    Bullsh..t. Calling a potential deal an unrealistic demand is exactly the same as rejecting the deal. That’s how deals get rejected and that’s what Kiev did in 2022. Do you realize it’s the same? Or is that concept too complex for your ‘merican education?

Putin made demands and Ukraine rejected them as being potential perfidy. The ISW agreed that it could have been a trap move by Putin and was not realistic.

    I'm not lying about anything and Putin's demands regarding their military size are public information:
    According to the 2022 draft peace treaty, Ukraine would have had to forgo NATO membership, reduce the size of its armed forces to 85,000 personnel, and significantly decrease its arsenal of equipment and weaponry.

    Why don't you explain for us as to exactly what would stop Putin from continuing to invade after Ukraine drastically reduced the size of its military and also stayed out of NATO.

    Go ahead and explain that for us as to how Ukraine would know that it wasn't a trick play to reduce the size of their military while Putin built up a new invading force.

    …There was never a full deal as you implied.

    I am not sure what the term “full” means in the context. But right, Mr.Einstein, the deal happens when people sign it. You can’t really swim until you are in the water.

    Ukraine rejected them as being potential perfidy.

    Correct again – as I said before Ukraine rejected the deal. Now you at least agree. It’s not about what was in the deal, it’s the reality that we all agree on that Kiev rejected it. The question is are they going to get anything better, it looks close to 100% that they won’t.

    Ukraine would have had to forgo NATO membership, reduce the size of its armed forces to 85,000 personnel, and significantly decrease its arsenal of equipment and weaponry

    I thought you were forever arguing that Ukraine-in-NATO was a chimera, a made-up casus belli by Russia. Do you now admit it was real?

    If Kiev didn’t like 85k they could have signed it and then hired 200k contractors or regional ‘policemen’, or whatever fu..k they wanted to call them. This is an absolutely ridiculous argument in 2026 – we don’t count official boots on the ground.

    what would stop Putin from continuing to invade after Ukraine drastically reduced the size of its military and also stayed out of NATO.

    Nothing. Not signing certainly didn’t do it. You seem to have a problem with the realities on the ground. If something is inevitable or a goal is too far-fetched (Kiev in NATO), rational responsible people don’t die fighting for it. But the Ukies did and still do.

    Treaties are mostly useless paper other than to temporarily stop something worse like a bloody war. In Russia’s defense they have much better record in the last few decades not breaking their word than US or EU. Does anyone trust what Fat Don signs?

    The British were the biggest liars of all, with their compulsive habit of whitewashing history.
     
    Thanks for your thoughtful response.

    I've come to the conclusion that self deception (though deception none the less) plays a massive and often untold role in a great many historical events.

    The more honest (even brutally honest when necessary) in general people can be about things, the better.


    I became aware of this when studying William Wilberforce, who is wrongly regarded by the British as the man who abolished the slave trade.
     
    I have sometimes wondered what might be found if a financial forensic deep dive was undertaken to determine exactly where the funding was coming from for the 'abolition movement'. Did most of the funding for it come from the broad public as we are led to believe, or, did the bulk of the funding come from financiers and banks?

    The other bit of legislation he [Wilberforce] was involved with before he died was the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which went a bit further but it aimed to ‘end’ slavery by compensating slave owners for the loss of their “property”
     
    And one wonders why they couldn't have at least tried recompensing Southerners for their three million slaves. True, it would have been costly, but the Civil War which actually took place was even more costly still, no doubt.

    The trade still persists today, as much in Britain and the West as anywhere....reducing them to property, disposables or commodities.
     
    Anglosphere elites and hangers engaging in chattel slavery and it's trade were a minority amongst these elites, I imagine, albeit a powerful one.

    When wage slavery (ie so called 'cheap labor'/'mass immigration') was adopted in the early 19th century and falsely promoted as representing chattel slavery's 'abolition', it was comparable to sometime taking a bucket of liquid water, freezing it, and making a big show that the now frozen solid ice (which had merely changed some of it's peripheral outer characteristics) was now no longer H2O.

    Going from the already ghastly chattel slavery to the even more malignant and destructive wage slavery (ie 'cheap labor' so called) is a bit like someone going from smoking crack to mainlining heroine, and claiming they've 'kicked the habit', when in reality they are more addicted than ever.

    Or, if one were to compare chattel slavery to a cancer, wage slavery ('cheap labor') would represent slavery's metasticization to all the organs of the body politic.

    The 19th century failure of the Anglosphere to have dealt with slavery in a truthful manner, and the resulting broad commodification of people, has been terribly baneful.

    As an example, the Irish Famine era September 30, 1851 London Times editorial linked below, published nearly a full generation after slavery's purported abolition in 1833, and with all due respect, casually refers to the descendant Plantation population in the north of Ireland as a slave race (ie 'more mixed', 'more docile', and 'which can submit to a master') which, nevertheless, the Times sees as being slated to take the place of 'Celtic' Ireland.

    The Celtic Irish as wage slaves ('cheap labor') are enmasse expected to 'mix' away in North America, and thus be 'known no more'

    The Times adds that this hell vision for Ireland and the Irish people that it has outlined is now 'no longer a dream', but 'a fact now in progress'.

    The US ambassador to Britain and Ireland that the editorial features, Abbott Lawrence, is a bit like the fox guarding the hen house when it comes to Ireland.

    He is of the Lawrence family of Massachusetts textile factory magnates who have already financed the construction of the planned industrial city of Lawrence 'Immigrant City, Mass, and will soon be financing the construction of it's infamous sister city, the abolition center of Lawrence, 'Bleeding' Kansas.

    The textile factory magnates want the lower costs wage slaves ('cheap labor') from well, wherever, picking the cotton which feeds their mills, to replace the highly expensive and inefficient chattel slaves.

    The former US Treasury Secretary, territorial governor of Bleeding Kansas (1857), and the financial representative of the Lincoln administration in London in 1863, Robert J Walker, taking numerous variables into account, found that wage slave dependent Massachusetts had four times the productivity of chattel slave dependent South Carolina.

    Walker's 1863 London calculations were featured in an 1864 'why we fight' series of economic articles which he wrote and published for Northern consumption.

    With both chattel and wage slavery, the textile factory magnates get their much coveted 'hit' of stolen labor, it's just that wage slavery ('cheap labor') is the more efficient and productive (and thus more profitable) way of going about it.

    That this is a truly genocidal system is of no concern to these elites and their hangers on.

    You make some interesting points. Gangs of New York was a difficult film to watch but informative if one can look past all the Hollywood fictions, embellishments and contortions. The Irish experience in both Britain and America is particularly informative on the topic of wage slavery, particularly as it preceded the modern obfuscating frameworks and could be seen in its raw social impacts.

    While I’m not persuaded by the white-replacement theories of Mr Duchesne’s article because it’s loaded with presuppositions, I’m persuaded that low wage employment is simply a more efficient form of slavery than chattel slavery.

    Reasons:

    Low-wage labor shifts the cost of worker maintenance (housing, food, healthcare) from the employer to the worker, thereby increasing profitability. The wage incentive structure also motivates skilled workers to develop expertise and avoid damaging expensive machinery. Chattel slaves often performed the bare minimum to avoid punishment.

    Low-wage employers don’t need to provide housing, food, or medical care, as these are financed by the wages distributed to workers, reducing the employer’s direct financial burden. This was done with great effect during the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

    Low-wage labor can be dismissed during economic downturns, allowing employers to adjust labor costs dynamically. Chattel slaves were often sold or freed at a capital loss but couldn’t be fired.

    Low-wage labor allows for a more fluid capital accumulation process without the high upfront purchase price and long-term upkeep of human property. Chattel slaves were locked-up collateral and assets.

    Low-wage workers have an incentive to work efficiently and maintain equipment to keep their jobs, whereas slave labor often resulted in sabotage or minimal effort due to the lack of reward for extra work.

    Low-wage workers are more willing to accept dangerous or hazardous conditions to gain employment, which allows employers to maximize output with less direct coercion or oversight. Chattel slaves required constant vigilance to prevent escape or rebellion.

    Low-wage labor is reinforced by their own debt, which reduces worker mobility and negotiating power, making them more compliant and less likely to take risks, such as striking or changing jobs. Chattel slaves had a stake only in their survival and freedom.

    Immigrants merely have a lower incentive threshold than locals, regardless of race.

  • @arete
    @showmethereal

    Two corrections to your corrections, since accuracy matters more than who scores.

    On Baidu, you're right that Baidu led Google in Chinese search before Google's 2010 exit, and I'll state that plainly. But the history doesn't say what you want it to. Baidu was founded in 2000 on $1.2M from US venture firms, and then they took $10M more from Draper Fisher Jurvetson and IDG, and listed on NASDAQ in 2005. Its search technology came from RankDex, the link-analysis algorithm Robin Li developed in 1996 while working at a Dow Jones subsidiary in New Jersey—an algorithm that predates PageRank and that Larry Page's PageRank patent cites as prior art. Baidu is a genuine achievement, but it is also a US-venture-funded, US (NASDAQ) listed company built on its founder's pre-Google American work. That's not a story of indigenous innovation in China under a Chinese culture/system defeating the West, and "you don't get Chinese culture" sits oddly on a DFJ-backed Nasdaq company. What Google's 2010 exit did was remove Baidu's only serious competitor and lock in a durable monopoly, and that is precisely the point. Competition was contesting that market; the exit ended the contest.

    On banks, I never argued size determines competitiveness — that's the argument I was arguing against. You've answered a claim about competitive innovation with a statistic about asset size, which is a category substitution. ICBC is larger than Citi. ICBC is also an instrument of state-directed credit allocation; its scale measures the volume of policy lending it intermediates, not a superior product. The original question was whether it could win global corporate finance or capital-markets business in an open market on the merits. Asset rankings don't touch that.
    And this is the recurring pattern in your argument. Total bank assets, total phone units, total GDP—every one of these scales with a population four-plus times that of the US. They substantially measure how many Chinese people there are. The size-neutral measures—per-capita GDP, profit per unit, return on invested capital, share won in open third markets where neither side is protected (or subsidized)—are where competitiveness actually shows, and those are far less flattering to China. To wit, China's per-capita GDP is roughly a fifth to a sixth of the US level, and that's the number total-GDP framing hides. A phone maker selling more units at thin or negative margin into a protected home market is not demonstrating the same thing as a firm capturing the vast majority of an industry's global profits. Aggregates that track population aren't evidence of competitive superiority. They're evidence of population alone.

    Two historical points you raised also need correcting, and they don't support what you want.

    The Korean War didn't end in a Chinese victory over the US. It ended in 1953 in an armistice along the 38th parallel—essentially the prewar boundary. China did secure its real objective, a buffer state on its border, and that's a genuine accomplishment worth stating accurately. But an armistice restoring the status quo ante is a stalemate, not a win. The reason China isn't "occupied" the way you say Japan is has nothing to do with China winning—it's that the Korean War was never a war for the occupation of China. You're comparing a negotiated armistice in a proxy-border war to a total war that ended in unconditional surrender, and treating the different outcomes as different degrees of victory when they're different kinds of war.

    And Japan isn't "militarily occupied." The occupation ended in 1952 with the San Francisco Peace Treaty. US forces are in Japan under the 1960 mutual security treaty, which is an agreement between two sovereign states that Japan is free to abrogate. Relabeling a treaty alliance as an occupation seven decades later is the same move as "you don't get Chinese culture," which is to say, an unfortunate sophistic move of renaming a thing to make an argument the facts don't support.

    You're right on one part of the Japan point, however, about how the US did indeed pressure Japan economically in the 1980s, as the Plaza Accord and the semiconductor agreement were real. And China is genuinely harder to pressure that way because it's a far larger market and not a US security dependent. That's a fair structural observation.

    But the Japan analogy, told accurately, runs totally against you. Japan in the 1980s was the economy that was going to overtake the US (go read all the Chalmers Johnson stuff out of MIT)—and yet it didn't. The reason for that is mostly not the Plaza Accord; rather, it's that Japan's investment-heavy, export-led, state-coordinated growth model overextended into an asset bubble and then couldn't rebalance. The lost decades were largely self-inflicted by exactly the soft-budget dynamics now visible in China's property sector and local-government debt. If you want the Japan parallel, that's the honest one: the last country that was going to overtake the US on this growth model hit the structural wall the model builds in.

    China may be so large that it, unlike Japan, has succeeded in overtaking the US in economic size— it did, on GDP at purchasing-power parity, around a decade ago, though it remains behind at market exchange rates. But that is a fact about scale of population, again, not about the model. China's growth model isn't remotely a Chinese innovation; instead, it's the East Asian developmental-state template, with high mobilized savings, suppressed household consumption, state-directed investment, export orientation, and it was pioneered by Japan and subsequently run in turn by South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, well before China adopted it most recently and at the largest scale, per force. A borrowed model can't be evidence of a superior one. And the template has a known later chapter: every prior country that ran it eventually hit the same growth-transition wall when investment returns fell and consumption hadn't been allowed to develop. Japan hit it hardest. That China is now arriving at that same wall, which is clearly visible in the property sector and local-government debt, isn't a surprise. It's the part of the script that was always coming.

    Replies: @showmethereal, @antibeast

    You’re mischaracterizing China’s current economy as being driven by export-oriented manufacturing industries similar to other East Asian countries. While that was true during the Dengist “Market Reform” Era from 1990s to the 2000s until the GFC in 2008, China has since restructured its economy away from export-oriented manufacturing industries to 1). infrastructure investments (both in-country as well as overseas BRI projects); 2). technology development (Made in China 2025); 3). services industries (education, hospitality, healthcare, travel/tourism).

    China’s household consumption per capita is still way below the average in Western countries. Likewise, China’s welfare industries are largely dependent on household savings rather than government spending which is expected to increase in the coming decades. That’s “demand-side” economics which means more aggregate demand which will lead to increased consumption.

    Japan and the other East Asian countries do not possess a vast hinterland nor do they have populations as large as China. Thus, they have no other choice but rely on their export-oriented manufacturing industries for economic growth. That makes their economies trade-dependent unlike China which has a domestic market large enough to sustain economic growth without relying on export markets.

    What the Plaza Accord did to Japan was to forcibly financialize its economy and forbid its government from funding MITI industrial policies. That’s in addition to the US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement which imposed quotas on Japanese semiconductor exports as well as mandated Japanese imports of American semiconductors. That’s not true in the case of China today where its industrial policies such as the Made in China 2025 which includes its semiconductor investments are booming due to Trump’s trade wars as well as US export restrictions on Huawei and semiconductors.

    Lastly, your arguments regarding China’s property industry might sound valid but they are not quite accurate. The two examples you cited — Evergrande and Country Garden — had liquidity problems due to their investments in non-housing industries and overseas ventures, respectively. Evergrande diversified into sports stadiums, amusement parks, entertainment troupes, electric vehicles, etc. with its founder Hui Ka Yan pleading guilty to criminal charges of financial fraud.

    https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/evergrande-china-hui-ka-yan-guilty-plea-f14292

    Meanwhile, Country Gardens had invested in its biggest overseas project called “Forest City” by reclaiming land in Johore Bahru, Malaysia. The Western media had misreported the location of that “ghost city” in China which is patently false.

    https://interestingengineering.com/culture/why-did-chinas-country-garden-create-this-ghost-city-in-malaysia

    Other than these two high-profile cases, most of the Chinese real-estate developers that have since gone bankrupt had overbuilt in third-tier and four-tier cities. The demand for housing is still growing despite the property downturn due to rising urbanization in the inland provinces. The missing part of the property market is the lack of economic opportunities in the third-tier and four-tier cities where the excess inventory of empty houses is concentrated. Future economic growth will come to fruition after infrastructure projects are constructed and manufacturing industries are relocated from coastal cities to inland provinces.

    Ricardo Duchesne: "I did not say the cases of Japan and China refute Ellul, ..."

    When you wrote "My idea can’t be found in the writings of technological determinists. Their arguments can’t account for China’s case, or Japan’s, ..." that seemed to me to be what you were saying. I thought you were making the same objection that Jared Taylor has made. In outline form, it runs:

    The West has technology.
    China and Japan have the same technology.
    Chinese and Japanese don't have an immigration problem; they aren't replacing themselves with immigrants.
    Therefore: Ellul is wrong. Technology determines nothing.

    But that's an absurd oversimplification of Ellul's argument. He's saying that human actions are driven by technological necessity, and if he were still alive to speak in response, I think he'd say that the cases of China and Japan don't prove him wrong because those overcrowded societies don't have a technological need to import people. Perhaps he'd also point out that the technological histories of those societies are quite different, both having been opened up by force. They received Western technology relatively recently from outside rather than as a native development, so as societies they can't be expected to follow exactly the same trajectory as the West.

    Also, to characterize Ellul and Kaczynski as determinists is quite wrong, since they both seem to think that though it might be very difficult, humanity can voluntarily turn things around; i.e., that ultimately man can save himself if only he comes to his senses. It's a little ambiguous, but that's what you think too, isn't it? You conclude:

    Only a profound restructuring of Western societies, more radical in scope than any previous transformation in our history, combined with a deep cultural and psychological reorientation of European peoples away from universalist liberalism, offers any realistic hope of escape.
     
    It's unclear to me whether you mean by this that the restructuring you refer to will first require a collapse of the entire system, or that it could take place on a voluntary basis. What's your prescription for change? Do you call for direct action to cause a collapse, or just more attempts to "wake people up"? If the latter, then what alternatives to capitalism and liberalism do you suggest?

You also are about to witness a tidal wave of moronic voting in November, because the R party has spectacularly bombed (did I say that?) in not quite a year and a half. Party politics are dinosaurs, and should be fumigated out of existence; both parties are responsible for the complete degradation of our Constitution and Bill Of Rights, our road map that, had our *elected* officials guarded judiciously, would give us just cause to celebrate our pending 250th anniversary. Nothing (in my view) to celebrate this year. We now reside in a Plutocracy with 3 letter agency surveillance, not as a bug, but a feature; our president is more worried about his next gold fix, but not about the financial well being of the *electorate*.

George Washington sent troops into Pennsylvania a couple years later to impose onerous taxes on the plebes. That being said, a hard working man always had a chance here.

    Thanks for this, Ron. Trump is certainly no ordinary puppet. Reliable sources say that one of Elon Musk's neural chips was implanted into Trump's hippocampus 8 years ago, and has been totally responsible for all of Trump's movements, behavior, and vocalizations since then.

    The original plan called for an AI chip, but entirely by accident — uh-huh — an AS (Artificial Stupidity) chip got plugged in instead.

    It's working so well, not a single one of the 155 million bona fide  voters  idiots in the USA suspects that Trump is a complete automaton. The chip has an auto-update feature that ensures the puppet's actions and sounds become increasingly ridiculous/outrageous/entertaining as times passes.

    The woman in the video says Trump is 'actively trading stocks', but that's almost certainly not true -- it's whoever is handling his financial accounts while he's president -- but no one would be surprised if there was some degree of corruption in that, similar to the rather obvious insider trading in oil futures after the start of the conflict with Iran.

    Related is a post about Affinity Partners, an asset management company started by Jared Kushner that handles money from Gulf states -- they filed a disclosure earlier this year showing assets under management increased 25% since Trump returned to office.

    I think I am not exaggerating when I say only a fraction of 1% of what Trump seems to be doing would be considered huge scandal and no doubt topple ministers and even governments in many countries. A total breach of trust in high office and along the lines of insider trading on the stock market and likely much more.

    Based on quarterly data released by the US Treasury, the debt at the end of 2008 – just before Obama took office – stood at roughly $10,699,805,000,000.As of the third quarter of 2016, the most recent data available, the debt as Obama is set to leave office stood at $19,573,445,000,000.

     

    Annual deficits are basically on cruise control and beyond the control of any President. That is because most of the budget is attributable to non-discretional social security and health care spending which generally cannot be changed through the annual budget process. It requires separate legislation such as the legislation that created it and doing that would be politically toxic so there is no cutting the debt. It just builds until it collapses at some point.

    That is correct.

    he is convinced muslims are taking over the country and brings this up to me quite often. i always respond that the real problem is the zionist jewish supremacist billionaires that have taken over our government, that it's not sharia law that's being imposed upon us but talmudic law. that sends him over the edge and he cuts off the conversation there. there's a good man lost in there somewhere, i've known him for 50 years and i'm trying to find him and lead him out but it's not working.

    i'm really starting to think these people behind this gigantic hoax are actually evil, there is a dark power at work. in the past i always resisted thinking in terms of good and evil forces, wanting to chalk it all up to nothing but greed, deceit and psychopathology but this is beyond all that. for those who believe in astrology, the winter solstice of 2020, was the dawning of the age of aquarius, i'm starting to think there is something to this, that we are coming out of an age of darkness and a new day and age has begun.

    it seems the forces of light are ascending and the dark forces are trying desperately to prevent this, but they are being revealed for what they truely are and their black magic isn't working the way it used to, they are losing their evil juju and the world is now seeing them in this new light. their evil deeds have reached unbelievable levels, but they are being defeated by these new emerging forces.

    In Professor Kornai’s original formulation, it’s a claim about the entire preceding period leading up to that default—the years credit is extended on terms a genuine market test would reject, because lenders, borrowers, and local officials all expect growth or refinancing or state backing to cover the gap.
    ...
    A hard budget constraint would have cut Evergrande’s credit off a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling, and there would have been no $300 billion hole to default on.
     
    Wow, boldly imagines where no one had imagined before.

    Sorry to inform you that you are not talking about soft budget contraint at all. Rather you are imagining China/Chinese government as the proverbial "Greater Fool." The government did not looked into Evergrande and see how it fared in the market from year one. It simply covered the gap with more and more money year and year.

    Feel free to imagine China in whatever way you see fit. This will be my last post on this topic.

    Of course, you understand that your imagination could also apply to any failed company and government with huge debt.

    Replies: @arete

    I’d gently point out that the description you’ve offered to refute the soft budget constraint is itself just a restatement of the soft budget constraint. You write that the government “did not look into Evergrande and see how it fared in the market from year one; instead, it simply covered the gap with more and more money year after year.” That is the concept, stated precisely. Kornai’s soft budget constraint never required a “Greater Fool” who evaluates a firm and funds it anyway. It requires exactly what you just described: an entity whose survival is decoupled from its market performance, with gaps covered irrespective of whether performance justifies it. You’ve restated the mechanism and called it a rebuttal. Not a winning argument for you, needless to say.

    You do land one fair point, though. My sentence about a hard constraint cutting Evergrande off “a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling” seemed to import a confident counterfactual that is hard to know in terms of a date—and no one can know that precisely. I’ll concede that the sentence was confusing; however, it does nothing to undermine my larger argument, which doesn’t need it. Just as no one could ex ante predict when the Soviet experiment would finally fail, so no one can say exactly when Evergrande would’ve been bankrupted under a hard budget constraint. We just know it never had one, and your description proves it, just as mine did.

    But your closing claim—that this framework “could apply to any failed company and government with huge debt”—is where your narrative really breaks down. The reality is it can’t be applied as you say, and the reason is the whole point I’ve been making. A company that fails under a hard budget constraint fails because funding stopped when performance did: Lehman, a startup out of runway, buggy whip manufacturers, etc. That’s the hard constraint working. The soft budget constraint names the opposite case—funding that continues despite performance, with the market signal overridden. The discriminating question is whether funding tracked performance or was decoupled from it. This means that, to use your words, “any failed company” isn’t actually the reference class. Rather, “entities funded irrespective of whether they should be” is; thus, SOEs, LGFVs, and policy-directed lending recipients populate it for identifiable structural reasons. The framework discriminates. It just discriminates along the axis your comment declines to look at. Hope that’s clear and makes sense.

    That’s a fair place to leave it, I think. It’s been a genuine exchange. So thanks for that!

    “The post-Fordist model, moreover, is making a profound mistake in judging native White workers as less efficient than imported Asian laborers. By rewarding “Asian” traits such as compliant focus on repetitive tasks, and lack of interests outside one’s hyper-specialized role, it is optimizing for short-to-medium-term returns. Whites, with their higher variance in personality, greater openness to new ideas, experimentation, and adventurism, are better suited for long-term frontier innovation and disruptive thinking, which are the very qualities that built and sustained Western civilization. In devaluing these broader creative and civilizational strengths of Whites, the regime prioritizes immediate accumulation over long-term goals such as cultural continuity and grand technological vision.”

    "You still have a problem with whites advocating for themselves in their own countries"

    I believe in freedom of speech. They can say what they want. I do not agree with some of the tactics they use or whether their ideas are practical. For example, I do not think advocating going back to government enforced segregation or talking about how life was better then is a good idea. The majority of Whites now do not view government enforced segregation that way. Also, I do not think the majority of Whites would now support rounding up all the Blacks and sending them back to Africa.

    In addition to this, any political party
    is a collection of special interest groups. The members of each group need to advocate for their own group but also need to tell the members of the other groups their issue is important too and they will support them on it. Saying your issue is the only important issue and telling others their issue is unimportant just unnecessarily antagonizes any potential coalition partners.

    Thomas Massie is currently in a tight House primary race. His internal polling shows he is ahead with under fifty voters but behind with over fifty voters. He is not an open borders libertarian, believing in immigration restriction. What attracts him to younger voters, the future of conservatism, also includes his support of releasing the Epstein files, ending our pro-Israel foreign policy, bringing prices down by ending Fed inflationary policies, ending government spying on Americans without a warrant, and reducing government spending. Even though I do not live in his district, I have donated money to his campaign. His opponent is being funded by Zionist war-mongering billionaires.

    But you are perfectly ok with government enforced integration, which in reality does not hold some superior moral position over enforced segregation. Force is force. So you in fact do NOT believe in freedom of association, which by my account, is an even more important right than freedom of speech.

    ” Also, I do not think the majority of Whites would now support rounding up all the Blacks and sending them back to Africa.”

    Due to nothing less than a lifetime of guilt conditioning. Better dead than rude. This is exactly what I mean when I refer to whites being brain washed into prioritizing the interests of other groups over their own. You are one of those unfortunate people.

In the case of government run entities, like government run schools, the issue becomes a little more complex. I do not believe in government run schools any more than I believe in government run grocery stores. If we have them, though, decisions about how they operate should be made at the state or local level. I believe in shrinking the size of the federal government and decentralizing power.

    The most shocking trend of the next 10 years will be China becoming an economy based on high-complexity manufacturing while retaining strong exports and appreciating exchange rate that will skyrocket its nominal GDP.

    Most western economists won't be able to explain how China's exports will remain competitive. It's because their planned economic policies direct capital toward high-complexity manufacturing, automation and innovation while intentionally bursting speculative bubbles like Real Estate before they consume the economy.

    They also will never sign on to self-defeating trade terms like Japan did in the Plaza Accords and now have an entire emerging world market for the majority of their exports.

In new areas where the Chinese started at the same time as the West, the country may be one product generation ahead of the West, maybe even two generations in some areas.

    he is convinced muslims are taking over the country and brings this up to me quite often. i always respond that the real problem is the zionist jewish supremacist billionaires that have taken over our government, that it’s not sharia law that’s being imposed upon us but talmudic law. that sends him over the edge and he cuts off the conversation there. there’s a good man lost in there somewhere, i’ve known him for 50 years and i’m trying to find him and lead him out but it’s not working.

    It’s a large and widening gap as life in the West moves more and more online. Who will do the grunt labor or ‘gig’ work for minimum wage and next to no benefits?
     
    It is a vicious spiral moving inwards and picking up speed. For an example go to substack and have a look at those article writers who, loosely speaking, are on "our" side. More and more of these writers demand you pay at least $8/mo. for the privilege of reading their thoughts. They will let you have their not too bad, pretty good or so-so articles for free, but later they (or most of them) try to rein you in with the beginnings of something much more juicy - and then demand you sign up for a fee. Like watching the first half of a fascinating film on Turner Classic Movies, then being told you have to pay to see the second half.

    So, WHO exactly is paying these writers? Other writers doing the same schtick? Or the few persons left doing necessary productive labor (grunt style or better)? Retired persons on pensions?

    This style of economy seems to be growing, as you say, but surely at some point it has to cave in. Or back to 90 per cent of the population doing necessary, productive work, but there will likely not be any good wages or benefits. Those days are over.

    This is an interesting thought. The aberration is the petrodollar economy. The petrodollar system has fostered a perception of inherent American economic prosperity by enabling persistent trade deficits without the currency devaluation typically required to correct them, allowing the USA to maintain high consumption levels while offloading manufacturing abroad. This has allowed the USA to finance government spending and military expansion by recycling oil revenues into USA Treasuries, which has kept interest rates artificially low and masked the long-term erosion of the domestic industrial base. Consequently, the economy appears robust due to asset price inflation and financialization rather than productive growth, creating a false prosperity that relies on global demand for dollars rather than domestic economic fundamentals.

    True prosperity would require a shift from financial speculation to domestic investment in physical and human capital, including skilled and unskilled immigrant labor. Underpinning it all, there needs to be a new monetary and financial architecture, investment in real assets and productive capacity, and a shift towards a multipolar, cooperative global system. None of this is possible while the petrodollar exists.

    To put it simply, the US will not genuinely prosper while the Yahoo pours oily poison into the King’s ear. End that and there’s hope.

    Perhaps already posted here: Short version:

    Trump recently filed his "periodic transactions report" for the first quarter of 2026. It is 113 pages long and lists 3600 stock trades between January and March involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

    The report shows the president is heavily invested in companies who's businesses are directly affected by his very own policies. He is simultaneously trading their stocks while making decisions that influence the value of their stock price.

    Example: He invested in Oracle while brokering the deal for the company to buy Tik Tok. etc (more shocking examples in the video).

     

    This looks like something one would expect from perhaps Sub Saharan dictatorships in Africa. The president seems to be busy day-trading on his own decisions, enriching himself handsomely.

    The funny thing is I haven't read anything about this in my morning newspapers who translate news from the western/U.S. MSM and almost daily provide new stories about the oddities of the current U.S. presidency. But not this?!

    >who’s businesses

    Whose businesses.

    The woman in the video says Trump is ‘actively trading stocks’, but that’s almost certainly not true — it’s whoever is handling his financial accounts while he’s president — but no one would be surprised if there was some degree of corruption in that, similar to the rather obvious insider trading in oil futures after the start of the conflict with Iran.

    Related is a post about Affinity Partners, an asset management company started by Jared Kushner that handles money from Gulf states — they filed a disclosure earlier this year showing assets under management increased 25% since Trump returned to office.

    Obviously Trump is scum, and all of this is extremely unseemly.

    "Whose businesses."
    Thanks for the correction.

    As for the rest: It would be interesting to compare transaction reports from former presidents with this recent statement from Trump. Or for someone to take a really deep dive into this to really figure out what's going on. Current optics are horrible to say the least.

    I think I am not exaggerating when I say only a fraction of 1% of what Trump seems to be doing would be considered huge scandal and no doubt topple ministers and even governments in many countries. A total breach of trust in high office and along the lines of insider trading on the stock market and likely much more.

    I am seriously surprised. The U.S. has done exceptional job at keeping up appearances world wide (or at least in the west) until recently, projecting such image that right wingers look to it as role model when it comes to rule of law and such things. This is so far off it really boggles the mind.

    Nilus, you have written all the above around 4 times now, and each time your disagreement with me, and/or NS get weaker. IMO, it's not true that Germans or Europeans ever practiced "racial worship"; that's such an extreme idea. As you yourself say, it's just self-respect. Your position now seems to boil down to only "Nothing can be placed above God," which is easy to agree with. The difficulty is that everyone understands "God" a little differently. People are like snowflakes; no two are identical. That is a design feature, not a flaw or problem. It does mean that no one can say what is "right" or "true" for another, or judge others as being wrong bc, as the Indian saying goes, "I haven''t walked in their moccasins."

    That's not to say that Nilus was "right" or "wrong" to agree with Seraphim, but that it makes no difference that he did so bc it has no meaning anyway. Just blah, blah.

    I think it would benefit mankind to learn about the "new science", in particular Quantum Field Theory and Consciousness studies. There is a revolution taking place in Science that blows so many long-held beliefs out of the water. I recommend Don Hoffman, the psychologist from Irvine CA, and also of course Federico Faggin, in case anyone needs a place to start.

    I've heard our present time described as the "Age of Disclosure." I think that's appropriate. Think Epstein files, UFO/UAP files -- which is just the beginning. I agree we're in some kind of "End-times" but of a very different kind than most imagine the "end" to be. There is no actual end. This "age" is more like a "time" bc it's going by very fast. A slow, leisurely pace is a thing of the past. If you don't pay attention you'll miss so much. I feel very privileged to have arrived on the scene in 1941 -- the beginning of the Atomic Age, with a projected end date of 2034. Will it pan out? We'll see. Even between then and now, nothing will be the same as now; we'll all know that life is all there is; there is no death, just for starters. The bible parable comes to mind: Keep your lamp lit for you never know when the master will return." IOW, don't fall asleep; stay awake so as not to miss the special moments that are coming. Things happen/change in an instant.

If Iran is determined to retrieve the enriched uranium they would not wait ten years even if a nuke is dropped on it."
     
    The Japanese nuke bombs were airbursts. If we were going after the existing uranium, we would use a ground burst bomb. If we wanted to be extra nasty, we would design it as a dirty bomb that would contaminate the local area for decades to centuries, like Chernobyl.

    Here are three reasons why the US should NOT withdraw from the Gulf, regardless of inflation worries or gas prices.

    1. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to keep the enriched uranium they hold. If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

    Dendrochronology (tree rings) — continuous sequences going back thousands of years, cross-validated across continents, with no "missing" centuries
    Ice core records — volcanic events dateable to specific years appear consistently with standard chronology
    Radiocarbon dating — calibrated against dendrochronology, independently confirms timelines

  • @Dr. Robert Morgan
    Ricardo Duchesne: "I did not say the cases of Japan and China refute Ellul, ..."

    When you wrote "My idea can’t be found in the writings of technological determinists. Their arguments can’t account for China’s case, or Japan’s, ..." that seemed to me to be what you were saying. I thought you were making the same objection that Jared Taylor has made. In outline form, it runs:

    The West has technology.
    China and Japan have the same technology.
    Chinese and Japanese don't have an immigration problem; they aren't replacing themselves with immigrants.
    Therefore: Ellul is wrong. Technology determines nothing.

    But that's an absurd oversimplification of Ellul's argument. He's saying that human actions are driven by technological necessity, and if he were still alive to speak in response, I think he'd say that the cases of China and Japan don't prove him wrong because those overcrowded societies don't have a technological need to import people. Perhaps he'd also point out that the technological histories of those societies are quite different, both having been opened up by force. They received Western technology relatively recently from outside rather than as a native development, so as societies they can't be expected to follow exactly the same trajectory as the West.

    Also, to characterize Ellul and Kaczynski as determinists is quite wrong, since they both seem to think that though it might be very difficult, humanity can voluntarily turn things around; i.e., that ultimately man can save himself if only he comes to his senses. It's a little ambiguous, but that's what you think too, isn't it? You conclude:

    Only a profound restructuring of Western societies, more radical in scope than any previous transformation in our history, combined with a deep cultural and psychological reorientation of European peoples away from universalist liberalism, offers any realistic hope of escape.
     
    It's unclear to me whether you mean by this that the restructuring you refer to will first require a collapse of the entire system, or that it could take place on a voluntary basis. What's your prescription for change? Do you call for direct action to cause a collapse, or just more attempts to "wake people up"? If the latter, then what alternatives to capitalism and liberalism do you suggest?

    I agree, but it’s not THE Jews. It is the Judeosatanist, Judeosupremacist and Zionazi elites (with their goy stooges), driving the process, that many Jews oppose, if only because it places them in danger, and is destroying the societies in which they live. Blaming all Jews for the crimes of the elites is a favourite Zionazi trope, ie that ALL goyim hate ALL Jews, simply because they are Jews.

    Are people really paying an additional “$3,000 per capita” in federal taxes each year?

    No. Much of it is being borrowed. It is unlikely our posterity will pay it with direct taxes. Historically, such 'payments' have been through debasement. The phrase everyone is uttering constantly is affordability. That is the sound of people becoming poor. Unable to buy a house, car, pay for medical insurance, pay for medical expenses in spite of having insurance because of copayments and deductibles etc., Median household isn't very happy. That is the “$3,000 per capita” you are searching for.

    I talk to my girlfriend most afternoons when she’s driving home from work. She talks about what I call the Obamacare Patient of the Day quite a bit. Today’s just happened to be an illegal Guatemalan, a 36-year-old landscaper with Medicaid coverage through MassHealth’s “free care” pool, as are most of the illegals. He’s diabetic and has chronic kidney problems, so he needs a nephrology consult as well as treatment and drugs for his chronic conditions.

    Poor Median Household has to pay for the medical care they get. Squatemalan illegal is covered gratis.

    Yeah, I know. I’m opposed to AIPAC’s influence too, which makes me appreciate Massie. But then Massie goes on to oppose Trump on things which seem to have nothing to do with AIPAC/Israel. Why? I don’t think it’s “principles” or “Constitutionalism” because he’ll back Democrats in defiance of those same principles that he’s supposedly holding against Trump.
     
    How has he "backed Democrats"? I don't see that Massie has done much of anything wrong while in office. He has consistently opposed unrestrained government spending, by Republican and Democrat administrations, defended the rightful authority of Congress against Executive encroachment, and acted to uphold the law and long-established parliamentary procedures.

    Voting against the Republican budget when your own guys are in power is the big one. Yes, I agree the FedGov is too big, but denying your own side funding while the opposition doesn’t suffer from “principled restraint” helps the opposition in practice. Being a dog-in-the-manger over the small amount of Federal spending that is discretionary is kind of showboaty. If you really want to restrain Federal spending, bring the 3/4+ of Federal spending that is on autopilot back to the voting table.

    NumbersUSA gives Massie a milquetoastish C+ on immigration votes in the current legislative term. That’s an improvement over the previous one where he was an F though.

    The handy Govtrack.us PCA plot of Congress members shows Massie in the left tranche of Republican Congressmen. Not the worst, but maybe the 15th worst.

    “You still have a problem with whites advocating for themselves in their own countries”

    I believe in freedom of speech. They can say what they want. I do not agree with some of the tactics they use or whether their ideas are practical. For example, I do not think advocating going back to government enforced segregation or talking about how life was better then is a good idea. The majority of Whites now do not view government enforced segregation that way. Also, I do not think the majority of Whites would now support rounding up all the Blacks and sending them back to Africa.

    In addition to this, any political party
    is a collection of special interest groups. The members of each group need to advocate for their own group but also need to tell the members of the other groups their issue is important too and they will support them on it. Saying your issue is the only important issue and telling others their issue is unimportant just unnecessarily antagonizes any potential coalition partners.

    Thomas Massie is currently in a tight House primary race. His internal polling shows he is ahead with under fifty voters but behind with over fifty voters. He is not an open borders libertarian, believing in immigration restriction. What attracts him to younger voters, the future of conservatism, also includes his support of releasing the Epstein files, ending our pro-Israel foreign policy, bringing prices down by ending Fed inflationary policies, ending government spying on Americans without a warrant, and reducing government spending.

    It's been a fairly long time since the average American was easily manipulated by propaganda stoking moral indignation. There are basically two types of Americans who are numerous and assertive enough enough to "get riled up" and have it seriously matter in elections. The liberals, who are largely performative and whose sincerity is generally a matter of their believing they're part of a group that is in control of this country, responsible, and that they are the "good people" in this country. The types who are stereotypically from New England, listen to NPR, were once called "bleeding-heart liberals" because the performance was once a lot more maudlin. Their most recent "performance" (when these people become truly noxious swine) was during the COVID hysteria and forced kike injection clampdown.

    Then there are the rednecks, who are less performative about insults to Murica, and see attacks as a slight on their honor. For them, something like 9/11 or the attack on Pearl Harbor, or even the explosion of the Maine, are life and death matters. It is the old ones with this mentality who remember the humiliation of the hostage crisis who regard the Iranians as subhumans who basically deserve destruction. These people are degraded humanity, senile, ignorant, old, and disengaged enough from the matters that are concerned with their well-being (beyond the price of gas) that they are capable of supporting the war.

    Trump's four grandparents grew up overseas, his mother was born on the Isle of Lewis. It's possible he has a genetic or epigenetic tendency to be hypercritical to insult, as the maintenance of reputation in Gaelic speaking Clan based societies was an extreme social requirement. This same combativeness is famous, at least historically, among the Appalachian descended population of the United States. So Trump, in his senile old fool's mind, is not just obeying his kike masters who are his gods on this earth. He is getting revenge on America's enemies for supposedly committing all sorts of dastardly deeds against Americans over decades.

    This is in fact a rather nasty gaslighting propaganda article by 'Puerto Rican born' (crypto Jewish?) Ricardo Duchesne

    He is claiming that there is no 'racial attack' by Jews and other elites against whites ... it is the 'inner logic' of liberalism and capitalism at work, he says. That is bullshite. The 'inner logic' of things do not progress unless elites approve of the particular trend. There is lots of 'inner logic' systematically suppressed. Duchesne is pretending that the cover story of 'liberal ideas' and 'markets', is the actual basis of what is going on, with a few jargonist terms ('Fordism', 'limbic' etc) as additional smokescreen.

    The elites - like people generally - think in private in very racialist terms, and the sponsored hatred of whites comes from this. For all their flaws, european-heritage whites are the most dangerous global rebels, the combination of high intelligence with unique, highest-level strong impulses to non-conformity. They are the most creative and productive, so the elites don't wish to totally wipe them out, but elites want them decimated and brought to heel. This includes white elites who segregate themselves semi-racially from white commoners, thru elite social links (Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, 33 degree Freemasons, all that).

    Duchesne's eagerness to cover for Jews was noted more than a decade ago:

    There is a picture emerging that the Iran War is a staged financial ploy by the inner circle surrounding President Trump. This demands clarification that the mainstream media is not reporting.

    Mexican American geopolitical analyst Joaquin Flores has credibly revealed that Iran is receiving Tether bitcoin for its sales of oil (see his article (see Joaquin Flores, “Connecting the Dots From the Middle East to Europe and China”, May 6, Youtube.com).

    The war with Iran has put reduced oil supplies to China and Europe, resulting in pricing bubble for crude oil per barrel. Put differently, Iran’s war effort is indirectly being stimulated by the war and financed by Tether Bitcoins by Trump’s cronies through a company called Bitfinex, a finance firm off shored to El Salvador.

    Bitfinex was the first entity formed to trade in bitcoin in 2012. Bitfinex’s present chairman is Brandon Lutnick, son of Howard Lutnick, currently Secretary of Commerce. Brandon is also current chairman of the board of Cantor Fitzgerald, a global finance firm infamous for its 9/11 losses of 658 employees in the World Trade Center. At that time, Cantor Fitzgerald was owned and operated by Brandon’s father, Howard Lutnick. Howard Lutnick was also a neighbor and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, but he partly denies this despite making a trip to Epstein Island.

    Tether “tokens” (coins symbolized as USDT – US Dollar Tether) are backed by US Treasury Bills and gold reserves of the US Treasury. So, the US is indirectly financing Iran’s war effort, stimulating the price of oil upwards by restricting supply to China and Europe, and backing up the US debt and dollar as Tether is a fiat dollar collateralized stablecoin designed to keep a 1-to-1 par value with the US dollar.

    Iran’s de facto broker for sales of crude oil is Bitfinex. This raises a question whether Iran is colluding with Trump’s cronies to fabricate the war?

    Flores disturbingly also reports that Iran’s military has suffered no direct mortalities from the war. Flores states that one of Iran’s leaders who was allegedly “decapitated” at the start of the war has appeared in a video of a parade in Iran.

    Trump is the greatest presidential betrayer of Americans of all time but in my first hand experience his MAGA base grants him grace and forgiveness in keeping with their version of Christianity. The biggest example of cognitive denial ever.

    Perhaps already posted here: Short version:

    Trump recently filed his “periodic transactions report” for the first quarter of 2026. It is 113 pages long and lists 3600 stock trades between January and March involving hundreds of millions of dollars.

    The report shows the president is heavily invested in companies who’s businesses are directly affected by his very own policies. He is simultaneously trading their stocks while making decisions that influence the value of their stock price.

    Example: He invested in Oracle while brokering the deal for the company to buy Tik Tok. etc (more shocking examples in the video).

    This looks like something one would expect from perhaps Sub Saharan dictatorships in Africa. The president seems to be busy day-trading on his own decisions, enriching himself handsomely.

    Related is a post about Affinity Partners, an asset management company started by Jared Kushner that handles money from Gulf states -- they filed a disclosure earlier this year showing assets under management increased 25% since Trump returned to office.

    Hmmm . . . interesting response. I am not that intelligent don’t even pretend to be. What I was looking for is the calculus. In other words what were the method of how this number was derived. The method is largely derived from slave payments. But that is misleading, because A black person purchasing a slave was not in fact purchasing a slave, but a spouse, a child, a parent, etc.

    Furthermore, considering the nature of black status in the US, even if free, would have been an extraordinary case(s) and that would include, those whites who were of the 0ne drop rule variety, whose mix was so undiscernible top advance to some place in the society.

    And I am not intelligent enough to argue that blacks did not own slaves as slaves — or workers. I have little doubt that some blacks did in fact own slaves. Your assumptions about my motives missed the inquisitive I was most interested in — the calculus and context. I can certainly read a chart that calculates this dynamic to less than 1%. But I was curious bout the context as from your own read. The reason I mentioned it is because this is not a new data set. It has been well known that some blacks owned slaves. But the conclusion has largely been based on payment records, which is misleading as Mr. D Souza discovered. We know that a few slaves were white, indentured, which was a form of slavery — but not slavery.

    At any rate, the numbers make the case that slavery was a color matter as reinforced by the practice of kidnapping free blacks and selling them into slavery.

    The Big Lie, the lie of the millennium, was the 19th century abolition of slavery.
     
    I agree to a degree with most of your presentation, but this point stood out. Observable reality is sufficient to put the lie to that abolition claim.

    The British were the biggest liars of all, with their compulsive habit of whitewashing history. I became aware of this when studying William Wilberforce, who is wrongly regarded by the British as the man who abolished the slave trade. In truth, Wilberforce succeeded only in ending the transportation of slaves in the British Empire with the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. The other bit of legislation he was involved with before he died was the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which went a bit further but it aimed to ‘end’ slavery by compensating slave owners for the loss of their “property” while not providing compensation to the formerly enslaved, missing the point entirely.

    The trade still persists today, as much in Britain and the West as anywhere. We call it ‘Epstein partying’, or ‘rape grooming’, or Ukrainian war conscription, or Palestinian ‘lawn-mowing’, or usurious Central Bank lending, etc. Different names, same violation of the inherent dignity and rights of human beings, reducing them to property, disposables or commodities.

    Thanks for your thoughtful response.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that self deception (though deception none the less) plays a massive and often untold role in a great many historical events.

    The more honest (even brutally honest when necessary) in general people can be about things, the better.

    I became aware of this when studying William Wilberforce, who is wrongly regarded by the British as the man who abolished the slave trade.

    I have sometimes wondered what might be found if a financial forensic deep dive was undertaken to determine exactly where the funding was coming from for the ‘abolition movement’. Did most of the funding for it come from the broad public as we are led to believe, or, did the bulk of the funding come from financiers and banks?

    The other bit of legislation he [Wilberforce] was involved with before he died was the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which went a bit further but it aimed to ‘end’ slavery by compensating slave owners for the loss of their “property”

    And one wonders why they couldn’t have at least tried recompensing Southerners for their three million slaves. True, it would have been costly, but the Civil War which actually took place was even more costly still, no doubt.

    The trade still persists today, as much in Britain and the West as anywhere….reducing them to property, disposables or commodities.

    Anglosphere elites and hangers engaging in chattel slavery and it’s trade were a minority amongst these elites, I imagine, albeit a powerful one.

    [MORE]

    When wage slavery (ie so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’) was adopted in the early 19th century and falsely promoted as representing chattel slavery’s ‘abolition’, it was comparable to sometime taking a bucket of liquid water, freezing it, and making a big show that the now frozen solid ice (which had merely changed some of it’s peripheral outer characteristics) was now no longer H2O.

    Going from the already ghastly chattel slavery to the even more malignant and destructive wage slavery (ie ‘cheap labor’ so called) is a bit like someone going from smoking crack to mainlining heroine, and claiming they’ve ‘kicked the habit’, when in reality they are more addicted than ever.

    Or, if one were to compare chattel slavery to a cancer, wage slavery (‘cheap labor’) would represent slavery’s metasticization to all the organs of the body politic.

    The 19th century failure of the Anglosphere to have dealt with slavery in a truthful manner, and the resulting broad commodification of people, has been terribly baneful.

    As an example, the Irish Famine era September 30, 1851 London Times editorial linked below, published nearly a full generation after slavery’s purported abolition in 1833, and with all due respect, casually refers to the descendant Plantation population in the north of Ireland as a slave race (ie ‘more mixed’, ‘more docile’, and ‘which can submit to a master’) which, nevertheless, the Times sees as being slated to take the place of ‘Celtic’ Ireland.

    The Celtic Irish as wage slaves (‘cheap labor’) are enmasse expected to ‘mix’ away in North America, and thus be ‘known no more’

    The Times adds that this hell vision for Ireland and the Irish people that it has outlined is now ‘no longer a dream’, but ‘a fact now in progress’.

    The US ambassador to Britain and Ireland that the editorial features, Abbott Lawrence, is a bit like the fox guarding the hen house when it comes to Ireland.

    He is of the Lawrence family of Massachusetts textile factory magnates who have already financed the construction of the planned industrial city of Lawrence ‘Immigrant City, Mass, and will soon be financing the construction of it’s infamous sister city, the abolition center of Lawrence, ‘Bleeding’ Kansas.

    The textile factory magnates want the lower costs wage slaves (‘cheap labor’) from well, wherever, picking the cotton which feeds their mills, to replace the highly expensive and inefficient chattel slaves.

    The former US Treasury Secretary, territorial governor of Bleeding Kansas (1857), and the financial representative of the Lincoln administration in London in 1863, Robert J Walker, taking numerous variables into account, found that wage slave dependent Massachusetts had four times the productivity of chattel slave dependent South Carolina.

    Walker’s 1863 London calculations were featured in an 1864 ‘why we fight’ series of economic articles which he wrote and published for Northern consumption.

    With both chattel and wage slavery, the textile factory magnates get their much coveted ‘hit’ of stolen labor, it’s just that wage slavery (‘cheap labor’) is the more efficient and productive (and thus more profitable) way of going about it.

    That this is a truly genocidal system is of no concern to these elites and their hangers on.

    You make some interesting points. Gangs of New York was a difficult film to watch but informative if one can look past all the Hollywood fictions, embellishments and contortions. The Irish experience in both Britain and America is particularly informative on the topic of wage slavery, particularly as it preceded the modern obfuscating frameworks and could be seen in its raw social impacts.

    While I'm not persuaded by the white-replacement theories of Mr Duchesne's article because it's loaded with presuppositions, I'm persuaded that low wage employment is simply a more efficient form of slavery than chattel slavery.

    Reasons:

    Low-wage labor shifts the cost of worker maintenance (housing, food, healthcare) from the employer to the worker, thereby increasing profitability. The wage incentive structure also motivates skilled workers to develop expertise and avoid damaging expensive machinery. Chattel slaves often performed the bare minimum to avoid punishment.

    Low-wage employers don't need to provide housing, food, or medical care, as these are financed by the wages distributed to workers, reducing the employer's direct financial burden. This was done with great effect during the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

    Low-wage labor can be dismissed during economic downturns, allowing employers to adjust labor costs dynamically. Chattel slaves were often sold or freed at a capital loss but couldn't be fired.

    Low-wage labor allows for a more fluid capital accumulation process without the high upfront purchase price and long-term upkeep of human property. Chattel slaves were locked-up collateral and assets.

    Low-wage workers have an incentive to work efficiently and maintain equipment to keep their jobs, whereas slave labor often resulted in sabotage or minimal effort due to the lack of reward for extra work.

    Low-wage workers are more willing to accept dangerous or hazardous conditions to gain employment, which allows employers to maximize output with less direct coercion or oversight. Chattel slaves required constant vigilance to prevent escape or rebellion.

    Low-wage labor is reinforced by their own debt, which reduces worker mobility and negotiating power, making them more compliant and less likely to take risks, such as striking or changing jobs. Chattel slaves had a stake only in their survival and freedom.

    Immigrants merely have a lower incentive threshold than locals, regardless of race.

  • Ricardo Duchesne: “I did not say the cases of Japan and China refute Ellul, …”

    When you wrote “My idea can’t be found in the writings of technological determinists. Their arguments can’t account for China’s case, or Japan’s, …” that seemed to me to be what you were saying. I thought you were making the same objection that Jared Taylor has made. In outline form, it runs:

    The West has technology.
    China and Japan have the same technology.
    Chinese and Japanese don’t have an immigration problem; they aren’t replacing themselves with immigrants.
    Therefore: Ellul is wrong. Technology determines nothing.

    But that’s an absurd oversimplification of Ellul’s argument. He’s saying that human actions are driven by technological necessity, and if he were still alive to speak in response, I think he’d say that the cases of China and Japan don’t prove him wrong because those overcrowded societies don’t have a technological need to import people. Perhaps he’d also point out that the technological histories of those societies are quite different, both having been opened up by force. They received Western technology relatively recently from outside rather than as a native development, so as societies they can’t be expected to follow exactly the same trajectory as the West.

    Also, to characterize Ellul and Kaczynski as determinists is quite wrong, since they both seem to think that though it might be very difficult, humanity can voluntarily turn things around; i.e., that ultimately man can save himself if only he comes to his senses. It’s a little ambiguous, but that’s what you think too, isn’t it? You conclude:

    Only a profound restructuring of Western societies, more radical in scope than any previous transformation in our history, combined with a deep cultural and psychological reorientation of European peoples away from universalist liberalism, offers any realistic hope of escape.

    It’s unclear to me whether you mean by this that the restructuring you refer to will first require a collapse of the entire system, or that it could take place on a voluntary basis. What’s your prescription for change? Do you call for direct action to cause a collapse, or just more attempts to “wake people up”? If the latter, then what alternatives to capitalism and liberalism do you suggest?

    It’s working so well, not a single one of the 155 million bona fide  voters  idiots in the USA suspects that Trump is a complete automaton. The chip has an auto-update feature that ensures the puppet’s actions and sounds become increasingly ridiculous/outrageous/entertaining as times passes.

    Futurology experts say that constant demand for an ever-more amazing/unbelievable output will soon produce a Trump puppet ostensibly suffering from Tourette syndrome and Parkinson’s-type tremors but in fact capable of simultaneously strumming and juggling three banjos while singing Oh! Susanna in the new White House Ballroom on July 4th. Book now!

