Is It Fall Yet?

 

No, it is not. A great friend and force of Reckonin’ emailed me a Faulkner quote recently about those few magical days that come along in August with a cool hint of the approaching autumn. I replied to her that while I used to relish those days, sadly, these days, I just drift right through them unaware. I may have missed them again, though it’s hard to tell. The pleasant-looking (in a light, at an angle) suburban small town where I exist is caught in a slew of 100-degree-ish days and concurrent warm, sticky nights. 

Hello, it’s another excuse for a column. Quality will improve tomorrow, maybe in two months or thirty degrees. Etc. 

I drafted two full alternatives to this ramble, but I simply could not pull the trigger on either of them. The first was a socioeconomic assessment of the lyrics of “Rich Men North of Richmond.” The second was a follow-up fictional report from your CSA Ambassador to Russia. The latter dealt with the subject matter of the former, set against the 2023 BRICS+ meeting in Johannesburg. I had not previously (seriously) contemplated the possibility of a preemptive ticket-taking plant, though I am unsurprised by it. The meeting in SA is, of course, very real. It’s of great importance to those out in the free world and of great consternation to the “rich men.” 

My news feed has a hiccup! I swear I saw a rehashing of a rerun about Donald Trump being indicted for something or another. At the gym, I imagined that one of the CIA-installed morons on the TeeVee was again stupidly saying, “If we don’t do something, we’re going to LOSE OUR RePubLiC!!!” [Note: If one cannot find a remote control, then a curl bar works just fine to silence the blathering nonsense.]

Langley’s lackey wasn’t entirely wrong about needing to do something. As such, I have a crazy idea. I need to think through it some more and refine it for publication. In brief detail, I figure what we need is what I call an “election.” Hear me out. Just the basics. What I envision is dredging the country and finding a couple of the lowest, dumbest, wickedest heathens in this strange, nation-shaped kind of place between Mexico and Canada. Then we let the great unwashed vote for one of them to lead our dead country. After that, regardless of what the hoi polloi decide, we let a computer and a mailbox pick whichever rodent is best suited to serve as head puppet for the “rich men.” Crazy, I know. But just think about it. Had we tried something like this before, we might not be where we are today. The near-mathematical certainty of an alternative that I foresee, as expressed quasi-mathematically, looks something like: (The Rwandan Genocide x The Yugoslav Civil War)^The Partition of India.

I heard something called “Covid” was making the rounds at airports and college campuses. It appears to be some sort of religious icon or possibly a demi-god. It has potential voters donning festive face coverings, gibbering about what I take for a Jonestown kind of poison, and/or stepping and fetching like a bunch of slaves without a future. I have never heard of anything like this before, yet I suppose this “Covid” might be the robot’s choice for a political savior. We’ll keep an eager eye on it, that’s for sure. On a related note, where the hell is Marvin? Something wrong with the AI? Thought he’d be heard by now. Watch. The. Skies.

In sci-fi, fantasy geopolitical news, Brandon the AI, Voldemort Zelenski, and some of the “rich men” have a plan to ship 10 aging F-16s to the former Ukraine. Maybe it was 60 of them. Or 600. Kiev (pronounced, with a lisp, “kEEEEEEEEy-Vsp”) has five pilots qualified to fly them. Or they will be qualified after they qualify. How would that work? Well, it’s technical. It’s some “Ghost of kEEEEEEy-Vsp” wizardry that I suppose would see each pilot operating multiple targets planes at once. When asked for commentary on the matter, one V. Putin muttered something about 30,000 SAMs and then laughed until he walked off, beat up a pack of wolves, ate some glass, roared, killed a few men by staring at them, and looked ten trillion times more presidential than this “Covid,” whatever the hell it is again.

Anything substantive? I am reading a few books, per my usual bad habit. One is by an author I like, but which isn’t necessarily his best work. In fact, I think it was his first novel. All things being equal, it’s equal. I’m inching towards the midpoint of just-released, posthumous Eschatological Optimism by the late, lovely, and thoughtful Daria “Platonova” Dugina. I told another friend I planned to review it in some capacity. This is not the review, perhaps just a preview. It’s a most interesting read, especially for an Aristotlenova. I suspect I am an Optimist of the kind she describes, though my views and reasoning are a little different than those she defined. All of these ideas, however, play well in the head.

I’ll save my favorite quote, so far, for another time. Instead, I’ll close with a cursory look at the topic of the second section, “The Feminine Principle.” While differentiating between what passes for feminism in the dying West and what the ladies live in Russia, Dugina lands on the fascinating concept of Christian Feminism. To give one an idea of the magnitude of the difference, she earlier addresses the fact women are not allowed on Palestine’s Holy Mount by writing, “There is something right about this.” It’s not a statement or principle that professors at Barnard would approve. Thus, there is something right about it. 

What she discusses, in higher apophatic terms, sounds to me like what I have also heard in more common words from the sweet lips of other Russian women, and younger women in the city at that. We’ll credit the amazing Eli from Russia’s EweTube channel with a video interview or three with some attractive Moscovites. Almost all of them claim to be “feminists”, and then proceed to expound upon the virtues of womanly femininity (of which their personal appearances and demeanor extol anyway without words) while also expressing a love affair appreciation for masculine men. Dugina explains the plain phenomenon, which will surely confound the Western feminist, by saying Russian (feminist) women saved the Russian Patriarchy(!) when it threatened to fall upon hard times. She mentions a dislike of inter-sex warring and the existence of communication and harmony between Russian men and women. In other words, they approach life and love in an honest, rational, and traditional way. 

None of this pleases the “rich men.” And before they destroyed America, we used to have a similar practical view of romance, life, and just being. Maybe after the next hoax, any of you still standing could try to revert to those better ways.

That is a wrap for this week.

Deo vindice!

UPDATE: They may be down to just 2 of those pilots.

REPORT to the American People

Hon. Perrin Lovett, Acting Ambassador

 

My Dearest Fellow Americans:

Мы – живая история нашего собственного будущего! That, of course, is Russian for “We are the living history of our own future!” Though we pause to remember the additional 611,895 heritage Americans who departed us last year without replacement, let 1859 lie where she may. Our time is now. 

It is with the greatest pride and pleasure that I report to you from the energized heart of the civilized world. Greetings. Specifically, it has been my high honor and enlightened entertainment to represent you this week at the Army-2023 International Weapons Show and Forum at the impressive Patriot Congress and Exhibition Center and Alabino-Kubinka military facilities. I offer many thanks to the RUS-MOD and Rosoboronexport for hosting this grand event. And I thank you for heeding my previous calls for resource modernization and alliance building. Your forward-thinking and perseverance will be well rewarded. [I have sent an encoded diplomatic communiqué to the appropriate government offices and officials.]

First, my only regret is that I was not joined by any liaison from the CSA-MOD, perhaps because such does not exist. Regardless, were they real and had they attended, they would have enjoyed an almost unbelievable experience. 

In all honesty, I have a second regret. For some reason, my courteous hosts assessed my dozen or so hours behind the yoke of a Cessna 172 some 25 years ago as insufficient experience necessary to pilot the awe-inspiring SU-57. While they all agreed my takeoffs and landings from PDK and adjacent travels about Hotlanta (fo-o-fo, ah, yeah!) did count as combat flight experience, it was driven home to me — a painful realization — I am unqualified for command of such an exotic bird. While I drowned my sorrows in a deep mug of Nevskoe Imperial, I instead watched as a professional performed aerial acrobatics to beat the band. I am utterly in love with these people, but they are a tad on the insane side. A double sonic boom-generating low buzz almost caused me to spill my lager! However, the following show more than compensated for my shock. In addition to being very fast, the “Felon” is well-equipped for its operational mission. We watched a reportedly live demonstration from a neighboring country of an air-launched KH-38 attack, allegedly against ZATO forces in Lviv. In addition to being very fast and very deadly, she’s also very graceful and beautifully agile. She can stand still, vertically. And, yes, she can both “walk” and “waltz”. 

