A clear and present danger

The fringes of the SJW media would like nothing better than to generate another Ruby Ridge out of Owen Benjamin’s Beartaria:

A group of nine of Benjamin’s neighbors have grown concerned about the prospect of Benjamin’s fans trekking out to the property, which they say is zoned for agricultural or forest uses.

In an email to county officials, one neighbor pointed out that the property isn’t serviced by utilities, raising the threat that inexperienced campers could start forest fires in their attempts to have campfires. The property is connected to a narrow, crude road, according to the neighbors, whose meager maintenance amounts to residents adding rocks to it every year.

Benjamin’s neighbors have also become alarmed over the possibility of organized military training at the property.

“This poses a clear and present danger,” a Vietnam War veteran who lives near Benjamin told the Kootenai Valley Times. “This is a commercial enterprise offering training in weapons and tactics and not a use allowed in this zone. There is no conceivable reason to allow this use. If we wait too long, it will be too late.”

Benjamin told The Daily Beast no guns have been fired on the property since he purchased it. But his attempts to downplay the possibility of guns at Ursa Rio have been undermined by his habit of describing grandiose plans for the land in hours-long livestreams several times a week, with the most incendiary statements archived and analyzed by his online detractors.

For example, Benjamin has often referenced having a paramilitary force at his property, saying he is “friends with, basically, a paramilitary group” in Idaho.

“If you try to squat on my land when I offer you campgrounds, I have my own paramilitary squad,” Benjamin said in one video, warning off “Bears” who might try to live on the land permanently.

“I’d have my own private paramilitary force, which is always a good thing,” Benjamin said in another video.

Benjamin insists he was just joking about the paramilitary.

“I do not have a paramilitary squad,” Benjamin told The Daily Beast in an email. “I was making a joke as a comedian. Unless you consider my goats and chickens a military.”

In his videos, Benjamin has also discussed the prospect of guns at “Beartaria.”

“Shooting range?” Benjamin said in one video, describing his plans for a bear-themed community in Idaho. “Yes! Will there be a gun range? Yes!”

By his own accounts, Benjamin does not come off as an ideal neighbor. In several videos, he relates stories where he berates store employees or fellow customers who asked him to wear a face mask. In one incident, according to Benjamin, he called an elderly man in a post office who asked him to wear a mask a “crusty old hunchback” and accused him of being a pervert, saying that masks are only used by criminals or perverts.

After a reporter in the area covered the controversy over Benjamin’s property, the comedian baselessly accused the reporter during a livestream of being a pedophile and mocked him for using a wheelchair.

The entire article is nothing but a series of baseless accusations. Notice that not a single one of these “concerned neighbors” is named. But it’s a good idea to keep this article in mind if you think you’re ever going to escape the conflict simply by moving and minding your own business. Once the media decides you are dangerous to it – and the defeat of Patreon in court by Owen’s Bears combined with the retreat from arbitration on the part of every Big Tech company from Amazon on down is probably what alarmed the media – they will always look to find a way to sic some sort of authority on you.

And unfortunately, unlike in Europe where defamation laws are still enforced to the point that a well-known television celebrity is now facing bankruptcy for a single tweet falsely accusing a woman of having had an affair, the US media can still expect to get away with nonsense like this. So remember, everything you say and write will be used against you in the court of public opinion.

Knowing Owen, he’ll befriend those frightened neighbors before the end of the summer, at which point the Daily Beast will be forced to invent some other fake controversy. But Owen really needs to up his media game. He really should have known the correct way to address the reporter’s alleged idiosyncracies was to say that “a group of the reporter’s neighbors have grown concerned about the prospect of the reporter being a pedophile and fear that he might run over their children’s toes with his wheelchair.”

Back in August

I’d heard some of the rumors talking about an August timeframe for a Trump return to the White House, so it’s interesting to see that they have now entered the mainstream narrative:

Maggie Haberman, a CNN analyst and Washington correspondent for the New York Times, sparked controversy on social media after she claimed former President Donald Trump has been telling people he will soon return to the presidency.
“Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August,” claimed Haberman on Twitter Tuesday, adding that she was “simply sharing the information.”
After another user questioned whether Haberman was referring to “the presidency,” she confirmed.

