Conservatives are now wagging their warning fingers at China. From SocialGalactic:

CHN can run anything to it’s most effective state. But it cant create.

That’s totally irrelevant. What difference does that possibly make concerning what the future is going to bring? Geopolitical dominance does not go to the most creative and the world has never been ruled by art and music theory majors.

It’s rather like conservatives repeatedly warning liberals that they won’t like the world they’re creating. Even if that happens to be true, so what? The changes will have already taken place.

Science and technological development is already stagnant across the West and rapidly declining. And the Chinese engineering capacity already exceeds that of the USA, which can no longer effectively build what it designs.

The concept of inevitable progress was never true and is hopelessly wrong. Forget “creating”, at this point the men of the West should be concerned about “maintaining” and “surviving”, because they are currently failing at both.

If someone had written this in a novel, you would have dismissed it as being heavy-handed and too over-the-top to be even remotely credible. EA is now using genuine Stasi agents to police gamers:

Electronic Arts’ Berlin office just entered into a troubling partnership, one that has German gamers reeling. The EA office in Berlin recently announced it was partnering with the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and its program “Keine Pixel für Faschisten” [No Pixels for Fascists]. The Orwellian program seeks to monitor political beliefs in the video game industry and among players for “racism, sexism, and anti-semitism.”

The Foundation is headed by Anette Kahane, a former agent of the East German Ministry of Security, also known as the Stasi — the repressive secret police that monitored and brutally suppressed dissent in East Germany after the Second World War. At its height, the Stasi had over 102,000 officers and nearly a quarter of a million of its own citizens spying on family members, neighbours and colleagues for wrongthink.

In a German news profile from 2019, Kahane’s activity in the Stasi was revealed through leaked documents. She was considered an excellent asset, enthusiastic in the performance of her work, and submitted intimate information to the Government on the lives of her friends, family, journalists, and even Chilean immigrants fleeing the fascist Pinochet regime. She also wrote extensive reports detailing people’s private lives, from weddings to teenager’s birthday parties.

In fairness, I suppose it can be hard to come by the necessary five-years experience thought policing required for the average Trust & Safety Council job these days.

It’s astonishing how many people across the political spectrum genuinely prefer secret police and thought crime to the possibility that someone, somewhere, might call them racist or anti-semitic.

PewDiePie serves as the latest demonstration of how those who are not dedicated to God will tend to succumb to the lures of the wicked sooner or later:

Gaming star PewDiePie has signed an exclusive deal to live-stream on YouTube, after switching to a rival platform in 2019. PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, is YouTube’s biggest independent video-maker with more than 104 million subscribers.

But he signed an exclusive deal with rival platform Dlive in 2019.

Mr Kjellberg said returning to YouTube was a “natural fit” as he looked for new ways to connect with fans.

While there is nothing wrong with a video streamer signing a deal with YouTube, this shows that if you hunger after the lollipops and fancy pants, they’ll usually find a way to lure you in to accepting their control, one way or another. Notice that PDP is even flashing the one-eye symbol; he is almost certainly under the impression that it’s just a harmless gesture, even a funny one making fun of celebrities, not unlike the black actor putting on a dress for comedic effect. But what he’s publicly demonstrating is submission to the god of this world.

Always keep both eyes open.

It’s interesting to see that both David Chapelle and PewDiePie have recently succumbed after years of stubbornly going against the stream and maintaining their independence. And it will be even more interesting to see how long it will take before PewDiePie revolts against the SJWs policing his every stream.

The Saker always has interesting and informative analyses, but the one thing he simply can’t seem to grasp is the nature of the struggle between Team Trump and the Deep State. I find this strange, since he clearly grasps the idea that there is no singular and unitary ruling elite in the West, but rather, a class of predatory rivals constantly jockeying for position:

A quick study of history shows that when exploiting elites are doing great, they all faithfully support each other, but when things start to go south, they immediately turn on each other. The best recent example of this phenomenon is the schism in the US ruling elites who, since the election of Trump, have immediately turned on each other and are now viciously fighting like “spiders in a can” (to use a Russian expression). In fact, this is so true that it can even be used as a very reliable diagnostic tool: when your enemies are all united, then they are probably confident in their victory, but as soon as they turn on each other, you *know* that things are looking very bad for your opponents. Likewise, we now see how southern Europeans are getting really angry with their northern “EU allies” (Macron seems to be falling in line behind Trump even if he uses a more careful and diplomatic language). Finally, the way the US CIA has one foreign policy, the Pentagon another and Foggy Bottom one of its own (even if limited to sanctions and finger-pointing) tells you pretty much all you need to know to see how deep the systemic crisis of the Empire has become.

