So speciest

Paul Joseph Watson should be deplatformed and techno-shunned for his shameless speciesm on the subject of the next James Bond:

The fact that Bond is not disabled is also ableist. We need a disabled Bond who spends the entire movie not chasing bad guys, but being slowly pushed towards them in a wheelchair. Only then will we have achieved true equality. 

Equality? He calls that equality? It’s nearly 2019! The next Bond should be a wombat! Or, at the very least, a cat.

Speaking of SJW lunacy, The Promethean is now available in audiobook.

Merry Christmas

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
– John 1: 9-14

Social Justice meritocracy

Gun control gadfly David Hogg was accepted by Harvard University’s admissions department despite possessing one of the lowest SAT scores in its 2018 freshman class:

Just when you thought (or, more likely, hoped) that David Hogg was a permanent page in the Where-Are-They-Now file, he pops up again. Now we learn that come fall, 2018, Hogg goes to Harvard.

Hold on — didn’t we recently hear how poor David got rejected from not one, not two, but four California schools? Even though his GPA of 4.2 and SAT scores of 1270 were pretty much in the ballpark of these schools, they still rejected him.

The average SAT score composite at Harvard is 1520. This is explicit evidence of the exclusion of the cognitive elite at even the most prestigious universities. It’s also an indication of the continuing intellectual decline of the US ruling class, as we’re rapidly approaching the point where the dissidents are not one, but two standard deviations more intelligent than their societal superiors.

This is not a sustainable situation. Only time will tell if the eventual outcome is revolution or a Khmer Rouge-style campaign against everyone who owns more than this many (holds up two hands) books.

Bleeding Cool’s Top 100

Apparently Bleeding Cool releases its Top 100 Power List for the comics industry every year. While I tend to doubt they would dare to put me on it even if I bought Marvel Comics from Disney and personally authored the top-selling comic of the year, at least we have been provided an objective measure of just how big 2VS is in the comics industry.

Although you’d think I’d get at least a modicum of credit for getting their Editor-in-Chief fired for the mere crime of daring to speak with me.

97. Mark Waid
A major comic book writer, editor and publisher, he is currently the ongoing writer on Doctor Strange. Being sued by Richard Meyer over his involvement, or not, in the decision of Antarctic Press to cancel the Jawbreakers graphic novella, whatever the merits of that suit, demonstrates that some, certainly, see his actions as impactful. Reducing his social media interactions, no longer co-owing a comic store and the mothballing of his Thrillbent digital publisher has seen his listing number drop, but he was able to wrangle a significant portion of the comics industry to back his legal defence.

74. Ethan Van Sciver
Leaving DC Comics after prominent creators refused to work with him anymore, he used the usual mixture of Comicsgate virtue signalling, identity politics and mocking hater videos to raise over half a million dollars on Indiegogo, for his still-upcoming Cyberfrog comic revival. The highest amount raised on crowdfunding by any comic creator in the year, it helps that he can actually draw. This helped him take the position as leading Comicsgate figure as Richard Meyer stepped back, due to his legal case with Mark Waid, and not wanting to give the defence further ammunition.

(whistles innocently)

I would like to assure everyone that these recent developments have absolutely nothing to do with a certain gathering that is known to have taken place in Spain.

Spain’s socialist government could be in trouble as a populist party is storming the polls in the country. The right-wing VOX party in Spain has been gaining strength and every poll they seem to rank higher. Yesterday it was revealed that VOX have reached an all-time record high in Metroscopia’s poll.

They are now at 11.5 per cent which would mean they could form a government if there was a vote today. The last election, they garnered 0.2 per cent.

That being said, the Nationalist Right is inevitable all across the West. That’s not rhetoric, although it would serve as effective rhetoric. It is, rather, a pure dialectical analysis. The nationalist trend that began in 2015 is the inevitable reaction to the 80-year trend towards globalism. At a bare minimum, the counterreaction will last until at least 2040, but it could continue until 2145 if, as I suspect, the trend has permanently reversed.

Mailvox: deceptions and delusions

AP wonders if transtemporal quantum editing could be considered one of the great wonders anticipated by the Bible:

Just came home from work to catch the Darkstream and your references to possible trans-temporal manipulation. Never thought about it before, but it’s a hella scary idea. Puts me in mind of an incredibly powerful lie scripture predicts:

“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”

The real elect know our stuff, historically and currently. Not bragging, but just recognizing the Spirit was given to guide us into all truth. And he does his job. But with all the time I’ve spent reading the word of God, if something could make me question almost anything, it would be a completely unexpected, entirely unprecedented new level of manipulation; the sort of magic trick that makes the serious, committed believer in Jesus Christ actually wonder if he is losing his own mind. His memories are suspect. His intellect is breached. His spirit is … well, who knows?

