A bold statement

“We’re gonna take back the Senate, take back the House, we’re gonna take back the White House – and sooner than you think. It’s going to be really something special.” 

– Donald Trump, June 5, 2021



The imaginary Mr. X

I tend to doubt this purported “Mr. X” actually exists. He reads more like a literary device than an actual person of import. That being said, literally everything that is reported to have come out of his mouth on economics and money appears to be much more accurate than not, from my perspective:

“You have to understand that Obama, Trump or Biden report to the same ‘number one,’ and they have no say on any important issue.

“Number one” was formerly OSS (Office of Strategic Services) with William J. Casey under Wild Bill Donovan (creator of OSS) and later CIA.  He married a super-rich lady and ran a prosperous industry.  Number one said that they were not going to stop the currency rigging that was destroying our industries as we were number one in the world and could afford it.  And Wall Street wanted to make money out of it who were rigging the markets through cash settlement to this day.  Number one also controls the Congress and the Supreme Court and I am quite familiar on how these leading wonders were groomed.  They essentially are picked because they can be controlled by past corruption and they have the goods on them.

“The CIA doctored the boarding tapes of Islamic people boarding planes in Boston and blamed 9-11 on a failed former CIA asset named Osama bin Laden who had nothing to do with it and then decided to detonate Building Number 7 since the necessary misdirection was supplied by the doctored boarding tapes. Then there was reason to send the army to Afghanistan, bin Laden’s lair, to take over the heroin/poppy trade there.  Trump wanted out of Afghanistan and that was why the Deep State had to engineer an election against him.  Trump had tapes showing this ruse and could have released them, to win the election.  For unexplained reasons, the tapes weren’t disclosed publicly.”

Balance of trade

“I had recommended to Donald how to cure the trade deficit in one step.  That step mean we would counter-rig the currencies who had trade surpluses with us as our allies had rigged their currencies against us by depreciating them.  We would buy the currencies of all trade surplus countries with the US raising their value so our nation would not buy their products to end the trade deficit and create a surplus to pay off 14 trillion of our net-deficit- position in the world.”

“You do not need tariffs to stop the trade deficit you just realign the currencies.  We just counter-rig by buying their currencies.  I guarantee you it will work, for if necessary, we would put the Euro to 3 dollars per euro.  We would buy nothing.  And that would end NATO.  Fine.”

Bitcoin

“When the Bitcoin people came to me for my support for their coins, I said if you make them redeemable in gold, and you continue with an unchangeable finite amount of gold backing each coin, and that gold is in a secure place, then you will replace the world currencies if US military allows you to do so.  Otherwise, I have no interest in your phony currency.”

China vs. USA

“China is a unified country.  Everyone is Chinese.  The United States is a Balkanized country where everyone is at each-others’ throats.  We saw that when hundreds of cities burned last summer but the roots were quite apparent without such a demonstration if we look at the demographic characteristics of the historical rising crime waves that are out of control in the US.   The black male rape attacks on white women are so bad that Obama had the series stopped.”

“We need not run the gamut of comparisons with China as the proportions are about the same in all product lines.  Our analysis is that the GDP of China is about double that of the US in real terms.  China is the greatest industrial power in the world dwarfing the EU and the United States.  China has returned to its original status of world leader in 1400 AD.  … Today we calculate the Chinese GDP at about 40 trillion dollars a year.   Their steel production is above a trillion tons a year against ours which is less than 100 billion.  Their motor vehicle production is 27 million cars a year and ours 11 million a year in 2017.   And I could go on and on.”

We know the GDP is fake. I proved that beyond any shadow of a possible doubt back in 2009, in the No One Knows Anything chapter of The Return of the Great Depression, when I showed that the margin of publicly reported errors is consistently greater than the difference between economic growth and economic contraction.

Now, consider the possibility that the real economy of China is twice the size of the US economy. This might go a very long way to explaining the strange geopolitical developments of the last two years, as well as why the USA and the rest of the West is obviously backing away from their decades-old promises to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

SEASONS Episode 6: Invisible

CHUCK DIXON PRESENTS: COMEDY Episode 6: Popskull Gets Awful Modern
And for those who wonder why we bother with comics, and ask why we don’t focus entirely on writing thoughtful essays on important subjects for serious people, consider the following anecdote from a reader which was inspired by the revelations about the egregious Soviet influence in the USA during WWII documented copiously in Stalin’s War.
I am reminded of an uncle’s tale of comic books in 1940. He said that there was a Finn Winter War comic book series that he, brothers and friends had been following. They read it as they could, in the drugstore. One day a truck came and collected all the comics that cheered on the Finns. A week later, new comic books were delivered, and the Soviets were the heroes instead of the villains.

