The Collapse

Men Staying Single

A recent survey found that 63% of men aged 18-29 are remaining single. There is much hand wringing and guessing as to why that is. I can tell you. The number of single young men is nearly twice that of single young women, indicating a large breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual lives of American men.

  • Many women are gold diggers, who only want a sugar daddy.
  • Far too many women don’t know what loyalty is. They will cheat in a New York minute.
  • It’s a minefield of which woman you date secretly has a dick.
  • Many women are promiscuous. Why buy the cow?
  • In the workplace, it’s career suicide to even talk to a woman.

The article I linked to is trying to place this at the feet of men, claiming that men have an unrealistic view of women and of relationships because men have objectified women. Bullshit. It’s women doing the objectifying. Why else are so many women making money on Only Fans?

The Law, Justice, and Insurgency

Aesop responds to my post on the destruction of the rule of law, and it brought to mind some interesting thoughts on the law, or more accurately the reasons why faith in the law is deliberately being undermined.

The law, and by extension law enforcement, exists to ensure that people get a fair trial and a punishment that is proportionate to the crime. In order for the law to work, the people that the law is supposed to represent have to believe that the law is fair and just.
Once law fails in that responsibility, or in the absence of law, the people will take the law into their own hands. What we have here is an entire segment of the population (blacks) who believe that the law is unfair and doesn’t protect them. Right or wrong, perception is reality. So they are taking the law into their own hands.
Once that becomes widespread, the targets of their version of justice can either capitulate or push back. In either case, the widespread disillusionment with the law is exactly what those who would bring down the nation want. As I have been pointing out for three years now, the left is following the CIA insurgency manual almost to the letter. What we are seeing here is the result of Fifth Generation Warfare.

The final stage of the overthrow of a government is easy to see in retrospect, but difficult to see while it is happening. Scholars have identified signals of this crisis state to include a decisive loss of legitimacy by the government, financial collapse, breakdown in authority, strong symbolic actions, and perception of dual sovereignty or provisional authority, among others. It begins modestly- assassinations, disappearances, unexplained deaths that aren’t fully investigated, and seemingly random attacks.

The goal of the insurgency is twofold: to convince the citizens that the government is powerless or unwilling to protect them, and that the insurgents ARE and WILL protect them. They need to create a failure of basic government services, like the rule of law. When enough people become restless and convinced that the rule of law has failed, that critical mass of people will look for a savior. That is when those who would overthrow the government step forward and offer to do what the people think that the government cannot.

This story has played out again and again. It isn’t my idea. Every single bit of this plan is right out of the CIA insurgency manual. You can find a PDF copy of it on the “training manuals” page, linked right at the top of this blog. Heck, the CIA weren’t the first to use it. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” which in itself followed Lenin’s “Stages of a Revolution,” which was also a modification of Mao’s own theories on Communist revolutions. Hitler did it, too, although the Germans and their “Beer Hall Putsches” turned it into a national sport before Hitler was even a Corporal.

As I pointed out this morning, things are gonna suck. All we can do is ride it out. Just try to live long enough to read about it in a history book.

The Days to Come

It’s becoming more and more obvious that the system of government that we have is failing. The way things are just can’t continue, and anything that can’t continue, won’t. Things are going to get bad. I know there are some who think that things are horrible already.

You haven’t seen anything, yet.

There haven’t been purges. The secret police haven’t yet begun to round people up in the middle of the night. There are no death squads.

We may wind up in a civil war. We may even wind up in a Communist Dictatorship with Biden as the nominal head of the party. Know that there is nothing that you can do about it. What is gonna happen is what will happen. The people reading this blog just aren’t in position or power to prevent it.

What you are in control of is how prepared you are to deal with it, and how you deal with it. There are going to be real tests of your resolve, your character, your will to survive. Now is the time to finish preparing. Now is the time to figure out who you can trust, and who you need to keep at arms’ length.

Just know that you are not alone. There are millions of people who feel the same as you do, even when you feel like all is lost. They will try to convince you otherwise. Organize locally. Make friends. Keep your eyes open, and learn. Take notes. Know your neighbors. Not just your allies, but learn who will be an informer, who will be an enemy, and who is just an NPC. Hide your preps.

How long do we have? We don’t know. It may be a year, it may be ten. One thing is for sure, when it does all go south, it will seem to have done so with blinding speed. Be ready.

