For some time folks have been speculating as to the next stage in man’s evolution.  Although I’m not a student of Nietzsche, many references to his Übermensch or Superman pervade white nationalist, particularly white supremacist, thought as well as infusing the Transhumanist paradigm, as this next stage of man’s being.  Especially since the word “Superman” has pervaded popular culture with the recent movie “Superman Returns” featuring the link between this mythic character and the Sun, I’ll adopt that moniker here since I am proposing a key link with the Sun in man’s next stage of evolution.  More precisely,  I am proposing that there is a general form we can expect the Superman to take:

The heliocentric individual. 

The meaning of this phrase is simple:  Fully sexual animals, possibly social but not eusocial, who create what I have previously called their own “Solar Biorb”—a biosphere around the Sun. 

By this I do not mean they set foot upon the Sun.  Nor do I mean there must be ,what is widely misconceived as, a “Dyson Sphere”—a solid spherical shell—for Supermen.  Indeed the idea of building a single entity like a sphere may be, like a hive, antithetical to all but a eusocial species.  “The Hive” is already achieved with exquisite perfection within multicellular, fully sexual beings by the cloning and specialization of cells.  Eusocial insects are regressive.  Freeman Dyson himself did not hypothesis such a single entity (rather “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star”) but it seems a eusocial hive mentality so pervades popular culture that it distorts popular reading comprehension.

No, Superman’s development is—like ours—from zygote to fully sexual, self-sufficient adulthood.  But what sets Superman apart from us is his ability to live in heliocentric space as an individual.  This may mean a very long childhood during which he develops extended phenotypes like the dam of a beaver more ambiguously appearing to be part of his body, like the shell of a mollusk.  As with Man the key difference from the lower animals, is the memetic nature of the Superman’s extended phenotypes—their technically sophisticated nature.  But beyond Man the key is the fantastic new ecological range opened up by the memetic extended phenotypes allowing the reproduction from solar energy and nonterrestrial materials, predominantly the organic materials available from the gas giants like Jupiter.  Eventually this may lead to something akin to stellar husbandry where the Sun itself becomes material food as well as solar energy but such would be another stage of evolution beyond the stage I’m now calling Superman.

The standing advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office for British travellers to Saudi Arabia includes the following:-

Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country in which Islamic law is strictly enforced.  Islamic codes of behaviour and dress are also enforced rigorously.  You should respect them fully.

Homosexual behaviour and adultery are illegal and can carry the death penalty.

The penalties for the possession of, or trade in, alcohol are severe.  Both result in prison sentences.  ... You should not arrive in Saudi Arabia under the influence of alcohol: the consequences could be serious.

... The Saudi legal system differs in many ways from the UK.  Suspects can be held without charge and those detained have in the past not been allowed legal representation.  The Saudi authorities have detained witnesses and victims of crimes.  If you require consular assistance our staff will seek to visit you as soon as they are aware of the case.  However, in some instances they have not been permitted to do so immediately or have had limits applied to access once granted.  We have raised our concern about reports of mistreatment of some suspects during their detention.

Nowhere does the FO specifically state that Western men and women will be punished if they are caught dancing with one another in private.  That, in the event, might turn out to have been something of an oversight:-

Saudi court sentences foreigners for drinking, dancing at mixed gender party

A Saudi Arabian court has convicted and sentenced 20 foreigners to receive lashes and spend several months in prison for attending a party where alcoholic drinks were served and men and women danced, a Saudi newspaper reported Sunday.

The kingdom’s religious police arrested 433 foreigners, including more than 240 women, for attending the “impudent” party in Jiddah, the state-guided newspaper Okaz reported. It did not identify the foreigners, give their nationalities or say when the party took place.

Judge Saud al-Boushi sentenced the 20 to three to four month in prison and ordered them to receive an unspecified number of lashes. They have the right to appeal, the newspaper said.

The prosecutor general charged the 20 with “drinking, arranging for impudent party, mixed dancing and shooting a video for the party,” Okaz said.