Before they gave me beer, I was allowed to drive a brand new T-14 a short distance over an obstacle course. This was followed by firing the automated 125 mm smoothbore at a test target I designated “Yankee Small Hat”. Humoring my aloof giddiness and enthusiastic tipsiness, they guided me through one amazing demonstration after another. [His Excellency, the Council, the Senate, and the MOD-GS will pay special attention to my report on the S-300-36D6, Pantsir-S1E, S-400+, 3M22, KH-47, 9K720, and associated systems.]

The hyperventilation generated by these toys aside, I was primarily assigned to inspect various ISR, EW, and tactical battlefield radar systems. [The short video attached to my BIG REPORT is of me actively peering inside a sealed hanger via the use of a 1L111M Fara-VR platform. Through the disturbing clarity, please note the green crosshair markers, indicative of real-time fire control and targeting ability. The longer video is degraded live footage from Mariupol, 2022, and a real demonstration of those combat capabilities.] [The “Guinea Hunt” file is a degraded audio/visual/EM record compilation of the 7/2023 interaction between next-gen microwave EW based, I believe, off a SU-27 against a hapless F(You)-35; imagine that scenario all the way to the unforgiving sea.]

Not that we have an enemy to fight, per se, but if we did, then we would be ready. Our future, well-planned by all of you, is secure. 

Throughout my days and nights (and the show is still in progress as I report) here, I made multiple friends from some of the sixty-plus nations represented. “Zone B” is the future, the wide world of growth, peace, and prosperity; Americans of the CSA are wise to join the march deep into the 21st Century. Traveller, barbeque, TikTok pickin’, demographic stability, industrial-agricultural integration, modern weapons, and a stable currency will see our grandchildren’s future guaranteed. 

Regarding the subject of money, it is my pleasure to meet later this week with executives of the CBR, Gosbank, and their Chinese counterparts to establish the direct linkage between our currency and the rising permanent replacement of the MIR-SIPs gold-petro-Ruble. Again, this development is only possible because you, all of you, have been proactive rather than watching statues fall while electing Judas Party women, foreigners, and blowhard morons. And again, your efforts will pay off.

Because of our dynamic, living (not collapsing and dying – 611K, RIP) demographics, our armaments, and our industrial financial capabilities, I will, this very fall, venture to China for the third annual BRI-BRF conference and planning session. While we remain adamantly committed to debt-free, unentangled progress and cooperation, Dixie can and will have the finest air, road, rail, port, and socio-industrial infrastructure in the Western Hemisphere. I estimate that by the end of this decade, your healthy family of ten will be able to transit our great land, border to border, should you desire, within a matter of ground-based hours, all for less than the price of a single airline ticket from Charlotte, CSA to NYC, GAE. The sky really is the limit, though we will soon push the terrestrial envelope on electrified steel tracks. For driving fanatics, I will soon release the full plan for both GAZ and KAMAZ factories within the Southland, with information on possible Hongqi developments to follow. For now, think high-paying jobs and a better-than-Corolla ride at essentially half the price. Soon, my wise, stalwart friends. 

Alas, I must return to my pleasant duties. As always, I leave you with the reminder that,

Бог – наш защитник! ~ Deo vindice!

Your dedicated servant,

Perrin Lovett

*”Ambassador’s” Note: Some of the foregoing, of course, is fictional. For instance, no one maintains an office on the 61st floor of a 60-story building. Also, we know darn well they’d let me fly her. Right? They would, right? Eh…

COLUMN: A Review of SCHOOL FOR GENIUS

A Review of SCHOOL FOR GENIUS

 

What’s genius got to do with it?! What did Tina Turner have in common with Boston’s Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge? That’s right! Sensing the impending final chapter of American history approaching, the late, talented, and wise Turner removed herself to Switzerland, settling comfortably in a magnificent chateau just down the lake shore from a school most Americans may not have heard of. And one will literally drive over the engineering legacy of that same school as one heads north on I-93, passing TD’s new Garden, perhaps lamenting the loss of the old Garden, and slowly realizing the Red Tavern up in Methuen has been closed for twenty years.

Hello. It’s another book review. Today we briefly examine School For GENIUS: The Story Of The ETH – The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, from 1855 to the Present, Front Street Press, (2005/6). ETH, short for the Allemand “Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule,” is that famed engineering school in Zurich with which some might not be familiar. It’s also sometimes referred to simply as “the Poly.” It is Switzerland’s and Europe’s preeminent technical school and consistently ranks as one of the world’s top ten universities.

(© Front Street Press. Photo by PL.)

I purchased School for Genius for two very special, personal reasons. First, I am giving the book as a gift to a most important person who may choose to study at ETH in the near future. Second, it is yet another fine work authored by my dear friend, my brother, and our champion of the West, the late, great Thomas G. Moore. That last point alone should sell this review to my readers. 

As many know, Tom and I first met at a school. Many might not know that Tom held three advanced degrees from two European universities. The man understood academia. He knew Europe. Previously, I was vaguely aware of ETH, and he and I had discussed the book and his resident process of researching and writing it. Reading it was nonetheless eye-opening.

As usual, Tom did something utterly fantastic with ETH. He crafted an authoritative history, apology, and exposition that flows and reads like one of his thrilling fictional narratives. It’s not quite like reading an Erik Larson book; one need not constantly remind oneself that Albert Einstein and Carl Jung were real men and not novel characters, but it’s somewhat close. 

The book opens with words of knowledgeable praise from Hon. Faith Whittlesey, a two-term former US Ambassador to Switzerland. Tom begins with a bit of history and culture, wherein he compares the ancient and functional idea of Swiss “diversity” with the doomed and deadly buzzword of late American fame. He then moves into the school’s genesis as it was founded based on the established principles of Paris’s École Polytechnique (another school someone might consider). 

The rise of ETH coincided with, was governed by, and helped steer the rise of the industrial revolution and the modern world. Tom beautifully covers how a decent and intelligent people bridged the transition from a rural agrarian culture to an advanced industrialized society while maintaining the best elements of both. Repeated emphasis is given to the stubborn independence and decentralization that has marked the Swiss people and their Cantons for centuries. He also delves as deeply into the copious scientific and academic contributions and achievements the school and its score-plus Nobel laureates have given the world as 270 pages will allow. 

Here I will stop and highly recommend School For Genius. If not for my two privy circumstances, I might not have ever developed an interest in the subject matter. It is, I suppose, a niche study. Yet, if you or someone you know has an interest in educational history, engineering, math, Tom Moore prose, or the continuation of civilization, then do consider adding the book to your reading list. 

As for gifted young American students who might contemplate ETH as their future alma mater, Tom perhaps outdoes even his own general curiosity and kindness. He dedicates a short section towards the end of the book to just those American kids who might follow Mrs. Turner toward Zurich. The requisite standards are high. Therefore, so too should be the intellectual caliber of the potential scholar. If one is qualified, and one decides to pursue this select excellence, then the process is doable. At Tom’s original press time, the annual cost of attending ETH was approximately $950. This year, it is closer to $1,500. That figure applies to all students, domestic and international. Compare that price to the tuition at MIT. Compare Zurich to Boston, and the CH to the US. ETH is oftentimes referred to as the “MIT of Europe.” That moniker might be reversed. 

For general education buffs, Appendix II provides a cursory examination of the general Swiss school system. As one might guess, compared to what passes for schooling in the US, the CH’s approach is, in a word, “better.” In a self-propagating system of merit and advancement, ETH does its part to keep the cycle spinning much like CERN’s ETH-affiliated Large Hadron Collider. The adventuresome American pupil might further assist this grand process. Learn much more in Moore’s School For Genius.

A special note: Based on my outstanding experience, I also highly recommend Booketeria of San Antonio, Texas as a used bookstore of great worth. If you order School For Genius or any other preowned book from Amazon, do look for them as a source. At their website, they maintain an independent catalog of titles. For the ridiculously low price I paid for my copy, what was delivered bordered on the unbelievable. My mint condition book arrived early and double wrapped like a Christmas present. I sincerely thank these good people for their extreme dedication to quality and service.

Up there in Heaven, I once again thank you, mon frère. Really miss you.

