The nemesis of the inferior
Posted on April 30, 2014 by Elements of Racial Education

Racial impoverishment is the scourge of civilization. This insidious disease, with its two symptoms, the extermination of the higher beings and the multiplication of the lower ones, ravaged humanity like a consuming fire, reducing the proudest societies to the state of charred and sordid ruin.
As we have already studied the biological process which perpetuates both higher and lower beings according to their nature, we can now practically examine lower types.
First, let's carefully distinguish between two aspects of inferiority: physical inferiority and mental inferiority. It is mental inferiority that is our main concern. Physically, the human species seems to be up to all the demands that one can have on it. Despite the deleterious aspects of civilization and despite the fact that modern medicine and philanthropy, by their combined action, keep physically weak individuals alive, humanity does not seem threatened with general physical decay. We are the heirs of a physical selection that goes back to the very origin of life, there are dozens, maybe hundreds,millions of years and its beneficial influence is so widespread and profound that a few millennia of partial disruption of its mechanism has produced only superficial effects.
The case of mental inferiority is completely different. The intelligence traits that differentiate man from animals only appeared a few hundred thousand years ago and only really developed in a few human races (1). From a biological point of view, therefore, superior intelligence is a very recent characteristic trait, which is still relatively rare and can easily be lost.
It is obvious that mental superiority is much rarer than physical superiority in the human species. The current savage and barbarian races of a conspicuously low average intelligence level, such as blacks, are physically vigorous and, in fact, possess apparently greater animal vitality than that of the more intelligent races. The same is true for intellectually decadent peoples like those of the Mediterranean, who have lost the great intellectual capacities which were theirs in antiquity, without however physically declining. Ultimately, even among today's most civilized and advanced populations, there is clearly a great disparity between physical superiority and mental superiority.The intelligence tests to which the US military has recently been subjected are a striking example of this (2). Although almost all 1,700,000 young men who were examined were excellent specimens from a developmental standpoint, less than one in twenty servicemen was truly superior in intelligence. So it appears that mental superiority is relatively rare, with most men being mentally either mediocre or inferior.or lower.or lower.
We have also seen that civilized life has hitherto tended to make mental superiority more and more rare and to increase the proportion of mediocre and inferior elements. Indeed, until recent biological discoveries, it was thought that this was a normal phenomenon and not an abnormal one. Our ancestors considered the withering away of the upper strata of society and the multiplication of its lower strata as natural and inevitable. Take, for example, the attitude of the Romans. Roman society was divided into six classes. The sixth lowest social class, made up of the poor, vagrants and degenerates, was exempt from civic duties, military service and taxes. Was this class forbidden to have children? Not at all. On the contrary, she was strongly encouraged to do so.This lees of the Roman population was referred to as “proletarians”, “progenitors” (3)! In other words, a man could be exempted from the fulfillment of civic duties, exempt from military obligations and taxes, but be considered not only as capable of reproducing, but as particularly suitable for having children, which were considered his contribution. to the society. Consider what this attitude implies in racial matters! It is no wonder that Rome collapsed (4)! However, we must not forget that this was the attitude of most of our grandparents and that it is still the attitude of millions of supposedly "educated" people. Here again, we can clearly see the harmful influence of the past, which perpetuates old errors and prevents the effective dissemination of new truths.
This mixture of old and new forces is actually the main cause of the acuteness of our social and racial problems. The traditional influences that are at the root of the weakening of the breed are more active than ever, to say the least. On the other hand, many new factors like education for all, high standard of living, preventive medicine and birth control, which could all contribute powerfully to the improvement of the breed, have so far especially contributed to racial weakening, by accelerating both the social sterilization of superior individuals and the preservation of inferior.
Never, perhaps, have social conditions been so “dysgenic”, so destructive of racial values, than today. “In the early days of society, humans did little to interfere with natural selection. But, in the last century, the development of the philanthropic spirit and the progress of medicine largely contributed to disrupt the selective process. In some ways, selection in mankind has almost ceased; in fact, in many ways it is reversed, that is, it makes the lower survive rather than the upper one. In the past, the criminal was summarily executed, the weak child would die soon after birth for lack of proper medical care, madmen were treated so brutally that, if they were not killed by their treatment,they were at least considered hopelessly "incurable" and had little chance of becoming parents. All of these measures were harsh, but to some extent they guaranteed the purity of the germplasm.
"Where are we today? The incapable, the wasteful, the physically, mentally and morally handicapped are carefully preserved at the expense of the State. The criminal is released on parole after a few years in prison to become a father. The madman is authorized to leave the asylum “cured” to fulfill his duties as a citizen. The weak child is “educated” as best they can, often to the detriment of his normal brother or his normal sister. In short, undesirable people, to whom the bloody hand of natural selection would have settled their account at a young age, are now treated until their old age ”(5). And, as noted earlier, factors like birth control, education, and a high standard of living are simultaneously suppressing the higher elements at an unprecedented rate.
This is the situation. What should be done ? Return to the sinister methods of "natural selection"? Of course not. No sane person could advocate such a thing. Not only would it offend our moral sense, but it would perform far worse than other methods of breed improvement that science has already discovered and developed. This is the encouraging aspect of the situation. Although our current situation is critical, we must not waste precious time scaffolding theoretical solutions. Science, especially that branch of science known as eugenics or breed improvement, shows us a way that is both far more efficient and infinitely more humane than the crude and damaging methods of natural selection, which ,if it eliminated most of the bad ones, it nevertheless carried away many good elements. Science, therefore, offers us a means of escaping imminent perils, not by a return to natural selection, but by means of improved social selection based on natural law instead of being, as until here, on ignorance and chance. The detailed discussion of the eugenics program will be postponed to the last chapter of this book. In the meantime, let us continue our examination of human inferiority, to better understand how urgent the application of eugenic measures to society has become.but through improved social selection based on natural law instead of, as hitherto, ignorance and chance.

