In France, sedevacantist chapels such as the Society of Saint Pius V draw crowds weary of modernism.

The Society of Saint Pius V only operates in North America. It has no churches in Europe.

Maybe the author meant SSPX, rather than SSPV; but SSPX isn’t technically Sedevacantist.

Asking others to do heavy lifting research for you is pretty lazy, wouldn’t you agree?

I was merely asking Ron Unz for his opinion, which he is often more than happy to give, and whether he had heard anything.

No need to rant.

Hey Ron,

Has the Trump Administration released this year anything that wasn’t already available to the public on Epstein or JFK?

Not what I expected to read on Unz.

Before we get diverted to strife. I offer culture.

Plenty of people have access to this “highly sensitive” system. The fact that the Elon guys aren’t on the federal payroll means nothing. If something goes missing, you can bet they would be the first ones investigated.

By whom? The investigators are being pushed out.

Will you have any events in Northern California this year?

Well it’s looking like “the falcon has heard the falconer” as more and more of the media are finally taking Steve Sailer’s longtime assessment of popular sociopath Ibram X. Kendi to heart.

Better late than never, I suppose:

The commenting system on Unz is far better then twitter or other sites.

Of course deflation is bad. You borrow money to produce something, and you can only sell the product for less than you planned, plus you have to pay back the loan, if you can, with money that’s more valuable. Food prices plummeted early in the Depression, and many farmers lost their land and livelihood. Businesses with large inventories went bust. Homeowners couldn’t pay their mortgages. Then the government tried to fix things and made them worse.

Something I really respect about you is that you don’t try too hard to be popular.

You know better than I do that a grifter in your position would change their blog to, “HoLoCAusT is FaKE! CoViD is FaKE! GAzA is FaKE! ThE DoLLaR is FaKE! FLouRiDE is FaKE! ANtarCTicA is FaKE! BUY MY LIVER DEFENDER VITAMINS! INVEST IN MY CRYPTO ASSET PORTFOLIO AI SPAC!” And be a lot more popular, wealthy, and with much less hate mail.

Congratulations on the Substack!

I remember you from the old blog.

Outside of big metros, being fat isn’t a class marker for older men. Plenty of rich paunchy men, possibly even the majority. Like our fine President for example.

Our fine President is from New York City.

Mr. small hands just has major ego issues. In a month he will be on to something else like renaming French Fries or New Mexico.

Don’t give him any ideas.

Nice try, Jack. Sort of like linking the Holocaust to the tooth fairy or something. That work?

Oh my… is that post an example of what a wag once astutely described as “point and sputter”? LOL. Steve, despite your slower pace of uploads here on Unz, you continue to entertain, and for that I am grateful.

Here’s Smilin’ Joe Biden bragging ab0ut forcing the government of Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma

You have it backwards. The prosecutor was fired because he WASN’T aggressively investigating corruption.

Then there are the payments to various Biden family members, amounting to several million dollars, shuffled around and filtered by numerous shell-companies, that were uncovered by James Comer’s committee.

If that clown Comer had actually found anything illegal, there would have been charges.

You want a smoking gun for rampant corruption? It’s all on Hunter Biden’s own laptop, which the Feds pretended didn’t exist and then sat on.

The only smoking gun you guys found on Hunter’s laptop is his dick.

He was a Trump appointed attorney

Indeed. And you’d have to be pretty stupid to think that a Republican attorney would be doing any favors for Biden, when destroying the Biden family would be so great for an ambitious Republican’s career.

You claim to be so dedicated to this racial litmus test, yet you repeatedly avoid defining anti-white and offering specific examples.

“Having Sailer types negotiate for whites is a disaster.”

You’re assuredly not doing any better.

“My best guess is that after October 7, 2023, the Power Elites decided that they were going to allow Trump to be installed as POTUS.”

I supposed it’s easier for you to make believe rather than deal with reality. This is your logic–the Election of 2020 was stolen because the “Power Elites” (whomever you are) wanted it that way, but then became convinced in 2024 to let Trump win, because reasons.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

Indeed, ask Michael Cohen.

Trump should give Louis Farrakhan the Presidential Medal of Freedom just for the LOLs.

“No Christmas tree in Damascus this year.”

Guess the Jews will have to find something else to bomb.

‘…This is National Review level of weakness.’

Whether it’s weakness depends on what you think the goal is.

Republicans were making a big stink about Hunter and his shady business dealings, which included his father. Biden’s DoJ had to do something to appear impartial, even though they aren’t.

