Basic Logic Source and Link Catalog

Purpose

This is the project-level catalog for links supplied by the user, links recovered from the supplied Reddit source dump, corrected primary-source replacements, mirrors, archives, and important references used in completed Basic Logic fact-checks. Inclusion records a source or provenance lead; it does not endorse a source’s factual claims or establish that Basic Logic used it.

How to read this catalog

LabelMeaning
User-suppliedThe user explicitly provided the URL or directed the research to it.
Recovered from supplied hubFound inside the Reddit thread/comment the user supplied for link recovery.
Primary or official comparatorAdded to restore a claim to the underlying paper, dataset, or agency report.
Candidate provenance sourceMay reveal where a citation, graphic, phrase, or argument circulated; direct use by Basic Logic is not established.
Mirror/archivePreserves access but is not preferred over a working primary source.
Polemical/secondaryUseful for tracing argument circulation; its interpretation requires independent verification.

Evidence boundary

A webpage’s presence here does not make it reliable. Image hosts, advocacy articles, Reddit comments, Substacks, Medium posts, forums, and polemical sites are provenance evidence until their claims are checked against primary sources. Similarity of sources or views cannot identify the channel’s creator.

Supplied Reddit source hub

The comment is important for provenance because it places race-and-crime graphics, FBI and NYPD tables, homicide claims, victimization data, IQ heritability, neuroscience, population genetics, education gaps, alleged polygenic selection, Wu–Zhang, and Cheng et al. in one ready-made bundle. It proves that these materials circulated together. It does not prove that Basic Logic used the comment.

Crime, homicide, victimization, and incarceration

“2016 Violent Crime FBI stats” bundle

The original source-dump label says 2016, but the linked FBI table is explicitly an arrest table from 2011. Arrests are not a census of crimes committed.

2018 New York City crime and enforcement bundle

The NYPD report distinguishes victims, known suspects, and arrestees. Suspect race/ethnicity can derive from victim descriptions and is unavailable in many cases; the categories cannot be substituted for one another.

“The CDC Confirms It” homicide bundle

The quoted phrase is the title of a secondary Unz commentary, not a CDC conclusion.

County concentration of homicide

The geographic concentration of recorded murders does not itself identify race, economics, family structure, policing, or any other proposed cause.

King County firearm-violence claim

“Whites account for 0% of Black rapes” / 2005 NCVS table

The relevant rape/sexual-assault cell is starred as based on roughly ten or fewer sample cases. A displayed zero in a sparse survey cell is not proof of an impossible event or a stable population rate.

Race, wealth, and incarceration

Gun ownership, race, and gun-homicide infographic

General crime-statistics infographic

“Why Do Black People Commit More Crime?”

“Racial differences in homicide rates are poorly explained by economics”

IQ, testing, neuroscience, and education

These links were recovered from the supplied Reddit hub. Their adjacency to the crime links is itself provenance evidence; their labels are not accepted as accurate summaries without source-specific review.

IQ heritability

Frontotemporal anatomy

Education, aptitude testing, and class

National-IQ map and methodological comparators

Genetics, ancestry, admixture, and hereditarian bundle

Four central papers in the genetics video

Direct admixture and mixed-ancestry evidence used in the audit

Elite theory, social mobility, assortative mating, and caste

Italian elite theory

Evidentiary result: the organized-minority and elite-circulation concepts are genuine. They concern political organization, power, recruitment, and decline; they do not establish hereditary ruling genotypes.

Long-run mobility and industrial elites

Evidentiary result: industrialization changed routes to wealth and status, some elite families declined, and intermarriage occurred. No located source measures a dispersal of “ruling” alleles into Europeans or establishes that Europe had the world’s fastest genetic elite turnover.

Assortative mating and inherited traits

Evidentiary result: assortative mating is real; the sources do not identify an aristocratic genotype composed of intellect, charisma, cunning, and martial prowess or link it to governing performance.

Fertility, welfare, migrant skills, and national IQ

Evidentiary result: some education/fertility and migrant/native skill differences are measurable, but neither set of averages demonstrates welfare-caused genetic decline or licenses assigning a national score to an individual migrant.

Caste endogamy and the Aristotle passage

Evidentiary result: Indian endogamy is real population history, not evidence of fixed occupational aptitude or political loyalty. The Aristotle quotation is substantially authentic; the video’s frame changes “hostile” to “rivals,” and authenticity does not establish modern policy intent.

