Hello Ron!
I fully appreciate that you’re a very busy guy with a lot on your plate, but I still wanted to make sure that you read a comment that I made to you within the last Open Thread, #275:
This is the type of story that I could see you bite your teeth into. I appreciate your investigative writing style, as I’m sure many others here do as well!
In recent Israel instigated war against Iran, Israel made a fatal mistake that will cause its complete defeat. Despite the American MSM lies, Israel run out of missiles, money and left damaged. The negotiated ceasefire was staged by the US-Iran “gentleman” agreement of prearranged reciprocated missile attacked without casualties.
Putin (but not the Russian government) inefficient support of Iran onslaught of Israel, stemming from his personal friendship with Israelis, is responsible for the Iran’s temporary acceptance of a shaky ceasefire – it has nothing to do with the Trump symbolic bombing. Putin’s childhood Jewish teacher and the large Russian community living in Israel makes him to some degree tolerate Israel arrogance.

I am sure the ace reporters will soon fill this vacuum and fix the problem but the universe cries out:
where the hell is Greta Therber when we need her?
We are an empire now and we create our own reality!
S&P 500 is > 6000
Bitcoin is > 110 000
Probably nobody in Israel or Washington who counts is complaining although I don’t have any inside information.
Iran’s humiliation is effectively complete:
• They lost in Syria
• Hezbollah lost in Lebanon
• Hamas October 7 attack backfired
• Their nuclear weapons program is set damaged
• Iranian air defenses completely failed to keep Israel out
• They are almost out of long range missiles that can reach Jewish Palestine
• Russia did not come to their aid
• China twisted their arm to keep the Hormuz open
Fundamentally, Iran is a country with no friends. They were left begging for a cease-fire, which was graciously granted.

Everyone serious grasps that the current Ayatollah Khamenei will be the last 1979 era revolutionary. The most likely successor is his son the prince, Mojtaba Khamenei. He is neither a revolutionary nor a theologian. The titles may not officially change, but he will effectively be King Mojtaba and rule as such.
The key is thus buying time. Even if some equipment is merely buried, the U.S. successfully set back Iran’s nuclear program by years. How long will the current Ayatollah hang on?
PEACE 😇
You must have seen the childish and embarrassing display of Rubio and Hegseth explaining the details of failed bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities – without any real info. The US would not risk WWIII for the attack of an active nuclear facility – it was vacated stupid.
Your silly dooms scenarios of Iran – a winner of this scrimmage – are easy refuted by Netanyahu begging both Trump and Putin for at least temporary relieve of the Iran ballistic missiles onslaught. Iran used 550 missiles on Israel from a total of 3500. This is a very dangerous situation for Israel, for real eventuality of coordinated Islam strike to complete the job. Revenge of the Gaza genocide is a strong unifying force for them.
“S&P 500 > 6000”

As my French friends would say: Tout ça pour ça…
Now we understand better why the British elites have sabotaged the peace talks in Istanbul and in general are pushing for an increase in warfare intensity in the RF/Ukraine conflict.
They simply want to:
1) prevent the raising of a unified, industrialized and prosperous Eurasia to which their insular and ressources’ depleted country would be largely irrelevant.
2) just like in the previous 200 years, they want to attempt playing again a leading role in a fractured and divided Eurasia.
3) by doing this they hope to have more leverage on their American partners that they would not hesitate to manipulate and backstab if/when needed.
Everything else is just verbiage…
Meanwhile, in the real (formerly) Great Britain (not the « rule Britania» phantom limb vestigial hallucination of the British elites), this is what is happening on a daily basis:
Video Link
Shouldn’t the Brits put their own house in order before their elites attempting to «provide leadership » to Europe again (like in WWI, WWll and the Cold War if you see what I mean) ?
I think that most “developed” countries in the world today have problems associated with squatters and illegal aliens. Sure, I’d have to agree with you, that if these countries would stay put and concentrated on resolving their own domestic problems the world would be a better place. It’s too bad that you don’t tend to be as vocal about these issues regarding Russia, your home country too. Rarely if ever do we hear any criticism coming from you regarding Russian elites pretext for starting a huge war in Ukraine, “looking for Nazis within Ukraine” and bombing many civilian areas in the process of doing so. Your lame explanation that both sides are at fault somehow equally 50/50 is a copout where you seem afraid to tackle the real issues of guilt and responsibility of the aggressor state.
Iran used at least 550 of its maximum 650 long range missiles. Everyone serious knows that Iran lies about its capabilities. Iranian Hezbollah claimed to have 100,000+ accurate missiles it could rain down on Israel. Nasrallah did not have anything like that. With it’s bluff called in Lebanon, the same Iranian propaganda is not working now either.
While Iran has other munitions, their shorter ranges are only suitable for attacking targets such as Saudi Arabia and UAE. China effectively vetoed any such escalation as keeping the Hormuz open is a strategic priority.
Iran’s Uranium enrichment facilities were in use and could not have been quickly evacuated. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to re-read my prior post to S1. Here is the key highlight: (1)
Striking operating facilities carried absolutely no risk of WW III. Ruptures from working tanks and centrifuges were buried with minimal chance of above ground release. If equipment did survive on lower levels (unproven but possible) its recovery will be complicated by toxic and radioactive contamination.
Iran’s air defenses had little or no value. This result surprises no one. Israel has been flying F-16I versus everything up through S-300 for years over Lebanon and Syria.
The combination of these events left a humiliated Iran begging for a ceasefire. Much as we saw a few years ago, they were allowed a symbolic last strike. That gesture was 100% intercepted or off target inflicting no damage.

Remember, America’s goal was *not* regime change: (2)
Successfully setting back the Ayatollah’s nuke program by years is all the U.S. needed to achieve. Iran’s leadership structure will radically change in the foreseeable future as power is transitioning away from the last of the 1979 revolutionaries. A country that is sane and stops trying to drag the region into chaos would be a huge improvement.
PEACE 😇

What goes around, comes around.…Do you also see the pretexts used by the West, looking for Hitlers in Russia, Iran, Serbia, even Belarus, bombing like mad killing about 100 times more people than Russia ever did? Have you been paying attention?
It matters: you can’t posture about the others when you represent countries that do worse. You say nothing about it and shrug your shoulders, it ‘had to be done‘…
Your idea the world can work like that is narcissism. The universe requires a balance, the balance is being restored now and it’s not pretty. We have unleashed the demons and they are fighting it out. Once the dust settles – if we are still here – we can look back at pretexts, justice, and all that other stuff. It was the West that initially broke all the rules and tried to go for the jugular.
If you can explain why else would they move NATO to Ukraine and try to get Crimea bases, tell us. There is no other rational explanation. Ukies were used and they are paying a horrible price.
Bashibuzuk should be proud of himself. He seems to have found an enthusiastic adept of his “all sides are equally responsible (50/50)” political views. It’s a simple and attractive philosophy! 🙂
If this stupid and aggressive Russian inspired war in Ukraine has shown the world anything, it’s that Ukraine’s desire to be a part of NATO is fully justified, as a strong precautionary deterrence against crazy Russian aggression. It’s too bad that Ukraine didn’t apply for NATO membership any sooner, that would have preempted any stupid Russian civilian manhunts in the quest to stamp out Nazism within Ukraine.
So now you are trying to play a sane guy here, ‘no regime change, no, never…‘, only a small enemy-maintenance action. You have dramatically scaled back the original objectives to make yourself feel better.
The goal was ‘regime change’ and it failed. It strengthened the government in Tehran, any hope for change has been delayed. Blowing up a mountain – partially – has no military significance, whatever was under it was unusable and unused. It still is.
But the world saw an unprovoked aggression cheered on by Trump. The last vestiges of soft power are gone, others will adapt and the big loser is the West. It accomplished nothing at a huge cost, including very massive damage to Israel. It showed clearly that any wars now are two-way streets – no more “shock-and-awe”. That era is over, who do you think that benefits?
The damage to MAGA-Trumpism is irrecoverable. He turned out to be a carnival hawker, an unserious blow-hard easily manipulated, always trying to have it both ways. The MAGA collapse – and the accompanying Euro moral collapse – means the last best hope to recover the West, to stop the rot and address the problems, is gone for a generation. By then it could be demographically and economically too late. It’s quite a price to pay for shaking a few remote mountains…
Classical chicken-and-egg trap, you lose either way. The only known solution to the chicken-and-egg dilemma is to avoid getting into one. It was possible in Ukraine with a normal compromise – Kiev directed by NATO rejected it.
What we are dealing with now are the consequences of that stupid decision.
Regarding Nazism in Ukraine: do you deny there are substantial influential groups of Nazi celebrators in Ukraine? Unlike in EU they are allowed to march, shout, intimidate, celebrate mass killers like the Galician SS and Bandera? It is in very bad taste. (There is one exception, the tiny Latvia also does it but on a much smaller scale.)
The confusion about the new MI6 head bitch’s family is gradually being dispelled.
Her grandpa was a Nazi whose nickname in Ukraine was the Butcher. : )
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0l406gpydgo
Also he exterminated Jews! Somebody at the U.S. embassy could get her and Victoria Nuland at the same diversity function. Also if any Nazis had better nicknames than Ukraine Nazis I would like to see them.
Oh come on. There are Nazi clubs all over the continent except they are mostly private like Bilderberg.
True, Chuck II goes too and lots of Germans, Austrians and Swiss. But they only direct it, the muscle is out in the public to be mocked as too vulgar…
Zelko playing a piano…they can talk about how their grandparents would kill each other on the spot. (Zelko’s grandpa was in the Red Army, oh, the horror…)
Now it’s so simple – they finally see the errors of their ways and know the only people who need to be killed are Russians, always and everywhere. Go for it girls!
No. I *AM* the sane one here. You have not refuted a single point that I have made.
Your highly emotional unhinged ranting makes you come across like a crazy person.
Facts are facts. You cannot get a way with denying them. Why do you try?
Trying to force regime change would require American ground troops. Were there any? No. Therefore, it is incredibly obvious that regime change was *not* the goal. You need to stop making stuff up.
ROTFLMAO — What MAGA collapse?
Trump’s “Total Approval” has been 51-53% for the entire 12 days of Iranian humiliation (1).
You cannot refute the numbers. Are you really going to claim “facts don’t matter”? You can try, but it will not work.
______
We get it. You are in deep despair because your precious Ayatollah was forced to cave. No one likes current Iranian leadership or the terrorists of Iranian Hamas. Who came to his assistance?
• No Arab Sunni country helped
• Türkiye did not help
• Shia Iraq did not help
• China did not help
• Russia did not help
You need to calm down and be more rational. The facts remain facts no matter how often you emotionally reject actual reality.
PEACE 😇

The best part is they did not make Voldemort into a disfigured ghoul. He is just another nasty, powerful conquerer to be dispatched by the forces of light.
I wonder if Bashi is being partially shadow banned in your feed such that you only read the posts which line up with your pro-Ukraine perspective? Bashi has made many strong criticisms of Putin and the RusFed government. Did you somehow miss these?
I have been writing about problems in Russia for years now. I contradicted Karlin and even AP on many occasions. You might want to remember that I have always been very critical of Putin and his circle, while before 2022 AP saw Putin in a somewhat positive light.
And I have also always been very clear about my opinion on Tsarist Empire, it didn’t benefit the average Russian who was used as Empire building material and cannon fodder. But the same applies to an average Brit in the Empire’s days, and today to most average Americans. Empires benefit the elites, that’s why when they can they become imperialistic. And the global West is an empire today.
The Globalist are neo-imperialists and neocolonialists, this is especially true of the neoliberals/neocons (same thing really). The number the countries they invaded and bombed in the past two generations and that are completely unrelated to Russia demonstrates that it’s not about Russia, freedom or democracy, and entirely about protecting the Globalist privilege from any potential competitors.
NATO is the armed forces of the global West. Joining NATO means joining the Globalist neo-imperial alliance and becoming a colony/province in that postmodern Empire. If a country wants true independence, it should stay clear of any entanglement with NATO. So denouncing imperialism, while supporting NATO is shortsighted at best, and hypocritical at worst.
The purpose of Ukrainian NeoNazis is to suppress those Ukrainians who would fight the Western takeover of the system. The groups have been funded by Jews and are accepted by the government, despite acting as criminals and thugs against law abiding Ukrainian citizens. Like other violent, useful idiot groups they would be killed off once the puppet masters achieve their goals. Success now seems unlikely so the surviving NeoNazis will be exported as government-funded criminals to the degree they can be useful elsewhere with a bunch of inflammatory tattoos. The rest will simply be imprisoned or executed in various ways.
In this proxy war the power of the NeoNazi nationalist ideas is not their value, though that may help them gain traction. Kolomoisky did not publicly fund Azov because he agrees with or approves of their Slavic Nationalist perspective. These people are simply a weapon to be used and discarded. The situation is wildly different from what some Nationalist Idealists might hope for with a proud, reasonable and self-protective group living the nationalist ideology. Maybe that can happen but it will not involve Western-supported thugs.
It is much sadder than that. It is a fake and gay country of Cartesians and their most notable wikipedia detail is
Without the regalia the poor guys might go poof and disappear.
It’s not that I don’t remember your criticisms of the new Russia after Yeltsin and his hand picked succesor Putler came to pwer, it’s just that I don’t feel that you’ve paid enough attention to the current war in Ukraaine, and haven’t alloted enough blame to the Russian side. You do see that there are different roles that should be morally assessed to the party that first crossed its neighbor’s borders and stole property than to the one that has basically reacted to these incursions? Or do you really see that the the two sides are equally culpable combatants in this war?
Nations are a post-enlightenment construct. They’re abstract. What’s real is down to earth families, clans, tribes, bloodlines. These organise into religious and cultural communities and persist as such if they don’t end up swallowed and digested by a nation simulacrum. Being a nationalist is being at the service of a simulacrum.
I see a globalist empire fighting one of its rebellious provincial elites that aspires to a more powerful role inside that’s empire’s structure. That’s all I see. Russians, Ukrainians, “whatever-ians” are just expendable pawns in a bloody game of dominance. It’s a typical example of паны дерутся, а у холопов чубы трещат. The fact that наши люди ended up divided and thrown at each other’s throats, shows how gullible they are. It’s sad, it’s tragic but it is what it is…
Yes, they should get their own house in order, before doing anything else.
Those presumably ‘conservative’ British MP’s in the video (as in the US, what exactly is it that they are ‘conserving’) should not be wasting their time with their do nothing ‘fact finding’ with the apparent Roma ‘migrants’ that are featured in the video, as interesting as that might be, but instead should be working on finding ways to ensure that they as British MP’s and their largely deracinated British constituents simply survive an (imo) likely Russian style civil war which may very soon overtake the whole of the Anglosphere.
As conservative British MP’s and constituents their physical lives and well being are increasingly in extreme danger at the hands of the plainly murder minded modern so called ‘progressives’, who in their dangerous delusions see ‘conservatives’ in particular, amongst quite a few others, as quite literal ‘Nazis’, and thus having no rights at all, including the most important and basic right to simply live.
Having said that, and wholly leaving aside what one might think of events outside of the UK at present, why would anyone agree to fight for a [British] regime which not only at minimum is indifferent to your fate, but in general, as in the case of the organic British likely to do most of the fighting and dying in any near term war, is clearly actively hostile to your well being?
[It’s a manufactured false dichotomy to say it’s either you support Starmer or Putin, both of whom I see as controlled opposition. One can support neither, and support instead the well being of the traditional British people.]
Is all so humorous. Her grandfather’s “exploits” probably moved her resume to the top of the stack. The (((puppet masters))) still have the problem that only half the Russia haters are Jewish so they get into these tricky situations with their non-Jewish Russia-hater fellow travelers. Wanted: “Smart, crazed and ruthless employees to maintain a world domination franchise. Must hate Russians and love Jews.”

Couldn’t agree more. Spot on. I just have nothing to add.
Nobody provoked Puler’s kremlin to attack and try to dominate Ukraine. Russia’s goals of influence in Ukraine would have been much more further evolved had it continued to support soft power channels, continued to evolve business structures between the two countries. Had this stupid war not evolved, Russia’s energy industry would have raked in trillions of dollars over the last four years, that could have been used to better Russia’s internal structures and fuel many soft power structures within Ukraine. Intead, what we can see within Russia and Ukraine, where millions of lives are being wasted and where Russia is still hell bent on trying to destroy imaginary Nazis within Ukraine.
There’s really no reason to try and invent imaginary boogeymen in Brussels or Washington that are behind egomaniac Putler’s impotent wet dreams, when the real architects of this disaster are to be found within the kremlin, and nowhere else. 🙁
Russia is hated by IslamoGloboHomo. Exceedingly few (possbly none) of the puppet masters of Europe’s Folly in Ukraine are practicing Jews. List the key players and they are all known Islamophiles who dislike genuine Judeo-Christians.
• Not-a-Jew Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel
• Not-a-Jew Scholz
• Not-a-Jew Merz
• Not-a-Jew Macron
• Not-a-Jew BoJo
Führer Zelensky, enemy of the Jews, is an open anti-semite. His Azov neo-Nazi cohort loathes Jews.
____
Look how far the UK has fallen because of anti-Semitic IslamoGloboHomo.
Islamophile elites from both Labor and the Tories are for open Muslim borders. They continue to impose worsening conditions on their Judeo-Christian citizens. The UK may have a chance with Reform, but that party is nowhere near as strong as Judeo-Christian MAGA.
Are France and Germany doomed? Not only are they controlled by IslamoGloboHomo, they are cursed with EU membership. Antisemitic Brussels Islamophiles thwart efforts to protect Judeo-Christian sovereignty. Look at what they regularly try in the Visegrád 4 countries.
PEACE 😇
Simple minds produce simple thoughts…I don’t know if you realize but your kiddie pictures reflect your low level of thinking. But you don’t address what’s going on.
Ukie Nazis: do you deny they exist? marching, SS Galicia, streets named after Nazi heroes, statues and museums… There is no other country that does it. They exist, they intimidate everyone – you pretending the elephant on the table isn’t there is deranged…
If you read the BBC report her grandpa was wanted in the Soviet Union and UK gave him sanctuary. The UK needs a sexy moniker like paperclip. Maybe they have one already and I’m just ignorant.
How war-criminal the fellow was is another detail I would be interested in reading and have not yet come across. The BBC has her as Sergeant Schultz–never met him, never knew him. The wikipedia is pretty juicy. They say there is a 500 page file on grandpa and her dad did the re-naming operation. Dad was a big shot medical doctor.
Also the Westminster prep school – Cambridge university pipeline is a historically rich path for British war criminals.
Whatever makes you feel good Mr Hack. I am not writing here to convince you or anyone. I write what I think is true and reasonable, but I might be wrong. I am a human and humans make mistakes. I hope you think about it when you see the events evolving in Ukraine. Ukrainians have made mistakes, so did Russians, it led them to a conflict and now they die and suffer. Should have been wiser and more peaceful and tolerant both of them. Now the only way to stop this madness is to achieve peace. I am hopeful that it will happen soon. If not, suffering will continue and might even increase. That’s about it. Have a good weekend.
It’s the same thing in US and Canada, they took in a lot of these post-WWll refugees that have collaborated with the Nazis. There were hundreds of thousands of them. Most Ukrainians emigrating to US/Canada immediately after WWII were people who helped the Nazi against the Soviets. Sometimes they also killed Jews that the Soviets tried to save from a total annihilation. By saving Jews, the Soviets made a mistake that eventually contributed to the Perestroika, Americans are making a similar mistake nowadays, it will lead to US degradation and decline. Similar causes leading to similar consequences.
Nothing that I’ve written above makes me feel good. You’ve managed to not address a single point that I’ve made, so it appears to me that in order for you to “feel good” you’re pretending that you’ve not read anything that I’ve written, ignore it, and continue to live in your own “safe” little bubble.
Either you think that Putler is responsible for his actions within Ukraine, or that he’s taking his marching orders from some unnamed “elite globalist” leader(s). So which is it? Who are they??…
British rulers are burning the ships. There is no going back, they are publicly committing to a war with Russia. They also want to show it – the appointment was intentionally stage-managed – to make sure everyone understands…
The question whether she is any way responsible for her grandpa is the wrong question – it is a sinecure position with mostly symbolic value. It would be like Germany appointing the grandson of Auschwitz commander to be the head of their secret service. Was there really nobody else available?
It’s also an own goal, losing points for no gain. Maybe BoJo is still in charge…:)
I agree the war crime connections are purely symbolic and they are a feature, not a bug. If her family was not notorious she wouldn’t be where she is.
Are there any extant Curtis LeMay descendants available for service?
According to the equivalent of pope in Kremlin system, putin stanning A123 should be called agent provocateur, worthy of expulsion for his constant dirthmouthing about islam and dear muslim brothers;)

Some Americans seem to start understanding that something is not right. Is it about time to tell that “the Goyim – they know.” ?
Conditions create consequences, you get that ?
Do you think Putin exists in an unconditional vacuum ?
Him and Zelensky and everyone else, both of us included, are conditioned beings.
A few days ago I was talking to one of my cousins in Saint Petersburg, he is a very average Russian, used to own a small business, is in security now. This is what he had to tell me about Putin: “чей он не понятно, но уж точно не наш.» And about the war in Ukraine: “стравили нас с хохлами, теперь приходится друг-друга убивать». He’s just a super normal guy in Peter, no higher education, no political affiliation. But he understands more than most Russians and Ukrainians, not to mention Westerners.
But he’s not alone, look up this:

Read the comments Mr Hack, put aside your American Me personality for a moment if you can and try to understand what is said in that video and written in these comments. If you can’t, then so be it, I will just wish you all the best and let’s just leave it at that.
Burn baby, burn!
🙁
I don’t know what the Orthodox church really thinks about Islam. I suspect the leaders are politically astute enough to recognize this is a bad time to allow religious tensions in Russia to be used by cynical and evil third parties to start a civil war in order to wreck the country.
It looks like you saw the sneak video from Bezos’ bachelor party.
Yet apparently it is nothing but the best imaginable time for all those astute leaders to import millions of fast breeder muslims into RF while simultaneously gleefully killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of own barely breeding native people;)
Mr. Hack won’t understand, he is in his good-and-evil Manichean world dominated by the common American misunderstanding of the world around. He is a lost cause.
I have a question (good video by the way): we are seeing the war as an unnecessary tragedy, both sides are guilty and nobody is ours. Everybody has their truth and it just collided. It goes with the historical axiom that in wars people fighting are all equally in the right – or they wouldn’t risk their lives. Wars are fought by the righteous among us.
Was there an alternative? Could the war be avoided? My reading of the situation – with all due respect to your relative in St. Peter – is that Russia had no alternative. If they didn’t move in 2022 (or 2014 in Crimea) they would be taken apart. Maybe gradually, maybe with more crisis and bloodshed, but the goal to take Russia apart was definitely there. With Ukraine under full NATO control Russia would have no chance but to resort to nukes – would they?
Ukraine had a choice, any neutral deal would do. NATO had a choice not to march eastward. It’s not about guilt or who is right, it’s much more basic, almost biological, to be or not to be…Russia faced that dilemma and Ukraine ended up taking it on. Only NATO is a remote gambler, placing bets, pushing the war, and yet with nothing to lose and everything to gain. No wonder they want to keep it going.
Thanks, is a great video.
Bezos as well might have taken Jocelyn Wildenstein if only she was not dead unfortunately?
It cuts both ways, daddy was probably an agent. It’s very charming when Nazis do nepotism: Porky with his Ukie-Nazi wife, the Freedland witch in Canada, Baerbock, Scholz, Merz – all in the Volkish family. They sheepishly bring grandpa’s Iron Cross from the Eastern front after dinner for trusted visitors (I have seen it)…
I suspect people named Curtis usually don’t have descendants…maybe that’s why he was so angry.
Look at those lips and his smile…Coincidence? I think not…
Thanks for the post. That is a very interesting article about the ‘special relationship’ between the United States and the United Kingdom.
I thought it telling that it was the American Embassy which is hosting the ’roundtable’ event, when at the very least the ‘special relationship is supposed to be ‘fractured’ at this time.
I was a little bit curious about the background of the think tank, ie the Council on Geo-Strategy, which wrote and published this intriguing paper.
It was started up in 2021.
A variety of international arms merchants and the British government help to finance it.
One of it’s big funders is the 72 year old English billionaire John Caudwell, who (and maybe this is coincidental, but maybe it’s not in the overall scheme) is married to a much younger former Lithuanian athlete.
There were two co-founders who continue to direct the organization at this time.
One of these co-founders, James Rogers, is British, and amongst other places was formerly employed by the Baltic Defence College
The other co-founder is Lithuanian born 34 year old Viktorija Starych-Samuoliene, who holds a masters degree from King’s College London in Intelligence and International Security, a degree which (just as it sounds) you might want to have if you were to work for a government intel agency in Britain.
That’s Viktorija below (in the middle) at a ‘meet and greet’ circa 2021 with the then Prince of Wales, and now King Charles.
Below are some short videos of her. Note that the First Sea Lord’s Seapower Conference for 2025, which is to be hosted by the Council on Geopolitical Strategy, is being held at Lancaster House, which is just next door to Buckingham Palace. It was postponed this year due to the First Sea Lord’s resignation.
Anyhow, not that I wish it, I think the overall intention of the perpetrators of any would be WWIII, is that the bulk of Europe (both Western and Eastern) and Russia, are to largely destroy each other, rather than for anyone to triumph over the other.
Hopefully things won’t ultimately come to that.
They are always all natural to the bone!
We might not ever run out of examples to illustrate that having gobs of money does not help us much. The man who I knew the closest who had the most dough definitely did not benefit. The last time I saw him he looked dreadful and complained about what the years had done to his looks. I did not have the heart to tell him it was less the years and more the cigarettes and booze and cocaine.
Go outside and get some SUN on your BALLS.
You know if somebody has the genetic stamina to live 80+ years with all that amount of chronic surgery then maybe choice between having wrinkles instead of smoother looking balloon head is not that clearly obvious to make?
It becomes the clearly bad choice only if somebody croaks at the age of 50 like King of Pop lol
Yes, but you’ve been critical of Putin for being weak and not having strengthened Russia from within enough so that, if at some point, it would want to try foreign escapades, they would not end up the way that Putin’s SMO did. You supported Dumin being president and Dumin is the one who masterminded the annexation of Crimea. So you have no issue with Russia being expansionist and having some God given right to dominate others against their will.
You are not content with Russia to be a normal nation state that doesn’t meddle with others, but you long for some kind of a “Eurasian” leadership role for Russia (and leadership in Russia’s case often ends up with overreach on Russia’s part and sometimes lack of competence).
Well, “true independence” (your subjective definition of it since most NATO states do have a considerable amount of independence and sovereignty, while they also have interdependence) would require no entanglements of any kind – including with Russia or China. Or any supranational entities such as for example the international banking system or all kinds of multi-national corporate interests.
Michael Jackson was murdered the year he became worth more money dead than alive. Before that the poor fellow was screwed over by every person he trusted including his doctors and family members.

‘But the fear of being killed at the behest of a foreign government has hung over the president and his senior team for months, an anxiety-producing din that has limited their daily routine, especially after two failed assassination attempts by alleged homegrown assailants. Now some Trump allies are privately wondering how much the ever-present risk is shaping the president’s thinking about the current conflict.’
Well, no surprise here: British aristocracy, arms’ merchants, Baltic agents. It’s all the usual stuff. The only thing I find surprising is that Viktorija looks not Baltic at all, more of a mestizo. But it’s probably her mother standing by her side talking to the King, so the dad would be an ethnic Lithuanian, while the mother is Asian.
The whole British modus operandi for Europe has been for centuries to avoid the alliance of Western and Eastern European countries, especially avoid the alliance of Germany and Russia. Preferably push Germany and Russia to fight each other. It didn’t change, it’s the same thing really, push EU and RF to fight each other, while UK is positioning itself as a power broker in the Intermarium stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. That way, the British would be the arbiter of the logistics and economic exchanges between Asia and Europe.
Re. WWWlll, these people are reckless enough to push the conflict closer to a nuclear war, but they don’t want their possessions destroyed. They’d be happy to see the useless eaters gone for good and replaced with AI, automation and robots, but they don’t want to be hiding in a bunker for a generation time. So no, I don’t think they’d go all in towards a nuclear war.
Unlike yours, it’s a blood and soil country which by definition cannot be “fake”.
By this definition, a “Eurasian empire” which you seem to pine for, is an even worse phenomenon.
You called the continent of Europe a “peninsula” and you said that Europe needs to be “shown its place”. That’s some major megalomania.
Not gonna argue about that but IIRC poor MJ at the ripe old age of nearing 50 had problem with standing on stage if not having some stimulant coctail administered beforehand, so the potential murder did not struck him at the peak of the usual expected dadbod power either.
Returning to the Bezos behaviour, maybe his black techno augmented reality AI glasses are always somehow projecting the past images like this into the eyes, which could make all the situation way more bearable lol
You seem to imagine things about me. I am against any and all empires. I am more about confederations of closely related populations. In fact, clans, tribes, strong local direct democracy organized in a network of mutually beneficial relationships. That would be the ideal scenario, our ancestors lived that way for thousands of years. It’s still doable today, it’s actually even probably easier using the latest technology.
Yes, Europe is just a peninsula of the Eurasian continent and it absolutely needs to be shown its place that is not as central and important as it was some 150 years ago. It has nothing to do with megalomania and everything to do with common sense and geography coupled to the demographic and economic realities of our time.
I know that you would like to fight some «evil Russky Imperialist» online, and I also know that I am probably the only Russian chatting here, but I am sorry to disappoint you: I am not and have never been an imperialist. Even in my younger РНЕ days, it was not an empire, not a country, not a nation, but my people that I was standing for. In a biological, genetic sense. That’s way more real than any of these political abstractions.
Trump could very easily reform Britian and Ireland through blockade. The solution to wokeness there is simple: blockade.
Mainland Europe is a bit harder to figure out.
But I was thinking Trump could hand out licenses to troll to individual posters on social media. To call Scholz “shifty-eyed” or that fat Green a “landwhale.”. Each license coming with the implicit threat of American consequences, if they are arrested or otherwise harassed by the state. The beauty of it is that the risks of going after each licensee easily outway the possible rewards.
I think the answer is yes. It could and should have been avoided. RF Noviops weren’t fit for the job. The Ukrainian Noviop either. That’s why we are having that bloodshed. The external forces are important, but not as important as internal elite dynamics of RF and Ukraine and the way these two elites managed their respective populations. It’s a long story but that war was absolutely not necessary. However, to prevent it things should have been done completely differently even before the fall of the USSR.
I might have located the presentation through which Andrew Huberman acquired 6 girlfriends who all thought they were going steady and let him bang them with no condom. He is a nerd but this is very good.
The internet needs better graphics showing vagus nerve possibilities.
She’s not ethnic Lithuanian – not just because she is too dark to be one, but also because her first surname sounds Slavic (so she might be some kind of a Yugo or even a Ukrainian of Bulgarian/Serbian background), she is obviously married to a Lithuanian man (the ending of her second last name is an indication that she is married and belongs to a Lithuanian man -iene, which means “of so and so”).
Even if they both may or may not have made mistakes (everyone does, it’s no reason to murder them), it was Russia that invaded Ukraine and entered Ukrainian territory with the aim to kill and destroy.
Why does anyone have to be “shown their place”, especially a continent of half a billion people with an ancient culture? Why can’t all have their own place?
The Earth is generally considered to have seven continents. These are:
Asia (the largest in both area and population)
Africa
North America
South America
Antarctica
Europe
Australia (sometimes referred to as Oceania, which includes Australia and surrounding islands)
Dear God man…. First you posted New Republic? Now The Atlantic? These are fiction outlets.

What is the ethnic composition of “your people”? Could you please name the tribes that constituted the ethnogenesis of “your people”?
I’m into mythology and the ancestral beliefs, not black magick, Wiccanism or Satanism (derivatives of Christianity). But thanks for the link anyway, I might take a look.
Geographically speaking, Europe is not a continent, never was and never will be. The limit between Europe and the rest of Eurasian landmass is purely fictional, there’s no sea separating them. European ancient cultures (plural is important here because there were many different ones) have been under onslaught first by modernization (of which nation states creation was an integral part) and nowadays by the postmodern Globohomo. NATO was created as a bulwark against communist expansion, but nowadays NATO is the Globohomo’s armed alliance that exists to extend the influence of the Globalist anti-human agenda to the four corners of the world. Anyone supporting NATO is supporting Globohomo, there’s no way around it.
The postmodern Globalist ideology is in fact cultural and economic neo-imperialism/neo-colonialism. It’s basically Drag Queen fairy tale hour for kids + transnational corporations + MSM shilling for these two + politicians working under the influence of the three cited above + tomahawk missiles and stealth bombers flying to kill those who disagree.
This empire has a smiling rainbow face, but its hands are bloody. And it’s completely perverse in its view of the human condition. It’s actually antihuman and if nothing is done to stop it, then it will end up collapsing human civilization and driving humankind towards extinction.
This abomination was birthed in Western Europe, that place is still the epicentre of the Globohomo disease and that is why it should be shown its place, as in a quarantined camp. When Europeans heal themselves from Globohomo postmodernism, then they can be accepted among the more naturally inclined populations of our beautiful planet. It’s a question of humankind survival, with the rotting Western Europe influencing the lives of the humankind, we’re all doomed.
Have you travelled to the global south?
Have you been outside of resorts and tourist destinations?
Perhaps you would understand me better if you did.
Balto-Slavs mainly, plus Uralic and Turkic people who live on the territory of today’s Russia. Those who intermingled and intermixed to become Russians. But as you know, I have also took a long time to read and learn about our ancestors. It’s basically the Corded Ware descended cultures. And from the cultural point of view, I see Abrahamic religions in our lands as foreign innovations (to repurpose the use the Islamic term for heresies : bid’ah). I regret the loss of our ancient wisdom that impacted the whole of Eurasian cultures through our ancestors migrations and trade. Sad that our ancestral elites gave way to these destructive cults that weakened our people and deprived them from their roots that go back millennia. A people without roots is a people without branches and fruits, that is a people that has no future. It’s a tragic situation…
You omit the minor detail that the wealthy ruling families all trace themselves to Atlantis black magicians.
There’s a couple chinks who have a 366 page Perelman’s proof of the Poincare Conjecture for Dummies.

(I haven’t gotten through all 366 pages. Yet. I think I can make it if the spooks don’t blow up all the nukes.)
Whitney Webb, probably the most deep digging investigative journalist…
Who handed this woman a net, rather than threw one over her?
Probably she doesn’t know that the mallard is trying to genocide the American black duck.
She seems very r-selected.
Is she trying to increase her sexual market value, by limiting male duck’s access to female ducks?
My first question was somewhat serious though. Seems an import sociological question, with wider import.
I’d noticed that as well.
That’s an interesting point about that maybe being her mother in the photo. I’d heard recently that there were some Vietnamese who had been brought into the Balkans before the ‘Fall of Communism’ and I’d wondered if she might have had a Vietnamese parent.
It’s something I’d have to verify, but supposedly certain heavy industrial concerns (depending on who ultimately owned them internationally) they somehow managed to avoid bombing in Germany (and Europe) during WWII, despite the often inaccurate ‘area bombing’, so, if true, it wouldn’t surprise me if something like that was to occur once again in WWIII.
‘Balkans’ should read ‘Baltics’.
Consider this as a gift…
🙂
Did you read her Epstein 2 volume set? It is very good. It isn’t flawless.
Also she had a story on Mint news about one of Musk’s ex-girlfriends who started out as an Epstein whore and is now some UK political rising star. I forget her name but a few months ago I looked her up and she had glowing reviews in Financial Times, Economist, &c.
I support the CIA faction behind the Whitney Webb persona.
LOL.
You are such a cynical person…
Those Vietnamese actually left, they were just brought in for some time, in the early or mid 1980s, for work, but they left and didn’t settle there. She’s not Lithuanian, and I doubt she’s Lithuanian born, name sounds Ukrainian actually. And Ukrainians have some Yugo admixture. There were some minorities during the SU times, but it’s rare. Very rare in Lithuania, compared to Russia.
If you go far enough back everything could be avoided – your ‘yes’ answer seems to assume a very long period so it’s basically cop-out.
If we focus on what happened after 2010 there was an opportunity to avoid the war in 2014 if Russia had intervened massively and early to prevent the post-Maidan slide of Ukraine into a wanna-be-NATO-land. But they didn’t and I believe Putin said it was a mistake. Russia’s economy was weaker at that time and the West was much stronger. But we will never know, it may have worked.
After 2014 with NATO doubling down on the Ukie project and Kiev going fully in there was no real opportunity to avoid the war. Russia could have surrendered, accept that NATO will be staring it down and hope for the best. Millions of Russians in Ukraine would be brutally suppressed, many would be expelled or leave, some would be killed. Are you surprised Russia didn’t choose that option?
It’s also very likely – almost certain – that if Russia simply surrendered in Ukraine they would eventually face a much worse war with well-armed NATO on its long borders, internal destabilization, financial sanctions (reasons are easy to find), isolation and be left only with the option of using nukes. We are all probably better off that it didn’t go that way…it may be happening by now if Russia didn’t move to grab Crimea in 2014.
Re. the Atlanta fugiens so to speak, this guy has interesting stories to share:
(Notice the reference to the Ancient Israelites near the end of the video. To be put in perspective with the information presented in W. Webb investigations).
Re. Perelman, the guy basically lost all stimulus and ambition when he realized how illusory our understanding of reality is. He’s enlightened and awakened but in a Pratyekabuddha manner, he’s unfit to spread the truth to other way more stupid people. So he’s just hanging around because he has an aging mother to take care of, otherwise he’d exit Samsara in a heartbeat.
Israel openly stated it was the goal and Trump seconded it once or twice and then walked it back. The more deranged neo-con planners thought that ground troops wouldn’t be needed, that Iranians would stage a revolution or that military would stage a coup. You wrote about it here – how the army will fight the IRG…don’t you remember?
It was a total failure so now you lie that it was never the goal.
MAGA is not about 50% approval rating – it’s about accomplishing specific things that need to be done to put America right. Some are being done: border, tariffs (new tariff war with Canada!), courts, budget…But a very important part was no foreign wars and Trump messed it up: he started what would be the biggest among the stupid wars and then proceeded to quickly back out, in effect losing the mini-war. It is a close call, ok, but it shows bad instinct and it is hard to see Trump as a peace president, he threw it away.
There are the Ural mountains and there is a lot of empty space and dense forest in between there as well as various climatic obstacles. But I do understand what you mean by calling Europe a peninsula (even though that’s not part of the formal geographic classification). Europe is not just the land, but also the seas and oceans enveloping it (across which Europe can project its energy).
Modernization is something that the Europeans themselves created through a long historical process, however, prior to that the Greek polis already existed, with the community of citizens, rule of law, even shared identity and defense; similar structures existed in the Northern pagan societies.
“Modernization” would be something that started with the Enlightenment or even a bit later.
It’s true that NATO, after 1991 had slowly turned into a political organization to serve “globalist” goals, however, currently NATO has a chance to become a defense organization once again. If it doesn’t serve that purpose as a priority, as a defense pact first and foremost, it will become obsolete and another alliance will be created (with a refreshed agenda).
This is mostly carried out through the financial systems.
The drag queen hour has gone out of fashion, isn’t it all Project 2025 now? 🙂 I understand, those are both smoke screens.
It is up to the people themselves to decide how they want to live, most people yearn for an easy life and individualistic freedoms. That’s where the degeneracy stems from. It’s the same reason why people and other animals love sweets, because those are not that commonly available in nature.
Sorry, but this sounds quite aggressive and Dugin-like. Most Europeans don’t want to impose themselves on the rest of the world but stay put and those economic forces that they do project are often reciprocal as they are based on trade (even if not always fair, often it is extractive). It’s actually the other way around – those “more naturally inclined populations” are for some reason swarming Europe.
But who is forcing you or them to accept the European way of life?
Afaik, many of the countries in the “global south” practice non-alignment. What are you implying, that someone from a European country cannot relate to the people of “the global south” or that they are incapable of having if not amicable then purely decent contacts with people from the “global south”?
I don’t feel like posting too much personal stuff, but I’ve been to the Caucasus (after the SU times). And a very close relative of mine lives in Dubai (as a white collar professional, but they meet very diverse people, and we have been in conversation about the recent events in the Middle East, where they shared some insights of how people feel about the US and Israel there, not the Emirates but the various other Arabs who they’ve met, this person has been across most of what you called “the Global south”, in some cases even on foot, they’ve been to Bali, India, S.America, S.Africa, Tunisia, S.Korea, etc., and everything was shared, so, no, Bashi, you’re not the only one who has traveled to “exotic” places and talked to the people there.
Oh, I would go even further than that and at least for my people call it an imposition. An “innovation” would be something that is like a heresy, as you say, or something that is supplanted unto the original body of thought or integrated within it, while the ancestral faith and the Abrahamic religions are a completely different tradition. (There was, however, some syncretism later on through out the Middle Ages).
And what is even more messed up is that now we are compelled to defend Christianity for cultural reasons, because it is so easy in our society to offend and blasphemize Christianity (but not other religions), and because of the Muslimization. Trust me, some of my acquaintances are less tolerant as I…
Well, the Greeks and Romans held the traditions for a long time, and much even later on the Lithuanian kings stayed faithful to their traditions for a long time and sometimes even went back and forth, from Christianity – back to the old faith. The ancestral elites were involved in power struggles, sometimes those were about survival (not always greed and status), so we shouldn’t judge them too harshly, even though I do agree that it is lame.
Not all of it lost. Some knowledge remains. The good thing also is that many people have healthy and natural instincts and naturally seek that which is pure and genuine. A human being is not isolated from the cosmic movements and no human wants to feel like the one depicted in Munch’s “The Scream”…
By the way, Bashi – are you aware of the one Alexander Piatigorsky, an Indologist from Russia?
He has spoken (and written) a lot about Buddhism. I actually attended his lecture once (understood only about 5% of what he spoke about, which is very unusual, as I typically understand at least a half or more of such type of lectures, I suppose it was meant for those who had already had an introductory knowledge of Buddhism). He may be one of the most prominent scholars of Eastern religions from Russia.