Inferiority is most clearly seen in what are called the "deficient classes" - the morons, the foolish, and certain categories of the ill-trained and sick. Most of these "deficient" are carriers of hereditary defects, in other words defects which are transmitted in the germplasm from generation to generation. No natural line of demarcation really separates the "deficient classes" from the rest of the population. This term is simply used for groups of people who have such deficiencies that they can be classified as such. In addition to these great deficiencies, a large number of people have only small defects, while still others reveal absolutely no external defect,however, their germplasm is affected by a latent or "recessive" defect which can manifest in their children, particularly if they marry people with the same defect.
Debility (or, as it is often called, "impairment") is therefore seen as a problem as complex as it is serious. The deficient are more or less incapable of occupying useful positions in the social order and tend to sink into the depths of society, where they form those destitute, vagrant and criminal elements who also represent a burden and a threat. for the society. Most people who have not studied the problem of disability do not know how serious it is. Let us examine these "deficient classes".
First of all, the fool. Foolishness is a condition characterized by such traits as narrow-minded intelligence, lack of morals, lack of self-control, helplessness, improvidence, etc. It is highly hereditary and unfortunately is often associated with stamina and vitality, so fools always breed quickly with no regard for the consequences. In the past, the number of fools was limited by the rigorous process of natural selection, but modern charity and philanthropy have protected them and thus fostered their rapid multiplication. Fools are now becoming a more and more serious problem in all civilized countries. It is estimated that there are at least 300,000 people with imbecility in the United States. Over the past decades,it is certain that a great number of the most serious cases have been isolated in institutions, where they are obviously prevented from recurring; but even today the number of those isolated there is only about 10 or 15 percent of those who should unquestionably be placed in institutions - in the meantime, the rest are causing endless trouble to the present generations and future.
The speed with which herds of fools spread and the damage they cause is vividly illustrated by numerous scientific studies (6). These studies lead to the same conclusions in Europe and the United States: imbeciles isolate themselves in "clans", proliferate like cancerous growths, disrupt social life, infect the blood of entire communities and experience the absurd efforts that are made. to “improve their lot”, charity and other forms of social service (7).
A typical case is that of the Juke family, which was examined first in 1877, then in 1915. To quote the original study: “of a lazy wanderer nicknamed Juke, born in New York State in 1720, whose two sons married to five degenerate sisters, came from six generations counting about 1200 people all more or less idle, wicked, lustful, indigent, sick, stupid, mad and criminal. Out of the seven generations, 300 died in infancy; 310 were beggars, who spent a total of 2300 years in hospices; 440 were physically destroyed by their own "sickly cruelty"; more than half of the women have fallen into prostitution; 130 were convicted of murder; there were 60 thieves; 7 murderers; only 20 learned a trade, 10 of them in a state prison,at a cost of more than $ 1,250,000 (8). By 1915, the clan was in its ninth generation and had significantly worsened its case. It then numbered 2,820 individuals, half of whom were alive. By 1880 the Jukes had left their region of origin and scattered all over the country, but the change of environment had not brought about any significant change in their nature, for they were still "so foolish, indolent, licentious. and dishonest, even when they were not handicapped by the negative connotations of their last name and despite the fact that they lived in better social conditions ”(9). They then cost the state about $ 2,500,000. As the researcher notes, all this evil could have been avoided, if the first Jukes had been prevented from reproducing. As it is,the case of the Juke is even worsening, because, in 1915, "of some 600 Jukes imbeciles and epileptics currently alive, only three are in care establishments" (10).
The “Kallikak” (11) family from New Jersey is a good illustration of how superiority and degeneration are similarly rigidly determined by heredity. During the War of Independence, a certain Martin "Kallikak", a young soldier of good race, had an illicit relationship with an imbecile servant, by whom he had a son. A few years later, Martin married a woman of good family who bore him several legitimate children. Here is what happened: The legitimate children Martin had with the good-bred woman came along and founded one of the most distinguished families in New Jersey. “In this family and its collateral branches, we only find good citizens. There are doctors, lawyers, judges, educators, traders, farmers, in short, respectable citizens,distinguished men and women in all areas of social life. They have spread to the United States and play a leading role in their communities, wherever they have been… in this family, there has been no fool; no illegitimate child; no immoral woman; it has only one debauchery (12). The descendants of the imbecile woman are clearly distinguished from this branch of the family. We found traces of 480 of them. Here is what it is: 143 proven imbeciles, 36 illegitimate children, 33 depraved (especially prostitutes), 24 notorious alcoholics, 3 epileptics, 82 deaths in infancy, 3 criminals, 8 brothel keepers. Two families may have the same paternal filiation, live on the same ground, in the same atmosphere and more or less in the same environment,"One bears the stigmata of bastardism in each generation and the other is devoid of it" (13).
Examples of depressing genealogies like these could be multiplied almost indefinitely. And, let us note it well, they represent only direct and visible damage. The indirect and less visible damage caused by imbecility, although more difficult to determine, is much more widespread and is undoubtedly even more serious, as we will show next. But, before we consider this point, let's study some of the other deeply deficient classes.
The fool, while markedly different from the fool, is an even bigger problem in many ways. Of course, "insanity" is a term that covers all kinds of abnormal mental states, some of which are transient, while others, though incurable, are not genetic and therefore have no racial significance. But many forms of insanity are unmistakably hereditary (14) and the damage caused by these corrupt strains, when they spread throughout the breed and infect healthy strains, is simply incalculable.
Unlike imbecility, insanity is often associated with truly superior qualities, (15) which can make individuals with it extremely dangerous to society. Fools have never overthrown a state. Essentially negative elements, they can cause a civilization to sink into decay, but they are not intelligent enough to upset it. On the other hand, lunatics can be deeply dynamic and misuse their powers for the purpose of destruction. We will soon see that many apostles of anarchic violence and furious protest were unbalanced. Of course, these people are rarely “crazy” in the technical sense of “internables”.They simply represent one aspect of that vast "fringe" of insanity which is widespread among the great mass of the population. However, there are many serious cases of internment. In the United States, for example, more than 200,000 people are interned and it is well known that, in addition to those in institutions, there are a multitude of other individuals with equally dementia who are under the control. custody of their relatives or at large.there are a multitude of other individuals with equally dementia who are in the care of relatives or at large.there are a multitude of other individuals with equally dementia who are in the care of relatives or at large.
Another category of severely impaired people is epileptics. Epilepsy is certainly inherited, as it is probably due, like imbecility and hereditary madness, to certain factors which cause abnormal development in the germ plasma. Like insanity, it is often associated with higher mental qualities, but it is even more often associated with imbecility and its victims tend to be dangerously antisocial; epilepsy is frequently linked to the worst acts of violence. The multiplication of epileptics in healthy strains is undoubtedly disastrous, because it causes serious social dangers and deplorable racial damage.
In addition to these exceptional causes of degeneration, there are certain other forms of impairment which, although not very serious individually, on the whole represent a heavy burden on society and a burden on the race. These can be classified as congenital deafness and blindness, certain types of deformity and certain hereditary diseases such as Huntington's chorea. All of these defects, being hereditary, inflict repeated damage from generation to generation and tend to develop in healthy strains.
Thus ends our depressing study of the "deficient classes". In all civilized countries, the total number of their members is enormous, and under present social conditions it is increasing rapidly. In the United States, for example, an estimated 1,000,000 total people manifestly suffer from imbecility, insanity or epilepsy. And, as noted above, even this alarming total simply represents people suffering from the most extreme forms of the defects which are prevalent in the great mass of the population. The extent of this contamination is revealed by several studies by competent independent researchers who all consider that more than 30 percent of the entire population of the United States is affected by some form of mental defect (16). Certainly,the defect is largely latent in germ plasma and has no effect on carriers. However, the defects do exist and can appear in their children, especially if they marry people affected by a similar hereditary defect.
And, even if we do not take into account purely latent impairments, the problem posed by those who actually suffer from less acute forms of impairment than those previously described is of practically incalculable seriousness for society and the race. There is no doubt that inefficiency, stupidity, pauperism, crime and other forms of anti-social conduct are due in large part (perhaps even primarily) to atavistic degeneration. Careful scientific surveys conducted in many countries on the poor, tramps, criminals, prostitutes, chronic alcoholics, drug addicts, etc., have all revealed that a high percentage of them are mentally retarded (17 ). When we add the countless good-for-nothing to these failures,from the “unemployable” day laborers to the “eccentrics” who squander or pervert their talents, we are beginning to realize the truly terrible action of atavistic degeneration, which, generation after generation, infects and corrupts good strains, imposes more costs. heavy and threatens the future of civilization.
Because degeneration really threatens civilization. The presence of huge hordes of congenital inferior - incapable, discontented and unruly - threatens the social order with disintegration and disorganization (18).
Biologist Humphrey aptly describes the perils of the situation. "Thus," he writes, "the army of the mediocre believes in all civilized countries, and by addition as new incompetence is revealed and by its own rapid multiplication; and it is at this level that the human precipitate of all the degenerative influences at work in civilization ends up being deposited. It is already a threat of great magnitude, but in America we are very successful in hiding the extent and the speed of its development with reassuring charities. And most of us prefer to remain blind to the increasing proportion of poor human material. Man is primarily interested in energy, strength, success. He turns his back on those who fail, until the day when, to his great displeasure,strength in numbers puts them in sight.
"When we examine the last days of the Roman Empire and discover the many public entertainments that were organized there to amuse and control the hordes of antisocials who had dangerously accumulated there, the question arises of know how soon our own asocial masses will become rebellious. (19) One thing is certain: our more humanitarian methods are bringing us closer to that fatal day at a faster rate. And the attachment we pride ourselves on showing to our country is no cure for mental incompetence. Police records in our cities show that the criminals who suddenly come out of nowhere at the slightest loosening of police control were mostly born in the United States and that there are very few illiterates among them; However,their animal instincts regain the upper hand as spontaneously as in the Russian arrears.
“It is ridiculous to entertain the illusion that more democracy and more education will turn the born into good citizens. Democracy was never designed for degenerates (20) and a nation that breeds individuals who must continually be suppressed is unwilling to extend democratic freedoms. It is inevitable that class lines will widen in response to the growing number of bastards, as in all previous cultures. However distant the cataclysm, what our race is heading towards is social chaos or dictatorship.
“In the meantime, we provoke social unrest by promoting confused ideas of equality. Democracy, as we freely idealize it these days, is an exaggerated representation of earthly happiness; it encourages fools to hope for an impossible leveling of human beings. All we can reasonably hope to achieve is a fair leveling of opportunity; but each step taken to reach this goal reveals more distinctly these fundamental hereditary inequalities which no action on the environment can reduce. The most dissatisfied are those who are least able to seize an opportunity when offered to them ”(21).
