9 Clever Ways to Beat the Monday Blues | Koala bären ...

Boys, there ain’t no way to get around it – Mondays SUUUUUUUCK.

Which, of course, means that it’s time for another installment of the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster, to make it all better.

This week’s installment is a few hours late because I’ve been dealing with a lot of insane behaviour, mostly of the female kind. But, the show MUST go on, and so here we are.

This week starts with the fact that far too many Americans are failing to pay heed to the rights that they take for granted, and have chosen instead to try to appease those who are looting, pillaging, burning, and rioting in the streets of their greatest cities.

The city council of Minneapolis has voted to defund their local police force, which is insanity squared. And they did that before Los Angeles and New York, which are two cities that absolutely require a police presence in order to avoid mass slaughter in the streets as Blacks and Hispanics simply kill each other outright.

The reason they are doing this is to appeal to the supposed “better angels” of a mob of angry dyscivic anarchic people who have no reason to be lenient to those that they abuse. They are not appeased by these gestures, they are emboldened by them.

Many of us have had to learn, very much the hard way, that appeasement is not a strategy for long-term success. It brings to mind the old wisdom that Lord Winston Churchill – a highly overrated blowhard if there ever was one – spoke on the subject, with a rather apt and apposite metaphor concerning crocodile-feeding:

***

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, took forceful steps last week to restore law and order to his country by calling up heavily armed troops to take back the cities:

The President is limited – and thank God for that – in terms of what he can do, by the Insurrection and Posse Comitatus Acts. That is very much right and good. The President was NEVER intended to have the full powers of an absolute monarch and can only send in armed troops during a dire and true emergency.

I’d say that over a week of rioting, looting, smashing, burning, and generally dyscivic behaviour qualifies handily.

It’s well past time for the God-Emperor to use the powers that he is given, and take over from the mayors and governors who have lost control of their cities and states. Fortunately, that list is growing smaller by the day as order is restored, slowly and painstakingly. But there are still plenty of places where anarchy and disorder reign, and those are the places that must be brought back under control.

#BasedTucker is based:

Tucker’s words and the video clips around the 5-minute mark are extremely powerful. The bit where that white woman goes on her knees and apologises for her “white privilege” is genuinely sickening to watch.

The self-abasement and proskynesis performed by whites in the face of a howling mob of rioters and pillagers is simply disgusting.

The current rioting and looting in the USA is a timely reminder of Larry Elder’s wisdom:

I’m not a big fan of Dennis Prager, largely because of his Neo-Palestinian rhetoric, but he does make quite a lot of good points:

To perhaps nobody’s surprise, it turns out that the Chinese are actively engaged in a massive eugenics program:

Zoom meetings have really taken on a life of their own:

And we cap things off with a classic joke from St. Reagan of the Right:

***

Paul Ramsey was seriously black-pilled about the God-Emperor when the riots started:

But then the Lion of Midnight really stepped up and took charge, as is his wont, and boy did that flip things:

Paul isn’t being inconsistent. This is what the God-Emperor does. If you look at his actual track record, he puts forth a great deal of blustery rhetoric, and you get the feeling that he’s all talk and no action – but then he acts, and usually does so in a pretty strong yet measured way.

He isn’t perfect. At all. The God-Emperor has made a lot of mistakes, and his biggest BY FAR is the fact that he continues to let Jared Kushner, his New York liberal secular Jew of a son-in-law, advise him and maintain his own power base. Kushner is a disaster who needs to be removed from the God-Emperor’s inner circle ASAFP.

PJW excoriates the (((media))) and others for their sudden and highly selective memory about the Wuhan coronavirus:

***

El Razorfist is absolutely spitting blood over the Final Fantasy VII remake, in what has to be one of his finest rants ever recorded:

I’ve never played FF7 – or any of the other games in the series, actually – so I have no dog in that particular fight. I did play Square Enix’s RPG game The Secret of Mana back in the days when they were still releasing titles for Nintendo. That game is regarded by RPG fans as one of the most universally beloved games in the entire genre’s history.

