The Trump Revolution

Hat tip Yarvin’s butterfly revolution.

1. Get the oligarchs on side, and threaten any Republican traitors with big money primary opponents ✔ Done.

2. Defund the left. Under way. Notice how, once Musk seized the inner sanctum at USAID, the Democrats found themselves unable to put a river of meat on the streets. It looks like the microphone for which a thousand shills were the loudspeakers was located there. Their street protests have been hilarious. Their shrill outrage has been even more hilarious. I still am not tired of winning. It turns out that the dead were not only voting, but receiving social security payments.

3. Purge the bureaucracy. Begun, at least in the notoriously criminal, vicious, depraved, and dangerous Department of Justice. But there has been a retreat on the first attempt to purge the CIA, who are still working on government payroll to spy on and overthrow the Trump team. The CIA still monitors everything, watching with malicious intent and feeling for opportunities to cause harm. But the intent to bring them to heel is still there. Trump 2.0 relies on sudden dramatic thunderbolts, that give the enemy no time to organise resistance. We can plausibly hope that a thunderbolt is being prepared to hit the spy agencies and the FBI. Tulsi Gabbard has read Snowden.

4. Men with guns. Trump has the US marshals and now has the secret service. Pete Hegseth is wooing the NCOs and the grunts. Trump needs to have the FBI, and as yet they are still controlled by his enemies.

5. Pardon the victims of lawfare ✔ Done.

6. Ignore the courts, which is begun, but the Trump team is still going through the motions of judicial reverence. The Judiciary still have a lot of soft power. When Henry the eighth dissolved the monasteries, he first had to dig up the dirt on them. It is not only senior civil servants who have been getting strangely wealthy, strangely fast. What needs to be done is get the dirt on the judiciary, destroy their soft power, and then either purge them, or better, replace the corrupt and woefully slow and expensive judicial system with something else, as Davao Mayor Duterte did. Start with sending Attorney General Letitia James to jail for twenty years or so, and then get started on the judges that enabled her crimes and participated in them, then get the rest of the strangely wealthy judges. It is going to take a while to destroy judicial soft power. Soft power operations are more of attrition than thunderbolts. It took Henry the Eighth quite a while to dissolve the monasteries, and Charles the Second’s purge of the Church of England was also rather slow and gentle. Too gentle, as things turned out, but slow was probably unavoidable.

7. Tanks in Harvard. Universities are inherently a religious institution, always have been, always will be. Professors are priests, always have been, always will be. The question is, which religion? Tanks are not enough. You have to bring a gun to a gunfight and a faith to a holy war. We need men in charge of Harvard who meet Saint Paul’s requirements for the priesthood: Christian, free from scandal, married, married to only one wife, and successfully raising well behaved children. Personnel is policy.

The Cominator says:

New EO dropped no more agency independence (i expect the next EO will be that this includes even the federal reserve). Strict Article 2 subordination of all agencies. WH final sign-off on all regs.

Anon says:

What the expectation in 2028?
One of the reason that the left is still placid is because they are under normality bias , they think it is 2016 and the next election trump will be out and everything will be reversed. Hell next year is the midterms.

Jim says:

The reason the left is so placid is that left has beheaded itself, and Trump has just cut their C3I.

Left command and control was the deep state. When Musk seized the inner sanctum of USAID, the microphone that controls a thousand loudspeakers was cut.

And now their entire apparatus is being defunded. Remember all that hysteria over Musk having access to social security numbers. We now see why. The dead were not only voting, but receiving social security.

They still have Harvard, the legacy media, and Judiciary, but their thousand loudspeakers bellowing from rooftops day and night are no longer getting any new scripts. And the legacy media just got defunded, which will shortly leave them only Harvard and the Judiciary. They carelessly let Hollywood burn to the ground. Deregulation is going to defund the big blue megalopoli.

The next elections are likely to be a shambles. Trump is likely to retire for reasons of age in 2028, but he has a strong bench around him. JD Vance would be great — all the likely contenders would be great.

But Harvard and Judiciary are going to have to be dealt with, and if they are not, there will be problems.

The left’s state level hard power apparatus is still fully functional in the big blue megalopoli, but without the deep state telling them what to do, are no longer and army, merely a mob. They could pull themselves together, agree on leadership, and fight back. Very likely will. But Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion makes it very hard for them to organise. Diversity plus proximity equals war. Lots of soft power in the form of the Judiciary and Harvard, but soft power without hard power is weak.

But we have to take out Harvard and the Judiciary. For which tanks will be an great help, but will not suffice.

