    Hey Robert,
    I think this would be a good post-
    ‘Inshallah, Kashmir: Living Terror’ is a documentary by Oscar nominated filmmaker Ashvin Kumar which explores the past 20 years of systematic oppression & violence against the Kashmiri people who have been living under occupation for over 60 years. To bypass Indian censors, Kumar is releasing the film online on January 26th at 12 am for 24hrs to be viewed without charge. (Sorry, I couldn’t get online ’til today- there is a 7 minute preview available at the director’s site, not sure if the documentary will be available in the US?)
    From Kumar’s website: http://www.ashvinkumar.com/films/inshallah-kashmir-living-terror
    “A Kashmiri poet has said of the Indian occupation of Kashmir, “they make a desolation and call it peace.”
    Once the epitome of a syncretic, mystical, docile people known better for their unique culture and heritage of arts and craft; a crucible of Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufi-Islam; for verdant forests, jewel like valleys nestled in golden tipped snow-capped peaks, generous hospitality and guileless, beautiful people, the dark cloud of terror enveloped the Kashmir valley overnight.
    A sense of what it is like to be living terror. -Army, crackdowns, curfews, half-widows, rape, enforced disappearances, fake- encounters, mass graves, sadistic torture and trauma are ingrained in the vocabulary of Kashmir. Twenty years of incessant exposure to these atrocities has altered the average Kashmiri’s perception of ‘normalcy’. Military and paradise, bullet proof jackets and burkha; altered physical spaces where breathtaking vistas of mountains and crystal lakes are projected through barbed wire. Darkened army bunkers through which the alert eyes of battle-ready soldiers watch over not an enemy or a border but school children, women going shopping, men delivering goods : the humdrum life of a village. Yet no one is of the illusion that beneath the humdrum of daily ritual there is the possibility, nay certainty, of yet another militant attack, blood, limbs and sulfur, followed by reprisals by the armed forces. Such is the state of ‘normalcy’ into which children are born and raised. A cycle institutionalized and ritualized with cold precision since the advent of militancy in 1991, deeply ingrained in psyche of the Kashmiri.’
    ‘The film makers were able to record rare and precious footage under the guise of making a movie on Kashmiri football (www.inshallahfootball.com). The rare, unmediated access has resulted in footage that very few people have managed to record.’
    ‘It gives a human face to militancy and the plight of the average Kashmiri. It demands a solution to this endless and mindless conflict.’
    ‘This is the story of Indian democracy, the grand experiment that was founded with Indian independence from the British. Of how it has been tested in Kashmir, and found wanting.’

        Native non-Muslim Khashmiris in 89 when the Pakistani regime started using Afghan Muslim terrorist in Kashmir received one of the largest acts of ethnic cleansing by a terrorist campaign which I think was over 300,000 so I doubt India is Hinduizing Khashmir.

          I know for a fact that British intelligence allowed the Pakistani ISI to recruit and train British Pakistani’s in Pakistan in the 90′s which under Musharef they created there own international terrorist division to support terrorists in Kashmir one of which was the London 7/7 mastermind. There have even been cases of British Pakistanis being killed in suicide missions in Kashmir.

          http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/806422.stm

          It is true in 89 Pakistani backed terrorist started a massive terrorist and ethnic cleansing campaign against the native non-Hindu/Muslim population of Kashmir.

    This is something I really think you should write a post about:

    http://www.iapsych.com/iqmr/fe/LinkedDocuments/wicherts2010.pdf

    It is a very well researched, rigorous, honest academic assessment of Lynn’s conclusion that African IQ on raven’s progressive matrices is 70. Here is an excerpt of the conclusion:

