Why They’re Upset

You can’t really blame the anti-Trump people for being shocked and dismayed about the election results. Everyone was comprehensively gaslighted in the lead-up to it.

What will be Wednesday’s Headline? (Percentage of 74,591 votes)

38.56% – Harris Wins Decisively

33.33% – Race Too Close To Call

19.02% – Harris Ekes Out Victory

5.71% – Trump Wins Decisively

3.38% – Trump Ekes Out Victory

Barely more than 10 percent of TRUMP voters expected what actually happened. Which is yet another reminder of why paying attention to the mainstream media only ensures that one will be misinformed. Keep this in mind the next time you find yourself reacting emotionally in some way to a mainstream report and remind yourself that it is at least partially false, and most likely, is substantially false.

Case in point. Consider these two reports about the war in Ukraine, both taken from recent mainstream media sources.

  • Russia lost more than 710,000 troops since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion almost three years ago, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said this week. Despite the heavy losses, Moscow is pushing forward with its ‘meat assaults’ and continues to advance at its fastest rate since 2022, with Ukraine’s armed forces chief admitting this month that it is currently facing ‘one of the most powerful’ Russian offensives since the war broke out.
  • A new estimate by a U.S. official in October 2024, put the number of Ukrainian casualties at more than 57,500 killed.

Think about how misinformed you have to be to believe that Russia has suffered 12x Ukraine’s KIAs while simultaneously putting the Kiev regime on the brink of surrender?

Zelensky on the Way Out

Simplicius notes that the mainstream Narrative is now preparing the ground for the removal of Zelensky as the puppet-in-chief of the Kiev regime.

Just a day after we wrote about the ‘rumored’ new plan for the US to hold Ukrainian elections next year to give intransigent Zelensky the boot, The Economist made it semi-official by acknowledging that, ‘suddenly’, Zelensky is facing a ‘power struggle’ at home. It’s in line with how Biden’s advanced dementia was just “abruptly” discovered by figures and organs of the establishment, only after becoming convenient and politically expedient enough for them to make it public. Similarly here, as soon as the memo-from-above’s arrival, The Economist sprang into pre-conditioning the ground to sell the narrative that Zelensky’s regime is now on uncertain footing; they would have never been allowed to even suggest that Zelensky faced danger at home until it became necessary to do so…

A ‘dignified bow out’ just like the same establishment forces asked of Zelensky’s fateful partner-in-crime Joe Biden. Remember, it’s either the “easy way” or the “hard way”, as Pelosi said; the same stands for Zelensky. Take your free trip to Tel Aviv or we can begin raising the level of ‘encouragement’. After all, recall Zaluzhny was directed to step down from his role as general for a long time, and it was only after his direct subordinates began to be assassinated did he heed the warning and do as he was told.

Sooner or later, every ticket-taker ceases to be useful and is thrown from the high horse.

One of the best reasons to follow the alternative media, in either blog or video form, is that you will reliably have some idea what is going on long before the mainstream media is allowed to cover it. Biden’s dementia was recognized and discussed in the alternative media long before the mainstream journalists dared to observe the obvious, and in like manner, the inevitable outcome of the war in Ukraine was pointed out more than two years before the media stopped blathering about Russia running out of men and ammunition in two weeks, or a popular groundswell driving President Putin from power.

Isn’t it informative how a single defeat or embarrassment is supposedly sufficient to force someone the media hates out of office, but 32 straight months of one defeat after another have proved insufficient to destabilize media favorite Zelensky’s position despite his cancellation of elections and present illegitimate status?

Anyhow, now that Clown World’s favor has officially been withdrawn from their puppet in Kiev, it’s only a matter of time before he is removed from the scene one way or another. This will be the sign that negotiations with Russia to end the special military operation are being pursued; whether Russia is feeling magnanimous in victory or not is another matter entirely.

And it’s no wonder that the Europeans are all panicking about Trump’s election. Russia is making it clear that its demands will include the withdrawal of NATO to the German border, and Trump will know that’s a good deal that’s worth taking.

The Kremlin is again saying that Russia is only interested in those negotiations that will ensure the fulfillment of all tasks in the context of Ukraine and Ryabkov’s 2021 ultimatum about NATO’s withdrawal to the border of Germany. Everything else is of no concern, as is the change of faces in the White House. There will be no deal.

Fandom Imperialism

I bet it won’t take more than 18 months for Fandom Pulse to become the #1 site in comics journalism now that content machine John Trent has joined it on a full-time basis.