Neurotoxin says:

On the topic of dealing with the judges, I am paradoxically impatient yet calm. I am impatient because I wish Trump had struck back immediately the first time a judge said “You can’t do that.” Yet I am calm because it is so obvious that the Trump Admin is acting with a plan. The way DOGE slammed into USAID, for example. Of course dealing with judges would have been a key element of the plan, given their outrageous rulings during his first term. So I rather strangely find myself sounding like a retarded Q-ANONer circa 2020: “Trust the plan!”

Jim says:

Not tired of winning.

But alarmed by the deference given to judges even though they are obviously ignoring them. The judiciary has to be destroyed.

The Cominator says:

Apparently one of the latest rulings to fulling restore USAid funding immediately got a “now let him enforce it” response.

The Cominator says:

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-keeps-usaid-contracts-frozen-despite-court-order-2025-02-19/
Here is the article they are apparently using more weasely words than going full let him enforce it, but its basically going full now let him enforce it.

Daddy Scarebucks says:

It’s a mildly positive development. Though I too find it worrying that the administration even feels the need to say “we are technically complying with the TRO but found various loopholes here, here and here.”

I will withhold my relieved sigh until either the rulings stop, or the administration simply replies: “No.”

I would very much like to see the one-word reply, or, failing that, a no-word reply; even Jackson’s terse wording, which he may or may not have actually said, feels too deferential for the clown world judiciary. We should simply reject the frame that they have any legal authority whatsoever, never mind the enforcement.

Whatever authority they may once have been perceived to have was abdicated during the Obama administration and lampooned during Trump I and Biden Null. There is no reason to take these yapping dogs any more seriously than the legacy media.

The Cominator says:

“It’s a mildly positive development. Though I too find it worrying that the administration even feels the need to say “we are technically complying with the TRO but found various loopholes here, here and here.”
Obviously Trump has decided that there is just no way they are actually restoring USAid funding no matter what. They want to maintain some basic optics that they respect court orders for now but obviously they are only selectively complying with court orders. Considering how fast Trump is moving and that he isn’t making the kind of mistakes of last time I’m inclined to respect his political judgement on this. He wants to ease people into let them enforce it so its a small step rather than a huge alarming one but hes willing to make the huge step if he absolutely has to.

Daddy Scarebucks says:

Considering how fast Trump is moving and that he isn’t making the kind of mistakes of last time I’m inclined to respect his political judgement on this.

Of course I agree. I am simply pointing out that the current position is unstable, and could break either way.

Regime change is impossible without temporary instability, so this is not unexpected, but the outcome is still unknown even if we assume that Trump has a clear plan and that events are unfolding roughly according to plan.

Small tactical victories are still victories, and to be celebrated; but until the grand strategic victory is won, keep your powder dry.

Neurotoxin says:

> Cominator, Daddy Scarebucks

This may be a low-key way of telling judges, “I am willing to proceed to direct confrontation. Are you? It’s time to check your resolve. You know that if I can simply ignore your ‘rulings’ then your power is broken forever. A big risk to take for sex-change operations in Guatemala.”

That is, Trump is doing slow escalation to explicit Andrew Jackson instead of immediate escalation. Much though I like the idea of immediate escalation, the gradual approach has at least this feature: it allows the enemy more than one step at which to back down. Of course, it also allows them time to plan, get pieces into position, etc. There is also the question of whether the left will back down. How often does that happen? Ever?

Another possibility, which is not mutually exclusive with the above: Trump may be testing the judges (as they have been testing US society for the last century). It’s like a probe in the military sense: A judge issues a “ruling” and Trump and his staff ignore it, and observe the response. Then the judge finds them “in contempt” and they ignore that too. So the judge finds them “in extra contempt” and that is also ignored so he finds them in “super extra contempt” and that also is ignored. Then what? At some point the judge has to either give up or call up a bunch of guys with guns and say, e.g., “Go arrest Musk.” Then what happens? Can the judge actually find LEOs to try this? If not, it’s over and we’ve won. Or at least, we have a major victory. The NYT et al write some editorials about how we now live in a fascist dictatorship, etc., which editorials are also ignored, and life goes on.

Or maybe the judge actually does manage to find some treasonous FBI guys who are willing to do the arrest(s). Then what? Worst-case scenario, they arrest somebody (Musk or whoever) and manage to get him to a secret holding facility so Trump’s guys can’t bust him out. I’m pretty sure Trump 2.0 wouldn’t lie down for that, but what would he do? This may literally require military planes doing a bombing run over the FBI building to put them back down into their proper place. Hard to believe I’m writing that, but it’s also hard to imagine either the left or Trump 2.0 backing down in this conflict.

