This weekend, over 100,000 Yemeni citizens gathered in the capital of Sanaa to demand the Wahhabi government abdicate in favor of Yemen's legal president Ali Saleh. Saleh was forced from office in 2012 as part of Obama's and Clinton's so-called Arab Spring. Saleh's supporters---over the objections of the Beltway and Wall Street---reinstated his party, which led to a US-backed invasion led by the Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia.
This weekend's protest was met with a typically barbaric Wahhabi response: the Saudi Air Force launched air strikes near the demonstrations. There were an unknown number of casualties, though at least three were killed by the bombs and numerous others killed or injured in the subsequent stampede.
Wahhabi atrocities in Yemen have reached such a level that even our Rainbow-Pride Pentagon is feeling the pressure to downplay its own involvement in these crimes. Speaking from a US Naval Base in Bahrain---another country suffering from Wahhabi oppression---one Lt. Ian McConnughey stated to the press that 'fewer than five' US personnel were now involved in the Saudi-led Coalition in Yemen.
"The cooperation we've extended to Saudi Arabia is modest and not blank check." reiterated Adam Stump, a spokesman for the LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon.
Saudi forces have been directly implicated in hundreds of civilian deaths in Yemen, mostly targeting Yemeni Shiites and Christians. Their policy of ethnic cleansing seems particularly directed at children: schools, hospitals and orphanages not being spared. The United Nations recommended sanctions against Saudi Arabia, which were blocked by the US and Wahhabi-controlled countries. Three days after the sanctions were withdrawn, the US concluded a lucrative arms deal with the Saudis.
Has the treacherous Obama actually decided to slink away from Yemen and throw his allies under the bus as he's done elsewhere? Not really. The military draw-down in Saudi Arabia merely involves transferring personnel to Bahrain; one of the Saudis' coalition partners in Yemen. The Pentagon is also upping arms sales to the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait---who are in turn allied with the Saudis.
This military draw-down is all for show. Last week, Saudi jets bombed a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders which caused a huge stir in Europe. Obama, who needs European support in the Middle East, took these actions for the benefit of the European Press. The other reason is that the Saudi-led Coalition, supplied with the latest Pentagon weapons and US military advisors, is meeting spirited resistance from Yemeni forces. The Yemenis have practically no outside help and yet have fought the Wahhabis to a standstill after nearly 18 months of fighting. This is bad advertising for future US military sales.
If anything, Obama's policy shift is Yemen is one of overt-to-covert aid for the Wahhabi Regime. The Wahhabis can now behave with even greater impunity, since they no longer even need US diplomatic cover. But the bright spot is that Yemen is showing sign of capitulating to the Wahhabis, and the region is rapidly turning from the 'Arab Spring' into the 'Arab Vietnam' for the Beltway and its confederates.
The Neo-Nazi rulers in what is left of Ukraine are mulling the possibility of declaring martial law. The pretext for this move is an alleged threat from Russia---actually caused by a failed terror attack in Crimea tied to Ukrainian officials. The Regime's approval ratings among the Ukrainian people are at all-time lows. But the Ukrainian Army---mostly a mercenary force made up of European Skinheads and Wahhabi Jihadists---remain loyal.
This week, DC Leaks exposed 2,500 secret documents from the Soros Foundation, which complicated matters for the Kiev Regime greatly. George Soros, one of the Wall Street Oligarchy, has been implicated deeply in intrigues favorable to Kiev. In the first batch of leaked files we learned that Soros purchased interest in the Ukrainian media and built a network between them and select international news outlets to slant foreign opinion to favor Kiev. In the next batch, we discovered that Soros lobbied the European Union for a bailout to stabilize the Ukrainian economy---though not disclosing to the EU that Wall Street insiders whom Soros coordinated were buying Ukrainian interests at rock-bottom prices first.
Today we learned that shortly after the 2014 coup, Soros met with top US and Ukrainian officials; and in fact basically dictated policy to them. Soros held a series of meetings with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt. Pyatt stated in the leaked document that US Secretary of State John Kerry "would be interested to hear Soros' views on the situation."
"What should the US government be doing differently than it is currently doing?" Pyatt asked---not of the President or the American people, but of a Wall Street hedge-fund manager. To which Soros replied:
"Obama has been too soft on Putin, and there is a need to impose intelligent sanctions. These sanctions should be imposed for 90 days; or until Russia recognizes the new government."
So how do our European readers like that revelation? The higher prices you pay thanks to EU sanctions came to you courtesy of a Wall Street market-manipulator. And, as a side note, Wall Street's profit-margins have jumped considerably since the sanctions were imposed. And then there is TTIP...
At Pyatt's solicitation, Soros agrees to fund a professional Public Relations firm to organize a global smear campaign against President Putin, facilitated of course through Soros' media channels. He also suggests hiring professional agitators to foment anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine.
