A RAY OF HOPE AMONG THE YOUNGER SET

      Yesterday, among the recommended channels I keep getting from Youtube, one vlog popped up titled The Male Loneliness Epidemic. The subject interested me, and the hostess was very cute😇 so I decided to hear what she had to say. I don't know much about her but she does have a large subscription base. From what she said, I get the impression that her politics are Left/Progressive: but to my amazement, this girl gets it.

   She actually covers much of what we've spoken of here: the commodification of relationships; the rise of the Red Pill/Alt Right, etc. On this last issue, she was especially prescient: "Twelve year-old white boys on Twitch are not being pulled into Fascism because of some Machiavellian desire to preserve and expand their privileges. It's because the Right talks to them and the Left doesn't." "It's all systemic issues and societal factors until the Left talks about men, then it's 'pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.'" And that's just a couple of the highlights. 

   All of which is true, and it's especially refreshing hearing it from a Leftist perspective. It's encouraging because it shows that younger women like this are waking up to the lie that they've been fed all of their lives. She likely grew up after the Clinton Co-Presidency's "Gender Wars" and where Feminist supremacy and toxic masculinity devolved into a New Normal. The Wall Street Oligarchs pulling the wires on the Clinton Administration of course cared nothing for women's rights anymore than the ones pulling the current Junta's wires do. In fact, radical Feminism served it's purpose by alienating and weakening men, eroding families, and depressing wages; and so it was quickly discarded in favor of the Homo Agenda once the Biden/Harris Junta was installed as the National Government. 

  Younger women like these are beginning to see through the Lie that is postmodern America. Growing up in a world where the State promoted 'female empowerment' and 'believe all women' and 'bring-your-daughters-to work days,' they came to maturity in a culture which suddenly found them as expendable as it had men before. Those of us who grew up in the 80s well recall that the Corporate bosses and politicians once praised the indispensability of the American working man. 

   Then, a few years later when the same wealthy business interests could outsource jobs to low-wage foreign labor pools and found that women could fill the new service and tech economy at 75% of what they paid men, all of us unemployed and unemployable men were tossed aside like so much garbage. Today's women are experiencing much the same thing. The Corporate interests are discarding them in favor of the Homo Agenda, by their own admission, because homosexuals and transsexuals have fewer familial concerns and tend to support their own communities. Thus, an 'LGBTQ-friendly' corporation has by definition a more loyal workforce.

   The bottom line here is something that the hostess actually observed: "Because feeling alienated under Capitalism apparently isn't a thing." The Corporate Cartels are not worried in the least about the quality of life of citizens or workers, a point that we and others have made here before about exactly what kind of sham 'democracy' we really live under. FYI, for anyone concerned about 'homo equality' that group will get discarded too; once these Corporate Oligarchs have perfected AI, robotics, and transhumanist technologies to the point that they don't need human workers so much. 

   "Don't get me wrong: the Republican Party will do nothing to help any of this" she quite truthfully asserts, "but the Right is, at least rhetorically, offering men something other than nothing or the eternal HR department...a lot of men simply feel that they have no purpose."

   That sums up the problem perfectly. As the late blogger Sir Guy said at his site What Women Never Hear pointed out that a man's greatest innate fear is insignificance. We've created a dysfunctional culture where insignificance is imposed on men from birth and wonder why they drop out, take drugs, or end in suicides; if not being lured into the cultish claws of charlatans a la Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Vox Day, Doug Wilson, Rollo Tomassi, ad nauseum. 

  It's really a hopeful sign that an increasing number of young women are seeing through the hypocrisy of Neoliberalism without embracing the other extreme of Alt-RINO neofascism. Women aren't by nature community leaders, however their innate abilities as the future of the human race instinctively knows when a given society is headed on a dangerous course.

LAW AND ORDER PARTY, MY FOOT

    During the last three years, and the last 18 or so months especially, I have become increasingly disillusioned with what passes for a 'Conservative' movement in the United States. We're seeing less and less distinction between Right and Left every day, it seems. True, since Bush Sr.'s day, we've had to deal with Neocons and RINOs; but at least there was an actual populist Conservative faction that would stand up to them on occasion---finally this bore some fruit when President Trump was elected. 

   After Trump was overthrown in 2020, we've seen a new movement brewing on the Right. The "New Right", "Christian Nationalism" various other names are applied to it, but it's simply a more mainstreamed version of the "Alt-Right" that was around in the 2010s. The Neocon wing of the GOP has adopted this new way of thinking because they see it as a 'winning strategy.' We've always referred to the Alt-Right as Alt-RINOs, because---like the Neocons---they're simply reactionary Liberals. That is how they've been able to join forces despite their superficial differences. Take an example like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; who talks and behaves like a stereotypical Alt-Right, Red-Pilled manly Alpha leader while raking in millions in contributions from pro-Establishment jugheads connected with people like the Bush Machine and the Koch Family. 

   Starting with the 2021 Midterms, but really accelerating in 2022, we saw this new philosophy really gaining momentum. It seems like every day there's some new story about some based politician doing something as bad as---or worse than---what we've come to expect from the Whacko Left. This behavior isn't being condemned; it's being praised effusively all across the Internet. Just yesterday, the Republican Governor of Montana signed a Bill banning Tik-Tok statewide. Since when did Cancel Culture, Deplatforming, Censorship, and blatant interference with the Free Market become Conservative values? Of course, Governor Gianforte is an Alt-RINO scumbag from way back; even before he became governor we profiled his attitudes towards free speech and freedom of the press here. Note that back in 2017, we called him part of the 'fringe;' today he's a State Governor, which ought to show us all that this Party has moved in a decidedly unwholesome direction. 

