Manosphere blogger and Game Cultist Vox Day, who also writes under the name The Dark Lord of Evil, had an online meltdown of sorts yesterday after the frosty reviews began emerging of his Infogalactic Project. Infogalatic, as readers recall, was set up by Vox and some other Red Pill writers as an 'alternative' to allegedly biased Wikipedia. Outside of an article on Breitbart, Vox' endeavor hasn't received much support outside of his Manosphere sycophants.
The Dark Lord, like his kindred spirit L. Ron Hubbard, writes Science Fiction as a sideline to promoting his alternative views on religion. Science Fiction writers have an of their own, and one such blogger named Camestros has Vox especially annoyed. Camestros, to Vox' horror, not only did not prostrate himself in effusive praise for Vox, he criticized Vox for an Infogalactic entry that scrubbed references to 'Women in Science.' Educating females is heresy among the Gamers---consider that Vox once praised the Taliban for their educational policies---thus the article provoked an angry outburst on Vox Populi.
"Women in Science is nothing more than an ideological intrusion by SJWs attempting to converge the very description and summary of science toward the 'highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice,'" Vox pouts, "They aren't genuinely concerned about either women or science. What concerns them is maintaining the flow of information and converging it to suit the Narrative as necessary, which is why Wikipedia's 531 thought police patrol the encyclopedia so relentlessly."
For his part, Camestros is answering Vox' objections ably in the comments section of his article. Which, as per usual, being aggressively trolled by Red Pill fanatics. Camestros appears to be a man of some insight, because he notes that the Gamers "apparently can't think of women in any terms other than politically or as sexual objects."
So, should Wikipedia have a subsection about the scientific achievements of women on its main Science page? The better form to frame this question would be: Should Wikipedia promote positive female role models for young girls? The answer to that question, of course, is yes. Vox' entire argument is premised on the notion---very common in the contemporary Manosphere---that the Game Cult is the focus of some over-arching scheme to censor and ultimately persecute them. Why? Well, because they've taken the Red Pill and know the truth. And their secret knowledge is a major threat to the Global Elites. Why these Elites simply don't block Infogalatic and Game Cult blogs---all of which can be found easily with a simple search on Google---is something they've not explained.
As is typical with these types of cultists, they're really angry about being ignored. Wikipedia won't publish their propaganda; and that, to their minds, amounts to censorship. Political and religious extremists have employed the same tactic throughout history.
Infogalactic is not an alternative encyclopedia; it's simply cultish propaganda disguised as one. The Gamers are always employing these types of disguises because no one would follow them if they understood their real motives.
The Corporate Media will certainly be talking about scandals at tomorrow night's debate: mostly nonsensical sex scandals, with careful avoidance of any mention of Wiki Leaks ever-expanding exposes of Clinton corruption. What might arguably be one of the biggest scandals of all won't be mentioned---it's been passed largely in silence by the Corporate Media so far---but tip of a big political iceberg has been emerging in Southeast Asia. This is probably underreported story of 2016; but its implications are devastating.
The scandal to which we refer is commonly called The Fat Leonard Scandal, unknown to most Americans unless they read military or Southeast Asian news. Here's what it is, and why it is important.
The story broke in Singapore during Hilary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. A company called Glenn Defense Marine Asia was a defense contractor servicing US Navy ships in Singapore while in transit to and from the Middle East via the South China Sea. GDMA got its contract during the 1991 Gulf War under Bush Senior. Since then, the company CEO went to one Alex Wisidagama, who put the contracting operations into the hands of his cousin, an American expat (now a Malaysian national) known as 'Fat Leonard' Francis.
