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…

Those tracks are paint-by-numbers superficial on-the-nose retro kitsch. Copy of a copy of a copy. Absolutely zero originality.

Soy Boy Loy wrote to me:

I thought the state was about to collapse. We are bankrupt!

I have said many, many times that a “soft landing” is possible, but that it requires someone with the common sense of Thomas Massie, who really is a great guy or, at the very least, Ike or JFK, who were far from perfect but who both had some basic common sense.

You see anyone like that likely to become the next President?

Alas, the collapse of the current regime does not mean we will spontaneously transform into a beautiful libertarian anarchy, and I have not claimed that we will. The American people believe in a government, and so a government they will have — they know what they want and deserve to get it, as Mencken said, good and hard.

Soy Boy also wrote:

Sounds like you think the ol’ gal as a few more decades in her.

Not in the current form: Stein’s law — “Whatever can’t go on forever, won’t.” One way or another, things will change dramatically in the next few decades, but, sure, we will probably still have a government. Hey! — maybe we could actually restore the Constitutional American Republic!

As I keep trying to get through to you, an anarchist is simply a person who recognizes that government exists to loot the productive members of society and hand the loot over to the members of the government and their hangers on, and that governments routinely engage in actions — theft (“taxation”) and mass murder (“war”) — that almost everyone acknowledges to be serious crimes if carried out by private individuals.

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.

All an anarchist can do is to do his own small part to encourage other human beings to honestly face up to the truth of what government is.

“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.

Mendel-like young women get the opportunity – there is an old Bible saying many are called, but few are chosen. She is chosen, isn’t she? Don’t you guys tell us that endlessly?

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.

Gang warfare. It always happens as they suck out all wealth from the society – they start going after each other. Weaker they are more vicious they become.

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.

“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 ..”

Marx thought so but he was wrong. Workers are paid less than the value they add (the difference being Marx’s “surplus value”) else there would be no point in hiring them. You hire a worker when they will produce more than you are paying them just as you buy a machine when it will produce more than you are paying for it.

“… 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.”

This ignores taxes and inheritances. Also patents and copyrights which are for a limited time only. Jane Austen is long dead but people still read her books.

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 isn’t just with AOC. She’s just your typical politician. When she began to move away from her pro-Palestinian stance and toward a pro-Israeli stance, that’s when I knew she had her eyes on higher office.

Because if you want to climb upwards anywhere in American politics, you have to get through the gatekeepers. It’s part of the deal. And that means you must kiss the ring. It’s a Zionist ring.

It really is as simple as that. And, it’s an outrage.

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.

The “impending -calamity -due- to -manmade- climate -change”, narrative, all false, was concocted by holier than though scientists and their acolytes, who did not want to deal with real contentious political problems in the world but wanted power none the less. 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.

The hidden inflation tax is better in some ways than direct taxes.

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?

Interesting and I don’t buy it for one minute. Please tell me you are not using Mr D Souza’s calculations.

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.

“The spokesmen for Whites will be whoever speaks up for them.”

There is a plethora of them. It’s the norm to siren out against your strict racial fealty test.

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. He says that the decision to attack Germany has already been made and then turns to France as if it is in the package.

People say “It was the Israelis” (nowadays) or “It was the CIA and the joint-chiefs” (still today, more commonly in the past).

Can’t people put 2 + 2 together? You think it couldn’t have been done without the agreement of J. Edgar Hoover, characters like Earl Warren, the whole judeo-masonic establishment of the USA? It could never have been done.

Here’s what probably happened. A high level meeting of Freemasons and Jews (like most of the members of the Supreme Court, the leaders of the FBI and intelligence agencies, the top officials in the executive branch) likely had a literal “secret meeting” like the meeting of the Sandhedrin at night, and agreed that a potential Kennedy dynasty was the greatest threat to “Anglo-American Liberty” since the birth of the son of James II. What do you want to bet that’s how James II was removed as well?

Walt Disney and Gene Roddenberry were apparently connected with the Rosicrucian order in California. Sirhan Sirhan signed up to teach himself “self-hypnosis.” Do you believe that?

At this point these type of stories should be paid no mind. The mudshark was 30, with 3 kids, dating a violent convicted felon, who ended up taking her life. I’m not one for victim blaming in a lot of the stories on this site, but this woman’s poor choices contributed as much to her death as the violent groid who stabbed her.

I’d wager she often defended her buck to any friends or family who questioned her “relationship” with him, and would consider all of us regulars on here racists & bigots for not wanting our sisters/daughters/cousins/friends dating violent orc criminals.

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.

https://voteview.com/rollcall/RH0890177

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. Why the blame is placed on the Kennedys after decades of Roosevelt, Truman, and very liberal Eisenhower.

