Comment by: By #J. P. Rushton "Prof"32;# (University of Western Ontario) - See all my reviews 32; The book's central finding: the world average IQ is no more than 90, and declines from north to south. An IQ of 90 is equivalent to the mental age of a White14-year-old. (Standardized IQ tests are normed to 100, the mental age of the average white 16-year-old.). Lynn also draws attention to the fact that a north-south IQ continuum has evolved, apparently through selection for survival in cold winters. These findings in Lynn's latest book have profound geopolitical significance. They imply it may simply not be possible to transmit Western-style ...
How Water Has Become a National Security Issue

It's a colossal failure of political foresight that water has not emerged as an important issue in the U.S. Presidential campaign. The links between oil, war, and U.S. foreign policy are well known. But water -- whether we treat it as a public good or as a commodity that can be bought and sold -- will in large part determine whether our future is peaceful or perilous. Americans use water even more wastefully than oil. The U.S relies on non-renewable groundwater for 50 percent of its daily use, and 36 states now face serious water shortages, some verging on crisis. Meanwhile, dwindling freshwater supplies around the world, inequitable access to water, and corporate control of water, ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A woman whose American-born daughter was deported to Mexico with the father is suing the federal government for $5 million. Texas native Monica Castro accuses the U.S. Border Patrol of refusing to release her daughter to her when the girl's father was arrested in December 2003. Despite proving the child was born in the U.S., Castro says officials took the girl from Lubbock to the Texas-Mexico border. Castro did not find and regain custody of her daughter until three years later. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Corpus Christi is handling the case. They declined to comment. In court documents, the federal government contends the Border Patrol was acting ...

He and legislators said they hope the ideas spread and force Congress to act. “The message is loud and clear: Stop the silent invasion of this state,” said Senate President Pro Tem Glenn ...

Economist traces height trend as indicator of nation's success By Tom Hundley - Chicago Tribune CHICAGO --When John Komlos wants to take the measure of a nation's economic well-being, he doesn't check its gross domestic product or consumer price index. He ignores its average household income and unemployment figures. Instead, Komlos takes a look at how tall its people have grown. "Height is a very good overall indicator of how well the human organism thrives in its socioeconomic environment," he explained. Komlos, a professor in the economics department at the University of Munich, Germany, has dedicated his professional life to the study of anthropometric history ...

With Republican nominee-presumptive John McCain absolutely the last choice for most conservatives, and the "lesser-of-two-evils" argument wearing very thin after eight years of Bush betrayal, the 2008 election provides an excellent opportunity for a conservative third party candidate. The Constitution Party has already nominated Rev. Chuck Baldwin (a former VDARE.COM columnist!) But Barr could be ...

Knife violence in London is now running as high as gun warfare in some US cities, it is claimed today. One of Britain's leading trauma surgeons has told how one in three of his Accident & Emergency patients is now a stabbing victim. Karim Brohi, a consultant surgeon at the Royal London Hospital, said the proportion of injuries from knives and guns was now on a level with - if not greater than - cities such as Los Angeles or Chicago. He described how, on occasions, the wards in his hospital resembled "a war zone" with some patients being treated for their second or third knife wound. And - in a letter to the Evening Standard - Mr Brohi, along with two senior trauma ...

OPEN BORDERS PROVE "WAR ON TERROR" IS SUPERFICIAL (Chuck Baldwin)

The American people were led to believe that America's fine men and women in uniform were sent halfway around the world to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight a "war on terror." Of course, everyone now knows that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the attacks on September 11, 2001. I am sure that most everyone also remembers that the vast majority of the terrorists who participated in those attacks were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. Yet, Saudi leaders continue to enjoy the coziest of relationships--and, dare I say, friendships--with President George W. Bush. Does anyone besides me remember when Bush said that countries had to decide whether they would be friends with either ...

WATERLOO, Iowa — In temporary courtrooms at a fairgrounds here, 270 illegal immigrants were sentenced this week to five months in prison for working at a meatpacking plant with false documents. The prosecutions, which ended Friday, signal a sharp escalation in the Bush administration’s crackdown on illegal workers, with prosecutors bringing tough federal criminal charges against most of the immigrants arrested in a May 12 raid. Until now, unauthorized workers have generally been detained by immigration officials for civil violations and rapidly deported. The convicted immigrants were among 389 workers detained at the Agriprocessors Inc. plant in nearby Postville in a raid that ...

The Houston rodeo has rejected a U.S. Justice Department offer to mediate disputes with minority groups who say it needs more minorities in high-ranking positions, doesn't give scholarships to noncitizens in the country legally and has stopped featuring Tejano performers on its main stages. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo does not believe mediation is needed because it promotes diversity and does not engage in discrimination, said chief operating officer Leroy Shafer. "At this point, we see no need to have a Justice Department mediator involved in this," he said. "We've heard (the minority groups') issues. We think they are all pointless." Johnny Mata ...

MEXICO CITY - Homicides related to organized crime jumped 47 percent in 2008, Mexico's attorney general said Friday in a rare confirmation of how bad violence has become. Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora told Radio Formula that 1,378 people have been killed so far this year, compared with 940 in the same period last year. The statistic reflected what many in Mexico already knew: Drug-related killings have soared in recent months. But the details were the first official snapshot on the rise in killings. The Mexican government has been reluctant to release homicide statistics, leaving the public to rely on informal tallies by the news media. Medina Mora said many of the recent ...

Michael Bender of the Palm Beach Post reported from a Barack Obama fundraiser at a local hotel where Obama railed against opponents of illegal immigration on radio and TV: "A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There's a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year,'' Obama said. "If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it's not surprising that would happen." The Post noted that Obama also dismissed the notion that he would have a difficult time wooing Hispanic voters that Sen. Hillary Clinton and Republican Sen. John McCain have claimed as their own.

(CNSNews.com) - Three Democratic lawmakers who spoke Wednesday about alleged anti-immigrant coverage by conservative media outlets were not aware of a recent State Department travel alert warning Americans about military-like "combat" along the southern U.S. border in Mexico, where Americans are being kidnapped and murdered. "The situation in northern Mexico remains very fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements there cannot be predicted," said the State Department alert.
