Xi's Delicate Warning - Vox Popoli

 It’s always interesting to see how far ahead of US politicians the Chinese leaders are, particularly President Xi, who is fully cognizant on the discussions of Western intellectuals, while I doubt any US politicians, with the possible exception of JD Vance, have ever heard of Wang Hunin, much less Qiao Liang or Wang Xiangsui

Inside the Great Hall, Xi opened the talks with an ominous reference to the so-called Thucydides Trap, the ancient Greek historian’s account of Athens and Sparta, and the danger when an established power feels threatened by a rising civilization.....

....So, it’s interesting that Xi is laying out the problem directly for Trump, as he’s making it very clear that China is the rising power and the USA is the fading one, which directly contradicts all of Trump’s bombastic rhetoric.

The problem, of course, is that there is an X factor involved, which is Clown World. The Thucydides Trap was avoided when the center of power was transferred from London to Washington DC because the same satanic powers remained in control. But Xi prevented the plans for a similar transfer from Washington to Beijing because the Chinese do not wish to be ruled by itinerant devil-worshippers; they had their fill of that following the Mongol invasion, to say nothing of the Century of Humiliation they recently endured at the hands of that very ruling elite.

So, there are two obvious paths, although there may be more. One, the USA accepts China’s rise embraces American nationalism, and throws off Clown World rule. That would be the desirable path, and most likely the one that Xi would support. Two, the USA continues being ridden by Clown World until it expires, defeated and bankrupt, and breaks apart, as I first publicly predicted in 2004.

I think we’ll have a pretty good idea which path has been chosen after Trump returns from China and we see if the USA continues fighting Israel’s war against Iran et al or if it withdraws from the Middle East and allows China to force a peace settlement in Iran’s favor.

Iran Neither Retaliates Nor Negotiates - Meyssan

 We don’t understand Iran’s position vis-à-vis the United States and its allies at all: the Iranian people are not surprised by the war. They expected it, given their anti-imperialist stance. They are not so much interested in negotiating an end to hostilities as in establishing a new international order. They are willing to suffer to advance their own agenda. Washington may win militarily, but it is Tehran that is making political progress...

.....Before our very eyes, the old Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini did not seek to recover his property, which had been plundered by the Shah, but upon his arrival in Tehran, called on the army to side with the people and all the Iranian people to side with the oppressed.

That is what Iran is doing today.

From the outset, Iran was aware that it could not shoot down the Israeli-American air force. Its armed forces did manage to destroy some bombers in flight, but Iran chose instead to demonstrate to its Gulf Arab allies that the colonial powers were exploiting them. It attacked US military bases in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar. It explained to each of these states that they were complicit in US aggression because they had ceded parts of their territory to the Pentagon, which was using it for its own purposes.

This time Iran is addressing us: we are complicit in a policy aimed at starving it, and we were unaware of it. Just as Germany, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bulgaria, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Romania, and the United Kingdom are complicit in the military aggression without ever having chosen to join it.

We will have to choose: either continue to starve the Iranians, pretending not to be aware of it, or free ourselves from the United States.

The Secret Jewish Lobby Behind Trump’s First Step Act, by Jose Alberto Nino - The Unz Review

 Tucker Carlson stood before his primetime audience in July 2019 and delivered a blistering indictment of the First Step Act, the criminal justice reform law that President Trump had signed just months earlier. Carlson claimed the law “has allowed hundreds of violent criminals and sexual predators back on the street” and cited statistics suggesting that nearly 500 of the roughly 2,200 released inmates had been imprisoned on weapons or explosives charges while another 239 had committed sex offenses. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), one of only 12 senators who voted against the bill, appeared alongside Carlson and declared “I didn’t believe it… because I read the bill. Good intentions sometimes have nothing to do with actual consequences.”

What Carlson did not mention, and what few Americans understood, was that the First Step Act was not primarily a product of mainstream prison reform advocacy groups. Its conceptual origins, ground-level lobbying, and political momentum were driven by a tight network of Chabad Lubavitch-affiliated activists and Orthodox Jewish organizations operating under a theological framework rooted in the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe....

https://www.unz.com/jnino/the-secret-jewish-lobby-behind-trumps-first-step-act/ 

....The First Step Act was never about the abstract notion of “justice”; it was about the successful assertion of a particular ethnic agenda within the heart of the federal government. When the Bureau of Prisons begins legitimizing Torah study as a formal tool for early release, it confirms that the American state is being operated as a subsidiary of Jewish interests.

This reality reveals that Donald Trump’s administration was merely a different vehicle for the same trajectory of gentile dispossession, one that effectively laundered special-interest legislation through the machinery of the GOP. At the end of the day, Trump’s presidency, from his foreign policy to domestic policy, must be viewed as a vessel to advance the interests of organized Jewry and no one else.

Once we acknowledge all U.S. presidents since the end of World War II are golems, then we can have a serious political conversation. Blindness to who truly wields power in Washington guarantees the perpetuation of Jewish supremacy. For those of European extraction, this willful ignorance ensures a future as mere cattle, eventually erased from the map by the very Jewish power configuration they refuse to name.

