    Since Trump and Biden launched the tech and trade wars with China, I have written several essays arguing that Beijing should pursue a full decoupling with the US for national security and economic competitiveness reasons.

    Right... So the triads helped the US and Brits in Operation Yellowbird in 1989 to smuggle dissidents out of Mainland China into Hong Kong because they work for the CPC... You people are plain stupid trolls.

    Replies: @FTB

    Not sure about the triads but the Big Circle Gang were started by former Red Guards who escaped from China to Hong Kong under British rule then spread throughout the other parts of the world.The British cops told the Mainland Chinese gangsters they’ll look the other way if they stick with running whorehouses and gambling because it was safer for the cops than getting into shootouts with trained gunmen who were armed with AKs and grenades.

    By the way, I heard that back in the 1980s or 1990s, the Big Circle Gang in Hong Kong use to take the pajeets who were security guards hostages while robbing jewelry stores and the triads used Sikhs as low level errand boys for street level drug retail and to sell counterfeit products.

    As far as gangster regimes go, this American Born Chinese did a vlog where a gang affiliated actor claims over 150 of the politicians in Taiwan have gang affiliations and prior convictions for criminal charges.

    But, yeah. If I remember my Cold War history, the CIA worked with the Sicilian mafia, the triads, renegade KMT armies in SE Asia, opium growers in Turkiye and the Corsicans AKA French Connection in running international dope rings. All that was covered by Professor Alfred McCoy in Politics of Heroin in SE Asia.

    Well all the Chinese gangs whether in Hong Kong or Taiwan or South East Asia got there from Mainland China. But the point I was making to that troll was that they mainly fled Mainland China after the communists took over. Sure they had links to CPC officials they bribed - but they were mainly all enemies of the communists. Organized gangs are about money..
    But yeah the PRC just sentenced 16 to death in the past couple of weeks who were running rackets in Myanmar. They had forced labor and even killed people. The PRC repatriated them from Myanmar and put them on trial. One of the gang leaders was a female. She got the death sentence too. Organized gangs try to stay far from the PRC... That guy was just a troll.

    To be fair, the British military had figured out the primacy of AirPower.

    RDF and the Merlin engine were ultimately supremacy weapons. The Germans never got beyond the idea of a tactical airforce. All the best minds in the UK were focussed on Aerial Supremacy and the command n control that goes into coordinating it.

    How did it figure out the nuts n bolts of that in the 1930s? Bombing Arabs.

    Yes, logistics give China an overwhelming edge. The country has what the military people call "interior lines of communication" (I think); these would be difficult to cut. And of course, China's transportation network is unrivalled; it can concentrate massive force wherever that is needed.

    The Middle Kingdom has two other large advantages.

    First, China would be defending. Standard military doctrine gives defense a major edge, especially if the defender has more manpower, more ability to manufacture weaponry, and better logistics -- and China has all these in abundance.

    Second, the US would be overextending itself across half the world. The Korean War showed what would happen: the US was lucky to escape with a draw -- against a China weakened by its own civil war, which ended just a year before the Korean conflict started. These days, the Americans would fare badly against a healthy and prepared Middle Kingdom -- even if their supply lines across the vast Pacific were not cut (and I am sure that China would cut them).

    While China most likely lacks the inclination and offensive capability to invade Japan, there’s nothing Japan can do to stop swarms of Chinese missiles from devastating their major ports and population centers if things go hot.
     
    China's missiles could also devastate all the airfields in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan -- simultaneously. Americans like to brag about having thousands of F-35s, but they would be useless if there were no nearby airfields from which to take off or land.

    China could also block Japan from buying food. In 2020, the island nation grew just 37% of its calories (link); it bought the rest. Starvation is quite possible if Japan joined the US in attacking China.

    South Korea is likewise vulnerable to North Korea’s missile and artillery assets.

    Worse, the supply chains for a modern agricultural system -- tractors, tractor fuel, fertilizers -- will be destroyed. Those who survive the nuclear strikes will starve. Those who do not starve quickly will succumb eventually, as most people have forgotten the skills needed for muscle-power farming.

    My .02? IRL, Pax Americana’s huge advantage will be it’s globe spanning fleet of submarines which can theoretically interdict all Chinese ocean supply routes outside of the PLA’s A2/AD net.
     
    Not if China and/or Russia destroy the US' submarine bases. Even nuclear-powered submarines need food and new torpedoes. Perhaps they could rob the food from some impoverished Pacific island. More torpedoes would be harder to acquire, especially if all torpedo factories are in ruins.

He lost a fair amount of the pro British Hong Kong crowd when he boldly declared he was a Chinese man and proud in 1997 that Hong Kong returned to the mother land.

    Will Chinese weapon devlopment force the US to enter into round after round of military weapon race?
     
    We are already seeing this, for at least 20 years now, since USA re-launched the nuclear arms race, taking China especially by surprise and forcing them into emergency defense spending to ramp up their own arsenal to prevent a USA decapitating first strike.

    The issue of course is that Russia and China (and Iran) are in an arms race to defend their countries from USA aggression, while USA is in the arms race to develop offensive weapons that can overcome Russia and China's defenses.

    Except what happens if Russia and/or China get tired of always defending against mindless aggression from USA, and decide to take the war to USA proper? USA spends nothing on actual defense, has no real defense against common weapons Russia and China are known to possess in abundance.

    We may be coming to a point where everyone agrees that in the interests of world peace and prosperity, USA and psychopathic sidekick Israel have to be taken out. That will come when the economic fallout of the destruction of USA wouldn't seriously affect China's future rise. And that point is almost here.

    Japanese know how to rise but not how to fall:

    Though Japanese culture puts great emphasis on responsibility and obligation, its too-great-an-emphasis-on-shame has created a false sense of honor that has prevented the development of true maturity. A mature person strives for higher things but also has the grace and honesty to admit when he’s reached his limit, lost, or fallen. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, but when you’re beat, you’re beat. You have to learn to accept defeat.

    Now, just look at Japan’s handling of WWII. They couldn’t handle defeat though the writing was on the wall. It took two nukes and the Sublime Russian liberation of Dongbei, to make them surrender. Defeat was so anathema and shameful to Japan that there was the serious likelihood that all-Japanese would commit mass-suicide with the emperor than admit defeat.

    No wonder McCarthur called Japan an immature nation.

    Now, fast forward to Tokyo Olympics of 1964 which was supposed to celebrate the revival of Japan as a democratic nation. Yet, when the dwarf Japanese judo wrestler lost the all-around title to some a bigger Dutch guy, the whole nation was crying and babbling like babies. Worse, the judo dude committed suicide. And the Japanese marathoner who came in third place, hardly disgraceful committed suicide too. Many Japanese regarded these suicides as acts of honor or self-atonement, but they are really acts of immaturity inoculated by a culture that has little tolerance or understanding for the human condition.

    Win some, lose some, and take things in stride; that is the mature way. Over-emphasis on win-win and obey-obey leads to the kind of collective immaturity that not only led to the suicides of those athletes but collective appreciation of them as something half-decent. No wonder so many Japanese salarymen cannot face the fall from status.

    Same anti-humanist pathology.

    That goes a long way to explaining why after four years of tactical victories but strategic stalemate in China, Tokyo decided to lash out at us with December 7th in a desperate bid to knock us out of the game as they conquered the Dutch and British colonies in SE Asia.

    All in a gambit to seize the resources that we had cut them off from in order to break the stalemate in China so they could create their East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and conquer the USSR’s Far Eastern Provinces.

    China and Russia's weapons relationship was hit or miss. It pretty much stopped during the Sino Soviet split. The Soviets sold China subs and were helping it develop nukes. Then they had a falling out and China had to develop nukes and ballistic missiles on it's own and then because it couldn't get any more subs had to learn to build its own. Then toward the collapse of the Soviet Union - because they desperately needed money - they began selling basically all weapons systems to China. China doesn't pretend that their weapons overall were inferior to the Soviets at that point. So yes infamously after buying Su-27 and 30 by the hundreds - China began making it's own J-11. But after a while Russia realized it was futile because China was advancing so rapidly. So rather than cut China off - it sold them S-300 systems and Kilo class subs. They realized China would soon reach a point they didn't need them anymore -- so might as well make as much money as possible. So by 2010 China wasn't really buying Russian weapons anymore. The exception is they bought 24 Su-35's and 2 batallions of S-400's. The volumes show those are token purchases... But nonetheless they felt they had something to learn. There are no new systems China buys from Russia. Nor are most of their new systems related to older Russian designs. The HQ9 is based on the S300 still - yes. The J-16 is based on Su still - but most neutral observers will say the J-16 is more advanced and capable than the Su-35... Other than that - not much still holds those old lineages. Though some years ago Putin did announce that Russia would help China develop new submarines and an early missile warning system - because China admittedly still lagged in those 2 areas. Putin again was of the opinion that since China will eventually figure it out on it's own - better to make some money now. Meanwhile - while China doesn't buy weapons from Russia anymore - actual Russia-China trade is at an all time high... Many thanks to sanctions against Russia.

    The J-10 from what is most understood were designed from plans that China got from Israel.... The US didn't want Israel to sell to China - so the plans for that potential plane (never released) were sold to China. Not a copy... No more than McClaren buying a Porsche 911 to study it on how to compete to built their newest car. Very common in the auto industry.

    In the USSR - there problem wasn't that the weapons cost too much. The problem was the economy was not efficient enough and so couldn't keep up with the arms race with the US. So the military ate up too much of the budget not because of bloat but because of a weakened and unproductive economy. The weapons right up to the collapse of the USSR were still very affordable compared to the west and very capable. Look at the Su-27/30/35. Outperforms the F15. Still costs less. Of course Russia had to rebuild the whole defense industry - but Russian weapons today are pound for pound MUCH more cost effective than NATO ones...

    As to China... Well based on the amount of military brass who have gone to prison in the past decade for graft and bribery -- I wouldn't expect Raytheon.... Weapons developers are state owned in China

    IIRC, China began manufacturing it’s indigenous designs by the 1980s. Was keenly aware of this in the small arms field though I’m sure it encompassed the entire spectrum of military hardware,

    I recall when they announced the phasing out of their Type 56 /Kalashnikov line of service rifles and replaced it with the Type 81 which was an upgraded SKS (which had far superior intrinsic accuracy than the AK) that came with a pistol grip, detachable box magazine and, strangely enough, an adjustable sleeve on the gas tube that was only found on the FN/FAL line of battle rifles.

    During that period, Norinco also made many copies of American and Western weapons like the M1911, Uzis and the M1As along with their COMBLOC designs like the various AK and SKS configurations as well as their own copies of the Takarev and Makarov handguns. They even made an AK variant in 5.56 so we could feed them with domestically made ammo since all 7.62×39 had to be imported back then and availability was still uncommon.

    All of those were hot selling items here in the U.S. and most of them enjoyed a positive reputation except the M1As which had problems with the heat treatment on the forged receivers. We later had the same problems of fragility with the American made Springfield Armory M1As which switched to investment cast receivers as a cost saving measure.

    But the Rolls Royce of Chinese imports was the Polytech Legend Series of Kalashnikovs which sold for around $500. back in the ’80s and has quadrupled in value now.

    Too bad George Bush Sr. banned the import of Chinese weapons back before I was old enough to buy or own them.

  • Will Chinese weapons work in a real war? Of course, as pointed out here, it would be folly to bet against them but who knows. Certainly if China ever enters a large-scale hot war against a peer enemy, there will be many initial glitches and mistakes and failures to integrate the systems – there always are (remember the initial days of the US army in WWI and WWII). It’s how fast they adapt that matters.

    It’s also worth noting that countries with long military experience have an edge that lasts long after their nominal power has faded, due to institutional intelligence. Britain is now a third rate military power aspiring to be second rate, but the skill of the British leadership at using their existing assets should not be underestimated. A lot of the nasty tricks the Ukrainians have played on the Russians in Ukraine seem to have been run by the Brits.

    But I do point out that as the United States de-industrialized under the false mantra of ‘free trade’ (look up the “American System (economic plan)” on Wikipedia), we didn’t just lose the ability to mass produce most consumer level goods – we lost supply chains and research and design expertise. Do we really think that high-tech military products can exist in a vacuum? Couple this with the absolutely disgusting new economic mantra that “greed is good” and the consolidation of defense contractors, and the institutionalization of cronyism and corruption, sooner or later the United States may not be able to make much of anything military at all, no matter how many trillions of dollars we spend.

    On the eve of WW2, France had the most powerful military on paper. Both France and Great Britain also had way more experience and were purportedly more battle hardened from their decades of colonial bush wars than Germany’s “untried” military which, itself, had to learn from their early setbacks in Poland.

    In turn, the USSR was vastly underestimated by Hitler due to both Russia’s loss to Japan at the turn of the 20th Century as well as the horrific casualties the Red Army incurred in the Russo-Finnish War.

    As a SF veteran of our recent Afghan War turned armed conflict analyst – Bill Buppert of Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast and War Notes fame – is so fond of reminding us; the least incompetent side usually prevails.

    As the Russo-Ukraine War continues to demonstrate, we are entering into plenty of unknown territory as new forms of Space Based and AI driven ISR, EW, and the proliferation of Drones, Hypersonics, and Ballistic missiles have entirely changed the face of high intensity, conventional warfare.

    China is confident but not in my opinion overconfident. If the US attacked China, I am sure that China would win. Not only because the US's war games show that China would win; I've other reasons to think so, which I won't go into now.

    A US that sees defeat impending might be suicidal enough to launch its nukes. Thus the prevention of World War III is China's top priority. I still believe that that was the main purpose of last month's parade: deterrence against the US, not because the Chinese feel weak but because they emphatically do not want to risk the end of the world.

    There will be mistakes, undoubtedly. However, China's advantages are such that it can afford to make mistakes and still win. Not so much the US, which at the start of an attack on China would already be extended over half the world -- and that in itself would probably be a fatal mistake.

    The Sino-Russian Dragonbear alliance has solidified the foundations of the rapidly emerging multipolar reorganization of world power.

    While the perpetual fence-straddlers in India and Turkey (and other lesser Asian powers) dance the vacillation jig they know so well, the formidable rising powers in North Korea and Iran have cast their lot where they must in order to survive.

    This then is the order of battle.

    The only question is WHO, WHERE, and WHEN.

    Many in the US power structure concur with the British and the withering empty shell of western Europe: the Russians are the enemy that must be destroyed first, and then chopped into pieces for the “civilized world” to consume at its leisure.

    Others remain convinced the Chinese are, far and away, the greatest threat to American hegemony and the “rules-based international order”. Sina delenda est!

