Bumbling Toward War

The UK Prime Minister is rattling his sabre in the direction of Russia while he dances in a desperate attempt to save his job.

‘We need to make it very clear to the Kremlin, to Russia, that that would be a disastrous step.’

The government has ruled out sending combat troops, but Mr Johnson said Britain is ‘leading on creating a package of economic sanctions’ against Russia and he would be speaking to international allies later.

‘We also need to get a message that invading Ukraine, from a Russian perspective, is going to be a painful, violent and bloody business,’ he said.

He’s dancing because the Tory establishment’s ability to bury the fallout from Partygate appears to be failing.

Allies of the PM say he is still ‘determined’ to ride out the crisis.

‘He’s feeling determined,’ one MP loyal to Johnson told The Times.

‘He genuinely believes that he didn’t break any rules and that he was going to the garden [on May 20, 2020] to say thank you.’

But an anonymous source told the Telegraph they would be ‘very surprised’ if Mr Johnson was still in power by the end of the week.

‘Met officers have spoken to Sue Gray now, as you would expect, and have been able to provide a lot of information,’ the source said. ‘Put it this way, if Boris Johnson is still Prime Minister by the end of the week, I’d be very surprised.’

UPDATE: Johnson is beyond toast at this point. The idiot actually had a birthday party thrown for him by his wicked evil witch-wife. He’s going to have a tough time explaining that he also didn’t know his birthday party was a party.

ITV News understands Boris Johnson had a birthday party during the first lockdown in 2020 despite the rules forbidding social gatherings indoors at the time. It’s alleged that the prime minister’s wife, Carrie Johnson, helped organise a surprise get-together for him on the afternoon of 19 June just after 2pm. Up to 30 people are said to have attended the event in the Cabinet Room after Boris Johnson returned from an official visit to a school in Hertfordshire.

The Woke of the Rings

As bad as the converged The Wheel of Time has been, Amazon’s upcoming abuse of The Silmarillion promises to be even worse:

First, the Tolkien Estate did not do this willingly. They got hurt in arbitration with Warner Brothers and part of the settlement is that they had to allow a Lord of the Rings. Although, they did get to maintain a right of absolute veto over everything. And when Amazon was up against Christopher Tolkein, he used it. He kept this hideous abortion in development hell for years, probably with the hope that Amazon would give up and the rights would revert.

But then he died and the horrifying travesty moved forward.

The creators that have been handed this project have no experience as being the guys in charge but they have years in the business working for… Bad Reboot.

Whatever hope you might have had can be abandoned now.

Inclusivity, diversity, new characters, and LGBT representation. It’s all going to be there. And it’s all going to be awful.

On the plus side, ARTS OF DARK AND LIGHT remains completely unconverged.

No Coverage for Vaccine Damage

One of Germany’s largest insurance companies will not pay for vaccine-related injuries. There is some reason to believe that this will be true of U.S. insurance companies as well.

Was gilt als versicherter Unfall bei der Unfallversicherung ? Was nicht?

Accident insurance does not cover the following accidents :

  • If you suffer an accident due to impaired consciousness as a result of drug use.
  • If you suffer an accident while driving a motor vehicle due to impaired consciousness as a result of alcohol consumption (with an alcohol content in the blood of 1.1 per mille or more ).
  • The damage to health is caused by you intentionally.
  • Vaccination injuries due to ordered mass vaccinations.
  • Accidents during active participation in motor sport competitions or training.
  • Accidents due to war or civil war events.

Only Fools Trust Science

Science doesn’t even rise to the level of accuracy attained by gamers playing games:

Apart from a minority of professional gamers, speedrunning is a hobby, and the community is moderated by volunteers. Science is, well, science: a crucially important endeavor that we need to get right, a prestige industry employing hundreds of thousands of paid, dedicated, smart people, submitting their research to journals run by enormously profitable publishing companies.

Perhaps the very status of science is what makes its practitioners reluctant to pursue fraudsters: Not only do scientists find it difficult to imagine that their peers or colleagues could be making up the data, but questioning a suspect data set could result in anything from extended frustration and social awkwardness to the destruction of someone’s career. You can see why so many scientists, who hope for a quiet life where they can pursue their own research, aren’t motivated to grasp the nettle.

