From the transcript of the Darkstream:

The media is completely out of control now. They’re running a full-court press and they are desperate to try to somehow lay a finger on President Trump. You know the summit was a big success. He came in first to the UK and completely blew up all the plans of the Tory government to try to defang and derail Brexit, and it’s been very interesting to see how he effortlessly managed to walk in and just completely blow things up there, but the press is trying to make a big deal now about how President Trump doesn’t trust US intelligence.

And the reason that he doesn’t trust US intelligence is because US intelligence is number one, always wrong. Number two, isn’t loyal to the United States, and number three, is part of the very problem that the president was elected to solve, and that is to break the power of the globalist deep state which is deeply embedded in the US federal agencies. And so what we’re seeing here with the hysterics and the headlines “Trump’s darkest day” and all this sort of thing, it’s ridiculous.

Now maybe Trump wasn’t quite ready for it. Certainly his reaction, where they’re claiming that he tried to back off his statements and that sort of thing – maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not – but regardless, whether it is or not, there’s no way that he should be backing off the fact that he doesn’t trust the very people that have broken numerous laws and covered for numerous wrongdoings by the Democrats and other parties.

I mean the whole idea that Russia intruding in and interfering with US elections is a problem when Israel does it constantly, it’s just ridiculous. And not only that, but there is no country, not Israel, not Russia, not anyone that is more guilty of interfering in the elections taking place in other countries than the United States itself, and the United States intelligence agencies in particular.

UPDATE: Now THIS Is more like it:

President Donald Trump is claiming ‘haters’ would rather go to war with Russia than see him get along with President Vladimir Putin in what he labeled ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

‘Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!,’ he wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning.

The president abandoned any pretense of an apology for his disastrous press conference in Helsinki on Monday, in which he backed Russia’s claim they did not interfere in the 2016 presidential election over American intelligence reports that provided clear evidence Moscow meddled. His series of early morning tweets on Wednesday were defiant in their defense of his actions in Finland.

Trump turned on Brennan, the ex-CIA director who accused of treason after his meeting with Vladimir Putin, telling Fox News in an interview airing Tuesday: ‘I think he’s a very bad person.’

The God-Emperor knows what you did, Mr. Brennan. He knows who are the very bad people and he knows the very bad things they did.

You can’t think that just getting rid of of one person is going to take care of it. One person at the top of the heap is not the problem. You know the problem is once you have your corporation or your organization infested by sjw’s the only solution you have is to get rid of them all and to turn the focus of your attention to your customers. Last night when Ethan and I were talking, something I pointed out that both he and I actually do is that we both pay a lot of attention to what our core wants. You have to support the core before you start worrying about the perimeter, you know, you want to keep your core audience happy with what you’re doing.

I got a great email yesterday, it was very encouraging. We just sent Chuck Dixon’s Avalon out to our 2332 backers and this is the third issue out of the 24 that have been backed, and I got an email from one of the backers. You know, this was somebody who’s a serious backer, they’d gone for the hardcovers and they had put in a substantial amount of money in supporting what we are trying to do with Alt-Hero, and the interesting thing is that he said, hey I know that I’m owed all 24 issues and the hardcover collections and all that sort of thing, but I want to tell you that I’ve already got my money’s worth! That’s how much he liked Alt-Hero #1, Alt-Hero #2, and Avalon #1. He said this completely exceeded what I expected when I went and supported it.

And that’s what you want to hear. That’s the reaction that you want to provoke from your core audience, from your fans, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing. Can you imagine how big The Last Jedi Jedi would have been if every Star Wars fan had that reaction to the movie? Can you imagine how huge it would have been? It would have been, you know, three billion dollars at the box office! I might have actually returned to Star Wars to watch it. Yeah, I refused to watch any Star Wars movie after The Phantom Menace.

My wife and I got tickets, we went on opening night. My wife and I went with my best friend and his wife. We had actually gone to see the original Star Wars for our birthday parties for two years in a row, you know, we were huge Star Wars fans and we went and saw The Phantom Menace, walked out of it and said, you know, that was not what we were waiting for. We were happy to wait 20 years or whatever it was, but George Lucas let us down and Disney was even worse. George made the brand ridiculous, but Disney destroyed the brand. I mean, it didn’t occur to me to even consider going to see The Last Jedi or Solo. I’m not interested.

