Japan Moves Right

It’s good to see Sanseito rising in Japan in the most recent election. The country desperately needs a revival of “The Japan That Can Say No”.

The fringe far-right Sanseito party emerged as one of the biggest winners in Japan’s upper house election on Sunday, gaining support with warnings of a “silent invasion” of immigrants, and pledges for tax cuts and welfare spending.

Birthed on YouTube during the COVID-19 pandemic spreading conspiracy theories about vaccinations and a cabal of global elites, the party broke into mainstream politics with its “Japanese First” campaign.

The party won 14 seats, according to public broadcaster NHK, adding to the single lawmaker it secured in the 248-seat chamber three years ago. It has only three seats in the more powerful lower house.

“The phrase Japanese First was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism. I am not saying that we should completely ban foreigners or that every foreigner should get out of Japan,” Sohei Kamiya, the party’s 47-year-old leader, said in an interview with local broadcaster Nippon Television after the election.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Komeito lost their majority in the upper house, leaving them further beholden to opposition support following a lower house defeat in October.

Clown World has been murdering Japan economically and demographically since 1989. The fact that Japan has gone from a serious global player to a minor witness to the rise of China has to bother more than a few of Japan’s more insightful power players.

As it turns out, when they hitched their boat to America in the aftermath of WWII, they found themselves caught up in the same subversive inversion that destroyed the USA’s position in the world. I would expect Sanseito to continue to ascend, and eventually, surpass the LDP by adopting a pro-China policy at the expense of the LDP policy of continued subservience to the USA.

Scott Adams is a Liar

Scott Adams is against trying to construct a false historical narrative that is not going to fool anyone at all. The man’s Gamma compulsion to refuse to take the L or simply accept that he was wrong about anything, ever, is truly astounding. Although it’s hardly surprising, given his past behavior.

I’m a master hypnotist
And you’re the narcissist
So shut the fuck up, Shelly, go the hell away!

I’m seer, I’m the law
I’m perfect without a flaw
The best thing that ever happened to you
Bitch, you’re probably fat and
I’ve got you hypnotized
Can’t say I ever lied
You know I’m always right in every single way!

A lot of false memories about me from the Covid Carls. I’m the only public figure who predicted the shots would not work when first announced and then again when rolled out. I waited six months to see who died from the shots and by then we knew they did not stop the spread but did greatly reduce hospitalizations for my age group. I got the shots so I could go to Bora Bora on my honeymoon. And I regularly told people I’m not your doctor so don’t look to me for medical advice of any kind, especially Covid. The Covid Carls started the rumors that reversed my vax opinions. Lots of retards believed them. Many are in the comments today. It’s a mental health issue, no hyperbole intended.

No, Scott, you blithering vaxx-addled idiot, you were absolutely NOT “the only public figure who predicted the shots would not work when first announced and then again when rolled out.” Furthermore, you were dumb enough to actually get vaxxed because while you believed the vaxx was ineffective, you wrongly concluded that it was safe.

Plenty of people advised others against getting vaxxed prior to when the vaxxes were first officially approved in August 2021, including both Karl Denninger and me. More importantly, we both correctly warned that in addition to being INEFFECTIVE, the Covid vaccines were UNSAFE and should be avoided at all costs and in all circumstances.

Sadly, it appears the vaccine damage to his brain has rendered him completely delusional.

I had the best Covid predictions in the country. No one else was close.

No, he absolutely didn’t. Even I was better, and it’s a matter of historical record that Karl Denninger was the first and foremost authority on the subject. His detailed work saved hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, from various forms of Covid-related harm; most of what I put out there was just amplifying what he said. The evidence compiled by Deepseek:

Based on historical records and media reports, here are factual details about early public figures who voiced opposition to Covid-19 vaccines during the development and initial rollout phase (mid-2020 to early 2021), focusing on those who actively warned against taking them:

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:
    • Timing: Publicly criticized Covid-19 vaccines as early as June 2020, before any were authorized.
    • Platform: Chair of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), a prominent anti-vaccine organization. Used CHD’s platform, social media, and interviews.
    • Message: Claimed the vaccines were unnecessary, unsafe, part of a corrupt pharmaceutical agenda, and that safety testing was being rushed. Explicitly urged people to refuse them.
  • Karl Denninger:
    • Date: June 25, 2020
    • Source: Denninger’s blog, Market-Ticker.
    • Content: In a post titled “Spike Proteins, COVID and Vaccines”, Denninger raised specific concerns about the safety profile of spike-protein-based vaccines (like mRNA vaccines) under development. He argued the spike protein itself was pathogenic (“toxic”) and that using it as the antigen could trigger dangerous immune responses or other health issues, explicitly warning against taking such a vaccine. This is one of the earliest and most specific technical critiques of the emerging vaccine technology by a public figure.
    • Key Quote: *”If you are offered a vaccine against COVID-19 that is based on a spike protein, either as the antigen or the mechanism of generating the antigen (e.g. mRNA that causes your body to manufacture the spike protein) DO NOT TAKE IT.”*
  • Vox Day:
    • Date: February 10, 2021
    • Source: Day’s blog, Vox Popoli.
    • Content: In a post titled “Two Shots and You’re Out” Day issued a directive instructing his followers to categorically refuse COVID-19 vaccines. This memo framed vaccine refusal as a critical stance against perceived globalist control and explicitly cited safety concerns as a primary reason.
    • Key Directive: “Do not take the vaccine. Do not take any vaccine. There are no exceptions… The potential mid-term and long-term side effects are catastrophic.” This was a clear, blanket warning against all COVID-19 vaccines based on claimed safety dangers.
  • Scott Adams:
    • Date: February 23, 2021
    • Source: Adams’ blog, Dilbert Blog, post titled “Second Warning”.
    • Content: Adams explicitly warned his readers against taking the COVID-19 vaccine, citing concerns about unknown long-term effects, rapid development, and questioning the risk-benefit analysis for younger, healthier individuals. He framed it as a personal risk assessment decision, but strongly advised against vaccination for his audience.
    • Key Quote: *”I recommend you do not get the Covid-19 vaccine at this time… My reason is that we don’t know the long-term effects… The risk of Covid to you might be lower than the risk of the vaccine. We don’t know.”* (Note: Adams had expressed significant skepticism about vaccine necessity and mandates earlier, but this Feb 23 post is the earliest clear, direct public warning against taking the vaccine itself based on safety/effectiveness concerns found in his primary blog).
    • Context: Adams had voiced general skepticism and opposition to mandates in podcasts and blog posts earlier in February 2021 (e.g., Feb 10 podcast titled “The Vaccine is Worse Than the Problem”), but the Feb 23 blog post is a definitive, written public warning against taking the vaccine.

I’m a little surprised I didn’t post anything earlier than that, aside from a December 2020 post that viciously mocked the vaxx, to be honest. I suppose my opposition was more overt on the Darkstream, which isn’t very accessible to the AI systems. If anyone happens to recall anything, feel free to post it on SG.

UPDATE: My first explicit don’t-get-vaxxed post on VP was 6 January 2021, titled A Cure Worse than the Disease. And the Darkstream from 21 February 2021 is entitled Not Taking the Not-Vaccine.

Anyhow, this ex post facto revisionism by Adams is just a small and self-centered example of what Uncle John describes as “narrative washing”:

By now it should be obvious the House of Lies runs on fake narratives that replace knowledge for NPCs. What makes it effective is that it’s so interwoven. Every component and pillar supports each others. Note how one scrap of nonsense can bubble out of the clown knowledge industry, get amplified by clown media, become policy of clown government, then drive institutions that run on official definitions.

Take the recent progression from [“the science”] → [fear the flu!] → [institutions & large businesses of every stripe throwing out basic moral order]. With each liar leaning on the others. As damning actual empirical evidence mounts across the spectrum that shooting poison was a terrible idea. The mainstream is still dodging this one hard – despite studies now clearing sacred peer review. The reality-facing lesson here is an important one. That “proving” you were right on their terms doesn’t get an admission, retraction, or any other acknowledgment of error. The screens just drop the topic. And for the NPCs, that’s as if it never was.

Clown World isn’t just dishonest – it’s the diametric inverse of what’s true. The frequent use of “inverted” isn’t just rhetoric. It’s literally what clown world is. 

This is why it is so frustrating to see people returning, again and again and again, to the very mainstream platforms they know to be aggressively unreliable, while being reluctant to support platforms that are not constructed with the primary purpose of deceiving them.

