Attention is not Success

If at first you don’t succeed, just tell everyone that you meant to fail:

Jered Threatin, known by the mononym “Threatin”, is a solo artist, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA. He gained notoriety in 2018 following a publicity stunt on his “Breaking the World Tour” where he manipulated social media numbers, ticket sales, and fabricated a number of fake businesses to fool venues and music industry professionals into booking a European tour where he performed in a sequence of empty rooms. This hoax successfully displayed the music industry’s reliance on social media numbers and image. During the event Threatin released a public statement; “What is Fake News? I turned an empty room into an international headline. If you are reading this you are part of the illusion.” The stunt became a viral sensation and obtained mainstream media coverage from The New York Times, BBC News, Variety, The Guardian, NME, Rolling Stone Magazine, and many other major publications.

That’s his version, anyhow. This is how an uninterested party described it.

The short version is this guy faked having a major band to book a “European Tour” and no one showed up. Then people proceeded to make documentaries & news stories about this once the venues were upset with being tricked. When you read his website he spins it as all a publicity stunt to “expose how venues rely on bad social media information.” A.K.A. “jokes on YOU! I WANTED no one to show up to my shows!” haha.

Now, there is truth to the wisdom in turning lemons into lemonaide. And few business plans survive contact with the market intact. One has only to consider the convoluted paths to success of Marufuku Co. Ltd., the Connecticut Leather Company, or even, on a much more modest scale, Castalia Library, to understand the wisdom of flexible ambition.

But media attention is not synonymous with success. Any natural disaster attracts more media attention than even the biggest success. The difference can be seen in whether the course has actually been changed or if it is claimed that the obviously inadvertent deviation was the original objective all along.

And if there is one thing that we have learned over time, it is that gammas are always going to gamma and their jokes are always on you.

Better Late Than Never

A psychiatrist admits that psychiatry is a fake science:

I’ve been practicing psychiatry for 38 years. I love my job, my peers, and my patients. But I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m participating in the biggest intellectual scam of this era. We claim to be a science, but have no understanding how thought or behavior is generated.

Many billions of dollars are spent each year in an industry built on a corrupt body of pseudoscience, cultivated and exploited by monied interests for decades. This scientific fraud has been more successful than any other of our day. Our diagnoses are contrived by our guild,

the APA, with the collaboration of monied interests—and are so unrelated to actual science that they are copyrighted and published to profit that organization.

In the process of selling a corporatist, medication-oriented model of treatment, psychiatry has been stunningly successful in redefining what it means to be a human being. Meanwhile, 20 years of peak psychiatry has resulted in a 30% increase of suicide in the United States—and American psychiatry has absolutely nothing constructive to say about it.

I’d place more confidence in astrology, phrenology, and haruspicy than in psychiatry or psychology. It’s a fake science concocted by a pervert who was projecting his own perversions on humanity. This was always obvious, but what is less obvious is that Keynesian economics is Freudian psychology applied to the economy.

Which makes all modern economics equally fraudulent, since it is Paul Samuelson’s quantification of John Maynard Keynes’s Freudian construct.

Confidence in the Profession

The inversion is complete in UK education:

A Christian teacher has been banned from the profession after “misgendering” a pupil. It is believed to be the first case of its kind in the UK.

The Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) ruled that Joshua Sutcliffe, 33, failed to treat a pupil with “dignity and respect” when he did not protect the pupil’s wellbeing by not using the preferred pronouns of a girl who identified as a boy. Mr Sutcliffe taught maths at The Cherwell School, a state secondary in Oxford’

Alan Meyrick, the TRA’s Chief Executive, has the responsibility of deciding whether or not to impose the ban on behalf of Gillian Keegan, the Education Secretary. He said: “In my view, it is necessary to impose a prohibition order in order to maintain public confidence in the profession.”

This news comes with schools awaiting the first detailed government guidance on how to respond to transgender pupils, which is due to be published this term. It is anticipated that the guidance will advise school leaders to refuse to use different pronouns asked by pupils.

In Clown World, it’s not enough to fire those who insist that there are four lights and two sexes, they must be banned entirely due to their devotion to objective reality. Of course, an inability to distinguish between male and female does not maintain public confidence in teachers, but rather, achieves the complete opposite.

This is why freedom of speech and freedom of expression are pure satanic evils. Because if the wicked inverts are not outlawed, they will outlaw reality.

Owen Drops the Mic

Big Bear asks civic nationalists what an American is:

Here’s a mic drop argument that will destroy civic nationalism in the zeitgeist for your “conservative” and “boomerservative” friends/family that love dunking on budlight/trannys;

The origins of trans-gender had their ideological seeds planted in trans-nationalism. If you can identify as “women” after being born in a male body, why can’t you identify as an “American” if you’re born in Japanese body?

A Japanese person immigrates to the US, files for citizenship and ‘transitions’ into an American because of a piece of paper? So why can’t a male get a legal paper to recognize themselves as a woman so you have to recognize their new identity?

The answer is neither can. A male has a penis, a Nation is a people.

For those of you trolling Matt Walsh telling him to follow up his doc “What is a Woman?” with “What is a jew?” you’re missing the point.

Ask him to make the doc (and it’s time to start asking the question to everyone)

“What is an American?”

