RSSThe case is tainted by the corruption of law enforcement, common in that part of the world, where I grew up, at least in the pass. Killer pere, formerly of the police, asked DA Jackie Johnson, a friend, to block investigation, the request being a crime. She imposed the coverup, also a crime, for which she is now under felony indictment. Those who, following her orders, wrote the documents asserting no wrongdoing, are morally and perhaps legally party to obstruction of justice. The Deep South and Long Island are different places.
Many commenting on the adventure seem unable to distinguish between evidence and assumption, suspicion, and wish. He Arbery allegedly entered the house five times, consistently leaving without stealing anything. Not stealing is not evidence of stealing. The day of his killing he left the house with, visibly to the killers, nothing in his possession. The line of reasoning—there had been thefts in the neighborhood, Arbery was in the neighborhood, therefore Arbery was the thief—works in the comment section of Unz but not in court.
That the shooter’s father consoled him is perhaps touching, but irrelevant, as the law judges you on what you do, not how you feel about it later. Doubtless Arbery could have run in another direction, but this is irrelevant as Georgia law does not prescribe your direction of flight when pursued by vigilantes in trucks. That he had THC in his system might have been relevant if he had been on trial for drug use, but he wasn’t on trial for anything at all.
As the prosecutor told the jury—I presume you watched the video—the only question before them was whether the three were conducting a legitimate citizen’s arrest. If not, running Arbery down was an assault made with no authority. The killers had not seen Arbery commit a felony since he had not committed one. They had no grounds to suspect him of committing a burglary since he left the house empty-handed. No felony, no reasonable suspicion of felony, no citizen’s arrest.
The self-defense defense has no basis in law. If you attack someone, as by chasing him with trucks which you use to herd him in desired directions—this is ADW—and at some point he turns to fight, you cannot kill him and claim self-defense. This is neither rocket science nor legally speculative, being (I think) settled law everywhere.
I don’t think I can reasonably be charged with being soft on crime by blacks, or anyone else, but murder is murder, regardless of the albedo of the murderers. Again, the South does not work like northern suburbs.
Don't know much about Long Island, but Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Illinois, and Louisiana have a lot in common. I've heard rumors to the effect that the political system of Texas is also not exactly squeaky clean.
The Deep South and Long Island are different places.
And you seem unable to distinguish between reality, fantasy and the current behaviour of blacks. Everything, most times, seem perfectly logical to real lawyers and wannabee lawyers. However we live in a world of emotion and one today where self preservation is paramount when blacks are seen consistently loitering around. Lawyers are essentially word engineers, twisting narratives to achieve their goals which are : To satisfy the people PAYING THEM. This is clearly evident when we look at any case in Court. Both the Prosecution and Defence have far different spins on the "evidence and assumption, suspicion, and wish". Our country is run by Lawyers and given the state of the place this gives one a view of what they are all about. Now as you pointed out :He Arbery allegedly entered the house five times, consistently leaving without stealing anything. Not stealing is not evidence of stealing.I ask you Freddy, what if he had entered YOUR house in a similar manner. He may have left 5 times without stealing but what about the 6th time ? Maybe there would have been something to steal AND if the owner was around a murder added to the equation. That is just one example. If we look at all your other assertions and ask WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE we would get a different answer. You would not be so "logical" with your lawyer like B/S.
Many commenting on the adventure seem unable to distinguish between evidence and assumption, suspicion, and wish.
What claptrap ! Please tell us exactly which law school you attended !Hence your commentary is BUNK more so when we take into consideration Arbery;s past bad behaviours and brushes with the law. Arbery was an accident waiting to happen. Luckily this time it happened to him.As time passes and the public (black especially) loses interest, these three whites will be released. They had every justification for capping this wretched character depicted in his photos one way, as a smiling "about to enter University" scholar but in reality a hard faced loser with a criminal mentality and past.Replies: @Mackie Messer

I presumed Fredrico read the law. It is two sentences and establishes a different standard in each sentence. If the offense is a felony, which burglary is, then all the citizen arrester requires is reasonable suspicion and the McMichael's easily had that so the attempted arrest was legal and Arbery is the guilty party in attacking the younger McMichael and attempting to take his gun and presumably use it on he and his father.As has already been said by some great criminal defense and civil rights attorneys but juries should not be left to their own devices in interpreting the applicable laws. The judge should have instructed them on how to interpret the law and should have applied the concept of lenity to favor the defense given the contradictions and ambiguities in the citizens arrest law.Replies: @Curmudgeon

An unspecified number of trained demolitionists of unspecified origin, disguised in an unspecified manner, planted a large but unspecified quantity of explosive of unspecified origin over an unspecified number of days or months in an unspecified number of places of unspecified nature (supporting elements, perhaps) concealing both the explosives and their planting thereof from thousands of employees in an unspecified manner, the explosives being connected for detonation in an unspecified way. Otherwise it all seems clear. The explosive was either thermite, which isn’t, or nanothermite, which I have never encountered in relation to demolitions. I have never seen any indication of the slightest technical grasp of the field. How many are familiar with pentaerythritol tetranitrate, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, gamma-aminobutyric acid, salvarsan, or 1,4-diphenyl-polywannacrackerene? Why does nobody answer the question of how it was done?
Not an answer, but another question: could it be that the towers were designed in such a way that, if one started to fall over sideways, forces would be triggered which would make it collapse into its own footprint instead? I don't know if it's possible to design a building that way--perhaps a civil engineer or architect could weigh in--but if it is possible, I'd expect a New York skyscraper to be so built. The last thing you want is for it to topple into other buildings like a domino.Replies: @Pat Kittle

Serious journalists dismiss Truthers because they are silly cranks, like fifty or sixty other varieties of onspiracy theorists who believe that there are microchips in vaccines, space aliens in Roswell,FEMA, black helicopters, and (no doubt) dinosaurs being grown by the Pentagon as bio weapons. The cranks, being ignored, see this as further proof of conspiracy.
You are free to demonstrate your expertise in engineering and materials science.
To date, there is no physical explanation for the collapse of three of the World Trade Center towers onto their own footprints (i.e. vertically). The Twin Towers were hit by two planes, but were not shaken. ... A third tower was destabilised by the fall of the first two to its side. It too collapsed, not laterally, but vertically. It should be noted that no explanation was given for the lateral explosions heard by the firemen and widely filmed, nor for the vertical beams that were severed and not melted; two pieces of evidence attesting not to an accidental but to controlled demolition. It should also be noted that no collapse of skyscrapers has ever been observed, either before or after 9/11, following a large-scale fire... and that no one has learned the lessons of this attack and therefore changed the way such buildings are constructed to prevent such a catastrophe. Finally, the photographs taken by firefighters of "pools" of molten steel and those taken by FEMA of the melting rocks in which the foundations were built are inexplicable according to the official version.
Of course, and by "serious" you mean journalists that go along with the insoc narrative in the first place. Circular reasoning.Microchips in vaccines, dinosaurs being grown in the pentagon are on the same level of Dick Cheney refusing to let jets intercept the "highjacked" planes.Riiiight. You people(see post 44) know exactly what you're doing when you pull this crap.How did fire make the twin towers explode?Why did Cheney refuse to intercept the planes?

Looks like a retreat to me, leaving the choice between war and second fiddle.
For what it’s worth, methinks Ron by a wide margin got the better of the debate. Rationality vs. ideology. As a data point, I have a gringo friend in Chengdu who, after China said the virus was contained, reported via VPN that the city was completely back to normal. No masks, no restrictions, everything open.
Frederico pipes in just in time to sing in two-part harmony with Ron: “Trusta Big Pharma, goy! What could possibly go wrong?” And for the icing on the cake, he reassures us by implication: my gringo fren says “take the jab, you’ll be glad!”

