Illegal immigration problem is fault of those who hire illegals
We already knew we had broken borders. And when Congress chickened out on immigration reform and showed that it's not equipped to tackle anything more challenging than pork or pay raises, we knew we had a broken branch. Now it's clear that we have a broken dialogue.
We like to think of ourselves, and our communities, as innocent victims of sinister forces that are beyond our control. Concerned that there are too many illegal immigrants in the United States, that our culture is getting too spicy, and that the country is becoming too Hispanic, we blame Mexico or mega-corporations or what one commentator ominously labeled "socio-ethnic centric groups" such as the National Council of La Raza.
You see, illegal immigration is always someone else's fault. At least that's what we tell ourselves. It's easier that way.
[ This man tells the truth. People want cheap labor, cheap chicken and cheap vegetables, and they don't think about the consequences, much in the same way they tolerate the environment getting torn up for profit. ]

Hispanics begin open race warfare on whites
The Corle brothers, who are white, say they and a friend had driven to Los Jilbertos, 2812 North Ave., about 1 a.m. Sunday to grab something to eat and were sitting outside the restaurant when a red Honda pulled into the parking lot and a group of young Hispanic men got out.
Nathan Corle, 16, said the men began yelling at them, calling them “white boys” and asking them what they were looking at and if they wanted to fight. He said he laughed because he thought it was a joke.
A fight ensued between the Corle brothers and their friend and what they estimated to be six to eight Hispanic men. During the fight, Nathan Corle said he heard the Hispanic males yelling “‘We’re going to teach white boys a lesson. White boys are going to die.’”
Police arrested two men, Cesar Javier Haro, 18, and Edward Portillo, 19, on suspicion of ethnic intimidation, a felony, and third-degree assault, among other charges.
The brothers said they have heard from friends of similar attacks on whites by Hispanics in Grand Junction.
[ Good for these Hispanics. They haven't forgotten ethnic pride, and a sense of competition, while whites are too busy watching TV. ]

American troops frag war hero
He was shot three times in the forehead at close range with an American M-16. This was after he was shot in the chest, legs and hand. And this was after he screamed to the “friendlies” that he was Pat Tillman and please stop shooting him. But they didn’t; they executed him. They were Americans.

Hyperwhite
What is a nerd? Mary Bucholtz, a linguist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has been working on the question for the last 12 years. She has gone to high schools and colleges, mainly in California, and asked students from different crowds to think about the idea of nerdiness and who among their peers should be considered a nerd; students have also .reported. themselves. Nerdiness, she has concluded, is largely a matter of racially tinged behavior. People who are considered nerds tend to act in ways that are, as she puts it, "hyperwhite."

Environment affects higher castes less than poor
The heritability of IQ at the low end of the wealth spectrum was just 0.10 on a scale of zero to one, while it was 0.72 for families of high socioeconomic status. Conversely, the importance of environmental

Anti-Semitism rising in England
The number of anti-Semitic incidents in Britain increased by 34 percent last year, according to records collected by the Community Security Trust, a charity that monitors anti-Semitism in Britain and is regularly cited in government reports for being more comprehensive than police data.
That was the biggest annual increase since 1984, when the charity began collecting figures. Based on current projections, the number of incidents this year is on track to equal last year's.
Many of the physical assaults on British Jews are committed by Muslim extremists who blame all Jews for the conditions of Palestinians in Israel and Israeli-occupied areas. According to a poll in the London Times in December 2005, 37 percent of Britain’s 2 million Muslims agreed that all 268,000 members of the Jewish community were legitimate targets because of Israel’s policies.

Genes operate more like computer code than shopping lists
Last month, a consortium of scientists published findings that challenge the traditional view of how genes function. The exhaustive four-year effort was organized by the United States National Human Genome Research Institute and carried out by 35 groups from 80 organizations around the world. To their surprise, researchers found that the human genome might not be a “tidy collection of independent genes” after all, with each sequence of DNA linked to a single function, such as a predisposition to diabetes or heart disease.
Instead, genes appear to operate in a complex network, and interact and overlap with one another and with other components in ways not yet fully understood. According to the institute, these findings will challenge scientists “to rethink some long-held views about what genes are and what they do.”
Biologists have recorded these network effects for many years in other organisms. But in the world of science, discoveries often do not become part of mainstream thought until they are linked to humans.
...
Because donor genes could be associated with specific functions, with discrete properties and clear boundaries, scientists then believed that a gene from any organism could fit neatly and predictably into a larger design — one that products and companies could be built around, and that could be protected by intellectual-property laws.
This presumption, now disputed, is what one molecular biologist calls “the industrial gene.”
“The industrial gene is one that can be defined, owned, tracked, proven acceptably safe, proven to have uniform effect, sold and recalled,” said Jack Heinemann, a professor of molecular biology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and director of its Center for Integrated Research in Biosafety.
[ You can't tell the degree of difference between ethnicities or species by counting genes. That should've been obvious. ]

Divorce solves no problems, but creates new problems
Findings from the first scholarly study of unhappy marriages challenges conventional wisdom. Conducted by a team of leading family scholars headed by University of Chicago sociologist Linda Waite, the study found no evidence that unhappily married adults who divorced were typically any happier than unhappily married people who stayed married.
Even more dramatically, the researchers also found that two-thirds of unhappily married spouses who stayed married reported that their marriages were happy five years later. In addition, the most unhappy marriages reported the most dramatic turnarounds: among those who rated their marriages as very unhappy, almost eight out of 10 who avoided divorce were happily married five years later.
[ Arranged marriages are often happier than marriages of choice. What does this tell us? We grow up as we age, and we need to meet the other person halfway. Find a compatible partner, but the rest is work! However, it is a challenge that in victory brings happiness, where divorce is in most cases running away. Obviously, abusive spouses are another story, but they're the minority. ]

