Long before the cock crows I am out and on the road to a secret meeting, so I am unable to post as usual. Instead, here is the paywall podcast that I do on Sunday and post up on SubscribeStar. Those supporting the cause will have no doubt listened and memorized it, but for the vast majority who are not kicking in the value of a cup of coffee, here is a portion of what you are missing.
What I’m trying to do with the paywall content is settle into a routine where twice a week there is a written post and on Sunday a podcast. That way, people kicking in five bucks or more per month can feel like they are getting their money’s worth. For now, the paywall stuff is lighter stuff. At least once a week is a movie review or commentary about popular culture. The Sunday show is all news stuff.

Drove by the local hospital today.
The ER parking lot was half full at best.
And yet the hoax continues….
Every few weeks I stop by the highest prestige local hospital to pick up some equipment my doctor’s not allowed to have delivered to me. For more than a year and a half now, the place has been post-apocalyptically empty. I have to walk past the emergency entrance to get to the employee door they have me use now, and there are no ambulances outside and nobody waiting inside, ever. Between that door and the room where I make the pick-up, there are two security desks and probably fifty miscellaneous non-patient rooms for testing etc. I always see exactly three… Read more »
That’s because Covid is not a “thing”.
They say that people are staying away because of Covid…
How do you write a Postal money order to Z man without knowing his secret identity?
Me, I’ve always sent him cash, which is obviously risky but less so than other means.
The above post is a reply to https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=25218#comment-269290.
I bet you can address it to pay Zman LLC.
I would email him and double check. 👍
He also likes XXL shirts that say; “Dedham Massachusetts Est. 1636.” While this is not as much the equivalent of a cup of coffee in Z-Bucks, the man does have an affinity for small beautiful New England towns. Even though he loathes the Yankee invader.
I can give you his address to send the cash to ;>)
Somewhat OT, it is interesting how the Regency is just drifting into “vaccines forever and ever” and lockdowns when politically it would have been so easy to let the good times roll, with lots and lots of hand-outs: “free” electric cars, solar roofs, etc. With no lockdowns and a national party “presided over” by the Regency. It really is Karens all the way down. Look at NY’s Kathy Hochul. Cuomo was so loathed and despised all she had to do was just show up and hand out goodies. Instead she’s choosing a fight with the nurses union there, and other… Read more »
That’s what is perplexing during this time. Instead of scoring easy points this Biden Administration bumbles from one avoidable disaster to the next one.
Afghanistan withdrawal, Haitians, border patrol shaming, France submarine dismissal, calling Putin a killer in interviews, atrocious handling of China-USA summit in Alaska, VP Harris doing…what, exactly?
This continues but the point remains that Covid is just a bullet point in the list of things great and small that they are screwing up.
More ominous is of this is all part of the plan.
Assuming the plan is to harm the US as much as possible my thought is that the Afghanistan botch job was a smokescreen to cover the real goal of delivering all kinds of state-of-the-art US military gear to China so they could performance test and reverse engineer all of it, thus giving them an enormous advantage in any conflict with the US.
Degrading US capability prior to a spring campaign against Taiwan would also explain the hysterical desperation to get the US military jabbed before winter.
Ordo ab chao. Woah sh*t.
They’re getting ready to tear our temples down.
What if the Third Temple isn’t a physical space, but a cultural one?
Can anyone remember waking up one morning and hearing some good news concerning our current state of affairs? How is it possible? Even something positive by mistake? Good thing the fall to doom is a long way. Newton was wrong. 32 feet per second per second is not the limit. Will we hit terminal velocity before impact?
Slightly disagree on Hochul.
The WEF bagmen realized she was an even bigger flunatic than Cuomo.
Thus, ol’ Andy was, “cleaned up, ” as they say.
Went by the major local ER today.
There was nothing doing on a lovely autumn afternoon.
Rethinking it, it probably is the WEF and the Generals about to go to war for dominance, pushing the Bankers and Chinese into making their moves too. Cloud War.
I think you’re pretty spot on.
The various Cloud tribes formed a united front to get Trump out of the WH.
Now that Trump is out of the WH, the various Cloud tribes are squabbling about who’s in charge, kind of like Al Haig.
She really is going to eat a major fecal sandwich on this one.
One would assume that of the National Guardsmen who are qualified to work in medical care, it’s already their day job. Of those she’s pressing into duty, what skills can they bring to the table besides rudimentary first aid or triage?
Combat Casualty Care………..