    Yet others, the advocates of “Greater Israel” among them, are determined to make Iran the chosen war, the prize of which would be dominant control over Persian Gulf energy production and exports.

    There is a cold, hard logic to the latter option, because if Iran can be neutralized as the third-leg in the Eurasian trade and currency bloc, Chinese access to Persian Gulf energy can be severed, along with Russian access to the Indian Ocean via the International North-South Transport Corridor.

    Completely untrue.

    China didn’t enter the WTO until 1999.

    Nixon’s visit to China in 1972 was to capitalize on the Sino-Soviet schism after the 1969 border clashes to use China to divert the Red Army’s attention away from the Fulda Gap which would have been the opening salvo of WW3 between the Soviets/Warsaw Pact and U.S./NATO.

    To the extent that the U.S. wanted any economic ties with China, it couldn’t have happened under Mao and their economic reforms didn’t even happen until Mao’s successor, Deng Xiao Ping, took power and started privatizing sectors of their economy in the 1980s.

    This has been well understood by everyone for fifty years.

    100% false.

    In the 1970s and 1980s, the electronics and automobiles industry were offshored to Japan. Old brands like Sanyo, Sony, Toshiba, Datsun, Isuzu etc. that were staples on American store shelves and auto showrooms – were all made in Japan.

    There were also substantial products made in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mexico during that era.

    As I posted above, by the late 1980s, Japan’s growing economic parity with us also sparked rumors of unfair trade practices on the part of Japan and even talk of imminent armed conflict.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_War_with_Japan

    From the link:

    Friedman and LeBard argue in the book that, with the USSR in a state of collapse and with the Cold War coming to a close at the time, the United States was more likely to come into conflict with Japan as the US no longer had sufficient reason to tolerate what the authors believed to be Japanese economic encroachment. Friedman and LeBard predicted that a series of trade wars between the US and Japan would lead to a final rupture between the two countries.[7] The authors also expressed the view that, as with Imperial Japan in the 1930s and 1940s, Japan would seek to take control of sources of raw materials and force the US out of the western Pacific.[4][8] The authors saw the only alternative to a hot war between the US and Japan as being a “long, miserable cold war”.[9]

    The authors also made predictions about Europe, predicting that by 1992 European integration would lead to the US being “pushed out of” markets in Europe and the USSR.[10] Friedman and LeBard further predicted that this would lead to isolationism and “Japan-bashing” being adopted by candidates in the 1992 US presidential elections, leading to a drive to exclude Japanese imports from the US market.[11]

    Friedman and LeBard believed that the Japanese armed forces could be expanded rapidly into “a world-class military force”. They also considered that Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution was only a “legal fiction” and would not prevent Japanese rearmament or aggression.[12] To meet this perceived threat, Friedman and LeBard proposed that the US Navy be kept at its 1991 size, and the US Marine Corps be doubled in size, with this being paid for by cuts to the US Army and strategic forces.[13]

    Friedman and LeBard expected that a conflict between Japan and America would unfold within “a generation” and that the world would “settle into a new cold war before a hot war threatens”.[14][13] They predicted that the casus belli would be the shutting off of supplies of raw materials to Japan by US action.[12] A map accompanying the book portrayed the Asia-Pacific region as being divided into US and Japanese spheres of influence by the year 2000, with Indonesia, North Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Burma portrayed as Japanese allies, whilst Taiwan, Australia, Singapore, and South Korea were portrayed as being in the US sphere of influence, with other territories (including China, Vietnam, Mongolia, the Philippines, Laos, and Cambodia) being marked as “contested”.[15]

    The original book jacket of the book stated that “conflict will escalate in the next two decades to include the possibility—indeed probability—of an armed conflict, a second US–Japanese war in the Pacific”.[16] Later editions replaced this statement with positive reviews.[17]

    FTB, I agree here, but besides the timeline - it was indeed shorter, closer to 30 years than 55 - I agree with Mr. QCIC also. I was around and seeing all this as it happened.

    I can remember Ross Perot, in his strong 3rd-Party '92 Presidential run, talking about that "giant sucking sound" as manufacturing leaves this nation. He was referring to Mexico. However, the selling out of manufacturing expertise and capability to China was not far behind, just a handful of years.

    With regards to Japan, I remember all the worry then too. "They're buying up Times Square (Good luck with all that!), and they'll own half the country!" They had a "lost decade" in a way, financially, and though they still are very big in the auto industry and lots of quality manufacturing, they don't own US. People will say "same story with China, don't worry". I tell them to check population numbers. It's a factor of 10. One thing the China boosters here ARE right about is that China's REAL economy (not the GDP of lawyers suing other lawyers) is larger than ours.

    There are similarities between the economic recovery of Japan and the rebirth of China, but contemporary discussions of armed conflict between Japan and the USA were rabble rousing (click bait) and could not be taken seriously by a careful reader.

    One aspect of the post WW2 economic recovery is the following progression. The dates are suggestions.

    - Recovery of European industry (Marshall plan) [1945-75?]
    - Recovery of Japanese Industry (helped by US) [1960-90?]
    - Birth of Korean Industry (helped by Japan?) [1975-2010?]
    - Rebirth of Chinese Industry (helped by US and the West?) [1985-now?]

    - Indian industrial progress does not fit in very well.

    The movement of shipbuilding around the world tracks this progression and may be a good marker for the cost of industrial production in a country.

    Crushing of the Russian industrial base was intentional. [1985-2015]
    Hollowing out of the US industrial base also seems intentional. [2000-now?]

    To be fair, the U.S. has been framing and treating Russia as an enemy even longer.

    Since the USSR collapsed, the Western Powers have installed pliant puppets, marginalized and isolated it economically from the West, stirred up troubles in Armenia, Chechnya, Georgia, etc. all in a bid to fracture the Russian Federation into perpetual warring factions and plunder it’s vast natural resources.

    Yes, the West attempted the same thing in China. Especially, during the War Lord era of the 1920s.

    But in the case of Russia, this hostility is even more egregious since Russia has extended the hand of friendship even before we became a nation. During our Revolutionary War, the British had expressed interest in hiring Russian mercenaries but Tsarina Catherine the Great rebuffed their offer and chose to remain neutral.

    Seven decades later when the War Between the States broke out, Britain and France offered support to the secessionist CSA while Russia supported the Union to deter any serious intervention on the part of the Atlanticists.

    Fast forward to the final months of WW2 when the Soviets declared war on Japan, many American Generals, including MacArthur, breathed a sigh of relief and admitted that the Red Army’s entry had sparred us over a possible million casualties had we been forced to invade Japan’s main islands.

    Of course, that was before any of them knew about the impending atomic bombings.

    Even so, in the months after Japan’s surrender, elements within the US Executive Branch were already scheming to launch an eventual atomic nuclear attack on all major populations of the USSR in an attempt to eliminate them as a potential rival power.

    Yes, these days, the ruling cabal aspires to bring about the collapse of China and cause it to be dismembered as they had done to numerous other countries within the last 80 years. Blackwater’s Founder Erik Prince and global financier Erik Bethel even admitted as much in a recent interview with Shaw Ryan.

    But my main point being that if it wasn’t China, it would have been some other rising power being painted as a threat or boogyeman du jure if it threatened to reach parity or overtake us.

    Case in point. When Japan’s economy was rising and threatening to reach economic parity with us in the. 1980s, there were plenty of fearmongering among the Bankers calling for war with Japan under the guise of speculative analysis.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_War_with_Japan

    The only reason there has been so much attention focused on creating an enemy out of China is because Washington has squandered it’s Unipolar moment of being the world’s sole superpower by exporting color revolutions, coups, civil wars, and engaging in nonstop expeditionary military wars aboard to enrich the Bankers.

    Three decades later, the pedophile, greedy war pigs in D.C. are confronted with both China and Russia returning to their traditional status as great civilization states on the world stage. At a time when the aggressive foreign policy of the rogue state in D.C. has made up the most hated nation in the world.

    See this column from 2013.

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/03/fred-reed/the-view-from-abroad/

    This rabid warmongering is not only a sign of panic in Washington of becoming increasingly irrelevant in world affairs but they are also scared shitless of becoming increasingly hated by the American populace who are reminded every day that this government does not represent them or their interests. And, in fact, is openly hostile to us.

    Just peruse YouTube and see how many voices on the right are not buying the official story about Charlie Kirk’s killing.

    Or the anger expressed by the younger generations of right wingers over the Zionist occupation of all our public and private institutions.

    In that respect, they also have much in common with an older generation of saner voices who realize that Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, etc. are only our “enemies” because the powers that be have decreed it so.

    I am in full agreement with you.

    The animosity against Russia is old. And it is not even American. As you mentioned,it was the Brits who became alarmed at Russia's rapid expansion under the Tsars and sought to contain it under their Great Game. They only felt this way because they regarded their Empire as the pre-eminent one and sought to keep every other rival down.

    After being defeated by the nascent USA, the Brit elites and their hook nosed allies decided to change tact and stealthily transform their empire into the USA empire instead. And that is what we have today.

    It is ironic that the ordinary American doesn't really want any part of this empire. It is just that Joe Sixpack simply doesn't know any better. He has been programmed by insidious elements of the Edward Bernays kind to support whatever the US government does, even if it so save poor oppressed brown people by dropping Democracy Bombs on them.

    Greatness and Ruin: Self-Reflection and Universalism within European Civilization Paperback – March 28, 2025 by Ricardo Duchesne (Author)

    This is from an essay posted here on the Unz Review by Duchesne a year or so ago.

    The liberal West, the most accomplished civilization in history, the progenitor of all the disciplinary fields of knowledge, including the greatest musicians, painters, furniture designers, writers of children’s books, mathematicians, philosophers, is now decomposing before our eyes. It is not that societies in the past did not have huge problems of their own, starting with generalized poverty, endemic violence, mass illiteracy and few opportunities for individual expression. It is not that the modern liberalism has been a failure from its inception. To the contrary: it has been responsible for rule of law, freedom of the press, open scientific inquiry, equality of civic rights, relatively peaceful resolution of political conflict, and sustained capitalist growth characterized by the efficient allocation of scarce resources and satisfaction of consumer choice. What makes the internal decay of liberalism substantially different from prior civilizational declines is that it is a product of the progressive actualization of its moral ideals in recent decades, the removal of every obstacle or traditional norm standing in the way of the actualization of equal freedom, the promotion of cultural and racial pluralism via mass immigration, and the deconstruction of biological identities for the sake of unmitigated sexual and racial expressionism.

    The result has been the creation of a contemporary Western world characterized by: i) permanent racial discord coupled with relentless anti-white campaigns in schools and media; ii) collapse of the institution of marriage along with the demonization of maleness and the celebration of transsexualism and child grooming; iii) high levels of inequality since the 1970s/80s despite massive growth in government spending; iv) decline of trust and community cohesion, isolation and anomie across society; v) erasure of the history of the liberal West itself, its heroes and its symbols; vi) a state of complete paralysis in the face of the arrival of millions of violent migrants enticed by the principles of equal rights; and vii) suppression of open “Enlightenment” discourse in our universities and media to hide the reality that liberalism has failed for these reasons, and that there is indeed ample scientific evidence refuting its fundamental premise that all human beings are born naturally equal and that diversity ensures civil peace.

    The West has no choice but to find an alternative ideology. I believe it has to be some form of traditionalism, as Dugin has been arguing, a “fourth theory” beyond fascism, communism, and liberalism. It is called a “fourth theory” for it does not advocate specific principles and policies for mankind as such, but calls upon different cultures/civilizations in the world to find within themselves their own alternative paths to modernity. In the case of the West, transcending liberalism will be an immensely difficult task, however; for this ideology is epigenetically rooted in the psychology of whites, currently ensconced in every institution, advocated by almost every intellectual, and supported by global liberal capitalism. But a solution must be found or Europeans will perish as a world historical people.

    "... ample scientific evidence refuting its fundamental premise that all human beings are born naturally equal and that diversity ensures civil peace."

     

    While I'm not eager to play the game of defining labels, it must be said that liberalism in its original sense was coined to counter the claim of kings and monarchs that some people are born "royal" - i.e. better than thou - with privileges and titles extending to all their relatives, which of course is an entirely a nutty idea that nonetheless still prevails in Blighty and other backward places, as we saw over the weekend.

    But, not so long ago, monarchy was the reality for many of Earth's people.



    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Europe_map_1648.PNG/1280px-Europe_map_1648.PNG

    Traditionally, I think liberals stood - and still stand - between the communists on the far left, and the fascists (or royalists) on the far right. The old game continues "playing both sides against the middle."

    Now that the middle has been virtually eliminated, or chased into hiding, what remains are extremists on the left and right.

    But know this:

    Real Liberals always oppose war and special privileges for their elected officials.

That was complete bullshit as was that fucktard on CNN who stated the Mauser .30-06 used to kill Kirk could be broken down into compact components with a screwdriver in less than a second which can then be whisked away from the crime scene in a back pack.

    Sadly, most imbeciles who watch CNN don’t know shit about guns and the majority of the populace is incapable of clear thinking which is why we’re being fed a steady diet of bullshit by the TPTB.

Assuming the Gaza genocide isn’t making an impression because it’s far away and it’s brown people, then what about the constant school shootings, the endless random black murders? People are being murdered all over the place, and the explanations, if one is given at all, tend to be completely meaningless.”

    99.9% of dead people will not be remembered 6 months after their death by anyone who wasn’t a family member or a close friend.

    Well, maybe the assassins aimed for the head or the breast, but missed?

    Could have been either. Assuming the killer had properly zeroed his sights and accurately estimated the distance:

    1) he could have pulled the shot low while aiming for the head

    2) or failed to take into account the deviation between line of sight distance and compensating for actual distance (horizontal component distance) which would have resulted in the impact going high if shooting from an elevated firing position.

    The BS keeps bothering me. The guy is going to college for a serious tech degree so is not stupid. He is not a frustrated loser but has plans for life.

    1. He knows there are cameras all around the campus. So his disguise is a ball cap and sunglasses?

    2. He didn't leave the rifle at the scene and walk away calmly. He spent a minute to disassemble it while on the roof and put it in a case, I suppose to make the investigation difficult. But then he leaves three bullets for that type of rifle at the scene?

    3. Most people know about simple hand engravers. The detailed engravings on the bullet casings must have been done with high tech machinery. Why would he bother, unless they were planted to blame trans crazies.

    4. He doesn't calmly walk away, but runs fast to draw attention and jumps off a roof risking serious injury. He doesn't dispose of the rifle, he leaves in the woods nearby where it is found immediately, and he had reassembled it!

