On Dr. James Watson
There are so many issues raised by Dr. James Watson's recent
(and more recently retracted) remarks that people of African
descent are genetically less intelligent than others. In rough
order of importance:
(1) The pain and humiliation that the remarks caused to black
people. If it were true that black people were genetically less
intelligent than others no public policy would be changed as a
result. For example, governments would not forbid racial
intermarriage to reduce the number of intellectually-
challenged children, employers would not stop hiring
black people, etc. Nothing would change. So the only result of
proof that black people were genetically less intelligent would
be the pain and humiliation that it causes black people. That is
bad.
(2) It is particularly bad that these statements were made by a
Nobel laureate. If I made them or some other non-scientist had
made them they would be dismissed as unimportant racist
ramblings. When a Nobel laureate, and one who won the prize
in the relevant field of biology, makes them, they are
devastating because they assume the imprimatur of expertise.
(3) Intelligence, either in individuals or in races, is not the most
important quality in human beings. Goodness is. No one argues
that one race is superior or inferior to the others in morality.
My race and Dr. Watson's race, Caucasians, have produced in
just the last century the most murderous behavior that the
world with all of its races, has ever known. This was at a time
when the fruits of our supposedly superior intellect--science
and technology--was at its most advanced. I get angry and
defensive when I read others, such as Jared Diamond, claim
that Caucasians are less intelligent than other races. As I have
written here before I am proud to be white, male, living in the
northern and western hemispheres, and American. But I am
not proud of what my race did in the 20th century.
(4) Although I know not what public policy it informs, research
into and discussion of inherent racial differences should not be
suppressed. As a non-scientist I don't know if Dr. Watson's
initial claims are true. I read and I've never read of any
credible scientific reports that substantiate his initial claims.
If I'm wrong I would like to see the studies widely published
and discussed by the experts. If I'm right, and as Dr. Watson
has said in subsequent comments, that there is no such
evidence then his initial statements are both mean-spirited
as well as unintelligent. And I would like to see research into
racial differences in goodness as well. I don't know why
intelligence get so much attention.
(5) I do share Dr. Watson's bleak view of Africa. As has been
written here before, "It is hard to stay positive" when a head
of state believes he can cure AIDS by reading the Koran,
sprinkling magic water and chanting over victims. That was
just one example recently in the news. High officials in or
formerly a part of the government of South Africa have made
similar, floridly ignorant comments about AIDS. And then
there's Robert Mugabe. However, I don't think it's Robert
Mugabe's race that has made him such a tyrant any more than
I think it's race that made Hitler, Stalin and Mao such tyrants.
(6) I mean this sincerely and not meanly, does Dr. Watson
suffer from any mental problem, such as Alzheimer's? He is
aged and his initial statements seem to me so ridiculous and
his retraction so immediate and categorical that I wondered
if he didn't suffer from some mental impairment, although I
have read that he has made similar statements in the past.
Perhaps he's just a mean man.

China's Great Wall of Silence: A Letter to Congressman David Wu
Dear Congressman Wu,
As the first and only Chinese-American in Congress, and as a lawyer, you are uniquely positioned to be receptive to this request for assistance in the investigation into the murder of Bian Zhongyun.
Bian was beaten to death on August 5, 1966 by her Red Guard students at the privileged Girls School Attached to Beijing Normal University. She was the first educator to be murdered by students in the Cultural Revolution. All of her attackers were girls.
The historical significance of Bian's murder was made complete on August 18, 1966 when Song Binbin, the leader of the Red Guards at Bian's school, was given the honor of pinning a Red Guard armband onto Mao Zedong. The photograph of that moment is one of the most famous of the twentieth century. The occasion was the first rally of Red Guards in Tianenmen Square. Over a million were in attendance.
Bian's murder has ever since been a subject of interest to many. Two films, Though I am Gone, by Hu Jie, and the pseudo-documentary Morning Sun, by Red Guard sympathizer Carma Hinton, have been produced in the last few years. The latter was partially funded by your and my tax dollars through the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Although some courageous people, such as Hu Jie and Dr. Youqin Wang of the University of Chicago, have kept the memory of Bian's murder alive, only one of the perpetrators has been named, Liu Tingting, daughter of the then President of China, Liu Shaoqi. Ms. Liu was one of those who beat Bian on August 5 but there were others, three or four, who committed most of the violence and they have never been named.
It's not for lack of witnesses that those responsible have not been identified. The beating was a public spectacle carried out in front of the student body in broad daylight. The beating lasted for hours. In similar public circumstances Bian was also beaten on June 23 and August 4. After the former beating Bian made a futile written appeal to the Beijing municipal authorities.
Liu Tingting, Song Binbin and a host of other former Red Guards subsequently immigrated to the United States and started new lives. Liu Tingting is now a wealthy, jet-setting business consultant with a residence on Central Park. Song, the most infamous of the Red Guards, changed her name to Yan Song once in the U.S., got her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, worked for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and had homes in Lexington and Concord, the birthplaces of the American Revolution. Others, such as Weili Ye, are comfortably ensconsed in academia. None have even been questioned about their actions during the murderous period of the Cultural Revolution that resulted in an estimated 3,000,000 killed.
With the above as background these are the specific issues that I am asking for your assistance on:
(1) How did Song Binbin and Liu Tingting get into this country? I would respectfully request that you provide me with their immigration forms in order to determine if either made any false or misleading statements there on.
(2) How could the National Endowment for the Humanities fund Morning Sun? What vetting of content occurred or didn't occur that led to N.E.H.'s approval for funding? I would respectfully ask that you provide me with Ms. Hinton's application and any internal N.E.H.documents that informed their decision.
Congressman, your website says that you will not respond to email from folks outside of your C.D., that all other correspondence must be in writing, so I will send this to you in letter form.
Finally, I just ask that you not send me a form letter in response. If you do not wish to assist no response is necessary.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Harris, J.D.

