The official inquiry into the 7 July London bombings will say the attack was planned on a shoestring budget from information on the internet, that there was no ‘fifth-bomber’ and no direct support from al-Qaeda, although two of the bombers had visited Pakistan.

The first forensic account of the atrocity that claimed the lives of 52 people, which will be published in the next few weeks, will say that attacks were the product of a ‘simple and inexpensive’ plot hatched by four British suicide bombers bent on martyrdom.

Far from being the work of an international terror network, as originally suspected, the attack was carried out by four men who had scoured terror sites on the internet. Their knapsack bombs cost only a few hundred pounds, according to the first completed draft of the government’s definitive report into the blasts.

Mark Towsnend, writing in The Observer today.

So these well-adjusted, Westernised young men, all born in Britain and led by a married thirty-year old special-needs teacher, were entirely self-motivated and self-trained.  There was no AQ hand at work.  There was no international flow of funds.  There was no connection to the wider world of Islamic terror at all other than via a few “How To” websites and a rant by Ayman al-Zawahiri, which someone tacked on to Mohammad Sidique Khan’s video broadcast by Al-Jazeera.

UC Irvine researchers Larry Cahill and Lisa Kirkpatrick have discovered a reliable difference in brain activity between men and women.  Basically the amygdala, the most sexually dimorphic brain structure—which shrinks 25% upon castration in men—also shows opposite activity in men and women.  In men the right amygdala is most active—in women the left amygdala is most active.  Moreover when the person is at rest, their amygdalas are active in both men and women but they communicate with different parts of the brain—not merely a right-left mirror between the sexes. 

We must not speculate about the implications, let alone jump to any conclusions about this before the appropriate catechism has been given us by the feminist/gayness “theorists”.  Well, except for me because I’m so disobedient.  I think we’re getting much closer to detecting the means by which parasitic castration of relatively recessive populations may be occurring.

Libby Brooks wants more for the teachers in Britain’s schools to do.  She wants gender education for our children.

She has, you see, noticed that the sexualisation of society has become white-hot of late - boringly so, in fact.  The aspect of this which she worries about is commercial ... raunchy billboards, company expense accounts at the lap-club, etc.  She worries that the nett effect of this is that our daughters are being enculturated by people interested only in money into giving themselves away meaninglessly in back alleys and nightclub toilets.  The “sexual saturation of modern western culture”, she call it.  A good phrase.

She has half a point here, and if she was more a critic and less a creature of modernity she might have a whole point.  For example, she seems to have realised that sexual liberation has been a liberation for men.  Yet she is no social conservative.  Sex for Libby should be seen as an exercise of the female will rather than, say, a submission to Prospero’s “fire i’ the blood”.

Me, I’m a “fire i’ the blood” man whose thoughts turn every six seconds, or whatever it is, to how to open the tinder box, and whose evil designs thereon need to be met firmly in the negative or all female honour will be stolen.  That makes me a believer in sex as Nature.

Libby - a feminist, of course, as well as a liberal - drags her politics into it and is, therefore, a believer in sex as consumption.  But not, of course, consumerism.  Her lodestar is that fully-human, liberated woman again.  In case you haven’t met this mythical creature yet, she’s the one who is mysteriously capable of:-

celebrating the human freedom that sex embodies

... and who knows:-

how desire can take us to the heart of our greatest potential: that in a moment we might be anybody or anything.

Plugging Lynn’s figure for American Ashkenazim verbal IQ (107) into La Griffe du Lion’s Smart Fraction Theory II yields a predicted percapita GDP of about $30,000.  The Lion’s SFT2 is an exceedingly good (r>.9 and p

<.001) way of predicting percapita GDP from average verbal IQ as reported by

Lynn and Vanhanen in “IQ and the Wealth of Nations”. 

Two key questions for theories of antisemitism in America are to what extent:

1. Does American* Ashkenazim percapita GDP differ from $30,000, and
2. Does percapita GDP measure acquisition as opposed to creation of wealth?

*Israel’s mean verbal IQ is lower than 100.

Many thanks to Geoff Beck for bringing to our attention the following important letter in The Times:-

IN CLEAR violation of the tradition of academic freedom, the vice-chancellor of Leeds University has suspended Dr Frank Ellis and instituted disciplinary proceedings against him for presenting the research, published in peer-reviewed academic journals and scholarly books which demonstrates that blacks have, on average, lower IQ scores and poorer academic achievement than do whites (Profile, last week). Much solid research also makes it more likely than not that there is a genetic contribution to this (and other) group IQ differences. Dr Ellis, then, has done no more than restate what has been said for half century by a number of eminent psychologists and anthropologists at leading universities.

