War with China in 15 years

That’s the prediction from a former Army general:

The former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe says it’s likely the United States will be at war with China in 15 years. Retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges said at a Warsaw security forum on Wednesday that European allies will have to do more to ensure their own defenses against Russia as Americans focus more on the Pacific.

Hodges said: “I think in 15 years — it’s not inevitable, but it is a very strong likelihood — that we will be at war with China. The United States does not have the capacity to do everything it has to do in Europe and in the Pacific to deal with the Chinese threat.”

I put no stock in this general’s grand strategic analysis, but the timeframe is interesting, as well as the tacit admission that the US is no longer the sole global superpower it once was, but is merely the foremost global power now. And the trends most certainly do not favor it retaining that status considering how it has not even been able to maintain the Monroe Doctrine or defend its own borders.

Furthermore, the US is not going to fight a war with China until China is completely ready for it, and when that moment arrives, the US will lose its influence over Asia in much the same way Russia has lost its influence over Eastern Europe whether the war is fought or not.

The fakest of fake news

Oh noes! Those hateful haters in the Republican party are MAILING PIPE BOMBS to places that are almost guaranteed not to harm anyone, least of all the Democratic politicians and media figures who are the putative targets!

Clearly this means we have no choice but to a) disarm all Americans and b) vote for Democrats. The logic is irrefutable.

Explosive devices addressed to Hillary Clinton’s home and the house of former President Barack Obama were intercepted, and the Time Warner Center that is home to CNN in New York City was evacuated after a suspicious package was sent there, officials said.

Investigators are working to determine whether the two devices addressed to Clinton and Obama are connected to a pipe bomb found earlier this week in the home mailbox of billionaire George Soros near where the Clintons live in Chappaqua, New York, multiple law enforcement officials told ABC News.

I haven’t seen anything this Fake News since a literal actor “attacked” Comet Pizza by firing a single gunshot at the floor when the owner was out. I mean, at least when the Nazis Fake-Newsed the Reichstag, they actually burned it down.

UPDATE: Okay, this is even more fake.

A suspicious package has been found at U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ office in Sunrise, police said. “Yes, I can confirm there’s a suspicious package and we’re handling it right now.” Broward Sheriff Scott Israel said.

Broward County Sheriff’s Office… now that does sound familiar, does it not?

UPDATE: Well, now we have a good idea who mailed them… to himself and others.

CNN on Wednesday reported that the suspicious package that forced an evacuation of its New York headquarters was addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, a frequent Trump critic and MSNBC contributor.

UPDATE: The Littlest Chickenhawk characteristically weighs in:

If your first reaction to some evil person sending bombs to a variety of politicians on one side of the aisle is “FALSE FLAG,” you are officially deranged.

Or, you know, capable of basic pattern recognition. I guess it takes more than a 115 IQ to figure that out.

The invasion grows

Ignoring the invasion isn’t making it go away. Quite the contrary, as it happens:

The Mexican El Universal news outlet is reporting that more than 14,000 Hondurans — not counting people from other countries who are marching toward the United States — are leaving that Central American nation to seek asylum here. The news outlet reported that “municipal authorities,” the Catholic Diocese in the Mexican city of Tapachula, and the Mexican National Migration Institute (INM) provided the 14,000 figure.

“The first group walked for 37 kilometers from Ciudad Hidalgo to Tapachula on Sunday afternoon and was comprised by 5,333 children, women and men,” El Universal reported. Later that afternoon 3,000 more men, women and children started “to walk under the rain.”

“Meanwhile, there are 3,000 children, women and men in the Ciudad Hidalgo International bridge, shared by Mexico and Guatemala, who are looking to enter Mexico with documents provided by the INM,” the news outlet reported.

The God-Emperor is going to have to ignore the bureaucrats, the negotiators, the moderates, the temporizers, and the fence-sitters on this one.

Mission successful

Excellent work, everyone. Seriously, excellent work by the ELoE. If you missed out, don’t worry, phase two is expected to launch in November and it’s going to be even better than those in the know presently believe. In the meantime, don’t talk about it.

The advance proceeds on all fronts.

85 percent certainty!

Nate Silver doubles down on Democrats taking the House.

6 in 7 Chance Democrats win control (85.2{6cb082148f66295d8bc7a216c205e5958effe7b4e5a4ecc88596c412762a8d3c})

1 in 7 Chance Republicans keep control (14.8{6cb082148f66295d8bc7a216c205e5958effe7b4e5a4ecc88596c412762a8d3c})

He’s on the verge of becoming a confirmed countersignal. The AP is already backing down on its predictions of a Blue Wave.

In the closing stretch of the 2018 campaign, the question is no longer the size of the Democratic wave. It’s whether there will be a wave at all.

Pro tip: there won’t be.

Darkstream: Use that word!

From the transcript of the Darkstream, in which you may notice we have finally upped our audio game.

