Mailvox: Coming Home with a Vengeance

The Covid chickens are coming home, apparently.

So I had to wait more than two years to go back to Australia to visit my family. I moved to Europe over a decade ago. I refused to get the Fauci Ouchi and caused a lot of grief with my family and friends who kept insisting “it´s just a vaccine”. My reply was Thalidomide was “just a morning sickness pill”.

So finally I am allowed back into Australia and go to a wedding which has now turned into a superspreader event. I was going to go the the cinema with friends of my parents who are all old, so I did a courtesy test 3 days after the wedding. It was a very, very bright red positive. I got PCR confirmed and continued to have zero symptoms. I had a bit of a headache which could possibly be just due to my jet lag. I had the urge to have hot showers for about 1 day as well.

My friend, who implemented a vaccine mandate at his job and actually fired 3 people because they refused, was also in attendance, and has since come down with a pretty bad case of it. I warned him not to get boostered or get any kind of clot shot and he called me a “conspiracy theorist”.

The thing is, calling someone a conspiracy theorist doesn’t somehow magically negate the observed existence of the conspiracy. Conspiracies are not ontological; they exist or not independent of anyone’s belief, or disbelief, in them.

It will be informative to learn how many more people have to die of “suddenly” before the inevitable Narrative Whiplash occurs and everyone suddenly knew all along that the global depopulationists were going to use a vaccine to kill large numbers of people, pretty much exactly as the X-Files and various other books, films, and TV shows suggested they would.

Classic narrative whiplash… As the war started Putin said that America and NATO are using Ukraine to try to destroy Russian power and bring their regime change project, so widespread in Eurasia for 30 years, to Moscow. And our Ministry of Truth — official government statements amplifed by the BBC, CNN, New York Times, Guardian et al — said ‘Nonsense anybody who believes this is a Putin Apologist’? And now? Now, Putin’s claim is Official Truth briefed out by the White House and No10 and if you don’t agree with using Ukraine to destroy Russian power and bring regime change to Moscow … ‘you’re a Putin apologist’! Another good example of the narrative whiplash we saw on covid as Official Truth switches 180 degrees and mainstream media instantly turns without reflection.

They Called Their Shot

It doesn’t really matter if the satanic elite of Clown World are divinely bound to announce their intentions or if they are simply narcissistic psychopaths who revel more in the knowledge that they are getting away with their wicked deeds than they do in the deeds themselves, the simple fact of the matter is that they do announce their future intentions, albeit always in a manner that provides them with plausible deniability both before and after the fact.

This X-Files episode is not an accident. This is not an astonishing coincidence. This is how, and why, it is relatively easy to interpret current events utilizing well-informed conspiracy analysis. Even when this episode was first broadcast, I immediately noticed the expositional clumsiness and contemplated the possibility that it was blown cover as cover, although I must admit that I forgot about it as time passed. But it was not the only such announcement. This habitual revelation under the cloak of fiction is another reason why anyone who submitted to the vaccine – which I will remind you was relentlessly pushed by international corporations and global depopulationists – was not only blitheringly stupid, but required almost wilful ignorance to do so.

We were warned. We were repeatedly warned. And I can assure you, it vastly amused the wicked of Clown World to see how many of us flat-out refused to believe their repeated warnings. The truth really is out there.

THE MISSIONARIES: A Review

If you’re not a Castalia Library subscriber and you’re contemplating the possibility of dipping your toe into deluxe book collecting, THE MISSIONARIES is an excellent place to start. There is a reason we chose it as the first book in the Castalia Library.

The Dark Herald discusses the Owen Stanley book on the Arkhaven blog:

The Missionaries takes place on Elephant Island. An Australian protectorate that Australia wants off the books. The Island is going to be Independent whether they like it or not. The Moroks who inhabit Elephant Island would have been surprised to hear that anyone besides them owned it in the first place.

