On Reverse Migration - Vox Popoli

 President Trump is right to “permanently pause” immigration and demand reverse migration, including many of the naturalized foreigners who are now paper citizens of the USA. It’s the only way the various countries that have been subjected to mass immigration in the post-WWII period are going to survive as intact and functional polities going forward.

It won’t take 60 years to restore the demographics of the US population destroyed by the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act engineered by foreign interests, it can almost certainly be done in less than a decade. And while it would appear to be politically improbable, it is the only thing that might – possibly – permit the survival of the United States of America as a singular political entity without a violent authoritarian dictatorship that would make the worst totalitarian governments of the 20th century look mild by comparison.

I understand that Somalis would rather live at the expense of the Minnesota taxpayer than be forced to make their own way in Somalia. I am well aware that very few Jews actually want to live in the Jewish state of Israel, surrounded by their own kind. And most Africans have no more desire to go back to Africa than their ancestors wanted to be forcibly brought to the New World. But none of them have any right whatsoever to dwell among Americans, the Posterity for whom the U.S. Constitution was written and the only people whose rights it was intended to protect, particularly when their doing so is observably and inexorably against the national interests and the popular will of the American people.

The Coming AI Bust: Why Trump-O-Nomics Is Riding a Time Bomb - David Stockman

 It should be damn obvious that the current blistering AI bubble is setting up Wall Street, the US economy and Trump-O-Nomics for a thundering bust. The AI frenzy has now gotten so out of kilter that fully $140 billion or 76% of the $184 billion gain in real GDP during the first half of 2025 was accounted for by feverishly surging investments in AI-oriented GPUs, network gear, server farms and data centers...

....So the question recurs. What happens when (not if) the AI bubble crashes. The sheer certainty of the latter is due to the fact that the runaway stock market is generating so much artificial capital that the AI-oriented hyperscalers are operating straight out of the playbook of the late 1990s dotcom bubble. That is, they are injecting huge amounts of capital into start-ups, smaller customers and linked vendors in their supply chain eco-systems, thereby enabling the latter to buy from these same high flyers massive amounts of chips, network equipment, other gear and software for data centers and server farms. NVIDIA, Microsoft etc. can then report soaring sales and stupendous profits. That is, until the bubble finally bursts......

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/11/david-stockman/the-coming-ai-bust-why-trump-o-nomics-is-riding-a-time-bomb/ 

.....It goes without saying that a $650 billion decline in capital spending would also plunge the already struggling US economy deep into the recessionary drink, and do so at a time when there is no policy margin for error. That is to say, fiscal policy is already tapped out with $38 trillion of public debt and the Fed’s printing presses have already implanted 40 year high inflation in the price level of the US economy.

We’d say that what is coming down the pike, therefore, does not look much like the ballyhooed Golden Age the Donald and his MAGAphones so foolishly expect.

The Industrial Insanity of the Third Reich - Vox Popoli

 https://voxday.net/2025/11/30/the-industrial-insanity-of-the-third-reich/ 

In fact, the more that one looks at the Nazi program, the more totally insane its actions appear, and the more one begins to wonder if Hitler, like Zelensky, was merely an actor-puppet who was installed by whatever precursor to modern Clown World was active at the time in order to do what no sane and intelligent military leader would ever even think to do.

Then again, modern Germany’s actions appear no less insane, as it eschews inexpensive Russian oil even as its economy collapses despite the influx of third-world refugees who all the economists and scientists repeatedly vowed were good for it. It’s becoming increasingly obvious why France, Britain, and Germany are so desperate to keep Ukraine in the war it cannot win, as Ukraine is the only customer for the armaments industries that are presently keeping their sinking economies from going straight to the bottom.

No matter what the ideology is, the price of ignoring the rules of objective reality is always incoherency, followed by inevitable failure.

Hitler Ahoy: The Third Reich's Surface Fleet - Big Serge

 

The Sinking of the Bismarck, by Charles Edward Turner

When the Second World War began in September 1939, levels of preparedness varied widely across Europe, both across and within various leadership groups and institutions. War was met by the French and British with a general mood of grim resignation and by the Germans with a curious mixture of aggression and foreboding, while Poland saw its initial mood of punchy defiance and determination to defend itself melt in the face of an overwhelming German maneuver scheme and the Wehrmacht’s deadly new tactical package. Arguably, however, the military institution that was the most unprepared for this new war was neither the Polish, French, or British armies, but Germany’s own forgotten service arm: the navy.

The Kriegsmarine (War Navy) of the Third Reich was a curious institution rife with contradictions, resource wastage, and strategic confusion. Naval leadership nurtured ambitious dreams of a formidable Atlantic surface fleet, with little sense of either how such a grand fleet could fit into the timetables of German foreign policy, or the requisite material base to build it. There are few equivalent examples of such a yawning gap between military ambitions and reality: while the Kriegsmarine touted the famous “Z-plan” to construct a fleet of over 700 ships, capable of defending fortress Europe against the British (or American) navies, the German Navy in fact began the war with only a handful of capital ships, and its most famous operations generally involved only a single vessel, or at most a pair, desperately running for dear life.

In many ways, the German surface fleet became something like the perfect black hole for resources. In the prewar years, it began a nominally ambitious building program which was still in its infancy when the war began. Naval planners were explicitly preparing for a mid-century war, with construction programs targeting fulfillment in 1948. Consequentially, the navy was entirely unprepared for war in 1939, and the surface fleet never threatened to fulfill any meaningful strategic function. Yet the scale of the building program was sufficient for the navy to siphon meaningful financial and industrial resources from the ground forces and the Luftwaffe. This was an impressively titrated level of wastage: naval expenditures were large enough to weaken the other arms of the Wehrmacht, but too late and too little to make the navy into a useful arm in its own right. Furthermore, wasteful investments in surface ships, particularly capital ships, materially weakened the one element of the Kriegsmarine that did have a strategic function: the U-boats. The result was a force expensive enough to cannibalize the rest of the Wehrmacht (and itself) but far too immature and small to do anything useful on a strategic scale. In the one German campaign where the navy did play a pivotal role, the limited fighting destroyed most of the surface fleet.

