The 2020 Thanksgiving Column

Your author will be the first to admit that 2020 has been one of the strangest and possibly the most alarming years in memory. And, this is coming from a man who has seen some doozies this past decade or so.

By way of a little recap, we’ve had, just since January:

    • A surprise beating courtesy of Iran;
    • A long-brewing financial and economic collapse;
    • A fiat-fueled stock market rodeo roller coaster;
    • The implementation of a long-planned civil lockdown and police state;
    • The beginnings of a civil war, started by, of all things, a junkie’s overdose;
    • The most peacefullest protests that ever ruined a series of cities;
    • The essential ban on Amerikans visiting civilized nations;
    • A presidential shitshow election like some lifetime pièce de résistance from Carlin;
    • Halloween ALL DAMNED YEAR, doctors and bank robbers being the only costumes;
    • The end of “live” sports and the Masters in November(!);
    • Another predictable and predicted UGA “next year” season;
    • Cumulative behaviors to vindicate the hardest-core preppers; and
    • There was some sort of rumor about a cold bug coming out of a bat sandwich or something.

Yeah, so it’s been a little rough. And … Yours truly is happy about and thankful for all of it!

First, the shining independent, ordinary moments. I concluded, early, early this winter, my great experiment in public “school” education. I succeeded as they failed, confirmation of my grand theories. HOMESCHOOL!!! Then, almost out of the blue, Freedom Prepper returned with a vengeance. What started as old-school site work soon transformed into a budding media empire. I didn’t know it to start, but I have a video and podcast show, which now allows me direct interaction with the real American heroes out there. We also sell one hell of a coffee bean. TPC marches along, a bit slower than it did, but relentlessly. There’s a new project. Times being what they are, I keep writing fiction, lately venturing into the rewarding and imaginative world of the non-polemical. And, I have a new reason to love (South) Eastern Europe.

Now, here’s why I find satisfaction in the more tedious developments of this plague of an annum. Around twenty-five years ago, I suspected that things in my nation were going astray. I naturally figured this was some still-to-come distant unfolding, perhaps akin to something out of a dystopian novel. While I was a good two decades ahead of the curve – and many still don’t or can’t see a certain writing on a certain wall – I was a bit late in my realization. It wasn’t entirely my fault, as the America I thought I knew had essentially ceased to exist even before I was born. In life, such things happen. Fast-forwarding to more recent years, I began to notice serious structural problems here and there, more than a few trends, and I began to formulate theories (laughingly, I surmise escape plans might have been a better calculation, though there’s yet time for that – and, now, a destination). Bit by bit, I eased my way out of the mainstream and the popular (how it’s popular, I do not know) culture. After becoming what amounts to an extraverted hermit, I was given to second-guessing, as people sometimes are. 2020 cured that.

This was the first time, the first year that I called a new hoax in real-time. Others, to their great credit, have done the same. However, the great majority have done what great majorities are wont to do – falling hard and fully for whatever they’ve been told. Had everyone rejected the new lies from the same, usual lying sources, the past ten or eleven months would have been far smoother. “Smooth,” we know, does not necessarily equal “good.” But, instead, they followed the commands of their mid-witted-at-best and satanically-evil-at-worse leaders and betters and influencers (whatever the hell those are) and led us down the COVIDian path to the present. 

I have made the right calls! Knowing my road lies apart from the bulk and that I will never sink to their worldview or fearful reactionary existence has freed me in a wonderful, gratifying manner. While I love (many of) them, I have almost nothing in common with the preponderance of the people. And while I really and truly wish them well, as well as their ways will allow them to accomplish, I see no need to continue a pointless association. We’re parting ways, with or without any real separation, and we will all be the better and the happier for it. At least, I will. Hell, I already am! And, for this great confirmation, I owe much to the year of the lord of this earth, Corona 2019+1. Never did the words of Saint Paul the Apostle ring truer: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV). In all things, especially those things that might appear harsher or more difficult, give thanks. 

And so I do!

In advance, I’m already giving thanks for what comes next year and in those soon to follow. As America, my home, was upended and diluted, so too will be the United States polity. The process, already in progress, will be challenging, but the longer and more arduous the walk, the better the scenery, right? As many lives become more complicated, I’d like mine to simplify even further. As dystopia unfolds, let new novels be written. As the more lies are told, so let the search for truth continue. And, for what it’s worth, I’m most happy to know who’s been behind the tumult and who’s abetted him and them. 

We, meaning me, you the heritage Westerns, and all the rest, have our work, differing or similar, cut out for us. Let’s meet it head-on. Let’s start by being as thankful as once were the sons and daughters of England in the New World. May Peace be upon you.

The great nation keeps sounding better and better. First, they shrugged off the satanic demands of the “conservative, Republican” US State Department that they open the children of Poland up to pedophiles. Now, the nation’s top court has essentially outlawed the very few abortion exceptions that were previously (last few years) allowed. The child killers and globopedos of the world are understandably upset.

Poland’s top court has ruled that abortions in cases of foetal defects are unconstitutional.