    Per NYT today Trump's approval rating sinks to new low as does the popularity of the Iran war. Polls on the war per the article:

    All respondents: 30% right decision, 64% wrong decision.

    Democrats: 5% right decision, 95% wrong decision

    Independents: 21% right decision, 73% wrong decision

    Republicans: 70% right decision, 22% wrong decision

    The GOP is hopelessly overrun by a bunch of greedy, selfish, out-of-touch old white men who still think it's okay to just invade other people's countries and take their oil, like it's still the 1960s. They have no clue how the world has moved on from the one they grew up in, that they are no longer top dogs. Some of them probably know but just refuse to accept it.

    That 70% is rather dispiriting. It shows MAGA still dominates the GOP but they are no longer wearing Trump hats. It is now a quiet movement.

    Around half my neighbors will back Trump on absolutely anything which is very disturbing.

    I wonder how many people I talk to actually support Trump on the war but pretend not to for social reasons.

    I really don’t understand the cult appeal of Trump. I backed him over Hillary and was willing to give him a chance despite his questionable business background. But 70% of the GOP is still supporting him even with the Iran war disaster and Epstein files? This is insane.

    Trump is now the boss level swamp monster and the GOP (mostly White men) are still backing him. What the friggity F. So disappointing.

    This is in fact a rather nasty gaslighting propaganda article by 'Puerto Rican born' (crypto Jewish?) Ricardo Duchesne

    He is claiming that there is no 'racial attack' by Jews and other elites against whites ... it is the 'inner logic' of liberalism and capitalism at work, he says. That is bullshite. The 'inner logic' of things do not progress unless elites approve of the particular trend. There is lots of 'inner logic' systematically suppressed. Duchesne is pretending that the cover story of 'liberal ideas' and 'markets', is the actual basis of what is going on, with a few jargonist terms ('Fordism', 'limbic' etc) as additional smokescreen.

    The elites - like people generally - think in private in very racialist terms, and the sponsored hatred of whites comes from this. For all their flaws, european-heritage whites are the most dangerous global rebels, the combination of high intelligence with unique, highest-level strong impulses to non-conformity. They are the most creative and productive, so the elites don't wish to totally wipe them out, but elites want them decimated and brought to heel. This includes white elites who segregate themselves semi-racially from white commoners, thru elite social links (Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, 33 degree Freemasons, all that).

    Duchesne's eagerness to cover for Jews was noted more than a decade ago:

    A lot of the early territotorial gains were not sustainable, not enough troops. If you want to measure the war by land gained and lost then Russia is up by 20%. If it stays they win on points (plus no NATO). In 2022 Kiev could have gotten a better deal if they accepted the inevitable (no NATO) and focused on keeping what they could. Size of the Ukie army is irrelevant - you don't make peace with a stronger opponent by fighting a war. That is so basic that one wonders how dumb or bought is the Kiev elite.

    [Saddam] should have been given a nice suit and a firing squad. A despicable leader but he obviously lost and deserved a king’s execution. A few hundred years ago it would have been considered tasteless and low brow to kill a political leader in such crude fashion.
     
    Hermann Göring was pissed off at Nuremberg about how the executions were to be by hanging and not by firing squad. But he out smarted the Americans and their kangaroo courts; Göring, with his 138 IQ took his own life on his own terms with a cyanide capsule he managed to keep hidden or that was smuggled, wittingly or not, to him.

    From Görings suicide note:

    “I would have had no objection to being shot. However, I will not facilitate execution of Germany’s Reichsmarschall by hanging! For the sake of Germany, I cannot permit this...Moreover, I feel no moral obligation to submit to my enemies’ punishment. For this reason, I have chosen to die like the great Hannibal.”

    Looks like Göring, a provenly brave and intelligent man, had the last laugh in taking his own life:

    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    To some extent I discussed these issues in a very long 2020 article on the intellectual history of American white racialism:

    An article in Bild about the same UNICEF study which showed that among 15 y/o students in Germany, 40% can barely read and do arithmetic:

    Bildungs-Alarm -- 40 Prozent der 15-Jährigen können kaum rechnen und lesen

    The article doesn't mention migration at all, instead it says there is a big difference between 'benachteiligten Familien' (disadvantaged families), and 'privilegierten Familien' (privileged families), i.e. the same bullshit you see in every white country with an underachieving and growing non-white population -- it reminds me of the 'bad schools' rhetoric in US media.

    But in general the lower the age cohort, the greater the fraction with Migrationshintergrund -- so this problem will get worse.

    Exactly! And according to Ted Postol, the process of enriching from 60% to weapons grade could take place in a space the size of a large business office in any business building. The Iranians must be viewed as having nuclear weapons already, regardless of Trump's endless blather about how important it is to prevent them from getting a nuke. If this entire war has shown anything, it is that Iran is a rational player. It is the US that is the unhinged regime, the primary danger to humanity today.

    I used to think I had good blood pressure, because that is what the person who records it would say, but I am starting to think that it is just the expected number under a certain age, and it will inevitably explode, after a certain age.

    IIRC, Barbarossa said he had normal blood pressure and a high fat diet, which makes me think that BP just isn't a sensitive metric below a certain age, saving some kind of peculiar disorder.

    I recently heard of someone with 220 systolic (nearly 2x me), and I genuinely didn't know that that was physcally possible. In my mind, I compared them to a bird - as birds tend to have really high BP, so they can fly.

It is essentially an apocalyptic cult trying to destroy the world to fulfill a biblical prophesy.

    Their support of Israel is built primarily on the mention of a Third Temple in Jerusalem. They believe for the end of the world to happen, Israel must exist under Jewish control and construct a new temple. Israel knows this, which is why they aren’t building the temple. But they could. That’s all the kikelovers need to justify their behavior. Of course, Christcucks can’t force the Jews to build the temple or something.

    The people who believe this aren’t just common, but in high positions of power. Trump believes in nothing other than the Jewdollar, but kikelovers like Hegshit actually think the apocalypse is a good thing. These are people allowed to have control over nuclear weapons.

    And Americans say Iranians are too unstable to have nukes.

    Putin is responsible for this. He’s been proven worthless.
    
    https://twitter.com/pizzintwatch/status/2056089445921624360

    In his weak desire for negotiation with and approval from the West, he has exposed Russia to ceaseless attack. As a result, Russian civilians have died. Kiev leadership targets Russian civilians, women and children. But Putin won’t target the criminals in Kiev. He won’t take out the Kiev gangsters who murder Russian women and children.
    
    Putin will pile up millions of dead Ukrainian bodies but won’t say a word about Jewish gangsters(who control the US and EU) have been behind this whole thing. Putin is a useless coward.
    
    The war began in 2022 and Ukraine is next door to Russia, but Russia still hasn’t brought this to an end. It means Russia is weak or stupid. Too weak to defeat Ukraine. Or too stupid to realize that you cannot negotiate or bargain with Jewish gangsters, the same kind of people who do genocide in Gaza and target civilians in Iran and support ISIS scum in Syria, which Russia failed or refused to defend(from Israeli bombings). Russia took on ISIS but not the forces behind ISIS(US and Israel).
    
    Consider the difference between the Jewish way of war and the Russian way of war. Jews target the leaders. They decapitated Hezbollah leadership, even blowing up entire apartment blocs to kill the leaders. They decapitated the Iranian leadership. Also, the Jewish-run deep state targeted Putin for assassination in his very home. Trump was on the phone to keep Putin distracted while 100s of drones were sent to take out Putin. Jews are like a boxer who targets the head of the opponent. Russia is like a boxer that targets only the body, never the head. Jews targeted Putin in one failed assassination attempt after another, but Putin will not target the Jewish gangster scum in Kiev.
    
    Putin still won’t call out the Jews. He still negotiates with the US and EU. His threats against EU and NATO fall on deaf years because the West knows Putin is a wussy.
    
    Russia is like the Cowardly Bear who says, “touch me once more” but never does anything and keeps getting poked and poked and poked.
    
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V39sS1bEZLM
    
    Even though the Jewish-controlled West goes for decapitation and takes out the leaders of other nations, Putin won’t touch the scum in Kiev. Instead, he only kills lowly Ukrainian men forcibly dragged into service by the Ukrainian secret police.
    The way things are going, Ukraine won’t have any Ukrainian men left. Jews will take over and import Africans and Muslims to serve as their minions. This is what Blackrock wants, and Putin is unwittingly(or maybe wittingly) doing the bidding of Jews by clearing Ukraine of its men while Jews plan to take over the territory as New Pale of Settlement with Third World migrants as their helots.
    
    Compare what the US did and what Russia does. US took out the leadership of Iran on the first day even though Iran never attacked the US. In contrast, even though Kiev routinely targets and murders Russian women and children, Putin doesn’t target the gangsters in Kiev. Russians deserve a stronger leader who will defend Russians from Jewish gangsters. Putin grumbles about Kiev but allows to keep killing Russians. It’s about time Russians overthrew wussy Putin and got themselves a real leader.
    
    One thing for sure, if US and Mexico were at war and if Mexico shot drones to Washington D.C. to kill the president and targeted US citizens, killing women and children by blowing them up, the US wouldn’t be dragging on the war for more than three yrs. It wouldn’t be sparing the leaders in Mexico City.
    US would target the leadership and take out all Mexican military at once, especially as Mexico is right next to the US.
    
    But slow, stupid, lazy, and cowardly Russians refuse to take decisive action. Putin refuses to target the very gangsters who target innocent Russian civilians.
    
    Russia has become a total disgrace and laughing stock in the eyes of the world. EU is full of losers but they are taunting Russia and sending more drones to Ukraine because they know Putin is a wussy lawyer, not a real national leader.

    Interesting you should mention that. Here is Andrei Martyanov arguing that Russia can take out France’s nuclear potential including the submarines and is alluding that it will actually do it.

    Andrei Martyanov is just plain full of shit.

    You can't track the submarines of any country due to saltwater. It doesn't allow the transmission of electromagnetic signals which is why submarines have to be near the surface to communicate. This has been a limitation of submarines since WW1 and Andrei does not have a solution.

    France like most nuclear powers always has a nuclear submarine deployed. You can't first strike the country without retaliation.

    Andrei should stay in his lane and go back to telling us that Ukraine is about to collapse in his rambling sentences and Borat accent. His dreams of mass murdering the French are most likely the result of cognitive dissonance over the great 3 day SMO.

    [Saddam] should have been given a nice suit and a firing squad. A despicable leader but he obviously lost and deserved a king’s execution. A few hundred years ago it would have been considered tasteless and low brow to kill a political leader in such crude fashion.
     
    Hermann Göring was pissed off at Nuremberg about how the executions were to be by hanging and not by firing squad. But he out smarted the Americans and their kangaroo courts; Göring, with his 138 IQ took his own life on his own terms with a cyanide capsule he managed to keep hidden or that was smuggled, wittingly or not, to him.

    From Görings suicide note:

    “I would have had no objection to being shot. However, I will not facilitate execution of Germany’s Reichsmarschall by hanging! For the sake of Germany, I cannot permit this...Moreover, I feel no moral obligation to submit to my enemies’ punishment. For this reason, I have chosen to die like the great Hannibal.”

    Looks like Göring, a provenly brave and intelligent man, had the last laugh in taking his own life:

  • @arete
    @ltlee1

    This is the sharpest version of the objection in our entire thread, so it's worth my being precise about where I believe that it lands and where (IMHO) it doesn't.

    On Evergrande, you've half-identified something real, but you've got the causality backwards. The soft budget constraint was never primarily a claim about the moment of default. In Professor Kornai's original formulation, it's a claim about the entire preceding period leading up to that default—the years credit is extended on terms a genuine market test would reject, because lenders, borrowers, and local officials all expect growth or refinancing or state backing to cover the gap. This is roughly analogous to the Fed Put installed by Greenspan in the US, but far more explicit and formalized and intrusive into the economy. The malinvestment is created during the soft phase preceding the inevitable credit squeeze. To wit, Evergrande borrowed and built for two decades under exactly those lax-governmental conditions, and that is how it accumulated $300 billion in liabilities building housing in cities that didn't need it. The 2021 default isn't the absence of a soft constraint; rather, it's the soft constraint's accumulated bill finally exceeding the system's capacity to keep papering over it. A hard budget constraint would have cut Evergrande's credit off a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling, and there would have been no $300 billion hole to default on. The default is the reckoning the framework predicts, not its refutation.

    You're right that US bailouts—Fannie, Freddie, AIG, GM—are themselves a soft-constraint phenomenon, and I'll concede that openly. "Too big to fail" is a real, well-criticized distortion. But the difference is structural versus episodic. The US bailouts were crisis-triggered, politically contested, partial, and rare. The Chinese version—with state banks lending to SOEs, LGFVs, and developers at policy direction as the normal continuous operating mode of the system—is much more structural and permanent. And note that the GSEs like Freddie got into some of the worst trouble during the mortgage crisis even though they were legally barred from the worst tiers of credit, and this is because they most resembled Chinese operations, with explicit government backstop and obviously party-driven appointees to the senior/executive ranks. So I am willing to criticize these structurally soft budget constraints wherever they exist, including in the US. Thus, those others reading here and claiming (falsely) that I am an anti-Sino or Sinophobic are way off base.

    Meanwhile, the LGFV refinancing swaps you mention are themselves a textbook soft-budget mechanism: Beijing converting unpayable hidden local debt into longer-dated, lower-rate official bonds precisely so the entities never face a hard constraint. You cited the swaps as evidence the constraint is hard. They are one of the clearest live examples of it being soft.

    On infrastructure, long payback isn't malinvestment, and I've granted that by already noting that some Chinese infrastructure that looked wasteful turned out to be productive. But "long payback" and "negative lifetime return" are different things, which I already also mentioned by referencing Marks famous quote. A bridge that takes fifteen years to pay back is a good long-duration investment. A bridge in a county with a shrinking population that will never carry enough traffic to cover maintenance, let alone capital cost, is malinvestment on any horizon. The test isn't whether an asset has returned cash yet; instead, it's whether there's any horizon on which its discounted lifetime cash flows are positive. For a large share of LGFV infrastructure the answer is no, and that isn't a timing artifact.

    Your excess-capacity argument is where the internal contradiction shows very clearly. You argue that "excess capacity" is nonsense because marginal cost equals marginal price, so sustained production below cost is irrational and self-correcting. That well-known economics principle is true as far as it goes—in a competitive market with hard budget constraints. And that's the catch. Excess capacity persists in Chinese steel, solar, aluminum, and increasingly EVs and batteries precisely because the producers are not subject to the hard constraint that your argument assumes. A firm that can borrow indefinitely from state banks at below-market rates, draw on local subsidies, land, and tax breaks, and faces political pressure to maintain output and employment can and does produce below cost for years. The losses are absorbed by the banking system and ultimately by households through repressed deposit rates, harming the vast majority of Chinese. So your marginal-cost argument doesn't refute the soft budget constraint. No, it silently assumes the constraint away. And notice how this also contradicts your Evergrande argument, where you said the constraint is hard; however, here you assume it's hard and conclude excess capacity can't exist. But it demonstrably does, and the EU, US, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Indonesia have all imposed duties on subsidized Chinese overproduction. Either the constraint is soft and the framework holds, or excess capacity is real and unexplained. You can't run both arguments at once. I hope that's now clear to you.

    On the dollar overhang and gold, I have to say, that's a separate argument, and a real one. However, it's also a topic change, and not a legitimate response. We call that "moving the goalposts," which is a good way to say it as we excitedly await the World Cup here in North America, but I digress... The key thing to note is that my "China's growth model has a structural flaw" argument and your "US has a fiscal and monetary vulnerability" claim can both be true, and I'm not going to bother engaging on that one at this time; and certainly, your second doesn't refute my first. I've engaged the dollar question seriously elsewhere and I'm happy to again, but at some other time. Certainly, gold rising to $5,500 reflects real rates, central-bank diversification, geopolitical risk, and momentum, et. al., so it isn't a clean referendum on the dollar's reserve status, as I've stated many times before. And it absolutely isn't an answer to whether Chinese investment has been efficiently allocated. If you want to argue the dollar, that's its own conversation. It isn't the appropriate one to be raised here.

    In Professor Kornai’s original formulation, it’s a claim about the entire preceding period leading up to that default—the years credit is extended on terms a genuine market test would reject, because lenders, borrowers, and local officials all expect growth or refinancing or state backing to cover the gap.

    A hard budget constraint would have cut Evergrande’s credit off a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling, and there would have been no $300 billion hole to default on.

    Wow, boldly imagines where no one had imagined before.

    Sorry to inform you that you are not talking about soft budget contraint at all. Rather you are imagining China/Chinese government as the proverbial “Greater Fool.” The government did not looked into Evergrande and see how it fared in the market from year one. It simply covered the gap with more and more money year and year.

    Feel free to imagine China in whatever way you see fit. This will be my last post on this topic.

    Of course, you understand that your imagination could also apply to any failed company and government with huge debt.

    • Replies: @arete
    @ltlee1

    I'd gently point out that the description you've offered to refute the soft budget constraint is itself just a restatement of the soft budget constraint. You write that the government "did not look into Evergrande and see how it fared in the market from year one; instead, it simply covered the gap with more and more money year after year." That is the concept, stated precisely. Kornai's soft budget constraint never required a "Greater Fool" who evaluates a firm and funds it anyway. It requires exactly what you just described: an entity whose survival is decoupled from its market performance, with gaps covered irrespective of whether performance justifies it. You've restated the mechanism and called it a rebuttal. Not a winning argument for you, needless to say.

    You do land one fair point, though. My sentence about a hard constraint cutting Evergrande off "a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling" seemed to import a confident counterfactual that is hard to know in terms of a date—and no one can know that precisely. I'll concede that the sentence was confusing; however, it does nothing to undermine my larger argument, which doesn't need it. Just as no one could ex ante predict when the Soviet experiment would finally fail, so no one can say exactly when Evergrande would've been bankrupted under a hard budget constraint. We just know it never had one, and your description proves it, just as mine did.

    But your closing claim—that this framework "could apply to any failed company and government with huge debt"—is where your narrative really breaks down. The reality is it can't be applied as you say, and the reason is the whole point I've been making. A company that fails under a hard budget constraint fails because funding stopped when performance did: Lehman, a startup out of runway, buggy whip manufacturers, etc. That's the hard constraint working. The soft budget constraint names the opposite case—funding that continues despite performance, with the market signal overridden. The discriminating question is whether funding tracked performance or was decoupled from it. This means that, to use your words, "any failed company" isn't actually the reference class. Rather, "entities funded irrespective of whether they should be" is; thus, SOEs, LGFVs, and policy-directed lending recipients populate it for identifiable structural reasons. The framework discriminates. It just discriminates along the axis your comment declines to look at. Hope that's clear and makes sense.

    That's a fair place to leave it, I think. It's been a genuine exchange. So thanks for that!

    Just a guess but I bet Boston, even the city was pretty White in 1970-1975.

Of course, the whole of Cambridge, which was, then as now, dominated by its half-dozen or so elite universities, held an attitude toward blacks and other minorities that is best describable as worshipful. Nonetheless, the worship of blacks did not extend to desiring any growth in the size of their local presence.

    Boston is/was probably more racist than Birmingham, Alabama.

    Everyone was talking about cauldrons early on and they did form but much later and slower.

    Russia’s early rapid push made everyone expect for the war to be over quickly. Russia had almost encircled Kiev and Kharkov, and could have easily besieged these cities but then decided to move out. Ukrainians and their Western backers presented this as a Ukrainian victory which reduced the large scale occupation to just Lugansk and parts of three other oblasts in the southeast.

    People say that Russia is trying to spare its Ukrainian brothers and their cities but does it look like that? They have killed over a million Ukrainians and what do those cities look like after the Russian FABs have done their work on them?

    Then what about demilitarisation? Is the Ukraine more or less militarised than at the start of the war? Ukraine now has the ability to regularly strike deep within Russia, something that was unthinkable at the start of the war.

    I think Russia never really wanted to occupy most of the Ukraine and that is why it is going the way it is. Taking all, or most, of the Ukraine would imply policing the unruly population as well as providing funding. Isn’t it better that the EU keeps funding the Ukraine which will cause hardship and discontent in their own countries?

    Russia will probably be satisfied with taking those oblasts with Russian speaking populations that favour being part of Russia. Odessa deserves to be part of Russia but I’m not sure if the Russians will make the effort required to take it. Some compromise will have to be reached at some point and a peace treaty signed.

    The EU may decide to go to war against Russia later on but let’s leave that for when it happens.

  • @Augusto R.
    I'm tired of the comparisons of Trump to Caligula. It's not accurate.

    If Caligula was mad, there was a method to the madness. Caligula hated the Roman senate and the Roman elites. He hated them because of what they have done to his beloved mother, Agrippina the Elder: they have ordered her imprisoneded, have her beaten up so badly that she lost an eye, and eventually had her starved to death.

    If the elite political class of your country had your mother starved to death, wouldn't you be mad at them? In this perspective, doesn't such thing as making a horse a senator make sense? It's a premeditated mockery of the people you hate, not irregular madness. I recommend reading Ronald Auguet's biography of Caligula - he wasn't mad, he was a populist beloved by the common people and hated by the elites (and the elite propagandist Suetonius wrote down Caligula's biography as it is widely known).

    Now, if you want an accurate ancient analogy of Trump, try looking at the Ptolemies in Egypt. Many of them obese, insanely rich, partaking in incest (wasn't Ivanka a "hot piece of ass" back in the day?), and displaying luxury in the most obnoxious way (Trump loves having gold plated everything, like a "hood ass nigga").

    The interesting fact about the Ptolemies is that they were definitely not mad. All of the brother-sister marriages were calculated political acts. There's an excellent paper about this titled "The Power of Excess: Royal Incest and the Ptolemaic Dynasty" by anthropologist Sheila Ager.

    What Ager argues - convincingly - is that both the sexual extravaganzas (in case of Trump: Ivanka, underage beauty peagants, and everything Epstein-related) as well as the opulent displays of luxury were premeditated tools of power: use any mean possible to showcase that you are not like ordinary people, elevate yourself above your subjects, signal that you are a godlike ruler because you don't have to obey the rules that the common people must obey.

    This strategy worked for the Ptolemies. So far, it is also working for the Trumps.

    China and India relations and the war last year between India and Pakistan deserves more attention. Indian intellectual talk show has a good summary in the first few minutes on an interesting revelation about technical assistance to Pakistan during the war.

    Chinese media has released info on Chinese engineers during the Indo-Pakistan war. Chinese engineers had the essential role at Pakistani bases of maintaining the software of the Pakistani fighter planes. This helped thwart Indian victory over Pakistan because several Indian planes were shot down. India and Pakistan could easily have kept on escalating rather than end the war after 4 days and escalation could go nuclear. There is not enough thinking about this in Chinese strategy circles about the implicatinons. It is dangerous to fight alongside one side in a nuclear exchange due to the possibility of spillover. Figuring out a way to get Pakistan and India to not go to war again should be grabbing a lot more attention because Pakistan and India don’t seem to be leaning towards de-escalation.

    The degree to which Americans have a strong opinion about the war is very often represented as the degree to which they care about "gasoline prices at the pump". While no doubt gasoline prices are an important piece of daily financial life, I have trouble imagining that Americans have no real motivating moral concerns about the war.

    Replies: @Carroll Price, @Felpudinho, @JPS

    It’s been a fairly long time since the average American was easily manipulated by propaganda stoking moral indignation. There are basically two types of Americans who are numerous and assertive enough enough to “get riled up” and have it seriously matter in elections. The liberals, who are largely performative and whose sincerity is generally a matter of their believing they’re part of a group that is in control of this country, responsible, and that they are the “good people” in this country. The types who are stereotypically from New England, listen to NPR, were once called “bleeding-heart liberals” because the performance was once a lot more maudlin. Their most recent “performance” (when these people become truly noxious swine) was during the COVID hysteria and forced kike injection clampdown.

    Then there are the rednecks, who are less performative about insults to Murica, and see attacks as a slight on their honor. For them, something like 9/11 or the attack on Pearl Harbor, or even the explosion of the Maine, are life and death matters. It is the old ones with this mentality who remember the humiliation of the hostage crisis who regard the Iranians as subhumans who basically deserve destruction. These people are degraded humanity, senile, ignorant, old, and disengaged enough from the matters that are concerned with their well-being (beyond the price of gas) that they are capable of supporting the war.

    Trump’s four grandparents grew up overseas, his mother was born on the Isle of Lewis. It’s possible he has a genetic or epigenetic tendency to be hypercritical to insult, as the maintenance of reputation in Gaelic speaking Clan based societies was an extreme social requirement. This same combativeness is famous, at least historically, among the Appalachian descended population of the United States. So Trump, in his senile old fool’s mind, is not just obeying his kike masters who are his gods on this earth. He is getting revenge on America’s enemies for supposedly committing all sorts of dastardly deeds against Americans over decades.

    The evidence is evident in that the migrants are uprooted and egged on to migrate by certain organizations. They are funded and they are told to move. There are money spent on propaganda campaigns in the "shithole countries". Where does it come from? No Kalergi plan? No IOMM? No UN declarations for governments to implement?

    The evidence is there that there are obvious quota for countries to accept this many or that many migrants. Politicians whose chair is shaking, like Trudoe, would increase their quota to be good with the World government and to stay in power a bit longer!

    The evidence is that middle income countries, have to provide for the migrants a certain levele of income! This gets ridiculous, like in Russia, their Central Bank and the central and district Governments simultaneously are keeping low pay and high unemployment for the local workers, "to keep the economy competitive", but must provide a certain salary level for the migrans, which leads to an Afgani or Paki getting double pay as compared to a local worker for the same job.

  • Good article.

    Some counterpoints.

    (1) Liberal progresivism and capitalism did not converge into one by natural evolution of separate ideologies, as implied by the author.

    They were one from the very beginning.

    BUT.

    Western capitalism worked with native Western populations (‘Fordist’ for the author) because it was constrained by a rival ideology, communism, that showed great technological success, and had large support in the West.

    Once communism showed that it was a failure in what matters the most, and went ahead and collapsed, Western capitalism became less constrained and therefore it embraced multiculturalism to improve accumulation of capital at the top (i.e. stronger exploitation of Western working and middle classes).

    The timing of the collapse of the rival State ideology coincides with what the author calls the end of Fordist capitalism (the 80s).

    (2) Human populations are animal populations and therefore are subject to the laws of population dynamics.

    Western populations have reached their asymptotic size (called carrying capacity in scientific parlance) earlier than other human stocks and therefore we have entered a period where we can have either stasis or decline while other humans stocks grow.

    It would be great to have stasis (fertility of 2.1 offspring per female lifetime), but the collapse of the rival communist system leading to point (1) above have also caused our populations to suffer decline instead of stasis (females decided not to have children because of egalitarianism and also because unconstrained liberalism produces low quality males).

    But our businesses need workers and consumers in great quantities so our statemen and statewomen (e.g. our dear Angela) decided to import the surplus production of people from outside our Western world to compensate for our demographic decline. Angela would say she had no other choice, that WE didn’t give her any other choice.

    Apart from those two counterpoints, good article indeed.

    As for the sexual allegations, narcissists want people to believe they are irresistibly charming, even when they have little contact with the opposite sex. That doesn’t mean that he hasn’t done what is alleged, but there seems to be a dearth of evidence that he did. “Grab them by the pussy” was in reference to females wanting to be close to fame. Rock stars called them groupies. They exist. That Trump had the temerity to point that out, shouldn’t be held against him beyond being a demonstration of narcissism. Trump’s conviction was a joke. Jean Carrol claimed the assault (from a TV Script) occurred while she was wearing clothing that didn’t exist until the following year. Let’s not start about her lawyer doing the lobbying the State politicians to change the law to allow it to happen.
    There’s enough not to like about Trump without turning allegations into facts.
    Let’s look on the bright side. His “no more wars” will come true because he has disarmed the military by blowing through stockpiles for Israel and Ukraine. On top of that, he has bankrupted the US, meaning the weapons can’t be replaced.

    Their own consensus is that their ideal population size is between 700 million and 1 billion.
     
    Many outsiders already estimate that the current Chinklander population is already below 1 billion.

    So how long would it take to get down to 1 billion?
     
    Estimates say that it is already there.

    133 years?
     
    Slant Eyed Yellow Devil cannot add or subtract even with the Round Eye's Electronic Calculator.

    Assume a Chinklander life expectancy of 80 years. Very optimistic considering high cancer rates, pathetic medical treatments available, and chemically (poisonous) treated foods now widespread in Chinkland. Also assume the the birth rate is 8 million per year. Considering it is "officially" already below that, THIS RATE IS VERY OPTIMISTIC.

    8 million born for the next 80 years = there will be 640 million Chinklanders alive in 80 years as pretty much everyone alive today will have died. Going pretty much with a straight line decrease during those 80 years (1,400-640 million)/80 years gives a 9.5 million decrease per year.

    A 400 million decrease (from the "official 1,400 million) to 1,000 million at a rate of decrease of 9.5 million per years give 42 years before the "official" Chinlander population drops to around 1 billion.

    As mentioned above there are legit estimates that the Chinklander population is already below 1 billion, with some outliers going a low as 600-700 million!!

  • @Wayne Lusvardi
    By far this is the best article I have read by Ron Unz ever. It doesn't resort to a knee jerk "orange man bad" derangement but looks at the record. The only issue I have some doubts over is the hidden facets of the Iran War. According to independent world affairs analyst Joaquin Flores, the Iran War is not what the media reports it to be. First, Iran has suffered no mortalities of its soldiers as yet from the missile attacks (yes there has been civilian mortalities). Concomitantly, the US military has suffered only 7 mortalities (based on last week's data) in a freak overspill from Iranian missile attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia. There are many more US casualties but they are being treated in Germany.

    More importantly, Iran is selling crude oil using Tether bitcoin exclusively brokered by the financial firm of Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's son out of a brokerage house in El Salvador (offshored to avoid attention). Tether is backed by US Treasury Bills. This means that Iran is apparently cooperating with the US to manufacture a price bubble in oil by inhibiting oil supply. So, China is buying crude oil in Tether brokered by the Lutnick firm. Put differently, the US debt (and dollar) is being underwritten by the Iran War in an apparent cooperative scheme by the two so-called adversaries. The Petro dollar is being replaced by Tether.

    I am suspicious of unrecognized government price bubbles based on my experience in working behind the curtain of official disinformation during the California Energy Crisis of 2001. A price bubble in wholesale electricity prices was created by restricting supply. The premium from the price was to be used to pay off some $12 billion in stranded bond indebtedness on 19 coastal power plants that were converted to natural gas fuel from high polluting diesel fuel and then mothballed. But the Democrat Party enacted price controls on the retail price of electricity, destroying the bubble. Eventually, the $12 billion was rolled into a jumbo municipal bond issued by the California Department of Water to be paid off by a bubble created in wholesale water prices from buying electricity to pump water from Northern to Southern California. This water price bubble was created by a Court in a rigged court decision which declared an official drought in the Sacramento River system to protect a putative endangered fish.

    So, water rate payers mainly in Southern California paid off the $12 billion debt accrued by regulated private stock held electric companies (Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric and San Diego Gas and Electric which has gone bankrupt). This entire scheme was to protect the legislature from being thrown out of office in a Howard Jarvis like tax revolt. As I summed the energy crisis up in the title of an article I wrote: California Was Reducing Smoggy Skies Not Lacking Energy. The entire scheme was to meet Federal Clean Air Act mandates to clean up the smog traps by 2001 or lose federal funds for schools and roads. Hollywood produced predictive programming by issuing the film "The Perfect Storm" about how things like energy crises just happen accidentally.

    Niccolo Machiavelli said 500 years ago that it sometimes was better to commit fraud than lose lives in a war - it was the lesser evil (see his play The Mandrake Root). But lesser evils often had to be kept secret. But, is the (bogus) Iran War a lesser evil? There was a saying in California politics that the "tax payers wanted wetlands and bucolic open space (and fictional endangered fish) preserved but did not want to pay for it". The taxpayers believed it was the duty of socialized government to preserve the environment and pay for such luxury public goods without raising taxes. I throw this out there for commenters opinions because I don't presume to have all the answers.

    You may be familiar with the old adage "Bed is the poor man's opera." If African nations are able to successfully wrest political autonomy from the European and US business and intelligence corporations and develope stability and some measure or prosperity, you'll see way less migration from Africa- same with Syria and Egypt- places with masses or impoverished hordes. Egypt wasn't exporting population in the Dynastic age. Like China, being reduced to a colony made desperately poor peasants over breed. A couple who feel secure and fairly prosperous will about reproduce themselves and not have 5-14 children- as was common in the XIX century in both Europe and the US. Another thing that would save white peopele as a group or type would be to stop propating the ultimate standard of feminine beauty as golden haired pale skin chicks with big jugs. If not for being bombarded with endless advertising imagery of white chicks flashing the flesh, Africans and Arabs would be way less interested in seeking them as partners. But asking for restraint from a sex obsessed marketing industry is probably akin to asking for world peace too.

    He should have been given a nice suit and a firing squad. A despicable leader but he obviously lost and deserved a king's execution. A few hundred years ago it would have been considered tasteless and low brow to kill a political leader in such crude fashion.

    Hermann Göring was pissed off at Nuremberg about how the executions were to be by hanging and not by firing squad. But he out smarted the Americans and their kangaroo courts; Göring, with his 138 IQ took his own life on his own terms with a cyanide capsule he managed to keep hidden or that was smuggled, wittingly or not, to him.

    From Görings suicide note:

    “I would have had no objection to being shot. However, I will not facilitate execution of Germany’s Reichsmarschall by hanging! For the sake of Germany, I cannot permit this…Moreover, I feel no moral obligation to submit to my enemies’ punishment. For this reason, I have chosen to die like the great Hannibal.”

    Looks like Göring, a provenly brave and intelligent man, had the last laugh in taking his own life:

    But these Boston blue bloods and even the working class are deservedly referred to as Massholes outside of their beloved New England in the Great White North. Hell, even Boston isn’t as White as it used to be with Whites being the majority minority at 45%, Blacks and Beaners at 19% each, Asians at 11%. The remaining 6% is made up of multiracial groups. The reason Florida is the mudshark and wigger capital of America is largely due to the influx of those above the Mason-Dixon Line, a great deal come from Massachusetts. The Detroit Tigers won the World Series in 1968 which was the time period that Detroit had the riots of 1967-1968, Boston lost to the Reds in perhaps one of the best World Series ever in 1975. Coincidence? Haha.

    I’ve probably related how I had worked with civilians on the fire department at Governors Island a couple times. We were located about a 15 minute ferry ride from Manhattan, wonderful view of Lady Liberty and that is where they had a big soirée for Her 100th birthday in 1986. We had an all White civilian crew, a crew with 2 Whites, 2 spics, and a Black guy, 4 Coasties with one Black guy. I would work with both crews, we would swap days out and at 24 on 24 off, I could hop on a People’s Express back then and fly to Florida for a week and only use to 2 days leave sometimes. These crews despised each other equally, 3 Irishman all related on one crew, the other Irish guy not related pissed in the Puerto Ricans fireman boots. All the Whites lived on Long Island with the exception of the Italian captain who lived in New Jersey. The Italian captain and I were probably the 2 least racist guys in that department. I heard shit that would make the Grand Wizard of The KKK blush. The nigra and the spics were every bit as racist but were outnumbered.


    Just a guess but I bet Boston, even the city was pretty White in 1970-1975. The Red Sox were the last MLB team to have a Black on their team and those old great Boston Celtics teams were very White for the NBA. Boston is/was probably more racist than Birmingham, Alabama.

The author wrote that when Walt Disney was auditioning voices for roles in his cartoon movies he'd have the person audition behind an opaque screen; Walt didn't want the person's physical appearance influencing his decision as to the qualities he was looking for in their voice: he'd first hear them before seeing them.

I couldn't read, I didn't understand what Mickey Mouse's crying meant until my mother explained it to me.

    Quick correction, since you’ve restated my position rather than answered it—doing it twice now, first on Vietnam, now here. I didn’t concede being wrong about Google’s 2010 exit; rather, I said Google left after the Aurora hacking campaign and government censorship demands, and that Baidu led the market before then. Both still stand. The venture-funding and RankDex points aren’t a retreat—quite the opposite. They correct your claim that Baidu is a pure indigenous-innovation story. A NASDAQ-listed company built on its founder’s pre-Google algorithm that was funded by DFJ and IDG is a real achievement, but not the uniquely Chinese one you’re describing.

    On banks, you’ve moved the goal posts again. You’ve now said Chinese banks don’t want to compete globally. That was my point. If they don’t compete in open global finance, their asset-size ranking isn’t evidence of competitive superiority; instead, it’s merely evidence of state-directed lending volume. You’ve agreed with me and then strangely declared victory.

    On cruise ships, yes, China built the Adora Magic City, but with technical partnership from Fincantieri. That said, it’s a genuine achievement. However, shipbuilding was never the sector in dispute. I’ve said repeatedly that China is competitive-to-dominant in capital-intensive heavy manufacturing. The US-dominated sectors we’ve been arguing about are finance, leading-edge semiconductors, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, branded global platforms, et. al. A cruise ship doesn’t speak to any of them. You’ve given me a strong example of a point I already granted. And of course, the risk in that sector, like the others where China dominates, is poor efficiency and risk of overcapacity. Different vertical, same story.

    I’ll leave it there. The thread’s on the page; readers can judge it for themselves.

    I oppose affirmative action, soft on black crime policies, and large scale non-White immigration. I oppose government enforced integration, preferring freedom of association. The majority of liberals would probably call me a racist for my beliefs.

    Some of the commenters here might think I am anti-White because I do not want to go back to the days of government enforced segregation. I think if we eliminated affirmative action and government enforced integration people would largely end up surrounded by others like themselves. I have the middle class values of working and supporting myself rather than becoming a homeless drug or alcohol addict. I went to night school to get an accounting degree. I am still working at the age of 69. I want to be around other people who value hard work and education. That includes non-Whites who fall in that category.

    A 2022 Pew Study found 52% of American Blacks have a positive view of socialism while only 31% of American Whites have a positive view of socialism. My opposition to a socialist economic system is the same as most White Americans. White national socialist types support an economic system that the majority of White Americans do not support. White Americans are not the same as Germans of the nineteen thirties. We have a different history, culture and political tradition.

For example, I do not think advocating going back to government enforced segregation or talking about how life was better then is a good idea. The majority of Whites now do not view government enforced segregation that way. Also, I do not think the majority of Whites would now support rounding up all the Blacks and sending them back to Africa.

    In addition to this, any political party
    is a collection of special interest groups. The members of each group need to advocate for their own group but also need to tell the members of the other groups their issue is important too and they will support them on it. Saying your issue is the only important issue and telling others their issue is unimportant just unnecessarily antagonizes any potential coalition partners.

    Thomas Massie is currently in a tight House primary race. His internal polling shows he is ahead with under fifty voters but behind with over fifty voters. He is not an open borders libertarian, believing in immigration restriction.

Even though I do not live in his district, I have donated money to his campaign. His opponent is being funded by Zionist war-mongering billionaires.

    By far this is the best article I have read by Ron Unz ever. It doesn't resort to a knee jerk "orange man bad" derangement but looks at the record. The only issue I have some doubts over is the hidden facets of the Iran War. According to independent world affairs analyst Joaquin Flores, the Iran War is not what the media reports it to be. First, Iran has suffered no mortalities of its soldiers as yet from the missile attacks (yes there has been civilian mortalities). Concomitantly, the US military has suffered only 7 mortalities (based on last week's data) in a freak overspill from Iranian missile attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia. There are many more US casualties but they are being treated in Germany.

    More importantly, Iran is selling crude oil using Tether bitcoin exclusively brokered by the financial firm of Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's son out of a brokerage house in El Salvador (offshored to avoid attention). Tether is backed by US Treasury Bills. This means that Iran is apparently cooperating with the US to manufacture a price bubble in oil by inhibiting oil supply. So, China is buying crude oil in Tether brokered by the Lutnick firm. Put differently, the US debt (and dollar) is being underwritten by the Iran War in an apparent cooperative scheme by the two so-called adversaries. The Petro dollar is being replaced by Tether.

    I am suspicious of unrecognized government price bubbles based on my experience in working behind the curtain of official disinformation during the California Energy Crisis of 2001. A price bubble in wholesale electricity prices was created by restricting supply. The premium from the price was to be used to pay off some $12 billion in stranded bond indebtedness on 19 coastal power plants that were converted to natural gas fuel from high polluting diesel fuel and then mothballed. But the Democrat Party enacted price controls on the retail price of electricity, destroying the bubble. Eventually, the $12 billion was rolled into a jumbo municipal bond issued by the California Department of Water to be paid off by a bubble created in wholesale water prices from buying electricity to pump water from Northern to Southern California. This water price bubble was created by a Court in a rigged court decision which declared an official drought in the Sacramento River system to protect a putative endangered fish.

    So, water rate payers mainly in Southern California paid off the $12 billion debt accrued by regulated private stock held electric companies (Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric and San Diego Gas and Electric which has gone bankrupt). This entire scheme was to protect the legislature from being thrown out of office in a Howard Jarvis like tax revolt. As I summed the energy crisis up in the title of an article I wrote: California Was Reducing Smoggy Skies Not Lacking Energy. The entire scheme was to meet Federal Clean Air Act mandates to clean up the smog traps by 2001 or lose federal funds for schools and roads. Hollywood produced predictive programming by issuing the film "The Perfect Storm" about how things like energy crises just happen accidentally.

    Niccolo Machiavelli said 500 years ago that it sometimes was better to commit fraud than lose lives in a war - it was the lesser evil (see his play The Mandrake Root). But lesser evils often had to be kept secret. But, is the (bogus) Iran War a lesser evil? There was a saying in California politics that the "tax payers wanted wetlands and bucolic open space (and fictional endangered fish) preserved but did not want to pay for it". The taxpayers believed it was the duty of socialized government to preserve the environment and pay for such luxury public goods without raising taxes. I throw this out there for commenters opinions because I don't presume to have all the answers.

    Some people believe many of the big “public crises” are at least partially staged. What are the chances that oil shipments flowing through the strait are actually much greater than discussed in the public information, partially explaining the nonintuitive oil price behavior? This would require some extensive fakery and censorship, but those processes may now be at the highest level in history.

    Professor Jiang has a theory related to current geopolitics and stablecoins. He speculated that massive savings of Chinese civilians will be used to support the dollar, possibly with Tether.

    Ron Unz, today, on Trump Family corruption:

    [T]he behavior of Trump and his administration seems orders of magnitude worse [than previous presidential corruption], with his pardoning power regularly being deployed in blatant quid pro quo fashion for wealthy convicted criminals who subsequently rewarded the businesses of Trump family members with “investments” totaling millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

    I had regularly read many of these stories in my newspapers, but they were so numerous that they were easily forgotten. Fortunately, at the beginning of this month someone helpfully published a lengthy article gathering most of them together in one place, documenting the absolutely extraordinary corruption of the Trump Administration. Based upon his tone, the author seemed to be a former Trump supporter or at least assumed that most of his readers fell into that category, and that made his account even more convincing.

    Seems. It seems that way because Unz has written 20 articles about Trump, and exactly zero about Joe Biden (searching for articles written by Unz with Biden in the title), exactly zero about the Obama presidency (one article is about the 2008 campaign and another about the notion that Michelle Obama might be a man.)

    As an aside, Unz has one article referring to the Clintons, written back in 1997. He has 2 articles referring to W, the latest one in 2002.

    It seems to me that Unz is pretty selective in how deep he digs in terms of uprooting presidential corruption.

    This is not a defense of Trump by any means. He has proven himself to be little more than a ventriloquist’s puppet; distracting the audience with outrageous antics so the puppeteer can work his trade.

    in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn’t it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?
     
    Needless to say, and thanks for framing as a question at the end, that correlation isn't causation. There's no doubt overlap, perhaps significant and alarmingly large overlap, but not enough to prove causation or to attribute it to non-whiteness (whatever that means for people). It's probably because mass immigrants tend to be less educated and less able to flourish (for whatever reason) in their countries of origin.

    The more relevant question is about immigration policy, specifically when native populations have prospered to a point where low-wage jobs hold little or no appeal to the vast majority of their population. Who will do these jobs, and if not by importing low-wage immigrant labor, how will those jobs get done? Mr Duchesne notes in his article the massive shift to IT and AI economies in the West leaves us caught in a trap - I would call it an internal version of the Thucydides Trap. It's a large and widening gap as life in the West moves more and more online. Who will do the grunt labor or 'gig' work for minimum wage and next to no benefits?

    It is a vicious spiral moving inwards and picking up speed. For an example go to substack and have a look at those article writers who, loosely speaking, are on “our” side. More and more of these writers demand you pay at least $8/mo. for the privilege of reading their thoughts. They will let you have their not too bad, pretty good or so-so articles for free, but later they (or most of them) try to rein you in with the beginnings of something much more juicy – and then demand you sign up for a fee. Like watching the first half of a fascinating film on Turner Classic Movies, then being told you have to pay to see the second half.

    So, WHO exactly is paying these writers? Other writers doing the same schtick? Or the few persons left doing necessary productive labor (grunt style or better)? Retired persons on pensions?

    This style of economy seems to be growing, as you say, but surely at some point it has to cave in. Or back to 90 per cent of the population doing necessary, productive work, but there will likely not be any good wages or benefits. Those days are over. Most of the 20th century USA was some sort of aberration with its vast prosperity, comfort and freedom but in spite of the rantings of the MAGA lot will not be seen again. Or at least I highly doubt that it will somehow magically re-emerge.

    This is an interesting thought. The aberration is the petrodollar economy. The petrodollar system has fostered a perception of inherent American economic prosperity by enabling persistent trade deficits without the currency devaluation typically required to correct them, allowing the USA to maintain high consumption levels while offloading manufacturing abroad. This has allowed the USA to finance government spending and military expansion by recycling oil revenues into USA Treasuries, which has kept interest rates artificially low and masked the long-term erosion of the domestic industrial base. Consequently, the economy appears robust due to asset price inflation and financialization rather than productive growth, creating a false prosperity that relies on global demand for dollars rather than domestic economic fundamentals.

    True prosperity would require a shift from financial speculation to domestic investment in physical and human capital, including skilled and unskilled immigrant labor. Underpinning it all, there needs to be a new monetary and financial architecture, investment in real assets and productive capacity, and a shift towards a multipolar, cooperative global system. None of this is possible while the petrodollar exists.

    To put it simply, the US will not genuinely prosper while the Yahoo pours oily poison into the King's ear. End that and there's hope.

  • Donald Trump is an edge case, and if one considers merely his self -dealing, it’s clear that his goal is simply to outrun the law or die before it catches up with him. But if one considers the Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations, each with more than their fair share of bizarre policies uninformed by reason, prudence, and wisdom, it starts to look like the problem is not so much our particular leaders but the form of government that we have, which assumes that wise and prudent political science can emerge from popular contests for political office. That itself is only one example of a problem widespread in our society, which is the use of public consensus as a rule for institutional decision-making. The FBI does not hold elections, but it draws upon the collective “wisdom” of a society clearly lacking in wisdom to inform its actions. What happens when the blind lead the blind?

    Your lot never gives up with the anti-Kennedy rhetoric, like dogs that always bark at the postman.

    There may have been as many as 800 – 1,000 Special Forces in Vietnam under JFK, along with a handful of pilots who may have flown “combat” missions, but the bulk of U.S personnel in Vietnam at the time weren’t really “troops” per se, but rather instructors, maintenance, supply and support personnel to get the VNAF airborne and keep it flying, and whip the ARVN into shape.

    The three armed services together numbered around 137,000 in 1960. In face of the communist threat, the army was expanded to 192,000 with four corps, nine divisions, one airborne brigade, one SF group, three separate regiments, one territorial regiment, 86 ranger companies, and 19 separate battalions, as well as support units in 1963,

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Republic_of_Vietnam

    The first U.S. combat troops did not arrive in Vietnam until March 8, 1965 when 3,500 Marines of the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade landed at Da Nang’s Red Beach 2 to guard the sprawling Da Nan airbase, but Marines or not, the United States never was able to completely stop the random rocket and mortar attacks on U.S. airbases

    And the critical point you overlooked is Pres. Kennedy had ordered the bulk of those 16,000-some G.I.s to pull out of Vietnam by the end of 1965, because he knew it was a losing effort, in the final analysis, and not really our war anyway.

    Beyond that, JFK’s planned to use “Peace and Prosperity” as his 1964 campaign theme, and I believe he would have used the 1,000 personnel he’d ordered to pull out by the end of 1963 as a demonstration if not celebration of his resolve.

    But of course, Pres. Kennedy was assassinated before he could bring his plans for peace and prosperity to fruition, and instead of about 200 U.S. deaths in Vietnam if the U.S. had pulled out in accord with Pres. Kennedy’s plans, we suffered 58,200 deaths, a lot of broken hearts, and a still-broken nation.

    We can blame the American tragedy in Vietnam mostly on Ike — Dwight David Eisenhower — who failed to adhere to the Geneva Accords and support country-wide elections after the French surrender at Dien Bien Phu, but instead Ike began supporting, supplying. legitimizing and propping up the largely Catholic puppet regime in the south that coalesced around Diem.

    Going back even earlier in the whole fiasco, Harry S. Truman had spurned Ho Chi Minh’s appeals for help after WWII, and instead financed and supplied the French in their doomed effort to regain their colonial empire in SE Asia against the Viet Minh.

    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    Over 30 years ago, I heard an interview with a handwriting expert. She noted that teachers, in many provinces and states, had stopped being taught how to teach cursive writing. She claimed that writing in cursive made people think differently than printing. Computers in schools have now massively reduced kids even printing.
    I know from my own experience that, 45 years ago, when I hand wrote draft documents then handed them to a typist, my thought processes and choice of words were different than when I moved to a dictation recording, and finally to hunt and peck my own drafts. As bad as my left-handed-learned-to-write-with-a-nib-pen-and-inkwell script is, it’s better than my kids and grandkids. As for the handwriting experts, I suspect their days are numbered.

    The degree to which Americans have a strong opinion about the war is very often represented as the degree to which they care about "gasoline prices at the pump". While no doubt gasoline prices are an important piece of daily financial life, I have trouble imagining that Americans have no real motivating moral concerns about the war. It seems very patronising just to predict public opinion will shift this way or that way as a result of gasoline prices. Is this really true, or is there somehow suppressed public rage at the moral dimension of these latest (((american))) adventures?

    In the kind of society we have, the social order and the cognitive order are roughly the same thing quite a lot of the time. In this kind of society, someone who occupies a low position because of lack of cognitive ability cannot rationalize their situation by attributing their low station to a personal fault which they did not transcend because they did not have the will to make the effort. All they can do is hate. Quietly submit to to their fate or hate.

If Iran is determined to retrieve the enriched uranium they would not wait ten years even if a nuke is dropped on it. We also don't know the actual location of the uranium in order to target it.

    A lot of Chicken Little clucking. The oil companies are swimming in unprecedented profits. There is plenty of oil. This is a massive hoax to justify price gouging. The largest organized price gouge since the 1970's.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees. China is having no problems at all, and they are now even relaxing their export controls. Like America they have far more oil than they can use, so like America they are exporting it at huge markups.

    When Hormuz closed almost 20% of Ocean Going oil was paused. Perhaps 12 or 13% of all, since far from all goes by ship. At this point, it has become clear that no one needs Hormuz oil , except Aramco and a few other companies, and of course the Jihadi Gulf States, who are losing market share. The world has no need of Jihadi oil.

    Here at Unz, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pandemic and so is Chicken Little Syndrome. So due to oil industry price gouging and an insane Jewish Berserker as President we will have a deep recession and an absolute disaster for the Repugnikans in November. That doesn't mean the Sky Is Falling, and certainly doesn't mean the war is "lost".

    Where do you people come up with that " war is lost" narrative? Youtube videos churned out by various CIA assets? I believe that is it. The war hasn't even really begun yet. Zog just is having difficulties raising the proxy armies needed for a ground invasion. Ankara is the problem. Zog may have to wait till Erdogan's party is voted out. But the CIA will eventually roust up the proxies and the ground war will be on.

    You are correct on all counts. Somewhere along the line, the comments here, as well as many of the authors, became so anti-Jewish that they lost their ability to judge situations clearly. If they think something benefits Israel, it’s automatically bad. If something benefits China, it’s automatically good. Iran no longer has a viable air force or navy and its military is forced to hide deep inside bunkers. How is that a win? American oil is selling at a premium and China has lost a significant source of energy, how is that a loss?

    Larry Johnson, Napolitano, Meershimer and Wilkerson have been wrong on every prediction for about three years, yet these guys quote them like they’re prophets.

    Here are three reasons why the US should NOT withdraw from the Gulf, regardless of inflation worries or gas prices.

    1. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to keep the enriched uranium they hold. If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

    I strongly suspect that the only reason they aren’t squawking louder about this issue and the patches being worn by those war criminals is because they are quietly working behind the scenes with both Russia and China at this point. I would be very curious to know what Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the other golf puppets ambassadors are doing right now in Moscow, Islamabad, and Beijing.

    It's hard to take "former weapons inspector Scott Ritter" seriously, and it has a lot more to do than with the idiot getting busted twice for jerking off to what Scott thought were underage online teens in a Federal sting. It's Scott being constantly wrong about the swiftness of Russia defeating Ukraine during the first year of Putin's Special Military Operation; Scott was always going on and on about how the upcoming and final giant "cauldron," to trap and annihilate half the Ukrainian army, was always just a few days or a week away.

    Scott finally shut up with his lame "cauldron" predictions after being consistently wrong; Scott, the jerk off king, finally, for once, felt some shame.

    Once October 7th 2023, kicked off, Scott switched to making equally bad predictions that Israel was going to get slaughtered when they first went into Gaza and then Lebanon. Scott judgment is terrible, he gets almost everything wrong and what he gets right is what most commenters here at The Unz Review already know: Russia will eventually beat Ukraine, Iran will defeat the USA/Israel, China will eventually take back Taiwan, NATO is finished, and America/Europe, as we know it, is going down.

    Your observations and opinions of Scott Ritter contain truth. But aside from these flaws of his character and some limitations, he has provided some reliable and valid technical and strategic information.

    On the point of his timeline for resolution and major strategic shifts being off and missed, I notice that with every expert such as MacGregor, Wilkerson, Johnson, and others. This pattern has been repeated to factors that I believe are wholly related to the relative speed, power, and deployment of Russian assets.

    It bears repeating that Putin’s pace of the war is driven by the primacy of the rate and amount of Russian casualties. Looking at his background, gestalt of personality, upbringing, his Christian beliefs, and his long range thinking and planning, the prediction of the war was driven with Russian casualties in mind. Some battle areas were at times low intensity and slow to be conquered, especially where Ukie troops were dug in and occupying large and multiple buildings in towns and cities. Putin’s war planning attempts to minimize the structural and physical damage in order that rebuilding after victory is reduced to the minimum.

