Colonization of the Mind

A new and honest look at the “American dream.”

The US spreads propaganda such as the myth of the “American dream” as part of a “global ideological warfare” campaign, a Chinese think tank has claimed in a report released on Sunday.

The criticism comes amid heightened tensions between the US and China, with both nations frequently exchanging accusations over political systems, global influence, and ideological agendas.

The Xinhua Institute said Washington is promoting a flawed system abroad that fails to deliver results at home. The document focused on what it described as “colonization of the mind” by American soft power.

The “American dream” – the belief that hard work and talent can guarantee a good life, regardless of social class or origin – is one of the illusions the US sells, the report said.

“In this money-centric society, success stories of personal ascent and material abundance are but infinitely exaggerated versions of ‘survivorship bias,’ meaning attention is given only to the few successes while the many failures are ignored. The ‘American dream’ is a sugar-coated cognitive manipulation tool, a glossy packaging for exporting American values,” it stated.

The Xinhua Institute and China are concerned with US mythology infecting the greater world. And this isn’t new; Wang Huning was studying the myths back in the 1980s. George Carlin used to address it as an internal matter: “They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

Four More Wars!

 

I had intended to follow up my survey of American values—usury, sodomy, and genocide—with some brief notion of looking above and beyond. Perhaps the best I can offer at this point is the first rung of the Ladder of Divine Ascent: Renunciation. Leave the demons to their sad games and have as little to do with them as possible.

And, speaking of demons! In keeping with his agenda to “Make America Great Again,” or, as Max Blumenthal calls it, “Miriam Adelson’s Goals Achieved,” the wise and benevolent Trump has resurrected the U.S. Department of War!

On August 7, 1789, 236 years ago, President George Washington signed into law a bill establishing the United States Department of War to oversee the operation and maintenance of military and naval affairs. It was under this name that the Department of War, along with the later formed Department of the Navy, won the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II, inspiring awe and confidence in our Nation’s military, and ensuring freedom and prosperity for all Americans. The Founders chose this name to signal our strength and resolve to the world. The name “Department of War,” more than the current “Department of Defense,” ensures peace through strength, as it demonstrates our ability and willingness to fight and win wars on behalf of our Nation at a moment’s notice, not just to defend.  This name sharpens the Department’s focus on our own national interest and our adversaries’ focus on our willingness and availability to wage war to secure what is ours. I have therefore determined that this Department should once again be known as the Department of War and the Secretary should be known as the Secretary of War. 

As usual, the Trump engages in a slight misunderstanding of history and reality while simultaneously slapping his neck to keep it orange. And nothing says “Secretary of War” like a dude who Signals (doomed) tactical mission plans to half of D.C., a reporter, and somebody’s brother. USA! USA!

Seriously, this might be one of Trump’s better moves. The Department of Defense was a complete and total failure. For all the money wasted on it, it never defended America. It did nothing as the country was invaded and conquered. The change also amounts to a word game; Americans appear to love word games more than substantial existence itself. Win-win!  

For its latest hijinks, the Department of Defense, or, excuse me, War, allegedly bombed a speedboat somewhere in the Caribbean. The official story is that the dastardly tyrant (i.e., elected leader) of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, sent [checks notes] a team of his narco-terrorists(!) to smuggle [checks notes] drugs … somewhere. Genocide, Inc. claims to have neutralized (i.e., murdered) eleven hombres malos during the operation. As it was the official story, we can safely discount it as a complete and total lie. Methinks, however, that they did kill someone, because that’s what they do.

The Empire has it out for Maduro because he sides with BRICS+ and refuses to play D.C.’s rigged game. No one outside of D.C. has ever heard of his narco terror cartel, a group Mexico insists does not exist. Fishing boats might be the last targets the Empire can reasonably be expected to deal with effectively, if by “effectively,” we mean by acts of piracy and homicide. If the Lord Secretary of War, his Commander-in-orange, and their handlers escalate, and, if recent patterns hold, then look for Venezuela to shoot down a bunch of imperial drones and maybe sink a destroyer or two. In any event, someone stupid will declare victory, FOX will pontificate, the Boomers will boom, Russia and China will continue to walk all over the remnants of the West, the Gaza Genocide will proceed apace, more college students will become illiterate, and wise Americans will progress to the next rung, Detachment. 

