ARE WE SEEING A PATTERN HERE?

        So it seems that the crazies are at it again.

        I wonder whether or not anybody else is noticing a disturbing pattern here? Let us go back to February, at the start of the Iran War. The Pentagon targeted and murdered Ayatollah Khamenei who is the Supreme spiritual leader of Shia Islam. Islam is divided into two main sects, like Protestants and Catholics: one has a top spiritual leader and the other doesn't. The Sunni Moslems don't have a spiritual head, but their top political official is the King of Saudi Arabia who is custodian of the Islamic Holy Sites, Mecca and Medina. The Saudi flag even has a passage from the Koran emblazoned upon it in Arabic which translates: "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is His messenger." But our Head-of-State boasted to the Saudi King's 'subjects' that His Royal Majesty 'kisses Trump's a--' and has sent out at least two posts mockingly praising Allah.

      Then, within the next two weeks, the White House launched a series of insults against Pope Leo, who is the head of the of the Catholic Church. It was leaked (probably deliberately) at the same time that Hegseth's thugs had summoned the Papal Nuncio and insulted him, threatening that the US could remove Popes and the Holy See like other tyrants during the Middle Ages did. Then, yesterday, Protestants were shocked to see a post depicting Trump as Christ with people praying to him, and what looks like (to me anyway) American soldiers chasing or capturing a demon in the sky above. 

         These things were all liberally interspersed with apocalyptic threats such as wiping out entire civilizations. Note too that all of this has happened during the Islamic Holy Season of Ramadan and the Christian Holy Season of Easter, which occurred together in 2026. What do these things suggest? We have a President who evidently believes that he can replace the spiritual leaders of the world at will, and assume the leadership of those sects without one. In other words, he may actually have started believing himself a Messiah. 

          The partisans of this Administration naturally will dismiss such suggestions as tin-foil hat stuff as JD Vance and others are doing. It must be confessed that, in the postmodern United States, it is not at all uncommon for those in positions of power---notably Corporate CEOs, heads of Governmental Agencies, and Educational Administrators---to suffer from God Complexes: they imagine themselves superior to other men; they take delight bestowing favors on their sycophants and destroying others' lives at their whims; they treat any opposition as heresy; and they have Boards who sing their praises at meetings like angelic choirs; etc. Few, however, actually go so far as to portray themselves as actual Deities---not because they don't believe that they are; but because they've been advised that it would be bad PR to make such displays public. 

        What we may be seeing here with the Second Trump Administration is something more characteristic of cult leaders. It isn't uncommon that cult leaders build a large following, amass power, and ultimately start believing their own hokum. Ordinary cult leaders who've reached this point are dangerous enough: but one heading a nuclear-armed global superpower---surrounded by fanatics utterly submissive to his will---is not a pleasant scenario to contemplate. However, if this is the pattern that it appears to be, we'll have to face it whether we want to or not. 

TRASH CULTURE SHAPES THE NEW MEDIA

          So, this Sunday America's annual celebratory monument to Trash Culture, the Super Bowl, came and went. Of course, the controversies go on: the Corporate Media has to milk these events for ad revenue long afterwards. Like the Academy Awards and similar staged farces, the choreographers and producers of 'Halftime Show' has to come up with something to politicize the whole thing on top of its obvious crass commercialism and general superficiality. The City of Seattle is hosting the obligatory victory parade for their hometown heroes, all of whom probably are already in contact with their agents to negotiate for higher contracts and willing to sell their services to the highest bidder. 

        In a culture where the personal is political, obviously we can't be entertained without making a statement of some sort. The grifters at Turning Point USA---which has had remarkable success with staging these kinds of spectacles---set up an 'Alt-Halftime Show' to balance the Virtue-Signalling from the other side. Today everyone is talking about Bad Bunny and Kid Rock; names which would sound to an impartial observer like a pair of characters from an old Loony Tunes episode.

          In a culture where Status and Celebrity matters, it's considered edgy and admirable whenever one of these corporate properties affects to have an independent thought. The fact that all of these Media creations are paid performers never seems to occur to anybody. Since the advent of motion pictures---actually even before to a lesser extent in the days of theater and novels---clever sharpers and marketing analysts learned that audiences vicariously identify with characters. There has always been this kind of conflict between whether entertainment was a performative art or a commercial enterprise. In the early days of Hollywood, this was a much deeper discussion: often leading to clashes between directors and producers. There is no controversy any more as to which side eventually won out. 

       Following the First World War, some saw the potential of successful wartime propaganda for the wider application of mass psychological manipulation. The Third Reich was really the first government to put the theory into practice. The Regime established an agency, the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda which had control over all entertainment venues. "The Ministry has the task of carrying out an intellectual mobilization in Germany. In the field of the spirit it is thus the same as the Ministry of Defense in the field of security. [...] Spiritual mobilization [is] just as necessary, perhaps even more necessary, than making the people materially able to defend themselves," Herr Goebbels said in a speech to broadcasters in 1934. 

