Two Perspectives on The Absurd

As I mentioned the other day, I’d been on a bit of a creative tear of late. And if I’ve learned one thing from GRR Martin, it’s that you’d better strike while the iron is at least warm, because you have absolutely no idea when life, the universe, and everything is going to pull the plug on your inspirational spark.

So, I wrote and recorded seven new songs, and added three remixes, in a style that can be reasonably termed Neo-Gothwave and characterized as if The Cure had actually read Albert Camus and hired a female singer. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes, which includes the possibility that an actual band will record everything organically, but for now, suffice it to say that for those who are interested in the musical side, there is a new music video available for viewing at AI Central as well as a philosophical critique of the underlying Absurdist philosophy available for reading at Veriphysics.

I wouldn’t think there would be much in the way of crossover, but at least there is a little something for everyone.

Diversity Kills

The imposters can’t handle it when their manufactured success is exposed for the total fraud that it is.

Aug 12: Jason Arday, a professor at the University of Cambridge and DEI poster boy, has RESIGNED after being accused of plagiarism and lying about his career achievements

August 15: Jason Arday, the Cambridge professor accused of plagiarism and career lies, has just been found DEAD in a south London home.

The tragic aspect of this is that there is no way Mr. Arday concocted this ridiculous persona entirely on his own. He almost certainly had a considerable amount of assistance in doing so, and everyone who “helped” him bears at least some responsibility for his fate.

The Damned Live in Fear

Tucker Carlson places his faith in the right place:

American journalist Tucker Carlson has told RT that he is not afraid of being killed for using his platform to say what he believes is true.

The former Fox News host has adopted a staunch non-interventionist stance toward US involvement in foreign conflicts in recent years, breaking sharply with President Donald Trump on key foreign policy issues such as Washington’s war on Iran and support for Israel. Since leaving the news network, Carlson’s podcast has routinely garnered millions of views and featured high-profile interviews, including a 2024 conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In an exclusive interview with RT’s Rick Sanchez on Wednesday, Carlson said he had “got old enough and insulated enough from the normal levers of control to say what I really think is true. What are you going to do about it? Kill me? OK, I’m not afraid of that. I’m a Christian. So I’m just going to keep talking.

“This Iran war, the war with Russia – these are the things that will destroy the US, and I live here and my family’s been here for 350 years, and… I don’t want to see my country destroyed,” he said.

Let the monsters live in fear. They know they’re damned, so they have to make the most of this life because it’s all they’ve got. For the Christian, death is just the beginning of life.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

A lot of people quite rightly have questions about Tucker and his CIA links. He has almost certainly served as a gatekeeper of sorts in the past. And perhaps he still does, although his recent interviews tend to argue against that. But I don’t think one can reasonably doubt his commitments to either Jesus Christ or America.

The Civilizational Metric

Civilization literally lives when you give men more money and dies when you give women more money. Literally. That’s the Natural Law. And it is screaming at us.

A recent study found that giving men a pay raise led them to have more children, while giving women a pay raise led them to have fewer children.

I’ve long said that feminism is the only political philosophy that is materially worse than communism, socialism, and national socialism. It’s essentially the political philosophy that pairs with satanic theology, and it’s not an accident that feminism has led to mass child murder, the construction of transgenderism, and if Clown World survives long enough, even worse.

The good news is that history very clearly teaches that once Clown World reaches a certain point, it gets wiped out so comprehensively that it takes centuries to recover.

Give Them What They Voted For

The new Labour Prime Minister is going to provide refugees for those who welcomed them most enthusiastically:

There are 17 local authorities with no taxpayer-supported asylum seekers, an analysis by the Daily Mail reveals – as Andy Burnham vows to send more to middle-class areas. The Prime Minister yesterday promised to ensure arrivals are not only placed in the ‘poorest communities’ when he was pressed about proposals for a migrant camp near the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington.

‘All parts of the country need to play their part,’ he said – prompting the Tories to accuse him of wanting to ‘dish out another vindictive punishment beating to the UK’s middle classes’.

Asylum seekers who are waiting for a decision on their asylum claim are often eligible for accommodation and money to cover their living expenses. This is provided by the Home Office, and the migrants themselves are dispersed across the country.

Home Office figures showing the number of supported asylum seekers per local authority at the end of March reveal the areas that currently house no migrants are overwhelmingly rural beauty spots. These include the Cotswolds, Derbyshire Dales, Malvern Hills, the New Forest and the Scottish Highlands.

Others include Mid Devon, East Hertfordshire, Ceredigion (a scenic county in west Wales) and Hart, a 118-square-mile local authority taking in major towns, rural parishes and villages in Hampshire.

I think refugees and immigrants should only be permitted in states and cities where the population specifically voted to support asylum and immigration. Democracy, even in its limited form, has comprehensively failed due to its natural tendency to separate those who support the policies from the consequences of those policies. And in doing so, it becomes a potentially even more unjust system than monarchy.

