The Republican party is walking dead, in the same way the lamestream media are walking dead. If you look at measures of engagement, the lamestream media have absolutely insignificant engagement compared to the major media figures of the alt right, and major alt media figures who frequently interview major media figures of the alt right. And now the lamestream Republican party is showing similar symptoms. Of course, reactionaries and the …

Musk tweeted: “The far left hates everyone, themselves included!” Now where did you first hear the meme “The left hates everyone, themselves included”? And now everyone is saying it. And people who are repeating Musk are also talking about a far left minority moving into everything and taking over, exercising terrifying power wildly disproportionate to their actual support. They are saying “paper tiger”. What happened to the Canadian trucker protesters …
Money has functions four
A medium, a measure, a standard, a store. 1. Medium of exchange The US centered financial system has become less and less functional for exchange, with international bank transfers becoming ever more dangerous and difficult. Cutting Russia out of SWIFT was a huge additional blow to this functionality. Countries now need to keep some foreign reserves in the Yuan or the Ruble, in order to enable transactions, and are starting …
Hodling time
As investment advice, this post represents rumor, speculation, and incomplete information. Keep an eye on the bad weather I speak of, and make your own judgment about the storm. I have lost a great deal of money, and made a great deal of money. Future performance may not reflect past performance. I am long on land, stocks, and crypto currency. Will soon no longer be long on stocks. We are …
The trans cult
First they overlook evil, then they permit evil, then they legalize evil, then they promote evil, then they celebrate evil, then they persecute anyone who still calls it evil. You pretended they were your equal, only to be promptly informed that they were your superior, which superiority is backed by the fist of the state and the officially unofficial state religion shouted at you from every rooftop. We feel helpless, …
Sanctions and crypto currency
For a long time it has been becoming more and more difficult and dangerous to perform international transactions in fiat money. It has suddenly become a lot more difficult and dangerous. Crypto currency is replacing fiat currency. The breakdown of trust and trustworthiness means that there is no alternative. That is why crypto currency scaling problems are now biting hard, and will soon be biting a great deal harder. Bankers …
Russia halted in the Ukraine.
This is not exactly defeat – Russia has grabbed a lot Russian speaking Ukraine territory, and has connected the Crimea to Russia by land. It has also inflicted huge costs on the GAE, the Global American Empire, or rather it has provoked the Global American Empire into inflicting huge costs on itself. You may have heard that the Russian financial system is in chaos. Nope. The Russian financial system is …
War and the gay parade
His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has given a sermon that reduced numerous officially unofficial mouthpieces of the Global American Empire’s officially unofficial state religion to incoherent rage. The war in the Ukraine is a holy war – not because Putin is holy, but because the unofficially official state religion that seeks to rule the world is unholy. The proximate cause of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was …
Current events
This blog does not normally report, nor pay much attention to, current events, except as they illustrate the long sweep of history. But, there is a bunch of stuff happening now. Four demons doing a weak-ass imitation of the the four horsemen of the apocalypse are on their way. First and foremost for me is that the heat on crypto currency is going up, and it looks like the blood …
sudden swerve in the path to the left singularity
The Cathedral has abandoned the Awesome and Mighty Covid Demon narrative, and the innocent peaceable dark skinned joggers capriciously attacked by white predators for no apparent reason narrative, in favor of the universal support for war against Russia narrative. You think censorship has eased? The internet connections with Russia are being cut. A precondition for war with Russia is getting enough people to be inside the war bubble. YouTube is …