   All throughout 2020/21, we heard the Whacko Left seriously suggesting that those who refuse the Loyalty Vaxx should be frozen out of society; including literally being ejected from it through mass-deportations. Not a few months later, the same targets of this Liberal venom were celebrating governors who stuffed immigrants onto buses and drove them for two days with no provisions and dumped them in snowdrifts. Victor Davis Hanson---one of those who passes on the Postmodern Right as a great intellectual---opined that it was "a teachable moment for pro-immigration Liberals" as if the displacement and maltreatment of a few hundred human beings was something incidental to the whole story. It should also be noted that in 2022, not a single Republican Governor who participated in the aforementioned Scamdemic lockdowns lost his seat as a result. 

   Hanson was back in form the other day, howling his usual jeremiads, this time over the controversy surrounding the downfall of GOP Congressman George Santos. The upshot of Hanson's wailings---which is being echoed all throughout the Controlled Opposition media---is that it's so unfair and so outrageous that the Left gets a free pass when they get caught doing scummy things. Maybe a genuine Conservative approach would be to note that Santos came from a local Party machine that previously gave us such sterling figures as Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, and maybe our side should start vetting its candidates a little better instead of giving knee-jerk support to anybody who posts an 'R' after his name. 

   But, of course, that would be the Conservative approach: standing up like men, owning up that we made a mistake, and tossing Santos out of Congress and into jail where he belongs. But that was yesterday's Conservative approach. 

   

    Paul Gottfried, another product of Conservative, Inc Academia has penned a very pragmatic article warning of The Mad Delusion of Overscrupulous Republicans. According to this self-described "philosopher, historian, and columnist," we shouldn't be too hasty "piling on to their doomed foot soldier," and that "These legislators shouldn’t allow themselves to be diverted from their work by those who urge them to exhibit 'good manners.'" Gottfried argues that, in spite of Santos' "misdeeds and blunders" the Gentleman from New York "is still serving our needs, and the only reason the opposition is screaming against him in hypocritical rage is their hope of reducing the slim Republican majority in the House to the point where it becomes unworkable." 

   So, let's have a look at the 13-Count Federal Indictment to see what a few 'blunders and misdeeds' actually looks like:

  "A 13-count indictment was unsealed today in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging George Anthony Devolder Santos, better known as “George Santos,” a United States Congressman representing the Third District of New York, with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives...

  "Beginning in September 2022, during his successful campaign for Congress, Santos operated a limited liability company (Company #1) through which he allegedly defrauded prospective political supporters.  Santos enlisted a Queens-based political consultant (Person #1) to communicate with prospective donors on Santos’s behalf.  Santos allegedly directed Person #1 to falsely tell donors that, among other things, their money would be used to help elect Santos to the House, including by purchasing television advertisements. In reliance on these false statements, two donors (Contributor #1 and Contributor #2) each transferred $25,000 to Company #1’s bank account, which Santos controlled. As alleged in the indictment, shortly after the funds were received into Company #1’s bank account, the money was transferred into Santos’s personal bank accounts—in one instance laundered through two of Santos’s personal accounts.  Santos allegedly then used much of that money for personal expenses.  Among other things, Santos allegedly used the funds to make personal purchases (including of designer clothing), to withdraw cash, to discharge personal debts, and to transfer money to his associates...

   "In mid-June 2020, although he was employed and was not eligible for unemployment benefits, Santos applied for government assistance through the New York State Department of Labor, allegedly claiming falsely to have been unemployed since March 2020.  From that point until April 2021—when Santos was working and receiving a salary on a near-continuous basis and during his unsuccessful run for Congress—he falsely affirmed each week that he was eligible for unemployment benefits when he was not.  As a result, Santos allegedly fraudulently received more than $24,000 in unemployment insurance benefits."

   This gives a whole new meaning to the term 'cheap politician.' Santos is facing 20 years in the Pen for swiping about $80,000...still a lot of money, but it averages out to $4,000 a year: about a third of what an SSI recipient gets. And he'll have to pay it all back on top of it. 

   Nevertheless, Gottfried's brilliant solution to all of this is offering the Democrats an exchange: swapping one of their corrupt members for Santos' resignation. (Like that's really going to happen). His hands are thrown up in pious horror that, in case of impeachment, Santos' Seat "would most certainly fall to a very left-leaning Democrat," and rhetorically asks "Do our GOP moralists, including pecksniffian critics in the GOP, believe Santos should resign in favor of this likely successor?"

   The answer is no: Santos should resign and the dunderheads in the RNC should do some productive work for a change and replace him with a better candidate. It's not 'a certainty' that a woke Democrat would win; Santos won it himself after all. It hardly gains the Conservative Movement any credibility to spout off about their commitment to 'The Rule of Law' then start circling the wagons around crooks and playing the Victim Card about how "Democrats do it too!" 

  Doesn't right or wrong mean anything to this Party any more? Or have we become like the Left to the point where political correctness is the lens through which everything is examined? I probably agree with Bruce Jenner politically on most issues: that certainly doesn't mean we should support troons as our representatives and spokesmen. 