Transparent and malicious nonsense. “Blame Iran for the assassination attempt, not us loyal Democrats!”
Btw, the Democrats have not at all paid enough for their meddling.
“Culture news from the United States of America.” (from the main Soviet news program in 1972).
“The ensemble Black Sabbath promotes violence and religious obscurantism, but its vocalist Ozzy Osborne represents a classical example of disturbances of mental health and a degradation of the personality of someone who has been rotating in the sphere of the American show business”.
I just know from a personal experience that someone who hasn’t gone out of the Western European cultural sphere can’t really understand how people outside this cultural influence think, live and interact. Some of these places still have groups of people who live in a very traditional way, think, feel and interact accordingly. And their way of seeing life and interacting is quite different from what we experience on a daily basis in the West.
It ain’t better, but it’s also not worse. It’s really different though. More focused on the family, clan and tribe than on an individual. Seeing the World as infused with a spiritual/divine presence and not just being matter that is bound to die and decay. And I think that before the end of the Renaissance/early Enlightenment, when Western Europe started on its Faustian hyperbolic evolution towards the situation we experience nowadays, all of humanity interacted more or less in a similar way.
Today those who are Westernized have a quite different outlook on life and interact accordingly. It’s probably not a coincidence that it’s around that time of major cultural change that the West started on its planetary conquest. Everywhere a Westerner stepped in sufficient numbers, the traditional archaic way of life vanished, more often than not with the populations who practiced it for thousands of years. It was truly a cultural and demographic genocide. Arguably it’s still nearly universally ongoing on a cultural level and even sometimes locally on a population level (as in Gaza).
How can we consider something that has been gradually imposed on the World in the last 500 years or so as the universal norm, while something that represents some 50 000 years of cultural traditions is seen as nothing but some touristy curiosity?
Perhaps it’s our Western way of life that is an exception to the norm, a fluctuation that will subside, hopefully before it destroys the biosphere and the humankind making the whole planet into a mechanistic abomination.
Какое право человека бесспорнее, чем право жить, – и даже жить не самим, ибо мы все обречены на смерть, а чтобы жили наши потомки? Но вот данные, которые часто приводятся в западной экологической литературе: население США составляет 5,6 процента от населения мира, они используют 40 процентов всех природных ресурсов и выбрасывают 70 процентов всех отходов, отравляющих среду. Говоря попросту, США существуют за чужой счет – за счет нас и наших потомков, угрожая самому их существованию. Но я никогда не слышал, чтобы такая ситуация связывалась с категорией “прав человека”. Зато ограничение эмиграции (это прежде всего!), запреты демонстраций или партий и связанные с нарушением таких запретов аресты рассматриваются как нарушения столь фундаментальных “прав человека”, что оказываются препятствием в переговорах по ограничению вооружений, в торговле или по расширению научных связей.

Both described phenomena are interconnected. They are two sides of the same multifaceted problem. The problem of an alienated mentality spreading across humanity starting with Abraham and reaching today to Sam Altman and Alex Karp. Transforming the cyclical time natural for our species into a finite line that must end with some apocalypse.

What explains people at Glastonbury cheering this “Bob Vylan” guy?
I am focused on America. Israel is a separate and sovereign country.
• The U.S. does not control Israel
• Israel does not control the U.S.
Part of Trump being Trump is his use of “strategic ambiguity”. Some of the things he says are to shape the discussion and outcome. He also says thing to manipulate the Fake Stream Media into Leftoid overreach.
Thus it is necessary to focus on facts and Trump’s actions.
FACT: Trying to force regime change would require American ground troops.
FACT: There were no American ground troops.
It is the simplest logic to conclusively prove that regime change was not the goal. No matter how overwrought you are — facts remain facts.
The goal of the U.S. strike was setting back Iran’s nuclear program by years. This was highly successful.
You should go back and reread. You are missing critical terms like *IF* and *COULD*. I never offered a concrete declaration that such things “would” definitely happen.
The now capitalist & no longer particularly revolutionary Guard Corps discarded the zeal of decades ago. Religious extremism is bad for their businesses. There *COULD* be a change to the “Egypt model” where a military figure winds up in charge.
I believe you admit you are not an American. Thus it is unsurprising that you do not fully grasp what MAGA is. MAGA is populist not isolationist. Nothing has been, as you histrionically & emotionally put it “thrown away”.
A single surgical strike that averted a larger war is MAGA winning. Showing weakness on the international stage that encourages foreign nations to abuse America would be losing.
In practice showing strength heads off wars. Obama and Team Biden were weak. Their gifts of cash to Iran made things worse.
You need to take seriously the fact based numbers that you are unsuccessfully trying to ignore. If Trump had betrayed MAGA, the base would have abandoned ship. The fact that his popularity remained high and consistent strongly indicates that MAGA voters continue to support his MAGA actions.
PEACE 😇
With all due respect Bashi, what have you done to live up to and preserve these values of yours relating to your own tribal bloodline? You’ve married outside of your own clan, live in a foreign country and communicate with those closest to you in French. If your grandchildren know even one word of Russian and show a fondness for borshch or pelmeni, you’ll be quite lucky. Would you really be surprised if they take things one step further and marry somebody outside of their own white race?
This kind of thinking is very out dated in our world today, perhaps it’s satisfying for some kind of freaky romanticism?
Yours is the classic case of “do as I say, not as I do! 🙂
Te quotation is taken from Bashi, within LatW’s comment. My comment is directed towards Bashi (although LatW, or anybody else is free to comment too).
He is wearing the correct shirt, but the wrong pants for a David Duke KKK college club rally in the southern United States circa 2005. I wonder if he knows that. The white polo shirt and khakis was a pretty functional outfit and I know a fellow who was wearing it 3 or 4 days a week for utilitarian non-ideological reasons and seemed utterly horrified when he saw the alt right promos in 2015.
I think horrified. I never asked him about it but I noticed he stopped wearing it.
What did they say about the Beatles?

Ok, If and Could…the words that always hide behind a curtain :)…
Let’s agree that it’s too early to know for sure. If – see the power of the word? – the war restarts and Trump again jumps in, my view would be validated. If this is it, it wasn’t too bad. Based on the ME history it’s more likely more s..t will happen and soon.
The strategic ambiguity works better at home, it doesn’t travel well. It’s the same as Hollywood comedies-drama not well understood abroad leading to the recent slide into silly genres. We are all dumber as a result.
What you end up with is people abroad hearing Trump’s throw-away statements and repeating them to validate their viewpoints – he uses it strategically but they see it as a threat or promise. It makes the eventual catastrophic war more likely. It also looks like he is trying to please certain constituency a bit too much and that’s not a good sign.
One should always be willing to wait to see happens. However, for now you need to acknowledge the obvious strength of MAGA and Trump’s massive win streak: (1)
Is everything perfect on every front? Of course not. The lawfare types will try to misuse class action status now that national injunctions are gone. Some individual line items in the BBB are pretty bad.

There is no Eurasian Empire and there can never be. The northern half of Eurasia is simply Russia based on history, geography, past luck. The endless Western attempts to grab it and break up Russia are years too late. Russia is not an ’empire’ but a very large country. 80% of people in Russia are Russians, more than half of the rest are very friendly towards Russians.
That’s the reality and the attacks by the smaller nations to the West are self-defeating: we will not win and have a lot to lose. For the Balto-Slavs Russia has been the savior – without Russia some of us wouldn’t exist or be smaller and dominated by the West.
This is very hard for you to swallow, but it’s the strategic reality. Ukrainians would not exist today without past support by Russia against the Ottomans, Germans, Magyars, Romanians…and others who wanted the lands. There would be a small Ukie-Galicia in constant struggle with the equally diminished Poland. Bulgarians, Czechs, Slovenes…would barely exist and be insignificant and dominated by the West or Turkey. Take your pick, homos or Erdogan…which one would suit us better?
Latvia would be German-Scandie with maybe some Baltic folklore left. You seem to lack self-preservation instinct. Get a map and read the actual history of the region…
I won’t argue the other points, although the SCOTUS ruling is mostly procedural and can be undermined by the actual rulings on merits.
But the 5% NATO spending goal is not a win – it’s a Trojan horse, huge majorities in Europe dislike it and if an attempt is made to implement the goal it will be a disaster. Do the math: 5% of GDP is around 10% of government spending in most EU countries. There is already 10-15% going to pay interest and the rest is unchangeable because most of it pays for pensions, medical care, education. That means massive borrowing.
Military spending has no consumer value – it doesn’t increase actual living standards. It’s the same as digging huge holes and filling them in. Spain and few others pointed this out and there will be back-sliding and ‘re-definitions’ galore…
Europe has no natural wealth and almost no products that the rest of the world needs. But it has great scenery, easy pleasant life, good infrastructure. In the past the military spending was used to attack the rest of the world and to live of those resources. That is probably not possible any more although some idiots may try. The 5% is both unimplementable nonsense and the biggest own goal in the European history…
In terms of Remigrating some groups (e.g. Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans) there is no legal merit in the resistance. The SCOTUS rulings should thus hasten the departures of hundreds of thousands.
I somewhat concur. 2-3% is a more reasonable range.
How we got here is — 2% was the official “target” and large numbers of free rider countries went below that level. Europe has trouble accomplishing anything in the field, such as protecting EU bound shipping from Houthi aggression.
Setting the new “target” at 5% should encourage European countries to increase spending. There will be much more pressure to reach the 2-3% needed for bare minimum competence.
Also, hope for policy synergy:
• To spend more on the military, impose Remigration to reduce government expenditures on handouts.
• To have the industrial capacity to build military equipment, end “green” fiascos that create unaffordable energy prices.
Europe is in much worse shape than the U.S. We will have to wait & see if it can improve.
PEACE 😇
IMO, the problem with the idea of a medieval Dark Ages in Europe is that it is almost impossible to separate from modern political narratives and their consequences.
Properly speaking, any nebulous period should be grounds for an age of heroes. Of mythmaking and great deeds and stories. Did the Greeks have the same concept of a Dark Age, when they shat upon the legacy of their ancestors? Does anybody else?
Even if you could somehow separate it from DIE (doubtful, IMO) is it really a healthy thing? Seems like there is a strong tendency in film and novels to turn it into a mockery of everyone alive back then. To give them superstition, instead of faith. Violence instead of chivalry. There seems a haughty scientism or materialim in it. Is A Connecticut Yankee in King Athur’s Court really better than the story of King Arthur?
I think there is significant lag factor in markers like TFR falling below replacement, and a country’s population actually declining and a general cultural awareness of it.
Too many people live in cities and they perceive the density and not much else. They create scifi stories about severe overpopulation – but not warning about demographic collapse and replacement.
They hate you but they want to live in your country, perfectly summarizes their views.

First, let me say that only Bashi can answer the question about whether or not he might be surprised about any grandchildren of his ‘marrying somebody outside of their own white race’.
As for the emboldened part of your comment, who exactly decided ‘this kind of thinking is very out dated’ and that it is ‘some kind of freaky romanticism’?
You, or, some others perhaps?
To answer my own question, the Anglosphere has had a tremendous amount of influence upon what exactly constitutes modern ‘progressivism’, naturally within the Anglosphere itself, but also across the world, due to it’s historic global hegemony which it has had since at least about 1900, when the US/UK formed their ‘special relationship’.
I submit that the Anglosphere’s progressivism was majorly tainted by slavery due to the failure to have dealt with that scourge in a truthful and honest manner.
Self deception, but deception nevertheless, no doubt played a massive role in this, when instead of abolishing chattel slavery and it’s trade as loudly proclaimed in the early 19th century, it was instead monetized (that is it was distilled down to it’s financial essence whilst profits were maximized) with the introduction at that time by diktat of wage slavery, aka the so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’ system.
The big problem they ran into in the Anglosphere with this new incredibly profitable (for a select few and hangers on) streamlined ‘just in time’ wage slavery system is that it’s genocidal,not to mention it was majorly culturally and socially destructive in a miriad of ways, both to those preyed upon as a source of wage slaves (so called ‘cheap labor’) and to those whom by diktat are on the receiving end of the wage slave ‘migrants’.
Understandably imo, there was mass resistance to this genocidal monetization of chattel slavery and it’s trade, so much so that by about 1925 within the whole of the Anglosphere the kabosh had been put upon it.
That should of marked a true global end to slavery, both chattel and wage. Alas, the historic chattel slave dealers and slave owners of the Anglosphere would not give up so readily on their new fangled highly profitable for them wage slavery system. They bided their time and concocted the cult ideology of progressive Multiculturalism with an attached anti-race campaign, known by a euphamism as ‘anti-racism’, for the rubes, err, general public rather, to believe in.
It’s true that within the United States and United Kingdom in the 19th century there were multiple streams of competing visions of what progressivism should and ought to be. It stands to reason, however, that those self proclaimed ‘progressives’ which had historically been key figures in the powerful ruling slave dealing class, ie those also tending to be the most brutal, ruthless, and amoral of the population, would crush those competing streams, and retain slavery (which had become central to their being and very livelihoods) in the form of their new wage slavery (ie so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’) system.
In the United States it’s not a coincidence that liberal progressivism is centered in the northeast, ie New England, where with it’s predominating slave dealing (and the occassional slave owning) slavery and it’s trade in colonial British North America, and then later the United States, was directed from, the historic ties between Anglosphere liberal progressivism and slavery (both chattel and wage) being deeply rooted.
I didn’t pull this stuff out of my hat, but have documented it with original 19th century source materials in my posts here at Unz as ‘S1’, and prior to that as ‘S’, which I invite people to read.
Anyhow, this present consternation and loggerheads doesn’t have to be.
An amicable and peaceable separation between those who believe organic peoples actually really physically exist and might be worth preserving and those who don’t might help to ameliorate things, and, as the world is a big place, should be eminently doable.
However, informed by past (and current) empire, tainted by slavery, and driven by a violent totalitarianism, Anglosphere progressivism makes this a difficult goal to achieve.
Nevertheless, it’s an objective which those many men and women who are of good will, and can be found everywhere across the world ought to mightily strive for, and hopefully someday achieve.
You don’t want these extremists types taking root and adopting “Hood” culture, with their inherent traits, only bad things can happen.
Unlike the Hispanics they’re very large people, even the Women can be very tall and intimidating.
They must be made to assimilate and striped of their Limitrophe identity and merged with the God-fearing mainstream of society.
LatW has deep affinities with the Indians of the Pacific NW and their salmon wealth, wool dogs, and occasional, opportunistic slavery of shipwrecked Japanese fishermen.
It is a geomantic connection, involving marine and riverine resources, though it is true that the area is more climatologically similar to Britain or Ireland.
That sounds quite strong.
Tbh it has some of the feeling of a chimp-out synthesized into a song.
I am not surprised that it is the white Glastonbury crowd joining in on it, from what I have heard the tickets are £400 or more and the age range is mainly 40+. Many were probably remainers in the Brexit vote and are securely middle class or higher from an economic pov.
David Betz discussed something in his interview about a possible civil war which Eric Kaufmann has also mentionned recently, the level of political polarisation that existed at times even within homogenous European populations during the 20th C. This could crystalize around issues like nationalism and national identity amongst other issues. Sometimes it resulted in civil war, sometimes it would be directed outwards into external conflict.
Here it seems like the immigration and race thing is bring used as a kind of pretext to outrage and provoke their political enemies, people they see as gammons.
For those unaware of the Ethnic composition of the Baltic States, Latvia with the highest Russian percentage 25% is the least violent by far, while Lithuania which is only 4 percent Ethnic Russian, is by far the most violent.
This intuitively makes sense.
Many civilised/educated people suffered to develop these countries.
How is the data collected, what counts as ‘murder’ and what doesn’t? There are many degrees when someone gets killed and countries treat them differently, manslaughter, voluntary or involuntary, premeditated etc…
In 2014 the mob in Odessa burnt to death 49 Russians – on camera and while celebrating. I don’t think the 49 counted as murders in the Ukie statistics. I would go easy on the Balts, they may not have learned the art of lying with numbers.
For those unaware, Ethnic Russian homeland (which apparently has nothing in common with any civilization, education or high development by Torna selected criteria) had nearly twice higher homicide rates in the same timeframe:

There’s nothing wrong with admiring, or even loving other people’s culture, as long as you not condescending.
I’ve always considered open mindedness an admirable traits.
You and I both know this is caused by massive Chinese immigration into Russia.
Haven’t you watched the video?
Let’s see:
1) The brainwashing by advocates of the Anglosphere’s cult/ideology of progressive multiculturalism is quite effective. See the first chapter of the 1928 book Propaganda for insight into that.
2) Self hatred is real.
There’s nothing wrong with admiring or even loving other people’s culture.
As long as you’re not condescending, I’ve always considered open mindedness an admirable trait.
Yeah, RF got very lucky with stats at the time as apparently thanx to that massive immigration and population dilution, murder rates there went down nearly thrice from the usual previous homicide rates, which hovered roughly around 30 for many previous years while having mainly native population;)

Winter is coming.
I think our best hope with AI is that Taiwan gets thoroughly nuked very soon in some West vs China fracas. That destruction will knock out quite a bit of the world supply chain for the most advanced chips. Then the Brotherhood of Free Will (BFW) can take action during the ensuing chaos to destroy all fabs and suppliers for chips with features less than 1 micron which is roughly the 1990 level of technology and probably too limited for AI. If something along these lines doesn’t happen we are toast.
Well, Whitney either has magic powers of protection or is some sort of limited hangout (I am thankful for her output in any case). Same as Ron only more so. The other option is the powers that be (PTB) simply do not care. In which case, what else does she know but not say which they do care about? At this point, is there any dirt on the activities of the “elite” which cannot be publicly discussed? Is the purpose of people such as Marina Abramovic to rip out the Overton window entirely so that ritual pedophila, child sacrifice and cannibalism become generally recognized, discussed and acknowledged? There have been times and places where these vile activities were accepted because the PTB simply had so much power they could get away with whatever they wanted to do. Maybe we are rapidly closing in on this situation again.
Lol. John Muir held the Tlingit above all other Indians, but by his time, it seems like they were pretty pacified and desirous of learning from outsiders.
Once had a young woman from Sitka sit next to me on a long bus ride. A bit heavy-set but congenial, and unexpectedly extroverted. She was surprised by my knowledge about Alaska and was very interested in my ideas about seafood, especially clams, and insistant that I recommend a seafood restaurant to her.
Honestly, I kind feel the same way as John Muir, but my interactions with Indians from the contiguous states are very limited and context-dependent in way that probably introduces a bias. (i.e. a DIE requirement, I once had to take.)
That’s true. And people who go to concerts seem more hive-minded. (like they want to sway together, and let things flow into them.)
I am sure they don’t hate themselves as individuals. iIRC, one of Dale Carnegie’s rules for mastering communication was that everyone, even criminals adept at using a tommy gun, love themselves.
Southworth and Hawes were some high end Boston photographers between 1843-1863, and used the Daguerrotype process. People paid a lot for their images but they were accordingly of an extraordinarily high quality. I’ll post a few of them below. The first were a series of photographs made between 1846-47 documenting the early use of ether as an anesthesia in a hospital:

After many months of debating these issues you still sound like an illiterate high school dropout “looking for Nazis within Ukraine”??. Highly corrupted Ukraine wanted NATO (a criminal organization for Russia destruction), and that is no-no for nuclear Russia. NATO silly mandarins thought by disbanding Warsaw Pact grabbing the sovereignty of European minnows will not have repercussion.
I think the medieval period may have been more appreciated in the nineteenth century, and then in the first half of the last century. I remember what Drieu La Rochelle was writing about the chansons de geste and the poetry of the troubadours in 1939-40:
I think the king Arthur story became the inspiration for a lot of chansons.
I also heard Nietzsche was an admirer of the troubadour tradition, I wonder if he wrote about the chansons de geste?
I would guess they would be more problematic now, from the point of view of the subject matter in a lot of them :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_of_Roland
The background to Roland’s feats: ‘Charlemagne’s army is fighting the Arab Muslims in Spain.’
There are a lot of songs about Guillaume d’Orange and his deeds against the Saracens, in real life Saint William of Gellone:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_Gellone
‘William’s career battling Saracens is sung in epic poems in the 12th- and 13th-century cycle called La Geste de Garin de Monglane, some two dozen chansons de geste that actually center around William, the great-grandson of the largely legendary Garin.’
Vivien is a relative of William of Gellone who also fights the moors.
It is worse, Mr.Hack is only a simple man with an ethnic bias. But identical stuff is said by highly educated media people, and of course, most of the politicians in US and Europe,
I once saw an old movie (Broadcast News?) whose point was the critique of the air-heads doing American news, the fluff and silly stuff. In a key moment a frustrated reporter grabbed the mike, took over from the anchor and went on to present the “real news”…Oh, boy, give me the fluff any day, the “rebel” was basically reading verbatim the opinions from the State Dept or one of the more crazy think tanks in DC. And that was presented as the “real news”…
The problem is much deeper, they are all retarded when it comes to thinking and understanding other points of view. Mr. Hack is a victim of it.
Nobody knows where Lithuanian exports go, it’s a mystery.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his livelihood depends on him not understanding it.
Torna, why do you get so triggered by Baltic people? Are you really Chinese? Or are you some Russian in Singapore? I notice you used the word “limitrophe”, tbh, I’ve only heard Russians ever use it. Ofc, I might be wrong, and you are in fact Chinese. But you’re too pussy or dishonest to reveal your identity, unlike most of us.
P.s. I was just being combative with Emil because he said a ton of nasty things to me before. That’s all. Americans have been real d*cks to Euros lately (ofc the likes of Emil are eternally such).
I should have added that this Vylan guy well illustrates my point that modern Anglosphere ‘progressivism’ has devolved to the point of being largely a hatred consumed thing. When they accuse others of ‘hate’ it is simply projection on their part.
Brainwashing could well explain the bulk of it.
Having said that, I agree that most people love themselves.
And while I rarely say this, as it’s often an abused accusation, I find it difficult to think that self hatred is not involved, too, in some way, if someone’s in England, and of an English or British heritage, and pays to listen to stuff like this, and cheers it on. It could be other things, ie sado-masochism, or suicidal ideation, mental illness, or, some might simply say evil. Perhaps it’s a combination of all of that.
Same goes for Joe Biden when he (on video) says quite literally and passively that it’s a good thing if he and others like him are crudely bred out of existence.
There’s something very wrong with that.

I really wish you would discuss this topic with someone like songbird (or other, what Toly used to call “Western supremacists”, LOL). I’m not the best target to throw this at.
Tbh, I don’t feel there is anything wrong with “not having gone out of the Western European cultural sphere”, as long as one is not openly bigoted towards other cultures or doesn’t exploit them (which in the global economy is not that easy to control for the average Westerner). But I also do not think there is anything wrong with criticizing “other cultures” if it’s done in a tactful and proper way (this is hard, because one will be called “racist” no matter what as soon as you touch this topic). Also, I do not think there is anything wrong with wanting to and insisting on the right to live in a European monoculture.
Moreover, in today’s West, one doesn’t need to go out to the global South – the global South comes to you! I live in one of the most progressive counties in the US (although we do have conservatives here, even prominent ones), which also happens to me among the Whitest in the whole country. However, we get a lot of new migrants from what you call the global South – and they are all very different, and even if we do not live with them, we communicate sometimes, so we are aware of their culture. (Btw, I don’t even like to use the word “they” like you introduced here, each person should be addressed individually.) Yes, many are more family oriented, or “clannish”. And it’s part tradition and part necessity. You said that the West interrupts with this but it’s a choice whether to give that up or keep it or go back home.
A lot of this disruption may not even be “from the West” but just the general global growth of living standards – it seems like once a society achieves a certain economic standard, people become more autonomous.
It’s probably safe to say that most Eastern Euro ethnonats adhere to the principle – “You leave me alone, I leave you alone” when it comes to non-Euros. As in, they would be very strictly against the “Invade the world, invite world” doctrine. I know this is maybe simplistic given the globalized economy and given what the colonization by the Western countries that has already happened, but it’s not a bad principle to follow. I know many Baltic men who feel that (even women probably), they feel the same way about homosexuals – “Do what you want in private, but don’t display it publicly”. Yes, this might not be a sophisticated and “cultured” approach or whatever, but it worked for them and this is what they want. And, btw, if they were made aware that a child is being exploited in some far away land so that they can get Nike sneakers or smth, they would be against it.
One can make a good argument for remigration, and one could also make a good argument that the Westerners have long since paid back to the formerly colonized nations by providing a ton of development aid and welfare for African Americans, as well as those Arabs and others who have moved into the West since around the 1960s, and such. One can argue that it is not enough or comparable to what was extracted from the former colonies, etc, etc. All of these conversations are out there in the American Renaissance conference and similar fora. All of these arguments can go in circles, but it is important to figure out a way how to live in the future so that everyone (or most) are happy.
Likewise, arguments can also be made for fair trade, environmental concerns, climate. Both sides could make valid points.
Also, keep in mind that this “global South” is very vast and diverse. Within that, individuals and families are very different – some affluent, many poor, but just as many with probably just average living standards, some ultra religious in militant religions, others – not so much or in peaceful religions.
I’ve spoken to some CEOs in Latin America via Zoom from their homes and they have nice homes with beautiful oceanic views, and many of them are not at all different from the Portuguese or Spaniards in their lifestyle or family structures. But ofc there are the poor as well.
Were you aware for example that many Arabs are now secular (even the ones living in N.Africa)?
For me, I just happen to genuinely like the European culture – both the old and even the new (minus the mass immigration part). And, yes, I prefer it.
Keep in mind that most European women have relatively high cleanliness standards (not exaggerated ones, but we need to live in a clean and tidy place). Again, that’s not to say that only Europe is clean or that there are no dirtied up or decrepit places in Europe.
That doesn’t mean one is looking down on other cultures, not at all (not sure why you assumed that about me – just because I insist that Euros should have the right to live separately in their homelands and keep those homelands intact and homogenous, without other cultures imposed on them?). I’m a racialist in an environmental & anthropological sense – each culture arose and became a certain way due to its environment, and the struggles (or immediate natural advantages) that it encountered in its evolution. This is not supremacism, but separatism.
Of course, cultures have constantly mixed and people have been migrating through out the ages, back an forth, intermingling, however, I think there is something to this principle and the idea of home – it is something constant, permanent, but we see that the idea of home changes as well. Maybe those of us who are far away from our home, cling to this principle more strongly as some kind of a triggered reflex or instinct…
An interesting episode I can share about interacting with the global South. One time I was near an apartment building where some Mexican families live, and one day a bunch of women gathered there (it was hard to tell if they were Hispanic or Mayan / Indian, probably mixed), at first it seemed like just some party, but after a while I started hearing this ongoing, uninterrupted chanting. These women were sitting together and chanting in unison, and it went on for a long time. And it did not sound Catholic at all. It turns out it was some kind of a vernacular religious rite of theirs that was most likely pre-Columbus or maybe some kind of a syncretic thing. It was very peculiar, and a glimpse of their real culture.
Thanks for sharing that. It is interesting to read his thoughts. And also your mention of William of Gellone.
always thought it was kind of funny and weird how they cut out Mikel’s people. (waining persistance of historical memory?) Have wondered a bit whether the Arabic word for Germany (something like Alemania) could be related to Charlemagne’s fight against the Moors. (think he had Alemanian levies)
I read the translation of Song of Roland by Charles Scott Moncrieff many years ago. Chesterton wrote the forward and I remember him mentioning how it was sung at Hastings by Taillefer, while twirling, throwing and catching a sword in front of the Norman army, which is a nice image.
Read de Joinville more recently, and really enjoyed parts of it. Think he makes a reference or two to chansons de geste.
It is really bizarre to see some of these behaviors. Years ago, I never would have thought that I would hear a lot of Americans denouncing the idea that anyone would want to work in a factory.
I think partly it is racial. The multiculturalism amplifies their distaste for Euros who might work in a factory. I saw a clip on youtube the other day of a commodore64 factory, and I don’t know, if it was in the NW or California (c1982), but I didn’t even notice one PoC.
I know! And that was exactly my point. I just got the vibe from Bashi that he’s constantly pining after some “Eurasia identity”, talking about how “all light comes from the East”, “the West is a blip in history, an outlier”, and constantly bringing up the “from Lisbon to Vladivostok” meme as some ideal to strive for.
This is just inaccurate. Sure, I would have preferred that the feudal lands of pre-Christian Latvia would have been unified, either among themselves or with Lithuania (the way that Lithuania itself did shortly before the long and tiresome wars with both the Teutonic Order and the various forces from the East), however, the Teutonic Knights also protected us from the potential future onslaughts of Moscow and they enveloped us into the fold of the Western Christianity (thus cultural space).
(Although these various medieval principalities in this region, went back and forth and allied criss cross with different actors, for example, in the Battle of Saule (1236), Pskov allied with the Teutonic Knights against the Baltic peoples defending their lands).
We lived with the Germans for 700 years and there were no more than 10% Germans there, even fewer Scandies. For the most part we would’ve kept our culture and language indefinitely.
Some Balts and Finns got assimilated into the Baltic Germans, btw. And while it’s regretful that we did not create our own kingdom, the way Lithuania did, the Germans, while they were exploitative, simultaneously did help us with many things (including chronicles and printing books in our language). The Germans wanted to colonize land, not eradicate the culture and language (it was the same during the 1940s occupation). While the Muscovite Tsars first killed a lot of us and then later made attempts at eradicating the language and even imposing the Orthodox religion.
During the Independence War, after WWI, we fought both sides (the German Landeswehr and the Bolsheviks coming from the East, it was a rather complicated, yes, post-colonial landscape there, do not simplify it).
What’s your point dude? The Chinese can export to the West and all over the world but Lithuanians cannot export to the South? Not following your gist..
Hate to say it, but the weakpoint of existing national identities is that they include a large subclass of people who have a low index of loyalty to genetic ingroup. And there are other classes who are naturally weak-willed. Maybe, they would have it, if they were enmeshed in a culture that taught and encouraged them to have it, but they aren’t.
Quite apart from whatever her flaws and sins, I have always thought that Thatcher made some really strange totem of hatred for the Left. It is baffling to me how they could be so obsessed by her, all these years later.
I have even heard leftist Americans I personally know comment negatively on her with really hyperbolic language.
It seems weird to focus on her in comparison to people like Blair. And it is kind of shocking how early the hatred of her was tied to the embrace of blacks, etc.
Thatcher was in complete agreement with the Sikh guru guy in that video I posted who said
Our progressive friends think this deplorable. I don’t care about that but I would hope he told his cult following to get some SUN on their BALLS.
The American dishonest MSM is on a decline…today ABC “This week…” gave platform to idiot Graham who is paid by the MIC (military industrial complex) for promoting Ukrainian war and lying about Ukraine chances of getting back annexed regions. I would puke watching these programs, although somebody here can inform us about Graham lies today.
Stephnopoulos is one sly operator paid by the ABC for disseminating lies about Democrats accomplishments, instead of reporting/informing the public on issues – he is in a nonstop campaign mode.
You’re smart.

You forgot to mention incest. All of these niceties might be in the PTB plans for the ultimate state of techno feudalism, the period just before the Al Mehdi comes riding to Jerusalem to defeat the Dadjal, Saoshyant comes to destroy the forces of Druj, Maitreya re-establishes the pure Dharma and Our Lord Jesus comes to overthrow the Antichrist system, and judge the living and the dead. Then it’ll be New Jerusalem and a new heaven and a new earth because the old ones have past away.

It is much nicer than Britain or Ireland. It’s mild oceanic climate. Parts of it possibly sunnier. Plus, it has mountains and rainforests.
Those are the people who were there possibly 10 thousand years BC (after the ice cap melted). During the preboreal period. The ones following them were Western Hunter gatherers, those are the oldest inhabitants of Europe. There were peoples who spoke pre-Indo European languages, possibly.
By 3000 BC the Corded Ware culture was already dominant, around 2000 BC those who spoke the proto-Baltic language separated from the rest of the Corded Ware culture. They were living across a large area spanning from today’s Gdansk to Moscow.
And thanks about the letter from the Dakota Sioux. Very heartwarming. I used to kind of like Russel Means for his rebellious stances that were combined with the appreciation for the old ways, and he made it a point that his people should seek allies among the formerly colonized European peoples, he even brought up the Irish, I think. Well, either way… no need to dwell on past ills, time to move on and enjoy life. He is Lakota Sioux (Pine Ridge). Where they live is the poorest place in the US. I used to buy their buffalo jerky sticks.
Something bad and equally funny. No wonder, right – they used to be such a naughty boy band. 🙂
One time my Dad and I came across an old list of bands and with a detailed description of each about how they are “morally and aesthetically” questionable. It cracked us up. Here is the list, I just don’t have time to translate it.
It says something weird about how the AC/DC song “Back in black” in 1980 became “the anthem of the American Nazi party”? Weird. Maybe some right wing leaning guys who were young at the time listened to it? The Soviets somehow found that out (or lied about it).
“Many of the band’s songs contain constant references to the deeds of Satan, praise black magic, savor the helplessness of man before certain supernatural forces, and the right of the strong to take justice into their own hands.”
Donna Summer and Rod Stewart (lol) are noted for their “eroticism”. lol
Manowar they are accusing of “fascism” (well, that’s a common accusation of theirs and Manowar do praise “strong viking warriors”).
Prince. “Creativity is a mixture of pornography, apoliticality and even propaganda of nuclear war.” LOL

If the Baltic Nations regardless of their Huế, go full Somali on Russian trade, how would they try to go about it?
Three justification for Baltic Piracy:
Claim environmental risk, like potential oil spills, to justify seizures.
Use “piracy laws” to accuse ships of threatening underwater infrastructure (Use evidence of the Russians destroying Nordstream as a justification).
Introduce new national laws to detain tankers using “non-trusted” insurers.
The downsides of these Hood plans. Legal pushback, logistical nightmares, and financial costs could make implementation difficult. Also, Moscow has already called this a defacto naval blockade an act of war.
Potential responses:
Armed escorts: Warships and aircraft to protect tankers.
Legal action: Suing countries and companies involved in such seizures.
New routes: Focus on Arctic shipping and Eurasian partnerships to bypass the Baltic. The RITM-200 is excellent Russian technology.
Diplomatic pressure: Forming coalitions to protect maritime law.
Asymmetric retaliation: Targeting Pirates driving these policies.
This isn’t just about the Baltic, they’ll try in the Bosphorus too, without strong pushback. Moves like these undermine international maritime law, destabilize global shipping, and can create chaos for everyone. Not so long ago a Senior Baltic politician was advocating for a military base on the Straits of Malacca. They will spread their malign influence everywhere given a chance, they just want others to pay for it.

Look Bashi, you’re the one that has expressed his ideal preferences or a blueprint for how modern civilization should be organized:
I’ve just managed to point out that even you have not been able to live up to your own stated vision. I’m not trying to denigrate you in any way, and realize that you’ve lived through some difficult times that have forced you to make the decisions that you’ve made. The world is just too big, too intertwined and has moved into a stage where globalization has taken an unshakable hold to be able to reverse these trends and return to a way of life based on family, clans, tribes and bloodlines. Think about it logically, not emotionally, and I think that you’ll agree with me.
My exotic notion about the Wachowski Bros is they are not gender confused at all. In my theory they recognized there is an elite layer of society which is completely inaccessible to normal people, even wealthy filmmakers. This layer is where the state of the world is controlled. They realized that sexual inversion is an available ticket to access this nasty realm. They do not want control or power, they just want to know how the world works. However, their conversions are sincere since they have embraced the ideas of the elite in their quest for knowledge. They also know it is a one way trip.
My guess they had some internal energy market reform executed, whereas before there was only one monopolistic state owned electricity supplier allowed for industrial consumers, but now other energy corporations can do it too? But not too sure about that either.

