Surely people defending covert biological weapons research wouldn't lie to me!

Seems like a trend of having nominally positive rulings for freedom with no actual impact on the bureaucracy's behavior. I've largely concluded that the Judiciary is essentially powerless now.

Author correctly recognizes that the fundamental instability of their constitutionless system is the core strength. The trouble of course that has lead them here in the first place is that "the people suck", or more correctly their elites do. As such their system does need fundamental reform in such a way that it no longer produces the human refuse currently filling Parliament.

Frankly, if the peasants could just learn about these psy-ops in general and understand the frequency with which they are employed by the social engineers over and over and over again with almost no variation, maybe just maybe, something would finally change for the better in the world because they wouldn’t fall for obvious scams so easily and drag us into them as well.

But I am not holding my breath.

Great insight that Z/Qanon stuff is just good ol' "Operation Trust" run by a bunch of thieves running a bust-out which ends in national suicide. War as always, remains a racket.

ChokePoint goes worldwide. Life in the USSA and it's latter-day warsaw pact

As expected. The only actual solution is to overturn the execrable CRA.

Lukashenko once again proved himself to be the only competent politician in the Slavlands

Basically the Tuvan Gangster Shoigu decided everyone had to be his minion. Wagner and the Cossacks told him to take a hike. The podcast with James Corbett is great.

By cheating with AI denoise.

Pentagram business as usual

Let the bailouts flow. Probably gonna be long till the election.

Any and all tools useful for citizen resistance against l'etat depredations will always be subject to villification by said rascals.

A 2023 "what then shall we do?"

We can conclude, then, that an obvious objective for Christian politics in the coming years is to check or even reverse the process by which expressive individualism has gradually supplanted the traditional understanding of the self and of social relationships in the law with a new understanding that is incompatible with orthodox Christianity.

Nice to see more coming around to the Inner-Light-enment being the core heresy at work here in the USA, mostly since the 70s. What it boils down to is that people instinctually get that malum-in-se things are always coercive destruction of agency. What the progs don't understand is that the church is as concerned with you doing this to yourself as it is to others. This is why it's so upset with suicide, abortion, transexualism etc. Massive destruction of your possible future for a mess of pottage.

From there the article is a pretty straightforward defense of subsidiarity which should be familiar to the readers of this site.

I remember around the turn of the century TXU's public plan being "lol just let shit fall apart, add no new capacity while we get to be parasites".

Show up as duke next stupid meeting you have to go to

By the 1960s, the systematic selection for competence came into direct conflict with the political imperatives of the civil rights movement. During the period from 1961 to 1972, a series of Supreme Court rulings, executive orders, and laws—most critically, the Civil Rights Act of 1964—put meritocracy and the new political imperative of protected-group diversity on a collision course. Administrative law judges have accepted statistically observable disparities in outcomes between groups as prima facie evidence of illegal discrimination. The result has been clear: any time meritocracy and diversity come into direct conflict, diversity must take priority.

The resulting norms have steadily eroded institutional competency, causing America’s complex systems to fail with increasing regularity. In the language of a systems theorist, by decreasing the competency of the actors within the system, formerly stable systems have begun to experience normal accidents at a rate that is faster than the system can adapt. The prognosis is harsh but clear: either selection for competence will return or America will experience devolution to more primitive forms of civilization and loss of geopolitical power.

A good companion to this is a recent article on South Africa, which is a vision of our future. Whites permanently disenfranchised scapegoats; Jews in their own homeland.

As the lube to shove the CBDC dildo up the body politic's ass. Hey, Airdrops worked for tons of other crypto scams. And few happened to notice they disproportionately hooked up certain wallets...

Much in the same way that Ludwig Von Mises showed the distribution of scarce resources via a price system that ignores the nature of human action, and instead favors central planning cannot overcome the economic calculation problem so too will artificial hierarchies be unable to overcome the distribution of human capital, or what I shall dub as the hierarchical calculation problem. From this we can surmise that artificial hierarchies will inevitably result in the same problems as artificial price systems, with the misallocation of human capital. This seems to be indisputable then that if you accept the idea that scarce resources can and will be misallocated through central planning that human beings will also be misallocated to positions of power that they should not inhabit, often to disastrous results.

