NATO’s Failed War on Russia

It’s obviously not a proxy war when literally thousands of soldiers from NATO countries have been killed inside undisputed Russian territory. The Russians released a report on bodies recovered from the Kursk incursion; these are fatalities, not casualties.

In just a few months, NATO lost nearly as many soldiers as the so-called “Coalition of the Willing” did in eight years of invading and occupying Iraq. The USA didn’t lose a proxy war in Ukraine, it lost an actual war; remember, these are just the fatalities from one single Ukrainian offensive.

The Empire Never Ended

An altar is discovered in a massive abandoned city-state in Guatemala. And you’ll never guess what they were sacrificing there…

An altar from the Teotihuacan culture, at the pre-Hispanic heart of what became Mexico, was discovered in Tikal National Park in Guatemala, the center of Mayan culture, demonstrating the interaction between the two societies, Guatemala’s Culture and Sports Ministry announced this week.

The enormous city-state of Tikal, whose towering temples still stand in the jungle, battled for centuries with the Kaanul dynasty for dominance of the Maya world.

Far to the north in Mexico, just outside present day Mexico City, Teotihuacan — “the city of the gods” or “the place where men become gods” — is best known for its twin Temples of the Sun and Moon. It was actually a large city that housed over 100,000 inhabitants and covered around 8 square miles.

The still mysterious city was one of the largest in the world at its peak between 100 B.C. and A.D. 750. But it was abandoned before the rise of the Aztecs in the 14th century.

Lorena Paiz, the archaeologist who led the discovery, said that the Teotihuacan altar was believed to have been used for sacrifices, “especially of children.”

“The remains of three children not older than 4 years were found on three sides of the altar,” Paiz told The Associated Press.

“The Teotihuacan were traders who traveled all over the country (Guatemala),” Paiz said.

A collapsed empire. An abandoned city. Child sacrifice. And traders who traveled all over.

You don’t say.

IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE

The first bonus track from THE ONLY SKULL campaign has been released as a single. You can hear it on Unauthorized, on the various mainstream music platforms, and on YouTube. The second bonus track will be released as a single next Monday, and I have no idea when the third bonus track, being the organic one, will even be recorded, so that one will be a while.

In other news on the creative front, a new chapter has begun in the serialization of TEMPUS OCCULTUM on Arktoons, chapter four, entitled Deceptus Eclipsus.

The abbot’s study was illuminated by tall windows that admitted thin blades of afternoon light, slicing through dust motes that danced in their path. As I entered, I sensed the weight of authority in the room—not just ecclesiastical, but something older, more primal. Father Umbertus stood by the abbot’s desk, his expression tense. Abbot Gerhardt sat behind it, fingers steepled, his face an impenetrable mask. And there, by the window, stood the stranger I had observed in the courtyard, now examining a celestial globe with affected interest.

“Brother Lukas,” the abbot intoned, “may I present Doctor Alessandro Visconti, Chief Archivist of the Vatican Apostolic Library.”

Visconti turned at the mention of his name, fixing me with eyes so dark they appeared almost black in the shadowed room. The ring with the quartered circle gleamed on his right hand as he offered a slight bow.

“Brother Lukas,” he said, his Italian accent precise yet subtle. “I have heard much about your… scholarly endeavors.”

“You honor our humble abbey with your presence, Doctor Visconti,” I replied, bowing in return. “Though I confess I am surprised that my humble work cataloging manuscripts would attract the attention of the Vatican’s Chief Archivist.”

A smile flickered across his face, cold as winter sunlight. “The Church takes a keen interest in all scholarly pursuits, particularly those concerning the correct interpretation of historical documents.”

Gangstalking is Real and Federally-Funded

The media omerta concerning the surveillance state painstakingly documented by Anonymous Conservative and various others is finally showing signs of breaking down as the funding for the system is being exposed:

In light of the policies set forth by President Donald J. Trump’s February 18, 2025 Executive Order titled “Radical Transparency About Wasteful Spending”, this is to bring to your attention the un-American and illegal activity orchestrated and funded by the Department of Homeland Security that you should order to be immediately eradicated.

