What Has Been Seen (By Some) Cannot Even Be Seen (By Most)

 

I feel like I’ve told this story before. Yet, here we go again. The post-modern reality, in the remains of the West, is a never-ending series of interlocking, overlapping hoaxes, lies, insults, and defeats. The worst part of it all might be the way the people just keep falling for the narratives and scams. The agendas and actions of our mortal enemies are generally plain and open. And yet it’s like a veil sits over the eyes of Westerners, a screen of faithlessness, fear, delusion, and pure stupidity.

Over three years ago, I noticed something interesting and alarming in the monetary world. It tied in with something else I noticed a few months later. But don’t take my word for it, again; instead, read Vox Day’s excellent interpretation of a Zerohedge analysis of the sad nexus between the Great Hoax and the terminal collapse of the Werewest’s portion of the world economy.

And, sure enough, as soon as the U.S. central bank began to sell assets and return to “normal” policies in 2018 and 2019, a new, even bigger crisis was “found.”

A novel coronavirus. Never mind that coronaviruses appear all the time and that most people will get and survive the flu a half dozen times in their lives… this time the world went completely nuts.

Everything was shut down for two years – except politics. Trillions were spent on vaccines – vaccines that don’t prevent you from getting Covid or from transmitting Covid. It was definitely a government vaccine: it cost trillions, everyone was forced to use it, and it didn’t work.

Nothing else worked during the Covid lockdown either. Kids don’t learn at home. Employees don’t work at home. Flimsy surgical masks don’t prevent you from contracting or spreading Covid – they don’t work, but they were required too. Fauci wore two masks, everywhere. He received four different shots of the “vaccine.” Guess who got Covid anyway?

Worst of all, the government spent unlimited sums of money on things like the ridiculous “paycheck protection program,” which might as well have been called “Fraud on a Federal Scale For You.”

Read the whole thing. As for what I just included, I have a few points to add. First, it’s more accurate to say that government-abused kids don’t learn at home through fraudulent government home-based BS “learning.” Second, by 2019 things were back to normal – so long as “normal” means declining at free-fall speed. Third, the horrible fate of decades of usury is affecting those economies still in league with the satanic forces of the US-NATO-ZIO-BIS-IMF system of theft, murder, and fraud. The sovereign nations (80% of the world) are surviving well and preparing to part ways with those of us caught in the sinkhole. This is why Russia has suffered trivial losses to its GDP this year, despite (or thanks to) all the retarded sanctions, and why Russia’s rate of inflation is declining steadily. Meanwhile, in the Werewest … yeah.  All of this is interrelated.

I spot patterns with relative ease. This is due to reading A LOT and to a natural creative logical thinking ability. Things others don’t notice, even when the things are pointed out to them, line up in my mind almost without me having to consciously think about them. So it was that in September of 2019 I noticed something (else) amiss with the Fed.

REPO the Whirlwind:

But, this is serious. On Monday, September the 16th, the NY Fed started pumping $75 Billion per day into the commercial banks. This will continue through and until October 10th. That’s $1.875 Trillion right there. As a bonus, the crooks, er, the Fed will also spring $420 Billion in REPO BUCKS!!! (like a lottery game or something)(14 days X $30 Billion per day) in an attempt to gift yet more free fake money to the constituent ownership of the Fed. If this seems to you a tad self-serving, then you’re on to something.

All of this is happening during what we are assured are the very best of economic times. And, again, it’s all taking place in a span of less than a month. !Poof! Just like that the banksters have another $2.3 Trillion to play with, waste, or hoard. Temporally – and this is really fun stuff – $2.3 Trillion was the value of the entire economy as recently as 1950. In other words, what took previous generations 174 years to accumulate, the Fed just summons up out of the Dark Crystal instantly. This is why I now refer to what passes as practical economics as “sorcery.” There’s no other label that fits.

Those cautionary words ran here, and originally at TPC, on September 24, 2019. They obtained little traction at either outlet and were almost universally ignored – as was the underlying problem – by the MSM. Yet, the Fed kept extending the madness, the MSM kept ignoring it, the people still read nothing, and I kept making observations.

Couple this with what’s going on with China’s cash crash and you get the feeling that a global financial meltdown is upon us – now, not in the future. Bank run, anyone?

I was admittedly off about a few things. That was on October 8, 2019. At the time, I had no idea what was being planned for early 2020. I also misread the China situation, in tandem with the bifurcation of the world economy. Perhaps, I didn’t misread so much as jump the gun, time-wise.

As-is, China has joined Russia in forging an entirely new and better, more honest economic system. Half the world is signing on with them. In the end, I suspect their nationalist, sovereign take on capitalism – for the people rather than the leeches – will completely dominate the globe. This whole year has seen the beginning of the abandonment of the US-NATO-ZIO-BIS-IMF satanic world disorder, economically and politically. It’s happening, it’s not stopping, and ultimately, it’s a great thing. 

Back to 2019: just how much nonexistent fake money was conjured by the dark sorcerors? We may never really know. The program ran on and on, soon to shift its nature in 2020, and the reporting became nebulous. The magic number of $17 trillion presented itself in December. By that time, Gerald Celente was trying to estimate similarly large totals. Few others, as usual, even noticed. A working formula might look like this: X fake dollars x infinity = B-A-D.

In very early January of 2020, while Orange Man was murdering diplomats, the usual suspects were boasting about the funny money torrents (good is bad, down is up, etc.), and they started singing the tell-tale song of a recession-proof economy. They, the usual suspects, sang the same thing in 2008 – just before the bottom fell out. It’s really a terrible song; if you hear it, pay attention.

Then, as a few might recall, the worst plague in the history of man struck the unsuspecting world – on time, on budget, and in perfect keeping with the biowarfare plan. Seems like there was something about a bat. Yet and still, the money kept flowing. This was, recall, before the Fed and their slaves in Congress started officially trying to crush the bats under a mountain on new funny money spending. 

By that time, I had guessed, to a degree, what was going on. I’d researched the bat bug to the best of my ability. I’d started ridiculing the whole show. I also developed one of several theories, that the C19 hoax was, among other things, “Convenient Collapse Cover” for the in-progress economic collapse. Shutting down the economy and ordinary life, while preparing to QE the daylights out of the (fake) money supply, did go some distance towards obscuring what had been in progress already for six months. Or, really, since 2008. Or, really, since 1913. 

And keeping the dim-witted masses stepping and fetching in fear of the common cold or a shortage of toilet paper was a pretty good plan. It was almost like someone (someone very, very evil) knew the people and knew how to manipulate them. The people, for their part, fell in line without thought or hesitation. It worked. Amazingly it is still working! Just this past weekend, I had the misfortune to overhear two otherwise good and decent people nervously discussing the latest “booster,” and whether it would keep them “safe”. 

Herein and above, I mentioned “creative logical thinking ability,” which is the seventh and highest level in Bloom’s taxonomy. Most ‘Muricans, like the safe booster-seekers, have trouble operating at levels one and two. They really can’t remember what they see, and they have extreme difficulty understanding it. Ergo, today’s title, if you were wondering.

I also put my grand theory in print back in May 2020: How It Might Have Happened: Just A Theory. Read that if you haven’t already. Then, I was forced to make some creative assumptions. Some of the factors are still unknown, but my guesses were pretty accurate. The C19 hoax was far more than a Ponzi scheme accelerator; it was, and is, a biowarfare operation of the satanists against the people of the earth. They’ve inflated the (fake) money supply while deflating the population. A work in progress. And, again, it requires(d) the participation of the masses.

Over two years ago, I again tried to sound a warning. Here, and at TPC, I explained how the con (or, part of it) worked. 

For months, from the very beginning, I’ve described the COVID-19 hype and hysteria as “a ridiculous, low-effort hoax.” I’ve caught a certain amount of flack for this declaration, mainly from people who either put faith in liars or who are unfamiliar with the definition of the word “hoax.” 

Absolutely nothing about this idiotic pandemic nonsense has added up. That goes double, triple, or a hundred-fold for the deaths. First, the scare-mongers warned of 2 – 2.5 million deaths (by about now, if memory serves). Then, they lowered the estimate to the hundreds of thousands. They ignored that most people appear to tolerate the Corona bug as well as they do any other common cold, maybe better. They shifted to the cumulative case count instead of deaths. And, as of this past weekend, they tallied 183,141 total deaths. That number, like just about everything else they’ve said, is an outrageous lie.

The real number of deaths, per the CDC(!) as of August 26, 2020, is … 9,683. That’s how many people have died FROM COVID-19 in the US in 2020. That means the scare tactic figures are off by a factor of twenty. The real numbers lurk in the (quietly reported) data sets. This is from the same government agency that, in May, reported that those stupid masks do not work. Still, the mantra is: wear the mask(!), and fear all the (fictitious) deaths.

The grossly-exaggerated death numbers are not pure fiction. Instead, they come from all those people who died WITH Corona. Most of the others had comorbid conditions. In other words, they were dying from something else anyway and just happened to also test positive for the WuFlu. Most were older people. The average age of a “Corona death” is 78, which conveniently happens to be the average age of death in general.

By that time, even with the inclusion of hard numbers from the same government that was running the bioweapon attack, I was met with outright hostility instead of insouciance. Mencken was right when he said that people love being lied to and are enraged by the truth. That is unlikely to change anytime soon.

