SJW cubed

Marvel is doubling down more often than a reckless backgammon player.

Marvel Comics announced a brand new Miles Morales series will debut in December from writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Javier Garrón.... Writer Saladin Ahmed elaborates that Miles be “facing threats against the neighborhood rather than the multiverse.” He continues, “Super Villains, yes, but also other threats that speak to our times. He’ll be doing that while also trying to while dealing with bullies, assistant principals, and canceled teen dates. It’s going to be hard!”

"Threats against the neighborhood" = Donald Trump's unconscionable assault on DREAMers.

"Bullies" = racist neo-Nazis

Assistant principals" = white supremacists

Canceled teen dates = neo-Nazi white supremacist girls named Becky Johnson who are too blonde and racist to go on a date with a teen Hispanic hero.

Sure, barely anyone is going to buy another failed comic series written by a failed SF-SJW. But don't worry, Marvel will ship it to your local comic store and count it as a sale anyhow.

Like Iceman's power set itself,  I've received double over ships on the new Iceman. Apparently nearly everyone did. I'm not sure if this is an attempt to spike the unit number but I think this is a failing publisher strategy, particularly for a limited series.

The marketing goal here is to give more capacity to retailers so that they hook new readers who were otherwise going to give the title a pass. Traditionally speaking I haven't seen this ever work in my shop, but other shops have reported some success with it.

In the future, kin mind that when we talk about our sales, we are talking about actual sales to actual customers. The numbers reported by Diamond and Comichron are merely distribution sales into retail, which historically average about a 60 percent sell-through... and that percentage is declining.

So, our 10,000 units sold is the rough equivalent of 16,667 in the Marvel world.

The Manafort-Shapiro connection

According to The Guardian, Ben Shapiro appears to have been working as a mouthpiece for Paul Manafort and Alan Friedman when he was at Breitbart:

Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort authorised a secret media operation on behalf of Ukraine’s former president featuring “black ops”, “placed” articles in the Wall Street Journal and US websites and anonymous briefings against Hillary Clinton.

The project was designed to boost the reputation of Ukraine’s then leader, Viktor Yanukovych. It was part of a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort carried out by Manafort on behalf of Yanukovych’s embattled government, emails and documents reveal.

The strategies included:

• Proposing to rewrite Wikipedia entries to smear a key opponent of the then Ukrainian president.

• Setting up a fake thinktank in Vienna to disseminate viewpoints supporting Yanukovych.

• A social media blitz “aimed at targeted audiences in Europe and the US”.

• Briefing journalists from the rightwing website Breitbart to attack Clinton when she was US secretary of state.

Emails seen by the Guardian show a regular pattern of interaction between Manafort, Friedman, Gates, Kilimnik and Ukrainian officials. Gates, who went on to work with Manafort on the 2016 Trump campaign, wrote several messages. In February Gates , and agreed to cooperate with Mueller.

At the time Kilimnik was the Russian manager of Manafort’s Kiev office. Kilminik is understood to be “Person A” in Mueller’s latest indictment, filed last week. It says the FBI believes Kilimnik has ties to Moscow’s GRU spy agency, and adds that Gates was aware of this. Kilimnik denies a connection. Friedman confirmed he had met Manafort and Gates but said he had done so “because the client asked me to”.

Manafort’s media operation included attacks on Clinton. In October 2012 Gates emailed Manafort and Friedman, flagging a piece written by the journalist Ben Shapiro. The Breitbart article criticised Clinton for her public support of Tymoshenko, who had recently made an electoral pact with the far-right Svoboda party.

The article cited a Jewish “leader” who accused Clinton anonymously of creating a “neo-Nazi Frankenstein”. Gates wrote: “Gentlemen – Here is the first part of a series of articles that will be coming as we continue to build this effort. Alan, you get full credit for the Frankenstein comment.”

Of course, the neocons were to later stage a coup in Ukraine. Never trust the approved opposition. You have no idea for whom they are really working or who is really pulling their strings.

Bob Woodward: "No collusion"

The RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA narrative is finally falling apart:

In an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Friday, Bob Woodward said that in his two years of investigating for his new book, 'Fear,' he found no evidence of collusion or espionage between Trump and Russia. Woodward said he looked for it "hard" and yet turned up nothing.

"So let’s set aside the Comey firing, which as a Constitutional law professor, no one will ever persuade me can be obstruction. And Rod Rosenstein has laid out reasons why even if those weren’t the president’s reasons. Set aside the Comey firing. Did you, Bob Woodward, hear anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion?" Hugh Hewitt asked Woodward.

"I did not, and of course, I looked for it, looked for it hard," Woodward answered. "And so you know, there we are. We’re going to see what Mueller has, and Dowd may be right. He has something that Dowd and the president don’t know about, a secret witness or somebody who has changed their testimony. As you know, that often happens, and that can break open or turn a case."

"But you’ve seen no collusion?" Hewitt asked again to confirm.

"I have not," Woodward affirmed.

It's about time the media gave it up. It never happened and neither is their dream impeachment scenario.

Immigrants are an invasion vector

The first thing immigrants always want is more immigrants:

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2015, Esperanza Franco headed south to the border, where she worked defending immigrants who faced deportation.

Now she's the one who might get kicked out of the country.

Franco says her former employer's mishandling of a work-visa application — she came here from Spain five years ago  — has put her in danger of losing her legal status. She fears that in less than a month, she could end up being jailed in the same Arizona detention center where she has gone to visit clients.

"I'm going through so much stress," Franco said. "I'm waking up in the middle of night, with back pain."

The paradox of her situation is not lost on Franco, 28, who put her legal knowledge and Spanish-language skills to work in Tucson at the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, a nonprofit advocacy group.

It doesn't matter where they come from, they always want to import more at the expense of the natives.

Anti-ethnonationalism is anti-semitism

Consider this summary of the Israeli nation-state law:

• Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people, who have the unique right of national self-determination
• The flag and the menorah are national symbols. The national anthem is 'Hatikva'.
• Jerusalem is the united capital of Israel
• Official language is Hebrew. Arabic has special status
• Israel will be open to Jewish aliyah.
• Israel will work in the Diaspora to preserve the affinity between Israel and Jewish people.
• Israel will ensure the safety of the Jewish people and work to preserve the cultural, historical and religious heritage of Jews in the Diaspora.
• The state places national value on development of Jewish settlement and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation
• The Hebrew calendar is the official calendar of the state. The Gregorian calendar will also have official status

If you're opposed to those things, for the Jews as for any other nation, then you are, without question, an anti-semite. It's time for nationalists to be forthright about attacking the intrinsic anti-semitism, anti-Americanism, and anti-nationalism of the globalists.

The West has failed

It's no surprise that China is blithely dismissing Western criticism of how it is addressing its Islam problem considering how completely the post-Christian Western approach to it has failed. It is absolutely right to do so.

China is not mistreating Muslims in Xinjiang province but is putting some people through training courses to avoid extremism spreading, unlike Europe, which had failed to deal with the problem, a Chinese official told reporters on Thursday.

Reports of mass detentions of ethnic Uighurs and other ethnic Muslims in China’s far western region have sparked a growing international outcry, prompting the Trump administration to consider sanctions against officials and companies linked to allegations of human rights abuses.

“It is not mistreatment,” said Li Xiaojun, director for publicity at the Bureau of Human Rights Affairs of the State Council Information Office. “What China is doing is to establish professional training centers, educational centers.”

“If you do not say it’s the best way, maybe it’s the necessary way to deal with Islamic or religious extremism, because the West has failed in doing so, in dealing with religious Islamic extremism,” Li told reporters on the sidelines of the U.N. Human Rights Council session in Geneva. “Look at Belgium, look at Paris, look at some other European countries. You have failed.”

