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.

Slay Your Darlings

The Guardian finally breaks down and mentions that its darling Neil Gaiman might just have maybe done something just a little bit naughty.

Neil Gaiman screen adaptations halted after allegations of sexual misconduct
Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives has been cancelled and productions by Amazon and Disney have been put on hold amid reports about the Coraline author

Three screen adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s works have been cancelled or had their production paused amid reports accusing the author of Coraline and The Sandman of sexual misconduct.

Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives, based on characters created for DC Comics by Gaiman and Matt Wagner, has been cancelled after one season. Production of the third and final season of Amazon drama Good Omens, based on the 1990 novel by Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, has been paused, according to US website Deadline.

Meanwhile, development of a Disney film adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 young adult novel The Graveyard Book has been put on hold. None of the streaming services has confirmed that these decisions were taken because of the allegations, but Gaiman apparently offered to step back from his involvement in Good Omens, according to Deadline.

Gaiman’s representatives declined to comment on the decisions taken by the streaming services.

In July, an investigation by Tortoise media reported allegations by two women of sexual misconduct against Gaiman, including sexual abuse and coercive behaviour. Gaiman has strongly denied any unlawful conduct. One woman, whose first name is Scarlett, alleged that Gaiman performed sexual acts on her without her consent when she was working as a nanny for the author’s family in New Zealand. Gaiman said they only engaged in consensual acts. A second woman, identified only by the initial K, alleged that Gaiman penetrated her without consent; Gaiman denied any unlawful behaviour.

Further allegations have been made since Tortoise’s original report, including by Caroline Wallner, who alleged that Gaiman pressured her to have sex with him in return for letting her live at his property in upstate New York, and made her sign a non-disclosure agreement in return for a $275,000 payment. Gaiman has said that the relationship had been entirely consensual.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing. No mention of the other two women. Even worse, there is no disclosure that Neil Gaiman is a contributor to The Guardian, most recently three days AFTER the initial Tortoise Media podcast was released that broke the news of what The Guardian calls his “sexual misconduct”. And no mention of the fact that The Guardian regularly publishes articles about Neil Gaiman per month, including three in August 2024 long after the accusations were made public.

And the Wall Fell Down

The media’s wall of silence protecting Neil Gaiman has finally collapsed thanks to Amazon and Disney putting their productions on hold in response to the accusations of sexual assault made by seven different women against the erstwhile Scientologist auditor.

Amazon drama Good Omens halted over ‘disturbing’ sexual misconduct allegations into show’s co-creator Neil Gaiman

The production of Amazon drama Good Omens has reportedly been suspended in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations made against the show’s co-creator Neil Gaiman.

The author – who co-wrote the 1990 novel of the same name – has denied the allegations made against him by five women, branding the accusations as ‘disturbing’.

It comes after Disney also hit pause on its feature adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 ‘The Graveyard Book’ after the allegations surfaced.

According to showbusiness website Deadline, the 63-year-old has since made an offer to Amazon to step back so that pre-production for the third and final season of Good Omens can continue.

The offer is not an admission of wrongdoing by Gaiman.

Although not completely. The Guardian, which produces puff pieces about and even by Neil Gaiman more often than it publishes hit pieces on me, still isn’t saying anything negative about its pet fantasy writer.

The Triumph of #GamerGate

We were the first to punch through the Narrative and make them bleed. No wonder they hate and fear us to this day.

Listen very carefully to how Mike explains the Narrative Warfare capacity of Globohomo, when it came online, and why they freaked out. He did not mention us by name, but considering the anniversary event and that Games Journos are the Farm League for Mainstream Media and do every single bit of Narrative bullshit that the big players do FOR THE SAME REASONS.

We were the Black Swan that no one saw coming! We were the first to crack that wall in the Narrative Warfare Dyson Sphere. Sure, we did it against the Regime’s Farm League Teams, but we did it nonetheless; it’s no different than an unexpected revolt in a heretofore secure rear area garrisoned by shitters and losers because that’s exactly what it was.

The newbs and fuckups screwed up a job with low expectations, then fucked up the containment response, and suddenly people further up the status (and thus command) ladder had to be diverted to handle something that they should never have had to handle. In the process of doing this, we did irreperable damage to the Narrative Warfare Complex.

The lessons that were learned, the tactics that were developed, and the example that was set are still relevant today. The power of the Meme Magic we collectively unleashed is such that even those who are genuinely opposed to the Establishment Narrative are terrified of our ability to punch through it. Seriously, the fourth rule of r/neilgaimanuncovered is “No reposts from “Neil Gaiman Memes” and yet the posters there still regularly take their lead from some of our posts.

That was five days ago. This is today.

A few days ago, Milo, Ethan, Mundane Matt, myself, Sargon of Akkad, and a few more of the 40 or so original #GamerGaters appeared on a 10th Anniversary of GG Killstream, and it was remarkable to discover how despite our widely disparate politics, fields, and interests, every single one of us had been the subject of multiple hit pieces by the mainstream media, the same mainstream media that has been desperately trying to maintain its wall of silence about the growing number of accusations of sexual assault, non-disclosure agreements, and large monetary payouts.

But sometimes, silence speaks volumes. Indeed, perhaps the most damning confirmation of the worst-case scenario is the fact that The Guardian hasn’t fluffed Neil Gaiman once in the last two months.

So, to paraphrase an old GG aphorism, shut up and meme, boys! Shut up and meme. Vivian’s grown up and gone Goth.

Hear For Yourself

The wall of silence surrounding Neil Gaiman is cracking and beginning to crumble, as both The Bookseller and Publishers Weekly have now publicly referenced the latest Tortoise Media episode, and, as previously mentioned, The Bookseller has been actively reaching out to Gaiman’s publishers for comments on the growing number of accusations of sexual assault, to absolutely no avail.

