Why are Women Attracted to Benevolently Sexist men? By Mrs Vera West

     Women are attracted to “benevolently sexist” men, according to psychological research. Whenever I read those words, I go on red alert. What does it mean?
  https://www.livescience.com/63623-why-women-like-sexist-men.html?utm_source=ls-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20180922-ls

“If a man offers to help a woman with her heavy suitcase or to parallel park her car, what should she make of the offer? Is it an innocuous act of courtesy? Or is it a sexist insult to her strength and competence? Social psychologists who describe this behavior as "benevolent sexism" firmly favor the latter view. But researchers have also revealed a paradox: Women prefer men who behave in ways that could be described as benevolently sexist over those who don't. How could this be? Some say that women simply fail to see the ways benevolent sexism undermines them because they're misled by the flattering tone of this brand of kindness. Psychologists have even suggested that benevolent sexism is more harmful than overtly hostile sexism because it is insidious, acting like "a wolf in sheep's clothing." As social psychologists, we had reservations about these conclusions. Aren't women sophisticated enough to be able to tell when a man is being patronizing?’

The Christian Foundations of the Common Law: Passing of a Great Tradition By Ian Wilson LL. B

     Augusto Zimmerman has just published a very solid piece of jurisprudence, Christian Foundations of the Common Law, Volume 2, The United States, (Connor Court Publishing, 2018). It is excellent that in these dark and degenerate times, there are still scholars, and publishers investigating the Christian traditions that gave us the modern world, and the liberties that unfortunately are disappearing by the day. But, unless we have some idea of that the truth is, we will live forever in a world of unending error.

     The book covers a vast array of American historical material, which may not be necessary to summarise for our readership, since the fundamental argument would be accepted by most of us. The textual evidence from the writings of the American founding Fathers, such as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Adams, indicates that Christian faith motivated these men to do what they did and write what they wrote. A good example to take here is Thomas Jefferson, whom the atheists claim as one of their own. But, Jefferson was not opposed to the belief in God, but only to the establishment of a national church, being committed to individual liberty. It is shown that Jefferson was in fact a Christian, and not an atheist.

Is Physics Sexist?! By Brian Simpson

     My son was looking on Quora, the geek science site, and saw a “joke’ question about whether a non-sexist rocket could be designed. The writers thought that it was a joke to regard the rocket as a phallic symbol, and played it for laughs. Obviously, these science guys have not been following what feminists have been saying about the gun debate, which is clearly a symbolic castration. But, to prove my point, I said to my son, that using the new Ducky search engine, I would find in under 15 seconds a crazy mainstream article that not only went far beyond the claim that rockets are sexist, but physics itself is.

Political Correctness Strangling Maths By Brian Simpson

     As a high school science teacher, who has taught maths to the lower years, I always wondered how political correctness would be used to destroy mathematics, or its teaching. Now we have some idea:
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/10/penn-state-math-course-focuses-on-hillary-clintons-strong-character/

“A new math course at Penn State University this semester has a bizarre focus on Hillary Clinton’s “strong character.” According to a report from Campus Reform, a new math course at Penn State University focuses on everything besides math. Professor Marc Fabbri’s “Finite Mathematics” course covers everything from Hillary Clinton’s “strong character” to the “cultural intolerance” to President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Clean Water Act.
On the Penn State website, Fabbri’s course is described as an “introduction to logic, sets, probability.” But students who took Fabbri’s new course last spring say that the course is focused on other topics. Take for example the following excerpt from a text provided to students by Fabbri. “The emergence of the Tea Party played a central role in the 2008 U.S. presidential election,” the document reads. “The victor was Barack Obama who, like Bill Clinton, served as U.S. president for 8 years — the two men guided always by the strength of character and force of intellect of First Lady Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.”

Go! Duck! Go! By Chris Knight

     We have been covering Big Tech doing all sorts of bad things re free speech. Google, well you know the story. But, there is an answer, at least if we believe what they are saying, and I can’t swear on a stack of Bibles that the following is true. But, just maybe it is true, and we should do the switch, big time, to the good guys:
  https://www.quora.com/Why-should-I-use-DuckDuckGo-instead-of-Google

“Gabriel Weinberg, CEO & Founder at DuckDuckGo (2008-present)
Updated Jun 29
#1 — Google tracks you. We don’t.
You share your most intimate secrets with your search engine without even thinking: medical, financial and personal issues, along with all the day to day things that make you, well, you. All of that personal information should be private, but on Google it’s not. On Google, your searches are tracked, mined, and packaged up into a data profile for advertisers to follow you around the Internet through those intrusive and annoying ever-present banner ads, using Google’s massive ad networks, embedded across millions of sites and apps. In fact, it’s a myth that you need to track people to make money in web search. When you search ‘car’ we can show you a car ad without knowing anything about you. That’s how we make money and it doesn't involve tracking because it is based on the keyword and not the person. Google could do this too; they just chose not to— all that tracking is to power their ad networks so that ads can follow you around the Internet using your search history and other information they have on you.

