Frontierist News Roundup 20070112 Some highlights for this week: Earliest “out of Africa” frontierists didn’t resemble Africans… Israelis attempt a bad version of my idea... Israelis prepare to use nukes… Virulent drug-resistant staph turns out to be sexually transmissible… 2000 year old blond mummy found with mythological pictures and tools in the Altai mountains… Hormone mimicking chemicals in food changing child sexual development… Photos of offshore windfarm construction… Massachusetts community prints its own money with local backing from banks… Cheap desktop rapid prototyping machine… DNA Ancestry Project and a Dienekes blog on DNA mass market DNA testing and National Geographic’s $100 DNA fingerprint service. “The new method will help computers filter e-mail spam, perform Web searches and even conduct electronic intelligence gathering at a much more sophisticated level than current programs, according to researchers Evgeniy Gabrilovich and Shaul Markovitch of the Technion Faculty of Computer Science. The findings will be presented next week in Hyderabad, India during the Twentieth International Joint Conference for Artificial Intelligence.” “The program devised by the Technion researchers helps computers map single words and larger fragments of text to a database of concepts built from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which has over one million articles in its English-language version. The Wikipedia-based concepts act as “background knowledge” to help computers figure out the meaning of the text entered into a Web search, for instance.” Anyone who looks critically at Wikipedia knows it is biased. One of my primary motives for suggesting the lossless compression ratio of Wikipedia be associated with prize awards is that maximizing parsimony requires critical thinking—indeed lossless compression ratio is the key to measuring the quality of one’s model of the phenomena one is observing and such is now widely accepted as proven in the information sciences. What the Israelis are doing is attempting to promote the uncritical integration of Wikipedia into the world’s desktop “truth speakers”. “A reason is his new home fuel cell, a machine as large and quiet as a filing cabinet that sits in front of his house and turns hydrogen [from natural gas] into electricity and cold water into hot — at a fraction of regular utility costs. But even with the futuristic device, which is available for now only in Japan, Mr. Kimura has not let up on the other shortcuts that leave him unscathed by last year’s oil squeeze.” “Toys “R” Us Inc. has come under fire for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 savings bond prize in a contest for the New Year’s first baby because the company said the girl’s mother is not a legal U.S. resident.” “The company said Saturday evening it would award each of the three babies in the grand prize pool of the “First Baby of the Year Sweepstakes” a $25,000 savings bond. Toys “R” Us is the parent company of Babies “R” Us, which sponsored the contest.” Does anyone at the INS read the papers? “In the hours before his death on the evening of December 30, the first black mayor of this overwhelmingly white town started learning his new job.” “The coroner and the sheriff have pronounced Washington’s death a suicide—a finding that has embroiled this oil-refinery town in conspiracy theories, with Washington’s kin and friends insisting he had no reason to end his life.” The above story is from Westlake, Louisiana. Ramakrishnan writes: And my response. “Capitalism That Crosses Cultures: Will U.S. firms embrace Islamic investment rules?” “Plans include the construction of a half-size replica of Cordoba’s eighth century great mosque, according to the head of Cordoba’s Muslim Association.” “Culture Clash in Denmark: The close-knit Danes find their liberal ideals tested by a growing, alienated Muslim population” Power Washing 188 Suffolk St., Manhattan “Why blurring sensitive [numerical and textual] information is a bad idea” Obfuscating numbers and text through pixelation can leave enough information to reconstruct the original message. “The most damaging earthquake in Australia’s history was caused by humans, new research says.” “Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), ranking Republican and former committee chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and three other committee members introduced legislation to fully repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT) as of 2007.” “[The AMT] was originally intended to target 155 high-income households that were taking advantage of so many tax benefits that they wound up paying little or no income tax under the tax code of the time.” And the rest of us can slide into the lower class to slug it out with the third world hoards. “MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITY PRINTS ITS OWN MONEY” “Just ten weeks after Berk Shares made their debut on the streets and in the cash registers of southern Berkshire County, Massachusetts, trade in this model local currency has been brisk. Berk Shares Inc., the organization sponsoring the project, estimates that 333,000 Berk Shares have already been purchased from the four participating banks. Much of that has already gone into the hands of the 188 participating local merchants and service providers, who, in turn, have spent the currency at other participating local businesses.” “Satellite photo of Iran’s uranium enrichment facility. “The British newspaper paper said that two IAF squadrons had been training to blow up an enrichment plant in Natanz using low-yield nuclear “bunker busters.”“ “A heavy water plant at Arak and a uranium conversion plant at Isfahan would also be targeted, using conventional bombs, according to the Sunday Times.” “In a stark statement published on Saturday [Israeli] Brigadier General Oded Tira observed, “President Bush lacks the political power to attack Iran. As an American strike in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party (which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper editors. We need to do this in order to turn the Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the Iraq failure.”