Jim says:

If neither side backs down, things will escalate. As with bankruptcy, at first slowly, then suddenly.

After being nicked by a bullet, Trump is probably not inclined to back down. On the other hand, with every outraged scream of Trump derangement syndrome, the enemy is signalling their disinclination to back down. But signalling disinclination too loudly, frothing at the mouth too spectacularly, leads one to suspect that a backdown is likely. The quiet dog is the one that will attack you, and the stone faced man is the man who will kill you should he determine that he needs to. The loudly barking dog that is charging you will turn and flee with his tail between his legs when he sees the unblinking stare of the adversary he is charging.

Mayflower Sperg says:

The enemy’s screams tell Trump that his shots are hitting their targets.

Jim says:

Thermidor does not have a plan. Their plan is “Lets go back to pre-obama leftism” Not a viable solution Obviously Trump has a plan. He came in ready to roll. Does Trump have a more viable plan?

The enemy state religion has to be removed and replaced. The priestly institutions, of which Harvard is the center, have to be run by our priests.

A sensible plan would be to postpone and evade full on confrontation with the judiciary until Trump has all the levers of hard power, then investigate the judiciary and dig up a lot of dirt, then time for dissolution of the monasteries. Will he take the final step?

T says:

Over for the State Department’s Azov Nazis.

Donald Trump is demanding Volodymyr Zelensky hold elections that could oust him from office as the price of peace.

His comments came after Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, and Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, met in Saudi Arabia for the first time on Tuesday to discuss terms to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

After more than four hours of talks, it emerged that both sides had agreed elections should be held in Ukraine before a final peace settlement is reached.

The proposal raises concerns that Russia will use the ballot to oust Ukraine’s wartime leader from office and install a pro-Putin candidate who would agree to peace terms favourable to Moscow.

Later on Tuesday, Mr Trump said the demand for a Ukrainian presidential election “came from me”.

Speaking from Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach he said: “We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he’s down at 4 per cent approval rating, and where a country has been blown to smithereens…

“If Ukraine wants a seat at the table, wouldn’t the people have to say it has been a long time since they had an election?

“That’s not a Russian thing, that’s something coming from me and coming from many other countries also.”

https://archive.is/AkTlZ

As expected.

Fidelis says:

The proposal raises concerns that Russia will use the ballot to oust Ukraine’s wartime leader from office and install a pro-Putin candidate who would agree to peace terms favourable to Moscow.

“Oh just a few concerns here. We heard some people had this concern. You know, these concerns, they were just raised, people had them.”

Proposal to postpone the election and peace talks until every last journalist has been shipped to Kursk. Airdropped, without any jacket or supplies. They can tell the Russians their concerns about the treatment.

The Cominator says:

Judge orders Trump to fully restore funding for his enemies networks, openly gets told that the judge has made his ruling now let him enforce it.

Bix Nudelmann says:

My name is Bix and I’ll be your furious autiste this evening.

Somehow purging and punishing, from Deep State DC and Kiev, the people responsible for the attempted genocide of Christian Ukraine (that is, its young men killed, maimed or otherwise terrorized and driven off), can be a great political tool for 1) ending the war there, 2) looking like heroes doing it, and 3) removing obstacles to the game plan above, all at the same time.

I sense/hope for another preference cascade waiting to happen. There are ways to find out whether most of America really believes that the Ukraine-Russia war is something happening on Ukraine’s behalf, or rather a murderous crime perpetrated UPON Ukraine by Kiev and DC. If my hope is true, and the people just get a chance to hate the people responsible, THEY WILL.

The Cominator says:

Cernovich who has been pretty on point lately has said the polls consistently show massive financial support for Ukraine as very very unpopular (I honestly haven’t looked into it and figured it was more mixed because people are rather stupid and I figured all shitlibs would support it but there would also be some neoconnish squishy trump voters who would too).

Bix Nudelmann says:

And right on time, holy shit:

“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the USA into spending $350B to go into a war that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a war that he, without the US and ‘TRUMP’, will never be able to settle.

“He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden ‘like a fiddle’. A Dictator without elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a country left.”

—Donald Trump, via Truth Social

This is what I’m talking about. Make Zelensky (and then his handlers in DC?) the bad guys, and make THEM flee to Dubai in jets full of cash and coke on YouTube.

Calvin says:

Why tanks in Harvard? US Marshals should be sufficient to handle the professors (not like they’re going to be violently resisting in any effective capacity) and the faculties themselves can be handed over to more appropriate personnel afterwards.

