We Are Doomed

The show was recorded while the usual suspects were starting yet another war in the Middle East, this time with Iran. At this point it is hard to know where it leads, but we know Trump is powerless to do anything about it. It is sadly clear over the last three administrations that no White House runs foreign policy. The important decisions are made by people outside the political system.

That is why war is on the list of things that could bring doom to America. The people making these decisions are not thinking about what is best for the United States or the American people. Therefore, the United States and the American people could easily be sacrificed, deliberately or accidentally, in service to the alien cause. Civilization ending wars tend to be tragic accidents.

Even so, America is in no danger of being conquered militarily, so it is hard to see war as the direct cause of our demise. War could trigger other things, like a massive spike in oil prices that then set off a financial collapse. If Iran decides it needs a regional war and blows up Saudi oil facilities, then we could see an energy crisis. Unlike the 1970’s, an energy crisis today could trigger collapse.

That is the show for this Friday the 13th. I go through the possible end times scenarios and rank them on a scale of one to ten. A bit of a spoiler, but war is pretty far down the list of possible doomsday scenarios. It could be a triggering event that eventually leads to one of the other items on the list, but war itself is not a likely end for us. The most likely cause of our doom is, well, you will just have to listen.

I’m continually surprised at people who have rejected the propaganda on covid, the 2020 election, and all the other stuff – but completely buy into Israel being the victim while they Pearl Harbor a country they aren’t at war with. The zionist propaganda is second to none.

Very nauseating when Trump directly lies and says we were not involved in the attack. They had our satellite data and at least mid air refueling to make the attack.

Of course he lied to Putin as well when he said we were not involved in the attack on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet.

Israel and Iran have been at war since 1979. There was just no formal declaration. That is a 19th/20th Century conceit. Iran aims to destroy Israel as part of its desire to recreate the Persian Empire in Islamic Form. Iran is an expansionist power, as is Turkey also which seeks to recreate the Ottoman Empire. For its part Israel seeks to overthrow the regime or otherwise destroy it and create a large-ish buffer increase and sympathetic buffer states, understandable from their point of view given their thin territory and experience in 1974. It is also expansionist but more limited due… Read more »

It’s pretty easy to predict what will spell our doom: debt and demographics. White women march in the streets for the right to kill unborn babies rather than reproduce the white race. The white birthrate is below replacement level in every Western nation. The U.S. is also $37 trillion in debt. To put that in perspective, the national debt was only $5 trillion in 2000. Even a Trump administration and a Republican Congress cannot avoid adding trillions to the debt, DOGE notwithstanding.

The migrant housing and real estate in general is a good illustration of this. There are multiple forces intent on not letting the bubble of real estate value collapse. Some of these are investment firms, but a lot of it is elderly people who have vested their equity in property value. The reason property is expensive is because we have a supply/demand problem. We’re importing people faster than we can build houses. There will be insane demands that we relocate 1/5 of India to our shores before these groups tolerate the fact that the real value of their property will… Read more »

As the Boomers die off, the housing supply at least in theory will increase, no? And those with assets outside of real estate should be able to acquire it. I think you make a very good point here about the motivations behind keeping real estate inflated to an insane degree but importing savages to maintain prices seems unsustainable.

The people who are importing the migrants to pay them rent are short-sighted and either don’t believe that their efforts to loot wealth will lead to the US becoming Brazil or that they’ll be insulated enough from the consequences. The boomer sunset is why many nations like Canada and Australia are taking in “safer” migrant populations like Indians and Chinese. Their economic scheming is a little less noticeable than a Haitian welfare town in Ohio.

The entire system is hooked on endless mass migration and population increases. There won’t be any housing shortages or even any significant change of policy – see NYC where hundreds of thousands of people, mostly wage-earning, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens, left and were replaced by illiterate migrants. What do I see in NYC publications a year later – “NYC’s population back to pre-coof levels”, “migration saves NYC schools with increased funding”, etc.

Smaller and boutique ones already have, they moved to Florida. Yet NYC, in spite of all its problems, and the disastrous and spiteful management of it, and the fact that it is much degraded in the past 5 years, still has a lot to offer the upwardly mobile and wealthy. You walk around midtown on a nice day and it’s still quite pleasant and the art, restaurant, cultural scene is still there. So it continues to draw people in. Rents are still going up. It’s not collapsing yet.