Scha“Nov. 11, 1992, Dolores Alfond, the sister of missing airman Capt. Victor Apodaca and chair of the National Alliance of Families, an organization of relatives of POW/MIAs, testified at one of the Senate committee’s public hearings. She asked for information about data the government had gathered from electronic devices used in a classified program known as PAVE SPIKE.
▲▼The devices were motion sensors, dropped by air, designed to pick up enemy troop movements. Shaped on one end like a spike with an electronic pod and antenna on top, they were designed to stick in the ground as they fell. Air Force planes would drop them along the Ho Chi Minh trail and other supply routes. The devices, though primarily sensors, also had rescue capabilities. Someone on the ground—a downed airman or a prisoner on a labor gang —could manually enter data into the sensor. All data were regularly collected electronically by U.S. planes flying overhead. Alfond stated, without any challenge or contradiction by the committee, that in 1974, a year after the supposedly complete return of prisoners, the gathered data showed that a person or people had manually entered into the sensors—as U.S. pilots had been trained to do—no less than 20 authenticator numbers that corresponded exactly to the classified authenticator numbers of 20 U.S. POWs who were lost in Laos. Alfond added, according to the transcript, “This PAVE SPIKE intelligence is seamless, but the committee has not discussed it or released what it knows about PAVE SPIKE.”
L :et’s look at this.
First, Pave Spíke was not a sensor at all, but an LD pod–laser designator–and had no relation whatever to air-dropped sensors. Laser pods do not gather information.
Wikipedia: “The Westinghouse AN/ASQ-153\AN/AVQ-23 Pave Spike is an electro-optical laser designator targeting pod used to direct laser-guided bombs to target in daylight, visual conditions. It contained a laser boresighted to a television camera, which displayed its image on a cockpit screen.”
The program the MIA/POW folk thought they were thinking about was Igloo White:
Wikipedia: Operation Igloo White
This was the operation that dropped sensors. The Wikipedia entry is far too long to cut and paste, but you might find it informative.
Second: “…the committee has not discussed it or released what it knows about PAVE SPIKE.” The MIA/POW people were thus asking the Senate committee about data collected by devices that did not collect data. That the committee did not question this curious request suggests that they knew no more about Pave Spike and Igloo White than did the MIA/POW people. This too is not surprising. Senators seldom know anything about technology, much less that of classified military programs.
Third, the idea that Igloo White sensors contained data links of some sort for downed flyers is silly. The long, technically detailed Igloo White Wikipedia entry makes no mention of such rescue gear. In the diagram below of an Igloo White sensor, the absence of keyboard and of commo circuitry is evident.
Since the “rescue gear” did not exist, the story of the twenty PoWs or pilots and their authentication number is false.
Fourth, “…a year after the supposedly complete return of prisoners…” The batteries in the sensors lasted less than two months (see Igloo White Wikipedia entry) making the claim that signals were received a year later false.
Fifth, signals from the sensors had to be picked up by orbiting EW birds and relayed to NKP in Thailand. A year after the prisoners were supposedly returned, how many American electronic warfare planes were orbiting over the Trail?
The story of the twenty POWs is clearly a fabrication, not a mistake. Having been intimately involved in the MIA fracas, and knowing how journalism works in Washington, I will speculate with some confidence that an interested party fed the PAVE SPIKE-rescue-capability story to the MIA people who, being unfamiliar with military technology (often housewives) believed it because they wanted to believe it. Today, fact-checking a story like this takes a few minutes on Google, but the MIA people had neither the internet nor, it seems, the inclination. The paragraphs quoted at the beginning of this email contain other highly dubious claims but, since they cannot be demonstrated with a link, I pass over them.
nberg, whom I knew, was a technical illiterate and apparently did no fact-checking. E.g.,
Everything Derbyshire says is true, but his pretending to be an American annoys me. He is an Englishman, born and raised.

Derbyshire rails against non-whites yet has brought a non-white wife into America and fathered two half-white children. This does not bother me even slightly since I greatly like the Chinese and do not doubt that his kids are good citizens. But the sheer hypocrisy grates.
That's the point.

Mr. Thompson does not take into account that the virus does not exist, that it is a tool of depopulation, that the nanoparticles to reprogram our DNA sometimes blocs the implantation of Gates’ microchip, and anyway HCQ and vitamin D cure it. He obviously is working for Big Pharma.
Even though I spend a lot of time on the web, this is the first intelligent, informed, mathematically based analysis I have seen by someone who could pass a Rorschach test. Thank you, Mr. Thompson.
On one hand, the virus does not exist and, on the other, it is a tool of depopulation. These are deep waters. My guess is that, being a federally designed depopulation program, it just doesn’t work.
While this is all good fun, note that, if there actually is a dangerous virus, encouraging people to ignore it will lead to many deaths. Cockamamie theories about the Grassy Knoll and Roswell hurt nobody. This one can.
No it won't. Enough with the BULLSHIT. They keep panicking people with hysterical notions that "billions will die" if we don't lock people in their houses or force them to wear masks, or do this or that.

At the Department of Homeland Security, the phrase “illegal alien” is being replaced with “noncitizen.” The Interior Department now makes sure that mentions of its stakeholders include “Tribal” people (with a capital “T” as preferred by Native Americans, it said). The most unpopular two words in the Trump lexicon — “climate change” — are once again appearing on government websites and in documents; officials at the Environmental Protection Agency have even begun using the hashtag #climatecrisis on Twitter.
And across the government, L.G.B.T.Q. references are popping up everywhere. Visitors to the White House website are now asked whether they want to provide their pronouns when they fill out a contact form: she/her, he/him or they/them.
This is lunatic. On one hand, the fatality rate is close to zero. On the other hand, it is going to depopulate the world. Don’t forget the nano particles that are going to reprogram our DNA.

With russian columnists and RT.com enthusiastically supporting Trump, Russiagate people are going to see them as Russian agents, which of course would be false.
If Trump’s control of anarchy in his second term equals that of his first—no control as, for example, he was trapped in the White House while the mob vandalized a statue just across the street and set fire to the church, with later looting and arson being unopposed across the country—we would get better results by electing Tinker Belle. I am not sure the empire is quite as moribund ad I would like. The Empire firmly controls Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia, controls Europe nearly as firmly, has forced the world to stop trading with Iran against the wishes of everybody else, keeps Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela in semi-starvation, orders India to stop buying Iranian oil, still may block Nordstream II, successfully ordered England to drop Huawei with Europe looking to follow, confiscated Tictck, forced TSMC to stop selling to China and to build a five nm fab in the US, is crippling SMIC, ordered ASML not to sell seen nm lithography gear to China, commits piracy against Venezuela and murder against Soleimani, pushes NATO further against Russia, seems to have run a successful coup in Bolivia, continues to control the dollar, and so on at length. Perhaps Trump’s trade war till cripple China but it looks equally likely to lose American firms a huge market as China develops it own tech products instead of buying the, and then begins to compete with the US. Brilliant.
Trump's reticence may be calculated. Perhaps he and his handlers and enablers want to give us a taste of what to expect if Joe Biden is elected.

Good diagnosis. What is the cure? What specific, concrete policy do we need to follow?
None. The situation is self correcting. It's like the VD joke that ends "No operation. Is great waste of money! You wait two, three weeks, they fall off by own self."
What is the cure? What specific, concrete policy do we need to follow?
Who says there is a "cure?"What's this "we" business, anyway? What "policy" do rats leaving a sinking ship follow? That policy seems to work for some and if some reports are credible, that's what's happening in many big cities in the US as we type.That's one, of many, possible courses an individual can take but it ain't a cure and I doubt if there is one, especially one acceptable to the vast majority.

In Washington, no white in his right mind goes into black Anacostia while in Chirilagua, an Hispanic region in suburban Virginia, whites walk and dine with, so far as I no, exactly zero problem. My daughter Emily lives in a nearby Latino region, zero problems. In Chicago, I have encountered a friendly reception in Pilsen, a recently Hispanic region, and in Berwyn, a mostly Mexican middle class region. zero problems. In black Chicago, I wouldnot have come out alive. In LA, hours of walking in East LA, seldom seeing a white face. Zero problems. Hispanics are not blacks. White Nationalist, whose knowledge of other groups seems to come almost entirely from palapting statistic, will probably neve figure thisout.
In my experience, Ron is entirely right. In eighteen years in Mexsico, I have found the people to be friendly, intelligent, perfectly able to read for heaven’s sake, good neighbors, good parents, sending their children to university in large numbers, assuredly including the girls. Steve Sailer’s fantasies notwithstanding, the streets are clean, the doctors competent, the many celebraiions withoutvolence. They have virtually nothing in common with blacks. In my limited time in LA, peraps a month in total in recet years, I have found the Mexican population to be friendly and civil and, to judge by the number frestaurants, even enterpising.

