• Pelosi says rioters chose their ‘whiteness’ over democracy
  

  “When that assault was taking place on the Capitol, 3,865 people in our country died of the coronavirus, many of them people of color because of the injustice of it all,” Pelosi said.

  Pelosi then shifted to Jan. 6, which she remarked is “the Feast of the Epiphany,” a feast holiday celebrated widely among Christians after Christmas that is often referred to as “Three Kings Day.”

  “I thought it was going to be an epiphany for those who were in opposition of our democracy to see the light,” Pelosi said. “Instead, it was an epiphany for the world to see that there are people in our country, led by this President, for the moment, who have chosen their whiteness over democracy. That’s what this is about.”

  For the Left, everything centers on equality. You are either working toward equality or against it. If you are working toward it, any methods that you use are acceptable and good, especially if they are neither because horror, terror, doubt, violence, coercion, bullying, and shame are effective tools and the Left fully endorses these (if used to promote equality). Conveniently, you can justify just about anything as “promoting equality,” especially whatever you are destroying or stealing, because if someone has something that someone-else does not, it must be removed so that equality can reign. Equality really means an assumption of “equal reason,” or in other words pluralism, the notion of “agree to disagree” in which no one can ever be wrong, so any higher standards, realism, common sense, logic, or goodness must be removed so that no one is wrong. Equality is the mental virus of control, and it is addictive to human beings like drugs, gambling, over-eating, procrastination, narcissism, and scapegoating. It lets us project our problems onto the external world so that we do not have to change, adapt, or evolve. It lets us escape the karmic cycle of having to react to life and, knowing those reactions will come, plan around life. With equality, we can be as solipsistic as we want. Minorities are a symbol of equality, just as pedophiles are, because if we tolerate the most extreme cases, the ordinary person then too will be tolerated despite their defects. This pathology compels the people who vote for crazed criminals (and spawn of rapists) like Nancy “Hairy” Pelosi. For this reason among others, any civilization that wants to survive must avoid diversity in all forms, including race, ethnicity, and religion. The problem is not the ingredients in diversity (groups like Jews, Whites, and Africans) but diversity itself. Like other forms of equality, diversity operates through a presumption of equality and then penalties for those who are successful when anyone else is still unsuccessful, leading to a compulsive transfer of wealth, power, and status from the productive, creative, aggressive, and sane to the parasitic, repetitive, passive, incompetent, and insane. Pelosi and her ilk use minorities as a tool to stay in power for the benefit of that latter group of parasitic and insane people. We cannot both avoid Communism and have diversity. She has just given us this epiphany.

• Lifting Self-Imposed Restrictions on the U.S.-Taiwan Relationship
  

  Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and reliable partner of the United States, and yet for several decades the State Department has created complex internal restrictions to regulate our diplomats, servicemembers, and other officials’ interactions with their Taiwanese counterparts. The United States government took these actions unilaterally, in an attempt to appease the Communist regime in Beijing. No more.

  The Left has “the fix is in”; Trump built infrastructure during those four years, including human infrastructure. He will return to power and Joe Biden is going to jail. Pompeo, acting on the anticipation of this continuity, just ended “one China” policy, where the US treats Taiwan as part of China and not an independent nation. As you know, in 1949 the Chinese Communists took over the country through revolution, and the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang) retreated to the island of Formosa, where they created a new nation based on Chinese culture instead of the internationalist ideology of egalitarianism. This enrages China to this day, and they want the US dead because the US obstructs Chinese takeover of Taiwan. By making this change, Pompeo has signaled a permanent disconnect from American policy of the last sixty years that seeks to appease China, and moved us to a war footing in order to intimidate the Chinese into avoiding acts that will independent of us trigger a bloody world war. Most likely, he has tangible proof of Chinese involvement, with a corrupt US agency as collaborators and the DNC collaborating with them, in the theft of the 2020 election by digital voter fraud. If you wonder why you have not seen the “big proof” yet, consider that it will be needed for the coming indictment of China. Beijing is playing a dangerous game, which shows us how unstable China is behind the walls of faked figures, censorship, and repression as we see in the ongoing Hong Kong takeover. The world is about to unite to stop China; however, China cannot stop itself, because as usual, socialist systems implode of their own lack of momentum.

• Hong Kong protest-related website says users’ access blocked
  

  “After discussing and investigating with our supporters, we found that some ISPs of Hong Kong have deliberately dropped any connection to our servers, so that the user could not receive replies from our servers, resulting in an inability to access our content,” chief editor Naomi Chan said in a statement.

  How interesting that while private industry in the US is busy censoring and deplatforming internet sites, China is doing the same. Almost as if it were coordinated. The Left fears realism because if you adopt a reality-based outlook, you have no need for conjectural theories like “all humans are equal” which seemingly can only be proven through a begging-the-question fallacy, e.g. “we have to pass the bill to see what is in it.” Sane people rely on what has worked in the past, and then tweak that to optimize it and achieve maximized qualitative results. Insane people find a theory they like, assume that it will work, and then force it on the rest of us so that we cannot do anything if it does not work. This is human egoism, selfishness, narcissism, and most of all, solipsism, writ large, and it happens whenever groups of humans come together, work together, and start valuing compromise over autistic clarity as a result. Our only salvation comes in re-affirming the need for a society where realism can always be discussed. Notice: I did not say “free speech.” Free speech presupposes the equality of speakers, and most people are idiots full of hot air and gibberish, so you do not want to hear from them. A sane society selects its best breeding material, makes a higher caste out of them, and lets them discuss the big issues without fear of retribution, even disagreeing in extremity, but remaining civil, as was the case in Victorian times. We have fallen far from that height, but this was made inevitable by The Enlightenment,™ which emphasized “equal (minimum) reason” among all citizens. Obviously this is not the case. When China self-destructs and connections to American Leftism are demonstrated, we will get our “Berlin 1945 moment” for liberal democracy and move back toward monarchism, tradition, nationalism, culture-rule, caste, eugenics, and exclusively using systems which reward performance, instead of reward-before-performance systems like equality.

