#Arkhaven INFOGALACTIC #Castalia House
Dark Lord Designs and Cryptofashion have created what can only be described as a winning new design for sale. And yes, Trumpslide 2020 shirts are on the way. So much winning! It’s a nice way to soft-trigger those who inquire about what sort of winning is involved, at the wearer’s option.
Last year I mentioned that I believed 2016 was going to be “absolutely extraordinary”. And it turned out to be exactly that, as the God-Emperor Ascendant’s unexpected success in the early primary turned into a Super Tuesday victory that became a nomination and eventual election. More excellent authors joined Castalia House, Infogalactic and Gab were launched, I finally got some new Selenoth out the door, and Milo became the bestselling author on all of Amazon. Incredible.
In 2016, Vox Popoli had 25,817,343 pageviews and Alpha Game 5,332,285 for a total of 31,149,628
Google pageviews. The blogs are now running at a average rate of 85,341 daily pageviews, up from an average 56,923 last year. The running annual pageview totals are as follows:
2008: 3,496,757
2009: 4,414,801
2010: 4,827,183
2011: 5,969,066
2012: 7,774,074
2013: 13,111,695
2014: 15,693,622
2015: 20,776,969
2016: 31,149,628
I very much appreciate the part you have all played in making that happen. On Twitter, I picked up an additional 21,000 followers, but that has proved irrelevant since I stopped using it in favor of Gab, where I now have 14,006 followers. We’ve been making so many server-related changes at Infogalactic of late that the statistics are a bit wonky, but it already has average daily traffic in excess of 90,000 pageviews. The Burn Unit is now 173 subscribers strong and we’re hoping to increase that to 1,000 by the end of the year while making serious progress in Phase Two. Dark Lord Designs now features 11 different t-shirt and sweatshirt designs in a variety of colors.
Castalia House grew from 37 titles, including 5 in print and 1 in audiobook, to 65, with 19 titles in print and 8 in audiobook. Book sales increased 54 percent, with print now accounting for 21 percent of the total. The three new editors made a big difference, although we did not get three of the books out that I anticipated releasing this time last year. This year, we’re looking forward to publishing new fiction from John C. Wright, Nick Cole, B.V. Larson and David VanDyke, Peter Grant, Mojo Mori, Stefan Molyneux, and Martin van Creveld, as well as non-fiction from Jerry Pournelle, Jeffro Johnson, Mike Cernovich, Vox Day, and Martin van Creveld.
Yes, that’s correct. Castalia House will be publishing a novel by Martin van Creveld, which I believe will be his debut novel. I think I can guarantee that the subject matter will blow everyone’s minds. Think CS Lewis meets Robert Graves. We’ll also get the Eternal Warriors trilogy out this year, in ebook and in print, as well as the three volumes that comprise the Collected Columns from my WND days. I anticipate publishing two additional non-fiction books this year, plus the complete print edition of A Sea of Skulls.
Thanks to all of you who continue to support VP and all of its various endeavors. Thanks to the VFM for your mindless obedience and ever-burning hatred for the SJW enemy, thanks to the Dread Ilk for your awe-inspiring loyalty, thanks to the Brainstormers for your support and advice, thanks to the Original Galaxians, Techstars, Burn Unit and Phase 2 donators for making Infogalactic possible, thanks to the Rabid Puppies for your gleeful and wanton destruction, and thanks especially to the entire Castalia House team of authors, editors, proofreaders, and volunteers.
We may not be responsible for the God-Emperor’s ascension, but we are, without question, making a substantive difference in many people’s lives around the world. As good as 2016 was – and it was very good – I anticipate an even better 2017, as more Dread Ilk begin to spread their dark wings, launch their own initiatives, and begin rampaging across the land. In closing, I will note that it’s inspiring to see John Scalzi courageously keeping his nonexistent chin up despite another 11 percent decline in traffic at The Most Important Blog in Science Fiction Ever, a 38 percent decline from its 2012 peak that has brought it back to late-2009 levels of traffic. So brave. Thank you for this.