If the West needs to motivate a mass of young White men to do things: A. be informal internal security; B. Fight in limited Hybrid Wars, then the opportunity is throwing immigrants! out for cheap housing, crushing feminists to provide trad-wives, etc.

Certainly we are importing people faster than we build housing. However that’s only one factor. Housing building costs have risen as well. Well beyond the corresponding rise in wages. All part of the increasing “haves and have nots” and the hollowing out of the once vaunted middle class. So we have increased inflation, increased mortgage rates, flat wages—failure to keep up with inflation, student debt repayment, and stricter mortgage loan requirements. Here’s a statistic I recently read. The average age of a first time home buyer in the early 80’s was 29. The average age of first time home purchase… Read more »

Building houses has indeed become vastly more expensive. The permitting process is awful, the Canadian softwood tariffs and US environmental policies have driven materials through the roof, and I was dumbfounded to learn that a kid fresh out of high school with 3 years of shop class can get $50/hr. Yep, $100k plus OT.

But the demand side is also a problem. I thought my age group (born ’64) were perpetual children, but turns out we were pikers. Unlike today’s youth, we had that crazy uncle who asked, “What kind of job will that degree get you?”

This country no longer takes a rational problem solving approach to anything except the “problem” of how to funnel more money into the pockets of the oligarchs and their corporations.

There are lots of places like around here in Oregon, where the land use laws make the idea of “market forces” in housing totally absurd. The only forces that matter are the various insiders who decide just how big the housing shortage will be and where a few token new homes will be allowed to be built. Once you add in the totally politically controlled influx of foreign trash you can see that the local housing market is just a crooked casino where the only way to win at the card tables is to know the dealer.

Yep, but still White abortions, about 6%, Black about 25%, Hispanic about 12%.

I suppose we could consider the White rate an acceptable loss—particularly if we have such from White Leftists.

Abortions are for women too stupid or too insouciant to take birth control. Most white women are more or less intelligent enough to take birth control, so from a demographic perspective the problem is not abortion, it’s birth control.

I’ve never bought into the dissident-right argument that abortion is good because it’s mostly Negroes and Democrats having abortions. Personally I think it’s a moral outrage, but completely aside from that, even white women who do not have abortions do not produce enough white babies.

It is an offense to God, that is for certain. My mother, who is a very devout Catholic, had a friend in the 1970s who told her that “the time wasn’t right to have a child” and had an abortion. My mother never spoke to her again.

Right. Not everyone’s Catholic. The Jews, for instance, are big proponents of abortion. Around here there was a big Jewish abortionist who also ran a fertility clinic. Anything for a shekel, I guess. When people started doing 23 and Me they discovered that, strangely enough, they had like 30 brothers and sisters. All the mothers were his patients. Turns out he was jacking off and inseminating his IVF patients with his own Jew jiz. He died in a plane crash when the wings literally fell off (LOL) so maybe there is Divine Providence after all.

We totally can impose Catholic values and make them the law of the land without making everyone Catholic or have to go to Mass on Sunday. That’s what modern Catholic state would look like. It would be outlawing stuff like abortion while leaving people free to choose the Church, rather be coerced into it.

there are myriad possible reasons for population collapse, and they have different implications (re: Dennis Reynolds).

  2. environmental contamination inhibiting reproduction
  3. economic issues inhibiting desire for kids
  4. governmental interference (ala CCP one child policy)

what it comes down to, are people being prevented in some way, or are they choosing no kids for some reason.

and of course all the enumerated reasons can be in effect simultaneously.

Evolution is fast. Yes, change through breeding, mutation, and genetics is mathematically too slow to work, but genetics don’t happen in a controlled environment.

That’s what Darwin saw off the collapsed coast of Chile- it was that the environment changes, often quickly or even catatrophically. Evolution’s markers measure the change in the physical conditions, and the adaptation to those changes.

Genetics are memory in the flesh, the surviving remembrance of past places.
Each face shows the climate conditions of 10,000 years ago; this tells us that souls, too, are long-lasting memory embedded in a different substrate.