So the fact that Square Enix has such a hard time doing the very thing that MADE THEIR NAME, should tell you plenty about the company’s fortunes.


***

China Uncensored looks at the steps that the God-Emperor is taking to deal with China as a strategic rival:

A lot of pundits are openly arguing that the USA and China are now locked in a second Cold War. That is fundamentally true. The major difference between the previous Cold War and this one is that the USA is in a FAR weaker position against a much stronger rival.

The USSR was always basically a military hyperpower with no economy to back itself up. Literally half of its entire GDP went to its armed forces, which were huge and extremely intimidating, but were nowhere near as technically advanced as everyone thought before the Iron Curtain fell. By the time St. Reagan Magnus of the Right entered office to begin his spell as the greatest President of the 20th Century, the entire economy of Russia was only about the size of California’s (back before it became a Communist state itself), and the entire USSR could be outproduced by the USA all on its lonesome.

The economic situation today is radically different.

Thanks to cataclysmically stupid trade policies enacted by governments throughout the Western world, and by no less than four successive globalist American Presidents, China’s economy is the manufacturing hub of the entire world.

Its program of rampant theft of IP and technology, along with the CCP’s superbly choreographed global propaganda campaigns and “contributions” to various politicians and key institutions in the West, make it a very dangerous and highly subversive force within Western nations.

This is exactly the same way that the USSR behaved back in the day. But China’s economic power is vastly greater than the USSR’s ever was. In fact, the Chinese have happily taken Western money – TRILLIONS of dollars of it – and built the very processes that will shatter Western dominance over the Pacific, at minimum, within a decade.

A military confrontation between the USA and China is basically inevitable at this point. However, it is one that I expect China to win, handily.

Midnight’s Edge looks at the rumoured existence of the “Ayer Cut” of Suicide Squad in the wake of the upcoming release of the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, and asks if the former might actually be any good:

The bought-and-paid-for presstitutes of the Hollyweird access media were terrified that releasing the Snyder Cut would give “toxic fans” more power and a significant voice to override studio decisions. They were absolutely right to be frightened. That is exactly what has happened.

And that is, on balance, a VERY good thing.

Overlord Dictor Van Doomcock looks and laughs at the abysmal state of the Star Trek franchise under ViacomCBS and the likelihood that the parent company will have to sell off the property:

Gary from Nerdrotic looks at the latest news from Marvel Comics, where the SJW convergence appears to be terminal at this point:

Jeremy from The Quartering analyses the “shocking” news that the CW is simply eliminating the current Batwoman character completely from the upcoming (and likely to be utterly unwatchable) second season of the show:

Supposedly the new Batwoman is going to be called “Ryan Wilder”, which means that the character is likely to be not merely a lesbian or bisexual, but a tranny.

Yeah, that’s going to go really well for the CW…

Honestly, what a bunch of morons.

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and concerns the genonmic origins of early Israel:

Here, we set out to address three issues. First, we sought to determine the extent of genetic homogeneity among the sites associated with Canaanite material culture. Second, we analyzed the data to gain insights into the timing, extent, and origin of gene flow that brought Zagros- and Caucasus-related ancestry to the Bronze Age Southern Levant. Third, we assessed the extent to which additional gene flow events have affected the region since that time.



To address these questions, we generated genome-wide ancient DNA data for 71 Bronze Age and 2 Iron Age individuals, spanning roughly 1,500 years, from the Intermediate Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age. Combined with previously published data on the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Southern Levant, we assembled a dataset of 93 individuals from 9 sites across present-day Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon, all demonstrating Canaanite material culture. We show that the sampled individuals from the different sites are usually genetically similar, albeit with subtle but in some cases significant differences, especially in residents of the coastal regions of Sidon and Ashkelon. Almost all individuals can be modeled as a mixture of local earlier Neolithic populations and populations from the northeastern part of the Near East. However, the mixture proportions change over time, revealing the demographic dynamics of the Southern Levant during the Bronze Age. Finally, we show that the genomes of present-day groups geographically and historically linked to the Bronze Age Levant, including the great majority of present-day Jewish groups and Levantine Arabic-speaking groups, are consistent with having 50% or more of their ancestry from people related to groups who lived in the Bronze Age Levant and the Chalcolithic Zagros. These present-day groups also show ancestries that cannot be modeled by the available ancient DNA data, highlighting the importance of additional major genetic effects on the region since the Bronze Age.

