THE AMERICAN FAT FARM

     Here in the Prozac Nation, a new study published in the Journal of American Medicine revealed yet another of the growing health issues facing America's youth. Obesity rates among the 12-18 age group have now hit an alarming 21% of that demographic. One would assume that this and several other reports of high addiction, suicide rates, infant mortality, and infertility would be a major topic of discussion over here, but apparently only the Chinese Media thought it worthy of mention. Their editors also stated the obvious: "Treatment strategies vary, but lifestyle modification remains the cornerstone. Effective interventions include dietary changes, increased physical activity, and behavioral counseling." Ultimately, parents have the responsibility for the physical and mental health of children and legal minors; however pointing out parental failures is probably not an ideal way to flatter the public for votes during an Election Year. 

    It should be noted that in the clinical sense that JAMA is using the term, obesity is not the same as overweight. Heaven only knows how many fall into the latter category, which is also unhealthy. Evidently the situation has gotten so bad since I studied any medical science that the World Health Organization has had to add new categories for hyper-obesity.

        The Public Schools and politically-correct politicians likewise have failed our youth in this respect. In the early 1960s, now-Dead White Males led by President John F. Kennedy mandated a program in the school system to ensure the health of future generations, which included health education in addition to actual physical training. The program was abandoned by Neocon George Bush Sr. who saw it as a waste of money and later by the Clinton Co-Presidency who thought it wasn't inclusive enough. There have been a few half-hearted attempts to promote public health in schools, most notably under Obama; but these were mostly publicity stunts and there has been no political focus on the problem since the 2010s and no real policy on the subject since the 1980s. 

      JAMA is, of course, published by the American Medical Association which has deep ties to both Big Pharma and to the Insurance Cartels; so naturally their proposals call for more top-down solutions and expensive medical procedures instead of good parenting and better education. Wall Street is never one to let a good crisis go waste when there is an opportunity to enhance stakeholder profits.

    Likewise, there appears to be no popular will to address the problem either, considering how so-called Fat Acceptance has become a New Normal in American standards of beauty. Like Gender Dysphoria and Drug Addiction, most Americans seem to imagine that pretending there are no health risks will make the problem go away by ignoring or denying it. 

    However, Reality does have a bad habit of making itself felt whether people ignore it or not. Four-fifths of Americans aged 18-24 are unfit for military service, even by the Pentagon's abysmally low standards. Infertility rates are causing a decline in future work forces which will have to support an increasingly aging population. What's worse: the associated health problems with morbid obesity is putting a strain on the very generation that will need to provide for its elders.

   It's also quite apparent that our failures in public education are contributing to our decline as a world leader in innovation and technology. As we've noted many times before, it's simple mathematical logic that what is a social problem in the 2020s is going to be a national disaster in the 2040s. 

   Sadly, the average Ameroboob's concept of the future is something like next weekend; and thus the next decade or so is as remote to their thinking as the 25th Century. So likely we'll continue sinking into bulimia and addiction while Big Pharma, Big Ag, the Insurance Cartels, and the Academic Mafia going laughing all the way to the bank.

FORKED TONGUES AND BIG PHARMA

       The Controlled Opposition isn't doing so well these days. Politico, a Deep State mouthpiece owned by German WEF Media consortium Axel Springer, reported that the GOP's sudden turn to the Woke Left has not only cost it votes but has seen a massive drifting away both of coveted Wall Street robber barons and the Israel Lobby. In July alone, the Harris Campaign raised over a quarter billion dollars---nearly three times that of their Republican counterparts. To make matters worse for Conservatism Incorporated, this cash is coming from the very so-called 'venture capitalists' they'd hoped to win over at the expense of their Conservative base. 

     Democratic Party dark-money operative Steve Spinner said that "the formation of the group was intended to push back to the narrative that Silicon Valley is now split in light of far-right billionaires like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen and David Sacks publicly supporting Trump. It’s still very, very much Democratic country out here, and now it’s Harris country. Just because there are a couple of big name, big ego investors that are for Trump—they do not speak for the broader tech community and the broader VC community out here. For every one person who’s backing Trump, there are twenty who are backing Kamala.” Slimy Silicon Valley corporate lawyer Andrew Byrnes added: "After Biden dropped out, several well-known tech lawyers in the Valley signed up to bundle donations for the Harris campaign."

