A Rambling Retreat

 

Hello! For once in a blue moon, I’m on holiday. I wasn’t exactly sure what to write about this week, so here’s a general scoffing at a few things, perhaps coupled with random observations from the road.

Putin is dead nine times over, and Ukraine has won the SMO thrice. Still, ZATO needed a game-changer, a magic weapon of super-duper significance. And it is the Javelin M-777 HIMARS depleted uranium Patriot Asstroglide Storm Shadow F-16! If – big IF – these not-bad fighters make their way to the 404, then we’ll all get a kick out of videos and photos of them being blasted from the sky. *yawn*

The United States of ‘Murica is an exceptional nation. A beacon of democracy, rules-based order, degeneracy, usury, and sodomy to the world. So it is that the debt ceiling debacle isn’t really a big deal. It’s just more retardery from a dead empire. The only interesting thing – and this may be the margaritas typing – is that the pending gloom and doom threatens SSI payments. They’ll paper over it again this time, probably. Yet, sooner or later, and likely sooner, the show’s over. Fear of losing their precious “I done paid mine!!!” monthly checks keeps BOOMERS(!) and (shhhhhhhh!) Silents in places like Texas from supporting things like secession. It’s ironic that — ah, heck. *yawn*

Not! To! Worry! Tim Scott will save us! Vote for Honest Timmy, GOP-ites, and no one, and I mean, no one will call you “racist”. Okay, they’ll call you that until stage ten is in progress, but at least you can waste your vote on a nice guy who tells the truth. Timmy is right: ‘Murica is not in decline. ‘Murica is dead and decaying and has been for some years now. Given all of the other GOP hoodlums, not to mention RFK— There’s not going to be an election, so let’s just yawn through this one and move on.

Even the deep state’s ability to generate havoc has declined markedly in just the past few years. On Christmas morning, back in 2020, for reasons, they detonated an RV-load of explosives allegedly just to knock over a server tower … for reasons. This week, the best they could do was lazily drive a U-haul truck up to the White House. The only item inside the truck was a Nazi flag. If this was a DS attack, then it ranks among the lowest and saddest of all their many attempts. On the other hand, it was a Nazi flag, and Lil’ Ze has been MIA for some weeks now, so… Anyway, on to citrus trees and whatnot.

“Closed for the Season”. That’s what the sign at the Orange and Citrus Shop said. The doors were indeed locked, and the lights were off. That made it impossible to buy a basket or pecan roll or whathaveyou for housewarming gift purposes. Thank goodness the grocery store sells whatever that was I grabbed without looking. But I want to know exactly what season shuttered the fruit stand. Spring? Or is this an advance on summer? Tourist season? Baseball season? The rainy season? I suppose some questions just aren’t meant to be answered.

I also suppose this little excuse for a column has reached the natural endpoint. They can’t all be winners, right? We’ll be back next week, hopefully with some substance. In the words of Curly Bill, “Well, bye”.

Boston Beware

Tags

, , ,

This may be the world’s largest ever gathering of Satanists – and it’s about to begin at a Marriott hotel in downtown Boston.

No, it’s not Kongress. There are only 535 satanists, +-3, on Crapitol Hill. Allegedly 830 gathered in Beantown the other day, for their usual evil purposes.

It’s clear the experience was powerful for them.

“As a gay child, being told you are an abomination and should be destroyed, warped a lot of my thinking. Finding The Satanic Temple has really helped me embrace logic and empathy.”

The Satanic Temple is recognised as a religion by the US government, and has ministers and congregations in America, Europe and Australia.

More than 830 people snapped up tickets for its late April convention, dubbed SatanCon.

Members say they don’t actually believe in a literal Lucifer or Hell. Instead, they say Satan is a metaphor for questioning authority, and grounding your beliefs in science. The sense of community around these shared values makes it a religion, they say.

They do use the symbols of Satan for rituals – for example when celebrating a wedding or adopting a new name. That might include having an upside-down neon cross on your altar while shouting: “Hail Satan!”

For many Christians, this is serious blasphemy.

This is serious blasphemy – the only kind – for all Christians. That the US government recognizes this evil religion tells one something. This evil is the religion of the GAE. In the future, any actual Americans should consider handling situations like this the way they used to deal with them in the old days around the Bay.

Arrest Warrants With Potential Teeth

“Men in dark suits” do not rule over Vladimir Putin and his government the way they do in the dead USSA. As such, Russia’s new warrants for the arrest of the ICC prosecutor and judge(s) stand a much better chance of service and prosecution than the ICC’s idiotic cross warrants against Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova.