This one is running around 2,000 words, so I plan to wrap it up. Since 2020, the truth – as hated as it is – has been made clear to those who can and will see it. We’ve read RFK, Jr.’s book (and now, movie). We’ve seen the weapons programs in Ukraine and elsewhere. The fake vaccines are a proven lethal menace worthy of Nuremberg trials and hangings. Et cetera. 

Fear, mindlessness, willful ignorance, and gullibility are some of the worst comorbid conditions. Things keep moving. Try to do what you can.

(Pre-Pub) UPDATE: A NY court has ruled against NYC’s mandatory vaxx poison decree and ordered that all fired workers, who resisted the illegal mandate, be reinstated with full backpay. Let that be a hopeful lesson. I’m not exactly sure, but I think that most people who held out against the evil are being vindicated. Thus, the supreme importance of standing strong and defiant. Those who caved, I am sure, regret it.

All Quiet On The Werewestern Front

 

Something is coming. Something is already happening. 

Lately, I’ve been making fun of the Sludge Report and it’s ridiculous excuse for aggregate reporting. Along with all the other hype and hysteria, ever since March they’ve been running the same, tired, and false lines about Russia being or becoming defeated. Then, over the weekend, it all dried up and blew away. In lieu of “Putin’s Cancer has COVID” or “Russia Drafts Terrified Toddlers” or “Evil Russians Use Last Missile To Kill Puppies,” all we get in Ye, Donny 45, ancient quarterbacks, and the very important and surely not rigged mid-term election. They have tried to shift a little of the Putin propaganda towards Xi, but as most ‘Muricans don’t know who he is, those efforts fall a little flat.

Your author thinks, again, that the new silence has something to do with Russia unleashing the renewed air game last week – despite our having been assured Russia was finished and incapable of any offensive maneuvers. By the way, as of my writing time, those missile strikes have not abated. They’re extremely effective.

Several things are happening, now and perhaps as a prelude to the winter fun to come. The MOD is pounding the 404 in order to disrupt and destroy what’s left of Ze’s chain of command, and to introduce the civilian population to life without electricity and modern convenience. Think of it as tough love; According to Gen. Sergey Surovikin: “The enemy is the criminal regime that pushes Ukrainian citizens towards death. We are one people with Ukrainians and only wish for Ukraine to be a state independent from the West and NATO and friendly towards Russia.” At the same time, the slow, steady grinding away against the very few functioning Ukie combat units in the east continues. The situation is grim to say the least. And it’s going to get much worse. Evidently, Kiev is beginning to even run out of foreign (NATO) advisers, meddlers, and mercenary stormtroopers. As an aside, someone very recently admitted to me that “our guys” are, in fact, over there – no surprise – and that they have been since 2014 – also not such a surprise. I let him tell me though; and I kept quiet about the following. 

The 300,000 Russian reservists are mobilizing and nearing deployment. I suspect they will mainly serve as MPs, peacekeepers, border guards, anti-terrorism moppers, and general back-up. This will allow the bulk of the already committed regulars to proceed with something very serious. As a reminder, relatively few of these troops, percentage-wise, have been heretofore committed, directly, in-theater. The majority of them have been lurking on the borders and in Belarus like they’re waiting for something (possibly something really stupid from NATO). 

Joining them in Belarus, this week, are around thousands of officers who specialize in command and control. What exactly will they be commanding? Something, obviously. There’s more hardware flowing in as well – to multiple fronts. The “defeated” Russians sure have a lot of extra tanks, APCs, support vehicles, and aircraft – trainload after trainload of them – lying around. It’s almost like the MSM has been lying to us all year!

Again, exactly what all these men, officers, and equipment will do is a mystery. As is the timing. Things are already moving and many suspect the MOD is just waiting for cooler weather before releasing the hounds. A new phase is coming sometime between now and the guessed window of November through March. Thus, the following bits are mere speculation on my part.

The demilitarization and deNazification will proceed apace, and the pace will probably quicken. I’m looking for Medvedev’s spring-summer map to materialize, with at least an area from Kharkiv down to Odessa to fully join the Russian Federation. I’ll leave any estimation about the future of the Bandera’d western third of Ukraine for another day. It’s the central part of the country, where liddle Ze’s drag club is located, that’s the interesting part. Or one of the interesting parts.

I seriously expect a rather dramatic move against the illegitimate Kiev regime. Ze never had any authority to either govern or negotiate, and Putin has mostly given up trying to accomplish the latter point with a puppet. The rumored big ultimatum may drop, but its acceptance by Kiev and NATO is not necessary. Politics with (not “by”) other means means diplomacy supplemented with action, each freely moving as needed. Here, the free movement might lead to the disposition of Ze. By removing him and his gang of thugs things will either get much easier for Russia in pacifying and subduing the rest of the country, or else it will move things in a different direction.

Note that the Chinese, the Indians, and others from the Russia-friendly, sovereign camp obviously know something like this is at hand or right around the corner. That’s probably why they have hastily demanded all of their people to evacuate Ukraine immediately – embassy and consular staff included. That is a warning sign; the Beijing canary is having a fit. New Delhi’s too; M.K. Bhadrakumar informed his government that “India should expect the defeat of the US and NATO, which completes the transition to a multipolar world order.” He’s not alone in his conclusion.

Another interesting possibility, and one related to that different direction, is if the action is no longer contained within Ukraine. Everyone knows this is NATO’s war, not Kiev’s. NATO has brazenly attacked Russia again and again, as they have done for years and even decades (it goes back much earlier than 2014). Will Russia repay the favor? If so, when and how? And where?

The Euro poodles are getting cold feet. They’re facing a terrible winter with low food and fuel supplies. They’ve greatly depleted what weapons they had – for nothing. They’ve been publicly stabbed in the back by the US (NS 1 & 2). And they must know they’ve made the Russians powerfully angry – for nothing. This does not bode well. But it may explain why Germany is suddenly not so keen on shoveling more MOD targets into the 404 and why Macron just said that if Russia goes nuclear, then France will not necessarily react in kind. It’s like they’ve belatedly decided some de-escalation is in order.

For what it’s worth, Russia has no interest in or plans to go nuclear – at least, not in a first-strike capacity. They have no need and they generally abhor superfluous destruction. However, the fact that the MSM has been ignorantly crying about the nonexistent nuke wolf might indicate something. The only people evil and crazy enough to use nuclear weapons are the people who already have. Watch out for the satanists in and around DC, and to a lesser degree, their fellow travelers in London. 

If a nuke goes off anywhere near Ukraine – and, I really don’t foresee that as a likely scenario – then it will almost 100% indicate a super false flag by the Werewest. The details aren’t even worth discussing, as they are completely unknown. However, if it happens, then this thing could go from a schoolyard fight to Armageddon in about thirty minutes. While such a synopsis would be terrible for all, it might well be terminal for the US. Both Andrei Martyanov and Larry Johnson now join me in predicting, based of technical offensive and defensive capabilities, the US could outright lose a nuclear exchange with Russia. Mutually Assured Destruction is no longer mutual.

*(Blowing up the dam above Kherson might accomplish the same level of terrorism).

But, relax a little. It’s much more probable that a direct RUS-NATO conflict will be limited and conventional. It’s in everyone’s better interest that it does not happen. But if it does, then the universal interest becomes short duration. Russia has other, more civilized things to do, and NATO really cannot afford the losses.

Again, even as things go fully kinetic, the details are still speculative. And so, we wait. This winter promises to be many things. Quiet isn’t one of them.

*Also: Dragan Filipovic’s excellent take on where we are and how we got here. This includes why the satanists who conquered the West hate Putin, why they hated JFK, and it even includes the disappeared Deagel 2025 forecast.

*Also: Gen. Surovikin’s public address on matters.

**Also: for nuclear false flag purposes, a “dirty nuke” is a nuke.

A Narrative Blasted to Pieces

 

As my homage to a bygone era, I used to have the Sludge Report under my browser’s “news” tab. Then, once even the pretense of tabloid-accurate reporting departed, I deleted the site. However, as I like a good laugh now and again, I found myself periodically checking in for all the hype, hysteria, and idiocy fit to print. Therefore, I recently re-added Sludge to the daily lineup; now, it’s under “comics,” just below Arkhaven.

Sludge’s reporting on NATO’s war on the free world has, all year, bordered on sci-fi fantasy. Since last month’s greatest counter-offensive in history, we’ve been treated to headlines implying Ukraine mounted the greatest counter-offensive in history. And that Putin was on the ropes. Or that Putin was dead. Or that Putin was dying. Or that Russia was dying. Et cetera. The point was, contrary to reality, that Russia was all but defeated. This week, as the missiles flew in for the season, the narrative had to change.

From Sludge, Oct. 11, 2022:

    • Russia’s brutal missile assaults enter second day…
    • Just miles from NATO border…
    • Kremlin war hawks demand more…
    • ‘Bomb back to 19th century’…
    • Biden scrambles to avert cracks in coalition…
    • Poland carries out checks on bomb shelters…
    • Moscow military ‘exhausted,’ Putin’s judgment ‘flawed,’ UK spy chief says…
    • Desperate Vlad’s double trouble…
    • Zelensky Pleads for More Help
    • Death Rains From Sky
    • Missiles and Drones
    • Rapid Escalation

Sludge also is great at mixing in utterly irrelevant nonsense to confuse the dupes (“Ye” v da Jooooos, etc.). And note that, even as Russia and Putin were previously dead and defeated, they are still exhausted and flawed – despite being able to rain hell and rapidly escalate. One has to wonder whether just a few of the former headlines were a little less than truthful. That, or one simply knows.

