The Daily Wire May Be Bankrupt

It looks like cutting off that USAID money may be taking down one of the premier “conservative” gatekeeping operations, The Daily Wire

A new rumor alleges that The Daily Wire is going bankrupt.

This rumor comes from Ian Carroll and comes immediately following co-CEO Jeremy Boreing announcing he was stepping down as co-CEO and would move into an advisor role working on creative endeavors such as The Pendragon Cycle. Following this announcement, Carroll shared to X, “The Daily Wire is going bankrupt allegedly and Jeremy Boreing is officially out as CEO.”

He went on to add, “It has not yet broken as far as I am aware that private equity is moving in and looking to buy up The Daily Wire. I heard, rumor mill, that Silver Lake Capital is looking to buy them up.” Carroll then indicated there is a lot of skullduggery happening behind the scenes at The Daily Wire including, “cancelled credit cards, lying to the press, [and] trying to trick Tim Pool.”

Later in his video, Carroll claims that Boreing was forced out of the company and “they are not letting Jeremy Boreing back in the building right now apparently. Jeremy Boreing was 100% allegedly forced out, not a willing leave.” He went on to detail that this was because of financial mismanagement and the company’s lack of funds that forced them into a hiring freeze because “there was no money in the bank allegedly.”

The Daily Wire was always, from the onset, a fake operation of intellectual charlatans being propped up by Clown World money to provide controlled opposition to the mainstream. The whole point was to draw attention away from the real opposition, and it worked very well, at least if all the fake numbers are any guide.

What Three Years Hath Wrought

Three years ago, three reporters in the Swiss media publicly defamed me and one of their accusations concerned the fact that I pointed out Clown World was the aggressor and the cause of the Ukraine war, that it was absolutely retarded for the European nations to intervene on behalf of a country with a foreign regime put into power by a US neocon coup, and that it was grandiose stupidity for the Swiss government to throw away the centuries of neutrality that protected the Swiss people from the wars that harrowed Europe in order to join the side that was absolutely guaranteed to lose the war.

On the war in Ukraine, his opinion is just as clear-cut: the aggression is the work of “the imperial USA”, which has put Russia in a situation of compulsion. He calls the West “Clown World”, while Russia would represent “Sovereign World”. At the end of February, he titled his blog, “Grandiose stupidity in Switzerland” and criticized the fact that the President of the Confederation Ignazio Cassis has sided with the European Union sanctions.

Three years later, all of my observations been born out in spades. The US and European sanctions have proven worse than useless. The United Nations Security Council has refused to condemn the so-called “Russian aggression” that was the inevitable response to the military expansion of NATO to its borders as well as the brutal assaults on the Russian people of the New Russian republics who had been seeking self-determination. And European leaders, such as former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl are already beginning to admit that Russia has won the war.

It had been said that Russia could allegedly be smashed on the battlefield, that it would fall to the Middle Ages level, that the Russian society would be ruined. However, that never happened. No mass riots that Europe expected or would like to see, ever happened either. We often heard that the country was going to fall into 40 new states, but it never happened as well. Taking the mentioned factors into consideration, I think that yes, Russia has won.”

And most importantly, the fact that the Ukrainian war was only one battle in the ongoing war between Clown World and the Sovereign World represented by Russia, China, and now America, has been underlined by the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas.

We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor [sic]. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

The irony of the unelected Eurocrats who hate democracy, hate their own people, hate Christianity, criminalize free speech, and rule over their subjected people as the puppets of Clown World calling themselves “the free world” is satanic inversion at its most obvious. And the significant point of her statement is that thanks to President Trump, aka the God-Emperor 2.0 (may he reign 3,500 more years), America has finally, like Russia and China, begun to free itself from the wicked rule of Clown World.

And the Eurocrats will fail in their quest to raise up a new leader of Clown World because the European peoples are finally beginning to see through all their lies. They promised peace, unity, and wealth, and delivered war, diversity, and economic devastation. It will not be long before their masters throw them from their high horses. But until then, they will continue to invert and subvert the truth, because their retardery knows no limit. Their irrationality is rapidly approaching levels last seen when an Austrian was hiding from Russian tanks in a Berlin bunker.