True Crime Stories

I casually mentioned to the judge that he didn't have a poker
face, that I could usually tell how he was going to rule by his
facial expression. When I first told him about that he was
astonished. I was astonished that he was astonished,
sometimes he'd screw up his face like he was having a
hemorrhoid attack when a lawyer was making an argument.
Then we started getting into it: I'd say, "Judge, I can see by
the expression on your face...," or he'd catch himself and say
"Mr. Harris, what am I thinking now?" One time I was begging
for a trial postponement and he said, "Read my face." I looked
up and he was giving me the finger with both hands.

On France
At the height of the Silicon Valley transformation of the American economy The Economist published an article about the visit of two French economic officials to see what they could learn and take back to France. Their hopes were high: "How do we create a Silicon Valley in France?," they asked their hosts. "Well, you have to ease your bankruptcy laws which discourage risk-taking entrepreneurs. You have to cut back on your social safety net, you have to make it easier for companies to fire workers, you have to get workers to work harder and longer into life, you have to privatize more and you have to cut back on the union influence." All sage advice, to which the French replied "We can't do that."
America's first and longest-lasting friend is France. Voltaire wrote that the "golden age of which men speak so much and never before has existed" was created in the colony of Pennsylvania. The French ardently supported America's War of Independence and Lafayette remains an American hero. Tocqueville spent nine months travelling the new republic and produced the most astute commentary ever written on the country. The Statue of Liberty was a gift of the French people to America.
More than any other European country France has been protective of its national identity. With Italy and Germany it was once one of the giants of opera in Europe but then resisted the influence of those others in favor of its homegrown version which has long since been eclipsed but exists still in all its idiosyncrasy. Likewise the French have resisted the Americanization of its culture in television, movies, fast food and theme parks.
In world affairs too France has been keen on preserving its independence and this is what has most rankled. De Gaulle, visiting Quebec, impertinently concluded a speech with "Viva a free Quebec!" France was the only NATO member to refuse to be bound by the military decisions of the alliance as a whole. More recently France incensed Americans by opposing the war in Iraq and refusing to participate. It may have broken the European Union, of which it was a founding member, by refusing to ratify the E.U.'s constitution.
France never recovered from World War I. Exhausted and depressed it lost its ambition and will and with them its prominent place in the world. France has never wanted to fight for anything since, not even Paris when Hitler marched in. French, once the language of international diplomacy, has been supplanted there and everywhere by English. The French economy has muddled along burdened by the characteristics mentioned by the Silicon Valley executive and long eclipsed by the American, German, and Japanese. Last year's production problems at Air Bus have become a symbol of French inability to win in the economic big leagues.
The result of all of this however has been the preservation of most things French and for that the world should be thankful. France remains first in attracting world tourism a sure indication that if most people don't want to live there it's still the greatest country to visit. Its slower-paced work life makes for a more relaxed daily pace that is immediately apparent and welcome to visitors from go-go America. We are awed by the art, charmed by the preservation of the architecture, made voracious by its cuisine, calmed by the beauty of the countryside, and seduced by the sound of the language.
France is not in any immediate danger of becoming as irrelevant as once-great powers like Egypt, Greece, and Rome are. There you go only to see the fossils of what once was great. In France you see great history too but in a living, functioning society, not a great nation as it once was but still a major, relevant and vital one, one that has always been distinctive and which, it is hoped, always will remain distinctive. The world doesn't need France to make computer chips. It just needs it to remain France. This is Public Occurrences.