It's readily apparent that the Burmese and Chinese methods are considerably more effective than the feckless US and European approaches.

Justice is not the law

And when the law will not provide justice, it falls to the community to do so:

William Smith, 28, from Aurora, Illinois was discovered in the early hours of Tuesday morning, decapitated and slumped against the front door of the judge who had granted him bail in August. Smith was arrested last month following allegations by his then girlfriend that he had raped her 8-year-old daughter. After a police investigation in which Smith was found in possession of child pornography, he was arrested on two counts related to child pornography and one count of child molestation.

After being charged, Smith walked free from the court after the judge controversially ruled that he did not pose a threat to the local community, and he raised the $30,000 bail required to trigger his freedom. The alleged victim’s family said they were “shocked” that Smith had been allowed to walk free from court.

Smith was awaiting trial for his crimes and was awaiting a court date which was due to be scheduled for later this year, however it seems that somebody from the local Aurora community decided to take matters into their own hands.The judge, whose name has been withheld, was woken at around 3am by his “frenzied” barking dog. When he went outside to find out what his dog was barking about, he found the decapitated body of the man he had allowed to walk free slumped against his front door with the severed head left on the steps.

I look forward to seeing how the LGBTP community attempts to make a cause celebre of this little incident. The Matthew Shephard-style sob story about a man and his forbidden love for his girlfriend's 8-year-old's daughter promises to be a real tearjerker.

UPDATE: Just to be clear, this looks like a fake. But that doesn't mean we won't get the made-for-TV-movie.

Now WHERE have we seen that number before?

The NFL is down 17 percent in two years:

Consider the curious case of the National Football League: It’s the largest single entertainment property in the U.S., a $14 billion per year attention-sucking machine with a steady hold on the lives of tens of millions. And its future is now in widespread doubt.

Ratings for regular-season games fell 17 percent over the past two years, according to Nielsen, and after one week of play in the new season, viewership has been flat. February marked the third-straight year of audience decline for the Super Bowl and the smallest audience since 2009. Youth participation in tackle football, meanwhile, has declined by nearly 22 percent since 2012 in the face of an emerging scientific consensus that the game destroys the brains of its players. Once a straightforward Sunday diversion, the NFL has become a daily exercise in cognitive dissonance for fans and a hotly contested front in a culture war that no longer leaves space for non-combatants.

To many outside observers, this looks like the end of an era. “The NFL probably peaked two years ago,” says Andrew Zimbalist, a professor of economics at Smith College who specializes in the business of sports. “It’s basically treading water.”

I really need to finish writing Corporate Cancer. The NFL is on exactly the same track as NASCAR and Marvel. This indicates it will likely be down 50 percent within a decade of the 2016 viewership peak.

Darkstream: ComicsGate is Hitler

From the transcript of the Darkstream:

So what did we learn today? I don't know about you, but I was,  of course, horrified to read the Washington Post and be informed that not only is ComicsGate Hitler, but that Ethan Van Sciver is also Hitler, and that Diversity & Comics is also Hitler too. Now, I have to admit that there is a certain amount of, I guess since we're on the Germanic theme, schadenfreude, to be had in watching how this is playing out from the outside. The thing that the virtue signalers and ComicsGatekeepers simply refuse to understand is that there is nothing - nothing - you can do to defend yourself against a rhetorical attack by SJWs.

You can virtue signal all you like, you can run around talking about how you are a diverse movement and that you that you hate hate hate the Alt-Right, that you disavow, disapprove, and anathematize people like myself and so forth, but it won't do you a damned bit of good. So yeah, my first thought when I was reading that was, "hey, don't come talking to me about this, you know, Two-Face van Sciver owns the trademark!" I'm actually waiting for the first accusations that my contacts at the Washington Post set that whole thing up, that this is somehow my fault. I deny that! I absolutely deny that I arranged that hit piece!

I'm not going to pretend that I don't find it funny. I find it more than a little bit amusing, though not quite hysterical just because I understand that the very ComicsGatekeepers who were trying to brigade this particular stream are probably genuinely astounded, and genuinely dismayed, at these attacks from the mainstream media. And what you have to understand is that they're not going to stop, they're not going to listen to you. They're not going to give you a fair shake, they're not going to allow you to defend yourself in any way, shape, or form, and they're going to lie. So you're going to see more articles like this. You know, we saw this with GamerGate. A lot of you guys don't know about the history of the Sad Puppies and the Rabid Puppies,  but you really need to learn it because you guys are in the position of the Sad Puppies. The Sad Puppies were completely obliterated and that's the fate that is in store for you if you follow your instincts.


Needless to say, the ComicsGatekeepers didn't listen to me and continued to engage in some very public acts of virtue-signaling. A reader writes about D&C's foolish decision to metaphorically tattoo "kick me" on his forehead:

I have to admit, even knowing better, to being highly disappointed in D&C's latest futile attempt at virtue-signalling.  He's running another limited Indiegogo campaign as a "charity event" at premium prices, with at least US$10,000 to a charity that he spent several days researching and selecting.

Did he, a US veteran knowing full well how many veterans are in dire straits and in need of help, select Disabled American Veterans or another veterans' charity.  He did not. He chose The Trevor Project, an LGBTQIA+ charity. Seriously. Semper Fi is out; "please accept me, SJWs" is in.

The ComicsGatekeepers are cuckservatives through and through, and are unable and unwilling to conserve a damned thing. Just as you've said.

Once you indicate that you are willing to submit to the SJW Narrative, SJWs will never leave you alone until you submit to them entirely. The virtue-signaling tells them that you're weak and that they only have to increase the pressure until you can't take it anymore and give in to their demands. That's one of the reasons they seldom even bother with me anymore. They know that not only will I never accept their idiot Narrative or submit to them, but the VFM and I will go after them harder and faster and from more directions than they even knew were vulnerable.

ComicsGate HAS been known to attack minorities

The Washington Post decries Two-Face van Sciver and the awful neo-Nazi racists of ComicsGate:

Darryl Ayo, an indie comic creator and critic, told me about one instance in which Comicsgate targeted him for speaking out. Ayo had criticized Malin’s claim that SJWs were Nazis. That night after midnight, popular comics penciler, outspoken right-winger and Comicsgate leader Ethan Van Sciver challenged him to appear on his podcast to debate Malin. “Darryl, come on my show right now and say what you have to say,” Van Sciver tweeted.

Ayo didn’t know Van Sciver and refused the offer. Van Sciver continued to demand that he appear on the show. For anyone who uses Twitter, the result was, predictably, months of insults and harassment. The day before we spoke, eight months after the original confrontation, someone had posted multiple messages on Ayo’s Facebook page to denigrate his art, referencing his conflict with Van Sciver.

Van Sciver framed himself as a proponent of debate and the healthy exchange of ideas. But in fact, he was demanding that Ayo deferentially follow his orders in the middle of the night or be labeled as unreasonable and a justifiable target for abuse. A free speech frame became a way to go after someone for saying things Van Sciver didn’t like — and for putting others on notice that their tweets or comments could make them the next target....

Most of Comicsgate’s targets have been lower profile than Jones or Tran. But that doesn’t mean that the harassers have been ineffective. Meyer, Van Sciver and their followers have made it clear that black critics who question their friends, or female Marvel employees who post selfies online, will be bullied and attacked. Their goal has been to make comics less welcoming to people who aren’t white and male, and they’ve succeeded in that goal.

Well, it certainly cannot be denied that at Ethan van Sciver's instigation, ComicsGatekeepers repeatedly attempted to mau-mau a brilliant and innovative Native American comics publisher as well as issuing death threats to a popular Hispanic writer. Terrible, simply terrible!

