“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.”

Rules don’t matter in a failing nation

His Most Beneficent and Legendary Astral Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus, recently caused some really severe ass-pain for a bunch of “Americans” originally from the Dirt World who just happen to be freshmen Congresscritters...

The Trillion-Dollar AWACS

I have been an extremely harsh critic of the F-35, especially the VTOL version for the Marine Corps, for years. But it would appear that there is some reason to think that the F-35 might just come good after all – under a very, very specific set of mission...

The Neo-Tsar against the neo-liberals

The President of the Russian Federation, one Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, had some rather interesting things to say in response to a question about an interview that he did recently: If you’re curious about what got the Neo-Tsar so fired up that he responded at...

Big Brother doesn’t need to watch you

In China, at least, all he has to do is to look at your mobile phone’s data. And, yes, in case you are wondering – yes, the ChiComs are a particularly impressive kind of high-tech evil: I am in the middle of re-reading 1984, for the first time since high...

Now that’s a bloody brilliant idea

Apparently it’s the 30th Anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and Steven Hayward over at Power Line had an interesting brainwave to help commemorate the tragedy: Almost 12 or 15 years ago now I was teaching a class at Georgetown as a visiting lecturer,...

Because they aren’t idiots, that’s why

Electile dysfunction

All of that nonsense about “MUH RUSSIA!!!” really was a lot of hooey. And, by the way, if you really want to startle a beautiful Russian girl on a date, tell her that something is in fact a bunch of hooey. The reason for this is that...

Make the rubble bounce

Those of you who follow our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) know full well about his extensive writings on the subject of SJW infiltration into various institutions. One of those institutions that appears to have been quite thoroughly infiltrated is...