These are the same people who, since 2014, have been accusing Russia of doing everything they themselves are guilty of in Ukraine. Where in the US Constitution are unelected financial robber-barons given legal authority over American foreign policy? Nowhere: but it happens because the American people choose to live in denial that it is happening.
It is a fact that must be faced, however. People who have no qualms about sacrificing innocent Ukrainian lives for their own profit will have no scruple about sacrificing American lives either. It is past time that Congress intervened here and launch a meaningful investigation into Soros and his henchmen.
Some readers have recently noted that it is increasingly difficult, and often impossible, to access RT News feeds from our site. This problem is temporary, we believe and not a problem from the blog site.
RT News has been under a sustained and sophisticated cyber attack for the past week. They have technicians addressing the problem. According to sources, the attack originated from a central point in the US and is designed to flood RT's gateways and shut down access.
Kalinsky Security Specialists---the same organization who exposed the NSA ties to the Equation Group, estimates that the RT attack has cost the hackers about a quarter million dollars so far to implement. So obviously it is not the handiwork of a few random cyber-anarchists.
These types of attacks are not new. SANA (Syrian Arab News Agency) is also hit sporadically; typically coinciding with news of a US-backed forces' defeat, or implication in a war crime. As Edward Snowden revealed this week, Russia, Syria, Iran, and China are known targets of The Equation Group.
It's rather ironic that in the last century, it was the countries in Nazi-occupied Europe and later those behind the Communist Iron Curtain who were notorious for jamming and disrupting broadcasts from the Free World. America never bothered jamming Axis or Communist propaganda. The belief then was that the Truth needed no defense; only the lies promoted by freedom's enemies needed protection from closing dissent.
And really the same principle holds today. We don't see these types of attacks aimed at Fox, CNN, MSNBC, or Reuters. It does give one pause to consider who is and who isn't reporting the truth these days.
When we look at our Postmodern Era's military and see the revolting Political Correctness and utter lack of morality or professionalism inherent throughout the entire organization, it is difficult to imagine a time when conditions were the exact opposite. The US military once prided itself on turning boys into men; building character through discipline and taking responsibility and initiative. But that, of course, was an era when the military was still comprised of actual men.
This weekend's entertainment recommendation is another late-Golden Age WW2 series: 12 O' Clock High. The series ran from 1964 to very early 1967 on ABC, and was based on the Academy-Award winning 1949 feature film of the same name. It follows the exploits of the 918th Bomber Squadron in the years prior to the Normandy Invasion. Like many wartime dramas of this period, the producers sought realism, and the series contains extensive WW2 footage filmed from actual B-17 bombers in combat.
The lead character in the series was the squadron commander, General Frank Savage; and later in the series, his protégée Colonel Joe Gallagher. This was an interesting component of this series: in an early episode Gallagher was a failing pilot whom Savage mentored into one his best crewmen---and ultimately the Squadron Commander.
Redemption and character-building are fairly common dramatic themes in 12 O' Clock High. The commanders are frequently faced with moral and ethical challenges in the course of executing their duties; not infrequently they are called upon to lead their subordinates into the right path. Unlike subsequent wartime dramas, this series does not glamorize or disguise the realities of actual warfare. It fairly accurately depicts the wartime pressures men and women faced---from civilian levels to high command.
In our effete era, the idea of personal sacrifice for a higher good and becoming an integral part of a social structure working toward that end is a notion looked upon with horror. The military is, in a society, a microcosm of masculine duty and responsibility which in peacetime translates into the obligation of building civilization as part of a greater whole. This is why in the past fathers were also generally the community leaders---united with other fathers and men in overseeing the security and affairs of their given residences. As our culture began to decline into narcissism and escapism, this infrastructure broke down radically.
As mentioned in other articles, there are many in the Manosphere who talk about reclaiming masculine leadership roles. Yet their attitude is entirely wrong. They fail to understand that male leadership is not simply a matter of posing as an Alpha; it requires an ability to empathize with other men and help groom them into better men. The Game Cultists simply consign those whom they deem non-Alphas to various levels of inferiority to themselves. In 12 O' Clock High, even the lead characters like General Savage had older generals above him who often counseled him. There is a Biblical proverb about "iron sharpening iron" which seems to be a recurrent theme among the men of the 918th. In fact, in one episode Savage supports a bereaved Jewish sergeant who is losing his Faith in God.
Contrary to what these Gamers teach men, a masculine does not simply affect leadership by setting himself apart from and above other men. The genuine leaders of men are those willing to put their skills and words to actual deeds. Savage and Gallagher both lead every mission personally, although technically exempt by military regulations. That's a genuine form of masculine confidence, which the Gamers distort into mere posturing. True masculine confidence is a willingness to take risks and stake one's own life and reputation on the outcome. That obviously involves commitment; another concept the Gamers especially disavow.