There’s more, of course. But for now, there’s just no point. 

Deo vindice.

Happy “Labor Day,” Murika!

The rest of the world celebrates the productive power of work on May 1st in accordance with ancient traditions. The GAE, being a fake, wicked country owned by usury-mongers, tried to avoid giving any credit to working people, only hastily adopting the September holiday in the late 19th century to avert street violence. To get even with the ordinary people, in the 1950s they came up with “Law Day” on May 1st as an ironic way of forcing elite primacy on and over the people while simultaneously encouraging the people to worship their elites, the fake laws, and the rest of the growing dystopia.

Still, this is our (substitute) day, so here’s to us! We have a lot of work to do going forward.

Also! Inching closer and closer to fall!

Beyond the Statistical Discrepancy

Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an interview to the Xinhua News Agency about the Sino-Russian alliance. Read the whole thing.

Question: In recent years, practical cooperation between China and Russia in areas such as energy, agriculture, automotive manufacturing and infrastructure has produced positive results and brought about new breakthroughs, while bilateral trade has reached record levels. How do you assess the current state of Chinese-Russian practical cooperation? What are your plans for further promoting high-quality, mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Russia?

V. Putin: Economic relations between Russia and China have reached an unprecedented level. Since 2021, bilateral trade has grown by about 100 billion dollars. In terms of trade volume, China is by far Russia’s leading partner, while last year Russia ranked fifth among China’s foreign trade partners. I would stress that while trade figures are denominated in US dollar equivalents, transactions between Russia and China are carried out in rubles and yuan, with the dollar or euro share reduced to a statistical discrepancy.

The circus clown-in-chief, the neocons, and the boomers can babble all they like, but the world has shifted. Ain’t no going back.

Bad Boys (and Girls) of the 1980s

Gen X, please mark the calendars. January 20, 2026 is going down in history as a very important day, our day.* That’s when Bad Boy, the first episode of Chris Orcutt’s EPIC ’80s novel, Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, hits the shelves. My short little pre-review:

For such an incredibly rich literary experience, Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, Episode I: Bad Boy, reads easily and beautifully. The book isn’t just a glimpse of the 1980s; it IS the 1980s. Readers from all adult generations (Gen X, especially!) will love every word, scene, and thought.

There is something (well, many things) distinctive and remarkable about Chris Orcutt’s magnum opus. He reaches the heart and mind in a way so natural that the reading process comes off like seeing one’s own original thoughts and emotions in print—this is very rare territory. He does things with Bad Boy that I cannot recall any other author doing, or doing nearly so well. Many of the 1980s period references are presented in novel ways that both explain the referenced elements and add ultra-realistic life to the story. Orcutt’s use of music is mind-blowing. All of his techniques, and his utter mastery of imaginative writing, add a relatability and “cannot put it down” fondness to his already fantastic plot and theme.

The plot, an introduction to the life and times of young hero Avery “Ace” Craig, flows like a roller coaster with action, drama, romance, humor, suspense, thrills, and more. It is all bound together in a simply mesmerizing fashion. There is a deep philosophy at work, magnified by a grounded psychology, an understanding of how men and women relate to each other, and a resonating dose of faith. In the end, readers are left with several concurrent cliffhangers: adventurous, potentially dangerous, and frantically passionate. All of it will leave readers predicting, picking sides, hoping, fearing, laughing, and holding on tight. Hurry up, Episode II!

Bad Boy is a genuinely encompassing and immersive adventure, one that will have the mind and heart buzzing, on multiple levels, and for some time once the reading stops. The book is fun, engaging, and staggeringly impactful. I suspect it will cement Orcutt’s place in the echelons of timeless literature. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.

My much more detailed review is coming along at the right time. And more! Just wait. In the meantime, kindly check out Goodreads and Orcutt’s Site (and Media Page) for more information.

Got that? 1/20/26. We’re going back to 1986!

Major Gen X Salute

I had forgotten about little Samantha Smith, the sweetheart who helped thaw relations between the USA and the USSR. Gazeta Russia has a great pictorial tribute to the young lady, who died 40 years ago today in a travel accident.

