Why They’re Upset

You can’t really blame the anti-Trump people for being shocked and dismayed about the election results. Everyone was comprehensively gaslighted in the lead-up to it.

What will be Wednesday’s Headline? (Percentage of 74,591 votes)

38.56% – Harris Wins Decisively

33.33% – Race Too Close To Call

19.02% – Harris Ekes Out Victory

5.71% – Trump Wins Decisively

3.38% – Trump Ekes Out Victory

Barely more than 10 percent of TRUMP voters expected what actually happened. Which is yet another reminder of why paying attention to the mainstream media only ensures that one will be misinformed. Keep this in mind the next time you find yourself reacting emotionally in some way to a mainstream report and remind yourself that it is at least partially false, and most likely, is substantially false.

Case in point. Consider these two reports about the war in Ukraine, both taken from recent mainstream media sources.

  • Russia lost more than 710,000 troops since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion almost three years ago, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said this week. Despite the heavy losses, Moscow is pushing forward with its ‘meat assaults’ and continues to advance at its fastest rate since 2022, with Ukraine’s armed forces chief admitting this month that it is currently facing ‘one of the most powerful’ Russian offensives since the war broke out.
  • A new estimate by a U.S. official in October 2024, put the number of Ukrainian casualties at more than 57,500 killed.

Think about how misinformed you have to be to believe that Russia has suffered 12x Ukraine’s KIAs while simultaneously putting the Kiev regime on the brink of surrender?

Hispanics Already Self-Deporting

The election of Donald Trump is already beginning to solve the foreign invasion:

Eva Longoria fled ‘dystopian’ America and is ‘privileged’ to now be living in Mexico and Spain with her family. The Texas born actress, who has spent her ‘whole adult life’ in California, says she feels the American ‘chapter in my life is done now’ and no longer wants to live in Los Angeles, alleging the city has been ‘changing’. The Desperate Housewives actress, who campaigned hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidential election, fears that if Donald Trump ‘keeps his promises’ the US will be a ‘scary place’.

Further evidence that it takes more than geographic location to make a nation. A piece of paper does not make a national; citizenship is not nationality.

And as those who have been following along with our excerpts from the Cambridge Medieval History know, the fact that a foreign invasion is initially peaceful, even for a generation or two, does not mean that it will not turn into the violent ethnic cleansing of the original inhabitants over time.

With these disturbances in Spain is generally connected a great rising of the Celts in Britain and Gaul, which was directed against the advancing Teutonic tribes as well as against the Roman rule, and in which the Gaulish district of Annorica was specially concerned. Thus as prepared in these provinces the separation from the Roman government which had lasted for centuries, and at the same time Teutonic rule superseded that of the Romans in Spain.

Zelensky on the Way Out

Simplicius notes that the mainstream Narrative is now preparing the ground for the removal of Zelensky as the puppet-in-chief of the Kiev regime.

Just a day after we wrote about the ‘rumored’ new plan for the US to hold Ukrainian elections next year to give intransigent Zelensky the boot, The Economist made it semi-official by acknowledging that, ‘suddenly’, Zelensky is facing a ‘power struggle’ at home. It’s in line with how Biden’s advanced dementia was just “abruptly” discovered by figures and organs of the establishment, only after becoming convenient and politically expedient enough for them to make it public. Similarly here, as soon as the memo-from-above’s arrival, The Economist sprang into pre-conditioning the ground to sell the narrative that Zelensky’s regime is now on uncertain footing; they would have never been allowed to even suggest that Zelensky faced danger at home until it became necessary to do so…

A ‘dignified bow out’ just like the same establishment forces asked of Zelensky’s fateful partner-in-crime Joe Biden. Remember, it’s either the “easy way” or the “hard way”, as Pelosi said; the same stands for Zelensky. Take your free trip to Tel Aviv or we can begin raising the level of ‘encouragement’. After all, recall Zaluzhny was directed to step down from his role as general for a long time, and it was only after his direct subordinates began to be assassinated did he heed the warning and do as he was told.

Sooner or later, every ticket-taker ceases to be useful and is thrown from the high horse.

One of the best reasons to follow the alternative media, in either blog or video form, is that you will reliably have some idea what is going on long before the mainstream media is allowed to cover it. Biden’s dementia was recognized and discussed in the alternative media long before the mainstream journalists dared to observe the obvious, and in like manner, the inevitable outcome of the war in Ukraine was pointed out more than two years before the media stopped blathering about Russia running out of men and ammunition in two weeks, or a popular groundswell driving President Putin from power.

Isn’t it informative how a single defeat or embarrassment is supposedly sufficient to force someone the media hates out of office, but 32 straight months of one defeat after another have proved insufficient to destabilize media favorite Zelensky’s position despite his cancellation of elections and present illegitimate status?

