The Signs Of The Next Times

One of the weird things about how the American empire operates is that there is a long waiting period between the presidential election and the installation of the winner, if the winner is not the incumbent. In most countries with elections, the transition happens within a week or two of the election. In America, the new president has months to wait for his turn at the wheel and the outgoing administration has months to do their worst, often with the goal of hobbling the next president.

The latter was on full display after the 2016 election. The last months of the Obama administration were used to set up the Russian collusion hoax, along with other schemes to prevent a smooth transition. The Trump administration was crippled right out of the gate, forced to go through the absurd theater of a special counsel to investigate what everyone knew was a political dirty trick. Between November and January, the fate of the Trump administration was sealed.

That is something to keep in mind this time. Like 2016, the political class was sure they had fended off the invisible army of orange Hitlers, only to find that their blue wall had crumbled once again. Unlike 2016 there was no way for them to claim it was fraudulent or illegitimate, since the results were conclusive. This may explain the relative quiet this time compared to 2016. By the standards of presidential elections, this was a trouncing in both the electoral college and popular vote.

It is possible that the energy has run out of crazy land. People want to think the madness set in during the 2016 election, but it started way back in 2000 when the people we call the left went nuts over the Florida recount. It has been a steady decline into madness for over two decades. That is a long time to sit in the pumpkin patch waiting for the conspiracy theories to be proven true. Perhaps they got tired of waiting and are making their way back to the fringes of sanity.

It is impossible to know, primarily because it is impossible for the non-ideological to understand the mind of an ideologue. The former group tends to the practical, while the latter tends to the fanciful. Most people think half a loaf is better than no loaf, while the ideologues look at such a compromise as a conspiracy against the tides of history and a justification for violence. It is why normal people are always surprised by how the ideologues react to events.

The best we can do is look for clues around the issues of the day. Project Ukraine, for example, has been central to the usual suspects for a decade. Trump is no fan of this project, and he is no fan of Ukraine. People tend to forget that Ukraine was central to his first impeachment. The people responsible for Project Ukraine are the main players in the anti-Trump stuff going back to 2016. They are also something like a drug-resistant virus that never stops trying to kill the host.

At the moment, what we are getting is the usual stuff from the usual suspects laundered in regime media as news and analysis. This Wall Street Journal story tries to frame the Trump plan as a choice between Russia surrendering or Russia giving Ukraine time to regroup and restart the war after Trump. This is the same narrative they have been shopping in one form or another for a year. In other words, the usual suspects may not have a scheme ready for Trump 2.0.

Another place to look for clues is in the antiwhite subculture. They have been weirdly muted for the past year. One reason is the backlash to DEI that took down a few prominent people. These were financed by members of the economic elite, which might mean money is drying up for the antiwhite bigots. This tweet from New York Times rage head Ida Bae Wells reads like a resignation letter. In 2016 these bigots were enraged by Trump winning, but this time they are despondent.

The antiwhite race rackets are worth billions, so there is no reason to think their relative quiet this time is a sign that they are about to fold up their tents and get jobs down at the local Home Depot. It is worth noting that crying “white nationalism” has lost all its punch over the last few years. In other words, their muted response could be part of a longer downward trend or simply part of a regrouping. Like the neocons, how these people respond over the next months will provide some clues.

Another area to watch to get a sense of what is happening is the media. Crazies like Rachel Maddow were slightly less nutty this time, but other nodes on the media rage machine were strangely sober. Again, the decisive victory this time might be the issue as there is no easy bogeyman for them to blame. On the other hand, the Biden debate performance and the aftermath may have broken whatever spell had kept these people within the narrative.

It feels like a lifetime ago, but the night of the Trump – Biden debate, it was clear that the chattering skulls were stunned to see that desiccated husk of Joe Biden drooling on himself and staring into the nothingness. It is possible that there was some sort of awakening among some parts of the media. These people are sociopaths, so no one should be optimistic, but how they react over the next months will provide some clues as to what is happening behind the scenes.

There are plenty of other places to look, but the reason it feels like there is an eerie calm over the battlefield is everyone expected the orcs to keep fighting, despite the results of the election. Instead, they have retreated over the hill and are murmuring amongst themselves. The thing to accept is they never quit. They will be back, so the question is in what form will they return? What path back to perfidy will they take in the coming months to continue the fight?

To piggy back on your comment about the anti White machine slowing just a bit – I’ve noticed that at my company, we see less of this stuff. I remember getting emails about combatting hate when the Buffalo shooter thing happened, but then they stopped sending those after a number of negro shootings happened. I also noticed that our HR department has been strangely quiet during the election cycle. 4 years ago there were a lot of emails about recommended opinions. I’ve also noticed that board room promotions still have mostly Whites getting them, albeit more women unfortunately. I have… Read more »

Trump should go after university endowments, which are nothing more than printing presses used to promote Marxist indoctrination and provide a cushy support system for Marxist parasites.