    Arguments and evasions like those proposed by Hanson and Gottfried aren't fooling anybody; they make us hypocrites and buffoons. Worse still, politicians like Santos, Gianforte, and DeSantis make us dangerous hypocrites and buffoons. As Vox Day, one of the godfathers of the Alt-RINOs said, "We are the Alt-Right and both the Left and the Cucks are terrified of us, because unlike the Cucks and Cons, we are trash that not only punches back, but punches back twice as hard." It may be so; but very few of us oppose Postmodern Neo-Liberalism because we're not getting hit hard enough. 

    We've got to be better than this. We need to win people with Faith and Reason; offering workable solutions to real problems that will benefit everyone instead of mimeographing Democrat extremism and overreach. We need to drop this ridiculous 'Alpha' posturing and start acting like men instead of a bunch of elementary school boys arguing about whose dad can beat up the other kid's dad. That's not how you run a Government. 

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TWITTER TAKEOVER

       So Tech Lord Elon Musk this week engineered a hostile takeover of Twitter, a move which most Conservatives would otherwise criticize had another Corporate Oligarch done. Pundits are calling the move "a great victory for free enterprise and free speech," even though it concentrates an enormous amount of economic power and social influence into the hands of a small directorate. 

     Capitalizing on this latest round of accolades, Musk today criticized the Junta's creation of a Disinformation Governance Board within the Department of Homeland Security. He and other pundits, however, prudently omitted that our last 'Red Tsunamis' brought us approval of Bill Clinton's Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 which 'deregulated' the point where the Media is now 90% controlled by half-dozen transnational Corporate enterprises. Or, that the creation of algorithms and data collection on social media was set up by the Bush Administration which has made de facto censorship of such platforms possible. Or, that a GOP-controlled Congress handed Obama a repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 which prohibited federal interference in the dissemination of domestic news, and so on. 

    Aside from being a very shady character, Musk doesn't exactly have strong Conservative credentials. A really insightful article was posted recently on Open Secrets which catalogues Musk and his Corporate enterprises' records of political financial support. Here are some interesting tidbits which haven't appeared in any of the hero-worshipping puff-pieces written by Neocons: 

    "Since 2002, Musk has given about equally to both Democratic and Republican candidates...The candidate who received the most money directly from Musk is former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel at $55,300... Of the presidential candidates he has financially supported, both were Democrats: Barack Obama in 2012 and Hillary Clinton in 2016."

    I'm not sure how Conservatives reconcile their belief that Musk is a great champion of the Right when the political figures whom he most admires seem to be as far to the Neo-Liberal Left as humanly possible. But as if that wasn't bad enough, the article further informs us that:

   "This election cycle, Tesla has given just over $70,000 to state candidates, almost all toward the California State Assembly or Senate. The only campaign the company has supported outside California so far this cycle is Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s (D) reelection bid with a $2,500 contribution. In the 2020 cycle, Tesla similarly supported predominantly state candidates in California. But the company also threw financial support behind a number of state candidates in Nevada, Hawaii and a handful of other states, as well as Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s (D) reelection bid. In 2018, Musk supported California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) campaign, contributing a total $11,800 in May of that year. He also gave $5,400 to Sen. Dianne Feinstein."  

    Musk is CEO of Tesla and Space X---both of which have multi-billion dollar contracts with the Biden/Harris Junta. It shouldn't be surprising therefore that both companies are major Beltway lobbying powers. Tesla currently retains 18 lobbyists---half of whom are revolving-door former federal bureaucrats; while Space X commands 51 lobbyists, of whom 35 are former government employees. 

    Now the official narrative coming from such 'Conservative' news outlets like Fox News is that Musk represents an alternative of some kind to 'woke' Corporatism. It's probably only a coincidence that they would say so, considering that Rupert Murdoch's son James Murdoch sits on Tesla's Board of Directors. But that aside, we see Musk talking out of both sides of his mouth again: he's listed as the top donor to Bill Gates' very-woke Giving Pledge Campaign.

    Tesla's nominal CEO is Robyn Denholm, an Australian national and former executive in disgraced accounting firm Arthur Andersen, of Enron Scandal notariety. Denholm currently also serves as Chair of the Tech Council of Australia---a nation with some of the most brutally repressive laws against freedom of speech and communications in the West. This group recently signed on as technical advisor to the state of New South Wales: one of the worst lockdown tyrannies on the planet. This seems to be a bit at variance with Musk's alleged opposition to Scamdemic regimes---this and the fact that Musk profited massively during the lockdowns to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.

   Other interesting characters on Tesla's Board include WEF member Hiromichi Mizuno. Mizuno is also one of the architects of the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment Association, an organization heavily influenced by Klaus Schwab's Fourth Industrial Revolution. Ira Ehrenpreis, a 2014 inductee into the International Green Industry Hall of Fame, served as an advisor in Obama's Department of Energy. The Agency was headed then Ernest Moniz (unanimously confirmed by a Republican-controlled Senate), who formerly worked as an advisor for BP, General Electric, and the Saudi Oil monopoly (all WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners). Kathleen Wilson Thompson is also a top executive in Big Pharma conglomerate Walgreens----whose Vice-President is also a member of the WEF. Along with James Murdoch, Larry Ellison is the token Neocon on Tesla's Board. According to his biography:

   "In response to the September 11th terrorist attacks of 2001, Ellison made a controversial offer to donate software to the federal government that would have enabled it to build and run a national identification database and to issue identification cards...Ellison also was critical of NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden, saying that 'Snowden had yet to identify a single person who had been wrongly injured by the NSA's data collection.'" 