JDA defeats Worldcon

Jon Del Arroz, Rislandia publisher, Arktoons contributor, and the Leading Hispanic Voice in Science Fiction, recently reached a settlement in his long-running legal dispute with Worldcon. For those of you who have no idea what that is, Worldcon is the organization of SJW science fiction fans that runs the annual convention that gives out the Hugo Awards.

Jon sent me an email to post here explaining what happened:

In early 2017, Vox Day gave me a platform on this blog to speak the truth about how the science fiction publishing and fandom communities had become nothing more than toxic, gossip-filled political arms of the extreme Satanist, globalist elites. It was the first time I’d been unpersonned by SJWs trying to target me and my family over politics and he gave me the advice: “Learn to go public. One reason they get away with it is because everyone they do it to tries to keep it quiet. You shouldn’t.”

I named names, I exposed what was going on, and made a name for myself many of you know in science fiction and comics, of which I thank the readers of VP so much for your support over the years. It hasn’t been without its trials, however, the unpersoning continued with Worldcon 76 in San Jose, who banned me because I told them I had safety concerns about being physically attacked based on death threats made to me online, and they refused to even respond about assurances of security at their convention.

They took it a step further, going to their website and social media citing they were removing “racist bullying” from their convention, libeling me, a Hispanic man who is very proud of my heritage in the process.

I followed Vox’s lead and decided to fight it with everything I had. We filed suit for defamation and have been engaged in a long court battle for nearly 4 years. Finally, WorldCon opted to settle and wrote me a formal, public apology and gave us financial compensation:

SFSFC acknowledges the importance of reputation, especially for a relatively new author, and regrets that its public statement about barring his attendance might have led people unfamiliar with Mr. Del Arroz and his work to infer that he is or was a racist. For that, SFSFC apologizes. This attendance ban was specific to the Worldcon 76 events produced by SFSFC, and Mr. Del Arroz has the same opportunity as other members of the public to register for future SFSFC events. Worldcon 76 does not tolerate discrimination in any form — including through cosplay — based on but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical/mental health conditions. SFSFC firmly believes that healthy political discourse requires active, mutual, good faith participation by members of the community with differing opinions.

Chair, Worldcon 76 in San Jose

President, San Francisco Science Fiction Conventions, Inc.

We are in dark times, but there is light and there is good. Even though it can seem overwhelming, you can fight the good fight, you can win. It isn’t easy, you can’t be low energy, and you must never concede, but know that truth will prevail. We follow the one true light of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ, and through him we will be his beacon and bring about his kingdom. It’s preordained. We have already won, and the lesson is to never be afraid of evil. Deus vult. 

The SJWs at File 770 are doing their thing, attempting to transmogrify victory into defeat for Jon. Of course, being SJWs, they would deny that Jon won anything even if the entire Worldcon leadership was personally beheaded by the presiding judge and the entire contents of their meager bank accounts were presented to him on a golden platter.

Not every victory will be fast, flawless, or result in a large financial payout. Much more often, the best that one can reasonably expect to do is a public apology, a retreat from arbitration, the return of the filing fees, or the imposition of expenses that are essentially a rounding error to a massive corporation that one wouldn’t expect to even notice. But a victory is a victory, and more importantly, these victories stack over time to send a very strong message to everyone that converged individuals and organizations cannot continue to behave in the way they have been behaving.

Consider Amazon. Even mighty Amazon had to drop its mandated arbitration policy, and it now faces three class action lawsuits because 75,000 customers brought consumer arbitrations against it. Each individual arbitration was a tiny drop in the bucket to the corporate giant, but collectively, they were enough to force Amazon to retreat and change its anti-consumer policies.


The Punisher meets Little Women

Bounding Into Comics previews SILENZIOSA, the first new Arktoons series to be introduced since the site launched in April.