    5. And it was a difficult shot! Not too far away, but Kirk was moving around and the shooter was very nervous. With no one watching his back so someone may appear on the roof at anytime or see him from another building and shout. Why do it at a big rally with security everywhere, and not at his hotel or near the airport?

    He spent a minute to disassemble it while on the roof and put it in a case,

    If it was the Mauser Bolt Gun shown by the Propaganda Organs, he’d need a helluva lot more time than a few minutes. Even if he had the tools to separate the receiver from the stock, removing the barrel from receiver itself is a long and involved process.

    And it was a difficult shot!

    Not at all. Even with a .45ACP fired from a 1911 pistol, I am able to hit man sized targets out to 150 yards when shooting from Rollover Prone.

    The report of the gun shot arrived a second – at most – after the bullet struck Kirk which indicates the shooter was probably less than 200 yards away. Which any shooter who has a firm grasp of the integrated act of firing a rifle from a staged and static firing position can pull off.

    My trouble with the official story (pick any of the ones being peddled) is if it was a .30-06 fired from ~200 yards or closer, there should have been an exit wound. Even if a frangible round like the 130GR Glaser Safety Slug was used, the impact would have resulted in way more damage.

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a huge amateur mistake today by visiting Israel as this summit was underway. Following the summit, Israel reportedly has launched a massive attack on Gaza City. The participants at this summit will likely interpret this as Donald Trump giving Israel permission to expand its campaign of genocide. It will reinforce the view of the members of the Arab-Islamic that Trump is weak and totally under the control of Bibi Netanyahu. Regardless of his intent, Rubio will be viewed as the guy who delivered Trump’s message to launch the offensive in Gaza City. Perception is reality, regardless of the actual facts.

    https://voxday.net/2025/09/15/nato-is-at-war-with-russia/

    “NATO is at war with Russia”

    No doubt this official observation will spark all sorts of denials from the various neocons and Eurocrats. And none of them will matter, because in the end, the only opinion that matters is Russia’s.

    For the very first time, the official spokesman for the Kremlin in Moscow, Dmitry Peskov has said publicly “NATO is at war with Russia.” This statement is a harbinger of dramatic and horrifying developments soon to come.

    It is vital to point out that for three and a half years, Peskov has NOT said this. The fact that he uttered these words over this past weekend, is no accident.

    Peskov is the official Spokesman for the Kremlin. He says exactly, precisely, what the Russian government wants said. He doesn’t embellish. He doesn’t take liberties with what he says. Never once in history has the Kremlin had to “walk-back” anything Peskov has said. The words that come out of his mouth are exactly, precisely what the Russian government intends to express.

    The fact that the Russian government is now openly saying “NATO is at war with Russia” holds all the severe implications any rational person would think, could stem from such a statement.

    And in truth, this is nothing more than a statement of the obvious. NATO is, and has been, at war with Russia since at least mid-2023. Russia’s patience in simply absorbing the economic and military attacks has been tremendous. But now that NATO’s proxy has been defeated, NATO isn’t doing what it should be doing and laying down its weapons, instead, it is doubling down and making preparations to fight Russia directly.

    Russia, it is now clear, will behave accordingly. And it is very unlikely that more than a few of the current European regimes are going to survive the experience, however tangential it might prove to be.

    And the European leaders know NATO is responsible for starting the NATO-Russian war. They’ve even admitted as much.

    French President Emmanuel Macron has privately admitted that NATO is the driving force behind the Ukraine conflict, prominent American economist Jeffrey Sachs has said. Macron, along with other Western leaders, has repeatedly claimed that Russia launched its military operation against Ukraine in 2022 without provocation and has insisted that Moscow is solely responsible for the conflict.

    However, speaking during a foreign policy debate with the Italian daily il Fatto Quotidiano, Sachs recalled that when Macron awarded him the Legion of Honor in May 2022, the French leader privately told him “exactly the opposite of what he says publicly” and admitted that “NATO was causing this war.”

    I know that you know much of east Asian history. Perhaps you didn't know of these. However, I doubt that I say anything that you didn't already know.

    Taiwan has a native population, and they are (or were) basically like pre-Islam malayan peoples. According to many anthropologists, the polynesian peoples originated in what is now Taiwan. Genetic studies now supposedly prove it.

    I can't imagine how the polynesians became so big.

    From about two thousand years ago, Han Chinese thrown out of China by dynastic changes in China began to settle in Taiwan.

    Likewise, it became a centre of pirtate ports.

    After some waves of Han entrants, the orignal population was largely confined away from the coasts.

    The Mongols tried to invade and failed.

    I think (but am not sure) that the Ming did administer the place.

    The Qing largely ignored the place. Some westere naval commander (post-Perry, IIRC) asked the Qing court about Taiwan.

    To paraphrase, the reply was 'we don't care about that place, it is full of bandits and pirates.'

    About thirty years later, in 1895, the Sino-Japanese war of the time erupted. At the end, Taiwan was part of the Japanese Empire.

    Most people there were not unhappy with that situation.

    It lasted for fifty years.

    I don't know much about Taiwanese history from the fall of Japan until the invasion by K.M.T. forces in 1948/9, but do know that the latter were opposed, and that the K.M.T. massacred many of those people at times.

    So, you have sharp divisions in Taiwan between K.M,T. arrivistes, Japan supporters (I suppose mainly dying off now), and weird 'we can't say it, but we want to', independence-minded ultra-liberals, LGBTQblah rainbow flags etc.

    Excuse, a capsule account, but I think given the number of words, both precise and concise.

    That reminds me of Wen Liu. This ugly dyke creature who is involved with Zero Day Attack; Taiwan’s speculative fiction of how they foresee a Chinese “invasion” of Taiwan playing out. Basically, a modern day DPP version of Red Dawn.

    I seriously wonder how other conservative Americans would think of fighting a mutually destructive war, one which many military and geopolitical analysts such as Col. Macgregor, thinks will end in defeat for us, if they knew they were fighting for a bunch of woke faggots, feminists and their odious cohorts which spawned from the same cesspool as the ones who begat all the trannie mass shooters that have been making headlines worldwide recently.

    A friend of mine, an expat American who owned a gym on Taiwan, got cancelled some years back because many fags had turned gyms into spots for random pick up spots and he had taken a stance against such ghastly practices at his gym since he wanted children to be bale to train there without being subjected to such obscenities.

    Him and his family received multiple death threats and his gym was subjected to scathing reviews. Much of it organized by other Western expats who were part of the LGBT coven.

    When eventual reunification occurs, I hope the KMT will overturn Taiwan’s same sex marriage laws and begin incarcerating all LGBT cretins for being sex offenders.

    I also don't know why you would need to ask why someone who committed murder is not meeting your expectations of rationality.

    But apart from that it is normal legal advice. Not sure how you have made it this far without watching some type of crime drama where that is explained.

    Even when on video they normally are advised to not cooperate if it is a serious charge. They can use the plea as part of a deal with the state since the trial is costly.

    Never Take the Ticket

    It would appear that Charlie Kirk’s conscience was belatedly catching up to him. But developing a conscience has consequences for any ticket taker.

    A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid.

    Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it.

    In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.

    According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.

    By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he described in an interview as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.”

    “He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized.

    Kirk was 18 years old when he launched TPUSA in 2012. From its inception, his career was propelled by Zionist donors, who showered his young organization with money through neoconservative outfits like the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He repaid his wealthy backers over the years by unleashing a relentless firehose of anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic diatribes, accepting propaganda trips to Israel, and sternly shutting down nationalist forces challenging his support for Israel during TPUSA event…

    Kirk was bombarded with infuriated text messages and phone calls from Netanyahu’s wealthy allies in the US, including many who had funded TPUSA. According to his longtime friend, the Zionist donors treated Kirk with outright contempt, essentially ordering him to fall back into line.

    Once you sell your soul, you can’t really expect the Devil to simply give it back to you upon request. The one expectation of the purchased man is that he will stay bought. That’s why it’s better to simply live in the knowledge that you’ll never have the material success that the Prince of This World offers the untalented and the insufficiently self-confident. Not all “successful” people are ticket takers, but others much more informed on the subject than I am estimate that 90 percent of them are.

    That history of hatred only started decades after Japan fully modernized by the late 19th Century.

    Before that, aside from about a half dozen wars over the course of ~1,400 years and some pirate raids by Chinese/Korean/Japanese corsair fleets based out of Japan, the relationship between the two were fairly cordial.

    At least from what's out there in the interwebs.

    I believe the quote I read in the 1980’s was something to the effect of…

    “If the Asian countries ever unite, then we in the West are doomed. Thank goodness, they hate each other more than they do us.”

    Naturally, as King of the West, I would do everything in my power to stoke that hatred and sow dissension. I would spread disinformation and secretly arm one or more parties.
     
    👆🏻That there is some serious projecting by the Zio-Anglo-American zero sum game mindset.

    Much like how much of the West was always terrified of good relations between a top tier European power like Germany having mutually beneficial relations with a titanic land power with vast and untapped natural resources like Russia. That pathological fear continues to this day as evidenced by the CIA/MI6s sabotage of the NordStream 2 pipeline.

    Reading some of the publications from the 20th Century to the more recent writings, a unified East Asian bloc was always less concerning than a Russian-Chinese-Indian alliance.

    Unfortunately, for the more rabid modern Western geopolitical planners who hijacked our once Constitutional Republic and metastasized it into being a hammer for their global empire, the formation of the Russian-Chinese led BRICS has become their worst nightmare come to life.

    'Why is Charlie Kirk a big deal?'

    Because the vast majority of White Americans have IQs so high, they think it's a good idea to keep making tin idols out of men (and women in rare cases) whom theyonly know anything about by a script.

    The above explains how dots like Ramaswamy, (who is literally an indian Obama) was somehow thought by White Americans to be a 'turd-hued champion' for their interests(!)

    Then after he showed his true colors in Obama-like fashion, a great number of Whites still venerated him even after he called Whites too lazy and stupid to work in advanced corporate jobs and called for their replacement by indians(!!)

    Then there is Kash Patel. Whites labeled him some kind of 'Pro-white super-cop' before he was even nominated or performed any legal functions.

    Then there are other examples, Tucker Carlson, Trump, Alex Jones, even Obama made the list when he first teleported into the presidential election.

    I remember when Charlie Kirk would not even mention the destruction of the American middle class.

    'Oh well, Charlie was murdered because he was about to 'switch sides'

    A dumbass who waits until cancer has ravaged 97% of their body to decide that they need to include their wife and kids in their will rather than some scheming mistress is the same difference.

    Ah. Thank you for your informed comment which was free from invective and slander.

    I will continue to disagree, because I believe that the Japanese character is and was formed by the Sea. They are an island people who are very familiar with and adept at seafaring. They build fine ships. They very quickly "got the point" of battleships and aircraft carriers and within 80 years of Admiral Perry's sailing into Tokyo Bay, they had responded by building first rate ships of the line.

    This ability, both to discern what is important and then to garner the relevant knowledge then to implement policy designed to achieve desired ends is evident in both the Japanese and Chinese people. Both are talented peoples. I was but dimly aware—having read of it years ago—of the hatred between them. I believe the quote I read in the 1980's was something to the effect of…

    I don't care for Anglin's politics but he can at least see that the 50 year strategy of Christianity 'n Capitalism talking heads telling their own lies will not beat the liberal menace. It just doesn't work.

    Con Inc is not a threat to the system and ultimately submits to the system. They aren't allowed to talk about race which is the real weakness of liberalism and can only advocate some combination of Christianity and minimal capitalism. Then they have no choice but to lie and exaggerate the ability of minimal capitalism. Well why isn't Africa a roaring success then? If capitalism is all you need to make a country?

    Anglin figured that out YEARS AGO and while his fans acting like Charlie Kirk was some White prophet that was mercilessly gunned down by Jews.

    Charlie Kirk made money by lining up liberally indoctrinated students and embarrassing them. Wow what a guy. Publicly embarrassing confused White students for profit. Does that stop the schools from churning them out? Of course not and the Con Inc talking heads in fact add their own layers of confusion by maintaining the lie that race doesn't exist.

    ZOG employed professional marksmen (positioned in another building) did the shooting.
    And these same marksmen took out Crooks.


    So how did this ZOG conspiracy talk a 20 year old into getting on a building and aiming a rifle at Trump?

    What is the point of even involving him? Why not just say the suspect escaped in the woods?

    Were local police involved in the conspiracy? The county was involved and had their own snipers. Which means they somehow had lifelong residents involved in a plot to kill Trump.

    Lone shooter is the more likely answer. His parents described him as mentally unstable and he was researching historical assassinations on his computer.

    Well UR readers, that just about sums up this apologist for Jewish depravity.
    According to JJJ, a lone gunman:

    1) Killed JFK/RFK/JFK Jr
    2) Orchestrated the 9/11 False Flag
    3) Perpetrated the attack on the USS Liberty
    4) Foisted the Covid Psyop on humanity

    I've never been in the Liberty or 911 conversations. Not once. Quote me or show everyone that once again you are unable to remember what posters here actually write and lazily project the complete opposite of your own opinions.

    On JFK I think it was a lone shooter and orchestrated by FDR. But I fully support further investigation and discussion. I haven't said anything about RFK.

    Unlike you I can handle nuanced opinion while you get on here like an obnoxious bar drunk and assumed everyone is as boringly one sided as yourself.

    The Charlie Kirk shooter already confessed he and matches the photo from the event. That is how is father identified him.

    Before you slobber out another DER JUDEN accusation why don't you explain the conspiracy and how Mossad got a 22 year old to show up and then lie about being the shooter.

    More evidence will come out backing the most obvious scenario so you should really just stop at this point and find a better Aussie hobby. You just can't handle the open forum. I completely avoid the 9-11 discussions and here you are claiming I am opinionated on the subject. It's just pathetic.

    ARs are nothing special. The .223 is a hyped-up trash round and someone shot in a vital area with almost any other cartridge out there will die just as fast. Stick one of those 30 round extended magazines into a 9mm pistol and you're equal to anyone with an AR-15 in terms of firepower and rate of fire if you wanna do a mass shooting. Cho at virginia tech proved that.

    You might have had a point against ARs on account of their greater practicable shooting range, because the .223 keeps a flat trajectory farther out than most rounds, but it's much farther out than a common mass shooter could be expected to aim with accuracy though, so whatever.

    That is incorrect and lazy NRA style defenses do not work in an open forum.

    A 223 round has about 1,089 pounds of energy at 100 yards.

    A 9mm round has 276 pounds at 50 yards. So a quarter of the energy at half the distance.

    The two rounds are not equal in a mass shooting. At 50 yards your odds of surviving a body shot from a 9mm is far higher than a 223.

