Happy Easter, Orthodox Brothers!

Happy Easter to my Orthodox brothers. He Is Risen! Instead of commentary, I'll point you to stuff to watch or read later.

Gonzolo Lira did some longer post-abduction interviews. Here's a couple of them:

The Supreme Dark Lord, Vox Day, points out the obvious in Ukraine:

Why hasn’t it happened? Because many, if not most, of the people in the affected areas view the Zelensky regime as the enemy, not the Russians.

Now, the observations above could be dismissed as pro-Russian disinformation, were it not for the fact that the Zelensky regime is clearly alarmed by the possibility that Russia will permit the people of liberated/occupied Ukraine to freely vote on whether they would prefer to be governed by Moscow or Kiev. Which means that the information is legitimate, and the Special Military Operation is genuinely popular with the majority of the people of southern and eastern Ukraine.

If you think that's something, his post on the EU surrendering to Russia on the gas sanctions is even more pointed in its commentary. So is his post on the French colonies' election results.

Oh, and proof that God works in mysterious ways: OnlyFans quits Russia.

Sanction the US, Globohomo. Maybe we can get that for us.

Finally, this week's Voice of Reason video. Add this to your Sunday listening, since the video is just John C. Wright reading his script.

Gonzolo Lira Is Alive

Gonzolo Lira, better known to some as Coach Red Pill, is alive. He was held by Ukraine's SBU for five days. This stream happened a few hours ago, and he explains his present conditions therein.

Until he recovers his previous Twitter account and his other social media accounts, he's on a backup Twitter account which you can find here.

A Note On Cynicism In An Age of Universal Deceit

Today's Easter Sunday. I won't get into theology here; I'll leave that to folks better verse in the field. What I want to point your attention to is a movie most of you know, and a lead actor many of you may have forgotten.

The lead actor is Jim Cavizel, who played Jesus. This experience changed him profoundly, and despite getting the male lead in Person Of Interest it would eventually lead to him coming out of the Hellmouth.

It's very easy to be cynical about this. He is an actor, and a fine one at that- easily one of the best of his generation. The business he is in specializes in illusion and deceit, and it is notorious for using those capacities for illicit and immoral purposes. The enemy he faces has institutional and supernatural expertise going back eons regarding how to do exactly that. It is not unreasonable, for the disbeliver and the unbeliever, to conclude that he is lying to the gullible as a grifter.

Until, of course, you realize that (a) he's not acting alone now anymore than he was on stage or screen and (b) his deeds post-Passion are consistent with a sincere conversion and repentance.

Either he's a better actor than any man in history, or he's the real deal, and even by Fedora-Tipper norms (i.e. Occam's Razor) the reasonable conclusion at this point is that he is sincere and earnest in what he says and does.

Consider that, by undergoing a facsimile of Jesus' bodily death and ressurection, he put himself in a position whereby God may show him the truth of the real thing in a manner most would never comprehend. Consider what profound effect that experiencing a replication of the Passion would have on those with the will and fortitude to undergo it and come out intact. The man that began filming The Passion died during production, and a new man arose in his place, and only those overcome by despair would blind themselves to the proof before their own eyes.

That we are relentlessly gaslit by Empire and its Thralls about what really went down at Cavalry should be a clamourous warning bell to alert us to a vulnerability for us to exploit. There is a limit to the usefulness of cynicism, and that limit is when the evidence of its presumptions being rebutted becomes too obvious to ignore and thus to hold on to them becomes self-deceit.

No, Jim is a sincere Christian. The Passion is the point where that happened, and his life since has been to bring his life on Earth in harmony with God and God's charge to the Church. You need not go to the extreme that Jim, however inadvertently so, went but don't be surprised that you too must suffer a death and rebirth before it finally clicks.

Empire falls.

Narrative Warfare: Google Makes It Clear It Is Not Neutral

Received in my Inbox today:

Dear Publisher,

Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.

Please note, we have already been enforcing on claims related to the war in Ukraine when they violated existing policies (for instance, the Dangerous or Derogatory content policy prohibits monetizing content that incites violence or denies tragic events). This update is meant to clarify, and in some cases expand, our publisher guidance as it relates to this conflict.

This pause includes, but is not limited to, claims that imply victims are responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming, such as claims that Ukraine is committing genocide or deliberately attacking its own citizens.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team

You don't do this if you are not desperate to maintain a false narrative. We can tell by this communication how things are really going, and that Google is briefed on the war. Google, by this communication, exposes itself as an arm of Globohomo in a manner it has not done before--this is brick-to-face obviousness--therefore is beyond remedy by merely making a hostile corporate takeover and purging Thralls from the ranks.

Narrative Warfare: Definition Of A System Pig

(Originally posted here. Edited for clarity.)

What’s a System Pig?

He’s someone who works to shore up the Empire of Lies — in exchange for an occasional treat, a condescending pat on the head. He is perfectly aware of all the lies and horrors that the Empire carries out — he is aware, he’s no innocent.

Don’t confuse a System Pig with a useful idiot. The useful idiot praises the regime because he’s just stupid, lacking the IQ points to see through the lies. But the System Pig is smart. He knows that the currency of the Empire of Lies is half-truths and outright deceptions.