    “Our review of the literature on the performance of Africans on the
    Raven’s tests showed that the average IQ of Africans on the Raven’s
    tests is lower than the average IQ in western countries. However, the
    average IQ of Africans is not as low as Lynn (and Vanhanen) andMalloy
    (2008) maintained. The majority of studies on IQ test performance of
    Africans not taken into account by Lynn (and Vanhanen) and Malloy
    showed considerably higher average IQs than the studies that they did
    review. We judge the reviews of Lynn (and Vanhanen) and Malloy to
    be unsystematic. These authors missed a large part of the literature on
    IQ testing in Africa, failed to explicate their inclusion and exclusion
    criteria, and made downward errors in the conversion of raw scores to
    IQs (Wicherts, 2007). Lynn (and Vanhanen)’s estimate of average IQ of
    Africans of around 67 is untenable. Our review indicates that it is about
    78 (UK norms) or 80 (US norms). These means are somewhat lower
    than the means of Africans on other IQ tests, which lie around 82
    (Wicherts et al., 2010).”

    This is an important finding that not many people have written about and its really of journalistic value to get it out ;-) .

        If you look at the full document, you’ll see that there is a full record of the raven’s tests carried out in Africa. They did a comprehensive lit review.
        They found that Lynn selected the tests with the lower scores, mostly in the 65-80 range, without giving any justification for why he chose them over others. He obviously had an agenda.

        So yeah Africans have scored 70 in some studies and you could expect to get a Caribbean study with a 70 score. But they also scored in the 80-90 range on lots of tests. If you average out all the scores, you end up with an overall average of about 80. Study after study shows IQ’s of 83, 86, 87 etc. That’s how it looks to me. This looks legit. Take a good look because its a scoop. Cheers bro ;-)

        II don’t see how it is propaganda as the Frankfurt school is also cited by leading left wing intellectuals comprising the foundations of the left wing movement.
        Some of the Frankfurt school professors would gone on to have a huge impact on liberal thought and western society like Karl Popper who was a mentor to George Soros at the London School of Economics whose philosophy and NGO’s are based on Poppers concept of the Open Society and another Professor who I have forgotten his name lead the new left/anti-Vietnam war demonstrations in the late 60’s.

        Marx did get one thing right about creating a global economic trading union although his economics wee wrong but failed to eliminate the ethnic factor were Communism reverted and morphed to suit the dominant ethnic culture of its host country with the exception of Soviet satellite states like Christianity were you have various religious sects.

          Jews are divided into different factions, and you should not treat them as a collective group. Historically, (non orthodox) jews have loosely supported both causes (liberalism and zionism) to some degree, but a lot has changed in the past 20 years. You won’t find any jews espoucing harsh racist rhetoric or backing social issues popular among conservative christians, but neocons are quite moderate on race related issues and have become defensive of the Christian right. The Palestinian cause first became popular among left wing jews during the early eighties and by now, pretty much all the hardcore leftists have migrated over to the Palestinian cause.

          If conservative christians did not put themselves out there, they would not garner such a reaction. I think Orthodox judaism is a model religion: they are able to maintain a traditional society without attempting to integrate their religious views into the legal system or make their views mainstream. You won’t see Orthodox jews getting involved on either side of an issue, whether demanding that christian symbols be removed from public places or protesting in front of abortion clinics. Most Orthodox jews personally support Israel to some degree but do not have the time or money to be influential.

          “Jews are divided into different factions, and you should not treat them as a collective group.”
          True. The differences between Jews – their cultures, ethnicities, opinions and political posturing is huge.

          Personally I don’t support what Israel does to the Palestine, for obvious humanitarian reasons. But that doesn’t mean I have to hate on non-Israeli Jews, those who neither sympathise with or support the Zionist ’cause’ (whatever that is). I find it irrational, a sort of phobia if anything.

    How’s this for a post-
    Two ministers of the BJP ( the Hindutva Nazi party & self described ‘custodians of Indian public morals’) were caught watching porn DURING a parliamentary assembly in Karnataka.
    http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_oppositionn-outraged-over-ministers-watching-porn-demand-resignation_1647224
    “BJP leaders preach people about preserving Hindu culture. But in their hearts and minds, they indulge in these kind of activities.’-Former chief minister and JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy.
    Yet another an interesting twist- one of the ministers watching the porn was none other than CC Patil, the Minister for Women and Child Development in Karnataka. And yes, he’s the same CC Patil whom assumed tones of a moral policeman recently suggesting that women ‘dress modestly’ if they don’t want to be harassed. “I personally don’t favour women wearing provocative clothes and always feel they need to be dignified in whatever they wear.” said Mr CC Patil. He also said women should ‘know’ how much skin they should cover.