Gerald Ford and George Bush both voted for it.

It is not unusual for the speaker to intend one meaning and the listener to hear
what he wants to hear, but you must concede that only a very small number of
people have an interest in semantics, and together we might be half the total.

The spokesmen for Whites will be whoever speaks up for them.

The MOST powerful group in the country. The most powerful group in the world.

There will be many vying for that role.

Yeah, you’re a Jew, Seraphim. Your ugly words depict you.

“If there was NO International Socialism (Communism), there would have been NO National Socialism”.

Yes, Communism’s other name was International Socialism.

“The Soul of Communism is the Soul of Judaism”.

In short, if there were NO Jews–there would have been NO Hitler. But because there are nasty Jews, Hitler had to come to power to stop them. The Jews were working to take over Weimar Germany and do to Germany what they did in Russia. What stopped the Bolsheviks in the Weimar, was Hitler–the Catholic party, like it was in Austria was too kind to stop the filthy Jew.

I read Mein Kampf’s first 100 pages. I, as a Catholic, was stunned and horrified by what I read. The Jews ruled Vienna; they marched in the streets chanting their genocidal ideology “nations are a capitalist construct”; and he complained that the German side of the Catholic Church in Austria was Slavizing and not upholding their own culture. 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? What was the Catholic Emperor of Austria doing about the Communist subversion of Austria???

Hitler had to do it all.

The Catholic Church was a COMPLETE failure. As a Catholic, I would like to apologize to Hitler. It was left to him, and him alone to stop the Jews. The whole situation disgusts me.

What lead to the Holocaust was Napoleon and the rise of the Masons and the Protestants that gave the Jew liberty to spew his filth across Europe.

The Catholic Church failed in supporting Europe and Europeans went awhoring after other ideologies that would. It’s all very sad and tragic.

So Jew Seraphim—you can take your ugly talk–…

“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.

Looks like Xi and Trump made a deal, Iran vs Taiwan

How do you figure this out?

You literally can’t even make a comparison!!! Iran is a “friend of convenience” to Chinkland and also true the other way around. LOL!!!

Meanwhile Taiwan is a friend and ally of the US which the US is required by law to defend.

By the way, what Trump and his handlers are trying to implement in Amerika is the exact same totalitarian regime that they have in China: zero freedom of speech, one party rule, 24/7 surveillance, and social credit for all except fro the oligarchy.

I detect yet another case of TDS!

Any religion that tasks its adherents with extreme mental gymnastics in order to render its absurd doctrine more palatable is probably not true and ought to be discarded. After 2000 years, Christians are still grappling with their absurd dogmas- this latest article for example- that tries to imbue a deeper spiritual layer upon a book of ill conceived ethnic fairy tales.

The Iran War is just the last War for Israel, the 7th nation “in five years” that Wesley Clark warned about.

The crazed think tanks and State Department, filled with Zionists Jews pledged to homelands both in Israel and Eastern Europe will once again shift to Power, to the Democrats, as they did when Obama came into power. Tori Nuland was Cheney’s little helper before she headed Obama/ Biden’s 2nd overthrow of Yanukovych’s democratically elected government, saying the 100,000 Galicians and Western Ukrainians (of Ukraine’s 50 million who elected Yanukovych twice) had spoken! The Kagans, Krystals, Antony Blinkena and all our politicians married into the Tribe– Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump (and Giraldi claims Trump is now Jewish), Ashley and Hunter Biden, Kamala, etc– care nothing for REAL Americans, nor does DC care in general. Too much money to be made in War Corruption.

Dictator Zelensky will likely follow his fraudster friends to Israel if Russia once again turns up the heat. Russia may have to hit a NATO country hard to see if and when they respond.

The CIA and Giraldi are more responsible for all our foreign policy disasters than Trump or any of our elected Figurehead Presidents. Make Israel Greater Again has been the CIA’s motto since James Jesus Angleton ran foreign policy FOR Israel.

His “friend” XIt stain wants him there, probably to advertise some variation of paying “homage to the king” for the rest of the Chinklanders.

Herbert Hoover was a good man. He just found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and had a major propaganda war waged against him.

I.e. only white exploit others?

Yes, the Pope is not necessary. But we must be careful that by denying his pretentions not to deny the Church. Why did Jesus founded the Church and sent the Apostles to teach the nations to keep his commandments if there is no need of it? How do we know about his teaching if not from the Church?

I thought he said that the Chinese will keep farm prices *high*, and I was wondering why he would want that, since driving up prices isn’t good for Americans (AFAIK).

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.

Sounds to me like a:

silly fussing about abstract “numbers.”