         In the US, we (for now) don't have the infrastructure of a State-Controlled Media, although Corporate control over such outlets makes the distinction between the two rather blurred. What we are currently witnessing is a shift from so-called 'Legacy Media' to so-called 'independent outlets,' which has been ongoing for some time even before the current Administration assumed power and took measures to accelerate the decline of the former and the elevation of the latter. However, as Kit Knightly pointed out:

       "The fact is, legacy media is dying. Which is a good thing. But do you think the establishment doesn't see this? Do you think it hadn't occurred to them to get out in front of it by seizing control of the new media platforms and planting "leaders" in supposedly independent media movements? Like a hermit crab swapping out shells – they will simply slide themselves from their old home to a nice shiny new "indy" one..getting totally accidentally promoted by the algorithm."

       Under the Biden/Harris Administration, the Democrats actively acted upon this principle, using paid influencers to promote their policies and making attempts to define what is disinformation and promoting Speech Codes. True to it's reactionary nature, the New Right merely took up where the Democrats left off, including repressive speech codes beginning with phony campaigns against alleged 'antisemitism' and culminating in NSPM-7; they've even set up their own Disinformation Bureau, and many of these supposedly 'alternative news' outlets---including the aforementioned TPUSA---are heavily funded by organizations with vested interests, including the biggest and loudest of them all: the WEF-connected Social Media platform X. 

      What we really witnessed with the 'Alt-Halftime Show' was just another trend in the movement from a failing Media system to one more concentrated, controlled, and efficient. The collapse of these Legacy Media systems should have been met with de-centralization and effective legislative guardrails against future concentrations of power and abuses of technology. Instead, what we're seeing is the beginning stages of an authoritarian media system, where the worst elements of the old system are both retained and amplified, and the best elements of competition and the Free Market are swept aside.

HOLIDAY HYPOCRISY FROM THE UNIPARTY

         So, today (December 24th), we in America are on the eve of yet another holiday which has lost all of its meaning. Christmas in the Postmodern United States has really become one great exercise in evading Reality. Over the previous several years, the Whacko Left Wing of the Uniparty has sought to denigrate any spiritual overtones surrounding the event, while Virtue-Signaling and serving the interests of Wall Street became the New Normal defining the Christmas Spirit. Now that the Reactionary Wing is in power, Christmas is about denying things like, say, the ongoing Genocide in Palestine, the build-up to war to annex Latin America and the Arctic in the interests of the Techno-Fascist Deep State; the deployment of secret police forces and building of Concentration Camps, Smart Cities, etc. To help encourage distractions even further, we've had another release of muh Epstein Files so that partisans of both wings of the Uniparty can clutch their pearls in self-righteous outrage and point fingers at each other. 

          Another story that has somewhat faded but generated some further fake outrage for a time was the story of CBS spiking a documentary on the CECOT Gulag in El Salvador. The Corporate Media---which is still trying desperately to pretend that it has even the slightest shred of journalistic integrity or independence---is getting some sympathy from the Democrats who are howling about the Administration's growing stranglehold over content. They're hoping that nobody will notice that they've been doing the same thing for several years. The Democrats would also probably hope that, by focusing on Epstein, nobody will remember that the US started these inhuman ICE deportations under Biden, with full support from Democrats in Congress; and the Republicans would just as soon nobody ask questions either; since that would undermine their narrative about the Democrats supposedly favoring Open Borders.

       Atrocities in the Police State of El Salvador---whose dictator has visited the White House and been a regular speaker at American Conservative conferences---were not the only story from the region swept under the rug by the Corporate Media. In neighboring Honduras, a de facto US-backed Color Revolution occurred, installing an ally of the White House and (more importantly) the Techno-Fascist Oligarchy. Just as El Salvador is a model for the type of Police State that the Elites wish to impose in the US, Honduras has been a battleground over development of a proposed Smart City, which the Elites also hope to establish in America. Earlier this month, the White House quietly pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a backer and partner of Peter Thiel's Prospera Project, which his successor as Honduran President has opposed strongly. The now-deposed Honduran Government deported Hernandez to the US, where he was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of Cocaine into the country. 

     "A Wall Street Journal story reveals that Trump goon Roger Stone explicitly argued pardoning Hernández could 'crush socialism and save a freedom city in Honduras,' calling Prospera a project with 'major implications for U.S. policy and the future of freedom throughout the world.'" Stone is a long-time Deep State operative, a protegee of one of the sleaziest political operators in American History, Roy Cohn. It's not surprising that he would ally with the likes of Thiel, since Thiel and Cohn are very similar characters.

      We're certain, though, that the True Believers and the Denialists will have no end of excuses and rationalizations for all of these crimes; likewise the Controlled Opposition (who are the Democrats) will pretend not to notice and focus on salacious stories and rumors from Epstein Island. Such is the Postmodern State of the Christmas Season---as divorced from the Reality of Christmas as contemporary Christianity is from the actual Gospel. 