Breast ironing in West Africa
"Breast ironing" -- the use of hard or heated objects or other substances to try to stunt breast growth in girls -- is a traditional practice in West Africa, experts say.
A new survey has revealed it is shockingly widespread in Cameroon, where one in four teen-agers are subjected to the traumatic process by relatives, often hoping to lessen their sexual attractiveness.
"Breast ironing is an age-old practice in Cameroon, as well as in many other countries in West and Central Africa, including Chad, Togo, Benin, Guinea-Conakry, just to name a few," said Flavien Ndonko, an anthropologist and local representative of German development agency GTZ, which sponsored the survey.
"If society has been silent about it up to now it is because, like other harmful practices done to women such as female genital mutilation, it was thought to be good for the girl," said Ndonko.
[ If feminists were serious, they'd get machine guns and go stop this practice. However, it is likely that the source of some of Africa's instability is Western wealth, which is why the LNSG has for ten years taken the stance that western interests need to withdraw and stay out of Africa! ]

Genetics reveals humans radically different from chimps
As Sikela and co-workers explain in a paper published online 31 July in Genome Research, they compared the DNA from more than 24,000 known human genes to the DNA from chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, orangutans, gibbons, macaques, baboons, lemurs, and marmosets. Applying CGH, researchers take one stretch of DNA as a target--in this case, each human gene--and then check which complementary strands of DNA will stick to it. "We don't think anyone has looked this comprehensively at gene gain and loss over time," says Sikela.
All told, the researchers found more than 4000 genes that showed lineage-specific changes in copy number, with the numbers steadily increasing over evolutionary time. Humans, for example, only had 84
genes with increased copy numbers over those of our closet relatives. In contrast, lemurs, which have evolved for 60 million years, have 1180 genes with extra copies. "This is further evidence that genomic
differences between humans and other primates is far, far more complex than we originally imagined they might be," says Ajit Varki, who studies human/chimpanzee differences at the University of California, San Diego. "However, many of the differences may or may not be relevant for explaining 'humanness.'"
[ It's good we found hard science for explaining the obvious. Next we'll find out that differences between races, and then ethnic groups within them, are bigger than we've been told. The scientists who rarely get headlines are the ones who labor for truth, but the ones who get big financial reward are those who take a popular attitude and edit science to support it. Dishonest, but so is this time. ]

Day workers plagued by wage theft
Wage theft is widespread among mostly illegal immigrant workers, especially those who are recruited on street corners and work in the shadows of the American labor force. And that work-related exploitation appears to be growing along with the country's immigrant population.
In the nation's first comprehensive study of day laborers, called ''On the Corner," UCLA researchers interviewed 2,660 workers at 264 hiring sites in 20 states, including Texas and the District of Columbia. The 2006 study concluded that almost half of all day laborers experienced at least one instance of wage theft in the two months prior to being surveyed.

Immigrants bolster failing housing market
With rising purchasing power, the nation's growing number of foreign-born residents are keeping the bottom from falling out. And amid slow demand from an aging and slow-growing native population, immigrants are fueling predictions of a rebound.
Assuming Congress doesn't impose further restrictions, immigrants — both legal and illegal — and their native-born children are forecast to provide the bulk of coming years' growth in homebuying demand, nudging the market back up and aiding the broader economy.
[ Corporate interests demand we sell the nation. Now that we've sold it, it has lost value -- much like the stocks we sell. It will need to be sold again, for ever-lower values, until people come along again who can restore its value. ]

Aggression explains higher male wages
These differences, Babcock and other researchers have concluded, may partially explain the persistent gender gap in salaries, as well as other disparities in how people rise to the top of organizations. Women working full time earn about 77 percent of the salaries of men working full time, Babcock said. That figure does not take differing professions and educational levels into account, but when those and other factors are controlled for, women who work full time and have never taken time off to have children earn about 11 percent less than men with equivalent education and experience.
[ Our genius society's conclusion: well, make women more aggressive then! They can be just like men, and finally equal! ]

While democracy distracts, elites are in control
USER-GENERATED content — from Wikipedia to YouTube to open-source software — is generating waves of excitement. But the opening of innovation to wider numbers of people obscures another trend: many of the most popular new products, like the iPod, are dominated by a top-down, elite innovation model that doesn’t allow for customization.
To be sure, experts like Eric von Hippel, a management professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, argue that the proliferation of “user-generated” designs signals the “democratizing” of innovation. Armed with inexpensive digital tools and networks, ordinary people, he says, can band together to push their own innovations. They also can hijack existing technologies, taking them in directions only dimly envisioned by the original creators.

70% of Americans despise "immensely profitable" porn
A large 70%-majority of Americans reject the idea that "nude pictures and X-rated videos on the internet provide harmless entertainment for those who enjoy it"; only 27% agree; in general, opinions about pornography have become slightly more conservative over the past 20 years.

I also wanted to learn more about allegations made by David Colvin, the first secretary of the British Embassy in Paris, concerning the rather bizarre collaboration between the PFLP and the Shin Bet.

That could be because kids get their education in real-world settings as well as classrooms, says Marty Strange, policy director of the Rural School and Community Trust, an advocacy group. "Rural life is a little closer to nature," he said.

Russians concerned about self genocide
Demographers have provided dire statistics depicting a sharp decline in Russia’s population in the next few decades—and said that St. Petersburg, which loses an average of 70 people every day and has the lowest birth rate in the nation, could be hit hardest.
But “the real concern in Russia’s official circles is about an extinction of Russians as a race, rather than population decline in its traditional sense,” says Dubrovsky, adding that it was one of the factors that prompted President Vladimir Putin last year to adopt a special policy aimed at “calling ethnic Russians abroad back home, but restricting migration for other nationalities.”

Conservatives, unions, liberals demand immigration
US businesses are bracing for a possible major crackdown on illegal foreign workers, as the government seeks to give immigration authorities more power to punish companies hiring undocumented workers.

Immigrant advocacy groups, labor unions and a coalition of national business groups have criticized the proposal.

"Renewable energy" a rape of nature
Ramping up the use of renewable energy would lead to the "rape of nature", meaning nuclear power should be developed instead. So argues noted conservation biologist and climate change researcher Jesse Ausubel in an opinion piece based on his and others' research.
Ausubel says the key renewable energy sources, including sun, wind, and biomass, would all require vast amounts of land if developed up to large scale production ? unlike nuclear power. That land would be far better left alone, he says.
Renewables are "boutique fuels" says Ausubel, of Rockefeller University in New York, US. "They look attractive when they are quite small. But if we start producing renewable energy on a large scale, the fallout is going to be horrible."

