Here we go with another Monday. This one, though, is rather unusual, as it is Halloween today – which means, of course, the inevitable parade of children trooping outside of your house, dressed up as superheroes and cartoon characters, begging for candy. Good for them. It’s cute, it’s funny, and it’s actually kind of charming.
Keep in mind, however, that Halloween has some unusual origins:
I’ve heard people argue that this night originated from a deal struck between Constantine and the pagans that he ruled over in the western Roman Empire, wherein they were allowed to keep their ancient customs of dressing up as ghosts and monsters to scare away evil spirits, in return for the dominion of a Christian power. I tend to discount this view, but I can sort of see where it comes from.
This whole month is all about scary movies, too, because this is kind of the season for that sort of thing. So let’s kick off with a few trailers for those movies:
Of course, Halloween is not all fun and games and really stupid movies. There IS a real spiritual element associated with Halloween, and we must NEVER ignore it.
This site is by a Christian man (not a good one, mind you), for Christian men. As such, we tell the truth about real evil around here, and we don’t try to sugarcoat the realities of the spirit realm.
You need to keep in mind that there IS, in fact, real evil in the world, and there ARE people who seek to call that shit down into our world. Here is the testimony of a woman who used to be a witch – yes, such people were and are real – in which she explains exactly why this particular night is so important, and dangerous, in the spirit realm:
Take it from a Christian: DO NOT screw around with the occult. You will lose your mind, and then you will lose your soul, and then you will have nothing left. There is no way back from that until and unless you give your life to Jesus – only He has the power to restore life to those who are already dead. If you steep yourself in the occult, YOU. WILL. DIE.
Keep your garments clean. Stay away from the occult and from the evil spirits of that realm. Understand that you, as a Christian, weild power and authority over daemons and spirits through the Holy Spirit itself, through the name of Jesus Christ. It is a name that enrages and terrifies daemons, because they literally have no power against it.
Which is why, if you utter the name of Jesus in most “polite” social circles today, people will physically recoil from you. That’s when you know that you are in the midst of evil.

Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain has plenty of good stuff for us this week. We start with a video from a channel called The Royal Ocean Film Society about a serious problem afflicting modern cinematography:
This is what happens when visual effects become completely overused, which is precisely what is happening now. Audiences come to the movies to be wowed and entertained. Visual effects give them that wow factor. Yet, audiences have grown tired of that, and are now no longer interested in paying for all but the most over-the-top visual spectaculars. So, inevitably, studios dump ever more money into ever fewer films that get ever bigger and more ridiculous.
That also helps explain the runaway success of Top Gun Maverick – because that is a movie which used practical effects wherever possible. The actors were actually in aircraft while being dumped into extremely difficult high-G manoeuvres. The film scenes looked REAL, because they WERE real.
The Babylon Bee continues their epic and hilarious series showing what happens when Commiefornians move to Texas:

China Uncensored tries to unpack one of the most widely distributed clips from the recent CPC congress, where former Party Chairman Hu Jintao was rather unceremoniously escorted out of the building:
This has been all over TEH INNARWEBZ, both inside and outside of China. Lots of people are wondering what the heck happened. Mercouris and others argue that this is simply a case of a sick and disoriented old man being escorted out of the building for the sake of his own health. Others reckon that this was highly symbolic, and amounted to a purging of the pro-Western faction from the ranks of the CPC.
Who is right? Hu knows…