    Space X's CEO is WEF member Gwynne Shotwell, who was also part of the Atlantic Council's Captains of Industry series. The Atlantic Council is funded in part by the Junta's State Department, Soros' Open Society Foundation, and lobbyists for the Ukrainian Government. Luke Nosek, founder of WEF partner Pay Pal, also serves on the Board. Open Secrets shows that Nosek is a major donor to major RINOs: Bush Jr, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski and Dana Rohrbacher, etc. Steven Jurvetson, who was also a former Tesla Board member, was appointed by Obama to be Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship in 2016. Donald Harrison of Space X's Board also serves on the Board of WEF Strategic Partner Google, where he is in charge of global partnerships and corporate development. Board Member Antonio Gracias was Obama's Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship prior to Steven Jurvetson. Gracias is also a trustee of the shady Aspen Institute, a major think-tank heavily funded by the Gates Foundation and several other dubious organizations. Aspen's CEO is one Daniel Porterfield, a former Clinton bureaucrat; the other trustees of Aspen read like a Deep State Who's Who. 

   If Tesla and Space X are any indications of the Conservative trend that Twitter is supposedly going to take, we were probably better off under its old management. The examples above are specimens of the kinds of WEF shills, cringing Neocons, and Left-Wing crackpots that Musk is going appoint to the Board of Twitter---make no mistake about that. And there's little doubt that WEF banksters Blackrock and Morgan-Stanley---which combined hold more shares in Twitter than Musk---will have a lot to say about who does what. 

    The Twitter takeover is no victory for the Right. It's business as usual posing as a victory. 

AH, THE LITTLE TROLLS

    So, in our corner of the Blogosphere, a Cold Case we've been following has apparently reached a successful conclusion, at least at the stage of identifying the victim. More details are forthcoming, but so far the mechanics look fairly sound; and as we said in the last post, we're sort of sitting it through as the news breaks. I understand that, by the standards of today's culture, I'm supposed to be angry and butthurt because 3 years of building a theory may have turned out to be wrong. But, meh---that's the breaks. Reverse-engineering a story is a lot more difficult than writing one. 

   The weekend was a bit rougher on the trolls who've stalked the case for a long time. On Thursday, we criticized them in a post; on Friday, they found themselves deprived of a context to throw tomatoes; and it's nearly a week before the end of the month and the prescription refills come in. Here's a specimen of how badly they're starting to spiral:

   That fairly well sums up the spirit of these people. Remember that only a short time ago, these were the same knotheads who were throwing online tantrums at our site: "Well, if he's got all these big revelations why doesn't he publish them?" Yeah, a lot of good that would have done. Imagine all of the Slander, Defamation, and Libel Suits I'd be digging myself out of right now if I'd listened to these dorks. But, I'm sure they wouldn't consider it too small a price for me to pay for their amusement. 

  Our site hasn't had too much of a problem with trolls until recently; the last bunch that really came lashing out were the Red Pill MRAs after a few of them started getting exposed. The 'Internet Sleuths' ought to be a little ashamed to see that they've fallen to the same level as cultists who follow the likes of Vox Day, Chateau Heartiste, and Owen Benjamin. 

  Trolls aren't a new phenomenon in the world; but the rise of the Internet has given them the ability to form communities. The New Testament even talks about them: "gossips, backbiters, envious" is how these types of people were described in the past. True, in many cases, envy is a big component of being a troll; but it's not the only cause. Trolls don't even rise to the level of failures; because someone who fails is someone who at least tries. Oftentimes, failures are learning experiences and the attempts often produce a lot of good results despite the larger goal not being achieved. In contemporary parlance, trolls would be better classified as losers. They are a class of people never produce anything of value. They are passive spectators in life who get their sense of self-worth from lowering others to their level---sort of a passive version of the bully. Inferiority Complexes are typically at the bottom of trolling on a personal level---often with our national narcotics problem fueling the impotent rage.

    Trolls are problem and there's no universal solution to how to deal with them. Ignoring them generally works for most of us. That approach usually causes them to spiral worse until they end up like Vox Day did; just a cackling Boomer blockhead whom nobody pays attention to anymore. Sometimes calling them out and ridiculing them works too. The trolls have no sense of humor, and deflating their egos often makes the other trolls turn against them, like sharks who smell blood. They end up like Dalrock did; where even his enormous ego got so badly blown out that he had to slink away from the public sphere. Trying to reason with them never works because self-righteousness and blind rage are motivating them and clouding their intellects. They crave validation although there's nothing to validate.

   Above all, we can't let trolls affect our own attitudes. We just have to accept that their presence is a fact of life in this imperfect world. Dealing with them is just another unpleasant task like calling Pest Control, or having the septic tank pumped, or filing an insurance claim. Fortunately, simply hitting a 'delete' button usually solves the Troll Problem; and then we can focus on the bigger issues. 

