Another piece of evidence concerning the current state of the Israeli-Iranian war:

Foreign photographers will no longer be allowed to film at the scenes of missile strikes in Israel without prior written approval from military censors, under new directives issued by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi.

The move, which targets major international outlets such as Al Jazeera, CNN, and The New York Times, empowers the Israel Police, the Government Press Office (GPO), and the military censor to enforce stricter controls on foreign reporting of war-related damage inside Israel. According to the directive, enforcement will apply regardless of the media outlet for which the footage is being filmed.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with wartime censorship. But it’s not exactly consistent with the claims of air supremacy over Tehran, the ineffectiveness of Iranian missile strikes, or confidence in the situation either.

One hopes this is a sign that the Israeli government has given up its hopes of starting a war that the USA would finish, but it’s far too soon to tell anything at all. Personally, I continue to be skeptical that any conclusive result can be even potentially obtained by either side, given that it is geographically limited to being an airpower war.

Mailvox: Sad Cope

A reader doesn’t believe there is more than one “Trump”:

This whole “there are many Donald Trumps and the one who is clearly controlled op Clown World 2.0 is not the real one” thing reeks of sad cope. I know it may come as a shock but the NYC, billionaire, used car salesman, reality TV star, seriously creepy looking, sweaty orange faced rats nest hair, who openly lusts for his first born daughter, who could have easily been unalived by God knows who at any moment over the past decade, may not be be the good guy. Or even A good guy. 

My observation that there are at least three different “Donald Trumps” and six different “Joe Bidens” isn’t something I heard somewhere or dreamed up to cling to my vision of Red MAGA America. It’s just that: observation.

If you genuinely can’t see the difference between one man who is 5’8″ and another man who is 6’3″, or between one man who shuffles and another who is six inches taller and bounds to the podium, then obviously there is nothing I’m going to say to you that will convince you and I can’t help you.

The Science is Settled

How do you know you are an influential intellectual? People quote you and cite your ideas all over the world.

And how do you know you are a dangerous intellectual deemed a persona non grata by the scriptwriters of the Narrative? People quote you and cite your ideas all over the world without ever once referring to you by name or even implication.

This “Male Hierarchy Test” developed by “Experts from IDRlabs” on the basis of “the six categories of men identified by scientists” will look more than a little… familiar to the readers of this and one or two other sites.

The thing to remember is that this is standard practice when you’re not useful to the Narrative for one reason or another. It is amazing at how many innovative intellectuals have been effectively erased from history so that iconic frauds like Darwin, Edison, and Einstein can be manufactured and sold to the public in the place of the real innovators.

It’s no different than what we see in the world of political commentary, where new gatekeepers are constructed, inflated, and pushed on the public as soon as their fraudulent predecessors inevitably expose themselves as controlled opposition.

But the important thing is that the ideas get out there and take on a life of their own. The true intellectual has no need whatsoever of public adulation or awards, because the only reward that is worth treasuring is that magic moment of clarity one experiences when the summa encyclopedia of human knowledge and understanding is genuinely expanded. Not only is that something that no one can ever take away, it is something that the famous frauds, charlatans, and grifters will never, ever, know.

There is No Joe Biden

But there were certainly six fake ones. President Trump draws attention to one of the more outlandish Q assertions:

President Trump has sent the country into an uproar after sharing what his haters are calling a “conspiracy theory” regarding Joe Biden.

Trump shared a post on his Truth Social from a user called llijh. In her post, she alleges Biden was executed in 2020 and has been replaced by a clone.

The president presented the post entirely without comment.

“There is no #JoeBiden – executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference,” the post from llijh states.

As always, the only thing that we can be certain of is that the mainstream narrative is false. So far, Clown World’s propaganda machine has already altered the Official Story enough to admit that Joe Biden was non compos mentis for the entirety of his fake term to which he was never elected in the first place. How much further it will be altered remains to be seen.

What I find most interesting is the repetition of the claim that Biden was executed, which has also been made of John McCain, Hilary Clinton, and other major political figures. We know the Deep State exists, we know there is a resistance to it that appears to be centered in military circles, particularly military intelligence, but we don’t actually know much more than that. So the fact that President Trump is drawing our attention to such things is interesting, regardless of his real reasons for doing so.

Praise for UATV

I’m 49 and Australian. Without any shadow of doubt, this singular Owen and Vox conversation was more intellectually charged than anything our local media had thrown up in my entire lifetime.

High praise indeed. If you haven’t resubscribed yet, this is the time to do so, unless you’re outside the USA, in which case you’ll need to wait two more weeks. My current streaming schedule:

  • Monday: Big Bear Stream with Owen
  • Wednesday: Darkstream
  • Thursday: Arkhaven Nights with JDA
  • Friday/Saturday: Darkstream

I plan to keep to this schedule over the summer as we work to rebuild the subscriber base. And I haven’t forgotten about the Taiwan Invasion analysis; I will give everyone a heads-up before I stream that one.