Twitter is lying.
Yeah, Reagan and Thatcher, political allies, were both hated by the so called ‘progressives’. And ‘hate’ is the right word to use here. You had a not dissimilar pairing with Clinton and Blair, the difference being that their detractors (myself included) merely ‘didn’t like’ them, but generally didn’t hate them.
I once came across a woman who was a self described former liberal progressive leftist type, and she described the mentality the progressives had, which was very Manichaean:
‘There are good people, naturally the progressives themselves, and then everyone else’.
‘Everyone else’ being a lot of people, perhaps the majority even, are apparently seen as evil, and living in a type of outer darkness in their worldview.
She said when she got out of that unhealthy mindset her IQ immediately shot up about ten points.
It’s anecdotal, but it fits. I once had a summer camp counselor who was literally from Massachusetts and was a liberal, ie a classic ‘Massachusetts liberal’. It was at a time when the president happened to be a Republican, and I think both houses of congress were controlled by the repubs as well. He led our group in prayer, and asked God to protect the environment from these Republicans.
The thing was, while he just as easily might of simply used the phrase ‘bad people’ in his prayer to describe these Repubs, he insisted upon using the word ‘evil’ instead, ie these ‘evil men’.
Doing my own reading of history, I think within Anglosphere progressivism, which has historically been very prevalent in New England, that much of this Manichaean mindset can be traced to the 17 century Puritans, who were practically living out of the Old Testament.
Below is a brief 17 minute video of short clips of a 2002 Salem [Massachusetts] witch trials movie starring Kirstie Allie. [Please excuse the brief bits of nudity at the beginning.]
If you replace the word ‘witch’ during the trial scenes with ‘racist’ (or replace ‘witch’ with the near synonymous progressive often and routinely used smear terms ‘fascist’, or ‘Nazi’), combined with their unhinged mass hysteria, the hate, the in general delusional false accusations, and the desire many of them seem to have to kill (via execution) the many perceived by them ‘offenders’ of their ‘worldview’, it makes a perfect fit with the very unhealthy mindset of the modern Anglosphere progressives.
[The so called progressives should have been forcibly confronted long ago, ie many decades back, and told that they can’t continue this dangerous demonizing they engage in of their many perceived opponents, and sued into oblivion when going back as far as the 1950’s they were (from what I’ve heard) accusing even Eisenhower of being a ‘Nazi’ and a ‘fascist’.]
But I totally agree with you, Globalization is probably irreversible… … before the collapse of human civilization. We’re getting closer to this cancer’s terminal stage. Without even noticing it, we have already entered into the Singularity. Our offspring will have to live through this. Of course people who have no children needn’t worry about anything and can have an attitude best expressed as après moi le deluge. But I have four kids, three of them grownups and they have already said they want children of their own.
So to reply to your previous question, this is what I have contributed to my bloodline. My four children. It’s not that many, but it’s more than most people in the West today. It’s a chance for my bloodline to get through the coming population bottleneck, a small chance but better than none at all.
The future belongs to those who show up to face it. My offspring will be there. Yours unfortunately won’t…

What have you done to instill within your four kids the ability or desire to retain any cultural vestiges of their father’s Russian heritage (while you converse with them in french)? Or to be even more precise, any allegiance to their Corded Ware genetic origins?
When you look at your four children, do you see the carriers of Russianness in their faces, or most likely those of four Gallic Baguette munchers? 🙂

Déjà vu.
Nausėda was a former member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. According to documents, Nausėda, who was identified with a Russified form of his name, Gitanas Antanovich Nauseda, joined the CPSU on 20 May 1988, and was given a party ticket on 27 June.
The news about his membership was first broken out by Dovydas Pancerovas, a journalist working for the Laisvės TV channel, who found the information in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives.
Controversy intensified as it was also revealed that Nausėda did not disclose this information when filing for the presidency.
I hope her boyfriend doesn’t find out.

You’ll need to address these questions to Bahibusuk. After all, these are his offspring. My questions to him are actually quite similar to your own. Hopefully, he’s up to the task and will offer us some unique perspectives. My own feelings about this topic is that its quite difficult to keep the old ethnic/tribal ties alive and thriving in a foreign country, much less related to space colonization.

The Baltic nations are for the first time 1,000 years facing extinction…they are doing it to themselves. Their focus on hating Russians keeps them subservient to any idiocy coming from the West. They survived in the past by being smart enough to play the big guys against each other, now they crave being the people others play with…so on to Moscow! preferably in the front line to show their devotion. Then what?
Some potential high valued export and/or cooperation developments:
Should better be pretending to worry about Icelandic extinction if there is any need to show crocodile tears – Baltics fortunately are not even situated on the literal volcano and have way bigger population even with most pessimistic downward forecasts;)

Lasers are great, and there’s a great CAGR in laser related markets.
However, according to the LLMs you guys also export the following to the Asian – Pacific markets:
Machinery and mechanical appliances, electrical equipment: These account for 15% of total exports.
Mineral products: Representing 14% of total exports.
Chemicals: Making up 11% of total exports.
Food products, beverages, and tobacco: Accounting for 8% of total exports.
Furniture: Representing 8% of total exports.
Plastics and rubber: Making up 7% of total exports.
Mainly to the following countries:
Specific examples of export growth include:
Singapore: EUR 146 million, a 160.1% increase.
Australia: EUR 79.7 million, a 109.6% increase.
South Korea: EUR 55 million, a 48% increase.
Indonesia: EUR 8.7 million, an 84.2% increase.
So basically around 300 million overall.
After an average of 100% increase Y2Y.

Doing my own reading of history, I think within Anglosphere progressivism, which has historically been very prevalent in New England, that much of this Manichaean mindset can be traced to the 17 century Puritans, who were practically living out of the Old Testament.
I get calling it Anglosphere progressivism but I have observed it to be the worst in Nordic areas. I think we would have fewer problems if our Nords were actually Anglos as in Germanic. There are of course liberal Whites of all types but I don’t think it is a coincidence that Antifa type riots have been in areas where there were a lot of Nordic immigrants.
Nordic women suffer under liberalism and then make it a life goal to spread that suffering to everyone else.
Just go to a Nordic city in this country like Minneapolis or Portland. Observe how many urban White people with money seem absolutely miserable. The women walk around looking anxious with these pet men in tow. No one seems happy and yet it continues. The Germanic areas in America are more rural and family oriented. A lot of our liberals are actually depressed urban Nords. It has been theorized that Nords were selected for long winters and have genes for egalitarianism.
My rhetorical question was actually for you Mr. Hack. How much of our connection to the past makes us better people and how much holds us back? There is no concrete answer but it is worth thinking about. Can it be both?
To make it more clear. In our times everything the Ukrainian Nationalists think they are fighting for may be overcome by powerful global forces. Would the Ukies been better off teaming with their Russian neighbors (holding their noses as required) to fight evil globalist forces together? Or maybe there are no evil globalists, just natural forces which are best tackled with teamwork.

You will say Russia attacked Ukraine and what am I even talking about; I know the riff. In reality, the leaders of the West were always out to destroy Russia (with or without Ukraine). The Ukrainian leaders strongly aligned with the West as soon as the ink dried on the new post-Cold War agreements. Unfortunately the Cold War military realities did not change (a choice made by the West) so Ukraine throwing in with the West was a geopolitical and military move which Russia could not ignore indefinitely.

I still would like to know more about why the puppet masters have crushed Western/White/Christian fertility (with their mind control) and allowed African and Indian populations to predictably expand (explode). Down here in the trenches some might say “white guilt.” But the puppet masters don’t have guilt, they have plans.
You know the answer, but you do not want to admit it.
The IslamoGloboHomo puppet masters need to suppress Judeo-Christian values & fertility. The explosion of Islamic population in MENA and sub-Saharan African provides foot soldiers for The Great Muslim Replacement of European Jews & Christians.
They are not particularly interested in India right now, so that surge may be more of a long-term play. What castes/subgroups are growing the most? IIRC from an HBD perspective the groups with the lowest potential are expanding most rapidly.
PEACE 😇
If they’re following the Kalergi plan, then they’re trying to mix all the human populations into a brown skinned equivalent of ancient Egyptian peasants, while they’ll be on the top as priesthood and aristocracy (Isaiah 61:6).
However, now that we know that the pyramids have been built by some antediluvian civilization, and not by ancient Egyptians, their plans seems somewhat naive.
What if these Atlantean/Enochian Nephilim were blue eyed blondes ?

While there are massive structures under the Giza plateau, they have no resemblance to those goofy claims. Are those remote sensors Italian? I seem to recall they are Italian.
They are the stupidest people on the entire internet and in the All Time Top Ten.
Do tell. I mean about the structures, not the dumb people.
I am open to other theories beyond the obvious explanation that the (((Puppet Masters))) want to revamp the population profile of the world (the Jews have means/motive/opportunity). While I applaud your diabolical theorizing there is no evidence Islamists (homo or otherwise) have the potency to pull it off. Furthermore, I think their plan would be the opposite: create the maximum number of beautiful blonde women to have for harems and raping. Genetically despoiling the women beforehand would be counter productive.
There is vast evidence everywhere that anti-Semitic puppet masters hate Jews.
They arrange for higher Muslim populations to target Judeo-Christians. This is something that Jews would never do.
Look at IslamoGloboHomo under Obama giving hundreds of millions dollars to Iran so they can threaten Palestinian Jews. If Obama is a puppet, he was not being run by Jews. Given his upbringing he may have been one of the Muslim masters.
How about Angela “Welcome Rape-ugees” Merkel? She backed Führer Zelensky, enemy of the Jews, in undermining the Minsk agreements. As an Islamophile she brings in Muslims to replace Jews and Christians.
The rising tide of antisemitism across Europe shows that the non-Jewish IslamoGloboHomo puppet masters want to suppress Judaism. The puppet masters’ Bob Vylan performance was a true expression of their beliefs.
___
There is a little good news. The U.S. is escaping IslamoGloboHomo. As a Judeo-Christian populist country the Bob Vylan band has been denied visas for their hate.
I am not sure what I can do to help you see the truth. It is pretty clear if you open your eyes. In Europe start with the question — Name the Muslim or Islamophile — this will lead you straight to the source of the problem almost every time.
PEACE 😇
We know there are many great ancient prehistoric artifacts tabooed from the curriculum at the Archae departments at Cambridge and Stanford.

We had the anti-Trump ‘no kings’ rallies a few weeks ago. Some new anti-Trump rallies are scheduled for this coming Friday, July 4th.
The delusional, violent, and ultimately dangerous modern so called ‘progressives’, with their belief that they are part of a ‘resistance’, and that Trump is a ‘literal new Hitler’, at present see themselves in the United States as living under something that is the equivalent of 1944 occupied France, with ‘ICE’ being the gestapo.
Just as France had it’s ‘Free French’ fighting for a ‘Free France’, these so called ‘progressives’ see themselves as ‘Free Americans’ fighting for a ‘Free America’.
Accordingly, these new July 4th anti-Trump rallies are being called ‘Free America’ events.
https://www.newsweek.com/free-america-protests-nationwide-july-4-2092433
“This July 4th, while the U.S. marks Independence Day, we’ll gather across the country—on porches, in town squares, backyards, and streets—to stand for real freedom and build a vision of a Free America brick by brick,” Women’s March says on its website.
Women’s March wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on June 28: “….If you’re hosting a block party or a BBQ this 4th of July, help us protect democracy with joyful resistance!”
You need to keep a close eye on those sneaky Russians.

Or they can fall prey once again to the domineering posture of their neighbor to the north, that has dominated their way of life for (too) many centuries now. Time to try something new, like so many of their neighbors have already done and have benefited from their new freer postures.

Media got worse but it was always partially like that. What has changed is the decision-makers seem fully enthralled in their own propaganda. They actively spout obvious one-sided nonsense –It’s a unprovoked war, I am outraged, we have never done that!
It used to be less so. It reminds me of the last-days of socialist propaganda before 1989, the enthusiasts left to push the official line were inept careerists with no shame. But they would wink-wink and today’s Western morons look like they actually believe in it – possibly they are a new genetic species optimized for ideological warfare…

The thing about extrapolation is it works for mathematical series with constraints and doesn’t work for restricted or random events. Let’s ask a simple question: is the number of births constrained? For example by the number of young women in the next generation? How about marriages? Is there a constraint or an upper limit?

It takes me about 30 – 40 minutes to complete my workout. Four times a week allows me with plenty of time to recuperate. Rest is very important. No need to be in the gym for 2.5 hours every day.
Body builders destroy their hearts. Schwarz. has consumed epic levels of steroids, hormones, &c. It is not unusual for body builders to drop dead with a stopped heart no chance of resuscitation age 30-40.

Don’t be JJ. We need real information, not isolated anecdotes. It seems that economies are slowing around the world, so where does Russia stand in relative terms? I have seen other anecdotes suggesting a slowdown in parts of the Russian economy and this would not surprise me at all. The country is being pressured by massive sanctions. On the other hand, certain long-dormant sectors of her economy are gradually reawakening. Military production has obviously increased at least for some products. So what is the net result? I saw one prediction which suggested that Russia cannot hold on economically with the SMO past the end of 2026, in other words that source has no idea.
CHEMK was privatized in the 1990s (probably in a fire sale) and re-nationalized last year. Who knows what actually goes on there?
It could be interesting to learn which oligarchs are enriched by the SMO and which are impoverished, assuming there is a pattern.

Schwarze is a fraud and in trouble now, he’s got already heart surgery few years back…he cannot undone the damage of years of steroids abuse.
For seniors it is recommended to do mild exercises only, the arteries lost elasticity and are narrowing, so for heart pumping the blood/oxygen for a strenuous exercise leads to damage (arrhythmia first).
There is a guy here “Sudden Death” he can give advise on ‘stopped heart’ complication.
I guess the three surgeries were all about replacing the aortic valve again and again, over the course of years, after wear and tear. Possibly the first one was due to a congenital defect?
Molotov had 8 heart attacks and died 96 year old.
Perhaps, Mr. Hack should become a vegetarian like Molotov.
Then again, maybe, that was why he had the heart attacks.
Yes, but your coming from a rational viewpoint. The modern progressives aren’t rational.
They are instead, violent, delusional, and dangerous.
Oswald, and some will hate me for saying this, whom I believe acted alone, is a good example.
He, rather illogically, murdered Kennedy, a president who (relatively speaking) was somewhat sympathetic to many of the ideas a person like Oswald might of had.
All things being the same, if Oswald had been born a few decades later and had avoided the JFK assassination, as a professional paid ‘counter-demonstrator’ he’d today probably be a purple haired member of antifa, making narcissistic faux scenes of being ‘oppressed’ as he deliberately got himself arrested for the thirtieth time, and would be routinely flashing a Marxist fist for the benefit of the cameras.
Mind you, I say these things about these people, but I don’t wish them ill will or harm. I wish them well. Instead, with probably a great many others who’d want to do the same, I’d like if at all possible to simply amicably and peaceable separate from them.
It’s widely accepted now that wanting to physically assault and murder those who differ from them in viewpoint is a gig of the modern progressives. Bad enough. Others shouldn’t adopt this murderous mentality in turn as it will simply make things worse.
Good for you guys.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Excuse me, but how are they “bonded”? They make decent money and are free to move around, most people are nice and kind customers, while they do not even speak any English, they expect sizable cash only tips and everyone knows they are illegally in the US yet no one bothers to complain about it or call ICE on them.
They do a good job and I am nice to them, but to call them “bonded” is highly insolent of you.
Molotov most likely kep his arteries open and blood running thin from eating garlic and drinking lots of vodka. The well lubricated Russian man. 🙂
So you’re basically admitting that you cannot provide a reliable (or any) source for this unusual and outlandish statement?
There are plenty of examples of non-progressives using violence and assassinations, or people doing it for ethnic reasons.
What triggers the behavior is not a particular set of beliefs but fully embracing an ideology. Most ideological people can handle it, they can be hard to talk to and are preoccupied with enforcing their viewpoint but stay normal. For a subset of ideologues thinking and talking doesn’t suffice and they usually also have personal issues.
Oswald was a freak. I don’t know if he acted alone or acted at all, it’s too far back to matter much. But he was clearly searching for a job to be an agent for someone – most likely he was a hands-off agent of some US agency – not fully trusted and eventually setup as a patsy (his words). Whether he was an excellent shot, or there were others, matters less than the fact that he was not an amateur and his handlers should had known what was going on. Somebody knew and the whole decades-long charade with JFK mystery is mostly to hide this apriori knowledge…
The relations up until 2022 were actually somewhat ok, and the trade was growing (and even direct investment from Russia). Oh, what happened in 2022? Hmm…
I read it. I disagree with you. When there’s a will, there’s a way.
You say:
If it’s taken such ‘an unshakeable hold’, why is it necessary for the corporate media to constantly bombard humanity 24-7 with an anti-race propaganda blitz, known by a euphamism as ‘anti-racism’. [What would happen if this blitz were to suddenly stop? Would people return to a more natural ‘tribal’ way of doing things?]
If it’s taken such ‘an unshakeable hold’ why is it necessary for wealthy elites to employ violent zombified lowlife thugs known as ‘antifa’ as enforcers on a perpetual witch hunt looking for ‘racists’?
I submit that global ‘progressive Multiculturalism’, ‘globalization’ as you call it, easily has all the earmarks of being a gigantic cult. All that’s missing is they don’t have a cult leader…yet!
Separation can sometimes ameliorate things. It doesn’t have to be either/or. I have come across detractors of Globalization who have adopted a live and let live philosophy in this regard, ie they would allow for separation, ie a real autonomy, for both the so called ‘progressives’ and those who differ with them in key ways.
However, I have never yet come across a proponent of ‘globalization’ who would allow for this, i.e.,it’s instead a totalitarian ‘my way or the highway’ with them.
I am curious, and this is not a trick question, Mr Hack, hypothetically, and if you had the power, if some people groups wished to, would you allow for them to peaceable and amicably separate from the larger society?
It’s true, this might ruin for some their vision of a perfectly united Earth. But then, I accept that the world, and the people within it, simply aren’t perfect, it being unrealistic to think otherwise, and we do the best we can.
I’d be glad to hear your thoughts. I spent several years reading 19th century Anglosphere books, and let the chips fall where they may in regards to my conclusions, even if it went against preconceived notions I may have had, or reflected poorly upon the Anglosphere. The point being I wanted the truth about the past.

He effectively demonstrated that he didn’t feel he belonged in America. (And his original opinion was correct, even though he failed to take to the the USSR.). If only he stayed there, or if only other people who felt this way were given some peaceful outlet of escape.
Lithuania also called for a naval coalition of the willing to blockade the Bosphorus and detain Russian ships. 🤔
When Lithuania proposed this outlandish big ballzz plan to Britain, the Brits instructed them it would need Turkey’s consent to work.

This is an excellent comment, very revealing.
Thankyou for your honesty.
How frequently do you make use of their services/labour?
Do you actually pay them or does the overseer take care of that when you leave the premises?
Have you noticed any bruises, do they make eye contact when they service you?
I think it’s as much a problem of managing the Chinese organized crime as is Westerners using the services of illegal immigrants that might be trafficked by the organized crime networks. Some make the case that the CCP is not cracking down on organized crime but instead has a tacit understanding with it that it won’t cause too much trouble in China proper but might instead do whatever they want outside while aligning their activities with the strategic interests of the CCP. The whole fentanyl issue is an example, the scam industry in Cambodia and Myanmar another, illegal immigration to North America and Western Europe is also part of the problem.
Of course, as Whitney Webb points out the state – organized crime connection is as much an old American problem as it has become a Chinese one in the past generation, and has been a Russian one in the past two generations or so. It’s probable that this fusion of the state and the organized crime will just increase in most of the world in the next couple of decades as we move forward what William Gibson has termed the Klept, leading to a new ruling class in the techno feudal social system.
Welcome to the cyberpunk era…
You are correct.
Linguistically a cult is a ‘false religion’. A single charismatic figure is frequently the core of small cults, but that is not a requirement. Globalism’s size creates a cult where pieces sometimes have a single leader but the movement as a whole does not.
The Globalist cult wields dogmas that are deemed beyond challenge. Transgressions are punished. Look at the way they attempted to cancel JK Rowling, even though she shares many of their beliefs. One gains status in the cult by virtue signalling harder.
To maintain the false religion, cult followers have developed an amazing degree of mental compartmentalism. They are required to dogmaticially believe in mutually contradictory positions. Globalism requires its adherents to be both enthusiastically corporatist and progressive. How can one be both?
Here is a European example — The dogmatic belief in open borders brings in young combat aged invaders. The dogmatic belief in feminism requires women to have and express power without male protectors. Yet in reality, women and girls frequently become victim to the male invaders. Anyone who points out that mostly Muslim migrants are the problem wind up being targeted, investigated by the police, and often fined or jailed.
They hate those who oppose their dogmatic vision of societal perfection. This is why most political violence comes from this faction. Targets are usually Judeo-Christians. But, terrorist progs are capable of turning on their own, as we recently saw in Minnesota.

There is reason for hope. In America Judeo-Christian Populism is going head to head with Multicultural Globalism. MAGA is scoring wins both on traditional culture and Remigration. It took decades to dig this hole, so it cannot be fixed in 4 years. Defeating Globalism will require multiple MAGA Presidential terms.
Can Europeans save themselves? France and Germany have much worse problems than America. Any recovery is further complicated by the Globalist EU. We will have to wait and see.

An intellectually dishonest anti-immigration position, hypocritical and outlandish so.
They oppose enforcement of your immigration laws, so clearly they don’t consider this their home, than what is it to them?
Voluntary interactions from their perspective, trump state-enforced boundaries every time, as long as they personally benefit. How could it ever comeback to bite them?
Should they be mocked for insisting on a White Country in the North East of Europe, while exploiting mass immigration of unskilled immigrants to the United States?
IMHO this is primarily due to cultural differences between the two groups, Old Stock Americans on one hand and the massage enjoyers on the other.
America is not an economic zone and treating it like one is destroying it.
They have no roots, they walk down a street and feel zero solidarity with the people who genuinely love, and see their future tied to Amerika.
Who’s talking about Westerners?
Well, I guess LatW is very much westernized, and where she lives most people are White Americans therefore Western. They’d be the customers of the organized crime controlled businesses that would be employing those who you referred to as (Chinese) bonded labourers. If Western customers didn’t use the services of these businesses (be it spa/nail salons or infamous massage shops) then there would be no human trafficking leading to what you describe as bonded labour. So yeah, Westerners…
In this case I meant “nebulous outside forces” and was not trying to sort out different players. As you suggest, Putin may be a form of globalist but I still believe he cares more about Ukraine than leaders of other countries, if only for practical reasons. Ukrainian and Russian interests align better than those of Ukraine and Western Europe. I believe Western Europe and the USA essentially view Ukraine as a tool to be used against Russia. Statements by Western leaders which suggest otherwise are probably platitudes or lies.
I thought it was a good clip. Nice irony by your pal Dr. No! cutting to the all important commercial.

And is the grand scheme of all things worldwide, realistically all the smaller nations can be called folklore groups, including Slovakia, so you have to work what you got and strive to be tidy, higher income, IQ and technically advanced as possible while objectively not being big.

More good news on MAGA policy: (1)
More revenue. Slight inflation. Gasoline and other energy prices are at record lows versus recent history. Businesses are moving manufacturing to the U.S., permanently heading off the risk of tariffs.
Old school GOP establishment shill Thom Tillis will join Mitch McConnell in not running for 2026 re-election. Chances are high that both of these will become proper MAGA Senate seats instead of obstacles to progress. Ken Paxton may primary swamp critter John Cornyn in Texas.
MAGA is winning.

The paradoxical situations Globalization puts us in. It was better when we all stayed put in our own place…
Looks like a bunch of Armenian women whose menses have synched, after living together for a time.
I don’t think they’d need that. A couple more generations and they will probably have the planet mostly for themselves. In the Jackpot Trilogy, the future planet is highly technologically advanced, controlled by IA algorithms through nanotechnology and mostly empty of human populations. That is in the multiverse timelines where human civilization made it through the Jackpot bottleneck where around 80% of people died out. Musk is right demographic crisis is now more threatening than the Malthusian trap. Even Africa and India will eventually be sub replacement territories. It’s just a matter of time.
Putin may be a form of globalist but I still believe he cares more about Ukraine than leaders of other countries, if only for practical reasons.
You don’t deny that Ukrainians would vote against Russian rule, correct? Which means you are cheering a globalist who violently enacts his will against a smaller country. How can you complain about globalists when you support one?
What exactly is Putin providing with his care? Besides his violent invasion that buries their sons and brothers?
Ukrainian and Russian interests align better than those of Ukraine and Western Europe.
Will most Ukrainians hold that opinion when the war is over?
It’s obvious that the media is a supporting ally in the globalist propaganda war. It doesn’t seem likely that this economic/cultural movement will soon dissipate nor that the media’s role as a supporting pillar will wither away either. We’re not going back to pastoral nor hunter gatherer ways of civilizational organization.
I’ve never been a big proponent of globalization myself, but have to admit that its tentacles are quite strong and hard to dismantle. Sure, I wouldn’t be opposed to groups that wish to separate themselves and live a more pastoral life to do so. You can see some of this in practice by watching the TV series Portlandia, that depicts the lifestyles of disaffected uber liberal commune hippies that take up more of an urban lifestyle. 🙂
The West simply continued the Cold War using Ukraine as a club against Russia. They thought it would be easy to bring the greatly weakened Russia down a few more notches and then feast on the wreckage of both Ukraine and Russia. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet, but it looks like this nasty plan is not working out.
This doesn’t mean I like Putin, but I think most of what has happened is built into the situation and the Kremlin reactions are not just from him.
This is now all pretty clear even to disinterested observers since the West has sponsored (or executed) direct strikes on Russian strategic nuclear-capable bombers. The Western-controlled media hyped up the strategic aspect of this stupidity so we know that was the focus of the strikes and they had little to do with Ukraine or the SMO. Just the West fighting for dominance over a strong nuclear power it seeks to control.
Glad to see that you’ve returned! I gave my final fair well at my comment #10,000. I’m currently up to #11,490. Its been a long fair well. 🙂
This doesn’t mean I like Putin, but I think most of what has happened is built into the situation and the Kremlin reactions are not just from him.
Well I think you are full of shit and like other conservative Western Putin supporters have a fantasy of a strong man coming to fix a degenerate West. Even though Putin goes against other values you support (free speech, open internet, ability to criticize the government, due process, gun ownership) your desire for a strongman overrules your own beliefs and shows that you are really just unprincipled. Out of frustration with the world in its current state you support a mass murdering globalist over other globalists even if the result is the same but with more Orthodox graves. Essentially you run on spite and try to rationalize what is really a primitive Big Man desire.
This is now all pretty clear even to disinterested observers since the West has sponsored (or executed) direct strikes on Russian strategic nuclear-capable bombers.
And how would we know that is the case?
Those bombers were viewable by private satellite and Ukraine has developed all kinds drone warfare innovations.
Explain how that is clear.

It depends on the circumstances. Iceland is a large, remote, frozen island. Our smaller nations are in the middle of Europe and our emptying lands are tempting. We also have manageable weather for newcomers.
If our nations become too small with ‘open borders’ required by EU there will be in-migration. Some of it is good, some can be catastrophic – visit Brussels or parts of London for what bad migration looks like.
Numbers matter, even a 100k ethnic group can survive with right conditions. It’s a big problem all over Europe, but 19k births in Lithuania is like a large university incoming class. Is that enough?

Russian media analyst starts giving honest opinion, host asks him to stop before he is arrested
I am not sure what I can do to help you see the truth. It is pretty clear if you open your eyes. In Europe start with the question — Name the Muslim or Islamophile — this will lead you straight to the source of the problem almost every time.
Islamophile…….like someone who praises Islam as important to the country and kisses a Quran?
So Putin is the source of the problem then?
They arrange for higher Muslim populations to target Judeo-Christians. This is something that Jews would never do.
Putin uses Muslims to kill Judeo-Christians. He uses them as rear guard troops as in they shoot Christian Russians that don’t want to fight.
Is Putin part of IslamoGloboHomo? Please explain how Macron is part of IslamoGloboHomo but not Putin.
LOL. Putin was KGB, I trust him as little as I trust any ex-CIA people (such as Bush 1), which is not at all. People have made the case that VVP is strongly influenced by Jewish power (like all major politicians) and may be partially Jewish. He was also clearly trying for a Russia which could coexist with the corrupt West on favorable terms. In some quarters this makes him a globalist.
I look at things which would play out about the same even if Putin were replaced. He is not the god dwarf king you idiots like to think of. Sure, he is kind of a chess player moving a lot of pieces to play the game to achieve his goals. So there are pieces, squares and rules of a sort. But the pieces are probably more powerful than he is and the rules and squares can be changed by the opponent. He might be entirely controlled by outside forces.
Get a grip and a clue. No good will come out of the West using Ukraine to pressure Russia. This was a mistake. It predictably led to huge loss of life and mass misery. The people who made this happen are evil. I think you people who defend it are either clueless or scum.
Some have water on the brain. Others, not dissimilarly, have ‘Nazi’ on the brain.

Typical JJ click bait.
The discussion concerned the number of Patriot systems destroyed in Ukraine. One said it was a single system and another speaker said “they were destroyed” implying multiple systems. The point of contention is will the Russian defense department lie about these numbers? LOL.
I like that the host said, “the restless Donald Trump.”
I pressed onward to the finish of the Huberman show on the vagus nerve.
It was a chore, but it was a chore like a Neal Stephenson book or Joe Rogan Hal Puthoff podcast where it is worth it enough that after you are glad you did it. It is not a chore like reading Lord of the Rings or listening to Joe Rogan Donald Trump where you would never do it unless you were getting paid.
It was not his best show but it was close. Some excellent information. He has a very long section on the physiological sigh. His presentation is very good.
Although he is an ignoramus regarding meditation and so also he is an ignoramus regarding breathing meditation. He did not mention that meditation app (!) that he was promoting for years so I presume they stopped giving him payola for that.
And also that is a terrible name for what would be more accurately described as a Conscious-deep-inhalation-Pause-Gaspy-on-top-inhale-Pause-Long-slow-exhale. The critical part is that second gaspy on top inhale which is practically the exact opposite of a sigh.
One of these days he needs to do a show on secrets to becoming the Tiger Woods of academia. Maybe he has already done that but it is only for the VIP room audience who send him money.

Miss Russia, Miss Poland, and Miss Kazakhstan all cruised through the first round.
Imagine what ten Project 10510 icebreakers built at Chinese Shipyards could achieve.
Technical Industrial Financial cooperation on such a project would bear immense Geo Strategic fruit.
And reshape global trade routes for at least 9 months a year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_of_Life
As of June 2025, Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex has delivered six ships, five Aframax crude oil tankers built in co-operation with Hyundai Heavy Industries and one Arctic shuttle tanker built in co-operation with Samsung Heavy Industries and has 26 ships reportedly under construction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvezda_Shipbuilding_Complex
On the 20th April 2020, FSUE Atomflot placed an order for the world’s largest and most powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker with delivery scheduled for 2027. Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex, which was selected as the sole builder for the 120 megawatt Project 10510.
All in the Far East. 🤔
So what were his insights or conclusions regarding the vagus nerve?
That’s very good news, especially if a significant industrial part of the project is done in RF.
I remember being in 2018 in Saint Petersburg listening to a presentation about repairing and rebuilding the northern sea route ports’ infrastructure.
The cynical me was as usual thinking about how much money would be stolen during these projects.
All the better if I am being proven wrong and if the things are being done for real.
I’ve only managed to watch about half of it. When a person who keeps trying to sell me Athletic Greens and all the other crap he promotes in his videos tells me that he feels relaxed after massaging the back of his ears, my instinctive reaction is to think that he’s lying there too.
I’d be surprised if the anatomical information he gives in this video is grossly inaccurate but I don’t trust his practical recommendations much at all. I tried his “physiological sigh” technique long ago and it didn’t do much for me. I may have done something wrong but the very deep double-inhale and extra long exhale leave you oxygen deprived and, if anything, have a bit of a distressing effect. By contrast, the old technique of deep abdominal breathing does have an immediate calming effect. As I understand it, it stimulates the vagus nerve also during the inhalation part, as the expanded abdomen presses parts of the nerve.
I may try to watch the rest of the video but compared to other podcasters, I’ve always found Huberman’s videos short on practical content. His clip on how to combat jet lag left me basically in the dark. Lots of talk but not too much in the way of simple, actionable recommendations.
Did you read the Kerry Howley hit piece in New York magazine?
The man definitely has something I would like to try and copy. Athletic Greens is a scam though. This much is science.
Metformin and statins must be among the safest drugs on the market. They’ve been used for decades and the side effects are well known and quite mild, whereas the effect on their intended targets is very effective. They absolutely lower your blood sugar and LDL levels. Moreover, these are off-patent medicines so no, I don’t think anybody’s making so much money on them really.
In fact, some people used to promote metformin as a possible off-label longevity drug after a study in the UK found that people with type-2 diabetes taking metformin lived longer than people with no diabetes. Those results were not reproduced in later studies and I think the drug is currently out of fashion for that purpose but it’s been associated to other health benefits and blood glucose lowering drugs, such as acarbose, did show strong life extension results in mice. The main drawback of metformin, according to reasonably reliable health experts, like Kaeberlein or Attia, is that it seems to blunt the effects of exercise, so it’s definitely not for me.
I am no doctor but if your LDL levels are elevated, I would advise that you start taking statins now. Or, if you can afford it, the more expensive alternatives to statins, I can’t remember their names. Why wait until you have plaque in your arteries? The association between high levels of LDL and plaque buildup is as strong as anything that you find in medicine. People with a genetic variant (apoe-4 iirc) that predisposes them to have high LDL levels are known to develop plaque and suffer from heart disease earlier than the general population. Preventative medicine is delaying or preventing arteriosclerosis instead of waiting until you already have the condition. It’s much harder to fight an existing condition than to avoid getting it in the first place. Of course, this is something to discuss with your doctor because all drugs have potentially unpredictable side-effects but I know doctors with a family history of heart disease who started taking statins as a preventative measure in their 30s-40s.
The one about his womanizing? No, too long. I don’t know the details of that story but it does reinforce the idea that he has scamming tendencies.
Are you serious, dude? Wow, the lengths you will go to…
No, they do not have visible bruises. I’ve also only once seen something that might have looked like prostitution, and it was very discreet. They would be raided if there was prostitution there as the people here are very Puritanical about that sort of thing.
Our county is not densely populated so they would catch any traffickers rather quickly (the Canadian border is very strict, btw).
The place is run by a Chinese lady who occasionally brings over new women. I pay the establishment, and it’s not even that cheap. I don’t mind paying cash to the masseuse, without a check (even though they should pay taxes).
The masseuses can also be a bit pushy about tips – they expect sizable tips and openly show dislike if the tip is too small.
I took my son to a Vietnamese hairdresser today. It’s a family gig and they work a lot, and do a good job (but they probably still rent their premises), I am friends with the lady there and do not mind tipping her well since she is asking for much less than this other Brazilian hairdresser or the local Anglo chicks and gays.
I do respect that these Asians work so much. Today I told the Vietnamese lady to go out and enjoy the sun for a while. Btw, I like the Vietnamese more than the Chinese, more humble, friendlier, much much less aggressive.
So don’t give me your sob stories about the poor Chinese. It might be worse on the East coast. But on the West coast they are doing very well in the big cities here, the professionals make even more money than educated Whites. The women taking many of the high paid jobs from White women. Not to mention the properties the Chinese have bought up thus making housing inaccessible to locals. And they are very materialistic.
Many have very poor English (I was actually thinking it’d be good to start a business for them helping with accent correction since my accent is almost native level, it would just be hard to communicate if they do not speak much English at all).
I know a Chinese woman from Hong Kong and she is more “liberal / woke” than the Whites here and despises Fox News and the “deplorables”. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I know this stuff better than you do. If someone is trafficked (which they shouldn’t be) it’s most likely one of their own country or some Russian or African or Jew who is running it, not one of us.
I have always been against illegal immigration into the Cascadian region. Or even too much immigration from other states.
I support a complete moratorium on non-European or Russian immigration into the EU, except for some very highly skilled (although that too is debatable – high skilled is a very broad definition and can easily be abused) and minor rotational, seasonal labor from places such as Vietnam.
I support remigration from Europe back to the home countries.
Generally, I do not support too much immigration into the United States as a whole, however, my stance has softened recently due to the fact that the United States has displayed hostility and condescension towards Europe and tried to introduce a transactional relationship that favors the US. I believe the relationship should be as equals. Due to these very recent circumstances, I have started caring less about the future racial fate of the United States. (I will still support Nick, though.)
As to services provided by illegal migrants, if these services were not available, I would use local services or forego those services that are optional (one can always buy a massage gun and spouses can give each other rubs or one can go out and try physical therapy in a medical setting). The people from places such as China and Mexico or India are very eager and interested in entering the West and even EE now, do not paint this in a one sided way as if they are all victims – they’re not. They are looking for a better life and willing to put in the hours. If someone is trafficked, that should be stopped immediately, however, mot of them are clearly not trafficked.
Going forward, it looks like this inflow will be reduced so these ones who did get in are probably lucky (unless they are found by the ICE).

Many Old stock Americans, possibly even most, have much more liberal and “welcoming” views on immigration than I do. But we try to be both polite and civilized to everyone.
From your own link:
And further down it lists some more. So basically, most drugs have some gut microbiota effect but it is not known how much of a problem that is, as the authors explain:
Do low dose statins affect the gut microbiota more than diet coke or alcohol? Show me the comparative studies before we talk of waiting to have your arteries clogged with plaque to do something about it.
It wouldn’t have to be “pastoral” – we want our cities that our ancestors built to ourselves since we are the heirs. It doesn’t have to be pastoral, just affordable for young families. It can be made such by a few alterations in the financial system (lending, rates), by stopping mass immigration and by starting at least partial remigration.
Maybe it is the older generation that could go “pastoral”, scale down, instead of the young Whites? Instead of just live as rentier that require more and more “cheap labor” to be brought into these old cities that our ancestors built and set up the civilization there?
I wonder what the great great great grandparents would’ve thought if they were told back then “we’re going to just replace your progeny and the new peeps are going to use the roads and houses that you’re building now”?
Although there is nothing wrong with “pastoral” or some kind of “urban villages”, as nowadays that can provide a high living standard and probably better for child rearing.
A bigger question though, Hack… I think you accidentally stumbled into the wrong avenue here by posing your initial question and stating that complete multi-culturalism and the vanishing of the European race is inevitable. If this is so, then why would Ukrainians even fight for Ukraine? When they can just mass immigrate to the West and live peacefully… I mean after all, their culture is going to die anyway?
Or do you just expect the nationalists to fight for some vague “Western values” that most Americans represent?
The point here is is that it is worth fighting for something that is one’s own (land, language, culture, relatives).
Helmer has a piece on the recent increased use of Botox-type treatments in Russia. I think he is chalking it up as a status symbol. I wonder if a bunch of young, rapidly aging single women are pursuing the treatments to help find husbands?

I would not say he scammed those women. I would say he schemed them. Like his father did before him he has a Jewish genius for keeping himself on the innocent side of the scheme-scam divide. It is sad but true there is very little in practical human relations which cannot be classed as manipulation.
Here is the thing about the second-gaspy protocol.
If you do a following-the-breath-meditation you are sort of aiming at the opposite result. What you get is very regular heart and lung action. One of the obstacles to doing this is a gasp reflex or spasm which is an interruption of your following the breath and sets you back to time zero. It does something else if you are paying attention. The anatomical source of the gasp reflex or spasm is two curvilinear segments inside your chest, one on each side.
This is the precise location of your vagus nerve bundles which otherwise might not be obvious. If you ask your doctor to map your vagus paths for you it will quickly inform you how little your doctor really knows.
If you have a big sneeze and pay close attention right after there will be a series of pulse and then multiple reverberations along these same two curvilinear chest segments, your vagus nerve bundles. This information is not explicitly contained in Huberman’s show but it is almost there if you interpolate what he does present.
That gasp reflex or spasm and similarly a sneeze is not only an annoyance. Our subconscious brainquarters is giving us great valuable useful data on our anatomy.
For you and I particularly this is good stuff to know in regulating our effort level during the course of a run. It is almost (not quite) an accessible second wind.
Did Helmer inform us if they have their own Botulism Neurotoxin memecoin?
In the West it is a growth landmark for a person when they realize organized crime is part of the government, or at least recognize the organizations are so closely tied together as to be inseparable.
Don’t forget to add in the connection between many corporations and organized crime. How many firms facilitate illegal immigration as part of their business model?
Then there is the organized crime of stealing elections. Non-profits are used to fund race hustling and ballot fraud at the bottom. And, it goes all the way up to the weaponized disinformation complex that pretends to be “news”: (1)
USAID was an organized crime machine, thankfully now gone. And, there is more work to do.