The phrase everyone is uttering constantly is affordability. That is the sound of people becoming poor. Unable to buy a house

Cancel immigration and deport, deport, deport. Housing “abundance” miracle! Democrat voters deserve to pay dearly for housing because of their pro-immigration votes. That right there dismisses half of the “housing affordability” uttering. Pay up, cunts!

car,

Yes, cars are expensive relative to past years. Those who really need them will find a way to pay for them. Where I am, there are new luxury cars/suvs/pickups everywhere. Obviously some people are able to buy stuff.

pay for medical insurance, pay for medical expenses in spite of having insurance because of copayments and deductibles etc.

In spite of what socialists may think, advanced healthcare isn’t a right. Too many genetically/intentionally unhealthy people in the system (including “migrants” not paying for shit) are gonna make insurance and everything else expensive. Perhaps we need a eugenic and behavioral culling, either deliberately planned and/or precipitated by a fiscal crash. Millions must cry.

But government spending? Ain’t no brakes on that train, bub. Where’s constituency for stopping that?

If you went to Mass and also took Protestant Communion, pray tell us Zekenskyy’s exalted houseboy and tree-top, cum-catcher, what were the responses to your pre-communion requests for Matzo and a liter of Manischewitz?

The term ‘slavery’ simply refers to the routine theft of a significant portion of the value of a person’s labor, never typically all, as there are usually some ‘overhead’ expenses involved in regard to food, shelter, clothing, etc.

The preceding term, the descriptor, ie ‘chattel’, ‘sex’, or ‘wage’, simply describes the means of this theft of labor, ie via as antiquated and cumbersome physical property, ie as ‘chattel’, and hence the term ‘chattel slavery’, or via a person’s ‘sexuality’, ie the term ‘sexual slavery’, or, amongst the most efficient and profitable of all, through their pay, ie their ‘wages’, and hence the term ‘wage slavery’.

I don’t use the term ‘cheap labor’ as as intended it’s too nice of a term, a term of propaganda invented in the early 19th century by those historically involved in chattel slavery and it’s trade, to sell people on this poison. [I’m not too rigid about this ;-), I’ll accept the term ‘poison’ as well in lieu of ‘cheap labor’, though I still won’t accept the term ‘cheap labor’.]

As most healthy people won’t freely allow themselves to be enslaved, whether as chattel, sexual, or wage slaves, they more often than not have to be in a state of brokenness and defeat first.

In the 18th century and before, you had African and other tribes who had been defeated in battle, which were then preyed upon as a source of chattel slaves. Not dissimilarly, China was first crushed and brought low in the first of two Opium Wars, before their large scale predation by the Anglosphere as wage slaves (ie so called ‘cheap labor’) began. [Uber northeastern ‘liberal’/’progressive’ FDR’s grandfather had made his fortune in the illegal Chinese opium trade. And did some of FDR’s other ancestors made their fortunes as New England slave dealers?]

From a [great] distance and not much thought, a chattel slave owner’s apparent love and compassion towards their chattel slave might appear real, just as a pimp’s compassion toward his sex slave prostitute might, or, the compassion of a cheap labor exploiter towards their wage slave migrant might as well.

Of course, however, in each of these instances and upon closer examination, the apparent compassion is quite obviously faux and not real.

At the heart of it, the chattel slave owner, the pimp, and the wage slave migrant exploiter, each care about only one thing, the value of the ill-gotten labor they are systematically stealing from these unfortunate people. [Of course these predators will take any faux ‘virtue signal’ points they can glean from this exploitation, or ill gotten political power as well in the case of their chattel and, or, wage slaves.]

These people ‘care’ for those whom they exploit in the same way that the fox ‘cares’ about the chicken or the thief ‘cares’ about his or her mark, in other words they don’t care about them at all. Only themselves.

If they did truly care about them they wouldn’t be exploiting them in this way.

The Lawrence family of Massachusetts textile factory magnates financed both the construction of Lawrence ‘Immigrant City’, Massachusetts, and, as part of their effort to force a recalcitrant South to adopt the North’s wage slavery (ie ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’) system, financed the construction of it’s infamous sister city as well, ie the abolition center of Lawrence, ‘Bleeding Kansas’.

1850’s Bleeding Kansas, with it’s localized war for political control of the state fought out between guerilla proxies of wage slave advocating Northern industrialists and chattel slave advocating Southern plantation owners, was a microcosm of the coming US Civil War, a no win war for most, whether North or South.

[Not coincidentally, modern uber ‘progressive’ Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren chose Lawrence ‘Immigrant City’ to launch her 2020 presidential campaign from.]

The morality of these things is in no way upon the side of the amoral advocates of the ideology of cheap labor and institutionalized division known as ‘progressive’ Multi-culturalism, and never has been.

The coalburner had it coming, no sympathy.

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.

