Climate change

The raw data has been dumped

30.11.2009. Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years. The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation. Continue reading in Times Online.

 

Totalitarian Europe

Troubling tendencies

29.11.2009. On 1 December the Lisbon Treaty comes into force and the European Union (EU) takes on the status of a genuine state with its own President and Foreign Minister. The Russian newspaper Pravda (Nov. 4) recently wrote that the EU is beginning to look like a “reincarnation of the USSR.” The appointment of Cathy Ashton as the first EU Foreign Minister (full title” “High Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy”) would seem to confirm this. Paul Belien also writes the following in his Brussels Journal article:

When I interviewed [former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky] four years ago, he said that the aim of the EU to supplant the old nations of Europe with a new European identity endangers Europe and the world: “The ultimate purpose of the Soviet Union was to create a new historic entity, the Soviet people, all around the globe. The same is true in the EU today. They are trying to create a new people. They call this people “Europeans,’ whatever that means.”

Bukovsky thinks that, as in the Soviet Union, the political establishment will not succeed in its goal to obliterate the nationalities. “At the time of the Soviet collapse the suppressed feelings of national identity came bouncing back.” He expects the same thing will happen in the EU, but in the meantime many people will suffer and when the system collapses, considerable violence may occur.

“There will be a collapse of the European Union pretty much like the Soviet Union collapsed,” Bukovsky predicts.

“But do not forget that when these things collapse they leave such devastation that it takes a generation to recover. Just think what will happen if it comes to an economic crisis. The recrimination between nations will be huge. It might come to blows. Look to the huge number of immigrants from Third World countries now living in Europe. This was promoted by the European Union. What will happen with them if there is an economic collapse? We will probably have, like in the Soviet union at the end, so much strife that the mind boggles. In no other country were there such ethnic tensions as in the Soviet Union, except probably in Yugoslavia. That is exactly what will happen here, too. We have to be prepared for that. This huge edifice of bureaucracy is going to collapse on our heads. This is why, and I am very frank about it, the sooner we finish with the EU the better. The sooner it collapses the less damage it will have done to us and to other countries.”

White nationalists

What is their agenda?

28.11.2009. I've just become aware of an interesting exchange in Takimag. The whole thing started with the article Whiteout by Jared Taylor. These are the follow-up articles I've found:

 

France

Increasing problems

Riots in Paris ...

... with mostly black thugs beating up whites.

28.11.2009. For another glimpse of what the future holds for Europeans, please read A Wild Week-End in France.

 

Petty Britain

Antiracists going bananas - Could your child be branded a racist next?

13.11.2009. A six-year-old child cowers tearfully in her school's office. She knows she is in serious trouble for uttering a 'bad' word. Her fear is compounded by confusion. She has been accused of racism but is far too young to understand the gravity of the charge or grasp its dire implications. But she knows her transgression is a dreadful one: a phone call has been made to her parents; official forms have been filled in; the adults around her wear dutifully censorious expressions. The little girl is in tumult. She has to be reassured that the police will not come and take her away.

What heinous crime has she committed? During the course of a playground game, she has called another child 'blacky'. The 'victim' has neither complained about, nor even noticed, the remark. But a playground supervisor has. Diligently - and observing the Government procedures requiring all our schools to report 'racist incidents' - she has frog-marched the culprit to the office. In due course the little girl's 'crime' is logged on local authority files.

From there it becomes an official Government statistic. The incident is not an isolated one. Similar scenes are enacted in primary and even nursery schools every day, all over Britain.

Quotes

 

This is the trend worldwide. The white race will in the long term become extinct. . . . Apparently we are happy with this development.

Jozef Ritzen, Dutch Minister of Education, Culture, and Science, quoted in Takimag

 

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

George Orwell

 

Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Balanchine ballets, et al. don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.

Susan Sontag, Partisan Review, Winter 1967, p. 57.

 

There is no single human being who has ever done more to destroy the white race than Adolf Hitler.

Fjordman, the Brussels Journal, 27.04.2009

 

Germany’s downward spiral in population is no longer reversible. The birthrate has dropped so low that immigration numbers cannot compensate. The fall in the population can no longer be stopped.

Vice-president Walter Rademacher, the Federal Statistics Office

 

This is not a legitimate area of research.

R. Brian Ferguson, Rutgers University, voicing his opinion about research efforts to use "genetics to study behavioral differences among people". Los Angeles Times, 18.04.2009

 

Therefore insensitivity for the existing societal power relationships is crucial for the interpretation of the limits of free expression.

EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) - part of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, in Freedom of Expression and Hate Speech: some points for consideration, December 2008, quoted in Standpoint Magazine

 

"The most important blank spot exists now [sic] in deconstructing the majority so thoroughly that it can never be called the majority again"

professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Culcom, 27.08.2008

 

"Why am I posting so much about science? First, I do think it is fair to say that the Right has a “Science Problem.” But secondly, my own conservatism is grounded and framed in the scientific understanding of human nature, at least to the extent we understand it. Any conservatism which is empirical and takes the idea of a human nature seriously must ultimately assimilate the most recent findings of the evolutionary & behavioral sciences."

Razib Khan, Secular Right, 01.12.2008

 

"We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem.…I’m saying to you that we need to solve this problem because they are going to kill us.…The problem on the planet is white people."

