The Vanished Six Inches

Here is a question for you. Do you seriously believe that President Donald Trump is in the picture below, taken at the NATO summit meeting today? Even in the NBA, does anyone ever take pictures and put the 6’3″ guy in front? I should note that I very much doubt that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan is actually 6 feet tall, just as I refuse to believe that Emmanual Macron is genuinely 5’10” as some reports have had it.

Now, we can see how tall the Short Fake Trump is since we know that Macron’s actual height is, at most, 5’7″ tall.

Based on the available analyses, Emmanuel Macron’s height is most consistently reported as 5 feet, 7 inches. Two sources confirm this measurement: one from Business Insider ranking world leaders by height and another from a World publication specifically about the French President’s height.

I think it’s interesting they had Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, the woman in the funky green superhero jumpsuit, wearing something that obscured her footwear. However, since she is 5’8″, we can be confident that she is not wearing heels or she’d be towering over both Macron and the Short Fake Trump.

I await with interest the explanations of those who claim that there are no Trump body doubles and that it is simply an inability to understand the effect of camera angles accounting for the magic disappearing six inches of President Trump’s height.

UPDATE: further confirmation. The man in between Queen Maxima and the Short Fake Trump is King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. According to Schweizer Illustrierte, he is 6’0″ tall.

König Willem-Alexander und Königin Maxima: Fünf Zentimeter beträgt der Grössenunterschied auch beim Holländischen Königspaar: König Willem-Alexander misst 1,83 Meter, Königin Maxima 1,78 Meter.

More Kabuki

Iran launched at least 10 missiles at two U.S. military bases Qatar and Iraq on Monday in response to President Donald Trump bombing its nuclear labs over the weekend. Tehran targeted Al Udeid Air Base in Doha – where more than 10,000 American troops and 100 aircraft, strategic bombers and tankers are stationed – in a strike as President Trump convened his national security team at the White House. US officials had evacuated at least 40 aircraft from the base in recent days and moved an unknown number of troops, and said after Monday’s retaliation that ‘at this time, there are no reports of US casualties.’

Kabuki confirmed. Apocalypse-minded Christian Zionists hardest hit.

Iran coordinated the attacks on the American air base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimize casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans. The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp; they described it as a similar strategy to 2020 when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles an American base in Iraq following the assassination of its top general.

MIGA is Backpedaling Fast

Vice-President Vance: We did not attack the nation of Iran. We did not attack any civilian targets. We didn’t even attack military targets outside of the three nuclear weapons facilities.

US Vice President J.D. Vance does not support his country’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran, Reuters has reported, citing two informed sources.

Trump, Vance, and all the newly-converted neoclowns aren’t MAGA. They’re MIGA and now the whole world knows it. Trump has made the mistake of thinking that just because he jumped in front of the parade, the parade will go wherever he wants to go.

They’re all confirmed to be the owned property of Clown World. No matter how they spin and produce their own magic word spells, it’s not going to fool anyone who genuinely wants to make America great again, because foreign wars on behalf of AIPAC and Israel are exactly what has turned America into a pale and weak shadow of what made it great in the first half of the 20th century.

The stealth jet squadron slipped into enemy skies, moving into attack formation at ‘high altitude and high speed’, with lighter, more mobile F-22 fighter jets sweeping in front of the B-2s to shield them from any surface-to-air or air-to-air fire. There was none. Not a single shot was fired at any of the aircraft or warships involved in Midnight Hammer from the beginning of the operation to its end.

And that wasn’t suspicious at all? Nothing has been able to fly safely over Ukraine or Russia for the last three years, but USAF jets are just so gosh darn sneaky that Iran didn’t even lift a finger to try to stop them…

Sounds like another green flag to me.

Simplicius has reached a similar conclusion:

Iran knew the exact epicenter the B-2s would have to converge on and yet was unable to even attempt to engage them? Could the scriptwriters have written a more schlockily improbable series of events? They could have at least added a few ‘glory moments’ of F-35s and F-22s shooting down a couple Iranian fighter craft for effect.

Recall that the US was having severe problems even operating just outside of Yemeni airspace, with not only F-35s nearly shot down, but two F-18s lost to panicked defensive maneuvers, as well as one other shot down by US air defense, and a fourth “nearly shot down” in the same operation.

So, Houthi air defenses can engage F-35s, but an entire sky swarming with B-2s, F-35s, F-22s, and other planes were not detected at all by Iran, whose IADS is likely dozens of times stronger than Yemen’s? Keep in mind the Pentagon spokesman also said the strike package included fourth generation craft that flew all the way to central Iran, which presumably refers to F-16s and F-15s—but for some bizarre reason Iran “never fired a shot”.

Sound suspicious to anyone else?

And after all these strikes, countless claims of Israeli “total aerial control”, there is still not a single video of a foreign craft over the skies of Iran. The B-2s were even seen flying back over New Jersey on their ‘heroe’s return’, yet no one in a nation of 90 million saw or heard anything on this most ‘mysterious’ of nights.

