RIP Dr. James D. Watson: He solved life’s greatest puzzle and paid the price for speaking the truth… 1/2

November 10, 2025 (a day ago)

Dr. James D. Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning biologist who co-discovered the structure of DNA,has passed away, leaving behind not just a legacy of scientific brilliance but also a reminder of what happens when truth collides with political correctness.

Watson was one of the rare minds who changed the way humanity understands itself.He helped unlock the double helix, which is the blueprint of life, a discovery that transformed medicine, genetics, and anthropology forever. But in the end, it wasn’t science that canceled him.It was honesty.

When Watson spoke openly about genetics and intelligence, making observations grounded in data, not ideology,the same scientific community that once hailed him as a hero turned on him. Mr. Watson merely stated that genetics and race influence human intelligence.

Aporia Magazine:

James Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, has died at age 97.

His career was long and distinguished. Aside from making one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century1, he wrote an influential textbookand a best-selling popular science book, served as director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for quarter of a century,and helped to establish the Human Genome Project. Unsurprisingly, his contributions were honoured with numerous awards and prizes, including the Nobel Prize in 1962 and the Copley Medal in 1993. Watson was considered to be among the greatest scientists of his generation. Until.

In a 2007 interview with the Sunday Times, Watson made the mistake of giving his honest opinion about a controversial subject. Stating that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa”, he noted that “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours — whereas all the testing says not really”. He also made the indelicate comment that, althoughhe hoped everyone was equal, “people who have to deal with black employees find this is not true”.

Watson subsequently came out and said he was “mortified” that his remarks had caused offence, but the damage was done.He was suspended as chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor.Forthcoming lectures were cancelled and honorary degrees were revoked. His career was essentially over.

Despite becoming an “unperson”, in his own words, Watson was allowed to stay on at Cold Spring Harbor as “chancellor emeritus”. Yet even this title was rescinded in 2019, after the airing of a documentaryin which Watson stated that his views on race and intelligence had not changed “at all”.

Read the rest…

Because of his honesty, his titles were stripped, his reputation was smeared, and his name was blacklisted from the institutions that were built on his miraculous discoveries.

One especially heartwarming story comes to mind.After Dr. Watson had his Nobel Prize stripped away, he sold it — and the richest man in Russia bought it, only to promptly give it back to him.

The Guardian:

The richest man in Russia and a major shareholder in Arsenal football club has come forward as the buyer of James Watson’s Nobel medal – declaring that he now plans to give the piece back.

Alisher Usmanov, the Russian entrepreneur, paid $4.1m (£2.6m) for the medal at an auction at Christie’s in New York city last week, but said he will return it to Watson,who with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, shared the 1962 Nobel prize in medicine for discovering the double helical structure of DNA.

Usmanov, whose steel, mining and other assets are worth $15bn according to Forbes, said he wanted the medal to remain with its rightful owner and for the money he spent on the item to be donated to scientific research.

“In my opinion, a situation in which an outstanding scientist has to sell a medal recognising his achievements is unacceptable,” Usmanov said in a statement.

“James Watson is one of the greatest biologists in the history of mankind and his award for the discovery of DNA structure must belong to him,” he added.

Watson became the first living laureate to auction his Nobel medal in a sale that earned far more than the $3m that some experts had predicted. Last year, the family of Francis Crick, who died in 2004, sold his medal for $2.27m.

Before the auction,Watson said he was selling the medal to raise money for the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, from where he was suspended as chancellorafter he claimed that black people were not as intelligent as whites.

Sad. But this is the world we live in now. A world that celebrates the “truth” only when it’s cloaked in political correctness. The left worships “experts” until those experts start saying things that make them feel uncomfortable.Then suddenly, facts become “hate,” and data becomes “dangerous to democracy.”

James D. Watson never bowed to that pressure.He lived and died as what every real scientist should be… a man who believed truth exists whether people like it or not. And in a time when courage and honesty are pretty much extinct, he stood alone and didn’t budge.

Rest in peace, Dr. Watson… you were a true pioneer who put truth before applause. The world may not have deserved such a man, but it will never forget him.

Experts begged Kiev to pull troops out of encircled stronghold – FT

Military experts and civil groups have pointed to Ukraine’s ongoing manpower shortages and climbing desertion rates

Ukrainian civil groups and military experts have been pleading with the country’s leadership to withdraw its forces from the city of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) before they become fully encircled by Russian troops, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

Many insiders see little chance of holding the city, which is located in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, due to critical manpower shortages and widespread fatigue among Ukrainian troops, the paper wrote.

Former Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Vitaliy Deynega warned last week that “despite the official bravado, the situation is more than complicated and less than controlled,” urging the country’s leadership to pull out “while it is possible.”