You can, of course, buy the actual shirt here.
I thought you all might enjoy this from Twitter.

The BEST BASED BLOG award goes to @voxday. His blog is now on my daily required reading list.

This is the “award” that got the most responses by far. The disciples of the Supreme Dark Lord are everywhere…
All VFM who emailed me prior to noon today have received their registration emails from Gab. In the event you don’t think you have, you are advised as follows:
Many in the lists had already been sent, mostly gmails, those folks should check both their “social” and spam folders. Usually best to do an inbox search. Google is pushing our emails to both of those folders.
Remember, once you’re on, be sure to do a post with #DreadIlk and #VFM so that others can find and follow you.
By the way, @a will be appearing at the Monday Brainstorm on the Disconvergence. I’m hoping that we’ll actually have three of the major #AltTech players there. Invites will go out this evening.
UPDATE: And this is what #AltTech in action looks like. In tangentially related news, the Brainstorm invites have gone out to the Brainstormers and OGs. They’ll go out next to the VFM. Tomorrow I’ll open it up to everyone else. We can seat up to 1,000.
This is a command to the 500, to all my beautiful, slavering darlings.
Robert Evans of Cracked gets it all wrong.
One prominent figure in the alt-right is Vox Day. Day doesn’t directly threaten people, but he does regularly advocate for his readers to harass folks for him. Here’s how he advised his readers to treat women like Jessica Valenti, a writer for The Guardian whom he happens to dislike:
Open up your hate and let it pour over them. Don’t think for even one nanosecond that they don’t deserve it every bit of the criticism, of the contempt, of the disdainful dismissal that overwhelms them. They are trying to destroy Western civilization. They are trying to destroy marriage and civil society. They are advocates of child murder. They are advocates of a philosophy that makes National Socialism look merciful and Communism practical and Fascism coherent by comparison. Do not hold back. Speak back twice as hard. Speak back until they fall silent.
First, he left out the previous paragraph, which said:
What they call “harassment” and “abuse” is seldom anything more than free speech answering free speech. They have a right to speak their piece, and we have a right to speak right back. We have a right to speak back with all of the contempt, disdain, and loathing that we feel for their insane and societally suicidal ideas.
Second, and more disturbingly, he unwittingly denigrated the special relationship I have with my most loyal readers. I’m sure you will understand why I emailed him and requested a correction, as follows.
Dear Mr. Evans,
I would like to request a correction to your article of September 20, entitled “5 Things You Learn Being Attacked By The Alt-Right”. I do not direct my readers to harass anyone. While my Vile Faceless Minions have been known to flay my enemies, devour their bodies, and present me with their skulls to use as wine goblets, I can assure you they do so without direction and solely out of love for their Dark Lord.
With regards,
Vox Day
Supreme Dark Lord
Evil Legion of Evil
Should any of the VFM, or the Dread Ilk wish to correct Mr. Evans with regards to this unfortunate misunderstanding of our relationship, I am reliably informed he can be reached at revanswriter@gmail.com.
Well done, VFM. Now, keep it to yourselves.
That is all.
In case you’re wondering why the #AltRight doesn’t give a quantum of a damn about (((media figures))) crying about people being mean to them on the Internet, Mike Cernovich puts it in perspective.
Let’s look at the “harassment” issue rationally.
On the one hand, Jewish pundits have people troll them. Guess what, people troll me every day. If you don’t have a thick skin, don’t share your words and ideas with the world.
Meanwhile I have people call the police on me, report me to the State Bar, and lie about me to prevent me from giving mindset seminars. (They always fail and I always give my seminars, which happen worldwide to rave reviews.)
And as far as my friends go, I have it pretty easy.
Vox Day had to hire private security for our happy hour in Paris France, which was covered in Le Monde.