“Roaring” Roger Fletcher is the Australian Royal Magistrate in name. And the local king in function. The native Morok peoples are convinced that he is the incarnation of their chief god Takime. He lives rough as he wishes and enjoys the Morok’s love and respect, as well as their roast pork and their svelte women. He carefully manages local disputes using trial by combat as a way to keep murder, rape, and cannibalism within acceptable limits.

The Moroks have their own culture and are rather fond of it.

Laripa was distinguished among the settlements of the Moroks by the presence the greatest orator Malek; the greatest sorcerer Macardit; and the greatest philosopher, Garang, a twisted, hairless little man with a squint. It was thus a kind of Florence or Paris, a cultural center where the aspiring young intellectual of the Moroks came to learn the secrets of their fathers, and, more hidden still, the dark revelations of the Before-Men who, led by Tikame himself, had roamed the mountains when Time itself was not.

The problem is that the UN has decided that they won’t be allowed to keep it. Fletcher’s opponent Doctor Prout, is a sociologist who has been given an ounce of power by a UN Special Commission. I can’t think of a more terrifying combination.

This story is skillfully constructed. The tone is consistent and builds steadily to a climax that I didn’t quite predict. That’s good because there’s nothing worse than an ending you saw coming all along.

There is an organic mixture of poetic description that paints a vivid and flourishing portrait of life on Elephant Island, that is ably counterbalanced by its larger-than-life characters. As well some lower-than-life characters. In my time I’ve known people like all of them. If you’ve lived a quiet life, allow me to assure you, these are all real people.

The work is consistently toned and beautifully written with prose that made me remember what a sweltering island jungle smelled like after an afternoon storm.

Years ago, the reporter Amanda Robb asked, prior to her interview of me, which Castalia House book she should read to best understand what made us different than all the other publishing houses. I told her to read THE MISSIONARIES. When we subsequently talked, I asked her what she thought of it. She said it was the most disturbing and most racist book she had ever read. She also said that she couldn’t put it down, that it kept making her laugh out loud, and now she hated herself for it.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a sign of a novel that is not merely good, but great, with substantive commentary on the human condition.

Arktoons recently celebrated its one year anniversary and passed 7,000,000 views. We continually refine the processes we’ve developed to create the various series that run each week. If you have at least five hours per week, and can help in one of the following roles, then email ArkhavenComics-at-outlook-dot-com

Transcribers – no software needed – you transcribe stories into a .txt document so the letterers can copy/paste it. This halves the time it takes to letter a page, so it can be incredibly useful.

Letterers – requires Adobe Illustrator – you make text, such as captions or speech bubbles, for the frames that have already been made. This is a critical role.

Frame Creators – requires Gimp or Photoshop – you take pages of art and create individual frames of ongoing series such as Avalon, Rebel Dead Revenge, and restoration projects like Gorgo or Classic Bible Tales.

Repairs – requires any program that can edit/save .psd files – you will be sent specific frames to fix. This often entails removing speech bubbles on a flattened image, but can include any other situation where
we need to repair the art of a frame.

Restoration processor – requires Linux and the ability to install packages – we recently discovered a means of automatically processing a page to strip away many of the artifacts we encounter due to them being saved as .jpgs. We need someone to install a number of Linux packages and run a script to bulk process multiple pages of a number of comics. This will speed up our ability to fix pages a great deal.

Thank you!

A Rare Confluence

In which, for once, I actually agree with the Andrew Anglin Committee:

Here is a simple outline of what I’ve argued over and over again regarding the overarching picture of the current situation:

• There is a long-running plan for a global “scientific dictatorship” that was more or less solidified in the 1970s when they first started pushing the environmentalist flapdoodle.

• In the 1970s, the people planning this did not believe that China was a threat at all, because they basically thought Chinamen were backward autistic morons.

• In the 1990s, Western industry was moved to China, creating massive wealth in China, and everyone just assumed that these small-eyed people they thought were autistic morons would be turned into gay retards by a little bit of economic success.