     After Biden withdrew from the DNC nomination, the Republicans suddenly found themselves with no substantive issues on which to build a base of support. Aside from trying to scrounge the gutters for sexual 'scandals' they can accuse Kamala of committing and various Lawfare proposals, they've thrown out a few campaign promises here and there desperately trying to win back the supporters whom they've alienated for the past year. President Trump was in Georgia today and caused a round of excitement in the Controlled Opposition Press by promising to stand up to Big Pharma.

    “Big Pharma, they’re a villain in many different ways. I know them better than anybody. They weren’t fans of mine. In fact, when they announced the vaccine, they did it one day before the election. That’s okay with me. They weren’t fans of mine. I got them to do things that nobody thought anybody could get, really, to do. And, no, they are — they’ve done some good things. They’ve done some very bad things also. There’s no question about it.”

    I'm not certain how Trump plans to crack down on Big Pharma with characters like Doug Burgum and Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential Cabinet---not to mention all of the 'Conservative' legislators with their fingers in Big Pharma's pie. 



  Even the Moonie-connected media outlet Newsweek noted that Trump has never apologized for Operation Warp Speed and was still bragging about it less than two years ago. Likewise, Georgia seems like a rather awkward venue for such a statement. Trump today denounced Governor Brian Kemp saying, “Your governor Kemp and Raffensperger, they are doing everything possible to make 2024 difficult for Republicans to win. Kemp is very bad for the Republican Party. He’s the most disloyal guy I think I’ve ever seen...Kemp is bad guy. A disloyal guy." 

    Trump's original feud with Kemp began in 2020 when Kemp broke ranks with the White House and rejected Scamdemic Mandates. Republican bumbling has turned Georgia from a reliable Red State to one where Kamala has overtaken Trump in the polls; and a State where only two years ago the Democrats won a Senate seat with a lackluster candidate who would have been beaten handily by a competent opponent.   

    As long as the Party Establishment insists on pretending that we can win with Neoconservatism, the losses are likely to continue. Promises like those made today are not going to be the magic bullet that the Punditocracy hopes for because they have no credibility. Meanwhile, both parties will point fingers and accuse each other while the moneyed titans on Wall Street laugh in their sleeves at the whole show.

CAN ANYBODY JUSTIFY THIS?

        This weekend we've seen a flurry of 'news' stories purporting to be about the upcoming election. Supporters of the Republican Party tirelessly have been expounding for the last year or so the need to depose the Democratic Administration. I do agree that the Democrats and the Whacko Left Wing generally needs to be ejected from positions of authority. However, I advocate doing this by the people standing up and re-asserting their Constitutional (and Natural) Rights of self-government. 

      The problem with this position is that the current supporters of the Republican Party can't seem to come up with an actual plan for achieving this. In fact, the longer that this Campaign has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that we're not looking at Trump 2.0 as much as Bush 3.0; the same forsaking of principles and appeals to the lowest common social denominator, the overt Authoritarianism and top-down solutions---nobody seems to be able to explain why the 'alternative' is better than the current situation. 

     Take for example, some of the revolting stories emerging out of Controlled Opposition echo-chambers. Mark Levin, a stupid blowhard who has a well-financed echo-chamber of his own, accused Kamala Harris of being a virulent anti-Semite. This is despite the fact that Kamala is married to a lawyer for the Israel Lobby and currently heads the White House Task Force on Anti-Semitism---which incidentally he co-founded with Trump's participation. There have also been numerous lurid 'allegations' of 'sexual misconduct' against Kamala---all gutter-level innuendo that we'd expect from the Democrats; but again, it's only bad when the Democrats do it. 

     But more troubling than this, we saw on Friday influencer Kyle Rittenhouse withdraw his support from Trump---probably largely because opposition to Gun Control was another issue conspicuously absent from July's Woke Convention. Rittenhouse has apparently changed his mind---or, by the sound of things, had it changed for him. 


