The effectiveness of rhetoric

One way to confirm that a rhetorical device is a killshot is when the phrase is literally banned by the media:

Australian Broadcaster ABC has announced that they will not allow the use of the word ‘apartheid’ in their coverage of Israel and Palestine in an effort to “be as objective as possible.” The network has also noted the term’s “specific meaning in South African history” as part of its reasoning for the move, according to an “internal advisory note” reported in the Australian. 
While some of the network’s coverage has managed to stay away from using the word, it has still made its way onto the airwaves, recently on ‘Q+A’ when Palestine advocate Randa Abdel-Fattah accused Israel of being based “on a racial apartheid system,” leading to a fiery debate during which the word was used multiple times. 

Now, the Australian organization is completely correct in the dialectical sense. The term “Apartheid” makes no literal sense outside of a historical South African context. Of course the same is true of commonly-used terms such as “Nazi” and “fascist”. And other highly-charged terms, like “racist” and “sexist” and “anti-semite” are far more often used as effective rhetorical weapons than in a literal dialectical sense.

So, this is little more than the usual “rhetoric for me, but not for thee” situation. And what it confirms is that “the apartheid State of Israel” is rhetorically effective in a way that “Zionazi” is not, because the best rhetoric always points toward the truth. 

The fact is that Israel is a segregated state, and if it survives over time, it will become even more of one. After all, it was not apartheid, but rather, the abandonment of apartheid that led to the transformation of South Africa from a quasi-First World state to one that is threatening to collapse into anarchy. But Israelis should not hesitate to prioritize the actual nation over the civic state, any more than the Americans, the British, or the Russians should. At least, not if they wish to survive as a nation-state.

And speaking of rhetoric, “highly complicated” is a media and academic euphemism for “yes, we know we’re being hypocritical.”

THE AWAKENER Episode 5: Kill ‘Em All (warning: R rating)
And don’t miss the weekly Arktoons update at Bounding Into Comics, which discusses the latest developments in Midnight’s War, Gun Ghoul, and Chicago Typewriter.
Urban fantasy is frequently thought of as a relatively new genre. That it only started gaining ground in the late eighties and early nineties with the works of Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and Terri Windling.
Urban Fantasy certainly made its presence felt in the Vertigo titles of the 1990s. But at the time it was viewed as having limited market appeal.  Just something for the Goths, Sand-heads, and emo-kids in black trench coats.  
Perhaps it was a bit more niche in those days, but those days came crashing to an end with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The Potterverse took urban fantasy mainstream in such a big way that it’s as universal to Millennials and Zoomers as the Lord of the Rings is to previous generations.

One clarification: Arkhaven comics will continue to be free access at Arktoons, supported by subscriptions and crowdfunding. However, we will permit independent creators to paywall their comics if they wish to do so. We’re not interested in telling other people how they can, or cannot, support their comics on the platform.


That does add up

Last year, I was wondering how on Earth it would be theoretically possible for the US population to drop to under 100 million in the next four years when other countries like China and Russia were predicted to remain essentially flat. In addition to the USA, a number of west European countries were also predicted to experience significant population declines by 2025 by Deagle, a Janes-style outfit that sells intelligence and military analysis. Col. Deagle, an unusually well-connected man who had been active in the international foundation scene, died in February 2021.

What was especially strange about the prediction was that the analysts made it clear that this negative population growth was not expected to result from nuclear war or a pandemic, but rather from “the Great Reset”. But what could that mean and how could it reduce populations on such a scale? Unfortunately, after seeing this chart below, there is a logical explanation for the prediction.

The lesson, as always, is this: don’t get the vaxx under any circumstances.


China chooses life

In case it isn’t entirely clear that China has rejected the Prometheans and their path to national suicide through empire, China skeptics can’t even point to the now-outdated One-Child Policy anymore:

China is making a major change in how its citizens can form a family. Monday, the Chinese Communist Party said it would allow married couples to have as many as three children to combat the country’s aging population.

Got that? Couples in China are now allowed to have a third child.

The change comes five years after Beijing ended its infamous “one-child policy” to allow couples to keep a second child.

State-run, Xi Jinping-approved Xinhua News Agency says the new policy will “improve the country’s population structure, actively implement the national strategy to respond to the aging population, and maintain the country’s demographic advantage.”