      Not really something new. Hypocrisy among public figures is a deadbeat issue, one related to human nature than religion, nationality, politics or ethnic group.

      Given that the topic of ‘serious discussion’ in the assembly was the hoisting of a Pakistani flag in some non-descript city, porn probably provided some entertainment. It is time that Indian politicians, public and media got over this obsession with Pakistan – it is nothing but a foreign country. If Brazil could get over Argentina…

        Indeed. Being associated with Pakistan or Pakistanis has become a poison pill for every person or revolutionary movement that goes against the Delhi administration. Claim that a particular insurgent organisation and dissident individual ‘has links to’ or ‘is funded by’ Pakistan and that organisation or person is no longer legitimate. The allegation doesn’t have to be proved, just the association with Pakistan is enough.

        Also, having an unwarranted irrational and pathological hatred for anything to do with Pakistan is considered a marker of one’s patriotism in the country. It is sort of like the issue with ‘terrorists’ in United States, except that in India, there is no counter ideology.

          I am by no means an extremist, but even I harbour a strong contempt for Pakistani culture. BAG always says ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ and I think I partially agree with that assessment. Pakistani culture is a variation of the Indian peasant caste’s culture. Very similar. This is possibly because most Punjabi Muslims converted from the peasant caste as Aakar Patel points out. Anyhow, after living with Pakistani roommates over the past couple of years I’ve begun to despise their culture and their values. Their notion of honour is convoluted and retarded. It’s mostly about saving face and there is very little compromise. Indeed compromise is seen as a sign of weakness. Reconciliation is very difficult. But this notion of honour does not translate into an ethical code or superior morality. It’s just a series of face saving gestures where one must project an image. Offering assistance scores honour points, accepting assistance costs you honour and turns you into a debtor. Declining to assist someone costs you honour as well, no matter how much it may inconvenience or harm you. Honour is enforced through a list of mundane and shallow formalities that must be fastidiously observed. The Peasant and Warrior cultures of India suck ass.

          I am well aware of the rot in Pakistani culture. It is another topic of discussion altogether. Given that the culture in the Indian side of the border is pretty much the same as in Pakistan, I don’t think the Indian hatred of Pakistan is a manifestation os their contempt for the Pakistani culture. Some of the things that I see Indians do in the name of ‘izzat’ (honour), ‘parampara’ (tradition) and karma is no less convulted than what you might have experienced of Pakistanis.

          I just want to add to this by means of an example. Take the Arabic term Naseeb. If you speak Hindi, you might know where I’m going with this. From my limited understanding of Arabic and research, the Arabs define Naseeb as one’s material share in life. Tribal societies like the Arabs focus quite a bit on wealth distribution. In India the term refers to fate and destiny, and takes on an added tone of fatalism. Essentially, for the Hinduized Muslims of India, Naseeb is basically Karma translated into an Islamic term.

      Hi, Melba Ketchum and the others in her network uncovered most if not all of my sources, so the truth is that all of my sources are pretty much shot at the moment. So I have to get some new ones, but they are very hot to cultivate. Ketchum and the rest are always trying to dig up my sources, and once they find them, they cut them off from any further info.

      As most of my site is hot news from confidential sources, Ketchum’s counterespionage pretty much kills off the site. I don’t want to write the ordinary crap that everyone writes about. I want new cutting edge investigate reporting, generally using confidential sources to come up with hot new stories. If I can’t get that, there’s not much to write about, sorry.