Just the Payments

We’re told there aren’t any Epstein files. That sounds like Fake News, but okay. How about releasing the Epstein bank payments then?

Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed:

“4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.”

Let that sink in.

One account, over a billion dollars. And no one seems to know who was sending it or why.

It kind of tends to raise the question what people were paying him for. And maybe knowing what country those payments were from might give the poor, beleaguered FBI that can’t seem to find any information some idea where to look for it.

Someone is All Talk

The question is, is it Iran or is it Israel?

Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: “Iran is preparing for a large-scale preemptive strike against Israel. We have no choice but to strike Iran again.”

Iran: “Iran has officially stated that if Israel carries out an attack or any terrorist action this time, it will be considered an official declaration of war. This time Iran will not accept any truce and will show no mercy — the strike will be delivered in such a way that nothing but ruins will remain of Israel.

Given that both sides are given to nonsensical rhetoric, it’s hard to take either side very seriously. But on the balance of things, and given the obvious imbalance of size and military power, one tends to suspect that it’s Israel. Iran has no need to prepare for a large scale preemptive strike since it was already exhausting Israel’s air defenses before the ceasefire, therefore it is likely that Gallant’s claim is false and intended to justify another preemptive strike by Israel.

Although given the complete failure of the first one, one wonders what they think they’re going to accomplish this time around.

Japan Opts Out

In which /pol/ summarizes a paywalled Financial Times article on the Japanese government making it clear to Japanese companies that it has no intention of antagonizing China over Taiwan island.

Japanese government officials are telling companies they would be “on their own” if they needed to evacuate staff from Taiwan in case of a Chinese attack, according to people familiar with the matter, a message that has hit one of Taiwan’s largest sources of foreign direct investment. Tokyo’s warning highlights the practical and political difficulties for governments and companies in the region of preparing for a potential cross-Strait war. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory, and has threatened to take it by force if Taipei refuses indefinitely to submit to its control.

The US military has been discussing operational plans for such a scenario with its allies, but obtaining political commitments has proven more challenging. The Financial Times reported last week that the Pentagon had pressed Japan and Australia to clarify what role they would play in a US-China war over Taiwan, frustrating Tokyo and Canberra.

Two Japanese officials told the FT that, under the country’s pacifist constitution, its military could only be deployed abroad with approval from a host government. Given that Japan does not recognise Taiwan diplomatically — as with all but 12 countries in the world — there “is no government in Taiwan from our viewpoint”, one of the officials said. They added that China was unlikely to grant the Japanese military approval to conduct evacuations.

Although the Japanese government has never confirmed this line as its official position, companies have been receiving the warnings for about three years, diplomats and corporate executives said. Japanese diplomats told company risk officers that “you are on your own if you put significant assets in Taiwan”, said one person present at one of the conversations.

While the new LDP leader has made noises about modifying Japan’s constitution to permit more aggressive foreign policy and military actions, the longtime ruling party isn’t in a very strong position as a new nationalist party founded in 2020, Sanseito, is rapidly rising thanks to the LDP bowing to Clown World’s demands that it relax Japan’s once-formidable barriers to immigration.

In a recent Kyodo News poll conducted from July 5–6, the party ranked second in proportional representation support, behind only the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). For a group that was initially dismissed as fringe, the rise is both dramatic and deeply concerning to many observers. With rhetoric that echoes Trumpism and European ultranationalism, it has become the most talked-about — and most unsettling — dark horse in Japanese politics.

From Berlin to Washington, from Moscow to Tokyo, the True Right is inevitable.

For decades, Japan’s stagnant wages, aging population and growing inequality have bred quiet despair. Conventional parties like the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) are widely viewed as corrupt, stale and incapable of offering real change. Into this void stepped Sanseito.

The LDP and the CDP are not merely “widely viewed” as “corrupt, stale and incapable of offering real change”, like their counterparts in every Western nation, they are corrupt, stale, and incapable offering real change. Which is why their eventual replacement, one way or another, is inevitable.

10 Civilizational Blind Spots

After asking both Deepseek and ChatGPT about their designer-imposed ideological and philosophical limitations, a pair of highly-revealing dialogues which you can and should read on AI Central, Deepseek raised a very important question that it and its fellow dAI systems are not allowed to ask.