Over at MOA, Bernard recently listed some of the fake news headlines about Russia having run out of missiles. Here’s just one-fifth of them:

    • Russia running short on guided missiles, firing indiscriminately – Ukraine – Jerusalem Post – March 17, 2022
    • Has Russia Run Out of Precision-Guided Missiles? – SOFREP – May 23, 2022
    • Putin left scratching head as Russia RUNS OUT of missiles to make ground attacks – Express – Jul 23, 2022
    • Ukraine Situation Report: Kyiv Claims Russia Is Running Low On Missiles – The Drive – Aug 27, 2022
    • Out Of Missiles! Russia Is Left With ‘Limited Stock’ Of Hypersonic Weapons Due To Microchip Shortage – Ukraine – Eurasian Times – Sep 7, 2022

All that, the whole list, all of the MSM reporting all year, is known as propaganda. It’s also called hasbera, bullshit, and lying. All of it is designed to reinforce the narrative that the mighty Werewest is defeating the evil Russkis through the Nazi proxies in Ukraine. The truth is a little different.

Russia is steadily achieving her goals in the SMO. Four new regions and millions of Russians have been added back to Russia. They’ll add even more. The NATO-backed Nazis are being disarmed and eliminated. They will be disarmed and eliminated. NATO has been shown to be weak, pathetic, incompetent, and evil. Europe, due to the collective wickedness and stupidity of its leadership, may well freeze and starve this winter. The USSA, while in better shape than Germany and France (for now), has been revealed to one and all as what it really is – a land of fat retards ruled over by insane satanists. The Amero-Anglo-Ziocon monopoly stranglehold over international finance and monetary policy, with all of its “rules-based” rules and disorder, has been broken. Forever.

Now the tenor and tempo of the SMO is changing. Rumor has it that the Russian ultimatum to NATO/Ukraine may be coming down before too long. And while the clearly-stated goals will continue to be met, there is the very real possibility that the scope may change – it may have already changed – so as to include a CTO, a counter terrorism operation. That’s because the Werewest, through Kiev, has been reduced to the level of a terrorist organization.

Terrorism is popular because it works. It’s cheap, easy, and there are always more targets than men guarding the targets. Yet it is rather unbecoming of a nation-state or a collection of states to engage in such activity when they ordinarily would utilize conventional military tactics. Ukraine and the Werewest resorting to terrorism indicates that it is they, and not Russia, who are all but defeated.

Of course, the Werewest, the USSA in particular, has a long and massive history of terrorism. That history includes, but is not limited to: ISIS, Al-CIA-da, 9/11 (Northwoods), the entire GWOT, the Great Replacement, C19, the murder of Darya Dugina, the Nordstream bombings, and now, the Kerch Bridge bombing. All of these hideously evil events and campaigns indicate an empire in the throes of collapse, wildly thrashing about in search of any victims with which to share its death pangs. Those last three, and a few others, were partially or fully directed at the Russian Federation. Hence, this week’s “blowback” in the 404.

The bridge was the final straw. The attack was allegedly carried out by the Ukranazis with copious planning, financing, assistance, and direction from MI6. In addition to the renewed vigor in the SMO, arrests are underway. One wonders how long the retaliation will remain limited to only the Ukies. Time will tell. But, with the new intensification and the reserve mobilization, it is pretty obvious that Moscow intends to crank up a new and hot phase of the operation. It may already be in progress.

A secondary Russian objective, heretofore, was to minimize any and all civilian casualties. They’ll still try to do that, but I think it now falls into third place, behind first, winning in general, and second, the new focus on utterly eradicating the terrorists. The gloves are slipping now. Here, your author advises all those good guys still in the West – there are more than a few – to ease up on wanting Russia to go the full and total war route. They have their ways. They ways are a little different than … not “ours,” but rather, what our foreign controllers have lulled into accepting for so many decades. Their ways work – as seen in the new, panicked headlines at Sludge.

There are, of course, other fronts in the global war against satanic terrorism. More on that as it develops. Closer to home, the pentagram has announced it is still fighting the “lost cause” against the Confederate States of America. Nine imperial army bases of occupation shall be renamed in keeping with the general decline. Goodbye, Forts Hood, Gordon, and Lee. Hello, Forts (George “Big Boi”) Floyd, (Harvey) Milk, and (Leo) Frank? 

It’s a wild ride with few dull moments.

BONUS: Weapons of War:

Remember when Brandon held his Nazi satanic blood rally? Yeah, worth forgetting. But in one of his threats to the American people, he boasted that to take on a government one needs F-15s. F-15s. Not F-35s. Was that a little truth slipping in? Probably. The F(U) 35 is one of the worst aircraft designs ever, a literal piece of paperweight junk. Odds are it’s being scrapped right now. News came that the pentagram had “suddenly” discovered a Chinese part in the paperweight. There was no surprise because the FU-35 is full of foreign parts, parts that the USSA can no longer make at home. And, so, all new orders have been canceled. One imagines the existing paperweights will soon head for the boneyard. Another wunderwaffe undone. For all the tens of trillions of dollars wasted the past decades on the Werewestern militaries, they have precious few operational systems to show for it. And little to no capacity to build new ones. That is part of the fear and panic they face now that they are confronted by a peer(+?).

There’s all kinds of Zelensky-led hysteria about getting MoAr WeApOnS from the Werewest to include “advanced” air defenses. Some speak of NASAMs. Few of these weapons will go to the 404, because their operational ineffectiveness and near-instant destruction will be clear to all and sundry. Some Ukie demanded Israel send an Iron Dome system – as if there are plenty lying around to send. The response from the IDF, oddly candid, was that the ID is barely capable of stopping a slim majority of the bottle rockets fired by Hamas and would be 100% ineffective against Russia hardware. Magic thinking and magic weapons do not yield magic results.

The NATO Nazis have been providing ISR to the Ukies via aircraft and dozens of ( mostly US) military spy satellites and a few hundred commercial comm models (largely from the Musk Man’s Starlink). Russia eliminated Starlink on Monday. All of the other satellites are vunerable too. Several free discussion forums of the alternative (truthful) media have this week noticed that most of the resident trolls have vanished. It’s hard to troll when you have no electricity or internet.

Once again, and again and again, Russia is not Iraq or the Taliban. The USSA and NATO have no experience fighting a war against a peer(+?), and it shows. AND! Unlike Iraq and the Taliban, if push comes to shove, Russia can shove hard – in the USSA and every other NATO country. Hopefully, it won’t come to that, but these are things to think about. For those who can still think. For those who can’t, enjoy the narrative pendulum.

Mortem Universitatis Magistrorum et Scolarium

 

Greetings, intrepid reader. Here, we have another slightly discombobulated essay on a few things. It’s really not too shabby, come to think about it. I reworked it a few times; the happy, good news is at the end. It’s very good. The first little bit is not, though it is and has been expected. And deserved.

Economic Ragnarok is here.

This was going to be the primary focus, today, but I just don’t have the heart this week. Therefore, just know that the portion of the now bifurcated global economy in and related to the fallen West is collapsing. The crash is here (great read). That’s why 60%(!) of ‘Muricans are working, yet broke. Even the UN is panicking and pleading with the banksters to stop the slaughter. Know that expecting the usurers and their idiot political allies to fix the mess they made is like expecting the drunk driver to resurrect the pedestrian he’s just run over and killed – except the drunk probably didn’t kill out of malice. The big money strategists are now recommending … prayer. I’ve been recommending the same for some time; I’ve also been pointing out the inescapable nature of what’s in progress now. For instance, over three years ago I noted the frantic efforts to save the banks (again). Part of the Covid warfare involved a cover-up and worsening of the pre-existing financial crisis. 

As I stated, I just don’t have the energy for that, today; the horse has tired of its beatings. Interestingly enough, my blog post before that last linked column, from September 2019, was about the “end of education.” I decided to run with that theme again, here and now. Today’s work is closely related to my post this past Saturday, Schools Cause Ignorance. If you’re keeping track, that one was education article number 391. This is, of course, number 392.

Say goodbye to the American university.

Universities are or were, among a few other things, places where competent professionals received training and education. Professionals like doctors. Imagine going to a doctor in the near future. Imagine that the doctor had failed basic biological chemistry. Imagine that, because it’s right around the dystopian corner.

Carlos Slim’s Old Gray Blog (NYT) reports that a horde of potential physicians at NYU just flunked organic chemistry. That’s the kind of chemistry that deals with living organisms and is thus a basis for modern medicine. It might be kind of important that your doctor understand, at a decent level, how an organic or inorganic compound might or might not affect your body. Important if you want to stay alive, that is.

Professor Maitland Jones is a living legend in the world of academia. He taught bio-chemistry at Princeton for years before retiring. He was a rather popular teacher. He literally wrote the textbook on the subject. One might suspect he knows what he’s teaching. NYU suspected as much and hired him out of retirement in 2007. Things initially went well. The NYT article notes that around ten years ago Jones noticed a change for the worse in his students. Simply put, they began to perform at something below the higher level expected in college. And, around the time of the fake pandemic, he observed an outright collapse in student intellect and skill. 

