We’re getting new submissions every 30 seconds. Every member of the media who defamed, slandered, and doxxed the #CovingtonBoys on Twitter will be served. Each and every tweet will be archived and turned over to the students’ legal counsel.

The fact that literally racist Neo-Palestinian supremacists like Ben Shapiro and Bill Kristol attempt to position themselves as moral voices of any kind is both risible and ridiculous. I hope the families of the boys who have been slandered and libeled by these media whores do follow through and actually file suit against them.

A predilection for name-calling and a complete lack of accountability is the only reason these ludicrous people have any status. It’s time to ensure that they are held accountable for their hateful words and actions.

UPDATE: Ace of Spades is confused about the nature of the so-called “conservative media”.

I don’t understand the “conservative media’s” belief that they can wage actual war on actual conservatives, attacking them and joining and justifying lynchmobs against them, and think they’re going to continue getting paid by these very same conservatives.

They aren’t conservatives and they aren’t paid by conservatives. They are Fake Right media actors paid by billionaires and lobbyists to play the role of the Authorized Opposition.

It’s what they do. The one thing they always counsel avoiding is triggering the Left. Because then, of course, you might be called racist.

I am touched by how fair and generous @DouthatNYT is:

a) The Right must ensure their teenagers never express themselves in ways that offend the Left’s sensibilities.

b) In return, liberal media Leftists should wait for a day before doxxing anyone who violates the previous rule.

At this point, I just completely ignore anyone and everyone who makes a point to virtue-signal their self-proclaimed non-racissness. If you do that, you’re just totally irrelevant because you might as well be wearing a three-foot-tall blinking light that says “WILL CUCK WHEN ATTACKED”.

I don’t blame people who live in fear of being attacked by the Left. I pity them, because it is a legitimate fear and the coward dies a thousand deaths. But I don’t have any use for them either. Give me the 300 of Gideon and Leonidas every single time.

2VS is up to his usual antics again, this time on Captain Red Pill’s channel. You all already know my position on 2VS. He’s not an enemy, unlike our actual enemies he’s not out to destroy Western civilization, Christianity, or the European nations. That being said, he’s not a friend, and due to his intrinsic unreliability, he’s not even a potential ally. And while he’s a talented illustrator, he draws far too slowly to function within Arkhaven’s production process.

I’m not angry about his decision to attempt to revise his past indiscretions with regards to ComicsGate, I’m not even annoyed. I find it to all be tedious and unnecessary at this point. What happened has happened. It’s a pity, it was ridiculous, and I wish I had simply stayed well out of it, but it was probably all for the best in the end. The thing is, between building our infrastructure, fighting our legal battle with Indiegogo (which is now officially on), and continuing to innovate and get our comics out, none of us at Arkhaven has any time or interest in any ongoing Internet drama. Ethan has his own issues to deal with, as apparently there was some problem with the writer he hired, and he’s already had to push the release of his comic back so far that we may actually complete and publish all six issues of AH:Q before Cyberfrog ships. Why he wants to keep going on and on about ComicsGate makes no sense to me.

2VS: Vox Day is somebody who I really, really enjoyed my acquaintance with. I didn’t really know him — like, I didn’t know his beliefs — but what I did know is that he was kind of Alt‑Right, and he decided he wanted to come in and fight these SJWs in comics without having known anything about comics, and he put out this crowdfunded comic book called Alt★Hero.

She was wearing, like, a Confederate flag for a costume. She was a hot chick. It was everything meant to trigger social justice warriors. Now, my attitude was, look, you don’t want to fight the extremes with an extreme; you want to offer a moderate — you want to offer a centrist alternative to get all the audience, get all the customers. Yeah, you know, something that was my plan. His plan was just to be the opposite side. So we we fought about that for a little while. I had him on my show, interviewed him, you know. I don’t know … we kind of talked. We formed kind of a weird kind of friendship over the telephone. And then what happened was he decided that what he wanted to do was he wanted to make a publishing imprint called ComicsGate.

