1. DIE initiatives strike again as the sole oiler (resupply ship) for the Abraham Lincoln carrier group runs aground:

   https://www.zerohedge.com/military/us-navy-oiler-runs-aground-forcing-carrier-strike-group-scramble-fuel

   Basically, this carrier group is now out of action. Don’t be fooled by the tough talk about refitting and crewing a commercial tanker.

   The refit operation would take years to complete. Crewing is already an issue, as shown by the 17 support vessels the Navy is already mothballing due to a total inability to find crewmen.

   • Nowhere in the article does it make any mention of who was captaining/piloting the oiler when it ‘ran aground.’ We shouldn’t be in the Middle East anyhow, but AINO and its military are a joke.

2. “an international economic elite centered in London and New York” – aka the Nylons.

   • That, or The Lonnys.

3. Sounds like good news but now we will eventually have to listen to Z call all these alternative, seemingly more based parties in Europe grifters

4. Daily reminder they hate us and want us dead:

5. I would have classified Keir Starmer as “servant of Satan” but “vulgar simpleton” describes him quite nicely!

6. “an international economic elite centered in London and New York”

   I have a suspicion that there might be another name for such folks.

   • Germans.

   • Amish.

7. Hungary and Poland have been the wild cards in all this. They have basically told the EU to “pound sand” with the immigration issue despite the threats of fines by the EU. Bottom line is Germany has become too expensive to maintain it’s industry and had been moving their production lines to both of their neighbors for decades. Hungary is quite happy to start bussing migrants to Brussels and Poland recently passed a law granting soldiers immunity when using deadly force at the Belarus border.

   Audi, Raytheon, Borg Warner, BASF and dozens of other major industrial sites and pharmaceutical companies have been popping up in both countries. The idiotic decision to shut down of their nuclear power plants followed by the Nordstream disaster were devastating to the cost of energy. VW, Germany’s largest company and private employeer, is looking at retracting it’s job security bledge and could let go between 15,000 to 30,000 employees. This will obviously have a ripple effect across their supply chain and possibly galvanize union workers to side with the AfD in protest if the other parties are unable to influence the VW decision.

   “The European Commission has triggered a special procedure to deduct the €200 million fine that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has imposed on Hungary over the country’s long-standing restrictions on the right to asylum.”

   “German industry is set to pay about 40% more for energy in 2023 than in 2021, before the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a study by Allianz Trade said on Monday, citing contract expiries and delayed wholesale pricing effects”

   “The Polish parliament has passed legislation that removes criminal liability from uniformed personnel who use firearms when defending Poland’s eastern border. Human rights experts call the amendments a ‘license to kill’.”

   • All true and yet . . . Poland is bringing in FIlippinos to do manual labor.
     

     • Empress Blackpill ever on the scene to extinguish any ray of sunshine.

       • Sorry to depress you but I believe in facing reality. I haven’t given into despair because I have sons and a grandson whose future is likely to suck, and we want to give them as much of a cushion as we can possibly provide. But pretending it will all work out fine is not my preferred solution. Filipinos aren’t blacks – but they are still not White and too many White men still think with the wrong head. And all it takes is one.

         • Facing reality is one thing. Constantly sowing woe and demoralization makes future reality even worse.

     • Hungary is also bringing in Fillippinos.

       • This reminds me of how a large part of America’s ‘multi-culturalism’ used to be because of our soldier’s marrying women from where they were based or where they were fighting wars and then having kids and those kids made up our second-generation diversity, and how that became frowned upon because Muslims/tribals/whatever and the military started discouraging it. We went wrong somewhere back when that changed.

   • Poland is currently led by a Eurocrat, Donald Tusk, and has around 10,000 GAE troops stationed there at 8 permanent bases. The US will gladly use Poland’s seething hatred of Russia to further entrench themselves. Anyone claiming Poland is going to remain some bastion of anti-migration, traditional culture has another thing coming. Have you not seen the precipitous decline in religiosity within the country? It’s only a matter of time until you see their once devout, Catholic women celebrating abortion just like in Ireland and Argentina.

   • Hungary today.

8. I swear, everything in the west all about the F’ing money – let them eat cake – as long as I got mine, F the clodhoppers…. One problem is, there’s too much cake around for everyone, at least for the moment. However, if the tards in charge keep enthusiastically importing millions of swarthy turds from various s***holes, that’ll change and then things could get spicier.

   • Mmmmm…spice cake…

     • The spice cake must flow.

       • To the extent that cake is capable of flowing.

9. I hope Europe is in open rebellion this time next. Survival is very much on the line. And there is a distinct RINO feel to the alleged mainstream immigration hardliners like Sweden. They are mendacious and they do lie on both sides of the pond

10. Honestly, there is nothing more wonderful than watching the pie shrink and as a consequence the internal fighting break out. These people don’t even deserve a tiny crumble of the pie.

    Let reality batter the outer frontiers, let reality come through to the center and cleanse all the filth away.

11. It is impossible for Europe to revolt politically. We rightly like to complain about the rigged uniparty system in AINO, but when it comes to channeling popular sentiment into ruling class prerogatives, we’ve really got nothing on Europe’s parliamentary systems, created and refined for this very purpose. Any European revolt must be by other means, and I’m just not seeing it. Would like to be wrong.

    • The continent of feudalism is very good at controlling the peasants

    • 1688: A somewhat desperate William of Orange takes the bait and allows the Bank of England to be formed by foreign tempters

12. The “anti-immigration” BSW party in Germany was founded by two women. One of them is Amira Mohamed Ali.

    The leader of the “far-right” AfD is Alice Weidel – a lesbian.

    I am not sure what the establishment is afraid of. They are a perfect product of the current year.

    • Wow, I still get surprised by the level of clownf*ckery. Shame on me for not learning

      • Whoever is proclaimed the new, up and coming populist ‘hero’ or politician, just know they are gatekeepers and have already been suborned. When/if a legitimate leader arises, you won’t see mention of him anywhere in the media.

13. Ukraine is the bellwether. Winter is coming and it won’t take much to bring down the rest of its utility infrastructure. That means another flood of emigrants into the EU and the double whammy of high energy prices and social welfare costs. Servicing sovereign debt is at the breaking point and de-industrialization means there is no way to produce your way out of financial disaster. Without a major war, the only option left is to unleash the illegals and foment civil conflict. Then hope the plebs demand tyranny to save themselves. Better for everyone is the lamppost solution sooner rather than later. Less death and mayhem.