     

THE UNIPARTY'S YULETIDE BAIT-AND-SWITCH FOLLIES

       Emboldened by some wins in off-year 'elections,' the Democrat Wing of the Uniparty held some more publicity-stunts in the Congress on Thursday and Friday. Following their fake outrage over the Pentagon's open commission of War Crimes, the Democrats decided to interview the nominal head of another rouge agency, Kristi Noem of the so-called Department of Homeland Security. Like Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem is a Christian Nationalist, White Supremacist, and a very bad neurotic. She was joined by Joe Kent, who was appointed head of the National Counter-Terrorism Center by the White House despite his known ties to Neo-Nazi organizations; and by long-time Deep State functionary Michael Glasheen who substituted for Kash Patel after the latter snubbed the interview. 

      Even ahead of the Hearings, the would-be Alpha Supermen released some further low-brow productions from what has become their official Troll Farm. 

       

        While some Conservative think-tanks have decried the appropriation of the Christmas Season to glorify ICE violence and Alpha sadism, the response from American Christian Conservatives has been a mixture of stony silence or outright support for the Neocons' policies. For their part, the Democrats will foam and froth a lot: threaten impeachments and other drastic actions, but in the end will do nothing meaningful to rein in either the Pentagon or DHS. The problem that the Democrats have is that they really have no moral standing to accuse this Administration of abusing its power. They can't complain too loudly about the Pentagon's extrajudicial killings and unilateral military options since Clinton and Obama regularly did much of the same. They can't argue against mass-deportations since Kamala Harris bragged throughout the 2024 Campaign that the Democrats were tougher on immigrants than Trump; and Biden looked the other way at rogue governors like Abbott and DeSantis and their illegal treatment of immigrants. They can't talk too much about building Concentration Camps and weaponizing Federal agencies against Americans---for obvious reasons. Nor can they complain much about expansions of the Police State after Obama militarized DHS even more than Bush did.

       Nonetheless, though, the Uniparty doesn't want people asking any further questions, so to force the Hearings off the headlines, they simultaneously released some photos from muh Epstein Files as a distraction. It worked too: the spooks even threw in photos of Clinton along with Trump so that partisans of both sides can point fingers at each other. 

       This is a further example of American Trash Culture writ large. The Pentagon ordering War Crimes? Yawn. The Deep State fomenting Regime Changes? Ho-hum. Secret Police deployed to American Cities? Shrug. Neo-Nazis making policy decisions? Meh, no big deal. Men visiting an island and having sex with young women? O Tempora! O Mores! How will our Republic survive?!?!?

      These farces are also an example of what we can expect if Wall Street permits the Democrats to regain control of Congress next year. More hearings, investigations, witch-hunts, impeachments---none of which will amount to anything, and basically is all that the Republicans did after re-gaining Congress in 2022. We can expect two years of Epstein and Russiagate while wealth-transfers, police-state repression, and the Corporate domination of the economy and society go on unchallenged. 

      

      

        

         

TRASH CULTURE CONSERVATISM HITS NEW LOWS

        The Woke Right never seems to find a bottom of the barrel in its relentless quest of seeking the Lowest Common Denominator in terms of selling its message. When reading a story that appeared this weekend about changes in National Parks Admission policies, some of us thought that it was Fake News, but, no: it turned out to be a true story:

      "The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday...Now, visitors to the 116 parks that charge entrance fees will no longer get in for free on MLK Day or on Juneteenth, a federal holiday on June 19 that celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. They will, however, on Trump’s June 14 birthday, which was added to the list this year. Parks charge admission fees that range from $3 to $30, according to the National Park Service."

       The article also mentions that the policy follows a May 20th Directive from Bill Gates' stooge heading the Department of the Interior encouraging Americans to denounce Park Displays which they deem offensive or not Politically Correct. 

       "On May 20, U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told park officials to display signs encouraging visitors to report information in parks that seemed negative about either past or living Americans." Burgum essentially has been ruling the National Parks Service by Decree, and---much as he did as North Dakota Governor---has been opening the floodgates to Gates and other Land Barons to seize as much Federal Land as possible, not mention facilitating land-grabs on behalf of the National Security State and conscripting Bureau of Land Management agents into the State Security Police. 

     While admittedly there is room for debate about observances of Federal Holidays, it's clear that the new Admissions Policy in the Federal Parks is designed to appeal to the increasingly White Supremacist leanings of the New Right. The Decree comes just days after the White House essentially called for the Ethnic Cleansing of Somalis in the US (including Americans of Somali descent); his waiver of Immigration restrictions for White South Africans, and supporting the ongoing murders of non-Whites in the Gulf of America and police-state level thuggery carried out by ICE. 