    There different sources put the Russian dead in the 135,000 to 175,000 range, with total killed and wounded at 315,000.

    While these figures are hard to come by, with some comfort and ease of validity, the Ukrainian dead are approximated at 1.8 million. That was 9 months ago. Add another 200,000 to that. 2 million JewCrazyans dead. Stupid Goyim Cattle. Multiply that by 2X at least to include soldiers that cannot take up future duty. Civilian dead are estimated at ~40,000, which buttresses up the claim that Russia tries to not target civilians.

    Most respected observers put the kill ration of Ukrainian to Russian at ~15 to 1. Today, I am hearing the kill ration is more like 30 to 1. Ukraine troops are untrained, under-equipped, under-motivated, under supplied, etc.

    It seems as if the Russian effort on all fronts is going and shifting to higher intensity now, to accelerate collapse of Kiev Regime.

    You cannot take western liberalism and plant that into the minds/bodies of people who are not westerners. It simply is not transferrable. The tribal instincts completely obliterate efforts at pretty notions like diversity and tolerance.

All these non-westerners taking over white nations hate each other; they will be warring with each other as soon as the whites lose complete control. These conditions are readily apparent (and were readily apparent in western areas and their black populations), and are demonstrated by the spreading violence in the areas taken over by non-whites (including violence amongst different sects or whatever you want to call them).

    The longer this situation in the Strait of Hormuz goes on, the more it looks like a US-led globalist New World Order (NWO) project.

    Many countries aligned with the US could send their militaries to help launch an all out war on Iran and reopen the strait in short order. Making a unified threat to do this would probably lead to capitulation from Tehran.

    At this point a world-wide financial collapse looks bad for almost everyone, so why wouldn’t these countries pick up the sword against Iran? China and Russia have both shown they will not strongly protect Tehran, so there is little risk of major escalation. The US may have directed its allies to not get more involved in the conflict.

    The immediate downside for the West from this supporting deployment would be reduced NATO combat activity in Ukraine on the anti-Russia project.

    In this NWO scenario, the West is working a unified project to collapse the world economy. People have been predicting the globalists would do a reset for decades, why is it so difficult to believe they are now doing what they have advertised in clear terms? China has apparently decided to support the project. NATO and Western-aligned militaries are staying close to home to suppress civil dissent as the plan becomes a fait accompli for the masses.

    Russia is an interesting case in this framework. Putin with his globalist streak probably supports this reset project. However, Russian nationalist elements may recognize that Russia could benefit by staying outside the reset, while allowing the process to sow chaos in the West and China the way the collapse of the USSR created chaos in the former Soviet countries after 1990. The net result might favor Russia, assuming anyone survives.

    Many people seem to assume that the policies of Team Trump are set by a group of incompetent cabinet members led by Trump himself, probably mixed in with some directives from Netanyahu. This seems wildly improbable. From an alternative view, Trump is largely an actor and front man. He is enthusiastic about the policies he is promoting, but they are largely given to him by his bosses, whoever they are. His cabinet and advisors are a mixture of sidemen actors including Hegseth. Less visible people interface with the rest of the government on the actual policy details, Feinberg in the case of defense issues. In this view, Feinberg is delivering the policy (probably not creating it) while Hegseth is simply promoting it.

    From this perspective, most of the war activity against Iran is intentional including all of the "failings" of the campaign which are widely discussed. Market signals have apparently been rigged so that prices have not risen enough to reduce petroleum demand very much. This seems engineered to create a gigantic price shock. Once the last of the stored oil is gone the price will jump. Qui bono? Oil producers will like this windfall, but what will the huge price increase accomplish in terms of Team Trump policy goals? Will the economic shock allow some sort of process which allows the administration to formally declare war on Iran? Will it trigger the roll out of the US CBDC?

    The video of Trump may play better with some audiences than others. In the clip he appears to be making a principled stand that preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons is more important than any transient economic inconvenience. This is very much a war cry in my opinion and not a casual mistake.

  • I’m tired of the comparisons of Trump to Caligula. It’s not accurate.

    If Caligula was mad, there was a method to the madness. Caligula hated the Roman senate and the Roman elites. He hated them because of what they have done to his beloved mother, Agrippina the Elder: they have ordered her imprisoneded, have her beaten up so badly that she lost an eye, and eventually had her starved to death.

    If the elite political class of your country had your mother starved to death, wouldn’t you be mad at them? In this perspective, doesn’t such thing as making a horse a senator make sense? It’s a premeditated mockery of the people you hate, not irregular madness. I recommend reading Ronald Auguet’s biography of Caligula – he wasn’t mad, he was a populist beloved by the common people and hated by the elites (and the elite propagandist Suetonius wrote down Caligula’s biography as it is widely known).

    Now, if you want an accurate ancient analogy of Trump, try looking at the Ptolemies in Egypt. Many of them obese, insanely rich, partaking in incest (wasn’t Ivanka a “hot piece of ass” back in the day?), and displaying luxury in the most obnoxious way (Trump loves having gold plated everything, like a “hood ass nigga”).

    The interesting fact about the Ptolemies is that they were definitely not mad. All of the brother-sister marriages were calculated political acts. There’s an excellent paper about this titled “The Power of Excess: Royal Incest and the Ptolemaic Dynasty” by anthropologist Sheila Ager.

    What Ager argues – convincingly – is that both the sexual extravaganzas (in case of Trump: Ivanka, underage beauty peagants, and everything Epstein-related) as well as the opulent displays of luxury were premeditated tools of power: use any mean possible to showcase that you are not like ordinary people, elevate yourself above your subjects, signal that you are a godlike ruler because you don’t have to obey the rules that the common people must obey.

    This strategy worked for the Ptolemies. So far, it is also working for the Trumps.

    Annual deficits are basically on cruise control and beyond the control of any President. That is because most of the budget is attributable to non-discretional social security and health care spending which generally cannot be changed through the annual budget process.

    But Trump did increase the budget with military spending and tax cuts to the wealthy through the BBB, correct?

    He also added debt through his attempt at raising tariffs without Congressional approval. You don't deny that either, right?

    Trump's Iran war will further add red to the budget.

    If Trump really wanted to reduce the debt then he could have forgone the tax cuts for the wealthy and closed our overseas bases.

    Republicans will obviously sign anything that he proposes and he proposed an increase in the cap. The very same cap that the Republicans told us should not be raised when Biden was president. But when Trump wants an increase they get their kneepads ready.

    Stop making excuses for him.

    He doesn't give a shit about the debt. He publicly stated that he doesn't care about the financial situation of Americans. Why would he care about the debt?

    Trump ran up the debt and put us in a needless war that could actually crash not just the economy but the dollar.

    He is one of the worst presidents of all time and Christian Republicans have cemented their inability to pick decent leaders. They picked a felon who couldn't recite a single Bible verse. Polls show that Christian conservative White men are still his top supporters. Their support has in fact barely changed since the war started. Only the increase in gas prices dropped it a bit.

    Hermann Göring was pissed off at Nuremberg about how the executions were to be by hanging and not by firing squad. But he out smarted the Americans and their kangaroo courts; Göring, with his 138 IQ took his own life on his own terms with a cyanide capsule he managed to keep hidden or that was smuggled, wittingly or not, to him.

    From Görings suicide note:

    “I would have had no objection to being shot. However, I will not facilitate execution of Germany’s Reichsmarschall by hanging! For the sake of Germany, I cannot permit this...Moreover, I feel no moral obligation to submit to my enemies’ punishment. For this reason, I have chosen to die like the great Hannibal.”

    Looks like Göring, a provenly brave and intelligent man, had the last laugh in taking his own life:

    This is in fact a rather nasty gaslighting propaganda article by 'Puerto Rican born' (crypto Jewish?) Ricardo Duchesne

    He is claiming that there is no 'racial attack' by Jews and other elites against whites ... it is the 'inner logic' of liberalism and capitalism at work, he says. That is bullshite. The 'inner logic' of things do not progress unless elites approve of the particular trend. There is lots of 'inner logic' systematically suppressed. Duchesne is pretending that the cover story of 'liberal ideas' and 'markets', is the actual basis of what is going on, with a few jargonist terms ('Fordism', 'limbic' etc) as additional smokescreen.

    The elites - like people generally - think in private in very racialist terms, and the sponsored hatred of whites comes from this. For all their flaws, european-heritage whites are the most dangerous global rebels, the combination of high intelligence with unique, highest-level strong impulses to non-conformity. They are the most creative and productive, so the elites don't wish to totally wipe them out, but elites want them decimated and brought to heel. This includes white elites who segregate themselves semi-racially from white commoners, thru elite social links (Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, 33 degree Freemasons, all that).

    Duchesne's eagerness to cover for Jews was noted more than a decade ago:

    In a world where the white European race is ten percent at the most of the world population, how can multiculturalism be anything but a phantasm?

    Why am I am thinking right now of that silly little trope, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips."

    In the arc of world history, what can multiculturalism be for the West but a day's indulgence? Then there is the rest of the world. What black or brown country has anything about it that would attract mass numbers of migrants from another race and culture half a world away? If you want that kind of socioeconomic misery, you might as well stay home and enjoy it among people who are at least of your own language, culture and blood.

    Then there is the simple fact that the white European race is not reproducing at a rate sufficient to populate its own historic lands, let alone export diversity to the non-European world. Even if the white European race could establish a minority of, say, ten percent in some black or brown country, what would it mean in the long run? Suppose you made, say, Nigeria ten percent white somehow? Well, come back in a thousand years and Nigeria would be as black as it is today.

    Diversity means different things in the West and in the non-Western world. In the non-Western world, it means there are Westerners present for purposes of business, activism, cultural exchange and religious proselytization. In the West, it means colonies of fecund non-Westerners who furthermore often receive preference in higher education and in hiring in many businesses, granted by the elites of the West at the expense of the legacy population.

    It's a pretty dim prognosis, but if you are one of the nons, what's it to you if you are putting the system which has given you longer lives, the hope of escape from hereditary tyranny, and the opportunity for modern education at risk. Even if it's back to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule, at least you will be free of the rule of the hated "machine" that has made you feel so inadequate. Even if a world without whitey means a return to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule for the human race, at least it represents the world of the known in the eyes of most of the human race.

    What I mean is that some form of feudalism represents the world of the known for most of the human race. It is what is comprehensible to them. Beyond that, even if they are part of the lower orders of that kind of society, part of tenant, peasant, serf and laborer class, they can rationalize their position by the logic that they or their forebearers were not courageous enough to undertake military training, accept the risk inherent in being a warrior and fight their way to a higher position in society.

    In the kind of society we have, the social order and the cognitive order are roughly the same thing quite a lot of the time. In this kind of society, someone who occupies a low position because of lack of cognitive ability cannot rationalize their situation by attributing their low station to a personal fault which they did not transcend because they did not have the will to make the effort. All they can do is hate. Quietly submit to to their fate or hate.

    Does a feudal order mean equal in misery? I would say so.

I would work with both crews, we would swap days out and at 24 on 24 off, I could hop on a People’s Express back then and fly to Florida for a week and only use to 2 days leave sometimes. These crews despised each other equally, 3 Irishman all related on one crew, the other Irish guy not related pissed in the Puerto Ricans fireman boots. All the Whites lived on Long Island with the exception of the Italian captain who lived in New Jersey. The Italian captain and I were probably the 2 least racist guys in that department. I heard shit that would make the Grand Wizard of The KKK blush. The nigra and the spics were every bit as racist but were outnumbered.

    Just a guess but I bet Boston, even the city was pretty White in 1970-1975. The Red Sox were the last MLB team to have a Black on their team and those old great Boston Celtics teams were very White for the NBA. Boston is/was probably more racist than Birmingham, Alabama.

    It was indeed. Of course, the whole of Cambridge, which was, then as now, dominated by its half-dozen or so elite universities, held an attitude toward blacks and other minorities that is best describable as worshipful. Nonetheless, the worship of blacks did not extend to desiring any growth in the size of their local presence.

    If what is meant by "racist" is "not delusional" or, even better, "desirous of keeping a community safe and civilized," I agree with your assessment.

    Pakistan fills the void left by the UAE for Iran, Pakistan is seeking to definitively break the UAE's monopoly on the transit of Iranian goods by reducing customs duties at China's Gwadar Port and receiving the first Iranian ship whose route has been altered.

    This decision comes at a time when Iran's traditional import and export routes through the UAE are facing some disruptions. In addition to offering discounts ranging from 31% to 40% on port fees, Pakistan has also granted ships a one-month free storage period. Bakchods weep knowing that if this trend continues, Iran's historical dependence on the UAE's Jebel Ali Port—which used to handle the largest share of Iranian transit—will end forever you Gandu.

    Hello BrooLidd


    Thanks for your reply. We communicated in the past re Richard Wagner (1813-1883), when my moniker was Biggles. We share many similar opinions.


    There’s an Australian legal academic, Professor David Flint AM (born 1938), of mixed ancestry, who fights for “British-style” causes far more effectively than most ostensibly true blues like myself.

    Biggles! So that’s you! You’re Epictetus now!

    I like both ‘handles.’ Of the latter I read (on Wiki) that

    He taught that philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; he argues that we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately.

    My sentiments exactly (though I feel a certain affinity for Epicurus, too!).

    Biggles! What an epic Grokipedia article that is!

    I’m a lifelong addict of of 20th century English fiction. My ‘handle’ is literary, too. It’s an amalgam of fragments of the surnames of two of my favorite British novelists.

    Thanks for the David Flint links. His background somewhat resembles that of Mr. Duchesne, doesn’t it. On Grokipedia I read that his mother

    enjoyed music and dancing, and Flint took her out dancing every week until she died aged 90.

    That tells me Mr. Flint feels a certain affinity for Epicurus, too!

    According to Grokipedia Flint was born in 1938. That means he’s four years older than me and (soon) eight older that you. At our ages we’ve long been reading in our doctors’ eyes, “Sayonara, oldster.” We’ll see about that, won’t we!

    Wagner.

    Three years ago I wrote a piano piece I entitled Windjammer!. Over the stormy first part I superscribed Rounding the horn. Over the jubilant third part I superscribed Homeward bound!

    Over the funereal middle part (which I wrote ‘on auto-pilot’) I superscribed Sargasso Sea. Later I realized that the last three bars were a recurrent motiv from the Ring cycle!

    Now I’ve done it again. What has appeared on the manuscript of the piece I’m writing now but the ‘Tristan chord’!

    A lot of East Coast Jewish pundits were convinced that the GOP was committing suicide by not opening the borders to Mexicans because they assumed Mexicans were as ethnocentric and obsessed with immigration policy as Jews tend to be. But in LA, Mexican apathy is clear.

    A topic that occasionally comes up:

    What is Steve Sailer‘s true position on institutional pro-Black racial favoritism quotas (long called by the ridiculously anodyne euphemism “affirmative action” in the U.S.)?

    See, previously:
    https://www.unz.com/isteve/isteve-open-thread-23/#comment-7602448

    This past week Steve offered up this semi-ironic barb and commentary:

    Steve Sailer
    May 14, 2026

    I am concerned that at the ultra-elite institution level, without affirmative action, black representation would plummet to levels so low that even I would find them disconcerting.

    E.g., Ruth Bader Ginsburg hired one black (Paul Watford) out of her 159 law clerks. Is 0.6% enuf?

    ________

    The Supreme Court isn’t supposed to be a representative institution, but still …

    I think because of the taboo on talking about racial differences in average IQ, few people grasp how much black representation would fall in right edge of the bell curve jobs without quotas.

    Supreme Court clerks would seem like a good example of a very high IQ job that for career reasons only matters to 0.5% of the population, but because of clerks’ influence on their bosses could matter to everybody legally.

That is because most of the budget is attributable to non-discretional social security and health care spending which generally cannot be changed through the annual budget process.

    Saddam never said that. Compared to Trump, Saddam was a courageous and honest man. Saddam turned Iraq from a poor nation into the most advanced nation in the region before it was deliberately and criminally destroyed by the Jews and their savage dogs. He was a victim of a large Satanic Jewish conspiracy, just like al-Qadhafi and al-Assad. Saddam should not be blamed for the Iraq-Iran war. The war was orchestrated by the US, Israel, and the Arab family dictators. The war lasted eight years because no one wanted it to stop. It was fueled by the dictators, the US-led West, and the Jews. The Jew, Henry Kissinger, openly said, "Let them kill each other." Later, when Saddam tried to teach the Kuwaiti and Saudi dictators a lesson, Iran supported the U.S.-led “Coalition of the Willing” armies' criminal attacks on Iraq and later used genocidal sanctions to bust its ailing economy. In the 2003 aggression and invasion of Iraq, Iran was one of the major US allies invading Iraq from the West, the U.S.-UK from the South and Southeast, the Jews (Mossad), the Poles, Australians, and other invaders were from Jordan. More than 20 countries were involved in the illegal aggression and invasion, with over 500,000 troops. This was after decades of genocidal sanctions that killed more than 1.5 million Iraqis, including 600,000 children under the age of 5, daily aerial bombardments by the U.S. UK, the Jews "Israel," and UN-supervised disarmament that rendered Iraq completely defenseless against the biggest invasion of modern times. It is misleading to compare Iraq with Iran. The overwhelming majority of the current and past Iranian leaders, including Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, have lived and studied in Iraq. Today, Iraq is the only country in the region that is standing with Iran, despite being occupied by the Zionist-Fascistic axis of Jews and Americans. It is sad to watch Professor Mohammad Marandi's obsession with Saddam in his often propagandistic outburst against Iraq.

The state owned People’s Bank of China put a quick stop to it. Essentially telling the ‘private’ sector– you people can make as much money as you want, but you must stay out of the government’s business.

    However the US is doubly affected, because not only are its oligarchs influencing government for their own benefit, its Jewish plutocrats lobby on behalf of a foreign country–Israel. Using what amounts to bribery (under its ‘soft’ name of campaign contributions) and other in-kind payments. This treasonous behavior would never be allowed by the Chinese Communists.

    There was never a full deal as you implied. Ukraine described Putin’s demands to reduce their military size as unrealistic. You can’t say a deal was offered when talks never got to that point. Putin made demands and Ukraine rejected them as being potential perfidy. The ISW agreed that it could have been a trap move by Putin and was not realistic.

    ...There was never a full deal as you implied.
     
    I am not sure what the term "full" means in the context. But right, Mr.Einstein, the deal happens when people sign it. You can't really swim until you are in the water.

    Ukraine rejected them as being potential perfidy.
     
    Correct again - as I said before Ukraine rejected the deal. Now you at least agree. It's not about what was in the deal, it's the reality that we all agree on that Kiev rejected it. The question is are they going to get anything better, it looks close to 100% that they won't.

    Ukraine would have had to forgo NATO membership, reduce the size of its armed forces to 85,000 personnel, and significantly decrease its arsenal of equipment and weaponry
     
    I thought you were forever arguing that Ukraine-in-NATO was a chimera, a made-up casus belli by Russia. Do you now admit it was real?

    If Kiev didn't like 85k they could have signed it and then hired 200k contractors or regional 'policemen', or whatever fu..k they wanted to call them. This is an absolutely ridiculous argument in 2026 - we don't count official boots on the ground.


    what would stop Putin from continuing to invade after Ukraine drastically reduced the size of its military and also stayed out of NATO.
     
    Nothing. Not signing certainly didn't do it. You seem to have a problem with the realities on the ground. If something is inevitable or a goal is too far-fetched (Kiev in NATO), rational responsible people don't die fighting for it. But the Ukies did and still do.

    Treaties are mostly useless paper other than to temporarily stop something worse like a bloody war. In Russia's defense they have much better record in the last few decades not breaking their word than US or EU. Does anyone trust what Fat Don signs?

    - Good article.

    Found especially the linked to "famous misquotations"-compilation website interesting, from fictional Ron Burgundy to infamous ("neo-Nazi") Kevin Strom, all there, though many more could be added I suppose...

    The apparent very widespread human tendency towards partial/total inaccuracy in recollection (especially collectively) is probably worth pondering if one has/had the time and a stark reminder why eye-witness testimony in historical(/courtroom) settings is always the least reliable evidence of all and argumentum ad populum can be a highly flawed basis for determining truth.

    Regarding main topic of today`s political/economic situation and D. Drumpf (his family`s actual original name in Bavaria-Palatinate?), I am just utterly astonished how the entire western population here is sleepwalking into catastrophe, that large masses move slowly is somewhat understandable and one thing, but what is going on as we speak a total different caliber in my experience.

    The one key to the entire world-wide chaos obviously is the US-leadership, in both its meaning domestically and internationally, and the background of a generally highly corrupt international political system it reigns over/falls into.

    The latter obviously is impossible to change quickly because so long term entrenched, regarding the former main one, I don`t know, not being American and only having the armchair-smartass perspective..

    From that it looks like the real problem at its core isn`t actually Trumpf&Co`s government, but firstly domestically the appalling total practical failure of the constitutional/political safe-guard system (Congress/Senate) against the former`s overreach and lawlessness (also here due to long entrenched corruption by special interests it appears) and secondly the way the US election system works.

    The fact that firstly a (obviously from the outset and his biographical record highly morally flawed/compromised, selfish and less-than-responsible) person like him could ever become president and in fact appallingly the (politically/militarily) most powerful person in the world is an enormous indictment of the US electoral system (specifically its campaign-finance structure).

    According to Chatgbt there are only 4 countries in the world that have managed/allowed to elect showmen/actors instead of actual politicians to the highest seat of power:

    The Philippines, Guatemala, Ukraine and.....
    And apparently no other country has ever achieved the US feat of actually doing it twice (and also being THE most powerful one on the planet).

    The second fact/indictment then being the mentioned how the US congress has totally failed in dong its job to safeguard exactly against the totally irresponsible behavior and excesses of an elected leader obviously and beyond all doubt for months now entirely mentally and morally unfit for service in this position.

    As third and forth probably could be named the almost equally irresponsible behavior of the 15 second attention span sensational-hysterical US/international media and total failure of international "community" and its diplomatic institutions like the UN and then the question of the greater (US-) public simply watching it all happen and slow-motion drive towards the cliff, without any adequate rebellion whatsoever...?

    Sorry too long rant, just wondering aloud .....
    and speaking of Marie Antoinette, will we ever see a revolution in our days and IF (as unlikely as it seems) will Trump be historically regarded/remembered as the tragic-comical Clown character-"Ice-breaker", who entirely involuntarily through his off-the-rails caligula-esque antics indeed "brought the entire house down" by simply revealing how it had become totally rotten in its foundation anyways?

    I still believe that Jews prefer to live in a chaotic society where competing ethnic and races are fighting each others rather than an homogeneous white (or other race) society which will naturally and eventually eliminate the parasites that are killing this society.

    Of course, all the third world settlers are happy to oblige and wouldn't mind to take what white people have built for centuries as their own and live like kings on social welfare.

    Problem is, as soon as white become a minority, white countries will become the same shitholes that the immigrants left, look no further than South Africa.

    And yes, there is a plan to destroy the homogeneity of the white race as it was officially announced by one of these Jews on BBC in 2015, a EU kommissar and UN rapporteur for migration.

    "A main feature of Greta Handel’s commentary, along with Loyalty if the First Law of Morality, is bashing older people for being out of touch, over-conservative, unambitious do-nothings more interested in “reverse mortgage” than in good racial policy. "

    The only thing those two have in common is the first thing you mention - they both do "bash" older people (boomers) for being out of touch. Greta doesn't care at all about "good racial policy" as far as whites are concerned, and spends most of her time complaining about comment moderation and engaging in interrogation slop that distracts from the actual point being discussed. Litflom can go too far when his frustration gets the better of him, but I think that can be excused. He doesn't engage in ad hominem or person attacks nearly as much as many others here, to include professional bully victim Mark G, if he does at all. Greta is big on personal insults. Litflom also makes very good arguments, and patiently discusses topics with those he disagrees with, to include the estrogen fueled Fizz Dave. In short, Litflom has more in common with you, Hail, than he does Greta.

    Many boomers cry foul when the boomer slur is thrown out there, but the reality is there is some truth to that stereotype. Mark G and Fizz Dave (and Sailer ftm) illustrate that nicely. They are hyper insulated from the real changes society is going through and cling to some obsolete idea of political discourse. They damn well know to stay away from blacks and other minorities, but that egalitarian indoctrination they were exposed to as kids and adults is entrenched, and anyone that advocates for whites to have rights in their own country is called RACIST!!11 or the even more gutless and smarmy term "racialist".

    Dunno if ‘Puppet Regime’ (YouTube satire site) is the originator of this, but somebody is starting a new Trumpet meme: NACHO, i.e. Not A Chance [will] Hormuz Open.

    I wrote months ago that in some respects, I was glad the Trumpet got elected. He has entirely shredded America’s standing in the world. He has obliterated any trust or belief in it, but more (most) importantly, he has torn down the facade that hid the corruption and avarice of the American political class that has operated long before I was born.

    The Trumpet managed to bankrupt at least four casinos. How does one even bankrupt a casino?? His fifth bankruptcy may be the US itself.

    He has done more damage to America that any external ‘enemy’ could ever hope to achieve. His foreign policy seems to be scripted entirely from Monty Python. American foreign policy long objectified the prevention of a coming together of Russia and China.

    They are now besties.

    Further, he seems to be accomplishing the same thing by driving Europe into the Chinese orbit.

    There is a good chance that America will be largely ejected from the Middle East as more Gulf States are beginning to rue their association with America and begin to look to Russia and China to provide a more stable security environment.

    Some blogger emphasized the foolishness of the Trumpet’s war with Iran by noting that it took the US 20 some years to replace the Taliban (in Afghanistan) with the Taliban, but just a few weeks to replace Khomenei with Khomenei.

    America needs a very serious reboot. I don’t think simply unplugging and replugging ((s)elections) will do the trick.

    Racial differences in everything from schizophrenia rates, to IQ, to gestation periods, to birth weights, and longevity, are all explained quite completely and accurately by Rushton's r-K evolutionary strategy work. Rushton's thesis is that these differences are all just natural adaptations to different environments, which either favored "fast" or "slow" reproduction rates.

    Here are three reasons why the US should NOT withdraw from the Gulf, regardless of inflation worries or gas prices.

    1. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to keep the enriched uranium they hold. If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

The reason Florida is the mudshark and wigger capital of America is largely due to the influx of those above the Mason-Dixon Line, a great deal come from Massachusetts. The Detroit Tigers won the World Series in 1968 which was the time period that Detroit had the riots of 1967-1968, Boston lost to the Reds in perhaps one of the best World Series ever in 1975. Coincidence? Haha.

    I’ve probably related how I had worked with civilians on the fire department at Governors Island a couple times. We were located about a 15 minute ferry ride from Manhattan, wonderful view of Lady Liberty and that is where they had a big soirée for Her 100th birthday in 1986. We had an all White civilian crew, a crew with 2 Whites, 2 spics, and a Black guy, 4 Coasties with one Black guy. I would work with both crews, we would swap days out and at 24 on 24 off, I could hop on a People’s Express back then and fly to Florida for a week and only use to 2 days leave sometimes. These crews despised each other equally, 3 Irishman all related on one crew, the other Irish guy not related pissed in the Puerto Ricans fireman boots. All the Whites lived on Long Island with the exception of the Italian captain who lived in New Jersey. The Italian captain and I were probably the 2 least racist guys in that department. I heard shit that would make the Grand Wizard of The KKK blush. The nigra and the spics were every bit as racist but were outnumbered.


    Just a guess but I bet Boston, even the city was pretty White in 1970-1975. The Red Sox were the last MLB team to have a Black on their team and those old great Boston Celtics teams were very White for the NBA. Boston is/was probably more racist than Birmingham, Alabama.

    Even leaving aside the factor of race, if a large population is imported from a society with a higher crime rate, that will raise the crime rate of the importing society.

    Many people in Europe are reporting they no longer feel safe walking about their cities at night since the large increase in unvetted migrants. The "grooming gangs" in Britain are a significant topic of conversation. Yet as you note, discussions of this development is absent from the establishment media.

    This absence is irrational. In that way it resembles the absence of establishment reporting on Israel's crimes and history.

    Which raises the question - who controls/owns the establishment media? And are they the same people who own the politicians who vote for policies that are destroying their own societies?

    In addition to their safety being compromised, the citizens of Britain and Ireland in particular are being forced to pay the hotel bills for thousands of such unvetted migrants. And they are being forced to pay higher costs for heating fuel because their rulers have cut off Russian fuel. And their quality of life is further being degraded to send money into the Ukraine money laundering operation. And to borrow billions more from the banks to send to Ukraine.

    The Odyssey was issue # 8 in the classics illustrated comic books published in 1956. Where I went to college they had used copies of all these comic books in the section next to the Cliff’s notes.

    The problem is that on the tough votes like the BBB -- Massie helps Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats.

    Please notice that the "Muslim First, America Last" types like Hail:

    • Aggressively try to make it about Israel.
    • Ignore critical votes like the BBB.

    And, its not like Massie's hands are clean: (1)


    Where the money part gets interesting, because the Kentucky Republican [Massie] gets a lot of it from an unusual source — the Mahrouq family of Texas
    ...

    Stock Mom also noted — and the public record backs this up — who else the Mahrouqs give to:


    For over ten years, the family has maxed out donations to the most anti-Israel progressives in Congress. They have given heavily to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and others. They also donated large sums to American Priorities PAC, where Sam Mahrouq gave 100k and smaller amounts to Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. American Priorities PAC is a super PAC created specifically to fight AIPAC influence and support candidates who want to restrict aid to Israel. These groups push extreme anti-Israel agendas and team up with far-left organizations such as Justice Democrats.
     
    The timing should also give you pause.

    More from Stock Mom: "In August and September 2025, right as Rep Thomas Massie started openly opposing President Trump on major spending bills, appropriations packages, and certain foreign aid votes, several Mahrouq family members, including Sam, Rania, Zaid and Raneem, each donated the maximum of seven thousand dollars to Massie’s campaign."

    Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, and... Thomas Massie?

    One of these things is not like the others, but when it comes to opposing Trump on foreign policy, they all look exactly the same.
     

    Those wanting to place American workers first need to support Gallrein. I am not in the district, and thus too am only an outside observer.
    ___

    Sadly low information voters may continue to support Massie even though it is not in their enlightened self interest.

    The market numbers look favourable now, but they are thin and thus not a trustworthy indicator. We will have to wait for the actual results to come in on Tuesday.

    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    To some extent I discussed these issues in a very long 2020 article on the intellectual history of American white racialism:

    You are right about the Jews but the issue lies much deeper

    Its not about replacing the White Caucasian population its about erasing our DNA, our genetical make up.

    Laugh if you will, but we are all genetically engineered – forget Darwin lol what a fishtail.

    The issue at hand is we were engineered by different (warring ) groups of Aliens. These Aliens used of course different DNA –
    Caucasians, whites were engineered by Great Greys – using their own DNA – which makes us a completely different beast (Talmud says we are not human) to them we are not – to us they shouldnt be but hey.
    African people were designed by bipedal Reptiloids using their own DNA and that of Lemurs – the result was the Chimpanzee – a botched Gen experiment. Then they took Chimp DNA and again used their own the result is the savage Black African – which is nothing like us – the unmolested African Population has almost 0% Bloodtype O RH Neg , so do the Jews and the Asians… Science says it has no clue- cause they don’t.

    The Asian were made using Chimp DNA and the stolen DNA of a captured White Caucasian Women, Have a laugh – soon there will be light shed on this too ;0)))

    Both Alien civilisations wanted to claim this Planet for themselves – for exploitation. Earth was part of a trio of planets. Pheaton and Mars were her sisters – they all became habitable about the same time. Pheaton was destroyed by war between the Reptilooids and the Greys it is now a Meteor field circling in Space. Mars was destroyed by war too a nuclear device was detonated close to the firmament / Atmosphare which cause the collapse and the extinction on Mars – the Remnants of the building can still be seen today.

    War broke out here too but we were saved and Gaya was not destroyed in that sense. We are prisoners on Gaya and have been for centuries if not millenia. The Darkness that the Reptiloids fight for has taken hold of our planet and it shows.

    They use their own simple people to manipulate and the Jewish Zionist to administer their plan. There are 1000’s of Us who subscribed to the darkness and are now their puppets in this global war. All western Governments are created and guided by this darkness ie their representatives.
    Covid was a Depopulation attempt largely foilded by Aliens that are benevolent towards us Caucasians.

    Non of the Wars that took place were necessary – they were deliberately started for the purpose of destroying what was good in our world and to further control of this planet.

    we are seeing now the endphase of that effort and the tides have changed, they will not succeed – but their plans are more obvious than ever and clearly visible. Mio of Souls have woken up and continue to wake up to our true history. They carry the light and higher frequency’s needed to elevate this planet out of the 3rd density it has been stuck in due to low vibrations created by Fear, Misery, Debt, Worries, Agression and Wars.

    Yes EVERY thought, every Emotion carries an Energy – multiply that by Millions afraid of sickness or war and it becomes a true force and we are the ones literally manifesting their wishes.

    Their Lies will not hold much longer – they will fight tooth and nail make no mistake. They will not go freely or gently – but go they will.

    At this point they still seem like an invisible foe but they arent.
    Always keep in mind – EVERYTHING IS ENERGY, hence EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ENERGY!

    Fortunately Putin sees farther than Karaganov. USrael wants Russia to launch nukes into Europe. They've been baiting them to do so for 4 years now, and each time Putin refuses to launch the nukes. they escalate.

    Why? USA has now spent something like $2.5 trillion on new tactical nukes, it's the only offensive weapon they have left. They intend to use them, as does the zionist murder colony on stolen Palestinian land. Except they don't want to be first to use them. They want Russia to have that honor. Failing that, China or DPRK, but especially Iran, would suit their plans.

    I sometimes wonder if the current crop of EU Quisling misleaders are smart enough to understand that they are provoking Russia into launching nukes at them personally, and destroying their own 'decision-making centers'. At the behest of the tiny-hat murder tribe, naturally.

    That’s false. They still have a modern arsenal in Europe which includes thousands of Tomahawks.

    Why didn’t the US give European Tomahawks to Ukraine if there is some conspiracy against Russia?

    More nuke hysteria.

    Maybe try actually reading about the war. Russian lines have barely moved in the last few months.

    The US doesn’t need to use nukes against Russia. Putin refused Trump’s deal and is grinding troops to take the rest of Donbas. They aren’t making progress and the US doesn’t need to do anything but sit back and continue to sell LNG to Europe.

    No. I believe there were a lot of inflated claims. No room in the hospitals. No ventilators. All the stores ran out of toilet paper for a week because of a media generated panic. My memory is there were no shortages of anything. One day I heard they had triage tents outside the emergency rooms and people were expiring in the parking lot and I went to my local hostpital to see for myself and it was the most normal looking hospital + emergency room you could ever imagine to see in your life.

    Really. Masks, guns, ammo, and many categories of food were rationed/unavailable due to supply shortages. People were buying freezers and stockpiling food so they wouldn’t have to repeatedly wait in long Covid lines outside supermarkets, where entry capacity was limited and many basic items were numerically restricted per customer. This lasted for weeks, before any Covid bucks were distributed to consumers by the government.

    Suburban and rural residential real estate also became a distorted/bubble market, not because of government cash printing, but because people who wanted to escape concentrated Covid and the 2020 Racial Reckoning Riots fled from urban areas.

    However, while not having enough time to read an article is a hard fact, it's not an excuse for saying that the article is bullshit.

    What this ranting individual doesn’t realize is that, white leaders are the ONLY ones doing this, nobody else worldwide is trying to replace their own people. Yet he says it’s not part of some scheme.
     
    Does he not realize that? I think he does. I think that's implicit in what he has written.

    I look at it like this. Mr. Duchesne is a historian. Like some historians, Spengler and Toynbee for example, he looks at history from a super-human vantage point. He posits abstract 'forces,' 'movements,' 'tectonic plates' (as I put it in one of my comments) as the cause of the continual flux of human events. Mark Keenan, in his The Hidden History of World II, takes the same approach.

    We as individuals are inside the 'flux.' We posit individuals and groups, the jews for example, as the 'cause' of what we see happening.

    Writers like Duchesne try to escape the flux in order to 'make sense of' human events. Do they succeed?

    Whether they succeed or not we all remain inside the flux. Spengler realized this. His response to this entrapment is embodied in the final words of his Man and Technics.

    "Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population"


    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is [...]
     


    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    This might be true if it was happening in non white countries, but it isn’t. Only Western Euro descended nations are getting the “liberal universalism” treatment.

    Amazingly, Mexico, China, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, etc. are able to resist this “liberal universalism.” I wonder why that is?

The only issue I have some doubts over is the hidden facets of the Iran War. According to independent world affairs analyst Joaquin Flores, the Iran War is not what the media reports it to be. First, Iran has suffered no mortalities of its soldiers as yet from the missile attacks (yes there has been civilian mortalities). Concomitantly, the US military has suffered only 7 mortalities (based on last week's data) in a freak overspill from Iranian missile attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia. There are many more US casualties but they are being treated in Germany.

    More importantly, Iran is selling crude oil using Tether bitcoin exclusively brokered by the financial firm of Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's son out of a brokerage house in El Salvador (offshored to avoid attention). Tether is backed by US Treasury Bills. This means that Iran is apparently cooperating with the US to manufacture a price bubble in oil by inhibiting oil supply. So, China is buying crude oil in Tether brokered by the Lutnick firm. Put differently, the US debt (and dollar) is being underwritten by the Iran War in an apparent cooperative scheme by the two so-called adversaries. The Petro dollar is being replaced by Tether.

    I am suspicious of unrecognized government price bubbles based on my experience in working behind the curtain of official disinformation during the California Energy Crisis of 2001. A price bubble in wholesale electricity prices was created by restricting supply. The premium from the price was to be used to pay off some $12 billion in stranded bond indebtedness on 19 coastal power plants that were converted to natural gas fuel from high polluting diesel fuel and then mothballed. But the Democrat Party enacted price controls on the retail price of electricity, destroying the bubble. Eventually, the $12 billion was rolled into a jumbo municipal bond issued by the California Department of Water to be paid off by a bubble created in wholesale water prices from buying electricity to pump water from Northern to Southern California. This water price bubble was created by a Court in a rigged court decision which declared an official drought in the Sacramento River system to protect a putative endangered fish.

    So, water rate payers mainly in Southern California paid off the $12 billion debt accrued by regulated private stock held electric companies (Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric and San Diego Gas and Electric which has gone bankrupt). This entire scheme was to protect the legislature from being thrown out of office in a Howard Jarvis like tax revolt. As I summed the energy crisis up in the title of an article I wrote: California Was Reducing Smoggy Skies Not Lacking Energy. The entire scheme was to meet Federal Clean Air Act mandates to clean up the smog traps by 2001 or lose federal funds for schools and roads. Hollywood produced predictive programming by issuing the film "The Perfect Storm" about how things like energy crises just happen accidentally.

    Niccolo Machiavelli said 500 years ago that it sometimes was better to commit fraud than lose lives in a war - it was the lesser evil (see his play The Mandrake Root). But lesser evils often had to be kept secret. But, is the (bogus) Iran War a lesser evil? There was a saying in California politics that the "tax payers wanted wetlands and bucolic open space (and fictional endangered fish) preserved but did not want to pay for it". The taxpayers believed it was the duty of socialized government to preserve the environment and pay for such luxury public goods without raising taxes. I throw this out there for commenters opinions because I don't presume to have all the answers.

    "A main feature of Greta Handel’s commentary, along with Loyalty if the First Law of Morality, is bashing older people for being out of touch, over-conservative, unambitious do-nothings more interested in “reverse mortgage” than in good racial policy. "

    The only thing those two have in common is the first thing you mention - they both do "bash" older people (boomers) for being out of touch. Greta doesn't care at all about "good racial policy" as far as whites are concerned, and spends most of her time complaining about comment moderation and engaging in interrogation slop that distracts from the actual point being discussed. Litflom can go too far when his frustration gets the better of him, but I think that can be excused. He doesn't engage in ad hominem or person attacks nearly as much as many others here, to include professional bully victim Mark G, if he does at all. Greta is big on personal insults. Litflom also makes very good arguments, and patiently discusses topics with those he disagrees with, to include the estrogen fueled Fizz Dave. In short, Litflom has more in common with you, Hail, than he does Greta.

    Many boomers cry foul when the boomer slur is thrown out there, but the reality is there is some truth to that stereotype. Mark G and Fizz Dave (and Sailer ftm) illustrate that nicely. They are hyper insulated from the real changes society is going through and cling to some obsolete idea of political discourse. They damn well know to stay away from blacks and other minorities, but that egalitarian indoctrination they were exposed to as kids and adults is entrenched, and anyone that advocates for whites to have rights in their own country is called RACIST!!11 or the even more gutless and smarmy term "racialist".

    Regarding Fizz Dave, he gets wide latitude with his anti white rhetoric from you and some others here, because... oh yes, the proclivity many here have for so called Intelligence and Credentialism (did you know he has a PHD from Stanford?)

    Replies: @Mark G., @Currdog73

    I oppose affirmative action, soft on black crime policies, and large scale non-White immigration. I oppose government enforced integration, preferring freedom of association. The majority of liberals would probably call me a racist for my beliefs.

    Some of the commenters here might think I am anti-White because I do not want to go back to the days of government enforced segregation. I think if we eliminated affirmative action and government enforced integration people would largely end up surrounded by others like themselves. I have the middle class values of working and supporting myself rather than becoming a homeless drug or alcohol addict. I went to night school to get an accounting degree. I am still working at the age of 69. I want to be around other people who value hard work and education. That includes non-Whites who fall in that category.

    A 2022 Pew Study found 52% of American Blacks have a positive view of socialism while only 31% of American Whites have a positive view of socialism. My opposition to a socialist economic system is the same as most White Americans. White national socialist types support an economic system that the majority of White Americans do not support. White Americans are not the same as Germans of the nineteen thirties. We have a different history, culture and political tradition.

  • There is a picture emerging that the Iran War is a staged financial ploy by the inner circle surrounding President Trump. This demands clarification that the mainstream media is not reporting.

    Mexican American geopolitical analyst Joaquin Flores has credibly revealed that Iran is receiving Tether bitcoin for its sales of oil (see his article (see Joaquin Flores, “Connecting the Dots From the Middle East to Europe and China”, May 6, Youtube.com).

    The war with Iran has put reduced oil supplies to China and Europe, resulting in pricing bubble for crude oil per barrel. Put differently, Iran’s war effort is indirectly being stimulated by the war and financed by Tether Bitcoins by Trump’s cronies through a company called Bitfinex, a finance firm off shored to El Salvador.

    Bitfinex was the first entity formed to trade in bitcoin in 2012. Bitfinex’s present chairman is Brandon Lutnick, son of Howard Lutnick, currently Secretary of Commerce. Brandon is also current chairman of the board of Cantor Fitzgerald, a global finance firm infamous for its 9/11 losses of 658 employees in the World Trade Center. At that time, Cantor Fitzgerald was owned and operated by Brandon’s father, Howard Lutnick. Howard Lutnick was also a neighbor and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, but he partly denies this despite making a trip to Epstein Island.

    Tether “tokens” (coins symbolized as USDT – US Dollar Tether) are backed by US Treasury Bills and gold reserves of the US Treasury. So, the US is indirectly financing Iran’s war effort, stimulating the price of oil upwards by restricting supply to China and Europe, and backing up the US debt and dollar as Tether is a fiat dollar collateralized stablecoin designed to keep a 1-to-1 par value with the US dollar.

    Iran’s de facto broker for sales of crude oil is Bitfinex. This raises a question whether Iran is colluding with Trump’s cronies to fabricate the war?

    Flores disturbingly also reports that Iran’s military has suffered no direct mortalities from the war. Flores states that one of Iran’s leaders who was allegedly “decapitated” at the start of the war has appeared in a video of a parade in Iran.

    Your lot never gives up with the anti-Kennedy rhetoric, like dogs that always bark at the postman.

    There may have been as many as 800 - 1,000 Special Forces in Vietnam under JFK, along with a handful of pilots who may have flown "combat" missions, but the bulk of U.S personnel in Vietnam at the time weren't really "troops" per se, but rather instructors, maintenance, supply and support personnel to get the VNAF airborne and keep it flying, and whip the ARVN into shape.

    The three armed services together numbered around 137,000 in 1960. In face of the communist threat, the army was expanded to 192,000 with four corps, nine divisions, one airborne brigade, one SF group, three separate regiments, one territorial regiment, 86 ranger companies, and 19 separate battalions, as well as support units in 1963,
     
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Republic_of_Vietnam

    The first U.S. combat troops did not arrive in Vietnam until March 8, 1965 when 3,500 Marines of the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade landed at Da Nang's Red Beach 2 to guard the sprawling Da Nan airbase, but Marines or not, the United States never was able to completely stop the random rocket and mortar attacks on U.S. airbases

    And the critical point you overlooked is Pres. Kennedy had ordered the bulk of those 16,000-some G.I.s to pull out of Vietnam by the end of 1965, because he knew it was a losing effort, in the final analysis, and not really our war anyway.

    Beyond that, JFK's planned to use "Peace and Prosperity" as his 1964 campaign theme, and I believe he would have used the 1,000 personnel he'd ordered to pull out by the end of 1963 as a demonstration if not celebration of his resolve.

    But of course, Pres. Kennedy was assassinated before he could bring his plans for peace and prosperity to fruition, and instead of about 200 U.S. deaths in Vietnam if the U.S. had pulled out in accord with Pres. Kennedy's plans, we suffered 58,200 deaths, a lot of broken hearts, and a still-broken nation.

    We can blame the American tragedy in Vietnam mostly on Ike -- Dwight David Eisenhower -- who failed to adhere to the Geneva Accords and support country-wide elections after the French surrender at Dien Bien Phu, but instead Ike began supporting, supplying. legitimizing and propping up the largely Catholic puppet regime in the south that coalesced around Diem.

    Going back even earlier in the whole fiasco, Harry S. Truman had spurned Ho Chi Minh's appeals for help after WWII, and instead financed and supplied the French in their doomed effort to regain their colonial empire in SE Asia against the Viet Minh.

    Just for fun try asking Chatgpt to fact check your statement:

    "The Barbary pirates were armed and supplied (and even partially manned) by the northern Protestant countries in Europe."

    Chatgpt responds:

    The claim is misleading and overstated.

    There is a kernel of truth: some northern European Protestants — especially English and Dutch sailors, privateers, and renegades — did join the Barbary corsairs in the 16th–17th centuries. Some converted to Islam and became corsair captains or crew members. ([Wikipedia][1])

    However, the broader claim that the Barbary pirates were “armed and supplied” by Protestant countries is not well supported as a general historical statement.

    More accurate points:

    1) The corsairs primarily operated from North African states such as Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Salé, often under varying levels of Ottoman influence. ([Wikipedia][1])

    2) English and Dutch merchants sometimes made treaties with Barbary states for trade or safe passage, and European powers occasionally provided tribute or naval supplies as part of diplomacy. ([War History Online][2])

    3) Some individual English and Dutch sailors/privateers joined the corsairs, especially during periods of unemployment or political change. ([Wikipedia][1])

    4) But Protestant governments were also frequent enemies of the Barbary corsairs. England and the Dutch Republic repeatedly fought them, bombarded their ports, and tried to suppress piracy. ([Wikipedia][1])

    So:

    “Partially manned by northern Protestants” → partly true.

    “Armed and supplied by northern Protestant countries” → overgeneralized and misleading, unless referring narrowly to diplomatic tribute/trade arrangements rather than deliberate sponsorship of piracy.

    The implication that Protestant states broadly controlled or backed Barbary piracy is not supported by mainstream scholarship.

    "There are no greedy businessmen?"

    Businessmen are always greedy but their greed does not always result in 9% annual inflation as happened at one point after large amounts of newly created money entered the system following the Covid epidemic. Inflation and rising prices hit full force after the economy opened up and pent up consumer demand caused people to spend the additional money the government had given them. There was a widespread mistaken belief during the lockdowns that they would have little effect on the financial situation of families because of the money they were being handed by the government. If they had known that was untrue they would have been less supportive of the lockdowns.

    You always have to separate rising prices from inflation from rising prices just because of an increase in consumer demand for some item. For example, over the last several years ticket prices for Billie Eilish concerts have been going up. This is not a result of government induced inflation. It is because more and more people were becoming aware how talented Billie was and wanted to go see her. There would be a ceiling on her ticket prices, though. Some people just do not have good taste when it comes to music and therefore have no interest in her.

    "Stocks seem to be doing well."

    Our current government inflationary policies have led to bubbles in stock and house prices. Young people do not generally own stocks or a house. Rising house prices have led to the average age of the first time home buyer being 40. Thomas Massie, who opposes the inflationary policies of the Fed, has said in his Kentucky primary race that internal polling shows him ahead by 30 percentage points among voters under 50 but 30 percentage points behind among voters over 50. Younger voters correctly intuit government inflationary policies hurt them.

    If they had known that was untrue

    So nothing happened. People liked their Covid bucks, didn’t know nuthin’ about no fiscal policy, numbers were continuously tweaked here and there, and inflation later dropped.

    For example, over the last several years ticket prices for Billie Eilish concerts have been going up. This is not a result of government induced inflation. It is because more and more people were becoming aware how talented Billie was and wanted to go see her.

    Are you sure it isn’t due to ‘basic bitch’ social contagion/mimicry among the estrogenic set of both sexes?

    Our current government inflationary policies have led to bubbles in stock and house prices.

    Assuming that those “bubbles” are supposedly due to “government inflationary policies”, I don’t see a problem. As you say, they’re “bubbles”: Price goes up, price comes down, buy what you can afford, with a discount for waiting until the current bubble pops.

    But of course, you’re dishonestly omitting other actual obvious causes for those price rises/fluctuation that has nothing to do with univariate “government inflationary policies” libertarian crank theory.

    You are presenting views here to an audience that is mostly willfully blind. I always looked forward to the articles and comments here on TUR. Not much of value remains here anymore. In this phase of the cycle in which we find ourselves, it seems that a form of mental illness settles over people who, in other times, are able to think about the complexities of human nature and what that implies going forward.

    I do admit, however, that I did smile at the author's use of Robert Kagan to bolster the conclusions in this article. To me, that says so much about the lack of analytical thought that we see in pieces like this right now.

    TUR used to be one of the few places a person could go for good analytical thought. At least today, that is no longer the case.

    I did smile at the author’s use of Robert Kagan to bolster the conclusions in this article. To me, that says so much about the lack of analytical thought that we see in pieces like this right now.

    What exactly do you find lacking in Kagan’s analysis, which then impinges on TUR’s ability to offer ‘good analytical thought’ (your words)?

    A couple of days ago Kagan told NPR:

    Well, I just don’t see what options Donald Trump has or is willing to undertake in order to open up the strait.

    And if Iran ends this conflict, as it currently is, in control of the strait, it really completely changes the situation in the Gulf. It puts Iran in the driver’s seat. It gives Iran enormous leverage, not only in dealing with the United States, but in dealing with the rest of the world.

    If Iran can charge tolls, if Iran determines who gets in and out of the strait and when, that’s just enormous power. And, in fact, I think it’s even more power than they would have if they were able to develop a nuclear weapon. And I don’t see what option Trump has to solve this problem, because they bombed Iran very effectively for 37 days.

    They took out the entire leadership, and yet Iran has never made a concession, and the administration has never been able to do anything to open the strait. So I think the option that would be necessary would be a full-scale invasion of Iran if you really wanted to remove the regime and open the strait. I don’t think Donald Trump or the American people want to do that.

    Now, you may not like Kagan, but that is not the point here, is it? The point is what in Kagan’s analysis of the situation is ‘lacking’?

    Before you make the claim that his argument is somehow unsound, you should at least offer a few points so readers can judge how in your opinion Kagan has it wrong.

    The problem is that on the tough votes like the BBB -- Massie helps Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats.

    Please notice that the "Muslim First, America Last" types like Hail:

    • Aggressively try to make it about Israel.
    • Ignore critical votes like the BBB.

    And, its not like Massie's hands are clean: (1)


    Where the money part gets interesting, because the Kentucky Republican [Massie] gets a lot of it from an unusual source — the Mahrouq family of Texas
    ...

    Stock Mom also noted — and the public record backs this up — who else the Mahrouqs give to:


    For over ten years, the family has maxed out donations to the most anti-Israel progressives in Congress. They have given heavily to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and others. They also donated large sums to American Priorities PAC, where Sam Mahrouq gave 100k and smaller amounts to Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. American Priorities PAC is a super PAC created specifically to fight AIPAC influence and support candidates who want to restrict aid to Israel. These groups push extreme anti-Israel agendas and team up with far-left organizations such as Justice Democrats.
     
    The timing should also give you pause.

    More from Stock Mom: "In August and September 2025, right as Rep Thomas Massie started openly opposing President Trump on major spending bills, appropriations packages, and certain foreign aid votes, several Mahrouq family members, including Sam, Rania, Zaid and Raneem, each donated the maximum of seven thousand dollars to Massie’s campaign."

    Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, and... Thomas Massie?

    One of these things is not like the others, but when it comes to opposing Trump on foreign policy, they all look exactly the same.
     

    Those wanting to place American workers first need to support Gallrein. I am not in the district, and thus too am only an outside observer.

    Sadly low information voters may continue to support Massie even though it is not in their enlightened self interest.

    The market numbers look favourable now, but they are thin and thus not a trustworthy indicator. We will have to wait for the actual results to come in on Tuesday.

    An op-ed in the New York Times on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) this week, He’s One of a Dying Breed in Congress. America Needs Him Now More Than Ever, could not have been any more sycophantic.

    The Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. That means they loved the likes of Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter twice, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden twice. But since Thomas Massie is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, he’s getting the kind of special treatment other anti-Trump Republicans from Marjorie Taylor Greene to George Conway to Mitt Romney have received.
     
    High information Kentucky voters know that Massie has willingly given aide and comfort to DNC enemies of American workers:

    Take Massie’s vote on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed by a single vote in the House in 2025 thanks to him and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Massie shot it down because it didn’t cut spending enough to his liking. Here’s the problem: Without certain programs in it (such as SALT reductions), the bill doesn’t pass because moderates had promised to reject it. You have to give a little to get a little. If the bill didn’t pass, as Massie desired, the result would have been a huge win for Democrats and a huge tax increase on people.

    But for Massie, the possible consequences of his actions (and lack thereof) aren’t the point. It’s all about fundraising and retaining power.
     
    Good news is that MAGA has done a good job getting intelligent voters to the polls. We saw this with the recent Indiana vote. And, just a few days ago when a RINO incumbent was defeated in the Louisiana Senate primary. Hopefully the America First contingent will unseat the failure that is Massie.