These endowments also permit universities to hugely distort their local economies. Between these endowments and gov’t subsidies there is no such thing as a recession in a college town.

There is a common misperception that endowments are without rules for expenditure—this is incorrect. You can easily look these rules up. I can even list them, but it’s long, varied, and complicated. In addition, most all endowments are under supervision by a Board of Governors, here in AZ A Board of Regents. That one does not like the rate of expenditure or what expenditures are made is another story. Harvard for example has perhaps the largest endowment of all. They charge tuition because they can, no because they have too! That is a value judgement you have made. I’m not… Read more »

I know little about the specifics of endowments in academia. However, I’m far past standing on the principle of governmental non-interference in state affairs. The Left made hay by weaponizing fedgov against the states and white people. Consequently, I’m blissfully unconcerned with using that selfsame weapon as a flamethrower to incinerate academia.

The point is that it won’t incinerated academia. Most schools have modest endowments, relatively speaking. Controlling how they are spent will most likely drive donors into other outlets of contribution, which would be outside government control.

Look for how endowments in the hands of institutions are subsidized by government and remove such. That’s simply good conservative governance. Specifically directing them to be spent in specific ways I’m not sure is the answer.

We want to see—and need to see—a reëducation campaign for “white” Americops. Good lessons can be learned from heads drilled with the pension seekers’ own Glocks. I foresee also some eye sockets burned with their own zappers, wrists gouged with their own cuffs and zip ties, and night sticks broken with their own bones. Imagine also bodies being bounced by Krav Maga method.

Keep an eye on corporate TV ads moving forward, if you can stomach it. If nuggras begin to constitute less than 90 percent of the dramatis personae and the blonde woman/black buck dyad so beloved by Leftists vanishes, we will know that there has been serious retrenchment by the Power Structure.

This sort of idiocy on stilts dates at least as far back as the 90s. My favorite example is a Lee Jeans ad set in some lakeside Rocky Mountain fastness whereupon we observed a young darkie couple round the campfire strumming the ol’ Dobro and warbling some Woody Guthrie tune.

Vance, at least rhetorically, can give Our Greatest Ally the biggest tongue bath imaginable, Vatican II version rather than Fundie, but he is whip smart enough to know it has to be done whether he is onboard or not. I suspect he will be one of the loudest voices about shutting down Project Ukraine, though, and may be quietly based enough to keep Netanyahu on a tight leash.

Part of the puzzle of the Regime’s quiescence might be the realization that the Bad Orange Man, unlike last time, does not have to rely on the Vichy Right, and has a small but growing elite backing combined with a popular mandate, both missing in 2016, and might be Serious about purges to the Apparat, in which case the “Resistance” that they were so enamored of performing might carry consequences this time around besides mean Tweets.

Combine that with the rumor — which I believe — that Trump was literally a vanity candidate in 2015: Obama made fun of him at that correspondent’s dinner, and he got mad, and decided to avenge himself on the Magic Negro. The man has a dismaying ability to avoid learning in a lot of fields, but he understands revenge. If they don’t manage to roll out another shooter or five, the Dreaded Private Sector might be looming for more than a few people in the Swamp.

I thought Trump’s choosing Vance for a running mate instead of another nonentity like Pence was a hopeful sign. Sure Vance is likely to disappoint (or worse) serious dissidents at times. But he seems to express actual opinions rather than empty platitudes. I can’t say I’ve followed JDV closely during this agon, but from what I’ve seen he projects a measure of charisma. Trump 2.0 may have developed political smarts and is no longer the shoot-from-the-hip guy who relies on salesmanship, personal loyalty of his team, and tweets.

My feeling is that he is going to leave a lot of the actual governing to Vance. He’s old, he’s been fighting tooth and nail for a long time, he’s quite frankly not that good at it.

Not necessarily just elected office, either. The Left’s lawyers were so stupid their argument in favor of Obamacrap’s individual mandate would have meant it was unconstitutional. Roberts saved the day — if we call it a tax, it passes muster. Rat bastard.

Keep in mind that the propaganda apparatus of the Power Structure will always seek out conservatives who tell Leftists–and other conservatives–what the apparatus wants them to hear. They are never going to interview Lineman saying that Trump should whup the shit outta the nuggras, banish all the Messkins, and gibbet the Judeo-Puritans on lampposts.

Incidentally, we were given a window into this process in the final week of the election season.

It was clearly a pro-forma denunciation, just following the herd (and probably following orders).

Imagine you’ve got a room full of weapons. Guns, knives, poisons, compromising information, a goon squad, shyster lawyers, tons of cash, and the ability to censor and control information. Then you launch every single weapon in volleys of attacks. Your stores are emptied, and the weapons you have left are easily countered. What, exactly, are you going to attack with? That’s where Democrats are today. And in 73 days Trump is going to have full access to an unlimited weapons chest – many of the same weapons – and the ability to wipe out your shyster lawyers and goon squads.… Read more »

I’m still puzzled by the Harris/Walz ticket. As the smoke clears from the battlefield, it’s hard to imagine a more hapless campaign. Was the DNC trolling its own supporters? As with everything that happens in AINO, something smells fishy about it.

