Pretty cool that the US has constructed a Blue Zone in its own capital. Although the 25,000 National Guardsmen are apparently unarmed, which suggests that the Dems don’t actually take MAGA terrorists seriously. But it’s good theater.
Or, I suppose it could be that THE PLAN is coming to fruition. Any hour now.

The point is to make the last days of Trump look menacing, create an impression that it was just horrible under Trump: scary, dark, dangerous, shut-down, uncertainty, discord and lurking menace. It is quite a theatre…
Next phase is to create a sunny, optimistic, colourful (in every way) rebirth – all will be fine, the Orange man and his minions will be barred, ‘rona will disappear, bad men around the world will be talked to, Walmart shelves will refill, borders will open.
It won’t work. Restorations seldom work, especially when run by elderly morons on a short leash from impatient oligarchs. Corona is not as much a disease, it is a suggested cure for us to shape up, stop overeating, stop the fatty lifestyles, increase one’s immunity. It will keep on coming, biology has its own ways how to restore balance in nature.
How many days until the Indian/Jamaican putsch?
Unarmed? Two explanations:
1) Afraid that an armed guardsman would target practice his/her newly minted overlords.
or
2) Proof that the operation’s purported purpose is a work of fiction.

The coverage from CNN is something to behold, you are spot on in your description of how they are portraying this, just listen to the emotionally-loaded language used here
https://thumbsnap.com/i/9rZ1vZZu.mp4
There’s more. One thing made clear after 9/11 that would not be news to anyone who studied the Beirut Marine barracks bombing is that sentries posted to guard bases and the like are almost always without ammo, or only have a magazine in their pocket. That’s because the commanders of bases are terrified of one of them having a negligent discharge, which would result in an imperfect Officer Efficiency Report and their career being over based on the up or out policy of the military. The same end of career would happen if the base was legitimately attacked, so the choice is clear. Needless to say, this general policy continued after 9/11.
See also how National Guardsmen are almost never issued ammo when they’re “sent to the border” or to riots, at most they do paperwork, logistics and the like to free up more civilian law enforcement officers. Here they’re just theater, mere props for our ruling trash who hate them anyway.
The PRC/CCP is going to cut off the supply of the rare earth Copium to the US any day now….
they took their magazines because the new regime does not trust the national guard guys. not because they don’t take the Trump voters seriously. they take the Trump voters extremely seriously – they are planning to neutralize us permanently.
‘walls don’t work’ but the first thing they did was put up a wall. that wall might be up for a while actually. it might not automatically come down after tomorrow.
‘the most popular president of all time’ to be inaugurated in secret behind 20,000 troops with no attendance or crowds. more like they saw the size of the Biden crowds during the campaign and wanted to avoid the embarrassment of 12 people showing up.
Biden and Harris are unpopular, even with democrats. in my city that’s about 50-50 for voters, there is almost no Biden-Harris stuff anywhere. signs, stickers, almost nothing. i reckon Joe Biden is actually about 10% as popular with democrats as Obama was, maybe 20% as popular as Hillary. i’ve seen elections since the 70s and know how to get a general sense of things.
the circumstantial evidence is everywhere. he didn’t get 80 million votes and he didn’t win the election. there’s never been a more obvious con job.
when my dad came back from Vietnam, he went into the National Guard, and was deployed in the 1968 riots. on the second day of those, they came around and took all their magazines too. they didn’t trust them, and they didn’t want them shooting looters or shooting back at rioters who were attacking them.
then they were just standing around watching democrats loot stores and trying to not get hit with rocks that the rioters were throwing at them.
democrats were in full control of the government then too. the white house, senate, and house.
The USA’s credibility is totally damaged because of this. Many third world countries don’t even require this much security.
Speaking of Trump presidency, I wonder how Fuentes, Ali, Cernovich, Posobiec, etc. will make their living now that the grift of “trust the plan” is over.
The longer the security apparatus is deployed, the less popular it becomes.
Otoh, if there is an attack tomorrow, this site may well be banned, and its proprietor arrested on terrorism charges.
I realise that there is negative tension between me and Karlin because I forgot to wish him a happy Hanukkah, and he in return did not give greetings to me for Christmas – but I have no option other than to make the following point because I don’t expect the “nationalist” of Russia , Karlin, to want to do so:
8 of 26 I count in the Biden cabinet are Jews.
EIGHT!!
Actually Kerry also has Jewish heritage so that is 9 out of 26
NINE JEWS!!!
From a foreign perspective I have heard them promoting this as the “most diverse government in American history”, so that’s 5 negros, 4 Hispanics, 1 faggot, 4 or 5 women across all demographics and 3 Asian. But making whites an extreme minority and inflating Jews is not something to claim as representative of “modern America”
Seriously, how can you do all this fake “diversity” and “equality” BS….. but have Jews at record representation in the US when many of these Jewish liberals are promoting all this diversity BS ( I say all this as a non anti-semite)?!!
Shameful. If they promote it as because of merit of these Jews it would have more credibility than this fake “representation of America” BS.
NINE JEWS??! Only Israel and Ukraine are more Jewish than this new US government
Half female Cabinets are powerful symbolism to easily offended moderate white women. The Democrats, and most left wing parties, need them in their camp to win.
Once again – have you all already forgotten ongoing epidemic since last year? Even if you still think about it being “fakeDemhoax,” is that strange to you that Dems themselves imagine or, if you want, pretend to imagine that virus is real/dangerous – so accordingly no campaining/events with mass crowds allowed and social distancing is needed? If they did not act this way, you would have been the first to cry about blue duplicity 😉
Oh, there were Democrats at rallies alright.
https://twitter.com/Johnheretohelp/status/1275081717066330116
You don’t seem to understand America very well, everything there is partisan these days. So, MAGA rallies and the capitol storming are super spreader events, while BLM burnin’ and lootin’ are unlikely to result in increased Covid cases. If there had been a Democratic president, everything would have been reversed. The lack of crowds at inauguration are because of security concerns, iirc, it’s even been officially announced as such.
No doubt there has been more than enough hypocrisy about BLM protests/riots, but that still wasn’t officially some part of Biden campaign – it is not just some freak coincidence that old Joe stayed healthy untill vaccination started while Trump or Giulliani had to be hospitalised.