I have long argued that the collapse is the cure, and therefore is not to be feared but embraced. Nothing changes until the environment changes, and the models clearly predict that only a world war or global societal collapse can bring about the necessary macro-motivation for serious remedy to commerce. World war means nuclear war and that equates with a colony collapse scenario; not good! The alternative is a return of real hardship and competition-based culling; only the smart and strong shall prevail. Be the latter.

Our greatest ally just got their retaliation strike from Iran.

Is peace even desireable for our side? Perhaps we should sing, “all we are saying is, give war a chance. Peace is over, if you want it.” As the nature of War has changed a great deal. It is often hybrid. The CIA/Ukraine putting all those containers thousands of miles from the front lines in Russia to attack their nuclear bombers, and doing the same thing with Israel to attack Iran’s missile system from short range where nothing can really be done, is not just a Western trick. Iran, Russia, China can all do it too. And even the most… Read more »

Fear not, the Sun won’t simply wink out and take all life on Earth in an instant. G2V stars, as they enter their terminal phase, expand into a red giant. Our particular star is projected to slowly expand to eclipse the orbit of Mars. As it does that, it will begin tossing lethal doses of radiation that will poison all life in the inner solar system.

Yeah, the end of mankind due to the end of the sun is a quaint, but meaningless observation. Such changes in the sun are millions and millions of years in the future. How long have “humans” in a form we recognize as human been here? Certainly less than a million years.

Odds are we will vanish of our own accord long before the Sun puts an end to things, or more optimistically, we’ll travel out of this solar system and continue to evolve on other planets while watching the sun collapse light years away.

This is literally billions of years in the future. I am not a techno-optimist, especially in the near and medium term. I believe there is no chance of colonizing the Moon or Mars in the near to medium term. The problems we cannot solve now or likely to solve in the near to medium term future, are near endless. We cannot create a large domed city here, let alone on the Moon or Mars. Not just the city either, but the many square kilometer which would be required for self sufficiency just in agriculture. Mining in a near vacuum sounds… Read more »

Certainly, technological progress has to be made before we are able to “jump ship”. But you extend a rather limited time table to where our technology is today and how long it took, to a future that, if we are not foolish, could extend millennia.

What we see about us was unimaginable 200-300 years ago. That’s all the time it took to get here today. 300 year from now…?

Excellent show. I think you are spot on with the demographics being the number one risk. The loss of the smart fraction from the capable culture that built western society is disappearing. It only seems logical the civilization they built will disappear with them.

My only question is how far will civilization have to regress to match the capabilities of the new group?

Brazil is much whiter than South Africa, especially in the south of the country. But it has sufficient diversity to insure a fair level of crime. However, none of the main political parties are organizing gangs to hunt down white people like the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa.

The West, Sunnis, and Israel want to belatedly erase one of their bad decisions, the overthrow of the Shah. The hard part will be getting Russia to accept an undefended southern flank, vulnerable to further depradations. Israel is trying to manage optics gone terribly wrong, but as old hands at this game of calculated murder, they anticipated and were prepared for it.* Who dares, wins. If the mullahs are overthrown by someone just as bad as they are, well they should’ve consolidated their gains at home and played ball instead of wasting Persian people’s scarce economy on arming the Shia… Read more »

For those disappointed with Trump, or angry over his antics, this sort of kayfabe is who and what he is as a politician. He is not a fox like Gavin Newsom, but a hedgehog who has one great talent: baiting his opponents into taking the opposite of a 80/20 split not just with the public but powerful elites. It is why he is President and Kamala Harris is not. As entirely predictable attacks on Jews in the US, and US military bases here in the US by various immigrant Muslims cascade and Dems rush to defend them, again not just… Read more »

After October 7th, Israel has been progressively DONE with all its enemies, finally realizing that none of them – Hamas, Assad, Iran, Hezbollah, etc. – have the slightest interest in peace and serious negotiations. So they’re going to the mattresses. Former enemies like Egypt and Jordan have negotiated peace, and it has lasted. There are still around 20 living Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, coming up to 2 years after October 7. Why should this be borne, by anyone? Logic for attacking Iran now is similar to Russia’s in striking Ukraine in 2022: if you leave it further down… Read more »

Well, there are two immediate problems that I see. One of course is a moral problem. The equation of how many innocents does one kill to produce a lasting peace or avenge the dead is a hard one to put numbers to. Not that I’m arguing any particular position. Then there is the seeming reality that Israel is intent on driving out all from Gaza. Another moral conundrum—where the current population of millions has no where to go. And finally, can war against such immense populations ever succeed? Quite a gamble. Iran is large and now perhaps forced to go… Read more »

