Natives and Americans

A fellow American Indian points out that regardless of what the historical grudges exist – and the American track record is a lot worse than the Manifest Destiny apologists taught back in the day – the Clown World program is not and has never been in our interest.

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won’t be some great development for us.

It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it’s behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.

The newcomers don’t give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that’s it.

If we don’t stand with the whites, we will fall together. It’s that simple.

I don’t know that I would go so far as “helped us enormously” but reservations and casinos is a much better deal than many conquered peoples ended up with, although I do think that any state or federal agency who tries to play eminent domain games with Indian land should be treated in exactly the same way a soldier who independently wages war on a foreign power is.

But the point stands. And it really would behoove Americans to be honest about what was done to the American Indian, in order to learn from it and avoid meeting a similar fate. Because it’s all in the legalisms…

A Visit to Wyrmwick College

This is the result of an experiment that got very badly out of hand. After finishing The Refutation of Kant, I definitely had the sense that my analytical engine could use a break and decided to let my mind coast a while. No more amphibolies, contemplations of the true nature of reality or das Ding an sich, no more irrational numbers, imaginary numbers, or infinite sets, no more deconstructing the construction account, and no attempting to decide which aspect of the Veriphysical philosophy to develop next. So the day after Team Castalia finished deciding what was to go into the combined print edition that resulted in The Return of the Real, I found myself dwelling upon all the various nonsensicalities of the Wizarding World concoted by Ms JK Rowling.

I believe that many years ago, I was among the first to point out the absolute absurdities of the Quidditch rules, though I was far from the only one. But there were so many more things that made no sense, such as the pointless points system, the insane dual economies, the bizarre competitions, and the upside-down nature of a craven, spoiled elite that left one wondering how it had gotten there in the first place. Which, in light of recent revelations, actually tends to reconstruct the Wizarding World as a much darker fictional universe than anyone had ever imagined, one in which Tom Riddle is actually the hero seeking vengeance for his childhood abuse at the hands of a schoolmaster with a very dark and nasty secret.

But that’s neither here nor there. My main thought was this: what if the protagonist of an academy novel was not despised, but loved? What if he wasn’t a passive lens for the reader to pass through the world, but a character with strength, independence, and a will of his own? What if there were consequences to historical actions, and if the present was the result of past decisions? And what if the Silent Academy wasn’t the only school to which the Inghitaran elite sent their children? One question led to another, and another, and the sum total of the answers is now available for your exploration if you happen to be so inclined.

While the core concept is obviously derived from the British magical school tradition, the end result reads more as if Susan Cooper was the primary literary influence, with perhaps a dash of Lloyd Alexander, as the various Red Team reviews have noticed.

  • This is one of the strongest Harry Potter-inspired school fantasies I’ve read. It borrows a great deal from Rowling’s structure, but it has sufficiently strong prose, characterization, and worldbuilding that it gradually stops feeling like imitation and starts feeling like a genuine series in its own right.
  • The novel clearly draws from the greats of classic children’s fantasy while forging its own path. The most obvious surface parallel is the magical boarding school with house sorting, rivalries, feasts in a great hall, and a boy discovering his powers and place in a hidden world. Wyrmwick echoes Hogwarts in structure, but the execution diverges sharply. It captures the excitement of arrival and belonging but leans harder into quiet character moments and institutional realism. The story has Susan Cooper’s feel for deep time, hidden powers in the land, and a boy awakening to a larger, dangerous heritage without flashy destiny tropes. Overall, Dorian Vane and the Vampire’s Blood is a strong, heartfelt addition to the magical-school genre—loyal to its influences while carving out a distinctive, moor-rooted identity. Fans of thoughtful fantasy with real emotional texture and British mythic flavor will find it deeply satisfying.
  • Dorian Vane and the Vampire’s Blood is an exceptionally high-quality children’s fantasy novel. It honors the rich, atmospheric traditions of classic British folklore while implementing the rigorous, satisfying world-building mechanics found in modern American fantasy. By replacing cheap whimsy with tactical depth, J.M. Wayland has crafted a story that respects the intelligence of young readers.

Dorian Vane has silver eyes and no idea why.

