Chinese Eugenics, Race and Super-Babies By Brian Simpson

     While decadent scientists, if they can be called that, deny that race exists, the Chinese are blasting ahead with race-based eugenics, making a ironic  lie to the socialist sciences of the West:
  https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612997/the-crispr-twins-had-their-brains-altered/

“The brains of two genetically edited girls born in China last year may have been changed in ways that enhance cognition and memory, scientists say. The twins, called Lulu and Nana, reportedly had their genes modified before birth by a Chinese scientific team using the new editing tool CRISPR. The goal was to make the girls immune to infection by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Now, new research shows that the same alteration introduced into the girls’ DNA, deletion of a gene called CCR5, not only makes mice smarter but also improves human brain recovery after stroke, and could be linked to greater success in school. “The answer is likely yes, it did affect their brains,” says Alcino J. Silva, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, whose lab uncovered a major new role for the CCR5 gene in memory and the brain’s ability to form new connections. “The simplest interpretation is that those mutations will probably have an impact on cognitive function in the twins,” says Silva. He says the exact effect on the girls’ cognition is impossible to predict, and “that is why it should not be done.”

Surviving “the Worst Evaaaah” By Viv Forbes

1 March 2019,          The media loves disaster stories – floods, cyclones, heat waves, droughts and fires - each one “the worst Evaaaah” (evaah since the last one). Each report of catastrophe is usually followed by a religious chant about “man-made global warming”. Pretending we can change global climate by waging a war on carbon dioxide is foolish and dangerous nonsense. Sensible people accept that natural disasters have happened, and will happen again. We cannot stop that, but like the Boy Scouts, we can “Be Prepared” by ensuring our essential infrastructure is more weather-proof. When cyclones, floods, droughts and bushfires strike we need disaster-proof helipads, rail links, roads, bridges, water and electricity supply. Not one solar farm or wind turbine will survive a severe cyclone, and in wild, cloudy weather they will produce zero power. And giant batteries/pumped storage are just a short-term energy crutch, not a source of reliable energy. We cannot change the climate no matter what we spend. But we must adapt and prepare for the inevitable cyclones, floods, droughts and bushfires. There will always be one that challenges past records. Three things are needed:

To prevent catastrophic bushfires, we need to remove excess fuel with frequent small controlled fires.

Huawei and the Rise of China; Why I am Not Surprised By James Reed

     I have not fully digested everything about the current fears over China’s mega-high-tech firm, Huawei, but the internet has numerous mainstream articles and items expressing alarm about what is going on. Thus, The Epoch Times of December 2018, has an entire special edition devoted to the “company’s opaque operations.” The Chinese Communist Party has a big role in the company’s leadership, and why should we be surprised at that? Well, this raises the issue about whether the company shares data with the Chinese authorities. But, again I think, no shock here, why would they not, for this is not a liberal capitalist country, but a communist dictatorship, and that is what they do? The West seems to be upset that China is not playing by the liberal/globalist rules, but why should China?

     Should we astonished to learn that Huawei plays a role in the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance of the entire society? Why would it not? Thus, nothing surprising for anyone who knows even a little about how China works. I offer no condemnation, because that is just how things are, and the naïve West needs to understand that is how the game is played now.
Here are some more mainstream internet sites saying much the same thing:

Friends of the Devil By Peter West

     The Pope does not like criticism too much, and who does? The Catholic Church has come in for its measure of attack with all of the paedophile claims over the last few years, so everybody at the Vatican, I imagine is in siege mode, with sandbags and mental fortifications, everywhere. No doubt, this is all, as usual, the “work of the devil”:
  https://nypost.com/2019/02/20/pope-francis-calls-catholic-church-critics-friends-of-the-devil/