Maybe they got this one from Joss Whedon. 2:15-2:20 if you are not up for the whole scene.

Anthony,

I understand why my answer sounds to you like, “God is beyond you, therefore stop asking.” That is not what I mean, though I may not have stated it carefully enough.

The claim is not that every moral difficulty disappears by saying “mystery.” If the Hebrew Scriptures are merely the tribal record of an ancient people projecting violence onto heaven, then Christianity cannot simply baptize that record and call it revelation. On that point, I agree. The question is not small.

But the Christian answer does not begin by granting metaphysical supremacy to the Hebrew authors. It begins with Christ.

Christ receives Moses and the Prophets as His own witnesses. He does not treat them as the record of an alien tribal deity. He does not say, “Moses gave you one god, but I reveal another.” He says Moses wrote of Him. He opens the Scriptures after the Resurrection and shows the things concerning Himself in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms.

That does not make Joshua easy. It does mean Joshua cannot be judged as a self-contained tribal war text, sealed off from the rest of the revelation.

This is also why I do not think the Jewish authorities were simply faithful readers of their own Scriptures when they condemned Him. Christ says they had the Scriptures and missed the One to whom the Scriptures bore witness. They used the letter against the Lord of the letter. That is not fidelity to Moses. It is the hardening that can happen precisely among people who possess holy things.

On child sacrifice: no, the worship of Moloch and the judgment of God are not morally equivalent.

That does not make the death of children easy. It does not make Joshua gentle. It does not make Numbers 31 or Judges 11 simple. But there is still a difference between men offering children to demons as worship and God exercising judgment over life and death.

Your objection, I think, goes deeper than Joshua. It is really an objection to divine judgment itself. Once the death of one child in judgment becomes impossible in principle, then the Flood, Sodom, Egypt, the fall of nations, the death of the innocent, and the Last Judgment all come under the same accusation. Joshua is not an isolated embarrassment. He is one face of the larger terror: that God is not only mercy as we would prefer mercy to be, but Judge.

I do not say that lightly. I do not read these texts without disturbance. I do not think any Christian should.

But I cannot place God in the dock and ask Him to justify Himself before the moral grammar of my age, as though my horror were already a final and purified measure of justice. Conscience is real. Reason is real. The moral law is real. But man is still a creature, and a fallen one. We can know truly; we cannot know exhaustively. We can recognize justice; we cannot master every judgment of the living God.

That is not anti-intellectual. It is simply the creature remaining a creature.

You are also right to reject the idea that knowledge itself is bad. Christianity is not a cult of ignorance. Adam’s sin was not that he desired truth, but that he grasped at knowledge in disobedience, as though communion with God could be bypassed and seized. There is a difference between seeking wisdom and making oneself judge over the source of wisdom.

I cannot give you a clean answer that makes Joshua harmless. I do not think such an answer exists. The conquest remains terrible. The death of children remains terrible. The Old Testament remains full of judgments that break against the modern mind, and sometimes against the Christian heart as well.

But the Christian does not solve that by cutting Joshua away from Christ, nor by turning Joshua into a standing permission for sacred violence. Both moves distort the text.

The Church reads Joshua under Christ: as judgment, type, warning, history, shadow, and spiritual warfare, not as a modern ethnic charter, not as Zionism, not as racial holy war, and not as a permission slip for private vengeance.

That may still not satisfy you. I understand.

But I do not think Guyénot’s solution really removes the difficulty. It only relocates it. If the Hebrew God is dismissed as a tribal projection, then Christ’s own reception of Moses and the Prophets becomes the next problem. The question then is not merely Joshua, but whether Christ knew what He was receiving and fulfilling.

That is where I remain. Not because Joshua is easy, and not because horror should be silenced, but because I cannot read Moses, Joshua, the Psalms, the Prophets, the Cross, and the Resurrection as rival fragments. They belong to one terrible and merciful judgment of God, whose fullness is revealed only in Christ.

This is just a feedback loop anyway.

Yeah, in fact a feedback loop might be an improvement.

The current situation is more of a downward spiral. The more recent the immigrant, the more negative their balance sheet effect is.

Ukraine will be governed by Moscow, as usual.
North Korea will keep its nukes, for defence.
The US will butt out of Asia, where it does not belong.
israel will end its pointless occupation of Palestine.

Adolf Hitler, liberator of White people and historic mass murderer of them.

Tell that to the White Nationalists who think that Hitler is some kind of a White Knight. Don’t get me wrong here; I am not condoning what Hitler did but merely stating what he thought of the Chinese and Japanese. That was my rebuttal to the remarks attributed to Einstein who is an over-rated plagiarist.