A matter I would appreciate having discussed: The bioweapons people who would have had to design the virus would have known (a) that it would immediately come back to America on the hundreds of weekly flight, and (B) that America was not prepared to deal with it. Is this an unreasonable question?
Would they have known this...?
The bioweapons people who would have had to design the virus would have known...(B) that America was not prepared to deal with it.
The coronavirus SARS outbreak of 2003 was contained within east Asia, likewise the several coronavirus MERS outbreaks did not menace the whole world, so your presumption at (a) is not necessarily valid. Ron Unz deals with this same point at some length in his 21 April article. More generally you seem to be asking your questions on the basis that the USG and/or its controllers are persons of sound mind, or that they would even care about the suffering inflicted on the US masses. I would suggest, that by now you ought to have been disillusioned, on both these points and for some considerable time at that.

Bravo. From years of dealing with HBDers and evolutionists, I know that they simply refuse to engage any question whose answers would call into question their beliefs. Hauteur they do well, lofty silence, name-calling, but they will not look at their contradictions or admit ignorance. The rigidity, at first frustrating, eventually becomes almost amusing and certainly psychologically intriguing.

The Empire’s relative military power declines, but its presence remains. How does that end? Does Washington begin closing bases? That would be a shattering admission that the American wave was receding. Where would it begin? Afghanistan? But the oil lands? How fast would it go, and how far? Will Washington, feeling its fingers flipping, start a big war in desperation?
It is in several places simultaneously, Fred. But a stunner for me was the fact that after years of struggle the US Navy opted to use Finkantieri's design of what largely is a FREMM frigate and it also opted for Norwegian Kongsberg's Naval Strike Missile (same ol' subsonic better version of Harpoon). This is not your single OTO Melara on Oliver H. Perry FFGs. We are talking here the whole class of most wanted and in demand (operationally) combat ships. Well, that, plus F-35 FUBAR among many.

A week or so agon a friend sent me a YouTube link to a discussion by a pair of doctors who questioned the wisdom of the federal response and may have spoken about the origin. I donoo’t know because Youtube quickly took the video down. Thus do things happen here in China. The US, I meant to say.
Would the American biowarfare labs, quite aware of America’s unpreparedness for an epidemic, have loosed in China a virus which they would have known would quickly reach the US with the heavy China-US air trafic well known? Steve Hatfill, at the time of the anthrax scare a friend of minewas then at Ft. Detrick and told me at length about his concern with unreadiness and of his discussions with colleagues on the topic. Such an attack on China would make sense only if the US population were known to be immune. Which, it seems, it isn’t.
The Zionists have repressed Irving’s books by making them available on Amazon, but not in Kindle format, which I need. The exception is The War Path, about which Amazon says:
From February 1933, when he told his generals in secret of his ambition to conquer the East, to September 3, 1939, when he left the Berlin Chancellery for the Polish front, Adolf Hitler had one obsessive goal – to wage war and achieve German revenge and hegemony.
If anyone knows where Irving’s book can be found in electronic format, I would be grateful to know where.
Derbyshire is an ideological monorail. The evil Chinese put whatshisname in prison, while the US, democratic to the core, would never think of doing such an inhuman thing to, say, Assange, Manning or Snowden, right? How many million peple and how many countries has evil Chin killed and wrecked since, say nineteen sixty-five? China? But that’s all right because America does it to promote democracy and human rights. “Chicom”: This is virtue-signalling Cold War jargon, but anyone with a dictionary can find that China isn’t communist. Human rights? How much difference is there between Xiang Jiang and, say, -america’s black ghettos with up-against-the-wall, spread-your-legs stop-and-frisk? But we are not doing it to control a racial minority. Perish forfend. It’s to protect their rights or something.

I have yet to see a single hysterical person. Or hear of one. Here in Mexico you see clerks in masks, hand sanitizer dispensed at entrances to stores, that sort of thing, but everyone is perfectly calm. I grant that I am a bit of a fossil, but from a generation that thought is a good thing to know what words mean. Now telling a dirty joke is violence, reporting a brutal murder is racism, and washing your hands is hysteria. Sigh.
I am puzzled. I have seen no signs of hysteria, unless buy toilet paper in an hysterical enterprise. In Mexico, where I live, people seem normal, though there is much wearingof masks by employees of stores and suchlike.
Doubters make interesting points, yet…are the reports of trucks carrying large numbers of dead in Italy, of refrigerated trucks being used in New York to supplement morgues normal? Perhaps so. I am no authority. While the media and politicians promote the sensational, do we really believe that the great majority of epidemiologists, scientists all, are knowingly promoting a scare that threatens to cripple economies? Maybe so, but I would expect most scientists to think scientifically. Are the reports os shortages of ventilators false? Perhaps Why did the Chinese respond so drastically to what appears to be little more than normal flu? While theories that governments invented the scare to gain dictatorial powerss such a shortage of Haldol, that policy is being made on the basis of poor information r ring ture. Most confusing.
The "Politically Correct" elite 1% media and DNC Globalist politicians are anti-science. The ability to give or deny research grants gives Globalist politicians huge power to cull and purge legitimate scientists. The surviving grant recipients are those willing to return the preordained results.
I am puzzled ...

The Chinese, being an intelligent people, understand that the US is waging an undeclared war against them and feared that things had progressed from propaganda and economic to major bio-warfare so they responded appropriately it seems.
Why did the Chinese respond so drastically to what appears to be little more than normal flu?
Your confusion has been evident from reading your articles for quite some time now so I stopped reading them. Have a nice day.
Most confusing.
Italy has about 1000 hospitals. Deaths/day at maximum in Italy was approx 1,000, which by my calculations works out at roughly one death per hospital per day. So how are they filling these trucks? Do they start at one hospital, perhaps at one with a 'spike' of two or three corpses, and load em on one by one as they go round the rest?

[Fred Reed mode] America is decaying. There is no unified American culture anymore. There are lots of people mixed together from all over the world. There are bad ignorant Americans that are trying to prevent people from coming in from all over the world. Things don’t work well anymore. The new foreigners are better than those ignorant foreigner-hating Americans at working. America has changed for the worse from back when I was a kid when it was 90% white.
Trump is a clown. The TV news that I watch all day is full of people criticizing the President for everything and making fun of him. TV sucks. Americans should see how bad their country is on the TV. Trump wants a wall built. Bad ignorant Americans want a border barrier built. Walls don’t work. Americans just don’t want we Mexicans to assimilate and exchange bodily fluids with them. Mexicans don’t want to assimilate and be part of the crass, new, sick American culture that I watch on TV. Mexican culture is better and we have great engineering schools and gated communities. Mexico is better, so Mexicans don’t want to go to America. There is no need for a wall, but they don’t work anyway. Bodily fluids! [/Fred Reed mode]

Steve Hatfill, a friend of bright medical guy, repeatedly made the point to me that America was utterly unprepared for a biological attack, for all the reasons we are now seeing. He also said that plague existed inprairie dog populations out west and that with plastic milk jugs and other common things it could be amplified to attack quantities. While the assertions that he was behind the anthrax attacks by mail are absurd–his head didn’t work that way–he had a well developed sense of humor and I strongly suspect, with no evidence, that he was behind the phony anthrax placed outside B’nai Brith.. The press, apparently thinking anthrax was contagious, made fools of themselves, but did not think about poor preparedness. Good try, Steve, maybe.
More fantasy, poor fact checking, and error. There is no patent on Ebola and can’t be. From an old source of mine at the Patent Office:
“Yes, you are correct, the application was abandoned and no patent issued. The invention looks to me a method of making a vaccine which could be both for treating and prevention. Natural “products” cannot be patented and it is not trivial to make an attenuated virus which is of course not found in nature and does not cause disease. There are cases of faulty vaccines being administered that did cause the disease it was intended to prevent in some cases but that shows how difficult this game is.
What do you think of the conspiracy theories about coronavirus? Given the history of such viruses in China, I doubt this current breakout is related to anything military.”
I found this with a thirty-second Google search.
The post is full of such stuff. How do you infect “thousands of Guatemalans”with syphilis and gonorrhea? With squads of passionate CIA agents infected with these diseases? I think that clap is infectious only through the genital tract so that putting the bug in drinking water wouldn’t do it. On and on. And yes, I know that AIDS was invented by whites to kill blacks.