Fat Leonard was under suspicion already in Singapore, by local authorities investigating narcotics and sex-slave trafficking through the country. In 2010, the Singaporean authorities were approached by some US Naval personnel who, distrusting Obama's LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon, reported that they had reason to suspect that Fat Leonard was overcharging and fabricating accounts to the USN. The Singaporean authorities found truth to the allegations and conducted a sting operation with the FBI. Wisidagama and Francis were lured to San Diego and arrested for fraud in 2013. Wisidagama has since been sentenced to five years in prison. Francis is facing 35 years, but has not yet been sentenced. Singapore arrested two more officials of GDMA last month.
Once on trial, Fat Leonard began confessing, and his confessions are the subject of the scandal. Not only was Francis overcharging the Government, he was actively bribing high-ranking US Navy officers, and paying them with drugs, sex-slaves, and cash to look the other way. Thus far, 14 officers have been indicted. These include:
Rear Admiral David Gilbeau, Supply Officer on the USS Nimitz. Gilbeau pled guilty in August to perjury. The Pentagon has since 'reassigned' Gilbeau to an office job with a reprimand.
Rear Admiral Terry Kraft, former commander of the USS Ronald Reagan and commander of US Naval forces in Japan. Kraft was found guilty of bribery, but allowed to retire with full pension and retention of all Naval citations.
Rear Admiral David Pimpo, also of the USS Ronald Reagan, was found guilty of bribery and several other charges. He was reduced in rank to Captain and allowed to retire.
Vice Admiral Michael Miller, another distinguished officer of the USS Reagan. Miller was the head of the Navy's Office of Legislative Affairs under Obama and was appointed to head the US Naval Academy. Miller was found guilty along with Pimpo but was censured and quietly allowed to retire.
Captain Daniel Dusek, who oversaw logistics for the 7th Fleet, was once referred to by Fat Leonard as "Our Golden Asset". Dusek was found guilty of bribery and passing classified information to Francis. He was sentenced to 4 years with loss of rank and pension.
NCIS Supervisor John Belieavu, pled guilty to bribery and other charges, and faces 20 years. In exchange for implicating others, Belieavu is cooperating and has testified against Admirals Ted Branch and Bruce Loveless of US Naval Intelligence. The two admirals have since been suspended.
Eight other officers are currently on trial, and an unknown number of others under investigation. As we see, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is doing his best to cover up the scandal.
Now why won't this be mentioned at the debate tomorrow? Well, aside from the fact that much of the Corporate Media are subsidiaries of government contractors who likely don't wish to be investigated themselves, there's this unfortunate matter of following this money trail. If we look at a map, all of the Naval fleets whose officers were involved in the Fat Leonard Scandal also are based in the Middle East. To wit,
We know that opiates are being shipped to the US from Afghanistan and that meth and hash are being trafficked via the Wahhabi-run Gulf States where the US has bases. We know that illegal weapons are being trafficked through the area, ending up in the hands of US street gangs and Mexican drug cartels. We know that thousands of women and children have been kidnapped by Wahhabi gangs in the Middle East and Africa and sold into slavery (like the prostitutes these officials were paid with). These women and children have never been found, but they evidently also go in the same direction as the drugs and weapons. We know that ISIS was selling oil and other contraband on the Black Market.
And somehow, despite the high presence of the US military in all these countries, none of these activities seem to get stopped. It's strange when we consider that the Syrian Army manages to break up terrorist drug labs and the Iranian Navy seizes ships carrying contraband on a regular basis, that our military is unable to stop any of this.
Maybe it's not that they're unable---but that they're unwilling. And that's one reason that the Fat Leonard Scandal is being hushed up. But there's also this to consider: the indictments in the scandal started coming down in 2013, the same time Obama began his ill-fated Pivot to Asia. Recall that the whole controversy in the South China Sea began when China laid claim to some uninhabited reefs; upon which they constructed artificial islands. Now China stated in 2013 that their purpose was to suppress smuggling and piracy, as part of Xi Jinping's New Silk Road Project. Obama objected on the grounds that US military vessels had a right of passage through the South China Sea. China agreed on the condition that US vessels would be subject to search. Obama rejected that proposal.