     Unfortunately, in American political discourse, the term racism has been so abused by the Whacko Left Wing that genuine displays of it are now shrugged off or ignored. The American Left is made up of self-hating Whites who throw the term at anybody who doesn't consider being White a genetic inferiority and abase themselves accordingly. Be that as it may, it doesn't justify going to the opposite extreme and embracing White Supremacy. Both are contrary to the spirit of our Declaration of Independence which unashamedly proclaims that all men were created equal; and both ignore the long political and social struggles (which, contrary to popular belief, involved the sacrifices and efforts of White Americans too) to overcome deeply-rooted racial and ethnic prejudices. 

     Racial and Identity Politics are part and parcel of the Strategy of Tension, by which the Oligarchy keeps the populace divided and disorganized so as not to offer resistance when an Authoritarian Regime is proposed to 'restore order.' It is a matter of indifference to the Ruling Class as to whether the Authoritarians in charge are racist Alpha bullies or Rainbow-Pride Social Justice Warriors so long as they remember who pays their salaries and to whom they owe their positions. The Reactionaries are not the allies of Conservatism, but just as much foes of freedom as the Woke Left. We must recognize that playing the Race Card is no better just because so-called 'Conservatives' do it.

      

MEDIA EATS HOLIDAY CROW AS BOT SCANDAL DEEPENS

         The paid spokesxhes on both sides of the Uniparty are scrambling to do Damage Control after Elon Musk's latest escapade recoiled massively. Musk's xenophobia probably got the better of his judgement; and this week he announced that X would be posting the Country-of-Origin of everyone with accounts. Musk likely was assuming that only his enemies would get exposed: however the fallout has been about equal on both wings of the Uniparty. 

       As usual, both Democrats and Republicans are finger-pointing, accusing each other of doing what they do themselves. Somebody posted a 'heat map' which shows, in this instance, the pro-MAGA accounts and their Country-of-Origin.

        While this is hardly flattering to the New Right, it should be pointed out that the longstanding Whacko Left accusation that 'Russian bot farms' are behind the pro-Trump accounts has finally been exploded. There never was any truth to that, as anybody who researched that subject for five minutes would have figured out. I have a feeling that when we get a map for pro-Democrat accounts, we'll see that China doesn't factor very high for them either, as the New Right is always claiming.

       Still, it must be galling for all those who've been re-tweeting and promoting based and red-pilled posts to learn that many are being generated in places like Bangladesh and Somalia. It shouldn't be surprising since the Conservative-Industrial Complex has been caught doing these kinds of things before. What's likely going on here is the same reason that Corporate America outsources things like Customer Service and other functions to foreign front organizations: it's cheaper and there's less oversight. In this case, propaganda is being outsourced. 

          Fortunately for the Elites, they'll have the Holiday distractions of NFL extravaganzas, Holiday discounts at the Marijuana Dispensaries, and of course Black Friday to sweep as much of this under the rug as possible before people start asking questions like: "Who's paying for all of these sock-account operations?" It's obviously an organized effort, since so many of these accounts are centered in the same places. 

       In the long run, it may not change many minds anyhow. The Whacko Left will just say that Russian Bot-Farms are using VPNs; the New Right will just say that it's all smart business strategy and controlling the Narrative is all that matters anyway. Musk is already posting disclaimers and hiding certain accounts to try and keep these embarrassing questions from surfacing. 

        

      

      

      

HONOR OUR MILITARY TRADITIONS: FIRE HEGSETH

       Growing up, I knew some veterans of World War I; several more from World War II; and many more from Korea and Vietnam. Especially the latter. Some of the older people knew of those who went through the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. One could respect those who fought for America's defense when the need arose.

     Things, though, have changed since then. Since the First Bush Administration, the Military has become the instrument of furthering the ends of the Corporate Deep State. Like all other Corporate instruments, American Veterans of today often had to go against their own consciences carrying out inhuman orders and left the Military under varying degrees of traumatization. Also, like other Corporate instruments, such people became expendable once they were of no further use to the Military-Industrial Complex.

     Others in the Postmodern Military, however, took the realistic approach and accommodated themselves to the New Normal. These are the kinds who thrive in a system of corruption and don't let things like War Crimes bother their conscience too much. Such a character is the current head of the so-called Department of War, Pete Hegseth.

      Since taking over the Pentagon in January, Hegseth has engaged in purges of the officer corps, practically eliminated any civilian oversight of his department, is building a paramilitary strike force for domestic purposes, and---after a few ineffectual bombing campaigns in Yemen and Iran---has been more recently sating his sadistic impulses by destroying motor-boats off the South American Coast. The death toll from these murders is reportedly over 60 now; according to the Pentagon, they were drug-smugglers---although none of the vessels seem to have either the fuel capacity or the structural integrity to go across the Caribbean Sea to the United States. We have no way of knowing since the Corporate Media slavishly takes the Pentagon's word for everything; but even if Hegseth's accusations are true, he has no jurisdiction over narcotics-trafficking. 