City offers illegal immigrants IDs
Dozens of people lined up at City Hall on Tuesday for municipal identification cards, the first city-issued ID cards specifically designed to bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows and give them access to community services.

American schools freak out over loss of forced integration
Jefferson County School Board Chairman Joe Hardesty said the community was disappointed with the ruling but hopes to come up with a new way to protect diversity without mentioning race—perhaps by considering income or home addresses.
The fact that many U.S. schools remain starkly divided by race despite integration attempts is mostly the result of America’s starkly divided neighborhoods, said John Powell, executive director of the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in Ohio.
He said many blacks are shut out of better white neighborhoods by systemic housing discrimination and since U.S. school funding is based on local tax receipts, poor neighborhoods beget poor schools.

Modern people afraid of suffering because lives are meaningless
People in the pews want to know why, if God is loving, the innocent suffer – and they aren't always happy with the answers from the pulpit.
One factor, observers say, is a culture that no longer accepts suffering as a means to spiritual growth. Long gone are the Middle Ages, when the faithful typically viewed human trials as a divinely given process of perfection and a holy pathway to the next world.

Multiculturalism brings 75% increase in STDs -- in one year
The number of cases of syphilis infection in Sweden has risen by 75 percent in just one year, leading doctors to fear a local outbreak. The rise is due largely to a large increase in syphilis transmitted through gay sex among men in the Stockholm area. Chlamydia is also on the rise, new statistics show.
Chlamydia also rose dramatically in the first half of 2007. During the period, 22,610 cases were reported, an increase of 52 percent compared with the first half of last year. This was largely due to better diagnosis of a new variant of the disease discovered in Sweden in the autumn of 2006. Most transmission was heterosexual, while the largest rise was among the 15-19 age group, in which cases were up 72 percent.

Decaying England sends sex tourists to Baltic
Riga, with its beautifully preserved Old Town and the nearby sandy beaches of Jurmala, was a popular holiday spot for members of the Politburo during Soviet times. But the opening up of the country to the West, a process accelerated by the arrival of low-cost airlines, has spawned a very different kind of visitor and a proliferation of late-night pick-up bars and strip clubs.
Over the next month, Latvian girls will be asked to consider very carefully whether they should agree to have sex with a visitor in return for a drink. The campaign also suggests that "sex tourism" should more accurately be called "sex terrorism".

Americans increasingly wary of "diversity"
But research suggests that faith in diversity is being sorely tested. New studies confirm earlier evidence that, at least in the short- to mid-term, diversity weakens civic ties, fostering mutual mistrust and detachment. Beneath all the "happy talk" about diversity, many Americans harbor a deep ambivalence about where it will lead.
"Most everybody says, 'Yes, I'm in favor of diversity and I really like multiculturalism,' but if there's nothing to pull people together they get kind of nervous. And they really can't articulate where to draw the line," said Joseph Gerteis, a sociologist with the University of Minnesota's American Mosaic Project, which is probing how Americans think about questions of diversity and solidarity.
The Mosaic work is complemented by a massive national study by Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam, who reports that in the face of large-scale immigration, many Americans are overwhelmed by diversity. Putnam calls it "socio-psychological system overload."
With stunning regularity, he found Americans in more diverse locales tending to "hunker down and pull in like a turtle," suspicious not just of the new or different, but of everybody.
"They don't trust their neighbors or shop clerks, they are not as involved in the community," Putnam said. "The only two things that go up as diversity rises are protest marches and TV watching."

Wikipedia identifies Jewish financier of American revolution
He was the paymaster-general of the French military forces in the early years of the United States. It is asserted that more than $10,000 which he advanced was never repaid. He lent the young United States government about $600,000, and at his death about $400,000 of this amount had not been repaid. This sum was in addition to what he had lent to statesmen and others while performing public duties and trusts. Jacob Bader Marcus wrote in Early American Jewry that the sum owed to Solomon was $800,000. That amount in 1785 is equivalent in purchasing power to about US$22 million in 2005 dollars. [1]
During the American Revolution, Solomon went to France and raised an additional £3.5 million from the Sassoon and Rothschild banking houses and families. He spoke eight languages. When Solomon was in France, he passed himself off as a French diplomat.
Solomon came to New York in 1772 and joined the Sons of Liberty. He was a brilliant financier and one of George Washington's personal friends. In 1776 he was captured and sentenced to death by the British, but he used his knowledge of German to convince his Hessian jailer to let him out and desert to the American forces. He then escaped penniless to Philadelphia. It was during this period of incarceration where he contracted tuberculosis.

Climate change caused political chaos in ancient China
The wars and rebellions that punctuated China's ancient dynasties have
inspired epic books and films. Now it seems the course of the nation's
history may have been influenced by a rather more mundane force: the
weather.
China's archives track the lives of the country's clans over the last
millennium in voluminous detail. This inspired David Zhang at the
University of Hong Kong and his colleagues to scour the documents for
links between conflict and climate. They found that periods of cold
weather preceded 12 of the 15 major bouts of warfare they studied.
The link makes sense, they say, since cold weather would have prompted
food shortages in what was then an overwhelmingly agrarian society.
Peasant uprisings would follow, destabilising governments and inviting
invasions from neighbouring regions (Human Ecology, vol 35, p 403).

Guilt is social conditioning
New research suggests that although it feels bad, guilt plays a critical role in promoting prosocial behavior. That worried feeling in our gut often serves as the impetus for our stab at redemption. However, psychologists have trouble agreeing on the function of this complex emotion. On one hand, the punitive feeling of guilt may keep you from repeating the same transgressive behavior in the future, which psychologists call "withdrawal motivation." Conversely, some researchers view the function of guilt in a societal context, in that; it keeps people's behavior in line with the moral standards of their community.