But the consequences of ignoring fraud can be drastic too, and whole evidence bases, sometimes for medical treatments, can be polluted by fraudulent studies. The entire purpose of the scientific endeavor is brought into question if its gatekeepers—the reviewers and editors and others who are supposed to be the custodians of scientific probity—are so often presented with evidence of fraud and so often fail to take action.

If unpaid Minecraft mods can produce a 29-page mathematical analysis of Dream’s contested run, then scientists and editors can find the time to treat plausible fraud allegations with the seriousness they deserve. If the maintenance of integrity can become such a crucial interest for a community of gaming hobbyists, then it can be the same for a community of professional researchers. And if the speedrunning world can learn lessons from so many cases of cheating, there’s no excuse for scientists who fail to do the same.

Not only is scientistry – the profession of science – entirely corrupt, but the massive extent of its corruption has rendered a) the knowledge base unreliable and b) cast every claim of an application of scientody – the scientific method – into intrinsic doubt.

The corollary to this is that anyone demanding that one “trust the science” is not only engaging in rhetoric, but is either doing so in ignorance or for the purposes of deceit.

Scientists don’t catch fraud because they don’t want to. It’s not in their interest and it has not been for decades. Never trust science. There is a word for the kind of science you can trust, and it is a distinct subset of science, being comprised of a hypothesis that has not only been tested, but applied in practice.

Trust God and engineering.

The Best Thing That Ever Happened

The latest Vaxx Trax, THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED, is now available for your listening pleasure. Lyrics by Vox Day with assistance from Scott Adams… or possibly the other way around. Scott once claimed that I am his mascot. Whether that is true or not, it is eminently clear that Scott Adams is my muse.

I hate the world tonight
Shelley said that I was wrong, but I was right
Tried to tell you but you seem to think that
Maybe I said something incorrect
I say you project

Don’t hallucinate
If you think I’m wrong I’ll just equivocate
I can understand how you’d be so confused
I don’t envy you
I’m a prophet and an oracle of perfect persuasion

You’re a bitch
You’re a cunt
You’re cognitive dissonant
You’re a nasty human stain
And you should be ashamed
You’re a total narcissist
You fucking piece of shit
And so you’d better shut up, go the hell away

Don’t you know who I am?
This may mean you’ll have to try to understand
Rest assured that when you think I contradict
Half the things that I predict
Tomorrow they will change, yesterday’s won’t mean a thing

You’re a bitch
You’re a cunt
You’re a mental midget runt
You’re disgusting you’re insane
And you should be ashamed
I’m a master hypnotist
You fucking piece of shit
And now you’re banned so you should go the hell away

Just when you think you got me figured out
My reason’s already changing
You should die and I’ll tell you why
Don’t comment at me

You’re a bitch
You’re a cunt
You’re a sick and evil front
You’re so stupid you’re so vain
And you should be ashamed
I’m a master hypnotist
And you’re the narcissist
So shut the fuck up Shelley, go the hell away

I’m a seer, I’m the law
I’m perfect without a flaw
The best thing that ever happened
To you bitch you’re probably fat and
I got you hypnotized
Can’t say I ever lied
You know I’m always right in every single way

Stay Out of the Skies

Thanks to the vaccine mandates, the friendly skies are now full of emergencies.

VAXTASTROPHE IN THE SKY

This was real easy to fact check, it is legit. I have fact checked this, it is legit.

In-flight emergency sqwaks, (sqwak 7700) have indeed increased by about 124X (12,400 percent) since the vax. Gosh, that matches the previous percentage increase of pilot deaths too. Pretty soon we are going to start having planes with both pilot and co-pilot disabled.

A while ago I posted a list of all the commercial pilot deaths post vax. Pilots are quite healthy so usually the list only has a few per year. However, after the vax there were hundreds on the list for 2021, and now we have THIS from a pilot:

“Something HUGE and really scary is going on with aviation. You can see for yourself. I am a former airline captain, I am out of the industry but I still keep tabs of what is going on. I have an app on my phone, it’s a free app that you can download yourself, it is called flightradar24. One of the really cool features of this app is you can have alerts set up so if an aircraft somewhere in the world declares an emergency, in the industry we call it squawking 7700, you can get a notification. I’ve had this app for years and usually you would see one to four emergencies pop up every month. That’s how it’s always been, aviation is pretty safe, there’s not a whole lot of emergencies worldwide on the monthly basis. But over the last couple of months I have been getting notifications sometimes up to 10 times a day. I’ve already had four this morning! Something huge and scary is going on out there and nobody is talking about it. I am seeing so many aircraft declaring emergencies on a daily basis, and I don’t know what is going on. You don’t have to believe me, you can download the app for yourself and set up the notifications. A lot of emergencies happening these days, I don’t know if I want to fly commercially anymore.”