    An AR can fire a lot of high powered rounds in a short amount of time. The wounds are devastating when compared to handgun bullets. You wouldn’t go to war with a 9mm.

    I don’t support banning them but I also don’t support intellectual dishonesty which I know is common by guns supporter that feel the need to be dishonest in order to preserve them. Well cry more.

    They're guns, not star trek phasers. Energy doesn't kill people.

    Kinetic energy is misunderstood and grossly overrated as a wounding factor. I'm not writing an essay just for you about the mechanisms of death by projectile wounds, but they're no different than the ones involved with stab wounds. They all come down to blood loss caused by tissue destruction, particularly of the vital organs, where the only important factors are the depth of penetration and the diameter of the permanent wound cavity being made, not secondary effects like "hydrostatic shock" (this is what you're alluding to, after all) from energy. The temporary wound cavity produced by muh foot-pounds of energy when a bullet penetrates living tissue, even if that bullet is going .223 velocity, is just that tissue being pushed aside but not actually destroyed. All this stuff and more was figured out long ago in tons of scientific studies commissioned by the FBI and by people like the international wound ballistics association. My post was not an "NRA style defense." You're repeating popular firearm myths and it's annoying.


    At 50 yards your odds of surviving a body shot from a 9mm is far higher than a 223.
     
    The 9mm actually holds the edge with it's greater diameter. If each bullet fully penetrates a vital organ you'll bleed to death a tiny bit faster from the 9 because the hole it makes is that much bigger.

    That's swell.

    And yet a deranged tranny recently bought one and killed some kids.

    So we have kooks that can buy AR-15s.

    Which makes your personal connections irrelevant to the point.

    Deranged trannies can cross state lines and buy them with cash. You don't contend that point, correct? They can go to states with no restrictions on personal sales and buy them with cash. Correct? Do you support that policy that the NRA defends?

    Hell, they won’t even sell to anyone who smokes weed or is hooked on painkillers because we hold ourselves to higher standards than the average normie who doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

    Yes they ask on the form if you have done any illegal drugs recently. A very advanced system.

    So no worries there. Maybe they should also ask if you plan on using it to shoot up a school.

    Think about it. 300 million privately owned firearms in the hands of ~ 90 million Americans, that we know of. Juxtapose that with 17,000 firearms related homicides – some of which are justified – is pretty good.

    Save your NRA speech. I support additional restrictions on AR purchases. I don't think an angry tranny that has been taking anti-depressants should be sold an AR. Feel free to disagree and side with the NRA who thinks they should be sold to 18 year olds and without any requirements that they have a clean psychiatric record.

    Libertarians support selling M-249s to felons. I can cite their platform directly if you think I am making that up. They want zero federal restrictions on firearm purchases. That would mean that DaShawn the 10 time felon can go buy a full auto M-249 from a sports store on the day he gets out of prison. Do you agree with that policy?

    Also, your fixation on the AR’s lethality is imbecilic. That crazy asshole, Charles Whitman, who shot up Austin from the UOT campus tower

    Kind of funny how you have to cite a case from 1966 to show something comparable.

    The AR-15 can kill a lot of people very quickly. Much faster and easier than a bolt action used by Whitman. That was a marine who could have killed even more people with a semi-auto.

    Yes I realize you think gun owners should engage in NRA style intellectual dishonesty where we pretend these guns are all the same.

    Well I don't. I can hold an AR-15 in one hand and pepper a 50 yard target with 20 rounds in about 5 seconds. It isn't comparable. It's easy to shoot and can fire a lot of rounds in a very short time.

    The fact of the matter is that Dave Smith (like the vast majority of Ron Paul libertarians), is extremely knowledgeable on things related to U.S foreign policy, economic and geopolitical matters etc.
    I’ve seen DS involved in many an exchange and NO ONE has got the better of him – not even close.

    Yes and they originally set a limit on rights in the constitution to land owning White men.

    So get off your soapbox as you are repeating a conservative argument that quietly uses a revised version of the constitution and not the original. The founders would not have supported guns for everyone just as they did not support citizenship for everyone. Jefferson would think modern libertarians are retarded.

    By and large, this is true, but it's also immaterial. Many founders didn't support a great many things they eventually agreed to accept. The unfettered right to keep and bear arms had just enough supporters to get its opponents to swap their opposition for the nine votes needed to ratify the proposed Constitution. To the limited extent that any constitutional protection isn't a dead letter, the deal, not the horse trading that produced it, is what matters now.

    Why Did it Have to be ... Guns?

    by L. Neil Smith
    [email protected]

    Over the past 30 years, I've been paid to write almost two million words, every one of which, sooner or later, came back to the issue of guns and gun-ownership. Naturally, I've thought about the issue a lot, and it has always determined the way I vote.

    People accuse me of being a single-issue writer, a single- issue thinker, and a single- issue voter, but it isn't true. What I've chosen, in a world where there's never enough time and energy, is to focus on the one political issue which most clearly and unmistakably demonstrates what any politician -- or political philosophy -- is made of, right down to the creamy liquid center.

    Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

    If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

    If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

    What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

    If he doesn't want you to have the means of defending your life, do you want him in a position to control it?

    If he makes excuses about obeying a law he's sworn to uphold and defend -- the highest law of the land, the Bill of Rights -- do you want to entrust him with anything?

    If he ignores you, sneers at you, complains about you, or defames you, if he calls you names only he thinks are evil -- like "Constitutionalist" -- when you insist that he account for himself, hasn't he betrayed his oath, isn't he unfit to hold office, and doesn't he really belong in jail?

    Sure, these are all leading questions. They're the questions that led me to the issue of guns and gun ownership as the clearest and most unmistakable demonstration of what any given politician -- or political philosophy -- is really made of.

    He may lecture you about the dangerous weirdos out there who shouldn't have a gun -- but what does that have to do with you? Why in the name of John Moses Browning should you be made to suffer for the misdeeds of others? Didn't you lay aside the infantile notion of group punishment when you left public school -- or the military? Isn't it an essentially European notion, anyway -- Prussian, maybe -- and certainly not what America was supposed to be all about?

    And if there are dangerous weirdos out there, does it make sense to deprive you of the means of protecting yourself from them? Forget about those other people, those dangerous weirdos, this is about you, and it has been, all along.

    Try it yourself: if a politician won't trust you, why should you trust him? If he's a man -- and you're not -- what does his lack of trust tell you about his real attitude toward women? If "he" happens to be a woman, what makes her so perverse that she's eager to render her fellow women helpless on the mean and seedy streets her policies helped create? Should you believe her when she says she wants to help you by imposing some infantile group health care program on you at the point of the kind of gun she doesn't want you to have?

    On the other hand -- or the other party -- should you believe anything politicians say who claim they stand for freedom, but drag their feet and make excuses about repealing limits on your right to own and carry weapons? What does this tell you about their real motives for ignoring voters and ramming through one infantile group trade agreement after another with other countries?

    Makes voting simpler, doesn't it? You don't have to study every issue -- health care, international trade -- all you have to do is use this X-ray machine, this Vulcan mind-meld, to get beyond their empty words and find out how politicians really feel. About you. And that, of course, is why they hate it.

    And that's why I'm accused of being a single-issue writer, thinker, and voter.

    But it isn't true, is it?

    Greetings and Salutations!
    Hoo Boy
    There’s no coming back from what happened today.
    Even some of the most Libtarded Reps and Voices out there are in a full-fledged panic over this assassination.

    Charlie Kirk was one on the nicest, most centrist of all supposed ‘Right Wing Commentators’. In fact he was pretty fucking milquetoast by my standards. From all reports even BEFORE this hit (and yes, it WAS a hit) almost EVERYONE said he was a genuinely nice guy.

    Now?
    He’s fucking dead at the hands of -someone-
    We have ZERO intel on the shooter
    We don’t even know if he was legit caught or not.
    He was a rooftop sniper.
    That’s all they have so far.

    Now… it’ll be interesting to see just who they come up with as a shooter. Kirk had a lot of nutjobs who hated on him out there, in particular the Trannies whom he took serious issue with vis-a-vis his Christian Beliefs and his stating frequently and very publically that transgenderism was and is a serious mental illness.

    IF this was a trannie, I fully expect them to bury this so hard and so deep it’ll make all my previous jokes about the “Memory Hole” look pale by comparison…

    As Ben from the former ‘Suspicious Observer’ now “SpaceWeatherNews” YouTube channel would call it, a Black Hole Singularity (probably)

    Right now even NormieCons have had it…
    Twitter has been in full meltdown mode and the ‘usual gloating leftist scumfuck suspects’ are rather quiet as even they know that this was a serious miscalculation and that there’s going to be some bloody backlash…

    Like in one respect, IF it was a trannie?

    Whelp… between the past two major school shootings, and the rest of the trannie-on-normie violence out there? I’d say that even -I- NOW would be willing to shoot first and ask questions after when it came to dealing up close and personal with one of those fucking freakazoids these days… and that’s with me HAVING my poor daughter caught up in the social contagion that fucked up her life so badly…

    As much as I love her, I sure as fuck wouldn’t be trusting her as the drugs and shit that most of them stuff down their gullets to facilitate the transition makes for bad mental wiring… and a head full of bad wiring equals from what we’ve seen some serious propensity for extreme violence against their perceived oppressors.

    Which in itself is a HUGE issue… the “Words equal violence” always made me fucking laugh… statements like that are made from a position and usually by an individual who’s never been punched in the fucking face, and it shows. The claims of how “Trans-people are being hunted down and killed in the streets” thing? That fucking pile o’shytte?

    Right now, at the rate it’s going?

    It’s called a self fulfilling prophecy
    They just might start getting hunted down.

    IF the freakazoids keep things up at the rate their going? You’re goddamned right we’re going to start hunting them down, if only for a measure of preemptive self-protection. I mean FFS…

    If you see a King Cobra snake laying coiled up on a sidewalk, do you just avoid the snake and leave it to it’s business? Or do you call up the snake obliteration team to come out and waste that sumbitch ‘cos it’s a immediate and genuine threat to someone else’s life, including your own at the time?

    You of course call the snake-killing team

    Mind you that’s taken from a real-life experience I had in Northern Iraq. I was walking home at the end of the day and Mister King Cobra was on the sidewalk… I didn’t notice until I got close enough for him to rear up and warn me to “back the fuck off” at which point I did back off AND piss my pants IRL.

    No shame man… it was one of the most serious scares I’ve ever had in my life… that fucker was huge… and they sent out a team who shot it w/a .22 and bagged it up. In fact that’s the only time I ever pissed myself in all of my adventures in the Middle East… even in firefights and rokkit attacks… I never pissed myself like that EVER… even NOW that fucking memory still gives me the heebie-jeebies…

    But back to the issue…
    The point is:
    You do not leave a serious potential threat like that alive

    Nope
    You kill it BEFORE it can kill you, or your family/frens/neighbors… Hell… anyone in general. A King Cobra, much like today’s Militant Trannies are immediate and absolute threats that need to be treated as such. There can be no half-measures. I mean if I had just walked away from that big fuggin snake and someone else had gotten bit?

    Yeah, I would have felt like shit, and in some respects been responsible for that death. I mean by all rights I could have gone home and gotten changed from my piss-soaked jeans before making the report, but this was an operational immediate sort of mission, and they handled it as such.

    Hell, the lady at the housing office didn’t even give me any shit, joking or not about me smelling like a fucking wino with bad bladder control… her only comment was that SHE would have probably dropped dookie as well as pissing herself too.

    Now mind you I am NOT calling for automatic death to Trannies. Not by a long shot. However, I AM calling for some serious re-thinking in how we handle these left wing fucking lug-nuts and their mental baggage.

    We’ve tried for years to be the ‘go along/get along’ crew.
    But they just can’t allow it to be a ‘live and let live’ thing
    Nope
    They want supremacy.
    And that is where it just came to an end.
    Killing Charlie Kirk?

    As Lovely Miss (formerly of Gab) said:

    And yep…
    Later in the comments she said “They’re honestly fuckin suicidal. They kill the moderate nice guy & then dance on his grave & they think that this won’t make the right even bigger “Nazis”.”

    I knew Kirk was dead the second I saw the close-up of the shoot. It’s graphic but here it is:

    Now considering the rooftop angle, and I discussed this via text with Doc Samizdat, I’d say that he was hit from behind at about an inch to the right of his spinal cord or maybe even right through the spinal cord… what let me know he was DRT (dead right there) was his hands doing the reflexive ‘dying cockroach’ and his face just shutting down all shorting out as his jugular was ripped open by the exit wound. The involuntary grasping of his hands and the way his arms are moving indicated severe nerve trauma which tells me he took it through the base of the skull or close enough that the spinal cord was severely compromised.

    This’s a freeze at 00:24 seconds and you can see the exit hole right after he took the round:

    Then, this is what -I think- the trajectory was, based on the location of the shooter from the vid of the dood on the rooftop with a rifle:

    Right through the base of the skull, and out the left side of the jugular, hence the fountain of blood.

    I’d say he was hit by a suppressed .300 Blackout… the exit hole is consistent with a .30cal bullet as a 5.56mm would have tumbled and caused a LOT more ‘exit spray’ and a far bigger hole than the through-and-through round hole that I saw when I went frame-by-frame. The shooter might have been aiming for his squash, but that’s neither here nor there. The poor dude is wasted either way, so I suppose ‘mission accomplished’ for the scumbag who did it.

    This’s some Fucking Bad Shit man

    I will say however, that it was a good hit to a point.
    Sorry… but I do admire good fieldcraft.

    I mean did they legit catch the shooter?
    If they didn’t, then it was a great hit.

    BUT
    Currently, “Things” are too ‘noisy’ as the Tactical Hermit called it, hence his current reticence to poast about it until later… And yeah, we talk too. It’s a smol crew and we all talk on the regular and support each other as we ARE social pariahs to a certain extent…

    Which I’m cool with.
    But me?
    I throw my WAGs against the virtual wall and see what sticks.

    Otherwise
    I’d say this’s the beginning of the End for them…

    Between the Ukrainian Chick being willfully and intentionally butchered by that fucking Nigger in North Carolina who openly bragged about “getting that white girl” and NOW Charlie “Nice Guy” Kirk? The Left is UTTERLY COOKED.

    If the Repuboobicans get their shit together, for mid-terms, they’ll “Willie Horton” the fuck out of the DemoncRats and bludgeon them to death with these deaths.

    For those of you not in the know about that, Willie Horton was a career criminal that played an integral role in the defeat of Mike Dukakis in the 1988 Presidential Race against George Bush.