And if the mere permission doesn’t work, who here doesn’t believe that China won’t be ruthless enough to offer serious financial incentives to married couples? Especially when Hungary is already providing lifetime waivers on personal income tax for women raising at least four children and large vehicle subsidies for large families.

Meanwhile, in the rapidly declining imperial USA, parents are being socially incentivized to put their little boys in dresses and sterilize their little girls with hormone blockers and surgery. 

This is why it is silly to pronounce any nation dead due to sub-replacement birth rates. In less than one generation, a single determined nationalist at the helm can turn it around. On the plus side, WWIII looks increasingly unlikely, by virtue of being unnecessary.



The poisonous spike protein

 As uninterested scientists take a closer look at the not-vaccines, the news keeps getting worse.

We now know the spike protein gets into circulation. We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew it was a toxin. So by vaccinating people we are inadvertently inoculating them with a toxin.

– Dr. Byram Bridle, University of Guelph

I think that “inadvertently” is probably a little too generous. You know the viral immunologist is a concern to Big Pharma, as someone has already set up a false flag website using his name as the URL for the purpose of deboonking his statements.

Meanwhile, an Oracle VP learns the hard way that the Devil mocks his servants.

  • I got my first vaccination today. I am incredibly proud of @Oracle and the team that worked tirelessly to create and run v-safe for the USA.
    • Joel R. Kallman@joelkallman, Mar 26
  • We’re heartbroken to share that Joel Kallman has passed away from Covid-19 on May 25th. He was 54. Joel’s warmth and enthusiasm touched countless across the globe. We miss him dearly.
    • Oracle APEX@OracleAPEX, May 27
Karl Denninger’s conclusion:

It is, on the weight of the scientific evidence at this time, profoundly unsafe to produce, distribute or administer any vaccine that causes production of the spike protein in the human body where it can and does enter the circulation, whether directly or indirectly, because the protein itself and its S1 sub-unit are believed pathogenic standing alone.  This has now been known for months, indeed the first papers demonstrating this were out before any material number of jabs went into arms and have been deliberately ignored.

GUN GHOUL Episode 5: This Ends Now

BIG BEAR’S BIG COMIC Episode 5: Sevonye
UPDATE: Apparently Webtoons misses us. They probably wouldn’t believe the reason we’re not publishing there anymore. Although perhaps putting up a few teasers there wouldn’t be a bad idea….
It’s been a while since you last published on CANVAS, and we’re missing you. Why not update your series with a new episode? If you’re currently taking a break or on hiatus, let your readers know by publishing an update!

Memorializing a massive mistake

Already, nearly one-third of Americans either aren’t sure or believe that US involvement in WWII was a mistake. They’re absolutely right to doubt the wisdom or the justice of US military involvement, particularly on Memorial Day. WWII was a massive mistake for Americans, a far more catastrophic and costly mistake than Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan combined, with serious consequences that led directly to the decline of the American nation and the expected collapse of the USA as a political entity. 

I can assure you that if every U.S. citizen were to read Stalin’s War, which is an excellent and well-sourced revisionist history by Sean McMeekin that relies heavily upon Soviet records that were not available before 1989, that 32 percent figure would rise to at least 98 percent.

More than 75 years after the conclusion of World War Two, one third of Americans are questioning the country’s decision to send troops into battle. A new Economist/YouGov poll suggests that doubters believe it to be a mistake or are unsure if it was the right decision. 

The poll, which was timed to coincide with Memorial Day, asked people for their opinions were on the decision to send American troops to fight in particular wars.

The question was asked: ‘Do you think the United States made a mistake sending troops to fight in the following wars?’ 

The poll considered conflicts spread over more than 100 years including both World Wars, the Vietnam War and the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Some 14 percent of Americans said they believed sending troops to fight the Nazi-led Axis powers during World War II was a mistake and an additional 18 percent weren’t sure, although the support for the decision to send troops to fight the Nazis received more support than any other war at 68 percent.

However, one third of Americans were still unsure if President Roosevelt made the right decision.