Poland’s abortion laws were already among the strictest in Europe but the Constitutional Tribunal’s ruling will mean an almost total ban.

Once the decision comes into effect, terminations will only be allowed in cases of rape or incest, or if the mother’s health is at risk.

Rights groups had urged the government not to increase restrictions.

The Council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights said the day marked a “sad day for women’s rights”.

“Removing the basis for almost all legal abortions in Poland amounts to a ban and violates human rights,” Dunja Mijatovic wrote on Twitter.

Then, go wreck some other, lesser nation, you bastards! The unborn (and born) children of Poland are assuredly ecstatic about their human rights being upheld.

Poland = Christian civilization.

By Process of Elimination

As Seen At TPC.

No, this has nothing to do with last Saturday’s Georgia-Alabama game. I gave my advice in that regard, last fall; though perhaps I should have added the word “taller” in the description under point two. It matters little as it appears that my points were not heeded. No, this column is titled as it is because I wrestled with too many subjects, settling on none. In my defense, I’ve been a little busy with some other things lately and the prospects for this particular work were slightly speculative, even depressing. So! I decided to go with something safe and sound: education.

Rather, this is about IQ, which in turn, is extremely determinative of educational achievement. 

Well, shit, this is really a review of a book review, but bear with me.

Coming on October 29, 2020: In the Know: Debunking 35 Myths about Human Intelligence by Dr. Russell T. Warne. 

Read, if you will, James Thompson’s review preview at Unz. 

Warne is, like my old man was, an educational psychologist. His new book focuses on dispelling popular (and popularly deceptive) myths about psychometrics. That field was my father’s focus from around 1971 until 1989, with most of his major work published during the Seventies, before, I imagine, Warne was born. Some of Dad’s papers are still cited, with The Effect of Violating the Assumption of Equal Item Means in Estimating the Livingston Coefficient (1978) referenced this year (ThaiJo, Thailand, January 2020). Here’s hoping that In the Know enjoys similar longevity along with deeper penetration into the psycho-industrial complex and the surrounding culture. God knows we need it. 

As Dutton and Woodley demonstrated in At Our Wits’ End (2018), general intelligence in Western nations is collapsing. IQ being one of the three primary components of a stable, even recognizable society, this is just a wee bit important. Yet, in defiance of measured statistical reality, the usual suspects continue to parrot nonsense such as “g doesn’t exist,” or “it’s environmental, socio-economic,” or “IQ is a social construct.” Enough. It would be more accurate to say that society is an IQ construct. 

Warne’s attempt to correct the falsehoods is admirable. However, and I’m sure he’s aware, those misstatements are largely intentional. In fact, they are part and parcel with the overall scheme to destroy Western Civilization via mass deception, mass coercion, and mass demographic upheaval. One such lie is well addressed by a quick summary in Thompson’s article:

[Myth] 4 Intelligence Is a Western Concept that Does Not Apply to Non-Western Cultures

…

If intelligence really varies in character between different cultures, then it should be very difficult to extract the “Western” general factor, yet in 31 countries, and using a wide variety of tests, 94 of the 97 (96.9%) samples produced g either immediately or after a second factor analysis. Moreover, the g factor is about as strong in the non-Western samples as it is in typical Western samples. Most countries find “Western” intelligence tests very useful, once they have been translated and some language and specific knowledge items altered or removed. To cap it all, dogs, rats, mice, donkey and primates show g factors. It looks like an evolutionary adaptation.

This cultural apologist claptrap is akin to saying that gravity doesn’t apply in Africa because of Newton. As Warne correctly notes, IQ testing and the understanding of the testing process and the precision of the test results rank as the most mathematically-certain facet of psychology and, in fact, all of the social sciences. But, again, at the higher, motivated levels, the truth doesn’t matter. They know, they’re just pushing the devil’s agenda anyway.

They’re throwing out the tests – just like I did. When your father studied IQ statistics for a living and regularly reviewed, normed, or re-normed IQ tests, who do you think was usually the first test subject? This also goes for your father’s faculty colleagues and graduate students. Yeah. Having completed MORE THAN A FEW Wechsler and Stanford-Binet batteries, I know something about them. Having lived decades among the various-leveled denizens of the bell curve, I can attest to the inherent accuracy in the assessments; in the wild, I can sense it and almost see it. 

I had a small collection of various versions of the tests. I had them. During the … great restructuring, they became casualties like so many tools, books, furniture articles, and other weighty items. I feel poorly about it all, but I have an excuse. The globo educrats and warped SJWs, as part of the complete destruction of systemic education in the fading US, threw out (or, are throwing out) the testing process, without excuse or good cause. They know what they’re doing and I know why. We all do. If you’re out to wreck something like a university, but your useful hordes cannot on their own gain admission, then the first step is to replace reliable metrics with those more touchy and feely. Cue Carlin: “Pretty soon all you’ll need to get into college is a pencil.” That’s a battle for another book, or rather, that’s a battle for unschooling, homeschooling, and general autodidacticism.

At any rate, consider buying this book next week and reading it. Then, you can use the presented rebuttals, casually, with those who innocently share the misunderstandings. Every little helps. The ultimate fallback of the defenders of ignorance is always baseless name-calling. Be ready for that – rhetoric with rhetoric, when or where necessary.

