Draining the Swamp

Trump made three big promises. To bring the jobs back, to build the wall, and to drain the swamp.

Bringing the jobs back was effective almost immediately. He reversed a bunch of Obama presidential orders that had shutdown coal fields, oil wells, and pipelines, or prevented new ones from opening, and they immediately opened and started hiring at the stroke of his pen. Overnight, or rather over three months, America ceased to be a major energy importer and became a major energy exporter. It was a radical and abrupt turnaround. Bringing back the factories took a little longer than reopening the mines, because they can move a factory to China, but they cannot move a mine to China, but the factories have come back and are continuing to return. Instead of the great centralization, we now have the great decentralization, with white males moving back into flyover country.

Building the wall took longer, but now its going up, and a mighty impressive wall it is.

It is depressingly late, and a good deal later than I expected and predicted, but it is very much the wall he promised at election rallies.

Very shortly after Trump was elected, he took action against legal immigration by a multitude of presidential orders. I heard great screams of pain from employers importing H1Bs, and much whining from dot Indian chicks that I talked to the airport. Lately the Dems have acknowledged what is happening and joined in the whining, though it goes against their narrative “weak, weak, weak, weaker, weaker, weaker”.

And now, finally, draining the swamp:

The biggest and most important swamp draining operation was not investigating Democratic Party corruption, but rescuing warriors under attack by the most holy priesthood of Obama appointees in the military, who were seeking to break up the bands of brothers that so frightened them. The cucks in top military brass were and are after Eddie Gallagher because he was a right wing Christian. The prosecution kept changing its mind about what war crimes he had committed. When one war crime did not work, they would come up with another. When war crimes did not work, their reaction was the same as when Mueller found that the Russians were probably the only foreign power that did not interfere in the 2016 US election. They wanted to get him on something, anything, everything. The pursuit of Gallagher was priests getting antsi because they smelled a warrior priest, a paladin, of an enemy religion. If one thing did not work, they would try another thing. I don’t care whether Gallagher was guilty of war crimes, and as the case dragged on, it became increasingly obvious that the prosecution cared even less than I do.

Trump cannot drain the Democratic party swamp unless he has a military that will back him against a color revolution. The Democrats are planning to react to arrest of Democrats with the arrest of Republicans. In the Eric Ciaramella testimony, the Democrats were feeling out how much backing they have in the Department of Defense for color revolution, and the answer was, quite a lot. Impeachment can only work if they first arrest the president, his family, assorted members of his administration, and then threaten to arrest, or actually arrest, enough Republicans in the Senate – color revolution. The soldiers will only obey orders to enforce the constitution against color revolution if they think Trump has their back, and is able to have their back.

But now, finally, at long last, at long long last, the much promised, much delayed, swamp draining operation against the Democrats:

WASHINGTON, DC 20510
November 15, 2019

The Honorable Ken A. Blanco
Director
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Department of Treasury
Dear Director Blanco:

The Senate Finance Committee and Homeland Security and Govemmental Affairs Committee are conducting an investigation into potentially improper actions by the Obama administration with respect to Burisma Holdings (Btuisma) and Ukraine. As discussed in our November 6, 2019, letter to the State Department, while then-Vice President Biden was in office, his son, Hunter, worked for Burisma and “would be paid as much as $50,000 per month.” At the time, Burisma and its owner were under investigation by Ukraine and U.K. authorities. According to a report, in 2016, then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless the Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating Burisma was fired, which he eventually was. In addition, Burisma’s consulting firm, Blue Star Strategies, used Hunter Biden’s board membership to gain access to Obama administration officials at the State Department and potentially influence matters before government of?cials on behalf of Burisma. The Committees have jurisdiction over the taxpayer-funded operations of the State Department and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

To assist the Committees in the examination of these matters, we are requesting a copy of all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and related documents that have been filed regarding the following individuals or entities:
. Hunter Biden;
. Devon Archer;
. Christopher Heinz;
. Karen Tramontano;
. Sally Painter;
. Burisma Holdings;
. Rosemont Seneca Partners;
. Rosemont Seneca Bohai LLC;
. Rosemont Capital;
. Bohai Harvest RST; and
. Blue Star Strategies.

Please provide these documents no later than December 5, 2019. Thank you for your prompt attention.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Grassley
Chairman Committee on Finance

Ron Johnson
Chairman Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

In two weeks, Horowitz releases the report on illegal spying on the Trump campaign.

OK, swamp not being drained yet. And the barbed wire entanglements along the border in the 2018 election were not a wall either. But they were an indication of the will and capability to build a wall. Firing the Secretary of the Navy was an indication of the will and capability to resist color revolution, and ordering production of documents is a indication of intent to do something with those documents.

    Why was the public announcement of investigation into the Bidens by Ukraine important to Trump? If the goal was to eventually get enough evidence for an arrest, why give them a heads-up with the public announcement?

    • The Cominator says:

      It was never per se about Biden who absolutely will not be the nominee (and if he were Trump would have zero trouble beating him), it was to bait the Democrats into a fight they couldn’t win on unfavorable ground (trying to impeach Trump for investigating Democrat corruption).

      Trump and his people knew this glownigger Eric whathisname was a spy and they gave him a “marked card” with a self destruct device on it.

    Lightbulb Why Sexual Morality May be Far More Important than You Ever Thought
    https://frjohnpeck.com/why-sexual-mo…-ever-thought/

    Unwin examines the data from 86 societies and civilizations to see if there is a relationship between sexual freedom and the flourishing of cultures. What makes the book especially interesting is that we in the West underwent a sexual revolution in the late 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s and are now in a position to test the conclusions he arrived at more than 40 years earlier.

    So what did he find?

    I have prepared a 26-page collection of quotes from his book that summarize his findings; but even that would leave you with a significant under-appreciation of the rigour and fascinating details revealed in data from 86 cultures. Here are a few of his most significant findings:

    Effect of sexual constraints: Increased sexual constraints, either pre or post-nuptial, always led to increased flourishing of a culture. Conversely, increased sexual freedom always led to the collapse of a culture three generations later.

    Single most influential factor: Surprisingly, the data revealed that the single most important correlation with the flourishing of a culture was whether pre-nuptial chastity was required or not. It had a very significant effect either way.

    Highest flourishing of culture: The most powerful combination was pre-nuptial chastity coupled with “absolute monogamy”. Rationalist cultures that retained this combination for at least three generations exceeded all other cultures in every area, including literature, art, science, furniture, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Only three out of the eighty-six cultures studied ever attained this level.

    Effect of abandoning prenuptial chastity: When strict prenuptial chastity was no longer the norm, absolute monogamy, deism, and rational thinking also disappeared within three generations.

    Total sexual freedom: If total sexual freedom was embraced by a culture, that culture collapsed within three generations to the lowest state of flourishing — which Unwin describes as “inert” and at a “dead level of conception” and is characterized by people who have little interest in much else other than their own wants and needs. At this level, the culture is usually conquered or taken over by another culture with greater social energy.

    Time lag: If there is a change in sexual constraints, either increased or decreased restraints, the full effect of that change is not realized until the third generation. (Note: I’ve added a clarifying footnote at the end of this article. See footnote #13)

    • The Cominator says:

      Why gender neutral language?

      • Theshadowedknight says:

        It was published in 1936. Presumably the author was relying on the cultural assumptions of the day that control of women was more important than the control of men. Consider that he defines his marriage categories on whether or not women can leave men, without considering men putting aside women, knowing that it isn’t a relevant problem. Then, of course, it looks to have been filtered through both Catholics and lolberterians before it was posted here, so there is some transmission decay occurring.

      • jim says:

        That was the problem with Unwin. He had gendered data, but insisted on giving it a gender neutral interpretation.

    • Encelad says:

      Are there any instances in history where the social control on women was successfully regained by the same society, or were they all conquered by outsiders?

      • BC says:

        The eastern Roman empire did it with the adoption of Christianity.

      • jim says:

        Japanese. Long period of anarchy. When they went into anarchy, women were empowered and elite fertility was alarmingly low. When they came out of anarchy, women were absolutely property of the head of family, and elite fertility was high.

        • Niiiidriveevof says:

          Which periods? Empowered = Sengoku, property = Tokugawa?

          • The Cominator says:

            Japan was misruled by the Emperor’s court priest from the 800s till i think the 1100s, when their central authority collapsed it became a feudal society dominated by the warrior samurai, the collapse of priestly authority in favor of warrior authority was also the downfall of women. So i think their status fell with the Gempgin war not the Sengoku period.

      • Encelad says:

        Thank you for the white pill. (I misplaced this same comment somewhere, sorry.)

    • jim says:

      We here are all familiar with Unwin’s work.

      His error is to interpret the restraint that works as symmetric, that sexually frustrated men build civilizations. But his data does not support that interpretation.

      Greek greatness was exemplified by Xenophon’s ten thousand, who impregnated every concave surface as they fought their way across Asia.

