As I previously wrote in “Ethnic Intellectual Property Theft and the Decline of Civilizations”, the founding company of Silicon Valley, Hewlett Packard, is leading Western Civilization in the race to the dustbin of history.  Today, India Times Reports that:

Hewlett-Packard has named Prith Banerjee as director of its storied HP Labs research unit, replacing Dick Lampman, who is retiring.

Prith Banerjee, the new head of Silicon Valley’s founding company’s department of really cool and expensive toys with which to get your name on patents as “inventor”, is quoted, in a Sify News interview, titled ‘I may be in US, but my heart is in India’ as saying:

in my heart, I am still very much an Indian

Goodbye, .  Hello, .

This Is London reports that:

Bus drivers are to be issued with DNA kits so that passengers who spit on them can be traced by police… It is the latest initiative against anti-social behaviour on buses and has coincided with the Mayor’s introduction of free bus travel for under-16s… Tom Scanlon, secretary of Unite’s T&G section, said: “...Free travel reduces the scope for confrontations over fares.”

So the free travel decreases problems?  Think again…

New figures released by TfL to the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act found that in the year since free bus travel was introduced in September 2005 there were 5,701 reports of youth crime on buses - up 55 per cent on the 3,666 reports in the previous 12-month period.

The more “tolerant” among us might find this “funny” if not for the fact that spitting is one of the ways you can get a good infectious dose of XDR TB bacilli.  Keep in mind, it can take years to detect and once detected it can take hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of isolation to treat.

Empty the cities now.

Back in February this article by journalist Edmund Burke appeared in the Brisbane tabloid, Courier-Mail.  It was not very subtle in the way it set about its business:-

FORMER One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, the proudly outspoken proponent of polarising immigration policies, has discovered she is of Middle Eastern heritage.

When told of the results, the former fish and chip shop owner appeared flustered, making references to “rape and pillage” in ancient times, adding:
“All I can think of is that probably down the track it eventuated from some war.

“But I’m not going to knock it. It has made me who I am.”

Ms Hanson is not the only prominent Queenslander with a mixed racial background, with the same international testing process revealing that Premier Peter Beattie has even greater links to the Middle East.

Middle Eastern is defined for the test as modern-day Saudi Arabia, Iraq, parts of Iran, Syria and Jordan and the Arab countries of North Africa.

Greece and Turkey are defined as southeastern European while northern European is defined by countries such as England, Ireland and Scotland.

The tests use 176 genetic markers to trace racial ancestry back thousands of years and were carried out by Florida-based company DNAPrint Genomics.

When taking the test at her rural property outside Ipswich before Christmas, Ms Hanson, who recently attacked Muslims for “eradicating Australian traditions”, said she was confident her ancestry came from England and Ireland.

In December the right-wing firebrand, who once warned that Australia was in danger of being swamped by Asians, launched a fresh attack on black South Africans and Muslims.

Since the preamble of the US Constitution specifies the purpose of the government was to “secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity”, it is rather significant when the New York Times wheels out a symbol of that “posterity” such as “The Daughters of the American Revolution”, as they did on June 26 of 1965 during the debate over the revolutionary Immigration and Nationalities Act of 1965, the chief debate issue over which was whether it would replace that posterity with other nationalities.  Proponents claimed it would not.  Opponents claimed it would. 

The NYT’s principle headline read “IMMIGRATION LAW PRAISED BY D.A.R.”

So it looks like the posterity’s own watch-dog group, itself didn’t see it as a threat, just as John Derbyshire would today have us believe.

But wait…. here’s the first sentence of the article:

The Daughters of the American Revolution said today that President Johnson’s bill to abolish the national origins quota system of immigration would destroy “a first-line of defense in perpetuating our institutions of freedom and the American way of life.”

Gross incompetence in headline writing or gross mendacity by the US’s “newspaper of record”?

Either way, one can hardly claim that the posterity of the Founders suddenly decided in 1965, that the purpose upon which the US was founded had become obsolete, their rights alienable and hence embraced their revolutionary replacement by other nationalities.

