This Dominican woman is doing fantastic work explaining Globohomo and how it works. This article is about repurposing the Opium War operation to destroy the US.

Opium did not “happen” to China. It was used. Fentanyl is not just “happening” to America either. The drug is the weapon. The collapse is the door. The gate is the prize. Part 1 is live. The Drug Was Always the Weapon πŸ¦‹

Last Week They Tried Again

I won't hear any blackpilling or doomposting about Trump. He said it; you don't attempt to assassinate ineffective people.

Globohomo's feeling the pain now, a pain it hasn't felt in generations, and as such they perceive a threat and move to kill it. Since too many of you lack context, I'll let the ladies of Promeathean Action brief you.

Globohomo's a crime syndicate pretending to be a banking system and an Intelligence network.

Trump's breaking up their racket. He's fucking with their money, and they will not abide anyone fucking with their money. Yes, Iran is about the money. Venezuela was about the money. Kicking the ChiComs out of Panama and other American states is about the money. Shield of the Americas is about the money. Why? You can't do jack shit without money to use as lubrication to keep the machine running smoothly.

PA talks about Globohomo in terms of the Brits and London because the City of London has been Globohomo's capital since the Glorious Revolution and the Bank of London's establishment, when Globohomo moved its capital to the City from Amsterdam (which was previously in Venice, which was previously in Rome under the Praetorean Guard, which was previously in Carthage, which was previously in Tyre, which was previously in Babylon).

Normies bounce off of that; they need only to have it explained that this is a crime syndicate and they'll get on board. You can give the history lesson later.

This attempt also just secured the midterms; you run on what Trump spelled out- they're trying to kill him because he's effective. This is the biggest faction of Empire panicking; Empire is over.

The Aerospace Republic Shall Destroy Empire

EM Burlingame brought us two concepts: The Land Power and the Sea Power. These are defined, by him, accordingly:

  • Land Powers are continental/territorial powers that derive strength from control of large land masses (especially the Eurasian "Heartland"), making them difficult to defeat or project against from overseas but focused inward on land dominance.
  • Sea Powers are maritime/trade-oriented powers that project influence globally via naval and oceanic control, relying on flexible sea lines of communication, commerce, and alliances.

He cites the following in constructing these definitions:

  • Halford J. Mackinder's Heartland theory (also called the Mackinder thesis or plan): ""What MacKinder was talking about was any threat to Sea Powers by Land Powers. Russia is a land power China is a land power US is both a sea and land power." He ties this to Mackinder's ideas about controlling the Eurasian Heartland (Central Asia) to dominate the "World-Island" and threaten sea-based powers, including Western strategies of containing or encircling it through perpetual instability. He also alludes to related classical geopolitics (e.g., broader discussions of Rome's shift, Praetorian dynamics, and dynastic land-based systems in China).
  • (secondarily) Alfred Thayer Mahan's The Influence of Sea Power Upon History (for the maritime side) or Carl Schmitt's Land and Sea: A World-Historical Meditation (for the elemental/ontological contrast between land-based vs. sea-based ways of life and power), though Mackinder is his most explicit and repeated anchor in public statements. These are not presented as exhaustive academic footnotes but as shorthand for the enduring land-vs-sea dynamic he applies to contemporary great-power rivalry and civilizational analysis.

These are good concepts and efinitions. They have strong explanatory power, and should be applied accordingly to current and past events.

However, I think we have reason to add a third term and with it a definition.

The Air Power is not the Sea Power or the Land Power.

It has elements of the Sea Power--a concern for communication, commerce, and relations--and of the Land Power--control of a large land mass--but mitigates or lacks the downsides of both because its real power is in a different medium entirely.

Land Powers, go figure, are famous for Armies. Sea Powers are famous for Navies. Air Powers care about domination of the Air and Space above everything else. Air Powers, therefore, have the dynamism of Sea Powers without the need for imperialism and extrative and exploitative relations due to being materially self-sufficient; they have the luxury of being able to reflect inward, be hard to defeat, with a reduced/eliminated risk of solipsism due to being engaged in exploration and expansion into the Final Frontier.

The United States is, at this time, the sole Aerospace Power. It is unlikely that anyone else will ever become one.

We now have an answer to Things To Come and its Wings Over The World hellscape dystopian future- an answer that is both rebuttal and rebuke. Air Powers do not need, as Sea Powers do, to become imperialist and extractive against neighbors and distant shores; they have the ability to be Good Neighbors and instead help them to better themselves, building them up to become full upright powers in their own right, while retaining the power to obliterate those who seek to disrupt the Good Order of Civilization and its development. Despite media bullshit to the contrary, the Air Power is putting the Sea Power (Globohomo) into the trash heap of history- sinking it under the waves.

It is no surprise, therefore, that only in America could the Air Power manifest because only America has the paradigm needed to make it so- and it is making it so again now after generations of Sea Power subversion because one German (Friedrich List) took the American System back to Europe and the Sea-based Empire that is now Globohomo never forgave or forgot it.

This is what Trump is bringing back, and nothing can stop it or him because this is the idea whose time has come. Empire is over.

Globohomo Summarized In One Minute

I have never seen a better briefing on Empire and how it works than this video.

It's one minute. It's silent. It's all infographics; pause early and often.

Most of the language comes from EM Burlingame, but the details are confirmed by Gen. Holt and Col. Watkins- and independently so by Promeathean Action and the LaRouche Organization (in their own terms).

This is how Globohomo works. They control Intelligence and Finance--Knowledge and Wealth, respectively--and exercise it through control of Security and Banking.

This is the trans-national layer of control. The faces you see on TV, online, etc. are the cutouts--the upper bound of Middle Management--while the Owners and their chief Controllers remain out of the public eye entirely; this is not unbelievable, as it is well-known that the richest and wealthiest people and persons are deliberately omitted from any public register or accounting at their strident urging- and when they urge, there is an implied "OR ELSE" behind it.