Let Them Eat Cake

Two days ago, I was worried that Biden was nationalizing the banks. Nope. The reality is even worse. The Biden administration is only ensuring that depositors who support the Democrats are being bailed out. The rest of America can just fuck right off, as far as this administration is concerned. Janet Yellen announced that the Treasury will NOT be bailing out large depositors in any banks that collapse in the future. This is causing a MASSIVE run on small and mid sized banks as depositors rush to get their money out and into larger banks like Chase, BoA, and Wells Fargo, while simultaneously causing stock holders in the banking industry to sell their holdings like they are worthless, which they soon will be. What you are seeing is the early stages of the destruction of the US banking sector.

What makes this even scarier is when you ask yourself why they are doing this? It’s almost like it is deliberate, and it’s also as if the Democrats aren’t worried about consequences. The last time the Democrats acted so unconcerned, they stole the 2020 election.

Even scarier is that it’s happening everywhere, not just the USA.

Violence Becomes More Likely Than Not

With the news that law students and faculty at Stanford Law School shouted down a visiting appeals court justice, preventing him from delivering the speech that he had been asked to give at the school, we see that even prestigious law schools don’t want to hear from anyone from the other side of the political aisle.

Couple that with faculty and students being attacked by a virtual lynch mob of other students because of their political beliefs, I just can’t see any other possible result on the horizon than the outbreak of outright hostilities.

The ever increasing animosity and violence has been ramping up for years. Reminiscent of the period before the Civil War when fistfights erupted on the floor of Congress. Outside of Congress, people would attack and beat their Representatives in the street.

Even Politico sees the parallels between now and the 1850’s. The difference here is that Politico is blaming the right for the violence, and using the attack on Paul Pelosi as evidence. Of course, we know that the Pelosi attack was his gay lover attacking Pelosi. Even if you DON’T believe the gay lover story, there is no evidence that the attack had anything to do with politics.

Even in the days before the American Revolution, there was violence. Keep in mind that in those days, those who lived in North America were all of the same country. That didn’t stop British soldiers from raping and killing local women. Colonists would tar and feather tax collectors before burning down the tax collector’s house.

Wars between citizens of a same country are especially bitter because of the similarities between combatants. Like a couple that has been married for too long, each party knows how to hurt the other, and they do.

In the current day conflict, we are seeing an extension of the conflict of the Civil War: does one side in a political debate have the power to force the other side to do their bidding? The Civil War was one of country farmers in the south versus the industrial city dwellers of the north. The south didn’t have the industrial base to win the war. In today’s case, it will be the country and suburban counties versus the heavily populated cities. Will the cities have the industrial base to win?

Who knows, but the last Civil War was the bloodiest we have ever had. The next one will be even worse.

The Question that Unravels Us

This morning, I saw a stary about how the Democrat party in Florida is being torn apart. The problem is this- there are two factions in the Democrat party. On the one side, you have the hardcore left. They want full on communism, they want the woke agenda- including trannies chasing after kids while wagging their dicks at them. On the other side of the party, you have the party base- they are the people who want the government to care for them without being too overbearing. They want to raise their kids. The base is largely patriotic, and even if me and my readers don’t agree with them, we really aren’t that different from one another.

The two sides don’t see the same things when they look at America, and it’s tearing the party to pieces. The hardcore left is leaving Florida because the mainstream Democratic party isn’t far enough to the left. This group is headed to Washington, California, Massachusetts, the lefty bastions.

The same thing is happening to the Republicans. The establishment Republicans, represented by the likes of McCain, Romney, and other Socialist Republicans are staying put in the lefty bastions. The more rightward leaning of the party is headed to places like Texas and Florida.

This perfectly explains what is happening to our voting patterns.

The left often says that, “If the founding fathers could have seen all of today’s crime, they never would have ratified the Second Amendment.” I hear that all of the time from the antigun side, and I agree with them.

The entire reason that the Second Amendment, or the rest of the Bill of Rights, exists is that some states refused to sign the Constitution. The early opponents of the Constitution, the “Antifederalists,” demanded that the Constitution contain a Bill of Rights that explicitly guaranteed that individual rights were protected and liberty remained with the people. The pro-Constitution “Federalists” like James Madison and George Washington viewed such a Bill of Rights as unnecessary and feared that any rights neglected might permanently deprive people of those rights.

They were both right.

