October Seventh

Today is, of course, the second anniversary of Hamas’s noble strike back against a century of radical Jewish terrorism and oppression. The result has been two years of genocide. I do not trust the current “peace” plan nor any such scheme foisted by the perpetrators. There’s not much to trust, so large doses of faith are in order. Also, some of the wicked morons in the town where I exist have put up both Yankee AND Zionist flags in support of the genocide or satanism or something. Sad…

BUT! Today is also the 73rd birthday of the leader of the free world. Happy birthday, President Putin! Many more to come.

COLUMN: Fall is in the Air

Fall is in the Air

 

Fall, my favorite season, has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. Hurray! The weather is pleasant, there are football games, the cigars taste better, and my brain reactivates after the usual summer slumber. In the wider world, the new polycentric order moves forward. China actively formulates the 15th Five-Year Plan. Vladimir Putin just held his annual upbeat discussion with the Valdai Club. Yet Russia, China, Iran, and the rest must still pay close attention to that odd nation-shaped kind of place between Mexico and Canada. Amerika continues to be as strange and threatening as ever. 

The U.S. Department of Defense (aka, the Department of War) (aka, the Department of Incompetence) appears to have largely abandoned plans for a splendid new war with China—for now. One defeat at a time, right? As for NATO’s war against Russia, who really knows at this point? Perhaps the U.S. will leave the assorted chihuahuas of Europe to their demise. Or, maybe some combination of Tomahawks won’t do the trick. Nothing will work, and even the dunderheads in D.C. seem to accept the truth begrudgingly. Still, something tells me they’ll hang around and do as much damage as possible before taking an eventual exit ramp.

Meanwhile, Iran, Venezuela, and maybe even Afghanistan should look forward to a little more old-fashioned Yankee gunpoint meddling. The way the Department of Incompetence is positioning hardware and personnel, it very much looks like destabilization strikes are imminent against Caracas and Tehran. The U.S. national interests in both countries are clear: oil and energy with the former, and whatever “Israel” wants with the latter. Amerikans, this is what you get when you surrender your country to usurious con artists and Zionist lunatics. Something tells me that the adventurism won’t work out in D.C.’s favor, but still, friends in Iran and Venezuela, please stay vigilant and defiant. 

There’s also the endless Yankee support for the Zionists’ genocide of the Palestinians and the pursuit of “Greater Israel.” Sixty-six thousand Palestinians, most of them women and children, are already officially dead. It’s seventy-five thousand if the “missing” are included. And that’s probably a terrible undercount; the current estimates now include an upper bound of 680,000 dead. This will go down in history as one of the most horrible slaughters ever. 

History will not look kindly on the satanic perpetrators and enablers of the Gazacaust. Future chronicles will favorably remember the Resistance, both in West Asia and in the larger multipolar order. The Palestinians will be remembered kindly, lionized even. God forbid, if they are literally exterminated, then they will become eternal legends to overshadow the Spartans at Thermopylae, the holdouts at Masada, and the doomed denizens of Melos. 

Future annals will also likely carve out a special study of those most gullible and insouciant of all peoples, the Amerikans. Few will understand how such seemingly intelligent, well-armed, and allegedly Christian folks just sat idly, stupidly by and did nothing. And that leads me to a quick take on the nearly incomprehensible happenings on the Amerikan homefront.

For the life of me, I still haven’t figured out exactly what rules over Amerika. I know it’s a “what” and not a “who.” Whatever it is, and it’s probably demonic, has no use for free and happy Amerikans. They will be its final victims once all of the overseas madness fails. Donald Trump is no more in charge than his brainless predecessor, Sleepy Jo—

Wait a second! I just remembered that I have been reliably and repeatedly informed that “things have changed” in Amerika following the alleged assassination of a secular saint, diversionary gatekeeper, and hardcore Judeo-satanic apologist known as the “Man of Steel.” I think it was his Freemasonic circus ceremony, er, excuse me, his “funeral” that did it. Good thing too as it saves me from discussing the fate of the Amerikan people. I had suspected that they were being set up for permanent slavery or worse, but there’s no point in rehashing any of that. Few Amerikans care much about their future, and even fewer care abroad. 