• In the late 00s and early 10s, it became clear that China was not interested in being a part of the globalist project – they were just going to keep the money and do their own thing, which is a kind of merchant empire that is not dependent on the interdependence of the Western globalist order.

• By this time, no one running elite organizations in the West was capable of recalibrating the agenda based on the predictions about China being proved wrong.

• The elite are pushing forward with the agenda as it was laid out before China’s current direction was clear.

I don’t think this is really that complicated, but a lot of people seem to not understand what I am saying. I have no desire or ability to force anyone to agree with me, but if they’re going to disagree, they should put forward a response to what I’ve said and a countertheory on why it appears that the West is totally destroying itself in a program that is going to leave the Chinese ruling the world.

The Status of the Globalist Agenda Has Been Escalated from “Confused” to “Chaotic”, 4 June 2022

I tend to agree with these observations. As I’ve pointed out previously, the high-performance, low-trust population that tends to dominate the globalist elite of Clown World has been dealing with high-performance, high-trust European populations for centuries and is accustomed to manipulating them with astonishing ease using nothing more than credit and rhetoric. The modern Chinese, however, have proven to be an unexpectedly high-performance, low-trust population, and they have the additional benefit of political leadership from very intelligent men of principle like Xi Xinping and intellectual leadership from brilliant intellectuals like Wang Hunin.

This was, very understandably in light of well-documented Chinese history, not even remotely anticipated by anyone, least of all by the planners of the globalist elite. There was absolutely no reason to expect that the Chinese wouldn’t fall headlong into Clown World every bit as quickly and completely as they were taken in by Marxist-Leninism.

Nor was the rise of Russia from the ashes of the much-plundered Soviet Union expected. And now, here we are, with the short-sighted, unimaginative posterity of the founders of Clown World attempting to blindly implement the plans made by their wicked, but more intelligent predecessors despite the fact that their evil plans no longer accord with reality.

Remember, it isn’t just the native populations of the West that have been materially dumbed-down. The globalist elite has also been affected by their own self-destructive policies, and their degradation has been exacerbated by their determination to silence everyone who tells them anything they don’t want to hear.

And just in case you weren’t convinced that Clown World is being ruled by retards.

The United States is involved in “extremely active” discussions with European countries aimed at limiting the revenues Russia can generate from selling oil without interrupting supplies, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

Did it seriously not occur to anyone that a) Europe needed Russia’s oil more than Russia needed revenue from selling oil to Europe, and, b) there is no shortage of other buyers of Russian oil?

Also, about that….

European companies have almost doubled their shipments of Russian oil since the start of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, despite desperate efforts by EU leaders to squeeze the Kremlin war machine by blocking Russia’s exports from global markets.

SJWs Discover Unintended Consequences

Academic SJWs at Stanford are alarmed to discover that when individuals are deplatformed from mainstream platforms, they build their own platforms and become even stronger. Naturally, their response to this is not to conclude that individuals should not be deplatformed, but rather that the platforms should be themselves deplatformed.

Previous research has found that deplatforming toxic users tends to decrease overall reach and income for content producers. However, while deplatforming users, apps, and companies on mainstream platforms may have resulted in a less toxic ecosystem and prevented the spread of hateful messaging on those platforms, it also helped materially preserve Gab as a platform and financially enriched its owners.

Our findings document several unintended real-world side effects of the deplatforming of both users and platforms, raising the possibility that other interventions on mainstream platforms such as downranking and limiting visibility might curb toxic content more effectively than shifting the problem elsewhere. If deplatforming is deemed the most desirable solution for a given scenario, it may be that this deplatforming would need to be more thorough and widespread to be effective. Hence, more study is needed in several areas:

• What dynamics and characteristics determine whether deplatforming is effective in reducing toxic message spread across the social media ecosystem as a whole?

• What is the real-world net effect of attempting to deplatform platforms or apps themselves, versus merely disabling or moderating user accounts on mainstream platforms?

