The latest episode of the podcast is up and running. This week, I start off by discussing the latest news from the SCOTUS, with the passing of Justice Ginsburg, and the likely ramifications thereof. I then segue into a topic that I mentioned in the Domain Query podcast from earlier in the week, looking at the likely identity of the historical Muhammad, the “prophet” of Islam.
Here’s the podcast, embedded below:
Also – listener Charlie Sun alerted me to the fact that my tracks do not show up at all in any RSS feeds for podcasting clients. He pointed me in the right direction to help fix this issue, and I’ve subsequently updated the settings in SoundCloud and also done a bulk edit on ALL existing tracks, both the weekly Didactic Mind and the infrequent Domain Query sets, so that they now show up in RSS feeds.
If you use a service like Podcast Addict or something similar, you should now be able to get access to all of my SoundCloud tracks and will automatically get an update once the latest ones are uploaded via the GetRSSFeed site – it will generate the XML code that you need for your podcasting client, and you’ll be off to the races.
Many thanks indeed to Charlie Sun for his very helpful warning and pointers to fix the issue.
As always, be sure to stop by Superb Shaving to support my work and pick up some great shaving products for a steal in the process.
I referenced a couple of videos in the podcast. Here they are embedded below if you’d like to watch them for yourself:

Razor’s statement about accountability is really the most important issue about politics. Nobody ever pays for careless mistakes and deliberate screw ups. Even if there is a conservative or whatever brand of right wing occupying that position, the Republicans will only win the battle but not the war.
Heck, even with another 4 years of Trump in the office, what will Americans do after his term is finished?
Indeed. The Founders tried desperately hard to create a system in which all of the various branches of the government would be accountable to each other, the States, and ultimately the People. But they failed to anticipate that their descendants would be dumb enough to bring in millions of outsiders who had no appreciation whatsoever for those carefully designed balances.
There is a lot to be said for the Spartan way of doing things. They had a similar system of government to what the US does today – multiple branches of government, each set against the other. But they ALSO had a system of secret police (Krypteia, I think) that was responsible for keeping tabs on the body politic – and possibly assassinating them if they attempted treasonous activity.
I suspect that it might well be time to bring something similar back into Western governments, except that such a thing is ABSOLUTELY subject to abuse and corruption, and that would make things infinitely worse.
I expect the USA to go up in flames between 2027 and 2033, regardless of who or what wins in 2024.
The Republican Party is going to become the White Party, thanks in large part to the God-Emperor. This is a Very Good Thing. Whites are now under siege in America, and even the God-Emperor has not been good at defending them. The Republicans, whether they like it or not (and they really don’t), will eventually move to support White interests and will likely become the governing party of a majority-White, majority-Christian nation that comes out of the wreckage of the Breaking.
Republicans are certainly more unified under Trump, so it will do him good while the Democrats are gutting their party belly up.
On another note, it seems that Joe Rogan’s move to Texas has also strengthened the more right wing states. He’s getting more views and far more engagement than cuckstream media so it’s a big deal economically and politically in the long run.
After America goes up in flames, do you think the next logical step is a divide between states? Technically, there is clear dividing line in politics, but severing ties from central government branches is a huge deal.
Does America actually need DEA, FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ and whatever alphabet soup the government will come up to control its population?
Yes, but only up to a point. The GOPe (i.e. the Establishment) absolutely hate his guts. The God-Emperor represents the single greatest existential threat that the Establishment has ever seen in their lifetimes.
The God-Emperor has spent the last 4 years fighting a multi-front war. The fact that he succeeded AT ALL, in anything, is incredible. The fact that he has accomplished so much by this point is simply staggering.
The problem with the exodus from places like Commiefornia is that it will result in liberal idiocy coming to states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada. Arizona is already a purple state – the populated metro areas are liberal and getting more liberal, and as they become every bit as retarded as the Commiefornian cities, people flee from them to the other counties, and the whole stupid cycle begins again. And Nevada is basically a blue state entirely because of Reno and Las Vegas.
The division is much more subtle than merely along state lines. Take a look at this map of the 2016 Presidential election, and this one of the 2018 midterms. What we are much more likely to see is a split between the cities and the country, and a further division along racial and cultural lines.
There are at least three, possibly four distinct nations occupying the geographical footprint of the USA right now, and they will reassert themselves with an absolute vengeance in the coming apocalypse. I expect at least two of them to be majority-White, and at least one of them will be strongly Christian and will likely make homosexuality, abortion, and Mohammedanism illegal.
Well indeed. The FBI, for instance, was originally a temporary agency setup to deal with Al Capone. It has long since outlived its usefulness and is now packed with active traitors against the American people.