    

      Many have questioned Hegseth's competence, but there are increasing numbers who question his actual sanity. His seeming obsession with killing non-Whites, his open disregard for civilized Rules of Military Engagement, his reported irrational outbursts, the unmistakable symptoms of acute Paranoia and latent homosexuality are evident to anybody not wholly subsumed by the MAGA Cult of the Alpha Superman. 

     If we had a functioning Congress, there would be demands for Hegseth to be relieved of duties pending an independent psychiatric evaluation (and, yes, there is precedent for this). Then again, if we had a functioning Congress, Hegseth never would have been confirmed in the first place. The Senate overlooked things like Hegseth's sheer incompetence, his ties to a Christian Nationalist Cult, suspicions of his ties to White Supremacists; instead, focusing on ridiculous allegations of sexual impropriety, which, unfortunately, to both Congressmen and the American Public these days are considered more serious than Hegseth's other moral crimes.

    On this veteran's day, groups representing former American servicemen should take stock of the dangerous direction our Military is taking, put partisan differences aside and demand the removal of the madman, Hegseth. That the Pentagon---and the Military generally---is in serious need of reform, no one doubts; but reform is different from reactionary politics. The damage done under a fanatic will only make a bad situation worse. 

    

THE CAPTIVE MARKET. HEALTHCARE EDITION

       At the onset of this Labor Day Weekend in Upside-Down Clown World, the American public has just now noticed that President Trump is elderly and subject to the physical and mental health concerns of Old Age. When President Reagan finished his second term, he was younger than Trump is at the start of his; and during the 2024 Campaign, it was pointed out by some that Bill Clinton---whose last year in office was 25 years ago---was still younger than both Biden or Trump. There are Panic Attacks breaking out all across the Internet too: and already scapegoats are being sought:

        JD Vance, who has a long history of throwing gasoline on political and social fires, made the situation worse by remarks which some interpreted as an indication that our current Head-of-State maybe about to join the Heavenly Hosts. Of course, this has led to further controversies over what would happen if one of Peter Thiel's poodles should assume actual control of the US Government. 

       These are all issues that should have been raised in, say, November of 2023; but the only important thing was owning the Libtards, winning for the sake of winning, and muh egg prices. Contrary to what many want to believe, Trump is not immortal; and subject to the same limitations of human mortality as the rest of us. Personally, I tend to believe that the President is still alive though possibly going through an illness, rumors about body-doubles and avatars to the contrary notwithstanding. There's really nothing new about this kind of thing.

      Speaking of Peter Thiel and his stranglehold influence that he has over the US Government: the story that got swept out of the headlines concerned yet another political purge---this time at the Center for Disease Control. As is characteristic with the New Right, the issue wasn't so much that the CDC bureaucracy needed to go: it was what they intended to replace it with. 

     "Jim O’Neill served during the George W. Bush administration as principal associate deputy secretary at the HHS, before beginning his career as a tech investor. Prior to joining the second Trump administration, he was managing director at Thiel’s Mithril Capital Management and also served as CEO of the Thiel Foundation. Like Thiel, a libertarian who has long advocated restrained government intervention, O’Neill has similarly called for a laissez-faire attitude toward federal regulation." 

      Although O'Neill has a Doctorate, it happens to be in Liberal Arts, not medicine. His first job was as a journalist before being chosen by Bush Jr. to work in the Department of Health and Human Services as a Press Writer. No doubt, Thiel, through Vance's influence, has captured yet another key Government Position along with the rest of his pals in WEF-connected Big Tech firms and Dark Enlightenment connected ideological circles.  

       This is one of the main problems with the New Right's approach to Government in general. Reagan's policy---and for that matter, Trump's First Term---was to clean up corruption and inefficiency and make Government work for the people again. Draining the Swamp meant clearing up obstructions to good governmental functioning: not doing, as the New Right is doing; i.e. draining the swamp then back-filling it with their own authoritarian-leaning ideologues. 

       Thiel's contempt for democracy was no secret. The 2024 CPAC Conference which elevated Trump opened with a keynote speech vowing to overthrow Democracy was public knowledge. Vance's connections to Thiel was no great secret either; nor was Thiel's own connections to the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset. 

      Whether President Trump goes the way of all flesh in the near future or his designated successor is appointed in 2028 is irrelevant. Either way, the intention is that the Great Reset will continue its Long March through the institutions, and we have no one to blame but ourselves when we find ourselves living under such a Regime.

      

       

LITTLE ORPHAN ANI

        So during the last week, I hadn't posted anything due to a vacation in a fairly remote area, though I visited a few sites from time to time. I was staying at an old associate's cabin---who works for the now likely---soon-to-be-defunct National Forest Service. Our relationship's what the British call the old school tie whereby men who went to the same schools, played for the same teams, and came from the old neighborhood keep together long after they've gone out to make their ways in the world. 