😄
I read — and admit to not fully grokking — the theory that firing the recalcitrants is to prepare the path for rationing services down the road from the present cycle.
OK, but how is rationing services a win for any politician with ambition? Hochul would like to be something more. She’d like to be re-elected. At this point, AOC could likely beat her as a Governor candidate. Or Hilaria Baldwin. [Who is Hispanic you know!] “Vote for me, I prevented your husband from getting admitted to the ER so he died of a heart attack” is not exactly a winner. Nor is rationing them based on race, or other things. Among other things it creates “conspiracies of one” that being only one, are impossible to detect by surveillance, agents provocateurs,… Read more »
Scratch a Dem pol and you will find a tyrant. Look the Covid scare has given the Dem mayors, governors absolute power over their domain that rivals that found in Communist China. That sir is pure nectar for the low IQ grasping sociopaths that constitute the bulk of the Democratic political ranks.
Besides they absolutely HATE the average citizen including their minorities. I saw that in the anti-gun debates that raged here in CA during the 80’s. And again when they let their own cities burn during the BLM riots.
I notice you renamed segment #3. It’s probably a better descriptor that the original but it’s way less fun.
So have a look at what these guys named their iconic sandwich.
No wonder our guy is tight on time if that’s where he gets his lunch.

Taking psychedelics, or more specifically, hallucinogens is the equivalent of throwing a monkey wrench into the most sophisticated piece of machinery in the known universe. It is no surprise Reason is an advocate of them. I went to a high school were acid was a big drug of abuse, which was a strange thing in the latter 80s, and had it offered to me many times. Even as a dumb teenager who was no stranger to trying drugs of abuse, even I understood it wasn’t a great idea to deliberately just “break” the mind, just to see what would happen.… Read more »
You’re mostly correct about psychedelics. There are some guys who have pseudo-mystical experiences on them without downsides, but I suspect these guys are spiritually shallow.
I know two guys whose latent schizophrenia was almost certainly triggered by too much consumption of psychedelics. They never came back.
I enjoyed them as a young guy but my problem was that 1 in 3 trips descended into harrowing existential horror. It’s just not worth it.
I just recently came across (youtube pushed on me) a YT video pushing LSD and that’s what got me thinking about it again (LSD was very commonly taken in the high school I went to). The problem is nobody really understands what’s going on. LSD and shrooms are not well understood or studied. They screw with the psyche, the mind, your inner voice. They don’t merely screw with brain chemistry and affect mood, they literally affect your mind to the point that you can be entirely disconnected from yourself and the world. We know that they can produce effects long… Read more »
I never understood psychedelics
Tars – you’re on to something: John Lennon get heavily into acid in ‘66 after The Beatles stopped touring. In her last book his then-wife Cynthia said he took so much of it he was incommunicado for extended periods. If you look up how he acted in interviews ‘63-‘65, he sharp, acerbic, & witty. By the late ‘60’s he seemed withdrawn, somewhat surly, & kinda spaced out. His personality completely changed or so it appears.
Can’t imagine taking that much of a hallucinogenic & not having it affect some sort of lasting effect.
They do unlock the mind, you just need a mind that can handle being unlocked. If you’re a gaslit, jewtube aficionado you won’t be able to handle it. When you ain’t you anymore, don’t look in a mirror on acid.
The whole Syd Barett thing made me wary of psychedelic drugs.
When I was a young guy I would run into older guys, particularly on the job, where I would say they were stuck in Vietnam. Then later in life, I started running into guys who never left Iraq. In both cases, men went off to war, but only shells came home. It was rare that I could really put my finger on exactly what made me think that, or at least any one thing, but it was obvious they weren’t left with a full deck. Of course, I didn’t know them before they were shipped off.
I see the link to Maggies has been culled. Someone please post it for me.
Damn. I like Maggies. Don’t always agree with people who obviously are or are aspiring to be haut bourgeoisie but worth a glance.
It may backfire a bit because Z’s blog was the quick way for me to find maggies. One less time in the day I’ll be here.

Its ok, but its so normie….
We lost American Digest too, but easy enough to get there.