CRP: Oh, now I remember. So he stole your name?

2VS: Well, it’s not my name. It’s just a hashtag. But in point of fact, you know, it’s like there are people who consider themselves ComicsGaters who just didn’t want the forced association with Vox Day. The idea was that the hashtag belongs to everybody and nobody, and you can’t really — like, if you’re gonna — if Vox Day is going to publish a comic book company called ComicsGate, the implication is that, you know, ComicsGate is Vox Day’s belief system.

And people had a real, real tough time with that and didn’t want him to co-opt the movement. So I talked to some lawyers, and they said, “You do a YouTube show called ComicsGate Live, you actually own the copyright to the name ‘ComicsGate’.”

CRP: Oh, wow.

2VS: “Well, that’s like …”

CRP: Shit.

2VS: “… because you monetized it first.” So I hit Vox day with a ‘cease and desist’ and threatened him with a lawsuit and we’ve had problems ever since, he and I. But I told him, you know, when he told me he was gonna do this, I said, “Vox” — and these are magic words coming from me — I said, “Vox, as a friend, don’t do it.” And he just ignored me and went on to a Livestream and announced it. Now, if I say to you “as a friend”, and you go against that, I’m asking for a favor like that, and you just defy it … you turn, you know … I can either owe you a favor or we’re gonna become enemies; it’s one of those two things. That’s the way it works in my world. That’s the way it’s always worked in my world. So if I say to you, “Coach Red Pill, as a friend, don’t do that to me” — don’t do this, don’t do that — and you do it anyway, you’ve become my enemy, because I rarely say things like that. I don’t make requests to people, but I knew this was gonna cause all kinds of trouble. And it has.

I mean, it’s a shame. So Vox Day went on a whole tirade, trying to smear me and calling me two-faced and everything. I’m very much singularly-faced. I asked him not to do this because I felt that it would hurt the movement that we’ve been working so hard to nurture and build into something, and he chose to try to co-opt it, I think, for his own reasons, which I don’t want to speculate about. But anyway, Vox Day also has gone after Jordan Peterson. Just, I mean, total … sorry. The book 12 … well, yeah, like he … I think so … I think he had some good points. I actually told him. I said, “I gotta say, I’m friends with Jordan Peterson. I like him. But you did a good job. I mean, I think you did point out some of his foibles and weaknesses.” Yeah, you know, good on him. But, you know, you got to be honest with people even if you … yeah, even if you don’t agree with them about everything. Even if you’re in a fight, man. When they get one over, you gotta kind of acknowledge. It’s humility, you know. You got call ’em like you see ’em, you know, not like you’d like to see ’em, you know?

CRP: No, I’d … Look, in so far as Vox Day … I have no opinion about him. I have never interacted with the guy, you know … but in so far as what you said earlier, that he wanted to do a comic book character who would, like, trigger the SJWs, trigger the Libs, right? All right. Here, with you, I agree that it has to be something that will appeal to the normies, to the broad middle.

2VS: That’s the only way to beat them.

CRP: Yeah, and to go for the extreme? No. You just create a caricature. Not a cartoon in a cool way. Like, you do, but like a character in the sense of a very small niche audience is gonna care about that shit, you know. And if you’re a businessman, because you are and I used to be involved in commercial art, okay? I mean, I was writing stuff for money. I just, you know, not not for accolades. I could give a shit about that. I was, you know, it’s something that I was remunerated for, the same for you. You do comic books for money. It’s a profession. It’s a job. It’s a perfectly respectable profession. And so the idea of doing something that will only appeal to a niche seems to me counterintuitive. You want to appeal to as broad an audience as possible. And sometimes you recognize that you have to put in elements that will appeal to a niche who will be like the hook for the bigger fish of the wider audience if you will, to make a very crude or weird metaphor, but you seen I’m saying. I mean it’s all perfectly fine, but you’re trying to appeal to as broad an audience as possible, and that I think what Vox Day is doing, it’s just not appealing to me.

