Mr Li, who is from China, has been conducting a critique of our work he arguing in defence of the superiority of East Asians. In a recent email he is angered at the idea proposed that Northern Europeans have high intelligence and creativity, and he cites Jared Diamond’s popular book Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997), p. 22 in refutation. This is a popular book, with few scholarly references, and in the concluding paragraph of this essay, critics are referenced.

    Essentially the point is that according to Diamond the people of northern Europe contributed nothing to civilisation until the last one thousand years. The cold regions were a backwater. As Mr Li notes that claim does not withstand scrutiny, and is based on dated Middle eastern biased archaeological evidence. I have been reporting for years about all matter of Northern European technologies and scientific ideas at this site, which Li is free to search. There are numerous discoveries, including astronomical innovations which the Northern Europeans produced, some dating from the Upper Paleolithic, and thus older than anything found in Asia and the Middle East: https://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4184; http://www2.astronomicalheritage.net/index.php/show-theme?idtheme=7;

    “A man came into a wood one day with an axe in his hand and begged all the trees to give him a small branch which he wanted for a particular purpose. The trees were good-natured and gave him one of their branches. What did the man do but fix it into the axe head, and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree. Then the trees saw how foolish they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves.” Aesop’s Fables (Oxford University Press, 2008)
    Guess who the trees are, and who the axeman is.

    My title is from a book which I have not read, but I saw somewhere, but I forgot where, by some author, whose name I can’t remember. Brain fogs seem to be my lot for much of my waking hours. Anyway, I digress from what I was writing about. What was that? I can’t remember. Well not exactly can’t remember, more like, I never said what it was that I was going to say in the first place. Hell, Greenacres made a comedy series about this kind of brain flatulence, with its delightful character Hank Kimball (played by Alvy Moore, 1921-1997) where  the Encyclopedia of Television states that Kimball “personifies a kind of infinite regress, where every empirical statement branches into multiple statements that in turn preclude it, spiraling each new observation back and away from itself like an inductive Ecsherism.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Kimball. He qualified himself to death, the ultimate fate of government agencies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVcXhaGOZyg.

    That brings me to dropping out, something I would have done if I had gone to university in the 1960s, dropped out and never returned. In fact, it is a mighty good thing to do today, saving oneself great debt while being unemployed. But many folk are now downscaling selling their homes and hitting the road in mobile homes: http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-05-04-husband-and-wife-ditch-fancy-house-and-cars-to-happily-live-in-a-van.html; https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-29856/i-live-in-a-van-heres-why-i-think-its-the-ultimate-life-hack.html; http://livingfree.news/.
    I definitely welcome the movement to downscaling. With jobs set to disappear, and the evil financial system in place still, people will need to adopt these alternative life styles. I hope someday to put together a book about this, Uncle Len’s Tips for the Simple Life, if my busy schedule permits, and I remember.
Remember, what?

    In a desperate Trump-like U-turn, Le Pen, at the 11th hour is now saying that as president she will allocate at least 0.7 percent of the French gross domestic product to Africa, which is 15 billion Euros on an annual basis: http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-eco/2017/05/02/97002-20170502FILWWW00336-le-pen-promet-07-du-pib-pour-la-cooperation-avec-l-afrique.php?cmtpage=0. This is more than the amount now spent on the EU, which she campaigned against.

    This cultural cringing, to attempt to get black votes has dramatically failed, as French voters in Africa overwhelmingly reject her, as does the multicult in France. Like Trump, she has surrendered her support base, but she has backed off even sooner than Trump. In the future Right nationalist candidates will be openly globalist and cosmopolitan, identical to socialist candidates, thus saving time and producing efficiency. Take Trump’s administration today. No more useless talk about defending America; Russia is the treat and the sooner there is nuclear war to destroy the politically incorrect Putin, the better: https://www.rt.com/news/387063-nato-counter-resurgent-russia/. If the planet burns, that is just the cost for eliminating the scourge of nationalism: https://www.rt.com/shows/boom-bust/384294-trupm-war-syria-us/. Better dead than free.

    There are very few academic philosophers who have opposed political correctness and the agendas of the Left. Philosophy, unlike sociology is not an over-the-top Left wing discipline, but it is not one to support Traditionalist values, at least in the Anglo-sphere. France is a little different.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), who was at one time a socialist, and always a liberal, was at least freethinking enough to write the little essay “The Superior Virtue of the Oppressed,” in Unpopular Essays, (Unwin, 1950), pp. 69-75, which mildly attacked one of the early doctrines of the pc cult, namely that minorities are in some way morally superior. Not so, Russell showed easily enough, since there is zero evidence for this thesis. He concluded:  “sooner or later the oppressed class will argue that its superior virtue is a reason in favour of its having power, and the oppressors will find their own weapons turned against them.” (p. 74)

