They Were Always Bluffing

As I predicted, Austria is relaxing its Covid restrictions rather than enforcing its much-ballyhooed vaccine mandates:

Austria will lift most of its remaining COVID-19 restrictions by March 5, including scrapping an earlier closing time of midnight for bars and restaurants and allowing nightclubs to reopen, Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on Wednesday.

The government said the steps were being taken cautiously with daily new infections hovering below their record peak and a manageable situation in hospitals due to the smaller incidence of severe cases in the latest wave of the coronavirus, dominated by the highly contagious Omicron variant.

Most, though obviously not all, vaccine mandates were nothing more than a bluff. Remember, evil always prefers your consent through submission. Threatening consequences, but not following through on the threat, has proven to be a moderately effective way to obtain compliance among the weak-willed and weak-minded.

Learn to recognize the patterns. Pattern recognition is prediction.

As we approach 5 million views, we have also burned out a statistically significant percentage of our volunteers. So, Arktoons is once more calling for those who are interested in helping us continue to build the platform that provides an alternative to the converged institutional comics of DC/Marvel/etc. Specifically, it is the Restoration Team that requires restocking, hence this message from the Arktoons Production Editor:

Part of what we do at Arktoons is restore classic comics to allow new readers to enjoy these rarely seen gems. We’ve restored art and stories by legendary comic creators like Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Jack Kirby, Basil Wolverton, and Chuck Dixon, and re-introduced characters such as Plastic Man, Charlie Chan, and many others. We need your help to continue restoring these often overlooked classics.

If you have at least five hours a week you can spare, and can help in one of the following ways then let us know:

  • We need people with Adobe Illustrator to create new lettering. You don’t need to be experienced using Illustrator, as our processes aren’t complex once you learn how we do things.
  • If you have Photoshop you can help us in multiple ways. If you’re new to Photoshop, you can create frames. If you’re a little more experienced, you can combine the art and lettering, and those with more experience can carry out some of the technical restoration processes we employ.

If you are willing and able, and wish to join the front ranks of the culture war, email: ArkhavenComics@outlook.com

The Arktoons Dev Team is also working hard on some important new features that will be of particular interest to subscribers that we expect to release before our first anniversary in April.

Expected Mortality 2022

They’re not saying it’s the jab, but it’s the jab.

Summation of Major Insurance company corporate group policy Loss Ratios (Death Claims) Q4 rate vs 2019 rate:

Unum $UNM +36%
Lincoln $LNC +57%
Pru $PRU +41%$RGA +21%
Hartford $HIG +32%
MetLife $MET +24%

In a meeting between the various leaders of the insurance industry, they discussed what they’re all seeing on the ground and how to proceed.

“Additionally, they did something interesting,” Dowd continued. “They did a reinsurance deal for a high face amount individual policies, at what looked like very bad economics for them. On the conference call a Southside analyst was very confused. He said, ‘Why would you do this deal?’

“I can speculate why they did this deal. This deal looks bad now, but a year or two from now it may look like a genius move. And they actually think there’s going to be 300,000 excess deaths due to — they call it ‘Covid and indirect Covid,’ whatever that means — in the U.S. in 2022. So they actually raised their expectations for mortality in the U.S. during the conference call.

“So they’re not saying it’s the jab, but it’s the jab.”

Clearly, it is the jab. The insurance companies may not be willing to say it out loud, but they’re preparing for it behind the scenes. That bodes ill for those who have been jabbed and are starting to realize things aren’t like they’re being told.

To be honest, if it’s only 300k excess deaths due to the vaxxes in the USA, that will be a little better than I was anticipating.

Portrait of a Promethean

This socialite is the sort of individual in whose garden one would dread to dig. Note the customary link to the world of money as well as the charity circuit.

A Connecticut socialite has pleaded guilty to inappropriately filming minors as part of a mysterious plea deal in which other more serious child sex abuse charges were dropped.

Hadley Palmer, 53, is a mother-of-four, financier’s wife and the daughter of a wealthy hedge fund founder. She lives in Belle Haven, Connecticut, in a $10million home and has four kids with her estranged husband Bradley.

Palmer is a regular on the Connecticut social scene and is regularly photographed at charity events but in October last year, she was arrested on charges of felony voyeurism, felony invasion of privacy and felony causing injury to a child. More serious charges of employing a minor in an obscene performance, a Class A felony, and possession of child pornography, were on the table.

The case has only just been brought to light by matter of the plea deal – one of the only publicly available documents in the case. It was reported by The Associated Press – which has been fighting to make the story public – on Monday.

After her arrest in October, Palmer filed an application for a special probation program known as ‘accelerated rehabilitation’ which immediately sealed the file…. Legal experts tell the Associated Press – whose reporters opposed the seal – that it was a highly unusual move for her file to be sealed immediately and many say she did not even qualify for accelerated rehabilitation. They are demanding to know why she has been able to hide from public view, when other defendants have not.

This is what post-Christian societies look like. There is one law for the wicked and another for those upon whom they prey. When you see people who are not being held accountable for their confirmed crimes, and when you see their punishments are excessively light to the point of being absurd, then you can be certain that it is a member of the Promethean cult that has been exposed.

It’s a Hell World After All

If you’re not regularly reading the Arkhaven Comics blog, you really should. Among other things, it’s got smarter and more frightening horror than anything you’ll find coming out of the Hellmouth.

Disney Exec: Your next title is a comic book that is really just an advertisement for the Star Wars Galactic Cruiser. You have to show how fun it will be for kids.