They’re still making a big stink.

The charges against Hunter didn’t stop any Republicans from calling Biden corrupt.

They’re still doing it. But they still don’t have any solid evidence of this corruption. Where’s the smoking gun? There isn’t one.

If the charges (brought by a Trump-appointed special counsel) were a ruse to distract from anything, it was to distract from the lack of solid evidence of corruption.

If the special counsel had such evidence, there would have been corruption charges.

You’re deliberately missing the point. Trump was going to get the full Beria treatment. Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. The cover was for the benefit of Biden and the Democratic Party. Not Trump.

You must be thinking of Hunter Biden.

What “Trump-appointed special prosecutor?” Jack Smith? LOLOL
What “Trump-appointed judge?” Tanya Chutkin? Or Reggie Walton? LOLOL

I was taking about the judge and the special prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case.

Yes, you’re definitely confusing Hunter Biden with Donald Trump.

My best guess is that after October 7, 2023, the Power Elites decided that they were going to allow Trump to be installed as POTUS.

Why didn’t the Power Elites just rig the election, like they did back in 2020 when Trump was President?

If it were up to people like you, Jack Smith, and Merrick Garland, Trump would be in prison for the rest of his life and penniless. The alleged offense doesn’t really matter to such people. But there was no ruse as far as Trump was concerned.

Projection.

Pretty snazzy, Steve! I might buy a copy or two.

Corvinus the hasbara troll:…….Those are the same seats from which “our” Congress people jump, to give your goddamned war criminal Netanyahu dozens of standing ovations each time he disgraces the place while extorting weapons & war for your goddamned Terrorist Theocracy of Israel.

Corvinus may be many things but a ‘hasbara troll’ isn’t one of them. He has spent the last year castigating Israelis as genocidaires.

It allows the MSM to pretend that the law is being applied fairly and equally while giving cover to ignore the far more serious crimes–the blatant selling of access to Joe Biden. Corruption that very well may have led to the Ukraine debacle.

So it was all a ruse, and the Trump-appointed special prosecutor and Trump-appointed judge went along with it. Cool story, boomer.

Concerning Hunter Biden’s convictions, they were a ruse. The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal provides the following succinct description of the real story:

“Hunter Biden’s conviction was bogus, and he committed the infraction while in the throes of addiction. But he only got a gun rap to avoid prosecuting him for his sordid role in Project Ukraine, which would have also implicated his father in a truly criminal foreign influence op.”

That’s one of the dumbest theories I’ve seen in a long time, and I’ve seen you guys post a lot of dumb theories on this site.

Charging someone with one crime doesn’t get them off the hook on a completely different alleged crime. That’s not how the law works.

It wouldn’t even be a distraction. Who has it distracted? The people who were calling the Biden family corrupt before Hunter was charged with anything are still calling them corrupt.

Do you think that Donald Trump was charged with crimes in New York to distract from unrelated crimes he is alleged to have committed in Florida? I doubt it.

Having a real take on Hunter’s pardon would require Steve to have noticed things like the J6 political prisoners, the Lawfare against Trump, the Ukraine war, or Biden’s bribery racket. But such concerns are outside the “Sailer Window” (which is really more like a couple pin pricks in a window blind. So all he’s got is basically “it would be nice if Trump was nice to Biden.”

Steve’s “Noticing” long ago crossed into self-parody. He’s got about four points he notices: (a) Blacks have low IQs and need preferences to compete; (b) Middle age M-F trannies are perverts; (c) Jews are high-IQ and awesome and do no wrong; and (d) The NYT is biased about race issues. Even where he notices something like anti-white “race communism” his only deep intellectual conclusion is basically “everything is good in moderation.”

As we know, Jan. 6 was an insurrection. Protesters broke into a Federal building, on their own behalf, destroying federal property, beating up Capitol police, and refusing to honor the requests of law enforcement to vacate the premises. Unfortunately, a white woman chose to ignore repeated warnings to leave and chose to enter a restricted area where police had drawn their weapons. She put herself in harm’s way. Had she been black, you would be telling us she deserved it.

Never mind all that, let’s take a knee to a violent career criminal who OD’d — our beloved George Floyd.

Hunter was charged, convicted, and ultimately pardoned for lying on his ATF form 4473 and income tax evasion – crimes that the DoJ would have happily prosecuted anyone of us for

Really? Show me a felony prosecution of a non-felon for merely checking the wrong box on an ATF form, no illicit gun dealing, nobody getting mugged, or shot, etc..

