Remember how we were told just a few months ago that Assad was using a giant hydraulic press to turn prisoners into pancakes? Over the coming weeks and months we’re going to see just how much worse the people he was fighting really are.

Worse Than We Imagined

AC points out the significance of 83 percent of all US government spending going to Clown World’s surveillance state oppressing Americans: All of it is coming. It is just there is so much of it. The Secretary of State just came out and said 83% of an entire government department, all of our foreign aid, […]

The Rot of Credentialism

The essence of the very thing in which so many people place such confidence and from which they derive so much self-worth is fundamentally rotten: Credentialism, like so much rot, has precedent in academia. Consider peer review. Peer review ostensibly improves the credibility of scientific works and helps to prevent fraud while keeping the standards […]

"Or, perhaps I’m just being naïve and that inequality and those who have wealth will always have a distinct advantage over those without. Just do me a favour, don’t boast about how many books you’ve sold when you’re spending a small fortune for ads in the process…"

“The West has a Sunk Cost problem: they’ve invested everything not only into the Ukraine war itself, but now into the image of their own strength and ability to manifest peace at will. In other words, they told the world Russia was weak, and that they had the global clout to bring Putin to the table anytime they saw fit.

Instead, the rampaging bear has not slowed, and Western puppet leaders are panickedly fighting the narrative current, pushing inertia for its own sake to signal faux-strength and leadership on global issues. They continue pretending that negotiations are drawing ever-nearer in a comic rendition of Zeno’s Paradox, all the while Russia cajoles them with the ol’ snickering wink as it pushes inexorably forward.”

"People of Serbia are normally wary of street protests, remembering the bitter aftertaste of their October 2000 “democratic revolution” against then-President Slobodan Milosevic. Many of the people involved believed they were taking part in a spontaneous revolt against Milosevic’s purported “betrayal” of Kosovo—only to discover they had been played by the National Endowment for Democracy and its clever blueprint of subversion that would become known as the “color revolution.”

"Those protests too were led by “students”—or rather, what started as a student group before getting infiltrated by NED. Known as Otpor (Resistance), they used a black fist as their symbol and also had clever marketing and branding, all funded by the American taxpayer.

Some of the people behind the October 2000 coup later openly boasted about getting “suitcases of cash” via the U.S. embassy and various NED cutouts, and a small number went on to become professional revolution-mongers in places like Georgia, Ukraine, and North Africa."