40 лет назад, 25 августа 1985 года, в авиакатастрофе погибла 13-летняя американка Саманта Смит, прославившаяся своей борьбой за мир в разгар Холодной войны, перепиской с руководством СССР и поездкой в Советский Союз. Считалось, что она приоткрыла существовавший между странами «железный занавес» и смогла показать жителям СССР и США, что «с той стороны» есть обычные семьи и дети, а ядерной войны никто не хочет.

История началась в 1982 году со статьи в журнале Time, посвященной Юрию Андропову, который пришел к власти в СССР после кончины Леонида Брежнева. В статье говорилось, что новый генсек может быть опасен для США, а в его правление не исключена новая война. Обсудив это с мамой, Саманта по собственной инициативе написала Андропову письмо.

«Уважаемый господин Андропов! Меня зовут Саманта Смит. Мне десять лет. Поздравляю Вас с Вашим новым назначением. Я очень беспокоюсь, не начнется ли ядерная война между Советским Союзом и Соединенными Штатами. Вы за войну или нет? Если Вы против, пожалуйста, скажите, как Вы собираетесь не допустить войну?» — писала она.

В Советском Союзе письмо заметили и даже опубликовали в газете «Правда» — но без ответа со стороны адресата. Это побудило Саманту написать второе письмо (на этот раз советскому послу в США Анатолию Добрынину). В итоге в апреле 1983 года Андропов ей все-таки ответил, заверив, что в СССР тоже никто не хочет никакой войны. И пригласил девочку приехать в Советский Союз. Она согласилась.

-or-

40 years ago, on August 25, 1985, 13-year-old American Samantha Smith, famous for her struggle for peace at the height of the Cold War, correspondence with the leadership of the USSR and a trip to the Soviet Union, died in a plane crash. It was believed that she opened the Iron Curtain that existed between the countries «and was able to show the residents of the USSR and the USA that »on the other side«there are ordinary families and children, and no one wants a nuclear war.

The story began in 1982 with an article in Time magazine dedicated to Yuri Andropov, who came to power in the USSR after the death of Leonid Brezhnev. The article said that the new Secretary General could be dangerous for the United States, and a new war could not be ruled out during his reign. After discussing this with her mother, Samantha wrote a letter to Andropov on her own initiative.

«Dear Mr. Andropov! My name is Samantha Smith. I’m ten years old. Congratulations on your new appointment. I am very worried whether a nuclear war will break out between the Soviet Union and the United States. Are you for war or not? If you are against it, please tell me how you are going to prevent war?» — she wrote.

In the Soviet Union, the letter was noticed and even published in the newspaper «Pravda» —, but without a response from the addressee. This prompted Samantha to write a second letter (this time to the Soviet ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Dobrynin). As a result, in April 1983, Andropov nevertheless answered her, assuring her that no one in the USSR wanted any war either. And he invited the girl to come to the Soviet Union. She agreed.

She made us proud!

COLUMN: The United States of Genocide

The United States of Genocide

 

Having covered the luciferian American “values” of usury and sodomy, herein I now briefly examine their companion principle, genocide. This one was the most difficult to write because it is hideous, because I am disgusted by the Satanic States and its retarded heathen population, and because I’m plain tired.

The term “genocide” was coined during the early 1940s by a Jewish attorney from Poland, Raphael Lemkin. Lemkin spent a great deal of his life campaigning against genocide, drafting the treaty against genocide, and generally hating the wanton mass slaughter of people. Genocide Watch and other organizations continue his work. Genocide Watch lists ten stages of a pogrom. Frequently, multiple stages are in play at the same time. Number nine is the active extermination phase. The key to the formula and the title, the hallmark of a literal genocide, is the numerical reduction of the targeted people. Number ten, by the way, is denial. 

As an example of observing multiple stages in action at the same time, as the people of Gaza starve to death, during the Gaza Genocide, the fat sack of shit, Randy Fine publicly told the Gazans to “starve away.” [Stage Nine.] He added, “This is all a lie anyway.” [Stage Ten.] 

