America, IQ, retardation

How many times have I rung a bell (curve) about this? How many times has Vox Day? Now even the clickbait MSM admits there is a terrible cognitive problem in ‘Murica. Cause ‘Muricans be gittin mo dumber.

This is what happens when you practically prohibit your more intelligent natives from reproducing while simultaneously importing hordes of low-IQ foreigners. A net loss of .4 IQ points per year adds up.

Things are dull enough, but they are going to get much, much worse. The USSA, or what remains of it, is headed for the world average IQ of 82. I read somewhere the other day that by 2075, the average White American IQ will be down to 85.

If you like your indoor plumbing … you’d better be ready to build and maintain it all by yourself.

UPDATE: I’m not kidding about the plumbing. Replacing competent men with affirmative action hires and deluded diversityites in engineering schools is a recipe for disaster.

The “Education” Facade Continues to Crumble

America, college, education, schools, violence

Like your SATs? Without affirmative discrimination, and even with it, many colleges are preparing to jettison the last vestige of meritocracy.

They’re also doing away with the precious concept of “majors,” which was as maliciously conceived (rather recently) just like the concept of compulsory schooling. Notice the primary concern is workers and jobs – not education.

And the lower “schools” increasingly resemble zoos run by the violent retarded animal inmates. B-b-but I’m sure your child is safe there.

America, evil, history, hoax

Dr. Roberts wants to know!

What happened to my country? It was torn apart by bitchy white liberals, by the influence of Jewish Marxists known as the Frankfort School, and by the 1965 immigration act that turned the United States into a Tower of Babel. These developments launched the denunciation and “unmasking” that branded America as “racist,” “exploitative,” and “misogynist.” Today our history is a compendium of crimes as the New York Times 1619 Project, now taught in public schools, illustrates.

Preach!

In related news, the demons who destroyed America never stop. READ THIS. It sounds a little like what I’ve been saying about how, some day when it’s just us and them left, the evil globos may come to us and say they depopulated the world of idiots for our benefit. If that happens, we should thank them – with axe strokes.

America, demographics, Hispanics, whites

I’ve tried to explain a few times why the non-Hispanic White count found in the Census reports is an imperfect, but workable proxy guess for the Posterity American population in the US. Civnats all over the place babble contrary platitudes. Here’s why they are pointless. From just 2019 to 2021, the share of Latinos in the US identifying as “White” fell from two-thirds to around 15%. Odds are, it has fallen even lower since. The sudden change in self-identification confirms what has always been true. When it was convenient and advantageous to be us, they were – in title, at least. Now, it’s not, and they are most happy being who they are – another nationality and people. The dirt is not magic.

Kherson? Or Curse On? 

A Very Few Lessons From The Greater Global Conflict – With a ‘Hello’ from the Author

*This column is specially geared towards the audience at Reckonin’ where this one first ran. I imagine others will enjoy it. Reckonin’ link.

Hello, Reckoneers. My name is Perrin and I have a writing problem. I’m back for round two. Apologies. Our lovely and talented hostess, editor, and publisher, the incredible Mrs. Anne, asked me to include a little introductory blurb herewith. So, not one to miss an opportunity to poorly self-aggrandize, I oblige.

What a fine outfit we have around here! I’m pleased as a ham bone in a juke joint. You, dear readers, are the cream of the interwebs crop! And what heavy hitters in the line-up! Mrs. Anne, Dr. Wilson, the esteemed Coot, er, Paul Graham, and all the rest. Some in the roster are familiar to me, and the rest are friends I just haven’t met yet. *In-draft Update: I met one of them, Walt, via comments!* I also could not help but notice that you have … Ilana Mercer. Wow! Mrs. Mercer, in the words of P.I. Tchaikovsky, “you rock.”

A little about me? I am very proud of my edukashun, having graduated from the experimental preschool on the campus of the SEC university where my father taught psychometrics. My alma mater featured a sandbox full of rice and the joint was operated by attractive coeds. Much has changed over the ensuing eons. I went places and did things. The little preschool house is now the university student writing center. That’s humorously ironic, considering what me does this daze.

