The Hard Times Are Approaching The Front Door

Tomorrow begins 2024.

It has been nearly 80 years since the end of World War 2 and the rise of the present global consensus, what some call The Boomer Truth Regime.

If you recognize that number, then you know where I'm going with this.

Or, if you prefer the meme:

Let me review:

• The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.
• Hamas and Israel remains at war, with niggling threats of more fronts opening.
• Venezuela is gearing up to invade Guyana.
• The entire Sahel region of Africa is mired in armed conflicts, coups, and butchery.
• Ethiopia is eyeing an invasion of Eritrea (which will complicate the next item).
• Houthi piracy on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Adan, disrupting global shipping.
• Myanmar is in civil war, and China is looking at intervening.
• Iran is messing with Indian merchant shipping.
• Argentina's new President has a totally-not-at-all-fake-and-gay political opposition rising up and doing near-banditry on the roads.
• Serbia's re-elected President has a totally-not-at-all-fake-and-gay political opposition rising up and doing near-banditry on the roads.
• The Panama Canal is critically low on water, and there's totally-not-at-all-fake-and-gay political opposition rising up and doing banditry on the roads.
• Nacro-trafficking has picked up hard since Biden got into the White House, killing an Ecuadoran poltical candidate and getting involved in the flooding of the United States by hostile foreigners and aliens, a plague that afflicts all of Central America, the Andian region, and Mexico.
• China's elites are mired in a Stalin-style purge cycle, making Winnie The Pooh as paranoid as Little Kim, as its industrial and financial sectors collapse and it makes war noises as a failed distraction and prompting terminal despir to match its demographics.
• Russia's economy is now on a full war footing, which is how it's weathering sanctions at the expense of its future and using its lower classes as expendables to win in Ukraine despite already terminal demographics.
• Globohomo totally not fixing European elections to seize power in resistant states (most recently Poland, who's punchable faggot-in-chief immediately hardlined the poz into the country) and getting surprised when it doesn't work out like it hoped (Wilders in the Netherlands).
• South Africa continues to collapse, and political parties openly call for the genocide of White people (while their fellow travelers elsewhere do so on the sly) and this is now expanding to Asians.
• Deindustrialization and deagriculturalization of the West continues to be pushed for Muh Climate.
• The most pro-Globalization advocates admit that Globalization Is OVER.

The fall of Empire is not the end of Return of the Jedi where everyone has a big party across the galaxy and things magically turn around.

It is a messy process, and it involves a lot of frozen local and regional conflicts thawing out and reigniting into open warfare. We're seeing that now, and it's not going to stop because some cunt in a suit or a robe says so.

It sure as Hell ain't going to stop because some pretty girl on Twitter says so- sorry Miriam.

The Boomer World Order is over. The Muh Human Rights regime is over. History is reasserting itself, and we are reverting to the mean- to the norm. That means a lot of nasty, brutal, and horrific things are making a comeback and no one that could do anything about it will because that is what they want done.

This is a time of score-setting and claim-making. These are the Hard Times that make Strong Men. It is the force that kills frauds and falsehoods across the board--kiss all that Feminism goodbye once the global war goes hot--and unlike past eras there is nowhere left to run. Every region of the world will be involved, neutrality will not exist, your skin will be your uniform, and neither your paperwork nor your bank account will do jack shit for you once it jumps off.

Empire is falling. Now is the time to prepare, to move, and to accept this tragic fact: the world you were raised to thrive in NO LONGER EXISTS!

Alas, War Doesn't Do A Christmas Truce Anymore

It's Christmas Eve today. I have family coming over to celebrate and exchange presents.

Therefore I shall do brief commentaries.

The Gulf

The US Navy losing the ability to gather support to suppress the Houthis as a unit is a sign of decline, but that doesn't mean that the Houthis are safe from reprising. That's billions--trillions--of Dollars in trade being fucked with. If state actors can't use state militaries to do the job, then state and non-state actors can cut checks to mercenaries to do so instead.