A fitting start for the most popular US president ever, isn’t it?
Big if true!
Large if factual.
Someone brought up the issue of chain of command.
It’s interesting that apparently POTUS has command and control over the National Guard in a Title 10 emergency (which is likely used right now), because the only alternative would be the governors having command and control, and of course DC has no governor, while governors of states have no power to send their National Guardsmen to DC (or anywhere outside their states).
One possibility is the Secretary of Defense moving them around, but it’s supposed to be at least rubber stamped by Trump, and the Secretary of Defense was just appointed by Trump in December, according to CNN to start a coup. So the military presence to thwart a Trumpist coup is either ordered by Trump or… it’s an anti-Trump coup.
Interesting. Also it’s strange that no one is asking any of these questions. I guess it’d be totally different if it was Trump’s inauguration, in which case the image of the soldiers would make CNN think of a dictatorship.
Semi-OT: from Trump’s pardon list, one name that caught my eye was Paul Erickson (you may remember him as the beau of Maria Butina). The exact text from the White House press release:
Only nine? Is Biden some sort of anti-Semite?

METHODOLOGY
This paper is based on a public opinion poll in eleven EU countries carried out for ECFR by Datapraxis and YouGov in late November and early December 2020.
This was an online survey conducted in Denmark (n = 1,037), France (n = 2,013), Germany (n = 2,060), Hungary (n=1,001), Italy (n=2,017), Netherlands (n = 1,005), Poland (n = 1,002), Portugal (n=1,004), Spain (n=1,017), Sweden (n = 1,010), and the GB (n=2,031). The results are politically and nationally representative samples.
The general margin of error is ±3% for 1,000 sample, and ±2% for 2,000. YouGov used purposive active sampling for this poll.
The exact dates of polling were: Denmark (20-25 November), France (25-26 November), Germany (25-27 November), Hungary (24 November – 2 December), Italy (24 November – 3 December), Netherlands (24 November – 2 December), Poland (24 November – 7 December), Portugal (24 November – 7 December), Spain (20-25 November), Sweden (24-27 November), and the GB (24-25 November).
Less than one, if you believe the wild rumours flying around. But why would you? You’re not a conspiracy theorist, are you?
Adding to the other gentleman’s remarks, (1) it’s more than hypocrisy: the Democratic base attended mass rallies for BLM for months, so the idea that they wouldn’t have done so for the most popular presidential candidate ever is refuted, (2) the idea that Biden himself would forego rallies when his base was willing beggars belief: even if you accept he’s worried about the virus, it was perfectly possible to hold mass rallies while keeping him away from the hoi polloi; there’s a reason politicians hold rallies, simply, it gets them more votes, so it’s ridiculous to think a presidential candidate would voluntarily turn them down for any reason, and (3) if we grant that Biden was popular in spite of not holding rallies, it follows that there should’ve been tangible and voluminous evidence elsewhere of his popularity – but there wasn’t. This is most visible online: Biden’s Youtube videos, for instance, are less popular than Trump’s, even with Google’s thumb on the scales, and Indian bot farms boosting his numbers. (Presumably.)
Two possible reasons for this:
1) They really thought there was a security threat from Trump supporters, and called in the National Guard before realizing that there are lots of Trump supporters in the Guard.
2) It’s security theater to excuse the paltry crowds that would have showed up for Biden’s inauguration without it (despite Biden getting more votes than any candidate in American history).
What’s up with Eastern Europe? Love for Trump, or is cargo cult mentality so strong, they cannot possibly comprehend that something might be wrong with USA?
Biden’s pick for the assistant Secretary of Health is Rachel Levine, a male-to-female transgender. “She” is also Jewish. Strange times.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Dr._Levine_State_Portrait.jpg/220px-Dr._Levine_State_Portrait.jpg
Biden HHS pick Rachel Levine would make history as first openly transgender Senate-confirmed federal official
Scores of that kind mirror the impression I’ve been getting from real world conversations at least. I thought it was pretty strange. Not surprised the results from Britain are the opposite either.
Looks like 25000 National Guard soldiers were not enough:
https://twitter.com/ant159694954/status/1351497364129898496
This Twitter account mentions 65000 soldiers deployed nationwide and 2000 sworn in as US Marshals.
If true, then it is a number that cannot reasonably be explained by a “domestic terrorism” threat. Although hat could be just some “fake news”.
Don’t worry, I’ve been in contact with Q.
They’ve used cutting edge brain surgery developed under the guise of Operation Warp Speed and the Space Force program to swap the brains of Trump and Biden. What you’re really seeing is the second inauguration of Trump even though it might not look like it. They can’t brief the National Guard yet because there are still Epstein plants in the chain of command.
Mike Pence turned out to be too chad to make a convincing woman so they had to swap in Rudy Giuliani’s brain with Kamala Harris’. Biden will be impeached – remember that when you see Trump going to jail it’s actually Biden’s brain in Trump’s body. The ruse will work perfectly because of Biden’s dementia: he already needs to look in the mirror every morning to remember who he is.
Hillary Clinton is going to get arrested very soon. All is well. Trust the plan.
Yuck!
Never forget those who fooled you readers of the netzines telling you Trump was going to stage a coup d’etat and arrest all the thieves, cheats, pedos, etc., etc. Just you wait and see, he was flying special forces from all over, have faith, trust the plan, he’s still got the time, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds – counting down. Will they now eat their words or try to sell us something else?
Why does that CNN guy have a stylized Russian flag as background? Maybe Biden and media enablers is the true ROG.
Pax America
26.12.1991 – 3.11.2020
Pax Sinica
21.1.2021 – ???
There should be a transition period between the two. A 5 to 10 years of instability maybe?
I didn’t know the other people you mentioned were or at least still are Q. But Vox is still pushing the Q narrative hard, and aggressively bans from the comments any Q skeptics. I’m looking forward to see that particular grifter eat crow.
Or he’s right and Biden gets arrested today. I’m happy either way.
