Since the State rankings of Scholastic Aptitude Tests are so threatening to the mythology promoted by media and academia that the inbred hicks of places like Iowa need the enlightened guidance (if not the sperm donations) of places like New York City, Boston, etc.  (you know, places with a lot of Jews who are smarter than everyone else) to become something other than illiterate sheep sodomizers with latent white supremacist tendencies, there is the standard catechism that everyone is taught:  “That’s just because states like Iowa have lower participation rates in the SATs by lower performing students.”  Moreover, to prove their point a Harvard Study was conducted in the 1990s which adjusted the State SAT scores for participation rates: Powell, B., and L. C. Steelman (1996), “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildering: The Use and Misuse of State SAT and ACT Scores,” Harvard Educational Review, 27-59.  In this glorious Harvard Study, which you have never heard about, Iowa’s #1 SAT rank, when adjusted for its lower participation from lower performing students, plunged to an abysmal #2.  No more studies like this were conducted for some reason.

Now, you won’t find this paper on line.  It is referenced, but its all discussion promoting the “dumb hicks need our guidance” catechism of the Holocaustian theocracy.  If you search long and hard enough, you find that some guy has extracted the data from that paper and actually put it on line.

That would be me.

No one else could be bothered to put it on line since they were too busy “debunking” the use of State rankings of SAT scores and the data would simply confuse the readers.

Well I’m here to Bewitch, Bother and Bewilder you, my hapless readers, by providing not just the data they won’t put online, but actually provide the rank ordering of what other things are most strongly associated with a State’s SAT rank adjusted for participation rates. 

PS: To do this, I put up the money to reactivate the CGI processing of The Laboratory of the States website—something I was additionally motivated to do since State Master, a similar website, as of this writing couldn’t be bothered to provide the correlations with autism rates.  I really had hoped that State Master would pick up the work on this problem, since they have such a spiffy user interface and such a wide range of data.  But it seems that when important questions come up, State Master frequently doesn’t have the critical data or won’t provide the correlations.  (Also, they apparently consider “per capita” variables to be optional much of the time and then don’t let you do arithmetic on absolute variables to adjust for population sizes—a fallacy unworthy even of sophomoric journalists that nevertheless journalists commit all the time.)

Daedalus - he of The Phora, Friedrich’s Civic Platform, the soon to be Phora blog and possibly more besides - made some interesting historical comments about Conservatism in America on JJR’s “Stomp Israel” post.  In consideration of those comments I thought it might be interesting to (somewhat briefly) explore the metapolitics expressed by modern America and to contrast these with the essence of the most necessary alternative.

John Ray has left the MR panel of writers.  In so doing he has characterised his postings here over the past several months as a counterbalance to an intrusive anti-semitism.  I don’t think that characterisation will surprise anyone.  John is as strongly supportive of the positive Jewish contribution to Western society as most nationalists are critical of the negative, but neither can value the other’s analysis.

There is, as we all know, a wider tragedy in this disconnection in so much as Jewish cultural and ethnic activism works freely upon the body politic, while its critics go not just unheard but slurred, silenced and imprisoned.  If the free speech environment at this one small blog could not break down the barrier - and I recall all too few fruitful exchanges of opinion (not just with John) - then the outlook for our people is pretty bleak.

Anyway, John has gone and it is incumbent upon me to thank him for his past interest and efforts, and wish him well with his extraordinarily diverse array of blogging activities.

We look to the future now.

If, as I have hypothesized and studied, immigration were a major cause of autism, particularly if it were caused by a slow pathogen (perhaps “stealth” pathogen to use Ewald’s terminology) one would expect that the earliest studies of autism prevalence in the West might show a higher degree of autism among children of immigrants from ‘exotic’ countries.

Guess what?

There is no evident reason why the prevalence should be the same in different countries or why it should not change over time. The variations in prevalence rates among the published studies could be due to real differences. The higher rates among children of first generation immigrants to Europe from ‘exotic’ countries may be one piece of evidence supporting this possibility.