This is, as some say, a reversion to a historical norm. Yes, there are Private Military Companies out there ready, willing, and able to go hard on the Houthis for the right price (and after the check clears).

As it is, national navies are securing only ships owned by its citizens or bearing its flag. That doesn't solve the problem, which is Houthi piracy, and they will take weakness as an invitation for predation in due course.

Meanwhile, Israel is going Base Delta Zero on Gaza and no one that could is doing a damned thing about it. As much as people, some of whom I like and respect, complain about it their words fall on deaf ears not only due to tight Narrative control in the West but also near-daily own-goals by supporters fucking with the daily lives (and money) of uninvolved third parties (i.e. Western nations) in attempts to make them side with Gaza.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

Conducting banditry on the roads and in the streets is guaranteed to get people mad at you; keep at it long enough and they will excuse your summary execution by vigilantes. If these people didn't have State support, that would already be happening just to get back to normal daily life- which is under too much stress as it is in the West.

Ukraine

Zelensky is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. Globohomo does not care because Zelensky and Ukraine have accomplished the task put to it by Globohomo: to tank Russia long enough for the DOTs to tick past the point of no return.

Will Russia win? Yes. Will it be Pyrhhic? You better believe it; the demographics, combined with the economic damage sustained, means that victorious Russia bleeds out by 2040 at the latest. Having stupid people as proxies running their mouths about how Moscow wants to annex more ex-Soviet territory (validating Zeihan's claims) does not help at all.

Taiwan

China is making a lot of noise.

If you know Chinese military theory and history, this should relieve you of any imminent threat. The PLAN still has no capacity to execute an invasion for the PLA, and neither does the PLAF.

Winnie's still in Purge Mode, aiming at the Rocket Force in particular as being disloyal, is fearful of coup attempts since the last one years ago, and has descended into a Little Kim level of paranoia in his routine and dealings. He is more afraid of being couped by those near him than he is of foreign actors at this time, which is a repeat of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.

Oh, and there's another "unspecified" public health crisis on top of a massive economic collapse- and yesterday's notice of goat-fucking the Gaming Sector (i.e. Tencent), which is now the remaining revenue-generator for the State since real estate collapsed and export-oriented business is in the shitter, so Mainlanders across the board are as demoralized as their Western counterparts (and thus as disliking the taste for war).

Guyana

Venezuela has its (totally not fake and gay, really) legal basis to roll the (lack of) tanks across the border, and if Guyana's military weren't an even bigger joke that would be morbidly funny.

But it is, so that's a real threat. We're in Phoney War territory right now as Maduro sees if he can scam his way to a win, but odds are good that he'll have to actually do some war crimes so expect that to kick off before too long.

Brazil is attempting to mediate, which says a lot right there, but Lula isn't a retard and is getting ready for Maduro to do the thing he aims to do. The Caribbean Community, the Andian Community, Mercosur, the Organization of American States, the UN, and a few other useless organizations are watching events. Don't expect anyone that could do anything (the US, France, the Netherlands, the UK- all of whom have interests in or near this conflict zone) until lead flies.

Totally Legit Western Governance

The Trump story (a) only concerns the PRIMARY election for Party Nomination in Colorado, (b) doesn't stop the CO GOP from nominating him anyway by another means, and (c) can't keep him off the GENERAL election ballot if he is nominated. Furthermore, the ruling is stayed (no effect) and would be reversed by the Federal Supreme Court anyway. Calm thy tits.

Ireland's already got people torching would-be invader housing. Good. More of that. Lots more of that. I would not be sad if the 5th columnists got the same treatment.

Rahm Emanueal is the US Ambassador to Japan. His mission, by his own confession, is to spread the poz and turn Japan fake and gay like the West. Pro-poz propaganda did not turn up until he showed up. Kick him out, and kick out EVERYONE that enables this dogshit.