I have learned a lot about economics from reading Mr. Hudson’s interviews here at Unz. This time, however, I was disappointed to see him provide cover for Israel by portraying the neocon fomented wars in the near east as being waged in order to control the oil trade. This is the kind of argument the now-discredited Noam Chomsky advanced. The outrageous, unrecoverable economic and social costs of successive wars in the middle east far outweighs whatever advantage America may have gained, and viewed objectively, it can only be the case that these wars were waged for Israel, towards the establishment of Greater Israel. The Zionist entity controls both main political parties (as well as libertarians, socialists, and greens) through various PAC’s, think-tanks, and generations of ideological propaganda, especially surrounding supposed events during WWII. In the long view of world Jewry, America is disposable.

Now this guy had the plan. Antisemitic Socialism? Didn’t Hitler perform this later and turned Germany around in 5 years? Time Man Of The Year in 1938.

Brilliance? Not at all just common sense, Fourier and Hitler just said what everyone else knew to be the truth.

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

Fortunately, we have ways to investigate the mysterious and complicated!

The street finds its own uses for things.

Are people really paying an additional $3000 per capita in federal taxes each year?

Mark G.
Some of that is in the form of a hidden inflation tax. People are paying for high levels of government spending at least partly in the form of higher prices.

“Hidden inflation tax” is so nebulous as to be uselessly abstract, which hypnotoad supposedly doesn’t like. For one thing, you’re describing inflation in the form of higher prices as a “tax” which is quite some distance definitionally from actual tax revenue, which was the topic.

Our government spending addiction may not end until the government has to resort to massive money printing to pay its bills, followed by high levels of inflation and the impoverishment of a large segment of the population.

Right. As I wrote earlier, deficits solve themselves. Pyramid-scheme voters of both parties may have to take a haircut (not to mention checked-out non voting adults). Simpsons lady: “Won’t someone think of the children??”

What demographics (racial and otherwise) do you think will be hardest hit in an inflation impoverishment smackdown? Presumably ZeroHedge readers will be at a huge advantage with all the gold and guns hoarding. 🙂

You’d run like a bitch if you ever saw me.

On the point about Roman converts, you’re right that we don’t have a long list of famous names, but according to Shlomo and others, there are sources suggesting that conversion to Judaism among Romans was widespread. I did read your article, though it’s been a while, so I didn’t have those details fresh in mind — thanks for reminding me and also for the book recommendation.

Who gets to define the “mainstream view” for the genetic studies in 2026? Some of the older studies have been criticized pretty heavily for their methodology — one example being that they compared Ashkenazi Jews to northern Italians rather than southern Italians, even though southern Italians are genetically much closer.

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.

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.

Good to see you’re paying attention. Unusual, but encouraging.

A figure being classified as a myth does not automatically mean they did not exist as a real person. A real person becomes a myth when stories about them grow in retelling, regardless of whether the original events were legendary. This transformation occurs when people believe the person did something legendary or when such a narrative makes for a better, more compelling story.

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.

“Razib Khan’s wife got married to Razib before JD Vance married his wife Usha, so Vance was following in her footsteps”

OK. So then he is a “race traitor”, whatever that means. And his kids are mutts. Oh, vey!

Americans are still losing planes even though the firing has stopped between them and Iran!

Two EA-18 Growlers met in the skies over Idaho… result? Over $130 million dollar bill to the American taxpayer.

With exercises like this who needs an enemy…the military/industrial system can survive with destructive displays on American soil alone!

C’mon fella. It’s 90+ percent White men who invent anything worthwhile.

Expended was referring to oil used by the war machine. For example, bombers flying from the US to Iran.

Oh. That use is minuscule compared to global civilian airline/maritime/industrial use. It wouldn’t affect the oil market at all.

Destroyed could refer to reserves lost through shutdowns as kaganovitch mentioned or just outright destroyed–say by sinking a tanker or damaging oil fields, refineries, etc.

Right. Anyone got a quantity sitrep on lost production due to the above? So far I’m not perceiving the military damage to oil infrastructure/assets has come close to what Saddam Hussein did in Kuwait.

PNAC! Since 1997, Jewish-American attempts at leadership have been bad both for America and for the world, and can be described as “a Kryptonite policy of military decay and gross moral turpitude.”

When I lived in Colorado my Manx tomcat killed rabbits ground squirrels and anything else he could catch. Manx are great barn cats.

I am sure the Chinese are getting an atavistic pleasure in the deference of the Epstein class. They follow American politics very closely. I recall in the early 1970s, Washington Post reporting a surprise letter complaint from Mao Tse Tung he was not getting his daily copy.

They would remember private citizen visits by general Grant and Herbert Hoover. They treated China as an exotic joke land. Herbert Hoover bombarded them in the Boxer rebellion. My Chinese stepson said, China will rule the world. Now the President of United States comes to China with pleading eyes. His retainers are rendered helpless. Trump is not even escorted to his car. All that is incredibly significant in Beijing.