Milo Yiannopoulos had his talk at DePaul university shut down due to violence:
Milo Yiannopoulos’ event at DePaul University had to be cut short Tuesday night after protesters stormed the stage, blew whistles, grabbed the microphone out of the interviewer’s hand, and threatened to punch Yiannopoulos in the face.
Roosh had entire countries ban him from entry after the dishonest media claimed he was holding seminars on how to rape people.
Where was the outrage from the (((mainstream media)))? Where were the “free speech bloggers”?
To the surprise of no one who follows these issues, the people who virtue signal how appalled they are by “online harassment” were silent.
Mike doesn’t even realize that I’ve been dealing with online harassment from the very start. Back in 2001, I received over 100 death threats as a result of CAIR declaring me their email action item of the day in response to a pro-Israel column I wrote for WND. I didn’t cry about it, I didn’t call the FBI, I didn’t beg for mercy, and I didn’t back down.
I just let my editor know, in case any of it was directed his way, and made sure my weapons were freshly loaded and readily accessible. Everyone is going to die sooner or later, so aspire to die well and take as many of the bastards with you as you can, both personally and in reprisal.
It’s been 15 years and I still get “harassed” almost every day. But I don’t even notice it anymore, I just prepare accordingly for public events. Because Supreme Dark Lord. No protester will ever reach a stage on which I appear, as there are multiple layers of defense in depth and not all of them are apparent.
We live in the Valley of the Shadow of Death and we fear no evil, we hunt the fuckers in the Name of Christendom and the Risen Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Here we go again. This isn’t the SJW’s first attack review either. You know the drill. Let’s see if anyone can track down this “Nome D. Gerr”. If we do, we will contact his employer, as we have done before when we’ve caught an attack reviewer in action. How many scalps will this guy make, is it four or five now?

God, Robot
sad puppies find g-dthis is deja vu all over again, an offense to enjoyable fiction. reading this will contract your mind. should history repeat, the sad dawgs, with contempt for fans and bitter worship of hard core ballot rigging, will manipulate this opus died onto the slates of multiple nebula awards. as before, the mad puppies will finish 6 out of 5 on all ballots, losing to all other nominees and finishing behind write in votes for “not again”. this injection of organized religion and tea bagger nuttery into SF&F is a perversion and a waste of bytes.

SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police
KINDLE: CLEAN YOUR SEARCH ALGORITHMSthis is a scree of vindictiveness and self promotion. Somehow, probably in a manner akin to the almost success in awarding himself a people’s s/f trophy, this time waster appears in too many (and too many completely unrelated) categories of kindle recommendations. for example, just today, this book was pimped to me three times: in Moro history, in adaptionics and in economics. Motivated by apparent personal animosity, this book is gaming kindle.
Having gamed the 2014 Hugo Awards, now I’m gaming Kindle. Seriously?
Anyhow, just to make it perfectly clear, if you leave an attack review on any Castalia House book, I will unleash the Vile Faceless Minions and send them after you. If you have been insufficiently careful, if you have slipped up even once somewhere, we will doxx you, we will contact your employer, and we may even send a log of your activities to your family members. In extreme cases where your local law has observably been violated, I will personally contact the police; you will not be the first, the second, or even the third individual to be subjected to a police interrogation as a result of attacking us.
VFM, check your emails this weekend. It’s operation time. This will only require 20 of you, so if you don’t get one, don’t be surprised.
Don’t think that the SJWs are not organizing against us as well. They are doing their level best to identify all of those against whom they intend to run their usual game of discredit, disemploy, and destroy. From Mediated Feminisms: Activism and Resistance to Gender and Sexual Violence in the Digital Age at UCL Institute of Education.
Notice who they have right in the center sweet spot. Twice. Translaton: I’m not a PUA, an MGTOW, an MRA, or a TradCon, so she has no idea where to put me. And their total inability to make any sense of us, judging by their interpretive babble, suggests that the more open this culture warfare becomes, the more people are forced to choose sides, the more it will be to our advantage. And this is good, because Western civilization cannot survive social justice convergence.