Transponders are turned on and off with switches in the cockpit. Is Giraldi suggesting that this transponder was equipped to be controlled from outside? Source of assertion that transponder was turned off? Can he name any commercial transponder with this feature? Does he know anythng about elctroic warfare? This sounds like the birthing of a conspiracy theory.
General aviation transponders produce a reply signal to air traffic secondary radars at the standard, known frequency of 1,090 MHz; hence they are easy to jam and make disappear from outside."Switch off" or "disappear" amounts to exactly the same, unless one is an automation engineer trying to be pedantic.

The downing was not accidental but the deliberate downing of a misidentified craft. The same is tru of the downing by the Vincennes of the Iranian airliner.

“(4) All the correlations – between IQ and shares of ethnic Russians and Kazakhs; between fertility rates and IQ; and between fertility rates and shares of ethnic Russians and Kazakhs – are exactly as one would expect.”
I would expect little correlation as birth rates change sharply and IQ presumably does not. Mexican birth rate is no 2.18 bpm, very nearly ZPG, but was far higher a few decades ago. Rising IQ? Was the post-war baby boom predominantly among the stupid? Perhaps. Hispanic birth rates in teh US have gone dn. Which way does this drive IQ in a space of ten or fifteen years?
Why do we say “defense spending” when we mean “military spending”? America has no military to defend against.

For what it’s worth, a professor of petroleum geology in Texas once told me that her Nigerian students were better prepared mathematically than the white American students.
Much of IQ theory is shaky. I might suggest that g, the ghostly metaphysical quantity as in “g-loading,” could use examination. I have interviewed black prisoners in such places as Lorton and the Cook County Jail, these men said to have IQs of 70. They were sharp, easily understood what I was saying, responded cogently and quickly, and showed no sign of being dim-witted. If they had very low IQs, the stupidity must have been concentrated in nonverbal areas. In my nine years as police reporter for the Washington Times, I found high verbal fluency of blacks to be the rule. (Notable exceptions were some of the elderly who tended to mumble.) Whites with a 70 IQ would be visible, and classified as, retarded.

Ravings by a lunatic seems a trifle rough for a magisterial and heavily researched piece. Still, the most parsimonious explanation for the lack of contact with alien civilizations is that there are none. This may be wrong, but until such a civilization is conclusively found, nonexistence remains a viable hypothesis. Likewise, until a first self replicating molecule is designed, demonstrated, and shown to be mathematically plausible, its nonexistence also remains possible. The paradox rests on the assumption that a finite probability of chance appearance of the molecule. Then we have a paradox. If we accept that seawater can give rise to Manhattan and to the information in the library of Congress and the human genome, then the probability of this times enough planets would indeed suggest the presence of many civilizations. But the fecundity of slightly polluted water has not been established, though it is furiously asserted.
While Anatoly is not remotely a lunatic, the piece does contain the extreme multiplication of hypotheses that I associate with conspiracy theories held passionately by men who, weirdly in my estimation, also are not lunatics.

This guy needs to learn to use the subjunctive, suggesting that he might be a sociologist.
Stopping immigration is a very good idea, but I weary of Derbyshire’s flag-wrapped crowing about his “patriotism.” He is no more an American than I am a Mexican. We are both foreigners legally resident in somebody else’s country. I at least have the minimal manners not to be a guest in the home of another and try to run the household’s affairs.
Precisely why does he, a legal alien, think that what he wants for a country not his is patriotism? That it is his business to decide? In this case patriotism is not the last refuge of a scoundrel but of a meddlesome Aunt Polly. The same might be said of Brimelow, another unreconstructed Brit.
If it sounds like a Brit, has the body language of a Brit, and moralizes like a Brit, it’s probably a Brit. No?
Like Coulter, Mac Donald, Brimelow and so on he is of the DC-Manhattan talking heads. Has he ever been to Latin America? Perhaps he has. For all I know, he has a doctorate in Latin Studies from the University of Buenos Aires. But if he doesn’t–if he hasn’t had the intellectual integrity to make some slight effort to find out what he is talking about–then he is as I have thought. I believe that in England they has an expression, “Bugger off,” n’est-ce pas? Or do your homework.
Indeed. It is not just in Silicon Vallley that Hispanic crime is disappointingly low. I make a point of asking about race relations with Latins everywhere I go, and ask friends in other places. DC, New York, Chicago{{Berwyn and Pilsen, for example–San Antonio, Houston, on and on. Nobody reports Breitbartian problems. Black crime, yes. My impression is that most of the alarmed, to include leaders of th Alt Right, have little or no experience of Latin America or Latinos.
The Los Angeles Unified School District has had less than about 15% White (at least at the High School level) for what seems like forever. Basically, Whites send their kids to the local elementary school but when they get to Jr. High (which is bused/integrated), it's off to private or parochial school. Of course this applies even (especially) to the most liberal Whites. It's a huge expense on top of the already insane property taxes.
Does anyone actually want a scenario by which there are more K-to-12-age Mestizos resident in the USA than White ethnic-core Americans (Northwest European), on target for circa the 2040s?
The Nine-Eleven conspiracy theory will remain a fringe curiosity until the CATs show that it was physically possible. Since almost nobody knows anything about controlled demolitions, this would require talking to, say, CDI to see what would be involved to produce the effects observed. If CTs want to impress each other by endlessly intoning “inside job” and “nanothermite,” well and good. But if they want to be taken seriously they need to do the basic research that a cub reporter at Boys’ Life would think to do.
Who has the burden proof here? It has been amply demonstrated that the official conspiracy theory is physically impossible. Considering that a proper forensic analysis was never carried out, and that anyone trying to analyze this therefore has to work with fragmentary data, it is absurd to demand that the truth community demonstrate in the minutest detail how exactly the explosions were carried out.For example, most organic explosives (like TNT or nitroglycerin) will burn up without a trace, unlike nanothermite. So, if nanothermite is all we find, that doesn't mean that nothing else was used - but without cooperation from the actual perpetrators, we have no way of knowing what additional explosives may have been used. However, the abundance of nanothermite in the dust clearly proves that explosives were used. Anyone who, in light of these facts, still honestly believes the official fairy tale is obviously feeble-minded.

Breakthrough: U.S. Attorney Agrees to Present Evidence of World Trade Center Demolition to Federal Grand JuryFinally, after 17 long years, the 9/11 Truth Movement has opened an avenue to prosecuting those responsible for the shocking destruction of the World Trade Center and the horrible loss of life that resulted.Last spring, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry — together with more than a dozen 9/11 family members and with help from AE911Truth — filed a petition with the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan demanding that he present evidence of unprosecuted federal crimes at the World Trade Center to a special grand jury.Then, in November, came the big news: The U.S. Attorney notified the Lawyers’ Committee in writing that he would comply with the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3332 requiring him to relay their report to a special grand jury.
Now the Lawyers’ Committee and AE911Truth need your support so we can work to ensure a thorough and successful grand jury investigation.https://lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org/2018/12/10/10-dec-2018-grand-jury-investigation-project-launches/

If a genetic analysis shows that he is fifty percent predestined to offend, does he get half a normal sentence? It sounds like a Get out of jail free card.