Russia’s Investigative Committee has charged in absentia and put on a wanted list a prosecutor and a judge with the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin.

In a statement on Sunday, the Committee said that it was carrying out a criminal investigation into potential wrongdoing by ICC prosecutor Khan Karim Asad Ahmad and ICC judges Tomoko Akane, Rosario Salvatore Aitala, and Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez.

According to the body, in late February Khan issued a request for an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, the presidential commissioner for children’s rights, which was subsequently approved by the three judges.

It’s like lawfare but with hypersonic missiles. If one can’t do the time, don’t do the bother Russia.

Israel’s Problem

Tags

, ,

GG was recently given an award by the IAC for her work bridging the American and Israeli nations and peoples. In her acceptance speech, she did the GG thing, imparting sweet, kind words of optimism. It’s most understandable that not wanting to become a pariah or worse, she avoided certain more difficult subjects. Most of the world avoids them, even as reality plows ahead, heedless of any avoidance. The ME has changed, and Israel runs the risk, the very real risk, of collapsing under its own internal issues.

Israel’s problem, since its founding, are the two distinct groups that it attempted to unite under the roof of Zionism. The more secular and liberal European Ashkenazi have mostly led the country while the Middle Eastern Mizrahim and Ultra orthodox Haredim played a side role. But they have the higher birthrate and are on their way to become the majority. The aims these different groups have are incompatible and feed a permanent conflict:

For decades, the Ashkenazi leadership assumed the religious right, especially the Mizrahim and Haredim, would accept their inferior status in Israel’s Jewish hierarchy so long as they were bought off with privileges over the Palestinians.
But the religious right is now greedy for more than the right to oppress Palestinians. They want the right to shape Israel’s Jewish character too.

The religious fervor the Ashkenazi establishment hoped to weaponize against the Palestinians, especially through the settlement enterprise, has come back to bite it. A monster has been created that increasingly cannot be tamed – even by Netanyahu.

The new Middle East has now only one entity that is swimming against new the Zeitgeist current. That entity is disunited and unable to decide on anything. There is no one on the Israeli side with whom China, or anyone else, could make a deal over Palestine that would stick.

Should the Mizrahim and Haredim win, which they likely eventual will, the more secular Ashkenazi may even start to leave. Israel’s capabilities would leave with them. A reabsorption of a less capable and rich Israel into a wider Middle East might then become possible.

Any future peace and prosperity, if it is real and it lasts, must include prosperity and freedom for the oppressed Palestinians. Otherwise, Israel will not in any way endure. And the Jews must and will (somehow, for better or worse) sort out their internal differences. As the author(s) suggest, this sorting should eventually be beneficial for the greater regional population.

What is unsaid, aside from the mention of Ashkenazis leaving, is the literal cold war between the Israelis and the global Diaspora. Here, GG may be thought of as a peace-making link between both groups, trying to look out for the best interests of all involved. Yet she is not in charge of either group and has about as much influence over them as I do. The American project is finished. The Great Leap  has failed. New Israel has failed. Post-WW2 occupation Israel is failing. Clown World is failing. For once in forever, wouldn’t it be grand if the powers that won’t let well enough alone took a page from the Karaite playbook and “just stopped”? Odds are, they won’t yet. Therefore, in turn – which is now, Israelis will confront their self-imposed problems, willingly or not.

Multiple turnings are upon the world. Turmoil, peace, and anticipation will reign as the great Spiritual War continues, as ever, until the End. Kindly consult reality, history, and the words of a certain Carpenter for the real true behind these matters. Kindly disregard everything said by the Clowns, their media, and their fat, retarded churchian cheerleaders. If it helps, let’s have a little more GG, and a lot less Bibi.

France’s Political Future

Tags

, ,

If it has one, then it may very well ride on the shoulders of FN’s (RN’s?) Marine la Pen’s 28-yo successor, Jordan Bardella.

I think that conservatism does not correspond well with the French. It is not a term that is used in the French public debate or by French intellectuals. However, we defend the aspiration to sovereignty, and I think that we appear today as the guardians of the limits in the face of a wild, unbridled, unlimited, ultra-liberal globalization, in the face of the loss of our identity due to demographics evolving with the successive waves of migration as well as to the questioning of the bases upon which our society was founded, the woke ideology and the cancel culture, which I wanted to discuss precisely at CPAC.

