Bin Laden's Letter to the American People

The Guardian deleted this letter because it's being interpreted wrong on social media. How does deleting source material qualify as journalism or even basic truth-seeking? There's no way to even combat false interpretations without the source material!

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

From Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin to the American people,

I speak to you about the subject of the ongoing war between you and us. Even though the consensus of your wise thinkers and others is that your time (TN: of defeat) will come, compassion for the women and children who are being unjustly killed, wounded, and displaced in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan motivates me to speak to you.

First of all, I would like to say that your war with us is the longest war in your history and the most expensive for you financially. As for us, we see it as being only halfway finished. If you were to ask your wise thinkers, they would tell you that there is no way to win it because the indications are against it. How will you win a war whose leaders are pessimistic and whose soldiers are committing suicide? If fear enters the hearts of men, winning the war becomes impossible. How will you win a war whose cost is like a hurricane blowing violently at your economy and weakening your dollar?

The Bush administration got you into these wars on the premise that they were vital to your security. He promised that it would be a quick war, won within six days or six weeks; however, six years have passed, and they are still promising you victory and not achieving it. Then Obama came and delayed the withdrawal that he had promised you by 16 more months. He promised you victory in Afghanistan and set a date for withdrawal from there. Six months later, Petraeus came to you once again with the number six, requesting that the withdrawal be delayed six months beyond the date that had been set. All the while you continue to bleed in Iraq and Afghanistan. You are wading into a war with no end in sight on the horizon and which has no connection to your security, which was confirmed by the operation of ‘Umar al-Faruq, which was not launched from the battlefield and could have been launched from any place in the world.

As for us, jihad against the tyrants and the aggressors is a form of great worship in our religion. It is more precious to us than our fathers and sons. Thus, our jihad against you is worship, and your killing us is a testimony. Thanks to God, Almighty, we have been waging jihad for 30 years, against the Russians and then against you. Not a single one of our men has committed suicide, whereas every 30 days 30 of your men commit suicide.

Continue the war if you will.

Palestine shall not be seen captive for we will try to break its shackles.

The United States shall pay for its arrogance with the blood of Christians and their funds.

Peace be upon those who follow right guidance.

Justice is the strongest army, and security is the best way of life, but it slipped out of your grasp the day you made the Jews victorious in occupying our land and killing our brothers in Palestine. The path to security is for you to lift your oppression from us.

Transterror: Police In UK Making Arrests Based on Complains About Online Posts

Satanic government is here. A woman in the UK was arrested for posting on the site KiwiFarms, one of the few remaining sites that allow freedom of expression. Only haters need to use this sites though, don't you know that? If you are interested in free speech, you must be evil, because if you weren't evil, you wouldn't need free speech.

Archive link: A thread about my evening.

Threadreader: It’s scary that the police can take someone’s word for something and just come and arrest you.

Communists didn't and don't arrest everyone who is guilty of thought crimes. There aren't enough resources. Instead, examples are made. I have seen it up close in CCP-run China and know my Cold War history.

People can't see the whole picutre clearly because they're focused on trees. Russia is a white Christian nation. MAGA voters are largely white Christians. Both groups oppose the transgender movement and take issue with many aspects of the LBGTQ movements. There's not much more to understand than that. The Baizuo who run USG are naming their enemies. They see alliances that don't exist all around because they are a small minority of the people. They want to force existential wars on their foreign and domestic enemies because it destabilizes the world and gives them greater power. Bombing Nordstream is no different than the latest "white supremacy" false flag. They own Germany the same way they own "the black community."

Satanic, totalitarian government is all but in place in the West. The keystone will be central bank digital currencies that will give the government total control over your life. You'd better buy physical money now. BTC and other forms of tranparent cryptocurrency offer no protection because the government can unravel a network with one address if they can tie it to a real identity. It has already been done based on publicly available information (sites and people who post their address have unwittingly exposed all the addresses they've interacted with). In the future, clean crypo will be that which never went through an identity check and never transacted with a "black" address. More likely, cash and small denomination coinage, be it copper, gold, silver and so on, will function in black markets. Buy your guns and ammunition now. Prepare whatever you want to own now because once the digital currency is launched, it will be illegal to buy anything the Baizuo don't like and if you say anything the Baizuo don't like, you will be unable to pay for food, shelter or medicine.

Will Russia Win?

Will Russia Win?

First, the Ukrainians are not fighting a guerrilla war. Instead, as the list of weapons they have asked the West to provide them with shows, they have been trying to wage a conventional one: tank against tank, artillery barrel against artillery barrel, and aircraft against aircraft. All, apparently, in the hope of not only halting the Russian forces but of expelling them. Given that the Russians can fire ten rounds for every Ukrainian one, such a strategy can only be a sure recipe for defeat.

This is complicated by the fact that Russia is mostly occupying ethnic Russian territory. They aren't, yet, going for the whole thing, though they might get it if Ukraine keeps fighting a conventional war against them.

Fourth, strict censorship is making the impact of Western economic sanctions on Russia’s population hard to asses. If there is any grumbling, it is being energetically suppressed. Meanwhile, a look at the macroeconomics seems to show that Russia is coping much better than many Westerners expected. Gold reserves have been inching up, enabling Putin to link his currency to gold—the first country to do so since Switzerland went in the opposite direction back in 1999. The Ruble, which early in the war came close to collapse, is back to a seven-year high against the dollar, trend upward. Given the fall in imports as well as the tremendous rise in energy prices, more money is flowing into Russia’s coffers than ever before.

The opposite is true in Europe, they are being wrecked. The U.S. is on balance fine, but at the cost of crushing the middle and lower class. A bonus for the Baizuo while in power, so long as they maintain power.

Should it continue, as it almost certainly will, it will give rise to growing popular discontent with the war and demands that their countries’ involvement in it be reduced or brought to an end. Even if that end means abandoning Ukraine and allowing Putin to have his way with it.

Peace is unequivocally the sane policy.

Last not least, beginning with the Enlightenment the West has long preened itself on being a fortress where liberty, law and justice prevail. Now the repeated, highly publicized, requisitioning of the property of so-called oligarchs is beginning to make some people wonder. First, no one knows what an “oligarch” is. Second, the fact that some “oligarchs” have been in more or less close touch with Putin over the years does not automatically turn them into criminals. Third, supposing they are criminals, it is not at all clear why they were left alone for so long and only began to be targeted after the war broke out. Could it be that, in combating the oligarchs, the West is undermining the justice of its cause?

The Globalist American Empire is an Empire of Lies. USG is a liar and rebelling against the Creator. At the intellectual level, it is approaching the level of the Soviets and Nazis when it comes to their false beliefs and propaganda. They not only deserve to lose, but anyone who loves Truth should be actively working to defeat the GAE regime in Washington, and for Americans, replace it with a regime focused on truth, justice and liberty. The GAE will lose. The Empire of Lies will collapse like the Soviet Union. The question for Americans as a people is will they go down with it? Thus far, the answer is yes.

The End of the Baizuo

Whom do you serve? Who are you loyal to and who is loyal to you? Who are your people? Russia is fighting for the preservation of humanity

Before we talk about the image of our future, I would like to draw your attention to the patterns of long-term socio-economic and political development. We – I mean a group of scientists from the Academy of Sciences who work in long cycles of economic and social development-first of all, we managed to foresee this particular war in 2022. Back in the 14th year, it was clear that the challenge that we faced and the result of which was reunification with the Crimea, will necessarily affect the entire Russian world, including the territory of Ukraine. I even published a book, "The Last World War: The United States Starts and Loses."

