Hitler was a sociobiologist. And mainstream sociobiologists are continuing
his work. Consider leading sociobiologist Roger Pearson, former advisor to
the Reagan Administration, currently heads up the Council for Social and
Economic Studies (CSES), a think tank that publishes the Journal of
Social, Political and Economic Studies. CSES also publishes a 37 year old
"quarterly scholarly journal" titled The Mankind Quarterly. Mankind
Quarterly, backed up by the official sounding Washington-based Institute
for the Study of Man (ISM), controlled by Pearson, is one of the principal
publishers of sociobiological research, particularly evolutionary
psychology (e.g., Lynn, Rushton, Cattell, who recently had a life-time
achievement award held up at the APA because it was brought to their
attention that he advocated eugenics, and others publish here). Leading
and internationally famous racist-eugenicists publish in the Quarterly, many
of them funded by the eugenicist organization the Pioneer Fund. Who is
Pearson? He is a Nazi, Jay. In his books, Eugenics and Race, Pearson
writes: "If a nation with a more advanced, more specialized, or in any
way superior set of genes mingles with, instead of exterminating, an
inferior tribe, then it commits racial suicide." Pearson, leader of the
Nazi organization, the Northern League, advocates eugenics programs and
has advocated racial extermination programs. Pearson was brought to
America by Willis Carto, an anti-Semite who publishes the Spotlight and
who is an associate of the American Nazi Party. Pearson used to be a
member of the Heritage Foundation and published their policy journal.
Members of Pearsons' CSES currently sit on the board of Heritage.
This is serious business, Jay. It's not a cheap shot. You're ignorant of
the facts. Anybody who would have to ask if Hitler was a sociobiologist
doesn't know history. But, we have to emphasize, Hitler's doctors and
scientists were taught by British and American eugenicists. You would do
good to follow up on the names I mentioned (also read Stephen Kuhl).
Your crack about Stalin is just the sort of overblown red-baiting speech I
expect from an ideologue who advocates sociobiology.