• What determines whether a deplatforming will result in continued or increased revenue for its targets and associated communities?

• Beyond deplatforming toxic individuals and services, are further actions possible (or desirable) to ensure that revenue does not flow to toxic venues?

For example, payment processors have already cut ties with Gab—is there more that could be done to disrupt other financial flows? Answering these questions may prove crucial to developing more holistically effective Trust and Safety practices at the platform, infrastructure, and regulatory levels.

Gabufacturing Dissent: An in-depth analysis of Gab, David Thiel and Miles McCain, Stanford Internet Observatory, June 1, 2022

The eventual recommendation of the academics is obviously going to be putting pressure on hosting services, payment systems, the media, and even governments to deplatform and otherwise attempt to silence those who have been designated Toxic Content Producers, because the reduced interest in the mainstream-approved content, the inability of the mainstream platforms to produce profits, and the exposure of massive amounts of platform fraud, are making the alternative platforms increasingly competitive with their mainstream counterparts.

Of course, pursuing this course of action is eventually going to lead these academic SJWs to discover the same bitter reality that has recently dismayed the politicians of Clown World: while Toxic Content Producers are being deplatformed by Clown World, Clown World is itself being deplatformed by Toxic Content World, which happens to make up the vast majority of the planet and controls the vast majority of its resources.

The biggest winners of the Content Wars are going to be those who are able to successfully bridge The Great Bifurcation of the two semi-global economies, and the battle-hardening of those who have been repeatedly deplatformed, dehosted, and demonetized is going to give a massive advantage to the Toxic Content Producers.

The Ride Never Ends.

Has World War Clown Gone Global?

If this reported statement by the Chinese ambassador is true, then China has confirmed its intention to enter the war on the side of Russia and the Sovereign World.

“We must put an end once and for all to the hegemony of the United States, with its eternal desire to interfere in the affairs of sovereign states.”

Zhang Hanhui, Chinese Ambassador to Russia

I’m dubious about the legitimacy of this purported statement by the ambassador, as I have been unable to confirm it from any reliable Chinese sources. But it isn’t too terribly different from a genuine, and confirmed, statement from the Foreign Ministry.

Coercive diplomacy starts with the US. It is nobody else but the US that invented, patented and owns the intellectual property right of “coercive diplomacy”. In 1971, US scholar Alexander George coined the concept of “coercive diplomacy” to describe the US policy on Laos, Cuba and Vietnam. For years, from military threats to political isolation, from economic sanctions to technological blockade, the US has shown the world what “coercive diplomacy” is through what it has done. Some Chinese netizens have put it this way — to know what “coercive diplomacy” entails, just check what the US has done.

The US keeps talking about dealing with other countries from a position of strength. This, in effect, means whoever has a bigger fist calls the shots. Isn’t this “coercive diplomacy”? The US spared no effort to crack down on China’s Huawei, France’s Alstom and Japan’s Toshiba and coerced the TSMC, Samsung and other companies to provide to the US chip supply chain data. Isn’t this “coercive diplomacy”? The US forced countries to take sides in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and wantonly threatened to impose unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. Isn’t this “coercive diplomacy”? After China and Solomon Islands signed the security cooperation agreement on the basis on mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, the US immediately sent officials to South Pacific island countries in an attempt to exert pressure on them and intimidate them to stop them from having normal cooperation with China. Isn’t this “coercive diplomacy”?

Secretary Blinken said that “all countries will be free to chart their own paths without coercion”. For that to happen, the US must first and foremost change its old habit of pursuing “coercive diplomacy”, stop interfering in the internal affairs of others, stop forcing countries to pick sides, stop abusing unilateral sanctions and stop hobbling hi-tech companies of other countries. China is ready to work with all countries upholding justice to stand against various coercive behaviors in the world. 