I started with fiction rather late, though if asked, I deem myself a romancier or auteur de fiction. That sounds better than some alternatives. The Substitute, as fine a book as any, will be rereleased by Shotwell very soon (free some room on the credit cards). There are some short stories, a micro novelette, and a few non-fiction books scattered about. More is coming, much more. I love imaginative writing because I can prevaricate with ease, um, I mean engage both the minds and the hearts of my beloved readers. Personal emotional investment, and so forth. 

Over the past twenty-one years, my columns, essays, short stories, and other scribblings have appeared at various small, unsung outlets, some of which are no longer with us. Until The Piedmont Chronicles decided to “return to its roots,” I was the C.F. Floyd Writer of National Affairs. Since 2016, I’ve written, edited, published, and generally agitated for Freedom Prepper. I also branched into the podcasting world with the Prepper Post News. 

I write about whatever interests me. For a better sense of what I think on a given topic, go to my blog, www.perrinlovett.me, and search among the 5,000+ assorted ramblings. My views tend to skew a little unique, generally tracking Christian, nationalistic, aloof, right-wing Western traditional, satirical, and some other adjectives. Writer’s block is unknown to me. Instead, I usually suffer from writer’s jam, whereby so many ideas flood into my muddled mind that it’s hard to select just one of them to work on. It doesn’t help if what I pick is a fluid subject that keeps washing around. So it is today. I’m now shifting gears to smoothly meld the foregoing tripe with fluid, washing current affairs and some nebulous future probabilities. Consider the following a creative synthesis, wherein I hopefully blend my intro, especially some of my preexisting correspondence, into something useful for this audience, all via some very recent events in Kherson and Poland that give me something to focus on. I’m doing this by way of sub-headers because my original draft came to life and stormed out of the castle. Here we go.

I mentioned my preppers. Southerners and preppers have a lot of overlap, so the following is a natural extension for me, and I hope it works. All year, I’ve advised my valiant prepper audience to watch the Russian SMO as carefully as possible. That means generally disregarding anything the MSM and Brandon’s handlers say. 

Censorship

We live in Clown World, where truth is presented as lies and lies as truth.

Gekaufte Journalisten

That header is also a link to a book, a very important book. Sorry, but it’s in German. The English translation disappeared one day because of censorship. The late Udo Ulfkotte described, with copious examples, how the secret police and deep state of most nations manufacture the news out of thin air. His personal experience during the Iran-Iraq War was on display again as recently as the run-up to the Empire’s assassination of Qasem Soleimani. If they’re reporting something important, they’re lying. A good heuristic is to assume the truth is the opposite of whatever the MSM talking heads say. Other, more honest sources are available. As for our SMO topic and other geopolitical issues, try: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. There are others. With the right information, the intelligent observer has a golden opportunity, because the SMO is an updated version of the show that played out previously in Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and the Confederate States. 

Przewodów and Kherson

In 2020, I cobbled together Get Out!, a guide of sorts aimed at helping innocent young Americans escape the now-in-progress terminal collapse of the US empire. Admittedly, I got a few things wrong. For instance, while I knew about tensions, I did not fully comprehend that the simmering war between the Sino-Russian alliance and the WereWest was about to go hot. I went virtually all-in on the Polish option. I did not count on Poland going full retard, with much of the Continent along for the ride. We just had another idiotic false flag attempt in, of course, Poland. The narrative immediately collapsed, but we were supposed to believe the Russians, who allegedly ran out of missiles over the summer, attacked a rural barn using 5V55K missiles from an antiquated 1970s Ukie S-300 battery. My head was already spinning and the stupid MI6 scriptwriters dropped that kind of nonsense.

To make up for my previous errors, all this year I’ve tried to exercise patience and restraint as the SMO and the greater conflict unfolded. Last week’s strategic withdrawal of the MOD from Kherson provided a great example of what to watch for and how to process what one sees. The move was strategic, rather than tactical, because it was obviously pre-planned and it serves a greater overall agenda. For its part, the mainstream fib machine has maintained a steady stream of lies, projection, and stupidly incompetent propaganda. Pentagram and Marlborough Lines tinhorns predicted the removal would take weeks. It was over the next day – because it was planned weeks in advance. 