And the system pig is happy to traffic in lies — he thinks that’s how he’ll get ahead. He’s the journalist who twists the truth to please his editors. He’s the military officer more worried about diversity, equity and inclusion than about being combat effective.

He’s the pharmaceutical company executive who nods along to the presentation “Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?” He’s the member of Congress who becomes a multi millionaire in just three or four terms in office.

She’s the school teacher who knows her students have learned nothing — yet gives them a C grade and lets them become someone else’s problem. She’s the skinny Vogue editor who nods at the Fat Acceptance activist and agrees to put a heifer on the cover: “Fat is Healthy!”

The System Pig makes a living, sometimes a very good living — but he’ll never make real money. He’ll always be striving. And he’s never going to make it to the top circle — he will only ever be a servant of the top circle. Their little pitbull. Their little slave.

The System Pig is resentful of his masters in the top circle — but he’s terrified of becoming one of the masses. He hates the masses with all his might, because he fears he is not really any different from them. So he mocks them, belittles them, calls them bigots—he SEETHES.

The System Pig is trapped between resentment at his betters, and fear of becoming one of the lessers—and forever telling lies: To everyone, but most of all to himself. He knows that things are fucked up, that things are falling apart — like I said, he’s not blind or stupid.

But the System Pig doesn’t have the imagination to see things any other way. He truly believes that the Empire of Lies is the epitome of human civilization — even as he realizes (if only secretly to himself) that it is collapsing on all fronts with remarkable speed.

The System Pig knows that the regime he is so much a part of is rotten to the core — and collapsing. So he’s going to fight like hell to keep it going for as long as he can. And if that means telling more outrageous lies, killing more innocents, breaking more rules—so be it!

All the lies, murders and horrors will have been worth it, if the Empire of Lies endures. Because now that we are coming to the end, the truth of what the System Pig believes in is becoming horrifyingly clear: Survival is all that matters—whatever the cost to the soul.

Narrative Warfare: The Western Media Circus Is Increasingly Incoherent

The Duran and its hosts have been on the nose this past week. Below are two of its main channel videos; watch those, and those of the hosts on their personal channels. Then follow that up with reading The Saker's situation reports and you'll be far better informed that anyone not directly involved or on the ground.

I will sum up the week's developments.

• Russia defeated Globohomo sanctions utterly by linking the Ruble to gold and demanding payment from "unfriendly" countries in Rubles or Gold. Russia has followed up by shutting off Europe-bound gasflows for non-payment. The Ruble has already recovered back to pre-war strength and is only getting stronger.
• Russia has cemented bi-lateral trade deals with both China and India to settle transactions outside SWIFT and the Petrodollar, further nerfing the sanctions regime.
• Russia has issued tacit Letters of Marque & Reprisal by permitting digital piracy--making them privateers--of Western IPs from countries or corporation deemed "unfriendly"; cutting Russia off from Western/Globohom-friendly gaming, tech, etc. has been weaponized against them by this action. VPN usage now free to launch like a rocket.
• Video footage of Ukrainian personnel--said to be Azov or someone of similiar status--committing warcrimes against Russian soldiers taken captive have propelled the Russia nation to wholesale support for Putin and the war.
• The Russian armed forces have locked down Eastern (Russophone) Ukraine and completed their encirclement of the Ukrainian forces therein--Azov, et. al.--in a cauldron that will now be tightened as those forces are exterminated as war criminals.
• Russian deployments elsewhere have been revealed as feints meant to fix Ukrainian forces--such as they were--in place and are now being redeployed Eastward to assist in the mopup/grind-down.
• Most of the world has refused to go against Russia. Furthermore, some that did are walking back their deeds. OPEC and other oil-exporters aren't going along with Globohomo, seeing their opportunity to get out from under Globohomo control.
• Western media is reporting seriously about the Biden Laptop.

You won't hear this in mainstream Western media. They're doubling-down on the anti-Russia bullshit. Furthermore, a lot of channels online are revealing themselves as being incompetent to address this matter or are compromised to push that narrative- much like you see shill channels for the Chinese Communist Party and other Narrative Warriors.

The extent of this influence network far exceeds what CCP counterparts have accomplished to date, and the CCP has done a pretty good job.

The concern here is that the CCP is, in practice, nothing more than a more honest form of Globohomo. Globohomo does everything that the CCP is accused of, and verified as, doing- they just do it better and with far superior sophistication.

The laptop issue is not trivial. This is, as Anonymous Conservative would say, comms within Globohomo that it's time to begin building a narrative that gives cover to removing the Resident of the United States in favor of a more useful replacement--by default, that's Kamala Harris, and I doubt that she's getting in--and depending on where the media goes with the laptop story and how they spin it they can possibly remove other figures that failed to deal with Russia and China as desired.

Yes, this means Boris Johnson in the United Kingdom, Macron in France, and so on.

The only real moves that the Thralls can do is punish Western nations harder with yet more taxes and accelerating demographic replacement of the West's nations by aliens and foreigners.

And that means Civil War.

Empire falls.
