It's been awhile since I last hit you all up hard for money, but my cash flow has turned sharply negative again, so please, please pony up now.
Over the last couple of years, I've burned through a sizable fraction of my savings trying to stay in the writing business. Maybe I'm being megalomaniacal, but I think the question of whether or not I can survive in this profession has ramifications beyond just my family's welfare. If I have to give up writing, it will send a malign message to a lot of other people with potential:
"Kid, don't wind up like Sailer. He had the talent, but he just had one fatal flaw -- he couldn't stop himself from telling the truth. And nobody will pay for that."
Silencing me is the goal of huckster extraordinaire Morris Dees of the mercenary Southern Poverty Law Center, richly-funded tattle-tale David Brock of Media Matters, and the charming John Podhoretz of NRO. If I lose, they win.
You'll notice that my detractors don't argue with what I say (because they can't think of any facts and logic to refute it). All they ever do is list my heresies as self-evidently beyond what's allowed in polite society; nobody should be allowed to say such things in public, so I must be made an example of.
As you are doing your taxes, you might find yourself worrying,
"Man, my taxable income income is too high! How can I lower it in 2006 so I don't have to pay so much in taxes?"
Well, trust me, I'm not worrying about that. So, if you are, do we ever have a deal for you! Peter Brimelow writes:
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR STEVE SAILER FANS: Our regular Sunday night columnist Steve Sailer is one of the jewels of contemporary science journalism and it’s a mystery to me (and to him) why he’s not been stolen from VDARE.COM by the Mainstream Media. Well, actually, it’s not a mystery. Steve pushes the envelope too much. That’s why we’re here at VDARE.COM—and why we have to develop our own funding sources a.k.a you.
We want to commission Steve to begin a major project, separate from his columns, the results of which will be published in longer pieces, working towards a possible book. The topic: the implications of modern discoveries in the human biodiversity area for the survival and success of the American nation. Donations to this project will be tax-deductible. You can make credit card contributions here; or fax credit card details here; you can snail mail checks made out to "Lexington Research Institute" and marked on the memo line (lower left corner) “Biodiversity/ National Project” to the usual address:
Lexington Research Institute
P.O. Box 1195
Washington CT 06793
Now, if tax deductibility isn't relevant to you (e.g., you live outside the U.S.), you might find it simpler to donate directly to me through Paypal or Amazon, or just email me and I'll email back my Post Office Box address.
You don't need to have a PayPal or Amazon account already to donate, just a credit card. (Or you can E-mail me and I'll send you my P.O. Box number.)
What have I done to earn your support?
While the rest of the media was telling you not to believe your lying eyes, I gave you the straight story about the New Orleans Nightmare. For that, I had to put up with denunciations from far and wide.
I don't just provide opinionizing. I've broken the following stories that required extensive statistical analysis:
- Despite all the talk about how smart John F. Kerry was, he scored slightly worse on his military officer qualification exam than did George W. Bush, who's no brainiac himself.
- The enormously popular table showing that Kerry-voting blue states have much higher IQs than Bush-voting red states was a hoax.
- That the exit poll claiming that Bush won 44% of the Hispanic vote was wrong.
That the Hispanic vote totaled only 6.0%, not the 9% that Michael Barone speculated it would be, and that ten times more of Bush's incremental votes came from whites than from Hispanics.
- That the engine underlying why red states are red and blues states are blue is affordable family formation.
- That the most celebrated theory in the big bestseller Freakonomics -- that abortion cut crime -- didn't come close to meeting the burden of proof.
Here are some of the things I've either A. accurately predicted; B. calculated or otherwise discovered by myself; or C. scooped the rest of the press about:
- That Cesar Chavez was the first anti-illegal immigration Minuteman.
- Mexico's terrorist attacks on America under the genocidal Plan of San Diego.
- That at least 1,800 different human genes have been under varying selection pressures on different continents.
- Proposed a practical yet humane push-pull plan for saving Europe by persuading large numbers of its Muslims to leave.
- That before the War on Christmas, American Jews had helped make the American Christmas the rich celebration it is today
- That "Citizenism" offers an attractive moral philosophy that can help us regain control of our borders.
- A feasible plan to help the 30% of the youth who might benefit from the discipline of military training, but whose IQs are too low to be accepted under recent recruitment guidelines.
- That the spread of demeaning jobs as roadside Human Signs reflects the cheap labor / expensive land economy promoted by mass immigration.
- In December 1992, even before Bill Clinton was inaugurated, I wrote "A Specter Is Haunting the Clinton Presidency," predicting that sexual harassment charges by an Arkansas state employee could endanger Clinton's tenure in office.
