 A commenter at AC erroneously imagines that I’m attempting to sweep my past statements under the rug and hoping people will forget anything that I’ve said:

AC… will [n]ever fully admit he got taken for a ride…

They bought into a cult of personality built around Trump, and no matter how many mistakes or obvious errors in judgement Trump made, they continued to believe in the “plan”.

Right now, Governor DeSantis is hitting Big Tech where it hurts, to the best of his limited ability.

Ask yourself, why didn’t Trump do that, and more, back in 2017?

Because he was trying to draw out his enemies, or some other esoteric excuse for Trump’s bad decision making abilities?

AC is still willing to wait months, maybe years, for the impossible day when Trump retakes the throne and the bad guys all go to jail.

Vox has simply stopped talking about it altogether, as if he wasn’t obsessed with Q for 3 years running. Vox hopes no one will remember any of his former positions in 6 months.

AC still has to decompress and get over the shock of Q’s failure.

Yes, nothing adds up about the current admin, and the inauguration did not follow the standard ritual requirements.

Vox happens to be exceedingly busy with Project Asteroid and annual Castalia royalties and other things. Moreover, nothing is happening right now, and nothing has happened except that President Trump did not make his move prior to January 20, as I had assumed he would.

I haven’t conceded one single damn thing I’ve said about Q or anything else, nor will I anytime soon. And everyone, critics, skeptics, or fans, are more than welcome to quote me on everything I’ve written on this blog or in my books. I don’t have any “former position” on this matter.

I’m simply done talking to morons about it. They can go ahead and buy the mainstream Narrative if they like. I didn’t, I don’t, and I won’t. If you don’t grasp that Joe Biden is no more calling the shots today than you, me, or the dog you see playing in your neighbor’s yard outside, there is absolutely no point in my attempting to shout across the IQ communications gap at you.

Furthermore, as I have repeatedly pointed out for many months now, Q was about morale. Q was not only a resounding success, it was one of the greatest examples of successful marketing since Coke taught the world to sing in perfect harmony. The point of Q was never to be an oracle predicting future events, but to destroy trust in the media Narrative. How anyone can fail to recognize that, I simply do not understand.

Meanwhile, in totally unrelated news, Jeff Bezos just happened to resign from Amazon….

So long as one doesn’t overdo it and turn it into navel-gazing, self-reflection is always a good habit even when one doesn’t necessarily like what one sees:

Observing you stick to your position on Trump over the last several weeks, I learned something about myself; which was not good.

What I saw you doing was staking out a reasoned position and then sticking to it.  Neither the naysayers, backstabbers, fair-weather fans, trolls or “new friends” caused you to change your position.  You stayed true, until events played themselves out.

Watching all of this, I realized that I have a tendency to either succumb to external pressure and/or hedge my position in my mind.  This was evidenced by many conversations where I would say what I “hoped” would happen with Trump, but then equivocate by saying what I was “afraid” would happen.

Watching you stand firm eventually made me realize that equivocating is nothing but weakness or fear expressing itself.  I then realized this has been a pattern of mine.  It is much better to take a stand, then stick to that position with everything you have.

It became clear why taking a stand is better: by being firm, you are more likely to engage in actions to bring about that position.  By equivocating, it is far less likely you will put the effort into something you are afraid may not work out, even if you hope you are wrong.

I’m tired of equivocating and making excuses.  Thank you for demonstrating what “taking a stand” looks like.  You doing so over such a major issue, in the face of intense criticism, made it possible for me to see my own flaws. The interesting thing is that making a personal change like this requires the same steadfastness in order to succeed.

Admittedly, I happen to have an advantage over the reader, in that I genuinely don’t care what most people think. But the important thing is to understand that emotions, internal or externally imposed, don’t improve one’s analysis. The syllogism doesn’t care how you feel about it. The facts are what they are.

The reader is entirely right to dismiss self-centered equivocation. Saying one “fears” x but “hopes” y is merely autopsychological posturing meant to avoid the possibility of future criticism for being unable to predict the future with 100 percent accuracy. But no one ever has and no one can, so don’t worry about it. Run your best analysis as dispassionately as you can, stick with it, and you’ll be correct more often than not.