Curiouser and curiouser…. 

The accursed sect

Archbishop Vignano calls out the latest iteration of the Prometheans:

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the U.S., unmasked once again, at the Venice Summit, the plan of a group of billionaires to impose a world tyranny, in his speech “Great Reset: the last great lie.”

Viganò relates the Great Reset to the so-called New World Order and explains its action: “to spread the infernal chaos, in which everything that civilization has laboriously built over the millennia, under the inspiration of Grace, will be overturned and perverted, corrupted and erased,” he said on May 30. 

He further explains that this is the continuation of ancient combat led by “a few tyrants,” and the Great Reset is the last stage. 

He adds, “And to achieve this end, the last step is the establishment of a synarchy in which a few faceless tyrants, thirsty for power, dedicated to the cult of death and sin, to the hatred of life, of virtue and of beauty, rule.”

He also specifies the names of some powerful family members who for centuries have secretly hatched the destructive plan, now also availing themselves of the controversial worldwide vaccination plan.  

“The members of this cursed sect are not only Bill Gates, George Soros or Klaus Schwab, but those who have been plotting in the shadows for centuries to overthrow the Kingdom of Christ: the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Warburgs, and those who have come to ally today with the leaders of the Church, using the moral authority of the Pope and the Bishops to convince the faithful to get vaccinated.”

It’s interesting, is it not, that a Protestant game designer and a Catholic archbishop who have never spoken and have never read the other’s work should reach such similar conclusions about the existence and the aims of this ancient collection of the wicked? Of course, it doesn’t require any particular set of beliefs to simply observe the patterns of history and see how they are playing out right before our eyes.

It is interesting, too, how the more one is inclined toward the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, the more one is able to clearly see the wicked for what they are. Miles Mathis is not a Christian, but he is a devotee of both truth and beauty, which may account for his ability to notice what so many others don’t.

The effectiveness of rhetoric

One way to confirm that a rhetorical device is a killshot is when the phrase is literally banned by the media:

Australian Broadcaster ABC has announced that they will not allow the use of the word ‘apartheid’ in their coverage of Israel and Palestine in an effort to “be as objective as possible.” The network has also noted the term’s “specific meaning in South African history” as part of its reasoning for the move, according to an “internal advisory note” reported in the Australian. 
While some of the network’s coverage has managed to stay away from using the word, it has still made its way onto the airwaves, recently on ‘Q+A’ when Palestine advocate Randa Abdel-Fattah accused Israel of being based “on a racial apartheid system,” leading to a fiery debate during which the word was used multiple times. 

Now, the Australian organization is completely correct in the dialectical sense. The term “Apartheid” makes no literal sense outside of a historical South African context. Of course the same is true of commonly-used terms such as “Nazi” and “fascist”. And other highly-charged terms, like “racist” and “sexist” and “anti-semite” are far more often used as effective rhetorical weapons than in a literal dialectical sense.

So, this is little more than the usual “rhetoric for me, but not for thee” situation. And what it confirms is that “the apartheid State of Israel” is rhetorically effective in a way that “Zionazi” is not, because the best rhetoric always points toward the truth. 

The fact is that Israel is a segregated state, and if it survives over time, it will become even more of one. After all, it was not apartheid, but rather, the abandonment of apartheid that led to the transformation of South Africa from a quasi-First World state to one that is threatening to collapse into anarchy. But Israelis should not hesitate to prioritize the actual nation over the civic state, any more than the Americans, the British, or the Russians should. At least, not if they wish to survive as a nation-state.

And speaking of rhetoric, “highly complicated” is a media and academic euphemism for “yes, we know we’re being hypocritical.”

Tuesday AM Arktoons

BEN GARRISON Editorial 5: Authority Man

THE AWAKENER Episode 5: Kill ‘Em All (warning: R rating)
And don’t miss the weekly Arktoons update at Bounding Into Comics, which discusses the latest developments in Midnight’s War, Gun Ghoul, and Chicago Typewriter.
Urban fantasy is frequently thought of as a relatively new genre. That it only started gaining ground in the late eighties and early nineties with the works of Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and Terri Windling.
Urban Fantasy certainly made its presence felt in the Vertigo titles of the 1990s. But at the time it was viewed as having limited market appeal.  Just something for the Goths, Sand-heads, and emo-kids in black trench coats.  
Perhaps it was a bit more niche in those days, but those days came crashing to an end with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The Potterverse took urban fantasy mainstream in such a big way that it’s as universal to Millennials and Zoomers as the Lord of the Rings is to previous generations.