Your long read of the week, and it is VERY long, comes from Neon Revolt, and concerns the unfolding Soros-backed Colour Revolution in the USA:

I think Trump is willing to let the White House burn – the People’s House – this grand symbol of America – if it means Antifa becomes designated a terrorist organization, at which point they can move, out-in-the-open against George Soros.



Will it be necessary? I’m not 100% sure, but Trump thinks outside the box so much, I have to consider it a possibility. Its one of his best qualities; he uses unexpected tactics. And this has been a strength of his at every turn.



And while it may be heart-wrenching to even consider such a possibility, I said this much on Gab: no one could rebuild a better White House than Trump could. And I’m sure he’d be more than happy to spend time in other Continuity-of-Government facilities, and even Mar-a-Lago while such a project was underway.



It’s clear his thinking is generational, and not just focused on the next four years.



And I’ll also readily admit here that such a tactic may not be necessary at all. Maybe the destruction these Soros-backed groups plan to wreak on the nation over the weekend will be enough in-and-of itself to give Trump all the leverage he needs.



But I wouldn’t be surprised if burning the White House down – essentially baiting Soros by danging his ultimate desire in front of him: the destruction of the US – was exactly the key to Trump’s victory here. And it wouldn’t be the first time in our history such an event has happened, either.

The Kings and Generals channel did something remarkably stupid last week when they announced to all and sundry that they were severely infected with the wokevirus:

They immediately lost my subscription and I will no longer feature their videos in the weekly browser-killers.

I’m not going to lie – this is a major loss. I love their content. I think they are easily one of the very best channels on YouTube. I think that the guy who narrates their videos has an amazing voice.

But I will NOT tolerate a bunch of wokescolds telling me that they want to donate to violent anarchists in America, especially when they go on and on about the history behind the glories of Western civilisation but then turn around and support the very people tearing it down.

So I will use different channels for the history segments every week from now on. Here’s a video on the legendary Spanish knight El Cid:

I mean, you have to admit, that’s true…

This next one might take a moment, but when you get it, you’ll realise how awesome it is:

Headlines of the week indicate that Mother Nature is on the rag right now, and it’s looking REALLY bad for us puny humans:

It’s getting so bad that even the Testicle Festival is on hold:

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the term “blue balls”, doesn’t it…

Wouldn’t bet against it myself.

Oh we’re F***ED…

Oh, but wait, it’s getting MUCH, MUCH WORSE:

GOTT VERDAMMT!!!

That’s why dogs are better.

This next one is funny even if you actually – *GULP* – like a NICKELBACK song or two. (That would be me. Yeah, I admitted it, and that’s the first step on the road to recovery.)

This next one is just EPIC:

MEAT SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS.

#PirateMetalDrinkingCrew



I can’t say I’ve been terribly impressed with ALESTORM over the past few years. Their shtick has gotten pretty stale.

That hasn’t stopped them from spawning a few imitators, though – such as:

I would imagine that Christopher Bowes will have a thing or three to say about copyright infringement, if he isn’t busy pissing himself from laughing.

Even folk-metal stalwarts ENSIFERUM have gotten in on the act:

Well, those guys certainly have their priorities straight and no mistake.

On a more cheery note, I’m delighted to see the news that one of my absolute favourite old-school bands, FALCONER, is back:

It’s been something going on 6 years since their last album. Evidently they have lost none of their fire and force and majesty. About the only thing that I can complain about is that the production is too “dry”, though that could very well be the compression due to YouTube uploading.