In recent weeks, Russian troops have encircled both Krasnoarmeysk (known in Ukraine as Pokrovsk) and Kupyansk in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, trapping roughly 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers, according to the Defense Ministry in Moscow.

Military experts and Ukrainian servicemen told FT that Kiev’s battlefield setbacks stem largely from a persistent manpower crisis that has plagued its forces since the escalation of the conflict in 2022.

“All of this might have been avoided if we had more people,” one Ukrainiansoldier fighting near Krasnoarmeysk told the outlet, adding that recapturing the city would require “a huge number of people” that Ukraine currently lacks.

The issue, FT wrote, has been aggravated by a surge in desertions,citing one official who said many newly mobilized recruits flee long before reaching their units.

FT quoted Poland-based Rochan Consulting as saying: “the Ukrainian force density is already so low thatthere are parts of the front that are essentially only guarded by drones.”

Top Ukrainian commander Aleksandr Syrsky claimed on Sunday that the situation in Krasnoarmeysk was “generally under control.”

According to FT, Kiev’s refusal to acknowledgethe worsening conditionshas fueled concerns that its leadership may be sacrificing troopsto preserve political appearances.

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Kiev the opportunity to order a surrender and spare its forces. Vladimir Zelensky rejected the proposal, claiming his troops remain in controland accusing Moscow of trying to mislead Kiev’s Western backers.

The soldiers understand that Kiev could care less who dies, as long as they can blame it on propaganda. This will not end well at all for Zelensky and his friends. (Not at all!he should escape the country tonight,tomorrow will be too late!)

Attempts to defend BBC are a “disgrace” – Lavrov

The British media is waging an “unprofessional and harmful” information campaign, the Russian foreign minister has said

Attempts to deflect from the BBC’s obvious responsibility for the scandal that has enveloped the British state broadcaster are a “disgrace,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Accusations that the BBC spliced footage of a speech by US President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021to create the impression he was inciting supporters to riot at the Capitol building forced the director general and head of news to quit. Trump has reportedly threatened to sue the broadcaster for $1 billion.

Speaking to Russian journalists on Tuesday,Lavrov said he wanted to draw attention to what he described as “yet more instances of unprofessional and harmful coverage of certain events” by international media, primarily British outlets.

“What is happening with the BBC now is well known,” he said. “The fact that some ‘figures’ are trying to justify what happened and aretalking about some kind of staged campaign is a disgrace.”

Details from a leaked internal BBC dossier,published by The Telegraph, suggested that the broadcaster had aired a doctored version of Trump’s address, combining remarks made nearly an hour apart and showing footage of protesters heading toward the Capitol building that was filmed before he began speaking.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt branded the British broadcaster a “leftist propaganda machine” and “100% fake news,” accusing it of being “purposefully dishonest” in its portrayal of the events.

The BBC has since apologized. Outgoing Director General Tim Davie told staff on Tuesday that the broadcaster had made “some mistakes that have cost us.”

Lavrov also criticized British newspaper Financial Times for its coverage of a proposed Budapest meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying the story contained “many lies.”

(Lavrov is very good at chastising DS.TY Foreign Minister Lavrov!)

Syria’s national museum robbed – media

The country has been in turmoil since the overthrow of Bashar Assad’s government last year

Thieves have broken into Syria’s National Museum in Damascus andstolen several valuable Roman artifacts, according to multiple media reports.

Turmoil in Syria following years of civil war culminated last year in the ouster of longtime leader Bashar Assad, plunging the country into months of clashes between the new government’s forces and rival factions.

The break-in reportedly took place on Sunday evening and was discovered early Monday. The Associated Presssaid the thieves stole several ancient statues dating back to the Roman era, while other outlets reported that six gold ingots were among the missing items. An investigation is underway.

The theft followed warnings from international organizations. In June, the Paris-based International Council of Museums (ICOM) reported that an active black market for cultural objects had emerged in Syria with looting and illicit trafficking of artifacts being on the rise.Two months later, the Syrian antiquities agency and UNESCO launched a project to upgrade the museum’s security systems.=

Founded in 1919, the National Museum in Damascus is one of the oldest and most important museums in the Arab world, housing collections that span thousands of years of Syrian history. Closed in 2012 during the civil war, it partially reopened in 2018 and resumed full public access in January 2025.

Assad’s fall followed a surprise offensive by the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda offshoot, which captured Damascus in late 2024. HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa became Syria’s president. On Monday, he met US President Donald Trump in Washington after being removed from the US State Department’s ‘global terrorist’ list. Following the meeting, Syria pledged to join the US-led coalition against militant jihadist organization Islamic State (IS).

IS devastated Syria’s cultural heritage in 2015, when its militants seized the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and blew up some of its monuments, including the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel. The group looted countless artifacts and executed the site’s chief archaeologist.
