The New Yorker: "The Jewish Brain" By Baldrson in Baldrson's Diary Fri Oct 14, 2005 at 10:37:53 PM EST Tags: User Diary (all tags)
	The New Yorker's cover story this week is "The Jewish Brain" where they are going to discuss the controversial study by G. Cochran, J. Hardy, H. Harpending purporting to explain the higher intelligence of Ashkenazi Jews. It "has everyone plotzing." Here's what no one in the MSM or academe will openly discuss: Jewish IQ is around 115 but this results from a verbal IQ of about 125 while the rest of their IQ dimensions score near 100. And, as Yang et al say of their paper: Prefrontal white matter in pathological liars: Our argument is that the more networking there is in the prefrontal cortex, the more the person has an upper hand in lying. Their verbal skills are higher. They've almost got a natural advantage. I wonder when people will put 2 and 2 together. Oops.. they already have...

It is reasonable to suggest "The Big Lie" is related to "chutzpah". "The Big Lie" derives from what is popularly referred to as "The Big Lie Theory" which is a reference to something Hitler said in Mien Kampf -- and attributing it to Nazi propagandists. However, upon doing a web search for it, I came across the following passage from "Mein Kampf" on "The Big Lie Theory" attributing it to not to Hitler's belief in what is justifiable as a propaganda technique, but to heritable predispositions among Jews! Hitler writes in "Mein Kampf" (MURPHY translation: page 134:) "All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes. From time immemorial. however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. Is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are a religious community, where as in reality they are a race? And what a race! One of the greatest thinkers that mankind has produced has branded the Jews for all time with a statement which is profoundly and exactly true. He (Schopenhauer) called the Jew "The Great Master of Lies". Those who do not realize the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping Truth to prevail." I never got around to reading "Mein Kampf" in its entirety, although I recalled seeing something along these lines when a Jewish friend of mine discussed the origin of "The Big Lie Theory" with me a long time ago. People conflate "The Big Lie Theory" with a variety of confused interpretations, such as "repeated assertion of falsehood", attributing it not to Hitler but to his propaganda ministers.... but, no, it is not mere argument by repeated assertion, nor is it's origin in Nazi propaganda theory -- but rather it is, a _published observation_ that Hitler made of Jewish character! Looks like "Mein Kampf" is worth a more careful read. Or did you already know that the phrase "The Big Lie Theory" originated in Hitler's observation of Jewish character? The popular understanding of "The Big Lie Theory", attributing it to Nazi propaganda behavior toward Jews and others has become itself perhaps the most widespread demonstration that the theory is correct as set forth by Hitler in "Mein Kampf". How amazingly predictable that Jews have managed to twist the meaning of the very phrase "The Big Lie Theory" around to make virtually every popular reference to it connote that Hitler and/or his propaganda ministers invented it as a propaganda tool for Nazism! Talk about Chutzpah!
