This DC suicide has weird written all over it.

Anthony Schinella, 52, the national intelligence officer for military issues, shot himself on June 14 in the front yard of his Arlington home. A Virginia medical examiner’s report lists Schinella’s cause of death as suicide from a gunshot wound to the head. His wife, who had just married him weeks earlier, told The Intercept that she was in her car in the driveway, trying to get away from Schinella when she witnessed his suicide. At the time of his suicide, Schinella was weeks away from retirement.

Soon after his death, an FBI liaison to the CIA entered Schinella’s house and removed his passports, his secure phone, and searched through his belongings, according to his wife, Sara Corcoran, a Washington journalist. A CIA spokesperson declined to comment for this story.

As NIO for military issues, Schinella was the highest-ranking military affairs analyst in the U.S. intelligence community, and was also a member of the powerful National Intelligence Council, which is responsible for producing the intelligence community’s most important analytical reports that go to the president and other top policymakers.

Up in the stuff. Newly married. About to retire. Plural passportS. Secret investigation. I’m sure there is absolutely nothing to see here.

Literally Worse Than Hitler?

Herr Merkel makes the conceptual case she is the worst German Chancellor in history.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has doubled down on her controversial open borders immigration policy, saying she would make “essentially the same decisions” if presented with similar circumstances to the 2015 migrant crisis.

Merkel was asked about the policy during her annual summer press conference in Berlin on Friday. “When people are standing at the German-Austrian border or the Hungarian-Austrian border, they have to be treated like human beings,” the German leader told journalists.

The politician added that European nations will face similar tough decisions for many years to come. “The subject of migration … is not finished. It will be a constant theme for the 21st century,” she said.

She is essentially a witch and deserving of a witch’s punishment. She would do it again even as the people strain under the “benefits” of the new diversity. But, she’s wrong: hardly a future constant, migration will be shut down soon in Europe. Not soon enough, but it’s coming. May justice come with it.

I don’t want to jump the gun as I did when the initial, incomplete, and inaccurate video and reporting of the overdose death of George Floyd (RIP) came out. So, as to Kyle Rittenhouse, I’ve opted for the above conservative headline. I can amend it if need be. As-is, this looks like a clearcut case of self-defense and defense of civilization.

Mike Whitney wrote an excellent piece on the legal persecution at Unz:

In a video that has been widely circulated on the internet, Rittenhouse is seen running away from an angry group of protestors who trip him from behind and send him sprawling to the ground. While lying on the street, Rittenhouse quickly grabbed his assault rifle and shot an assailant who had hit him on the head with his skateboard. He then slowly rose to one knee and shot another attacker who was preparing to deliver a blow. The bloody clash scattered the other 15 or 20 potential assailants who quickly did a U-Turn and fled in the opposite direction.

As I can see it from afar, the only point of contention is the initial shooting of the first violent rioter, convicted child molester Rosenbaum (E.S.T?). Whitney alleges or states, as do others, that that shooting was also defensive in nature. There’s no doubt about the subsequent actions (also against convicted felons) as seen in the videos. If Rittenhouse illegally dispatched the pedo (irony in that, right?), then his overall legal standing might have changed. There’s probably a video of the pedo attacking and, thus, justifying his termination (again, as if any more justification is needed to rid the world of a pedo). It may be out there now and I haven’t seen it. Or, like the other Floyd videos, the Floyd autopsy report, and associated dispatch transcripts, “they” might be hiding anything that might exonerate Kyle.  That is what I suspect. And, unless and until I see more, this case is as clear as a bell.

None of this would have been necessary had police and officials in Kenosha, Minneapolis, and elsewhere done their jobs and repelled the savages before they started. It’s a shame the US doesn’t have a strong president who could take time away from boasting, babbling, debt spending, moving embassies, banned firearms accessories, and swearing in a wall of incompatible newcomers to do something helpful. Kyle, on the other hand, did the world a favor. Multiple favors, in fact.  For starters, he demonstrated how easy it is to disperse a violent mob. Drop the leaders and the pack flees. Tucker Carlson was right – it took a 17-year-old Zoomer to do what older men failed to do.

Sadly, or predictably, or even happily, this will spread. After Trump is re-elected, I foresee the war breaking wide open.

Let true justice prevail. Free Kyle Rittenhouse. He’ll be needed, perhaps as a defender or a leader in the future rebuilding of civilization.

The Mask Comes Off

Easier if never goes on.

Eric Peters recounts the Corona-ified tale of a private school teacher who was dismissed because he refused to bow to the mask.