“Gamble” a word I am increasingly associating with Netanyahu – but is it justified? Hezbollah won’t even go in to bat for Iran now, thanks to Israel’s military offensive. And remember Russia not long ago failed to defend their client state Armenia (not to mention the Assad regime). Do they even have the resources to commit to Iran when they’re borrowing troops from North Korea? Is Netanyahu gambling, or he outsmarting everyone – including the Israeli public and elites who want him out of office and in jail? I agree that the goal is to get us embroiled, so we… Read more »

Russia needs no military assistance from Korea. The numbers of Koreans used were just a show for NATO wrt a newly forged alliance with “rocket man”. Putin is casualty adverse and uses many allies, such as militias from the Oblast regions annexed and old adversaries such as from Chechnya. Even a privately organized fighting group such as the Wagner group. You mention failure to support Armenia with troops—something similar to Biden and Afghanistan? 🙂 Wise leaders know when to cut their losses. WRT the big strategic conflict, Ukraine/NATO, the Russians are winning on every front. People think the pace of… Read more »

I’ve read conflicting information on Israel and the MOAB. I read that Israel were buying from us in February, then that they weren’t:

Guess we’ll find out soon.

As far Russia…successfully staving off Armeni’s defeat by Azerbaijan and consequent loss of Nagorno-Karabakh would have taken a minimal investment: maybe a few thousand troops. The fact that Russia didn’t do this hints that they are stretched in Ukraine. Now Armenia is moving into the EU/US orbit.

One more consideration is that NATO/Europe WANTS Iran taken out by Israel. Iran has provided Russia with thousands of drones and ballistic missiles, all used to kill Ukrainians. Bringing Iran to its knees means cutting off that supply and victory on another front in our (thus far) undeclared war against Russia.

WRT drones, Iran supplied many to Russia when these weapons turned out to be critically useful. Russia adapted these Iranian drones to use Russian supplied guidance/communication. The Russians also contracted with Iran and build these drones themselves. In short, Iran may be a useful supplier, but are not longer essential.

The is nothing short of direct involvement by NATO personnel that might save Ukraine, and even that is doubtful. The EU simply has nothing left to provide Ukraine except perhaps more cannon fodder.

“Antisemitic” has to be one of the most egregious bullshit words now in common use. Words mean things, and “semitic” means: adjective (1) relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family. (2) relating to the peoples who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic. Therefore, “antisemitic” = being opposed to speaking any one of the languages included in the semitic language family. Or, being opposed to any people whose natural language is classified as ‘semitic’ as opposed to, say, Indo-European or… Read more »

Surprised, a little, by the cascade of downvotes. What you wrote is trenchant and makes good sense from the Israeli perspective. The parallel you draw to Russia’s situation is incisive as well. Both countries find themselves threatened by implacable enemies. I’m no fan of Israel, in fact the “Israel Uber alles” vibe we get from the GOP is tiresome to the extreme. However, it is natural that any country vulnerable to attack and possible annihilation would apply all counter-measures available. But, “German-led armies a day’s march from Moscow?” You lost me there. Even in 2025, an army from Germany won’t… Read more »

I mean German-led EU/NATO armies camped out on the eastern Ukraine border, a day’s drive from Moscow. Just because Germany/EU is emasculated and led by gaggotians and girlbosses today doesn’t mean that will be the case ten years from now. The latent power is still there: they are Europe’s most powerful and capable tribe. In Putin’s nightmare scenario, Russia faces a Germany/EU across the Dnieper, this time not fighting on several fronts, with most of the world against it, but with its rear secured by UK/US and drawing on an EU population of 450 million.

The first direct NATO invasion will be met by Russia’s tactical nukes. The policy of such a strike was clearly set out a year or so ago by Putin. Only France and Britain have a nuke deterrence force and I’m not sure what they have in the tactical, battlefield, sense. In any event, the nuke force these two nations possess pales in numbers fielded by Russia—or the USA for that matter. Any crossing of the border by a fielded NATO army will not allow any EU production of weaponry in time for ramping up armaments. Any such conflict will be… Read more »