As Normies run off vibes, raw data is Greek to them; you have to use Pop Culture to get the truth to them. Fortunately we have a go-to example of how this really works.

The details are off a little, but only a little. (NB: This also means that yes, Revenge of the Sith was also revelatory in a kid-friendly manner on How Things Really Work.) Compare the above clip to the slideshow, and both to acknowledge historical records; this is how things work. Realize that the major banks of the British Empire financed both sides of both world wars, the "enemy" side via cutouts (why Switzerland was, until recently, permitted its fake neutrality and why Singapore was set up to be in a similar liminal position), and that such conflicts not only have been managed since World War 2 but the World Wars themselves, and everything 1789 has been just as Fake And Gay.

That's just the Western side. You better believe they've been trying to capture the East for centuries, which is what the source of Russo-European and Sino-European tensions have been about since 1688 and Continental forerunners even longer than that. Shogun and Taipan look differently in light of this proto-corpo structure of Imperial control, which John Perkins wrote about since 2005 (see Confessions of an Economic Hit Man).

This is how you get things like Heads of State or (where relevant) Heads of Government (e.g. the UK) with no true power, and thus why Yes, (Prime) Minister was revelatory as much as it was comedic- as was House of Cards for drama. It also explains legislatures that don't do what the majority wants, but instantly ignore all laws and impose their will upon a populace without even trying to pretend they have a mandate, as well as judiciaries that will rule in favor of outright criminality or against native populations regardless of established precident or law- to the point of displaying seditious or treasonous contempt.

Find the Daggermen holding the knives. Find the Coincounters controlling the accounts. Then you'll find the Imperators, and their removal will cut the strings of those in their thrall- this is what we believe is how Maduro got snatched out of Caracas instead of blown up like the Ayatollahs are; the former got his strings cut, the latter did not.

As a parting remark: remember that I do not think of Russia or China as Good Guys; they are rival thralls of Empire, buth both are Land Powers and Globohomo has always been a Sea Power. It is interesting, therefore, that we are seeing an Out Of Context solution being applied: The Air Power Conception. (More of these distinctions another time, which will also be building out from EM's language on the matter.)

Empire is Over. Vox Day is wrong.

Narrative Warfare: Empire Reveals Its Roots In The Praetorian Guard

Lots of people have shown their asses since Trump began on Iran. I am very disappointed in a lot of people that ought to know better.

This means we are going to start including new sources that have information that folks ought to have known by now but somehow missed.

One: Globohomo is the Global Banking Empire. If you are still on DA JOOS! you are Not Going To Make It.

EM Burlingame had it right: the root of Globohomo, as we know it, is the Roman Praetorian Guard. They used their control over Imperial Security--i.e. Rome's Intelligence Community--to control the Empire from the shadows. They controlled Emperors. They controlled the Senate, and through that the Legions and thus the Empire. They looted THE ENTIRE EMPIRE to enrich themselves.

Once they finally got yeeted, they fled to what would become Venice and built that into their successor state and rebuilt their entire gangster syndicate system of slaver control using blackmail, financial coercion, and (and this is what people miss) control over the security of targeted individuals. Epstein is not new; before that there were the Finders, and before that the Franklin Coverup, and before than and so on- no, this is the Praetorian Problem and it recasts history in a new--more accurate--light.

From Venice this system moved to Amsterdam, and in 1688 it moves from there to Londom in the Glorious Revolution. There--in the City of London, separate and distinct from London--this empire arose once more using the Brits as a skinsuit. Just as it used the Dutch, Venetians, and Romans before that. (It is very clear that this system is older, but the trace further back gets difficult; it is instructive, therefore, to look at the Punic Wars as the possibility of the parasite leaping hosts.)

What do we have now? A Praetorian Guard problem. YouTube channel Eyes Wide Open is very good about tracking the rise of the American end of the Praetoreans' 20th century iteration (the one that slapped on the irons with the Federal Reserve); if you want the rest of his stuff, pay the man by joining his Patreon group.

What has been going on since Trump first moved in 2015? A revolt against this group.

What has Brian Cates, X22 Report, etc. been consistent about all this time? This is an international crime syndicate. It is multi-generational, rooted in Intelligence (h/t/ Anonymous Conservative for making that clear), and has as its power base control over Information and Finance- and its Enforcers are the security personnel you rely upon. No, not every badge-bearer or plain-clothes is with them; most are not, regardless of their own (lack of) character, but they provide cover for the handful that are and those folks will hide among the rest until they get a call to arrange for whomever they're protecting to get worked. They don't need to do it themselves; they need only permit the security lapse to allow another to do the job.

That, folks, is the Praetorian Problem.

Consider, for all you DAH JOOS! people, that they're subjected to this same regime BY THEIR OWN KIND- same as everyone else. This is how you can have Jews involved in the shit without being The Secret Master Race; they're Just Another Crime Family, subordinate to the Boss Of All Bosses, same as the Jeets and other subject client nations being used by Globohomo as bioweapons.

Trump and his allies are out to break this syndicate. He knows that the foreign Praetorians--such as the Ayatollah and the IRGC--are the local Crime Family and Praetorians (respectively) used by Globohomo to keep the system going, for which they are allowed to skim off the top for themselves (which ends up in Globohomo banks, so it still ends up in Globohomo hands anyway). The regular military? Not so much; some are gung-ho, but enough are not that once the Praetorians around them are gone they'll at least stand down if not turn around and support the revolt.

You know this is the correct read by Globohomo's reactions.

Also by how the rival factions--Neo-Tsar and Red Dynasty--are steering clear; they know this is really the Global English Civil War, Round Four, so aside from keeping their own backyards free of interferences, and cutting loose anyone dumb enough to butt in, Moscow and Beijing are going to Let It All Play Out and deal with the winner.