Somewhere, what we see today was absolutely and almost precisely formulated, including the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces and the role of the Americans and the British in this occupation of Ukraine, as well as the cultivation of Ukrainian Nazism. All this was predicted almost to the last detail. We are continuing our research. According to which the peak of the confrontation falls on 2024. This is the forecast that my colleague gave 10 years ago, even before the current military operation and even before 2014. And then there were no new political seven-year cycles.

Why 2024 and why are we in such a situation of hybrid warfare? The fact is that the modern period is characterized by two simultaneous revolutionary events. The first is the technological revolution, which used to be talked about a lot. It is called differently, we say that it is a change of technological structures. And always this change in technological patterns occurs through the economic depression, which in this cycle began in the world in 2008 – with the beginning of the global financial crisis.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was the first to fail to meet the demands of scientific and technological progress, we now see the collapse of the United States. The United States is no longer a world leader. In an attempt to overcome the global financial crisis by pumping money, the United States eventually led the situation to the breakdown of the entire financial system and increasing inflation, which is already reaching 30% at enterprise prices.

We saw the self-discrediting of the American system in the last presidential election, which was virtually rigged. America is not a more attractive image. In addition, compared to China and India, which have been doing brilliantly over the past 15 years, both the US and the EU, despite a fourfold increase in the monetary base, have not been able to embark on sustainable economic development. The efficiency of the Western management system — here, if we take the efficiency - the money issue is 20-25%. Only every 4th or 5th euro that is issued gets into the manufacturing sector.

In China and India have developed a fundamentally different management system that combines strategic central planning with market competition, where the state plays a dominant role in organizing money circulation and provides private businesses with unlimited access to money if this leads to an increase in public welfare.

All forecasts show that by the end of this decade, the old world economic structure will be reduced by more than half by now, and the core of the Asian accumulation cycle - China, India, Indochina, Japan, and Korea - will already be absolutely dominant in all macroeconomic indicators.

This process is irreversible, but the closer this obvious transition is, the less forces remain in the core of the old world economic system, the more aggressive they become. This is where the same hybrid warfare mechanism that the British used in both World War I and World War II works. We called them hybrid wars because they were fought over territory.

The bit about China and India reminds me of how I'd like to see credit reformed. There should be unlimited credit, as the market can bear and with no bailout provision, for self-extinguishing debt. That is, companies should be allowed to take on unlimited amounts of debt provided they pay it back, as in borrowing to repay funds is illegal. If a company borrows to build a factory, profits from the factory must repay the debt. Consumer credit is outlawed. Mortgages would have to be strictly regulated if they are allowed to exist at all.

The piece also compares Chinese, Russian and Western concepts of profit and goal of the economy. It is a fair criticism of the West that is now extractive in its pursuit of profit, but this is also a result of the planned diversity. By making the country diverse, it breaks communities that are tied by religion, ethnicity and so on. The link between worker and owner is severed. The owner doesn't care for your welfare because he doesn't have to, but also because in many cases, he isn't you. He is, effectively, a foreigner. Whereas is homogenous communities, one can still find smaller scale industries that treat their employees like their family. The piece touches on this:

That is, the main ideological vector is the deprivation of people of any collective identity. National identity, gender identity. In general, the human identity even. People begin to perceive themselves as anything-cyborgs, animals, plants.

Dehumanization is underway, and this kind of posthuman material is embedded in easily manipulated and artificial intelligence, replacing ideologues, in general, imposing their own behavior models on this posthuman world and forcing people to behave as the world's artificial oligarchic management needs.

The future is going to be more religious, whether it moves in a Christian socialist direction or in a Christian capitalist direction:

The question is, what should be the ideology here? Obviously, it should be based on traditional values. In short, this should be the image of Christian socialism that has already been largely vulgarized in Europe. With the understanding that we have not only Christian socialism, but also Islamic socialism, Buddhist socialism. I would call this ideology a socially conservative synthesis. A combination of traditional moral values that grew out of the great religions, with the demands of social justice, the social state and the development state.

Russia is very open about what they are opposing. As I said many years ago at the start of Russiagate, I can see how Baizuo would imagine an alliance between Russia and a subset of right-wing Americans because we share the same enemy. And many who were anti-communist, but not anti-Russian, have been horrified by the U.S. conduct towards Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union. An era of great change is underway. Decades are about to be compressed into years.

H/T: The War for the Future of Man

The Planned Destruction of the West

Bill Gates: Rich nations should move to '100 percent synthetic beef'

"Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand," Gates said. "So for meat in the middle-income-and-above countries, I do think it’s possible."

People focus too much on Bill Gates because he's always in the public making statements. What he says, however, reflects the thinking of the ruling class. Everything bad happening over the past 20 years, all the major events from 9/11 to drug overdoses to mass migration to human trafficking to offshoring of manufacturing to collapsing supply chains to soaring food prices to world war to pandemics to race riots to what will likely be mass death...all of it is an intentional or unintentional result of ruling class decisions. Of ruling class environmental, racial and political ideology. There's a reason the West increasingly looks like Mao's China.

The ruling class could have been irreligious like in China. The Chinese are opposed to Christianity, but they are not anti-Christian in their identity. They are not-Christian. The ruling class of the West is not pagan, but anti-Christian. It has become a Satanic death cult.

Socionomics Alert: Shift in Social Mood Underway, South Korea and Guatemala Reject Feminism, LGBTQ

Socionomics tells us to expect an ultra-extreme reversal in gender politics. We are inside of an already 20+ year negative wave of mood and the reversal could be as long-lasting. The example I like to use is consider the drug use and androgyny of the 1970s against Rambo and the Terminator in movies and "Just Say No" in drugs. The reaction against infinity pronouns and transgenderism is going to be look something like the abolishment of feminism. There will be extremely rigid and defined gender roles for male and female like no one has seen in decades, if not hundreds of years. Sodomy could be made illegal again. It's possible feminism itself will be abandoned in the next positive mood wave that comes out of this one.

For now, this is not a sign that mood is turning. The trend is still negative. Instead, this is more an indicator of what may come when mood finally shifts. What the positive mood cycle might look like when it finally gets underway.

The reversal is getting started overseas. South Korea swung conservative this week and now Guatemala is passing laws against abortion and LGBTQ.

UnHerd: South Korea’s incel election

While sexism in South Korea is nothing new, the aggrieved misogyny animating young men is of a more recent vintage. In their 2019 book Men in Their 20s, journalist Cheon Gwan-yul and data scientist Jeong Han-wool found that the young generation’s misogyny was marked by over-the-top hostility against feminism: 58.6% of South Korean men in their 20s said they strongly opposed feminism, with 25.9% rating the intensity of their opposition as 12 on a scale from 0 to 12.

Unlike older men, who held to a patriarchal worldview defined by rigid gender roles, young men reject the sense of masculine duty that typically accompanies old-school sexism. Rather, they see themselves as victims of feminism and define themselves politically by this sense of victimisation.

ABC: Guatemala increases abortion penalty, bans same-sex marriage

On Wednesday, which Guatemala’s Congress declared “Life and Family Day,” President Alejandro Giammattei said in a speech at the National Palace, “This event is an invitation to unite as Guatemalans to protect life from conception until natural death.”

Guatemalan women convicted of terminating their pregnancies can now face sentences up to 10 years that before were a maximum of three. The Congress imposed even heavier penalties for doctors and others who assist women in ending pregnancies.

Abortions are legal only when the life of the mother is at risk.

Lawmakers backing the legislation said the law was necessary because “minority groups in society propose ways of thinking and practices that are incongruous with Christian morality.”

Some policy shift is also emerging in the U.S.