• Trainer Barred in New York and Other States for Giving Horse a Racist Name
  

  On New Year’s Day, Guillot tweeted that he was giving a 3-year-old colt a “unique name in honor of a TVG analyst,” adding a Black fist emoji. When a follower asked the name, he responded, “GRAPE SODA,” which can be a racist term directed at African-Americans.

  The following day, Guillot, tweeted again about the colt’s workout, characterizing it as smooth as a “menthol Kool” with a Black hand giving the thumbs-up symbol. The tweet was later deleted.

  People are sick of diversity. If you listen to The New York Times, a.k.a. Pravda-on-the-Hudson, there exists a vast vocabulary of racist language which White people use behind closed doors. For those of us who are normally accused of “racism” — a made-up term referring to preferring that your own group exist separately so that you do not perish of genocide by outbreeding — these articles are very hurtful, mainly because they make us feel incompetent. What the heck is African-American about grape soda? Most of the people I knew who drank grape soda were White, as were most who smoked menthol Kools (1970s brand of cigarette). We probably need Racism Studies Departments at our top universities to catalogue, record, and analyze these things.

• Twitter allows ‘Hang Mike Pence’ to trend hours after Trump ban
  

  Twitter allowed public calls to hang Vice President Mike Pence to trend on its platform Saturday morning just hours after the account for President Trump was permanently suspended for inciting violence.

  Obviously, bans for “inciting violence” are not about inciting violence, but about being from the wrong side of the aisle.

• Pentagon moves forward with renaming of bases named after Confederate leaders
  

  The commission is mandated under a $740 billion defense policy bill that went into effect when Congress voted on New Year’s Day to override Trump’s veto.

  President Trump has argued in the past that stripping Confederate names from military bases means washing away history. Meanwhile, President-elect Biden supports removing the names.

  Our Democratic Congress, in whom we have no faith because it is entirely plausible that they are in office only because of voter fraud, want to erase White history in order to pander to their minority-and-soya base. The two final bills approved by Congress, the NDAA and COVID-19 relief bill, were designed to sneak in end-of-year pork while avoiding substantive issues, and the Democrats wanted to get in their latest attempt at humiliating and subjugating the White population so that it will stop resisting the slide into Mongolian Communism.

• U.S. Department of State Approves New Cyberspace Security Bureau
  

  In September 2020, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report underlining that the Department of State did not involve relevant federal agencies in its effort to establish the CSET Bureau, especially since these agencies too are involved in cyber-security.

  When your government gets too big and becomes dependent on compromise, you have the pre-9/11 situation again, where multiple competing agencies do the same tasks and do not share information, because that would mean losing power. Consequently, there will be a proliferation of big fluffy agencies like this, followed by concentrating them all into an immense bureaucracy, at which point hackers can probably walk up to the White House and ask for passwords. Free market solutions work better because they are responsive, therefore instead of appearance-based “accountability,” tend to reward performance by exceptional individuals so these can rise and take over vital responsibilities. All of the efforts of government to regulate and tax the free market seem designed to end this process so that society can be “equal,” or in other words assume that people have equal reason and therefore subsidize them for doing mediocre jobs of following procedure instead of requiring them to think, understand, imagine, or act decisively. Groups favor whatever obligates the individual the least and protects him the most from criticism by others; this is why leaders are required, to re-impose reality on solipsistic humanity.

• Japan detects new COVID-19 mutation in travelers arriving from Brazil
  

  The newest variant appears to be different from the highly infections strains being blamed for an explosion in cases in Britain and South Africa, the ministry said.

  As said before: coronaviruses tend to evolve to be far less dangerous because they all want to be the common cold. The common cold never misses a meal; SARS and MERS miss meals because they kill their hosts, and those hosts then cannot spread the virus further. They either have to increase their incubation period so people scatter them around for weeks before taking sick and getting the ick, or they have to make themselves a constant low-level parasite, sort of like taxes, utilities, and the dickheads who gun their engines late at night on otherwise quiet roads.

• Trump’s refugee community veto shot down in court
  

  But the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said immigration law doesn’t envision such a veto power, and the president can’t grant states, cities and counties one on his own.

  Judge Barbara Milano Keenan, an Obama appointee who wrote the opinion for the three-judge panel, also said the Trump administration’s plans were unworkable, because it’s not clear who at the local level would have the power to speak for a community.

  The law has become a large ACKCHYUALLY debacle at this point. Did he allow for a better application of the law, bringin in local authorities, or did he create a “right”? Since we now use “right” to mean “any plausible claim to something owned by someone else,” the term has become nearly meaningless. These judges are stretching legal interpretation to the point of rendering consistency obsolete and the law meaningless. They will do anything for equality points.

• Iran Storms Ship of Key US Ally South Korea
  

  “It appeared the Islamic Republic sought to increase its leverage over Seoul ahead of negotiations over billions of dollars in Iranian assets frozen in South Korean banks amid a U.S. pressure campaign targeting Iran,” The AP reported.

  The US is squeezing Iran, China, and Russia because these three show up time and again as bad actors. The late twentieth century “Reagan method” of dealing with bad guys is not to bomb them, but to cut off world commerce from them so that their unstable and repressive schemes self-destruct on their own. This would have worked against all of the Communist states and National Socialism, which despite appearing to be stronk was internally unstable once it ran out of things to fix, and it crawled into its own navel with neurotic violence. The Iranians hate being boxed in because they depend on constant jihad as a way to unite their people and keep them from freaking out about the lack of running water in much of the country, so they still have dreams of being an international power with nuclear weapons, even though that means that it will be easier to find Israeli F-35s over Tehran than a functional toilet. Consequently, when South Korea seized funds that Iran was going to use to blow up small children or indulge its other hobbies, Iran hijacked a Korean ship. This is a blatant violation of international law and will end badly, most likely when those Israeli F-35s decide to target non-military infrastructure. Then again, when you live in a cinder-block dumpster with a corrugated tin roof and get your water from a communal well right next to the public bodily functions ditch and the stoning pitch, you probably do not care if the Iranian internet, industry, or radio stations go offline.

