COLUMN: The “Arsenal of Democracy” – with Noodles!

 

For the first time in about fifty years, a little truth crept into some MSM headlines and stories. Carlos Slim’s little blog casually admitted that the Ukies, not the Russians, cluster bomb their own civilians. There’s something, something about blaming Russia, but still, this was as close to an honest admission as we’re going to get these days. Except for what Bloomberg and a few slightly more reputable outlets were spinning…

Today’s American “democracy” means the promotion of our more cherished and time-honored values: usury, narcotics, hoaxes, perpetual war, lies, idiocy, Antibody-dependent Enhancement, etc. All of it is in jeopardy because of something, something Russia. Or something.

One might recall that just last month, on March 15, 2022, retired Lt. Col. Ben Hodges, former commander of the US Army Europe, confidently told the gullible public that, “Russians are about 10 days away from what is called the culminating point, when they just no longer have the ammunition nor the manpower to keep up their assault.” One might then consult a calendar and realize that this statement might have been just a teeny weeny little itty bitty bit of total projection and bullshit. 

Some in the media kind of noticed something off with this situation, which is really odd. It’s even stranger that they were allowed to mention it. The Times’s wailing about the “arsenal of democracy” was an admission that it’s not the Rooskies who are running out of ammo. As I noted a few weeks ago, the empire is so weak that it has to lose this one on the back of neo-Nazi proxies. The strategy thus far has been to provide the Azov-SS with intel and small and medium arms. Great heaping shipments of missiles, rifle rounds, mines, and artillery shells flow into Ukraine. Russia makes a sport of turning these shipments into burning rubbish. The Banderaites continue to surrender or die. Moscow rolls. DC panics. The MSM lies. The cycle repeats. But the cycle is beginning to take a hard toll.

It’s been nearly a month since the MSM’s military “expert,” Hodges, got it dead wrong about Russia’s culmination. Phase Two is now in progress and the SMO proceeds unimpeded. Mad Vlad has somehow managed to find enough men and munitions somewhere – probably in Russia’s huge manpower reserves and her massive armaments industry.  The truth is that the US’s and NATO’s supplies of weapons are running low. The point of some of this new, honest reporting is that the choice manifesting is whether to keep funneling targets for the VVS and AVMF to destroy on arrival or to keep some of the stuff in case, you know, ‘Murica and NATO need them. 

The US has lost both the manufacturing capacity and the necessary skilled labor to readily replenish the stocks that Brandon keeps giving away. The Boomers inherited a gold mine because the US of their childhoods was the only nation with a major manufacturing sector that survived World War II intact. They also stumbled into the budding Bretton Woods reserve dollar and the relatively high-IQ American workforce. Easy times made for soft men, and the soft men squandered it all and then some. 

There’s also the uncomfortable fact that the US’s astronomical military budgets don’t fund much in the way of working weapons systems. All those albatross-around-the-neck foreign bases aren’t cheap. Neither is the make-work, the HR costs, the retirements, or the MIC graft. It’s not the arsenal of democracy, it’s the arsenal of globalization, with the attendant financialization and creeping incrementalism. 

[I had A LOT more, here, but cut it so I could wrap with the stellar, improvised conclusion, below.]*

The US doesn’t make much anymore. The heyday was some time ago. About the only things we still make in large numbers are fairytale stories of grandeur, excuses, and fake loans of money that never existed. It’s all beyond stupid; there’s an element of evil in it.

In not-unrelated news, I was originally going to relate some interesting news about a certain railroad and a certain fertilizer company, both owned, in part, by the same certain investment institutions. The US does still have the ability to make fertilizer. They’re just going to cut way back on it … because banks?  In short, the mass financialization of the US economy might end up meaning something worse than recessions and inflation. How about a little famine? You’ll eat nothing, and you’ll be happy!

Time will tell. I’m sure the powers that be have our best interests in mind. Now might be a good time to mention nationalism and national capitalism, but that’s a subject for another day, maybe for another country. At any rate, I have the honor of ending this one on a high note!

War and contrived fertilizer shortages aside, it just got a little easier to come by Goodles! We owe this development to GG. Here she is with the final word:

 

*I also cut much of the fire and wrath from this one. Call it the “GG effect.”

COLUMN: God’s Wrath and the End of the Empire

 

If I continued last week’s nominal thematics, today’s title might be “J.R.R. Tolkien and God’s Wrath Against Wayward Empires: A Comparison of Falls of Numenor and the United States.” Some 15,000 or so words on that topic lurk somewhere in the hopper, the seeds of a short book or a long essay. They’ve lurked there for the last seven years; expect publication no later than 2083 under the (working) title American Akallabeth. Then again, that guy, one of them, one of the smart ones, at Crisis recently wrote a short article that pretty much summed it all up. Still, I may continue some of the Tolkien-esque themes herein.