Lastly, and ending on a high note, there’s the usual fall literature. For those who caught it, I hope you enjoyed my review of The Thorn and the Carnation by Martyr Yahya Sinwar. I’m in the middle of The Water Dancer, an unusually good novel by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, Episode I: Bad Boy by the base master of English novelization, Chris Orcutt, is coming early next year. I’ve already written my review of Bad Boy, so stay tuned. I’ll have a new novel out before too long, so there’s that. All of these books, by the way, carry important messages and lessons about life, death, hope, and endurance. When all else fails, there are always books. 

Deo vindice.

Make It Permanent

The last US cult government shutdown, in 2018, only lasted a little more than a month. Here’s hoping the current version goes eternal.

The US federal government has shut down for the first time in almost seven years after Republicans and Democrats failed to agree on a spending bill in the Senate.

The deadline to approve the funds for running the government expired on Wednesday, as both parties rejected each other’s spending plans in a back-to-back vote.

NOT TO WORRY! Funds will be found to keep on committing war crimes and genocide around the world. MAGA!

 

The Continuing Experiment

What this study calls “a massive social experiment” is nothing new.

A Massive Social Experiment

The digital economy includes “those businesses that increasingly rely upon information technology, data and the internet for their business models.” The companies dominating the digital economy continue to undertake a massive social experiment where they keep the lion’s share of the benefits while shunting the risks onto society as a whole.

This could lead to a systemic digital crisis, ranging from a widespread breakdown of basic infrastructure, such as electricity or telecommunications due to a cyberattack, to an attack that modifies existing infrastructure to make it dangerous.

Keeping all the benefits while foisting all responsibility and risk on the people is how post-Westphalian enlightenment nation-states operate. It’s one of their core purposes. This is exactly how the Virginia Co. operated and how [pick a hedge fund] operates. Civilized countries that care about their citizens don’t allow this.

Yes, It Was Censorship

The last five years have kind of flown by. Waaaay back in 2020, the Freedom Prepper gang, the PPN, and yours truly started to get backlash from certain social media outfits (namely YouTube and Farcebook) about some of our podcast videos. I’ve kind of forgotten, but it seems like the following were off limits: 1) truth about the C19 hoax and fake vaccines, 2) truth about the fake 2020 election, and 3) barest mention of some real central banking practices.

Now, they’re admitting what everyone knew back then.

JUST IN – YouTube admits to having censored people during the COVID pandemic, and for political reasons. Offers terminated creators the opportunity to rejoin the platform.

We were never fully booted, we just had videos disappeared. And it’s a little late for FP anyway. Ah, those were the days. But on behalf of Scott, Joyce, Joanna, myself, and the entire crew, I hereby accept this token vindication.

Fifteen Plans

Contrary to so much libertardian derping, China is proof that centralized planning goes a long way, economically and culturally. Part of the Sino success might have to do with their plans being for the good of the Chinese and not for the benefit of pedophiles and satanists. Here, in a coherent message one will never find at any Western corporate outlets, President Xi Jinping gives a brief history of the CPC’s 14 previous 5-year plans and a preview of the coming 15th.

Using Medium- and Long-Term Plans to Guide China’s Economic and Social Development Is a Key Governance Approach of Our Party

The formulation and implementation of well-crafted five-year plans represents a crucial governance lesson of our Party and an important political strength of Chinese socialism. In planning economic and social development for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must accurately grasp the development requirements for that period, aligning them with the overarching goals of building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation. Focusing on the objectives of basically realizing socialist modernization, we must define our objectives and tasks and introduce approaches and measures sector by sector. A thorough analysis and deliberation of these objectives and tasks are essential to ensure that they are well-grounded, precisely targeted, and achievable within the stipulated timeframe. We should adopt a coordinated approach, pinpointing key and decisive factors while carefully managing the pace of our progress. Efforts must concentrate on consolidating and expanding strengths, breaking through bottlenecks, addressing weaknesses, and improving development quality and efficiency, while maintaining consistency between sectoral targets and overall national objectives.

