Note: There is a post up behind the green door on the movie Pulp Fiction, which clocks in at #95 on the top-100 list. There is a post up at Taki on the change we are seeing in the political climate.
What has gotten the most attention on this side this past week is the hypocrisy by the ruling class and their histrionic flunkies in the media over the peaceful protest in the Capitol last week. The first response of normal people is to note how the same people raging about these protests were celebrating violent riots in the summer. In what remains of the internet, people have been posting examples of people in politics or the media saying the exact opposite of what they said a few months ago.
Normal people have been programmed to think hypocrisy is important, even though it is clearly not important to the people in the ruling class. Normal people are taught that a civil society operates by a clear set of rules that apply to everyone. When the people in the ruling class have one set of rules for normal people and a different set of rules for themselves, normal people get mad. The ruling class, however, does not care, as there is one set of rules for them and another for the rest of us.
This focus on hypocrisy has left something unnoticed. That is the increasingly overwrought behavior of our rulers. They have become a collection of hysterical drama queens, who carry on like the world is about to end. This is the one thread connecting all of the insanity we have experienced from our rulers recently. Their reaction is wildly out of proportion from what is expected. The actual news, when you think about it, is always about their emotionally charged reaction to mostly normal events.
If we go way back to the 2016 election, the political class reacted as if the most important man in history had come out of his cryogenic chamber in Paraguay and seized control of the government. Instead of analyzing why it was there preferred option was rejected and making the normal adjustments, they concocted wild fantasies about invisible Russians and carried on like teenage girls for four years. It has already been forgotten, but they really believed that Russia stuff.
The Covid stuff is another great example. The local tyrants have used this minor public health issue to feature themselves in a drama of their own creation. In this story, they are heroically fighting the great virus enemy. They are rallying the people in a great cause to prevent the extinction of mankind. The media slavishly reports on their great deeds as if they are out slaying dragons or facing the Black Knight. The buffoonish governor of New York even had a book written about his heroism.
What should be a minor public health issue has been turned into a great drama acted out by emotionally unstable people. According to the CDC, over 250 million people have been tested with 22 million confirmed cases. Total deaths in 2020 were in line with what you would expect, given the country’s demographics. A little higher due to Covid and a little higher due to the reaction. Sober-minded people would have treated this as a very bad flu season. Our hysterical rulers treated it as the end times.
The most recent example of the overwrought behavior by our rulers is the reaction to the protest last Wednesday. The “storming of the Capitol” was really just a bunch of people walking past the cops and going inside the building. Sure, juvenile pranksters livestreamed themselves doing shenanigans, but other than the Pence aide murdering Ashli Babbitt, it was nothing more than a frat house prank. It was nothing like the Kavanaugh protests just a short time ago.
The reaction by the rulers is as if a rebel army laid siege to the Capitol and set fire to most of the city. The FBI has been tasked with hunting down, in the most dramatic way, all of the protestors. Their media lackeys are now calling the Capitol protestors “insurrectionists” and demanding they be destroyed. Instead of calling it a protest, they are calling it a siege. Again, the image is of a foreign army attacking the center of the empire, like the Gauls sacking Rome in 387 BC.
For the inauguration they have now deployed army and national guard units. The media lackeys are bragging that they will be prepared and enthusiastic about using lethal force if any protestors turn up that day. Pelosi has been trying to get the Army to remove Trump from office. She apparently thinks he could launch a nuclear attack. We have come a long way from the America where citizens were expected to petition their government for the redress of grievances.
What we are seeing is the reaction of people who are no longer engaged in normal life, but instead are playing the game of life. They are immersed in a live action role playing game operated by juvenile narcissists. The ruling class gets to imagine themselves as world historical figures and every event puts the world on a knife edge. Their actions will determine the outcome. The entire ruling class is swept up in these false dramas that they get to play, while the rest of the country suffers.
Another clue is how they echo one another in the use of dramatic language to describe mundane events. One uses some over-the-top language then the rest of them are repeating it, maybe adding on some more dramatic language. The “protest” went from “riot” to “insurrection” to “horrendous insurrection” in a few cycles. They are competing with one another to show their loyalty to the group. What matters to them in this game is the opinion of the people in the game, not the rest of us.
America has reached a point where the ruling class and its various support structures is no longer connected to the people over whom it rules. They are inside Versailles or the Winter Palace, imagining what is happening outside. Meanwhile, outside, the world is nothing like the rulers imagine. The people outside look at the palaces and try to understand what is happening inside, based on the noises and behavior they see from the organs of the state.
That really is the root of their anger. The outside broke though the wall and gently reminded them that life is not a game and they are not great men. In the game they are always the winners, but in real life they are judged by their actions. It may take a while, but they will be held accountable. This is what angers them. They hate this reality, which is why they cling to the alternative reality of their fantasy, but reality does not go away when you stop believing it.

A fraternity prank, exactly. It was a peaceful protest, with some goofy people. I’m proud that we finally did something, I know Z hates that, haha!
I can’t imagine, normie buying into this stuff. I can’t imagine, normie, a sensible guy, who thought blacks should be somehow the same as Whites out of his goodwill, to not see that our leaders, the media, the government, are not total diabolical hypocrites…
I guess instead of freedom fighters vs terrorists, now its peaceful protesters vs insurrectionists…
Interestingly, Trump’s approval numbers went up after the protest.
https://www.newsmax.com/us/rasmussen/2021/01/08/id/1004872
While Trump clearly is the fall guy in the Capitol “Siege” flap, rightly or wrongly, the media’s and government’s panic, overreaction to it show more of their hand, and is probably better optics to our side, than the buffoonery of “our” protestors, or if you prefer, “insurrectionists.”
That ‘fraternity prank’ has resulted in half a dozen arrests with dozens maybe hundreds, more to come, 100s of justice dept. agents / resources being allocated, and will also result in federal felonies and some serious jail time. Hurray we finally ‘did something’ you willing to give up the next 5-10 years of your life for a selfie? Will -you- Gobstopper, be at the jail protesting the incarceration of your ‘frat bros’? Will you attempt to spring them from custody? See, as someone who nearly did 10 years myself for similar ‘crimes’ (I was an early adopter of this State… Read more »
I don’t know of any other way they’re going to learn though. There were several of us with the vision of Charlottesville in out mind who told them “you might not want to do that”. They wouldn’t have it though, like Z said they felt that they were honest people carrying out an honest vision, which while true, also doesn’t matter.