I speak for me. You act as if you are THE spokesperson for whites. You’re not. Get over it.

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.

I may regret it, but I’m going to publish this.

Hmmm, sounds like his wife is a “race traitor”, whatever that means. And her kids are mutts. How dare she follow the path of JD Vance!

When a huge tree in a forest crashes down, for whatever reason, it smashes all those which were growing in its path. However, sunlight immediately fills the space suddenly vacated and, almost instantly, thousands of seedlings and saplings spring up, all reaching for that light, all competing with each other for space and resources. Over time, most will be naturally weeded and die, leaving the strongest and most capable growing to create a new paradigm, which might result in one extremely large and strong tree suppressing all others in its shadow. Until the day when it also meets its demise and the cycle begins again.

The analogy applies to nations and empires as well. We’re just too short-sighted to see it and, quite likely, too proud to admit that we’re about to go down. This is America. It can’t happen here.

Remember that?

Using tampons for gunshot wounds is obsolete. The new solution is fix-a-flat foam.

“Are people really paying an additional $3000 per capita in federal taxes each year?”

Some of that is in the form of a hidden inflation tax. People are paying for high levels of government spending at least partly in the form of higher prices.

The yield on 30 year government bonds just went over 5%, an indication lenders are becoming reluctant to lend the US government money. They are loooking into the future and seeing them not getting paid back or being paid back with dollars worth much less than current dollars.

People with drug, alcohol or other addictions will often have trouble kicking those addictions. Our government spending addiction may not end until the government has to resort to massive money printing to pay its bills, followed by high levels of inflation and the impoverishment of a large segment of the population.

“Actually, during Operation Linebacker II, the Americans started running out of bombers fast. On average, across various sources, they lost about 25 B-52s in just a week and a half. And that’s the main reason why the Americans became so cooperative in the subsequent negotiations. Ultimately, they still had to pull out of South Vietnam.”

Ohhh stop. When the North Vietnamese came to the peace they got the same deal that was available in 1955, 1965 and 1973.

Cease war to force a communist unified country. That any u8nification be conducted by mutual consent —-

Period.

The Jews are sucky warriors, except in the use of standoff weapons,

So, we have a tyrant Trump, serving oligarchs, zionists and the billionaire parasitic class meet with another tyrant, Xi, who seems to serve more closely the interests of his country than Trump.

Two tyrants anyway, one with a unique party system, no “democracy”, no real free speech, social credit and another one who keeps destroying the US constitution on behalf of his handlers to transform the US into some kind of CCP China.

Two mafia bosses negotiating for who will control which turf.

Are We, the People better off now? Have our interests been served?

No.

And Iran? Because Trump also wanted something from Xi besides juicy contracts for his oligarchs.

Xi promised not to send military equipment to Iran – Trump
https://www.rt.com/news/640010-trump-xi-military-iran/

“He said he’s not going to give military equipment. That’s a big statement,” Trump told Fox News.

Xi wanted to hear about Taiwan:

Trump reportedly warns Taiwan island not to expect a ‘blank check’ from US military, ‘not looking to have somebody go independent’
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202605/1361109.shtml

It seems both just wrote about what they wanted to hear or did they make a deal?

The Russians (and Putin is in China this week) seem to think so:

Of course, we can ignore these headlines and censor the messenger while writing about wars that never end.

If I understand my read correctly. The president just backpedaled on denying foreign ownership of US territory. Apparently he thinks:

the chinese will keep farm prices low

the chinese need to own land to learn about US culture

This trip apparently did not go as planned.

but then maybe there was no plan.

In further response to China, I just read that the US president, has backed off blocking the Chinese from owning US territory. That strongly suggests, he got taken to the woodshed and in China and he agreed he needed a spanking.

Who cares how many other presidents were willing to sell the US to foreign interests. He was elected to challenge that process and consequence not buy into it. He just does not have the courage to stand when faced with like power, even if said power is power in appearance only.

Makes me wonder if he was so weak as to buy that the US must bow to China in the end. That is what China thinks. This admin. continues to do everything they vowed not to do.

Very saddening to watch and frustrating. But mostly sad.

The only thing tRump cares about is the “record high” stock market. He came right out, in a recent FOX News interview, and stated that he wasn’t concerned about the average U.S. citizens slide into increased poverty. The man is despicable.

700-930 never existed?

Interlocking historical evidence, without having to go to astronomy, carbon dating, etc. One example:

Standard history says around 860 the patriarch Photios in Constantinople under the emperor Michael III sent SS Cyril and Methodius on a missionary mission to Moravia which was entangled with East Francia. Shortly later they visited the pope who issued bulls regarding the situation in Moravia.