CBS: Florida Governor DeSantis defends controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill

The Western media will be near useless when it comes to explaining trends because, like in the piece on South Korea, they will just blame it on racism. I mean misogyny or homophobia. Or whatever word is popular at the time. There is no introspection about Baizuo policies, their cause and effect, or even a basic understanding of how success works in politics. Trying to press a victory beyond its goal ends up creating new oppression, as is the case with feminist policies. Most college campuses, for example, continue pushing programs for female enrollment (though there are outliers) while data showing male enrollment dropping clearly indicates they have gone too far and now made college campuses hostile to men. Pointing this out is met with screeches of misogyny and reactionary increasing of feminist policies. With the bill in Florida, the law is against teaching sexual topics to young children. It is now an issue of who is protecting and harming little kids, and the LGBTQ community is starting to come off like pedophiles in their zeal for pushing these issues into kindergarten level. Thus victory becomes defeat because the reaction isn't going to be short-lived when mood shifts, it's going to be a massive reversal. 

When social mood shift, it looks for targets. As I have pointed out with secession, the most likely targets are where there is an advanced secession movement. With something like culture, the "squeaky wheel" gets the grease. Extreme cultural trends will meet extreme reversal, while those that are "sleeping dogs" will probably be left alone until the positive mood wave becomes extreme. The transgenderism pushing into female sports, for example, could well open up questions about the existence of female sports because, prior to feminism, female sports weren't as big of a thing. 

Geopolitics will also play a role. One moniker for the American Empire is the "Globalist American Empire," the GAE. The U.S. State Department is a major advocate of feminism and LGBTQ all over the world (shoving it down the throats of Afghanis was an all-time backfire). Russia and China are purposefully anti-GAE in every respect, with Russia turning back to Orthodox Christianity and China focused on moving closer to traditional gender roles among other issues. As U.S. power wanes, so too will its spread of modern sexual ideology. More countries will reject U.S. culture for traditional culture. Eventually, the "revolution" will come home to the United States.

Understanding the geopolitical dimension helps clarify why Baizuo seem to be going for broke against Russia and likely soon China. Why the Russiagate scandal made sense in their warped minds. They realize their domestic political enemies and some of their foreign enemies are closer in terms of religion and culture to each other, than either is to the Baizuo. The press likes calling Putin unhinged and crazy, but the regime behaving more erratically is ever more paranoid and neurotic Baizuo. Had the conservatives in the USA not bought the anti-Russian propaganda hook-line-and-sinker, Baizuo paranoia might already be going off the charts. Extreme ideas such as transgenderism are very core to the Baizuo identity and if you see the world as pro- and anti-trans, it is easy to see how Putin and a Trump voter, or perhaps Putin and J.K. Rowling (a feminist against some of the trans excess), are somehow allied in their minds.

Go And Build

Buckminister Fuller once said that “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

If we are going to win—and we are going to win—we must work together towards the common goal of building parallel Christian systems that are beyond the influence and control of the existing demonic ones.

Parallel systems can only work if they are built on the firm foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ and the Truth of God’s Word, the very same foundation that the United States of America itself was founded upon.

...We have always and will continue to overcome the advances of the Enemy.

Imagine being among the first group of Christians after Christ’s resurrection who spent forty years preaching the Gospel waiting while those practicing the Old Covenant law mocked them. We can’t even comprehend the persecution they faced in order to defend and spread the Gospel. Many ended up giving their lives for it.

This group of Christians is the most inspiring to me because they had to have the most faith of all. In Luke 21:6 Jesus prophesied about the Temple that “not one stone would be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down.”

For forty years that didn’t happen and a generation of Christians had to patiently wait and have faith that what Christ said would come true. Then in 70 AD, it did happen, just as he said it would, and that Temple was absolutely annihilated. Almost 2,000 years later it’s still not standing despite multiple attempts throughout history to rebuild it. 1 Corinthians 3:16 tells us that WE are the Temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells within us.

This is the enormous amount of faith that we need to have today. We need to be in this for the long haul. We need to be willing, like the very first followers of Christ, to have an entire lifetime of faith.

Christians are not revolutionaries.

We are reformers. We do not destroy things, we build and create them, mirroring our Creator. God will handle the destruction of our wicked and corrupt global regime, in fact I think He’s already started.

If we are going to save our country we must adopt a mindset of seven generations thinking.

Previous generations, including my own, have lived in the moment for themselves.

We must learn from this mistake.

Short term pleasure at the expense of longterm pain for our kin is unsustainable. We must be the ones who are willing to put in the work to build a Christian future not only for our children and our children’s children, but for Christendom as a whole. Now is the time for us to build.

Reject Terrorism

The term terrorism refers to violent act, but in the age of 4G warfare, should it remain limited to physical act? The goal of terrorism is to instill fear via physical acts, but if you can achieve the same effect with psychological warfare, is that not terrorism?

The climate is constantly changing. There are deadly natural events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tornados and hurricanes. Relabel these events under the banner of "climate change" or "global warming." Implement hare brained economic plans that cause people's living standards to declie. Drive up their cost of energy, limit their physical movement. Declare your political enemies the villains and terrorize the population until they fear Nature and hate their fellow man.

Viruses have probably existed almost as long as life has existed. Seasonal respitory illnesses are common. Long-term effects from the flu are common. Relabel these illnesses as "Covid-19." Implement hare brained policies that destroy the healthcare system. Deny people healthcare when they become sick with these illnesses. Ban all discussion of treatments. Ban the sale of drugs that can fight the illness. If they finally get sick enough to enter the hospital, put them on ventilators that cause pneumonia and kill them. Count the death as having been caused by "Covid-19." Offer experimental "vaccines" that will protect people from the virus. When they become sick from the side effects or die from the shots, count the deaths as having been caused by "Covid-19." Declare your political enemies the villains and terrorize the population until they fear Nature and hate their fellow man.

Political disagreements have always existed. Sometimes mobs of people will go to rallies. Two opposing crowds of sports fans or political parties will occassionally get violent. Relabel this violence as an insurrection, a coup or terrorism. Use this relabeling as justification to ban people off public Internet sites, censor search results, limit discussion of political topics. Limit phsyical movement by placing people on no-fly lists. Force banks to close their bank accounts. Declare your political enemies the villains and terrorize the population until they hate their fellow man.

Across America, there are obese 20-something women with blue hair (or similarly sexually unappeling color) who live in fear of climate change, covid-19 and white nationalism. They are berated by terrorist lies day-in and day-out. The greatest threat to their health and happiness is their weight and choice in hair dye, yet the same regime that terrorizes them with lies about false threats, instead offers them fat acceptance. Fight fat shaming. You be you! Go girl!

Is this the behavior of a Good ruler? Of a ruler who is, as said in Romans 13:1 "appointed by God?" Are they concerned with Man being in harmony with Nature, with preserving the Heavenly order? Do they love and care for the people under their authority, or do they instead behave as if their master is the Devil? Reject Satan, and all his works.

Merry Christmas

Defeating Authoritarianism Requires an Exorcism of the Managerial Class

Eugyppius: There isn’t one plan, there are fifty thousand, and nobody is in charge.

You’re ignoring the fact that this is evil: No, I say all the time that it’s extremely evil. I am arguing merely that the locus of evil is not condensed in any single actor, but rather distributed, like a foul-smelling gas, throughout the entire system. In sum: If I could wave a wand and send the whole globalist crew on a twenty-year mission to conduct a thorough tree census of Siberia, I would. But that wouldn’t stop any of this. Containment would continue on its current path, and a new collection of clowns and loser philanthropists would emerge out of the woodwork to take their place. Before long, Siberia would be very full of tree counters, and we would still be facing vaccine mandates and lockdowns and all the rest of it.

