What we need is MORE Holocaustianity!

 Apparently we are supposed to be very alarmed that growing numbers of young people reject Holocaustianity:

A new US survey brought unexpected results as nearly 11 percent of young pollsters believe the Jews were responsible for the Holocaust, amid a wider trend of shocking ignorance about the Nazi genocide. The 50-state survey on Holocaust knowledge among US Millennial and Gen Z was commissioned by the organization “Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.”

The survey consisted of roughly 1,000 nationwide interviews, with participants selected at random, and a further 200 interviews of young adults aged 18 to 39 in each state. Some 63 percent of all respondents did not know that six million Jews were murdered, while 36 percent thought that “two million or fewer Jews” were killed….

The results shocked the organizers, as, for example, roughly 19 percent of New Yorkers surveyed felt the Jews caused the Holocaust; followed by 16 percent in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Montana and 15 percent in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Nevada and New Mexico.

This is actually much worse news for the Holocaust industry than it looks on the surface. Because, let’s face it, New Yorkers are much, much, much more familiar with Jews than young people in Montana, Minnesota, or Idaho. So, it’s obviously not a question of unfamiliarity with the Holocaust narrative, but rather, disbelief based on experience of those who are relentlessly pushing it. 

Perhaps increasing the number of films and television shows pushing the Holocaustian narrative will help. I think I may have seen one episode of the Big Bang Theory once that didn’t make a reference to the only bad thing that ever happened in history to anyone. Or perhaps a ritual confession could be passed into law, an annual confession made on the date that the Nazi Party passed the Holocaust law, with both criminal and civil penalties for failing to confess your personal culpability for the very baddest thing to ever happen in history to anyone ever.

Killer rhetoric

They don’t care if they’re called communists. They don’t care if they’re called socialists. They don’t care if they’re called the real racists. But it is clear that they really, really, really care about being called a) Fake Americans, b) satanists, and c) pedos, or being (((identified))).

And remember, rhetoric is most effective when it is based on the truth:

PRESIDENT Donald Trump has shockingly shared a post claiming that rival Joe Biden is a pedophile along with a “misleading” video of the former VP whispering into a woman’s ear. 

Trump retweeted the GIF from a conservative Twitter user’s account on Tuesday morning that included the hashtag “#PedoBiden.”

The clip shows former Defense Secretary Ash Carter speaking at a podium during his swearing-in ceremony at the White House in 2015 while his wife, Stephanie Carter, and Biden stand nearby. Biden is seen standing behind Carter with his hands on her shoulders – and briefly whispers in the woman’s ear before she smiles and nods reassuringly. 

While her age is unclear, it’s very clear that Carter is a woman and not a child or underage female.

There’s no evidence to suggest that Biden is a pedophile and claims that he is are unfounded and have no basis in fact.

It’s always fascinating to see how the media tries to shift into pure dialectic mode with a higher standard of proof than is required in a court of law whenever it is trying to defend someone against an effective rhetorical attack. There is, after all, copious video and photo evidence that Creepy Joe is, at the very least, included to make females of every age more than a little uncomfortable.

 

Physics discovers the Mind of God

Sooner or later, the physicists are bound to follow the philosophers in gradually coming to recognize the need to choose between Christianity and nihilism.

Futurism: Your paper argues that the universe might fundamentally be a neural network. How would you explain your reasoning to someone who didn’t know very much about neural networks or physics?

Vitaly Vanchurin: There are two ways to answer your question.

The first way is to start with a precise model of neural networks and then to study the behavior of the network in the limit of a large number of neurons. What I have shown is that equations of quantum mechanics describe pretty well the behavior of the system near equilibrium and equations of classical mechanics describes pretty well how the system further away from the equilibrium. Coincidence? May be, but as far as we know quantum and classical mechanics is exactly how the physical world works.

The second way is to start from physics. We know that quantum mechanics works pretty well on small scales and general relativity works pretty well on large scales, but so far we were not able to reconcile the two theories in a unified framework. This is known as the problem of quantum gravity. Clearly, we are missing something big, but to make matters worse we do not even know how to handle observers. This is known as the measurement problem in context of quantum mechanics and the measure problem in context of cosmology.