      Rather, men with faithful and obedient wives build civilizations.

      Men build civilization for their grandchildren.

      • Not Tom says:

        I’d heard his name before, but wasn’t familiar with his work, and the waffling on sexes was the first thing I noticed in that summary that’s been making the rounds. “Sexual constraints”, “pre-nuptial chastity”, etc. It’s bizarrely out of place.

        Shows that even in the 1930s, they couldn’t really tell the truth about women. The truth now scientifically confirmed that intercourse (or maybe just insemination) leaves some sort of genetic residue on women, and that every sexual partner a woman has past one reduces the chance of a stable marriage by some hideous amount, like 30 or 40%, and that if the same effect can be found at all in men then it is attenuated by a factor of 10 or more. It’s a female problem, not a premarital sex problem.

        The underlying biological “code” may have a singular and specific purpose (certainty of paternity), but when you actually look at the “implementation”, it turns out that several other apparently-unrelated systems all depend on this assumption. Thus even if you take away the paternity problem, such as with birth control or DNA tests, the system still ends up totally broken if you take away the conditions that ancient humans would have relied on.

        • BC says:

          It’s the ability to bond that goes down. It’s probably some sort of chemical resistance that builds with more sexual partners.

  4. BC says:

    So Lindsey Graham is planning on not having a trial in the senate and just vote down impeachment right away to avoid having expose the swamp. That might derail Trump’s attempt to expose the swamp. I suspect it won’t work, but I’m not sure why.

    • jim says:

      That would be, not a disaster, but open disloyalty to Trump, who on twitter has called for a full on trial in the Senate.

      It looks to me like an attempt to avoid the outcome that the 2020 election is held with one side or the other incommunicado in prison.

      Which outcome is going to be hard to avoid. He is trying to have a compromise between left and the right to enable the Republic to seemingly continue, but the left is too factional to be capable of compromise.

      In the unlikely event that they manage to have a normal election in 2020, the same forces that made it hard to hold a normal election in 2020 are going to make it even harder to hold a normal election every year thereafter.

        Trying to make a deal with the left at this point rather then trying to win and destroy the left should be viewed as treason.

    • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

      He can only stop it by coming to Jesus, i.e., bringing a large group of similarly at-risk Uniparty slaves to privately and secretly abase themselves before Trump and convincingly transfer permanent ownership to their new master. This would be the moment Trump effectively becomes Holy American Emperor, and in exchange he would agree to not declassify relevant documents.

      If impeachment is stopped without trial in the Senate, two things can happen. The House could re-impeach using proper procedure (allowing Trump to have lawyers, witnesses and full subpoena power). This would expose some of the of malfeasance that would have come out in a Senate trial, and remove Graham’s pretext for blocking a trial should it get that far the second time around. Or, the House could drop the Ukraine/Russia matter and return their attention to Trump’s finances, tax returns, marital infidelities and unpaid parking tickets. At that point, Trump will be all-powerful and in a mood for revenge, which means he will return *his* attention to declassification of documents. That would have the same effect as a Senate trial and then some.

      • BC says:

        and in exchange he would agree to not declassify relevant documents.

        The problem with this idea is the media knows all about this corruption it’s not really hidden. If the GOP exposes the Dems, the Media will expose the GOP.

        If impeachment is stopped without trial in the Senate, two things can happen.

        I think it’s more likely they use it a pretext to launch a color revolution against the Senate for failing to hold a proper trial, where the GOP Senators will end up arrested or Trump will protect them and the Dem Senators will end up arrested.

        Trump of course can just dump the corruption info any time he wants negating the Senates reluctance to hold a trial and trigger the Media dumping all the info on the GOP. Like I said, it’s very hard to tell what will happen.

        I think Jim is right that they want to make a deal with the left, but they don’t hold any cards that can stop Trump and the Dems are not going to be able to make a deal. They’re between a rock and a hard place and what happens next isn’t clear.

        • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

          Color revolution only works when it’s against Trump. Going after the Senate is a Rubicon crossing, an unmistakable and irrevocable declaration that deposing Trump was a fig leaf and reality is that Democrats will never again accept Republican power over any branch of government, no matter what mere elections might say. They’ve been signaling it with the Supreme Court, the Electoral College and population replacement but have not openly rejected the forms of democracy. Regardless of how the Senate would react to color revolution, broadcasting it 24/7 on MSM would be the signal that quickly starts the civil war.

          Which is not to say they wouldn’t do it.

          • jim says:

            War approaches. Still not forecasting war before 2026, but as war approaches, Rubicons eventually get crossed.

            • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

              The first stream crossing is today, when Nadler will openly disregard his own recently voted House rules rather than allow Doug Collins to have those rules enforced. This only violates a rule and not a law, but it’s a significant advance toward war.

              • jim says:

                Rules and laws are going overboard faster and faster. The holiness spiral has now resulted in a lawlessness spiral. Extrapolating, we will reach a situation where political struggles are conducted with no rules and no limits in the quite near future.

                Colins to Nadler:

                Minority Members “shall be entitled to . . . call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon.”

                The uniparty is dumping its Republican wing, so henceforth the only employment opportunity available to Republicans is to sign on with Trump.

                Meanwhile the Democratic party prepares to shrug off the older, whiter, and smarter Democrats. Nancy Pelosi is about to be devoured by the tiger she is riding.

                At the same time, they are stalling a vote to pass impeachment to the Senate, indicating that the head recount for color revolution is not looking nearly as good as it did a short while ago.

                I conjecture that they did a head count of the top brass who assured them that it would be unthinkably improper to obey a presidential order to protect Republicans against political arrest under color of law, then the top brass did a head count of praetorians who suggested that failure to obey a plausibly legal order from the commander in chief might “undermine the discipline and unity of the armed forces”.

                • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

                  Collins is also citing a last-minute document dump on the Republican committee members as a reason delay is required.

                  If either procedural point is allowed or debated in the morning hearing Nadler will be racing against the IG report in real time.

                  The Ukraine thing seems to terrify them even more than IG. We are due for the next step of the Michael Cohen – Paul Manafort script, in which Giuliani is arrested or indicted.

                • jim says:

                  If they can get away with arresting people near the president for the offense of obeying the president, then the president is effectively removed from office, color revolution is successful, and Trump will be impeached.

Maybe Horowitz was an honest investigator, or maybe the corruption was so enormous he could not possibly hide all of it. Either way, the report fills in many details.

                  A good sign is that it’s easy to notice top level negative conclusions when scrolling through it, instead of all the bombshells being strategically buried deep in obscure sections. Though the Clinesmith email alteration, the biggest smoking gun so far, does seem buried, Twitter is quoting only one sentence from the report about it.

                • jim says:

                  A graywash is what is to be expected, given inability to compel testimony or documents. But it is a step towards getting the ability to compel testimony and documents.

                  Among other things being extracted in the first few hours, the report directly or combined with other sources shows Strzok lied to IG, Brennan lied to Congress, Flynn was even more railroaded than we knew, Steele was a paid fabulist and his dossier the sole support for FISA on Trump campaign.

                  Huge weapon for Trump against the MSM even without further investigations and arrests.

                • jim says:

                  The core of this is that Flynn was railroaded.

                  Why was Flynn railroaded?

                  To pressure him to railroad Trump.

                  Which shows what we already knew – that the Mueller investigation was, like Mueller’s entire career, a criminal enterprise deserving of death for treason, and, if we do not prosecute treason these days because treason prospers, a lengthy sentence for perverting the course of justice.

                  The official story is that Mueller investigated Flynn to find real crimes, which would be used to pressure Flynn to report Trump’s real crimes. But if he was framing Flynn, he was trying to force Flynn to participate in framing Trump.

                • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

                  > Why was Flynn railroaded? To pressure him to railroad Trump.

                  The report proves this and more, without writing out the words.

                  1. IG revealed the FBI investigation was started as an open-ended investigation of all things Trumpish, then within a few days decided on 4 targets, Flynn, Manafort, Papadopoulos and Page. Presumably they just generated a list such as “anyone in Trumpworld ever reported to have done anything in a foreign country”, and prioritized the ones closest to Trump (F, M) or most clearly foreign-involved (P, M who were 2 of about 4-5 total foreign policy advisors to the campaign).

                  2. Very notably, that’s the total opposite of the MSM reports and narrative that 4 independent events occured: F, M, Pap, Page all separately met some standard of investigability, i.e., that Trump was surrounded by sketchy Russia cutouts and as a result of that his campaign appeared on FBI radar by totally natural processes.

                  3. All targets got the two-hop FISA warrant (Page, 4 times) or were strongarmed on irrelevant bogus charges by Mueller (Papadopoulos, Manafort, Flynn). There is no point to either tactic except to find or coerce dirt on associates closer to Trump, and keep doing that (20 prosecutions) until Trump is fingered or dirtied.