China's Great Wall of Silence: American Complicity
Here is a Maoist website based in the United States that glorifies the Red Guard murderers and the entire Chinese Holocaust that was the Cultural Revolution. Last year they had a convention in the Pacific Northwest where they proclaimed the C.R. the greatest movement in mankind's history. I am told that the webmaster is a professor at Duke university.
Why doesn't Google shut this site down?
Why doesn't the U.S. government label this organization what it is, a terrorist group?

China's Great Wall of Silence: The Murder of Bian Zhongyun
"Born with a dream, died of a
dream."
-Wang Jingyao, husband of Bian Zhongyun, on what he wants engraved on his cremation box.
China's Great Wall of Silence: Fruit of the Poisonous Tree


At right is the late William Hinton, Maoist. Along with Edgar Snow and Anna Louise Strong, Mr. Hinton was one of the most prominent of Mao's useful western fools.
According to his obituary in the Marxist journal Monthly Review, which he did so much to aid and vice-versa, Hinton read Snow's fiction-written-as-nonfiction Red Star Over China and the great man's chronicle "changed his life." It changed his life says Monthly Review "from that of a pacifist to that of a Marxist." The observant will notice M.R.'s dichotomy: pacifist at one end, Marxist on the other.
M.R. was accurate in making that dichotomy, both in general and in Mr. Hinton's case in particular, for the latter praised Maoist murder from the state's founding in 1949 through the Great Leap Forward, which cost perhaps 30,000,000 lives, through the Cultural Revolution, a pup by Mao's body count standards at only perhaps 3,000,000.
In 1972 Hinton wrote Turning Point in China praising the C.R., regretting only that it did not meet all of its goals, and blithely predicting that China would need many more cultural revolutions in the future.
When the Great Henchman died, and Deng Xiaoping began the process of stopping the Chinese Holocaust and putting China on the path to its current astonishing economic recovery, Mr. Hinton wrote an article in the worthy Monthly Review, issuing the most damning accusation he could think of, that Deng had shifted "from the socialist road to the capitalist road."
In 1993, on the 100th anniversary of Mao's birth, Hinton and some of the old gang got together in Beijing for a celebration. Hinton, according to his obit in The Guardian, leaped onto the stage and began singing a song to the good old days. Bet there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
What does this have to do with the price of tea in China today? Above left is
Carma Hinton, William's issue, who following in the family tradition of fiction masquerading as nonfiction, produced the propa-docu film Morning Sun, partly funded with my and your tax dollars through the National Endowment for the (In)Humanities with additional funding by PBS.
What kind of quality controls are in place at NEH and PBS? How obvious was it that this was going to be a film of propaganda? Carma must have had on her resume or somewhere that her father was William Hinton. If not a .4 second search on Google would have provided the link. The Chinese village that Mr. Hinton lived in and
wrote about was called Longbow. The name of Carma Hinton's production
company is Longbow. William Hinton wrote glowingly about the most psychotic and murderous regime in mankind's history; now his daughter comes hat-in-hand wanting tax dollars to make a film on the Cultural Revolution. What?
Did NEH or PBS notice that the faces of some of the interviewees--all former Red Guards--were blacked out, a la mafia informers? Did they ask why that was necessary and if the interviewees had something to hide?
What did Margo Adler, a real, like journalist, think when she read the script and saw that Song Binbin was allowed to talk and talk and talk and issue laughingly preposterous denials of everything? Her journalist's head didn't go "Hmm, something's fishy here,"? How could it not?
Who in Congress is responsible for oversight of NEH and PBS? Do they know about the outrage that is Morning Sun?
Didn't anybody think before giving approval for funding that maybe the end product would be a little...slanted... when produced by Carma Hinton?
Next up from NEH and PBS: Allesandra Mussolini's documentary The Trains Ran on Time, a moving examination of life in fascist Italy. This is Public Occurrences.
China's Great Wall of Silence: American Dereliction
I care about the coverup of those responsible for Bian Zhongyun's murder because Song Binbin used the United States as her sanctuary, got her degree from one of the most elite universities in this country, and settled in comfort in the suburbs of the birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston.
I care because Liu Tingting is now a sophisticated, wealthy, jet-setting consultant with a residence on Central Park.
I care because of all the Red Guards who are packed into the faculties at elite institutions like Stanford.
I care because the Red Guards to this day continue to threaten and censor Chinese-Americans in the United States whenever they get too close to the truth.
I care because what good is having a Republican president if he doesn't pay attention to immigration as President Reagan self-evidently did not when so many of these wrongdoers immigrated here?
I care because my tax dollars helped fund Morning Sun, the Red Guards Triumph of the Will.
I care because my tax dollars help fund National Public Radio, which did a fawning interview of Carma Hinton and whose correspondent Margo Addled was narrator of Morning Sun.
My great-great-great-great grandfather did not fight in the Battle of Trenton in 1776 for this.
My great-great grandfather did not die at Fredericksburg in 1862 for this.
My grandfather did not fight in France in 1918 for this.
My uncle did not die in the Italian Apennines in 1945 for this.
My brother did not live through Tet in 1968 for this.
And I have not spent twenty-two years prosecuting murderers for this. I am Benjamin Harris and this is Public Occurrences.