Then one might argue that there are not two, but three phenomena that need to be unified: quantum mechanics, general relativity and observers. 99{5274a41d3bd2aa3d5829764fe19e8a7ecbc79c108731aad5f1ff2d292e60e2b4} of physicists would tell you that quantum mechanics is the main one and everything else should somehow emerge from it, but nobody knows exactly how that can be done. In this paper I consider another possibility that a microscopic neural network is the fundamental structure and everything else, i.e. quantum mechanics, general relativity and macroscopic observers, emerges from it. So far things look rather promising.

I’ve long been under the impression that whether it is the Big Bang, the need for a quantum observer, or a universal neural network, modern physics has relentlessly pointed towards the existence of God for those with the intelligence required to understand the evidence. I suspect that is why string theory, which is little more than the usual retreat from science that points in directions that atheists and Prometheans fear, has been holding on despite the fact that there is absolutely zero evidence to support the theoretical framework.

These are fascinating times. Darwin is all but dead, Einstein is being exposed, Ricardo has been destroyed, and postmodernism is fooling no one as it clowns about like a naked emperor in drag.

A Notion of Time

 

Episode 8 of The Forge of Tolkien, A NOTION OF TIME, is now live on #UATV.

What kind of frame would it take to write a convincing time-travel story? What if you were a scholar and wanted to travel back in time? What if your friend had written a space-travel story, and you found the frame unconvincing? In this episode, Professor Rachel Fulton Brown introduces The Notion Club Papers, Tolkien’s second effort at writing a time-travel story, and reads them for what we can learn about Tolkien’s own desire to travel back in time.

Mailvox: the ideas, they spread

 Readers note some familiar ideas popping up in some unfamiliar places.

Holy cow, Michael Anton’s new book reads like he’s been swiping you for years. In fact I’m shocked at how far he and the Claremont Institute are pushing the envelope.

“In sum, America is for the Americans—just as France is for the French, India for the Indians, Israel for the Israelis, Japan for the Japanese, Mexico for the Mexicans, and each of the world’s countries for its particular people. That’s not to say, necessarily, that America should never take in immigrants—though I personally think that, after fifty-five years and at least ninety million newcomers and their descendants, a moratorium is warranted, not least in order to assimilate this latest wave. It is to say that America is not the common property of all mankind, that every one of the world’s nearly eight billion people is not “more American than the Americans.” If everyone in the world is American—actually or potentially—then no one is. The logic of immigration absolutism leads to its own unraveling: in insisting on the universality of Americanness, it strips Americanism of all distinction or meaning. The ruling class welcomes that outcome. Have any of the “conservatives” thought it through?”

It sounds as if he might have read Cuckservative. And then there are these observations on the effects of social justice on an organization:

People like @GadSaad, @ConceptualJames and @PeterBoghossian have been saying once you let social justice in an organization it will eventually destroy it. (Even if well intentioned, it deviates from the core org goals.)

– Dave Rubin

I believe that’s what is called “convergence”. Someone may have written a book or two about it. 

I’m not at all bothered at the fact that the popularizers will be credited for these ideas, as Friedrich von Hayek recognized the problem with social justice and J.S. Mill decades before I did, and the idea that American universality is self-negating is logically inescapable. Anyone who actually thinks the matter through will necessarily reach the same conclusion. We don’t create truth, we can only observe it.

Anyhow, I’m very pleased to observe that my personal radioactivity is proving insufficient to prevent these ideas, and more, from escaping this particular intellectual ghetto and permeating the mainstream discourse.

“We could have some unrest”

Board of Clackamas County, Oregon, Commissioners Emergency Meeting

Thur. Sept. 10, 2020

There are lots of confirmed reports of looting, mostly in the outlying areas, Estacada, Colton, Molalla, Sandy, mostly in the outlying areas. Lots of looting has been taking place, burglaries and whatnot. There’s reports of — and this is not specific to an area but all over the county, both outlying and even closer into town — of people of extremist groups staging gas cans for later destruction. And equally concerning is there are reports of people from other extremist groups, it’s not confirmed Antifa but suspected Antifa — this is more specific to the Estacada area — reports and sightings of people armed with chainsaws. And the goal was to fall telephones poles in hopes of starting further fires.

– Captain Jeff Smith, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department 

After hearing that from Capt. Smith here I’m inclined, Jim [Bernard, Clackamas County Commission Chair], we’ve got to make an appeal to the governor to call in the National Guard. That’s critical information that is very unsettling. There’s not enough law enforcement resources in the sheriff’s department to handle all that. And I’m fine with the curfew county-wide now more so than I was fifteen minutes ago but for crying out loud, we can’t allow a deliberate attack on property and people’s lives and just somehow leave the National Guard out there, sitting at home waiting for the call. 

