He Was Always Sketchy

You’ll note that you never saw me paying much attention to Lin Woods. It appears he was a left-wing, grifting monkeywrencher all along:

Kyle Rittenhouse tells Tucker Carlson that Lin Wood and John Pierce could have bailed him out of jail in September but kept him in there until November to “raise money so they can take it for their own benefit. Not trying to set me free.” He says once they got the money up to get him out, they told him he would be safer in jail, had him do media interviews which were bad for him, and left him there while they continued to fundraise even more off it all. So any reader of Vox Day would have known not to do media interviews, but Lin Wood didn’t?

Lin Wood has for decades voted for and donated to Democrats, including Barack Obama and David Perdue’s 2014 opponent.

I am always very leery of anyone who rushes to get in front of the cameras, no matter what their beliefs are supposed to be or what reasons they profess. A cam whore is a cam whore, regardless of nominal industry.

Also, what part of “do not talk to the media” is hard to understand? And yes, this includes Tucker Carlson and Fox News.

How to Bring Down the Vaccine Regimes

Follow the rules. That’s it, just follow the rules exactly:

Four words: “Follow the rules exactly.”

That’s it? That’s it.

Any system? Any system.

There are reasons for this. These reasons are universal.

First, every institution assumes voluntary compliance in at least 95% of all cases. This may be a low-ball estimate. Most people comply, either out of fear or lack of concern or strong belief in the system and its goals.

Second, every institution has more rules than it can follow, let alone enforce. Some of these rules are self-contradictory. The more rules, the larger the number of contradictions. (There is probably a statistical pattern here — some variant of Parkinson’s law.)

Third, every institution is built on this assumption: partial compliance. Not everyone will comply with any given procedural rule. There are negative sanctions to enforce compliance on the few who resist. They serve as examples to force compliance. Conversely, very few people under the institution’s jurisdiction will attempt to force the institution to comply exactly with any procedural rule.

These three laws of institutions — and they really are laws — offer any resistance movement an opportunity to shut down any system.

Remember, they need your economic involvement with their system in order to function. So, all of the mandates and laws putting pressure on you to comply always have an out – after all, you don’t need to go to that movie, that restaurant, that sporting event. Many people who have been collecting unemployment and stimulus checks have even learned that they don’t necessarily need that job at the office. And you certainly don’t need to take out that loan, which is the US system’s Achilles Heel; the system literally depends upon an ever-growing pool of credit market debt paying interest.

But they need you. That’s why even the most evil corporations are suddenly “pausing” or ending their vaccine mandates, because so many productive individuals have chosen the perfectly legal option of accepting one of the various penalties rather than submitting to the economic and social pressure.

And if every single person had applied for an exemption rather than quitting or submitting, there is a very good chance that the corporate mandates would have been removed even faster.

That Failed Fast

In less than one week, Austria has already discovered that locking down the unvaccinated won’t keep the virus from spreading.

Austria will introduce a full lockdown that could last for three weeks on Monday in an attempt to tackle a new wave of Covid-19 infections. The government has also ordered the entire population to get vaccinated from February 1.

On Friday, conservative Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg told a news conference that a complete lockdown of the nation would begin on Monday and last for an initial 10 days. He stated that the restrictions could be extended if infection rates did not start to fall, but he insisted the lockdown would not exceed 20 days.

The measures concern the entire Austrian population. The government has already imposed a partial lockdown on the unvaccinated in an effort to reduce hospitalization rates amid a surge in Covid-19 cases.

When the full lockdown ends, restrictions will remain in place for the unvaccinated.

Of course, that last sentence reveals the true and coercive objective of the targeted aspect of the lockdown, which is trying to force the unvaccinated to pollute their pure blood. But it’s not going to work, as even the coercion itself is inspiring stronger resistance to the vaccines.

Despite the Austrian debacle, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Germany are all following Austria’s lead in locking down the unvaccinated; one can safely expect that these targeted lockdowns will fail within days as well.

UPDATE: Despite the complete failure of the targeted lockdown, Austria is actually going to try imposing compulsory vaccinations. This announcement follows the recent visit of the Soroses to Austria, which is probably not a coincidence. While the Austrians tend to be an obedient people, it would be surprising if this attempt to forcibly vaccinate the entire population did not lead to revolutionary violence.