West pimping Africa in pity party, ignoring African needs

Innocent liberal converted to anti-immigrant stance by experience
If John Stirrup’s name sounds familiar, that’s because he has been a county supervisor since 2004. He proposed a measure to take action against illegal immigrants, and the county board passed a scaled-down version of it last week. The resolution that supervisors approved empowers police to check into the immigration status of anyone who is arrested and directs county agencies to determine which services they can deny to illegal immigrants.
What compelled Stirrup to act was the sense that his new home is changing in ways disturbingly close to what he experienced in Arlington. “Not in my neighborhood,” he says, “but when I visit the 7-Eleven, it’s the same feel as we had in Arlington”—a sense of being a stranger in his own community.
In his resolution, Stirrup summed up that sense in one word: “lawlessness.” But with the county’s crime rate falling steadily in recent years, I asked what exactly he meant.
“Lawlessness was a good word, because it really describes what people are enduring here,” he says. “They wake up in the morning, and the house across the street has nine or 15 people living there instead of four. There are unregistered vehicles in the driveway and trash in the yard. We’ve seen a significant increase in rats.

Professor arrested for comparing races
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is considering whether or not to launch a criminal investigation into comments made by Professor Emeritus Tatu Vanhanen in an interview with Kuukausiliite, a monthly magazine supplement of Helsingin Sanomat.
In the interview Professor Vanhanen, a former Professor of Political Science at the University of Tampere, said that evolution has made Europeans and North Americans more intelligent than Africans. Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said on Wednesday that he regrets the controversy sparked by Tatu Vanhanen, who is his father.

Subsidized US farm exports create third-world poverty
By making it possible for American farmers to sell their crops abroad for considerably less than it costs to grow them, the [US government] farm bill helps determine the price of corn in Mexico and the price of cotton in Nigeria and therefore whether farmers in those places will survive or be forced off the land, to migrate to the cities -- or to the United States.
The flow of immigrants north from Mexico since NAFTA is inextricably linked to the flow of American corn in the opposite direction, a flood of subsidized grain that the Mexican government estimates has thrown two million Mexican farmers and other agricultural workers off the land since the mid-90s.

Easier lives make us lazier, weaker, stupider
For every Net wonder that increases our productivity, there's another one that saps it. And, oddly, sometimes it's those very productivity gains that do us in.
But it's not just Net-enabled distraction and multitasking that trips us up. There's also the paradox of ease. Online banking turned a big task into a small one -- which is great, except for the fact that small tasks are easier to put off. Perhaps the paradox of ease is at work in another Net mystery. Email, IM, Net telephony and a host of other services should let us communicate with family and old friends much more easily. But it can be startling to realize how long it's been since we last IM'ed that pal whose name is waiting patiently in our Buddy List, or that family member whose email address will be automatically filled in by Outlook.
How is it that the ability to communicate more can leave us communicating less? Blame the fact that keeping in touch is now a bite-size, anytime task.

Problems in computerizing Africa
Nigerian schoolchildren who received laptops from a U.S. aid organization have used them to explore pornographic sites on the Internet, the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported Thursday.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070720/od_nm/nigeria_pornography_dc#hitler_rules
Terracom's tale is more than a story about a business dispute in Rwanda. It is also emblematic of what can happen when good intentions run into the technical, political and business realities of Africa.
Attempts to bring affordable high-speed Internet service to the masses have made little headway on the continent. Less than 4 percent of Africa's population is connected to the Web; most subscribers are in North African countries and the republic of South Africa.
A lack of infrastructure is the biggest problem. In many countries, communications networks were destroyed during years of civil conflict, and continuing political instability deters governments or companies from investing in new systems. E-mail messages and phone calls sent from some African countries have to be routed through Britain, or even the United States, increasing expenses and delivery times. About 75 percent of African Internet traffic is routed this way and costs African countries billions of extra dollars each year that they would not incur if their infrastructure was up to speed.

License plate monitor can scan a street in seconds
New York's Long Beach Police Department is among a growing number of law enforcement agencies using the roof-mounted license-plate reader, the Mobile Plate Hunter.
Bleeps and alarms are emitted as the device's two infrared cameras scan license plates at a rate of 15 to 25 a second, said North Carolina-based manufacturer Remington Elsag.
Those plate numbers are sent to a database in the police car trunk and compared with a digital list of vehicles wanted for crimes, traffic violations, reported stolen cars and vehicles linked to alerts for kidnapped children, authorities said.
The infrared cameras, which work like supermarket scanners, can record the plates of moving or stopped cars.

[ American labor has had this problem for years.

Out of Africa theory still being debated
However, John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin-Madison says the paper is "mistaken." A major flaw is that the current research is largely based on skull variability. "You can't find the origin of people by measuring the variability of their skulls," Hawks told LiveScience.
Differences in skull features are related to genetics, and genetic variation depends on how much mixing occurs with other populations. "The main problem with the paper is that it takes some assumptions from genetics papers of 10 to 15 years ago that we now know are wrong," Hawks said.
[ We've been saying something similar for years: it's impossible to distinguish mixture from evolution when looking back through the genetic log, although corroborative factors can help. However, doesn't all of this miss the point? We've evolved in different ways since then and it's essential we preserve and understand those. This, like most modern arguments, is symbolic and not literal: we want to feel symbolic unity if we all came from Africa, nevermind those 1.6 million intervening years, or we want to feel disunity and a different origin from Africans.

H1-B shortage is fake; plenty of domestic IT workers exist
Countering claims that the United States is facing a critical shortage of
skilled technologists, former IT professionals like Lovelace and Adler point to
depressed wages and their inability to score even preliminary interviews as
evidence that the market is already flooded. Yet at the same time, technology
companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, asserting that their ability
to function at full capacity is being hampered by the lack of qualified
technologists, are furiously pressing Congress to allow more temporary
high-tech workers into the country by raising the cap on how many H-1B
temporary foreign worker visas are issued. Indeed, on the first day in April
2007 that H-1B petitions could be filed, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) was overwhelmed with more than 150,000 petitions from
employers hoping to snag some of the 65,000 general visas available for fiscal
2008.