Yes, Auron MacIntyre won his bet against Academic Agent already. The Woke won't be put away; they are the Death Cult, and they are in control of Globohomo now. They are mask-off, drunk on their own power, and see no reason to not keep the petal to the metal. AA's fucking retarded "Realists like Tony Blair will totally reel it in to save the Regime from itself" take is so much weapons-grade copium- and I will not pretend that it isn't.

Narrative Warfare: With Allies Like These, Who Needs Enemies?

We start today with a one-two video punch.

The Houthis of Yemen are playing pirate in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, allegedly targetting Israeli shipping but doing a bad job of it.

The US Navy has been slow to react because, for reasons Peter Zeihan has explained time and again, the US playing World Police as a pragmatic Cold War policy and the Cold War ended in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union.

Since then, Globohomo's faction of Empire rose ascendant and so long as there was sufficient lucre for the Thralls of Empire in the United States this would go on in a fashion suitable for everyone's benefit. (And benefit they did.)

So what's with the pause on reactions?

Simple enough, this time: the Pentagon is waiting to see what the Gulf States and Iran do, and in the meantime--and this, I admit upfront, is speculation on my part--I think that certain mercenary companies are getting inquiries about taking on a contract to deal with this piracy issue. Keeping two carrier groups on station ain't cheap, and protecting any merchant vessel not bearing a US flag--and that's the majority of them--is not a US Navy priority now.

In short, worried states and corporations are going to return to tradition and start cutting checks to Soldiers of Fortune- like this guy here.

Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater

Until exactly what is to be done is settled, that media silence will remain in place and only those who follow international shipping in particular and events related to Gaza generally are going to hear much at all- which is not to say nothing and no one, but rather that Normies aren't going to know or care until they see that pirates are fucking with their ability to buy stuff.

This, by the by, is why the Houthis are fucked unless they step up their due dilligence and ensure that only Israelis are hit by the pirate attacks. Not foreign crews. Not foreign vessels. Their intelligence to date has been dogshit, having them to attack uninvolved third parties several times and now forcing shipping disruptions that threaten to affect China, India, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Phillipines, Vietnam, all of Europe, all of the Americas, and--believe it or not--even Russia.

Good job, morons. Turn the world against you. This is how the Barbary Pirates ended up getting murked into extinction.

Once a decision is made, and actions against the Houthis are taken--and don't expect the US military to be the ones to do it; the Houthis pissed off the Japanese- that's not a good thing--it will go down with the support of the whole world because they fucked with uninvolved parties.

And meanwhile, the very objective behind it all--the support for Gaza--is not only driven out of the minds of those same people, they associate Houthi piracy with street-level banditry in their own countries (no, blocking the roads and impeding commerce as a protest doesn't endear you to anyone; without tacit State support, this doesn't not work), which will end up with tactic support for Israel as a result.

And you better believe that Israeli Narrative Warfare agents are on this beat right now. No one cares about events half a world away when their finances, already thinned, get fucked with even harder due to some concrete action by some jackass making their bad lives worse.

This is a major Frame Game fail, and I only wish Frame Game was over there to beat some sense into their leadership. Instead, we can look forward to them getting turned into chunky salsa with public approval.

Idiots.

No wonder Israel wins so many wars against its neighbors.

Narrative Warfare: Fantasies Of Futures Impossible

Again, some folks talk "National Divorce".

The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) has reached the necessary signature threshold in their petition to put a proposition on the statewide primary ballot in March 2024 that will ask voters the question: “Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?”

Under the Texas Election Code, the petition needed 97,709 signatures for the question to be placed in the Republican Primary Ballot. In an open letter to the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC), TNM President Daniel Miller states, “As of the date of this letter, we have collected the requisite number of signatures and more.”

Members of the SREC are meeting this weekend and will be presented with a sampling of the signatures. Miller states in the letter, “This weekend we brought a sample of the names, cities, and Senate Districts for over 102,000 petition signers…”

Allow me to summarize why this is a fantasy, an impossible future, not to be taken seriously.

If this actually gets on the ballot, if it gets on the final ballot, and if it passes, then comes the final question: And you will enforce this HOW?