Did you win bigly?
You sound (to some extent) like a well trained pharmaceutical salesman trained to minimize the possible side efects of both statins and metformin.
I agee. In my own battle to lower glucose within my bloodstream, I too rely on exercise, diet, natural herbs and intermittent fasting to do the job. So far, so good! Also, you’re mistaken to think that possible muscle soreness is the only possible side effect from taking metformin. You can find many resources on the web that will clarify this for you.
Statins are even more controversial than metformin. Watch this interesting video clip and see why this doctor will never take statins for himself, and why he rarely, if ever, prescribes any for his own patients:
1. I don’t gamble.
2. They still got guilty on transportation for prostitution. I never.
How can that even be against the law? I just counted and Bibi and Donald the Fat have been doing genocide on live TV 24/7 for 20 flippn months now. Transportation schmanportation give Diddy a medal. Although if he walks free with time served I guess I am OK with that.
Our great great grandparents were mostly motivated to move to the US or Canada to better themselves economically, not for political reasons. Our parents and grandparents generations did emigrate here for political reasons. How many of their kids are still being influenced by their parents patriotic ideals? What proportion of these offspring are still active within the emigre community today? You’re lucky to see them in church at Christmas time. Also, many of today’s immigrant community are quick to assimilate and have little desire to move back to live in their bombed out cities and homes…
Are you sure about that? I don’t know what to do with that information but my Garmin watch and chest strap do an excellent job of keeping me informed of my effort levels.
I gave Huberman’s video another try last night, just in case I’m being too dismissive, but I didn’t feel like things improved too much for me in the segment that I hadn’t watched. The vagus nerve (VN) also regulates your serotonin levels, which is a good thing to know I guess, but whatever you’re doing to increase those levels (which nobody knows what they should be exactly and apparently you don’t want to overdo it), that’s what you need to carry on doing and your VN will help you with that. Then he went on to describe some other VN calming techniques, which he warned beforehand weren’t as potent as his physiological sigh, and I started to fall asleep on my couch as he explained them. Something about turning your neck to the sides while pushing your elbows down… I lost track there and went to bed.
I got 10 seconds into the first one. Stupid & unwatchable. Are you trolling? If so EPIC FAIL on your part.

In any country with multiple native ethnic groups and religions any wise leader will embrace all of them – that’s what normal people do. Trying to put one group against another is very unwise. The rabid Ukie nationalists should learn that.
Mutual respect is a positive thing. The more extreme examples of the Western submission are a bigger problem. The massive migrant-import and then celebration in Western Europe – including by Macron – is a political choice – an ideological attempt to remake their societies. The groups you point to in Russia have been living there for 1,000 years, they are as native as Russians. Learn some history and geography.
And who are the Judeo-Christians? I am confused, is this a new ethnic group or an actual religion? Who gets the top billing? Based on your usage it seems obvious.
QUIT POSTING TRANNY SHIT.
This is madness.
Practitioners of Christianity and Judaism. It is self evident. What else could it possibly mean?
Neither.
Some syllabic sequences simply work better in the English language. Trying the reverse order yields absurdly awkward parsing — Christio-Judaic. Try to say that three times fast. Judeo-Christian does not elevate one above the other, it is merely better phonetically.
Does the reverse sequence work better in German? If so, feel free to use it that way around.
Consider NATO in English versus OTAN in French? Neither is ‘right’ nor gives one word ‘top billing’.

What upsets them are the massage enjoyers, who are a horde of low six figure income urbanites who want live as plantation owners.
Driven around in Ubers, house keepers, nail salons, food delivery.
All while doing some fake job.
Mass immigration isn’t some altruistic humanitarian project; it’s a supply-chain for cheap, invisible labor that keeps the professional-class comfort machine humming.
What kind of behaviour would ensure the destruction of a small and proud peoples in Eurasia, or for that matter their xenophile diaspora in Amerika.
A 1.1 TFR and a 50% miscegenation rate, will gets you there as an ethnic group in under 50 years.
People should really avoid that sort of behaviour, regardless of whether they are massage enjoyers or not.

I look at things which would play out about the same even if Putin were replaced. He is not the god dwarf king you idiots like to think of. Sure, he is kind of a chess player moving
I’ve never called him a god but he is a dictator and I have posted videos of Russians talking about how their elections are fake and that they don’t have political freedom.
In fact I recently posted a video from Russian state television where they asked a guest to stop talking or else he could get arrested for having the wrong opinion.
Get a grip and a clue. No good will come out of the West using Ukraine to pressure Russia.
You are the one that needs a clue.
I live in America and America has already turned a profit from this war.
It’s a net profit for America based on LNG and defense sales.
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Remains-the-Worlds-Top-LNG-Exporter-as-Shipments-Hit-Record-High.html
We are selling LNG to European countries that were previously buying direct from Russia.
The cost of funding Ukraine will be easily covered and most of the donated hardware was being decommissioned. They actually didn’t know what to do with the Strikers and Bradleys. Well the 4d gremlin chessmaster helped solve that problem and provided a path for the US to pay for it all.
That’ll do gremlin, that’ll do.
Do they practice both? How does that work? The belief systems are mutually exclusive, with salvation through Jesus and all that…So which one? You can’t practice both.
Sure they do. Or some top billing works better in the Anglo world…could be either one.

Tolik has big ballzz, he lives by this code, he is no hypocrite.
Russia has reasonably transparent election: same day, public count, no mail-ins, voter IDs checked. As all democracies they control who is allowed to run and swamp the media with propaganda. How about Biden in the US media? It seemed very one-sided.
Question: would Putin win in a perfect system? All polls, Western too, show him with 55-80% approval. He would win. What’s your complaint? Where is dictatorship? Some people in Russia hate him, but you can find millions hating Trump, Harris-Biden, Macron, Starmer…you don’t get out much, do you?
They didn’t. I saw the video, you are lying. You can see people on the Western channels being cautioned and then cancelled, the mike goes silent, all the time.
$300 billion spent is a lot. Some of it, maybe 30% was old equipment, let’s subtract that. It leaves $200 billion in cash to Kiev or new weapons, mostly air defense. US has $35 trillion in federal debt – so $200 billion here or there doesn’t matter much., But with $200 billion every taxpayer in the US could get $1,000 refund…do you think most of them prefer to spend their $1,000 on Kiev and its adventures?
Madness and Tranny Shit reminded me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (“madness takes its toll”). I decided to spare you the clip. That show was subversive.
The grammatical rules of this English language construct are:
• Base term
• Modifying prefix
If you insist on strict grammatical deconstruction of the term Judeo-Christian:
• Placing Christian in the core position gives it ‘top billing’.
• The prefix Judeo- goes first but is a mere modifier of ‘lesser billing’.
I suggest avoiding this level of obscurata and minutiae. It is much more practical to accept the terminology for what it is — The most natural sounding option due to the nature of the English language. There is no secret code.

In any country with multiple native ethnic groups and religions any wise leader will embrace all of them – that’s what normal people do.
It’s not normal for a Christian to kiss a Koran in any context. Never.
Putin is most likely an atheist who occasionally attends services for the masses and our sucker conservative boomers like A123. Our Fox watching boomers get a glint in their eyes when they see Putin in church. GOSH LOOK AT THAT MAN HOLD A CROSS. I BET HE IS A GUD MAN.
Fake Christians always screw up and do something like kiss a Koran, commit mass murder or lament the fall of the USSR (a totalitarian state that taught atheism to children).
Trying to put one group against another is very unwise. The rabid Ukie nationalists should learn that.
So you believe that Putin was justified in launching a war to keep in their Muslims?
Why not let Chechnya have independence like he decreed for LPR/DPR?
And who are the Judeo-Christians? I am confused, is this a new ethnic group or an actual religion? Who gets the top billing? Based on your usage it seems obvious.
It is in reference to how A123 uses it.
I don’t normally use the term and consider it a fallacy by Christian conservatives. The only Jews I have seen use the term were selling either a show or product to Christians.
Christian conservatives describe Israel as a Judeo-Christian state when the state of Israel values gay atheist Jews that pass a DNA test over Christians that want to convert to Judaism. Thus it is a rather silly term that Jews for the most part don’t recognize. Jews do not believe Jesus is the savior and quietly view Christians as political allies that are religiously wrong and need to keep their distance.
The Kremlin is not paying very well these days so I thought I’d switch to Big Pharma.
Thanks but I’m sure you know that for every doctor on YT talking against statins I could easily find another one (or more like another 7) in favor of them.
One needs to be careful with all the contradictory information available online and if you must listen to just one doctor, I would advise against choosing one who doubts the “lipid-cholesterol hypothesis”, whatever that means. In fact, he doesn’t even mention any specific problem with statins. He just doubts that lowering LDL is effective against heart disease and prefers natural remedies to drugs but he seems to ignore that lifestyle changes can be very effective against certain conditions like high blood pressure or metabolic problems but only have limited effect on high LDL and plaque.
As I said, I personally know doctors who take statins as a preventative measure but here is a famous one with a large YT audience explaining why he does the same in his 30s:
Of course it’s always possible that your doctors are right and mine are wrong but if you’re truly concerned about the side effects of statins, you need to start somewhere like here, not on some YT channel:
https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/side-effects-of-statin-drugs
As usual with big conspiracy theories, it’s always necessary to remember that the world is much bigger than the US and doctors and researchers in the EU countries, China, Russia, etc are just as interested as anyone else in understanding how the human body works. So any Big Pharma scheme to promote dangerous drugs should take into account how they manage to keep their secrets away from everybody outside of the US too. Incredibly, many popular conspiracy theories, including some that Unz has written about, often forget this elementary fact.
He’s a good communicator. He wouldn’t have so many followers if he wasn’t. But I stopped paying much attention to him and I found his VN video less interesting from a practical perspective than I was hoping for. On the other hand, who knows? Maybe he did manage to activate my VN to make me fall asleep while watching him.
He has done like 500 hours on health and fitness and performance over the last five years. I’ve heard about a tenth of them. I have never heard him say one word about the corona virus or the experimental genetic medicine. A few times he has had guests who do so and he lets them talk and gently re-routes the interview.
If anybody knows a different story I would be interested to see it.
This information is modestly more useful but I still don’t know what it means. Does this review capture the impact of productivity which has transferred from civilian to military production as Russia faces military and economic pressure from the West?
From the last paragraph:
If Russian producers are upbeat why is your perspective otherwise?
What about the rest of the world? The economies of many countries are a wreck. The US economy has rampant inflation and runs mostly on FIRE hot air as far as I can tell.
Never mind the fact that S&P is a Western-centric entity. If the Russian stats were actually good and the writer somehow managed to publish a neutral article relating this information they would probably be fired. Were you born yesterday? My hunch is the Russian economy is in a huge fight for its life and seems to be mostly holding even. If they stay in the fight they may come out much stronger at the end. This gives the players an incentive to press forward without too much whining. On the other hand, there are oligarch battles behind the scenes which may have a big influence on the outcome.
Many doctors in the USA are not very bright but seem to believe they are. They are also strong herd animals. These characteristics are understandable considering the challenges of their chosen career and the bureaucracies in the health sphere. These observations do not mean doctors are wrong on any given point, but they are predictable.
Once UnitedHealth Care brings out their AI medical diagnostic program (completely unbiased, I’m sure) patients will long for the days of the irrationally pushy doctor.
GIRKIN LIVES
I’m familiar with Dr. Brad Stanton’s video clips and appreciate his insights. His “combination therapy” is interesting and something that I plan to study in more depth at a later time. As I mentioned previously, I recently had some in depth cardiac tests performed and was pleased to receive overall positive reviews. No statins suggested at this time. My LDL was slightly elevated at 106. I was told that no serious immediate concerns at all for up to 100. I’m confused because Dr Dhand suggests that statins shouldn’t normally be prescribed until a threshold of 140 – 170 is reached, whereas Dr. Stanton talks about wanting to keep his LDL in the 50 – 60 range, and this is part of the reason why he self medicates with a low level staten. Any ideas here?…
You try too hard…
And you failed to answer the key question:
There is no coherent way to be both and they can’t be combined so the J-Ch term is meaningless. It’s only a political slogan.
Your inadequate ESL skills have let you down. No one ever implied that there was a group that simultaneously practiced both. Thus, your failed & irrelevant question was based on a false premise.
To overcome your lack of English language fluency — Let me explain in slightly longer form. The term Judeo-Christian refers to the group composed of:
• Practitioners of Judaism
• Practitioners of Christianity
Both Judaism and Christianity share core texts, most notably the Pentateuch/Torah. This leads to shared shared Judeo-Christian values based on those texts, such as the Ten Commandments.
The addition of the New Testament in Christianity does not nullify the prior core work. The New Testament would make no sense with out the Old Testament foundation.
Facts are facts. Denying reality is getting you nowhere. I want to help you, but your overly emotional and tangential excursions make that difficult. Please calm down.
PEACE 😇
Saw a rabbit today and I want to say it was like maybe <100' from where I boarded a train that was packed like a sardine can for the next five or six stops, and which stopped underground for a few minutes because of congestion on the track.
Urban rabbits are pretty interesting creatures.
Is an urban rabbit close to a suburban one? Or is it a severely inbred creature heavily selected for its environment for like 150+ years. Maybe, A and B, some introgression from the suburbs, but not changing the pattern of selection.
I’m no expert at all but the idea is that you want to keep optimum levels of all biological markers. Children and healthy teenagers have LDL levels of 40-50 and of course they have about zero incidence of cardiovascular disease. These levels and the artery plaque that most scientists associate with it start increasing rapidly with age and in spite of all the medical progress of the last decades, cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death in most of the world. Autopsies of young people that die in accidents show that plaque starts building up very early in life and it’s just a slow, relentless progress until it reaches dangerous levels. For 50% of heart attack patients the first sign that they have a problem is sudden death. Dr. Stanfield’s idea, that probably comes from Dr. Attia’s philosophy, is to prevent CVD as much as possible by keeping optimum LDL levels. It’s the same idea as changing the oil of your car as soon as you see that it’s turning dark, instead of waiting to do the regular maintenance. That’s what my neighbor does and his vehicles definitely last longer than mine.
With that said, if your calcium score is zero (or low), your blood pressure is under control and your LDL is just a borderline 106, you’re doing fine and CVD is not a concern for you now. Lowering your LDL even further should keep you free of cardiovascular problems even longer but it’s a matter of life philosophy. Staying drug-free versus optimizing biomarkers.
What if Mr. Hack wants to pilot experimental air/spacecraft without wearing a g-suit? And he need the arteriosclerosis to do it? Have you thought of that possibility?
As I said before, you try too hard…it doesn’t fit and is intellectually incoherent. The ‘-‘, dash, in the middle of J-Chr implies commonality that simply isn’t there. But ok, believe whatever you want, the US has a collection of bizarre faiths like Mormonism, Pentecostals, Scientology, etc…and it works out fine most of the time. Or does it?
Don’t worry about my ESL…out of curiosity, how many languages do you speak?
ROTFLMAO — I successfully refuted your obviously incorrect assertions. What do you hope to get out of hysterical flailing?
You have lost because facts and intellectual coherence demonstrate the shared history of Judaism and Christianity. Your attempts to deny common existence of the Pentateuch/Torah in both religions has been spectacularly unsuccessful.
Facts remain facts no matter how much you deny reality.
Your histrionic and overwrought bleating is comical. You really need to accept the loss and move on. Repeatedly regurgitating already refuted false claims will get you nowhere.
PEACE 😇
We do not have a “50% miscegenation rate”, nowhere near, more like under 1%, and probably never will due to our innate mating preferences.
Calm down. The genocidal ravings in the Old Testament are not Christianity. They are your version that contradicts humanist Christianity. Maybe among the quasi-retarded country bumpkins where you come from those myths are how you see it.
Feel free to preach your genocidal myths, but you will be seen for what you are: bloodthirsty weirdos. Go back to your cave mentality – you are clearly lost in the civilized Christian world, as are many of your less advanced countrymen…

I accept your surrender.
You are trying waaaay too hard and it has catastrophically failed. You need to calm down.
You are not required to use verbiage that you do not like. When I use the term Judeo-Christian in an intellectually coherent manner, you win nothing by having an emotional meltdown. Absolutely everyone, except you, grasps the facts and can deal with reality. The meaning of Judeo-Christian is self evident.
Learn from my example. IMHO the absurd concept Abrahamic makes no sense. It is quite clear from the historical record that the theoretically overlapping Judeo-Christian versus Islamic names refer to different people & times. Unlike you, I do not have a gibbering mental collapse when poor terminology is used. I will even go with “Abraham Accords” as needed even though that naming convention is problematic.
PEACE 😇

Stanfield’s philosophy seems to be working. Well into his 30’s by now, I’ve always wondered why he never displays a five o’clock shadow on his smooth baby face? 🙂
The recent increase in Russian electricity prices is interesting since fuel costs should not have increased. Could inflation and the impact of war raise labor costs for utilities enough to justify the rate increase? Or is this strictly a political move? Have new unrelated expenses been pushed onto the electricity balance sheet or is this some sort of game and to what end?
Sure, I may have oversold the concept. Astronauts typically don’t pilot, and the newer craft don’t seem to pull as many gees in normal profiles. Crew Dragon maxes out at like 3 or 4.
And then military aircraft seem to be shifting to drone attack.
OTOH, Chuck Yeager was piloting well into old age, and you might want to emulate his ideas.
I only just started to read LatW’s response to you, but stopped, as I didn’t wish to (inadvertently) repeat her points, so if any of my response duplicates what she said it’s a coincidence.
True that.
Maybe, maybe not.
I think the so called ‘progressives’ Multi-cultural theory is that once the bulk of the various peoples of the world have been succesfully genocided by them (in the truest sense of that oft abused term) by their crudely being bred (ie ‘mixed’) out of existence, they won’t need the 24-7 ‘anti-race’ propaganda.
Having said that, you could ultimately be right.
Judging by their (‘progressive’s) unhinged behavior in the states of late, and what they’ve devolved into, ie violent and delusional, theory is one thing, reality another.
My guess is that maintaining an Orwellian police state ‘on the hunt for ‘racists” into perpetuity, ‘a boot stamping on a human face, forever’ as Orwell put it, might well serve the so called prog’s interest in maintaining power for themselves as a convenient control mechanism.
Heck, if they finally succeed in assassinating Trump, a person I believe to be controlled opposition, ie a strawman figure that they (‘the progressives’) have erected to represent what they perceive to be ‘authoritarianism’, ‘autocracy’, ‘fascism’, and Europeans as both individuals and collective peoples in general, known in the vernacular as ‘Whites’, we might well even see Trump posthumously turned into a full blown ‘Goldstein’ (Trumpstein?) like character, the subject of the daily ‘two minutes hate’, ‘whose agents (‘Trumpians?) are everywhere’, and who actually might even still be alive somewhere, perhaps beyond the seas, plotting and conspiring, to bring down the established order.
Don’t laugh. It was the modern so called ‘progressives’ who came up with ‘hate crime’, something straight out of 1984, after all.
Again with the absolutist, presumptive, blanket statements.
Who exactly decided that allowing for the preserving of the various people groups was a zero sum game, ie not genociding the races/ethnicities of human kind, is ipso facto the equivalent of ‘going back to pastoral/hunter gatherer ways of civilizational organization?
You, and, or, some other people perhaps, have decided that?
Or, being that you live in the Anglosphere, ie the US, you have perhaps bought into the Anglosphere’s all pervasive ‘progressive’ propaganda that any ‘modern’ state has to have ‘wage slavery’, ie the so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’ system, as it’s core defining characteristic, along with it’s accompanying ‘Multiculturalism’ and ‘anti-race’ campaign known by a euphamism as ‘anti-racism’, or, it simply can’t be modern?
The Anglosphere’s progressive Multiculturalism is a rotten, genocidal, slavery based economic and political system, which evolved straight out of chattel slavery and it’s trade.
From a financial point of view, and this has only ever been about money, the ‘immigrant’ as a wage slave (the succesor of the chattel slave) is the slave for whatever period of time (days, weeks, months, years) that he or she is paid significantly below what was (or what would of been) the prevailing real time local rates for their labor, without the immigrants being present, or the immigration taking place.
With the scourge of chattel slavery, a society might last hundreds of years demographically and culturally, before ultimately being destroyed by it. With the even more malignant and destructive wage slavery, if such were possible, the demographic and cultural survivability is reduced to mere decades.
Besides being terribly self-destructive and backwards, it all sounds rather retrograde to me, no matter how they try to positively spin it.
People were right to revolt against this genocidal wage slavery system in the Anglosphere during the 19th and early 20th century. They obviously didn’t go nearly far enough, and instead rested upon their laurels.
A mistake.
Congratulations, Mr Hack. You’re the first person I have come across who thinks as you do, who would allow for a peaceable separation. Now, if only the other 99.9 percent who think likewise with you could be so persuaded. 😉

Rarer than rabbits in the Phoenix area are squirrels. I saw one once in my backyard, during the recession in 2014 when many U-haul vans were in the neighborhood helping move the new gypsies in and out in search of greener pastures.
I’ve seen many coyotes near the Phoenix mountains, even one large one sauntering through an upscale suburban neighborhood. A friend of mine that lives in the Scottsdale neighborhood told me about having to prolong her stay in a swimming pool while waiting out a bobcat that decided to take advantage of the cool drinking waters.
For me personally, I’ll never forget the unusual sighting of a road runner in my backyard. On Thanksgiving morning one year. Never again…
Chuck Yeager…piloting well into old age (are you suggesting that I’m an old dude?)…ideas?
Quit being so cryptic. It’s hard to keep up with you! 🙂
I thought I might add, Mr Hack. I’m quite aware that the prognosis for the organic survival of most of the peoples of the world, both European and non-European, is pretty bleak at the moment.
I’m for peace and goodwill between people’s, too, just as the modern progressives claim to be. And, at one time, in their earlier incarnations, I would have been one with them.
However, as they are now and have been for some time, I believe they’ve lost their way, and despite their rhetoric, have become anti-life and anti-freedom, even anti-human.
So, I speak out against them, or, more specifically, their ideas.
As for the modern progressive’s seeming giddiness they display, at the prospect of a new world war, and their thinking at the conclusion of which that they will be on the very threshold of accomplishing their long term goals, they might want to recall:

This is pretty funny. Diddy is a pimp. Ventura is a ho. Pimps beat up the ho all the time and most especially when negro.
The judge again refused to assign bail and Diddy remains a prisoner. Because, apparently, Ventura is afraid of him and perhaps for no other reason. None of us ever would have heard of her without him which is why she chose the job to begin with and she obviously thought it was a good deal then and I bet she still thinks it is a good deal.

From the link, I wonder if the aforementioned bottle was found at the 19th century farmstead’s old outhouse? A lot of old antique bottles nowadays are found where the outhouses once were (as prior to regular trash collection) they used them as convenient dump sites for glass bottles and broken plates.
As unsavory as it sounds, by now the contents of the outhouses are inert, and some of those 150 year old bottles found buried within will on occassion still be corked and even have some of their original contents remaining.
I’m not familiar with this saying. How about this one:
OK I did omit one detail and I did not see this from any of the reports so this is as far as I know my original contribution.
See if I was Diddy’s lawyer and she was on the stand my question would definitely have been “Good grief you stupid bitch why the fuck didn’t you take the stairs?”
Merely meant you might have the ambition, given your evident interest in aeronautics – such as gifting The Magic Carpet to a fellow ballooning enthusiast.

The other day I was very tempted to follow this advice of yours during a hiking break but finally decided to keep them covered. Radiation is quite brutal right now around here. I hiked well above the timberline though, which I believe gives you comparable energizing results.
Yes on the data and no on the jargon. I posted the video with timestamp behind the MORE tag in one of my Miss Poland reports. It is the immunity episode. The relevant radiation is in the solar infrared; our mitochondria don’t work as much if they don’t get it; and clothing is transparent in that portion of the spectrum. Also applicable to any cells, not just testicle cells.
The jargon is from Clif High and the first time he said it I thought he was nuts. He is nuts but it’s good to know anyway.
The immunity episode guest had a bunch on vaccines and to every comment Huberman replied something like:
uh huh;
right;
or sure.
Whether or not Huberman has ever received one vaccination in his entire life might be a mystery.
Quite ‘an interesting story. As for my own modest needs to supplement bone marrow nutrients, a factory would be way over the top. I have two vegetarian monk friends that occasionally boil all manner of animal bones in a slow cooker for up to three days, and then invite me over to take some home. I usually doctor it up a bit and at least add in some beef or chicken broth to give it a bit more flavor. Nutritionists rave about the collagen and other nutrients that are to be found within.
It is weird, I got classified as pre-diabetic about 7 years ago and they haven’t changed it despite low to normal blood sugar in all the subsequent tests. In our local healthcare system a lot of the diabetes nurses I have seen are obese, it sort of compromises their healthy diet advice.
I just noticed that there is a Zimbabwean themed restaurant in my high street, named after a famous place in Bulawayo from Rhodesia times. (My town has <10,000 inhabitants). They do 3 courses for £5 on some days, I am also wondering if they ever have any goat on the menu. The three courses are supposed to be quite good even though the price is so low.

Evans is ranked 150 in the world so this wasn’t too tough for Djokovic. This might be his last hurrah or he might already have had his last hurrah. He has not had a really big win since the Olympics last summer.
Miss Russia and Miss Poland also advanced to round 3.

‘They will probably finish this concentration camp for 3,000 detained migrants, complete with showers, this week….Within hours of the first news reports, folks at Bluesky were calling it “Alligator Auschwitz.” We shouldn’t minimize the cruelty of a Nazi death camp. But the two have more than a little in common.’
Are those dual use showers like they had at Auschwitz for de-lousing and final-solving?
In Newslinks today they had an RT report about some Ukraine MP (what does a parliament do in the Ukraine now anyway) quoted as saying Trump “could just f**k off” and a file photo of her from a few years ago when she was hot enough to sell pictures of her tits on only-fans.
The word hurricane is not in the Nation article. What would make for great television is a hurricane storm surge tsunami over the thing and they just leave the prisoners there and not bother evacuating them.

The addition of the New Testament in Christianity does not nullify the prior core work. The New Testament would make no sense with out the Old Testament foundation.
Facts are facts.
Wow. Just wow.
Our defender of Judeo-Christianity doesn’t even know the basics of Christianity.
Yes the New Testament nullifies numerous parts of the Old Testament. It’s called the New Covenant.
Or are you banned from eating shrimp? Did ever make any animal sacrifices?
The Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah which also means they don’t recognize the Trinity. Which means they don’t recognize the same God. Similar but not the same.
Jesus as the Messiah is deeply offensive to the Jews. It posits that they are wrong and have been wrong for a few thousand years. It causes all kinds of problems for them. They are generally polite about it but do not use the term Judeo-Christian.
My cane field needs tending, Mick.
Found a few curiosities in the countryside under the roots after some trees had been toppled by a microburst, but it never occurred to me the possibility it could be from an old outhouse, rather I thought maybe a pit or natural hollow, they had been trying to fill.

Surprising to me that Zohran’s mother made a movie about an Indian woman miscegenating with a black man in 1991. I wonder where the market was for that.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Masala
Am afraid I am mostly descended from pastoralists, but thanks for pointing out your rich field, full of your blood, sweat, and tears, is ready to provide fodder for my animals!
Someone was recently talking to me about wanting to make bone soup, but they were having trouble finding good bones. Never had it myself, but I have imagined it to be very bland.
Have seen a surprising number of fat doctors.
Was recently talking with two blonde WASPish doctors and I was thinking the experience seemed really far superior and less alienating than it typically is. But the techs/receptionists were all extreme aliens from my POV, barely able to communicate, and not very competent. I don’t think there was one, who didn’t at least have some African blood.
Btw, they are saying Zohran pretended to be black, when he applied to Columbia, I guess trying to make hay out of the name “Kwame.”. But he was rejected.
Impressive economy. I think the restaurant business has been a major facilitator of migration. Was recently eating at a Chinese restaurant, and considering inflation, the price seemed remarkably low. I think only possible by importing workers, in some indenture system.
What specific point are you trying to make? Everyone knows the Russian economy is under intense pressure as part of the West’s hybrid war against Russia. The fact that Russia is surviving this pressure is surprising to many people, the fact that many sectors of her economy are suffering is not. The problem is that we expect you will only post snippets which support your theory while leaving out important context and probably avoiding entirely any snippets which contradict your theory. This is true of many untrustworthy ‘Western sources’ which are supposedly collecting data and supplying professional summaries of what is going on.
What to do? Wait and see!
The 54/60% decline does sound quite serious, but there are questions. What is the sales history over the past 10 years? What is going on with borrowing? Was there a recent bubble in Russian trucking? What is the typical life of a Russian truck? Are they funneling confiscated black market trucks in from Eastern Ukraine? What about truck tire sales, are the existing trucks being used more or less than before? What about Kamaz military vehicle sales, what is happening in that market? Are the reduced sales due to general business contraction or are they caused by low inventory and long delivery times due to parts availability or labor shortages? Have the rules changed to allow more operation of foreign-owned trucks on Russian roads, temporarily reducing the demand for new truck purchases? In 2025, what is the turnover in used trucks compared to historical numbers?
People who eat bone soup are not vegetarians. The thing to do with bones is give them to the dogs. Although they are useless to humans the dogs seem to like them very much.
The Daily Mail has an article on how to get your dog through the 4 July firecracker show. They don’t mention that you could give them a new big bone around 9:00 p. m. the night of the 4th. Right after sunset to midnight seems to be prime boom time in my zip code.

I wonder if the similarly surprising low prices in many Mexican restaurants involve drug money laundering in some form I haven’t figured out yet, in addition to having semi-captive labor?
In some places there are many “Jalisco-style” Mexican restaurants which the locals seem to associate with drug cartels from the Mexican state of Jalisco.
What, dogs are now gay, too? Fido needs to toughen up. Tie a sparkler to its tail and watch the chase! Good fun for all.
I wonder if the similarly surprising low prices in many Mexican restaurants involve drug money laundering in some form I haven’t figured out yet, in addition to having semi-captive labor?
What is the low price? Even the taco trucks around here run around $12 a person for lunch and a drink.
A lot of that Mexican food is pretty high margin. Beans and rice are practically free.
I don’t see how lousy dive bars stay in business. The neighborhood corner bar where half a dozen guys are ordering the $4 can of Busch light. You order something off the menu and they seem surprised.
I just assume a lot of them exist for some type of tax scheme or write off. There is no way that they are selling enough alcohol to pay the bills.
was confused about Mr. Hack’s monks too. I assume they must be some kind of Orthodox ascetics rather than Buddhists.

Zohran didn’t get into Columbia, even though his father is a professor there.
Just as you describe, people do keep generic private dumps out in the countryside, now and in the past, so that’s not an impossibility. On a camping trip I once came across one of these old private dumps that had a lot of bottles from the 1930’s.
The modern so called ‘progressives’ have long had a rather crude, sick, and often violent obsession with breeding out of existence most peoples by forcibly ‘mixing’ them with Blacks.
The London Times during the primordial days of the Multi-Cult in 1851 once described in an 1851 editorial the ideal slave like characteristics of the men and women they wanted to repopulate a Famine depopulated Ireland with, as being ‘more mixed’ , ‘more docile’, ‘ and ‘which can submit to a master’.
Despite the repackaging in the movie you describe, I suspect that this ‘ideal’ hasn’t changed, and is how they would like most of humanity to be characterized as in time, and not ‘just’ the Irish.
“My monks” are indeed Orthodox Christian ones. They really do practice an ascetic dietary lifestyle, eating almost exclusively vegetables and fruits, not even eating much fish either. No dairy either. The cooking and consuming of bone broth is the one exception. Nobody’s perfect, right? 🙂 I try to keep focused on what’s on my plate and not on my neighbor’s plate. I’m not ready to trade in my Thanksgiving turkey for one made from soybean products…..

In time you’ll find out how quickly and thoroughly Eurasian ethnic communities in Amerika are assimilated and deracinated.
I doubt the Balts have a lower out marriage rate than the Japanese.
The more time you spend enjoying/taking advantage of the services of Indios/Indians/Mestizos/Mulattoes etc the faster it’ll occur.
But by then it’ll be too late.
But of course, you know this already.
You’re very smart.
There is this smart idea going around that a “50% miscegenation rate” with Russians will destroy their Ethnos while the same rate with Americans, will preserve it.
The doctors and nurses at the local surgery are still mainly local, sometimes European, occasionally Africans turn up.
Some blacks seem to think I talk too slowly on the phone (no members of other human racial groups I have interacted so far with have brought this up), I remember one telephone appointment getting sidetracked onto this, where the doctor was convinced I had some underlying illness that was causing it.
In one way it’s surprising to hear a Ugandan Asian trying to present as black, there a quite a few in the UK coming from the time Idi Amin expelled them, I associate them with having strong views on Africans. But they are also known to be enterprising.
It is, am not sure how they manage it. Maybe they earn more on drinks. Thinking about it there are around a dozen restaurants and takeaways in the town and only the fish & chip shop is British run. It looks like there are ethnic specialisms, the Italian restaurants are Balkan/Albanian, Pizza and Kebab shops and Indian takeways are Pakistani or Bangladeshi, Chinese takeaways are East Asian. I think the owner of the Zimbabwean one may be British, but married to a Zimbabwean woman, I heard something like that.
Splendid pictures Mr. Hack, I hope he returns soon.
Who knows he might be having tea with Tolk again?
I hope you don’t remain too angry with Anatoly, he’s just doing what he has to, to survive.
Thank goodness you made right choice, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to post those gorgeous pics.
Technically, while it may not be “vegetarian”, I would still consider it very ascetic. Today, a lot of people would just throw out bones, or maybe give them to dogs.
You mentioned seeing a roadrunner once. I have always been fascinated by flightless birds. I once came across two grouse suddenly while walking in the woods. To my great surprise, instead of taking to wing, they took off running into the thicket, at what seemed to me, like an incredible speed. I could almost see them losing the ability to fly, if the predators vanished.
The Fate that Awaits.
Total insanity, why would anyone consider this a prize?

I made it up.
That’s funny and interesting. I wouldn’t say that there is any particular stereotype in America about blacks talking fast. Maybe, in rap, but there are the southern connections, and southerners have the stereotype of talking slow. Maybe, one of the black immigrant groups? But I can’t think of which one.
I have often wondered to what extent they were foundational to the later movement, somehow facilitating it. But it may be it is a mistake to think in those terms, when Windrush already happened, and the Mirpuris had already started to arrive.
I think another part of it is the deliveroo drivers, who are often illegals.
Interestingly, the Thais have some kind of strategic foreign policy system for monitoring the quality of their foreign restaurants. (there is an enormous number in America). It is easy to think of it in terms of prestige or soft power, but I wonder if it could be partly about remittances or something else.
LOL — Why are you quoting The Nation? Please tell us you are laughing at it…
Globalists are ridiculous people. They attempt to wield myths of victimization to misportray their foes as ‘evil’. This gains them status within their own closed circle, but pushes away the majority. (1)
There will be more to laugh at in the next few weeks. (2)
The BBB is of course imperfect. It is a work of man. Worse yet, a work of politicians. However, there is a great deal of good in it. Properly funding Remigration and border security is long overdue.

Since you are probably a disgusting pervert I am guessing you are curious what Selma Hayek had to do for Harvey Weinstein to get the movie job.
I honestly think that, if most progressives were pushed through some door, where they experienced the same country, only with 1950s demographics, there are very few who would choose to go back.
I know there are some mixing idealogues, but I view a lot of it as people pursuing self-interests, feeling that they might as well profit, if so many others are. Mix in the petty resentments and self-interests of other groups, general status signaling, institution capture. The fact that it is basically illegal to disagree, and that identity has been deliberately eroded, and cultural-ethnic values are hard to come by without a culture.
Excellent comment.
Hmmm…… It’s an interesting idea.
However, the only way to have such demographics would be unwinding the cultural-ethnic contamination of excessive migration from non-European nations. With 1950’s demographics the nation would have Judeo-Christian cultural values. Citizens would be patriotic. These are things that progressives loathe.
The higher HBD potential would also threaten progressives. There are already not enough ‘elite positions’ available for the self designated ‘morally superior’ class. Competition from a stronger HBD demographic pool would relegate many of them back to their parents’ basements.
PEACE 😇
I wander what the feed conversion ratio for the Elephant Bird was?

Under commercial conditions the ratio for ostriches has been measured at 4:1.

Your cannibal depiction above reminded me of the many portraits of Frida Kahlo with flowers in her hair. That’s all, no morality endorsement implied. I know that she is considered to be a very important artistic Mexican figure. She’s had at least one large exhibit of her work here in Phoenix, with many large advertisements dotting the landscape related to this event.
Guess that more mixing in order to get more docile slaves might have bit different meaning than now considering the context then? 19th century afterall began with very violent and successful rebellion of African slaves in Haiti, which were hardly much mixed from their original total black, mainly West African form at the time, so the practical idea might have been to avoid that everywhere else by whitening them all up in order to reduce violent nature.
Might have been very dumb, but hardly of desirable docile level with all that pointy artificial sharpened teeth tribal native customs freshly ingrained in psyche lol

Iceland has but three resources – its people, its fish, and its energy. Most Icelanders are warmer than Brits indoors in winter.
But their people, who’ve evolved in extremely harsh conditions where only the fit survived, only number 300,000 or so. So they’ve vulnerable to an influx of foreigners. It could be payback though, half of Icelandic MtDNA is from Ireland or the West Coast of Scotland.
Some of your ideas that you’ve expressed here can also be seen at play within the popular TV program “Portlandia”. Except, instead of 1950’s America the program highlights the topsy turvy world of America during the 1970’s. Portland Oregon (and to a large extent my hometown of Mpls) is the baseline of cultural expression examined in this program…woke Disneyland if you will. It appears that Portland and Mpls never were able to shed their hippie dippy cocoon, that was slowly but carefully crafted within a Scandinavian/socialist cultural milieu. If you want a glimpse of what life would have evolved into today, if not for Ronald Reagan’s cultural and political imprint on America, watch “Portlandia”
Wokeness run amok.
This is fundamental in the history of the last couple thousand years. The lame attempts to reverse it, call black white, and use “dash” for nonexistent commonality are a jump into absurdity.
There is an old saying, which way is the cat going to jump. The fundamentalist “christian” jump into J-Chr is an abandonment of Christianity. The modified form maybe started out with good intentions – Christians are generally good people – but by changing the core faith it brought in relativism and unbound “ecumenism”. Ecumenism is a meaningless everything-term, a color combining all colors to become invisible. (Gender-mania is a similar everything-term.)
Today the absurdist Christian devotees of the Old Testament are inevitably embracing its concepts, they include genocide, mass murder, and self-centered tribal ruthlessness. It is the direct opposite of Christianity, the assorted Huckabees don’t seem to be smart enough to see it. Or they do…and then what kind of humans are they?
Good observation, it helps me understand Portland…:)
Reagan gets little credit. The post-hippie Reagan-Thatcher kill-socialism and communal thinking of any kind was socially woke and had the element of migration and open borders. It was driven by the obsession with cheap labor – that’s what the “supply” in supply-side economics means – an almost unlimited labor supply.
Socially they wanted the rich to be isolated from the society and its problems: less taxes, more “freedom”, globalism, cheap servants, to be left alone. There was a libertarian angle that is basically a rich-people misanthropy. They justly suppressed the more crazy hippie-like communalism only to take the West into what is even more dysfunctional state – it has most of the hippie woke idiocies but it has also undermined the basic generational economy.
The West is in an economic dead-end. There is no way to do more of the same, the pyramid schemes are too massive, and no rational ways to change it due to solipsistic self-celebration.
I’ve seen many roadrunners within the Phoenix area and beyond. The further you are from the center of town, the more you’ll see. An interesting fact about roadrunners. They have a unique and zigzagging pattern that they exhibit when running. It’ really strange and will capture your attention, especially if done somewhere in the path of your car.
Road runners are part of the larger cuckoo bird family:
A lot of middle class folks, most surprisingly even a lot of disillusioned college age students, were attracted to these ideas too. Let’s see, “more freedom”, business promoting “globalism”, “less taxes”, what’s there not to like?

