DEATH AND THE DEVIL hardcover

The hardcover edition of DEATH AND THE DEVIL is now available at Amazon, at Barnes and Noble, and your local bookstore. I also turned one of the stories, “Death and the Maiden”, into a song that you can listen to at AI Central if it happens to be of interest to you.

WHEN THE MAIDEN MEETS THE REAPER

Beneath Avignon’s ancient stones where mortals drink and dance,
A maiden stood inside of time, well-suited for romance
She glimpsed beyond the darkest veil where certainty takes form
The reaper in his fearsome grace, his presence strangely warm.
While others feared the final dark, she met his eyeless gaze,
And smiled upon that paradox: the end of numbered days.

Time and again, Death returned though duty didn’t call,
Compelled by something strange to gods both great and small
An immortal incarnation beyond mortality
She questioned him with humble words: “What troubles such as thee?”
No fear adorned her countenance, no reverence, no prayer—
Just a woman’s heart with a capacity to care

What strange communion finds the heart that sees its own eclipse?
What bride would seek eternity upon those bony lips?
The universe conspires in Creation’s cruel design
When the maiden meets the reaper, the last of the summer wine

5GW is the New Reality

There can be no question that the nature of modern warfare has been fundamentally changed by the new advances in military technology:

The revelations from this frontline soldier, one who has the rare claim to have shot down an incoming Russian drone attacking her patients, are chilling.

“You have had encounters with Nato training teams. You’ve talked to Nato when you’ve been back in Europe. Do you think that they’re ready for the next war with Russia?” The Independent asks her.

“No. No, I’m honestly a little bit terrified,” she replies – after more than 40 months at war here.

She goes on to explain: “If you were to talk to Nato military officials, they would reassure you that everything is under control, they’re well equipped, they’re well prepared. But I don’t think anyone can be prepared for a conflict like this. I don’t think anyone can.

Maciorowski has undergone training with Nato forces in the last year and says what they taught was relevant to Afghanistan and Iraq – not Ukraine.

“When I went to train with Nato, the factor of drones was not really filtered in. It was very much the tactics that were learnt in the previous war. And these tactics now do not apply because you’re not making a linear assault.

“Everything has changed with drones. And I don’t think it was factored in, at least not in this training,” she says in her secret medical evacuation headquarters…

“We are changing the structure of the war on the go,” says Oleksandr Yabchanka, commander of a drone unit in the Da Vinci Wolves, part of the 59th Brigade.

“There is bad news for Ukraine and Europe. Russia is adapting just like us. It is a colossal threat and very underestimated in Europe.”

A spokesperson for the British-led programme Operation Interflex said that 61,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been trained for “putting them in the strongest possible position as they resist ongoing Russian attacks”.

He said that Ukrainian military experts and drone operators had served as consultants to train soldiers going to war and that 91 per cent of Ukrainian soldiers who completed Nato’s basic training “feel more confident of their survivability at the end of the training”.

However, a recent study by Jack Watling at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) warns that Nato needs to catch up with understanding that war has changed.

The advent of small, deadly drones, often flown with first-person vision (FPV), frequently guided by fibre-optic cables, and capable of pinpoint accuracy far beyond what were considered front lines, has transformed conflict. Nato doctrine focuses on what it calls “combined arms manoeuvre”. This means an emphasis on the concentration of aircraft, armour, infantry and artillery with the aim to surprise and overwhelm an enemy.

That doesn’t work any more.

Dr Watling explains that “pervasive networks and sensors have made the ability to achieve surprise difficult”. Known as battlefield transparency, the modern surveillance of battlefields means that an unexpected attack is almost impossible.

On top of that, “the ubiquity of precision weapons” makes concentrated forces vulnerable to “rapid attrition”.

Armoured vehicles, engineering equipment, electronics warfare kit – it can all be spotted and picked off with ease, and over long distances. This means that the front lines are wide, deep, shattered and almost empty of infantry.

If you want to better understand what’s happening in Ukraine and why NATO is totally unprepared for war with Russia, I strongly recommend reading my essay: The Fifth Generation of Modern War: Drones, Attrition, and the Collapse of the Logistics Sanctuary.

Revolt in Mexico

An uprising against the Clown World government in Mexico:

Several thousand people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest crime, corruption and impunity in a demonstration organized by members of Generation Z, but which ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.

