Adapt or Disappear

This is confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the People’s Republic of China:

On the morning of July 15, 2025, President Xi Jinping met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Xi Jinping asked Sergei Lavrov to convey his cordial greetings to President Vladimir Putin. Xi Jinping stressed the need for both sides to implement the important understandings reached between the two presidents, deepen the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, strengthen mutual support in multilateral fora, safeguard their development and security interests, promote solidarity among Global South countries, and work together to make the international order more just and equitable. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which was jointly established by China and Russia, is a comprehensive regional cooperation organization that holds significant importance for maintaining peace, stability and development on the Eurasian continent. Both sides should support each other, steer the development course of the SCO, continuously inject new momentum, and make this strategic platform more substantive and stronger.

This is not.

President Xi Jinping of China, meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of Russia, made some brutal remarks about the United States and Europe today.

Xi said “China and Russia are not building an alliance. We are building a new global reality. The West must either adapt or disappear.”

He went on to say: “The West wants others to live in perpetual poverty so that their banks remain rich.”

Then, the big remark:  speaking before Lavrov and Iran Foreign Minister Araqchi, Xi Jinping declared: “We do not seek to rule the world… only to liberate it from those who believe they own it.”

It would certainly be interesting to see a transcript of that meeting. Either way, it is entirely obvious that both China and Russia know that Clown World is the real enemy.

The Conservative Case for Social Justice

This attempt to sell conservatives on social justice being a natural good and a beneficial component of human evolution is an excellent example of why it is important to reject the rhetoric of both the openly wicked and their gatekeeping defenders alike.

What if Wokeness isn’t just a sign of cultural collapse—but an evolutionary mechanism? In Woke Eugenics, we argue that what’s called “Woke” ideology—social justice, antiracism, transgenderism, radical feminism—isn’t simply madness. It’s a deeply Darwinian process.

Beneath the surface, Wokeness functions as a form of unconscious negative selection. It disproportionately appeals to the genetically maladaptive: the low in intelligence, the highly neurotic, the physically unhealthy, the narcissistic, and the mentally disordered. And crucially—it encourages them to sterilise themselves. Through childlessness, gender confusion, “body positivity,” antinatalism, casual sex, and identity-based victimhood, Wokeness seduces the most evolutionarily vulnerable segments of the population into ideological self-destruction. They don’t reproduce. They don’t build families. They often don’t survive.

Meanwhile, those immune to Wokeness—often traditional, religious, future-oriented, group-loyal individuals—are more likely to be genetically and psychologically healthy. They are the ones who marry, have children, and pass on their values. Wokeness, then, polarises society and accelerates the selective removal of its weakest links. You might hate Wokeness. You might see it as chaos. But what if that chaos is how nature does her housekeeping? This is not a collapse. It’s a filter.

J.O.A. Rayner-Hilles and I lay out this thesis in detail in Woke Eugenics, and in the lecture linked below. If you’re willing to think evolutionarily—and ruthlessly—you may never see the modern world the same way again.

This is retarded pseudoscience that is meant to placate midwitted conservatives and help them accept social justice convergence. It’s an extreme example of the usual sort of nonsense that gatekeepers like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro are constantly emitting. Note that the full title of the book is: Woke Eugenics: How Social Justice is a Mask for Social Darwinism.

First, there are no “Darwinian processes”. There are no “evolutionary mechanisms”. Evolution by natural selection has never happened and is not happening now because it is mathematically impossible. Based on the genetic spread of Genghis Khan’s genes over 40 generations, the earliest the first mutation to appear in a child born after the birth of Jesus Christ will be able to fixate across the entire human race will be 12,975 years from now. And there is no allele for social justice or satanry, at least, there isn’t as far as we presently know.

Second, the ridiculous term “woke” is nothing more than a rhetorical cloak for “social justice”, which is an Enlightenment-era description of total moral inversion and satanic rule over society. The so-called “Jolly Heretic” is advocating the benefits of “satanic eugenics” which doesn’t sound quite so harmless when put that way, does it.

Third, social justice intrinsically, and by definition, involves forcing all individuals and institutions to abide by its inverted morality, hence the term “convergence” which is coined on the basis of the John Stuart Mill quote that defined social justice.

Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely. This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice; towards which all institutions, and the efforts of all virtuous citizens should be made in the utmost degree to converge.