- The gender gap in Olympic running reached its narrowest point back in 1988, and that it's been larger ever since due to better steroid testing. (In general, I was on top of the steroid story early.)
- In "Is Love Colorblind?" I showed there are striking skews among interracial married couples, with black men and Asian women in greater demand; Asian men and black women aren't happy about it.
- Lesbians and gays have remarkably few behavioral tendencies in common ("Why Lesbians Aren't Gay").
- The fundamental problem underlying the corruption and discord of the Muslim Middle East is an extraordinarily high rate of cousin marriage. Inbreeding turns each extended family into a clan, pursuing its own welfare at the expense of the nation.
- The biggest reason whites and blacks get along better in the military than in the rest of society is because the military won't take low IQ applicants, so black and white average IQ scores are fairly similar in the military.
- Sexual selection (rich dark men marrying fair women) keeps whites on top in Latin America after almost 500 years of interracial marriage ("How Latino Intermarriage Breeds Racial Inequality")
- The most useful definition of a racial group is "a partly inbred extended family" ("It's All Relative: Putting Race in it's Proper Perspective").
- There are practical ways to "Help the Left Half of the Bell Curve."
- In 2000, Bush carried the 19 states with the highest white fertility rate.
- Contrary to all Karl Rove's hype, in 2000 I explained that "The GOP's Future Depends on White Vote."
- That blacks tend to have better improvisatory cognitive skills than whites do in areas that IQ tests can't measure ("Great Black Hopes")
- That immigration increases inequality.
- That white liberals have lower birthrates than white conservatives ("Will Liberals Become Extinct")
- "Immigration Is Retarding the Spread of Interracial Marriage" -- In California, native-born Americans are three times as likely as immigrants to have a spouse from a different race.
- From 2000, "Will Vicente Fox Be Bush's Yeltsin?"
- When the Human Genome Project honchos told us they had proved race doesn't exist, they were just yanking our chains.
- George H.W. Bush was wise not to push on to conquer Baghdad in 1991.
- The Bush family has had decades of close contacts with corrupt Mexican politicos.
- Blacks are imprisoned 9.1 times more than whites and Hispanics 3.7 times more.
- On the evening of 9/11, I wrote "Bush Called for Laxer Airport Security," pointing out that, in pursuit of the Arab / Muslim vote in 2000, Bush had promised to eliminate ethnic profiling of Arab airline passengers and get rid of the use of secret evidence in terrorism prosecutions.
- In late September 2001, before the Afghan war began, I wrote a long essay on "The Man Who Would Be King" to demonstrate that the U.S. would win easily in Afghanistan but then find nation-building extremely difficult.
- The problem with polygamy that everyone forgets about is that for every man with four wives there are three bachelors left over.
- African Americans are 17-18% white and Mexicans are about 5% black.
- Mass immigration makes affirmative action more costly to individual whites by lowering the "racial ratio" of those damaged by quotas to those benefited.
- "1986 Amnesty Set off a Baby Boom among Ex-Illegals"
- The Bush Administration's briefs (as rewritten by Alberto Gonzales) would signal Justice O'Connor to vote for endorsing racial quotas in the U. of Michigan case.
- Genghis Khan was the world's greatest lover.
- Annika Sorenstam would miss the cut in her men's tournament by four strokes.
- In February 2003, I predicted that the woman golfer most likely to be competitive with top men golfers would not be Annika Sorenstam, but instead a 13-year-old named Michelle Wie.
- A week into the 2003 Iraq invasion, I asked, "Why no dancing in the streets of Iraq?"
- Jews and Muslims each make up 0.3%, and atheists 0.1% of the U.S. Armed Forces, according to dog tag markings of each soldier's religion.
- The number of black pro golfers has declined sharply over the last two decades because of the decline in the number of black caddies.
- The exit poll aggregation software crashed on Election Night 2002, so nobody knew what the demographics of the midterm elections were until I purchased the raw data and crunched it in a series of articles.
- I coined the phrase "Invade the World! Invite the World!" to describe the Bush Administration's contradictory foreign and immigration policies.
- The War Nerd.
- Oscar winners give 40 times more money to Democrats than to Republicans.
- Dynasticism is on the rebound around the world (2000 version) and (2003 version)
- The NAEP test score gap for American-born Hispanics versus whites is 2/3rds as large as the notoriously troublesome black-white gap.
- That micronutrient fortification would be a cost-effective way to raise Third World IQs.
- Regarding the Larry Summers brouhaha, the percent of female Nobel Laureates in the hard sciences has dropped from 2.5% in 1901-1964 to 2.3% in 1965-2004.
- That the fundamental problem of African-American culture (low paternal investment in children) also is the fundamental problem of African culture.
So, please give generously. I thank you for it.