• Pope urges U.S. to protect democracy, shun violence after mob attack
  

  “I repeat that violence is self-destructive, always. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost,” the pope said in his Sunday address.

  We can find the essence of Communism in the human herd, or utilitarianism, a.k.a. “what most people think will make them happy.” The kicker is that most people have no idea, so they defer to what they think the group will support, because humans desire most of all not to be wrong in a social setting. They want applause when they speak, not boos, because only with applause do they become socially successful and thus, have power. With power, you can get anything, including wealth and the right sexual or breeding partners. Groups support what they think individuals want, which is to not be wrong, to never lose social rank, and to get something from the group that buys their loyalty. Are people as easily domesticated as dogs, birds, cats, snakes, and rodents, namely by giving them food at the same time everyday and promising to “love” them and therefore not harm them? Yes, yes, they are. This herd however denies the need to make decisions, including having standards, aesthetics, norms, mores, and goals. Every group has these. The harder you try not to have them, the more you have them, although simply in the form of anti-standards, etc. These anti-standards consist of pointless displays of anarchy, apathy, and independence, and are so unrealistic that they quickly lead to a chaotic third-world society. The pope, by saying that violence is bad, is essentially saying that we should never make decisions. If you try to make decisions, you will clash with others, make enemies, and have to fight them. However, by doing that, you keep moving toward decisions instead of heat-death, which comes through either pointless repetition or entropic decision-making as we see in neurotic minds. All of these things are denied by polite society, which relies on the pretense of humans being above animals and having deliberate behaviors to hide what venal little bickering monkeys we are.

• Days of disturbing Facebook posts end with cross-city shooting spree
  

  No motive has been given for Jason Nightengale’s hours-long violence binge, but dozens of videos posted to his Facebook page since January 6 show him flashing a gun, sizing up potential crime victims as they sit in cars, drinking, smoking, and gradually descending into a seemingly deranged mental state.

  Clearly it is time for Apple, Google, and Amazon to deplatform Facebook.

• Mexico president slams social media ‘censorship’ after chaos in U.S. Capitol
  

  “I don’t like censorship,” he told a news conference. “I don’t like anyone to be censored and for them to have their right taken away to send a message on Twitter or on Facebook.”

  Leftists in the first world want to take over and dominate. Leftists in the third world, having lived through a few iterations of that, are as skeptical of Murcoms (‘Murkan Communists) as Eastern Europeans are.

• Amazon cuts off Parler’s Web hosting following Apple, Google bans
  

  It also seems that Parler is still trying to determine its position on content moderation. You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency. Your CEO recently stated publicly that he doesn’t “feel responsible for any of this, and neither should the platform.”

  We are conservatives. We do not think that it should be moderated. You are protected by § 230 from legal liability, so you (Amazon) have no legal interest in forcing this removal. You are simply avoiding complaints from the legions of busy baristas out there sending in wail-and-scree emails from their iPhones while standing behind the counter at Starbucks, hoping someday to pay down $50k in loans despite their major budget item being in-game purchases and marijuana. Stand up for a functional net. As said here before, America needs to go back to common carrier and stop subsidizing censorship and bullying by these apparently idiot-run companies. It would also help to kill off the H-1B licenses that are outstanding, since these people seem to be a mixture of clueless, incompetent, and vengeful when given any authority over natural Americans.

• FAO Food Price Index hits a three-year high in 2020, following additional gains in December

The FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) averaged 107.5 points in December 2020, up 2.3 points (2.2 percent) from November, marking the seventh month of consecutive increase. Except for sugar, all sub-indices of the FFPI registered modest gains in December, with the sub-index of vegetable oil again rising the most, followed by that of dairy, meat and cereals. For 2020 as a whole, the FFPI averaged a three-year high of 97.9 points, 2.9 points (3.1 percent) higher than in 2019, but still well below its peak of 131.9 points registered in 2011.

Signs of a moribund economy: production slows, and prices go up for food items. Why is food so important? Agriculture is the core of a permanent civilization. A society which cannot feed itself will die. Funnily enough, Leftist societies do worst at this. It turns out that letting crazy China and deranged Democrats take over the world with the paranoid “we are all immortal, except for COVID-19 which will kill us all” lockdown panic has created a second Great Depression, probably worse than the first. We need leaders like Trump and Farage to clear out Leftist rules and taxes so that economies can bounce back as much as possible, since every ounce is going to count in the coming days.

• World population likely to shrink after mid-century, forecasting major shifts in global population and economic power
  

  Using novel methods for forecasting mortality, fertility, and migration, the researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine estimate that by 2100, 183 of 195 countries will have total fertility rates (TFR), which represent the average number of children a woman delivers over her lifetime, below replacement level of 2.1 births per woman. This means that in these countries populations will decline unless low fertility is compensated by immigration.

  What makes groups die out? They spend all their time at their jobs instead of with their families. They cut costs by having fewer children. Then, they import third world foreigners to fill the population gap and everyone figures it is over, and stops breeding for real. Typical democracy event.

• HK may prosecute Danish politicians who aided Ted Hui’s self-exile
  

  Danish parliament members Uffe Elbæk and Katarina Ammitzbøll were said to have organized the meeting for the ex-lawmaker to attend.

  Under the national security law, a person who is not a permanent resident of Hong Kong committing offences against Hong Kong outside the city can also be prosecuted.

  Here we see another problem of globalism: if you set up international law, bad actors will abuse it, and then you cannot do anything to them, since they will simply not comply. What are you going to do, exile them from your shared flat world economy? No: you will compromise in the name of peace. Appeasement never works but people try it anyway. That just lets them know that they can get away with it, so they become typical narcissistic abusers. They bully you, then cry to you about how misunderstood and underloved they are. Like any abusive relationship, this one shifts all of the burden to you. When they are mean to you, it is your job to comfort them; when they are not mean to you, you had better comfort them or they will attack. Globalism has the same flaw as diversity: the focus on togetherness imposes a boundary, a false border of acceptance, tolerance, and equality that ropes together the participants. This means that dishonest actors can abuse that trust, eventually erasing it over time, at which point society becomes like the third world, “every man for himself.” When this hits international politics as China has forced it to do, then you get world war.