The Controlled Opposition

Fandom Pulse rhetorically jiu-jitsus the cucks and cons who are attempting, again, to read out the real Right and prevent it from influencing the impressionable youth, this time by inventing the nonsensical term “Woke Right”. But while “Woke Right” won’t stick, “Woke Lite” will, because the best rhetoric points toward the truth:

The term “Woke Lite” incisively captures a peculiar and insidious phenomenon within the evolving political landscape of the American Right. The Woke Lite are not conservatives in the traditional sense, nor are they the firebrand populists who fueled the MAGA movement’s ascendance in 2024. Instead, they are former liberals—or at least those steeped in liberal sensibilities—who have drifted rightward, not out of conviction, but out of opportunism and/or discomfort with the left’s excesses. These individuals now seek to control and gatekeep the newly ascendant Right, positioning themselves as arbiters of respectability while now undermining the very coalition that brought victory in 2024.

The Woke Lite did not build the 2024 coalition. That coalition—a vibrant, unruly alliance of working-class voters, cultural dissidents, and principled conservatives—was forged through years of the crucible of grassroots energy, defiance of establishment norms, and a rejection of both progressive overreach and milquetoast Republicanism. The Woke Lite, by contrast, often stood on the sidelines or at times actively opposed this movement. Many of them, still tethered to the aesthetics and instincts of their liberal pasts, recoil at the coalition’s use of power, its willingness to confront the left head-on, and its rejection of the old rules and norms of political engagement. Some even worked to undermine the coalition at key moments, clinging to outdated notions of “civility” or “bipartisanship” that served only to dilute the Right’s resolve.

Perhaps the most damaging aspect of the Woke Lite’s influence is their aversion to wielding power against the left. While the MAGA movement understands that politics is a contest of strength, the Woke Lite preach restraint, caution, and compromise. This creates a lopsided dynamic where the left, unencumbered by such hesitations, wielded power ruthlessly—through institutions, media, and lawfare—to advance its agenda unopposed. By opposing efforts to match the left’s intensity, the Woke Lite effectively ensured that the Right fought with one hand tied behind its back. Their insistence on “playing nice” was not a moral stance but a strategic surrender, allowing the left to dominate cultural and political battles.

There is always a fake controlled opposition being pushed as the only legitimate opposition. Sixty years ago, William F. Buckley was the Woke Lite attacking the “Woke Right” of the John Bircher movement. In the eighties, the neocons were the Woke Lite attacking the anti-NAFTA coalition. Then Richard Armitage and a bunch of attention seekers leaped in front of the Tea Party parade in order to steer it safely into irrelevance before it could threaten the Republican mainstream.

Now Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, the Weinstein brothers, and others in their orbit are trying to play defense for the SJWs by attacking Christian nationalists and anti-globalists. It’s not only the same playbook as previous controlled oppositions, it’s exactly the same play.

Only this time, it won’t work, because everything they have been pushing for the last sixty years is no longer idealistic theory, but failed reality.

Gangstalking is Real and Federally-Funded

The media omerta concerning the surveillance state painstakingly documented by Anonymous Conservative and various others is finally showing signs of breaking down as the funding for the system is being exposed:

In light of the policies set forth by President Donald J. Trump’s February 18, 2025 Executive Order titled “Radical Transparency About Wasteful Spending”, this is to bring to your attention the un-American and illegal activity orchestrated and funded by the Department of Homeland Security that you should order to be immediately eradicated.

During your confirmation hearings, referring to the agency you were appointed to direct, Senator Rand Paul stated: “There is not a single comprehensive list to address all the collaborative relationships that the department and its components engage in…that we can’t describe them.”

The reason why DHS refused to describe some of these “collaborative relationships” to the Homeland Security Committee is because many of them are patently illegal and in violation of the Fourth Amendment trample over the most basic civil and human rights of those illegally targeted by the government.

There are over 300,000 Americans that Federal Bureau of Investigation’s officials have attested under penalty of perjury have been placed on the Terrorist Screening Database without reasonable suspicion and “under secret criteria.”

The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General audit reports concluded that 97% of the people on the TSDB have “No known ties to terrorism” and do not represent a threat to national security. Only .28% of the list contains the names of actual “known and suspected terrorists.” The vast majority of this “blacklist” is reserved for whistleblowers, activists, J6ers, parents that protest at school boards, and any enemy of the Deep State.

DHS imparts the directives implemented in the Fusion Centers that carry out the illegal psychological operations against the people illegally placed on the TSDB. Together with their Citizen Corps co-conspirators, state and federal officials engage in organized stalking, spying, harassment, street theater, vandalism, break-ins, and a myriad of illegal tactics to obliterate these “blacklisted’ individuals. These DHS-funded programs are unconstitutional and even criminal. They mirror the Stasi police state that is un-American and militates against the most basic precepts of the America First agenda.

I haven’t been much affected by this myself, although even in Europe I’ve encountered its machinery occasionally when I’ve been out and about. But I suspect the 300,000 number on the target database referenced is closer to one-tenth the number of people involved in the stalking than it is to the total number of people being surveilled and stalked.