According to Pardee Center for International Futures whose work is used by the US National Intelligence Council the power transition period between the US and China will be between 2024 and 2032.
https://imgur.com/a/jMCIppp#zoScTTa
That would explain the WEF Great Reset agenda between 2020 and 2030. Globalist attempt at keeping control during troubled times.
Exactly correct.
No doubt about it…the take over of this country, by the Deep State is long in the planning.
Yes, there is always the a transistion period.
But certain moments/decisions/events and acts are the crossroad moments.
But in this case Pax America is only the last chapter of Pax Europa, which started with Columbus in 1492 and became clear with the defeat of the Turks in 1683.
Pax Sinica is actually only a part of Pax Cofucius, which started when the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown and the Meiji Restauration brought the first non-European nation to near-peer level just 25 years later. The victory of the Communist in 1949 in China restored central government’s order in all part of China and with the center of Confucian sphere. The Fall of Saigon in 1975 marked the absolute end of European military might towards near-peers and rid the Confucian sphere of any foreign power presence.
(Yes the Japanese & Korean are still formal allies of the West and have US military presence, but it’s superficcially. The Chinese can anytime make a highly symbolic, but pragmatic move toward the Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese.)
Anyway life will just start to get even much shittier for the working-class whites and law-abiding portion of the black underclass/working-class. Of course Europoors will be now under transgender managment.
The constant high level of legal migration of qualified will soon chip away liberal support in the white middle-class, which still act as grout the Coalition of Fringes.
This might bring a lite-Trump into office in 2028/32, but he/she will just be a modern-day Marcus Aurielius.
If well-managed the USA becomes multi-party system of middling, but big nation after that, if badly managed it will lead the 3rd Civil War (1st was hot, second was cold) and subsequent breakup. This will make Pax Confucius even more crushing.
And a handsome dog it is.
At least everyone knows where the troops are…in guerrilla warfare always know where the enemy is…never let the enemy know where you are.
I would rather see Biden just get inaugurated. The problem with the Trump presidency was not that it did not get a second term, but that it was lame on its own. Grifters thrived under Trump like never before, and Trump walked back nearly every promise he had made in 2016.
I get the Biden skepticism, but Trump’s presidency was a gigantic disaster that has utterly wrecked the right for years to come.
I mainly agree. My question would be how and if Russia would fit into this duopoly of East-Asian and Western-Atlanticist civilizations. I don’t see Russia completely joining any of these projects.
It would be easier to just fracture it in two or more pieces and integrate these pieces according to geographic settings and economic synergies, than allowing for its independent evolution between these two poles. OTOH it might also become a neutral transit zone between Euro-Atlanticism and Sino- Confucianism.
That would probably be the best outcome for Russians. But it is far from being guaranteed.
An Iron Curtain has descended upon the United States, from Kalifornia, to the New York island, from the Redwood Forrest to the Gulf Stream waters. A land , no longer made for you and me.
I prefer the term “Black Curtain” or perhaps “Gay Curtain.”
12 minutes to corporate facist technocratic transhumanism rule.
Everyone saying America is becoming communist has no idea how lucky the Russians in 1917 were compared to whats coming down our pipeline.
One party rule.
Hackers are the new revolutionaries. The power of the technocrats is also their weakness.
Remember the the man behind the curtain.
The days of Oz are limited.
Over and out.
Maybe, the idea is to scare people into good health?
Congratulations, US citizens. Many congratulations are in order, in fact.
First, we have an Alzheimer-in-chief. Yes, we had a president with Alzheimer before (Reagan), but never one who had Alzheimer on the day of inauguration.
Second, inauguration happened under the barrel of the gun, as befits banana republics. The puppet-masters of corrupt senile half-corpse are too scared of cheated American people to let them anywhere near their precious puppet.
Third, outgoing Trump pardoned many convicted criminals (73 by the last count), but did not pardon Assange or Snowden.
One can continue in this vein for a long time, but what’s the point? “Democracy” showed its true colors for all to see.
Nice photo, tbh.
What about Trans Curtain? The great Trans – Cis divide …
Thinking about it a bit more, I like “Rainbow Curtain” the most. I think it hits the right balance between concrete and abstract, while also covering all the bases by referencing bioleninism.
And it would be good for memes.
It will not be a duopoly, it will be a multipolar world. For example India too will overtake the US economy, Indonesia will be world’s number 4 economy, Africa will reach 4 billion people, while 1 in 3 persons on the planet will be muslim.
Many countries will acquire nuclear weapons.
The world will divide into civilisational regions with their own rules and everything. Media, IT sphere, nuclear weapons, economic autarkies, etc.
Russia will be its own pole in a multipolar world.
Even if Kamala can be prevailed upon to follow the traditional Indian rules regarding succession and commit sati to prevent a matriarchy, that would still leave that witch Pelosi in power.
A lot of strange interpretations here, I will just point out one of the major flaws.
Mao and his followers absolutely loathed Confucius; here are just some of the more vitriolic attacks:
http://www.chinaheritagequarterly.org/scholarship.php?searchterm=020_confucius.inc&issue=020
https://www.marxists.org/subject/china/peking-review/1974/PR1974-06f.htm
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticize_Lin,_Criticize_Confucius
They’re sending a message: “We’re in charge and you’re not.” A failing regime is trying to discourage dissent with a show of force.
It’s interesting that British people apparently have a less favourable view of the US than most of the rest of Europe, not what I would have expected.
Also, there is this viral image going around
https://i.ibb.co/MnGhPP9/Biden-s-Cabinet.jpg
There do not seem to be any sources confirming that Victoria Nuland is Jewish, however she is married to the ultra-rabid Jewish Neoconservative Robert Kagan.
David S. Cohen is the Assistant Director of the CIA, not the director proper.
Overall, those are some very influential positions indeed.
All a melodramatic freakshow of course.
Good thing though is that he should be too vulnerable on the Hunter Biden issue to be able to help the disaster Banderastan experiment. It’s an extreme display of disrespect to Banderastan that of all the other 200+ States in the planet he selected his uniquely unqualified drug-loser son to that position for such obvious corruption.
You would think that he can’t visit there (keeping tradition of most recent US presidents) and all money from US to Ukraine outside of moronic “civil society” things has the potential to easily be connected to something dirty
This has been well-known forever, check her father’s wikipedia page.