I'm just ever so glad that I'm not a part of that deplorable, racist ComicsGate! They must be truly horrible people if the Washington Post says they are!

Meanwhile, the slow-motion suicide of Marvel and DC continues apace.

The upcoming season of The CW’s Supergirl will be a special one, and not just because of the guest stars. The Arrowverse / Berlantiverse series will introduce the first trans superhero to the television universe, and actress Nicole Maines will be bringing character Nia to life.

Chuck Dixon's Avalon #2

Arkhaven Comics is proud to announce the release of the digital edition of CHUCK DIXON'S AVALON #2: RULEBREAKER. Kindle and CBZ editions have already been sent out to Alt★Hero campaign backers.

Detective Ben Church is hot on the heels of the vigilante who murdered a city councilman in broad daylight. But agents of the UN Superhuman Protection Council are interfering with his investigation, even as they claim that they can help him clean up Avalon City. Should he believe them? More importantly, can he trust them?

Meanwhile, King Ace has dealt with his partner-in-crimefighting Fazer's little slip-up with regards to the unwritten Hero's Code, but that doesn't keep them from going after the notorious crime boss, Nicodemus Vukovich, together. The problem, King Ace discovers, is that there is a lot of temptation to be found in a wealthy crime lord's uptown apartment. Perhaps too much temptation for anyone....

Chuck Dixon is the most prolific comic book writer in history. Set in the world of Alt★Hero, CHUCK DIXON'S AVALON #2: RULEBREAKER is the legend's newest creation.

In other Alt★Hero-related news, Arkhaven Comics is pleased to announce that the Gold Logo edition of Alt★Hero #4: The War in Paris is now available at Arkhaven Direct. Please note that a large retailer has already ordered a not-insignificant fraction of the total number available, so if you want the limited edition issue, it would be best not to wait on this one.

Cliff Cosmic, Richard Bonk, and Arklight Studios are currently hard at work on Alt★Hero Issues #5 and #6, so it looks very promising for the first paperback and hardcover omnibuses to come out in plenty of time for Christmas. We also expect to release the first Premium editions soon. There is no new news on the film front.

UPDATE: It looks like the publication date problem is fixed.

Publisher: Arkhaven Comics

"Europe belongs to the Europeans"

The world must heed the words of the Dalai Lama:

The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, said Wednesday that "Europe belongs to the Europeans" and that refugees should return to their native countries to rebuild them.

Speaking at a conference in Sweden's third-largest city of Malmo, home to a large immigrant population, the Dalai Lama -- who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 -- said Europe was "morally responsible" for helping "a refugee really facing danger against their life".

"Receive them, help them, educate them... but ultimately they should develop their own country," said the 83-year-old Tibetan who fled the capital Lhasa in fear of his life after China poured troops into the region to crush an uprising.

"I think Europe belongs to the Europeans," he said, adding they should make clear to refugees that "they ultimately should rebuild their own country".

What a pity that neither the Fake Pope nor the leaderships of any of the big Protestant denominations have the courage, the integrity, or the necessary relationship with the truth to state the obvious.

Big hitter, the Lama.

Exclusive to BIC

Bounding Into Comics has the exclusive on the cover for the new Chuck Dixon comic that is being launched today.

“Avalon is a great first issue that introduces us to a fascinating group of super-powered individuals who are struggling with their own strengths and weaknesses. The conflicts that will eventually play out are worth being excited for and it’s a great bit of writing and world building overall that allow us to feel as if we’re already familiar with this universe, even as we’re only just introduced to it. You can feel safe in being excited for this one, folks.”
- Nathan Braudrick, Bounding Into Comics

You may notice that we've added an Alt★Hero logo to the bottom of the cover. This is because the success of the new series has already reached the point that The Legend Chuck Dixon and I have concluded the connection to Alt★Hero is of benefit to Chuck Dixon's Avalon rather than detracting from it. Despite being set in the same world at roughly the same time, the two series will remain entirely distinct, with different authors and different art teams producing them.

Our objective is to grow both series over time, gradually adding individual hero-centric and limited-run story-centric spinoffs such as Alt★Hero: Q while continuing the two core series. One of the few complaints about the series has been the sheer volume of characters being introduced, but that is not going to change, as the scope of the Alternative Comics Universe aka ACU requires an ever-growing cast of characters. Going deeper into the stories of the individual heroes such as Vendetta or Shade will require focused spinoffs, which we will certainly create if there is sufficient demand for them.

Considers the possibility of talking to Milo about writing a Rainbow-centric comic. Is amused to consider the myriad of ways that could go so very, very wrong. 

And we haven't even gotten to the military line yet! Headshot, High-Q, Dark Zero, Centerfold, and the Gods of Peaceful Sleep are still little more than rumors to the readers.

Peter Grant clarifies

Peter Grant responds to critics and comments concerning his original post on the existential threat posed by identity politics:

Our society is built around the concept of a nation state as the focus of our loyalties, embodying our families, our tribes and our communities into a higher order of commitment.  As former President Theodore Roosevelt famously said in a 1915 speech:

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts ‘native’ before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as anyone else.

The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

If you believe in the concept of a specifically American nation, it's hard to disagree with him.

The concept of a "tribe" can be inimical to this national identity.  If one places more pride in being a socialist or communist or capitalist or Democrat or Republican, or a Christian or Muslim or Jew or Buddhist or Hindu, or a citizen of Texas or California or Vermont or Wyoming or Alaska, than one does in being an American, then one's loyalty to one's country is necessarily affected or influenced by the extent to which one identifies with that primary personal identity.  If the group(s) to which one belongs place similar emphasis on being this, or that, or the other, before being American, the same problem arises.

The trouble is, such divided loyalties end up weakening everybody - ourselves, our tribes, our communities, and our nation.

No doubt that is true. But the problem with Peter's thinking is that loyalty to an artificially constructed "nation-state" can be manufactured simply by everyone of goodwill electing to pretend that they are all part of the same nation. Even after centuries of being unified under a single British crown, the Scots voted for independence - it was the votes of the non-Scots resident in Scotland that caused the "Scottish" independence vote to fail.

And even Teddy Roosevelt himself said that "there ought to be no room" in the country for those who do not consider themselves to be Americans and nothing else. That means forcibly deporting most of the post-1965 immigrants, all of the Jews, and all of the African-Americans, just for starters. And that's a more extreme position than that espoused by the average member of the Alt-Right. I very much doubt most of the civic nationalists who cite Roosevelt's stirring rhetoric realize precisely what it is they are implicitly endorsing.

The rise of 4GW has broken the state's monopoly on violence. Once nukes or other weapons of mass destruction are accessible to non-state actors, that will break the state's monopoly on political legitimacy as well, because there will be strength without the numbers provided by unity.

And like nukes, identity politics are not going to disappear simply because some people happen to find them distasteful. Identity politics are not a Marxist plot or a "right-wing SJW" tactic, they are nothing less than the political environment in which Americans now find themselves due to their foolish and ruinous immigration policies of the last 53 years.

Google and the God-Emperor

Allum Bokhari breaks the news of a video showing the reaction of Google's executives to the ascension of the God-Emperor:

A video recorded by Google shortly after the 2016 presidential election reveals an atmosphere of panic and dismay amongst the tech giant’s leadership, coupled with a determination to thwart both the Trump agenda and the broader populist movement emerging around the globe.