Note that even the correct contextual version of the famous Zhou Enlai quote is relevant to everyone’s questions about President Trump.

The impact of the French Revolution? “Too early to say.”

Thus did Zhou Enlai – in responding to questions in the early 1970s about the popular revolt in France almost two centuries earlier – buttress China’s reputation as a far-thinking, patient civilisation. The former premier’s answer has become a frequently deployed cliché, used as evidence of the sage Chinese ability to think long-term – in contrast to impatient westerners.

The trouble is that Zhou was not referring to the 1789 storming of the Bastille in a discussion with Richard Nixon during the late US president’s pioneering China visit. Zhou’s answer related to events only three years earlier – the 1968 students’ riots in Paris, according to Nixon’s interpreter at the time.

What part of “The Ride Never Ends” don’t you understand? We won’t win every skirmish. We won’t even win every battle. But we will win the war. 

Several readers have written to ask me to play theology police. One example.

You should have a talk with Owen.  He has fallen into Arianism. In one of his last streams he was ranting about Christ not being God, and never have even claimed to be God.  He said that if he had made such a claim then his death would have been justified since that was against Jewish law and punishable by death.

What part of “I don’t care what other people think” is even remotely hard to understand? While I certainly talk with Owen on a regular basis, I can assure you that theology never, ever, enters into our conversations. I am not the theology police. It is well known that I don’t care what theologians say about theology, so even the reader with the most limited intelligence should be able to grasp that I genuinely don’t care what a freaking comedian says about theology. Either talk to him yourself or leave him to stumble and bumble toward the light as best he can.

Please note that with the exception of a very small number of individuals, such as Steve Keen, Martin van Creveld, and William S. Lind, I also don’t care what Owen or anyone else says about economics or military history, just to give two examples.

Unauthorized is not Owen. It is Owen and Razor and Wranglerstar and David and Rachel and Chuck and everyone else. So, if you don’t approve of Owen, then I suggest subscribing to one of the other UATV subscriptions. And if you’re meanwhile subscribing to Disney or Netflix or ESPN, then just shut up and knock off the purity spiraling already.

 A Voxiversity viewer correctly picks up on one source of the American people’s very understandable disappointment in President Trump:

I was watching the Alpha SSH video a couple of weeks ago. – When you explained how one of the obligations of Alpha status is that non-Alphas will expect the Alpha to stand up for them I thought, “Hmmmm, so, if Trump isn’t seen to be actively and openly fighting The Steal, people who were his supporters will turn on him?”

I’ve read a lot of comments over the last few days and that seems to be what has happened with some readers. 

Am I correctly understanding what I am seeing?

Yes, precisely. It has been 48 hours and more since President Trump left the White House for Florida. People quite rightly feel abandoned, confused, let down, and even betrayed by him. This is entirely normal SSH behavior, and I expect it will eventually turn to anger and contempt if President Trump continues to remain silent or to speak in irrelevant platitudes when he appears in public.

As for me, I have not given up hope. What part of “The Ride Never Ends” don’t you understand?

One thing I’ve noticed from the Legal Legion’s battles is that the more angry, shrill, and threatening the other side gets, the closer they are to complete collapse. You’re not seeing most of the comments being left here by the shills and blackpills, but I’ve started saving them for future amusement in the event that things don’t turn out the way they all purport to believe.

Give me a fucking break. He’s down to 29{3549d4179a0cbfd35266a886b325f66920645bb4445f165578a9e086cbc22d08} total approval in national polls. Your delusional fantasies continue to amuse, though. I hope you enjoy the total Democratic control of both houses and the White House. Now eat shit, fascist.

He sounds calm and confident, doesn’t he? He’s clearly relaxed and happily anticipating all the healing and unity of the incipient Biden adminstration, right? What I’m hearing from the shills and blackpills tends to remind me of the false prophets of Ba’al, as they redoubled their desperate efforts to speak their desired reality into existence.

At noon Elijah started making fun of them: “Pray louder! He is a god! Maybe he is day-dreaming or relieving himself, or perhaps he’s gone off on a trip! Or maybe he’s sleeping, and you’ve got to wake him up!” So the prophets prayed louder and cut themselves with knives and daggers, according to their ritual, until blood flowed. They kept on ranting and raving until the middle of the afternoon; but no answer came, not a sound was heard.