Daddy Scarebucks says:

It’s a metaphor, a very old one around these parts, for the subordination of soft power to hard power.

Whether it is literally tanks, helicopters, federal marshals, a handful of military guys, doesn’t really matter. The point is not only to effect the transfer of personnel, but also to serve as a constant reminder of who makes the rules.

Bix Nudelmann says:

It’s symbolic.

At the former Presidential Palace in Saigon, the NVA used a tank to bust through the gate, and to my knowledge the tank is still there, too. The palace is now a museum.

They didn’t need the tank for it, but it looked good in the picture.

The overpowering, the humiliation, is the point. To them, at that time, it didn’t feel like a wild idea or like a stunt, but like Justice.

Calvin says:

Taking your enemy’s spiritual center and rebranding it as your own, ala the Hagia Sophia, is itself immensely symbolic and exploits the existing prestige for your new administration.

Jim says:

The Vietnamese permanent tank is great symbolism. I want a tank permanently in Harvard’s central courtyard. A tank permanently maintained to be capable of movement and firing its guns, even though the time comes when tanks will be as obsolete as suits of armor.

Bix Nudelmann says:

They never fixed the gate either.

Jim says:

Do they keep the tank in good shape?

Jim says:

Digressing, tanks are already obsolete, though armored personnel carriers like Bradleys remain relevant. A tank has a mass of armor in front, and a massive gun in front for pounding through the other tank’s armor. In the entire war, we have not seen a front on battle between tanks.

But old symbols are better than new symbols, so tanks in Harvard better than Bradleys in Havard. I want a tank permanently in Harvard’s central courtyard, to symbolise the supremacy of warriors over priests.

Calvin says:

But old symbols are better than new symbols

Exactly why turning Harvard campus into a based reeducation center would be a superior use of it. I want them to feel the same way so many on our side have felt, watching something they thought sacred hollowed out and reduced to a puppet in the hands of its enemies. I want to kill their religion and wear it as a skinsuit.

Jim says:

We have to kill their religion, or else things will eventually return to the new abnormal. And there is no better and faster way than gutting it and wearing it as a skinsuit.

The Cominator says:

With the universities I’m honestly not sure exactly what we should beyond confiscating their endowments, setting side a small % of that to preserve their libraries (which would become open to the public, if the universities are in a bad area we would discourage plains ape by imposing some kind of dress code maybe) and some of their labratory facilities. The rest of their real estate should perhaps be sold to the highest bidder unless someone has a better idea…

Jim says:

Well, obviously we do not need a priesthood so enormous as the one we have now, and oversized priesthoods are dangerous, because you are overproducing elites, which leads to trouble. In our case, priest overproduction, theological trouble.

But I want to our enemy to see their sacred places under enemy occupation. Every straight male professor of good character is going to cause them the burn. Repurposing enemy holy places to uses that they find sacrilegious is well known for its effectiveness in subduing the enemy.

Bix Nudelmann says:

Excellent point, Calvin.

Reverse skin-suiting. That’s what it is.

More fascinating information from the mouths of our enemies:

https://dereferer.me/?https%3A//fedihum.org/%40lavaeolus/113998679846185670

(Note – I tried to use archive.ph for this, but got the dreaded infinite spinner. I don’t know if this blog suppresses HTTP referrers so I used dereferer but didn’t obfuscate the link.)

I don’t know why they think this information is valuable to their cause; they’re claiming various conspiracy theories like the costs are inflated, the facts are made up, or something. For us it’s an interesting window into what DOGE presumably knows or suspects, but hasn’t trickled into the public consciousness yet. Essentially an overview of “the USAID files” to come.

I’m leery of posting it because of the source, and because DOGE obviously decided they wanted it hidden, but since it is already out in the open for our enemies to see, it may as well be here for our allies.

Did you know the CDC has/had a well-funded “Office of Minority Health”? I didn’t. It’s right there in the open, you can put it into any search engine, and yet no one I know is even aware it exists.

Reddit on suicide watch.

T says:

No, sorry, I think Reddit is a fake and gay CIA astroturf platform, like much of the internet. I don’t think there are “legit humans” who actually support the coke-goblin, though if there are they should meet a similar fate. But likely almost no person outside Ukraine itself, except a small minority constituted primarily by gay Jewish demon worshippers who are spiritually (if not biologically) dying of AIDS, and probably almost no one in Ukraine itself, actually supported the Despotic Profligate.

You can woodchipper him and no one will protest, and if someone protests, likely is or was on the payroll of the previous regime, ahem ahem.