French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in Portugal that “I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.”

UPDATE: The people have asked for it, and they shall receive.

The Glorious History of GG

Grummz praises the OGGers and the consequences of #GamerGate.

It’s time to take credit.

Gamergate really did change the world.

It was the first time normies (like I and others used to be), woke up to how corrupt our journalism was.

We fought back so hard that social media spent millions developing censorship tools to stop us, which were then weaponized against the mass populace.

There IS a gamergate playbook and it is this: TRUTH. We used TRUTH and social media to spread the word, through epic meme battles and more.

We gave rise to the Right media. So many pundits on the Right came from GG and got HUGE.

We helped get Trump elected the first term, because Trump called the media “fake” and that was the GG banner. We wanted it fixed.

We crushed AAA gaming last year and forced Ubisoft to their knees.

We may not be called Gamergate anymore, we may have been smeared and pushed into a corner for years as social media banned us all, but we are the keyboard warriors of truth and we have won the long game.

Now let’s keep going!

Indeed. As it happens, the final track on the SOULSIGMA album is THE RIDE NEVER ENDS, a tribute to GamerGate and all of its leaders, of whom, of course, I am one.

The Conservative Media is Fake

The so-called conservative media not only isn’t a genuine alternative to the mainstream media, since the days of William F. Buckley it has always been a neocon psy-op meant to derail American nationalism and prevent any genuine American nationalist media from being formed in reaction to the growing awareness of Clown World and rejection of it.

In the first New York Post article the day after Ashley St. Clair announced her baby with Elon Musk, she claimed that she didn’t initially have an “much of an interest in Elon” until after she met him in May 2023 at an interview at Twitter HQ. But there she is on May 2nd, 2023, telling @IsabellaIsMoody that she wants to be funny for Elon in order to have his “rocket babies.” This date is important.

That meeting with Elon Musk at Twitter HQ was on May 22–3 weeks after telling Isabella she wanted Elon’s babies. IOW, she lied in the Post article about not being interested in Elon until after she met him. Strange. It looks like she’s constructing a false narrative to make it look like their romance was innocent & spontaneous after having met. Why would she need to do that unless it wasn’t actually innocent & spontaneous?

But the plot thickens a little more. Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee, is the one that facilitated her meeting Elon IRL. He had her fly out for that Babylon Bee interview with Elon, as Ashley noted in the Post article and confirmed by Ashley’s own tweet from May 22, 2023.

But Ashley wasn’t ultimately pictured in the Bee’s announcement of the interview with Elon, nor did she participate in the video interview itself at any point. This sort of begs the question: why did Seth Dillon fly her out to meet Elon?

Is it because Dillon is part of an israeli influence operation himself as some–including myself–have suggested?

We already knew the Babylon Bee is fake opposition that gatekeeps Christians. That’s been obvious for some time now, ever since the guy who bought it from its founder unmasked himself. But the extent to which its subversive activities go, and its apparent influence over other fake media conservatives, was not previously suspected.

It appears there is little strategic difference between Epstein, Disney, Jordan Peterson, the Daily Wire, and the Babylon Bee, except for their target populations.

The Damage is Profound

The most important thing to note about President Trump’s return to the White House is the way in which it completely confounds the arguments that Republican moderates and conservatives alike have been making since 1988, which is that chasing the electorate left is the way to win elections and gain popularity. The New York Times is panicking over the disarray in which the Democratic Party finds itself.

Patrick Healy: In my 20-plus years writing about politics, I’ve never seen the Democratic Party in such trouble nationally. They lost the White House and Senate and are seen unfavorably by record numbers of voters and out of step on key issues, according to recent polls. I think part of this is a trust problem — you still hear from independents and even some Democrats that the party tried to pull a fast one on America by circling the wagons around a cognitively diminished president and then subbing in a new nominee whom voters didn’t pick. I think the damage to the party is worse — and maybe longer lasting — than Democratic leaders may realize, and these problems make it harder for the Democrats to persuasively counter President Trump. How do you see the state of the party?

