You can actually smell the peace. On the plus side, we should get at least two bang-up episodes of The Rookie out of this.
Peaceful Protests in LA
Author: VD
The Dissolution Proceeds
President Trump deploys the military against the foreign color revolutionaries across the USA:
Numerous incidents of violence and disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property.
To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.
In light of these incidents and credible threats of continued violence, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations.
Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority.
The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.
To carry out this mission, the deployed military personnel may perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and safety of Federal personnel and property.
The Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security prior to withdrawing any personnel from any location to which they are sent.
The Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security may delegate to subordinate officials of their respective Departments any of the authorities conferred upon them by this memorandum.
Note that this is the inevitable result of mass immigration that was predicted by proto-nationalists decades ago. It is why the entire immigration debate about crime and economics was always irrelevant and fundamentally missing the point. The reason for banning immigration and protecting the nation’s demographics, as was done in the early 1920s, is to preserve the nature of the society.
A Christian European English-speaking society is always going to be fundamentally different in a broad panoply of ways from a poly-pagan, multiracial, multilingual society, and the transformation from the former to the latter was inevitably going to be an anti-civilizational degradation.
If Western civilization and societies are going to be restored, there is going to be war, the mass movement of peoples, and the shattering of various organizations and political frameworks, none of which is going to be pleasant for anyone. And yet, that will be much better than the two alternatives of a) a continued descent into chaos or b) the despotic rule of satanic globalists.
The Spanish restored their civilization and society with the Reconquista. That will be the model for the American restoration, if there is to be one.
America is Gone
The current demographics fail the Twin Peaks metric.
I’m rewatching the show Twin Peaks. It’s a window in time to what this country was like just a quarter of a century ago. Nearly every character is White, and the few minorities stand out like tarantulas on an angel food cake. Everyone dresses well. They are all of normal weight. The women are all feminine and clearly strive to be attractive. It’s a painful, sad reminder of how much we’ve lost. And the incongruity of the commercials, with every actor either Black or Brown, makes it even more glaringly obvious. This country is gone.
It is gone. America is not, and never was, an idea. It was a historical nation, just like any other. You cannot have an American nation and also have a Mexican population, and Indian population, various Asian populations, various African populations, various Arab populations, and half the Jewish nation, and think that the resulting society and institutions are going to be the same, or even reasonably approximate, anymore than you can adulterate a pure substance and expect it to remain pure.
And since the USA has been demographically adulterated, it is no longer an American nation and it will not survive as a singular entity. This is not difficult and this is not ideology. It is simply inevitable.
Both the Chinese and the Russians are fully aware of this, which is why they’re not in any hurry to provoke an unnecessary confrontation with a US military they know will no longer effectively exist within 20 years. Recall the name of the book written by the man who is China’s chief strategist: America Against America.
I saw all of this coming more than 20 years ago. Do you imagine that Wang Hunin didn’t?
No, He Whispered
The airwaves are extended gutters and the gutters are full of dirty water and when the baths finally overflow, all the tubcuddlers will drown. The accumulated filth of all their alleged misdeeds will foam up over their heads and all the VP readers and UATV subscribers will look up and shout “for the love of all that is good and holy, will you PLEASE show us some fragment of mercy and stop releasing tracks about the Tubcuddler?”
… and I’ll look down and whisper “No.“
The Transgressions mix just might be my favorite. It doesn’t have the amazing guitars of The Corinthian mix, the funk of the Coraline’s Eyes mix, or the effervescent contempt of the Hot Water mix, but it has a dark and grinding vibe that could almost be a Soulsigma song. And that now marks 50 songs in the Voxophonik catalog on UATV, a number almost certainly destined to grow rapidly now that Suno has added a feature that allows the remixing of organic tracks, which has already produced mindblowing results.
You won’t get clean again no matter how you scrub and scrub.
The Collapse of Scientific Materialism
And the end of the Enlightenment. Ted Gioia correctly observes ten warning signs of the comprehensive collapse of the knowledge system known as “modernity”.
- Scientific studies don’t replicate.
- Public distrust of experts has reached an intensity never seen before.
- The career path for knowledge workers is breaking down—and many only have unpaid student loans to show for their years of training and preparation.
- Funding for science and tech research is disappearing in every sphere and sector.
- Universities have lost their prestige, and have made enemies of their core constituencies.
- Plagiarism is getting exposed at all levels from students to corporations—and all the way to Harvard’s president. But the authorities just take it for granted.
- AI is imposed everywhere as the new expert system. But when it hallucinates and generates ridiculous responses, the authorities (again) take this for granted.
- Science and technology are increasingly used to manipulate and exploit, not serve. People now see actual degradation in every sphere of technology.
- Scandals are everywhere in the knowledge economy (Theranos, Sam Bankman-Fried, collapsing meme coins, COVID, etc).