Publisher Vox Day and Arktoons revealed a brand new series that will join the digital comics platform in Silenziosa. The series is written by both Day and Chuck Dixon and features artwork by Renato Rei and colors by Arklight Studios. 

An official description from a press release describes the new series.

It begins, “SILENZIOSA is a series about a Princess of the Blood, Alissabetta, the daughter of King Charles Arthur III of Inghiltar,  Yrlandia, and the Skotian Isles, who to her surprise and dismay finds herself sent by her parents to a foreign school for noble assassins.

“She is totally unsuited for the Silent Academy, as she is a sweet and gentle soul whose primary concerns tend to revolve around kittens and clothes. However, her inner steel is revealed in the unforgiving environment, which has been known to prove lethal to students and instructors alike.”

Read the whole preview and check out the artwork there. After which, you can read the first episode at Arktoons.

Stalin’s War and the Soviet-Nazi break

 An interview with the author of the highly recommended Stalin’s War:

This is what I think one of the key discoveries that I made, although a few other historians have again tried to kind of guess at this they haven’t actually seen most of the files. The final break between Hitler and Stalin prior to what we now call Operation Barbarossa occurred over Balkan questions.  

There was this summit that has long been known about in Berlin, in November 1940. This is when Molotov went to meet with Hitler and Ribbentrop, and he also met Rudolf Hess, and Himmler, and all the other leading Nazis. It turned out that in fact the Germans thought the meetings had gone relatively well. They hadn’t agreed on everything, but they thought the meetings had been friendly.

We now know from Molotov’s own real-time telegraphic communications from Stalin that he and Stalin had in fact decided to break with Hitler even before the Germans broke with them. Stalin laid down what was in effect an ultimatum. Hitler had invited the Soviet Union to join the Tripartite Pact – they had restyled the old anti-Comintern pact with Italy, Germany, and Japan – so it’s now going to be restyled and the Soviets are invited to join.

Stalin insisted as a price of joining the Tripartite Pact that the Germans withdraw all of their troops from Finland and Romania, including military advisers, that Stalin be allowed to invade Bulgaria and to station troops at the Bosporus and the Dardanelles – that is to say the Turkish Straits. He was afraid of the British, he still saw the British as the enemy.

That’s one of the other really fascinating things that you see, if you actually read the real correspondence, is that Stalin before Barbarossa, and even to some extent after it and towards the end of the war, continued to view the Anglo-Saxons, as he called them, as his enemy. As he told Matsuoka, Japan’s foreign minister in April 1941 and also in their first meeting in March, he’d never viewed the Anglo-Saxons as his friends and he did not intend to befriend them now.

Now strangely enough, they had been wary of Stalin too, but then when Hitler does make this decision to invade, in part because of this break over the Balkans, in part because of Hitler’s own ideolog,  racial obsessions about Lebensraum and cleansing room for the German settlers in the east, it’s sort of like this act of almost diplomatic magic. There’s kind of a public relations miracle. To give you an idea of what I mean, even the Roosevelt administration, which had been relatively friendly vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, in the days before Barbarossa they had been about to expel Soviet spies, including aviation spies and experts who would actually burrow deeply into the U.S. aviation sector and were scheduled for deportation, relations were about to go into a deep freeze, suddenly – poof – everything vanishes!

Stalin is a hero, his peoples, they are heroes. Secretly at first, later, a fter November 1941 openly, Roosevelt opens the spigot of Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union and lavishes vast amounts of war materiel, industrial inputs, foodstuffs, boots, uniforms, you name it, it’s all given effectively for free to the Soviet Union.

I very much recommend reading this book. The author apparently isn’t equipped to draw some of the obvious conclusions from his own observations and he doesn’t usually ask the obvious follow-on questions – for example, inquiring as to precisely which individuals in the USA were responsible for making that public relations miracle happen and how they did it – but that doesn’t lessen the importance of those well-documented observations in the slightest. 



