So much for that weekend, then – here too slowly, gone way too bloody fast. And it was an extremely eventful weekend, too. Late last night, we learned that a helicopter carrying the President of Iran, along with several other high muckety-mucks, “suffered a hard landing” somewhere in the mountains of eastern Azerbaijan. Today, we learned that it was a rather harder landing than anyone realised, because rescuers found the wreckage and confirmed there were no survivors at all.
It is too early to determine, as of yet, whether rogue elements of the Deep State – whether that be the American alphabet-soup agencies, or Israel’s Mossad or Shin Bet – had any part to play in this. As I pointed out to my Telegram subscribers, we cannot and must not rule out the possibility that the infamous Muzzie “Insha’allah” mentality, highly prevalent in the Shi’ite parts of the world in particular, resulted in piss-poor maintenance on an already old whirlybird, which then caused it to introduce itself to the side of a mountain a little too vigorously.
That mindset has to be seen to be believed, by the way. It is a mindset that says, “we will get there safely, if Allah wills it”. It is the same approach to things that results in people saying, “the bolts and lug-nuts on that helicopter rotor blade will stay in place if Allah wills it” – never mind that the helicopter design itself is ancient and needs regular and careful maintenance.
Iranians and Iraqis are truly the “sons of Mary”, from that great old Kipling poem:
They do not preach that their God will rouse them a little before the nuts work loose.
— from “The Sons of Martha” by Rudyard Kipling
They do not teach that His Pity allows them to leave their job when they damn-well choose.
As in the thronged and the lighted ways, so in the dark and the desert they stand,
Wary and watchful all their days that their brethrenโs days may be long in the land.
Anyway – since it IS Monday, and we cannot escape that fact, let us get on with today’s Great Mondaydact Browser Mulcher.
Today’s theme is all about a badly failed theory from about 50 years ago. Does anyone remember an entomologist (“bug freak”, in plain English) named Paul R. Ehrlich? He wrote a hugely influential book back in 1968 called The Population Bomb, in which he predicted a “Malthus Trap”, as it were, of a linear increase in resource availability but an exponential increase in human population.
I realise it is Monday, and this might require some translation. So, to put it as simply as I can:
Too many people, too little food.
In short, Dr. Ehrlich predicted mass starvation and ecological catastrophe. But, he turned out to be completely and totally wrong, on EVERY level.
Just how wrong he was, has now been revealed by people who specialise in actual forecasting, not merely in bugs. It turns out, the world is facing a population collapse, because – to put it perhaps a tad indelicately – people aren’t a-humpin’.
Here is a video from Triggernometry to explain it:
Another one from The Hoover Institution featuring one Nicholas Eberstadt:
The boys on Bill Whittle‘s show stuck their oar in as well:
Interestingly, they refuse to point to Russia’s pro-natalist policies, and the (limited) success the Neo-Tsar has had in turning around Russia’s (until recently) collapsing demographics. I suspect this is because, being right-wing Americans, they cannot bring themselves to admit that Russia actually has some idea what the hell it is doing, but that is their problem.
Here is another one from Two Bit da Vinci:
If nothing else, this should be a stern reminder that the single most important accomplishment you can ever have as a man, is to pass on your genes, and your wisdom and virtues, to the next generation.
The MGTOW crowd would have you believe that marriage and children are mistakes. I cannot disagree strongly enough. Children are the best things in life – they are, ultimately, the ONLY things that matter. So do not make the mistake that so many of us have made (self included) and wait until your later life to have kids.
Find a good woman. Make an honest one out of her. Pump her full of babies – plural – and have lots of fun doing it. And then raise them right, to become God-fearing men and women.
That, really, is the essence of a good and happy life.

Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain has some great stuff for us this week. We start with one from Solid jj on a battle between Superman and Brainiac:
An excellent video here from PsycHacks about not wasting your time on useless things โ and no, the irony is not lost upon me:
Honest Ads points out how most museums are full of stuff stolen from other people:
The natural counterpoint to this is, if the countries that had those things in the first place, had to keep them and preserve them, they wouldnโt be kept or preserved, because those cultures are generally EXTREMELY BAD at preserving things.
Thomas Sowell brings the truth JDAMs in a discussion about whether Amerikhastan is on the brink of collapsing, as Rome did:
America isnโt just the new Rome โ it is the new TURBO-Rome. The collapse of the FUSA is absolutely guaranteed. There is no escaping it now. And it is collapsing for many of the same reasons that Rome did โ but at Warp 10, vastly faster than Rome ever did.
The Roman civilisation lasted well over a thousand years, and continued on in modified form as the Byzantine Empire, speaking Greek rather than Latin. American civilisation, by contrast, barely survived 200 years โ it ended sometime around the 1960s, and has been on a downward track ever since.
Tina Huang โ new kid on the block, as it were โ explains the realities of AI:
Mind-Expanding Drugs
Valaritas takes a stab at explaining Alia Atreides โ who was actually a very complex character, particularly in Children of Dune, and a very tragic one as well:
Death Smiles At Us All…
Poli-Ticking Off
Mark Dice is rather baffled by NYFCโs way of choosing new lifeguards:
The fact that what โDestroโ Adams is saying, is WILDLY RACIST, by the very standards that liberaltards foist onto the rest of us, is of course not up for discussion among them.
The very-thoroughly-married couple at Redacted ALL got hit with a nasty bug over the weekend, but managed to get in some good reporting about the horrible assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:
Mr. Fico (pronounced FEE-tso โ Slavic name, โnuff sed) was almost certainly a direct target of a true Clown World attempt at prompting a colour revolution in a divided country. And that attempt very nearly succeeded. Fortunately, Mr. Ficoโs condition appears to have stabilised, and he seems to be on the road to recovery now.
But, he will never be the same again. Only time will tell if he continues to defy Clown World and do what is right, or if he will seek to become a โmoderateโ, out of fear.
If he is anything like St. Reagan Magnus of the Right, he will come out of this attempt with a firm moral conviction that he has been given a second chance by God, to do what is right, not what is easy. Let us hope and pray that is the case.
PJW is tickled pink at the thought of Brandon, who can barely construct a coherent sentence anymore, going toe-to-toe with Ornj Boi on the debate stage:
Rulings from the Bench
Judge Nap is back fro his trip to Italy, and evidently it agreed with him thoroughly. He has been stupidly busy this week, with lots of great commentary offered by the usual suspects. We start with Col. Douglas Macgregor, who talks about the reorganisation of the Russian Cabinet and the appointment of Andrei Belousov as Defence Minister:
LTC Tony Shaffer explains the stakes for NATO of a Russian victory โ which will almost certainly result in the outright, and long-overdue, collapse of the โdefensiveโ alliance:
Maj. Scott Ritter gets quite ranty and heated โ which is generally where I start tuning out with him โ on the subject of Israel:
Capt. Matthew Hoh discusses the weakness of NATO and its internal problems:
Alistair Crooke goes into detail about the emerging anti-Israeli axis within the Middle East โ not at the elite level, but at the popular one, which will inevitably and eventually translate into an intensely hostile set of Middle Eastern elites who will work to see Israel destroyed:
Larry Johnson & Ray McGovern provide the intel analystโs rational overview of a world gone mad:
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs is quite pessimistic about the way things are going in Banderastan and elsewhere:
ะะตะด ะกะฒะฐัะปะธะฒัะน ะะพะฒะพัะธั!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, and at some length, about the meaning of Belousovโs appointment as Defence Minister of Russia:
Polonium
Ania Konieczek talks to Andrei Martyanov about the very necessary cleansing of the Defence Ministry, which began under Shoigu and continues under Belousov:
Timeo Danaos Et Donna Ferentesโฆ
The good gentlemen of The Duran discuss the reorganisation โ it is incorrect to call it a โshake-upโ โ of the Russian government:
The Bald Truth
Brian Berletic of The New Atlas goes over the Russian incursion into Kharkov, and its strategic implications:
Mr. Berletic is not the most exciting analyst โ I often get bored watching his videos, if Iโm honest โ but he does raise some good points about the reality of Russiaโs offensive into Kharkov Oblastโ. The Russians are not, AT THE MOMENT, looking to take Kharkov City itself โ The Putin said as much. They are, however, looking to overstretch, and compromise the integrity of, Ukrainian forces in the region. They are succeeding. All they need to do now is to punch through in Sumy region (again), and they will probably stretch Ukraineโs forces beyond breaking point.
Bad Medicine
Dr. John Campbell is very, VERY unhappy about the latest revelations on the Moderna poison death shot:
Dr. Suneel Dhand discusses werewolves โ well, not really, but itโs a funny stretch:
Warriors of Faith
Tha Dizzle references the Crazy Christ in a discussion about why atheism doesnโt make sense โ not a great start, I admit, but given DaWood is himself a diagnosed psychopath, and a former militant atheist, who found his way back to God and is hugely successful in his ministry, Iโm willing to forgive him that blunder:
Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms and Al-Fadi from CIRA International explain how the Koran cannot possibly have originated from Mecca:
Christian Prince points out the extreme racism in the Koran and the Sunnah:
Sam Shamoun smacks it straight out of the park during a discussion with a Muslim about violence in the Bible:

Islam Critiqued looks at the begging and borrowing the Muzzies did to construct their very silly book:
Manly Men of Manliness
Terrence Popp gives some serious and timely life advice to a young man wondering whether he should seek out his estranged father:
Personally, unless the father somehow physically or emotionally (or, worst of all, sexually) abused the child, I believe every child from a broken marriage should seek out his or her father and seek reconciliation. Most fathers who go through a divorce, never raised a hand to their children, and are literally dying to meet their kids and be a part of their lives again. The wretched and evil family court system strips them of their rights as men and fathers, and many of them spend their entire lives in quiet despair.
Joker from Better Bachelor is greatly amused by dating app Bumbleโs attempts to save itself from the coming AIpocalypse:
Man Talks provides a compilation of WAMMENZES posting their own epic Ls:
The first girl is that Australian chick who banged one person a day (sometimes more) for an entire year. She now has a body-count, by her own admission, of OVER 500 (and, apparently, not just men).
I have written in the past about a former prostitute who claimed to have slept with over 10,000 men, and who, at the age of 35 (back then), looked like she was 50. This kind of behaviour has terrible negative long-term consequences, and the women who engage in it are severely psychologically damaged โ traumatised, even. It is not healthy behaviour, and it is a real sign of how badly Western society has fallen away from that which is good and true, that people celebrate this insanity, instead of condemning it.
So I WILL condemn it.
Such a woman is a whore, and deserves to be treated as one.
hoe_math does the MAFF on a SIMP โ a really big one:

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, via SciTech Daily, and looks at what a black hole would actually โlookโ like, as it were:
Your long read of the week is from Dawn Pine also, and is a piece from Gadi Taub about how ex-IDF CinC Benny Gantz is (apparently) holding the Israeli government hostage:
The U.S. is not protecting Israel from the kangaroo courts in The Hague which now threaten to issue arrest warrants against Netanyahu and others. Instead, it is goosing those warrants, in part by itself threatening to impose sanctions on a unit of the IDF, thus subverting the chain of command and pressuring IDF units to comply with American demands rather than with orders from their superiors. At one point, Secretary of State Blinken outrageously asked for a one-on-one meeting with IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi (he was refused), treating the commander of Israelโs armed forces as if he was answerable to a delegate of a foreign power.
Meanwhile, the entire Democratic Party apparatus from Joe Biden on down has continued directly attacking Netanyahu in the harshest, most personal and demeaning terms, publicly proclaiming their contempt for Israelโs wartime leader. Biden called Israelโs elected prime minister โa bad fucking guy,โ while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer went so far as to explain to Israelis they made the wrong choice in their elections. Senior Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler went Schumer one step better, proclaiming Netanyahu to be the worst Jewish leader in โ2,000 yearsโโi.e., in the period since Herod.
The White House appears to be pushing prominent Jewish Democrats to attack Israelโs prime minister in order to avoid charges of being โanti-Israelโ or โantisemiticโโa charge that could damage Democrats in key states like Florida, Arizona, and Michigan as Jewish voters see their children pushed off campuses by a combination of anti-Jewish DEI bureaucrats and pro-Hamas mobs. But itโs not hard to see through this ploy. In fact, the White House has its own proxy mobs of demonstrators inside Israel, which it regularly encourages to take to the streets at key moments. According to the leaders of the Never-Bibi demonstrators, the White House is in constant touch with them for coordination.
What all of these shockingly openly subversive moves against a key U.S. military ally have so far not produced is the desired resultโa subservient government run by the would-be King Benny. The American candidate for the Herodian role kept straying from the script (which is reportedly why he was summoned to Washington to be reprimanded).
There were reasons for his straying, though. Whenever the attack on Israelโs sovereignty, democracy, or even on Netanyahu personally, became too blunt, Gantz who understands his electorate well enough, rallied to defend Israelโs sovereignty and our right to choose our own government. This is not because Gantz has given up on replacing Netanyahu: Itโs just that he knows he cannot win an election in Israel by appearing to join the U.S. in attacking Israelโs most vital interests or in undermining our independence. Most importantly, any attempt to topple Netanyahu in the name of imposing a two-state solution is bound to backfire, especially with the post-Oct. 7 Israeli electorate.

Right, here is your Instathot to get the week off to a suitably absurd start โ and this one IS absurd. Here is Angelina Brezhenskaya (ะะฝะณะตะปะธะฝะฐ ะัะตะถะตะฝัะบะฐั), age 24 from Saratov, Mordor โ uh, Russia. She is a model, TV presenter, and fashion designer, who apparently is Miss Moscow 2023 โ I am not, however, going to claim she is a great representative for Muscovite womanhood. She is definitely at least 20% plastic โ and has admitted openly to using โassistanceโ to achieve her looks, such as they are.
OK, thatโs all for now, lads, back to work.

The zoomer girl who’s working the nepotism job at the steel factory is simultaneously heartwarming with how well she and her father get along and heart breaking with how much she craves external attention. Gen z was dealt a bad hand.