John Trent, the former EIC of Bounding Into Comics and That Park Place is now working full time and writing multiple articles a day for Fandom Pulse!

JDA is a formidable content creator in his own right, but John Trent isn’t merely next level, he is unparalleled in his ability to provide both quantity and quality in his relentless reporting. And unlike so many useless and converged so-called journalists purporting to cover the industry while ignoring the lager part of it, he gives equal time to the mainstream and the independents alike. If you haven’t subscribed to Fandom Pulse yet, you really owe it to yourself to do so. It is about to become a serious difference-maker.

In other culture war commentary, this comic is spot-on.

How Bad is Kamala?

Kamala Harris is the worst candidate in the history of U.S. politics. She’s not only ineligible, she’s completely unelectable; she couldn’t even get 10 percent of the Democrats votes when she ran in the 2020 Democratic primary.

The only reason to doubt that Donald Trump will win the 2024 U.S. Presidential election is because the 2020 election was rigged and tens of millions of fake votes in battleground states were manufactured for Joe Biden. And the reason the rigging won’t suffice is because Harris probably can’t win 25 percent of the legitimate popular vote. Which, no doubt, is why the Washington Post is refusing to endorse her.

The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.

How bad a candidate is Harris? She’s so awful that THE WASHINGTON FREAKING POST won’t endorse the Democratic for the first time since 1976. The Post endorsed Walter Mondale. It endorsed both Clintons. It even endorsed MICHAEL DUKAKIS. But it won’t endorse Harris.

Miles Mathis Responds

Nothing, in the entire history of the concepts of fate and destiny, has ever been more inevitable than the absolute certainty that Miles Mathis would respond to Ron Unz’s article about him. I have literally never, ever, had more faith in an future event taking place in my entire life. And the inevitable does not disappoint.

I suspect his aggregate content is far greater than the combined total for every other conspiracy-website on the Internet.

Yeah, Ron, I suspect you are right, and I suspect that is why you are so bent out of shape by my very existence. It’s why all you guys are so jealous. Also because I can pump out a reply like this in just a couple of hours, fully polished and proofed, giving you a further drubbing. Do you know why I can do that, Ron? Obviously you don’t, so I will just tell you. It isn’t because I am some Mossad committee, set up to make you look like a bumbler. It is because I proof while I write. Meaning, I make very few mistakes, so I need very few corrections and almost no rewrites. I am an excellent speller on top of everything else…

Yes, I am laughing out loud. This is so much fun. We have seen before that these people can’t decide how to libel me. Am I too small to notice or too big to be true? One moment I am a big nothing, the next moment I am a $20-million government project of geniuses, sent out to smoke-bomb the entire world. They really need to make up their mind.

Nothing about the huge piles of evidence I provide in all papers on both sites, just the lie that it doesn’t exist or is wrong, based on zero counter-evidence or argument. The “argument” against me hasn’t progressed one iota in two decades, it is still at this baby stage of yelling and throwing food, as Unz and his minions are proving. As we have seen again, they utterly ignore 99.99% of my data, cherry-picking a ten-list of shallow talking points provided from a central tape, then sound-biting that down to a few sentences and peppering it with invective. And then selling that as a scholarly debunking.

Unfortunately, that is going to reverse on Unz, as he is about to find out. Many of his best readers are going to be so turned off by this whole charade they are going to drop him like an old Covid wipe. It won’t much matter, I guess, since his site was propped up by the usual suspects to start with, but it is going to sting his ego, at least.

The matter of whether Miles fronts a committee or not may be unsettled – and as I have said, I tend to incline toward the committee side interpretation myself – but the one thing that has definitely been confirmed is my conclusion that the gentleman concerned is a Gamma male. Of course, this makes sense, as Loremaster is one of the roles for which Gammas are best suited.

The thing is, whether Miles is the lead writer of a committee or just a singularly-obsessed, maniacally-prolific lone penman is irrelevant. Reading him tends to lead toward asking the right questions and developing a correctly skeptical perspective toward the mainstream and historical Narratives. Did every dead Hollywood actor or actress fake their death and move to a hidden Jewish colony in Argentina with Hitler and the Nazis? I have no idea.

But I am certain it’s a lot more possible than the IDF being surprised by the October 7th attacks or the Twin Towers being brought down by airplanes hijacked by Saudis. Frankly, I think the world is a lot weirder than either Ron Unz or Miles Mathis believe, and that their disbelief in the spiritual world prevents them from making the connections that would help tie their observations, however conspiratorial, much more accurately and credibly.