12 O' Clock High is available on DVD and for free viewing on Youtube. This series is one of the better WW2 dramas produced. It follows tightly-drawn character profiles, without losing sight of the background of war. Most importantly, it shows men that a moral and ethical code can be maintained even against such a background, if men are willing to work as a team.
Until a series of hostile corporate takeovers in the early 1990s, the American and British news media were universally considered the premier sources of information. The US media was privately owned, and fiercely competitive but each company held to a strong Code of Ethics. In some cases, these ethics were backed by laws. The British media, although an extension of the government, built a reputation for independence and integrity.
In our Postmodern Era, however, where winning at all costs and profit at any price is the name of the game, journalistic ethics are something of an anachronism. Corporate Media outlets do pay some lip service to the idea, like a vague concept they're all supposed to believe in without actually understanding what it actually involves.
Sky News, a British subsidiary of Australian-owned and Wahhabi financed News Corp, is a case in point. Recently, to shore up anti-Russian sentiment in the UK, a Sky News team allegedly travelled to Syria to interview a secret Russian commando squad operating under the suspiciously neo-Nazi sounding code name Vagner. Sky News interviewed two of the soldier-whistleblowers, duly disguised to protect their identity, who informed the press that up to 600 Russians had died in their covert operations, whose deaths had been covered up by the Kremlin.
The only problem with the Sky News story is that it never actually happened quite as presented. The Sky News team never went to Syria; they conducted the interview in Moscow employing two Russian actors for the purpose. Sky News allegedly hired the actors and presented them a script; telling them that the interview was intended to be part of a movie.
One of the actors, Alexander Agapov, became suspicious and recorded part of the interview between himself and Sky News correspondent John Sparks. After Russian television network NTV began investigating the Sky News report, Agapov turned over the recording to NTV for analysis. A team of specialists identified with 85% certainty that the voices in the report matched Agapov's recording.
Sky News vehemently denied any such shenanigans; but it certainly not the first time Murdoch's henchmen at News Corp have been implicated in such incidents. News Corp was at the bottom of a national scandal a few years ago in the UK for obstruction of justice involving a missing girl; and a subsequent investigation found that News Corp's 'inside sources' in high British places involved wiretapping and computer hacking.
Most recently, Sky News was involved in a scandal in Romania, where correspondent Stuart Ramsay interviewed two masked men divulging the illicit arms-smuggling trade in Romania. As it happened, they too were paid actors, and the Romanian government is currently seeking legal action against Ramsay.
Hopefully, since BREXIT, the UK will start putting some of these media outlets under some scrutiny themselves and start holding muckrakers like Murdoch accountable.
Technology-related news has come to the fore recently, with stories of Chinese advances in space, and Freedom-fighters' sophisticated cyber-warfare methods. So naturally, the Manosphere Game Cult has come up with their own technological answer to advance the cause of Civilization and Freedom. One of the leaders of their cult, who writes under the ridiculous name of The Chateau Heartiste suggests that sexbots are the wave of the future.
Sexbots, or more accurately female androids, is a concept that's been floating around among the Red Pills for some time. In 2010, a Japanese scientist developed a fairly life-like artificial girlfriend, which spurred hopes among many Manospherians that real females would soon become obsolete. The current models---available at very steep prices---look somewhat realistic, though lacking in quite a few feminine attributes. Not the least of which are motility and the capacity of rational thought.
But hope springs eternal in the Red Pill bosom. Mr. Heartiste is mulling a plot for an upcoming book---doubtless also available at steep prices---about a future where men fall in love with their comely robots, and spurn the more traditional-type females.
"It's not like the real world isn't serving up daily reminders that sexbots are coming sooner than we think."
Somewhere between the stories of the Yemen Cyber Army causing Saudi military defeats; Wiki Leaks taking down the Clintons, Soros, and the NSA; and the Chinese quantum communications space satellites---somehow we missed these important reminders. But assuming that what Heartiste says is so, it ought to give some pause to these futuristic-minded fellows to consider that both criminal hackers and cyber warriors may also envision the considerable mayhem they can cause with a sexbot.
The Game Cultists see nothing but evil in feminine psychology, and they hope that Artificial Intelligence will correct all of these alleged defects. Some of the commenters on Heartiste's article even go so far as to include artificial womb technology in their idealized robots---as if pregnancy is somehow something separated from feminine psychology. Assuming that all of these things could actually happen (and be within the price range of an average man), the damage that a hacker could do far exceeds what even some the less emotionally stable real-life females could accomplish.