There is a plan; it has been wargamed. There is a plan; it is being executed. There is a plan, and Globohomo will try--and fail--to stop it from happening. Empire is Over.

Narrative Warfare: Mike Benz On USAID, DARPA, & Globohomo Culture Jamming

This three hour interview dropped over this past week. Watch it.

This is the core of how the Thralls of Empire serving the Globohomo faction get shit done.

That President Trump has crippled this one massive money-laundering program has, by itself, had massive effects worldwide but is mostly invisible to Americans at home in the U.S. and all of the programs and procedures executed abroad are refined for deployment at home in the U.S.- with this "transitional justice" scheme (i.e. seize power and then jail or kill judicially the enemy to hold power indefinitely) being the most obvious and recent example.

Put this on, have something handle to take notes, and follow up on what Benz mentions so you can see for yourself.

This is what the foxes running Globohomo use over actual force, and they have for generations, such that their will and acumen to use force has atrophied. This is why they freak out so hard over everything Trump does, every court case Trump wins, and every attempt they make to work around Trump's agenda (mostly via the European Union). They are wholly reliant on mindfuckery and judicial diktat; take away the funding for both and that power withers, and fast, which is why they are so belligerant in response.

Empire is falling.

Razorfist On Joe McCarthy And The Narrative Warfare Waged Upon Him

We take a break from the present to review a man long reviled as a villain who has since been revealed as a hero.

Razorfist has several videos like this on his channel, one of which he mentions--Hollywood Was Always Red--in this video, that are also worth watching. Relevant to this blog is the one on Abraham Lincoln, who is the man that erected the first version of the Globohomo regime (which would become the basis for the later versions as seen under Franklin Roosevelt and beyond).

The death of McCarthy is due to incessant media-driven harassment, which did not end after he died. In death, unable to defend himself and no one alive willing to do so other than Pat Buchnanan, the Thralls of Empire serving Globohomo got away with playing the Frame Game making a villain out of an American hero by keeping the Narrative Warfare campaign against him intact until it was well past the point of being moot.

Yes, this means that the collapse of that narrative now isn't worrying to America's Globohomo agents. They believe their power, despite Trump, to be sufficiently secure to weather all threats so they feel no need to hide anymore. Furthermore, if they do get their final victory they will have god-like control over information so any damaged narrative containment can be patched up then and will be able to control what is believed globally about that and a lot of other things through this total information control.

You can't act on thoughts you don't have.

Think this is overblown? Observe the following, from this past week:

This is why Thralls don't care about breeding; they don't need their own children when they can just poz yours and turn them against you, right out of 1984.

Fortunately, despite their own self-confidence, we have the critical mass of competent opposition needed to end Globohomo.

Fortunately, despite the incompetence among that opposition, said opposition has critical components of state power under its control and are steadily purging holdouts getting in the way.

Fortunately, despite the braying of the terminally online, said opposition has read their playbook and knows that Globohomo's Thralls hasn't read theirs and are acting accordingly- including all the public theater required to deal with a population proven incapable of Dialetical thinking, including among its supporters.

Fortunately, Empire is falling.

Narrative Warfare: The Great Men Have Returned

You can tell that the Narrative shifted because what had been unthinkable before the God-Emperor retook the throne is thinkable again.

Academic Agent has his flaws and blind points, but here he's in his lane.

He's nailed it that the Thralls of Globohomo hate Trump and those like him because the Thralls are, at their root, spiteful mutants used as tools by Empire; Managerialism and the machine-god technocratic bureaucratic apparatchix is diamentrically opposed to the Great Man--to Man fully manifest in his capabilities, a competent and confident Man In Command--due to the fact that Thralls, as that term implies, are not men with Agency- they are not Men In Command, even if they are in office.

Mystery Grove had their number.

It is clear to me now that the Thralls of Globohomo are every bit the same as those whom they employ as wranglers and herders of the rent-a-mobs they use as deniable militias.

This is also built upon by Mike Benz.

Lawfare. Consensus manipulation. Media-driven illusionism. All of this is the way the weak wage war.

This is weaponized social pressure. It fails against Great Men because Great Men do the pressuring. Given that the Thralls already tried to kill Trump, I doubt that trying to do that a third time will turn out any better now that he's back in office and the Secret Service is on the ball because they aren't keen on losing a sitting President regardless of who that is.

That it's not working is telling. The Boomer Truth Paradigm is over. We are back to the norm, the baseline that Great Men--the ones with Agency, the Men In Command--are back in command. Globohomo's going to have a problem it can't solve. Empire is falling.

The Great Betrayal of the Baby Boomers

This past week, while roasting Elon Musk for pushing for Infinity Pajeets on H-1Bs (which is a terrible idea, as it is when Mainland Chinese swarmed the US), we had those wretched thieving bastards cluck from their retirement homes to shiv their own children one more time. Cat Girl Kulak posts the best summary below.

Taking property passed down to them, with the expectation that--as it was preserved for them by their elders--they will cultivate and steward it for the betterment and benefit of their own children and grand-children, and then spending it all on their own pleasures without any regard for their posterity while betraying their successors in favor of aliens and foreigners is truly a Biblical level of crime perpetuated by an entire generation. In historical terms, this is one of the most common ways for nations to collapse and fall.

Power and wealth must be seized from the Boomers before they finish wasting it all on themselves; it is not, and never has been, the property of any one man or even any generation in particular- it is the property of the family as a whole. The leading generation is nothing more than a Trustee managing a Trust, to which all of the consanguinity is a beneficiary that is entitled to enjoy its proceeds; this is how things worked in the Ancient World, and it is to the Ancient Law that the West must return to see Empire fall.

Yes, this means that Modernity must be treated as the heresy that it is. Yes, this means that the Enlightenment is a lie. Yes, this means a lot of things from roughly 1500 A.D. forward (if not earlier) are wrong and needs be reverted. Modernity is Boomerism. Boomerism is Empire. Empire must fall.