In this regard, we must never forget that it is the “big” deficient ones who are the most dangerous for the social order. It is the "little genius", the man whose fatal mark perverts talents, who most often excites and leads the crowd. The egalitarian social revolutionary doctrines of our time, such as syndicalism, anarchism, and Bolshevism, superficially alluring, but fundamentally wrong and destructive, are essentially the product of deranged thinking - deranged brains. Sociologist Nordau does a good job of analyzing the enormous damage that these people and doctrines cause not only by awakening the degenerate elements, but also by leading astray a large number of common people who are biologically normal,but whose intelligence is not high enough to protect them from clever fallacies adorned with fervent appeals.
Nordau writes: “Besides the extreme forms of degeneration, there are more benign, more or less inapparent ones, impossible to diagnose at first glance. These are, however, the most dangerous for the community, because their destructive influence is felt only gradually; we are not suspicious of it; indeed, in many cases we do not recognize them as the real cause of the evils they reveal - evils of which no one can doubt the great importance. "
“A crank or a fool, driven by visceral hatred, sets up his subjective state in a system based on pessimism, in Weltschmertz - in spleen. Another, in whom a loveless egoism dominates all thought and feelings, so that everyone outside seems hostile to him, organizes his anti-social instincts into anarchism. A third, who suffers from moral insensitivity, so that no bond of sympathy unites him to his fellows or to any other living being and who is inhabited by a vanity bordering on megalomania, preaches a doctrine of the superman, which does not know what esteem and compassion are and is not subject to any moral principle, but “lives his life” without considering others. When these fools, as is often the case, speak emphatically - when their imaginations,not contained by logic or intelligence, provides them with strange, sensational ideas and surprising associations and images - their writings make a strong impression on gullible readers and easily exert a decisive influence on thought in cultivated circles of their own. time.
“Of course, balanced people do not become disciples of these morbid cults. But the preaching of these deranged fosters the development of similar dispositions in other people and serves to polarize, in their own sense, still uncertain tendencies and to give thousands of individuals the courage to think and act to an open, impudent, boastful manner, in accordance with convictions which, without these noisy and flirtatious theorists, they would have found absurd or infamous, which they would have concealed with shame or which would in any case have remained monsters known only to them and imprisoned in the depths of their conscience. "
“Thus, the teachings of degenerate fools create conditions which, unlike cases of insanity and crime, cannot be accurately assessed, but can nonetheless be defined by their political and social effects. We observe more and more a general weakening of morality, a growing lack of logic in thought and in action, morbid irritability and indecision in public opinion, slackening of character. Crimes are treated with a frivolous or sentimental indulgence which encourages rascals of all kinds. People lose all sense of moral outrage and become accustomed to viewing it with contempt as something trite, backward, inelegant and stupid.Acts that would once forever ban a man from public life are no longer an obstacle to his career, so that shady and corrupt figures can rise to positions of responsibility, sometimes take over public affairs. Common sense is more and more rarely and less and less appropriately appreciated, more and more underestimated. No one is shocked by the most absurd proposals, measures and fashions, and madness reigns in legislation, administration, in domestic policy as in foreign policy. All demagogues find an audience, all imbeciles gather followers, all events have an excessive impact, arouse ridiculous enthusiasm, spread morbid dismay,trigger violent protests one way or the other and official procedures that are at the very least unnecessary, often deplorable and dangerous. Everyone clings to their "rights" and revolts against any limitation of their arbitrary desires, by law or custom. Everyone tries to escape the constraint of discipline and get rid of the burden of duty (22) ”.
This is the destructive action of degeneration, which spreads like cancer and threatens to eat away at society to the core. Against these assaults of inferiority; against the intelligently led legions of degenerates and backwards; where can civilization look for its champions? Only in the sparse ranks of those who are racially superior - those “A” and “B” lineages that, in America, for example, we know today constitute barely 13% of the population? It is this "red line" of rich, pure blood that separates us from barbarism or chaos. This is our only hope. Let us not allow ourselves to be fooled by gossip about “government”, “education”, “democracy”: our laws, our constitutions, our sacred books themselves, are, in the final analysis, simple paper barriers,which will only hold out as long as there are men and women behind them who have the intelligence to understand them and the strength of soul to maintain them.
However, not only is this a meager lifeline for civilization, it is dwindling at a rate that appeals to those who are fully aware of the facts. We have already affirmed that never perhaps in human history have social conditions been so destructive of racial values ​​as they are today, both because of the elimination of superior lines and because of the multiplication of lower.
There is a dangerous mistake that we must get out of our heads: the mistake of judging human populations by what we see among the wild varieties of plants and animals.
Among the latter we observe a marked stability of the type and we are led to conclude that, for man as for other forms of life, "evolution is a slow process" in which a few generations do not weigh heavily and therefore that we don't need to worry too much about breed improvement measures because we have “plenty of time”.
This is a perilous illusion! and further proof of the confusion of our thinking and the superficiality of our knowledge of the laws of life. A little more intelligent reflection would show us the profound dissimilarity of the two cases. Animals and plants (when they have not been "domesticated" by man) live in the "state of nature", where they are subject to the virtually invariable action of "natural selection". Their germplasm varies in quality like human germplasm (as well established by competent breeders like Luther Burbank); but, in either case, natural selection eliminates only a limited series of characteristics, so that the race does not change; while civilized man, who lives in conditions which he himself created,replaces natural selection with various social selections which produce very profound and rapid changes.
There is one point we must keep in mind: how quickly the qualities of a species can be altered by a change in biological selection. It is literally astonishing to observe how humanity has wasted its energy for such a long time trying in vain to change existing individuals, instead of changing race by determining which existing individuals should reproduce and which should not. not recur (23). Of course, racial changes due to social selection existed before man discovered them; they exist from all eternity. The problem is, instead of lifting humanity to the top, as they could have done, if they had been cleverly oriented, they were random and generally caused decay and ruin.
The mind-boggling speed with which a particular strain can either grow or be eliminated in a given population can be precisely determined by comparing its rate of increase with that of the rest of the population. And the determining factor in this rate of growth is what is called the "differential fertility rate". It has long been known that free-breeding populations tend to increase extremely quickly. But what holds for a population as a whole also applies to each of its constituent parts. So, in any given population, the fastest reproducing elements will dominate the average character of the nation - and do so at an ever increasing rate.Take a relatively low differential fertility rate as an example to show how barely noticeable differences from year to year can transform the racial landscape entirely within a few generations. Or two strains each formed of 1000 individuals, one of which is just below the reproductive threshold, while the other is growing at the same rate as the English population - which is far from having a high fertility rate. A year later, the first strain will only number 996 individuals; a century later, it will have fallen to 687 individuals and, after two centuries, it will total only 492. Conversely, the second strain will have 1013 a year later, 3600 a century later and approximately 13,000 two centuries later. In other words,at the end of one hundred years (after three or four generations) the most prolific strain would be six times more numerous and, after two centuries, thirty times more numerous than the least prolific. Assuming that the less prolific strain had great ability, while the most prolific strain was mediocre or inferior, one can measure the impoverishment of the race and the retreat of civilization.
This example has been purposely simplified by combining other factors such as differential rates of mortality and marriage, which should be considered separately in assessing the relative rates of growth of different groups or lineages. But it does give a fairly accurate picture of the current average difference in net fertility between the very superior and the poor in the major nations of the civilized world, while dramatically downplaying the fertility of the distinctly inferior elements. What is frightening is that in almost all civilized countries the birth rate of the upper elements has declined rapidly over the past fifty years and that today, despite a sharply declining death rate, their number is stationary, or even decreasing;while the other elements increase in proportion to their mediocrity and inferiority. These facts have been demonstrated by a multitude of scientific research carried out throughout Europe and the United States (24).
We can accurately determine a group's reproductive threshold by observing its death rate and marriage rate and then estimating the average number of legitimate children. Looking at the civilized world as a whole, it has been established that it would take around four children per marriage for a strain to reproduce. In some countries like Australia and New Zealand and some of the high quality groups, where death rates are very low, an average of three children per marriage may be enough for a lineage to reproduce, but it seems be the bare minimum.
Given this minimum level of fertility, what do we actually see? We find that in Europe (excluding the very backward countries) the upper elements of the population have on average two to four children per marriage; that mediocre elements have an average of four to six children per marriage; that the lower elements, as a whole, have an average of six to seven and a half children per marriage, while the lower elements, such as day laborers, the poor and the handicapped, taken separately, have on average seven to eight children (including illegitimate births, of course). The differential fertility rates in the different districts of large European cities are typical. A few years before the last war,French sociologist Bertillon found that in Paris and Berlin births in poor neighborhoods were at least three times as many as births in better residential areas, while in London and Vienna they were about two and a half times more numerous.
Conditions are no better in the US than in Europe - in some ways they seem to be rather worse. Outside of the South and parts of the West, old American strains do not reproduce, the birth rates of immigrants from Western and Northern Europe are falling rapidly, while the birth rates of the immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe remain high, even though they are declining very slightly. American intellectual categories are much less fertile than similar European categories. The average number of children per married graduate from major US universities like Harvard and Yale is about two, while it is about one and a half at major women's universities. In addition,student marriage rates are so low that, when considering both married and single graduates, the statistical average is about one and a half children per student and less than one child per student. Professor Cattell looked at the family sizes of 440 American scientists, choosing only those cases in which the parents' ages indicated the family was complete. Despite a very low death rate, the birth rate was so much lower that, as he himself remarks, “it is obvious that families do not perpetuate themselves. Scientists under the age of fifty, 261 of whom have complete families, have an average of 1.88 children, of which about 12 percent die before the age of marriage. We don't know how many of them will get married,but only about 75 percent of Harvard and Yale graduates get married; only 50 percent of female college graduates marry. A scientist has an average of 0.7 adult sons. If three-quarters of her sons and grandsons marry and their families continue to be the same size, 1,000 scientists will have around 350 grandsons to marry their names and hereditary traits. The extermination of the matrilineal lineage will be even faster ”(25). These numbers contrast starkly with the high birth rates in the working-class neighborhoods of America's major cities. In New York City, for example, the East Side birth rate is more than four times that of the residential birth rate. Regarding similar conditions in Pittsburgh,where the birth rate in the poorest neighborhoods is three times that of the better residential areas, Popence and Johnson note: “The significance of these numbers in relation to natural selection is obvious. In Pittsburgh, as is probably the case with all major cities in civilized countries, the dregs are reproducing. The less intelligent a class, the more it contributes to reproduction. Taking into account that intelligence is inherited and dogs don't make cats, there is nothing to celebrate with the quality of Pittsburgh's population in a few generations. "(26).“The significance of these numbers in relation to natural selection is obvious. In Pittsburgh, as is probably the case with all major cities in civilized countries, the dregs are reproducing.