And, the necessary when and where for next week, especially for the TPC crowd, will be some fall holiday-themed fiction! Just so you’re in the know: it’ll be spooky fun.

EURO MICROS (and Others)

Welcome, intrepid travelers, to part nine, the final segment in our course on European escapism. Remember to review the following in order to come up to speed:

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

PART VIII: Ukraine, Russia, and More

 

Let’s think small, for a moment, shall we?

Sometimes big, good things come in smaller packages. Here’s a quick look at the Microstates of Europe. These are postage-stamp-sized places in out of the way locations, some you’ve heard of, others you haven’t. In the end, I’ll add in a few nations outside Europe that are still worth a cursory investigation – a bonus for you!

Herein, I will concentrate on two quaint little nations, both mountainous, with a shortlist of others to follow.

ANDORA

Who else can say they harassed Hannibal with mountain guerilla warfare, fought the Moors with Charlemagne, and took an active “neutral” role in defeating the Axis Powers during World War Two? I have no idea who else could, but the Andorrans can. 

Welcome to the zany, happy little mountain hideaway no one knows exists. Andora is real. She sits high on the hills (the Pyrenees) between Spain and France, a nation the size of a small US county. 75,000+ Andorrans happily share their prosperity, history, and traditions a world away from, though only a short drive to, the rest of the EU.

Of that 75,000 (and, due to rampant tourism, there are generally more folks than that about), a third are literal Andorrans. Another 60% come from Spain, France, and Portugal. We’ll say it’s 97% Euro homogeneous, with the bulk of the minority composed of seasonal and resort workers, generally from Arabic states. The people are roughly 94% Christian, with a full 90% belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. The national average IQ is roughly center-average, around 100. 

All of these good people do something right because they hold the record for the highest life expectancy in the world! They’re as healthy as we can get, and they like it that way. They also enjoy decent novelty in their civic lives. The national postage stamp is governed by what amounts to a town council. And, they have a Prince for a chief executive. However! Unlike anywhere else in the world, the Monarch is … appointed! That’s right. It’s a strange deal, but when the time comes to meet the new boss, a leader is selected by a two-man committee composed of the President of France and the Catholic Bishop of some town (I forget which) in Spain. No hanging chads and no stupid fads; wrap your heads around that at your leisure.

When they’re not living forever, they like to socialize and talk, officially speaking Catalan (a Spanish-ish Romance language). And, given their geography, resorts, ultra-high-tech and modern everything, and status as a duty-free TAX HAVEN, they frequently entertain French, Spanish, Portuguese, and even English.

Being located between and sheltered by two larger nations, they have little need for any military or associated spending. They have police, of course, and a part-time, kinda-sorta might-show-up militia, not that it is regularly called on. Mountains are easy to defend and it’s all the simpler when an enemy would have to march through or fly over a larger country with a standing army. Of course, should France or Spain turn on them (you), it might go poorly – be nice to your neighbors! (This has rarely ever been more than an administrative issue).

Here’s a more common dilemma: how to get home from France. Assuming you drive back, you have to make this terrible choice upon reaching the border. Do you zip through the new freeway tunnel and arrive in minutes? Or, do you meander down the old highway, taking in all the gorgeous scenery and eating up a few more minutes? Well??? Així és la vida, as the Catalonians say.

All this perfection does not come cheap. Things can be a little pricey (and, it’s all priced in Euros). One popular local trick for beating the higher costs is to be rich. If you’re not, then there is work and, I suppose, some discounts here and there. Shop around if you’re interested. They’ve got it all if it’s a tad small. Geesh … now, to a similar story in,

LIECHTENSTEIN

After Andora, you’ll feel like a minnow in the tub with some other minnows in Liechtenstein. There, one finds only half the population, spread throughout the valleys of a nation the size of a medium-sized American county. Of course, there may be more tourists and passers-by than citizens, but you’ve still got a whopping 62 square miles of space. 

Oh, and the natives are rather wealthy, hosting a per capita GDP somewhere between two and three times that of the US. Yes, it’s another very small and pretty expensive, but physically pretty, place.

Scenery everywhere! The little nation that can is situated smack-dab in the middle of Switzerland and Austria, in the Alps. If you need a job, you’re in luck, as Liechtenstein has more companies than people. And, the taxes are so low as to flirt with the ridiculous. Again, as things are priced, you’ll need the money.

And, you’ll like the people, 95% of whom are ethnically European, with a few “others” mixed in, usually for cheap labor, which – keep an eye on it – usually doesn’t turn out cheap in the end. The people are 85% Christian, and 75% Catholic. And, they all clock in with an above normative average IQ! The people are smart enough to warrant a rare direct democracy, though they are checked by the soothing influence of another kindly Prince, this one of the more common hereditary kind.

They all, officially, speak German, though one will hear the occasional French, Italian, or English conversation. Business is conducted in the Swiss Franc. If you must be doubly-landlocked, this might be the place to do it.

