I of course refer to the "Jesus Question". Which is to say, all of society's problems stem from people's personal weakness, pride and moral cowardice.

The Jewish Question and the current moment in America

Ultimately all the criticism of Jewish misbehavior are nothing particularly special. There are large subsets of Arab, Persian, Indian and African society currently reputed to engage in at least as much, if not more civilization-defecting behaviors. The hasbara line about it is essentially that people are mad that the Ashkenazim are simply better at being bad.

This of course flies in the face of evidence. The Jewish ethnic mafiosi are simply the ultimate beneficiary of the US' first wave of mafia formation thanks to early 20th century mass immigration. In the period between the NOF regime in '24 and Hart-Cellar in '65, it is not shocking that a period of mafia consolidation occurred. Lacking a hose of fresh coethnic victims, the gangsters ate each other alive and Sidney Korshak and his ilk came out on top.

This was not so much due to any particular genius on their part; gangsters are not particularly well known for their IQ. Nor was it their particular clannishness; many other ethnic groups at the time were as much if not more so. Ultimately it was an accident of history. The wrong people, in the right place at the right time.

JQ guys do have a point when they mention that this is not exactly the first time Jewish ethnic mafiosi have cordycepted a state. Unfortunately, they learn the incorrect lesson.

The reason this keeps happening is because the state itself is pretty much purpose built to corrupt people, and attract the corrupted. The ring of power does not exactly attract people who are not on some level aspiring to be Nazgul. Sure, AIPAC and its extended network of crooks are bad hombres. But if it wasn't them it would have been someone else.

History is full of many, many more examples of ethnic mafias holding outsized influence on the state and culture at large that were not Jewish. In fact it is so common as to be the default situation. Perhaps we should ask the Jurchen question? I'm sure the Han are. The state is nearly always a minority ethnic mafia coalition squatting on various other groups.

Even when it isn't, if the situation persists long enough, ethnogenesis occurs! This is essentially the whole story of how India's caste system formed in the first place. Reintegrating the Yakuza into mainstream Japan has proven nearly impossible, and they largely formed out of the shattered wreck of the prewar regime. As they say, the past is a foreign country.

Any sufficiently large group of cultural aliens will always form an ethnic mafia. Absolute depravity and all that, yanno? If you don't like religious argumentation, the "Geeks, MOPs and Sociopaths" essay from Vox Day ought to get you there.

So long as a fresh supply of coethnics is available to exploit, they will grow in power and influence. Cut off the supply and they will integrate into broader society, for both good and ill. Mafias don't become a charity overnight.

I mean sure culture and ethnicity are a spook and entirely made up. This does not change the fact that if people don't have these they hallucinate them into being every single time. We are pattern matchers, we have instincts and we gotta put shit in the bucket; this is how our minds work. Without a predictive model the organism can do no more than act randomly.

It is impossible to build a system in which being r-selected at least some of the time is not advantageous. Societal defection and all other manner of sin is inevitable. What is not inevitable is your reaction.

There is only one ideology worth holding and it is this:
Reward good behavior, Punish bad behavior.
Failing to do this (or doing the opposite) at scale is the root of our dysfunction. When you understand that this is most of the meaning of "love thy neighbor as you love thyself", you become enlightened.

All the gibbering and ocean of spilled ink is failure to pull the plank from our own eyes. We absolutely have the government and society we deserve. Demonstrated preference rules everything around me.

On the rise of assassinations as a political means. This is mostly due to both our government and Israel's being a mafia; hitting people isn't thought about twice by such organizations.

This phenomenon also exists within the federal bureaucracy itself. Managerialism is uniquely vulnerable to being conquered by ethnic mafias, thanks to the state's ruthless suppression of aboveground institutions lest they become a competing power-center.

On the insane corruption of Israel/Palestine. The Israeli regime itself is acephalous thanks to its gangster cordyception finally becoming fatal. About the only thing left to happen now is national suicide for everyone involved.

The fundamental problem is that neither side has any prospect ever of being actually sovereign, even if their wildest dreams came true. As such the only thing left to do is steal. Everyone of good moral character should just leave.

Neat technique. Perhaps less ionizing methods of propulsion are possible, but possibly not.

Nothing can be fixed so long as the inflationists remain in the drivers' seat. In particular at minute 26 he points out the root cause of most of the rot of our institutions. Because we can't just accumulate over our lifetimes, we have to be absentee company owners. This is the actual root cause of the culture of "organized irresponsibility" which has poisoned every single institution in society.

Wearing a rainbow wig and being a clown does not make one immune to color revolution

Yet another poorly analogized science journalism article. If you want to sell the idea, you have to explain Gravity and Weather as being the same exact thing. High pressure (entropy) tends towards low pressure. This naturally attracts and repels other high/low pressure systems based on their direction of spin. Think of gears engaging or not. Cyclones and Anticyclones; the cogs in the machine of creation.

Big T says 2 weeks, Hersh says this weekend. While the timing is ultimately irrelevant, this seems likely to happen, as the (corrupt, self-interested) motivation is the same as the Iraq and anti-daesh intervention; to steal oil and enrich a few Israeli firms our elites are balls deep in alongside our defense industry. We're also due another war (US goes in on average every 6 years).