     Productive conversations indeed. In light of Thursday's remarks on the demise of Project 2025, the RNC seems to be taking a much more aggressive stance to curb dissent. This also goes for that great advocate of free speech, Elon Musk:


    Then there was this, allegedly from Trump (or whoever writes for him):




       So: purges, censorship, and productive conversations with Party strongmen. Does anybody still not see a problem with any of this? Exactly how does anybody imagine that these people are going to govern the country should they come back into power? We've been given a fair taste of it already, with some of the thuggery of Republican Governors and Congress passing laws seizing media outlets, expanding surveillance programs and openly praising WEF gangsters like Javier Milei and Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Is that what we want in the United States? It's time that Conservatives started asking some questions and getting some answers.

WHEN DO WE STOP LOOKING THE OTHER WAY?

        Yesterday, a statement from the Trump Campaign (or whoever writes his speeches for him these days) caused a little minor controversy after the issue of Project 2025 resurfaced.


        Admittedly, there is much about Project 2025 that any sane candidate should disavow; and certainly we have no especial feelings for the shady Heritage Foundation or the Deep State shills running that organization responsible for its production. What was troubling about the RNC statement was the second paragraph with its not-so-veiled threats of consequences for those who violate the Conservativism Incorporated's "zero-tolerance policy on a focused and disciplined campaign strategy." Statements like these hearken back once again to the Bush Machine policy of treating everyone outside the Party orthodoxy as an enemy. 

     The Party Machine hypocritically slammed the Heritage Foundation for influence peddling: as though the Silicon Valley Tech Lords and the Bush Family bankers funding the RNC are wholly disinterested patriots coming together for the common good of the nation and that Trump doesn't change his policies to suit them in any way. 

    Such things might sound like typical Election Year posturing, but they take a more ominous aspect when pundits start promoting the idea that things won't end well for dissenters from the Party Line. Witness another piece written by an operative from another crooked NGO yesterday equating 'America's Enemies' with actual Americans who don't show sufficient loyalty to the New Order.

   After the obligatory half-dozen paragraphs of Historical Revisionism and snide innuendoes against the Democrats, the author states: "We must make as many public examples (nota bene) of the Marxist, Islamist, and anarchist infiltrators of our government and our institutions as possible. Not simply for their beliefs, of course," he very discreetly adds, "but because they have declared us the enemy and have set about undermining everything that holds our nation together. They’ve brought along an alarming number of Americans (nota bene) into the anti-American and anti-West movement.

   "If we can uncover and prosecute America’s foes, we may be able to slow the cancer enough to excise it. So, while Donald Trump is not the perfect vessel for implementing conservative policy (nota bene), he must rise to the occasion in a second term and dedicate his entire administration to investigating and prosecuting (nota bene) those who would do our nation harm. It’s a huge task, and it will be divisive at first, but our nation cries out for it. We cannot go on like this, tolerating deliberate societal suicide. Eventually, conducting these investigations will have the effect of bringing about a renewed sense of patriotism and shared values (nota bene). We might consider it a new Cold War (nota bene). Defeat the enemies first. That’s our only current priority."

    Rise! Rise! The ghosts of George Bush and Dick Cheney! Because that is exactly what we're reading here: declaring another 'national emergency' requiring the sacrifice of more of our liberties for the 'national security' reasons of 'saving us' from some very ill-defined 'enemies.' The author throws out a few very fluid examples of such enemies: 'Marxists, Islamists, and Anarchists' but as we've seen those definitions seem to cover anybody opposed to the Reactionaries' new Victim Classes---i.e. Wall Street Robber Barons and the Zionist Lobby. 

    Regarding this latter class of victims, the President-in-Exile also made some remarks today fretting that Kamala is too much of a weenie defending Israeli interests; just as the news broke that those heroic allies in our shared Judeo-Christian Heritage are embroiled in a controversy over whether their brave xhes in uniform have license to commit rapes (of either gender, apparently). 


     I suppose that this is to be expected from a Party holding up the likes of Steve Sailer, Andrew Tate, Vox Day, and Doug Wilson as masculine role models. However, we should be asking ourselves a pointed question: At what point do we become worse than the Left? How long are we going to look the other way at these kinds of things?