But now you don’t even think about going. It’s kind of like if I hear about a Star Wars movie, that interests me about as much as someone saying “hey there’s a new Meg Ryan movie!” You know, I would never go to see a Meg Ryan movie. It’s not something that I do, it’s not something that is of any interest to me, and now that’s what Star Wars falls into. It’s crazy, you know, it’s absolutely crazy when you consider what a huge Star Wars fan I was as a kid. I had a complete collection of all the blue card. Those of you who are really old-school know the blue cards were the original collecting card set. I also had all the red cards. I may or may not have completed the yellow card collection, and I did have some of the green cards, those were the first four type of cards that they had I think.

I actually stopped card collecting because somebody stole my blue cards out of my school desk at elementary school.

Strike that. We’re going back to Streamlabs because Google Hangouts doesn’t appear to be allowing comments. Tune in to the Darkstream channel at 11:30 AM.

By the way, Amazon finally has the print edition of Alt-Hero #1 in stock.

Cancel that. We had technical difficulties, so just join Ethan’s channel, we’ll do it there. Here is the link if you want to listen.

From the transcript of the Darkstream:

Whether you believe in the spiritual aspect of life or not,  even if you’re a rational materialist and you believe that the only things that exist are things that you can see and feel, there is no shortage of material evil that you can see and feel and use to choose the right side. What that evil is is what I call the religion of Neo Babel and the European Union is one of the centers for that ancient religion.  Now this is not a coincidence, this is a painting by Bruegel on the left of the Tower of Babel. That was how he conceived of it, and we don’t know what it actually looked like but that was just one painter’s idea of it.

Now what is the architectural statement that is being made by the EU Parliament in Strasbourg? What they are very clearly stating in a language that anyone who speaks architecture can understand is that they represent Babel. They are the new Babel, and so the connection that a lot of people don’t make, the connection that a lot of people don’t realize is that these are the same people who in the U.S. are called neocons. They’re the same people who in the old Soviet Union were called communists, Bolshevik,  and eventually, Trotskyites. The difference between Stalinism and Trotskyism in the 1930s was that Trotsky stood for world revolution.

Stalin on the other hand picked up the idea of communism in one country. Now obviously the Soviet Union was not a good place, it was not anywhere you’d like to live, it was a economic contradiction in terms, it was bound to fail. Alexander Solzhenitsyn did a good job of chronicling the evils of Stalinist communism, but the fact is was that once communism ceased to be Trotskyite, it ceased to be the primary vehicle for world revolution. And because of the growing power of the United States, because of the fact that in the United States you had the only surviving industrial economy, you know you had the only global power that had not been destroyed during World War II, that became the center of the world revolution. They don’t call it Trotskyism, they called it neoconservatism, but if you read Irving Krystol – he’s the father of Bill Kristol, the fake conservative and Never Trumper – the neoconservatives were the heirs of Leon Trotsky, they’re the heirs of global revolution, and that’s why the neocons are constantly pressing for war with everyone, but they’re particularly pressing for war with Russia because Russia has escaped their grasp. They began to lose their grasp on it thanks to Stalin.

Now people didn’t necessarily make all these connections because Stalinist communism didn’t seem all that different than Leninist communism, and so you know, as you look into this, you begin to see that globalism is not something new. Globalism is the same thing that Trotsky preached, it’s the same thing that Antonio Gramsci preached, it is the world revolution. They called it world revolution because world revolution is supposed to bring about global government. Now where this gets religious, one thing that you may have noticed – even those of you who are pagans and hate the cucked Churchians as much as I do – one thing that you may have noticed is that these people absolutely hate Christianity.

They do their best to destroy Christian institutions, they invaded and began to destroy the Catholic  Church with Vatican II, they have invaded every single Protestant denomination,  I mean even the Southern Baptists, who I would have sworn 20 years ago could not be penetrated by these these lunatics, has been. Russell Moore and the people at the head of the Southern Baptist Conference are absolutely globalists, and so you know, when you look at this, you can see very clearly that this is ultimately not merely a political clash, it is a religious war, not only is it a religious war, it is THE religious war.