The video is a full recording of Google’s first all-hands meeting following the 2016 election (these weekly meetings are known inside the company as “TGIF” or “Thank God It’s Friday” meetings). Sent to Breitbart News by an anonymous source, it features co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, VPs Kent Walker and Eileen Naughton, CFO Ruth Porat, and CEO Sundar Pichai. It can be watched in full above. It can and should be watched in full above in order to get the full context of the meeting and the statements made.

It was reported earlier this week that Google tried to boost turnout among the Latino population to help Hillary Clinton, only to be dismayed as the usually solid Democratic voting bloc switched to the GOP in record numbers. This video shows a similar level of dismay among Google’s most high-profile figures.

These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.

Co-founder Sergey Brin can be heard comparing Trump supporters to fascists and extremists. Brin argues that like other extremists, Trump voters were motivated by “boredom,” which he says in the past led to fascism and communism.

The Google co-founder then asks his company to consider what it can do to ensure a “better quality of governance and decision-making.”

VP for Global Affairs Kent Walker argues that supporters of populist causes like the Trump campaign are motivated by “fear, xenophobia, hatred, and a desire for answers that may or may not be there.”

Later, Walker says that Google should fight to ensure the populist movement – not just in the U.S. but around the world – is merely a “blip” and a “hiccup” in a historical arc that “bends toward progress.”

CEO Sundar Pichai states that the company will develop machine learning and A.I. to combat what an employee described as “misinformation” shared by “low-information voters.”

Well, it's hardly as if we didn't know these people were openly and avowedly against the duly-elected President of the United States. But to see it, and hear it, confirmed so shamelessly is still rather shocking. They clearly cannot be trusted with even a modicum of monopoly power over the American people; AT&T was broken up for less.

The news before it happens

The Russians are reporting the next false flag in Syria will be a chemical attack in Idlib

The Russian military details that on September 11, the White Helmets and terrorists from Tahrir al-Sham (commonly known as Al-Qaeda in Syria) held a meeting following the filming process, in which they selected two out of nine videos for future transfer to the United Nations and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The remaining videos are to be used for propaganda on social media networks due to the poor quality, the military claims.

At the same time, since September 9, the White Helmets have been staging rehearsals of an alleged chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun, Russian officials say in the same statement, claiming that the rehearsals feature up to 30 civilians, including a dozen children aged 8-12.

Why would the Syrian government ever utilize banned chemical weapons in such a situation. Assad has already won the civil war. He has absolutely no need to do anything more than keep pressing forward and his victory is assured.

This is an insult to even the average American's intelligence.

Boers out, Chinese in

I expect it won't be too long before South Africa's blacks are pining for the good old days of Apartheid. This period of black self-rule appears likely to be more a brief racial interregnum than anything approaching genuine independence.

There has been some confusion in the energy industry this past week after the announcement that a new coal-powered power plant is planned for Limpopo. According to reports, President Cyril Ramaphosa inked a deal with the Chinese to build a new 4,600-megawatt coal power station during his visit to that country.

This came as a shock, as the brand-new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) does not include any new coal-fired power plants. It has since emerged that the planned new power plant, called the “Power China International Energy Project”, won’t produce electricity for South African households and business – it will only be used for a massive new Chinese-controlled industrial park.

Earlier this year, nine Chinese companies committed to invest $10 billion in the Musina-Makhado special economic zone at a signing ceremony in Beijing.

Meanwhile, the remaining white South Africans are wondering if they should fight or flee. A South African reader writes:

The previous president (Zuma) was ousted amidst a cloud of corruption, and there are currently parliamentary enquiries into "state capture" by Zuma, his cronies and his super-rich Indian friends the Guptas, including a shady nuclear power deal with the Russians. Even the white South Africans managed to have mass protests against Zuma, and they were all overjoyed when he was replaced with Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa made millions in business - crony capitalism, one suspects - since 1994, and was part owner of the Marikana mine where striking miners were killed by the police a few years ago. Obviously, whites thought he was a coconut and would save them.

But since coming into power, Ramaphosa has been all about expropriating without compensation land from whites, and borrowing like mad from the Chinese. Now every white I speak with will say Zuma was a thief and Ramaphosa is a communist selling his land to the Chinese, but barely any will say - if they even realise - that identity politics cares about them, even if they don't care about identity politics. The rainbow nation non-racial cuckery runs deep in way too many. Whites keep thinking that all South Africans should care about all other South Africans, while the other tribes think whites should pay.

I've also seen first hand how the Chinese operate, having worked abroad on a Chinese operated plant. The owners of the plant and their employees cannot operate the plant, nor maintain it. Everything is done by the Chinese contractors, whose ability to speak English diminishes the more you ask them for information and training. They have the plant owners held hostage, because if they lose the contract they go back to China with all the knowledge and skills required to run this billion dollar project.

Lastly, of those white men who acknowledge racial war in South Africa is imminent, they almost all seem to be in favour of fighting. But I also suspect that 99 percent of them are just windgat - loud-mouths who are more bark than bite. I'm torn between the wisdom of running away to a whiter, safer country with my family; and saying "if you just keep running away, eventually there'll be no place left to run to" and staying to fight. I'm sure the latter is correct, but some positions just aren't defensible, and South Africa is probably not viable for whites absent balkanisation. Emigration is almost certainly the wise option, but I also know it's not feasible for all four or five million whites.

It's probably too late to fight now. The time for the white South Africans to fight was when they still had nukes and control of the army, not when they have no nukes, no army, and the Chinese have decided to colonize the land. At this point, the Boers wouldn't just be fighting the ANC, they'd be fighting the Chinese Red Army defending its very material investments in China's new colony-to-be.

The problem, of course, is that who would want the white South African emigrants? They have proven to be wholly undesirable in any democracy; look at how they celebrated the accession of Ramaphosa to power. Even after losing their own country, they are reliably proving to be more foolish on matters of race and ethnicity than the average white American Democrat, who at least still has the sense to try to keep his children out of vibrant neighborhoods and school districts.

Lest you doubt the Chinese are serious about colonizing Africa:

In what all but amounts to turning Harare into a satellite outpost of Beijing, China has reportedly deployed and installed a dreaded new generation of surface-to- air missiles (SAM) in Zimbabwe, in what is seen as direct preparation for defending her vast economic interests in the country, with a possible signal of ratcheting up future gunboat diplomacy against the competing West.

The irony is that the same white idiots who complained about white imperialism and Sun City are going to declare that the white man has an obligation to rescue the black man from the yellow man. But the white man has laid down his burden and he no longer has the ability to shoulder it.

Statement on social justice

Christians are finally beginning to realize that their churches, and their church leaderships, have been infested and converged by Satanically-inspired SJWs:

In view of questionable sociological, psychological, and political theories presently permeating our culture and making inroads into Christ's church, we wish to clarify certain key Christian doctrines and ethical principles prescribed in God’s Word. Clarity on these issues will fortify believers and churches to withstand an onslaught of dangerous and false teachings that threaten the gospel, misrepresent Scripture, and lead people away from the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Specifically, we are deeply concerned that values borrowed from secular culture are currently undermining Scripture in the areas of race and ethnicity, manhood and womanhood, and human sexuality. The Bible’s teaching on each of these subjects is being challenged under the broad and somewhat nebulous rubric of concern for “social justice.” If the doctrines of God’s Word are not uncompromisingly reasserted and defended at these points, there is every reason to anticipate that these dangerous ideas and corrupted moral values will spread their influence into other realms of biblical doctrines and principles.

We submit these affirmations and denials for public consideration, not with any pretense of ecclesiastical authority, but with an urgency that is mixed with deep joy and sincere sorrow. The rapidity with which these deadly ideas have spread from the culture at large into churches and Christian organizations—including some that are evangelical and Reformed—necessitates the issuing of this statement now.

