Year End Finale

It is that time of year again when I go into my winter hibernation. For the next two weeks the show will be on hiatus for Christmas and New Year’s. There will be regular written content here and behind the green door, but it is time to give the old pipes a rest and prepare for the new season of the show. This is the time of year when I plot new ideas and changes to the format.

For the last show of the season, I decided to keep it light and do some newsy stuff, but one thing I missed is the latest Twitter drama. I must admit that even though I am not on Twitter, I am enjoying this more than I should. For example, I see that Keith Olbermann was suspended by Musk for being an all around horrible person. The new horrible person rule in the terms of service is going to be great.

It also appears that Musk has banned doxing and mobbing. Antifa accounts will no longer be allowed to post personal data about normal people. They will also be banned if they try to get a mob together to attack a normal person. This is pretty much the entirety of their activity on Twitter. They are either doxing people or they are spying on people, hoping to get them attacked in public.

The best part of this is that Musk banned some activists from the mainstream sites like the Washington Post and CNN. All of the fruitcakes who use the word “journalist” like it means “cleric” are up in arms. “Just imagine if this had happened to a Fox News reporter” they gasp. The fact that the old regime did this routinely has been forgotten, because fanatics see only that which confirms their fanaticism.

Where this leads is hard to know. The crazies will never abandon the site, but Musk seems to be determined to apply some basic rules evenly. The Yoel Roth/child porn stuff seems to have rattled Musk. The day he fired that perv was when things started changing quickly as far as moderation. History says the sexual degeneracy stuff is always the bridge too far in these matters.

What is happening with Twitter is a good reminder that one person with power is better than a million people with no power. The reason to win over the masses is so that people with real power decide to join the cause. That can only happen when the masses appear to hold the moral high ground. Musk was moved to act because people he liked were getting the shaft from Twitter.

I think that Z Man strawman’s Enoch’s-Johnson’s position a bit when he says they believe that “all of the problems that we have” have a source that we can’t mention. I guess that both Enoch and Johnson would agree that progressivism is a huge problem that is not entirely emanating from the unspeakable source. More specifically, I guess that they would agree that some strains of whites have utopian, evangelical and pathologically compassionate tendencies that cause lots of problems for us and that these tendencies are independent of the unmentionable source. From my point of view, we have two interrelated… Read more »

Well, The Z-man is certainly light in his loafers when he dances around the JQ.
“Everybody knows about it so why tell people about it?”
The answer is as plain as day. Everybody knows about but does not talk about it. Talking is a prerequisite of action.
That’s why Ye is being destroyed. Who knows where his talking might lead?

The Pajeets are muscling in precisely because they act in group solidarity.

I think z, and Jared Taylor’s point, is that the Jews simply do what whites should be advocating for ourselves: always practicing what’s best for them. For centuries, no matter what country they’re in, Jews are always Jews first, and they advocate policies that help themselves and practice in-group preferences. It’s a positive identity. The blacks are trying to do something similar, but the average IQ works too strongly against it working. People like z and Jared Taylor are saying, whites should be focusing on building a positive identity like this, and advocate for our interests, rather than focus on… Read more »

Jews control everything, including a Feral Block of Intimidators ready to infiltrate and ruin any group of White men attempting to advocate for their identity or for any cause which might benefit them.

Worse yet: Any group of White male heterosexual males trying to start a ‘club’ or any group of like-minded individuals will be set upon like rats on cheese- by other Whites.

There’s nothing prohibiting it. You have to live outside the system and the media and have a positive identity. This is how the Muslims and Amish operate. They don’t pay attention to mainstream media and they don’t send their kids to American public schools. This is why z is always talking about building something outside the system.

That’s correct. I also believe the Amish “burn off” their malcontents through the habit of
“Rumspringa”. Before officially joining the group as a full blown, participating member, their children take a year off and live in the outside world. Those with a taste for it, stay. Those who dislike it, return with knowledge and renewed appreciation for their communal lifestyle.

This is juxtaposed to Muslims who use threat of violence to retain membership in the group. Apostasy being punishable by death. Not all Muslims, I agree, but some of the more radical from the ME.

They don’t know how incredibly disproportionate things are. They generally just think “hey, these slightly different white people do a bit better than us, and happen to be a bit more prominent in certain areas.” That may have even been true in the old America with the old WASP elites.

But if you actually count, the numbers are astounding. Like, every single Joe Biden person is, other than a few useless POC tokens. People either can’t or refuse to see it. A good historical understand of Germany and Russia is also missing among most people.

Yep, Jews’ success is NOT built on IQ, though they do seem a bit smarter on average, but it’s not much and we have plenty more smart people than they do.

Near neurotic drive to get ahead/pushiness This isn’t so much a “hey, they’re hard working,” it’s more a “hey, they’re borderline autistic.” Jews just push things.

If any “journalist” ever gets arrested for blatantly breaking laws, the rest of them cry out in pain and carry on like “our democracy” is at stake. They give themselves awards, which is really funny. Most of them are retarded. Maybe when the Aztecs vote themselves into power, they will start sacrificing them to the volcano gods. It’ll be good family fun to watch.