Deo vindice!

Another Word On Education

 

August is again upon us, and that means the great majority of American children will soon march back to their child sacrifice and slave training camps, aka “schools”. Well, like so many little victims in this strange, nation-shaped kind of place, the kids in the suburban small town where I exist started last month. “School” in July. If their parents were capable of thinking above the first or second logical order, then they might know that almost all of their “schools” are now majority vibrant. If they knew, then I suppose they’d be proud. I’d ask, “Who, really, cares?” But, of course, I do. Somewhat. A little, and less every year. The only future for education in fading America is homeschooling.

Thus I was greatly encouraged by Katie O’Neal’s latest article on homeschooling and by the great comments left by Joe Putnam and Dr. Clyde Wilson. Dr. Wilson knows a thing or two thousand about education, and Katie and Joe have direct, personal experience with homeschooling. My best plausible contribution might be my role as an amateur psychometrist and whistle-blower. Another strong suit (or hindrance) might be my concentration on the right tail of the old intelligence distribution bell curve. Regardless, I’ve decided today to present a rerun of a 2021 column with a few minor editions. That old column was itself a follow-up to another one that dealt with related demographic issues. A fun fact for Newton County, GA: a few more years have done the opposite of improving those demographics. 

Make Them Invulnerable

(April 14, 2021, modified today)

Last week’s column struck a nerve with me, a depressing if predictable nerve. Compared to those at the top, the people at the bottom of a double Hollingworth gap are not just relatively retarded. They are, in a relative sense, profoundly retarded. It’s akin to the mental difference between a person of ordinary intelligence and a house cat. This week, happily, I’m addressing those of us on the far right tail of the curve.

I never liked school – from kindergarten through graduate school. I especially detested my short-lived experience with the “enrichment” program in middle school. I only lasted a few days or maybe weeks before I absolutely refused to participate. The pitiful government school I attended was bad enough. The special program was worse. At the time, someone should have foreseen the incompatibility. 

Just before I was subjected to that particular draining make-work project, a relevant paper was published: Wendy Roedell, Vulnerabilities of Highly Gifted Children, Roeper Review, Vol. 6, No. 3 (1984)(read it HERE). Roedell briefly outlined the difference between “gifted” and “extraordinarily gifted,” ever cognizant of the semi-subjective assessment and application of both labels. 

Her work is good, great even, and thus, it has been roundly ignored, especially her overly-optimistic conclusion: “As information about the needs of highly gifted children becomes more widespread, and society’s expectations become more closely attuned to the realities of gifted development, the degree of vulnerability of these children will diminish.” If only.

The ensuing period of nearly forty years has seen many things. America has degenerated into a ridiculously stupid third-world cesspool. The schools – almost all public and most private – have dropped even the pretense of former Western educational standards. And, while the existence of the UHIQ is reluctantly acknowledged, society has adopted an almost universal bias against the cognitive elite. This is the phenomenon Tom Ironsides observed in THE SUBSTITUTE when he occasionally encountered a languishing child of true intelligence in the wild. It is the same treatment he received from a system blindly obsessed with meaningless credentials. Sadly, the experience is not limited to fiction. Consider The Genius Famine by Edward Dutton and Charlton for the negative effects of this bias on society. One of Charles Murray’s four simple truths in Real Education was that the future of society is dependent on how well high-IQ children are educated. As a country and a nation, the USSA and America have failed; hence, our future looks like war, fracture, and a diminished quality of life.

More recently, thought criminal on the lam, Gonzalo Lira, had this to say about our “schools”:

TERRIBLE EDUCATION: The education bestowed in schools and universities in the US and Europe are atrocious. Children finishing high-school without knowing how to read or do simple math. University students who can’t tell you what centuries Shakespeare lived—or who he was!

Education has become a way to enslave the minds of children, teaching them ideological lies and preventing them from thinking critically. And university education is a way to get an empty accreditation and (not incidentally) turn every student into a student loan debt slave.

That was part of a list of reasons to evacuate out of the West before it’s too late. In general, some European schools, and especially colleges are in better shape than others. European education is vastly preferable to what passes for the same thing in the USSA. Still, he’s not wrong. At the higher levels, on both sides of the Atlantic, hard science and engineering departments are, by and large, still holdouts against the rot, even if their host schools have already succumbed. Once a child is effectively homeschooled, he and his parents should think long and hard about college. Aside from exceptions to the horrible new rule, there are outside alternatives for learning at that level.

No child deserves to be trapped in a failed modern K-12 Amerikan school. While some do much better than others, exceptional children are failed in exceptional fashion. Most of those children above 140-145 WAIS (or SB) are utterly tortured. Especially boys. In many cases, programs allegedly there to help, in fact, hinder. 

As I’ve written previously, the only way to assist a truly intelligent child is for his parents to point him in what they think is the right direction and then step aside and see how far he can go. This isn’t necessarily easy. The parents may not know the correct direction. They may have communication difficulties with their son. And, as is usually the case, they may be plagued with a desire to control that which is not ultimately controllable. Homeschooling is really the only option. 

Back in 1984, Roedell saw the need to remove the bright child from the doldrums of the standard classroom: “Highly gifted children experience increased vulnerability when they spend large portions of their time in inappropriate educational settings. The more a gifted child’s abilities differ from the norm, the more inappropriate becomes the educational program offered in the regular classroom.” She nailed the problems with “enrichment” programs: 

Many programs for gifted children also constitute inappropriate environments for the extraordinarily gifted child … In some school districts, the content of the gifted enrichment class is not linked logically to the identification system. … Even when the child’s abilities and the content of the program are linked, the learning pace of the program may be geared to the level of the moderately gifted child.

The cat comparison is hyperbole, but it is accurate.

It is important to remember that a child with an IQ of 164 is as different intellectually from a child with an IQ of 132 as that child is different from the 100 IQ child. Forcing a child with an IQ of 164 to learn at the pace of the average child, or even the pace of the moderately gifted, is akin to placing an average child in a special education classroom and asking that his/her learning rate be slowed down to keep pace with the rest of the class. The frustration of highly gifted children forced to stifle their love of learning in inhospitable environments can result in withdrawal, behavior problems, or psychosomatic symptoms.

That was my experience in both the special program, specifically, and the schools in general. There was a reason why I independently reached the same conclusion about my subject program as the professional and why I reached it faster with less information. Then, and worse today, the problem is compounded by a number of factors. First, the schools are geared towards low-achievers; ultra and very high-ability students are seen as nonconforming nuisances. The programs, all of them, are designed to indoctrinate rather than to educate. The people who plan and organize curriculum, general and advanced, have ulterior motives. The “gifted and talented” courses are most appropriate for the “all-rounders”, and, these days, best suit the needs and proclivities of female students. That is of no service to the young minds with the most to offer an ailing country and culture. Additionally, the instructors in charge of even the special programs, in most cases, simply cannot communicate at the appropriate mental level with the most advanced students in their care. The average school teacher in the USSA has an IQ of 110. 

A child forced to endure such low-level foolishness will endure. He may very well continue to perform well, grade-wise, into college or even graduate school. But by being denied a real start, he will always be behind his potential. And he will come to resent or even hate the system and those who operate it and those to whom it primarily caters. There is the danger he might take up the digital pen. In the end, he will become adrift in a society that denigrates intelligence – more to its detriment than to that of the high-IQ pariahs. 

Chris Langan, a genius if ever there was one, was brutally punished in the USSA for his high intelligence. Wang Huning was allowed to maximize his intellectual potential from an early age in China. One man’s nation rises while the other’s collapses. 

The sane alternative is relatively simple even in the absence of something controlling like the CPC. Don’t expect smart children to succeed and do not “help” them. Rather, let them succeed. Give them the necessary tools and encouragement and then let them build. What is rightly seen as vulnerability, if properly channeled, can become great strength, beneficial both to the children and to the greater society. A system designed by and for 90 IQ simpletons cannot and will not help. This is up to us. They are our children, after all. Make them invulnerable.