In light of the Fat Leonard Scandal, why do we suppose Obama would object to China monitoring shipments going through the area? Connect all these dots, and we see why the Fat Leonard Scandal may well be the tip of an iceberg.
For obvious reasons, Clinton would rather not talk about Fat Leonard, but Trump isn't likely to either. Given Trump's endorsements from military officers and personnel, corruption in the military is probably not something that Trump is eager to address. But it ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.
The fact is that our military has, under the last four administration, sunk under the general corruption and effete political correctness as the rest of our so-called 'elite institutions'. Nobody should believe at this point that the Fat Leonard Scandal is some isolated incident. Our Military is in need of a serious overhaul; even more so than the post-Vietnam military that Ronald Reagan rebuilt.
And that's a little more important than something Trump said about a hot babe 10 years ago.
Allied Intelligence sources reported this morning that armed civilian resistance inside Mosul is rapidly spiraling out of ISIS' control. Last night, a group of armed 'youths' attacked the ISIS encampment in the Al-Qahera District, killing two terrorists and forcing the others to retreat. Al-Qahera housed an ISIS base preparing suicide car-bombs. The civilians destroyed the vehicles and captured a cache of weapons and explosives.
Intelligence sources also report that two more ISIS generals were shot and killed by civilian snipers in Southeastern Mosul. Allied forces captured six more suburban in the same area.
The Iraqis are once again proving to effete Western Liberals that the principles of our 2nd Amendment really work in actual practice.
In other developments, Allied forces executed a brilliant maneuver north of Mosul, capturing the main road between Mosul and Turkish-occupied Baishqa. Militias have reportedly blockaded Baishqa as well---keeping the treacherous Erdogan at bay and out of the Battle for Mosul. Iraqi forces also captured an oil field before ISIS soldiers could sabotage it.
It was also announced that the Iraqi Air Force demolished the camp housing ISIS' notorious female suicide-bomb unit. Likewise, they destroyed a 30-truck ISIS convoy preparing to escape down Obama's so-called safe passage zone. The Syrian Military High Command issued a statement today denouncing the Beltway's duplicity and calling upon Iraqi Allied militias to obstruct ISIS passage into Syrian territory. Russia that it would increase air patrols over the border region.
Allied forces also liberated the historic Nimrod District in Northeastern Mosul yesterday. Nimrod is home to relics and monuments dating back to the Assyrian Empire and Old Testament times. Sadly, a team of specialists accompanying the troops reported that two years of ISIS looting and vandalism have devastated the site---listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The professors stated to the press that damage to the priceless monuments "was extensive," exceeding even ISIS' other crimes against our common cultural heritage in Homs and Palmyra, Syria. The Wahhabi Cult, to which ISIS subscribes, has no respect for human cultural artifacts. Their cult leaders teach that all religious symbols outside their perverted beliefs are offensive, regardless of their antiquity or cultural significance. This hatred for Civilization is what binds the Wahhabis ideologically with the Western Left, and why they mutually support one another.
The 2nd day of the Battle of Mosul has thus far been a success. The Iraqi Army has reported light casualties, without giving numbers. They have also reported that ISIS resistance thus far has been weaker than expected; and that battle-plans are progressing according to schedule.
Iraqi Citizens Evict ISIS from their Neighborhood.
Remember this Photo when US Politicians
Propose Gun Control Again.
Yesterday, while the US Corporate Media was busily plying the public with Trump's latest sexual improprieties, Allied tanks and artillery broke through ISIS barricades and infantry units entered the Iraqi city of Mosul. The city is ISIS' last stronghold on the Eastern Front and has been held by the Wahhabi Cult since 2014.
Iraqi units, augmented by Kurdish militias and Chinese and Iranian military advisors, entered Mosul from the Southeastern sector. The Iraqi military announced that five suburban areas have been liberated and several ISIS soldiers captured. These ISIS fighters were largely conscripts forced into the ISIS ranks, according to Iraqi generals.