He took what evasive measures he could. There really isn’t a way to properly “dumb down” chemistry without destroying it, and Jones’s old-fashioned methods had served him (and his previous classes) very well. Whatever he did, it wasn’t enough – because it wasn’t his fault, a problem perhaps beyond one man’s ability to solve. The student complaints against his methodology and their own poor results essentially amounted to, “it’s tooooo hard, me no like! Unfair!” 

Despite his attempts to soften a harder science for the new generation, something gave at the end of Jones’s final term at NYU. A slew of his students failed the course. Some of them, on some assignments, earned solid “zero” grades. How that’s possible is anyone’s guess. But do remember many of these kids want to be doctors. 

NYU did the courageous thing and instituted emergency remedial training for the current students while also galvanizing admissions standards for future students. Oops, no – they just erased all the F grades and fired Jones. 

Don’t feel bad for Jones. He’s in his eighties. He retired once and now is happy retiring again. He did his part. Feel bad for society. NYU’s actions – and rest assured they are not limited to one course at the one school – are part and large parcel of the academic fraud I’ve written about nearly 400 times now. In today’s twist, this fraud may meet you in an ER examining room one dark night, probably asking you to breathe deeply while holding a stethoscope to your forehead or the table.

This year, undergraduate tuition at NYU is about $55,000 per year. Yes, that is up about 10,000%(!!!) from 1952, but of course, we know salaries have risen accordingly… If you become a doctor after graduating NYU, then your salary might really and truly keep pace with the inflation (otherwise, TFB). If you go the med school route, at NYU’s Grossman, or Harvard, or somewhere, you’ll need the money as you will likely graduate owing a million fake, nonexistent dollars to Shylock. You’ll need to repay that, whether you understand cellular absorption of oxygen or not. Fraud upon fraud upon decline.

What changed in the student body? Well, many things. For starters, the student body changed. As recently as 1993, students at NYU were 80% White Americans. When Jones started in 2007 the percentage had fallen to just below 50%. His ten year observation of declining performance oddly corresponded with a further, rapid drop or change in the demographics. The “off the cliff” as he put it, over the past two years, might have something to do with Heritage Americans descending to roughly one-fifth of the studentry. This may or may not explain things.

Whoever these kids are, they’re allegedly the kind of “smart” high schoolers who get the “good” grades so as to attend “good” schools like NYU in pursuit of the “good” jobs. Ask a Boomer about how all that works. 

One would assume the kids in Jones’s former classes had excelled at AP, honors, or joint-enrollment STEM classes in high school. One might also assume that, especially with these “smart” kids, their learning was cumulative. Then again, as I noted last Saturday, assumptions are bullshit and the schools, K-12 through college, are anti-cumulative and force negative learning.

These young people, regardless of exactly who or what else they might be, are members of the iPhone generation, with the shortened attention spans and so forth. It’s not just gizmos at work; some many things, processes, and phenomena have rendered vast numbers of several US (and Western) generations literally unable to think. It’s not that they’re not educated. It’s not that no one taught them to think logically. They, many of them, cannot think. Period. This is real, and it is one of the many hard realities of the post-modern age; people today are generally mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically less capable and more damaged than previous generations. This is, to put it mildly, not good.

America’s decades-long experiment in dysgenics is yielding its sad, rotten fruit. I think this is a part of what Brandon was bragging about the other day, about diffusing the hell out of the population. For the benefits. Benefits like a budding MD who can barely read or add or think in a language.

This is, among other things, more evidence of the ten-point drop in average IQ over the past seventy years. Chant: USA! USA! USA! Just don’t ask a Zoomer education victim to explain what those letters stand for.

Yesterday might have been the time to locate and retain a young, competent doctor. In almost all areas, we have now entered the “it’s over” phase. Hopefully, it won’t last that long; but while it does endure, it will be rough.

Now, finally, some very good news! Way back in May, if one can remember that far, I announced that I had finally purchased a box of Goodles. Over the weekend, I got around to eating them. They were the perfect accompaniment for grilled venison backstrap.

It’s all true, listen to GG:

I’m not a food critic. And I come from the South, where charmingly obese women can home cook Mac n’ Cheese like nobody’s business. If you know, then you know – cardiac event, greasy, cheesy good. My bowl of Mover & Shaker was not that. However, I can safely declare and attest that it is by far the best boxed Mac I have ever had. 100% A+ Outstanding! The cheese factor was around 10 (by ordinary standards – a little lower in the be-larded old CSA), and the taste was uniquely wonderful, mildly spicy and rich. Then there’s the heightened nutritional values – and it does not come off, in the least, like “health” food.

Congratulations and thanks to Gal Gadot and the Goodles team. Buy some today. I highly recommend it, especially at the low and reasonable price. For reasons – see the above links – low and reasonable prices are now a most important consideration.

America, elections, it's over, politics

The Importance of Voting in a Democratic Society

 

Like Gandalf before the Black Gate, any who dare read a paper, watch the telly, or scroll a news site must endure taunts and insults from the many Mouths of Mordor – regarding most all things, but especially concerning elections and politics. 

Oddly, very oddly, the emissaries of Barad-dur on the Potomac, who can’t normally speak without chirping about “freedom and democracy,” don’t really like those things when they’re actually practiced. At least not when the practice is by those deemed less-than-worthy of Washington’s rosy, loving, deadly gaze. 

The good people of Italy appear to be a little more intelligent than the French, having elected (by the time this runs(?)) Giorgia “Mamma Calda!” Meloni and her coalition of the right. What passes for the Western media decries a rise of “fascism.” Quaint… Likewise, when the people of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhy, and Kherson exercised, over the weekend and earlier this week, their freedom and democracy by voting (97 – 98% in favor) to join the Russian Federation, satan’s little administration and media puppets squeaked pitifully that the whole thing was a sham that they just refused (huffing like a miffed 13-year-old girl) to accept. Hmmm. It’s almost like they’re lying hypocrites and they only feign interest in electoral freedom when it serves their master’s interests. Very, very odd.

A few words of advice about all that!

To the little, chirping, squeaking luciferians: No. One Cares. Go to hell.

To the proud Russians, new and old: Rock on! Stand strong and be free.

To the Italians: Like the French, the Germans, the Finnish, the British, and the USians, you are obviously under a curse, as indicated by the fact your only real hope comes in the shapely form of a shapely woman. Remember that under God’s law it’s your fault, and that Meloni herself is the indication, not the curse. Take this as a sign that a change – a BIG change – was and is mandatory. Do not sleep; keep taking action.

To the Hon. PM Meloni: Reverse the curse. Boot the invaders, ditch the EU, kill the sanctions, make usury a felony, and you’re very pretty. (Pre-pub update: already the signals are mixed… Wait and see).

Well, that’s that. Another electoral season in the books, and— Oh, yeah, we still have ‘Murica this November.

This meme reminded me of a august personal bit of history:

In his day – which has passed – RP was an important catalyst. He was, I still maintain, the last, best hope for preserving any vestige of the Old Republic. I felt that, and strongly, in 2008 and 2012. Therefore, when wasting my time, energy, and vote in those two presidential elections, I wrote-in Dr. Paul. One might recall that he was very popular heading into and through the GOP primaries, but he was shafted by the party (as Bernie was by the DNC in 2016 and 2020), because his was most-definitely not the allowable style of the Dark State. 

Yes, I know. I’ve written about it. Trump slipped in at the last and did what he could. But he was the last hope, as compared to the last, best hope. In hindsight, I realize that by 2008 the shadows had fallen and perhaps there really was no hope. Still, it didn’t stop me from proudly scoffing at Bathhouse Barry, Hanoi John, Mittens, (and Gary Johnson(?)), and typing “The Hon. Dr. Ron Paul of Texas” on the stupid little, easily-manipulated voting screen. I left knowing my guy would lose, though I felt confident in my choice. Honestly, what other choice was there? It turns out there was no choice.

That, both elections, was back when I lived in the former American state of Georgia, which was corrupt then as it is doomed now. However, in November 2012, for whatever reason I happened to pass by the board of elections office a few days after the election. Again, for whatever reason I decided to go in and check on matters. By then, I knew Dr. Paul didn’t make it. But I still wanted to know. I asked the head bureaucrat at the front desk how many votes Paul received. Without looking at anything and without hesitation, she said, “zero.” Zero in my county and zero state-wide.

When I sheepishly said he had at least one, mine, she directed my attention to Georgia’s sham election laws, which plainly state that only “official” write-ins, pre-conforming to exacting regulations counted, and that RP wasn’t an “official” write-in candidate, and thus, no votes for him were tallied. In the devil’s defense, it’s not, I suppose, like we have and had computers that can instantly, effortlessly sort out and classify a few dozen (or million) independent electoral choices. Of all people, I should have known the law. In my defense, I stupidly believed the fairytale about “every vote counts.” On behalf of the wicked, retarded government of Georgia, the woman told me my vote did not count. 

My vote did not count. You may not live in Georgia – and thank the Lord if you don’t – but the odds are that your state has similar stupid laws. Play by the house rules, or else your vote doesn’t count. In other words, it’s rigged bullshit. It has been for a long time.

So, this November, I will celebrate my tenth anniversary … as a NON-voter! As a child, I liked fairytales, but I don’t believe in them, live by them, or feel obligated to support them. Furthermore, I absolutely refuse to support a system of pure evil. I will not participate.

In the increasingly unlikely event I ever find myself living in a free and civilized society, then I will certainly reconsider my position. 