That's an important point that the Game Cultists do not seem to grasp fully: a sexbot is really nothing but a machine. Robots can be programmed and controlled; real females are born with certain psychological tendencies. In other words, there are social boundaries that the average female will not cross---robots will act as they are programmed. The Red Pills who complain so much about females using sex to control men have no idea what damage a weaponized sexual machine can actually do. And make no mistake about it: practically any technology has the capacity to be employed as a weapon.
Heartiste gushes over a futuristic scenario of "a civilization rapidly yielding to a cataclysmic sex market disruption that dwarfs the schism (that) online porn and obesity had caused the prior generation...the sensual and psychological possibilities of sexbot love in context with the cultural upheaval that sexbots would doubtless unleash on advanced hedonistic civilizations."
For a group who is so obsessed with the pornography and marketing industries, it seems strange that none of the sexbot-proponents have considered the actual economic trends of sexual marketing. If one looks at typical female porn stars---admittedly they are pretty girls, but rather generic-looking with little physical differences between them. This is because the pornography industry has taken composites of so-called 'attraction triggers' and found (or photoshopped) women who closely match these generic qualities. So why should anyone assume that mass-marketed sexbots are going to offer a variety of choices? Again, these same people who complain about the lack of sexual options are advocating a solution that will likely end up giving them fewer sexual options.
Heartiste would probably be a lot better served if he'd put his technological theories into something a little more practical. But we're talking here about a guy who's written a Decalogue, of sorts, for the Game Cultists with the rather embarrassing title The 16 Commandments of Poon. Among the gems of relationship advice to men in this landmark article are to keep other women on the side; use fear and manipulation instead of love; and think of yourself always before thinking of her. Small wonder that men who hold such theories find establishing permanent relationships with real women difficult.
So then, are sexbots going to be part of the future? Probably so; there's always going to be a demand for unusual sexual tastes and the pornography industry is always especially quick to employ new technologies. But it is doubtful that sexbots will ever be widely used. Whether the Game Cultists will admit it or not, there are a lot more features in natural women that simply can't be reproduced by machine.
British news services today reported that UK-based Wahhabi Imam Anjem Choudary was convicted today of inciting support for terrorism. Choudray's henchman, Mohammed Rahman, was convicted in July. The duo face up to 10 years in prison.
Choudary had claimed innocence on the grounds that he was simply exercising freedom of speech and worship; the fact that 500 known disciples of his later joined ISIS notwithstanding. The Imam protested the court's decision quite vehemently.
"If you look at my speeches, I have been saying the same thing for 20 years." he fumed to the press, "For me this a matter of freedom of worship. If you cannot speak when you believe in something and cannot share that view, then you really don't have freedom of expression in this country."
And we well know by now, of course, ISIS' profound respect for freedom of worship and free expression. But even that aside, the Imam has a point: for 2o years he was able to escape British justice. But that was before BREXIT.
Under the arcane and corrupt procedures of the European Union, it is extremely difficult for one country to punish a foreign national for seditious and treasonable acts. However, now as a sovereign nation free to protect its own national interest, scoundrels like Choudary can no longer hide behind supranational protocols.
Some Libertarians might argue that governments have no right to curtail dangerous speech; and given some of the excesses committed under the name of Political Correctness in the West, their position is understandable. But Political Correctness is aimed at undermining social stability, just as Sedition is. It has been a legal maxim since Roman times that Public Safety is the Primary Law. This is an important distinction to observe, since it is widely ignored in our culture.
Many political and social commentators---including a fair number in the Manosphere---hide behind the sophistry that their words do not translate into actions. The British Imam was claiming essentially the same thing: that he was simply 'educating' people about the Jihad, and that he could not be held responsible if some of his followers became ISIS killers as a result.
This has never been a legal excuse, nor should it be. It is a fundamental legal principle in every civilized society that one who incites others to crime, is an accessory to that crime. Legal disclaimers and sophistries that one's words are descriptive, not prescriptive, are no argument. The motive behind such words are what distinguish Sedition from the false Cultural Marxist principle of hate speech. So-called 'hate speech' is legally protected in a free society; deliberate incitement to criminal activity and violence is not. In today's culture, we have the legal status of Free Speech exactly reversed.
And not only civil law, but the laws of major religions teach the same thing. The New Testament uses the term 'Sedition' to describe the same act in a moral sense. Thus, when the Game Cultists in the Manosphere incite violence towards women and use Christianity as a cloak for doing so; they are just as morally guilty as those who translated their descriptions into prescriptions. This British Imam is no different because, unless we are mistaken, the Koran teaches the same thing relative to Islam.
The direction in which Britain is moving post-BREXIT is towards a reclamation of the fundamental principles of Western Civilization. British independence seems, as of now, a genuine reform movement; not a reactionary movement as its opponents claimed. Hopefully, the future will see some more positive developments from Britain.
