Conspiracy Theories Are A Secondary Infection

Presidents Reagan and Clinton never threatened to put journalists in jail. The whole idea of trying to suppress Twitter would have been alien to them. And yet, here we are.

The European Union is calling Elon Musk to order over how he turned social media site X into a haven for disinformation and illegal content.

The EU Commission on Friday formally charged X for failing to respect EU social media law. The platform could face a sweeping multi-million euro fine in a pioneering case under the bloc's new Digital Services Act (DSA), a law to clamp down on toxic and illegal online content and algorithms.

That took about 30 seconds to find through the utterly compromised Google search engine. There's tons and tons of it out there.

Why now?

If things were going well, if our culture was healthy, it would be obvious. All of that "misinformation," whatever it is, wouldn't find much of a purchase in our collective consciousness because the evidence from our lives would contradict it. There have always been conspiracy theorists spouting nonsense, but unless the body politic is weak and sick, they can't do much damage. Conspiracy theorists are a secondary infection.

There is so much data, obvious to all, that tells us we're sick. Marriage rates, fertility rates, the deficit, the debt, drug overdoses, crime, illegal immigrant invasions, racial strife stoked to white hot by our own educational institutions, the mutilation and poisoning of young adults in pursuit of sexual degeneracy, the list goes on and on and on.

Conspiracy theories explain the seemingly unexplainable. How is it possible that we've reached this state of affairs? When some of the conspiracy theories turn out to be true, all the others get a shot of adrenaline.

In Southport, England, three little girls were stabbed to death at a party. Here is the picture the news media ran of the attacker.

His name is Axel Muganwa Rudakubana. As can easily be discerned from his name and his photo, he's Welsh. At least that's what the newsmedia told us. Disinformation was rapidly spread by social media and some bigots were actually jailed for participating in the conspiracy theories.

A Stabbing Attack, Viral Falsehoods and Fears of a Summer of Unrest in the U.K.

A judge allowed the naming of the 17-year-old charged with murder, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed a crackdown on riots fueled by far-right misinformation.

Seeking to quell a surge of misinformation-fueled unrest, a British judge on Thursday took the unusual step of naming the 17-year-old suspect in a stabbing rampage that left three children dead and eight injured in northwestern England early this week.

The suspect, Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, appeared in a Liverpool court to face three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder.

The stabbing spree, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town of Southport on Monday, stunned Britain and ignited two days of racially fueled riots, in multiple cities, that were incited by far-right provocateurs.

Now it turns out that the guy, who, these days, looks nothing like the innocent lad in the photo, was, in fact, picking up tips on killing from al Qaeda. Kind of like what the far-right bigots who are now in jail said he was.

A teenager accused of killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children in the United Kingdom has been charged with possessing an al Qaeda training manual and ricin poison.

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, already faces three murder charges, 10 counts of attempted murder and one count of knife possession, authorities said Tuesday. The new charges were filed under the country's Terrorism Act, police said. 

The poison and PDF study, "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The al Qaeda Training Manual," were found during a search of Rudakubana's home, police said. 

There aren't any photos immediately available of him now, but there is this courtroom sketch.

My word, our little stabber certainly has grown up, hasn't he? Also, what happened to his hair? It seems ... different, somehow.

So, to return to the topic of the post, why the crackdown on "disinformation?"

Because, some of it at least, is the truth and we can see it with our own eyes.

You don't need censorship when things are going well.

Real Men Live In The 1950s

 ... once we get married. Yes, I know I'm using the cliche "real men*," but this is my blog and I get to use tropes if I want. So there.

It occurred to me only recently as I was rummaging around in the sex and dating wars on the Internet, trying to understand why AI couldn't write proper Arthurian fiction, that while many women strongly assert that they won't live like a woman from the 1950s, they all want a husband from the 1950s. Protect, provide, cherish is the order of the day, week, month, year, decade, century, millennia ...

My father was drafted into the Army in 1944. As his infantry unit was preparing to leave for France and get cut to pieces in the Battle of the Bulge, he was transferred to West Point. He had always wanted to be an aeronautical engineer, but those plans were put on hold because of the war. He might have returned to those, but then he met my mom. Once the ring was on his finger, he devoted his life wholeheartedly to protect, provide, cherish. His entire life was dedicated to making sure his wife and children had what they needed.