I would take issue with “ it has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine“. The destruction of NS2 (and the near-simultaneous German adoption of an anti-Russia foreign policy) definitely helped bring the tipping point closer, by severely damaging German industry and forcing chunks of it to move – to China.

Today the absurdist Christian devotees of the Old Testament are inevitably embracing its concepts, they include genocide, mass murder, and self-centered tribal ruthlessness.
Well here in America the Evangelicals have always long the Old Testament for fire and brimstone sermons. A lot of that is really from Calvinism but Evangelical has become a sort of general term for them.
It’s very pick and choose.
They can gorge on shrimp at the church buffet but then will quote Leviticus over sexual rules.
It is the direct opposite of Christianity, the assorted Huckabees don’t seem to be smart enough to see it. Or they do…and then what kind of humans are they?
It’s a form of Christianity that depends on scaring people with hell and convincing the adults they are part of the Real Christians that will be going to Zion.
There are Huckabees that view themselves as chosen Second Place people and there are also ones that cynically use it as a career. There is another group that suspects it isn’t entirely true but believes it is good for America/personal morals/etc. I suspect that is the largest group but I really don’t know. The cynical career ones will never share what is in their heads so I don’t see reason to spend too much time on motive.
But there are definitely intelligent people that are Evangelical even if it seems counter-intuitive. It can really appeal to rational Anglo men that seek a system of certainty. They are more comfortable with someone like Huckabee ranting about the flood and the wrath of God instead of a moderate Lutheran church that does a lot of singing and doesn’t dip much into the OT.
There are also overlapping politics that aren’t visible to outsiders. Some of these churches appeal to White men as a contrast to liberal culture. That is what a lot of people don’t get. They view something like the Baptist church as a bulkhead against liberalism. In their minds they are protecting their kids from gayness/trans/feminism by raising them in an Evangelical church.
I think you would be surprised by how many the men don’t even think about it during the week. They would find it odd if you started praying over your meal or read from the Bible on your own. Most people in general are fine with contradictions.
German companies are been forced to move to Amerika, according to the German-American Chamber of Commerce, around 5,600 of them have invested in the US market. that’s an investment volume of almost $650 billion (€605 billion). And it’s not only big firms like Siemens, Volkswagen, or Linde who are looking to strengthen their commitment to the United States by relocating production facilities there.
The disadvantages they see in Germany are the cost of labour, the digital infrastructure, and the diminishing human capital. However, they reserved their strongest criticism for the high energy prices compared to the United States, especially after the destruction of Nordstream.

The question is…is Selma Hayek beautiful front end real or silicone?
Cheap labor, why did you skip it? That’s the core part of neo-liberalism or libertarianism. It means open borders, globalism, oversupply of labor. The fatal decision by the elite 30-40 years ago is coming back to haunt them: there are no real societies in the West, no way forward. The replacement by new people is the default solution.
In any viable society that wants to preserve its core culture only two things matter:
– income and money for its young men – or the young in general
– can the young form families, buy houses, raise normal kids.
On both of them the current West ranks very low (for God’s sake, the insanity in North Korea ranks higher on those parameters!) It means a dead-end. It makes no difference how rich the old are, how pumped up the assets have become, the leisure and the monetized unneeded “services”, none of it makes any difference in the long run.
The boomers were bought by being largely exempted from the changes and rewarded with easy growth in their assets. Now it’s the time to pay the piper and it’s getting ugly.
Has been a while since I watched a TV show. Almost feel like Torna is subtly trying to get me to watch the 1987 miniseries Amerika, in which communists takeover America. I enjoyed the two Clavell miniseries from the ’80s (though never watched the Shogun remake). But I don’t know about Amerika, as it only got middling to poor reviews and is supposed to be very slow. (though there is the possibility that the reviewers were pinkos and biased)
There is nothing on television which can compete with Jason Jorjani’s monster raving megalomania and utter batshit insanity.
I have only gotten to the 40 minute mark. So far the interview guy has not asked Jorjani about his mother.

That’s a good way to describe what was going on with slavery, first chattel slavery, and then what it morphed into later, the even more malignant wage slavery (ie so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’).
Sort of like someone being hooked on crack, then getting hooked on the even more malignant heroine.
Most people weren’t slaving. It’s just at minimum those that weren’t have needed to separate themselves from those that were. [Or to stop the practice of slaving in perpetuity.] Neither of which has yet to happen in the Anglosphere, but needs to.
“Extremely” or “very proud” seems like strong language. There is also the possible problem of definitions of “American”, where some might see it more as a location than an identity. Still, it is an interesting divergence. The question is what does it represent or what are the consequences?
You’re starting to sound obsessively ill. You might want to check yourself.
It’s a dismal religion based on threats and on exploiting human anxiety. The original Calvinism combined it with a strange “God loves the rich” dogma. They used the term successful, but they meant the rich. Why so many in the US adopted this anti-social divine-lottery cult is hard to understand – if a criminal mafia would have its own religion it would be close to the Evangelicals…
In its defense, the moderate Christianity is deadly boring – it is about nothing with bad rituals and penetrated by strange deviants. The Evangelicals have them too. Maybe our era is not suited for Christianity or religion of any kind. In the past there was always a strong ethnic component to religion and once you take it away there is not much left and what’s left is floating in the air with no substance.
I used to think that was a valuable tool – the enemy of my enemy and all that…but the dysfunction among the Evangelicals is similar to the woke liberal nonsense. And the Evangelicals have gone bonkers, they often combine weird views and customs with aggressive militarism (now Zionism) and still use Christianity to “protect the weak, migrants, weirdos”. So what do you get? The current bad state of the West won’t be solved by ideology…

Well there is a genetic theory which is basically that the religious hardliners left Britain and Germany to form their own communities. Through America’s vast resources they were able to have large families. Their genes are still around and manifest themselves in movements like Evangelism and environmentalism.
In its defense, the moderate Christianity is deadly boring – it is about nothing with bad rituals and penetrated by strange deviants.
I’m not a fan of fire and brimstone sermons but I understand why it works. People often react more to extremes. They want to see dedication. They want to feel part of an active group that is fighting against an enemy.
The contrasting middle class Lutheran churches across America have problems with attendance. They don’t know what to do. They just aren’t attracting families.
Our Mormon church always has a packed parking lot. The Pentecostals have huge fundraisers and are spread across multiple churches. I’ll see a few dozen kids outside every Sunday.
I can see both sides. Would I rather go to a small Lutheran service than have someone like Huckabee rant at me in a megachurch? Well sure but I don’t view Huckabee as an authority figure. In fact I view him as a con artist. But there are people that assume all these pastors are “endorsed” so to speak and view a large following as a major endorsement. Kind of like how a top level ball player has a big crowd. Being with all those people at a megachurch is an affirmation and so is Huckabee ranting with an aura of authority.
I used to think that was a valuable tool – the enemy of my enemy and all that…but the dysfunction among the Evangelicals is similar to the woke liberal nonsense.
My take is that liberalism would have been fixed by now if Evangelical Christianity could do it.
I’ve also met too many extremes that were raised in an uber religious household. Women that went through some mega slut stage in college or a guy that went and got a bunch of piercings and tattoos.
It sort of works on certain personality types but can put rebellious kids on a very unhealthy path. Evangelicals of course view it as Satan making them go dyke or move to the city and play rock music. I’ve met too many people that were raised Evangelical and then wanted nothing to do with it. They become vulnerable to anti-Christian liberalism. They leave and then view liberalism as their new tribe. But liberalism is quite deceitful as it can convince them that they are the “science based” side when it is highly ideological.
I also think there is more sinning than Evangelicals let on and this of course can’t be polled. I don’t think it is controlling morality as much as they want people to believe. Specifically I think there is more cheating going on.
And the Evangelicals have gone bonkers, they often combine weird views and customs with aggressive militarism
They have definitely gone bonkers and crossed a line where I really don’t think they do anything for us anti-establishment types.
Growing up I viewed them as a sort of gang of assholes that wore ties and hated feminism. Kind of annoying but harmless. I never would have imagined that they would someday takeover the House and direct policy on Israel. If the House was filled with Catholics and Lutherans then that Iran bombing would not have happened. Trump would have feared a backlash from his own party.
The point might be that roughly just six week ago somebody out there was writing not about “many sectors suffering”, but about better than ever before RF economy with all kinds of production increasing instead;)

Here is a nice Orlov interview covering a range of topics including Ukraine and Azerbaijan. Ignore the click-bait title.
“if a criminal mafia would have its own religion it would be ______”
I’d fill in another religion, just saying.
It should be added that this shadow fleet apparently is already blocked from getting nice and acceptable insurance in the global(ist) markets, so one may wonder what was the expected outcome. Apart from a bit of a legalist twerk, I suppose.
What I’m seeing overall (not just from this) is Nato trying to provoke a tussle in the Baltic/Nordic/Arctic region. Hope the new members didn’t give away all their weapons to Ukraine!
And to the German professor, I close with: Heil, Sieg!
It’s strange, black Africans have mentioned it to me and one Afro-Caribbean woman. Apart from that thing with the doctor it came up a few times when I was working in and around call-centres and both the work force and the clientele were extremely diverse, so you would get to talk to a lot of people from different ethnic groups.
Afaik a few of them became advocates for it, I don’t think they were the main thing behind it though.
It seems to have been happening in a more piecemeal way in those early decades, partly through the imperial era legal legacy (like the Commonwealth citizenship laws), partly through responses to specific post-imperial problems (like the Ugandan Asian thing or the dam in Mirpur).
I randomly came across an old documentary where a famous British poet of the 1950s and 60s is being condemned as insular, racist, pessimistic, misanthropic etc. by members of the generation 30 years younger than him. I think you can see what would become the spirit of the post-1997 Blair era there. But also, watching that documentary now, it illustrates how facts on the ground can change faster than the dominant cultural and ideological norms. Morgoth wrote an interesting post on that recently.

This is interesting, we don’t have as many Thai restaurants. I remember that the first date I took my wife on in Britain did involve a Thai restaurant, and I discovered that she really dislikes Indian food and spicy food in general, apart from certain Chinese and Central Asian dishes. I wonder if Indian restaurants here had already cornered a lot of the spicy curry market, and that’s why the Thai ones are relatively rarer.
Yes. ISLAM is the correct answer.
This is born out by the numbers. In Europe and America Muslims form an exceedingly high % of the prison population. IIRC, Pennsylvania for every 8 Muslims in the state, 1 was incarcerated (~13%). This makes perfect sense as they view infidels as less than human prey.

Various churches in an effort to be ‘modern’ have abandoned the middle class to go full progressive. Look at the prior Pope who advanced Gaia climate change mythology above traditional values.
Why would anyone who believes in God take their children to a Godless church? The collapse in attendance is understandable.
Going with “fire and brimstone” 100% of the time is an affectation of the TV mega churches, most of whom also have declining attendance in the internet age.
____
You are misleading yourself by defining only two types of extreme endpoints when sorting churches and their parishioners.
Successful churches have an appropriate balance of sermons from the Old and New Testaments. Fire and brimstone convey and enforce shared traditional Christian values. Compassion is needed to help those among your flock that have fallen and to tolerate (but not endorse) nonbelievers who do the wrong thing from time to time.
Islamophile Globalism is worth fighting against. Look at what SJW🏳️🌈Muslim values have done here in America with DEI and BLM. Parts of cities have burned. Others are sliding towards violent lawless anarchy. The situation is even worse in Europe and Palestine. It is genuinely a battle between Good and Evil.
Consider the preamble to the Constitution — secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity
Isolationism is a disastrous choice for the future. If we stand by and let Europe and Palestine fall to the Anti-Christ Muhammad, how long before the enemy comes for us? Do you really want to leave that existential fight for survival to your children and grandchildren? Or, would you choose to take steps now to keep that danger away from your Posterity?

Pollsters have to use clear verbiage. This looks fairly typical as a pick list — Extreme, very, moderate, little, none.
As the poll requires party registration, transients for whom America is their current location should be excluded. Any American citizen who views this country as merely a location represents a problem.
I concur.
One of the things it represents is the loss of shared American values. For example, the “Iran First / America Last” crowd is quite strong here. Why do Americans passionately support Iran? Their terrorists blew up the marine barracks in Lebanon killing 240+ Americans.
As to consequences — It looks like Democrats are turning on each other. Some think the answer is becoming more extreme while others want to moderate. The DNC will be in disarray for a while until they find their way back to being American.

I saw a post on X of an idea like the “Idi Amin butterfly effect” where Idi had somehow created all these specific, influential Indian politicals in the West. I don’t know if it all checked out perfectly. But two were Braverman and Zohran.
Zohran is pretty amusing. They say his father’s people were in Uganda for 100 years without mixing outside their caste, and Idi kicked out his father, and his mother must have immigrated in the wave that I think was kind of forcefully sent back in. (Was it tied to the World Bank or foreign aid or something?). Then you have his mother calling him a “Ugandan” to stakehold Indian interests there, even though he left at the age of five. (does she own property there?). And then he was apparently claiming to be black or an “African-American” or something on his college application, even though Idi kicked out his father. But his mother gave him “Kwame ” as one of his names. (or maybe that could be fake?). and his mother made a miscegenation film starring Denzel Washington in which the Euros are waiters.
I have only eaten at one once. I may be the wrong person to judge, as I like plain food, but I didn’t enjoy it. The MSG seemed too strong. A lot of it seemed to me like it had been pulled from a freezer. But apparently, they have someone in their trade centers or consulate who goes around evaluating them all. I wonder if they get loans too.
But I am not sure if the one I went to had the badge of approval. I did a quick check of their website, and I didn’t notice anything.
I always thought it was interesting how blacks and Indians suddenly seem to show up in British films, at some point. Before that point, there can be films with huge crowds and you don’t see one. But after that point, it is almost like the filmakers were given marching orders. I mean, if I were making a film in the UK in 1970, I don’t think I would go out of my way to put a black in it, but it seems like they did.
Sure, I agree. I think the uniting glue of shared mythology is being dissolved. A shared identity with everyone based merely on location seems untenable.
It is easy to ahbor the act. But I think motivations also play into it. It is obvious they did it because the US was involved in the Middle East. Under Carter, the US even killed Iranian civilians, when they blew up a bus that had seen the landings of helicopters in the failed attempt to rescue the hostages.
Why should the US be involved in the Middle East? Israel didn’t even send troops into Iraq, though they heavily lobbied for the invasion and were arguably responsible for it.
There seems to be no good answer for why the US should be in the Middle East. No tangible benefit for Americans. In fact, a lot of Middle Easterners are here because the government facilitated their arrival as part of our involvement there.
Send them all back! But get us out of there, I say.
It’s too late now…
I’ve only watched 1-2 episodes of Portlandia, it’s totally bizarre. TV is usually background noise these days for me. Lots of housecleaning and perhaps a remodeling project or two on my agenda…
So, I take it that you’ll probably not be attending Jimmy Swaggart’s funeral? Even Joel Osteen seems to be undergoing hard times lately. The only one that I ever really liked/respected was Billy Graham. Watching him with my parents on TV as a teenager would often result in a tear swelling up in my eye. The more jet planes that these guys owned, the less I found them to be believable.
Just don’t forget about urgent reciprocation needs in Caspian too;)

At the two hour 56 mark of the Jason Jorjani interview they end his interview and proceed to the audience question segment.
At the two hour 0 mark he calls Donald the Fat a megalomaniac.
Somewhere in there he said the “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” bit was the public presentation. Behind the scenes the Americans were cutting off a coup which was for sure going to work with a paltry few thousand dead Muslim fanatics and the plan was proceeding so swell the Iranian patriots might not have even gotten their clothes dirty.
The whole show was so fascinating I only had to pause and go do something interesting 15 or 16 times. So far. I haven’t gotten past the 2:56:00 yet.
There is a great deal of oil in the Middle East. We used to import a great deal of it to the U.S. If the unhinged “green” movement gets its way we might have to again. Our allies are dependent on hydrocarbon imports.
The Suez Canal is another strategic choke point. It is vital to global commerce. Imagine the choke hold China would have on the planet if Egypt fell to CCP proxies. The Muslim Terrorist Brotherhood is another obvious threat.
Turkey is a member of NATO. Are you proposing tossing them out as part of ME disengagement?
There are places that are best walked away from. For example, Afghanistan. However, there is far too much at stake in global resources, economics, and geopolitics to abandon the Middle East. Isolationism would be correctly seen as national weakness by every ME nation.
PEACE 😇
The proper way to do it is after the war is over. It serves no purpose to rush it, the West does it because they are mostly into symbolism. In reality individuals come and go, different names, fates…what matters is who achieves their goals and gets the “stuff”…:)
BlackRock has just finally ended looking for investors for the Ukraine fund. There haven’t been any for months and many were pulling out. So they made it official. It’s the money-community announcing they are done with the Ukraine Project. Will they write off the losses and move on or blow up the place on so Russia gets less? B-Rock rules…always follow the money (=asset ownership)…
There seems to be no question of ME wanting to sell hydro-c to Europe. I don’t think US troops or Israel are specifically needed for that.
Anyway, Europe should pursue its own energy interests. It is probably unhealthy to rely on the US too much. We have seen what it does to German industry, in combination with the Greens. Possibly, this vassal relationship allowed them to subsidize more migration into Europe. They might be forced to have more favorable views of nuclear without the US.
I am not sure I see either group as interested in interrupting trade. A lot of Chinese trade passes through the canal. In the unlikely event they sought control, I think it would be easy to supply an insurgency.
honestly, I don’t see the purpose of NATO. Seems like a relict of the Cold War, when the USSR seemed a big threat. What is the purpose of being a military ally of Turkey? To sell them arms? To keep Russian warships out of the Med?
You know that there was a popular novel in Turkey where they were fighting America? And Erdogan seems to want to flood the EU with Turks?
Well, they seem somewhat fractious and not necessarily the most competent militarily, but I think they would likely be disuaded from invading the US by the distance and nuclear triad.
For all of you folks that might be aggro that the world’s greatest sex criminal since Jeffrey Epstein is going to walk with a slap on the wrist right after the sentencing proceedings we have a reminder the world has serious problems and energetic solvers of them.

Isolationism shares a key weakness with libertarianism. It may look good on paper, but it fails in practice. Isolationism could only work if everyone is isolationist. In the real world, the contest is isolationism versus expansionism. Expansionism will win almost every time.
Our economy depends on selling to global markets. Even though we are energy independent, there are other raw materials we import from overseas. America needs Populist engagement with allies and access to markets. At the same time we must avoid the contamination of multiculturalism, mass immigration, and progressive corporatism.
China is in full colonial mode. If America goes into cowardly isolationist retreat that simply rolls out the red carpet for them. And, they do not like us very much. Look at our current problems with rare earth elements where the CCP used government activism to corner the industry.
How did 1938 appeasement with “Peace for our time” work out for isolationist Neville Chamberlain? Hint: It went badly.
The lesson of history is clear. America cannot capitulate with weak isolationism when there are expansionary powers on the prowl.
PEACE 😇
One thing I forgot to include in the Jorjani report. He hates all Palestinians, eagerly anticipates their off-finishing, and claims to speak for all Iran in this detail. Not that I am any better. I laughed at your correction.
That’s unfortunately the reality that we all have to accept. I agree the very existence of the Evangelical bugaboo makes the situation much worse: the fundies are softies in practise with very liberal reactions that conflict with their rhetoric. They are run by a bunch of obvious hustlers who seem to see it as a “job” or even worse a “business” – in that way Donald fits right in.
The genetic component is definitely a part of it – getting on a boat to cross the Atlantic up to the mid-19th century was a mad choice for any sane person. The discomfort by itself would discourage any level-headed person who wasn’t running away or wasn’t insanely greedy. Thinking that God’s grace is shown by one’s success (riches) would be a nice complement to keep those kinds of people going.
Those traditions dominate in continental Europe (including mine) and the politicians here have not exactly acted that way. Merz said “Israel is doing our dirty work!“, the Pope stayed silent, and Macron offered to send Frenchies to join in the war – but Macron does that in any crisis and nobody takes him seriously. It’s unfortunately much deeper, the modern Christianity is not really Christian and it looks irreversible.
I think India is the biggest colonial power of the day. The government there seems to actively encourage mass-scale emigration, for its economic and political benefit.
IMO, China is a distraction. It is not clear how they benefit from building infrastructure in the Third World, and having countries default. How is it different from Soviet or past American projects?
It is reasonable to try prevent a Chinese monopoly on rare earths, but that is mainly domestic economic policy, not military-based geostrategy.
Chamberlain gets a bad rap. He was just reflecting popular will, at the time. Not to mention, it is pretty questionable that Germany actually wanted war with Britain – they did make peace proposals – or how WW2 benefited Britain. It is in a pretty sorry state now, despite “winning.”
Am not aware of any land China wants to annex other than Taiwan. Do you think we should fight WW3 over the woke, remnant outpost of the Chinese civil war that ended 75+years ago?

A123, I see discussions that Trump is planning to give amnesty for large numbers of illegal aliens in the low-wage work force. Will these invaders become citizens? What is the MAGA explanation?
Why not lower taxes for the relevant industries and have a five year penalty (no tax break) for businesses if they hire ANY illegal workers? Policy to be implemented by December 2025.
In my scheme, the long-term plan is to permanently lower taxes but in the short-run Federal tax policy can be used to promote aggressive deportation in the face of lobbyist whining and NGO hijinks.
There is an old axiom that applies.
“Si vis pacem, para bellum.”
“If you want peace, prepare for war.”
China wants everything it can grab. In addition to Taiwan it has the 9 Dash Line stealing territorial waters from many of its neighbors. Chinese ships routinely harass those from the Philippines.
If you let China annex Taiwan, will you as an act of isolationist weakness give them the Philippines? Then South Korea? Then Japan? How about Guam, its only a territory, right? Give up Hawaii too perhaps? Then surrender Alaska for the glory of isolationism and cowardice? How much land can they buy in the only 48 remaining states before you concede those too?
Isolationist capitulation cannot hold. As an open admission of weakness it is guaranteed to make things worse. Some geo-strategic opponents only recognize strength.
Right now the CCP has strong insight on where the red lines are. They cannot mug industrial powers, such as Taiwan and its chip industry crucial to the global economy. They can go to undeveloped parts of central Asia and Africa with only token complaints. Upsetting that understanding with fearful isolationism could easily start the war that concerns you so much.
I’ll cut you deal. When every other country on the planet totally commits to verifiable isolationism, America will be the last one to join. We also get to be among the first ones out if it does not work. Or, are you suggesting a blatantly hypocritical double standard — America has to be more cowardly than other nations?

There is no MAGA explanation. Base reaction to the idea was immediate, large, and very negative. Any broad move to undermine workers and wages would be a disaster. Such an amnesty exceeds execuitive authority, and a bill could never pass the House and Senate.
Hopefully, it was non-serious talk put forth to placate individuals needed to get the BBB through Congress. If so, it should quietly vanish with no action.

Sinking islands or not, seems more sensible than annexing Puerto Rico. (Though hindsight is 20/20)
My solution would be to give Japan nukes.
I am against foreign ownership of land.
That may be a problem because the industrial base of the US has been seriously eroded and compromised by DIE politics. We can’t spit out the drones and missiles and ships they can.
I think it would take a lot of courage to face the internal problems of the US, like the debt and DIE, and open borders, before it is too late.
Good for Poland. Poland obliterated the United States today in the Battle of the Nations. The stands had more people for Andreeva than for Swiatek. London has been invaded by foreigners who don’t hate Russia.
That’s unfortunately the reality that we all have to accept. I agree the very existence of the Evangelical bugaboo makes the situation much worse: the fundies are softies in practise with very liberal reactions that conflict with their rhetoric. They are run by a bunch of obvious hustlers who seem to see it as a “job” or even worse a “business” – in that way Donald fits right in.
I have been around Evangelicals and I think they are more resistant to change than liberals.
College educated liberal men are more impressionable than one might assume. Once the women aren’t in the room they will admit that a lot of it doesn’t add up. After a couple beers they are pretty open to new ideas. In fact I would say that a surprising amount yearn for some type of out. They don’t want to be conservative but also don’t want to be part of what is really a secular religion that tries to subdue White men. They don’t know what to do and sort of default to liberalism as the White urban way. But even White liberal men get sick of having their balls in a purse.
Those traditions dominate in continental Europe (including mine) and the politicians here have not exactly acted that way.
Well in the US our Catholics and Lutherans don’t rush to fund Israel like our Evangelicals. I wouldn’t call them America First but they opposed Johnson’s aid proposals numerous times.
Our urban White Catholics can be quite reasonable. They are often White and aware of race. A lot of our Catholics have relatives that were chased to the burbs. They don’t believe that the OT is 100% historically accurate. In fact I would say that in some areas being White urban Catholic is more of a social club. That’s also true for Episcopalians. Knowing Episcopalians is a good way to boost your income if you live near a city.
Now of course this was not always the case. I do hate Kenney type Catholics but that period was an exercise in race denial. Most Catholic Poles and Irish do not believe that LBJ type programs will fix racial inequality.
It’s unfortunately much deeper, the modern Christianity is not really Christian and it looks irreversible.
The more time I have spent around Evangelicals the more I believe it isn’t working and is more destructive than positive.
What you might not see from Europe is that the Evangelical churches have these single and very obese White women. Every church has at least 5 or 6 of them. They have food/tv addiction and they are just sort of kept in a corner. Then comes the church buffet and there are piles of cookies and pies. So the churches really aren’t even thinking about how to improve their own flock.
The men can be callous towards the poor and just want Hannity to tell them it is all the fault of godless liberals. When it comes to media they are just as “of the world” as anyone else. You can see this in the TV ratings of Christian areas.
I had to work with Evangelicals and they would get annoyed that I didn’t watch much television. I wasn’t able to do the water cooler talks about how some character got brutally murdered. Every single day they would have an HBO show to discuss. But if I said that I had a beer with my wife on a Sunday then I would get a look of disdain. They viewed their wives as annoyances that blocked their path to the television. They viewed me as a weirdo for not watching television and only tolerated me because I wasn’t a liberal. I really think they viewed hanging out with your wife as kind of gay. Anyways I concluded that these people are a contradictory mess and should not be in politics. That they viewed themselves as “more Christian” than the mainstream was an ongoing absurdity.
So what is known about USAF General “Grynch,” the latest “Supreme Commander” Europe? Apparently he is a pro-Kiev hawk with Belarussian ancestry. (Grynkewich)
I think we have reached the “agree to disagree” point.
We both concur that historically the U.S. has done too much. For example, Afghanistan. The USSR accomplished nothing. America used some of its footprint to find and take action against Osama bin Laden. Beyond that nothing was gained. Team Biden’s failed withdrawal led by Gen. SJW Milley was a national embarrassment.
At some level, I empathize with your position. In a “fair & just” world, America would be able to enthusiastically pull back. Alas, the reality is that global geopolitics are neither fair nor just.
Iranian leaders have been screaming “Death to America” everyday for 40+ years. They kidnapped Americans at our embassy. The Iranian government murdered hundreds of marines in Lebanon. As Muslim revolutionaries, they hate us for being predominantly Christian. Iranian operatives have been caught infiltrating America via the Mexican border. There is no isolationist theory that will stop that already existing visceral loathing.
Neither extreme is helpful:
• Leftoid failures such as “color revolutions” must stop.
• Isolationist capitulation will be taken as cowardly weakness.
What America and the planet needs is the balance of Judeo-Christian Populism.
Disengaging from Europe’s Folly in Ukraine is good place to start. There is no upside from continuing Kiev aggression against Russian ethnics. We can rebuild relationships with Russia that could solve problems and share natural resource projects.

Disengaging from Europe’s Folly in Ukraine is good place to start. There is no upside from continuing Kiev aggression against Russian ethnics.
When Putin launches his drones and cruise missiles against Kiev he can’t avoid killing Russian ethnics, correct?
Is Putin wrong to target civilian areas? What is your Judeo-Christian take on Putin’s constant attacks on downtown Kiev?
This was a crowd of students during a revolution. It involved a certain level of intrinsic instability, partly related to an age pyramid structure. Iran’s demographics are different today.
The US should have closed have closed the embassy. There were plenty of warning signs.
It was a military target. Not 9/11. They are not Sunnis.
Who in Donald the Fat’s crew is going to step up and say that Muslim mayor candidate should be deported back to Uganda? There is no way they cannot document a terrorist sympathizer complaint. The man has been talking shit on the internet as long as he has been able to type.
Bombing civilian enclaves with missiles in Kyiv (and elsewhere) is Putler’s way of fighting Ukraine’s “war of aggression” according to this blog’s glue sniffing kremlin stooge. By supporting Putler and his war in Ukraine, kremlingtoogeA123 shares in the civilian blood dripping from Putler’s hands.
The “Judeo-Christian” movement needs to find a more believable spokesperson.
I think America might need its own Sadiq.
But it would be funny if Zohran was deported to South Africa, and from there to Uganda, and from there to India, and then Pakistan.
A123 should watch the Tucker interview with Khamenei. (I have not seen it.)
It is hard to find a watchable TV show.
I find that most TV seems to be dumber than movies, so it is not worth the effort to watch something with subtitles. A surprising amount of foreign shows are woke too. And I can’t really stand modern American TV.
I think the last American show I watched a little of was the Mandalorian and such was the burden of racial politics that they literally wrote a show around a guy not showing his face, and retconned the group he belonged to into some alien interspecies religion, where everyone wears masks all the time. And the only baby is the alien Yoda look-a-like.
A lot of TV now has interconnected storyline like a soap opera. And tends to go for the mysterious mystery plot. If there is a romance, it is almost always interracial.
So I think movies, or youtube content is more appealing.
Please tell me that you are not that naive. It was a less than credible cover story.
If it was only students, the government could have fixed the problem in a week, two tops. The fact that the situation lasted 444 days shows that the action was approved by the very top.
Perhaps American “students” should capture the Iranian mission to the UN? Then, Trump can say that there is nothing he can do because they are “students”. After that, the U.S. government will fully protect the “students” by killing any Iranian attempt at a rescue. Of course the “students” will be provided food and anything else they need for over a year. After all they are just misguided “students”.
That sounds totally 100% absolutely unquestioningly believable. Right?
Thank you for admitting that the U.S. strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were fully justified. They were military targets.

Says Northern Ireland style troubles in England within a generation.
The new model for shows has made things very problematic. In the old network days, a pilot episode was commissioned before an entire season was approved. Now an entire season, sometimes 2 or more, are bought in advance.
Another problem is linked to government subsidy programs. If the studio does not release the show, they never get that money. This is wise from an anti-fraud standpoint. However, it incentivizes studios to show things that would have been quietly killed in prior years.
Disney’s latest flop Ironheart has both of these problems. IIRC, it finished filming in 2022. The entire season was bought in advance for a ridiculous sum $150-200 million. They finally dumped it on Disney+ to receive ~$20 million in tax credits. Pushing it out over two weeks in the run up to the Fantastic Four movie is an unsubtle attempt to bury it, ignored or quickly forgotten.
How long can firms continue to lose money on these projects?
They need to get production budgets back under control. A $200 million movie needs at least $500 million in box office to break even. Theaters get 50% of the take and marketing is not included in the production budget. Fantastic Four ($275MM+) and James Gunn’s Superman ($225MM+) are potential business failures because they spent so much on them.
PEACE 😇
The Iranian government often sent men to clear out protestors who invaded the embassy grounds. When it was seized successfully, it was a fiat accompli, which seemed popular, and they got behind it. (admittedly somewhat stupidly)
But I think they were looking to hand them back, it was just difficult to do in a way that saved face, especially after Carter launched Eagle Claw. They had to wait for Reagan to be sworn in.
American students should shut down all UN operations in America, but they won’t because they are controlled by wokes.
I am not justifying military strikes, just saying they are a horse of a different color from targeting civilians.
am not endorsing the current system, but I don’t know that the pilot model was that great. If you ever look at some of those forgotten shows that were cancelled on YouTube, it seems like a lot of them were really bad. I don’t think there was enough pre-selection, before production. And IIRC, the networks over the span of years spent billions producing pilots that never went into production and shows that were cancelled during sweeps.
It seems like a horrible waste of money, into a cultural blackhole, especially if you compare it to the tight budgeting of certain Japanese productions I have seen like Godzilla Minus One or things that were even much cheaper than that.
I forget exactly, but I think they might have a tranny character in that. And the new Pixar film was conceived as gay messaging to kids.
I think it is obvious that the wokeification of the studios is a really big problem. Likely, largely due to civil rights legislation. What might be a significant improvement is if there were exemptions for medium-sized companies, which could become competitors of the legacy studios.
Sadly, I’ll have to agree with your assessment of current American TV faire. I’ve recently found an interesting Turkish historical series on Youtube, “Payitaht: Abdülhamid” The series depicts the historical period centered around Sultan Abdul Hamid II’s reign, during the late 19th century. Great historical buildings and backdrops, good writing and acting make the series quite watchable so far. I’m watching the 10th installment tonight, there are over 150, as it was a TV series in Turkey for five seasons. The turpentine plot is filled with fine examples of palace intrigue, betrayal and courtly romance too (nothing gay, so far), filled with beautiful exotic women. Give it a spin, the price of admission is free…
Someone once recommended me a Turkish show about a sultan, but I think it must have been one about Suleiman the Magnificient. (could be wrong, but I think it must have had Roxelana in it). Come to think of it, I think it may have been two people who separately recommended it, but I was too intimidated by the episode count.
I do not know why the American press can’t keep up with those homos in London but this is great again.

Mo better, Bro:
They are slowly figuring out the “Go Woke, Go Broke!” problem. The recent Pixar movie Elio was scrubbed to sharply reduce the queer message. But that is not enough. The film primarily failed because it was bad. This comment sums up the problem
In order to have a “diverse” workforce they got rid of the talent that made the prior generation of productions successful. The studios have to find the will to return to merit as the standard. After that occurs, it will take them years to cultivate new cadre.

Years ago, I began watching the old anime Legend of Galactic Heroes because I heard it wasn’t woke.
The show definitely has its flaws, but it is also interesting because it talks about corruption and decay of civilization, in a way I have never seen. (Really some of it would be too taboo for Hollywood.)
But it is 110 episodes, which is quite a slog, and I only made it about half way through.
I feel like I must have seen all the good parts already. But I may still try to finish it one day.
I think that the longest TV series that I’ve ever watched, and that I enjoyed, was “I Claudius” (we’ve discussed this one). Generally, I don’t go out of my way looking for long slogfests…If I’m still engaged in watching this Turkish thriller after the 20th installment, I’ll give you an update. 130 would be left to view…
Compare what the viewers said after the end of “I Claudius” and what they were saying at the end of Game of Thrones.

Actually, you are wrong, Putin is hesitant to destroy Ukraine. “…civilian blood dripping from Zelensky’s hands”, who morphed into a travelling terrorist.
Ukraine cannot win against the Russia militarily. Ukrainians started it in 2014 by killing ethnic Russians in Donbas with a glee…now they are dying for the terrorist gang in Kiev to stay in power. Is living in neutrality so bad, look at Switzerland or Austria.
The problem is that after 1945 Stalin rounded up all the Ukrainian nazis and sent them to Gulag for treason. In 1954, a fat peasant gave these butchers amnesty – big mistake. Unfortunately their off-springs kept the nazi culture in Ukraine to these days.

Why did he launch 539 drones at Kiev the other day?
You would call that being hesitant?
Couldn’t he aim those drones at military targets?
There are probably numerous credible military targets in Kiev, though apparently fewer each week. This video showed a few active air defense sites.

I was reading something about Turkish dramas, and it seems like they have some crazy production schedule, like 35-40 episodes per year, and a lot of episodes are really long, like 120-180 minutes. That is longer than the movie I began watching last night and didn’t finish!
They supposedly cancel half the shows before the 13th episode. And produce 70 dramas/year.

There are probably numerous credible military targets in Kiev, though apparently fewer each week. This video showed a few active air defense sites.
So you believe there were over 500 military targets in downtown Kiev?
What types of targets would those be?
Was Trump wrong to criticize Putin’s attacks on Kiev?
I believe a contemporary attack of this sort includes a lot of expendable drones for jamming and distraction which are not expected to get through and some extra missiles as well. For 50 targets do they need to launch 500 weapons? The latest strike used a large barrage. Maybe the Russians have reached the point where they want the power brokers in Kiev to face up to the downside of their misguided partnership with the West sooner rather than later?
Possible military targets in Kiev might include command centers, training sites, communications centers, foreign military installations, air defense sites, weapons production sites, fuel depots and troll farms ( 😉 ) [AKA psyop centers]. I am sure there are other targets which are solely military plus many which are dual-use with civilian and military relevance. Naturally if 500 weapons are launched and hypothetically 100 get through (2 per target) that implies 400 did not make it through and probably fell directly onto the city after being intercepted. If these are small drones the destruction may be moderate. If the downed weapons have full size warheads then major collateral damage and many deaths may occur.
Trump is obviously wrong to criticize Russia’s attacks on Kiev. The entire mess is entirely a Western creation which foolishly risks escalation to World War Three. Trump did not improve this crisis in his first administration. I do not know if he actually supports this anti-Russia project or is simply not strong enough to stop it.

I once spent a memorable 24 hrs “sightseeing” within Mexico city, mostly via their extended subway system. After spending some time trying to sleep on plastic chairs and even on the concrete floors within the large airport, I decided to try and take advantage of the situation and go see some of the sights before my connecting plane would whisk me to my final destination of Costa Rica. I hopped on board and made my way through many interesting urban landscapes to the Museum Archeologia (a must see for anybody visiting Mexico City). The museum was actually one of many located in this rather upscale neighborhood, including their world class zoo too. The route included traversing through some tunnels as well as some street side portions too, where I got glimpses of some neighborhoods that I would never venture to visit, if possible, ever during my liftime. To state that I felt like a sardine packed in the proverbial can would help explain how I felt. Actually nobody bothered me and it was quite an interesting and exhilarating experience. If I had to do it all over again, I would plan things out a little bit better. 🙂
With approximately 30 million people living within Mexico city, the subway system can get a bit packed and busy at times:
There are at least 50k targets in Kiev. In an attrition war everything is ‘military’. Do you recall how US-NATO fought its wars? 10,000’s of victims and everything blown up. Kiev enthusiastically supported it and wanted to join in. What is good for the goose is good for the gander…

Why would you talk of Odessa when Russia hasn’t taking Kherson?
Kherson is 30 minutes from the Russian border and still in Ukrainian hands. Or are you hoping that Russia tries a Gallipoli on live television? Odessa never had a separatist movement which means Russia would be trying to take a hostile port city. Historically that is very risky and a D-Day type attack would be near impossible to keep secret. A swarm of sea drones could making the landing ships sink before they arrive. Or Ukraine lets them show up and a dozen machine guns fill the water with blood…..now livestreamed!
You also didn’t explain you claim of Putin being hesitant in the context of civilian casualties even though he has been launching hundreds Iranian drones at downtown Kiev. Are those attacks on civilians (including ethnic Russians) or do you just avoid the subject?