Evidentiary status of the visible source chain

“Europe’s Elite Turnover” slideCreator summary naming Gregory ClarkClark source family identified; slide’s central interpretation runs against the Sweden paper’s slow-persistence result

Indian caste pyramidGeneric creator graphicEndogamy has evidence; a fixed aptitude/loyalty hierarchy does not
Aristotle quotationPolitics 5.1314aSubstantially authentic; translation altered from “hostile” to “rivals”; modern application unsupported

Africa, development, colonialism, slavery, and aid

Water infrastructure, aid arithmetic, and patience

The unnamed work/bribery anecdotes, exact cumulative aid headline, and 40% early-failure statistic remain untraced. A source gap is recorded as unresolved provenance, not proof of fabrication.

Civil-rights law, employment, education, and displayed sources

Statutory text and agency guidance

Supreme Court decisions

Desegregation, homeschooling, and public opinion

Data, displayed news frames, and economic research

Armed “Fed” figuresCreator-made graphic, apparently invoking Little RockHistorical chronology and purpose inverted
Thomas Sowell quotationAttribution displayed by Basic LogicExact primary publication or recording not yet authenticated

Orania, cultural psychology, diversity, and anti-racism

Orania history, governance, and energy

Cultural psychology, trust, and cross-cultural morality

Evidentiary result: cultural variation and some diversity–trust association are real research topics. The located literature does not establish three sealed civilizational types, a ladder of moral comprehension, or an automatic diversity → fear → force law.

Anti-racism chronology and the closing quotation

Evidentiary result: anti-racist political language and organization long predate the video’s implied late, coordinated teaching event. The closing quotation is misattributed to the very political figure Hamilton was criticizing, altered from “Grecian Horse” to “Trojan horse,” and detached from its partisan context.

Source-maintenance rules

  1. Preserve a supplied URL even when it is malformed; place the repaired or canonical link beside it.
  2. Prefer a working primary source over an image, mirror, archive, blog, or commentary for factual adjudication.
  3. Keep mirrors when they preserve a deleted or changed source, but label them as mirrors.
  4. Record what the source actually measures: year, geography, sample, unit, numerator, denominator, and missing-data rules.
  5. Link each evidence cluster to the dossier that audits it and each dossier back to this catalog.
  6. Do not treat a citation-cluster match as proof of direct copying or creator identity.
  7. Move a source from candidate to verified direct use only when there is a direct link, explicit credit, distinctive copied wording, an identically modified graphic, archived interaction, or comparably strong evidence.
  • Why Black America Owes Reparations: recover the dated 2026 fiscal workbook; reproduce the homicide national-file transformation; independently match Murray’s weighted main Table 6; obtain patent/assignment, named church transfers and customs authentication before upgrading those claims. Unrecovered does not mean false.

  • Check all image-host and archive links for continued accessibility without deleting dead URLs.

  • Recover the exact upstream source of the Africa video’s “History’s Worst Slavers” slide.

  • Match the exact Basic Logic crops of Wu–Zhang, Gaspar–Breen, MTRAS, and the Lynn–Vanhanen map to the earliest located copies.

  • Trace the false 78% Black two-parent baseline to its immediate source.

  • Recover the exact sources for the 9% gang share, 50% Black gang share, 71% child-sex-crime claim, and “1 in 20” subgroup estimate.

  • Add the primary legal, historical, economic, and data sources used for An Honest Review of Civil Rights. — completed 2026-09-03

  • Trace the immediate source of the video’s fear–shame–guilt wording and slide rather than stopping at the broader missiological source family.

  • Trace the immediate source of the Hamilton-to-Jefferson misattribution and the wording changes from “Grecian Horse” to “Trojan horse.”

  • Recover the complete upstream compilation behind the migration/asylum and racism-compensation headline collages.

2025 homicide-offender follow-up — October 7, 2026

Canonical findings and calculations: FBI 2025 SHR master file and codebook, Census 2025 population estimates, and FBI annual release. Original record archive, population workbook and codebook are preserved in the dossier’s linked assets. Recorded rates: inclusive-White male 4.01, Black female 3.18; non-Hispanic White male 2.51 only under proportional allocation of missing ethnicity, with an ethnicity-assignment sensitivity range 1.80–3.27. Original 2021 heatmap transformation remains unreproduced. See S36–S39 in the dossier for provenance and source-version limits.