What percent is that of all positions and how does it compare to previous cabinets?
Rona will not disappear completely. Just like the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, or the Authorization for Use of Military Force 2001, or the FARA, etc, anti-epidemic measures will be converted into a law that will be enforced in a discretionary manner. It will do wonders to commit to a “quarantine facility” any Outer Party members who get any ideas. Since the psychiatric admission got devolved to the states and essentially cancelled in the seventies, US has been missing on a great mind control weapon.
I prefer the ad-hoc manner Romania operates: “we don’t like your thoughts, we’re closing your media outlet”, or we found this tax irregularity, or we found you derived unlawful personal advantages from introducing Tony Blair to a conference. In the long run, it is less murderous. Western governments, who cover everything with paperwork, risk getting confused in so many layers of legalistic obfuscation, that often they have to do a Todashev or a Ruby Ridge.
no shit. Biden LITERALLY hid in his basement the entire year. the ‘most popular president in history’ did not even attempt to campaign at all. that’s never happened in the history of America. even the other Democrats running in 2020 campaigned in the real world SOME.
Biden can’t even get 1000 viewers for a live stream. ham sandwich can get a 1000 viewers, but not this guy. it’s hard to put into context how EXTREMELY LOW his ONLINE viewership was – where there is zero danger of the virus. in reality he’s actually THE LEAST popular president of all time. NOBODY cares to hear what this guy says.
Kamala Harris is even less popular than him, if that’s possible. she finished dead last in most of the primaries and dropped out quickly. she has no constituency at all and is widely actively disliked by Democrat voters.
the troop situation in DC is because jewish bolsheviks have taken over America and this is the transition period, where they consolidate power, purge the military of possible opponents, and begin the process of persecuting the defeated population. it has nothing to do with a virus. leftist political demonstrations were common and widespread all thru 2020, even ones that weren’t riots.
What makes you think Trump was on the right or conservative? It looks to me like like Trump exposed the grift and hypocrisy of our parties, the Deep State, Big Tech, and the MSM. But I repeat myself.
This is exactly what I expected when Trump was elected in ’16. His value is not as a politician, but as a bull in a china shop. I never expected otherwise and I doubt I’m alone in that opinion.
If the other side are able to rig an election and get away with it, it means that they’re more powerful than you are. Power at the end of the day is what controls nations.
I am writing it on WAPO Facebook page and thousands of angry retards want to kill me
Cernovich & Fuentes don’t “trust the plan”.
Not at all: the media has declared the Hunter Biden story a non-issue and any attempts to dig it up will be – in the new standard of discourse – an attempt at “insurrection” to “incite violence”. Joe Biden is in a position now where he can take a million dollar check from Ukraine himself, and no one will cover it or be shouted down if they do.
The FBI has dirt of course but it seems obvious that either (a) they are going to quietly close it and/or (b) it will be used by the so-called deep state as another means of control over Biden. (Recall that the Dem senate leader openly warned Trump not to mess with the intelligence agencies because they have “six ways from Sunday” of getting back at him. It’s also remarkable that an open FBI investigation into Hunter was successfully kept under wraps in a notoriously leak-prone town like DC till after the election.)
The Biden admin will accelerate the multi-prong economic/financial/armament/legal/information war vs Russia, with Ukraine playing a huge part in this push.

Those account holders could be retards, or (more likely) non-human bots programmed to respond to anything “politically incorrect”. Having a server act like thousands of bots is cheaper than paying all that scum even low wages.
The Cultural Revolution was nothing more than older Mao’s ego-trip back to power by using China’s baby-boomers.
Don’t give too much into it.
Yes, I thought about that as well – Biden in the end of the day is the legitimate president because he is the representative/figurehead of those who actually have power in the United States, and the plebs never had any real power anyway.
From Mao, “On New Democracy”, way back in January 1940:
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_26.htm
Good riddance to the orange fatso.
Bill Maher, a jewish liberal, in the end talked more about Ashli Babbit and with more compassion than the vast majority of “conservatives”, republicans and other useless idiots.
And Donald Trump, the most useless idiot of all, for whom this innocent woman died. As far as I know he still hasn’t mentioned her in any of his speeches. Anybody still supporting him after the betrayal of the Capitol protesters is a hopeless retard.
I wonder if his biggest achievement – not starting another war – wasn’t simply a consequence of his laziness, cowardice and incompetence and maybe luck. After all, it’s not like he didn’t do reckless things like killing Soleimani.
But the shitshow goes on. The only man who can save America at this point is probably Tucker Carlson, but I doubt that he will be allowed or that even it will be technically possible for him to be elected in 2024 after all the millions of illegals get amnestied, assuming the vote is not completely rigged like last time and votes matter again.
Russia has quiet a lot of options, but it will depend on a competent leader and a consensus in the upper-class and of course dealing with the structural deficits at hand.
There might even be de-facto territorial gains on the Western border, you know Russian peacekeepers to protect the peace between the Emirate of Berlin and the Polish Republic.
European creativity/individualism vs Confucian collectivism. The Pay-Per-View event of 22nd century.
This would be the best overall outcome for Melanin-challenged people and force the Confucian elites to maintain the edge. But this require the Russian elites to bring Russia nearly to the high-trust level/efficiency of 1950s Nordics/Germans – a very tall order.
After that your breakup scenario will might come to life – with nuclear weapons in play.
This would allow the Confucians to truly be arrogant and totally ruthless – no one can challenge them in the long run.
3.: Switzerland XXL with nukes: This might be the “low-cost” option. Secure the border. Sell stuff to anyone, who can pay. Grab as many qualified Europoors and Deplorables as possible to pad the percentage of melanin-challenged people. Just lean back.
This is the low-effort version for Russian elites as this is nearly the same course already in place.
The best thing about the end of Pax America is the end of poz – this cannot come fast enough.
Overall the human future actually will be decided in the Middle-East/SSA. Will the local elites be able to maintain some state-structure or will MENA & SSA become “Mad Max without Ford Falcon”. What the f* is mankind going to do with 2 billion underclass young men in the mid/late 21st century?