The upper echelon of ruling class must be removed because they are an obstacle. The managerial class must also be removed, either physically fired from their jobs or reeducated. You'd be surprised how many bureaucrats would have no trouble accepting a new ruling ideology if it means keeping their jobs, just look at all the people who accepted vaccine mandates and political censorship in recent years. Ultimately, society must recommit itself to the teachings of Christ and make Him the center of the whole of society. The entire ruling ideology must be scrubbed out of the foundations of government. It is like graffiti on a building, ait sits on top of the American project, but is not American. The only way to do that quickly is remove the people who reject Christ. Do this, and Truth and Goodness can flourish. Many, if not most of them, will see their error and be forgiven. Unless this is done, there will only be an exchange of bodies, a new set of Satan's minions running on a variant of the current ideology.

America Is "Less Equal" in 2021 Because It Is More Diverse

The vast majority of complaints about racism in America are the result of differing outcomes in a free market. At the individual level, America is about as free and equal as any nation that has ever existed, arguably more so than any that has ever existed. At the group level however, genetics, culture or some unknown factors drive variances between peoples. This is logical if you consider two groups, white and black. Now assume whites like playing baseball, hockey and basketball in that order of preference, and blacks like playing basketball, baseball and hockey in that order of preference. Even if we ignore how strongly they prefer each of these sports, logically you would predict the professional basketball league would have more blacks than in the general population and hockey more whites. If there are more blacks in say the basketball league, there will be proportionally less in other sports simply because the black athletes are in the NBA. The smaller the minority group and the stronger its preferences, talents or what have you, the more likely they will produce some lopsided effect at the group level, even if an individual black who is great at hockey has no obstacles to playing professional hockey, and vice versa for a white basketball player. Be it genetics or culture, there are persistent trends in European ethnic groups alone. The difference between America before 1965 and after 1965 is that the disparity between European ethnic cohorts was smaller than the disparity between global cohorts. As America becomes more diverse, it ipso facto becomes less equal if you're measuring at the group level because introducing more groups and more distant groups at that, will naturally produce more divergent outcomes.

This slide from the article below is one of the best examples.

The article goes on to explain that when data scientists control for factors such as cognitive ability, the disparities disappear. Talent is not evenly distributed among people. Some families have a lot of doctors, some a lot of lawyers, some a lot of athletes and so on. In America, if you have the talent and desire to become a doctor, you can become a doctor. No one will stop you. At the individual level, the U.S. is truly the land of opportunity and that should be celebrated. Instead, people who do not understand diversity or cannot handle actual diversity, actual diverse outcomes (ironically the people who scream loudest for diversity...) and alowed to destroy critical American foundations such as public education, law and justice in the name of "anti-racism."

Families are related. In small nation, say Denmark, most of the population is fairly related, that is they are all extended family members once you go back several generations into the past. When you move these "families," what are also called nations, into a single political and economic unit, it produces similar divergences you will see if you hop on a plane and travel to Denmark, then Beijing, then New Dehli. A single political unit such as the United States can shave off some of the variety and homogenize the people to an extent, maybe they're all eating at the same McDonald's, but it cannot erase hundreds of years of selective mating and cultural development.

Zach's Newsletter: Exposing the group disparities = discrimination fallacy

By using group level inequality to justify individual discrimination, the reality in America is white and Asian males are probably the two most discriminated groups in the country. This is already producing a backlash with increased prevalence of white identity movements and white nationalism. It is awakening (another irony of the Woke) a shared white identity that didn't exist in the "non-diverse" America that was filled with French, Dutch, Germans, Italians, Polish, Irish....in many towns children learned their ethnicity's language at the school for their ethnic group, they attended a church that catered to their ethnic group. Towns would have a Polish, Italian, French, Irish and Spanish Catholic church, the numbers and specifics depending on the local populations. People couldn't easily tell your ethnicity by looking at you, but they could tell as soon as you told them your name. In some ways, pre-1965 America, certainly pre-1945 America, was far more diverse in the literal sense of the word. Mass communications and public education, along with a major assimilation effort and a near ban on immigration, produced a more homogenous society by the 1960s. Right when America might have celebrated its success, or rather perhaps when it thought too highly of its ability to integrate diverse populatons, it decided to destroy the ethnic, religious and cultural homogeneity of the population in favor of diversity. Well, actually it didn't. When the 1965 immigration act was debated, its proponents said it wouldn't change the demographics of the nation that had produced the largest middle class in the world, a free and democratic society.

The American government (USG), schools, corporations and other institutions that pursue diversity initiatives on the basis of racial proportions in the general population are creating a racial Bed of Procrustes, lopping off talents because their group is overrepresented, while stretching mediocore talents into positions beyond their ability. It is a pernicious ideology, an inversion of Nazism. It's adherents are spreading a vile lie straight from the depths of Hell, a Satanic message of hate that is inverted into moral superiority and seemingly a surface message of love and tolerance, making it difficult to stamp out in a nation that has abandoned God. It is impossible to predict the future, but I'm rather certain that America will either turn back to Christianity or it will break apart, perhaps into racialized and ethnic states (consider racial voting patterns), be it peacefully, chaotic or violent. I do not see an easy way to unbrainwash the Woke masses who have been programmed to see racism in everything for their entire life. What you're seeing in the streets of America and in the corporate boardrooms is the result of people 30 years-old rising into positions of power. They were fed are far less evil message 20 years ago and 10 years ago. Violent mobs burning down cities now, peopel are being taught to hate themselves because of their race now, what is coming in 20 years? Whatever is coming, America's Apocalypto approaches.

The Age of Illusion

WSJ: How a Physicist Became a Climate Truth Teller

“I’ve been building models and watching others build models for 45 years,” he says. Climate models “are not to the standard you would trust your life to or even your trillions of dollars to.” Younger scientists in particular lose sight of the difference between reality and simulation: “They have grown up with the models. They don’t have the kind of mathematical or physical intuition you get when you have to do things by pencil and paper.”

Many people will read this as an article about climate change, but I think it gets to a much deeper problem in society: people cannot discern fact from fiction, reality from narrative, truth from lies. I grew up with the Internet so I can't say if anything has changed with respect to older people. Maybe they were always this gullible about everything. Many people didn't know the truth, but for the most part I'd chalk that up to being uninformed. Today, many people are still uninformed, but it turns out most information is spread by peer groups on the Internet. It's not that people will believe what the official sources tell them, it's that they'll believe whatever their peers think. One group believes regime sources, be it government or mainstream media. Another group thinks everything from those sources is fake. Some people investigate further, but most people do not.

The most delusional about reality are the more educated, aka credentialed. They "trust the science" even when the science is observably wrong or strongly refuted by well-sourced skeptics or challenged by credible theories. Evolution, dark matter, string theory, and now coronavirus/vaccines, the official story has holes punched in it, but to question the truth is to question what in their minds is reality. Police shootings, system racism, whihte privilege, the list goes on. Is it not surprising that people who get emotional about scientific theories such as evolution would also have trouble when it comes to crime statistics?

The ruling class lost their minds over Trump for a few reasons, but two of his biggest sins were centerd on the regime's concept of truth. First, most of what people perceive as real in politics is fake. Russiagate was fake from the start, only fools or ignorant (in the most neutral sense of not knowing) people believed it. Anyone who was awake during the Cold War knows how absurd it sounded from the get go, particularly when there was also a Presidential candidate in 2016, Bernie Sanders, who had literal ties to Soviet Russia. Two, people will believe anything. The panic over "conspiracy theories" and Trump's "lies" (mostly exaggerations) wasn't because the ruling class and media care about the truth. Rather, lies beat lies. If we let the old "World Weekly News" take over NBC and run Batboy stories at 6pm, half the country would believe in Batboy.