    Per the Wiki:

    William R. Horton (born August 12, 1951), commonly referred to as “Willie Horton“, is an American convicted murderer who was the subject of a major political controversy in the 1988 presidential election. Horton had committed violent crimes while on furlough from prison, where he was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for murder.[1] Released for a weekend as the beneficiary of a Massachusetts furlough program, he failed to return, and was later recaptured and convicted of committing assault, armed robbery, and rape in Maryland, where he remains incarcerated.

    Link HERE

    Mike Doo-kaka (besides looking like an utter phaggot-wannabe while riding in that M1 Tank during the campaign) got completely and utterly thrashed and pretty much had ALL of his presidential aspirations destroyed because of Willie Horton.

    It was Doo-kaka’s support of that furlough program that let Horton loose on a weekend pass. I mean what could go wrong with a program that let a convicted first degree murderer out on a weekend pass from prison? And that the aforementioned piece of nigger filth went out and (SHOCKER!) committed moar violent crimes?

    Color me surprised by this outcome.

    And back then?
    The Republicans took that fucking ball and ran the fuck out of it. It destroyed Dukakis politically forever.

    IF and only IF the fucking morons running the show in the Republican Party did some commercials nationally showing the video of the Krainian Chick just before the nigger sticks his knife into her, and a shot of Charlie Kirk right before he gets capped, and THEN show videos of the Democrats actively protesting OrangeManBad’s deployments of the DotMil against the criminal elements in cities, and the black folks BEGGING for MOAR DotMil support in Chicongo and the like?

    With a voiceover stating just HOW the DemoncRats are promoting crime/rape/and outright murder?

    Make a catchphrase like “Voat Republican: Voat for Life and Peace” ?

    Man…
    THAT right there is a slam-dunk ‘Bury the Dems six-foot-deep graveyard dead now and for eternity’ strategy. Use sound-bites of Occasional-Cortex or “Spartacus Booker” screaming about law and order and how OrangeManBad is the problem and NOT violent Leftards and Niggers aren’t?

    They’d never hold office again
    Not one of them

    I mean FFS, the Dems have zero issues waving the ‘bloody flag(s) immediately after school shootings and the like for political gain. In fact they positively revel in that sick shit. So I’d say these are perfect opportunities to do the same, and jam this shit right down their fucking throats until they fucking choke to death on it, good and HARD
    It’ll serve the fuckers right.
    Fair IS Fair after all.
    Because it’s time for the Find Out part of the Fuck Around Phase IMO.

    But that’s my take?
    How about y’all?

    More Later

    Why Did it Have to be ... Guns?

    by L. Neil Smith
    [email protected]

    Over the past 30 years, I've been paid to write almost two million words, every one of which, sooner or later, came back to the issue of guns and gun-ownership. Naturally, I've thought about the issue a lot, and it has always determined the way I vote.

    People accuse me of being a single-issue writer, a single- issue thinker, and a single- issue voter, but it isn't true. What I've chosen, in a world where there's never enough time and energy, is to focus on the one political issue which most clearly and unmistakably demonstrates what any politician -- or political philosophy -- is made of, right down to the creamy liquid center.

    Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

    If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

    If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

    What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

    If he doesn't want you to have the means of defending your life, do you want him in a position to control it?

    If he makes excuses about obeying a law he's sworn to uphold and defend -- the highest law of the land, the Bill of Rights -- do you want to entrust him with anything?

    If he ignores you, sneers at you, complains about you, or defames you, if he calls you names only he thinks are evil -- like "Constitutionalist" -- when you insist that he account for himself, hasn't he betrayed his oath, isn't he unfit to hold office, and doesn't he really belong in jail?

    Sure, these are all leading questions. They're the questions that led me to the issue of guns and gun ownership as the clearest and most unmistakable demonstration of what any given politician -- or political philosophy -- is really made of.

    He may lecture you about the dangerous weirdos out there who shouldn't have a gun -- but what does that have to do with you? Why in the name of John Moses Browning should you be made to suffer for the misdeeds of others? Didn't you lay aside the infantile notion of group punishment when you left public school -- or the military? Isn't it an essentially European notion, anyway -- Prussian, maybe -- and certainly not what America was supposed to be all about?

    And if there are dangerous weirdos out there, does it make sense to deprive you of the means of protecting yourself from them? Forget about those other people, those dangerous weirdos, this is about you, and it has been, all along.

    Try it yourself: if a politician won't trust you, why should you trust him? If he's a man -- and you're not -- what does his lack of trust tell you about his real attitude toward women? If "he" happens to be a woman, what makes her so perverse that she's eager to render her fellow women helpless on the mean and seedy streets her policies helped create? Should you believe her when she says she wants to help you by imposing some infantile group health care program on you at the point of the kind of gun she doesn't want you to have?

    On the other hand -- or the other party -- should you believe anything politicians say who claim they stand for freedom, but drag their feet and make excuses about repealing limits on your right to own and carry weapons? What does this tell you about their real motives for ignoring voters and ramming through one infantile group trade agreement after another with other countries?

    Makes voting simpler, doesn't it? You don't have to study every issue -- health care, international trade -- all you have to do is use this X-ray machine, this Vulcan mind-meld, to get beyond their empty words and find out how politicians really feel. About you. And that, of course, is why they hate it.

    And that's why I'm accused of being a single-issue writer, thinker, and voter.

    But it isn't true, is it?

    As he was walking around the tram, he was dripping fresh blood.
    Before he started his attack, he opened a folding knife.
    Looks like at some point during the attack the folding blade closed on his hand.
    This happens sometimes with cheaply made folding knives.

He said the Chinese people's ancestral country is the Soviet Union (我们中国共产党人的祖国是全世界共产党人共同的祖国即苏维埃(苏联). He said Stalin is the benevolent father of the Chinese people (史达林是中国人的慈父). These are quotations straight from the PRC's official document.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Every year during Mao's time, huge portraits of Lenin, Stalin, Marx, and Engels were paraded in Tiananmen Square. This is despicable beyond description. Even Eastern European Communist countries never did this kind of thing. It is clear who Mao paid tribute to.

    Japanese culture is both authoritarian (downwards) and obsequious (upwards) to an absurd degree: deference bordering on self-abasement is a vile concept, Many in the Japanese Right belong to the ‘Japan did nothing wrong in WWII’ crowd. They are totally crazy.

    Japan really does not understand the Western mindset, and probably never will. They’ve had a weird, violent, surreal crash course in Westernism for the whole 20th century, and it resembled a twisted relationship more than anything else. They critically misunderstand most Western concepts and simply adapt them to their own unique uses.

    They did the same thing with Chinese and Indian religious influences. Soon they will retreat entirely from global strategic significance, and go back to being what they’ve always been: strange and isolated.

  • China was invaded by Imperial Japan, and if the United Front did not happen, there would be no sovereign China.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_United_Front

    Bromance of Three Kingdoms = CCKG

    From 1931 to 1941, China resisted Japan without meaningful Allied support. Yet by 1941, China had pinned 80% of Japan’s army in China, thus preventing Japan from seizing Siberia or invading Australasia or India. China’s scorched-earth resistance drained Japan, and 400,000 Japanese were killed by the time Pearl Harbor happened. That’s more Jap deaths than the entire Pacific War from 1941 to 1945. US Aid to China was marginal until 1944.

    By bleeding Japan dry for a decade, China forced Japan into a disastrous southern expansion, triggering US oil sanctions, and allowed the island hopping strategy to work because the IJA was occupied in China.

    Why did Japan surrender with over a million troops still in China?

    China broke the Japanese empire, the US atomic bombs, while based, was little more than a “f you” to Japan and Truman flaunting his new toys to the rest of the world, particularly Russia.

    WORLD WAR III SITUATION REPORT
    LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
    Gaius Baltar

    Sep 10, 2025

    The global situation is, to put it mildly, getting interesting. Various scenarios are possible, few of them good – particularly for the West. The fog of war makes the situation unclear, and the fog of the mind in the West makes the future even more unclear. It’s time for a sitrep, and some highly irresponsible speculation.

    Masters of strategy

    Back in the glory days of the Biden Administration the West’s foreign policy was offensive. The West was going to seal the deal for global supremacy. Russia would be crushed like a bug and China would be left alone and helpless. The almighty US Navy would blockade China while the new Western Government of Russia would close the northern border. No more resources or markets – and China would be starved into democracy and proper values.

    Huge amounts of justly stolen collateral would flow into the western financial system and the pyramid scheme underpinning the West would live to see many more days. The western Financier Cabal would survive and could proceed with their great resets and social engineering plans. The Cabalists and their political puppets in the US and the EU were ecstatic because they had won before the plan was even executed.

    The western elites employ only the best strategists and planners. They are truly geniuses who can visualize any possible future. They are able to plan operations while taking even the most unexpected events into account in all eighteen dimensions. Their assumptions are so strong that they can even shape reality itself, and turn it upside down. The assumptions underlying their plans were bold and bulletproof:

    – The enemy will not make any countermoves while our plan unfolds.

    – The enemy will not figure out our weaknesses because we don’t have any.

    If there ever was a better plan for world domination, I’m not aware of it.

    Still, somehow, this plan failed. The war in Ukraine is not going so well, and the non-western world has joined forces to defend against the West. A new financial system that doesn’t use the dollar is taking shape, threats of sanctions do not work anymore, western economies are collapsing, and everyone is panicking. Europe, in particular, is in bad shape. The leaders are unpopular at home and despised abroad despite their best efforts at lecturing foreign leaders on morality and democracy.

    Nothing demonstrates western moral superiority better than transitioning from one gender to another – or even from one species to another. One can be a male human today and a female dog tomorrow if one so wishes. Western politicians, particularly the European ones, experienced exactly that. They transitioned from respected and self-assured glorious leaders into bitches.

    Europe has transitioned from a Garden of Eden on its way to rule the world through superior morality, sustainability regulations, and carbon taxes, into a desperate sewer. Her leaders crawl around, barking at each other; licking the boots of the man they hate the second most: Donald Trump.

    In the US the situation is almost as bad. The current priority of the US Government is to hide the bankruptcy of the country by pretending to sell treasuries while faking inflation numbers caused by money printing. The Biden neoliberals are quiet in their burrows while the exceptionalists and neocons have obviously contracted rabies. Others are not doing what America tells them to do. How can that be? We thought we were gods!

    How on Earth did this happen? Well, the enemy correctly identified the West’s main weakness and is making countermoves. Turns out no one really wants to be a bitch – unless you live in Europe or your name is Lindsey Graham.

    Becoming weak on purpose

    Both the United States and the European Union have been preparing for their future ‘system of governance’ through engineered degrowth for decades. They tuned down their economies while wealth was moved from the people to the elites. In their quest for sustainability they made the West economically unsustainable.

    For a long time, probably at least the last 30-40 years, the West has needed ‘free’ wealth from the non-western world to survive as the degrowth plan was carried out. That, however, was only supposed to be temporary. As the West secured its global dominance, the non-western economies would go through degrowth as well. All the wealth in the world would migrate upward to the Financier Cabal, and everyone else would live their lives as renters – if they were allowed to live at all.

    The West (particularly the United States) has been able to carry out its degrowth policies because it can finance their societies through money printing. Money printing always causes inflation. If you print a trillion dollars, that trillion will correspondingly affect the value of savings and increase the cost of living. Money printing is essentially an indirect tax on the population. The dollar, however, is the global reserve currency. It is used globally in trade – and a huge part of global debt is in dollars. This means that when the United States prints money to run the government and to keep the economy going, the entire world will absorb the resulting inflation – not just the United States.

    This also means that when the United States runs its government at a deficit, and falsifies its economy through debt increase, the entire world will experience inflation as a result and suffer a drop in living standards. US deficits and money printing are thus basically a tax on the world. This tax allows the US to operate its global empire.

    Until now the non-western world has been forced to go along with this taxation because the West has monopolized the international financial and trading systems – another source of western revenue. Stray away from the dollar and you’ll be excluded from the system, regime-changed or invaded. This is now changing – and not in a small way.

    If the global use of the dollar decreases, the ‘absorption area’ for dollar inflation will decrease. More and more of the inflation caused by printing dollars will therefore impact the United States – and countries with currencies attached to the dollar – which happen to be the European countries. If spending in the West remains the same (or increases) while the use of the dollar decreases globally – the result will be hyperinflation in the West and a collapse – first economic and then social. We are seeing this happen right now.

    The reserve dollar is the West’s weakness – and it’s a mortal weakness.
    The United States as an ATM machine

    To understand this weakness better, we need to see things from the point of view of the Financier Cabal and their minions. We especially need to see what the United States is to them.

    From their point of view the US is an ATM machine, a racketeering syndicate and an extortion operation rolled into one.

    The US elites use the dollar and its reserve currency status to suck wealth from the entire world. They also use the well-known US domestic ‘wealth pump’ to suck the life out of the US working and middle classes.

    All this stolen and extorted money is then used to finance the entire western Cabal/Deep State – including their enforcers (the US Military & NATO, the Intelligence Services, Al-Qaeda, HTS/ISIS, Israel, Ukraine, and various other sociopaths), the Military-Industrial Complex, and the European Union.

    In other words, the thing financing all this evil is the reserve-currency dollar. Without the reserve status of the dollar, money can’t be collected from the non-western world, and money can’t be printed and borrowed endlessly inside the United States. Without the reserve dollar, all the neocons, the trans/woke neolibs, the Cabal companies running America, and the European Union elites, will lose their shirts – and their power over their slave populations.

    For them there is no solution other than to maintain the reserve status of the dollar. No other option is even remotely possible at this point. The US cannot truly reindustrialize without a bloody revolution to remove the Cabal companies and the managerial class sucking the life out of the country, and Europe cannot reindustrialize without the same thing happening – and because they have no resources to do so. Fixing Europe or fixing America economically in the short or even medium term is just delusional nonsense. It’s not going to happen.

    As a reserve currency the dollar has not only financed all this evil – all the wars, all the terrorism, all the mass murders, all the regime changes – and global oppression. It has also allowed the Cabal to finance a monstrous and parasitic (woke and incompetent) managerial class and to destroy the middle and working classes of the United States and Europe. Having a reserve currency is a curse like no other – unless you are a sociopath seeking world domination.

    Someone probably sat down with Trump and ‘explained’ this to him. The fate of the Financier Cabal and the Deep State is now intertwined with America’s fate, and it’s time to accept that and act accordingly. As a result he mostly gave up on his reindustrialization ideas and decided to go all in defending the dollar. Subsequently he got rid of Elon, neutered DOGE, and allowed Trotskyist infiltrator Lindsey Graham to slide in through the backdoor to become a foreign policy chief or sorts. He is the modern and highly simplified reincarnation of Henry Kissinger (another Trotskyist infiltrator). The policies intended to Make America Great Again, including the tariffs, were repurposed to wage war on the world on behalf of the dollar. Trump now sees US domination of the world as existential for the United States. Perhaps he always did.