    Voltaire François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), was a leading French Enlightenment thinker, who was infamous in his day for his attacks upon the Catholic church, and for advocating free thought and free speech. If a law such as section 18 C had existed in his day, he would have been prosecuted. There is considerable debate about this, but Voltaire by today’s standards, and by the standards of section 18 C would be regarded as an anti-Semite: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/30/books/l-voltaire-and-the-jews-590990.html; D. Prager and J. Telushkin, Why the Jews? The Reason for Antisemitism, (Simona nd Schuster, 1983), pp. 128-129; L. Poliakov, The History of Anti-Semitism from Voltaire to Wagner, (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1975), pp. 88-89. These authors quote quite shocking passages from Voltaire that would be in violation of section 18 C, even if  this section was reasonably constructed.

    Hence, Voltaire is a controversial figure, to say the least, but I agree that he was a keen free speech advocate. However, he was a destroyer of almost everything and he would be attacking the Australian establishment relentlessly – from a prison cell – if he was alive in Australia today.

    Back in the days when people seriously regarded Trump as an opponent of globalism and open borders, rather than being just another neo-conman stooge,  Salon writer Anis Shivani wrote a piece, “Everyone’s Wrong on Immigration: Open Borders are the Only Way to Defeat Trump and Build a Better World.” : http://www.salon.com/2017/03/15/everyones-wrong-on-immigration-open-borders-are-the-only-way-to-defeat-trump-and-build-a-better-world/. He quotes studies showing that world economic output would double if people could freely move wherever they wanted, which means, to the West from the Third World in their billions. Nations are not like homes he says, but are abstractions, only as good as the freedom within it.

    This sort of argument is advanced purely for the West to take migrants. India, China and Japan are exempt from taking in the tens of millions of poor Africans, or the billions of them in the future. To suppose that this would increase economic output is just economic theology, because it is more likely to lead to the collapse of the West rather than any economic revival. Let India and China take in proportionately more migrants than the West, and then maybe we should think about it.

To The Australian
     It may be true (‘Indigenous leaders rail at “beads and trinkets”’, 8/5) that, because there was ‘no consent’ by the Kaurareg people to Captain Cook’s claiming British sovereignty over eastern Australia in 1770, a wrong was committed at that time, but it is not an ‘enduring wrong’ and indigenous groups are foolish to see it as a ‘grievance which Australia must now make right.’ Owing to the lack of effective resistance nearly 250 years ago and also to the passage of time the nation of Australia possesses full de iure right to its current territory.

     Any ‘nationwide resistance campaign against minimalist change’ will not be welcomed by most Australians; nor will any tampering with our Constitution, something which will be seen indeed as ‘substantive change’ by most of us.
     Finally, it is inconsistent - if not hypocritical - for a particular ethnic group to demand special treatment while rejecting any discrimination of an ethnic kind.

I recently came upon a copy of Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop’s “War Diaries” published forty years after WWII. Sir Edward was one of Australia’s great heroes. In the foreword British officer, Colonel Sir Laurens van der Post wrote of his brief experiences with the American and Australian soldiers of war, along with the British, in the early days of the Japanese internment and he described prison life as “the war within the War”.

For the first three months and under the inspired leadership of (then) Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Dunlop, an all out effort was made to not only invest the resources available to them for “the physical well being” of the men, and to unite them as of the British-Commonwealth, but a “vast educational system was set up” to cater for their mental and spiritual well being. To aid in their “physical survival and spiritual sanity”, the officers set up schools, classes and lectures, even a microcosm of a *Commonwealth parliament in prison.

This article stemmed from reading a paper written by an Indian chap on a proposal for a National Dividend for India.  An excellent paper, it has just one small historical error:  from his readings, the chap believed that A.R. Orage coined the term ‘social credit’ which was published in an edition of 'The New Age'. Historically, this was not so, and historical accuracy is important, so this error will be corrected.

The Syrian gas attack has fast become another 9/11, with increasingly more establishment figures calling out Trump over the attack, which they believe is a false flag.
The latest scientist to criticise the gas attacks is Theodore Postol, a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/mit-expert-claims-latest-chemical-weapons-attack-syria-was-staged-1617267. He has issued three reports attempting to refute the White House’s claim that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad perpetrated the attack on 4 April.

He concluded that the US government’s report does not provide any “concrete” evidence that Assad was responsible, adding it was more likely that the attack was perpetrated by players on the ground.
Postol said: “I have reviewed the [White House’s] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.

North Korea has threatened Australia with a nuclear attack because the leaders of this fine nation have been supporting the USA and telling big fat lies about the DPRK: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/north-korea-threatens-australia-with-nuclear-strike-over-us-allegiance/news-story/2cf2f736bf4e530e59f99e8d04d913b3?utm_source=The%20Advertiser&utm_mediam=email&utm_campaign=editorial.

