Genetic geometry shows that Jews are distinct from northern European Whites

But DNA is a number-sequence, not a code of ethics. Morality dissolves in mathematics. I don’t think we can blame Stephen Jay Gould for his anti-Mendelian mendacity. As Kevin MacDonald points out, Gould proclaimed this in his most famous book, The Mismeasure of Man (1996): “May I end up next to Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius in the devil’s mouth at the center of hell if I ever fail to present my most honest assessment and best judgment of the evidence for empirical truth.” That was self-righteous and Gould is self-damned, because The Mismeasure of Man is replete with mendacity. But if Gould denied scientific truth and MacDonald champions it, that divergence isn’t surprising. Both men belong to small human groups that have had a vastly disproportionate influence on the world. But Scots, who have mostly had a good influence, are White and Jews, who have often had a bad influence, are not. Analysis of DNA has proved that. The three-dimensional geometry of DNA can be translated into a two-dimensional geometry of gene-clusters.⁸ On a gene-cluster map, Jews stand as a people alone, separated by the Southern-European cluster from Scots in the Northern-European cluster. But there’s another irony in such mathematically based DNA analysis, because one of the central figures in the discovery of DNA’s geometry was much more closely related to Stephen Jay Gould than she was to two of the other central figures in the DNA story.

Chasing the last few parts per million is crazy; we got better than 99% of the way to zero with closed-loop, port-injected, catalytic converter equipped engines in the late 1990s and we should return there tomorrow.  Doing so would re-introduce cars to the market which instantly and wildly increases fuel economy because they're smaller and more-aerodynamic than a truck -- and if available at a reasonable price, which they will be under those standards, people will buy and drive them.  As an example the 2015 Mazda 6, a full size sedan with a nice trunk and reasonable seating for four could be had in 2014 for right around $20,000.  And that's with a high-pressure fuel system -- revert to port-injected and you take at least a thousand more off the price with almost zero environmental impact.

There's no reason we can't have that car back again -- minus all of today's "nannies" -- at that kind of price.  Yet it has airbags, ABS, reverse camera, TMPS and traction control -- and was available in both a 6 speed manual and automatic gearbox returning close to 40mpg on the highway.  Mine has a quarter-million miles on the odometer and not a single non-consumable mechanical thing has been repaired or replaced on it during that time.  These are the sort of vehicles we need in America -- affordable, reasonably fun to drive, safe, reasonably-inexpensive to purchase (and thus insure) with excellent fuel economy and reliability.  Every manufacturer can make these sort of vehicles if we stop stepping on their necks.

In the shadow of a sprawling, state-funded education leviathan, a quiet revolution brews.  Homeschool co-operatives — tight-knit bands of parents, pooling wisdom and will — are not merely fleeing America’s public schools; they are forging a defiant stand against a cultural tide that threatens to drown the nation’s soul. This is an exodus toward liberty, echoing the Minutemen who once defied an empire.  By 2025, with possibly seven million children educated beyond the system’s reach, these co-ops are preserving an American ethos under siege.

Days before our interview, Rose appeared on Fox News representing MAHA, sporting a “Vote for Bobby” pin and advocating for a policy he believes should be implemented nationwide: schools to start their days an hour later.

“I started the 16th chapter of an organization called Start School Later in Rockland County,” he told Fox. “There’s over 150 chapters now lobbying school boards and superintendents and school districts to move the start time later.” He went on to argue that there is no better reform for high school education than this.

Rose continued in his Fox interview, “You get less sickness because people are showing up with stronger immune systems. Less absenteeism, less car accidents, better sports outcomes. Everything is performed much better.”

It Actually Is What it Is - Vox Popoli White Bull has launched their long-awaited substack focused on business and the intersection of policy on business with a very solid piece on tariffs. This is particularly important, because both the media and most official government positions on tariffs are still stuck in 18th century critiques of European mercantilism and therefore take nothing that has […] voxday.net

 

IT IS WHAT IT IS promises to be as significant in the business and technology space as FANDOM PULSE has already proved to be in the entertainment and culture space. If you’re running a side hustle or you’re a full-time entrepreneur with your own small business, you will definitely want to be a part of the conversation there. It’s something I’ve wanted White Bull to do for a long time, simply so I don’t have to, because it is one thing that we just haven’t had in the greater community.

We’ve just never really had a place where those of us who are active in business can discuss what is going on around the world in the context of our business operations, so I think this will be an important step going forward.

John McCain and the POW Cover-Up, by Sydney Schanberg - The Unz Review - May 25, 2010

 The “war hero” candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.

Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.

Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and McCain’s role in it, even as the Republican Party has made McCain’s military service the focus of his presidential campaign. Reporters who had covered the Vietnam War turned their heads and walked in other directions. McCain doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them.

The sum of the secrets McCain has sought to hide is not small. There exists a telling mass of official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos of rescue symbols that pilots were trained to use, electronic messages from the ground containing the individual code numbers given to airmen, a rescue mission by a special forces unit that was aborted twice by Washington—and even sworn testimony by two Defense secretaries that “men were left behind.” This imposing body of evidence suggests that a large number—the documents indicate probably hundreds—of the U.S. prisoners held by Vietnam were not returned when the peace treaty was signed in January 1973 and Hanoi released 591 men, among them Navy combat pilot John S. McCain.

Mass of Evidence

The Pentagon had been withholding significant information from POW families for years. What’s more, the Pentagon’s POW/MIA operation had been publicly shamed by internal whistleblowers and POW families for holding back documents as part of a policy of “debunking” POW intelligence even when the information was obviously credible.

The pressure from the families and Vietnam veterans finally forced the creation, in late 1991, of a Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. The chairman was John Kerry. McCain, as a former POW, was its most pivotal member. In the end, the committee became part of the debunking machine.