• U.S. Capitol siege a ‘wake-up call’ for democracies, top EU diplomat says
  

  “In case anyone had any doubts, the events in Washington also show that disinformation constitutes a real threat for democracies,” Borrell said. “If some people believe that an election was fraudulent, because their leader has been once and again telling them, they will behave accordingly.”

  We had the wars against monarchy, the wars for democracy, and now we get the wars against “disinformation.” World Leftism seems the goal within its reach. It becomes greedy and restless. This should tell it that it is unstable, but it is so fixated on its own power — and the Utopia it sells to the roundheads — that it does not even notice its own quivering. However, if anyone notices, democracy has just inverted itself. We adopted it for freedom and equality, but now no one is free to think certain things, and no one is equal, since only those who are professional victims (boxwines, soyboys, homosexuals, minorities) and the bureaucrat class are equal; the rest of us are targets. This does not end until we end it. We need a “Berlin 1945 moment” for liberal democratic market socialism.

• The US economy lost 140,000 jobs in December. All of them were held by women
  

  According to new data released Friday, employers cut 140,000 jobs in December, signaling that the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic is backtracking. Digging deeper into the data also reveals a shocking gender gap: Women accounted for all the job losses, losing 156,000 jobs, while men gained 16,000.

  Meanwhile, a separate survey of households, which includes self-employed workers, showed an even wider gender disparity. It also highlighted another painful reality: Blacks and Latinas lost jobs in December, while White women made significant gains.

  As schools and day cares closed, many were forced to make hard trade-offs between work and parenting.

  The proof and the expiation: public schooling is daycare, created so that women can work, and when it goes away, they homeschool and become homemakers. Do this with all of society, and we have half the labor pool, therefore all of us get paid more. The Joe Biden $23/hour minimum wage exists to lure women back to work, so that we need schools, so that the great pork barrel feast can continue despite the radically low quality of American education and low biological quality of our students.

• Chinese Embassy tweet about Uighurs and birth rate draws instant condemnation
  

  In a tweet Thursday, the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. shared the report, saying that Muslim women in Xinjiang province are “no longer baby-making machines” and that the decrease in population growth throughout the province led to a drop in terrorism.

  China had to re-do the Soviet experiment with diversity. At first, it seems like a good way to zap the ol’ US of A: how can you talk about freedom when your Negroes are enslaved? But as is the case with most propaganda, the people telling the lie ultimately come to believe it. That meant that China embraced diversity for awhile, until they saw with striking clarity how it was failing and recognized that it could never work. Since then, they have adopted the Chinese version of “Russification”: Han Chinese get all of the important public positions, and foreigners get forced to behave like Han Chinese. This will work until they encounter a group of foreigners, like for example Mongolians repatriated from the New World, that has no problem pretending to be Chinese, knowing that their own culture will win out in the end through intransigence, inflexibility, and thriving in ghettos far from the watching eyes of the host population.

• Capitol police were overrun, ‘left naked’ against rioters
  

  The revelations shed new light on why Capitol police were so quickly overrun by rioters. The department had the same number of officers in place as on a routine day. While some of those officers were outfitted with equipment for a protest, they were not staffed or equipped for a riot.

  Once the mob began to move on the Capitol, a police lieutenant issued an order not to use deadly force, which explains why officers outside the building did not draw their weapons as the crowd closed in. Officers are sometimes ordered against escalating a situation by drawing their weapons if superiors believe doing so could lead to a stampede or a shootout.

  Now we hear more of the story. The cops either refused to prepare, having tired of the Democrats and their “defund the police” rhetoric, or more likely, are simply as incompetent, mis-applied, and aimless as all the other institutions in America now.

• Pelosi says House will impeach Trump unless VP forces ouster
  

  Pelosi’s plan seeks a vote on Monday on a resolution calling on Pence and Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment. Under rules when the full House is not convened, any objection would reject the resolution. Pelosi would then put the resolution before the full House on Tuesday. If it were to pass, Pence and the Cabinet would have 24 hours to act before the House would move toward impeachment.

  My guess is that Trump counters this hard with some tasty leaks. The Left made themselves look just like the crazy Communists they are over the weekend, following the same playbook used in China, Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, Cambodia, and Russia. Now they are desperately scrambling to get Trump out before he can release more information that makes them look as incompetent as they are.

• Wildlife officials share video of overpass created just for animals over busy interstate
  

  In the video, bears, moose, deer, and many other wild animals are seen using the overpass at different times throughout the year.

  According to the Smithsonian Magazine, fencing that runs for three-and-a-half miles leads wildlife to the overpass.

  In a sane society, this would be a standard feature on any large road. You want your critter-friends to stay alive.

• London population set to decline for first time since 1988
  

  The forecast comes as city-dwellers rethink their living situations during lockdown and a boom in home working during the pandemic encourages growing numbers of people to consider moving elsewhere.

  If you can work from home, why not live far away from the diversity?

• New, extreme precautions urged for L.A. County residents because COVID is ‘everywhere’
  

  Latino: 1,696 coronavirus cases per 100,000 Latino residents
  Black: 752 coronavirus cases per 100,000 Black residents
  White: 636 coronavirus cases per 100,000 white residents
  Asian American: 519 coronavirus cases per 100,000 Asian American residents

  The Chinese virus is tired of diversity, too.

• China notifies Mekong River neighbours it is holding back waters
  

  The new Mekong Dam Monitor on its Facebook page on Tuesday said China had not notified neighbors when the Jinghong dam starting restricting waters on Dec. 31, “causing a sudden 1 metre drop in river level” downstream that could devastate the fish population.

  The water wars begin.

• Population growth halves as coronavirus cuts immigration
  

  The decline in growth is due both to more people dying in the first half of the year and a downturn in the number of new immigrants and international students coming to the Netherlands, the CBS said.

  Without immigration and globalism, we would have no environmental crisis, and no diversity social crisis either. Wait until they discover that as fewer immigrants come, more repatriate to be among those like them.