Now, for a brief naming of the other little-bitty city-states of Europe:

Malta – an island with some recent arrivals, but with a higher IQ.

Monaco – Another Prince’s wealthy backyard where Roman Catholicism is the official religion, the people are homogenous, and on average, brighter than Amerikans.

San Marino – It’s ancient and it’s essentially Italy. Home to some of the smartest people in the world. 

Luxembourg – Pricey Monarchy where people are smart, look the same,  are mostly Christian.

And now, for another bonus, I’ll throw out the names – and not much more – of some viable places of potential located elsewhere:

ELSEWHERE

New Zealand,

Chile.

Argentina,

Uruguay,

The far north of Canada (for the cold and hearty who require little companionship), and there are more, but you’ll have to do your homework. Anywhere will have pros and cons. I’d suggest perhaps avoiding the places already popular with American (Boomer) Expats, ie: Costa Rica, Belize, etc.

When you go, wherever it is, remember why you’re going. And remember that the evil never sleeps; we must resist the siren-songs of the globalist everywhere and all the time. Postcards, etc.

And, next time, we finally get around to those of us who remain in place.

Okay, I Think It’s Poland (Poland 3.0?)

This installment will be appended to Poland 2.0. Congratulations, President Duda! Keep the Faith, keep the freedom!

UPDATE (7/13/20): Okay, I Think It’s Poland

We interrupt this continuing exploration of the rest of civilization to bring you more astounding news and facts about Polska. This is subpart four-A, or Poland 3.0, or … Even More Poland!

One, who knows the lying Western media, can generally tell when they’re lying by the way they couch news of events. Anything they say is bad tends to be good and vice versa. So it was with the quick snippet of nonsense I caught on CNBC announcing the re-election of Polish President Andrzej Duda. Congratulations, Mr. President! Keep given’ em hell!

Here’s how Pawel Knut reported the victory at CNBC’s sister outlet, NBC “News:” Poland exit polls mean victory for homophobic Andrzej Duda — and misery for LGBTQ people. I always refer to NBC “News” with the “News” in quotation marks for a reason. These are the people who brought you George Zimmerman’s 911 call, with a few minor edits. They also had a correspondent who made a fuss out of his harrowing illness with the CoronaHoax – except that he never had it. Now, they slander a very good man because he dares to defend and promote his people. They are especially pissed-off that, for all the homopedo propaganda, the Polish People, praise them, kept the Faith. There’s no need to quote anything from the virulently anti-Polish, anti-Christian, anti-White, anti-traditional tirade of a sad man who makes his living debasing human existence. However, as is frequently the case, his lies have some basis in truth. 

He is correct about communism and the mighty Catholic Church keeping Poland united and traditional. He uses the word “homogenic” as a slur. Visit Poland, and you’ll see it is a Blessing, and that it is endorsed by one of the few uncucked branches of the Church. And, for all its failings, this does demonstrate again that communism is preferable to globalism, in that the aim of the communists is to control a nation, not destroy it. 

He is also correct, though his anger is misplaced, that Duda and the Polish People rightly equate LGBTP with pedophilia. That’s what the “P” stands for! And, yes, they did infiltrate the P’s nascent camp, finding exactly what one would find in a den of satanic debauchery. It’s not a smear campaign, it’s the horrible truth.

Poland is, always has been, and will continue to be a place for sane, peaceful, traditional, and Faithful Europeans of the highest order. It’s a place where ordinary family men, burly football fans, and nothing-like-those-in-Minneapolis police unite to protect women, children, and civic order from insane criminals. That’s why I can safely say that, as the NAWA program suggests, Poland would be my first choice. It’s a place for us. If anyone finds it miserable, then they should leave and never return.

Learn more about this wonderful way of life by reading Jack Krak’s (I’m betting that’s a pseudonym) five-part series on Poland and life in happy Krakow at AmRen. Start with Part One. 

In Part Three, Jack gets into the Polish school system. Those who know me, know that I still suffer from the education bug despite Dr. Ironsides’s success in closing down Amerika’s public skoole cisdem, at least for a few months (yes, we’re claiming victory!). If you’re young and you move to Polska, then you should contemplate marriage and a family as soon as possible. That means kids and kids mean learning. I still favor a home approach, including unschooling – all of which is legal, accepted, and practiced in Poland. Just know that, if you send the tykes to the local schoolhouse, they’ll get a real education there. 

Earlier, I noted that the Poles practice a variant of the classical model. Jack goes into some detail about the curriculum. Suffice to say, it differs radically from that in the States. The short summary is that Polish schools work, while Amerikan skooles do not. (Polish kids can tell time on a clock, for instance).