– Commissioner Paul Savas

The issue, and I’m tied in, I’m sure we all are with our connections in the outlying areas of Clackamas County but it’s not only “Is this Antifa?” but it’s people’s perception that there’s a threat and so we have very strong members of our community that believe in protection of life, property, and we could have some unrest which we need to be measuring the pulse of that in our community. And so it’s beyond a specific group.

– Commissioner Sonya Fischer

Yes, I tend to anticipate that if people perceive a threat that is actually confirmed to be a threat that there just might be a little unrest if the authorities refuse to take any steps to address it. 

UPDATE: In the meantime, Oregon’s catch-and-release policy for Antifa arsonists doesn’t appear to be working very well.

Portland police arrested a man for starting a fire with a molotov cocktail and released him, only to take him into custody again the next day for allegedly setting six more fires. Domingo Lopez Jr., 45, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on Sunday evening after police discovered a blaze set on the side of a freeway. A witness identified the suspect, who admitted to police that he’d set the fire. 

NFL ratings plummet

The early results are in and they do not bode well for the NFL:

Despite two teams with big national followings, SNF snared a 4.7 in early ratings among adults 18-49 and 14.81 million viewers last night. In numbers certain to change, that’s a fall of 28{5274a41d3bd2aa3d5829764fe19e8a7ecbc79c108731aad5f1ff2d292e60e2b4} in the demo and a hard decline of 23{5274a41d3bd2aa3d5829764fe19e8a7ecbc79c108731aad5f1ff2d292e60e2b4} in sets of eyeballs from the early numbers of the the September 8, 2019 SNF season debut. 

More precisely, the decline was from a 7.5 rating among 18-49 and 22.21 million viewers… of a game that New England beat Pittsburgh 33-3. That’s a loss of up to 7.4 million viewers. 

Defense is best when it’s diverse

 Best for whom, one has to ask:

The Ministry of Defence has come under fire for having more diversity and equality officers than the Royal Navy has warships. The figures emerged yesterday, after veterans minister Johnny Mercer told parliament that there were 44 civil servants in the ministry and its executive agencies who had ‘diversity’ and ‘equality’ in their job title. 

In comparison, the Royal Navy possesses only thirteen frigates, six destroyers, two aircraft carriers and eleven submarines, a total of 32.

The MOD has a target of increasing the number of black, Asian and minority ethnic personnel from 8 per cent to 10 per cent. A ministry spokesman told the Times: ‘Defence is at its best when it’s diverse … Our appointment of these diversity and equality officers shows that we are moving beyond platitudes and putting our words into action.’ 

Apparently every single military historian and strategist is wrong, as diversity and inclusion have turned out to be the vital elements for successful warfighting. If only Caesar and Alexander had known!

Conspiracy History

Conspiracy is not theory, it is history. In Machiavelli’s History of Florence, he records literally dozens of conspiracies aimed at controlling the government of a single city. Whether it is the conspiracy to assassinate Giuliano and Lorenzo de’ Medici or the conspiracy of the Duke of Milan with the Canneschi family to dislodge the Bentivogli family from its position of primacy in Bologna in order to disrupt that city’s alliance with Venice and Florence, his history of the Italian peninsula is literally full of documented conspiracies in every single chapter.

And there is evidence – copious evidence – of the Promethean conspiracy to rule the entire world dating back centuries, with more being uncovered all the time.

THE MYSTERIOUS HOTEL AT THE CENTER OF SPYGATE

Hotels play an important role in the story of the Deep State conspiracy against the President who, aptly, made his fortune building hotels. One hotel, however, stands out from the rest. Andaz

The site where the Andaz hotel stands today in the City of London was originally occupied by the Bethlem Royal Hospital. 

The hospital was founded in 1247 by the Italian Bishop of Bethlehem, Goffredo de Prefetti, to care for those deemed insane. By the 1600’s, the institution had become synonymous with madness itself. The locals called it ‘bedlam,’ the word has since entered the English language to mean chaos and disorder.

Due to the cruel and inhumane treatment received by patients, the hospital  closed and moved to another site.

In 1884, the Liverpool Street Hotel (later changed to the Great Eastern Hotel) was built on the former site of the hospital. The architectural giants, Charles and Edward Barry, were the designers. In Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, Dracula, the vampire hunter Van Helsing stays at the Great Eastern Hotel on a visit to London.