• Denmark launches children’s TV show about man with giant penis
  

  John Dillermand has an extraordinary penis. So extraordinary, in fact, that it can perform rescue operations, etch murals, hoist a flag and even steal ice-cream from children.

  Overlooking the outrage drama, this sounds like another moronic make-work project for people who cannot contribute anything of value.

• Russia blamed for SolarWinds hack in joint FBI, NSA and CISA statement
  

  “This work indicates that an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor, likely Russian in origin, is responsible for most or all of the recently discovered, ongoing cyber compromises of both government and non-governmental networks,” the statement said. “At this time, we believe this was, and continues to be, an intelligence gathering effort.”

  They are slowly revealing the scope of this hack, and we have not even seen a tenth of it. Everything got compromised. We know that these agencies are part of the Deep State, or at least their bureaucratic insiders are, because they are deflecting away from China and its collaborators in the USA. This was probably an effort by American hackers with knowledge of the system, probably employed by a three-letter agency, working to steal data and give it and control of many machines to China. That in turn meant that these signals could be captured and decoded by hostile parties, but somehow these three agencies did not manage to do it.

• World Bank president warns of “red alert” for debt
  

  Malpass, a former Treasury Department official under President Reagan and Bear Sterns economist who was nominated by President Trump, called the current levels of debt in many countries “unsustainable” and said a growing number were currently on “red alert” for defaults.

  This is “in part because the stimulus mechanisms that are out there are working toward concentrating the wealth rather than adding wealth from the bottom up,” Malpass told Axios during a Q&A session with reporters.

  In other words, the government pays out money to the proles, who then run off to their local mega-multi-national corporations to spend the money, enriching those people. This is proof of the circular Ponzi scheme behind consumerism, and shows us that the rise in the 0.01% by wealth has been the result of government action, not in spite of it. Sure, tax them — the money will get dumped on the poor, who will spend it on their products, so they will get three times as much in return.

• FTSE 100 chief executives ‘earn average salary within 3 days’
  

  By 17:30 GMT on Wednesday, the pay of FTSE 100 chiefs will have overtaken the £31,461 annual median wage for full time workers, the High Pay Centre says.

  The BBC — home of “Upstairs, Downstairs” — loves to rile up the proles with images of the super-wealthy. They never mention that these people work half of the year just to pay their income, property, registration, and sales taxes. The greedy proles steal everything, which creates a cynical and hardened class of wealthy people who take anything they can because they know that if they do not, it will be taken from them in turn.

• Hong Kong: Dozens of arrests look more like a purge than law enforcement
  

  Critics of the National Security Law (NSL) imposed by Beijing on Hong Kong have described its powers as sweeping – and today authorities swept wide.

  More than 50 pro-democracy figures have been arrested under the law.

  This law and the defense law perfect Communism. The state has control as a cost of doing business, and all companies must obey; if someone does anything to criticize the state, they are jailed and all their assets confiscated. The system runs on virtual cannibalism.

• Court says Uber can’t hold users to terms they probably didn’t read
  

  “As Uber is undoubtedly aware, most of those registering via mobile applications do not read the terms of use or terms of service included with the applications.”

  Slowly American law adapts to the new requirements of a digital age. No one reads these little contracts because you have no choice but to click them, and no time to read through forty pages of dense legal text each day. They could standardize, of course, but they will not because they want power.

• Change in the weather: German storm names to be more diverse
  

  Ahmet will be followed by low pressure systems with Arabic, Kurdish and Greek names such as Cemal, Goran, Hakim and Dimitrios. The high-pressure systems reaching Germany early this year will be called Bożena, Chana or Dragica, names with Polish, Hebrew and south Slavic roots.

  Soon every place will be like every other place. Finally equal. And a single world market!

• Thirteen Charged in Federal Court Following Riot at the U.S. Capitol
  

  “To be clear, what took place that day was not First Amendment-protected activity, but rather an affront on our democracy. The FBI, along with our local, state and federal partners, is committed to ensuring that justice is served. We will continue to aggressively investigate each and every individual who chose to ignore the law and instead incite violence, destroy property, and injure others.”

  Very few rioters over the summer were arrested and even fewer convicted. Yet suddenly government sees a need to enforce the law. We see the emerging double standard: Leftists benefit from government, Right-wingers must hide from it.

• Rasmussen: Trump’s Approval Rating Rises After DC Protests
  

  A source close to the polling firm tells Newsmax that the rolling survey saw Trump’s approval soar to 51% on Thursday night.

  Trump’s approval has been up overall, jumping from 45% just before Christmas.

  Trump proved his point. He said they were corrupt; they passed a giant pork bill. He said the media were in cahoots with them; certain stories never got out. He talked about the Deep State; the courts and bureaucracy refused to even consider that his case might have merit. He said that social media was working with China to control the narrative; they embarked on an orgy of deletions, bans, and censorship across the board. People are realizing that Trump won this election, that Biden/Xi can never be president, and that the USA has been compromised from within by trendy communists and their billionaire and Chinese masters.

• Vaccine scepticism among medics sparks alarm in Europe and US
  

  A poll released in mid-December caused surprise in Germany – the country that has been at the forefront of the race for a vaccine with biotech company BioNTech – by showing that half of surveyed nurses did not want to be vaccinated, along with a quarter of doctors.

  Those worries came back to the fore this week when the head of one German state said only a third of healthcare workers in his state were willing to get the jab.

  A high degree of reluctance among medical staff has also been observed in other parts of Europe and in the US. In France 76 per cent of senior care home staff said they did not want to get vaccinated, according to a poll of 2,000 such workers carried out last month.

  Medical workers see who is dying, and realize that for normally healthy people, this virus does not present much of a challenge. They also express strong skepticism of any new and unproven drugs, simply because of the high number of disasters in our past. Remember Thalidomide? Here is the long tail.

• Florida men accused of stealing remains of veterans from graveyard
  

  Detectives said the suspects told them they use the human remains in their religion, Palo Mayombe, and that they they chose the graves of veterans because their religion demands that the remains be from those that have “done something heroic.”