In the process of considering these matters we have been reminded of the essentials of the faith once for all handed down to the saints, and we are re-committed to contend for it. We have a great Lord and Savior, and it is a privilege to defend his gospel, regardless of cost or consequences. Nevertheless, while we rejoice in that privilege, we grieve that in doing so we know we are taking a stand against the positions of some teachers whom we have long regarded as faithful and trustworthy spiritual guides. It is our earnest prayer that our brothers and sisters will stand firm on the gospel and avoid being blown to and fro by every cultural trend that seeks to move the Church of Christ off course. We must remain steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.

The Apostle Paul’s warning to the Colossians is greatly needed today: “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). The document that follows is an attempt to heed that apostolic command. We invite others who share our concerns and convictions to unite with us in reasserting our unwavering commitment to the teachings of God’s Word articulated in this statement. Therefore, for the glory of God among his Church and throughout society, we offer the following affirmations and denials.

It's a cuckservative statement, weak and Biblically suspect on race, nations, and women, but it's otherwise rather good. The denials tend to be stronger stuff than the affirmations. Regardless, the fact is that tolerance, equality, progress, inclusivity, and diversity are not merely wrong, they are evil, and can be clearly observed to be so by their fruit. Given what has been done to the Christian church, inside and out, in the name of the gospel of anti-racism, it's rather remarkable that so many Christians continue to cling to the idea that racism is not only a sin, but the greatest sin of all.

I suspect Christians would better understand their current theological plight if Judeo-Christianity were referred to by a more historically and theologically accurate name: Phariseo-Christianity.

In any event, it is long past time for Christians to expel the SJWs from their midst. Let the inquisitions, the unseatings, and the excommunications begin!

Insufficient inclusivity

The King in the North slams Marvel's toxic heterosexuality:

Kit Harington has slammed Marvel for its lack of gay actors.

The 31-year-old star - who is best-known for his role in Game Of Thrones - has called on the studio to take a lead on the issue of diversity.

'There's a big problem with masculinity and homosexuality that they can't somehow go hand in hand,' the star told Variety magazine.

'That we can't have someone in a Marvel movie who's gay in real life and plays some super hero. I mean, when is that going to happen?' he added.

I couldn't agree more. I think Marvel should retcon all its superheroes and make them all gay, transgender handicapable individuals of color.  Diversity is strength! Fat is beautiful!

A meager ONE or TWO LGBTP characters is NOT enough, Mr. Feig!

Also, LISTEN TO DAVID BAUTISTA! Bring back James Gunn!

9/11: an explosive hypothesis

17 years after the fact, Ron Unz is increasingly inclined to conclude that Israel was responsible for the deadly 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington DC:

We would normally expect that terrorist attacks resulting in the complete destruction of three gigantic office buildings in New York City and an aerial assault on the Pentagon would be an operation of enormous size and scale, involving very considerable organizational infrastructure and manpower. Yet in the aftermath of the attacks, the US government undertook great efforts to locate and arrest the surviving Islamic conspirators, but scarcely managed to find a single one. Apparently, they had all died in the attacks themselves or otherwise simply vanished into thin air.

But oddly enough, without making much effort at all, the American government did quickly round up and arrest some 200 Israeli Mossad agents, many of whom had been based in exactly the same geographical locations as the purported 19 Arab hijackers. Furthermore, NYC police arrested some of these agents publicly celebrating the 9/11 attacks, while others were caught driving vans in the New York area containing explosives or their residual traces. Most of these Mossad agents refused to answer any questions, and many of those who did failed polygraph tests, but under political pressure all were eventually released and deported back to Israel.

There is also another fascinating tidbit that I have very rarely seen mentioned. One month after the 9/11 attacks, an Israeli intelligence officer and a local Jewish activist were caught attempting to sneak weapons and explosives into the Mexican Parliament building, a story that naturally produced several banner-headlines in leading Mexican newspapers at the time but which was totally ignored by the American media. Eventually, under massive political pressure, all charges were dropped and the Israeli agent deported back home. I remember first encountering this extremely suspicious incident in the early 2000s on an fringe Hispanic-activist website, and the scanned front pages of the Mexican newspapers reporting the dramatic events were once available elsewhere on the Internet, but after all these years I can no longer easily locate them. The details of this incident are obviously rather fragmentary and perhaps garbled, but certainly quite intriguing.

One might speculate that if Islamic terrorists had followed up their 9/11 attacks by also destroying the Mexican parliament building a month later, Latin American support for America’s military invasions in the Middle East would have been enormously greater. Furthermore, any scenes of such massive destruction in the Mexican capital by Arab terrorists would surely have been broadcast non-stop on Univision, America’s dominant Spanish-language network, fully solidifying Hispanic support for President Bush’s military endeavors.

It has to be admitted that this incredible hypothesis would explain more than a few anomalies surrounding the Official Story, which we already know has to be false due to it being the mainstream media narrative. Just to name one, the sudden transformation of the neocons from defeated mercenaries tied to John McCain to the lords of Bush 43's foreign policy has hitherto been inexplicable. The hypothesis certainly fits the means-motive-opportunity heuristic that has never made any sense when applied to Osama bin Laden, who denied responsibility, to say nothing of Saddam Hussein, and it also fits the historical pattern of Israeli false flag attacks blamed on Arabs, a pattern that, as Unz notes, goes back to the 1946 attack on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

The hypothesis may also help explain the strangely intense hostility that the media harbors for Q, as well as why Q rather bizarrely brought up Israel as a problem for the Trump administration that is even bigger than North Korea's nuclear weapons. Q has repeatedly pointed out that the American public is not ready for the unvarnished truth, and while most of us have assumed he was simply talking about pedophiles and Satanists in high places, the possibility of an official declaration from the White House that 9/11 was an Israeli false flag would tend to fall in the category of truths that the average American would find very hard to accept, especially in light of the inevitable media firestorm that such an announcement would ignite.

As a strong supporter of Israel, I have to admit that if it eventually turns out that Israel was, in fact, responsible for attacking New York City and Washington DC, I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive them for failing to launch a few missiles at Hollywood as well.

Anyhow, I don't know who is responsible. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be a secret Mormon-Scientologist alliance formed to immanentize the eschaton. But the truth is what it is, and history is what happened, regardless of what we happen to believe today. About the only parties we can be certain were re not responsible are Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and al Qaeda.

Existential threat or ineluctable reality

Peter Grant addresses identity politics in the USA:

I've been watching the growing rift in American society for years.  It's particularly evident in larger cities, but it's also happening in smaller towns and rural areas.  It's a growing intolerance with those who hold different views, a refusal to admit that the "other side" might be right at least sometimes, a dogmatic insistence that it's "our way or the highway" when it comes to politics, law enforcement, immigration, economics, whatever.  There's less and less willingness to compromise.  Many commentators have begun to speak openly of the possibility of a new civil war....

The biggest problem I see is that very few of those on either side of our societal divide have any conception of just how bitter, vitriolic and savage internecine conflict can become.  I have all too much personal experience of it in Africa.  Don't think that things will be better here.  They won't.  It's part of the human condition, and race has nothing to do with it.  It's all about one's "tribe" - and that can be cultural, or social, or whatever, but it's the primary group to which (or to whom) one owes allegiance.  It's those for whom one is willing to kill, and those for whom one is willing to die.

The modern name for tribalism is "identity politics".  Beware anyone trying to make you think, and act, and live in terms of "identity politics".  They're trying to get you to be tribal, rather than national, in your outlook.  They're trying to divide and rule.  Division is their strength.  By exploiting divisions between groups, they come to power - and then they rule until someone else does a better job of identity politics, and takes over from them.