He paid his taxes late, then paid interest and penalties. Many people have done the same thing without getting hit with a felony.

So f**k Hunter, and f**k you too.

Wow! Little Miss Snowflake really got triggered!

Biden should issue more pardons.

Three I would suggest are Thomas Drake, Jeffrey Sterling, and Reality Winner.

Obama would probably be quite upset about the first two pardons; but Biden might like that.

But if you have been immunized, then the 5th Amendment is no longer available as a defense and you can be held in contempt and imprisoned if you refuse to give testimony.

Hunter could always answer “I do not recall”.

It worked for John Poindexter.

And as a recovering drug addict, Hunter could conceivably have issues with his memory during that period, which was years ago now.

[what happened to the post about out of wedlock stats?]

Tangentially, I think I figured out the key insight into that graph on the cover of Peter Turchin’s Ages of Discord, if anyone is interested to hear it. What does economic inequality have to do with violence in a society where poor people are more likely to be obese? The answer to that turns out to be simple: marriage rates.

Finding a mate is a matter of relative wealth. If economic inequality is increasing, more men are having a harder time finding a mate. Then they become incels. And those are the guys that become violent. Why do men who don’t have wives become violent? That seems like an age old question. But it is pretty obvious when you read the incels who make light of mass shootings that that particular state of life is not conducive to a healthy regard for human life and peaceful society.

I emailed Prof Turchin about this point but I was very disappointed that he has not gotten back to me. It seems like a very important insight to be aware of. It also seems like it is right up Steve’s alley, what with his theory of Affordable Family Formation having held up so well over the years. I think we can say that if war is the health of the state, then marriage is the health of society.

If I was a Red State A.G. I would be combing that drive for prosecutable state crimes in my state.

That sounds like weaponizing the justice system.

Red State AG’s have already been doing this for years. Republican politicians know that charging a Biden would be great political capital for the Republican primary of a Senate or Governor election.

I guess Biden changed his mind.

She’s right.

This reminds me of what Steve said about concentric circles of loyalty.

Right again. She gets it.

Biden was right to pardon his son.

Hunter wouldn’t have been charged if he weren’t Biden’s son. The justice system was weaponized against him to score political points. And it was a huge waste of taxpayer funds.

Where Biden was wrong is in not forcefully calling out this political fishing expedition years ago. He let Republicans, Fox News, talk radio, and social media spin doctors control the narrative.

‘Hamlet, Shakespeare’s most profound play, in Act 2 Scene 2 has the play within a play, in which Hecuba sees her husband being slaughtered by Ajax amid the destruction of Troy. It is said her outcry would move the gods, “unless things mortal move them not at all”. This idea apparently existed in ancient Greece, with the philosopher Democritus, who was the first to raise the idea of atomic structure, being a proponent.’

There’s a Doonesbury cartoon, in which the Vietnamese character is caught in a B-52 raid and goes off into a screaming rant against the American war criminals, etc, shaking his fist at the sky and frothing with rage.

The last panel shows the pilot and copilot of the B-52, discussing last night’s basketball score as they turn for home.

That God is moved by our travails is a pleasant conceit — but I see no convincing reason to think that He does. The thought is oppressive, but I suspect He’s not there at all. Again, beyond the fact that we need Him to be, I don’t see a reason to think He is.

God will never forgive you. You’re a bigot, filled with mindless, unprovoked hate. If He is there, you are damned.

You missed an opportunity with that sign.

You guys could have put “the whole whole world is noticing”.

Jerome Powell isn’t an Economist.

He has a BA in Poli Sci and a JD.

He’s still much better at his job than Greenspan, and his mentor Burns, were. Lots of people who got their degrees generations ago would be laughed at today. Economists born before 1950 tended to be full of themselves.

I think that what Economists tend to believe is that, in the long run, immigrants don’t “take people’s jobs”. In the short run, the economy takes time to adjust.

Sure, someone is always betrayed. But the mutual defense pact between Czechoslovakia, France, and the USSR was a farce. None of these countries trusted each other, so they created an agreement with conditions that would give them a way out of war. The Soviets could say that it was France’s responsibility to defend Czechoslovakia, and France could say that the Soviets would just watch France and Germany destroy each other, perhaps coming in later at a time of their own choosing. And then Stalin could always claim Poland or Romania wouldn’t let the Red Army pass through. Anyway, in the moment of truth, it became a political football to kick back and forth. If Benes drafted the treaty, then he should have seen these obvious problems.