  “Freedom of religion” was a noble idea when we were all Anglos, which meant mostly protestants, a few Catholics, and some weird intellectual types who were deists, agnostics, Buddhists, Qabbalists, Masons, and so on. Add diversity of race and ethnicity, and soon you have a total disaster.

• Biden Chief of Staff Seems to Back $23 Minimum Wage
  

  Klain retweeted a tweet by California-based investor and onetime presidential aspirant Joe Sanberg that called $15 per hour a “step in the right direction” but argued that Americans are “entitled to $23 an hour” to keep in line with rising productivity since the 1960s.

  Socially speaking, he did the right thing. Free money will always be popular. In terms of governmental procedure, he did the right thing; we have to keep in line with rising productivity and costs. Politically, he did the right thing, making a name for himself. In reality, however, this is another giveaway. The proles will get their new wages, but three months later, will find that prices have gone up everywhere and they are in the same fix that they were at a much lower minimum wage. All of the money that got spent will trickle upward (this is the opposite of the conservative “trickle-down,” where money is concentrated so that it distributes). The rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer, mainly because you can never spend away poverty. All you can do is reduce costs, which also lowers the immense wealth of those at the top, and allows people to live a normal life without being enslaved and addicted to work.

• US judge blocks Trump administration’s sweeping asylum rules
  

  They sought to redefine how people qualify for asylum and similar forms of humanitarian protection if they face persecution at home. The restrictions would have broadened the grounds for a judge to deem asylum applications “frivolous” and prohibit applicants from ever winning protections in the U.S.

  U.S. District Judge James Donato in San Francisco sided with advocacy groups who sued, saying acting Homeland Security secretary Chad Wolf lacked authority to impose the sweeping rules.

  Leftists invent law in order to perpetrate their agenda on the rest of us. They want open borders. The GOP wants it too. They figure that ordinary people will get wiped out by this, no problem, but those “in the know” will make more money, and keep the power structure and its ideology intact, and that is all that matters. That this is basically genocide seems never to occur to them.

• Study Finds That 4-Month-Old Ravens Are as Intelligent as Adult Apes
  

  After gathering this data, the avian results were compared to those of gorillas and orangutans using the same measure. By 4 months old, the fledgling ravens were already cognitively comparable to adult primates—especially with respect to problem solving abilities. The ravens understood quantities, grasped causation, and showed social learning on par with the formerly studied apes. According to the researchers, this demonstrates social and physical intelligence and “general rather than domain specific intelligence.” The paper suggests that ravens—who achieve early independence from their nests—might require this intelligence for survival at such a young age.

  It turns out that there is more to nature that we were willing to consider.

• China compares U.S. Capitol riots with Hong Kong protests
  

  In response to the U.S. riots, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying compared the mobs on Capitol Hill with protests in Hong Kong in 2019, which saw large crowds storm and vandalize the legislative building in the Chinese city.

  In both cases, groups are rebelling against a compromised government which has altered its laws to suppress the desire for independence from China of its population. China has the same solution for both: say nasty things, and throw them in jail, then claim that they spread “disinformation” and need to go to re-education camps.

• Isle of Wight oil tanker ‘hijacking’ case dropped against seven men
  

  The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said initial reports had indicated there was a “real and imminent threat” to the vessel, but added mobile phone footage and witness accounts “could not show that the ship or crew were threatened” and there was no evidence the men had any intention to seize control of the vessel.

  In Clown World, we do not prosecute minorities, thus encouraging their misbehavior and increasingly radical actions against it.

  It happened here too: Man facing hate crime in fatal Wisconsin crash found incompetent:

  After two psychiatric exams, Fond du Lac County Judge Richard Nuss determined Wednesday that Navarro is not competent to stand trial, meaning he does not understand the court proceedings and cannot assist in his own defense, WLUK-TV reported.

  Was he insane? Who knows. The judge probably wanted to avoid the bad publicity and get on with his personal career as a success to his new Leftist overlords.

  It will likely happen here too: New York man charged with hate crimes in series of attacks against women :

  Sources told ABC New York station WABC that Covington was targeting light-skinned women.

  If that court wants to avoid drama, they will likely convict him of something lesser or find him incompetent by reason of insanity.

• Dollar falls as yuan fix lifts risk currencies, Georgia elections in focus
  

  After initially opening lower on Tuesday, U.S. stocks rebounded to further dent the dollar’s attractiveness, with the outlook of the Georgia runoffs drawing outsized attention.

  A Democratic victory in both races could take control of the Senate away from Republicans, paving the way for further stimulus measures as well as higher corporate taxes and more regulation.

  Elections have consequences. If the fix is in and Left wins, the US is heading away from prosperity toward Carter- and Obama-era malaise. At that point, you invest elsewhere. The USA has taken itself out of superpower status with these stolen elections.

• Christian nationalism’s Covid vaccine doubt threatens America’s herd immunity
  

  In fact, we find in a new study that Americans who strongly embrace Christian nationalism — close to a quarter of the population — are much more likely to question the safety of vaccines and to be misinformed about them (e.g., believing that vaccines cause autism or don’t work or that those who administer them are dishonest). If enough of these Americans resist a Covid-19 vaccine based on suspicions rooted in misinformation, the results would be disastrous for achieving herd immunity and reducing the spread of the virus.

  A hit piece on Christian nationalism serves to encourage conservatives to reduce their goal from “conserve the best of Western Civilization of all time” to “Christian nationalist,” which will quickly translate into patriotic libertarian voluntaryist who obediently pays his taxes while shaking his fists at the FoxOANN screen every night.

• Nashville bomber’s bizarre writings reveal belief in aliens and lizard people
  

  “The knowledge I have gained is immeasurable. I now understand everything, and I mean everything from who/what we really are, to what the known universe really is.”

  On another page Warner wrote about 9-11 conspiracy theories, ending with the statement “The moon landing and 9-11 have so many anomalies they are hard to count.”

  Warner later wrote that “September 2011 was supposed to be the end game for the planet,” because that is when he believed that aliens and UFO’s began launching attacks on earth.