The COVID coverup

It’s now becoming clear that COVID-19 is a man-made bioweapon that was constructed in China and funded by what appear to be rogue globalist elements inside the US government connected with the NGO billionaires like Gates and Soros:

The new report examining the behind-the-scenes battle over COVID’s origins follows new evidence to support the theory that the coronavirus pandemic may have leaked from WIV — raising questions about why the possibility wasn’t investigated more thoroughly from the outset. 
‘The story of why parts of the U.S. government were not as curious as many of us think they should have been is a hugely important one,’ David Feith, former deputy assistant secretary of state in the East Asia bureau, told Vanity Fair.
In an interview with the outlet, DiNanno describes how his probe into the lab leak theory was thwarted at every turn, with hostile and antagonistic technical staff warning him not to open ‘Pandora’s box.’
Things came to a head at a meeting on December 9, when State Department staff met to discuss what the department could or should say publicly about the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
According to people at the meeting, Christopher Park, the director of the State Department’s Biological Policy Staff in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, not to say anything that would point to the U.S. government’s own role in gain-of-function research. Park, a Trump appointee like DiNanno, had been involved in lifting a U.S. government moratorium on funding for gain-of-function research in 2017. Park was reportedly not the only one who raised concerns about the investigation ultimately raising questions about U.S. funding. 
As the group probed the lab-leak scenario and other possibilities, its members were repeatedly advised not to open a ‘Pandora’s box,’ four former State Department officials told the magazine.
The admonitions ‘smelled like a cover-up,’ said DiNanno, ‘and I wasn’t going to be part of it.’
It’s unclear exactly much U.S. government funding was going to the WIV, but at least some of it was being routed through a nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance.
By 2018, EcoHealth Alliance was pulling in up to $15 million a year in grant money from an array of federal agencies, including the Defense Department, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, according to tax filings.
EcoHealth Alliance and its founder Peter Daszak have been working with Shi Zhengli, the WIV virologist known as the ‘bat lady’, for more than 15 years. 
British-born Daszak, 55, is the president of EcoHealth Alliance — and in the early days of the pandemic, he was key in establishing the veneer of a ‘scientific consensus’ that the lab-leak origin was impossible.
Daszak not only signed but spearheaded a letter signed by 27 scientists rejecting the lab leak hypothesis, which was published on February 19, 2020 in the medical journal The Lancet.
Leaked emails later revealed that he encouraged colleagues who do gain-of-function research on coronaviruses not to sign the letter, in order to obscure the connection.
The letter declared that the scientists had ‘no competing interests’ — but it seems clear that Daszak did, as a lab leak origin would likely derail his entire field, but an animal origin would justify his life’s work.  

The next question that needs to be determined is if the plans for the creation of the not-vaccines were completed prior to the release of COVID-19. Regardless, this is already one of the worst US government crimes in history. While China is obviously involved, one should keep in mind that it is possible that the Chinese government was not the primary party responsible, given the amount of US government money that was secretly funneled to Wuhan through the US nonprofit.

It is a product of the bioweapons program of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government, the network of which includes not only the CCP scientists but also certain overseas scientists and organizations.

– Dr. Li-Meng Ya

And apparently, this wouldn’t be the first time a leak from a Chinese bioweapons lab killed people around the world:

In 1977 a flu broke out in northeast China which eventually spread to Russia and then around the world. It eventually took the lives of approximately 700,000 people around the world most of whom were young. It came to be known as the “Russian flu” because Russia was the first country to report it to the WHO. Scientists who examined its DNA concluded it was nearly identical to a previous strain of the flu virus which had caused an outbreak between 1949 and 1950.

In nature, the flu doesn’t remain unchanged for 27 years as it circulates. So the fact that the “Russian flu” was nearly identical to the earlier strain eventually led to the conclusion that the Russian flu was likely the result of a lab leak….

You may wish to note that more than a year ago, in April 2020, I concluded that everyone was lying and the evidence “tends to indicate the coronavirus as a coordinated Deep State attack on China, Iran, the Trump administration, and the American people.”


Of all the words….

In your most recent stream you said your high intelligence would have made the Naval Academy difficult for you.  What about higher intelligence makes the military more difficult?  I’m asking as someone who’ll likely be attending either the Naval Academy or West Point next year. 

You have to follow orders you know are stupid given by your intellectual inferiors. And you have to try to communicate with people across the 2SD communications gap. It can be done – my uncle is smarter than I am and he succeeded brilliantly at Annapolis and in the Corps. But he has tremendous charisma.

Two years pass…

You were right. I am currently in the process of leaving the Naval Academy.