Yes, the Globohomo Regime of Empire is not what it formerly was. It suffers from a competency crisis due to the junior Thralls suffering from the very degeneracy the elder Thralls pushed upon the West. The core of Globohomo, the United States, remains the engine of power behind this faction of Empire.

It will regard secession, however framed, as an excuse to go Base Delta Zero upon Texas. Regime Loyalists are quick to say "We settled this in 1865" with the glee of psychotic spree killer about to go off with a minigun at the Mall of America in Christmas time.

They do this because this is what they fantasize about. They want to genocide their enemies--us--and one of the ready excuses to do so is any attempt to break away from the Federal government openly and formally.

Note those last three words, and then recall that Globohomo suffers from a competency crisis.

The reality of achieving any form of separation is to exploit said crisis to coverly and informally slip away under the cover of the very creeping incompetence afflicting the Feds and their fellow travelers in State and Local institutions.

This is how the Roman Empire's collapse went down for the majority of (ex-)Romans; Imperial functions stopped working, so local potentates stepped up quietly and informally to fill in the gaps in ways that best suited local resources, aspirations, and conditions- the proto-form of Feudalism.

That is how these Texas LOLberts should have gone, but LOLberts gotta LOLbert so they're aiming to force the hands of Globohomo Thralls of Empire and those Thralls will be all too happy to throw them to show others who's the master.

Folks think that the military ain't going to turn out like the police, who showed their true nature during Corona-chan's World Tour as the System Pigs they are. They haven't paid attention to past or present realities when such notions are challenged, especially after recently signalling of what they are, which is consistent to what they've been many times over.

You are far more likely to succeed by exploiting the incompetency and apathy of its barely-functional cogs and grunts against the Globohomo Thralls. Don't talk, don't signal, don't give any tells whatsoever- just do and keep your mouth shut.

Texas should sandbag, ignore, maliciously comply, and otherwise return the bad faith it gets from the Feds while it refocuses its resources and power to the State and (loyal) local counterparts. What must be spoken of gets the "I did it 35 minutes ago" treatment; it is annouced after the fact, when it is too late to stop it, and no sooner.

This is because Laws Are Just Opinions With Guns. Laws that are not enforced do not exist, and you are not obligated to enforced demands upon you by people that hate you- make them do it themselves or do without.

In this context, that means Texas just doing what it wants without saying anything beforehand and telling D.C. "Fuck you, make me" when they complain- and be ready for when they try (far easier to do, thanks to Modern Monetary Theory, than it seems; just make a Bank of Texas and be done with it).

This is far more likely to succeed doing things this way- and ignore all complaints about Muh Legality. This is exactly the sort of situation where courts and legilatures are at best impotent and mostly boat-anchors getting in the way of necessary and proper action. A leader that cannot seize power and Get Things Done in this moment deserves to fail and made to swing from a yardarm.

Decaying imperial states will disintegrate, but they have to do so in their own time. Trying to force it like this is guaranteed to end with the separatists dead, dying, or desiring it so. You have to let the process do the work and just keep quiet exploiting it to make the transition to the new state to come until it does. Empire must fall.

Narrative Warfare: The Return of Kings Is Nigh

As expected, the Thralls of Empire serving Globohomo that run the Occupied Republic of Ireland retaliated.

I remind you that this is is a champion athlete, an active MMA champion, has plenty of commercial dealings going on, and just became a father. Conor has a lot to lose by standing up for his people- for the Irish Nation. He has skin in the game.

That, so far, demonstrates a nobility of character that casual observers would never have expected of him. Globohomo media has done a fantastic job heretofore framing him as a Bad Boy with all that entails--irresponsible, disreputable, abrasive, dyscivic, and destined for destruction once he is no longer of use--but that framing is now showing itself as false.

This is not how a meathead and fist-drunk thug talks. This is how a king talks. (original post deleted; quoted below)

"This is the way Bernadette yes, but more frequently it has been seen to be not so much the case.

Example A being now convicted murderer Josef Puska.