“Pope Francis said that people who constantly criticize the Catholic church are “friends of the devil” — on the eve of the Vatican summit on dealing with the sex abuse of minors. Speaking to pilgrims in southern Italy Wednesday, the pontiff said that the church’s “defects” needed to be denounced so that they could be fixed. But, he said that those who repeatedly accuse the church were: “the friends, cousins and relatives of the devil.” “One cannot live a whole life accusing, accusing, accusing, the church,” Francis said. The comments came the day before the Vatican summit on clergy sex abuse and cover-ups by church leaders. “This is a slap in the face to all survivors,” Judy Larson, vice president of the organization Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, told The Post. “One the eve of a summit that’s supposed to provide the hierarchy of the Catholic Church with policies that will protect children from sexual predators, accusing survivors is unbelievable. “[The pope] is presenting this summit as some form of hope that those who are responsible will be held accountable, at this point there is no hope with statements like that.” A group of 12 survivors of abuse from around the world met on Wednesday with the organizers of the summit, which is set to last until Feb. 24. One of the survivors, Pennsylvania native Shaun Dougherty, brought pictures of victims of clergy sex abuse who had committed suicide and messages from their parents to the meeting and handed them to the organizers.”

The Diversity of the Knife By Richard Miller

     As we all know, guns cause crime, firing themselves, so the gun banners say, so the same must be true of knives, which grow legs and arms and stab people. If this was not so, then there would be something mighty problematic to explain:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/21/five-german-cities-see-stabbing-attacks-on-same-day/

“Earlier this week five German cities saw stabbing attacks on the same day with several hospitalised and at least two migrants declared suspects in connection with the attacks. The attacks have generated considerable media attention in once-peaceful Germany, where this level of violence is unusual. The first attack occurred in Cologne at around 4:40 am Sunday and came about following a dispute at a local hookah bar. As the dispute became more aggressive, violence broke out with one of the men involved stabbing another man several times with a sharp object, forcing him to require emergency surgery to save his life, German tabloid Bild reports. … Another man described as having an Arabic background is wanted by police for a stabbing in Mülheim an der Ruhr along with four other suspects. The victim claimed that he had been lured to the site of the stabbing by an acquaintance and was then attacked on arrival. The suspect in the final knife attack in Frankfurt, a 19-year-old, phoned the police and gave himself up after he is alleged to have been involved, along with seven others, in the stabbing of a 22-year-old who was hospitalised. The attacks come just two months after three women were stabbed in Nuremberg and just over a month after an Afghan migrant stabbed a pregnant 25-year-old Polish woman killing her unborn child in the process.’

Guns at the Anti-Gun Oscars By John Steele

     Whenever I have the opportunity I like to point out the utter hypocrisy of the chattering class on the gun issue; happy to take away guns from the ordinary people, but oh so quick to have armed guards protect their precious professionally fake carcasses:
  https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/02/24/gun-control-celebrities-enjoy-security-similar-to-a-u-s-president-at-oscars/

“Pro-gun control Hollywood celebrities attending Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony will enjoy security “similar to when a U.S. president visits” Los Angeles, according to law enforcement. The Hollywood Reporter notes that “a huge chunk of the [Los Angeles Police Department’s] 10,072 sworn officers will be on hand” for the Oscars. Moreover, they spoke to an officer who indicated Sunday will be a “mid-to-max deployment day” involving protocols similar to those used when presidents visit. An LAPD spokesperson said, “We will deploy enough officers to ensure the safety of all the citizens and Oscar attendees. We hope for the best and are prepared for the worst.” Yet even as they benefited from good guys with guns, the anti-gun stalwarts in Hollywood wore their pro-gun control accessories to the high-profile event. Prior to the 2018 Oscars, several celebrities made clear their “plan to wear orange lapel pins on the red carpet and during tonight’s ceremony in support of gun control and the Michael Bloomberg-founded gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.” We witnessed a similar situation at the 2016 Oscars, when celebrities wore gun control bracelets while surrounded by massive amounts of armed security.”

A Gay, Gay, Gay World By Mrs Vera West

     My, how the times change. The drive now is to decriminalise homosexuality in the entire world. That means the Muslim world, the Middle East, and most of Africa, all pushed by the Rump administration:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-19/grenell-launches-trump-admin-effort-towards-global-decriminalization-homosexuality
  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-launches-global-effort-end-criminalization-homosexuality-n973081

“The Trump administration is launching a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it's still illegal to be gay, U.S. officials tell NBC News, a bid aimed in part at denouncing Iran over its human rights record. U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality — mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. “It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,” said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.”