I saw KAMELOT play that song live with both Elize and Alyssa when they opened for NIGHTWISH some years ago. I think this was back in like 2012 or thereabouts, some time after the first band released Silverthorn and the second released Imaginaereum.

***

And finally here’s your starting Instathot. She is named Alexandra Danilova, age 22 from Minsk, Belarus. She is of mixed Belarussian and Georgian parentage, and judging by her VKontakte profile, she’s been working her looks for quite a while. If you check on her Instathot pictures, she’s been all over the place – Dubai, Singapore, Thailand, France, Turkey, and Italy, just to name a few. Which means that she has, shall we say, sponsors with very deep pockets.

The fact that she looks like she could suck-start a leaf-blower is not at all coincidental; there is evidence, circumstantial though it might be, that she does “erotic photoshoots” with additional fees for, shall we say, continuation of the festivities.

So, y’know, THOT CONFIRMED.

    Funny you mention Secret of Mana. I'm currently playing its unreleased-until-last-year SNES sequel, which is officially called Trials of Mana. Both games are kind of like your stereotypical dumb HB9 (HB10 for Trials). Once you get over how amazing she looks and sounds and feels, you realize that there's nothing of substance there and move on. It doesn't help that she also has a bunch of really annoying habits that individually might not bug you, but in aggregate drive you crazy.

    The old Square magic died a long time ago, right around when the Final Fantasy movie tanked, nearly took the company with it, and they resorted to one of the cheapest and most insulting cash-ins of all time (Final Fantasy X-2) just to stay in business. I'm not surprised that the FFVII remake is a pile of crap. I'll just replay the original instead. It's overhyped by its fanboys but is still pretty good today if you can stomach the gnarly late-90's graphics.

    Remember how I said that the part of Tsavo Highway after the broken bridge was the hardest part of Halo 3 on Legendary? That part in Crow's Nest where you have to clear the brutes out of the barracks is the second hardest. Have fun getting by half a dozen of them packing brute shots on higher ground, then have even more fun clearing 10-15 more in tight quarters where splash damage from one or two brute shots is enough to kill you.

      Now that you point it out… yeah. TSOM was actually incredibly long, repetitive, and frankly boring in certain stretches. Looked really cool, felt like a massive chore after a while. But the story was engaging enough to warrant hundreds – and I do mean hundreds – of hours of gameplay as a kid.

      Oh yeah I remember that movie. They put so much effort into animating Whatsername's hair that they forgot to put any into the plot.

      It's a huge pain in the ass on Heroic, too. I remember practically screaming with frustration once when I was trying to blast the three Wraiths in that level while getting swarmed by Brute Choppers for the better part of an hour, a few years ago.

      I love HALO 3, to me it's the greatest FPS game ever made. But boy are there some annoying parts of it.

    Piggott said it best- "The modern man knows that there is only one time in his life that it is appropriate to kneel, and that is when he is asking God for forgiveness for what he is about to do to His enemies."

    I'll kneel for no human.

    And those imbeciles crowing about genocide. Wanna see genocide? Get rid of the cops. When there's no law, what you are going to get is Bosnia.

    They act out like they are doing now with no cops? they, their families, and their friends will be massacred, and herded far away from civilization. Even minor crimes will be punished harshly.

    One some level, the system works. We just have to use it.

      Adam does have an excellent way with words. I admire his writing skill – he's much more pithy and precise than I am about many things.

      One some level, the system works. We just have to use it.

      Indeed. The very people acting out and demanding "NO COPS!" will be the ones lined up and shot first when a far less civic form of order is imposed upon them.

      It must always be remembered that civilisation is nothing more than a gentleman's agreement to play by certain rules, so that large numbers of people can live in close proximity without dying like flies or slaughtering each other.

      Those aren't my words, they belong to our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH), Vox Day. And he is absolutely right.