Colombia has a mean IQ of 84, yet runs airlines, which means maintaining avionics and big turbofans, has functional telecommunications, builds entirely modern cities, etc. There is no inconsistency if you say, clearly, without the usual evasion, that IQ 84 is sufficient to do these things. But then you have to say that American blacks, mean IQ 85, can also do these things. Then why don’t they? We are left with cultural and societal explanations, such as April touts.
Maybe IQ is just one factor among others? Maybe it's important, but not as significant as most IQers think it is? Maybe there are other, innate "biological" variables (hence, not societal-cultural) which should be accounted for?A look at history could be rewarding. Why did these Native American peoples build great civilizations (Olmecs, Mayas, Mixtecs, Toltecs, Aztecs, Incas,..)? And, sub-Saharan blacks- none?

Is there, or will there be, any comment on the effectiveness of Russsian air defense against the F-35s? In Russian Insider I find apocalyptic assertions that stealth is or shortly will be dead, welcome news if true, but nothing of substance.
You found it from my blog post which RI frivolously reposted and renamed without consulting me (as usual--it seems to be their MO) , but on substance--the answer is simple: signal processing based on modern processors and sensor fusion. Russians weren't too worried about so called "stealth" since late 1990s. Latest Vostok 2018 exercises which included a massive use of Air Defense systems involved a huge variety of VLO targets--didn't seem to be a problem. Knowing how Russians test and exercise--that wasn't a boasting. Russia/USSR is traditionally one of the leaders, if not the leader, in radar technology. I will abstain from going here into the whole "stealth" myth but under good RLP I had no problems tracking single birds on several different radar systems miles and miles away and this was in 1980s. Things changed since then. This is in general.
In Russian Insider I find apocalyptic assertions that stealth is or shortly will be dead,
Lambeth notes that things could have been much different had the Serbs had the S300...
NATO never fully succeeded in neutralizing the Serb IADS [integrated air defense system], and NATO aircraft operating over Serbia and Kosovo were always within the engagement envelopes of enemy SA-3 and SA-6 missiles— envelopes that extended as high as 50,000 feet.
Because of that persistent threat, mission planners had to place such high-value surveillance-and-reconnaissance platforms as the U-2 and JSTARS in less-than-ideal orbits to keep them outside the lethal reach of enemy SAMs.
Even during the operation’s final week, NATO spokesmen conceded that they could confirm the destruction of only three of Serbia’s approximately 25 known mobile SA-6 batteries.'
Since 1999, the last major SEAD [suppression of enemy air defense] operation by Nato...the Russian air defense capabilities have only become more lethal...the radars employed on the S300/400 series are phased array types which are very difficult to jam and much more precise in guiding a missile to the target...
'One SA-10/12 [early S300 variant] site in Belgrade and one in Pristina could have provided defensive coverage over all of Serbia and Kosovo. They also could have threatened Rivet Joint, Compass Call, and other key allied aircraft such as the airborne command and control center and the Navy’s E-2C operating well outside enemy airspace.
Fortunately for NATO, the Serb IADS did not include the latest-generation SAM equipment currently available on the international arms market.'
http://ausairpower.net/PVO-S/92N6-Grave-Stone-MiroslavGyurosi-1S.jpg
'With electronic beam steering, very low sidelobes and a narrow pencil beam mainlobe, the 30N6 phased array is more difficult to detect and track by an aircraft's warning receiver when not directly painted by the radar, and vastly more difficult to jam.
While it may have detectable backlobes, these are likely to be hard to detect from the forward sector of the radar. As most anti-radiation missiles rely on sidelobes to home in, the choice of engagement geometry is critical in attempting to kill a Flap Lid.'
This could be the most important part of the story, since the Syrians have a large number of S200 systems...it is certain that a number of additional S300/400 radars have been delivered as part of that '49 pieces' reported in Russian media...and these powerful and fully mobile radars [truck mounted] will be used to modernize the S200 network...
'In this arrangement, an SA-20/21 system with its high power aperture and highly jam resistant acquisition and engagement radars prosecutes an engagement, but rather than launching its organic 48N6 series missile rounds, it uses the SA-5 Gammon round instead...
The challenge which a hybrid SA-5/SA-20/SA-21 system presents is considerable. The SA-20/21 battery is highly mobile, and with modern digital frequency hopping radars, will be difficult to jam.
Soft kill and hard kill become problematic. In terms of defeating the SA-5 component of the hybrid, the only option is to jam the missile CW homing seeker, the effectiveness of which will depend entirely on the vintage of the 5G24N series seeker and the capabilities of the jamming equipment. If the customer opts for an upgrade to the seeker electronics, the seeker may be digital and very difficult to jam.'
http://ausairpower.net/PVO-S/91N6E-Big-Bird-S-400-1S.jpg
'The 64N6E Big Bird is the key to much of the improved engagement capability, and ballistic missile intercept capability in the later S-300P variants.
This system operates in the 2 GHz band and is a phased array with a 30% larger aperture than the US Navy SPY-1 Aegis radar, even accounting for its slightly larger wavelength it amounts to a mobile land based Aegis class package. It has no direct equivalent in the West.'
Kopp gives a good overview of the advanced Russian anti-stealth radars in this category...
[The F22's] radar signature is admittedly small in the forward quarter but only to airborne radars. The aircraft is detectable by high-power, low-frequency ground based radars...
...it is physically impossible to design shapes and radar absorptive material to simultaneously defeat low power, high-frequency enemy fighter radars, and high power, low-frequency ground based radars.'

Thishiding-behind story ssounds odd. Israeli ECM can’t handle S-200s, which they knew were there? I thought, subject to correction, that the S200 would have a mechanically scanned radar, being quite old, and therefore subject to range-gate pull-off and side-lobe pentration and all that standard ECM stuff. Would not the Israelis know well the charactersitics of AA sysstems they were flying against? But maybe not.
What is the geomatry of this story? The radar shadow of the Russian plane would be a cone whose width at a given distance would be a function of the Russians’ proximity to the radar and the Israelis’ distance from the Russian plane on the far side. Since F16s are not helicopters, to stay in the shadow they would have to fly on a line connecting the radar and the Russian plane—that is, directly toward it or away from it. So the Israelis notice that they are being tracked, instantly decide that they will hide behind the Russian plane, and do the naneuvering necessaray to….It all sounds like a pure Syrian IFF fuck-up, not an Israeli conjob.
OK. Obviously the issue of signal processing in old S-200 matters here, same as angular separation if any between targets, which in such systems is related directly to operator(s) skills. But that's the point--the oldest trick in the book was applied to a Russian aircraft and that is what matters here. Apart, from the fact that IAF really violated a key agreement between Russia and Israel by penetrating the forbidden zone. It becomes, thus, not merely technical but political issue and consequences must follow.

Controlled demolition is a highly technical and specialized field. For example, there are formulas specifying how much of what kind of explosive in what form placed where on particular shape of girder of what kind of steel are needed to cut it. Saying “nanothermite” over and over is not a technical explanation. It is very possible that I have missed something, but everything I have read on the matter has been vague, liberal-artsy, and devoid of the slightest familiarity with the use of explosives. I have seen no indication that anyone has done the research to tell an LSC from a ham sandwich. A competent reporter’s first step would be to interview people at CDI to see what would be necessary to drop the buildings. Having established that the prepping could be done without being overwhelmingly obvious, the truthers would be in a far stronger position. I am puzzled by the apparent lack of interest in the technical questions. I.e., possibility.
If the truthers want to convince others of the conspiracy, they need to make it plausible to the intelligent layman. They have not, at least if I qualify as an intelligent layman. The vagueness and fluidity make the story hard to accept or to critique. As an old newsman, I can assure you that without a whole lot more substance and fewer contradictions the controlled-demolition theory would never get past a desk editor. This, not complicity, is why the press ignores conspiracy theories. If truthers want to be taken seriously outside their own ranks, they need to decide on one story and answer questions about it rationally. Perhaps they can. So far as I know, they haven’t