Inside Mosul itself, civilian resistance, which has been active all Summer, has risen up en masse and taking a significant toll on ISIS forces. This Summer, at least five top ISIS have been shot by snipers, including ISIS' second-in-command. This morning, Iraqi troops recovered the body of ISIS' top religious leader in the Euphrates River, shot by an unknown assailant.
Apparently, too, ISIS soldiers remaining in Mosul are fighting among themselves. Iranian Intelligence reports that 60 ISIS soldiers were executed after a failed coup attempt against the ISIS leadership this weekend. The plotters evidently advocated surrender and suing for peace. According to interrogated prisoners, ISIS are also fighting over loot and a chance to escape and save themselves.
The Iraqi Government has also set up relief operations for the liberated civilian populations.
Meanwhile, tensions are arising on the sidelines between Allied and US-led 'Coalition' Forces. US forces have been "observing and operating in advisory capacity," according to spokesmen for the Gay-Friendly Pentagon. Of course, the Pentagon's actual purpose in Iraq is to provide Obama with a photo-op once Mosul is liberated; as well as to facilitate ISIS' escape from the city.
The Obama Administration insisted on establishing a so-called safe corridor---which conveniently leads straight to the Syrian border---of which fleeing ISIS forces have taken full advantage. Kurdish commanders are furiously complaining that entire convoys of ISIS troops are moving while US warplanes fly overhead, doing nothing. Kurdish leader Said Mamouziti believes that fugitive ISIS Supreme Commander, Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, is among those who have fled.
"The ISIS commanders, including Al-Baghdadi, are escaping Mosul to Syria. Baghdadi has also ordered his followers to destroy Mosul if they are defeated. ISIS is being evacuated by military convoys, escorted by foreign troops." he stated.
There is also an unconfirmed report that a US officer was shot by a sniper during these operations, near the Syrian border. There was no comment about the incident from the Pentagon today, although the US Military did proudly announce that the Navy is removing sexist language from its training manuals.
In other war-related news, a massive Russian humanitarian aid convoy delivered over 5 tons of food to displaced persons in Southwestern Syria. The Allied forces also made significant gains in Aleppo, recovering the industrial sector in the northern part of the city from Al-Qaeda.
Allied Forces Are on the Move
There were two very different news stories from different corners of the world today. Here, in the Prozac Nation, it appears that some our citizens, outraged over Donald Trump's alleged sexual indiscretions exercised their right to protest by firebombing a GOP campaign headquarters in North Carolina. The story came on the heels of a report of some outrage from the other side of the aisle when three men in Kansas were arrested for plotting a massacre at a Moslem community center. Apparently, the Politics of Personal Destruction are beginning to be taken literally by some.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, Chinese citizens were talking about two heroes---astronauts---who successfully launched a manned space mission today. Astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong will dock at China's new Space Station and remain there for 30 days before returning to earth. The launch took place at 7:30 AM Beijing Time, about mid-afternoon Sunday in the US when most Americans are in the hookah lounges, watching the NFL.
Jing is 50 years old and already something of a Chinese national hero. One of China's top fighter pilots, Jing transferred to the Aerospace Division and completed astronaut training. He has already flown into space twice, as a test-pilot for the Shenzou-11 space shuttle. Chen, who is 38, is a qualified astronaut though this important project is his first space flight. Chen is said by many to be a protégée of Jing's.
During this mission, the astronauts will perform the first ultrasound experiments in space and experiment with cultivating plants, both central to China's ongoing project to colonize space within the next decade. The astronauts will also test three projects submitted by Chinese secondary school students, who won a school competition in experimental space design.