    I found this on Reddit and I thought you might find it ‘interesting’ :

    Ok, so here is the story. One year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Harm OCD. Ok, so there was a reason I had these thoughts, so I forget about them. But a few months ago they started bugging me again. I just couldn’t let something go. I started worrying again, that I was sociopath or psychopath. I always assumed I was since I have guilt and feel shame and so on. But wait, what if I don’t feel those things, just fear what would say about me(narcassistic). Also sociopaths can feel some meassure of guilt and shame after they’ve done something bad. Also empathy, I read on the ASPD forum that they can actually feel empathy(selective empathy), because they compare how they would feel, but no sypathy(they’re just guessing). I figured thats kinda what I do, I first am emotionless, but I feel bad when I think about it little. Also I’m a vegan(no animal products what so ever), but sometimes I forget why and have to think to again feel empathy for animals. In these few months I figured I had some sort of superiority complex, but shock after shock I realized I was really stupid and I try to fix that. I don’t look for problems in others but in myself, also I try not feel like achieved something for little things or feel special, also try not to see things as black&white(sometimes I would feel very irretated with my classmates and feel for eq. “At least I’m smarter than them”, which ofc I’m not, and then again see them in a bright light after they’ve been nice to me). Now every time I feel superior I imidiatly feel guilty and a shammed. And this. One year ago we had a pet cameleon. And then we have to gave it away, because we could’t provide for him any longer. But before that I torchered him once. I flipped him in the air and grabbed his foot an kept him in the air for couple of seconds(I only did this once, but flipped him in the air couple of times). I really didn’t think about it, but never did that again, and was on the verge of crying because feeling really guilty and asshamed. You can’t believe how happy I was for him when we gave him away to a better home. I never did this to any animal before and after, but till this day I can’t forget about it. I feel anxious, have to take deep breathes, guilt(again is this really guilt, or just shamme because of my ego?!) and I can’t move on. When i’m manic(I use to be manic about stupid stuff, but now I get when I think of more simple wife- job, having basic stuff, like food and apartment and some luxury, and when I get this, I feel stupid for having those thoughts and feel like I will be able to move on.) i try to move on and forget about the whole thing(everything), and I succedd for this short time and feel very stupid for having those thought, but then again after I start thinking can’t stop.

    So, If im a psychopath or sociopath I want to kill myself, I couldn’t do it before because of my mom(am I feeling guilty because of her, or do I look at her with pitty and feel bad because of that?!), but if her son was Jeff Dahmer, she’d want him dead. I have found a quick and painless way to do this and If I don’t edit this post tomorrow, it means I’m dead. because I really can’t live with this anxiety anymore.

    EDIT: I have these weird thought, like if I see something, like lava and if it reminds me of ice cream with the taste of orange, I kinda get this taste, like I forgot it was lava, or if human flesh reminds me of chicken, I’m not a freakin’ cannibal, I just kinda get these intrusive thoughts, I don’t actually want to eat or hurt anybody!! Also I get this tingling sensation around throat, scalp and chest. Could it be because I might have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?

    I think the reason we have never found Bigfoot remains is because they are the army of fallen angels, Satan’s army, that have angel powers. When Satan was cast out of heaven, along with his followers, they were driven underground on earth. Where they are dwelling, awaiting the last great battle of good and evil. Our planet is riddled with a massive tunnel system that has not been explored. As angels, they never die and can disappear. Sometimes they venture out of their domain to see if the time is ready.
    Just my opinion.

    hi,

    When people talk about race and IQ, there is a common idea that NE Asians have higher iqs than Europeans who have higher iqs than blacks. The latter point often comes up on this blog, but we don’t talk as much about the white vs Asian iq difference and whether it exists. What evidence is there that NE Asians have higher iqs than Europeans, apart from the iq scores of immigrants? We are all familiar with the idea of selective immigration and we know that African immigrants to America do well in education and there are reports that they have higher iq scores than average Africans and perhaps even than American whites. So what evidence is there really that NE Asians in NE Asia are smarter than Europeans? I would like to ‘read’ you discuss this and I would like to know about IQ studies done in Asia.

    thanks.
