RIGHT ON SCHEDULE, HERE COME THE DISTRACTIONS

          Less than a week since the Most Important Election of Our Lifetime occurred for the 20th or so time in the last 40 years, the Democrats have already begun fighting among themselves. The potheads and perverts who supported the likes of James Talarico and his bid to turn the US Senate into a postmodern version of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood are finding themselves up against the Clinton Machine/Old Guard who are content with keeping the Democratic Party a postmodern version of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. 

        Also, although most Americans probably aren't aware of this, Gulf War 3.0 is still ongoing. The Pentagon has been launching a few sorties against the decoys that the IRGC has planted around the Persian Gulf this week; but the Globalists ended up losing three more tankers trying to smuggle oil through the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian missiles wiped out a CIA listening-post on an Omani-held island. The highly-censored Saudi news media reported that Yemeni missiles had damaged part of their transnational pipeline (translated: rendered several miles of it inoperable) and also caused minor damage to the headquarters of WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner Saudi Aramco's tower complex (translated: razed the building to the ground). 

        America is still 2-3 weeks away from the holiday 420 blowout sales; the Thanksgiving football extravaganzas, and, of course, the unofficial Black Friday holiday. To forestall any outbreaks of Critical Thinking (which generally occur after the fact following American 'elections'), the Corporate Media has decided that it's time to distract public attention with the one thing that Americans care about more than war or political stupidity: a good sex scandal.

             So Jensen Huang, CEO of Tech Giant Nvidia admitted to having an extramarital affair. His mistress, as it happens, is 1) much younger than himself which has infuriated the self-righteous and sexually envious; 2) a former model. which has infuriated all of the sexually frustrated and closeted homosexuals; and 3) is a Chinese National which by default makes her a Chinese spy---whether she is or not is irrelevant. In short, this whole story is tailor-made to sate the public's insatiable desire for voyeurism with a healthy dose of xenophobia thrown in for good measure. If this doesn't result in Congressional Hearings (by many outraged Congressmen who just coincidentally want Big Tech's lobbying cash) or Huang removed by outraged 'stakeholders' (many of whom just as coincidentally covet his position), I'd be surprised. 

           While I really haven't any sympathy for any of these Tech Lords, it speaks very ill of our society when Corporate Robber-Barons like Huang can get away with doing things like buying politicians, bankrupting or destroying whole communities, funding Color Revolutions abroad, engaging in domestic espionage, treating employees like indentured serfs, establishing illegal monopolies and preying on the Middle Class: but the moment one is even alleged to have engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior---whatever that means---he is immediately pilloried. Of course, this doesn't only happen to CEOs: anybody who suspected of harboring heterosexual tendencies is subject to the same treatment.

           While we haven't reached the point of literal public executions for sexual impropriety (yet) we're not as far from this level of degeneracy as we might think. As recently as the 1970s, the Cambodian Khmer Rouge were actually doing that and they have more than a few admirers still around today. However, anyone who gets in the cross-hairs of our sexually repressed cultural warriors can expect some kind of vicious retribution all the way from social shaming to job loss or even jail in some cases. Weaponized sexual envy is a much more destructive force than many think: mainly because its become so normalized in our degenerate culture that nobody even stops to think about it any more. Make no mistake about it though: many totalitarian regimes and many outbreaks of atrocities and social upheavals throughout history have their roots in this very kind of social sexual repression. 

        To understand why this is so, we must recall that sexuality (that is, the natural desire to form a union with a member of the opposite sex) is a fundamental human need (however much postmodern academics want to deny that) like the need for food, water, shelter, etc. Examine what sort of desperation and depravity human beings will resort to in cases when regimes have engineered a famine. It's no different in cases of engineered sexual scarcity. Some of the most taboo-ridden societies in human history have been the most distinguished for either the most barbaric cruelties on the one hand and the most disgusting perversions tolerated on the other---often, like we see in postmodern America---existing side-by-side.

        Take for example the ancient Near East. There, we saw all sorts of sexual prohibitions about non-arranged marriages, strict punishments against mating between certain tribes and social classes, and considerable self-righteous monitoring of 'illicit' heterosexual behaviors. Yet these same cultures had temples where the most appalling abominations were carried out as religious rituals and parents thought nothing of sacrificing their children to their idols on occasion: much like our own enlightened society thinks nothing of hosting depraved so-called Pride Events and celebrates Abortion as a fundamental Human Right (including, it would seem, a growing public sympathy for post-partum abortions). Despots both ancient and modern understand that controlling sexual access can be as useful to maintaining their power as control of food and other resources is.

        By any objective standards, our culture is well on its way towards Barbarism, however much we'd like to pretend to exceptionality and imagine that we sit at the apex of Human Evolution, as postmodern Scientism assures us all. If our culture could generate enough character to reject our hubris and see things as they are, we might have a chance of not reaching that level.