The paper also states that prominent among these ‘exotic’ immigrants were those of Caribbean descent.  This is consistent with my previously stated conjecture that the pathogen is endemic to the lower caste of India, as there was a significant early diaspora to the Caribbean from India of the lower caste.

Gregg Easterbrook, is a suspected anti-semite and writer for the New York Times, Washington Post, Washington Monthly, Brookings Institute, etc., and his latest book denies genocide.  Should he share a prison cell with other genocide deniers?  Should there be a new facility built to keep his type off the street and out of trouble?  Naw…. no one should be in prison for genocide denial…

Some thoughts on the buzz about autism—buzz resulting from an Israeli study showing a strong association between the biological father’s age and the likelihood of autism. 

In short:  My previously documented State-level ecological correlation between immigration from India to areas high in Finnish ancestry, and autism is consistent with their finding.  The rising cost of housing caused by immigration to areas where people of northern European ancestry reside would create a deadly combination effect where people of northern European ancestry genetically predisposed to k-strategy child-rearing by their ancestral climate, would have an additional impetus to delay childbirth due to the cost of housing.

The Globe and Mail reports that:

The U.S. housing crash may prove to be the economic equivalent of the canary in the coal mine — a warning of impending danger in an economy that has surged too far, too fast. Many experts are now openly speculating about a possible U.S. recession next year, brought on by consumers reacting to the shrinking value of their nest egg. If they’re right, the fallout could prove to be far nastier than the collapse of the technology bubble at the start of the decade.

And, as I already predicted, this will prevent the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates despite the rise of inflation.  This in turn will lead to a return of reserve currency from abroad and the first signs of hyperinflation could appear within a year.  The younger population is no longer the white boomers entering their first years of marriage as it was the last time the Federal Reserve needed to raise interest rates dramatically to stomp out inflation (actually stagflation).  Think of interest rates like a tax transferring wealth from the middle class to the wealthy. If you’ve already transferred net assets to the wealthy, and while doing so you’ve gutted your human capital with genocide as they did against the fertility of the boomer generation then the good old days of Paul Volker’s interest rate spike driven into the heart of stagflation just aren’t an option for the parasites anymore.

“Thermobaric Urban Destruction” is the title of the “users manual” for the latest weapon being deployed by US Marines against “urban targets”.  Basically it is a cheap, highly portable building leveler that mixes “fuel” with air and then sparks it.  This could backfire.  Seriously backfire.  As in “Burning Down the Civilization” backfire.  Thermobarics, as a kind of fuel-air explosive technology, use air for the oxydizer, into which a fuel is sprayed—sort of the way coal mine dust, grain elevator dust and natural gas leak explosions do.  Unlike Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO), you can’t lock onto a substance like ammonium nitrate for detection and control, anymore than you can control access to, uhm, air.  That means you can’t use a substance-control strategy against them without getting rid of gasoline, diesel, natural gas—you know—fuel.  Since everyone drives around in vehicles with tanks filled with the chemical energy equivalent of 500lbs of explosives just waiting for a technology to disperse it efficiently into an aerosol near an enemy’s real estate assets (and/or the enemy himself), it is rather easy to imagine things getting out of hand if the right aerosol technology gets developed.  And with the critical materials so redily available, experimentation with techniques for dispersal—techniques that don’t require a lot in the way of special equipment or materials—will evolve Improvised Explosive Devices terribly rapidly.

To sum up, with the US deploying thermobarics in Iraq for demolishing buildings and killing their occupants, I can easily imagine two things happening:

1. The Iraqi resistance will start to use it in an “open source” developed Improvised Explosive Device.
2. US Hispanic soldiers will acquire this “open source” technology while in Iraq and do a “technology transfer” to US gangs as they have already done with other technology acquired during military service in Iraq.

Once that happends the days of Timothy McVeigh will seem like “the good old days”.
