NY Terrorism Trial Signals Muslim Imposition

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The trial setting for Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other suspected Islamic terrorists in New York is a concession to Islam. The West is no longer Christian but rather officially secular and agnostic. This is evident in the recent banning of the crucifix from Italian public schools which will be ignored by the Italians themselves and inspire other schools in Europe to display Christian symbols such as the nativity scene in the classroom.

The pope is trying to broker a deal with Islamic leaders in exchange for the building of mosques in Europe for them to allow churches to be built in Muslim lands and to give Muslims the right to convert to Christianity or Judaism.

Secularism leaves a void in the soul which leads people to seek guidance to answer the basic questions of their existence.

The decision by the Obama administration is saying to Muslims throughout the world that the West will accommodate them even in times of war. This will inevitably lead to demands that western countries allow Muslims to live under a separate system of sharia law, something that the EU already permits at the local level.

The goal of Islam is jihad to destroy the Great Satan of secularism particularly in America and Israel. Obama is conceding that they won and that at least for the time being, America will concede them a gradual victory.

Is America Worth Saving?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Austria, although suffering the ravages of Allied bombardment, was spared the degradation of communism because of the Austrians strictly adhering to their Christian traditions. The German speaking peoples of central and eastern Europe were forcibly expelled and many suffered death as well as losing their homes and possessions, and many also were given a new lease on life in free Europe and other countries of the world.

Will Americans and Europeans be so lucky if the trend toward Islamicization continues in the West as it has over the last decade?

Quibbling about whether Hasan, the Fort Hood killer, just went over the top, or was engaging in jihad, does nothing to fix the problem. Then there is the D.C. sniper, also a Muslim, who is scheduled for execution tonight. Prisoner abuse by our enlisted soldiers is a sign of declining military discipline and morale. In sacrificing our cherished traditions on the altar of capitalism, we as a nation risk destruction.

At some point, it becomes too late to change a culture save by miraculous intervention. Has America reached that point yet? Have the envious cynics already won the culture war?

The strength of Islamic extremism is that it holds a trump card. Either do what they want or get blown up. When Christians become so lukewarm in their faith that tolerance is exalted above objective truth, then the Muslim moral absolutes, no matter how flawed, prevail, just as communism once did.

Creative Minority Needed

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Benedict XVI, reflecting on dwindling church attendance among Christians in the post-Communist Czech Republic, told journalists en route to Prague "that normally those who determine the future are the creative minority."

In America, Jews have always filled this role of helping to set the agenda. Recent trends show that while most Americans still believe in a Supreme Being and profess to being Christian, fewer and fewer young people identify with any particular religion. This means that for the future, Christian believers who are regular church goers will have to become another creative minority lending new ideas and a unique moral perspective to the increasingly secularized society at large.

Europe is also heading in the same direction, with fewer and fewer Christians who practice their faith regularly. Also, the European Union continues to be reticent about expressing constitutionally the formative influence of Christianity in shaping European culture over the centuries. Both America and Europe are becoming dominated by secular, cultural elites, out of touch with the vast majority of citizens.

It's the IQ Stupid

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Alexis de Toqueville once observed the tendency in American democracy to give social and political controversies a legal cast. Nowhere is this more true than with regard to questions involving gender, race and intelligence.

Not surprisingly, the double helix DNA structure was first proposed in 1953 by gentile lads Watson and Crick in Britain where the Y chromosome R1b predominates.

Because the United States Supreme Court judges were hellbent on creating a level playing field, the level of intelligent discourse has declined dramatically. In short, whatever gifts women may have that men don't have, women are in general dumber than men, and the divergence is even greater at the high end intelligence level. This is because their brains are smaller than those of men.

When our cavemen ancestors first migrated out of Africa thousands of years ago, the first to settle in Europe were primitives who became known as Cro-Magnon. Much later, other groups settled from Asia and these were the source of the R1b type males. Because the older Cro-Magnon male DNA is very uncommon among males of European descent, it is clear that the male newcomers from Asia bore offspring and eventually replaced the indigenous male population. Even among women in Scandanavia, the older population has survived only in an isolated refuge in the East Baltic region as discovered recently.

In Asia, a certain allele causes a high intelligence level when it is inherited from only one parent, and causes birth defects and infant mortality when inherited by offspring from both parents simultaneously. This may account for the high intelligence level among the Asian populations, and among Ashenazi Jews of Eastern European descent to a greater extent due to inbreeding.

In order for Americans to become competitive with the emerging Asian nations and with Europe within the global economy, we must provide greater educational opportunities and job incentives to males of the R1a and R1b types regardless of race, who are currently underrepresented in colleges and universities and in the higher paying professions based upon gender and racial preferences and affirmative action.

RE: African American DNA

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

A few changes are in order from yesterday.

The rate of R1b is much higher in the male Afro-American population, reaching 23% in recent surveys. This reflects a direct paternal lineage from Europe of approximately 30%. Conversely, almost all Afro-Americans descend from Africa in a direct maternal lineage. Using the rational, scientific method with DNA testing, instead of politicizing education and employment as do the liberals, should therefore result in more and better jobs for Afro-Americans, with women not being forced to compete with white men on an intrinsically lopsided playing field.