Think about it. The NATO-Nazis are openly murmuring belligerence about a dirty bomb, a coalition invasion, and more, all while committing wanton terrorism everywhere, and trying hard to collapse a major dam. They’ve bet the farm, material and manpower-wise, on the latest and greatest counter-offensive ever. This, we are told (for about the 73rd time), is the game-changer. It’s not, of course. The city was already mostly evacuated. Defensive lines east and south are solidly entrenched. Moscow holds the Ukrainian national circuit breaker at the tip of a Kinzhal. The current ground conditions make it difficult to move trucks and tanks around quickly. Winter, hard ground, depleted NATO stockpiles, and, very sadly, many more dead Ukie-NATO men are just around the corner. Why risk anything over an empty town and emptier fields when the whole area can serve as yet another cauldron trap while allowing simultaneous grinding advances elsewhere? Remember, Russia is ramping up a major surprise for the winter months. One step backward, three steps forward. Slowly.

The Russian Way of War

All year, the entire SMO has gone along those lines. And it has frustrated many Western observers. We have become accustomed to the smashing, lightning victories in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and about half the other countries of the world. Rather, we’ve become accustomed to the lies about those ill-advised adventures as told by the media and the government. None of us have ever seen real, combined-arms warfare properly executed. The Russian way is not the WereWestern way. Fake Western warfare ultimately does not work, even against comparatively unarmed opponents like the Taliban. Southerners, take note of what you just read! 

And for Russia, the SMO is less a war and more a hostage rescue, with a little existential emergency thrown in for effect. Them mean old Ruskies have fought this same scenario many times over the past several hundred years. Since WW2, their Great Patriotic War, they’ve liberated something like 1,500 cities. They know what they’re doing, and their neo-Clausewitzian, integrated, modern maneuver warfare works and wins. From the outside, it just requires a little understanding and patience. A grand start in understanding the phenomenon is reading The Russian Way of War by Lester Grau and Charles Bartles – I hope that link to the Yankee Army works. Again, this is a starting point for structural comparison, and not anything approaching in-the-know plans about specific operations.

There is a lot to learn about the history of the NATO-Russian conflict (which is far from limited to Ukraine). There’s more to learn about the overall global conflict and bifurcation too. Some of the lessons might be applicable in the West sooner than many would care to think. I do not believe, or do not want to believe the current struggle will go the H-bomb distance. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did, but I don’t want to believe it’s a real possibility yet. However, it wouldn’t have to go all the way to get very ugly. Make no mistake, the insane, evil, and rather stupid descendants of Leon Trotsky, the neo-cons, or whatever one calls them, those who now rule the falling West, are hell-bent on a war they can’t win. While they hate Russia with a white-hot passion, they only hate China, Iran, [fill in as many blanks as one likes] a little less. One should certainly add “us” to the list because even as they rob and oppress us, they hate us. They won’t mind at all if our sons and daughters die on their vain, wicked behalf.

Just sending NATO forces to Odessa, or trying to, because none of them would make it, or peppering Crimea with Tommy-hawks could suffice to kick Russia into overdrive. They’re going slow and easy in Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhya because the people there are Russians. Again, they’re rescuing their own hostage kin. They don’t even want to harm any more kissing cousin Ukrainians than NATO forces them to. But if they are attacked by hostile foreigners who want to carve Russia into smaller slave states and eradicate the Russian people, then bar the door.

I keep telling anyone who will listen that the Russians are not the Taliban. Moscow is not Tripoli. Putin is not Saddam. The USSA and its NATO puppets rely on massive air power against essentially defenseless opponents. Russia has the best air defense network on earth, literally a generation or more ahead of anyone else. Uncle Sucker’s military over-relies on satellite GPS and ISR when attacking helpless civilians. One false move or false flag and Moscow can blind Washington, MacDill, Bude, etc. Lincoln’s legacy counts on keeping all fire one-way and in theater. Our insane, devil-worshiping leaders now stare down an enemy who can obliterate anything anywhere on the planet, with or without nukes, in less than half an hour. Putin promised any and all interlopers “consequences like [they] have never seen in [their] history.” I think he meant it. And again, this conflict is global. Russia ain’t alone. 

