A long time back I remarked that eye of Soros has fallen on Musk. It is starting to look like that the hand of Soros is going to fall upon him.
American technology has been declining across the board. Some stuff started declining in the seventies, and as time went by, more and more things went into decline.
Apple is still advancing cpu design, but they have no in house capability to actually implement those designs in hardware. They depend on Taiwan Semiconductor. AMD and Intel just put more circuits of their old design on the chip when TSM upgrades its chip fab technology.
But the one shining counter example to tech decline has been Musk and SpaceX.
Musk’s internet in space has the highest satellite technology (those laser links are a big advance in space to space communication), but the key requirement is the capability to launch huge numbers of satellites cheaply.
For which he needs Starship. Not to mention making mankind interplanetary.
Currently the FAA is slow walking approval. When something gets slow walked in this manner, chances are that approval will never be forthcoming, or will be approved with poison pill conditions.
The vast majority of the objections that they are supposedly so carefully evaluating are just random variations on a script, a very familiar pro forma script, with the word “pipeline” replaced by “rocket”. This is a stalling tactic while bureaucratic infighting over the real decision continued. Reading between the lines, it starting to look like the bureaucratic infighting has ended in victory for a priesthood that sees techies as adherents of a hostile faith. They no longer need to manufacture stalls, they can just stall.
On the other hand, it is going to be mighty embarrassing if the US government has send men to space station by hitching rides on Russian rockets again. The rhetoric of progress is a key part of progressive ideology. We are supposedly so much wiser than our ignorant racist sexist predecessors, and supposedly all this wonderful technology makes the advance of the left inevitable and irreversible. They don’t want to kill off space access, but may be unable to restrain themselves.
If, as is likely, Starship is sitting on the launch stand ready for its first orbital test, and the FAA is still indefinitely stalling the launch, some top level pressure may be applied to approve it. I was quite surprised when the obvious desire for war with Russia was reigned in from above. Perhaps the same may happen with Starship.
They perceive access to space is status and power for an enemy faith. One big reason for Musk’s success is that when he hires people, he shows profound disrespect for official Ivy League qualifications. He and his organization are not putting the right people in power over his rockets. They don’t like that. (They don’t like open source software either, and Linux has succumbed to the demon worshipers.)
If Musk wants to get us to space, it starting to look like a launch facility on the periphery of the Chinese hegemony or the Russian empire might be necessary, or the borderlands between the US empire and the other two. The Russians seem to have given him an invitation for a launch facility in Russia, but that is likely to prove a little close to the bear’s embrace.
That is a sentiment I agree with; that Putin sees the men in Ukraine as brothers in blood to those in his own columns; and that any casualty on either side is ultimately striking at his own patrimony; and that looming above all in mind nothing was more catastrophic than the european civil wars of 1906 and 1939; something that has ultimately necessitated something equivalently bloody to burn out the cancer that has grown up in it’s wake.
The question becomes rather whether one course or another will actually result in less destruction in the long run; and that is what i’ve had in mind when discussing the matter.
1906?
Typo for the war to end all wars.
The Pig War was stoking up to a sizzlin’ heat about then tho.
That is a good question. For my part, I believe that merely making the American Empire look weak enough will shake it apart, as its colonies ignore its dictats or openly rise against it. The Amerikaner, in my estimation of history, is also a janissary people of the Carthage-esque rule of Harvard. But provoking the US’ military wrath and then defeating it utterly may prove faster and better in the long run. Who can say? War has its own logic, and Athena and Ares both get a say, though only one of the two is a demon with no sanctuary but the battlefield and no offerings save the blood of men.
I expect that Russia will prove friendly to those struggling against the GAE, and I hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, we will be cracking open a case of munitions ‘from Russia with love’.
Though of course I should not forget the timid and petty nature of the Classical Greek, and the linguistic entanglement of Ares and arete, both hearkening back via linguistic memory to the fury of the aryan against the Mediterranean peoples he bent to the ground. And we should recall those who did build Ares a temple, though they called him by a different name.
>But provoking the US’ military wrath and then defeating it utterly may prove faster and better in the long run.
The way i see it expediting the destruction of enemy forces with greater force is in terms of social reality no more provocative than the choice to fight at all in the first place; in certain ways, perhaps less so even.
Russiamania has been percolating for years, and bluechecks are whipped up into full putler derangement syndrome now anyways, though the notion that part of the target audience is fence sitters in the region is also an interesting angle to consider.
Not escalating would be not invading to begin with; but then the herd of cats presently occupying organs of power in the global anti-american empire have by turn and turns backed him into a corner on the matter, so that’s out. There is a great deal of argument that all ultimately add up to the notion that if you are going to invade, you should *invade*; that a shorter war is almost always preferable to a longer war, in so many ways (but that you should also never count on it, and always look to a strategic posture capable of handling long war).
Though perhaps Biden’s handler’s words of ‘a minor military incursion’ were rattling around in the back of his mind.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the US can still only be “defeated” through own-goals and needless internal decay. There is still no “defeating” this thing in a traditional sense, i.e. on the open battlefield. Perhaps not even in terms of nuclear war – there’s a chance Moscow and Petersburg would be glass while Russian missiles are disintegrating like mosquitoes in a bugzapper over California. The US is the third most-populous nation in the world and the wealthiest, with a highly uniform linguistic culture and, though we may lament it, strong consensus on a number of political ideas.
