] for about what is now about $200.
The necessities were dirt cheap. And people were afraid to break the law.

People told me “Everyone worked.” They were referring to the fact that now there is no work and people have nothing to do.
But the thing is I forgot the exact words they used. There was one phrase everyone used when referring to that time and I forgot it. “бил люче” or something like that.

It is like one comment said above: They can keep things going, but everything depends on the infrastructure built by the Russians.

[That does not mean they want Russian rule again though.]

I would have to agree with you. Only one minor point I wanted to make.

There was for some time the Kievian State but that was a for-runner of the Muscovite state.

I think when NATO pushes against Russia, that they are aggravating and alienating an ally to the USA. I think NATO is the problem In other words I see Russia as a force of stability and advancement of civilization along with the USA. And NATO I think is hurting that relationship.

My parents said not to take medicine unless it has been on the market for 50 years.
I should mention that modern medicine has two aspects. One is proved and tried techniques. The other is speculative and presented as true and tied but it is not. It is important to discern the difference.

I see. My impression is a little different from that but I see your point. I still believe he wants good relations with the USA

Thank you for that correction. I stand corrected.I had not been thinking about Bush but rather Clinton and more recent developments after Russia began to regain its stability.

That is so true. We need to stop this confrontational attitude towards Russia and start a new er of cooperation. I agree with Trump that this attitude needs to be changed.This new cold war is much more dangerous than the old one. And Russia is clearly not the enemy.

The Left seems intend on baiting Russia. I would not trust the Left with a toy pistol. Especially not that crook Hillary.

I suggest that genetics and DNA have a lot to do with violence and crime. Plus I think the social meme also does. That is if a person believes in some vile evil doctrines this will affect their behavior even if they have great genes. And visa versa. Even a great doctrine can be messed up by bad genes.
Once a Protestant pastor in Jerusalem told me he thought the main cause of terrorism is Islam. This was a surprise tome because before that I thought it had something to do with genetics. Now I would say that perhaps there are both factors involved. [I still see a vast influence of genes in many areas.]

I can tell you by personal experience that Trump talks like a typical New Yorker. Straight to the point with zero tolerance for nonsense and muddy thinking.

I think we would have gone back to the moon, at least to set up a base for Mars launches. That is at least what one of Apollo 11’s crew thought (Collins). My learning partner thought we stopped it because NASA was turning into an outreach program for minorities, and their incompetence was causing disasters, so NASA simply decided to scrub future missions.

I would not have been able to guess. But now I can see the point. That White people dare and test the limits. Nice point. I can see that this is an important issue because it shows where progress comes from

The GOP in the past was not much better than the Democrats. But now that seems not all that relevant, now that Trump is an option. It would seem now to spend time and effort to make sure the elections are not rigged.

Trump does not see much advantage in provoking WWIII with the Russians. I think that is a good thing. Of course, NATO would be out of work. But they have not had anything useful to do anyway for 25 years

My advice for the French: Throne and Altar.[ Not that I am so happy with the Catholics nowadays. But anything that brings to the Law of Moses is good as far as I am concerned.] The mob Republic rule thing [based on Rousseau] has gotten too out of hand. Even a change to John Locke’s kind of democracy would not help. Better Throne and Altar, straight and simple.

Right about that. It was a group that was made to be anti police right from the beginning.

My impression is this is a direct result of Islam. I do not think this is work place violence. That is I mean to say it is the result of a certain kind of social meme that gets incorporated inside a persons personality at a certain age. If the social meme is bad, it will result in bad deeds regardless of the inherent disposition of the person. I have seen this a lot. People can start out with good or bad dispositions but if they are taught an evil belief system the belief system will take over.

That seems like having the cat guard the mice. Or hiring Bonnie and Clyde as security guards for bank. And in the meantime training them in security procedure so they will be more effective at what they do. Perfect.

Bring back Throne and Altar. Problem solved. What I mean is the loss of authority of kings and the church seems to have brought about a drop too much of mob rule. Mob rule does not seem to me to much of an improvement over a monarchy together with the Catholic Church. [Not that I am Christian. But I can see reality.]

A pleasant surprise that justice prevailed.

The Left really does not like the Second Amendment. I am not sure why this is? Maybe because it was designed to protect the American people from the American government. We see in the Federalist papers the importance of limiting the government. [The 2nd amendment was made as a limit on government.] I think since the lefts sees government as the greatest good and people as worthless thus the 2nd amendment must bother them.

I wanted to mention that I think limited government was foremost in the minds of the founding fathers as the sole way to guarantee freedom.
They must have taken note that Sparta considered themselves free even though they were not a democracy. {See Herodotus.} The reason is the government was limited by the fact that each of the two kings and the Ephors limited the power of the other.

Are the refugees “fleeing from terrorism” or fleeing towards terrorism?

I think he knows how to get competent people.

