Norway’s Progress Party wins 20% of the vote

Posted by Guessedworker on Wednesday, 14 September 2005 00:19.

The Norwegian electorate has turned its back on Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik’s Christian Democrats and their main Conservative allies, electing a Red-Green alliance to office and making the “far right” Progress Party the largest party of opposition.

If a parliament dominated by Reds and Greens and the far right sounds pretty wacky you could be right.  But in Norway, apparently, life has the odd political idiosyncrasy.  For one, they get away with some amazing election material:-

“Dangerous Africans walk the streets,” read one campaign slogan on the party’s website, while a poster showed a masked man aiming a shotgun at the reader. “This man is of foreign origin,” the caption said.

The Progress Party also has some very wacky policies for a supposed party of the right:-

... the Progress Party succeeded with a campaign that mixed blaming immigrants for rising crime with calls for tax cuts on alcohol and Mediterranean retirement homes for Norway’s elderly.

Yes, well, we would all like a small retirement apartment in St.Trop.  But there are an awful lot of North Africans mooching around southern France, you know.  Not sure where the benefit lies.

But maybe Jean-Marie could offer French voters a reciprocatory ski deal in the Frozen North, which would at least make the whole thing a cost-free exchange.  That’s “progress”, surely.  Unless French pensioners also wear masks and carry shotguns.


Raico on Churchill

Posted by Guessedworker on Monday, 12 September 2005 23:28.

Thanks to Michael R for sending me this lecture (excerpt) to the Mises Institute by Ralph Raico, titled Rethinking Churchill.

Raico’s argument is that, whilst magnificent as a war-time leader, all his life Winnie was an indefatigable Welfarist/Warfarist.  Notwithstanding the inevitable anti-statist slant underlying Raico’s thinking, I think he is broadly right.  Winnie can certainly be criticised for his lack of Conservative principles (any principles at all, according to Raico).  That lack is most starkly visible in the destructive consequences of so many of his actions.

New Labour’s friends and enemies

Example 1: It is by talking to people with varying views that we find out what the range of opinions is. It doesn’t mean we agree with what they are saying.

A government spokesman defending past consultations with Mr Armad Thomson, from the Association of Muslim Lawyers, following the uncovering of his true opinions by the Telegraph.

Example 2: Britain’s political police have impounded the entire lorry load of the September issue of the party newspaper “Voice of Freedom”.

As the events of the day unfold they reveal a shocking abuse of power, disregard for the law of the land and the extent to which the British government is desperate to stem the advances the BNP is making in communities the length and breadth of the country ...

The 60,000 copies may be lying in a compound but the stories will be available for the entire global Internet population to read. Such a decision can only pile on the embarrassment to the New Labour regime. Any journalist worth his or her self esteem should read these articles in VoF and ask themselves “is this it?” Is that what Blair and Co are trying to suppress?

Yes, “this is it”, it is exactly what the Blair regime wants to suppress.

The news, as reported on the BNP’s website, that New Labour doesn’t want you and me to come into contact with the opinions of the patriotic right.

You can, however, “do a New Labour” and “consult” all 16 pages of the VoF on that link.


So somebody ran to Google and said we are a phishing site!

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 11 September 2005 17:14.

Thanks to Rob for letting me know that the latest edition of the IE browser brings up MR with Google’s new warning flag (on which John posted last month).  It’s purpose is said by Google to be a warning of “dangerous” content.  In effect, and used against a site like ours, it could take away our reputation as people of honest intent - at least with visitors who do not already know us.

My IE, which I don’t use much these days, is too ancient to replicate this delightfully thoughtful piece of larceny.  So I haven’t seen it.  Still, I am sure Rob has it right and some unscrupulous individual is trying to damage us.

It would be interesting to know from readers using the new IE browser which other political sites have acquired this badge of honour.  Not many on the left, I bet.


Call for translation

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 11 September 2005 09:12.

Thanks to Fred for pointing out this poster, issued by some governmental body in Germany - that brown-skinned and by no means brown-shirted land of happy Panmixia of respectful equals (except in boxing, running and penis size, obviously).

The inference seems clear enough.  But I wonder whether any kind and eagle-eyed German speakers among the MR readership could translate the copy for us.  Basically, is the model family in the poster being held up as a generic German family, or is it the purpose of the advertiser to reach out specifically to mixed-race families - perhaps for some vaguely defensible administrative reason?


HIV in Britain “is black and it is gay”

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 September 2005 21:49.

AIDS hasn’t been much in domestic news in Britain for many years.  So you could be forgiven for being a bit surprised by the British government’s new advertising campaign warning of a heterosexual AIDS epidemic?

Celebrities including LL Cool J, Christina Aguilera and Ashley Judd are photographed with their hands clasped over their ears or with their mouths sealed with masking tape.  Below, the relevant bit of the age-old adage is spelt out - Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil - and a reminder about Aids.

The message is clear: when it comes to sex and HIV, we are not listening.  It is the first sally in what will become the most high-profile sex education campaign seen in Britain for many years, including a £50m advertising blitz

Of course, this isn’t the first such campaign.  Back in the 1980’s when the awful shock of AIDs burst upon public consciousness we were treated to a particularly graphic and memorable one.  Falling tombstones, if you recall.  You might also recall that the Tory government of the day was bullied by the homosexual lobby into targeting the campaign at heterosexuals when they all knew who the high-risk minority really was.  It was a spectacularly wrong decision which could have cost many homosexual men their lives.

At least the Tories had to be forced to do the progressive thing.  Labour needs no such encouragment, no bullying to prevent knowledge of the high-risk minority being passed to the population at large.

Wrong welcome

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 September 2005 10:31.

The post below, concerning Mr Lahn’s new thesis, is a first offering by Søren Renner.  Alas, I logged him on our members list complete with the Danish slashed “o”, which our software couldn’t accomodate (in blue type, not black!).  All efforts to correct it have so far proved fruitless.

So would you please bear in mind that Søren’s first post, made inglorious by EE’s non-mastery of Danish and my non-mastery of EE, is indeed this one.

Apologies to Søren.  From here on it will have to be slashless o’s in blue.


A huge evergrowing pulsating brain that rules from the centre of The Ultraworld

Posted by on Saturday, 10 September 2005 10:05.

So the cat that Gregory Cochran hinted at on Monday has been debagged (see here and here).

Cochran says that “genomics will do to leftism what Darwinism did to Christianity”.  These papers have already provoked a response from the race-deniers.  Professors are quoted as pointing out that the ASPM and microcephalin haplotypes at issue may have been targets of selection because of fitness effects having nothing to do with IQ, or even the brain.  Which is possible.  It has been said that even though these haplotypes are common outside sub-Saharan Africa and rare inside it, that black Africans might have other genes exerting other effects which could compensate for the missing haplotypes.  This argument is valid and if, in fact, there were no differences in IQ between populations, but an allele influencing IQ was more common in one population, it would even be a relevant argument.  It is all casuistry, of course, designed to refute (without explicitly raising) the plausible interpretation - namely that these haplotypes do influence cognition, that they do raise IQ, that one of them may have been hybridized in from a non-African-origin population (the other arose too recently) and, worst of all, that their scarcity in modern Africa may result from weaker selective pressure for higher IQ in Africa than in the diaspora.

Let them try to refute that idea: but let it be explicitly raised.  That will be enough.