Poland only spends about 40% of the US average expenditure per pupil. Yet, somehow – and this is so strange given what we’re constantly lectured to about “need mo’ money!” – Poland outranks and outclasses the Empire in every measurable category. Poland pecks around the top ten in reading, math, and science, which features very stiff competitive ground because all of the top performers are, what’s the word? They’re all homogenic societies as Herr Nut would call them. (Some of the other high competitors are also covered in this series!) The US hits in the twenties and the forties. Yeah… 

Poland does not have school buses, and yet, somehow the kids all make it to school every day. While there, no one gives them a free lunch. Somehow they avoid starvation. The sweet children do not suffer from stormtrooper resource officers, dogs, metal detectors, etc, because their schools don’t use them or need to. In Polish schools, when not studying multiple foreign languages, simultaneously, the kids speak Polish. They don’t waste money on big team sports and other non-educational activities, viewing such as the province of the individual’s free time and proclivities. By the way, while Amerika is the most obese of the larger countries, Poland ranks a slim 69th, so obviously they’re approach works.

There is no “diversity” amongst the studentry, and thus, there is no associated distraction, slowing, coddling, or crime. Few problems, and many benefits. Jack reports that a recent education scandal revolved around an ill-fated plot to introduce soft drinks and candy into the schools. Less sugar = better health = more learning. I’ll take scandals like that.

I think I hinted, earlier, that the Polish system was somewhat like the French. It is. The students, upon reaching a certain advanced age, take something akin to le Bac, through the results of which they sorted by interests and abilities. They leave the one-size-fits-none approach to the diverse, money-obsessed, and failure-prone countries like Amerika. 

Read all five of his installments. Poland isn’t perfect, being the abode of humans, but its imperfections are manageable, microscopic by comparison, and appear to blend with the overall charm of the place.

I’ve been asked about residency applications, and I think I’ve covered that, at least as to starting the process. Now, some of you want to jump the pistolet and know about obtaining citizenship. That’s great. Find updated information about the requirements and routes, HERE. You can also utilize services like this one to ease the process along. The main barrier is compatibility, which I assume will not be a terminal problem for anyone who has made it this deep into the series. The second issue is paperwork, which I sincerely hope you like. Remember to get it certified and officially translated! As a reminder, consider hiring an attorney like Mr. Sawicki. 

You likely were not born there and I don’t think any of you will be admitted by way of minor adoption (of you), so let’s look at the feasible routes.

Polish Descent: If you have Polish blood, you’re in! Provided, of course, you submit the reams of necessary papers.

Marriage: Marry a lovely Pole and it will help with the process of,

Naturalization: Speak convincing Polish, don’t be a criminal, keep a job, own or rent a house, kill many trees en route to certification. Time requirements apply. I expect that being a student or an English instructor would greatly assist with this process.

There’s also the miraculous provision of Article 18, which I will leave alone for now – I’ll keep my private plans private, thank you.

Another cool and patriotic development of late is the reconstitution of the Polish Territorial Defence Force. This is the Polish National Guard, reserve force, or militia. In a year or so, they aim to host, in addition to their regular armed forces, a 54,000-man “home guard.” Such is part-time and voluntary, armed and organized, and will allegedly provide backup or auxiliary support to the army or police if needed. I think I know why they’re arming up: Soros, you and your trash just ain’t coming in! If you go, consider volunteering. It may be possible to do so as a resident and not yet a citizen. What better what to ingratiate yourself with your new compatriots – which I mentioned elsewhere is critical – than to stand with them in defense of everything they (and you) hold dear?

Again, I started with the first three recommended nations for a reason, with Poland the very first and foremost. These sections were originally published piecemeal. If you’re reading straight through, then, yes, I do believe I am trying to sell Poland. Maybe buy it while you can. Postcard, etc.

 

*Now, I return to the final, scheduled parts of the series. Up next: The Microstates!

UKRAINE, RUSSIA, and THE REST

UKRAINE, RUSSIA, and THE REST

We’re nearing the end of the tour-of-Europe, with a quick glance at two final Eastern nations and a cursory glimpse at the Rest of the European West. Welcome to part eight. 

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

No apologies, young friends, but I really have to speed this along. Our first two destinations you have heard of, though they are somewhat historically, politically, and economically different than those we’ve covered. Both still fit within my tripartite matrix. The list that follows them is, well, a list. Here are the two final Eastern Euro nations of the great tour:

UKRAINE

It’s, as might be guessed, majority (78%) Ukrainian. The remainder is mostly Russian and the total demographic composition is roughly 98-99% similar, if not utterly homogeneous. 80% are Christians, with 60% belonging to the Eastern Orthodox Church; 95% are “believers.” As such, they tend to be intelligent, solidly “average” on average, and ahead of the declining US.

The languages are, again, as might be expected, Ukrainian and Russian. The currency is the Hryvnia, one of which roughly equals .04 USD. There’s is a wide-open, beautiful country, with a rapidly developing, increasingly sophisticated economy. They are a proud people of tradition. One of the traditions is intermittent disagreement with,

RUSSIA

Okay, here’s a brief slow-down. When I was a boy, we were reliably told that Russia (then, the USSR) was the “evil empire.” They were our “cold” adversaries and their people suffered miserably under communism. And, now, today… Today, we have completely flipped the equation around. The land of the free is dying from a million self-inflicted wounds. Meanwhile, in Russia, they have flat taxes, superhighways, skyscrapers going up at an Arab or Asian rate, as long as you’re not subversive, you’re as free as a lark, AKs are everywhere, and they have a government that appears to govern for (not against) the benefit of the people.