Foreign Lessons for Domestic Disturbance

Even assuming that greater conflict stays confined out in the wider world, the odds are more likely than not that the former USA is in serious trouble. Mathematically assessed, things are going to give, probably by the end of this decade. What’s happening in Ukraine may well be the last classroom demonstration before the big test here. Ergo, pay attention to what you can. Here, I originally listed some common scenarios and responses. I took them out for reasons. Somewhere – I cannot recall exactly, maybe it’s multiple spots – there are breakdowns of how, say, the Yugoslavian Civil War and attendant NATO atrocities give a preview of what’s possibly to come. We’ll get to that another day. 

Know that Ukraine is, or was a modern country not entirely dissimilar from what’s left of America. They even have simmering tribal issues, a BS media, foreign controllers, a fake president, and rigged elections. One thing that I’ve been repeating all year is that it might be very beneficial to pick a town or area in the current war that approximates where one lives in America and watch what happens in the proxy. To be on the safe side, imagine your pre-existing conditions are as bad or worse than those in, say, Lviv or Kharkov. Speaking of Kharkov, Gonzalo Lira, one of the “here” links, above, is in the city and has been reporting what life is like on the knife’s edge when the lights go out and the sirens wail. Pay attention. Watch, learn, extrapolate, come to grips, and prepare. 

In parting, hoping I haven’t frightened anyone, I’ll leave you with a great sense of optimism. It is possible that, as I sketched last week, there could be a peaceful parting of ways. Whether or not, on the macro or micro level, watch what our tiny, degenerate overlords are doing these days. Their whole empire of lies is flying apart around them. They know it and they’re desperate. They wage war against everyone, securing victory against no one. They lash out like a mortally wounded animal, cornered and out of time. Americans, Southerners in particular, though they howl louder than ever, our enemies have never been weaker.

Deo vindice!

America, gen z, get angry!, mental health, rekt

That’s Gen Z slang for “wrecked.” It accurately describes the prospects of a young American generation that is 42% ill and 57% medicated. I suspect that most of this is real, and it is a huge problem caused by decade after decade of societal destruction.

Forty-two percent of America’s young-but-cynical Generation Z are dealing with a mental health condition, a new survey finds. A range of these issues were largely identified during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The analysis by Harmony Healthcare IT suggests tens of millions of Gen Z young adults started dealing with a mental health problem in the months immediately following the start of the global pandemic in March 2020. The Indiana-based data management company’s survey highlights a staggering percentage of young adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the pandemic.

Three-quarters of these Americans, all under the age of 25, say the pandemic negatively impacted their mental health, with many citing loneliness and uncertainty about the future.

Eighty-five percent of Gen Z respondents say they’re worried about the future in general. The vast majority cite their personal finances, the economy, the environment, and the country’s increasingly polarized political landscape as top concerns.

Nearly 90 percent of Gen Z respondents believe their generation is not set up for success and 75 percent feel they are at a disadvantage in comparison to previous generations (like baby boomers or Gen X) who are at least 42 years-old in 2022. This latest poll portrays Gen Z as overwhelmingly cynical about the post-pandemic world and what role they may one day play in it.

We, especially Gen X, need to be very angry about what we have done and what we have allowed to be done to our children. There are current and predictive economic graphs that fully back the 90% lack of success suspicion. In fact, it might be a little overly optimistic. And who wouldn’t be depressed or maddened as hell by the devolved state of our culture and nation?! This is a damned shame and a crime. We must fix this at all costs!

2022, America, dead empire, don't vote, election, evil, post-political age

If You Vote

 

Next week, there’s another big, fun, exciting, and utterly meaningless election a-coming! In keeping with the prevailing stupidity, the fed-posters are ramping up their activities accordingly. I found THIS tripe on the alt socials. J6 set-ups on steroids, the Sheriffs(!), USA. INC., and muh holy constitution. It leans, I’ll admit, in a noble direction. Then it stumbles and falls on itself in a fashion only a Boomer-con could find plausible. My advice? Just wait and stand fast. And don’t vote. 

B-b-but, if we don’t voat!!!! Shut up. I’ve been cognizant of US electoral politics since about 1980, and it’s truly done and over. If one really can’t remember just two years ago, then know that the 2020 election was stolen, and the theft was ratified and accepted. They perfected the system they’d been playing with for decades. And it worked. And nothing was done about it. Over. Finished.