BOOK REVIEW: THE THORN AND THE CARNATION by Martyr Yahya Al-Sinwar

THE THORN AND THE CARNATION

by Martyr Yahya Al-Sinwar

Review by Perrin Lovett

 

This review concerns a novel that I became aware of during the Palestinian Genocide (2023—). It took a while before I found a seemingly trustworthy English translation. As with all Palestine-related books I have read over the past few years, this one commands respect. It dramatically narrates a horrible episode of shameful history and it does so through an incredible and gripping story. 

(2024 English translation covers.)

*Sinwar, Yahya, The Thorn and the Carnation, Algiers: TASQ, 2004 (English translation, 2024).

Yahya Sinwar was the fourth leader of the Hamas political party in Palestine and Hamas’s resistance leader in Gaza. During the Palestinian Genocide, he was murdered by “Israeli” Occupation forces on October 16, 2024. Perhaps already mortally wounded, he rested quietly in a chair in a bombed-out apartment. When approached by an Occupation drone, he greeted it with a cold look and a thrown stick. So was born “Sinwar’s Stick,” a neological proverb for sumud defiance against all odds, without surrender even at the end. Sinwar lived the spirit of his posthumous eponymous maxim his entire adult life. He wrote The Thorn and the Carnation while in a Zionist prison. 

The book has been called autobiographical or semi-autobiographical. It has also been described as a collection of thematic stories. I call it reality-informed historical fiction—drama tinged with action, romance, and suspense. Reading it, one may have difficulty separating the author from his characters. In this case, such conflation adds rather than detracts or distracts. Your reviewer also kept comparing the flowing story in the book to the ongoing saga in Palestine. I had a similar experience while reading and reviewing Yarwa Hawari’s The Stone House, another excellent dramatization. These stories are, of course, part of the moving history of West Asia; as even the publisher notes in a Goodreads summary: 

The Thorn and the Carnation serves as a clarion call to comprehend the Palestinian reality—a narrative penned by those who refuse to be silenced, speaking directly to the heart of the global community. It is a narrative of resistance, of profound cultural identity, and an unyielding quest for freedom and justice, echoed in the authentic voices of its characters.

The entire tale is extraordinarily well-written, a feature that shines through translation. And it is compelling both of its own accord and because it was written by an author who provided the authenticity of an expert, a witness, and a participant. The story begins in 1967 during the “Setback” and runs until the turn of the century. The plot is largely narrated through the eyes of Ahmad, a boy who grows into a man as fictional time progresses. Sinwar went to great lengths to build a convincing world for Ahmad, his brother, Mahmoud, the rest of their family, friends, conspirators, enemies, and historical figures. 

So much of the story reminds me of everything I’ve read and learned about Palestinian life: the heroic optimism, dedication to family, faith, and tradition, and all. Sinwar successfully weaves all elements together in a way that showcases local life, the ordinary and the unusual, all while furthering the plot and its theme, resistance. This is summarized in chapter twenty, concerning the evolution of the Palestinian cause during the 1980s: “He envisioned the rebellion turning into a constant state of resistance, becoming the main focus of Palestinian life, with all other aspects, including education, work, and health, adapting to support this central goal until the occupation is defeated.”

Several aspects of this vision, in the book, and as I’ve observed during the literal conflict, jump out at me: there appears to be an unconquerable spirit within Palestinians grounded heavily in their faith, centered in family life, empowered by education, and propelled by constantly doing what has to be done. That theme and spirited dedication should inspire the entire world (even those few Americans still possessed of faith, wits, and muscle). The story ends with another of those localized tragedies that Palestinians perpetually turn into triumphs. Twenty years after that fictional ending, the genuine story of Palestine—Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond—still defies the odds, ever pressing onward towards victory.

I highly recommend and laud The Thorn and the Carnation. It is yet another excellent volume for any Palestine-centric library and a worthy tome of general literature. Please consult Goodreads for obtainment options.