After 32 years in the military, he retired and built a house. After that, he took up painting and turned out to be very talented. 25 years as an artist followed. I have a ton of his paintings and most of them are excellent.

He could never have been a professional artist because it was not his best route to protect, provide and cherish. The military gave him a career path that did what his family needed done from medical care for yours truly as I struggled with various childhood health issues to parochial schooling for all 4 of us kids to making sure mom was provided for throughout her life even after he died.

My dad's dreams didn't matter compared to his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He owned a boat for a while, but that was about the sum total of his self-indulgence.

I've tried to live my life the same way. We've given our kids Catholic schooling, helped them buy their first houses, I've made sure wife kitteh got the remodel and the cars she wanted and we've even bought a condo in Chicago for her best friend who was facing severe housing insecurity. My own dreams of having a vacation home on the Fish River in Alabama are still remote. I couldn't live any other way. The ring went on my finger and from there on out, it was protect, provide, cherish.

I've had all manner of opportunities and career dreams that I never pursued because it would have been bad for my family. It's no big deal, really. I chose family over being a gentleman adventurer and I would do it again without a second thought.

Women face that same choice when the ring goes on the finger, but modern women influenced by feminism shriek about the choices they face, demanding those choices be taken away and replaced with a buffet where they get it all. They want the career, husband, kids, vacations, etc. They don't want to have to choose between them. That's the essence of what I've gleaned from scouring the romance wars on the Internet.

Youngest son kitteh got married last Saturday. I know for certain that now that the ring is on his finger, he will live to protect, provide and cherish. Real men do that.

Real men live in the 1950s. We always have.


* - Yes, I've heard of the No True Scotsman Fallacy. No need to bring it up in the comments.

Happy With Lies

Youngest son kitteh got married to an awesome young lady over the weekend. A good time was had by all.

At the wedding, I got to see my daughter, the one who thinks she's a man. I only see her about twice a year, whenever the urge to get together strikes her. Such is life with a trans adult child. Since I won't call her by her fake name or tell her she's a man, I'm almost completely cut out of her life. That's fine with me. Frankly, I'm over this whole extortion racket from her.

She's been on testosterone now for 3 years. Wife kitteh felt certain that she's had top surgery, which means a double, radical mastectomy. It wouldn't surprise me. The last couple of times we met, she's been pushing me to endorse her desires to have her breasts amputated and had put off that catastrophic step only because I denied her my approval. It's hideous, sadistic and barbaric.

At any rate, she's now as masculine as she's going to get and it turns out that's not much. Her voice sounds like that of a junior high friend of mine, she's 5' 4" tall, her mannerisms are still those of a girl and her speech patterns haven't changed since she was in high school, wearing her hair long and looking like a relatively cute, if tomboyish girl.

She wouldn't pass for a man now if all you saw of her was a brief glimpse of a shadowy figure skulking around in the undergrowth.

She was with her girlfriend who easily had 4" on her. That's not going to last.

The whole thing is lies. All of it. The rest of the family talked about how happy she seems, but to me, it was like watching her gayly paddle a canoe right towards a massive waterfall. This is all going to blow up and sooner rather than later. Given how she's poisoned her body with testosterone for 3 years, full-blown menopause can't be far away. Her voice is permanently ruined as are her reproductive organs. Her organs and central nervous system are taking a sound thrashing as well, but we don't have enough data on these particular Mengeleish experiments yet to know just how those are going to crash.

I guess I could go along with the charade, call her by her fake, man's name and tell her she's a man, but I just don't have it in me to lie to her like that.

As long as everyone around her is lying to her, she's happy? That's not sustainable.

Message Received

Tucker's gone off the rails a couple of times since he left Fox, but on this topic, he is spot on.

We're told over and over by our academic, political, entertainment and news pundits that diversity makes us stronger, immigrants make us stronger. Here's the real message they're sending.

Americans are such a sorry, worthless, disgusting lot that importing 500K+ Haitians and lots of Venezuelan gang members actually improves the place.

Message received.

If An 8-year-old Girl Can Pose You A Problem You Cannot Solve

 ... then you might want to rethink your basic assumptions.

Dig this pitch-perfect emperor-has-no-clothes moment:

The dad's outrage is all well and good, but to me, the telling thing is that the educated, credentialed people on the school board can't think of a response to the girl saying she doesn't want boys to come into her bathroom and watch her.

