The nerve of some people is just breathtaking. Can you “even” about these folks in the UK?

In Manchester, demonstrators expressed unwavering solidarity with Palestine, with banners reading: “Stop Killing Children” and “End the Genocide Now.” For over 15 months, Palestinians in Gaza have faced relentless violence, and Manchester protesters stood firm, calling for an end to the violence and international action to halt the atrocities.

“Stop Bombing Children” and “Stop Killing Children” is pure anti-satanism at its worst. Just ask Miss Lindsey, the Orange Oaf, or Satanyahoo. And, again, I would urge the lovely Ilana Mercer to tone down her criticism of the wanton baby butchers. She wouldn’t want to be called bad names, would she?

Unless it is killing things, Israel is just not happy. Flora and fauna, too. Israeli genociders, candid economists might say, have a high time-preference mindset. In such an uncivilized society, impulses (to kill) are privileged over contractual commitments (to quit killing). Not some of the livestock, but all of the livestock. As hard as it is to believe, but under decades of a medieval blockade, Gaza’s farmers had, before October 7, fed a third of their people. Croplands, irrigation systems, batteries of greenhouses, living things that produce flowers then give fruit: everything has gone the way of cattle, poultry and family pets: dead.

The term Carthaginian Peace has lost its meaning under Israel’s malign sway. The bad idea of “peace” through crippling the opponent Israel has replaced with the idea of “peace” through conquering and killing the opponent off. Conversion is complete. The structural violence that is the State of Israel the US duopoly has helped normalize. Genocidal violence, yes or no, saturation bombing of civilians, pros and cons, and forced mass expulsion of starving, subjugated people—if not de rigueur, these state crimes are now part of normal governance in the West.

What’s next? Is she going to deny the right of the genociders to murder children??? What a way to start the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

While the zion nazis slaughter hundreds of additional children in refugee camps, the GAE does its part by killing kids in Yemen. MOA offers a short, candid assessment of where Trump’s idiocy will lead:

Thoughts:

    • Bombing Yemen is stupid. The Saudis tried for years to get their way by doing that and were defeated.
    • Yemen can and does shoot back.
    • It is only a question of time until it hits a U.S. war ship and causes casualties.
    • Then Trump will be hard pressed to escalate the war towards Iran.
    • Iran can not be defeated.

That’s it.

Let the yankees hollar USA!, USA! all they want, but sooner or later, one of these antiques is going down.

The NHL and KHL thing seems plausible. The rest looks like (a good version) of more of the same. The Kremlin’s summary of the Putin-Trump chat:

*****

Kremlin. News, [3/18/2025 4:55 PM]
Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the United States Donald Trump

🔹The leaders continued their detailed and frank exchange of views on the situation surrounding Ukraine. Vladimir Putin extended gratitude to Donald Trump for his striving to achieve the noble goal of ending the hostilities and loss of life.

🔹Confirming his fundamental commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, the President of Russia expressed willingness to thoroughly work out possible solutions in cooperation with the American partners, aimed at reaching a settlement that would be comprehensive, reliable, and lasting, and, naturally, take into account the essential need to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, as well as Russia’s legitimate security interests.

🔹Concerning US President’s proposal to declare a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side outlined a number of significant points regarding ensuring effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire frontline, as well as the need to stop the forced mobilisation in Ukraine and rearming the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was noted that some serious risks exist pertaining to the intractability of the Kiev regime which had repeatedly sabotaged and violated negotiated agreements. An emphasis was made on barbaric acts of terrorism committed by Ukrainian militants against civilians residing in the Kursk Region.

🔹It was pointed out that a complete cessation of providing Kiev with foreign military aid and intelligence must become the key condition for preventing an escalation of the conflict and making progress towards its resolution through political and diplomatic means.

🔹Referring to Donald Trump’s recent appeal to spare the lives of the Ukrainian servicemen surrounded in the Kursk Region, Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Russian side was willing to embrace humanitarian motives and guaranteed that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would live and be treated fairly in accordance with Russian legislation and international law in the event of surrender.

🔹During the conversation, Donald Trump put forward a proposal for the parties to mutually refrain from strikes on energy infrastructure for 30 days. Vladimir Putin responded favourably to the proposal and immediately gave the relevant order to the Russian troops.

🔹Just as favourable was the Russian President’s response to Donald Trump’s suggestion to implement a well-known proposal regarding the safety of navigation in the Black Sea. The leaders agreed to begin talks to further work out specific details of such an agreement.

🔹Vladimir Putin made it known that on March 19, the Russian and Ukrainian sides would carry out an exchange of prisoners, each swapping 175 people. Additionally, as a gesture of goodwill, 23 heavily wounded Ukrainian soldiers currently receiving aid at Russian medical facilities will also be repatriated.