Those people are, nationwide, 80% ethnically Russian, and about 90% European. The country is huge, truly continent-spanning; in the Euro West, the demographics are closer to 99% homogenous. 75% are “spiritual” and 50% are Eastern Orthodox Christians. They have the fair share of atheists, likely holdovers from the terrors of the past, but the overall situation is better than much of the West. They’re smart too, with an average IQ a hair under a straight normative SB/WAIS average – nearly half an SD above that in Amerika.

You guessed it! They speak Russian. Their currency is the Ruble. And, they are a powerful, nuclear-armed nation, the most dominant one of the two countries that need not bow to the new evil empire. While known best for their vodka, they also produce some of the best local, craft beer – generally made on small farms by older women – in Europe.

These are two great and proud countries. They are not without issues. Think of it as trading one form of uncertainty for another, but in two places where the people and their lands will outlast the problems they face.

Now, for a very quick look at the rest of the larger nations of Europe. If they taught you anything in your school classes (a large if, I know), then you probably know a little already. SP, the Duck, and InfoGalactic can fill in the gaps. Many of these are the secondary lines of the real “Camp of the Saints” struggle, somewhat behind the leading descender, the US Empire. Beyond noting that the first two are nuclear powers, I’m just going to rattle off:

The UK,

France,

Germany,

Belgium,

Netherlands,

Spain,

Portugal,

Italy,

Switzerland,

Denmark and the Scandinavians, 

Iceland, and

“Etc.” for anyone else I overlooked.

Some of them are worse off than others, but all are salvageable and all are (for now) better off than the dead USA. Make of it what you will. Watch the rest of Europe! The right is rising and the people are getting tired of being lied to and dominated by (decimated by) the globalists. There will be positive changes! If you’re part of it, I’d appreciate that postcard. 

With regard to any of these alternatives, it is important to put aside any of the mainstream lies you have been told by the corporate-CIA media and your “schools.” Also, kindly discount or take with a grain of salt the “advice” you may have received from most Gen Xers and nearly all older generations about everything political and economic in these nations. Their pitiful obsession with taxes, rights, equality, and the rest of it blinded them to the destruction of their own nation; who really cares what they say about other lands? Yes, things are different elsewhere, but they work. And again, they’ll keep working while America fights her last wars and afterward, regardless of what happens in North America.

And! We’re not quite done with Europe yet. Next, we’ll investigate a few “smaller” options out of a medium-sized collection of tiny nations. After that? Well, there are more places outside of the US and Europe to consider. We’ll name a few at least. And then, finally, the time will come to discuss the potential and likely future of America and the United States.

ESTONIA and the BALTICS

“Estonia and the Baltics” isn’t a band, but I guess it could be. Welcome to Part Seven: Estonia, and the Baltic States!

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

Pack your parka, because today we’re off to the lands beside the Baltic Sea. It can get just a wee bit cold there. We’re also straying deeper into territory that I honestly know little about, other than what I have (briefly) researched. I will say that a good friend vacationed in Estonia a few years ago and almost didn’t come back, saying he’d found the prettiest women on Earth. Above the pleasant aesthetics, note that I’m still running off of my three primary civilizational demographic requirements. 

We’re moving very fast, and a little loose now, but I am more convinced than ever that this series is not a good, but a great idea for the right young people. It has come to my wandering attention that the Sanders camp, having been robbed once again by the DNC, has been given a consolation prize, a chance to forge potential policies with Team Biden. Buried somewhere very deep within THIS RELEASE (like page 107), after hundreds of lies, fantasies, and luciferian drivel, is the beginning of the implementation of an old UN plan to flood the US (and, if permitted, Europe) with the third world. They literally envision moving the entire population of refugees and/or people who just want to move, from everywhere else into the United States. Imagine 500 million to 1 billion new incompatible arrivals. Then, imagine the Rwanda Genocide times 10,000. This is a pipe dream and obviously a back-burner issue for progressives. However, the fact that they have put it in writing tells us something, or it should. This potential nightmare is posited in addition to the rapidly approaching cataclysm already beginning to boil over. The deadly-serious joke these days goes, “don’t worry about reading ‘The Camp of the Saints,’ you’re living it.” If that’s true, then it’s the light version. The Sanders-Biden plan would be the extreme edition.

Again, if you are not responsible for the mess and do not wish to participate in its conclusion, then this advice is for you. You have your search engine of choice for the in-depth research, so I’m going to keep this as succinct as possible, starting with,

ESTONIA

This nation is on the list, along with the others, because of cohesiveness. In Estonia, Estonians and Russians account for some 93% of the population, and virtually everyone, 100%, is European! The Russians came from a USSR immigration program and were originally viewed as problematic. However, assimilation over the passing decades has largely been a success, a successful mixing of cousins, so to speak. 

Not dissimilar to the Czech Republic, the Estonians lack a definitive Christian majority (roughly a third identify as Christian, mostly Eastern Orthodox and Lutheran). However, unlike in Czechia, a great majority are “believers” to one degree or another and the number of outright atheists is small. Before World War II, the country was 80% Lutheran. Thanks, commies.