    So far, few want to answer those questions, let alone ask them. As things stand right now, I don't see that a Republican replacement for the Biden/Harris Junta would actually equate a positive change. Anyone looking at things objectively could even make the argument that we're being offered is actually worse. The Democrats at least are trying to keep up the pretenses that their drive to the Great Reset has to go through the processes of our system: the Reactionaries seem to be determined to take a shortcut, bypass all of these procedures and go on to the New World Order as quickly and as efficiently as possible. 

    If we recall the recent GOP Convention, not only was Social Converatism excluded, but so were concepts like balancing the budget, restraining the police state, draining the Swamp, protecting property rights, and safeguarding the Constitutional Rights of the public. When we see things like the Republicans in Congress gifting the Biden/Harris Junta with further censorship powers--- like they did again just this week---and a campaign stressing zero tolerance which is heavily run by representatives of the Dark Enlightenment, Log Cabin Republicans, Silicon Valley transhumanists, and Christian-Zionist fanatics; I think that questioning the direction that they might be taking us is a legitimate concern. It's time that we stopped looking the other way and started asking some of these questions.

GOP WINS OLYMPIC GOLD IN HYPOCRISY

      Among the news items in the Controlled Opposition Media today was a piece from the Pink Triangle boys at Breitbart highlighting remarks by President Trump about the horrible display opening the Paris Olympic Games. 

     “I thought the opening ceremony was a disgrace, actually,” he said. “I thought it was a disgrace...We won’t be having a Last Supper as portrayed the way they portrayed it the other night. Look, I’m for everybody. I’m very open-minded. but I think what they did was a disgrace.”

    There is no doubt that it was a disgrace or that the Trump Campaign has proven itself to be quite open-minded (i.e. flexible) when it comes to such matters. It's not a disgrace, of course, that this year alone Mar-a-Lago has hosted at least one homo 'wedding' or that homo activists have raised millions for the Trump Campaign with at least three fundraisers. It's not a disgrace that perverts like Elon Musk and Peter Theil are directing the campaign and even choosing its top candidates. 

   “The mocking of The Last Supper,” alcoholic single-mom Laura Ingraham replied. “Catholics and Christians across the globe are outraged.” There likewise was no such outrage at opening the GOP Convention with a prayer to a heathen deity. 


       The President-in-Exile and the Establishment simps on Fox News weren't the only ones faking outrage and hoping to spin the narrative for political gain. Andrew Tate, one of the New Right's role models of "offering a different vision that encourages men to seek respect by becoming impressive" was involved in an anti-Olympic protest too. Tate is currently out of jail but unable for legal reasons to leave Romania. 

  "I am protesting outside of the French embassy for mocking Jesus during the Olympic ceremony." Tate proclaimed. "I was expecting a large crowd. Where are the Christians in Romania? Why are there only a few protesters? I was expecting a huge crowd of Catholics and other Christian groups to register their protest over the mockery of Jesus across the world." 

  I would suggest that the reason is that---unlike their American counterparts---no self-respecting Romanian Christian wants to be seen within a mile of the likes of Andrew Tate. While it's true that American Churchians with their devotion to the Prosperity Gospel may see such statements as


or,


or,


....are perfectly consistent with the teachings of Christ and 2,000 years of theological scholarship and the highest divisions of philosophy and natural science, Christians living in far-off lands unacquainted with the blessings of American Exceptionalism seem to hold on to unrealistic superstitions like the Golden Rule or that Christ, not grifters or politicians, should be imitated and respected.

   All of this brings up an interesting question: while we've seen just about everybody on the Right condemning the Paris Olympics, why no criticism of the Trump Campaign cozying up to the Rainbow Mafia? Why isn't anybody speaking out against Andrew Tate? Or, if the so-called Christian Right doesn't wish to condemn such things, let's hear some of their defenses for it.