I am full blooded Sicilian….if you were told that Sicilian people represented less than 1.6% of the Western worlds population but controlled well over (maybe way over) 50% of the Federal and State Governments, Central and Regional banks, and major Corporations, and especially Main Stream Media, publishers, Colleges and Universities, etc. in not only United States but also Europe….wouldn’t you think (even a little without being anti-whatever or racist) that the Sicilians had an inside track or at least needed to be checked out to how or why this occurred?? If a group of people popped into your mind, then… Read more »
I dunno, I’m a bit wary of Sicilians. They are a minority immigrant population yet they managed to subvert & control a huge share of the restaurant business. Everywhere I drive I see an establishment somewhere that uses tomato sauce as a primary ingredient. My ancestors used gravy. You will not replace us!
Neither do we intend to…hahahaha
Arn’t Sicilians a bit smelly?
Yes..but we try to keep it a secret!!
Yes, Dennis Hopper explains it all:

Speaking of Sicilians…
I watched The Godfather for the first time in a while over the weekend. Obviously a fantastic movie.
But I had a terrifying thought. That movie of course no longer meets the current woke standards. Patriarchy. Use of racial epithets. Etc.
How far are we from Paramount editing this great film to meet the new woke expectations? Could it be banned?
I watched the original Bad News Bears this weekend for the first time since 1976 when it came out. One character, the pugnacious Tanner, repeatedly laments that the Bears have “niggers, spics, Jews and booger-eating spazzes” on its roster. What’s more Tanner doesn’t pay a price–such as being removed from the team or possibly arrested–for his insensitivity and racism. Clearly, c’est tres problemaptique! The film was remade in 2005, but I dare not watch it because I don’t like to have my gag reflex triggered.
“Normal people have been programmed to think hypocrisy is important, even though it is clearly not important to the people in the ruling class.” I know that a lot of our guys are absolutely sick of pointing out hypocrisies, but the fact remains that a lot of people are way behind us on redpill road, and it’s a perfectly reasonable way to get them to take a few tentative baby steps. Propaganda is like any other job: you’ve got to plug away at it day after day, year after year. I know it offends the dignity of some people think… Read more »
The “will to power” knows no hypocrisy. We need to learn that lesson.
Hypocrisy is the privilege of power. In fact, it is the point of power.
Exactly. What our side consistently fails to understand, however, is that the reason average people follow these hypocrite leaders is precisely because they’re powerful enough to get away with the hypocrisy. It’s okay if your governor is a lying bastard so long as he’s in a position to promise you a sheltered life in return for your devotion.
With that assurance of a sheltered life, human nature devolves to grade school-level emotional maturity. The temper tantrum erupted when our infantile, sheltered leaders got touched with the reality stick.
Amen Brother…The question is will we learn it before it’s to late…
I believe the hypocrisy is absolutely purposeful at this point. It is designed to humiliate and rub our faces in our lack of power.
Exactly. The hypocrisy is meant to demoralize. We, in turn, need to make everyone know St. Babbitt.
You saw the rats scurry. We’ve abrogated duty for comfort is all.
It’s hard to come up with anything the traitors in DC (and various governors) have done in the last year that wasn’t deliberately organized in a way to humiliate us. There are other vastly more destructive objectives to their actions, but the in your face aspect reveals a deadly animus. This has to wake up more of the walking dead to the danger we’re in. Pride comes before the fall. For all their cleverness they never learn.
Propaganda serves numerous purposes. One of the them is a feedback loop for confirmation bias. That is happening in the United States. Even the Left knows the propaganda organs pump out lies. They just like the message and go along with it. The ludicrous Trump-Russia collusion hoax was popular not because it was real but because some people liked the message.
So, yes, we need propaganda and lots of it.
How about something around the problems with democracy?
Propaganda is like any other job: you’ve got to plug away at it day after day, year after year. I know it offends the dignity of some people think that we don’t need to do it because the truth is on our side. But we’ve been thinking that way for years, and how did that turn out? Exactly. I think that this is one of the main mindsets that most traditionally minded (for want of a better term) men need to drop. Truth may not win out, especially if many are insulated from it, and in this world that is… Read more »
Exactly why I’m leaving post-its with DR slogans all over town. The newspaper wouldn’t print them, nor do I, at this time and place, want my name associated with them. But they need exposure.
One thing I’m picking up from like-minded friends around the country is a sense of despondency. There’s no feedback loop in public and they feel very alone and angry at humanity. I hope that some of my notes are found by others on our side, just so they feel a momentary flash of triumph.
Exactly why I’m leaving post-its with DR slogans all over town. The newspaper wouldn’t print them, nor do I, at this time and place, want my name associated with them. But they need exposure. Every little helps. It really does. Good on you. One thing I’m picking up from like-minded friends around the country is a sense of despondency. Then we need not make them feel more despondent.