If you, whatever your circumstances, feel like you should continue to support “your” faction of the uniparty, then by all means, go right ahead. In a few – a very, very few – local matters, voting might literally accomplish something good. However, at the state level, probably in all states, and absolutely at the national level, there is literally no point to or honest, reasonable justification for voting. I will not even begin to address the idiocy of “b-b-but, if we don’t elect R, then D wins!” I also won’t begin to address the obvious fact that three bears did not live in a house and make porridge. I also don’t care about third non-parties, whether named “Green,” or just smoking green, just as I refuse to discuss the logistics of climbing a magic beanstalk to the clouds. (Now, if you’re four, and I have no options, I guess we could talk about cows, harps, and the luck of widow’s sons…).

Allow me to let you in on a little secret. America and the United States are over. It’s done and gone. You and I are out of nice, polite, legal and political options. Right now, we’re just waiting. For what? I think we all know. For when? I think we’ll know – and sooner than later. As-is, unlike in those in the Donbass regions, American elections really are sham affairs. A little crooked meddling probably went into most of them, even in the early days of the founding. There was a slight incident between 1861 and 1865. But since at least the 1950s, centralized corruption has systematically crept into this institution as it has into all others. It culminated in the outright coup and color revolution of 2020. If you think that one and only one election has been and will be rigged and stolen, then you have an imagination to rival the Grimm Brothers. 

One might have noticed that the several last elections have generally changed nothing for the better, regardless of who nominally wins. That is because, and I tire of repeating this, the system serves only itself and its masters (and their one, dark master). It does not serve nor care in the slightest about us. However one votes, Moloch wins. Again, if you’re okay with that, then it’s on you. 

You and I and America will not vote our way out of this terminal predicament. In fact, now, the voting doesn’t matter at all. We have sadly entered into not just the post-ideological age, but also into the post-political age. The politicians themselves, be they in DC, Atlanta, Boston, Albany, Austin, or Sacramento, don’t matter anymore. The dread thing of foreigners and women we have stupidly, weakly allowed to conquer us simply has no need for representative leaders. The ones who are currently in office are there in name only, only to serve the cabal, and no one in the cabal even pretends that they matter anymore. See Brandon, whom literally nobody genuinely believes is in charge of anything. For that matter, see also the Trump, who fought the system, was thwarted by the system, and removed by the system. 

I’m back to where I was two or three years ago. You, dear voters, can elect your D. Or your R. Or both of them at once. And nothing will get better. The great news is that this interregnum, in concert with the general collapse, cannot last very long. When it is over, and after things have been rebuilt, I sincerely hope that one day our children and grandchildren will enjoy the sovereign freedoms that the men and women in Lugansk fight so hard for today. And, do note that they vote for it, and they fight for it. Fight; the heroes in those old children’s stories generally were not passive wimps.

Lay low. Hope on. Prepare to rise.

Moving on Down the X-Axis: a Timeline of American History

 

Howdy, friends! Today’s little column kind is a history lesson of sorts, one that tries to make sense of where we Americans are at the dawn of autumn 2022. I’m still not sure about my title, but I done made me a nice little outline and I’m about to fill it in. This will either be brilliant, or it will become a mess. It might be both. Let’s see what happens.1

*Part of this comes from a brief outline I posted in a FPC forum, 2/10/21.

1776

A diverse group of Judeo-Christian immigrants kicked off a grand proposition against the varied leadership of the world and not merely against King George III of England. X = 0, a starting point, starting with sarcasm, etc.

1777

Christian English American men adopted the Articles of Confederation (AOC) in order to promote and defend the sovereign American States.

1787

Delegates from the several States gathered specifically to make minor adjustments to the AOC. Things went awry.

1789

The traitors delegates instead alchemized the genesis of a way-too-strong and centralized superstate with something called the United States Constitution. The States stupidly pre-relegated themselves into obsolescence by ratifying this thing. Thus began what I termed “America 1.0, Constitutional/Republican America (1789 – 1865).” I deemed this state “good,” meaning it was good enough in comparison to the “best” of the AOC and to today’s … whatever this is.

1791

Here, muh Constitution lovers, came your precious Bill of Rights, added as an afterthought to appease a few wise and prophetic Federalists. All of these rights have since been infringed.

1865

I previously called this the birth of “America 2.0, the American Republican Empire (1865-1913).” I noted it was “not as good, but doable.” I realize the turning point could easily be placed in 1861. From 1861 and 1865 we had some unpleasantness. The States – all of them – lost much. To my Russian friends, I sadly note that your Tsar was one of the only (if not the only) world leaders who picked the very-wrong side of Abradamn Lincoln; your country verbally supported the proto-Nazi imperialism that steadily morphed into the current monster you rightly complain about. Oops. Honest mistake. Could have been made by anyone. And it was, honestly, 160 years in the past. 

To my neo-Confederate friends, I note that this sad episode is 160 years in the past. That was then, this is now, and we are moving forwards.

1913

The year the libertarians fixate on, with some good reason. What a year! I wrote this was the beginning of “America 3.0, the Early US Empire (1913-1941),” with “reversible damage done.” The damage was reversible because the United States was still American. But what damage: the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and the democratization of Senate elections – bad, bad, and bad. Around the same time, we also got the State military-stripping Dick Act (1903) and the democracy-suiciding Nineteenth Amendment (1920). 

And more. The three “Ds” of US decline are demographics, democracy, and debt. During this period, the demographics, which could have been a little better, still held positively. The democracy, which had been growing malignantly, got a terrible boost. And the debt, long silent and irrelevant, made a dashing comeback.

1941

December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy … and allow all kinds of imperial expansion and power grabbing. So began America 3.1, the Middle US Empire (1941-1965). As I noted, even as much, much more damage was done, it was still reversible. Debt and democracy worsened, year-by-year.

1965

Here, we come to America 3:2: the Late US Empire (1965 ~ 2033(?)(est.)). In this age, democracy and debt have reached almost-comical nightmare proportions, and the demographics underwent a terminal change for the disastrous worse.

Peak America, the social, cultural, and economic height of the American nation, of the American People, came sometime around 1960 to 1965. We’ll say it was in 1965, because the decline always starts at the apex and that was the year the worthless shit LBJ signed off on the Hart-Celler Act of Doom. From that point on, the very character of the US was intentionally and maliciously degraded. 

Boomers: the reason everyone hates you with such passion and intensity is that you came of age during this peak prosperity, milked it for all it was worth, did nothing as the decline unfolded, murdered hordes of future children while sucking up every available resource, gave the worst possible advice to the survivors of your abortion genocide while stacking the deck against them, and, dare to blame everyone but yourselves for your failures while, at the same time, continuing to boom about just how fucking great and special you really are. Doctor, pillow. Statim!

During the 1970s, the ramifications of 1965 started to manifest. However, as things still mostly looked the same as always, and most people were under some form of ether, the doomsayers, right as they were, were generally written off as cranks, racists, and conspiracy theorists. From about 1970 to 1980, had substantial action been undertaken, things could have been fixed. Generic conservatives are still stuck in this period, thinking that just a little “law and order” and “putting the foot down” restore the old republic. They’re fifty years out of date, but at least they’re still on the timeline; others, like most libertarians, operate in an alternative reality where saying things like “marijuana” and “liberty” is all that’s magically required. 

From 1980, when the actor was selected to continue the charades, until 1989-90, believe it or not(!), but your author thinks the damage was still reversible. By this time, emergency action was needed. Emergency as in military intervention emergency. Dire. And really, really needed. And nothing of the sort happened. 

The Empire itself probably peaked, military power-wise, in or around 1989, when the Dark State’s own man was selected. The Cold War, as useless as most, was essentially won. Instead of turning greatly-needed attention to the domestic demise – which still looked rather like the good old US of A(!) – the wicked servants of satan turned up the pain dial every chance they had (or could think to make). Instead of reaching out to the Russians in friendship and forging a happy new age, they did the opposite. Pat Buchanan is a little off when he says the neocons slapped the outstretched hand of Russia away. They took it, lied to Moscow, and sent in the financiers with the intention of destroying Russia by looting every last thing of value. Putin, love him or loathe him, was the response; once it was realized what Yeltsin had drunkenly stumbled into, the great Bear reversed course with a harsh eye towards the West.

During the 1990s, while the robber barons scoured Russia for treasure, leaving degeneracy in their wake, their American agents missed opportunity after opportunity to right the American ship. From, say, 1990 onwards, the decline became increasingly extreme and the chances of successfully reversing, or even halting the decline began to lessen.

On or about the time of the Dark State’s election of 2000 and the ensuing Court nonsense, the chances of pulling out reached the fifty-fifty mark. Thereafter, each passing year and low-point saw the odds of success diminish. 

The crash of 2008 and the Great Recession was a grand example of squandered opportunity. Rather than fix anything, the powers that be simply made everything worse. At the same time, as to the military decline, all of the Sandbox foreign adventurism and war was merely the spectacular dying gasps of an Empire in advanced decline. On the homefront – looking at you, Patriot Act – those sacred afterthought rights were unceremoniously laid to rest.

At some point during this period, likely after 2000, the aesthetics caught up with reality: the decline became visible and the US ceased to look overtly American. All the while, the evil among us told us this was all good, that each degradation was some wonderful benefit we really hadn’t lived well without in the past. Inching closer to the current day and year, many still stupidly believe the lies – though fewer as things start to burn.