Austria’s Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein both said a lockdown alone was not enough to end the “vicious circle” of increasing spread of the virus and repeated lockdowns. They announced that the government would begin preparing for a general vaccination requirement to come into effect in February 2022 at the latest. Mückstein said: “The lockdown will break the fourth wave; the way out of the fifth wave is vaccination, vaccination, vaccination.”

The new measures were announced after Austria recorded another all-time high for new daily cases on Thursday, with 15,145 cases reported in 24 hours.

Never Celebrate a Cuck

You can’t get demoralized or disheartened by a Republican doing what Republicans do.

Virginia Republican Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin will reportedly allow local mask and vaccine mandates to be implemented, including in K-12 public schools. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican Governor-elect of Virginia, will be allowing localities in the state – including cities, counties, and public school systems – to implement mask and vaccine mandates, but says he will not impose a mandate at the state level.

Republicans are all about the surrender game. The most important thing is to never, ever go on the offensive. Just defend and retreat, then defend and retreat again.

This is why I didn’t give a damn which of the two uniparty candidates won the governorship. At this point in time, “mildly less disastrous” is not going to accomplish anything that matters.

Hitting Them Where it Hurts

China is going directly after the wallets of the wealthy and well-connected Taipei politicians who seek separation from the mainland.

The Chinese mainland on Friday announced specific measures to punish diehard secessionists from the island of Taiwan, including prohibiting them and their families from entering the mainland and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and restricting their associated institutions from cooperating with organizations and individuals in the mainland for economic benefits, and they will be persecuted for life long for criminal liability.

Experts said the move on Friday is just the beginning to hold secessionists accountable, and shows that the complete reunification of the country is irresistible as the mainland is taking concrete measures on laws to remove obstacles. Those who attempt to split the island of Taiwan from the motherland would have no place to hide, and will face a life-long pursuit for their crimes.

Aside from entry ban, we would not allow the companies or paymasters of these diehard secessionists to profit from Chinese mainland, and will also take other measures to punish them, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, told a press conference on Friday.

Mainland slaps punishment for diehard Taiwan secessionists, Global Times, 5 November 2021

This is a just and rhetorically effective approach to create pressure for reunification on the leadership of the independence movement. Most of them profit considerably from their business with the mainland, and denying it to them will tend to reduce both their will and their influence while increasing the influence of the friends of the mainland.

After all, if they want separation from the mainland, why should they enjoy any benefits from its massive market? And the warning that they will be held accountable for life means that their future wealth and influence will be completely dependent upon the success of their secession plans.

It’s also evidence that the Chinese leadership has learned that subtlety and soft power can be more useful in some circumstances than overt threats of massive violence.

Fake President, Alleged Abuse

The FBI’s efforts in attempting to discover the leak of Ashley Biden’s diary strongly suggests its legitimacy despite its insinuations of child abuse by the alleged “President of the United States”:

While O’Keefe’s organization – a conservative-leaning muckraking outfit – had refused to publish the diary, they did claim to know where it was located and even alleged to have an audio recording of Biden herself admitting it was hers. In his video on Friday, O’Keefe said that the group was approached by tipsters who stayed “temporarily” in the same hotel room as Biden’s daughter, claiming that she “abandoned” the diary.

O’Keefe said that PV had turned the diary over to law enforcement after first reaching out to Ashley Biden’s attorney, who “refused to authenticate it.” O’Keefe said that he contacted the Department of Justice on his own volition and “conveyed unassailable facts that demonstrate[d] Project Veritas’ lack of involvement in criminal activity and/or criminal intent.” The group said it opted not to publish the diary because it couldn’t verify its contents or whether it truly belonged to Ashley Biden.

Despite initially adhering to the agency’s wishes – according to O’Keefe, at least – the FBI visits were followed up shortly by a call from a Times reporter demanding comment on the legal process. The FBI declined to confirm the raids, telling the Times that they “performed law enforcement activity related to an ongoing investigation” at two addresses without elaboration.

While Ashley Biden’s diary is bristling with potential bombshells – including repeated discussion of drug use, marital failure, multiple affairs and her issues with her father, whom she claimed to have showered with in situations that were “probably not appropriate” – the document was largely ignored by other conservative outlets and mainstream media. The diary also suggested that the younger Biden was sexually molested as a child.

Given Hunter Biden’s obvious psychological issues, it wouldn’t be even remotely surprising to learn he was sexually abused too.