I think Ramz talked about this. I havn’t done it yet, frankly, because I’ve been doxed and am gun shy. Maybe its time for some bathroom graffiti, however…
As a reformed, ex-college bathroom graffitist, I can say that I’m glad it’s coming back.
I was stunned at the power a few drawings and poems had on the (college) ruling class. They went crazy trying to catch me.
Only big drawback now is the presence of cameras everywhere. Easy to establish a short list of who goes in & when.
I place my notes on items in stores and one thing I make sure to do is shift items around so that the ones bearing my notes are not the next ones to be purchased. If it takes a week or longer for that item to go out the door, no minimum wage hall monitor is going to spend the time going through hundreds of hours of footage to maybe, possibly figure out who put it there. If they can be bothered at all, they’ll work backward from the time of purchase and then give up or fixate on someone… Read more »
Ahhhh… but a mask is your friend now. Leave your cell phone at home and dont purchase anything on your runs with a card. Park your car out of sight and away from cameras. Leave non-threatening but thought provoking messages. “It’s okay to be white” for Our friends and confusing ones like that Canadian fellah left, “Islam was right about women.”
Technology when it works is a great time saver, but when it doesn’t it’s a bottomless time-sink, and our ruling elites are quite dependent on using technology as a force multiplier
There are anecdotal reports from the UK that masking up in a WW2 era gas mask and staging a WuFlu panic attack in say, a bank lobby, works a treat.
That’s why Community is so damn important Brother…
A related suggestion: amass a collection of both print and ebook versions of “subversive” literature. It is already “banned” in the sense the biggies (Amazon) won’t sell “offensive” books. Encourage people to buy interesting works, support authors who promote our views. Many works are public domain and are free to print, trade, etc. If you have the time and inclination, write your own essays on a topic.Even an average high-school or college level essay is likely to be better argued and more coherent than the average social media debate over whatever. Until just a few decades ago, the primary way… Read more »
And with respect to Z, thats his criticism of “doing something”. Pointing out hypocrisy is really doing nothing, which Z advocates.
Creating a propaganda lexicon, would take doing.
Good point. Lets start with: Jan 6 was a peaceful protest.
A tiny post-it note with “Trump Won”, placed near the lunchroom microwaves, caused a special executive leadership meeting to occur here.
Wow!
Funny how the least little thing sets them off. To wit, nothing provokes AWR outrage more than to claim that “it’s okay to be white,” because, for them, it’s not okay to be white.
Great. That would never happen at my place of work, as I would guess a good 75% of the workforce would agree. But, like Z-man points out, that executive meeting, and the corrective action it surely spawned, is just more sand in the gears. I’d like to clap that person on the back.
Yup just keep plugging away… I’ve been redpilled for a few years. Most people, including normiecon family, thought I was a crazy raving racist. Since COVID started they’re much more receptive to the truth about the NWO plans. And since the summer riots they are becoming vaguely racially aware. Start with cringe boomercon arguments and move forward slowly. Never waste time arguing with a leftist who is too far gone. There are many white guys in the mushy middle to talk to. Many of the have forbidden thoughts; thinking they are alone they keep it to themselves. Just have a… Read more »
The problem is that the bubble our political classes have constructed around themselves was actually the work of the oligarchs. If you have followed the news lately, you will have already learned that the Biden administration will be liberally sprinkled with powerful tech oligarchs. The looting and suppression will continue unabated.
More than that, they will be putting the boot to MAGA and Conservatives across the board. Expect the following. Patriot II Act targeting conservative whites and so-called “Hate Speech” Basically a copy of what is happening in England. Shutting down gun and ammunition manufacturers followed by mandatory gun confiscation. Economic deplatforming of whites(what was done to Porntube can easily be done any person as well). Public schools replacing all textbooks with woke ones. White male children will become targets of rage apes in the schools. Here’s the thing. There is NOTHING stopping the Dems from doing this since they have… Read more »
Maybe our rulers fear what all this portends for their future. The protests are just that but it signifies a greater force against them in the future. That scares the crap out of them because they know at some level they have it coming. I hope I live to see the day.
“I hope I live to see the day.”
I’m running out of landing strip, but this is what keeps me interested.
Right-wing activism is definitely what scares them. The state is hoping to crush it before it gets out of hand. The hope is, enough people got red-pilled before the social media purges. I think there were. There is a lot of anger out there, but the question is: do people just detach and ignore (like non-violent resistance) or do they openly challenge and take back the system? Right now, the hysterical power of the state is making the open-rebels think twice. That’s why I welcome the Q types to some degree: they are willing to be the first out of… Read more »
My sense is that a large number of normies have forded the stream to our side in the past couple months. It’s a matter of now corralling them.
The thing I keep thinking of is: has rule-by-council, such as what we have now, ever worked for any great length of time, especially in a multi-racial society? The closest I can think of is China after Deng Xiaoping and it looks like that was…twenty years? That’s not very good and that was under optimal circumstances.
I bet you will. Take heart.
You will. No one predicted the Dems would flip out this bad and go full police state on us so fast, least of all Team DR. And the Dems are just getting warmed up with their thuggery. They are going to punish us and harshly, make no mistake about it. And they will overstep it in the brutality and death dept. Count on that as well. That’s when the push back happens. It will be random at first then grow in number of events. The Dems will then resort to even more bloodyhanded responses which in turn will push even… Read more »
Yep I thought they would wait another decade or two. Trump apparently set them off.
I honestly have no idea why they hate us so much. I just wanted to get married and grill lol. I know there is a ((())) component but I come across many upper middle class white gentiles with the same hatred.
They are vicious and bloodthirsty (not sure why), but when somebody tells me “i hate you and want to kill you and your entire race” I take heed and accept it at face value.
Remember that the elites are also atheist degenerates. What they fear most is death.
What they fear second most are armed and pissed off, and organized white males.
Because death is part of life, and thus Nature.
The elite are all about denying Nature.
This is why we have birth control pills, breast implants, and Viagra.
Not to mention global warming & 57 genders, etc.
…and homosexuality and feminism and transgenderism…
The fear of death is an important driver of both their actions and their attempts to remake society. The more they can get the public to abandon Christian belief in an afterlife and a higher power, the easier it is to gain acquiescence for their restructuring of society. If death is the ultimate fear, you’ll accept any measures that are intended to keep you “safe”.
Yes, and it works the other way too. If you understand what I mean. Hence their freakout over angry White men.
So atheism conduces to cowardice, huh? I’d never really thought of it quite that way.
At least the Roman Senate had the fortitude to sit stock still when the barbarians walked in.
This does have the feel that we’ve a accelerated from a declining country to a careening one.