The demonstration was mostly peaceful but ended with some young people clashing with the police. Protesters attacked police with stones, fireworks, sticks and chains, grabbing police shields and other equipment. The capital’s security secretary, Pablo Vázquez. said 120 people were injured, 100 of them police officers. Twenty people were arrested.

It appears that the mainstream media is attempting to minimize the extent and intensity of the protests.

  • CHAOS is breaking out as anti-cartel Mexicans breach the security wall in Mexico City. They were spotted calling President Sheinbaum “NARCO-PRESIDENT.” This is what happens when you let your country get hijacked by the cartels.
  • Battle in Mexico City. In the main square, Zócalo, while patriots battle with police protecting the Presidential Palace. Officers launch tear gas and bullets! . Mexico rises up against Sheinbaum!!
  • The Mexican anti-cartel Gen Z rebellion has reached Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidential palace in Mexico City. The crowd has torn down the wall she built a few days ago and is now trying to get past the riot police who have taken cover in an ancient Roman testudo (turtle) formation

It would appear that the Aztecs and the Argentines are considerably less inclined to submit to Jewish rule and its idiosyncracies than Americans, who for the most part have blithely accepted the limitations being imposed upon their God-given, Constitutionally-protected rights to have an opinion about past and present events and not engage in commerce with whom they please.

China Warns Japan

The first female Prime Minister of Japan has already managed to seriously put her foot in it with regards to the island of Taiwan.

Japan will suffer a “crushing defeat” by the Chinese military if it tries to use force to intervene over Taiwan, China’s defense ministry said on Friday, ramping up the rhetoric over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about the island. Takaichi sparked a diplomatic row with Beijing with comments in parliament last week that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could amount to a “survival-threatening situation” and trigger a military response from Tokyo.

China’s top diplomat in Osaka shared a news article about Takaichi’s remarks about Taiwan on X and commented “the dirty neck that sticks itself in must be cut off”, prompting a protest from Japan’s embassy in Beijing to Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong.

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said that Takaichi’s words were extremely irresponsible and dangerous. “Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed People’s Liberation Army and pay a heavy price,” Jiang said in a statement.

On Thursday, Sun summoned Japan’s Ambassador to China, Kenji Kanasugi, to lodge a “strong protest” over Takaichi’s remarks.

The Chinese have already issued a travel alert concerning Japan and the Foreign Ministry has made it clear that the new Prime Minister is an obvious concern of the Chinese government.

People’s Daily: Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said last week that the mainland’s use of force on Taiwan could constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan. It’s reported that during Diet deliberations, Sanae Takaichi said her remark is in line with the government’s position and she will not retract it. What’s China’s comment?

Lin Jian: In the Diet last week, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made provocative remarks on Taiwan which imply the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Despite China’s serious démarches and protests, she still refused to change course and take back what she had said. The wrongful remarks grossly violate the one-China principle, the guiding principles set forth in the four China-Japan political documents, and the basic norms of international relations. That constitutes a blatant interference in China’s internal affairs, a challenge to China’s core interests, and infringement on China’s sovereignty. China firmly opposes and will by no means tolerate such remarks. The Japanese side must correct its wrongdoing at once and retract the unjustified remarks. Otherwise, all the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the Japanese side. 

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. It is also the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. Japan committed innumerable crimes during its colonial rule in Taiwan. Over the last century, Japanese militarists have waged aggression more than once under the pretext of “survival-threatening situation.” For example, Japan brazenly created the September 18th Incident under the pretext of exercising the right of self-defense. Its aggression against China inflicted untold suffering on the people of China, the rest of Asia, and the wider world. What’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi up to by reviving the phrase “survival-threatening situation”? Is Japan going to repeat its past mistakes of militarism? Does Japan try to once again make enemy with the Chinese and other Asian people? Does Japan attempt to subvert the post-WWII international order?

Taiwan belongs to China. How to resolve the Taiwan question and realize national reunification is a matter for the Chinese people to decide and brooks no interference by any external force. The attempt by the leader of Japan to wade into cross-Strait affairs is a serious affront to international justice, a blatant provocation to the post-WWII order, and a great blow to China-Japan relations. If Japan dares to attempt an armed intervention in the cross-Strait situation, it would be an act of aggression and definitely meet a firm response from China. We will firmly exercise our right to self-defense under the U.N. Charter and international law and defend China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our message to Japan is clear: Japan must fully repent for its war crimes, immediately stop its wrong and provocative statements and moves that interfere in China’s internal affairs, and stop playing with fire on the Taiwan question. Those who play with fire will perish by it!

