“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning Maydays

by | May 1, 2023 | Mondays | 2 comments

It really just does not matter how long the weekend is – Monday always comes along to pee in the punchbowl. If, like most of the world, May 1st is a holiday for you, then today isn’t so bad – but if you are in Amerikhastan, it isn’t one, as far as I know. So, y’know, sucks to be you, I suppose.

Since it IS Monday, though, let’s get this day off to a suitably downbeat start with the Great Mondaydact Browser Peeler.

This week, we bring back an aviation channel that we haven’t featured for a while – Mentour Pilot, which has great videos about various aviation disasters (among other things). Here are a few videos to kick things off:


The Mighty God-Emperor

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, offers up some typically pointed thoughts about the recent announcement that Grandpa Fake President will run again:

Let’s be really clear about this – the Daemoncrats will pull out EVERY POSSIBLE DIRTY TRICK IN THE BOOK to get their walking corpse reelected. The God-Emperor should have crossed the Rubicon in summer 2020 – he could not, as it turns out, because the entirety of the military establishment bucked him and refused to follow his orders. (In common English, we understand this as “Treason”.)

Even if Trump wins – which I consider impossible at this point – he will not be able to stop the final collapse of the USSA. At this point, God’s judgement is upon America, and the USSA thoroughly deserves the arse-kicking it is about to receive.


#BasedTucker is Based

Just before FAUX News fired him (and thereby threw themselves off an 80-storey building), #BasedTucker gave a barn-burner of a speech at The Heritage Foundation:


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has assembled some great stuff for us to start off the month. We begin with an excellent video from Second Thought about the realities of propaganda – and, no matter HOW red-pilled you are, the fact is, you are NOT immune to it:

ะ”ะตะด ะกะฒะฐั€ะปะธะฒั‹ะน ะ“ะพะฒะพั€ะธั‚!

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the realities of the new Russian naval doctrine, and the sheer power of the modern Russian Navy – which is EASILY a contender for the best in the world in many respects, especially with regard to submarines:


Itโ€™s All Greek To Us

The good gentlemen ofย The Duran talk Turkey – and other things:


China Syndrome

China Uncensored reckons the CPC are trying to engineer their own Commie version of ChatGPT:

Ironically, given how hopelessly woke ChatGPT is – I know this for a fact, having used it myself to ask “uncomfortable” questions about sexuality, race, and other things – I suspect ChatCPC will almost certainly be a far more reliable and honest chatbot than anything the West can come up with.

I intensely dislike Communists – my sentiments about them can most easily be summed up with this image:

… but I will be the first to point out that the CPC is not actually Communist, not anymore, and has not been for decades. They are a far more legitimate government than anything the West has, that is for sure.


Winston Sterzel aka serpentza reckons the safety wreckord (see what I did there?) of Chinese EVs leaves much to be desired:


Digging to China tries to unpack China’s Q1 GDP data:


The Bald Truth

Brian Berletic of The New Atlas notes that Russia “will fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air” – props to the first one to identify the source of that quote in the comments:


Rulings from the Bench

Judge Andrew Napolitano continues to assemble perhaps the best grouping of talking heads and experts anywhere on TEH YOOTOOBZ! every week for geopolitical and economic analysis and discussion, especially as it relates to World War III. We start with, of course, Col. Douglas Macgregor:

And LTC Tony Shaffer:

Let’s not forget Maj. Scot Ritter:

Larry Johnson speaks for the sane people left within the CIA:

So does his older comrade, Ray McGovern:

Warriors of Faith

Fr. Theodore, a priest from the Georgian Orthodox Church, explains the true meaning of Christianity, as an inversion of religion, and why Christianity is therefore the only true path back to God:

Tha Dizzle and his friends, Mike Jones of Inspiring Philosophy, The Apostate Prophet, and Derek from Mythvision, review the utter TRAIN WRECK which was the debate with Izzlamic dawahgandist Daniel Haqiqatjou:

Daniel The Pikachu beclowned himself so completely and thoroughly that Muslims all over the world have been writing into shows like the livestream above, telling them that this idiot does not speak for them and is a terrible representative of Islam.