Yes, It Will Blow - Denninger

 The market, that is.

$NVDA has a "market cap" (market value) in excess of $5 trillion and at the moment the market has added $200 billion, or one fourth of last year's entire US defense budget, to that number in approximately two hours.

To put this in perspective that "value" is greater than any of the gross domestic product (all goods and services) for 2026 save two: China and the US.

It is also greater than the sum of any two below the 7th nation globally (which is France.)

If you believe one company has an actual value that large you've got rocks in your head equivalent to those who believed that Tulips were worth a near-infinite amount of money (despite simply being a flower) or that all the firms in the Internet space in the 1990s would amount to five times or more the GDP of the world.

It was not true either of those times and will not be true this time.

Often a Lie - by Rev. Matthew Littlefield

 Often the official story is a lie concocted by corrupt officials to cover up some kind of crime or evil on their part,

“11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day” (Matt. 28:11-15).

This is a major lesson in the Bible. The Bible is full of active conspiracies and the authors of the Bible go into a lot of detail describing the means and methods of conspirators. It is, in fact, a central theme in Scriptures and how it talks about evil. It is also central to the narratives of both King David, and the Davidic King Jesus.

This is a major lesson in history. Any student of history knows this.

Yet this truth about our world is very much denied by many Christians. Even though our own Lord was killed in an evil conspiracy, and they attempted to deny his resurrection with an extension of that conspiracy. Still many people refuse to accept that this is a major part of our world.

This does not mean that any given conspiracy is true. But it does mean we live in a world of lies, and that often those in charge of anything from a business, an organization, a church, or even society up to the top levels of government, will lie to cover up their real intentions. We should not automatically trust.

Coincidentally, sociopaths are much more highly represented in leadership positions than general society. Just an interesting fact...

There is a chapter on this in my book Like a Roaring Lion, at Lockepress.com

Treating Depression as a Whole-Body Disease (Part3)

 The Five Axes of Depression

Depression can be understood across five key biological domains:

1. Inflammation

2. Metabolism

3. Neurotransmission & neuroplasticity

4. Circadian rhythm

5. Gut–brain axis & micronutrients

Each contributes to the illness.

Each must be addressed.

War On Iran: – U.S. Experiencing Price Increases – Moon of Alabama

 After several wars and decades of sanctions Iran is well versed in how to sustain under economic pressure. Its people and government know of the larger picture. Price fluctuations are inconveniences but do not change the will of the people.

The U.S. on the other side is rather fragile. Even only mildly unconformable circumstances will lead to political pressure. One percent more or less of inflation will change the election chances for this or that party.

The consequences of the blockade of Hormuz are starting to come in:

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/05/war-on-iran-u-s-experiencing-price-increases.html 

Even if the Strait would reopen tomorrow it would take twelve to eighteen months for oil wells to be pumped again, storages to be refilled and production chains to go back to normal. As the conflict is likely to re-ignite we can expect years of supply problems.

Today’s increase of CPI and PPI numbers is just the beginning of larger increases in the cost of living.

To Black People: You Owe WHITES Reparations - Denninger

 I'm tired of this bull**** out of so-called "repressed" blacks.

The facts are:

• For thousands of years your forefathers and mine looked out over the precise same ocean.  But they did not dream of the same things.  Mine dreamt of lands beyond the sea where riches were believed to exist.  There was no evidence for this, but they dreamed of it anyway.  They then dreamed of tall ships that could cross said oceans, constructed them, and came here.  Your forefathers never dreamed of a single thing beyond the horizon with sufficient mental power to devise a way to find out; while mine obviously spent some of their time ****ing rather than dreaming of lands beyond the horizon yours spent all of it doing so.  That is not my shortcoming, it is yours.
  
  
• Both black people in Africa and white people in Europe had plenty of raw materials with which to build things.  In fact, Africans had more of them and an easier climate to live in.  Yet white people built structures of many stories out of durable materials, like cathedrals, they would never personally set foot in with some of them taking hundreds of years to complete.  The black people in Africa created nothing much more-complex than a hut.  Not one tall ship, not a single sail, not a single tall and large building made of stone and timber.  Its not that there was a resource problem involved in this: The issue was simply that not enough black people didn't then and don't today think beyond the next 10 minutes and thus the few who were thinkers never  made it happen there despite not a single white man having yet come into contact with said black people.  Your forefathers, in short, made those choices by their own hands and that very attitude persists in a huge percentage of you today, not because of "repression" but entirely because of your personal choices.....

M.I.G.A. in the woodpile, by Thomas Zaja - The Unz Review

 Unsurprisingly, social media in recent weeks has been awash with sobering testimonials from Americans of all walks of life who have finally realized that their team has actually been the bad guys all along. Those in active duty appear to have come to the same conclusion, because two incidents of fires on US Navy carriers suggest sabotage from war-shy personnel. It’s been a real treat to watch average Americans call to account not just the Levins and Shapiros, but all of the Shabbos goyim on the AIPAC payroll – folks like Mike Johnson, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Rick Scott. Meanwhile the popularity of Thomas Massie is skyrocketing.