If you look at other forms of fake nationalism, the worst one in the United States is civic nationalism. And what civic nationalism does is it turns the state into an ersatz nation. But it’s fake. You know, Americans like that idea, Americans romanticize that idea, but that idea is mostly imposed upon them… That was not an American concept. If you read the Declaration of Independence, what do they talk about? Who are they declaring independence from? They’re declaring independence from King George, who is the king of Great Britain, and it even discusses “our British brothers” in the Declaration of Independence. They knew that Americans were intrinsically British and that the American nation is not the same as the United States of America.

They’re two different things and so Jeremy puts it correctly: civic nationalism is to nationalism what social justice is to justice. The adjective modifies and transforms the noun, and turns it into something that it is not.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with having an emotional attachment to civic nationalism, you know, the whole USA, USA thing, the idea of unity, out of many, one, and so forth. It’s not the worst thing, but it is also not true nationalism, and that’s why it’s so much weaker. This is something that Americans are always going to struggle with, they’re always going to lack true national identity, and that’s why it’s so important, it’s more important in the United States that elsewhere, to build up a sense of nationalism, a sense of extended family, a sense of unified purpose.

Fourmilab review of SJWADD

It’s always interesting to know what John Walker’s take on a book is. I’m pleased to learn that he appears to have thought rather well of SJWs Always Double Down in his review of it.

The SJW convergence of the major technology and communication companies which increasingly dominate the flow of news and information and the public discourse: Google (and its YouTube), Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and the rest, previously covert, has now become explicit. They no longer feign neutrality to content, or position themselves as common carriers. Now, they overtly put their thumb on the scale of public discourse, pushing down conservative and nationalist voices in search rankings, de-monetising or banning videos that oppose the slaver agenda, “shadow banning” dissenting voices or terminating their accounts entirely. Payment platforms and crowd-funding sites enforce an ideological agenda and cut off access to those they consider insufficiently on board with the collectivist, globalist party line. The high tech industry, purporting to cherish “diversity”, has become openly hostile to anybody who dares dissent: firing them and blacklisting them from employment at other similarly converged firms.

It would seem a dark time for champions of liberty, believers in reward for individual merit rather than grievance group membership, and other forms of sanity which are now considered unthinkable among the unthinking. This book provides a breath of fresh air, a sense of hope, and practical information to navigate a landscape populated by all too many non-playable characters who imbibe, repeat, and enforce the Narrative without questioning or investigating how it is created, disseminated in a co-ordinated manner across all media, and adjusted (including Stalinist party-line overnight turns on a dime) to advance the slaver agenda.

Vox Day walks through the eight stages of SJW convergence of an organisation from infiltration through evading the blame for the inevitable failure of the organisation once fully converged, illustrating the process with real-world examples and quotes from SJWs and companies infested with them. But the progression of the disease is not irreversible, and even if it is not arrested, there is still hope for the industry and society as a whole (not to minimise the injury and suffering inflicted on innocent and productive individuals in the affected organisations).

Speaking of book reviews, Rorshach waxes extremely enthusiastic about Alt-Hero #2 and Arkhaven Comics in his somewhat belated video review of it.

How am I going to find any DC comic book that does anything near as interesting as what I’m seeing in this book, in this come book here? It’s not going to be possible…. The industry writers, they absolutely disgust me. They are cowardly, they’re far left extremists, they’re not going to tell you the truth about anything in the world today. They’re just going to continue to double down on the far left nonsense and that’s not what you get in the pages of Alt-Hero issue number two. This really is doing everything that I’ve wanted comic books do for a long, long time and this is going to be the future of comic books.

If he likes AH#2, he’s really going to like AH#4….

Jordan Peterson is sincerely anti-semitic

Those Ivy League admissions offices, including Harvard, are predominantly Jewish. Jordan Peterson wants them flattened. It appears the SJWs were right after all. Jordan Peterson is a Nazi. Do you know who else hated Jews and had a pro-Asian perspective?

That’s right. Hitler.

The A-10 answer

The lesson of history is simple and straightforward. Always sink the damn ships!

It’s perhaps informative to recall that the US Air Force created a Highway of Death in response to considerably less provocation from Iraqis back in 1991. And those Iraqis were not attempting to physically invade the USA.

If the US military will not defend the borders of the USA, it should be completely defunded and disbanded.

If the US military will not defend the borders of the USA, there is literally no point to its existence at all.

UPDATE: This is what happens when you don’t sink the first ship.

A second migrant caravan is heading for the American border having formed in the wake of an initial group, which has already crossed Guatemala and entered Mexico. The second caravan is made up of 1,000 people and crossed the border from Honduras into Guatemala on Sunday, before arriving in the town of Chiquimula on Monday night. They are following in the path of a much-larger group, believed to number around 7,000, which was sheltering in the town of Huixtla, in southern Mexcio, overnight on Monday.

Do it now!

If you received an email recently, this is the time to do it. There are no problems at all, the objective here is maximum impact and there is still a considerable quantity of ammo in reserve. So, don’t delay, take action now if you can.

And if you didn’t receive an email, sit tight. The call will come and it won’t be long. Days, not weeks.

UPDATE: BOOM! Objective achieved with 39 minutes to spare. Well done. I’ll announce what it was in a few days. In the meantime, please continue to pour it on.