    I’m talking about when local, state, and federal law enforcement is completely overwhelmed, when they can’t come remotely close to stopping the spreading, let alone the containment of the violent, murderous, chimp-out of all African-American chimp outs.

    When the Saint Fentanyl (George Floyd)/BLM riots we’ve experienced are increased by at least a thousand fold (hunger brings out the worst in people, especially violent welfare lifers) the cops won’t stand a chance against them as it’s going off; law enforcement will be far more worried about protecting their own families from the violent hoards than fighting a losing battle against armed Nigs, Spics, and white welfare trash in the streets or in Walmart parking lots.

    Look what the Feds did to peaceful J6ers and extrapolate their response exponentially.

    It’s easy to come down hard on a sixteen-hundred white grannies and other law abiding citizens as the feds did to the J6ers; feds taking on 30 or 40 million hungry, violent, armed, mostly black and brown welfare-addicted losers is an entirely different matter. If/when that SNAP-card breakdown moment arrives regular Americans will be on their own; when a murderous hoard arrives at your front door to take whatever food, or anything else of value that you’ve got, you’ll want to have a gun and plenty of ammo on hand to fend them off.

    It all sounds so farfetched, but this scenario is possible.

    All I know is that if black, brown, or white trash wants to kill me they’ll have to work for it. I’m a good shot, so, if they manage to take me out, I’ll, with any luck, take a dozen or two of the SOB’s out with me. Although, my bet is that when their assaults are countered with firepower, they’ll move on to a much easier targets, people like the old, law-abiding grannies who supposedly tried to overthrow our government through a violence insurrection on January 6th, 2021.

    This article mentions that the behavior of White House is going to cause devastating losses to the Republicans in the coming Mid-Terms, but White House has mitigated this problem by carrying out extremely successful redistricting / political gerrymandering in Republican States, gaining dozens of new Congress seats that would have been won by Democrats in the coming Mid-Terms. And simultaneously, White House has blocked Democrat states from retaliating with their own redistricting / gerrymandering. Many Democrat candidates have already dropped out of the Mid-Terms, saying that they could not win anymore.

    Plus, even though voters for the current White House may not be as happy as before, they will still vote for Republicans because Democrats have nothing better to offer. Democrats are still doing all their identity politics which Americans don't want. Newsweek, a Democrat newspaper, just did a big article called "White Supremacists Hold Secret Fighting Tournaments Deep in Forests." Why would any European-American vote for a party that still calls their people "White Supremacists"? Democrat elites (Jews) simply refuse to give up things like promoting Homosexuality, Transsexuality, Feminism, African crime, general violent crime/theft, illegal aliens, anti-free speech, and anti-gun rights (people need guns to protect themselves from the African crime and illegal aliens).

    So, no matter how many bad things the current White House does, it would be much worse under the Democrats. It's almost like there are under-cover people in the Democrat Party trying to sabotage them by influencing them to support all these things most Americans don't want. There are just three things Americans want - a good income combined with deflation, freedom from non-victimless crime, and comprehensive healthcare. These are the only three things that should be on the official Democrat Party platform. And, Democrats need to mostly run heterosexual European males for political offices. Most Americans don't want to see African, Brown, or female faces. The Jewish can exert their influence from the background, but the public faces should be as described above.

    By the way, I think one can forget about the idea of a civil war - there is, as I understand it, no way the contemporary USA gene pool could ever organize such an event, or be willing to face the horrific tortuous agonizing process. But, there is a much more simple, non-violent, and legal path a hypothetical nation in a current situation could theoretically take - simply strike and end all economic activity by not going to work and by not spending any currency. In one month perhaps, the entire economy of that nation would collapse. This would have the same effect as a civil war.

Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive. ”

    In a world where the white European race is ten percent at the most of the world population, how can multiculturalism be anything but a phantasm?

    Why am I am thinking right now of that silly little trope, “A moment on the lips, forever on the hips.”

    In the arc of world history, what can multiculturalism be for the West but a day’s indulgence? Then there is the rest of the world. What black or brown country has anything about it that would attract mass numbers of migrants from another race and culture half a world away? If you want that kind of socioeconomic misery, you might as well stay home and enjoy it among people who are at least of your own language, culture and blood.

    Then there is the simple fact that the white European race is not reproducing at a rate sufficient to populate its own historic lands, let alone export diversity to the non-European world. Even if the white European race could establish a minority of, say, ten percent in some black or brown country, what would it mean in the long run? Suppose you made, say, Nigeria ten percent white somehow? Well, come back in a thousand years and Nigeria would be as black as it is today.

    Diversity means different things in the West and in the non-Western world. In the non-Western world, it means there are Westerners present for purposes of business, activism, cultural exchange and religious proselytization. In the West, it means colonies of fecund non-Westerners who furthermore often receive preference in higher education and in hiring in many businesses, granted by the elites of the West at the expense of the legacy population.

    It’s a pretty dim prognosis, but if you are one of the nons, what’s it to you if you are putting the system which has given you longer lives, the hope of escape from hereditary tyranny, and the opportunity for modern education at risk. Even if it’s back to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule, at least you will be free of the rule of the hated “machine” that has made you feel so inadequate. Even if a world without whitey means a return to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule for the human race, at least it represents the world of the known in the eyes of most of the human race.

    I had regularly read many of these stories in my newspapers, but they were so numerous that they were easily forgotten. Fortunately, at the beginning of this month someone helpfully published a lengthy article gathering most of them together in one place, documenting the absolutely extraordinary corruption of the Trump Administration. Based upon his tone, the author seemed to be a former Trump supporter or at least assumed that most of his readers fell into that category, and that made his account even more convincing.

    Seems. It seems that way because Unz has written 20 articles about Trump, and exactly zero about Joe Biden (searching for articles written by Unz with Biden in the title), exactly zero about the Obama presidency (one article is about the 2008 campaign and another about the notion that Michelle Obama might be a man.)

    As an aside, Unz has one article referring to the Clintons, written back in 1997. He has 2 articles referring to W, the latest one in 2002.

    It seems to me that Unz is pretty selective in how deep he digs in terms of uprooting presidential corruption.

    This is not a defense of Trump by any means. He has proven himself to be little more than a ventriloquist's puppet; distracting the audience with outrageous antics so the puppeteer can work his trade.

China’s strength economically was they took the best ideas from the west and east to bring practical results.

    In my belief one of the reasons Iran is still standing is because they don’t have an inferiority complex and view themselves as equal or superior to the west, if the west strikes they give an equal reaction. Some commentators believe acting as an underling is the way forward for China. Maybe Im wrong but I don’t see that. I think it’s great Hua is asking these questions. It would be interesting for someone to explain how China benefits from Washington closing the door on Chinese companies from American but allowing American companies in China is a win for China ?

    The dark side from this visit to China I seen was after the genocide and war in Iran for China to even allow the visit shows wealth and power can cleanse any sin.

    Excerpt-

    Every number missed bearish expectations — except distillates.

    The market is draining faster than models predicted.

    And the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) can’t save it this time.

    US total liquids with SPR are headed to an ALL-TIME LOW.

    Since EIA started publishing data in 1990 — this has never happened.

    The numbers:

    ▸ ~213 million barrels drawn from now to end of July

    ▸ 16.3M barrels drained per week already

    ▸ Products storage just 13M barrels from 2022 crisis lows

    ▸ 3 weeks away from US petroleum exports collapsing

    Read that last one again.

    The petroleum products the world depends on from the US?

    Gone in 3 weeks.

    And this is happening regardless of what Hormuz does.

    It’s too late to stop it.

    Aramco CEO: 100M barrels lost per week Hormuz stays closed.

    JPMorgan: Global floor hit by September.

    EIA today: Draws nearly double forecast.

    SPR: -8.6M this week alone.

    Every single data point is pointing the same direction.

    This is no longer a forecast.

    This is a countdown. To Global Catastrophe.

    No energy. No fuel. WITHOUT FUEL: No trucks to pick up food from farms to take it to processing centers.

    No trucks to move food from Processing Centers to Distribution facilities.

    No trucks to move food from Distribution facilities to Supermarkets.

    EQUALS: No food on store shelves and no way to get any onto to those shelves because there’s no fuel.

    Global Famine.

    During the 1970s, an increased demand for copper and cobalt attracted Japanese investments in the mineral-rich southeastern region of Katanga Province. Over a 10-year period, more than 1,000 Japanese miners relocated to the region, confined to a strictly male-only camp. Arriving without family or spouses, the men often sought social interaction outside the confines of their camps. In search of intimacy with the opposite sex, resulting in cohabitation, the men openly engaged in interracial dating and relationships, a practice embraced by the local society.

    As a result, a number of Japanese miners fathered children with Native Congolese women. However, most of the mixed race infants resulting from these unions died, soon after birth. Multiple testimonies of local people suggest that the infants were poisoned by a Japanese lead physician and nurse working at the local mining hospital. Subsequently, the circumstances would have brought the miners shame as most of them already had families back in their native Japan. The practice forced many native Katangan mothers to hide their children by not reporting to the hospital to give birth.

    Today, fifty Afro-Japanese have formed an association of Katanga Infanticide survivors. The organization has hired legal counsel seeking a formal investigation into the killings. The group submitted an official inquiry to both the Congolese and Japanese governments, to no avail. Issues specific to this group include having no documentation of their births since not having been born in the local hospital spared their lives.

    The total number of survivors is unknown, they definitely don’t teach that in their textbooks.

    The Chambishi Copper Mine in Zambia is CNMC’s exemplary ”digital mine” project in Africa, developed under the core principles of safety, eco-friendliness, and efficiency. The mine adopts state-of-the-art mining techniques such as “large-panel, high-sublevel, long-hole mining using large-scale trackless equipment for paste backfill,” and “vertical delivery of explosives and fuel.” It incorporates cutting-edge technologies and equipment including unmanned loaders and is supported by a digital mining management platform. The mine boasts more than 3.9 million tonnes of metal resources, with an annual ore production capacity of 4.5 million tonnes.

    This copper mine in Utah is being sold as “automation first”, but they still have about 80 workers doing something or other.

    Will people still be stealing copper, if automation cuts the price by half or more?

    Yes as I told you endlessly she is chosen because she had written a famous article about Biden's son in Ukraine. When Biden became president, she is removed.

    With all due respect, an oligarch benefactor is an oxymoron. Let’s say you steal a billion and toss few notes to the downtrodden, are you are a ‘benefactor’? It’s cheap positioning.

     

    Tigipko was part of the more "pro-Russian" benefactors in the Ukrainian society, so this is the benefactor of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, when it was still under Moscow, and "Inter", when it was the more moderate of the Ukrainian channels. In 2022, you can see his family was pro-Zelensky. But now, they move away from Zelensky.


    All of Inter and 112 online content has been deleted, so we can't see how Mendel used to report though.

    Postsoviet dictatorships are relying on alliances of mafia like groups, which the political science term seems to be "clans". They need be able to complete the internal repressions against those who disobey them to have an opportunity of success over more than a few years.

    So, Yanukovich wasn't able to suppress successfully, but Putin, Aliev and Lukashenko have been able to. Zelensky was expected to behave weak, but since 2022 Zelensky is behaving more like Putin, Aliev, Lukashenko, Yeltsin etc.

    Ukraine’s internal problem is the fanatical nationalism heavily promoted by the West for its own benefit. It’s a weird kind of post-nationalism oriented not on its own nation’s well-being but living off energy the unrequited pro-Western yearnings of the large part of the Ukie population.

    Fanatics always display madness in some areas of life – just look at the previous fanatical systems in that region. They often have an overall coherent mentality and some laudable goals but their fanatical emotional devotion creates blind spots leading to fatal errors. Ukraine is destroying itself, it’s a dead end – Julia seems to belatedly get it so I salute her.

    Annual deficits are basically on cruise control and beyond the control of any President. That is because most of the budget is attributable to non-discretional social security and health care spending which generally cannot be changed through the annual budget process. It requires separate legislation such as the legislation that created it and doing that would be politically toxic so there is no cutting the debt. It just builds until it collapses at some point.

    He also added debt through his attempt at raising tariffs without Congressional approval. You don't deny that either, right?

    These are the sort of megalomaniacal behaviors that had led me to characterize Trump last year as our own President Caligula

    Not only may have Caligula never said certain things attributed to him, the ancient history of Caligula was intended to smear him and embellish on his actions so as to make him appear to be a fool.

    Historian Aloys Winterling in his biography “Caligula” makes the cause the the emperor was an intelligent and crafty individual whose behavior is understandable in the context of his goal, which was to undermine the Roman Senate and the Roman aristocracy in general. In a context in which the currency of success and conflict was social status, Caligula’s “erratic” behavior becomes understandable.

    Appointing his horse to the Senate served as a way to mock the Senators and their quest for status while simultaneously demonstrating how truly inconsequential and impenitent they were. Reviving the maiestas trials in which Senators accused each other of conspiring against the Emperor and sentenced each other to death while professing great love for Caligula again served as a convenient way for Caligula to attack and humiliate the senators. Dressing as a deity and forcing the aristocracy to compare him to Jupiter further humiliated the aristocracy and exposed them as undeniable sycophants and liars.

    One has to be reminded the Roman historians like Suetonius were slanderers and propagandists who worked for the Senate.

    This is not to be construed as defending Trump who is the greatest betrayer in the history of the presidency.

    Voting against the Republican budget when your own guys are in power is the big one.

Being a dog-in-the-manger over the small amount of Federal spending that is discretionary is kind of showboaty. If you really want to restrain Federal spending, bring the 3/4+ of Federal spending that is on autopilot back to the voting table.

    NumbersUSA gives Massie a milquetoastish C+ on immigration votes in the current legislative term. That's an improvement over the previous one where he was an F though.

    Great article by Professor Ricardo Duchesne, of Canada:

    "Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population"


    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is [...]
     


    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    Incremental reforms, such as attacking DEI, restoring merit in some institutions, limiting gender ideology, weakening particular parties and lobbies, or even electing a populist party, will not reverse the [Great Replacement] trajectory.

    Only a profound restructuring of Western societies, more radical in scope than any previous transformation in our history, combined with a deep cultural and psychological reorientation of European peoples away from universalist liberalism, offers any realistic hope of escape.

Scheafe said he decided on 13 because there were 13 tribes of Israel, I thought it was 12 but anyhow Scheafe believed those believing Christ was God in human form deserved the same fate. Notice how the coward picked out a 76 year old man. Then we had the nun stomped in Israel, once again an elderly individual.

    Tommy Robinson just had a big Unite the Kingdom rally in London but despite his fighting rhetoric, will it lead to anything positive for Whites? I think the rally was far smaller than the one he led last year.

     

    A thing about Tommy Robinson is that he always targets Muslims and never says a word about the outsized Jewish influence in the UK media and politics. He’s also unusual for a right wing activist in that he has plenty of money. After getting arrested he’s always out in a few days + the media are always there to film the worst skinhead Nazi types that he cultivates. You can reach your own conclusions about what he’s doing.

    Replies: @Commentator Mike

    Or you could see it that he tries to get some Jews to be on the side of Whites. Let’s face it, Jews are totally behind the Muslim invasion of the West and the political/cultural/religious empowering of Muslims in Western countries. Why did the Jews allow a Muslim to become the Mayor of New York? Surely Jews wield enough power in that city to have prevented a Muslim from getting the top post. It is obvious that Jews control much of what goes on in the West yet they have allowed Muslim Pakistani Khan to get the post of Mayor of London. And so on elsewhere. So when I see a few Israeli flags at events like UTK rallies, should I really feel offended? Isn’t it good that at least a few Zionists are not going along with the policy that most other Jews are enforcing in the UK and elsewhere?

    I guess I am one of the few that supports both the pro-Palestine march and Tommy’s UTK rally.

    In Japan, we had the 2008 crash, also the post-2011 earthquake crash, then the mid-2020 coronamania crash. It is all very tiring.

    However, the ZOG U.S.A. and its 'Israeli' controllers seem precisely determined on making a new crash.

    Self-reply. Clebourne suggested that everything works out nicely if Trump simply declares victory, then has forces stand down and withdraw.

    It’s a nice idea, but the Israel factor would likely wreck it if even attempted. As of now, Israeli military units are directly ‘serving’ in the UAE. The UAE is a federation of joke states with very small populations, entirely dependent on large numbers of indentured workers, high-rent paying westerners, and western oil-and-gas technical workers.

    Many of the ‘high-rent paying westerners’ are actually not western Europeans at all, but Mohammedans escaping from the mess they’re making in Europe. The famous not-Brit distance runner ‘Mo’ as just one example.

  • Trump did not make the decision to go to war with Iran. The Judeofascists did. And now, with their backs against the wall, the Judeofascist diaspora (what some call bio-Leninism) are doing another big virus scare. These two commentators are well aware of who and what is behind these wars.
    http://www.judeofascism.com/2026/05/judeofascists-and-their-marxist-zionist.html

    I’m a bit surprised, Unz, that you’re buying into this kosher media hasbara/narrative of totally scapegoating Trump and not mentioning the Judeofascists/bio-Lenninists (who were also behind the Iraq war, as Mearsheimer showed) and acting as if the bio-Leninist toad Robert Kagan is sincere in his newfound humility.

    Perhaps, like Mearsheimer, you’re fearful of an outbreak of antisemitism? (Mearsheimer isn’t jewish and has repeatedly been accused of antisemitism, but he’s still definitely a part of the establishment and he’s expressed fears of an outbreak of mass antisemitism.)

    Why would you fear a mass purging and execution of degenerate jews? Moses himself didn’t fear it, and actually initiated it.

    Why do Judeofascists or bio-Leninists think they can get away with starting these ruinous wars forever, and then just theatrically scapegoa their political fronts? Maybe because Trump is participating in his own scapegoat stagecraft, knowing he’ll never go to jail, and knowing his family members will never go to jail as long as the left-right Judeofascist/bio-Leninist establishment is fully in control and continuing to run amok?

    The Judeofascist Class has in essence declared, “Have our “right-wing” confederate fronts say “Let them eat cake”. We’ll then theatrically demagogue those fronts and again switch to the left-liberals (like Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden), just as we made up the Holocaust and then demagogued anyone who opposed us as antisemites. This way we maintain control. The stupid goyim will never figure it out lol.”

    This is why I’m surprised that you’re participating in this charade, Unz, since you’ve done so much to expose the “Holocaust” scam and so many other Juden-fascist/bio-Leninist inside jobs.

    Again, Moses didn’t fear a holocaust of jews, but initiated one. Christ continued his healthy tradition of antisemitism once the jew sludge had again grown corrupt, degenerate, complacent and arrogant.

    Judeo-Christianity/Christendom again needs to purge the jew sludge and their hangers-on lol.

    This is a valid statement, given the circumstances. President Xi not long ago said in relation to Chinese economic tough times, hat the population needed to "learn to eat bitterness" (is that like French cake? 😁). Well, that is what the US needs to also do while the Iranian problem is worked out.

    If a few extra $$$ in gas or food costs is going to bust your budget, then that's on you. Get a better job!

    Here are three reasons why the US should NOT withdraw from the Gulf, regardless of inflation worries or gas prices.

    1. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to keep the enriched uranium they hold. If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

A public park called the ‘Peace Park’ was opened at ground zero in Nagasaki in April 1955. That is less than ten years later. If Iran is determined to retrieve the enriched uranium they would not wait ten years even if a nuke is dropped on it. We also don’t know the actual location of the uranium in order to target it.

    The Japanese nuke bombs were airbursts. If we were going after the existing uranium, we would use a ground burst bomb. If we wanted to be extra nasty, we would design it as a dirty bomb that would contaminate the local area for decades to centuries, like Chernobyl.

    It was most likely moved last year and there is no reason to believe it exists at a single location. Makes more sense for them to split it up.

    There are people that at least think this is wanted, achievable, or ideal.

    I don’t think it can work, but I don’t have a 500 or 1,000 year plan; They do. If I’m being totally honest, there is only one way it could work, and that would be the elimination of all the races, and nationals, save one. Basically, global domination, and then it could be “one world”.

    Of course, nobody wants to think too much about that.

    In the interim, it’s just to fracture every society, so that there is no unity, and government can have supreme rule in that chaos.

    A lot of Chicken Little clucking. The oil companies are swimming in unprecedented profits. There is plenty of oil. This is a massive hoax to justify price gouging. The largest organized price gouge since the 1970's.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees. China is having no problems at all, and they are now even relaxing their export controls. Like America they have far more oil than they can use, so like America they are exporting it at huge markups.

    When Hormuz closed almost 20% of Ocean Going oil was paused. Perhaps 12 or 13% of all, since far from all goes by ship. At this point, it has become clear that no one needs Hormuz oil , except Aramco and a few other companies, and of course the Jihadi Gulf States, who are losing market share. The world has no need of Jihadi oil.

    Here at Unz, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pandemic and so is Chicken Little Syndrome. So due to oil industry price gouging and an insane Jewish Berserker as President we will have a deep recession and an absolute disaster for the Repugnikans in November. That doesn't mean the Sky Is Falling, and certainly doesn't mean the war is "lost".

    Where do you people come up with that " war is lost" narrative? Youtube videos churned out by various CIA assets? I believe that is it. The war hasn't even really begun yet. Zog just is having difficulties raising the proxy armies needed for a ground invasion. Ankara is the problem. Zog may have to wait till Erdogan's party is voted out. But the CIA will eventually roust up the proxies and the ground war will be on.

    Based on quarterly data released by the US Treasury, the debt at the end of 2008 – just before Obama took office – stood at roughly $10,699,805,000,000.As of the third quarter of 2016, the most recent data available, the debt as Obama is set to leave office stood at $19,573,445,000,000.

     

    Annual deficits are basically on cruise control and beyond the control of any President. That is because most of the budget is attributable to non-discretional social security and health care spending which generally cannot be changed through the annual budget process. It requires separate legislation such as the legislation that created it and doing that would be politically toxic so there is no cutting the debt. It just builds until it collapses at some point.

    Whatever statistics they give about the percentage of immigrants is a lie; there are far more of them than is officially acknowledged. Whatever numbers you see on the board of the boss of the ADL about the declining percentage of Whites they do not reflect the truth which is actually far worse. Whites in US are already a minority. This is all being done deliberately so you will relax while expecting to become a minority in 20 or 30 years time when in fact you are already a minority. Then one day you will find out that you are outnumbered by the immigrants and there is nothing you can do.

    A thing about Tommy Robinson is that he always targets Muslims and never says a word about the outsized Jewish influence in the UK media and politics. He’s also unusual for a right wing activist in that he has plenty of money. After getting arrested he’s always out in a few days + the media are always there to film the worst skinhead Nazi types that he cultivates. You can reach your own conclusions about what he’s doing.

    Or you could see it that he tries to get some Jews to be on the side of Whites. Let's face it, Jews are totally behind the Muslim invasion of the West and the political/cultural/religious empowering of Muslims in Western countries. Why did the Jews allow a Muslim to become the Mayor of New York? Surely Jews wield enough power in that city to have prevented a Muslim from getting the top post. It is obvious that Jews control much of what goes on in the West yet they have allowed Muslim Pakistani Khan to get the post of Mayor of London. And so on elsewhere. So when I see a few Israeli flags at events like UTK rallies, should I really feel offended? Isn't it good that at least a few Zionists are not going along with the policy that most other Jews are enforcing in the UK and elsewhere?

    I guess I am one of the few that supports both the pro-Palestine march and Tommy's UTK rally.

    This is the why Trump and his clown-car cavalcade are honking up a storm at Massie.

    Massie's principled opposition to Israel and AIPAC, and his total opposition to the now-established policy of giving Israel control over U.S. foreign policy, is the reason this guy Ed Gallrein is running against him (with funding that would make a Saudi prince blush).

    Israel is also the reason A123 (a pro-Trump cheerleader and Israel Booster) is against Massie. I think "it's really that simple." The talk of voting with the Democrats is just usual political hit-job hype-talk.

    Another big reason (besides Israel) that Trump dislikes Massie is this: Massie is a strict constitutionalist, ala Ron Paul. He has opposed Trump's overreaches on principled grounds. Trump, being who he is, received a narcissistic injury and has raged at Massie regularly for a long time.

    Sailer commenter Bill P on Christopher Nolan's multiracial Odyssey movie (July 2026):

    Bill Price
    May 17, 2026

    It looks as though Nolan's Odyssey will flop because it isn't some niche production for high-brow liberals like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” which succeeded largely because of rather than in spite of the racial expropriation of traditional heroes.

    Casting a dark black Kenyan as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as an Achaean warrior isn't going to create mass appeal, as much as it might excite postmodern academics. Just the black Helen alone is probably enough to turn off a large fraction of potential viewers, but the trans angle is really too much of a stretch.

    I've got to wonder what he was thinking:
     


    Some think he's trying to get an award, but he's an artist, so you'd think that isn't his highest priority.

    However, I'll bet an academy award is a very high priority for his producer, who happens to be his wife Emma Thomas.

    Apparently Mrs. (Ms.?) Thomas handles pretty much all of Nolan's publicity, social life and much else. She's a “dame” - feminine titular equivalent of “sir” in the UK - and lives with her husband in LA.

    I don't know for certain who pushed these casting decisions, but I strongly suspect it was Dame Emma Thomas, Lady Nolan.

    I’ve heard that Helen of Troy and Achaean are only small parts because The Odyssey is about a different set of characters in mythology (Odysses and Telemachus). The Iliad is about Helen and Achaean. Not sure if that’s true?

    The problem is that no matter how minor the role, casting an African as “most beautiful woman” in a foundational Western epic is making a very big statement.

He got credit for having a based approach to his movie making, but his movies were just less woke than the average. He employed the same subtle methods of inserting current year messaging into his movies. Lot’s of diversity in roles where it would be a stretch, and lots of girl power.

    A lot of Chicken Little clucking. The oil companies are swimming in unprecedented profits. There is plenty of oil. This is a massive hoax to justify price gouging. The largest organized price gouge since the 1970's.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees. China is having no problems at all, and they are now even relaxing their export controls. Like America they have far more oil than they can use, so like America they are exporting it at huge markups.

    When Hormuz closed almost 20% of Ocean Going oil was paused. Perhaps 12 or 13% of all, since far from all goes by ship. At this point, it has become clear that no one needs Hormuz oil , except Aramco and a few other companies, and of course the Jihadi Gulf States, who are losing market share. The world has no need of Jihadi oil.

    Here at Unz, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pandemic and so is Chicken Little Syndrome. So due to oil industry price gouging and an insane Jewish Berserker as President we will have a deep recession and an absolute disaster for the Repugnikans in November. That doesn't mean the Sky Is Falling, and certainly doesn't mean the war is "lost".

    Where do you people come up with that " war is lost" narrative? Youtube videos churned out by various CIA assets? I believe that is it. The war hasn't even really begun yet. Zog just is having difficulties raising the proxy armies needed for a ground invasion. Ankara is the problem. Zog may have to wait till Erdogan's party is voted out. But the CIA will eventually roust up the proxies and the ground war will be on.

    But that still does't mean The Sky Is Falling.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees

    Actually, there are real legal tools to indict them.

    The best federal statute would be:

    Sherman Act § 1, 15 U.S.C. § 1

    This can support a criminal indictment for price fixing, output restriction, market allocation, or other conspiracies in restraint of trade. The statute makes illegal contracts, combinations, or conspiracies in restraint of interstate or foreign commerce, and violations can be felonies. Individuals can face up to 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine, with higher fines possible based on gain/loss.

    But here is the hard part:
    Parallel price increases alone are not enough.

    Oil executives all deciding, separately, “Let’s keep supply tight and make more profit” is ugly, but not automatically criminal. The government would need evidence of an agreement: calls, texts, meetings, information exchanges, coordinated output cuts, instructions, mutual assurances, “you hold production down and we will too,” etc.

    Which would be as easy as a Discovery Hold.

    So the legal distinction is:

    “We all independently realized we could make more money by producing less” = usually not criminal by itself.
    “We communicated and agreed to produce less or keep prices high” = possible Sherman Act indictment.

    Now, will anyone in power ever contemplate this?

Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

    There is a paradox with Massie. I've heard him talking, and I've thought, "sounds like a reasonable guy", but then when checking his voting record, he votes against Republican bills (could be excusable since a lot of them are kinda dumb), but then he votes for Democrat bills that are objectively worse, so it's not that he opposes all bills beyond a principled threshold. It looks more like virtue signaling: sniffing that Trump's budget isn't pure enough for him, but backing Biden's far more impure budget because ... reasons.

    The suspicion of course, which the media will do everything to inflate in the event of a Massie loss, is that Trump is taking revenge for the Epstein Transparency Act, even though practically everyone implicated by the Epstein files is a Democrat.

    And, its not like Massie’s hands are clean: (1)

    Where the money part gets interesting, because the Kentucky Republican [Massie] gets a lot of it from an unusual source — the Mahrouq family of Texas

    Stock Mom also noted — and the public record backs this up — who else the Mahrouqs give to:

    For over ten years, the family has maxed out donations to the most anti-Israel progressives in Congress. They have given heavily to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and others. They also donated large sums to American Priorities PAC, where Sam Mahrouq gave 100k and smaller amounts to Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. American Priorities PAC is a super PAC created specifically to fight AIPAC influence and support candidates who want to restrict aid to Israel. These groups push extreme anti-Israel agendas and team up with far-left organizations such as Justice Democrats.

    The timing should also give you pause.

    More from Stock Mom: “In August and September 2025, right as Rep Thomas Massie started openly opposing President Trump on major spending bills, appropriations packages, and certain foreign aid votes, several Mahrouq family members, including Sam, Rania, Zaid and Raneem, each donated the maximum of seven thousand dollars to Massie’s campaign.”

    Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, and… Thomas Massie?

    One of these things is not like the others, but when it comes to opposing Trump on foreign policy, they all look exactly the same.

    The problem is that on the tough votes like the BBB — Massie helps Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats.
     
    The BBB was an overspending abomination that produced a $2 Trillion dollar deficit. Forcing up or down votes on gangantuan "must pass" mega bills that no one can read is classic D.C. Swamp behavior. It's nothing to brag about.

    Please notice that the “Muslim First, America Last” types like Hail:

    • Aggressively try to make it about Israel.
    • Ignore critical votes like the BBB.
     
    The Israeli propaganda attempting to infiltrate the American Right is so obvious and ham-handed that I have to think it is counterproductive. The message is always: "Support Israel or you are a dirty brown Leftist Muslim." Utterly retarded.

    This might be, but my interest in the Greek Orthodox Church – the one I was baptized in – has become secondary. The Patriarch of Istanbul [Constantinople] allowed the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to consider itself separate and autonomous from the Russian O. C.

    This despicable betrayal caused the Russian and other Slavic Orthodox Churches to sever all relations with Patriarch Bartholoamew and the Greek Orthodox Church.

    My primary Christian focus is the Russian Orthodox Church, which is the highest form of Christianity in existence.

    Massie’s primary is the most expensive in history. Pro-Israel groups have played a huge part.
    Politico May 16, 2026
     
    This is the why Trump and his clown-car cavalcade are honking up a storm at Massie.

    Massie's principled opposition to Israel and AIPAC, and his total opposition to the now-established policy of giving Israel control over U.S. foreign policy, is the reason this guy Ed Gallrein is running against him (with funding that would make a Saudi prince blush).

    Israel is also the reason A123 (a pro-Trump cheerleader and Israel Booster) is against Massie. I think "it's really that simple." The talk of voting with the Democrats is just usual political hit-job hype-talk.

    Another big reason (besides Israel) that Trump dislikes Massie is this: Massie is a strict constitutionalist, ala Ron Paul. He has opposed Trump's overreaches on principled grounds. Trump, being who he is, received a narcissistic injury and has raged at Massie regularly for a long time.

    Replies: @Almost Missouri, @Sam Hildebrand

    Yeah, I know. I’m opposed to AIPAC’s influence too, which makes me appreciate Massie. But then Massie goes on to oppose Trump on things which seem to have nothing to do with AIPAC/Israel. Why? I don’t think it’s “principles” or “Constitutionalism” because he’ll back Democrats in defiance of those same principles that he’s supposedly holding against Trump.

    This is what I mean by the “Massie paradox”.

    Couldn’t he just oppose Trump when he’s AIPAC and back Trump when he’s MAGA? Is that too hard? Why he’s gotta go make it an all-or-nothing either-back-me-as-crypto-Dem-or-back-Trump-with-AIPAC-baggage choice? Especially when the House is so precariously balanced, one vote can make a big difference. If he’s always voting as a Democrat, that makes the political calculus to unseat him very compelling.

    How has he "backed Democrats"? I don't see that Massie has done much of anything wrong while in office. He has consistently opposed unrestrained government spending, by Republican and Democrat administrations, defended the rightful authority of Congress against Executive encroachment, and acted to uphold the law and long-established parliamentary procedures.

    No. I believe there were a lot of inflated claims. No room in the hospitals. No ventilators. All the stores ran out of toilet paper for a week because of a media generated panic. My memory is there were no shortages of anything. One day I heard they had triage tents outside the emergency rooms and people were expiring in the parking lot and I went to my local hostpital to see for myself and it was the most normal looking hospital + emergency room you could ever imagine to see in your life.

    For coding, more of a thing in 2025 or earlier, I think. Using Claude Code in 2026 has shown me:

    1. You can just vibecode to an astounding degree (very loose prompting) and the generated code just works. Amazing.

    2. The generated code I have examined was dutifully tedious but not odd. I have seen much, much worse code written by humans. Much worse. In production.

    3. It's not limited to just generating code, but can be used throughout software development. It can port your code to a new programming language. It can debug and fix your network configuration. It can find exploits in your code (Project Glasswing).

    4. I haven't used OpenClaw myself but there you have a new vista of functionality (at this time YOLO-tier, but that will change).

    Programming is one thing, but the strongest results at this time actually seem to be in maths and physics. For example solving several open Erdos problems in recent weeks, deriving some new result in physics far beyond me, and attaining excellent results in the international math and physics olympiads.

    Hua's discontent is starting to sound like Paul Robert's complaints against Putin. Meanwhile the Russians continue their slow 'n go strategery, taking their time, going at their own pace, achieving objectives methodically.

    China's confrontation with the US will be under the cover of diplomacy. While it is true that Xi's byword is 'stability', it's clear from the latest five year plan that China is working on self-sufficiency along with a domestic/foreign policy that moves apart from US interests. Of course Hua knows this, but is just venting anticipatory frustrations (not unlike PCR).

    Meanwhile, the US (and Trump) continue the downward slide, one solely of its own making, without either help or overt hindrance from China.

    Although Hua spends his ink mostly complaining, your point that it is not what is most important in his article is a good one. And from that angle, it is much worse in the US.

    One could easily point to an episode from 2018 or therabouts, when Jack Ma's Ant Group essentially attempted to 'privatize' and subsequently control a large section of the Chinese banking system. The state owned People's Bank of China put a quick stop to it. Essentially telling the 'private' sector-- you people can make as much money as you want, but you must stay out of the government's business.

    However the US is doubly affected, because not only are its oligarchs influencing government for their own benefit, its Jewish plutocrats lobby on behalf of a foreign country--Israel. Using what amounts to bribery (under its 'soft' name of campaign contributions) and other in-kind payments. This treasonous behavior would never be allowed by the Chinese Communists.

    A lot of Chicken Little clucking. The oil companies are swimming in unprecedented profits. There is plenty of oil. This is a massive hoax to justify price gouging. The largest organized price gouge since the 1970's.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees. China is having no problems at all, and they are now even relaxing their export controls. Like America they have far more oil than they can use, so like America they are exporting it at huge markups.

    When Hormuz closed almost 20% of Ocean Going oil was paused. Perhaps 12 or 13% of all, since far from all goes by ship. At this point, it has become clear that no one needs Hormuz oil , except Aramco and a few other companies, and of course the Jihadi Gulf States, who are losing market share. The world has no need of Jihadi oil.

    Here at Unz, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pandemic and so is Chicken Little Syndrome. So due to oil industry price gouging and an insane Jewish Berserker as President we will have a deep recession and an absolute disaster for the Repugnikans in November. That doesn't mean the Sky Is Falling, and certainly doesn't mean the war is "lost".

    Where do you people come up with that " war is lost" narrative? Youtube videos churned out by various CIA assets? I believe that is it. The war hasn't even really begun yet. Zog just is having difficulties raising the proxy armies needed for a ground invasion. Ankara is the problem. Zog may have to wait till Erdogan's party is voted out. But the CIA will eventually roust up the proxies and the ground war will be on.

    They have argued Steve Sailer's purpose is to run a "copium den" for older White males. Sailer as deradicalization project when what is needed in the face of the anti-White U.S. system is radical opposition to get things moving again.

    All this is the perennial attitude of the relatively young against the relatively older.

    It's is an interesting perspective but I have never seen this is fully accurate with regard to Sailer. I also see how they could see it that way.

    Mr. Handel is among those of us at the younger end of the range of regular commenters here. He's not right that the Sailer people are all nearing or in retirement age.

    In any case, a Hindu masquerading as White would more likely try to unite all age groups of Whites to fight Muslims and support Israel (?), than to try to drive a wedge between those born in the 1940s--60s and those born in the 1980s--90s.

    The only thing those two have in common is the first thing you mention – they both do “bash” older people (boomers) for being out of touch. Greta doesn’t care at all about “good racial policy” as far as whites are concerned, and spends most of her time complaining about comment moderation and engaging in interrogation slop that distracts from the actual point being discussed. Litflom can go too far when his frustration gets the better of him, but I think that can be excused. He doesn’t engage in ad hominem or person attacks nearly as much as many others here, to include professional bully victim Mark G, if he does at all. Greta is big on personal insults. Litflom also makes very good arguments, and patiently discusses topics with those he disagrees with, to include the estrogen fueled Fizz Dave. In short, Litflom has more in common with you, Hail, than he does Greta.

    Many boomers cry foul when the boomer slur is thrown out there, but the reality is there is some truth to that stereotype. Mark G and Fizz Dave (and Sailer ftm) illustrate that nicely. They are hyper insulated from the real changes society is going through and cling to some obsolete idea of political discourse. They damn well know to stay away from blacks and other minorities, but that egalitarian indoctrination they were exposed to as kids and adults is entrenched, and anyone that advocates for whites to have rights in their own country is called RACIST!!11 or the even more gutless and smarmy term “racialist”.

    Regarding Fizz Dave, he gets wide latitude with his anti white rhetoric from you and some others here, because… oh yes, the proclivity many here have for so called Intelligence and Credentialism (did you know he has a PHD from Stanford?)

    I oppose affirmative action, soft on black crime policies, and large scale non-White immigration. I oppose government enforced integration, preferring freedom of association. The majority of liberals would probably call me a racist for my beliefs.

    Some of the commenters here might think I am anti-White because I do not want to go back to the days of government enforced segregation. I think if we eliminated affirmative action and government enforced integration people would largely end up surrounded by others like themselves. I have the middle class values of working and supporting myself rather than becoming a homeless drug or alcohol addict. I went to night school to get an accounting degree. I am still working at the age of 69. I want to be around other people who value hard work and education. That includes non-Whites who fall in that category.

    A 2022 Pew Study found 52% of American Blacks have a positive view of socialism while only 31% of American Whites have a positive view of socialism. My opposition to a socialist economic system is the same as most White Americans. White national socialist types support an economic system that the majority of White Americans do not support. White Americans are not the same as Germans of the nineteen thirties. We have a different history, culture and political tradition.

    Oyvey's views are just more hubris, and depending on the cutoff for the blathering of ineffectual hubris relates more to the speakers present income than to reality.

    It is general bland discounting of material you do not want to hear but would rather claim,

    "TUR used to be one of the few places a person could go for good analytical thought. At least today, that is no longer the case."

    At yet others are to heed your blather.

    I did smile at the author’s use of Robert Kagan to bolster the conclusions in this article. To me, that says so much about the lack of analytical thought that we see in pieces like this right now.
     
    What exactly do you find lacking in Kagan's analysis, which then impinges on TUR's ability to offer 'good analytical thought' (your words)?

    A couple of days ago Kagan told NPR:

    Well, I just don't see what options Donald Trump has or is willing to undertake in order to open up the strait.

    And if Iran ends this conflict, as it currently is, in control of the strait, it really completely changes the situation in the Gulf. It puts Iran in the driver's seat. It gives Iran enormous leverage, not only in dealing with the United States, but in dealing with the rest of the world.

    If Iran can charge tolls, if Iran determines who gets in and out of the strait and when, that's just enormous power. And, in fact, I think it's even more power than they would have if they were able to develop a nuclear weapon. And I don't see what option Trump has to solve this problem, because they bombed Iran very effectively for 37 days.

    They took out the entire leadership, and yet Iran has never made a concession, and the administration has never been able to do anything to open the strait. So I think the option that would be necessary would be a full-scale invasion of Iran if you really wanted to remove the regime and open the strait. I don't think Donald Trump or the American people want to do that.
     
    Now, you may not like Kagan, but that is not the point here, is it? The point is what in Kagan's analysis of the situation is 'lacking'?

    Before you make the claim that his argument is somehow unsound, you should at least offer a few points so readers can judge how in your opinion Kagan has it wrong.

    Perhaps more important to consider is why white men are allowing themselves to be replaced -- the surrender of white civilization to racial aliens from shitholes will be the greatest act of cowardice and betrayal in human history.

    A rallying cry of the American Revolution was 'no taxation without representation' -- while today Whites have nominal representation, via the coercive tax system they are effectively enslaved by a state that is facilitating their destruction -- I think Revilo Oliver was the first person I heard refer to the Revenue Act of 1913 (passed after ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment) as the 'white slave act.'

    With demographic replacement, there will be no representation for Whites as a minority population -- what I call the physical elimination phase of 'diversity' began some time ago: removal of monuments, renaming of streets and schools, etc -- also dehumanizing Whites by labeling them 'racist', 'supremacist', and beneficiaries of unfair and unearned 'privilege'-- so non-Whites are not hiding their intentions -- the menace is clear.

    Why do whites allow themselves to be replaced. With what I learned in school it was the moral thing to do. The grown ups in my day thought the Jews were white as well and the Jews were good people that wanted what was best for the country. Brain washing works. This article is part of it and evil wins by making bad things look good and good things look bad. In 1970 I graduated from HS and could not get a job because they could only hire blacks. Now I am told that I am responsible for the blacks failures. My parents went along with all of that because it was all going to be a good thing. Those trees are now bearing fruit and it is all corrupt. Anything that misdirects us from the real problem is part of the problem.

    Great article by Professor Ricardo Duchesne, of Canada:

    "Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population"


    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is [...]
     


    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    Saddam never said that. Compared to Trump, Saddam was a courageous and honest man. Saddam turned Iraq from a poor nation into the most advanced nation in the region before it was deliberately and criminally destroyed by the Jews and their savage dogs. He was a victim of a large Satanic Jewish conspiracy, just like al-Qadhafi and al-Assad. Saddam should not be blamed for the Iraq-Iran war. The war was orchestrated by the US, Israel, and the Arab family dictators. The war lasted eight years because no one wanted it to stop. It was fueled by the dictators, the US-led West, and the Jews. The Jew, Henry Kissinger, openly said, “Let them kill each other.” Later, when Saddam tried to teach the Kuwaiti and Saudi dictators a lesson, Iran supported the U.S.-led “Coalition of the Willing” armies’ criminal attacks on Iraq and later used genocidal sanctions to bust its ailing economy. In the 2003 aggression and invasion of Iraq, Iran was one of the major US allies invading Iraq from the West, the U.S.-UK from the South and Southeast, the Jews (Mossad), the Poles, Australians, and other invaders were from Jordan. More than 20 countries were involved in the illegal aggression and invasion, with over 500,000 troops. This was after decades of genocidal sanctions that killed more than 1.5 million Iraqis, including 600,000 children under the age of 5, daily aerial bombardments by the U.S. UK, the Jews “Israel,” and UN-supervised disarmament that rendered Iraq completely defenseless against the biggest invasion of modern times. It is misleading to compare Iraq with Iran. The overwhelming majority of the current and past Iranian leaders, including Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, have lived and studied in Iraq. Today, Iraq is the only country in the region that is standing with Iran, despite being occupied by the Zionist-Fascistic axis of Jews and Americans. It is sad to watch Professor Mohammad Marandi’s obsession with Saddam in his often propagandistic outburst against Iraq.

We can only hope that our MONSTERS will take the elevator into the lowest pits of Hell.

    Therefore we National Socialists have purposely drawn a line through the line of conduct followed by
    pre−War Germany in foreign policy. We put an end to the perpetual Germanic march towards the South and West of Europe and turn our eyes towards the lands of the East. We finally put a stop to the colonial and trade policy of pre−War times and pass over to the territorial policy of the future. But when we speak of new territory in Europe to−day we must principally think of Russia and the border States subject to her. Destiny itself seems to wish to point out the way for us here. In delivering Russia over to Bolshevism, Fate robbed the Russian people of that intellectual class which had once created the Russian State and were the guarantee of its existence. For the Russian State was not organized by the constructive political talent of the Slav element in Russia, but was much more a marvelous exemplification of the capacity for State−building possessed by the Germanic element in a race of inferior worth.

    Any European state would have had to consider the consequences of a new German empire built on such scale. But even so, this did not result in any war-measures against Germany. It was the violation of the Munich Agreement, with the occupation of Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, which forced Chamberlain to treat such statements seriously as a portent of broad ambitions.

    Casting a dark black Kenyan as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as an Achaean warrior isn’t going to create mass appeal, as much as it might excite postmodern academics. Just the black Helen alone is probably enough to turn off a large fraction of potential viewers, but the trans angle is really too much of a stretch.

    I’ve got to wonder what he was thinking:
     
    Oppenheimer was properly cast and successful.

    The number of problems keeps growing.

    -1- Trans-chilles
    -2- Helen of deTroyt
    -3- Zendaya as Athena
    -4- Travis Scott -- Because rap is period accurate(?)
    -5- The score will not feature an orchestra -- Because that would be period inaccurate
    -6- Costumes/Armor are not period accurate
    -7- Giants that are not gigantic
    -8- The script is based on a modern feminist translation by Emily Wilson. Will the phrase “Daddy Issues” be used in the film?

    At least some of this is likely being forced by the project's financial backers. Is Nolan intentionally going too far in order to tank the movie?

    Perhaps some adaptation could have worked:

    • True period armor would look poor on screen, but why not stick with polished bronze? The "Batman" helmet is being mocked.
    • Nolan could have got away with casting Zendaya. That made it easier to obtain Tom Holland for a major role. And, a goddess with bored contempt for humanity is in her acting range.

    But there are too many issues. It's going to be immersion breaking, which is a disaster for epic storytelling.
    ____

    Will The Odyssey make money?

    Hard to say. There are a huge number of committed Nolan followers who will go. And, it's going to look spectacular. IMAX screens for the opening sold out months ago. It's going to pull in significant box office revenue even if it is bad.

    Does anyone happen to know the production budget?

    Hmmm . . . interesting response. I am not that intelligent don't even pretend to be. What I was looking for is the calculus. In other words what were the method of how this number was derived. The method is largely derived from slave payments. But that is misleading, because A black person purchasing a slave was not in fact purchasing a slave, but a spouse, a child, a parent, etc.

    Furthermore, considering the nature of black status in the US, even if free, would have been an extraordinary case(s) and that would include, those whites who were of the 0ne drop rule variety, whose mix was so undiscernible top advance to some place in the society.

    And I am not intelligent enough to argue that blacks did not own slaves as slaves -- or workers. I have little doubt that some blacks did in fact own slaves. Your assumptions about my motives missed the inquisitive I was most interested in -- the calculus and context. I can certainly read a chart that calculates this dynamic to less than 1%. But I was curious bout the context as from your own read. The reason I mentioned it is because this is not a new data set. It has been well known that some blacks owned slaves. But the conclusion has largely been based on payment records, which is misleading as Mr. D Souza discovered. We know that a few slaves were white, indentured, which was a form of slavery -- but not slavery.

    At any rate, the numbers make the case that slavery was a color matter as reinforced by the practice of kidnapping free blacks and selling them into slavery.

The first being the innumerable occasions when strange and sinister Obama declared ever higher oil and gas price a feature not a bug of his Green Scam. The second being a complete lack of any evidence whatsoever that Ron offered a peep of complaint.

    Ron certainly never thought that Obama was “remarkably callous” for loudly and proudly intentionally jacking up energy costs for Americans to force a green energy transition. From my close reading of Ron over the years the only complaint he’s had with Obama is that he’s black.

    Needless to add, Trump doesn’t get no credit for singlehandedly derailing the global green scam or engineering lower energy prices than Bush, Obama, and the illegitimate Biden regime.

    Trump: Not even a little bit. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation

    Nope, while Ron had nary a complaint about Obama openly imposing higher energy prices on Americans in service of the green cult, he excoriates Trump for being honest about prioritizing national and global security (“Iran cannot have nuclear weapons”).

    This exemplifies the damage done to the body politic since Obama took power. I mean, if long in the tooth Ron can’t keep his head on straight about how a POTUS is supposed to make decisions then what hope is there that Gen Z might.

Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    After denying the supposedly common explanations, Duchesne then turns around and seems to endorse them by restating them with different words.

    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between

    “[F]usion between” is not “a grand conspiracy”, you see!

    (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism,

    “[L]iberal universalism” is not “suicidal empathy”, you see!

    and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains.

    Totally different from “import[ing] a new electorate” or “refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis”! Totally!

    To be fair, he is emphasizing the commercial profit motive more than the strawmen explanations he opposes, but that’s hardly a novel or obscure explanation. Why, I’ve cited the commercial motivation years ago in these very pages, complete with detailed financial analysis.

    OTOH, his restatement (“prohibit[ed] state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value[s] pluralism”) doesn’t really capture what’s happening, which is to say, he’s inaccurate. The state, and its many organs and appendages, massively do have a culture preference and selectively penalize “pluralism” to ensure that their preference wins. The fact that the state and its appendages lie about what they do while they do it not only does not mitigate it, but also implies that a malign scienter is at work, as LITFLOM discerned.

    There is a paradox with Massie. I've heard him talking, and I've thought, "sounds like a reasonable guy", but then when checking his voting record, he votes against Republican bills (could be excusable since a lot of them are kinda dumb), but then he votes for Democrat bills that are objectively worse, so it's not that he opposes all bills beyond a principled threshold. It looks more like virtue signaling: sniffing that Trump's budget isn't pure enough for him, but backing Biden's far more impure budget because ... reasons.

    The suspicion of course, which the media will do everything to inflate in the event of a Massie loss, is that Trump is taking revenge for the Epstein Transparency Act, even though practically everyone implicated by the Epstein files is a Democrat.

    Anyway, I'm not in his District, so I'm just an observer in this.

    This is the why Trump and his clown-car cavalcade are honking up a storm at Massie.

    Massie’s principled opposition to Israel and AIPAC, and his total opposition to the now-established policy of giving Israel control over U.S. foreign policy, is the reason this guy Ed Gallrein is running against him (with funding that would make a Saudi prince blush).

    Israel is also the reason A123 (a pro-Trump cheerleader and Israel Booster) is against Massie. I think “it’s really that simple.” The talk of voting with the Democrats is just usual political hit-job hype-talk.

    Another big reason (besides Israel) that Trump dislikes Massie is this: Massie is a strict constitutionalist, ala Ron Paul. He has opposed Trump’s overreaches on principled grounds. Trump, being who he is, received a narcissistic injury and has raged at Massie regularly for a long time.

    Yeah, I know. I'm opposed to AIPAC's influence too, which makes me appreciate Massie. But then Massie goes on to oppose Trump on things which seem to have nothing to do with AIPAC/Israel. Why? I don't think it's "principles" or "Constitutionalism" because he'll back Democrats in defiance of those same principles that he's supposedly holding against Trump.

    This is what I mean by the "Massie paradox".

    Couldn't he just oppose Trump when he's AIPAC and back Trump when he's MAGA? Is that too hard? Why he's gotta go make it an all-or-nothing either-back-me-as-crypto-Dem-or-back-Trump-with-AIPAC-baggage choice? Especially when the House is so precariously balanced, one vote can make a big difference. If he's always voting as a Democrat, that makes the political calculus to unseat him very compelling.

    During the 1970s, an increased demand for copper and cobalt attracted Japanese investments in the mineral-rich southeastern region of Katanga Province. Over a 10-year period, more than 1,000 Japanese miners relocated to the region, confined to a strictly male-only camp. Arriving without family or spouses, the men often sought social interaction outside the confines of their camps. In search of intimacy with the opposite sex, resulting in cohabitation, the men openly engaged in interracial dating and relationships, a practice embraced by the local society.

    As a result, a number of Japanese miners fathered children with Native Congolese women. However, most of the mixed race infants resulting from these unions died, soon after birth. Multiple testimonies of local people suggest that the infants were poisoned by a Japanese lead physician and nurse working at the local mining hospital. Subsequently, the circumstances would have brought the miners shame as most of them already had families back in their native Japan. The practice forced many native Katangan mothers to hide their children by not reporting to the hospital to give birth.

    Today, fifty Afro-Japanese have formed an association of Katanga Infanticide survivors. The organization has hired legal counsel seeking a formal investigation into the killings. The group submitted an official inquiry to both the Congolese and Japanese governments, to no avail. Issues specific to this group include having no documentation of their births since not having been born in the local hospital spared their lives.

    The total number of survivors is unknown, they definitely don’t teach that in their textbooks.

    Talk about deeply insulting. Whose brilliant idea was that? May as well have not gone there in the first place if you're going to act so disgracefully.

    It's standard practice when receiving gifts on a diplomatic mission that you declare them on arrival at your home country, and if they exceed a certain value they become the property of the government. So if your kids received cool t-shirts or sneakers they'd be allowed to keep them, but if you received say, an expensive painting or valuable sculpture, the government would receive that and typically donate it to a museum or some other appropriate institution.

    Worth words. It was a ridiculous and insulting gesture, also outside the scope of diplomacy for centuries.

    The yanqui may as well have pulled their pants down and collectively shat on the tarmac before departing.

    The claim that it’s standard procedure for some places clearly states that China is seen as an enemy.

    If the bufoons in the U.S. delegation had truly been concerned about ‘listening devices’, they have devices to detect any EMR and any electrical or electronic activity.

    The idea that it’s ‘standard practice’ is ridiculous, likely arising from Kushner Jr. and Witkopf, both of whom deeply deserve the gift of a deadly explosive device, and with typical jewish paranoia, fear it, although their hosts wouldn’t dream of such a move (but should).

    I’d really laugh if reading tomorrow that Jared Kushner or W.T.F. Witkopf had experienced sudden death in some kind of vehicular explosion. Both of them, in the air at the same time, would be ideal.