Ironically, it may be Pelosi is the only one with any clarity on the protest, singling out its whiteness. I don’t think the maga folks in attendance have realized it yet.
The appeal to fairness has left the barn. Every normal person knows the rules aren’t fair, including most lefties.
The entirety congress huddling in fear while forcing troops to stay overseas in desert hellholes and denying Americans financial aid is the new optics going forward. People need to realize the cops, military, and intelligence services only serve such snivelling cowards.
Once that milestone is crossed, and it almost has, the snitches are dealt with.
No, the left thinks of Biden etc as being the right. The left views itself as the out of power opposition to power.
It has almost reached a state of tautology, where the left is not in power by definition, that people with power are right wing and people without power are left wing. How else could they riot in cities that haven’t had a Republican government in decades?
Great point. This will be interesting when the right, which has always been the defender of the constitution, police/military and the institutions, combines with the radical left, which as you point out, always sees itself on the outside of those same entities. This goes for the media, major corporations and universities as well. We now see they are all woke as hell, but the right has always defended them on free speech and free market grounds. When most of the right sees there is nothing free about them, and the left sees them as right-wing, who will be left to… Read more »
Biden-Harris have gained control, but of what, exactly? POTUS (more precisely: the hidden string-pullers in the shadows) now have a difficult task ahead: they must appear to be “centrist” while yet somehow placating the more extreme Democrats/Social/Commuist wing of the party. Yes, there will be various assaults on us (the DR) and our stuff, but I think POTUS will be spending much effort on damage control within the Dems alone.
I’m not so sure. I see them ruling far left while the media shouts how centrist they are.
The amazing thing (as I and many others noticed) is the left doing the “imagine if it were the other way around, with black people doing the protesting” bit. When of course that actual reality happened just a few months ago, except a million times more violent and destructive. And of course the black people didn’t get gunned down–in fact the authorities kneeled to them, let them rampage, and either dropped the charges or didn’t even bother to bring any. The reddish-black pill is that this lack of self-awareness may be a source of strength for them. This way they… Read more »
A con man who believes his own lies has a special name: delusional.
Crazy isn’t a super power. It’s actually a huge disadvantage. They have other advantages that compensate for that… for now.
Not the greatest reassurance. Delusional people caused decades of chaos in France, Russia, and China before finally steadying.
We don’t have to be delusional to take advantage of the reality that there are no rules any longer. Only what we can get away with. We have to be careful, but for the first time I feel morally okay with doing whatever advances our cause. There is a lot of freedom in that realization.
That is the next step for the Right. There must be mass realization that playing by the rulebook only gets us oppressed. That being the case, we burn the rulebook and begin fighting dirty as hell.
It’s confirmation bias. Reality plays no role. It is why it is futile to try to reason with the Left.
“The amazing thing (as I and many others noticed) is the left doing the “imagine if it were the other way around, with black people doing the protesting” bit.” I was at the gym when I saw this commentary on ESPN. Its incredible really– I expect the worst, and I’m still shocked/disappointed. There is seemingly no limit to their cognitive dissonance! I think their delusion is a strength insofar as it is exploited by complete institutional backing, which is indeed the case. Currently, having an objective grasp on reality isn’t nearly as useful as believing and propagating le Narrative. The… Read more »
Absolutely. Its a beautiful, blind single minded ness that, frankly, wins.
I saw that comment by that negress. I just steamed and thought, “F U jogger, FU jogger!”
pretty sure politicians pretend to be fighting world ending pandemic cause it’s their job to convince dupes that it’s good to shut down economy and to take vaccine, i’m don’t think they actually believe themselves to be heroes. Also, they obviously don’t buy into the covid hoax, they only wear masks when on tv.
they also exaggerrate the capitol riot cause they wanna go after dissidents, it’s theatre. Again, I don’t think she believes trump’ll nuke countries.
They’re holding on by their fingertips, and soon they’ll sink the ship with them in it rather than hand it off. And I say good because I don’t want what they have, never did.
I agree with everything you say except that they don’t believe themselves to be heroes. They can lie, and be as hypocritical and duplicitous as hell, but their narcissism will always make them the heroes.
the dem leadership is acting like they are in power for life now. threatening to jail people for being in the Trump admin. other like wise insane things. it’s like they want to provoke a genuinely violent spasm in society. just for its own sake.
Exactly. This the biggest reason why it’s hard to see Trump just walking away. With the demoncraps fully in charge of all levers of power, who doesn’t think/know they’ll be coming after him, his family and us?
I see in WV of all places, thirty teachers of some school district have been put on notice they may face firing for simply attending the DC rally. That these lunatics must be held to account is the understatement of the century.
Wow
No they just want to eradicate a large part of the white population, that’s all. If you notice the Left is now pointing out the whiteness of the D.C. protests. Which is code for targeting whites.
As to the extent of what they plan for us, well we’ll have to wait until after Biden gets sworn in. I get the impression they are keeping a lot of plans secret for the time being(which is a very bad sign).
For God’s sake, Trump, just why?
As a sign of respect for the service and sacrifice of United States Capitol Police Officers Brian D. Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, and all Capitol Police Officers and law enforcement across this great Nation, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff…
Not a word about Ashli Babbitt.
simple, god emperor has been kidnapped, zuckie and dorsey are creating fake cgi trump videos to demoralize q followers.
Trump cucks for the nth time.
I probably gave Trump more credit than the average person on our side. But for this, Fuck Donald Trump.
Because Trump is a gutless blowhard who treats his base like shit. Remember San Jose where he didn’t say a word about his supporters being beaten to a pulp. All he did was flee the state.
For 4 years he let Antifa run amok against MAGA peeps and he did nothing about it. When BigTech started deplatforming us he did nothing.
Trump needs to go away, he’s becoming a serious drag on whites.
Trump is gone in ten days. Yes he disappointed a lot of people. But remember, he was elected as a big middle finger to the Swamp, a vote for “none of the above.” Yes, he could have done more in four years. But he was a figurehead. Now he is (likely) gone and faces an uncertain future. But give the man some credit: he was a rallying point for the DR. Very likely, he will be replaced by a different, hopefully more competent, leader. We will have our day.
“We will have our day.”
No doubt. But I’ll probably be long dead.
I would’ve been cool with him having zero political accomplishments if he’d held the line. It wasn’t easy supporting him knowing his support for us was weak. Then to hear sycophants making excuses for why he couldn’t do that, Q people saying it was 4D chess as if exposing the bad guys was the same as defeating them… trying, to say the least of it. Rally around the king! OK, why? Simply so he can stay in power? With all of that said, no new wars. That is something I will always give the guy credit for. It’s a huge… Read more »