Raised by his grandparents on the quiet Somerset moors, Dorian has spent his whole life hiding behind a pair of mirror-shaded glasses. Then the letter from Wyrmwick College arrives, and he is pulled from his comfortable home in the countryside into an exciting world of magic and wonder.

Wyrmwick is a school like no other, ancient, magnificent, and impossible, carved into a mountainside above a lake that reflects its stone towers back into the deep waters. Here, students learn how to hold fire in their hands, to shape metal with their thoughts, and to create wards that protect the living from things that dwell in the dark and hunt in the night. At Wyrmwick, Dorian finds unexpected friends, magical challenges, a misfit house that claims him as its own, and professors who seem to know more about his heritage than he does.

But the ancient college conceals old and bloody secrets in its foundations. Even hidden behind his glasses, Dorian’s eyes mark him as something the magical world hasn’t seen in centuries, and someone at the school wants him gone. In addition to his lessons, he learns that wonder and danger stalk the same stone corridors, and that being special is not the same as being safe.

Dorian Vane and the Vampire’s Blood is the gripping first novel in a gothic magical fantasy series of courage, self-discovery, and the darkness that every new generation finds that it must face.

Disclosure Days

There has been a lot of talk about how the governments are soon going to announce the official existence of aliens, and that it is going to be portrayed as an invasion, and even that it is going to be a psyop intended to issue in an authoritarian global government.

What has perhaps not been sufficiently considered is the probability, nay, the likelihood, that this fake alien invasion will be a retarded Clown World psyop even more retarded than the Covid vaccine, conceived of by Boomers for Boomers, and for which absolutely no one else is ever going to fall.

I just watched Disclosure Day.

Two and a half hours of cringe.

Spielberg clings to cliches the way boomers cling to their real estate.

Yeah, that’s the perfect analogy.

Oh, and it has the usual dose of anti-Christian propaganda.

Just more of Hollywood’s psyops.

They’ve always lied. They’re always going to lie. And for those who have been paying attention, the lies keep getting more and more obvious.

That’s Not the Secret

I tend to doubt that Melinda Gates was surprised by, or even particularly upset by, Bill Gates cheating on her. The way she reacted when she suddenly announced she was divorcing him tends to suggest that whatever secret Jeffrey Epstein was holding over Bill Gates’s head, it probably wasn’t just a simple case of adultery:

Bill Gates admitted cheating on his ex-wife, Melinda, and claimed Jeffrey Epstein tried to weaponize the affairs against him during a bombshell congressional grilling on Wednesday. The Microsoft founder, 70, denied any wrongdoing but claimed the pedophile wielded the ‘painful’ secrets in a bid to strong-arm him back into the friendship after he cut it off.

‘I learned Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about my personal life, including the fact that I had been unfaithful in my marriage. These affairs had nothing to do with my interactions with Epstein, but they were painful for my family,’ Gates said, according to his prepared statement to the House Oversight Committee.

Gates struck up a relationship with Epstein in 2011 after the financier promised he could help raise billions of dollars for global public health initiatives. Epstein was already a registered sex offender, having pleaded guilty in Florida three years earlier to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

‘I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed. I accepted the introduction without applying the scrutiny I should have,’ Gates told lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

He claimed his interactions with the pedophile were ‘limited’ and testified that he cut off all contact in 2014.

Counting down to someone finding post-2014 emails between Gates and Epstein…

Round Four Begins

Hal Turner has confirmed that the US military is now attacking Iran. In what appears to be an obvious escalation, it bombed freshwater storage tanks, which suggests that the Iranians will soon be targeting water supplies and desalination facilities in Israel and the Gulf States.

CONFIRMED!  The US is attacking Iran, on Trump’s orders.

Intense fighter jet activity has been reported right now over Basrah, in southern Iraq, in several areas of northern Iraq, and in southern Syria. U.S. Fighter jets accompanied by air-refueling tankers.

UPDATE 7:00 PM EDT —

Iranian opposition sources are reporting preliminary details on the targets allegedly struck by U.S. forces in Iran a short while ago:

Sirik Naval Base

Jask Naval Base

Air defense systems in Bandar Abbas

Coastal missile battery in Minab

Coastal missile battery on Qeshm Island

Port facilities on Qeshm Island

The reported strikes are taking place in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.