This is nothing more than an attempt to move Twatter out of the Batshit Insane Globalist Left to the Sane Mildly Moderate Globalist Left. It’s still a globalist platform, nothing more.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from The Male Brain is genuinely quite weird, and concerns the possibilities of quantum entanglement when related to the human brain:
Recent proposals in quantum gravity have suggested that unknown systems can mediate entanglement between two known quantum systems, if the mediator itself is non-classical. This approach may be applicable to the brain, where speculations about quantum operations in consciousness and cognition have a long history. Proton spins of bulk water, which most likely interfere with any brain function, can act as the known quantum systems. If an unknown mediator exists, then NMR methods based on multiple quantum coherence (MQC) can act as an entanglement witness. However, there are doubts that today’s NMR signals can contain quantum correlations in general, and specifically in the brain environment. Here, we used a witness protocol based on zero quantum coherence (ZQC) where we minimized the classical signals to circumvent the NMR detection limits for quantum correlation. For short repetitive periods, we found evoked signals in most parts of the brain, whereby the temporal appearance resembled heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs). We found that those signals had no correlates with any classical NMR contrast. Similar to HEPs, the evoked signal depended on conscious awareness. Consciousness-related or electrophysiological signals are unknown in NMR. Remarkably, these signals only appeared if the local properties of the magnetization were reduced. Our findings suggest that we may have witnessed entanglement mediated by consciousness-related brain functions. Those brain functions must then operate non-classically, which would mean that consciousness is non-classical.
Dawn Pine helpfully provided a link that explains the concept in layman’s terms:
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin believe our brains could use quantum computation. Their discovery comes after they adapted an idea developed to prove the existence of quantum gravity to explore the human brain and its workings.
The brain functions measured were also correlated to short-term memory performance and conscious awareness, suggesting quantum processes are also part of cognitive and conscious brain functions.
If the team’s results can be confirmed—likely requiring advanced multidisciplinary approaches—they would enhance our general understanding of how the brain works and potentially how it can be maintained or even healed. They may also help find innovative technologies and build even more advanced quantum computers.
Dr. Christian Kerskens, lead physicist at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience (TCIN), is the co-author of the research article that has just been published in the Journal of Physics Communications. He said, “We adapted an idea, developed for experiments to prove the existence of quantum gravity, whereby you take known quantum systems, which interact with an unknown system. If the known systems entangle, then the unknown must be a quantum system, too. It circumvents the difficulties to find measuring devices for something we know nothing about.
Soooo basically your brain might be useful for creating unhackable lighting fast quantum computing applications.
Your long read of the week is part of a series by Francis Lee, writing for The Saker, in which he reflects upon the causes and consequences of the 2014 Maidan coup – or the “Revolution of Dignity”, as the hohols for some reason insist on calling it:
The collapse of communism in the Soviet Union in 1990/91 and the touted ending of the Cold War, saw the imposition of a virtual Treaty of Versailles on Russia under the puppet dictator and buffoon, Boris Yeltsin. Russia, like Germany in 1919, was to be kept down, humiliated, and have its nose rubbed into its new status at every opportunity. Moreover, its economy was almost destroyed by the economic shock therapy imposed by the IMF/World Bank, under the tutelage of one Jeffrey Sachs. The various ex-Warsaw Pact states – Poland, Hungary, DDR, the Baltics, Czech Republic – were drawn into the EU and then NATO. NATO itself was expanded rather than wound down.
This was an interesting development since the EU’s foreign policy orientation underwent a profound change (its economic policies had already changed – for the worse). Initially the EU was supposed to be a third force standing between American capitalism, and Soviet communism. This at least is how De Gaulle saw it: non-aligned with an independent foreign policy akin perhaps to Yugoslavia under Tito. Additionally, the policy outlined by Jacques Delors was one of managed capitalism of the Germany sozialemark- twirtschaft variety and French etatisme seemed more attractive than the deregulated, financialized systems of the US and UK.
As things unfolded, however, the Delors’ model was discarded, and a neo-liberal regime foisted upon European regardless. The drive to the east meant that EU widening prevented the type of EU deepening that De Gaulle and Delors had had in mind. But now foreign policy was also to become Americanized. The UK, of course had always been incorrigibly Atlanticist, but it would have been safe to assume that continental powers – particularly France – would be less so. After denouncing the Iraq War – along with Russia and Germany – France now (under a socialist government!) was actually front-running US imperialism (let’s call it what it is) and taking the initiative in regime change operations in Libya, Mali and almost Syria.