1. We have various sources though all are copies of texts written 2-5 centuries earlier: Frankish, Byzantine, Papal, Slavonic. They all agree on the figures, timelines. So if a fabricated insertion had taken place it would have happened some time before the great schism in 1054.

2. The succession histories of the papacy and patriarchate are continual to this day. So those would all have to be fabricated.

3. The Baghdad historian al-Tabari writing in the 10th century recorded the reign of Michael III and dated it to 860. So he would have to be in on the fraud.

There are a lot of performers / groups now that go for a consciously retro feel.

That’s been happening full blast since the turn of the century in many genres, gramps. Google “stuck culture”.

Here are some who I think are pretty good:

Note that none of these people have ever won a grammy or any other awards.

Those tracks are paint-by-numbers superficial on-the-nose retro kitsch. Copy of a copy of a copy. Absolutely zero originality. Okay enough for light background listening in an Indianapolis coffee shop frequented by old accountants.

lol troll out again? Go back to your hole lol troll😊

I see, like today Germany ( referring to new war coming) was defending Europe from Asian hordes? Racism at its most revealing. Why don’t you answer the lebensraum question? 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.

Well,

the issue was the peaceful of Islam. I merely pointed out that Islam is interpreted by people who exhibit something very different than peacefulness.

Your comment at first sounded as a nonsequitor, but in reflection really suggests that my perspective as expressed is correct.

I have no comment on how many christians worship money as that was not a part of my contend.

” Looks like Xi and Trump made a deal, Iran vs Taiwan…

Thanks for the comment and for John Helmer’s article exposing the CCP plants without credentials peddling their propaganda here.

The reaction from psychologically deranged hysterical like and other CCP useful idiots (or agents) shows that you hit the motherload.

I also think China would sell Iran out if he could profit from it.

Everybody always complains about the West hypocrisy and rightly so, but reading Chinese two miles long empty word statements gives a new meaning to the concept of ‘corporate or political bullshit’.

By the way, what Trump and his handlers are trying to implement in Amerika is the exact same totalitarian regime that they have in China: zero freedom of speech, one party rule, 24/7 surveillance, and social credit for all except fro the oligarchy.

But our Chinese apologists pretend not to see it, It reminds me of the 1950’s communists praising Stalin and the USSR…

I can already hear the rage and insults from the red crew out there, if I am not censored of course, since it is the usual course of action to silence dissidents here as everywhere else.

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.

Do you really think that the government taking an extra $1 Trillion per year (around $3,000 per capita) from taxpayers is “nothing?”

Are people really paying an additional “$3,000 per capita” in federal taxes each year? Sounds highly implausible, especially for middle-class taxpayers and lower (many of whom pay no taxes). Are the mega-rich paying ginormous tax bills to cover it?

the ignorant masses will tend to ignore the epic looting of the nation’s wealth as just a silly fussing about abstract “numbers.”

Have you personally felt the impacts of living in a “epically looted” nation? Are you poorer than 10 or 20 years ago? Has your town/city become physically run down due to federal fiscal looting?

Thanks for linking back to that. Leaving aside uncontrolled damage due to airstrikes (anyone got a sitrep/quantifciation on that?), it looks like the key to reducing production (without destroying reserves) is to slow the overall flow rate across wells, not shut off any wells.

Here are detailed answers from Quora about the risks of hard stops of active wells:

https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-they-just-stop-pumping-oil-for-a-week-Can-the-pumps-not-be-turned-off

Why don’t they just stop pumping oil for a week? Can the pumps not be turned off?

Isn’t the argument that slavery was more or less universal until the 19th century, i.e. slavery was not invented by white people and white people were not the only ones throughout history who’ve kept slaves?

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.

So far, only one person, a visitor from Liberia has died in U.S. from Ebola. Worldwide deaths are fewer than 20,000 in 50-year history of the disease. Doesn’t deserve the label ‘Emergency’ as yet. Same with Hantapanic.

The accusation of ‘antisemite’ these days, as uttered by Satanic Judeosupremacists, is, in most cases, a mark of distinction, of moral character and of courage.

… western “profesors” … “proof” that whites have higher IQ of all races …

No, East Asians have higher IQ!

Karaganov specifically says that Euro-trash elites will be targeted.
He says the European people are “innocent victims” of these warmongering elites (…..or words to that effect).

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.

JT is concerned about some nigra playing a White lady in a play as if a real man attends plays. lol.
Meanwhile the kike fleecing America is just fine with JT, “they look white to me.” What next, JT? Complaining about some 300 lb sheboon singing at the opera. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The Jews denounced the phrase Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum (INRI) that the Romans inscribed on the cross.

So there’s that.

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?