Look at how half these fucking jackals started calling for blood and concentration camps because some MAGA moms in Idaho or some shit refused to wear fucking face masks. Organize that bloodthirsty energy outwards and I doubt the entire world together could take them. Hell, if ZOG were extinguished tomorrow, even I’d become a patriot again and would be happy to die for what my great-grandfathers built.
I mean, why has Globohomo come this far? Because US wanted it…and not even that much. Not like Nazi Germany want. What that beast could do if provoked – well, look at WWII whatever you think of its causes or significance. In the 1930s the US was full of rabid feminists and communists and then, boom, war machine engaged, and they were gone like that.
Long way of saying let’s not hope for US direct engagement in service of Globohomo any time soon…
What counts in war is not individual wealth, but total GDP. China now substantially exceeds the US is total GDP, and official figures to the contrary are the result of counting wealth transfer as productivity (that is how those blue states are so productive – the FIRE economy) and gaming the CPI.
>official figures to the contrary are the result of counting wealth transfer as productivity
The Soviets were prone to the opposite GDP fudging — counting pre-market and pre-utilization productivity. You make a 100 tractors or a 1000 pipes, and then they sit in a warehouse rusting due to crap state planning. In effect the only real gain from the exercise is the salary the workers received, while everything else is a total loss. But the very fact of producing counts toward the GDP, in spite of the actual product instantly dropping out of reality.
So on the one hand you get the globohomo fake GDP of loans and debts and sheit, as in “if your GDP is so great how come you’re not making anything”; and on the other hand the Soviet fake GDP of massive numbers of real production which then does not enter the market, as in “if you’re producing all those millions of tons of stuff, where the heck is it?”
> Organize that bloodthirsty energy outwards and I doubt the entire world together could take them.
90% of that “bloodthirsty energy” is from fat Karens who get winded walking to the refrigerator. These people are internet tigers and nothing more.
The US is collapsing and is in no way culturally unified. The people are becoming more and more stupid. As Jim pointed out, the economy is in shambles and is based on unproductive sectors. The manufacturing that you need to be great is long gone, and will take decades to reintroduce and get competent again. Science and engineering is dying like the manufacturing industry. Militarily, there is no competence or cohesion, and all of the lessons learned on war are the wrong ones. Long story short, if America goes forth to conquer the world with steel and fire, they are going to get crushed.
For all the so called Wealth. It has the most hideous architecture in the world. The buildings are pure garbage.
The art is garbage.
I cannot call that wealth.
Second wave of russian airborn assaults hitting targets now – this time with massive fire support.
Awesome. Got a link?

The “Russia has bungled EVERYTHING” narratives seem to be ramping on both Twitter and 4chan. It may very well be the case that we are witnessing a stunning martial victory that will set the tone going forward for peer/near-peer conflict. I know everyone thought it was going poorly/slow, but for goodness sake, everyone said it wasn’t going to happen a week ago, then they initiated a true combined arms invasion and have, thus far, kept collateral damage to a minimum. There’s still power and internet. Looks like American invasion of Iraq is going to be relegated to Old & Busted status way sooner than I thought.
It’s funny, this is playing out like the Invasion of Iraq. I remember how fucking hard it was to tell what was going on, story after story of just utter bullshit and how we’re losing, etc, then suddenly I’m watching American tanks drive in the background behind Bagdad Bill while he’s screaming there are no Americans in Bagdad.
Bagdad Bob*
>story after story of just utter bullshit and how we’re losing
Clear to any with eyes to see who the real enemy was then.
Fox news: “Russian forces slowing down, resistance is stronger than expected”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ukraine-invasion-slower-more-resistance
Russian media: “On the 25th Putin ordered complete halt of armed forces while offering change of negotiation to Ukraine govt”
https://www.gazeta.ru/politics/news/2022/02/26/17350237.shtml
Sounds like the Russians are using lots of drones now too.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10551327/Chechen-special-forces-hunters-unleashed-Ukraine-detain-kill-Kyiv-officials.html
If this is true and not propaganda it means Russian forces probably already are mostly in control of Kiev.
This seems like a propaganda thing, but it isn’t immediately clear for what purpose. Chechens are terrifying creatures in war, the few GWoT guys i’ve talked to (that i actually trust) said they were terrifying to face in AFG. But that is a place they would easily blend in, going against Americans who may not be able to tell the difference between an Arab, a Persian, and a Chechen. So i could see RUS spreading this story to cause defection and panic, as well I could see UKR spreading it to demonize RUS. But I wonder if there’s any utility to the idea, as in, did they get para-dropped in, or just dropped off by RUS regulars? Wouldn’t it be easier to use Spetznas that speak or even are Ukrainian?
https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1497467132950548486
At this point, the only mounting death toll is the number of false narratives. Of course, this could be propaganda too, but the whole “and then they all died singing the national anthem” thing seemed as preposterous as two Ilyushins getting swatted down with no debris.
The Snake Island stuff was such obvious bullshit it surprised me anyone took it seriously.
The ghost of kiev shot down 6 million russian planes and then totally destroyed 81 million Russian APCs, then he became a she as she announced she was a brave transwoman and then everyone clapped and said fuck Blonald Blumpf.

HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Fox News seemed to be pushing it more than anyone. Every time I put them on out of curiosity a host was mentioning it. Sad and pathetic that cons are eating this crap up.
I think the relationship dynamic is the reverse: Fox knows what Boomercons want, and very high on that list is a return to normalcy. Fearing the evil bear is about as normal as they can imagine.