One clarification: Arkhaven comics will continue to be free access at Arktoons, supported by subscriptions and crowdfunding. However, we will permit independent creators to paywall their comics if they wish to do so. We’re not interested in telling other people how they can, or cannot, support their comics on the platform.

That does add up

Last year, I was wondering how on Earth it would be theoretically possible for the US population to drop to under 100 million in the next four years when other countries like China and Russia were predicted to remain essentially flat. In addition to the USA, a number of west European countries were also predicted to experience significant population declines by 2025 by Deagle, a Janes-style outfit that sells intelligence and military analysis. Col. Deagle, an unusually well-connected man who had been active in the international foundation scene, died in February 2021.

What was especially strange about the prediction was that the analysts made it clear that this negative population growth was not expected to result from nuclear war or a pandemic, but rather from “the Great Reset”. But what could that mean and how could it reduce populations on such a scale? Unfortunately, after seeing this chart below, there is a logical explanation for the prediction.

The lesson, as always, is this: don’t get the vaxx under any circumstances.

China chooses life

In case it isn’t entirely clear that China has rejected the Prometheans and their path to national suicide through empire, China skeptics can’t even point to the now-outdated One-Child Policy anymore:

China is making a major change in how its citizens can form a family. Monday, the Chinese Communist Party said it would allow married couples to have as many as three children to combat the country’s aging population.

Got that? Couples in China are now allowed to have a third child.

The change comes five years after Beijing ended its infamous “one-child policy” to allow couples to keep a second child.

State-run, Xi Jinping-approved Xinhua News Agency says the new policy will “improve the country’s population structure, actively implement the national strategy to respond to the aging population, and maintain the country’s demographic advantage.”

And if the mere permission doesn’t work, who here doesn’t believe that China won’t be ruthless enough to offer serious financial incentives to married couples? Especially when Hungary is already providing lifetime waivers on personal income tax for women raising at least four children and large vehicle subsidies for large families.

Meanwhile, in the rapidly declining imperial USA, parents are being socially incentivized to put their little boys in dresses and sterilize their little girls with hormone blockers and surgery. 

This is why it is silly to pronounce any nation dead due to sub-replacement birth rates. In less than one generation, a single determined nationalist at the helm can turn it around. On the plus side, WWIII looks increasingly unlikely, by virtue of being unnecessary.

The poisonous spike protein

 As uninterested scientists take a closer look at the not-vaccines, the news keeps getting worse.

We now know the spike protein gets into circulation. We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew it was a toxin. So by vaccinating people we are inadvertently inoculating them with a toxin.

– Dr. Byram Bridle, University of Guelph

I think that “inadvertently” is probably a little too generous. You know the viral immunologist is a concern to Big Pharma, as someone has already set up a false flag website using his name as the URL for the purpose of deboonking his statements.

Meanwhile, an Oracle VP learns the hard way that the Devil mocks his servants.

  • I got my first vaccination today. I am incredibly proud of @Oracle and the team that worked tirelessly to create and run v-safe for the USA.
    • Joel R. Kallman@joelkallman, Mar 26
  • We’re heartbroken to share that Joel Kallman has passed away from Covid-19 on May 25th. He was 54. Joel’s warmth and enthusiasm touched countless across the globe. We miss him dearly.
    • Oracle APEX@OracleAPEX, May 27
Karl Denninger’s conclusion:

It is, on the weight of the scientific evidence at this time, profoundly unsafe to produce, distribute or administer any vaccine that causes production of the spike protein in the human body where it can and does enter the circulation, whether directly or indirectly, because the protein itself and its S1 sub-unit are believed pathogenic standing alone.  This has now been known for months, indeed the first papers demonstrating this were out before any material number of jabs went into arms and have been deliberately ignored.
