The Main Stream Media is quite clear about it: Mixed-race people are more intelligent and taller than are either of their parents [People born to genetically-diverse parents likely to be taller and more intelligent, says study, By Steve Connor, The Independent, July 1, 2015]. And they are also, in general, physically more attractive than mono-racial people [It’s a wonderful, mixed-up world, By Philip Hollis, The Daily Telegraph, November 1, 2009].  A total exaggeration, of course —but it is true that mixed-race people tend to be more crazy.

Needless to say, the mixed-race reality is more nuanced than the MSM reports. Edinburgh University’s Dr Peter Joshi and his team, analysed health and genetic information in 100 studies conducted worldwide, including details on more than 350,000 people, living in both urban and rural areas. They did find that “genetic diversity” (their term for “mixed-race”) is associated with higher IQ, being taller, and having higher levels of education; likely due to being more intelligent. [Directional dominance on stature and cognition in diverse human populations, By P.K. Joshi et al., Nature, July 2015]

But this is subtly different from the MSM reports. On massive samples, mixed-race people are more likely to have these qualities, but it is certainly doesn’t mean that a mixed-race child will always be taller, smarter, and cleverer than either of its parents. In many cases, it’ll slightly better than intermediate between its parents. This will mean that where, for example, a white father has an IQ of 100 and the black mother has an IQ of 96 then the child may well have a higher IQ than either of them. Nevertheless, in general, if a white person (average IQ: 100) has a child with a random black American person (average IQ: 85), that child will be less intelligent than the white parent.

There is certainly a phenomenon known as “hybrid vigor.” It fascinated Darwin, who observed, in Origin of Species that if you mix two strains you often end up with a hardier strain, saying that these crosses give “vigour and fertility to the offspring.” [Hybridism, Origin of Species, Ch. 8,]. Reason: the higher the level of genetic diversity, the less likely it is that a child will inherit two copies of a (almost always damaging) mutant allele. This, in turn, means that the child will likely have an optimally functioning nervous system, which will allow the child to more easily fight off diseases—whereas those with weaker immune systems would spend disproportionately more of their energy doing so, directing resources away from growth. So mixed-race people end up being taller.

Similarly, fewer of mixed-race people’s resources are directed away from the growth of the brain and there are fewer mutations which might slow down their nervous system. So, mixed-race people will be more intelligent than either of their parents, assuming their parents’ intelligence is roughly equal. Specifically, they are able to solve cognitive problems more quickly, speed being a crucial part of IQ tests.

Jack Smith IV is a fairly standard example of a Leftist journalist who promotes Antifa, holds whites in low regard, and strives to paint everyone on the Right as a Nazi. His Twitter bio boasts of his union membership, and he describes himself as a “union thug.”

Smith wrote for Mic.com, and specialized in trying to snitch on anyone and everyone who might be linked to white dissidents. Some recent examples:

• Amazon publishes a library of white nationalist books and magazines. They know it, and won’t stop., September 22, 2018

• How YouTube communities are creating “pathways of radicalization” toward white supremacist ideas, September 19, 2018

• Republican Rep. Steve King is retweeting white nationalists. Again., September 12, 2018

The idea here: to convince the enormous companies behind social media platforms to deplatform patriots like us at VDARE.com, and even just anyone on the Right. In this way, self-described “union thugs” who love anarchist terrorists strive to direct the actions of some of the richest men in human history. Incredibly, this tactic often works.

Mr. Smith’s beat was a sweet one. You get to write condescendingly about people you despise, you get the ego boost of helping deplatform those you view as evil, tons of people with money and influence praise what you do, etc. At present, Smith has more Twitter followers than VDARE.com (and VDARE.com has a lot by Dissident Right standards).

If you were a professor of journalism, you might tell your students that Smith could serve as something of a role model for them. A crusader for our secular theocracy who does well for himself to boot!