Anyway, last fall, I spoke with a priest about the terminal decline of America and the United States. We agreed that the shrunken nation and its out-of-control government were under the wrath of Almighty God. As he put it then, “you can’t murder 70 million babies and not expect vengeance.” He was correct. That charge alone is sufficient to justify crushing Elenna-Andor beneath the sea (there we go…). One dreadful charge of many.

He, I, and others are correct that the US, the Americans, and the other residents of this strange land are under a form of divine judgment. There is, I think, a distinction concerning the kind of judgment. We are not being blasted with fire like Sodom and Gomorrah. Ours is indirect retribution. I believe the Lord is merely allowing the consequences of our actions and inactions to unfold according to the designs we wittingly or otherwise contrived. 

You almost got a column titled, “Americans Need a Special Military Operation to Deglobalize and Desatanize the United States.” Use your imagination – what if Americans rose up like Russia and did what had to be done? A huge “what if.” We desperately need such action and we have needed it for the last forty to fifty years. It may, perhaps, be a little late now. I really don’t think we have it in us. And we barely have us. 

Russia, China, India, Iran, and other independent nations are steaming ahead magnificently. A new global anti-globalist financial system based on literal commodities and real value is operational. Once the bugs are worked out, look for it to supplant the satanic usury-based system that currently enslaves much of the world. 

China is presently using its position of economic and industrial supremacy to cement its place, not as an empire, but as a fully-sovereign regional power. Russia, right now, is using its military might to literally blast the satanic world disorder to bits. This brand of free-wheeling masculine action, coupled with stern civility, is contagious. The people of the world have waited a long time for an example of global leadership not composed near-exclusively of devil worshipers. Now they have it and they will support it.

Back in this increasingly bizarre place between Canada and Mexico, and in other associated satrapies, the governing, owning elites are in a mad panic. Having lost the effectiveness of their wealth and power, they are reduced to mere influence in the form of outlandish and constant lies. For their part, the faithless, gullible, and dim-witted masses play along with great enthusiasm. It boggles the mind. The people of the faded West have been fed so many falsehoods that they now seemingly make up their own without any prompting. They really believe them too. We’re almost to the point when one looks for the dupes to independently meld two or more hoaxes together – “That thar Ghost of Kiev done run off the Butcher of Bucha! I done seen it, Cleetus!”

The WereWest has won the propaganda war, thus far, one-hundred to nothing. However, hollow words, moronic Tweets, video game footage, lies, and crisis actors do not win physical military conflicts. Putin’s phase one – of an operation that I admittedly misgauged and misunderstood, initially – was, past tense, a full success. His forces are currently prosecuting phase two, expertly, and preparing for phase three. Russia is ready and able to sweep aside NATO with similar efficiency in the event the anguished fools in Washington, London, and Brussels attempt something utterly insane. Russia will not use words.

An aside: quasi-confirmation of some rumors came from the MOD this week. Behind the S-300 (very good), S-400(+) (otherwise best in the world), S-500 (better than the best), and S-550 (beyond better than the best), the Russians are allegedly working feverishly on something else, something different, a system possibly of both defensive and offensive capabilities. Why? Well, obviously to make damned sure they’re left alone as they and their friends carry on civilization. But, what?? The hint was that this thing, whatever it is, is most likely a DEW system. Given the way their other dream toys were “in development,” only to suddenly be fully deployed, this “S-600” (my working designation only) is probably in the testing juncture. Imagine Reagan’s SDI, but real. 

‘Muricans don’t need to know none of that though. Most probably wouldn’t believe it unless or until it zaps them personally. They know little. They believe even less. Faithless and dull. While they invent all manner of fiction in order to #StandWithJewishHitler, talented as he is, they pay no attention to their own demise. Based on the very limited recent data released by the Census, 2021 is looking like the sixth year in a row of the hard numerical decline of Heritage Americans. My educated guess is a net loss of another 2 million of us – just last year. Many or most of “us” have a real problem even admitting “we” exist. Of course, at this rate of decline, in a generation or two, we won’t.

The idiots who trust Sean Hannity’s reports that Putin has bombed Chernobyl six times (or, six million(?) times), don’t seem to remember that their cult of a government just carried out the largest biological and psychological war against humanity in history. As with Ukraine, they bought in and helped wage the war against themselves. Very. Strange. Times.

Shocked and alarmed that 50-60,000 young Russian soldiers are on Ukrainian soil, the rubes forget the 100 million incompatible invaders now occupying the US and the thousands more coming in every single day. 

Bewildered by meat shortages and gas price increases, the lower-watts ignore the complete and total destruction of their entire economy to the point there are statistically ZERO dollars left in it. Literally, everything that is left is based entirely on murderous fake debts, fraud, lies, voodoo, and illusions.