– 1 Kings 18: 27-29

They’re praying to their false gods in Britain too:

Why Britain must pray that Joe Biden can hold Fortress America… as thousands of US troops prepare to descend on an inauguration like no other.

Don’t be surprised if the British government follows the example of the Dutch, Estonian, and Italian governments soon.

UPDATE: Wolf Blitzer is so sad.

I spotted these National Guard troops at a normal Washington street corner not even near the Capitol. So many streets have been closed. It reminds me of the war zones I saw in Baghdad or Mosul or Falluja. So sad.

This expert woodworker’s philosophy is vital for every Christian and right-of-center individual today:

When woodworking with power tools, I routinely ask myself, “If I fell into this tool right now, what would happen?” If the risk is too great, I reorient myself and attempt to do the job safer. There’s risk in all of it, or I could go back to hand saws and chisels. It’s all about managing risk.

I think that every Christian and conservative (or whatever political strip which is not woke) needs to ask, “What if everything I ever said, did, or where I even went was instantly exposed to my spouse, church, employer, and eventually greater world?”. 

You are standing over that dangerous tool every moment you use an iPhone, Android device, or PC. One must never stop asking that question so you understand the risks you are taking and what it means for your future.

He’s absolutely right. And it’s also important to be open about your past and present failings, in order to prevent those who dig up dirt on everyone from having any hold over you. 

And so, when you close your doors and create darkness within, remember never to say that you’re on your own, for in fact, you’re not alone, because God is within you, and your guardian spirit too. And what need do they have of light to see what you’re doing?

 In fairness, I don’t mind if they just call me SDL:

I’ve been saying for years the Democrats and the media is not our problem. Our problem is the fake Right. Many of whom in the past week are now openly naming “Vox Day” as: still pushing dangerous conspiracy theories to give people a false hope in Trump. 

This prompted several questions:

Why are these personalities tweeting multiple times: 

How dangerous it is to allow a relative to believe Trump is going to fight back. “These relatives need to be treated like crack addicts who stole from your grandmother to feed their addiction.”

If the last 4 years have been a lie, what’s another two weeks?

Interesting. Apparently the whole “He Who Shall Not Be Named” approach has been cast aside. First they ignore you, then they attack you…. 

One wonders how they would describe the “conspiracy theories” that Nancy Pelosi is pushing – TRUMP WILL NUKE DC IF YOU DON’T INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT – if they consider my simple observations to be dangerous.

You can smell their fear. And it smells delicious!

Democrats laid the groundwork on Friday for impeaching President Trump a second time, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California threatened to bring him up on formal charges if he did not resign “immediately” over his role in inciting a violent mob attack on the Capitol this week.

The threat was part of an all-out effort by furious Democrats, backed by a handful of Republicans, to pressure Mr. Trump to leave office in disgrace after the hourslong siege by his supporters on Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Although he has only 12 days left in the White House, they argued he was a direct danger to the nation.

Ms. Pelosi and other top Democratic leaders continued to press Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to wrest power from Mr. Trump, though Mr. Pence was said to be against it. The speaker urged Republican lawmakers to pressure the president to resign immediately. And she took the unusual step of calling Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to discuss how to limit Mr. Trump’s access to the nation’s nuclear codes and then publicized it.

“If the president does not leave office imminently and willingly, the Congress will proceed with our action,” Ms. Pelosi wrote in a letter to colleagues….

At the White House, Mr. Trump struck a defiant tone, insisting that he would remain a potent force in American politics as aides and allies abandoned him and his post-presidential prospects turned increasingly bleak. Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video on Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before.

He’s not even at the White House…. 

James Fox Higgens enjoyed yesterday’s Darkstream:

Another zinger of a quote from this video: “The Babelists are STILL trying to get to Heaven on their own.”

