I saw Vance accepting the defeatist frame that it is hard to deport eighteen million illegals. No it is not hard. Tony Abbot in Australia faced a smaller but similar problem, and here is how he handled it: Everyone has interactions where you have to present your ID: Cops, welfare, hospitals, and so on and so forth. And they then run your ID through their computers. Which in Australia, if …
The Crisis and Coup Thermidor
The most cohesive faction within the left wants to burn down the world in order to immanentize the Eschaton, and the kleptocracy does not want the world to burn. The kleptocrats want to steal it, not burn it, and are upset that their plan for stealing Russia and then China came unstuck. The old Clinton/Bush/Obama normal is heading towards an iceberg. Since the point of stealing the 2020 and 2022 …
End Game in Ukraine
War is a test of will and capability. The test has been run. We now know the will and capability of the parties. I have repeatedly predicted that the war will end real soon now, and repeatedly been wrong. My repeated error was to assume that individuals would respond rationally to the situation, once it was revealed. Rational individual behaviour for a Ukrainian who is not yet in the army …
How to restore a reproductively successful society
This might seem premature when there is a substantial ruling class faction that intends to steal the election again and implement a brutal totalitarian terror state similar to Starmer’s Britain and Zelensky’s Ukraine, and no namefag of the Christian Right anywhere in the Global American Empire dares raise the issue of the destruction of marriage, but I expect victory in the not very distant future, even though I also expect …
Blog (mostly) restored
All posts and all comments are back. WordPress’s major spying process has been disabled. I need to restore the blogroll and the copyleft. Certain serious security holes remain. Looks like Avatar privacy has been fixed to prevent my fix, and is now resuming the standard behaviour of reporting email addresses to big brother using the avatar file names as a covert channel. Not sure what is going on, investigation will …
Under maintenance
All the old data is backed up, minus a few recent comments, but restoring it is costing me more grief than expected
AI winter, plus mindless skynet.
It now becomes obvious that the trouble with Artificial intelligence is that it is not intelligent and there is no one at home. When they first came out, I said to myself. “Wow. Passes the Turing test.” No it does not. If you actually try to make use of it, it then proceeds to fail the Turing test. They are just really great search engines with a wonderfully compressed and …
The Trump program
Howard Lutnik, transition leader for the Trump team, tells us how Trump intends to keep his promises this time around. Trump is likely to win in a landslide. It looks like coup Thermidor has gone through, and they are just waiting to hold an actually free and fair election to make it official and legal. Which does not mean that free and fair elections are back in style, but they …
Dark Maga explained
Dark Maga is described by the legacy media as an aesthetic, rather than a political ideology, political program, or a political faction. They just don’t get it, because the left cannot meme. Dark Maga is not just an aesthetic, it is a meme. And memes are not political ideologies or political factions either, but they are instruments that the meme magicians use to promote ideas that connect to systems of …
Calling the dip
The bell is ringing. Last time around, I called the 2022 dip slightly too soon when bitcoin was at twenty thousand, then called it again, more firmly and with greater confidence, when it was at sixteen thousand, which was dead on accurate. The current dip is sixty thousand or so. I may have called it a little too late, bitcoin was recently at fifty eight thousand, and is now at …