On Being Transphobic By Mrs Vera West

     Across the world being transphobic is leading to either prosecution, or unemployment. This crime no longer needs one to express hatred, only to be saying something, anything regarded as inconvenient. The sun sets in the West; transphobic?  Well, maybe. After all it is “binary” and assumes a rigid dichotomy between east and west.
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-20/transphobic-swedish-professor-may-lose-job-after-noting-biological-differences

“A university professor in Sweden is under investigation for "anti-feminism" and "transphobia" after he said that there are fundamental differences between men and women which are "biologically founded" and that genders cannot be regarded as "social constructs alone," reports Academic Rights Watch. If you answer such a question you are under severe time pressure, you have to be extremely brief — and I used wording which I think was completely innocuous, and that apparently the student didn't,” Hesslow said. Hesslow was ordered to attend a meeting by Christer Larsson, chairman of the program board for medical education, after a female student complained that Hesslow had a "personal anti-feminist agenda." He was asked to distance himself from two specific comments; that gay women have a "male sexual orientation" and that the sexual orientation of transsexuals is "a matter of definition."

The Socialist Good Eating Guide By James Reed

     Notice how in each of our cities there are always plenty of free glossy magazines around, say at community centres, usually dealing with food? How the chattering class love their food, almost as much as the chardonnay, drunk while wailing about white privilege. That’s just how it goes in cultural Marxist utopias, such as Australia. Venezuela has an even more advanced culinary culture, embodying the very best of socialist values:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-20/socialist-venezuela-poor-starve-death-while-politically-powerful-feast 
  https://mises.org/wire/socialist-venezuela-poor-starve-death-while-politically-powerful-feast

“The socialist policies of the Venezuela government continue to impose a living hell on its people. Hyperinflation has turned its currency to literal garbage. Mortality rates have skyrocketed for groups such as infants, pregnant mothers, and the elderly as clinics have shut down and medicine grown scarce. Food has disappeared from store shelves forcing the population to consume pets and zoo animals. A recent poll found that 78% of Venezuelans “reported trouble keeping themselves fed.”

Ban Doctors, Not Guns By John Steele

     If we follow the gun banners idea of banning the instrument that is used to commit harm, then these pinkos run into a problem when confronted with the sky-high rate of medical negligence, compared to gun deaths:
  https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/23/medical-malpractice-deaths-500-times-higher-accidental-gun-deaths/

“Medical malpractice deaths in the U.S. are over 500 times higher than accidental gun deaths. A Johns Hopkins University study covering eight years of data found there are at least 250,000 malpractice deaths in the U.S. annually. CNBC reports the Johns Hopkins University study presents malpractice deaths on the low end, since other studies show malpractice deaths exceeding 400,000 a year. On the other hand, accidental gun deaths hover around 500 a year. For example, the Los Angeles Times reports there were 489 accidental gun deaths in 2015, making medical malpractice deaths over 500 times higher than deaths resulting from accidental firearm discharges.”

In Defence of the Southpaw By Brian Simpson

     I take offence about the vilification that was given to southpaws, left handed people like me, by the following article at the so-called race realist site vDare. This site is more newsy, but its friend site, American Renaissance takes the line (which I have refuted in articles at this site), that East Asians are so much smarter than whites (Nordics). Wow, from the defenders of white civilisation too. Anyway, here is the vilification:
  https://vdare.com/articles/are-southpaws-really-sinister-increased-incidence-suggests-we-re-headed-for-mouse-utopia-collapse

“A surprising number of recent US presidents have been southpaws. Obama, George W. Bush, Reagan, Carter and Ford would all have probably smudged their writing when they were at school. However, we are not evolved to be left-handed to any significant degree. According to New Zealand psychologist Michael Corballis, the human propensity to be right-handed is caused by our heightened ability to communicate. The left hemisphere controls vocalization in most species. As our ancestors learned to walk upright, they started using their hands to communicate as well as their voices. They used their right hand, because this is controlled by the left hemisphere. Increased use of the right hand meant that we started employing the right hand for pretty much everything. So, the “norm” is to be left-hemisphere-dominant for language. According to Corballis, if somebody is left-handed, this means that they are right-hemisphere dominant for language.