                  So it’s not that Flynn was railroaded, it’s that everyone associated with Trump who could conceivably be railroaded so as to get Trump, was railroaded. IG has just documented that this wasn’t just the obvious interpretation of the McCabe-Mueller investigations but the actual process the FBI followed.

    • BC says:

      Jim believes it’s mostly sociological and that those sort of chemicals are a minor factor compared to men not being allowed to act in a manly fashion. The body increases testosterone when men do manly things and decrease when men lose and men are always losing in the west.

        I’m sure your right. But the ideas expressed are pretty fudging dumb.

        • jim says:

          It is well known and thoroughly proven that acting manly raises testosterone and acting unmanly lowers testosterone. And acting manly is now severely discouraged, and acting manly on almost anything that matters flat out illegal.

          In particular, lying and acting dishonorably lowers testosterone a lot, and it is now required to lie on an ever growing list of matters.

          Inability to notice characteristically female misconduct in the workplace is surely having a severe effect on the testosterone of all white male employees.

    • Jan Martense says:

      It goes to show the danger of a decentralized and “interpretative” law system. When any priesthood starts making decisions based on the “spirit” of the law rather than logically building off a set of precepts, you might as well not have any law at all. This is why “constitutional originalism” sometimes gets things right and is often a useful concept even though the actual constitution is a shit document written by a bunch of radical left-wing revolutionaries: ANY law is better than no law, and forcing people to follow some legal formula reduces arbitrariness despite the stupidity of the system itself.

        What suggestions would you give to these fellows?

        I think we all accept now that there’s no “going back to normal“, but how to find a new normal that doesn’t involve such violence and risk as we today expect?

          The Republic is going to die and there will be SOME violence involved in this. We are Rome after the Gracchi and this just cannot be avoided.

          The best and at this point the most likely case for the Republic’s death is a far left chimpout in the spring following Trump’s reelection (and likely Democrat loss of the house) with Trump assuming Lincolnian powers to suppress the leftist urban revolts. Following this Trump “lays down” some of his powers but gets something like the Augustan settlement..

          There are no other scenarios I can imagine that don’t involve really extreme violence destroyed cities and death tolls in at least the millions. If deep staters are reading this and want to minimize violence better get on the Trump train.

          It is a collective action problem. You cannot stop the train unless you have a leader – an alarmingly powerful leader.

          If you don’t like the train that is headed over a cliff, got to get on another train. Right now the Trump Train is the only one that is going.

          And if the Trump Train halts the left singularity, it has to arrest its political opponents – the Democrats, accustomed to the impunity of power, have done plenty that he can arrest them for without openly throwing the Republic overboard. As Trump said, if you can send people to jail for years for lying, not many Democrats left.

          It looks like we are going into the 2020 election with one side or the other side in jail. If it is the Republican side in jail, getting rid of Republicans will only be the beginning. If it is the Democratic side in jail, a return to near normality (the Republic being dead while everyone pretends it is alive being normal)

          We are seeing unprecedented levels of Republican unity. Maybe the meeting you imagine has taken place.

          Right now, color revolution is mysteriously stalling, and prosecution of Democratic party criminal activity is mysteriously stalling, but the inevitable logic of war means that they are unlikely to stall indefinitely. Either Trump arrests the Democrats, or the Democrats arrest Trump.

          If the meeting you imagine has taken place, the arrest of Democrats will go down smoothly, except that the Democrats that were at the meeting will mysteriously remain un-arrested. But being lefter than thou will suddenly become a very bad career move and a very bad business move. Sufficient will be arrested to get the rest to lay low.

          The Cominator argues that after such a mild mannered purge, they will re-emerge after Trump dies. That to get them permanently off our backs, need a Sulla or a Suharto.

If we enforce Saint Paul’s prescription for the priesthood (male, married, fertile, with well behaved children), plus King Charles the Second’s prescription for the priesthood (have to swear to a set of articles intended to exclude apostates and heretics) a mild mannered purge will suffice.

          At the time of Saint Paul, Christianity was out of power and persecuted, so he did not have to worry about the problem of apostate and heretic entryist groups.

          Christianity had already been entered by gnostic entryists at the time of Saint Paul, but they are never a significant problem, because gnostics are not very good at cooperating with gnostics. You only have to worry about entryist groups that manage to cooperate with each other while intending to defect on you. Gnostics, like Satanists, defect on everyone. The Spanish inquisition looked very hard for entryists, found that Gnostics and Satanists were not a problem.

Instead of the Czar being the found of all honors, mortal and divine, the Czar was competing with everyone else for status in the eyes of foreigners. Which results in Alexander the liberator “freeing” the serfs into collective land ownership. Which of course did not work, with the result that the left continually doubled down on it.

                  I read a book written by Mao’s doctor where Mao appeared to be a true believer in the great leap forward where peasants melted down their pots and pans in back yard furnaces. Later when it was clearly failing he went to visit a Japanese steal plant in Manchuria. Never changed is position despite having seen how steel was really made. That’s a mark of a true believer.

                  Nor did Mao east up on collectivized farming when it was clear that it was failing and millions were dying. One of the first things that happened after Mao lost power was sharecropping with local farmers instead of collectivization.

                  Mao always wanted to be lefter then thou to avoid EVER being purged by someone claiming superior holiness. He had Lin Biao killed for that reason because Lin Biao was always lefter then thou with everyone too.

                  Nah, this was true communism. Any progressive will tell you that what Stalin was doing was not true communism.

                  If the labor theory of value is true, then backyard furnaces are not ludicrous, for the labor of peasants is sufficient to create equivalent value. If backyard furnaces are ludicrous, then the labor theory of value is ludicrous.

                  Stalin backed off from the holiness spiral, and caught massive flack, and continues to catch massive flack and indignant outrage to this day, for so doing.

                  When Stalin told Mao it was ludicrous, he was telling Mao that communism was ludicrous.

                  Anyone who says he is against Stalinism, supports a purer and higher communism. I am not against Stalinism. Stalin was Russia’s Cromwell. He saved Russia from going full on Mao and full on Pol Pot.

                  If Stalin had made Beria into General Monck, giving Beria his own praetorians as Cromwell gave General Monck his own praetorians, then Russia would have been restored to normality following his death, as England was restored to normality when Cromwell died, and Russia would today be a great power.

                  I am against Communism. What was wrong with Stalin is that he was still a communist, and what was wrong with Cromwell is that he was still a Puritan. Cromwell was a hero because he saved England. Stalin failed to save Russia, because he failed to give Beria what Beria needed.

                  Mao ordered the peasants to make steel in backyard furnaces because he wanted true communism more than he wanted steel. If he had been a cynic, would have done what Stalin did: Hired experts from western steel making companies, and given them charge of a bunch of peasants to operate existing steel making furnaces, and build new ones. (Stalin found that the people who had formerly made steel in Russia were all dead or in exile, and that without them the proles could not make steel, so had to import foreign managers to re-open the steel making furnaces.)

                  When Stalin told Mao that backyard furnaces were ludicrous, he was telling Mao that labor is not value – he was committing fundamental heresy against Marxism. The implication of that is that the proles do not create value – their labor is an input to the people who do create value, that in capitalism, value is created by capitalists.

                  In the older, and still existing, form of capitalism, wealthy members of the merchant class create value for the market using inputs from the market, other people’s labor, and their own capital.

                  In corporate capitalism, introduced by King Charles the Second immediately after the restoration, value is also created by entrepreneurs, members of the merchant class who create value for the market using inputs from the market, other people’s labor, and other people’s capital.

                  Wind farms are not built to turn wind into power, but to turn wind into holiness, with the unsurprising result that in practice, very little useful power is produced. And Mao’s backyard furnaces were not built to turn the labor of peasants into steel, but the labor of peasants into holiness.

                  There is no way they can impeach Trump until they are in the position to arrest, or threaten to arrest large numbers of Senate Republicans, and they are not in the position to arrest large numbers of Senate Republicans until they first arrest Trump, his family, and leading members of his administration.

                  Color revolution has to come before impeachment. At the hearings they were counting up the top military brass, to see who is on board with color revolution. They do in fact have the numbers in the top brass, if the hearings are a reliable indicator, but I suspect Trump has the numbers in the praetorians.

                  When push comes to shove, the top brass is going to start wondering about the praetorians.

                  In Chile, the junior officers informed Pinochet the coup was about to roll only a few hours before it rolled, and asked him to sign on. He declined, whereupon they advised him that failure to sign on would “undermine the discipline and unity of the armed forces”, which I interpret as “sign or die”. He signed and then disappeared until the dust settled.

                  A similar event is likely to follow color revolution. Trump will order the military to secure himself, his administration, and the Senate republicans against arrest under color of law. The top brass will decline, wherupon the junior officers will advise them that failure to follow the orders of the commander in chief would “undermine the discipline and unity of the armed forces”. They will issue Trump’s orders, then disappear until the dust settles.