A teacher recently lost his job for refusing to Face Diaper as ordered by the Sickness Psychotics who run the school where he works. And for refusing to abide the Face Diapering of the kids in his school. As he put it in a letter, his job was to “teach, not terrorize” the kids in his care.

Which is precisely what it is to force kids to walk around with a Face Diaper on. Unlike adults, who can understand the sickness of this “pandemic” of manufactured hysteria, kids – the elementary school-age kids this man taught – are especially vulnerable to psychological damage caused by making them believe everyone’s going to die by making everyone wear a Face Diaper and thus live in terror of everyone.

This teacher refused to go along with it.

After his dismissal, this man was contacted by several parents disgusted by the treatment he received but who admired his taking a stand for himself, on principle – and for the sake of their kids. They pulled their kids out of school and will now homeschool – to be taught by this same teacher, Undiapered and unafraid. Their kids will not be Diapered or made afraid, either.

This was at a Montessori school too. The fear is everywhere. But, the parents, some of them, did the right thing. It’s funny, as explained in the article, the irony of a Montessori school mandating fascism. But, if you care about your kids, then you are responsible for educating them – and not allowing them to be terrorized by psychos and idiots. Many thanks to EP for sharing this!

Another Conservative Victory!

They’re on a roll, those staunch defenders of civilization! The 4th Circuit just concurred with the 11th that muh constitution grants the mentally ill rights over and above those of unwanted normies kids in the “schools.”

In line with anti-discrimination protections recently upheld by the nation’s highest court, the Fourth Circuit ruled Wednesday against a Virginia school that barred a transgender teen from using the boy’s bathroom.

Gavin Grimm was a rising sophomore when his family informed Gloucester County High School officials that Grimm identified as male. For a few weeks until word got out, Grimm used the bathroom for male students.

But the 2-1 ruling from the Fourth Circuit today notes that the school backpedaled after its superintendent, principal and board members “began receiving numerous complaints via email,” many coming from “adults in neighboring communities and even other states.”

Bigots, even in other states. How sad. Maybe Trump, Crenshaw, Pence, Kirk, and Co. will praise the court’s bold defense of the c-c-constitution on tonight’s episode of the insane elephant show! They will, sooner or later (probably sooner), add this insanity to the big tent of GOP stupidity. Everyone else, homeschool.

Whatever Happened To Bat Boy? [The Weekly Column Marches (Stumbles) On]

Whatever Happened To Bat Boy?

Remember Bat Boy? The Weekly World feature-creature from the previous century, tragically born looking half like Bennie Shapiru and half like Nosferatu? Yeah, I hadn’t heard much about him either lately. Some say he’s now a public school administrator in California. Or, it could be that like honest politicians, he never really existed. Who knows?

But … Good Lord, Almighty, we have some real freaks in his place. 

Way back in June of 2018, at TPC, I warned about the rise of insane people who think they are vampires and who act accordingly. Along the way, I’ve made mention of some additional letters in the devil’s rainbow-colored acronym: V, for vampires; P, obviously for pedophiles, and; C, for cannibals. I’m not making this stuff up and it is serious. They’re not even trying to hide it now.

Slowly, but surely, they’re letting the truth seep out. Consider this story. Get past the “staying young” angle, although these freaks are typically obsessed with youth. It’s not just a trend for the “super-rich” either. Also, kindly overlook the tabloid source; these same rumors and allegations have appeared elsewhere and with too much similarity to discount.

Take a look at the overt weirdness, and also, see if you can spot some of the thinly-veiled themes that lend sad credence to VP&C: young blood, “health” sodomy, etc. 

Now, a great cop-out. I’m working on something similar for another magazine, one of many projects heating up. So, I’m going to leave you with the links. And, yes, I cut this one short. Honestly, I just ran out of steam for the topic. Sorry.

*This is the first weekly column, denoted as such, to run outside TPC. Quality will improve tomorrow. Or next week. The next one will be back to normal – if we have that around here. MB, feel free to grab or link this or any other!

Perrin Lovett is a right-wing Christian nationalist writer and author in the American South. He would like to concentrate more on fiction, and he would really like to see Western Civilization survive.

“Ideology and Diversity tempered by Corruption”

That’s the American university. That quote, from Ron Unz, appeared in this Larry Romanoff article from last November that I must have overlooked.