In the case of the Stasi, fully 20 percent of the population of East Germany was involved with the surveillance in some way. If the US program is similarly pervasive, and it has had more time to be established, that would mean 64 million people are somehow engaged with spying on and stalking their fellow US citizens. I find it very, very difficult to believe that so many people are genuinely caught up in the machinery, but the logic and the history strongly suggests that you know several people who are involved with it, either as a target or as part of the system, even if you’re not caught up in it yourself.

If I seem somewhat unconcerned about it, don’t take that to mean I am defending it or believe it is excusable in any way, shape, or form. It’s not; it is obviously illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. It’s only that the invisible hand of societal control has been documented as far back as we have written records, going back to Greece, Rome, Persia, and China. And even in my youth, I was never so naive as to believe things were any different today just because we had a Constitution.

Adam Smith didn’t quite get it right. The Invisible Hand exists, all right, it just happens to be rather more material than the metaphysical metaphor for the forces of the free market he imagined.

Disinformation on US Tariffs

The mainstream media likes to talk about “disinformation” on the Internet. But that’s only because it wants to preserve its monopoly. Consider the following description of literal Never-Trumper Ben Shapiro:

Ben Shapiro, a long-time supporter of the president, also smashed the illusion that tariffs are a good business deal for Americans to smithereens, with a startling insight on Monday: ‘Musk is right. Musk happens to be 100 percent right about this.’

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, similarly used his shareholder letter to warn that Trump’s levies would result in ‘inflationary outcome’ both on imports and prices in the United States.

‘The recent tariffs will likely increase inflation and are causing many to consider a greater probability of a recession,’ he told shareholders, according to the Washington Post.

Some Republican senators have also voiced their support for a measure that would require the president to inform Congress of upcoming tariffs within 48 hours of them being implemented.

It would also mandate that the tariffs need approval from Congress within 60 days of them being imposed and that Congress could end any tariff at any time.

Meanwhile, a libertarian group funded by Leonardo Leo and Charles Koch has launched a legal challenge against Trump’s tariffs, The Guardian reports.

The New Civil Liberties alliance filed the suit to prevent Trump from imposing tariffs on imports from China, arguing that doing so under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act is unlawful.

If you want to better understand the retardery of Clown World and its manufacture of its pet opinion leaders, just look at how it is casting Ben Shapiro as both a) “a long-time supporter” of President Trump and b) an expert on economics.

Now, as it happens, I am both. The Littlest Chickenhawk is neither. I was also much more widely read than Shapiro when we were competing on a level playing field, his readership at WND was always between one-quarter and one-third of mine. But the media needs its puppet mouthpieces, so they elevate these nonentities and then continuously push them in front of the public in order to prop up their Narrative.

The fact is that the tarrif rates announced are a) far too high and b) calculated via an absurd method, and c) irrelevant. The rates are just the God-Emperor 2.0’s usual way of getting his negotiating partner’s to accept his frame by metaphorically slapping him in the face. It’s the start of negotiations, nothing more. And the smarter countries understand this; they are either caving very publicly or refraining from retaliating, because they know US tariffs are a) necessary, b) justified, and c) long overdue.

Not that the media will tell you that, since they have their Narrative to prop up.

UK Clowns Attack Gab

Andrew Torba alerts us to Clown World trying to throw its weight around in the UK:

The government of the United Kingdom, wielding the controversial Online Safety Act 2023, has issued a direct ultimatum, launching a blatant assault on the principles of open discourse that define our community. They demand that Gab submit to their stringent censorship regime, threatening exorbitant fines potentially reaching £18 million or a crippling 10% of our global revenue if we refuse to bow to their demands.

Let us be clear: this is not about ensuring online “safety” as they claim; it is a thinly veiled attempt to exert absolute control over online expression, using ambiguous and undefined “hate speech” provisions as a weapon to silence dissent, criminalize unpopular opinions, and ultimately extinguish your fundamental right to speak freely and openly.

We unequivocally refuse to comply with these tyrannical demands. We will not pay one cent. Gab is, and always will be, a bastion for free speech, headquartered in the United States and operating under the protections of the First Amendment. Our legal team has already delivered a firm response to the UK authorities, asserting our position that Gab operates outside their jurisdiction and will not be implementing their censorship mandates.

This fight, however, extends far beyond legal technicalities; it represents a dangerous precedent where governments feel empowered to weaponize legislation to dictate acceptable thought and speech across borders. The sheer incompetence displayed in their threats—demanding a response by March 16, 2025, to a notice sent nearly two weeks later on March 26, 2025—only underscores the reckless and overreaching nature of this authoritarian push. This is the chaotic face of tyranny, and we will not yield to it.

We’re getting a very important lesson in the evils of globalism and universal jurisdiction here. For the entire history of Mankind, a man has always had the opportunity to vote with his feet. But the wicked satanists of Clown World hate humanity and hate freedom so much that they are trying to take even that fragment of hope away.

Of course, what that means is that there is no place for them in any human society. This is why the so-called “authoritarians” are infinitely preferable to the clowns with their fake freedoms, their fake democracies, their fake money, and their inverted virtues, despite all of their many flaws. At this point, war with Russia might well be the best thing for the British people, as it least it would eventually free them from their evil oppressors.