I suspect the reason further cracks are appearing is that hearing Neil Gaiman’s words in his own voice is more convincing to a skeptic than any amount of documentary and testimonial evidence would be. Any hope of simply blaming the podcast series on an anti-trans agenda or that it’s a whole lot of nothing is rapidly disappearing. The transcript of the sixth episode is now available, and it is extremely damning. Though again, not as damning as actually hearing Gaiman’s whiny, self-pitying voice.

NEIL GAIMAN: Hello!
CLAIRE: Hey!
NEIL GAIMAN: How are you? Apart from probably very nervous about this call.
CLAIRE: (brief chuckle) Um… I’m doing well, I – (inaudible, trails off in background) …my letter…
NEIL GAIMAN: …reading your letter, I – if I’d known that – I’d took up that headspace…
CLAIRE: (audible breath) Heh…
NEIL GAIMAN: for you… I would’ve… I don’t know! I would’ve – I definitely would’ve been reaching out a long – time ago! I… I… you know… I’ve never thought of you with anything other than fondness, and…
CLAIRE: Mm.
NEIL GAIMAN: – a little awkwardness, and… um… you know… have me feeling like I’ve got the wrong end of the stick, but I thought you were – terrific! And I – was heartbroken, seeing that I was giving you nightmares, and… (heavy sighs) So I’m really sorry!
NEIL GAIMAN: I … don’t think anything is gonna unwrite the bits that I’ve obviously fucked up on all this. And – and I’m trying to make up some of the damage.

PAUL CARUANA GALIZIA: Claire tells him that she’s had a long stretch of therapy, one that’s put financial strain on her family, and she expresses concern about how expensive the baby she’s expecting is going to be. Neil Gaiman is quick to offer a solution.

NEIL GAIMAN: Would you like me to send you some money?
CLAIRE: I – again, the whole – like, putting a price tag on –
NEIL GAIMAN: I mean, I’m not – I’m not trying to put a price tag, I’m –
CLAIRE: (nervous laugh) …yeah…
NEIL GAIMAN: like – just trying to – I’m – I’m not sure that I’m – reading you – I’m, I, I said that very bluntly, ‘cause, uh – (CLAIRE laughs) Like – listen – you’ve got a baby on the way and I appreciate that five hundred – dollars a month…
CLAIRE: (laugh) Yeah.
NEIL GAIMAN: …is, over a decade, is gonna stack up, and … a lot of that must have been my fault.

PAUL CARUANA GALIZIA: The two end the call slightly awkwardly. Five days later, Neil Gaiman calls Claire again.

NEIL GAIMAN: So, I have a plan.
CLAIRE: Okay?
NEIL GAIMAN: And I wanted to run it by you… and see if it’s acceptable for you. Um… and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. A lot of – a lot of listening to what you were saying on the last call. Um… so… what you said about paying for your… therapy. (CLAIRE murmurs) I did the numbers and I went, “Well, that’s 10 years… at $500 a month,” which I make comes out to about $60,000.
Um… so what I would propose… is that I will give you 15 thousand dollars a year for four years. Which… is the – the top level of a tax-free gift.
CLAIRE: Mm.
NEIL GAIMAN: So I can gift it – I can gift you $15,000 each year. And you do not have to pay that, pay any tax or anything on that. That is just a gift. Um… and then, I’m gonna make a hefty donation, to… to the place you sent me the link to.
CLAIRE: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
NEIL GAIMAN: …And that is my plan, if that is acceptable to you.
CLAIRE: That – is really generous! Um, and I appreciate your – um – your appreciation for the –
NEIL GAIMAN: …You know, I did something so much shittier than I ever dreamed, that I – I didn’t even realize I was doing something shitty. I did something really shitty.

PAUL CARUANA GALIZIA: On the 2nd of August 2022, Neil Gaiman sends Claire $60,000 to cover the cost of her therapy. It’s not the first time Neil Gaiman has paid women he was involved with money. Two months earlier, he had sent some NZ$13,000 (which is nearly US$8,000) and a non-disclosure agreement to Scarlett after an allegedly abusive sexual relationship that lasted three weeks. And around 8 months before paying Claire, he had paid US$275,000 and an NDA to Caroline Wallner after he allegedly coerced her into providing him with sex under the threat of evicting her and her three daughters from his property.

Mr. Galizia and others who are actively investigating the allegations have assured us there is more to come. A lot more, I would imagine, considering some of the unpleasant things that are being uncovered and some of the unexpected connections that are now being made. At this point, given that we now have reason to suspect Gaiman of being another manufactured success, I don’t think it’s even entirely safe to assume that the actor playing the role of the writer necessarily wrote everything that “Neil Gaiman” is presently credited with having written; the larger question is how deep this particular rabbit hole is going to go.

#GaimanGate quote of the day: “Neil Gaiman’s work is for immature goths at an 8th grade reading level.”

Indeed.

An Insoluble Problem

The BBC is never going to keep itself out of the headlines, not as long as it limits its staff to the anti-traditional, the degenerate, and the diverse:

I want to acknowledge that this has been a demanding period for the BBC and everyone who works within it.

The shocking news about Huw Edwards and other stories, concerning some of our high profile shows, have put the BBC in the spotlight. It can be challenging for us all when the BBC becomes the headline. We work for this wonderful organisation because we care about what it stands for and the role it plays in society.

I know we have all felt let down and worried about the impact on the BBC. However, we hold ourselves to the highest standards and we know there will be lessons we can learn to ensure we have the strongest possible workplace culture.

Just wait. There will be more. There will always be more, because they’re not actually against most of it. They just don’t want the British public to know that.