The Sexual Honey Pot Fly Trap: Deep State Pest Management By John Steele

     Isn’t it amazing how just when the elites need it, a problem person who is giving the globalists heart burn, has sex with some woman, typically a prostitute or porno star,  and bingo, rape, or she is underage or whatever. Think of how convenient it was with Julian Assange. Now there is young Cody Wilson, who has been fighting for gun rights. Bingo, he has paid sex with a prostitute, and she turns out to be under aged:
  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-texas-crime-guns/texan-running-3-d-printed-guns-company-sent-back-to-u-s-by-taiwan-authorities-idUSKCN1M1236?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews

“A Texan running a 3-D printed guns company who flew to Taiwan as police investigated an accusation he had sex with an underage girl was deported back to the United States on Saturday after his U.S. passport was annulled, a Taiwanese official said. Cody Wilson, 30, was on Friday taken to immigration authorities in Taipei by officers from Taiwan’s Criminal Investigation Bureau, according to officials. He was ordered to leave Taiwan because he no longer has a valid travel document, said Zhang Wen-xiu, a director of the international affairs and law enforcement division at Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency. Zhang said Wilson, who was held by the agency, had been taken to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport for a flight to the United States on Saturday evening. He declined to say which U.S. city Wilson would be flying to. He said the agency was in touch with Wilson’s lawyer. Wilson had agreed to the arrangement and had “expressed willingness to return to the U.S. soon”, he added. The United States’ de facto embassy in Taipei declined to comment on the case, citing privacy concerns. The U.S. Marshals Service, which would likely be responsible for taking Wilson back to the United States, said in a statement it was aware of Wilson’s arrest and was “fully engaged with our international partners on this matter.”

Elites Seeking to Make Europe Part of Africa By Richard Miller

     The big push to finish off traditional white Europe is on, as the subtext of this article makes clear:
  https://www.economist.com/europe/2018/09/22/why-europe-should-focus-on-its-growing-interdependence-with-africa?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/whyeuropeshouldfocusonitsgrowinginterdependencewithafricacharlemagne

“Today’s waves of African migration are merely a prelude. Of the 2.2bn citizens added to the global population by 2050, 1.3bn will be Africans—about the size of China’s population today. And more of them will have the means to travel. Those Africans risking the trip north across the Mediterranean today are not the poorest, but those with a mobile phone to organise the trip and money to pay smugglers. Few of the Nigerians who attempt the crossing are from their country’s poor north, for example; almost all are from its wealthier south. As African countries gradually prosper, migration will surely increase, not decrease. Emmanuel Macron raised these points in a recent interview. The French president was recommending a new book, “The Rush to Europe”, published in French by Stephen Smith of Duke University, which models past international migrations like that of Mexicans into America to show that the number of Afro-Europeans (Europeans with African roots) could rise from 9m at present to between 150m and 200m by 2050, perhaps a quarter of Europe’s total population.

The Weak Deracinated former Anglo-elite; Tribalism to Crunch Globalism By Charles Taylor

     I will never forget the priceless destruction by Donald Trump made of Jeb Bush, as being “low energy,” and basically a cuckservatives par excellence, if that is the correct phrase. Weak, deracinated, completely against the survival of traditional America:
  https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/23/jeb-bush-americans-urging-immigration-controls-threatened-less-white-country/

“Failed 2016 presidential candidate and former Florida governor Jeb Bush says Americans who are urging for immigration controls are “threatened” by their perception that the United States is “changing” and becoming “less white.” In a podcast interview with National Review Editor Nordlinger, Bush said immigration controls were “foolhardy” and that illegal alien crime gets too much attention compared to crimes committed by American citizens. Bush said:

Multicultural Anarcho-Tyrannical France, Now Worse than the Former USSR By Richard Miller

     Are writers at this site mad, and in need of psychiatric treatment? Well, some writers are in fact borderline insane, such as Uncle Len, who at the moment is in a psychiatric facility in a strait jacket, suffering from psycho-political psychosis. He is being pumped full of the very best that Big Pharma and Big Psycho can offer, so I am sure that if he is ever released back to his cockroach infested tin shed, he will continue to produce lively prose to enlighten our readers. But I digress, or do I? If we were in France, why they would use psych to lock us all away and throw away the key:

“French politician Marine Le Pen said a court ordered her to undergo psychiatric evaluation over a series of images she posted on Twitter showing Islamic State executions. She slammed the order as a “mind-blowing.” The president of France's National Rally (formerly Front National) has released an order saying it comes from the magistrates in Nanterre near Paris, calling on her to “undergo a psychiatric examination." For denouncing the horrors of Daesh (Islamic State/IS, formerly ISIS) by tweets the "justice system" has referred [me] to a psychiatric assessment. How far will they go?!" she tweeted in response. The 2017 presidential candidate denounced the order as “mind-blowing,” saying: “This regime is really starting to scare [us].”

Letter to The Editor - Mankind's greatest cultural achievements

To The Australian              Concerning the dismissive claim ("Assange sought Moscow bolthole as troubles mounted", 19/9) that Israel Shamir is "a fringe intellectual", it is worth noting that many of mankind's greatest cultural achievements were pioneered by persons regarded initially as fringe intellectuals.

