Earlier by Edward Dutton: “Brave And Kind”—Remembering Richard Lynn

Finally ending the Orwellian situation where Wikipedia couldn’t acknowledge evolutionary psychologist Richard Lynn’s passing because it won’t link to Politically Incorrect sources like VDARE.com or American Renaissance, a Main Stream Media outlet has published an obituary, more than a month after he died [Richard Lynn, evolutionary psychologist who declared his belief in the benefits of eugenics—obituary, The Telegraph, August 31, 2023]. But as Danish independent researcher Emil Kirkegaard, who worked with Lynn, has pointed out, the British newspaper’s send-off was quite an astonishing piece.

It's almost Straussian. "Look here's this guy, Richard, he's dead. His research was bad bad bad according to the people who gave us the replication crisis. Also here's literally 4 of his book covers, for work you shouldn't be reading. ;)"

— Emil O W Kirkegaard (@KirkegaardEmil) September 5, 2023

It’s as if the anonymous writer wants the readers to realize that Lynn was logically correct, and wants them to read his research themselves. However, he also understands that he must disguise this desire as a Politically Acceptable condemnation of Lynn, though it is a condemnation that the intelligent reader—or the reader “in the know”—will be able to “see through.”

Kirkegaard’s term “Straussian” refers to German political philosopher Leo Strauss (1899-1973), who taught political philosophy at the University of Chicago. Strauss argued that great thinkers are socially and politically pressured not to openly express radical and original ideas. Accordingly, as one commentator puts it, “what they really think is true is found between the lines and often contradicts what they seem to say in the actual lines” [What is Straussianism (According to Strauss)?, by Peter Augustine Lawler, Society, 2011].

Thus, The Telegraph’s obituary begins with Lynn’s own words:

“Evolutionary progress means the extinction of the less competent,” he said. “To think otherwise is mere sentimentality.”

For all but the most emotional Leftist, the controversial nature of such a view, and that a senior academic held it, is spine-tingling clickbait.

The first paragraph went on to emphasize just what a notorious scientist Lynn was:

[H]is belief in the value of genetic selection to improve the quality of the human population, led to his being described as “one of the most unapologetic and raw ‘scientific’ racists operating today” and as an “unapologetic eugenicist.” [Both descriptions courtesy of the SPLC]

Sunday’s astonishing news that Joe Biden may be lagging Donald Trump in 2024 election by as much as ten percentage points [Post-ABC poll: Biden faces criticism on economy, immigration and age, Washington Post, September 24, 2023] (when has Trump ever been ahead in polls?) is provoking understandable panic and denial in the Leftist media [Poll showing Trump up 10 points over Biden for 2024 election criticized, by Maya Yang, Guardian, September 24, 2023]. But is it a surprise? More illegal aliens than ever before are crossing over. The Border Patrol doesn’t have enough detention space and immediately releases them. “Sanctuary Cities” can no longer handle the new arrivals and beg Biden to do something. And he has: in little-reported September 21 remarks to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Gala, he said in effect that rape is inevitable and America should lie back and enjoy it.

-Expand legal pathways for citizenship
-Increase the total number of refugees
-Send money to help sanctuary cities

Specifically, he plans to issue work permits to nearly 500,000 Venezuelan illegals—a de facto Amnesty that will encourage more to come. But it’s in keeping with Biden’s general response to the crisis. The president always figures out new ways to legalize illegals. This is why he must be impeached.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban-Jewish immigrant and unindicted visa fraudster, announced Temporary Protected Status to 470,000 Venezuelan “asylum seekers” for 18 months “based on Venezuela’s increased instability and lack of safety due to the enduring humanitarian, security, political, and environmental conditions” [Secretary Mayorkas Announces Extension and Redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status, DHS.gov, September 20, 2023]. They also get work permits. Technically, because the illegals are applying for asylum, it’s not an Amnesty. But that’s a distinction without a difference. Illegals file bogus asylum claims to get their foot in the door, and the Regime is only too happy to oblige.

The Regime will also expedite work-permit applications for Venezuelan illegals who entered the county via U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s One Mobile app or through the parole program [Biden Administration to Offer Work Permits to Roughly 470,000 Venezuelan Migrants, by Michelle Hackman, Wall Street Journal, September 20, 2023].

The president’s underlings didn’t come up with this idea on their own. Blue City mayors

Earlier: The ATLANTIC Wants To Cancel Richard Hanania’s THE ORIGINS OF WOKE

The Race Denialists are at it again. Black academic Tyler Austin Harper [Email him] (right) has attacked Richard Hanania’s new book The Origins of Woke as an “intellectual and moral failure,” in part because it has highlighted black-white differences in IQ [An Intellectual and a Moral Failure, The Atlantic, September 18, 2023]. It was the elite Leftist magazine’s second attack on Hanania: staff writer Adam Serwer (black and Jewish) targeted him three days earlier in a broadside against The Young Conservatives Trying to Make Eugenics Respectable Again. But as VDARE.com’s Steve Sailer has observed, the black-white IQ gap is probably “the best documented finding in U.S. social science.”