PS: Oh man, this post on Twitter nailed it.

No aliens. No foreigners. All of them must go, legal or not, long-timers or not.

And no, this is not the limit of my opinion on the matter. I go far, far harder than this.

The Fancy Spoon Talks About The God That Failed

The Boer Utensil has a point to make.

What I am not hearing out of this is why this makes a State an Empire.

Furthermore, this doesn't even need a King or Emperor. All it requires is a Patriarch. The basis for Civilization is the Family.

No, I don't mean it the way it's used now. As that video shows, the Family is a State unto itself- and it is an Absolute Monarchy.

While I agree that the European nations long for kings, and being Euro-descendant that still has weight with the American nation, we Americans must take the harder roads and revert straight to Ancient Patriarchy.

The modern State, the modern Corporation, and the modern individual are all Fake and Gay bullshit. The ancient family is ALL of those things, and it is Natural Law; this is an emergent property written by God into the fabric of Creation itself. Any polity that doesn't build off of this deserves to die.

A fixed American polity, which must be a Republic or it's not American, works this way:

  • The Family--defined as the entirety of the legitimate (i.e. born in wedlock) scions of a total patrilineal consaguinity--is the fundamental unit of the American polity. It alone has Personhood as we define it now, and thus assumes traits we current put to both natural and corporate (i.e. legal) Persons. The Patriarch of the Family is Pater Familias, and is the sole party responsible for ALL family members regarding outsiders; he has both absolute liability and absolute authority- and the power that goes with both.
  • Within a given political boundary, the eldest Patriarch administers that unit as he sees fit. The town is run by the eldest Patriarch in town, and so on up the chain. This is not negotiable. Don't like the current guy? Gank him, and everyone else, between him and your guy. Simple as.
  • The Family is checked only by the Church. ("Which one?" I capitalized the term. Figure it out.) The Church, furthermore, is there to be a safety valve; orphans unable to find homes, dissonant outliers who cannot find a place in secular society, etc. are to be taken in by the Church and either made useful (clerical work, ordination, etc.) or made impotent (i.e. by taking them out of the country, putting them in monestaries or hermitages). This is the only major change from the Ancient Family and religion, as the Ancient model is pre-Christian.

This addresses all of Spoon's criticisms, while retaining the core American character. There is nothing about republican forms of government that requires ANY democratic mechanisms at all. You can, and I have laid out how, a Republic can have absolute leadership.

There is a crystal clear chain of command between Families in terms of seniority; this is Explain Like I'm Five levels of simplicity and robustness. The system runs off "Fix it or I fix you" as a core tennant, making explicit in form what is already implicit in function in real life, and it removes those segments who have no business being anywhere near power or influence from having it.

With the Church on hand to intervene when things go awry (and the possibility of the Church again also being the Bank; see the example of Crusade-era international banking), and a system where the failure modes are well-known and well-documented (to make fixing and replacing easy to do), and you have a system that (a) conforms to Natural Law, (b) requires little complex machinry to operate (literal and metaphorical), and thus (c) is very robust and easily maintained without (d) having to resort to Empire. This is the basis for a Nation-State that WORKS.

And it is explicitly anti-Modernist by design.

Narrative Warfare: A Funny Thing Happened While Studying World War 2

British public historian TIK began his channel by doing lengthy and niche studies on Stalingrad during World War 2.

Eventually he began noticing certain pattern commonalities among the combatants. Yes, combatants- not just the Axis. Like many, TIK went into the origins of the war's conflicts and thus got into the questions of the ideologies motivating the contending parties of the war. While Imperial Japan remains absent, his insights into Communism, Facism, National Socialism, Mosley's British Facism, and even the Social Democracy attitudes in the United Kingdom, United States, and the rest of the Anglosphere would lead him into Pattern Recognition that would make Blue Hat Gang proud.

The result is a series of videos that had him concluding that the common pattern was (stop me if you've heard this before) a Christian Heresy disguised as a political ideology and these would become a popular sideline series of videos- a series that is now a playlist.

While talking about Hitler and the Nazis gets the clicks, all of his analysis of Nazi Germany and Hitler would find its way first to his contemporaries and then to the men leading into their various regimes: the 19th Century emergences of Communism, Socialism, and so on. The Pattern Recognition got refined from the general (the ideologies) to the specific (their founders and proponents) and that would lead to a trio of videos, the most recent dropping early this past week.



Go ahead, watch the latter three videos. If you have time shortages, watch just the first of the three and at Double Speed. Take notes.

Once you see TIK's Psychological Profile, write it down and commit it to memory. Compare this against every single Leftist figure you have ever heard of. You will find that a suprisingly high number of them fit this profile like it was a custom-made set of clothes.

Why does this matter? For the same reason that Empire seeks to study prospective prey: to learn how best to attack and destroy them.

You will find this profile in Keir Starmer's government. You will find it in Ursala von der Layen's EU Commission. You will find it in every Leftist organization, great and small, and especially with their Antifa street operatives (and the genetic refuse they wield as bioweapons).

In short, you know what to do--in the specific AND in the general--to shatter them utterly, and then to grind the shards to dust.

TIK has done a lot of good here. This is information you can use, you can APPLY TO YOUR OPERATIONS, and you SHOULD!

He just added to your toolbox. Thank the man, throw him some financial support, and then return the favor by breaking the people he's profiled. Empire Must Fall.

Narrative Warfare: How To Fake The Past

When Ubisoft started promoting Assassin's Creed: Shadows featuring the historical man known as Yasuke, there was a concerted effort to promote the narrative that he was a full-fledged samurai.

To make a long story short, "LOLno".

But (a) that hurts Ubisoft's prospects for the game and (b) doesn't further the demoralization campaign against Japan so (c) "the evidence" needs to be doctored to support The Narrative.