My suspicion is that since the Saker is not a religious man, he does not understand the nature of the vicious fighting is quite literally a battle between good and evil, between those who worship the Christian God the Father and those who serve the god of this world.

It’s a war between those who would protect children and those who prey upon them. Which is why we can be confident that the Saker’s narrow focus on traditional foreign policy tends to lead him astray; President Trump is the only reason that the USA is not already at war with Russia, China, and Iran.

The police, like every other elite institution in the United States, have been corrupted by the Prometheans:

Stow Police Chief Ralph Marino has been relieved of his duties after a meeting with state police over the weekend, according to authorities. As NBC10 Boston reports, Marino met with Massachusetts State Police representatives Saturday at the Stow police department, the town said. After the meeting, he put himself on indefinite administrative leave and named Sgt. Darren Thraen as acting chief.

In a statement, the town said it would cooperate fully in “any investigation of Chief Marino or any other matters.

“There is no reason to believe that the activities being investigated involve or concern the operations of the Stow Police Department,” the statement said.

As the video shows, the ‘Catch a Predator’ style format of the group found the chief waiting outside of a local establishment. The chief had allegedly been exchanging text messages with the undercover vigilantes in the Predator Poachers group, who he thought was a 14-year-old boy.

The chief’s messages were gruesome in nature and illustrated his level of depravity. The chief knew that the person he was communicating with was a child. Despite the fact that he knew the person on the other end of the text was a child, the chief described his sexual desires to him, asked the child about the size of his genitals, and arranged to meet the child in a place “out of the way.”

The video starts when the chief is waiting to meet the boy, ‘somewhere out of the way.’ In the video, the man confronts Marino and attempts to identify him as ‘Mark.” Marino looks shocked and the man filming accuses the chief of trying to meet a 14-year-old boy for sex.

Predator Poachers knew that Marino was their man, as he had asked the chief to send a picture of himself to the 14-year-old boy, and the chief complied. The chief appears to be frantically scrolling through his phone in an apparent attempt to delete the conversation with the pretend boy. However, as he reportedly attempts to delete the texts, the man filming tells him that he has them all in screen shots already.

Many of the police chiefs in the USA are similarly corrupted. If you ever wondered why the Hollywood sickos never face any consequences for their crimes, it’s because all of the relevant police departments and district attorney positions for the relevant jurisdictions are similarly controlled.

And this is why so many child abuse and other criminal complaints go nowhere. There is no legitimate police or justice system in the USA. They are there to serve globopedo, not the public. Notice that the police chief hasn’t even been arrested yet, he’s merely on “administrative leave”. The only reason he might not get away with it is because the group that exposed him is private and the story has gone national.

Corona-chan is believed to have the potential to break up the Fourth Reich:

European leaders warn coronavirus could lead to the breakup of their union. The coronavirus pandemic, with its simultaneous health and economic crises, is deepening fault lines within Europe in a way some leaders fear could prove to be a final reckoning.

The cohesion of the European Union had been battered by Brexit, bruised by the political fallout from the 2015 migration surge and the 2008 financial crisis, and challenged by rising autocracy in the east that runs contrary to the professed ideals of the European project.

Now, if Europe’s leaders cannot chart a more united course, the project lies in what one of its architects described this week as “mortal danger.”

This pandemic is best pandemic! Thank you, Corona-chan!

As I have previously mentioned, civilization is the art of permitting large numbers of people to live in close proximity without dying like flies. It is now evident that civilization, not merely Western or French civilization, but the very art of civilization itself, is failing in France:

While French Covid-19 lockdown rules declare fines of nearly €4,000 for citizens repeatedly flouting quarantine, a secretary of state has reportedly admitted poor, gang-riddled suburbs will be left to their own devices.

As President Macron declared France at war with the coronavirus, public health officials and those on the frontline applauded what looked like decisive leadership… but the reality is a hotchpotch of Gallic double standards that undermine any attempts to put a lid on the spread of Covid-19.

Because French police understand that they don’t have much chance of enforcing the draconian measures on freedom of movement with which everyone in France is expected to comply on those citizens living in the poverty-stricken banlieues that outly the larger French cities.