True, in many ways they relish in the Cold War when they could call the Russians, commie bastards.
Until very recently I had assumed that the coalition governing the US contains a faction that wants war with Russia and that this faction is barely suppressed by a less insane faction that wants brezhnevian stability and stagnation.
What is the insane faction doing now? For them this should like an opportunity to get the war they want, but as far as I can see they are not pushing for escalation. Why?
Were they suddenly cured of their insanity? How so? That would be very unusual for a leftist group.
My guess is that the less insane faction of old relatively smart leftists is much more powerful than I thought previously. This would also explain why Trump was not yet arrested, why BLM has (for now) largely stopped from burning, looting, and murdering.
Or is the pro-war faction simply stunned and surprised? If so, that might last for a few more days, but then they’ll start pushing for war, at least if Russia has not won by then and the fighting in Ukraine stopped.
There is a pro-war faction pushing for a NFZ in Ukraine but they don’t seem to be all that loud or powerful. Yes the less insane left is firmly in power. Has been firmly in power since 1776 and I don’t think that will change. There is a reason why America did not go down the path of the French Revolution in the 18th century and the Russian Revolution in the 20th. The same insane leftists were present and they were quickly shut down by the less insane leftists. It is a very stable system on gradual decline and slow boiling the frog.
Putin’s spiritual destiny

https://unherd.com/2022/02/putins-spiritual-destiny/
Leftist shithead writing it, but he’s not entirely wrong about Putin.
Better more in depth article

An a cathedral video:

I will feel better if Putin abolishes all worship of the Covid demon after this is the one thing, but clearly it looks like hes won.
“I will feel better if Putin abolishes all worship of the Covid demon after this is the one thing…”
My word can you even imagine. Hearts and Minds indeed. “I have nukes, and will protect you from the vaccinators.”
I think the Russian rona response is motivated by fear of a US/Chinese bioweapon. That the virus is harmless and the vaccine is the bioweapon has not yet dawned on them.
No, Russia has real globohomo influences inside the country. We see that with all the dumb ass girls screaming against the war in Moscow and all the dumb celebrities in the country condemning it. In many ways it is high status in Russia to be a shitlib wannabe imitating the western liberal trend of the day.
When Communism fell into liberal democracy, by default all the former communist countries adopted the globohomo state religion in different degrees by default as they were absorbed into the GAE.
Russia, led by Putin, resisted and continues to resist. Given that Russia is a monarchy now they are much better equipped to fight it but they need a strong state religion. Putin is fighting globohomo abroad and at home.

Man they lost a lot of moral authority when they put down the Truckers.
I’d like to re-open the question of what the hell Musk can do now to get the Starship going again, perhaps even in response to the (today presumed) near-future success of Vladimir’s QuantumKrieg in Ukraine now, which started like hours after Jim hit “publish” on this very OP.
Karens are going to be madder than ever after this, which will mean all sorts of terrible things for their subjects like Musk.
I can’t imagine any partnership with/in/around Russia now.
My clinging hope is that the floating platforms can shake Karen off Musk’s tail for a little longer, because they move the launching, landing, and fuel handling away from land-based jurisdictions, which is most of them.
But beyond that?
One great thing about the floating platforms is that they float, and can be tugged to anywhere. Tugged to where?
Maybe a fenced “semi autonomous region” of Yucatan Mexico, like with its own dock, Houston commuter/Fedex airstrip and no passport checks.
If Mexico is too close, then I wonder: Are there countries that are still officially in the Cathedralsphere, but actually part of Outer China? Maybe there’s an arbitrage play there.
Taiwan screams out, for instance.
If I’m reading my maps right, there are also launch paths out of southern Vietnam and the NE tip of Malaysian Borneo. Heck Brunei is on Borneo too.
And after that it’s Australia, Tanzania, Brazil and New Zealand. New Zealand!
Most of these ideas must be stupid, but all of them?
My pessimistic view: he’s shit out of luck. He does not have the time and political capital needed for a mars colonization. No one has. Maybe migrate to China, maybe relocate to border empire countries, but it is many hoops to jump through, with uncertain results.
Musk’s only real chance is a US military coup. Seems very unlikely.
If the US gets too hostile to him he’ll move to China to make cars and probably assist them with their space program but he’ll never step foot on Mars.
I wonder if Musk has considered contingencies for this sort of thing. But I don’t think the US Military has enough life in it for any such sanity.
Things to look for: a lot of people are being and will be forced from the military because of failure to venerate the Corona Demon. Has Musk been picking them up disproportionately with job offers? They’d probably be useful to his companies just as employees and having a lot of them gives you…options, should things go nonlinear.
Musk isn’t going to overthrow the US government. But a military coup would prioritize towards military supremacy and heavy lift capability is at the top of that list.
@Red
USG ground forces (army and police) are a joke.
I wouldn’t completely rule out military coup, but yes it seems very unlikely.
Total ejection of the outer party would need to happen which would cause the inner party to turn the insanity level of up to preposterous levels unrestrained causing loyalty of the upper social classes to the regime to collapse thus creating the necessary pre-coup conditions.
I don’t see that likely even a little bit.
which would allow the inner party*
Jim-compliant social networking (with payments) will blow all kinds of “impossibles” right open, like a grenade in a pinata. It would be like the Trump Spring of 2016 all over again, but with foot-thick steel plating. And I’ll keep on reminding you guys of it too (because I’m not smart enough to do the work myself).