"(26).there is nothing to celebrate with the quality of Pittsburgh's population in a few generations. "(26).
Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that these differential fertility rates pose even more complex problems for America than they pose for Europe; because, while in Europe they mainly entail changes in group intelligence, in America they also mean changes of race with all that that implies modifications of temperaments, ideals and fundamental national institutions. And that is precisely what is taking place in many parts of America. New England, for example, once the breeding ground for the ambitious and intelligent "race" of the Yankees, which thronged by the millions in the West, continues to lose its character as an Anglo-Saxon region. In Massachusetts,the fertility rate of foreign-born women is two and a half times higher than the native fertility rate; in New Hampshire, twice; in Rhode Island, one and a half times - the most prolific foreign groups being Poles, Jews, Jewish Russians, Russians-Poles, Southern Italians and French Canadians. What this may mean in a few generations is indicated by a calculation by biologist Davenport, who said that, at current reproductive rates, 1,000 today's Harvard graduates would have only fifty offspring in two centuries, while 1000 Romanians from Boston, at the rate they are currently breeding, would have 100,000 offspring in the same space of time.one and a half times - the most prolific foreign groups being Poles, Jews, Jewish Russians, Russians-Poles, Southern Italians and French Canadians.

Going back to a more general aspect of the problem, it is clear that in both Europe and America the quality of the population is deteriorating, as the smartest and most gifted groups decline in a relative or absolute way. This constitutes nothing less than a mortal threat to civilization as well as to the race. Let's take a look at how the psychological experts who developed the intelligence tests to which the US military was subjected characterized the higher categories of intelligence. Category A males were described as “capable of successfully completing their university studies”; men in categories B as being "able to go to university"; category C men as being "seldom able to finish high school" and,Based on military ratings, almost 75 percent of the entire current US population does not even fall into Category C!
Since it is likely that the American population (with the exception of its immigrant groups from southern and eastern Europe and its blacks) attains on average a level of intelligence more or less as high than the peoples of Northern Europe, it is not difficult to predict that if intelligence continues to withdraw from the race at the present rate, civilization will either collapse, or crash abruptly for want of superiorly intelligent men. . The fatal consequences of a near total brain shortage are well described by Professor McDougall in the following lines: “The civilization of America depends on your ability to continue to produce category A and category B men in large numbers. And, currently, Category A males are 4 percent, Category B males 9 percent, and,as the lower part of the curve indicates, it is mostly category C males who breed. Category A males and B males, higher education graduates, are not having enough children, while the population is growing tremendously. At this rate, in a few generations, won't Category A males and even Category B males have become as rare as white elephants, making up only a fraction of 1 percent? It is more than likely.Won'tegory A males and even Category B males have become as rare as white elephants, making up only a fraction of 1 percent? It is more than likely.Won'tegory A males and even Category B males have become as rare as white elephants, making up only a fraction of 1 percent? It is more than likely.
“Currently, the whole curve tends to tilt in the wrong direction. And this probably also applies to moral qualities, as well as to intellectual stature. If the time comes when your category A and B men are only 1 percent, or even less, of the population - what will become of your civilization?
“Allow me to present my arguments more concretely, in relation to one of the major essential professions, which I have some knowledge of having exercised, namely the medical profession. Two hundred or one hundred years ago, the knowledge to be acquired by a medical student before practicing his profession formed a relatively small set of rules of thumb. The progress of civilization has multiplied this knowledge enormously, and the very existence of our civilized societies depends on the continued and effective application of this vast body of medical art and science. The acquisition and judicious application of this mass of knowledge require infinitely more effort from one who wants to be a practitioner than did the mastery of all the rules of our ancestors. Therefore,the duration of the prescribed course of study for our medical students should be constantly lengthened; she is now six years old.
“The students who follow this long and rigorous course are already a chosen body. They passed high school. It is legitimate to think that the great majority of them belong to group A or B, or at least to group C +, in the intelligence scale which had been established for the army.
“What is, I ask you, the proportion of them who have shown themselves capable of assimilating the vast body of medical knowledge and of applying it intelligently and effectively? If I dare to generalize from my own experience, I would say that a very considerable proportion, even of those who have passed their exams, fail to assimilate them effectively. The mass of modern medical knowledge is too vast for their capacity for assimilation, its complexity too great for their power of comprehension. However, medical science continues to develop and become more complex and the community is increasingly dependent on it.
“In this profession, which is more and more demanding on the intellectual and moral qualities of its members (27), the need for category A and B men increases regularly and the reserve decreases regularly with each generation.
“And what is valid for this profession seems to be valid for all the great professions and all the great vocations. Our civilization, because of its growing complexity, is more and more demanding on the qualities of its carriers. The qualities of these carriers decrease or deteriorate instead of improving (28) ”.
The broad aspects of the problem are cleverly posed by Whetham who writes: “When we examine the birth rate that our social structure is currently experiencing, we find that the groups in which it is highest are those who, like the fools and the mad, lack an intelligent personality, or, like most unemployed workers and day laborers, appear to be either without ideals or a way of expressing them. In all the social groups which have so far distinguished themselves by their cohesion, their industry, their good physical and mental capacities, their faculties of organization and administration, the birth rate is no longer high enough for the nation retains these qualities. Great men are rare;the personality of the group is more and more indistinct and the personality of the race, which has stood for success in the past, is therefore on the wane, while the forces of chaos are once again at work among us, ready to to unleash themselves and destroy civilization, when the superior types will no longer be in sufficient number to guide, control or subdue them (29) ”.
The unprecedented speed of our racial impoverishment seems to be due, as already said, to many causes, some old and some new. We have seen that the suffocating complexity of great civilizations has always tended to eliminate the higher strains by diverting their energy from racial ends to individual or social ends, resulting in an increase in celibacy, late marriage and a decrease in Fertility. Most of the phenomena that are at the root of these racially destructive phenomena can be grouped into two categories: the high cost of living and the cost of living. These two general expressions cover a multitude of special factors such as rising prices, high standard of living, taste for luxury, social rivalry, inefficient government,high taxation and (last and not the least) the pressure of more and more masses of ignoble, incompetent individuals, who are so many grains of sand in the social cogs and who, through relief, care, education, police surveillance, etc., which they require, consume an ever greater part of the national wealth and energy.
Now, all these various factors, whatever their nature, have this in common: they tend to make children an increasingly heavy burden on the higher individual, as necessary as these children may be for civilization and the race. The point is that, under present conditions, relatively few good people can afford to properly raise and educate large families of children. This is the fundamental reason for the sharp decline in the birth rates of the upper and middle classes of all civilized countries over the past half century. Of course, the fall was accelerated by the simultaneous discovery of several methods of contraception which are grouped under the term "birth control". However,It is not so much the new methods as the strong economic and social pressures that have been exerted to use them that explain the rapid decline in the fertility rate. Under the conditions of modern life, a sharp drop in the birth rate was inevitable. To name just one of the many reasons, advances in medical science have dramatically reduced the death rate and thus made possible a huge net increase in population. If Western nations had not acted to lower the birth rate, they would have been encumbered by low-income human masses like those in Asia.a sharp drop in the birth rate was inevitable.