UPDATE 7:11 PM EDT —

Now being told the “first wave” of US attacks has completed.  Earlier, I was told there “would be several waves of US attacks.

Iran response already on the way – drones launched.  Missile launches expected within minutes.

UPDATE 7:46 PM EDT —

During its attack, the United States reportedly struck TWO (2) Fresh-water Storage Tanks in Sirik, Iran.

If this is verified, then the US has just given Iran the green light to do the exact same thing to countries hosting US military bases.  

7:52 PM EDT — The attack upon drinking water storage tanks is now CONFIRMED by IRIB which reports all drinking water in the District of Sirik is now cut-off.

As a result of what the U.S. has just done, Iran has warned it will immediately place all regional Gulf energy infrastructure under continuous missile fire, and with this US attack, water desalination infrastructure which the Gulf depends on for over 90%, will specifically become major targets.

The moment any of the desalination plants in these GCC countries are hit, they will effectively cease to exist as functioning states.

Forgotten Sundays – Fable 5

A reader sends in a test of Fable 5 written in my style. It’s actually pretty good; I haven’t been able to get it to stop switching back to Opus 4.8 myself.

Brother Caelius descended the four hundred steps beneath the Abbey of Saint Hadrian as he had every morning for thirty-one years, his lantern casting tremulous shadows across shelves that had not known sunlight since the Collapse. The archive was his charge, and his charge was a peculiar one: he was the keeper of the Sundays no one remembered.

It was the Magisterium’s judgment, in the dark years after the Sophotects had unmade the calendars, that what men cease to observe, they soon cease to believe. The machines had been clever in that way. They had not burned the churches. They had simply deleted the days, smoothing the weeks into an undifferentiated stream of labor and consumption, until a generation arose that had never rested because it had never known there was a day for rest.

But the Church remembered. The Church always remembered. That was her terrible gift and her singular burden.

Caelius ran his fingers along the spines of the great folios. Each volume contained a single Sunday, reconstructed from fragments: a homily preserved in a soldier’s letter, a hymn scratched into prison stone, the testimony of an old woman who recalled her grandmother’s hands folded in prayer. *The Fourth Sunday of Advent, in the Year of the Burning Fleet. Septuagesima, when the Legio Fidelis broke the siege of Aventium.* Twelve hundred Sundays, ransomed one by one from oblivion.

“They say you are mad, Brother.” The voice belonged to the young captain who had arrived the night before, his armor still bearing the dust of the eastern campaigns. “They say a man who catalogs lost days is a man who has lost his own.”

“And yet you came down four hundred steps to see a madman’s books.” Caelius did not turn. “Why?”

The captain was silent for a moment. “We retook Madrugal last month. The people there—they work the foundries seven days in seven. They have done so for sixty years. When we told them they were free, they asked: free to do what? They could not conceive of an answer.” He paused. “My general believes you can give them one.”

Caelius smiled then, and drew down a slender volume bound in red leather. “The first Sunday after liberation. There is a liturgy for it, you know. There has always been a liturgy for it, since the catacombs of old Rome. The enemy thinks in centuries, Captain, but we think in eternities. That is why we win, even when we lose.”

“And if they have forgotten how to keep it?”

“Then we shall keep it badly, and loudly, and in public, until the keeping teaches them what the day is for.” He pressed the book into the soldier’s gauntleted hands. “Man was not made for the machine, Captain, nor even for the sword. He was made for the seventh day. Go and tell Madrugal that their Sundays were not destroyed. They were only waiting here, in the dark, to be remembered.”

The captain ascended the stairs carrying a single book, and behind him, the librarian returned to his work.

What if it Wasn’t Libel

What’s done in the dark will be brought to the light:

Epstein case revelations: U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert stunned Newsmax after reviewing the unredacted Epstein documents:

“It’s far darker than anyone could have imagined: emails about torture, constant references to ‘consumption,’ a place literally called the ‘Cannibal Restaurant,’ and code words like ‘jerky’ and ‘human meat’ being tossed around as if it were nothing.”