Comicsgater Ethan van Sciver is pretty confident that he’s still going to be a bigger deal in comics than I am in six months. As I discuss in the Darkstream, we’ll just have to see about that….

Darkstream: I am the new Marvel supervillain. A clarification for the Alt★Hero backers was requested via email by a backer.

Just a note for future reference; you may or may not feel the need to make a clarification now. In your latest Darkstream, I am the new Marvel supervillain, around the 34:45 mark you mention the backers will receive all 24 digital editions of Alt Hero and Avalon.

The crowdfunding campaign as you know lists this for the $15 digital reader and all levels above that: “This is to receive the first six volumes of Alt★Hero and the first three volumes of Alt★Hero: Avalon in digital format when they are complete.”

I always understood this to be 9 digital editions for $15 which is a helluva deal.  However, now I’m questioning if those volumes were originally 48 pages and were each split in two, would it then be 12 volumes and 6 volumes for a total of 18? That is to the point of almost being overly generous; 24 editions for $15 would truly be preposterous.

Anyhow the best news I heard all day was that Dixon has already written 12 editions of Avalon.

I had originally envisioned 48-page digital volumes before discovering, post-campaign, that we could produce affordable 24-page print editions. So, each volume is now two issues. I also neglected to update the $15 Digital Reader reward to reflect the fact that three more volumes (six more issues) of Chuck Dixon’s Avalon were funded. But it was always my intention to provide the Digital Reader backers with all the volumes that were funded by the campaign.

So, to be clear, all Alt★Hero backers will be receiving the first 12 digital issues of Alt★Hero as well as the first 12 digital issues of Chuck Dixon’s Avalon for free. Preposterous deal or not, the entire Arkhaven team is deeply appreciative of the support Alt★Hero has received, and continues to receive, from the backers and newer supporters of the comics. The foundation we are collectively building is going to be strong enough to support an Arkhaven Comics Universe that will, in time, be capable of taking on both the Marvel and DC empires successfully. But we proceed judiciously, one step at a time.

However, I did misspeak about Mr. Dixon’s progress on writing the scripts for CDA and the usual volume/issue confusion is to blame. Mr. Dixon has actually finished the scripts for the first six ISSUES. CDA #1 will be completed tomorrow and will be going out to backers this week, CDA #2 is illustrated and is now being colored, and Frank Fosco is illustrating CDA #3 now. AH #2 will be available in gold logo print edition next week and AH#3 is being colored.

In non-comics news, Wardogs Inc. #3: Metal Monsters will be out this week and Jack Posobiec’s 4D Warfare will be out later this month as will John C. Wright’s Nowhither: The Drowned World.

From the transcript:

So the Mexican elections finished up and the results were not surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention,  but they’re certainly significant. You know the remarkable thing wasn’t that Mexico elected a pretty serious socialist on the Venezuelan model, but the massive amount of the guy won by. If I recall correctly he had nearly 60 percent more votes than his closest rival, and what I want to discuss is the statement that he made where he was talking about how everyone has a right to live in the United States. Everyone apparently is an American now. So how does somebody come up with something like this? Where does it come from? You know, why would a foreign leader say something that is that seemingly insane?

The answer is very simple. He’s not even close to being the first foreign leader who said something like this. A lot of people don’t realize it, but Moammar Qaddafi used to say exactly the same thing: America belongs to everyone, America belongs to the world. More recently the Iranian president, or former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said much the same thing. He said America is a concept that belongs to the world and no government has the right to tell people that they can’t go and live in the United States.

Now a lot of people are saying well, how can this be? How can AMLO, this Mexican president, be talking like this? They don’t know about Qaddafi, they don’t know about the Iranian president using the same language, but the reality is that this concept is directly traceable to the idea that conservatives have been using in order to try to justify their dislike for identity politics and their dislike for the idea that white Americans might have a nationality of their own, that there might be an American nation.

You know, it’s not the Mexicans, it’s not the Iranians, it’s not the Libyans, who came up with the idea that there is no such thing as an American nation. If you want to hear people talk about that you’ve got people like Ben Shapiro who will talk your ears off about how America is not a nation, America is a concept, America is a a nation of immigrants, America is a melting pot. Come on! You guys have all heard these concepts. In fact, I would be willing to bet that since this audience tends to be a bit more right wing than the norm, I would bet that at least three-quarters of you subscribed to those concepts at some point.