Never will so many owe so much to so few!
But beyond that, just straight-up Paperclipping himself and his most devoted followers to Reunified Taiwan, on a Hail Mary Joint Twinkie Mission to maybe save the human race from the Global Haiti, has a certain Von Braun romance to it.
@Mister Grumpus
Global Haiti died in Ukraine.
I think it died in Kabul and Ukraine is just where the smell started to show, but we are in agreement. America is dead, and progressivism needs to die with it.
@Wulfgar Thundercock III
USG army and police forces have became a joke after Iraq and Afghanistan.
And the USG Air Force (the “Chair Force†really) is on its way to being a punchline in Ukraine.
“and progressivism needs to die with it.â€
Well Rome fell while the Vatican kept going, so we can expect Harvard to keep going too.
But the Vatican didn’t have much competition either. Beats me.
Holiness spirals always expire catastrophically. Harvard will die first.
Can we say that the Vatican kept going through the dark and middle ages, but didn’t holiness spiral because it couldn’t command the (kings’) warriors?
Rome did holiness spiral from time to time, but was checked because Kings got pissed with it, and because Bishops who were more worried about their Kings than their Pope got pissed with it, so the spirals never went very far.
@Alf
Nope. The USG ruling class is shit out of luck. They have no ground force supremacy. And they have no air superiority. Elon is the only thing providing them with space superiority over Russia and China.
If they stop Elon, then nowhere will be safe for them, as Putin promised.
Yes well something something about the scorpion and the frog…
That’s funny, there must have been something vibrating in the aether, since i had posted something just like this in response to another comment at the same time, without even seeing it.
Thoughts on the ground in a red state: most “conservative” normies buy the media story on Russia hook, line and sinker. Big bad Putin is picking on poor little Ukraine. If we were let to fight all out we could totally kick Russia’s ass. That sort of shit. They acknowledge things have changed, the housing market sucks, Brandon sucks, but cannot or will not acknowledge some red pill truths. To make things worse, they have failed the lefty shit tests from invading blue states. I am increasingly thinking there is much more pain and sorrow for the Amerikaner.
To offer a counter arguement, Founding Questions (formerly known as Rotten Chestnuts) says that we are winning in an article from today. Not sure if I buy that.
If they were smart enough to see past the “media story on Russia,” they wouldn’t be normies.
The average American can’t find Illinois on a map, let along Russia, let alone Ukraine. But many Americans are starting to wake up here at home, and that’s what matters.
Tucker is still on point, but yes every other show on Fox News is basically in lock step with the inner party. I don’t think this should be a shock. When the Russian flag goes up over Kiev in a few hours or a few days it will be good for the boomercon to see that.
Propaganda works and always has worked.
The Cathedral is loudly proclaiming the Ukrainians are valiantly defending, killing many Russians, and may actually still win.
In reality, the Russians are giving the Ukrainian regular army the opportunity to desert en masse, which they are doing, and sorting out who the Nazis and nationalists are who will be fought to the death, with limited casualties.
It’s going to be something when reality pops this intense completely fake propaganda bubble.
Same in my country.
Suddenly, all of the left/ progressives, cuckservatives, football fans (!?!), Serbs by profession (that is, supposed “representatives” of Serb minority in Sabor), professional Ustashes, 🙂 feminazis, my paps and my wife’s paps, all kind of people are decidedly asking the Putin’s head. In mainstream press, campaign against Russia is decidedly becoming witch-hunt, even more so than with fake vaxx and covid demon worshiping.
Sadly, even a few purplish-pilled, somewhat reactionarish politicians, including those I used to vote for, fell to hysteria.
There was voting in parliament about some resolution in support of Ukraine. If I was a parliamentary representative, I’d cast a “restrained” vote (neither “no” nor “yes”, don’t know exact English phrase).
There was one restrained vote. One.
From an otherwise totally crazy leftist lady.
I’m even seeing conservative American women on twitter becoming attracted to Zelensky given that every press outlet is painting him as some defiant war hero amazing leader, saying he’s got “big dick energy”. He’s probably not even in Kiev. Absolutely, pathetic.
He’s an actor playing a role. Women have terribly poor instincts about alpha.
Once American women realize what a hollow shell of a man he is, he is going to be the most prolific rapist in American history. Twitter raped, the poor things.
What state, I’m not seeing that in Florida.
The entire GOP is universally in lock step with the Democrats backing Ukraine. I would assume DeSantis is saying all kinds of dumb think of the poor Ukraine shit like Abbott just did. Reminds me of the Floyd negro riots when Tucker was literally the person publicly saying wtf is wrong with you people.
Maybe DeSantis made a token statement but the stupid Nikki Fried bitch here initially condemned DeSantis for keeping his mouth shut.
I will say this is bad. When you have Democrats and Republicans in lock step then the recipe for war is there.
Can someone explain to a brainlet like myself what it means to remove Russia from SWIFT payments and what the implications of this would be? I’m hearing that this might be on the cards within a few days.
It basically means to turn off a big chunk of the flow of dollars and demand for dollars. India already said they are setting up a clearing house for commodities to trade with Russia if it happens. It wouldn’t be hard to see China, Russia, India trading amongst themselves completely without dollars. What would happen if half of the worlds oil stops trading in dollars? Nothing good for the US. I’m not saying Russia is half of the worlds oil trade, but it wouldn’t take many producers/consumers to reach 50% of all oil traded in something other than dollars, if Russia doesn’t participate in Swift.