Tribe can drive good things - unity, working together, a sense of community.  But there are also negatives.  Tribe drives hatred.  Tribe drives war.  Tribe drives atrocity.  It's been that way since the dawn of the human race, and it's unlikely to change.

Peter and I have talked about this, and here is where we tend to disagree, to the extent that we do.  The core problem, as I see it, is that when Peter says to beware of those "trying to get you to be tribal, rather than national, in your outlook", he contradicts his statement that one's tribe is "the primary group to which (or to whom) one owes allegiance."

By his own definition, and by the very etymology of the word, the nation is the tribe. The problem is not sub-national identity politics, but rather, the conflict that is structurally intrinsic to multinational political entities that masquerade as "nations". The USA functioned very well when it was a loose confederation of different nations rather confusingly called "Sovereign States", it no longer functions at all well as a pseudo-democratic centralized imperial financial satrapy ruling over a multitude of nations wearing the skinsuit of the former political entity.

What was the American Revolution if not the division of one English tribe into two? To claim that America is a superset that includes the Anglo-American nation rather than a subset of the English nation simply doesn't withstand historical scrutiny.

All "identity politics" means is "inter-tribal competition for power". The African-Americans are not going to stop putting their own self-perceived interests first. The Jews certainly are not. The Hispanics are not; neither are the newly self-discovered trans-Asian alliance. All of these identity groups and more are consciously working together in opposition to white American and heritage Anglo-American interests, so white Americans can either embrace identity politics and pursue their own interests or they can reject identity politics, and in doing so, submit to the various groups willing to do so.

Those are the only two options. The option to not play the identity politics game was made when the 1965 Naturalization Act passed Congress and was signed into law by the President. Identity politics are an existential threat to the USA, but they are also an unavoidable reality.

Peter rightly warns of the perils of a post-Apartheid multinational society, but in my opinion, that form of breakdown is to be vastly preferred to the perils of a post-Tito multinational society. As a general rule, the more interwoven and integrated the various nations are, the uglier the inevitable transition to homogeneous nation-states will necessarily be.

EXCERPT: 4D Warfare

The following is an excerpt from the newly released 4D Warfare: A Doctrine for a New Generation of Politics by Jack Posobiec:

In a discussion of perception management, its probable impact needs consideration: What is the impact of this deception on adversary leaders? Does it influence their operatives? Does it modify the information they believe to be true? And should adversary operatives or some other element of the adversary coalition play a more active role in combating the impact of perception management on adversary leaders?

The CIA defines deception as, “an action or set of coordinated actions intended to mislead through the creation or perpetuation of false perceptions with the objective to induce the opponent to act, or react, in a way prejudicial to his interests.” The purpose of deception is to cause an adversary to act in a way that is not in his best interest, without the adversary realizing what was done to him and, more importantly, who did it.

CIA-defined denial includes the routine operational security known as OPSEC, such as practiced by military forces. It also includes withholding information that is deemed sensitive at the time. Denial, strictly speaking, is not deception, but denial activities are usually part of any major deception operation. Denial measures are generally intended to promote uncertainties and confuse assessments, whereas deception is intended to lead an opponent towards erroneous conclusions. Therefore, denial tends to involve more passive measures while deception is usually more active.

As a term, “deception” carries a lot of baggage. Nobody wants to admit that his judgment is flawed or that he’s been misled by undetected deception. Being deceived suggests we are naïve or have not devoted significant time and energy to understanding the problem. But it is important to grasp that deception is designed to create a component of ambiguity that renders your judgment less effective. Deception is designed to affect the judgment of adversary operatives, especially as it concerns their analysis of your goals. In short, deception helps you to achieve your goals by confusing your adversaries about what they truly are.

Disinformation is best described as the dissemination of false, half-true, and misleading information. Disinformation is often combined with truthful information and is designed to achieve a specific objective. Disinformation is similar to propaganda, but not synonymous with it. Propaganda is overtly aimed at a mass audience, either foreign or domestic, and it is not necessarily deceptive. In contrast, disinformation is aimed only at specific targets, is deliberately deceptive, and is usually utilized in a covert manner.

Strategic deception involves large-scale deception programs designed to achieve major national objectives. Such a program involves multiple deception plans and a wide array of deceptive techniques. One of the greatest examples of strategic deception is the deception operations carried out by the allies leading up to the Normandy landings in 1944. These deception operations tricked the Germans into thinking that Calais was the mainland landing area rather than Normandy. They achieved this objective through the use of fake uniforms, fake communications, fake documents, and even the death of a fake soldier.

The Normandy strategic deception campaign was so successful that it was not until several days after the Allied landings that the German High Command realized that Normandy was, in fact, the primary invasion site.

Deception operations successfully target multiple cognitive biases that all humans exhibit to varying degrees. Some of these include biases and estimating probabilities, availability bias, anchoring bias, overconfidence bias, biases in evaluating of evidence, oversensitivity to consistency, absence of evidence, persistence of impressions based on discredited evidence, the perception of causality, casual explanations, and internal-versus-external causes of behavior. Because people tend to cling to their beliefs, they tend to see patterns where none actually exist. They also tend to assume that the simplest solution is the correct one, tend to trust the last thing they heard, and dislike having their biases challenged. Deception operations take advantage of all these tendencies.

Psychologists argue that individuals are most likely to follow their predispositions when they are relaxed or when they are very tense. In the first case, facing no urgency to make a decision, individuals see no disadvantage in going along with their original predispositions. On the other hand, when pressed to make important decisions in a hurry, people tend to fall prey to what they subconsciously choose to see. In this state, moderate tension, or vigilance responses, are elicited that overcome predispositions and confirmation bias. Individuals are then more open-minded as they seek out information to make a rational decision.

This dichotomy means that those intending to change a target’s beliefs through deception should confront a target with the need to make an important decision, while avoiding placing the subject in a crisis situation. In Operation Mincemeat, the British presented the Germans with a variety of clues suggesting that Sardinia would be invaded some time in the coming months, but not any time soon. Hitler and his intelligence officers were given excuses to doubt their previous expectations about an Allied invasion of Sicily. They were given time to reassess the situation and put together an alternative scenario incorporating Sardinia. Had the British pushed the Germans into a crisis decision-making mode, the Germans probably would not have shifted their forces in the way the deceiving British intended.

Mailvox: the state of Sweden

An email from a Swedish reader providing perspective on yesterday's state elections.

Here follows a local perspective on the Swedish elections, and I hope you find it of use.

(1) I agree with you - SD cucked too much on immigration, but SD have cucked up in other ways, such as (2) expelling their youth organization (which then became AFS), and (3) expelling other "extremists" from their ranks. (4) The power balance in the leadership of SD shifted to the liberal and civic nationalist faction after the 2014 election, and (5) they've let themselves be converged through the implementation of ((("värdegrund"))), which is the Swedish equivalent of Codes of Conduct.

(6) The party leader, Jimmy Åkesson, who was always pushing the party in the direction of civic nationalism for it to become more "acceptable", suffered a burnout depression 2015, and AFAIK he's still on anti-depressants, which IMO seems to have taken the fire out of him. During and after his convalescence, the balance of power in the party leadership seemed to shift, as mentioned before.

(7) SD has also had huge problems gaining suitable candidates for both local and national functions, and there has been hugely publicized shows of incompetence. (8) They've also had problems with reps doing underhand financial stuff, and though it's been nothing worse than what the reps of their opposition does, the red/green/liberal (((media))) has had too many field days. Add on top of this that (9) some of their most effective and loyal representatives have been evicted from the party. Many of the normies of the working class who aren't unambiguously and overtly affected by the immigration yet, don't really see that much of a difference between SD and the other parties any more. To them, they're mostly just politicians, and to some more or less significant extent, they're right about that.