2VS: He can do it. I mean, you know, the thing is, Vox Day can call himself … there are people in the chat that are, like, you know, Vox Day fans that are outraged right now. This guy HorseMumbler1 one says, “Ethan is lying, Coach Red Pill. Go listen to what Vox said about it at the time. The ComicsGaters acted like a bunch of half-wits.”

Well, HorseMumbler1, you know, I mean, I think we’ve litigated this to death, but I mean, I have the receipts, and, you know, Vox knows that I’ve got the receipts. And by the way, since then Vox has come to me asking for some favors. I want you to know that.

CRP: What kind of favors?

2VS: No … no comment … so, you know, Vox has his way of spinning a tale, of spinning a yarn. I wouldn’t necessarily think that what Vox had to say …

By the way, Vox is so smart about some things and so fucking dumb about other things, it’s unreal. Like, he recently got his fans all together to explain to them why his model for the comic book industry was so much better than mine. I mean, I’ve lived in comics for 25 years. But what he did was he took Cyberfrog, and he said, “Look, Ethan’s raised $628,000 for Cyberfrog, so why don’t we divide … you know, the main book is 48 pages long. Divide 48 into 628,000, that’s how much each page costs of Cyberfrog to make. Ethan needs this. He needs $15,000/page to draw Cyberfrog. Now, on the other hand my book over here, Alt★Hero, brought in $25,000. Divide 48 into 25,000, we’re bringing it in at $500 a page, so obviously our model is much more economic and makes more sense.” Because I was like …

CRP: You raised pre-sales, pre-sales of the book, right?

2VS: It’s called profit, Vox. It’s not … I make more per page than you. I don’t require that much. I can draw it for free. But, you know, it’s like saying, “How the hell is JK Rowling gonna write another Harry Potter book?” You know, her first book earned $117,000,000. Divide that by 500 pages. It’s too expensive to write another Harry Potter book. Most half-witted and weirdo argument that he was making to his credulous audience, and, uh, you know, they’re here.

I mean, you know I love you guys. But anyway the point is that, you know, their complaint is that did I gatekeep Vox Day? No, he just wasn’t … I wasn’t gonna let him have the name ComicsGate if I had any legal protection over it, which I did, and he knew that. But, you know, it’s everybody’s. It’s just not Vox’s exclusively, let’s put it that way. I saved it for everyone.

CRP: So right now it’s sort of like, you have the rights to it, but you’re basically standing aside so anybody can use it?

2VS: That’s correct, okay. Vox Day can say, “I am ComicsGate,” and I will say, “Okay, Vox, they can have a YouTube show called ComicsGate, and I’ll say, “Okay,” and everybody will, but if Vox Day wants to set up a publishing … like a monetized publishing arm that makes it look as though he represents ComicsGate, I’m not gonna let that happen, because ComicsGate is just a hashtag that everybody has to be able to use, and it doesn’t imply association, like, unwanted association with any one individual. It can’t be political like that. People can’t perceive it to be Alt-Right. It has to be moderate. It has to be everyone. Now, the Alt-Right can be involved if they want. The Alt-Left can be involved. It doesn’t really matter. It’s just ComicsGate … the idea is that there are no politics. It’s apolitical. It’s all about money. It’s all about serving the customer. It’s the opposite of the mainstream of the comic book industry right now.

With regards to my asking Ethan for a favor, it’s absolutely true that I did recently ask him for something through a third party, something that is in literally everyone’s interest, and I can confirm that he had the decency and the good sense to provide me with what I requested. As I have repeatedly said, he is not the enemy, and I would not hesitate to return the favor. I also should point out that contra some of the comments in last night’s Darkstream, it’s very clear that Ethan did NOT accuse me of ripping of Taleb, which everyone here knows perfectly well that I did not do. In fact, Ethan doesn’t even appear to be familiar with Taleb in the first place.