    There is no way to explain his interest in all things Jewish outside of attachment to Jewish identity. His 1908-1911 Immigrant Cranial Study concerned the shapes of Jewish skulls. I don't know if he demonstrated anything real or not. His paper "Race Problems in America" supposedly looked at the history of Jews in Europe, and the entire point of the paper was to defend mass immigration of Jews (and others) into America. He also published a paper called called "Heredity and Environment" in a journal called "Jewish Social Studies", where he discussed the (claimed) persecution of European Jews.

    We also hear similar arguments to the effect that Marx was "anti-Semitic" in spite of his being surrounded by fellow Jews and advocating for Jewish emancipation. Nein.

    You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand
     
    Correct. You cited the “Covid epidemic” as a precipitating event for “inflation”, and tried to pin it all on “newly created money”. But were there no shortages of goods during the onset of Covid due to supply and/or consumer demand? That’s not what I recall—market distortions set in long before the government “passed out lots of money” post-lockdowns. Which also could explain subsequent rising prices.

    but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply
     
    Or businesses see an excuse to raise prices.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen
     
    There are no greedy businessmen? Hmmm. Maybe you’re trying to obscure the role of greedy businessmen.

    Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on.
     
    Oh, so greedy businessmen DO exist. Imagine my shock. Is “expand their operations” a euphemism for ‘raise prices’ or would businessmen never ever try to capture consumers’ “surplus savings” by inflating prices?

    Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    But were there no shortages of goods during the onset of Covid due to supply and/or consumer demand?

    No. I believe there were a lot of inflated claims. No room in the hospitals. No ventilators. All the stores ran out of toilet paper for a week because of a media generated panic. My memory is there were no shortages of anything. One day I heard they had triage tents outside the emergency rooms and people were expiring in the parking lot and I went to my local hostpital to see for myself and it was the most normal looking hospital + emergency room you could ever imagine to see in your life. I thought for a minute there I was inside a production of the David Lynch Truman show.

    RVs. Those Covid stimulus payments were perfect for down payments. RV dealers/manufacturers made a fucking mint during Covid. But I suspect most of them have burned through the surplus earnings as demand collapsed and lots filled up with slightly used units. Add higher interest rates on floor plans, and the suffering is real for the RV industry.

    Really. Masks, guns, ammo, and many categories of food were rationed/unavailable due to supply shortages. People were buying freezers and stockpiling food so they wouldn’t have to repeatedly wait in long Covid lines outside supermarkets, where entry capacity was limited and many basic items were numerically restricted per customer. This lasted for weeks, before any Covid bucks were distributed to consumers by the government.

    Suburban and rural residential real estate also became a distorted/bubble market, not because of government cash printing, but because people who wanted to escape concentrated Covid and the 2020 Racial Reckoning Riots fled from urban areas.

  • – Good article.

    Found especially the linked to “famous misquotations”-compilation website interesting, from fictional Ron Burgundy to infamous (“neo-Nazi”) Kevin Strom, all there, though many more could be added I suppose…

    The apparent very widespread human tendency towards partial/total inaccuracy in recollection (especially collectively) is probably worth pondering if one has/had the time and a stark reminder why eye-witness testimony in historical(/courtroom) settings is always the least reliable evidence of all and argumentum ad populum can be a highly flawed basis for determining truth.

    Regarding main topic of today`s political/economic situation and D. Drumpf (his family`s actual original name in Bavaria-Palatinate?), I am just utterly astonished how the entire western population here is sleepwalking into catastrophe, that large masses move slowly is somewhat understandable and one thing, but what is going on as we speak a total different caliber in my experience.

    The one key to the entire world-wide chaos obviously is the US-leadership, in both its meaning domestically and internationally, and the background of a generally highly corrupt international political system it reigns over/falls into.

    The latter obviously is impossible to change quickly because so long term entrenched, regarding the former main one, I don`t know, not being American and only having the armchair-smartass perspective..

    From that it looks like the real problem at its core isn`t actually Trumpf&Co`s government, but firstly domestically the appalling total practical failure of the constitutional/political safe-guard system (Congress/Senate) against the former`s overreach and lawlessness (also here due to long entrenched corruption by special interests it appears) and secondly the way the US election system works.

    The fact that firstly a (obviously from the outset and his biographical record highly morally flawed/compromised, selfish and less-than-responsible) person like him could ever become president and in fact appallingly the (politically/militarily) most powerful person in the world is an enormous indictment of the US electoral system (specifically its campaign-finance structure).

    According to Chatgbt there are only 4 countries in the world that have managed/allowed to elect showmen/actors instead of actual politicians to the highest seat of power:

    The Philippines, Guatemala, Ukraine and…..
    And apparently no other country has ever achieved the US feat of actually doing it twice (and also being THE most powerful one on the planet).

    The second fact/indictment then being the mentioned how the US congress has totally failed in dong its job to safeguard exactly against the totally irresponsible behavior and excesses of an elected leader obviously and beyond all doubt for months now entirely mentally and morally unfit for service in this position.

    As third and forth probably could be named the almost equally irresponsible behavior of the 15 second attention span sensational-hysterical US/international media and total failure of international “community” and its diplomatic institutions like the UN and then the question of the greater (US-) public simply watching it all happen and slow-motion drive towards the cliff, without any adequate rebellion whatsoever…?

    Sorry too long rant, just wondering aloud …..
    and speaking of Marie Antoinette, will we ever see a revolution in our days and IF (as unlikely as it seems) will Trump be historically regarded/remembered as the tragic-comical Clown character-“Ice-breaker”, who entirely involuntarily through his off-the-rails caligula-esque antics indeed “brought the entire house down” by simply revealing how it had become totally rotten in its foundation anyways?

    All that will left from Tarantino will be the cringe. He has some excellent scenes but overall his movies are unwatchable and make no sense - collection of puerile fantasies by a pre-teen mind.

    When you take out the few great scenes the rest is tedious and unwatchable. Tarantino does silly make-believe to please the bosses, that is never good - marginal wanna-be agitprop. Django was particularly bad. Inglorious Bastards was a sink of anglo-jewish dreamworld by a 10-year old. Tarantino is intellectually on that level, he is a very stupid guy.

    Odyssey is the final re-writing of the Western culture - Negroes are there to make sure nothing is left, we are all enslaved now and anything goes. Nolan didn't have to do it and it's the voluntary nature of his submission that makes it so final, vile and irrational, because they can.

    The fact that the NYT is backing Massie should cause everyone with common sense to back away: (1)


    An op-ed in the New York Times on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) this week, He’s One of a Dying Breed in Congress. America Needs Him Now More Than Ever, could not have been any more sycophantic.

    The Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. That means they loved the likes of Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter twice, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden twice. But since Thomas Massie is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, he’s getting the kind of special treatment other anti-Trump Republicans from Marjorie Taylor Greene to George Conway to Mitt Romney have received.
     
    High information Kentucky voters know that Massie has willingly given aide and comfort to DNC enemies of American workers:

    Take Massie’s vote on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed by a single vote in the House in 2025 thanks to him and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Massie shot it down because it didn’t cut spending enough to his liking. Here’s the problem: Without certain programs in it (such as SALT reductions), the bill doesn’t pass because moderates had promised to reject it. You have to give a little to get a little. If the bill didn’t pass, as Massie desired, the result would have been a huge win for Democrats and a huge tax increase on people.

    But for Massie, the possible consequences of his actions (and lack thereof) aren’t the point. It’s all about fundraising and retaining power.
     
    Good news is that MAGA has done a good job getting intelligent voters to the polls. We saw this with the recent Indiana vote. And, just a few days ago when a RINO incumbent was defeated in the Louisiana Senate primary. Hopefully the America First contingent will unseat the failure that is Massie.

    Will poorly informed, low-IQ yahoos push Massie across the line? It's possible. If it happens, it will be a tragedy for America.

    There is a paradox with Massie. I’ve heard him talking, and I’ve thought, “sounds like a reasonable guy”, but then when checking his voting record, he votes against Republican bills (could be excusable since a lot of them are kinda dumb), but then he votes for Democrat bills that are objectively worse, so it’s not that he opposes all bills beyond a principled threshold. It looks more like virtue signaling: sniffing that Trump’s budget isn’t pure enough for him, but backing Biden’s far more impure budget because … reasons.

    The suspicion of course, which the media will do everything to inflate in the event of a Massie loss, is that Trump is taking revenge for the Epstein Transparency Act, even though practically everyone implicated by the Epstein files is a Democrat.

    This is the why Trump and his clown-car cavalcade are honking up a storm at Massie.

    Massie's principled opposition to Israel and AIPAC, and his total opposition to the now-established policy of giving Israel control over U.S. foreign policy, is the reason this guy Ed Gallrein is running against him (with funding that would make a Saudi prince blush).

    Israel is also the reason A123 (a pro-Trump cheerleader and Israel Booster) is against Massie. I think "it's really that simple." The talk of voting with the Democrats is just usual political hit-job hype-talk.

    Another big reason (besides Israel) that Trump dislikes Massie is this: Massie is a strict constitutionalist, ala Ron Paul. He has opposed Trump's overreaches on principled grounds. Trump, being who he is, received a narcissistic injury and has raged at Massie regularly for a long time.

    Where the money part gets interesting, because the Kentucky Republican [Massie] gets a lot of it from an unusual source — the Mahrouq family of Texas
    ...

    Stock Mom also noted — and the public record backs this up — who else the Mahrouqs give to:


    For over ten years, the family has maxed out donations to the most anti-Israel progressives in Congress. They have given heavily to Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and others. They also donated large sums to American Priorities PAC, where Sam Mahrouq gave 100k and smaller amounts to Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption. American Priorities PAC is a super PAC created specifically to fight AIPAC influence and support candidates who want to restrict aid to Israel. These groups push extreme anti-Israel agendas and team up with far-left organizations such as Justice Democrats.
     
    The timing should also give you pause.

    More from Stock Mom: "In August and September 2025, right as Rep Thomas Massie started openly opposing President Trump on major spending bills, appropriations packages, and certain foreign aid votes, several Mahrouq family members, including Sam, Rania, Zaid and Raneem, each donated the maximum of seven thousand dollars to Massie’s campaign."

    Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, and... Thomas Massie?

    One of these things is not like the others, but when it comes to opposing Trump on foreign policy, they all look exactly the same.
     

    Those wanting to place American workers first need to support Gallrein. I am not in the district, and thus too am only an outside observer.
    ___

    Sadly low information voters may continue to support Massie even though it is not in their enlightened self interest.

    The market numbers look favourable now, but they are thin and thus not a trustworthy indicator. We will have to wait for the actual results to come in on Tuesday.

Per a commenter's short bio on the politics of Mr. Duchesne (and no denial from the author who did write in to correct someone on his ethnic background), I really like, even admire, the guy for his stance and courage. (He's in Canada, so yeah...)

    However, NO people or even political, racial/ethnic groups are discussed. It's as if his recipe of ideologies just up and did the Population Replacement Programme. I get that his thesis is that this Fordism/post-Fordism whatever, just plain resulted in the implementation and support for mass immigration.

    I don't agree. There have been specific people involved that could have been stopped. One could point to a handful or a dozen points in time at which, if some plan or policy was stopped, the PRP would not have gone any farther. People are responsible, not just vague synergetic ideologies. Some just think alike without a specific plan, perhaps a product of those ideologies, and others surely had a plan.

    [Ricardo Duchesne] seems like a good guy

    Here’s what I know about Ricardo Duchesne’s career:

    Starting in about the early-2000s, he authored many papers, essays, academic articles, and monographs pushing back against the anti-White tenor of the times.

    By the 1990s, the trend in academia and more broadly had shifted towards: There’s really nothing unique or interesting about Western Civilization or White people, except some negative things like the cruel system of slavery they ran, or the gas chambers they used against God’s Chosen Ethnic Group. But there are no unique accomplishments or anything; and we can and should prove this, deconstruct Whiteness.

    Why were anti-White, anti-Western claims meeting such mild and ineffective push-back from White scholars who knew better? The answer, for me, is that the Wokeness system was fully in place in the 1990s. Those who dissented hunkered down to avoid getting sent to a gulag by commissars of the Wokeness system.

    But Duchesne fought, in academic papers, against claims to this effect then being made. He’s made many of these easily available through his Academia-dot-edu profile. Many are specific-case studies, like his arguments against China Supremacists on China vs. Western advancements. (A part of Wokeness became to assert/assume East Asian superiority over the West until some late date, potentially as late as the 19th century!)

    Ricardo Duchesne published a popular-audience book called The Uniqueness of Western Civilization in 2011, synthesizing many of the arguments he’d been making. It was rated highly but by the late 2010s was being blacklisted and became harder to find, harder for a White person to come into contact with by happenstance.

    If Adam Smith is reading, can you find a digital copy of The Uniqueness of Western Civilization by your usual methods?

If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

    I too am highly suspicious of the claims that Einstein invented anything. Working as a patent clerk would offer lots of opportunities to steal ideas. I listen to a lot of physics lectures, and they often say that Einstein's ideas were preceded by other scientists saying similar things. Not that an Ashkenazi person is incapable of doing great things in physics, but their intelligence is highly verbally tilted, so their "contributions" are more in areas like Hollywood movies, political dogma, cultural activism, etc.

    I think the Ashkenazim chose Einstein to be a person for the Gentiles to worship, so they facilitated his theft of the physics ideas of Gentiles. I believe I read that scientists dissected Einstein's brain after his death and found nothing unique about it, such as extra neurons or better connectivity.

    Anyway, I had read the news article were it was stated that Einstein's diaries did indeed state such views about the Chinese. I can't say I can really disagree. As bad as the Ashkenazim are, I think contemporary Chinese are far worse - don't fight, don't reproduce, don't practice eugenics, don't have "a greater purpose for existence" or any "spirituality" or monumental goals, etc. Yes indeed, Einstein was right that the Chinese are "mindless automations."

    Replies: @antibeast

    That a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany could have harbored such racist and Orientalist views on the Chinese is hardly surprising given the widely accepted cultural prejudices at the time. My point in rebutting that poster is to cite Adolf Hitler as someone who did not harbor such views on the Chinese and the Japanese. I couldn’t care less about Einstein’s claim to fame based on his 1905 paper on his Theory of Special Relativity that has been criticized for plagiarism. But I question the unqualified adulation heaped on Einstein because there have been many uncelebrated Jewish scientists who have accomplished much more than him.

    Anyway, here’s another quote from the Führer:

    I don’t see much future for the Americans … it’s a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities … my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance … everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it’s half Judaised, and the other half negrified.

    I have some questions about the allegations of insider trading, as the amounts involved seem to be extremely large. If these allegations are true, this is certainly not the work of a secretary or other "minion" who heard a conversation that they shouldn't have, but has to be an organized group of well-connected people, both in the sense of close to Trump and close to people in financial markets who can arrange things for them very "discreetly".

    1. If Trump or his family were not somehow involved in this, surely they would be irate that someone is taking advantage of him and sullying his reputation, and they would be making a very visible effort to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice. In the apparent absence of this, is it conceivable that Trump, with his post-2020 disdain for any rules that apply to others is somehow involved in, or behind, the (alleged) insider trading? And if so, how could he possibly think that he could get away with it, in the sense that when (if?) the Democrats get back in power sure they would uncover the proof of this, and while he personally might escape justice (in the grave or Israeli exile) his family wouldn't?

    2. More generally, whoever did this, is it really possible in this day and age to do such things "anonymously", without leaving any trace that even the NSA would be aware of?

    ...is nothing more than an empty feel-good slogan. Americans, especially today's Americans, have far too little desire and wherewithal to do anything of consequence against our federal government no matter how badly they are treated, no matter how badly things get.

    As I see it, the only thing that'll bring large-scale revolution-level violence and bloodshed to American streets will be if the SNAP (food stamps) gets eliminated through incompetence, hyperinflation, or something else. When the welfare-lifer blacks and browns can't get their Doritos and Grape Drank at the nearby 7-11 with their magic plastic SNAP card (that our federal government tops off monthly with our tax dollars) is when the proverbial sh*t will hit the fan.

    When the free food gets cut off we'll have the George Floyd/BLM riots x 1,000: the government won't be able to stop the violence, the looting, violent attacks, and arson will spread like wild fire; that's when millions of violent, welfare-lifer, SNAP-card types (especially the hyper violent blacks) will get a taste of their own medicine. It won't be old-fashioned lynchings that'll end these folks, there won't be time. No, it'll be the business end of a gun's barrel,* not the end of a rope that'll finish them off.

    The patriotic, America-loving, types will, with firepower, quell the violence that threatens their and their families' lives in their area, but, after dealing with that violence, the last thing they'll want to do it to go after the local, state, or federal government.

    If any patriotic America-loving types respond to the SNAP riots with firepower, you can bet your sweet ass that the local, state and federal governments will come down VERY HARD – on the patriots. Look what the Feds did to peaceful J6ers and extrapolate their response exponentially. Look at the responses by the governments to the summer of Floyd – total capitulation to the mob. Contrast that to what Kyle Rittenhouse went through. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a lovely idea, it’s just that the government is not on OUR side.

    I'm talking about when local, state, and federal law enforcement is completely overwhelmed, when they can't come remotely close to stopping the spreading, let alone the containment of the violent, murderous, chimp-out of all African-American chimp outs.

    When the Saint Fentanyl (George Floyd)/BLM riots we've experienced are increased by at least a thousand fold (hunger brings out the worst in people, especially violent welfare lifers) the cops won't stand a chance against them as it's going off; law enforcement will be far more worried about protecting their own families from the violent hoards than fighting a losing battle against armed Nigs, Spics, and white welfare trash in the streets or in Walmart parking lots.


    Look what the Feds did to peaceful J6ers and extrapolate their response exponentially.
     
    It's easy to come down hard on a sixteen-hundred white grannies and other law abiding citizens as the feds did to the J6ers; feds taking on 30 or 40 million hungry, violent, armed, mostly black and brown welfare-addicted losers is an entirely different matter. If/when that SNAP-card breakdown moment arrives regular Americans will be on their own; when a murderous hoard arrives at your front door to take whatever food, or anything else of value that you've got, you'll want to have a gun and plenty of ammo on hand to fend them off.

    It all sounds so farfetched, but this scenario is possible.

    All I know is that if black, brown, or white trash wants to kill me they'll have to work for it. I'm a good shot, so, if they manage to take me out, I'll, with any luck, take a dozen or two of the SOB's out with me. Although, my bet is that when their assaults are countered with firepower, they'll move on to a much easier targets, people like the old, law-abiding grannies who supposedly tried to overthrow our government through a violence insurrection on January 6th, 2021.

    I have lived most of my 40-year life in Australia. It is the most racist and anti-Muslim colonial outpost. I have witnessed that successive Australian regimes (Labor or Liberal and the new dogs, One Nation) are owned and controlled by Nazi-orientated Jews. Australia is one of the main culprits in promoting the idea of Jews as the “master race", and Zionism is just an offshoot of Jewish supremacy that justifies the mass murder of Palestinian women and children. Hence, Jews and Israel are two faces of one coin. The Albanese regime has defended the ongoing genocide, even when the Jews are deliberately targeting Palestinian children. Despite the barbaric cultural practices and war crimes committed by Jews – including torture, sodomy, and rape of Palestinian prisoners; sexual abuse of Palestinian women and children; intentional mass murder of Palestinian children for sport; and imposed starvation of the Palestinians – among many other crimes daily, the Australian regime has defended these actions as “self-defence” and has supported Jews because they claim Jews share the same values as Western nations, including Australia. Therefore, the new "antisemitism" handbook produced by a Jew is nothing more and nothing less than an endorsement of the ongoing genocide and an endorsement of deliberate and livestreamed crimes of a sick society of a settler colony of Jews against unarmed and hapless Palestinian women and children. Australians, known to be the most obedient people on the planet, will adopt and nod their heads in agreement. Sadly, Australians, like all those who claim to be Westerners, are unaware that Jews consider all Western gentiles lower than dogs.

  • Many people seem to assume that the policies of Team Trump are set by a group of incompetent cabinet members led by Trump himself, probably mixed in with some directives from Netanyahu. This seems wildly improbable. From an alternative view, Trump is largely an actor and front man. He is enthusiastic about the policies he is promoting, but they are largely given to him by his bosses, whoever they are. His cabinet and advisors are a mixture of sidemen actors including Hegseth. Less visible people interface with the rest of the government on the actual policy details, Feinberg in the case of defense issues. In this view, Feinberg is delivering the policy (probably not creating it) while Hegseth is simply promoting it.

    From this perspective, most of the war activity against Iran is intentional including all of the “failings” of the campaign which are widely discussed. Market signals have apparently been rigged so that prices have not risen enough to reduce petroleum demand very much. This seems engineered to create a gigantic price shock. Once the last of the stored oil is gone the price will jump. Qui bono? Oil producers will like this windfall, but what will the huge price increase accomplish in terms of Team Trump policy goals? Will the economic shock allow some sort of process which allows the administration to formally declare war on Iran? Will it trigger the roll out of the US CBDC?

    The video of Trump may play better with some audiences than others. In the clip he appears to be making a principled stand that preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons is more important than any transient economic inconvenience. This is very much a war cry in my opinion and not a casual mistake.

    However, while not having enough time to read an article is a hard fact, it's not an excuse for saying that the article is bullshit.

    What this ranting individual doesn’t realize is that, white leaders are the ONLY ones doing this, nobody else worldwide is trying to replace their own people. Yet he says it’s not part of some scheme.
     
    Does he not realize that? I think he does. I think that's implicit in what he has written.

    I look at it like this. Mr. Duchesne is a historian. Like some historians, Spengler and Toynbee for example, he looks at history from a super-human vantage point. He posits abstract 'forces,' 'movements,' 'tectonic plates' (as I put it in one of my comments) as the cause of the continual flux of human events. Mark Keenan, in his The Hidden History of World II, takes the same approach.

    We as individuals are inside the 'flux.' We posit individuals and groups, the jews for example, as the 'cause' of what we see happening.

    Writers like Duchesne try to escape the flux in order to 'make sense of' human events. Do they succeed?

    Whether they succeed or not we all remain inside the flux. Spengler realized this. His response to this entrapment is embodied in the final words of his Man and Technics.

    Perhaps more important to consider is why white men are allowing themselves to be replaced — the surrender of white civilization to racial aliens from shitholes will be the greatest act of cowardice and betrayal in human history.

    A rallying cry of the American Revolution was ‘no taxation without representation’ — while today Whites have nominal representation, via the coercive tax system they are effectively enslaved by a state that is facilitating their destruction — I think Revilo Oliver was the first person I heard refer to the Revenue Act of 1913 (passed after ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment) as the ‘white slave act.’

    With demographic replacement, there will be no representation for Whites as a minority population — what I call the physical elimination phase of ‘diversity’ began some time ago: removal of monuments, renaming of streets and schools, etc — also dehumanizing Whites by labeling them ‘racist’, ‘supremacist’, and beneficiaries of unfair and unearned ‘privilege’– so non-Whites are not hiding their intentions — the menace is clear.

  • @Miro23
    The article is saying that borderless neoliberalism is highly profitable for Western elites. It combines cheap Asian manufacturing with Western sales prices = record profits.

    The “World is Flat” idea also funnels cheap labour into Western home economies to maintain profitability in low wage industries such as agro, tourism, food processing, construction, healthcare/home services etc.

    However, what’s missing in the article is an evaluation of the recent spectacular collision of the neoliberal World Order with Chinese nationalism.

    It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Under the neoliberal World Order, China was expected to remain a permanent long term source of cheap industrial labour. The model was an iphone that retails in the US for maybe $1.000 having a manufacturing cost of about $35-$50 paid to a Chinese contractor.

    Logically, when they were able, the Chinese broke out of the neoliberal cage.

    From the Western liberal/corporate elite point of view it was an unacceptable ethnic/nationalist revolt (actually anti-colonial) - while from the Chinese point of view it was only the Chinese people looking after their own interests in their own Chinese homeland.

    The whole question seems to rotate around the Homeland idea.

    Taking a related example: The size of the Pakistani immigrant population of the UK (2 million ≅ 3% of the population) is about the same size as the Pakistani immigrant population in the United Arab Emirates (1.7 million ≅ 16% of the population) but the institutional attitude of the two host society elites is entirely different.

    In the institutionally neoliberal UK, Pakistani rape gangs were active for decades abducting and attacking underage working-class English girls in towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford (Baroness Longfield Inquiry 2025). Authorities (police and social-services) were repeatedly informed but refused to act - regarding the “claims” as racially motivated while avoiding the issue through victim blaming and burying the evidence. IOW authorities knew that for the sake of their employment/careers they had to conform to the UK elite Woke ethos. Basically Pakistani rapists were free to do what they wanted with underage working class girls for Woke “social justice” reasons.

    It’s difficult but possible to imagine an equivalent situation in Dubai (UAE) involving Pakistanis and underage Emirati girls. But the assumption has to be that it would be highly unlikely. If it did happen, the men involved would clearly not be long for this world.

    Th difference is that the UAE is the ethnic homeland of the Emirati’s while the UK is not viewed (by its elite) as the national homeland of English people. English people (particularly the working-class) just happen to live there – and in fact they’re regarded as a nuisance.

    The article, probably mistakenly, looks towards an apocalyptic solution:


    … millions of non-Western immigrants and their children are already inside the West, with full legal rights, and rapidly growing political influence. Remigration would trigger enormous societal, legal, and political crises, such as court challenges, media hysteria, accusations of “ethnic cleansing,” civil unrest, and massive short-term economic disruption. Demographically, the replacement has reached a point in which a future nonwhite majority has already been born.
     
    A less conflictive route would be for the UK to adopt a conventional nationalist profile, in fact the same as most countries around the world. In other words, 1) the freaky neoliberal elite is replaced by a conventional political nationalist elite and 2) the status of ethnic non-British people is legally and documentally changed from “citizen” to “long-term resident” with political rights reserved in the normal way for ethnic British people in the own homeland.

    The proposal is that Jews, Indians, Blacks, Chinese and other Europeans etc. would retain all their rights other than political (they would lose the right to vote and would not form part of the administration), providing that they were employed and paid taxes. The right to own a business, use the health service, schools etc. with no problems.

He’s also unusual for a right wing activist in that he has plenty of money. After getting arrested he’s always out in a few days + the media are always there to film the worst skinhead Nazi types that he cultivates. You can reach your own conclusions about what he’s doing.

    There are few, if any, "long chains of mutual insults" at the Sailer Substack. The entire tone is very different. One big difference: it's more of a cheerleading section, and ideas aren't discussed very much. (Remember that Substack is a social media platform. Similarly, Twitter "replies" are rarely of any value...)

    So you went to the trouble of listing notable false attributions, but failed to state explicitly what I assume is the context of Trump's statement: that he sees stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon as much more important than the current 'financial situation of Americans' caused by the war, which he also likely sees as temporary.

    I say assume because I despise Trump and cannot stand looking at him or listening to him, so I'm not going to watch the whole exchange to verify the context.

    Unfortunately, of all the reasons given for the war, preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is probably the one most likely to receive support from the general public, especially 'thank you for your service' types, who significantly outnumber Trump cultists.

    Jesus warned of false teachers and we have had them from the start. The ones like Trump's "spiritual advisor", Paula White, and others who worship the fake state of Israel are exactly what he had in mind in his warning.

  • I have this continual problem with people naming any increase in consumer costs “inflation”.

    Inflation is an increase in prices caused by an expansion of currency into the market. The inflation of the past four years is a result of the printing of dollars to send out to people in various forms to account for the decision by the government to close down the economy over Covid. Non-productive expansion of currency is the normal cause of inflation and it will always occur in a fiat-currency system.

    Increases in fuel costs and, thereby, prices, is caused by a distortion of the supply curve. The demand for oil remains the same, but the war in Iran drastically cut supplies currently and in all futures pricing. This is NOT inflation.

    What happens when a vital commodity experiences cost increases is that one portion of the market sees increases in costs and prices. The proof that it’s not inflation is that other sectors of the market see cost and price decreases. Housing sales have dropped drastically and so housing prices have taken a beating. Housing has experienced a drop in demand, because travel costs have jumped up.

    Trump caused high fuel prices. His role in inflation isn’t as much. It’s not good, but it’s not inflation.

  • @Dr. Robert Morgan
    BlackFlag: "Duchesne’s synthesis is good but it’s really a special case, an overly particularistic version of Technological Slavery as put forth by Ellul, Kaczynski."

    Yes. I wonder if Duchesne is aware of his intellectual predecessors, or if he thinks it's an original idea of his own. The fact that he doesn't cite these men or quote them could mean he doesn't know about them. Sometimes there are periods in history when certain ideas are just "in the air".

    BlackFlag: "The Tech system instrumentalizes the ideology of liberalism. Capitalism is merely one of the tools of the Tech system."

    Right, but I think it's more precise to say that liberalism and capitalism are themselves techniques, and therefore also essential parts of the technological system. Religion, and especially the Christian religion, is too. This is an idea not found, as far as I'm aware, in either Ellul or Kaczynski's writings.

    BlackFlag: "Duchesne exaggerates the psychological and cultural distinctness of Europeans."

    That's really the most original part of his thesis though. Certainly it's something neither Ellul nor Kaczynski ever mentioned. But it could help explain how it was whites who almost single-handedly invented the current system, and who helped the system along to its current place of dominance in world affairs.

    Blackflag: "The contradiction won’t be realized cause 1) the migrants will also be ground down; the system is too powerful; 2)the subset of migrants are also WEIRD (to the extent that matters) even if they come from non-WEIRD populations. "

    Yes, that's what I too think will happen -- at least to the extent it will be needed to stabilize the system before humans themselves are discarded by it as obsolete. Kevin MacDonald has made a career out of claiming, among other things, that mass immigration into white lands is a symptom of decreased white "civilizational confidence" caused by Jews, whereas I have been pointing out for quite a while that just the reverse is true. Whites are so confident in the power of the technological system they've constructed that they are certain that it will be able to assimilate any race. In fact, whites love the technological system even more than their own racial existence. They're prepared to sacrifice themselves in order to save the system.

    Replies: @Ricardo Duchesne

    Since I don’t make the argument that “The Tech system instrumentalizes the ideology of liberalism [and that] Capitalism is merely one of the tools of the Tech system,” I don’t need to cite Ellul or anyone else who attribute everything to technology. I read him years ago, in the early 1980s.

    My idea can’t be found in the writings of technological determinists. Their arguments can’t account for China’s case, or Japan’s, and they don’t say a word about the key question I am asking, reread title of the essay, to start with.

    For some reason or the other the mainstream media and government officials never but never mention the obvious immigration connection when pontificating on the housing affordability issue.

    Without a doubt the housing issue is a major driver of the low fertility ratios which the political establishment in those nations fret so hard about.

    Yes, immigrants contribute mightily to the housing shortage. That at least partially explains why every medium-sized city and even smallish towns are slapping up high-density housing on every vacant lot they can scrounge. (It is also partially in preparation for the great planned forced migration to “smart cities.”)

    The high-density housing boom is just blowing my mind, but everyone I mention it to just shrugs like that’s the way it should be. Oh, and they don’t want to talk about it or think about it either.

  • I have some questions about the allegations of insider trading, as the amounts involved seem to be extremely large. If these allegations are true, this is certainly not the work of a secretary or other “minion” who heard a conversation that they shouldn’t have, but has to be an organized group of well-connected people, both in the sense of close to Trump and close to people in financial markets who can arrange things for them very “discreetly”.

    1. If Trump or his family were not somehow involved in this, surely they would be irate that someone is taking advantage of him and sullying his reputation, and they would be making a very visible effort to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice. In the apparent absence of this, is it conceivable that Trump, with his post-2020 disdain for any rules that apply to others is somehow involved in, or behind, the (alleged) insider trading? And if so, how could he possibly think that he could get away with it, in the sense that when (if?) the Democrats get back in power sure they would uncover the proof of this, and while he personally might escape justice (in the grave or Israeli exile) his family wouldn’t?

    2. More generally, whoever did this, is it really possible in this day and age to do such things “anonymously”, without leaving any trace that even the NSA would be aware of?

  • @Dixiecrat
    Flaig's book is, no doubt, full of interesting facts. His comments about the Confederacy "declaring war" on the North and that the war was "caused by slavery, i.e., the North invaded the South on an altruistic mission to free the black slaves, cast a cloud on his seriousness as a scholar. The South did not "declare war" on the North. The Southern states formed the Confederacy in an attempt to leave the former union called the United States. They had no intention of overthrowing the existing Federal government or invading the North. They wanted OUT of a union which they correctly believed would slowly turn the South into a powerless colony of Northern industrial interests. Lincoln and men around him cynically maneuvered the South into firing the first shot...in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina and after giving the Lincoln government ample time to allow the South to peacefully separate. Lincoln was determined to keep the South in the union by force, something the men who wrote and ratified the Constitution would have regarded with horror (as they would have regarded with horror the chain of events that led to it). Slavery had existed in the American British colonies (and those of all other European nations) from virtually the beginning. The idea that Northern white men, in a fit of moral indignation, rolled out of bed one morning determined to fight and die to free Southern slaves is simply absurd. Almost all Northerners fought - initially - to defend what they saw as an insult to the flag; they had never accepted that the South was serious about leaving the union. The ugly truth is that Northern financial interests had coldly calculated that if slavery was done away with, it would leave the former ruling class of the South bankrupt and powerless to oppose projects that benefited only Northern financial and industrial interests. Old Black Joe would still be picking cotton for Northern mills and to finance the Federal government and its "internal improvements" with tariff money. They shrewdly used crackpot fanatics in the Abolition movement to prevent a gradual, negotiated, and c0mpensated end to slavery and drive the South into a rage by stunts such as John Brown's raid. In the end, the North intended to help finance its own development with the agricultural production of the South, just as Stalin did with Ukrainian grain. The gloss of moral superiority gained by "freeing the slaves" was a bonus used to this day to disguise the truth about the war.

    Great article by Professor Ricardo Duchesne, of Canada:

    "Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population"


    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is [...]
     


    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    Assuming they are adding value, that has to be credited against their inevitable subtraction (consumption is subtraction, and everyone is a consumer, whether or not they are a producer).
     
    I agree with this. In an ideal free market, workers are paid what they are "worth", which should also be equal to the value they add. So in the free market everyone on average kind of nets to zero -- they consume what they produce and leave mostly nothing for the rest of society.

    (Incidentally, this is one reason we shouldn't necessarily worship the idea of importing high income people -- they earn more, but if they just spend it on their own consumption they still net to zero contribution to others. Same as a guy who lives off minimum wage).

    Of course we don't have a pure free market and people also add and subtract all kinds of positive and negative "externalities" -- taxes paid, crimes committed (both violent and financial), cultures changed. Etc.

    I suppose I am assuming my own hypothesis, as any good hypothesizer should do!

     

    Fair enough. But you shouldn't also use that assumption as proof of the original hypothesis. E.g., "If immigration didn't lower the ratio of wages to capital in GDP, then the ratio wouldn't have gone down, but it did go down, so . . ."

    Your point, though, is that I didn’t address capital changes, which is true. I didn’t address it because long term returns on capital haven’t changed much.
     
    If the ROI of capital stayed the same but the percentage of GDP earned by capital is up, that would seemingly imply that there is just more capital per worker now. (Capital per capita, one might say). If true, that would be a non-wage rate and non-immigration explanation.

    Btw, I recall that some French economist named Picketty was all the rage among lefty pseudo-intellectuals maybe 10-15 years ago because he wrote a tome that purported to explain why Capital would inevitably multiply faster than labor and therefore take over all the wealth. No one actually read his book and the Cliff Notes version of his thesis made no sense to me. (It was based on something superficial, like that compound interest from investing necessarily grows faster than productivity gains of labor). But people acted like it was important at the time. If you end up doing a deep dive on the Capital vs. Labor issue you might check him out to see how his theory aged.

    Finally, we had a discussion on GDP accounting awhile ago and one of the things I realized is that it is kind of arbitrary and seemed (to me) to basically double count the economic value of investment (counting it once when created and then again over time as it produces a return). A secular change in Wage/Capital components of GDP could be partly rooted in nothing more than a flawed GDP accounting method.

    So in the free market everyone on average kind of nets to zero — they consume what they produce and leave mostly nothing for the rest of society.

    Not sure how you get this. Some people are very productive, producing far more than they consume. Others are highly unproductive or even counterproductive. Noticers™ may or may not associate groups with these tendencies.

    Incidentally, this is one reason we shouldn’t necessarily worship the idea of importing high income people — they earn more, but if they just spend it on their own consumption they still net to zero contribution to others.

    I agree we shouldn’t automatically want to import high income people, but the reason isn’t that everyone “nets to zero”.

    we don’t have a pure free market and people also add and subtract all kinds of positive and negative “externalities” — taxes paid, crimes committed (both violent and financial), cultures changed.

    From the point of view of society as a whole, taxes and crimes aren’t externalities, they’re internalities, but I suppose if we were buying and selling visas in a free market, taxes and crimes would be externalities.

    you shouldn’t also use that assumption as proof of the original hypothesis. E.g., “If immigration didn’t lower the ratio of wages to capital in GDP, then the ratio wouldn’t have gone down, but it did go down, so . . .”

    But I didn’t assume that wage share went down, that was a documented fact.

    If the ROI of capital stayed the same but the percentage of GDP earned by capital is up, that would seemingly imply that there is just more capital per worker now.

    Well, specifically that there is more capital gaining profits from workers than before, perhaps capital from abroad, or maybe it’s just a result of Fed money printing. But either way the bottom line is that workers’ labor does not command the benefits that it used to.

    “Capital deepening” could be an alternative explanation, but workers can still reap the benefit of capital deepening rather than the capital owners, but the stats show the opposite happening: workers are getting screwed despite there being more of them. The parsimonious explanation is that workers are in a weaker position from being flooded by foreign competition.

    some French economist named Picketty

    His argument, per Wiki, is that “the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future.”

    I would add that if true, it should already have caused inequality to increase in the past, but neither half of his theory seems to have been true for the US before 1970.

    we had a discussion on GDP accounting awhile ago

    Yes, we did.

    one of the things I realized is that it is kind of arbitrary and seemed (to me) to basically double count the economic value of investment (counting it once when created and then again over time as it produces a return)

    I concurred it’s “arbitrary” in the sense that it can conflate activity with production, but I had the impression you wanted a bigger indictment. I disagreed about “double counting investment”, for the reasons I gave in the previous discussion.

    A secular change in Wage/Capital components of GDP could be partly rooted in nothing more than a flawed GDP accounting method.

    That’s might be a reasonable point, but since IMHO the “flawed GDP accounting method” is the GDP’s conflation of activity with production, while the wage share of GDP is simply paychecks, the bottom line is still that paychecks are shrinking irrespective of whether anyone is productive or merely active. And immigration remains the parsimonious explanation.

    Great article by Professor Ricardo Duchesne, of Canada:

    "Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population"


    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is [...]
     


    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [....]

    Earlier, I read as much as I could, Mr. Hail, maybe 50%, and then went to comments. Per a commenter’s short bio on the politics of Mr. Duchesne (and no denial from the author who did write in to correct someone on his ethnic background), I really like, even admire, the guy for his stance and courage. (He’s in Canada, so yeah…)

    However, NO people or even political, racial/ethnic groups are discussed. It’s as if his recipe of ideologies just up and did the Population Replacement Programme. I get that his thesis is that this Fordism/post-Fordism whatever, just plain resulted in the implementation and support for mass immigration.

    I don’t agree. There have been specific people involved that could have been stopped. One could point to a handful or a dozen points in time at which, if some plan or policy was stopped, the PRP would not have gone any farther. People are responsible, not just vague synergetic ideologies. Some just think alike without a specific plan, perhaps a product of those ideologies, and others surely had a plan.

    [Ricardo Duchesne] seems like a good guy
     
    Here's what I know about Ricardo Duchesne's career:

    Starting in about the early-2000s, he authored many papers, essays, academic articles, and monographs pushing back against the anti-White tenor of the times.

    By the 1990s, the trend in academia and more broadly had shifted towards: There's really nothing unique or interesting about Western Civilization or White people, except some negative things like the cruel system of slavery they ran, or the gas chambers they used against God's Chosen Ethnic Group. But there are no unique accomplishments or anything; and we can and should prove this, deconstruct Whiteness.

    Why were anti-White, anti-Western claims meeting such mild and ineffective push-back from White scholars who knew better? The answer, for me, is that the Wokeness system was fully in place in the 1990s. Those who dissented hunkered down to avoid getting sent to a gulag by commissars of the Wokeness system.

    But Duchesne fought, in academic papers, against claims to this effect then being made. He's made many of these easily available through his Academia-dot-edu profile. Many are specific-case studies, like his arguments against China Supremacists on China vs. Western advancements. (A part of Wokeness became to assert/assume East Asian superiority over the West until some late date, potentially as late as the 19th century!)

    Ricardo Duchesne published a popular-audience book called The Uniqueness of Western Civilization in 2011, synthesizing many of the arguments he'd been making. It was rated highly but by the late 2010s was being blacklisted and became harder to find, harder for a White person to come into contact with by happenstance.

    If Adam Smith is reading, can you find a digital copy of The Uniqueness of Western Civilization by your usual methods?

    trump and yahu have totally failed in their attempt to impose their will upon the world. the reason trump laid no ground work for his meaningless trip to china, is because his whole plan was to shut off the venezuelan oil spigot to china and then sneak attack iran, israeli style, kill their leaders and command structure, replace them with compliant stooges within iran and turn off their spigot to china.

    both trump and yahu thought they could convince the arab nations in the gulf to join in on the attack and pummel the life out of iran. their arab golem in the u.a.e. was supposed to rally the other arab nations, leading to a coalition, that could then be sold on the abrahamic accords, while defiant middle eastern nations were crushed beneath their boot.

    pakistan played a pivotal role in ensuring this did not happen and their new mutual defense treaty with the saudis, is forming the basis of a new security alliance in the region. the u.a.e. has been exposed as the shiftless golems and servants of zionist jewish supremacism that they are. so the u.s. and israel gained a useless pawn, while iran has cleaned up the board and is now emerging as the new power in the region.

    the u.s. and israel have clearly demonstrated that they don't give a shit about any of their regional clients, except for israel and they don't care about the world economy or even their own economies, with trump openly stating he doesn't care what americans think. in fact both of them don't really care about anything other than staying out of jail.

    this is why trump had nothing when he went to china, his plan was to enter as the grand hegemon and that the chinese would kowtow to him, as he would control most of the world oil and gas supplies. all of his ground work, sank into the quicksand pit of the middle east, he's got nothing and he got nothing from the chinese, except for a warning to stay out of the affairs of taiwan and china.

    if he restarts the war with iran, the iranians have warned him they would respond with unseen weapons and the irgc has told them all their ships are targeted and they are locked and loaded. the russians have successfully tested their new sarmat missile and they are locked and loaded as well. things are changing rapidly. unfortunately trump and yahu never change and they never learn from the numerous mistakes.

    Iran “won.”
     

    What did Iran win? A timeout until the next attack and likely, their total decimation.
     
    Exactly! Totally agree.

    I could be wrong, but it seems that Iran showed some major advantage during this conflict and was doing very well, as US underestimated them based on Iran's spinless and half-hearted responses from last year and earlier, and did not expect them to have such effective weapons.

    However, it seems that Iran has now stopped fighting pretty much completely. They may react here and there, but without going too far.

    Why? I believe that they were threatened with nukes if they do not stop firing missiles and that threat scared them and made them stop.

    Currently, US/Israel are finishing the rest (Lebanon, etc.) with Iran watching from the sidelines doing nothing, while at the same time preparing their come back to tackle Iran again once Iran is completely alone. So it will be rinse and repeat: Step 1: attack Iran, Step 2: If Iran gets any kind of advantage, threaten to nuke, Iran stops fighting, then recoup, reorg and go to Step 1.

    Ultimately Iran's defeat and occupation/colonization is now only a matter of time.

    P.S. I guess the "glory" days when Iran was a partner of US/NATO are over and chickens have come home to roost? What am I talking about? Well, Iran never had any problems with NATO murdering people for as long it's not Muslims and for as long as it's in the interest of Jihad/Islam. E.g. Iran has supported NATO's attack on Orthodox Christian Serbia in 1999. Even Iran's general Qasem Soleimani was in Bosnia in the 90s helping NATO and Jihad/Islam separatists (Bosnian Muslims aka Bosniaks) against the Serbs! Iran also fully supports Srebrenica Lie that was 100% invented by Britain. How times have changed and how Muslim World will never change and never learn. To them, NATO lying about and killing non-Muslims good, especially if useful for Jihad, NATO lying about and killing Muslims bad!

    The only Muslim countries that didn’t support the Bosnians against the Serbs were Gaddafi’s Libya and Saddam’s Iraq. Possibly also Syria. There could have been individual jihadis from these countries fighting for the Bosnians but they were enemies of their own governments.

    If you check back you will find that thousands of Serbs fought on the side of the Bosnians, especially in defence of Sarajevo during the siege.

    I don’t have time to read long winded bullshit.
     
    I sympathise. As 'the Preacher' said long ago (I paraphrase), "The more words, the more foolishness." And as I have said, "If a philosophy can't be stated in a single sentence, or at most in two or three sentences, it's not a philosophy."

    However, while not having enough time to read an article is a hard fact, it's not an excuse for saying that the article is bullshit.

    What this ranting individual doesn’t realize is that, white leaders are the ONLY ones doing this, nobody else worldwide is trying to replace their own people. Yet he says it’s not part of some scheme.
     
    Does he not realize that? I think he does. I think that's implicit in what he has written.

    I look at it like this. Mr. Duchesne is a historian. Like some historians, Spengler and Toynbee for example, he looks at history from a super-human vantage point. He posits abstract 'forces,' 'movements,' 'tectonic plates' (as I put it in one of my comments) as the cause of the continual flux of human events. Mark Keenan, in his The Hidden History of World II, takes the same approach.

    We as individuals are inside the 'flux.' We posit individuals and groups, the jews for example, as the 'cause' of what we see happening.

    Writers like Duchesne try to escape the flux in order to 'make sense of' human events. Do they succeed?

    Whether they succeed or not we all remain inside the flux. Spengler realized this. His response to this entrapment is embodied in the final words of his Man and Technics.

    Replies: @BrooLidd, @Ricardo Duchesne, @NobodyImportant

    The sense of being trapped inside the ‘flux,’ inside history… Spengler, obviously, is not the only individual to have felt it. Here is the most famous expression of that entrapment:

    As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport.

    Duchesne might be construed as saying:

    As flies are we to liberal universalism and capitalist optimization. They kill us for their sport.

    Schiller was a contrarian. He expressed his opposition to the notion of being trapped inside history in one of his plays, Die Räuber or Wallenstein

    Sailer commenter Bill P on Christopher Nolan's multiracial Odyssey movie (July 2026):

    Bill Price
    May 17, 2026

    It looks as though Nolan's Odyssey will flop because it isn't some niche production for high-brow liberals like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” which succeeded largely because of rather than in spite of the racial expropriation of traditional heroes.

    Casting a dark black Kenyan as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as an Achaean warrior isn't going to create mass appeal, as much as it might excite postmodern academics. Just the black Helen alone is probably enough to turn off a large fraction of potential viewers, but the trans angle is really too much of a stretch.

    I've got to wonder what he was thinking:
     


    Some think he's trying to get an award, but he's an artist, so you'd think that isn't his highest priority.

    However, I'll bet an academy award is a very high priority for his producer, who happens to be his wife Emma Thomas.

    Apparently Mrs. (Ms.?) Thomas handles pretty much all of Nolan's publicity, social life and much else. She's a “dame” - feminine titular equivalent of “sir” in the UK - and lives with her husband in LA.

    I don't know for certain who pushed these casting decisions, but I strongly suspect it was Dame Emma Thomas, Lady Nolan.
     

    Comments:

    MLisa

    I’ve heard that Helen of Troy and Achaean are only small parts because The Odyssey is about a different set of characters in mythology (Odysses and Telemachus). The Iliad is about Helen and Achaean. Not sure if that’s true?

    The problem is that no matter how minor the role, casting an African as “most beautiful woman” in a foundational Western epic is making a very big statement.

    It will be a flop because people who read books are tired of film adaptations disregarding the source material. See this year’s Animal Farm abomination.

  • By far this is the best article I have read by Ron Unz ever. It doesn’t resort to a knee jerk “orange man bad” derangement but looks at the record. The only issue I have some doubts over is the hidden facets of the Iran War. According to independent world affairs analyst Joaquin Flores, the Iran War is not what the media reports it to be. First, Iran has suffered no mortalities of its soldiers as yet from the missile attacks (yes there has been civilian mortalities). Concomitantly, the US military has suffered only 7 mortalities (based on last week’s data) in a freak overspill from Iranian missile attack on an airbase in Saudi Arabia. There are many more US casualties but they are being treated in Germany.

    More importantly, Iran is selling crude oil using Tether bitcoin exclusively brokered by the financial firm of Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s son out of a brokerage house in El Salvador (offshored to avoid attention). Tether is backed by US Treasury Bills. This means that Iran is apparently cooperating with the US to manufacture a price bubble in oil by inhibiting oil supply. So, China is buying crude oil in Tether brokered by the Lutnick firm. Put differently, the US debt (and dollar) is being underwritten by the Iran War in an apparent cooperative scheme by the two so-called adversaries. The Petro dollar is being replaced by Tether.

    I am suspicious of unrecognized government price bubbles based on my experience in working behind the curtain of official disinformation during the California Energy Crisis of 2001. A price bubble in wholesale electricity prices was created by restricting supply. The premium from the price was to be used to pay off some $12 billion in stranded bond indebtedness on 19 coastal power plants that were converted to natural gas fuel from high polluting diesel fuel and then mothballed. But the Democrat Party enacted price controls on the retail price of electricity, destroying the bubble. Eventually, the $12 billion was rolled into a jumbo municipal bond issued by the California Department of Water to be paid off by a bubble created in wholesale water prices from buying electricity to pump water from Northern to Southern California. This water price bubble was created by a Court in a rigged court decision which declared an official drought in the Sacramento River system to protect a putative endangered fish.

    So, water rate payers mainly in Southern California paid off the $12 billion debt accrued by regulated private stock held electric companies (Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric and San Diego Gas and Electric which has gone bankrupt). This entire scheme was to protect the legislature from being thrown out of office in a Howard Jarvis like tax revolt. As I summed the energy crisis up in the title of an article I wrote: California Was Reducing Smoggy Skies Not Lacking Energy. The entire scheme was to meet Federal Clean Air Act mandates to clean up the smog traps by 2001 or lose federal funds for schools and roads. Hollywood produced predictive programming by issuing the film “The Perfect Storm” about how things like energy crises just happen accidentally.

    Niccolo Machiavelli said 500 years ago that it sometimes was better to commit fraud than lose lives in a war – it was the lesser evil (see his play The Mandrake Root). But lesser evils often had to be kept secret. But, is the (bogus) Iran War a lesser evil? There was a saying in California politics that the “tax payers wanted wetlands and bucolic open space (and fictional endangered fish) preserved but did not want to pay for it”. The taxpayers believed it was the duty of socialized government to preserve the environment and pay for such luxury public goods without raising taxes. I throw this out there for commenters opinions because I don’t presume to have all the answers.

    Some people believe many of the big "public crises" are at least partially staged. What are the chances that oil shipments flowing through the strait are actually much greater than discussed in the public information, partially explaining the nonintuitive oil price behavior? This would require some extensive fakery and censorship, but those processes may now be at the highest level in history.

    The Massie primary is Tuesday, May 19. The results should be known 36hrs from now.

    Polymarket long had Thomas Massie at about 70% to win.

    Then, on May 13, there was a sudden drop followed by tumultuous movements over the next few days. Now it's been at 55-60% for Massie to LOSE (past 36 hours).

    Trump is, as usual, drumming up low-info supporters to vote for his yes-man. The Trump people want to dump low-info bodies on the primary and get his yes-man in. Maybe they'll succeed. If so, it's a mark against all of us.

    The fact that the NYT is backing Massie should cause everyone with common sense to back away: (1)

    An op-ed in the New York Times on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) this week, He’s One of a Dying Breed in Congress. America Needs Him Now More Than Ever, could not have been any more sycophantic.

    The Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. That means they loved the likes of Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter twice, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden twice. But since Thomas Massie is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, he’s getting the kind of special treatment other anti-Trump Republicans from Marjorie Taylor Greene to George Conway to Mitt Romney have received.

    High information Kentucky voters know that Massie has willingly given aide and comfort to DNC enemies of American workers:

    Take Massie’s vote on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed by a single vote in the House in 2025 thanks to him and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Massie shot it down because it didn’t cut spending enough to his liking. Here’s the problem: Without certain programs in it (such as SALT reductions), the bill doesn’t pass because moderates had promised to reject it. You have to give a little to get a little. If the bill didn’t pass, as Massie desired, the result would have been a huge win for Democrats and a huge tax increase on people.

    But for Massie, the possible consequences of his actions (and lack thereof) aren’t the point. It’s all about fundraising and retaining power.

    Good news is that MAGA has done a good job getting intelligent voters to the polls. We saw this with the recent Indiana vote. And, just a few days ago when a RINO incumbent was defeated in the Louisiana Senate primary. Hopefully the America First contingent will unseat the failure that is Massie.

    Will poorly informed, low-IQ yahoos push Massie across the line? It’s possible. If it happens, it will be a tragedy for America.

    There is a paradox with Massie. I've heard him talking, and I've thought, "sounds like a reasonable guy", but then when checking his voting record, he votes against Republican bills (could be excusable since a lot of them are kinda dumb), but then he votes for Democrat bills that are objectively worse, so it's not that he opposes all bills beyond a principled threshold. It looks more like virtue signaling: sniffing that Trump's budget isn't pure enough for him, but backing Biden's far more impure budget because ... reasons.

    The suspicion of course, which the media will do everything to inflate in the event of a Massie loss, is that Trump is taking revenge for the Epstein Transparency Act, even though practically everyone implicated by the Epstein files is a Democrat.

    Great article by Professor Ricardo Duchesne, of Canada:

    Why the West Is Replacing Its White Population

    The Great Replacement is now almost locked in.

    This is not because of a grand conspiracy, a secret “Kalergi Plan,” a deliberate plot by elites to destroy the West through “bio-Leninism,” an attempt to import a new electorate, or any single “demonic” scheme. Nor is it simply the result of excessive “suicidal empathy” or conservative elites refusing to accept race realism or the critique of the equality thesis.