                  The impeachment in the senate will then proceed with praetorians personally loyal to Trump guarding the senate and maintaining order during the proceedings.

                  The shit hits the fan after they pass impeachment to the Senate, when impeachment proceedings start in the senate, and Trump starts calling witnesses.

                  Right now they have not yet passed impeachment to the Senate, because they are still recounting heads in the top brass, and the top brass wants to first count heads in the praetorians.

                  I foresee a substantial unforeseen delay in passing impeachment to the Senate.

                  If we see a substantial unforeseen delay, this will indicate panic in the top brass.

                  If impeachment hangs around in the House for over a week or two, this will indicate that there was a massive outbreak of second thoughts in the top brass after the impeachment committee passed the impeachment to the House.

                  The formal aspects of impeachment, in both chambers, are down a delicate chess game involving things like the timing of the upcoming SCOTUS decisions on the subpoenas to Mulvaney et al, i.e. whether the “impeachment inquiry” in Schiff’s committee constitutes a genuine impeachment investigation with (super)judicial powers.

                  In my opinion the key factor, should it look like Senate Republicans (nearly all Uniparty) will try to remove Trump, is whether MAGA folk in the home states make a convincing show of force. That would also embolden the praetorians.

If the 2020 election proceeds with Trump in prison, a Democratic party landslide, as the uniparty drops its Republican facade. If the 2020 election proceeds with Biden and Pelosi in prison, a Trump landslide.

Each of the traitors can be paid a fortune, more than they would “earn” in the normal course of things, from the pool of funds McConnell uses (and has raised extra for just this event) to control his stable of Uniparty voters. It’s a very small prize to pay to remove Trump; just killing the China deal or USMCA makes it easily worth it to the Chamber of Commerce, Wall St and K Street.

                  If color revolution is not on the cards, then not the rational thing to do. That a lot of important people are in fact expecting Trump to be removed, despite unprecedented Republican unity, indicates that those people believe that color revolution is on the cards.

                  Plus, reading between the lines of the testimony, looks like they were fishing to find their support levels among the top military brass, which only makes sense if at least some of them think color revolution is on the cards.

When violence is on the table, the side with unity of command is going to win. Trump needs them to use violence first, which, lacking unity of command, they are likely to do.

                  Trump needs an excuse to have praetorians loyal to himself provide Senate security. Once he has that excuse, it is a smooth ride from there on.

                  Impeachment can succeed with a simple partisan vote in the house. Removal will not succeed. And impeachment without removal will be good for Trump.

                  But I think they will vote to impeach anyway, because the Democratic base is a runaway freight train. Pelosi has tried three times to walk it back and failed each time. The fishing for color revolution support is indeed very real, but it looks like more of a desperate attempt to make lemonade than the originally-intended outcome.

                  That makes sense, and it was certainly true of some of them. But some people are acting as if they think this is going to work. And the only way it can work is through color revolution.

                  That does not necessarily mean that they are going to try it – they are recounting heads, and it seems that the recounts are coming up considerably shorter than the initial counts. But some of them were certainly thinking about trying it, and expecting that it would be tried.

                  What matters is what’s tradeable for leverage. McConnell and his backers have oodles of money, power, status, favors, and everything else traded in Washington, to offer in exchange for votes.

                  The market value of a Senate vote has exploded. Flipping 20 Republican votes is a hard task, and the negotiations will look like Senator Geary in the Godfather, but less pleasant. But if it comes down to tradeables I am confident McConnell has enough of those lined up to get the hit job done.

                  Sundance of CTH thinks Mitch wants to gain leverage against an un-impeached Trump, not actual removal. I think McConnell cannot engineer a conviction in the Senate, not for lack of corruptible votes, but because he would be Godfathered out of existence about a week after the coup succeeds.

The only thing stopping him from doing so is that he wants women who are not an embarrassment in his social circles. That is, he values status over vagina, and increasing his wealth over enjoying it.

                  Bezos aspired to be the ultimate faithful beta provider, like the man who raised him. For all that, he married a tall, smart, attractive 23-year old with great genetics, who bore him three sons and was a good and loyal wife. If he wants to “enter” a different market at this advanced stage of his life he will do so successfully.

                  Epstein had only whores. Whores do not suffice. You not only want to have sex with a woman, you want other people to not have sex with her.

                  Women did not want to sleep with Bezos, and they did not want to sleep with Epstein. But if Epstein could arrange for a prince to bang them, they would bang Epstein to get at the prince.

                  My read on it is that color revolution was supposed to be a prerequisite, or even a substitute, for formal impeachment; the alphabet-soup intelligence wing wants color revolution, and their trusted allies in the Democratic party thought they could engineer a color revolution. However: color revolution is a long-term effort, relatively speaking, and both their party and their base are increasingly made up of people with high time preference and uncontrollable, impotent, sputtering rage.

                  Because of the rage heads, impeachment circus is firing on all cylinders, polarizing the moderates, and probably inducing even many potential backers of a color revolution to go “screw it, I’m out, you guys are too incompetent to pull this off”.

                  You are no doubt right about them wanting to intimidate or arrest a bunch of Republican senators – but here again, I think they’ve lost the capability to act rationally, and instead of very carefully-controlled and managed leaks to the New York Times from “U.S. Officials”, we have ham-fisted stunts like Schiff publishing the private phone records of Nunes and John Solomon. Let me say that again: he leaked, without anonymity, the private details of a journalist. He attacked a member in good standing of the same priesthood they depend on.

                  The script is color revolution, but the party is way off-script. They started flubbing their lines about a month ago and at this point are just ad-libbing. And these guys are not good at improv.

                  It looks to me like she is tall and slim with a nice figure, arms and legs quite good for her age (49yo + 3 kids); the search engine recommended “mackenzie bezos legs”. On the downside, chipmunk facial features (don’t smile in the photos, lady!), seems high-T and prone to workouts that might mask her natural looks a bit.

                  In the case of Bezos, I’d wage a finger that he cheated because the sex life with the wife was non-existent -lots of ‘headaches’, no doubt- and he started looking elsewhere to fulfill his needs. Which for her was the straw that broke the camel’s back; no doubt her divorce-lawyer salivated when he heard that there were pics and texts.

They clumsily break into the Democratic office and almost certainly report themselves to the press (directly or through a cutout). Nixon saw the Cathedral and either couldn’t stop it or didn’t anticipate how it would spin its own actions to condemn him. Controlling the press is a powerful thing when there’s no alternative communication channel to allow coordination. How could you organize large scale cooperation back then without it?

In less than a year, this former FSO told me, the group has accumulated over 1,000 members. In the two months since the impeachment inquiry began and Trump started smearing career FSOs like Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and Jennifer Williams, more foreign service officers have begun looking for an exit. Another 100 FSOs have requested to join the Facebook group since the impeachment proceedings began, the source told me, asking other group members to help them dust off their résumés or meet them for informational interviews.”

      They have had zero success in recent years at tunnel digging, because the Israeli wall, like Trump’s wall, has ground sensors to detect the ground noise of tunnel digging. You dig a tunnel, you have to break rock, or at least break stuff that is pretty hard. Breaking rock creates a lot of sound in the rock that it is connected to, so is extremely loud to a noise sensor that is connected to rock, rather than to the air. If you are digging through dirt, this muffles the sound a fair bit, but it still loud enough. One sensor cannot tell a rock cracking in one place from a rock cracking in another place, but you have multiple sensors located some distance apart, they can exactly locate where a particular rock in the ground cracked. It takes three sensors hearing the sound of a break to exactly locate the exact position where that particular rock was broken.

      Even if someone is digging in soft dirt, as soon as he uses a pickax, the sound is quite audible for a very long way if you have your ear on the ground. You hear the sound of whatever is being broken by the pickax breaking.

      To be precise, two sensors will identify the location of the snap to one of two possible positions, and a third sensor will locate it to one position.

      As for protectionism, Trump never promised protectionism, and his voters never expected protectionism. They expected he would make trade deals that were more favorable to the US, and less favorable to all those nations paying off Obama and Biden. But because China is dragging its feet on trade deal, Trump has engaged in protectionism – raising tariffs substantially on Chinese goods, which is resulting in factories coming home – quite a lot of factories coming home, resulting in the great decentralization, as working class whites head back into flyover country to work in those factories.

      When the Chinese make the deal that Trump promised his voters, Trump will, as promised, dismantle that protectionism. At every rally he tells his voters about the tariffs, tells them that the tariffs are a temporary measure pending a trade deal, and that after to 2020 elections, the Chinese, seeing him still in power, will be more highly motivated to make the much promised, much delayed, deal.

                The border patrol’s job is illegal immigration, and they are one hundred percent effective at their job, now that the lawyers and judges have been forced to get out of the way – doubtless those two gay CNN reporters thought that they were legal immigration, but they got a big surprise.