A huge amount of USAID funding was astroturf manufacture. Therefore a huge amount of astroturf is going to quietly vanish.

Circa 2010 I much enjoyed Lira’s essays, but they all seem to have been scrubbed from the internet.

Why not just get his wife and kids out of there and go live in Southeast Asia or wherever?

Jim says:

Not baffling at all. Happens all the time. It is an inherent pathology of people’s response to terror.

They are forbidden to see it, so they don’t see it, so they walk into situations where they are likely to get tortured and then murderedd.

Jim says:

Obviously, normality bias. He believed in democracy and all that.

Maidan instituted a totalitarian terror state immediately, and people took a long time to realise, because the first thing a totalitarian terror state is torture and murder anyone who notices it is a totalitarian terror state. So most people do not notice.

Bix Nudelmann says:

A “Gonzalo Lira Anthology” PDF would go over well right about now.

Jim says:

> A “Gonzalo Lira Anthology” PDF would go over well right about now.

It is getting urgent. Holding a free and fair election in a brutal totalitarian terror state is a problem. The apparatus of terror has to be suppressed, and seen to be suppressed. I don’t see a plan for getting there. You cannot pressure Zelenskyy into doing it because he cannot do it even if he wants to. You are going to need a fairly forceful coup. The tanks need to roll.

When Musk captured the Inner Sanctum of USAID, that was a coup performed by US Marshals. Doge is Dark Maga, which is not Dark Enlightenment, but adjacent. He knows this a coup.

The CIA commands the forces in the Ukraine that could perform such a coup, and John Lee Ratcliffe theoretically commands the CIA. Actually commanding it is proving more difficult. And unfortunately the chain of command reaching into the Ukraine is composed of Nazis.

The Ukraine has the most Jewish government in the world outside of Israel, and the most Nazi government since the third Reich. We may well shortly see that an all Nazi Ukrainian government is an improvement. Despite everything that is wrong with Nazis, I cannot imagine them being altogether happy with the prospect that Ukrainians will be eradicated by Jewish machinations. On the other hand, they are sincerely ideologically opposed to Trump and Maga, so may well be suffering Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The Europeans tried to organise a hundred thousand troops to support the Zelenksy government. But when push came to shove, only twenty five thousand were promised, and those promises are worthless. Everyone was in favor of someone else doing it.

When Britain sent thousands of “troops” to support the Americans in Afghanistan and the middle east, they sent thousands of bureaucrats and logistic facilitators, who holed up in the cities protected by American troops, but only about a hundred rough men with guns went out from those nice safe bases, approximately ten or twenty bureaucrats and logistics workers to supervise, manage, and supply every tough man with a gun facing danger, each of those bureaucrats and logistics workers supported by ten or twenty bureaucrats and logistic workers who remained in or near London.

Bix Nudelmann says:

So I’m naive. Again. Check my schizo homework:

Zelensky isn’t any more in command of Ukraine’s Pipe Hitter’s Club than Biden was of America’s.

So Zelenskyy can’t escape to Dubai tomorrow, even if he wanted to, because to do so he’d need to get past some very tough characters standing between him and the plane (and who actually flies the plane, anyway?)

This is very different from the fall of Kabul situation, or at least the point in that collapse when most of us tuned into the story. The Russian army is still very far from Glostomel Airport.

So this metaphorical cake really is baked full of “to the last Ukrainian”, isn’t it? No way out? No one who’s really in charge, in Kiev or DC, is worried enough — or even CAN BE worried enough? — to take his foot off the gas of this murder grift machine?

(By the way, this also has to be the most compelling PSA against drug addiction ever. If I’m wrong then I’m wrong and that’s fine, but if Zelensky didn’t NEED cocaine as much as he probably has for a long time, I’ll bet anyone here that he wouldn’t have wound up in this impossible situation. If Z were only into anime, hoagie sandwiches and Diet Coke then he would have been thinking way to clearly and logically to have NOT jumped off this crazy train to perdition.)

My guess:

Trump and Putin need to work together to make the Ukrainian Pike Hitters Club doubt the security of their own tenure. Obviously Putin has it in for them, but Trump needs them to doubt DC’s devotion to their protection also.

(When you look at it this way, it helps to justify one’s suspicion that one or both of the known assassination attempts could have been Ukrainian-perpetrated reverse-Diem’s on Trump.)

That might weaken their resolve enough to start making bug-out plans of their own, or at least suspect their fellows of making bug-out plans. Shelling Point / Prisoners’ Dilemma games take N+1. Better to split or quit now — but keep lying about it on Telegram or whatever — than to keep fucking around IRL and maybe find out later.