What about the attack on the USS Liberty?Would a report of that event have gotten past your editor's desk, eh Fredo?Or would it have first been necessary to figure out what exact consistency of napalm they were dropping on the deck or the exact angle that the torpedo was launched at the ship, before any kind of significant reporting could be done?Wasn't it enough to know that Israel attacked our sailors in a cowardly and treacherous act of war, intending to murder every soul aboard, in order to blame someone else, and then get the US to fight ((their)) wars for them? How oddly characteristic of them!And when you consider that our entire fecal government at the highest levels, including our controlled media, were all complicit in the cover up of that singularly unspeakable act of mass-murder and betrayal, some might consider that a story that a real (as opposed to a deepstate whore) journalist might want to cover, no? How many stories have you written about that atrocity, eh Fredo?You were a war correspondent around that time, no? Perhaps it just wasn't a significant enough of an event to write about, huh?So the president and Commander in Chief, betrayed the lives of his (our) sailors to the enemy, and then lied about it. Nothing worth writing about there! Just like 9/11!So what if Israeli agents were filming the attack, and celebrating as our citizens were horrifically slaughtered in balls of fire. So what if these Israelis get billions of dollars from our citizens each year in tribute. Anyone who complains when they repay us by murdering our citizens, corrupting our government and getting us to spend our blood and treasure fighting endless wars on their behalf, is just an anti-Semite who's jealous of Jewish money making skills, huh?
As an old newsman, I can assure you that without a whole lot more substance and fewer contradictions the controlled-demolition theory would never get past a desk editor.
Guess what Fredo, no matter how you cook at it, even the official narrative of 9/11 is a 'conspiracy theory', even far less plausible than what the truthers now know. No Fredo, in order to write the truth about 9/11, (or the USS Liberty, or MH17, or Assad's "chemical attacks", or Israel's iron grip on our fecal government and media and institutions, etc...), all you have to have is the nads to tell the truth. You don't need any specialized scientific expertize in nano-whateverthefuck. No. All that's required are integrity and balls. Two things woefully lacking in the professional whournalism we suffer these days.
This, not complicity, is why the press ignores conspiracy theories.
Prosperity is a function of intelligence and other things. If you look at raw intellectual capacity, various Asians are HUGELY superior to all others. The disproportion between small Asian populations and their overwhelming dominance at high-end universities and elite high schools, on tests like National Merit, are boggling. If memory serves, the 2016—I’m not going to check—Math Olympiad championship team of the US was all Asian. Is this success explainable by their IQ advantage? It would seem to indicate that they will shortly dwarf a cognitively comparatively dim European world. They are said to be genetically unable to innovate. True? They can sure engineer, as the Kirin 980 and Q-bit work suggests.
Derbyshire seems at times to rely on the innumeracy of jis readers, whom he presumably knows well. Breitbart News wrote that “over 800,000” Dreamers have committed 2,139 crimes running from alien smuggling (probably their parents) and DUI to serious offenses. These criminals equal .267% of 800,000 or about a quarter of one percent of “more than 800,000” claimed by Breitbart. That is, one crime per about four hundred Dreamers. This is a crime wave?
So far as I know, and I will apologize if wrong, neither Derbyshire nor others at the topof the Alt-Right
have ever said what policy they want toward the forty or fifty million legal and heavily citizen Latins in the country. I presume this is becuse having a policy would be to admit that we now have a large Latin population and that would break ranks with the infuriated who seem to make upmost of the Alt-Right. This appeals to the low-IQ elements but does not help the country.
Personally I suspect that his Chinese wife is both decent and intelligent as that is what decent and intelligent men marry. This very likely applies to his children. But if I shared the attitude of his fellows in arms, or had the attitude toward hs wife that he has toward my Mexican wife, which I do not, I would note that he is polluting our precious bodily fluids with half-breeds. Eeeeeeek!
According to DHS statistics 59,786 DACA recipients, or nearly 8% of the 800,000 "Dreamers" have prior arrest records:
These criminals equal .267% of 800,000 or about a quarter of one percent of “more than 800,000” claimed by Breitbart.
Not quite, cowboy. What you read is that 2139 crimes were known to be committed by aliens who have actually applied for DREAMER status. That's not at all the same as everyone who's eligible to apply for that status, which is far more than 800,000 (it's likely in the high-single-digit millions, if we take reasonable estimates of the illegal population and its age profile). The ones with criminal records will tend not to apply, knowing their records will at best get their applications rejected, and at worst attract unwanted attention from the authorities. So those 2139 crimes were committed by the cleanest of the clean.
These criminals equal .267% of 800,000 or about a quarter of one percent of “more than 800,000” claimed by Breitbart. That is, one crime per about four hundred Dreamers.
If intelligence were environmental or cultural, all the children in Isaac Newton’s neighvorhood would be towering mathematical geniuses. Were they?
The notion that “pretty” equals “genetically superior” is crucial to evolutionary psychology but holds little if any water. In practice a small–i.e., weak–delicately built girl with a cute face and coquettish manner will leave the bar with the alpha guy while the strong, slightly chunky girl with the big nose and close-set eyes will stay behind. Health and fertility play no part. Unless you can show that hourglass-shaped women are more fertile than boxier ones, or that plain features correlate with lower resistance to disease or less endurance or lower intelligence or some such, the evolutionary just-so story fails. The assertion that not-so-attractive women have high levels of testosterone and so have spontaneous abortions is embarassing desperation.
1. Take your pick -- it's hardly a secret:
Unless you can show that hourglass-shaped women are more fertile than boxier ones
2. One of the most important (and universal) requirements for beauty is symmetry -- and asymmetry correlates with both higher genetic load and lower intelligence.
or that plain features correlate with lower resistance to disease or less endurance or lower intelligence or some such
You sure can't beat latinas, africans and orientals for demonstrated fecundity.