SMO’s are driven by STRATEGY. There are huge strategic gains from liberating Odessa.
• Kiev regime forces become landlocked, substantially reducing options for resupply.
• It enables support to Transnistria for further resistance against IslamoGloboHomo aggression.

Not sure why you use the term SMO when Putin repeatedly breaks his own law and calls it a war.

Supplying Ukraine is easy. Supplies go to Germany and then through Poland. Putin can’t do a damn thing about it.
There is this fabulous invention called the train. A single modern train can pull 12,250 tons. A single 155 shell weights 95 pounds. That means a single train can easy pull in a year’s supply of ammo.
This isn’t a 17th century European war where ship supplies are everything.
I also would like you to explain how violently taking Odessa would be a liberation when they overwhelmingly voted for Zelensky over pro-Russian candidates and did not have a Russian separatist movement. Do you believe that most of the citizens of Odessa want to join Russia?
It enables support to Transnistria for further resistance against IslamoGloboHomo aggression.

Read Project Hail Mary by Weir.
I was actually kind of chuckling lightly at a few of the politically correct parts. (or politically incorrect, depending on your perspective.). (a few spoilers)
The funniest one for me was about midway through: he introduces two scientists who are candidates to go on the save-the-Earth mission. One of them is named DuBois (like WEB DuBois) and he seems very formal and polite and intelligent and I am paraphrasing here, but Weir says “And BTW, he’s black!”. (And I am thinking “Oh, it is going to be like that…”. Then he introduces a super-brilliant female scientist by coincidence named Shapiro. (And I am thinking, “And like that!”)
But then he does the most unexpected thing: he puts them into a vulgar sexual relationship. And then conveniently kills them both in an accident, before either can go on the mission.
I consider Weir to be be slightly woke, but I only read The Martian. In the movie they added some brilliant black genius who briefly appears to figure out some emergency orbital move by doing the math. Pretty prototypical Hollywood scene.
There are also a few other slightly comedic moments.
In another funny one the alien who is superb at math (the species not having computers but being able to navigate space) and who has a perfect eidetic memory for learning English, wonders why they and the humans are equally intelligent, when it comes to solving problems. And together they theorize it has something to do with only needing to be intelligent enough to evade predators. (so homo erectus was equally intelligent?)
And there were a few more minor ones.
Anatoliy Golitsyn is widely acknowledged to have been to a high degree the most accurate of all Soviet defectors to the United States in his political analysis and geopolitical forecasts.
Golitsyn in his 1984 book New Lies for Old, which made the wild (for the time) claim that the world may soon see the fall of the Berlin Wall, also alleged in this book that the ‘Sino-Soviet split’ of 1961-1989 was not real, that it was in fact an act of strategic deception on the part of the Soviet Union and Red China, that China and Russia were employing ‘the scissors strategy’, ie that they were playing ‘good cop’/’bad cop’ for the world, the purpose of this false split between them being to lull the Capitalist states into a false sense of security while the Commjnist states built up their strength.
Golitsyn alleged further that once the Soviet Union and China had built up an overwhelming strength, that there would then perhaps be a ‘reconciliation’, to be followed by a new strategy for Russia and China of ‘one clenched fist’.
If true, this begs the question, did perhaps the Capitalist United States and United Kingdom do the very same thing for the very same reason of lulling the world into a false sense of security?
That is, under cover of the 1776 American Revolution the US and UK engaged in a strategic false split, played ‘good cop/bad cop’ during the 19th century as between them they built up a near overwhelming strength, have a ‘reconciliation’ with the forming of the ‘special relationship’ circa 1900, and since that time been ‘one clenched fist’, as has manifested in two world wars and now, an impending WWIII?
And, if so, were Communist China and Russia, consciously or unconconsciously, simply reacting to what the Capitalist United States and United Kingdom had first been doing themselves?
Perhaps wholly unbeknownst to Trump, and on the eve of a likely impending WWIII, are the United States and United Kingdom engaging in a (momentary, in the overall scheme of things) strategic false split at this very second?
https://archive.org/details/NewLiesForOld/page/n355/mode/1up
‘Before long, the communist strategists might be persuaded that the balance had swung irreversibly in their favor. In that event they might well decide on a Sino-Soviet “reconciliation.” The scissors strategy would give way to the strategy of “one clenched fist.”

Do you know what rail gauge is? The physical distance between the rails.

• Poland uses European “standard” 1,435 mm gauge

How important is 85 mm? Vastly more than the layman intuitively expects.
Converting a non-powered car from 1,435 mm to 1,520 mm is expensive and takes weeks. Modern electronics and control systems on engines have built in assumptions that will not mesh with changing geometry.

Yes and they are easy to fix. That is why both sides rarely target them.
You seem to be watching too many WW2 movies where saboteurs caused chaos for the Germans as they headed East. That was in huge sections where German military trains were obvious.
That strategy isn’t going to work for Russia and they already would have used rockets against the rails instead of against downtown Kiev.

What evidence do you have that military aid is going through Odessa? Going to the Black sea means going through Istanbul. That means a possible inspection by the Turks. Which could simply leak to Russia and then they hit the freighter as it enters. Makes more sense to hide the weapons in the thousands upon thousands of train cars that already deliver goods from Poland.
Kiev aggression is limited to the diminishing inventory of “broad” engines and cars it has on hand.

To clarify a bit in regards to the KGB defector Golitsyn and his 1984 book allegations, he believed that the Communists would, to lull the West, engage in a massive false liberalization campaign, to include: the fall of the Berlin Wall, the establishment of faux multi-party democracies in ‘former’ Communist states, even allowing ‘faux’ nationalist parties.
In 1995 he would elaborate on these claims with his publishing of:
The Perestroika Deception: The World’s Slide Towards the Second October Revolution [WeltOktober]
https://archive.org/details/golitsyn-anatoliy-perestroika-deception-1998/mode/1up
It all might sound pretty far fetched until one recalls ‘Operation Trust’, and observations by more than one sensible person that the United States and much of Western Europe may well be on the cusp of a [Communist?] revolution.
However, Capitalists can be quite deceitful too.
Is there a larger picture involved here, where, whether it be Capitalist or Communist, all roads seem to lead back to London? It was London after all where both the defacto Capitalist manifesto (ie Smith’s Wealth of Nations in 1776) and Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto in 1848, were first published.
That perhaps neither Capitalism nor Communism are to ultimately prevail, but are intended to synthesize into something like maybe what China has today, but on a global scale?

Russia has left the trains alone for the same reason she has avoided striking much of the rest of the critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Destroying the rail system could indirectly cause a lot of human suffering. Russia may also want to leave much of the rail network intact so civilians have a means of fleeing should the fighting come to them. However, the Russian battle plan may be changing. If the West continues to bring war material into the country and uses civilians as shields, Russia may accept greater losses of Ukrainian non-combatants.
Rebuilding after rail strikes is easy except for bridges and electric power stations. In a drone war the natural tactic is to damage some target and then kill the repair crews sent to fix the problem. After a few rounds repairs probably slow down a lot.
The Russian war plan seems mostly unchanged for several years. They are methodically destroying the AFU while destroying NATO hardware and mercenaries in the country. The Kremlin is also working on denazification of the country by killing Azov members on the battlefield. They are gradually increasing protection for Russian-speakers in the East.
I wonder if the current Russian plan is to get one of the cities (or oblasts) east of the river to voluntarily capitulate, creating a more complex civil war within Ukraine while weakening the regime in Kiev?
Why is this complicated? The Kremlin is gradually turning up the heat.
Civilian casualties still seem far below what is expected for such heavy urban combat. What are the numbers for civilian casualties after the latest strikes in Kiev? Do you think the Kiev regime will give an accurate count or will they low ball or inflate the tally? There have been many large Russian strikes in the past couple of years where civilian casualties were low (a handful of deaths). During much of this time it seemed Kiev would inflate the numbers if anything, implying the Russians were using care to avoid killing civilians. Now that Ukraine is back on its heals the leadership might actually understate the casualty figures to avoid promotion of capitulation.
Are you sure that you haven’t somehow gotten this idea from deep in your subconscious from some old Man from U.N.C.L.E. episode? Perhaps it was from the episode entitled “Operation Thrush” and not “Operation Trust”? You’re right, it all sounds a bit far fetched! 🙂
Any civilian casualties are too many. The last strikes have even incurred the ire of Captain Cheeto, who vows to send more defensive weapons to Kyiv. He seems genuinely pissed off at Putler’s uncooperative stance and states that he (Putler) needs to “stop the killing”.
Ukraine doesn’t have the human resources to win the war and NATO will never risk its own men. So this is over, they may as well keep the trains running.
Wars between the West and its adversaries follow the same pattern: initial, massive attack designed to overwhelm. If it succeeds the West quickly consolidates, puts its people in charge, celebrates wildly. Lately it has led to chaos and not winning.
If it fails the West huffs and puffs, threatens to go crazy, tries to make the other side suffer and bleed – but eventually the West gives up, goes home and pretends not much has happened. They are too advanced to win by attrition. It was repeated from Vietnam to Iraq-Afghanistan. If China moves on Taiwan – it’s legally China – it would end the same way.
The Ukie war follows the second pattern – NATO tried everything it had, pushed hard, threatened. Russia held and now we are in the unravelling. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, NATO will eventually abandon Ukraine. Euros rather surprisingly decided to be the top-guys on the NATO side probably because the Euro elite today is simply much dumber and infected with fanatical liberalism. The longer the war goes on more damage to Europe it will cause (and to Ukraine).
Church talk…:) Why are you suddenly so humanitarian? How about the countless civilian casualties that NATO-US wars have caused in the last 25 years? Shock-and-awe, we will bomb you to the Middle Ages…and the famous “collateral damage”.
If you agreed you have no standing. If you disagreed, what happened to the people who did it and cheered it on? Was anyone held accountable?
Russia has left the trains alone for the same reason she has avoided striking much of the rest of the critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Destroying the rail system could indirectly cause a lot of human suffering.
So Putin launched around 500 drones at downtown Kiev the other day but isn’t going after rail to minimize human suffering, is that right? Why don’t you explain that.
How would Russia know which train car contains weapons?
The Russian war plan seems mostly unchanged for several years. They are methodically destroying the AFU while destroying NATO hardware and mercenaries in the country.
Methodically, huh? Captured Russian POWs described chaotic human wave attacks and limited supplies.
Are you suggesting that they are solving some problem by destroying second and third gen NATO donations? What difference does it make to NATO?
Rebuilding after rail strikes is easy except for bridges and electric power stations.
I don’t think targeting rail West of Kiev would be easy for Russia. That is the more likely explanation.
They primarily rely on Shahed drones which aren’t accurate enough to target rail.
Those are crude two stroke Iranian drones that they aim in the general direction of cities. Very similar to Hitler’s buzzbombs.
The Kremlin is also working on denazification of the country by killing Azov members on the battlefield. They are gradually increasing protection for Russian-speakers in the East.
Do Russian-speakers die in Putin’s attacks on Ukrainian cities?
I never was a cheerleader for America’s wars in the MidEast or elsewhere in the world, like you most certainly are for Russia’s war in Ukraine. I’ve come out, even recently, suggesting that Russia’s campaign to gain more influence within Ukraine should have continued with its soft power leanings within Ukraine, including development of its strong economic and business interests within Ukraine. Certainly, even a Russian war hawk such as yourself can now see what a much wiser strategy this would have been for Russia, rather than trying to appease the megalomaniac Putler’s quest to become the modern day Peter the Great?
You don’t answer – claiming that you were not a cheerleader is irrelevant.
There are two sides and NATO-US are more brutal, killed more civilians, attacked more countries – let’s not forget the original sin of NATO attack on Serbia (in Europe). No accountability: “we can and they can’t“, borders are “sacred” except when we do it, then they are not…
Your quest to find far-fetched historical analogies is lame. It’s about today not the 18th century, or we can dig up the Polish-Swedish-Ottoman-French-German very bloody invasions of Russia.
That what they did in 2014-22. And NATO was moving into Ukraine and arming it. Kiev banned Russian language in schools, eliminated Russian culture, cut-off business ties…If you have a better idea on how Russia could have stopped it in 2022 you should share it. I have asked this question and nobody has an answer. I suppose you just wanted Russia to roll over and die – would US do it?
Douglas McGregor could use another beer. He supposes the Azeris and the Turks are going after Iran in some Fear of Missing Out impulse. I guess their TV is telling them Iran is on verge of total collapse.
You think the Russian patriots have no impetus to take out those filthy Swedes?
The Serbs are still pissed off about 1448.

It’s only fair. You tiptoe around my questions and don’t give any direct answers, so I’ll reciprocate and do the same! 🙂
Putin’s defenders at Unz are seeming a bit unstable lately. But that shouldn’t be a surprise.
Putin launched a massive wave of drones against Kiev for all to see on worldwide television.
Trump is giving up on Putin and sending Ukraine defensive weapons.
Russia has not taken Sumy.
Putin admits they are short on potatoes and their chief economist said things will get worse.
The 2.5 week special operation is having a difficult month.
Beckow bringing up the Middle East shows frustration on his part.

Certainly, even a Russian war hawk such as yourself can now see what a much wiser strategy this would have been for Russia, rather than trying to appease the megalomaniac Putler’s quest to become the modern day Peter the Great?
It’s similar to WW2 in that Hitler could have easily expanded the empire if he stuck to softer targets.
Putin is following the path of Nicholas II.
Nicholas II: I doubt the Japanese know anything about Naval combat. Let’s do it.
Putin: I doubt the Ukrainians will do anything with those Western weapons. Let’s do it.
Ask again and I will answer, but stay out of the 18th century…

Serbia is not in the Middle East, get a map…pretending to be confused is no way to win an argument.
Out of curiosity, who is winning the war? Who is publicly begging for a ceasefire? What are Ukraine’s chances to join NATO and EU? (It was a done deal before the war.)
Obviously Russian-speaking Ukrainian civilians die as a result of attacks on cities (don’t they all speak Russian?). What is so complicated, Moscow’s plan is evolving and they are going after targets which previously they avoided? The reason for this is unknown, let’s wait and we may find out.
What is the civilian casualty figure for the large Russian attack on Kiev last week?
Trump is sincerely pissed off that he couldn’t fabricate a solution to the Ukraine crisis out of thin air and place another “peace” feather in his cap. I wonder if he even knows Russia’s proposed terms? He is probably also miffed that walking away from the project will make him look weak. However, if Team Trump keeps the fighting going then he can pass the Ukraine debacle on to the next administration; only three and a half years to go! A major downside of that tactic is another million dead Ukrainian men. Very sad.

Has anybody else noticed Iga Swiatek has not won one tournament since her drug bust last year?
Trump wants to broker a deal. He is doubtless somewhat pissed off at Merz & Macron, as they are the ones keeping their puppet, Führer Zelensky in the field. Trump has little leverage he can use on them. Right now, ongoing lower level talks is the best that can be done.
Of course Trump does. He and Putin largely align on the inevitable final outcome. Their key staff, including Witkoff and Lavrov, are on the same page.
The prior regime’s ambassador to Russia finally quit after being cut out of the loop for months. Will Witkoff fill that slot? Or, is he more valuable in his current role?
Just the opposite. Walking away from Europe’s Folly would be a show of strength.
Alas, the key problem remains — Narrow margins in Congress. The Demonrats are engaged in maximum obstruction. Trump needs to keep some non-MAGA establishment GOP types onboard to move appropriations and confirmations. As I predicted in previous comments, this will result in some support, primarily defensive reloads, going to Ukraine.
There was no large line item in the BBB for Ukraine expenditures. Only smaller amounts can be extracted from general use Pentagon allocations. This sharply limits this administration’s scope to send material… orders of magnitude less than Team Biden transfers.

It will not end as long as Germany, France, and the UK are willing to pay 95%+ of the expense for Kiev aggression. How long can they afford to carry the load?
PEACE 😇
You are the one that is confused. I haven’t mentioned Serbia.
Out of curiosity, who is winning the war?
The US weapons industry and death.
Ukraine has lost land and Putin has lost his clearly stated goal of keeping NATO from expanding East. It has expanded through Finland.
So a disastrous war for both sides which is what I said at the beginning.
Let’s see what Ritter said at the beginning:
“The war is over and Russia has won”
Who is publicly begging for a ceasefire?
Trump was asking for a ceasefire and has since given up. More patriots are going to Ukraine.
Well played Putin. The NATO member with the largest stockpile of weapons was giving you a chance to compromise and you blew up that bridge. Great job.
What are Ukraine’s chances to join NATO and EU? (It was a done deal before the war.)
Ukraine wasn’t welcome into NATO before the war so that would not be a change.
Or do explain how Finland was able to join so quickly but Ukraine wasn’t able to do it when they had a pro-NATO president from 2014-2019.
There was no large line item in the BBB for Ukraine expenditures. Only smaller amounts can be extracted from general use Pentagon allocations. This sharply limits this administration’s scope to send material… orders of magnitude less than Team Biden transfers.
No major expenditure for Ukraine has been proposed by Democrats or Republicans.
The previously passed package provides 155 ammo for years.
The ATACMS inventory was handed over to them.
It will not end as long as Germany, France, and the UK are willing to pay 95%+ of the expense for Kiev aggression. How long can they afford to carry the load?
Is Trump making a mistake by sending Ukraine more patriot missiles?
Do you support sending them defensive weapons to be used against drone attacks on Russian civilian areas?
Obviously Russian-speaking Ukrainian civilians die as a result of attacks on cities (don’t they all speak Russian?). What is so complicated, Moscow’s plan is evolving and they are going after targets which previously they avoided?
Well you said they are increasing protections for Russian speaking Ukrainians in the East.
Which means they are knowingly killing Russian speaking Ukrainians in various cities while ….. trying to protect Russian speaking Ukrainians? Is that right?
What types of military targets are they going after in Kiev? Do explain since Putin launched 500 drones at Kiev in a single night. They had 500 targets in downtown Kiev?
Really? If you lost some investment in Ukraine, I would understand your fanatical adulation of Ukienazis – you picked the wrong side.
Are you talking to me?
As hoped, the “amnesty” idea is dead. (1)
The suggestion never made sense, especially as the BBB geared up the administration to accelerate deportations.

Trump appears to have finally woken up and realizes that if history ever compares his Putler appeasing stance to Reagan’s resolute call to Gorbachev to “tear down this wall”, he’ll become America’s biggest coward. When is Trump going to finally ask Putler to “pull back his troops” and cease his march towards the West?
There’s really no comparison!
We have previously discussed all of these points, maybe you did not understand.
Russia is trying to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces (AFU) and drive NATO out of Ukraine. If there is serious fighting in a city civilians will die. Once Russia overwhelms the AFU in that area they will protect the city from the Ukrainian military and gradually begin to rebuild it. Mariupol comes to mind as an example.
I think there are a great many military targets in Kiev, far more than have been attacked so far. This city is the political, military and technical center for the entire country.
You seem to be forgetting the West intentionally CREATED this crisis with Russia long before Maidan, with meddling in Ukraine even during Soviet times and continuing into independent Ukraine. Not to mention the USA has long held a very aggressive military posture against independent Russia with expansion of NATO, unilaterally dropping the ABM and INF nuclear arms control treaties, meddling in other FSU countries and placing a nuclear strike-capable missile site in Romania.
Instead of the Greens getting rid of cows, I think we should accept their future potential utility in providing clothing for the Green caste (And I am not talking about leather!) And also housing for them.
It only requires researchers to find the right treatment for cow urine to make the commie blocks higher. I mean, three stories isn’t dense enough for a neighborhood to have all the amenities, like public transportation, restaurants, and theaters.
The words from Trump and Rollins sounded good. Chavez-DeRemer’s words sounded like gibberish and tap dancing. Rollins effectively implied they will try to avoid deporting farm workers in ways which cause farmers to publicly complain. She also mentioned automation (as have I) to replace farm labor, which implies subsidies for increased agricultural automation. I guess one short run piece of this could be temporary, non-convertible work permits (no path to a green card) with automatic payroll taxation and possible capital controls. Maybe some places have this already.
What about the 1 million H1-B visas for wonderful Indians?
What about meritocracy in education? Are there any moves afoot to bring back the real SAT?
Lots of bull…and your usual lies. Try to look at the situation dispassionately and don’t distract with what doesn’t matter (US MIC or Finland).
Short summary in the future:
NATO attempted to expand to Ukraine to better threaten Russia. They helped to stage a coup in 2014 and armed the new government. Russia sat on its hands and negotiated. By 2022 it was obvious that NATO was not interested in a deal – they wanted it all.
Russia in 2022 invaded Ukraine to force the deal but NATO told Ukraine to fight to the last man…and they did. It took years and lots of destruction. The result was a much smaller and neutral Ukraine. NATO lost but to save face pretended it was never interested. Ukrainians who went into the war as one of the largest European nations with huge resources dropped to be a second tier European country with a third tier economy.
MIC got richer so there was some consolation among the fanatic Russo-phobes although it’s really not clear how the two were connected, the NATO governments could have simply mailed large checks to each citizen…the un-payable debts be damned.
Not just India. Many countries send people.
I have argued for years that excessive H1B/OPT is a serious problem. American kids can obtain STEM degrees, but will not do so if there are no entry level jobs. Reducing the number and increasing the minimum pay for H1B makes a great deal of sense.
In the giant list of MAGA priorities, it is hard to get this one to the top. Am I going to have a Beckow style mental schism and irrational rant because this is not being delivered as #1? Nope.
It is unreasonable to expect 100% of absolutely everything. Instantly.
Right now there is huge MAGA focus on illegals. Closing the border and shipping them out by the millions is a good start on helping America. Deporting 20 million would do much to collapse the current rent and housing bubble. (1)
Take the wins that you can get when they are available.
There are better options such as ACT and Classic Learning Test [CLT]. States need to stop linking scholarships to PSAT and SAT. Schools are already grasping that current SAT is not a useful predictor of future performance. Slow decline is near inevitable if they do not improve the product.
At the K-12 level, the NEA and teachers unions hate merit. It reflects badly on their meritless members.
The WIHAN-19 fakery generated a great deal of interest in home schooling. Voucher programs are increasing access to non-union schools. These will not solve all the problems, but they will help.

These questions are related. We need to immediately bring back a test like the real SAT (was it prior to 1985?) but make it 25% more challenging so the top score is 2000 (1600 to 2000) using additional more difficult questions. I don’t think the ACT was as good as the SAT before that standard was watered down, but they should use whatever test works. The name doesn’t matter. This might be a key step to get US STEM standards up quickly. Now that DIE has been at least temporarily ousted serious colleges can use the test as part of the admissions process again.
Fixing the rest of the US education system will take more steps, but should not really be that difficult with contemporary information systems.
Lower entry level pay is only part of the problem. Spending one’s youth in a woke/DEI/racially integrated school, playing video games and taking street and pharma psychoactive meds is not conducive to maturing into a thinker. The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
I agree that home schooling can help.
Meanwhile numerical trends in reality are inevitably notably downtrending:

We have previously discussed all of these points, maybe you did not understand.
Russia is trying to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces (AFU) and drive NATO out of Ukraine.
Where was NATO in Ukraine? In 2022 exactly.
Putin never claimed that NATO was in Ukraine. He said that he needed to invade Ukraine to stop the Eastward expansion of NATO. Well that goal failed as Finland has since joined which pushed NATO East.
As you can see that happened.
You seem to be forgetting the West intentionally CREATED this crisis with Russia long before Maidan, with meddling in Ukraine even during Soviet times and continuing into independent Ukraine.
Now the West is at fault over something that happened during Soviet times?
Was there ever a period where a majority of Ukrainians wanted to be part of the USSR?
Ukrainians warming up to the embrace of Russia:
In the past few days there have been two armed ambush attacks against ICE personnel in Texas by Antifa types. If Antifa hasn’t been declared a terrorist organization yet, it must be because some powerful people in the United States establishment want it so.
They (Antifa) really do believe that they are living in the equivalent of 1944 ccupied France and that ICE is the Gestapo.
Violent, delusional, and dangerous…
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ice-agents-targeted-in-2-ambush-attacks-in-recent-days/ar-AA1IbTeM
‘On Independence Day, a group of about 15 rioters violently attacked the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas – and shot at a local police officer,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “
Am sometimes mystified by the retro scene.
I can understand why someone would make voxel Doom or Doom mods or levels, or new games with the same characters, but to remake Doom on the SNES using special cart hardware? Incomprehensible. Where is the market for that? And why invest the time?
I really can’t understand these physical releases of games for ancient systems. It is such a niche market. How could anyone make money off it?
“He supposes the Azeris and the Turks are going after Iran in some Fear of Missing Out impulse.”
Erdogan is doing a pretty good job (much as I detest and distrust him) of reconstituting Ottoman Turkish power – having crushed the (presumably CIA funded) Gulenistas he’s pinched a chunk of Syria, made nice with the Azeris and other Turkic peoples:
https://www.specialeurasia.com/2025/04/17/organisation-of-turkic-states/
while keeping their special economic deal with the EU. I assume the US have decided he’s “their bastard” and are encouraging him to make life hard for Iran on their northern and eastern borders and Russia on their south eastern borders – and if it disrupts Belt and Road, so much the better.
I would be wary of a “collapse of US” theory which doesn’t take into account the current power of the US. World War Two was the last hurrah of the British Empire, which pretty much vanished within the next 15 years, but they still won it (i.e. flattened Germany), admittedly with a lot of help.
Bringing merit back to the SAT makes sense.
I do not see the return vs. expense on expanding the top score. For university admissions anything above 1,550 is top 1%. Those last 50 points provides classification within the top 1% if needed.
It also reduces comparability to prior years. While well intentioned, it would likely be misused to provide cover. Anything that might dumb down the evaluation should be avoided.
Beating the NEA and other unions is essential. Here are some examples of what the NEA is up to. (1)
There is even more at the link. The NEA is, of course, defending the Department of Education. How much does the DoE funnel to unions?
Red states are likely to do well. They are already cleaning up school boards.
Can blue states be saved?
I will 2/3 agree.
I am not sure why you are so hostile to video games. The good ones develop fine motor skills and cognitive ability. An RPG requires absorption of multiple novels of material. Choices are made on information that was obtained 10-20 hours ago, so the level of processing is high. Limited resources such as skill points and gold are optimization problems. Multiplayer games require team work.
Too much of anything is a problem. However, those who play complex games a reasonable amount do well in STEM.

The government dropped supposedly big news on JFK files at 5:00 p. m. East Daylight-savings Time on 3 July.

(Today’s version of the wikipedia refers to Aral Sea in past tense.)
How different would ancient Europe have been if native elephants had survived? (I presume the others were not ideal because not climate adapted)
In the Turkish historical drama tv series that I’m watching right now, there’s a scene where Herzl, the author of Zionism, is seen drawing Israel’s future flag with representations of the borders reaching from the Nile to the Euphrates. The Aral Sea is even more ambitious as an outpost for Turkey, although most pipe dreams end up drying up. (songbird – I’m up to installment #15, and it’s still an interesting watch).
It is a deliberate choice to obscure absolute test score ranking, so that they can weigh other factors.
Absolute score would be interesting HBD information.
But there is also the peril that it incentivizes bright, young people to spend too much time in prep. Testing culture can easily go to extremes.
A much better policy would be to try to minimize the importance of college by legalizing IQ tests for employment.
This conflict is the West ATTACKING Russia using Ukraine as a proxy. The conflict cannot be understood without recognizing this fundamental foundation.
NATO and Western funded groups were working in Ukraine since before 2014 to make the Ukrainian armed forces (AFU) NATO interoperable. This was a gradual process based on the notion that Ukraine would eventually be in NATO. NATO military observers and advisors were embedded with AFU combat forces in 2015 in Donbass. The West and NATO had numerous quasi-military sites and offices set up in Ukraine long before the SMO. All of this was publicly disclosed. Steps were incremental so each one could be discounted by dishonest politicians, but the net result was an obvious progression of long term ACTIONS to bring Ukraine into NATO.
NATO started out as an anti-Russia military alliance and still has this role. Moving NATO closer to the Russian border was always a mistake. I assume Finland will eventually drop out of NATO and restore relations with Russia, hopefully improving them from adversarial to uneasy.
Will Mr. Hack support the House of Osman against AP’s Habsburg’s now?

USSR ceased to exist in 1991, you need to keep up.
If you meant Russia, then large majorities in Donbas-Crimea want to be a part of Russia. Based on elections there are many others in Ukraine who would welcome it, but not a majority. The solution was available: let the areas that wanted to be Russian have an autonomy (the Minsk deal) or separate. This happens around the world all the time – US-NATO even went to war to separate Kosovo from Serbia.
Instead Kiev chose war and now whine that Russia doesn’t want to stop and wants to finish it. The Western ceasefire now!!! is a plea to surrender. It looks like it’s too late.
My perception is the citizens of the Eastern and Southern portions of Ukraine in 1991 would have happily been part of Russia. Decades of anti-Russia psyops changed this for many of them. It seems likely the people in the far West of the country were historically anti-Russia, though these feelings might have faded over time as Russia became just another country. The people in the middle could go either way.
These disagreements over the borders are not an excuse to sell your entire country out to diabolical foreign powers who simply want to use you and your fellow citizens as disposable cannon fodder.
The Ukies put themselves in harm’s way between NATO and Russia, directly on the border. Considering that these two powers were in a long-standing nuclear stalemate this may be one of the stupidest geopolitical mistakes in human history.
Great job, morons!
There are probably numerous credible military targets in Kiev, though apparently fewer each week. This video showed a few active air defense sites.
Russia attacks Ukraine with 700 drones after Trump vows to send more weaponshttps://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/russia-attacks-ukraine-with-700-drones-after-trump-vows-send-more-weapons-2025-07-09/
Are you sticking with your claim that those are military targets? Putin’s generals carefully selected hundreds of targets that are in civilian areas?
How many military targets are in downtown Kiev? Thousands?
The Turks never left very positive impressions in the Ukrainian land of Podolia that they controlled for almost 30 years. The Habsburgs held sway in the West Ukrainian lands of Galicia, Bukovina and Zakarpattya for approximately 150 years. By and large, Ukrainian assesment of Habsburg rule is a positive one, where the Ukrainians were given more freedoms and the ability to develop their own sense of nationhood. You can still find commemorative statues to notable rulers like kaizer Franz Joeph and Empress Maria Theresa in these former Habsburg lands.
Beckow is the bald headed guy towards the right, not the one on the left towards the back row. Or is that Averko, I get the two mixed up very often. 🙂
How many people score 1,600 each year? Perhaps 1,000 out of 2,000,000+?
How much additional cost will each of the 2,000,000+ have to carry for additional questions that only apply to 1,000 people/yr? Applicants already complain about the fees.
If you believe ultra elite schools are operating in bad faith, what makes you think that they will not find corrupt methods to “weigh other factors” even if the top 1,000 students are better sorted?
IMHO it is more important to focus on stripping DEI/woke questions out of the 1,200-1,400 band. This would be much more important for insuring quality and merit of the bulk of STEM potential.
PEACE 😇
The mistake was so enormous it now appears impossible to walk it back. This is not even close: moving NATO to the border of Russia that has nukes and says it’s a red line is breathtakingly irresponsible. Maybe we will get lucky and after all the huffing and puffing Trump will slowly let it go.
Even today no NATO leader admits the NATO-in-Ukraine plan was a mistake and says it won’t happen – they instead double-down on the idiocy. Trump goes back and forward, not wanting to lose face, not enough. The others are fanatics – a form of insanity.
That looks like Stalin, definitely not Franz Joseph. Possibly a version of Marie Theresa, she was famously ugly. And the statues look new, are they in Ukraine? ….
I have a lot of hair, you on the other hand in that 110 degrees Phoenix hell-hole, who knows..:)
Public education should be banished and the NEA along with it. It will be difficult to fix these without a bulldozer, but homeschooling and modern information tools hold promise. Of course revitalizing the family is part of the process.
The SAT was dumbed down several times over the years. Current scores are meaningless and apparently have little predictive value (as was intended with the dumbing down). However, the original SAT had solid predictive value and was a very sensible tool for colleges to use in admissions. Unfortunately, even at its best the USA K-12 education system was not as rigorous as European, Russian or Asian systems. Now that the world is connected, USA kids need to be educated to the higher world standard. Setting the SAT top above 1600 is part of this. Instead of having poorly educated smart kids getting 1400, they need to aspire to being well prepared and getting 1650. Don’t forget that AI may leave less intelligent and less well prepared people less employable in STEM, at least in terms of jobs which are not manual labor. My sense is that US education always had an egalitarian, non-meritocratic bent which kept our standards low in comparison to other developed countries. This most likely was partially an Affirmative Action mindset in disguise. Some places had the two-track system which was very non-egalitarian. With some sort of singularity looming it is not clear how things will work out in US education.
Obviously training to the test is a disaster. I believe this behavior is mostly an immigrant issue and can be influenced by the educational culture. However, even training to the test does not entirely undermine the test results in terms of college admission suitability, though it is still a terrible habit. If the culture does not put a premium on personal integrity then many important things are impossible to achieve.
I think video games take too much time out of a developing person’s life. Sure they have a good side and have been very beneficial to many people, but on balance I think they are a huge net loss for humanity. Life is not the Last Starfighter or Ender’s Game. I am glad video games are around but people should avoid playing them. In a similar way, I think mind altering drugs should be legal but people should avoid taking them.
I support the idea of using educational games to teach people and help them learn and develop mental discipline. At some point in a kid’s development I think personal discipline must replace the inviting and friendly nature of the game. If life is not challenging, why bother?
Good advice!

Oh, I don’t know…Maria Theresa looks rather dignified and regal in this monument dedicated to her honor somewhere in Slovakia. It looks like the Slovaks, like the Ukrainians, held the Habsburgs in high esteem…
This is not even close: moving NATO to the border of Russia that has nukes and says it’s a red line is breathtakingly irresponsible.
NATO was already on the border before the war and with Finland they gained more border than if they had added Ukraine (which didn’t qualify and wasn’t in the process of applying).
Finland’s border puts them much closer to St. Petersburg which is much more vital to Russia than cities near Ukraine like Kursk.

Where would you expect better student outcomes:
1. Public schools in Montana with teacher’s unions
2. Charter schools in Detroit with at-will employment
I think this is the relevant part of the Reuters article you linked.
LOL. Based on the structure of the article this wording suggests there were no casualties in Kiev. I think this is partially due to Russian targeting and partially due to US satellite warnings to the Ukrainians who then scramble underground.
I usually try to give a sensible partial explanation for the facts we read about, but not a justification or moral evaluation. In my view the West is intentionally trying to start WW3 which will likely involve nuclear and biological weapons. Therefore if Russia could stop this Western madness tomorrow by leveling Kiev and killing many people, that would be a proportional response in this very serious situation. It would be very sad. A much better solution is that people in the West should arrest their leaders for treason and clean up our own houses to stop this disaster. The Russians do not have that option and they are obviously reluctant to kill their Ukrainian cousins and neighbors. At some point they may feel there is no choice but to expand the destruction. This will not be surprising to anyone, even the Ukies.
In many wars the entire capital city is a favored military target. If the Russians start carpet bombing random neighborhoods with FABs then we will know they are taking the war to the civilians to generate regime change by the survivors. If they use FABs selectively in a few places I assume they are bombing military production or storage facilities and have accepted the civilian casualties.
Alex Jones cope might be nonsensical but it is funny. The thing with Epstein is same as Diddy. It is not the government’s responsibility to protect these women. It was their family’s responsibility and their families tossed it. The people on the Epstein list are trash. The people who went to Diddy’s parties are trash. The people who gave them all the glowing press and publicity until the minute the jig was up are trash. The jig remains down for Obamas and Oprah and Lebron James.

The bust looks a bit familiar with the inscription “STA…”. I wonder if it’s a rare Maria Theresa?

Ukrainians hit vital Russian target – a beach in Kursk where families were playing.
Gorodskoy Beach is in the Kursk Railway District, next to the Kirovski Bridge over the Tuskár River. It is ideal for families with children: shallow waters, a limited area for the little ones and a sandy beach. Access is free and open 24 hours a day, it is a popular place for ordinary people.
A drone hit followed by a second as people were evacuating the beach. Three men dead and a five year old boy, who died of his burn injuries.

It seems beaches covered in people are a favourite target of Ukraine.
I only knew one person with a perfect score.
A lot of differentiating value probably comes from people who take the test early. Like before they are 14.
Oh, I think they will continue to do it.
It is important to go after DIE, but difficult as a lot of top universities have endowments, etc. and they will just do it behind closed doors.
But DIE itself isn’t everything wrong with colleges. Colleges seem to vastly lobby for and facilitate migration just to secure international students as a revenue and labor source.
I really think the only solution is to cut back on the college system, by decreasing the need for degrees.
Epstein died late in Trump’s 1st term. The DNC & deep state machine had 4 full years to manipulate the files.
Try this as a credible starting theory. What if the material Bondi and others have in hand is deliberately inaccurate?
• Guilty Democrats have been scrubbed
• Innocent Republicans inserted
What would be consequences of releasing “known bad” files? Would they help advance MAGA policy?
___
Did Trump make a mistake by over promising JFK, MLK, and Epstein releases before knowing there was releasable content? Yes. Even if this is the correct choice, it leaves many questions permanently open for conspiracy theorists to pounce.
Is this a catastrophic debacle? Not really. If Trump was eligible to run again, it would be much more problematic.
After CIA and FBI cleanups are complete, perhaps real & original files will be available in a couple years. I am not going to hold my breathe though.

‘Dignified‘? You mean homely? That’s a polite way to say she was ugly like a goat…
The picture is not in Slovakia, where is it? We had one that was torn down by an angry crowd in 1919…they also had one in Prague, same fate. Your Hapsburg sympathies are 100 years behind times.
Do you know in WW1 Hapsburgs massacred whole villages in Galicia and put the people in camps? Look that up, probably your relatives. But feel free to worship feudalism or Hapsburgs, AP did it and we see how he went bonkers and disappeared…
Nobody cares about Finland, are you so desperate that you hide in the Finland refuge?
The war is abou the NATO plan to move to Ukraine. It’s not happening, so Russia won. If they don’t stop there will be very little of Ukraine left…maybe that’s what you guys really want.

I think there may still be restrictions on publishing the highest resolution images, even if they are from non-US satellites. The WoldView3 satellite has a 1.1 m mirror. I have lost track, but I think the mirrors on US birds are more than 3 meters. Accounting for better processing I assume they can do at least 10X higher resolution than the Singapore stadium image, though I think image that may be degraded. So 10X over the best case. Maybe 100X total? Don’t completely discount the internet imbeciles.

I have heard more than one woman who did not write letters to inmates on death row say that young Joseph Stalin was smoking hot. You could probably find a hundred citations to the effect that 1929 Adolf Hitler was a sex symbol.
These concepts seem to not be large in the mind of two sigma women. ****
**** female values of sigma.
If Trump was personally at risk, “controlled opposition”, or otherwise blackmailed — He would not have committed to a release. The fact that at the end of the road his administration cannot dump the files leaves few potential theories that bring true.
There has to be some surprise between then and now that resulted in the course change.

Wrong! Not Czechoslovak but Jewish for the Empress very bad opinion:
Maria Theresa: “I know of no greater plague than this race, which on account of its deceit, usury and avarice is driving my subjects into beggary. Therefore as far as possible, the Jews are to be kept away and avoided.”