SSH and Cliodynamics - by Vox Day - Sigma Game

 Cliodynamics is a transdisciplinary area of research that integrates cultural evolution, economic history/cliometrics, macrosociology, the mathematical modeling of historical processes during the longue durée, and the construction and analysis of historical databases.[

Cliodynamics treats history as science. Its practitioners develop theories that explain such dynamical processes as the rise and fall of empires, population booms and busts, and the spread and disappearance of religions. These theories are translated into mathematical models. Finally, model predictions are tested against data. Thus, building and analyzing massive databases of historical and archaeological information is one of the most important goals of cliodynamics.

Now, one of the hallmarks of cliodynamics is the overproduction of elites. This overproduction leads to disappointment and disaffection, which tends to provide a source of elite leadership to the masses which are similarly disaffected due to extreme wealth inequalities and declining economic prospects.

In SSH terms, three questions that arise in this context are as follows:

• Where are all the Alpha leaders of the past?

• Why are there so many obvious Gammas in positions of wealth, influence, and power?

• Are these two observations related to the historical process of societal collapse?

https://sigmagame.substack.com/p/ssh-and-cliodynamics?publication_id=2265630&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=y7h5a&utm_medium=email 

Now, cliodynamics focuses primarily on economics rather than cultural and social elements, but here is an area in which the SSH may be usefully applied to a scientific field, even if it is by doing nothing more than providing another red flag or indicator of social decline.

Certainly if one looks at the later Roman Empire, or indeed, any failing monarchy or democracy, one of the more obvious elements is the decline in SSH status on the part of the late-stage leaders in comparison with those who helped establish the polity. Indeed, the difference between the Senate leaders of Republican Rome and the various Caesars and Imperators of the failing Empire is hard to miss.

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine – The Occidental Observer

 Some things never change: According to NABU officials, the investigation uncovered a criminal enterprise run by Timur Mindich, (Jewish), a film producer and a former business partner of Zelenskyy.

Originally published, February 2023,

“At the same time, fifty Jewish families own 80% of all wealth. Where do you see the Ukrainian oligarch? I don’t know any. They are all Jews. Their wealth betrays their own bragging rights: Rolls-Royces, planes, castles, hotels, casinos owned in Monte Carlo. Aircraft and yachts under foreign flags. And, of course, they don’t pay taxes. And plants and factories were bought by them not at a real price, but stolen from the entire Ukrainian people.”
Serhiy Ratushniak, Former Mayor of Uzhhorod

With Russia now slowly escalating its ‘special military operation’ against Ukraine on the eve of its first anniversary, I find myself drawn once again to the complex but stark phenomenon of extreme Jewish corruption in the latter nation. While it’s become commonplace to note Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewishness, and perhaps also that of Volodymyr Groysman, the first Prime Minister to serve under Zelensky, I have yet to read a detailed discussion of the major Jewish players in the ongoing saga of Ukrainian oligarchy and its political affiliates. If anything, the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.

Speaking in general terms, of course, Ukraine is an extremely corrupt country, with the culture of fraud and graft stemming in large part from the Soviet legacy and saturating all levels of society. Crooks of all ethnic backgrounds are ubiquitous in the nation. Bribery is systematic, where it’s accepted as a basic fact of life by ordinary citizens and extends even to such mundane tasks as vehicle inspection. As well as infesting politics, bribery and other forms of corruption remain endemic in the police force, higher education, health care, and the justice system, with the result that Ukraine ranks alongside some of the worst African nations in Transparency International’s assessment of corruption perception. According to 2015 data, politically connected businesses accounting for less than 1 per cent of companies in Ukraine owned more than 25 per cent of all assets and accessed over 20 per cent of debt financing. In the capital-intensive mining, energy and transport sectors, politically connected businesses accounted for over 40 per cent of turnover and 50 per cent of assets.

Far from being the beacon of freedom presented to us now by the mass media, Ukraine is a nation bankrupt in social trust and well-accustomed to the yoke of exploitation. There has been little internal outcry over the massive trafficking of its women for sex, both inside and outside the country, with coastal cities such as Odessa becoming sex tourism hubs for the worst of the Turkish and Israeli middle classes. Ukraine now has the highest adult HIV prevalence outside Africa, with sexual contact outpacing injection drug use as the primary form of transmission since 2008. The National Institute on Drug Abuse points out that substance abuse in Ukraine has been at epidemic proportions for the last 15 years.

Ukraine is on multiple levels a deeply flawed and troubled state, and like any bloody carcass it has attracted its share of hyenas. I believe, however, that Jewish corruption in Ukraine, despite Jews only comprising around 0.5% of the Ukrainian population, is of a character significant enough to merit special attention. In the following essay I want to explore some of the key players and their interconnections, as well as to offer some thoughts on the reasons why anti-Jewish attitudes have not taken hold in Ukraine, and why they are unlikely to do so in the future......

...What kind of Ukraine will emerge from the ruins remains to be seen. What seems certain is that luxury homes in Florida, London, Geneva, and Tel Aviv will long continue to host those who’ve fattened themselves on Ukrainian money, and who continue to hoard their stolen profits while tens of thousands of body bags continue their somber transit to the graveyards of Kiev and Moscow.