The national average hovers around, or just over the normative, Northwestern European average – high above the falling US.

The language is Estonian, which is related to Finnish.

Recently, they have tilted a little to the left, though not nearly as far or as fast as other Western countries. The great majority of the people still take pride in traditions – now coupled with ultra-modern living and convenience. Estonia holds full EU membership. 

It is one of the most advanced of countries, fully “developed,” free, though – perhaps because of the full advancement – a little expensive. It’s a coastal nation, with low hills, and it’s cool. Summer days generally hover around room temperature, and winter nights can be thirty or more degrees (F) below zero. But, they host four, full and lovely seasons. 

LATVIA

Rolling a little faster, now: Here, one finds 99% homogeneity, very similar to Estonia. However, the nation is 80%+ Christian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and Russian Orthodox. The intelligence quotient is high. The language is called Latvian. The geography and climate are quite similar to Estonia. Full Euro, with high GDP growth rates.

LITHUANIA

(Really moving along).

84% Lithuanian, 16% other Europeans. 80% or more Roman Catholic. IQ? Several points higher than the US. A climate and geography that are similar to Estonia and Latvia. Speak Lithuanian in a high income, developed environment. 

BELARUS

A little larger and inland, landlocked. Ethnically Belarusian and other Euros. 80% Eastern Orthodox, with more Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic, and various Protestants. An IQ like Lithuanian. Flat and cool. A developed economy where privatization is still in progress. They’re not on the Euro, using the “new” Ruble – theirs, not the Russians. They speak Russian and Belarusian, officially. 

Yes, these are now only glimpses. But, again, they’re presented for a reason. Duck and SP. If it works, great; don’t forget my postcard, perhaps with something about our new band? 

*I keep mentioning the postcard like the US will have mail delivery in a few years. Silly old Mr. Lovett…

An “Alarming Pattern” In The Schools

≈ Comments Off on An “Alarming Pattern” In The Schools

In the PRIVATE schools. I’ve made scant mention of this problem before – as bad as the public schools are, many (most?) privates are not necessarily the answer. A billionaire calls out an agenda:

Billionaire hedge funder John Paulson protested against ultra-elite Manhattan school Spence for what he claims was an “alarming pattern” of “anti-white indoctrination” in its curriculum.

Paulson, 64, who famously made millions betting against the American housing market prior to the 2008 financial crisis and was an economic adviser to President Trump, wrote a 2017 letter to prestigious all-girls school Spence, attended by his two daughters. Famous Spence alums include Gwyneth Paltrow, Kerry Washington, Emmy Rossum, Bee Shaffer and Jade Jagger.

It reads, “In recent years we have reached out on several occasions to discuss a disturbing trend in one area of the curriculum that we believe is having a negative impact on our daughters’ education. As we’ve noted before, there appears to be an anti-white indoctrination that permeates many parts of the Spence curriculum.”

I would imagine that whatever he’s noticed is only the tip of the iceberg. There’s a narrative that has infected Amerika, all parts, including public and many (most?) private schools. It’s not just anti-white, though that is, for now, the main visible conduit. It’s also anti-American, anti-Western, anti-family, anti-traditional, anti-learning, anti-normal, anti-sane, anti-Christian, and anti-God. By their works, we know them.

This example is in NYC, where one might expect to find it and, in fact, be surprised had the opposite been alleged. In North Carolina, an “elite” classical private school openly, if crookedly, avows a “Judeo-Christian worldview.” Classical learning and reason, under a worldview of inherent contradiction and falsehood, is impossible. In Georgia, an “elite” prep school openly, and unashamedly, pushes the globohomo agenda, especially regarding the superiority of secular Islam – surely sanitized to any reverence for Allah. Both of these Southern schools cater predominantly to White Christian families.

Why? Why is it that the alternative to the pagan idiot factories of the state offers the same debasement, if at a slower rate (and higher price)? It’s because of the fallen nature of the entire society and because the concept of schools is unnatural. There are, here, and there, good private academies run by decent people, where learning happens without resort to the satanic. They’re getting hard to find, diamonds in the dung heaps. The sure-fire solution: Homeschool, or better yet, unschool.

AUSTRIA, SLOVENIA, SERBIA (and CZECHIA)

AUSTRIA, SLOVENIA, SERBIA (and CZECHIA)

*If you’re joining us from TPC, welcome to the perhaps “too real” story. You may have missed a few episodes. Catch up via the following list!

Here follows part six in our series on European escape countries for young Americans fond of civilization. One might notice that I am now consolidating the nations a bit. 

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

We’re going to pick up speed, now, by going quickly through three nations and an honorable mention. 

AUSTRIA

Set in the Alps, this is that second Switzerland and I mentioned in the column about third Switzerland, Slovakia. (For what it’s worth, I’m probably not going to cover the first CH, but do know it is also an option).