*****

It is my reasoned suspicion that the foregoing approach will work for children of all ability levels. It will at least work better than the one-size-fits-none ways of the “schools”. By my count, this is education article number 439. And while it may not yet be time for me to fully put down my baton, I sense the time has arrived to lay off some of my education scribbling. At least in English. (Друзья мои, продолжайте делать то, что работает! Если я могу вам помочь, мы поговорим.) In any event, I look forward to more genuine wisdom about what really works from Katie, Joe, and any and all of you who know. Onwards.

Deo vindice!

PS: I dedicate this song to Gonzalo Lira. Go, boy! Good luck, and maybe make for Russia.

PPS: Regarding all the building excitement about choosing ‘Murica’s next national dinosaur, I just cannot get excited. Allosaurus or Triceratops, you say? Friends, I truly don’t think these critters exist anymore if they ever did.

Americans Need A Shaman

 

Words. Boy, did I have some for you. I scripted this article out with an intro which I decided to scrap for reasons. Those sharp literary blades are still in the hopper if needed. Instead, today I give you the following musical comparison, which should essentially make most of my original points in a less rhetorically-taxing fashion. It’s music, so it should be fun. Rather, I hope the first tune depresses and/or enrages you. The second is very upbeat and uplifting. It is my high hope that something causes the all-too-real message of the first to give way to the joy and empowerment of the second. Let’s get this underway, shall we?

The first song is an English translation of a French-Canadian ditty that someone forwarded to me. To the extent possible, please enjoy “Dégénérations” as performed by David Mathewes:

(David Mathewes – “Dégénérations”)

Sampled lyrics:

Well now, your great great grandmum, she had fourteen kids to raise.

And then your great grandmum nearly followed in her ways.

Then your grandmother had three and decided to prevent.

And your mom had just the one – and she was an accident.

 

As for you, little girl, a different partner every night.

And if anything goes wrong, you go to town and put it right.

But in the silent morning, you can almost hear the sound

Of a big kitchen table, all the children gathered round.

This tune is wonderfully melodious yet very depressing. It’s depressing because what it describes is real and true. This is the short story of the collapse of generations and a people. Our people. Almost the entirety of post-modern life is dedicated to whittling us down from large, happy families to sitting alone in boxes. All of it is and was a malicious set of lies, a purposeful plan to reduce us to nothing. And even today, if one listens, the liars and fools repeat the mantras of ease, freedom, and pleasure, all of which end up looking like misery, slavery, and death. 

Deep in the lyrics, the subject young man is encouraged to “fight the temptation to commit armed robbery” as he grapples with his hopeless existence. Given the mass gravity of the situation, and given that it is the product of a war against our people, I suggest that the temptation might rightly drift towards a more lethal crime. I also suggest if well-directed, yielding to such temptation might be more of a necessity than a crime. 

As aside to our wicked enemies: When, if ever, it comes, know that you earned it. 

Just as the enemy keeps pouring gasoline on our raging national inferno, so too do so many of us still pretend we’re living in a bygone era where the lies still appear at least somewhat plausible. I have my year and you likely have yours. If any Americans want to step out of 1982, 1859, or 1054 and enter the current year with an eye for survival, then we have to do a little better in recapturing our lapsed spirit and sense of identity. Other societies not so dissimilar from our own offer glimpses of what that might look like. Scott Ritter visited Russia this year and came home telling and bragging about the palpable presence of the Russian identity. Russia is still run by and for Russians. Therefore, the whole of Russian culture acts as a perpetual promotion of the Russian nation. Our road is harder, as America is run by and for satanists who actively hate, suppress, and exterminate the American nation. Our fight will be ours largely alone. Still, we may find fun in the fighting, especially if we dare do things like regain the lost popular culture. Here comes the fun song!

Until the other day, I had never heard of Russian pop-rock singer Yaroslav Dronov by his given name. I had heard, very briefly here and there, of his extremely popular stage persona, Shaman. Heretofore, I had stupidly written him off as the Russian Justin Bieber. He’s not and I made a mistake. Correcting my mistake has proven somewhat pleasant and a little addictive. Please watch this recent live performance of Shaman’s “I Am RUSSIAN” and/or read the translated English lyrics below:

(Shaman – “I Am RUSSIAN!”)

“I am RUSSIAN” 

English lyrics mechanically translated via Yandex, with micro-tinkering by Perrin:

I breathe in this air.

The sun in the sky is looking at me.

A free wind is flying over me.

It’s the same as me.

 

And I just want to love and breathe.

And I don’t need anything else.

The way it is, and you can’t break me.

And all because,

 

I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.

I am Russian, my blood is from my father, heh-heh.

I am Russian, and I am lucky.

I am Russian, to spite the whole world.

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I am Russian!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

This song flies into Heaven,

And He calls me with Him.

And my heart is burning in me,

Lighting the way home.

 

Where you just want to love and breathe,

And I don’t need anything else.

That’s the way I am, and you can’t break me.

And all because,

 

I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.

I am Russian, my blood is from my father, heh-heh.

I am Russian, and I am lucky.

I am Russian, to spite the whole world.

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I am Russian!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.

I am Russian, my blood is from my father.

 

I am Russian, and I am lucky.

I am Russian, to spite the whole world.

I am Russian.

Musical tastes, of course, vary. I suspect for many that tune is one of the rare, catchy types that do not require an exact understanding of the words. It’s also somewhat of a testament to the lingering multi-lingual effects of all that is the Indo-European philologic tradition, because one can if one tries, detect certain similarities (e.g., “я русский”, sung “J’ah” or “Ya” “Rooskie” comes almost cleanly across the mind as what it is, “I’m Russian”). When the words are understood, they are powerful! The song is a short defense and celebration of what it means to be a proud living Russian. To a lesser contemporary extent, it is also a hard slap right in the face to the anti-Russian forces of Clown World. “[t]o spite the whole world” means to spite those who would enslave and destroy Russia. 

Notice anything about the video? Specifically about the crowd? That’s what young Russia looks like. That is the demographic composition of about 90% of the whole Federation, and closer to 99% of the population west of the Urals in the “European” Republics and Oblasts. Compare that, if one dares, to wherever one lives in the former United States. Then, keep the comparison going.

American boys and girls, at an alarming rate, don’t even know whether they’re boys or girls. Many of their idiot elders won’t tell them for fear of being called bad names. I doubt anyone in Shaman’s audience has that problem. Young Americans are told to hate their people, their history, and themselves. Young Americans are told their country was founded on the (fake) “sins” of racism, slavery, and White supremacy. Young Americans, a vanishing breed, are told to be homosexual deviants, to never have children, and to kill any children that do come along. Young Americans are essentially enslaved, early in life, to various classes of people, large and small, weak and powerful, who hate them. Young Americans will be saddled with onerous usurious fake debt before taking on more fake usurious debt. They will work for less than Depression-era wages. They will not own homes. They will not get married, or have children. 

Young Russians like the ones in the video are born into an ancient culture still willing and able to violently defend itself. They will emerge into that culture free and clear to navigate. They will find plentiful jobs in the booming west of the country, and free land in the booming east. They will marry each other and produce future generations. Russian governments, industries, and institutions are run, again, by and for Russians. They promote the existence of their people. Russian women work to build families. Russian men kill to defend it all. Russia, uber alles, to spite the whole world if necessary. The one scenario is worth singing about. 

Americans once had something like that. Something worth loving, living in, preserving, and defending. Political and physical control of that great space between Mexico and Canada has been lost (past tense) by Americans. The question now is whether enough of them want to preserve some remnant of what was lost. For my part, I think that’d be a fine idea, and about the only one worth entertaining. How about we do it? Let’s spite the whole world – especially our weak, demented, lecherous little overlords.

Third song! I’ll close out with a micro music minute. Think you know Rick Astley? Here’s his “Never Gonna Give You Up” as covered on a Casio electronic piano by Russia’s outstanding and lovely Gamazda (Alexandra Kuznetsova):

(pronounced: “Gah-Maz-Dah!”)

excuses, told ya, War

A Loose Update

 

Greetings. It’s another excuse for a column. Things being what they are, and not what they aren’t, this is the best I could do this week. I asked an AI bot to help me out. Instead, it scoldingly told me, “It is inappropriate to comment, discuss, or even know about people using ballpoint pens before the technology is invented or widely, publicly disseminated.” So here we are.