  

YES, TAKING THE RED PILL IS JUST AS BAD

   It took a strong dose of White Boy Summer last weekend to undo the imagery from that horrible video featured in our last post. Our community kicked off its County Fair season with a classic car show, some Monster Truck rallies, and some craft-shows which are ongoing through this week. I took in a lot of pizza, hot-dogs, and ice-cold Coca-Cola checking out the good work a lot of guys did on their vehicles. As for me, maybe in a year or two again (depending upon whether the Republic is still around). I have way too many projects backed up to take on another one. 😇

  The one thing that struck me (though it probably shouldn't have) was how few younger men (say 15-30 or so) were around. It occurred to me afterwards, though that at bottom such displays represent a lot of hard work, imagination, dedication, a certain level of intelligence and skill which led to achievement: things that our current generation of men aren't widely noted for possessing. A depressing poll reported by the Catholic League last week explains a lot of it. Building and creating things are deeply rooted in Masculine nature: it has its correspondence with child-bearing in the Feminine one. Since we've managed to produce a generation of men that doesn't even understand that boys and girls are actually different, it's no surprise that men have basically turned into parasites with no interest in achieving much of anything. 

   There is a minority of young men out there who sense something's wrong; but the Misandry permeating our culture right now---along the scarcity of contemporary positive role models---doesn't offer them much guidance. Blogger Insanity Bytes had a good article lately on the superficiality of so much so-called 'traditional' guidance. She writes:

    "My faith now totally revolves around my performance, mostly how well I perform for YOU, how beneficial my behavior is to YOU...So what is responsible for the decline of America, for the fact that we now have men without chests, for us being so complacent, so easily led by fear? We have been taught to root our faith in an act, in a performance, in a set of Western behavioral standards, in a culture. We’re all very compliant and obedient, tripping over ourselves to win people favor in fact, but obedient to what?? To whom?"

    In a healthy society, men understand that they are first true to themselves, and by extension true to their neighbors and country---ultimately all rooted in being true to God. But we're not a healthy society, and there's been another toxic movement afoot preying on young men. We've spoken of them many times---a loosely confederated online cult which offers men the promise of reclaiming masculinity by swallowing their programs (which they call taking the Red Pill). The Red Pill is dangerous for men because it does exactly what IB describes: it teaches one how to act like a man without actually being one. There are a whole bunch of these saps running around the Web, and they profit off many younger men desperate for any sign of life among American males. 

    "Taking the Red Pill" or following any of these clowns is like walking into a swamp where you see solid ground---until you step on it and fall into a deep pit of foul waters. The Red Pills are the same kinds of low-T creeps that Sam and Colby proved to be in our last article: the only difference is that the Red Pill teaches you how to put up a front to disguise it. These guys always get exposed in the end; because real manhood is manifested in action---not just cheap talk and posing. 

    A great example of this fake manhood in action happened this weekend in a story that went viral in the Manosphere. Mike Schiele, a podcaster and comedian who goes by the name 'Mersh' is a friend of our blog and has exposed a lot of these red-pilled frauds over the years. On Friday night, Mersh was in Tampa with some friends when a Red Pill who goes by the online name of Baked Alaska confronted him in public. We've had occasion to mention this Baked Alaska bozo a few times ourselves, here, here, and here. His real name is Tim Treadstone, and is suspected by many---and not without good reason---of being a paid informant for the Deep State. Mersh has been exposing a lot of Treadstone's shady dealings recently

   Basically what happened is that Baked Alaska appeared with some of his goons (and probably lawyers) live-streaming him calling out Mersh on a public sidewalk, throwing insults, daring Mersh to fight him, etc,---real manly Alpha leader behavior. Especially, since as Mersh pointed out, there were police foot-patrols on both ends of the sidewalk (which Treadwell didn't show in his camera angle). Mersh rightly saw that he was being baited and withdrew from the scene; which has since sent Treadwell off to beating his chest online talking like a he-man. 

   Mersh gave his side of the story on last night's broadcast of Nightwave Radio. He explained that he had a lot to lose by getting into a public brawl with this guy. I agree with Mersh's decision, though I'd certainly be plotting revenge. I sympathize with Mersh because I've been in that situation. Our legal system used to recognize a concept of fighting words. That legal doctrine held that when punks like Treadwell talked their way into getting their butts kicked, it was considered a form of self-defense. A few decades ago, Mersh could have given this thug the punishment he asked for and probably would not even have been charged. But that was then, this is now. Greedy trial lawyers and anti-male activists have so cut down the self-defense laws that scum like these can abuse their betters in public with impunity and a man's only real defense is to take it as stoically as possible. 

  That, however, is another topic. The point here is that Treadwell exposed the shallowness of the Red Pill more than anything else. This isn't how real men act; this is how passive-aggressive little dirtbags acted in Middle School who'd provoke other guys into fights and set it up beforehand so that the other guys got in trouble for it. Passive-Aggressiveness is apparent in both Baked Alaska's video and the video in the previous article. In the previous story, Sam and Colby talked all tough until the moment of truth came and they showed themselves cowards. In this case, Baked Alaska hid behind the protection of a system that he's gaming and talked tough without having to look like a coward. That's all the Red Pill is really about; faking it and putting up a facade without ever having to prove oneself either with words or deeds. 

   The Red Pill is really a concomitant of Feminism and depends upon a 'deconstructed' masculinity for its success and promotion. Our culture promotes passive-aggressiveness in men. It depreciates everything truly masculine as 'toxic' and makes heroes out of both feminized men and out of bully-boys as well. Look at pro sports: the cheat who plays dirty and wins-at-all-costs is idolized and so is the limp-wristed openly gay player and losers like Colin Kaepernick. Look at the military: punks who sit behind consoles and launch missiles on defenseless peoples are war-heroes today; so are the brave men and women in uniform* who are purging so-called 'toxic masculinity' from our ranks. Look at Corporate America; the woke CEO is the new model businessman; the perverts in HR and PR departments are also hailed as business leaders. And look at our Government: the conniving, go-along-to-get along Conservative is supported by one faction, the Leftist promoting the Great Reset is supported by the other. Fair play, standing for principle, the courage of a conviction---these masculine qualities are laughed at, if not openly persecuted. 