      I came across an artifact in the cabin which brought back some childhood memories. It looked something like this:

        When we're children, we tend to relate to humanoid animals, in fact I still feel a certain affinity with raccoons to this day. It's also fairly normal that children have imaginary friends when they are alone, and boys have action-figures and girls grow up with dolls and they have a symbiotic feeling with these objects. However, when people do these sorts of things when they are well past puberty, it seems a bit abnormal. However, as a recent article by Vigilant Citizen pointed out, these times are far from normal. 

         Thus it happens that Elon Musk---who in normal times would be locked up as a menace to society instead of given responsible positions in Government---has put into place a shared dream of the Red Pills and the Transhumanists. Grown-ups now can have imaginary friends too, courtesy of Artificial Intelligence.

       

        Musk announced that a 'male' version of this feature is upcoming (presumably for women, though I have my doubts). In the linked article, VC also displayed some humanoid/animal figures being used to sell the message. As we mentioned above, this is normal for small children; in fact, anthropologists believe that human-animal identification is one of the ways that tribal totems came into being. This is really further evidence that, despite our technological achievements, we really are as a society sinking back into Barbarism. VC noted that "Faced with this widespread hatred of AI art, a propaganda campaign emerged on Reddit using the slogan 'AI art is art.' These dystopian words (reminiscent of the equally Orwellian motto 'trans women are women') seek to rid AI art of its stigma and to normalize it." The blurring of gender roles and acceptance of the very primitive Rainbow Agenda is likewise a throwback to a darker age. It's quite chilling how both AI and the normalization of homosexuality have been adopted by a passive and apathetic American public.

        Although it's almost exclusively adults behaving in this manner, there is some pushback and concern about AI's influence on children and teenagers. Given that our Government is now squarely in the hands of Scientistic Techno-Fascists, we can expect little, if any, solutions at the political level. Younger people and children are already being groomed to accept synthetic AI relationships as normal, just as they were with the Rainbow Agenda and many other societal problems. We have American parents who---through a combination of apathetic neglect and horrible example---have set the stage for the dehumanization of younger generations.

          Generations of parents who outsourced their own thinking, abandoned their own children to Mass-Media and the Academic Mafia, and submitted passively to any 'new normal' the social engineers sought to impose certainly haven't prepared younger people for anything like the skills necessary to function in a free and open society. Actually, all that children and teens are doing is imitating their elders: they're just using more advanced technology to do what our generation does with social media, talk-radio, and television.  

        VC notes that "following online discussions about AI relationships is a fascinating yet dreadful experience. While this technology is brand new, many have already adopted AI as a replacement for human relationships." Are we surprised? We were being warned about the increasing alienation of people from their communities and a growing preoccupation with self since the mid-20th Century. Nobody paid attention, and now the Day of Reckoning is fast approaching.

     "The global elite" VC concludes, "has big plans for AI. They want it to merge with numerous aspects of humanity, whether it be art, work, relationships, or even sexuality. While there is resistance to AI, barriers are being torn down by targeting human weaknesses. Think about it: Millions of people are feeding AI their deepest fears and insecurities on a daily basis. AI is literally built to learn and process this data, which then can be used to exploit humans."

      This is true: but we can add to this that the process of doing so has been expanded enormously thanks to the New Right allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE scumbags unlimited access to datamine US Government databases and authority to smash any oversight on how this data was used or exploited. Granted, Americans should have opposed the collection of such information in the first place: Edward Snowden and Julian Assange warned us about the extent of it, and many warned of the dangers of the Bush Administration shredding Privacy Laws. Nobody cared though; and now Big Tech can move into the Accelerationist Phase of the Great Reset. Before the usual knee-jerk MAGA apologists come out with their denials, remember that Authoritarianism has been both the stated goal and the underlying philosophy of the New Right for some time. 

      Technology itself is only a tool which can be used for good or evil. Some nations  have restricted AI's use to fields like medicine and engineering; but others---like ours---are using it as a means of expanding Social Control. Sadly, our Culture is already well-primed to surrender its freedom in exchange for Hedonism and Instant Gratification. 

        

FALLOUT FROM THE FOURTH

      So, although our Woke Republicans moved official Independence Day to Juneteenth, the 4th of July is still an observed holiday (for now). In our Government By Social Media, there was a lot of activity leading up to the Main Event, an Ultimate Fighting Championship smackdown in the White House. 

      First, just three days after the State Department issued a Travel Warning against Americans visiting Haiti, the White House announced an Executive Order ethnically cleansing the Haitian population from the United States. Flanked by Interior Secretary and Bill Gates henchman Doug Burgum, Christian Nationalist Russ Vought, and America's official Tradmom Kristi Noem, the White House ordered that by September 2, 2025, over half a million Haitians, some who have been in the US for over 15 years, to find another legal pathway to remain in the US or face detention and deportation. The issue has been challenged in Court, but, as we've seen, this Administration has learned well from the previous one and found that intimidating the Judiciary works. 