Questioning Darwinism By Brian Simpson

     According to mainstream science, about 97 percent of biologists, life evolved from the primal slime, moving from single cell organisms to humans. It did this without the intervention of intelligence, no space people, or gods/God. The mechanism was, and is, random mutations, that are then subjected to natural selection. But selection by definition means that there has to be something to first select, so everything goes back to random mutations. Geneticists admit that most random mutations are deleterious, and thus bad, but there are low probability mutations that are beneficial, and these are selected. What is supposed here is that there is some sort of pre-established harmony between environmental needs and these random mutations. Thus, moths in an industrial area, where there is pollution, would benefit from darker colours. Sure, natural selection would favour the darker moths of species X, but what if there were NO darker moths to start out with? How would a random mutation happily occur to produce just the needed colour change? Surely the chances of this are infinitesimal, since there is no mechanism linking the need of the species, with its genetic; it is all random after all.

Sexuality, Health and the Welfare of Lesbians By Mrs Vera West

     If I have read my notes from last year’s Cultural Studies class, which for a joke I enrolled in at the local uni., that health and sexuality are intrinsically intertwined. Thus, lesbians are eternally discriminated against in this oppressive patriarchal, racist, discriminatory, racist, bad, bad, more bad, society, so they are fatter than heterosexual women, and that leads to health problems, or so the bad, bad, racist, bad, health establishment, patriarchal, bad, bad, bad, etc.,  say:
  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/02/21/lesbians-likely-overweight-experts-find-sexuality-linked-health/

“A new study reveals that sexual orientation may be an indicator of weight and health. In a report published in the Journal of Public Health, researchers at University College London and University of East Anglia in the UK say that lesbian and bisexual women are more likely to be overweight than their heterosexual female counterparts. Conversely, they also found that gay men are less likely to be overweight than straight men. Lead researcher Dr. Joanna Semlyen believes certain “psychosocial stressors” put on the homosexual community in particular make sexual identity a valid “social determinant of health.” She tells The Guardian, “These stressors include homophobia and heterosexism … and are known to be linked to health.” Results on either side of the sexual orientation spectrum are “worrying,” says Semlyen, as there are a number of health concerns associated with being overweight and underweight. This study collected data from 12 UK national health surveys consisting of 93,429 participants, and is considered the first of its kind to investigate a correlation between sexual identity and body mass index. Semlyen notes that these surveys did not record sexual orientation until 2008.”

Young Euro-White Genius Builds the Sun in His Room! By Brian Simpson

     This is a story that magazines such as American Renaissance, who champion the East Asian intellectual supremacy thesis, based on the fallacious argument that a differences between population means establishes the supremacy of East Asian over “whites,” should loudly celebrate.  Here is a story of Euro-American genius:
  https://www.foxnews.com/science/teen-builds-working-nuclear-fusion-reactor-in-memphis-home

“Some kids spend their time on social media, other kids spend their time playing video games. When it comes to 14-year-old Jackson Oswalt, his time is spent in a laboratory working on a nuclear fusion reactor. The Memphis teen finished his reactor and achieved fusion at the age of 13. He’s regarded by experts as the youngest in America – maybe even the world – to accomplish it. Jackson built a steel machine made up of vacuums, pumps and chambers that is capable of smashing atoms together through force in a smoking hot plasma center that releases a burst of fusion energy. If you’ve ever wondered how the sun and other stars are powered, the process within Jackson’s nuclear fusion reactor is comparable. He began working on the fusion reactor at 12 years old, after concluding that he didn’t want to dedicate his leisure time solely to playing games like Fortnite. He began scouring the Internet for nuclear-related things because that’s what he says held his interest. Yes — at 12 years old.”

Can We Use Communist Tactics Against the Globo-Commos? And, is it Right? By Peter West

     We have been screaming about the coming bad times and the need for people to either do something to prevent it, and/or prepare for the great train wreck, and the fast train coming of global socialism/communism, which will be planted in post-Trump America in 2020, where it will spread instantly to Australia, and kill us all.