What it means is that if a Russian, or Putin, or Russia, has money in a bank outside of Russia, the money is frozen. So Russia cannot pay for imports in US$ or the money of countries of the US hegemony, nor be paid for goods its sells to the US hegemony.
It is another nail in the coffin of the US$.
The damage done to the US would be 10X than what would be done to Russia. It’s an insane idea.
I do not believe they will actually remove Russia from SWIFT, Yellen and Larry Summers still have some cathedral influence and they are sane enough and smart enough to know the result of removing Russia from SWIFT would be the end of the dollar.
Holy shit I may be wrong, there is increased chatter about doing it. Fucking retards.
Both China and Russia have (early) replacements for SWIFT. These will of course be more difficult to use initially. SWIFT is a company in Belgium, I believe, but for all practical purposes controlled by the US. International payments go through this hub, which is quite useful for many purposes.
The long-term drawback of forcing Russia to run their alternative instead of SWIFT is that the US loses their current eagle’s eye view and control of international payments. If the alternatives grow too popular, there will be headaches in Washington.
What confuses me about SWIFT, every time, is what a big deal it is.
So one bank account goes down, and another goes up somewhere else. Payment made.
Wow. Big deal.
But it is a big deal, because it’s still the only game in town.
The conventional wisdom is that everyone in banking has dynamite under their beds to make sure they’re too scared to do payments any other way, other than crypto or flying around with suitcases full of cash or gold bars or whatever.
But I wonder if it’s also laziness, cruft, bloatware, and having no one left who actually understands how the whole system actually works, so it’s impossible to actually change or improve on it, just for practical reasons.
The latter.
Like NASA rockets, the international finance system is falling apart.
It has a lot of different nails in its coffin. And a lot of different people hammering new ones. It has termites in the rafters, and cancer in its bowels. It has more terminal ailments than you can shake a stick at.
You, as before, proceed from the false premise that Putin is not globohomo. In reality, he just wants the progress of globohomo to freeze at a certain level of decay, and this simply never works, just like vanilla conservatism does not work. Perhaps this is due to sentimentalism in relation to the most progressive state of the twentieth century – the Soviet Union. Do you really think that Ukrainians need to endure defeat and the costs associated with it in order to get such an insignificant and unstable improvement? Do you think that the position of the Russians will improve after the conquest of Ukraine?
Modern Russia is not the northern snow kingdom of the ancient Rus, in which courageous men on bears valiantly fight the hordes, while their pregnant wives in headscarves cook borscht in elegant wooden huts for them. Modern Russia is a dying socialist garbage dump. You might as well support the CCP, Napoleon or Hitler, expecting them to bring back the good old days. Will not return.
“It is not perfect, so cannot be good. Give up. Abandon hope.” There, I saved space and time.
lmao..well said.
Maybe hohols are the lesser evil.
In structural terms:
1) Globohomo is a conglomerate of corporations ran by stateless psychopaths and predators. Over the last 15 years this faction mostly took over on all levels, propped up by holiness generated by symbiotic liberasts. They are trying to usher in a post-human reality.
2) Russia is trying to be an old-fashioned corporation-state Mussolini/Bismark style. It is fighting back against constant attempts of a hostile takeover and brutal breakup by globohomo conglomerate forces.
3) China — in the past it did not have enough wealth or natural recourses to be a specific target for hostile takeover and breakup. Today it is the yummiest target in the world. However, the current middle-aged and senior elites are still mostly a consolidated group of solid material.
Xi purged the infected that had crept up over the last 25 years, and now China is back to the original maoist-capitalist vision that kicked off in the 1970s: 5% of the population communist apparatchiks leading a prudent frugal lifestyle (not counting a few rockstar fat cats in the business sectors), 95% of the population just leading normal productive lives inside a Chinese universe, while protected and managed by the 5%. That is the implied social contract. Soviet managerial matrix + lessons learned from capitalism + local cultural foundation.
Neither globohomo, nor Russia, nor China, nor borderlands such as EE or EA are “the good guys”, but they do offer at the current historical junction competing forms of corporate managerial philosophy and practice.
In the Anglospherical 5 eyes and Europe and elsewhere, there are people who either:
A) Do not want to live by the rules of Corporation X, but prefer Corporation Y or Z.
B) Despise the very molecules of the world created and maintained by corporate reality. Those latter ones are the deplorables, with their fascist-terrorist notions of liberty, free will, inalienable property rights, right to privacy, free business choice, level playing field, fair play, control of institutions by a free citizenry, and so on.
The ones in point A, who are theoretically shopping around for better corporate functioning may have a point. For example the corporate states of Japan, gay Korea, or Singapore, do not appear to be as genocidal toward their citizens. To the contrary, the institutions appear to believe that they a responsibility toward the citizens.
The ones in point B, who feel that the very concept of a managerial corporate society, especially on a planetary scale, is the antichrist matrix, have two plays:
1) Go to the borderlands where the corporate matrix is weakest (Eastern Europe, South East Asia, parts of Latin America or Africa, if the deplorable in question is a normal black)
2) Constantly be on the lookout what changes in the patterns of force result from the internal processes of their corporate matrix, combining with the interaction with external corporate entities.
Or, of course, a mixture of the two approaches.