Time for the one-two punch on how this works:

When I went through University, every single librarian and historian I studied under--NO MATTER THEIR POLITICS--forbade citing Wikipedia for this reason.

But the issue here is Citogenesis turning into Accepted Fact and thus Common Sense, and that is Narrative Warfare in action.

There's a reason that competent scholars not only interrogate the evidence but those that provided them; scholars, like scientists, are just as prone to corruption as bureaucrats and elected officials- and, like scienitsts and politicans, are just as often stupidly cheap whores to boot.

This has been a well-known problem for so long that it's become a storytelling trope to itself.

(Insert theories about Prince Harry being a secret bastard here, among other Manufactured Narratives-as-History trope examples.)

Now consider this being done with things that you know or care about. Some of you care about Ukraine. Some about Gaza. Some the legitimacy of the American Federal Government. Whatever it is, consider that the narrative surrounding it may not be wholly true or factual, and consider that this may be so because the lie serves the narrative.

This wilfull fabrication and obfuscation of the truth in and of itself serves the purpose of Empire. By throwing certainty into chaos, Man is thrust into a liminal space where the core of his identity is rendered fragile and malleable; Man must anchor himself into something certain, or seemingly so, in order build first his identity and then all else that defines him and his existence- his culture, his civilization.

Deniably throw the target into chaos (cause the problem), then Empire comes along with answers that restore order (provide the solution) with the hidden costs of enslaving the target to Empire and making Thralls of them in the process because the new order rests itself on a fraudulent inversion of Original Sin that only abasement to Empire can assuage- but never release.

Tell me that is not what happened in the West post-WW2 and I will call you a liar, because that is exactly what happened- and now they're doing this to Japan, South Korea, and it will begin worming its way through Latin America too in short order. All that changes are the trappings.

This is Empire in action, and it is why Empire must fall.

Narrative Warfare: The Human Sacrifices Did Not Stop

A reminder on how bad things get, and are still in many places, and if not for the Internet this would still be buried in places like the old Art Bell radios show.

Trafficking is not just the satisfaction of targetted individuals' disordered desires in order to get kompromat to use as leverage over them and thus suborn them into being agents of Empire.

Trafficking's real purpose is a spiritual one. It exists to feed human sacrifice demands.

The only difference between then and now is that the ritual action is "merely" sexual violation instead of going straight to outright ritual murder. The killing, instead, is far more likely of the Cleaner sort than the ritual murder- though that certain still happens.


Exaggerated, but not by much.

The defense of the trafficking is not merely because it hides among the trafficking of drugs, guns, illegals, and other things deleterious to a target population that Empire seeks to subjugate.

The defense is particularly vehement because, like the otherwise-inexplicable disproportionate punishment of the Imperial Creed's violation (i.e. disrespecting Muh Gayshit), it is a religious matter. Trafficking feeds human sacrifice, which is what Empire feeds upon to sustain itself in the face of relentless force by God and Nature to snuff it out.

Which is why whenever anyone poses a threat to any aspect of the trafficking network, you can rely upon a dispropotionate retaliation to come upon those responsible.

Narcotrafficking networks cause a lot of problems in Latin America. They do not stop at drugs; guns, people, and more also get moved around by them- and Intelligence Agencies make use of them as Deniable Assets. (Remember Iran-Contra?)

If you want to focus on just one thing to hurt Empire, one thing that directly and materially affects damn near everything else, attack the trafficking. Not a move for the weak, timid, poor, or faithless; don't think you can Lone Wolf that shit.

Work at home. Get up to speed on what this is and how it works. Then tell your family, your friends, and your neighbors. Focus on how this directly and materially affects them, and then on what they can do here and now to deal with it- and (believe it or not) how local authorities (the ones you actually have any power over) can act.

You'll soon see if the networks have their hooks where you live, and if so how.

This is a part of Empire's core, something that you see everywhere and everywhen where Empire holds power. Hit this, and it will be forced to react; when it does, it can't keep up attention and resources elsewhere, meaning that you can force an opening through which you can attack Empire and defeat it with proper follow-through.

And, once you show that Empire bleeds, its aura of invicibility is gone.

And Empire falls.

Narrative Warfare: The Thralls Will Not Even ANYTHING Alone

Let me take a break from the geopolitics for a bit. Friend of the blog Rawle Nyanzi brought this to my attention.

Let me unpack this for you, if you don't care about hobby games like Dungeons & Dragons.

The Rewriting Of Myth

I said several years ago that one of the tells of a conquered culture is that its mythology gets rewritten.

By now all of you have seen stories like this come across either your social media feeds or more mainstream news media outlets.

This is mythology revisionism in action.

This cannot be limited to public artworks, names of institutions, or other things that are considered Serious Adult Stuff.

A conquering religion has to conquer all of the enemy culture's mythology, and that means all of its expressions thereof. In our context, this includes all forms of entertainment or hobby pursuits- and tabletop fantastic adventure games are full of that mythology.

Therefore the conquering culture has to seize control of it and exert what power it can to compel that it conforms to the mythology it seeks to impose upon the conquered.

In colloquial terms, this is a Psychological Operation- a Psyop. Specifically it is a Demoralization and Humiliation Psyop, not only to demonstrate power over the conquered (which they will confess when pressed), but--in playing the long game (on that, see below)--to rewrite mythology and history so that they have always been right and the conquered always wrong.

If that sounds like "We Wuz KANGS!", that's because it is and it works if left unchecked.

There, here and now, young adults that sincerely believe all sorts of revisionist history because that history got rewritten by the conquering party and left unchecked- as Razorfist demonstrated almost a year ago about Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War.


And yes, the Tankies gainsaying him validated his claims by doing so. Retards.

While this move by Wizards of the Coast seems minor, consider how soon the changes wrought just a decade ago to various company-owned products are now seen as normal- as "It's always been this way."