Someone didn’t tell La Murielle then:
DC mayor calls to TERMINATE National Guardsmen with ‘conflicting views’ before inauguration, requests machine guns for security
She got rebuffed.
“Machine Guns” must be code for that FN Herstal gear, the Squad Automatic Weapon. Or maybe the MG42?

All Russia needs to do is have 7 fertility rate for the rest of the century. Easy superpower. Russoids, have sex.
Which makes his simping for Trump even more dishonest and culpable.
Since we are all sharing our favourite Mao articles

I highly respect you as one of the more valued member of Ron Unz’s band of extremists, but please stop being a smartboi and book-worm.
Communism in China, Vietnam and Laos was fused with nationalism/local culturalism from the start. Since 1978/87 those three nations are only Communist in name.
Nobody who is thinking clearly believes Trump was either a savior or a despot. But the over-the-top reaction he elicited made a lot of people on all sides more concerned than ever about the forces arrayed against us — more than any president since “military industrial complex” Eisenhower, and hopefully with more substantial results.
Even Merkel ended up grudgingly supporting Trump over the social media ban. Gotta call that a hopeful sign, right?
XXL Switzerland with nukes is the best way forward IMHO. Increase fertility rate. And yeah, open the doors to Whites and close the doors to Swarthies. Let them have NATO-land.
That would be very nice…
A little bit of hope, yeah. This is all happening too quickly for most people. I think we’ll have to wait for them to catch up. Once Biden starts disappointing them, maybe they’ll be open to seeing things in a new light?
You can’t be serious. Fuentes, unless he is a psychopathic grifter, definitely showed the signs of “plan trusting.”
I agree about Cernovich, I should not have put him on that list. Cernovich has always been a grifter.
Nuland’s original ancestral family name was Nudelman, which is Jewish as fuck!
Lol you nail it . It was enjoyment teasing army of retards
Nothing ever disappears completely, but if ‘rona stays at current levels, the system will cease functioning in about a year. So they will make it smaller, they know how to do that.
It is a process disease. What is interesting is that most ideologies eventually collapse due to their increasing internal incoherence. As time passes, compromises accumulate and hypocrisy becomes too much, mental chaos becomes unsustainable.
Christianity unified messy, suffering, heterogeneous masses, it provided a refuge, a set of rituals that made lives better. Then it slowly collapsed as the Christian teaching became too small, the prelates too greedy, and Jesus didn’t come back.
Communism did fine with its contradictory precepts when destroying its predecessors and building up a new infrastructure. People could project whatever they wished into it. Then it matured and its internal incoherence became too much: “we will abolish money“, yeah, any day now…
Now for liberalism: the whole markets nonsense, ‘invisible hands’, fake meritocracy, no borders, inconsistent rules, all do as they wish (well, not really all, only some). And with the coming collapse of liberalism will go its asshole sibling “libertarianism” that still seems to appeal to so many in these quarters.
Maybe we should try less ideology.
Russians could pop out much more babies. Once Russia will have 500+ million people, then it could become its own civilizational pole. Until then, it can become a type of neutral zone, or China’s natural resource factory.
Interestingly enough, even the EXTREMELY murderous Khmer Rouge in Cambodia were also VEHEMENT Khmer nationalists!
Agree with that. But to make Russian women “pop out” much more babies the cultural landscape must change a lot. Russians will need some Orthodox “White Shariah ” or some hardcore Russian fascism to achieve that.
‘What happened to the coup?’ QAnon and Co in crisis as Biden is sworn in without the violent Trump ‘storm’ they were expecting to foil handover at the last minute – as one lonesome MAGA fan outside NY State house holds out to the end
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9168995/QAnon-followers-crisis-Joe-Biden-sworn-in.html
The rumor going about is that they tried to do a background check on the political voting patterns of the guardsmen. Upon being told that this is kind of impossible (and illegal), they demanded the guardsmen be disarmed in case there’s rogue Qanon cells preparing to receive their 72 MAGAmilf virgins.
I remember Anatoly Karlin posting something about what Russia’s demographics would have been if it were not for the 5-10 million deaths in the First World War/civil war and the 26 million deaths in WW2.
Just wait the necessary number of centuries for Russia’s breeders (high-fertility people) to become a sufficiently large percentage of Russia’s total population, and voila–you should get what you want in regards to this! I mean boosting Russia’s population up to 500+ million–not the White Sharia and the Fascism crap!

BTW, Mitt Romney’s wife is a modern, emancipated woman and yet she had five children–all sons, none of them gay or bisexual, interestingly enough.
Yeah, without the demographic devastation of the 20th century Russia’s population right now would have likely been double what it actually is right now.
Russia doesn’t have a few centuries to increase its population. It should be done in the next couple of generations. In fact, it is arguably already too late.
Why not?
Then support radical life extension!
The coup was successful. There was typical inauguration of a post-coup or occupied country: thousands of soldiers and no civilians.
Jan. 20 2021
A day of shame, sadness and disgust.
Kamala Harris, whore of the United States
Vice-whore. The whore is corrupt senile half-corpse.
Because increasing birth rates is so easy. It’s so easy that nobody has yet figured out how to do it.
Thanks but nothing is illegal for the Deep State and its minions!
Biden feeling up George Washington is a photoshopping work of genius, or something. Thanks.
We already had “white-adjacent”, now we have “multiracial whiteness”. As the American Red Guard achieves more and more victories against whites whiteness (that is to say, the amalgamated Anglo-European identity of the country) must increasingly be depicted in abstract, non-falsifiable terms to cover up the internal contradictions of the régime.

We will know in a few short hours if it happens within less than a day or not.
That’s a funny way of saying the grand narrative about civilisations is more important than debating the actual events and ideas that occurred, but fine I can see you are not interested in having a genuine conversation about this topic.
Though I would caution that leads to misconceptions of what the CCP can promise and not promise and leads to contrived ideas about geopolitics such as
that don’t accurately reflect the positions of these countries and won’t contribute to breaking the anti-Chinese encirclement.
It also leads to complacent ideas about Chinese conservatism’s relationship with the CCP and the balance of power between the New Leftists and the New Mainland Confucians in future ideological struggles (though I am not sure how much you are interested in domestic Chinese metapolitics).
