Monday is here again to blight us all with unhappiness and misery as we contemplate yet another long and dreary working week. For my American readers, of course, it is not so bad, because they get to celebrate National Turkey and Food Coma Day – also known as “Thanksgiving” – this Thursday, but the rest of us are less fortunate.
That, of course, is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Stuffer is here. So let us carry on with making the day and week less miserable, with a heaping helping of awesomeness.
Do y’all remember back when TOP GEAR was the world’s biggest TV show? It achieved that status with good reason – because it was basically a show about three middle-aged best friends falling over and breaking things. Something about that show was always absolutely universal – the fact that the show involved Big Boyz Toyz, in the form of extraordinarily powerful cars, was just sort of the cherry on top of the sundae.
TOP GEAR had many wonderful things going for it – but the challenges were a big part of the reason why we all tuned in. And, finally, belatedly, the Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation has put together a truly EPIC compilation of the best ones for us all to watch. (This, of course, nearly 10 years after ruining the show by first firing Jezza – on, I will admit, largely justified grounds – and then turning the show into a watered-down and completely lame sanitised version of what it used to be.)
Let us get this Monday off to an appropriately ridiculous start, by watching the Three Wazzateers performing the craziest and most over-the-top challenges you have ever seen:
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,

Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain has lots of content for us to consume today and throughout the week. We start with one from The Babylon Bee, which would be satire in any other timeline except the Clown World one we live in today:
Sargon of Akkad, aka Carl Benjamin, has long been absent from these pages – let’s fix that now. Here he is, explaining what the heck the “4B” movement actually is:
As Sargon points out, the underlying philosophy of the 4B movement is the same idiocy as that which Lysistrata mocked and satirised so effectively.
How Money Works looks at the mass psychology of the stock market:
Karyn (yes, really) from The Happy Wife School – which is actually a genuinely excellent channel for red-pilling women – talks about the sad and depressing difference between dating and marriage:
Felix Rex, aka Black Pigeon Speaks, examines the growing Japanese backlash against furrin (or, as they would call it, gai-jin) stupidity:
In fact, the Japanese are some of the most racist people in the world – because the Japs understand perfectly damned well that, to maintain a high level of civilisation, you HAVE to recognise who “the others” are, and you HAVE to keep them OUT of your walled garden.
That is why they – and the Koreans, and the Han Chinese – intensely dislike Blacks and Indians, and look down upon them as smelly and uncivilised.
It is not fair, and it is not kind or polite, at all. But it DOES work.
The broader lesson is simple:
Civilisation is racism.
If you do not believe me, then I invite you to look back at the history of literally every great civilisation, EVER, and examine how they dealt with foreigners who were not part of the “ethnos” of the host civilisation. (Hint: NOT KINDLY.)
Moving on – let’s have a comic turn, with Your_Kryptonite7 looking at what could happen with Mr. Bean in The Matrix:
You know what?
Rowan Atkinson probably COULD have done a phenomenal job playing a serious role in The Matrix. He is actually a BRILLIANT actor – and has a towering intellect, to boot.
Mind-Expanding Drugs
Brian Holdsworth puts forth a very different perspective on the Crusades than the one you probably learned in SKOOL:
Also, from The Male Brain, we have one from PhiloNautica, which examines how people can get ahead by playing dumb:
This is straight from The 48 Laws of Power – one of which says that you can make yourself a master of others, by pretending to be inferior to them.
Death Smiles At Us All…
Poli-Ticking Off
Mark Dice is probably going to explode his arteries from all the popcorn he is consuming, watching liberaltards turn on each other and absolutely melt down over the Trumpasaur’s epic victory:
Clayton Morris at Redacted had a very long and thoughtful chat with his old friend, #BasedTucker, on a wide range of subjects:
PJW tries (and fails) to understand what the hell Jaguar were thinking with their rebranding:
Lord Razor of the Fist Clan discusses – as only he can – how the Fake President is desperately trying to scrape together some kind of redemption in his last few days in office, by taking us right up to the edge of global thermonuclear WAR:
Judge’s Ruling
Judge Nap discusses the Russian use of the “Oreshnik” missile system with Maj. Scott Ritter – who has a rather unique perspective on the subject of Russian ballistic weapons systems, having overseen and actively participated in the decommissioning of the USSR’s intermediate-range nuclear missiles, back in the 1980s:
Дед Сварливый Говорит!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the true meaning of “Oreshnik”:
He is correct to consider the use of this new IRCW missile a game-changer. It really is. The strategic implications of it all are truly, literally, earth-shattering.
Timeo Danaos Et Donna Ferentes…
The good gentlemen of The Duran were able to sit down together in Budapest, of all places, and discuss the impact of “Oreshnik”:
Bad Medicine
Dr. John Campbell looks at the possibility of a new treatment for cancer – well, SOME KINDS of cancer:
Dr. Suneel Dhand has some not-very-nice words for organised medicine:

Tha Dizzle points out the rather serious problems with Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit’s ability to prove his bona fides to the Jews and Christians of the region:
Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms talks to Pastor James Kaddis about the inevitability of violence within Izzlam:
Al-Fadi from CIRA International talks to Mike Jones from Inspiring Philosophy about the awful consequences of polygamy, particularly within an Izzlamick context:
Cameron Bertuzzi of Capturing Christianity explains the tremendous implications of a recent find at Megiddo in Israel, which confirms that early Christians considered Jesus to be God, all the way back in the early 3rd Century – a full 100 years BEFORE the Council of Nicaea:
This is profound, because one of the standard attack lines that uninformed and ignorant Muzzies and atheists typically use against Christianity, has to do with the notion that the divinity of Jesus was only widely established and accepted throughout the Christian world, at the Council of Nicaea.
In fact, this is nonsense. Anyone who knows his true Christian history, knows perfectly well that Jesus’s divinity was thoroughly established and accepted right from the start. But this lie refuses to go away.
Now, though, we have the evidence to back it up, right there in the ground. Quite literally, the stones cry out for the truth.
Avery from GodLogic turns the tables on a particularly silly Muzzie:
Sam Shamoun absolutely smacks around a particularly arrogant Dutch Muzzie – using Izzlam’s own sources, as usual:
Fr. Josiah Trenin provides a powerful Orthodox perspective on the nature of real and true wealth:
Manly Men of Manliness
Legion of Men has an excellent video in which he offers his thoughts over a woman who admits that sex before marriage is DEVASTATING for women:
It is devastating for men, too, but not nearly to the same degree, because we are programmed very differently at the biological and psychological levels.
Joker from Better Bachelor has a GREAT time dunking on everyone’s favourite used-up ‘Strayan slutbag, Jana Hocking:
Manosphere Highlights Daily analyses a particularly good scene from the classic film, Risky Business:
In the same vein, let’s have the usual collection of women posting their own Ls online. We start with Manosphere:

Plus one from Man Talk:
Burn Paedowood to the Ground
Midnight’s Edge is not amused by Dune: Prophecy, which is (inevitably) all about “witches INNNN SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!”:
It is so frustrating to watch the DUNE canon being shredded like that. The Duneverse is incredibly rich and deep – Brian Herbert’s and Kevin J. Anderson’s severely stupid and ham-fisted attempts to “expand upon” the original novels notwithstanding – and there is a lot of room to probe the concepts and ideas sketched out by the author about, say, the Butlerian Jihad. The expanded novels by Herbert and Anderson were TERRIBLE, but that doesn’t mean a skilled film-maker could not do something great with the source material.
Instead, we get… this watered-down stupid crap.
Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock tried really hard to keep it together while watching that new Star Trek short film I discussed a while back:
Gary from Nerdrotic watched both Wicked and Gladiator 2, and found the first unbearable, and the second unbearably mid-tier:
The Critical Drinker tries, and fails, to come up with a good answer to the question we are ALL asking:
The original Gladiator is pure AMAZEBALLS. It still holds up incredibly well, nearly 25 years later. Its impact upon me was such that, of all the things I saw when I visited Rome recently, the Colosseum gave me by far the greatest emotional high. Even my visit to the Vatican Museum and St. Peter’s Basilica was not as powerful and moving an experience as that.
I remember thinking to myself, while standing in the Colosseum, “Lord, if you want to take me home now, I’m good – I’ve seen the Colosseum. Whenever you’re ready.” It was THAT kind of an experience. I literally kept playing over in my head the dialogue between Proximo and Maximus, the one that showed us all what a legendary actor the late, great Oliver Reed was:
Reading Too Much Into Things
Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, in the form of a video from Fexl unpacking the possibility of a “living Universe”:
Your long read of the week is a lengthy piece by DA KERNEL HIZZSELF, about the fiscal pressures facing the American defence establishment as the FUSA rushes ver closer to debt default:
Precision strike effects (kinetic and non-kinetic) using a vast array of weapons in all domains enabled by the rapid and timely dissemination of information through networked Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities point the way to a fundamental paradigm shift in 21st-century warfare. Russian military success in the recent war between Russia and Ukraine owes much of its success to the integration of many factors.
First, the mobilization of manpower, economic and industrial production. Second, Russian production of key weapons systems rose dramatically after October 2022, immediately after U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo told Congress that U.S. sanctions had reduced Russia to using semiconductors from “dishwashers & refrigerators” for their weapons. Third, Russian weapon systems performed beyond Western expectation. Western weapons did not. Washington and its allies infused Ukrainian Forces with equipment and technology on the scale of U.S. Lend Lease to the Soviet Union during WWII, but the weapon systems and equipment could not outpace Russian performance.
Finally, Russian commanders on the battlefield still had to direct their forces, tactics mattered, and the readiness of the Russian soldier to close with and destroy his opponent was critical to battlefield success. Russia’s decision to conduct a strategic defense in depth reduced the sensor-to-shooter time to the point that operational strikes using cruise missiles, glide bombs, rocket artillery, and tactical ballistic missiles were directed by brigade commanders against targets in minutes. What emerged was an ISR-Strike Complex that integrated maneuver and logistics across thousands of square miles to magnify the impact of Russian military power. In this operational setting, the defense triumphed over the offense.
Russian Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) shot down roughly 35,000 drones, 647 aircraft (all types), and 283 helicopters. Russia’s tight integration of ISR with Strike Weapon Systems (artillery, rockets, missiles, and aircraft-delivered bombs) is responsible for 870,000 casualties of an estimated 1.8+ million Ukrainian casualties. The numbers of Ukrainian dead probably exceed 600,000. Meanwhile, in less than three years of combat, the Russian military sustained 120,000 casualties, including 75,000 soldiers killed in action.
Open disbelief in the possibility that Russian ISR-Strike Complex could defeat masses of armor and aircraft resulted in repeated battlefield failures costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers. The point is that ISR and Strike capabilities now shape mission areas that cut across all domains (land, sea, air, and space). Single-service command structures are obsolete. U.S. capabilities must be integrated within the ISR-Strike Complex at the operational level to detect, deter, disrupt, neutralize, or destroy opposing forces decisively. Much of the Ukrainian force that was destroyed resembled our force structures and equipment. This recognition demands a thorough analysis of our own forces, weapons, and employment norms from the standpoint of effectiveness and efficiency.
After WWII, Eisenhower said, “Separate ground, sea, and air warfare is gone forever.” The time to translate Eisenhower’s vision into reality is long overdue. Defense investments, commitments, and missions must be aligned with new forms of warfare that make traditional maneuvers on the battlefield extremely difficult, if not impossible. In other words, it’s time to optimize today’s forces within the trend lines shown below to guide strategic investment/acquisition over time.
Aligning defense investments with the evolutionary trends alters the traditional defense paradigm. Optimizing “capability at cost” inside the Post-Industrial Age structure dramatically increases the operational impact of each dollar spent. Failure to correct contemporary industrial age inefficiencies and duplications reduces operational impact and perpetuates unsustainable “cost exchange ratios” with opponents as seen in Ukraine.
In sports, getting to the ball is not enough. Winning teams move to where the ball is going to be; to where their players can pass the ball for a scoring shot. Teams win by identifying patterns in the game’s evolution, patterns they can leverage. Patterns are not absolute and adjustment to leverage the patterns is required on the way to victory.
Warfare is similar. Hindsight tells us that machine guns and artillery would kill millions of unprotected infantrymen during World War I. But hindsight could have been foresight if viewed through the right lens. In Clayton Christensen’s book, The Innovator’s Dilemma, the author argues that corporations should create specialized, autonomous organizations to exploit new technologies or risk squandering revolutionary capabilities inside status quo organizations. A special purpose organization designed to lead changes in defense is needed for the same purpose.
Persistent surveillance linked to modern Strike Weapon systems including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, rocket artillery, manned and unmanned systems of every kind make the conduct of traditional amphibious, airborne, or airmobile operations impossible in anything but permissive environments. Moving large ground forces, tracked or wheeled together with supporting logistical equipment, ammunition, food, and medical supplies with sea transport over the vast distances of the Pacific, Atlantic, or Indian Oceans is not viable in contested environments. Long-range precision Strike from submersible, surface, or land-based platforms dominate the battlespace. In other words, repeating any of these operations on the scale of WWII would be suicidal.

Right, here is your Instathot for the start of the week. This is another excellent suggestion from our friend Dawn Pine – the lady in question is Sydney Thomas, age 20 from Amerikhastan, and currently a student at the University of Alabama. The keen of eye will notice she is not at all dissimilar to another Sydney – that is to say, Sydney Sweeney – whose ample… TALENTS have guaranteed her fame and fortune.
Ms Thomas, on the other hand, shot to fame as a ring-girl for the Paul-Tyson boxing match, which I didn’t watch, and which was apparently utterly boring, but for the young lady in question.
Personally, I give her face a 6 and her body a 9, but that’s me.
OK, lads, back to work now.

I didn’t get through the 10 things women don’t do after marriage. Of the six or so I watched, she was off on three, mostly about sex. I didn’t seem to have those issues. About 1/2 the guys I know do though.
The ones she was right about, she was right on though. “I want fun…you don’t plan.. it’s all on me!” hoof! gave me flashbacks.
I ended up surfing around Man Talk’s channel. They really are that stupid, aren’t they? They blow things up, we’re gone, often with their friends. In my case, my ex’s friends are hideous. So she has that going for her. But she never comes to the conclusion of his many examples that she screwed up bigly.
Gladiator is a movie, like the Godfather, that I never get tired of watching.