Sorry, Not Sorry

Posting has been light the last two days, for which I apologize, sort of. Although I would absolutely do it again, so I suppose I’m not actually sorry. Basically, three things are going on:

  1. We had a serious animal emergency yesterday. Fortunately, it survived and is doing much better now. Our neighbors are fantastic and are very much appreciated.
  2. I’ve had very, very little sleep for the last days because I’ve written and produced eight songs of a 10-song album over the last three days. I’ll probably finish the other two before the end of the weekend. It’s neither Psykosonik nor Soulsigma, it’s a neo-gothwave approach that I was contemplating which turned out to work much, much better than I’d ever imagined. You can hear one of the songs here and I’ll post a video of another one called The Myth on UATV and AI Central on Saturday. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that you absolutely have to roll with it when the inspiration hits.
  3. I have to finish The Platinum Tribe by Friday.

No Permission, No Protection

It’s true, Israel doesn’t need the USA’s permission to fight Iran.

BREAKING: The Israeli military has directly informed CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or support from the US to wage war against Iran, adding “we are currently making preparations to start the war,” per Israeli Channel 13.

Israel is preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the US is no longer willing to finish the war on its terms.

Iran has previously threatened to strike Israel’s Haifa oil refinery and Tel Aviv directly as soon as Israel strikes Iran again, with Iran having broken the air defense layer in Jordan and other Arab countries in daily attacks over the last few weeks allowing it to strike Israel more effectively, and with Israel’s own interceptor stocks now critically low leaving it more vulnerable.

Israel is a sovereign nation. It has the right to make its own decisions. And, concomitant with that right is the right to experience the consequences of those decisions, without any subsequent assistance from the US military, regardless of how it turns out.

I don’t see the strategic wisdom in pursuing this war, but then, I’m not privy to the same quantity and quality of information that the Israeli generals possess. And the best thing that the rest of the world can do is let Iran and Israeli sort it out amongst themselves.

No one has ever brought peace to the Middle East, so there is no sense in even trying to do so.

TRANSLATION: Juan Martín el Empecinado

SPAIN, 1811. THE REGULAR ARMIES HAVE FAILED. THE PEOPLE ARE SPAIN’S ONLY HOPE.

Gabriel Araceli rides into the ruined Alcarria to find a countryside stripped bare — burned villages, empty granaries, women digging the fields with hoes, Frenchmen hanging in the trees. Here the war is fought by bands of irregulars: hungry, improvised, ferociously effective. At their head is Don Juan Martín, called el Empecinado, an illiterate farmer who cannot spell his own dispatches and cannot be beaten in the field.

Beside him rides Mosén Antón Trijueque, a giant of an Aragonese priest in a ruined cassock, a tactician of genius and a man eaten alive by envy of the leader he serves. What begins as resentment becomes conspiracy, and conspiracy becomes an ambush in the snow that leaves Gabriel a prisoner of the French, condemned to be shot, alone in a cell with an orphaned child the guerrilleros have adopted as their own.

What follows is escape, pursuit, a night crossing of the frozen sierra, and a reckoning between two enemies that only Galdós could write.

Juan Martín el Empecinado is the ninth book of the Episodios Nacionales, Benito Pérez Galdós’s forty-six-novel account of Spain’s nineteenth century, a sequence long recognised as one of the great achievements of European fiction, and unavailable to English readers for over 150 years.

The ebooks have already been sent to the paid subscribers. Translated by Vox Day, Juan Martín el Empecinado is now available on Amazon for Kindle, KU, and audiobook.

Rumblings in the East

A US general is removed from duty two months early:

Reports are circulating this morning claiming Lt. Gen. Charles D. Costanza, the Commanding General of the U.S. Army’s V Corps, forward based out of Camp Kościuszko, Poland and tasked with the defense of NATO’s Eastern Front, has been removed from command.

NATO’s “eastern Front” is Russia.

The reports allege there has been no official reason given (to the public) for this removal.

The reports conclude that the General had “only two months remaining” on his tenure.

Many, MANY, questions are being asked about this. What did the General do — or refuse to do — that caused his alleged removal?

Clown World wants NATO to go to war with Russia. Their pet politicians will do as they are told, but only to the limits of their capabilities, which are barely capable of keeping the lid on their own captive peoples. Which means that whatever false flags are utilized by the European militaries will have to be overseen, if not necessarily assisted directly, by the US military in Europe.

And while most US generals are not courageous in the political sense, they are not stupid and they are not suicidal. One of the more fascinating things about the various US military defeats is how few casualties have been taken by the US military, even when it is losing. That is a sign that everything isn’t lost as far as the military goes, and I strongly suspect that the generals are very actively obstructing the Trump administration and the other shot-callers for Clown World.

Which may be why Gen. Costanza was removed from command. But I very much doubt they’re going to find any American general willing to help start a completely unnecessary war with Russia that will almost certainly lead to defeat and the Russian occupation of Germany.