I don’t think any commentator understands the spiritual war better than Vox Day. His writing is also vastly better than his speaking. You should all really read his books if you haven’t. His On the Existence of Gods and The Irrational Atheist are two of the BEST apologetic / polemical books on the truth of Jesus Christ that I have ever read, but they are largely overlooked by Christians. He is a better apologist than William Lane Craig and John Lennox, in my opinion.

And now you understand why I decline all requests for interviews and public speeches. I’ve said everything I feel the need to say in my books. If you want to know what I think, read the books or read the blog.

Erstwhile fan KR, on the other hand, thinks I’ve gone off the deep end:

I’ve been reading you since day one of your worldnet daily column. Before Trump you used to have detailed discussions of theology, evolution, economics, politics. It was fascinating. Your comments section was full of intelligent readers offering interesting insights. I considered you a mentor and the closest thing I had to an idol.

Trump gets elected and you go full on Q conspiracy 24/7 and the posts become 90{e61d147451bc60549e96d95b5c07be35845e0345eab7ed5d54cc3d49f812ab5c} copypastas. Your commenters are imbeciles and you ban the ones who disagree with you when you post obvious bullshit. Me for example. You have become such a fringe figure that I wonder if you could ever return to engaging in debates with other internet figures as you once did if you wanted to.

So I’m curious, did you just do this to boost traffic to your blog with the Q community and sell comic books? Because nobody as purportedly intelligent as you are could honestly believe half the shit you’ve been posting. Anyone who has your purported gift for strategy and wargaming should be able to clearly see that Trump does not have control over the government, he has no governing coalition, no control over anything and he has been feckless in his appointments and weak in his use of power. All he does is tweet and throw people under the bus who support him. He has been monumentally outplayed by the opposition on an almost inconceivable scale. He will be fortunate if he’s not in a New York jail before the end of the year the way things are going. He is not some fucking god emperor. He was a speed bump on what appears to be now the final demise of America into whatever tech oligarchy comes after the republic.

Admittedly the notion that you would change the way you blog just to sell comics seems implausible because you always struck me as a man of decent moral principles. However the idea that you actually believed all that Q nonsense despite a giant mountain of evidence to the contrary seems equally so because you are not stupid at all.

The third possibility is not one I will write.

Nevertheless I just wanted to express my disappointment at losing what was once the most interesting place on the internet and one of the people I very much looked up to when I was a young man.

I haven’t changed a bit. I honestly believe everything that I have posted, although I have noticed that binary thinkers struggle to grasp probabilistic thinking and the concepts of credible but not conclusive evidence and correct syllogisms based on unconfirmed propositions. I also don’t ban people for disagreeing with me, I ban people for lying and saying that things are “obvious bullshit” when they are actually true, or at the very least, potentially true and not definitely known to be false. 

It’s amusing that he’s saying that I’m more of a fringe figure now than I was when the blog got 10 percent of the pageviews that it currently does. What we have here is the eternal curse of the midwit, who, when he can’t keep up with his intellectual superiors, would rather conclude that they are stupid sellouts than admit that he simply isn’t capable of understanding or believing what they are telling him.

I never cease to find it amazing that people claim that Q is nonsense when it is a vastly more reliable guide to current events than the ever-mutating mainstream narrative. The possibility of President Trump’s plan failing is not, and could not possibly be, evidence that the plan does not exist. Certainly Nancy Pelosi and the media believe it exists and are afraid of it, or they would not be trying to impeach him or remove him from office despite the fact that he supposedly only has 13 days left in it.

But whether it is KR’s own limitations or something else that has broken his idolatry of me, that’s all to the good. He should think for himself, even if his ability to do so is observably limited and obviously inferior to mine. And as for the idea that I’m simply trying to sell comics, well, we haven’t released a single new comic in six months.

KR’s screed may help you understand why I never take praise or fandom very seriously. The ranks of everyone’s stalkers, trolls, haters, and committed lifelong enemies are filled with people who once described themselves as the hated figure’s “biggest fan”.

A professional cinematographer examines the President’s most recent video and shares his conclusions:

I’ve been a camera and lighting man for over 10 years with experience in visual effects.   In my opinion there is a high probability that that this video is composited in post. Regarding the low resolution: If he’s getting a deep fake head transplant then the low resolution would have the benefit of smoothing out the masking around his neckline in the profile shot as well as the overly sharp and unnatural edges that outline his body and the flags in the straight-on shot. (Rotoscoping)

Low resolution would also cover up any differences in sharpness if they are compositing together two or more layers with different source resolutions. For example, a 4K Trump head onto a 1080p Trump body and podium. 