14. EU crumbling, slow-motion destruction from within. Gradually, then suddenly.

    Brexit may have bought the UK some more time, although their policies seem to work against their long term livability.

15. One other factor that might be influencing opinion in Europe is the fact that Russia is winning in Ukraine and Israel isn’t winning in the Levant. The vaunted American military technological superiority is being proved to be illusory, although it is still dangerous. The Russians, Hamas, and Hezbollah are showing that resistance is not futile and even the elites in Europe are starting to take note; the elites in countries such as China and India have been aware of it for a while. Russia has also proved that it is possible to withstand US and European financnail sanctions–the West has sanctioned Russia into prosperity!

    • In Philly and other major cities the police no longer control the streets:

      • Coming soon to your local diverse hellhole.

        • Coming soon to your “safe suburb.”

16. The voting shenanigans will work as long as the various green/socislist/globalist parties command 50-60% of the electorate. That majority allowed France to slow dow LePen. But that majority is shrinking in terms of the locals…propped up mainly by the immigrants they’re rushing to import.

    Here at home, Ohio is too red, so 15,000 Haitians get dumped in a small city. Their only purpose? To terrorize the locals and create a new base from which to launch vote fraud.

    The solution to a collapse in popular support is to import a controllable minority. So far, the importers are winning. But Sweden is an example of the problem of the savages, best summed up by Mr. Spock in that famous “Spock with a beard” episode after Kirk asks him how he so easily spotted the evil Kirk doppleganger.

    “It was far easier for you as civilized men to act like savages, than for the savages to act like civilized men.”

    Ohio is now learning this.

    • Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how many locals ‘wake up’ to the reality of replacement immigration. The only numbers that matter are demographics. Fully 1/3 of Swedish residents have at least one parent born abroad. None of the third-world immigrants are willing to accept a generous payment to leave – White women and life-long welfare are powerful inducements to stay. Europe’s White birth rate is even more abysmal than AINO’s. If 51% of a native White population of even 70% becomes even moderately anti-immigration, it will still be outnumbered (and out armed) by the immigrants and the White globalist traitors. AINO’s numbers are the worst, of course, with Whites just above 50% of the population.

      • Exactly! Forget about Sweden (for the moment) look at what happened just here in the USA with our Black population after the Civil Rights Act in the early 60’s. What were the numbers…10%, 12%? The lid came off and the here we are today, just with the dysfunction of that smallish segment of the population. Now add in “our” new immIgrants—South of the border—adding at least another 20-25% non-White minority—and we are screwed, permanently.

        • But there’s always a positive. Within seconds of the Fed’s 50 basis point move, the market had already signaled it needed another 25. In the last few days, it looks to me as if it’s signaling for 50-75. Debt service will roll over into higher and higher rates, and then it’s Stein’s Law for the win.

      • Offering to pay people to leave is just doing nicely. The question is whether the Swedes have the guts to no longer ask nicely. I don’t think anybody would have guessed they’d flip this far. But it turns out that raping their daughters was a bit much for them to stomach…

        • Precisely. Romeistan wasn’t burnt in a day. It is totally unrealistic to expect the Swedes to rise up and slaughter or even forcibly expel the savages overnight. The fact that their hearts are hardening against the invaders cannot but be interpreted as a positive development, except by those whose mind and soul have already been burnt to a crisp.

        • Not paying them to stay would work better and faster.

    • I’ve no doubt Roddenberry intended that line as a dig at civilized men.

      • He and his writers were good at skewering pretty much everyone.

        the Cloud People episode, for example.

        • That episode was the TOS episode “The Cloud Minders,” in which a remote, uncaring elite lived in the sky, pursuing lives of leisure in a floating city-state, while far below on the planet’s surface, the prole work force labors in hazardous occupations like mining. The Cloud People vs. The Dirt People, as it were.

      • I’m not so sure. At the time that episode was produced there were still many Leftists who believed in civilization, although the tide was most assuredly turning.

17. Great column.

    The political cordon sanitaire-strategy was pioneered by the Swedes, with their (publicly announced) “December Agreement” of 2014, when all the other parties in the Swedish parliament agreed to never vote with the Sweden Democrats in a vote of no confidence, effectively giving the government dictatorial powers.

    Sarah Wagenknecht is an establishment spanner in the works of AfD, a Spielverderber. There’s no way she’s legit.

    • One way to manage the anti-immigrant voting block, is to fracture your managed oppositions into several parties, like AfD/PSW. If AfD gets too big, their voters are going to expect delivery on the promises, but if you’ve got two or three “anti”-immigration parties, none of them will be big enough to be held to account.

      In 2015, the Danish People’s Party became the biggest party in the winning coalition, a position that traditionally gives you the pick of the prime minister in a coalition government.

      Did the DPP do that? Lol, they chivalrously declined, not only the PMO, but cabinet seat entirely! They’d rather be outside the government pissing in, they explained to their voters, because they’d have more influence that way.

      They were decimated at the next election, losing 2/3 of their vote, and today there are 3 upstart clown parties vying for the anti-immigration vote and each are too small for their voters to expect them to have any influence.

      Meanwhile, the chairman of DPP stepped down after the electoral defeat, got a sinecure job as a director of a big port in Jutland.

      • Classic re DPP. Thanks. I don’t know if you are familiar with Three-Card Monty, and it is rare to see it here any longer, but it obviously served as the model for the fraudulent political systems. As I mentioned elsewhere, they really aren’t bothered at all that the fraud is increasingly recognized, which indicates a great deal of confidence, warranted or otherwise. I suspect warranted as long as the prosperity continues.

      • I think right now the regime parties are doing the outsiders a big favor by doing shenanigans to keep them out of power. Right now, for example, Le Pen is free to criticize the government, without having to offer anything to the disaffected. If she had gained the majority in the National Assembly, Macron would have blamed her for his problems. As it stands, the regime is crippled and is responsible for the ongoing decline in French life.

        In Germany, I think the bigger concern for AfD is actually winning too fast. They are a bizarre party right now. Every other week they are disavowing one of their leaders. They did this to their top EU parliament candidate, who won anyway. They are nowhere near ready to run a lemonade stand, much less become the majority party. They need to mature and weather the storm. This will attract genuine organizational talent if they can avoid stepping on too many rakes.