🔹The leaders confirmed their intention to continue efforts aimed at reaching a settlement in Ukraine bilaterally, with due regard in particular to the aforementioned proposals by the US President. For this purpose, a Russian and an American expert task forces are now being formed.

🔹Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump also addressed some other international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and in the Red Sea region. Joint efforts will be made to stabilise the situation in the crisis spots and establish cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security. This will, in turn, contribute to improving the overall ambiance of relations between Russia and the United States. One positive example is the recent vote in the UN on a resolution on the Ukraine conflict, in which the two countries aligned their stances.

🔹The leaders expressed mutual interest in normalising the bilateral ties in light of the special responsibility for ensuring global security and stability borne by both Russia and the United States. Within that context, they addressed a wide range of areas where the two countries could establish cooperation, discussing several ideas aimed at fostering potential ties of mutual interest in economy and energy.

🔹Donald Trump expressed support for Vladimir Putin’s idea to hold ice hockey matches in both the United States and Russia between Russian and American players from the NHL and the KHL.

🔹The presidents agreed to stay in touch on all the issues raised.

As part of whittling down my author bio, I’ve taken to stating that I have “a few of those degreed credentials people like.” It’s true.

Vox and Cremieux have more evidence of the uselessness of mass credentialization. Per Vox:

Credentialism is just like peer review: it is a way of laundering the status of the academy to provide assurances. With credentialism, you assure employers, friends, acquaintances, your new mother-in-law, the guy next door, the local HOA, your doctor, your dentist, and your mother’s brother’s high school friend, that you’re the right type of person. But credentialism does this by placing enormous costs on everyone, and because credentialism creates a demand for credentials, it threatens the value of those very credentials by impelling a rat race and generating respected sinecures within credentialing authorities.

Everything about Clown World is a lie. Experts are idiots. Doctors kill people with more ruthless efficiency than soldiers or mercenaries. The media narrative is predictably, observably and reliably false. Schools teach nothing of value. Wealth is comprised of gambling plus debt.

Everything about Clown World is a net negative.

Please note the chart depicting the radical drop in average US college student IQ in Cremieux’s article. Not that it matters to me. I am still proud of the one degree I have not at least provisionally renounced: my 1985 Continuing Education Certificate in Computers from Mississippi State University. Trust me when I talk about computers – I have the credentials. And I’m positive computers haven’t changed a bit in the last 40 years.

 

 

 

Победить демографический спад

На помощь приходят мини-юбки.

Депутат гордумы Тарусы от ЛДПР Евгений Руденко призвал жительниц города чаще надевать мини-юбки, чтобы повысить рождаемость в России. Он заявил, что этот предмет гардероба в разы повышает шансы выйти замуж, а девушки в мини-юбках не нравятся только геям. В соцсетях на его призыв отреагировали негативно, сам Руденко в беседе с «Газетой.Ru» заявил, что пошутил, однако в каждой шутке есть доля правды. Глава комитета Госдумы по вопросам семьи, женщин и детей Нина Останина в ответ посоветовала депутату не под юбки заглядывать, а изучать проблемы избирателей.

Не будь <<геем>>, люби свои ножки.

 

Unheard of but Predictable

Columbia University, previously King’s College, predates the US Dept. of “Education”. In fact, the school predates the local freemasonic rebellion against the freemasonic King of England. Things were well before, and it is the school’s fault for falling into the trap set by the GAE. Now, in addition to losing imperial funding, Columbia is starting to lose academic autonomy.

A report by the Associated Press (AP) on Friday reveals that the Trump administration disregarded longstanding precedent by ordering Columbia University to remove the leadership of an academic department—a move widely viewed as a direct assault on academic freedom and a warning to other universities under federal scrutiny.

Government officials instructed the university to place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under “academic receivership” for at least five years. This directive was one of several conditions tied to federal funding, including the $400 million withdrawn over accusations of antisemitism.

“It’s an escalation of a kind that is unheard of,” said Joan Scott, a historian and member of the academic freedom committee of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), “Even during the McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.”

Why??? “Israel”, of course! Again, Philip Giraldi has more on the real control over the dying, illiterate empire.

The Decline in Reading

This is a follow-up to Friday’s column. The FT cannot quite admit that IQ is real. But they nonetheless observe some of the problems attendant to its decline.

This inflection point is noteworthy not only for being similar to performance on tests of intelligence and reasoning but because it coincides with another broader development: our changing relationship with information, available constantly online.

Part of what we’re looking at here is likely a result of the ongoing transition away from text and towards visual media — the shift towards a “post-literate” society spent obsessively on our screens.

The decline of reading is certainly real — in 2022 the share of Americans who reported reading a book in the past year fell below half.

That last part goes along precisely with what Tom Moore observed years ago. And from the perspective of the highly intelligent, digital media makes reading easier not harder. All of this is, of course, such lovely rosy news for an author.