A deplorable who has admitted the situation of what his society is, but has not been broken by this knowledge, has a number of political priorities that include:
1) Not wanting a planetary victory of just one corporate model, be it globohomo, Russian, or Chinese. Without an external competitor, the corporate overlords lose their last shreds of pretending to be human.
2) Trying to subtly or publicly influence events so that at least some parts of the toxic globohomo social tissue around him is replaced back by healthy tissue, or at least slow down the opposite process of civilizational toxification.
Some inter-corporate or intra-corporate developments can be used for a deplorable’s benefit. Lessons can be learned, opportunities can be taken.
My condolences to the poor devils in the Ukraine. During the 19th and 20th century almost every place in EE experienced what it is like to be a pawn in games between great powers. Sometimes your country hits the jackpot and the result is positive, for example when at that specific moment it worked out best for everyone if you get independence, or you get investments etc. More frequently the result is negative, and while great powers duke it out, the little guy in the middle is the one losing territory, population, and experiencing a national trauma.
We can cheer when we see some positive development happening in any of the managerial corporate entities, because any glimpse of humanity is always invigorating. But yes, we should not lose sight of them being corporate entities; we should not lose sight of the push against the toxic corporate forces around us; and we should lose sight of the poor bastards who pay the bill when direct or indirect kinetic war between planetary factions erupts.
>and we should lose sight of the poor bastards
Obviously a “not” missing.
The best.
The shortest.
Yet totally complete description of present state of world affairs.
I’ll use it in mostly futile discussions with normies.
It is deeply depressing.
When I was a kid, I’ve always thought that by these years, humanity will find a cure for cancer and send probes to the nearest stars.
Ironically, mRNA gene therapy invented by dr. Malone, nowadays applied in clot shots, was envisioned by him as a possible path for creating the cure for cancer.
A Russian businessman Yuri Milner (yes, yes, I know he’s of Jewish origin, don’t care) has a few years ago actually envisioned Breakthrough Starshot project for sending unmanned probe to Alpha Centauri (articles and links here: https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2016/04/12/breakthrough-starshot-mission-to-alpha-centauri/)
Instead, all we got is lousy fake vaxx and shooting over Ukraine.
Speaking of that, what do you think of these maps?

Are those maps true at all?
Thanks, and every interesting map with the bio-labs. Adds another dimension, of which securing Chernobyl was just the visible tip of the iceberg.
Now that I got interested here are some more links, most needing online translate. Thanks again for this interesting line.

? Are you talking about corporations as in bodies, or corporations in the legal-economic sense? If the latter, this statement is way off. Globohomo emanates from academia. Burnham “managerialism” has always been a red herring.
Maybe in the fascist sense.
Normiecom tier article on why the invasion’s happening.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ukraines-deadly-gamble
Russian troops already fighting in Mykolaiv, west of the Dnieper.
The southern front seems to be collapsing rapidly.
There was a lot of surprise in recent posts that the cathedral has backed off Corona demon worship. Now looking at this conflict in Ukraine, does it seem likely that the powers that be needed to focus their attention on Russia? Something took their attention. I had thought another apple cart was about to be looted, but maybe pressure from Putin had more to do with it.
The backoff happened shortly after color revolution was suppressed in Khazakstan.
This may be similar to strangely sudden end of first wave feminism in America after the 1933 German elections.
Normally when a color revolution is suppressed, the Cathedral intervenes militarily to protect the oppressed and victimized protesters, which is why they are able to use violence against the state that they are overthrowing, and the state is unable to use violence against them.
This may have been the moment when the USG started reading reports of its profound military weakness.
But if that was the case we would expect a sudden end of jabs for the military, and a sudden forgetfulness about the rights of women, gays and transgenders in the military.
We should also start seeing movies depict that manly violent men.
I still recollect that story within a story depicted in Avatar, the last airbender, where the Avatar gang, in very thin disguise, go to watch a play about themselves. It was a thinly veiled complaint by the screenwriters about the story they were writing, and it parodied the themes you saw in Avatar and see in every story – the utterly emasculated hero, and the manly kick ass warrior women. Those screenwriters were not happy with the restrictions on story telling.
If they’re going to get ready for war, they’re going to have to let Musk finish his rockets. We’ll see.
@Red
Elon is the only reason the USG has space superiority over Russia and China.
USG has no type of supremacy with niggers and women at the helm regardless of technology. Indeterminate if they’ll be able to role that shit back in actual war like they did in the 40s.
@Pooch
The USG has space supremacy over Russia and China because of Elon (two thirds of global annual orbital up mass with just the Falcon 9).
But it has no air superiority anymore.
And it’s ground armies and police are a joke. To be overtaken by PMCs eventually (like South Africa).
Jim, can you corroborate that assertion (back-off on Coronachan and Kazakhstan) with a timeline? It is not that I don’t trust you, I trust you implicitly specifically because of how many times I’ve been flat wrong in disagreeing with you. But 2 thoughts occurred when I read your comment: midwits and busybodies love timelines ( i can vouch), and we don’t seem to use a lot of those in this tribe. The meme potential of a well crafted timeline is excellent because it jogs the big thonk for people with short attention spans. I might be off base on this, but I think that is a particular meme/psyop that could be pretty darn useful.
Also, we are not the same America that we were in the 1930s, so there would be an equivalent tone-softening, not an exact replica. The forgetfulness will probably be about pedo-normalization and other fringe concepts but leave “bedrock” progressive principles intact.