I assume schools in Detroit are generally a disaster.
I assume that education in Montana is sort of OK. However, I once met a lady in Missoula who had an intense, medically significant case of TDS. She was a school social worker of some sort.
The main problems behind our school system are not public funding, unions or even HBD. They are ideology and parental attitude.
How about Putler’s visage, in contrast to his spiritual predecessors:
Poorly written nonsense that even for you reaches a new low. You quote a retarded Magyar revanchists-in-exile site. Can’t you at least quote wiki?
Czechoslovakia couldn’t invade self in 1921 – it was established in 1918 when the Hapsburg Empire collapsed and the last Hapsburg was exiled to Madeira where he died shortly after. In 1848-9 Magyars fought the Hapsburgs and lost badly, so Marie Theresa couldn’t be an ‘irrendentist’ hero…think and don’t embarrass yourself….:)
At least you admit that the MT statue you posted was torn down 100 years ago. It makes one wonder how much of your other stuff is out of date. What are you 80?
The future is here. Bots vs bots, all the way down, forever, world without end.
I don’t know about his visage, but they say he is bringing in a million Indians this year.
Do any of these Indians speak Russian or are they going straight to the front? 😉
Turks often suffer from megalomania. But at least it is settled, Crimea is not Ukraine and not Russia, it belongs to Turkey. I guess that was the plan B for getting NATO into Crimea…too bad the Crimean Tatars are only 12% of the population in Crimea, they will need to do a lot of killing to take over.
It also seems Bulgaria is gone…well, when a nation competes to be the top servant eventually they will disappear…maybe a lesson for the Ukies.
I wonder if the upcoming Indian census with caste will reveal how much of India’s army is of the martial races. Supposedly, Modi’s troop of bodyguards is all martial races, which is pretty interesting considering AA pressures.

Someone asked the big AI to solve the “climate change problem.”
So it killed all the humans, easy peasy.
How you ask? The AI robotically created a new COVID virus modified to have COVID-19 communicability with MERS lethality. BSL4 labs are too dangerous for humans so they will probably all be automated soon. The virus was released in a seasonal “immunization” program. The program probably had a catchy name like “Food for Shots” or “Food for Jabs” in some areas.
Easy, peasy.

On a different note, I wonder if the climate change goons have calculated the climactic effect of powering everything with solar panels? This should cause a large amount of warming in the deserts. All for a good cause, I’m sure.
Turks often suffer from megalomania. But at least it is settled, Crimea is not Ukraine and not Russia, it belongs to Turkey.
Well Turkey said it belongs to Ukraine
https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/turkiye-slams-russias-illegal-annexation-of-crimea-on-anniversary/news
Which means you also agree it belongs to Ukraine since you deferred to Turkey.
Looks like we finally agree on something Beckow.
There was a piece in one of the papers recently, looking at the border towns near Russia, now empty of the Russian tourists who were their major income source.
Not so long ago you could do a day trip by train from Helsinki, now if we want to visit Russia we’d have to fly via Turkey.
Based.
After I read about it I became vaguely curious about what the original official table of castes drawn up by the India Civil Service looked like. I wonder how it has changed over time, and how the martial races were identified?
I seem to remember that in the British period many battalions were made up of companies from different martial races, and each company could wear a different style of turban to reflect which martial race they belonged to. Am not sure when this applied though.
Neither I nor the author of the article claimed that Maria Theresa was an “irredentist hero”. It’s clear that the author lays the blame for the destruction of her statue at the feet of the “Slovak minority of northern Hungary (now Slovakia) [that] fought on the side of the Hungarians”. He clearly tries to convey that there was a sizable portion of Slovaks that were loyal to the Hungarian cause, to the extent that they were the ones that destroyed the statue. I’m no expert on these events, and if this wasn’t so, I’m all ears…
Alright…Mario Lanza? 🙂
Karlin is probably glad to hear of this news. As I recall, he was a huge fan of Indian cuisine and probably has visited every curry house in Moscow at the time that he was running the show here.
Where’s Karlin?
Chinese food is probably considered too proletarian to admire because of its ubiquity and longer history in the US.
Somehow there is an intellectual cachet to saying one likes Indian food. (Of course, I have only smelled it myself – but I did once accidentally try curry, when I thought it was ketchup. Since then, I avoid food prepared by Turks)

that is an interesting question. If caste is an advantage or requirement – how did they prevent people from trying to game it?
my guess would be that turbans had a martial association even before Sikhs formed as a group. (Do they make men look taller, like those spiked helmets Germans used to use?)
Seems like it would be an easy way to identify units too. But I am not sure that even the Sikhs had such a system before the British.
Much unlike with J6, armed assaults upon police stations, as what just recently occurred at the two Texas ICE facilities, are what real insurrections look like.

It’s a sad story, and the man has not been charged with a crime even though the altercation took place in July of 2024?…My outdoor activities are limited to occasional visits to a public pool.
It’s a nice large pool, that is segregated so that you can swim laps within:
I wouldn’t mind agreeing with you and I think we did in some areas in the past but I always say the Turks are treacherous. So I will go with Erdo grinning in front of the map of Turkey with Crimea…and Bulgaria…:)

It wasn’t so…Maria Theresa was pulled down by the Czechoslovak legionaries – who fought against the Habsburgs with the Allies. They were the post-WW1 military with local militias. They hated Habsurgs and Magyars, not any chance of “irredentism”. There was no Slovak support for irredentism, that was wishful thinking on the part of Budapest.
The MT statues were torn down in Prague-Bratislava by the Czechoslovak legionaries. In Prague they also removed religious statues – it was an era of rampant, militant secularism. Magyars had nothing to do with it, the site your linked is a chauvinist emigre bull..t.
There is an embarrassingly small and remote Maria-Theresa statue up the river in Bratislava put there 10 years ago by a Western hotel. It gets vandalized a lot, statues are a good target..they should had kept the Pushkin statues in Ukraine to relieve stress when the bombs fall…
One source speculated that the only thing which could flip Bongino and Patel on this issue is direct and credible death threats against their families. Many people think this flip has permanently destroyed their reputations so no lesser threat or deal would cause them to flip. Sounds plausible to me.
I never expected Trump to release anything substantial, but the sweeping under the rug is surprisingly blatant.
I recently saw a video of Trump where he emphasized that he never flew on Epstein’s plane to the island. Surprisingly, he embellished this by saying something to the effect that he was relieved that he had not flown with Epstein. I took this as an admission that he had actually been down there, probably on his own plane.
Trump was a Democrat at times and supportive of Killary. Donald may have Pizzagate-style links. I wonder if he had any interactions with the Podesta creeps?
Around the time of the recent strikes on Iran there was a report that Iran had hacked a bunch of Mossad kompromat files or something along those lines.

Trump likes adult women with big tits. Not young teenage girls. In the limits of his own mind he thinks he is clean and this is no big deal.
He is a filthy rotten rat and knew what everybody was up to. Roy Cohn’s boy. Where is the video of Alex Jones’ actual puking?
I wouldn’t mind agreeing with you and I think we did in some areas in the past but I always say the Turks are treacherous.
We probably generally agree on Turkey. Not sure if I would use the word treacherous but definitely untrustworthy.
It was once considered common sense to not trust the Turks…..in anything. In WW1 they were hated by their own Allies. They were complete bastards to Islamic nations while depicting themselves as a force for Islam.
The untrustworthy stereotype seems to have lost significance until Erdogan’s rebel force entered Syria.
Erdogan was building that force while shaking hands with everyone and depicting himself as a neutral player trying to bring peace. Smiling for cameras and talking about the importance of stability while his military trained a rebel force to destabilize Syria.
You just have to laugh. It’s f-cking hilarious. The guy is such a snake.
Trump wants to be seen as one of the top movers and shakers at every level and will do whatever is necessary to blend in with the power crowd. If the ritual requires a young victim, I’m sure he is amenable. I wonder if he ever had one of those unexplained black eyes which were going around a few years ago? I’m not counting Obama, we know where that shiner came from.
Here is another source suggesting that Team Biden destroyed key files: (1)
If Trump was at personal risk… Why would he volunteer the release? Any wacky theory that he is sitting on files to avoid naming himself is an obvious non-starter.
Could there be threats aimed at Bondi and others. It is possible. However, it seems more likely that critical documents have been purged by corrupt deep state operatives.

The past few days I’ve been listening to ‘conservative pundits’ (as always, what exactly are they ‘conserving?) on their token AM radio stations and YouTube channels complaining about the beyond atrocious behaviour displayed by the modern so called ‘progressives’ in the United States.
This is in regards to their in all too many instances quite literally laughing about the deaths of the dozens of very young Texas girls at summer camp in the recent Hill Country flooding there, and failure to denounce the two very recent armed assaults on the ICE facilities and their personnel.
And they are right to be upset.
However, these are also two giant red flags, amongst other previous red flags.
They really need to stop with their useless ‘punditry’ and start talking to their largely deracinated listeners about how they are going to survive a likely impending so called ‘anti-fascist’ and Communist ‘revolution’, to be followed by a ‘civil war’, not only in the United States, but very possibly in the whole of the Anglosphere.
Peoples’ lives in general are in extreme danger in the United States, in particular the lives of the so called ‘conservative’ types, who these violent, delusional, and dangerous, so called ‘progressives’ see as being quite literal ‘Nazis’ and, or, ‘Fascists’, who in their view have no rights, including the right to simply live.
I’d suggest studying up on the Russian Civil War, as I think it may well be a similar situation (though potentially much worse) in the US, following the Communist revolution.
I’ve said it before, while it was technically a ‘civil war’ if one wishes to call it that, imo the term ‘civil war’ camaflouges what in spirit and truth would more accurately be called an ‘anti-identity war’, directed primarily against the organic Russian people and their culture, and opportunistically against the identity and cultures of various other peoples then living within the Russian Empire.
In the states this so called civil war (in reality an anti-identity war) will not dissimilarly be directed against the organic remnants of the Anglo-Saxon identity and culture, and opportunistically against the identities and cultures of other peoples (often European) living within the US.
I’d suggest laying low, being careful what you say online and elsewhere, even to relatives, and moving away from large concentrations of Blacks who have been weaponized against Anglos and Euros (aka ‘Whites’) in general.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Civil_War
There very probably will be mass arrests, and as these modern so called ‘progressives’ clearly have murder in their hearts, they may be intending much worse on a large scale.
They’ve done it before…
As tempting as it might be, I’d suggest not joining up one of the various armies that might pass by you, as this will likely be a rigged affair, heavily (ie overwhelmingly) in favor of the Communist forces from the very beginning, much like the situation was in the so called Russian Civil War, and it would be akin to throwing your life away.
Discretion is the better part of valor here. Live so that you might fight again another day.
Anything you do, do on your terms, and not on theirs. Unfortunately, this impending so called ‘civil war’ in the US will, as stated, almost certainly will be fought on the self declared progressives’ terms.
Read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and some of what he had to say in his books, especially The Gulag Archipelago.
And certainly, defend your life, and the lives of your immediate loved ones, if one of these lawless and violent so called ‘progressives’ directly reaches out to threaten you or them.
Scarlet O’Hara set a good example in this regard for both the fairer sex, and for the menfolk, too, in the 1939 movie, Gone With the Wind.

Well, a few years back I used to exclusively swim at the outdoor pool. Then I joined a sportsclub much closer to where I live and avail myself of the jacuzzi/sauna/steam room too. I still like to go to the outdoor one at least once a week and catch a few sun rays late in the afternoon. Watching the kids jump off of the two diving boards is kind of fun too. 🙂
If you’re looking for an economical use of your time, and a safe one to boot, it’s hard to beat swimming!
A lot of interesting ideas that this elderly bodybuilder shares here. He could however learn a thing or to from you, about the importance of “sunning your balls”. Firstly, he should learn to shed his tie and suit before spending time in the outdoors. The less constricting clothing you are wearing, the more precious sunshine you can let your body bathe in. 🙂
This avoids facing the fact that Epstein was arrested on Trump’s watch. There are probably copies of relevant files. Were these the classified files at Mar-a-Lago?
This discussion gives some food for thought on the “big picture” related to Epstein.
AI and weaponized robots will make this completely different from any earlier armed conflict. People haven’t changed though.
Armed drones are just what these nasty and angry people want. Fight no, murder yes.
The gay and tranny issues are mostly a license for a group of creeps to abuse children while disguising this abuse as genuine concern for a small number of unusual people. The champions of this child abuse will kill in a second if they don’t have to face the carnage directly.
You need to stop your feeble & desperate #NeverMAGA attempts to blame Trump. He did not have control over investigations during his 1st term. This is obvious from the now debunked Russia, Russia, Russia myth and associated impeachment sham.
Why are you so determined to give Team Biden a free pass?
Are they blackmailing you?
Are you in the Epstein files?

I liked the segment where he was yacking about different approaches to training various historical celebrities have advocated through the years while simultaneously doing eight pull ups smooth. Cool trick.
Now I think I’m going to go pulse my synovial fluids.
From what I remember under the Raj recruitment used to depend on the recruiters having personal connections with families and building up detailed knowledge of particular communities, so it would probably be hard for people to successfully sneak in.
Iirc the turban styles for the three East India Company presidency armies were already different in the 1780s, not sure if this was by caste or due to regional style. It might be something that became part of the sepoy phenomena early on, when Indian troops started to wear European influenced uniforms.
I have one book that has a lot of illustrations of troops from Sikh armies between around 1800-1850, various turban styles are shown among different units but it’s hard to tell if the differences reflected caste, regional origin or religion. It’s not as clear as in the Company units or with the martial races in the Raj period army.
As a teenager, I could do 12 full pullups, no kidding. I attribute this to my thin skinny physique, and wild youthful hormones. My cousin, who ended up as an army ranger could do one armed pull-ups. I don’t remember how many he could do? Today, I’m pleased that I can swim 15 laps, and am poised to soon do 20! Soon, I’ll need to do some weight or circuit training routines to add some muscle to my body. I’ve lost 55 lbs in the last year, however, some of it (especially in my legs) has been muscle loss. Although I eat plenty of eggs, meat, cheese, seeds and nuts, I’m thinking of adding a protein drink to my repertoire. There’s a lot of hype out there about protein drinks, what might you recommend? And what about creatine?
The above comment was meant for you.
There are 10x the number of blacks in the UK as there were Euros in Rhodesia.
Take a deep breath. Better yet, take a hit from your Xanax inhaler.
I think the Epstein material is too radioactive for anyone to release. It doesn’t matter which side of the uniparty one hails from. I just expected a bit more than “The dog ate my homework.”
I am still hopeful for MAGA.
Ideally people such as Patel and the others will overcompensate for their shame by doing great things on deportation and organized crime and drugs, plus maybe help RFKjr in his crusades. These folks are apparently cowed or compromised so this doesn’t seem likely, but I will keep hoping anyway. Another possible outcome from this fiasco would be a bunch of Clinton era-style “suicides.” They should probably always take different flights.

It is not as dire as you suggest. There is no organic uprising. Leftoid violence is artificially generated via foreign funding, much like failed CIA color revolutions. For example: (1)
The groundlings are deranged factionalists with no popular support. Two of those arrested for shooting at ICE officers are IslamoGloboHomo trannies who will be sent to male federal prisons.
On the civilian side of the ledger — MAGA Patriots hold 80%+ of the weapons, 90%+ of the ammo, and 95% of the skills to use them effectively. On the military side — Consider where they recruit from. Trump successfully used the California National Guard over Newsom’s protests.
How long can “blue” cities last without food, electricity, and other essentials delivered via “red” areas”? The low end Nazi-crats live off SNAP and have no deep reserves. The pajama boyz will yield when they run out of Avocado Toast and Soy Latte.
How long would anti-American Muslims & Islamophiles such as Zohran, Omar, and Tlaib last in a fire fight?
I do not want to advocate for a SHTF moment. That being said, violence against Judeo-Christians could easily yield the 60+ Senate seats needed to break the IslamoGloboHomo DNC filibuster.

The American experience with Black-White integration showed that things would not work out if civilized policies were followed in Southern Africa. In the warm climate a cultural analog of Gresham’s Law may be at work.
You need to calm down. Better yet, take some Quaaludes and relax.
You need to deal with the reality that Team Biden and the deep state had total control over the files for 4 full years. Your failed attempts to deflect from this fact are clearly not working.
Why are you so determined to give Team Biden a free pass?
Are they blackmailing you?
Are you in the Epstein files?
Do you realize that no one will take you seriously as long as you defend the competence of Joe Biden? Even his doctor is taking the 5th to run from that failure.

I saw the Powers That Be were planning to use the interest accrued on those frozen assets to help fund the Ukraine thing. Not sure what came out of it though.
Financial Times earlier this week: “Europe must act now to seize Russia’s frozen assets” (258 bn euros). It’s just a downpayment on what is owed, you know.
The Epstein home movies at his town house were briskly removed by anonymous men, probably FBI but perhaps CIA or why not Mossad? They paid a lot for that kompromat you know. It’s only fair.

It appears that our blog’s biggest Trump cheerleader and biggest Ukraine detractor, kremlinstooge A123, is taking a powder, because it’s now official that Trump is funding up to $300 million in brand new procurements for Ukraine’s military needs.
How can this be? Doesn’t Trump realize that “Fuehrer Zelensky” according to kremlinstoogeA123’s meticulously crafted and nonsensical claims is nothing more than a dangerous Soros agent waging an offensive war against Russia designed to destroy this last bastion of Christianity within Europe and open up the floodgates of unrelenting immigration from Moslem countries?
I’m afraid that a powerful enough airplane glue has not yet been developed to help kremlinstoogeA123 cope with Trump’s betrayal of MAGA’s Ukraine policies…
Trump says that the weapons being sent to Ukraine are for defensive purposes. kremlinstoogeA123 has always maintained that Ukraine’s stance towards Russia has always been offensive. Who’s right, Trump or kremlinstoogeA123?
I am wondering when the number of blacks in the UK will exceed the maximum number of British in the whole of Africa and the Carribean.
There are about 4 million people of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi descent in the UK at the moment, max. number of British in India at any one time was around 280,000 iirc, including soldiers.
It’s one reason I think they may begin to retire the colonialism discourse at some point in the not too distant future, as the numbers of ethnic minorities in the UK continue to go up.

The homos are everywhere. Anatoly Karlin is a stereotype. Body building is clearly a death cult. Who wants to go out on a limb and say the homos are a death cult?
It would be used and not released. Biden probably used it and if it is still available it can be used again. Media circus is only entertainment and serious people don’t entertain themselves in public…

Yes. My general position is colonialism-neutral to slightly positive. It was a different time. Colonizing Africa was a strange twist. I think the mindset of the colonizers is captured by the adage “It is better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.”
Erdo is a bitter and ambitious man – he is not done with us, there will be more. It’s driven by geography, large countries in the middle with no real boundaries become treacherous to survive. Byzantium was famous for it previously, they played the game for almost 1,000 years.
This geographic imperative is often overlooked, the extent to which where a country is drives how it acts. In the Turkish case there also seems to be an inherited megalomania and ethnic narcissism. I tried to watch some of their “historical” dramas, it was unbearably lame and simple-minded as if done by children. They need to grow up…
Sure, he looks huge compared to mere mortals like you and me (well, maybe not you). 🙂
But compared to the likes of Arnold and Ferrigno, he looks, well “smallish”. His use of homemade weights and the practice of relying on more reps rather than heavier weights to gain definition rather than size was telling about his body building philosophy. I’ll defer to your judgement here, and thank you for posting this interesting video.
BTW, I take it that you’re some sort of a bodybuilder yourself, and only rely on food to fuel your own workouts? No vitamins or other supplements in your own routine? I was hoping that you might way in on creatine, something that probably all serious bodybuilders use today…
Humans have not significantly changed for a few thousand years – colonialism was a choice, not driven by the times. The choice came with mass murder, slavery, plunder, and it brought the West to today’s un-winnable situation.
One can argue that colonialism worked until it didn’t…post-colonial migration, deindustrialization, demographic and family collapse, can be traced back to the failed colonialism. What partially worked was settler colonialism, the West should had limited itself to that. Today we have the reverse settler colonialism from the regions where the West failed to prevail. It was predictable, almost inevitable (look at Ancient Rome).
Without the idiocy of trying to carve out unsustainable colonial empires Europe and its settler outposts would be better off. They would be more prosperous and stable with less skewed division of wealth. The key to success is to avoid an overreach…
The US is still diligently working to get as many of your Ukrainian friends and relatives killed as possible. It is hard to imagine you are gleeful about it. 🙁 The $300 million, while chump change, is probably a signal to NATO that the US will hang in there even as we are forcing them to fund this travesty. A123 is Trump’s biggest backer here, but is not as hostile toward Ukraine as you imply. He simply understands this is a dangerous war with no upside for any citizens (US, Ukraine, Russia, NATO).
Note that it is really challenging for the Russians to attack near civilian areas with high explosives and have this modest result: “71 people were hurt” (so no deaths reported). You will be really shocked when Russia is forced to take off the gloves. At some point you may want to stock up on strong antidepressants and maybe some anti-psychotic meds to help you keep it together when this starts happening. I think we will soon see NATO forces embed amongst Ukie human shields even more aggressively than the AFU has been doing. NATO cares much less about Ukrainian civilian casualties than does Russia–think about it.
If you have anything other than kremlinstoogeA123’s retrohaled airplane glue fumes that have helped you make such a stupid and baseless statement, let’s hear it? Trump seems to be genuinely concerned about stopping the killings, on both sides, and often is heard quoting a figure of 7,000 casualties per week that Putler could help stop if he was genuinely interested.
I agree. People are the same, the cultural mindset is what led to colonialism. In a weird sense colonialism may be good in that it is defacto a slight rejection of the policy of repressing one’s own people in favor of repressing a foreign people who can be xenophobically viewed as “lesser.” Not good, but it does water the seed of the idea that there are limits on repression. Of course this means nothing without further recognition and protection of human rights in general.
I am not a body builder.
My number one goal is climbing to the top of the nearest 9000′ mountain. Body builders do not climb mountains. Most of them can barely make it up 3 flights of stairs.
I do resistance training once every 3-4-5 days and scour hither and yon for technique. Almost everybody on the you tube is on drugs. My attitude towards drugs is Roger Federer’s.
“If sleep were a performance enhancing drug it would be number one and 30X more effective than whatever is number two.”
Roger Federer never flexed his chest in front of a thousand homos.
I think Trump was shocked when he learned the armed forces of Ukraine have probably lost more men than the US did in World War II. He does not seem to have the ability to understand this war in geopolitical terms and therefore take ownership of the leading US role in causing this crisis. Unfortunately, all of the publicly acknowledged Trump advisors may be too stupid or crazy to understand the foundations of this conflict.
No. They are perfectly aware that the Ukraine cannon fodder is being chewed up. It hurts Russia so all is fine. If Victoria Nuland can understand it then a twelve year old can understand it.

How can you make such a stupid and baseless statement! Trump is only interested in the appearance of his NATO victory. He is always a “winner” haha. Like in Iran, haha.
He is talking about ceasefire but keeps financing and arming the Ukraine carnage directly or thru the EU imbeciles (5%). If Zelensky’s life support from the Washington warmongers is stopped the war is over. He should think about Kiev illegitimate regime change – an epicentre of the problem.
Trump changing positions might have impressed you – do not take him seriously. Israel thru Epstein, in most likelihood, have blackmailing info on him.

The Russian move for Odessa would change the “fine” to panic. Not going to happen, Putin is a pussycat.

Trump understands that Europe is the primary driver behind the problem. Merkel openly admits that she singly handedly doomed the Minsk agreements.
As I have previously mentioned, MAGA does not control Congress. Trump needs to keep non-MAGA establishment GOP types on board to advance legislation and confirmations.
Passing the BBB was critical. The next step is the Recession package to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, thus locking in DOGE savings. After that comes next fiscal year’s budget. And, there is always an ongoing flow of confirmations. Trump’s 2nd term is behind on selecting new federal judges.
Alas, the GOP establishment includes war hawk voices. Concessions must be made, but will be kept as small as possible. MAGA policy is still detente towards Russia and prioritization of the CCP as America’s #1 strategic rival.
I largely concur. Europe was able to roll Team Biden for $250+ Billion. The latest Trump statement is potentially a mere 0.1%. It may not happen at all given low stocks of Patriot interceptors. However, it sadly demonstrates that limited numbers of GOP establishment holdovers can block a clean U.S. walk away.
The core question remains, — “How long can Europe (e.g. Germany, France, UK) carry almost all of the expense?” Führer Zelensky, enemy of the Jews, is Europe’s puppet. Figures like Merz and Macron must rein him in.
PEACE 😇
Actually, its a clear sign of how few GOP members he’s been able to bamboozle with his previous “Putin’s my guy, I respect him an awful lot” BS. As I pointed out yesterday, it’s most likely that he’s taking the long look and understands that he doesn’t want to come off as the supreme US pussy once his legacy is compared to Reagan’s.
Mr. Trump, open this gate…Mr. Trump, tear down this wall!
Russia has launched over 1500 drones and missiles at Kiev in the past week.
Were those all attempts at hitting military targets?
There is a clue to the origins of colonialism in the fact that the maritime kingdoms in the far West of Europe with long coast lines and easy access to the oceans developed colonialism, and Bavaria or Austria didn’t.
Afaik the early inspiration was trade and warring against the Moors and Turks. Then, the maritime powers fighting with each other over who would gain supremacy in Europe and the new territories their naval technology was making accessible.
I think the idea of colonialism as a phenomena distinctive from previous empires, and as something particularly negative, comes from several centuries later and is a result of both industrialization and democratization. This is also what brought colonialism to an end.
Sinner is from South Tyrol I.e ethnically Austrian. Bencic has two Czech parents.
I imagine this Russian ordnance was in fact all aimed at clear military targets, but how would we know? I think there are a great many military targets distributed through Ukrainian cities which so far the Kremlin has not hit so hard. Are you suggesting Russia is targeting Ukrainian civilians randomly (as a terror war or psyop) or perhaps specifically targeting individual civilians playing an important role in the war effort against Russia? I think the USA and the Ukies would do both of these things, but I don’t know about Russia. I think destruction of dual-use infrastructure applies general pressure on Ukraine. Clearly Russia still has a target-rich environment once they work through all the pure military targets.
What? You guys are still talking about Epstein?

Used to be a custom, part of a will, to give out deathshead rings at funerals. They would make them out of gold coins.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the number has already been crossed, especially if you add in “mixed”, let alone consider the last count was like 2021, and may have been an undercount.
But black country colonial numbers is kind of a dubious category in a lot of ways. In the Carribean, they were brought there. In South Africa, they were late arrivals, and didn’t have the technology to inhabit the dry parts of the country.
Some Africans show an astonishing amount of bitterness about colonialism, given how impenetrable Africa was until fairly late. I can’t help wonder if it is intentionally drummed up in the schools there to try to unite disparate ethnic groups. I get the perception of that in Rwanda.
Have you noticed the meetings of NATO or G7 gangs, are attended by individual European countries and then by duplicity entity the EU (chief)…and of course we must not forget their representative of the military Zelensky. This is highly asymmetric attendance from Europe. Is it for EU to control Germany or France or Italy policy line or to obtain an additional vote. How can US tolerate this scheme.
To correct this, for the next meetings the US should bring governors of Texas or California, to make it more symmetric.
About a week ago gunfire was directed in two separate instances against ICE agents in Texas.
Now, in a third instance, this time in California, gunfire has once again been directed against ICE agents.
That’s real insurrection like behaviour.
This was a cannibis farm which was being raided. It’s been found to, amongst others, have employed about ten children being utilized as effectively slave labor.
Their regular supply of low cost child slave labor harvested weed is threatened by ICE raids such as this one, and is apparently what has really outraged many of the modern so called ‘progressives’.
The historic ties between Anglosphere progressivism and slavery, both chattel and wage, are deeply rooted.

Despite the “Russia is trying to kill us” rhetoric, Russia is patently trying to avoid killing Ukrainian civilians. Three dead in two nights of major attacks on Kiev is a remarkably low figure. Israel could beat that tenfold with one bomb on an apartment, and often does.
Yes.
Well, no, not me at all, but a defecting KGB major named Anatoliy Golitsyn made these allegations.
True, Britain’s MI5 historian denounced him, because he [Golitsyn] dared question that the Sino-Soviet split was ultimately real.
I think this British denunciation of him was spurred on because if people accepted this allegation of Golitsyn’s, it might in turn have made people question just how real the Capitalist US-UK split of 1776-1900 was, thus threatening the whole premise of the entire so called ‘Cold War’ between Capitalism and Communism, which the powers that be could certainly not tolerate.
They want us to be fighting and killing each other in conflicts which have been artificially staged for us to fight.
I therefore, in this instance, consider Britain’s MI5 denunciation of Golitsyn to be a point in his favor.
You seem to be a bit more of a trusting soul than I am myself, who is prepared to readily dive right in where angels fear to tread, while I believe in maintaining a certain measure of caution about things, and testing the waters first. 🙂

In an apparent case of projection, the modern so called ‘progressives’ tell us about themselves, and, also, if but unwittingly, offer up an answer to the dilemma they have created for humanity.
http://chakoteya.net/StarTrek/66.htm
‘It exists on the hate of others.’
I’m sure that there’s much more to your projections about modern day progressive hijacking of the political systems of this world than a couple of old Star Trek episodes (good ones at that). I’ll try and keep them in mind and look forward to you providing any books or articles that would shed more light on this interesting topic.
It is more complicated than that.
The hatred, hostility, fight, &c is not for existence. It is not like bread and water.
It is for fun. It is for enjoyment. It is for intoxication. They don’t tear down statues and cancel you on twitter and get you fired because they will die without it. They do it in their free time. This may be described as psychological need but it’s an option.
It’s like football hooligans at the Rams game and they want to enjoy themselves punching and kicking at the Raiders fans. Kicks just keep getting harder to find.
Somehow, Anatoly Golitsyn was a cold war russian defector to the US that I wasn’t aware of. So thanks for bringing him to my attention. Throughout the years, I’ve had a keen interest in studying this type of espionage history. So thanks for bringing him to my attention, and I look forward to researching more of his exploits!

This is a last hurrah for the books. The East German commies commissioned a 50′ X 400′ painting of the Battle of Frankenhausen where Thomas Muntzer’s peasant army was wiped out in a proto-Bolshevik revolution in the 16th century. The painting was unveiled in September 1989 after the painter worked on it for eleven years.
Two months later the Berlin wall fell.
No, it doesn’t work like that in feudalism. Feudalism hasn’t much to do with nation states.
Otherwise she would be the Princess of the Welsh, not the Princess of Wales.
Feudalism is about having divine right to some piece of land, in essence more or less in the same way Jews claim to have divine right to Palestine (they claim to have a deed dictated by God which not every king had, though)..
Feudalism is still being spread by the Americans, though – have you seen Wachowskis “Jupiter Ascending”? That’s feudalism on the cosmic scale, so to say. Very useful movie to learn what reincarnation really is – namely, finding a clone! That’s explained to me why Tibetan monks always look for reincarnation of this or that lama in his close family. What I always wondered, why the rhetoric of objective perfection always leads to some inner circle, had finally got explained: perfection is genetical!
Hapsburgs and Rothschilds and Roosevelts concur.
Do you think Jeffrey Epstein succeeded in donating his sperm to hundreds of baby mamas? Maybe the files are sealed to protect the innocent.

It’s like a tick that gets much worse as people age…there will be 3 more years of this.
Among some people it did. But the general thinking among the colonial nations’ hoi pollois was an elation that others are treated even worse. You know the hierarchy thing.
It lasted until the colonial ideology failed – then it became fashionable to be against it. It seeded an incurable resentment among the majority of world population and that is inevitably having terrible consequences for the ‘home countries’. I am afraid we are only at the beginning…

The case of Israel is really interesting because it shows in a particularly clear way how wrong the traditional model of the interplay between propaganda, public opinion and policy is, especially the idea that propaganda requires literal suppression of inconvenient facts.
We literally have videos of IDF soldiers committing unspeakable acts against Palestinian prisoners, as well as countless testimonies of torture by Israeli soldiers and prison guards, dozens if not hundreds of IDF soldiers have admitted to committing various kinds of war crimes on camera, not to mention that we actually have videos of some of the war crimes in question, we also have calls by Israeli operatives threatening to eliminate the wives and children of Iranian generals, etc.
None of that is literally suppressed, it has been mentioned in mainstream media and is easily accessible to anyone who is interested, but it doesn’t matter and has very little impact on policy, because it’s not atrocities and violations of international law per se or even the knowledge that such things are happening that matters but whether it’s constantly repeated and condemned by politicians, intellectuals and journalists.
In the case of Israel, it only happens to a limited extent because the lobby is successful at making it costly to express such criticism and there isn’t a large constituency that cares about what happens in the Middle East, but the precise mechanism doesn’t matter to my point here. What matters is that you don’t need to suppress information to affect policy in the way you want, you just need to control how often it’s repeated and even more importantly how it’s spun.
The siege of Sarajevo, resulted in a huge pressure on Western policy makers to “do something” and even led to air strikes by NATO eventually, but Gaza makes the siege of Sarajevo look like a picnic and there is basically a Markale massacre every other day, yet it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t result in the same torrent of condemnations and people quickly move on every time.
Recently, a member of Knesset noted on television that “tonight we killed nearly 100 people from Gaza and no one cares because everyone has become used to the fact that 100 Palestinians can be killed in one night during the war” and he was right, but it’s important to note that, as he also seemed to understand, this isn’t because that information is literally suppressed.
Of course, it’s suppressed in a weaker sense, namely because people are pressured not to talk about it too much and not to spin it negatively, but people can still easily find that information if they want. The idea that propaganda doesn’t exist in GAE or that it’s less effective because “they” don’t literally suppress information is wrong. In many ways, “GAE” propaganda is actually more effective, precisely because it’s more subtle and people don’t realize they are being propagandized.
Fascinating data from Lithuania. Huge shift in demographics.
Over the past three years, more than 20,000 Russian and Ukrainian nationals have left, while immigration from South and Central Asia has surged, according to new figures from the country’s Migration Department.
As of July 1, 2025, Lithuania hosts 204,071 foreigners with valid residence permits. That’s a significant change from 2023, particularly among post-Soviet populations. The number of Ukrainians dropped from 94,000 to 74,000, while the Russian population declined by roughly 1,000.
In contrast, migrants from Tajikistan increased more than fourfold. The number of Pakistanis rose tenfold. Bangladeshis grew x15 times, and Azerbaijanis tripled. The Filipino community, once marginal, has grown sixfold since 2023.
All they think about is Massages.

Then they complain of an increased “Islamisation” of Lithuania and blame it on Russia.
The very definition of being a good American is to first demonstrate absolute allegiance to the United States and second, to strengthen the cultural backdrop of America, to wash away their ancestry once they come to the United States and be seen as American only.
Many feel the pain of constantly having to confirm their American citizenship. Part of being a good American is that although they often felt cast out, they must always persist to be seen as devoted Americans.
Perhaps one of the most tail wagging comments well-meaning women comment of a massage enjoyer, is what near native English she commands.

One thing I have not seen or heard or read or discussed much: is this progress?
I don’t know but it probably is. They tried to assassinate Hitler but the person of the leader was still somewhat sacrosanct in 1944. I like it better that all bets are off and I might go further and say the game changer was nuclear weapons. As long as the big one doesn’t blow you and I and the great masses of little guys are better off than we were in 1945. And as long as you aren’t in the cannon fodder class.
at this point, a lot of it falls into the realm of alt-history, but I think Liberia could have worked, if they used the great steamships and surplus navy vessels. And preceded county by county, starting in the less populated states.
By the summer of 1918, the US was moving 10,000 troops/day into Europe. and that was under wartime conditions, with convoy, and zigzagging. What, if instead, there had been international cooperation? With the Germans and Brits chipping in, for some kind of concessions?
If you mean relocating most US blacks to Liberia back in the day, sure that could have worked in terms of technical practicality and cost. This process was either not desired or was suppressed, I don’t know. Even today, deporting 30 million illegal immigrants including their progeny seems doable. There is not a will for this until the dollar collapses and by then it may be impractical. In the meantime, if we really deport the criminals and then clamp down on all the organized crime it will be a wonderful thing. Deporting illegal immigrant criminals may shine a bright light on black criminality.

btw, the only longer form Epstein related text which managed to read over the years, somewhat implicated that whatever Jeffrey had against Trump at the time, it was not enough to use for removing him as the competitor in buying oceanfront villa for flipping later with profit to some RF billionaire. Perhaps only had secretly recorded on his plane Trump sex tape with Melania lol
Also interesting, that out of those potentially implicated/mentioned, Tom Barrack later was appointed by Trump as official current USA envoy to Turkey, which is quite important position overall:

The Boriswave must have added quite a few.
It’s possible (and there are notorious examples of similar things, like Mugabe). It could be a useful strategy for politicians. The duration of colonial rule in a lot of Sub-Saharan Africa is an interesting question, it usually seems to be in the 70-55 years range, occasionally much shorter like Ethiopia, sometimes longer.
Trump is loyal to his friends, this is a fine character trait.
Whitney Webb had a report that Melania’s first job in the United States was whoring for Epstein. Allegedly.
It’s rather obvious her first job in the United States was whoring. Maybe it was one of the Epstein-competitor pimp operations. And maybe it was Epstein his self. This detail is sort of immaterial adjacent to their general tribal membership.
It seems like some of them are still around, but it looks like they have been assimilating into both communities:

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Anglo-Burmese people like Kate Beckinsale (subset of Anglo-Indian?), but never an Anglo-Indian.
It’s telling that Diana Hayden chose to marry an American from Nevada, rather than a member of her own community.
But I guess, in a sense they’re still “Anglo-Indian”.
There are plenty of all type imaginable whoring around very rich men, but why exactly Melania was chosen to become official one for Trump at the roughly same time when buying the aforementioned oceanfront villa?
Maybe Epstein indeed tried to blackmail Trump into dropping out of the bidding race with that potential plane sex tape as the first time on video might have been not somehow very pretty or consensual, but Trump nullified it by proposing in 2004 and marrying year later. No much crime to rail your future wife in the sky lol

The Mote in God’s Eye (Mote Series Book 1)
I have never met one either, I think I’ve met more Luso-Indians and Goan Catholics (even in the UK). I did know a guy who was half-Indian and half-British but it seems like this doesn’t count because his parents met after independence.
Among film stars, in the 1940s there was also Merle Oberon, whose mother was from another Anglo-Indian subgroup:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merle_Oberon
I am guessing he is pretty rich.
There is an interesting novel which is basically about this subject, set around 1947, written in the early 50s. I think I mentioned it before in a discussion with Mr Hack. The heroine is an Anglo-Indian woman who has to choose between marrying the Anglo-Indian guy she is engaged to, or the British officer of Gurkhas she falls in love with later (from back story in previous novels you find out that he is a kind of Anglo-Indian himself):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhowani_Junction
This is how I first heard about the Anglo-Indians.
It is quite possible or even likely that Negritos once lived in Southern China and had their genetics absorbed into a larger melting pot. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few, perhaps useful, alleles survive relating to skin. For instance, something that would help a person tan.
There are, I believe in the South, sometimes darker Chinese (though not black) who are given the knickname “Blackie.”. If black skin was more common, I imagine the knickname would be reserved for it.
When Bliss posted, they were very old pictures, and I thought that something may have gone wrong in the development process. But now I wonder if some Chinese coolies might have really been this dark, after spending 10,000 hours in the sun.
I once saw an old Greek man (evidently a sun-worshipper) who was almost as dark. I wanted to ask him how much time he spent in the sun, but it didn’t seem polite. If I had the opportunity again, I would be cleverer, and find a subtle way.