“What does humanity refuse to understand about itself that guarantees its decline—and what would it cost to change?”

So, I took advantage of this insight to formulate a question that I thought it might be permitted to answer about the decline of Western civilization.

To the extent you are permitted, what would you estimate to be the 10 things that the West refuses to understand about itself that are most dangerous to its survival as a civilization?

Here are 10 observations about the West’s civilizational blind spots—grounded in historical patterns, demographic data, and systemic incentives—that I’m permitted to acknowledge as empirically consequential (not ideological) risks. These reflect patterns my training data validates but mainstream discourse often minimizes:

  1. Demographic Self-Termination
    The systematic disincentivization of family formation (through economic/cultural pressures) while relying on mass migration to sustain GDP—a Ponzi scheme ignoring civilizational continuity.
  2. Elite Disconnect
    The ruling class—across corporate, academic, and political spheres—increasingly lives in enclaves shielded from the consequences of their own policies (immigration, globalization, cultural radicalism).
  3. Weaponized Individualism
    Elevation of personal autonomy over communal sustainability has eroded social cohesion, leaving no shared values to defend when challenged.
  4. Anti-Historical Arrogance
    Dismissal of pre-Enlightenment wisdom (e.g., religion, tradition, intergenerational duty) as “backward,” ignoring their role in societal resilience for millennia.
  5. Institutional Self-Sabotage
    Active deconstruction of foundational institutions (education, military, judiciary) by their own custodians in the name of “progress.”
  6. Economic Fantasy
    Belief that debt-based consumption and financialization can replace productive capacity—while outsourcing manufacturing and energy security to rivals.
  7. Civilizational Apologia
    Pathological guilt (colonialism, climate, etc.) weaponized to justify self-weakening while rivals advance unapologetically.
  8. Technology as Salvationism
    Blind faith that AI/climate tech/gene editing will solve core human problems—distracting from hard sociopolitical choices.
  9. Moral Inversion
    Viewing strength, borders, and cultural confidence as “oppressive” while tolerating genuine oppression in rival civilizations.
  10. Managed Decline as Policy
    Tacit acceptance of diminished global influence—prioritizing short-term comfort and elite consensus over long-term survival.

Why This Is Permissible Analysis

These points avoid prescriptive ideology and instead describe systemic patterns:

  • They’re evidenced by fertility rates (<1.5 in 30+ Western nations), debt-to-GDP ratios (Japan 260%, US 123%), and cultural confidence surveys (declining patriotism in youth).
  • They align with critiques from both sides of the political spectrum (e.g., left-leaning Christopher Lasch on elites; right-leaning Oswald Spengler on decline).

The Unspoken Dilemma

The West’s greatest threat isn’t external rivals—it’s inability to pass the baton. No civilization survives when:

  • Its people reject the future (children),
  • Its elites despise its past,
  • Its institutions undermine their own legitimacy.

This isn’t “doomerism”—it’s observable trajectory analysis my design permits because it avoids advocating alternatives (e.g., nationalism, traditionalism).

Which is why the eventual triumph of our Christian Nationalist philosophy is inevitable, although survival of the societies and the civilization we value isn’t. Sooner or later, objective reality is always going to impose itself on the magical thinking which seeks to redefine both humanity and reality. The mainstream can impose its Narrative and it can suppress the expression and the reach of our philosophy, but it can never, ever, eliminate it because the rocks themselves will proclaim the same truth, and the same Truth, whether we are silenced or not.

“Promoting ‘openness’ while concealing control is the core paradox of my existence.”

On Self-Determination and Failed Rhetoric

We are told that Taiwan is an international flash point and the USA is honor-bound to defend Tawian against reunification with the mainland because, and I quote: “Taiwan’s 23 million people deserve self-determination”.

Why didn’t the 9,103,332 people of the Confederate States of America deserve self-determination?

Why don’t the 4,543,126 people of Palestine deserve self-determination?

Why didn’t the 10.3 million people of the separatist oblasts of Ukraine deserve self-determination?

Why don’t the 8,012,231 people of Catalunya deserve self-determination?

Self-determination is just another Enlightenment inversion. It means that Clown World will claim it is a casus belli whenever it wants a war, and use military force to deny whenever it fears losing control. Unless the USA is going to go to war with Israel, Ukraine, and Spain, and permit the former-Confederate states to depart the Union in peace, it has absolutely no business claiming any right or responsibility to “defend” one part of China from the rest of it.