There is an awful lot of wishful thinking in this. Trump’s tactic is chutzpah, doing anything he wants and saying screw you if you can’t take a joke. Europe is so weak it can barely force through a gas pipeline against Washington’s displeasure. Neither China nor Russia is likeliy to go to war for Iran, and who else is there? If Iran did manage to block the Straits for more than a short time, do we think the Judaeo-Trumpians would say sorry and back off? Even if Trump used nukes, what could the world do? Be outraged, and learn not to cross the Empire. And diesel electrics have to surface.
There is a larger structure called Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Xi since 2016 was calling on accepting Iran into it, with Iran having currently an Observer status. For Russia it will be enough (which was done before already) to place some of its VKS units on Iranian airfields, especially under auspices of SCO military practices and even bombing will become a huge issue. Russia is not going to allow any hostile power to have direct access to Caspian Sea. Again, WHAT war? Combined Arms invasion--that will be the end of the US as we know it. Bombing? Let's wait an see. In fact, it is not up to Russia, it is up to Iran do decide how to proceed--Iran has options. Will she exercise them?
Neither China nor Russia is likeliy to go to war for Iran, and who else is there?
Ahh, what? Is the world "crossing" the Empire now? Russia is, but then again she can erase the Empire from the map. This mental construct is so "out there" that it is even difficult to respond properly to it. I omit here, of course, a gigantic political fallout for US which will make it a de facto a pariah in case it decides to use nukes. In fact, I can predict with a good degree of probability what is going to happen. For starters--dedollarization will go into overdrive.
Even if Trump used nukes, what could the world do? Be outraged, and learn not to cross the Empire. And diesel electrics have to surface.
The only thing with which I may agree here. In fact, if one of the US Navy carriers (God forbids), somehow gets damaged, let alone sunk, one may expect an escalation to a nuclear threshold since US is inherently nuclear weapons-biased since can not take any serious conventional losses, especially in terms of a naval assets. But I agree, that with about 2-3 air-wings in a vicinity of Hormuz Strait, plus the wing of ASW aviation on call--neither Iranian submarine forces, nor, especially those proverbial "speed boats" will be much of a strategic challenge.Replies: @FB, @Tim too
If Iran did manage to block the Straits for more than a short time, do we think the Judaeo-Trumpians would say sorry and back off
I wouldn't bet on that. I'm not as sure about China but even in the late 90s, when Russia was at an abyss, it occupied the Pristina airport and has also taken large positions in Syria, with the express threat to retaliate for any attacks on its troops.I could definitely see Russia playing this game. And using its hypersonic missiles to take out any US ships/bases attacking any Russian forces.China for its part is more likely to take an economic approach - continuing to purchase Iranian oil and fund the Iranian government, and not accepting any US "embargo". If the US were to forcibly intercept Chinese merchant vessels or oil tankers, I could see a trade war with the US erupting immediately and China blocking US ships in the South China Sea. Taiwan also opens up as a possible target.Iranian missiles can bring not only ship traffic to a halt, but destroy LNG terminals and other oil facilities. The huge jump in energy prices would cause a global depression.Meanwhile the entire planet will be furious with the US. Collapse of the Dollar Hegemony would be very likely, leading to a collapse of the US economy. Of course the MSM will support the war - one of the few things Trump can count on for "Liberals" to support, nay, laud and cheer, is the unprovoked destruction of an Islamic country.End of the day, a war with Iran would likely lead to WW III. Whether that war becomes nuclear cannot be ruled out. Hence the only ones crazy enough to risk it are the neo-cons, who want to exterminate most of the world population anyway, to then be ruled over by them.In fact that may be the entire plan. This will be the true "war to end all wars", as the Illuminati have finally achieved the technological edge to assure world dominion. But of course they are actually NOT all-knowing, and their predictions could be (likely are) utterly wrong.
Neither China nor Russia is likeliy to go to war for Iran, and who else is there?
“a synapse complexity expansion, which itself was followed by a genome duplication event 30 million years later. It was the mutation of all mutations, since the duplication then duplicated again, and it is from that freak 4 duplicated genomes that all vertebrate life descends.”
This is Just-So-Storyism of a high order.From the confident tone you would think the author was there.
“A” mutation? A synapse requires a stable gap, the production of a neurotransmitter, a storage mechanism, a mechanism to release it into the gap on arrival of a signal from upstream, receptors on the other side, and a mechanism by which the binding of the transmitter causes initiation of a downstream signal, sodium in, potassium out. I suppose acetylcholinesterase or some such might miraculously been added later to clean up. None of this would work without the rest being already in place. Many complex simultaneous mutations. Butin fairness I suppose the author has examined many fossilized synapses.
The brain being an electrochemical–that is, physica–mechanism, and every state of a physical mechanism being determined by the previous state, our thughts would seem to be determined and therefore not precisely thoughts. If this is not true, tell me why it is not.A neurotransmitter cannnot decide whether to diffuse across a gap any more than a bowling ball can decide to fall sideways, no? Therefore we cannnot think, QED. This tracks well with most of political commentary.
What is "we" that "can" or "cannot" in this sentence? The issue of free will is intractable. Either we have it or we do not. In materialistic world to which you and Dr. Thompson most likely subscribe there is no free will. Consciousness is just an epiphenomenon w/o any practical consequences. We are just philosophizing zombies whose philosophizing is inconsequential. Bertrand Russel rejected the no free will posture on practical grounds: life with a belief in no free will would be impossible. But where form can we get free will? Only from God. It must be postulated and the materialistic framework must be abandoned. You have to postulate the free will and step outside the materialist framework. God gave you free will. Take it or leave it. And obviouly you can leave it as a philosophizing zombie whose philosophizing even if full of antinomies and contradictions have no consequences. "You" "can" say and think whatever you "want" because it is not in your control anyway and your belief in free will is just a pretense if you subscribe to materialism.

In his Gifford Lectures of 1927, Arthur Stanley Eddington had described himself as unable "to form a satisfactory conception of any kind of law or causal sequence which shall be other than deterministic." Eddington had already established himself as the leading interpreter of the new relativity and quantum physics. His astronomical measurements of light bending as it passes the sun had confirmed Einstein's general relativity theory.
A year later, in response to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Eddington revised his lectures for publication as The Nature of the Physical World. There he announced "It is a consequence of the advent of the quantum theory that physics is no longer pledged to a scheme of deterministic law," and enthusiastically identified indeterminism with freedom of the will.
But Eddington left himself open to the charge since Epicurus' time, that chance could not be identified with freedom. He was apparently unaware of the work of William James or Henri Poincaré to make deliberation a two-stage process - first random possibilities, then a choice. A decade later, in his 1939 book The Philosophy of Physical Science, just a few years before his death, he reluctantly concluded there is no "halfway house" between randomness and determinism - an echo of Hume's "no medium betwixt chance and an absolute necessity."
Why, if our thoughts are determined, (as they indeed are) do they stop being thoughts?I'm thinking right now that I'm going to write this next word; lomatricine.I thought up that 'word', and in doing so, brought to bear all of my respective nature and nurture, all of which are a consequence of what transpired previously. There is no way I could have thought of that word, were it not for what I was born as, and the life and experiences I've lived subsequently. If there were such a thing as free will, then you'd be able to think in anyway possible. You'd be literally free to think as a Somali teenage girl, or have a thought that your typical Oprah fan would have on any given day. But you can't do that, because you're limited by being Fred, and having been born with your particular gifts and proclivities and penchants, some of which are a consequence of your 'nurture', which to say is the experiences you've had over your years. If our will were free, we could think in anyway and everyway we liked, and be free to have thoughts that would transcend Aristotle. But we can't, because our will, and our minds are limited in exactly the way you point out, being as our brains are organic, and subject to those limitations.So the act of thinking, is not any less so because of those limitations. We do indeed think, but it's like a dog thinks, (I want food, I want pussy, that other dog better watch out or I'm gonna whup some arse). What it isn't like is how a God would think, iow unlimited by mortal flesh.We are mortal, and limited. But that doesn't stop us from thinking of words like lomatricine. if it suits our whim.

Mr. Derbyshire is dreaming. The East Asians are smarter than whites, and know it, as well as very racially conscios and nationalisitc. Look at their academic performance in the US. Why would they want an alliance with an inferior race?
Yeah, and why even move here and try to live in all the cities with all those white people? It's not like they don't have a few dozen cities as big as NYC of their own, full of Chinese people.
Why would they want an alliance with an inferior race?
I don't think whites are inferior to East Asians intellectually but the history of the West in the past century does suggest that we're culturally inferior. Our culture seems to have a built-in self-destruct device and so far we haven't found any way to de-activate it.