In Chinese public schools, astronauts are heroes and interest in astrophysics is promoted. It used to be the same in the 1960s in the US, but sadly today, political correctness is promoted here instead and American space pioneers of the Apollo Missions have largely been relegated to the ranks of dead white males. We really no longer effectively have a space program here today. The politically-correct NASA began selecting a more multicultural group of astronauts for own Space Shuttle program back in the 1980s. The frequent accidents and scandals that broke out in NASA since then led Obama to ground the Shuttle Program in 2011. Our last major feat in space happened about two years ago, when an aerospace engineer accomplished the truly remarkable feat of landing a space probe on a comet. But instead of being a national hero, the inventor was roundly denounced and criticized for wearing an allegedly 'sexist' T-shirt to a press conference.
Not so in China, however. Jing's and Chen's exploits have captured the imaginations of a whole generation of Chinese boys and young men. Zhang Yulin, a top Chinese military official in the Aerospace Division agrees. "Shenzhou-11 is a new beginning." he told Xinhua News, "It marks the imminent end of the exploratory stage of China's manned space program. With the establishment of our planned expanded Space Station in 2020, China will carry out manned space missions on a regular basis. Spacecraft will be launched several times a year instead of once every several years. By then, besides astronauts, engineers and even tourists will hopefully be able to go to space."
So while American politicians are busy alternating between denouncing civil unrest and fomenting more of it; Chinese President Xi Jinping sent congratulations to the astronauts from Goa, where he is attending the annual BRICS meeting.
"This historic mission demonstrates that China has made new and significant progress in our manned space program." Xi stated, "We can be confident that our further goals in space will be realized. It is important for China to break new ground in manned space technology constantly, so that the Chinese people will take greater strides and march into space exploration fearlessly, to make new contributions to building Chinese power in Space."
How China Goes Into Space
How America Goes Into Space
Apparently frustrated that their trolling attempts on Wikipedia have been unsuccessful, the Manosphere Game Cultists, led by blogger Theodore Beale (a.k.a. Vox Populi, Vox Day, and the Dark Lord) have set up an alternative site called Infogalatic. The Alt-Right blogs are going wild promoting the new site and encouraging their disciples to write allegedly academic entries for it.
How this new site seems to work is like this: Suppose one searches Infogalactic, say for example, 'John F. Kennedy'. The Wikipedia entry for Kennedy will come up, unless one of the Gamers have edited it. It doesn't change any entries on Wikipedia; but allows the Red Pills to edit/rewrite the entries on Infogalactic. To put it in modern computer-tech parlance, they're using a proxy site to scrub another website.
What the Gamers are doing is not illegal, but it is highly unethical. Aside from piggy-backing off Wikipedia, the cult is promoting Infogalactic as an objective source of information. The Planetary Knowledge Core is Infogalactic's tagline. We get a glimpse of how objective Infogalactic is going to be from Vox' recent article on the project. After complaining of Wikipedia censorship of one his entries due to "lack of correct attribution" Vox snorts that:
"The fact that this particular contribution happens to be anathema to the radical SJWs at Wikipedia is mere happenstance, of course." And to prove his point he states that "Consider that 'Cultural Marxism' is unworthy of a page on Wikipedia, deleted and buried. But the page about gay performance artist Chris Crocker...has hundreds of edits and 53.9k of data devoted to it."
For starters, a search on Google gives us this link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism
Which goes to an incorporated entry with the 'Frankfurt School' where the term originated. The rather lengthy article goes into the term's original historical and philosophical meaning down its current uses in contemporary politics. As for Crocker, the fact that he's a popular celebrity explains the number of web-hits and edits that his article gets. It's just simple logic that a pop music star is going to get more attention than the historical entomology of a political/philosophical phrase.
Now the Alphas all consider themselves men of extraordinary intelligence and they have been conniving to interject Game/Red Pill Philosophy into academic pursuits for some time. Many of them have openly stated that Game should be taught to boys and young men in the public schools (Vox and most other Gamers oppose educating females). Add into the mix that Vox---with 172 of his disciples on the project, and a half-dozen pro-Game bloggers on the editorial board---and it's hard to take any of his claims about a 'non-biased approach' seriously.