Violence is more characteristic of the Left and of Islam. The Right as a rule just wants safe neighborhoods. The Left bases its philosophical doctrines on non rationalist paradigms. Thus, like Islam, they have no means of taking power except by violence. Rational argument does not work for them.

My Dad bought for me the Magic Flute done by the NY Philharmonic. Later I got to see some scores of the other operas by Mozart. I am impressed with Mozart. I wish people would in fact produce his stuff on a larger scale.

That is a good point. It seems clear that only Trump understands the importance of not provoking the Russians

I have thought that the Left will use violence to stop Trump because of two reasons. (1) Power is their religion. That is,– they do not have transcendental Biblical traditional religious values. Thus they bring to politics all the fervor you would normally find in religious fanatics. (2) I have some interest in Marxism, and am aware of some of its doctrines. See some Marxist writings and you too will see that the tendency is to advocate violence. Plus, I saw that these kinds of books were being taught even in the humanities and social studies departments of good universities that I was in like Polytechnic in NY. So in terms of that I have to agree with the previous comment.

The trouble is that it seems likely that B. Clinton did order sticks on Serbia to distract attention from Monica. It seems Hillary’s making money off of national secrets was probably not done with a view to protect national security

I was in fact wondering about this. Aren’t human evolving in different directions?

” Jews can thank the German speaking educational system for their contributions.” So? I agree with that. Plus the USA universities also. I am grateful. What more can I say?

The signature of low-frequency western Eurasian mtDNA lineages in India was interpreted (Kivisild et al. 1999) to support the hypothesis that Dravidian farmers arrived in India from the Middle East (Renfrew 1996)

Thank you for your comment. To answer your question as to what my source is:

“A study of mtDNA-haplogroup frequencies in southwestern and central Asia reported that the Brahui gene pool was more similar to that of Indo-Iranian speakers from southwest Asia than to that of Dravidian populations of India” (Quintana-Murci et al. 2004)

See this link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1380230/?tool=pubmed

I should mention that this is just one article but a lot of research has been done in this area in which the mtDNA supports the conclusion.

After the Arab conquest of the Middle East, Arab blood got mixed up with everyone in those areas. That happened even in Greece and Spain. The original Greeks were blond hair blue eyes as we see in Homer and in all Roman and Greek histories from that period. The Persians were not related to Arabs but got mixed up after the Arabs conquered that region.
India was settled by Persians who became the upper brahman class and made their discoveries.
Algebra needless to say was well known to Euclid and Diophantus and in India.

What do you call “white?” If you include Jewish people from Eastern Europe and Russian people, then that is 100% of progress. But if you do not include Jews and Slavs from Russia then a lot would be lost.

That is from Rome

I agree with that. I saw a similar thing in NY. It is scary to imagine what they would do with a nuclear weapon.

Baptism was for heaven. That was a guarantee. Everything else was to get out of Purgatory. Christians today do not know this because the Protestants denied the existence of Purgatory

amazing insightful comment

I am very unhappy with liberals and see them as very destructive towards Torah values and objective morality. The fact that she is Jewish does not help in the slightest since her view oppose the Law of Moses. In the Torah you will find that Jewish people do not get a pass when they transgress the law of God.

Originally for Christians baptism was the sole requirement to go to heaven (eventually). The trouble was purgatory. This was the reason baptism was delayed until right before death as with Constantine. The sacraments were to absolve from sin along with repentance in order to avoid purgatory.

Thank you for pointing out the place of that verse. I had forgotten exactly where it was located.

In the meantime I noticed the mainstream media says the solution “to show Muslims more love.” I am not kidding. I think the media has adopted a policy of see no evil hear no evil when it comes to Islam. And I admit I had a side to say they were right for many years,.. until experience after experience in along row of bad experiences with them trying to kill me convinced me that they are really not nice people.

I am not very happy with Islam. I think that it the direct cause of all these kinds of attacks. And I think it ought to be banned. It definitely encourages this type of thing. When Muslims kill in the name of Islam, they are obeying their religion. In fact, it is their only guarantee to go to heaven. In fact, one could be a bad person all his life, play around, drink alcohol etc, and yet on the last day go out by killing Jews and Christians this would guarantee place in the highest heaven. What better way to go? People in Europe during the Middle Ages had much more accurate idea of what Islam is about and considered it as something entirely evil.

I think Russia wanted influence over there since the time of the czars and this desire was thwarted and stopped by Britain. To me it seems best to let Russia have a free hand over there. Make some order out of chaos.

Ur comments on this thread I find amazingly instructive– [and Tahla’s also]. Thanks

Thank you for sticking up for Giuliani and me. That was my impression also that if evidence came in that the police were wrong then they were wrong and that was that. But the starting point of Giuliani was that the police were right and justified

There has been a consistent battle of blacks and their SJW against white people for a very long time way before anyone in the white world noticed. This was based to a large degree on the idea that people from N. Africa have a certain kind of trait–assumed superiority that is unearned.