Anyhow, now that Clown World’s favor has officially been withdrawn from their puppet in Kiev, it’s only a matter of time before he is removed from the scene one way or another. This will be the sign that negotiations with Russia to end the special military operation are being pursued; whether Russia is feeling magnanimous in victory or not is another matter entirely.

And it’s no wonder that the Europeans are all panicking about Trump’s election. Russia is making it clear that its demands will include the withdrawal of NATO to the German border, and Trump will know that’s a good deal that’s worth taking.

The Kremlin is again saying that Russia is only interested in those negotiations that will ensure the fulfillment of all tasks in the context of Ukraine and Ryabkov’s 2021 ultimatum about NATO’s withdrawal to the border of Germany. Everything else is of no concern, as is the change of faces in the White House. There will be no deal.

The Turks Cut Ties

The Turkish government has given up on diplomacy:

Turkey has severed all ties with Israel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Wednesday. Erdogan made the comments to journalists aboard his plane following visits to Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.

“The government of the Republic of Turkey, under the leadership of Tayyip Erdogan, will not continue or develop relations with Israel,” Erdogan said. “[Our ruling coalition] is resolute in its decision to cut ties with Israel, and we will maintain this stance in the future as well. We, as the Republic of Turkey and its government, have currently severed all relations with Israel.”

The Gazacaust was clearly a step too far for many nations around the world to accept. While there are still a fair number of Boomers in the USA who cling to the “plucky little Israel” rhetoric, the rest of the world has been aghast by the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. Fair or not, in the binary thinking of world opinion, they are the bad guys now. Because there are acts that no provocation, rationalization, or justification will suffice to explain away.

The New SecDef

The good news is that Pete Hegseth, the incoming Secretary of Defense is an “extremist” with a Deus Vult tattoo whom the Pentagon hates. He knows the US military, its capabilities, and its limitations. The bad news is that he neither knows nor understands the Middle Kingdom, and would appear to buy into the retarded neocon myth that China seeks “global domination”.

The Pentagon, the past X number of years, 10, 12, 15, the Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its wargames against China. We lose every time inside the Pentagon wargames. We know what our real capabilities are. We didn’t even get into this part of The War on Warriors. The way we train for conflicts, the way we procure weapons systems, the way our system works, the way our bureaucratic system works, the way the speed of weapons procurement works, we’re always a decade behind and fighting the last war.

Whereas China – what did Rumsfeld say, you go to war with the army you have – China is building an army specifically dedicated to defeating the United States of America. That is their strategic outset. Take hypersonic missiles. Our whole power-projection plaform is our aircraft carriers and our ability to project power that way, strategically around the globe. And yeah, we have a nuclear triad and all that, but that’s a big part of it.

And if 15 hypersonic missiles can take out our ten aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict, what does that look like? If they’ve already got us by the balls economically, which you pointed out very well, with our grid. Culturally, there’s plenty of elite capture going on around the globe. Microchips and everything, why do they want Taiwan? They want to corner the market completely on the technological future. We can’t even drive our cars without the stuff we need out of China these days. They have a full-spectrum, long-term view of not just regional, but global domination.

And we have our heads up our asses.

I’m not going to lie. I like this man. He has clearly read Turchin, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, as well as a number of relevant sources that provide him with a far more realistic perspective on global military realities than the warmongering diasporans who just want to sow bloodshed and chaos everywhere around the world as long as they can use the US military to do so. And I suspect, unlike the neocons and their servants, that Hegseth is capable of learning from people who actually know China, and understand that all of China’s efforts are not focused on global imperialism, but rather, conclusively putting an end to their “century of humiliation” and making sure that no power on Earth is capable of subjecting the Chinese people ever again.

As Jeffrey Sachs pointed out, in more than 2,500 years of history, China has engaged in all of two foreign military actions, and both times were in response to Vietnamese aggression in the region. It is the Vietnamese, and not the Chinese, who were, and are still, feared throughout the region. Whereas the USA has been the second-most aggressive military power the world has ever seen; neither the Roman Empire nor the Ummayad Caliphate engaged in foreign military actions as often as the USA has. Only the Mongol empire was more aggressive as a percentage of their extant years.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
– Sun Tzu

But one can only regards the dismay of the Deep State as a good sign.

“There is reason for concern that this is not a person who is a serious enough policymaker, serious enough policy implementer, to do a successful job,” said Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee.

If he’s not what Washington considers “serious” then he’s not a ticket-taker. So Pete Hegseth appears to be an excellent appointment of the sort that Donald Trump completely failed to make the previous time around. We can still remain optimistic, that as the song says, this time he’ll do it right and appoint Ron Paul to be Secretary of the Treasury. I’ll definitely have to read his book. In the meantime, enjoy the Lightning Rave mix introduced on the Darkstream last night.