Sad, but this election doesn't really matter, because unless SD had gained 30 percent+ and AFS had gained entry to the Riksdag, which was unlikely to begin with, nothing much would have changed anyways. The SWPL middle class are isolated in their nice, mostly ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods. They drive their fancy Priuses to their nice jobs where they have a few GoodBrowns for colleagues. How they love mentioning their GoodBrown colleagues when talking about immigration, as if they're somehow representative of the majority of immigrants.

The truly interesting times™ will be when SHTF in the next 4-8 years, and the SWPLs become personally affected. Already, non-western immigrants, up to the 3rd generation are moving into previously homogeneous areas, and their ways are sufficiently different to cause irritation and low level conflicts. What's more, the establishment is literally spraying the country with reception centers for "refugees". This is also true of currently nicer areas. When their wives, sisters and daughters get raped, their sons beaten and robbed, things will change. (((The media))) doesn't write about immigration much any more, and are trying to give the impression that the crisis of 2015 ended. It hasn't.

My hope is with the <20 year olds. When the Zyclonistas come of age (who are mostly very uncucked already), the fight will begin. They don't give a shit about pretty words and feelings. They (((know))).

Darkstream: the concept of the "right-wing" SJW

From the transcript of the Darkstream:

I don't know what "right-wing SJW" signals to you but what it signals to me is that the person who is talking does not understand what an SJW is. They do not understand that social justice actually means something. You know, it is a complete oxymoron. To use the term "right-wing SJW" is every bit as nonsensical as the term "right-wing communist"; there are no right-wing communists. Now, you can argue all you want about the Nazis being right-wing or left-wing; I think it's very obvious that the National Socialist German Workers Party was, like all socialist parties, like all workers parties, a party of the Left. I studied their ideology, and if you go over the 21 points of the Munich Manifesto, you can see that the National Socialists were considerably to the left of the American Democrats. That's why it's always been totally absurd to claim that Republicans or libertarians are Nazis, but there is enough common confusion on that score that you can understand where it happens.

And yet, you never see the same thing happen with communists, and nobody ever says, "oh, well, you right-wing communists", and so it's interesting to me to hear about that, especially in this recent run-in with the self-proclaimed moderates in the comics industry.  More than a few of them accused us, and me a particular, of being a quote right-wing SJW unquote, but if you understand what SJW stands for, if you understand what social justice is, then you realize that it's the same as saying you're a right-wing/left-wing warrior.

It's intrinsically nonsensical, and let me explain for those of you who have not read SJWS ALWAYS LIE, which is, as even people who don't like me very much will tell you, the go-to book on the subject. Social justice is about the convergence of all individuals and institutions towards what they consider to be the maximum possible justice for everyone,  and so "social justice warrior" does not refer to tactics, it does not refer to techniques, it refers to objectives. And the objectives of the SJW are absolutely antithetical to the right wing in general, and to right-wing extremists in particular

Alot of people don't realize that the concept of social justice goes back to the 1800s. That's right. A commenter said social justice is socialist justice. Many figures on the right have condemned it, probably the best example being Friedrich von Hayek. He wrote a really good essay on the subject back in 1971, so this is all going back much further than most people realize, and what we're seeing in the SJWs today is really just the ultimate realization of what John Stuart Mill was advocating back in, whatever it was, 1851. So if you look at what social justice stands for, it stands for the very things that we're now seeing from the tech companies, it stands for all of the corporations, all of the organizations, all of the Boy Scouts, all the churches, everything, being used to enforce the principles of social justice. Now, of course, what social justice specifically stands for has a tendency to mutate at any given moment. They used to be concerned about gay marriage, before that they were concerned about women in the workplace. They were concerned about black quarterbacks, now they're concerned about black coaches. The specific target frequently evolves, but the general objective of forcing everybody's opinion, and everybody's thinking, and everybody's actions to conform to the narrative, that is the primary objective.

Obviously that is not what we on the right wing support or stand for. We don't accept any of it. Social justice, and especially the convergence that it entails, is diametrically opposed to all of us who value Aristotelian logic, value Christianity and Christian morality, and so it is absolutely insane, it's nonsensical, to confuse the two or to conflate the two. Now, you can say quite reasonably that we don't want politics in our comics. I don't think that is very plausible for comics that are going to have any relevance to current events or to the interesting philosophical and ideological questions of the day, but that's not a nonsensical statement, it's just a self-limiting statement.

As I mentioned in the Darkstream, we have taken the opportunity of the recent unpleasantries to update our Dark Legion Comics logo, and we will be replacing the ComicsGate Comic logo on the current Gun Ghoul graphic novel with it later this week. We have already replaced the original Dark Legion logos on the digital editions, and we will replace the original gold Dark Legion logos on Chicago Typewriter and Rebel Dead Revenge when the production schedule permits.

China plays the debt card

I'm not sure which is more amusing, the consternation of the anti-imperialists who are tempted to shoulder the White Man's Burden to protect the Africans from themselves or the hypocrisy of the IMF for worrying about China engaging in the debt-trap diplomacy they have been utilizing in Asia and Latin America for decades:

Zambia is reportedly in talks with China over a possible takeover of the country's electricity company, ZEWASCO, after defaulting on loan repayment. This is according to a report by Africa Confidential titled Bills, Bonds and even Bigger Debts claiming that Zambia risks losing its sovereignty to China which is bound to seize its national assets once the government defaults on loans.

"A major worry of the IMF and US is that China’s BRI strategy is first to encourage indebtedness, and then to take over strategic national assets when debtors default on repayments. The state electricity company ZESCO is already in talks about a takeover by a Chinese company, AC has learned.

"The long-term outcome could be effective Chinese ownership of the commanding heights of the economy and potentially the biggest loss of national sovereignty since independence,” the report read.

It's a bit ironic that SJWs in a post-imperial West that has been in decline for nearly 70 years are still actively attempting to destroy it while remaining entirely blind to the fact that a much more numerous, more unified empire is expanding in its place.

4D WARFARE by Jack Posobiec

Castalia House is very pleased to announce the publication of 4D WARFARE: A Doctrine for a New Generation of Politics by Jack Posobiec.

4D Warfare: A Doctrine for a New Generation of Politics is a revolutionary guide to applying the basic principles of military intelligence to social media, written by a proven master of the information space. In 4D Warfare, author Jack Posobiec explains how the social media narrative is established and how it is influenced over time by competing parties.

Through utilizing the concepts of effective information management, intelligence, deception, misdirection, and research explained in the book, those who understand and practice the principles of 4DW will be able to obtain and maintain social media superiority in an age of increasingly heated cultural war.

Jack Posobiec is a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer who deployed with the DIA to Guantanamo Bay and around the world with the Office of Naval Intelligence. He is one of the most effective right-wing activists on social media and is followed by hundreds of thousands of people on Facebook and Twitter. He is the author of Citizens for Trump: The Inside Story of People's Movement to Take Back America.

It's already the #1 bestseller in Media Studies. From the early reviews:

• Disinformation is such a huge problem. Thank you Jack for being part of those who work to get the truth out.
• This is a great book to get you started. Jack is a True Patriot.

The right questions

Tucker Carlson is asking them on Twitter, even if he doesn't appear to grasp that mindless tribalism is both natural and inevitable, and division is not created by politicians, but is the inevitable consequence of immigration and demographic adulteration of the American nation.

The organized left is lying about a segment we did on Friday night. Our topic was "diversity is our strength," a phrase our leaders use to end conversation rather than spur it. You hear it all the time. We asked, what exactly does it mean? Is it true?

