It has long been known that much of the resources for Tor are provided by US spy agencies. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, since they might want a means for communicating that no one can spy on. However, Lucky Green, a key figure in the privacy community, has issued a warrant canary – what you issue when you are forbidden to tell people you have had a warrant …

Now four sovereign nations
Reactionaries are fond of saying there are three independent nations on the earth: America, Russia, and China. Everyone else is under the boot of the Cathedral, except for a few small protectorates of Russia and China. Each sovereign nation has its own Twitter equivalent, which enforces the values of its own state religion. It looks like Turkey may be added to the list, probably leading the Cathedral to re-evaluate Islam. …
RNC convention: No riots, no floor fight, Trump in charge.
The headlines and stories about the floor fight were written in advance. I heard what I presume was the floor fight live. The speaker called a vote that the troublemakers should not be given the opportunity to sound off, that that part of the proceedings should be skipped. Thunderous ayes. Two or three nays, perhaps four people shouting as loudly as they could. Maybe there were some quieter nays that …
Another prediction: No kayfabe at the Republican National Convention.
At the coming Republican National Convention Trump will be officially nominated as Republican candidate for president, in a process more like a coronation than a vote. A long distance outside the coronation, there will be small, and exceedingly peaceful protests. Anyone unpeaceful will be hammered down so hard and fast you will scarcely get a chance to see him. The reason I predict small and exceedingly peaceful protests is that …
Trucks gone wild
Our rulers’ position is now clear. We should learn to live with terrorism. Unlimited immigration will continue, and it is unthinkable and morally abhorrent to object to anyone in the world moving to America and living on crime, welfare, and voting left. The continued existence of borders and citizenship in a world dominated by progressive ideology is an unprincipled exception. Open-borders absolutists are perfectly correct that there is no coherent …
Defense of capitalism:
Reactionary future criticizes capitalism from the right. Capitalists have power independent of the state. They are apt to use that power politically. Example George Soros. By and large, capitalists overwhelming back the left. But, if they back the left, they are sucking up to power, or like the NGOs, serving the state when the state wants a smidgen of deniabity. For example you cannot see daylight between George Soros in …
Separation of Church and State has failed catastrophically.
Same problem as anarcho capitalism. The vacuum is apt to be filled. And today it is filled with an official government belief system that daily becomes more extreme, and is enforced more coercively. In retrospect it is clear that in England the demand to disestablish the Anglican Church came from a competing religion, then called Evangelism, descended from Puritanism, which was already most of the way to becoming the state …
Teaching boys to be beta
I was watching “Troy”. And for the first hour it was totally great. The mother of Achilles, who has the power of prophesy, and is believed to be a goddess or something similar, prophesies that if he goes to war with Troy, he will die in that war, but his name will live for a thousand years. This is actually conservative, for Achilles was part of the collapse of Bronze …
How to give effect to Brexit
Supposedly, if the British voted for exit, the government would immediately invoke article 50 – would give notice that Britain was resigning from the EU. That is what the prime Minister told them. Well, the British voted for exit, and surprise, surprise, the government is not invoking article 50. The prime minister lied. What a surprise. Are you surprised? And every day, the most appalling scum, mostly black Muslims from …
George Soros on Brexit
Mixed in amongst the usual lies, were some truths. The “Leave†campaign exploited the deteriorating refugee situation – symbolized by frightening images of thousands of asylum-seekers concentrating in Calais, desperate to enter Britain by any means necessary – to stoke fear of “uncontrolled†immigration from other EU member states. Why the quote marks around “uncontrolled†Soros? Was not that the plan all along – to bring in five hundred million …
