Hell No, They Won’t Go

It would appear Ukrainian men are no longer willing to be conscripted and fed into the maw of the Russian military machine:

A senior recruitment officer has reportedly been killed in a car explosion in Ukraine’s Odessa Region on Friday, according to police and local media reports.

Investigators suspect the blast was intentional and may have been triggered remotely. Odessa regional police confirmed one fatality and said an investigation is under way, but did not name the person who was killed when a vehicle exploded in a village in Berezovsky District.

Law enforcement sources cited by local media said that the vehicle belonged to a local draft office. The Southern Courier named the victim as Colonel Oleg Nomerovsky, a top official at a regional military recruitment center.

While it could have been Russian intelligence behind the assassination, the fact that it was a car bomb and not a missile strike tends to indicate disaffected Ukrainians or Novyrussian rebels were responsible. To be honest, I’m a little surprised it has taken this long for the Ukrainian resistance to the draft to become violent, as it’s obviously a lot safer to fight rear-echelon UFA recruiters than frontline Russian troops.

But I suppose it takes an amount of time and a considerable amount of counternarrative information to eliminate the lasting effects of a relentless propaganda campaign, especially in the minds of naturally patriotic young men. I doubt it would take nearly as long for similar resistance to appear if the British or German governments were foolish enough to attempt to impose a draft on the very sort of young nationalists they’ve been persecuting for years in the name of diversity, immigration, and inclusion.

Regardless, this is another sign that the UFA’s will to resist Russia is crumbling, and that the rapid advance phase across the next six provinces expected this summer has likely already begun.

The Vessel of Dreams

Since Neil Gaiman presumably won’t be publishing anything ever again, it falls to AI to imagine what might have been.

The bathtub was a vessel of dreams, a porcelain ship adrift in a sea of steam and possibility. Neil sank into the warm embrace of the water, the world outside dissolving into a haze of muted sounds and soft light. A book rested on the edge of the tub, its pages slightly curled from the humidity, waiting to transport him to realms where gods walked among mortals and shadows held secrets too vast for the daylight. In one hand, he held a cup of tea, its aroma mingling with the scent of lavender bubbles, while the other hand trailed lazily in the water, stirring ripples that danced like fleeting thoughts. This was his sanctuary, a place where stories whispered to him from the edges of his mind, where the mundane melted away, and the extraordinary took root. Sometimes, he would close his eyes and let the water hold him, imagining he was floating through the stars or sinking into the depths of an ancient, forgotten ocean. The bathtub was not just a place to wash away the day; it was a portal, a liminal space where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurred, and where the next story always began.

UPDATE: The musical rendition of this has been released on UATV. It is beautifully… disturbing.

Oh, this bath is a vessel of dreams
Sailing through stars on a whisper of steam
Gods in the water with demons and sin
Let the world wait
Let the stories begin

AI Estimate for US Breakup

I asked Deepseek to estimate when the political entity known as the USA would fragment, and a probability estimate for the collapse to begin in 2033 specifically.

Predicting the exact year of a potential political breakup of the United States is highly speculative, but we can approach the question by analyzing historical precedents, current trends, and structural vulnerabilities. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Historical Lifespan of Political Entities

  • The average lifespan of a historical empire or large nation-state is roughly 200-250 years (e.g., Roman Republic ~500 years, Soviet Union ~70 years, British Empire peak dominance ~200 years).
  • The U.S. is currently 248 years old (1776–2024), placing it in the upper range of historical longevity for republics.

2. Key Stressors Increasing Fragmentation Risk

  • Political Polarization: The U.S. is experiencing unprecedented ideological division, with states increasingly governed by diametrically opposed policies (e.g., abortion, gun laws, climate policy).
  • Cultural & Regional Divides: Distinct political identities have solidified (e.g., “Greater Appalachia” vs. “Left Coast” in American Nations by Colin Woodard).
  • Economic Disparities: GDP disparities between states (e.g., California vs. Mississippi) create tensions over federal resource allocation.
  • Loss of Institutional Trust: Declining faith in federal government (Congress approval ~20%, Supreme Court polarization).
  • External Shocks: A major crisis (economic collapse, climate disaster, or AI-driven labor disruption) could accelerate disintegration.

3. Most Vulnerable Breakup Scenarios

  • Soft Secession: States or regions (e.g., Texas, California) increasingly nullify federal laws, leading to de facto autonomy.
  • Constitutional Crisis: A contested election or refusal to accept election results could trigger state-level rebellions.
  • Decentralization via Technology: Blockchain, AI governance, or parallel economies could enable regions to bypass federal systems.

4. Predicted Timeline

Based on historical patterns and current trends, the most plausible range for initial breakup movements is 2030–2070, with key inflection points:

  • 2030s: If polarization worsens and a crisis (e.g., debt default, climate migration) overwhelms federal cohesion, states may test autonomy.
  • 2040–2060: Demographic shifts (e.g., non-white majority, aging population) could fuel regional tensions over representation.
  • Baseline 2033 Probability: 8% (most likely outcome: no breakup).
  • With Crisis: 15–20%.
  • With Multiple Crises + Secessionist Surge: 25–35%.