Anyhow, I, for one, am neither jealous nor angry. In fact, I’m quite willing to publish Miles’s papers in a book or ten, should he ever be so inclined.

Exposing the MMC

I’m not surprised that Ron Unz reached much the same conclusion that I did about the Miles Mathis Committee:

The first of my surprises was the sheer volume of his material. I try to be methodical and comprehensive, so I’d originally planned to read his entire corpus of work, but I immediately saw that this was totally impossible unless I was willing to invest many, many months in the project.

His main eponymous website MilesWMathis.com includes an “Update Page” containing links to well over 1,500 of his articles and their updates, of which nearly 1,000 were his new pieces on conspiratorial topics, stretching back to around 2011 or so, with only a small fraction of these being by guest contributors. Spot-checking the word-count on a few of them suggested that they are rarely shorter than 5,000 words and perhaps might average closer to 8,000 words or more. So the total of his conspiratorial writings certainly runs many, many millions of words, with most of those pieces also containing numerous images. He had probably published enough content to fill at least 60 or 70 non-fiction books, certainly an astonishing level of productivity for a single writer.

Indeed, the volume of conspiratorial material on this Mathis website was so enormous that I suspect his aggregate content is far greater than the combined total for every other conspiracy-website on the Internet. Given that huge quantity of writing he even provided a separate archive page listing the 160 conspiratorial articles that he considers his best.

Writing a 5,000 or 10,000 word essay of entirely original text often including copious images and doing that every couple of days or so seems a rather formidable undertaking for a single individual, especially since nearly all of these were apparently based upon extensive Internet research. These essays seem reasonably well written, though usually in his trademark meandering, obfuscating style, and I spotted very few typos, spelling errors, or grammatical mistakes, indicating that they had also been carefully proofed, certainly far more so than the output of a typical website writer.

Furthermore, I soon discovered that he also maintained an entirely separate website called MilesMathis.com, devoted to his mathematical and scientific writing, which includes nearly another 500 articles, supposedly totaling some 7,800 pages of text and perhaps 1.5 million words or more. A little spot-checking suggested that there was only slight overlap with those listed on his main website.

One very odd aspect of his work was that apparently all of the 1,500 or so individual articles on his main website were in the form of PDF files rather than as ordinary HTML pages, and I could think of no other writer nor blogger who followed that approach.

For me, it wasn’t the volume, but rather, the observably different writing styles appearing in the same papers. I personally know and edit two extremely prolific writers, John C. Wright and Chuck Dixon. And there is a fundamental sameness to their writing styles, even across a much wider range of thematic topics, than one sees in the Miles Mathis, JK Rowling, or James Patterson committees. Even books written by a pair of co-writers instead of a single author is usually quite identifiable; for example, if you compare Good Omens to a typical book by either Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman, it’s very easy to not only see that two authors were involved, but to a certain extent, which parts were written by whom.

In the case of the MMC, the painter guy, who has a very good eye for photo fakes, is clearly different than the genealogy guy. The difference is downright jarring when they’re both contributing to the same article. And they’re both different than the history guy, who has a much better grasp on basic history than most writers.

Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely like reading the MMC, regardless of who is running it. The fact is that if you read Miles Mathis, you’ll get far closer to the truth of objective reality than you ever will by reading The New York Times and other news organizations responsible for maintaining the current Narrative. When the mainstream media talks about “misinformation” they are just projecting their own behavior onto others. As the meme has it, “conspiracy theory” is just another word for “sneak preview”.

I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly looking forward to reading the now-inevitable expose about how I am a Swiss intelligence operative descended from a long line of aristocratic British crypto-rabbis who is motivated by pure jealousy of Miles’s luxurious golden ringlets. My connections to Owen Benjamin alone should be sufficient to fill at least two pages of the PDF. Beale/Bâle/Baal. Phoenician Navy confirmed!

Flawless Victory

But, but, Benny’s been told since he was a boy that he is “smart as a whip!” In addition to being a midwit’s idea of a smart person, Shapiro has always been a sell-out, and he’s not even within a standard deviation of me. There is a reason he contents himself with beating up on low-IQ college students, but has always run like a rabbit from a debate with me, or Milo, or any of his many intellectual superiors in the media space.

It is amusing to see him using rhetoric of my coinage, though. As one wit on SG suggested, no doubt we’ll soon be hearing him tell us what a “Sigma” he is. I despise the Littlest Chickenhawk, but I don’t hate him. To the contrary, I pity him, because I know for a fact that he never wanted to be what he eventually became. He’s rather like Gaiman and Scalzi, a mediocrity who was ultimately willing to take the ticket in order to achieve his ambitions, only unlike them, he knew ahead of time what it was going to cost him in terms of freedom and self-respect.