'Ways of war' are in metamorphosis: Lessons from the Iran war, by Alastair Crooke - The Unz Review - ( It ain't 1980 anymore! - CL)

 https://www.unz.com/acrooke/ways-of-war-are-in-metamorphosis-lessons-from-the-iran-war/ 

The western model can provide devastating damage – of that there is no doubt – but its lack of surgical application is also counter-productive in an age of mass media and smartphone photography that testify to civilian death, destruction and suffering.

The second point is that the West remains a cumbersome giant that has failed to understand – let alone anticipate – the new asymmetric war. Innovation has been stymied by the consolidation of the Military Industrial Complex into a few bureaucratic monopolies.

The western way of war is a bust model when ranged against a sophisticated asymmetric opponent.

But others have indeed noticed the lessons from the Iran war. Russia is one; China is another. There will be more. The West can expect to see the lessons surface in different garbs in the West’s other wars.

The European élites may find that their facilitation of Ukrainian drone attacks deep into Russia may draw a different (kinetic) response in the near future. The warnings have been issued. Will they be heard?

Why Can’t People Get Along? - (I will support our troops again when they mutiny against their commanders who serve DaSynagogue of Satan! - CL)

 “Nothing will end war unless the peoples themselves refuse to go to war.” ~ Albert Einstein

The war to end war

In All Quiet on the Western Front, author Erich Maria Remarque presents war as a spiritual and physical hell — a triumph of duplicitous abstractions.  In memoir-like fashion Paul Baumer tells how he and his German classmates signed up for the Great War after hearing patriotic speeches at school.  But the horror of trench warfare and living conditions soon changed them.  “We are none of us more than twenty years old. But young? Youth? That is long ago. We are old folk.”.....

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/05/george-f-smith/why-cant-people-get-along/ 

When [Christmas Eve] came, opposing troops . . . called to each other from trench to trench and sang. A French soldier wrote to his mother that after they first met with the enemy, they chorused, each in his own language, “À bas la guerre!”—Down with the war!

A more stunning example of gross insubordination would be hard to find.

For one brief moment in 1914, the soldiers stopped seeing uniforms and began seeing faces again.  If only they had managed to keep up their mutinous spirit until the war was aborted, we would have had every reason to thank them for their service each and every year.

Replacement Migration is Real - Vox Popoli

 https://voxday.net/2026/05/13/replacement-migration-is-real/ 

It’s good that the USA is finally rejecting Clown World’s attempt to subject the Christian West to invasion and its goal to repopulate the West with non-Western, non-Christian foreigners. But rejection replacement migration is no longer enough in light of decades of foreign invasion, remigration is now an absolute priority if America and the European nations are going to survive without resorting to Israeli levels of genocide.

Lest you object to that characterization of the Israeli actions in Gaza, consider how you would describe it if the USA subjected its foreign migrants to precisely the same treatment that the Israeli government has provided the people of Gaza: a proportional effort would require deporting 33 million migrants and killing 10.5 million of them.

Now, considering that the Israelis are already doing this without even being banned from Eurovision or suffering any other consequences, can we really doubt that other countries are, sooner or later, going to follow the Israeli example when they hold far greater claims to their own lands than the Israelis have ever had to Gaza?

Reddit Takes on PROBABILITY ZERO - Vox Popoli

 There are flaws in PROBABILITY ZERO. There are mistakes. There aren’t very many, to be sure, but there are a few. That’s why I’m working on the second edition now, to address those little flaws and mistakes, and to bring the book up-to-date with the very latest scientific studies. At Reddit, a number of the regulars on the r/DebateEvolution have collectively assembled a 333-comment thread to refute a book that none of them have read. This is, of course, the safest way to refute a book if one is primarily concerned with convincing oneself instead of anyone who has actually read it. The critiques come in a recognizable pattern, as each objection sounds authoritative and self-assured, and each one collapses the moment it is checked against what the book actually says and the available scientific evidence.....

https://voxday.net/2026/05/13/reddit-takes-on-probability-zero/ 

......The Failure of the Redditors

Each individual objection sounds vaguely plausible if you don’t understand it. None of them survives even rudimentary examination. The pattern is consistent: the critics have constructed a version of the book they can refute, instead of engaging with the version that exists. They attack a one-step random assembly model the book doesn’t use. They cite parallel fixation calculations that violate Haldane’s constraint. They wave at speciation events that bypass the Darwinian mechanism. They invoke whole genome duplications that don’t apply to the ape lineage. They appeal to the institutional consensus and call it refutation.

The book’s central claim is arithmetic. Either the fastest empirically measured fixation rate, applied across the available time, can produce the observed divergence — or it can’t. The arithmetic says it can’t, by four to six orders of magnitude depending on how generously you count.

The Reddit critics haven’t shown the arithmetic of PROBABILITY ZERO is wrong. They’ve only shown they don’t want to do the math themselves.