To escape this fate, the most intelligent and far-sighted elements in all civilized countries quickly began to resort to new methods of contraception and to limit their family size in this way. This sparked a public outcry (largely for religious reasons), and in most countries (30) the dissemination of contraceptive information was made illegal. This measure was extremely stupid - and disastrous. Far-sighted nations should have realized that with the emergence of new social factors such as falling death rates, rising costs of living and improving standards of living, a low birth rate was simply inevitable;that civilized people could not reproduce and would not breed like animals, as they once did, when life was not expensive, standard of living was low and birth rate was high was offset by the uncontrolled ravages of death.
But, with the reduction in the birth rate inevitable, it remained to be seen how and by whom it should be reduced. Should it be done by traditional methods such as celibacy (tempered by illicit sexual relations and prostitution), raising the age of marriage, infanticide and abortion (31); or by new methods of contraception? Once again: should we reduce the birth rate of all sections of the population or only that of the smartest classes? Unfortunately for the breed, this was the last solution that prevailed. Instead of giving information on contraception to the masses and thus alleviating as much as possible the evils of a differential birth rate harmful for the race,society succeeded in keeping the masses in the dark and keeping their fertility rates high, but failed to shield the smartest contraceptive propaganda, who increasingly practiced birth control - and had fewer children.
Here a great potential instrument of breed improvement has been perverted into an agent of breed decay. With blind submission to crude numbers and with utter disregard for quality, society has deliberately favored the lower elements over the upper ones. The results are those we have already examined in our study of today's differential birth rates.
This concludes our study on the general factors of the impoverishment of the race. Before concluding, however, one particular most deplorable factor should be noted - the Great War. The Great War was undoubtedly the most terrible disaster that has ever happened to mankind. The racial losses were certainly as great as the material losses. Not only has the war itself destroyed invaluable racial values, but its consequences are hardly less racial. Poor social conditions and the appallingly high cost of living continue to reduce birth rates for all classes except that of the most thoughtless and reckless elements, whose rise is more of a curse than a blessing.
To consider just one of the many causes that keep the birth rate of the upper sections of the population low, consider the crushing burden of taxation across Europe, which in particular keeps the middle and upper classes from s 'increase. The Sunday Reviewfrom London made it very clear in an editorial: “A man whose annual salary is £ 2,000 the tax collector takes £ 600. The remaining 1400, owing to depreciation of money, have purchasing power roughly equal to that of £ 700 in 1913. No young man will consider marrying less than £ 2000 a year at least if he belongs to the middle or upper classes. As a rule, a man who started from nothing can only achieve an annual salary of £ 2,000 after he is past the age of marriage. Thus, the species will be perpetuated almost exclusively by the working class, of average intelligence. "
In the same vein, the Timesof London describes what he calls "The Death of the Middle Classes" in the following terms: "The point is that with the present cost of living, the present taxation, the present price of houses, it is impossible to found a “Family” in the sense that the term used to be, unless you want to experience not just discomfort, but deprivation and, consequently, deteriorating health. It is therefore much better to raise a healthy child and provide him with an acceptable education than to attempt to raise three children without being able to feed them properly and without the hope of being able to offer them vocational training. But the evil is far from stopping there. It is well known that weddings, especially middle class weddings,are currently being postponed due to difficulties with accommodation and food and there is no doubt that many men are avoiding marriage due to the considerable financial strain it imposes. The world is in a happy mood, the attractions of family life with a salary barely sufficient for two are not numerous. Single, a man can have fun, preserve his freedom of action and allow himself to have fun with his friends. He is not ready to work hard, to have a frugal life, few pleasures and a lot of anguish. "a man can have fun, preserve his freedom of action and allow himself to have fun with his friends. He is not ready to work hard, to have a frugal life, few pleasures and a lot of anguish. "a man can have fun, preserve his freedom of action and allow himself to have fun with his friends. He is not ready to work hard, to have a frugal life, few pleasures and a lot of anguish. "
While the war did not hit America as hard as Europe, the disastrous effects it had on the race is evident here, too. A recent editorial from the New York Timesthus describes not only some of the effects of war, but also some of the consequences of short-sighted philanthropy which penalizes the thrifty and worthy person by pampering the assisted and the foolish. "The statement by Health Commissioner Copeland that the birth rate of Americans is declining relative to the foreign element in our population contains nothing new except the remark that the war has accelerated the decline. It has been obvious for a long time that we could not help but come to this. A large majority of foreigners are employees, whose income has increased sharply, little by little, at the same pace as the cost of living. Americans of American parents (32) are mostly knowledge workers, whose wages have hardly increased.This resulted in a sharp drop in their standard of living, which could not help lowering their already low birth rate. During the war, Charities Commissioner Bird S. Coler reported that for the first time in the history of his Office, educated people who had until then been self-sufficient and worthy members of the middle class had brought their children and told him that they could no longer feed or clothe them.educated people who had until then been self-sufficient and worthy members of the middle class had brought their children to him and told him that they could no longer feed or clothe them.educated people who had until then been self-sufficient and worthy members of the middle class had brought their children to him and told him that they could no longer feed or clothe them.
“Dr. Copeland's statistics on infant mortality lead to the same conclusions. Among infants born to American mothers, the rate is 90 per 1,000 - compared to 79 for French mothers, 75 for Bohemians, 69 for Austro-Hungarians, 64 for Russians, 58 for Swedish and 43 for Scottish. Dr Copeland attributes this difference to the fact that American mothers are less inclined to use the infant health centers available to them by his ministry. Mothers born abroad are "used to being dependent on these and other government agencies." It is death in the soul that, like middle-class parents who brought their children to the Charities Commissioner, Americans are asking for public assistance for their families. Waiting,these Americans, through their taxes, contribute in large part to financing the many "government agencies" which help the immigrant worker and his family. During the war, Henry Fairfield Osborn protested against this injustice on the grounds that it made life impossible for educated Americans, whose home is the bastion of our national traditions.
“The demographic statistics show how serious the situation has become. In 1910, there were 921,318 Native Americans, 1,820,141 Americans of foreign or mixed descent in New York City, and 1,927,703 foreign-born people. Full figures for 1920 are not yet available, but Dr Copeland confirms that the proportion of those whose traditions are of foreign origin is increasing rapidly. His statement ends with an exhortation against birth control, the spirit of which is admirable, but the logic of which is unclear. What he has in mind, obviously, is not birth control, but an increase in births among Americans with a former immigrant background. This is, as he seems to believe, a simple moral question,but his statement shows that this moral question is closely related to modern economic conditions. These were undoubtedly accentuated by the war, but they had simmered for many decades and continue to exert their influence with increasing force. "
Here we are at the heart of the problem. The war, as terrible as it was, only accelerated a racial impoverishment that had been brewing for a long time; than destroying the lifeline of civilization, which was already quite thin, and imparting even more ferocious energy to the rising forces of barbarism and chaos which we will now examine directly.