While it might be better to have someone 100% French and not Italia-Algerian, the time for political solutions is closing. 2027 will probably be the last chance. And, given that the French people and their military are already shifting into combat mode, it may all be moot anyway.

France will lead the nations of Europe out of Clown World’s nightmare, one way or the other. Viva la France!

Occupying The Swamp

Tags

,

Karl Denninger correctly notes that the USSA has been overrun and dominated by a hostile, evil, foreign elite.

It Is Not A Swamp

It is an occupying force.

And like all occupying forces it has two characteristics:

It gatekeeps for everyone else not part of it. That is, said occupying force prevents the free flow of commerce and people from one place to another via all means both fair and foul.

It requires sustenance without which it will die.

The second is its Achilles heel.

‘Muricans need to come to grips – rapidly – with the fact they no longer control their country. Then, they need to – rapidly – fire an arrow into that heel and kill the parasite.

UPDATE: I will be away, tending to matters, this week. Hence, all posts are either pre-cooked or impromptu.

Muh Russian Sanctions

Tags

, ,

The Russian army is defeated and the Russian economy is destroyed. Thus, Russia can only plow ahead with the alternative economy, opening a beachhead bank in Iran.

Russia’s second-largest bank, VTB, has opened a branch in Iran, the country’s Trade Promotion Organization (TPO) announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

VTB is the first ever Russian bank to offer services in the Islamic Republic, according to TPO head Alireza Peyman-Pak.

The majority state-owned bank will promote “trade transparency” and play a role in transferring part of its foreign exchange earnings to the banking network, Peyman-Pak added in his tweet.

This bank will help build the RUS-Iran trade corridor, part of the greater Eurasian BRI network. The tell-tale sign of a true shift in global economic supremacy will come when Westerners start to open or try to open accounts in Tehran. I would say “enjoy your freedom fries”, but by the bloated looks of things, Vicky Nuland may have eaten all of them.

Tom Ironsides is a New Hero

Tags

,

Don’t take my word for it. Another new review came in for THE SUBSTITUTE. Says the lovely, intelligent Lynne Neal:

New hero!

Tom Ironsides is a new hero…a man’s man…politically-incorrect…highly intelligent…multi-talented.

As he takes on the failed public school system, the reader lives through a school year with him, his family, his romantic escapades, and winds up cheering him on as Tom implements his ideas for a completely different type of education, built upon classical studies.

Flashbacks to Tom’s time in service to the empire provide more excitement and inspiration from our hero.

Excellent novel. MOST enjoyable! I’m ready for the follow-up!

This may be the best, most succinct summary of the novel yet. Many thanks to Lynne! And don’t just take her word for it. Snag a copy yourself (or, better yet, 10).

Blowback

The destruction of the munitions depot in Khmelnitsky is producing literal fallout over parts of NATO-controlled Europe.

The senior official revealed the purported threat during a government meeting on Friday, in which he accused the US of manipulating its allies to provide “help” to other nations that results in harm being done to the recipients.

“They ‘helped’ Ukraine this way too, applied pressure to its satellites to supply depleted uranium munitions. Their destruction resulted in a radioactive cloud moving towards Western Europe. They have detected an increase in radiation in Poland,” Patrushev stated.

The empire of lies made great use of DU rounds against populations it deemed unworthy of “free and democratic” existence – see Iraq and Serbia. Such was the intention regarding Russians in Donbass. The MOD openly warned the UK not to risk mass radioactive and heavy metal poisoning in the SMO. Now the Ukies, the Poles, and soon probably the Germans and maybe more understand why.

Could be Something

Peace in the SMO will come when NATO, not Ukraine, is sufficiently beaten and capitulates to Russia. The sooner that happens, the better for everyone. The fake West is losing interest in the fight as well as the ability to affect it meaningfully. So, this might be the right time for Cyril Ramaphosa to try to help move things along.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to host a peace mission from African leaders who are seeking to resolve the conflict between the two nations, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said.

During a press briefing on Tuesday, Ramaphosa revealed he had talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky about the proposal.

“My discussions with the two leaders demonstrated that they are both ready to receive the African leaders and to have a discussion on how this conflict can be brought to an end,” Ramaphosa said, as cited by Reuters.

“Whether that will succeed or not is going to depend on the discussions that will be held,” he added.

Earlier this year, I noted that 2023 might be the year that Ramaphose sets himself apart from the average African leader. He’s heading BRICS+ this year. There’s his peace attempt. And, allegedly, he’s working with other Africans leaders on amicably, intelligently resolving another issue closer to home. Time will tell.