Marvel Comic Book Writer: I’ll die first. I’ll commit suicide before I write that thing.

Disney Exec: Not a good idea once you’ve signed a contract with Disney. It’s not like we’ll let you go even if you’re dead. Did you know that all the dolls in the It’s A Small World Ride regularly have to have their hair trimmed?* There’s a reason for that.

Marvel Comic Book Writer: Oh, my Go…

Disney Exec: DO. NOT. SPEAK. HIS. NAME. That is also in the contract you signed willingly and of your own free will.

Who ever suspected that regular coverage of the Devil Mouse business could be so entertaining? Ironically, it’s even more entertaining than any of the Devil Mouse’s purported entertainment products.

RIP PJ

PJ O’Rourke, the funniest American political commentator since H.L. Mencken, and one of my youthful intellectual influences, has died at the age of 74. Requiescat in pace.

American satirist and political commentator, P.J. O’Rourke, has died of lung cancer at his home in Sharon, New Hampshire aged 74. He wrote more than 20 books and was best known for his two best-sellers: ‘A Parliament of Whores’ and ‘Give War a Chance’, which reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.

His last book ‘A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land’ was published in September 2020 and contained a number of essays on topics ranging from history to the political effects of social media and the ‘internet of things’.

Writing up to the the very end is a good way to go for a writer. Holidays in Hell was my favorite of his works, but most of his books were more than a little amusing. Some of his best quotes:

  • “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
  • “If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.”
  • “When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”
  • “Authority has always attracted the lowest elements in the human race. All through history, mankind has been bullied by scum. Those who lord it over their fellows and toss commands in every direction and would boss the grass in the meadow about which way to bend in the wind are the most depraved kind of prostitutes. They will submit to any indignity, perform any vile act, do anything to achieve power.”
  • “The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns.”
  • “No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal”
  • “God created a free universe. He could have created any kind of universe he wanted. But a universe without freedom would have been static and meaningless — the taxpayer-funded-art-in-public-places universe.”
  • “You can’t get good Chinese takeout in China and Cuban cigars are rationed in Cuba. That’s all you need to know about communism.”
  • “Foreigners may pretend otherwise, but if English is spoken loudly enough, anyone can understand it.“

The Tribe of Gamma

They simply can’t help themselves. This was one comment thread sparked by one of my posts on Gab. Notice how the gamma adroitly made himself the subject while striking a superior pose and proactively defending himself without even touching upon the actual subject.

Stop crying about how “they’re trying to divide us,” Boomers. They ALREADY divided the USA in 1965 with the Naturalization Act. Now nearly half of all US citizens are not Americans in any meaningful sense of the word. There is no united “we” anymore. So find your tribe and defend it. Because everyone else already is.

My tribe is nerds who have above average IQ and who are curious and who enjoying sharing what they’ve learned. My tribe has different colors. Nerd chicks are most welcome. We don’t care how pretty you are or how much money you have. The funny thing is most people don’t wanna join this tribe. They don’t feel comfortable among us. People tend to mingle with people of their same IQ level.

Yes, I know your tribe. And I, like many people, cannot stand your annoying, posturing, self-overrated little tribe. If you’d all simply focus on the actual learning rather than on constantly trying to share what you think you’ve learned with people who have never shown a scintilla of interest in it, the rest of us might not dislike your tribe so much.

Yeah, well, nerds have more fun. And that‘s cuz we’re not carrying around too much baggage of self-consciousness. Speaking of self-consciousness, you sound kinda angry. Or are you just hangry and need a snack?

But you don’t have more fun. You’re all desperately posturing and showing off your knowledge of useless trivia non-stop in the futile hope that one day, a woman will let you talk at her without turning away from you in disgust.

UPDATE: It just gets more amusing and tragic than you would have imagined.

We found things that are more interesting than sex. Ironically, we’re good in bed and that’s cuz we like to read instruction manuals.

The Recurring Evils

The Empire That Never Ended has several recurring evils that help identify its influence in the dead societies of the past, including child sacrifice:

Six mummified children thought to have been sacrificed hundreds of years ago, apparently to accompany a dead nobleman to the afterlife, have been unearthed in a tomb near Lima, archaeologists reported.

The tiny skeletons, wrapped tightly in cloth, were found in the grave of an important man, possibly a political figure, discovered last November at the dig site of Cajamarquilla about 24 kilometers (15 miles) east of Lima.

“The children could be close relatives and were placed… in different parts of the entrance of the tomb of the (nobleman’s) mummy, one on top of the other,” archaeologist Pieter Van Dalen, in charge of the dig, told AFP.

“The children, according to our working hypothesis, would have been sacrificed to accompany the mummy to the underworld,” says Van Dalen.

AC makes an important observation of the archeological discovery. What are the odds that so many distinct societies, separated by time, place, genetics, culture, and language, would reach precisely the same conclusion again and again?

All over the world, across great time frames, different cultures, with different people, who spoke different languages, on different continents, isolated from each other, all came to the conclusion that murdering an innocent child, sometimes with a knife, or sometimes by throwing them into fire, or sometimes another brutal means, and always something which would have to be horrifically traumatic to do, would give them some advantage. It doesn’t feel like chance.

This is what the current anti-Christian rulers of the West are working towards. This is what they have already been doing for years in secret places in the shadows. This is what they hope to institutionalize and practice openly in public. The evil is real and the darkness is rising.