As the emergency services union Synergie-Officiers pointed out on Twitter: “It is illusory to think that certain individuals in ‘sensitive neighborhoods’ comply with good citizenship in the state of the current legislation.”

The accompanying video shows two police vainly trying to disperse a growing gang of youths as the threat level creeps higher.

To paraphrase Ivan Drago, if they die, they die. Why shed any tears, or even lift a finger, to try saving barbarians from themselves. They, too, have free will. And they have the right to live how they prefer to live.

If the French are dumb enough to permit barbarians to live among them, then they have chosen the obvious and inevitable consequences and should be permitted to suffer them accordingly.

The urban rich are beginning to discover why all the rich Romans maintained country estates to which they retreated during the summer plague months:

Wealthy families desperate to escape the coronavirus crisis in London are fleeing the infested city for the country – with some offering up to £50,000-a-month for a rural sanctuary.

British estate agents have been flooded with requests from the super-rich searching for mansions with bunkers, Cotswolds manor houses and uninhabited Caribbean islands to buy. And aristocrats, heiresses and society models are avoiding busy cities like London by staying at their gorgeous countryside homes – including the likes of Emma, Viscountess Weymouth and Lady Mary Charteris.

It comes as London faces plunging deeper into lockdown within days – and potentially with just 12 hours notice – amid fears the ‘superspreader city’ is driving the UK’s Covid-19 crisis.

One thing the open borders and human equality crowds have never understood is that civilization is little more than the art of permitting large numbers of humans to live in close proximity without dying like flies. Import too many barbarians and it won’t be long before that art is lost.

In fact, the modern human life expectancy has not significantly increased in two thousand years when compared with the average lifespan of a rural Roman who survived childhood.

The Z-man inadvertantly explains the central importance of Christianity to Western civilization and Western societies:

Stupidity has a cost. Every society, even small ones, pay a stupid tax, a price for believing and repeating things that are false. Inevitably, all facts result in some action, so the falsehood, assumed to be fact, will lead to an action. That action, based in an untruth, will come with a price. Maybe the price will be small, like women wasting money on tarot card readers. Maybe it will be high, like putting women into positions of authority based on the lunacy of feminism.

Further, the stupidity of false notions is not universal. Dumb people believe in ghosts and magic, while smart people fall for things like libertarianism. Belief in ghosts may be silly, but it is generally harmless. Crackpot ideas like communism and libertarianism, on the other hand, are very dangerous. It turns out that who is passing around the counterfeit idea counts for as much as the idea itself. Smart people falling for dumb ideas is far more dangerous than dumb people being dumb.

Like money, there are at least two qualities popular nonsense. One is the volume of it in circulation and the other is its velocity. The volume seems pretty obvious. At the extreme, if everything people think is true is actually false, they will not be around very long before they act in such a way that ends their existence. An example would be the Xhosa cattle-killing movement and famine of 1856. There is an absolute limit to the amount of stupid any people can indulge.

The less a society is devoted to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, the more it will subject itself to the inevitable and unavoidable costs of stupidity. The reason that the wicked always stumble in the end is that their rejection of the True is applied stupidity, and the acceptance of their self-serving falsehoods relies upon the very stupidity of the masses that prevents societies from functioning.

The Boy Scouts of America put a new spin on “go woke, go broke” in filing for bankruptcy:

The Boy Scouts of America has filed for bankruptcy protection. Facing mounting legal costs from defending itself against lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of boys, the venerable nonprofit sought Chapter 11 protection in a court filing early Tuesday.

A spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America said in a statement that the filing had “two key objectives: equitably compensate victims who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue carrying out its mission for years to come. The BSA intends to use the Chapter 11 process to create a Victims Compensation Trust that would provide equitable compensation to victims.”

The Boy Scouts said that only the national organization had filed for Chapter 11 and that local councils that provide programming and other services are financially independent.

It’s  impossible to feel any sympathy for these suicidal organizations. Once you allow infiltration, cooption is only a matter of time. The remarkable thing is that they still managed to permit this infiltration despite the language of the very Boy Scout’s oath.

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. 

Of course, as we’ve seen, mere words are insufficient to keep out the inverters, who simply redefine strong to mean weak, awake to mean asleep, and straight to mean gay. This is yet another lesson in why one must always sink the ships.