        I think politics in Europe right now are like a forest with lots of dry underbrush. A charismatic, but organizationally sound figure could be the spark that leads to the great fire that consumes European politics. There is no one like this right now, but demand has a funny way of producing the man for the job. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

        • But at some point, you need to step up to the plate. If you never participate in government, your guys will never get the experience needed to wield real power.

          The clown aspect is common to all European natpop parties, it was the same with Farage: he ran UKIP as his own personal press agency, staffing it with cronies, incompetents and Tory infiltrators.

          Farage also habitually violated rules #1 and #2 in public relations: never let the camera catch you with a cigarette in your and never let them catch you holding an alcoholic beverage.

          DPP sent their top vote-magnet, Morten Messerschmidt (!), to Brussels six months before the election in 2015, and never spoke about mass immigration on the campaign trail. Back then, I thought it was a clever strategy to get moderates on board, but then they pulled the stunt i described above.

          Only a few weeks later, roaming bands of Merkel’s guests of honor, started pouring over the Danish border to Germany, an migrate up the motorways, with Danish police stopping taxpayers from using them, and giving the invaders sandwiches and water and so forth.

          The Danish People’s Party, who were supposed to piss in, never uttered a peep, they’d all dived for the air raid shelters.

          I have a lot of names in my little book, but Kristian Dahl, the former DPP chairman, is right in top, it’s no competition.

          • I dunno, the people running things now have decades of exp. and where is that getting us?

        • “Cometh the hour, cometh the man.”

          I hope this is correct but I imagine the European security services will simply murder or falsely imprison such a man before he can become too dangerous. The whole system is rigged to defend the worst aspects of itself at any cost.

          Commentors here recently pointed me to materials covering the Dutroux Affair – that horrific story made it clear just how vile and ruthless the real rulers are.

      • Precisely – it’s ALL theater. No one who chooses a career in electoral politics is legit.

      • Hasn’t the governing Social Democratic party been able to undermine the anti-immigration parties by becoming much less immigration friendly itself? Did the success of the DPP have a role in that? Germany recently announced “border controls,” (mostly useless, I know) because of the success of the AfD and BSW. Can anti-immigrant parties at least influenced other parties in the direction of greater immigration restrictions, even if they are not in the government?

        • Hasn’t the governing Social Democratic party been able to undermine the anti-immigration parties by becoming much less immigration friendly itself

          So they want the voters to think: they talk tough on “islamists” and “illegals” and “criminals” and “failed integration” and “spousal abuse” and “forced marriages” and “Danish values”, but they never suggest we even lower the immigration rates, in fact they never talk about demographic numbers at all.

          During Mette Frederiksen’s reign, the curve for residency permits has not budged in the slightest: they take in less asylum seekers and chain migrants, but have thrown open the gates for international “students”.

          Swings and roundabouts.

          • Kind of depressing, since my daughter and son-in-law plan to relocate to Denmark next year and my wife and I will likely follow. But we’re coming from Germany and France respectively, where the situation is even worse.

    • If the SPD forms a coalition with BSW in Brandenburg, I guess we’ll get a look at how the BSW behaves when it’s in a position to at least participate in a government.

    • But but but . . . Jared Taylor is sure she’s legit and is happy to make common cause with her.

18. The mask coming off is the theme. A little push back forces our rulers to reveal themselves.

    Trump unmasked the GOP as nothing but the Washington Generals of politics. The Oct. 7 protest unmasked American Jewish control of academia and politics. The war in Gaza unmasked the Israelis. The pushback in Europe is unmasking their leadership as nothing more than shills for GAE.

    The world is waking up to the reality of the West. It’s why most of the world wants to break away. Now, you’re seeing that same feeling inside the West. And once the mask comes off, it’s hard to put it back on and pretend.

    • The Washington Generals analogy is 💯!

      • But the Generals did win one game!

    • All true, but they aren’t even bothering with the mask at this point. Americans fully realize they live in a garbage tier dictatorship now, for example, and the Regime just ignores their awareness and continues to go on as before. Material comfort is staving off any actual resistance, so why be worried?

      • True. The make-up of the Biden cabinet was the coming out party. Now, we have Harris, who literally nobody believes would be in charge. No one is hiding anything anymore.

      • Yes, sadly, it appears only a massive market crash will get the fatass suburban normies off their couches.

        • If the problem is the “fatass suburban normies”, a market crash won’t faze them. For the most part, their net worth is entirely equity in their homes. Why should they care if Berkshire-Hathaway takes a dive?

          But when housing values drop…

          • The more likely scenario is going to be property confiscation, not a crash. “Hey, you’ve got 5 acres just outside city limits. Here’s 37 Haitians you must allow to homestead on your land.” If you fight back, they arrest you and take the land and auction it to Blackrock.

            Taxing “unrealized capital gains” is just another way to confiscate property based on some bureaucrat’s definition of value. Not far behind: massive government over valuation of real estate to steal more money.

            I don’t think we’re as far from property confiscation – targeting bad-thinkers especially – as people might think.

          • Yep. And if the problem is the “fatass suburban normies” why would your first scenario get a rise out of them? The Haitians aren’t being dumped in their back yards.

          • Matt Bracken’s trilogy is a great example of how it could be done. Chilling, but great.

            Enemies Foreign and Domestic

          • Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Bracken’s world, diverse people of all races come together to fight for “freedom,” right?

            If so, that is silly. Only a subset of white men are stirred by talk of “freedom” and almost no one else.

          • No, they are just the managed shock troops of DC. They are not out for freedom, but “take from whitey” and “do whatever you want to whitey” with the protection and blessing of government.

          • Bracken seems to be slowly coming around to race realism. But yes, there seems to be a deep civnat vein in many former military writers and preppers.

          • Yep, but Bracken and several other important figures on our side have yet to realize that in what’s coming, your skin color will be your uniform….

          • Bracken, lately, is talking a lot about the migrants as an invading force that will be armed. With virtually every tweet, he says, “first the traitors, then the invaders.”

          • “Yep, but Bracken and several other important figures on our side have yet to realize that in what’s coming, your skin color will be your uniform….”

            In 2012, he wrote of the upcoming spiciness, “Some locales will divide upon religious or political lines, but they will not be the dominant factors contributing to conflict. In the American context, the divisions will primarily have an ethnic or racial context.”