Is the Earth Flat, or Just Shaped like a Chocolate Donut? I Ponder By Uncle Len, Amateur Cosmologist

     Fighting depression, heart disease, diabetes, syndrome X, Y and Z, as well as many pathologies unknown to modern science, I am back with a bright, fresh and shining article about the flat Earth theory. Well, no not really, just about the freedom to expound on controversial things. One, it was not controversial to believe, and say that the Earth was flat. Now, although it is not yet illegal, Big Tech is clamping down on it, having put the big stomping boots onto race/gender/immigration issues, that maybe 50 years ago, would have ben uncontroversial. It is all about power and who runs the great cesspool of society.

     Anyway, Mike Adams is not going to censor flat Earth videos, and that makes my day;

The Great Global Warming Scandal By James Reed

     Well, looky see, those objective climate scientist are doing all sorts of weird and less-than-wonderful things to the basic data, and bingo, global warming and climatic catastrophe. Just like magic:
  https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/02/the-greatest-scandal-in-the-history-of-science.php

“More warming adjustments from ACORN2. Once again we find that the oldest thermometers were apparently reading artificially high even though many were newish in 1910 and placed in approved Stevenson screens.)  This is also despite the additional urban warming effect of a population that grew 400% since then. What are the odds?! Fortunately, gifted , sorry scientists have uncovered the true readings from the old biased thermometers which they explain carefully in a 67 page impenetrable document. Chris Gillham has soldiered through the new “ACORN 2? adjustments that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has o-so-quietly released and Australians are just waking up to find that our coldest mornings back in 1910 were even colder than anyone realized at the time. Graham Lloyd is  reporting in The Australian how the second rewrite in six years increases the warming by 23% . (Where was the ABC announcement?)

Now They’re Doing a Job on John Wayne! By Bruce Bennett

     Most John Wayne fans knew about this along ago, but in a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine, iconic actor John Wayne said that he supported “white supremacy”: 
  https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-waynes-family-responds-to-actors-controversial-1971-interview-with-playboy

“Wayne was also asked about educator/activist Angela Davis and discrimination. He responded, “With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.” Lewis then shot back at Wayne, asking if the actor was equipped to judge “which blacks are irresponsible and which of their leaders inexperienced.” Wayne responded, “It’s not judgment. The academic community has developed certain tests that determine whether the blacks are sufficiently equipped scholastically. But some blacks have tried to force the issue and enter college when they haven’t passed the tests and don’t have the requisite background.”

Next Come the Concentration Camps By Chris Knight

     Concentration camps? Isn’t that a far-Right tin foil hat, whatever, idea? No, apparently not, because hidden in the heart of darkness of the progressives is a darker desire to kill, crush and destroy, cuddly creatures like us. And, here I was thinking that they loved diversity and only wanted to help us see the eternal lights of multicultural harmony! Apparently, not so:

“Kaitlin Bennett went undercover at UCLA as Jenna Talia to ask students to sign a petition to throw conservatives into involuntary re-education camps. Not only were the students she approached ecstatic to sign it, but one member of UCLA’s student government encouraged her to change the language to “diversity” and “sensitivity training” to hide their real intentions so the administration would approve it.”

A French Jewish Philosopher on Anti-Semitism Caused by Mass Immigration By Richard Miller

     The philosopher in question is Alain Finkielkraut, and this is what he said:
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/24/french-philosopher-jews-first-victims-of-islamic-immigration/

“French Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut has claimed that the populist movement in Europe has largely been a reaction to demographic changes, blaming German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Finkielkraut labelled Chancellor Merkel’s infamous “wir schaffen das!” (we can do it!) phrase during the height of the migrant crisis in 2015 as “nonsense”, saying, “You see it yourself: you cannot do it. This mix of extreme moralism and economic interests was repugnant,” Die Welt reports. “The Germans wanted to buy themselves free and finally become a morally impeccable people. But that happens at the expense of the Jews, who are the first victims, as more and more immigrants are let in,” he added. Last Saturday Finkielkraut was the victim of anti-semitic abuse hurled at him by a Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vest) protestor who was later revealed to be an Islamic extremist. Commenting on the attack, Finkielkraut said: “We are now trying to convince ourselves that this is a reawakening of old nationalist and anti-Semitic combat calls such as ‘France belongs to us’, ‘France for the French’.”