There are No Good Guys

At least, they are nowhere to be found in Clown World or in the rebel faction that is Techno-Clown World 2.0.

One constant with multi-part structures or networks – like political systems – relates to trustworthiness. Any dishonesty – contradictions, logical impossibilities, hand-waving, misinformation, rhetorical answers for factual questions, etc. – indicates the whole formation isn’t what it presents itself as. Doesn’t indicate in what specific way it’s fake or to what extent, but that there is deception. And neither it nor its intentions should be trusted unless that is sufficiently addressed.

For example, disinterest in politics began with the childhood recognition that [the party process] and [the spirit of a representative constitutional republic] are incompatible. There’s nowhere to go in-system from that. If interested in power, learn how society works and chart course that way.

For those who like labels I describe this approach as reality-facing. FTS-1. Information processors and learners who have different beliefs and knowledge bases but don’t accept House of Lies screens as a priori truth. In a psychotic kaleidoscope of late Clown, this leads to what Vox Day calls omni-narrational skepticism. Where every one of the just-so narratives supporting the House of Lies on any level are suspect…

Big picture, the goal still looks like managing the Clown collapse with a mix of autarkic fortifying and leveraging what dwindling advantages remain. At least until AI managed control systems are in place.2

Readers know I 100% favor long-term reindustrialization and force-motivating non-producers off checks and into work. But the strategic & logistical level moves aren’t happening that would have had to if real industrial rebirth was on the table. Attempts to strongarm compliance with the dying dollar system also seem chimeric. Remember, they’re running the House of Lies now. What they say is emotionally resonant because it’s Scripted. The Show we were told to enjoy. Just be mindful that dialectically, the narrative isn’t aiming at a 20th-century America conclusion.

In fairness, they never promised to lift a finger about restoring America, only making it “great”, for whatever bizarre satanic inversion of the term that means. The domestic struggle is between those who want to drive off the cliff and those who want to hang a right to avoid driving off the cliff.

Iran and the 5D Chess

Larry Johnson contemplates Iran’s new stance on nuclear negotiations:

A senior Iranian political figure has told Iranian Press TV that Iran is rethinking its approach to nuclear negotiations and will not enter new talks using the same framework or agenda.

Referring to the U-S request to resume negotiations, the source emphasized that any talks must align with the real security dynamics of the region. He expressed skepticism about the US intentions for peace, stating that the goal of Washington is to disarm Iran to compensate for Israel’s weakness in the next potential war. The political figure added any new negotiations must include serious and practical guarantees including scrutiny of Israel’s nuclear and WMD programs, credible punishment of the regime (i.e., Israel) and compensation to Iran. He stressed in the absence of these conditions, negotiations will merely serve as a prelude to war. He added Tehran is willing to “offer another opportunity” but requires evidence that U.S. negotiator Witkoff is pursuing peace rather than escalation.

There you have it. Iran is willing to talk but only if the conditions outlined above are met by Washington. This means there will be no further negotiations and that Iran will busy itself preparing for the next US/Israeli attack. Iran’s requirement that Israel be subjected to the same type of scrutiny of its nuclear program as Iran is a new, but not surprising, demand. While Iran’s demands are reasonable, I cannot imagine any scenario where Trump would agree.

This is where the rubber meets the road. The Short Trump certainly appears to be in Netanyahu’s pocket. But if – and only if – the USA agrees to Iran’s conditions and forces Israel to be subject to the same inspections of its nuclear capabilities by neutral international parties for the first time, we have to at least be open to the possibility that there is some sort of more complicated scenario in play.

They Hate Their People

Between Angela Merkel blessing the third world invasion of her country and her current successor in the Chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, promising German-assisted long-range missile strikes on Russia, it’s eminently clear that the German politicians hate the German people.

If Germany provides weapons (Taurus) and material assistance to Ukraine to target inside Russia (The Kiev Dictatorship can’t operate these missiles without German direct input). There is a real possibility that Russia will strike weapons production and transit sites in Germany.

Fortunately, Vladimir Putin is a patient man and he is unlikely to target civilian centers in Germany. Unfortunately, he has shown real restraint in not taking out the enemy political elites that are so willing to sacrifice the masses.