I thought I’d keep this simple and kind of rapid-fire. Okay, there wasn’t much thought about it. Rest assured that quality will improve tomorrow. Just a few things:

It’s the middle of summer. Naturally, the child indoctrination and molestation centers, aka, the “schools”, are about to get going again on their endless mission for Moloch. Seriously, the fake schools in the town where I exist start the new year of torture next week. In July. There’s something horribly wrong about this. 

The other day, I noticed dog food is considerably cheaper than infant formula. Fifty yankee dollars buy a fifty-pound sack of Chow Chow chow. A small can of powdered sustenance for a small person goes for upwards of sixty imperial credits. There’s something wrong with this too.

There was going to be more, but I am VERY limited on time, and I need to get to this update:

A few weeks ago, in a real column, I theorized about the fake “Wagner” coup in Russia. Therein, I made a short series of non-predictions. We can’t be sure yet, but here’s what it looks like I got right.

Hot on the heels of his alleged exile, the “traitor” Prigozhin was seen having a private dinner meeting with V. Putin. Evidently, they were laughing about something.

Wagner has for the most part been reorganized and incorporated into the RUS MOD. The rest is acting as a training, meddling, or shock corps. They’re in Belarus, staging for something with the Belarusians and those Russian extras I mentioned. Or they were. Rumor has it the combined force is either prepping to move into western Ukraine or has already done so. My guess is Putin is about to seal off Kiev from the Werewest. Forces in Galicia, blocking roads and rail, and with air defenses would take care of that, leaving only a narrow channel to Banderastan via the Black Sea.

That channel is already closed. Russia has effectively blockaded Odessa and is beginning to soften the city with major air strikes. No word yet on a massive troop movement in that direction, though it’s only the end of July.

Elsewhere, kind of like I said, there is a massive troop buildup. Non-MSM sources tell me some 160,000 Russian regulars and nearly 1,000 tanks are staging for something in the Kharkiv area. Hmmm. 

Ukrainian losses are staggering. Russia has probably suffered 30,000 KIAs in the past seventeen months. Conservative estimates put Ukie KIAs at or above 350,000. Add to that 700-900,000 wounded. This is beyond horrible and bodes not well at all for the future of whatever rump state emerges from the former Ukraine. The good news is that war crimes tribunals are already being set up to try those responsible. That’s a discussion for another time, but suspiciously swishy, never-married GAE sin-a-tors and bloated hags of the “new land” variety might want to start making arrangements. [Note to Shadows: You might ingratiate yourselves to the civilized world by rounding up this kind of scum when the time comes. Having them out of the country will be reward enough.]

Kiev is running out of men, again. In fact, Lil’ Ze is starting to run out of generations. And NATO and the GAE are just about out of ammo. Brandon’s thugs broke GAE “law” by sending cluster munitions for the MOD to destroy. For once, this move was not made out of malice; the GAE simply has no other kinds of rounds to send. Bonus Trivia!!!! RUS has several AD systems that can shoot down artillery shells – literally hitting large bullets with bullets.

A year or so back, I think to the Prepper Post audience, I discussed the reach and capability of Mr. Putin’s nuclear gas station. I explained that things like weapons plants in the SW, TX, or the OCSA are all in easy, undefended 3M22 range. A far-fetched if possible scenario? Maybe. But it may have already happened, though without the Zicon storm. I don’t pay attention to the MSM much, but something tells me they have been a little quiet about the multiple explosions at the DOW chemical plant in Iberville Parish, LA. The plant makes, or rather, made ethylene oxide, which is a key ingredient in several military munitions. The GAE’s stocks of weapons were dangerously low already. Funny timing, no? It could have simply been an ordinary example of the strength of DIEversity, corpocratic cost-cutting, or Cleetus’s last cigarette break. Of course, it could have been one or more of those things with a little push. It will be most interesting, and a little telling if this happens again somewhere else. There’s a reason why I advise getting away from large cities and military or military industrial facilities. 

Old Possum advises a lot of things. I advise you to return to this corner of them interwebs next week for more rambling.

Deo vindice.

A Shadow: The Need For Observer Status

(with Perrin’s Music Minute)

The following is a bare-bones suggestion geared towards Americans, particularly, Southerners. It may be of some utility to other people of goodwill. Some of them, namely Asians and Hispanics, are already largely doing much of what I will and would recommend, and in some areas, they are doing more. Americans, particularly in Dixie, will encounter various obstacles if any of this is to be implemented. First, there is a substantial lack of belief, motivation, and cohesive spirit. Second, there is a (perceived by me) lack of funding. Some of this will entail moderate expenses. Third, there is a distinct possibility that necessary outside reception may be less than forthcoming. Most of what I’m on about today involves interactions with certain international parties, some of them in person. These are good people, but they may have written off, at least superficially, dealing with many Americans. One can hardly blame them. Fourth, moderate to severe objections from the satanic foreign rulers of the United States can and should be expected. There will be more; all of it will have to be dealt with intelligently and resolutely.

Southerners should consider establishing a Shadow Government. Or a government in internal exile. This pseudo-institution was needed yesterday. With a few distinct exceptions, my previous mentionings of this fact have fallen on deaf or retarded ears. Nonetheless, time keeps marching on and the time to start acting is now. Particulars are, as of yet, difficult to impossible to delineate. Therefore, this step is more about, or all about planning. While reordering will be necessary at the local, state, and federated national levels, I suggest picking either the state or federated model and running loosely with it – while keeping the others in mind. All existing political and legal structures are compromised, as are all elected officials at those levels. You’ll be starting from scratch.

Here appearances do matter. People love looks over substance, and for once their desires might not be entirely misplaced. This shadow is not or should not be intended to compete with the hellish nightmare rooted on the banks of the Potomac. I suggest never giving the impression that it is intended to replace or overthrow that failed and miserable and wicked death cult. Our enemies are weakened but they are still dangerous. And they do not like competition. Multiple secession movements are growing, but they require a little more time. More importantly, it is impossible to overthrow something that long ceased to exist in actual valid reality. White men, for now, you are the Taliban; watch and wait. And plan. It might be best to approach this as another social or historical interest club, one without too many identifiable or titled leaders.

How all of this is accomplished, I do not necessarily know. I would suggest something rather different from the Enlightenment’s lie-driven mess of the US’s constitutional founding. More Venice, less interstate commerce, and so forth. I’d also be very clear about who is and is not a part of the waiting new nation, and who is and is not allowed to directly participate in its governing affairs. 

There is also the issue of territorial confines. You probably will not resurrect the original state of the CSA. Nor will all of the various former constituent states necessarily be options. Demographics will eventually serve as a guide and things will work out – for someone, somewhere. Do keep in mind that you are not alone. Also, I again caution that you may be under inspection, or if you will, grooming by a different kind of shadow. I have little hard evidence to back this assertion; however, if I am correct, then the last thing any of you want is to serve as the new operational base of the empire that never ended.

You need Observer Status in various international organizations. Someone or some small group will necessarily have to serve as unofficial representatives, ambassadors, or foreign ministers. Three organizations jump out screaming for your attention: BRICS+, SPIEF, and the SCO. To the best of my knowledge, all of them admit observer states and different kinds of guests. They represent the current interests of the free and sovereign nations, and tomorrow they will effectively become the global establishment. (That’s happening already, really.) I seriously doubt that they or any of the countries involved in them will humor an immediate attempt by the Confederate States of America to join up. They deal with hard, positive reality. However, I suspect they may be more than open to the potential of interested outsiders exploring future possibilities. 

On the other hand, while making and keeping friends is important, it is also wise to keep track of enemies. Therefore, consider observing or monitoring, perhaps without attempting to join in any way, NATO (yes, really), the UN, the IMF, the BIS, and the WEF. Maybe a few more. In so monitoring these groups, extreme caution is advisable along the lines of Gandalf lamenting Saruman’s delving too deeply, even with initially honest intentions, into the arts of the enemy.