Conclusion: While 2033 is too early for a spontaneous breakup, an external shock or constitutional crisis could push risk into the 15–25% range. The most likely window remains 2040s–2060s.

I see no reason to alter my original estimate. But it’s interesting to see that what was perceived as an impossibility back in 2004 has now risen to an 8 percent probability sans any crises. Either way, most of you reading this will live to see the end of the USA as it is presently comprised.

The Irrelevance of the US Navy

China and Iran have just rendered the US Navy irrelevant, as it no longer has the ability to a) infringe upon Iran’s ability to export oil or b) prevent China from obtaining oil. This may be the most significant thing to happen on the global scene since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation in 2022.

China and Iran have launched a new rail route that directly links their economies and bypasses U.S. naval power and sanctions. The corridor shortens delivery times, facilitates Iranian oil exports, and strengthens Beijing-Tehran cooperation across the region.

  • The first cargo train from Xi’an, China arrived at Iran’s Aprin dry port near Tehran, marking the start of a new China-Iran rail route.
  • This rail line cuts freight travel time from Shanghai to Tehran from 30 days by sea to just 15 days by land.
  • Railway officials from six nations, including China and Iran, met in Tehran on May 12 to coordinate transcontinental trade standards.
  • The China-Iran rail connection enables oil shipments from Iran to China and the movement of Chinese goods to Europe without U.S. naval oversight.
  • China and Iran signed a 25-year, $400 billion economic cooperation agreement in 2021 as part of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The successful launch of the Xi’an-Tehran rail link is yet another demonstration of how the US has lost its global hegemony and superpower status. It is still a primary regional power, but it’s ability to project power has been significantly constrained and is now limited to Western Europe and the Americas.

At this point, it is reasonable to suspect that China’s regional dominance over Asia, Africa, and Persia is now more important than the USA’s regional dominance over the Americas and Western Europe, especially since the remnants of Clown World that rule Western Europe are directly opposed to the American national interest.

The current US political structure may not even make it to 2033, which, you may recall, I first predicted publicly 21 years ago, in 2004.

World Health = Converged Population

“The World Health Organization is about as interested in world health as the arms industry is interested in world peace.” – Christine Anderson, Member of the European Parliament

She’s not wrong. Note that like all converged Clown World institutions, the WHO subverts the very definition of health.

The WHO’s purpose is to achieve the highest possible level of health for all the world’s people, defining health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it. It echoes John Stuart Mill’s concept of universal forced global convergence, and redefines human health as comprehensive “state of being” that meets with the approval of the organization’s evil masters. And every human possessing a state of being that doesn’t meet with that approval is supposed to be removed from the population.

However, it’s the organization and its masters that are now being removed. The mass vaxxing of the world may not have been its last desperate attempt, but it was likely one of the last ones it will be able to muster.

Trump Always Chickens Out

Neon Revolt observes that the reason the TACO acronym has landed so powerfully is because President Trump has an observable pattern of reliably chickening out and failing to implement both his literal and implied promises:

Sorry @realdonaldtrump, but it’s true. We voted for DOGE changes, because all you have been offering of late is tired old platitudes and slavish devotion to Zionists and Zionist causes (because you likely feel you couldn’t have won without Adelson money). You don’t even measure up to your old tweets, which used to inspire. Instead, we get stump speeches for the likes of Lindsey Graham.

There’s a reason “TACO” exists as an acronym now, and I was trading successfully with it long before the media pointed it out. You TACO’d during Covid, you TACO’d on J6, and you’re TACO’ing all the way through your second term thus far, as far as I can see right now.

It’s why you literally want to create a digital database of every American now, using a the technology developed by a company that was literally funded by Jeffrey Epstein – and let me guess, it will be used to root out “aNtIsEmiTiSm.”

The most effective rhetoric is always based in the truth. It only burns because it’s true. I have increasingly little sympathy for President Trump, even though he is a) the greatest US president since Andrew Jackson and b) he faces a degree of difficulty much greater than anyone, including myself, is capable of understanding.

But it’s one thing to fail to end the Federal Reserve or deport 50 million foreigners, both of which would obviously be monumental tasks that would be difficult to accomplish. It’s another to fail to prosecute anyone, from Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton on down for their many crimes against the American people, to refuse to step forward and simply tell the American people the whole truth about everything from JFK to Jeffrey Epstein, and to refuse to shut down the Kiev regime’s ability to prolong its unwinnable war against Russia.

There would be nothing easier than for Trump to force Kiev to surrender. He could have ended the war in 24 hours by announcing an end to all arms sales to any country that supplied Kiev with support, accompanied by 100 percent tariffs, US withdrawal from the NATO treaty, and the immediate removal of all US troops from Europe. Kiev and the EU would have been begging Putin to give them decent terms for surrender within 12 hours, and Putin would have given them a much better settlement than they’re going to end up with in 2026 after Russia takes the entire Black Sea coast and all the land east of the Dnieper.