UPDATE: While Hedgseth is clearly a Zionist, he doesn’t appear to support the neocons’ plans for war with Iran. In his role, his personal ideological preferences are far less important than his grasp of what the US military can and cannot do.

Unimpressed

Andrei Martyanov is not at all impressed by the credentials of the incoming National Security Advisor:

“Mike is the first Green Beret to have been elected to Congress, and previously served in the White House and Pentagon,” Trump said in a statement announcing his latest cabinet pick. “Mike served in the Army Special Forces for 27 years where he was deployed multiple times in combat for which he was awarded four Bronze Stars, including two with Valor.” “Mike retired as a Colonel, and is a nationally recognized leader in National Security, a bestselling author, and an expert on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism,” the statement added. “He serves as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Mike is a distinguished graduate with honors of the Virginia Military Institute. Mike has been a strong champion of my America First Foreign Policy agenda, and will be a tremendous champion of our pursuit of Peace through Strength!”

Is not an expert “on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran and global terrorism” and especially on Russia, because there are about zero people for the least 20+ years in both House Armed Services and House Foreign Affairs Committees who have any clue about the world outside and the modern warfare. He cannot be an expert, considering his alleged support for a delusional and utterly obsolete concept of “Peace Through Strength” for the United States. Waltz worked for Donald Rumsfeld–the guy who failed miserably in his understanding of the warfare and applied geopolitics. TOE of the US Armed Forces is a testament to the views of these people, not that anyone else would have fared better by screwing US doctrinal development so profoundly. Somebody has to tell the guy that “Strength” based on TOE from 1990s is not strength.

I had a very tenuous hope for Trump calling on Colonel Douglas Macgregor for the position of National Security Adviser, well … we all knew what was coming, didn’t we. Waltz is a “specialist” in high intensity police operations in Afghanistan, wow … Degree in “International Relations” from VMI kinda gets you some ideas. So, the “special forces” guy with zero understanding of technological and economic drivers of the modern war will be a classic US gung ho “advising” Trump. Well, looks like we exchanged one set of neocons for another.

I’m not impressed either, but then, I didn’t expect to be. There is absolutely no one in the US military establishment who is genuinely qualified to prepare for either the industrial element of a hypothetical air-sea war with China or the scale of the air-land war with Russia. Even the concept of an air-sea-land war with Iran in the Middle East might or might not be within the limits of the US military’s strategic capabilities.

Technology, demographics, industrial capabilities, and international economics have all changed dramatically since 1990 and that is not a coincidence. But as with the aphoristic generals always fighting the last war, US strategists have not even begun to correctly understand, much less anticipate, the current challenges; we know they have not because they would not be assuming that “strength” is their advantage anymore. Just as the British military still vastly overrates its own significance and abilities, the US military is not cognizant that it is now a regional power, not a global superpower.

And no one who has served in the military can claim to know anything useful about “national security”, not in a nation that has been invaded by tens of millions of foreigners without the military or the so-called security establishment doing anything about it.

This announcement is a bit more promising, although the two appointees are both clowns, they are from the sober faction that is trying to preserve the current system rather than destroy the world.

President-elect Donald Trump has officially named Elon Musk to head the newly created ‘Department of Government Efficiency.’

The Charade of Canterbury

No one ever believed Justin Welby was infallible. But the extent to which he was fallible, and an abject failure as a supposedly “Christian” leader, was astonishing even by historical standards, as one of the worst bishops in the history of the Anglican Church resigns as Archbishop of Canterbury:

The Archbishop of Canterbury resigned today after Sir Keir Starmer said the victims of the Church’s most prolific child abuser were let down ‘very, very badly’.

Justin Welby said he was standing down after a damning report found his failure to act meant that ‘abhorrent’ serial abuser John Smyth was never brought to justice.

In a statement, Dr Welby said: “Having sought the gracious permission of His Majesty The King, I have decided to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury. The Makin Review has exposed the long-maintained conspiracy of silence about the heinous abuses of John Smyth. When I was informed in 2013 and told that police had been notified, I believed wrongly that an appropriate resolution would follow. It is very clear that I must take personal and institutional responsibility for the long and retraumatising period between 2013 and 2024.”

Allowing women to become bishops and openly supporting their ordination was just the most obvious of his many errors of leadership. And the idea that, as the head of the organization, he could simply leave Church discipline to the state police was not only downright risible but caused every clerical grave in England to begin rotating rapidly. It’s not an accident that the same sort of Churchian leaders who support female leaderships are so reliably tied to a) supporting aberrant sexuality, b) endorsing unrepentant sin, c) refusing to hold the guilty accountable for their crimes, and d) sex crimes.

Whatever creatures like this Welby truly worship, it is observably not Jesus Christ.