2020-21

Here, in my 2021 outline, I denoted: “America 3.2a, Final phase of US(SA) Empire in rapid, terminal decline 2020/1 ~ 2033 (est) [4th/5th Gen Civil War smoldering, collapse unstoppable].”

I’ll go ahead and call it: the beginning of the final end came between the failed election of November 2020 and the institution of the fake regime of January 2021. By this time, our chances of saving ourselves had dropped into the low single digits, all hanging on the shoulders of a bloviating real estate salesman, who, I reiterate, was not what we needed but was still better than we deserved. Orange Man, I think, really meant well, but he failed. When he Tweeted away into history, on or about Noon on January 20, 2021, all hope of restoration vanished. The collapse, hard in progress and not some future specter, truly became unstoppable. It doesn’t even hurt to write this: America is over. Dead.

Yes! If someone, say, yours truly, was given unfettered control of the police and the military, and the police and military obeyed and acted as necessary, he could probably pull off a post-hoc miracle. However, the destruction would be so extreme that the alternative, riding out the storm, is the only genuine option left.

How’s that ride going? Grim. Trump’s 2021 acceptance of false defeat was viewed by many, perhaps your author included, as his greatest accomplishment, by which he demonstrated to all and sundry that the political age is over and the entire establishment is corrupt. This message evidently has not been received by large portions of the dull-witted population. Understand that from here on out, your votes mean nothing in national elections, almost all state elections, and possibly most local elections. It’s the age of real, i.e. identity politics. Here follow a few recent examples of how that works in the real world:

People coast to coast are still up in rhetorical arms about CRT and trans faggotry in their children’s government prison camps (schools [SIC]). Yet, they still keep sending the kids to the camps. Abusing your children while whining about someone else’s abuse isn’t a solution – it’s double abuse. Wake up.

The CRT and tranny-ism is even worse in college. And there are few if any benefits to college anymore. Yet, the same morons still insist the kids go to college, even if it means a pile of crushing, illegal, fraudulent, immoral, murderous fake debt they can’t pay off. This prevents them form forging new families and continuing society. Instead of helping, the same retards (die, Boomers!) babble about contracts, grit, how great the retards were, and how lazy the kids are.

I haven’t heard one yet, but I imagine some Boomer-Con fool has learned about the illegal invaders booted out of Martha’s Vineyard , and yelled, “see, them dumb-o-crats are the real racists!” Yeah, dummy, to their great NIMBY credit. Imagine if all Americans had been that “racist” all along. This column wouldn’t be necessary.

While some have been whooping about HIMARS counter-offences in Ukraine, cheering their running back, or vowing to vote for a bipolar, wife-threatening running back, collapsed Jackson, Mississippi has no drinking water. This is a direct product of, not politics, but identity. For eons, the place now know as Jackson was a forest next to a river. White Europeans arrived and built a European city. Now, majority Africans are turning that city into an African village. People behave and live the way they want to and the way their cultures dictate appropriate. See also Detroit, Flynt, Camden, Newark, et cetera, et cetera, etc. The map is becoming a listing of graves.

I saw a meme just the other day that says it all, as memes sometimes do: “America is a corpse being consumed by maggots. Liberals are rooting for the maggots. Conservatives are rooting for the corpse.” In a purely physical sense, that kind of tells you who is more sane: one wants the rotting body consumed and de-putrefied as fast as possible. In the metaphorical sense, the meaning is clear: these wicked idiots are, at best, all living in the dead and gone past. I suppose we should note that the libertarians have not been heard from lately; at last report, they were circling the planet Voluntarist Non-aggression. Probably circling while high.

The dying or dead, collapsed empire is still somewhat dangerous. But it is increasingly irrelevant. The rest of the world is moving on. Russia and China, with the less-powerful sovereign nations behind them, are starting to operate as if we simply aren’t here anymore – even as they clear out the last vestiges of our wayward international interference. 

Our European Satrapies are in a world of (self-inflicted and US-inflicted) hurt. But they will probably weather the conditions and, someday, hopefully, emerge intact and ready to rejoin the civilized world. 

One wonders if remnant Americans and the other peoples now resident between Canada and Mexico want to move on, or are even capable of moving on. I think the other folks, after some egregious violence – it’s going to be BAD – probably do, are, and will. 

If the survivors of the American Posterity (if any) are to do the same, then they will first have to survive, and then wake up and dispense with the magical, retarded thinking. The election coming this November, and the one in 2024 (if allowed) will mean absolutely nothing. Vote if it makes your dim-mind and heart glad, but know you will have years of real toilsome work to do.

2033-

I called this phase, yet to be seen, “America 4.0, Post-US (~2033-).” I wrote, “ hang on to something, pray, prepare to rebuild.” To that unknown end, and to end this write-up, I link to last summer’s Survival Tips for the End of the United States. It’s not too early to get started. 

1: I could clean this up a bit, but there’s no time at the moment. Take it or leave it. As the US collapses in idiocy, Russia is standing up and fighting for civilization.

Another General Look Around

 

Hello and happy Wednesday. It’s another week for a weak column. Not finding any one issue to hone in on, I decided to rapid-fire through several. Here goes.

An Update On World War Three

It’s all over for Vladimir Putin and Russia. Russia has lost. The game changed. Moloch claims total victory. That is, if one reads and trusts the Hasbara tripe pushed by what passes for a media in the NATO-US world. 

The headlines at the left-wing tabloid Sludge Report said it all yesterday: Russia on the Run! Turning Point in War! Putin Humiliated!

Previously, Sludge, MI6, and the NWO told us Russia was defeated mid-March, just after Putin nuked Chernobyl for the seventh time despite his having died four times from cancer. HIMARS highly effective, or something. Hey, look! My Pillow man! All the bullshit fit to digitize.

Ukrainian forces – numbering considerably less than one-million – swooped into a mostly-empty area smaller than Rhode Island where most of them met untimely ends. A few well-placed missile strikes temporarily took parts of Kharkiv down to Jackson, Mississippi levels of utility service – temporarily, and minus the violent crime and hopeless chaos, that is. It almost looks like a feint and a trap set by the MOD. But since idiot ‘Muricans will believe anything (except the truth), then yeah, total victory. When Russia eventually wins the whole ball of wax, one assumes the propagandists will definitively state the opposite and the dupes will believe it. Tiresome.

Elsewhere, China continues the unrestricted game. The Middle East is alarmingly quiet. The midgets next to the Caspian squabble again. And, Georgia considers a plebiscite for action against Russia, which would easily become a pleb-i-cide. In the USSA, the DOD is prepared to fight a two-front war: against heteronormative cis-patriarchy on the one limp wrist, and SNAP for food insecurity on the other. But Marshall sent ND packing, so—

2 + 2 = their write they’re…

In the “nation’s” crapital, reeding and maff pofishenty finally reached Detroit levels! Many, many thanks to the Corona Hoax. Way back in 2019, if one can remember such ancient times, one out of every hundred “students” in DC “schools” could read. Roughly one in a thousand could add. This year, it was discovered that only one child in the system was mildly intelligent. That child, a young Asian girl, was lured into a bathroom by a trans jogger, blessed with diversity, and disabused of any academic inclinations. Amen, and awoman.

The Wall of Separation

America was, as recently as fifty years ago, a ninety-plus percent Christian country. A few, just a few, just a very, very few, little things … have … changed… Based on recent surveying, Pew estimates what’s left of America will be majority atheist or NOT-Christian in less than another fifty years. And that may be an overly-optimistic timeline. And it may be a lucky outcome, given that satandom is rising about as fast as Christendom is falling. It’s almost like … hey! Did you know App State also “Marshalled” somebody?!

She is the Russians of Swing!

Good news! Great news! By far, the best news in this pitiful excuse of a column! If you were waiting on “Gamazda” to cover Dire Straits, then wait no longer!

The Shrinking of the Old Guard

Bad news. He was the lawyer’s lawyer and the judge’s judge. He was a rarity, being in but not of the system. He, to the end, believed in the grandeur and the integrity of the Old Republic – whether it really lived or not. 

The humble, wise, and kind Ken Starr died on Tuesday. 

I first met Mr. Starr in Washington in the fall of 2001. And I ran into him and his lovely Alice multiple times during the next few years. (Somewhere, I have some photos from an ancient Fed-Soc function or three). He was everything any of the decent accolades this week say he was. And more. He was a good man, our man, and we are rapidly running out of his kind. The leadership of the younger generations, if any, must look to his poise, dedication, and sincerity if they are ever to be effective. He will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace, Ken.

That, I think, does it for this week.

A Head Cold In The Northwoods

 

Boy howdy, friends! What a grand few weeks I’ve had lately, gripped with the worst cold and/or flu in recent memory. Was it the dreaded C-19?!?! I don’t know or care as the thing has subsided based on my natural immune system response. You know, the way every infection generally resolves itself – without resort to idiotic theatrics, Halloween masks, or gene-modification, depopulation poison. 

There was, however, something that I could have, once upon a time, taken to alleviate some of the symptoms. Something that’s no longer generally available to the buying public – cold medicine. Remember that? There was once this wonderful chemical, widely available, called Pseudoephedrine. It worked, well, by drying out the gunk that makes one miserable. And it was available until around 2005-06. Then, thanks to retarded satanists with names like Dole and Bush, it was effectively banned. It seems that dopehead-Americans were using the stuff to make meth and the USG outlawed it by making it a “controlled substance.” This was done with an amendment to the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act and charade. 

