WHY USE LESS ENERGY TO FUND DYSGENIA?
Why should I stop driving, heating, cooling, burning, manufacturing, so that the underclasses can engage in dysgeic reproduction?
It’s harmful to mankind to fund dysgenia. It’s the worst possible strategic action that we can take.
There isn’t any global warming crisis, any more than there is any other pollution crisis. There is a dysgenic overbreeding crisis.
This isn’t complicated.
Solve the right problem.

THE LUSITANIA AND GERMANY’S GAMBLE
—“Ten months before Lusitania, on the outbreak of war, the United States had immediately declared neutrality, and most Americans wanted to be neutral. There was still a lingering anti-British sentiment left over from the Revolution and a very large population of German immigrants and their descendants naturally favored their ancestral country.
But the British were masters of propaganda, and the British campaign to portray the Germans as “Huns,” who had “raped” neutral Belgium at the start of the war, in violation of its treaty obligations, moved public opinion sharply in favor of the Allies.
The sinking of the Lusitania moved it still further. President Woodrow Wilson managed to resist calls for a declaration of war against Germany, but American anger was so intense that Germany felt obliged to declare that it would not attack neutral ships, regardless of where they were, and would not attack passenger ships at all.
But then, in early 1917, as the British blockade was slowly strangling Germany by causing near-starvation on the home front, Germany decided to gamble. It knew it had to win the war then or lose it from a collapse of morale at home. It reinstituted unrestricted submarine warfare. It knew this would likely bring America into the war (which it did) but it hoped that it could starve Britain into submission before the Americans could mobilize and bring overwhelming power to bear.
The Germans lost that gamble.”—

If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things
If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.

RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITAN’S PRE HISTORY One of the great civilizations of human p
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qZo0_YaBhcTHE RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITAN’S PRE HISTORY
One of the great civilizations of human pre-history.
Reincarnation. An underworld. Oak Trees Planted Upside down.
The Hearth. Homes built around hearths. Stone circles built around homes.
Feats of public engineering. A bronze age industrial revolution.
The intentional destruction of our Priest-Judges and our civilization by Rome.
The consequent destruction of our entire european religion (civilization) by Justinian.
There was no Celtic conquests. There were no anglo-saxon conquests. There were no Viking conquests. There was even limited norman conquest. We see cultural adoption of British civilization on the continent, then after conquest by Rome and the destruction fo the druids, adoption of roman status signals and culture. Then after the departure of Rome, the adoption of north sea Scandinavian signals and culture.
Bede’s Justification of the Church and the Fabrication of Primitivism of the British peoples. It was a lie.
We had liberty in pre-history: rule of law and an independent judiciary in prehistory.
The north sea peoples were constantly trading and inbreeding.
The use of flint was eliminated by the oversupply of bronze tools.
We were cut off at the knees by Romans, not civilized by them.
We were enslaved into hierarchy by the church, not civilized by it.
Yet with the reintroduction of pagan thought (greek) we restored our civilization in but a few hundred years, and again produced an industrial revolution.
As far as I can tell, we never developed centralized government and taxation, so we did not develop inventories and writing. That is because we never had to construct irrigation or armies. We would only have developed writing if we had expanded commerce sufficiently to require inventories and contracts. But we did not get the chance. Romans killed our civilization. Bede and the church lied to us to pretend they had civilized us.
The Americans tried to restore our ancient civilization. But the Louisiana purchase and the failure to divide north and south into separate nations by aggressive conquest by the north, repeated the process.
Knowledge is power.
We can restore our northern European civilization.
No state. Rule of Law. Professional, devoted, judiciary. Private property. Militia. Universal standing. And civic construction of commons.

I WOULD HAVE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB OF ARGUING IN FAVOR OF GAY MARRIAGE THAN DID
http://dailysignal.com/2015/04/29/in-depth-key-questions-and-remarks-from-the-supreme-court-oral-arguments-on-marriage/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saturday&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRojvqXKZKXonjHpfsX64%2B4vWKS3i4kz2EFye%2BLIHETpodcMS8tqNK%2BTFAwTG5toziV8R7jHKM1t0sEQWBHmHONESTLY, I WOULD HAVE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB OF ARGUING IN FAVOR OF GAY MARRIAGE THAN DID THE PLAINTIFFS.
The article is quite good: Roe v Wade did not allow the democratic process to work and therefore created an unsettled matter of profound divisiveness. The argument presented is that the states can continue the experiment. The court has no interest in repeating another roe-v-wade, and cutting short the democratic process.
This is of course how the court should always have acted.
But we must grasp that progressives are immoral, unscientific authoritarians and conservatives are moral, scientific, preventers-of-authoritarianism.
In the end (as Eli Has stated) the problem is the term ‘marriage’. There is no reason that one cannot have all social and political benefits of heterosexual marriage, yet call it something else.
I made that argument pretty thoroughly back in 2002.

What is a nation but a large family with frontiers? But it serves the interest of politicians to convert family private property into a corporation and to sell off the assets, for their benefit.
That is what statism does really.
