Delete Zoom

It’s more intrusive than Facebook now.

Zoom terms of service now require you to allow AI to train on ALL your data—audio, facial recognition, private conversations—unconditionally and irrevocably, with no opt out.

What is really needed now is a new Federal law banning the use of unilaterally modifiable terms of use and service. In the meantime, the only solution is to immediately stop using the products and services involved

I’ve used Zoom in the past, as recently as the interview with Stew Peters, in fact. But I deleted it from my system today.

Oppenheimer and the Manhatten PsyOp

Who would ever have imagined that Barbie may have been the more historically accurate of the two big movies this summer? Miles Mathis watches the Oppenheimer movie and concludes that it’s an inept attempt to cover for the fact that the Manhattan Project was a fraud from the very start.

At minute 47, we finally get to the Manhattan Project, and the strangest missed clue in the whole mystery is put right on the chalkboard. Oppenheimer suggests to Groves they create a secret base for the project? Where? Well, on Oppenheimer’s private ranch in New Mexico. . . Pause on that. Swish it around in your mouth for a while and taste it as if you are just swallowing for the first time. This is as strange as having the codebreaking project at Bletchley Park, or actually much stranger. In the 1940s the US military already had bases all over the country, with many in the west being out in the middle of nowhere and almost unknown. They didn’t need a new secret base, and if they did you would expect the brass to pick the location, not the 38-year-old Oppenheimer. Opie was allegedly a physicist, not an expert on US geography. So having Opie draw this up on the chalkboard as an X, and the X turn out to be his private ranch, is a magnificent and visual clue to the fake. We are supposed to believe this all happened on the private ranch of some rich guy out in the middle of nowhere? But as you see, it was perfect: it was the perfect place to hide a huge bomb project, but was also the perfect place to hide the LACK of a huge bomb project. All the secrecy would hide a project, but it would also hide the LACK of a project. What if there was nothing out there at all but some cacti and tumbleweeds? Would we know the difference to this day? No.

Here’s something else most people don’t know. Most of the uranium for the Manhattan Project supposedly came from the Shinkolobwe Mine in the Belgian Congo, Africa. But it was derelict, being flooded and then closed in 1936. The US allegedly reopened it in 1944, which seems a little late, doesn’t it, especially since they first had to pump out all the water. To answer this little problem, we are told this Belgian mining company had stockpiled 1,200 tonnes of uranium in a warehouse in Staten Island. That’s convenient isn’t it? Sometime after 1936, after being closed, this company decided to stockpile all that uranium in New York? And why would they do that? In 1936 there was no call for uranium since no one was building bombs back then. But they just put 1,200 tonnes of it in Staten Island for a rainy day, because, you know why not?

And how is this for suspicious? After the war, ore containing 1% of U3O8 was considered fantastic, but this uranium in the warehouse in Staten Island just happened to be 65%, over 65 times higher in the needed yellowcake. What luck, right? Never before or since had uranium of that mix been found, but we happened to have it sitting in a warehouse in Staten Island. Right next to the Ark of the Covenant.

Oppenheimer was a Fraud, 5 August 2023

The more one reviews the details of 20th Century history, the more obvious it becomes that literally everything has been fake and gay for a lot longer than the last twenty years of open Clown World rule. There isn’t a single item of the mainstream history narrative that can be assumed to be generally true. At this point, it is more likely that space, nukes, and dinosaurs are all more or less fraudulent than they are actually as was taught to us in our schools and universities.

Be skeptical, be very, very skeptical, that anything is as you were told it was, if you haven’t personally gone over at least a substantial percentage of the details of the sort that Miles Mathis points out in his recent paper on the Manhatten Project. Because the closer one looks at these things, the more obviously manufactured they appear to be, and the devil’s hand is revealed in the ridiculous details.

What is astonishing is the ease with which these false historical events can be debunked with a level of knowledge that goes no deeper than Wikipedia. And it would certainly be nice if somewhere, someone is keeping an account of human history that is actually more or less an accurate record of real things that actually happened.

Caesar Didn’t Have That Problem

Back in the day, Gaius Julius Caesar was facing the prospect of being charged for fake crimes by his political enemies. He never had to face them because he crossed the Rubicon with a single legion.

Actions have consequences. But a failure to act has consequences too. And those who don’t act when they have the chance shouldn’t whine about facing the inevitable consequences of their inaction.

Adios, Bitches

The end of Megan Rapinhoe’s international soccer career was truly glorious. The most annoying athlete in all of sports finished by blowing a golden opportunity to finish off Sweden on penalties in the World Cup by putting the ball five feet over the crossbar; an inept penalty attempt worse than the average high school girl’s. It’s up there with Roberto Baggio’s 1994 catastrophe, only worse, since a) Italy reached the finals, b) Baggio was just trying to keep Italy even, not win the game, and c) four years later, Baggio took and made a penalty in the 1998 World Cup to become the first Italian player to score in three World Cups.