     The inclusion of Burgum was interesting. His old boss Bill Gates is widely suspected of instigating the 2021 coup in Haiti which is responsible for the current state of unrest there. The State Department, both under former chief Antony Blinken and the current one Marco Rubio have proposed Kenyan mercenaries be deployed there as 'peacekeepers.' Kenya is another country where Bill Gates has his fingers in the political pie in a major way; but nobody seems concerned with Gates' influence in this Administration. Likewise, nobody is overly concerned that the anti-Haitian hysteria was fanned by literal Neo-Nazis; everything seems to be justified as long as we own those Libtards. 

    On the subject of Neo-Nazis, the figurehead President with the aforementioned figurehead Kristi Noem in tow jetted off to Florida shortly thereafter to tour the Grand Opening of a Concentration Camp quite appropriately placed in the Florida Swamp. At a press conference following the tour, Trump threatened to use the camp not only for undocumented immigrants but also for American citizens. 'Many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too. You want to know the truth. So maybe that will be the next job,”  adding that the prison may be "a little controversial, but I couldn’t care less.” As in the first case, the White Supremacists were overjoyed and even found a way to capitalize on it, much as they did with DOGE merch earlier and are currently doing celebrating the humanitarian disaster brought on by their feverish nightmares and latent homosexual fantasies about racial purity.

      Of course, when the Democrats were threatening camps for the Unvaxxed and calling us the enemy within, and accusing us of contaminating the nation and demanding things like Truth and Reconciliation witch-hunts for their opponents, that was all bad. But when our side does it, it suddenly becomes noble and just.

    Finally, after one of those productive meetings with RNC operatives, the Congress predictably caved in and passed the Budget Act, expanding goals of the Police State which were fashioned under the Biden/Harris Junta, as well as expanding wealth-transfers to Globalist Oligarchs and some cuts to Social Services designed to implement the long-standing goal of creating a Permanent Underclass. 

     These things are the natural consequence of a political strategy that panders to the Lowest Common Denominator while serving an Elite group of Special Interests behind the scenes. The Republicans simply copied the tactics that the Democrats have been employing for years---and, frankly speaking, are working towards the same goals under different labels. The so-called 'New Right' is really only the Reactionary Left, as we've noted here repeatedly. 

     That fact should be obvious given the sheer number of Globalists, Rainbow-Pride activists, and 'former' Democrats that the Administration is overloaded with; as well as the continual promotion of Big Government, top-down solutions, and intimidation of political opponents. Unfortunately, most 'Conservatives' choose to look the other way and pretend that there's really no Uniparty; that the contemporary GOP doesn't really pander to the basest and lowest elements in Human Nature; and that all of these Corporate Oligarchs who were Woke yesterday have had an epiphany and now are working solely and righteously towards to laudable goal of making America Great Again. It should be obvious, but it doesn't seem as though any amount of evidence actually makes a difference to some people. 

       What the Scamdemic was for the Left, this new round of 'national emergencies' is for the so-called 'Right' just as the Scamdemic became the national LARP succeeding the War on Terror and so forth; today we have Big and Beautiful Budgets in place of Building Back Better; MAGA as the follow-up to Hope and Change; etc. It is part and parcel of the Strategy of Tension, and the same social engineers who run that psyop know well the benefit (to them) of the human mind to repeat traumatic experiences. This ongoing program of creating crises, fomenting panics, and then offering solutions is promoted purposely by both the Corporate Media and the Academic Mafia using proven psychological principles which they've weaponized. The object of all of this is the mass-production of apathy and denial, of course ultimately leading to the acceptance of an authoritarian government. 

     Awareness of the Oligarchy's intentions and methods are the best means of resisting their designs. This is one reason why they are ramming through high-tech schemes like Artificial Intelligence and speeding up implementation of things like Digital ID, contact-tracing, and advanced surveillance. It also, incidentally, is why the Democrats are focusing on Social Service reductions and ignoring Civil Liberties reductions in their pretended opposition: they imagine that they will return to power and want a stronger Government that they can use themselves. Most recently we saw that with Obama's expansion of Bush's policies. Like it or not, we have a Uniparty and it works, not for, but against our interests. All the denial, rationalization, and excuses won't change that fact. 

     

REPLY TO BISHOP STRICKLAND

      So, while most normal Americans were observing St. Valentine's Day by honoring someone special in their lives, our very based and Red-Pilled White House was reminding us all not to forget that the New World Order is on the job.

     Ah, that's some very classy stuff. I almost suspected for a moment that Vox Day had gotten a position in the White House PR Department. It wouldn't be surprising since Vox, along with Andrew Tate, Mencius Moldbug, Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, and Steve Sailer are among the most admired thinkers in the New Right's constellation of intellectuals. 

    One person, however, that the New Right wholeheartedly despises is Pope Francis. The fact that our leaders admire Red-Pill bloggers but hate the Pope speaks volumes about their character in and of itself; but that hasn't caused many Catholics and Christians to stop and think about what they might be supporting.