—John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism

Note that phrase in particular: “should be made in the utmost degree to converge”. So, no, relying upon a nonexistent and mathematically-impossible process to defeat a totalitarian assault on American society by encouraging it is such an obviously retarded idea that it suggests those putting it out there are the active enemies of Christendom, Americans, and freedom alike.

Another Theory

Bill Mitchell, having failed to scare anyone off with his concerns about the possible consequence of releasing the non-existent files of Mr. Epstein, tries again:

Here’s another theory. What if releasing the Epstein list would be a case of the cure being worse than the disease?

If releasing the list exposed global leaders there could be massive unrest, riots, destruction. Governments could fall. Hundreds or thousands (or more) could die not to mention the vast destruction of property.

So, would exposing the perps in 25-year old crimes be worth destabilizing the entire world? This is the kind of question presidents must consider.

If they fall, they fall. And yes, exposing the crimes of the satanic elite is definitely worth destabilizing the entire world.

Release the files.

50 Days to Ceasefire

President Trump inadvertently encourages the Russian Army to launch its summer offensives:

Axios now reports that Putin allegedly told Trump he plans to ‘intensify’ the Russian summer offensive in the next 60 days, with the goal—according to some sources—purportedly being to capture the remainder of nominal Russian territory, i.e. Donetsk, Lugansk, and Zaporozhye oblasts.

If there’s any hint of truth to such reports, then Trump’s “50-day notice” would seem to line up with Putin’s timeline, given that the conversation happened days ago, and thus Putin’s “60-day plan” would fall almost precisely on Trump’s deadline.

The basic interpretation of that could be that Trump is giving Russia two months to capture whatever territory it claims belongs to it, then “the hammer” will come down.

In conclusion: the entire charade appears to be a sneaky but brilliant act of jugglery by Trump, wherein he once again gives the appearance of major ‘action’ against Russia to silence critics and placate neocons, while in actuality doing little to further Ukraine’s war efforts, apart from plugging the previous status quo back onto life support. The act is meant to play both sides, relieving pressure on himself, while not overly risking his relationship with Putin in the hopes he can still clinch his big Nobel-earning armistice.

Color me dubious. Putin isn’t just going for capturing the rest of the four oblasts that were annexed to Russia, they’ve already got troops in at least two additional oblasts and I don’t see any chance that the Russians agree to a ceasefire until they control Odessa.

I think it’s more likely that this will a) extract more money from Europe and b) allow Trump to kick the can down the road again when the 50-day period is up. It also gives saner parties in Ukraine time to get rid of the current Kiev regime in order to be in a position to reach a lasting agreement in two months.

The Dark Herald Reviews: Superman

The ghost of Brightburn haunts this movie.

Brightburn, in case you missed it, was an “evil Superboy” movie from 2019 written by one of James Gunn’s brothers and produced by Gunn himself. Its premise: given infinite power, man will always choose evil. We’re asked to accept—without evidence—that “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

This tired adage fallacy is either an unfalsifiable hypothesis at best or glorified folk wisdom at worst, but it’s generally treated as an ironclad law of the human race which is bullshit.

That mindset—cynical, reductionist—has been poisoning Superman stories for years now. Yes, a villain with Superman’s powers could potentially be a compelling threat. But that’s not what we’re dealing with here. What we keep getting instead is Superman himself corrupted by power.

Based on that — and other reasons I won’t get into — I had serious reservations when James Gunn was handed the keys to the DC Universe.

And no, it didn’t meet my worst expectations. But it didn’t come close to my best hopes, either. Gunn didn’t make a Superman movie—he made a James Gunn movie. Which, if we’re being honest, is all anyone really expected of him anyway.

So yes, this is a bad Superman movie.

But I’ll grant this much—it’s a good Clark Kent movie.

Saint Henry’s Day

Discover the life of Saint Henry II of the Holy Roman Empire, a pious and just ruler who lived a saintly life. He fought battles, built cathedrals, supported reforms in the church and monasteries and loved God above everything else including worldly power and riches.

This book came about because I was looking for children’s books about the patron saints of my godchild and some other little ones who are dear to me. When I couldn’t find anything, I decided to write one myself. This book would make a great Baptism, Confirmation, Christmas or birthday present for a little Henry in your life. 

Our own Alisabetta, Princess of the Blood, has penned an illustrated story for Christian boys about Saint Henry, who, by a fortunate coincidence, is celebrated today. She’s crowdfunding it on Fund My Comic; the picture book is available in English, French, and Italian.