            True, he considered that unfortunate, but “reality is reality”.

            When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities Will Explode In Violence

          • Meh.

            Give me Covington’s Brigade or “Freedom’s Sons,” (which I recall that you have read…

            I’ve been trying to read Bracken for years but I can’t get past the naiveté

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PXPKF1YQ1U

          • Fair enough. I very much liked Covington, but I can’t read him anymore because his scenarios are now almost impossible in the age of the panopticon. He wrote before tech surveillance was everywhere.

          • As a recovering civ nat myself that is some serious conditioning to work through

          • Especially when the military beat it into you.

          • Yea lost a lot of that crowd when I started pushing that we need our own White Homeland…

          • I think he’s at least a partial race realist. I read his most recent book “Doomsday Reef” and the South Carolina survivalist community where the story begins is 90+% White was a smattering of well-behaved Hispanics, no Blacks allowed. The protagonists fight off bloodthirsty Haitian pirates and trade with corrupt Jamaicans, the most Christian of which are portrayed sympathetically.

          • It’s hard to say. I may be too pessimistic and I’m happy to be proven wrong.

            Nonetheless, I will put down this stake by stating that the kids or grandkids of Braken’s “well-behaved Hispanics” will be aggitating for Azlan reconquista.

          • This X 1,000. It is covertly happening now, and will be explicit soon enough. Civil forfeiture will be expanded to thought crimes.

          • “Not far behind: massive government over valuation of real estate to steal more money.”

            This is ALREADY reality where I live. And the most obnoxious, disgusting townies work for the … town.

        • Suburban “fatass” normies will never ever be part of the solution. Really, they are part of the problem. Black Lives Matter signs are far more prevalent in the burbs than they are even in the hood.

    • The aliens are not “immigrants”. I get so tired hearing the misuse of this word. If they are not here (or anywhere) legally they are illegal aliens

      • No, they are invaders. An army of population replacement. And yes, this includes the black/brown/yellow ‘children’ too.

        • They can’t be invaders if TPTB let them in…they are pawns or cattle for the liberal world

          • Disagree. That some traitors opened the city gates to the besieging barbarians does not mean they are no longer invaders.

          • That some traitors opened the city gates to the besieging barbarians 

            Odd how history repeats.

          • They may be intended as pawns but they still have plenty of agency (and hatred for/envy of White people and nations).

        • Interacted with 3 of these Fine New Muricans just this morning on a short trip. One young male F.N.M. was walking loconically, wrong side of narrow road … another F.N.M. comes screaming around curve, older car, out of state plates… #1 leaps out of the way at the last moment, up onto a steep roadside bank. #2 motors on, no sign of slowing down.

          Less than a mile later, same curvy road, another F.N.M. comes over a blind, curvy hill, big pickup towing the now ubiquitous lawnmower on trailer. Half in my lane, I swerve, then juke back onto road, to miss raised storm sewer curb, would have taken out my front end or worse.

          F.N.M. #3 just wheels by, no apparent notice of my existence.

          • Yeah, I saw two the other day at our lone grocery store when I went into town (pop 1400). They saw me glaring at them – unfortunately that’s all I can do for now. I also saw a local White woman with her mulatto daughter. It disgusts me, but it’s literally everywhere now. They haven’t moved out to where we live yet, but I know it’s only a matter of time (and money).

          • If the black guy leaves her, she’ll never get a white guy.

          • When. When he leaves.

      • Yep, we need to not fall into the Leftist trap of using their (changed) terminology for describing their malfeasance. IA’s melding into immigrants. IA’s children being described as “dreamers”. As Orwell understood almost a century ago, if you define the terminology of the argument, you inevitably win the argument.

        • Anyone who accuses anyone else of “racism” is evil and an enemy

      • They are brought here to push whites into minority status. Simple as that. That’s the entire plan. Always was from our real rulers. Now, a lot of stupid white business owners wanted the cheap labor. A lot of white women wanted to feel morally superior. But one group always wanted to make whites a minority.

        • You know who else wanted cheap labor? Southern plantation owners. There has always been a subset of powerful whites whose rank greed runs roughshod over any loyalty they may have for their own people.

      • Unfortunately, many of them are here legally. They have been imported by the ruling Pit Fiends to torment whitey. In a sense, they’re cultural mercenaries.

        • I don’t think that is true. TPS has very specific requirements, most of which do not apply to the Haitians.

          The fact that the Biden administration broke the law in granting TPS does not make the declaration “legal”.

          See, for instance, Temporary Protected Status (TPS): Who Is Eligible? | Nolo

          • “TPS has very specific requirements, most of which do not apply to the Haitians.”

            Words on paper, like the Constitution, don’t enforce themselves. Specific people interpret and enforce the words, or choose not to enforce them.

            Like Hunter’s laptop and its obviously illegal content weren’t pursued because specific people chose not to.

            The “dreamers” were illegal until Obama said that they were legal.

          • Absolutely.

            But just as with discussion about the semantics of immigrant and invader, it’s not a good idea to cede the idea that they are here illegally.

          • Don’t confuse morality with jurisprudence. An act may be entirely legal and simultaneously morally repulsive. The mass importation of savages falls into this category.

          • That’s the distinction between “lawful” and “legal.” I’m just pointing out that this is neither lawful nor legal, as it violates the letter of the legislation.

            What Biden(?) did was both unlawful and illegal.

    • I don’t think the current system will ever regain legitimacy. But they might not go peacefully either. And unlike Brezhnev they have been so kind as to fill up the West with the third world.

    • The mask coming off is the theme … The world is waking up to the reality of the West … And once the mask comes off, it’s hard to put it back on and pretend.

      I have thought over the past four years that the media, security services, color revolutionaries, and voter fraudsters massively overplaying their hand in the 2020 election, and then the Democratic party showing for four years of the Biden regime that the only things that they are good at are lies, hatred, and violence (i.e. not economics and actual governance), that one silver lining to it would be that the 2024 election will be a blowout for Trump. But it looks like there are tens of millions of Americans that hate the chuds so much that they are backing the GAE with its mask off just as much as they did with it on.

      • The average Democrat voter is very, very far “left” of the party when it comes to anti-whiteness, child sexual mutilation, televised post-birth abortion—and especially re: censorship, stealing elections, political persecutions, etc.