   Francis has caused an infuriated backlash by having the temerity to suggest that treating groups of people as subhumans and behaving like bullies and thugs wasn't consistent with Christ's teachings. The Pope outlined his views in a letter to the US Catholic Bishops.

   While most of the Bishopric took the Pope's words to heart, a few dissented. Bishop Joseph Strickland, former Vicar of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, penned a rebuttal of sorts which was published at LifeSite News which, since January 20th, seems to have turned into a 24/7 Praise-a-Thon for the Neocon Wing of the Uniparty. Strickland himself was removed from office by Pope Francis in 2023: for some inexplicable reason doing things like calling the Pope "a diabolically disoriented clown" and suggesting that Francis is an Antipope in the service of Satan caused the Vatican Hierarchy to think that Strickland might not be as committed to the Mission of the Church as he should be.

  Strickland's article only lightly touched on the issues raised in Pope Francis' letter; for the most part the article was attacking the Pope for not speaking out against Biden's policies. Actually, Francis did criticize Biden's policies occasionally---especially Biden's exacerbation of foreign wars---but this wasn't enough to suit Strickland who disingenuously argues that the Pope wasn't intervening enough on the right causes. Granted, the Pope has taken some positions that deserve criticism, but none of these were in the substance of Francis' letter to the Bishops.

   When Strickland does get around to mentioning immigration, he says: "the Catholic Church recognizes the legitimacy of sovereign nations enforcing just immigration laws. While the Church calls for humane treatment of migrants, it does not demand open borders or the abolition of deportation policies."

   The obvious objection here is that Francis acknowledged that Nations had a right to enforce immigration laws and never advocated for Open Borders or the abolition of deportation policies. 

   "One must recognize the right of a nation to defend itself and keep communities safe from those who have committed violent or serious crimes while in the country or prior to arrival," Francis wrote, "This does not impede the development of a policy that regulates orderly and legal migration. However, this development cannot come about through the privilege of some and the sacrifice of others. What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly."

   The whole idea of 'Open Borders' is a hoax created in Neocon and Neo-Nazi echo-chambers, which evidently Strickland has bought into. He likewise has no criticism anywhere in his article of the inhumane treatment of immigrants, which was the substance of Francis' appeal. For a cleric who complains so fervently about Francis' supposed silence on social issues, Strickland doesn't seem overly bothered by the New Right's continual references to immigrants as subhumans; nor do I recall him ever lifting a word in protest over his own state's brutality in dealing with immigration.

   "There has long been a concern about the Church’s financial ties — particularly with globalist organizations — as well as concern about government funding and wealthy donors who have a vested interest in certain political outcomes." Strickland asserts, "Especially in the case of immigration, there is a large financial element at play. The Catholic Church in the United States receives significant government funding to assist migrants and refugees through Catholic Charities and other organizations. Stronger immigration enforcement means less funding for these programs which is undoubtedly a large factor in the Vatican’s stance." 

   While the Vatican admittedly has been too cozy with Globalist interests, Strickland is being a bit disingenuous in suggesting here that the Republican Wing of the Uniparty is not. That aside, however, Strickland is repeating another canard circulated widely by the Controlled Opposition: namely, that the Church's sole reason for providing relief to immigrants and refugees is from purely cynical and mercenary motives. If this were so, the Church wouldn't be seeking alternative sources of support for their work in the face of persecution, nor would they be engaged in charitable activities abroad in impoverished counties. 

   Strickland concludes by stating that "Pope Francis’ reluctance to address grave moral issues raises legitimate concerns about whether financial and political interests outweigh doctrinal fidelity on the part of the Vatican," which sounds more like psychological projection than anything else. 

   Let us face facts here: the very things that Strickland accuses Pope Francis of 'ignoring' are the very things that the Neocons whom Strickland supports have done. He chides Francis for not speaking out against abortion (Francis has, in fact, spoken out about it), but hasn't a word of condemnation for Trump's commitment to veto an abortion ban nor his tolerance of States performing late-term abortions, nor his shamelessly taking donations from pro-abortion groups. He snorts that Francis has looked the other way and tolerated homo 'marriage' (another hoax, Francis has supported traditional marriage as legitimate); but doesn't seem troubled that Trump hosted such farcical 'weddings' in his own home, raised funds from homo activist groups, or appointed more of these types to high office than Biden did. 

   Of course, it's an exercise in futility to try explaining any of this to these Good German types of Catholics whose willingness to sacrifice their fellow-believers to save their own skins is a disgrace to everything Christianity stands for. Like their kindred-spirits in 1930s Europe, they want to pretend that a national movement predicated on ruthlessness, aggression, and brutality is going to let them live in peace if they just bow and scrape hard enough. Such a policy doesn't work with neurotics and fanatics as they may well learn to their sorrow.