B-b-but, GOP gonna sweep! Shut. Up. Pulling from the dead and decayed 1994 playbook, the Republicants once again offer the Contract With America! Excuse me, now it’s the Commitment To America! Or the Covenant With The Dupes. Something. So what? If the GOP, one or both houses, exactly what will they change? What will they do? How will it be any different than the last umpteen times they controlled Congress? It won’t. 

Demoncrats, CON-servatives, and libertardians can believe anything they like. None of it matters. That’s because the USSA only has, has only had for a while now, one damned party in charge. And it’s not even a political party anymore. In fact, I genuinely suspect they do not need the politicians at this point, other than to wave around each November for the hickory-headed rubes. The era of American politics is over. If any Christian, nationalist threat arose to the power of the oligarchy, or to the extent it already has, then they would move mountains to suppress it. There are no viable alternatives; it’s merely a choice of evils. One doesn’t really have a choice, as the elections are rigged; FAUX reported the outcome of the AZ gubernatorial race – oops!- 12 days before the election. This is, love it or loathe it, the post-political age. 

The empire is in terminal collapse – meaning that nothing can stop the decline and fall. And, the fall should be welcomed, because the sooner it is over, the sooner sane, rational people can build new societies. Let it collapse. On its own. That means, without your pointless participation. 

Our real enemies, the deviant little monsters who have destroyed the American nation and who are rapidly bringing the empire to an end, know they are losing. They’re desperate. One of the few things they look forward to is the continuing endorsement of the masses. Therefore, do participate. Let the evil they do be theirs alone.

But, if you do vote, then consider the following.

If you vote, you are proving yourself to be stupid and faithless.

If you vote, you are making yourself, if ever so slightly, complicit in the general crimes.

If you vote, you are openly, perhaps proudly advertising to the cabal that you are a weak, compliant, meek, and mildly useful servant. 

If you vote, you are rubber-stamping the evils of 1787, 1861, 1913, 1965, 2001, 2020, and so on.

If you vote, you are supporting the debt, democracy, and demographic obliteration of your people (whoever they are).

If you vote, you are saluting the tiny, wicked, retarded, foreign rats and rodent accomplices who have brought ruin upon the American nation, the United States political entity, and much of the rest of the world.

If you vote, you are voting for the only government in history to drop an atomic bomb on a church. (They’re itching to drop more)!

If you vote, you are supporting war after war after war.

If you vote, you are supporting war crime after war crime after war crime.

If you vote, you are supporting pure, luciferian usury and the complete theft of all real value remaining in the economy.

If you vote, you are agreeing with the ongoing and massive invasion of the US.

If you vote, you are supporting corruption in everything and from all directions.

If you vote, you will lend aid to the terrorists who attacked the US on 9/11.

If you vote, you are lending credibility to the cult that ran every bio-pys-ops, from Tuskegee to C19.

If you vote, you are supporting the altar of Moloch indoctrination camps and retardation centers known as “schools.”

If you vote, you are legitimizing the wholesale sodomitical degeneration of all society and culture.

If you vote, you are enabling weasels like [insert a name: “Biden,” Pelosi, Clinton, Trump, Bush, McConnell, Schumer, et cetera].

If you vote, you are practically begging to surrender any last rights you may have, by chance, retained.

If you vote, you are willingly accepting your status as a slave.

If you vote, you are assisting those who openly hate you, want you dead or enslaved, have spent many years trying to enslave and/or kill you, and have enslaved and killed many others over many years.

If you vote, you are actively suborning open satanism.

Don’t do that. Please stop supporting our enemies. Instead, keep the faith and the hope, and prepare for the eventual rebirth and rebuilding.

*The preceding is obviously not endorsed by or associated with any of the civilization averse enemies of Jesus Christ and decent mankind.

America, demographics, future

I wonder why. A majority of US residents foresee a declining standard of living for their children. Given the crushing effects of democracy, debt, and demographics, the decline is a mathematical certainty.

This all, of course, assumes there will be future generations.

The Hijacking of Christian Nationalism?

ADL, America, Christian Nationalism, grifters

One wonders if they played Ray Steven’s Mississippi Squirrel Revival at the big hootenanny in PA.