Did you hear that Vox Day fans I use one of Vox’s words anti fragile is Talab invented that all the time yeah yeah yeah well anti fragile is a concept that Nassim Taleb invented which is very very astute concept but yeah it’s basically a system that becomes stronger with more use and abuse yeah Vox, they ripped that off him oh that’s funny okay I didn’t know about that.

For reference, here is the very first reference to antifragility in my 2015 bestseller, SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police.

Strategic Principle #8: Be antifragile.

I cannot too highly recommend Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s 2012 book, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, or too strongly stress the importance of applying the principles he explains in it to your life, especially if you are going to take a stand against the SJW Narrative. It should be your goal to become “a thing that gains from disorder” because disorder is the natural state of the world, particularly now that SJWs have become increasingly influential within it. Antifragility in this context means you have a maximal degree of flexibility, a high level of freedom of movement, sufficient psychological strength to withstand collective social pressure, and a lack of vulnerability to the usual SJW tactics of disqualification, discrediting, and disemployment.

On what planet could that possibly be considered “ripping off”, much less “plagiarism”, as one person characterized it?

Convergence isn’t just for SJWs. The cuckservatives are getting into the game now and propping up the Littlest Chickenhawk on a national scale:

The voice of New York, come Jan. 7, may be no more.

That’s because WABC, one of the city’s premiere, preeminent stations, is poised to boot Michael Savage — to deplatform him, in broadcast-speak, said his attorney, Daniel Horowitz, in a telephone interview.

WABC isn’t saying such; in fact, a recent news release from the station indicates Savage will be moving into a new, fresher format designed to take advantage of emerging media, one that will see him do one hour of radio alongside one hour of podcast.

But the behind-the-scenes story is a bit different.

According to Horowitz, who said he’s seen “the emails back and forth” between his client, Savage, and the radio powers-who-be, “The Savage Nation” is actually poised to go dark on WABC on Jan. 7.

And not just on WABC: Horowitz said media powerhouses in Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., are all giving the boot to Savage, as well.

Why? What’s going on?

Well, it’s not ratings, Horowitz said. And he’s right; the numbers bear the truth of Savage’s years-long radio dominance.

Take a look: “Michael Savage Proves a Ratings Tour-de-Force on Bay Area’s KSFO,” Newsmax blared in a headline in June of 2016, in a story on Savage’s domination in that West Coast market.

Then there’s this: In late 2017, Talk Stream Live listed Savage, with 14.8 million listeners, as the second most-listened to top talk radio voice in the nation, behind only Rush Limbaugh’s 16.5 million listeners — but far ahead of third place Laura Ingraham’s 6.8 million.

Meanwhile, Radio Insight reported in September that Westwood One was “shaking up its weekday afternoon Conservative Talk block” and that “Ben Shapiro To Go National As Michael Savage Cuts Back To One Hour.” The release went on to note that Cumulus just “launched Ben Shapiro on six stations in April including a live clearance on 770 WABC New York and delayed clearances on WMAL Washington DC, WLS Chicago, WYAY Atlanta and KABC Los Angeles.”

OK. So out with the old, in with the new?

Perhaps. Perhaps that’s how the radio gods might put it. But given Savage’s ratings and time-tested popularity with the people, that excuse doesn’t meet the smell test.

You can’t fool all, or even most, of the people all the time. But you can fool enough conservatives with a puppet repeating talking points long enough to make it worth your while.

This is what it sounds like:

Russell Moore@drmoore
The shuttering of the @weeklystandard is a monumental and senseless loss to the intellectual and cultural life of this country. Thank you @BillKristol and co. for almost 25 years of a great magazine. I look forward to what’s next from all of you.

It’s not for me to judge. But I have to confess, when I picture the kind of “Christian” that God says He will spit out of His mouth, Russell Moore is precisely the sort of individual I would imagine suffering that fate.

Jon Podhoretz whines about the long-overdue shuttering of a magazine that no one wanted, no one bought, never made any money, and was dedicated to the destruction of traditional America and the oppression of American Posterity.