Hmmm, I dunno. :-/ sarc

How about the same people who did the ‘low wage jobs’ in the US between 1924-1965? The same people who in ‘backwards’ Japan 😉 have done ‘the low wage jobs’ there up to very recently, or even currently? The same people who did the ‘low wage jobs’ at Jamestown up until 1619?

How about people stop blaming the historical victims, the majority, who have had nothing to do with this, and put the moral onus and blame on a (albeit often historically powerful) relative few and their hangers on, either of one’s own and, or, alien, who amorally driven by short sighted greed or a lust for ill-gotten political power, have abjectly refused to pay typically their own people the prevailing real time local rates for their labor, often times (with reason) referred to as ‘a living wage’?

Anything, but anything, than these people have to do that moral thing. God forbid!

And then, by diktat, proceed to import alien labor as wage slaves (ie so called ‘cheap labor’ migrants), just as their direct spiritual and political forebears by diktat imported chattel slaves into the country centuries before, for the same short sighted amoral reasons.

To elaborate a bit further on this, rather than chattel slavery and it’s trade having been ‘abolished’ within the Anglosphere, a misnomer, it was instead monetized, that is, it was distilled down to it’s financial essence whilst profits were maximized, with the late 18th and early 19th century introduction by diktat of wage slavery, specifically the so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’ system.

The ‘immigrant’ in this arrangement, from a financial point of view, and this has always ever only been about money, is the slave, for whatever period of time (days, weeks, months, years) that he or she is paid significantly below* what the prevailing real time local rates for their labor was (or would have been) without the ‘immigation’ taking place, or the ‘immigrants’ being present.

True, the wage slave ‘immigrant’ may quit at any time, which is no big deal to the shameless exploiter, as another can readily be had to take their place most likely at the same rates, or perhaps for even less, it not being called ‘mass immigration’ for nothing.

With the new ‘just in time’ slavery of wage slavery, ie so called cheap labor/mass immigration, almost all negative costs and hassles, and former overheads, that both chattel slave dealer and slave owner, had formerly had to deal with, from child care to old age care, feeding, clothing, housing, etc have now been safely outsourced to the non-exploiting general public to bear, in the form of greatly expanded public welfare programs and charity expenses.

With wage slavery (so called ‘cheap labor’) even what moral opprobrium the chattel slave dealers and owners may have had to previously contend with has been inverted and outsourced as well, and should a member of the general public dare to even begin to notice something is morally off with the cheap labor/mass immigration system, and simply question it, woe be unto them, as they will quickly be slapped with the potentially life and career destroying label ‘racist’.

The Big Lie, the lie of the millennium, was the 19th century abolition of slavery.

Those who think along these lines are far from alone. One of the greatest of all 19th century US economists, Henry Charles Carey, concluded in real time exactly the same thing I’ve elaborated upon here, that (paraphrasing) ‘the cheap labor system is simply the Atlantic slave trade of the previous [18th] century, but on a grander scale’.

Historically, for the short term sake of filthy lucre, and engaging at best in self deception, but deception none the less, those promoting and engaging in wage slavery, ie the so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’ system, with it’s built in divide and rule scheme (see comment #22 linked below), have betrayed their own people, mankind as a whole, their own descendants, and ultimately even themselves.

If any people wish to survive and prosper, the peoplehood destroying poison of slavery, whether it be chattel or wage, the latter being the so called ‘cheap labor’/’mass immigration’ system, and which is the historic economic and political basis of modern Anglosphere ‘progressive’ Multi-culturalism, needs to be made a death penalty offense, for anyone even attempting to introduce such a system amongst their own.

* Something the 1970’s Kung Fu TV series doesn’t tell people is that the featured Chinese ‘migrants’ of the series (of which ethnic and racial tensions typically swirled) were often only being ‘paid’ a third what everyone else was being paid for the very same labor.

The silence, actually quiet CELEBRATION, is expected of Judeosatanists, whose cult worships murder, but even worse are the Sabbat Goy stooges in Western politics and MSM who stay quiet while truly insane and diabolical crimes are committed by deranged monsters. In fact, many of these vermin actively support the genocide.

a master must give his slave medical attention when required, must give him adequate upkeep, and must support him in his old age. If a master defaulted on these and other obligations to his slave, the qadi could compel him to fulfill them or else either to sell or to emancipate the slave. The master was forbidden to overwork his slave

Advice on best business practices?

I will never cease to be amazed at how the Jews are always to get the Goyim to fight on their behalf.

In Israelia, formerly Arsetralia, it’s not, yet, ‘our soil’. It’s the blackfellas’, after sixty thousand PLUS years of dwelling, and not ‘theirs’. They belong to the land, not the other way about. For Whitey, land is just MONEY.