President Roosevelt didn’t make the right decision. In fact, it is now obvious and well-documented that both President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were very clearly taking orders from someone, presumably someone connected to the small group of Jews who declared war on Germany in 1933, and that both elected leaders were instructed to back Stalin without question, even to the direct and material detriment of their own soldiers, countries, and national interests. The treasonous subservience of Roosevelt, in particular, eventually resulted in the attempted mass murder of 28 million Germans by US Secretary of State Henry Morgenthau, and also created the industrial Soviet Union by propping up the Soviet economy for 40 years despite the intrinsic economic dysfunctionality of communism.

  • Stalin’s looting battalions were able to cart off from Germany alone, by the end of 1946, 4.15 million tons of industrial, commercial, artistic, and intellectual property in 519,000 railway wagons-an operation that would ultimately net Stalin 9.991 million tons of industrial goods.
  • If we include non-German countries, the Soviet intake of war booty totaled, by the end of 1947, the equipment, inventory, intellectual property, and records of 1.2 million separate factories or enterprises, including Siemens, BMW, and Allianz Insurance.
  • So voluminous were American lend-lease shipments across the Pacific to the Far East in this period-during the climactic phase of the war against Japan-that they equaled the volume shipped across the North Atlantic during the entire war to support the Red Army against the Wehrmacht, rounding out a total shipped across the Pacific of 8.244 million tons, which did not even include the warplanes flown into Siberia via ASLIB along with the sensitive and often strategic cargo they contained.

The mass pillaging of Germany, Romany, Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia actually cost the Soviets more than the so-called “Lend-Lease” material did, because the Soviets didn’t get free shipping for their war booty. The Roosevelt administration not only gave the Soviet Union an unthinkable amount of industrial material, food, factories, and military supplies, it didn’t even charge the Soviets anything for the costs of transporting everything from Iowa and Ohio to Vladivostok.

However, Stalin not only double-crossed Roosevelt and Churchill, he also eventually betrayed their masters, which is one reason today’s neoclowns now reside in the United States and are still banging the drum for a revenge war with Russia as they try to redefine the concept of “the West” in the same self-serving way they redefined “America” as an idea instead of an actual people.

And, just to make matters worse, Roosevelt summarily rejected Germany’s attempt to surrender to the Western Allies in April 1943, despite the fact that Stalin was not only willing to accept an end to the war, but offered Germany a separate peace in two rounds of negotiations held in Stockholm through the spring of 1943 if Hitler would agree to the 1939 frontiers that had been originally agreed in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Of course Hitler, being an idiot, didn’t accept the Soviet offer.

The undeniable historical fact is that D-Day was totally unnecessary, as Germany attempted to surrender more than TWO YEARS before its surrender was finally accepted in May 1945. In other words, every single American life lost in the campaign on the Western Front was a needless sacrifice and a tragic waste.

Happy Memorial Day.


The mark of the sports beast

And the Knickerbockers of New Amsterdam caused all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the season ticket holder and the out-of-town tourist whose team is in town, to be given a mark on their right arm, and they provided that no man would be able to attend or to spectate, except the one who has the mark.

Just when we thought OutKick couldn’t be more on the money: vaccinations are now required to purchase second round Knicks tickets. The team just announced that tickets will be sold exclusively to vaccinated fans rather than sold to anyone who wants them. Ya know, how it’s been done for decades.

I here I always thought the rule was first tragedy, then farce. 

They must be pretty desperate if they think not permitting attendance by people who have already turned their backs on the NBA, and turned off their televisions as well, is going to make any difference to anyone at all.


The evils of anti-racism

And isn’t it remarkable how the mass graves of children just happen to keep popping up everywhere from Ireland to Canada:

A mass grave containing the remains of 215 children has been found in Canada at a former residential school set up to assimilate indigenous people.

The children were students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978.

The discovery was announced on Thursday by the chief of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation. The First Nation is working with museum specialists and the coroner’s office to establish the causes and timings of the deaths, which are not currently known.

Rosanne Casimir, the chief of the community in British Columbia’s city of Kamloops, said the preliminary finding represented an unthinkable loss that was never documented by the school’s administrators.

Canada’s residential schools were compulsory boarding schools run by the government and religious authorities during the 19th and 20th Centuries with the aim of forcibly assimilating indigenous youth.

And to think the media is puzzled that so many Americans believe the international governing elite is little more than a collection of murderous satanic pedophiles.