Austria is a member of the EU monetary union; the Euro is the currency. Now, unlike some of the first places I directed your attention towards, the Euro doesn’t necessarily stretch that far in places like Vienna. Austria is a wealthier nation, a descendant of imperial order, and comes with the prices associated with high-first-world living. And, a few of the modern problems…

Again, again, again, I started with Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary for a reason. Several, of course, but they (of the countries I know better) best fit my triple matrix of harmonious compatibility. Lest anyone still is riding the fence of uncertainty, I’m looking at high to ultra-high levels of homogeneity in the areas of race, religion, and intelligence – or the best amalgams I can find. For our intrepid Americans seeking a better life, that means: White, Christian, and an average IQ at least in the “average” range, the higher the better. Not that I have to defend these criteria, but these are the three best predictive measures of how well a community of humans get along – or not. An example, if there might be a lingering doubt or two: 99% White, 95% Catholic, 100-IQ Poland is stable, pleasant, and cohesive; 60% White, 60% Christian, 92-IQ Amerika is … turn on the news. (I previously gifted some advice to others of goodwill, and likely will do so again ere long).

So, Austria is vast majority Euro-ethnic, with the great majority of the population being Austrians, and most (but not all) of the rest being from other European nations. Modernity is inserting her hideous head by bringing a variety of outsiders, similar to the migratory situation in Germany and France, though it is of much lower statistical and absolute numeric magnitude. The bad part of the equation is that, though the process of diversification is in its infancy, it has commenced. The good part is that the Austrians are awake to the issue. Politically, the traditionally-defensive hard right is rising. They recently elected – and then canned – the Wunderkind, What’s-his-name; canned after delivering performance one might expect from someone just out of high school or whatever (yeah, I’m talking about your g-g-generation – you’re ready to move, but not lead … not yet). But, they’re on the job and can (will) fix any issues before they become martial in nature (one really hopes).

Christianity-wise, the up-to-date stats are a little fuzzy, but it appears that Austria is still at least 80% Faithful, with most being some form of Catholicism. Interestingly enough, the government imposes a 1% Ecclesiastical tax (a tithe of a tithe) on Christians for the support of their Churches. 

Brain power-wise, the nation stands just over the WAIS/SB normative average of 100 and shows no signs of dropping. (In the great defense, many or most of the non-EU newcomers are from places with higher than average IQs (ie, China)).

You know the drill: they have culture, schools, jobs, immigration rules, real estate, firearms, supermarkets, etc. Duck and SP. And, of course, they write and vocalize words. German is the majority language – find it at Babs or Duo. Here, I’ll let the immortal Falco (and friends) help you with that:

 

SLOVENIA

How do you know this little nation already? That’s right! It’s the homeland of First Lady, Melania Trump, indicative of how the average woman appears and carries herself. Good, God! Get off the Orbitz! I have just a little more…

Slovenia is 83% Slovenes and at least 93% Euro (probably more like 98% Euro). Again, the country is around 80% Christian, with the great majority being Roman Catholic. A sign of the times: the RC contingent was over 97% decades ago. You can help with a revival, certainly. They are smart people, averaging close to Austria, far ahead of flagging Amerika, and showing no signs of coming down. 

And, they all live it what appears to be a living fairy tale. Yes, yes, they speak and use money. They have laws, customs, and such. THE DUCK! But, while you do your research, make sure you look at some pictures – just SP “Slovenia” for starters. I got mountains (they’re Alpine, largely), castles, and … the water. You’ll notice waterfalls in rocky dells. In caves. Bluewater with white foam. It’s almost as pretty as Melania. Accelerate your Travelocity if you must, but I’m moving on to,

CROATIA

Here, we back up into, once again, the Balkans and what some might consider “frontier” “eastern” Europe. Consider it what you will – just take a look. A hard look. They have all the pluses and some of the minuses of any modern nation. But, like Poland and Slovakia, they have uniformity. Virtually all of the people – 99.5% – are European in origin. Over 90% are Christian. Again, I found IQ stats that made me ask questions. Suffice to say, these utterly homogeneous people are at least on par with Amerikans. And, as with a few other “developing” Easterns, I suspect the rise as Amerika falls. I leave this nation to your imagination and your astute research. The same goes for many of the surrounding Balkan nations. Another neighboring entry was suggested to me by a reader, though I have chosen to ignore it as it does not quite fit within the parameters of my test – which is not to say it isn’t a great place.

CZECH REPUBLIC (Honorable Mention)

I’m including this nation, which was also suggested to me by another reader, on a thin margin. Ethno-demographic, they’re as pure as Slovakia or Poland, and, like Poland and Hungary, they are fighting with the EU over they’re steadfast refusal to admit the third world. That’s fantastic, as is much else (almost everything else) in the land, to include the half-a-standard deviation higher than the US IQ. It’s the lack of Christianity that holds them back or down. Bluntly speaking, there are just too many atheists who register as such, along with too many “unaffiliated” or “undeclared” persons. This could be a statistical error or a lingering effect of Nazism and communism, but by the numbers, followers of Christ are a minority. I’m looking for the trifecta. You, upon greater delving that I performed – not necessarily a difficult undertaking – may find positives to outweigh my concerns. If so, then great. She was added for a reason. If you and the reason meet amicably, remember my postcard, please.