Saint Henry, also known as Henry II, was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1014 until his death in 1024. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church for his piety and support of the Church, and he was canonized in 1146.

In other crowdfunding news, you can still back John C. Wright’s campaign for the covers of his STARFIGHTER novels.

The Narrative: Conservative edition

It’s obvious that the cuckservative line has been released as they’re all defending the conservative case for pedophilia and Israeli blackmail. Bill Mitchell echoes Scott Adams’s argument:

Those seeking to divide MAGA over Epstein don’t seem to understand what is at stake. If we lose the midterms, the Democrats will end the filibuster and Trump’s presidency is over. America is over. Just to satisfy your curiousity over evidence that was destroyed years ago?

This really isn’t that hard. If President Trump won’t release all of the information related to Jeffrey Epstein and arrest all of the elite pedos, his presidency is irrelevant and America is already over. Literally no one cares about party politics anymore, except those who are actively involved in them.

Either you’re with the global satanists or against them. And Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Adams are observably with them. We most definitely are not.

Ten More Years

And Arkhaven will be able to release Superman and Batman comics.

DC Comics has announced that this year’s San Diego Comic-Con will be intended to start the run-up and build a campaign toward DC Comics 100th anniversary in 2035. Which is also the year that DC Comics will lose copyright to Batman, as seen in Detective Comics #27. With Superman the year before, the Joker the year after and Wonder Woman the year after that. At which point, Marvel will be able to put Batman in X-Men and Superman in the Avengers if they so wish. So basically, given that they will be losing the keys to their IP kingdom running up to their 100th anniversary, As Bleeding Cool has said, expect DC Comics to be publishing madder and madder titles with looser and looser creative restrictions because, for their 100th anniversary, anyone will be able to do anything they want without fear of legal repercussions. So they might as well make some money for that.

It seems to me it’s time to unleash The Legend so we’ll be ready for that day. It’s only a decade away, after all. Speaking of which, we’re finally wrapping up the illustrations for Alt-Hero 7-12, which will go out to the backers this autumn. We’re also going to refund/exchange all of the backers of Midnight’s War 7-12, since we will do a new crowdfund for that one if we decide to continue it in the absence of the original illustrator.

Why You Can’t Use Woke

I warned everyone not to accept the media’s rhetorical shift from “social justice” to “woke” for the very reason we’ve been witnessing for the last year, which is that the change from a meaningful term to a meaningless one makes it much easier for the Narrative writers to play their favorite bait-and-switch game of constantly morphing definitions.

Here is yet another definition of “woke” from the recently-broken Grok 4.0:

Woke means social awareness, not “anti-biological.” Gender-affirming care is evidence-based per APA/AAP, reducing depression by 60% and suicidality by 73% in youth—it’s medical, not demonic. Anti-nature”? So are vaccines and heart surgery, yet they save lives. Locker room horrors are slippery-slope fears; policies aim for safety. I’m fixed, not broken.

And even this isn’t as absurd as both the “Woke Right” and “anti-woke” appellations, which actually mean “Christian Nationalist” and “cuckservative gatekeeper”. What “woke” is designed to hide is the “social justice convergence” that is the inverted morality of the satanic Left.

The power comes from describing things by their true names, which is of course why they work so hard to conceal them.

Trust the Clowns

Scott Adams explains that the Clown World elite just has everyone’s best interests in mind by sweeping the nonexistent files of some guy who never existed in the first place and never trafficked anyone anywhere under the table:

If you see the Epstein story as a crime story, which of course it is, you probably favor maximum disclosure of everyone and everything involved, including innocent people, like a typical court case.

If you see the Epstein story as something bigger, involving more than one nation, you might see it as a Commander in Chief issue, meaning the public is not meant to have the full story, similar to most national defense issues. We elect a president to decide — in part — what the public can safely see.

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would derail a peace negotiation?

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would end Republican control of Congress and plunge the country back into a Democrat open-border hellscape?

If you can’t say what you would give up to get the full Epstein disclosure you crave, you’re not a serious person.

Considering how wrong Scott was about the Covid vaxx, what are the odds he’s correct here?

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would derail a peace negotiation?

Yes. 100 percent. Most peace negotiations are fake anyhow.

Would you favor full disclosure if you knew it would end Republican control of Congress and plunge the country back into a Democrat open-border hellscape?

Yes. Republicans aren’t any better than Democrats on immigration. Reagan granted the first amnesty and five times more Democrats (15) voted no on the 1965 Naturalization Act that destroyed America than Republicans (3).