And no, this is not just WOTC. The former owner, TSR Inc., did this also more than once and now there's a massive population of "veteran players" who can't even play the game as it is because their own misbegotten false knowledge--"It's always been like that"--is at odds with the written word on the pages of the games' manuals.

(N.B.: This is the psychological root of the freakouts made at the #BROSR, the cohort of players who sought out to play the game as-written and see how it actually worked, only to find that the results had nothing to do with the Just So fake lore long promulgated via early revisionism. As the saying goes, "As Above, So Below".)

So this drive to purge a hobby game of any vestige of anything, ANYTHING AT ALL that runs contrary to Globohomo's Narrative is just part of a far larger campaign to ensure that no one hears anything but THE MESSAGE and thus believes anything but THE NARRATIVE.

This is grunt-tier Narrative Warfare. This is why Empire Must Fall. Resist here, or believe tomorrow that Black Is White.

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.

Continuing The Recovery Of Ancient Remedy: "The Ancient City" In Full Audiobook Format

Last week I posted an excerpt from Fustel de Coulanges's The Ancient City. This week it's the full book in audio form, complete with commentary by the compiler- Christopher Anadale.

Why the gap?

The playlist creator had to clean up the list. Simple as that. Bad as things are, sometimes an error is just that and I held off until this got fixed.

If you enjoyed "The Ancient Family", you will love the full book. If you're the sort that likes to read and listen, Imperium Press's edition is the only one that you're going to easily find AND won't cost an arm and a leg- something I am particularly sensitive as I've already spent a leg.

In de Coulange's 19th century tome we shall find the remedy for what ails us, as this is a direct retort to the claims of Modernity and proves that our ancestors not only were not ignorant or nescient, but had already solved all of the social problems that ails the Modern World.

As with the Family, the decline of a nation, a society, or a civilization can be mapped to its deviation from this known solution to a known problem.

We Have To Go Back to make Empire fall.

Recovering The True And Original Government Of Man By Man: The Family

Fustel de Coulanges published The Ancient City in 1864. This book explained, in detail often missed to contemporary discourse, how Civilization in the Ancient World actually worked. Today it is again available in print thanks to Imperium Press (and you can get your copy here or at Amazon).

Book Two focuses on the Family, and it is that excerpt that I embedded below. You can play this at 2x Speed without losing any fidelity of information; you may even benefit from it, as I did. (Yes, you can get this seperately from Imperium Press; go to here or to Amazon here.)

Listen to this with your full attention. It merits that compete devotion to fully appreciate what Fustel communicates to us from before the mistake that was The Enlightenment, and it demonstrates that there is a natural and emergent principle beyond materialist conceptions behind the institution of the family.

I had, over 20 years ago now, intuited what Fustel described independently and it had informed my fiction--literary and ludological--since then. Fustel laying out plainly what I'd intuited hit me with a wave of validation that I'd not had in years.

RAZ0RFIST Fuck You I Was Right

There is no way to succeed against Empire without returning The Ancient Family from the dead.

Not some of it. Not bits and pieces, like piling stuff on your plate at a buffet. It's the whole thing: the patriarchy, the patrilineality, the restoration of the Father as supreme authority over the Family (including recognzing the Family as an Eternal Trust, and the Father as its Administrator as well as chief beneficiary, wherein all wealth and property are held), and more.

This, right here, is the thing we need to build a successful resistance worldwide against Empire.

There is no solution in Modernity. Empire needs Modernity to survive and thrive; Empire is behind every assault on the Family- the decay of this institution follows the corruption of Civilization.

Returning as much as possible back into this private realm of the Family is what is necessary to make Empire fall.

Narrative Warfare: Imperial America Is Not A 20th Century Creation

The Excellence of Elocution cut an hour-long rant, with chapters, on the Myth of The Liberator.

What Razorfist explains is that, far from being America's greatest President, he was the man that formed the first iteration of Imperial America.

The lasting impact is summarized thus: Before the American Civil War, Americans said "I am a (State), part of these United States" and after they said "I am an American of the United States."

The 14th Amendment and the Act of 1871 would give teeth to those changes, and not just in the manners explained by the current Thralls in the government schooling system (itself an import of Prussia's system, intended to turn children into industrial age cogs that follow orders without question) that came to dominate after the war.

Today's Globohomo has predecessors. This is one of them, and those predecessors would blend together over the World Wars to become the globa imperial power that it is now.

Note to my fellow Americans: Razorfist is right that our native divide is Jefferson v Hamilton. We're split over subsidiarity first and foremost, and it is obvious now that even putting primary onus on the several States is still too centralizing; we must insist upon further decentralization, ultimately down to the (extended, not nuclear) Family (and its Patriarch as Head of State), vested permanently and irrevocably on a self-sufficient Homestead. That is the heart of the American Nation-State, the Family Homestead.

There's more to the American context than this, but Razorfist hits on the load-bearing pillar. That Lincoln is remembered as a great liberator is an example of long-form and short-form Narrative Warfare, across the spectrum, at work. Take heed, folks, and remember this going forward; mythology can be weaponized- and Lincoln did it first, to the American nation.

Empire relies on control over mythology because myth is part of relgion, which generates culture, which turns into politics, which is power put into practice.

You know the high ground now. Seize it, and Empire falls.

Rule By Spook

This past week, Elon Musk began releasing heretofore private information about Twitter's operations through a handful of mainstream Western journalists.

Collectively these are "The Twtter Files", and what they reveal is confirmation of what dissidents across the board have suspected and claimed for years about how the Twitter censorship regime worked.


Former CEO Jack Dorsey had no real power. He was a figurehead. The real power was "Trust and Safety", which directly liased with Globohomo assets in various governments and corporations as well as their counterparts in the Chi-Com sphere of influence. We can, reasonably, conclude that other parties at least maintained contact with this ruling cabal at Twitter.