Among the opponents was George Mason, a delegate from Virginia. George Mason countered that a national, consolidated government would overburden Virginians with direct taxes in addition to state taxes, and that government of an extensive territory must necessarily destroy liberty. He nailed that one.

So today, we see that the nation is polarized because the national government is no longer representative of the people that it is attempting to govern. We see it in the patterns that have emerged since 2020, the ones I pointed out, above.

This was caused by the one thing that Madison, Mason, Washington, and all of the others simply overlooked. It’s the issue that was the underlying cause of the Civil War, and one that the war didn’t really settle: Can a state, once it has been admitted to the Union, withdraw? There is no process outlined in our founding documents that states no, yet there is no process that outlines how it would be accomplished, either.

It has long been my opinion that, had the Virginia delegates known at the time that joining the Union was irrevocable, they would never have done so, and the Bill of Rights would never have existed. Instead, we are faced with the question once again, as it was never really resolved by the last Civil War.

As this nation becomes more polarized, we will once again debate the question. It will be far bloodier than the last time, unless we can agree that maybe it is time that we go our separate ways.

Teaching Pigs to Sing

A report has come out, showing that math and reading proficiency dropped nationwide during the COVID lockdowns. Maryland students have the lowest test scores in reading and math of any US state or territory, with only 19 percent of Maryland students performing math that is appropriate for their grade level. Some schools in Baltimore had NO students who were proficient in math.

It doesn’t take long to figure out why. The scores are available online. It isn’t that the test is too hard or that teachers in general aren’t doing their jobs- there are schools in Maryland that had 91% of students proficient in math. In general, whites and Asians score higher on standardized tests than do other races, and the more affluent a student is, the higher the test scores.

The 5 cities with the best scores (racial makeup, median household income) were:

  • Bethesda: 88 percent white and Asian, $173K
  • Ellicott City: 83 percent white and Asian, $136K
  • Clarksville: 87 percent white and Asian, $161K
  • Rockville 68 percent white and Asian, $116K
  • Glenelg 88 percent white and Asian $181K

Some would see that and think that there was racism involved. That is what “equity” is all about- looking at outcomes, then trying to make them the same, but that is simply saying that correlation means causation. Instead, let’s look at the correlation and see if we can find the causation.

Parents who make more money do so because they value education, hard work, or some other trait. That doesn’t always mean college- it can mean trade school, learning to run a business, something. Those parents are also clever or intelligent, which is inheritable. The point is, parents who make money tend to impart the values that made them successful upon their children. Parents who are not successful pass their traits on as well. So children in affluent households tend to be successful. The children in poor households tend to be less successful.

How do you fix this? School and teachers can’t. Teachers who are with a student for less than 1100 hours a year can’t fix 18 years bad parenting coupled with the handicap of losing the genetic lottery. All of the programs in the world won’t turn a student with a 75 IQ and no motivation into a scholastically successful person. In that case, you are doing nothing more than trying to teach a pig to sing.

The other thing that I would like to point out is that the response to COVID had an effect on an entire generation of students, who lost learning opportunities that will hurt them in lost learning gains, thereby affecting them for their entire lives. The knowledge gap that they have as a result of missing a year or more of school will cause them to play catchup for years.

Crenshaw

Make up your own mind as to how you react to a Republican congressman saying that other Republicans are terrorists because they won’t install McCarthy as speaker.

If you don’t want to get into the Octagon and get punched in the face and don’t get into the Octagon, that’s how I feel about it. I mean, this is because there’s no good faith here. The good faith has been lost. We keep talking about good faith. And then they want to play victim. No. No. So now I’m not going to apologize for harsh language. You guys know me. That’s how I am. I speak boldly. You know, and this is this is. This is terrorism tactics.

Show Trials

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are likely not on the side of freedom, but both have committed the same crime: being counterrevolutionary. For that, they must and will be destroyed.

Musk’s allowing free speech on Twitter cannot be permitted to stand, the left will destroy him. He will be removed from Twitter’s chair, or investors and the government will destroy all of his businesses.

For similar reasons, Trump will be prosecuted. As I have said for two years, Trump needs to flee. They won’t stop until he is in prison or dead.

It’s the next step in color revolutions per the CIA insurgency manual- counter revolutionaries must be eliminated.

If a man worth $200 billion cam be brought down, what chance does any of us have? We now know that the Intelligence Community has overthrown the legitimate government and seized power, using Biden as the front man. This is the most dangerous time in US history.