        • Trump is giving Kushner a job he does not want to do, a job that if he does, will alienate him forever from the Left.

          “The guy who betrayed Trump and saved America” would go down as a hero. A constant temptation for Ivanka and Kush. Trump is forcing Kushner to ingroup with Trumpism, because building the wall will make him a nazi to the Left.

          If Kushner does not get the wall done, Trump has an excuse to fire him. Trump fires everyone who does not perform. If Kushner builds the wall, Trump wins. If Kushner fails, Trump rids himself of a snake. It’s very smart of him. He is playing politics the way a King plays politics with truculent and potentially rebellious aristocrats. It’s very encouraging.

                Ivanka with her lingering fashionable Manhattan liberal feminist beliefs (I don’t know how much they still linger in the face of the fact that she must understand at this point that the left wants to murder her entire family) is far more a weak point then her husband Kushner, Kushner did a great job with draining the swamp in Saudi Arabia and actually bringing some sense of tranquility to the Middle East and Trump’s seeming great confidence in him seems well justified. He’s also according to Scott Adams has been Trump’s general right hand man throughout the Presidency. Hes been effective, loyal, by all accounts hardworking and spills no secrets and seeks no glory.

                People did not like Kushner because he apparently was extremely skeptical of Bannon, but it turned out that as much as hurts for us that Kushner was right Bannon was passing information to the enemy.

                Trump’s two inner circle jews Kushner and Miller have probably been his most effective and loyal servants.

                  If you mean why is she rarely mentioned here, it’s probably because:

                  (a) Ivanka is boring. Typical Manhattan shitlib with typical Manhattan shitlib ideas.

                  (b) Women are boring. Their mating behavior is interesting, of course, but in terms of politics they contribute nothing.

                  (c) Her “hold” on Trump is probably far less than people believe. Her behavior informs him how the typical shitlib thinks on an issue, but if you look at e.g. Syria, where the retard right thought she had complete control over him, it turned out that he made exactly the right moves at exactly the right times.

                  She is a convenient scapegoat, and he probably does give her a lot more leash than she deserves, but I estimate her real-world impact on the President to be .00001% of the impact of the Cathedral in general.

                  Yes I think Trump uses her to gauge how shitlibs and women think on things but its clear he doesn’t listen to her on policy and even her husband doesn’t listen to her on policy.

                  Pressure came down from above to ignore Muslim terrorism even if it got in their faces, and find white male Christian terrorism regardless of whether it existed or not.

                  Predictably this blew up in their faces, and it has been blowing up in their faces repeatedly, as for example the Fort Hood massacre. And every time it blows up in their faces, their shills issue a smoke screen to hide what happened and who is to blame.

                  You can tell that they are FBI shills whenever the subject of the FBI or Mueller comes up. Troofers are in chain of command which until recently had Mueller at the top. For Troofers, trying to talk to them about the FBI, or even the Mueller investigation into Trump, reveals who they work for, just trying to talk to them about women reveals that they are shills working for somebody.

                  Mueller probably isn’t personally writing the troofer materials or training the shills, but it’s better for everyone if you think of all those individuals as faceless bureaucrats.

Line after line is a glorious reminder of why Trump won the election.

      – Trump, says Anonymous, is monomaniacally obsessed with trade war against China but doesn’t care at all about human rights violations or Hong Kong.

Michael Flynn, whom Anon dismisses as an “intelligence community dropout”, reinforced this by stating that Trump was right, it was all “total bullshit”.

But said he actually read some of our past trade deals and that is how he knew how bad they were for us and given that whatever he did on trade seemed to work I think Trump was probably telling the truth.

            Trump seems primarily visually, not verbally, oriented. As are a disproportion of engineers, quantitative scientists, men, and athletes.
            He watches television with an eagle eye and coins memorable visual metaphors: Alfred E Neuman (Buttigieg), pencil-neck Schiff. When he talks he keeps it simple and tends to race ahead of himself in preference to finishing sentences. That’s a sign his thought processes are faster than his verbalization. You can see in live combative back-and-forth that few others in public life have faster or better instincts.

            I suspect that like most antiverbal hyperactive male nerds, Trump prefers to read condensed nonfiction with functional content, such as contracts or (in other professions) manuals or code. He has said in interviews that in business he spent a lot of time reading contracts.

            The media-political-academic priestly caste selects for the opposite, verbal predominance and anal bulldozing, hence the superabundance of lawyers as well as the delusional conviction that Trump is stupid. It’s not genuine conviction, it’s an attempt to convince themselves by repetition of something they are desperate to believe. Trump is the most multitalented President in a long, long time and his humiliation of the mandarins gets under their skin like nothing else in our lifetime.

I mean, all the zillion books about WW2 German tanks in my corner of Europe, I imagine they are meant for a rightist audience, and okay they are interesting enough to buy one book about them, but when I see too many of these books all the time I imagine there must be a Wehraboo audience just wanking to them all the time.

  22. RedBible says:

    Not really related to the topic at hand, but I figure that it would be better to post it where some comments/discussion will happen.

    There’s an interesting observation I’ve made in relation to Jim’s ‘statement’ that “9 year old” girls are looking for Mr. Alpha, and to “be forced” to “carry his seed”.
    There are some families I’m friends with that have some “9 year old” girls, and sometimes I play around with them (tossing them, holding them upside, general teasing), since it is amusing to me. The interesting behavior (other than the “9 year old” girls becoming eager for more attention after having played) is what I’m going to call “fake feinting”.
    “Fake feinting” is where the “9 year old” girl relaxes all the major muscles of her body (legs, arms, fingers, neck, etc.) and commonly closes her eyes. The “9 year old” girl only will do it when she is near me (since I haven’t seen “9 year old” girls do it to other men so far), and only if she will fall onto/into me, or I already have a hold on her somewhere. Commonly the girl will keep up the relaxed state for several seconds, but could be longer. Also, sometimes the girl will end up on the floor, but that doesn’t seem to change how long she will stay “relaxed” for.

    Since I’ve seen girls of a variety of personalities and family backgrounds do this, I’m putting it into the AWALT box (as most things with woman/girl end up.)
    So far the only idea I’ve come up with from an evolutionary psychology point of view is that the “9 year old” girl is saying “do with me as you will” with her body (and too be fair, it is much easier to move around a body that is offering 0 resistance.)

    Anyone else got some thought/comments on this? (since this is still feeling sort of confusing to me.)

    • Bob says:

      >Anyone else got some thought/comments on this?

      Two girls in college who were very interested in me would do this to me. Does that mean those 9 year olds are acting on instinctual urges to be dominated by an alpha? Probably. Dominated sexually? The two college girls, for sure, but the 9 yo olds? I’m not so sure. If they were 13 yo or in puberty, then yes. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt, cause I’m new to the redpill.

      I think it’s probably a spectrum like the variance from 6 yo girls’ instinct to care for baby dolls all the way to childless 36 yo women’s yearning when they see an infant. The 6 yo is instinctively practicing behaviors she’s incapable of using at that age, which is probably what the 9 yo’s do with you. The 6 yo is playing at what she’ll try to do later. The 9 yo’s are (inmho) playing with you too, but in a short time won’t be playing at it. Or they’ve begun puberty early and aren’t playing.

      • Omar is just a Trump card now. says:

        As far as I can tell, all girls from an early age engage in behaviors of the “trust fall” type, such as having you catch them when they fall backwards, walking around blindfolded with you leading them by the hand, or fainting and requiring pick-up. They ask adults, almost always male adults, to do this with them as soon as they are verbally and physically developed enough for the games to make sense, around 4-6 in the girls I know since birth.

        Girls young enough to have no concept of sex or masturbation will sit on your lap (which is to say, almost always a male lap) and try to get you to play with them in ways that are patently sexual. Their bodies and sexual systems don’t “wake up” overnight at the onset of puberty, everything is there and maturing slowly from day one, and much later there is a phase transition.

        In the child development / evopsych literature the term “carrying conflict” refers to the zero sum game between parents and children, where children constantly try to prolong the age through which they will be held and carried around by their parents, while the parents get tired out by the carrying and try to wean the child into walking on its own. This game runs for much longer between little girls and their fathers. Maybe it’s just that the fathers are stronger than the mothers, and boys need less affection; but it’s also possible that the state of being physically dependent on Daddy is appealing to the girls, and also creates opportunities for practice in the feminine fitness-test version of the conflict. Personality-wise girls are already their adult selves very early on.

        Pretty much all that children do around each other is a rehearsal for adult courtship and sex. This is completely obvious and in-your-face under direct observation, but draws extremely negative reactions from the children’s parents when it is pointed out. The inability to notice or even conceive of evolutionary proto-sexuality in children who have no conscious understanding of sex is part of our cultural stupefaction (what Jim calls crimestop filtering).