This is very similar to the point I’ve long made about the oft-seen misapplication of the civic nationalist’s favorite Bible verse, Galatians 3:28:

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Anyone who uses that verse to deny nationality must also deny both slavery and sex. And anyone who doesn’t is neither honest nor intellectually consistent.

Science Fiction is to Blame

The more we learn about the mediocrities who would rule the world, the more we discover that Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry have much for which to answer:

WEF Says Fashion Will Be Abolished by 2030: “Humans Will All Wear a Uniform”

A newly resurfaced report written in 2019 states that humans will only be permitted to buy three items of clothing per year and will be prohibited from buying or consuming meat. Published in 2019, ‘The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World’ report funded by the WEF, sets out extreme targets for governments around the globe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as consistent with the 2015 Paris Agreement ambitions.

Look at Klaus Schwab. Can you seriously doubt that he’s a Trekkie? And we have firsthand testimony proving that every Keynesian economist was inspired by Asimov’s Foundation. It’s really a retarded world that they are seeking to build.

Celebrate Reduced Life Expectancy

I think we can safely expect this 1998 study on sexual orientation and life expectancy to be debunked and more deeply memory-holed in the future, although the reduced life expectancies from the vaxx could serve to hide some of the reported effects:

Previous estimates from obituaries and pre-1994 sex surveys suggested that the median age of death for homosexuals is less than 50 yr. Four contemporary databases were used to test that estimate: (1) obituaries in the homosexual press from 1993 through 1997 reflected treatment success for those with AIDS but suggested a median age of death less than 50 years; (2) two large random sexuality surveys in 1994–one in the USA and the other in Britain–yielded results consistent with a median age of death for homosexuals of less than 50 years; (3) the median age of those ever married in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway was about 50 years, while that of the ever homosexually partnered was about 40 yr; further, the married were about 5 times more apt to be old and 4 times less apt to be widowed young; and (4) intravenous drug abusers and homosexuals taking HIV tests in Colorado had almost identical age distributions. The four lines of evidence were consistent with previous findings suggesting that homosexual activity may be associated with a lifespan shortened by 20 to 30 years.

This isn’t a surprise. About 15 years ago, I realized that everyone I knew who worked at Wax Trax was dead. Which is why it has always struck me as very strange that the Narrative demanded the celebration of homosexuality when it didn’t celebrate drug addiction, obesity, eating disorders, cancer, or other things that observably threaten one’s health and life expectancy.

Then, of course, “body positivity” was created to celebrate obesity. I guess it’s just a death cult.

BRICS Opts for Gold

This move by the anti-Clown alliance is almost the exact opposite of surprising:

In a surprising move, the BRICS+ countries – a group including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, plus additional emerging economies – plan to introduce a new currency, likely linked to a weight of gold. This plan, set to be unveiled at their annual leaders’ summit conference, marks a significant challenge to the dollar’s reign in international finance.

The initiative, principally driven by Russia and China – the world’s largest gold producers – aims to link the new currency to a specific weight of gold. This strategy leverages their gold-rich status and presents a formidable challenge to the dollar’s pre-eminence. Experts are closely watching the development and analyzing the potential repercussions for global markets.

Understanding the implications of this currency shift requires an exploration of the dollar’s standing in international finance. Traditionally, the dollar has enjoyed an unchallenged position, serving as the world’s primary reserve currency. It’s used widely in international trade, providing stability and convenience to global transactions. However, the introduction of a new gold-linked currency could disrupt this balance, challenging the dollar’s omnipresence and potentially displacing it as the dominant payment currency.

The impact on the dollar will be best understood by gauging its strength in gold rather than comparing it with other currencies. If the gold price rises significantly, it would indicate a devaluation of the dollar and a collapse of confidence in major currencies. While this is speculative at the moment, it’s a possibility that global markets cannot afford to overlook.

It’s exactly the right thing to do to undermine the dollar-based financial system that is one of the two pillars of Clown World: the dollar and the US military. I’ve been wondering what has taken BRICS so long to reach this point, since it was an obvious need, but I suppose there has been considerable negotiation behind the scenes in determining precisely who will get to call the shots.

It’s one thing to be mutually opposed to something, it’s another thing to cooperatively work together. But this is probably the biggest global financial development since Russia unexpectedly survived the multiple waves of sanctions.

And the fact that there will be an objective foundation for the alternative currency will make it extremely attractive to unaligned parties.

Whoever Could it Be?

The mainstream media is already attempting to cover for Hunter Biden:

The Secret Service is carrying out fingerprint and DNA analysis of a bag of cocaine found at the White House to track down its owner.

It comes after the Biden family showed a united front on the Truman balcony for Independence day inviting recovering drug addict Hunter Biden and the rest of the clan to enjoy a dazzling fireworks display.

The dime-sized bag was discovered on Sunday in a cubby hole in the lobby area of the West Wing, where visitors leave their cell phones and other electronics before entering the White House complex.

Even Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot working together couldn’t solve this mystery.

I note that my father served 12 years in prison for not paying taxes on 30 percent less income than Hunter Biden will spend precisely no time in prison for not paying.

The USA can no longer be considered a democracy in any sense, political or legal. Although one can’t reasonably call it an aristocracy either, given the extreme mediocrity of the ticket-takers who are deemed an elite above the common law.

At this point, debaucherocracy might be the more accurate term.