   Somehow, I doubt though that we'll hear either any criticism or justifications. As we've pointed out before, winning the elections (i.e. coming into power) has become for the so-called American Right an end in itself. No matter how much rationalizing, no matter how much paranoia and fear-mongering, or how much ridiculous and petty mudslinging that they engage in, nothing can disguise the mounting evidence---increasingly obvious to everyone---that the New Right has nothing to offer the nation that makes them better than the Democrats. Their message from beginning to end has been based on the Cult of the Superman, the worship of Force, and appeals to the basest elements of envy, greed, and revenge in human nature. As reactionaries, they have only accomplished the feat of exceeding the Left in self-righteous arrogance and blatant hypocrisy.

CHINA SCORES ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH

      While the Tech Lords in the US are busily scrambling about trying to buy political influence and whatever is left of NASA is recovering from last month's Pride events, Chinese social media is buzzing at the recent discoveries found in lunar samples from the successful return of Lunar Probe Chang'e-5. At China's Institute of Physics, researchers discovered a previously unknown mineral compound which is enriched with water molecules and ammonium, which they have named ULM-1.

     Since the Apollo Moon Missions---from an era when the US still had a space program---scientists have held that the moon is completely arid. The last Apollo Mission was in 1972 when technology for more detailed analysis had not yet been developed. Instead of accepting the settled science and focusing on celebrating diversity, China developed its own space program with qualified engineers. 

    China's most recent lunar probe, Chang'e-6 returned to earth this year. The Chinese opened an international Space forum with a goal of building a permanent station on the moon, which they hope will be manned by 2035. The discovery of hydrolyzed water crystals opens new possibilities for bringing such a plan to fruition. 

      Zhang Chuanjun, a senior aerospace engineer stated that "if in the future our taikonauts can extract water vapor or water from these crystals, it would solve a major issue in future manned lunar missions and the construction of lunar research stations, as we would no longer need to transport water from Earth. This would address a significant concern in manned lunar exploration, meanwhile saving substantial costs."

    Chinese scientists have also discovered that the newly-discovered lunar crystals have properties similar to basalt crystals formed on earth near volcanoes. This not only raises interesting possibilities about volcanic activity on the moon; but it greatly facilitates experiments leading to an extraction process which could be applied on the lunar surface. China currently is decades ahead of the US in biodome and terraforming technology, so the possibilities of building manned lunar colonies is well within China's reach. 


    The anti-China hawks in the US could do little more than seethe with impotent rage at the discovery. The real issue, though, goes back to the old saying that Nature abhors a vacuum, and the real reasons that we've fallen behind China are twofold. Wang Yanan, chief editor of Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge Magazine, stated the most obvious problem: "One of the root causes for such problems is that the US has developed many large technology conglomerates, which for a long time have benefited significantly from government orders and industry monopolies. Consequently, in many complex engineering fields, the level of attention given is greatly insufficient. It also reflects the US' lack of long-term strategic planning for its manned space program...it reflects a systemic issue in the US space industry - the overall weakening of engineering capabilities."

   On top of turning over our entire Space Program to crony capitalists who have anything but the interests of the United States in mind, government regulations imposed by these and other special interests discourage innovation and rewards for actual merit. Wang was completely correct in noting that this is a systemic problem, although it actually goes much deeper than what mere bureaucratic incompetence reflects. In the first place, we have a culture, now deeply rooted in our institutions, which has wholly alienated a generation of young men (primarily) from pursuing careers which would be of enormous social benefit. Another issue is that we no longer have a culture that prioritizes education. It was learned during the Trump Administration that the failed No Child Left Behind policies of the Bush Years created an enormous deficit in educational opportunities in STEM throughout most of our public schools. Vice-President Pence also led an initiative to revive the moribund Space Council; but Americans chose to panic over a flu outbreak and today we're right back where we started from.

   The other main issue is that the same Corporate takeovers of our Space Program (another problem for which we can thank the Bush Administration) has led to the massive diversion of otherwise valuable technology into programs expanding Domestic Espionage and so-called 'National Security' programs. American technological advancements during the 21st Century has overwhelmingly focused on expanding the Surveillance State and paramilitary capabilities. What's worse, the current trend, led by Silicon Valley disciples of the Dark Enlightenment, seek to 'deregulate' the Oligarchy's power even further, proposals which have drawn praise from no less than Jeff Bezos.  