Predictions around here have been poor lately. Disastrous faith put in Trump, prediction of the Corona Worship being pushed until we are all dead, prediction that Trump would be imprisoned and the insane Left grabbing the reins of power.
While Namefag Yarvin’s predictions have been fairly good.
@Attention
You’re exactly right. That’s why I’ve stopped paying attention to most of the comments here.
My prediction has always been total war, mass murder on a very large scale, or total collapse around 2026 or so.
Events remain on track for that prediction.
I have been predicting it for twenty years or so, and on this blog, for at least ten years.
We still have “everyone must get vaxxed endlessly” enforcement in most places, despite increasing indication of cumulative damage.
We still have a solid diet of weak men and strong women in the media.
The courtship dance may not be realistically depicted.
We still have hordes of enemies being flown in.
The flooding of America with enemies has escalated. We are seeing some hesitancy in vaxing everyone to death, but the vax enforcement is still at levels likely to kill most normies if vaxing has significant cumulative effect, and it rather looks as if it does have significant cumulative effect.
Money printing continues to escalate.
The general trend to greater and greater abnormality at shorter and shorter intervals is still in place. Yarvin’s prediction was that it would slow down, or somewhat stabilize. This has not happened.

Well it is now 2022, and things are happening a whole lot faster than they were ten years ago.

Am I a good prophet, or a damned good prophet?
2019/04/29
Well am I damned good prophet? Give me an answer?. Did Moldubug predict what has happened, and what is continuing to happen? I did.

It is not that moderation and sanity is prevailing, it is that incapacity is prevailing.
2021/08/01
You heard it hear first. As you heard that democracy was shortly going to abandoned here first.
We shall see.
He never said that. Yarvin’s prediction, given in 2008, is that our future is South Africa and Venezuela. He has never deviated off that prediction. I don’t see that being proven wrong. In fact, seems going right along as predicted.
Venezuala as the future is possible and its extremely bleak.
South Africa isn’t possible, South Africa relies on the American Empire to keep 100 white guys from banding together and taking over the government. If America becomes South Africa than it will be ruled by a white warlord who seizes power a month later.
South Africa is already here in plenty of places. Go to Baltimore and decide what continent you are on.
Various corrupt negropolises is not South Africa
The blacks in South Africa are the Cathedrals pets, and the blacks in Baltimore are the Cathedral’s pets.
Yarvin’s prediction is that there will be a petkeeper forever. But South Africa and Baltimore are incapable of keeping pets. If America becomes South Africa, no more pets.
Not his prediction. You keep confidently asserting what his predictions are, yet admit you never read his blog.
His prediction is that we will slowly slide into a barely functioning third world country in similar fashion of the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Maybe when it becomes a non-functional failed state, 100 whites take over. He hasn’t ruled that out, but it is going to be a rather painful period of anarcho-tyranny until we get there in the same way South Africa is experiencing a rather painful state of anarcho-tyranny to get there.
It absolutely is.
Baltimore does not keep pets. They are pets. No petkeeper, no pets.
Namefag Yarvin in one of his newer interviews predicted Brezhvevian decline, that once Trump would be out of office the Left would begin to cease insanity as they would no longer feel there was resistance against their power.
Obviously given the events of the past two years this prediction was false.
Have not heard that. Do you have a link? I am an avid Yarvin reader and listener and what I’ve heard and read is Brezhevian decline into a third world country. Seem like thats going right on as predicted.
What I heard about Trump was that he predicted with Trump out of power the energy level of the left would lower. That prediction was true.
That prediction will be tested come November.
I like Yarvin despite his horrible diction on podcasts/interviews and his tendency to fill his articles with trivia.
However, predicting “Brezhnevian decline into a third world country” is quite an easy guess.
America becoming a new Brazil, albeit richer and nuclearized, seems the obvious development right now. The only question would be whether the 21st century USA can siphon enough high IQ human capital from across the world to stay relevant against China.
Which is what the famous David P Goldman columnist defends:
https://asiatimes.com/2022/01/us-needs-more-asians-to-avoid-demographic-death/
Jim’s predictions are way more risky. I think that is what makes them more interesting.
We had to put faith in Trump while there was any chance of victory, Trump failed on the same thing Yarvin failed on. He believed in Covid for a time. Perhaps he could have seized power on January 6th, perhaps he could have installed better people and perhaps not. Perhaps he was hamstrung… Hard to know. I like to think he could have picked better people and that he had a real choice but perhaps not…
But he could have denounced covid and lockdowns strongly from the beginning without once making a break and pounded the table on the South Korean data… and I think that would have saved him and saved us.
Now I never did much believe in covid except as perhaps some flu or engineered cold variant that may have been slightly worse. Predicting the future is hard and nobody is very good at it because you never have all the information and you must do multivariable analysis beyond what even the greatest human minds are capable of, seeing bullshit in the present is easy. And I am good at that.
Now it’s clear why Ukraine is really ramping up the underdog the can still vibe to insane levels which Western press just mindlessly repeats. They are trying to convince the US that Russia is actually a much weaker foe than anticipated and US intervention will put Ukraine over the top to victory.

The comments are illuminating as well. You see other people intelligently corroborating the assertions, as well the pr-programmed “RUS bot!/Putler lover/etc” responses.
You asked Jim below for a timeline on the kazak color rev attempt compared to corona restrictions ending. It may not line up exactly, but as they planned for that attempt, likely motivated by knowledge Russia was about to mobilize, they might have started priming for the corona narrative wind-down. So maybe it didn’t start after the color rev. failed, but as they were prepping for this whole event in general.