Puska gained entry despite his prior criminal background. Not only that, he was here for 10 years without ever once gaining employment nor even learning the language.

He and his family, who are now all up on the charge of perverting the course of justice, were granted full benefits of the state, including a house.

Ten years, a house, no job, no language learned, and zero contributions to Irish society. This is not fair.

We have lost Ashling Murphy due to this lapse in security and we had 10 years to find it. We never did.

Change has to be brought in to strengthen our resources here. On the back of this. For Ashling. Once is too much.

That is a serious lapse in national security to allow this to happen. We have got to speak on it. As uncomfortable as it is.

I will not allow people tie me to racism, bigotry, or many of the things they have been trying to tie me to since I have spoken up.

Skin color does not matter to me. I am not white, I’m Irish. This must be stood for. Our system must be stronger!

Currently it is not what it says on the tin. Thank you so much for your response Bernadette. My lady is a Devlin, we absolutely love you in our house."

Millionaire Ghostwriter and Expert Hypnotist Joshua Lisec, a man who pays his bills and builds his family's fortune and future through mastery of Rhetoric, sees the obvious.

"I am not white, I’m Irish."

Or, as some of us say, a Rhetorical Killshot.

If he keeps this up, and he starts making it known that he's willing to step up and lead his homeland out of this genocidal occupation--something that the present regime claimed to legitimize their rule in breaking away from the United Kingdom--he'd have an army at his back tomorrow.

(Hint to Irish Nationalists: Comparing the present regime to the former British occupation may be effective Rhetoric. Check it out; see if it works.)

Because he uttered those words, Globohomo will come at him and his with the fist of an angry god- the god of this world. The arrest was the warning, and he did not shrink from the threat. The heat will be ramped up, increasing the pressure, so we'll see if his coolness under pressure in the ring translates to coolness under pressure in political and legal combat.

I'm focusing on this because it is one manifestation of a trend. The legitimacy of Muh Democracy--fake and gay as that is--is running out, and so is patience with the idea of just letting your enemies have their way with power because they won a popularity contest (voting) that they had every incentive to rig in their favor (as do you). As things get worse, and the rituals of Muh Democracy ring increasingly hollow and impotent, the nations will demand that rulers--that kings--rise up to defend them against those seeking to prey upon them. And, in turn, those demands will go from protection from to destruction of all threats.

And those seeking to rule will rise up. Some will rise up because they are men of noble character and warrior virtue, with a body of like men at their back. You want those men to win. Others will be the Hard Power versions of the Soft Power Foxes running Globohomo right now, and that's no good. For those lacking discernment, it will be hard to tell them apart at first because both will do things that the nation wants and needs. The difference is why they do it, and how they get the nation to believe what they want them to believe (true or false).

You'll see the CCP did similar things.

As the Globohomo Thralls fail to transition from Soft to Hard Power--see Auron MacIntyre's take on this--and the Competency Crisis breaks even more of what the past of the West built, the chaos that results will create the conditions for kings to seize power by their own hands.

Conor McGregor could--should--be such a man. If the Irish State tries and fails to destroy him, or anger him too much, he could easily become just that sort of man; now is the time for Irish nationalists to encourage him to do so and back him up so he can do so.

It is preferable that he does so. It does not matter if he does so or not. IF HE DOES NOT, ANOTHER MAN WILL! That is now inevitable, and not just in Ireland. It will happen in the United Kingdom. It will happen all over Europe. It is already happening in Russia (some of us call Putin "Neo-Tsar" for a reason), and Winnie The Pooh is Emperor of China in all but name (with all that entails). It will happen in Canada, Australia, New Zeland, and the United States- and rulers will stand and deliver.

"Muh Democracy" is bullshit, has always been bullshit, and is now being revealed to the Normies that it is bullshit- and as they grok it, they will call for a king.

Anacyclosis remains undefeated, and so Empire Must Fall.

Pray for Conor McGregor. Pray that God makes a Godly king of him because Ireland needs such a man. Pray that this stops being a meme sooner than later.