One or two of /ourguys/ in the few comments on that WSJ Ice Age Americas article. Plus a couple of the usual shallow dipsh*ts, but whatevah. Before History Channel lost its friggin’ mind, I saw a documentary about the white seal hunters who followed the edge of the ice sheet to our east coast some 4000 years before the Siberian waves arrived across the land bridge. I was sitting next to a full-on wagon burner Indian, big fella, long braids, turquoise & silver, black ten gallon hat. Probably Paiute. Poor lad almost lost his stack. The article mentions a possible… Read more »
Today’s topic seems to be a potpourri of esoterica, so please allow me to offer up an obtuse insight. The internet blog sport of Normie bashing is strong on this site (and deservedly so); but in my experience, normies really don’t think of themselves as Normies. Rather, they always seems to think that “the other guy” is the normie despite holding tight to his/her commitment to voting harder. And they don’t get the joke when they are the butt of it because they are oblivious to their own mindset. In a form of peak irony, they see themselves as normal… Read more »
So what you’re saying is we have to learn to think like Jews.
Bullseye
Bingo
Winner winner
Chicken dinner
(I had to post more than “bullseye” to get past the limit filter)
Nah.
He means we need to grill, chill, have a couple beers, and watch a little sportsball.
It’s true that Jews mostly game the system solely for their personal or tribal benefit, but that’s not what I’m suggesting. At the root, I’m saying that most DR types are inclined to stand in a firing line and take back this country the old fashioned way, which is noble and manly, but expensive in lives lost. Modeling indicates that the road to success in the modern technological era, and facing a new kind of enemy, is via the backdoor and hitting where in really hurts, and that takes a different mindset and skill set.
We all do it. We’re not all as red-pilled as some other fella. There are conspiratards who think we’re all sheep falling for the media’s attempt “divided we fall” gig and stuck in “identity politics” whereas they, the smart ones, understand there is a secret cabal of people who orchestrate EVERYTHING behind the scenes. Yet they are dumb enough to leave just enough evidence out there in the open so our super-smart/clever conspiratard can piece it all together into a coherent narrative. The lack of self-awareness is not confined to the “normie” and conspiratard, it infects us too. We all… Read more »
I have a friend that thinks that Ashil Babbet and George Floyd are living on some island with millions of dollars given to them by the government for the acting jhob they did!
Thanks, that helps. A lot. I’m having a hard time keeping my yap shut, being Cassandra and all. I can’t possibly scorn Normie. That’s cheap points, and why would he care about whatever bug is up my ***, anyways? Reading Selco on how people change into something truly evil even for the most mundane transactions gives me great pause. Fantasies of blowing it all up and then grabbing the bugout bag for escape and evasion in the woods is no guarantee of ruling the ruins. So true that enjoying today in this miraculous age is a fine waste of time… Read more »
“The future freedom fighter will be a highly innovative and effective infiltrator…”
The free man might be a starving, nameless inmate… but he sees four lights.
The slave might be wealthy, well-fed and well-clothed, but he sees five lights. Or six. Whatever you want to hear.
Sort of. The thing what looks like the iron fist of the Imperial Capitol is highly dependent on a super inflated stock market, and steady supply of cheap food and utilities. IOW a relatively passive and lethargic population. Really that its the only way you can maintain control of a population when you are outnumbered 10,000 to 1.. Bread and circus. That said what you are proposing is what Chairmen Mao wrote in one of his tracts about the saboteur hiding among the population. The same with those who resisted the Nazis in Europe during WWII. It works and is… Read more »
Is there a way to pay for the paywall content anonymously?
I think you can use a gift card. Frankly, I would not worry about it. I cannot see the payment information and the site owners cannot see it either. That data passes to the payment processor who returns a code to the site to indicate success or failure. The only thing anyone sees is the e-mail you used.
Good technical comment, I am always worried about my payment history being used in the future to put me in a black-list.
As a Subscribestar paying member, I don’t know how I missed this one. Yes, maybe I do know how I missed this one. I like to listen to this when I’m doing projects, so I try and listen on my Android phone. To do this I let my Lastpass log me in and autofill in the credentials and then I have to further put in a 4 digit code that is emailed to my Proton account. When I go to my email to get the code Subscriber star disappears. I am in an endless loop. Largely I listen from my… Read more »
Oh, it’s getting weirder in the markets.
After Tuesday’s bond rate tantrum the Dollar Index (DXY) now stands at 94.32.
The market price of silver is down to 21.58 and gold is down to 1729.
Nasdaq futures are up 64 points and Dow futures are up 95 points as I write this.
I’m starting to wonder if the guy who came up with the, “dollar milkshake, ” theory was correct all along.
She really did bite me. And cry.
So true. They are like that. Heck, I’m like that. Dreadful, really.
But teeth? Biting teeth? Don’t tell the girls, but you are talking every man’s secret nightmare.
I’ll add my voice to those saying that the paid content is well worth the price of admission. The Sunday podcast is generally hilarious, even when Z-Man is on a rant, and the Top 100 Movies reviews are spot on.