Angered by non-existent Russian atrocities, they conveniently forget about the blood-soaked US in Libya, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia, Vietnam, ET CETERA. 

Most would be surprised to learn that Putin didn’t orchestrate and run the COVID hoax and war. Putin didn’t carry out Operation Nine-Eleven-Woods. Putin didn’t run forty years of biomedical terror in Tuskegee. Or any of the empire’s other 260+ bioterror programs of the past ninety years. Putin didn’t wreck US schools. Putin didn’t turn Mickey into Pedo Mouse. Putin didn’t kill any of those 70 million babies.

And, they won’t get any of this because they can’t. They are essentially fact-proof, living examples of the cautions of the Bible and of Aristotle. There is no reasoning or communication with the unreasonable and the unreasoning. There is no positive interaction with the wicked. Putin and Russia are a kind of refractive lens for throwing light back onto the dark demise Americans have wrought for themselves. Congratulations! You either did it or you tolerated it. God now allows the repercussions unmitigated.

He will, however, always preserve a just Remnant. Look to the Faithful of the Dúnedain. Numenor is lost. Let us build a Gondor.

For part of the horrendous drop in American IQ. Leaded gas?

A new study conducted by researchers from Florida State University and Duke University sheds light on the use of leaded gasoline in the United States – banned since 1996 – and it likely causing significant IQ losses in the country’s population.
The authors of the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week estimate that “170 million Americans alive today were exposed to high-lead levels in early childhood,” and that lead is “responsible for the loss of 824,097,690 IQ points” in the US population as of 2015.
…
The researchers warned that anyone in the US who was born before the ban on leaded gas in 1996 may have suffered “the cognitive consequences of lead exposure,” and that, at its worst, those who were born in the 1960s and in the 1970s – the time of the peak use of leaded gas – may have lost up to seven points of IQ, the media outlet notes.

There has been a decline, since 1950-ish, of maybe 10 points on average. That’s bad. And it’s getting worse. The two big causes are 1) smart Americans not having kids, and 2) almost all of our post-1965 imports come from sub-average populations.

This environmental angle makes some sense and it has to be a part of the equation, along with diets, drugs, Teeeeeveeeee, chemicals, etc. But, I could also see this as a partial cover-up of the two primary factors. 824 / 170 (sorry, lead heads) = 4.85. Dunno; as a 1970s exhaust huffer, I am deprived of the ability to make such calls. You?

The Breakup of the United States Begins

The Breakup of the United States Begins

 

Two things are mathematically certain about the future of the US. First, it’s over – even now. Second, it’s going to break apart into smaller nations. How many? Time will tell, though the short answer is “enough.” A third thing that is not precisely definite, but rather, much more likely than not, is open war accompanying the dissolution. Americans like the hard way, after all.

This column is about the second stage. Accordingly, I’ll hold a moment while you cue up The Breakup Song by the Greg Kihn Band as background reading music. Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah… Got that? Good.

As with the Second Coming, only God Almighty knows the timing of this thing. And none of us mortals know exactly where the lines will be drawn. Honestly, before it’s over, it’s sure to be a messy process. We’re already getting glimpses of the start.

Last week, on March 25, 2021, Rep. Jeremy Munson of Lake Crystal, Minnesota debuted HF 2423, under which, if passed, the western half of the Land of 10,000 Lakes would secede from the eastern portion of the state and join South Dakota. 

Munson Tweeted the essential steps of the process: “1) Pass HF2423 by the #mnleg; 2) MN Voters allow Counties to leave; 3) Counties vote to join neighboring State, and 4) Congress approves.” Finally, after all these years, a meaningful Tweet! One also beset with problems, particularly in step four.

Congress, this Congress, the one worshipful of the demon Brahma, might not be so keen on the idea. However, they can be – and ultimately will be – dealt with or ignored.

What’s driving this? There’s the fact that nothing works anymore and people are starting to read the tea leaves. Much of the stated logic behind the legislation centers on rural v. urban, conservative v. liberal, and red v. blue. All of those are semi-valid but there’s also the demographic difference between the genteel western counties and the more “diverse” areas around Duluth, Saint Cloud, The Twins, and Rochester. Something about something about multi-something just not working and people wanting to be around their own. 

Homogeneity being a universally-desired state of being, Minnesotans are not alone in their quest for separation. If allowed under a similar proposal, a vast tract of western Virginia would peel away and join with the former VA counties that previously peeled away to form West Virginia. New York once claimed (without success) Vermont as territory. Now, northern and rural New York could conceivably merge into VT – or PA. 