    The way things have developed, particularly after the reconciliation between China and India, are not encouraging for the West. For once, the Deep Staters and the EU elites aren’t imagining things. The dollar is as good as dead as a global reserve currency, and they are screwed. The only option is war for the survival of the dollar, and the survival of the western elites. The western people and the western countries only exist now as assets to be sacrificed to win that war.
    So, what’s the plan?

    The main property of the current situation is its urgency. The western globalist machine is being defunded NOW. Our rulers are losing their power NOW. Western countries are going bankrupt NOW. Things are going to hell NOW. This has finally dawned on our ruling class and they are panicking. It’s time for a plan, and as everyone knows, panic is not exactly the best state of mind to come up with plans.

    So, what is the plan? Well, there seem to be two plans with some division of labor. The West is going to engage in two wars: one against the BRICS (the global opposition) and one against Russia. The West is already at war with Russia, so that part of the plan is more of a ‘continuation war’ with escalations.

    Will these plans remain just plans or will they be put into action? That’s the big question. The panic and indecision is such that western leaders look and sound like sufferers of rapid cycling bipolar disorder. They transition between mania and depression constantly. One day they are manically determined and bullish – the next day they are deeply depressed and desperate. Who knows what the final decision will be. Still, it’s best to err on the side of caution and assume these plans will be carried out. Let’s speculate on those plans.
    War plan I – BRICS

    The first order of business is to neutralize the threat against the dollar – which comes from the new trading and financial mechanisms developed by the BRICS countries. This will primarily be carried out by the United States and Britain – with help from the European Union where necessary.

    The first phase of this plan is Trump’s tariff threats against BRIC states, primarily Brazil and India. So far, this has failed catastrophically because it unified BRICS countries rather than breaking them apart. Since failure proves nothing in the neocon world, this phase is still ongoing. Trump might still decide to implement massive tariffs against anyone who buys energy from Russia – which includes China and India. The results will be catastrophic for the United States – but these are desperate times.

    The second, third, fourth, and so forth phases of the plan are terrorism and war. The goal is to chip away at BRICS and associated countries using military force, terrorism and regime change operations. Countries perceived as vulnerable and isolated will be targeted first. We can expect the following to happen:

    War and/or forceful regime change operations against peripheral BRICS states and aligned states starting with Venezuela and Iran.

    Fomenting further unrest and regime change operations in Asia and possibly Africa. Any available useful idiots will be weaponized against their own societies – primarily woke liberals, but also Nazis, exceptionalists, radical Muslims, and whatever can be mobilized. The West isn’t picky.

    Increasing the use of intimidation tactics and military aggression, seemingly without constraints. Expect the unexpected.

    Leveraging proxies in the Caucasus (Armenia and Azerbaijan) to create unrest on Russia’s and Iran’s borders.

    Exporting Salafist jihadists from Syria and other places into Central Asian states to create unrest on the southern borders of Russia. Expect some form of Chechnya 2.0.

    Increase in western-sponsored terrorism in Russia, Iran and other states perceived as vulnerable.

    And so on and so forth.

    The main goal of this phase is to fracture BRICS by creating chaos, and if necessary to wage outright war. The secondary goal is to steal their oil and other resources – of course. We can expect much overtime for CIA, Mossad and MI6 agents in the coming years, and a lot to bonuses for jihadists in the Middle East. American soldiers can expect to die glorious deaths for the elites who hate them.
    War plan II – Russia

    This part of the plan will primarily be carried out by the European Union and Britain, with critical logistics and intelligence support from the United States. The United States seems to have refused more involvement than that – annoying the EU leaders. The EU will therefore have to conduct operations against Russia by themselves, although US support will be critical. There are two likely reasons for this passivity from the US. Firstly, the US will be busy dealing with the BRICS and ‘securing (looting) the western hemisphere.’ Secondly, US involvement in Ukraine will simply be too risky. Serious contact between the Americans and the Russians there might easily escalate beyond the nuclear threshold. Trump wants to avoid that – although some of the neocons around him think a nuclear war is a great idea.

    The EU plan can be split into a defensive plan and an offensive plan – or an inside plan and an outside plan. Let’s take a closer look.
    The inside (defensive) plan

    The inside plan is intended to maintain control over the European Union while the war against Russia and the BRICS is ongoing. The situation in Europe is serious and there is a possibility of major crisis in three key countries: Britain, France and Germany. Social unrest is likely, as well as elections not going the EU’s way. There is also the problem of sovereigntist countries causing problems – primarily Hungary and Slovakia. The problems the EU needs to deal with range from angry citizens up to rebel leaders of individual countries. All these people must be kept in check.

    We are likely to see the EU carry out the following actions in the near future:

    We can expect massive increase in censorship and arrests of dissenters. Zero tolerance policy will be adopted and people will be arrested for anything which may be interpreted as critical of their governments or the EU as a whole – or ‘anti-authority’ in general. This has already gone pretty far in Europe but will be pushed much farther. It is possible that the army will be used against the public – for example in Britain.

    Elections will be rigged wherever necessary and results canceled if the rigging fails. This has already been done in Moldova and (almost certainly) in Germany.

    Political parties will be either banned or excluded from participating in elections. Political leaders will be increasingly banned from elections and/or jailed. The use of threats and blackmail will increase, resulting in surprise retirements of popular politicians. This has already started, for example in Romania.

    Political murders and assassinations will be stepped up. Troublesome politicians or candidates for elections will die mysterious deaths. Bankers, businessmen, industrialists, bloggers and other influential people who stray from the program or create obstacles will receive the ‘Alfred Herrhausen’ treatment – i.e. be murdered. This has apparently already started with the rather obvious murders of AfD candidates in Germany. You have been warned, rebel scum!

    Regime changes will most likely be attempted in Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia. All countries must be brought to heel.

    Engineering a war in the Balkans is likely, particularly if Serbia cannot be regime-changed properly – or if Republika Srpska declares independence – or something like that. Cyrillic-reading troglodytes and the Orthodox Church must be purged from the European Garden.

    And so on and so forth.

    Maintaining control is all-important for the EU because this is where its greatest weakness can be found. More on that later.
    The outside (offensive) plan

    The West has, apparently, performed a new analysis on the situation using their Masters of Strategy. They have come to the conclusion that a short and decisive victory over Russia is impossible. That’s quite an insight after nearly four years of unsuccessful war with exactly that purpose. Instead the West has decided to adopt the Russian method of war by attrition. Maintain pressure long enough and Russia will eventually fracture through exhaustion. Should that not happen, it will serve to keep the Russians occupied while the US and Britain deal with the BRICS. It’s a guaranteed win-win strategy according to the Strategy Masters.

    All the preparations made by the EU point to this plan being real. The EU is arming itself, appropriately using a five-year plan. In 2030 or thereabouts ‘we have to be ready for a war with Russia’ and here’s a trillion euros to get things going. This is, of course, disinformation. The war will escalate soon, and the five-year plan is to sustain it.

    The West has also come to the conclusion that escalation against Russia is a viable option. The Kursk invasion, which was a NATO operation from stem to stern, was almost certainly partly intended as a test to see what the Russians would do in the case of invasion of Russia proper. Would they nuke someone or show restraint? No nukes arrived, so they wouldn’t nuke anyone if Kaliningrad were to be attacked, would they? The West, and particularly the EU, is now confident that it can get away with significant escalations as a part of its pressure and attrition policy. Escalations are therefore being planned.

    We can expect the following to happen in the near future – if the EU doesn’t crumble soon or its leaders chicken out:

    European intervention in Ukraine – This is now a very likely scenario. There are rumors that the plan is to send at least 50,000 troops, and probably more, into Ukraine. These troops will primarily come from France and Britain, but probably from Poland and other countries as well. The main purpose is to prevent the Russians from reaching the EU borders and to secure Ukrainian natural resources for Europe – i.e. to loot Ukraine.

    The original plan was to trick the Russians into a ceasefire and then immediately flood western and northern Ukraine with European troops. Since the Russians couldn’t be tricked (this time) the troops will most likely be sent in regardless. The troop buildup seems to have begun to some degree. There are already some numbers of French and British troops in Odessa and other cities – acclimatizing and getting mentally prepared for war with the help of cheap booze and Ukrainian prostitutes.

    These soldiers will not have NATO/US security guarantees and will have no inherent deterrence value against the Russians. They will become priority targets for the Russians, who will kill as many of them as they can in the shortest time possible.

    Transnistria – The breakaway region from Moldova has Russian troops and large Soviet-era ammo dumps. It’s likely that Moldova, with EU help, will attack the Russian forces there.

    The Baltic/Finland – The probability of escalation from Finland is higher than most people realize. It is likely that some ‘event’ will be manufactured, possibly involving the Baltic Sea. The goals of this escalation will be to close the Baltic Sea for Russian maritime traffic in order to put economic pressure on Russia – and to put further pressure on the Russian military. Finland will likely front this ‘event’ and its consequences – which will have a military dimension. It is likely that the plan is to involve all the Scandinavian countries in this escalation as both logistic and military support for Finland.

    This could very well be a greater escalation than European intervention in Ukraine and could result in serious fireworks. If things get out of hand we could see an all-out war between Russia and Finland – and consequently between Russia and the entire Scandinavian region – i.e. Finland, Sweden, Norway and probably Denmark. This may sound far-fetched but it’s not as outlandish as one might think.

    There are other possible points of escalation in Europe but these three are the most likely. An attack on Kaliningrad by Poland and the Baltic states is also possible – but is unlikely to be among the initial escalation efforts. However, desperate people tend to be unpredictable so who knows.
    Kamikaze Scandinavia and ideological preparedness

    Should you want to use a nation as cannon fodder against another nation, ideological preparation is necessary. A nation will not enter a non-defensive war which will result in mass casualties unless the proper level of brainwashing has been achieved. In other words, if you want to avoid backlash at home, you need to have a population who wants to go to war – or a population under very tight control – knowledge-wise or otherwise. Ideological control or preparedness can be achieved by various means. Economic problems and poverty are good if you can blame the right people. Fear-mongering works – but not necessarily for ‘proactive’ wars. Control can also be established by indoctrination starting in childhood.

    Exactly that was done to prepare Ukraine for being used against Russia, starting immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union – and before that in the case of western Ukraine. Western Ukraine’s Nazi leanings were encouraged and supported by the West – and turned into a mass movement with torchlight marches and Third Reich customs and symbols. A fake history and mythology was created for Ukraine and put into school books. Russophobia was made a part of the curriculum. This worked quite well – as we have seen.

    There are, however, surprisingly few countries in Europe that are ideologically ready to be sacrificed in a war against Russia. There might even be a backlash in a deranged Russophobic country such as Germany if its authorities were to engage in an open war against Russia. The same might possibly apply to Poland, and very likely Romania. If things go out of control on the battlefield they might go out of control at home as well. This means that the pool of suicide counties is not as great as the EU authorities would prefer.

    If we can identify which counties are brainwashed enough to jump willingly into the fire, we can also predict which countries are likely to be used to escalate militarily against Russia. There are a few countries that are quite prepared, and those will likely be used.

    Among those are the Baltic countries – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Their brainwashing level is very similar to Ukraine. They have certain pride in their past as collaborators with Nazi Germany, and Russophobia is systematically manufactured much like in Ukraine. It is therefore likely that the Baltic countries will be used in some way, possibly in a Finnish-led escalation.

    The other countries ideologically ready for mass sacrifice are the Scandinavian countries – all of them. This might sound strange to some readers so let’s elaborate.

    The Scandinavian populations are extremely isolated from reality. A large majority doesn’t even realize how bad the situation is in their neighboring countries to the south – and think everything is just fine. Trust in institutions is high and they basically believe everything the media tells them.

    The Scandinavian countries have been prosperous for a long time which has delayed consequences for their catastrophic social policies. People generally do not wake up until they experience problems personally – or are humiliated. This hasn’t happened yet to a sufficient number of them and they have therefore had an unusually long consequence-free time to get brainwashed to their core.

    The Scandinavian brainwashing of choice is feminism. The Scandinavian countries have Trotskyist/feminist social policies which have shaped their populations for decades. They essentially practice ‘consensus totalitarianism’ based on feminism – a sub-ideology of Trotskyism. Their populations have been successfully conditioned for a long time to accept feminist control from the most basic (such as child rearing) up to government – and everything in between.

    A key characteristic of feminism is hatred – particularly of the Patriarchy. This hatred has been assimilated by a large majority of the Scandinavian populations and disdain for the masculine has become a part of the culture. As it happens there is nothing that signifies the Patriarchy better than Russia – where the Orthodox Church even has a ‘Patriarch.’ For feminists Russia almost represents the archetypal masculine. Feminist (and neoliberal) hatred of Russia is based on this to a large degree.

    Due to this feminist brainwashing, the gullibility, and the docility, all that is needed to get Scandinavians to hate Russia is to tell them to do so in the media. They will accept any lies or justifications for war with Russia like good little zombies – and will not consider the consequences. In some ways, Scandinavians are probably as deeply indoctrinated as the Ukrainians – despite the methods being different.

    If Finland agrees to be the next escalation flashpoint against Russia, the other Scandinavian countries will support the Finns – both logistically and militarily – and the majority of the populations will approve.
    A Russian response

    The speculative part of this essay might not come true – partly or at all. Let’s hope it doesn’t. However, erring on the side of caution is necessary when strategy is formed.

    Russia has two main options do deal with this situation. One is deterrence – i.e. trying to prevent these escalations and to seek a subsequent resolution of the conflict through a deal involving the total security architecture in Europe. The other option is to stop thinking about deals and to take proactive actions to neutralize the threat.

    Due to the desperate and compulsive nature of the EU/NATO actions, the first option is not going to work. Any warnings, and deterrence in general, will be ignored – and compromises will be seen as weakness. A ceasefire will not be observed in the long term. A peace deal in Ukraine will not be observed. A deal on the total security framework in Europe will not be observed.

    The narcissistic nature of the EU elites and their desperate situation has turned Europe into a rabid dog. You don’t negotiate with a rabid dog. Everybody knows how a rabid dog needs to be handled. Any ideas the Russians might still have about a long-term deal involving the EU are delusional.

    This leaves proactive actions as the only realistic option. When planning such actions some groundwork is needed. The preparatory steps are the following:

    The first step is to define the object of the actions. In this case it would probably be better to define the EU specifically as the object rather than the West as a whole, including the United States. The EU is a smaller target, and a more realistic one. This would mean that actions were specifically designed for the EU rather than for the West (or NATO) as a whole. This will significantly affect the choice of options.