It goes deeper though. Older investors sohuld have noticed by now how younger investors have a total detachment from reality. The exclamation point on this for me was the GameStop (GME) short squeeze. I saw there were $1000 price targets and considered them crazy, but not impossible. A short-squeeze takes on a life of its own in the final phase. After investigating a little, however, I found there were investors who thought $1000 was a sustainable target, as in GME could go that high and stay there. Circling back into cryptocurrency, one starts to see an unhinged herd that is rolling through the markets driving prices without any concept for underlying value. This always happens during speculative periods, but my sense is younger investors have no concept of fundamental value. Back during the dotcom era there were absurd forecasts used as justifications for current valuations. Today, there are no justifications. If an investment has a cool meme, the price has no ceiling.

This gets back to more fundamental questions about the ruling class and core concepts such as science. One comparison I've made since 2008 is that climate models are similar to Wall Street's housing models that predicted home prices wouldn't decline nationwide. Neither was based on reality. Climate models are a shadow of the actual climate. Many models cannot hope to be accurate because they lack inputs. Last month, I posted an article by someone who is not a climate skeptic, but is someone who thinks warming isn't being driven by CO2. The Earth itself is a likely source of warming oceans, which explains why the oceans are warming faster than the rest of the climate. Last month, I also posted a study that eliminates dark matter.

In a prior age, busting holes in old theories would be celebrated. Science was celebrated precisely because it was constantly falsifying things as untrue. Today however, people become unnerved by learning. Scientists behave like authioritarian political commisars who attack honest skepticism and dissident theories. The truth creates a crisis. In politics and now science, independent voices that challenge or make their own truth claims incite panic. Censorship intensifies. Why? My hunch is because people have abandoned religion. As Chesterton put it: "When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything." For myself, I've become an advocate for having the Bible taught as an educational standard. Not necessarily because I believe it is true, though I do, but because if people are going to believe in something, might as well make it something with a provable track record of success. More importantly, and here's where I'll slip in a theological argument, is that the Bible teaches that there is objective Truth. Christian societies like the ones that existed before this modern world made incredible advancements in science. What's more, Jesus Christ claimed to be the Truth. A weak argument would be that believing in any objective truth, real or not, creates a soceity that believes in truth. The strong argument is that if Christ was lying, Christian societies would be untruthful. That they were not is a strong argument in favor of the divinity of Christ. Finally, while less educated Christians can be fooled by lies, in my experience, they are among the least likely to believe lies. If they do believe lies, they tend to be less serious ones like foolish conspiracy theories that don't impact daily life. For example, Creationists who believe God made the world literally six days, at least come up with scientifically-based theories when then scientific record disagrees with their theory. They can still be biologists and physicists, despite being literalist Creationists. Climate change believers have as much faith in climate models as Creationists have in a literal interpretation of the Bible, but the Creationists deal better with the holes in their theories because they can retreat to Faith. A hole in their theory doesn't dent their Faith. Climate model believers and others who worship science have no fallback. Holes in scientific theories shake their faith and destroy the core of their belief system. Pushing further, many people treat science as a religion. And even as a religion, it has become a superstition, an inferior religion as compared to the world's major ones. Most people cannot live under a philosophy of science that is constantly disproving reality. Religion provides a sound footing. Those who worship science instead develop faith in unproven theories such as evolution. They listen to scientists on topics such as coronavirus in the same exact way religious observers listen to priests on questions of theology.

In conclusion, I believe we may already be in a "new" Dark Ages. New in quotes because the Dark Ages has been debunked. Most of the West lives in an illusion because it cannot discern truth from fiction. Ideas such as systemic racism are provably false. If you dig into data and have an ojective concept of justice, you can make the case that whites and Asians are the most oppressed people in the United States. Yet society is falling apart because no one can refute this lie. The markets are unhinged because value is dead. Value investors have no currency in a world where people cannot estimate the value of company. The West was crippled by the coronavirus and spread lies about the virus itself, despite the fact that almost everything known about it in January is still true. The only thing is, you'd have to read Chinese news sources to get the truth, or stick with anonymous Twitter accounts that retweet dissident science from banned sources.

The most important thing to teach a child, along with teaching them how to learn, is to teach them that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That the Bible is the Word of God, not literal, but as spoken through the prophets in the Old Testament, and by Jesus Christ in the New. Whether they choose to have faith is up to them, but they should be taught this alongside the classical philosophers because this is the best way to build a solid foundation. The world is adrift in a sea lies and even though rocks of truth are all around them, they cannot discern the rocks from the water. Those who know to stand on firm ground will have an absolute advantage on the competition. They will also be the only hope for preserving Western Civilization.

Who Cares If It Is a Black Cat or a White Cat, As Long As It Has Babies?

China reversed course on sociaist economics 40 years ago under Deng. While they retain an authoritarian system withh heavy regulation and government interference (central plannig), in many ways China is less sociaist than nearly all Western societies. They stuck with Marxist propaganda on many cultural and social issues though, what in the West is sometimes referred to as Cultural Marxism, Wokeness and progressivism. China froze after the Cultural Revolution though. In the West, it never stopped developing. It has morphed into the abolition of women's sports via transgenderism, hyper tribalism, Wokeness, critical race theory, etc. The Marxist concept of equality expressed in male-female relations, racial and ethnic conflicts, family life, and so on is still headed towards the only equality on Earth: death. China stared death in the face in the 1960s and will not go back. After 40 years of reversing Marxist economists, China now appears ready to throw the rest out.

For many years, I've pointed out China cannot hope to reverse its fertility decline for two main reasons. One is their economic program of urbanization. Urban fertililty rates are lower than rural fertility rates. Moving people into the cities lowers fertility. The other is feminism and cultural concepts. Although the West would eventually become more "Marxist" than the communist countries and criticize China over issues such as women's rights, under Mao women achieved full "equality" as producers of GDP in the economy before Western feminism "liberated" women from their homes and moved them into cubicles. China and the West both placed a premium on economic production over traditional institutions such as the family. China had explicit fertility policies under Mao, followed by the One Child policy. Yet China discovered a far more powerful form of birth control: capitalism mixed with feminism. As a result, China's fertility rate has been converging with lower East Asian fertility rates. All their policy atttemps have failed because they cannot overcome these fundamental forces. It appears China might be having another Deng moment though.

WSJ: China Stresses Family Values as More Women Put Off Marriage, Childbirth

In recent days, more than a dozen accounts used by women’s-rights groups were deleted from the Weibo social-media platform as well as cultural-discussion site Douban.com.

The deletions came as China awaits the results of a once-a-decade census, which had been expected by early April but have yet to be released. Demographers expect the data to show a sharp drop in births in 2020, the fourth straight decline following a brief rise in 2016, the first year after the one-child policy was lifted.

“What are they afraid of?” asks one user in reference to the deleted accounts. “Are they afraid of more women waking up? Are they panicking when seeing the fertility rates and marriage rates?”

Neither Douban nor Weibo responded to requests for comment. Weibo said in a post on its verified official account that some accounts were taken down because they were “related to illegal or hurtful information.” It didn’t elaborate. A spokeswoman for China’s National Statistics Bureau said in a Friday briefing that the agency needed additional time on the census because there was more data to process than in previous ones.