Michelle Goldberg: I agree that the damage to the party is profound, but I’m not sure there’s reason to think it will be lasting. After 2004, another devastating election for Democrats, absolutely no one would have predicted that Democrats would triumph four years later by nominating an urbane Black first-term senator from Chicago whose middle name was Hussein. After Jan. 6, many of us naïvely thought that Trump’s brand was irreparably damaged. The one constant in American politics, it seems to me, is that things tend to change faster than people predict. The last Trump administration ended in absolute mayhem, and the signs so far suggest that this one will be worse. I’m not sure how much anyone will be thinking about Joe Biden’s age in 2028, or even 2026.

Bret Stephens: Democrats don’t seem to realize how profoundly out of touch they are with that segment of America that they can’t identify through a collection of letters or neologisms: BIPOC, L.G.B.T.Q.I.+, A.A.P.I., the “unhoused,” the “undocumented” and so on. They have lost themselves in forms of identity politics that divide Americans into categories many don’t recognize or from which they feel excluded. And I don’t just mean white, male, Christian Americans. For example, ask many Hispanics what they think of the term “Latinx,” a nonsensical term in a gendered language like Spanish, and you might begin to grasp why more than 40 percent of Hispanic men voted for Trump. Similarly, ask many feminists what they think of the term “birthing people” or “persons with vaginas” and you might risk a well-deserved slap…

Stephens: Democrats tried the politics of “resistance” against Trump by painting him as a beyond-the-pale threat to the constitutional order. Maybe that’s right, but I don’t think it’s effective. 

People want leadership, and followership is not leadership. The stronger the horse, the more it pulls people in the direction that it is going. And President Trump is a very strong horse indeed.

They’re Not Independent

Clown World’s propaganda organs in Ukraine and Russia are going under because the USAID money pipeline has been cut off:

The suspension of USAID has had a dramatic effect on both Ukrainian and Russian independent news outlets that relied on the grants to operate and produced work often critical of their governments.
The program that provides billions in U.S. assistance internationally is better known for its humanitarian and medical work, but the funding has also been used for democracy promotion as well as supporting journalism.

Ukraine’s independent media, a collection of small regional outlets, muckraking investigative websites and internet news platforms, have been reeling since the announcement, with some organizations saying that they are just weeks away from slashing staff or closing down entirely.

“We risk losing the achievements of three decades of work and increasing threats to Ukraine’s statehood, democratic values, and pro-Western orientation,” Detector Media, a journalism watchdog, said in a statement on its website last week.

In the immortal words of Chuck D from Public Enemy:

Shut ’em down. Shut ’em down. Shut ’em, shut ’em down.

Forbes on The Folio Society

A gushing Forbes article on the importance and elegance of deluxe books:

When Joanna Reynolds first became CEO of The Folio Society in 2016, the London-based publishing company known for its beautifully illustrated hardcover editions of classic books had been steadily losing money for a decade and was on the verge of being sold. “It kind of lost its way,” Reynolds, a veteran of Time Life Europe and Reader’s Digest, tells me over Zoom. From its post-war inception in 1947, Folio operated as an annual book club, with members signing up to receive four titles a year. “That model everywhere had kind of died, really,” adds Reynolds. “So we [made] a complete change.”

That 21st century innovation not only required the phasing out of an obsolete business model, but also the expansion of what Folio could publish in terms of genre (i.e. moving into science fiction, fantasy, and children’s content), the number of books it could release a year (from four to between 40 and 50), and how those books were marketed to the public.

Most important, however, is maintaining a brand associated with handcrafted beauty and elegance. Every deluxe edition put out by Folio is made with the intention of having the resultant tome occupy prime real estate on a book lover’s shelf for years to come. Such commitment to visual sophistication attracts acclaimed authors, artists, and even fellow publishers like Marvel Entertainment.

Still, I couldn’t help noticing that the Forbes article left out one rather significant element that one would think would have been both timely and relevant.