That is a good point. I probably exaggerated. As I recall support of the police was always the starting point of Giuliani. But I think in one case there was evidence of the police over stepping the line and then he backed down. But I think it could be said that he was in fact walking in the happy medium.

I was not happy with some aspects of Giuliani. No one is perfect. Everyone has some blind spot. But he turned NY City from a crime ridden mess into one of the best and safest cites in the world. One important way he did this was by supporting the police always. Not that NY police are always the nicest. But that did not matter to Giuliani. He supported them no matter what. This is something for all Americans to learn from.

Thank you anyway. I am happy to learn that Ghazali was a deeper thinker than I had realized. And thank you for your blessing. May God bless you and your family. P.S. I am also amazed at the knowledge of Smoothie about military matters. It is very instructive to hear what he has to say about these areas.

What happens when you have a showdown with nature, nature wins. Nature has been separating species by means of race as Darwin noticed with finches. All that is happening is nature is asserting her will.

Thank you for you reply. I guess I need to learn more about Al Ghazali.

Al Gahazi had some good points but I think that the anti rationalist approach was not very fruitful.

I think Nixon was definitely effective in restoring law and order.

What Russia is doing in Syria should be praised and supported. That seems clear enough. How the different aspects of Russia and USA Technology and military strategy are not is all that relevant. There is a legitimate government in Syria.

That is a perfect term for it “to bait Russia.” That is exactly what NATO is doing. What is the point of provoking Russia? –especially when they are doing nothing wrong disturbers me.

I saw an article in Haaretz [a leftist newspaper] that said walls do not work. That was before the wall keeping out terrorists was built. After it was built even only about a forth the difference in terrorist incidences was very noticeable. The amount of bombs going off in areas and in malls was reduced greatly. I learned then that people can write clever editorials that sound good but do not correspond to reality.

I have no idea why the west opposes Russia in Syria and to me it makes no sense.I think I heard that Putin was surprised that the USA would be helping ISIS. This to me is also puzzling.

If this was NYC under Giuliani, none of this would have happened. Stop and frisk. And he suppoted the police all the way.

You would probably prefer the intuitionsit school of GE Moore and Dr Michael Huemer because of your wanting a common sense approach. I have reason to think though that Kant and Fries are deeper but not all that different.

Good point. However common sense often is not so common and needs some kind of background to back it up. I find the school of thought of Kelley Ross does that well.

They thought it was safer that to shoot it out with the terrorist. They made the right decision.

Fries is mainly important because of immediate non intuitive knowledge. He helps to formulate a Kantian kind of answer to how we know stuff and also to unity of consciousness. By himself he would not be very important but together with Schopenhauer, Jung, Popper it is possible to formulate a sophisticated kind of Kantian system of equal merit and even surpassing Hegel. That is why this ought to be important to the kind of people that comment on Unz. see this web site of Dr Kelley Ross: http://www.friesian.com/school.htm

White Christians are altruistic. This comes from a combination of DNA, Bible, and Greek and Roman heritage. This good will can be misdirected.

Ayn Rand also thought the Catholics had a kind of kinship with communism. I thought she was exaggerating but today it seems to me she was right.

I have seen this problem and I think I saw it on some blog somewhere. The intellectual sophisticated apparatus is on the left. They hijacked Hegel. And the Nazis did not help much. And the intellectual force on the right is weak. And it also was not very helpful that the Left infiltrated the universities. This is a serious problem Not just for the right but even for people in the middle.
The best answer to all this for me was simply to point out the school of thought of Kelley Ross based on Kant and Schopenhauer and Fries. But this advice has gone ignored. maybe people think it is too mystical. I am really not sure.It is certain that Philosophy departments ignore the Kant Friesian School. Surprising enough the only ones that took this school seriously were the Soviets for some reason I still have not figured out.

The problem I think started a long time ago when I heard a black person in LA tell me that they were planning on destroying the USA. No all are like that I know. But there are enough to make a difference.

I do not think there is any such thing as a person being male becoming female or visa versa. The reason is that the sex is written in every DNA molecule in the body.

I put the link to one of my blogs on the side. I am not sure if the owner of this site will publish it. He might be interested more in sites along the general nature of Unz. Mine is a little different.

This is a comment I saw on Unz by someone who must have had background in law: He was on his back and his right arm was free and had started to move down toward his right pocket.
“Pinned,” in any event, is hardly dispositive.[relating to or bringing about the settlement of an issue or the disposition of property.] Not when you are wrestling with a 6’4″, 300 man who is still struggling against you and has a gun in his pocket.
Policy either will not be indicted or will be found not guilty if they are.

Again, you must have led a very sheltered life.

The author of that comment is anonymous but he clearly has a background in law because of his use of dispositive. Plus his amazingly concise use of words.

I quoted your comment on my blog because it seems to most concise and accurate description of the events.
Do you must have a background in law? I am amazed at your concise and clear description.