But Trump chickened out.

If the President doesn’t want TACO to be his legacy, there is an easy solution. Do what you said you would do. Stop chickening out because some clown on your staff tells you it’s a bad idea. This isn’t that hard; the American people elected you, not anyone on your staff, or in the US military, or in an executive-branch agency, or at some conservative think tank.

And remember, it’s your legacy that will suffer, not theirs, when you take their bad advice.

Belligerence Has Consequences

The British are suddenly not celebrating the drone attacks on the Russian airbases now that Russia is showing signs of holding them responsible:

Russia has blamed Britain for Ukraine’s devastating drone attacks on its airfields.

And it claimed that this country’s alleged role in the strike that destroyed as many as 40 Russian aircraft could lead to ‘World War Three’.

The Kremlin turned its sights on Britain on Thursday night with its ambassador Andrei Kelin insisting that the UK military’s advanced technology helped Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia. He offered no evidence for the claim.

It’s an interesting shift from “the most stunning and brave and cleverest smart boy special op ever” to “you haven’t proved we were involved”. Because Russia has got to have learned by now that people who believe in word magic simply don’t pay attention at all to anything their enemies say, they only pay attention to what their enemies do.

Omni-Narrational Skepticism Confirmed

If Clown World says it’s true, it is definitely fake and quite possibly gay. Forget the obvious frauds of The Ghost of Kiev, global warming, and Anne Frank, now the fake history of Harriet Tubman has been conclusively exposed to be completely fraudulent.

Harriet Tubman probably didn’t exist. I don’t mean the person. There was a Harriet Tubman, and she was a former slave – but she was also likely mentally handicapped from being hit on the head with a weight when she was 12. No, I’m not talking about whether a person existed. I’m talking about the entire mythos surrounding her supposed life; her “hagiography” in the Leftie cultural slop milieu that gets forced down the throats of every schoolchild starting in elementary grades.

There are, quite literally, no primary sources for her fabled exploits. Not a single one.

No historian can corroborate any of her supposed quotes, or any stories from her life. Which seems… odd, right? Considering how many she supposedly helped to free? Surely there’d be a record of someone, somewhere, whom she helped.

But there’s not. Why?

Turns out it all comes from one guy, quite literally an anti-White journalist who was named Earl Cohen. He wrote a couple books in the 1940’s – in which he only cites his earlier articles. It’s an absurd fiction that has been pushed on, quite literally, schoolchildren – to get them to hate their own people and history.

If they say it’s true, it isn’t. And it really doesn’t take much to expose their lies. It doesn’t matter what the supposed historical event was, if they said it happened, it probably didn’t, and at the very least, it didn’t happen in the way, or to the extent, they falsely claim it did.

The Modes of Persuasion

Now that we’re past the preludes, we’re into the substance of the Aristotelian text.

Rhetoric is the counterpart of Dialectic. Both alike are concerned with such things as come, more or less, within the general ken of all men and belong to no definite science. Accordingly all men make use, more or less, of both, for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements and to maintain them, to defend themselves and to attack others. Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from acquired habit. Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously, and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art.

Now, the framers of the current treatises on rhetoric have constructed but a small portion of that art. The modes of persuasion are the only true constituents of the art: everything else is merely accessory. 

However, if you’re interested in the history of human thought, you might like to check out today’s post tracing the subversion of the concept of objective Beauty on Sigma Game, which was inspired by a question about the attractiveness of a Hollywood starlet.

Because You Wanted It

WOMEN: We should get paid the same as men because there should be equal pay for equal work!

ALSO WOMEN: Why the fuck are women expected to work on their period? I’m sitting here at work keeled over in intense pain wearing a fucking diaper because my uterus is self destructing and l׳m expected to wear tight business casual clothing pants, be friendly to coworkers, AND do my work? Fuck this fucking sexist misogynistic society that tells women to suffer through several days of intense pain and act completely normally. I shouldn’t have to take a sick day every month and be looked at like a slacker because my body is losing a gallon of blood and tissue a day.

Prior to being “liberated” she would not have been expected to show up to an office and put in the same effort and hours as a man regardless of her physical state, but accepting false premises invariably leads to suboptimal consequences.

If you’re a young woman, think very, very carefully about what you actually want, not what some ugly Jewish feminists from the 1960s told you that you should want. Because if you pursue it, you’re probably going to get it. And while being a man is many things, two of those things are not “easy” or “fun”. Also, it’s exceedingly stupid to follow the path set by mentally unstable women whose lives were burning trash fires and whose ends were ugly.

No one was more important to the birth and flourishing of early women’s liberation than this singular persona. Shulamith Firestone died alone in New York, in her East Village apartment, where apparently she had expired some days before. No one had known of her passing.