Americans live in fear of globalist economy
While there may some truth in this, it's a brand of class consciousness that
hasn't exactly connected with voters in the past (though John Edwards is taking
it out for a spin once again). As Jim Kessler, vice president for policy at the
two-year-old think-tank Third Way, put it: From Walter Mondale and Michael
Dukakis to Al Gore and John Kerry, Democrats "not only lost, but they lost to
the middle class." Last year, in the 2006 congressional elections, Democrats
won among middle-income voters for the first time since 1990.
As Third Way documents in its reports, the American middle class isn't really
shrinking, so much as it is anxious. The median household income for workers
aged 25 to 60 is nearly $62,000. If both spouses work, it's close to $82,000.
As Kessler notes: "That is not an extravagant living. But it is not drowning.
And it is not one step away from losing your home." The same Third Way report
noted: "The bottom line is that the middle class is shrinking not because the
bottom is dropping out; it is because more people are better off."
So why the jitters?
Lake hit on it, I believe, with this comment: "There have been times in our
history when the American dream was rooted in opportunity, and there have been
times in our history where the dream was rooted in security. This is a time,
and has been for a couple for years now, where the dream is rooted in
security."
There's not a lot of security in a fast-paced global economy where workers get
ahead by chasing opportunities (not obediently following office rules), by
constantly reinventing their careers (not relying on seniority), by
self-investing their savings (not counting on company pensions).
[ It's time for the average person to admit they have no capacity for politics and should entrust it to real professionals. Your politicians got you to cry with them over civil rights, abortion, drugs, war, pedophilia and other issues that while they may be important, are unrelated to the central issue: in what direction is the country going, and is it a direction we want? So they distracted you, and you dutifully tromped off to vote each time, and somehow now you're fodder for vast globalist (multi-national) corporations who are just using you to profit. Admit you've failed because your approach failed. They get you and hoodwink you every time, and you're too proud to admit you're out of your league, which just makes them stronger. Hint: it's not going to end until you end it, and stop trying to use your "freedom" to win against them. They use "freedom" to control you and so far, they're winning and you haven't won a single point. Haha! ]

Aid to poor countries does not help them at all
Aid to poor countries has little effect on economic growth, and policies that rely on such claims should be reexamined, two former International Monetary Fund economists wrote in a paper released this
month.
"There is a moral imperative to this question: it is a travesty for so many countries to remain poor if a relatively small transfer of resources from rich countries could set them on the path to growth."
But if there is no clear evidence that aid boosts growth, then handing out more money makes little sense, they said.
[ Their moral imperative is disconnected from the impolite but pragmatic reality: these countries are poor for a reason. Either they failed from a higher state, or never got off the ground, but either way, they're disorganized and their people are often dumber than those of other nations.

They told him he was stealing South African land, taking South African money. They called him "kuwara" — n****r. "But they were black," says Abdi. "They were African, like me."
As the richest nation in a blighted continent, South Africa is a magnet for immigrants. And, as in Western Europe and the U.S., the more foreigners arrive, the greater the hostility to their presence. South Africans commonly blame Zimbabweans who fled their country's implosion — there are between 1 and 2 million here — for a recent surge in crime. Nigerians escaping violence and corruption are viewed as a nation of drug dealers. They, and Congolese, Angolans, Rwandans and Burundians, have been among the victims of deadly bias attacks in recent years. Black poverty in South Africa may be fueling resentment against immigrants: Unemployment levels run close to 30%, and at more than 50% for people aged 15-24, according to a 2006 survey. With so few jobs to go around, outsiders seeking opportunities find little welcome in disadvantaged communities.

A history of non-white immigration
“When a lot of people from one ethnic group concentrate together, you always see the same phenomenon everywhere: they become marginalised, with high unemployment and crime rates,” Zenou said.

Altruism and spite are the same emotion
And if a chimp's lack of empathy leaves it unable to feel spite, it may
also fail to behave altruistically, says behavioural ecologist Rufus
Johnstone of the University of Cambridge in the UK. "There have been
experiments that gave chimps the chance to be nice to another at no cost
to themselves, but they weren't interested. They didn't have a human
propensity to be nice," he says.
"This is where things get tricky," admits Jensen. "Other papers coming out
of our research group show chimps are altruistic. One interpretation is
that one set of researchers isn't doing their job properly, but we don't
like that one! Maybe altruistic tendencies operate in a narrow range in
chimps, and a broader range in humans."
[ Or the obvious is true: altruism is a form of spite...
It seems that the human-monkey is programmed to punish those who are more "fortunate", which often has nothing to do with luck but vigorous work and good potential. But this explains our society's frequent revolutions which make things worse for the next seven centuries... ]

Multiculturalism creates total paranoia

“New evidence from the U.S. suggests that in ethnically diverse neighborhoods residents of all races tend to ‘hunker down,’” Putnam concluded. “Trust (even of one’s own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer.” Most studies, the professor recounts, show “the more we are brought into physical proximity with people of another race or ethnic background, the more we stick to ‘our own’ and the less we trust the ‘other.’”

Globalism fails as food imports turn out to be toxic

Political peak oil a reality, meaning war for oil
The resurgence of resource nationalism bears a good bit of the responsibility for the glum oil supply projections-what I've previously called "political peak oil." Seventy-seven percent of world oil reserves are owned by national oil companies. Unfortunately, national oil companies are located in technologically backward countries without access to world-class production expertise and adequate supplies of capital. As the IEA diplomatically puts it, "Often political and social spending needs grow to the point where oil exploration and development investment is compromised, in turn reducing oil and gas exports." And this is happening. Major oil producers such as Venezuela, Mexico, Russia, and Iran are using oil revenues to bribe their people and not investing enough to maintain future oil production.