What you say is unquestionably true. However, there is one other scenario that could prove our salvation. Insane Clown World, because of its shrieking irrationality, internal contradictions, and the galloping stupidity of its elites, could weaken and disintegrate of its own accord, which would negate its ability to project power, not only around the world, but even to the periphery of its own domain. And, if central power declines enough, it is certainly possible that like-minded whites will be able to create functionally, and possibly formally, autonomous areas in the hinterlands.

They’re greasing the skids right now to normalize pedophilia. There’s no sexual depravity that they feel comfortable taking a moral stand against. Bringing kids to drag shows, gay pride parades, and teaching them sex and gender fluidity from elementary school sets up sexualized confused youths, perfect prey. If you were to look into a crystal ball 10 years in the future, would you be shocked to see CNN and the NTY promoting pedophilia as normal, and those opposed to it as bigots and purveyors of misinformation?

CA Dem Congresswoman Katie Porter aka “Katie Porker” (hugely fat White woman) has already done this. She harangued people for saying the words pedophile and groomer, saying it was objectively anti-gay. Since she’s in a safe Democratic District and has no internal rivals its a safe move for her.

Porter isn’t in that safe of a seat. I am sure her district has been fortified, but she won this time 52-48% the vote margin was about 9,100 in her favor. In California, they don’t rely on middle of the night ballot dumps, they take weeks to tabulate the results so they have plenty of time to bring in the extra votes they need. But based on how close this is, I don’t doubt a majority of the voters in Porter’s district hate her.

I was in Porter’s district, then my area with Trump flags and the Nixon Library was carved away and put in a district where an R won by about 10%. So that carve out is what put her back in her seat.

The fact that she A) felt safe doing this and B) hasn’t been forced to resign, shows that the regime feels that it doesn’t even have to police it’s own ranks for this anymore.

Here’s the quote from Porter.

During a Congressional hearing on ‘anti-LGBTQ violence,’ a Democratic Representative parroted the same claim as several LGBTQ activists that the terms ‘groomer’ and ‘pedophile’ are discriminatory against sexual preferences and gender identity.

“You know, this allegation of ‘groomer’ and ‘pedophile,’ it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their gender identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity,” Porter claimed.

The homosexual risk was passe even by the early 70s. Have you ever read “Banford’s “The Puzzle Palace”? It’s a history of the NSA. If I recall the story correctly, way back when (book is from mid-80s) a few highly cleared employees in NSA were discovered to be of the gay variety. Since they were apparently valuable workers, they were required to disclose their homosexuality to their family, to minimize risk of blackmail.

Sadly, it will not be child pornography per se that checks the Left, for want of a better description. But the impulsivity that causes such an abhorrent and repulsive message to be pushed will destroy the Left when the Elite has enough. For example, even though it is ultimately counterproductive, the Left is going after its former ally Musk because he deviated slightly from the Regime orthodoxy. The Left will continue to be reckless and self-destructive until they screw around with one too many Musks. That day is coming.

I suppose in some places you might find a Dem primary with a “Green” candidate or some other nobody, but a real decision between two alternative Dem’s?

Keith Doberman and other Leftist whorenalists are getting a taste of their own medicine.

Musk ain’t Jesus, but he’s valuable.

Barrons is now running a hit piece claiming Tesla investors want to replace Musk as CEO.

I’m not sure that would be a bad thing because Musk is so central to Tesla the way Jobs was to Apple and Bezos was at Amazon.

Putting some Cook or Jassy style clod in at Tesla would certainly tamp down the EV buzz.

It really is extremely amusing to see the propaganda-reader class turn on Musk and Tesla overnight. One day they were shilling and cheerleading for Saint Elon, and now he is unfit to lead, and Twitter could be better run by (insert some eyeball story telling pump-and-dump SV grifter). Think of how many people who literally adore Musk who are also die-in-the-wool lefties/Democrats whose hero is doing an about face and in turn the propaganda-reader-class is doing an about face on him. It also shows them what we know, which is that the “financial news”, is just another arm of the… Read more »

I’ve heard Keith Oberman’s “word salad” speeches for going on two decades now. They are simple exercises in mental masturbation from a second rate intellect. If he were somewhat brighter, he’d have a law degree an be holding his tirades in front of a jury.

I’ve never watched Olberman enough to be disgusted by him although froom what I’ve read he is pretty much a pig. But he’s been sometimes pretty entertaining to watch, he’s a third-rate intellect with pretensions of intelligence and a complete lack of self-awareness. That’s a bad combination for someone who with a platform.

Olbie detested GW Bush in the early part of the century so he and I shared that. I would watch him on MSNBC just for his skewering of Bush and Turd Blossom Rove and Bill O’reilly. After Obama became president, he and that entire crew went insane in a dramatic fashion.

The way I see all this is this. Flies everywhere land on shit. Lay eggs in shit. Fly away. No sooner does your dog squat and take a shit, that flies arrive to ‘do their thing.’ I don’t have to get down on all fours, for a close up look. Yes, if the flies enter my abode, they deserve a fate that means wriggling their last on a strip of fly paper. Swat! Or some spray – if you have some old Raid stock around, better as the new, environmentally friendly version seems to do everything but kill. Extrapolate the… Read more »

I don’t Twitter myself, but it is an entity worth watching/monitoring in this political climate. A barometer of “crazy” if you will. I leave that for those with more time and interest and read their thoughts on such.