Canada Transforming into a Sharia State By Peter Ewer

     The West slowly commits suicide. It is a long drawn out process, a death of a billion cuts, but it is being done. Every day, and in every way.
  https://gellerreport.com/2018/09/trudeau-canadian-muslim.html/
  https://www.mysteinbach.ca/blogs/9105/dangerous-changes-coming-to-our-justice-system/

“This fall the Liberals are bringing forward Bill C75, which will change the range of penalties for a long list of serious crimes in Canada.” The three that are enumerated here all involve Islam: someone who abducts a 13-year-old girl will not face prison. This will give free rein to Muslim rape gangs. So will the relaxation of penalties for human trafficking. Then there will also be relaxed penalties for participating in a terrorist group. Trudeau seems to be paving the way for making Canada into a sharia state. These are the first steps toward accepting Islamic law.”

Now Icecream is Racist. I Scream. By James Reed

     Who loves icecream? You do? Me too. Well, consider yourself a fellow “racist”:
  https://gellerreport.com/2018/09/isce-cream-offends-muslims.html/
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/14/university-of-wisconsin-madison-students-say-ice-cream-marginalizes-muslim-vegans/

“Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are arguing that the serving of ice cream in facilities like dining halls makes Muslims, Jewish, and vegan students feel unwelcome on campus. Student council members at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are protesting the campus practice of serving ice cream, which often contains beef gelatin, an ingredient that makes the treat inaccessible to members of certain faiths and diets. According to a new piece of legislation entitled “Ice Cream for All,” which was first reported on by Campus Reform, the student council argues that the university’s use of standard ice cream is discriminatory against members of the Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, and Buddhist religions — adding in vegetarian communities on campus as well. The legislation argues that the use of ice cream may make members of those communities feel unwelcome on campus.”

In Praise of Duelling: Russia Brings it Back! By John Steele

     They were fighting to defend honour, family and country, six shooters strapped to their hips. The sun was intense as they stared each other down. Then they draw, and a man falls; a classic scene from a Clint Eastwood “Man with No Name” movie, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), the three-way stand-off (also similar theme in For a Few Dollars More (1965)):

     If that does not cure low T, nothing will! The manly art of the duel has gone in the West, but even US presidents were once into it, with President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), Donald Trump’s hero, having fought perhaps 100 duels, even offering opponents the first shot, and carrying one bullet so acquired for his life:

FBI, UFOs and Conspiracies Unlimited By Brian Simpson

     Anything to do with Roswell, USA, just smacks of aliens, UFOs and government cover-ups. Now comes the granddaddy of all conspiracies: the FBI, the wold’s most conspiratorial organisation, who plotted for Donald Trump’s downfall, has closed down a solar observatory near Roswell, and they are not saying why:
  https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/09/observatory-shut-down-by-fbi-did-not-see-aliens.html

“A solar observatory shut down in mysterious circumstances "did not see aliens", its director has clarified. But just why the National Solar Observatory in New Mexico was evacuated earlier this month remains a mystery, with the FBI still not telling local police why the research facility and a nearby post shop were closed. "The FBI has not contacted us," Sgt Jon Emery of the Otero County Sheriff's Office told local news station KOB4. "We don't know what they took, what their reason for being there was. We have no information on it." Residents of the small town of Sunspot, where the observatory is based, have also been evacuated. "It is very frustrating being out of our home," local man Sean Williams told KOB4. "I will say that and I can't wait until this is over." A spokeswoman for the observatory on Friday (local time) said the directors have now made the call to keep it closed "until further notice due to an ongoing security concern". Director James McAteer told KOB4 "nothing" will be kept secret once the "security concern" is over.”

Myths about the Myth of Whiteness By Peter Ewer

     The ethnomasochism of the Hollywood chattering class has never been consistent. Thus, we have the recent example of Anne Hathaway, who is some sort of actress, rattling on abut white privilege, feeling guilty, crawl, kiss boots etc. Too much food, clothing and shelter, I think produces this attitude. Also, doing too many nude scenes in movies might also have an impact.
https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/09/16/anne-hathaway-calls-for-destruction-of-the-myth-of-whiteness/
https://nypost.com/2018/09/16/anne-hathaway-denounces-white-privilege-in-award-speech/

“Actress Anne Hathaway said that it was time to destroy the “myth” of “whiteness” during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign annual dinner Saturday. The New York Post reports that Anne Hathaway received the “National Equality Award” and during her speech said, “I think I’m probably walking around like most people right now. I’m pretty shell shocked by what I see every day, what I hear everyday. And I really don’t like to admit this, but I get scared.” The Les Misérables star also ranted against “whiteness” and “straightness.” Hathaway reportedly said that “with the exception of being a cisgender male, everything about how I was born has put me at the current center of a damaging and widely-accepted myth,” continuing, “that myth is that gayness orbits around straightness, transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.”

Civil War in Europe By Richard Miller