This is amazing when one considers China claims in crushed Xinjiang terrorist threats by applying the opposite policies. The West claims China engaged in genocidal policies, while China says it spread Western-style feminism and progressivism. That China now pushes an opposite policy for the Han population would be evidence of oppressive behavior by the Chinese government...if Western governments weren't applying China's Xinjiang policies at home and abroad. Of note, the U.S. is pushing the same policies in Afghanistan as China claims it did in Xinjiang, and the opposition to the U.S. troop withdrawal cites issues such as women's rights. I'm not excusing any oppressive behavior by China's government, such as claims of forced sterilization. What is clear, however, is that part of China's policy was indoctrinating Uighur women in exactly the same manner as American schoolchildren are indoctrinated by the government, schools, media and many cultural institutions. And now China is turning 180 degrees on those policies and promoting more traditional family life. In addition to taking down feminism, China is making it harder to get divorced:

In recent days, Chinese internet users complained about the difficult divorce process after news spread of a Hunan province court that rejected a woman’s divorce request four times. The woman, Ning Shunhua, expressed frustration in an interview that the court wouldn’t consider evidence that her husband had beaten her. The Hengyang County People’s Court said on its Weibo account it was processing a fifth request and had rejected previous ones because Ms. Ning hadn’t provided enough evidence and her husband had pleaded with her multiple times for forgiveness.

Russia has already moved towards tradition and religion as part of its nationalist revival. In the past, I've noted China has an Achilles heel because it remains nominally Marxist and socialist. It is difficult for it to reject ideas that grew out of socialism and Marxism. Clearly, they have started down the path. If they continue, they will have to replace Western socialism and Marxism with traditional Chinese ideas, or create new native cultural concepts.

More broadly, if China continues on this path, it is setting up a far greater confrontation with the West and within the West. The United States already cites policies on feminism and homosexuality as partial justification for its violent escalation with Russia. Now China will join them. As for the implications for Americans, I have believed from the outset that the Russiagate lie, as false as it was, did contain a kernel of truth. Many Americans, many Christians, also disagree with USG's cultural and moral framework. From the view of someone in the American ruling class, Russia, traditional Americans, Christians and now the CCP (I chuckle at the thought of it, yet there it is) are starting to look similar. Perhaps there was a reason the Russia was the nation selected for Russiagate, beyond simply being a geopolitical enemy. Perhaps the ruling class was already lumping U.S. citizens who opposed them together with foreign governments that oppose them. If this is true, then then more USG labels its domestic opponents terrorists and white supremacists, and the more Russia and China promote social policies in line with the terrorists and white supremacists, the more the ruling class will behave like an isolated and paranoid tyrant.

In conclusion, while many reports will look at the surface issue of what's going on in China, this news goes to the heart of modern socities, American empire, domestic political conflict and fundamental questions of Western civilization.

The West is Turning Into China

Whenever I say the West is turning into China, invariably there will be some who say "It's not that bad." And it isn't that bad yet for a couple of reasons, the main one being the people in charge do not have the unrestricted power of the CCP in China. In other ways, the West is worse off because Westerners cannot face the evil within their own governments. It is difficult to admit your own people are as bad and sometimes worse than a regime you've been programmed to hate. (It's also near impossible for the Woke to recognize that they're the moral equivalent of the Nazis, but that will come in time.)

What is going on in Canada with priests thrown in prison and churches fenced off is exactly like what happens in China.

Now in the U.S., four of the Supreme Court justices (one of whom is a Bush the Younger appointee) ruled that the government can also ban house churches...as they do in China.

The Hill: Supreme Court says California must allow in-home prayer meetings

The Supreme Court late Friday said that California must lift its coronavirus-era restrictions on in-home prayer meetings and other forms of home-based religious gatherings.

In an order from the court, five conservative justices wrote against rules in most parts of the state that limit indoor social gatherings to no more than three households, while different restrictions apply to places such as schools and churches.

“California treats some comparable secular activities more favorably than at-home religious exercise, permitting hair salons, retail stores, personal care services, movie theaters, private suites at sporting events and concerts, and indoor restaurants to bring together more than three households at a time,” the justices said.

Additionally, the justices noted that a lower court in its ruling “did not conclude that those activities pose a lesser risk of transmission than applicants’ proposed religious exercise at home.”

Amazing that this decision wasn't 9-0, but the America that was is long gone. As a Westerner, I have a different expectation in the West and in a supposedly free state. China is an authoritarian dictatorship, nominally atheistic communism, plus thousands of years of authoritarian government. Thus when I see this going on in California and Canada, and four justices (including one nominated by a Republican president) assenting to it, it is a far greater violation of norms and escalation of tyranny, than when China fences off an illegal church before bulldozing it.

I do not want to speak openly about my experiences, but I can only say that in my time in China, I saw Christian persecution first hand. And honestly, I cannot really tell the difference from what is going on in the USA. The only difference I can cite would be the U.S. elites aren't trying to eradicate Christianity, but then I can go to things like BLM and transgenderism that are more openly hostile, if not in name to Christianity, to its teachings. That is, the CCP which openly says churches must be CCP approved and puts "illegal" priests in jail, is in its totality less anti-Christian than elite-supported organizations and cultural trends in the West. (e.g. BLM says it wants to destroy the nuclear family...China has policies that encourage the nuclear family.) Yes, you will not be arrested for possessing a Bible in the USA and in certain circumstances you could be arrested in China, but that I have to get into such policy minutae to highlight the differences says far more about the descent of the West than the historically authoritarian nature of Chinese government.

Diversity Doesn't Work: Can Hinus Import Their Caste System?

Bloomberg: How Big Tech Is Importing India’s Caste Legacy to Silicon Valley

Last year, allegations of caste bias got a public airing some 8,300 miles away from the IIT campuses. On behalf of the Indian Cisco Systems employee who alleged he’d been discriminated against based on his caste, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing brought a suit in San Jose against the company and two other Indian employees. All three were graduates of IIT Bombay.

American law protects workers from disparate treatment based on a handful of characteristics, including race, sex, religion, and disability status. This was the first time, though, that anyone had argued those protections should extend to Dalits. The complaint said that the unnamed employee had faced discrimination by two upper-caste managers since 2015 and that he’d reported one to human resources for outing him as a Dalit and informing colleagues he’d enrolled in the IIT through affirmative action. The employee said the discrimination had continued under the second manager.

Cisco denied the charges. “We have zero tolerance for discrimination and take all complaints of unfair treatment very seriously,” a spokesperson says. “In this case, we thoroughly and fully investigated the employee’s concerns and found that he was treated fairly, highly compensated, and afforded opportunities to work on coveted projects.” In its response to the suit, Cisco made an additional argument: Because caste isn’t a protected category under U.S. civil rights laws, the allegations are immaterial and should be stricken. The court recently denied Cisco’s petition to move the case to arbitration, and the company has filed an appeal.

Advocacy groups in the U.S. have weighed in on both sides. The Hindu American Foundation filed a declaration in support of Cisco, saying that though it vehemently opposes “all forms of prejudice and discrimination,” the state’s case “blatantly violates the rights of Hindu Americans.” Meanwhile, the Ambedkar International Center, a Dalit advocacy group, filed a brief in support of the state, encouraging the court to acknowledge caste discrimination and set a precedent prohibiting it. “American civil rights law has little experience with the Indian caste system, but it is very familiar with the idea of caste: the notion that some people are born to low stations in life in which they are forced to remain,” the motion reads.

Does a ruling against Hindus weaken the first amendment? It sounds simple on the face of it, but maybe there is a whole can of worms about to be opened as legal paradoxes start emerging because of diversity. Note there would be very little problem if Cisco opened an office in India, but American managers don't want to live there. Perhaps Cisco should be forced to bear the entire burden of this dispute, such that if the Dalits wins, Cisco pays damages to the Dalits, and if the Hindus win, Cisco pays damages to the Hindus. The problem might be solved rather quickly.

This Will End Well: Clownifornia School Children Chanting to Aztec God of Human Sacrifice

Christianity is banned from public schools, but worshipping gods who demand human sacrifice is required. City Journal: Revenge of the Gods

Students first clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka—whom the Aztecs traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism—asking him for the power to be “warriors” for “social justice.”