It is sometimes gets rough when all of my knowledge of women comes from 1. random people I’ve never met on the internet 2. observation and 3. trial and error.

So thanks.

          >Pretty much all that children do around each other is a rehearsal for adult courtship and sex.

          It’s pretty crazy how obvious the idea that “the prime directive of biology is to survive and reproduce” is clearly understood when talking about animals, unless those animals are humans, then suddenly that idea is inverted to the point that I’ve seen some people declare that they aren’t sure how humans would survive if you just plopped some children in the middle of nowhere, since “sex isn’t intuitive.”

        • The Cominator says:

          “Personality-wise girls are already their adult selves very early on.”

          Agree on all points EXCEPT for this one. I’ve seen female personalities change dramatically within short periods of time (95% of the time for the worse). Women do not generally have a stable sense of self or their own personality outside what the female herd requires (and this is the big problem with American women as the herd is absolutely evil and insane) or whatever their alpha male wants them to be.

          • RedBible says:

            Women are herd animals first, and individuals second. What the tribe wills (Either her alpha or the “totally just my friends and not evil at all women”) that will come first, and her personality is just some icing on the cake.

            The big way that women get ruined in America is how bloated their egos get. Once deflated, not really an issue (other than the fact that most women at the point where their ego has become annoyingly massive probably aren’t worth the salvage effort/time.)

      • Yes, I suspect an alternative hypothesis on the LQ of “pre-sexual behavior”; sexual dynamics that are encoded in us before puberty to help the “puberty update” run properly.

        When I was 9, I couldn’t get a hard-on and didn’t know what to do with my cock, but I did like to bully and tease girls my age. When I was 13, it had been beaten into me that bullying and teasing girls was an unimaginable crime. If it had not been, and I continued to do it, the exact same dynamic would have played out except it would have ended with my cock inside the girl I was bullying. (In a sense, learning game was about re-identifying with my 9yo self, unearthing the attitude of “girls are gross but they give good sport”)

        I talk about sex very frankly with girls I’m sleeping with, and I discovered that girls usually start masturbating around the age of five, with three being the earliest and eight being the latest. I don’t think “feels good when touched” necessarily translates into “wants to be railed out by a seven foot barbarian” though the latter definitely comes into play by puberty. Little girls do have an obsession with adult alpha males, and they do touch themselves, but it’s not possible to determine when those two circuits connect.

        Most cultures are reluctant to marry off 9yo girls because a 9yo girl has an indeterminate SMV. Lots of cute kids grow up to be ugly adults, and plenty of ugly or awkward-looking little girls grow up to be quite hot. A father can get the highest-status husband for his daughter at the peak of her attractiveness, which is never before she hits puberty; the vast, vast majority of men are not attracted to little girls and are unwilling to invest in an asset of indeterminate value that won’t pay dividends, children, for another few years.

Little girls do have an obsession with adult alpha males, and they do touch themselves, but it’s not possible to determine when those two circuits connect.

          In a way those circuits never really connect – when they do experiments asking men and women to watch interactions and evaluate whether a woman was acting as if she was interested women consistently don’t see / understand the clues that women are flirting whereas men do. The authors of these studies pitch this as men being clueless but it’s much more likely that it’s women being clueless about their own nature – they flirt, things happen, somehow they wind up inseminated with it never really entering into their conscious mind that that was her goal.

        • Steve Johnson says:

          Most cultures are reluctant to marry off 9yo girls because a 9yo girl has an indeterminate SMV. Lots of cute kids grow up to be ugly adults, and plenty of ugly or awkward-looking little girls grow up to be quite hot. A father can get the highest-status husband for his daughter at the peak of her attractiveness, which is never before she hits puberty; the vast, vast majority of men are not attracted to little girls and are unwilling to invest in an asset of indeterminate value that won’t pay dividends, children, for another few years.

          Two interesting bits here:

          1) Emma Watson entirely owes her fame to this – she’s a mediocre looking woman who’s a sort of sex symbol only because at 10 she looked like she was going to mature into a very attractive woman (she didn’t).

          2) I’ve read similar explanations for women’s sexual attraction to peak age men. For short term mating when she’s only interested in genetic quality the man’s age shouldn’t matter too much so the hypothesis is that she looks for men close to peak age because she can compare them more readily.

          • Dave says:

            Aside from her short-haircut phase, or the times she’s spouted feminist dogma when not in the presence of attractive men, how is Emma Watson a “mediocre looking woman”? She could crush any beauty contest in my rural white county, even if the minimum age were 16!

            • Not Tom says:

              Ridiculous. She’s better than mediocre, but basically a 7 made up to look like a plausible 8. She looks boyish, no tits and no ass.

              And she really hasn’t aged all that well, though you wouldn’t have known that from her teenage appearance. Remember that glamor mag cover photo of her wearing that bizarre revealing outfit? Total turnoff right there.

              Comparing her to teenage white country girls who aren’t fat is just silly. Even hick towns produce the occasional 8 or 9.

          > Little girls do have an obsession with adult alpha males, and they do touch themselves, but it’s not possible to determine when those two circuits connect.

          Those two circuits typically connect at age nine. Before then, touching themselves, and bothering alpha males until they get punished, is pre-sexual play, as playing with dolls is pre maternal play. But I, because I always perform alpha in front of adult women, get bothered to the point where it is a serious problem and major harassment. When there is a little girl around, my wife from time to time cries out “Don’t bruise her” because I frequently have to engage in forceful measures to stop the pre sexual, and not so pre, harassment.

          At age nine or so, they start wanting the alpha male to punish them on the genitals. Which of course, would be unlikely to reduce the harassment.

        • >When I was 9, I couldn’t get a hard-on and didn’t know what to do with my cock, but I did like to bully and tease girls my age. When I was 13, it had been beaten into me that bullying and teasing girls was an unimaginable crime. If it had not been, and I continued to do it, the exact same dynamic would have played out except it would have ended with my cock inside the girl I was bullying.

          I don’t know if it is all about “beating into”. There was little feminism where I grew up, but I felt an incredible loss of confidence both in general but especially about girls around puberty. I think the reason is different. I think the reason is that girls are peak value because peak fertility at puberty, while for boys it is the other way around.

          Being a 13 year old feels like you are being right at the bottom of a male hierarchy while the girls are apparently quite confidently conscious of their high value. Status in the modern world such as money or power tends to correlate positively with age, which is rather obvious, a career is supposed to get somewhere. But it seems also be the case in the ancestral environment, not only because alpha gorillas tend to be silverbacks, but also because a 30 year old man easily beats the shit out of a 17 year old one and a 13 year old is not even a question. “Old man strength” is real, start working out at 17, struggle with 30kg bench press, get it up to 50kg, stop for a year, start again, repeat, anyway, after years of not lifting return at 36 and so be surprised how easily you are starting with 60kg and in weeks you are pushing 100kg. Just because testosterone production and erection strength tends to decline from 35 things like strength not. Or confidence – especially past 40, I could do everything wrongly, I can not lift for a year, eat shit, dress like a chump and still I have so much confidence that my 20 year old self would have killed for. I have no idea where it comes from. My old self was “self-conscious” about how others may judge me. My current self not only does not care, in fact I judge other people. Absolutely no idea where it came from. Seems like just coming with age.

          What does one do matters, genetics matter, but I think somehow our bodies work so that being alpha is incredibly hard at 13 or 18 and often comes just quite naturally 35 to… maybe 50? 55?

          So Nature has played this cruel joke on us that male and female value work entirely oppositely in time, female value maxes out at puberty and is in constant decline while male value is minimal at puberty and is constant in incline until old age beats it.

          This is actually an interesting argument for controlling women for their own good on its own. Even if we would imagine women having the same exact brains and drives as men, it would still mean that they are at their highest value at a young age where people are just in general not very good at making decisions. While being a male teenager is terrible because not only girls but also all older men make you feel like you are the bottom of the hierarchy and essentially worthless, but it is a good thing that by the time a man peaks in sexual value, about 40, he has grown wise enough to use it responsibly.

          BTW my experience may differ, I might be a later peaker than others, because I also had puberty quite late because my boringly normal stress-free upbringing meant a Slow Life History Strategy. Maybe 40 is not one most feel the best, but 30-35.

          • That is true. As soon as a boy hits puberty, he’s suddenly a member of the male hierarchy, and at the very bottom relative to older men and girls his age.

            Before we had our feminizing educational system though, boys grew up faster and were men much earlier. When fathers are allowed to be fathers, and boys are allowed to bully each other and sort out the male hierarchy, they become men much faster. Today, we try to turn boys into girls, not totally successfully, but partially, and we have lots of young men who act like women.