You know, they are comparing it to their own political system.
Also it was promoting covid-safe orgies.
It’s bad news for mentally ill boys or boys with mentally ill mothers.
Interesting that the USA has such an inflated military budget yet soldiers are not even issued a camping mat on which to sleep on a floor. It’s an odd image – the superpower’s soldiers looking like hobos in a subway station. I am pretty sure the Chinese would censor pictures of their own soldiers in such a situation, or not allow photos in the first place. The Russians also.
Actually, Israeli Jews did. 🙂
The soldier in the photo heading this article does not seem to have a magazine inserted in his gun.

Trump was good on immigration, the economy and was OK on foreign wars. He was just a fantastically incompetent manager, continually appointing the wrong people, stabbed his closest supporters in the back and seem to have been under the sway of Jewish organised crime elements.
Trump makes a good front guy to whip up the crowds and campaign, problem is there was no grey cardinal, only Kushner.
Your comment doesn’t make sense. But either way it looks ugly for Eastern Europe.
Joe might have won the election, but Bernie won the internet. You take what you can get, I suppose.
Let’s all become Israeli Jews then!
Where do we sign?
It took the Viets only a few months to turn the propaganda machine from “hating Japan” to “Japan, our new partners” in 1987 and the apparatus & population went along.
The governments in E-Asia probably already have scenario-plans for the disputes – from military options to facesaving concession.
But go ahead and play libarian.
Its interesting – at the moment, I think the maozi are pretty well locked out, in part because their ideas include that comes off as epically insane like children should be property of the government(and no matter how well they argue it, it just isn’t going to work with our brains). I think the CCP for the moment has vaguely consolidated to accept “traditionalists” into its fold and at least for the near future, this trend is going to continue despite the innate contradictions. There’s really nothing quite like seeing a CCP politico express genuine and heartful love of not just antiquity but also the supposed “moral uprightness” of the past and my inevitable desire to question him if that involves appreciation of spirits and superstitions. Note that this isn’t a hypothetical scenario – that’s from Chinese mayor(now banned) and was expressed rather passionately in private by the Datong mayor.
Incidentally the above was a great example of CCP censorship hurting themselves. The documentary was probably one of the most positive and realistic depictions of the trials and tribulations of a CCP party member, and greatly humanized and made me appreciate the cadre-man as a human being and in many ways, a small kind of hero of self-sacrifice. But China banned it because it showed the real issues of corruption in his colleagues(like how could he control that, especially in a superior?) and in the police(again, he seemed like he tried to do something about it, but he wasn’t all-powerful, and the CCP expects everything to be perfect?).
Plot twist: he’s been dead for years and this is just a hologram
And not just in the West; I’ve been following Japan’s, and it’s currently 1.4 births per woman, but just now looked at South Korea and it’s a catastrophic 0.84. Taiwan is 1.2. Not sure technological civilization can survive these trends.
I’m not buying the idea that Harris was sworn in on two Bibles. Obviously the top book was some demonic tome, to protect her hand from being burnt by an actual Bible.
I haven’t seen any top-line commitments to it. Nobody has gone “all-in” yet.
Chinese TFR is not going to explode, just by going to a policy of a two-child maximum.
I believe the enlightened stance on trannies in the military is to let them join a new foreign legion in South Sudan.
Not really, because if the country had become economically developed more smoothly and rapidly under conditions of political stability, there would have been demographic transition 1-2 generations earlier than it was. There were many indicators of demographic transition rising from the late 19th century even in the (somewhat dysfunctional) Russian Empire. Russia’s demographic transition was slower than Western Europe, partly because of a relative political dysfunction.
China’s politically disastrous 20th century, contributed to later demographic transition, and the vast population that was generated until the last decades of the century.
India is even slower to modernize than China, and partly for this reason the demographic transition is a couple of generations later, and they will bypass China’s population.
Last places to demographically transition will be mostly in Africa, partly because of its political and economic dysfunctions, and the result of this will be a much larger populations in Africa by the time they complete a demographic transition.
A world war perhaps?
Singapore is at about the same level as South Korea.
And TFRs continue to fall.
So what would an all-in pro-natalist policy look like?
My personal feeling is that it would have to involve the stick rather than the carrot. It would require some very authoritarian (or even totalitarian) aspects.

The chad antifa is no longer allowed on social media.
There is poetic justice in this. It would be even more just if they trash every blue city, burn them all to the ground, and hang every woketard.
They did their work well, they are now free to go.
How about just banning condoms and all forms of birth control?
Sure. There are lots of ideas that might boost fertility rates. Banning abortion. Forcing women out of the workforce. Forcing women out of higher education. Discriminating against the childless when it comes to employment. Discriminating against the unmarried when it comes to employment. Implementing a massive transfer of wealth from the childless to those with children. Imposing pro-natalist propaganda in the media and social media, which would require complete government control of all media including social media.
What all of these things have in common is that they’re politically completely impossible and likely to remain politically completely impossible for decades to come. I don’t think even China would risk the public backlash that such policies would unleash.
What they also have in common is that they could only be imposed by an authoritarian (if not openly totalitarian) government.
They all represent serious limitations on people’s personal freedoms.
So it might be possible in theory for extreme pro-natalist policies to work but the cost would be that we’d have to accept a massive loss of freedom. The chances of gaining the necessary public support would be zero. In fact any attempt to implement such policies would almost certainly result in a massive increase in public support for immigration because most people would almost certainly see immigration as a more palatable option.
Speaking for myself I think the costs in loss of freedom would be too high.
It’s almost as if women don’t actually like having babies/raising children very much, white and East Asian women any way. There’s a cultural tendency to assume that women LIKE these things, but I think that’s probably more wishful thinking on the part of men.
The desire to continue ones bloodline and carry ones culture/legacy into the next generation is almost always a male thing, women care little for ideas like that.
BLM riots started under Obama, I don’t think it makes much difference if a Democrat or Republican is in office, even more so when it’s a white president. If anything there’s the potential for rioting to be even more intense under a Democrat government because there isn’t a right wing scapegoat to direct anger at, and also there’s probably going to be more anger from blacks that a Democrat government is “failing” them than a Republican government.