It’s abundantly clear that the LDP did a deal with the Clown World devil in order to retain power despite its minority status, as both Takaichi and her predecessor aligned themselves and their party with Japan’s occupiers, who plan to use Japan as their primary fortress in Asia against China.

So, rather like Americans, the Japanese are desperate for a leader who will restore their demographics and instead find themselves saddled with another Clown World puppet pushing them into wars of zero interest for the people.

It is Good to Hate the Boomer

So, we’ve finally reached the first Boomer cartoon in the Hypergamouse series on Sigma Game. In less than FIVE MINUTES from the new post going live:

Boomers were generations in the making. You have the wrong target and your hatred will get you to a place you don’t want to be.

The Boomers simply never grew up. They’re entering their 80s now and they still can’t take any responsibility for their own collective actions across more than sixty years of putative adulthood. Our hatred is not at all misplaced; God himself hates the wicked. Moreover, He appears to harbor particular hate for wicked generations who don’t care for, or about, the succeeding generations.

The Boomers collectively denied the faith and are worse than infidels. So it should not be a surprise that the judgment of the younger generations is falling so hard on them. Or that, by and large, they remain wholly unrepentant.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. – 1 Timothy 5:8

Get Them Out Now

Donald Trump tells Britain and Europe to deport their migrants or lose their countries:

Speaking last night, Trump turned his attention to the immigration debate in the UK and said: ‘When you have people coming into your country and they’re bad people the wrong people it doesn’t work and it’s not working.

‘If you don’t get them out you’re not going to have a county left.’

Adding that immigration is ‘more important than inflation’ he said: ‘You have to take them out, you have to take them back immediately…

The President also hit out at Europe, saying it is ‘not the same place’ amid mass migration.

‘I’m saddened to see what happened in Europe with the immigration. I think above all else, the immigration, but the bad taxing policies,’ he said.

‘When you look at, you know, Europe is not the same place. I can’t say every place, but pretty much almost every place. 

The President is obviously not wrong, but his approach is still too little, too late, too civic nationalist. If the USA, the UK, and the European states are going to remain viable in a world of resurgent nationalism increasingly dominated by China and Russia, they are going to have to restore their demographic balances to something much more akin to what they were in the 1950s, prior to Windrush, the Gastarbeiten, and the Merkel migration.

Illegal immigrants are a problem. Legal immigration from incompatible nations, religions, and cultures is a much bigger one, particularly when it stems from nations that are larger than the invaded nation. That conservative “it’s not the immigration, it’s the illegality” was always evasive rhetoric that obscured the issue and allowed people to pretend they were addressing the problem when they were actually enabling it. Prioritizing being seen as being nice is neither an effective means of determining government policy nor is it a responsible one.

Some nations will restore their demographics, sooner or later. Some won’t, and those that don’t will disappear into the trash heap of history in a cloud of chaos, crime, and economic collapse.

It’s not a game. The Enlightenment progressive equalitarian philosophy is a complete and comprehensive failure. It’s time for everyone to stop pretending it provides any forms of moral imperative or even a functional basis for a civilized society.

Nuclear Rhetoric

The man who lived by the meme is now dying by it.

It certainly cannot be argued that either the first or the second Trump administration has even begun to make the USA America again, much less make America great again.

This doesn’t mean it was wrong, stupid, or foolish to have had hope. It just means that most men fail in the end, regardless of what their intentions might have been.

Nick Fuentes is Literally Retarded

Supporter: Nick, would you support a literacy test for more informed voting?

Nick Fuentes: If we did that, every election would be a Democrat landslide…

Fuentes is an ignorant retard. The fact that Republicans are, on average, more intelligent, more educated, wealtheir, and more literate than Democrats is logically obvious because Republicans are predominantly of European descent while essentially all Africans and most Hispanics vote Democrat. The low-IQ subsection of the Democratic Party’s base considerably outnumbers the high-IQ subsction. His inability to grasp the demographic essence of the two mainstream parties demonstrates his observable lack of intelligence.

His ignorance, on the other hand, is demonstrated by the fact that he clearly never spent two seconds looking into the matter before spouting an incorrect opinion in ignorance.