On this blog, I like to wave my arms and yell about logical contradictions and so forth. This is a perfect example of what happens when you have them as a basis for your ideology.

Little Girl: I don't want Jimmy to come into my bathroom.

School Board Member: It's OK, Jimmy is a girl.

Little Girl: No he's not, he has a pee-pee.

School Board Member: That doesn't make him a girl. Girls are something different.

Little Girl: What is a girl then?

School Board Member: (Same confused silence you get when you ask these people to define the word, 'woman.')

It just doesn't work. Not at all. If an 8-year-old is running logical rings around you, it might be time to burn your diploma and get a new one from a different institution.

A Deal For American Women

 ... from the Clintons.

Dig this.

The Deal

American women should focus on education and careers and not marriage and family. They should enjoy sex with the same abandon as men, but not spend any energy directing their relationships towards rings, altars and cribs. If they get pregnant, there should be publicly funded abortions up until the point of birth and if there's a bit of an oopsie by the medico at the end, a wee bit after the point of birth is just fine as well.

In exchange for this, to replace the children American women will not be having, we will import totally unvetted, untraceable, unvaccinated, illiterate and verbally-incomprehensible people from every failed nation on the planet so that we can continue to have, for a short period of time at least, all the benefits of a functioning, self-sustaining culture. This will also allow us to live in a soothing fantasy where we pretend our culture is actually healthy enough to create a new generation of Americans.

In short, the Haitians and their pals are being brought in to replace the babies we're killing or not even creating in the first place. It's a win-win.

In addition to providing American career women with delicious, International cuisine, the migrants can also teach us sustainable ways of reducing our waste products and converting them into energy sources.

Pounds Of Flesh

 Dig this.

A massive influx in non-English speaking students in Pennsylvania is overwhelming school districts across the state, and the logistical strain on administrators could be leaving other students behind.

The number of English Language Learners (ELL) in school districts in Pennsylvania has surged nearly 40% since 2021, forcing public schools to shell out more cash to try and meet the needs of these students, according to documents obtained via records requests and open-source information reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The surge for many schools began in the 2021-2022 academic school year, coinciding with the onset of the Biden-Harris administration and the subsequent border crisis...

Across the state, there were a total of 71,766 ELL students — those requiring specialized education in learning English as a second language — during the 2020-2021 school year, according to data published by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This number jumped to 99,889 in the 2023-2024 school year, marking a nearly 40% rise in just three years.

The numbers only tell part of the story. It's not just that there are nearly 100,000 ELL students, it's that they speak dozens of different languages. It's one thing to have 100,000 Spanish-speaking kids you have to teach English, it's an utterly unsolvable problem to have some speaking Spanish, some Creole French, some Arabic ...

Where are you going to get the teachers for those kids? There is no training pipeline in existence that is prepared to handle an influx like that and the example is only for Pennsylvania. The same thing is happening all over the country.

The Democrats opened the floodgates so they could import voters. Once the illegals got in, there would be no appetite for deportations on the scale required to get rid of them all. In time, they will be legalized and, so the thinking goes, the Democrats will never lose another election. At no point in time did they think any of this through. The schools are being overwhelmed, drowning in illegals' kids they cannot teach, cannot understand and cannot house.

It was never about the people, it was always about the numbers.

That doesn't begin to consider the amount of sex trafficking of children that must have happened with more than 320,000 unaccompanied minors coming across the border.

It's all OK, though. They got their voters into the country. That's all that matters. #compassion

The Fundamental Question About The Great Replacement

 ... is this one: Who is allowed a homeland?

A secondary question is this: What happens when you are inclusive, but your "migrants" are not? Dig this.

If the "migrants" attack a police car which flees, how much inclusion is that? It seems that the cops are being inclusive, but the "migrants" are not. To me, that looks like a skirmish on the front and the Frenchies lost.

Meanwhile, let's return to the Irish and, for the lack of a better example, the Congolese. Are the Irish allowed a homeland? Congo's population is 20x theirs. It wouldn't take much for the Congolese to enter Ireland and gain a voting majority. Are the Congolese allowed a homeland? I don't think it's much of a reach to assert firmly that no one would suggest that the Congo should be run by someone other than the Congolese, no matter what the results might be.