        The “mask coming off” is the party becoming representative.

        • I have heard it said that the politicians of both the Democratic and Republicans are to the left of their voters, and, from many of the Dem voters that I know, that does seem to me to be the case.

    • Given the libertarian backgrounds a lot of us have, has anyone seen the mask dropping of Walter Block? He’s mister peacenik right up to the moment it involves his people. Then it’s genocide all the way.

      • They are very adept with language and myth-making. But they hate us.

        Guys like Derb and Jared imagine what our peoples could accomplish if we combined our forces. But they hate us.

        But they hate us. Let it sink in…

    • If Harris wins, expect the Brown Scare to be turned up even higher.

19. For Sweden to go from self-declared Humanitarian Superpower to paying foreigners to leave in such a short period of time is remarkable and very whitepilling. Maybe it’s true that the white man is the most generous and welcoming…until he’s not.

    • But the immivaders don’t want the payoff – they want a wealthy, orderly White society to rape and pillage. When Sweden starts forcible mass deportations, let me know. Until then it’s just posturing and theater to soothe the natives.

      • Yes, it’s a publicity stunt. A few handful will go home: a few bits of meat they can throw to the malcontents, dog treats.

        • You must, at least, apply “carrot and stick”. Here we used to call it, “souring the milk”. You must make life unbearable to those “immigrants” that do not conform to the norms of the prevailing society.

          So for example, you cut off welfare immediately for those who are non-citizens. You immediately deport all noncitizens who are convicted of a crime, or for that matter simple “vagrancy”. So on and so forth.

          The voluntary deportation payments are not made to such people, so they run a risk with staying. You can also use a schedule of diminishing payments to further encourage self deportation.

          This used to be the norm here in the States after the war when my father immigrated. You didn’t even get a resident VISA without a job offer *prior* to arrival. All “resident aliens” had to reregister *every single year*. Any criminal conviction risked deportation. There was no welfare given—that’s why you have a sponsor, either a relative or an organization.

        • The problem with the publicity stunt is it makes a discussion of sending them all home – without payment – allowed. The water is spilling over the dam.

          • Indeed. The Overton window, until very recently a minute aperture, now looks like the Grand Canyon. And in the most unlikely of places at that. I can well imagine that, if one mooted the idea of paying the savages to go home 10 years ago in Sweden, one would have been subject to litigation. Now it’s a government program, by gawd! That is nothing short of remarkable.

          • I suspect the “Overton Window” is why we are seeing the adoption and increase of “hate speech” prohibition laws/regulations on social media platforms. The EU and especially GB are ahead of us (USA), but we are catching up. A Harris term in the White House should allow us to codify what we’ve lost (censorship) through voluntary coercion recently.

          • True. But it’s hard to censor and suppress the Swedish gubmint.

        • Likely. Most likely. The litmus test is the next set of rapes and murders against the Europeans. The Europeans need to get organized and do some disciplined mass gatherings. The invaders have effectively conquered the territory since only they mass gather, which is a threat of political violence.

          The Europeans need to mass gather and prepare the posters, digital reels and placcards that show all of the rape, murder and drug addict victims and the criminal elements responsible. I think another propaganda they should ready and deploy are signs that show the conquered territory they inhabit. This includes their cities and towns where they are the minority and the “NoGo Zones” that are effectively fully conquered and colonized territory.

          The accuracy of the words used in the propaganda needs to increase. The JQ can be addressed but it is a lower priority than a mass promotion of the truth of colonization/loss-of-territory/habitat and predation, (2 of the 4 factors of species extinction). This propaganda shows the total failure of the Ruling Regime and the scale and levels of malevolence of we should henceforth call The Great Crime.

          I saw footage last week of a young and absolutely gorgeous Norwegian woman. She walked through her town and saw, “Kill The Whites”, graffiti on a gorgeuous classic Norwegian building. She complained to the authorities who would not arrest the perpetrators for incitement and hate crimes. They charged a misdemeanor. She was livid and researched the relevant legal statutes. She found out that Norwegians are second class citizens who are liable for “hate crimes” and harsh punishment while the invading colonists are legally privileged and treated as mere petty vandals.

          Of course that revelation sparked in her the perfectly normal and healthy rage one feels when they find these things out. She is a “normie” who is now making the rounds on more widely viewed streams.

          This is going to happen all over Europe. The crisis is existential and the crime is as evil as a crime can be.

          We are in a worse situation in America. For now, MAGA and the well meaning but empty patriotic gestures of pre-MAGA GAE are a relief valve. No matter the outcome of the election, the crime against us is farther along in its perpetration.

          The periphery is feeing shockwaves. At the same time, right at the very heart of the Nation that built the empire before being cast aside once their use was not wanted more shockwaves are building up.

          All across The West a storm is gathering. We must use our minds and long term planning and organizational skills to harness and focus its energies.

          • Yes but if you even bring it up at conferences like Amren or America First they look at you like a leper so until people are directly affected by it, like the people in Springfield there will be no willpower to do so… It’s pulling teeth to get people to even meet up for coffee on this side of the divide… Everyone is scared of their own shadow…

    • Sweden is omitting an essential step. Paying them to leave cost nothing, quite the contrary, it’s a large saving because they are already paying them to stay just as we are supporting illegals here, plus you are no longer paying for their future population explosion. So you tell them their next check will only be available when they board the airplane out of country and will continue for a time only so long as they are back in their holes.

20. What’s most interesting about the AfD’s recent success is its strength among the youth, especially young men. This bodes well for the future. That said, German politics is in utter turmoil. What’s shocking is that the SPD’s careful cultivation of Russian relations – a hallmark of the SPD since Willy Brandt, continued all the way through reunification and Gerhard Schroder – has been chucked in favor of Globohomo. We’re watching decades happen in years in Germany. Its chaos will have profound impact on the rest of Europe.

21. Black pill time. Unfortunately I think all this hoping and awakening is moot. Europe is lost. Immigrants (I don’t call them “invaders” because they were invited in) are more fecund, more resourceful, and more chauvinistic than the native populations. The few and proud native Europeans (God bless them) are not enough, and even if they got the spirit of Arminius en masse, they would have to do something that even the most hard-hearted dissident shitposter can’t do: locate all the brown and black skinned people, and force them into vans and trains and planes and get them out.