The Trauma of Censorship By Bruce Bennett

     This is something which I had not considered; the psychological effects of those plebs working for Big Tech, censoring all of us.
  https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebook-content-moderator-interviews-trauma-working-conditions-arizona

FINDINGS
•    Moderators in Phoenix will make just $28,800 per year — while the average Facebook employee has a total compensation of $240,000.
•    In stark contrast to the perks lavished on Facebook employees, team leaders micro-manage content moderators’ every bathroom break. Two Muslim employees were ordered to stop praying during their nine minutes per day of allotted “wellness time.”
•    Employees can be fired after making just a handful of errors a week, and those who remain live in fear of former colleagues returning to seek vengeance. One man we spoke with started bringing a gun to work to protect himself.
•    Employees have been found having sex inside stairwells and a room reserved for lactating mothers, in what one employee describes as “trauma bonding.”
•    Moderators cope with seeing traumatic images and videos by telling dark jokes about committing suicide, then smoking weed during breaks to numb their emotions. Moderators are routinely high at work.
•    Employees are developing PTSD-like symptoms after they leave the company, but are no longer eligible for any support from Facebook or Cognizant.
•    Employees have begun to embrace the fringe viewpoints of the videos and memes that they are supposed to moderate. The Phoenix site is home to a flat Earther and a Holocaust denier. A former employee tells us he no longer believes 9/11 was a terrorist attack.”

Civilisation’s Suicide By John Steele

     I am a bit of a fringe dweller at this site, being a full-on survivalist, so I am grateful for all putting up with my rantings and ravings. I do not know what is going to finish of modern society, but I feel some Spenglerian breakdown will occur, if for no other reason than poetic justice; our kind built the world, held it in our hands, then let it slide into the dust of death, which could come from many different ways:
  http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190218-are-we-on-the-road-to-civilisation-collapse

“Great civilisations are not murdered. Instead, they take their own lives. So concluded the historian Arnold Toynbee in his 12-volume magnum opus A Study of History. It was an exploration of the rise and fall of 28 different civilisations. He was right in some respects: civilisations are often responsible for their own decline. However, their self-destruction is usually assisted. The Roman Empire, for example, was the victim of many ills including overexpansion, climatic change, environmental degradation and poor leadership. But it was also brought to its knees when Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and the Vandals in 455. Collapse is often quick and greatness provides no immunity. The Roman Empire covered 4.4 million sq km (1.9 million sq miles) in 390. Five years later, it had plummeted to 2 million sq km (770,000 sq miles). By 476, the empire’s reach was zero.”
If it happened once, then why not again, for the Roman thought that they were invincible too, just like our scribblers?

Against the Teachers By James Reed

     Sometimes at night, once I finally get to sleep after tossing and turning for eight hours, if I am lucky, I wake in fright, drenched in sweat, even if it is a freezing cold Melbourne night, having had the nightmare that I will have to teach in the morning. James old son, Jimmy, relax, you are retired, it is just a nightmare.
  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/19/redfored-socialists-organizing-teachers-to-turn-purple-states-blue-2020/

“A well-funded and subversive leftist movement of teachers in the United States threatens to tilt the political balance nationwide in the direction of Democrats across the country as Republicans barely hang on in key states that they need to hold for President Donald Trump to win re-election and for Republicans to have a shot at retaking the House and holding onto their Senate majority. This teacher’s union effort, called #RedforEd, has its roots in the very same socialism that President Trump vowed in his 2019 State of the Union address to stop, and it began in its current form in early 2018 in a far-flung corner of the country before spreading nationally. Its stated goals–higher teacher pay and better education conditions–are overshadowed by a more malevolent political agenda: a leftist Democrat uprising designed to flip purple or red states to blue, using the might of a significant part of the education system as its lever. The movement takes its name from a political organizing tool first seen in Florida in 2010, when teacher’s union members wore red to express political opposition to public school reform proposals under consideration at that time in the state and encouraged parents and political activists from other unions to join them.”