Then, I presume (normalcy bias warning!) that Putin has people in-country who can at least help to bring about a more Russo-neutral election result.

This situation has been OPTIMIZED for intractability. “Nothing we can do about it now” (or as I cynically and also unfairly call it, “Jewish Engineering”). It’s going to take a full court press of important people doing and saying some very shocking and offensive things — like Trump’s recent “Dictator” tweet — to unglue these playing pieces from the table so they can move around a little.

Someone has to flip some big fucking tables to get this situation unstuck and at least playable. What a conundrum. The cajones to even step into this arena AMAZE me.

Jim says:

> Someone has to flip some big fucking tables to get this situation unstuck and at least playable.

Exactly so. The Vice President’s Munich speech would suggest intent to flip some mighty big tables. But capability to flip some mighty big tables is as yet unknown.

The Cominator says:

Hard drugs are considered hard drugs (I don’t like weed at all but it was never considered a hard drug because there are people who use it regularly and are fine) because anyone (or at least 90% of people) who gets into habitually using them ruins their life or their health in generally a fairly short timeframe Hallucinogens are in a weird space where some very brilliant people use them occasionally and its a good thing and they are not per se addictive but they are terrible if anyone uses them habitually.

Bix Nudelmann says:

As for drugs, all I mean is that when you’re so hyper-focused on The Next High, you’ll make some decisions that are otherwise utterly ridicuous and needlessly dangerous. Like sucking dick, or getting your picture taken while sucking dick, or making selfie videos of yourself smoking crack with a prositute, or blowing your rent money on the 5th of the month, or lying to and taking advantage of everyone who might still trust you.

Without that preoccupation, one can more easily NOTICE that he’s in trouble and needs to get off this thing.

And by keeping someone in this state, surely that makes him “useful” to other people for dangerous jobs that might lead to getting Diem’ed, like Z’s job now. Dude is in some serious personal trouble, but I bet it still doesn’t register, and won’t, so long as someone keeps handing him white powder. Like the last scene of Scarface, it’s “I’m awesome and doing great!” right up until the commando’s bust in through the windows and shoot you full of holes.

Without cocaine, Z might have long ago realized “uhhh… guys… I have a bad feeling about this. I want out.”

Psychedelics function in accordance with Matthew 13:12:

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

You need to first possess the correct mindset, and then you can benefit. Psychedelics do not give you the correct mindset out of thin air – they tend to amplify your natural predisposition. For instance, I was based before ketamine, and ketamine made me more based. But evil, stupid, and insane people who enter this Orchard tend to come out more evil, more stupid, and more insane.

Fidelis says:

I’ve seen ayahuasca absolutely ruin people, from one trip, someone one degree away from me, friend of a family member. Something evil about it. They’ve become “so open minded their brain gets wet when it rains” and now subscribe to every strange belief system they come across. Usually you see this as a sort of substitute personality, grasping at strange beliefs to seem interesting, but this person seems to have been genuinely emptied out. They went from some low level management position to unable to keep a dishwashing job, hopping from trap house to trap house (not the most precipitous of falls, but a descent nonetheless). Didn’t know them beforehand, so I cannot comment much further, but the people who did are distressed about the situation.

With mushrooms, you basically never see this. People will at worst have an extremely bad experience on the drug then stay away. With LSD, Ive never seen it personally, but from anecdotes people who dose high and constantly eventually end up like the ayahuasca people. Normal doses, similar category to mushrooms, maybe a slight shift to openness, maybe a bad experience, not a completely new person. With the jungle potion, seems to actually be one shotting people, as the meme goes.

Victims should probably be studied. They don’t go violently demonic like the ziz vegans, but they do have their personality crushed.

Haven’t seen that proportions for I don’t know how long. But now it happened. State budget went down for multiple demonstrations against the right, and for more immigration, beforehand – secured by street bollards against terrorist car driver. Hallertime, ain’t it?

I don’t want to Israelpoast excessively but I came across a thought-provoking article which I’d like to share with the frens.

A woman who lived as a transgender man in Israel before October 7, 2023, told the New York Post that being in the Jewish State on the day of the massacre committed by the Hamas terrorist organization convinced her that transgender ideology was a “luxury belief.”

“I became significantly less concerned about all of this gender crap,” the woman, Maia, told the Post. “I realized that there were more important things in life than my gender dysphoria, because I had to just save myself.”

Maia, who is now 25, was told by her parents that as long as she wanted to identify as a man, they would only agree to pay her college tuition if she studied in a non-western country where transgender ideology is not as prevalent. She chose Israel as her family is Jewish.