There’s also the prospect that parts of existing states might seek to form their own fully-distinct states. For example, the relatively normal people in northern California become ill-at-ease with those folks from Sacramento and points south. There are more examples, each requiring an even higher degree of Congressional approval than what Munson seeks – with one exception: Texas. Not that it’s immediately in the cards, but TX joined the Union with the express condition that it could subdivide as decided by Texans and without an OK from DC.

As things devolve further and faster, states, or parts of states, or groups of states will invariably break free from the dying US and form completely sovereign nations. Again, no one knows when this will happen or how it will look. However, when it happens, it will not play out along manufactured political lines. Well, it will, but those will be subservient to the greater, truer lines of Identity. 

Plainly put, people(s) want to live with others who share their own racial or ethnic, religious, and trust or intelligence composition. Westerners of European descent want to and will align with people who look, believe, and think as they do. The same goes for Asians, Africans, and everyone else. The modern revulsion at this natural fact is as false as it is new, staring down the entirety of human history and experience. Like it or not, it’s coming. When it does, then will arise the substantial threat of open warfare over resources within the given or proposed bounds set by the separating groups. 

I’ve recently read some of the most idiotic comments and theories put forward in the antithesis of this progression. Luciferian leftists obviously oppose the natural order, having created such a horrible, jumbled imbalance in the first place. It’s the conservatives and libertarians, usually trying to be “nice” (or stupid), who still refuse to acknowledge reality. All of them necessarily begin from some variant of the enlightened, globalized, civic nationalist view of what constitutes a nation. All of them are, almost without exception, solipsistic. You, the individual, really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. You may get a practical political vote, but it really won’t matter for much or as to deciding the greater issues. Protestations, here, will be no more effective than those issued against the coming of an earthquake. Find. Your. Tribe. There’s time.

We are, most of us, probably steaming towards a Yugoslavian rather than a Czechoslovakian scenario. Count on chaos. Just know that at the other end, the results will be better for everyone involved. Babel was not meant to hold together; it literally must come apart. It’s already started. (Song time out okay?)

*TPC may (may???) come back next week.

The Saker wrote a dandy column on the demise and death of the US Empire:

This is not to say that the outcome will not matter, it will – but only for the future of the United States themselves. Simply put, the upcoming vote is either a vote for upholding law and order in the US, or for total nihilism. On a deeper level, it is a vote for the US or against it: the Dems all hate this country and its “deplorables”; they also hate almost every aspect of US history (overturned statues are but symbols of this hatred) and they hate what they call “a racist system” in spite of the fact that the real causes of racial tensions in the US have very little to do with the “system” and everything to do with the unique problems of blacks in a culture with mainly European roots.

The Empire is dead. And I hope and believe that its death will mark the rebirth of the United States as a “normal” country (which is what happened to all the other former empires).

Until that happens, we can now at least rest assured that this amazingly evil Empire has finally died, even if very few noticed this.

Read the whole thing at UNZ. It’s well-informed, entertaining, and mostly correct. I question two points. One, how much of the Empire’s nuclear arsenal is still operational? Enough I suppose to keep the heat radiating as he puts it. Two, I’m not so certain that the remains and rump states will exist as “normal” nations for some time to come. Too many issues of the non-political kind to sort out. Those European roots and the new post-Americans and so forth. A fun ride it was – with much more to come.

The increasingly impressive Roosh V offers up excellent advice for Christians living during the final days of the US Empire. Most of it is about hunkering down in self-reliance. However, he does touch on Biblical support for getting away:

A lot of men have asked for my thoughts about leaving the country and going to a land where Christians are least likely to be persecuted in the near future (Russia is often mentioned). There is even scriptural support for fleeing persecution.

“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another.” —Matthew 10:21-23

Be mindful that one might not want to wait until overt persecution commences to make the hard choices.

Doug Casey’s outfit asks about hope for the US. The groupings are interesting.

So, what are Americans to do?

Well, my belief is that – as is always the case when a country declines – the populace will divide into several groups.

The first group, which will be by far the largest, will increasingly grumble, but ultimately do little or nothing to save themselves. They will go down with the ship.

Regardless of all else, it is certain that many will do nothing even as everything falls completely apart.

It has to happen. Doug Casey sees it and discusses it intelligently if a little too An-Cap optimistically.

Again, it’s a little too libertarian, but at least Casey subjugates politics and economics to their proper, lower places. He does touch on the keystone of reality: Demographics. It frightens people to speak of, but the things that hold societies together (or break them apart) are race, religion, and IQ. “Trust” factors into all three, as does the societal, cultural facets that come from each and from all three together.

Compatibility: we don’t have it anymore. The odds heavily favor a civil war in the US. A peaceful solution is technically possible, but we are a fractured people who crave the hard way. Interesting times are here and now; this video is a great look into them.
