“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.”

The not at all secret Putin Plan

The not at all secret Putin Plan

About a week ago, the Neo-Tsar held a marathon, and magisterial, four-hour press conference in which he addressed both the Russian and international press, and also answered a wide range of questions from his own citizens. The point of this event was to provide a...
Five questions Islam cannot answer

Five questions Islam cannot answer

It has been quite a while since I did anything approaching a reasonably deep and nuanced look at Izzlam over here. World events have made such writing irrelevant, to say the least. But it is worth remembering that Izzlam represents a potent threat to Western...

The visionary of Valdai

If ever you want to understand how and why the West seems to be losing on every front, all you have to do is to watch the leaders of the Western bloc’s geopolitical rivals, when they speak in public. We had one such opportunity this week, when the Neo-Tsar held...
Thoughts and pictures from Mordor

Thoughts and pictures from Mordor

As I have mentioned a few times, I got back from a two-week trip to Russia and Central Asia recently. It was a fantastic trip, involving stays in Moscow, Dagestan, and Kyrgyzstan, and plenty of walking, driving, and hiking around some of the most amazing natural...
Competence is necessary but not sufficient

Competence is necessary but not sufficient

As noted earlier this week in the Great Mondaydact Browser Slayer, the long read of the week was an excellent bit of analysis on the decline, fall, and collapse of the Western world by Gaius Baltar, featured at Larry Johnson’s SONAR21 blog. As Mr. Baltar pointed...
Thot in the shell

Thot in the shell

A bit over a year ago, I wrote about the story of one Diana Deets, aka Coconut Kitty, who was (in)famous for posting pictures of herself on her Instaham account with VERY heavy filtering that made her look about half her true age. Sadly, the woman behind that account...

Chasing shadows in Banderastan

I really, really did not want to write anything more about the Gonzalo Lira situation. When he disappeared off the radar after his rather odd attempts to flee SBU custody and seek sanctuary in Hungary, I figured he had been caught and detained at the border by the...
If it glows yellow and blue…

If it glows yellow and blue…

I would imagine most people are not familiar with the recent drama surrounding one Gonzalo Lira. A few months ago, I wrote about his disappearance and asked people to pray for him, because it seemed like he had been arrested for, essentially, telling the truth. It is...
Franchise: Unkillable

Franchise: Unkillable

If you have not yet seen Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, or, as the cool kids call it, M:I7, I assure you, it is WELL worth the price of admission. I kicked my own ass to go watch the thing yesterday, despite quite horrid weather and a general sense...
A Lvov Boat spin-off appears imminent

A Lvov Boat spin-off appears imminent

Gentlemen, no doubt many of you remember last year’s most hilariously over-the-top White-trash-trailer-park soap opera, which I quite fittingly titled Lvov Boat. In case you need a season recap, please refer to this season guide. Essentially, the season –...