During your confirmation hearings, referring to the agency you were appointed to direct, Senator Rand Paul stated: “There is not a single comprehensive list to address all the collaborative relationships that the department and its components engage in…that we can’t describe them.”

The reason why DHS refused to describe some of these “collaborative relationships” to the Homeland Security Committee is because many of them are patently illegal and in violation of the Fourth Amendment trample over the most basic civil and human rights of those illegally targeted by the government.

There are over 300,000 Americans that Federal Bureau of Investigation’s officials have attested under penalty of perjury have been placed on the Terrorist Screening Database without reasonable suspicion and “under secret criteria.”

The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General audit reports concluded that 97% of the people on the TSDB have “No known ties to terrorism” and do not represent a threat to national security. Only .28% of the list contains the names of actual “known and suspected terrorists.” The vast majority of this “blacklist” is reserved for whistleblowers, activists, J6ers, parents that protest at school boards, and any enemy of the Deep State.

DHS imparts the directives implemented in the Fusion Centers that carry out the illegal psychological operations against the people illegally placed on the TSDB. Together with their Citizen Corps co-conspirators, state and federal officials engage in organized stalking, spying, harassment, street theater, vandalism, break-ins, and a myriad of illegal tactics to obliterate these “blacklisted’ individuals. These DHS-funded programs are unconstitutional and even criminal. They mirror the Stasi police state that is un-American and militates against the most basic precepts of the America First agenda.

I haven’t been much affected by this myself, although even in Europe I’ve encountered its machinery occasionally when I’ve been out and about. But I suspect the 300,000 number on the target database referenced is closer to one-tenth the number of people involved in the stalking than it is to the total number of people being surveilled and stalked.

In the case of the Stasi, fully 20 percent of the population of East Germany was involved with the surveillance in some way. If the US program is similarly pervasive, and it has had more time to be established, that would mean 64 million people are somehow engaged with spying on and stalking their fellow US citizens. I find it very, very difficult to believe that so many people are genuinely caught up in the machinery, but the logic and the history strongly suggests that you know several people who are involved with it, either as a target or as part of the system, even if you’re not caught up in it yourself.

If I seem somewhat unconcerned about it, don’t take that to mean I am defending it or believe it is excusable in any way, shape, or form. It’s not; it is obviously illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. It’s only that the invisible hand of societal control has been documented as far back as we have written records, going back to Greece, Rome, Persia, and China. And even in my youth, I was never so naive as to believe things were any different today just because we had a Constitution.

Adam Smith didn’t quite get it right. The Invisible Hand exists, all right, it just happens to be rather more material than the metaphysical metaphor for the forces of the free market he imagined.

The Billionaires are Scared

And they should be. They’ve been financially raping the West in general and the USA in particular for the last 52 years, kicking the can down the road, and now the time of reckoning is rapidly approaching. And trying to setup President Trump as the scapegoat for things that have been playing out for decades isn’t going to work for them.

“I think that right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession,” Dalio said. “And I’m worried about something worse than a recession if this isn’t handled well.” Dalio explained that the US economy is confronting several overlapping challenges: rising debt, internal political divisions, growing geopolitical tensions, and shifts in global power.

“Such times are very much like the 1930s,” he warned. “If you take tariffs, if you take debt, if you take the rising power challenging the existing power – those changes in the orders, the systems, are very, very disruptive.”

Asked about the worst-case scenario, Dalio pointed to a potential breakdown of the dollar’s role as a store of wealth, combined with internal conflict beyond the norms of democratic politics and escalating international tensions – potentially even military conflict.

“That could be like the breakdown of the monetary system in ‘71. It could be like 2008. It’s going to be very severe,” Dalio said. “I think it could be more severe than those if these other matters simultaneously occur.”

Most of these men can’t pretend they weren’t responsible in some way, that their actions didn’t exacerbate the situation, and that they haven’t used their wealth, power, and influence to make things worse rather than attempting to fix things.