In pre-Christian Rome, weak children or children with congenital malformations were exposed on the public highway; see M. Gazzo,The exhibition of children in Rome from the archaic period to the end of the empire . The Law of the Twelve Tables, written from - 451 to - 449 BC, prescribes "That the child suffering from a manifest deformity be killed". "Exposure of newborn infants seemed so normal and habitual to Latins that they were astonished that certain foreigners", including Jews, "did not practice it" (Andreau, J., Descat, R., Esclave en Greece and Rome, p. 50). In the Greek sphere, Aristotle recommends “that a law forbid the raising of any deformed child. But, in cases of excessive increase in births (as the level of morals opposes the exposure of any newborn), a numerical limit must therefore be set for procreation, and if couples become fertile at - beyond the legal limit, abortion will be performed before life and sensitivity occur in the embryo ”.

(6) The question, which the author never seems to ask himself, arises, absolutely fundamental for the understanding of the crisis of the modern world, to know what exactly is the nature of those who, not only let the imbecile reproduce in its most monstrous and grotesque forms, but strive by all means to stimulate as much as possible its proliferation: can we think that, as regards the vulgar executants, that is to say politicards in command of high international finance, they are not themselves affected, whether they are white skin or race of color, of one form or another of imbecility? As for those who design and order:of individuals who are endowed at the highest point with this faculty which the author puts on a pedestal and which he considers to be in some way the lifeline of civilization: intelligence. We will come back to that.
For the moment, we will content ourselves with noting that the author has, however, seen the difference to which we are alluding here, when he observes that "Fools never topple a state." Essentially negative elements, they can cause a civilization to sink into decay, but they are not intelligent enough to upset it. ”[Translator's Note]

(15) The extraordinary idea that genius was a form of madness was once very widespread. A thorough scientific investigation has clearly refuted this idea. On the one hand, detailed statistical studies of eminent personalities have shown that there are fewer cases of insanity among them than in the general population. Of course, a considerable number of eminent men have undoubtedly suffered from mental disorders. But it was not these troubles that made them eminent; on the contrary, they were handicaps. A defect was introduced at some point in a lineage of ancestors which until then was a healthy, superior strain and produced this disharmonic combination of qualities.

(18) From the traditional point of view, what the author qualifies as “social order” was not in reality, in “bourgeois” Europe as in the United States, where the bourgeois went to slaughter and the rabble. gentrification, as social chaos, insofar as, to quote R. Guénon, without endorsing the criticisms he made of the “West” without realizing that the influences which contributed to produce this monstrosity are anything but of “western” origin, more “nobody [was] any more in the place which is appropriate to him normally because of his own nature. As soon as the accession to any functions is no longer subject to any legitimate rule, it inevitably results in that everyone will find themselves having to do anything, and often what they are least qualified for;the role he will play in society will be determined, not by chance, which does not exist in reality, but by what can give the illusion of chance, that is to say by the entanglement of all kinds of accidental circumstances; what will intervene the least, it will be precisely the only factor which should count in such a case, we mean the differences of nature which exist between the men.