- We hear constant bickering about “fake science”—from all political and ideological stances. Nobody talks about “true science.”
All of these things are the direct result of the subversive attack on Christendom by Clown World. It is not possible to have science without truth, and it is not possible for Man to recognize truth while rejecting Truth. Modernity is a spiritual and philosophical sickness that is based upon a false foundation of subversion and groundless pride.
Every virtue of Clown World is a vice. Every stated truth is a lie. And it is not possible to build anything, from a functioning school to a thriving society, on what is, in the end, a philosophy of parasites.
What comes next is collapse, followed by the harsh and pitiless rule of those whose devotion to God, truth, and beauty will no know mercy for those who ruined the world due to their stupid and futile ambition to make themselves gods.
A Coming Catastrophe
By way of Simplicius, a pro-Kiev regime journalist and soldier reports that more than 90,000 Ukrainian troops have deserted since the beginning of 2025:
A military catastrophe is coming: More than 90,000 since the beginning of the year – a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier on the scale of desertion in the troops
Kiev journalist Boyko, who serves in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports the shocking scale of flight from the army.
In the first 5 months of 2025, 90,590 criminal cases were registered on the facts of escape from military units:
January – 18,145,
February – 17,809,
March – 16,349,
April – 18,331,
May – 19,956.
A total of 213,722 cases of desertion have been registered since the beginning of the Second World War.
Boyko notes that these data reflect only those cases for which criminal proceedings have been initiated; the real situation is much worse .
According to him, deserters are not actually sought out; they do not return to service.
“The reason for the military catastrophe approaching Ukraine is obvious: the demonstrative evasion of mobilization by court fabulists like Sternenko, Leshchenko or Bigus, mass shabuning – when tens of thousands of shabunins, vakarchuks, kipianis and other leaders are fictitiously listed in the troops and the lack of law and order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, caused by the liquidation of the military prosecutor’s office in 2019,” he writes.
Boyko also notes that in reality there are from 30 to 50 thousand Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers on the LBS from the Ukrainian side.
This is why the Kiev strategists have increasingly resorted to operations that are nothing more than PR stunts. They don’t even have enough soldiers to prevent the Russians from taking anything that Vladimir Putin decide to take. The only thing holding back the Russians at this point is their patience, their disinclination to take unnecessary casualties, and their desire to avoiding excessively panicking Washington.
Europe and the UK are already panicking, but the Russians don’t care about that. So the sooner Kiev offers an unconditional surrender, the better off everyone will be, especially the beleaguered Ukrainian soldiers.
Hell No, They Won’t Go
It would appear Ukrainian men are no longer willing to be conscripted and fed into the maw of the Russian military machine:
A senior recruitment officer has reportedly been killed in a car explosion in Ukraine’s Odessa Region on Friday, according to police and local media reports.
Investigators suspect the blast was intentional and may have been triggered remotely. Odessa regional police confirmed one fatality and said an investigation is under way, but did not name the person who was killed when a vehicle exploded in a village in Berezovsky District.
Law enforcement sources cited by local media said that the vehicle belonged to a local draft office. The Southern Courier named the victim as Colonel Oleg Nomerovsky, a top official at a regional military recruitment center.
While it could have been Russian intelligence behind the assassination, the fact that it was a car bomb and not a missile strike tends to indicate disaffected Ukrainians or Novyrussian rebels were responsible. To be honest, I’m a little surprised it has taken this long for the Ukrainian resistance to the draft to become violent, as it’s obviously a lot safer to fight rear-echelon UFA recruiters than frontline Russian troops.
But I suppose it takes an amount of time and a considerable amount of counternarrative information to eliminate the lasting effects of a relentless propaganda campaign, especially in the minds of naturally patriotic young men. I doubt it would take nearly as long for similar resistance to appear if the British or German governments were foolish enough to attempt to impose a draft on the very sort of young nationalists they’ve been persecuting for years in the name of diversity, immigration, and inclusion.
Regardless, this is another sign that the UFA’s will to resist Russia is crumbling, and that the rapid advance phase across the next six provinces expected this summer has likely already begun.
The Vessel of Dreams
Since Neil Gaiman presumably won’t be publishing anything ever again, it falls to AI to imagine what might have been.
The bathtub was a vessel of dreams, a porcelain ship adrift in a sea of steam and possibility. Neil sank into the warm embrace of the water, the world outside dissolving into a haze of muted sounds and soft light. A book rested on the edge of the tub, its pages slightly curled from the humidity, waiting to transport him to realms where gods walked among mortals and shadows held secrets too vast for the daylight. In one hand, he held a cup of tea, its aroma mingling with the scent of lavender bubbles, while the other hand trailed lazily in the water, stirring ripples that danced like fleeting thoughts. This was his sanctuary, a place where stories whispered to him from the edges of his mind, where the mundane melted away, and the extraordinary took root. Sometimes, he would close his eyes and let the water hold him, imagining he was floating through the stars or sinking into the depths of an ancient, forgotten ocean. The bathtub was not just a place to wash away the day; it was a portal, a liminal space where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurred, and where the next story always began.