I know there are a lot of people who think they are moderates, who either voted for Biden or against Trump for reasons, but this is where America is at now. If you're supporting the left, you're supporting people who want human sacrifice. You can say you don't, but you do, because nobody on the left or most of the establishment right will do anything to stop this. Even if they slow this, do you agree with all the nonsense of white privilege, do you want to become a racial apartheid country? You're in favor of the government eventually declaring mother and father are hate speech? The House already dropped "gendered language" and a Woke $57k-a-year NYC school bans students from saying mom and dad, asking where classmates went on vacation and wishing ‘Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays'. This is where things are headed soon, let alone where it's going in 5, 10 or 20 years. My Chinese friends remark to me, "This is like the Cultural Revolution. We all know this was a mistake in China, why is this happening?" They know this will be a disaster for America, which is also why the anti-American Chinese laugh and cheer it all on.

The choice is fight hard right now or much harder later. Eventually, all but the extreme left will be sick of this, but the more it becomes institutionalized, the larger the extreme left will grow, the more extreme the response will have to be. At some point, the solution will be "de-woking" institutions the way Nazi Germany was denazified and Poland and Hungary recently decommunized, hopefully without a civil war first or without requiring an authoritarian dictator to root the Baizuo and Wokies out of the institutions. Or the political system will fracture as Christians Americans quit, leaving whoever is left to get sacrificed to awakened Aztec gods. Also consider what the left is capable of if they are celebrating gods of human sacrifice and cannibalism. Spanish colonization was a net good if only because it ended human sacrifice. That alone outweighs the bad on the scales of justice. Today, American leftists are bringing back the most demonic and indefensible aspects of indigenous culture, and you have to ask why. Ask what they are planning for the future, what they are capable of, what moral limits on their behavior exist, if any. Imagine how the American left will treat domestic opponents. Imagine what weapons of war they might unleash on foreign enemies.

The Civil War Begins With The Great Reset

Civil strife is coming to the West.

OPEN LETTER
to the President of the United States of America
Donald J. Trump

Solemnity of Christ the King

Mister President,

Allow me to address you at this hour in which the fate of the whole world is being threatened by a global conspiracy against God and humanity. I write to you as an Archbishop, as a Successor of the Apostles, as the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America. I am writing to you in the midst of the silence of both civil and religious authorities. May you accept these words of mine as the “voice of one crying out in the desert” (Jn 1:23).

As I said when I wrote my letter to you in June, this historical moment sees the forces of Evil aligned in a battle without quarter against the forces of Good; forces of Evil that appear powerful and organized as they oppose the children of Light, who are disoriented and disorganized, abandoned by their temporal and spiritual leaders.

Daily we sense the attacks multiplying of those who want to destroy the very basis of society: the natural family, respect for human life, love of country, freedom of education and business. We see heads of nations and religious leaders pandering to this suicide of Western culture and its Christian soul, while the fundamental rights of citizens and believers are denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman faceless tyranny.

A global plan called the Great Reset is underway. Its architect is a global élite that wants to subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drastically limit individual freedoms and those of entire populations. In several nations this plan has already been approved and financed; in others it is still in an early stage. Behind the world leaders who are the accomplices and executors of this infernal project, there are unscrupulous characters who finance the World Economic Forum and Event 201, promoting their agenda.

The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures, hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and cancelling individual debt. The price of these concessions from the International Monetary Fund will be the renunciation of private property and adherence to a program of vaccination against Covid-19 and Covid-21 promoted by Bill Gates with the collaboration of the main pharmaceutical groups. Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.

Mr. President, I imagine that you are already aware that in some countries the Great Reset will be activated between the end of this year and the first trimester of 2021. For this purpose, further lockdowns are planned, which will be officially justified by a supposed second and third wave of the pandemic. You are well aware of the means that have been deployed to sow panic and legitimize draconian limitations on individual liberties, artfully provoking a world-wide economic crisis. In the intentions of its architects, this crisis will serve to make the recourse of nations to the Great Reset irreversible, thereby giving the final blow to a world whose existence and very memory they want to completely cancel. But this world, Mr. President, includes people, affections, institutions, faith, culture, traditions, and ideals: people and values that do not act like automatons, who do not obey like machines, because they are endowed with a soul and a heart, because they are tied together by a spiritual bond that draws its strength from above, from that God that our adversaries want to challenge, just as Lucifer did at the beginning of time with his “non serviam.”

Many people – as we well know – are annoyed by this reference to the clash between Good and Evil and the use of “apocalyptic” overtones, which according to them exasperates spirits and sharpens divisions. It is not surprising that the enemy is angered at being discovered just when he believes he has reached the citadel he seeks to conquer undisturbed. What is surprising, however, is that there is no one to sound the alarm. The reaction of the deep state to those who denounce its plan is broken and incoherent, but understandable. Just when the complicity of the mainstream media had succeeded in making the transition to the New World Order almost painless and unnoticed, all sorts of deceptions, scandals and crimes are coming to light.

Until a few months ago, it was easy to smear as “conspiracy theorists” those who denounced these terrible plans, which we now see being carried out down to the smallest detail. No one, up until last February, would ever have thought that, in all of our cities, citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street, to breathe, to want to keep their business open, to want to go to church on Sunday. Yet now it is happening all over the world, even in picture-postcard Italy that many Americans consider to be a small enchanted country, with its ancient monuments, its churches, its charming cities, its characteristic villages. And while the politicians are barricaded inside their palaces promulgating decrees like Persian satraps, businesses are failing, shops are closing, and people are prevented from living, traveling, working, and praying. The disastrous psychological consequences of this operation are already being seen, beginning with the suicides of desperate entrepreneurs and of our children, segregated from friends and classmates, told to follow their classes while sitting at home alone in front of a computer.

In Sacred Scripture, Saint Paul speaks to us of “the one who opposes” the manifestation of the mystery of iniquity, the kathèkon (2 Thess 2:6-7). In the religious sphere, this obstacle to evil is the Church, and in particular the papacy; in the political sphere, it is those who impede the establishment of the New World Order.

As is now clear, the one who occupies the Chair of Peter has betrayed his role from the very beginning in order to defend and promote the globalist ideology, supporting the agenda of the deep church, who chose him from its ranks.

Mr. President, you have clearly stated that you want to defend the nation – One Nation under God, fundamental liberties, and non-negotiable values that are denied and fought against today. It is you, dear President, who are “the one who opposes” the deep state, the final assault of the children of darkness.

For this reason, it is necessary that all people of good will be persuaded of the epochal importance of the imminent election: not so much for the sake of this or that political program, but because of the general inspiration of your action that best embodies – in this particular historical context – that world, our world, which they want to cancel by means of the lockdown. Your adversary is also our adversary: it is the Enemy of the human race, He who is “a murderer from the beginning” (Jn 8:44).

Around you are gathered with faith and courage those who consider you the final garrison against the world dictatorship. The alternative is to vote for a person who is manipulated by the deep state, gravely compromised by scandals and corruption, who will do to the United States what Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doing to the Church, Prime Minister Conte to Italy, President Macron to France, Prime Minster Sanchez to Spain, and so on. The blackmailable nature of Joe Biden – just like that of the prelates of the Vatican’s “magic circle” – will expose him to be used unscrupulously, allowing illegitimate powers to interfere in both domestic politics as well as international balances. It is obvious that those who manipulate him already have someone worse than him ready, with whom they will replace him as soon as the opportunity arises.