I've written elsewhere about precisely this phenomenon in the corporation, and its corrosive results. Synthetic hierarchies are fundamentally what produce all the bizarre pathology described in "Moral Mazes" (the single-elimination ass-kissing tournament).

Sounds like their C3I and logistics are FUBAR and systemic control fraud abides. This is not an army that can win; Very reminiscent of the French army in the run up to WWII. Betting the farm on fortifications and ignoring the corruption in the organization to their own peril.

On the systematic control fraud present in all branches of the service. Basically nothing about operational readiness can ever be believed.

Software engineers will remain low status and of ill repute so long as lying and glad-handing is incapable of effectively motivating computers. It used to be this way in the Prussian military too; no amount of bullshit will stop a bullet.

Its hard not to conclude this has shattered the Ukranian ability to project force. The lessons of Brusilov, Mordacq and Bruchmuller remain relevant in a world of hard counters. The Russians are one of the few who are not squeamish about using penal brigades when a thing can be done by blood alone.

BONUS: USG isn't exactly squeamish about it either, they just don't talk about it.
To be fair, an all-dreg military is about the only non-dysgenic choice so I can understand the appeal.

When I say "Fraud is the Fundamentals" this is what I mean

Groundbreaking work. Glad to see actual progress here after so much failure.

Spy hysteria in full bloom on the other side of the pond.

If the USA was serious about "Slava"ing the lives of the Ukranians and Rus in general their policy would be very different than it is now. USG is supporting the Ukranian state which is unworthy of the sacrifice of even a single Ukranian.

Guns need men to fire them, and America is the most attractive place for people to migrate to. It would be straightforward to drain both belligerents' manpower pool with immigration policy such that combat operations are not viable. This is one of the core reasons the Soviet Union collapsed; the Berlin wall was the poster child for this. When a nation has to become a prison of serfs to keep things together its army quickly becomes incapable of anything beyond garrison duty. This is because a) that's costly and b) their best and brightest figure out quickly that an ounce of exit beats a ton of voice.

Instead what will we get? Tons of Rus boys get to enjoy the mobik to hamburger pipeline. Hordes of these young men that go fey will destabilize the region for a generation. All the contractors selling $31 million dollar blue tarps here will get away with it scott free, further damning these places to corruption. Millons of acres of land will be poisoned with heavy metals, and generations of people will end up missing legs thanks to landmines. Don't make me get Billy Mays out here, because just wait, there's more.

Anyone who thinks war through quickly figures out the worst peace beats the best war. People don't think it through because that would require a certain bell curve to be a standard deviation to the right of where it actually is. The discourse as such is deoxylated "military intelligence". If the above sentence requires explanation, here's your sign.

America could play a non-malign role on the world stage. That would require a level of intelligence that is clearly not here.

Hell, they can't even manage competently malign! USG may have the best weapons systems on earth, but its pearls before swine. These west point droolers hardly even use transformative weapons that are in the stockpile! They'd rather pretend these systems don't exist so they can keep zipping around in tanks and attack helicopters oblivious to the risk posed thereby. Meanwhile they waste hundred thousand dollar missiles blowing up $300 trucks rather than expose themselves to danger in these expensive boat anchors. But hey, at least they get to go home safe blowing up some shit 200km away that is as likely to be the milkman as Osama Bin Laden. I'm sure strategic hamlets will work this time. We just need to COIN harder guise.

Meanwhile the mainstream discourse is that it would somehow be "bad for America" if we don't smear such incompetence over the entire world. In reality, the reason the 20th Century went so well for the USA was because we largely allowed the war idiots to enervate themselves. Their loss was our gain. If the world descends back into chaos (which is far from guaranteed) we would be better than fine so long as we stay out of it. This of course won't happen, and China gets to laugh all the way to the banks in Taipei and Hong Kong.

The Matthew 5:5 strategy remains 100% vindicated. Stay strapped and hydrated my friends.