Think about Real Money. The Dollar’s day is over. And there are no real dollars left anyway. None of the debt-substitute money in the US/WereWestern economy is real. It is entirely based on increasingly obvious frauds and increasingly impotent threats of violence. In other words, it is fake (and gay). The other side of the now bifurcated global economy is real, based on tangible goods and services and/or a public utility theory of money as controlled by the people of the nations and their governments – for their benefit and not the benefit of foreign satanists.

Last year, the Sovereign World, led by Russia and China, transitioned very smoothly to a new trading system temporarily facilitated by MIR-CIPS. I do not pretend to understand exactly how it works, but it does work. In place of threats, there appears to be actual value, and in place of fraud, there is honest mutual discussion, negotiation, and agreement. The majority of the world population now lives in areas that have switched or are switching to this system. Southerners and heritage Americans would be wise to do the same as soon as it becomes practical. 

The parameters are scarcely known, but it was just announced that a new gold-backed international settlement and trade currency will be unveiled in the near future. Evidently it will be what the Bretton Woods Bancor was allegedly supposed to be. Your local currency, while aligned with others, will remain your local currency. The new “Gold X” will simply allow for payments between participating nations. Astoundingly, some movement in this direction is already underway in places like Texas. Even if direct participation is not yet possible, now is the time to explore, gain understanding, and make friends.

There is much more to consider moving forward. Among necessary areas in need of some address are military, industrial, agricultural, academic, media, technical, and infrastructure issues. Knowing that some exploration of those subjects is already underway, I leave them for another day or to your esteemed pondering. Just know that all of this is critical. All of the foregoing must necessarily take place outside of the existing legal and political frameworks. You’ve already been banned from those anyway. In fact, what remains of them is a farcical shell unworthy of anyone’s participation or tolerance. And all of this takes place and will take place in the 2023-2033 time period set in actual reality. Keep in mind the historical interest club angle is mainly for cover, and it is not a crutch or security blanket.

One more thing before the lyrical postscript. Many thanks to Walt Garlington for alerting me to the coming publication by PRAV of Eschatological Optimism, the posthumously collected writings of the late, lovely, and in need of avenging Daria Dugina. Maybe bookmark that for the end of this summer.

The Music Minute

Think you know Rick Astley? Here he is on the drums covering AC-DC at Glastonbury very recently. Here’s the end of the show, a zany spectacle I have rarely seen the likes of before. Wait, there’s more.

Think you know Weird Al? And Weezer? And Toto? Here’s Yankovic “fronting for” Weezer covering Toto. The live concert version, where Al is definitely singing in addition to playing and acting. 

May these soothing and/or upbeat tunes help anyone who attempts the foregoing recommendations.

Deo vindice.

The Need For Families With Children

Perrin Lovett -AND- Lynne Neal

 

*For perhaps the first time ever, I have a co-author on this one! While she may lift my usual ramblings up to some higher level, I gladly welcome the wit and charm of Alabama’s own beautiful and fearless Lynne Neal.

Our word “nation” is derived from the Latin term “natio”, which itself is akin to “nāscor”, which means “being born”, as are the children of the union of a man and a woman. One may see that “nation” is naturally, etymologically related to “natal”, that is, of or pertaining to the birth of babies. Babies grow up to become adults who perpetuate a cycle of life and societal existence. A nation is a collection of similar people, in a somewhat defined area, who share common ethnic, religious, cultural, historical, moral, linguistic, and genetic physio-psychological traits. It is essentially a large extended family. Without new generations of children, it will cease to exist.

Western nations are under extreme assault by the forces of satan. Western cities now regularly burn with the literal fires of invasion, war, and collapse. Americans, like most other native Western populations, have long ceased having children at the necessary rate of replacement. All recent US population growth is driven exclusively by foreigners. This will permanently change —and already has permanently changed— the post-American US society. 

After World War Two, the wicked leaders of the West decided to replace the native populations of their host countries by halting or curtailing the births of new natives while simultaneously importing hordes of foreign invaders. The decent if gullible people of the West have blindly, sometimes selfishly gone along with these schemes based on the hollow and obviously false promises of economic benefits, the “strength” of diversity, and faux pleasure. Meanwhile, other more faithful and intelligent countries have found novel ways to perpetuate and increase their own native populations. 

In China, which has not suffered the old “one child” policy in years, tech companies are now paying their Chinese employees stipends to have more Chinese children. 

In 2019, Viktor Orban’s government in Hungary legally instituted massive tax breaks for young Hungarian families who have Hungarian children. This may include lifetime 100% income tax abatements. 

Even as it militarily smashes Clown World to pieces, the Russian Federation is in the process of re-ordering all of its society in order to foster Russian family building and the birth of additional Russian children. At the 2022 SPIEF conference, Vladimir Putin wisely said:

Russia’s future is ensured by families with two, three and more children. Therefore, we need to do more than provide direct financial support – we need to target and direct the healthcare system, education, and all areas that determine the quality of people’s lives towards the needs of families with children.

As usual, Putin is dead serious. He essentially told the young adults of Russia to forge ahead, not to worry about the costs, and that the nation would guarantee the success of their fruitful endeavors. 

If the terminal demographic decline in America is to be reversed or ameliorated in any way, then we must emulate the positive examples of the Sovereign nations. Our young people must get married and have as many children as they can. This simple biological and mathematical truth runs counter to the lies of the past half-century. But again, we are under attack by satan.

In Genesis 9:7, God the Father instructed Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. Children are a blessing. Fulfillment of this blessing, of course, necessitates understanding how to nurture and instruct the young. Should one want a written how-to guide for properly raising children, then one should look no further than the Biblical Book of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus). Though Protestants may have never heard of this Book, they would still do well to consider its wisdom. Catholics, who may have heard of it, would do very well to read it. 

There is some great news! Many members of our vital younger generations have and exhibit great wisdom. Some use it instinctively, while others only require the easy fix of subtle redirection. They desperately want normalcy. They, like the rest of us, have lived through the lies, and seen the damage inflicted upon our people and culture. Unlike so many of the rest of us, Generation Z, the soon-to-rise Gen A, and many Millennials have the chance and ability to correct course. We must assist them. It’s up to us, probably alone, as our governments, corporations, and popular (anti)culture will do nothing beyond continuing the lethal policies of the past and present. A huge step is to simply separate from the toxic death cult of postmodern society. Once one starts that relatively easy process, it only becomes easier and more natural.

While the aggregate percentage of unmarried Americans is at a record high, many of our young men and women still marry each other. They’re staying married too, with divorce rates beginning to plummet. In her wonderful recent article, Flowers, the bold Jessamine Lee juxtaposed the futile insanity of the postmodern age with the elegant joys of the traditional world. As I said in a comment on her words, “…it’s frequently never too late…” It’s not.

Our enemies are skilled at hitting us from all directions, finding vectors of harm for just about every type of person. In La Poudre Aux Yeux, the lovely Justine Reix noted the false fear instilled in many young Westerners of harming the planet by having children. Though ecology is important, this artificial trepidation is as wicked and ridiculous as following the lifestyle examples of pop stars. As I wrote in my review of her book, “Kids, that is not you; have no fear. Get out there, be happy, and have a bunch of children!” And don’t wait years to do it. I fully understand the financial gravity of our times. However, economically speaking, for the foreseeable future things will likely never be easier than they are right now. The savings and preparations of a year or two can be condensed into nine months.

For those looking for love, companionship, and happiness, remember that men and women are by design attracted to each other. In discerning that attraction, a simple heuristic might as well be: More Bible, less MTV. Noor bin Ladin recently answered the burning young man’s question about what decent young women desire. She said, “Oh that’s simple. Based women want a man who’s even more based than they are.” Young ladies, it’s kind of the same thing going in the other direction. All of you, just get out there. Meet each other, be kind to each other, fall in love, and make it happen. 