In the 1990’s, as the hotel was in the process of being refurbished, engineers noticed discrepancies in the blueprints. Upon further investigation, they discovered a majestic Masonic temple hidden behind false walls.

But it’s all just conspiracy theory, right?  I mean, how crazy would it sound to insist that a famous hotel has a secret Masonic temple hidden inside it? And who, one wonders, was taking part in the occult rituals being performed there? At some point, you are going to have to admit that your blindness to the increasingly apparent reality of the spiritual war surrounding you is an intentional choice on your part.

Hanlon’s Razor is an aphorism designed to mislead the midwitted. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” is simply false. It would be far more accurate to say: “Never attribute to stupidity that which could be motivated by evil.” This is because evil, being intrinsically subject to falsehood, is inevitably going to look stupid at times to anyone who possesses even a modicum of the relevant truth.

The Age of Reason is over

 Karl Denninger notes that humanity is entering a new Dark Age:

The age of reason has failed and we stand on the edge of a new Dark Age.

Let us start with Covid19.

In February Fauci described Covid19 as “akin to a severe pandemic or seasonal flu.”  He was not mistaken; it is.  As I’ve presented, if you do not intentionally kill people with the bug that’s exactly what we have — a flu.

You cannot argue with mathematics.  Attempting to do so is witchcraft.  It is a belief in the occult.  That casting “spells” and “hexes” changes outcomes.  It is the exact opposite of science.

This county has had 13 deaths “from” Covid19.  We know not all of them were actually from Covid19, but how many we cannot determine.  Nobody has put forward the death certificates of the 13 souls who passed.  Why not?  This can be trivially done without names, addresses or other identifying information — simply list the causal chain of death for each.  Where is it?  Not published — not here, nor anywhere.

Yet from 2014-2017 each year about 26 people in this county die of influenza and pneumonia.  Approximately 1,000 people die each year in this county from all causes.  Over six months time we’ve lost 13, which is half of 26, and we’ve undeniably reached suppression, so the rate of death over the last six months is unlikely to be replicated or greater in the next six months.

In other words: Covid19 is the flu.

Sevier County, as near as I can tell, has no nursing homes.  It does have “assisted living” centers, including one less than five miles down the road from my home.  But nursing homes, unlike assisted living centers, are full of people who are incontinent — the rate of incontinence among nursing home residents is approximately 40{5274a41d3bd2aa3d5829764fe19e8a7ecbc79c108731aad5f1ff2d292e60e2b4}.

We knew in February this bug expressed in feces.  We knew it conclusively.  We knew it spread from aerosolized feces too, because it did — twice, in documented form, in two apartment buildings that had no P-Traps on the sinks — one in Wuhan and another in Hong Kong.  There was no other plausible explanation for how the people who got the bug in those buildings were infected.  These sorts of shortcuts are horrifyingly stupid yet common in SE Asia; the $5 that a P-trap costs is simply not paid, building codes be damned.

One of the alleged “seminal” papers on how Covid19 is spread was peer-reviewed at the beginning of June.  It was claimed in that paper that the bug was primarily droplet-spread and the paper explicitly stated that the bug was responsive to the inverse of absolute humidity — which is a property of physics that all droplet carried contamination follows.  It is the reason we have a “flu season.”  The problem with this claim is that it was “reviewed” in early June and by early June we knew this claim was documented to be false as there were outbreaks all over the United States in places with 100 degree temperatures and 90+{5274a41d3bd2aa3d5829764fe19e8a7ecbc79c108731aad5f1ff2d292e60e2b4} relative humidity.  In other words despite the predicate claim that the reason NY got hit so hard was that it was still “winter” by summer you couldn’t run that load of bull**** any longer as the virus was spreading in extraordinarily hot and humid conditions.  Yet the paper’s entire premise and conclusion was based on nothing more than witchcraft as the base claim upon which everything else rested was disproved prior to publication.

The journal in question has not withdrawn it themselves, the authors have not repudiated it, the WHO and CDC have not disavowed it and every one of them know it’s bull****.  We’re several months beyond this and yet all through summer the virus has raged.  This is proof, beyond any reasonable scientific doubt, that “droplets” are not the primary means of transmission.

The Prometheans sold everyone on the lie that Reason and Christianity were incompatible. That was the core falsehood of the so-called Enlightenment. But it is now undeniable that to the extent the latter has been rejected, the former has been lost.