Since a writer of opinion is expressing his opinion, pretending otherwise is silly. The thuddingly awkward “this reporter” or the unbearably cute “your scribe” or gummily evasive passive voice make for disagreeable prose. The AP Style Book is perhaps desirable for enforcing homgeneity on news copy but make for drab English.
It is thought by this writer that that the border people should be strangled. So should most of the government. German backpackers get the same treatment. Or ask people from Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, or Cuba.
Political innumeracy is not unique to the Alt-Right (“Let’s deport twelve million illegals.”). At least 800,000,000 Indians, at least eighty percent of black Africa, most of Pakistan, several hunred million Latin American, and all of Haiti would come to the US under genuine open borders. Ideologues seem to have a glandular, or low-inteligence, mode that they use when trying to think about politics. They proabably have buttons on the backs of their heads to switch between modes.
That is correct, but remember that the 'Alt-Right' are really just another form of leftist, since their economic views are left-wing. Nazi Germany was left-wing.
Political innumeracy is not unique to the Alt-Right (“Let’s deport twelve million illegals.”).
Too true ... too true ... and innumeracy does not stop South of the Border either, mi amigo. It's amazing that people that think of themselves as numerate can pull a number of 12,000,000 people (not 10 million, not 15 million) out of their asses when the number of "reported" illegal alien Hispanics was said to be 11,000,000 in 2001. By definition, even a +/- 25 % estimate cannot be guaranteed, as people with fake ID's and no ID's and similar foreign looks are hard to, like "IDentify". Yet, the difference in population in the 17 years has been noticeable by almost all Americans since then. Seriously numerate people, such as engineers, know HOW WELL THEY KNOW A NUMBER - it's called a tolerance.That aside, all the numeracy in the world can't make up for lack of common sense. It has been noted by most of us that the cop giving out 30 $250/4-point tickets each day on the interstate has slowed down many more than 30 cars. That makes us understand that deportation of even a small number, say 10 %, of the 25,000,000 illegal aliens (# pulled out of MY ass) done in a serious determined way could make the other 90% vamoose in a more relaxed manner. Lots of us can understand that such a process can run a few years, on an accelerating schedule due to something called the "learning curve". In the blogging world, putting out poorly thought-out comments and refusing to read the common-sense replies is not the way to stay on that "learning curve".
Political innumeracy is not unique to the Alt-Right ...
“The logic is inescapable. An adult who crosses the border without authorization is liable to arrest and detention, quite rightly so. If there are children with him, those children need to be detained and cared for, too; though since it’s the adult who broke the law, not the child, this is a child-care issue, not a law-enforcement issue.”
Mr. Derbyshire is speaking of the Dreamers, I assume.
Dergyshire also seems to have a keen eye on where his bread is buttered with respect to the very large and non-deportable Hispanic population, refusing, so far as I know, to staue what policy he favors toward them. To concede their permanence, much less to favor assimilation, would get him blackballed by the Alt-Right, so, I suspect, he avoids the subject. I don’t blame him as I would probably do the same if my speaking invitations depended on following the party line. In my active journalistic day I, like all writers, knew what you couldn’t say, and who you couldn’t say it about.
The obvious genetic superiority of Asians to whites is so great that the Chinese objection to miscegenation with whites makes complete sense. It also makes very likely the dominance of the planet by these superior people unless Washing starts a serious war wuickly. Biology is destiny, it is said, and the biology is unmistakeable. But is not it better to have the superior race in charge, however Negro-like it may make many whites feel??
Yes Fredrico, the superiority of East Asians is so great that China has to steal all of our advanced technology developed by the inferior white males via industrial espionage, one sided offset contracts, and blackmail. One area where they are superior to whites, far superior, is in their racial pride and refusal to allow immigrants unlike themselves, especially Latin Americans, into China.

What kind of wall, specifically, does Mr. Derbyshire want, and what do CIVIL ENGINEERS , as distinct from professional talking heads, say about its cost and the time needed to build it?
What specifically, practically, concretely, does Mr. Derbyshire propose , after defeating amnesty, to do about Breitbart’s eight hundred thousand, or Vdares two million, DACA people? A clear, programmatic, explicit answer would help. Deport them? For twelve million illegals, that’s 125,000 a month for eight years, for two million, 20,800 a month, and for 800,000, about 8,300. How, specifivally, does Mr. Derbyshire, plan to bring this about? If he does not want to deport the, what, specifically, does he propose jto do about them?
Can anyone imagine chemists arguing over whether Planck’s constant was 6.67 x 10 to the -27 erg-sec or, instead, 6.023 times ten to the 23, with sixty-four percent of Democrats favoring the first and eighty-six percent of Republicans the latter? Psychology appears not to be a science but a mixture of Ouija board, political ideology, and shaky statistics.

The author made the point to me that English is not his first language, though he certainly writes it well, and that his mention of serial numbers may have been misleading. It was, at least for me. In any event I retract my criticism.
“the bullet tested in laboratory to be compared to the the one extracted from Robert’s brain had not been shot by Sirhan’s revolver, but by another gun, with a different serial number; ”
The author seems blankly ignorant of guns, apparently believing that a serial number can be determined from a bullet. He sounds as though he has some vague recollection that marking left by lands and grooves on bullets are unique to the gun firing them, and somehow confuses this with serial numbers. Amateurish research does not breed confidence in conclusions. Does he give a link to which labortory and its report?
Anatoly Karlin: “Reed – The US needs to imports tens of millions more Hispanics [insert some boomer strawman argument about how stupid and uninformed Alt Righters are]”
Karlin appears to be a lock-step thinker who reads what he expects rather than what is written. I have said endlessly that mass immigration was a mistake, that America should close its border and assimilate those immigratnts who cannot be deported. This turns into “Fred wants to import millions….” Where does he get this stuff? It is a sort of illiteracy of the higly literate. And confirms my views of Alt-Righters.
I and others who are not white nationalists or alt-righters have the distinct impression that this means "all of them-- now or in the future". Of course you may think otherwise, but I do not think an impartial reader would get that idea from your columns. I certainly don't.

Does anyone think that Trump or anyone else is going to push 800,000 people across the border by any means whatever? Ending DACA will just unemploy them and add them to the underclass. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Call it the separation of policy and arithmetic.
Okay, then end DACA and deny welfare benefits to illegals. They figured out how to get here; they can figure out how to get back to Guatemala and environs. And, by god, they can FIX GUATEMALA. And Mexico. And El Salvador. And Costa Rica. And Nicaragua.
Ending DACA will just unemploy them and add them to the underclass.
The paper should be published regardless of who doesn’t like it. Intelligence is clearly largely genetic, as witness pit bulls and Border Collies. Yet something else may be going on. Think the lumiferous ether before Michaelson-Morley.
Pure-blooded MesoAmerican Indians in Mexico have a mean IQ of 83, yet invented writing, done perhaps three times in all history, as well as the wheel and an exponential-positional number system, better than anything in Europe at the time, and built five-story concrete buildings, one of which I have been in.
Colombiams have a mean IQ of 84, but run a country with airlines, telecommunications etc and design and build skyscrapers.
American blacks have a mean IQ of 85, and therefore are capable of inventing writing and number systems as well as running modern cities with internet and so on.
Why don't you start Fred's Journal of Yahoo Science and publish it? What do you know about scientific standards? Piffer's paper should have been shot down and it was. It is strange however that some reviewers gave it a pass. This what you get when referees are anonymous.

In a piece of 1700 words on racial differences, wouldn’t you expect an honest observer to note, in perhaps one or two sentences, the stark difference between the often very nearly illitrate Hispanics in the US and the very differnt picture of, say, Mexican kids in Mexico? Whatever the explanation, ignoring the question, or perhaps simply not knowing enough to know that there is a question, is, well, normal.
Yes, one would expect that. One might also ask why a "responsible, modern, education-oriented" regime, like that of Mexico, would dump its poor and uneducatable into the American kiddie pool?

We are told that all the missiles hit their targets, that seventy percent were shot down by Soviet-era anti-aircraft defenses, and everything between. I wish someone with the knowledge to do so would say what if anything was shot down by what, what the incoming missiles were, and so on. Soviet weaponry was lousy almost across the board and across decades. If the seventy-percent figure is correct, which I extremely doubt, US effectiveness has gone backward.
What Mr. Derbyshire says in re blacks and Hispanics is entirely correct in my considerable experience of both but runs against the assertions of the Alt-Right that theLatin presence results in a crime wave. I have walked the streetsof Guadalajara for some fifteen yeas without receiving a cross look. I do not recommend trying it in Detroit.
Picnic ants attacking a Border Collie.I wish Mr. Derbyshire would write a piece detailing his observations of the academic quality of students and courses at schools which he has visited. I have a daughter who teaches at various schools–George Mason, Brown, Amherst, what have you–andmy impression through her is that quality has dropped drastically since the early Sixties, but she is too young to make the comparison.
The doctrine of evolutionary selection does not seem reliable, for Jews or anyone else. There exist genes for the intelligence of Hawking, the eyesight of Ted Williams, the strength, agility, and endurance of Mohamed Ali. These have not becomes common in the population, and indeed seem no more so than in classical antiquity. Either these traits do not contribute to fitness, or something is wrong with the whole enterprise. No? Which would make theories of evolutionary strategies—does evolution have strategies?–somewhat questionable.

The upshot is that the Chinese, clearly more intelligent than whites and outnumber whites with a billion Han Chinese to America’s 200 million whites, must inevitably, short of nuclear war, dominate the inferior races, including us. They are well on the way to doing this, for example completely dominating US high-end high schools and technical universities. I suggest that on the basis of genetics we should go quietly into the night in the interest of, like Neanderthals, allowing the advance of humanity.
Why is it that I used to read that at the eight-hundred level there were more boys that girls on the SAT?