The US government’s pro-immigration stance has become the equivalent of a union-busting corrupt police force hired to commit violence against those who would _act_ to stop scabs from crossing the picket line.

The history of union violence is therefore very relevant to the current situation.

At present, the corrupt police force has cowed the picket line into using no force whatsoever despite the fact that they are lawfully entitled to do so given the failure of the government to uphold its part of the New Deal’s nationalization of the union movement.

So the question is, what form does National Union violence take in response to corrupt police thugs hired by the corporations to bust the National Union?

Of all of the stories in this week’s Frontierist News Roundup the most important story involves an immigrant to the US who is worthy of praise, the Belgian father (and mother) of Jules Dervaes, Sr.:
Jules Dervaes, Sr.
For good reason, especially nowadays, we tend to think of “immigrants” in negative terms even though Salter’s preliminary model of ethnic genetic interests indicates immigrants are positive if they increase carrying capacity of their newly adopted land in an amount more than commensurate to the reduction of ethnic genetic interests of the existing population.  In this respect the late Jules Dervaes, Sr. is clearly the son of a model immigrant to the US—one who points to the kind of immigration policy any people interested in being evolutionarily adaptive should adopt.

The following is an e-mail sent by me in my capacity as Executive Secretary of ResistingDefamation.org to William Dean Singleton, Vice Chairman & CEO, MediaNews Group.  It was subject-titled “Hate Speech Unbound: Susan Goldberg & Bruce Newman”.

Susan Goldberg, executive editor of the San Jose Mercury News, and movie critic Bruce Newman struck a blow for the most loathsome kind of hate speech on page 1E in the Mercury News today, 2/2/07, by promoting two hate labels, “shiksa” and “WASP.”

We request that you terminate the employment of both Goldberg and Newman for cause, namely, spreading hatred toward an identifiable section of our community.

SHIKSA

The well-known and widely-recognized hate term shiksa was used in the following way in the second paragraph of the article:

She (Diane Keaton) won an Oscar as the ultimate shiksa (italicized in text)
in “Annie Hall,” so it’s a little unsettling now to see her trying to play the
most aggressive yente (italicized in text) the movies have produced since
“Fiddler On the Roof.”

By linking shiksa to yente and “Fiddler On the Roof,” Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly declared the Jewish nature of shiksa which, we are told by Israel Shahak in “Jewish History, Jewish Religion” on page 26, is defined by the “Megiddo Modern Hebrew-English Dictionary,” published in Israel, as “unclean animal; loathsome creature, abomination.” It also has a colloquial meaning in America and Europe as “Christian whore.”

Somehow the director, Michael Lehmann, was spared any criticism for this film at all. We can only wonder why the director was spared when the female star was pilloried with racist terms.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds shiksa to be repugnant because it is a name for European American women that they did not choose for themselves. Its use is a claim to name all European American women by someone outside the class of people named which, in turn, requires that it be based on a claim to supremacy. That is, Goldberg and Newman openly lay claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European American women. We explicitly condemn their racist claim, and denounce them for claiming supremacy over all European American women. 

In addition, the term shiksa is used to demonstrate contempt (it’s not funny on any level) and to smother the diversity of those so-named. Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is a shocking commentary on the bigotry that lies in the hearts and minds of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that shiksa is “insensitive” or that its use is “offensive” to us. We are simply examining the minds and hearts of Goldberg and Newman, and asking that their employment be terminated.

WASP

The hate term WASP was used in the following way in the third paragraph of the article:

Of course, there’s nothing in the Talmud that says a WASP
can’t be just as meddling a matchmaker as Molly Picon…

We don’t know why Susan Goldberg and Bruce Newman explicitly linked WASP with the Talmud, but they clearly identified the term as a Jewish hate term this way. So let us look at WASP from a Jewish point of view. The Jewish analog is WEJ, a well known term of abuse for Jews which means White European Jew. Not having seen Newman, we don’t know what color he is, but Goldberg certainly qualifies as a WEJ, and we trust she won’t mind our tagging her with it in the same way she worked with Newman to tag European American women with WASP.