Neil Gaiman has been removed from UK agent Casarotto Ramsay & Associates’ client list after the Good Omens writer has faced a string of sexual misconduct allegations over the past six months. The change to Casarotto Ramsay’s client list comes amid a wave of creative partners severing ties with Gaiman and his work. Anansi Boys publisher Dark Horse Comics has dropped the once-celebrated writer, while a UK stage production of Coraline was canceled this week.

The Terry Pratchett Estate has now cut ties to Gaiman as well. Apparently pTerry’s heirs have had their fill of Gaiman attempting to trade on a close friendship that was, at the very least, greatly exaggerated, if not entirely fabricated. A one-time co-writing experience is seldom indicative of being bestest buddies, especially when one of the co-writers a) did most of the work and b) is observably disinclined to ever repeat the experience.

Below is a screenshot of the Folio Society’s website from this very morning, only six months after the beginning of #GaimanGate. The reason all the novels by other authors are on the list of 32 (!) Gaiman-related books is because Folio asked Gaiman to provide their deluxe editions with forewords and introductions, although what a mediocrity like Gaiman could possibly have to say about Gene Wolfe defies belief. Now, doesn’t it seem a little odd that Forbes didn’t even ask Folio about this apparent contradiction between their oft-expressed social justice values and the particular authors they choose to feature?

The Russians Knew

Vladimir Putin admits that the Russians knew the 2020 election was stolen and none of the six Joe Bidens were ever elected President of the United States:

Russian president Vladimir Putin has said the 2020 US presidential election was “stolen” from Donald Trump, and that had the outcome been declared fairly, the Ukraine conflict might have been avoided.

“I cannot disagree with him that if he had been president, if his victory hadn’t been stolen in 2020, perhaps the crisis in Ukraine that arose in 2022 wouldn’t have happened,” Putin has said in an interview published by Russia 1 TV journalist Pavel Zarubin on Telegram on Friday…

Trump has never admitted that he lost the 2020 election, despite courts failing to find evidence of widespread voter fraud. He has consistently alleged the 2020 election was blighted by irregularities, and that he lost despite winning 10 million more votes than Biden.

I’ve never admitted it either, because he didn’t. My early estimates were as accurate in 2020 as they were in 2016 and 2024, the only thing they couldn’t account for was millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of fake votes. I have never, ever believed, not for one second, that Joe Biden got more votes in Minnesota than Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama. The election fraud was clear, blatant, obvious, and statistically undeniable, and the fact that the media not only wasn’t all over it, but actively denied it is one reason that I no longer read any US “newspapers” or watch any US “news” channels.

It’s counterintuitive, but you will actually develop a better sense for what is going on in the world, and in the USA, if you completely ignore what passes for the mainstream news and the conservative news alike. What they report is the Narrative, not the news.

I’m not surprised that the Russians knew exactly what was going on. I assume the Chinese and the Israelis did too. The certain knowledge that the “rules-based world order” of “the Western democracies” was resting on a completely false foundation that was neither rules-based nor democratic was probably what proved the decisive factor in deciding to begin openly opposing it because it meant Clown World had lost the rhetorical high ground.

Neil Gaiman Doesn’t Believe All Women

The man accused of sexually assaulting and/or raping 8 women and counting finally breaks cover to issue a denial that directly contradicts his previous dictate to believe all women. Fandom Pulse provides the text and the context:

Over the past many months, I have watched the stories circulating the internet about me with horror and dismay. I’ve stayed quiet until now, both out of respect for the people who were sharing their stories and out of a desire not to draw even more attention to a lot of misinformation. I’ve always tried to be a private person, and felt increasingly that social media was the wrong place to talk about important personal matters. I’ve now reached the point where I feel that I should say something.

As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don’t, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen. I’m far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.

I went back to read the messages I exchanged with the women around and following the occasions that have subsequently been reported as being abusive. These messages read now as they did when I received them – of two people enjoying entirely consensual sexual relationships and wanting to see one another again. At the time I was in those relationships, they seemed positive and happy on both sides.

And I also realise, looking through them, years later, that I could have and should have done so much better. I was emotionally unavailable while being sexually available, self-focused and not as thoughtful as I could or should have been. I was obviously careless with people’s hearts and feelings, and that’s something that I really, deeply regret. It was selfish of me. I was caught up in my own story and I ignored other people’s.