  But Warner’s writings grow even more bizarre when he wrote about reptilians and lizard people that he believed control the earth and had tweaked human DNA.

  “They put a switch into the human brain so they could walk among us and appear human,” Warner wrote.

  Warner did write extensively about “perception,” adding that “Everything is an illusion” and “there is no such thing as death.”

  And yet, the letters are never published. Like Stephen Paddock, who shot up a Las Vegas concert and killed fifty people, this is terrorism of despair. People for whom life has lost its lustre, namely because they are living in a dying civilization, decide to go out with a bang, and their philosophies are incoherent because they do not really care about them. They simply want to believe, for once in their life, in something, and to sacrifice for it.

• Obscure neo-Nazi Satanist group Order of Nine Angles becomes latest domestic terror threat
  

  The report warns that O9A could be ‘exacerbating’ conflicts among racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs), increasing the likelihood of violence by those groups.

  The Establishment fears the Order of Nine Angles (O9A) because this group endorses the practice of “culling,” or removal of the incompetent and insane from among us. Eugenics, morality, and natural selection converge on the idea of “what you tolerate, you get more of,” so you cannot tolerate insanity and incompetence unless you want to become insane and incompetent.

  Order of Nine Angles: What is this obscure Nazi Satanist group?:

  There is a total rejection of ethics and some key texts even discuss ritual sacrifice, both symbolic and actual.

  They mean a rejection of humanism, or the idea that every human being is important.

  Order of Nine Angles origins:

  The Order postulates Satanism as being a highly individualized quest that aims to create self-excellence and wisdom, by undertaking challenges that allow a person to transcend his physical and mental limits. It is meant to involve the arduous achievement of self-mastery and Nietzschean self-overcoming, with an emphasis on individual growth through practical acts of risk, prowess and endurance.

  Order of Nine Angles metaphysics:

  According to the Order’s own account, it was established in the Welsh Marches of Western England during the late 1960s by a woman who had previously been involved in a secretive pre-Christian tradition surviving in the region.

  Order of the Nine Angles (O.N.A) morality:

  The Order of Nine Angles holds that the world of normalcy which we inhabit is the causal world. Herein the laws of cause and effect, of time, space and gravity all apply. The causal world is a place where the laws of physics are absolute, and where science is sufficient to explain and understand all things. Yet the ONA also posits the existence of the acausal, a term referring to the supernatural realm where the laws of physics are meaningless, and where time and space are perceived or exist in ways that most humans cannot possibly understand.

  From the Order of Nine Angles themselves:

  The traditional definition as magick use for personal/destructive/negative purposes is meaningless because it assumes a framework of moral opposites, which does not, in reality, exist in relation to magickal energies. All evolution of consciousness is a magickal act – an expansion of the acausal into realm of the causal. From the ‘traditional’, moral/ Nazarene point of view all such evolution, of necessity, becomes evil. It is unfortunate that, for a long time, this simple fact has been obscured by silly systems like Qabala with its notions of a Dark Side of the Tree. No dark side exists, because what actually exists is dark of itself because it presences non-Being.

  Government wants to get involved with infiltrating the Order of Nine Angles:

  Undercover agents from the security service’s Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU) have been ordered to infiltrate the far-Right Order of Nine Angles (ONA) movement.

  Hello fellow Satanists! They want to give the O9A the same treatment that the Hollywood Nazis got: infiltrate them with crazies until they turn crazy and collapse. It crushed the American White Nationalist movement, so now this is an approved technique with certified budget estimates.

• Richest 1% have almost a quarter of UK wealth, study claims
  

  The study found that the top 1% had almost £800bn more wealth than suggested by official statistics, meaning that inequality has been far higher than previously thought. Researchers said the extra billions was a conservative estimate and could well be more.

  The more we tax, the more we give to the poor, who spend it. Then the rich get richer. At what point does someone wake up and figure out that all this floral-scented nonsense is not working at all? Just run some pictures of starving children and the voters will panic and cuck.

• Even Homer Gets Mobbed
  

  Their ethos holds that children shouldn’t have to read stories written in anything other than the present-day vernacular—especially those “in which racism, sexism, ableism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of hate are the norm,” as young-adult novelist Padma Venkatraman writes in School Library Journal. No author is valuable enough to spare, Ms. Venkatraman instructs: “Absolving Shakespeare of responsibility by mentioning that he lived at a time when hate-ridden sentiments prevailed, risks sending a subliminal message that academic excellence outweighs hateful rhetoric.”

  “Hahaha,” replied Heather Levine, an English teacher at Lawrence (Mass.) High School. “Very proud to say we got the Odyssey removed from the curriculum this year!” When I contacted Ms. Levine to confirm this, she replied that she found the inquiry “invasive.” The English Department chairman of Lawrence Public Schools, Richard Gorham, didn’t respond to emails.

  We must make life safe for everyone, which means eliminating anything real that might make people realize that they are not actually special snowflakes, but mediocre human beings who have a caste rank whether they admit it or not. Clown World is built on class warfare, like all civilization collapse, and it has driven everyone insane, as we see from stories like this. No one can think anymore; their brains have been replaced by the purity and power of abstract symbol, which despite being unrelated to reality seems to the mediocre mind to make everything make sense, so like heroin, they seek it every time even to their (and our) downfall.

• The year of Karen: how a meme changed the way Americans talked about racism
  

  “We as a culture have adopted this stance that white women are more virtuous and not complicit in upholding racism in particular,” said Apryl Williams, a professor of communication and media at the University of Michigan. “They just sort of go along with it, but they’re not conscious actors. The Karen meme says, no, they are conscious actors. These are deliberate actions. They are complicit. And I think that’s why it strikes a nerve with people.”

  Let us scapegoat the Whites, as we once scapegoated Jews and the Rich, and then we can stop feeling bad about our own failings and celebrate our victory over those more naturally successful than we are. The problems of Black America, most of which are the result of being in the wrong civilization a.k.a. “diversity,” remain untouched.

• A Scary Amount of Nutrition Science Has Deep Ties to The Food Industry, Study Reveals
  

  “This study found that the food industry is commonly involved in published research from leading nutrition journals,” researchers write.