When you do make it happen, make it work, please be consistently defensive of your families. Protecting them from the insidious harm offered by the world may be more difficult in theory than in practice. Consider this Stonetoss cartoon as a serious yet humorous and simple example. And when the time comes, teach your children well. I again offer the Bluedorn’s Trivium book as the gold standard of Godly instruction. 

The rest of us must step up, step in, and help. If nothing else, we can stand guard as the young plant those trees the shade of which none of us will ever enjoy. Then again, there’s a heap of joy just in the planting. Kids, we love you and we need you. 

Lynne, whaddya got?

Sayeth Lynne:

First, a big thank-you to Perrin for giving me this opportunity to share with his readers. By way of introduction, I am a widow, an old home-school mama from the 1980s and 90s, and a grandmother of home-schooled children. My interests, though varied, begin with my own family and my own folk. 

Perrin has covered the topic well and I concur. Very simplistically put: Get married for life while young and have as many children as God chooses to give you. He tells us in His word:

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver FULL of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.  – Psalm 127:3-5

One of the many regrets of my long life is that my husband and I neither married young nor were of the mindset to have as many children as God chose. But God is amazingly merciful and long-suffering with His children and my life has still been filled abundantly with unmerited blessings. 

The devil and his minions have been very successful thus far with brainwashing our folk, one way of which is to deceive particularly the last four generations into limiting the size of their families for a variety of reasons…cost, time, energy (and don’t get me going on the insidious feminist movement that began way back), but remember…they are liars. Thrice-holy God, the Creator and Sustainer of this universe, does not give the gift of children without giving the means to raise them, and the “how” in His word to raise them. Determine to toss that most excellent brainwashing device…The Television…OUT. Give the children in your life OLD literature, well-illustrated, to read, and read to them cuddled around you as long as you can. Homeschool those children. Get out of large cities IF POSSIBLE. Grow your own food as much as possible. Jesus himself said, “…with God all things are possible.” 

Let me sum up by saying, “Marry young, live with less, let God choose the number of arrows you have, teach them at home, and may He be pleased to fill your quiver FULL.”

Perrin’s Note:

Sounder wisdom than almost anything I can write! One of my biggest life regrets runs along the same lines as Lynne’s. She also beats me with homeschooling experience over theory. Despite what we think or wish, we really cannot know what could have been. Nor can we change it now. If you, dear peer-age reader, suffer similar discomfort, if you wanted more children or even if you had none at all, then accept it, shelve it, and go forth doing all you can to help the younger people in your life, family, and community fill their quivers and live their rewards. All things are possible. We’re going to do this, and we’re going to have much joy in the doing. God bless!

The Alabama Doe and Mississippi Possum remind you to be kind to does and possums. Furthermore,

DEO VINDICE!

Two Coups

 

Last Friday, while some mourned the loss of five men who thought visiting the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a high-tech beer can was a good idea, the strangest thing happened in Russia. Before anyone could figure out what it was, it was over. The MSM deemed the event a “civil war”. If so, and I haven’t confirmed the matter with Guinness yet, then it had to be the shortest civil war in history.

When I first heard the news, I near-instantly developed a theory about wut wuz goin’ on. Others I highly respect have opined similar thoughts and a growing trove of evidence suggests we may be correct. Other minds I also highly respect have a divergent theory for which there is also ample circumstantial evidence. I think both theories are plausible and not necessarily mutually exclusive. Therefore, I herein meld them into one. I will leave out certain tangential lines of reasoning, some of which, like those of Andrei Martyanov, I tend to agree with and/or respect. Here goes.

NATO done got played. The alternative view of this matter is that the desperate neocons attempted yet another color revolution but were caught in the act and circumvented by V. Putin and Company. Their war is failing and they know it. As I’ve stated before, they have probably at least considered a really, really big false flag or psyop. A coup in Moscow would have certainly fit the bill. The CIA claims they knew about Prigozhin’s campaign before it launched. That would be the case if the CIA had planned and orchestrated it. Prigozhin does likely have some substantial contacts with the Ukrainian FSB and GRU along with MI6 and the CIA. He, by the way, is not the founder nor the leader of Wagner. And he has little formal military training or experience, with essentially zero knowledge of operational planning in large-scale combined arms warfare. He does now have some tactical experience, so I suppose he’s on about the same level as the average NATO general. Wagner’s MOD contracts had expired or were supposed to expire and their future in the SMO looked uncertain. Prigozhin is a previously convicted felon, a showman, a wildman, and a businessman. There’s the issue of the “missing” $6 billion at the Pentagram. Prigozhin is also technically a member of a little group I’m not supposed to mention anymore. So, the elements of a potential faux coup of desperation were present. 

I’ve heard two explanatory angles that make some tandem sense as to the reason(s) NATO would consider such a strike. First, if the NATO counteroffensive had gone according to plan, Wagner’s behind-the-lines antics would have added a degree of pressure on Russian defensive lines in Donbas. As it happened, with the counteroffensive becoming a dismal flop, a loose armed revolution on Russian soil would have also added pressure – maybe not enough to really help, but, as planned, also not hurting. 

Either way, Wagner’s forces were not nearly strong enough to achieve Prigozhin’s stated and almost unbelievable objectives. 25,000 men, allegedly with low ammunition stocks, and without any substantial ISR, air cover, or air defense, would have never made it 1,200 km to Moscow, let alone been sufficient to take and occupy such a vast, heavily-defended city. The whole scheme of action, as stated, made absolutely no sense. This is further proof of NATO involvement. In addition to the CIA’s or DOD’s late non-admissions, we have some pictorial evidence of Clown Worldery in action.

Even when their plans fail, the Clowns love to claim responsibility. 

From Sen. Marco Foamio (R – Foam Parties):

From the loud dude at CNBC:

Andrei Martyanov found a meme that perfectly captures the NATO response to the now-failed plot. The following could just as easily be a meeting of the Werewestern political leadership, military leadership, or media:

This next bit doesn’t necessarily help the alternative explanation. However, it provides a link to my original theory. From Sludge:

Cue Green Day: Red alert is the color of panic! Elevated to the point of static! Of course, the voices of the Clowns cried forth their Masters’ battle hymns. But the delivery was so weak and so off that it suggests the whole team was taken aback by the events as they unfolded. As I said, and other outsiders agree, they got played. Or so I think.

I trust the average ‘Murican and the average MSM toady has forgotten, but just a month ago, Yevgeny Prigozhin threw a similar temper tantrum regarding Wagner’s alleged woes in Bakhmut. “Oh, noes! Russia has abandoned us without ammo or support! I guess you Ukies can roll on it. We outta here!” NATO fell for it, sending in reinforcements that were promptly destroyed as Wagner and Russian regulars steamrolled the city in a final triumphant assault. I think they fell for it again on a much grander scale.

Let us assume that Prigozhin did have contact with NATO and did agree to go along with what would have surely been a suicide mission of a coup attempt. Now let’s assume that wildman double-agent Prigozhin was always working with Putin, who winked and nodded his approval of the attempt. Off he and his men went to Rostov, where they met with no resistance whatsoever. (I seriously question the reported helicopter and plane downings). While his woefully under-equipped columns went north towards Moscow, Prigozhin suddenly met with MOD generals, the local governor, and by telephone, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The latter two men worked out a miracle deal and saved the day. Allegedly. Prigozhin and many of his men were then sent off to “exile” in Belarus (which has been under repeated low-level attack by NATO), Wagner was to be wound up, and most elements of the PMC not outright retired were scheduled to be absorbed into the Russian armed forces. 

Here’s a map of how all that looks from above, tracking the overland route of the Wagnerites from Donbas to points beyond:

Besieging Moscow? Or Kiev?! 

My first theory was that this episode was an elaborate hoax —something others outside of NATO and the USSA are capable of pulling— set in motion as a cover for something altogether different. Something like the mass mobilization of troops and equipment. Wagner, more of a private version of the CIA’s SAD, and given to all manner of clandestine paramilitary warfare including the informational variety, was ideally suited to play along. It’s entirely possible that NATO’s stupid little plot was swallowed up whole by Russia’s much larger, ambitious, and cunning plan. We’ll know in a few weeks or months. The entire situation is fluid and accurate updates and predictions are difficult if not impossible. 