Here are the words from our segment: "How precisely is diversity our strength? Can you think of other institutions, such as marriage or military units, in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are?"

"Do you get along better with your neighbors and coworkers if you can't understand each other, or share no common values? And if diversity is our strength, why is it OK for the rest of us to surrender our freedom of speech to just a handful of tech monopolies?"

These are the questions our leaders out to be asking every day. How does a nation of 325 million people hang together? What do we all have in common as Americans? Why should we remain a country? Nothing is more important than answering this.

But our leaders aren't even asking these questions. Instead they're trying to silence anyone who raises them, while at the same time promoting mindless tribalism for political expedience. Division keeps them in power.

What's at stake isn't a cable news segment. It's the existence of rational conversation in America. If they can prevent you from asking honest questions, there's nothing they can't do. More on this tomorrow night.

If you want to save America, eliminate Diversity. Those who have been celebrating Diversity have been doing so with the express intent of destroying America. The challenge is that you're going to have to abandon your false faith in equality of any and every kind if you're going to even begin to try to salvage some remnant of America.

Sweden votes for suicide

As someone once pointed out, Swedes today are the descendants of the guys who were too scared to go off and viking. So, perhaps the planet will be better off without them, if they are so determined to be overrun and genetically disappeared in the same way the Danes of the erstwhile English Danelaw were. The results of the election today, in which the nationalists fell far short of the 30 percent support I had predicted they would receive:

• Social Democrats - 28.4%
• Moderates - 19.8%
• Sweden Democrats - 17.6%
• Centre Party - 8.6%
• Left Party - 7.9%
• Christian Democrats - 6.4%
• Liberal Party - 5.5%
• Green Party - 4.3%

Then again, no serious observer believes that the West is going to save itself through the ballot box. That being said, while 17.6 percent is a disappointment for the Sweden Democrats, it is a significant increase over the 12.9 percent support it previously held. And the behavior of the new government, whether it is of the Left or of the nominal Right, is almost certain to ensure the continued growth of support for the nationalists.

I tend to suspect that it was the SD's retreat on a strong anti-immigration position that caused them to underperform. Remember, it is always the bold Reagans and Thatchers who overperform, the cautious Bushes and Majors who underperform.

UPDATE: More of this is what the Swedes have voted for:

A PREGNANT MEMBER of the right wing Sweden Democrats was attacked outside a polling station by two young men as Sweden went to the polls today in the most controversial election in its history.The attackers screamed at terrified Emilia Orpana calling her a whore and a racist as she campaigned in Nynäshamn, 35 miles south of Stockholm. She was working at the polling station when she was targeted by the thugs. Ms Orpana said was terrified of being kicked in the stomach and added: “I felt very worried and afraid”. Another representative for the party and a third person who had come to vote were also verbally abused by the two youngsters.

Addition by self-subtraction

That sound you heard was the Republican Party uncucking itself.

I no longer consider myself a Republican. I’m a Christian and a conservative who evaluates each race on the merits — and I’m happy to vote third party when appropriate. The “R” by a name no longer indicates that the candidate likely shares my values or political goals.
- David French

Republicans on Twitter observably failed to tear their clothes, don sackcloth, or gnash their teeth in response to this astonishing news that totally surprised everyone.

• Take Jennifer Rubin and all the controlled opposition pundits with you.
• How brave and novel in this age to disavow one's party affiliation. I'll bet you'll be happy to retain the previous association as a GOPer when CNN, MSNBC etc come calling. 
• NeoCons gonna NeoCon. Start a new War Party!
• Ah, I see. Your brand of conservatism involves losing to the other side, as long as you’re polite about it. Glad we are evicting you from the tent.
• Hey, remember how you guys successfully conserved things? Me neither.
• Time to give is a rest and get over yourself. Politicians are temporary. A real Christian Conservative fights for pro-constitution, liberty-expanding policies.Your sanctimonious woe-is-me drivel ignores that Trump has accomplished more conservative things than anyone since Reagan
• I too am voting for Pelosi to have to power to REALLY follow the constitution to the letter. We MUST stop Trump from tweeting mean things!
• Strongly doubt your Christianity, Pharisee.
• Now that you no longer consider yourself a Republican, perhaps you could treat Republicans as generously as you treat Democrats.
• You NeverTrumps are like the guys we knew in school we constantly complained that you couldn’t get laid. Then when a smokin-hot girl offers you her affection, you turn her down because she has slightly crooked teeth.
• Did you think we thought you were a Republican?
•  Sanctimonious Never Trumpers are a joke because they live in a fantasyland they know doesn't really exist.
• Good news fellas! The base doesn't consider you Republican either. But by all means keep performing as TruCons for the media.
• Which is good because nobody considers you a Republican, and the Conservative aspect is questionable at best. You have consistently supported big government progressive policies like open borders and government surveillance. Your ideology is Trump contrarian, nothing more.

Darkstream: Identity Politics - cause or consequence?

From the transcript of the Darkstream:

If you have the idea that America is an ideal, that America is for everyone, you're wrong, you're flat-out wrong. You are subscribing to 19th-century propaganda and it's 19th-century immigrant propaganda. As a general rule, immigrants have a very difficult time addressing the truth. They don't like to believe they don't belong, they don't like to believe that they are guests, they like to believe that they're the same as everyone else and they have the same rights as everyone else, but the fact of the matter is that democracy is totally incompatible with mass migration, with mass immigration, and even with successful large-scale integration. And so the the reality is that the more immigration you have, the less democracy is possible and the more vicious the struggles for power are going to be.

There is there is no way, no way whatsoever, for the United States system to survive what has been, in historical terms, the largest invasion in human history. Every single invasion you've read about, every single mass migration in human history that you've read about, is smaller than the mass immigration into the United States after 1965, and so there is no possible way for the United States to survive in its current format. If you believe that America was a good place, if you believe that the America was a great place, then you need to understand that it has already been destroyed.

Yeah, the fact that it still looks like it's in place, the fact that it looks like it still functions, doesn't mean that it actually does. Remember, everyone believed that the Soviet Union was as powerful as it had ever been at the very moment that it collapsed. None of the experts saw it coming. Do you think the experts see the collapse of the United States coming?

Q: Is America the greatest system ever?

A: No, I don't think so. I think that it had some excellent points going for it but I think the main reason that the United States was so successful for so long is mostly because of its geographic isolation and the large amount of space it had to allow the sort of large-scale immigration that people mistakenly concluded was viable.

In a comment to a previous post, Hammerli280 notes: I read Cuckservative. Underneath an easy read there's a serious study of how immigration affected American politics. Which brings up an interesting thought: The Democrats, since the Civil War, have been the party of The Newcomers. They were the party of Wave 4b (Irish) and Wave 5 (Italian/Polish/Eastern European Jews) immigration during the 20th Century. They are now trading those groups in on Wave 6 (Mexican/Central American) immigrants. The Democrats haven't been an American party since before the Civil War.

Mailvox: Diversity is ruination

Diversity not only means no flush toilets, it means living amidst the ruins of the glorious and unattainable past:

I ran across this article on New Statesman, titled "How architecture-themed Twitter accounts became a magnet for white nationalism".

Conservatives won't be able to conserve our architecture, either.

I've even seen an embrace of non-Western music - generally meaning aboriginal - by many classical orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.  MPR also slobbers all over itself over "El Sistema", the music education system of - wait for it - Venezuela.

And, of course, recognizing the superiority of Beethoven over some tribal log-pounding is icky and likely to cause bow-ties to become crooked.

All one has to do is read about the current state of the San Francisco streets to realize that Diversity is not merely post-Christian, it is post-civilized.