Higher resolutions allow for better motion tracking, if it is a deep fake they may have ripped the background and body from a previous speech at whatever the highest resolution was they could get. Dropped it in a 4K timeline with a rendered head and then outputted at 720 or 480 to smooth out and hide the quality disparity.  

Take a look at the background… it appears to be a still image, it’s rock solid, no digital noise at all. In my opinion there is also additional bokeh added to it. (Blur)

Lastly, there are lens abnormalities.  These are shot on longer focal length lenses, which means you will have dramatic focus falloff.  When looking at the profile shot for example, the focus falloff between GEOTUS and flags is minimal. While it is significant between the flags and the walls. However, the distance appears to be greater between GEOTUS and the flag than between the flag and walls. This is not how lenses work, at the very least the background is being altered. 

Running with the deep fake idea, it’s worth noting that this video is strikingly similar to the setup where he addressed the nation regarding voter fraud last month. By that I mean the same lighting, same angles and same lens focal lengths. That video was also the first time there was an edit which awkwardly cut to a side angle. Perhaps they deep faked this demoralization propaganda into that original video. 

What does it all mean?  I think it’s doctored

A prerecorded PR package concession speech from GEOTUS smells like total bullshit to me. Especially considering he’s been conveniently disappeared by the tech overlords since yesterday. 

If I were to speculate it seems the Deep State is trying to deflate the public. Yesterday’s happenings showed the world just how vulnerable they are when the people are determined to exact justice. They need to have our leader kneel and become diminished in our eyes before we become even more emboldened. They need our submission, it is the only way they can prevail. 

 A reader who was in DC shares his experience. I’ll write up my analysis of events later today, but based on what I’m hearing, let’s make one thing perfectly clear: while there were a few Antifa infiltrators in the crowd who were there for the sake of the media’s cameras, the Storm Troopers who cleaned out the Capital on January 6, 20201 were not Antifa. So lose the damn bow ties already and stop cucking like Senate Republicans.

I attended the event in DC today and just returned home.  I’m writing to share my observations in case they prove useful.

Got there at 545 AM to see a massive stacked line wrapping around the entire Washington monument.  That initial huge crowd blossomed into a gigantic gathering that took over the entire grounds of the monument and dwarfed the 30-40K inside the ellipse.  This was no rally.  No light-hearted festival feel.  This crowd was angry – more on that below.

A cohort of weak speakers started things off, including fairly uninspired fluff from Eric and Don Jr., a few exceptions interspersed.  The people grew increasingly restless – they wanted the plan for victory, and were there to take marching orders to achieve it.  Then Guiliani came on and explained how they watched the Georgia steal happen again last night in real time, with the exact same vote dump / Dominion vote swap after counting had “stopped.”  The kettle began to simmer. 

Finally, the usually punctual DJT stepped up 45 minutes late.  Master rhetorician that he is, he slowly turns up the heat, calls out all the weak Republicans – many by name – and alludes to the Pence betrayal which really lights up the deplorables.  Probably 15-20 minutes after he asks everyone to head to the capitol, and promises to lead us there, cell service comes back on line and everyone sees news of the Pence double cross.  It was pitchfork-and-torch time.  I don’t care if there were a few Antifa plants – that raucous team trump mob would have taken the capitol without an ounce of soyboy incitement.  If Trump had asked it, team MAGA would have taken over the entire city and burned their masks in celebration.

My summary:

• Trump knew Pence was planning the double cross
• He was testing the intensity of his support – would enough show, and would we take it to the Swamp creatures ourselves when called upon? To both he got a resounding yes.
• Disrupting the electoral certification was a bonus.  Rudy thought they needed extra time to get help from the state legislatures that were reneging on their elector certifications.
• Pence is another full-on compromised pedo Swamp creature.  All he had to do was send the dual slates back to the legislatures.  He didn’t have to count squat.