The many rainbow-haired Thralls that Elon fired recently were the Commissars--the political officers--charged with enforcing the Twitter Politburo's diktat--and their recent purging pointed in the direction of this revelation's confirmation, pressaged by the immediate turnaround of Twitter Japan's Trending Topics from Globohomo faggotry to far more wholesome and Normie-friendly J-Pop talk of pop music, anime, manga, TV shows, etc. in the blink of an eye.

What this points to is the confirmation of a claim made by Anonymous Conservative: Rule By Spook.

AC claims that this happened in the United States about a century or so ago, and similar forensic historical analysis by Richard Grove (Peace Revolution, Grand Theft World, Tragedy & Hope Podcast) extends this to the founding of the American republic itself. (I will not expand on this further here; I direct you to Grove's many years of podcasts to pursue this.)

But you are not yet interested in that history. You want to know what this means here and now.

Imagine Twitter under Dorsey, but for all of the West. The politicians you elect are not the power-wielders, and are not elected by you; they are selected by others, and they are actors playing out a pantomime of power for a deliberately deceived population intended to be used as cattle- to be herded as useful, and culled as necessary.

There is no need to talk about supernatural creatures. There is no need to speak of extraterrestrials, or hidden civilizations. All that is necessary for this to be valid is to recognize the following:

  • There is power in deceit.
  • Those that recognize power in deceit come to recognize the power in rigging the outcomes of life by deceit in their favor.
  • There is absolute--but utterly fragile--power in ensuring that all operations of life are controlled by those that deceive.
  • Therefore there is no other outcome but to conceal oneself while assuming control over all nodes of power within a civilization, and destroying all that cannot be controlled or denying access--including, in time, acknowledgement--of what it can neither control nor destroy.

This results in the policy of "TINA": (T)here (I)s (N)o (A)lternative.

The end result of Rule By Spook is Rule By Fraud, which requires ever-increasing unreality and a constant shifting of what is and is not acceptable to keep would-be opposition off-balance and permitting easy pretexts for Spooks to enforce their rule in the deniable fashion that they require.

That may explain Clown World in a general sense, but not the civilizational suicide.

No, this is not mere "Rule The Ashes" thought. Nor is it "Manage The Inevitable Decline". Both of these are due to the Spooks' actions across recent generations over the last century or so, which means that something other than secular rationality--if you believe in such a thing--is driving this.

It is not a surprise that a lot of the roots of tradecraft and the game of espionage derive from the temple cults of Antiquity. Egpyt in particular was lousy with them, with priests using their position to establish information ratlines to create intelligence reports, reports that would be weaponized due to disparities in information to put all of those priests into a superior position of power over others- sometimes even over the Pharoahs.

(Side Note: This is what the Aten Incident was really about.)

This practice continues to this day. That's what the child abuse is about, and why the Spooks are lousy with pedophiles and pedophilia; it's not just a tennat of their faith that they must ritually defile life to satisfy their immortal master, but also grants them power over others they lure into participating in such acts where they can be seen doing it. This awareness of the prevalence of such predators is finally getting popular notice, such that it is now suspected that many supporting Globohomo are either partakers or covering for them.

The Spooks may not be vampires, aliens, or killer robots but they are predatory cultists in thrall to an evil spirit that claims mastery over the world and has enough power to make that claim seem real. That much is clear in the outright demoralization of any society and nation that comes into their power--look at Poland--and so is the clear disconnect of "elected" officials from those they claim to serve.

"We are better than you" is what the Spooks' actions say, "for we are possessed of Secret Knowledge and by dint of that knowledge we alone know what must be done, and we cannot trust you to do it so we do it out of your sight so that we need not fear your interference. We are The Secret Kings, we see all, we know all, and We Rule You."

Alas, Anonynous Conservative is also right about the only way forward: ruthless, totaly, and complete exposure followed by a more ruthless purging by fire and blood.

Empire is not stupid. It knows it should not be. That's why it hides. Rule By Spook is the inevitably outcome of its nature expressing itself via its Thralls, and in that it sows the seeds of its destruction, and Empire Falls.

Meanwhile, There's Trouble Brewing In Pakistan

The following is taken from a Telegram channel, originally by George McMillan. Edited for clarity as required (which isn't much at all):

The recent Imran Khan rallies since his ouster 3 weeks ago needs to be placed into the ongoing historical significance of the Shia Revolution of 1978-9 in Iran, the Sunni Revolution manifested by the Grand Mosque Seizure of November 1979 in Mecca, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1980, and the subsequent US CIA SOF support of the Mujahideen in the 1980s as portrayed in the movie Charlie Wilson’s War which put everything in the perspective of Great Britain’s great game of preventing the Russians from gaining a war water port since the Catherine the Great era of the Russian Empire of the 1800s.

The Pashtun's original territory was "from the Amu Darya (Oxus) River to the Indus River in Pakistan before the 1921 Durand Line of Control. The Durand Line became a national boundary with the end of the British Raj and the creation of Pakistan, India and East Pakistan which became Bangladesh in 1956.

The Punjabs and Sindhs ruled Pakistan for decades while the Pashtun were illiterate tribesmen living in the mountains of Western Pakistan and Eastern Afghanistan.

After the Shia revolution of 1978-9, the Sunnis in Mecca wanted a theocracy also where the Caliph is selected by a vote among the Imams.

Read everything about the Grand Mosque Seizure of November 1979. It explains how people from the Arabian Peninsula started funding radical Sunni Salafist/Wahabist madrassas and mosques all over the world, but they started in the Pashtun areas of AF/PK border because they are 7/10 lost tribes of Israel. In other words the Arabs, descendants of Abraham are uniting the other descendants of Abraham who "correctly" followed the right prophet path and accepted Islam.

Since 1980 people from the Arabian Peninsula funded the Sunni Salafist/Wahhabist mosques and madrassas in AF/PK in order to encircle the Shia Persians from the East side of Iran.