   Young men today need to be aware of this false dichotomy and avoid falling into the Red Pill trap. Online today when you see men talking about getting red-pilled, becoming 'Alphas' or learning 'Game', it's best to turn and head in the other direction. Remember that in the past there were men who became men in spite of negative social circumstances too. What many boys and young men did was to pick leaders of the past---the kinds of men whose statues the Liberals are destroying---and learn about them. Take them as your role models. (It's recommended that you try and read material on them published before 1980 or so; which are usually free of PC biases in the writings). Granted it's harder to become a man today anywhere in the Anglosphere than ever before. But men are so constituted that the greater the obstacle overcome the more secure one becomes in his true strengths.

(*this term, BTW, was started as a public talking-point by George Bush Jr.; who incidentally campaigned on a promise to reverse the feminization of the military started by the Clintons. Previously, Conservative pundits had a stock phrase, "our brave men in uniform" but the Right quickly forgot all about that. We might recall that Bush made it a point in nearly every speech to emphasize that the Taliban "didn't let girls go to school" that's even worse to most Conservatives than training and equipping international terrorists who kill Americans). 

   

 

THE RED NIGHTMARE

      A generation or so ago, when Hollywood still did things for the public good, it and the Kennedy Administration pooled their resources and produced a half-hour film called The Red Nightmare. It was shown both on television and in movie theaters and was a huge hit nationwide. What it depicted was an average American husband, father, and worker who "took his rights for granted" and one night dreamt of awakening to find his community under Communism control. Despite its age, the film still lives up to its title. My own review of it a few years back reads that "it's like taking a dose of strong coffee for sociopolitical lethargy. The horrors of life in a society where Individual Rights no longer exist are depicted as vividly as any real-life nightmare." 

   Tomorrow is Election Day in the United States. How fair this Election is going to be is anybody's guess. It comes down basically to one side who wants to stay the course of reforming and rebuilding our Republic and another determined to impose its New Order upon us---and ultimately the world---at any cost. 

  I referenced the Red Nightmare film because several Conservative pundits have spoken of the threat of An America under Biden. Though these writers mean well, the truth is that there will be no 'Biden's America' should the Enemy win tomorrow. Joe Biden is an old Democratic Party apparatchik whose political impact in the US has had no significance since the 1990s. He was chosen by the Insurgents because he represents a legitimate political party in the public mind and was the only candidate who could campaign as at least a somewhat traditional Democrat. Once he's elected, he'll have served his purpose and will likely move on to his next role as a 'martyr' a la Lincoln and Kennedy. 

   What we will see with an Insurgent victory is an immediate wiping out of all the gains we've made during the last four years. The Scam-demic and the fake race-riots should have taught us all what to expect if the Left steals this Election. Lockdowns, house-arrests without Due Process, seizures of key industries, travel restrictions, wearing distinctive marks, etc. will move from so-called Emergency Orders to a Way of National Life. 'Quarantines' will become Concentration Camps. Churches will be closed and the Swamp Creatures that Trump has locked up will be released to run even more draconian and ideologically-based schools and so-called 'community policing' (i.e. a secret police). 

   Listen, dummies: and try to let this sink into your thick skulls. This isn't some whacked-out Internet Theory, these are the Elites' own stated goals and they've even dedicated considerable time and money to put their dystopian schemes into actual practice. True, the Elites lie about a lot of things, but they're very proud of what they intend to do (and are doing). Contact tracing, gun control, internet censorship, speech laws, travel permits, economic dictatorships: that's what you're going to submit to for supposed 'security' and 'equality'. Narcotics will be freely available---in fact, their use even encouraged---but tobacco, alcohol, and even the foods you wish to eat will be highly restricted, if not banned outright. 

  And don't imagine for a moment that the Elites have forgotten about demolishing traditional families and gender roles, even though out of necessity such topics had to be dealt with quietly during the Scam-demic. The Elites' long-term goals in supporting things like Feminism and Homo Rights is merely a transitional step until the Family is destroyed and can be replaced with Hillary Clinton's It Takes a Village model of raising NPCs in state-run asylums 'care centers.' Hillary's plan is, in turn, based on the degenerated theories of a mad scientist named B.F. Skinner who died in 1990. Skinner was an obvious crackpot, but intelligent enough to build a significant cult-following of Liberal academics, technocrats, and social-workers. An electoral win for the Left tomorrow will put his loony disciples back in control of social policy and education. 

    Anyone else who still want to pretend that this could never happen in a Democracy, take a good look at Australia because this is our planned future:

   "At time of writing, the state of Victoria is facing perhaps the developed world’s most oppressive and mean-spirited overreaction from the government in response the COVID virus. Police in riot gear are forcefully clearing out farmers markets, harassing elderly women for sitting on a park bench, snatching infants in strollers from fathers, and fining people for catching a bus without a ‘work permit.’ In the modern town of Ballarat, a pregnant woman in her pajamas is handcuffed and arrested in her own home over a Facebook post promoting a peaceful protest, in a town not even under the severest level of lockdown. She was charged with ‘incitement’ similar to a terrorism charge, and could face 15 years in jail. People are being threatened with fines for merely ‘liking’ a Facebook post. Meanwhile parliament has voted to suspend itself, giving dictatorial powers to the Premier under a so called “state of emergency”. The people are under an 9:00 p.m. curfew, and are only allowed out of their homes to exercise for two hours a day in their local neighborhood." (Foundation for Economic Education, Oct. 2020). 