Siddhartha lived in a hedonistic and illusory paradise until he went to the gates and stumbled into reality. Until then he spent his entire life coddled in a kingdom free of the grimness of the real world and the tragedies of life in general. He very well could have lived and died in such a state.

What you say about Siddhartha (later, the Buddha) is quite accurate (per the stories). His fate was to either be a great King or a teacher (a Buddha). Fortunately he chose the latter. I find the following curious: in his youth, his father kept him isolated from the world’s troubles, so that he’d become a King. But he sneaked out and saw the suffering in the world, primarily sickness, old age and death (of course there are others). This, is what convinced him to leave home, become an ascetic and eventually became the Awakened, the Buddha. Now, Buddha left many… Read more »
You bring up a really interesting point, regarding the circular yet alternative journey to end all suffering. I never looked at it from that perspective before. I was just aping a segment of the story to make a point–namely that reality doesn’t always have to be encountered much less suffered by delusional people/modern Leftists. Today it seems that ignorance not only will not “catch up to you” but in fact its beneficial to live in ignorance and delusion. Certainly trying to fight ignorance is far from luxurious. I’m not calling for complete Nirvana, nor is the dissident right. Buddhism always… Read more »
Meanwhile our princes bump into reality and want it destroyed.
The past week was a good reminder of “gradual then sudden”. Because our rulers live in a LARP world, they will naturally overreach. Badly. But this will be won the same way the AmRev was, though through updated tactics. The partisan war in the interior and frontiers did not “beat” the British, but it hemmed them into cities with ports. Venturing outside was death, kinetic, by disease or by starvation. Remember, the tech oligarchs firms are valued most often by expectation of growth, not cash flow. Watch Twitter. The real economic action happens on the margins. Lop the expectation of… Read more »
i don’t know if this is over reach. seems more like they kicked a hole in the wall, found the wall is rotted out, and are now kicking the entire wall down. what is the mechanism that stops them? which group of people?
Yes indeed. These incipient tyrants are as serious as a bullet to the brain, so evolution dictates that we, the victims, up our game commensurately. People are beginning to wake up to the threat, and that will only increase as hardship descends upon us. But many will need a training manual on how to proceed. Pitching a fit in a public protest just gets you dead, not victory.
False analogies aren’t always helpful.
The “partisans” in the Revolution had the backing of major states some of which had larger populations than the UK.
Then again Russia and China would benefit from a decades-long systemic fraying.
I’m pretty sure their stock took a considerable hit this morning.
Trump’s move to alternative sites and the resultant boost in competition must be killing Twitter’s “growth” model.
Exactly. I’d love to find alternatives to Amazon, Netflix, etc. But it seems now those in power will deplatfrom them, as just happened to Parler. I agree that we should reduce, perhaps elimiante our reliance on Big Tech for our communciations and our entertainment. This is easier said than done of course. Elsewhere, I advocate a return to books, either printed or electronic, shared off line (I guess emailed is OK) but not cenralized. Do your own writing and spread it as the old pamphleteers did — off line (of course, with ususal risks to your reputation, etc.) But you… Read more »
They are immersed in a live action role playing game operated by juvenile narcissists. The ruling class gets to imagine themselves as world historical figures and every event puts the world on a knife edge. Their actions will determine the outcome. The entire ruling class is swept up in these false dramas that they get to play, while the rest of the country suffers. It is all part of their “right side of history” nonsense. They have talked about wanting future generations to think of them like they think of Civil Rights demonstrators or suffragettes. They also believe they are… Read more »
You give them too much credit. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they feel it’s time to go all in. The kind of people who are attracted to govt “service” are for the most part totalitarian, and once they get a real taste of it in their mouth nothing will stop them but buckets of blood.
I suspect this blog wont be around for much longer, so we best enjoy it while we can.
this blog is the canary in the coal mine. when it goes, then they really are watching everyone, all the time.
But…but….my VPN! My fake email!
Friendly reminder: if you do it online, it’s recorded, it’s traceable, and it’s forever.
And yet I’m unable to reliably find news stories that are more than three months old. I agree with your point, it just seems like the data they have aggregated is ‘flat’ rather than hierarchal.
Just like you should have an escape plan from your home, we really ought to have a plan for that eventuality. We need to know exactly how to contact each other that very day.
One’s appetite for buckets of blood, will greatly diminish, I suspect, when the blood is one’s own.
Humor (?) note: Zman might like this trivia for his movie reviews: The 1959 Roger Corman “horror/comedy” film A Bucket of Blood technically is misnamed. There is, if I recall correctly, indeed a container of blood, but it’s a saucepan. A “prediction” they got right is that hydogenated fats are bad after all.
Excellent – yes a lot of normal people are noticing the crazy disproportionate reaction to the protest last week. This is just tyrants seizing at any excuse.
Still, it’s enlightening to see how many GOP members are falling in line. The reptiles are being outed into the light.
So, in effect, the “coup” on Wednesay was like the Reichstag fire, but not for reasons believed by the most shrill faction of the bipartisan party.
This focus on hypocrisy has left something unnoticed.
But that’s the thing. Our rulers aren’t being hypocrites. The riots this summer were by their thugs, so they approved. The demonstration at the Capitol building was by dissenting Whites, so they disapproved.
Our rulers hate us. They are very consistent – and open – about that.
Not that long ago, we saw glimpses where our rulers showed their hate towards us. A couple of examples are when Obama talked about people clinging to their guns and bibles. Later on, even more explicit was Hillary’s remark about the basket of deplorables during a campaign speech. Those were just a couple leaks in the dam, which is currently broken and the hatred is all gushing out openly and with no hesitation.
Yeah, they’re not exactly hiding it anymore, see Pelosi’s whiteness statement.
But the media will shield them. Joe Normie won’t be hearing what they say via the MSM. But it will leak out more and more.
[From another web site’s debate, but probably relevenat here] Has anyone considered that, judging from the presidential vote (ex-fraud) the country is pretty evenly split left/right? Of course this is nothing new, but the level of polarization is. The other, more restrained web conversation posited that perhaps half the conservatives are “radical right.” As good an estimate as any. Point: if it comes to blows, this implies that the Establishment may be at war, perhaps literally, against 25% or more of the total population. This doesn’t bode well 🙁
If we could only get the smashed-down MAGA people to see what happened through the lens of race, they would be a juggernaut.
But the brainwashing runs deep. Credit to our greatest allies for keeping that up for decades.
Also credit to the Q author(s) for leading them down a blind alley.
It’s easy to criticize the Q-tards, but we should be criticizing ourselves for not coming up with a narrative that appeals to that IQ bracket. We have to translate our own thing into a movie/picturebook format that appeals to them. That’s on us.
Good point. Events are waking these people up, but we need to throw out our own propaganda.
My impression has been that they’re burned out on blacks, but haven’t gotten to the point of questioning the intentions of Jews or, really, anyone else.
Time for new meme war?
Race is only part of it. Class war is a much bigger part. For decades corporate America has been waging a war against the white blue collars and middle-class decimating them and small town America. The DR and HBD types obsessed with joggers and Jose didn’t notice corporate America and the political glass destroying upward mobility and herding entire generations into dead end jobs with no chance of ever retiring and drawing a pension. The lock down brought the class war front and center and still few notice it,. The big players have gotten fantastically wealthy while the lower classes… Read more »