The Feds just tear gassed and dispersed an Antifa/BLM gang in Seattle much more aggressively than had been done under Trump, with silence from the mass media. Things are different now.
This is the difference. All such issues can be dealt with as long as the media doesn’t pour fuel on the fire. The government will continue to appropriate BLM and shape it to their liking and the insurrectionist element will be removed.
I think it’s possible that that’s correct to some extent. If there are alternatives on offer those alternatives seem to be much more attractive to women than child-rearing.
It’s possible that women in the past appeared to like child-rearing simply because they had no choice and there was intense social pressure on them to like it.
I don’t think race has anything to do with it at all. White and East Asian women are simply more likely to have better alternatives on offer, and to be less likely to still be subject to social pressure to have children.
That’s possible. Obviously some women do like child-rearing but it appears that many do not.
I don’t think many people, male or female, care about such things any more. Again it may be that in the past there was enormous social pressure to care about such things.
What all this means is that economic incentives to have more children are going to fail. The carrot isn’t going to work. And resorting to the stick would be politically suicidal and it would mean effectively forcing people to have children that they don’t really want. Which I don’t think would be acceptable to the overwhelming majority of normal people (although it might appeal to a few male Unz Review readers).
Yep, as I wrote in comment # 136 it is time these pawns go back to their box. Until the next time…
Or maybe there’s simply a psychological barrier to actually getting children.
It used to be so that people would enjoy sex, a not so enjoyable period of pregnancy and infancy would follow and then after that period of pure burden things would gradually get better and you’d be able to enjoy bonding with your children. The decision to have sex was also the decision to have children but now you don’t start with that, now most people have had sex for years and the decision to have children jumps straight to considering pregnancy.
In any case, this is yet another futile and dumb discussion of “why don’t women want children???” populated by right-wing men who’ve made no effort to have children. It is the men who are the limiting factor so you need to discuss how to make men more willing. Men never wanted children, men always wanted sex, and there’s no better proof of this than the immense market in selling sex and sex substitutes to men and the lack of a similar market for selling family or substitutes to men.
Government baby clinics with artificial wombs, I say.
I have four kids. And looking back, I should have had a couple more. And my wife agrees with that and she’s not even right wing. It all boils down to finding the right woman and go all in into the family building thing, even if you sacrifice your career and wealth to achieve it. You need patience and courage to raise a family nowadays.
If all one wants is frolicking around, having fun and making money (fiat shit paper) then this person is not really conservative. If one’s selling their genetic lineage for cheap sex, fiat money and corporate slavery or some dumb as shit academic grifter career, then perhaps their genetic lineage shouldn’t survive in the first place.
And we do live in degenerate times…
People who understand that the future of the world belongs to those who reproduce, I say.
The people who want to reproduce most are blacks and Muslims though. I don’t think the rest of the world should just resign themselves to being replaced by them if the technology is available to prevent it.
Because “breeder” Russians have to compensate for the deaths of millions of aging Russians while at the same time outbreeding the incoming Muslims. It’s an impossibility, like life radical extension.
P.s. you reveal your Ashkenazi ancestry and your two X chromosomes, when you propose a pipedream in response to a pressing real-world problem with easier, more practical solutions that involve certain people getting told what to do.
Modern solutions to modern problems!
This is untrue. Historically a man’s offspring were the direct measurement of his virility; it was only after women made it clear that they were never going to reproduce again that the stigma of childlessness was lifted for men. As recently as the 1970s a man could be considered homosexual or infirm if he didn’t have 3 kids minimum. Today, the sexes are so segregated it is impossible to even know what men want; more than half of young men do not even have a woman to negotiate with — marriage isn’t even considered a possibility nowadays. Most millennial and Gen X men aren’t even allowed to own a home; the greedy boomers won’t sell them anything at a fair price. It’s not even possible for them to envision themselves as homeowners much less breeders. But before all this it was indeed men who wanted and forced women to reproduce. They were bred in the same manner as livestock.
Your angsty complaints about prostitution and porn, and your strange indictment of men as responsible for the low birthrate, reveal your Ashkenazi ancestry, Society for Cutting Up Men (S.C.U.M) membership, and two X chromosomes. You people have got to stop pretending to be something you aren’t online.
Nah, traditional solution to the problem of modernism would be better. Stick to it for a hundred years and your genetic lineage will have a 2/3 depopulated planet all for themselves.
Whoever designed the dress/gown/costume worn by Lady Gaga should be executed. He/She/It must be made to die a slow and painful death.
Whoever watched lady Gaga is a moron. She was born gaga and stayed true to form throughout her life.
Men are rarely the limiting factor, in my experience (including myself and my brother) certainly less than 50%. It’s little wonder, since pregnancy and raising children are both more difficult for women.
But it’s correct that some men don’t want children, or at least don’t care, and I know a case where the man prevented his woman from having an additional child. But that’s rare, because it’s more difficult for the woman, and so it’s more typical for her to oppose having an additional child.
Let’s lighten the mood.
Back in the USSR there was a joke. Brezhnev comes to an official function in mismatched shoes: one is black, the other is brown. His aide whispers in his ear: “Leonid Illych, maybe you should go home and change shoes”. Brezhnev answers: “Do you think I am dumb? I’ve already been there, and found exact same problem: one shoe is black, the other brown”.
When I came to the US in 1991 and told this joke to an American-born post-doc in the lab, he said that they had this same joke about Reagan.
Considering how perfectly it fits current senile puppet, I suggest it should be recycled and reused, just change the name to Biden.
Tbh a lot should be looked into encourage people with already two children to have more. There are advantages of scale and most of the opportunity costs are sunk already.
That’s a policy I haven’t seen discussed much but I believe may have real dividends.
Many couples these days seem to want to have at most two children. Could the state do much to change this and try to create a 3 children household norm? Would it do much if the mother received some kind of especially big bonus for the third child?
My wife is perfectly happy to have a third one; if it was financially neutral for me, I would totally go for it. I won’t be losing any more time then I’m already losing.
