After scrolling past my thirtieth dead person of the day, I have to ask myself? Am I fucked up now? Is this getting to me? Seven (7) months of nonstop genocide, four (4) years of nonstop plague, plus just being fortysomething (41). At some point it adds up, but where is that point? How would I even know? If the ...
0:00 /4:00 1× Just a man with a plan running up on bunch of tanks. Al Qassam Brigades, via RNN Call me Indiana Jones, cause a lot of Nazis tanks are getting blown up in this episode. This is footage of Bizarro Nazis getting blown up, which I find therapeutic, but I'm a bit traumatized. Aren't you? This is ...
Image based on a real protest photo, from 'the Chinese Internet', whatever that meansIn my earlier analysis, I said that 'Israel' was fighting a six-front war. At that time, the weakest front was the Western, but not anymore. Hundreds of US University campuses have been occupied by students and—having learned nothing from history or even the present—the authorities reacted with ...
Virgil Reading the “Aeneid” to Augustus, Octavia, and Livia, who can't fucking take itI have learned three things about America since leaving America. The first is that I didn't leave America, it's a big White Empire and I'm still in it! The second is that every accusation is a confession. For every finger pointing out, a billion middle fingers point ...
“Nav War Map” issued by the U.S. Navy Department near the end of World War II. Military supply routes became 'trade' routes.The simplest way to understand America's 'grand strategy' is to be a historical simpleton. If you don't read the news and just look at things from a 10,000-year view, America is just another empire. Empires conquer land and take ...
Christ driving the moneylenders from the temple, by Rembrant. They came backThe separation of church and state is a deep western value. Secularism is the liberal value par excellence, you can have faith, but keep it to yourself, and certainly out of governing. But given that western values also include killing children, we have to question such things. Long ago—in ...
The age of America's 'strategic sea lift' (ie invasion) fleet. (Via Sal Mercogliano)Depreciation is my favorite part of the Renaissance art of accounting (shout-out Luca Pacioli, Da Vinci's homie). Depreciation is the idea that if I buy a machine 'worth' $100 I 'use up' that machine at, say, $10 a year. In 10 years the asset is 'dead'. Depreciation is ...
Not my kitten, but apparently my problemWe have a friend who has 27 cats and a special account at the fish market and the sand market and that's who my daughter wants to be when she grows up. She wants to start something called a 'cat farm' which I've told her is not a thing, and also not desirable. She ...
Since October, my Medium earnings have dropped by two-thirds. I haven't changed quantity, quality, or even the general subject of writing, but you know what happened in October. Since then, I've gone from earning about $1,400 a month to $400. I went from adding 2,000 'followers' a month to as low as 6. These days, I'm lucky if 300 people ...

Hamas fighters with the people they defendResistance does not evolve in a vacuum. Resistance is, by definition, the reaction to occupation. Western media portrays resistance as 'terrorism', that is, inexplicably violent, but never questions what they are doing in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, or even in the West at all. Their propaganda breaks the concept of causality, everything is ...
"For the oranges not yet picked from the trees nourished by the blood of our martyrs, and for the keys hung around necks far from home, we persevere.

Please explain to me how Europe is a continent. It's just NW AsiaIf you were trying to destroy Europe (again and seemingly again), you couldn't come up with a more cunning plan than the Americans. Just prey on their delusions of being better than those Asians to cut them off from the continent they're actually in. Which is precisely what's ...
“Today, like every day, Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram stood at the White House calling for an end to the genocide. For over six months Marione and her husband have held a daily protest at the White House” (via). I think this is her speaking here.If there was ever a time to say Jews control the world, this is it. A ...
The Bonhomme Richard burning in 2020Now that we've discussed why America's military is falling apart (getting older but not wiser). Let's discuss how. Specifically, which wheels are falling off. Planes, ships, and ground forces, it's all depreciating into dust. What we've discussed is that the American military, like the American economy in general, is a Ponzi scheme. It pays off ...
Nothing to see here, just the wheels falling offA C-5 crash in Dover, 2006To understand the state of America's military, just look at their Secretary of State. Antony Blinken's custom Boeing has been grounded twice this year. Meanwhile, ships Joe Biden sent to Gaza have caught fire or broke down along the way. The US military loses every war, misses ...
George Washington and Lafayette at Valley Forge, which was effectively a retreatAs the anthropologist Wade Davis said, the United States never stood down after World War II. He said, “The United States, virtually a demilitarized nation on the eve of the Second World War, never stood down in the wake of victory. To this day, American troops are deployed in ...
The math problem of hypersonic missiles, which is just one problem (via)Missile defense is a fascinating idea—that you can shoot down arrows with other arrows—and it actually works. It's just wildly uneconomical and doesn't always work. It's no substitute for sane policy and diplomacy. Missile defense is not some magic shield that allows you to be a total asshole and ...
Brother Dawn, Brother Day, and Brother Dusk. From the show Foundation, viaI was in the car with my parents and kids and my kids were like “who's in charge here?” It's a good question, though they just wanted to resolve some inane point of order like 'whose feather is this?' The best rationale we could settle on for self-governance was ...
The point of Iran's hits on 'Israel' wasn't carnage. It was communication. They told the enemy they were going to hit them, let them get ready, and then hit them anyways. The point of these hits wasn't mayhem. It was to send a message. The message is that Iran can hit 'Israel'. 'Israel's' air defenses are not impregnable. This was ...