The Weekly Standard will be no more. There is no real reason we are witnessing the magazine’s demise other than deep pettiness and a personal desire for bureaucratic revenge on the part of a penny-ante Machiavellian who works for its parent company.

There would at least be a larger meaning to the Standard’s end if it were being killed because it was hostile to Donald Trump. But I do not believe that is the case. Rather, I believe the fissures in the conservative movement and the Republican party that have opened up since Trump’s rise provided the company man with a convenient argument to make to the corporation’s owner, Philip Anschutz, that the company could perhaps harvest the Standard’s subscriber-base riches and then be done with it.

That this is an entirely hostile act is proved by the fact that he and Anschutz have refused to sell the Standard because they want to claim its circulation for another property of theirs. This is without precedent in my experience in publishing, and I’ve been a family observer of and active participant in the magazine business for half a century.

The creation of the Weekly Standard was my proudest professional moment. When Bill Kristol and I conceived the magazine at the end of 1994, our purpose was to create a publication that would help guide and keep honest the hard-charging Republican party that had scored its stunning lopsided victory over Bill Clinton’s Democrats. This putative magazine would not cheerlead for Newt Gingrich’s Republicans, but instead represent the best thinking about how to lead the country through a new conservative era. We were criticized for not being part of the team from the get-go. Indeed, after the first issue came out in September 1995, a wag at a weekly meeting in Washington chaired by Grover Norquist handed out a parody of the Standard based on the precept that we had already gone off the reservation and weren’t being properly supportive of the Gingrich era.

Note in particular how their purpose from the very start “was to create a publication that would help guide and keep honest the hard-charging Republican party.”

In other words, The Weekly Standard had precisely the same goals as Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, which is to gatekeep the American Right and prevent it from becoming too Christian, too nationalist, and too devoted to American interests.

Good riddance.

When are conservatives going to stop falling for the fraudulent figureheads appointed by those who hate the European nations, hate America, and hate Christianity? I was asked about someone named Michael Knowles in last night’s Darkstream on the fake leaders of the parade, and a cursory examination quickly revealed that he is just another deceitful charlatan in the same vein as Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, William F. Buckley, Jennifer Rubin, and every other cuckservative fraud.

Other alt-right leaders include Sam Francis, the late syndicated columnist and forefather of the movement who famously called for a white racial consciousness. Theodore Beale, the blogger known as Vox Day, who in his manifesto what is the Alt Right cites the white nationalist motto “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”, and Paul Ramsey, a white nationalist who produced and starred in a video entitled, “Is it wrong not to feel sad about the Holocaust.

Another area of agreement between the alt-right and the left is that both ultimately reject God. The Alt Right admires Christendom for uniting the European continent but rejects Christianity for its offer of salvation to all people irrespective of race. The movement’s favorite philosopher, just like the Nazis of yesteryear is Friedrich Nietzsche, who famously claimed God is dead.

This is a pack of lies from start to finish. I don’t reject God, but Ben Shapiro most certainly rejects both Jesus Christ and his Father. I regard Nietzsche with complete contempt and pay him no heed at all, but neocon favorite Jordan Peterson lauds him and mentions him no less than 43 times in 12 Rules for Life and 83 times in Maps of Meaning. And no one who deprecates Sam Francis can be considered a genuine conservative. So, in answer to those who asked me about Michael Knowles on the Darkstream, my answer is this: Knowles is a manufactured new media whore, he is a liar, and he is not on the side of truth, justice, or the American Way.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
– Isaiah 5:20

Once you catch one of these media whores in a lie, you know who and what they are, and whom they serve. FFS, stop falling for the “but he’s such an effective critic of the Left” headfake. The world is not binary, there are an abundancy of rival evils, and absolutely none of them are good.