Media stage managing of the conflict didn’t mean it’s”fake”, but that they’re trying to take advantage. This war might just be some window dressing for further”great reset”related plans, but Putin’s Christian signaling makes that harder to believe.
Criticism of the prediction that COVID worshipping would continue until we’re all dead (also from below) seems premature. I didn’t think Jim literally meant until every single person is dead, but enough might have AIDS by now that it’s basically good enough.
Something is definitely way off about this all. The near absence of authentic images/info coming organically from the ground suggests almost complete, wartime-level censorship.
Arab Spring, a decade ago: thousands, tens of thousands of organic on-the-ground reports from obviously real people. Maidan 2014, similar. Even Kabul as late as last year. Now? Almost nothing, and that little which gets out is all almost identical and half later proven to be fake and from years ago.
Hell, Kiev is a city of 3 million people. 40 millions in Ukraine. Before 2/22/22 there was probably more social media action of people walking their dogs and eating kebap on the streets than there are now in the midst of “the most super-duper-serious-hyper-important war since 1945!!! Omg Zelenskyy, syuch hyero.” (I guess we’re spelling everything with more Ys now?)
In 2020 they so completely fine-tuned the censorship apparatus – maybe with the help of machine learning when everyone was home all the time – that it seems a whole damn country’s worth of information can simply mysteriously all but disappear.
I get more reports about gun action in my old American hometown than about in Ukraine, and I haven’t spent ungodly hours searching for it over days…”social media” is about as grassroots, organic, and democratic as a cheap broadsheet in Moscow in 1937…
Creepy, but not surprising anymore sadly. The internet is just dead.
The flood of propaganda and almost total absence of real news has been unreal. I didn’t think it was possible to pump out that much propaganda in such a short amount of time.
Jim your take on the retarded insane booting of Russia from SWIFT on a weekend day after saying all week they wouldn’t do it…
Apparently it’s not the major Russian banks so this may sound more severe than it really is.
I heard it was 80% of Russian banks including the central bank.
That’s not confirmed anywhere. They are purposely using the language “some†banks will be cut off. I still think it will be less severe than it sounds.
https://www.axios.com/eu-expels-russia-swift-network-728618c1-2d09-4c3d-a325-551635adfbec.html
Yet another nail in SWIFT’s coffin, this time a nine inch nail.
And the dollar may die sooner than expected while what benefits, the yuan, bitcoin?
All depends on what Russia chooses to transact in.
It could be the panicked thrashing of a dying beast. Trying to lash out at its tormentors and just making its position worse.
Fun part.
The niggers that globohomo imported into Ukraine to replace its White population are trying desperately to flee.
I don’t think the niggers will have a future in White countries after the old DC regime falls.

LOL!
For a second I thought “why are they being prevented from leaving?” but then I remembered Ukraine is part of GAE and therefore does exactly the opposite of what I would do.
Hello Jim. May you tell what’s your opinion on this blog’s claims?
[*shill link deleted*]
He has a rather decently researched history on the current global elite’s coming (linking occultism for one). He also critiques the Alt-Right’s positive stances towards China and Russia, nothing that both countries are in activity rather pozzed (Russia having swarms of Muslims within it for one).
2ndly, do you think it’s inaccurate to say that the elites as a whole like George Soros etc. Al rather than puppets like Biden and Hillary are cunning and know what they’re doing?
As soon as I saw the blog post title “Interactive 3D principal component analysis of the human race” I knew this was a shill link. If a real link, would say “human races”.
Upon examining the “”Interactive 3D principal component analysis” I found it supposedly showed that Anglos are about half way between plains apes and Russians, being slightly closer to the Russians, which does not seem very likely for any genuine principal component analysis.
The article “Naming the Enemy” starts off with all sorts of good stuff, and accurately references all sorts of good memes without misrepresenting them. And then reaches the conclusion that the enemy is the matador’s cape.
It correctly describes the ngos as the enemy, while neglecting to notice that the top of the ngos are run by people who have a state department hat and an ngo hat at their disposal, and a Soros budget and state department budget at their disposal, and were which ever hat is appropriate to their latest action, and bill their activies to whichever budget is appropriate, and that Soro’s wealth was ultimate granted by the American taxpayer.
The target of the “Naming the Enemy” shilling operation is the meme “Global American Empire”. The target of the race related shill article is race realism.
I recall a series of science-fiction novels in which an American space-resources billionnaire, faced with punitive taxes and regulations, relocated from the US to Mexico. I’m not saying that Mexico would be the best destination for Elon Musk, but there might be some jurisdiction better than the US.
Mongolia is interesting. Reasonably high IQ population, buffer state foreign policy. Chinese ruled Mongolia gets a long leash from China, and Russian aligned Mongolia gets a long leash from Russia, because both China and Russia want buffers between them, and the Mongolians cheerfully milk that.
UAE is interesting. US aligned, but very much aware that the Global American Empire is in decline and quietly hedging its bets. Significant high IQ racial minorities.
North East Asia is interesting, lot of Chinese level IQ populations, but more initiative and creativity than Chinese among some substantial racial groups. Still weak compared to whites, but considerably stronger than the Chinese. US aligned, but hedging its bets.
Who are the high IQ minorities in UAE?
Singapore / Malaysia? If a significant number of white people emigrate – India?
