On a recent thread Karlmagnus invited us to post on Wolfie’s romantic difficulties, for which purpose I have been waiting for the unsavoury denouement.  However, I no longer need worry since the Bear has covered the matter in his latest offering at prudentbear.com.  The President of the World Bank may be pleased to learn that the column does not dwell too long on his love life.  He may be less pleased to learn that it details instead some of the unlovely aspects of the world he is striving so manfully to create.

The decline of established institutions is supposed to be a liberating process, allowing individuals to express themselves fully and society to reach its potential through temporary structures that express its needs and values at a given time. Yet for those of us who are not 28 year old hedge fund traders, the new unstructured world seems likely to be a pretty grim place. “If you want a friend, get a dog” is in the long run an unpleasant way to live life.

The public sector in this respect is less of a problem than the private. The IMF and the World Bank have lost their useful economic role (to the extent they ever had one) but it appears unlikely that they will ever be abolished. The World Bank in particular is currently going through a bout of questioning because of its president Paul Wolfowitz’s crusade against Third World corruption. This is an entirely worthy if unpopular cause that is marred by the World Bank’s arrogance in tying it to handouts of money and by Wolfowitz’s own activity in arranging an overpaid tax-free job for his mistress. (One does not wish to be ungallant, but those wishing to make a salacious meal out of this case cannot have Googled the lady’s photo.)

The Nanjing Anti-African riots leading to Tiananmen Square may, themselves, have been a precursor to today’s massacre at Virginia Tech University reportedly committed by an Asian student (although verification is not yet in).  If so, it is important to discuss the raciosexual (yes I made up that word and it deserves reification) dynamics of campus life, particularly how it impacts the education of young men not equipped to deal with a sexual ecology that would never appear in nature.  If this is taken to mean I harbor sympathies for young men who might go on murderous rampages against those of another race that are fucking their women on campus—the answer is, “Yes”.  If this is further taken to mean that I hold innocent young men, living among foreigners in another country, who go on such rampages—the answer is, “No”.

It is on this basis that I would like to interview a Chinese nationalist with first-hand knowledge of the situation facing young men in Nanjing so we can discuss how to prevent such torture of young men trying to receive an education—and potentially prevent catastrophic wars between our great nations resulting from vicious policies of multiculturalism.

UPDATE 4:46PM PDT:

A Times Now report quotes a witness to the shootings:

“...The gunman appeared to be Asian and was looking for his girlfriend,” the student said.

I know it is unfair of me to say, “I told you so.” since I used racial reality to impute motive accurately and it is just unfair to perceive race reality—at least its unfair for white heterosexual males to use such forbidden knowledge.

FURTHER UPDATE 6:55PM PDT:

Daily Mail UK reports that:

He was said to have quarrelled in a dormitory with his girlfriend, whom he believed had been seeing another man. A student adviser was called to sort out the row. But the killer produced a gun and shot dead both his girlfriend and the adviser.

Two hours later he rampaged through an engineering building on the other side of the campus in the town of Blacksburg, killing indiscriminately.

So the sexual hypothesis is supported by further reports.  The question remaining before we may reasonably conclude this was a raciosexual-motivated massacre is whether there were the expected number of Asian male victims given the reported “indiscriminate” killing.  If we are going to strongly falsify the raciosexual motive hypothesis, the number of Asian males should approximate their percentage at such an engineering school.

UPDATE April 20, 1:30PM PDT:

The list of victims with photographs are now available and do not support the naive “Asian-chauvinist” raciosexual motive, although a raciosexual cause may still be valid hypothesizing a higher vulnerability of east Asian men to sexually vicious multicultural environments—hence a higher level of stress.

Moreover, an interesting fact is that it appears there are actually more “Asian” victims than one would expect by more than a factor of 2. However, these are divided between East Asian victims (Henry Lee and Mary Read) and other “Asians”: South Asian victims (G.V. Loganathan, Partahi Lombantoruan, Minal Panchal, Reema Samaha) and West Asian victims (Ross Abdallah Alameddine and Reema Samaha both Lebonese—and we might include the Egyptian Waleed Mohammed Shaalan). There are a lot more dark skinned Asians among the victims than one would expect. Moreover, the sole female East Asian victim was Korean, “born on an Air Force base”—meaning she was probably sired by a white military man with a Korean mother. Given these nuances it is rather difficult to dismiss the raciosexual hypothesis altogether and indeed, it seems desirable to invoke a variant of the raciosexual hypothesis to explain the over-abundance of dark-skinned Asians among the victim list and the “coincidence” that the sole east Asian female victim was not only a conational of the killer but the product of an interracial marriage involving a Korean mother.

Soren has conducted a second interview with Dr Tomislav Sunic.  File size 57.5 Mb, run-time 1hr 2min 45sec.

The UK Independent reports that:

US forces have fired so many bullets in Iraq and Afghanistan - an estimated 250,000 for every insurgent killed - that American ammunition-makers cannot keep up with demand. As a result the US is having to import supplies from Israel.