   As a culture, we need to stop pretending that China's successes are part of some nebulous 'China Threat' and that somehow Chinese motivation stems from envy of our way of life which, for some always unspecified reason, they seek to destroy. Unlike the US, China is working for its own good. If our technology has become inferior to theirs' we have no one to blame but ourselves. China recently celebrated the 20th Anniversary of their moon project---we need to ask ourselves what we have been investing in during the past two decades.

ELON MUSK LOOKS FOR A LIFEBOAT AS CHURCHIANS SINK THE GOP

       Just in time for the implosion of the New Right, the Churchian wing of the GOP-controlled Congress is rolling out the red carpet for the spiritual successor of King Herod, Israeli strongman Benjamin Netanyahu. The purpose of the visit originally was part of a publicity stunt to bolster the Official Counter-Narrative that Biden was being too much of a weenie when it came to supporting Israel by not encouraging even more barbarities than he was already doing. The Churchians, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson, are nonetheless determined to double-down on their posturing on behalf of their hybrid Judeo-Christian faith; Johnson recently vowing to arrest elected representatives who might question Netanyahu on certain details of his policies.


     With Biden no longer in the picture, and Conservatism Incorporated not having a backup plan, the Party pundits are having difficulty shifting their attacks towards Kamala Harris. Some have even accused the current Deputy Head-of-State of being an anti-Semite---woke Conservatism's equivalent of accusing people of homophobia. It happens awkwardly enough though, that Kamala Harris is not only married to a Jew; her domestic partner happens to be a prominent figure in the pro-Zionist lobby. In fact, Hubby Harris heads the White House Task Force suppressing pro-Palestinian dissent combatting anti-Semitism. Even before the Palestinian Civil War broke out, Harris' husband organized a roundtable on the subject which included a few currently very prominent Republican political figures. 

    Whatever Netanyahu says or does during this visit is actually irrelevant to much of anything since any political points either Party hoped to score off it are more or less moot. Netanyahu is going to meet with Biden, Kamala, and Trump; given his WEF connections, Netanyahu is probably taking advantage of the situation to analyze the American political situation so that his bosses in Davos can better determine a winner this November. The best that the world can hope for is that the IDF takes advantage of Netanyahu's absence and stages a coup. 

   The Oligarchy here, however, seems to be shifting towards Kamala. Yesterday, the slithery Elon Musk to Red Pill cultist Jordan Peterson that he is apparently having second thoughts about whether or not the GOP is a good investment after all.

   "'What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,' Musk told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson in an interview aired on Monday. 'I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump'... In the interview with Peterson, Musk said he created America PAC, which he said would support Trump but 'is not supposed to be a sort of hyperpartisan.' The X owner said he was drawn {note the past tense} to the Republican candidate because he believed {nota bene}the GOP was {nota bene} more in line with his thinking around issues like meritocracy and freedom.

    "'One of those values being meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so you get ahead as a function of your skill, and nothing else,' Musk told Peterson, adding that he hoped {nota bene} Trump would bring as much freedom from government intervention as possible. Musk also said his political thinking is not the same as Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again, but rather 'MAG,' Make America Greater. The Tesla co-founder added that he doesn’t follow any cult of personality around Trump, but feels the former president showed 'great courage' after surviving an assassination attempt."

   Musk has had a long history of buying influence with candidates---mostly Democrats---and it wouldn't be surprising to see to him and the other billionaires currently investing in the Red Wave start slipping towards Kamala, especially after she (predictably) began overtaking the President-in-Exile in the polls. The GOP all along has carried an inflated opinion of its own support; believing that the public's lack of confidence in Biden translated into support for themselves. They inferred from that faulty logic that they could snub their own base and that we would just have to take it for lack of an alternative. 

  They should have noted though that their other candidates aren't doing all that well. Congress' own approval rating is barely out of single digits; and it's unlikely that cracking down on protests and threatening their opposition with arrest is going to improve their favorability very much. They've followed the same strategy that's lost time and time again and executed it with an intolerable arrogance; but instead of reforming, their pundits will probably spend the next three months trying to figure out how to blame their failures on China.