Thus, we now have a situation whereby the EU has effectively become the spearhead of US operations of subversion and regime change (in the name of enlargement) in driving east into Europe right up to the Russian frontier. In the case of Romania US missiles have already been installed, and the plan is for a broader deployment throughout Europe. Europe apparently has a neo-con foreign policy to complement its neo-liberal economic policy.
Linkage is good for you:
- The Russian Su-57 may have registered its first air-to-air kill in Banderastan, with an ultra-long-range shootdown of a Ukrop Su-27 – this puts the West on serious notice about their lack of air superiority;
- Maj. Scott Ritter examines the truth and lies behind the whole notion of a Ukrainian “dirty bomb”, and whether it is a genuine matter of concern (hint: IT BLOODY WELL IS);
- Col. Douglas Macgregor has some very harsh words for the sheer stupidity coming out of the mouth of one David Petraeus, the not-actually-very-capable former head of the CIA and former leader of US troops in the Sandbox;
- The Russian Duma is considering legislation to ban all LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT propaganda of any kind in the country, not just for children – I’m telling you, Russian citizenship is looking better every single day;
- Mike Whitney takes a look at the old Western plans to break up and thereby cannibalise Russia after the fall of the USSR, and they are every bit as perfidious and terrible as you might imagine;
- David Sant wonders if the collective West is genuinely insane and desperate enough to think about attacking Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria, the breakaway region of Moldova that has been under Russian control since 1994;
- Daniel Greenfield unpacks the rather disturbing wizard’s new wheeze that Goolag is cooking up behind the scenes – an AI that curates search results based on what Google wants you to know;
- Mark Gullick is both amused and horrified by the sheer incompetence and incoherence of the “Conservative” government that is supposedly in charge of things over in PommieBastardLande;
- Larry Johnson takes a break from unpacking and analysing the Banderastan War to look at whether or not the PFYZOR not-vaxx is actually dangerous to people (spoiler: IT REALLY BLOODY IS);
- While you weren’t looking, PayPal quietly reinstated their “helpful” policy of helping themselves to US$2,500 every time you say something on social media that they don’t like;
- Dan Wootton is thoroughly unimpressed by Harry the Ginger Whinger‘s insistence on publishing a new whiny tell-all memoir about what life is like as “the spare”, which is both idiotic and crass beyond belief;
- A woman who waited WAY too long to get knocked up now realises that having a baby late in life isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be – which she would have figured out if she hadn’t let her eggs go rotten;
- The most famous PoundMeToo case in Australia (where EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!!!) ends in chaos, because the entire thing was absurd to begin with;
- Proving Chateau Heartiste right yet again, a woman pulled the pin on her marriage for the sake of tingles caused by some random dude on a couples’ holiday, and that really didn’t end well;
And some more from Dawn Pine:
- Princess Caringslut – the Ginger Whinger’s even more annoying other half – reckons that Deal or No Deal treated her like a bimbo, to which all we can say is, “takes one to know one” – and her former co-hosts vehemently disagree with her;
- The Replication Crisis in science continues to be a very severe issue, with numerous papers now being retracted due to reliance on ONE biased and unscrupulous reviewer;
- Related to that story about Moldova above, apparently a solid 90% of that country’s military equipment is seriously outdated, harking back to Soviet times, which is entirely unsurprising to anyone who knows about the region;
- If you’ve ever wondered what a successful Beta male looks like, then look no further than Matthew Perry in his salad days on Friends, when he dated (and presumably banged) Julia Roberts herself;
- Yet again, the Bible proves itself to be an historically accurate document – the latest advances in linking archaeology and magnetology reveal that the Bible got major conflicts in 1st and 2nd Kings chronologically right;
- We’re so deep into Clown World that men are now demanding their successful women should pay for their studies, rather than for sensible things like downpayments on houses;
- Not content with claiming that Russians are running out of microchips for their missiles, Swedish (((media)))))))))))) now claim that those damned ROOSKEES!!! are stealing their speed cameras for their spotter drones;
- The great Ilana Mercer discusses whether it makes sense to end the all-white, all-male cockpit by making pilots more diverse, inclusive, and equal – hint, there is a REASON why the acronym spells DIE;
- Meanwhile, Floriduh Teen has managed to capture 28 pythons and received a prize for his efforts in raising awareness about an invasive and dangerous species – why does all the weird shit happen in FLORIDA?!?!?!;
- Of course, Florida ain’t a completely crazy place – FLGov Ron DeSantis, almost surely a future POTUS if the USSA lasts that long, has made it VERY clear that no not-vaxx mandates will be issued for children;
- If you have loads of info sitting around on old floppy discs – some of you might be too old to remember the old 5-inch and 3.1-inch floppy discs – and CDs, then there is a program out there which will help you retrieve the data;
MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOZHUN!!!

And the Buakawminator is nothing short of a knockout artist, even in his “old age” – he’s only a few years older than me, actually.

Didact,
Great Monday collection, as usual.
This video with the ex-witch about Halloween night is compelling. I am skeptical of these reformed types. But her lack of ‘BELIEVE ME BECAUSE I’M EARNEST’ attitude is captivating, and the repentance that she carries in her regret is truthful. Excellent share.
“Who is right? Hu knows…”
In honor of halloween…boooooooo…