We’ve all heard about the “Limits to Growth”.  Well, the results of the computer program that started it all are published in “World Dynamics” by Jay W. Forrester (The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1971; second edition, 1973).  Back then you had to be at an institution to run the computer program to simulate the future world dynamics, so modeled.  Nowadays you can run it on your own personal computer and play around with the model all you want (after spending a day or two going through the tutorials).  All you need to do is download Vensim PLE (take care to download all files first to a known location like your “Desktop” so you can direct the installer program to them when it asks you for their location), and then open the WORLD.MDL file most likely located at: C:\Program Files\Vensim\models\sample\EXTRA\WORLD.MDL

Read on for some screen shots of the output.

PS: Meadows et al’s 2003 update to the original model is in the file WRLD3-03.VMF, most likely located at C:\Program Files\Vensim\models\sample\WRLD3-03\WRLD3-03.VMF

Some “American” who had XDR TB or “extremely drug resistant tuberculosis”, a disease that costs $500,000 to treat in specialized isolation wards, took a trip to Greece exposing airline passengers.  Authorities won’t identify him due to the “stigma”.  After his arrival in Montreal he was detained.  Now, this is interesting enough in its own right, however I found the press reaction interesting in its curious exclusion of any white males as authority figures…

An interesting synchronicity occurred today involving Steve Sailer’s mention of “Stock and Flow”, John Derbyshire’s claim that “If Americans minded what was happening, they didn’t mind enough to stop it.” regarding the US’s majority dispossession, and my having spent the last week acquainting myself with system dynamics software so I could, based on my early work on limits to growth, try some pedagogy to deal with the innumerate.

Herein I discuss a bit how Mr. Derbyshire’s statements make it obvious that, whatever his book-learning about mathematics, he is functionally innumerate hence the worst form of pedant.

So the outsider, the Iraq man Wolfowitz just didn’t have the class or inspire the confidence to lead the World Bank on the nine-year trek towards the sunlit, global poverty-free uplands of 2015.  A really rather minor problem with his somewhat unlikely girlfriend, Shaha Riza - just a matter of arranging jobs, steepling pay rises, and “outstanding” ratings in performance reviews, nothing really - has proved fatal.  All a bit of a shock for someone doing probably only what he thought everyone always did.  This time next month the Wolf will be stoically packing away his unused WB-imprinted toilet rolls in his WB-embossed briefcase, and walking out into the DC night a banking giant no more.

Despite pleas from several member-nations for the choice of successor to be thrown open to non-Americans, President Bush announced his man for the job today.  It’s career diplomat turned Goldman Sachs banker, Robert Zoellick.  An administration official said that his dual experience “makes him uniquely prepared to take on this challenge.”

Prepared certainly.

After the Wolfowitz resignation, the man charged with “finding” a successor was US treasury secretary Henry Paulson.  Now Paulson is, some may be surprised to hear, a Christian Scientist.  But the important point is that he is actually Goldman Sachs to the core, having joined the bank in 1974 and succeeded to the post of CEO in the early 2000s.  He has a net worth estimated at $700 million.  Like each of his three previous Goldman Sachs CEOs, Joe Corzine, Stephen Friedman and Robert Rubin, he found the pull of a government appointment too strong and took up the post of Treasury Secretary in June of last year (it was thought at the time that one Robert Zoellick might beat him to it).  Strangely, a former colleague at Goldman Sachs, Bob Steel, has just been nominated as Undersecretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance.

This cosy relationship between money and power has been going on since the days of FDR, when Goldman Sachs then head Sydney Weinberg made the switch.  He argued for other senior executives to follow him in a second career as a public servant, and the trend was quickly established.  It is recognised in the recruiting strategy at the bank, which consciously seeks managers with government experience.

Robert Zoellick - no Christian Scientist, by the way - is such an individual.  It must have been a tough job for Paulson to root out a man with such rare gifts at ... Goldman Sachs.  Among these is a past association with Team Bush, namely that in the run up to the 2000 Presidential Election, Zoellick served on a foreign policy advisory group known as the Vulcans, led by Condoleezza Rice.  Other group members included Richard Armitage, Richard Perle and ... Paul Wolfowitz.  Small world.

But then Zoellick goes back with Wolfowitz, Armitage and Perle well into the nineties.  All three were signatories to a letter to President Clinton drafted on 26th January 1998 by the PNAC calling for “removing Saddam’s regime from power.”  Small, small world.  Just as it is designed to be.