No wonder they’re all terrified and trying to build bunkers and go to space to get away from everyone, for fear that their angry victims will eventually come for them, as the Douglas Rushkoff book I reviewed recently for White Bull, Survival of the Richest, describes.

However, one thing I omitted from my review, as being inappropriate for an apolitical, business-oriented site, was my observation of the fact that for all his criticism of the billionaires, Douglas Rushkoff refuses to accept that their Mindset is, and has always been, fundamentally evil in its rejection of Christendom and traditional Western civilization.

Here are a few of the quotes I highlighted while reading Rushkoff’s book.

  • The solution sets imposed by the technocratic elite—true to the logic of scientism—refuse to acknowledge the human soul, irrational though it may be. People want their leadership to be more than utilitarian. As nineteenth-century journalist Walter Bagehot explained, the English constitution needed two parts: “one to excite and preserve the reverence of the population,” and another to “employ that homage in the work of government.” The latter is the pragmatic function of Parliament; the former is the holier role of the Crown. Where the elected government values efficiency, the Crown respects dignity. Or at least, according to Bagehot, it should. Sadly, along with his complaints about the failure of the Crown to meet its divine obligations, Bagehot’s later work descended into pseudoscientific racism, positing that those of mixed race lacked the “fixed traditional sentiments” on which human nature depended.
  • The much-feared angry mob is real. We see them act out in alt-right conspiracy groups online, Promise Keeper rallies in the streets, threats of violence by anti-vaxxers against local school boards, and resistance to any globally coordinated mitigation of climate change. Only it’s not, as The Crowd author Gustave Le Bon believed, a pre-existing condition of society that needs to be tamed from above, but a direct response to that top-down, technocratic effort to control them—and everything—in the first place. As the underlying logic, technology, messaging, and remote control of The Mindset is palpable everywhere—school, work, healthcare, warfare, the environment—it’s no wonder so many people are frightened and angry. But instead of pushing for an alternative to the dehumanized, misogynist, antisocial, and catastrophic biases of The Mindset, the resistance is a mirror image of The Mindset itself
  • The bigger problem with these would-be reformers ignoring their influences, however, is that they deny themselves any theory of change or social practice. They miss out on the lessons of history, including the mixed legacies of Lippman, Bernays, Bateson, and Mead. They’re destined to repeat the same, well-intentioned, mistakes.

But those legacies aren’t “mixed”. The evidence is now conclusive: Bagehot was correct all along, the culture is not transformative and the dirt is not magic. Those “mistakes” are not “well-intentioned”. Rushkoff is a ticket-taker, and what purports to be a critique of his superiors in the current Clown World elite really amounts to just another futile defense of them.

This Would Be Why

Women sometimes complain that men don’t take them seriously. And this sort of thing is why:

Katy Perry looked ready for action on Sunday as she posed alongside Lauren Sánchez in bodycon space outfits ahead of their Blue Origin mission on Monday as the singer declared: ‘We’re putting the ‘ass’ in astronaut!’

The star will be part of a history-making 11-minute flight, alongside Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren, journalist Gayle King and three other women, which is set to be the first all-female trip to space since 1963.

The launch is part of Blue Origin’s New Shepherd program – and will take place in west Texas on April 14, with the new space suits designed by Lauren herself.

Katy shared snaps from the launch on Sunday to her Instagram and penned: ‘Happy International Day of Human Space Flight. Forever in awe of the Universe and it’s alignment.’

She looked confident in the blue jumpsuit which was emblazoned with ‘Perry’ and said ‘Blue Origin’ down the arm.

This week Lauren told The New York Times of designing the blue suits: ‘Let’s reimagine the flight suit. Usually, you know, these suits are made for a man. Then they get tailored to fit a woman.’

She added: ‘I think the suits are elegant but they also bring a little spice to space.’ 

Five months ago Lauren got in touch with Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, the co-founders of the brand Monse, who are also creative directors of Oscar de la Renta and made her 2024 Met Gala outfit.

They agreed to help her with the space suit designs. 

