“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 God-Emperor arises

It’s all over bar the shouting now, apparently- The Donald is in fact going to be the Republican nominee for POTUS: Triumphant Donald Trump claimed victory in the Republican presidential contest on Tuesday night, after Ted Cruz dropped out of the race following...

4th Generation Warfare and its discontents

These days, it’s a $1.2 BILLION bomber I finished reading The 4th Generation Warfare Handbook by William S. Lind and Lt. Col. Gregory A. Thiele (USMC) a few days ago. It was a rather interesting distillation of wisdom and ideas from two of the finest...

Opportunities, not passions

Alpha and Beta political philosophies

Several years back, Bill Whittle produced what I consider to be one of his all-time classic video commentaries, on the difference between Alpha and Beta males. In that video, “Beta Nation”, he outlined precisely why it is that, no matter where you look, no...

More glass ceilings, Pt. 1

If you have not read it already, Vox Day’s superb book, SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police is one that you need to get your hands on right now and read. Vox wrote it to give ordinary folks like you and me a fighting chance when standing up...

IdiotZ

As if we needed any more evidence, it would appear that the generation after mine is well, truly, and totally F***ED UP BEYOND ALL RECOVERY: Fifty-six percent of respondents from the so-called Gen-Z “said they know someone who went by gender neutral pronouns such as...