I’m not inclined to pay any more attention at all to any of those people still attempting to defend the vaccines. A vaccinated friend of ours is now in an induced coma following emergency surgery for an arterial thrombosis. Vaxx defenders and global depopulationists can dance around the completely obvious all they like concerning the cause, but you, and I, and everyone else with half-a-brain knows perfectly well that it was the vaccine that was responsible.

We knew from the start that they were wicked, evil, ineffective, and dangerous. There was no reason to believe, even for a fraction of a second, that they were going to save any lives or improve human health. And we were right.

UPDATE: Someone wrote me to complain about what he believed was the insufficiency of linking to the site where I got the information.

For fuck sake, you rip that article off of Jim Stone and don’t even give him attribution credit?? Pieces of shit like you guys are everything that’s wrong with alt media. If you’re going to steal someone’s work at least have the balls to give them credit for it.

First, who is Jim Stone? Second, why should I give attribution to anyone when it is seldom given to me? Third, I linked directly to it; a link is much better than attribution. Fourth, how is quoting a selection from and linking to an article “ripping it off”? Fifth, you’re not the Internet Police. Knock it off.

The Soviet Union Didn’t Collapse

Everything you know about the end of the Cold War is wrong, as a U.S. ambassador who was witness to the events explains:

Octavian Report: To what extent were Reagan and Gorbachev as people essential to ending the Cold War?

Ambassador Jack Matlock: I think only Reagan and Gorbachev would have been able to do what they did. You had to have the two of them in office at the same time. Now, the first George Bush finished it off. But essentially, the Cold War was over ideologically when Reagan left office. It was just up to Bush to continue the policies Reagan had set with Gorbachev in order to finish it peacefully. It was finished by negotiation so that both sides came out as winners. That’s why today, when we talk about winning the Cold War as if Russia was the loser, we’re not only distorting history, we’re making it much more difficult to build a peaceful world.

OR: In what way do you think Russia won?

Matlock: First of all, Russia was part of the Soviet Union. We ended the Cold War with the Soviet Union, not with Russia. We’ve got to stop talking about Russia as if it was the same entity, whether a Communist empire or whether the current Russian Federation. There are a few characteristics that they share, but these are entirely different political entities.

That’s one thing you have to understand. The Soviet Union won the Cold War — as did everybody else. Ending it saved them from the collapse that was going on internally. The arms race was killing them. Their ideology was killing them. Their foreign policy was not in their interest. Gorbachev saw that and Reagan saw that. We set terms to end the Cold War which were in the interest of the Soviet Union if they wanted to follow a peaceful policy towards the West, which they did.

Losing the Cold War would have been if it went hot. Everybody would have lost. We ended it without anyone losing anything. The Soviet Union lost nothing in ending the Cold War other than its control of Eastern Europe, which was not an advantage for it but a disadvantage. The idea that somehow controlling other countries that don’t want you to control them is an asset is absolutely wrong. Look at the problems we have in the Middle East today. It is a liability. It is not an asset. In giving up those liabilities, Gorbachev made it possible to try to reform the system.

He was unable to do so but the system broke up from the inside after the Cold War was over. Ending the Cold War, ending the arms race which literally was killing their economy, ending their attempt to project their power abroad which was creating liabilities, ending all of that was to the advantage of the Soviet Union. It gave the country the possibility of reforming and coming into the late 20th century. They couldn’t do so under the conditions of the Cold War.

The seeds of future wars are often planted in the ends of the previous one. The neocons who used to control the Soviet Union now control only Ukraine and, to a lesser extent, the United States. That’s why they are now so eager for war with Russia, since the Russians managed to free themselves from neocon rule and the so-called neo-liberal world order with the collapse of the Yeltsin regime.

The events of the present make a lot more sense once one has a more accurate account of those of the past.
