AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS MEETING: European Skin Turned Pale Only Recently, Gene Suggests Ann Gibbons PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA--At the American Association of Physical Anthropologists meeting, held here from 28 to 31 March, a new report on the evolution of a gene for skin color suggested that Europeans acquired pale skin quite recently, perhaps only 6000 to 12,000 years ago

arack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's recent attendance of Al Sharpton's National Action Network raises some disturbing questions, especially given allegations about Clinton's past record of making anti-Semitic statements. Jews Divided on Hillary Slur reports an allegation that, in 1974, she called Bill Clinton's campaign manager Paul Fray, whom she apparently blamed for losing a Congressional race for her husband, a "f**king Jew bastard." Meanwhile, stories about Obama's attendance at a madrasa, and his connection with a Black separatist minister, take on added seriousness in light of his recent visit to Al Sharpton's racist and anti-Semitic hate group. Under standards set,...

A video aired on German TV has shown an army recruit on firing practice being ordered to pretend he was in New York's Bronx facing hostile African Americans. In the grainy 90-second video, the instructor tells the soldier to swear as he fires his gun. US civil rights leader, Al Sharpton, said it was outrageous to depict blacks as "target practice". New York officials say they are saddened and frustrated that the Bronx district is depicted so negatively. "Clearly these folks don't know anything about African-Americans or the Bronx," said Bronx borough president Adolfo Carrion Jnr, who recently returned from...

A 40,000-YEAR-OLD skeleton found in China has raised questions about the "out of Africa" hypothesis on how early modern humans populated the planet. The fossil bones are the oldest from an adult "modern" human to be found in eastern Asia. They contain features that call into question the widely held view that all humans alive today are descended from a small group of sub-Saharan Africans who made their way out of the continent about 60,000 years ago. Gradually they colonised other parts of the planet, replacing older human species such as the Neanderthals, which became extinct. The older humans had...

....When an Iranian proves to be sophisticated, she no longer qualifies as Iranian. ...then the real biases begin to emerge. The unveiled and urbane Iranian jars the Western mind. For the Anglophone, Iran's history begins in 1979, and the model for an authentic Iranian male is bearded, preferably turbaned and robed; and the female is submissive and veiled... ...The effort began by Ayatollah Khomeini. He made no secret of his contempt for the non-Muslim dimensions of Iranian life. He injected Persian with so many Arabic words that it confounded the ordinary listener, something for which he compensated by repetitiveness. He...

How to push for a new Holocaust, from Nazi conference in Tehran by Ahmadinejad/Duke Option #1 That the six million murdered for sole reason of being of a different origin were killed as 'just as an act of war'. If it doesn't "work", try: Option #2 That the 1.5 million children slougtered died "of old age"... If it doesn't "work", try: Option #3 That the Jews with their old history in Polnad of at least 1,000 years "didn't" (???) produce so many...

Lebensborn children feel shame of 'master race' ideology Anne-Lise Fredriksen was walking on the beach one day during a Key West vacation when her husband told her to straighten up so her back wouldn't ache later. To his shock, she burst into tears. Her husband's innocent remark had dredged up a far darker memory, from the time when she was a young girl growing up in a fishing village in Norway, the child of a German father and a Norwegian mother. Because her father had been a Nazi soldier during the occupation of Norway in World War II, children threw...

...Using new technology to study the genomes of 270 volunteers from four corners of the world, researchers have found that while people do indeed inherit one chromosome from each parent, they do not necessarily inherit one gene from mom and another from dad. One parent can pass down to a child three or more copies of a single gene. In some cases, people can inherit as many as eight or 10 copies....

LOS ANGELES Attorneys who failed to get kingpins of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang acquitted on charges of murder, conspiracy and racketeering are trying a novel approach to save their clients from possible death sentences. The defense for Barry "The Baron" Mills and Tyler "The Hulk" Bingham have filed motions with a federal judge arguing that the government must present live witnesses during their clients' sentencing phase or nothing at all. The argument is based on the 2004 U.S. Supreme Court decision Crawford v. Washington, in which the high court found that defendants have the right to confront witnesses whose...

Federal prosecutors in Southern California toiled for years to build a case strong enough to cut off the head of the notorious Aryan Brotherhood prison gang and end its 40-year reign over the federal and state prison system. On Friday, the government saw the fruits of its labor: a sweeping verdict that convicted four top gang leaders of murder, conspiracy and racketeering and made two of the defendants eligible for the death penalty. Yet as prosecutors celebrated, legal analysts and prison gang experts questioned whether the government's near-complete victory will translate into what authorities so keenly desire - the eventual...