Yep. And it’s a good way to thank the Z-Man for all the free content he provides on this page, too.
Well, you’re off to either earn some money or to overthrow the regime, and I’m good with both.
“Well, you’re off to either earn some money or to overthrow the
regime, and I’m good with both.”
Sure. But preferably the latter.
“Nevadans can be proud to welcome Afghan evacuees as our neighbors” https://lasvegassun.com/news/2021/sep/29/nevadans-can-be-proud-to-welcome-afghan-evacuees-a/ Off topic yet important to spotlight how the media has eagerly stepped up to push and promote the decline of civilization. While plenty of opinion pieces have cheered on the replacement of heritage Americans, it is striking to count the number of faceless editorial boards who have lined up to support this process. How, exactly, will 100K+ people from a 6th century culture help my country? With reports of child rape in one refugee camp in Wisconsin and a possible gang rape of a female soldier at another,… Read more »
“Long before the cock crows I am out and on the road to a secret meeting”
If you tell us about it, it’s not secret. 😏
Best way to keep a secret. Keep it to yourself. Second best, tell one other person—if you must. There is no third best.
“…long before the cock crows” Z is waxing biblical.
Reminds me of a conversation I had with a coworker/friend recently. Conversation topic was cheating and infidelity, he said something along the lines of, “I know quite a few guys that cheat on their spouses. I don’t know how they do it. I’d be paranoid up at night worried about getting caught.” I said, “The fact that you know of guys that are doing it means too many people know.”
Along those lines, I was out shooting the breeze at a bar a few weeks ago, and wound up in a conversation with a fellow in his late 30s/early 40s.
He was trying to catch up with a woman via text, so the conversation turned towards that topic.
Eventually, he revealed that among his circle of friends it was essentially a given that the ladies had or were making the rounds among the guys.
Not sure how common this is today. The guy seemed fairly normal for the most part.
Right about the brief Myspace era, a friend showed me hookup culture. He’d get four or five messages a night by chicks who wanted him to come over, scratch their itch, and leave. The young live in an entirely different world than we do.
Why the fuck would anyone complicate their life with more than one women? Even for chach.
But yes, it is not unommon anymore for girls to go through a group of friends. Very odd, gross and uncomfortable for normal people.
In that scenario, my nausea level about being eskimo brothers with my close male friends would exceed my interest level in multiple female partners.

All us cool kids have bought passes for going behind the famous Green Door. Those of you who haven’t: what’cha waitin’ for? The Sunday podcast alone is more than worth the cost. Add some bonus blogging, and you’ve got a real bargain!
Geeze, like we’re made out of money! Beer? Luxury! We have to suck on a piece of camp cloth!
Damp cloth, that is…
Damp camp cloth doesn’t sound very appealing.
Postal money orders and a PO box is the only way to go. Nobody can keep anything secure. Funding wrong-thinkers with a credit card is a good way to get doxxed. The nice thing about postal money orders is you can cash them at the post office.
I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, but as someone who grew up less than 4 miles from the national cathedral, I am not at all surprised to see that the religion of leftism has moved on to the stained glass phase. I was looking at the Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, and of course he’s from yale and has like been awarded a chivalric title or some such in England, so naturally he’s gonna want to appease baal and what not. But this can get really awkward for the left, the more they pretend to be a form of Christianity,… Read more »
It’s also not all that surprising that a “church” (more like a memorial) with no set dogmas of any sort could be coopted by zealots of a different sort. It’s like in China where it’s mandated that all churches are arms of The State, but like much else they do it here voluntarily.
I visited WNC back in 1984 and really enjoyed the experience. I took several photos of the structure and of several stained glass windows with my Nikon FG and tripod. I’m not emotionally involved with The Lost Cause, but the Generals of the Confederacy are part of American history, among other events depicted on those windows. I left there touched by the feeling that I had visited America’s Church, even if it was officially Episcopalian. Well, once again the Evil Twins of PC and AA have struck; I should have seen this coming. Yet I have an 8 x 10… Read more »
and lady “bishops”!
Back in 2000 I went to a Sunday service on the Cornell campus, and that day the visiting minister was the dean of the Yale Divinity School. Everything you’ve ever suspected about the moral relativism of the elite left was on display in his sermon. Honestly, the worst stereotype of post-modern Protestantism wouldn’t do justice to the words coming out of his mouth. His message was, in sum, “in a changing world, what’s right and wrong is always open to interpretation, but you people can sleep at night because elites like myself stand sentry at the cultural doors and will… Read more »
Probably one of the best comments I have read on any of his threads. FYI: there was a Livestream involving Edward Dutton, Richard Spencer and Devon Tracey (of Atheism is Unstoppable fame), you can still find it on YOUTUBE I believe. The topic was religion as a social utility. Quite interesting but also disappointing at the same time.