     Part of the reason that America needed Trump in the first place is because---for far too long---we elected and tolerated these Deep-State Scum even though we knew full well what they were and what they would do. Their losses in 1980 and 2016 have taught them the incompatibility of Constitutional Democracy and their Authoritarian agendas. If they return to power in 2020, they will institute measures to insure that they will never be voted out of power again. 

    This is what we're facing; and why 2020's Election is so important. The Corporate Media has tried to dupe the public into believing that this is a contest between Trump's and Biden's personalities. The reality is that it is designed (by the Left) to be merely another step in the Revolution they launched with the Impeachment, the Scam-demic, the orchestrated riots, etc. 

   If our side emerges victorious tomorrow, the battle isn't by any means over. I don't know what the Insurgents have up their sleeves as a contingency plan in case that should happen; but whatever it is, it's no good. The one thing we can be certain of is that they have no intention of gracefully accepting defeat. The President seems to have some foreboding of what it will involve.

   However, we'll counter whatever the Left has planned. The important thing now is to keep a sharp eye on tomorrow's events and results. 

 

   

OF CASSEROLES AND CHUMPS...

     If there were any reliable scholars left in American Academia, the first half of this year would be a textbook case study on mob psychology. Or possibly on both political incompetence or journalistic ineptitude, depending on one's field of specialty. As for myself, I live in a predominantly pro-Trump area so things have been quiet here. Yesterday, after doing laundry, I searched through my late Granny's recipe box and made a delicious casserole before settling down and watching the riots on Youtube. It may be a guy thing; but there's something satisfying about enjoying a good dinner, a cold beer, and a nice cigar while looking down from your perch on idiots beating each other up. 

   I mean, we are exactly 26 days away from an obscure Church holiday called the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. I learned as a mere stripling from my ever-watchful nuns in school that this holiday marks the midpoint of the year. And, as a side note, that the herb St. John's Wort is at the peak of it's potency when gathered on that night: especially if there's a Full Moon---which in June is known as the Strawberry Moon. But this is all lore from an unenlightened era before the End of History and more sophisticated thinking came about, probably too containing subtle racist overtones...etc.

  This year has seen so far some incredible spectacles. First, people swept like locusts over stores, stripping them of toilet paper, bottled water, and other items that wouldn't help anybody in the least during an Influenza Epidemic. Then these same nitwits begged for martial law and stayed cooped up at home for two months while the Middle Class more or less disintegrated. And then an unarmed Black man who was remembered as a gentle giant got himself arrested in Minneapolis for passing counterfeit money. and died while in police custody. Even though the incident hasn't even been investigated, Ameroboobs were outraged after the disturbing images went through social media. And thus, the economic enterprises which managed to survive the curfews, lockdowns, and other official persecution are getting burned to the ground on behalf of someone whom none of these protesters ever knew in real life. 

  

    Careful, there, Bro...actually telling the truth can get you into a lot of trouble these days. When I saw the video and heard the suspect saying, "I can't breathe!" I wondered myself how he managed to speak without respiration. But, as seen during the hoardings and the lockdowns, Americans these days want action instead of thinking. 

   In fact, Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, announced yesterday that there there is no evidence that the suspect was asphyxiated. Which means that all of these riots are for nothing; and that once again Americans have made themselves an international laughing-stock. 

   “The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death,” the medical examiner reported. That story seems to have slipped past much of the MSM, however. It should be noted that Dr. Baker holds a nonpartisan office and is regarded as one of the top Forensic Pathologists in the United States. From what I've seen so far, he's about the only top government official in the Twin Cities who has any idea of what he's doing. 

   As far as Minneapolis itself goes, the mayor seems to be sulking in a Safe Space after the hurtful words coming from President Trump, who---to the Whacko Left's great horror---is saying that the City should actually consider using some kind of force to defend itself. The leadership, such as it is in Minneapolis, isn't exactly the sort to strike much fear into anybody other than the NPCs who voted them into office in the first place. 

   Seriously, those pictures look like they were taken at Carl the Cuck's Family Reunion. Minnesota needs some robust leadership right now and these three clowns don't appear at all up for the job. It took a foreign news service (no surprise) to ask these dorks if just maybe the policies of these idiots was a contributing cause. There are around 40-80 or so million of nonessential Americans who've been bullied, humiliated, shamed and impoverished by people like Walz, Frey, and Arradondo for the last three months---it could be that a fair measure of this violence could be directed at them. It does seem as though government, media outlets, and big box stores have been targeted a little more than usual. 

  It's going to take some time afterwards to sift out all of the underlying causes here; but, regardless the Elites aren't going to let a good crisis go to waste. That's true especially of crises that they instigated in the first place, of which this is probably one. Maybe they figure we need a good Summer of Rage before starting a Second Pandemic? The Elites can have a lot of fun getting the people to shelter in place and burn it all down, man: at alternate times. Heck, they could even time these things to fiscal quarters so that they can short-sell on the Stock Market and cash in personally too.