The first wake-up call came during a confrontation between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization in 2021 in which Maia was forced to hide in bomb shelters during rocket attacks from Gaza. Maia was shocked when her old friends from the US actually supported the Hamas terrorist organization that was attacking Israel.

Then, in October 2023, Maia had nearly gone to the Nova music festival, but could not get tickets. She was not at the festival where hundreds of people where massacred by Hamas terrorists, but Hamas’ massive attack on Israel still affected her in Jerusalem.

Multiple salvoes of rockets were fired at Israel’s capital throughout the morning of October 7, forcing the city’s residents into bomb shelters, including Maia. She also witnessed the footage of the murders being committed that day and lost several friends who were at the Nova festival.

“It was really in those moments where I was like, why the hell am I even doing this trans thing anymore,” she said. “It was taking so much brain space to play all of these trans mind games. I realized that my body is the only thing that is going to allow me to survive, and that my body is not a pathology.”

She explained that rich countries at peace have “basically unlimited resources” to devote to transitioning young people to the opposite gender, but war-torn countries are more limited in their resources and cannot afford such a “luxury belief.”

Maia’s parents bought her a plane ticket back home a week later, where she said that she had to deal with the aftermath of the horrors of October 7 and “the psychological aftermath of realizing that I’d been living a lie for so long.”

Fort Knox supposedly going to get “audited”.
Not only does a real audit require open public witness of re-smelting, assay, serialization, etc… but even then, $500B is only about 3 months of spending.
Crypto beats gold in almost every way, except for the raw physicality of gold, which no one knows or accepts (assay problem), for goods/services anyway.

Jim says:

Still on moderation, because I assume that everyone who posts on crypto is going to be shilling his shitcoins very soon.

Particularly as you obviously have not read my posts and papers on crypto and crypto currency, and therefore probably do not read anyones posts or papers on crypto and crypto currency. Therefore think Satoshi created a mysteriously and inexplicably successful scam, and want to get in on the scamming.

Also, everyone who says “crypto” rather than “crypto currency” or “Bitcoin” is selling something he does not entirely understand. It is a tell, just as if someone writes CCP instead of CPC, you know he is either a shill, or immersed in our enemy’s bubble.

Crypto is the underlying technology, the hot stuff now being polynomal commits, snarks, and the equivalence between polynomial constraints and provable computation. Crypto currency is the key and central application of that technology, currently merkle trees and public broadcast channels, aka blockchains. So anyone who says “crypto” rather than “crypto currency” probably does not understand what Satoshi was up to, and is therefore not really interested in accomplishing what Satoshi intended. Not necessarily a shill, but unlikely to be a useful ally in the forthcoming crypto and crypto currency conflicts.

Neurotoxin says:

“if someone writes CCP instead of CPC, you know he is either a shill, or immersed in our enemy’s bubble.”

Huh?

Jim says:

Everyone who says “CCP” is both making an attack on the CPC, and endorsing what Stalin called “left wing communism”. They are not necessarily aware of it, it may just be that the mainstream media says “CCP” all the time, but it pisses off the Chinese. If you do a google search, or talk to an AI, it will systematically replace CPC with CCP, or just completely fail to report any Chinese Communist Party information, in a way that indicates deliberate censorship, as when one attempts a google search of Chinese English language official media.

The made in China Deepseek returns “Chinese Communist Party” as the first hit for CPC, but other search engines and AIs just go strangely brain dead, refuse to talk to you, or just flat out lie even if you type in the full name “Communist Party of China”. You get hit by obvious crimethought responses just as much as when asking about the red pill or the Ukraine. If you persist you are likely to get a lecture telling you not to say “Communist Party of China”, much as certain questions always elicit a lecture on respecting women, rather than anything relevant to the question.

Similarly, CPC and “communist party of China” works in made in Russia Yandex Search. It brings up the links that you would expect.

If you reference the Communist Party of China by its official English language name that it has always used in all English language stuff that it issues directly, or is issued by sources under its control, something very weird ensues. It is as if you asked how to make improvised high explosives. Have not tried Grok yet. Let us see how an AI optimised for truth performs.

The Cominator says:

I’ve always used CCP because I’ve just always seen it that way. Guess I’ll change that.

Neurotoxin says:

My goodness, that’s arcane. If I ever say “Chinese Communist Party” please don’t think I’m a shill, LOL.

ChiComs it is.

Neurotoxin says:

OMG, I just tested this out of curiosity. It’s amazing: I typed
Communist Party of China
into Google and the first hit is the Wikipedia article titled,
Chinese Communist Party.