If the theory from this book is ultimately correct, I would suspect the same forces remain at work. My prediction for such a scenario is that we'll go for a civil-war causing regime change operation with revanchist ethnic Azeris expanding the oil theft about Tabriz. This will enrich the Turks & Azeris enough to go along.

This will torch the MAGA movement entirely, and we'll get neoliberal regimes until the ship fully goes under.

It remains a very real question whether full on regime change is actually logistically possible for the US to pull off. The possibility that this turns into a real debacle is nonzero.

UPDATE: Signs the Euros are onboard. I presume they think this might ameliorate the fuel shortages caused by the war with Russia. They're suckers if they believe this. Of course, many of their elites are also engaged in shady dealings in Cyprus and Israel.

UPDATE 2: Things seem to have blown over, thankfully. However things have flared back up with the Houthis in the gulf, and so has the Israeli war with Hezbollah. This calm could very well be temporary.

So far Newsom has acquitted himself well. Playing the face to DJT's heel here is in fact exactly what the country needs. The question of the "broader" lost cause (whither centralization) is still very much alive, regardless of whether the narrow cause of Secession ultimately prevails. Both the pernicious influence of CA on DC and vice versa need to be drastically reduced.

What is good about him is the recognition that as a good leader there is no such thing as "not my job", and focusing on personal dignity when fighting a lost cause.

What's bad is his blindness thanks to being "the manager". His corn-pone is dependent on not realizing that excessive centralization has made every other manager totally unaccountable & uninvested in long-term success, so the principal-agent problem is eating the country alive. He doesn't even realize his compulsion for taking on more responsibility is the true source of the problem.

Of course, immediately gets to experience serious threats to their personal safety. Perhaps this will make them realize "what time it is" and that you won't break the leftist hydra's money machine without literally cracking skulls of these gangsters.

Apes with machineguns. The Pakis once again prove to be more competent, but that's not saying much, considering the Indian forces are little more competent than the average African warlord army.

UPDATE: this obviously has cooled off, making this yet again performative electioneering by both sides. Endemic corruption remains the saving grace and damning force of the subcontinent.

Horrifying read. If you didn't think "peter power armor" was the future, disabuse yourself of that notion right now.

This time it's FHA/FNMA itself falsifying that these mortgages are current through the "Fresh Start" program, which pays 'em off with taxpayer money rather than allowing foreclosure to sully the books, preventing these cretinous borrowers from having the attendant hit to their credit record. Risk is as a result systematically mispriced now, heaven help us.

Until now, revocation of a permanent residency Green Card could only occur if its holder had committed a serious felony such as murder or rape, but the empowered pro-Israel partisans of the Trump Administration have now stretched that law to include criticism of Israel or Jews, arguing that such criticism undermined the vital American national goal of combatting antisemitism across the world. When combined with last year’s bipartisan Congressional enactment of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, this might set a legal precedent for actually criminalizing such political views, especially if these can be portrayed as “providing material support” to such officially-designated terrorist organizations as Hamas.

The "deport them all" crowd are being useful idiots for this agenda, unfortunately. While these student visas shouldn't be issued to women in the first place (largely for making anchor babies from the "Mrs. degree"), that's what should be used as the reasoning rather than the third rail of US politics. However, as we all know sensible reasoning will be obstructed at every opportunity and instead the only way to get anything done is because Israel wants it. As such if we get some flavor of authoritarianism out of this, it will be in pursuit of said interests, as the lobby is the only thing capable of suppressing all meaningful opposition to it.

I have never operated a site accepting UGC ever since COPPA. This is far worse, and technically applies to Email servers too. I recommend DNS blackholing the .uk gTLD entirely, much like you would north korea, and most non-anglo or new gTLDs for spam.

As expected, unless Congress de-appropriates no real change will occur. Congress would rather die, nearly to a man, than spend a single penny less. Trump remains "Just fishing" in the Rubicon, and very much doesn't "know what time it is". Look, the "Whole of Society" Gleichschaltung machine that will murder freedom permanently in the US is intrinsically tied up in this. If you can't fix blank-check appropriations, the machine will be right there whispering sweet nothings into the next administration's ear. Throw the damn ring into mount doom, dumbass.

Danny and guys like him being anathema in DC is why nothing will be done about the single-elimination ass kissing tournament and the epidemic of lying in the military.

It'll be interesting to read someday how the DoD fumbled the lead on this transformative technology.

Bill makes a convincing case for why the Trump admin's anti-cartel action is going to result in backdraft that drags into a hell which quite possibly will be the final crisis for the postwar consensus regime.

Tinkzorg knocks it out of the park as usual. The lesson to anyone paying attention to this and J6 is straightforward; when the insane elites in Washington finally decide to turn the key on the tyranny machine they've been building we can in fact just march to Washington and strangle the monster that's been squatting on us for generations.

On the status of the Shale plays. Unlikely production in any of the known fields can increase. Bullish Uranium.

Interesting theory by the silicon valley AI cultists.

Detailing their various plans to criminally defraud and steal in the event of a crisis, largely justified by the vile changes to the UCC. Someday people will acknowledge their blanket security interest in their property, and deliver it unto them (and thereby perfect said interest) at high velocities.