In last night’s Darkstream, I was asked repeatedly about someone called “Michael Knowles”. I’ve never heard of the man, but I was immediately dubious because he was being praised because he “owns the libs”. It would appear my instincts were entirely correct:

The Daily Wire headquarters in Los Angeles, located on the second floor of a vaguely art deco building in Sherman Oaks, is more reminiscent of a high-end television studio than a dingy online start-up. The lobby is lined with monitors advertising Daily Wire shows, millennials chug La Croix in a well-appointed kitchen, and a full-time makeup artist is always on call. Each of the meticulously designed and personalized sets are stuffed with enough high-end cameras, soundproofing, and lighting equipment to rival the best cable-news studios—a significant investment for online shows. Currently, the site has four personalities that are promoted regularly: Andrew Klavan, an old crank they brought over from Truth Revolt; Michael Knowles, a dapper, lib-triggering troll; Matt Walsh, a dour, self-described “extremist” Christian raging against the crassness of pop-culture; and Shapiro himself. Once a month, Boreing hosts a live show in his office—an elegant man cave featuring studio lighting, a massive cigar humidor, and several overstuffed leather armchairs—where he, the crew, and a special guest smoke cigars and shoot the shit. Though the studios are Hollywood, the content is decidedly not: in one recent Daily Wire Backstage show, for instance, the hosts discussed Judeo-Christian theology, religious history, and the pathology of the sort of perpetually aggrieved liberal who thinks Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is politically incorrect. (The War on Christmas is apparently alive and well in the San Fernando Valley.)

These guys are all well-funded frauds. Think about this: why do these nobodies and non-entities keep popping up? Who is funding their Facebook and YouTube placement? Who is buying their Twitter followers. Why do they inevitably oppose nationalism and Donald Trump? Why do they constantly lie about “Judeo-Christianity”.

None of it – literally none of it – is organic or natural. Ben Shapiro is still trying to act as if he’s all about ideas, well, read his columns or his books! They are qualitatively little different from the Republican talking point columns he used to write at WND when he was a teenage political prodigy. There are no new ideas there, to the contrary, it’s been the same boilerplate for nearly 20 years.

What Vanity Fair is trying to do here is the same thing that the New York Times tried to do with the “Intellectual Dark Web”. They’re attempting to anoint their approved opposition, they are trying to choose the roster of the Washington Generals.

They can’t even manage a halfway-convincing charade any longer:

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin had just finished speaking on a panel about the “Lessons Learned” from the 2016 election Tuesday morning when this reporter joined the line of well-wishers who were handing her business cards and asking for coffee dates.

Rubin, who has been criticized by a number of conservatives for not actually espousing conservative ideas and principles, spoke on a panel sponsored by the Niskanen Center in Washington DC about how those on the Right have “wildly exaggerated” the problems with U.S. immigration. She also said the Republican Party exhibits a “blind spot towards race,” and that it “needs a new base” after it was infiltrated by Dixiecrats with the rise of Donald Trump. Rubin was joined by Bill Kristol and Peter Wehner, who agreed the right has been corrupted by Trump primarily because of the fringe racists who became mainstream within the GOP….

After the panel discussion had ended, I asked Rubin if she still considers herself to be conservative, to which she replied: “Yes, but I think the rest of the party has gone insane.”

When I tried to ask her what conservative principles she holds, she said that she “had to run” and turned away from me to continue walking down the aisle to greet other attendees.

Rubin and Kristol should be awarded their Intellectual Dark Web jumpsuits. They’ve already got the “incessantly gossiping to each other about people who aren’t there” routine down pat.

Why, oh why, didn’t Gavin McInnes just try cucking and virtue-signaling and disavowing? Then surely he would not have been SJW-swarmed and banned from YouTube, right?

Alt-right commentator and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes is now banned from YouTube for “multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement,” according to the company. At the time of the ban, McInnes, who also co-founded Vice Media in 1994 prior to his involvement with numerous nationalist causes, had over 200,000 subscribers. It is not clear which videos on McInnes’ channel led to the ban, but YouTube confirmed that the channel had exceeded the threshold for copyright strikes, leading to a “repeat offender” ban.

Oh, wait….