What Kim what’s-his-name needs to understand is that since the Keating era, and probably going back to Arthur Calwell, Australia has been a part of Asia, and now is a part of China. Which part you may ask? Well, Paul Keating told us the answer to that one: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/keatings-rear-view-of-the-lucky-country-causes-storm-careless-remarks-have-damaged-the-pms-1425378.html; http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/rudd-sees-nation-at-bottom-end-too-20120413-1wyrr.html. On this view, and I am not supporting it, only abusing it, Australia would not even be worth a nuclear weapon.

Here is the abstract from Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2013 Sep;38(9):1777-85. doi: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2013.02.014. Epub 2013 Mar 23.
“Oral contraceptive use in women changes preferences for male facial masculinity and is associated with partner facial masculinity,”
Little AC, Burriss RP, Petrie M, Jones BC, Roberts SC, just so you know that I am not making this stuff up:

“Millions of women use hormonal contraception and it has been suggested that such use may alter mate preferences. To examine the impact of oral contraceptive (pill) use on preferences, we tested for within-subject changes in preferences for masculine faces in women initiating pill use. Between two sessions, initiation of pill use significantly decreased women’s preferences for male facial masculinity but did not influence preferences for same-sex faces. To test whether altered preference during pill use influences actual partner choice, we examined facial characteristics in 170 age-matched male partners of women who reported having either been using or not using the pill when the partnership was formed. Both facial measurements and perceptual judgements demonstrated that partners of women who used the pill during mate choice have less masculine faces than partners of women who did not use hormonal contraception at this time. Our data (A) provide the first experimental evidence that initiation of pill use in women causes changes in facial preferences and (B) documents downstream effects of these changes on real-life partner selection. Given that hormonal contraceptive use is widespread, effects of pill use on the processes of partner formation have important implications for relationship stability and may have other biologically relevant consequences.”

Sweden is white pathology at its viral peak, peak disease. Following the Islamic State-linked terrorist attack earlier this month in Stockholm, one opinion poll found that more people feel that the country is heading in the “right direction,” and they don’t mean “Right” with a capital “R.” Women are the main one’s feeling “positive.”

Since the globalists allowed the communist ANC to take over South Africa over 70,000 whites have been murdered, and hundreds of thousands more have been raped and/or tortured and/or robbed. Even more blacks have been dealt the same terrible treatment at the hands of the lawless, who are often backed by the “law” (ANC establishment): http://americanfreepress.net/70000-whites-murdered-in-modern-south-africa-obamas-african-legacy/; http://www.rense.com/general96/70000whites.htm;

Let’s quote from the above news.com article which is mainstream, and has to have a warning about content pasted on the article:

Dear Sir, I listened to ABC radio this morning and heard your very good presentation to the crowd. There was one point which may have been open to interpretation, where I felt uneasy. This was in reference to “nationalism”.
I gathered you believe nationalism to be not a desirable aim or policy. If I recall, you also mentioned those who pursue such aims are narrow-minded, or words to that effect.
My concept of the tremendous bravery and sacrifices of Australian soldiers was all about nationalism. They gave their all for our freedom, rights and culture to be protected for future generations.

Today, the emphasis is on globalisation or internationalism which is contrary to nationalism. Furthermore it has delivered trade wars, legal nightmares as we are required to comply with global (U. N.) Conventions. Our culture is threatened by immigrants whose aim is to destroy our Christian heritage and replace it with a system from which (strangely) they fled.
I support nationalism.

The idea of the “red pill” comes from The Matrix movie, and involves the metaphor of taking a pill, or choosing a path that confronts reality rather than illusion.    
It is interesting to observe that the men’s right film, The Red Pill, which ironically was directed by a feminist, has been banned from university campuses across Australia, because it is critical of feminist dogma. (The Australian, April, 19, 2017, p. 3)

Feminists have said, by their rejection of allowing screening of the film, that men have no issues to raise, and that there can be no criticism what so ever of feminism. What can I say? I don’t swear, being a lady, but it is just bs!

“In fact, a main piece of evidence that is cited in the document point to an attack that was executed by individuals on the ground, not from an aircraft, on the morning of 4 April.

Dark storm clouds are gathering over Europe, which is a bitter taste of the fate of the West. Open migration policies of the globalists have now led to the German authorities admitting that thousands of Afghan refugees who flooded into Germany were former Taliban militants: https://www.rt.com/news/385719-germany-refugees-afghanistan-taliban/. But, weren’t we told that the refugees were defenceless women and children like the drowned boy? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-turkey-idUSKCN0R20IJ20150902\. At present criminal investigations have been launched in 70 cases.