I know this is raising some very uncomfortable topics and perhaps crossing lines, but as I watch England turn Muslim and see high-profile Brits first flee London and then some of them flee the country completely, these questions occur to me. They are questions we all need to answer here in the US. The Democrats have closed the border, temporarily, for electoral purposes, so when I go to the airport here in San Diego these days, I'm not surrounded by "migrants," but that still happened.

Are Americans allowed a homeland? What is an American?

As you ponder that, dig this:

Making The Case For Western Colonialism

 ... is what the progressives are actually doing.

From what I understand, America is systemically racist, run by whites and their allied racial sellouts like the Asians and Jews. Apparently the whites and their quisling buddies are so good at running the country that it's an act of charity to take people of color from other nations and bring them here. The "migrants" leave a trash heap run by people of color and come to the Land of Opportunity which is run by whites and their stooges.

Sadly, we can only save a small percentage of people of color. For example, Haiti has a population of 11,500,000. We've imported roughly 700,000 Haitians. That's barely 6% of them. Sad!

What if there was a way we could help 100% of the Haitians?

How about if we bring in 10-20,000 Americans (read: whites and their racial pawns) and put them in charge of Haiti? That way, the noble Haitians could stay in the land of their ancestors and still reap the benefits of being ruled over by white supremacists who, for some reason, seem to be able to run things much more efficiently and peacefully.

At the same time, the Irish could run Rwanda, the British run Nigeria, the Italians run Ethiopia, hopefully with less gassing of the natives this time, and so on and so forth. Even the French, as silly as they are, could be given a nation filled with people of color to manage. Algeria, perhaps.

Ooh, too soon with that one?

Anywho, think of all the Global Warming Climate Change we could prevent not running boats filled with ominously intense, young, male migrants back and forth across the water, belching out their polar-bear-killing diesel fumes!

Hey, it's worth a try.

These Rhodesian chappies look like a good sort. Certainly a sight better than the maniacs running Zimbabwe now.

If The Migrants Aren't Interested In Diversity

 ... then you could be well and truly screwed.

Ireland has a population of about 5M. Ethiopia has a population of about 120M. Africans of some origin or another have been arriving in Ireland by the boatload for some time now. The "migrants" are almost exclusively military-age males. Not a lot of big-eyed, photogenic moppets in those boats.

We're told by our academics, news media, politicians and entertainers that diversity will make us stronger and we should embrace it. We'll all be one, big salad of people getting along marvelously. All we need to do is embrace diversity and cultural enrichment.

What if the migrants don't embrace it? What if they don't embrace it and then become, at least local, majorities?

Well, then Ireland won't be Irish in those places, will it? It will be Rwanda or Ethiopia or Nigeria or Pakistan in those places. Kind of like how the Tren de Aragua guys from Venezuela turned certain Colorado apartment complexes pretty Tren de Araguaish.

More pointedly, is it OK if the Irish want to keep Ireland Irish? Given global population ratios, if the Irish want to keep Ireland Irish, they'll need to start racially managing their island and pretty soon at that. Is that OK? Is it OK if the migrants come from Pakistan and decide that embracing diversity means all women have to be covered with black potato sacks?

It seems to me that the fundamental weak spot of the diversity crowd is that they assume the migrants want diversity. If they don't, then it's a colonial power - Ethiopia, Pakistan, Honduras, Haiti, whoever - being allowed to invade without any resistance because our Elites are sanctimonious morons drunk on their own fake virtue.

Diversity may be our strength, but it might be even a greater strength for the migrants.

Do irreconcilable cultural differences exist?

Test Scores Are Misinformation

 Dig this.

CHICAGO (CITC) — The president of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) earlier this month called standardized testing a “junk science rooted in White supremacy."

Stacy Davis Gates said in an Aug. 5 interview with the Chicago-based radio station WVON that the exams originate from the early-20th century eugenics movement, which centered around the belief that segregation and social exclusion would rid society of people thought to be inferior.

“The way in which, you know, we think about learning and think about achievement is really and truly based on testing, which at best is junk science rooted in White supremacy,” she said.

Davis Gates added that standardized testing has been used to further claims that Black students are inferior.

When people talk to me about testing alone, you know, I have to trouble the waters and challenge that because you can’t test Black children with an instrument that was born to prove their inferiority,” she said.

This came on the heels for recent revelations about test scores in Chicago. Here are some stats from the 8th graders in Chicago. You'll need to click on the images to see them properly.