    My thesis is […]

    [MORE]

    My thesis is that the large-scale demographic replacement of White European populations is the logical and nearly inevitable outcome of the fusion between (i) liberal universalism, which delegitimizes ethnic particularism and prohibits state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value pluralism, and (ii) post-Fordist (including limbic) capitalist optimization, which demands flexible, low-cost, compliant non-Western labor, expanding global markets, and short-to-medium-term gains. Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies. This system exploits the historically peculiar “WEIRD” psychology of Whites (low ethnocentrism, impersonal trust, impartiality) while empowering groups operating on kin-selection and ethnic nepotism, transitioning from a Fordist order that broadly benefited native populations to a post-Fordist multicultural regime that undermines its own foundations.

    The West is both a capitalist and a liberal civilization. This economic system and this ideology developed together and are now fused into a single, self-reinforcing system. In the Fordist phase (roughly 1945–1975), this fusion largely benefited native White populations, delivering broad-based affluence, rising real wages, high homeownership, and stable family-oriented communities within relatively homogeneous nations still anchored by pre-liberal norms. However, the crisis of Fordism in the 1970s activated a transition to a post-Fordist multicultural and limbic capitalist regime. In this new order, liberalism’s universalistic drive and capitalism’s optimizing logic reinforce each other: the former delegitimizes ethnic particularism and cultural continuity, while the latter demands flexible, low-cost non-Western labor to deal with structural shortages. The system thus favors both diversity as a moral good and certain immigrant personality traits that optimize post-Fordist production. Yet this regime harbors a deep structural contradiction: it rests upon the historically peculiar “weird” psychology of European peoples, including low ethnocentrism, high impersonal trust, and impartiality, while empowering non-Western groups that operate according to particularistic kin-selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a system that is biologically and culturally incompatible with the long-term survival and civilizational creativity of European peoples in their homelands. [….]

Per a commenter's short bio on the politics of Mr. Duchesne (and no denial from the author who did write in to correct someone on his ethnic background), I really like, even admire, the guy for his stance and courage. (He's in Canada, so yeah...)

    However, NO people or even political, racial/ethnic groups are discussed. It's as if his recipe of ideologies just up and did the Population Replacement Programme. I get that his thesis is that this Fordism/post-Fordism whatever, just plain resulted in the implementation and support for mass immigration.

    I don't agree. There have been specific people involved that could have been stopped. One could point to a handful or a dozen points in time at which, if some plan or policy was stopped, the PRP would not have gone any farther. People are responsible, not just vague synergetic ideologies. Some just think alike without a specific plan, perhaps a product of those ideologies, and others surely had a plan.

    To be fair, he is emphasizing the commercial profit motive more than the strawmen explanations he opposes, but that's hardly a novel or obscure explanation. Why, I've cited the commercial motivation years ago in these very pages, complete with detailed financial analysis.

    OTOH, his restatement ("prohibit[ed] state preference for one culture in favor of diversity and value[s] pluralism") doesn't really capture what's happening, which is to say, he's inaccurate. The state, and its many organs and appendages, massively do have a culture preference and selectively penalize "pluralism" to ensure that their preference wins. The fact that the state and its appendages lie about what they do while they do it not only does not mitigate it, but also implies that a malign scienter is at work, as LITFLOM discerned.

    Katrinka — yes, I agree with you that Trump is truly despicable. But I also think he really is not different from Biden, Obama, Bush I & II, Reagan, and all the rest.

    I really do believe that the CIA/Israeli assassination of JFK in 1963 was a “coup d’etat” or a regime change and the US government has since then fallen under the control of the CIA — created and run by Wall Street bankers and lawyers. They actually and literally hate the middle class and working class. 1963 was the turning point.

    This is just a short passage from Orewll’s 1984. He understood where we are in the post-industrial world.

    From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but by a sort of automatic process— by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute— the machine did raise the living standards of the average human being very greatly over a period of about fifty years at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries.

    But it was also clear that an all-round increase in wealth threatened the destruction— indeed, in some sense was the destruction— of a hierarchical society. In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction. It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which WEALTH, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while POWER remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realize that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance. . . .

    The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labour power without producing anything that can be consumed. A Floating Fortress, for example, has locked up in it the labour that would build several hundred cargo-ships. Ultimately it is scrapped as obsolete, never having brought any material benefit to anybody, and with further enormous labours another Floating Fortress is built. In principle the war effort is always so planned as to eat up any surplus that might exist after meeting the bare needs of the population. In practice the needs of the population are always underestimated, with the result that there is a chronic shortage of half the necessities of life; but this is looked on as an advantage. It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.

    None of this is Trump’s policy. He is an ego driven idiot, and a useful idiot at that, since he is good at wasting the wealth created by the working class. This is the policy of the real “rulers” of the US and Europe — the global banks and billionaires who know what it takes to rule over the masses.

    The PRC WAS a hellhole during those times. It is NOT a hellhole today. These Chinese people are talking about a period during THOSE times when it WAS a hellhole. Using your own personal experience NOW to project to a period six decades earlier is the height of stupidity. Are you that stupid?

Growing up, my parents talked a lot about the Great Leap Forward and the famine, the Cultural Revolution,..etc. They have relatives there with firsthand experience. They don't know English and can't be swayed by the Western media. These are actual anecdotes told by my parents. Two of my relatives committed suicide during the Cultural Revolution.

    According to the CCP, the famine was partly due to drought. Yet according to what you show in Google AI, not only was there no drought, but there was actually too much rainfall, causing flooding. This shows that the CCP's blaming the famine on drought is a total lie.

    Does he not realize that? I think he does. I think that’s implicit in what he has written.

    I look at it like this. Mr. Duchesne is a historian. Like some historians, Spengler and Toynbee for example, he looks at history from a super-human vantage point. He posits abstract ‘forces,’ ‘movements,’ ‘tectonic plates’ (as I put it in one of my comments) as the cause of the continual flux of human events. Mark Keenan, in his The Hidden History of World II, takes the same approach.

    We as individuals are inside the ‘flux.’ We posit individuals and groups, the jews for example, as the ’cause’ of what we see happening.

    Writers like Duchesne try to escape the flux in order to ‘make sense of’ human events. Do they succeed?

    Whether they succeed or not we all remain inside the flux. Spengler realized this. His response to this entrapment is embodied in the final words of his Man and Technics.

    Duchesne might be construed as saying:

They meant that military mistakes were made that allowed Red army to more easily occupy certain areas like Berlin.”

    My response: Gen. Patton thought the Allied leaders intentionally adopted policies that prevented him from taking over Eastern Europe. He based this conclusion on more than military mistakes such as the Allied leaders preventing him from encircling the Germans at Falaise, France.

    For example, by Aug. 31, 1944, Patton had put Falaise behind and quickly advanced his tanks to the Meuse River, only 63 miles from the German border and 140 miles from the Rhine River. The German army Patton was chasing was disorganized and in disarray; nothing could stop Patton from roaring into Germany. However, on August 31, the Third Army’s gasoline allotment was suddenly cut by 140,000 gallons per day. This was a huge chunk of the 350,000 to 400,000 gallons per day the Third Army had been consuming. Patton’s advance was halted even though the way ahead was open and largely undefended by the German army in retreat. (Source: Wilcox, Robert K., Target: Patton, Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2008, pp. 290-292).

    Patton did not think this was a military mistake; instead, he thought Allied leaders were intentionally preventing him from taking over Eastern Europe.

    Sailer commenter Bill P on Christopher Nolan's multiracial Odyssey movie (July 2026):

    Bill Price
    May 17, 2026

    It looks as though Nolan's Odyssey will flop because it isn't some niche production for high-brow liberals like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” which succeeded largely because of rather than in spite of the racial expropriation of traditional heroes.

    Casting a dark black Kenyan as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as an Achaean warrior isn't going to create mass appeal, as much as it might excite postmodern academics. Just the black Helen alone is probably enough to turn off a large fraction of potential viewers, but the trans angle is really too much of a stretch.

    I've got to wonder what he was thinking:
     


    Some think he's trying to get an award, but he's an artist, so you'd think that isn't his highest priority.

    However, I'll bet an academy award is a very high priority for his producer, who happens to be his wife Emma Thomas.

    Apparently Mrs. (Ms.?) Thomas handles pretty much all of Nolan's publicity, social life and much else. She's a “dame” - feminine titular equivalent of “sir” in the UK - and lives with her husband in LA.

    I don't know for certain who pushed these casting decisions, but I strongly suspect it was Dame Emma Thomas, Lady Nolan.
     

    Comments:

    MLisa

    I’ve heard that Helen of Troy and Achaean are only small parts because The Odyssey is about a different set of characters in mythology (Odysses and Telemachus). The Iliad is about Helen and Achaean. Not sure if that’s true?
     


    Bill Price

    The problem is that no matter how minor the role, casting an African as “most beautiful woman” in a foundational Western epic is making a very big statement.

    It will be a flop because people who read books are tired of film adaptations disregarding the source material. See this year’s Animal Farm abomination.

    Oppenheimer was properly cast and successful.

    The number of problems keeps growing.

    -2- Helen of deTroyt
    -3- Zendaya as Athena
    -4- Travis Scott — Because rap is period accurate(?)
    -5- The score will not feature an orchestra — Because that would be period inaccurate
    -6- Costumes/Armor are not period accurate
    -7- Giants that are not gigantic
    -8- The script is based on a modern feminist translation by Emily Wilson. Will the phrase “Daddy Issues” be used in the film?

    At least some of this is likely being forced by the project’s financial backers. Is Nolan intentionally going too far in order to tank the movie?

    Perhaps some adaptation could have worked:

    • True period armor would look poor on screen, but why not stick with polished bronze? The “Batman” helmet is being mocked.
    • Nolan could have got away with casting Zendaya. That made it easier to obtain Tom Holland for a major role. And, a goddess with bored contempt for humanity is in her acting range.

    But there are too many issues. It’s going to be immersion breaking, which is a disaster for epic storytelling.
    ____

    Will The Odyssey make money?

    Hard to say. There are a huge number of committed Nolan followers who will go. And, it’s going to look spectacular. IMAX screens for the opening sold out months ago. It’s going to pull in significant box office revenue even if it is bad.

    Does anyone happen to know the production budget?

    And, from that article, this little gem:

    Now Trump is gunning for revenge. He has branded Massie a “lowlife”, “moron” and “weak and pathetic”, and even mocked him for remarrying 16 months after the sudden death of his wife of more than 30 years. He told a rally in the district in March: “We’ve got to get rid of this loser. This guy is bad. He’s disloyal to the Republican party. He’s disloyal to the people of Kentucky, and most importantly, he is disloyal to the United States of America. And he’s got to be voted out of office as soon as possible.”

    The Massie primary is Tuesday, May 19. The results should be known 36hrs from now.

    Polymarket long had Thomas Massie at about 70% to win.

    Then, on May 13, there was a sudden drop followed by tumultuous movements over the next few days. Now it’s been at 55-60% for Massie to LOSE (past 36 hours).

    Trump is, as usual, drumming up low-info supporters to vote for his yes-man. The Trump people want to dump low-info bodies on the primary and get his yes-man in. Maybe they’ll succeed. If so, it’s a mark against all of us.

    The fact that the NYT is backing Massie should cause everyone with common sense to back away: (1)


    An op-ed in the New York Times on Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) this week, He’s One of a Dying Breed in Congress. America Needs Him Now More Than Ever, could not have been any more sycophantic.

    The Times hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. That means they loved the likes of Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter twice, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden twice. But since Thomas Massie is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, he’s getting the kind of special treatment other anti-Trump Republicans from Marjorie Taylor Greene to George Conway to Mitt Romney have received.
     
    High information Kentucky voters know that Massie has willingly given aide and comfort to DNC enemies of American workers:

    Take Massie’s vote on Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed by a single vote in the House in 2025 thanks to him and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Massie shot it down because it didn’t cut spending enough to his liking. Here’s the problem: Without certain programs in it (such as SALT reductions), the bill doesn’t pass because moderates had promised to reject it. You have to give a little to get a little. If the bill didn’t pass, as Massie desired, the result would have been a huge win for Democrats and a huge tax increase on people.

    But for Massie, the possible consequences of his actions (and lack thereof) aren’t the point. It’s all about fundraising and retaining power.
     
    Good news is that MAGA has done a good job getting intelligent voters to the polls. We saw this with the recent Indiana vote. And, just a few days ago when a RINO incumbent was defeated in the Louisiana Senate primary. Hopefully the America First contingent will unseat the failure that is Massie.

    Will poorly informed, low-IQ yahoos push Massie across the line? It's possible. If it happens, it will be a tragedy for America.

    There's also Trump's ego that's involved. You can't be just a supporter of the (original) MAGA goals, apparently. You must be down with everything Trump wants. That's the big battle here, as this election for the GOP nomination in the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky has become a nationwide referendum: Does being MAGA mean you must follow Trump?

Instead, here we have a principled Immigration Patriot MAGA Conservative who wasn't going to be simple yes-man for Donald Trump as the target of a primary challenge due to this nasty trait. (It reminds me of Trump's stupidity regarding Jeff Sessions. After Sessions was removed from the A/G position, Trump STILL worked against this A+ Immigration Patriot in the Alabama Senate primary - pure vindictiveness.)

    They say that Britain gave Palestine to the Jews with the Balfour Declaration because Britain was broke due to WW1. And was reading somewhere just the other day how Britain gave Eastern Europe to the Soviets because Britain was broke during WW2. Apparently Churchill wrote something on a napkin and handed it to Stalin and that was bye bye Eastern Europe. America had to accept what was written on that napkin.

    Was also reading somewhere how Hitler was talking about how India was run by Britain by a minimum of troops for the benefit of Britain so Germany was going to run Russia in a similar manner. Germany was going to colonize Russia so to speak. This is apparently in Hitler's book which he wrote in the 1930's but I never read it so cannot vouch for it. But Google AI sure does


    Yes, Adolf Hitler and Nazi leadership explicitly used the British Empire's colonial rule over India as a model for how they wanted to conquer, exploit, and govern Russia and the rest of Eastern Europe.

    This imperial vision was documented in the Nazi master plan known as Generalplan Ost.

    The Nazi plan and its comparison to British India included the following:

    The Model: Hitler frequently praised the British Empire, viewing the subjugation of millions of Indians by a small number of British administrators as a supreme achievement. He envisioned Germany establishing its own "India" on the Eurasian continent, right next to its own borders, avoiding the need for overseas supply lines.

    The "Generalplan Ost": This master plan for Eastern Europe dictated that the vast natural resources of the Soviet Union would be extracted to fuel the German economy, much like raw materials were extracted from India to benefit the British.

    Enslavement and Expulsion: The Slavic populations (such as Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles) were classified as racially inferior. The plan was to either expel tens of millions of people to Siberia or keep the remainder alive under strict conditions to serve as an illiterate, uneducated enslaved labor force for German settlers.

    Settler Colonialism: Vast areas of fertile Russian land were to be cleared of their indigenous populations and handed over to German farmers (referred to as "soldier-peasants") who would form elite ruling communities in a colonized landscape.
     

    All the talk of Germany pre-emptively invading the Soviet Union always comes from 1 source, that book by some Russian dude. Just like 1 swallow doesn't make a summer, just so 1 source is not supposed to be used to support that overarching thesis that Russia was about to attack Germany so Germany attacked Russia first.

    Interestingly – it is reported by US media that this past year – US companies in Ukraine have been specifically targeted. Subtle – but seriously costly. Iran announced they would do it – among the belligerents – and did. There is a difference between a high intensity conflict and a war of attrition. It is well known Russia targets and kills NATO personnel secretly operating in Ukraine. They announce when they do. They also publish foreign mercenaries ID’s when they kill then. I’m not understanding what you people expect Russia to do? Use nukes? Send missiles to the Uk or France or Poland? The difference with Iran is the U.S. used bases in surrounding countries to attack Iran – so Iran is LEGALLY allowed to attack those bases. Iran is careful to note that it only attacked assets of belligerents and not those countries themselves. There IS a difference. No NATO bases have been used to directly attack Russia. They send men and material into Ukraine. Putin knows that. He is no cowboy 🤠. Legality absolutely matters. Only to the immoral or insane does it not. Cowboys should stay in the “Wild West”.

  • Let’s talk some more about “those who understand military culture.”

    Johnson is outraged about “the stupid fucking wars we’ve been fighting for 25 goddamn years.” Yet he still lauds the “service” of those like Tank and Jamie, tallying their suicides without mentioning the “kick in the balls” felt by each survivor of the people killed at a safe distance with superior weaponry in their own lands.

    The last sentence likewise puts Uncle Sam’s warriors on a pedestal above their countrymen.

    For a country that has spent more than two decades asking its military to bear the entire weight of its foreign policy while the civilian population remained largely untouched by sacrifice, the veteran suicide epidemic is both a public health catastrophe and a profound moral reckoning.

    This mindset has helped transform Officer Clancy into a masked robot shoving around “the civilian population” with shields.

    Johnson’s essay is romantic and cognitively dissonant. The Establishment serves the same military mush to recruit and get those of us “largely untouched by sacrifice” to pay for and praise the next Tank and Jamie.

    And I sometimes wonder whether our president and all the political elites of both parties around him may not have some concern that they might suffer the fate of the Bourbons.

    A genuine revolution with any teeth in it will never happen. Sure, you’re bound to get protests here and there, but the government’s harsh crackdown on the grannies who “invaded” the Capitol Building on January 7th showed Americans what will happen to them if they so much as raise a finger against our “democratically elected” so-called leaders. The Americans will take whatever our government dishes out to them, same as it always has.

    Jefferson’s famous quote…

    …is nothing more than an empty feel-good slogan. Americans, especially today’s Americans, have far too little desire and wherewithal to do anything of consequence against our federal government no matter how badly they are treated, no matter how badly things get.

    As I see it, the only thing that’ll bring large-scale revolution-level violence and bloodshed to American streets will be if the SNAP (food stamps) gets eliminated through incompetence, hyperinflation, or something else. When the welfare-lifer blacks and browns can’t get their Doritos and Grape Drank at the nearby 7-11 with their magic plastic SNAP card (that our federal government tops off monthly with our tax dollars) is when the proverbial sh*t will hit the fan.

    When the free food gets cut off we’ll have the George Floyd/BLM riots x 1,000: the government won’t be able to stop the violence, the looting, violent attacks, and arson will spread like wild fire; that’s when millions of violent, welfare-lifer, SNAP-card types (especially the hyper violent blacks) will get a taste of their own medicine.

    Thanks much for this insightful and well done article.

    'Progressives' had brazenly attempted a 'great replacement' in the mid to latter 19th century in much of the Anglosphere via the importation (by diktat!) of tens of millions of Chinese wage slaves, ie so called 'cheap labor'.

    This attempt was successfully (and unexpectedly) rebuffed, however, with the American Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and the Australian 'White Only' policy circa 1900.

    I submit that the blinding raw greed and lust for political power of a powerful relative few and their hangers on came first, and that secondly came their need for 'liberal universalism' to sell people on this wage slave (ie 'cheap labor') poison, via the introduction of their cult ideology of 'Multi-culturalism' and it's attached 'anti-race' campaign known by the euphemism as 'anti-racism'.

    https://archive.org/details/onehundredyearsp00flinrich/page/511/mode/1up

    One Hundred Years Progress (1870) – pg 511-514

    ‘The Chinese question, viz, whether the Chinese and other Oriental nations shall be allowed to swarm into our territory and take the place of our present laboring classes…”The Chinese problem, though in one sense already solved, is one of great importance in its influence upon our social condition in the next hundred years. We say it is in one sense already solved, because it is evident that we can not, if we would, keep them out”…Regarding this point as settled, and believing as we do that before 1880 we shall have 5,000,000 of Chinese on this continent, and before 1900, 20,000,000 or 25,000,000..’
     

    Together, these two self-reinforcing logics have created a dynamic, high-level equilibrium and path-dependent civilizational trap that is quite effective at delivering GDP growth, opportunities for elite status, rewards for loyalty, and moral validation, yet systematically undermines the long-term demographic and cultural foundations of European societies.
     
    Powerful rewards for a corrupt few and their hangers on, hell for most, as ably described in the excepted 2004 academic article excerpted and linked below:


    https://www.academia.edu/27219183/Between_urban_and_national_Political_mobilization_among_Mizrahim_in_Israel_s_development_towns_

    ‘…the immigrants usually serve three main functions: cheap labor to replace native groups; settlement on the ‘frontier’ (periphery); and control over the natives and their land..’

    ‘These dynamics generally result in the maintenance of hegemony..’

    And the unholy template for the importation (by diktat!) of alien wage slaves (via the so called 'cheap labor'/'mass immigration' system) within the Anglosphere, which is the historic economic and political basis of it's liberal 'progressive' Multi-Culturalism, can be found at 1619 Jamestown:

    They didn't ask that the African slaves be brought in amongst them, after all.

    he didn't mention trump's booster seat at the banquet table, to which trump took offense, when it was removed (so sorry, so sorry!), his chair was so low, it made him look like he was 8 years old. and how about all that reception at the airport with school girls, waving flags like pom poms. some say there were 170 of them to remind trump he is nothing but a compromised stooge of the israelis.

    as fas as selling weapons to iran, why would china want to brag and boast about the amount and particular systems they were sending. they will simply sell to third parties in africa, that will then send them on to iran. as far as the 200 boeings, that will give them leverage, in case the deceased hegemon steps out of line, cancel the whole order, that will take years to fulfill. same with the soy beans, china doesn't need them and they can be easily replaced. let's see how putin will be received, that should make an easy compare and contrast.

    it looks like the noose is about to tighten on zelensky, all of his supporting cast members are being removed and it looks like his servant of the people, reality presidency, is about to be cancelled. they say they have enough evidence to arrest his wife. trump is pressuring him to give up the donbas, but he refuses to give an inch knowing his banderite ukranazis would string him up from a lamp pole. let's see if the russians don't step in and take the magic "uranium dust" back to russia, to give trump the only possible off ramp left. if that happens see if zelensky's magic dust isn't taken away as well.

  • The article is saying that borderless neoliberalism is highly profitable for Western elites. It combines cheap Asian manufacturing with Western sales prices = record profits.

    The “World is Flat” idea also funnels cheap labour into Western home economies to maintain profitability in low wage industries such as agro, tourism, food processing, construction, healthcare/home services etc.

    However, what’s missing in the article is an evaluation of the recent spectacular collision of the neoliberal World Order with Chinese nationalism.

    It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Under the neoliberal World Order, China was expected to remain a permanent long term source of cheap industrial labour. The model was an iphone that retails in the US for maybe $1.000 having a manufacturing cost of about $35-$50 paid to a Chinese contractor.

    Logically, when they were able, the Chinese broke out of the neoliberal cage.

    From the Western liberal/corporate elite point of view it was an unacceptable ethnic/nationalist revolt (actually anti-colonial) – while from the Chinese point of view it was only the Chinese people looking after their own interests in their own Chinese homeland.

    The whole question seems to rotate around the Homeland idea.

    Taking a related example: The size of the Pakistani immigrant population of the UK (2 million ≅ 3% of the population) is about the same size as the Pakistani immigrant population in the United Arab Emirates (1.7 million ≅ 16% of the population) but the institutional attitude of the two host society elites is entirely different.

    In the institutionally neoliberal UK, Pakistani rape gangs were active for decades abducting and attacking underage working-class English girls in towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford (Baroness Longfield Inquiry 2025). Authorities (police and social-services) were repeatedly informed but refused to act – regarding the “claims” as racially motivated while avoiding the issue through victim blaming and burying the evidence. IOW authorities knew that for the sake of their employment/careers they had to conform to the UK elite Woke ethos. Basically Pakistani rapists were free to do what they wanted with underage working class girls for Woke “social justice” reasons.

    It’s difficult but possible to imagine an equivalent situation in Dubai (UAE) involving Pakistanis and underage Emirati girls. But the assumption has to be that it would be highly unlikely. If it did happen, the men involved would clearly not be long for this world.

    Th difference is that the UAE is the ethnic homeland of the Emirati’s while the UK is not viewed (by its elite) as the national homeland of English people. English people (particularly the working-class) just happen to live there – and in fact they’re regarded as a nuisance.

    The article, probably mistakenly, looks towards an apocalyptic solution:

    … millions of non-Western immigrants and their children are already inside the West, with full legal rights, and rapidly growing political influence. Remigration would trigger enormous societal, legal, and political crises, such as court challenges, media hysteria, accusations of “ethnic cleansing,” civil unrest, and massive short-term economic disruption. Demographically, the replacement has reached a point in which a future nonwhite majority has already been born.

    A less conflictive route would be for the UK to adopt a conventional nationalist profile, in fact the same as most countries around the world. In other words, 1) the freaky neoliberal elite is replaced by a conventional political nationalist elite and 2) the status of ethnic non-British people is legally and documentally changed from “citizen” to “long-term resident” with political rights reserved in the normal way for ethnic British people in the own homeland.

    The proposal is that Jews, Indians, Blacks, Chinese and other Europeans etc. would retain all their rights other than political (they would lose the right to vote and would not form part of the administration), providing that they were employed and paid taxes. The right to own a business, use the health service, schools etc. with no problems.

    Whatever statistics they give about the percentage of immigrants is a lie; there are far more of them than is officially acknowledged. Whatever numbers you see on the board of the boss of the ADL about the declining percentage of Whites they do not reflect the truth which is actually far worse. Whites in US are already a minority. This is all being done deliberately so you will relax while expecting to become a minority in 20 or 30 years time when in fact you are already a minority. Then one day you will find out that you are outnumbered by the immigrants and there is nothing you can do.

    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    To some extent I discussed these issues in a very long 2020 article on the intellectual history of American white racialism:

It is hust like the rest of the Anglo mainsttream media, a clearly Zionist ruling class propaganda outlet owned by Exor, the Agnelli family’s holding company, which operates Exor Investments (Israel) Ltd. Zanny Minton Beddoes, the editor-in-chief of The Economist, has justified and enabled the Jewish settler colony’s barbaric terror against the Palestinians and referred to the mass murder of unarmed Palestinian women and children as “perfectly reasonable.” Tucker Carlson recently confronted her on relevant issues. It is much easier to blame migrants and refugees for the ills induced by Jews in Western societies because it is simpler. Try criticizing the Jews or, for that matter, “Israel” in Western societies and see if your social media account is still up. I would not rely on Gemini AI for serious critical analysis.

    This is a serious question, I've always been interested in how different nationalities perceive racial phenotypes.

    If this man lost his tan, would he pass as an ethnic Pole in Warsaw.

    Would anyone look at him twice, or is his phenotype within the Polish range?

    Or would people assume he's one of Bibi's cousins?

Not only that, but it’s not good for Americans, because we’d rather not equalize the labor market with that of China, Bangladesh, or Africa.
     
    Given the mobility of capital, if the immigrants had stayed in their native countries, capital would have moved to them. This has in fact been happening.

    Analyzing the "distribution" of income between labor and capital is very complex, as any economist can tell you. I don't think you, or anyone here, can really do that.

    One thing that is relevant: they very, very low interest rates of the last decade have artificially inflated the value of capital. Past experience suggest that that is not sustainable.

    I.e., we may be in for a big collapse of capital markets.

    People in the future will not look like Brazilians
    Posted on May 18, 2015 by Razib Khan

    Periodically rather than offering up original thoughts it is needful to engage defensive warfare against pernicious memes. For example, one thesis that is commonly bandied about today is that racial admixture will result in the blending away of all differences, toward a homogeneous beige future without end. This is false. It is false for several reasons, genetic, and sociological. But, it is persistent for ideological reasons.

    [MORE]

    Here’s the latest instance, Future Humans Will All Look Brazilian, Researcher Says:

    Meanwhile, many other physical traits will simply blend together. “Most of the traits that we think of as distinguishing different groups (hair colour, skin colour, hair curliness, facial features, eye shape) are controlled by multiple genes, so they don’t follow a simple dominant/recessive pattern,” McDonald explained. “In those cases, blending will make people look more similar over time.”

    The recourse to a blending analogy is unfortunate. Genetics is not a blending process, it is a discrete one, which reconfigures variation every generation. The underlying variation in the form of alleles is maintained, even if the genotype frequencies shift. This insight is implied in the article with talk about recessive phenotypes and nods to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. One of the key problems with Charles Darwin’s original theory of evolutionary process is that it did not account for how heritable variation could be maintained. If that variation melted away every generation through blending processes then the world would rapid equilibrate toward homogenization. Roughly half the variation would disappear per generation in an exponential decay process.

    And yet variation remains! Though the phenotypes, the traits, may exhibit blending between parents, the underlying genetic variation is governed by Mendelian dynamics. This is why in populations where alleles for traits like pigmentation segregate in a polymorphic fashion, such as in India, it is not uncommon for complexion to vary within families. Though on the population wide scale there is some tendency toward clustering about the mean, variance remains within a random mating group at equilibrium.

    In the next few decades international elites will no doubt enter into a period of intermarriage as old barriers fall, and new commonalities of class transcend ethnicity. But for the majority of the citizenry of the old nations such considerations will be theoretical. The initial period of synthesis and cross-fertilization will give way to stasis as all those open to the new possibilities of finding mates across old racial categories will have done so. Those who remain, the majority, will be more conservative in their preferences and tastes. The Holocene ushered in races which are extant across the world today through admixture; the anthropocene will usher in the post-national international race of global elite. Rather than twining a few threads of the human lineage, this new population will twist all the threads together in a radical new conformation. And it will be anything but homogeneous and uniform in its expression!

It’s just bullshit, as Elwood Blues put it so aptly."

    In my view this thing about Venezuela becoming the 51th state isn't just random nonsense it is potentially dangerous. Suppose this Delcy Rodríguez person had (instead of rejecting the idea as she did) replied that this was a great idea that only a truly brilliant visionary like Donald Trump could have come up with. And suppose the Democrats in Congress had agreed and said we should make Puerto Rico the 52nd state while we are at it. What would Trump have done then? I don't know but I don't want to find out. This is unlikely of course but Republican candidates for office are going to get asked about this and will have to answer carefully. As will the lawyers trying to defend Trump's removal of TPS for Venezuelans. Maybe not a huge deal but what is the upside? It certainly doesn't encourage the idea that the US should meddle less with other countries.

    Hello, James. I’ve been very busy, so I just wanted you to know I am not blowing off your point here.

    About Venezuela, yes, it’s possible that the events you describe could come about, but by that point, Trump would come up with some (to him) face-saving way to say “Nah, that was just BS”. (If they would name the country after him or something … different story ;-} ) I’m not worrying about our accidentally annexing Greenland, etc.

    As much as politicians lie and give empty promises (same thing some of the time), no, we’ve never seen this kind of thing before. I’ve not seen a politician this outlandish. Usually men have enough “honor” to not be seen as blatantly breaking their word over and over like this. This is why I think of Trump personality-wise as the “First Woman President”. It’s OK to him that he told us something completely wrong purposely or that he has changed his mind 180 degrees or we’re just supposed to read his mind and understand that this one thing was serious and this other was not.

    It’s unbecoming, to say the least. However, he is the unbecoming Woman President that is fighting the PRP.

Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive. ”

    In a world where the white European race is ten percent at the most of the world population, how can multiculturalism be anything but a phantasm?

    Why am I am thinking right now of that silly little trope, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips."

    In the arc of world history, what can multiculturalism be for the West but a day's indulgence? Then there is the rest of the world. What black or brown country has anything about it that would attract mass numbers of migrants from another race and culture half a world away? If you want that kind of socioeconomic misery, you might as well stay home and enjoy it among people who are at least of your own language, culture and blood.

    Then there is the simple fact that the white European race is not reproducing at a rate sufficient to populate its own historic lands, let alone export diversity to the non-European world. Even if the white European race could establish a minority of, say, ten percent in some black or brown country, what would it mean in the long run? Suppose you made, say, Nigeria ten percent white somehow? Well, come back in a thousand years and Nigeria would be as black as it is today.

    Diversity means different things in the West and in the non-Western world. In the non-Western world, it means there are Westerners present for purposes of business, activism, cultural exchange and religious proselytization. In the West, it means colonies of fecund non-Westerners who furthermore often receive preference in higher education and in hiring in many businesses, granted by the elites of the West at the expense of the legacy population.

    It's a pretty dim prognosis, but if you are one of the nons, what's it to you if you are putting the system which has given you longer lives, the hope of escape from hereditary tyranny, and the opportunity for modern education at risk. Even if it's back to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule, at least you will be free of the rule of the hated "machine" that has made you feel so inadequate. Even if a world without whitey means a return to worldwide feudalism and warlord rule for the human race, at least it represents the world of the known in the eyes of most of the human race.

They meant that military mistakes were made that allowed Red army to more easily occupy certain areas like Berlin."

    My response: Gen. Patton thought the Allied leaders intentionally adopted policies that prevented him from taking over Eastern Europe. He based this conclusion on more than military mistakes such as the Allied leaders preventing him from encircling the Germans at Falaise, France.

    For example, by Aug. 31, 1944, Patton had put Falaise behind and quickly advanced his tanks to the Meuse River, only 63 miles from the German border and 140 miles from the Rhine River. The German army Patton was chasing was disorganized and in disarray; nothing could stop Patton from roaring into Germany. However, on August 31, the Third Army’s gasoline allotment was suddenly cut by 140,000 gallons per day. This was a huge chunk of the 350,000 to 400,000 gallons per day the Third Army had been consuming. Patton’s advance was halted even though the way ahead was open and largely undefended by the German army in retreat. (Source: Wilcox, Robert K., Target: Patton, Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2008, pp. 290-292).

    Patton did not think this was a military mistake; instead, he thought Allied leaders were intentionally preventing him from taking over Eastern Europe.

If Trump leaves like a loser but exposes by default the shenanigans of the neoconservative, Jewish, Israel firsters for all to see, we should expect that the American public at large will get ever more rebellious against the shitty little state that started as a British Empire project designed to serve British interests but ended up as a liability to American foreign policy just like America’s unsung hero and martyr James Forestal expected it to be. OTOH, it could be politics as usual with another phony candidate parachuted from nowhere promising ‘change you can believe in’ or ‘ America First’ only to revert back to the same old politics that has been degrading the American Republic since the Clintons took charge under the tight grip of the neocons, all the way till today.

    Which way it will go depends on America’s citizens who have invested the energy and the time to see the shortcomings of the U.S. electoral process in the donors’ republic, with it ugliest manifestation being that despicable Peter Thiel you mentioned.

    An interesting comment, Steve. The result from the use of nukes is a great unknown, like tossing the cards up in the air and seeing how they land. And it's fitting to note that there are now a great variety, in power and radiation effects, of nukes that an American leader can choose from, though I think that he would get Israel to do the dirty of work of launching it.

    If China and Russia did nothing about an attack, I think that, yes, the sheople would shrug and move on. Such are the shocking times we live in.

    Along with ‘Steve in Dallas’, I too agree 100% but your article is woefully under-perspective of the Big Picture—you don’t mention the SOURCE of Wolfowitz’s doctrine.

    Lesson to every one, always do a search of someone’s race—race is important to what is going on because race matters. In this case Wolfowitz is a Jew and that matters.

    Philip, I’d like to draw your attention Jewish Messianism. It requires the rebuilding of the Tower of Babel, and a World Empire, a sort of Jew led World republic. This is what Wolfowitz is doing–pushing HIS agenda:

    “The historical mission of our world revolution is to rearrange a new culture of humanity to replace the previous social system. This conversion and re-organization of global society requires two essential steps: firstly, the destruction of the old established order, secondly, design and imposition of the new order. The first stage requires elimination of all frontier borders, nationhood and culture, public policy ethical barriers and social definitions, only then can the destroyed old system elements be replaced by the imposed system elements of our new order. The first task of our world revolution is *Destruction*…”

    ~ Nahum Goldman, founder of World Jewish Congress, The Spirit of Militarism (1915)
    https://henrymakow.com/000984.html (Dual German, English PDF edition. Ger 37-38; English pgs 70-72)

    Again, Adolphe Crémieux, one of the most westernized and successful Jews of the time, and at one time the minister of justice in the French government, in 1861, wrote:

    “The Messianism of the new era must arise and develop; the Jerusalem of the New World Order, which is established in holiness between the East and Asia, must occupy the place of two forces: the kings and the popes… Nationality must disappear. Religion must cease to exist. Only Israel will not cease to exist, since this little people is chosen by God.”

    Crémieux, Archives Israelites (Israelite Archives), 1861, N 25. Moss, Vladimir (2014) The Mystery of Jewish History. academia.edu PDF. pg 212.
    https://www.academia.edu/35230202/

    Freemasonry and Communism is founded on the ideology of Jewish Messianism. They both seek the rebuilding of the Tower of Babel and a World republic–America’s League of Nations and when that failed the United Nations pushed by Mason President Franklin Roosevelt.

    Then, someone figured out that the UN has no taxing power and no army–thus the Jews and their cucks shanghaied America as Mr. Muscle for their plan as America the engine and master of their World Republic with them ruling America.

    The whole of modern history for the past 400 years is centered around Jewish Messianism.

    Till 2024 (pre-AI revolution), Bakchods were largely running on autopilot, guided by the economic policies of Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, and Manmohan Singh.

    The model was straightforward: India had a huge population and a massive demographic dividend.

    American companies gained access to a young, low-cost workforce, creating a win-win situation for India through outsourcing and IT/services growth.

    However, till 2024, you saw no major new economic policy breakthroughs or bold reforms from the current government.

    Now, after 2024, the AI revolution has truly begun and India has missed the bus once again.

    In the coming years, your huge population could become a liability rather than an asset if AI replaces many of the routine jobs and services we currently provide.

    Why would American companies continue sending work and money here if AI can do it cheaper, faster, and better?

    This explains why FIIs are pulling out and why the Indian market has delivered negative returns in recent times.

    If this continues, Bakchods are not going to become a superpower by 2047. The risks ahead are far greater than most people realise.

    India urgently needs major policy changes.

  • @Ron Unz
    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    To some extent I discussed these issues in a very long 2020 article on the intellectual history of American white racialism:

    It is not clear from the article what purpose these completely useless immigrants from the Middle East serve in Europe, other than the Islamization of society, which subsequently becomes just as useless and spends its time hanging out in hookah bars. The Georgia Guide Stones were presumably dismantled because the population reduction called for there would lead to lower consumption and thus limit profits.

    May 18, 2026

    [A] large majority of Presidents since Taft have been enthusiastic golfers at some point in their lives.

    WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
    – born Sept. 1857, Cincinnati, Ohio;
    – At Yale College, 1874 to 1878, graduating 2nd in class of 121;
    – Cincinnati Law School, 1878 to 1880;
    – 1880s: successful law career;
    – Son Robert Taft* born, 1889, Cincinnati;
    – Governor-General of the Philippines, March 1900 to Dec. 1903;
    – Secretary of War, Feb. 1904 to June 1908 (under President T. Roosevelt);
    – elected president, November 1908
    – U.S. president, March 1909 to March 1913;
    – Law professor at Yale, April 1913 to 1921;
    – Appointed by President Harding as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; served, July 1921 to Feb. 1930 (his death). The appointment as chief justice

    (* – This is the Robert Taft who was the leading figure of the Republican Party from the mid-1940s to his death in 1953.)

    Taft took an August [1908] vacation in Hot Springs, Virginia, where he irritated political advisors by spending more time on golf than strategy. After seeing a newspaper photo of Taft taking a large swing at a golf ball, [President Theodore] Roosevelt warned him against candid shots.

    It’s said that the agreement between Harding and Taft for Taft to become chief justice of the Supreme Court was made on Christmas Eve 1920.

    The rationale, from Taft, was to block the machinations of first Jewish supreme court justice Louis Brandeis, a leftist-Zionist (supreme court justice, June 1916 to Feb. 1939). Taft distrusted and opposed Brandeis on grounds Brandeis was an un-American subversive, transnational elite.

    The entire political tenor of the 1920s, including sensible racialist immigration restriction, was surely helped a lot by William Howard Taft, Sailer-approved golfing devotee, being chief justice.

    What good came of Republican Party of the late 1940s and 1950s (and beyond) might be attributed to his son, Robert Taft’s refashioning of the party. Robert Taft was so influential in the decade of his peak influence that they erected a giant statue to him near the U.S. Capitol in 1959, which still stands.

    The Taft family are a good example of the old elites of the United States.

    Unfortunately, it's real. A significant portion of the US not only believes the "normal" insane Christian dogma, but also believes additional absurdities. One of the primary underpinnings of American Christianity (evangelical) is the idea that Revelation is going to happen soon and that they want it to happen. That has become even more absurd over the past 50 years as it has transformed into a desire to make Revelation happen. It is essentially an apocalyptic cult trying to destroy the world to fulfill a biblical prophesy.

    Their support of Israel is built primarily on the mention of a Third Temple in Jerusalem. They believe for the end of the world to happen, Israel must exist under Jewish control and construct a new temple. Israel knows this, which is why they aren't building the temple. But they could. That's all the kikelovers need to justify their behavior. Of course, Christcucks can't force the Jews to build the temple or something.

    The people who believe this aren't just common, but in high positions of power. Trump believes in nothing other than the Jewdollar, but kikelovers like Hegshit actually think the apocalypse is a good thing. These are people allowed to have control over nuclear weapons.

    So you went to the trouble of listing notable false attributions, but failed to state explicitly what I assume is the context of Trump’s statement: that he sees stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon as much more important than the current ‘financial situation of Americans’ caused by the war, which he also likely sees as temporary.

    I say assume because I despise Trump and cannot stand looking at him or listening to him, so I’m not going to watch the whole exchange to verify the context.

    Unfortunately, of all the reasons given for the war, preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is probably the one most likely to receive support from the general public, especially ‘thank you for your service’ types, who significantly outnumber Trump cultists.

    Sailer commenter Bill P on Christopher Nolan’s multiracial Odyssey movie (July 2026):

    Bill Price
    May 17, 2026

    It looks as though Nolan’s Odyssey will flop because it isn’t some niche production for high-brow liberals like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton,” which succeeded largely because of rather than in spite of the racial expropriation of traditional heroes.

    Casting a dark black Kenyan as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as an Achaean warrior isn’t going to create mass appeal, as much as it might excite postmodern academics. Just the black Helen alone is probably enough to turn off a large fraction of potential viewers, but the trans angle is really too much of a stretch.

    I’ve got to wonder what he was thinking:

    [MORE]

    Some think he’s trying to get an award, but he’s an artist, so you’d think that isn’t his highest priority.

    However, I’ll bet an academy award is a very high priority for his producer, who happens to be his wife Emma Thomas.

    Apparently Mrs. (Ms.?) Thomas handles pretty much all of Nolan’s publicity, social life and much else. She’s a “dame” – feminine titular equivalent of “sir” in the UK – and lives with her husband in LA.

    I don’t know for certain who pushed these casting decisions, but I strongly suspect it was Dame Emma Thomas, Lady Nolan.

    Comments:

    MLisa

    I’ve heard that Helen of Troy and Achaean are only small parts because The Odyssey is about a different set of characters in mythology (Odysses and Telemachus). The Iliad is about Helen and Achaean. Not sure if that’s true?

    Bill Price

    The problem is that no matter how minor the role, casting an African as “most beautiful woman” in a foundational Western epic is making a very big statement.

    .

    Slamy

    It will be a flop because people who read books are tired of film adaptations disregarding the source material. See this year’s Animal Farm abomination.

    I honestly don’t care about who’s cast in Nolan’s Odyssey. I do care that he doesn’t seem to know what it’s about.

    .

    William Poundstone

    You know Helen of Troy never actually existed, right?

    Bill Price

    What’s your point?

    William Poundstone

    i don’t see a problem with race swapping fictional characters unless their ethnicity is an important part of their story.

    Bill Price

    The story is about Achaeans. Ever read it?

    I mean, I guess you could have some white guy play a character from some Zulu epic. See how that goes over.

    Oppenheimer was properly cast and successful.

    The number of problems keeps growing.

    -1- Trans-chilles
    -2- Helen of deTroyt
    -3- Zendaya as Athena
    -4- Travis Scott -- Because rap is period accurate(?)
    -5- The score will not feature an orchestra -- Because that would be period inaccurate
    -6- Costumes/Armor are not period accurate
    -7- Giants that are not gigantic
    -8- The script is based on a modern feminist translation by Emily Wilson. Will the phrase “Daddy Issues” be used in the film?

    At least some of this is likely being forced by the project's financial backers. Is Nolan intentionally going too far in order to tank the movie?

    Perhaps some adaptation could have worked:

    • True period armor would look poor on screen, but why not stick with polished bronze? The "Batman" helmet is being mocked.
    • Nolan could have got away with casting Zendaya. That made it easier to obtain Tom Holland for a major role. And, a goddess with bored contempt for humanity is in her acting range.

    But there are too many issues. It's going to be immersion breaking, which is a disaster for epic storytelling.
    ____

    Will The Odyssey make money?

    Hard to say. There are a huge number of committed Nolan followers who will go. And, it's going to look spectacular. IMAX screens for the opening sold out months ago. It's going to pull in significant box office revenue even if it is bad.

    Does anyone happen to know the production budget?

    Nolan made some good movies, but his last few have been forgettable to say the least. He got credit for having a based approach to his movie making, but his movies were just less woke than the average. He employed the same subtle methods of inserting current year messaging into his movies. Lot's of diversity in roles where it would be a stretch, and lots of girl power.

    , @JPS
    @Jaybean

    It's been a fairly long time since the average American was easily manipulated by propaganda stoking moral indignation. There are basically two types of Americans who are numerous and assertive enough enough to "get riled up" and have it seriously matter in elections. The liberals, who are largely performative and whose sincerity is generally a matter of their believing they're part of a group that is in control of this country, responsible, and that they are the "good people" in this country. The types who are stereotypically from New England, listen to NPR, were once called "bleeding-heart liberals" because the performance was once a lot more maudlin. Their most recent "performance" (when these people become truly noxious swine) was during the COVID hysteria and forced kike injection clampdown.

    Then there are the rednecks, who are less performative about insults to Murica, and see attacks as a slight on their honor. For them, something like 9/11 or the attack on Pearl Harbor, or even the explosion of the Maine, are life and death matters. It is the old ones with this mentality who remember the humiliation of the hostage crisis who regard the Iranians as subhumans who basically deserve destruction. These people are degraded humanity, senile, ignorant, old, and disengaged enough from the matters that are concerned with their well-being (beyond the price of gas) that they are capable of supporting the war.

    Trump's four grandparents grew up overseas, his mother was born on the Isle of Lewis. It's possible he has a genetic or epigenetic tendency to be hypercritical to insult, as the maintenance of reputation in Gaelic speaking Clan based societies was an extreme social requirement. This same combativeness is famous, at least historically, among the Appalachian descended population of the United States. So Trump, in his senile old fool's mind, is not just obeying his kike masters who are his gods on this earth. He is getting revenge on America's enemies for supposedly committing all sorts of dastardly deeds against Americans over decades.

    My little buddy Mr. Anon wrote to me:


    Ultimately, crazy people like you are just tiresome.
     
    Oh, for sure!

    Y'see, you brought up the subject of the Great Depression, which happens to be a subject I have been researching going back five-and-a-half decades. When I was in high school, I read Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money -- cover to cover! -- as well as Mises' Theory of Money and Credit. And I gave lectures on all this at Stanford (in the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems). I actually had an offer to do a post-doc in the field after getting my Ph.D. in physics, but I decided to go into industry instead.

    So, given my extensive knowledge of the subject, I decided that this was a "teachable moment" for you and that I could suggest some basic reading where you might learn something.

    Of course, I know that you find the work of reading books to be "tiresome," but I thought it was worth a try.

    My little pal also wrote:

    You are incapable of understanding anything that can’t be reduced to money or anything quantifiable because you are a rank materialist.
     
    Ya think so?

    Well, actually, I don't care that much for most of the things that money can buy: I prefer fried chicken to filet mignon, I would rather drink a glass of lemonade than of a fine wine, I buy my clothes at J. C. Penney, and the car I drive is more than a quarter century old. We're affluent enough that I could have filet mignon, fine wine, and a new car whenever I want, but I just don't care.

    On the other hand, humans do need to eat, and that is economics.

    Anyway, it is you and your conies here who keep bringing up economic issues involving immigrants, the Great Depression, etc. I just try to correct some of the many errors you guys keep making.

    I'm just sort of the janitor cleaning up your spills on Aisle 3!

    What I really care about, as I keep saying, what I am truly fanatical, indeed militantly obsessive, about is denouncing the Big Lies that are the foundation of our society: and so, I keep insisting that all religions are simply packs of lies; that government exists to loot the productive members of society and turn the loot over to the members of the government and their hangers on; that our "education system" is little more than a gigantic propaganda machine to control the populace; and, of course, that the future of the human race is, obviously, Beige.

    What really has you and your pals upset with me is not what I documented about the money supply in the Great Depression but rather my voicing inappropriate truths about religion, government, "race," etc., don't you think?

    My little friend also wrote:

    I bet [my wife's immigrant] parents despise you.
     
    Ya think so? Well, they're dead now, but every single one of their grand-kids were Mischlings, and they seemed happy with that.

    Maybe your fear of immigrants has prevented you from learning how members of other cultures actually do think?

    It's true that Chinese do tend to view the West as a whole as a bit of a parvenu on the stage of world history. And they do tend to think many Westerners are shallow, materialistic, undisciplined, and anti-intellectual. But they don't think these traits are genetic: they think they are aspects of degenerate Western culture that can be overcome with effort.

    And, since I was a very studious, disciplined, sober fellow with a wide range of intense academic interests -- from math and physics to economics and history -- my in-laws seemed to think that I was not that bad.

    Hey! -- some of us transcend the degenerate Western culture in which we were raised!

    Anyway, I know you find facts like all this just "tiresome," but I have refrained from suggesting any more actual books in this comment, since you seem to find that especially tiresome!

    And you still have not told us exactly why, to use your words, the presence of immigrants "negatively affects the life prospects of me and mine."

    Gen. Mark Clark, the American commander in Italy, later commented on Roosevelt’s decision: “The weakening of the campaign in Italy in order to invade southern France, instead of pushing on into the Balkans, was one of the outstanding mistakes of the war…Stalin knew exactly what he wanted…and the thing he wanted most was to keep us out of the Balkans.” (Source: Ibid., pp. 238-239).
     
    UK and U.S. couldn't even crush the German armies in Italy, how likely it is that they can win in Yugoslavia? It was harebrained Churchill idea. Looks good on paper, complete disaster if executed.


    Did Churchill’s proposed Balkan invasion/strategy have much merit or was it one of those ideas where he was out of his depth on?

    https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/comments/1butgws/did_churchills_proposed_balkan_invasionstrategy/

    Stalin didn't even oppose Churchill's plans to invade Balkans.

    See:
    https://archive.org/details/politicsofwarwor00kolkrich/page/18/mode/1up?q=tito


    He was okay with it. He only asked for "50/50" control of Yugoslavia. If UK wanted to take the other "50%", he had no problems.

    Percentages agreement
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentages_agreement


    The United States could have easily prevented the Soviet Union from marching so far west into Europe. After defeating Germany in North Africa, the Americans and British went into Sicily and then Italy. Churchill favored an advance up the Italian or Balkan peninsulas into central Europe. Such a march would be quicker in reaching Berlin

     

    The fastest way to block Red army from occupying Eastern Europe wasn't to invade Yugoslavia in 1944. It was to open second front in France in mid 1943 instead of 1944. Forget about Italy in 1943.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CqGeAmVu1I


    If the second front had been opened in 1943, UK and U.S. could have been in all of Germany by first half of 1944. Red army was only in Ukraine in first half of 1944. If the war ended at that point, there would have been no Red army occupation of Eastern europe.


    The Allied military leaders also intentionally prevented Gen. George Patton from quickly defeating Germany in Western Europe. In August 1944, Patton’s Third Army was presented with an opportunity to encircle the Germans at Falaise, France.

     

    The only reason why Patton could be in France in 1944 was because the German army had been crushed by Red army by that point. If Red army halted the war in early 1944 and Germany redirected their armies from Eastern front to France, you think UK and U.S. could have won?

    They say that Britain gave Palestine to the Jews with the Balfour Declaration because Britain was broke due to WW1. And was reading somewhere just the other day how Britain gave Eastern Europe to the Soviets because Britain was broke during WW2. Apparently Churchill wrote something on a napkin and handed it to Stalin and that was bye bye Eastern Europe. America had to accept what was written on that napkin.

    Was also reading somewhere how Hitler was talking about how India was run by Britain by a minimum of troops for the benefit of Britain so Germany was going to run Russia in a similar manner. Germany was going to colonize Russia so to speak. This is apparently in Hitler’s book which he wrote in the 1930’s but I never read it so cannot vouch for it. But Google AI sure does

    Yes, Adolf Hitler and Nazi leadership explicitly used the British Empire’s colonial rule over India as a model for how they wanted to conquer, exploit, and govern Russia and the rest of Eastern Europe.

    This imperial vision was documented in the Nazi master plan known as Generalplan Ost.

    The Nazi plan and its comparison to British India included the following:

    The Model: Hitler frequently praised the British Empire, viewing the subjugation of millions of Indians by a small number of British administrators as a supreme achievement. He envisioned Germany establishing its own “India” on the Eurasian continent, right next to its own borders, avoiding the need for overseas supply lines.

    The “Generalplan Ost”: This master plan for Eastern Europe dictated that the vast natural resources of the Soviet Union would be extracted to fuel the German economy, much like raw materials were extracted from India to benefit the British.

    Enslavement and Expulsion: The Slavic populations (such as Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles) were classified as racially inferior. The plan was to either expel tens of millions of people to Siberia or keep the remainder alive under strict conditions to serve as an illiterate, uneducated enslaved labor force for German settlers.

    Settler Colonialism: Vast areas of fertile Russian land were to be cleared of their indigenous populations and handed over to German farmers (referred to as “soldier-peasants”) who would form elite ruling communities in a colonized landscape.

    All the talk of Germany pre-emptively invading the Soviet Union always comes from 1 source, that book by some Russian dude. Just like 1 swallow doesn’t make a summer, just so 1 source is not supposed to be used to support that overarching thesis that Russia was about to attack Germany so Germany attacked Russia first.

If necessary, we have to go in and dig it up or else drop a tactical nuke where it is stored to make it unusable for the future. Additionally, they must not be allowed to continue to pursue development of atomic weapons.

    2. The Iranian Regime destabilizes the Middle East through its own machinations and via funding of terrorism against Israel using its proxies in other countries. Until this is brought to a stop, there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.

    3. The Iranian Regime cannot be allowed to claim or exert control over the Strait of Hormuz. If the UN/world refuse to step-up to protect shipping through the Strait, then the US must use its power to take on the task of keeping the Strait open.

    You obviously know nothing about nuclear weapons. A nuclear weapon was dropped on Nagasaki Japan in August 1945. A public park called the 'Peace Park' was opened at ground zero in Nagasaki in April 1955. That is less than ten years later. If Iran is determined to retrieve the enriched uranium they would not wait ten years even if a nuke is dropped on it. We also don't know the actual location of the uranium in order to target it. Their is nothing Trump can do about it (or I should say, Netanyahu) without negotiating it with Iran.