Thanks. You just forced me to read 8 more words of that hagiography than I ever intended.
It’s all for his 2024 run, should the opportunity arise.
This is what terrifies me. What y’all are seeing now is just normal life as it is lived in the ivory tower. There’s angry, there’s incoherently angry, and there’s a lesbian whose cat just hunked a hairball onto her vintage vinyl Indigo Girls record. That’s the Capitol right now. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. These people can and will destroy you. Every single petty thing is the apocalypse to them, so there is nothing so small that it can’t be used as an excuse for murderous outrage. They will eat themselves eventually — Leftists gonna Leftist — but they will… Read more »
They just want to eliminate the middle class. I’m OK with that, and this is why. The middle class is polite, takes it in the gut and asks “please, sir, may I have another?”. Once one leaves the middle class, in his head, it’s all about taking it out on one’s enemies, and getting what one wants, by any means necessary. If that’s the world they want, OK, let’s go.
None of this is unexpected, Z did a whole post about this. Gynarcho-Tyranny is your current system of government. Rule by literal vaginas and figurative manginas. Easily frightened estrogen infused hysterical herding animals are your rulers both male & female. It takes the best of Anarcho-Tyranny which is already a horrific system of oppression and adds that oh so awesome top layer of complete irrationality and lack of accountability which is a trait of large swaths of the current American Woman and wraps them into a package that would be darkly comical if it wouldn’t also land you 10 years… Read more »
That’s quite true. I lost my first job in academia almost 20 years ago, largely to a bunch of hysterical, left-wing, “woke” cunts.
I was a canary in the coal mine. Now, the rest of the country is finally starting to experience — as official national and corporate policy — the same insanity that white, male, conservative academics were getting hit with with decades ago.
“America has reached a point where the ruling class and its various support structures is no longer connected to the people over whom it rules.”
This is been a refrain for a while. And the hypocrisy yeah they don’t care that they’re hypocrites. I think the best thing we have going for us as our Collective historical consciousness. No one in Russia or China ever said “Well this is a free country isn’t it?!”
The Republicans don’t even know the first principle of right-wing politics: never apologize.
She’s a nasty old bird, but one of Ayn Rand’s concepts is exactly right: the sanction of the victim.
I.e., if you apologize, you have affirmed that the other guy’s moral values are the correct ones, and that your punishment by them is right. You’ve effectively handed the “moral government” over to them.
Always double down and/or counterattack. Every statement in politics should be a paraphrase of the sentence “we’re good and our opponents are evil.”
Well the paraphrase for most GOP politicians is “I want good press and a path to a lucrative lobbying gig.” At least they are being outed now.
I’m willing to compromise — but only if the ruling elite has skin in the game (which they usually don’t wish to, for obvious reasons!) In ancient times, when there was a treaty between two kingdoms, often the other country’s royal family were “guests” in the other country’s capital. Of course they were very well treated but they were hostages for all practical purposes. That was the intent. But the purpose was served: if anything went wrong in the alliance, any treachery, the hostages were slaughtered without a second thought. In other times, any politician who proposed making war upon… Read more »
Rand skewered also the idea of original sin, which has been resuscitated in the form of “whiteness”, “white privilege”, etc. If you read Atlas Shrugged, you may have noticed how she didn’t tie original sin overtly to the cult of Jesus. It was left for the reader to insert the word Christianity. So even though the hero of the book is like a caricature of the straight, white, male, secular go-getter, Rand’s condemnation of original sin remains politically relevant.
Z has said it before, the left is partisan, we think we are operating in a game that the left is also playing. We can’t think that way anymore. It has to be destroy, destroy, destroy. THats what the left wakes up thinking…
It is amazing. Peggy Noonan went off the deep end in the pages of the WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bring-the-insurrectionists-to-justice-11610065179?mod=opinion_lead_pos8 Surprising? No, not really. Keep in mind, however, that PN presents herself as the high dame of the conservative movement and here she is calling for the rope on the very same people who have reliably voted for Republicans since the Reagan years. The ruling elite is old, demoralized, terrified of reality and barely able to keep their fingers on the levers of power. Doddering Joe is the perfect symbol for the last Boomer president. The steal will continue unabated until finally the… Read more »
Noonan went batshit crazy years ago. Even allowing for that, if Reagan were alive and in his mind he also would be falling into line.
They live in a world that does not exist anymore. The alternative is much more terrifying as we see, and they want no part. Same reason Boomer Dad is parroting that cuck line. Boomer Mom however thankfully sees it as it is.
Because a clear look into the future is so horrifying, most soft and wealthy white people choose to simply ignore it. They live in a fantasyland where it’s always 1980. Things are just gonna work out!
However, as Ben Shapiro says facts don’t care about your feelings, and the 1980s are never coming back.
Kudos to those on Zblog and elsewhere who see reality for what it is. We are the pioneers.
I dunno. Reagan had an ornery streak a mile wide.
PN has been a lefty for a long time. She campaigned for Obama. I saw some other WSJ twit recently on that Paul Gigot show. She was saying the big social media companies can do whatever they want because they are private and their product is free of charge. On the first point, she was not asked if they should also be allowed to discriminate against blacks. On the second point, she was not challenged by pointing out their product is anything but free. The cost is your personal information, which is very valuable.
Yup, that would really get people to sit up…
Haha! THats a great scene, really well delivered by that faggot….
The Left and its client State are impulsive and irrational. That is a cause for hope. In the last few days, intimations have been made that any White military in D.C. should be presumed to be terrorists. This is good for us for two reasons. First, it tells young White men to avoid the military at all costs. Second, our people continue to be the majority of the military. Even with the diminished Woke officer ranks, the military still will do as told…until it won’t. The deplatforming of Normie Cons is another example. More people have been awakened to what… Read more »
The military will be loyal to whoever pays their entitlements and retirement benefits. Flag officers are swamp creatures and will be loyal to their tribe.
No doubt. Missed payments is “until they won’t.”:
Z- what is your PACE plan? Once the big ones are down, they’ll start hitting the smaller ones.
Seems each time there is a global conflict – its armageddon, people freeze up waiting for the Lord to come save them. Yes things are beyond strange but we must continue living fruitful lives. We men need to step up, the militia have done little thus far. The only time positive visible action was taken – the Bundys were taking on the fed’s, They had organized militia – good guys. We’ve needed militia numerous times since that day but if you scan the news articles it’s us – small business owners, single mom’s, hungry families. We are the ones standing… Read more »
Corrosion not direct confrontation. Every militia will have at least one U/C Fed or CI in it, probably in a leading role. Every member will get a full FBI dossier, face photo, and likely DNA sample. You’ve now made their job quite easy for them. Better to go dark, disappear, and operate from the shadows. Be creative, unpredictable, and spontaneous. And live to fight another day. French men, women and children did real damage in the run-up to D Day.
The thing neglected is that “militias” need someone in the government to have proper standing. For instance, the local sheriff or mayor can have a militia that reports to them, and indeed, any politico on our side should have a ‘volunteer law enforcement organ’. A militia with no government backing at all will be rudderless, even without Fed infiltration.
This is an accurate observation of the reality in the echo chamber of the Overton bubble.
Unanticipated is the moment vets, LEO’s, and various and sundry others with tactical training come out of their neighborhood platoons and do what they were trained to do.
Maybe, but what would trigger that? “Terrorist” is a unique word in that it allows the abandonment of normal due process and ROE that is expected even in wartime. The country cheered when Bush the II did all of this: droning wedding parties, water boarding, extraordinary rendition, secret prisons, no judicial appeal rights in adjudication for prisoners, assets seized from banks all over the globe, even torture becomes permissible, even encouraged. Illegal treatment against “soldiers”, UNTHINKABLE against US civilians, but perfectly acceptable directed at “terrorists”. The rumored 20,000+ page Domestic Terrorism Act can probably reduced to one page, and that… Read more »
We are getting what we deserve to an extent. Many normal conservatives cheered when we “took out Saddam” or when we overthrew Gaddafi or when we attacked the “animal Assad” or when we tortured and murdered all over the world. Or meddled in elections all over the world. Now our own devices like the CIA and big tech are turned against us. That doesn’t make it any easier to take though. I am as guilty as the rest. I knew the Iraq war was an atrocity before it happened but I did nothing more than talk to people about it.
For the 2A guys, gun owners, an Army captain from the Iraq pacification told me why their ROE meant they could not fire back at a militant as soon as he dropped his rifle, even though he’d been firing at them a moment before: The crowd was armed. They might ALL start shooting back. Even though there were confiscations in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, most of the populace remained armed. Yet still, they were occupied. I’d say defacto “terrorist” revocation of the Posse Comitatus is the most likely bypass of gun ownership- and much else, afterwards. Remember Obama’s trial runs… Read more »

I hate the self-described elected leaders. There’s not a single one that thinks differently than the herd they graze with. They are weaklings and cowards. Everyday people are struggling against crazy rules that have killed local culture through lockdowns and masks and much more. There seems to be no escape. My son and I both had covid. It was no big deal—a headache, loss of smell and being tired for a few days. For some reason, we are still expected to keep wearing a mask and get shamed for not doing so.