Building America's Future

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Several errors have come to light. Herbert Hoover should have been mentioned in presidential ancestry for Swiss origin paternal DNA, in addition to Van Buren, both Roosevelts, and Eisenhower who were not descended paternally from the British Isles, and Jefferson who was found to be type K2 probably Iberian. Also, the Atlantic Modal hyplotype, given as R1b1b2a1a [L11], is the most frequently occurring haplotype amongst human males in Atlantic Europe, and together with the other R1b types, would comprise most of the males of Western Europe and North America.

With that in mind, our policy goal should be to identify Rlb male children through DNA testing to prepare them for leadership roles in the future of America, which now hangs precariously in the balance of diversity. This should include many of the Hispanic Americans descended from European ancestors including the Basques who have the highest rate of AMH DNA in the world, and the African Americans who have approximately 13% descended paternally from Europe, which should translate to approximately !0% R1b type. Many Asian American and Amerindian males will also be found to be of the R1b type, either through descent from European ancestry or from the original home of R1b in Asia. This public policy should not overlook other lines of descent including that among White Americans. There are lots of other jobs, e.g. taking out the trash, etc., which do not require the specific characteristics of R1b Y-DNA. R1a is also common in America, and because of its similarity to R1b, will provide many men in leadership roles in the future.

R1 Y-DNA of Champions

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The human genome project brings to light the unique contribution of R1 Y-chromosome males to world civilization. Both variations R1a and R1b split off from type R which originated in central or south Asia many thousands of years ago.

The R1a form took root in the central Asian steppes, whereas the R1b form migrated south and west into the Levant and across Africa over 15,000 years ago, north into Russia, and east toward the Indian subcontinent and China where they settled in the Tarim Basin. Both R1a and R1b types were united in forming the Kurgan Culture in which the Indo-European language group developed and which spread across Europe. Today, R1a is strongest among the Balto-Slavic peoples, and R1b is strongest in the Basque areas of Spain and France, Brittany, Wales and Ireland, with over 90% frequency in these areas of Europe. This Western civilization then spread throughout the world through exploration, discovery and settlement, and the spread of Christianity, including North America.

Scientific studies in Denmark have proven that males have bigger brains and are more intelligent than females, with greater divergence particularly on the high end of the intelligence spectrum. This suggests that R1 type males will continue to play a major role in North American culture.

Out of Africa

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

This blog has dealt with scientifically the issue of how genetics, specifically Y-chromosome DNA configurations, has been a decisive factor in presidential elections in America, including the ancestry of Thomas Jefferson. Now with the election of Barack Obama as our first African-American president, it is clear that America has passed a milestone in leadership selection.

My prior observations were based on the similarities between Y-chromosome DNA between the major candidates and the various ethnic groups within the general population. A cursory look reveals that almost all prior presidents were descended paternally from ancestors born in the British Isles, except Van Buren, both Roosevelts, and Eisenhower, whose paternal ancestors hailed from northwest Europe which shares many of the same paternal genetic characteristics with the British Isles. The one anomaly was regarding Thomas Jefferson who was found in the Sally Hemings paternity investigations to have had a rare form K of the male ancestor DNA markers passed down from father to son only.

Obama's election pushes the analysis one step farther to include more American males, since scientific studies now show that the ancestors of all living humans originated on the African continent, and that all living humans have a single common ancestor, both male and female, who lived in Africa.

During the Roman Empire, there was no racial discrimination. A person's social status depended upon whether one were a Roman citizen or not. Thus, there were many of African descent, bearing such sobriquets as Africanus, Niger, Moor, etc., who were well respected within the Empire. Some of their DNA characteristics have obviously been handed down in Italy, and among Italians of African descent. Also, a good percentage of our European ancestors were descended from Africa at a relatively recent time anthropologically speaking.

The Obama factor in 2008 demonstrates a degree of unity among American men which has not existed before in history. Instead of voting on the basis of Western European male genetic characteristics, Americans picked a president whose paternal ancestry reflects, to some extent, that of all human beings at some point going back in time. This also is a further step toward globalization which is proceeding at a much faster rate than expected.

Media Distorts Reality in Gates Incident

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

Lucia Whalen the emergency 911 caller has accused the media of racial distortion. There is obviously a concerted effort being made by some in the media to make the majority of citizens apologetic for being white. One cable TV commentator, obviously upset by the negative attention Whalen was getting for placing the call, made the observation that "she is not White, she is Portuguese...".

To my recollection, Portugal is in the far western part of the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. Although there were Arabs and Jews who settled there in the Middle Ages, the population is still overwhelmingly European. Both of Lucia's parents were from Portugal, although she was born in the US. Do these pundits now believe that some Europeans or Americans of European descent are no longer white? Is this to help minorities overthrow the racial power structure in America?

Officer James Crowley specifically identifies the person with whom he spoke at the residence who made the 911 call as a "white female" in the incident report. Obviously, the TV commentator has some serious issues with race that she cannot even report accurately what happened.