It was at this juncture that the Russians invaded to stop both Shia and Sunni radicalism from spreading North into the moderate Muslim Southern Republics of the USSR.

The Russians were not there to get the "warm water port" that the Anglosphere media purported and the movie Charlie Wilson's War portrayed it. The Anglosphere media portrayed the problem in terms of Peter Hopkins The Great Game 1990 perspective, which is in gross error.

The real reason why the Soviets were in Afghanistan was to stop the Sunni vs Shia rivalry from spreading into the Southern Republics as it did in Chechnya and Dagestan.

Because of the "Warm water port" theory the US and the UK started training the Pashtun Mujahideen fighters in 1980. The combination of the CIA and SOF training the Pashtun tactically and people from the Arabian Peninsula building the Sunni Salafist/Wahhabist K-12 Madrassas and adult mosques is what became The Taliban.

Since the Aran Al Qaeda was involved in helping the CIA and SOF train the Pashtun while also indoctrinating them into Sunni Salafism and Wahhabism it changed the culture from a more moderate form of Islam to a more radical Form.

But it also turned the illiterate Pashtun's of the pre 1980s into a literate and militarily and politically organized movement that now seeks to "have more children" and "out vote" the Punjabs and Sindhs in Pakistan.

The ouster of Imran Khan by the US, even though he is incompetent, might be the trigger point of causing the Pashtun uprising where the Taliban not only have control of Afghanistan, but have control of Pakistan as well.

(Omitted: A side conversion that includes George slagging off his fellow analysts for telling the shot-callers what they want to hear in order to advance their careers, instead of doing their job of providing reliable intelligence, resulting in US specifically and Western generally being incompetent in this area of the world due to being willfully blind.)

The Indians have been referring to Imran Khan as "Imran 'the Taliban Can' Khan for about a decade now as he went from being president to Prime Minister.

WION did a few shows last year after Biden announced the US withdrawal explaining how Imran Khan talked as if he was a spokesman for the Taliban. He was that much of a Taliban apologist.

It is in that context, along with fiscal mismanagement that Daleep Singh et al pressured the ISI to remove Imran Khan as the US supported Shariff the younger.

So if you know that Imran Khan is a Pashtun Taliban apologist, then it is not difficult to anticipate that he would immediately go to the Taliban stronghold for support to get back into power. Especially since it has been taught in the madrassas and mosques that it is a matter of time to outbreed the Punjabs and Sindhs and win a "democratic" election. In the four decade period since the mass funding of the Sunni Salafist/Wahhabist mosques in the Wazirastans, FATAS/KPK I do believe the Pashtuns have way more than doubled their population. I think they have the majority now in Pakistan, just like they do in Afghanistan. That is why this was predictable that the US administration's ouster of Imran Khan would predictably backfire.

But since Pakistan is an English speaking society as well as Hindi/Urdo, many of the radical Islamists have youtube videos in the topic in English.

"Let the Koran speak" is such a channel off the top of my head. Once you start watching this genre of videos on youtube then the algorithms will make more suggestions.

Black Flag of the Khorasan is another channel. There are a bunch on this topic in their own words.

The Indians can listen in both English and Hindi/Urdu. Plus they no doubt have plenty of Pashto speakers as well and monitor the situation as best they can.

There are Indians on this chat and this is an ongoing discussion with them as the US keeps making the situation worse by trying to make things better.

And I don't want you to "believe me," I encourage everyone to double check my sources even though it sounds like I am assigning "homework."

I figure the more people doublecheck and share sources the more we can all share information and learn together.

In context, the Pakistan and Afghanistan policies of the US have backfired over a four decade period, the recent Daleep Singh visit to India last month backfired and pushed Modi closer to Putin instead, the Ukraine and Georgia gamble to take over the Russian and Caspian Sea country pipelines will backfire, and al together the number of "backfires" will eventually add up.

Okay, let's put all of this into context. First, a map.

Look at who is on Pakistan's boarders: China, India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Tajikistan. That's two of the BRICS countries (China and India), the heart of Shia Islam (Iran), and Russia's backyard (Tajikistan). This is geopolitically important territory.

Therefore it is no surprise that Western spooks, especially the CIA, have had a presence here since Pakistan emerged after Indian independence post-World War 2. The ISI is, for all intents and purposes, a CIA appendage installed locally as a backdoor should the government in Pakistan get ideas about slipping out from the yoke of Globohomo.

It is also no surprise that Russian and Chinese intelligence, as well as Indian and Iranian, have presences therein. This is part of the Great Game's traditional playing ground and as such anyone with regional or global ambitions has a presence here.

That Globohomo has managed to completely screw things up here does mean that other parties, who have their own reason to control Pakistan, have an opening to take control.

No, being wholly independent of external influence is not in the cards; the reality is that the Pakistani Establishment is too weak to eschew external parties exerting power and influence over them because those parties are necessary for the Establishment to maintain their own positions. It's the same situation a lot of 2nd and 3rd world states are in; you can, at best, keep competing blocs' influences in check to maintain autonomy by playing one against another- and Pakistan is too weak to do that.

Whatever becomes of Imran Khan's attempt to nullify his recent ejection from power, what is clear is that multiple imperial parties will be manuevering for advantage in this important region of the world- a scramble that will go unnoticed in most of the world due to attention being directed to Ukraine or Taiwan.

It's been almost 80 years since the end of World War 2 and the establishment of the Globohomo world order. That's Fourth Turning territory, meaning that this disruption is not trivial nor divorced from the larger trends of such changes. Couple this analysis with the impact of the Ukraine War on global supplies of food, fuel, medicines, and other vital goods and you have a situation ripe for spiraling out of control and escalating into a major regional or global crisis- even a war.

We're in Guns of August territory, folks, and chances are good that we already had our Franz Ferdinand moment. Empire falls.