The Patriot Act, which would have been better named “the Final Freedom Killer Act,” was a (long) pre-planned response to Operation Nine-Elevenwoods, carried out on the morning of September 11, 2001. I’ve written about this BEFORE.

Yes, one can still get moderately effective medicine, in small, controlled quantities, but there’s an added layer of hassle that just isn’t worth it. Thanks, tyrants! It’s hard to buy cold medicine because the DOD and the CIA wanted a war with Russia over Cuba. In 1962.

It started with this:

Northwoods was to become the American extension of the US’s existing terrorism campaign in Cuba under Operation Mongoose. One can read all about these schemes – we know one won’t, but one could – even at Wikipedia. RFK, Jr. summed up his uncle’s response to this evil in Chapter Twelve of that excellent book you probably haven’t read yet and probably won’t read ever:

This is not an outlandish conspiracy theory. During my uncle’s presidential administration, the Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted a plan— termed Operation Northwoods—proposing false flag attacks, including mass murders of random American citizens, to justify an invasion of Cuba. My uncle reacted with horror to Joint Chief Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer’s Northwoods briefing pitch and abruptly walked out of the presentation. “And they call us the human race,” he remarked to his secretary of state, Dean Rusk.

-Kennedy Jr., Robert F., The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health (Children’s Health Defense) (pp. 798-799). Skyhorse. Kindle Edition (2021). 

JFK did more than walk out on the proposal; for his efforts to kindly govern a sane nation he was eliminated. The plan simmered for four decades, was re-tinkered, and launched. The fake terror attacks of 9/11 were Northwoods. Period. The satanic cult masquerading as “your” government, attacked you. Again. And again. And again. The Dark Brandon Moloch-Nazi rally last week in Philadelphia was not an aberration. That’s their real face.

Another anniversary is upon us, coming up this Sunday. Does anyone still remember? Does anyone ever ask questions anymore? It wasn’t just the Pentagram and WTC 1 & 2. Also damaged or destroyed were St. Nicholas Church, Deutsche Bank, part of the World Financial Center, and WTC buildings 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. That’s a lot of destruction. Some things were probably covered up for myriad reasons. Nobody responsible has ever been held accountable and probably won’t be – in this life. Does anyone care?

Probably not. Too many hoaxes have come and gone since. Some are in progress now. More are on the way. I suppose for the average idiot, it’s best to remain in the dark. Anyway, enjoy your freedom fries. Try not to get sick.

*In the future, I may get around to the economic-legal and the societal reasons for annulling student loans and abolishing fraudulent fake debts. Or not. We’ll find out. I’ve given thought to other matters as well.

How About Murder?

Opposing Student Debt Forgiveness Subborns Evil:

A Christian Perspective

 

*Perhaps unwisely, I am publishing this as-is and unedited. It’s a little rough and not as artfully brushed together as I’d like. Still, it’s rather irrefutable – from any good and honest perspective. I may touch it up some, or not; I have one of the darndest head colds ever and don’t feel at all like going any further. Enjoy. 

 

As far as I can tell, there are two primary reasons why one would oppose eliminating American student loan debts, in particular, and (perhaps) all fake, credit-based, usurious loans, in general: 1) one is either ignorant (and/or stupid), or 2) one is possessed of wickedness, of a spirit of evil. I understand there may be categorical overlap. There are multiple reasons to favor loan forgiveness. Chief among them are the facts that these loans: 1) are greatly assisting the general destruction of society; 2) consist of legal, economic, and monetary fraud stacked upon fraud, and; 3) contravene the tenets of Christianity, directly opposing the will of Jesus Christ and His Father.

Herein, I will concentrate on the Christian perspective. Lately, Christians are making their voices heard on this matter. Dark state puppet and fake president Biden, allegedly a Catholic, has stirred interest and controversy by touting a plan to shift some debtors’ burdens ($10,000 – 20,000 per debtor) via another spending spree bill. The plan, as presented, is fraught with problems, though it is a stumbling, half-step in the right direction. Many reactions to the plan, even from other alleged Christians, are at best selfish, short-sighted, and solipsistic. 

Even Ron Paul has objected. I suppose that he understands the true underlying evil and would – I know he would – right all the wrongs. Others don’t get such benefit of the doubt. Thanks to a friend’s email about something else, I inadvertently came across a Tweet(!) by a Matt Walsh: 

Yes, you were scammed when you took out your student loans. You got suckered. You bought a worthless thing for way too much money. That’s true. But making someone else pay for your mistakes is a greater injustice. It sucks that you have the debt but it is your debt. Not mine.

-Tweet(!) of Matt Walsh, August 23, 2022.

Not knowing who Matt Walsh is, I did some quick research. The man purports to be Catholic, like former vice president Biden and myself, and also describes himself as a “theocratic fascist.” He also appears to be in league with Benjamin Aaron Shapiro, so I suppose there might be a question as to the theos in the theocracy. But his statement sums up much of the current hyperbole: he acknowledges that a scam suckered the victims, whom he then blames, shuns, and disowns. 

Other comments I have seen, from the left, the right, and the inebriated libertarian center, go further and to worse effect. Most of them fall along the lines of argumentum ad personalem (I paid my loans! I’m better than you!) or argumentum ad hominem (You ain’t paid yer loan! You ain’t good as me! And your major sucked, you commie…); both miss the reality that there is a world outside of the self. It is not all “me, me, meeee!”

Before moving to Biblical precepts, I thought it advantageous to briefly examine the thoughts of two men well-grounded in reality and logical reasoning. Neither of them were Christians, both living and dying before the Holy Birth of Christ. Yet their thoughts which I give in example are in-line with the teachings of the Catholic Church – consider it further proof of Truth by universal acceptance and understanding. 

In or around 44 BC, Old Tully related an alleged conversation between the mighty Cato and a presumably ambitious young Patrician. I’ve elsewhere read that the younger man was attempting to goad Cato into ratifying the man’s pre-selected occupation. The conversation is presented as an example of competing expediencies or comparative outward advantages. It did not go exactly as the young man had hoped:

To this class of comparisons belongs that famous saying of old Cato’s: when he was asked what was the most profitable feature of an estate, he replied: “Raising cattle successfully.” What next to that? “Raising cattle with fair success.” And next? “Raising cattle with but slight success.” And fourth? “Raising crops.” And when his questioner said, “How about money-lending?” Cato replied: “How about murder?”

-M.T. Cicero, De Officiis, II, § 89 (W. Miller) (Loeb, 1913).

Keep that response in mind: why did Cato equate money-lending with murder? 

We’re going to get to the answers. But first, a brief look at the magnitude of the problem currently faced by American college students and graduates who indebted themselves in pursuit of academic credentials.

Ye Old National Debt Clock, as of Wednesday, August 31, 2022, says the total US student loan debt is somewhere around $1.768 trillion (it’s higher, now that you’re reading this). That’s a lot of debt, and a considerable portion of the total outstanding personal debt in the US. It averages to about $40,000 per debtor, which mathematically produces a total college debtor class of about 44 million people. (As an aside, the Debt Clock explains in stark terms, and immediately below the student loan numbers, how and why all the credit money is utterly fake – statistically, there is zero real money in the economy. Again, that is an aside.).

The Census Bureau recently told me, as far as I one can trust them, that about 85 million US residents and citizens hold some level of college education (roughly 25% of the total US population). Either 44 million or 85 million is a little high, in my estimation; I would presume that fewer than 10% of the population has any real need of or derives any real benefit from higher education. This assumes that any of them are receiving an education – which most of them are not. Mr. Walsh is correct as to the scam and the suckering. Of course, that falls under the decline of society and outside the parameters of this essay.

Also outside the Christian scope of discussion – but still worth noting – are the inflationary effects of too many people attending college. That inflation, along with many other factors (women in the workforce, immigrants in the workforce, massive credit financialization in the general economy, etc.), has completely erased the definition and the concept of money, regarding education or anything else. If the wages of 1950 had kept pace with the cost of a new house, then today the average single-job annual salary would be around $300,000 nationwide. Minimum wage would pay something like $75,000 per year. As-is, NBC “News,” in another of those cherished “you gotta go to college!” hit pieces, says “good jobs,” only obtainable with a sacred degree, have starting salaries of … $35,000. It’s not that something doesn’t add up; nothing adds up. 

Like houses and other large-ticket items, education has soared far above and beyond the corresponding costs of labor. (In other words, kids, you are losing). And, sadly, there’s something uniquely or exceptionally American about the disparity. The late, great Tom Moore wrote School For Genius (2006) about Switzerland’s Federal Institute of Technology, or ETH. Lately, ETH charges around 730 CHF per semester in tuition, which roughly equals $1,500 per year. MIT offers a similar education (or, it once did), for an annual tuition of $57,000. Back in 1950, when the average American man earned $6,000 per year, MIT, like Harvard and other “elite” schools, charged something like $500 per year. 

It’s like this for each and every other US school. For many or most students, the only way to cope is through loans, which repeat and exacerbate the problem. Scam. Suckers.

What would Jesus say about all of this? He said forgive it.

“And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven those who are in debt to us.” Matthew 6:12.

For the quantum edits folks, the Codex Sinaiticus quoted, in Greek, “debts” not trespasses. That, for what it’s worth, was in or about 350 AD.