Think it’s unlikely for a major politician to be a pedophile? The statistical odds are much higher than you might think:

AUSTRALIA: The List of the 28 Pedophile Politicians Has Been Released

The reason Australia’s pedo-protecting government gave on why they couldn’t release the results of the pedophile investigation was because they said it would cause people to lose faith in the system. Too late, faith is already lost. So Patriots released the list, and it is Patriots that’ll be administering justice.

Just Stop Already

I have less than zero interest in joining Jared Kushner’s gatekeeping site:

Former President Donald Trump said he will launch his own social media network called TRUTH Social in early 2022.

The new Trump Media & Technology Group said it will create a rival social network to the current ‘liberal media consortium’ and ‘fight back against the ‘Big Tech’ companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.’

Trump, who will serve as TMTG’s chairman, said, ‘I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.

‘This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!’

While Donald Trump was unquestionably the greatest president since Andrew Jackson, I am unlikely to support any of his post-presidential efforts. The man simply can’t be trusted due to the shady figures with which he still surrounds himself. And his refusal to support his followers who were arrested on January 6th, to confront the election fraud, or to support the existing alternative platforms indicates that he is no longer much more than a figurehead for those who have hijacked the MAGA movement.

Finally, he did nothing – literally nothing – to fight back against Big Tech while he had the ability and the power to do so. While I respect him for his historically great four years in office, as far as I’m concerned, his time is past.

Too Late to Shout “Stop!”

The Tree of Woe explains why it’s too late for conservatism:

Conservatism is dead.

Who would stand athwart history and shout “Stop” at this moment in time? America today is a dystopia.

The ruling class has pilfered the wealth and productivity of three generations of workers, financialized it into securities, and sold it to the globe. Now the factories and infrastructure of the country decay, and with them go our productive capacities. As productivity declines, purchasing power declines, so more currency is printed for billionaires. Productive wages languish while financial wealth soars. The hyperinflation of our currency spells doom for our consumption. “You will own nothing,” and you will not be happy.

Meanwhile, personal autonomy has been discarded in favor of the grossest arguments of collectivism. Parental rights have been handed over to the nanny state. The borders have been left open, even as our citizens have spent the last two years locked in their homes. The freedom of assembly has been abrogated. The freedom of speech has been obliterated. Through the mechanisms of Tyranny, Inc., the federal government has learned that any act or speech it wants to be regulated, it can have corporations regulate on its behalf.

Federal omnipotence is matched only by federal incompetence: The government is no longer competent to craft a budget, maintain a city, or win a war. It is no longer competent to even lose a war. A functioning autocracy can oftentimes achieve national greatness. A dysfunctional kleptocracy can achieve nothing but its own corrupt enrichment, and even that only until the citizens have nothing left to steal.

This is why the Nationalist Right, the Nationalist Christian Right, is inevitable. The alternatives have already failed. Globalism will fail. And we know, from the Bible, that both the nations and Christianity will survive until the end.

Proceed with confidence and serenity. No matter what names they hurl at you.

Watered Down

You can’t say I didn’t warn you. But you shouldn’t be surprised, because conservatives don’t ever play to win.

The final audit reports from Cyber Ninjas work in Maricopa County Arizona were released over the weekend. They appear watered down. What was removed?

In the final report, the statement calling for decertification was eliminated.

First, you can’t revive a corpse. Second, you’re not going to vote your way out of this. That ship sailed sometime between 1965 and 1980.

All Fizzle, No Sizzle

As Cyber Ninjas review of Maricopa County results appears to fizzle out, Texas responds to Trump call for Lone Star State election audit

Key word: “appears”. But this is what happens when you try to play things too close to your vest and impose your ideals about transparency and fairness on an uncaring reality. While it’s clear that there is sufficient evidence in the preliminary audit report alone to prove that Joe Biden was not elected President in Arizona, the cowardly reserve with which the report was presented, combined with the attempt to appear neutral and above the fray, has allowed the media to control the narrative.

Never permit those who prefer dialectic to dictate the rhetoric. Doing so vastly increases the probability of failure. This is why you don’t see many contract lawyers litigating in the court room.

The correct thing to do is throw rhetorical truth-bombs that are sufficiently backed up by conclusive proof to demolish the honest skeptics and corrupt critics alike. But you cannot omit either element and still reasonably expect success.