  “Where the food industry is involved, research findings are nearly six times more likely to be favourable to their interests than when there is no food industry involvement.”

  What is not corrupt in Clown World? Everyone needs to earn a living to pay those taxes, and thanks to diversity, we have nothing in common with others, so there is no point having any kind of real-world ethics. Just social status signal when appropriate, and then go about taking bribes to make others wealthy on the backs of the perpetually clueless, pretentious, arrogant, ignorant, and vengeful votards.

• More than 1.5 billion masks believed to have entered oceans in 2020
  

  “The fact that we are starting to find masks that are breaking up indicates that this is a real problem, that microplastics are being produced by masks,” he said.

  Of the estimated 52 billion masks manufactured globally in 2020, it’s believed 1.56 billion will enter our oceans this year, resulting in an additional 4,680 to 6,240 metric tonnes of marine plastic pollution.

  Humanity needs to focus on quality control. We have plenty of humans, but most of them appear to have low-grade personality disorders, and few of them are anything close to “intelligent.” A worldwide purge to remove anyone under 115 IQ points, tests to identify and euthanize sociopaths, the insane, retards, perverts, and repeat criminals, could go a long way toward making us a responsible and useful species. It would also cut our population to about a half-billion and completely eliminate our “climate change” and pollution problems.

• The Bill Is Coming Due for China’s ‘Capitalist’ Experiment
  

  Realizing this, the CCP has begun to assert control over the private sector by “installing . . . Party officials inside private firms” and having state-backed firms invest in private enterprises. In the absence of civil rights or an independent judiciary, “private” companies have no real independence from the government in China. Dissent and demands for civil rights are a threat to the regime and will be crushed.

  The National Review is not a conservative publication, but a Buckleyite Christian Libertarian (BCL, pronounced “buckle”) one. It opposes the Keynesian market socialists (KMS) of the Democrats, when they cannot find common ground like Jesus/Israel, open borders, strong defense, and support for big business. As a result, its solution is moronic: civil rights. A sane solution would be to get rid of market socialism, and to have strong leadership to guide industry instead of parasitic government.

• A Brexit trade deal at last: EU and UK clinch narrow accord
  

  “We have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters.”

  As said here before, this was always about fishing rights. The UK got taken for a fifty-year ride by mainland Europe, which wanted those fish to feed its sprawling population.

• £5 trillion: how much the Covid-19 pandemic cost the global economy in 2020
  

  The forecast fall in global GDP – down 5.2% from $89.94 trillion to $83.19 trillion – is equivalent to the annual economic output of Germany and France combined.

  It turns out that trusting China is a big mistake. China has begun to quarantine people again after images of Chinese people partying on New Years without masks outraged the West, but this is all theater. They are doing fine and faking the numbers again in order to keep us panicking so that we sacrifice our economic systems so that China can be #1 worldwide. Smart, these democracy people. So clever.

• Televangelist Pat Robertson tells Donald Trump ‘it’s time to move on’
  

  Robertson’s comments come after he previously predicted Trump would win the 2020 presidential election hands down – and then an asteroid would hit earth.

  In my view, there is one true religion and no one has ever practiced it. It has never been written down and has no name. All of us know it, somewhere in our intuitive selves, and it is the thought that nature as a whole is a living organism, and it has parts elsewhere that create what we see here, a type of primal waters into which we descend after death. We worship silently, subconsciously, not even knowing that we are doing it, in moments when we see a tree sway in the cool twilight breeze and for a moment, all time and space stop and we dwell in beauty, trust, and love for nature, including its dark and Satanic paths of predation, disease, and misery. Everything makes sense. This is transcendence, and it is the only time that we get a glimpse of the one true religion. Organized religions on the other hand embrace fatalism by giving up the world and waiting for Heaven after death, which causes them to accept decay and rationalize it as good. In addition, their dualistic world by being focused on what is “wrong” here never gains the structure necessary to be good. Every religion that we have now is man-made, an attempt to transcribe that unseen original faith, and every one of them falls short, which when people attempt to take these religions literally drives them insane. Note: this also extends to materialism, which is simply dualism of another kind, worshiping the world without transcendence as a type of mediocre heaven.

• Lessons in the Decline of Democracy From the Ruined Roman Republic
  

  These trends first came to a head in 134 B.C. when Tiberius Gracchus, an elected tribune of the people, proposed a land reform bill that would benefit poorer and middle-class Romans.

  This sounds like how we invoked the Great Recession.

• Fairfax County judge won’t try Black man in courtroom lined with portraits of white judges
  

  He said he was concerned that the portraits “may serve as unintended but implicit symbols that suggest the courtroom may be a place historically administered by whites for whites.”

  How dare we assert reality. Each ethnic group needs its own nation with its own laws, judges, lawyers, politicians, police, businesspeople, standards, and aesthetics. This is ethnic self-determination, and it is the way of the future now that globalism has collapsed.

• Google told its scientists to ‘strike a positive tone’ in AI research
  

  “If we are researching the appropriate thing given our expertise, and we are not permitted to publish that on grounds that are not in line with high-quality peer review, then we’re getting into a serious problem of censorship,” Mitchell said.

  Everything is fake. If they cannot bribe it, they censor it. This prevents us from realizing how primitive our technology really is.

• Statistical Estimation of the Occurrence of Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the Milky Way Galaxy
  

  We examine three major parameters: 1) the likelihood rate of abiogenesis (λA); 2) evolutionary timescales (Tevo); and 3) probability of self-annihilation of complex life (Pann). We found Pannto be the most influential parameter determining the quantity and age of galactic intelligent life.

  Most societies die young, consumed of the Civilization Disease, something we write about a lot on this site. They never see it coming. If nature drops a thousand seeds to make one tree, what are our chances for survival? One in a thousand, if we think we are from the only seed drop. If there are more frequent seed drops (metaphorically) then it may be one in a billion. If we want our species to survive, we have to think solidly and work hard to avoid the Civilization Disease and the abyss into which most of our fellow citizens would gladly drag us, thinking they were “saving” us.