You don’t get a straight answer whether you get an immunity (even though you supposedly have anti-bodies) to free you of all these ridiculous requirements. Of course not, my dear. Any serious scientific investigation of the virus is not important now. It has morphed into a political weapon (Stay in your homes!), a social weapon (Why aren’t you wearing your mask? It protects us all!) and an economic one (Shutter all business until The Nasty Yellow Terror subsides! If it saves one life, it’s worth it!).

Keeping people in their homes is a huge part of it. It lessens any possibility of resistance to whatever they are doing here in America. I know the UK is in bad shape, too, but people seriously need to keep a close watch on what is happening here.
As I advocated above, if you have the time, many of the comments on the “reputable” web sites like ft.com often have debate and quality content equal to a good day here (with more restraint on what you should say, of course). In my opinion, the comments are often superior to the article they appear beneath, and this is on a mainstream news site! In fact, if you had to choose between the two, I’d say read the comments. You’ll learn more than the slanted news piece at the top.
Exactly. And reality will only be deferred for so long. On OyTube, Canadian media slobs are running with the approved narrative all the way. The result in the comments is derisive laughter, insults and threats. Whatever shitlibs appear are promptly pantsed and wedgied. The dislikes outnumber the likes by 200~300%. Twitter stock dived by 10%. Torba at Gab is drowning in new arrivals and Facebook refugees. I am hearing that 600,000 showed up yesterday.

The last 72 hours have made me assume they are (a) very violent and (b) close to declaring martial law. Also, I have moved stolen election from “probable” to “certain” now. Welcome to the police state.
They hate you and want you dead.
In Quebec, there are now curfews in place. A $6000 fine to be out of your home after 8pm. Ontario might be adopting these soon. USA won’t be far behind. Is this still about fighting COVID? No way.
Be ready. Things are moving fast.
Indeed they are moving fast.
This is how a global communist revolution would have worked if that ruling class liked capitalism.
The deciding factor for me, without even seeing any data, was the Arab dude threatening the kids of a GOP election official in Michigan. People who have even done a good job at fraud wouldn’t feel the need to go that far.
What moved me from “possible” to “probable” was when a Pennsylvania state legislator told Trump people he knew the election was stolen but he was afraid his house would burn. The helluva is that is most likely true and a justified fear.
I missed that one, where did you see/hear this?
Absolutely. If they won legitimately, they wouldn’t be so panicked.
Or, as Gina Carano tweeted, quoting The Princess Bride,
“Then why is there fear behind your eyes?”
It’s easy to differentiate the liars from the honest.
If they won honestly, they would be supporting every effort to investigate voter fraud – just to make people throwing out the allegations look bad. Instead it is just complete denial without acknowledging the least bit of evidence.
How quickly the republic goes to complete tyranny is now in the hands of Joe Manchin and the filibuster. Once Trump is gone, there will probably be 40 GOP senators that will pull out what’s left of their nutsack to mount a defense of the system. He recently said he will not vote to overturn it. We’ll see.
Good Taki post, too:
and specifically, men. And more specifically, “Christian” men. And more more specifically, those blessed with blonde hair and blue eyes! hehe
White women are having the heat turned up on them. There is also a rise of articles critical about straight black men. If you go on YouTube you can see videos of black people mad that BLM seems to focus on LGBTQ in the black community. The left’s hatred demands fresh blood. White men is old hat now. White women started being attacked in 2016 and it’s only amplifying from there. I think the powers that be liked keeping white women around to reduce fertility via feminism and encourage miscegenation but I think they’re tired of white people in general… Read more »
I think the BLM focus is explained by the fact it is led by a trio of black lesbians.
And its treasurer is a pardoned yenta who literally set off a bomb in the Capitol building.
35 lives and billions in damages during the BLM protests in DC, already being forcibly forgotten.
(My violently antiTrump besty’s reply: “that’s the past.” 6 months ago, yet Hitler and KKK still live!)
The ruling class hates EVERYBODY who isn’t them
They just move pieces around on a chessboard and for a while it was blacks they hated then whites, next it will be browns and asians. They do not like people. They never have. You can’t like people and in turn be willing to be the ones in charge who sends them off to die in wars or whatever the case may be.
Part of the selection or hiring process is that question: “Would you have any problem with sending others off to war ?”
Kamala was asked it, they all are.
salt / pepper hair and brown eyes here…I’ll be safe
The way you can tell America is on top of the world and begining is descent is that it’s leaders went from downplaying major problems to keep the populace calm to dramatizing mundane occurrences to get the populace excited. The letter is merely an indulgence that only the wealthiest of empires can afford. Of course, money that’s wasted on frivolities can’t be spent on necessities, so enjoy this party while it lasts. The hangover promises to be a real bitch.
Let the Power Structure’s unhinged rhetoric about a “horrendous insurrection” become a self-fulfilling prophecy…
Great article on Taki’s. I’ve often thought about how the permanent minority status plays out. I think for the next ten years, the KKKrazy Glue of the coalition of the fringes will hold but as whites continue to get marginalized, minorities are going to vie for those senior positions of power. Blacks are America’s Minority but hispanics are going to use their numbers to demand a seat at the table. Then you have the men in the little hats, asians (south and east), and other high functioning minorities. This isn’t saying that whites can sit back and let it all… Read more »
They have become a collection of hysterical drama queens, who carry on like the world is about to end
While you didn’t outwardly say it in this essay, I take it as implied that this reflects the feminization of our ruling class and society in general, as you have discussed in previous essays.
the feminization of our ruling class and society in general Saw a great example of this on the micro scale yesterday whilst out walking with the wife. We had veered off a country footpath to the bank of a river, swollen with the rains, a pleasure to hear and see. All of a sudden a hysterical voice grows suddenly louder as a couple approach on the path we’ve left: Woman: Neil, let me see the map! Where is the pub? You’ve fucked up again haven’t you!? Woman again: Where is the pub? You said it was here? Where is it!?… Read more »
I think it’s a safe bet that Neil is not particularly effective fulfilling his manly duties in the bedchamber.
Derbyshire had a line years ago (I think in regards to a gay gov of New Jersey, whenever that was) that it’s “High school all the time for these people”. You can imagine high schoolers writing spirited articles about the cleaner used on the floor of the gym and whatnot and it just feels like the same thing: just absolute petty B.S. all the way down.
I’ve had the same thought at several points in my corporate life, that most folks cease developing mentally and emotionally at some point during middle or high school.
Yeah, facts don’t care about your feelings! (sorry 😉 )
I think they are now attempting a “Normalization“, like the communists did in Czechoslovakia after the Soviet intervention in 1968. Even if they are detached from reality, narcissistic, hysterical etc., they are going to inflict a lot of damage on their enemies – which is Trump’s people and the white population of the US. So, probably worse than the abovementioned Normalization…
Their feelings don’t care about your facts.
I think the Washington folks are more worried about having their corruption exposed and losing the ability to get rich without working. And it looks to me like more than half of us think think scamming the system is a good idea.
What are the men with guns who collect their pay from the government going to do? On the one hand many are sworn to constitutional loyalty and clearly, the current regime is a clear and present danger. On the other, by-and-large they get paid by people who want us all dead and report up the chain to political hacks installed during the obama purges. I think it is very likely they are going to be ordered to murder protesters and in the not too distant future round up wrong-thinkers. It’s all being telegraphed in the state propaganda mouth-pieces.

