It was, of course, only a matter of time. Propaganda, and especially war propaganda, is so predictable, it’s not even funny.

From TASS:

The West may seek to achieve its objectives in Ukraine by implementing an actual occupation, (more…)

The movement frequently criticizes older people for being vulnerable to Zionism, and rightfully diagnoses decades of Jewish dominance of the media, and especially TV, as the biggest cause. Once one steps back it seems odd, even from a Christian perspective, to place Israel on a pedestal as a defender of human rights, democracy, Western civilization, or whatever. (more…)

Everybody and his dog is writing about the Trump conviction, so I guess I’ll add my few grains to the sand pile. Otherwise I’d kill something, preferably a New York judge. Or several of them.

On the observable principle that each succeeding President is worse than his predecessor, Biden has, barely, taken the title for godawful worthlessness and foreign-policy bafflement. But the question is not whether Trump has the morals of a politician, or whether he and some porn queen made the beast with two backs. How many readers would have done the same, given a shot at Stormy? (more…)

Empires are based on a core ethnic group with a well-organized military, a robust economy, and a functional government whose history of fairmindedness and even judgement is such that those outside the core ethnic group can put their trust in it. (more…)

No Russian Leaders

The London Morning Post correspondent then tried to determine who the Bolsheviks were who had terrorized Kiev. His findings were:

In the first place, as Kiev knew the Bolsheviki, they are utter aliens — Letts, Finns, internationalized Jews, Rumanians, anything except actual Russians. (more…)

Sometimes a timely warning comes from an unlikely place. A footnote in Francis Parker Yockey’s Imperium led to a shocking find in what was, even in his day, a dusty tome on some university library shelves. The emended citation is Current History, Vol. XI, Part 1, no. 3, published in December 1919. (more…)

Do you remember when people were saying that Tucker Carlson was finished? He had been fired from FOX News, and although he appeared to enjoy a triumphant return on X, within a few months the excitement of his reappearance had worn off. (more…)

Tucker Carlson’s interview of Vladimir Putin illustrates a number of points. Its first approximately 30 minutes consisted of an extensive history lesson going back to Novgorod, up through the Second World War and ending in the present day. It was a tad excessive even for my tastes as a history buff and connoisseur of strategy PC games.

Putin spoke articulately, at great length, and in depth about history. This highlights how we in the West are almost exclusively ruled by uncultured imbeciles. (more…)

There is a meme showing a girl who loves to say “I’m not like other girls” when they are in fact cookie-cutter copies of the infinite other girls who bill themselves as “not like other girls.” You encounter a similar type of person on the Internet, who insists that he is not like other Internet people. “You see, for most e-celebs, the Internet is their whole life. But me? I have a happy life and a successful career outside of all this, and I just do this Internet stuff for fun. I don’t take it seriously, like everyone else does.” (more…)

From military illiterates in Congress and political generals in the Five-Sided Wind Tunnel of the Potomac we hear noises about an upcoming war with China. This war, it is thought, will be chiefly naval with America’s carrier battle groups doing the heavy lifting. (more…)

I am communing in my office with a sufficiency of Wild Turkey, the whiskey of the great Hunter Thompson. With its help I think curmudgeonly thoughts about America, which is over, done, surrounded by feeding leeches, ticks, hag fish, lampreys, and corporations. And Joe Biden. I find this deeply satisfying. (more…)