Something’s rotten in the state of HasbarAmerica.

So, yes, I’m convinced Iran decided to take US’ offer and allowed safe passage of the strike package to rain a few insignificant ‘token’ strikes on Fordow with the understanding that this was the US’ price for exiting the conflict.

Now, there are rumors that Israel may use the given ‘off-ramp’ as pretense to likewise conclude a new deal and end hostilities, given that Israel has exhausted itself and is now losing a war of attrition against Iran.

Indeed, there has been what appears to be a certain amount of excessive bluster and over-the-top playacting of late.

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 Expansion of Human History

It’s fascinating to observe how we’re learning how fake modern scientage is, how misleading modern scientistry is, and how at the same time we’re learning more about genuine human history than ever before thanks to the relentless application of curiosity and technology. Because the truth, most of which is still undiscovered, is far more strange and complicated than the nonsensical modern narrative would have it.

Scientists who revealed an underground ‘hidden city’ in Egypt have announced the discovery of a second city they say ‘proves’ the existence of a massive subterranean complex linking the Giza pyramids 2,000 feet beneath the surface.

The newly-discovered shafts and chambers could rewrite history if confirmed to be true.  

The team of Italian researchers first claimed to have uncovered vast underground structures below the Khafre pyramid in March, igniting fierce backlash from mainstream archaeologists who called the findings ‘false’ and lacking scientific basis.

Famed archaeologist Dr Zahi Hawass is the team’s biggest critic, saying it is impossible for the ground-penetrating radar to see thousands of feet below the surface.

Undeterred by the scrutiny, the team has now reportedly detected similar shafts beneath the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main pyramids at Giza, months after their initial findings below Khafre. 

The Giza complex, west of Cairo, includes the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, along with the Great Sphinx. All shrouded in mystery due to their unclear construction methods, precise astronomical alignment, and still-debated purpose. 

Filippo Biondi, a radar expert from University of Strathclyde in Scotland and co-author of the research, told the Daily Mail that their data shows a 90 percent probability that the Menkaure shares the same pillars as Khafre. 

The team arrived at the probability ‘through objective analysis of the tomography data, which, as experimental measurements, strongly indicate that the structures we identified beneath Khafre are also present under Menkaure.’

‘We firmly believe that the Giza structures are interconnected, reinforcing our view that the pyramids are merely the tip of the iceberg of a colossal underground infrastructural complex,’ Biondi said. 

Note in particular the “fierce backlash” from archeologists as well as the appeal to their magic “Science”. This is downright comical because archeology doesn’t involve scientody at all; they don’t do experiments, there is no reproducing their nonexistent experiments, and their field doesn’t even properly merit being described as a science at all.

If archeology is “science” then so is cleaning your room.

Aside from defending their fictional narratives about the past and desperately trying to shore up the shattered remnants of the false theory about evolution, what is the point of crying Science about what is a straightforward claim about an observation of existing objects? There is no need for anyone to express an opinion when the Egyptian authorities can simply dig a hole and see if the perceived structures are actually there.

As Mr. Gioia observed, the entire structure of the modernist narrative is collapsing. It is so fragile now that one simple discovery of a past civilization will be sufficient to finish it off, which may explain the instinctively frantic denials on the part of the mainstream archeologists.

Omni-Narrational Skepticism Confirmed

If Clown World says it’s true, it is definitely fake and quite possibly gay. Forget the obvious frauds of The Ghost of Kiev, global warming, and Anne Frank, now the fake history of Harriet Tubman has been conclusively exposed to be completely fraudulent.

Harriet Tubman probably didn’t exist. I don’t mean the person. There was a Harriet Tubman, and she was a former slave – but she was also likely mentally handicapped from being hit on the head with a weight when she was 12. No, I’m not talking about whether a person existed. I’m talking about the entire mythos surrounding her supposed life; her “hagiography” in the Leftie cultural slop milieu that gets forced down the throats of every schoolchild starting in elementary grades.

There are, quite literally, no primary sources for her fabled exploits. Not a single one.

No historian can corroborate any of her supposed quotes, or any stories from her life. Which seems… odd, right? Considering how many she supposedly helped to free? Surely there’d be a record of someone, somewhere, whom she helped.

But there’s not. Why?

Turns out it all comes from one guy, quite literally an anti-White journalist who was named Earl Cohen. He wrote a couple books in the 1940’s – in which he only cites his earlier articles. It’s an absurd fiction that has been pushed on, quite literally, schoolchildren – to get them to hate their own people and history.

If they say it’s true, it isn’t. And it really doesn’t take much to expose their lies. It doesn’t matter what the supposed historical event was, if they said it happened, it probably didn’t, and at the very least, it didn’t happen in the way, or to the extent, they falsely claim it did.