ARYAN and Iran ETYMOLOGY: From Sanskrit rya-, noble, Aryan. OTHER FORMS: Ary·an —ADJECTIVE WORD HISTORY:It is one of the ironies of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-eyed physical ideal of Nazi Germany, originally referred to a people who looked vastly different. Its history starts with the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Their tribal self-designation was a word reconstructed as *arya– or *rya–. The first of these is the form found in Iranian, as ultimately in the name of Iran itself (from Middle Persian rn (ahr),...

SANTA ANA Within the forbidding walls of the Supermax federal prison, where high-profile inmates live in heavily guarded isolation, a section was created in 1998 called "H Unit," where six special prisoners could mingle, use a computer and share information, a prison official testified Wednesday. The six men, dropouts from the notorious Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, were known as "cooperators" or in slang as "snitches." Danny Shoff, a Bureau of Prisons official now assigned to Washington, D.C., said he was one of the few staff members at the Florence, Colo., facility allowed entry to "H Unit" during the period that...

Neo-Nazi becomes fanatical Muslim 24/5/2006 YOU COULDN'T make it up. A leading Nazi behind the notorious Combat 18 has become a fanatical Muslim supporter of Osama bin Laden. Aziz Z Top: Myatt's not a sharp-dressed man. David Myatt, 51, was a self-styled "Satanic Fuhrer" who urged his neo-Nazis followers to fight a race war. But Myatt has now swopped his worship of Adolf Hitler for al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. His new name is Abdul Aziz ibn Myatt and he argues that Muslims and Aryans share the same common enemy in the Jewish nation and western capitalism. Myatt's previous...

In unearthed letter urged President-elect Clinton to 'reform' country A letter to Bill Clinton written by the co-counsel who successfully argued the Roe v. Wade decision urged the then-president-elect to "eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country" by liberalizing abortion laws. Ron Weddington, who with his wife Sarah Weddington represented "Jane Roe," sent the four-page letter to President Clinton's transition team before Clinton took office in January 1993. The missive turned up in an exhibit put together by the watchdog legal group Judicial Watch, which has been researching the Clinton administration's policy on the abortion drug...

SANTA ANA - After nearly eight years of investigation and trial preparation, the federal government opened its case Tuesday against the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang with a simple slide that read: "The Aryan Brotherhood: Blood in, Blood out." The phrase - borrowed from the gang itself - sums up most of the allegations against members of the highly organized and violent white supremacist gang accused in 32 murders and attempted murders in one of the largest capital punishment cases ever filed in U.S. history. Sixteen of the 40 members arrested four years ago after a lengthy investigation could face the...

Iran Jews express Holocaust shock By Sadeq Saba BBC News The Iranian president is accused of ignorance and political prejudice The chairman of Iran's Jewish Council has strongly criticised the country's hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for saying the Holocaust was a myth. In a letter to the president, Haroun Yashayaei said the leader's remarks had shocked the international community and caused fear in Iran's Jewish community. Mr Yashayaei described the Holocaust as one of the most obvious and sad events in the 20th Century. Six million Jews were killed in Nazi persecution during World War II. This is the first...

MARYVILLE - At 6-feet-9 and 350 pounds, Jim Tull would be hard to miss, even if he weren't tattooed all over with fearsome symbols and messages of - to put it mildly - ethnic intolerance. To say that he dominates a room profoundly understates the situation. But a conversation with him reveals an apparent seam of gentleness that is sharply at odds with his outward persona. Tull talks about God and about the cable-channel storyline that has brought him from what he says was a life of hate and crime to a total submission to the will of the Lord....

Most modern Indians descended from South Asians, not invading Central Asian steppe dwellers, a new genetic study reports. The Indian subcontinent may have acquired agricultural techniques and languages—but it absorbed few genes—from the west, said Vijendra Kashyap, director of India's National Institute of Biologicals in Noida. The finding disputes a long-held theory that a large invasion of central Asians, traveling through a northwest Indian corridor, shaped the language, culture, and gene pool of many modern Indians within the past 10,000 years. That theory is bolstered by the presence of Indo-European languages in India, the archaeological record, and historic sources such...

A study of DNA from ancient farmers in Europe shows sharp differences from that of modern Europeans — results that are likely to add fuel to the debate over European origins. Researchers led by Wolfgang Haak of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, argue that their finding supports the belief that modern residents of central Europe descended from Stone Age hunter-gatherers who were present 40,000 years ago, and not the early farmers who arrived thousands of years later. But other anthropologists questioned that conclusion, arguing that the available information isn't sufficient to support it. Haak's team used DNA from 24...

Many of you saw the story on Drudge Report today. There are two young girls, twins, who are White Nationalists. They have been raised to be white supremacists, and they have, since a young age, been making music with lyrics that express that racist sentiment. It should come as no surprise that the headline read like this: Young Singers Spread Racist Hate Yep, it's "racist hate," it is. Do you agree? Well, I suppose I do. But once again, racism is condemned in one direction and embraced and celebrated in the other. If you're white and you don't like black...