Then there is Chris Matthews and his black sidekick who were amazed and incredulous that the wiseguy black Harvard Professor "Skip" Gates could have possibly made the statement "ya I'll speak with yo mama outside" and thereby insinuating that Officer Crowley was indeed a racist as Gates accused him of being, and a liar to boot.   I hope they enjoy their beer at the White House.

Is it any wonder that someone who received a college education and job promotions based upon racial characteristics could act like such an idiot?

Obama Visit Brings Hope to Europe

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com

President Obama's stopovers in Germany and France will do much to heal the acrimony of war and religious persecution, calling to mind President Kennedy's Berlin speech in 1963. Germany is key to the revitalization of Europe. Obama's visits to Buchenwald and Dresden are helpful to Germany in overcoming the guilt associated with past mistakes. Obama is himself partly German, being descended on his mother's side from a 17th century mayor of a town in Baden-Württemberg. This may also explain his authoritarian style of government as an inherited trait.

Fast Food Government

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

In a capitalistic, individualistic society, government oversimplifies everything to a question of dollars and cents. This is because people become isolated and alienated from each other. This type of a bean counter mentality results in gross injustices such as when judges who are charged with protecting human life become instead the agents of destroying life.

World capitalism will destroy itself and collapse in our lifetime. The only question is whether we will organize society rationally and civilly preserving the benefits of a free market economy, or will we fall into tyrannical dictatorship of socialism?

The sensible way to prepare for the coming disaster is not to try and protect your assets, because money itself will become almost worthless, as happened with the collapse of communism in Russia, Eastern and Central Europe. We should follow the example of their recovery by expanding the marketplace to include more people.

The choice will be between the centralization of socialism in which direction we are already headed, or a decentralized distributive system which represents the Third Way option. Most likely, we will end up with something in between.

Jewish Identity

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The question of the genetic origin of the Ashkenazim of Central and Eastern Europe has long been a topic of debate.  This raises the question of whether scientific data is being manipulated to prove preconceived notions or theories.

Arthur Koestler's belief that the Ashkenazim are descended from the Asian tribe of Khazars was once accepted as true.  One study purportedly demonstrated that Ashkenazi Jews were less likely to be descended from Middle Eastern ancestors than were Europeans in the aggregate.  This distortion obviously led to much confusion as new scietific evidence became available.

The most recent studies of Y-chromosome DNA confirm that the Ashkenazim are more likely descended paternally from Middle Eastern ancestors, with about 12.5% of European or Central Asian descent.  Based upon mtDNA studies, it had been thought that the Ashkenizim originated from male Jews from the Middle East perhaps coming as traders and having offspring with local Eastern European women, inasmuch as it could not be determined precisely where the female ancestors were from, although it appeared that there were many different origins.  Later studies in Israel tend to establish that like the male ancestors, the female ancestors also came from the Middle East and that about 40% of the present day Ashkenazim descend from just four founding mothers of Middle Eastern origin, and the remaining 60% being more likely of Middle Eastern descent as well.  This tends to agree with the changing definition of Jewishness based upon descent from the mother at the time of settlement.

Among rabbinical descendants, it is noteworthy that the Cohanim priesthood does apparently descend paternally from a single Middle Eastern ancestor corresponding to Aaron the brother of Moses.  The Levitical priesthood among the Ashkenazim, on the other hand, is over 50% descended paternally from the local European population, probably due to the descendants of an early single male ancestor who was a convert to Judaism.

None of this is conclusive with regard to the total genetic makeup, which could be more or less of European or other descent, because the markers determining paternal or maternal ancestry only make up a small part of the total DNA.  In this regard, it could be that Jewish children with some European descent were more likely to become converts to Christianity in Europe, so that their non-Middle Eastern genes were not as likely to show up later in the gene pool.

Beyond Capitalism

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

All government decisions must always be informed by moral considerations.  Life in society is conditioned according to whether or not our laws are based upon moral truth, or are instead used solely to generate revenue for the greedy in society.  Our nation's forefathers understood that to govern wisely, the members of society must adhere to moral principles.  Since morality is based upon truth, religion plays a key role in forming consciences as a safeguard of the truth.  Not all religions are equal.  There can be only one true religion since God is One, not many.  To the extent that society bases its laws on the truth which is preserved for each generation in the Christian religion, only to that extent will a nation be governed well and justly in our time.

Capitalism as an economic system has evolved over time.  It is a mistake to look back nostalgically to bygone days and defend capitalism on that basis.  Capitalism exists where society values and protects property.  However, when laws do not conform to objective reality, then the safeguards for protection of property fall apart.  Individuals lose their security of person and property.

In moving beyond the capitalistic economic model, we must be careful to always adhere to truth.  This means conformity with the Divine Person of Christ. 

Society can be fooled into following one mortal man which would create a form of fascism.  Our people must be on guard against this pitfall of power.  Rather we must strive to always move forward under the banner of Christ.  We should work to remove the inequalities of wealth distribution through solidarity with the poor in America and particularly in the Western Hemisphere.  We can also learn from the countries of the world that have gone before us through the errors of central planning, particularly the lessons from Germany and the nations of central and eastern Europe formerly under communist domination.
