Russian Tycoon Bought "Racist" Scientist's Nobel Prize And Gives It Back

[Desert Fox]

Before proceeding to the actual article, here is a little background of Dr. Charles Watson, a Nobel Prize laureate, from Wikipedia:

"James Dewey Watson, KBE (hon.), ForMemRS (born April 6, 1928) is an American molecular biologist, geneticist and zoologist, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA in 1953 with Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".[4]

From 1956 to 1976, Watson was on the faculty of the Harvard University Biology Department, promoting research in molecular biology.[4] From 1968 he served as director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) on Long Island, New York, greatly expanding its level of funding and research. At CSHL, he shifted his research emphasis to the study of cancer, along with making it a world leading research center in molecular biology. In 1994, he started as president and served for 10 years. He was then appointed chancellor, serving until 2007 [5] when he resigned his position after making controversial comments claiming a link between intelligence and geographical ancestry.[6][7][8][9][10] Between 1988 and 1992, Watson was associated with the National Institutes of Health, helping to establish the Human Genome Project.


Watson has written many science books, including the textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene[11] (1965) and his bestselling book The Double Helix[12] (1968) about the DNA structure discovery, reissued in a new edition in 2012 - The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix edited by Alex Gann and Jan Witkowski.[13]"

Marxist Dictatorship Within Western Academia
& Suppression of Politically Incorrect Science​

Dr. James Watson has a lot of credibility on making informed opinions, yet even someone like him with his achievements and expertise in his field of work cannot escape the tentacles of the powerful Leftist thugs and the politically correct atmosphere prevalent in the west for having simply stated a historical and scientific fact: That Africans/Blacks are less intelligent compared to East Asians and Europeans.

Just for stating this fact, Dr. Watson was labeled a "racist, "White supremacist", "Neo-Nazi",and every false accusation under the sun in order to diminish his credibility. Dr. Watson denied all of these allegations as false and attempts to destroy his reputation.

As a result of the decrease in his personal income due to the constant barrage of lies about him promoted by the Marxist establishment within major institutions of the West, Dr. Watson was forced to auction off his Nobel Prize in order to continue to make a living as well as donate the rest of the money to fund scientific research in the few academic institutions that still supported him.

D.r James Watson, forced to auction off his Nobel Prize Medal only for stating the obvious.​

Now here comes the interesting part:


Russia's Usmanov to give back Watson's auctioned Nobel medal

Alisher Usmanov, Russia's wealthiest man,described Mr Watson's situation as unacceptable​

Russia's richest man has revealed that he bought US scientist James Watson's Nobel Prize gold medal, and intends to return it to him.


Steel and telecoms tycoon Alisher Usmanov said Mr Watson "deserved" the medal, and that he was "distressed" the scientist had felt forced to sell it.


The medal, awarded in 1962 for the discovery of the structure of DNA, sold for $4.8m (£3m) at auction.


The medal was the first Nobel Prize to be put on sale by a living recipient.


The 1962 prize was awarded to Watson, along with Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick, with each receiving a gold medal.


Mr Watson, 86, has said he planned to donate part of the proceeds to charities and to support scientific research.


In an interview with the Financial Times recently, Mr Watson said he had been made to feel like an "unperson" since a Sunday Times interview seven years ago in which he linked race to intelligence.


Mr Usmanov said in a statement that he was the anonymous telephone bidder who bought the medal at a Christie's auction last week.


"In my opinion, a situation in which an outstanding scientist has to sell a medal recognizing his achievements is unacceptable," he added.


"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."


Mr Usmanov, said by Forbes magazine to be worth $15.8bn, is a major shareholder in Arsenal football club and was named Britain's wealthiest man in the Sunday Times rich list for 2013.

It seems that within the East there is more appreciation of racial Science than in the West. From my own personal experience people from Eastern countries in particular are very racially aware and don't fear expressing their pride in their own race, nation, ethnicity, and heritage, and thus are more accepting of/open to a racial perspective on many things.

Racism has no place in academia. Africans are as intelligent as anyone else.

"Nigeria my dear country is a prime example of the inferiority of the black race when compared to other races. Let somebody please tell me whether it is a manifestation of intelligence if a people cannot organise a free, fair and credible elect ion to choose who will lead them. Is it intelligence that we! cannot provide simple pipe-borne water for the people? Our public school system has virtually collapsed. Is that a sign of intelligence? Our roads are impassable. In spite of the numerous sources that nature has made available to us to tap for energy to run our industries and homes, we have no steady supply of electricity. Yet electricity is the bedrock of industrialisation. When you agree with the school of Watson, some say you are incorrect because all these failures are a result of poor leadership. Why must it be us blacks who must always suffer poor leadership? Is that not a manifestation of unintelligence?
In the name of international trade, bilateral co-operation, globalisation and other subterfuges, the norm in the world today is for smart people to appropriate the wealth of other people for themselves and their countries. But more among the blacks than any other race, the practice is to steal from their own country and salt away to other people's country. Is it intell igence that our leaders steal billions of naira and hide in other people's country?

I am really pained by our gross underachievement as a race. Instead of regarding bitter truths expressed by the likes of Watson as a wake-up call for us to engage in sober reflection, we take to the expression of woolly sentiment. For me, this type of reaction is a further evidence of our unintelligence. A man of intelligence recognises genuine criticism against him and takes ste ps to improve himself in order to prove his critics wrong. But for us blacks, our reaction is to abuse the man who expresses worries about our backwardness.
Other races are deeply worried about us because we are a problem to the world. We suffer from the five Ds: disorderliness, debts, diseases, deaths and disasters. Our disorderliness affects others or else they won't be too bothered about us. Many are afraid because our diseases could infect them. Polio has been eradicated all over the world yet it is still found in Nigeria here. When they give us money to help us eradicate it, our thieving officials will embezzle the money; the virus will spread and endanger the health of not only our people but other people as well.

If our political leaders are the reason for our backwardness, we should resolve to get the kind of leaders who will be instrument for our rapid progress. I may not know how intelligence is measured but my limited knowledge of intelligence is that i! t can al so be measured by the kind of leaders a people decide to have. If, for instance, our professors preside over the massive rigging of elections, it means that we do not have very intelligent professors. Such rigged elections will no doubt produce unintelligent leaders. Such unintelligent leaders will do stupid things which will prove that we are not as intelligent as other races. Do I sound confusing or intelligent?"

Its not just blacks. These thoughts are applicable to a non-black "nuclear power" as well.

Or maybe the businessman was simply trying to help a scientist who was ostracized by the scientific community for what I hear was one statement regarding the intelligence of Africans. There're plenty of people in the West who would have done the same, but the vocal and rabid anti-racists there would turn their lives to hell.

Very noble act by Russian oligarch!