They will do what they are told as long as they are paid. Unlike the old Soviet Union, where the military did not have Russian people, much of the United States officer corps hates historic Americans.
Do you know a lot of officers personally?
I do. 22+ years and counting of commissioned naval service. The officer corps at the senior levels should be seen as part of the managerial class. Every flag officer, regardless of service, has significant DC experience. Junior officers … most are products of their cult marx educations. Most military officers are process people … they follow established processes and cannot fathom deviating from procedure. If/when Trump or his subsequent supporters are painted as operating outside the established process, you should expect very little support from the military. There are plenty of people who I work with who will make comments… Read more »
and then there is the Gen Flynn treatment as a warning to anyone who might deviate
Thanks. Most of my experience is with NCOs and they are mostly in my association a very based group. I know one particular Captain who is hard right, and a couple who are center right, but my association with the officer class is much less.
I only have one real data point on the subject and it was with a former marine, an older man from CA. He recalled being mustered and waiting to be flown to Boston to shoot busing protesters if the MA NG failed to carry out orders of that nature. I expect that will be repeated. It will require local NG units willing to prevent massacres of their neighbors by units drawn from other regions.
It’s my belief that the Soviet troops would have indeed open fired on the citizens had the Ruble not lost so much of its value. They were pretty much in the same boat. Anyone not in the Politburo wasn’t really doing well. The same for our troops. They’re paid to do a job. Sure, maybe 10% would leave out of solidarity, but they’ll open fire on anyone, any time if ordered to do so. And no one should kid themselves about that (same for the police). This is why MAGAs most dangerous rhetoric is “support the troops/support the police.” The… Read more »

One footnote to this. The hysteria does serve a purpose in springing “Patriot Act 2” (bigger, longer, uncut). And every Romney and Graham will blow the trumpets upon its arrival. Wringing their hands over the “lack of civility and decency” in our society. It will also show why GW Bush was indeed, the worst President in modern history, or at least tying with LBJ. Including the thin gay man after him.
That’s actually in the works. The supposed target is “White supremacy,” but the definition now has expanded to MAGA rallies (no joke). It is almost as if they do want to spark a civil war.
Goldman, JPM, and a bunch of other corps are cutting funding to those that supported the claims of election fraud:

Many normies supported the first Patriot Act. Any half wit could see that it could be turned against anyone at some point and not just M.E. terrorists. Their response – “if you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about”. A reminder of how we lost our minds almost 20 years ago.
The fact they had the entire 1000+ page Patriot Act sitting on a shelf ready to go is one of the giveaways that 9/11 was definitely an op.
Another one was ‘privatized’ prisons. They provide labor to the wokest corporations and to the states and DOD at 17 cents per hour. At least we will still have jobs and kapitalism!
It’s time to move from analysis/commentary to education/training. OK, what to do now?
Step #1, The Rebirth Imperative
TV news is a prime vector for mental disease and despair. It is a puss-filled chancre that rots the mind and soul. Kill your TV now. Do it with violence. Break a sweat. Improvise from your toolbox and garage. How small can you make the pieces? Relish the process & exult. You have now turned a page and been reborn.
“They have become a collection of hysterical drama queens, who carry on like the world is about to end.”
Precisely and literally. This is the result of the cuntification of America, culminating in the positions of President of the Senate and Speaker of the House held simultaneously by radical cunts from San Francisco.
Keep in mind, none of these people have every worked a day in their lives. Not in a real job. Nancy was the mafia princess of some DNC power boss from Maryland. Gavin Newsom inherited money as his father was Getty’s (dirty oil company) right hand man. Etc. Etc. Etc. At least the blue bloods prior to WW2 had class, elegance and style. These people have none of that. They never read Emily Post like prior generations.
This is exactly why it would be so tragic to lose freedom to these types.
They are utter trash.
Three things happened. One a false flag operation for the CIA by the ANTIFA led the way. 2. Special operators using NSA intelligence about ANTIFA stole congressional computers with classified and perhaps incriminating information on them 3. MAGA people pushed their way iin some in almost a tourist like atmosphere 4. This is my fantasy of what happened
How much do you want to bet, that deeply imbedded in whatever horrifying bill comes out on Patriot Act 2, that it contains some sort of new FCC license to host servers? “Don’t worry, it’ll be very easy, like registering a drone with the FAA.”

Every name there is going on AOC’s list.

I watched the original ‘Aliens’ movie and it tracks the Covidian plot extremely well. I particularly like how the Science Officer deliberately countermands the ship Captain’s effort to establish initial quarantines! The parallels are haunting.
This is why actual elites (i.e. billionaires) in power is a better idea. It’s more honest and I also feel that guys like Gates, Bloomberg, Bezos are less hysterical.
[…] ZMan points out a sad truth. […]
This blog called it a few weeks back, when Z-Man predicted that 2021 might be so crazy that we look back in fondness to 2020. Remains to be seen of course, but if you take into account that our rulers need a Devil to rally against, and that they won’t have Trump to kick around any more, things could get really bad. Going after “Trumpism” or “whiteness” won’t be enough. They’re going to need actual people to demonize and point to as wreckers when the Glorious Future fails to arrive. They will run out of Demons very quickly and that’s… Read more »
All the male politicians think they are Harrison Ford (“Get off my plane!”) or Liam Neeson (“I will find you and kill you!”). Not sure about the women; Judi “M” Dench? Gal “Wonder Woman” Gadot?