It reminds me being in a college political science class: at the end of a discussion about the American Right, a fellow student turned to me and said: “Man, you know a lot about these guys. You should work for the Southern Poverty Law Center!”

If only I could be so self-interested and heartless…

All of this was true of Jack Smith IV—until late September. Then he got #MeToo-ed. And now none of it is true!

It’s not just a moral truth, but a political one—cucking gets you nowhere. (Looking at you, Laura Ingraham). Brett Kavanaugh’s courageous testimony in his Supreme Court confirmation hearing emboldened many Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham (!), to rally to him, and of course President Trump had his back. [Watch: Donald Trump Hosts Rally In Wheeling, WV, Breitbart, September 29, 2018] In contrast, Jeff Flake, with his desire to find “common ground,” just got called a “rape apologist” by the hard Left. [Women’s March thanks Sen. Jeff Flake by calling him a ‘rape apologist,’ Twitchy, September 28, 2018] In this new age of confrontational politics, only those who are willing to “wheel and fight” are going to survive. But far too many GOP politicians—and ordinary Americans caught by a Cultural Marxist media lynch mob—don’t know how to do it.

Luckily, the Dissident Right has been talking about this for years. Vox Day provided an invaluable guide with his 2015 book SJWs Always Lie. He listed of several steps that anyone caught in a media feeding frenzy should follow. Two of the most important: “Never Apologize” and “Do Not Resign.” Caving to a demand for an apology or a resignation simply leads to Leftists moving the goalposts and making even more extensive demands. Which was exactly what happened with Kavanaugh. [Get ready for Democrats to say a week isn’t long enough for the FBI to investigate Brett Kavanaugh, by Philip Wegmann, Washington Examiner, September 28, 2018]

Yet what about going on the attack? Here, one of the most important commands to follow would be Saul Alinsky’s dictum from his Rules for Radicals—“Make The Enemy Live Up To Its Own Book Of Rules.”

Was Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and then his body cut up with a bone saw and flown to Riyadh in Gulfstream jets owned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman?

So contend the Turks, who have video from the consulate, photos of 15 Saudi agents who flew into Istanbul that day, Oct. 2, and the identity numbers of the planes.

Supporting the thesis of either a murder in the consulate or a "rendition," a kidnaping gone horribly bad, is a Post story that U.S. intel intercepted Saudi planning, ordered by the prince, to lure Khashoggi from his suburban D.C. home back to Saudi Arabia. And for what beneficent purpose?

If these charges are not refuted by Riyadh, there will likely be, and should be, as John Bolton said in another context, "hell to pay."

The leaked internal Google briefing “The Good Censor” [PDF] has received suspiciously little attention from the Main Stream Media, but it represents the crassest statement yet of the Tech oligopolies’ intention to impose Silicon Valley Political Correctness on the U.S. As American Thinker Editor Thomas Lifson puts it: “I congratulate Breitbart.com for the scoop, and I urge everyone—I am looking at you, President Trump and Congress—to read and ponder the fate of the Republic unless this company is defanged, most likely by antitrust action, but possibly also via civil courts.” [Stunning 85-page Google memo 'The Good Censor' leaked to Breitbart, October 10, 2018]

What are Trump’s options? He’s certainly thinking about the issue.

The Washington Post reported recently that the White House was backing off a proposed executive order that would have required federal agencies to “investigate and/or prosecute” tech giants for bias. Administration officials told WaPo: “Although the White House is concerned about the conduct of online platforms and their impact on society, this document is not the result of an official White House policymaking process.” [White House distances itself from reports that Trump could target Facebook, Google and Twitter with a new executive order, by Tony Romm and Josh Dawsey, September 22, 2018]

WaPo reported Trump has demanded an executive order on this matter for some time, but all of the drafts have been deemed “unworkable.” Sources tell the Watcher that the fallout from the leak deterred the President but he still considers the issue a top priority for his base and he wants it addressed.