            • Ideally, feminizing education should be entirely abolished, but if that is blocked, the British tradition of pushing sports is a perhaps acceptable compromise. My favorite example is Tolkien writing to his son that he played rugby in college, and he was weak but balanced it with “fierceness” so he “won his colours” (Was put on the college team? Likely.) I mean, Tolkien, the textbook room temperature scholar, the nerdy conlangist, as a fierce rugby tackler! And thus Chesterton’s complaint, that Eton focuses on sports and cleanliness and not on learning, well, that is because you don’t have to push smart nerdy boys like young Tolkien to study, they want to study on their own. But you have to push them to get serious in sports, and that is very good for them.

              AFAIK this British thing to push scholarly kids into sports didn’t really take root in the US because there is this hypercompetitive attitude to specialize and get excellent in one thing, either learning or sports, instead of being okay in both. It also did not take root in Continental Europe because we are a bunch of cucks. But it is a very good thing. It turns “Athenian” education into something a bit more “Spartan”.

                Also to the extent we are involved in sports we should endeavour to discourage ball sports in favor of things that resemble war games, paintball airsoft etc. This will better instill manly mentality in unathletic priestly types while getting consistently humiliated in sportsball games will not.

                That’s not it. The US used to have an athletic Ivy League tradition very similar to that of English tradition but it got nailed on both ends by Goodheart’s law (a test ceases to be a good measure when it becomes a target).

                Athletics + sufficient scholarship was supposed to select for leadership and overall genetic quality but it stopped doing so when you had a group that was genetically selected for intelligence (so all of a sudden the intelligence as *overall* genetic quality signal failed). Later you had the athletics end of it fail as well for the same reason – you had a group with different baseline genetic selection. Now you make a sports team for a college with members of a low IQ human species who the original intent might still work on – they’re likely above the baseline IQ *for their species*. Meanwhile the selection for intelligence + well roundedness (i.e., overall genetic quality) turns into selection for holiness + sufficient intelligence because the competition for athletic students is a totally separate endeavor.

                • info says:

                  I think all males should have weak physicality and weak intellect selected against at the same time. In this way maladaptive IQ genetics that correlate with weak physicality and maladaptive low IQ correlating with high physicality get selected against.

                  This will ensure that Hi IQ and robust physicality converge in an optimal well rounded man.

                • Not Tom says:

                  Correlation between physical fitness and mental fitness is fairly well documented. It appears to be selected for already, probably because physical coordination (especially for bipeds) and motor skills require large brains.

                  And I know someone will want to jump in with “but muh black sportsball players”, but those guys are often chosen because they’re huge and/or have high endurance, not because they’re exceptionally talented, and the ones that are exceptionally talented also tend to be smarter.

                  So it looks like nature has already designed the solution you seek. All we have to do is not fuck with it. Progressivism might select for frailty, but it’s also morbid. They might be able to delay the inevitable, but they’ll never escape Gnon. Women don’t want to have babies with weaklings, and while they will indeed have babies with strong and aggressive morons, those morons will never win wars against strong and aggressive smart guys. That’s the civilizational cycle in a nutshell.

                  The good strong men have to coordinate. Gnon is not going to do it for them. And they have to demonstrate strength to women by suppressing stupid aggressive men, and putting women under control.

                  The reason that women don’t marry CEOs is that actually existent CEOs are unable to control, or even acknowledge seeing, bad female behavior in the workplace. The reason that women fuck thugs, is that our judicial and police systems are reluctant to control criminals, and prefer to harass middle class taxpayers.

                  And eventually they will coordinate, as they always do; it’s just a question of how bad things need to get before they’ll do so. A strong religion helps to preemptively address the problems and pause or slow the endless cycle, which is of course what we want.

            My plan is to replace priestly education with apprenticeship, turn off the supply of feral pussy, (which will frustrate apprentices, but not result in daily proof that they are low status in the eyes of women) and make it easy to find an obedient virgin wife as soon as apprenticeship, and therefore ability to support a wife and kids, is in the bag.

            Dads are a lot more appreciative of beta provider game than daughters, and history demonstrates that if a girl is restrained from cruising for alpha, she will fall hard for the first guy presented to her as reasonably high status by her dad.

Well that is until you run into an environment where there are some females, and damn will they look a lot better than they would otherwise. That’s the points that frustration peaks out.

                That’s one of the reason we used to have sex-segregated education. Put horny young teens together as coeds and of course they will ignore learning and focus on each other. To the extent that the “coed” became today a porn term, meaning the hot young girl one used to daydream about all day at school instead of paying attention to the lectures.

                There are other good reasons – they should learn different things, in different ways, they have different kinds of discipline problems (aggression vs. talking all the bloody time) and so on. But basically the root thing is that you put a hot piece of ass anywhere near a young man/boy and he is not going to concentrate on anything else.

                  The “research” (believe it or don’t, but this gets studied a lot and the data is of decent quality) appears to be converging on single-sex schools primarily improving performance on the low end. Smart boys do fine in either coed or SS.

                  Same for smart girls, notwithstanding the fact that we are destroying society by trying to funnel fertile-age women into sterile careers and/or temple prostitution.

                  Of course, another way of interpreting this could be that nerdy boys with low sex drive do fine in coed settings, and alphas and warrior types do much worse; but so far as I can tell, those deemed low-achievement always achieve less than the high-achievers no matter what arrangement is used. We can complain about the operationalization, say that the entire neo-Prussian system selects for obedient NPC priests and the way we measure “achievement” is ridiculous, but it’s still the best data that we have.

                  It’s more interesting to me to look at the workplace, where I see what Jim talks about. Women, including married women, constantly acting out in the hope of attracting attention from an alpha. Even the very smart ones generally subtract value unless there is an alpha who can keep them in line and is willing to do so despite endless temptation to defect, and even then, they still add considerably less value than a male of equivalent intelligence.

                  Unlike public schooling, which is a rigged system and inferior to mandatory apprenticeship, the average corporate workplace is an accurate representation of real-world adult group dynamics, and regardless of the precise reasons, introducing women has been an absolute disaster. Every corporation needs to develop a healthy skepticism for women that is the polar opposite of the current grrlpower narrative – similar to the superstitions seamen had in previous centuries that even one woman on the ship was bad luck.

                  All of Poochman’s comments have been black pill or blue pill with a touch of purple pill, but they do not appear to be scripted, and the purple pill content does not look like someone who comments with Human Resources looking over his shoulder – he is writing his own material, not filling in the blanks in someone else’s script.

                  All of his comments appear to be posted from an alternate reality radically different from what is in front of our noses, but this is absolutely normal. In the workplace, everyone seems to be living in an alternate reality where women in the workplace are supposedly behaving in away radically different from their actual, and painfully conspicuous, behavior.

                  My guess is that he genuinely saw one big black in the gym lying about combat experience, and since he is required to believe that whites are weak, re-imagined this, much as bad behavior by women in the workplace gets re-imagined.

                  Tribal human warfare is a game of chicken. You fight a skirmish or an ambush, somewhat halfheartedly, fighting while risking life and limb as little as possible, until one side gets scared and retreats, after which the victorious side chases the loser down and stabs him from behind.

                  Only whites and east asians have military discipline, the ability to hold ranks, follow orders, and fight without retreating. The Aztecs, in certain areas, were on par with or more advanced than Spain, but Cortez routinely spanked armies twenty times his own size because the Aztecs practiced tribal warfare with armies of ten thousand, while Cortez told his couple hundred men “no retreat, hold the line”, and they listened.

                  Less politically correct reports from before WWII, when they were thinking about black soldiers, paint a stark statistical picture of absolute incompetence among black troops. No reason to suspect that has changed. We also have statistics on the racial makeup of the military, and sure enough combat arms is overwhelmingly white. Some mulattoes can do it, many white hispanics, but you’ll never see coal black bantu or squat aztec monkey man on the front lines.

                  > huge black (combat) soldiers

                  Long ago I asked a US special forces veteran why the elite combat units are overwhelmingly white. He gave a brief sociological explanation that could not possibly account for the extent of the imbalance, and then the following.

                  Selection into special units includes a de facto IQ requirement. Say around 112 minimum. This disproportionately eliminates blacks. However, at the margins, this is waived a bit to allow IQ 108-112 guys (he did not say if blacks specifically are targeted) who are also huge physically, because in the field it is useful to also have men who can carry extra large loads of equipment. So there are still proportionately few blacks but those one sees will be extra large.

                  Gotta call this one out. Blacks have been substantially represented in 2 highly effective combat forces: the SADF and the Rhodesian Light Infantry. In both cases, they were under the command of an all white officer corps. In both cases, they were up against fanatical blacks seeking to destroy the apple cart. In both cases, these blacks could see what was at stake with their own eyes. Blacks comprised over 50% of the front line soldiers in both military forces.

                  Further, there were large numbers of blacks serving in WWI. As has been stated, much of that institutional experience was negative for the US, which is why in WWII they were cooks and drivers for the most part. The colonial blacks serving the French and English are a different story. In WWI they served as front line elements, along with Tamils, Sikhs, Gurkha, Kikuyu, and a whole mishmash of lesser peoples drawn into colonial service.