    The immigrants like white society so much that even Swedish remigrationbux aren’t changing their minds. The only way to preserve the continent’s demographics as it was pre-1970s is to commit to horrible house-to-house evictions. And that would require absolute determination and resolve and a complete lack of sympathy for those involved in doing it. Even the most racist country on the planet, Israel, has a hard time finishing the job.

    There is no solution beyond encouraging whites to have babies and inculcating the next generation about the terrible regimes that wrecked their homelands.

    • How much will immigrants like White society when the spigot of gibsmedats is turned off?

      • A good guess is the Regime plans to more aggressively strip mine indigenous Europeans and Heritage settler populations to stave off the anger of gibsmedat “migrants.”

        • Yup.

          Get ready for 99% tax rates on anyone making over 10k euro and -20% interest rates to loot savings accounts.

        • And as for crypto, if the grid stays up, they will just shut down all the online exchanges and force the ISPs to block all packets with signatures that show characteristics close to the major crypto currencies. High profile examples will be made of resisters.

          The same thing will happen with the bullion crowd. You’ll see a few high-profile examples made of resisters that end in 50 year prison sentences or violent death.

          The controlled media will smear the examples every which way and insist they could still be living happy lives if they’d swapped their bullion for CBDC.

          • Re: crypto, mesh nets will pop up in days. Like the Hezbollah pager thing, locking down the ISPs will result in a change of protocol, that’s all.

      • A White society – even without generous gibs – is STILL a million times more stable and comfortable than their homelands. And the pickings are easy. They aren’t willingly going anywhere. And watch the news for headlines about ‘murkans (brown people with magic papers) desperate to leave Lebanon. And meanwhile half of Israel already lives here, and subcons are pouring over the Canadian border.

        • So maybe before the next round of Obama-phones go out, we ask Mossad for some advice?

          • and this plan comes with 5GB of data with rollover, unlimited talk and text, 53 grams of PETN and a free detonator. Next of kin are not eligible to receive rollover data.

      • This is perhaps the only real reason for hope. Most Western nations are too gutless to do the brutal work that needs to be done (at least so far). They might, however, be willing to pull the plug on the gibs and make it difficult for the migrants to find work. Once that happens, Sweden, Germany, most of the US, even France, are just places to freeze and starve to death in. The migrants also know their home terrain. They know how to scrape by in poverty there, and above all, they know they won’t freeze to death.

        A lot of our migrant problems will self deport once the system doesn’t reward their behavior. Once they start leaving it also becomes easier to get rid of the remaining ones.

        • Instead, they are pulling the plug on their own, denying old folks heating subsidies in the UK. So, they will freeze their own old people to death before making their foreign replacements even think of having to turn their fully subsidized thermostat down a degree.

    • I completely agree. To be fair, I realize hope, far off like a distant horn, motivates our fine host, Z. I appreciate his content (I am a Green Door lurid voyeur), and I recognize that optimism generally motivates more than pessimism (Schopenhauer excepted), so I try to avoid posting blackpills every day. But our youth just do not have this in them. Not even close. And, they have been corrupted by the influx more than I believe most realize. The future is dark (literally and figuratively).

      • our youth just do not have this in them

        They are the ones resisting, particularly in Europe. Whether that will matter is another thing.

        • How are they resisting? I’m not being a smartass, by the way. Voting for a party does not equal resistance, in my book.

          • It starts with voting and realizing the futility.

        • It is the young males that realize they’ve been sold a sh*t sandwich. But what do they have to fight for? Their women have abandoned them and sided with the enemy. The old motivators of defending hearth and home no longer apply.

          • True and that was the goal of dispossession, but revenge and anger also are tried and true motivators.

          • Not just a shit sandwich, just a few days ago a guy applied to 100 jobs. Once as a man and once as a women. He was asked in for an interview 9 times more as a women. From my own corporate working exp. i will say that about matches my exp. The guy yesterday who asked “Awww shucks why you so down on women?” Because they know they’re being given unjustified advantages, know its wrong, and lap it up and drown in you in man hate in the process. Ten years ago i’d say it was a fair bet they’re unaware, they know they have that advantage now and they exploit it to its full potential.

          • Not denying your anecdote, but what was the job qualifications being asked for? For example, a woman applying for an engineering job is rare as can be expected and I’d suspect normally would garner more interviews.

            Also interviews are not offers. Back when I interviewed folk, we were tasked by HR to explain why we had not interviewed more of the traditional “underserved” (read Minority) population. We were less beat up about rejections however as that was still left to our judgement as content experts in the field.

          • I saw this with Indian owned consulting firms. They’ll besiege a White guy like me with calls but I have never once gotten an interview from one of those places. White-owned firms, yes. The Indians are only interested in placing their own and need to have natives like me in their database as cover for their shenanigans.

          • “were tasked by HR”

            This is the problem right here.

          • Why fault them for that? If HR offered you a similar advantage over others, wouldn’t you take it? Why isn’t your anger focused on HR? They are the ones pulling this sh*t.

          • Because that just continues the cycle of hate and division. Being a good person is not taking undue advantages.

          • What is an “undue” advantage? I have a crapton of advantages that my grandparents did not. It’s not popular to say, but my kids have advantages I did not have.

            It was not one’s fault if he was born into a society which had fewer advantages. Is that “undue”?

          • Steve comes here to read about everything failing, and just provided an answer unwittingly. Yes corruption and nepotism will always be with us, but it shouldn’t be celebrated. You lead by example, by not taking undue advantages.

          • responded to you twice, seems zman doesn’t like what i’m saying. You don’t lead by doing what everyone else is doing. You lead by example, and when given undue advantages should reject them. Set the example. We come here because everything is failing, but we never look at how we ourselves contribute to it. If you accept corruption, that is what you’re going to get. Corruption and nepotism will always be with us, but it shouldn’t be celebrated.

          • Simple solution. Run your own company. As you said, lead by example.

            Now I don’t mean quit your day job, but there’s no reason you can’t get a side-hustle or even a company going in your off-hours.

            And more cash doesn’t hurt when looking for female companionship. The best of them will insist that you be capable of providing for her kids to the degree she wants.

          • “The best of them will insist that you be capable of providing for her kids to the degree she wants.”

            Let them marry the government then, hypergamy even transcends actual human beings! 😉

          • So, that’s it? Just give up rather than even try?