Less than 30% of black 8th graders are proficient in English. About 50% are effectively illiterate.

Less than 10% of black 8th graders are proficient at math. About 75% are innumerate.

Standardized tests are misinformation or racist or somehow deeply unjust is not an assertion that can survive even a few minutes of thought. For example, how is it that Asians, who come to this country with a completely different alphabet, can run rings around us all when it comes to these tests?

I've come to the conclusion that the recent push towards censorship from the Secular Left, where they complain about misinformation, is really just the standard totalitarian play where bad news is covered up with accusations of inaccuracy.

If things were going well, you wouldn't need to accuse people of misinformation. The proof of our Elites' success would be unmistakable in our lives. When they start complaining that the raw data is racist, you know things are going poorly for them.

Things Won't Break Evenly

These kinds of things are happening all over the Western world as we go through spasms of our Elites' self-hatred.

I've been following developments in England and Ireland as well and it's the same thing there. They may not have hurricanes, but they're each experiencing other crises. While their governments prioritize the illegals, the citizens go begging.

Self-hatred is not a sustainable policy, no matter what Angela Merkel wants.

Pope Francis isn't far behind.

“All religions are paths to God. I will use an analogy, they are like different languages that express the divine.”

All religions are paths to God? What in heaven's name is he talking about?

The Pope is telling us that there's no real reason to be Catholic, Merkel was telling her citizens to be ashamed of being German and in England, you're far more likely to face charges if you're waving the Union Jack than if you're waving the flag of Gaza. Here in the US, FEMA has spent the money we gave it on the illegals.


Incoherent, self-destructive principles such as the ones underlying all of this self-hatred cannot be followed forever. Someone is going to break, hard and soon. As Douglas Murray has said, our Elites can be masochists for a while, but eventually they're going to meet a sadist. If I had to put money on who's going to be the first to collapse, I'd either bet on England or one of our big, blue cities.

Things breaking unevenly will be good for the rest of us. Some of us won't be as far gone as the others and will have time and resources to turn things around.

Even if Kamala is elected president, I'd still put my money on America surviving this particular cultural epileptic fit.

A Little Bit On The VP Debate

Long time no blog! That was definitely the longest I've gone without posting here since I started almost 20 years ago. I can't explain it other than to say my biorhythms were low.

IYKYK.

Anyway, I saw clips and breathless tweets about the first part of the debate and then wife kitteh wanted to watch the end of it. I wish I hadn't. It was depressing.

The moderators from ABCBSCNNNPR or whatever network of clones it was were the depressing part, specifically their questions. They ask what interests them and, by proxy, what they think interests most people. They all wanted to know how much more ice cream the government was going to give them for dessert.

There was a health care crisis, a mental health crisis, a day care crisis and a God-knows-what-else crisis. All of it required government programs, policies and money, money, money. None of it was a first-order problem. The debate didn't tell you as much about the candidates as it did about the mindset of the mainstream press. They're women.

They want safety. They want security. They want everyone to be nice. They want to help the sweet, little migrants. They want the weather controlled. They want their babies taken care of while they do as they please. It was all very feminine.

Meanwhile ...

People aren't having babies so the population is getting older fast.

Kids coming into college can't read books.

The interest on the debt now exceeds defense spending and it's only going up from here.

And, of course, the Middle East is in flames while Ukraine, which had the lowest birth rate of the region before the war, has send a good portion of its young men into a hopeless meat grinder at the behest of the women running NATO.

Meanwhile, we heard about the day care crisis. Oh, we also heard from the moderators that there are no studies that show having 15-20M extra illegals in the country is having an effect on rental costs.

That one right there was a stunner. What it told you was that the moderators, and these are hand-picked, top-of-the-line journalismists, were so gullible that they would swallow the line saying 20M in extra demand does not drive up costs while supply is held constant. I don't need to see a "peer-reviewed" study to figure that one out, it's just obvious. These people needed one, though.

What it told me was that they were separated from the primal aspects of life, separated by a gap so wide that they couldn't see across it. The debate was strictly about second-order issues, all of which were solved with more social programs.

That can't go on forever.

You speak for all of us, JD.

One more thing. JD Vance is the only one of the 4 people on the two tickets that I'd be happy to see as president.

Trump. For the love of God, we nominated Trump.

Sigh.