And yet, in the midst of this bleak picture, this apparently unstoppable advance of the “Invisible Enemy,” an element of hope emerges. The adversary does not know how to love, and it does not understand that it is not enough to assure a universal income or to cancel mortgages in order to subjugate the masses and convince them to be branded like cattle. This people, which for too long has endured the abuses of a hateful and tyrannical power, is rediscovering that it has a soul; it is understanding that it is not willing to exchange its freedom for the homogenization and cancellation of its identity; it is beginning to understand the value of familial and social ties, of the bonds of faith and culture that unite honest people. This Great Reset is destined to fail because those who planned it do not understand that there are still people ready to take to the streets to defend their rights, to protect their loved ones, to give a future to their children and grandchildren. The leveling inhumanity of the globalist project will shatter miserably in the face of the firm and courageous opposition of the children of Light. The enemy has Satan on its side, He who only knows how to hate. But on our side, we have the Lord Almighty, the God of armies arrayed for battle, and the Most Holy Virgin, who will crush the head of the ancient Serpent. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom 8:31).

Mr. President, you are well aware that, in this crucial hour, the United States of America is considered the defending wall against which the war declared by the advocates of globalism has been unleashed. Place your trust in the Lord, strengthened by the words of the Apostle Paul: “I can do all things in Him who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13). To be an instrument of Divine Providence is a great responsibility, for which you will certainly receive all the graces of state that you need, since they are being fervently implored for you by the many people who support you with their prayers.

With this heavenly hope and the assurance of my prayer for you, for the First Lady, and for your collaborators, with all my heart I send you my blessing.

God bless the United States of America!

China Prepares For Falling Population as Fertility Crashes

21st Century Herald: 多地出台鼓励生育政策背后：00后比90后少了4700万

"In the past, I wanted to give birth but could not give birth, but didn't dare to give birth, but now I was urged to give birth without giving birth, and the times have really changed!" After repeatedly urging her daughter to give birth to no results, Ms. Huang, 52, had no choice but to give up.

She couldn't figure it out: Now that the eldest daughter has been married for several years, she still refuses to have a baby after all persuasion.

"Marriage is not the beginning of a real marital life, it is the birth of a child." Ms. Huang's daughter Chen Ling (pseudonym) confessed that she currently has a small house and a car in Beijing. Although she has the foundation to have children, once she has children, Life is no longer as simple as the two-person world. "Let's wait any longer."

The number of Chinese age 10 to 20 is nearly 50 million less than the number of 20-to-30 year-olds.

Falling fertility is the price of using women to produce GDP instead of children. Materialist philosophies push religion and tradition out of society and replace it with money. Once enough people have shifted into GDP-production and mass consumption, the feedback loop kicks in. Peer pressure pushes young people to study longer, take on debt, delay marriage and family formation. Rising per capita household income drives up the cost of real estate. Keeping up with the Jonses becomes more expensive. (Neighbors of lottery winners are more likely to go bankrupt)

China's fertility rate is converging with the rest of East Asia, which is lower than replacement level. Policies such as the two=child policy produce small temporary effects that are quickly overwhelmed by long-established trends:

The first batch of single children with two children entered kindergarten in 2017. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, children admitted to kindergarten in 2017 did reverse the previous downward trend, an increase of 158,700 compared with 2016. However, by 2018, the number of children enrolled in kindergartens across the country decreased by 740,000 compared with the previous year, and the number of children enrolled in kindergartens in 2019 was again reduced by 1.75 million from the previous year.

China is uniquely positioned to reverse fertility because it has total control over the culture. If it wants to change it can, but this might require an entirely new approach to economic development as well:

More policies to encourage fertility
Facing the situation of the birth population that has fallen too fast, the family planning policy that has been implemented frequently for decades has been quietly changing.

Following the deletion of the "implementation of family planning" in the marriage and family chapter of the "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China" adopted by the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress, on June 3, Article 15 of the "Regulations on Population and Family Planning of Henan Province" Amend the paragraph to read: "Promote a couple (including remarried couples) to have two children."

On June 9, Ningxia deleted the provision of "expulsion beyond birth" for public officials in the revised family planning regulations. Previously, it also proposed that employers be encouraged to give 10 days of joint parental leave each year to their spouses each year when their children are 0 to 3 years old.

In addition, since this year, many places have also introduced a series of measures to encourage fertility. For example, Beijing adjusted the treatment of childbirth medical expenses, Guangdong required the full implementation of maternity leave, and Guizhou proposed that it should not be dismissed due to the pregnancy of female employees.

"Some of these policies are corrections to past policies and some are responses to national policies. Generally speaking, they are developing in a looser direction." But Huang Wenzheng believes that the effectiveness of related policies in improving fertility remains to be seen.

The current fertility encouragement policies in various countries can be divided into three categories: financial support (that is, cash, food stamps, or tax relief for families with children), day care and education support (that is, education subsidies), pregnancy and childbirth Benefits (such as paid maternity leave).

However, Wang Hui and others from Peking University Guanghua School of Management found that the effect of subsidies is not significant in the economic sense. It pointed out in the article "Challenges of Population Changes and Aging in the 70 Years of New China" that the average consumption of 10% of GDP as a subsidy can make each family have one more child, and the cost is very high.

"Fundamentally, it is necessary to coordinate fertility policies at the national level." Lu Jiehua, a professor at the Department of Sociology at Peking University, believes.

Population issues need to be planned in advance
According to the forecast of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2019, if China's total fertility rate has been maintained at 1.6, the negative population growth will occur early in 2027.

"Now, if the fertility policy is not adjusted, the inflection point of negative population growth may arrive earlier than 2027." Lu Jiehua said in an interview because the calculation at that time was based on the total fertility rate of 1.6, and the current fertility level is already It fell to about 1.5.

"Whether it is the experience of various parts of East Asia or various analyses, the later the low fertility rate, the harder it will be to deal with." Huang Wenzheng emphasized that it takes 20 years for a person to fully enter the economic cycle from birth. The impact of growth lags behind by about 20 years, and population issues must be planned in advance.

Lu Jiehua also holds this view. In his view, the birth policy should continue to be adjusted. At the same time, the fertility policy is not a one-off. "The effect of the maternity support policy will be more obvious." Huang Wenzheng suggested that the policy formulation needs to first solve the problem of high cost of care for infants and young children aged 0-3 and 3-6 years old in order to effectively encourage and increase the fertility rate.

At the same time, the issue of gender inequality should also attract attention. Lu Jiehua emphasized that after the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy, many companies have a negative attitude towards recruiting female employees and need to strengthen the protection of women's rights and interests from the institutional level.

Feminism is a materialist philosophy designed to boost economic production. Anyone coming from a pro-feminist viewpoint will fail to boost fertility. Assuming China will stick with materialist philosophy and the CCP won't allow rival belief systems (such as Christianity and Islam), one way to boost fertility might be to encourage "professional" motherhood. The state could pay mothers substantial salaries if the have 6+ children (via tax credits), perhaps including free villas in planned communities for these high-fertility families. Another would be to use the state's full power over media to push parenthood. Encourage celebrities and government officials to have more children. Make a new rule in the party: you cannot be promoted to a public role unless you have at least 2 children, and having more children boosts your "score" for promotion. That might get fertility back towards replacement or stabilize it at a higher sub-replacement rate.

In short, shifting the trend in fertility requires a Herculean effort. Assuming this is the state's goal, the most sustainable option is fundamental reform of religion and politics. Barring that, the state must take extreme efforts to counteract its fertility-suppressing ideology. Until there is a shocking policy announcement, the safe bet is that long-term fertility will trend downward until it stabilizes, likely because of natural selection. At some point, people who prefer having children over increased consumption will grow within the gene pool. It would likely have to be a genetic trait in a state such as China since materialism is the ruling ideology and allows no competition. In the West, minority populations such as traditionalist Christians, including the Amish, will stabilize fertility sooner.