The quality of American education, as we will see, is far lower than the world has been led to believe, and the quality in China is in many cases much superior to that in the US. Americans might care to ask why it is that Chinese elementary or high school students moving to the US are often promoted by one or two grades. The reason is that they know so much more than their American counterparts they would suffer terminal boredom if forced to remain at their prior grade level. If we refer to the PISA tests, Shanghai’s math scores were 119 above the OECD average, or the equivalent of nearly three years of schooling, with reading and science exceeding the OECD average by about 1.5 years of schooling. And in some cases, the American students were behind the OECD average by approximately the same number of years as the Chinese were ahead.

In the reading, I had a few minor quibbles about something. I gave those up, finding in general, exactly what I’ve been seeing and commenting on for years. It’s a great primer on higher “education” in the exceptional land of the free. I found it in this Romanoff article, today, about all things “exceptional” in the USofA.

I’m sure all this will impove after the election!

The “Key” to Technology

I’m supposed to finally get a new dumb phone soon. This story makes me want to scrap the technology altogether.

Every time you unlock your front door, your key whispers a small, but audible, secret. Hackers finally learned how to listen.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore published a paper earlier this year detailing how, using only a smartphone microphone and a program they designed, a hacker can clone your key. What’s more, if a thief was able to install malware on your smartphone, smartwatch, or smart doorbell to record the audio from afar, they wouldn’t even need to be physically nearby to pull off the attack.

The key (ahem) to the attack, dubbed SpiKey, is the sound made by the lock pins as they move over a typical key’s ridges.

“When a victim inserts a key into the door lock, an attacker walking by records the sound with a smartphone microphone,” describes the paper written by Soundarya Ramesh, Harini Ramprasad, and Jun Han.

Smartphones can (and should) be shielded. Smartwatches are just ridiculous. And, the new doorbells are about as appealing as those cameras and 1984 microphones people are rushing to add to their homes. Again, I am really starting to suspect that electricity, not the AI thing, was the mistake. You might want to … lock that down.

So, as you know, for the past two and a half years it has been my high honor to write the National Affairs column for the Piedmont Chronicles. Those missives are basically supercharged versions of the posts you’ve enjoyed at this site for years. And I always run them here as a syndicated backup. However. All good things … come to an end.

Or, rather, they change.

This year has done a number on everyone, yours truly included. The spring and especially the summer have, er, slowed TPC production a bit. There was a little murkiness back in April and a hint that things might be wrapping up. They did not, thank goodness. The show rolled on.

On August 10th, an editorial memo came down that confidently announced a continuing way forward. Then, last night, THIS at http://www.thepiedmontchronicles.com: addressed in general and not just to me:

A Moment from MB

Well…

What can I say?

You knew exactly what you were getting in to. I’ve never given any illusions to the contrary.

TPC is a true passion of mine. It always has been & it always will be.

But…

I just don’t have the time for it right now.

Hope you understand.

There will be posts moving forward, but they’re going to be here & there, sporadic. Maybe sometimes few & far between.

And that’s just the way it’s going to have to be.

As always, thanks for reading.

Your Friend,

MB McCart

I, for one, do understand. Times are tough and so especially is the business of slinging words around. There’s more than enough to keep people busy. It’s a little disheartening, but understandable. It hasn’t happened in more than half a decade, but this site was once known for the … pauses and interruptions. Some of you know that Freedom Prepper essentially took a year off. Things happen.

Yet, I happily note that: 1) this “shut down” has already been averted once, just this year, and; 2) as-is, the foregoing suggests that though the posts may be here and there, sporadic, and few and far between, they’re still a possibility.

Where, for now, does this leave my column? For now, RIGHT HERE! She’ll continue to be a weekly feature, standing out from the usual daily snippets and blurbs and rants. It will probably settle into a designated day and/or time slot, which I have yet to determine. You’ll know it when you read it.

And, soon… Soon, I plan to activate a scheme I’ve had under development for a little while, branching out to possibly two or three other American commentary outlets. This could possibly be the genesis of the greater syndication I’ve been stalling around with. Additionally, next week – I think, I’ll be submitting my debut article to a foreign magazine. All of these publications are (how shall I put this?) more in-line with my evolved brand of ultra-right-wing, Christian nationalism. There – if all goes well – will likely, necessarily be several different subjects or styles for each new place. Maybe. Time will tell. More on all of that later. (There’s much more, as always, under development around here).

And, as to TPC in the future, I remain willing, ready, and slightly incendiary – even if only needed here and far sporadic. Hopefully, this is just a hiccup. If not, then it’s been a great ride. MB and Gang, thanks for everything!