Social Darwinism threatens development of better people
Greg Clark's broadly Darwinian explanation for the Industrial Revolution,
A Farewell to Alms, should be hitting bookstores in the next few weeks. As
previously mentioned, Clark argues that in pre-Industrial Britain, the
"survival of the richest" was the norm, and so today's Brits are largely
the descendants of past elites. He says this process created a population
that was more patient and better at abstract thought (he doesn't use the
term "intelligence"). Clark has just enough data backing up his story to
spur others to do more and better tests.
Some thoughts:
1) Richness and moderate (110-135 IQ) intelligence correlate: the less
gifted are too incompetent to gain fortunes, and more intelligent don't
care for money--or the social boons money can buy. Many noble bloodlines
are known to have gone bankrupt, because they simply were poor businessmen.
2) Culture and science advance when a group of smart people gather and
develop.
a) This can happen by strong, eugenic culture which unites people to work
under common cause.
b) The reasons why some civilizations advance enourmously for a short
period before flaring out: the geniouses are "assisted" by money men who
exploit their work, overthrow the nobles by popularity, and eventually
cause the fall of nation.

Demand for energy outpacing supply
World oil and gas supplies from conventional sources are unlikely to keep up with rising global demand over the next 25 years, the U.S. petroleum industry says in a draft report of a study commissioned by the government.
In the draft report, oil-industry leaders acknowledge the world will need to develop all the supplemental sources of energy it can -- ranging from biofuels to nuclear power to oil extracted by unconventional means from the oil sands of Canada -- to meet soaring demand. The surge in demand is expected to arise from rapid economic growth in such fast-developing countries as China and India, as well as mounting consumption in the U.S., the world's biggest energy market.

Modesty returns as a grassroots value
Consider the following style tips for girls: skirts and dresses should fall no more than four fingers above the knee. No tank tops without a sweater or jacket over them. Choose a bra that has a little padding to help disguise when you are cold. These fashion hints may sound like the prim mandates of a 1950s "health" film. But they are from the Web site of Pure Fashion, a modeling and etiquette program for teen girls whose goal is "to show the public it is possible to be cute, stylish and modest."

American liberals went paranoid after Kennedy death
But as James Piereson shows in "Camelot and the Cultural Revolution," myth and superstition were the essence of the liberal response to John F. Kennedy's assassination in November 1963. It was the liberals who threw evidence and reason to the winds, inheriting the crippling effects of their own bad judgment.
In the minds of liberals, then, Kennedy's killer should have been a right-wing fanatic. But he wasn't. Oswald was a man of the hard left. He had defected to the Soviet Union. When he found that country too bureaucratic, he returned to America and began proselytizing for Fidel Castro and his supposedly new brand of the third-world revolution. Nor was Oswald an irrational, discontented Dostoevskian loner, as some depicted him. He was in fact a joiner of movements and something of a self-defined intellectual who thought that his mixture of Marxism and anarchism made him smarter and more sophisticated than his frivolous peers.
Jackie Kennedy was distraught at the nature of Oswald's political identity. Her husband, she said, "didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. . . . It had to be some silly little communist. It even robs his death of meaning." But not for long. As Mr. Piereson explains, Jackie carefully planned JFK's funeral to resemble that of Abraham Lincoln. The staging was such a success that, for many, Kennedy came to be seen as a martyr to civil rights. The Kennedy legend began to take hold.

Jews today represent only two out of every 1,000 people in the world, compared to a ratio of 3.5 to 1,000 in 1970, 4.7 to 1,000 in 1945, and 7.5 to 1,000 in 1938.
[ The same thing that's killing us is killing them: modern society and the bad values of multiculturalism, selfishness and surface materialism that it brings. They could be our allies in this fight, if people would just shut up for a minute and realize that Hitler's point was that Jewish and Caucasian values cannot coexist in the same culture... a fancy way of saying that multiculturalism doesn't work. ]

"Racist" book pulled from shelves
A British chain of bookstores, Borders, said Wednesday it had yanked copies of a Tintin book from its children's sections after a race watchdog complained it was racist -- but would continue to sell it on adults' shelves.
The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) said it "beggared belief" that Borders should sell "Tintin in the Congo", claiming it contained potentially highly offensive material.
"This book contains imagery and words of hideous racial prejudice, where the 'savage natives' look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles," a spokeswoman said.
[ Multiculturalism doesn't work. ]

Sales of a Tintin comic book have rocketed since the Commission for Racial Equality claimed it was racist, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Sales of "Tintin in the Congo" have shot up by 3,800 percent after the CRE watchdog claimed it contained potentially highly offensive material, said The Daily Telegraph.

Whatever AIPAC Wants, AIPAC Gets
In November, the American electorate repudiated Bush's
Iraq Debacle and established Democratic majorities
in both the House and Senate promising to bring this
"flawed policy wrapped in illusion" to a decisive end.
In the end, though,
37 Democratic senators capitulated and gratuitously gave
the President his $100 billion no-strings- attached blank check.
Curiously, all of the Traitor Democrats were
huge career recipients of funds from the Israeli lobby.
If we took 10 Democratic apostates and compared them
to ten Democrats who stood by the voters,
pro-Israeli PAC contributions were "ten times"
greater for the turncoats than those who stayed
with their constituencies ($322,000 versus $34,000 on average).
To be specific:
Carl Levin, outspoken critic of the war and, we thought,
a loyal supporter of the new regime to end it, defected and
blithely turned his back on his Michigan support base.
Despite his strident anti-war rhetoric, the Grand Rapids
Independent reports Levin has supported Bush all the way
"consistently funding the war and not introducing
any meaningful legislation to bring it closer to an end."
Practically unknown to his constituents, Levin is one of
the largest beneficiaries of Pro-Israeli PAC funds
collecting $600,000 in career contributions
according to the Washington Report on Mideast Affairs.
Barbara Boxer, Denis Kucinich, and Earl Blaumenauer,
all opponents of the war, collectively got $73,000,
but turncoat-democrats, Dan Durbin, Max Baucus, and
Frank Lautenberg scooped up in excess of a Million $$

If you look
at the same top 50 most-cited who entered law teaching since 1992, you
also see that (by my rough count, and judging by likely ethnicity, not by
religiosity) 19 are Jews [38%], a group that makes up 2% of the full-time
working population. Part of this is the wild overrepresentation of Jews
generally among the legal professoriate, a number that itself is hard to
explain - Jim Lindgren's tentative survey from several years ago reported
that 26% of law professors at top 100 law schools were Jews - but the
numbers exceed even that.
Another 12 are Asians (meaning East or South Asians), a group that makes
up 4% of the full-time working population. If you separate out South
Asians (since in many ways it's just zany to lump Indians together with
Chinese, or for that matter to lump together Chinese, Koreans, and
Japanese), you'll find that 5 of the top 50 are South Asians, though South
Asians make up 2/3 of 1% of the population. I don't recall precisely what
fraction of the legal academy is Asian, but my recollection is that the
fraction is no more than 5%, and thus far less than the 24% (or 10% for
South Asians).