Naturally such a bold undertaking is expensive, so Vox and his cohorts have made this special offer on their fundraising page:
"A number of corporations and services have indicated an interest in being able to monitor corporate pages of interest to them in order to prevent false, malicious, or misleading information being spread about their organizations and clients. A limited number of pro admin seats are available."
Yes, certainly there's nothing unbiased about selling administrative seats to special interests! Vox also tells us that objectivity will be achieved through "proven Game design principles and a sophisticated series of algorithms," which of course allows for all kinds of data skewing.
The sad part about this project is that millions of unsuspecting readers are going to happen upon Infogalactic without realizing that it's nothing but a cultish propaganda organ disguised as an online encyclopedia. Again, the Red Pills have taken the Cultural Marxist doctrine of "the relativity of truth" and applied it to their own agendas.
Good men doing good things is a predominant theme of these Friday features; and our Postmodern culture could certainly use some more of them. Anarchists running wild in the streets; Hollywood bad-boys held up as role models; sleazy politicians and corrupt elites; Gender Identity Disorder the new normal; and people running in terror from clowns---our society is a badly-messed up place.
It's hard to imagine that once upon a time, American men were men who took their unique personal abilities and enlisted them in the service of others. It used to be thought that to stand silent in the face of evil was as bad as condoning it. Today, men are taught just the opposite. Men are taught today that the Smart Boys know how to project an image and to regard good and evil as relative concepts. In today's world, only suckers and chumps stand for quaint ideals like right and wrong; the Wise Guys look out for Number One and use others to their own advantage.
If readers would like something different during this extended holiday weekend, we can recommend a real hero worth following. Our selection this week is a television series which ran on NBC from 1966-1967, T.H.E. Cat.
The protagonist of this series was a soldier of fortune named Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat. Cat was a retired circus acrobat (apparently not afraid of clowns) who with his Gypsy friend, Pepe, operated a nightclub called La Casa del Gato. Mr. Cat finds peace is too peaceful, with much good to be done in the world, and sets on a series of adventures saving people in trouble and recovering valuable properties.
T.H.E. Cat was created by the same producer who later produced the Dirty Harry series in Hollywood. It was also directed by the same man who directed Peter Gunn (reviewed here May 27th). Like those series, and many other late Golden Age television dramas, moral questions and sharply-drawn lines between good and evil prevailed. What we see actually reflected here is the Christian social outlook that once prevailed our culture. We are all flawed human beings, pure evil seeks to overcome us, and must be met with resistance of a crusader fighting for right.
Some critics of this series complain that the villains are personified as purely evil and that the heroes "do things just as bad". These critics miss the entire point. While all of us are sinners and liable to do wrong; evil is an irrational force that, as the Bible says of Satan, "goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." Evil will prey upon fallible humans and consume us, unless good men stand up to halt its course. The weakness of Moral Relativism is that it recognizes human evil, but not human good.
In the Biblical story, the first commandment God gave to Adam was "to maintain the Garden and defend it." This is what it means to be a man; the author of Genesis thus signifies that this is man's primary duty on Earth. Men are not taught this way any longer; the Feminists tell us that women are to maintain the Garden, while the Manospherians teach that it's nobody's responsibility to defend it.
Thankfully, Mr. Cat gives men a better role model. A man of conviction and ability puts the swaggering Alphas to shame. The first episode, Cat must protect a priest who is about to testify; in others he tries to dissuade people from committing criminal acts. T.H.E. Cat features plenty of action (Cat was a skillful martial artist) and every episode opens with an action scene. In addition to its deep and often unpredictable plots and the dark, film noir atmosphere, T.H.E. Cat is, as one reviewer said, "people who become like friends, people we want to spend time with every week, people we want to know more about." Sadly, the series only lasted one season: the fate of far too many excellent series at the end of television's Golden Age.
Some episodes of T.H.E. Cat are available on Youtube and complete series on DVD.