Of course, Islam in general is an appalling mix of violence, lust, stupidity, historical inaccuracy, and self-contradiction, so it isn’t actually that hard to make Izzlamists look bad. But, Izzlam’s own strongest “apologists” actually do our job for us, in general, and it is great fun to watch.


Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms explains a key problem with the Hajj:


Al-Fadi from CIRA International and Dr. Jay Smith examine more closely the manner by which early Izzlamists constructed the Koran:

Joker from Better Bachelor looks at Steven Crowder‘s divorce, and offers up a MGTOW spin on it:

Unfortunately, this does not present the full set of facts surrounding Crowder’s implosion. There is more to the story, and Mark Dice presents footage from Crowder’s own home which paints him in an EXTREMELY poor light:


Rich Cooper has absolutely no patience for the nonsense peddled by one Kornelija Slunjski, aka “kokobeaute”, originally from Croatia (you can tell from her looks and accent that she is Slavic, but you won’t know where she is actually from until you see her name):

Rich is correct. To riff on the immortal (and sorely missed) Chateau Heartiste – men value youth and beauty, women value wealth and power. The rest is merely commentary.


Burn Paedowood to the Ground

Midnight’s Edge ridicule Netherflix’s absurd attempts to rewrite history:

Cleopatra was a descendent of Alexander the Great‘s MACEDONIAN GENERAL, Ptolemy. The Ptolemaic dynasty was Hellenic through and through. Her parents were Greek. So Cleo herself was, WITHOUT QUESTION, a White woman.

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and concerns the reasons why future alien first contact will almost certainly be with alien AIs, not actual life-forms:

Letโ€™s look at the life spans of some species on Earth. Humans live about 80 years, on average, which is much longer than most animals. Dogs have a life span of only 10 to 13 years, parrots about 50 years. Even the African elephant lives only 60 to 70 years. Some animals like turtles, whales, or certain fish reach 200 years of age or more. But these are exceptions. Life expectancy for nearly all species on our planet is under 100 years.

And itโ€™s not like our bodies perform at peak capacity for that entire span. In the case of humans, we should probably discount the first 20 years or so, during which our capabilities are still developing, and the last 20 years of aging. Prime time for humans is no more than 40 or 60 years, even in the best-case scenario.

Now consider the realities of interstellar travel. To reach other solar systems, current thinking is that weโ€™ll need to build light sails that can reach maybe ten percent of the speed of light. That gets us to Alpha Centauri in 40 years or so โ€” an entire adult human lifespan. And thatโ€™s just one-way. Most astronauts would want to return home after visiting another solar system, but without some kind of time dilation or other exotic physics, that would be out of the question.

Even if we could reach 80 percent of light velocity with some advanced propulsion system, round trips within a single adult lifetime would be possible only for planets a mere 24 light-years away, not accounting for any time spent exploring the planet. Speculative, faster-than-light travel would help some, but not as much as you might think. Any way you slice it, travel through interstellar space would still be extremely long, dangerous (asteroids! radiation!) and exceedingly boring for any biological organism, even if some freezing technology could be invented to stop aging during the trip. The same logic applies to any intelligent aliens wanting to visit us.


Yourย long read of the week is a VERY long article from Ron Unz about the rise of the neoclowns and their grip on power:

The aftermath of the Vietnam War and Watergate dominated the 1970s with the overwhelming majority of influential American publications and the intellectual elites who followed them skewing liberal or even radical in their political orientation. National Review had already spent many years as the lodestar of the conservative movement and many Republicans, but the overwhelming majority of the contributors and readers of Commentary were Democrats or even Socialists, and it had recently been very influential in such circles, so it could easily draw in the sort of disgruntled Democrats who might have dismissed Buckleyโ€™s publication out of hand. Thoughtful conservatives hoped to broaden the intellectual reach of their growing political coalition and they recognized how valuable Commentary might be in assisting that project. In a famous 1979 example, the magazine had published โ€œDictatorships and Double Standardsโ€ authored by a conservative Democratic academic named Jeane Kirkpatrick, an article that brought her to the attention of Ronald Reagan, who named her his U.N. Ambassador after he reached the White House.