Now a new study from A Genetic Hypothesis for American Race/Ethnic Differences in Mean g [Mankind Quarterly, June 2023] proves again that it really matters.

The term “g” stands for “general intelligence,” which underlies verbal, spatial and mathematical intelligence. It explains why people who score highly in one kind of intelligence test usually score highly on the others. It is strongly genetic. 

The study was published in the “controversial” Mankind Quarterly—likely, in part, because the better-known journals have been hijacked by Woke activists pretending to be scholars.

Drawing upon the “Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study,” which sampled more than 10,000 Americans, the authors carefully examined the relationship between self/parental-identified race or ethnicity (called SIRE in the jargon) and key variables. These included the intelligence test administered as part of cognitive study. The authors also explored race differences in many other brain-related measures.

[Adapted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively on VDARE.com]

There are currently three world-wide waves of illegal immigration roaring up the beach:

• The wave coming north and west from Africa and the Middle East, across the Mediterranean to the European Union.
• The smaller, but still dramatic wave, of illegals coming across the English Channel from the EU into the UK (which is no longer in the EU—remember Brexit?).
• The wave roaring up through Central America to our southern border and across the banks (= beach) of the Rio Grande.

The three waves involve different governments with different approaches.

• That first wave, the one crashing on the EU, is of course the concern of the EU government.

The EU government, however, is a flimsy and ineffectual thing, always being buffeted here and there by the politics of the member states; so this is politically the most complicated of the three waves.

• Responsibility for dealing with the second, smaller wave—the one heading north across the English Channel—falls on the UK government.
• And the third wave, the one right now drowning our southern border, is all ours!

So how are these governmental authorities—the EU and its member states, the U.K., and the USA—how are they dealing with these three great waves of people from latrine-pit countries seeking security and prosperity for themselves in our advanced Liberal Democracies?

They’re doing badly—really badly.

Why? Is there a common factor? Is there some one thing in the public life of Germany, France, Italy, the U.K., and the USA that’s preventing them from coping with the great waves?

I think I can name at least two, maybe three common factors.

• One: the dogma of rights, as in ”Civil Rights” and ”Human Rights.” 

See below.

• Two: guilt.

Haitians and Africans Attack Mexican Refugee Office

The Great Replacement illegal-alien invaders that Mexico is permitting to traverse the country to the U.S. border are causing richly deserved trouble for Mexican officials. The latest: Haitians and Africans are increasingly violent and stormed into a refugee office. Maybe Mexico shouldn’t have stopped trying to control the flow of illegals the minute POTUS 45 Donald Trump left office.

From Milenio, about an uprising of the blacks in Tapachula, a city in Chiapas state on the border with Guatemala. Tapachula is a major invasion route:

In Tapachula, Chiapas, dozens of migrants from Haiti and African countries violently burst into the offices of the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (Comar) with the demand that they be attended to immediately.

From very early, some 3,000 migrants of various nationalities went to the installations of Comar to wait to be attended in their paperwork. Nevertheless, a group of Africans and Haitians began to push against municipal police officers and National Guard soldiers who were guarding the installation.

Later they broke the security fence and entered violently in a stampede. Various migrants, including women and minors fell to the ground, were trampled by a group of persons who passed over them. It is reported that at least 10 migrants were wounded after the incident.

Migrantes irrumpen en las oficinas de Comar en Tapachula; reportan 10 lesionados (“Migrants Burst Into Comar Offices in Tapachula; 10 Reported Injured”), by Julio Navarro Cardenas, Milenio, September 18, 2023 (Graphic video included)

So the invaders weren’t served as quickly as they wanted, and conceived the brilliant strategy to blitz the refugee bureaucracy. No worries, though. Diversity is Mexico’s strength!

A hopeful report from the Associated Press’ Edgar Clemente laughably claimed that “no injuries were reported” [Migrants burst into southern Mexico asylum office demanding papers, September 18, 2023].

I’ll go with Milenio reporter Cardenas on this one.

“After this action, Comar temporarily suspended service to the foreigners until further notice,” he wrote.

Commenter Alejandro Limas Ordaz had this to say:

That’s why nobody wants these persons in their countries. They just bring lack of education, violent behavior, crime, etc. It’s enough to just see Europe.

 Undeterred, the mob returned the next day:

In Tapachula, Chiapas, thousands of migrants returned to the offices of the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (Comar) to obtain a temporary stay permit.

”Migrantes regresan a oficinas de Comar en Tapachula; buscan permiso de estancia temporal (“Migrants return to Comar offices in Tapachula; they seek a temporary stay permit”), by Julio Navarro Cardenas, Milenio, September 19, 2023

The permit would allow them to stay in Tapachula without restrictions, and in some cases, to continue their refugee application. They can also obtain permanent residence or a migratory permit to travel to the United States, their true destination. Thousands are waiting:

Some three thousand migrants, including Haitians,