(19) In the meantime, the pseudo-elites have found a way to make them docile by substituting “fabrication of consent” for coercion.
The expression " manufacturing consentsIs by the Jewish intellectual and co-founder of the Council of Foreign Relations Walter Lippmann. "It is an indirect strategy of behavioral pressure aimed at defusing any resistance to change and the disturbances it provokes upstream by camouflaging any strategic intention against which to resist, so that the conscious steering of the group remains unconscious. to the latter, imperceptible and attributed to a natural evolution of societies for which no one is responsible. “There Is No Alternative!

It is imperative that the piloted subject is the least aware of the existence of the piloting and the pilot, so that the idea of ​​interfering in the mechanism and playing an active role cannot even occur to him. To this end, it seems necessary to make it impossible for the piloted subject to access an overall vision of the system in which he finds himself, a global vision of overhang, general and systemic, which would allow him to go back to the primary causes of the problem. situation. This scrambling operation, which is nothing other than a hacking of the subject's perception and analysis system, will consist in specializing his reasoning skills and fragmenting them on particular tasks,so as to orient their focus in a direction which remains harmless to power ”(Invisible Committee, Max Millo, Gouverner par le chaos, p. 31-32;http://www.fichier-pdf.fr/2013/12/27/gouverner-par-le-chaos/gouverner-par-le-chaos.pdf ).
Let us add that one of the first conditions to ensure the effectiveness of this technique of social engineering was, in the nineteenth century, the artificial creation of crowds, of masses, in the midst of which the individual tends not to be more. aware that a hypnotized; this state of suggestibility has been precisely described by G. le Bon. The Jew Edward Bernays, one of the fathers of “public relations” and one of the pioneers of “marketing”, relied on his uncle S. Freud's concept of the unconscious to develop techniques for manipulating public opinion. "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses," he says in Propaganda, is an important part of a democratic society. Those who manipulate this invisible mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the real ruling force of the country ”. [Translator's Note]
(20) Historically, however, in "western" countries the proliferation of degenerates is contemporaneous with the establishment of democracy. It is true that, if "degenerates are costly to society", they bring in a lot of money, through "services" - from " fast food " to "SMS" - that they "offer" to them in the part of the " tittytainment ", to some "500" satraps who, behind the scenes, are at the controls of the drunken boat of democracy.
Since the beginning of the 2000s, the rumor has been spreading on the “web” that the pseudo-elite have prepared a plan to reduce “humanity” to some five hundred million people - the disabled would be particularly targeted; heaps of papers, heaps of videos speak of it with consummate sensationalism and, in a style no less apocalyptic and in a solemn tone, the "resistance to the New World Order", especially those with prophetic gifts, do so. automatically echo - the disabled would be particularly targeted.

(23) Indeed, as J. Evola underlines, “… in demography, we cannot limit ourselves to the purely quantitative criterion (giving birth to the greatest possible number of children), because it is also necessary to consider the quality and , therefore, to ask what kind of children a prolific nation must want. Simply and arbitrarily multiplying the number without knowing the overall racial state of a nation may favor an invasion of the less desirable elements of the race, even though, due to various circumstances, these are the most prolific, to the detriment of the superior race, but less numerous ”.

