The War That Wouldn’t Start

Ron Unz suspects that the pager attack was supposed to be a preemptive first strike to disrupt a Hezbollah attack that never came: Mossad certainly achieved a brilliant tactical victory, one that its members and pro-Israel partisans surely intend to boast about for years. But many aspects of the attack seemed very puzzling to me, […]

Whether this is true or not, "Message like everyone is watching," is good advice.

"Dr Dunegan got the impression that Dr Day was talking as an “insider”, rather than as a person who was presenting a theory or speaking in terms of retrospect. Dr Day’s knowledge seemed concrete as he talked about the future and the strategies of people and organizations that had a defined plan for the world – what he called a “New World System” – and who were in a position to make sure that plan was executed according to a set timescale."

🇺🇸🏴‍☠️👉🇨🇳 US rebuilds airbase used to nuclear bomb Japan in August 1945

The airbase in question is on the Pacific island of Tinian. Since the beginning of this year, the US military has been clearing and equipping runways there.

Already 20 million square meters of asphalt have been restored, hundreds of hectares of jungle have been cleared. The media writes that the Pentagon spent almost $500 million on this.

The restoration project is part of the Pacific Containment Initiative, which aims to prevent China from establishing control over Taiwan.

American bombers took off from Tinian Island in 1945, dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Pictured is an American air base during World War II.

"In the popular imagination of the Western normie, World War Two is an uncomplicated battle between good and evil. Hitler is the central character of the drama, a dark god of storms, blood, and iron whose hypnotic presence inspires unthinking devotion and atavistic werewolf frenzy in all who fall under his spell. Hitler is insane, driven by hubris to conquer the world, determined to exterminate every people that Nazi race science declares inferior to the Aryan ubermenschen. Hitler’s Nazis are physically perfect, wielding technology so advanced it verges on sorcery, but irredeemably maddened by infection with Hitler’s unreasoning hatred of the Other. The avatar of the Other is found in the person of the long-suffering, innocent Jew, whose only crime is to be scapegoated for his patient wisdom and kindly intelligence, which the brilliant but sadistic Nazi cannot abide.

"Opposing Hitler, initially reluctantly, are the peace-loving Allies – always depicted in Hollywood as Americans first and foremost, British secondarily, and Russian almost never ... indeed the Russians are quite conspicuous in their absence, despite that Russia did most of the fighting ... the bear that didn’t growl. The Americans and British are not ubermenschen like the Nazis – they are just regular Joes, honest Midwestern farm boys and maybe slightly-less-than-honest Italian dock workers, with no superpower but gumption, basic human decency, and a belief in that most sacred of ideals, the equality of man. Their leaders embody this well-meaning imperfection: Churchill a fat drunk, Franklin Delano Roosevelt a cripple, Stalin a ... well let’s pass over Stalin. Flawed as they may be, unlike Hitler, they are not insane; they do not desire to rule the world; they merely wish to protect it from the Nazi beast.

"In the course of fighting back the Nazi war machine, the struggling Allies uncover something horrible – the death camps of the Holocaust, in which the Nazis systematically murdered millions of Jews in gas chambers, hiding the evidence with crematory ovens that covered Europe’s fields with the ashes of millions of murdered bodies.

"The climax of the saga comes not in Germany but in Japan, with the detonation of the atomic bombs – a horror made necessary by the otherwise adamantine fanaticism of bushido, inflicted not only to save the lives of American soldiers, but to save the Japanese from themselves.

"After the Holocaust and the Bomb, nothing can ever be the same again. The old world is dead. Time is divided into the ante-Holocaust era and the post-Bomb era. A theophany has taken place; history has been generated once again. Though one might wonder which theos it was who intervened..."

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Israeli media: The entire senior command of Hezbullah's Radwan force was eliminated in the strike (around 20 commanders), an Israeli official told Axios

"To address such a scenario, these four House members — two Republicans and two Democrats — are pushing an unlikely solution: a constitutional amendment that would allow members to be replaced quickly in the event of a mass-casualty event.
...
"According to a survey of state election officials, states need between three and four months, on average, to hold a special election to replace a deceased House member — a function of the time it takes to print ballots in addition to a federal law requiring ballots to be mailed to overseas and military voters at least 45 days ahead of an election.
“That’s actually a really long time to have a vacancy if you’re in the midst of a national crisis,” Kilmer said."

Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems, peer-reviewed paper says

According to a peer-reviewed paper published in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology in May 2024, “Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems.”

The authors, Andy May and Marcel Crok, argue that the sceptical position on dangerous man-made climate change is supported by a comprehensive literature review…

"As a career member of government, I assumed away all of the challenges entrepreneurs and business owners deal with every day. I assumed away the stress of perhaps not making payroll. I assumed away what it is like to see your hopes, dreams, blood, sweat and tears swept away in an economic downturn. I assumed away what it’s like to wonder how you will feed your family or send your kids to college if customers don’t start showing up. A life in government not only means you don’t understand business, it also means you are ensconced in a mind-numbing, comforting womb of economic security provided by the value-creating taxpayers while at the same time never understanding the economic insecurity and trials of those very same taxpayers affording you such luxury."

NEW:

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Hezbollah has called on Israeli settlers to leave northern Israel:

"To the settlers in occupied Palestine:

The Islamic resistance in Lebanon is now taking military action against your regime, which does not care about your security and has imposed this war on you without considering the consequences.

We don't care about the safety of the settlers, but you should care about your own safety. So evacuate to the safe areas in Tel Aviv and Eilat.

If you want this war to stop, you must act decisively against the Netanyahu government and demand an immediate ceasefire."

Model Collapse
"That was one of the more fascinating topics I discussed last night with top roleplaying game designer Alexander Macris. As he pointed out, the decline we see across the board in places like Hollywood and oldpub fits the pattern of model collapse. Most writers of Current Year entertainment product are so far removed from real-world experience that their collective output is now just a degrading series of Xeroxes."

THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS A HOAX: GLOBAL WARMING SAVES LIVES WE NEED MORE!

"Cold weather is responsible for more than eight times the number of deaths as heat in Europe, a recent study has found.
The study, published in The Lancet Global Health, looked at 854 urban areas in Europe between 2000 and 2019. It found there were an estimated 363,809 deaths per year from cold, compared to an average of 43,729 per year from heat.
Analysis by the Office for National Statistics, published last year, found there have been more than 200,000 cold-related deaths in England and Wales since 1988, compared to some 50,000 heat-related deaths over the same period.
There has been criticism of global bodies — including the United Nations and World Health Organisation (WHO) — for putting too much emphasis on heat deaths despite cold proving far more lethal."

On how far Oligarchs can push men

Lucius Verginius was a Roman consul in 451 BC. He is best known for his role in the overthrow of the Decemviri, a group of ten men who had been appointed to codify Roman law but had become increasingly tyrannical. In their lust for power they had formed an oligarchy and ruled by assassinations of those who opposed them, even those guilty of nothing.

The immediate reason for Verginius' actions was the attempted enslavement of his daughter, Virginia, by Appius Claudius, one of the Decemviri. Claudius falsely accused Virginia of being a slave and attempted to have her taken away. Verginius, rather than see his daughter enslaved or dishonored, killed her with his own hands.

Verginius' actions sparked a revolt against the Decemviri. The people of Rome were outraged by the tyranny of the Decemviri and by the attempted rape of Virginia. Verginius led the people in a march on Rome, and the Decemviri were overthrown.

This is part of the speech that Verginius gave to the Romans before the tyrants were overthrown, his words are still valid today because fear and appeasement of tyrants is ultimately pointless:

"Let every one of you consider both what he has suffered himself and what he knows others to have suffered; and if any one of you, lured by them with pleasures or gratifications, does not stand in dread of the oligarchy or fear that the calamities will eventually come upon him too some day, let him learn that tyrants know no loyalty... Becoming of one mind, all of you, free from these tyrants your country... Will you not recover the proud spirit of your country? Will you not come to a decision worthy of the virtue of your ancestors..."