None of the Goldberg/Newman criticism of the film in question denigrates the director, Michael Lehmann. Could it be that he is spared name-calling because his last name isn’t Keaton? Readers want to know.

Resisting Defamation, however, finds the use of WASP to be repulsive because it is a name for European American men and women that they did not chose for themselves. Its use is a claim to have a supremacy power, the power to name those not in ones’ own group. We explicitly condemn Goldberg’s and Newman’s open claim to supremacy over (and the right to name) all European Americans.

WASP is used to demonstrate contempt and to smother the diversity of all European Americans. It is a “three-fer” in the world of hate speech by denigrating a skin color (white), an ethnicity (Anglo-Saxon), and a religion (Protestant Christians). Its use in AD 2007 on the pages of the Mercury News is just more commentary on the bigotry that lives in the minds and hearts of Executive Editor Susan Goldberg and movie critic Bruce Newman.

We are not claiming that use of WASP is “insensitive” or “offensive.” To see the entire hateful article go to one of these Internet addresses:

I am indebted to Troy Southgate’s New Right Forum where a member has posted a fascinating commentary on the IDF’s new methods of urban warfare.  The Israelis have applied a postmodernist archetectural analysis to the problem of combatting an urban guerilla force.  The result, complete with all the familiar postmodern linguistics, is the (literally) devastating concept of fighting under and through a dense architectural battlefield.

It is an astounding and disturbing commentary on semitic analysis, and on the - one imagines - extraordinary Ashkenazic capacity to invent new modes of attack.

The Art of War

The Israeli Defence Forces have been heavily influenced by contemporary philosophy, highlighting the fact that there is considerable overlap among theoretical texts deemed essential by military academies and architectural schools by Eyal Weizman
The attack conducted by units of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on the city of Nablus in April 2002 was described by its commander, Brigadier-General Aviv Kokhavi, as ‘inverse geometry’, which he explained as ‘the reorganization of the urban syntax by means of a series of micro-tactical actions’.1 During the battle soldiers moved within the city across hundreds of metres of ‘overground tunnels’ carved out through a dense and contiguous urban structure. Although several thousand soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas were manoeuvring simultaneously in the city, they were so ‘saturated’ into the urban fabric that very few would have been visible from the air. Furthermore, they used none of the city’s streets, roads, alleys or courtyards, or any of the external doors, internal stairwells and windows, but moved horizontally through walls and vertically through holes blasted in ceilings and floors. This form of movement, described by the military as ‘infestation’, seeks to redefine inside as outside, and domestic interiors as thoroughfares. The IDF’s strategy of ‘walking through walls’ involves a conception of the city as not just the site but also the very medium of warfare – a flexible, almost liquid medium that is forever contingent and in flux.

This Times piece on the renaissance of the thinking Conservative right in Britain is instructive.  Perhaps.

Michael Gove, the Surrey Heath MP and housing spokesman for the Tories, is founding chairman of Policy Exchange and close to Mr Cameron. He said: “A precursor to electoral victory is victory in the battle of ideas and the battle for the agenda.”

... Most of the centre-right think-tanks are linked through a web of personal and professional connections, and many have close ties with the Conservative Party — although some fiercely defend their political independence.

They cover the entire range of issues, with Civitas — the Institute for the Study of Civil Society — wanting more family values, Reform campaigning for more market forces in public services, Open Europe opposing EU integration, the TaxPayers’ Alliance demanding lower taxes, Migrationwatch UK urging less immigration, Direct Democracy calling for more local decision making, and Policy Exchange, Mr Cameron’s favourite, establishing an agenda for compassionate Conservatism.

Research by The Times shows that five of the main new think-tanks — all formed since 2000 — are now quoted on average thirty times a week by national newspapers, three times more than two years ago.