    The second step is to define an overall goal. That would be to neutralize the EU as a constant threat.

    The third step is to probe the weaknesses of the EU. At the moment the EU has a lot of weaknesses, including economic, social, and competence related. The main weakness, however, is its cohesion problem. The EU is on the verge of fracturing and needs to be held together by force – as we saw earlier. The most effective proactive actions would be ones which would ‘overload’ the EU’s cohesion measures.

    To describe this more clearly, the situation in the EU now resembles a siege. The EU center in Brussels has all of Europe under siege and takes immediate measures if someone tries to escape. Countries within the EU are under de facto economic sanctions from the EU itself, and are subject to hostile actions including regime change operations. Countries which might want to leave the EU simply can’t because they are locked inside.

    Russia should seek to break that siege – enabling nature to take its course – which would be the fracturing of the EU.

    The only realistic way to break Brussels’s siege of Europe is to provide an alternative to EU countries. That can only be done through ‘physical proximity.’ In other words, Russia needs to provide European countries with physical route out of the EU gulag. This can only be done by moving the Russian Army up to the EU borders and to occupy territory adjacent to them. The way things are developing this seems to be the only logical option.

    This would require the Russian Army to seize south-western Ukraine, including Odessa, up to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. It might even require going farther north to the Hungarian border, depending on EU actions involving Romania. This would also secure control of the Danube – a critical trade route.

    This action would be the equivalent of stabbing an awl through a plate of glass. It would be punctured, and fractures would form. Countries in the south-eastern part of the EU would be provided with a choice – including the one of joining the BRICS.

    While other measures could be taken to pressure the EU, this would be the only obvious way to deliver a major blow to the integrity of the EU. The other option is just to wait it out and allow it to disintegrate on its own. That might take time and no one likes being constantly bitten by a rabid dog that just won’t die.

    This option is going to be costly for Russia, partly because it would require going through the EU forces in the area. It is, however, probably going to be necessary.

    This is the biggest mistake, which is that Trump, if he wants to stop drugs with random acts of violence, would be better off bombing random pharmaceutical company headquarters and drug production plants, whether across America or internationally in countries like Switzerland, Canada, and Israel where many can be found. Their rich CEOs even have private jets, defenselessly waiting for American fighter jets to come knock them out of the sky with their owner onboard.

    Unlike drug cartels, they wouldn’t even know how to fight back, so it’d be like shooting fish in a barrel. For deterrence and to help the American economy reindustrialize, you could even legally enslave all of their pharmaterrorist employees that you don’t kill, because the Thirteenth Amendment doesn’t prohibit slavery for punishment of a crime (hence the private prison labour system). The people who made the opioid crisis ought repay their debt to society the hard way. Andrew Anglin would support this idea I think, since it could possibly get him a sex slave.

    The argument of illegality doesn’t hold water, because the US has international jurisdiction over every other country (as it has continuously legally asserted and set precedent for, e.g in the Assange case) and their citizens, and because all is fair in love and war and the US has long ago declared both its love for violence; the Drug War, and the War Against an Emotion that is terror.

    Yeah, Yanks like to continually crow about themselves and minimise the roles of others.

    They like to portray themselves as "Saving Europe" when 80% of German casualties were at the hands of the Soviets.

    Then you have idiotic statements like that quoted above.

    Chinese inflicted 70% of Japanese military deaths in WW2

    Estimates of Japanese military deaths range from 2.1 to 2.5 million
    Japanese military deatsh inflicted by:
    US Marines in land battles in Pacific..........200,000
    US Navy in Pacific...............................300,000
    Other non Chinese (UK, Anzacs, Indian, USSR) ....200,000 in Malaya, Burma, India, Manchuria
    Sub Total ........................................700,000 (0.7 million)

    Taking higher estimated 2.5 million Japanese military deaths,
    Chinese inflicted 1.8 million (2.5-0.7) Japanese military deaths
    Which is 72% of Japanese military deaths

    Taking lower estimated 2.1 million Japanese military deaths,
    Chinese inflicted 1.4 million (2.1-0.7) Japanese military deaths
    Which is 67% of Japanese military deaths

    So the Chinese inflicted between 67% and 72% of Japanese military deaths. 70% would be fair estimate.

    So
    War in Europe, Soviets caused 80% of German casualties
    War in Asia, China caused 70% of Japanese casualties

    Then you have the USA that purposefully do not enter the wars till all other participants exhaust themselves, and march in claiming the spoils.

    Worst of all, you have their descendents 70 years later, claiming that the Soviets and Chinese efforts were a "side show".

    This US ignorant bragging and bullying is why USA is despised around the world and countries are lining up to join BRICS.

    As I know very little about Sub warfare but it would be enlightening to know how dependent our Sub fleet’s assets are on REM imports from China to remain functional.

    Considering China also have overland routes for importing supplies from Russia/Central Asia and possibly a fleet of planes which might offset some damage done by a Sub blockade……any kinetic conflict will be a test of which side has the greater willingness to suffer through a war of attrition.

    As you stated, the Chinese, like the Russians, have experienced existential threats within living memory and have both the motivation and incentives to do what it takes to prevail in any war waged against them on their home turf.

    We haven’t had to contend with any armed conflict on our soil since the War Between the States. And the last foreign threat we had to face was the 1812 War.

    Of course, that might likely change once the war against the Cartels – both inside and beyond our borders – becomes goes hot.

    If the USA provokes a war with China, this is what the US military will face: an enormous army, navy, and air force with high morale (high willingness to fight and keep fighting), supplied endlessly with great weapons by the world's mightiest industry.

    Focus on the Homeland

    A long overdue shift from maintaining the failing Pax Americana to defending the US homeland would be a very welcome change.

    Pentagon officials are proposing the department prioritize protecting the homeland and Western Hemisphere, a striking reversal from the military’s yearslong mandate to focus on the threat from China. A draft of the newest National Defense Strategy, which landed on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s desk last week, places domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries such as Beijing and Moscow, according to three people briefed on early versions of the report.

    The move would mark a major shift from recent Democrat and Republican administrations, including President Donald Trump’s first term in office, when he referred to Beijing as America’s greatest rival. And it would likely inflame China hawks in both parties who view the country’s leadership as a danger to U.S. security.

    “This is going to be a major shift for the U.S. and its allies on multiple continents,” said one of the people briefed on the draft document. “The old, trusted U.S. promises are being questioned.”

    Why the American people should give one quantum of a damn about “old, trusted US promises” given to foreigners when none of the promises given to them have been kept is an obvious question. But Simplicius and others doubt that this “major shift” is real anyhow.

    Recall the US even under Trump has dragged its feet for years on initiatives to pull troops from Iraq, Europe, etc. An excuse is always somehow resurrected at the last moment which buys the MIC time and keeps US occupation forces perpetually in places where their presence stirs conflict, exacerbates tensions, and unnecessarily provokes so-called “adversaries” like Russia, China, or Iran. US troops in Syria, for instance—which Trump has likewise failed to pull—have done nothing but facilitate conflict, act as JTACs for Israeli strike corridors, etc.; the claim of being some sort of ‘peacekeepers’ is a sham.

    If the troops are brought back from Europe and the Middle East, the borders are manned, and the mass repatriations begin, then perhaps we can take some of these pronouncements seriously. But until then, it’s all just irrelevant noise.

    I maintain that the Chinese refusing to let Big Nose get in the pilot's seat once they went full People's Republic was the most consequential decision in human history. This will become apparent to everyone in due time. There were many hooked nose "advisors" in China during the transition who fully expected to take over, but Chang said "no thanks, we've got it from here." Now once the parasites have sucked the West completely dry they have nowhere to turn, as Israel is nothing without its host.

  • One time in Thailand, however many years ago, I was listening to a young lady complain about Chinese people. I had some sympathy to her complaints, as Chinese tourists can be overbearing. On the whole, they spend so much money, it is hardly fair to complain. And the thing about this is: China developed so...
  • All joking aside, it’s only because of the low average IQ of Indians that it has taken them this long to see that China is an intrinsically more benign state than the US. There are two main reasons:

    1) China was poor until recently, so the Chinese know that poverty is not necessarily the result of innate inferiority. That makes them more humble than the supremely arrogant Judeo-Anglo Empire, whose embodiment Donald Trump is.

    2) “Judeo” is the keyword in Judeo-Anglo, meaning the Judeo-Anglo Empire is synonymous with the Synagogue of Satan and, therefore, utterly evil, which can been seen, among other things, it its complicity in the genocide of the Gazans.

    Conspiratards here and elsewhere assert China is secretly dominated by Jews as well and offer as proof a 70-year-old photo of Mao with some Jew. That’s irrational and idiotic. When a society is dominated by Jews, as the US is, it’s completely obvious and can’t be hidden because Jews fill most positions of power and wealth, and the nation’s policies are geared to the benefit of Jews and Israel. Those things happen in the US, but they don’t happen in China because the US is dominated by Jews and China is not.

    There was big Jewish involvement in bringing communism to China. The US was so infiltrated back in 48, that they actually double crossed the Nationalist Chinese and armed the Communists to take over. The Taiwanese know all about it.

    Japan should be grateful that:

    1) China is now their largest trade partner and appear more interested in commerce than exacting revenge for their wars of aggression between 1985 and 1945.

    2) That, owing to Cold War political expediency, we helped to rebuild their shattered archipelago and protected them under a defense treaty/nuclear umbrella which allowed them to focus on their economy and internal development.

    When, in reality, we should have dropped a third Atomic bomb on Tokyo and wiped out their royal family and allowed the Soviets to complete their conquest of the northern Islands as payment for their entry into the war on our side.

    If the jappos were smart, they’d be content to remain a medium sized manufacturing hub while serving in their historical role as a port and weigh station for global commerce and give up any pretensions of being a heavyweight on the global arena. They had their shot at it between the late 19th and mid- ’20th Centuries and failed abysmally.

    Did Donald Trump Authorize Murder?… and Why is He Disrespecting China’s Role in Defeating Japan?

    Larry C Johnson
    Sep 03, 2025

    I am going to cover two different issues here today, but both pertain to Donald Trump. I am not a Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) person. I do not reflexively dislike President Trump, but I find myself more disturbed about his foreign policy and his military actions, which counter his professed claim to be seeking peace. Let’s start with the attack on an alleged Venezuelan boat on Monday by the US Navy… it was a criminal act by US forces in my view.

    First, here is what the White House, the US State Department and the Department of Defense said about the US attack:

    White House

    President Donald Trump announced at a press briefing that US Navy forces “shot down a boat, a drug-laden vessel, with a substantial amount of drugs aboard,” stating that 11 alleged cartel members were killed in the operation. He described the strike as a warning to narco-terrorist organizations and claimed it was conducted in international waters against a vessel headed for the United States. Trump posted a video of the operation and emphasized US resolve to combat drug trafficking linked to Venezuelan gangs.

    US State Department

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed via social media that the US military conducted a “lethal strike” against a ship operated by a “designated narco-terrorist organization.” The Department reiterated the US position that President Nicolás Maduro heads a drug cartel and called the action necessary in the ongoing fight against drug trafficking. The State Department also stated there were no US casualties during the operation.

    Department of Defense

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on national media that further military action against cartels is likely, saying that the US will “continue to hit drug cartels” and that any traffickers operating as designated narco-terrorists would “face the same fate.” The Pentagon confirmed no American personnel were harmed and described the operation as “deadly serious,” marking the start of a broader military campaign to combat drug smuggling and organized crime in the region.

    Department of Defense

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on national media that further military action against cartels is likely, saying that the US will “continue to hit drug cartels” and that any traffickers operating as designated narco-terrorists would “face the same fate.” The Pentagon confirmed no American personnel were harmed and described the operation as “deadly serious,” marking the start of a broader military campaign to combat drug smuggling and organized crime in the region.

    Donald Trump posted this “Truth” (i.e., that is what Trump calls his posts on Truth Social):

    The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and “blood” that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader. Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory. I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

    I think Trump spent too much time watching Hollywood films about the War in the Pacific. Trump and I, like most Americans, have been fed a steady diet of the great victory the US obtained with the defeat of Japan in World War II. Rarely is there a fair presentation of what the Chinese experienced. So let me hit you with some facts.

    Japan began attacking China well before the United States entered the war in the Pacific. The earliest significant Japanese aggression came with the invasion of Manchuria, which began on September 18, 1931 as a result of the Mukden Incident. This led to the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo in northeastern China.

    However, full-scale war between Japan and China erupted with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident near Beijing on July 7, 1937. This incident triggered the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which saw Japan launch a widespread invasion of Chinese territory. By the end of July 1937, the Japanese had occupied major cities like Beijing and Tianjin, and by December 1937, Nanjing had fallen, resulting in the infamous Nanjing Massacre.

    While the Japanese were busy killing Chinese civilians and soldiers, the US did nothing. The United States initially avoided taking sides during the early Japanese attacks on China, prioritizing economic interests and trade with both nations. In the years following Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and later during the large-scale attacks beginning in 1937, the US government did not provide direct aid to China nor take significant actions to protest Japanese aggression.

    So who did most of the fighting and dying during the War in the Pacific… the US or China? On average, over the course of the Second World War, about 70 percent of the Japanese army was deployed in China. This figure fluctuated over time: the proportion occasionally peaked above 90 percent, with the lowest point around 35 percent, but typically remained above 70 percent for most of the conflict. As of December 1941, 35 out of Japan’s 51 army divisions—about 69 percent of its total ground forces—were stationed in China, and the majority of these forces remained there until Japan’s surrender in 1945.

    During World War II, the number of Chinese soldiers and civilians killed by Japanese forces is estimated as follows:

    • Chinese military deaths: Approximately 3 to 4 million Chinese soldiers were killed during battles, executions, and related combat operations by the Japanese military. For example, around 50,000 Chinese soldiers died defending Nanjing in 1937, with 30,000 more executed after its capture.

    • Chinese civilian deaths: Civilian casualties are estimated at about 15 to 20 million. This includes deaths from massacres like the Nanjing Massacre, which alone caused between 100,000 and 300,000 civilian deaths, widespread rape, and atrocities. Many others died due to famine, forced labor, and other Japanese war crimes.

    In total, over 20 million Chinese—both military and civilian—are estimated to have died as a result of the Japanese invasion and occupation during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the broader World War II conflict.