I’m guessing most of us have seen NYS governor Kathy Hochul’s bizarre sermon from this past weekend, but if you haven’t here is yet another Cloudy taking a stab at the deep theological issues facing us in 2021: We are not through this pandemic. I wished we were but I prayed a lot to God during this time and you know what – God did answer our prayers. He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers – he made them come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us and we must say,… Read more »
The general rule in academia is: if you want to find out what a given egghead really, truly hates, all you have to do is look at xzheyr field of study. Academic historians loathe the past, which is why academic history is now nothing more than an endless quest to find everyone and everything from before The Current Year lacking by The Current Year’s standards. Professors of English Literature loathe the very idea of literature, which is why their writing is the ugliest, most obtuse, neologism-filled gobbledygook you’ll ever find. ___ Studies are just self-loathing dressed up as hatred of… Read more »
From the git go there were all manner of Christianities. The torah based church in Jerusalem lead by brothers James and Jude. The most popular church and creators of the first new testament were the Marcionites who reject the evil yaw way. Gnostic. Pauline. Those that became Catholics. The Arians were popular. From Martin Luther through now, there’s been an explosion sects. Unitarians, Universalists, Zio rapturists, Christian Identity, Whatever-ists. Personally, I think the Marcionite approach would have been better utilize Paul’s Christology, lighten up on the old testament stuff. I’d go further, utilize Dyeus Ph’ter who is Our European Heavenly… Read more »
Cyrus, Redeemer, avatar of Mitra, came back as Jesus, so it was believed by many legionnaires in the Roman army. If Jesus’s earthly father, Tiberius, was a relative of Caesar…I think we could cook up an acceptable lineage to Jupiter Optimus here. Sol Invictus was an attempt. That’s what the Free Masons were trying to do, assemble an improved knowledge base from the old knowledge bases. We got modern science of the Enlightenment and Washington DC out of it. The Capitol of a new country and new system is designed with Freemasonic architecture and very little Christian motifs. We had… Read more »
Ah shucks. I’m not being facetious here, Christians, and no offense meant. This is how the New Testament and early Christianity was developed. I want a Christ Militant to the Judeo-Wokism that all the Third World is copying. We forget that China is copying and adapting what they learned from us and our small-hatted hangers-on. I ain’t fooled by the faux atheism of the Bolshevik Soviet or aggressively sneering Judeo-Atheist fronts like “American Atheist.org”, Skeptic Society, or that James Randi bozo. Status snobbery by these types is poor gruel as well as obnoxious. I want something meaty to satisfy the… Read more »
Wait, I just got it as I hit ‘post comment’.
A revival of Gothic Arianism. That’ll get the old juices flowing. A rethink would make people sit up and pay attention. This limp-dick wankery we have now will last as long as a ladyboy’s youth.
I think we are on similar paths. There is a lot of good stuff in the Judastan testaments. And it also has ways it leads our people astray.
Having our religion based upon a foreign people as heroes: Not Good, it leads to fetishing foreigners. Hurray for the mythical mad man Moses massacring Midianites. Yaw way akbar!
I agree too that the snarky atheist are annoying, even icky.
We want and need religion. A Christianity that keeps the good parts, and leaves out the judey parts, homes the Christ upon Europeans people.
We sent incredible millions of tons of material to Soviets. Rosie the Riveter.
I’ll have to look up some things about what you wrote and think outwards.
Jupiter, as I am sure you know, comes from Dyeus Ph’ter.
As does, the Deus & Pater used by the Latin church.
As does Zeus.
The Old Testament has a lot of value. At its core it is National Socialist. Solidarity around the tribe.
OT warns clearly that chasing after the gods of other tribes results in destruction.
And here we are on the eve of our destruction. The victors being the foreign tribe with the stories of their god delivering victory over the us.
Yup. We are of like mind.
I found out that (((Harry Hopkins))) was in charge of the Lend-Lease to Stalin. Stalin and his Bolshie administrators paid nothing. Hitler would’ve won.
Also, 50,000 of the first convicts sent to Australia were Irish rebels. Their uprising began as they saw a wounded Britain defeated in the American Revolution.