Without guidance, most people become whores
The liberal revolution of the 1970s is now accepted even by most modernising conservatives. It has allowed transgressive identities such as 'being gay' to be expressed as integral to persons on their own terms. It ended an atmosphere of repression, prejudice and stereotyping. The price, however, was that anyone with (say) gay inclinations came under increasing pressure to make a choice between being gay, being not gay or choosing some third identity (such as bisexual). A whole range of new sexual identities emerged in a constant attempt to 'fix' complexity.
Similar processes of defining identity took place in other areas of formerly
forbidden discourse . in alternative religion, in gender politics and in
'race'. But, in the real world of ordinary folk, few people actually belong to
any fixed single category for very long. So, this was only relative
liberation, of the dominant part of a person at the expense of the whole
person, freeing individuals only on condition that they chose a category of
their own instead of a category chosen by society.
What Lynn implies in her own experience of some rather innocent cyber-sex is
that people, taken out of their normal social context and left free to be
themselves with minimal risk, are immensely fluid and have complex sexual
drives and multiple identities. If allowed to do so, people will shift their
behavior quite radically in different contexts. Research on 'evil'
increasingly indicates that context is vitally important in determining when a
person will do an 'evil' act in the real world.
[ Not all people follow the whore model, but what they're saying here is that without a social context, people become purely selfish and dramatic, and act without any clear goal for the sake of drawing attention to themselves. So then you have a society of three hundred million different kinds of "unique" that can't unite to save themselves, and the barbarians at the gates have an easy time of it. ]

Organic farming more efficient, healthier and tastier
Organic farming can yield up to three times as much food as conventional farming on the same amount of land -- according to new findings which refute the long-standing assumption that organic farming methods cannot produce enough food to feed the global population.

levels on average 79 percent higher than conventionally grown tomatoes and for
the second flavonoid at levels 97 percent higher.

such as a lack of nitrogen in the soil.

EU could be totalitarian dictatorship
Rodney Atkinson, author of three books on the subject of Fascist Europe Rising (his most recent), led the charge, sounded the alarm, from a strictly secular point of view that interestingly matched what theologian Herbert W. Armstrong was warning about from a purely biblical perspective: the revival of the unholy Roman Empire is well underway and most remain oblivious to its inherent dangers.
In Abolish The European Union, Robert Locke considers "The EU is a mortal threat to the civil liberties of those who live under it.... The EU is quite plausibly the nucleus of an aspiring soft-totalitarian world state; it is in fact far more likely to fulfill this role than the justly-despised UN. I apologize if this sounds alarmist, but history clearly teaches us to think ahead to the logical implications of things that are just beginning... there are signs that Europe is awakening to the monster in its midst."
Christopher Booker and Richard North, co-authors of The Great Deception: Can the European Union Survive? believe the EU is destined to fail and would "leave a terrible devastation behind it, a wasteland from which it would take many years for the peoples of Europe to emerge" and conclude: "... the project Monnet had set on its way was a vast, ramshackle, self-deluding monster: partly suffocating in its own bureaucracy; partly a corrupt racket, providing endless opportunities for individuals and collectives to outwit and exploit their fellow men; partly a mighty engine for promoting the national interests of those countries who knew how to 'work the system'... The one thing above all the project could never be, because by definition it had never been intended to be, was in the remotest sense democratic."
[ The nanny state exists to serve corporate multinationals, who want to make us a grey race who are perfect consumers and workers: cultureless, mindless, soulless.

French cosmetics firm fined for wanting French salespeople
The French cosmetics company, Garnier, and Swiss employment agency Adecco have been found guilty of carrying out a racist recruitment campaign in 2000.

The Paris Appeal Court found that Adecco had complied with what prosecutors said were coded instructions from Garnier to find only young, white women for its counters in the capital.

Research suggests, however, that faith in diversity is being sorely tested.

94% of murdered blacks are killed by blacks
St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington views black-on-black crime as a scourge ripping apart his community. Since racial breakdowns of crime statistics are hard to come by in Minnesota, Harrington has been forced to do a lot of digging.
He determined that in 2006, 70 percent of all aggravated assaults in St. Paul, the most violent crimes on the books, were committed against African-Americans. Given the proportion of blacks in the local population, Harrington was shocked.
“In the city where ten percent of the [population] is black, how can you have 70 percent of your victims of this particular crime, which is one of the most horrendous crimes you can do, how can that be so out of whack?” he asks.

Illegals aren't deported for crimes
Fewer than half the foreigners convicted of crimes in the U.S. -- most of whom are in the country illegally -- are deported after serving their sentences, according to the Homeland Security Department's inspector general.
Cases like Lopez's point up holes in the nation's overwhelmed immigration system, said Representative David Price, a North Carolina Democrat who heads a panel overseeing Homeland Security Department funding. ``There's no convincing case for putting anything higher on the priority list in terms of deportation than persons who've committed crimes,'' Price said.

• The Colosseum in Rome

Traditional, conservative communities volunteer more
Midwesterners are more likely to volunteer their time than are people elsewhere in the United States, according to a government study being released Monday. The highest rates were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, where more than four in 10 adults volunteered.

Soviet-style nanny state allowed to spy on citizens
Federal agents do not need a search warrant to monitor a suspect's computer use and determine the e-mail addresses and Web pages the suspect is contacting, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.