UPDATE: The musical rendition of this has been released on UATV. It is beautifully… disturbing.
Oh, this bath is a vessel of dreams
Sailing through stars on a whisper of steam
Gods in the water with demons and sin
Let the world wait
Let the stories begin
AI Estimate for US Breakup
I asked Deepseek to estimate when the political entity known as the USA would fragment, and a probability estimate for the collapse to begin in 2033 specifically.
Predicting the exact year of a potential political breakup of the United States is highly speculative, but we can approach the question by analyzing historical precedents, current trends, and structural vulnerabilities. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Historical Lifespan of Political Entities
- The average lifespan of a historical empire or large nation-state is roughly 200-250 years (e.g., Roman Republic ~500 years, Soviet Union ~70 years, British Empire peak dominance ~200 years).
- The U.S. is currently 248 years old (1776–2024), placing it in the upper range of historical longevity for republics.
2. Key Stressors Increasing Fragmentation Risk
- Political Polarization: The U.S. is experiencing unprecedented ideological division, with states increasingly governed by diametrically opposed policies (e.g., abortion, gun laws, climate policy).
- Cultural & Regional Divides: Distinct political identities have solidified (e.g., “Greater Appalachia” vs. “Left Coast” in American Nations by Colin Woodard).
- Economic Disparities: GDP disparities between states (e.g., California vs. Mississippi) create tensions over federal resource allocation.
- Loss of Institutional Trust: Declining faith in federal government (Congress approval ~20%, Supreme Court polarization).
- External Shocks: A major crisis (economic collapse, climate disaster, or AI-driven labor disruption) could accelerate disintegration.
3. Most Vulnerable Breakup Scenarios
- Soft Secession: States or regions (e.g., Texas, California) increasingly nullify federal laws, leading to de facto autonomy.
- Constitutional Crisis: A contested election or refusal to accept election results could trigger state-level rebellions.
- Decentralization via Technology: Blockchain, AI governance, or parallel economies could enable regions to bypass federal systems.
4. Predicted Timeline
Based on historical patterns and current trends, the most plausible range for initial breakup movements is 2030–2070, with key inflection points:
- 2030s: If polarization worsens and a crisis (e.g., debt default, climate migration) overwhelms federal cohesion, states may test autonomy.
- 2040–2060: Demographic shifts (e.g., non-white majority, aging population) could fuel regional tensions over representation.
- Baseline 2033 Probability: 8% (most likely outcome: no breakup).
- With Crisis: 15–20%.
- With Multiple Crises + Secessionist Surge: 25–35%.
Conclusion: While 2033 is too early for a spontaneous breakup, an external shock or constitutional crisis could push risk into the 15–25% range. The most likely window remains 2040s–2060s.
I see no reason to alter my original estimate. But it’s interesting to see that what was perceived as an impossibility back in 2004 has now risen to an 8 percent probability sans any crises. Either way, most of you reading this will live to see the end of the USA as it is presently comprised.
The Irrelevance of the US Navy
China and Iran have just rendered the US Navy irrelevant, as it no longer has the ability to a) infringe upon Iran’s ability to export oil or b) prevent China from obtaining oil. This may be the most significant thing to happen on the global scene since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation in 2022.
China and Iran have launched a new rail route that directly links their economies and bypasses U.S. naval power and sanctions. The corridor shortens delivery times, facilitates Iranian oil exports, and strengthens Beijing-Tehran cooperation across the region.
- The first cargo train from Xi’an, China arrived at Iran’s Aprin dry port near Tehran, marking the start of a new China-Iran rail route.
- This rail line cuts freight travel time from Shanghai to Tehran from 30 days by sea to just 15 days by land.
- Railway officials from six nations, including China and Iran, met in Tehran on May 12 to coordinate transcontinental trade standards.
- The China-Iran rail connection enables oil shipments from Iran to China and the movement of Chinese goods to Europe without U.S. naval oversight.
- China and Iran signed a 25-year, $400 billion economic cooperation agreement in 2021 as part of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative.
The successful launch of the Xi’an-Tehran rail link is yet another demonstration of how the US has lost its global hegemony and superpower status. It is still a primary regional power, but it’s ability to project power has been significantly constrained and is now limited to Western Europe and the Americas.
At this point, it is reasonable to suspect that China’s regional dominance over Asia, Africa, and Persia is now more important than the USA’s regional dominance over the Americas and Western Europe, especially since the remnants of Clown World that rule Western Europe are directly opposed to the American national interest.
The current US political structure may not even make it to 2033, which, you may recall, I first predicted publicly 21 years ago, in 2004.