    Not really, considering their "burn rate," their level of capital investment, and, most importantly, their projected future capital needs. And then of course there is the dicey financing tricks -- "round-tripping," for example.

    There have been a lot of reported studies on what benefits businesses get from the AIs: the answer -- not much. Even in coding, which should be a prime application because the domain is clearly circumscribed, reports are that humans spend a lot of time correcting AI errors. And, critically, the code is not "maintainable": it's hard for humans to understand what the AI has done and how to upgrade or alter it.

    And then there is the fact that they have already scraped the Web but still need more and more training data, so they are starting to use AI-produced data to train other AIs -- so-called synthetic data. There was a paper a little while ago in Nature predicting the result: let's just say that I think you know how Markov chains work!

    The biggest problem, though, is built into how the LLMs work: they just predict the next word (technically, "token") stochastically. They have no model of the real physical world. They have no judgment or understanding. They are just super-enhanced "auto-complete functions."

    Over the next few decades, some of these problems will be addressed and they will become more useful. But I just saw a guy on YouTube predicting AGI in 2027 (funny, how it is always a year or two from now!).

    Not gonna happen.

    This is just like the dot-com bubble back in the early 2000s. Sure, the Web ultimately became quite important. But Pets.com never really did look credible. In the end, you have to make a profit.

    AI will have its uses, eventually. But, right now, it is way, way over-hyped. And the ultimate AIs will be a lot more clever than just the LLMs -- and not nearly as power-hungry!

    For coding, more of a thing in 2025 or earlier, I think. Using Claude Code in 2026 has shown me:

    1. You can just vibecode to an astounding degree (very loose prompting) and the generated code just works. Amazing.

    2. The generated code I have examined was dutifully tedious but not odd. I have seen much, much worse code written by humans. Much worse. In production.

    3. It’s not limited to just generating code, but can be used throughout software development. It can port your code to a new programming language. It can debug and fix your network configuration. It can find exploits in your code (Project Glasswing).

    4. I haven’t used OpenClaw myself but there you have a new vista of functionality (at this time YOLO-tier, but that will change).

    Programming is one thing, but the strongest results at this time actually seem to be in maths and physics. For example solving several open Erdos problems in recent weeks, deriving some new result in physics far beyond me, and attaining excellent results in the international math and physics olympiads. What were your IPhO scores, Dave? Handholding still needed to an extent, but it seems clear this too will pass.

    If you need computer generated code blocks to solve your problem maybe you could try the old fashioned maneuver of chopping up your problem into shorter problems and fixing those up one at a time. This is a parallel strategy to the one of go slow and by the time you get to task number four it just might happen to have dropped entirely off of the stupid list.

    I am not an elite computer programmer but I did succeed in picking up this much during my life in the trenches. Computer generated code blocks have been around for more than twenty years. They are really great at generating regret and can be far more work in the long run.

    "My vote is, if only one of the two really is, Mr. Handel is the American and A123 is something else."

    If Greta is not American, what would he be? It is not likely he would be a Jew or dot Indian since he opposes foreign wars like the current Iran one. Both those ethnic groups would be for wars against Muslisms. Would he be Muslim? His other focus in recent years was opposing Covid authoritarianism, which does not hint at him being a foreigner. I opposed it and I am not a foreigner. I am reluctant to say someone is not a White American because I myself have been falsely accused of being a dot Indian or Jew. The now banned commenter who went by the name "Truth Vigilante" accused me of not just being a Jew but a yarmulke wearing Jew. I am not a Jew and the only thing I put on my head is a pork pie hat.

    Greta does suffer from a common affliction here. This involves someone thinking the issues important to him are the only important issues. I agree with Greta on ending Jewish influence and foreign wars, something White racists like Jared Taylor seldom talk about. At the same time, I do think we need to reduce high levels of non-White immigration as the Jared Taylor types want.

    In order for a president to be successful, he has to have the right policies in multiple areas. Trump succeeded in reducing immigration but failed to keep this country out of foreign wars and to bring down high prices by his failure to end Fed inflationary policies. Because of this, the Republicans will do poorly in the midterms.

    A main feature of Greta Handel’s commentary, along with Loyalty if the First Law of Morality, is bashing older people for being out of touch, over-conservative, unambitious do-nothings more interested in “reverse mortgage” than in good racial policy.

    They have argued Steve Sailer’s purpose is to run a “copium den” for older White males. Sailer as deradicalization project when what is needed in the face of the anti-White U.S. system is radical opposition to get things moving again.

    All this is the perennial attitude of the relatively young against the relatively older.

    It’s is an interesting perspective but I have never seen this is fully accurate with regard to Sailer. I also see how they could see it that way.

    Mr. Handel is among those of us at the younger end of the range of regular commenters here. He’s not right that the Sailer people are all nearing or in retirement age.

    In any case, a Hindu masquerading as White would more likely try to unite all age groups of Whites to fight Muslims and support Israel (?), than to try to drive a wedge between those born in the 1940s–60s and those born in the 1980s–90s.

    "A main feature of Greta Handel’s commentary, along with Loyalty if the First Law of Morality, is bashing older people for being out of touch, over-conservative, unambitious do-nothings more interested in “reverse mortgage” than in good racial policy. "

    The only thing those two have in common is the first thing you mention - they both do "bash" older people (boomers) for being out of touch. Greta doesn't care at all about "good racial policy" as far as whites are concerned, and spends most of her time complaining about comment moderation and engaging in interrogation slop that distracts from the actual point being discussed. Litflom can go too far when his frustration gets the better of him, but I think that can be excused. He doesn't engage in ad hominem or person attacks nearly as much as many others here, to include professional bully victim Mark G, if he does at all. Greta is big on personal insults. Litflom also makes very good arguments, and patiently discusses topics with those he disagrees with, to include the estrogen fueled Fizz Dave. In short, Litflom has more in common with you, Hail, than he does Greta.

    Many boomers cry foul when the boomer slur is thrown out there, but the reality is there is some truth to that stereotype. Mark G and Fizz Dave (and Sailer ftm) illustrate that nicely. They are hyper insulated from the real changes society is going through and cling to some obsolete idea of political discourse. They damn well know to stay away from blacks and other minorities, but that egalitarian indoctrination they were exposed to as kids and adults is entrenched, and anyone that advocates for whites to have rights in their own country is called RACIST!!11 or the even more gutless and smarmy term "racialist".

    Regarding Fizz Dave, he gets wide latitude with his anti white rhetoric from you and some others here, because... oh yes, the proclivity many here have for so called Intelligence and Credentialism (did you know he has a PHD from Stanford?)

    Gen. Mark Clark, the American commander in Italy, later commented on Roosevelt’s decision: “The weakening of the campaign in Italy in order to invade southern France, instead of pushing on into the Balkans, was one of the outstanding mistakes of the war…Stalin knew exactly what he wanted…and the thing he wanted most was to keep us out of the Balkans.” (Source: Ibid., pp. 238-239).
     
    UK and U.S. couldn't even crush the German armies in Italy, how likely it is that they can win in Yugoslavia? It was harebrained Churchill idea. Looks good on paper, complete disaster if executed.


    Did Churchill’s proposed Balkan invasion/strategy have much merit or was it one of those ideas where he was out of his depth on?

    Stalin didn't even oppose Churchill's plans to invade Balkans.

    See:
    https://archive.org/details/politicsofwarwor00kolkrich/page/18/mode/1up?q=tito


    He was okay with it. He only asked for "50/50" control of Yugoslavia. If UK wanted to take the other "50%", he had no problems.

    Percentages agreement
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentages_agreement


    The United States could have easily prevented the Soviet Union from marching so far west into Europe. After defeating Germany in North Africa, the Americans and British went into Sicily and then Italy. Churchill favored an advance up the Italian or Balkan peninsulas into central Europe. Such a march would be quicker in reaching Berlin

     

    The fastest way to block Red army from occupying Eastern Europe wasn't to invade Yugoslavia in 1944. It was to open second front in France in mid 1943 instead of 1944. Forget about Italy in 1943.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CqGeAmVu1I


    If the second front had been opened in 1943, UK and U.S. could have been in all of Germany by first half of 1944. Red army was only in Ukraine in first half of 1944. If the war ended at that point, there would have been no Red army occupation of Eastern europe.


    The Allied military leaders also intentionally prevented Gen. George Patton from quickly defeating Germany in Western Europe. In August 1944, Patton’s Third Army was presented with an opportunity to encircle the Germans at Falaise, France.

     

    The only reason why Patton could be in France in 1944 was because the German army had been crushed by Red army by that point. If Red army halted the war in early 1944 and Germany redirected their armies from Eastern front to France, you think UK and U.S. could have won?

    I don't think the military people meant that. They meant that military mistakes were made that allowed Red army to more easily occupy certain areas like Berlin. They didn't mean that the INTENT of FDR or others was to HELP Red army to move into Eastern Europe.

    For example I cannot argue that Neville Chamberlain made mistakes in his diplomacy towards Germany that allowed Germany to annex Austria and Czech. No, that is not the case. It was his INTENT to let Germany annex those regions.

    This article mentions that the behavior of White House is going to cause devastating losses to the Republicans in the coming Mid-Terms, but White House has mitigated this problem by carrying out extremely successful redistricting / political gerrymandering in Republican States, gaining dozens of new Congress seats that would have been won by Democrats in the coming Mid-Terms. And simultaneously, White House has blocked Democrat states from retaliating with their own redistricting / gerrymandering. Many Democrat candidates have already dropped out of the Mid-Terms, saying that they could not win anymore.

    Plus, even though voters for the current White House may not be as happy as before, they will still vote for Republicans because Democrats have nothing better to offer. Democrats are still doing all their identity politics which Americans don’t want. Newsweek, a Democrat newspaper, just did a big article called “White Supremacists Hold Secret Fighting Tournaments Deep in Forests.” Why would any European-American vote for a party that still calls their people “White Supremacists”? Democrat elites (Jews) simply refuse to give up things like promoting Homosexuality, Transsexuality, Feminism, African crime, general violent crime/theft, illegal aliens, anti-free speech, and anti-gun rights (people need guns to protect themselves from the African crime and illegal aliens).

These are the only three things that should be on the official Democrat Party platform. And, Democrats need to mostly run heterosexual European males for political offices. Most Americans don’t want to see African, Brown, or female faces. The Jewish can exert their influence from the background, but the public faces should be as described above.

    By the way, I think one can forget about the idea of a civil war – there is, as I understand it, no way the contemporary USA gene pool could ever organize such an event, or be willing to face the horrific tortuous agonizing process. But, there is a much more simple, non-violent, and legal path a hypothetical nation in a current situation could theoretically take – simply strike and end all economic activity by not going to work and by not spending any currency. In one month perhaps, the entire economy of that nation would collapse. This would have the same effect as a civil war.

    You ask: "Why don’t you answer the lebensraum question?"

    My response: Germany did not attack the Soviet Union for lebensraum; instead, Germany invaded the Soviet Union for preemptive reasons. The Soviet Union was attempting to take control of all of Europe. I recommend that you read Viktor Suvorov's book The Chief Culprit for more detailed information.

    You write: "When did Paton joined the war if I may ask and where were the Soviets at that point. You offer no answer, just a pathetic gibberish."

    My response: General Patton was in a position to know that the Allied leaders intentionally allowed the Soviet Union to take over Eastern Europe. That is why I quoted from his speech made on May 8, 1945.

    The United States could have easily prevented the Soviet Union from marching so far west into Europe. After defeating Germany in North Africa, the Americans and British went into Sicily and then Italy. Churchill favored an advance up the Italian or Balkan peninsulas into central Europe. Such a march would be quicker in reaching Berlin, but Roosevelt and Stalin opposed this strategy at the Tehran Conference in November 1943. In general sessions at Tehran with Churchill present, Roosevelt opposed strengthening the Italian campaign. Instead, Roosevelt wanted troops in Italy to go to France for the larger cross-Channel attack planned for 1944. (Source: Folsom, Burton W. Jr. and Anita, FDR Goes to War, New York: Threshold Editions, 2011, pp. 237-238).

    Gen. Mark Clark, the American commander in Italy, later commented on Roosevelt’s decision: “The weakening of the campaign in Italy in order to invade southern France, instead of pushing on into the Balkans, was one of the outstanding mistakes of the war…Stalin knew exactly what he wanted…and the thing he wanted most was to keep us out of the Balkans.” (Source: Ibid., pp. 238-239).

    The Allied military leaders also intentionally prevented Gen. George Patton from quickly defeating Germany in Western Europe. In August 1944, Patton’s Third Army was presented with an opportunity to encircle the Germans at Falaise, France. However, Gens. Omar Bradley and Dwight Eisenhower ordered Patton to stop at Argentan and not complete the encirclement of the Germans, which most historians agree Patton could have done. As a result, probably 100,000 or more German soldiers escaped to later fight U.S. troops in December 1944 in the last-ditch counterattack known as the Battle of the Bulge. (Source: Wilcox, Robert K., Target: Patton, Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2008, pp. 284-288).

    Maj. Gen. Richard Rohmer, who was a Canadian fighter pilot at the time, wrote that if the gap had closed it “could have brought the surrender of the Third Reich, whose senior generals were now desperately concerned about the ominous shadow of the great Russian Bear rising on the eastern horizon of the Fatherland.” Even Col. Ralph Ingersoll, Gen. Bradley’s own historian, wrote, “The failure to close the Argentan-Falaise gap was the loss of the greatest single opportunity of the war.” (Source: Ibid., p. 288).

    Siegfried Westphal, Gen. von Rundstedt’s chief of staff, later described the condition of the German army on the day Patton was stopped: “The overall situation in the west [for the Germans] was serious in the extreme. The Allies could have punched through at any point with ease.” The halt of the Third Army blitzkrieg allowed the Germans to reposition and revitalize. With the knowledge that they were defending their home soil, the Germans found a new purpose for fighting. They were not just waging a war, but were defending their families from what they regarded as revenge seeking hordes. (Source: Ibid., pp. 290-298).

    Germany took advantage of the overall Allied slowdown and reorganized her troops into a major fighting force. Germany’s counterattack in the Battle of the Bulge took Allied forces completely by surprise. The Germans created a “bulge” in the lax American line, and the Allies ran the risk of being cut off and possibly annihilated or thrown back into the sea. Patton had to pull back his Third Army in the east and begin another full-scale attack on the southern flank of the German forces. Patton’s troops arrived in a matter of days and were the crucial factor in pushing the German bulge back into Germany. (Source: Ibid., pp. 300-301).

    Patton was enthused after the Battle of the Bulge and wanted to quickly take his Third Army into the heart of Germany. The German army had no more reserves and was definitely on its last legs. However, once again Patton was held back by Gen Eisenhower and the Joint Chiefs of Staff led by Gen. Marshall. Patton was dumbfounded. Patton wrote: “I’ll be damned if I see why we have divisions if not to use them. One would think people would like to win a war…we will be criticized by history, and rightly so, for having sat still so long.” (Source: Ibid., p. 313).

    The Western Allies were still in a position to easily capture Berlin. However, Eisenhower ordered a halt of American troops on the Elbe River, thereby in effect presenting a gift to the Soviet Union of central Germany and much of Europe. One American staff officer bitterly commented: “No German force could have stopped us. The only thing that stood between [the] Ninth Army and Berlin was Eisenhower.” (Source: Lucas, James, Last Days of the Reich—The Collapse of Nazi Germany, May 1945, London: Arms and Armour Press, 1986, p. 196).

    So, it is clear that the Allied leaders intentionally allowed the Soviet Union to take over Eastern Europe. This is the conclusion of Gen. Patton and many other military men such as Gen. Mark Clark, Maj. Gen. Richard Rohmer, Col. Ralph Ingersoll, German Gen. Siegfried Westphal, and at least one American staff officer.

Such a march would be quicker in reaching Berlin

    The fastest way to block Red army from occupying Eastern Europe wasn’t to invade Yugoslavia in 1944. It was to open second front in France in mid 1943 instead of 1944. Forget about Italy in 1943.

    If the second front had been opened in 1943, UK and U.S. could have been in all of Germany by first half of 1944. Red army was only in Ukraine in first half of 1944. If the war ended at that point, there would have been no Red army occupation of Eastern europe.

    The Allied military leaders also intentionally prevented Gen. George Patton from quickly defeating Germany in Western Europe. In August 1944, Patton’s Third Army was presented with an opportunity to encircle the Germans at Falaise, France.

    The only reason why Patton could be in France in 1944 was because the German army had been crushed by Red army by that point. If Red army halted the war in early 1944 and Germany redirected their armies from Eastern front to France, you think UK and U.S. could have won?

    They say that Britain gave Palestine to the Jews with the Balfour Declaration because Britain was broke due to WW1. And was reading somewhere just the other day how Britain gave Eastern Europe to the Soviets because Britain was broke during WW2. Apparently Churchill wrote something on a napkin and handed it to Stalin and that was bye bye Eastern Europe. America had to accept what was written on that napkin.

    Was also reading somewhere how Hitler was talking about how India was run by Britain by a minimum of troops for the benefit of Britain so Germany was going to run Russia in a similar manner. Germany was going to colonize Russia so to speak. This is apparently in Hitler's book which he wrote in the 1930's but I never read it so cannot vouch for it. But Google AI sure does


    Yes, Adolf Hitler and Nazi leadership explicitly used the British Empire's colonial rule over India as a model for how they wanted to conquer, exploit, and govern Russia and the rest of Eastern Europe.

    This imperial vision was documented in the Nazi master plan known as Generalplan Ost.

    The Nazi plan and its comparison to British India included the following:

    The Model: Hitler frequently praised the British Empire, viewing the subjugation of millions of Indians by a small number of British administrators as a supreme achievement. He envisioned Germany establishing its own "India" on the Eurasian continent, right next to its own borders, avoiding the need for overseas supply lines.

    The "Generalplan Ost": This master plan for Eastern Europe dictated that the vast natural resources of the Soviet Union would be extracted to fuel the German economy, much like raw materials were extracted from India to benefit the British.

    Enslavement and Expulsion: The Slavic populations (such as Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles) were classified as racially inferior. The plan was to either expel tens of millions of people to Siberia or keep the remainder alive under strict conditions to serve as an illiterate, uneducated enslaved labor force for German settlers.

    Settler Colonialism: Vast areas of fertile Russian land were to be cleared of their indigenous populations and handed over to German farmers (referred to as "soldier-peasants") who would form elite ruling communities in a colonized landscape.
     

    All the talk of Germany pre-emptively invading the Soviet Union always comes from 1 source, that book by some Russian dude. Just like 1 swallow doesn't make a summer, just so 1 source is not supposed to be used to support that overarching thesis that Russia was about to attack Germany so Germany attacked Russia first.

    This is really a pretty good article and I think it correctly focuses on the "vector sum" origins of current Western demographic policies.

    But I do think it misses certain things. Consider, for example, the case of E.A. Ross. Although he's now almost totally forgotten, a century or so ago he was one of America's greatest early sociologists and for decades one of our leading Progressive public intellectuals. Here's one of his great books, which I suspect may have partly inspired the very famous Glazer/Moynihan work of 1961:

    https://www.unz.com/book/e_a_ross__the-old-world-in-the-new/

    The key fact is that Ross's empirical and analytical observations have been totally expunged from mainstream Western thought.

    Take the Economist, arguably near the very pinnacle of Western mainstream journalism. I was just reading the latest issue, and was obviously greatly irritated by its huge establishmentarian blindspots regarding Russia, Ukraine, China, and various other things.

    I really snickered when it even included a sentence saying that China was now intimidated by America's very successful use of AI military technology in its Iran War.

    But one article about Swedish education really caught my eye:

    https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/05/07/why-swedish-schools-are-going-unplugged

    It emphasized that there had been a very major decline in the academic performance of young Swedish students, saying that "25% of Swedish pupils struggle to read properly" and entirely blamed this on the pernicious influence of the Internet.

    That's certainly possible. But in recent decades Sweden has taken in huge numbers of foreign immigrants, and according to Gemini AI, these are now roughly 20-25% of the entire population, probably a much higher percentage among the schoolchildren. So isn't it possible that this might be a major contributing factor?

    But these sorts of thoughts regarding the role of racial/cultural factors have become entirely anathemized and excluded from any consideration. And it's worth asking how and why this crucial ideological shift occurred.

    To some extent I discussed these issues in a very long 2020 article on the intellectual history of American white racialism:

    White replacement is just a perfect example of natural selection. Just like in buman bistory, it is entirely natural that some species will eventually either get extinct and be absorbed by the other species.

    It’s entirely natural that genetically people will be less and less “pure” due to a highly globalized world and fast travel. Even closed countries with very strict immigration like China sees exponential growth of foreign brides, and the government doesn’t even think that it’s a problem if chinese men seeds non-chinese women and have a bunch of these “mongrels” populate Chinese schools and some will eventually rise up and obtain power for his mother’s tribe to the detriment of his dad’s. They are extremely sure that it is possible to assimilate these people enough to think that they’re chinese, and time will tell if they are right. To be fair there are one areas that help them, is that Han men is mostly interested in light-skinned women (the term for ideal wife in chinese is baifumei, lit. White rich beautiful), and there should not be much change in iq variance in the case of a Han miscegenating with other yellow or turkic or slavic or european stock. This is unlike white men, most who will fuck anything who moves. Very few white men are strictly whites only and this exarcebates white replacement.

    Today China has very low crime rate and the browns and blacks living there do not behave like a thug, but as ethnic ratio changes this will need further observation. If they slip up and let liberal subversion take root I believe they will be fucked the same way Europe was.

    The reason israel is strong is because they have a strict hierarchical pyramid and the ashkenazis keep a strong tight leash of that hierarchy, ensuring that the ruling class is dominated by the best israeli stocks rather than being diluted with lower iq stock.

    Saddam never said that. Compared to Trump, Saddam was a courageous and honest man. Saddam turned Iraq from a poor nation into the most advanced nation in the region before it was deliberately and criminally destroyed by the Jews and their savage dogs. He was a victim of a large Satanic Jewish conspiracy, just like al-Qadhafi and al-Assad. Saddam should not be blamed for the Iraq-Iran war. The war was orchestrated by the US, Israel, and the Arab family dictators. The war lasted eight years because no one wanted it to stop. It was fueled by the dictators, the US-led West, and the Jews. The Jew, Henry Kissinger, openly said, "Let them kill each other." Later, when Saddam tried to teach the Kuwaiti and Saudi dictators a lesson, Iran supported the U.S.-led “Coalition of the Willing” armies' criminal attacks on Iraq and later used genocidal sanctions to bust its ailing economy. In the 2003 aggression and invasion of Iraq, Iran was one of the major US allies invading Iraq from the West, the U.S.-UK from the South and Southeast, the Jews (Mossad), the Poles, Australians, and other invaders were from Jordan. More than 20 countries were involved in the illegal aggression and invasion, with over 500,000 troops. This was after decades of genocidal sanctions that killed more than 1.5 million Iraqis, including 600,000 children under the age of 5, daily aerial bombardments by the U.S. UK, the Jews "Israel," and UN-supervised disarmament that rendered Iraq completely defenseless against the biggest invasion of modern times. It is misleading to compare Iraq with Iran. The overwhelming majority of the current and past Iranian leaders, including Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, have lived and studied in Iraq. Today, Iraq is the only country in the region that is standing with Iran, despite being occupied by the Zionist-Fascistic axis of Jews and Americans. It is sad to watch Professor Mohammad Marandi's obsession with Saddam in his often propagandistic outburst against Iraq.

    I wrote months ago that in some respects, I was glad the Trumpet got elected. He has entirely shredded America's standing in the world. He has obliterated any trust or belief in it, but more (most) importantly, he has torn down the facade that hid the corruption and avarice of the American political class that has operated long before I was born.

    The Trumpet managed to bankrupt at least four casinos. How does one even bankrupt a casino?? His fifth bankruptcy may be the US itself.

    He has done more damage to America that any external 'enemy' could ever hope to achieve. His foreign policy seems to be scripted entirely from Monty Python. American foreign policy long objectified the prevention of a coming together of Russia and China.

    They are now besties.

    Further, he seems to be accomplishing the same thing by driving Europe into the Chinese orbit.

    There is a good chance that America will be largely ejected from the Middle East as more Gulf States are beginning to rue their association with America and begin to look to Russia and China to provide a more stable security environment.

    Some blogger emphasized the foolishness of the Trumpet's war with Iran by noting that it took the US 20 some years to replace the Taliban (in Afghanistan) with the Taliban, but just a few weeks to replace Khomenei with Khomenei.

    What actually happened is that libertarian economists were wrong just like they were with Brazil.

    Blank slate libertarians expected Russia to become a European economic powerhouse after the collapse of the USSR.

    They didn't get the memo that much of Russia is pastoral and not a bunch of potential tech bros waiting to start companies once the red flag goes down.

    Putin also gave up on the dream of Russia becoming a full European economy and went back to invading his neighbors like Tsars before him.

  • A lot of Chicken Little clucking. The oil companies are swimming in unprecedented profits. There is plenty of oil. This is a massive hoax to justify price gouging. The largest organized price gouge since the 1970’s.

    Unfortunately there is no effective way to counter the oil companies when they go on these gouging sprees. China is having no problems at all, and they are now even relaxing their export controls. Like America they have far more oil than they can use, so like America they are exporting it at huge markups.

    When Hormuz closed almost 20% of Ocean Going oil was paused. Perhaps 12 or 13% of all, since far from all goes by ship. At this point, it has become clear that no one needs Hormuz oil , except Aramco and a few other companies, and of course the Jihadi Gulf States, who are losing market share. The world has no need of Jihadi oil.

    Here at Unz, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pandemic and so is Chicken Little Syndrome. So due to oil industry price gouging and an insane Jewish Berserker as President we will have a deep recession and an absolute disaster for the Repugnikans in November. That doesn’t mean the Sky Is Falling, and certainly doesn’t mean the war is “lost”.

    Where do you people come up with that ” war is lost” narrative? Youtube videos churned out by various CIA assets? I believe that is it. The war hasn’t even really begun yet. Zog just is having difficulties raising the proxy armies needed for a ground invasion. Ankara is the problem. Zog may have to wait till Erdogan’s party is voted out. But the CIA will eventually roust up the proxies and the ground war will be on.

    But that still does’t mean The Sky Is Falling.

    Actually, there are real legal tools to indict them.


    The best federal statute would be:

    Sherman Act § 1, 15 U.S.C. § 1

    This can support a criminal indictment for price fixing, output restriction, market allocation, or other conspiracies in restraint of trade. The statute makes illegal contracts, combinations, or conspiracies in restraint of interstate or foreign commerce, and violations can be felonies. Individuals can face up to 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine, with higher fines possible based on gain/loss.

    But here is the hard part:
    Parallel price increases alone are not enough.

    Oil executives all deciding, separately, “Let’s keep supply tight and make more profit” is ugly, but not automatically criminal. The government would need evidence of an agreement: calls, texts, meetings, information exchanges, coordinated output cuts, instructions, mutual assurances, “you hold production down and we will too,” etc.

    Which would be as easy as a Discovery Hold.

    So the legal distinction is:

    “We all independently realized we could make more money by producing less” = usually not criminal by itself.
    “We communicated and agreed to produce less or keep prices high” = possible Sherman Act indictment.


    Now, will anyone in power ever contemplate this?

While many Subud members believe that adherence to a religion may provide discipline that supports inner development, it is not considered a requirement for participation in Subud or the latihan.

    Assuming they are adding value, that has to be credited against their inevitable subtraction (consumption is subtraction, and everyone is a consumer, whether or not they are a producer).
     
    I agree with this. In an ideal free market, workers are paid what they are "worth", which should also be equal to the value they add. So in the free market everyone on average kind of nets to zero -- they consume what they produce and leave mostly nothing for the rest of society.

    (Incidentally, this is one reason we shouldn't necessarily worship the idea of importing high income people -- they earn more, but if they just spend it on their own consumption they still net to zero contribution to others. Same as a guy who lives off minimum wage).

    Of course we don't have a pure free market and people also add and subtract all kinds of positive and negative "externalities" -- taxes paid, crimes committed (both violent and financial), cultures changed. Etc.

    I suppose I am assuming my own hypothesis, as any good hypothesizer should do!

     

    Fair enough. But you shouldn't also use that assumption as proof of the original hypothesis. E.g., "If immigration didn't lower the ratio of wages to capital in GDP, then the ratio wouldn't have gone down, but it did go down, so . . ."

    Your point, though, is that I didn’t address capital changes, which is true. I didn’t address it because long term returns on capital haven’t changed much.
     
    If the ROI of capital stayed the same but the percentage of GDP earned by capital is up, that would seemingly imply that there is just more capital per worker now. (Capital per capita, one might say). If true, that would be a non-wage rate and non-immigration explanation.

    Btw, I recall that some French economist named Picketty was all the rage among lefty pseudo-intellectuals maybe 10-15 years ago because he wrote a tome that purported to explain why Capital would inevitably multiply faster than labor and therefore take over all the wealth. No one actually read his book and the Cliff Notes version of his thesis made no sense to me. (It was based on something superficial, like that compound interest from investing necessarily grows faster than productivity gains of labor). But people acted like it was important at the time. If you end up doing a deep dive on the Capital vs. Labor issue you might check him out to see how his theory aged.

    Finally, we had a discussion on GDP accounting awhile ago and one of the things I realized is that it is kind of arbitrary and seemed (to me) to basically double count the economic value of investment (counting it once when created and then again over time as it produces a return). A secular change in Wage/Capital components of GDP could be partly rooted in nothing more than a flawed GDP accounting method.

    The problem has been well-known, pretty much forever, to statisticians and econometricians. This is basically the difference between Gross Domestic Product and Net Domestic Product.

    And everyone has always known that NDP is a better measure than GDP.

    So, why the focus on GDP? Basically, because it is easier to measure statistically. And economists have concluded that the difference, over at least the short to medium term, does not really matter that much.

    Probably a bigger problem is the issue of index numbers when the basket of consumables changes, especially when the change is due to advances in technology. A PC today is thousands of times more powerful than the first PCs. So, when you buy a PC today for $1,000, should we count that part of your income as really being $1,000,000? That would obviously be crazy, but there is no clear solution to the problem.

    And, then, how do we value government “services”? GDP is basically valued on a cost basis. So, if the Civil Rights division of DOJ costs $100,000,000, that is considered an addition to GDP of $100,000,000, even though the division may actually impede economic activity.

    And similarly for civil-rights compliance officers in HR departments in private businesses, etc.

    Which brings me back to one of my own themes of the “parasitic verbalist overclass”: we should always ask ourselves: how much money would people voluntarily shell out of their own pocket, without government requirements or inducements, for certain goods or services?

    My guess is that about half of the “jobs” carried out by white-collar workers are not productive in that sense.

    Anyway, GDP does not and does not attempt to take any of this into account.

    Which is one of the reasons we need to think more carefully when thinking about why young people are pessimistic about the future.

    Incidentally, I agree in general with your comment, but thought this additional information might be useful.

    Actual libertarians are too small and insignificant a group to be the biggest obstacle to anything. The two biggest obstacles to a sensible immigration policy are do-gooders who want to admit immigrants for compassionate reasons and employers who want to admit immigrants to lower their labor costs.

    This is the sweaty waiting time before the realization that psychopaths are going to do whatever it takes. Nothing is off limits or out of bounds. Once the economic pain sets in, will it still be Iran, "The Winner," or will the narrative sharply change on a global scale? There is a Zionist objective and Iran is in the way. The propaganda will hammer away at malleable minds: Got economic pain? Iran. Why can't we get relief, get past this economic pain? Iran.

    Exactly! Totally agree.

    I could be wrong, but it seems that Iran showed some major advantage during this conflict and was doing very well, as US underestimated them based on Iran’s spinless and half-hearted responses from last year and earlier, and did not expect them to have such effective weapons.

    However, it seems that Iran has now stopped fighting pretty much completely. They may react here and there, but without going too far.

    Why? I believe that they were threatened with nukes if they do not stop firing missiles and that threat scared them and made them stop.

    Currently, US/Israel are finishing the rest (Lebanon, etc.) with Iran watching from the sidelines doing nothing, while at the same time preparing their come back to tackle Iran again once Iran is completely alone. So it will be rinse and repeat: Step 1: attack Iran, Step 2: If Iran gets any kind of advantage, threaten to nuke, Iran stops fighting, then recoup, reorg and go to Step 1.

    Ultimately Iran’s defeat and occupation/colonization is now only a matter of time.

    P.S. I guess the “glory” days when Iran was a partner of US/NATO are over and chickens have come home to roost? What am I talking about? Well, Iran never had any problems with NATO murdering people for as long it’s not Muslims and for as long as it’s in the interest of Jihad/Islam. E.g. Iran has supported NATO’s attack on Orthodox Christian Serbia in 1999. Even Iran’s general Qasem Soleimani was in Bosnia in the 90s helping NATO and Jihad/Islam separatists (Bosnian Muslims aka Bosniaks) against the Serbs! Iran also fully supports Srebrenica Lie that was 100% invented by Britain. How times have changed and how Muslim World will never change and never learn. To them, NATO lying about and killing non-Muslims good, especially if useful for Jihad, NATO lying about and killing Muslims bad!

    Not really, considering their "burn rate," their level of capital investment, and, most importantly, their projected future capital needs. And then of course there is the dicey financing tricks -- "round-tripping," for example.

    There have been a lot of reported studies on what benefits businesses get from the AIs: the answer -- not much. Even in coding, which should be a prime application because the domain is clearly circumscribed, reports are that humans spend a lot of time correcting AI errors. And, critically, the code is not "maintainable": it's hard for humans to understand what the AI has done and how to upgrade or alter it.

    And then there is the fact that they have already scraped the Web but still need more and more training data, so they are starting to use AI-produced data to train other AIs -- so-called synthetic data. There was a paper a little while ago in Nature predicting the result: let's just say that I think you know how Markov chains work!

    The biggest problem, though, is built into how the LLMs work: they just predict the next word (technically, "token") stochastically. They have no model of the real physical world. They have no judgment or understanding. They are just super-enhanced "auto-complete functions."

    Over the next few decades, some of these problems will be addressed and they will become more useful. But I just saw a guy on YouTube predicting AGI in 2027 (funny, how it is always a year or two from now!).

    Not gonna happen.

    This is just like the dot-com bubble back in the early 2000s. Sure, the Web ultimately became quite important. But Pets.com never really did look credible. In the end, you have to make a profit.

    The decision to open up to mass immigration while promoting radical feminism is not about economics. It’s about a long-standing ideology of Anti-European hatred, that is very old.

    Why is it not happening in “Israel”, or only lately in Japan, how did Orban keep it partially at bay, and why is resistance failing?

    One reason, and one reason only: the Anglo-Judaic power in the world seeks the obliteration of Christendom. The Anglo-Judaic power supports the international Left and has always been its primary supporter. Look at how long they’ve left Cuba under the regime established by Castro. Castro was the darling of the US mainstream media in the late 1950s. Pierre Trudeau let the Soviets come with massive trawlers to fish out the Grand Banks, while getting cucked by Fidel to spawn Justin.

    Look at what Wyndham Lewis wrote about Bertrand Russell’s views of the European Yahoo.

    All the European seems to understand [about war – JPS] is a savoir mourir. That he has to unlearn, as so many people have remarked lately. It is not altogether the fault, it must be conceded, of the people who benefit greatly by this pugnacity of his; the white races seem almost incurably brutal, and always ready, after the regulation press provocation, to slaughter themselves. The breaking of that traditional spirit in them is the most hopeful possibility. Mr. Russell’s solution of this difficulty — namely, that of inherited, or “injected,” military ferocity — is “kindliness.” He says: “And so we come back to the old dilemma: only kindliness can save the world, and even if we knew how to produce kindliness we should not do so unless we were already kindly. Failing that, it seems that the solution which the Houyhnhnms adopted towards the Yahoos, namely extermination, is the only one; apparently the Yahoos are bent on applying it to each other.”

    The white European, in this instance, is Mr. Russell’s Yahoo. “Kindliness” cannot be taught or injected into the Yahoo: therefore the Yahoo must die. That is Mr. Russell’s verdict. But why even pause to consider a solution which he admits (sadly) to be out of the question? By making melancholy faces at the Yahoo he will not turn him from his deep heredity. The possibility of “kindliness” becoming sufficiently prevalent for it to have any influence on the human race would never have occurred to any one except an individual injected not with “kindliness” at all, necessarily, but with liberalism.

    And as to idly taunting the Yahoo with what he can never hope to possess, that is again a proceeding of the same political complexion. A quite practical solution — a thing in a different world altogether to the fanciful generation of a quantity of “kindliness” or anything positive, too positive, of that sort — is, I believe, in process of being applied to this European pugnacity. Nature — let us give her credit for it — has come to the help of her children, and exactly in the way that would suggest itself to Mr. Russell’s physiologist, by way of the glands, namely. I believe that (in one form or another) castration may be the solution. And the feminization of the white European and American is already far advanced, coming in the wake of the war.

    FEMINISM – FEMINISM, THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL, THE HUGE SET ASIDES FOR WOMEN BY SEX – THAT ALL THESE FAGGOT ANGLO “NATIONALISTS” SEEM TO SUPPORT – IS THE PROBLEM.

    Understand, the Anglo-Judaic eugenicist cult considers nearly all of us European descended people to be Yahoos. Look at the idolization of the Chinese, and the disdain of the Irish, among these “race-realists” – These people are not even remotely “pro-white” – they don’t care about white people, if they complain about blacks it’s about begging the Jews to set aside a little room for their glorious Anglo-liberal heritage.

    So, I ask again: what exactly are they doing that negatively affects the the “life prospects” of you and your offspring? Is there really nothing at all except the fact that you do not speak clearly enough for them to understand you?
     
    I've explained it to you and you ignore it. You are incapable of understanding anything that can't be reduced to money or anything quantifiable because you are a rank materialist.

    My little buddy Mr. Anon wrote to me:

    Ultimately, crazy people like you are just tiresome.

    Oh, for sure!

    Y’see, you brought up the subject of the Great Depression, which happens to be a subject I have been researching going back five-and-a-half decades. When I was in high school, I read Keynes’ General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money — cover to cover! — as well as Mises’ Theory of Money and Credit. And I gave lectures on all this at Stanford (in the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems). I actually had an offer to do a post-doc in the field after getting my Ph.D. in physics, but I decided to go into industry instead.

    So, given my extensive knowledge of the subject, I decided that this was a “teachable moment” for you and that I could suggest some basic reading where you might learn something.

    Of course, I know that you find the work of reading books to be “tiresome,” but I thought it was worth a try.

    My little pal also wrote:

    Ya think so?

    Well, actually, I don’t care that much for most of the things that money can buy: I prefer fried chicken to filet mignon, I would rather drink a glass of lemonade than of a fine wine, I buy my clothes at J. C. Penney, and the car I drive is more than a quarter century old. We’re affluent enough that I could have filet mignon, fine wine, and a new car whenever I want, but I just don’t care.

    On the other hand, humans do need to eat, and that is economics.

    Anyway, it is you and your conies here who keep bringing up economic issues involving immigrants, the Great Depression, etc. I just try to correct some of the many errors you guys keep making.

    I’m just sort of the janitor cleaning up your spills on Aisle 3!

    What I really care about, as I keep saying, what I am truly fanatical, indeed militantly obsessive, about is denouncing the Big Lies that are the foundation of our society: and so, I keep insisting that all religions are simply packs of lies; that government exists to loot the productive members of society and turn the loot over to the members of the government and their hangers on; that our “education system” is little more than a gigantic propaganda machine to control the populace; and, of course, that the future of the human race is, obviously, Beige.

    What really has you and your pals upset with me is not what I documented about the money supply in the Great Depression but rather my voicing inappropriate truths about religion, government, “race,” etc., don’t you think?

    My little friend also wrote:

    I bet [my wife’s immigrant] parents despise you.

    Ya think so? Well, they’re dead now, but every single one of their grand-kids were Mischlings, and they seemed happy with that.

    Maybe your fear of immigrants has prevented you from learning how members of other cultures actually do think?

    It’s true that Chinese do tend to view the West as a whole as a bit of a parvenu on the stage of world history. And they do tend to think many Westerners are shallow, materialistic, undisciplined, and anti-intellectual. But they don’t think these traits are genetic: they think they are aspects of degenerate Western culture that can be overcome with effort.

    And, since I was a very studious, disciplined, sober fellow with a wide range of intense academic interests — from math and physics to economics and history — my in-laws seemed to think that I was not that bad.

    Hey! — some of us transcend the degenerate Western culture in which we were raised!

    Anyway, I know you find facts like all this just “tiresome,” but I have refrained from suggesting any more actual books in this comment, since you seem to find that especially tiresome!

    And you still have not told us exactly why, to use your words, the presence of immigrants “negatively affects the life prospects of me and mine.”

    I get that you are not exactly the most articulate guy in the world, but surely you can explain that?

    These are the sort of megalomaniacal behaviors that had led me to characterize Trump last year as our own President Caligula
     
    Not only may have Caligula never said certain things attributed to him, the ancient history of Caligula was intended to smear him and embellish on his actions so as to make him appear to be a fool.

    Historian Aloys Winterling in his biography "Caligula" makes the cause the the emperor was an intelligent and crafty individual whose behavior is understandable in the context of his goal, which was to undermine the Roman Senate and the Roman aristocracy in general. In a context in which the currency of success and conflict was social status, Caligula's "erratic" behavior becomes understandable.

    Appointing his horse to the Senate served as a way to mock the Senators and their quest for status while simultaneously demonstrating how truly inconsequential and impenitent they were. Reviving the maiestas trials in which Senators accused each other of conspiring against the Emperor and sentenced each other to death while professing great love for Caligula again served as a convenient way for Caligula to attack and humiliate the senators. Dressing as a deity and forcing the aristocracy to compare him to Jupiter further humiliated the aristocracy and exposed them as undeniable sycophants and liars.

    One has to be reminded the Roman historians like Suetonius were slanderers and propagandists who worked for the Senate.

    This is not to be construed as defending Trump who is the greatest betrayer in the history of the presidency.

    "... Our economy is being held afloat by the AI Ponzi scheme ..."

    You sure it's a Ponzi scheme? AI revenue is growing rapidly. See here for example:

    "OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said it plainly: “never-before-seen growth at such scale.”"

    "She’s right. OpenAI went from $2 billion ARR in 2023 to $6 billion in 2024 to $20 billion by end of 2025. Now $24 billion run-rate in April 2026. That is 3x per year, sustained, at a scale where 3x means adding billions of dollars every quarter."

    "Anthropic’s trajectory is even steeper. $87 million run-rate in January 2024. $1 billion by December 2024. $9 billion by end of 2025. $14 billion in February 2026. $19 billion in March. $30 billion in April."

    "That last sequence — $14B to $30B in roughly 8 weeks — is hard to make sense of in traditional software terms. Meritech’s Alex Clayton has said he reviewed the IPO trajectories of over 200 public software companies and never saw a growth rate like this. He said that in 2025. It has only accelerated since."

    also:

    "OpenAI announced that enterprise now makes up more than 40% of revenue, up from around 30% last year, and is on track to reach parity with consumer by end of 2026. APIs process more than 15 billion tokens per minute. Nine million paying business users as of February."

    "Anthropic never really had a consumer phase. Enterprise API contracts and cloud provider deals — primarily Google Cloud and AWS — built the base. Eight of the Fortune 10 are now Claude customers. Over 500 companies spend more than $1 million annually."

    That's an awful lot of paying customers for something you think is near worthless.

    Not really, considering their “burn rate,” their level of capital investment, and, most importantly, their projected future capital needs. And then of course there is the dicey financing tricks — “round-tripping,” for example.

    There have been a lot of reported studies on what benefits businesses get from the AIs: the answer — not much. Even in coding, which should be a prime application because the domain is clearly circumscribed, reports are that humans spend a lot of time correcting AI errors. And, critically, the code is not “maintainable”: it’s hard for humans to understand what the AI has done and how to upgrade or alter it.

    And then there is the fact that they have already scraped the Web but still need more and more training data, so they are starting to use AI-produced data to train other AIs — so-called synthetic data. There was a paper a little while ago in Nature predicting the result: let’s just say that I think you know how Markov chains work!

    The biggest problem, though, is built into how the LLMs work: they just predict the next word (technically, “token”) stochastically. They have no model of the real physical world. They have no judgment or understanding. They are just super-enhanced “auto-complete functions.”

    Over the next few decades, some of these problems will be addressed and they will become more useful. But I just saw a guy on YouTube predicting AGI in 2027 (funny, how it is always a year or two from now!).

    Not gonna happen.

    This is just like the dot-com bubble back in the early 2000s. Sure, the Web ultimately became quite important. But Pets.com never really did look credible. In the end, you have to make a profit.

    AI will have its uses, eventually. But, right now, it is way, way over-hyped. And the ultimate AIs will be a lot more clever than just the LLMs — and not nearly as power-hungry!

    $50 billion a year is a lot of revenue for products that provide few benefits. As for correcting AI errors humans spend a lot of time correcting human errors also. As for maintenance humans also find it difficult to understand what another human has done. And in any case one would expect code written by AI to be mostly maintained by AI as well.

    For coding, more of a thing in 2025 or earlier, I think. Using Claude Code in 2026 has shown me:

    1. You can just vibecode to an astounding degree (very loose prompting) and the generated code just works. Amazing.

    2. The generated code I have examined was dutifully tedious but not odd. I have seen much, much worse code written by humans. Much worse. In production.

    3. It's not limited to just generating code, but can be used throughout software development. It can port your code to a new programming language. It can debug and fix your network configuration. It can find exploits in your code (Project Glasswing).

    4. I haven't used OpenClaw myself but there you have a new vista of functionality (at this time YOLO-tier, but that will change).

    Programming is one thing, but the strongest results at this time actually seem to be in maths and physics.

    Actual libertarians are too small and insignificant a group to be the biggest obstacle to anything. The two biggest obstacles to a sensible immigration policy are do-gooders who want to admit immigrants for compassionate reasons and employers who want to admit immigrants to lower their labor costs. The second group contains people who call themselves libertarians and who may even give money to libertarian groups but their main motivation is cheap labor.

    The Iron Dome did an outstanding job of protecting Israel. Only a relatively few of Iranian missiles and drones got through. A high proportion of any damage was due to exploded fragments of incoming munitions AND to Iran's use of missiles with multiple warheads, which are difficult to intercept all of them but this will hopefully not be an issue when Iron Beam is fully deployed, as it will be able to target independent bomblets. There were only a couple of casualties in Israel.

    Meanwhile, Iran suffered significant and grievous damage with many thousands dead and tens of thousands injured.

    You can repeat BS as much as you want but outside of this little echo chamber, no one believes any of the BS that people like yourself propagate.

    If you honestly believe the BS you just posted, then you need to educate yourself. Here you go:

    The phrase “Iron Dome” is often used generically, but Iran’s long-range ballistic missiles were mainly engaged by Israel’s higher-tier systems — especially Arrow missile defense system and David's Sling. Iron Dome is primarily for short-range rockets.

    For the two direct Iran→Israel attacks in 2024, the best publicly supported estimates are:

    ## 13–14 April 2024 attack (“Operation True Promise”)

    Iran launched roughly:
    * 170 drones
    * 30+ cruise missiles
    * 120+ ballistic missiles

    Israeli, U.S., and allied defenses intercepted almost all of them. The widely cited U.S. assessment was that **at least 9 ballistic missiles actually struck Israeli territory/military facilities**. No drones and apparently no cruise missiles got through. ([Wikipedia][1])

    ### Confirmed successful missile impacts

    ### Military targets

    * Nevatim Airbase
    * Multiple ballistic missile hits.
    * Damage described as “minor” or “limited,” including runway/infrastructure damage.
    * Airbase remained operational. ([Wikipedia][1])

    * Ramon Airbase
    * Several ballistic missile hits reported.
    * Minor damage. ([Wikipedia][1])

    ### Civilian targets

    There were **no clearly confirmed direct hits on major civilian population centers** in that April attack.

    However:

    * A 7-year-old Bedouin girl in the Arad area was critically injured by falling shrapnel/interceptor debris.
    * Some minor property damage occurred from debris. ([Wikipedia][1])

    So for April 2024, the best estimate is:

    | Category | Estimated actual Iranian missile impacts |
    | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------: |
    | Military targets | ~9 ballistic missile hits |
    | Civilian targets | 0 confirmed direct missile hits |
    | Debris/shrapnel impacts | Numerous |

    ---

    ## 1 October 2024 attack (“Operation True Promise II”)

    Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles. Israeli and U.S. officials acknowledged that **a significantly larger number penetrated defenses** than in April.

    Public estimates vary because many videos showed debris/interceptor fragments, and Israel censored some impact details at military sites. Open-source analysts and U.S. reporting generally put the number of actual ballistic missile impacts at roughly **20–30**. ([Wikipedia][2])

    ### Confirmed or strongly indicated military hits

    * Nevatim Airbase
    * Multiple direct impacts visible in satellite imagery and videos.

    * Tel Nof Airbase
    * Likely struck.

    * Glilot military intelligence base
    * Missiles reportedly impacted nearby.

    ### Civilian-area hits

    Missiles or warheads impacted in or near:
    * Tel Aviv
    * Hod HaSharon
    * Gedera

    A school in Gedera was damaged. Most casualties were limited because civilians were in shelters. ([New York Post][3])

    ### Casualties
    * One Palestinian civilian in Jericho was killed by falling missile debris/interceptor fragments rather than a direct warhead impact.
    ---
    ## Bottom line

    ### April 2024 direct Iranian attack

    * **Actual Iranian missiles that got through:** about **9 ballistic missiles**
    * **Targets hit:** almost entirely military airbases
    * **Civilian direct hits:** essentially none confirmed

    ### October 2024 direct Iranian attack

    * **Actual missiles that likely got through:** roughly **20–30 ballistic missiles**
    * **Targets hit:** both military facilities and some civilian urban areas
    * **Civilian damage:** limited but real, though far less severe than the size of the barrage might suggest

    A major reason the numbers are hard to pin down precisely is that:

    1. Israel restricts publication of some military impact sites.
    2. Many viral videos showed interceptor debris rather than intact Iranian warheads.
    3. Israel’s defense system is layered, so “penetration” can mean different things operationally.

    You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand
     
    Correct. You cited the “Covid epidemic” as a precipitating event for “inflation”, and tried to pin it all on “newly created money”. But were there no shortages of goods during the onset of Covid due to supply and/or consumer demand? That’s not what I recall—market distortions set in long before the government “passed out lots of money” post-lockdowns. Which also could explain subsequent rising prices.

    but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply
     
    Or businesses see an excuse to raise prices.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen
     
    There are no greedy businessmen? Hmmm. Maybe you’re trying to obscure the role of greedy businessmen.

    Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on.
     
    Oh, so greedy businessmen DO exist. Imagine my shock. Is “expand their operations” a euphemism for ‘raise prices’ or would businessmen never ever try to capture consumers’ “surplus savings” by inflating prices?

    Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.
     
    Is our economy shrinking? Stocks seem to be doing well…

    Replies: @Mark G., @Emil Nikola Richard

    “There are no greedy businessmen?”

    Businessmen are always greedy but their greed does not always result in 9% annual inflation as happened at one point after large amounts of newly created money entered the system following the Covid epidemic. Inflation and rising prices hit full force after the economy opened up and pent up consumer demand caused people to spend the additional money the government had given them. There was a widespread mistaken belief during the lockdowns that they would have little effect on the financial situation of families because of the money they were being handed by the government. If they had known that was untrue they would have been less supportive of the lockdowns.

    You always have to separate rising prices from inflation from rising prices just because of an increase in consumer demand for some item. For example, over the last several years ticket prices for Billie Eilish concerts have been going up. This is not a result of government induced inflation. It is because more and more people were becoming aware how talented Billie was and wanted to go see her. There would be a ceiling on her ticket prices, though. Some people just do not have good taste when it comes to music and therefore have no interest in her.

    “Stocks seem to be doing well.”

    Our current government inflationary policies have led to bubbles in stock and house prices. Young people do not generally own stocks or a house. Rising house prices have led to the average age of the first time home buyer being 40. Thomas Massie, who opposes the inflationary policies of the Fed, has said in his Kentucky primary race that internal polling shows him ahead by 30 percentage points among voters under 50 but 30 percentage points behind among voters over 50. Younger voters correctly intuit government inflationary policies hurt them.

    So nothing happened. People liked their Covid bucks, didn’t know nuthin’ about no fiscal policy, numbers were continuously tweaked here and there, and inflation later dropped.

    Are you sure it isn’t due to 'basic bitch' social contagion/mimicry among the estrogenic set of both sexes?

    Our current government inflationary policies have led to bubbles in stock and house prices.
     
    Assuming that those “bubbles” are supposedly due to “government inflationary policies”, I don’t see a problem. As you say, they’re “bubbles”: Price goes up, price comes down, buy what you can afford, with a discount for waiting until the current bubble pops.

    But of course, you’re dishonestly omitting other actual obvious causes for those price rises/fluctuation that has nothing to do with univariate “government inflationary policies” libertarian crank theory.


    Young people do not generally own stocks or a house.
     
    Young people often do dumb young people stuff, like wasting money on sports gambling or buying expensive Billie Eilish tickets.

    Rising house prices have led to the average age of the first time home buyer being 40.
     
    The Boomers aren’t dying yet, staying in their houses, and hoarding all the good family formation real estate. Many of those Boomers also voted for mass immigration, which distorts the housing market. Solution: Cull the Boomers and the immigrants. Housing abundance miracle! Do it for the young people, Mark. Pick a fight with some vibrants in the strip club parking lot.

    ahead by 30 percentage points among voters under 50 but 30 percentage points behind among voters over 50
     
    In Massie’s district, what’s the ratio of olds to yoof in the electorate? Will the olds hoard the votes and keep the Trump Train running like in other recent primaries? What are the Kalshi/Polymarket odds?

    Closing state borders and creating many truly free, independent nations is the only path back to peace and prosperity.

    I think that this is the direction that the US must go. But literally dissolving the United States will be next to impossible. It would unleash another civil war. And ‘Union’ forces would likely prevail.

    In practical terms, it would be more judicious and effective to simply return power back to the states and gradually shrink the federal government to what it was a century ago.

    The new national agenda must be the restoration of America inside its borders. This will require continued deportations, the end of all ‘affirmative action’ (DEI), and the closing of hundreds of US military installations around the world. Top priorities: No non-essential wars or entangling alliances. Bring America home. US borders on the other hand must be protected by all reasonable means, including lethal force. Our European-derived civilization has become too diverse for its own good. E Pluribus Unum is on life-support.