So I’m going to make some of you extremely uncomfortable here, because what I’m going to tell you – and this is not going to be comfortable for those of you who are US citizens – a lot of you are not Americans and you never were. Your parents aren’t, you’re grandparents aren’t, because Americans
are defined very, very clearly and the United States Constitution was written for a very specific group of people and that doesn’t include immigrants, it doesn’t include refugees, it doesn’t include the great grand children of former immigrants, it doesn’t include anybody except for the sons and daughters of the American Revolution.

From the edited transcript.

What we have to recognize when we’re talking about the Right is that the ideology that hitherto was the leading expression of right-wing politics in the United States, the conservative movement, is effectively dead. Donald Trump killed it.

And it’s not so much that Donald Trump killed it as he exposed the fact that it was an ideological zombie vampire, and the dates 1951 to 2016 that you see on the tombstone date from that first famous book of William F Buckley, the founder of the modern conservative movement, and its end with the presidential election of 2016. Because the legacy of conservativism is this: it never conserved anything! And that is the most damning thing that you can say about all the conservative organizations, all the conservative opinion leaders all the various Republican groups, all that kind of stuff, all of it was a failure. None of it conserved anything.

Conservatives couldn’t even conserve the ladies room. This is an illustration of how badly how completely the conservative movement has failed, and if you talk to a conservative, they love to talk about the Constitution, and yet what they always ignore is the purpose of the Constitution. We have seen that the Constitution has completely and utterly failed in its purpose, a purpose that is stated very clearly in the Preamble. The Preamble states that the purpose of the Constitution is to defend the rights of American posterity, and what “posterity” means is the direct genetic descendants of the people who established the country in 1789.

It does not refer to immigrants, it does not refer to refugees, it does not refer to the descendants of those immigrants who came over much later. You know, this is something that I got in some very intense discussions and arguments with various conservatives(1) who are genuinely good people, genuinely smart people, but they are entirely unable to wrap their heads around the fact that their friends, their family members, people they like, people they approve of, are not and never will be American posterity, and that the Constitution was not written for those people. It wasn’t. This is a basic fact, this is an established fact, and the amount of intellectual dishonesty and self-deception that one has to engage in in order to deny the very clear meaning of these words is rather remarkable.

So you know, now we see the same concept being expanded further and further, and what’s funny about conservatives is that while at the one hand they push away and they deny the actual historical meaning of various concepts, they also try to deny the obvious consequences of their own positions. You know, if you’re running around saying that because all men are created equal that 19th century immigrants therefore equal and their descendants therefore qualify as American posterity, then you cannot deny the position of Iranian president Ahmadinejad who says that America belongs to all the world and that the American government does not have any right or  any ability to deny the movement of people into the United States of America. That is the absolutely correct logical conclusion to the conservative argument.

(1) In the public sense, this primarily refers to my debate on Posterity with Tom Kratman. If you take issue with any of my assertions here, I strongly recommend that you read it first before commenting on this issue.

I really, really do. I mean, I understand it is necessary to reach a broader, post-literate audience, and I am committed to mastering the medium eventually, but I genuinely do not understand how these morons can so confidently, and so publicly, take the absurd positions they do.

Κέννυ Αντονέσκου
All you seem to do is just say “this won’t work because its not applicable to X” and other statements that you do not back up with logic, reason, evidence, etc. Maybe your brain-dead followers won’t challenge what you are saying but I will, unsubscribing from you because you are obviously a pseudo-intellectual who constantly brags about how you have super high IQ when its clear you are not high IQ.

Perhaps if he was able to read, or obtain material from some other medium, he would understand that I reliably back up my assertions in what is generally considered to be comprehensive detail. He doesn’t seem to be aware that there is considerably more information available beyond that which is presented on YouTube in the Darkstreams.

It’s like someone told these morons that all you have to do is say the magic words and declare that it seems like someone doesn’t back up a statement with logic, reason, and evidence, and this will suffice to not only disprove the statement, but also permanently disqualify the source. He quite clearly doesn’t understand that saying X won’t work because it’s not applicable to Y is, in fact, a logical syllogism. I really wish he was telling the truth about unsubscribing and not watching future videos, but we all know what the chances of that are.