          • Try what? What are you getting at? Continue to bang your head against a brick wall expecting it to fall? You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.

            “Faced as we are with this destiny, there is only one world outlook that is worthy of us, that which has already been mentioned as the Choice of Achilles — better a short life, full of deeds and glory, than a long life without content. Already the danger is so great, for every individual, every class, every people, that to cherish any illusion whatever is deplorable. Time does not suffer itself to be halted; there is no question of prudent retreat or wise renunciation. Only dreamers believe that there is a way out. Optimism is cowardice.

            We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honourable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.”

            — Oswald Spengler, Man and Technics, Knopf, 1932

          • And one final point: What is the gender that predominately works in HR?

          • I don’t have an HR department, but obviously as constituted, it’s a job that would only appeal to females or soys.

          • My beef with HR was never the composition of the staff, but of the knowledge of the organization. It was almost an instant adversarial relationship as I recall.

            One example: HR was fond of redoing job descriptions every few years—except they knew little of the positions they were describing/redoing. Anything beyond a menial employee position, i.e., a professional employee, seemed beyond their understanding. However, the university insisted everyone assume some officially described HR position to be employed/hired.

            One year—this was very long ago—they passed by me a revised description of their *new* family of Computer Programmers, or Software Engineers, if you prefer that title. Well, the minimal experience required was a BS in Computer Science, *and* 10 years previous work experience.

            I got the (female) Head of HR on the phone to discuss such a new employment “family”. Basically I asked her what she knew about Computer Science and formal degrees in that area and that the university *itself* had no Computer Science department 10 years or so ago!

            In short, HR had devised a job description that the majority of the candidate population could not meet and perhaps even those currently employed by the university. The fix was easy however, as we simply changed the experience/education requirements to “…any combination of education and work experience deemed acceptable…”

            But really, how did HR ever help me fill a position? Can’t think of a single instance.

          • Fair point. But who runs HR?

          • This was written in 2014, and the best summation of our current decline and what will happen when we finally fall. I highly recommend people give it a read:

            https://deflationland.blogspot.com/2014/03/currency-collapse-is-agency-of-reform.html

          • I know this is your source of hope, but it’s not imminent. The graph has not held up very well. Try to draw similar lines on the current data:

            ^TNX Interactive Stock Chart | CBOE Interest Rate 10 Year T No Stock – Yahoo Finance

            It’s back to 1965 levels.

          • I’ve been tempted to try this. Just submit the exact same resume for the same type of jobs with my name and a female name. After over 1000 applications I’ve given up hope of finding an actual job. This is the tech industry which suffers from a perfect storm of mass layoffs and a cultish pursuit of diversity at all costs. The empty headed xirls and browns they hire don’t do a good job but I really despise the whole industry now and wish it every possible calamity.

          • Tech is now a mature industry. I think the only reason its grown to the extent it has, is because its existed in an environment of low interest rates and money printing. We had 5% interest rates for a freaking year, and look at all the layoffs in tech! As rates go down pozymandias (which i think is the exact opposite of what should be happening) you’ll have better luck finding a job. I’ve come to the conclusion that any industry that relies on government money will be woke, and any industry that relies on cheap loans (also due to the government) will be woke. Back in the 90’s when i got into computers, the majority of the progamming and games were made by people who really wanted to create a good product. Now it feels like all the rejects from the art institute with graphic design degrees were given jobs because the government said so and ruin everything.

          • When Gen Z males “man up” the females will follow. Women despise weakness, they just can’t consciously admit that.

          • They like strength, but only if they can “tame” (make you do their bidding) it. That is what i’ve come to find via life. Also i find they aren’t very good judges of strength of character. They prefer strength in numbers, hiding in the herd.

          • That’s a test. They are probing for weakness.

            How’s the old saying go, “Women marry men hoping they will change, men marry women hoping they never do.”

          • you know what i want to do all my life in dating steve? Be tested by women who couldn’t hold a candle to their grandmothers and listen to their stupid political views, which would be the same as listening to Rachael maddow. Talking to you about dating is like talking to my boomer dad who’s been with the same women since junior high. Women haven’t changed per se, just the rules we make them abide by. They’re miserable, and they’re making everyone else miserable. Dating shouldn’t feel like a job, here’s my resume karen! Hope i make the cut, my lady! They aren’t the prize anymore, more like a liability. Call me cynical, but i came of age with the dot com crash, 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan, all lies by my “betters”! The 08 crisis, more lies, covid, more lies, but ya know just try harder. Vote harder! You aren’t going to vote women out of this state of mind, and you aren’t going to vote yourself out of the state of the country. Collapse is the cure

          • That’s probably why you are friend zoned. You are filling the role of friend, not date. You are angry and resentful because you are doing all the things you were told women wanted, and can’t understand why it isn’t working. Psst. It’s because it wasn’t true.

            You don’t want a Rachel Maddow type anyway.

          • Plenty of men have ‘manned up.’ Too many of the women are deeply dysfunctional and genuinely hate traditional, innate masculinity as ‘toxic.’ I don’t have any answers and don’t pretend to. Marrying various brown/yellow women is no solution, however, and I see far too much of that. No, I am not an optimist.

          • Chicken/eggs. The women follow after the manning up and a few wins on the board. Half of that has happened or is happening.

          • Women have been traitorous whores for millennia. This isn’t the first time a nation has been conquered with the help of its women and male traitors. The results are very dark for the remaining good men but at some point they realize they really haven’t got much to lose. They don’t need to keep on cuckin’ to impress the women that have abandoned them. This is when the knives come out and the black flag is hoisted. This is one of every society’s self-correction mechanisms.

        • They are the ones who have grown up with and know quite well the behavior of the immigrants, but more so they know the behavior of the adults who were supposed to protect them but instead let them be preyed upon and then blamed them for it.

      • I generally like to point out silver linings myself, and to despair is a sin. But if all the European nationalists win big in the next 5 years, do they take their platform to the ugly logical conclusion? Or do they do what the abortion-obsessed do in this country, keeping a moral issue from actually being solved just so they can get donorbux and a chance to be righteous on TV?

    • Blacks and browns are not built by evolution to survive the brutally cold winters of our ancestors. Take down the national infrastructure for electricity/heating and they will either leave or die. Yes, its a harsh solution, but effective nonetheless. And if they choose to stay and fight, they will soon learn that winter warfare favors the Slav. The White Death is a real thing.