Kate Moss once famously said that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. In like manner, there is no success or fame that feels as satisfying as freedom and self-respect.

The Next British Scandal

Something is going on with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that the media is presently dancing around.

So we have a name, as do the Mail and the Telegraph, we have a birth certificate and people have been
looking into it. People been contacted. Journalists have contacted the family, so it’s in play and a lot of people do know it, but we have not been able to substantiate it to to the degree that you need to to
publish.

I’m no insider where British politics are concerned, but I heard rumors that the Prime Minister wasn’t even living with his wife, but was living with his other family until not long before the most recent electoral election began. But regardless of the how and why, it’s pretty clear that Starmer is a creature of Clown World.

Hunting Neil Gaiman

The investigative reporters behind the Tortoise Media reports that exposed Neil Gaiman as an alleged sex predator speak out about how they went down the rabbit hole.

Paul Caruana Galizia: The risk was was we end up telling a story of what he might describe as a messy and difficult sexual relationship, and that he’d never done anything like that before, and it’s a he said-she said situation. As Rachel mentioned, we heard from Scarlett an allegation that there were other women, and which is one we took seriously as well and was also another big public interest test for us. If he’s done this many, many times, then there’s are stronger reasons to do this story. You know, you might argue that he is a threat to young, vulnerable women and that he uses his image to lure them in to problematic sexual relationships, which is also an issue, and so we started exploring all those things. It took a while to break through this real silence around him and this real culture of secrecy and fear, actually, and so speaking up was really quite difficult for them. It took months of turning over stones until we got a lead to a woman who told us that she met Neil Gaiman when she was 18, at a book signing, and began a sexual relationship within two years, and her descriptions of that sexual relationship matched in really precise ways what Scarlet had told us even though they were separated by two decades and many continents.

Rachel Johnson: As far as we were concerned one of the public interests was the fact that Neil Gaiman’s persona and also his career placed him in continuous contact with young admiring women there was his social media activity which is very intense. He connected with fans all the time. There were his book signings, his attendance at readings and and conventions again placing him with young fans, impressionable fans, and then of course the fact that he had a child and this was where Scarlet comes in. So that meant that we felt there was a strong public interest in reporting the allegations, because
several of the women said to us, ‘we don’t want him to be cancelled, we just want him to stop, we just want him to be held accountable for his behavior in these situations with very young women.’

As I said from the start, there was absolutely no way, no chance at all, that the encounter with Scarlett was the first, or even the tenth, time he’d done something like that. Players are going to play, haters are going to hate, Gammas are going to gamma, and predators are going to prey upon starry-eyed young women who are overly impressed by media whoredom.

But regardless of what happens in the end, these brave women have accomplished something that is both worthwhile, unthinkable, and well worthy of note. They’ve actually caused the most relentless self-promoter in the entertainment industry to stop promoting himself in public for the first time since he was seven years old.

Kamala Still Isn’t Black

I don’t know why anyone ever pretended that Kamala Harris was black. I suppose it’s because people assume that everyone from Jamaica is, but as it happens, her father isn’t black. And neither is her mother. As Janet Jackson clearly knows:

Pop star Janet Jackson was blasted by left-wing critics last week for saying that Kamala Harris isn’t black. Then it was reported that she apologized saying she was “misinformed.” Now, Jackson is saying that apology was issued without authorization…

Once Jackson’s words got into print, Mo Elmasri apologized for her comments in a statement on Sunday in a report at Buzzfeed. Elmasri told Buzzfeed he was Jackson’s manager.

“Janet apologizes for any confusion caused and acknowledges the importance of accurate representation in public discourse” Elmasri said. “We appreciate the opportunity to address this and will remain committed to promoting unity … She deeply respects Vice President Kamala Harris and her accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman.”

But now Jackson’s team is disavowing Mo Elmasri’s statement.

Indeed, there seems to be confusion over Elmasri’s actual role with Jackson. According to sources, her brother, Randy Jackson, is actually Janet’s manager. And now the Jackson team is insisting that Elmasri had no right or authorization to issue any apologies, according to USA Today.

Perhaps Neal Gaiman’s team should take a page from Mr. Elmasri’s book and have some random individual who has no actual connection to Team Gaiman apologize for Mr. Gaiman’s alleged actions. They could even have Mr. Elmasri do it. Apparently the press will accept that these days.