These include the late John Baker (Oxford), Hans Eysenck (London), Philip Vernon (London), Richard Herrnstein (Harvard), and Henry Garrett (Columbia).

A number of behavioural scientists, including ourselves, have reached the same conclusion. Others have put much of this on the record. Many more agree but have been reluctant to put this on the record for fear of the kind of intimidation that Dr Ellis is receiving from the University of Leeds.

There is an important and legitimate debate going on on intelligence and genetics, as there is on climate change and foreign policy. It is a sad day when British universities muzzle their academic staff and threaten them with dismissal for taking part in one of these controversies.

My series on ocean frontier fertility has discussed the potential for white population increase.  It did not discuss the negative benefit of such frontiers:  escape from the coming anthrocide—the die off of the vast majority of humanity most likely brought about by vectorism‘s promotion of virulence.  Although large scale activity on the ocean frontier is long enough in the future to make this topic less than urgent, it is nevertheless timely as a university professor of ecology has, during a professional conference, praised the potential of a new strain of airborne Ebola that could kill 90% of the human population, receiving a standing ovation from fellow scientists.  Shades of “Twelve Monkeys”.  Current projections of pandemic deaths do not directly kill 90% of the world’s population, but during the next decades, vectorism’s pervasive growth of globalist reach may well provide sufficient virulence and transmissibility to achieve the professor’s goal—a time during which ocean frontiers may be developed and become relevant for demographic purposes.

The head teacher at a Berlin school has written a desperate letter to state authorities asking for help.

Teachers were no longer able to cope with the students’ aggression and disrespect, it had become almost impossible to hold orderly lessons, and students were ignoring or even attacking teachers and fighting among themselves.

One teacher complained to the Tagesspiegel newspaper that ethnic Arab pupils were in the majority and were bullying ethnic Turks, Germans and other nationalities. A student who was interviewed warned that pupils were coming to school armed:

Things have been getting worse and worse because people seem to be crazy here. They are bringing knives and weapons to school.

Nor is the problem confined to one school. On March 21st, an Arab student used a mobile phone to call in a gang of up to 15 Arab men to take vengeance on a black student in the Charlottenburg Pommern School. A quick thinking teacher ushered the boy into a nearby room, so the gang picked out another black student and beat him up.

Another recent case involved a female teacher at the Wedding Theodor Plievier School, who was shot at while at a telephone booth near the school. Teachers at this school have also written a letter in which they say that half of the students can’t be educated, and that a majority have no feeling for general standards, values and boundaries.

A few days ago it was suggested here that in British medical practise there is a suspiciously high corollation of roving hands to medicos of Indian extraction.  Well, today the story of the breast-mad Dr Kayode Falodun made it into the press and he, it seems, is a Nigerian.  So I thought I would check out how well-behaved these desperately needed saviours of the nation’s health really are, and roughly what proportion of miscreants are (a) foreign, (b) Indian.  Accordingly and without much hope of success, I visited the website of the General Medical Council, the doctor’s trade union and self-regulating authority.

The first thing I saw on the front page was a face-pic of a black woman with the suggestion of a doctor’s white coat at her neck.  She decorates the headline, “Diversity and Equal Opportunities Guides”.  Here we go again, I thought.  You can’t get away from it.

But no, this virtual paragon of virtuous practise is there not to tell the world of the GMC’s respec’ but to gently gull us.  The Diversity Guides she is publicising serve an entirely different purpose from the one you might expect.  They are there to put the doctor “in control”, ie to stop him being caught unawares by unprincipled money-grubbers, race lawyers and what-have-you.

It all seemed strangely, unexpectedly sane.  And then I remembered the pervasive fear of litigation that afflicts all doctors in the Western world, and how caution in diagnosis and treatment weights the intervention process, oftimes negatively, as a result.  The modern medical profession practises behind a stockade, and the most jealously guarded wall of that stockade is self-regulation.  The familiar pieties of our Marxist modernity simply cannot be permitted within, for they would corrode the regulatory mechanism and, with it, public trust.  Without the trust of the public the profession would be regulated from without in very short order, and that it most assuredly does not want.