      • I did not consider that. That is an excellent idea. To assure victory, without being inhumane, I would also put forth legislation declaring all non-Euro foods HARAM so if the immigrants wanted to stay, they’d have to bundle up AND be forced to eat pork cutlets, pirogies, cabbages and sausages WITHOUT anything more than pepper and salt.

        That would at least drive them down to the Mediterranean. Then the Italians/Greeks/Spaniards would have think of their own repellents.

      • But right now they’re doing just fine in Maine and Minnesota and Sweden and even Iceland. I’m all for taking away their gibs and heat and electricity – but the there will be an outcry on behalf of the cold, hungry alien chirren. White women literally lavish more love and care on dogs and blacks than they do their own kids (if they even have them, which is becoming more rare every year).

        • “…there will be an outcry on behalf of the cold, hungry alien chirren.”

          Good. Makes it easier to figure out who goes on the list. Thinking about it, maybe move them to the front of the line of whatever solution is chosen. The fewer social justice harridans, the better.

      • Based on my own observations of blacks and browns in Chicago, Michigan and Alaska, I must respectfully disagree. They are quite capable of surviving cold, harsh winters without much infrastructure or the aid of whites. Unfortunately. They may chop up the furniture or rooms, perhaps yours or mine, but most will find a way to stick around and torment us.

        • Then why aren’t there historically black cities in Scandinavia, Germany, or Siberia?

        • This is true. So I suspect that what keeps the immigrant around is 1) language help and 2) access to their foodways. Force English-only and bland food upon them, and they will have no choice but to leave white society for access to their Asian apps and street slop.

        • Somalians in Minnesota and Maine is a prime example showing that the weather doesn’t matter to them.

          • You have to cut those Minnesotans some slack, though. They were told the refugees were a bunch of Sommeliers…

          • I’ve heard that Chateau Ooogabooga, vinted just north of Mogadishu, is an utterly charming wine…

          • I can’t believe I just upvoted a Steve post. There’s a first for everything!

        • They’re getting plenty of infrastructure and aid from whites. Without it, they would die en masse.

    • Dont worry about us. We just need to get rid of our USA problem first.

22. “Mass immigration is war” Martin Van Creveldt…But now the European patsies are starting to notice that the place is being run entirely for the benefit of 3d world invaders, and not at all for the tax paying citizens, who can be robbed, raped, and/or murdered pretty much with impunity…
    History reveals that this ends with one side or the other being wiped out, or pushed out….

23. For those on the imperial fringes the thing to keep in mind is that The Empire will do it’s best to kill off the Euro (and the Yen) to buy time for the dollar (this is different from 2008 where the financial elites were “stick together or swing separately).

    • Think of the system like a body, when the body gets hypothermia what does it do? It reduces blood flow to the extremities and keeps it pumping to the heart. The euro is like our right arm, we’ll cut it off before we give up empire.

24. There’s still some energy in Sacred Europe. When they free themselves, they will free us.

    • In my experience, the lunacy of the open society never really took hold in Europe. You see some of it with middle-aged women, for sure, but they are just aping what they see in American media. As a result, I think it will be much easier for their local political class to abandon immigration. Brussels is another matter, but at some point someone will paraphrase Stalin and ask how many divisions does Ursula von der Leyen control?

      • how many divisions does Ursula von der Leyen control

        All of those in the Empire, to use “control” a bit loosely. D.C. is not about to allow, say, the Netherlands to ever go rogue without aping the Soviet response to the Gdansk Shipyards. It already goes full Color Revolution on even a mild dissident like Orban in a relatively unimportant country on the periphery. It is the ugly reality of an Empire in rapid and steep decline. If the murder of Daria Dugin didn’t make you sick to your stomach, tanks rolling in the streets of Amsterdam to put down parents outraged over the rape of their children will. And that’s exactly where this is going right now.

        • Did she need divisions to force them all to take the shot she negotiated in secret via text message? An epiphany i had a few days back, we’ve all been domesticated. Like a wild horse who was broken and now won’t leave the pen even if you leave the gate open. Those who haven’t been domesticated refused the shot, job be damned.

          • No, but if there had been a mass uprising she had the divisions at her disposal. As it turned out, people were perfectly willing to bare their arms.

          • “perfectly willing to bare their arms.”

            That’s why I hate homonyms. “No, no, no. Bear arms.”

          • I would suggest you don’t learn Chinese

          • @ Mr. House Domesticated? Most probably. But remember: it only takes one generation for escaped pigs to become feral. Return to Monke is one massive recession away.

        • When our guys were acting tough on the internet in 2021, calling Trump a gay Jew for failing to “cross the Rubicon,” a common rhetorical question was “How many divisions does Pelosi have?”

          The answer, of course, was “all of them.” All of them in the world. True too of Ursula, Starmer, etc.

          This fact being invisible to our guys, not only to the feds and queers and queer feds of the “alt right” but to our real guys, is why there’s no hope.

          There can be hope, but it starts with a clear view of the present—in which our war is in the past, lost, and we are conquered, occupied, and cornered.

          • Agreed, obviously. Reality cannot be dismissed as a black pill. There won’t be a deus ex machina. Opportunities very well may present in the interim, but otherwise it is long-term struggle against bad odds. That’s far less attractive than LARPing as a Centurion but a necessary reality check.

      • The people who call the shots in Europe are the EU commission and they are not elected so even more isolated from the plebes than Congress. They could turn off immigration tomorrow. They don’t want to, that’s the problem

        • If that’s the case, the EU is more independent than the Congress. I doubt it would be allowed to do anything substantive about the invasion unless for some unlikely reason its actual bosses made the decision to allow it.

          • Fair point, I was talking about the official, not actual system. And there the EU commission certainly is more independent from voters than Congress is. But then there’s the real world. And there are peoply in places like New York, London (not 10 downing street) and Schweitzerland whose call they always take.

    • The catalyst could be the fall of Ukraine. All the Azov types would have to flee westwards to avoid falling into Russian hands (similar to their Ukrainian SS grandfathers). Now the neutered, so-called “far right” in Europe would have battle-hardened, fanatical and experienced leaders equipped with all the latest shiny American weaponry and boatloads of Zelenskyybucks to boot. Blowback à la Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan time for the GAE.