    America’s one-sided alliance with Israel must also be terminated. No more pro-Zionist interventions. No regime change wars and no more revolving-door foreign aid. This has lead to massive, legalized looting of the US Treasury. Also, duel citizenships must be prohibited among all employees of the federal government. All Israeli lobbies (and domestic Jewish lobbies with connections to Israel) must comply with FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) and register accordingly. After this, there must be substantial oversight.

    Crypto-Israelis must be routed and ejected from all high government positions. Their devious allegiance to a hyper-militarized, foreign state makes them unfit to serve.

    Just for fun try asking Chatgpt to fact check your statement:

    "The Barbary pirates were armed and supplied (and even partially manned) by the northern Protestant countries in Europe."

    Chatgpt responds:

    The claim is misleading and overstated.

    There is a kernel of truth: some northern European Protestants — especially English and Dutch sailors, privateers, and renegades — did join the Barbary corsairs in the 16th–17th centuries. Some converted to Islam and became corsair captains or crew members. ([Wikipedia][1])

    However, the broader claim that the Barbary pirates were “armed and supplied” by Protestant countries is not well supported as a general historical statement.

    More accurate points:

    1) The corsairs primarily operated from North African states such as Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Salé, often under varying levels of Ottoman influence. ([Wikipedia][1])

    2) English and Dutch merchants sometimes made treaties with Barbary states for trade or safe passage, and European powers occasionally provided tribute or naval supplies as part of diplomacy. ([War History Online][2])

    3) Some individual English and Dutch sailors/privateers joined the corsairs, especially during periods of unemployment or political change. ([Wikipedia][1])

    4) But Protestant governments were also frequent enemies of the Barbary corsairs. England and the Dutch Republic repeatedly fought them, bombarded their ports, and tried to suppress piracy. ([Wikipedia][1])

    So:

    “Partially manned by northern Protestants” → partly true.

    “Armed and supplied by northern Protestant countries” → overgeneralized and misleading, unless referring narrowly to diplomatic tribute/trade arrangements rather than deliberate sponsorship of piracy.

    The implication that Protestant states broadly controlled or backed Barbary piracy is not supported by mainstream scholarship.

However, the the English were carefully cultivating relations with the Turk shortly thereafter.

    So I wrote that and quickly turned the bolded text into a query:

    https://share.google/aimode/PJpALU0gW1pRfPiIy

    Now with respect to your “answer” from chatGPT regarding Protestant powers and the Barbary Pirates:

    chatGPT is pretty heavily biased towards “whig history” versus Google, which is a lot more free-wheeling right now. You can get AI to say all sorts of things. I notice you’re not questioning the United States giving them a 36 gun frigate and other vessels and paying them a substantial fraction of the money in the treasury. The Spanish were trying to crush the Barbary pirates in the war the Americans had ducked out of in 1783, the British were able to hold Gibraltar because of their Barbary allies: they were effectively allied powers.

    Before I start giving you my own queries to look at, I’ll start with this quotation, which should be easy enough to verify:

    “It is not to the interest of the Great Maritime Powers to clear the Mediterranean of the Barbary States… If they did not exist, it would be the interest of England to raise them.”

    -John Baker Holroyd, the 1st Earl of Sheffield. In his influential 1783 pamphlet, Observations on the Commerce of the American States

    For example, I gave this query to google (in AI mode, this isn’t the answer that instantly pops up with a google search –WARNING THE LINKS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS):

    The Danes supplied the Barbary pirates with timber and gunpowder as tribute

    https://share.google/aimode/wFhk2QYSTB04whFjK

    If you ask more specific questions, you can get better answers.

    Protestant states provided the Barbary pirates with advanced ships and professional sailors that allowed them to operate freely in the Atlantic, even raiding Newfoundland.

    It was the general policy of Great Britain to offer large tribute to the Barbary states as part of a de facto alliance that was deemed highly beneficial to the destruction of rival states independent trade and coastal security. If it didn’t exist it would be to our benefit to establish it

    This is what most people don't know - that organs are almost always retrieved from LIVING people. Once the heart ceases and blood stops flowing, organs begin to atrophy quickly and aren't useful.

    That is why, if you volunteered yourself for organ donation with the state you live in you'll want to give that a serious rethink. Because those that are hospitalized, unconscious and on the state organ donor list are the most vulnerable for being declared "brain dead" and their families pitched for that harvesting. I'm talking in the USA, folks!

    Short story: Late Feb 2021, on a Wednesday, 36 yr old Lauren had an intense, unrelenting headache all day. Finally, that evening, her parents took her to the hospital where she collapsed. Doctors found two aneurysms in her brain, they fixed them and she was in recovery but unconscious (via drugs they administered or naturally so? I am not sure.) By Fri or Sat, she was declared "brain dead" and the organ donation people had talked to her parents (she was on the state list). On Sun, they agreed for her organs to be harvested and on Mon, it was done. THAT FAST!

    That happened in metro Cincinnati and the story haunted me even though I never met Lauren. Her parents are friends of a friend of mine - that's how I heard of this. A young, 36 yr old body full of ripe, valid organs worth A LOT of money. How much did that hospital make on those? I can't imagine those parents don't regret doing that so quickly but, they got pitched when they were vulnerable, exhausted and distraught. Some family member should have intervened.

    Bottom line: These things happen in hospitals all over America on the regular and the donors are not deceased when the organs are removed.

    (Lastly, of note, her aneurysms occurred 3 days after taking the brand new Covid clot shot.)

    Your entire comment is excellent, however, what you failed to mention is that just because the patient is comatose does not mean the patient is unconscious. Additionally, there is no standard clinical definition of ‘brain dead’, and in most cases, the hospital doesn’t even do an EEG to search for brain wave activity. Finally, they don’t use anesthesia on the patients for organ removal, because it can affect the viability of the organs.

    How many of these patients are being carved up alive, comatose but conscious, is anyone’s guess.

    I got wise to the situation 35 years ago, when a co worker told me about his very pretty sister. Her job was to dress to the 9’s and ‘counsel’ grieving families, and sell them on organ donation for their loved ones. She made big money doing it. He didn’t know then what we know today about the business, but he knew enough then to tell me and others that he didn’t trust the whole setup. He wasn’t an organ donor, and he suggested that we rethink that stamp on our drives license as well.

    What really landed it for me is that my sister had a boyfriend in high school in the 1970’s, who had ended up in a coma for 9 months due to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He said that he could hear everything while he was in the coma, before finally recovering. The organ donation programs that exists today is a literal horror show, and medicine is filled with ghouls.

    "Inflation can have different causes beyond government action."

    No, inflation is an increase in the money supply and it is the government that increases the money supply. Rising prices is not inflation. Rising prices are the result of inflation. You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen, Putin's Ukraine war or supply chain disruptions as happened under Biden. It also has a reason to obfuscate about it being a hidden tax. People do not object to a tax they are not aware of. Calling it a hidden tax is something that is done frequently and it is considered by many to fall under the umbrella of taxes. If you disagree it is a tax then that is your opinion, not a fact.

    Inflation usually shows up in capital goods before consumer goods. Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on. This misallocation of scarce resources helps cause this country to become poorer. As I already said, the newly created money goes to those with political connections first and this makes the country poorer too. Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    Replies: @Jenner Ickham Errican

    Correct. You cited the “Covid epidemic” as a precipitating event for “inflation”, and tried to pin it all on “newly created money”. But were there no shortages of goods during the onset of Covid due to supply and/or consumer demand? That’s not what I recall—market distortions set in long before the government “passed out lots of money” post-lockdowns. Which also could explain subsequent rising prices.

    but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply

    Or businesses see an excuse to raise prices.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen

    There are no greedy businessmen? Hmmm. Maybe you’re trying to obscure the role of greedy businessmen.

    Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on.

    Oh, so greedy businessmen DO exist. Imagine my shock. Is “expand their operations” a euphemism for ‘raise prices’ or would businessmen never ever try to capture consumers’ “surplus savings” by inflating prices?

    Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    Is our economy shrinking? Stocks seem to be doing well…

    "There are no greedy businessmen?"

    Businessmen are always greedy but their greed does not always result in 9% annual inflation as happened at one point after large amounts of newly created money entered the system following the Covid epidemic. Inflation and rising prices hit full force after the economy opened up and pent up consumer demand caused people to spend the additional money the government had given them. There was a widespread mistaken belief during the lockdowns that they would have little effect on the financial situation of families because of the money they were being handed by the government. If they had known that was untrue they would have been less supportive of the lockdowns.

    You always have to separate rising prices from inflation from rising prices just because of an increase in consumer demand for some item. For example, over the last several years ticket prices for Billie Eilish concerts have been going up. This is not a result of government induced inflation. It is because more and more people were becoming aware how talented Billie was and wanted to go see her. There would be a ceiling on her ticket prices, though. Some people just do not have good taste when it comes to music and therefore have no interest in her.

    "Stocks seem to be doing well."

    Our current government inflationary policies have led to bubbles in stock and house prices. Young people do not generally own stocks or a house. Rising house prices have led to the average age of the first time home buyer being 40. Thomas Massie, who opposes the inflationary policies of the Fed, has said in his Kentucky primary race that internal polling shows him ahead by 30 percentage points among voters under 50 but 30 percentage points behind among voters over 50. Younger voters correctly intuit government inflationary policies hurt them.

    The question is: why has the USA come to such a state that the voters are given only a choice between evils? And not just minor evils, but dreadful, inhuman, frightening evils.
     
    you're obviously an intelligent fellow. Is it possible, that you don't know the answer to your question?

    Or, are you seeking after something more definitive, like: why has the USA come to such a state of slavish fealty to Jewish supremacists?

    Indeed, the same question can be put: why has the dying Western world, come to such a state of slavish and catastrophic fealty to Jews?

    To answer that question, (which is the salient question, as we're engaged in a disastrous war in Iran, and our governments are actively, [indeed, feverishly] doing all they can to destroy our respective nations), we need only look to Russia a hundred years ago, to see the exact same phenomena. Where a cabal of supremacist Jews used treachery and guile to gain control of Russia, and thereby destroy the lives and well-being of the Russian people, and all those within reach of Russia's significant might, where the Jews did all they could to terrorize the Christians who had fallen under their tender mercies, (genocidal sadism).

    Exactly, like the West today. It's deja vu all over again.

    I've contemplated this question, and I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the interaction between a nation's elites, and the peasants. Sort of like the Wall Street / Epstein class, vs. the typical Main Street American.

    The elites set themselves up as a sort of feudal class, whereby they consider the peasants so far beneath them, that our only purpose is to provide the elites with perks and cannon fodder and playthings - our children - for their amusement. Just as in feudal times.

    And where the Jews come in, is as intermediaries between the two classes, as a special class of people, who's contempt for the peasants (Amaleks), is as bad or worse than the Gentile elites, but who can be charged with bilking the peasants, (either by taxes or other Wall Street types of exploitation), out of what meager means they have, so it can be lavished upon the elites, (like the Romanovs, or the modern 'Epstein class'- like the British royal family, or the Bush's or Clintons or Trump and his family).

    Until one day, the elites wake up, and the Jews have taken it all over, like they did in Russia, and now, have done so today in the dying West.

    Only the Romanovs would not have agreed to allow the Jews a free-hand to unleash their notorious "mercies" upon the Russian people, so the Romanovs had to be 'dealt with'. Trump, on the other hand, has no such qualms. Indeed, he's perfectly placed between the legacy 'heritage Americans / and Chabad, (supremacist Jews). Only he's a stealth member of the latter, while pulling-off a plausible impersonation of the former.

    The only alternative to this tragedy, (that plays out over and over), was tried in the 1930s, and almost broke the cycle of wars and exploitation, but alas, it was defeated, and is now universally berated as the most evil period of human history !

    Never Again!

    The man most responsible for that most 'evil period', is universally considered the most evil man that ever lived !

    Ask anyone. 'Who was the most evil man who ever lived?, and you'll get the same answer, everywhere in the Jew's vassalage, from Russia to London to Berlin and Maine.

    However if you ask that question in Gaza, or Beirut, or Tehran, you'll get a different answer.

    IOW, there is only one way out of this, and it is though 'the Jew'.

    End the ((Fed)). Or continue to enjoy your enslavement, and genocide.

    Two corrections to your corrections, since accuracy matters more than who scores.

    On Baidu, you're right that Baidu led Google in Chinese search before Google's 2010 exit, and I'll state that plainly. But the history doesn't say what you want it to. Baidu was founded in 2000 on $1.2M from US venture firms, and then they took $10M more from Draper Fisher Jurvetson and IDG, and listed on NASDAQ in 2005. Its search technology came from RankDex, the link-analysis algorithm Robin Li developed in 1996 while working at a Dow Jones subsidiary in New Jersey—an algorithm that predates PageRank and that Larry Page's PageRank patent cites as prior art. Baidu is a genuine achievement, but it is also a US-venture-funded, US (NASDAQ) listed company built on its founder's pre-Google American work. That's not a story of indigenous innovation in China under a Chinese culture/system defeating the West, and "you don't get Chinese culture" sits oddly on a DFJ-backed Nasdaq company. What Google's 2010 exit did was remove Baidu's only serious competitor and lock in a durable monopoly, and that is precisely the point. Competition was contesting that market; the exit ended the contest.

    On banks, I never argued size determines competitiveness — that's the argument I was arguing against. You've answered a claim about competitive innovation with a statistic about asset size, which is a category substitution. ICBC is larger than Citi. ICBC is also an instrument of state-directed credit allocation; its scale measures the volume of policy lending it intermediates, not a superior product. The original question was whether it could win global corporate finance or capital-markets business in an open market on the merits. Asset rankings don't touch that.
    And this is the recurring pattern in your argument. Total bank assets, total phone units, total GDP—every one of these scales with a population four-plus times that of the US. They substantially measure how many Chinese people there are. The size-neutral measures—per-capita GDP, profit per unit, return on invested capital, share won in open third markets where neither side is protected (or subsidized)—are where competitiveness actually shows, and those are far less flattering to China. To wit, China's per-capita GDP is roughly a fifth to a sixth of the US level, and that's the number total-GDP framing hides. A phone maker selling more units at thin or negative margin into a protected home market is not demonstrating the same thing as a firm capturing the vast majority of an industry's global profits. Aggregates that track population aren't evidence of competitive superiority. They're evidence of population alone.

    Two historical points you raised also need correcting, and they don't support what you want.

    The Korean War didn't end in a Chinese victory over the US. It ended in 1953 in an armistice along the 38th parallel—essentially the prewar boundary. China did secure its real objective, a buffer state on its border, and that's a genuine accomplishment worth stating accurately. But an armistice restoring the status quo ante is a stalemate, not a win. The reason China isn't "occupied" the way you say Japan is has nothing to do with China winning—it's that the Korean War was never a war for the occupation of China. You're comparing a negotiated armistice in a proxy-border war to a total war that ended in unconditional surrender, and treating the different outcomes as different degrees of victory when they're different kinds of war.

    And Japan isn't "militarily occupied." The occupation ended in 1952 with the San Francisco Peace Treaty. US forces are in Japan under the 1960 mutual security treaty, which is an agreement between two sovereign states that Japan is free to abrogate. Relabeling a treaty alliance as an occupation seven decades later is the same move as "you don't get Chinese culture," which is to say, an unfortunate sophistic move of renaming a thing to make an argument the facts don't support.

    You're right on one part of the Japan point, however, about how the US did indeed pressure Japan economically in the 1980s, as the Plaza Accord and the semiconductor agreement were real. And China is genuinely harder to pressure that way because it's a far larger market and not a US security dependent. That's a fair structural observation.

    But the Japan analogy, told accurately, runs totally against you. Japan in the 1980s was the economy that was going to overtake the US (go read all the Chalmers Johnson stuff out of MIT)—and yet it didn't. The reason for that is mostly not the Plaza Accord; rather, it's that Japan's investment-heavy, export-led, state-coordinated growth model overextended into an asset bubble and then couldn't rebalance. The lost decades were largely self-inflicted by exactly the soft-budget dynamics now visible in China's property sector and local-government debt. If you want the Japan parallel, that's the honest one: the last country that was going to overtake the US on this growth model hit the structural wall the model builds in.

    China may be so large that it, unlike Japan, has succeeded in overtaking the US in economic size— it did, on GDP at purchasing-power parity, around a decade ago, though it remains behind at market exchange rates. But that is a fact about scale of population, again, not about the model. China's growth model isn't remotely a Chinese innovation; instead, it's the East Asian developmental-state template, with high mobilized savings, suppressed household consumption, state-directed investment, export orientation, and it was pioneered by Japan and subsequently run in turn by South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, well before China adopted it most recently and at the largest scale, per force. A borrowed model can't be evidence of a superior one. And the template has a known later chapter: every prior country that ran it eventually hit the same growth-transition wall when investment returns fell and consumption hadn't been allowed to develop. Japan hit it hardest. That China is now arriving at that same wall, which is clearly visible in the property sector and local-government debt, isn't a surprise. It's the part of the script that was always coming.

    Quick correction, since you've restated my position rather than answered it—doing it twice now, first on Vietnam, now here. I didn't concede being wrong about Google's 2010 exit; rather, I said Google left after the Aurora hacking campaign and government censorship demands, and that Baidu led the market before then. Both still stand. The venture-funding and RankDex points aren't a retreat—quite the opposite. They correct your claim that Baidu is a pure indigenous-innovation story. A NASDAQ-listed company built on its founder's pre-Google algorithm that was funded by DFJ and IDG is a real achievement, but not the uniquely Chinese one you're describing.

    On banks, you've moved the goal posts again. You've now said Chinese banks don't want to compete globally. That was my point. If they don't compete in open global finance, their asset-size ranking isn't evidence of competitive superiority; instead, it's merely evidence of state-directed lending volume. You've agreed with me and then strangely declared victory.

    On cruise ships, yes, China built the Adora Magic City, but with technical partnership from Fincantieri. That said, it's a genuine achievement. However, shipbuilding was never the sector in dispute. I've said repeatedly that China is competitive-to-dominant in capital-intensive heavy manufacturing. The US-dominated sectors we've been arguing about are finance, leading-edge semiconductors, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, branded global platforms, et. al. A cruise ship doesn't speak to any of them. You've given me a strong example of a point I already granted. And of course, the risk in that sector, like the others where China dominates, is poor efficiency and risk of overcapacity. Different vertical, same story.

    I'll leave it there. The thread's on the page; readers can judge it for themselves.

    Recognizing those facts of reality does not require the anarchist to make any prediction as to how long government in general, or any particular government, will endure.

    Replies: @Mark G.

    “Inflation can have different causes beyond government action.”

    No, inflation is an increase in the money supply and it is the government that increases the money supply. Rising prices is not inflation. Rising prices are the result of inflation. You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen, Putin’s Ukraine war or supply chain disruptions as happened under Biden. It also has a reason to obfuscate about it being a hidden tax. People do not object to a tax they are not aware of. Calling it a hidden tax is something that is done frequently and it is considered by many to fall under the umbrella of taxes. If you disagree it is a tax then that is your opinion, not a fact.

    Inflation usually shows up in capital goods before consumer goods. Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on. This misallocation of scarce resources helps cause this country to become poorer. As I already said, the newly created money goes to those with political connections first and this makes the country poorer too. Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand
     
    Correct. You cited the “Covid epidemic” as a precipitating event for “inflation”, and tried to pin it all on “newly created money”. But were there no shortages of goods during the onset of Covid due to supply and/or consumer demand? That’s not what I recall—market distortions set in long before the government “passed out lots of money” post-lockdowns. Which also could explain subsequent rising prices.

    but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply
     
    Or businesses see an excuse to raise prices.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen
     
    There are no greedy businessmen? Hmmm. Maybe you’re trying to obscure the role of greedy businessmen.

    Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on.
     
    Oh, so greedy businessmen DO exist. Imagine my shock. Is “expand their operations” a euphemism for ‘raise prices’ or would businessmen never ever try to capture consumers’ “surplus savings” by inflating prices?

    Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    Tigipko was part of the more “pro-Russian” benefactors in the Ukrainian society, so this is the benefactor of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, when it was still under Moscow, and “Inter”, when it was the more moderate of the Ukrainian channels. In 2022, you can see his family was pro-Zelensky. But now, they move away from Zelensky.

  • This is an interesting read. I am not sure of the point.

    1. I have never met anyone who thought slavery was invented and practiced only whites.

    2. I have never met anyone who thought slavery was only a US practice.

    The crux is that slavery in the US was contentious from the beginning among the founders and contemporaries because the practice was completely contrary to the founding the country. Slavery in light of the Declaration — the reason for the revolution demanded a kind nod and wink concerning liberty and the rights of humans in the bounds of government. It was a sword in the entire enterprise.

    And that is the tragedy – not slavery itself. But that the body men who engaged in a violent revolution for far less encroachment(s) — actually embraced it. They ate the forbidden fruit — knowing that it was contrary. All of the nonsense about considering the founders in their time simply fails the test. The men of their time actually engaged warfare to deny any control by Great Britain, but deemed it fine for themselves. And that enterprise was largely based on even “one drop” of dark african blood.

    There is no other way to examine the matter. Regardless of the Supreme Court’s rhetorical hoola hoops about discrimination based on dark skin — history rebukes the very notion that did not exist and does not exist. Why else would states be racing — to re-establish their supremacy. Because skin color doesn’t matter?

    Theory verses reality — President Thomas Jefferson is the prime example of mind versing reality and mind (theory) loses, but remains a noble goal, worth persuing.

    Shahed drones use a 2 stroke engine and have a top speed of 120 mph which means they can be shot down with a prop plane. If most of Russia's drone attacks involve Shahed knock-offs then 90% is possible if Ukraine has early detection systems. The Ukrainians are in fact on video shooting one down with an AK-47. I simply said it is possible to which you seem to take offense. I don't claim to know the actual rate.

Might want to expand your sources if you are unaware that Russia's main drone uses the same type of engine used in scooters and lawn mowers.

And then he was driven off his job twice thru Jew terror because he stood up to their genocidal ideology. --- Was any priest doing that? Any bishop?

    The claim is that the soft-budget reckoning is not a future event still being awaited. It is present, visible, and compounding now. Evergrande defaulted in 2021, Country Garden followed, new-home sales fell by roughly half from peak, and developers that drove about a quarter of Chinese GDP are insolvent or on state life support.
    ... forcing Beijing into multi-trillion-yuan refinancing swaps.
     
    Are you sure you understand soft budget constraint? Evergrande defaulted, Country Garden followed means one thing. The Chinese government was not bailing them out soft budget constraint style. Beijing certainly refinancing swaps at a big discount. How else to deal with the issue? In contrast, the US government bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to precluded them from bankruptcy. Implicaton, they could continued to function as ongoing concerns and could get into trouble again and again. And of course, AIG, GM, and etc were also bailed out by the US government.

    In general, most infrastructure projects are soft budget constraints items. Because all of them take a long time, often more than 10 years, to recover the investments.

    People(companies) learning or relearning complicated manufacturing have to go through, a learning curve which could be steep. At the beginning, higher failure rates is inevitable. But eventually they would master the skill. Failure rates would go down rapidly. More important, if Chinese manufacturers have a lot of failures, they could compete internationally. Is Chinese manufacturing non-competitive internationally at present?

    Currently, most Western economists do not talk about soft budget constraint. Rather they talk about "excess capacity" which is equally non-sensical. The iron-rule of manufacturing is marginal cost= marginal price. If marginal cost is greater than marginal price, the more one sells, the more money one will lose. Implication: Any excess capacity would disappear rapidly.

    While Westerners are busy criticizing China, the threat of another kind of imbalance or mismatch is getting more and more imminent. That is, the mismatch or imbalance between America dollar people hold and "Made in America" products those dollar could buy. If America could make everything competitively, then it could print trillion and trillion of American dollar without inflation. If not, inflation is a constant threat. Too much US dollar chasing too little US made products. It is a bomb waiting to explode. Not if, but when? Why does the price of gold rise from the low of $300+ per troy oz. to the recent high of $5500 per troy oz.? Does gold's rapid rise from $35 under the Nixon time gold standard to $800+ ring a bell?

    Replies: @arete

    This is the sharpest version of the objection in our entire thread, so it’s worth my being precise about where I believe that it lands and where (IMHO) it doesn’t.

    On Evergrande, you’ve half-identified something real, but you’ve got the causality backwards. The soft budget constraint was never primarily a claim about the moment of default. In Professor Kornai’s original formulation, it’s a claim about the entire preceding period leading up to that default—the years credit is extended on terms a genuine market test would reject, because lenders, borrowers, and local officials all expect growth or refinancing or state backing to cover the gap. This is roughly analogous to the Fed Put installed by Greenspan in the US, but far more explicit and formalized and intrusive into the economy. The malinvestment is created during the soft phase preceding the inevitable credit squeeze. To wit, Evergrande borrowed and built for two decades under exactly those lax-governmental conditions, and that is how it accumulated $300 billion in liabilities building housing in cities that didn’t need it. The 2021 default isn’t the absence of a soft constraint; rather, it’s the soft constraint’s accumulated bill finally exceeding the system’s capacity to keep papering over it. A hard budget constraint would have cut Evergrande’s credit off a decade earlier, when its projects stopped penciling, and there would have been no $300 billion hole to default on. The default is the reckoning the framework predicts, not its refutation.

    You’re right that US bailouts—Fannie, Freddie, AIG, GM—are themselves a soft-constraint phenomenon, and I’ll concede that openly. “Too big to fail” is a real, well-criticized distortion. But the difference is structural versus episodic. The US bailouts were crisis-triggered, politically contested, partial, and rare. The Chinese version—with state banks lending to SOEs, LGFVs, and developers at policy direction as the normal continuous operating mode of the system—is much more structural and permanent. And note that the GSEs like Freddie got into some of the worst trouble during the mortgage crisis even though they were legally barred from the worst tiers of credit, and this is because they most resembled Chinese operations, with explicit government backstop and obviously party-driven appointees to the senior/executive ranks. So I am willing to criticize these structurally soft budget constraints wherever they exist, including in the US. Thus, those others reading here and claiming (falsely) that I am an anti-Sino or Sinophobic are way off base.

    Meanwhile, the LGFV refinancing swaps you mention are themselves a textbook soft-budget mechanism: Beijing converting unpayable hidden local debt into longer-dated, lower-rate official bonds precisely so the entities never face a hard constraint. You cited the swaps as evidence the constraint is hard. They are one of the clearest live examples of it being soft.

    On infrastructure, long payback isn’t malinvestment, and I’ve granted that by already noting that some Chinese infrastructure that looked wasteful turned out to be productive. But “long payback” and “negative lifetime return” are different things, which I already also mentioned by referencing Marks famous quote. A bridge that takes fifteen years to pay back is a good long-duration investment. A bridge in a county with a shrinking population that will never carry enough traffic to cover maintenance, let alone capital cost, is malinvestment on any horizon. The test isn’t whether an asset has returned cash yet; instead, it’s whether there’s any horizon on which its discounted lifetime cash flows are positive. For a large share of LGFV infrastructure the answer is no, and that isn’t a timing artifact.

    Your excess-capacity argument is where the internal contradiction shows very clearly. You argue that “excess capacity” is nonsense because marginal cost equals marginal price, so sustained production below cost is irrational and self-correcting. That well-known economics principle is true as far as it goes—in a competitive market with hard budget constraints. And that’s the catch. Excess capacity persists in Chinese steel, solar, aluminum, and increasingly EVs and batteries precisely because the producers are not subject to the hard constraint that your argument assumes. A firm that can borrow indefinitely from state banks at below-market rates, draw on local subsidies, land, and tax breaks, and faces political pressure to maintain output and employment can and does produce below cost for years. The losses are absorbed by the banking system and ultimately by households through repressed deposit rates, harming the vast majority of Chinese. So your marginal-cost argument doesn’t refute the soft budget constraint. No, it silently assumes the constraint away. And notice how this also contradicts your Evergrande argument, where you said the constraint is hard; however, here you assume it’s hard and conclude excess capacity can’t exist. But it demonstrably does, and the EU, US, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Indonesia have all imposed duties on subsidized Chinese overproduction. Either the constraint is soft and the framework holds, or excess capacity is real and unexplained. You can’t run both arguments at once. I hope that’s now clear to you.

    On the dollar overhang and gold, I have to say, that’s a separate argument, and a real one. However, it’s also a topic change, and not a legitimate response. We call that “moving the goalposts,” which is a good way to say it as we excitedly await the World Cup here in North America, but I digress… The key thing to note is that my “China’s growth model has a structural flaw” argument and your “US has a fiscal and monetary vulnerability” claim can both be true, and I’m not going to bother engaging on that one at this time; and certainly, your second doesn’t refute my first. I’ve engaged the dollar question seriously elsewhere and I’m happy to again, but at some other time. Certainly, gold rising to $5,500 reflects real rates, central-bank diversification, geopolitical risk, and momentum, et. al., so it isn’t a clean referendum on the dollar’s reserve status, as I’ve stated many times before. And it absolutely isn’t an answer to whether Chinese investment has been efficiently allocated. If you want to argue the dollar, that’s its own conversation. It isn’t the appropriate one to be raised here.

The government did not looked into Evergrande and see how it fared in the market from year one. It simply covered the gap with more and more money year and year.

    Of course, you understand that your imagination could also apply to any failed company and government with huge debt.

    Describing the Chinese people, Einstein said it best: “a peculiar, herd-like nation often more like automatons than people.” The same man who formulated the theory of special relativity and brought about the greatest paradigm shift in physics since the beginning of Newtonian mechanics also identified the essence of the Chinese people as “herd-like” and being akin to “automatons.” Even worse, he said: “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

    Oh, and lest I forget, he also called them “dirty.”

    This is Einstein himself we're talking about. Let that sink in.

    I too am highly suspicious of the claims that Einstein invented anything. Working as a patent clerk would offer lots of opportunities to steal ideas. I listen to a lot of physics lectures, and they often say that Einstein’s ideas were preceded by other scientists saying similar things. Not that an Ashkenazi person is incapable of doing great things in physics, but their intelligence is highly verbally tilted, so their “contributions” are more in areas like Hollywood movies, political dogma, cultural activism, etc.

    I think the Ashkenazim chose Einstein to be a person for the Gentiles to worship, so they facilitated his theft of the physics ideas of Gentiles. I believe I read that scientists dissected Einstein’s brain after his death and found nothing unique about it, such as extra neurons or better connectivity.

    Anyway, I had read the news article were it was stated that Einstein’s diaries did indeed state such views about the Chinese. I can’t say I can really disagree. As bad as the Ashkenazim are, I think contemporary Chinese are far worse – don’t fight, don’t reproduce, don’t practice eugenics, don’t have “a greater purpose for existence” or any “spirituality” or monumental goals, etc. Yes indeed, Einstein was right that the Chinese are “mindless automations.”

    That a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany could have harbored such racist and Orientalist views on the Chinese is hardly surprising given the widely accepted cultural prejudices at the time. My point in rebutting that poster is to cite Adolf Hitler as someone who did not harbor such views on the Chinese and the Japanese. I couldn't care less about Einstein's claim to fame based on his 1905 paper on his Theory of Special Relativity that has been criticized for plagiarism. But I question the unqualified adulation heaped on Einstein because there have been many uncelebrated Jewish scientists who have accomplished much more than him.

    Anyway, here's another quote from the Führer:



    I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified.

    This is some kind of Malthusian, neo-mercantilist model
     
    It may look that way in a one-sentence summary, but it isn't necessarily. Are we also assuming that Malthusians and neo-mercantilists are wrong? It's been working well for the Chinese!

    And that is the optimistic case of assuming that the money didn't come from one of the many forms of fraud that seem to be the economic lifeblood of so many immigrant communities.

    But if immigrants perform work, they add value to the economy.
     
    There are plenty of ways to work that do not add value. They may even subtract value.

    That means there is more total value to be distributed in the economy.
     
    Assuming they are adding value, that has to be credited against their inevitable subtraction (consumption is subtraction, and everyone is a consumer, whether or not they are a producer). Practical experience suggests that most immigrants are net subtractions. Indeed, for Third World immigration (the kind we mostly get) the net present value of the subtraction is at least a million dollars per head.

    Increasing aggregate demand raises the demand for labor. But more immigrants also increases the supply of labor.
     
    Wherever those immigrants were before they emigrated had both that aggregate demand and supply. What's wrong with letting supply meet demand there?

    You are just assuming your own hypothesis
     
    Inasmuch as a hypothesis is an assumption (a stated one), I suppose I am assuming my own hypothesis, as any good hypothesizer should do!

    wages as a percentage of total GDP is somehow a proxy for what the native wage rate would be without immigration.
     
    We have data for the US economy prior to mass immigration, and we have data for the US economy after mass immigration. "Compare and contrast" would seem to be the minimum that any social scientist ought to do.

    it doesn’t consider anything about what drives the denominator of returns on Capital.
     
    Technically, returns on capital aren't a denominator, but rather a numerator in a parallel equation. Your point, though, is that I didn't address capital changes, which is true. I didn't address it because long term returns on capital haven't changed much. (They appear to be a little higher lately, but I think that's just a bubble, and even if I'm wrong it's too recent to correspond to immigration anyway.)

    the changing ratio of Labor to Capital in the economy is mysterious and complicated

    I agree with this. In an ideal free market, workers are paid what they are “worth”, which should also be equal to the value they add. So in the free market everyone on average kind of nets to zero — they consume what they produce and leave mostly nothing for the rest of society.

    (Incidentally, this is one reason we shouldn’t necessarily worship the idea of importing high income people — they earn more, but if they just spend it on their own consumption they still net to zero contribution to others. Same as a guy who lives off minimum wage).

    Of course we don’t have a pure free market and people also add and subtract all kinds of positive and negative “externalities” — taxes paid, crimes committed (both violent and financial), cultures changed. Etc.

    I suppose I am assuming my own hypothesis, as any good hypothesizer should do!

    Fair enough. But you shouldn’t also use that assumption as proof of the original hypothesis. E.g., “If immigration didn’t lower the ratio of wages to capital in GDP, then the ratio wouldn’t have gone down, but it did go down, so . . .”

    Your point, though, is that I didn’t address capital changes, which is true. I didn’t address it because long term returns on capital haven’t changed much.

    If the ROI of capital stayed the same but the percentage of GDP earned by capital is up, that would seemingly imply that there is just more capital per worker now. (Capital per capita, one might say). If true, that would be a non-wage rate and non-immigration explanation.

    Btw, I recall that some French economist named Picketty was all the rage among lefty pseudo-intellectuals maybe 10-15 years ago because he wrote a tome that purported to explain why Capital would inevitably multiply faster than labor and therefore take over all the wealth. No one actually read his book and the Cliff Notes version of his thesis made no sense to me. (It was based on something superficial, like that compound interest from investing necessarily grows faster than productivity gains of labor). But people acted like it was important at the time. If you end up doing a deep dive on the Capital vs. Labor issue you might check him out to see how his theory aged.

    Finally, we had a discussion on GDP accounting awhile ago and one of the things I realized is that it is kind of arbitrary and seemed (to me) to basically double count the economic value of investment (counting it once when created and then again over time as it produces a return). A secular change in Wage/Capital components of GDP could be partly rooted in nothing more than a flawed GDP accounting method.

    The problem has been well-known, pretty much forever, to statisticians and econometricians. This is basically the difference between Gross Domestic Product and Net Domestic Product.

    And everyone has always known that NDP is a better measure than GDP.

    So, why the focus on GDP? Basically, because it is easier to measure statistically. And economists have concluded that the difference, over at least the short to medium term, does not really matter that much.

    Probably a bigger problem is the issue of index numbers when the basket of consumables changes, especially when the change is due to advances in technology. A PC today is thousands of times more powerful than the first PCs. So, when you buy a PC today for $1,000, should we count that part of your income as really being $1,000,000? That would obviously be crazy, but there is no clear solution to the problem.

    And, then, how do we value government "services"? GDP is basically valued on a cost basis. So, if the Civil Rights division of DOJ costs $100,000,000, that is considered an addition to GDP of $100,000,000, even though the division may actually impede economic activity.

    And similarly for civil-rights compliance officers in HR departments in private businesses, etc.

    Which brings me back to one of my own themes of the "parasitic verbalist overclass": we should always ask ourselves: how much money would people voluntarily shell out of their own pocket, without government requirements or inducements, for certain goods or services?

    My guess is that about half of the "jobs" carried out by white-collar workers are not productive in that sense.

    Anyway, GDP does not and does not attempt to take any of this into account.

    Which is one of the reasons we need to think more carefully when thinking about why young people are pessimistic about the future.

    Incidentally, I agree in general with your comment, but thought this additional information might be useful.

    So in the free market everyone on average kind of nets to zero — they consume what they produce and leave mostly nothing for the rest of society.
     
    Not sure how you get this. Some people are very productive, producing far more than they consume. Others are highly unproductive or even counterproductive. Noticers™ may or may not associate groups with these tendencies.

    Incidentally, this is one reason we shouldn’t necessarily worship the idea of importing high income people — they earn more, but if they just spend it on their own consumption they still net to zero contribution to others.
     
    I agree we shouldn't automatically want to import high income people, but the reason isn't that everyone "nets to zero".

    we don’t have a pure free market and people also add and subtract all kinds of positive and negative “externalities” — taxes paid, crimes committed (both violent and financial), cultures changed.
     
    From the point of view of society as a whole, taxes and crimes aren't externalities, they're internalities, but I suppose if we were buying and selling visas in a free market, taxes and crimes would be externalities.

    you shouldn’t also use that assumption as proof of the original hypothesis. E.g., “If immigration didn’t lower the ratio of wages to capital in GDP, then the ratio wouldn’t have gone down, but it did go down, so . . .”
     
    But I didn't assume that wage share went down, that was a documented fact.

    If the ROI of capital stayed the same but the percentage of GDP earned by capital is up, that would seemingly imply that there is just more capital per worker now.
     
    Well, specifically that there is more capital gaining profits from workers than before, perhaps capital from abroad, or maybe it's just a result of Fed money printing. But either way the bottom line is that workers' labor does not command the benefits that it used to.

    "Capital deepening" could be an alternative explanation, but workers can still reap the benefit of capital deepening rather than the capital owners, but the stats show the opposite happening: workers are getting screwed despite there being more of them. The parsimonious explanation is that workers are in a weaker position from being flooded by foreign competition.

    some French economist named Picketty
     
    His argument, per Wiki, is that "the rate of capital return in developed countries is persistently greater than the rate of economic growth, and that this will cause wealth inequality to increase in the future."

    I would add that if true, it should already have caused inequality to increase in the past, but neither half of his theory seems to have been true for the US before 1970.

    we had a discussion on GDP accounting awhile ago
     
    Yes, we did.

    one of the things I realized is that it is kind of arbitrary and seemed (to me) to basically double count the economic value of investment (counting it once when created and then again over time as it produces a return)
     
    I concurred it's "arbitrary" in the sense that it can conflate activity with production, but I had the impression you wanted a bigger indictment. I disagreed about "double counting investment", for the reasons I gave in the previous discussion.

    A secular change in Wage/Capital components of GDP could be partly rooted in nothing more than a flawed GDP accounting method.
     
    That's might be a reasonable point, but since IMHO the "flawed GDP accounting method" is the GDP's conflation of activity with production, while the wage share of GDP is simply paychecks, the bottom line is still that paychecks are shrinking irrespective of whether anyone is productive or merely active. And immigration remains the parsimonious explanation.

    Again - I will just address one thing which encapsulates all the mistakes you make. Your claim is that Google was forced out of China and that's the only reason Baidu is a success. Wrong on both counts. When Google was legally operating in China - Baidu was STILL #1. Google left on its own because it refused to abide by Chinese laws (because then the US couldn't use Google to spy on and hopefully sabotage China). That's Google's fault.

    Never mind... I can't just address one.... You are also very confused. Most of the executives that went of course want Chinese market share. But if they can't abide by Chinese laws they will NOT be allowed. Like those US banks. Also - I think you need to go back and check who are the largest banks in the world. US banks do not dominate the top 10.

    Apple and Tesla CEO's went because they know how to deal with the Chinese. China is their biggest manufacturing base and their 2nd biggest revenue source. Neither of those companies has superior products to their Chinese competitors. That is why the US has to use NON market measures to try to keep Chinese competition out of the US. The US even tried to kill Huawei because it began to pass Apple by every measure...

    The US has tried to do to China what it did to Japan in the 80's and 90's when Japanese companies began to pass US companies in sector after sector. The difference is China didn't lose in its war with the US in the 1950's the way Japan did in the 1940's - so China is not militarily occupied by the US like Japan is. It also is a larger market than the US so can use its market heft. Chinese companies regularly outsell their US counterparts even though most Chinese brands have zero US presence. Japan is only 1/3 the market size of the US so could never stand its ground in the same way.

    When SMIC and Huawei broke the 14nm barrier and produced a 7nm chip 5 years earlier than the US thought possible - it wasn't China that announced it. Same when they followed up with a "near 5nm" chip.... It was westerners who examined the chips. Again - you don't get Chinese culture.

    Two corrections to your corrections, since accuracy matters more than who scores.

    On Baidu, you’re right that Baidu led Google in Chinese search before Google’s 2010 exit, and I’ll state that plainly. But the history doesn’t say what you want it to. Baidu was founded in 2000 on $1.2M from US venture firms, and then they took $10M more from Draper Fisher Jurvetson and IDG, and listed on NASDAQ in 2005. Its search technology came from RankDex, the link-analysis algorithm Robin Li developed in 1996 while working at a Dow Jones subsidiary in New Jersey—an algorithm that predates PageRank and that Larry Page’s PageRank patent cites as prior art. Baidu is a genuine achievement, but it is also a US-venture-funded, US (NASDAQ) listed company built on its founder’s pre-Google American work. That’s not a story of indigenous innovation in China under a Chinese culture/system defeating the West, and “you don’t get Chinese culture” sits oddly on a DFJ-backed Nasdaq company. What Google’s 2010 exit did was remove Baidu’s only serious competitor and lock in a durable monopoly, and that is precisely the point. Competition was contesting that market; the exit ended the contest.

    On banks, I never argued size determines competitiveness — that’s the argument I was arguing against. You’ve answered a claim about competitive innovation with a statistic about asset size, which is a category substitution. ICBC is larger than Citi. ICBC is also an instrument of state-directed credit allocation; its scale measures the volume of policy lending it intermediates, not a superior product. The original question was whether it could win global corporate finance or capital-markets business in an open market on the merits. Asset rankings don’t touch that.
    And this is the recurring pattern in your argument. Total bank assets, total phone units, total GDP—every one of these scales with a population four-plus times that of the US. They substantially measure how many Chinese people there are. The size-neutral measures—per-capita GDP, profit per unit, return on invested capital, share won in open third markets where neither side is protected (or subsidized)—are where competitiveness actually shows, and those are far less flattering to China. To wit, China’s per-capita GDP is roughly a fifth to a sixth of the US level, and that’s the number total-GDP framing hides. A phone maker selling more units at thin or negative margin into a protected home market is not demonstrating the same thing as a firm capturing the vast majority of an industry’s global profits. Aggregates that track population aren’t evidence of competitive superiority. They’re evidence of population alone.

    Two historical points you raised also need correcting, and they don’t support what you want.

    The Korean War didn’t end in a Chinese victory over the US. It ended in 1953 in an armistice along the 38th parallel—essentially the prewar boundary. China did secure its real objective, a buffer state on its border, and that’s a genuine accomplishment worth stating accurately. But an armistice restoring the status quo ante is a stalemate, not a win. The reason China isn’t “occupied” the way you say Japan is has nothing to do with China winning—it’s that the Korean War was never a war for the occupation of China. You’re comparing a negotiated armistice in a proxy-border war to a total war that ended in unconditional surrender, and treating the different outcomes as different degrees of victory when they’re different kinds of war.

    And Japan isn’t “militarily occupied.” The occupation ended in 1952 with the San Francisco Peace Treaty. US forces are in Japan under the 1960 mutual security treaty, which is an agreement between two sovereign states that Japan is free to abrogate. Relabeling a treaty alliance as an occupation seven decades later is the same move as “you don’t get Chinese culture,” which is to say, an unfortunate sophistic move of renaming a thing to make an argument the facts don’t support.

    You’re right on one part of the Japan point, however, about how the US did indeed pressure Japan economically in the 1980s, as the Plaza Accord and the semiconductor agreement were real. And China is genuinely harder to pressure that way because it’s a far larger market and not a US security dependent. That’s a fair structural observation.

    But the Japan analogy, told accurately, runs totally against you. Japan in the 1980s was the economy that was going to overtake the US (go read all the Chalmers Johnson stuff out of MIT)—and yet it didn’t. The reason for that is mostly not the Plaza Accord; rather, it’s that Japan’s investment-heavy, export-led, state-coordinated growth model overextended into an asset bubble and then couldn’t rebalance. The lost decades were largely self-inflicted by exactly the soft-budget dynamics now visible in China’s property sector and local-government debt. If you want the Japan parallel, that’s the honest one: the last country that was going to overtake the US on this growth model hit the structural wall the model builds in.

    China may be so large that it, unlike Japan, has succeeded in overtaking the US in economic size— it did, on GDP at purchasing-power parity, around a decade ago, though it remains behind at market exchange rates. But that is a fact about scale of population, again, not about the model. China’s growth model isn’t remotely a Chinese innovation; instead, it’s the East Asian developmental-state template, with high mobilized savings, suppressed household consumption, state-directed investment, export orientation, and it was pioneered by Japan and subsequently run in turn by South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, well before China adopted it most recently and at the largest scale, per force. A borrowed model can’t be evidence of a superior one. And the template has a known later chapter: every prior country that ran it eventually hit the same growth-transition wall when investment returns fell and consumption hadn’t been allowed to develop. Japan hit it hardest. That China is now arriving at that same wall, which is clearly visible in the property sector and local-government debt, isn’t a surprise. It’s the part of the script that was always coming.

    You’re mischaracterizing China’s current economy as being driven by export-oriented manufacturing industries similar to other East Asian countries. While that was true during the Dengist “Market Reform” Era from 1990s to the 2000s until the GFC in 2008, China has since restructured its economy away from export-oriented manufacturing industries to 1). infrastructure investments (both in-country as well as overseas BRI projects); 2). technology development (Made in China 2025); 3). services industries (education, hospitality, healthcare, travel/tourism).

    China’s household consumption per capita is still way below the average in Western countries. Likewise, China’s welfare industries are largely dependent on household savings rather than government spending which is expected to increase in the coming decades. That’s “demand-side” economics which means more aggregate demand which will lead to increased consumption.

    Japan and the other East Asian countries do not possess a vast hinterland nor do they have populations as large as China. Thus, they have no other choice but rely on their export-oriented manufacturing industries for economic growth. That makes their economies trade-dependent unlike China which has a domestic market large enough to sustain economic growth without relying on export markets.

    What the Plaza Accord did to Japan was to forcibly financialize its economy and forbid its government from funding MITI industrial policies. That’s in addition to the US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement which imposed quotas on Japanese semiconductor exports as well as mandated Japanese imports of American semiconductors. That’s not true in the case of China today where its industrial policies such as the Made in China 2025 which includes its semiconductor investments are booming due to Trump’s trade wars as well as US export restrictions on Huawei and semiconductors.

    Lastly, your arguments regarding China’s property industry might sound valid but they are not quite accurate. The two examples you cited — Evergrande and Country Garden — had liquidity problems due to their investments in non-housing industries and overseas ventures, respectively. Evergrande diversified into sports stadiums, amusement parks, entertainment troupes, electric vehicles, etc. with its founder Hui Ka Yan pleading guilty to criminal charges of financial fraud.

    https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/evergrande-china-hui-ka-yan-guilty-plea-f14292

    Meanwhile, Country Gardens had invested in its biggest overseas project called “Forest City” by reclaiming land in Johore Bahru, Malaysia. The Western media had misreported the location of that “ghost city” in China which is patently false.

    https://interestingengineering.com/culture/why-did-chinas-country-garden-create-this-ghost-city-in-malaysia

    Other than these two high-profile cases, most of the Chinese real-estate developers that have since gone bankrupt had overbuilt in third-tier and four-tier cities. The demand for housing is still growing despite the property downturn due to rising urbanization in the inland provinces. The missing part of the property market is the lack of economic opportunities in the third-tier and four-tier cities where the excess inventory of empty houses is concentrated. Future economic growth will come to fruition after infrastructure projects are constructed and manufacturing industries are relocated from coastal cities to inland provinces.

Instead of taking a stand on contentious issues of the day; Mid East conflict for one, by focusing on weather patterns and fluctuating temperatures, here, there and everywhere, [lol] they could say they were on to bigger and more important matters; the death of the whole human race, of all life on earth! How grandiose!

    The suffering and injustices of people alive today, now, such as the Palestinians for example, were dismissed by these self -professed guardians of life on earth as petty matters. They think that makes them moral? Not having to take a stand when real people are really facing horrific injustices today, because there’s more important matters then the plight of people on earth today! It’s a delusional ploy; “we’re uber moral for we care not about petty problems affecting some today but about all life on Earth! For all time”! That ploy is an escape from authenticity.

    That’s why I now admire Gretta Thornberg; at first when she was a climate change hysteric, I saw her as just another manipulated person looking for meaning who found it in the whole end- of -the world- millennial -apocalyptic -global -warming cause. But with the televised Gazacaust, she became authentic; she still had some un brainwashed brain cells working and “woke up”. Rare in these climate change fanatics, or any brainwashed people, but it happened with Greta. THAT’s a triumph of the human spirit, in these times.

    "quite some difference definitionally from actual tax revenue"

    Well, that is an opinion, not a fact. I have a different opinion. The hidden inflation tax is better in some ways than direct taxes. For example, during the Covid epidemic the government created and passed out lots of money to try to offset the destructive economic effects of the lockdowns. When the inflationary effects of the newly created money showed up later it was attributed to greedy businessmen raising prices. Businessmen were no more greedy then than at any other time. The rising prices were from government money creation.

    These rising prices helped caused Biden to lose. Trump has not really ended Fed inflationary policies and that, along with higher oil prices from the Iran war, have kept prices from coming down. The Republicans will do poorly in the midterms. They may lose the presidency in 2028, followed by a resumption in high levels of immigration.

    When the government creates money, those who get it first before prices rise benefit the most. These are usually people with political connections. A country where people become wealthy through political connections rather than productive activity is a country that will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    So not actually a tax at all. Thanks. Inflation can have different causes beyond government action.

    For example, during the Covid epidemic the government created and passed out lots of money to try to offset the destructive economic effects of the lockdowns. When the inflationary effects of the newly created money showed up later it was attributed to greedy businessmen raising prices.

    What businesses raised prices, and what was their excuse for doing so?

    "Inflation can have different causes beyond government action."

    No, inflation is an increase in the money supply and it is the government that increases the money supply. Rising prices is not inflation. Rising prices are the result of inflation. You can see specific prices going up and down due to shortages or surpluses or changes in consumer demand but a general across the board increase in prices eventually occurs when government expands the money supply.

    The government has an incentive to obscure its role in creating inflation and rising prices, thus attributing rising prices to things like greedy businessmen, Putin's Ukraine war or supply chain disruptions as happened under Biden. It also has a reason to obfuscate about it being a hidden tax. People do not object to a tax they are not aware of. Calling it a hidden tax is something that is done frequently and it is considered by many to fall under the umbrella of taxes. If you disagree it is a tax then that is your opinion, not a fact.

    Inflation usually shows up in capital goods before consumer goods. Businesses think low interest rates signal surplus savings and expand their operations due to a belief people are richer than they really are. This creates a bubble that pops later on. This misallocation of scarce resources helps cause this country to become poorer. As I already said, the newly created money goes to those with political connections first and this makes the country poorer too. Any country where people become rich through political connections rather than productive activity will eventually have a shrinking economy.

    Racism has nothing to do with skin color. It arises out of a tendency present in all cultures, to devalue ‘the others,’ whose inferiority is sought in their ‘being,’ in their ‘nature’.” (p.124) Slavery itself creates differences so massive that it is impossible to overcome them. When that happens, the others are regarded as inferior to the extent of belonging practically to a different type.
     
    Who wrote this, Jews? They’re certainly putting it into action. Where does Trump get the idea of bombing Iran off the earth in a wondrous American genocide?

    Follow the money.

    How many American slave owners were black?

    In 1830, there were approximately 3,775 free black individuals who owned around 12,740 slaves in the United States. By 1860, this number may have increased, with estimates suggesting that around 20,000 slaves were owned by black individuals at that time.

    Within Black communities, these individuals were sometimes ostracized or regarded with suspicion, as their actions conflicted with collective struggles for freedom. White elites, on the other hand, often pointed to Black slaveownership as a way to defend the legitimacy of slavery itself, arguing it was not solely a white institution.

    The author showed that Muslims are the greatest enslavers in history and now many commenters are protesting. It should be pointed out that the sub-Saharans sold to Whites were saved from castration as happened to those sold to Muslims. The Muslims castrated them not only to have them work in harems but also to make use of them as women, so those sold to Whites were also saved from being sodomised by Muslims. And when Whites banned slavery the Muslims continued with the practice. Yet, Whites are the worst slavedrivers while Muslims are extolled for treating their slaves well according to some humane Koranic instructions. Yeah, castrated and sodomised.

    Greek “Orthodoxy” is an evil anti-Christian religion that seeks to reduce Jesus Christ to a dead letter. It is a front for a horde of navel-gazing egomaniacs whose desire for moral depravity and ethnic chauvinism drove them to intimidate their very own bishops to defy the government instituted by the Church Fathers, such an attitude set the stage for the decline of the East as a whole to the comparatively honest Muslims.

    Andrei Martyanov is just plain full of shit.

    You can't track the submarines of any country due to saltwater. It doesn't allow the transmission of electromagnetic signals which is why submarines have to be near the surface to communicate. This has been a limitation of submarines since WW1 and Andrei does not have a solution.

    France like most nuclear powers always has a nuclear submarine deployed. You can't first strike the country without retaliation.

    Andrei should stay in his lane and go back to telling us that Ukraine is about to collapse in his rambling sentences and Borat accent. His dreams of mass murdering the French are most likely the result of cognitive dissonance over the great 3 day SMO.

    I’ve never understood the claim that Edward Kennedy passed the Hart-Celler Act. He spoke in favor of it, but the Congress voted for it, and Johnson ratified it. But I’ve heard now for 20+ years online that it was the Catholic Kennedy who put it in place.

    This site shows the Congress voted overwhelmingly for it. Yet Edward Kennedy, instead of Lyndon Johnson and the Republicans and the Democrats takes the fall for it. I’m not saying anybody needs to like the Kennedys. My Irish grandfather voted for Nixon in 1960. The Warren Court set up this country for radical change, and Catholics had virtually nothing to do with it.

He not only was quite enthusiastic about the Hart-Cellar Act but also:
