The Failure was Predicted - Vox Popoli - (Which leaves only DaBoomers who learned everything they needed to know in 8th grade - and they're sticking to it! - CL)

.....The Pax Americana is over. And rightly or wrongly, mostly wrongly since he wasn’t responsible for all of the historical factors, Trump will get the historical blame for it since it happened both on his watch and as a direct result of his actions.

Even the neocons are now openly admitting the complete catastrophe of their 30-year “bomb Iran” campaign, as Robert Kagan’s new article in The Atlantic demonstrates:

For years, Iran confronted a balance of power in the Middle East that tilted against it. The region was dominated by a hostile American superpower, a nuclear-armed and militarily superior Israel, and significant local actors—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates—that were strategically and economically aligned with the United States. Today finds Iran in entirely new circumstances. It has gone head-to-head with the superpower and Israel, withstood a pounding from their most advanced weapons, and more than survived. As a result, Iran has, with American help, completely reconfigured the power structure of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. The dominant power in the region going forward will be Iran, not the U.S. or Israel. Neighboring countries are already making their adjustments to this new reality. More distant powers will too. For years, the world has been dealing with an Iran constrained. It will now discover what Iran unleashed looks like.

Never Fear Mistakes - by Vox Day - Sigma Game - Corrections are opportunities for improvement

 It’s entirely normal to fear criticism and correction. Most people do. Women, in their fear of accountability, and Gammas, in defense of their delusion bubbles, particularly hate being either criticized or corrected.

Which, of course, is why they tend to remain mired in mediocrity.

John Harbaugh, formerly the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and now the head coach of the New York Giants, said that one of the reasons his Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis was so great was because Lewis demanded constant coaching from Harbaugh even though he was getting things 98 percent right compared to 80 percent for the average player. Harbaugh said Lewis worked harder on improving that final two percent than most players worked on improving the twenty percent they were missing.

The reason I mention this is that I learned this week how I made a moderately serious mistake in a bestselling book that I wrote earlier this year......

Yes, There Is DNA from Aborted Fetal Tissue in the Measles Vaccine - Billions of fragments, in fact

 Robert F. Kennedy Jr@RobertKennedyJr

At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is

RFK Jr. is correct. The fact is, there are billions of fragments of human cellular debris and DNA from the cultured cell line of an aborted fetus in every injected dose of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), chicken pox, and hepatitis A vaccines.

Because viruses multiply in cells, living cells are used to grow viruses for vaccine production, including the cultured cell lines of aborted fetuses. Two such cell lines are MRC-5 and WI-38, which are described by a company that sells them as follows:

Jewish woman praises WWII Germans! SS man singled out as a true gentleman – The Occidental Observer

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2026/08/27/jewish-woman-praises-wwii-germans-ss-man-singled-out-as-a-true-gentleman/ 

 Book review. Gone to Ground: One Woman’s Extraordinary Account of Survival in the Heart of Nazi German

Marie Jalowicz Simon. 2014

Marie Jalowicz Simon survived WWII as a Jew in Berlin. From 1942 she was illegal, but survived . She was helped by hundreds of Germans. Thousands knew about her. Nobody snitched

She is full of praise for the Germans who helped her. She names her managers at her forced labour job at Siemens and praises them to the skies. She names various SS, SA and other enthusiastically anti-Semitic people who helped her, because she was obviously just a Little Jew, not one of those nasty Big Jews that everybody loves to hate.

She came to a realization that might be useful in stopping the current Israeli slaughter. Is there some way to transmit this message to the Israeli population about the general Little Jew population over the world? It might help reduce the persecution mania.

I realized that the same Aryan Germans who hated the rich Jew from the big house like poison…had nothing against starving young girls who worked hard, just as he did himself.

This story could be made into a superb TV comedy. It is a wonderful antidote to the horrific allegations of widespread German cruelty towards the Jews.

Marie is by her own account, mostly kosher, mildly Zionist and enthusiastically communist. Praising goys is forbidden by the Jewish religion. Even accepting a favour from a non-Jew invokes a blessing on the non-Jew and therefore should be avoided. The socialist and Zionist will also object to the praise of Germans.

If NASA Went to the Moon Six Times. Why Is Going Back So Difficult - (Did we forget how to do it? - CL)

 I do not believe these claimed lunar landings occurred as NASA presented them. In my book Fake Moon Landings and the Lies of NASA, I examine numerous aspects of the Apollo story that I believe seriously undermine the official account.

But there is another question that has become increasingly difficult to ignore.

If the United States really possessed a reliable capability to land human beings on the Moon more than half a century ago, why has returning there proved so extraordinarily difficult?

Six Moon Landings — Then Nothing for More Than Half a Century.......

Feeling the Roots of Binary Thinking - by John Samson -(But how can a binary thinker comprehend what he cannot comprehend? - CL)

 Binary thinking is a problem because it totally misunderstands anything that isn’t a simple either/or. But assessing actual situations and their implications is processing information. Calculating possible outcomes, downstream consequences, and their likelihoods, identifying shades of gray, determining if they rise to the level of significance, etc. If informational analysis isn’t on the table, this can’t even start.

Beware of Yoram Hazony’s Attempts to Subvert Nationalism, by Jose Alberto Nino - The Unz Review

 Kosher nationalist movements are merely stalking horses for Zionist geopolitical endeavors.

https://www.unz.com/jnino/beware-of-yoram-hazonys-attempts-to-subvert-nationalism/ 

....Nationalists must recognize that Yoram Hazony’s project is another containment strategy designed to undermine genuine nationalist movements in the West. It invites you to the table only to ensure that the menu never includes the actual preservation of the European state-building people of the United States. If we are to survive as a civilization, we must reject these managed movements and build an authentic nationalism that prioritizes our own sovereign survival over the pseudo-nationalist movements whose real agenda is the advancement of the organized Jewish community’s geopolitical interests.

The New Elders of Zion – The Occidental Observer

 And here it becomes clear, I think, that the identity of the author(s) of the Protocols is perhaps irrelevant. The document describes in fair detail the “Jewish plan” from ages past: Acquire wealth by hook or by crook, use that wealth to corrupt the government, and then use governmental power to tilt the playing-field even more in the favor of Jews. Strive, ultimately, for world control. Do all this while, at the same time, taking every opportunity to debase, degrade, humiliate, and destroy the Goyim (non-Jews); the world is a zero-sum game, and every loss for gentiles is a gain for Jews. Hold no moral code but “Jewry first.” Might makes right, and ends justify the means. This has been the plan for three thousand years, and it is the plan today; it has worked in the past, and it will surely work in the future. “God” (Yahweh) promised this to the Jews long ago, and he has proven true to his word. This is the message of the Protocols. Whether it is the exposé of an actual Jewish cabal or the work of some Jew-hating anti-Semite does not really matter. It lays out the actual plan in stark terms for all to see. We can either act on it, or choose to ignore it.[15]

The Hellenistic Origin of the Torah, by Laurent Guyénot - The Unz Review

 anon[405] • Disclaimer says:

August 22, 2026 at 6:42 pm GMT • 2.8 days ago • 500 Words   ↑

Laurent Guyénot: Always hiding behind what men say to justify his rebellion against God.

Failure to acknowldge the difference between his Spirit and his flesh, and that Spirit should rule the flesh, and not the other way around. Dead in Spirit is no way to go through Life, son.

Moses prophesied the coming of Jesus Christ about 1400 years before Christ was born. (Yes, I know, Christ-haters will claim He never existed.) Here’s the thing: you cannot prove this wrong, no matter how much obfuscation and “pointing to what men say” you do.

Just like you cannot prove wrong any of the righteousness of God’s Commandments which are quite obviously meant to enable Life, not disable it, both the Two Most Important Commandments (to love God and one another) and the Ten Commandments. Not one Commandment is unrighteous, but since humans love to sin, they hate the Commandments. You cannot prove this wrong either.

Also, for centuries and also today, Jews have done what the early Catholics also did (and still do), because they hate what the Bible actually says: they made their own “explainer” to deceive the masses to follow them instead of God. Cases in point, the Talmud (which the Jews also lie and call the Torah), and the Catholic’s “catechism” manual which contains many sly deceptions.

Tell me, who were the two major Beast powers of this earth… who did so many governments answer to? For over 1000 years they feared the Catholic church who could turn their ignorant masses against them. And now, the oligarchs, at least half or more Jewish, who also have power to do the same thing.

If you actually read the Word of God by your own Spirit which God put in you, you would see the righteousness it contains.

But since you don’t, but only read it with your “flesh” in order to criticize it and justify your “self”, you willfully remain in blindness, always pretending to know more than God’s Word without actually knowing anything other than what other God-haters speak and write which supports your willful ignorance of righteousness.

One last thing: the smartest human scientists know that energy and matter cannot be created, but can only be converted one to another. Yet the universe, and all the matter and energy it contains, somehow exists. How can that be? We all know. God is seen by what He made (or did you make yourself in the womb?).

So let it be said to those who think they are smarter than God: If you really are smarter than God, let us know when you can create even the most infinitesimal unit of matter or energy out of NOTHING at all. We’ll wait. You get an entire miraculous lifetime, after all. If you never come back and prove your success in this, and yet have not repented of your failure to acknowledge the Creator, the result of your life will be the failure that comes by the refusal to live by both the Love and Truth God’s Word contains, meant only for your own good.

The Father That Can Say No - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 You don’t have to sacrifice your daughter to the pagan education gods just because she wants to throw herself into the fire.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy drove social media users crazy after giving his daughter a good reason why she cannot attend arguably America’s most infamous Ivy League school.

As Fox News reported, the Department of Transportation recently released an episode of its sponsored YouTube series “The Great American Roadtrip” where Duffy and his daughter Paloma discuss where she will be attending college.

Paloma informs her dad that she would love to attend Harvard University, given the school’s legendary academic prestige and belief that she would receive the best education there.

Duffy, though, had a question for her: Would you try to convince us to let you actually attend?

“Let’s say you got into Harvard, would you be pushing us to actually have you go?” Duffy asks Paloma.

“Probably, because if I don’t get in…I won’t be upset. But if I do get in, I feel like you can’t say no,” Paloma replied.

Then Duffy delivered some bad news to her.

“Well, me and mom can say no,” Duffy stated.

Upon hearing this, Paloma was noticeably unhappy.

The video next cuts to Sean Duffy’s wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, explaining the importance of Catholicism to their way of life and expressing worry that Harvard would try to poison Paloma’s mind and undermine her upbringing.

“Listen, we have thought about how we have raised you,” Duffy calmly explains to his daughter. “If I send you there, I worry they have professionalized figuring out how they can take good, young girls like you and corrupt their minds.”

Duffy went on to tell Paloma that it’s okay for her to hold different political viewpoints from his, but he wanted her to discover them on her own. Harvard would simply try to brainwash her into radical-left thinking.

Paloma gently pushed back, saying that attending Harvard could provide her with a well-rounded education, given that she had already attended a conservative high school. But her dad had a quick comeback.

“But they are so good at it. You’ll see people go to a conservative school and have a conservative family, and they get converted and contorted,” Duffy said.

https://sigmagame.substack.com/p/the-father-that-can-say-no?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2265630&post_id=212525329&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=y7h5a&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email 

First, Harvard has not provided anyone with “a well-rounded education” for the last sixty years. Those days are long gone. Even the celebrity professors are now mediocrities.

Second, this is solid paternal leadership. Sure, the daughter still might turn out to be a 304 with a degree after spending four years at the University of Chicago, but she’s far less likely to be transformed into a senpaku-eyed they/them with pink hair and piercings if she isn’t subjected to Ivy League-level brainwashing.

I don’t think young women should go to university at all, since doing so significantly increases the odds they will neither marry nor have children, but the fire is always worse than the frying pan. I further note that my own university degree has never done anything for me, and my single biggest professional mistake was not dropping out of college halfway through my sophomore year to focus on selling my CD-quality stereo sound board that was three years ahead of what Creative Labs and AdLib were selling.

Third, note the way in which even very young women are almost entirely driven by perceived status. This young woman knows nothing about Harvard beyond The Gilmore Girls; in reality it’s a tedious place full of posers and pretenders who are neither as intelligent nor as well-educated as they have been led to believe, being led blindly into an intellectual abattoire.

Fourth, the mother backs up the father when he is taking a difficult stand for the good of their daughter. This is important, and never more so than when the mother isn’t necessarily sure how she happens to feel about the matter herself. Women, if your husband is setting boundaries with your children, that is not the time to question his position. Support publicly, discuss privately later.

Not an Islamic NATO: The Mecca Agreement Is Building the Post-American Security Architecture — and Iran Is About to Walk In

 

The Western commentariat filed the Mecca agreement under a comfortable heading. When Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement on August 7 — an armed attack on one to be treated as an attack on all — the reflexive label was “Islamic NATO,” a Sunni bloc, three of the Muslim world’s largest militaries welded together by sectarian identity. That reading was obsolete almost before the ink dried. What is actually taking shape is not a Sunni alliance against Iran. It is the first load-bearing beam of the post-American security architecture that Russia and China have been calling for — and Tehran is about to walk through the door.

The language was not accidental, and it did not originate in Riyadh. On April 27, in St. Petersburg, after meeting Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Vladimir Putin called for a new security architecture in the Persian Gulf. One week later, on May 5–6 in Beijing, after his own meeting with Araghchi, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said essentially the same thing — that Beijing supports the establishment of a regional peace and security architecture in which the regional countries themselves participate, safeguard common interests, and pursue common development. Araghchi, for his part, told Putin that Iran supports a new post-war regional architecture that can coordinate development and security.

Note the two nouns Araghchi paired: development and security. That pairing is the tell, and I will return to it. Russia has floated a collective security concept for the Gulf since 2019; Lavrov reiterated it on February 28, 2026 — the very day the war began. The consistent aim is a multilateral, regionally led framework that replaces the American defense umbrella over the Gulf, installs Moscow and Beijing as the guarantors alongside the regional states, and — crucially — treats Iran not as a threat to be contained but as a legitimate pillar of the order. As Araghchi paraphrased his Chinese hosts: Iran after the war is a different country, its standing improved, a new era of cooperation ahead.

Hold that blueprint in mind, and look again at Mecca.

Donald Trump, Iran, Nuclear Warfare, and Biological Warfare, by Ron Unz - The Unz Review