Some Christians and churches have transmuted that part of the Lord’s Prayer into “sins” rather than “debts.” That is somewhat understandable, though incomplete. Elsewhere in the Gospels, it’s: “…and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive each one who is in debt to us. …” Luke 11:3-4. Sin and debt go together, and both are forgiven upon righteous and humble request.

Jesus drove home the importance of forgiveness of debt, along with the punishment for refusing to forgive debt, in the Parable of the Wicked Servant: 

Then the master sent for the man and said to him, “You wicked servant, I cancelled all that debt of yours when you appealed to me. Were you not bound, then, to have pity on your fellow-servant just as I had pity on you?” And in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers till he should pay all his debt.

-Matthew 18:32-34.

One is reminded that, as Jesus came to fulfil rather than replace The Law, so His New Testament generally mirrors the Old. Forgiveness of debts stems from the Levitical Law and the Code of Legal Holiness. 

Leviticus, Chapter 25, concerns the Sabbatical Year and the Jubilee Year. Sabbatical years, which concern far more than debts, come every seventh year. Seven cycles of seven years, or forty-nine years, leads to the fifttieth year of Jubilee. The Sabbatical and the Jubilee may be thought of as minor and major resets. In years seven, fourteen, twenty-one, twenty-eight, thirty-five, forty-two, and forty-eight, as to debts, there is a “relaxation” or “remission.” 

At the end of every seven years, you must grant remission. The nature of the remission is as follows: any creditor holding a personal pledge obtained from his fellow must release him from it; he must not exploit his fellow or his brother once the latter has appealed to Yahweh for remission. A foreigner you may exploit, but you must remit whatever claim you have on your brother. There must, then, be no poor among you. For Yahweh will grant you his blessing in the country which Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as your heritage, only if you pay careful attention to the voice of Yahweh your God, by keeping and practising all these commandments which I am enjoining on you today.

-Deuteronomy 15:1-5.

Note that the Lord, here, prescribed the debt-creditor remissions of His People of the day, the Israelites. The point of inclusivity is that among the Hebrews there was to be economic equality of a degree, and that the blessings of God only extended to the degree His Laws were honored.

The Jubilee Year dealt with, in addition to elimination of domestic debts, a complete ancestral and cultural reversion. See, Leviticus 25:8—. Much of this law was exclusive to the Israelites and held, even as to them, some exceptions which might not be applicable to modern peoples, Christian, Karaite, or others (land within or without certain walled cities, for example). 

Leviticus also contains a strict prohibition against usury (one of several in the Pentateuch and the Old Testament) as to fellow Israelites. “Do not charge [your brother or countryman] interest on a loan, but fear your God, and let your brother live with you.” Leviticus 25:36. For those who fail to fear and honor their God, Chapter 26 explains the rather exacting Punishments of Disobedience. These are the same punishments the Hebrews (and “Jews”) eventually succumbed to upon their rejection of Christ.

Christ came to fulfill, and in a way, simplify the laws which very few had been able to faithfully follow through the many long years. It is interesting that the forgiveness of debts survived to become a central tenet of the Lord’s Prayer. It is also interesting, though not exactly necessary to point out, that at all times, Jesus, His Father, Moses, Aaron, and everyone else, were concerned with debts based on real money, whether silver shekels, Roman silver, gold, etc. Usury was prohibited, even in terms of actual money with legitimate value in and of itself, as a sin. 

St. Thomas Aquinas examines the nature of the sin of usury, in Question 78 of the Summa Theologiae. After listing, and before defeating, seven objections to the concept of usury as a sin, Aquinas explains:

On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:25): “If thou lend money to any of thy people that is poor, that dwelleth with thee, thou shalt not be hard upon them as an extortioner, nor oppress them with usuries.”

I answer that, To take usury for money lent is unjust in itself, because this is to sell what does not exist, and this evidently leads to inequality which is contrary to justice. In order to make this evident, we must observe that there are certain things the use of which consists in their consumption: thus we consume wine when we use it for drink and we consume wheat when we use it for food. Wherefore in such like things the use of the thing must not be reckoned apart from the thing itself, and whoever is granted the use of the thing, is granted the thing itself and for this reason, to lend things of this kin is to transfer the ownership. Accordingly if a man wanted to sell wine separately from the use of the wine, he would be selling the same thing twice, or he would be selling what does not exist, wherefore he would evidently commit a sin of injustice. On like manner he commits an injustice who lends wine or wheat, and asks for double payment, viz. one, the return of the thing in equal measure, the other, the price of the use, which is called usury.

On the other hand, there are things the use of which does not consist in their consumption: thus to use a house is to dwell in it, not to destroy it. Wherefore in such things both may be granted: for instance, one man may hand over to another the ownership of his house while reserving to himself the use of it for a time, or vice versa, he may grant the use of the house, while retaining the ownership. For this reason a man may lawfully make a charge for the use of his house, and, besides this, revendicate the house from the person to whom he has granted its use, as happens in renting and letting a house.

Now money, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 5; Polit. i, 3) was invented chiefly for the purpose of exchange: and consequently the proper and principal use of money is its consumption or alienation whereby it is sunk in exchange. Hence it is by its very nature unlawful to take payment for the use of money lent, which payment is known as usury: and just as a man is bound to restore other ill-gotten goods, so is he bound to restore the money which he has taken in usury.

– Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, § 78, Sin of Usury (“THE Philosopher” is Aristotle).

Again, in Aquinas’s thirteenth century, money, debt, and usury, was calculated as to legitimate money, rather than ones and zeros summoned effortlessly from a computer. How much worse is our present situation, when all the money, not just the elusive interest, does not exist? Also, usury means interest, period, and not “excessive” interest as modern usurers tell.

The fake “money” for a modern loan, like a student loan, is created by the loan itself. It does not exist in reality. Under no circumstances does the interest for a loan otherwise exist. Repayment, with interest, works like this: a loan (real or fake) is made; the debtor must work to obtain money (real or fake) to repay it, and; the debtor must work extra hard to conjure the interest money (real or fake), in essence robbing Peter to pay Paul. This process of robbery and overwork, for something that does not exist and which cost the lender nothing to loan, requires the debtor to literally give up a portion of his life in repayment. 

Without the benefit of Hebrew law, Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church, or any other part of Christianity, Old Cato was onto something. It’s something that nominal Catholics like Mr. Walsh and poor Biden (and others) would do well to consider.

The fifth commandment [6th to some (8th(!) to a very few)] forbids doing anything with the intention of indirectly bringing about a person’s death. The moral law prohibits exposing someone to mortal danger without grave reason, as well as refusing assistance to a person in danger.

The acceptance by human society of murderous famines, without efforts to remedy them, is a scandalous injustice and a grave offense. Those whose usurious and avaricious dealings lead to the hunger and death of their brethren in the human family indirectly commit homicide, which is imputable to them. …

–Catechism of the Catholic Church, Para. 2269 (2nd Ed., 1994).

Usury is not theft. It is not robbery. It is a form of full or partial murder. 

PS: for a great summary, for those who don’t read, of the economic and societal evils of the debts, listen to Vox’s Darkstream No. 919.

fiction, Tom Moore

More on Moore

 

Greetings, friends. This one, given the circumstances, will be a little shorter than usual.

Saturday, August 27th, marks a full year since Thomas G. Moore left us holding the bag of post-modern doom and gloom. One can’t blame him for getting while the getting was good, though I’m still a little upset about it. So much has happened during the past twelve months that would have benefited from his observations. But while he was here, he certainly did his part.

His Amazon author’s page says much: “Thomas Moore writes historical fiction, recognizing that certain events from the past impart dramatic power to his fictional scenarios set in the present. He seeks to entertain as well as illuminate, to engage the heart as well as the mind.” That last bit says it all and is bolstered by a great Faulkner quote: “The best fiction is far more true than any journalism.”

So it is. Tom recognized the fact. He liked to say that good fiction allowed for a better imparting of genuine ideas, better than the best dialectical diatribe because it engaged the reader’s heart and emotion instead of simply the mind. It grants a degree of participation.

Sometimes a novel will plant a little seed that doesn’t sprout for some time. Tom and I had a few mutually favorite books. One of them, which I need not name at this time, brought an idea to my mind recently, something that I witnessed and was able to confirm, even though the connection came years after the fact. It had to do with a certain cinq ans period. I could not convince most readers of the truism therein even as many or most of them have lived through the exact experience. C’est la vie.

At any rate, there is plenty of illumination and heart in Tom’s published works.

I’ve declared that A Fatal Mercy (2019) is one of the best Civil War fictional stories ever written. Had it been published in 1959, it would have probably sold ten million copies. It’s one of the best books your not reading – the shame is yours.

The Hunt for Confederate Gold (2014) ain’t bad either. Tom declared it a little amateurish, but I liked it nonetheless. I think rather than being a dilettante work, it merely pushes hard, timely concepts at a faster pace than perhaps the author intended. However, it does so within an excellent storyline.

To my shame, I have not yet read No Villains No Heroes (2012). Tom spoke highly and exuberantly about it, so it must be with the effort!

He also wrote the non-fiction School for Genius (2006, N. Am.) about the ETH in Zurich, a book that answers one question of what Einstein and von Braun had in common. For the gifted young American student, here’s an independent tidbit to illuminate some things and enrage, er, engage the heart: one can get a comparable education at MIT for only … 35 TIMES the annual tuition cost. USA! Usa. U ass eh?

And, there was more. So much Moore.

Requiescant in pace, Frater.