Since April of last year, the ReAwaken America Tour has brought together fanatical-election deniers, anti-vaccine doctors, self-proclaimed prophets and conspiracy theorists to enthusiastic crowds across the country. The central message is that America’s white, evangelical Christian lifestyle is under threat from the globalist cabal on the “awake” on the left.

The Traveling Carnival of Misinformation mixes entertainment, politics, and theology and creates an existential argument for attendees: The debate is no longer about Republicans versus Democrats, they say, it is about good versus evil. And it’s time to choose a side.

Since its inception, the tour has been condemned by mainstream religious leaders for its extremist views. Community concerns have forced its organizers to relocate venues twice, in New York and Washington state. The Anti-Defamation League has targeted this in a report.

Read all about it. At the outset, let me say that if the child rape and murder apologists at the ADL are against you, you must be doing at least a little something right. Ditto for receiving castigation from big, fake religion, big, fake academia, and assorted “mainstream” losers. Double ditto if the CIA MSM calls your revival the “Traveling Carnival of Misinformation.”

That said, something in this phenomenon feels familiar. I sense great grifting and misdirection. $500 for a VIP what now? Jesus didn’t hawk merchandise or golden tickets. It’s like a little gospel of prosperity mixed with bad practical politics. Jesus is also not a Republican’t, and I imagine he’d lump them in with the children of the devil, liars, thieves, and murderers to the end.

Much about this affair would appear to indicate judeo-churchianity, rather than literal Christianity. Beware false, second, or double Baptisms! Also, I’m not convinced these folks are into legitimate nationalism of the omni variety. For instance, they’re probably okay with, happy about even, Israel’s latest illegal crime of aggression against Syria. And I doubt many of these people could accurately define, for American nationalistic purposes, exactly who the Americans are.

In their defense, and outside the MSM hit piece, they have had a healthy roster of speakers in the past – along with some weaker choices. And they get it right when they say the landscape has shifted from Republican’t v. Demoncrat to Christians v. satanists. Rather, they say it’s about good versus evil, and that a side needs to be picked. True. Still, in the post-political age, fighting a spiritual war against the devil, the general consensus appears to be … vOaT REPUBLICAN(T)! “I mean, sure, they done stole our ‘lection the last time. But, we’ll just vote harder!”

There’s an element of insincerity. Or of unreality. Paster What’s-his-name: “We’re in a war. It’s a battle! We have to win! And, I mean we win this battle in a war by voting, and NOT by violence or anything. We’ll only get rough and rowdy if the FedGov comes fer our gunz! Just kidding! No, we’ll give those up without a fight too…”

I suppose if one is a Boomer, civic nationalist, pseudo-Christian protester, then this might be about as good as it will get. Reminds one of the fall of the Tea Party, no? And if it makes some otherwise decent people feel good, then it’s at least good for that. And again, if the devil’s ADL is angry with you, then you’re doing something right – just don’t apologize for anything.

Alexander Zubatov, America, college, education, failure, TS Eliot

Alexander Zubatov offers a very good essay on the decline of US colleges and universities. Find it at The American Conservative.

Why is American higher education such an abject failure? Our system of higher education simultaneously and confusingly aims at two entirely distinct goals—and, as such, is discharging neither of them especially well. It is, on the one hand, supposed to prepare us for the labor market by arming us with practical skills, and on the other hand, supposed to turn us into Renaissance men and women, who have a deeper understanding of our world. But the most popular major in college today is “business”—a nonsense major that neither educates anyone in the broad sense nor prepares them for anything in particular in the narrow sense of the workaday world. Christopher Lasch observed that most college students “get little training in writing (unless ‘Commercial English’ is an acceptable substitute), seldom read a book, and graduate without exposure to history, philosophy, or literature.”

Read the whole thing. Note that the T.S. Eliot quote came from a work from the era immediately after World War II and was not limited to “higher” education, at least as it exists today. It was bad then. It’s worse now.

Also, he’s 100% correct – “business” is a nonsense major almost completely devoid of education. And what a shame to wait until college to become acquainted with (or not) history, philosophy, and literature. It’s not an accident that those three subjects, and many others, have been erased from nearly all levels of modern/post-modern education.