  Of course, all of this kind of speculation will get dismissed as tin-foil-hat level, pants-on-fire conspiracy stuff with subtle undertones of racism influenced by Bronze-Age bigots and Dead White Males. The best we can do right now is to remember that some things never change, and those things are what make Reality---not the crisis of the moment. The teachings of St. John the Baptist, beach trips with the Fair One, the Strawberry Moon, herbs that flower on schedule, and our Grandmothers' casseroles... these are the things that have actual permanence. 

    

  
  

LARPING THROUGH THE COVID SCARE WITH THE CULTS

   The Whacko Left Wing might be screaming the loudest lately, but the obnoxious cults we've been tracking lately haven't exactly been quiet either. Red Pill nutcase Augustus Invictus has been paroled citing Quarantine nonsense: though why the authorities think he's less dangerous to society than a pandemic wasn't explained. On a brighter note, though, notorious Manosphere jughead Chris Cantwell---who managed to talk himself into jail after the Charlottesville incident---has repeated that amazing feat and talked his way into jail again. The judge in New Hampshire has refused to let him out or even post bail because of his recidivism---which has Cantwell and other Red Pills fuming.

   And speaking of Charlottesville veterans, John Denton of Atomwaffen also found his way into the slammer along with his pal, vlogger John William Kelley. These two based and redpilled nitwits got caught by the FBI for engaging in a campaign of 'swatting' both real and perceived enemies of theirs. According to the Indictment, at least 134 fake 911 calls were generated by these guys. The only thing that Denton and Kelley will be swatting for the foreseeable future are the rockpiles they'll get to work on. 

  Meanwhile, Owen Benjamin has just about crowned all of his other crimes by predicting that the Elites are about unveil the Antichrist by means of holograms. 

   This technology has been around for 30 or so years; so I doubt that it would fool anybody. Teenaged boys are actually making holograms with their smartphones these days. Owen is crazy enough to believe that they could; but just in case a 3D Image of Christ appears to you, remember His Words: "Touch me and feel me and see; for a ghost has no flesh and bones as you see that I have." Then take some Pepto-Bismol and go back to bed.

   To give a specimen of Owen's credibility, he claimed in the same video that devils and 'goblins' inspired a beer commercial designed to torment him. Owen's own evil genius Vox Day has been on a full-fledged rampage and is also seeing and hearing demons.

  "This crisis is not primarily one of disease. There is a very good reason why the spiritually sensitive around the world have been reporting an increase in demonic activity worldwide...But there is no need for despair. Is it not conflict that confirms our purpose? The more the face of evil is revealed, the more it underlines the reality, indeed, the absolute necessity, for our faith in Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is not those who are devoted to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True who are breaking down and crying on air. It is not those who worship at the Cross who are cracking under the strain. The demons are raging because they, their master, and his human slaves are all being defeated."

  This guy still hasn't figured out that we're not playing a video game here. While I agree that many of our so-called Elites are behaving like demons right now, they're not exactly being met with defeat. And while trusting God is important; sitting on one's hands and pretending that God is so impressed with spouting hate and violence like Vox routinely does that He will protect you is just delusional. As Vox said just that same day: "It's clear from this review that the Q narrative has provided a considerably more reliable map with which to anticipate future events than the establishment news narrative has. The one thing that is obviously missing is Corona-chan, which has proven to be a much more useful tool than any of those that were previously conceived." Not only has Agent Q been wrong numerous times, it's hardly a Christian position to applaud a pandemic as a means of Global/Ethnic Cleansing.

  "At this rate, we're going to be in full martial law, with nary a suspected cabalist showing their face in public and dozens of celebrity, political, and corporate deaths reported, and you'll still insist it's all just a coincidence." says the Supreme Dark Lord, displaying his "Christian" spirit once again.

  "The wizards have cast a fear spell." pontificates one of the VFM, "They won't be satisfied until they get news footage of someone being trampled to death at a Walmart as a stampede forms over a new shipment of toilet paper. They want everyone locked in their homes until next year. It will destroy the economy and facilitate massive mail-in voter fraud...As for Fauci, he's Cabal, so what do you think Trump is gonna do to him? "

  "All that remains now is default/jubilee, and we can get on with building the world the right way." says another. 

  Assassins, wizards, utopians---this sounds more like Dungeons and Dragons than The Imitation of Christ. How is sending men out to beat their chests and brag about what Alphas they are supposed to stop this unprecedented attack upon our Civil Liberties? 

  But for a great genius who thinks he's fit to rule The New World Order, Teddy Spaghetti got himself caught in another scandal. It seems that a Wordpress blogger called The Disenchanted Scholar caught Vox red-handed plagiarizing large portions of her writings. Given Vox' status as a Manly Alpha Leader, and his repeated insistence that women are unfit even to vote or go to school; this revelation is quite scandalous. The chumps who follow him have been listening to---and roundly cheering---female advice for a long time. 

    It's also ironic considering that only recently Vox was encouraging his followers to doxx, flag, and report his enemies who quote or represent him without his permission. It's also a violation of Blogger's Content Policy--- this I know, because only a few weeks ago, Vox' spies were scanning old articles of mine with Plagiarism Detection sites hoping to find some 'dirt' to report to Blogger. They weren't successful; and I certainly don't pull the same tactics myself. But I would think that Disenchanted Scholar might have a good cause. Just an observation...we'll see where it all goes; but at the very least, this latest scam of Vox' ought to wake up a few of his followers.