Again, just as 25,000 men, if Wagner even had that many, isn’t enough to occupy a city of 15 million, it is not enough to occupy a city like Kiev of 3-4 million. But they wouldn’t be alone. According to loosely-rumored plans, the Wagnerians are to enlist or contract into the regular army. From the outset of the SMO, about 100,000 of those troops loiter somewhere between Minsk and the Ukrainian border. There’s a smaller contingent of Belarusian troops with them, none of whom are too happy about the occasional attacks by NATO out of Ukraine against Belarus. Note that much of the actual fighting being conducted by Russia in the Donbas is still largely carried out by special forces, aerospace forces, DPR/LPR militias, and a skeleton force of MOD regulars. Also note that under several mobilizations and recruiting drives, the MOD has added something like another 500,000 men to the fray who may be regularly rotated in and out, but who have not been committed in full. And there are probably that many more also sitting in reserve. Add to them the recent core formations of about 150,000 new contract (a term of Russian art for non-conscripted soldiers) troops and volunteers (something like 1,300 joining up every day!), and Moscow has one hell of an army at its disposal, 1-1.5 million strong. The fantasy rumor is that a super general mobilization is planned to add another 5 million men to the field. As incredible and ridiculous as that number sounds, it is only about one-fifth of the total manpower available in a true emergency; with half the population of the USSA, Russia has more men fit for service. We’ll leave that potentially doable scenario alone for now.

It is possible that the faux coup was designed to allow Wagner’s forces to join with other MOD troops in a circuitous route to the north of Kiev. Another possibility is that equally large formations may have been staged just east and southeast of Ukraine’s eastern border with Russia. Why? As the counteroffensive is failing miserably, and as Kiev is out of men and NATO runs dangerously short on wonder weapons, Putin may be sensing the time to open up the throttle has come. If a column of armor and infantry suddenly descends towards Kiev from the north, unlike the movement in the first weeks of the SMO, this time it won’t be feigned. They’ll be going in to put a final end to Nuland’s special 2014 project. They could also push into western Ukraine. At the same time, Kharkov and its environs could be taken suddenly from the east. Also around the same time, a blitzkrieg across southern Ukraine could surround Odessa and extend a land bridge up to Transnistria. This would accomplish all of Russia’s territorial goals while enabling them to fully deNazify and reform whatever remains of the Ukrainian state, which would surely be reset to pre-USSR era borders. Regardless of all else, this episode is allowing Russia to identify and deal with various “fifth column” actors within the MOD, other government branches, the media, and society in general. Eliminating or containing internal traitors may serve as great a purpose as anything that could happen on the battlefield.

All of this is, of course, still speculative. The speculation is warranted as to how it might affect the USSA and NATO and, more specifically, Americans and Westerners trapped under the rule of the Clowns. If my primary theory is even close to correct, then it pushes the Clowns a little closer to the “fish or cut bait” moment. Right now, there is literally no telling what they’re thinking or what they’re planning. The devil may not have told them what to think or do yet. Who knows? Outplayed or not, if Prigozhin’s behavior was in any way the result of NATO direction, then that would arguably amount to a direct NATO attack on Russia. I take Putin at his word that Prigozhin was a traitor and that he deceived his followers. Prigozhin could have been a fully compromised foreign agent or a freelancer and still helped Russia accomplish a larger operational goal. Regardless of who’s man Prigozhin is, if he had verifiable communications with NATO, then those communications will or have already become known to Moscow. That might be called “bad”. I keep repeating myself. I keep repeating myself. But the Russians are not the Taliban. They are not limited to hiding and waiting and sometimes throwing rocks. Their options range from doing nothing to ending all life on the planet. Being decent Christian people, they tend towards the former end of that scale. However, the fact we’ve reached such a sad place puts Americans at risk. Hence the importance of taking what precautions one can and never serving our wicked overlords. Come what may, try to be on the right side, morally speaking.

A terrible thing to consider is that even if things were militarily and geopolitically fine between the GAE and Russia, Americans would still be in a world of hurt. I still fondly recall the go-go days of the fall of 2020 and the winter of 2020-21. Back then, during the heyday of the Prepper Post News (RIP), Scott, Jovanna, and I snickered as multiple video podcast episodes were banned, blocked, and disappeared by YouTube and Facebook [See? Straight names, no euphemisms] for the crime of allegedly pushing “misinformation” about the topics of central banking, bioweapons, fake vaccines, and election rigging. Remember that ancient history?

During those heady times, the USSA suffered a coup. Rather, it succumbed to the final stages of a long-planned and insidiously pursued overthrow. The last part of this revolution was the removal of electoral politics. 

Like him, love him, or hate him, Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. What he lost was the war of insurrection waged by the Clowns. The fact that the intel-operated social media platforms killed my reports didn’t change reality. Even as courts typically do as they’re told, nothing changed the material facts in those “Kraken” case exhibits. Despite all the lies, cover-ups, and prosecutions, the truth is still the truth. 

I watched as some computer expert demonstrated to the idiotic Georgia Senate the extreme vulnerabilities of the state’s voting systems. From the Capitol complex, he remotely connected to a live ballot terminal in Gwinnett County during a runoff election. I can’t recall if he asked the Senators what they wanted him to do. If he did so ask, then they probably said something like, “Pretty gurl barbecue at da Depot!” I also can’t recall if he was named Alex Halderman. I don’t think he was. However, computer science professor J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan issued a report on the same systemic Georgia weaknesses. This being an important topic in a very free country, a court sealed the report when it was filed. As we’re past the point of no return the report was just unsealed and made known to the public about the time the Wagner wagons circled Rostov. READ IT HERE. 

It’s 96 pages long. Knowing that suggesting books or book-length reports to ‘Muricans is akin to offering fresh garlic to vampires, allow me to cut to the heart of the findings. On page 8, after warnings of possible foreign intelligence meddling, Halderman wrote: “Unfortunately, even if such an attack never comes, the fact that Georgia’s BMDs are so vulnerable is all but certain to be exploited by partisan actors to suppress voter participation and cast doubt on the legitimacy of election results.” 

All but certain. While I don’t expect any old pods to be restored, this is confirmation that certain of my prior suggestions were not “misinformation”. Nor was any of this new even in the fall of 2020. Like her, love her, or hate her (and I kind of like the gal), Stacey Abrams warned the idiotic duo of Brian “Big Truck” Kemp and Brad Raffenasperger that Georgia’s system was compromised at the time the state adopted it. I think she called it something like “gangster stuff”. By the way, Georgia, she’s much smarter than Kemp and much less favored by the dark state. Let that second part sink in as to why she isn’t your governor right now. 

This is in no way limited to Georgia. I would suspect it extends to all governments in the former United States. Make no mistake, the US is over. As is politics in the former US. If I was in the business of issuing death certificates, I could easily and just as well time-stamp the US’s as “On or about Noon, January 20, 2021”. Trump had a possible absolute last chance to halt the insurrection, but evidently, he didn’t even try. Once a coup is successful and the coup masters take control, they do not willingly relinquish their power. 

NEWS FLASH: There will be no election in the USSA in 2024. They will probably tell people there’s one. Pointless campaigns are already underway. They’ll tell everyone their winner. One might be allowed to vote. One might even vote even if one is dead. This will be a bigger lie than whatever happened in Rostov last week. 

I do understand why some still cling to the idea of electoral politics, democracy, and all that stuff. It gives people a sense of optimism and hope to think they still matter by supporting some politician or party that has only ever betrayed them. It’s like a driver dutifully holding the steering wheel after his defective automobile has already gone over a cliff. Hope is good, and I suppose that a false notion of control is better for some than acknowledging they have no political or legal options. For the more realistically-minded, I again suggest that absolutely no support should be given to the degenerates who led us to this position. To all, I say we have some reclaiming and rebuilding to do. Maybe a touch of vengeance. That’s rather exciting, isn’t it? And we’ll have some powerful help if we call for it.

Deo vindice!