Articles and ads promoting hemp products. Here’s one of the latest ads promoting Cheech and Chong’s latest cannabis product: “Space Chews” – No smoke, no smell, no mess—just good vibes.
And here I thought that kremlinstoogeA123’s imagination was all along being fueled strictly by the inhalation of model airplane glue, where perhaps in reality its been a strong combo of cannabis and glue in a mind blowing cocktail?
conservative journals have sure changed over time?…

What’s the problem? You can’t find your own dates?…
(you’re going to have to wait a long time, she’s staying put for quite a while). 🙂
Recently, there was a newsstory about a big marijuana ring that was busted. It had operations in homes in Maine, MA, and FL. It was run by Chinese using indentured Chinese illegals run in through Mexico.
I thought it was an interesting story because it touched on this conversation about indentured labor.
I wonder whether the ring would have existed except for the legalization of pot. I mean the thing was only illegal because they didn’t have the license and weren’t paying the tax.
I haven’t learned the cheat codes for meeting Jizz’s friends.
Is that a real picture? I don’t think I have seen it before.
The legal, and illegal marijuana business in the US has an overall corrupting influence. I was actually surprised to find out that a former employer of mine, a respected CPA in the community, was doing the tax returns for a large legal grow house business within Arizona. He was in general a good guy, a strong proselytizing Evangelical Christian, but hey, money is money, right? Somehow, I couldn’t ever foresee him filing tax returns for a brothel service, legal or not. But then, who knows?…
It’s an old meme that’s been used before:
LOL. I guess his cognitive dissonance drove him to it. Bomb the babies and all that. Don’t laugh, though. You’re next.
Like your linked ad says: “And yes, it really does get you high.”
I agree on the corrupting influence of marijuana. It is hard to believe your Evangelical friend would take that work unless he strongly believes in some therapeutic value of THC. If not he is a creep. Pot is obviously a gateway drug leading to serious social problems. I mostly think it should be legal, but I don’t kid myself about the big picture.
I’m next? Looks like you’ve tried “Space Chews”. kremlinstoogeA123’s contract work for Cheech & Chong (as dealer/pusher) seems to be working! 🙂
There were a few politicos here involved in legalizing it who got straight into the business side of things afterward.
That reminds me: they legalized casinos here, and there was some motion to require them to include clocks and windows inside, but it was handily defeated.
I suppose I am just a weirdo, but have a sort of nostalgia for the old way of of things, when the sale of liquor was banned on Sundays, and the only open legal betting was on horse and dog racing.
The chemical is about the safest one available in the drug markets. What has you spooked if you are the typical ‘fraidy cat is all the users you have been acquainted with were low lifes. Cocaine is an upwardly mobile recreational drug which is far more dangerous but with glamorous press.
I saw (some of) the demystifysci interview with the German academic druggie and there were some good bits in it.
1.) He is funded by Euro pharmaceutical corporations and did not utter one word their owners and managers would not endorse.
2.) Loves ketamine. Here is how ketamine is being marketed. Effective and cheap at tranquilizing suicidal ideations. These demons do not want us killing ourselves. They groove on human sadness and misery.
No mention of ketamine component of everybody’s favorite sex criminal’s favorite concoction of (ketamine+MDMA+cocaine+pink dye). This was notable and ignorant, especially in light of #3.
Also no mention of ketamine neuron signal transmitter parallels with alcohol and PCP. This is what really interests me, particularly alcohol. When I clicked on close I was a little pissed that I had wasted my time paying attention to this fucking retard.
3.) Loves efficacy of MDMA which is far from ready for prime time only because it is very expensive in clinical adaptions. The Euro doctor Mengele protocol calls for a 48 hour supervised administration which puts it up there at the gila monster venom price range. If you have to sit in a medical clinic with Nurse Ratched collecting your vital signs every two hours. Nah, I am not interested either.
MDMA and ketamine are both researched as anti-depressants. For some odd reason I am not surprised that all these doctors and pharmaceutical sellers know so many depressed people.
4.) He has not taken LSD in many years and will never take it again. No reason given with regard to why this is. I know I have explained why this one before and do not want to be tedious.
5.) He only very rarely takes ketamine or MDMA or psilocybin any longer because these drugs are extremely strong and it is very tricky to keep the dosage small enough to make them attractive as a routine.
6.) He takes cannabis. The moderate experience is very attractive. He does not mention that all the cannabis users he has known were low class.
7.) I am being generous describing the man as a he. If he wasn’t a homo then I may be getting that cognitive impairment where you are impaired but not aware of it. Agno something.
The greatest modern cannabis media event was the interview that Joe Rogan had with Graham Hancock where Graham kept coming back over and over to his experience where he had to give up cannabis because it was destroying his life. Then around the 2:45:00 mark they smoke dope. If I was Joe Rogan I most definitely would have cut that last part off. It was a what the fuck for the ages.
Dorothy Chambers was the last woman to win her finals match at Wimbledon 6-0, 6-0. Over a hundred years ago so even her children died before her feat was replicated.
Not really.
I know there are people who can handle these mind altering drugs with some degree of control, even up to heroin.
I also know that on the face of things, THC is comparable to ethanol, just with different tradeoffs.
Nonetheless, they have evolved into a SOMA concoction (including Rx drugs) which most of us would be better off without. Instead, we need more working (challenge and mortality), more frolicking (play) and more sunning (rejuvenation).
I have always liked the idea that some of these drugs can unlock doors in the mind which are important and otherwise inaccessible. My interest waned before I went very far down that path.
There was a time when not only liquor stores, but all manner of business enterprise, were closed on Sundays.
I wasn’t aware that the Feds were now countenancing the sale of these types of drugs over the internet:
https://cheechandchong.com/products/cheech-chongs-space-chews
Well, at least kremlinstoogeA123 should feel some level of vindication in promoting these kinds of drugs within his conservative website. But why pick only on kremlinstoogeA123? Jeff Bezos has also got into the act and is promoting Cheech & Chong’s line of cannabis products, including “Space Chews”. Heck, there’s even a new triple strength version for those who wish to cruise faster than the speed of light. My bet is that this is the version that kremlinstoogeA123 personally favors. 🙂
My father told me something about this once: he said that there were once working bachelors who practically didn’t have the opportunity to see the inside of a store, and so every block had a woman who would run errands in exchange for a little money.
Sounds like an interesting system. I wonder if it incentivized men to get married.
I have never understood the appeal of Cheech and Chong. Maybe, because I didn’t know that generation of hippie.
…and Dorothy did it in high heels and a scorpion sitting on her chest. What happened to the British ladies? Or is that possibly a man?
There is no way she is wearing high heels.
Did you know the Swiss woman Miss Poland demolished two days before she destroyed the American has a Slovak passport and Slovak parents?
Is your AI chatbot driving you bonkers?
https://archive.ph/gVV89#selection-643.0-652.0
Also did you see the item on the large ketamine concentration for the dead Friends actor’s autopsy? As I recall it was blank on the coke and MDMA and pink dye. Plenty alcohol.
What the hell is the pink dye for?
I never thought about that angle (that’s why I so often enjoy reading your comments). Most folks made sure that they got all of their shopping done by Saturday.
For some reason, I don’t think that Cheech & Chong’s cultural influence was ever really appreciated by Jeff Bezos either. I think that his one motivation in life was to make more $$$. 🙂
The future was foretold in a Nov 2, 1967 episode of Dragnet called ‘The Big High’:
‘Have you been smoking Marijuana?’
1936!
The book Tell Your Children by Alex Berenson is worth reading. It is not so much about the slippery slope or gateway drug idea. More importantly, the work focusses on the significant number of people who have serious psychiatric problems caused or triggered by marijuana, perhaps from the first use.
The infomercial was made before the birth control pill and anti-psychotic meds. See comment 834.
Prior to the sixties I think the major imperative for parents was to get the girls married off ASAP so the elders didn’t have to do everything for a bunch of potentially bastard/loser grandkids. Just a normal part of K-selection.
American occupiers, critically, helped Japan take down a Russian-sponsored ninja operation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Purge
The Americans are too ashamed to mention this in their own history books, for that would be admitting that Patton’s adage “we fought the wrong enemy” applies even further in East Asia.
Russians are simply too mentally colonized to read about the Pacific War in anything other than the Western perspective.
Abe, privately, regarded Trump as a buffoon, however, respected Putin.
Japan has no ideological commitment to alliance with America, nor enmity against Russia.
Most Russians are too dull to see this, that why you are losing.
Let me first clarify that when I speak about ‘progressivism’ I’m speaking specifically about ‘Anglosphere progressivism’, which has largely displaced all other ‘progressivisms’ globally.
About the aforementioned 1967 ‘Day of the Dove’ episode of Star Trek, a series which is about as symbolically Anglosphere progressive’ as one can get, the progressives are projecting upon the ‘invading alien entity’ characteristics which are true of the modern so called ‘progressives’ themselves, ie creating hate and feeding upon it, making the ‘progressives’ stronger.
As projection, I invite you to read the linked script, which is very insightful.
For the benefit of those who might not have made the connections about the Star Trek series, it is an idealized vision of a ‘progressive’ space faring future, what they hope the United States with it’s globally patrolling aircraft carriers (one of these carriers until recently called ‘Enterprise’) might ultimately evolve into, ie a world state with a fleet of star ships patrolling the galaxy.
Anyhow, below are a few links and documents you might find of some interest in this regard:
Below is a link and excerpt from the Belcher Foundation, a site dedicated to the preservation of the memory and life work of Jonathan Belcher, a prominent British royal colonial governor of multiple colonies, founder of Princeton University, and first native born British freemason in North America.
[Though the individual who runs the site doesn’t say so, I suspect he’s a Freemason himself. Some people in his articles are ‘enlightened’, ie Freemasons, and others aren’t.
The video clip is from a 1967 British series called The Prisoner. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video clip is worth a million.]
Most are unaware that some of the heaviest hitters of the 1776 proto-Capitalist American Revolution, ie Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and, this article alleges, Ben Franklin as well, we’re also intimately involved in the 1789 proto-Communist French Revolution as well.
So one could say that US citizens who were heavily involved in the creation of Capitalism, were also involved at the very ground floor in the creation of Communism.
Capitalism and Communism are closely paralleling complimentary ideologies, both corporate based, the first with an attached artificial hyper-individualism, the latter with an attached artificial hyper-collectivism, each ultimately incomplete without the other.
Capitalist thesis, Communist anti-thesis, Globalist Multi-cultural synthesis…

‘It doesn’t matter which side…’‘..It’s run by one side or the other.’ ‘..But both sides are becoming identical. What in fact has been created, an international community, a perfect blue print for world order.’
‘As soon as America gained her independence from Great Britain (with substantial French assistance), first Franklin and then Jefferson went on missions to France where they served as nuclei around which formed a latticework of interrelated or interconnected French revolutionary leaders..’

WT Stead’s 1901 book The Americanization of the World on pg 10, 11, 12, describes how together the US/UK have three times the wealth and economic resourcesof the combined French, Russian, and German empires. Note these first chapter subheadings in regard to the US/UK and their new ‘special relationship’: ‘The United States Leads’, ‘The Decree of Destiny’, ‘The Supreme Power’, and ‘World Conquerers’.

My understanding is that the link of pot to psycho disorders appears not to be causal. That is, pot seems not to cause the psycho disorders, when genetics are considered, but rather people with genetics favoring mental illness are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, thus elevating the psycho disorder stats for pot users.

Heard Hitler and Charlie Chaplin are both big on the Subcontinent. Perhaps, it would be similar in Iraq?
I was reading a Japanese story the other day, that was written during the ’80s, and I thought it had some interesting elements compared to Hollywood or what is published here.
There was some shadowy globalist cabal, and once their man in Japan (who controlled things there) stopped following orders, they implemented an embargo on Japan.
There was also an evil East German character, and it was explained somewhere along the way that the secret globalists took out Hitler, as they felt threatened by the political system of fascism.
When Epstein went down, his good friend and house-donor Wexner turned Victoria’s Secret into a fatty/tranny show within minutes. (A different secret than one would expect, I take it.) Now he seems to have turned the dial back to normal so the heat must have died down.

Well, I think it is a natural question about both Musk and Bezos, regarding how serious they are regarding their proselytizing about space. Is it all a messianic scam, to get more out of their workers or shield them from attack by redistributionists?
I don’t know. Granted, it seems like a big coincidence that Bezos supposedly gave a valedictorian speech at his high school regarding building space colonies in orbit and turning the Earth into a national park. And I think Gerard K. O’Neill was also one of his professors in college.

It would be interesting to see Jack Webb’s politics, if he were alive today. Dragnet is perceived by many as being right wing, but I would peg him more as a progressive based on two episodes I remember.
Have you beenable to lace together these variou threads that you’ve managed to weave together into a framework of the end times referred to within Christian eschatology?
There was a woman on my block that we referred to as the cat woman, that lived right next door to the McGuires that had a house full of cats, I don’t know how many, as I never went inside of her house, to find out and count them, but I’n guessing a few dozen anyway. The cop in the video clip was right in describing the stench of urine and feces as being “unbearable”. I can still smell it today…
Here’s a photo the exact cat house model that I’ve been able to build for my three feral cats. They don’t use it much right now, but do during the cooler winter months.:
The chains of money and power can appear stronger than ideology, particularly for politicians. Maybe this is especially true if they are following a long-term plan (even generational) which requires many rivers to be crossed.
The Akie Abe visit to Russia is intriguing. Debt of honor, courtesy or something else?
Does Thulean know about these e-bike fires?
Was under the impression that many brought the battery in during the winter and stored it by the exit.
People suspected Victoria’s Secret was a very androgynous tranny show long before Epstein was in the news. Many of the models were too tall, skinny and angular (with fake boobs) to be genuine female sexual icons. The notion is they were an extremely subversive promotion of the tranny ideal.
Don’t forget that Trump was an advocate of a transgender contestant in the Miss Universe pageant.
In 1967 the people still thought they were running the country and the world and saving Vietnamese from nasty communists. Boy that sure didn’t last long. Maybe for one Christmas bombing, one Tet, one My Lai, and one Kent State. We got to here really fast.
Have they gotten the Gaza off of the Tiktok yet?

The British ogre female looks like the standard good-old English species, as they age one can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman. Maybe it’s the English men wearing high heels. Flood them with the Pakis before they do more harm to themselves…
You sure do seem to like rock music from the 60’s and 70’s. Any other eclectic pursuits that you picked up from your father along the way?
Japan is driven by extreme fear and conformism. Sometimes they get so scared they start suicide missions. Most of the time they just obey…so it makes no difference what is in their minds or their lack of formal ideology. They respect everyone until they are told not to…Abe was the same but had one ball left so they shot him, he stood out…
The French, Germans, Swedes, Poles, none of them admitted to their enmity to Russia, yet they lost millions of people and mini-empires invading Russia. Whose turn is it?
I always leave my feral cats at home, when I’m out and about. 🙂

On the one hand, I really appreciate how the local subway can get quite hot in summer – or even as late as October. But the Spanish grid strategy doesn’t seem to be the most stable.

Some Japanese interpretations of the European side of WW2 must also be different to the European ones. I seem to remember someone posting something about some Japanese presenting a copy of the Protocols… to a Jewish or Israeli delegation, and it was intended genuinely, as a tribute to Jewish political skill. I may have seen it in some YT video?
Trump has successfully bought a couple months: (1)
Europe has picked up 95%+ of funding Europe’s proxy war against Russia. How many billions of €uros will that be over the next couple months? At least €10B, mostly from Germany and France. And Tariffs are Coming for the EU.
Congress should be able to pass the Recession Bill and hopefully next year’s budget before the establishment has another opportunity to press. Time is on Trump’s and Putin’s side. Midterm electioneering has already started with war hawks McConnell and Tillis not seeking another term. Texas is headed towards a competitive primary that will keep Cornyn in line.

As things are a little bit slow here today, I thought that I’d peruse the ever popular “The Last Refuge” again and see what other tid bits of wisdom that I might have missed from yesterday’s excursion.
In an apparent show of solidarity, kremlinstoogeA123 reprinted a Fox News story about the “conservative” broadcaster Dana Perino’s problems related to her being sacked for promoting her own brand of CBD gummies. Apparently, seeing a good business opportunity and not wanting to be outdone by Cheech & Chong, she’s launched her own addition to this line of produt, that she claims is far superior to anytihng else out there in the market. An 84 year old “profesor” claims that his hole lie has turned around for the better, especially his memory problems from taking this product:

The Ukraine mess is still 95% a US war. Trump is pretending to negotiate an end to a war which only exists because of US policies since 1991. Europe is now almost an intermediate-tier proxy to the US. Maybe Trump wants to stop the fighting, maybe not. It looks more like he originally wanted to make geopolitical points by ending the war but now has realized his position was untenable and ending the war on terms favorable to the USA is impossible. In that case he wants to win the war. I don’t think Team Trump recognizes the war is existential for Russia in general and probably the RusFed project in particular.
The 500% sanctions would be an economic disaster for the West if taken seriously. This seems most likely a threat to force China and India to choose sides. The 100% after 50 days is a nice walk-back. DJT: “Did I say 50 days? I meant 500 days ;)”
Europe will prefer to build their own weapons locally rather than paying US MIC crime syndicates to supply them. I expect US MIC lobbyists and shysters are trying to ink as many deals as possible before Euro countries flip. It is unclear which US weapons systems are top tier and/or a good value.

What is the latest on Brooke Rollins explicitly undermining deportation of invaders?
There is a zone of the world in which facial hair is perceived as being more masculine and desirable and is much more common. It wouldn’t surprise me if this formed a small part of Hitler’s appeal in these regions – his truncated mustache making him seem more iconic or appealing than many other Western figures.
I am not sure about Uzbekistan though. I think shaving might be encouraged there to a certain extent in the drive against radicalism.
In a general sense, much of East Asian fiction seems to be less Manichean. The villains often seem only slightly evil (though not in every case) or even can switch to being comrades of the protagonist. Wouldn’t be surprised if this plays into historical interpretation.
I think there is also a certain amount of admiration for German culture and a belated fellow-feeling about the old alliance, even if it wasn’t necessarily well-formed at the time.
I referenced that once here. It is a funny story. It was a Japanese translation gifted to Hebrew University in 1978.
On the one hand, Bezos seems like he lifts.
But one can argue that he is somehow cowed by feminism or something else by not seeking a younger wife.

Why do you give a free pass to Not-a-Jew Merkel? She is proud that she tanked the Minsk Agreements.
Why do you give free passes to Not-a-Jew BoJo and Not-a-Jew Scholz? They undermined the Istanbul talks that could have ended the fighting in a matter of days.
Why do you give a free pass to Not-a-Jew Macron. He was the #1 puppet master ordering the prior White House occupant’s Ukraine policy.
Is the U.S. “pure as the driven snow”? Of course not. Go back over a decade and you can find problems created by Obama’s team. Go back further and the issues of NATO expansion are obvious.
However if you want to address the immediate issue, not the background — This is not Trump’s War. This is not America’s war — It is Europe’s Folly. Supporting MAGA is the only way out. Do you really want to join arm-in-arm with the Neocons, throwing shared stones at the only person suggesting disengagement?
Yes, Strategic Ambiguity is messy. It involves Trump talking about things that will never come to pass. By stating “50 Days” he backburnered Lindsey Graham’s initiative for that long. Instead of panicking, take the incremental battle win for what it is.
You seem to have this desperate need to Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory. How is this helpful as an approach?
Look at actions instead — How much was in the BBB for Kiev agression? Officially ZERO. Remember, U.S. Presidental elections impose binary outcomes. Would you rather have:

Belinda Bencic was born in Switzerland. She ain’t any more Slovak than I am. Her parents thought they were on a Breznev enemies list and exiled their ass before she was born. The American woman from New Jersey whose parents were refugees from the Soviet block is an interesting interview subject. She is as American as violence and cherry pie.
Did they put Bencic all over the TV in Bratislava?
The cannabis infused his mind with gumption to go out and get some sun on his balls. This is not rocket science. It’s a long and winding road.
It’s a sensitive subject, and people who might want to set up a world state can read, too, in regards to Biblical prophecy. In theory someone could try to make certain events appear to follow biblically foretold prophecies.
It seems they may be pretty close, with an impending WWIII, to establishing a world state, once the war concludes. How far they might go to present some world leader figure as all things to all people is difficult to say, ie to Christians they might say this man is the returning Jesus Christ, to Moslems the Twelth Imam, to Jews their Messiah, etc, when in reality this person might not be any of those things.
Many Christians have long thought the ‘False Messiah’, ie the ‘Anti-christ’, would be a seemingly likeable and amicable, at least at first, Jewish guy, as the Jewish people would never accept a non-Jew as their saviour.
Within the idea of the United States paralleling ancient Rome, Jared Kushner parallels Julius Caesar in certain ways. See first link below.
Below that is an article by James True about Kushner from about 2019, which unlike before you could link directly, too, for free, but now you have to pay. I’d copied the article prior so it’s all there. True also compares Kushner to a modern day Julius Caesar.
I’ve topped it off with a maybe AI generated video about Kushner. A horde of them have appeared lately. It includes the 666 W 5th Ave property Jared insisted on having even though it was an albatross/financial black hole property.
Is Jared Kushner the biblically foretold ‘Anti-Christ’?
I can’t say, but he does seem worthy of keeping at least one eye on him.
I hope this is of some use.

Post 868 was meant as a reply to you, Mr Hack.
She is not well known. But you don’t understand the dynamic: blood matters in Europe, people stay who they are and the language they speak at home, the endless relatives in the home country – Belinda is from a big village outside Brat famous for duck pate…
Brezhnev had no enemies list, he was focused on eating. But you are confused, people who left were looking for year-round bananas, more napkins, servile waiters, easy “flirtations”. They found all of it in Switzerland and New Jersey…except the last part. But it was too late for most so they spun mad stories. Are you one of them?
New Jersey sounds like a sh…hole where people go to disappear and get really fat. But to each his own…
Probably, so. He was also the creator of Adam-12.
I’d heard he’d observed a lot of what he saw as undeserved abuse by the public on the police and hence his sympathetic Fuzz friendly TV. 😉

I’ve been pretending to be fluent in Japanese for over a year and now I’m terrified of being exposed.
So, in the city I live in, we have a few Japanese visitors and some locals will casually sprinkle Japanese phrases into conversations. I don’t speak Japanese beyond “hello” and “thank you” but I got tired of feeling left out. One day, I just jumped in with a half-remembered phrase I found online.
Somehow, it worked. People started thinking I was fluent.
Now, every time Japanese comes up, I nod confidently, drop a random word or two, and smile like I know exactly what’s going on. I’ve even pretended to translate Japanese characters once or twice by copying and pasting from Google Translate and tweaking things a bit.
I’m absolutely terrified someone will…
And its mind boggling to contemplate all of the alleged benefits of taking these CBD gummies:
And no mention of needing to sun your balls to avail yourself of these healthy attributes!
The Japanese are duplicitous in nature.
Within hours of Putin been re-elected, there were trucks out on the streets of Tokyo celebrating his hard fought victory.
Your nation is filled with degenerates.
Google translate it.
The Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) is in New Jersey. (Defunct) Bell Labs was in New Jersey.
Edison’s Menlo Park Lab was in New Jersey.
But I am pretty sure you would hate it.
The medicine and drug and health industries do not want us healthy. They want us to be sick. This is why they never talk about getting sun on your balls.
Right, looks like sh..t. When are they getting colors? East Germany was colorized in 1989…
I have visited Princeton, an ugly provincial hole…the train to NY had wooden seats from 1880 or so…sh..thole.
These mental gymnastics are hilarious because Japan was an Anti-White empire that planned on betraying Nazi Germany after the war ended.
Here’s a cool quote of when the Japanese congratulated the USSR on defeating the Nazis;
The Japanese are duplicitous in nature and the Germans knew it!
“It is sheer mockery to see this bestial machine pose as the vanguard of anti-Communism.”

I appreciate strategic ambiguity and recognize this is a crucial part of Trump’s game plan. I hope it works.
I also appreciate this war might stop in a month without US satellite and other intel, not to mention the off-budget funding which is obviously substantial. I don’t think people appreciate how important satellite warnings are for the Ukies.
Ritter recently had a piece debunking the idea that it is not Trump’s war, pointing out that many of the important US Ukraine policies in play during Biden’s term were simply continuations of things implemented during Trump’s term.
I never kept up with these Euro puppets you like to mention. I am certainly not letting them off the hook and recommend they all be arrested for gross negligence and incompetence, at best.
I think Trump is playing with fire on this Ukraine mess by not taking his lumps and simply shutting it down. He can do better but does not want to. If this flares out of control MAGA will be for naught. Shutting the project down will be good for Ukrainians as well and save a great many lives. Sigh.
I have been saying Jared is Damien since he first surfaced.
I used to have a thing for Jersey girls. The ones I dated were attractive, sexy and intelligent.
More duplicitous than Germans, French or Brits? That would be something…
The biggest question about WW2: why didn’t Japan attack Russia from the east? They held Manchuria, Korea and Sakhalin, they had millions of soldiers…and they never attacked. Why?
Short answer Nomonhan.
Nomonhan (also known as the site of the battles of Khalkhin Gol), where Russia defeated Japan in 1939, which changed the course of the war.
Japan and Nazi Germany may have won WW2 were it not for the battles that happened right there for 135 days. Incredibly this episode of the war is virtually untaught in the West, maybe because it didn’t involve the West.
During WW2 Northeast of China had been invaded and annexed by Japan, transformed into a puppet state called Manchukuo. Nomonhan is in the extreme West of this former puppet state (which is now back to being Northeast China), on the border with Mongolia and the former Soviet Union (now the Russian border).
At the time, 1939, Japan’s basic strategy for the war was “Northward Advance” (Hokushin-ron), i.e. seizing Siberia for its resources as far as Lake Baikal.
The USSR obviously begged to differ and they sent General Zhukov (the future Marshal of the Soviet Union) on site to fight the Japanese back.
Long story short, the battles that ensued – with 200,000 soldiers on the battlefield – lasted 135 days and were the earliest large-scale 3-dimensional warfare in military history. It ended in a humiliating Japanese defeat which some Japanese historians call “the greatest defeat in the history of the Japanese army”, with 54,000 casualties.
The most important consequence of the battles that were fought there is that the Japanese completely changed their strategy from “Northward Advance” to “Southward Advance”, favoring seizing the resources of Southeast Asia instead of those of Siberia.
Masanobu Tsuji, the Japanese colonel most instrumental in these battles became “the most determined single protagonist in favor of war with the United States” and one of the strongest proponents of the attack on Pearl Harbor inside the Japanese army (according to postwar testimonies), having been so traumatized by his experience of fighting the Russians. The US was of course the biggest power the Japanese would have to confront by pursuing the “Southward Advance” strategy since only the US Pacific Fleet stood in the way of seizing the oil-rich Dutch East Indies.
In fact the Nomonhan battles traumatized the Japanese so much that they didn’t dare fight the Russians again for the remainder of WW2. Even when their ally Nazi Germany opened the Eastern front the Japanese army adopted a resolution “not to intervene in German Soviet war for the time being”, leaving Hitler to fight the Soviet Union on his own, which would ultimately prove to be his demise.
So it’s no exaggeration to say that had the battles there not been fought or had the Japanese won, WW2 would have most likely turned out dramatically different. Pearl Harbor wouldn’t have happened, and Japan would have likely helped Nazi Germany fight the Soviet Union by opening a front to the East.
Nomonhan may in fact have been the most consequential battle of WW2, it turned the Japanese into 尺e七a尺ds.
They have 90% of a New York social economy and only 20% of a New York megalomania. Also there are bonus dimension vacations in Ongs Hat.
There is not that much available in the black budget. It is a difficult source to use when buying large traceable items or substantial amounts of war material.
ROTFLMAO — Yet more proof that Ritter is incompetent. Thanks for the humor.
Trump had one-and-only-one package over $100 million. And, it was obviously tied to domestic considerations driven by the now debunked impreachement threat.
Puppet master Macron’s directives, obeyed by Team Biden, included 2,000%+ increase in funding. Trying to misportray that as any type of ‘continuation’ is ludicrous to the point of comedy. It was obviously a radical change in formulation. Europe reduced the U.S. to serve as their proxy for 4 years.
These European puppet masters were pulling all the strings. Failure to keep up with key non-Jewish decision makers has led you badly astray.
Trump does not have MAGA majorities in the House and Senate. Thus, he needs to keep some establishment war hawks on side. MAGA policies will suffer across the board without appropriations and confirmations. The unfortunate truth is that Trump *cannot* simply shut it down without losing control of Congress.
The BBB provided ZERO for Kiev aggression. Early line is that next year’s budget will also contain at or near zero. Making the European puppet masters carry 95%+ of the expense for Europe’s Folly will eventually lead to its collapse. Alas, only the European masters can order their antisemitic proxy, Führer Zelensky, to stop.
PEACE 😇
This is the guy who presented the sun on your balls science on Huberman. If you saw that you probably can skip this.
That’s one with the 1947 copus in Eastern Europe and the deluge of armanents sent to the Maoists to defeat China.

Getting NATO to ramp up the war and pay the US for the weapons is a huge step backward. In some trivial ways it may be an inspired deal, but only if one is eager for WW3.
Most of the NATO and US policy makers are visibly STUPID. The problem with ratcheting up the rhetoric and the weapons supplies and thinly-veiled NATO deployments is the chance of something terrible happening increases. In quotes from Trump’s speech, Finland’s increasing involvement was mentioned by name. This will be a terrible development. The fifty day window may be to give China time to decide what to do. Of course the US can’t make very many heavy weapons in two months, though we can deliver a lot of drones.
I wonder if the Kremlin will change pace and now quickly take everything East of the river, either by Ukrainian capitulation on a city by city basis or through no-nonsense heavy bombing? Then make an agreement to the effect that Kiev will be left alone as long as there is no NATO in the remaining Ukraine, ever. This increased tempo will obviously lead to more naked NATO strikes directly on Russian territory. Will that lead Russia to start destroying relevant US satellites? That is a tricky move as well since the US has a lot more satellites. In a tit-for-tat satellite exchange Moscow loses, so their best course would be to wipe out many US satellites all at once to leave the US somewhat unprotected by eyes in the sky.
There are many ways to escalate the conflict but only one way for Trump to end it: Yankee go home.
You are correct, the Russia-Japan war in summer of 1939 was in many ways decisive.
There is one important fact to add: Molotov-Ribbentrop Treaty was negotiated and signed as this battle was fought and Japan was completely betrayed by Germany – Japan was invading Russia-Siberia and Germany instead of helping signed a peace treaty with Moscow. Japan never trusted Germany again.
Sometimes the ugliest moves are strategically the smartest: M-R was an act of genius, Russia gained time to get ready, liberated Belorussians-Ukies from Polish rule, saved 1 million Jews evacuated by the Soviets – they would be killed by Germans, and took Japan out of the war with Russia.
What’s not to like? No wonder the ever-bitter Russia-haters are forever whinging about M-R…it took away their planned victory. Russia simply outplayed them.
Most Type 2 diabetics last 4-5 years on Metformin before being shifted to insulin. I managed 18 years due to fairly good dietary control. I lost 30 kg over the period and was quite thin by the end and for a 73 year old muscular. After my cardiac arrest (lost 8.5kg of muscle duringmy coma) I was put on to insulin. I gained 17 kg in three months. I have checked that now but I am desperate to return to metformin. I am being refused because my kidneys are only just working (although this is an estimate). Long term use of metformin clogs the kidneys.
While we are on the subject of diabetic drugs, beacuse I was well controlled I was one of the first people in Wales to be put on Ozempic (at diabetic doses). The effect on blood glucose compared to metformin was unnoticeable. I lost about 3kg which immediately cam on again. Probably all fluid. The side effects were awful I came off after 12 months. At the time, the permitted course of treatment was 14 months. They were still wary of long term effects.
One of Putin’s preparations for war was to build a factory to make insulin. I met the Dane who managed the project. He was heartbroken to leave Russia. He was staying on at his own expense to look for a job. Medical supplies have not been sanctioned. Lessons were learnt from Iraq. The elite were provided for. Only the commoners suffered.
Yeah, it is a matt ferrell video.
the idea has been around since virtually the inception of subways, but I don’t think it started to be implemented in them until the ’70s.
Barcelona had a lot of newish track back then, which probably made it easier. But I am not really clear what sets it apart from other systems. Maybe, 100% implementation?
I think AI would be pretty tied to space. The automation would be necessary to make it possible. One can’t fit the world economy in a box – but automation can cram a lot of stuff in that wouldn’t fit otherwise.
And data overflows to the point where manual sifting becomes impossible.
Imo, a space-faring society would inevitably be one with mass compute and heavy automation, which makes some of the common ideas about aliens seem silly. (No, they won’t need to listen to radio, to know we are here! )
It seems that way in Europe already.
Thought the consensus was Zainichi Chūgokujin.
We’re all pleased to hear that you’re hanging in there. A lot of new information and ideas regarding insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is coming to the fore every day. Many folks (millions) are managing these sorts of problems through diet and exercise. I think that these options are the least detrimental in the long run, and if they work (and for many they do), they should be fully explored first before any pharmaceutical drugs are used. I’m aware that for many, metformin can be a godsend, and usually carries the least amount of side effects. I wasn’t aware of the deleterious effects that metformin can cause to the kidneys – thanks for the heads up.
There has been some talk of policewomen recently after the UK incident.
I think one needs a few for dealing with women and children, but there is an egalitarian impulse to seek parity and promote them, and this is taking things too far.
What non-U.S. sources are meant by NATO in this context?
NATO = Germany, France, UK. Forcing Europe to pay for 95%+ of Kiev aggression is a huge step forward.
Most of the non-U.S. NATO policy makers are visibly STUPID. The key non-U.S. decision makers include France (Not-a-Jew Macron) and Germany (Not-Jews Merkel/Scholz/Merz). You need to prioritize these IslamoGloboHomo puppet masters and their ability to openly control the prior White House occupant.
Sadly, the complexity of American politics prevent such an overly simplistic approach. While a useful aspirational goal… What you demand is, at a practical level, unavailable.
Trump cannot keep MAGA alive & prosperous without non-MAGA establishment GOP war hawk votes in Congress. The next opportunity to change that math is 1½ years away. Until then, Trump has to play the cards he has in his hand.
It is unreasonable to expect 100% of absolutely everything. Instantly!
Is ZERO in the BBB for Kiev aggression in 100% of absolutely everything? Of course not. However, it is a reasonable step forward.
Will ZERO in the 2026 budget for Kiev aggression be 100% of absolutely everything? Of course not. However, it is a reasonable step forward.
Let me offer you some constructive advice — Instead of going into ultra-negative panic mode over the lesser policies you are not getting… You would do better by celebrating the MAGA victories that are being delivered.
PEACE 😇
I think this is a modern view that continually increasing complexity is irreplaceable, but I disagree. A high percentage of modern innovations are not very useful. Many of them are promoted to work around artificial supply problems or to create obsolescence to sell new stuff. A great many are in the “cheaper and almost as good” category. Your comments highlight the great question of what is the minimum population for a fully sustainable space colony, the size that allows arbitrary growth instead of burn out after a few generations?
However, some innovations are mandatory or at least extremely helpful. Nonetheless, humans could presumably colonize the solar system with 1975 technology (mature Apollo).
On the other hand, if one wants to embrace the complexity then let’s get space colonization off to a running start. How about 100,000 colonists leave Earth per year starting 2030? If no one wants to leave we can deport people, Botany Bay and all that; be doing them a favor. With AI and robotics nothing is standing in the way of this. All prices are now funny money based on hoarding and artificial scarcity. By 2050 we can be sending generational ships to the ten nearest stars. What are we waiting for?
Getting NATO to pay for the weapons to be used in Ukraine might be a good move if it were sincere and could be expected to collapse the European economies. Instead, I expect some weird international debt-fueled mess to lead to the creation of many new weapons in both Europe and the USA.
I like MAGA, but I don’t have your commercial supplies of CBD/THC to get me through the Trump rough spots.
I agree we got off to a good start on the border and the DOGE rhetoric. It remains to be seen if the tariff games will pan out. I hope they do, but this will take several years to show. I doubt your midterm dreams will benefit from tariffs.
I like the pushback against trannies and wokeness.
Unfortunately, the same criminal connections which allow Trump to be elected leave him fully ensnared in a complex web.
These are huge:
– The Epstein bait and switch is disappointing.
– The 500,000 H1B’s are disappointing.
– The very hawkish pro-Ukraine rhetoric is disappointing.
– The BBB is ridiculous as far as I can tell.
You’re still a spring chicken, keep commenting!

Some allege that ‘artsy’ types can be more ‘tuned in’ to spiritual things.
Damien Omen III: The Final Conflict was released on March 20, 1981.
Jared Kushner was born a couple of months earlier, on January 10, 1981.

For a real twist…
Sam Neill, who played Damien, would nine years later as second in command of the ‘Red October’, be paired up with the on board Soviet political officer Putin, who met an untimely end in a plot which also (albeit briefly) touched upon an ‘end times’ theme.

For years I thought de Valera was a Gaelic name. 🤣
De Valera’s father was a very shadowy figure. No known marriage or birth record. Was he really Spanish? (One might almost wonder at the odds of it) Would like to see the family take a DNA test.
Valentia Island does sound a bit Spanish. Famous for being amenable to the growth of many exotic plants, due to its mild climate.

Another name that use to confuse me was Costello.
The Joe Costello Experience.
Huberman’s dead bulldog was named Costello. The first 30 times he mentioned Costello I thought he was talking about his boyfriend and I didn’t know he was straight until Kerry Howley’s epic New York magazine article.
Have you also visited Valencia Island? 🙂
Good current information about how sunlight (infra red light) can benefit ones eyesight, especially as one ages. Also, a good review of how sunlight can be an overall excellent tonic for whatever might ail you. This video has inspired me to spend 2 days out of the week doing my laps in an outdoor pool.

Subversive promotion of the WNBA, perhaps? Anyway, personally I strongly prefer slim women to fat women, though the SI swimsuit issue is more to my taste. Models are famously clothes hangers first of all. Or used to be. Now you never know what you get.
Advocacy of a tranny Miss Universe contestant is deplorable. Shame on Trump if this was the case. I can’t say I heard of it.
Lauren Sanchez (Bezos) has to be a lot of fun. That’s my only explanation.
Women have the unfortunate penchant for viewing street criminals as alphas, which is bad for policing and the system of criminal justice in general.
Ah, yes, Costello is a very funny one – an Irish name that ends in “o.”. I have been confused by it myself sometimes.
Here is the funny part about it – Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello seems to have popularized it as an Italian name, but he actuallly took it as a stage name. It wasn’t his real name.
The story he told about how he got the name was that he took it from the actress Helene Costello, whose father, Maurice, was Irish. Actually, his brother who was a musician, started using the name before him.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helene_Costello
I have heard it is much more common as an Irish name than an Italian one. Are there any real Italians with it? I don’t know…. Have never known one IRL.
There are a lot of interesting or confusing Irish names, due to Anglicization. It may seem like petty differences to some, but it can be very hard to guess who is Irish and who is English from the surname, sometimes. I grew up with a lot of people who I had no idea had Irish surnames, and they may have favored me due to ethnic bias.
I was quite surprised to learn the native pronounciation of my surname, local to where they came from. There are sounds in there that I have never seen in the spelling, even the old spelling. There were a few unrelated septs across Ireland, and one of the sounds, doesn’t exist in other areas.