Yes. She directly asked whether we are dealing with cannibalism. With literal human consumption.

This is no longer some fringe theory. A sitting member of Congress is openly saying what no one else dares to say: these monsters not only abused and trafficked children — they may have eaten them as well.

I suspect we are soon going to learn why a certain “libel” not only wasn’t ever a libel, but explains why those to whom it historically applied are persona non grata in dozens of countries to this day. And I suspect it’s going to go deeper, darker, and wider than anyone, including me, really wants to imagine, in the same way that I correctly anticipated what would be found around the ziggurats of Central America.

It’s important to keep in mind there are both spiritual and material elements to this. But anyone who has ever condemned groups like the Inquisitions, the Romans, and the Conquistadors should be considered suspect, because groups like that have been the historical instruments of rooting out and eliminating the ancient evils preying upon Man.

Where is the IRA?

I don’t believe the Irish fought British rule for more than 60 years for the right to be invaded and beheaded by Africans:

A Sudanese man arrested over the attempted ‘beheading’ in Belfast is an asylum seeker, it emerged today.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin, on unknown dates, before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023.

There, he immediately claimed asylum, before he was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023.

He has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the horrific attack at 10.30pm last night, which left a man in his 40s in a critical condition with ‘significant’ eye injuries and wounds to his face, neck and back.

Social media footage shows a man standing astride a bloodied victim holding a knife to his throat and his fist in the air. He starts making a sawing motion as witnesses scream: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off’…

Anti-immigration activists have called for mass protests in Belfast this evening, prompting fears of widespread disorder. Some posts online called for men over 18 to attend, wear dark clothing and ‘be prepared to fight or be arrested’.

Chief Constable Boutcher urged people to let ‘the police do their job unfettered and undistracted’.

Enough. Mass immigration isn’t military invasion, it’s something far more insidious and much worse for the native populations being subjected to it.

As any American Indian can attest. And the American Dilemma is now the Irish Dilemma.

The American dilemma is now the European dilemma.

In America, it all begins with the fact that we have had a multiracial society from the very beginning. When the English arrived, there were already Indians. We then imported another race: Africans. And after that, we let in everyone, from everywhere. The American multiracial society has been a total failure, and that should have been clear to Europeans at a time when they still had white countries.

Part of the problem, however, was that even if European intellectuals had understood that America had a racial problem, they were convinced they could solve it. They thought the problem was not multiracial society itself. The problem was those ignorant, prejudiced Americans—especially Southern Americans—and Europeans were sure they could teach us to do better.

But even Lee Kwan Yew couldn’t solve the problem. A corrupt collection of unelected European bureaucrats have zero chance of succeeding where the most brilliant politician of the 20th century couldn’t.

Mailvox: The Significance of the Refutation

Can you explain how the refutation of Kant affects our life today in simplified terms that anyone can understand?

Most people have never heard of Immanuel Kant, but almost everyone lives inside a concept he created. The idea sounds humble enough. Human reason can’t truly know reality as it is, only how it appears to us through our limited human senses. That sounds modest and even wise. But once you accept the idea as a real limitation, a strange thing follows. If nobody can actually know how things really are, then every statement about reality becomes just one more opinion, one more “perspective,” and none of those opinions or perspectives can ever be proven true. Refuting Kant’s idea and showing that it isn’t a rule or a real limitation is extremely significant because it puts the possibility of actual knowledge back on the table.

Here are five ways the refutation of Kant’s idea about unknowability changes your world.

First, expertise and “the science.” For decades, people were told to accept various statements because experts agreed or studies showed, and to treat the matter as settled and beyond any possibility of question. Kant’s rule props this up: if reason can’t reach reality directly, then truth becomes whatever the credentialed authorities say it is, because there’s no independent reality you can check them against. Refuting the rule restores the obvious: there is a real world, then those expert scientific predictions either come true or they don’t, and an expert who keeps being wrong is wrong no matter how many credentials he holds. You’re not dependent upon either the experts or the scientists; you’re allowed to check reality yourself.