And just to make the moment even sweeter, the outspoken anti-American lesbian-infested SJW squad, which prior to the tournament had been favored to win it, ended up losing the round-of-16 knockout match 5-4 on penalties after future star Sophia Smith put her penalty wide and over, followed by some other player whose name I don’t know hitting the right post.

I used to support the US Women’s National Team back when Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain were playing for it, and while I like Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith as players, the current team as a whole is an obnoxious, overpoliticized, and overrated embarrassment to the country. It’s good to see them lose in such an ignominious manner, especially to a team mostly comprised of pretty European blondes.

As for the winning penalty, it was a close call, but the VAR was conclusive. The US goalie did a nice job of deflecting the ball and quickly recovering to knock the ball out of the goal, and I initially thought she’d saved it, but a different angle and the VAR review showed the ball did fully cross the line.

Straight Legend

An Arkhaven-related exchange on Twitter.

Now that can only be described with one word: FATALITY!

You can subscribe to THE LEGEND ON COMICS on UATV. Even Fox News is now reporting on his insightful video streams that are available there. Seriously, I listen to his streams while I’m driving; they’re both educational and entertaining and I now know approximately 8,537 times more about the comics industry than I did when Arkhaven started.

Comic book writing veteran Chuck Dixon called out Marvel for undermining and minimizing one of its most popular heroes, the armed vigilante known as the Punisher. According to Dixon, the company is “embarrassed” by the “working class” hero and his appeal within military and police ranks.

The Punisher was a gun-wielding anti-hero created by Marvel Comics in 1974. He is described on Marvel’s website as a “Family man turned crime-fighting vigilante, Frank Castle embodies the persona of the Punisher to avenge personal tragedy and ensure all criminals receive the justice they deserve.”

Dixon, who has been in the comic book industry for decades, particularly in writing comics about The Punisher, has criticized how Marvel has handled the character in recent years. On a recent episode of his podcast, he shared theories to a fan about why Marvel may have grown to dislike one of their most popular characters…

He then suggested the thought process of Marvel leadership, “We’re going to take the Punisher, and we’re going to mangle him, and we’re going to destroy him. We’re going to do what no other entertainment company ever has done. We are going to purposely take one of our intellectual properties and tear it to the ground.”

Former ‘Punisher’ writer claims Marvel ‘hates,’ is ‘embarrassed’ by character who is loved by cops, military, FOX NEWS,

If you’re a fan of The Legend, you may also wish to note that a 60-page print edition of MY SISTER SUPREMA, one of the first comics created for Arktoons, will be available at Arkhaven next week. And about that Black Warrant… one guess how this particular scenario plays out. For Arkhaven and new Legend video updates, subscribe to the new Arkhaven telegram channel.

You Are the Bad Guys

David Brooks attempts to warn his fellow “class” that a reckoning for their irresponsible and self-serving misrule is historically inevitable.

I ask you to try on a vantage point in which we anti-Trumpers are not the eternal good guys. In fact, we’re the bad guys.

This story begins in the 1960s, when high school grads had to go off to fight in Vietnam but the children of the educated class got college deferments. It continues in the 1970s, when the authorities imposed busing on working-class areas in Boston but not on the upscale communities like Wellesley where they themselves lived.

The ideal that we’re all in this together was replaced with the reality that the educated class lives in a world up here and everybody else is forced into a world down there. Members of our class are always publicly speaking out for the marginalized, but somehow we always end up building systems that serve ourselves.

The most important of those systems is the modern meritocracy. We built an entire social order that sorts and excludes people on the basis of the quality that we possess most: academic achievement. Highly educated parents go to elite schools, marry each other, work at high-paying professional jobs and pour enormous resources into our children, who get into the same elite schools, marry each other and pass their exclusive class privileges down from generation to generation.

Daniel Markovits summarized years of research in his book “The Meritocracy Trap”: “Today, middle-class children lose out to the rich children at school, and middle-class adults lose out to elite graduates at work. Meritocracy blocks the middle class from opportunity. Then it blames those who lose a competition for income and status that, even when everyone plays by the rules, only the rich can win.”

The meritocracy isn’t only a system of exclusion; it’s an ethos. During his presidency, Barack Obama used the word “smart” in the context of his policies over 900 times. The implication was that anybody who disagreed with his policies (and perhaps didn’t go to Harvard Law) must be stupid.

Over the last decades, we’ve taken over whole professions and locked everybody else out….

It’s easy to understand why people in less-educated classes would conclude that they are under economic, political, cultural and moral assault — and why they’ve rallied around Trump as their best warrior against the educated class. He understood that it’s not the entrepreneurs who seem most threatening to workers; it’s the professional class. Trump understood that there was great demand for a leader who would stick his thumb in our eyes on a daily basis and reject the whole epistemic regime that we rode in on.