China's Great Wall of Silence: The Murder of Bian Zhongyun. Current Photos of Song Binbin

This photograph shows Chinese President Hu Jintao offering warm condolences to Song Binbin's mother on the death of Song's father. Song in center bending slightly to hear President Hu. Photo taken at memorial service.
China's Great Wall of Silence: Cracks
Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?
We have been sent the above. It is a Red Guard flier addressed to Red Guards at the schools and universities around Beijing. The first signator at the bottom, the one encircled, is that of Song Yaowu, nee Song Binbin, now Yan Song. The date is September 6, 1966.
Carma Hinton allowed this reddest of guards to say unchallenged in Morning Sun that her name had been "hijacked" without her knowledge, that she had never assumed the name of Song Yaowu. Hinton allowed Song to cry that someone else had written the famous August 20 article in People's Daily about her pinning of Mao Zedong and then signed her name, again without her knowledge.
The claim is laughable and Hinton's abetment clumsy and puerile.

China's Great Wall of Silence, The Murder of Bian Zhongyun: Liu Tingting

"It was glorious to beat people to death at that time. So I exaggerated and said that I had beaten three people to death."*
*Liu Tingting, in early 1967 when asked by a schoolmate if she had beaten three people to death in the summer of 1966 as rumored (Wang Youqin, Student Attacks Against Teachers.)
Liu was a student at the school where Bian Zhongyun was murdered. She was one of those who beat Bian.
Liu was the daughter of the then President of China, Liu Shaoqi. She uses the name Liu Ting now and is a wealthy and well-connected consultant in New York with an apartment near Central Park in Manhattan. This is Public Occurrences.
China's Great Wall of Silence: Hu Jie, a Courageous Voice for Truth

Hu Jie is a brave, young film maker living in China. In 2005 he made a documentary on the murder of Bian Zhongyun. Originally available only in Chinese Though I am Gone was recently dubbed into English and has received very, very positive reviews in England. It is now available on YouTube here: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:0dTc4kX6OM0J:www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Dcm1Fe1BjYyI+%22THOUGH+I+AM+GONE%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&ie=UTF-8
Hu is the anti-Carma Hinton and Though I am Gone is the anti-Morning Sun.
Red Guards, you are the Old Guard now. A new generation of courageous people like Hu have taken your place and they are not going to let the sins of their mothers be forgotten.
Liu Ting, Song Binbin, Liu Jin, Red Guards in general, do not get too comfortable in your dotage. We will never forget. This is Public Occurrences.

Ward Churchill=Clair Hull="Mistress Kenis," Dominatrix?



We have uncovered evidence that
supports our preliminary conclusion
that Dr. Ward Churchill did
misrepresent himself as an American Indian as alleged by the
University of Colorado.
As in our last post we here offer evidence that as regards being trans gendered Dr. Churchill did not misrepresent and that his name as a woman may have been "Clair Hull." At top left is the infamous photo of the militarist male Churchill brandishing an
assault rifle. Next to it is a photo that we believe shows Churchill in his previous life as a 6'5"female dominatrix. Note the similarity in facial structure, the chin, and the eye
glasses as well as the Indian-like body painting. We believe that the name Churchill went by in his fetish was "Mistress Kenis."
The third newly-published photograph purports to be Churchill as a woman. Again note the similarities in facial structure and glasses as well as the large pendant breasts
which would be difficult to remove in their entirety, leading to the photograph at bottom which seems to show breast remnants.
Allegedly, Churchill's female name was "Clair Hull," all the letters of which are contained in the male name "Ward Churchill."
On this evidence we believe that the University
of Colorado was wrong in concluding that
Churchill misrepresented. This is Public
Occurrences.