    The US, by comparison, during World War II, in the Pacific theater, lost approximately 111,606 U.S. military personnel who were killed in action or went missing. This includes:

    • About 41,592 U.S. Army soldiers

    • About 23,160 U.S. Marines and sailors

    Additionally, the U.S. Navy lost 31,157 killed in action in the Pacific theater. Trump simply does not know what he is talking about when he baldly states that the US expended a massive amount of blood in defeating Japan. Yes, we suffered significant casualties, but our losses pale in comparison to what China lost. Our combat fatalities were 0.04% of those sustained by China. Moreover, the fact that China spent eight years fighting 70% of the Japanese military means that because of their effort, fewer Americans died. In light of these facts, Trump’s TRUTH to Xi is just a big lie.

    Danny Davis and I had an interesting chat about these issues:

    Johnson comparing death tolls as though that were a measure of military effectiveness.
    Remember, as Patton said, the point was not to die for your country but the make the other poor bastard die for his.

    What Trump is saying is that the Chinese did not defeat the Japanese—Johnson's death toll stats bear witness to that.

    The American Navy defeated the Japanese. The battles of Midway and Leyte Gulf. The Great Marianna Turkey Shoot. We sank their carriers and once having done that, destroyed their supply freighters so their island fortresses could not be provisioned and supplied with ammunition and fuel.

    Larry Johnson may not be aware of this, but Japan is an island. Much like Britain. They are an imperial naval power. They took over a bunch of islands in the South Pacific. They built bases on these islands. Hell, even Australia was threatened. Singapore fell. Malaysia fell, the Philippines fell. Their sights were set on India. The British Empire was crumbling. The Brits could not defend their far-flung holdings. The Dutch were routed from Indonesia, their latex rubber plantations (remember, there was no such thing as butyl rubber back then. That is, until German chemists invented it and then began mass production at the gigantic works we call Auschwitz. Which was a work camp in which thousands of prisoners of war--both civilian and military—were employed. These workers, performing such a necessary service to the war effort were especially valued and well treated by the Germans).

    (You people don't appreciate just what the invention of butyl rubber means to your lives. Every O ring, every gasket or molding that forms the seal around your car's windows and doors, the seal around your house doors etc. was, until the invention of silicone rubbers, made of butyl. The lip seals on the ball bearings that make every motor in your house spin easily, your washing machine, dryer, dish washer, blender, mixer, hair blower, furnace fan and on and on, were made of butyl. The seals on your auto wheels, transmission, engine, alternator, AC pump, heater fan were made of butyl rubber. See why Auschwitz was so important to the Germans? And why the workers there were so well treated?)

    The land war in China was a sideshow. An interesting one, as Barbara Tuchman describes in her Pulitzer prize winning book Stilwell and the American Experience in China".

    Trump is right on this one.

    And by the way, most of the stuff rolling down the streets in the parade were just props. Panels glued together to look like weapons. Hollow tubes painted with threatening camo designs.

  • FTB says:
    @Heretic50
    @meamjojo

    Once again, you demonstrate that you have no clue what you're talking about:


    Possessing 2, 5, 10 or even 50 nukes would not do a third rate country like NK or Iran any good if the US, Russia or China, for example, decided on a preemptive nuclear strike against the country. The country would be evaporated before it could get any nukes off and it might not even know who was sending them.
     
    This makes certain assumptions that are iffy at best.

    First, who's to say Iran wouldn't acquire or receive intelligence about such an attack, either prior to launch, or after launch but before impact? Could Israel afford that risk?

    Second, unlike the tiny, pissant state of Israel, Iran is a very large country. Nuclear weapons -- while undoubtedly formidable -- tend to be overestimated in their effects. It would take a very large number of nukes to "evaporate" Iran, and the nukes would have to hit almost simultaneously to ensure that no nuclear missile launch sites had a chance to respond.

    Third, there are ways of delivering nukes that don't depend on missiles fired from the home territory, and Iran could arrange for such means (if it hasn't already).

    Then there is the question as to if NK or Iran could reliably deliver a nuke weapon. ... Iran would have to cross Iraq or Jordan to get to Israel. What if their nuke missile was shot down and exploded over either of those countries, instead of Israel?. That would be a serious miscalculation.
     
    Hypersonic missiles generally don't get shot down. And who says there would be only one of them?

    Then there is the fallout cloud. As the world wind blows west to east, a successful nuke missile from Iran that hit Israel would then blow fallout back onto Iran and other further Westward countries like China.
     
    Iran could simply opt for airbursts. Nuclear airbursts cause minimal fallout while maximizing casualties. Surface detonations are what cause significant fallout.

    Moreover, relatively few nukes would be needed to wipe out Israel, so the fallout wouldn't be nearly as significant as that from, say, a nuclear attack large enough to end Iran.

    And what do you think Israel would do with its supposed 200+ nukes, a few that I would wager are always fueled and armed, if Iran somehow managed to nuke some place in Israel? Go plead for the UN to smack Iran’s hand? [rotflol]
     
    Of course Israel would retaliate with whatever nukes it has (which some estimates put as low as 90). But no one, except Zionist kikes and kikealikes, is claiming that Iran would attack first even if they had nukes. Iran would only use nukes if it were forced to do so, in which case concerns about retaliation would be moot. Iran needs nukes as a deterrent against Israel, not the reverse.

    If an all-out exchange did occur between Israel and a nuclear Iran, Israel would be easily destroyed with relatively few weapons delivered. Iran would potentially survive due to its sheer size, depending on the delivered number and size of Israel's weapons.

    No, Israel (and perhaps the US also) would hit Iran with multiple nukes and make most of the country radioactive for the next few centuries.
     
    Centuries, eh? I think you need to educate yourself about the various isotopes that are most likely to be present in fallout. Make a note of their half-lives.

    Now, hypothetical cobalt bombs could cause longer-lasting radioactive contamination. But that brings me to my next point.

    I doubt Iran's nuclear-armed neighbors, such as Pakistan, India, and China, would appreciate any fallout produced by a nuclear attack on Iran. And I believe ground bursts, which generate lots of fallout, would be required to quickly and reliably destroy hardened nuclear launch facilities.

    Then there is the question as to what would the leaders who pushed the button in Iran or NK do afterwards, assuming they survived in a deep mountain fallout bunker?

    They would not find shelter elsewhere in the world. In fact, they would most likely be hunted down for a huge reward and then dismembered in a public square if they came out or could be forced out of their bunkers.
     
    Again, we're not talking about a first strike from Iran, but the practicality of Iran possessing nukes as a deterrent, particularly against Israeli and/or US attack. Obviously they would have nothing to lose by pushing the button on Israel (and regional US bases) if faced with an existential threat.

    What's ironic is that the scenario you describe would apply to Jews around the world if Israel ever attempted to carry out its supposed "Samson option." (Not that Israel has anything close to the number of nukes to destroy even a significant fraction of the world.)

    I could write many more paragraphs on this subject, perhaps talk about EMP’s or dirty bombs or suitcase bombs.
     
    I have no doubt you could, but it would be just as ignorant as what you've written here.

    Sure Iran or NK could make a statement if they decided to attack a neighbor with a nuke weapon but to what avail? There would be nothing left of their countries after they did so.
     
    The point is that they would only use the deterrent if their existence was threatened in the first place.

    It’s time to acknowledge that possessing nukes are not a real protection against superpower countries with thousands of nukes read to launch within minutes and pinpoint, reliable delivery.
     
    It's not an absolute guarantee against attack, but it's a deterrent even against a superpower, provided the superpower is unwilling to accept the damage that even limited nuclear retaliation would bring.

    Why do you suppose the US has essentially ceased its previous saber-rattling against NK? It's simple: although NK could never win a full-blown war against the US, the US is simply not willing to accept the casualties that could result if NK were to respond with nukes to a serious US attack.

Your proposal that they be confined to mental asylums is a humane one. Emperor Justinian use to behead them en mass which I think is warranted but only for those among them who are guilty of rape or molesting children.

    Oh I believe it, antisemite! My best friends neighbors Grandmother survived the holocaust! She was captured in 1941 at the age 34, she literally had her eyes removed and put back in by Mengele! He took a fancy to her and let her have her vision back. She escaped when the roller coaster of death malfunctioned, it was supposed to come to a stop and launch jews into the gas chambers, instead, it launched her OVER the gas chamber, and beyond the fence line. She came across a Nazi soldier who was taking a pee on the side of the road, she took his AR15, beat him with it, then stole his motorcycle and rode to England. Once in England she was treated with compassion by a jewish transgendered family and moved to NYC later in life where she started an investment bank.

  • Here’s the thing. There were many lies about communist atrocities, but many communist atrocities were true.

    Yeah, they lie a lot. The Empire has grown so powerful that it believes reality exists only as a psy-op for its agenda. In a way, post-modern war on ‘truth’ had a way of serving the Power than ‘deconstructing’ it. If reality is always a matter of power and narrative, then there is no need to seek out the truth. It’s only a matter of gaining power and shaping ‘reality’ to fit one’s narrative and agenda.

    Take the Iran nuclear thing. Iran never had nukes and didn’t have a viable plan to make one. It could if it really wanted, but it always wanted to come to a compromise with the West.

    None of that truth mattered. Instead, it was always Iran has nukes or is 2 weeks away from getting them. And most US whore politicians just nodded along.

    So, there you go. The West is more concerned with fantasy nukes in Iran than with real dead bodies in Gaza.

    Priss, you are right about the Iran nuclear thing, in my opinion. I searched my brain for a common thread among the different nations that Americans are told are the enemy. Iran, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, etc...all have something in common but what is it? They're not Muslim. They're not communist. So what is it then? None of them are controlled by the jewish Rothschild Central Banking system. This is why Drumpf is now lambasting the BRICS nations who are having their annual meeting in Brazil right now.

    No, sir. I belong to a Bible Study community affiliated with a non-denominational Church. The reason being our teacher has not only read the KJV Bible front to back 25 times, and counting.

    I'm having a hard time getting your point. Obviously, we disagree, just seems to me you're clutching at straws.
    1. Yes, some ARVN troops fled. That's not unheard of in draftee armies, or even professional ones. The point is that enough stayed to show that Nixon's strategy worked.
    2. Hastings is part of the msm who were controlled by those who supported the communists.
    3. I've done a deep dive into fraggings and the truth that the media and government don't want you to know is that most were racially motivated. Integration of black soldiers didn't work well, increasing mutunies and drug use and damaging morale.
    4. Yes one small outpost in the hills took losses.
    5. The costs of maintaining S Vietnam militarily had nothing to do with ending the war and no savings were realized.
    6. The words of one anonymous soldier supposedly overheard by a journalist aren't really important.

    Replies: @Wielgus, @FTB

    One thing no one has mentioned is the low morale of having a military composed primarily of draftees who were thrown into a war with no grand overarching strategy or defined objective. That was compounded by the hostility they faced from a brainwashed public at home who scapegoated them for an unpopular war.

    One of the things which drove that point home was watching footage of our South Korean allies. The ROK units were composed solely of the most highly trained volunteers who returned home to a hero’s welcome and were given promotions. They didn’t suffer from being marginalized and all the dysfunctions that entailed like we saw here.

    The best way to beat the domestic commies would have been to not hand them the invaluable weapon of a disastrous and costly war that achieved nothing in failing and would have achieved little more in victory. Imagine an alternative history where South Vietnam prevails, and then goes on as the corrupt and repressive “democracy” envisioned; that then would have been invaluable fodder for the Marxists in America.

    Well it worked just fine in Korea.

    In fact there was no better contrast for Communism vs Capitalism.

    The East Germans always used the excuse of having an unfair split. As if 50/50 down the middle would have fixed their economic problems.

    North/South Korea made it all the more obvious that Marx was just plain full of shit.

    Why so many Asians chased the Marxist dream after it failed in Europe was the real question.

    The better way to beat Communism is to attack it early and focus on its leadership. It uses a very predictable structure where they are dependent on a handful of leaders and use workers for enforcement. Those leaders tend to not be from the working class and instead come from middle or upper class families. There is a very limited pool of such leaders that are willing to give up their advantages and are able to direct a revolution. The structure falls apart quickly without them. In college I was surprised by how many leftists were really just mediocre middle class kids that lacked any talent or even basic charisma. The bitter cousin as Mises described them.

    In the early stages of a communist insurgency, the core cadre usually mobilize the students as the most vocal and visible elements.

    The women, clergy ( think the Maryknolls with their Liberation Theology), and artists/entertainers/musicians provide support networks often in the Auxiliary and Underground capacities or assist with PSYOPs.

    The workers, in the more developed target nations, or the peasants in agrarian places like the ones in China and SE Asia, made up the bulk of the main guerrilla forces but only after a revolution had escalated to 3rd Stage insurgency.

    Col. Roger Trinquier’s Modern Warfare is a quick guide on the structure of revolutionary organizations and his proposed counter-insurgency doctrine is a must read.

    https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/Modern-Warfare.pdf

    Backtracking this to Vietnam, by the final years both us and the French were facing an insurgency which had already grew into an internationalized civil war.

    Whether militarily crushing North Vietnam would have ended the conflict decisively is open to question. As retired Army Intel ACE (Analysis & Control Element), Mike Shelby, who was in Afghanistan once pointed out, all it takes is the support of 12-13% of the populace to keep maintain a perpetual insurgency.

    Looking at the history of the Troubles in N. Ireland, I suspect Shelby was correct. PIRA numbered in the tens of thousands but their Active Service Unit cells which carried out the bombings and urban sniping campaigns only numbered 300 at it’s height. And despite Britain deploying it’s most capable forces (Royal Marines, SAS, etc), the IRA was able to fight them to a standstill until the Good Friday Accord.

    Step one. Repent and believe in Jesus Christ, then find an Orthodox Church.
    Step two. Join said church and be catechized and baptized.
    Step three. Pray to God that he give you a good wife and make you a good husband.
    Step four. Go talk to a lady you fancy.

    As to whether St. Paul was askenazi or not? Probably not but it doesn’t matter.
    The minute we give up the first principle that all human beings are made in the image of God (the only real reason not to do genocide) is the minute we become like the idf.

    Notwithstanding, Apostate Israel must be stopped.

    As for the keffiyeh, my Church is an Arab church. They’re a bunch of Syrians so they don’t mind. I however am white and about the farthest thing from a white ethnonationalist as they come, married a lovely Arab girl (they still mostly know how to be women and thus wives). Ethnonationalism is a false god. If we could engineer a great white utopia it would still crumble in 1000 years. There is one Kingdom that is forever. It is Christ’s

    Also, have you seen this? TPTB are attempting to create Schism 2.0 within the Orthodox Church just as they have created and armed the Salafists to fan the flames of sectarianism among Islam.

    It appears only Orthodox Russia and their Muslim allies within the Rus Federation have a good grasp on the spiritual dimensions of this seemingly growing chaotic world.