Dr. Kamau Kambon, former North Carolina State visiting professor of African Studies, speaking at Howard University, quoted at Gates of Vienna

 

"This amounts to saying that meeting with potentially violent groups, as long as they are non-white, is OK, but meeting with non-violent groups who work peacefully within the democratic system is not OK if they stand up for their rights and happen to be white. I do not accept this double standard and refuse to submit to it."

Fjordman, Gates of Vienna, 30.10.2008

 

"Indeed, no true leftist – whether Marxist, cultural Marxist, Christian social penitent, New York liberal or Amsterdam libertine -- will ever let reality interfere with a good theory. [...] Maybe Benjamin Franklin was right when he said that we must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately."

Takuan Seiyo, The Brussels Journal, 28.10.2008

 

"What the bill will not do: ... First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."

United States Senator Ted Kennedy, during debate on the Senate floor, speaking of the effects of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3).

 

"[Certain people think] that Europeans must prove that we are 100% "ideologically pure" before we should be granted the right to fight for our continued existence. Imagine if a house is on fire. The fire brigade has just arrived to put out the fire, but the neighbor won't allow them to use the local water because he fears it may be impure. He will only accept that they use holy water - distilled holy water - and only if it has been blessed by a lesbian priest who supports voting rights for illegal immigrants. Since the firefighters don't have this available, the house burns down, but the neighbor takes comfort in knowing that at least the remaining ash is ideologically pure."

Fjordman, Atlas Shrugs, 23.09.2008

 

"If there’s one thing the evolutionary process cannot produce, it is equality."

Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele in Race - the reality of human differences

 

"General impressions are never to be trusted. Unfortunately when they are of long standing they become fixed rules of life, and assume a prescriptive right not to be questioned. Consequently those who are not accustomed to original inquiry entertain a hatred and a horror of statistics. They cannot endure the idea of submitting their sacred impressions to cold-blooded verification. But it is the triumph of scientific men to rise superior to such superstitions, to devise tests by which the value of beliefs may be ascertained, and to feel sufficiently masters of themselves to discard contemptuously whatever may be found untrue."

Sir Francis Galton, Ann Eugenics 1925;1:i (BMJ).

 

"At the present moment, it is impossible to demonstrate that there exist between 'races' differences of intelligence and temperament other than those produced by cultural environment. If, tomorrow, more accurate tests or more thorough studies should prove that 'races' as such do, in fact, have different innate faculties or aptitudes, Unesco's moral position on the race question would not be changed. ... Concern for human dignity demands that all citizens be equal before the law ... no matter what their physical or intellectual differences may be... The conscience of all mankind demand that this be true for all the peoples of the earth. It matters little, therefore, whether the diversity of men's gift be the result of biological or cultural factors."

The Race Question (page 3), UNESCO, 18.07.1950

 

"[Brazil] suffers less than other nations from the effects of those prejudices which are at the root of so many vexatious and cruel measures in countries of similar ethnic composition. ... We must learn [through research] exactly why and how social, psychological and economic factors have contributed in varying degrees to make possible the harmony which exists in Brazil"

The Race Question (page 4), UNESCO, 18.07.1950

 

"Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity."

The motto of the publication Race Traitor.

 

"But it is absolutely verboten for either [political] party, or any white candidate, to appeal to whites as a racial identity group. Racial identity is simply forbidden to whites in America and across the entire Western world. Black children today are hammered with the idea of racial identity and pride, yet racial pride in whites constitutes a grave evil. Say "I'm white and I'm proud" and you are a Nazi."

Shelby Steele, The Wall Street Journal, 13.11.2003.

 

"I always felt that a scientist owes the world only one thing, and that is the truth as he sees it. If the truth contradicts deeply held beliefs, that is too bad. Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts"

Hans J. Eysenck, in his autobiography Rebel with a Cause

 

"America has been an exception to the general rule that multiracial, multiethnic societies are doomed to eventual dissolution"

Professor Carol M. Swain, in Contemporary voices of white nationalism in America (page viii)

 

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

Noam Chomsky, quoted by Democracy reform

Our Manifesto

 

HonestThinking is dedicated and committed to the art of thinking honestly. Yet honest thinking is not the same as true thinking, for it is possible to think honestly, but be mistaken. For the same reason, honest thinking is not identical with objective thinking either. Honest thinking is striving to get things right. This involves being truthful about whatever one publishes, but just as importantly, it involves an uncompromising dedication never to suppress relevant data, even when data collides with dearly held prejudices. Such an approach may sometimes cause hurtful revisions in one’s belief system. That’s what HonestThinking is all about! Read the entire manifesto.

Multicultural societies – respect for Muslims and Islam

 

The current European immigration and integration policy is profoundly disrespectful of both Muslims and Islam, because it is built on the tacit assumption that the Muslims will become like us. One claims to have respect for Islam and for Muslims, but one also expects Muslims to give up their orthodox faith when they come here. At the same time one is assuming that Islam will be reformed and modernized as soon as the Muslims become integrated and understand and appreciate how superior our Western culture is compared to their own. This is cultural shauvinism and arrogance indeed! The unspoken premise for this scenario is that Western socities are superior to Islam. Read more.

 

 
Threats against democracy and human rights

 

Human rights and democracy are under pressure. One threat comes from the Western world, in the form of lack of or dishonest thinking. There exists a peculiar Western "tolerance" which is so "tolerant" that it even tolerates totalitarian or anti-democratic ideologies. A tacit assumption underlying such an attitude is that all cultures, world views, and religions are really equally good. As a consequence of this assumption one is cut off from the possibility of critically examining the above mentioned ideologies. Read more.