During the Reagan Administration of the 1980s, Neocons often spearheaded such foreign policy projects and these began overshadowing the domestic social issues that had once dominated the movement. This was partly because Reagan proved much more successful at implementing the former than the latter, with Congress passing his large military buildup against the Soviets even as his efforts to roll back affirmative action, bilingual education, or multiculturalism languished.

Furthermore, some of the earliest neoconservative figures who had focused on domestic matters gradually disassociated themselves for a variety of reasons. Bell had long rejected the claim that he was any sort of conservative, neo or otherwise. Moynihan had won a New York U.S. Senate seat as a Democrat in 1976, becoming an influential figure in that party, but being subject to different ideological pressures he then became a fierce critic of the Reaganite foreign policy promoted by his erstwhile allies and proteges. Glazer, a mild-mannered academic scholar, also retreated from some of his earlier views, eventually even publishing a book entitled We Are All Multiculturalists Now.

So an ideological movement that had once consisted of moderate social scientists became much more strongly identified with fiercely hawkish militarists preoccupied with Israel, the Middle East, and the Cold War struggle against the Soviet Union. This transformation was gradual enough and the overlap in personnel and beliefs sufficiently strong that the original name continued in use and those underlying shifts received little public attention. However, Iโ€™ve always regarded the changes as so dramatic that I usually refer to Bell, Moynihan, Glazer, and others of their ilk as Elder Neocons in order to clearly distinguish them from their very different political heirs.

The Neocons had possessed no significant popular base and they originally entered the conservative movement as a small group of refugees from a Democratic party that had become too radical for their taste. But many of them proved far more skillful in their organizational infighting than the existing conservatives they encountered and they also possessed much better connections with leading media circles. As a consequence, they steadily expanded their role and during the Reagan era of the 1980s they gained disproportionate influence across the key nodes of the rising conservative movement. Such growing power and authority was often resented by their traditionalist rivals, who had toiled for decades in building American conservatism only to find that many of the fruits of their victory under Reagan were now usurped by Neocon newcomers, who had spent most of those same years on the other side of the barricades. But Neocon control over publications, thinktanks, foundations, and government appointments still steadily increased during the 1980s and into the 1990s. Paul Gottfriedโ€™s 1988 book updated in 1993 devoted several chapters to this conflict within the conservative movement, with Gottfried himself having coined the term โ€œpaleoconservativeโ€ to categorize his own more traditional conservative intellectuals, sometimes pushed aside by their sharp-elbowed Neocon rivals.

During these political struggles with rival conservative factions, the Neocons became noted for their ruthlessness and the effectiveness of their organization, which allowed them to gain ground against opponents who generally had views much closer to those of the movementโ€™s own activists and voters. One important political advantage the Neocons possessed was that outside a fairly restricted range of issuesโ€”especially in foreign policyโ€” they were usually quite moderate and mainstream in their views, thus having a cultural background and set of beliefs very similar to those of the powerful and (generally liberal) mainstream media, which they often successfully enlisted in their conservative factional struggles.

  1. furor kek tonicus ( when asked to choose between Ginger or MaryAnn, i always say, "Lovey". with a nickname like that, she obviously knows what she's doing )

    i’m a simple man. i see CoC, i click CoC. it’s no ‘Vote With A Bullet’, but it’ll do.
    .
    regards Crowder:
    a – i’m not entirely unsympathetic to the idea that the wife may well have been setting him up
    b – regardless, Steven is the one who chose to behave like a ridiculous, self obsessed and diagnosable Narcissist
    c – as with William Buckley, i’ve never been particularly impressed with Crowder. he has that one halfway decent meme but that’s mighty thin gruel for a man who’s been on the scene for a decade
    .
    i can pick through his absurd “arguments” if you like but i would hope that most here would be capable of identifying his gross and boorish behavior.