It was not financially neutral for us to have our 3 and 4 kids, it was tough and I lost career opportunities. But frankly, the kids are the most important thing in the world and career is the least important.
Kids and good deeds are what we leave behind when we’re gone. It is our projection in the infinite. Everything else is shallow compared to the genetic lineage going forward. Individual survival is overrated, genetic lineage survival is paramount.
When you gonna be old seeing your grandchildren will be the greatest joy. Bit if they feel that you count money instead of them having a brother or a sister, they will also count money instead of having your grandchildren born.
Just saying…
Right now, I think the few countries concerned with natalism want to slow the decline or, at most, ratchet TFR up in steps until replacement is reached. This will mean that their only resort is economic inducements – probably minimal in comparison to the state’s other priorities, like defense or retirement benefits.
Some officials might not like the idea of a youth bulge and the possible instability that would create.
“All-in” would mean making TFR the A#1 priority, even above the army or retirement benefits, and being okay with overshooting replacement. It would require a cultural response. Mass propaganda. At the political level, it would require being able to articulate a geostrategic vision. “Look at what is happening over there. It is bad, and we want to prevent it from happening here.”
It would probably need to be at least semi-autocratic in order to sidestep the ideology of globo-capitalism which advocates a different solution: replacement migration. Though, there are lots of intermediary levels of commitment. For example, subsidizing the message, or mandating some commitment to it in public schools.
But if you look at blacks and Muslims who live in societies in which people have more attractive options than child-rearing black and Muslim birth rates have plummeted as well. Black TFR in the US is below replacement level and fertility in most of the Muslim Gulf states is below replacement level as well.
So it’s a developed world problem that affects all races, ethnicities and religions.
So what exactly is the traditional solution to the problem of modernism? Is it rejecting modernism altogether? Should we all become Amish?
What I’ve noticed about a lot of men is that they have no interest in having children and are often hostile to the idea. Then when their first child arrives they transform in Doting Dads and their children become the most important part of their lives.
So maybe in men the paternal instinct is something that doesn’t get activated until a man sees his first-born child.
Of course in the past that first child would happen more or less inevitably in the normal course of events. What has changed is that for a lot of men that first child just doesn’t happen so their paternal instinct just never gets switched on.
Do the statistics state whether they are counting only citizens or all residents? The small Persian Gulf states are usually composed of around 70-90% coolies and expats and even the larger KSA, IIRC, is at 30-35% foreigners.
Given that these foreigners are often working in conditions and in an environment where they would be very unlikely to have children they must pull the TFR way down.
While I don’t know the exact procedures I guess the female coolies would be fired (and effectively deported) if they got pregnant while the men have their wifes in their home countries.
It may be that the native Gulf Arab TFR really is that low, but it may also just be that this specific case study is a statistical anomaly caused by their labour policies.
The number of female expats is much lower. Try looking up the Qatar or UAE population pyramid. The native fertility rate is slightly higher than the overall one but the native fertility rate still isn’t very high. The rich gulf countries aren’t “traditional” anymore.
Okay, mea culpa, I should have looked around a bit more before drawing hasty hypotheses.
I am not sure what to make of the conclusions of this paper; that the fertility drop remains a social problem even when the economic factor is removed isn’t very encouraging within the present socio-political framework (to what extent can the UAE’s experience be generalised?)

It would also have a lot of political advantages since those couples who choose to remain childless could be just left alone, rather than being harassed which just turns them into active opponents of pro-natalist policies.
One easy way to encourage couples with two kids to have more would be to offer subsidies/tax incentives/interest-free loans etc to allow them to build extensions on their homes. If you’re going to have lots of kids you’re going to need a bigger house.
Nope, develop technology and science, but keep your soul. Stay human, have a view rooted in history but have the best possible tech, especially the military equipment. Also have a modicum of Transcendental Mythology / Religion and Ideology. Keep your feet firmly on the ground, but keep in mind that there’s the sky above you and there were past generations before you and there must be also future generations after you. Remember that you are just a node in a human web and a link in the chain of your genetic lineage. Basically the Israeli and to some extent Iranian approach.
It’s declining – not high in historical terms – but they do aggregate the stats with alien female workers, and there is a significant distortion.
I very much doubt that the native rate is below really below replacement anywhere in the Gulf yet, except Iran. Look at Iraq: 3.8 in 2018. The rate for native Emariti women was 3.9 in 2011.
It’s probably headed below replacement, but not there yet.
In my opinion it could not be done in any kind of democratic system. It would require complete and absolute control of all media, both old media and social media. It would require absolute government control of the culture. Quite possibly it could not be done under the current economic system.
Even such half-measures would be politically impossible without a complete change in the political and economic systems.
Democracy + capitalism = demographic collapse. I don’t think there’s any way to avoid that conclusion. You’d need either theocracy or dictatorship.
Amen to that!
The West is too far gone to re-adjust, without a complete systems change, IMO. Unfortunately, that probably makes it dependent on economic incentives, which are structured a certain way now, and which might require an economic collapse, for them to be removed. That means it will take a long time, if ever.
Though, I could potentially see Eastern countries taking small positive steps, like disentangling from alliances with the US, which no doubt create ideological pressures. I don’t think there is a country that engages in mass migration that is ideologically capable of serious efforts at pro-natalism.
I’m not sure a theocracy is really possible. One problem is that the Church itself has had a demographic collapse. And there doesn’t seem an organization with the manpower to rule.
Maybe, the only way for democracy to work would be for the franchise to be limited to families with children. But probably people won’t vote that in.
I’m not too sure how possible dictatorship is. There are regular purges of military officers. You’d probably need a militia, and a militia wouldn’t do too well against the army, especially if they had no external, state-level support.

You said it as if succesfully avoiding new virus, which is most dangerous for his age group, was some bad thing to do 🙂
btw, Putin who is nearly two decades younger than Joe, was sitting in his bunker all last year too, doing his governing through distant televised meetings and requiring his officials to quarantine beefore meeting in person.
Also, if I’m not mistaken much, Biden did some campaining too, e.g. in Minesota right prior day of election.
Democracy has nothing to do with it. Fertility has declined across much of the world, including North Korea.