If distrustful populism is your basic worldview, the Trump indictments seem like just another skirmish in the class war between the professionals and the workers, another assault by a bunch of coastal lawyers who want to take down the man who most aggressively stands up to them. Of course, the indictments don’t cause Trump supporters to abandon him. They cause them to become more fiercely loyal. That’s the polling story of the last six months…

But there’s a larger context here. As the sociologist E. Digby Baltzell wrote decades ago, “History is a graveyard of classes which have preferred caste privileges to leadership.” That is the destiny our class is now flirting with.

On Anti-Trumpers and the Modern Meritocracy, David Brooks, 3 August 2023

The “educated class” advantaged by “meritocracy”, as Brooks mendaciously describes his fellow corrupt, ethnocentric nepotists who are neither as educated nor as smart nor as accomplished as they believe themselves to be, is rightly getting worried. Not being aristocrats or empire-builders, they never understood the absolute necessity of noblesse oblige or serving as positive role models for their social inferiors. They were never capable of nor interested in leadership; they lacked any vision beyond pure hedonism supported by slaves. And they failed to comprehend the obvious fact that the flea which outgrows the dog upon which it lives cannot survive.

Their rapacious greed has damned and doomed them. So they had better enjoy their caste privileges while those privileges last, because the reckoning is absolutely inevitable.

A Failure of Leadership

The Pacific-12 conference, first founded in 1915 as the Pacific Coast Conference, is pining for the fjords.

“The Big 12 Board of Directors has voted unanimously to admit Arizona State University, University of Arizona and University of Utah to the Big 12 Conference,” commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement.

The Pac-12 Conference really has no one to blame but themselves.

Former commissioner Larry Scott once had an opportunity to add the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners, but declined. He also had an opportunity to partner with ESPN with the failing Pac-12 Network, but declined.

The windows of opportunity don’t ever remain open for long. Good leadership understands that. Mediocre leadership never does anything because it fears making a mistake, which ironically, often turns out to be a mistake.

On Advice from Failure

I posted the following on Gab yesterday.

  • Don’t take marital advice from a divorced man.
  • Don’t take financial advice from a bankrupt man.
  • Don’t take moral advice from a godless man.
  • And don’t take any advice at all from a vaccinated man.

The response was highly positive, for the most part, but there was a persistent theme of yeahbuttery that merits an additional round. Some examples:

  • This is true, unless they (the ones giving advice) acknowledge the fact that they are a negative example, and are urging others not to make the same mistakes they did.
  • I disagree with this nonsense 100% and here is why: I want to win. I want us to win. We aren’t going to if we’re so narrow-minded to shun anyone we view as less than perfect. People male mistakes. Divorces happen. People fall on hard financial times. Not being on the same team (religion) does not make someone “less” or evil. Has it occurred to any one of you that this is why we’re getting our shit pushed in by these scumbags? We’re being dismantled brick by brick completely unimpeded. Dissention is being silenced. Political opponents are being destroyed. Why do you think that is? Because we’re divided and they’re not. They’re all in lockstep with one another for a common goal: our complete replacement. We’re being removed from every meaningful aspect of society while we are still expected to pay for everything. They are ignoring their differences while we are continuing to be bullheaded and stubborn and settling into different factions. Maybe…just maybe listening to someone who walked a different path and had experiences different from yours who share the same goals as you may not be the worst idea. You might learn something
  • That’s only good advice on the surface. You can learn what not to do from a divorced man. You can better understand business and economics by learning why he went bankrupt. There’s no such thing as a godless man*, so I’ll skip this one. I learned that I was right about the “vaccine” from watching the vaccinated suffer and die. *Godless men, and women, just pretend that Big Brother government can do whatever God can do. They believe in the wrong god.
  • I would think marital advice from a divorced man would be the best, honest advice anyone could get.
  • However, you can learn from them not to do what they did.
  • Most of the advice any of them would give will primarily tell you what NOT to do. Could be valuable.

In light of these retarderies, I repeat, clarify, and expand upon my previous statement.

NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM FAILURES.

This does not mean you cannot learn from the negative examples they have set. By all means, learn through observation and intelligent analyses. The problem with the advice from failures is that it will reliably be bad and self-serving even if they claim to have “learned from their mistakes”. Especially if they claim to have “learned from their mistakes”!

People always seek to justify their past actions and decisions. ALWAYS. So even when a failure admits to you that he made a mistake, he will usually attempt to convince you that the mistake was justified by his situation at the time, or that it was really a good thing, or that it really wasn’t a mistake in the end. His primary interest is convincing you that his failure was justified, not in helping you avoid making the same mistake in the future.

In fact, “you would have done the same if you were in my shoes” is the most oft-heard “advice” from those who have supposedly “learned from their mistakes”. Failures absolutely love to set themselves up as experts in the very fields in which they have failed, because it gives them the opportunity to talk about themselves in addition to justifying their past actions. There is a reason for the aphorism: “those who can’t do, teach”.

The most important thing is to recognize that you don’t need their advice in order to profit from their negative example. Observe them, yes. But don’t listen to them. Instead, listen to successful individuals about their past failures, because every successful individual has failed many times in the past. And unlike the failures, successful people usually know the difference between what works and what doesn’t work.