Fernando said during the interview: ‘We even had a meeting on what underwear Lauren is going to wear…’ to which she responded: ‘Skims!’

I’m not saying the suits aren’t attractive. They are. Sanchez, at least, looks good in hers. It’s just that what it says about the priorities of the female astronauts doesn’t tend to lend it to anyone taking them seriously. I mean, if it weren’t for the fact that we know none of them had anything to do with the flight itself, and that they’ll have no more control over the flight controls than the dog the Russians sent up back in the day did, the odds would very heavily favor them crashing.

Mailvox: The War on Fertility

The Covid-19 vaxxes were not the only front opened by the global depopulationists. The medical community has been subverted in more ways than one, especially with regards to pediatricians and OB/GYNs.

My wife was found to be low on estrogen, and needed to supplement hormones. This is usually done in menopause, although some medical histories, such as my wife’s, make it necessary in younger years too.
The OB/GYN wrote her a prescription for an estradiol-based supplement, but it was one that included Levonorgestrel during the fertile days of the cycle.

Levonorgestrel is the active ingredient in the “Plan B” / “Morning After” pill.

This OB/GYN knew that my wife wants to have children, and blew off her concerns. The Levornogestrel does have its uses in menopausal women, of which my wife is not one. The same pharmaceutical company sells the same estradiol supplement without the Levornogestrel in it, and yet the OB/GYN prescribed the Levornogestrel. Before this specific diagnosis, the same OB/GYN also tried to get her on hormonal contraception, using all kinds of horror scenarios to make his “case”.

This is not unique, many OB/GYNs recommend, even push the pill for everything a young woman is experiencing. These “doctors” appear to be part of the war on fertility.

I would not take one single thing at face value from any doctor anymore. They aren’t even “doctors” in the sense that we understand the term; these are not people who have taken the Hippocratic Oath or are sworn to do no harm. Patient health is not their primary concern, so be cautious when utilizing their expertise and always make sure that what you’re being advised, and what you’re being prescribed, actually makes sense given your medical condition and personal situation.

You have to be your own advocate now. You cannot trust someone simply because he wears a white coat and calls himself a doctor. So did Dr. Mengele, after all.

Ill-Suited for War

It turns out that the profit motive tends to undermine actual military performance, which is why Clown World has long preferred subversion and color revolution to direct conflict:

Spiegel published a quite eye-opening piece yesterday, which reveals the long-kept truth about the performance of German weapons systems in real wartime conditions:

A German military assessment exposes major issues with NATO weapons in Ukraine.

The PzH 2000 howitzer, while advanced, is so technically fragile that its combat usefulness is in doubt. The Leopard 1A5 tank is used mostly as makeshift artillery due to weak armor. The Leopard 2A6 is too expensive and complex to maintain at the front.

Air defense systems also face problems. The IRIS-T works well, but ammo is too costly and scarce. The Patriot system is called “unsuitable for combat” because its MAN carrier vehicles are outdated and lack spare parts.

This information was revealed in a transcript of a lecture given by the deputy military attaché of the German embassy in Kiev. The summary of the paper is very clear: “Hardly any large German piece of equipment is fully suitable for war.”

The report cites “an internal paper of the Bundeswehr” about the real practicality of Germany’s top weapons. We can assume that the very same results extend to the entire constellation of NATO weaponry in general, since they are virtually all constructed with the same design philosophies, often even with interoperable systems—like the 120mm Rheinmetall tank barrels shared between the Abrams and Leopard series.

Also, for the sake of thoroughness and to establish context, Spiegel explains that the ‘report’ was taken from a lecture given to junior officers of the Bundeswehr by a ‘deputy military attaché of the German embassy in Kiev.

None of this should come as a surprise. The so-called “military-industrial complex” is neither military nor industrial; it’s really just another way of feeding off federal funds through government grants, no different than Politico making a living by selling massively overpriced subscriptions to USAID.

And the more things change… overengineered, expensive, hard-to-maintain weapons systems have been a German tradition since at least WWII, one that the USA inherited when it imported all the German scientists in the post-WWII migration that launched the US space program.