Someone out there really does care about this terminology!

Pilgrim says:

This is something that Jim has commented about in the past concerning certain shills. If I recall correctly, “CPC” emphasizes the ideological Communism from which the Party came, linking the ideas of Marx directly to the failure of Mao’s government and, by implication, the embarrassing (for Marxists) market reforms of Deng. “CCP”, on the other hand, implies a fallen and heretical “Chinese Communism” which is not “truly” connected to the pure, Platonic ideals of the Marxists and the founders of the Party. The implication here is that leftist agents, including the mainstream media and shills, cannot use a term connecting the ideas of past leftists to a high-profile catastrophe of leftism even in such a parsimonious way.

John McAfee, Aaron Swartz, Kim Dotcom, Julian Assange, Gonzalo Lira, and now Roger Ver. All deluded fools for thinking that any government will play fair and respect your human rights when you piss them off.

The Cominator says:

Don’t think McAfee had that delusion I think he didn’t give a shit. He had a fantastic life of hedonism just hookers and drugs (but apparently he switched them up well enough to not burnout quickly) all the time for a couple decades andI think he was just ready to checkout on a high note before his dick and other shit started failing.

Coach redpill underestimated the malevolence (and how they even wanted to stomp on small fries) of the Biden administration. Normally even bad totalitarian terror states don’t just murder foreign citizens (especially from allied countries) they just deport them but quite obviously Newland Blinken someone like that okayed his murder.

Bix Nudelmann says:

BTW, its “Trump Restoration” now, according to the elder normiecons.

Jim says:

> Trump Restoration

A delicate ambiguity between merely saying Trump’s second term, and referencing the original Restoration.

If the original Restoration, a change in the men providing Congressional security, tanks in Harvard, and a purge of the judiciary coming right up.

When someone engages in such delicately deniable ambiguities, a good rule of thumb is that if they actually meant the innocuous thing, they would not be ambiguous about it.

Alf says:

Musk defines the Trump restoration as a counter-revolution to the Obama years.

So, a return to 90’s leftism.

To be fair, they’re giving all sorts of mixed signals about what they want to return to, probably because it is still up in the air and no one really knows what will come next. But that uncertainty is going to be the long-term problem with Thermidor.

The Cominator says:

Bullshit hes saying that because of his Thermidorean allies, the fact that they are very very clearly following the Yarvin plan means they plan to go far beyond that generally. Its POSSIBLE that they intend after they establish the Yarvin imperial presidency (with all enemy institutions gutted) to also set the SOCIAL cultural feeling to some fascimile of the idea of an eternal 1980s (MUCH more appealing then the 90s was) through extreme repression of any would be leftists but 1990s leftism is not what they intend to return to.

Jim says:

> Musk defines the Trump restoration as a counter-revolution to the Obama years.

That is Maga. Musk is flashing all the symbols of Dark Maga.

Maybe that is just him having fun. Or maybe he is dog whistling.

Trump came to power by Thermidor. And all Thermidor wants is a slightly less evil and insane leftism, leftism with a few of the unprincipled exceptions that made it tolerable restored.

Historically, the way this has panned out is that radical left will not surrender to a slightly less evil and insane leftism, and Thermidor lacks the moral authority to crush them. Even if the guy at the top wants to crush them, his minions feel guilty about crushing those holier than their very holy selves, and as the crushing filters down the system, it gets diluted. So the wobbly leader, who urgently needs his enemies crushed, even if he feels a bit guilty about doing so, recruits a minion with absolutely no qualms about crushing them, because he views them as a bunch of evil treasonous hateful demon worshippers. And that minion recruits a bunch of minions who feel similarly, and get stuck into their leaders enemies, in ways the leader does not entirely want to know about.

When Musk says “Dark Maga” he is saying he is that minion. When he says “counter revolution to Obama”, he is saying he is not.

Well, which is he? Perhaps he himself does not know.

But 1990s leftism could not reach the moon, it is not going to colonise mars. And it certainly is not going to restore successful reproduction.

Jim says:

That Trump has been Napoleon posting suggests he has been reading his history. If we have some history buffs in the administration, “restoration” likely means 1660.

Karl says:

At least for Germans (and think most Europeans) Restauration is the time after the Napoleonic wars when various monarchies were reestablished

dharmicreality says:

Trump has stated that the $21 million funding to USAID India was for election interference and to get “somebody else” elected instead of Modi. Big news in India at the moment, and further confirms what Jim was saying for a long time.

Trump is doing what was unimaginable a few months back: Dismantling the GAE apparatus thoroughly.