Talk to the Hand

The French First Significant Other was making sure that Emmanuel Macron remembered who is the real boss:

Emmanuel Macron betrayed his true feelings after being shoved in the face by wife Brigitte in a ‘shocking’ incident in front of the world’s media, a body language expert has revealed.

The French President appeared to ball one of his hands into a fist as he disembarked his plane in Vietnam moments after arriving in the country on Sunday night, Judi James pointed out.

Speaking to reporters in Hanoi today, Macron said that the incident had been overblown, insisting: ‘I was bickering, or rather joking, with my wife. It’s nothing.’

But James told MailOnline that the interaction was far from a ‘playful’ moment of teasing between a husband and wife, as Macron and his inner circle had attempted to portray it.

‘I would not describe the gesture we saw from inside the plane as one of “play” as has been claimed,’ she said.

‘Pushing your partner in the face with your hand so hard their head reels to the side and they need to put a hand out to keep balance, especially with what looks like an extra “shove” at the end of the contact, should not be normalized by calling it “fun” just to save political face.’

Fascinating to observe that Macron should lie about Brigitte when the entire world can see the obvious truth. But is it the only thing he’s lying about with regards to his alleged wife? How likely is that?

I don’t see what the big deal is. To me, it just looked like two guys roughhousing…

Peter Turchin’s Substack

I’m a fan of Peter Turchin and his work in the historical field he has termed “cliodynamics”. He’s quantified and articulated a number of the things that those of us in the pattern recognition business had only dimly recognized, and it’s very exciting to see that he’s now permitting us to see more of his work outside his very good books, such as this recent post on the so-called French Wars of Religion:

I asked ChatGPT to give me a one-sentence explanation of the causes of this bloody and lengthy civil war. Here’s what it said: “The French Wars of Religion were primarily caused by growing tensions between Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots) in France, fueled by religious intolerance, political rivalries among noble families, and a weak monarchy unable to maintain order.” This answer perfectly encapsulates the standard story as seen in popular historical books, or online encyclopedias (LLMs, such as ChatGPT, are great at summarizing such common wisdom).

Readers of my books and blog posts would immediately realize that Cliodynamics gives a very different answer. Noble rivalries and religious tensions were what happened on the surface. But the deep structural causes of the FWR were popular immiseration, elite overproduction leading to intraelite conflict, and fiscal collapse of the state. In other words, the usual suspects when we talk about structural-demographic crises.

The Day of the Barricades (Paris, 1588), an ostensibly spontaneous popular uprising, which was in reality organized by counter-elites

What I’d like to do in this post series is delve a bit into these structural causes (for a deeper dive read Chapter 5 of Secular Cycles). I have two reasons to do so. First, the onset of the FWR gives us a nearly perfect example of how structural-demographic trends lead to state collapse and civil wars. Second, it was the fiscal collapse of the state that triggered warfare in c.1560. I wrote about the possibility of such a trigger for the America today in a recent post, where I concluded that we are fairly immune against it. But France in the sixteenth century was, most emphatically, not immune.

The ultimate driver, as usual in agrarian states, was population growth. During the integrative phase of the cycle (1450 to 1560) the population of France doubled: from 10–11 to 20–22 million. The French Kingdom in the sixteenth century was an overwhelmingly agrarian state and agricultural productivity couldn’t keep up with such massive population growth. As a result, food prices exploded. The price of a setier (a measure of volume) of wheat in livres tournois (the standard monetary unit in early-modern France) increased 10-fold between the 1460s and 1560s. Overpopulation created a high demand for food, inflating its price, and it increased the supply of labor, deflating its price. During the sixteenth century real wages lost two-thirds or more of their buying capacity. The daily wage of the Parisian laborer could buy 16 kg of grain in the 1490s, compared to less than 4 kg one century later.

Turchin makes it easy to see how the mainstream historical narrative is every bit as dumbed-down and falsified as the current news reporting. If you’ve got any interest in history or the truth, and if you’re here, you probably do, I highly recommend taking a gander at his substack.

Joe Biden’s Cancer

Which of the six Bidens was belatedly diagnosed with late-stage cancer?

Medical experts have declared it ‘inconceivable’ that former President Joe Biden’s ‘aggressive’ form of prostate cancer was not caught earlier by doctors.

The office of the 82-year-old former commander-in-chief announced his diagnosis Sunday, stating that Biden was suffering from a highly aggressive form of prostate cancer.

His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a devastating stage of the rapidly-spreading disease. The diagnosis came days after doctors found a ‘small nodule’ on his prostate.

But upon hearing the news, some of America’s top doctors questioned how a former president could be diagnosed with a late stage of prostate cancer – which can be detected early with routine bloodwork recommended for all men over the age of 50.

‘It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,’ wrote Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale.

I think Biden #1, the real Biden, died years ago. And while it’s possible that it’s a vaxx-related turbocancer that has simply progressed much faster than normal, I suspect this is just cleaning house now that the Six Bidens are no longer politically valid.
