What did he know about Hillary Clinton?

That’s the question that naturally occurs to everyone in light of the assassination of the President of Haiti:

The President of Haiti Jovenel Moise has been assassinated by gunmen ‘claiming to be DEA agents’ in a night-time raid on his home that also left his wife seriously injured. 

A group of ‘foreigners’, some of whom spoke English and Spanish, broke into Mr Moise’s home in the hills above Port-au-Prince at around 1am on Wednesday, according to a statement by country’s prime minister.

The 53-year-old was shot dead and the First Lady Martine, 47, was wounded in what PM Claude Joseph called a ‘hateful, inhumane and barbaric act.’ Haiti’s embassy in the Dominican Republic said the First Lady has since been flown to another country for treatment.

In footage purportedly recorded by a witness, someone with an American accent shouts into a megaphone: ‘DEA operation. Everybody stand down. DEA operation. Everybody back up, stand down.’

Gunfire then erupts in the video uploaded to Instagram by someone who says they were in the Pelerin 5 neighbourhood, where the president’s house is located. 

The assailants were pretending to be from the US Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA) and were ‘mercenaries,’ a government source told The Miami Herald.

To be fair, it sounds a lot more like something the CIA would do rather than the DEA.

Freaking midwits

If you don’t understand the difference between VHQ/UHQ and mere Mensa intelligence, perhaps this might help. Pewdiepie and millions of others have been amused by a video in which the arrogant and credentialed erroneously rate themselves as possessing higher intelligence than a military man who never went to college.

But no one should have been even remotely surprised, nor should any of the people in the video rated the man lower than everyone else, because the guy literally told them what his tested approximate IQ percentile was during the discussion period.

He actually tested a little higher on whatever IQ test they took – 97th instead of 94th, which indicates the military test takers are slightly above the norm – but no one should have rated him below third. I would have rated him second, below Asian Harvard guy. And note that even what is generally considered the educational elite peaks at a standard deviation below genuine high IQ levels.

ALT★HERO Episode 11: Fudgesticks!

DEUS VULT Episode 11: Bow Before the Demon King – or Die

This marks the final episode of Deus Vult for the time being. Next week it will be replaced by Something Big, a brand new series from Chuck Dixon and Frank Fosco. And if you need a reminder of why Arktoons is important and why it is worth subscribing to support it, this news that no comic or cartoon from the past is safe from SJW convergence should suffice.

It’s learned that He-Man is now black in the Kevin Smith Masters of The Universe: Revelation series coming to Netflix where it has also become known they passed on using an original black character.

Before we continue, it should actually be noted all the ideas for the Masters of the Universe: Revelation series are coming from Netflix exec Ted Biaselli, as Smith was simply hired to develop and promote the series (Kevin Smith isn’t even a He-Man fan).

So apparently Ted Biaselli’s big idea for He-Man is to make the character as woke as possible, as it already appears Teela will become the new He-Man based on the trailers and official series descriptions.

But Ted Biaselli didn’t stop there as He-Man’s grandfather has been race-swapped, changed from a white dude to a black dude.

Recall how I have said Hollywood would never allow He-Man – a blond white male – to be made out to look good in the series, and now we see the character is changed to have black ancestors and get replaced by the woke Teela.

The Hellmouth is determined to eradicate every last vestige of the West, right down to The Iliad, Beowulf, and the Bible. So it falls to us to maintain our stories, defend our culture, and make new ones. When you subscribe to Arktoons, you help us do that.

And they’re not going to stop with mere blackwashing and race-swapping:

The rise of gender-diverse representation isn’t a coincidence. Shows created and run by queer women, trans, and nonbinary showrunners are largely responsible for the influx of nonbinary and trans characters in kids’ animation. Among the 10 animated kids series that feature the most LGBTQ characters, trans, nonbinary and queer creators account for 65{cc08d85cfa54367952ab9c6bd910a003a6c2c0c101231e44cdffb103f39b73a6} of that representation alone.

Trust the science, ladies

 Somehow, I doubt the Vaccine Nazis will mindlessly obey this dictate on alcohol from the World Health Organization:

THE World Health Organisation (WHO) has been accused of being “sexist and paternalistic” by suggesting women of childbearing age should not drink alcohol.

Its latest Global Alcohol Action Plan lays out how countries should pay “appropriate attention” to the prevention of drinking among children, expectant mothers and women of childbearing age. The UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) says females between the ages of 15 and 45 fall into this category.

Experts suggested that the harmful effects of alcohol on women could be publicised through a global “world no alcohol day/week”.

It added: “Appropriate attention should be given to the prevention of the initiation of drinking among children and adolescents, prevention of drinking among pregnant women and women of childbearing age, and protection of people from pressures to drink.”

That might be effective anti-vaccine rhetoric. “You know the same scientists telling you to get the Covid vaccine are also telling you that you can’t drink until you’re 45, right?”

The clock is ticking

The imperial US slinks away from the graveyard of empires:

The U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.

Afghanistan’s army showed off the sprawling air base Monday, providing a rare first glimpse of what had been the epicenter of America’s war to unseat the Taliban and hunt down the al-Qaida perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on America.

The U.S. announced Friday it had completely vacated its biggest airfield in the country in advance of a final withdrawal the Pentagon says will be completed by the end of August.

“We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram … and finally by seven o’clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram,” Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani, Bagram’s new commander said.

Empires seldom grasp that they are in decline, even when the signs are obvious to the educated observer. I note that it took two years for the Soviet Union to fall after withdrawing from Afghanistan. 2023 would be ten years earlier than my prediction of 2033, but it’s hard to argue that it’s impossible. 

Kohistani said the U.S. left behind 3.5 million items, all itemized by the departing U.S. military. They include tens of thousands of bottles of water, energy drinks and military ready-made meals, known as MRE’s.

“When you say 3.5 million items, it is every small items, like every phone, every door knob, every window in every barracks, every door in every barracks,” he said.

The big ticket items left behind include thousands of civilian vehicles, many of them without keys to start them, and hundreds of armored vehicles. Kohistani said the U.S. also left behind small weapons and the ammunition for them, but the departing troops took heavy weapons with them. Ammunition for weapons not being left behind for the Afghan military was blown up before they left.

Much brave. So victory! Very pride. 

The numbers leak

 As I mentioned previously, it’s going to be increasingly hard for the governments to hide the evidence of vaccine injuries as the monetary costs of them become evident through everything from flight cancellations to unemployment claims.

What if the injury rate — significant injury — is closer to 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 than the one in a hundred thousand we have been told?

What if that means that for anyone who isn’t old and infirm the math doesn’t pencil out and the very real financial and personal consequences are hammering people?

What if the insurance companies know this, and the Obamacare premium proposals being submitted right now for next year are up 30{cc08d85cfa54367952ab9c6bd910a003a6c2c0c101231e44cdffb103f39b73a6}?  Because, from what I’m hearing, they are.  Of course that’s an opening bid from the insurance companies but that sure isn’t all roses and rainbows, is it?

What if the labor department published a jobs report that shows a wildly rising — and at an accelerating rate — disability rate among all people 16+ in the workforce, totaling close to 3 million newly disabled people since January?  Because just Friday, they did!

There are 2.8 million more disabled workers than there were six months ago. The very reasonable question that Karl Denninger is asking is: what started happening in January that could have rendered that many workers unable to work?