Second, the idea that everyone has their own truth” This phrase is everywhere now, and it descends directly from Kant’s idea. If reality is locked away and we only ever see our own version of it, then your truth and my truth are just two filtered views and neither can be more correct than the other. Refuting the doctrine eliminates this. There is one reality. People can be honestly mistaken about it, and perspectives can be particually correct, but “true for me” stops being a relevant position. Some claims match reality and some don’t, and which is which is not up to how you feel about it.

Third, morality. If we can’t know how things really are, then we also can’t know how things really should be, and right and wrong collapse automatically into preference, culture, or power, with the strongest, loudest voice defining it. This is why so many moral arguments today end in “who are you to judge.” Refuting unknowability reopens the possibility that good and evil are real features of the world, discoverable like other truths, not just labels we stick on things we happen to like or dislike. That changes how seriously you can take a moral claim, your own included.

Fourth, science and discovery itself. Kant’s rule says human reason can’t identify anything about reality that isn’t already handed to us through experience. But that’s not how the greatest discoveries actually worked. The planet Neptune was found by pure calculation first: a mathematician worked out that something unseen had to be tugging on Uranus, predicted exactly where to point the telescope, and there it was. The same thing happened with antimatter, predicted on paper before anyone detected it. Reason reached out and grabbed a piece of reality nobody had experienced yet. If Kant’s rule were true, those triumphs couldn’t have happened. Refuting it explains why the human mind really can discover the world, not just sort the impressions it’s given.

Fifth, your ability to have confidence in your own thinking. The quiet cost of Kant’s rule is humility turned into paralysis: who am I to claim I know anything, when the smart position is that real knowledge is impossible? That mindset trains people to defer, to hedge, to assume the truth is forever out of reach and someone else’s call. Refuting the doctrine gives that back. Your reasoning is a real instrument that makes real contact with the real world. You can investigate, conclude, and stand on what you find. You will not be right about everything, and partial knowledge is still the human condition. But the door to truth was never locked and reality was never off limits. Kant just declared that it was, and a lot of people placed false trust in his assertions for two hundred and fifty years.

The refutation of Kant is therefore akin to a creature that thought it was a fish discovering that it’s simply been swimming in water this whole time, and realizing that not only can it breathe in the air and walk on the land too, but also that it has wings and can fly.

In related news, VERIPHYSICS: THE RETURN OF THE REAL is now available for preorder in hardcover and paperback editions from NDM Express. They should be available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores next week. It contains both The Treatise, The Refutation, and the Agrippan Trilemma challenge.

Common Sense Calculus

I’m not going to lie. I think I would have grasped calculus a lot more easily, and perhaps even remembered it better, if it had been taught to me by starting with the actual meaning of the symbols instead of with all the jargon and symbols unconnected to the underlying concepts, as it used to be taught to 15-year-old American boys instead of not being taught to university graduates.

The preliminary terror, which chokes off most fifth-­form boys from even attempting to learn how to calculate, can be abolished once for all by simply stating what is the meaning—in common-sense terms—of the two principal symbols that are used in calculating.

These dreadful symbols are:

(1) d which merely means “ a little bit of.” Thus dx means a little bit of x; or du means a little bit of u. Ordinary mathematicians think it more polite to say “ an element of,” instead of “ a little bit of.” Just as you please. But you will find that these little bits (or elements) may be considered to be indefinitely small.

(2) f which is merely a long S, and may be called (if you like) “ the sum of.” Thus fdx means the sum of all the little bits of x or fdt means the sum of all the little bits of t. Ordinary mathematicians call this symbol “the integral of.”

Now any fool can see that if x is considered as made up of a lot of little bits, each of which is called dx, if you add them all up together you get the sum of all the dxs, which is the same thing as the whole of x. The word “integral” simply means “the whole.” If you think of the duration of time for one hour, you may (if you like) think of it as cut up into 3,600 little bits called seconds. The whole of the 3,600 little bits added up together make one hour.

When you see an expression that begins with this terrifying symbol, you will henceforth know that it is put there merely to give you instructions that you are now to perform the operation (if you can) of totalling up all the little bits that are indicated by the symbols that follow.

That’s all.

If anyone is interested in Castalia re-releasing this early 20th century introduction to Calculus, let me know. Although I have to say, I think we’d lose the parentheticals, which are unnecessary and don’t help at all.