When you find yourself questioning not just the validity of the input but the very operation of the machine God himself built, you’re really in trouble.

Which makes me think what you’re suggesting is not out of the question. The really bad stuff the apostle John predicted is absolutely coming, and maybe some of it’s already here. I appreciate being pushed to consider such things, because we need to guard against attacks from every conceivable—and inconceivable—direction.

I don’t find the idea to be scary, but rather, yet another reassuring confirmation that the divine victory has already been won, the very victory whose initial offensive we celebrate tomorrow. Christians have been prepared for over a century for a battle between what our eyes see and what our hearts know. That is why the Christian must be dedicated to the truth, seek knowledge, and pray for discernment.

I always found it intriguing that one of the strongest scriptural condemnations was targeted for those who modify the words of the Bible. Perhaps that was a warning for the very modifications that are being observed and reported now.

I don’t pretend to be a theologian or to have memorized verses from the King James Version. But do you really believe my knowledge of the latter is so poor that I would score a pathetic 1 out of 20 on a fill-in-the-blank Bible quiz?

Darkstream: Seeing through the spells

Owen seriously went OFF this morning with a massive three-hour stream that featured a lot of intriguing ideas about those he calls the “wizards” of persuasion. I thought his rhetoric was remarkably effective in that regard, and shared a few of my thoughts on how one might go about seeing through the wizard spells, because once one begins to comprehend how the tricks are performed, once one begins to see how the spells are cast, one becomes at least somewhat immune to the ensorcellment.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
– Philippians 1:9-11

MOTH & COBWEB now at Arkhaven

As part of our ongoing move to better serve the readers of Castalia House’s books, we are in the process of making our entire ebook catalog available from the Arkhaven store in both EPUB and Kindle formats. While it will take until the end of February to remove all of our books from Kindle Select, all six books in the excellent MOTH & COBWEB series by John C. Wright are now available in both digital formats.

If you prefer print, the two hardcover trilogies that contain all six books in the series, The Green Knight’s Squire and The Dark Avenger’s Sidekick, are also available now.

It is not yet possible to order print editions from the Arkhaven store, but we are working with Ingram to see if there is a way to eventually do so. In the meantime, we will continue adding ebooks and audiobooks to the Arkhaven store, so check in on it from time to time, as not all new additions will be announced here.

John C. Wright fans may wish to note that the epic Awake in the Night Land and the excellent City Beyond Time are also available in digital editions at Arkhaven.

And speaking of Arkhaven, Rorshach of Swindon has reviewed two more Quantum Mortis comics and his verdicts might surprise you. Quantum Mortis #2 and Quantum Mortis #3. A commenter there makes an observation: Vox Day has produced comics more than any CGer so far and with sentiments you and I like…we have to give him credit.

The sentiment is nice, but it doesn’t really matter whether anyone does or not. The important thing is that we are continuing to take back ground in the ongoing cultural war against the West.

UPDATE: The first five ALT★HERO comics are all now available in CBZ/Kindle format and all three novels from The Thousand Worlds series by Rod Walker are now available in EPUB/Kindle at Arkhaven.

JORDANETICS: a review

Luke Dromgoole reviews Jordanetics for The Burkean:

“Falsehoods have consequences, that’s what makes them false” – Jordan Peterson

Jordanetics is not the book I expected it to be. I expected a political criticism of Jordan B. Peterson’s politics, a takedown of atomised individualism, and a nationalist defence of group identity.

Much of this was present. However, Vox Day’s Jordanetics: A Journey into the Mind of Humanity’s Greatest Thinker is a far more interesting book because it explains what motivates Peterson while giving us the true meaning of his philosophy, something much more sinister than I had ever anticipated….

Vox Day has clearly been inspired by Thomas Aquinas’ style of argumentation. Early in the book, he lines up potential objections to his critique of Jordan Peterson, then one by one refutes each objection.  His methodical style of writing can be contrasted with a continued theme throughout the book; Jordan Peterson’s total lack of coherent meaning when he speaks or writes.

Read the whole thing there.