One has visions of US soldiers running around the world firing machine guns randomly into the hills hoping to kill everything that might possibly endanger them.  Such Keystone Cops posturing must be an endless source of inspiration for the US’s enemies. 

Why, its a veritable comedy cavalcade!

One can’t begin to imagine the gut-wrenching laughter at the US resorting to Israel for manufacturing.

What would Henry Ford do?

... these words:-

The disgraced district attorney in the Duke lacrosse rape case apologized to the three athletes in a carefully worded statement Thursday as their lawyers weighed whether to sue him - and some legal experts say they have a case.

While prosecutors generally have immunity for what they do inside the courtroom, experts said that protection probably doesn’t cover some of Mike Nifong’s more questionable actions in his handling of the case - such as calling the lacrosse players “a bunch of hooligans” in one of several interviews deemed unethical by the state bar.

“I think their chances of success suing Mr. Nifong are reasonably good, despite what we call prosecutorial immunity,” said John Banzhaf, a professor at the George Washington University School of Law.

On Wednesday, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper threw out the case against the three young men, pronounced them innocent and delivered a withering attack on Nifong, portraying him as a “rogue” prosecutor guilty of “overreaching.” Cooper said Nifong rushed the case, failed to verify the accuser’s allegations and pressed on despite the warning signs.

In his first comment on that decision, Nifong said in a statement Thursday: “To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three students that were wrongly accused.”

He issued what appeared to be a plea to the students not to take any further action, saying, “It is my sincere desire that the actions of Attorney General Cooper will serve to remedy any remaining injury that has resulted from these cases.”

So far, attorneys for David Evans, Reade Seligmann, and Collin Finnerty have not said whether they plan a civil action against Nifong. But they have not ruled it out.

This entry on Stratclyde Police’s website appears to have been picked up by local media, thence the BBC and AP.  Well, it’s evil white racism against a poor Algerian asylum seeker and her child, isn’t it?  Or is it?

Indecent Assault - Yoker

Strathclyde Police is appealing for witnesses after a 33-year-old woman and her 1- year-old son were indecently assaulted near Yoker.

About 1630 hours on Tuesday 3 April 2007 a 33-year-old woman was walking her 1-year-old son in his pram on the cycle path between Plean Street and Dyke Road, Yoker, Glasgow when they were approached by a group of males who threw stones at them and then kicked the woman.

One man then exposed himself and indecently assaulted the woman and then attempted to perform an indecent act on the 1-year-old boy.

The woman fled the scene with her child, leaving the pram, a headscarf and a baby’s bottle on the cycle path.

The suspect is described as a white male, aged 20 to 25, very short hair, tall and thin and wearing white and blue track suit trousers.

DI Andy McWilliam said today “This was a particularly harrowing ordeal for the woman and her son. I would urge the other males in this group to assist the police in identifying the male responsible. I am also keen to locate the whereabouts of the pram, headscarf and baby’s bottle.

No mention yet of video or DNA evidence, which would seal the issue.  But we’ll see.

Yet another study verifies the knowledge we gain through experience:-

Blacks tend to be prideful and self-inflated.

The poor academic and economic achievement of black people is often blamed on low self-esteem, the result of discrimination from birth and endless negative stereotypes. But the most definitive study on the subject now contradicts this belief: black teenagers do not have lower self-esteem than whites, but higher. Anti-racism campaigners claim that the report suggests there is even more discrimination against blacks than previously thought.

In an article in the US journal Psychological Bulletin, an African-American psychologist shows that whatever the effects of racism, poor self-esteem is not one of them. Except for the very young and very rich, blacks have higher self-esteem than their white counterparts, she demonstrates, and have had for years.

Bernadette Gray-Little, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina, performed a complex review of every piece of research available on black self-esteem. Using a technique called meta-analysis, her research culled data from the studies and treated them as if they were part of one giant study, making her results less likely to be the result of chance.

‘There have been inconsistencies in the results of the studies on this topic over time,’ says Gray-Little. ‘I wanted to see if I could find any basis for a firm conclusion. And if inconsistencies occurred, I wanted to know when and why.’

She found that before the age of 10, whites slightly surpass blacks in self-esteem. Everyone’s self-esteem dips in the later years of school. After that, blacks narrowly but consistently surpass whites, up to the age of 21, the upper limit of the study.

The self-esteem gap seems to depend on wealth. Low-income blacks show higher self-esteem than low-income whites. But the gap disap pears at higher income levels. The study also shows that black self-esteem has not risen over time. The theory of many psychologists was that as blacks gained in civil liberties, their self-esteem would rise. But the study shows it has never been low.

The report will confound black activists who have seen raising black self-esteem as the key to overcoming social disadvantage.

So blacks typically have higher self-esteem than their white counterparts.  However - in typical fashion - the results of the study have been interpreted through the lens of egalitarianism which, like its optical counterpart, reverses reality:-