By the end of this year, police officials say, more than 100 cameras will have begun monitoring cars moving through Lower Manhattan, the beginning phase of a London-style surveillance system that would be the first in the United States.
If the program is fully financed, it will include not only license plate readers but also 3,000 public and private security cameras below Canal Street, as well as a center staffed by the police and private security officers, and movable roadblocks.

Human habitations awash in organic haze
A new study shows that invisible, reactive gases hovering over Earth's surface, not direct emissions of particulates, form the bulk of organic haze in both urban and rural areas around the world. Aerosols formed chemically in the air account for about two-thirds of the total organic haze in urban areas and more than 90 percent of organic haze in rural areas.

Racism isn't the culprit in USA health care woes

A study of more than 2,200 women shows that African-Americans have more advanced breast cancer at the time of diagnosis than Caucasians. African-American women tend to have breast cancer tumor types that are more aggressive and have poorer prognoses. The findings are in line with other recent studies, and provide more evidence of the continuing need for early breast cancer screening for African-American women and the development of individual treatment strategies.

Life expectancy averages are determined by a multitude of factors such as ethnicity, culture, and crime rates. Asians live longer than whites. Whites live longer than blacks. Canada has more Asians than blacks. Infant mortality rates are likewise determined by a host of factors having nothing to do with our health care system. The chief cause of infant mortality is very low birth weight babies. The U.S., for reasons having to do with ethnicity and culture, has more low birth weight babies than Canada and other OECD countries.

Japanese rediscover valor of kamikazes
But for an increasingly bold cadre of conservatives, kamikazes symbolize something else: just the kind of guts and commitment that Japanese youth need today.
Long a synonym for the waste of war, the suicidal flyers are now being glorified in a film written by Tokyo's governor, Shintaro Ishihara, a well-known nationalist and co-author of the 1989 book "The Japan that Can Say No." And a museum about the kamikazes in the southern town of Chiran, near the airstrip where Uchida and others took off, gets more than 500,000 visitors a year.

Altruism is fake
The results were showing that when the volunteers placed the interests of others before their own, the generosity activated a primitive part of the brain that usually lights up in response to food or sex. Altruism, the experiment suggested, was not a superior moral faculty that suppresses basic selfish urges but rather was basic to the brain, hard-wired and pleasurable.
The research enterprise has been viewed with interest by philosophers and theologians, but already some worry that it raises troubling questions. Reducing morality and immorality to brain chemistry -- rather than free will -- might diminish the importance of personal responsibility. Even more important, some wonder whether the very idea of morality is somehow degraded if it turns out to be just another evolutionary tool that nature uses to help species survive and propagate.
[ Morality and altruism are fake emotions that make you feel more powerful for helping out others. If you're honest, you recognize this, and don't engage in them more than you have to. Otherwise, you get caught up in them because you're tripping out on a brain drug and it feels too good to stop. ]

Politician: Don't mention terrorists are Muslims
The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase “war on terror” is to be dropped.
The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more “consensual” tone than existed under Tony Blair.
[ In fact, don't mention reality at all, if it conflicts with our view of how we should pity everyone but our self-hating selves. Don't mention the rape if the rapist was black, and don't mention the terror if the terrorist was Muslim. Don't mention death if you're alive. Wait, what? ]

Islamic groups suppress pornography
The Iraqi Aid Association (IAA), a Baghdad-based non-governmental organisation working with displacement, children and youth issues, says dozens of Iraqis have been killed after using the internet to access erotic sites.
Fatah Ahmed, spokesperson for the IAA, said: "We have received information from many sources that militants are operating spies inside internet cafes just to find out who is browsing sites they have deemed offensive to Islam."
Ahmed said most of the killings or abductions happen directly after the victims leave the internet cafes.

Self-esteem booster makes praise cheap, kids worthless
Fred Rogers, the late TV icon, told several generations of children that they were "special" just for being whoever they were. He meant well, and he was a sterling role model in many ways. But what often got lost in his self-esteem-building patter was the idea that being special comes from working hard and having high expectations for yourself.
Now Mr. Rogers, like Dr. Spock before him, has been targeted for re-evaluation. And he's not the only one. As educators and researchers struggle to define the new parameters of parenting, circa 2007, some are revisiting the language of child ego-boosting. What are the downsides of telling kids they're special? Is it a mistake to have children call us by our first names? When we focus all conversations on our children's lives, are we denying them the insights found when adults talk about adult things?
Some are calling for a recalibration of the mind-sets and catch-phrases that have taken hold in recent decades.
[ Liberalism is about good intentions and poor methodology, because liberals think of the individual and not in a historical context. That they'd screw up another generation is not surprising. ]

Americans demand more parasites
Support for a government safety net for the poor is at its highest point in many years -- roughly seven-in- ten (69%) now believe the government has a responsibility "to take care of people who can’t take care of themselves" -- up from 61% in 2002. The number of Americans saying that the government should guarantee "every citizen enough to eat and a place to sleep" has increased by a similar margin over the past five years (from 63% to 69%); agreement with this statement is the highest it has been since 1991.
[ Sounds nice, in theory, until you realize that you're inviting every dysfunctional person to come live on your dime. More likely, government should take care of any functional person who has fallen on hard times, and kick out the leeches, perverts, parasites, chronic welfare cases, criminals and shysters. ]

National media downplays black-on-white crime
And the news story of the black guy suspected of killing two white people in Baltimore last year and who was stupid enough to send a text message about it still hasn’t made national news. And it should have.
Prosecutors dropped the charges because they said the police search of the suspect’s text messages was illegal. You don’t have to be a white supremacist to know how the national media would have reported that one had the races of the victims and the suspect been reversed.
[ This is an intelligent black commentator saying what many whites have known for some time. Blacks and whites share a common enemy: multiculturalism, aka globalism.

When Congress fails, states bust employers of illegals
Arizona leads the nation in population growth. More illegal immigrants cross its
border than any other in the United States. Now, in an apparent backlash to
those trends, the state is leading the charge to halt illegal immigration by
cracking down on employers.
Its new law effectively sets up a two-strikes penalty. A business employing an
illegal immigrant would have its business license suspended temporarily. A
second offense would mean a permanent revocation of that license.