Zhao Lijian, Foreign Ministry, 6 June 2022

The expansion of the conflict from Ukraine to the USA appears to be locked in now. One hopes that the Lords of Clown World will have the wisdom to surrender instead of waging a brutal war that can only end in defeat and suicides in their New Zealand bunkers.

No Confidence in Bozo

Given that Boris Johnson appears to be as shameless as he is sexually incontinent, it is unlikely that he will resign even after having been caught lying to his party, his nation, and the British Parliament regarding what the British media calls Partygate. But it will be interesting to see how many Conservative MPs have had enough of his buffoonish imitation of a cartoon Churchill, although given the fecklessness of the Labour Party leadership and the absence of any creditable alternatives besides Jacob Rees-Mogg, one would expect him to survive the vote.

Boris Johnson is facing a dramatic vote of no confidence today as rebel Tory MPs chose their moment to strike.

Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee, confirmed this morning that he has now received the 54 letters from Conservative MPs needed to trigger a vote. The secret ballot, which will take place at Westminster today between 6pm and 8pm, raises the possibility that Mr Johnson’s tenure could come to a crashing end less than three years after he won a stunning 80-strong Commons majority.

It comes after a steady stream of Tory MPs called publicly for the Prime Minister to stand down in the wake of Sue Gray’s report into illegal Covid parties in No 10 and Whitehall. In order to oust the Prime Minister however the rebels will need 180 MPs, and allies of Mr Johnson – including members of the Cabinet – have made clear he is determined to fight to stay on.

Besides Rees-Mogg, who is unfortunately every bit as clueless about World War Clown as Johnson, Dominick Cummings is about the only first-class political mind in the UK these days, but he’s even more hated by the media and even less likely to ever be elected Prime Minister than I am. He was, however, certainly right about the prospects for the Johnson administration last fall.

Reminder… Last autumn pundits were telling you to prepare for a decade of ‘unassailable Boris’ who had sorted out No10 with ‘grownups’ and ‘gripped’ Whitehall, his relationship with the Chancellor was solid, breaking the ‘no income tax’ guarantee was ‘popular’(!), and Boris had nothing to fear from the old Vote Leave team.

I told you No10 was a shitshow, would collapse in chaos, the PM and Chancellor relationship was broken, the tax increases would be a policy and political disaster particularly given the looming cost of living nightmare, and I said — I’ve sold all my shares, prepare for supply chain meltdown, Putin whacking Europe including over energy, energy spikes, and financial market chaos.

Boris is happy to escalate because he thinks the more MPs think about war the less likely they bin him before July and if he makes it to August he has a good shot at surviving to the election. So he sends out the human handgrenade — my nickname for Liz Truss because she blows up all she touches — to redefine our goal as pushing Russia out of Crimea, thus setting us up for either humiliating failure or world war.

And today, he was proven correct about the timing of the vote of no confidence, as it has come more than a month before 21 July 2022. So one hopes he will post a prediction of the result before the votes come in.

I still think the letters will come in before MPs rise for summer…

UPDATE: Not looking great for Bozo. Even if he wins, as one expects he will, it may not be by enough to preserve his political viability. Most British Prime Ministers who win no-confidence votes end up resigning within months.

Theresa May faced a vote of confidence in her leadership on December 12 2018. News that the contest would take place was announced early that morning by Sir Graham Brady – then, as now, the chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee of MPs – with the ballot taking place the same day between 6pm and 8pm. By 12.16pm that day, Theresa May had got to the public backing of the 158 Tory MPs she needed to win the vote. And the Daily Mail’s deputy political editor John Stevens points out today: ‘It is now 1pm and Boris Johnson is only up to 82.’

My impression is that no one in their right mind wants to even think about going to war against the Sino-Russian alliance with Boris Johnson at the helm.

UPDATE: He needed 180, he got 211. So, he survives for now. But the 148 no-confidence votes were much higher than anticipated, and indicates that the Johnson ministry is probably nearing its end.