                  These three examples suggest a few conclusions. Blacks can be excellent combat operators when trained, motivated, and commanded properly. Blacks can be compelled to serve as rank and file line soldiers. In both, it requires submission to something outside their own personal motivations and cultural moors.

                  It is not accurate to say they are incapable of being combat effective; it is more accurate to say that there is no way in hell the American military is turning out high quality black soldiers.

                  *Just to head this off at the pass, there are two very good reasons why pictures of coloreds and blacks fighting in the Bush Wars are so rare: initially it was a morale thing for white, and over time it was a security thing for the black soldiers.

                  This merely shows us that blacks under white leadership are substantially more effective than blacks under black leadership, which was also recently demonstrated in the war between Botswana and Zimbabwe.

                  If the had been fighting soldiers under white leadership, would have not been “highly effective”

                  The function of blacks under white leadership is to be sandbags for their white leadership. In practice, in the Bush wars, the Rhodesians tended to rely on white troops officered by white officers, which suggests that the sandbags were not terribly useful. If black troops under white officers had actually been useful, Rhodesians would have made more use of them.

                  > Further, there were large numbers of blacks serving in WWI.

                  Who generally fought, to the extent that any of them fought at all, in segregated regiments – black regiments with white leadership, as for example the colonial forces. You can tell from the poster boys that all of these black regiments performed appallingly badly.

                  Priests in power are naturally hostile to warriors, but progressive doctrine on women exacerbates this severely, and emasculates them individually. Stalin was a warrior priest, and warrior priests did fine under communism, but they do not do well under progressivism. Cromwell was a warrior priest, and did fine under early puritanism, but he would not have made it to the top under later puritanism, which may explain their massive fail after Cromwell died.

                  Because of the innate conflict between priests and warriors, the holiness spiral is apt to head off in directions that undermine the capacity to fight of those suffering a holiness spiral. Not always, but often enough.

The fact that they’re killing and dying for their own ethnostate, have an average birthrate of 4-5, strong independent womyn fighters moonlighting as harem concubines, etc. does not register. The higher ranking Kurds(who tend to be Armenian on the maternal side) talk about these openly within themselves, but for the outside world and especially for the West, they claim to fight for some schismatic socialist ideology for all peoples everywhere. I think your movement could learn a thing or two from these guys.

                  As for Western volunteers in northern Syria, most of them are kept away from the frontlines and heavily promoted as they are a massive PR win. The ones who actually fight tend to be ex military and not necessarily there for the commie utopia. I’m guessing most of their casualties are not from fighting ISIS but from TAF airstrikes.

                  Female combatants is a 20th century thing in armies short on, uh, manpower, plus a few national armies that are pozzed (USA) or conscript women (Israel). It doesn’t push the women themselves left- or right-ward, after their service they go home and return to doing whatever women in that time and place usually do. All those partisans from WW2 became regular housewives after the war. Some of the super duper, hundreds-of-kills female Russian snipers became sniper trainers and worked for the army as their long term job, but had regular family lives subordinate to their husbands and doing the cooking and cleaning.

                  The Amazons really existed, and were a matriarchal people, but it seems that when their organized military encountered the Greek organized military at sea, only the top brass were women. Sounds suspiciously like the US Navy. The legend of warrior women is an improvement on real history, the real history being a society in which women had a great deal of power, and were actually in the military in high ranking roles – but where we can observe what happens in such militaries, as for example the US navy …

                  Women in the military existed then as they existed now, but when we observe what happens to societies with women in the military … they vanish from history due to military defeat and failure to reproduce.

                  All these comments arguing that blacks can fight and women can fight are providing evidence that women and blacks participated in militaries resembling those of white males – but they all have one thing in common. When those militaries encountered white male militaries, they lost, and if you go back to earlier times, you find that they lost and peoples with women in the military vanished from history.

                • On black soldiers: under white officers, Colonial powers used them and while I don’t have any reliable info on their effectiveness because they mostly fought other blacks e.g. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_campaign_(World_War_I) but they saw enough action. Think Senegali infantry or Askaris. If you think about it, if their problem is the tribal style warfare, white officers can just drill and drill and drill them until they stop that shit and hold the line. That sounds plausible enough to me. Drilling does work when you do it enough.

                  Another thing is that the British colonial administration designated some peoples as warrior races, to recruit mostly from them and they did not use broad categories like blacks or Indians, but had it more fine-tuned. For example, in and around India, the Rajput, Sikh, Gurkha were warrior races. In Africa, I don’t know. The Masai look like one to me.

                  I generally like my racism fine-tuned 🙂 For example some dude was hunting tigers in India around 1925 and wrote a book about it. Talked about meeting Rajputs , who really looked like real men, proud, strong, and they told him “North India breeds men, South India breeds monkeys.” Just talking about “subcons” does not really cut it too finely IMHO.

                • BTW same dude was also hunting cheetah in British East Africa a year or two earlier. Interesting that he did not say one negative word about the blacks. However he seemed to take it entirely for granted that blacks who served as NCO’s in the King’s African Rifles for years speak like 8 manged word of English, so he needed a white dude to translate to Swahili, and that he picked up enough Swahili in a matter of weeks to go out alone with them. That was just a matter of fact thing entirely normal and expected. And that he feels very sorry for them because they had their own trad lives, for which they were very well adapted to, when they were reading animal tracks to hunt them, which they did superbly, and then the white man came along and seduced them into a life where they have to read books at school and they are not well suited for that at all. Seriously not a word that would sound insulting or demeaning and yet it is just obvious what it all meant. But they back then just took these differences entirely for granted. They weren’t shitlords in 1924 or so. They didn’t have to be.

                  Communist nations (the avowed post-1917 kind, not the AIACC stealth type) do have some factors leading them to use women in combat at an earlier point than the same idea would occur in non-commie countries. But I think it’s manpower shortages that ultimately drive it, plus industrialization. Had the military roles of USSR and Germany been reversed, and less of a push for Aryan fertility, there might have been more Nazi woman snipers.

                  1. Very widespread paramilitary scouting, for both sexes. Troupes are usually mixed sex, under names like “Young Pioneers” and often involving weapons training in addition to all the hiking and Marxist sing-along.

                  2. A push to industrialize plus the usual central planning issues means they were already had a need to push women into factories. Schools and nurseries were supplied by the state to create female labor availability. Once you have this mobile labor pool it’s not that hard to redirect some of it to warfare.

                  3. Commie nations chronically relying on armies as artificial employment.

              Due to the usual screw ups and fog of war, Lord Cardigan received a very stupid order to attack some enemy guns He protested the order vehemently, but then obeyed it, Leading his men from the front in his very conspicuous officer uniform – in fact a long way in front. Since he had a superior horse, he got far in front of his men. He arrived at the enemy, personally took one whack at the leading enemy officer, then signaled the retreat before most of his men had arrived, obeying his orders to the letter pro forma with the least possible danger to his men, and the greatest possible danger to himself.

              Which so enraged the priestly classes of media and university that they then started telling us about perfumed princes, and have been demonizing Lord Cardigan ever since.

                  I cannot imagine Wellington if he knew about machine guns EVER ordering his men to walk in tight ranks towards machine guns but Haig did exactly that, Wellington as much as he despised his men in a certain sense would have also been horrified at the idea of trying to win a war by attrition. But Haig thought it was a good idea and because Haig’s generations of aristocrats so massively fucked up the conduct of world war I and decimated a whole generation the reputation and position of the British upper class never recovered.

                  Now its not as if they only got the lower class killed because the aristocrats and gentry also predominated among junior officers (who were more likely to get killed then anyone since they were supposed to quite literally lead their men during attacks) but the fact remains they never got their position back after WWI.

                  I know very little about the French command I did not know that socialists predominated (sounds like the Obama flag officers corps). I didn’t think they did anything quite as stupid as the Somme or Passchendale.

                  The Socialist French goverment feared the army more than the Germans and the socialist generals they did appoint where either incompetent or intentionally murdering their troops.

                  This is also why the French army collapsed in WW2. The officer core was mostly socialists who fled at the first sign of battle, where as it was only socialist at the Generals level in WW1

                  I would bet that the UK goverment selected their officers for their stupidity during WW1. Probably viewed it as a great opportunity to get rid of those pesky aristocrats who led from the front.

                  Not quite sure how it happened that the British had so many stupid generals during WWI, Lloyd George was a socialist (but of your generally less evil union populist kind) and he very much rightly hated and despised Haig, but of course being a weaselly politician was too gutless to fire Haig.

                  The better allied generals tended to come from Commonwealth countries like Australia and Canada so there might be something to the British generals being selected for stupidity but I’m not quite sure how it happened.

                I believe its King Louis XIV the Sun King who undertook the effort. And this perfumed prince problem manifested itself by Louis XVI who was beheaded not long after ascending the throne.