America, during and before the era of the United States, has a long history of genocide. I recently read an estimate that 150 million Native American Indians were exterminated during the European colonization of America. While I find this number speculative, and it is, if it were close to accurate, it would not surprise me. Of course, in that sad regard, the Anglo-Americans had copious help from the Spanish, French, Dutch, and—few like to lump them in—but, in part, from the Indians themselves. On the U.S.’s watch, once about 95% of the Tribes were eradicated, the program turned from murder into patronization. Indians were then expected to ditch their savage ways and become good little (third-class) White Americans. Yankee General Richard Henry Pratt had a term for those proud Indians who refused to submit: “racists.” (That one came back to bite you, eh?)

The U.S. also ran genocidal programs against Blacks, Southerners, Irish, Catholics, Chinese, the poor, Mexicans, and just about anyone else who ever got in the way of ruling elites. It’s still a work in progress. Currently, we’re in year ten of the stage nine elimination of White “posterity” Americans, though theirs is largely (and inexplicably) an auto-genocide. Before any other groups in America start feeling smug about that last part, know that you’re all on the “get-to” list. Everyone is. 

Since the end of World War II, the U.S. has murdered an estimated 30 million people abroad. And I don’t think that includes the death toll from the COVID-19 attack, a U.S. biowarfare genocide attempt on mankind. Including the modified nCoV bug and the fake vaccines could double the previous number. 

Let’s not overlook America’s abortion genocide, with around 70 million American babies murdered during the past fifty years. The U.S. atrocity matches the greater calamity worldwide; over 1 billion babies have been slaughtered globally during the same time period. One could ask Americans, especially American women, if everyone else was throwing their children off a cliff, would they do it too? Of course, there is no need to ask, is there? Despite the repeal of the idiotic and reprehensible Roe v. Wade, the killings continue. 

The two primary foreign projects at the moment are in Ukraine (with ~1.7 million dead Ukrainian soldiers alone) and Gaza (~400-600,000 dead, as estimated by outside academic groups). Survivors of other recent wars and genocides have almost unanimously described what is happening in Gaza as far worse than what anyone else has experienced. There are three reasons for that: 1) the extreme disparity between Hamas and the Occupiers backed by their superpower pet; 2) the fact Gazans are locked in a damned cage with no escape; and, 3) the whole world is watching, for the first time in high definition, and doing little to nothing. There is a scene early in The Thorn and the Carnation where several families take refuge in a makeshift bunker during the 1967 Setback. Their trauma is limited, non-lethal, and over in a few days. Imagine it being unlimited, overly lethal, and unending. Thanks to thousands of pictures and videos flooding Telegram, one need not imagine.

Icing on the devil’s cake! A very few children from Gaza, horribly injured by the Zio-Yankee satanism, were lucky enough to get Visas for medical treatment in America. Thanks to a vile-looking witch named Laura Loon(er), Secretary Foamio, and the orange circus clown-in-chief, their appointments have been canceled. 

There’s more, of course, but I’m stopping here.Thus ends the late trilogy. 

Deo vindice.

“Dasha” Three Years Later

Statement by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

Three years ago, a terrorist act orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence agencies cut short the life of Russian journalist, political commentator, and public figure Darya Dugina (Platonova).

Neither Western pseudo-democracies nor the international organisations obedient to them deigned to react to this treacherous murder, just as they turned a blind eye to other bloody crimes committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis against journalists and war correspondents. Under the patronage of their handlers, the Kiev regime continues to methodically eradicate any dissent, waging nothing short of a hunt against representatives of the Russian media sphere. We honour the sacrifice of all media workers who have perished in the line of duty, and we will do everything in our power to hold those responsible for these atrocities to account.

The tragic fate of Darya Dugina has become, for millions, a symbol of selfless devotion to the Motherland, unwavering dedication, and loyalty to one’s ideals. In Russia and far beyond its borders, Darya’s memory and her creative legacy endure: her books are published in large print runs, and numerous initiatives and projects are implemented, including the Russian Frontier International Youth Award and the public medal For Fidelity to the Russian World and Traditional Values. Streets in Russian cities have been named after Darya Dugina, and her likeness has been immortalised in commemorative murals and memorial plaques. This year, a monument to the courageous journalist, sculpted by Dmitry Alexandrov, was unveiled in Zakharovo Park in the Odintsovo District of the Moscow Region.

The crime against Darya Dugina knows no statute of limitations. Those guilty of committing it will be found and will face inevitable punishment.