My assumption has been that the “stronger” potential VP candidates caught the stink of Loser on Harris, and didn’t want to be associated with her, and thus diminish their personal ambitions. Walz, then, was the only guy who’d come onboard—he had nothing to lose, everything to gain, and (crucially) little in the way of self respect. It’s at that point that the characters in command of the party arrogantly figured they could troll their voters, and the country, with a certifiable weirdo. After all, they were already doing it with the ho at the top of the ticket. Good riddance… Read more »

Well if that is true then you have a point. Adding the uncounted 17% to the 141 million already counted, we are dealing with almost 170 million votes. That’s suspiciously high, being nearly 50% of the country (in 2020 it was over 46%, which was by far a record). If the remaining ballots go 51% Trump, 48% Harris, our popular vote would work out to be 81.6 million for Harris, 88.4 million for Trump.

You are overlooking the fact that Trump is Israel’s candidate. He is a staunch, maybe fanatical, Zionist, and he will give Netanyahu a free hand in his genocide and Iran war plans. Harris and Walz, however, are suspected as being closet Palestinian supporters. So the Israeli lobby would not support another stolen election, like 2020, and their support of Trump led to his victory.

Regarding Iran, the Pentagon likely will let Trump know that a war with Iran isn’t a choice anymore. Iran can hit back too hard. Effectively, we’d lose. Trump doesn’t like to lose.

Trump knows how to make deals where he wins and avoids deals where he could lose – and potentially lose very badly. A war with Iran very likely could result in $120 oil and/or a US Navy ship or two burning at sea after being hit by Iranian missiles.

Near as I can see, there is nothing to be obtained through attacking Iran since we cannot occupy it, nor even go tête-à-tête with ground troops. Whenever a country is attacked, it hardens and unite the populace so it would seem regime change from Mulla’s is off the table.

What’s different now is Iran’s air defense capabilities (thanks to Russia) and its offensive missile capabilities.

The remaining waves of bombers had to turn around.

Trump is pro-Israel (as is all but maybe 3-4 elected officials in the entire United States) but he is not pro-war. He has already been president, and was the first in a very long time to NOT start any new wars.

In fact, he is probably the president LEAST likely to start a war with Iran that we have had for the last half century or more.

More on topic, the excessive waiting period between Presidents is odd.

I believe it is an oversight on the part of the Founders. All of the Founders were moral, high-trust, well-reasonrd people who had bonded through their prevails during the Revolution. Those bonds were ironclad because their options were, “win or die.”

Because of the bonds they forged, I believe that the Founders simply couldn’t imagine a time as polarized as ours, with low trust between Presidential factions that would intentionally sabotage each other.

It took time to put an administration together. It would be completely sensible to have an amendment to move the inauguration day to late November.

In the time of the Founders, there was a concept of “honor”. Indeed, men fought duals over insults to their honor. One’s word was one’s bond so to say. In any event, a person considered dishonorable was shunned and not allowed into “the club” of high status society. Sounds quaint in our day and age. As far as the wait between assuming office and election, it was even longer in those days as there was no “mass transit” and communications were via currier on horseback. ”The time between the presidential election and the inauguration was shortened with the ratification of… Read more »

One should remember that the Constitution was ratified in the 1780s, when transportation and communications were much slower. The votes had to be counted and then the electors notified and the trips arranged to Washington DC to vote. And all this in November and December at a time when the planet was just coming out of the Little Ice Age. Originally, the inauguration was in March, not January, so an outgoing administration had almost two more months in office.

News of events in their era traveled at the speed of horses, on roads which were execrable. It took a while for tabulated election results to reach Washington, where they were certified. Same for presidents-elect when they journeyed to take up their posts.

Unlike Napoleon, Trump won his Waterloo and did it in fine style.

The green hairs across the hall from me were REEE-ing last night.

Reading up on Grover Cleveland, there are some interesting parallels between him and Trump.

The most amusing coincidence is that Cleveland also married a much younger, very attractive wife. He was 47, which is also the number of Trump’s upcoming term.

Trump is now 47th to take the office, but remains the 45th person to be President as was decided with Cleveland:

”Due to this non-consecutive service, Cleveland is counted as both the 22nd and 24th president, while the total number of individual people who have served as president remains one less than the total number of presidencies.”

Confusing, huh?

The primary play for the Deep State now is to detonate the debt bomb and blame the aftermath on Trump and the Rino Congress. They would have preferred Kamala and WW3, but they’ll settle for rule by liberal judges and undermining Trump at every turn. Trump is going to have to learn to fight dirty if he wants to avoid a repeat of his first term. Does he have it in him? we’ll know withing the first 100 days.