Carl (2014) analysed data from the U.S. General Social Survey (GSS), and found that individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat. This study examines three other measures of cognitive ability from the GSS: a test of probability knowledge, a test of verbal reasoning, and an assessment by the interviewer of how well the respondent understood the survey questions. In all three cases, individuals who identify as Republican score slightly higher than those who identify as Democrat; the unadjusted differences are 1–3 IQ points, 2–4 IQ points and 2–3 IQ points, respectively.

And the adjusted difference is over 5 IQ points. Now, it’s true that both the academic elite and the media elite skew heavily Left and Democrat. But they are not the cognitive elite! In fact, anyone who is smarter than their 2 SD ceiling tends to be banished from the academic and media ranks because they are too intelligent to be capable of mindlessly parroting the current narrative and talking points. This is believed to be related to what is described as the “2SD IQ communications gap” that posits effective and reliable communication is essentially impossible between individuals with an IQ difference of more than 30 points.

So the mere fact that someone has a career in the media or academia is virtually tantamount to conclusive proof that they are not even Mensa material.

Furthermore, it makes no material difference which faction of the bi-factional ruling party is in office since they pursue the same objectives and answer to the same masters, and the inevitable end result will be the same either way. Which, some of you will recall, is something I pointed out more than two decades ago.

The Banned Interview

The Italian media spiked this interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for some reason:

Corriere della Sera: Units of the Russian Armed Forces are currently controlling less territory than in 2022, several weeks into what you call a special military operation. If you are truly prevailing why can’t you deliver a decisive strike? Could you also explain why you are not publicising official losses?

Sergey Lavrov: The special military operation is not a war for territories but an operation to save lives of millions of people who have lived on those territories for centuries and whom the Kiev junta seeks to eradicate – legally, by prohibiting their history, language and culture, and physically, by using Western weapons. Another important goal of the special military operation is to ensure Russia’s security and to undermine the plans of NATO and the EU to create a hostile puppet state at our western borders that, by law and in reality, relies on Nazi ideology. It is not the first time we have stopped fascist and Nazi aggressors. That happened during World War II and it will happen again.

Unlike Westerners who have wiped out entire neighbourhoods, we are sparing people – both civilians and military personnel. Our armed forces are acting extremely responsibly and delivering high-precision strikes exclusively at military targets and associated transport and energy infrastructure.

It is not customary to publicise battlefield losses. I can only say that this year, Russia has transferred over 9,000 bodies of Ukrainian personnel in repatriation. We have received 143 bodies of our fighters from Ukraine. You can come to your own conclusions.

This isn’t, and has never been, a conventional war about territory and the industrial slaughter of civilians. Even if the Russians hadn’t been consistently telling everyone that for nearly four years, it’s entirely obvious from their conduct of the Special Military Operation.

If the Russians ever decide to go to actual war with NATO or the EU, the difference will be very, very clear to everyone.

The Deadly Moon Hoax

I don’t believe that Man ever went to the Moon. I don’t believe the Apollo landings were real; it’s beyond obvious at this point that they were faked in a studio. But for those who still cling to the idea that the Moon landings of the 1960s couldn’t have been faked, understand just how seriously the US government protected its hoax at the time.

I interviewed the widow of the man who was going to be the first man to walk on the moon, Virgil Grissom. He was the most beloved of all the astronauts. I interviewed his widow for four hours.

It’s her opinion, not mine, with 100% certainty that he was murdered by the CIA for not cooperating with fraud in the Apollo program. She told me so. She said on January 26, 1967, he came home from work and said this, Han, for some strange reason, the CIA is all over the launch pad today inspecting the equipment.

I’ve been here three years, he said. They’ve never been here before. Why did they show up today? The very next day, he’s dead from faulty equipment.

Because a few days before this, he held a press conference without permission when he took a bunch of reporters up to the top of the rocket and affixed a lemon the size of a grapefruit to the top of the Apollo rocket, calling it a piece of junk. He was preparing reports, according to his widow, to give to Congress and the Senate that the CIA confiscated from his house the day he died before they even informed his widow that he had died. He knew they were 10 years or more away from going to the moon.

He would not participate in the fraud and they killed him. So this is why the two of the three astronauts, you know, act kind of bizarre and don’t like giving interviews. This is why at their first and only press conference, they look like they’re at the funeral of their mother instead of the winning locker room of the Super Bowl.

At this point, if you still believe in the Moon landings, you’re pretty much left in the company of those who genuinely believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman responsible for killing JFK and that Drew Pearson didn’t commit offensive pass interference in the 1975 NFC playoffs.