I’ve spent some months now taking a long, hard look at who I have been and how I have made people feel.

Like most of us, I’m learning, and I’m trying to do the work needed, and I know that that’s not an overnight process. I hope that with the help of good people, I’ll continue to grow. I understand that not everyone will believe me or even care what I say but I’ll be doing the work anyway, for myself, my family and the people I love. I will be doing my very best to deserve their trust, as well as the trust of my readers.

At the same time, as I reflect on my past – and as I re-review everything that actually happened as opposed to what is being alleged – I don’t accept there was any abuse. To repeat, I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone.

Some of the horrible stories now being told simply never happened, while others have been so distorted from what actually took place that they bear no relationship to reality. I am prepared to take responsibility for any missteps I made. I’m not willing to turn my back on the truth, and I can’t accept being described as someone I am not, and cannot and will not admit to doing things I didn’t do.

And once more, we see conclusive evidence that Neil Gaiman is a mediocre writer of fiction. I very much hope that some of his accusers will take him to court for defamation, because his absurd statement literally stinks of evasiveness, Machiavellianism, spin, ex post facto revisionism, and lies.

Perhaps the most amusing claim is that the objectively biggest fame-whore in BOTH comics and science fiction over the last four decades has “always tried to be a private person”. Think about the massive scope and scale of that obvious and so easily disproven lie, think about the chutzpah required to conclude that your naked assertion will outweigh the literally tens of thousands of items of evidence to the contrary, and then consider the probability that he is telling the truth about anything else.

I think Reddit might actually melt down in response to this. I cannot believe either his legal team or his PR team thought this was a good idea, no matter how completely the news of his alleged crimes has broken contain.

UPDATE: Even his biggest fans from the subreddit devoted to him aren’t buying this. They’re not buying ANY of it at all.

LA 2.0

There can be absolutely no doubt that a) the Los Angeles fires were not organic and b) they were part of a plan to rebuild the city in accordance with the principles and preferences of the ruling elite. It’s exactly the same situation as Maui, only on a larger scale. The property is too valuable to be left to the plebs, so the insurance policies have been cancelled, and various other legal machinations will be created in order to incentivize homeowners to sell their properties for dimes on the dollar.

The corrupt California governor, Gavin Newsome, has been caught on camera talking openly about how the planning teams for LA 2.0 are already in place and at work, which means that they were being put together long before the first fire even started.

Neither the Maui nor the LA fires were an accident.

UPDATE: Miles Mathis knew something was afoot very early on:

I saw the first reports Tuesday evening, then followed it over the next few hours. Before I went to sleep I checked overnight wind predictions from Weather Underground, since the mainstream was saying wind would remain high overnight. That would be extremely rare, since wind normally dies down at night. Weather is not completely predictable, of course, but they are very accurate just a few hours out, and the professionals were confirming to me winds would drop down to about 5mph overnight. That would last at least 14 hours, so I assumed hotshot teams would fly in from all over the state and knock this thing down overnight. There are no other fires in the state, since northern California has gotten a lot of rain in the past two months. Where I am we have gotten a thorough soaking since November. So all the planes and helicopters across the entire state should have been free to assist. Besides, this was Pacific Palisades, home of the rich, so you would expect the response to be at maximum. No expense would be spared.

But of course we all know that isn’t what happened. When I woke up about noon, I checked both Calfire and Wunderground first thing. Wunderground confirmed the winds overnight had been very calm all across the LA area, and wouldn’t be as strong on Wednesday as they had been on Tuesday. Tuesday peaked about 25mph, and Wednesday was supposed to peak at about 15mph. Brisk, but not too strong to fight fires very successfully. But when I went to Calfire, I was in for a shock: zero containment. Not only that, but the mainstream and alternative reports were both full of downright lies, trying to push 100mph winds on me, high overnight winds, and no fall-off on Wednesday. So I knew immediately the usual mischief was afoot, mischief that had to be something like we saw in Lahaina.