“ Michael Ledeen shows the goys how the Big Lie is done. “The return of Democratic manliness was no accident; it was a carefully planned strategy. But now that the Macho Dems are walking the halls of Congress, it remains to be seen whether they will create as many problems for Democrats as they solved. After all, these new Democrats have heterodox political views that could complicate Democratic caucus politics, and their success may raise uncomfortable questions for those Democrats who don’t pass the new macho test.” “The architects of this strategy, Representative Rahm Emanuel, Mr. Lapp’s boss, as well as Senator Charles Schumer, are well-known political pit bulls. Mr. Emanuel won his Congressional seat by navigating the ward politics of Chicago’s old-fashioned political machine.” “He is missing half of one finger — his aides refer to him as “nine point five” — and swears enough to make a Soprano blush. Senator Schumer is so aggressive and demanding that he has a reputation as one of the most difficult people in the Senate to work for. Both men, who have been elevated to leadership positions in the new Congress, are throwbacks to the era when tough-guy Democrats were urban ethnic politicians, like Dan Rostenkowski and Tip O’Neill.” The author thinks that Charles Schumer and Rahm Emanuel belong in the “Alpha Male Democrat” category. Check out the graphic that accompanies the article; I think the artist disagrees with the author. “The 50,000-person company wants 20 percent of senior managers working at the proposed Globalization Center in Bangalore by 2010. The executives will be a mixture of rising stars from San Jose and Bangalore and talent plucked from acquisitions and competitors worldwide.” “Zeev Avni, who was involved in one of Israel’s most secret espionage affairs, died last week at age 86, Haaretz newspaper reported today. Avni, a Mossad agent, was arrested in April 1956 on suspicion of being a KGB agent. It emerged that while he was cultivating former Nazis employed as military advisers by Egypt’s army for the Mossad, he was also serving as a long-term Soviet mole.” I didn’t realize that Mossad agents who provided information to the Soviets were considered double agents. I thought they were just multi-tasking. A look at attempts to define Europe’s borders. “Restaurant experts and economists said they knew of no other food chain with locations so far from the Mexican border offering such a service.” 46% of UC Berkeley students are Asian. There is not one black engineering student at the school. Photos of offshore wind farm construction “The study, by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, also shows that tax rates for middle-income earners edged up in 2004, the most recent year for which data was available, while rates for people at the very top continued to decline.” “We have been working on a system that combines some existing indirect solar technologies to build a location independent, renewable, reliable and economically feasible indirect solar electrical power generation system. The idea is to ‘roll-your-own’ geothermal source by capturing heat from the ambient air with a solar powered absorption heat pump, store it underground and generate electricity from the air cooling convection. When the air is cooler the stored heat is then used in a reverse process to generate electricity by transferring the heat back to the air when it is cooler (at night or seasonal). There are many additional benefits including clean water capture from the “dehumidifier” effect of the air cooling, construction from common materials and thermal storage that may be incorporated into dwelling heat systems.” “It was not immediately clear who turned off the tap. The head of Russia’s oil pipeline monopoly today accused Belarus of illegally siphoning off oil beginning on Saturday, escalating a dispute between Russia and Belarus over customs duties and transit fees for energy shipments.” “MARINETTE, Wisconsin (AP)—In a case that could further expose racial tensions between white residents and Asian immigrants here, a local sheriff said a Hmong man found dead in the woods Saturday was murdered.” “A cheap self-assembly device capable of fabricating 3D objects has been developed by US researchers. They hope the machine could kick start a revolution in home fabrication – or “rapid prototyping” – just as early computer kits sparked an explosion in home computing.” “Officials are baffled by the unexplained deaths which have affected Australia and the U.S.” “Three weeks ago thousands of crows, pigeons, wattles and honeyeaters fell out of the sky in Esperance, Western Australia.” “Then last week dozens of grackles, sparrows and pigeons dropped dead on two streets in Austin, Texas.” “The warrior was blond had tattoos on his body. He was wearing a felt coat with sable fur trimmings and was buried in a wooden frame containing drawings of mythological creatures with an icepick beside him, the paper said.” “It also stresses the idea that contrary to popular treatments such as Spencer Wells’ Journey of Man, the appearance of African hunter-gatherers such as the Khoi-San should not be used as a model of what mankind’s earliest African ancestors looked like.” “Alarmed by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein’s record-setting $53M bonus, Charles Wheelan (aka The Naked Economist) argues that income inequality matters. Wheelan notes that the Gini Coefficient (a measure of income inequality) for the U.S. has been moving away from countries like Japan and Sweden and closer to that of Brazil, where the murder rate is 5X that of NYC and crime is materially impacting GDP.” And my response.

From the Denmark article: Old, ethnically grounded societies are being roiled by the presence of Muslim newcomers–or at least by the reaction to them. “There’s kind of an unspoken assumption that they’re not really Dutch, not really Danes, and so forth,” reasons one senior U.S. official who follows the phenomenon. “Europeans are uncomfortable with Islam, and they see it as an alien body in their midst. ... Europe’s got a huge problem, and they’re just getting their minds around it now.”
At bottom, this is a trial of strength between the shallow roots of suidalism (in the guise of universalism and liberalism) and the deep roots of ethnic self-preference and preservation. One of them is going to be pulled up and cast aside. I have never believed that liberalism can survive a fight to the death against, essentially, Nature. OK, the enemy “forces” are manifold and include:-
1) the power elite, 2) the sleepful suggestibility of Man, 3) the psychologically prescriptive liberal zeitgeist, 4) the success of capitalism at keeping us distracted, 5) the decline in Western fertility, 6) the ongoing societal destruction of culture war (not unconnected to the pursuit of Jewish ethnic interests), etc.
Of course, it’s formidable. We know that. But self-preservation will always out in the end. In important ways, though, it is not enough in itself. New wave politics requires new wave philosophy.