Which, of course, is also a fraud. No wonder the Russians are entirely confident of victory even if they have to face the entire continent of Europe alone. Simply living in objective reality instead of a hazy fog of financialization and rhetorical fever dreams is a material advantage that cannot be overcome, no matter how many delusional sales pitches are pronounced by unelected politicians.

Here is a useful metric: if a leader has no genuine followers, he’s a puppet and everything he says will be intrinsically false and is intended to be misleading.

Trade Deficit = Whip Hand

Donald Trump makes the textbook economics explicit:

The countries that deem US tariffs on their goods to be too high can just stop doing business with America altogether, President Donald Trump has suggested. He further insisted that his latest trade policies have made the US “strong,” bringing “billions of dollars a day” into its coffers.

On Wednesday, the US president slapped stiffer “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly 90 nations, only to announce a 90-day pause and a “substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%,” in a post on his Truth Social platform several hours later. The pause however does not apply to China, with which the US has engaged in a tit-for-tat exchange of ever-higher tariffs, with most of Beijing’s imports now subject to a 145% duty.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, Trump proclaimed that “ultimately, we pretty much can do what we want to do. We can set the tariff, and they can choose not to deal with us, or they can choose to pay it,” he explained, asserting that “if they think it’s too high, they don’t have to do business with us.”

It’s a simple and obvious power equation. When you have nothing to lose, and you’re the one who owns the market in which everyone is interested, then you’re in control. No country with a trade surplus with the USA has any leverage at all, because the US is obviously better off not trading with it than continuing to trade with it on the basis of the system that has impoverished and hollowed-out the US economy.

This is why the threats of returning the favor are so empty and stupid. The USA would BENEFIT from pure autarky, so trade restrictions are not a viable threat. The President’s move is brilliant, because it not only protects the US markets, it prevents US companies from leaving the USA as well.

The Banned Taxonomy

Den Blond Ulven points out that for some reason, other taxonomies simply don’t meet with the same violent objection that one of mine has since the time it was first formulated.

Vox’s Socio-Sexual Hierarchy (SSH) is a taxonomy concerning male interaction. It was derived from his observations and penned during the Game discovery era of males attempting to ascertain and share the labyrinths of the female psyche. The SSH is one of the most important tools in predicting male behavior and is a necessity if one wishes to navigate the world of men as we order each other, with any sense of the interactions involved. It’s predictive power is astonishing and I hold it to levels of usefulness just under those The Philosopher himself penned.

1) It is intuitive to all.

Be it women, low status men, or high status men, everyone recognizes the hierarchy when exposed to it. Women can sniff out low status vs. high status like bloodhounds on the hunt. Men work out the pyramid more exactly, and as such, we have the various ranks. We all intuit the SSH rather young, but Vox’s taxonomy classified the broad patterns more concretely and into a useful system.

2) The SSH is wholly rejected by the mainstream.

This is one telltale sign of the truthfulness or usefulness of whatever is being rejected. The mainstream is opposed to whatever goes against their goals. Game, and the SSH are villainized in the mainstream, leading them huge credence towards their validity. They really do not want Western males recognizing the factors involved in this great game.

3) Other taxonomies are not immediately rejected out of hand, so why this one?

The classification of dogs by The American Kennel Club is not met with such vehement negative response. This is because the SSH deals with humans, has perceived winners and losers, and people don’t want to be losers. Thus, the outrage and denial. Just take a step back and look at it as one would in classifying plants or something else mundane to remove emotion from the equation.

It’s a very good and relevant point. Why do people immediately start crying that it isn’t science to observe that one man is an Alpha and another is a Gamma, when they have never protest the idea of calling one dog a Great Dane and another one a Chihuahua. Where, after all, are the published, peer-reviewed papers that scientifically establish that a Malamute is not a Poodle? Have the genomes of the Basset Hound and the Saluki been fully sequenced and compared?

Taxonomies predate scientody. Therefore, to refer to nonexistent science in an attempt to delegitimize a taxonomy is not only dishonest, it is a category error.