(25) We have already seen that intelligence is for the author one of the supreme values, if not the supreme value. Here it becomes clear that the author considers the superior elements of a nation and, beyond that, of a race, to be its scientists and intellectuals; below, it will appear just as clearly that it measures the level of intelligence of an individual in the number of his diplomas.
For American eugenics at the end of the nineteenth century, the value par excellence was intelligence and, more precisely, abstract intelligence. Since most of them came from a Puritan family, it is not illegitimate to question whether there is a cause and effect connection between their Puritan upbringing and their penchant for this faculty (see White, J. , Intelligence, Destiny and Education: The Ideological Roots of Intelligence , p. 3).
The concept of intelligence appears in the writings of many pre-Socratic philosophers, in which it has three meanings: a divine, absolute entity; a divine gift to men; the faculty of the "sophos", the sage, the expert, the scholar (the "sophisticated" is "the one who strives to deceive by captious reasoning"). Everything suggests that, as early as 300 BC, intelligence was associated with choice, the celestial, the divine, the rational, the unknown, the abstract and the dependence of man on the regard to an absent, rational and abstract deity. "By equating intelligence with a perfectly formed deity, the 'Greek' philosophers laid the foundations for the authority of science and methods of abstract systematization." Divine intelligence, "an entity to which the philosophers attributed a celestial immensity,transcended the Heraclitean world of unstable forms and impossible knowledge and made possible the acquisition of certainty through mathematics ... The formalization of abstract knowledge methods gave rise to a new epistemology, which ensured that knowledge could be precise, exact and true. It is no accident that Isaac Newton, like Augustine before him, admired the way in which the divine intelligence of the Creator had created mysterious laws of gravity and inertia illuminated by the flame of mathematical certainty and mechanics. classic. Augustine's Neo-Platonic theories, like seventeenth-century mathematical rationalism, virtually contain the assumption that mathematics provides the best illustration of intelligence,which enables the attainment of divine truth ”(Privateer, PMInventing Intelligence , p. 23-24). The God of Augustine, in the purest tradition of the Old Testament (see Deut . 25, 13-15; Works of Philo of Alexandria , p. 205), is a "legalistic god who weighs and measures deeds, thoughts and intentions like a human being, a creditor who intends to be reimbursed for a considerable debt… ”(Duquesne, J., le Dieu de Jésus , p. 123), so rational that one wonders whether, in the Judeo-Christian religion is the man who is made in the image of God or God who is made in the image of man.
Fourteen centuries, if the official chronology is to be believed, separate the two men, during which philosophers, theologians and ecclesiastics took advantage of the view that God is intelligence, to establish the power of the Church; and it is difficult to understand, given the Augustinian premises, how it happened that it took so many centuries to prepare minds for the advent of "humanism". The "humanists" replace the transcendent and ideological authority attributed to divine intelligence with an "enlightened" intelligence derived from the strictly human faculty of reasoning. And reason, as we know, will later become Goddess.
As R. Guénon points out, of all the meanings of the Latin word ratio, only one has been kept, that of "calculation". The obsession with "calculation" reached such a point that it was decided to measure intelligence, that is to say, to measure the ability to calculate. Thus, a title was created, it seems in the 12th century, within the framework of this factory of scholars, scientists and jurists that was already the University, then under the tutelage of the Church, to attest to the someone's knowledge and skills: the diploma: “the enemy of culture” (P. Valéry); then, in the 16th century, the Jesuits introduced marks of appreciation: the “prices”; and, at the beginning of the 19th century, the notes appeared. Finally, a few decades later, after the failure of the Mental Test by Mc Keen Cattell and the G factor by Charles Spearman,two scientists with diplomas after a schooling marked by numerous prizes and very good grades, Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon, charged by the French government to find a method of detecting pupils "in difficulty" in the small classes (at least that was the official explanation for this mission), developed, not the first test of quantification of intelligence, but the first test of quantification of intelligence (the Metric Scale of the 'intelligence) usable. By whom was it considered usable? By other researchers, researchers responsible for evaluating intelligence tests. Still other researchers would come who would be responsible for evaluating the assessments of intelligence tests,of the evaluation of the evaluation of the evaluations of intelligence tests, for which were moreover created a host of learned companies, institutes, foundations, research centers, etc., in which would be "fitted" the offspring of the pseudo-elite who would fail to enter the judiciary, marketing, management, finance, art or show business, as well as a handful of sons and daughters of long-toothed workers , in positions all as essential as each other to the construction of a large human hive.art or show business, as well as a handful of sons and daughters of workers with long teeth, in positions all as essential as each other to the construction of a great human hive.art or show business, as well as a handful of sons and daughters of workers with long teeth, in positions all as essential as each other to the construction of a great human hive.
Going back to the beginning of the 20th century, the Jew Wilhelm Stern, drawing inspiration from the work of the aforementioned duo, doubled down and laid a series of tests supposed to determine an "intelligence quotient".
Weigh everything (lat. "Pondero"; hence ponderatio "," weighing "," weighing "," weight "), measure everything (R. Guénon indicates that it is possible to attach" materia "to" metiri "( "Measure) - add that the latter, due to its supine (" mensum est "), can be traced to" mens "(spirit in the sense of mind, thought), which has the same root as" menses " ("Mois") and which is found in French in "mois", "menstruation", in English in "moon" ("lune"), mind ("esprit", "intellect", "intelligence", etc.), measurement ("mensuration", "measurement", etc.) and, according to some, "man" ("man"), in German in Mond ("moon"), meinen ("to think"), etc .; to weigh everything, to measure everything, mentally and practically, such is, in the last analysis, the finality of science, the mania of scientists, who, in this,do nothing but conform to the "divine plan", since God has "arranged all things in measure, number and weight" (Wisdom , XI, 20).
For the “Harvard and Yale Grads” and Co. to stop breeding and go extinct wouldn't be a bad thing for the breed - far from it; however, there is no indication that this is the case; since the beginning of the 20th century, the "Harvard and Yale graduates" - universities, which, like all self-respecting higher education institutions, have attracted the scum of "humanity", to form it, for for example, in key positions to which his superior intelligence calls him in commissions responsible for the sizing of bananas or in pharmacies specializing in banding louse, - have continued to proliferate.
The University, from the “Middle Ages” to the 19th and the end of the 20th century, from France to Russia and Germany, has always been a center of social and cultural unrest, but also a laboratory of doctrines. subversive. Since the end of the 1980s. "National schools (sic)", "Higher schools", "High schools" and other "Institutes", public or private, at the forefront of which is all that is modestly called "School de commerce "," School of management, "School of marketing", seem to have taken over, in terms of subversion.
From a racial point of view, it is not uninteresting to note that the university could have its origin in an Arab institution called jamiʻa (Farid, S., From Jamiʻah to University: Multiculturalism and Christian – Muslim Dialogue, Current Sociology 54) . The jami 'were founded at the end of the tenth century in Egypt to teach jurisprudence, grammar, philosophy, astronomy and logic. In any case, the first higher education institutions granting diplomas were born in the Arab world. Precisely, it would seem that many concepts and terms, such as that of diploma and that of doctorate, also have an Arabic origin (Makdisi, G., Scholasticism and Humanism in Classical Islam and the Christian West, Journal of the American Oriental Society (American Oriental Society), April – June 1989 -http://deenlink.com/books/ScholasticismHumanism.pdf ). What is certain is that, a great admirer of Arab philosophers, Frederick II, who had been able to come into contact with Muslims through the Crusades and who then “adopted the oriental costume and many Arab customs and manners”, founded a university in Naples, one of the very first such institutions in Europe, where, as in all of Sicily, Jewish influence was strong, "with the aim of bringing Arab science into the Western world" ( By Lacy O'Leary, Arabic Thought and Its Place in History, p. 280-1). It was in the universities, during the 13th century, that 'Greco' -Arabic knowledge was permanently integrated into Latin theology, culture and science ”.

(27) It is worth quoting here an extract from the famous Hippocratic Oath: "I will direct the regime of the sick to their advantage, according to my strength and my judgment, and I will refrain from all evil and all injustice. I will not give poison to anyone, if asked, nor will I initiate such a suggestion; similarly, I will not give any woman an abortifacient pessary. I will spend my life and practice my art in innocence and purity. "" I will not give anyone poison "is all the more tasty since it is not so long ago that every doctor was regarded as" a potential assassin "(L. Marcou, Stalin, private life) not only in Russia, but in all European countries. Asaph the Jew (VII BC) made his students swear "not to cause death by administering the juices of poisonous roots and not to make poisonous plants known to everyone and not to give them to anyone. The code of ethics of physicians has never ceased to disturb. Galen declared that there was "not much difference in Rome between thieves and doctors" (in Puschmann, T., Geschichte des Medicinischen Unterrichts von den Altesten Zeiten bis zus Gegenwart , Leipzig: 1894, p. 124). Paracelsus ((1493-1541) declared that "the doctors dressed in scarlet, in hats and in minnow fur have joined forces with the apothecaries to profit from ignorance" (Pagel, W., Paracelsus, 2nd ed, review). Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1664) described doctors as "ignorant and greedy medicine merchants". Perhaps even more so than doctors, however, what is problematic is so-called "drugs", which are known to take the effect of making symptoms of a condition go away and causing it. another by their "side effects" and thus make those who take sick for life, to the great satisfaction of the pharmaceutical industry and its shareholders.
From a racial point of view, it should be noted that the tens of millions of white Europeans who are addicted to "drugs" owe a debt of gratitude to the Arabs, for Arab chemistry and alchemy have played a major role in pharmacy from of the early "middle ages". From the ninth century, the chemist and alchemist Muhammad ibn Zakariya Razi (Rhazes) (865-915) advocated the use of chemical compounds for medical purposes; he invents the ointment of carbonate of lead; he describes "a chloride of mercury used externally against scabies, several preparations of copper and arsenic, an ointment based on mercury, orpiment (zerendj asjar), realgar (ahmar or chôkh), sulphates copper and iron (mazadzab, zakh or chahiréh), saltpeter (rourec), borax (tenker)… ”(Medical Gazette of Paris, Volume 40,Numbers 1 to 52, p. 223). Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis) (936-1013) was the first to prepare medicines by sublimation and distillation. Arab medicine was introduced to Europe in the middle of the 11th century by a certain Constantine, a character of oriental and mysterious origin. With the expansion that the Crusades gave to commerce, medicines from the Middle East flowed in abundance to Europe, where the use of traditional medicines fell into disuse (Medicines from the Middle East flowed in abundance to Europe, where the use of traditional medicines fell into disuse (Medicines from the Middle East flowed in abundance to Europe, where the use of traditional medicines fell into disuse (History of medicine from its origin until the 19th century , Volume 2, p. 579.

(30) In some enlightened nations, notably Australia, Holland and New Zealand, contraceptive methods were welcomed and information on birth control was given to all classes. The results have been excellent socially and racially; in particular, the differential birth rate has fallen and sudden changes in social group have thus been avoided.
(31) Abortion should be carefully distinguished from contraception. Contraceptive methods have been discovered recently; abortion has been practiced since very ancient times. Some of the more primitive peoples, such as black Australians and the Bushmen of South Africa, are abortion specialists.