That very day in Prague, May 16, foreign minister Beneš and Soviet envoy Sergei Alexandrovsky signed a mutual assistance pact. Beneš had drafted the text. He, understandably, did not want to dilute France’s obligations and was anxious not to allow the Soviets to invoke the pact on their own and possibly draw Czechoslovakia into a Soviet-Polish conflict. The Soviets, predictably, were keen to have France retain the main burden and themselves avoid being drawn into a possible German-Czechoslovak conflict over Austria. And so, even though the Czechoslovak-Soviet treaty carried the same obligation of mutual assistance in the event of a third-party attack as did the Franco-Soviet pact, a special clause stated that the Soviets were obliged to act only if the French fulfilled their obligations first.

I think he means they were both Republicans or at least pro-Trump, anti-Obama, and perhaps anti-black. And I think both were Zionists and had no real problem with Israelis exterminating Palestinians in general. All more or less standard opinions for conservative Jews.

Eygi came to this country when she was less than one — and if you’d ever been in Turkey, you’d realize they’re at least as white as Greeks.

But more importantly, notice the discreet lack of coverage on the part of the mainstream US media. This killing has gotten more coverage everywhere in the world than it has here.

So far, have these post-Noticing “S S Menace” articles caused you any problems in real life, Steve?

I don’t think I will. What would be the point? When people go out on a limb with some new absurd narrative any discussion would be incoherent.

“Stalin was marching on Germany to murder millions in 1941 and Nazis only acted in self-defense.” That’s not even new. It was the official line in Europe (minus UK) between 1941-45. Maybe Emil is just a frustrated Vichist…

…The future looks bleak.

It would be chaos. Anything between a catastrophic setback throwing us back hundreds of years and an end-to-humanity.

The best way to avoid a nuclear war is not by banning nukes but by not having all-or-nothing wars. We don’t seem capable of that. The West has lost the art of a compromise and they predictably project their own recklessness on the enemies. The idea that China, Russia, Iran, or even North Korea, are hellbent on world domination is ludicrous – they are not, they are very regionally oriented, provincial in their outlook and generally a lot more cautious than the West defending against them.

If you add up the ‘enemies’ most maximalist goals it would be to have control over a few provinces-countries that neighbor them, to have unhindered free trade, and above all to be left alone at home. Those are not reasons to risk destroying the world. The rapid escalation of the war fever in the last few years is not based on anything real – the West wanted to score points by using their monopoly on propaganda and too many people ended up believing it – but not in the enemy countries, at home in the West.

This is a very stupid situation. People pretend that destroying mankind over issues like who runs Donbas schools or to what degree is the Chinese province of Taiwan ‘independent’ (not much) is normal. It’s not – if the West would simply calm down, stay mostly at home, let the regional conflicts resolve as they always historically do, or even let them burn out, we would be much safer. Who are these idiots obsessed with minutia control of everything around the world? It almost looks like some sort of a mental disease.

It’s still the only pplace where there is a half intelligent reasonably infomred debate about Russia that I’ve found. It’s never reached the standards of Anatoly’s original blog but it is still head and shoulders above anything else. Most of the rest of the site is a cesspit.

You’re illustrating an important point: no matter how much Musk flatters Republicans, grass roots Republicans will hate Tesla.

On the other hand, Republican Elites like DeSantis can give Tesla huge gifts, and grass roots people don’t seem to notice.

“They” isn’t wrong.

Here’s an example:

Bob: “What did they want?”

Musk makes a vast majority of his money selling electric cars.

One of the main threats to his business is right wingers seeing electric vehicles as left-coded. He’s afraid that Republicans will go out of their way to destroy his industry “to own the libs”, so he wants Republicans to consider him part of their team, so they support him, rather than waging war against him.

He’s right to fear Republicans. Republicans have passed a number of anti-EV laws in several states.

I believe “the River” is a reference to Texas hold ‘em Poker.

The River is the fifth (and final) community card dealt. Players only learn the identity of the River after the first three betting rounds. It’s actually a great term for the expected value guys, provided you’re familiar with Poker.

I’m not so sure about “the Village”. It might be a reference to traditional small village life, where decisions are based on consensus and precedent, and people fear ostracism. Perhaps Nate considers the network of Ivy League educated elites to be like a small pre-industrial village.

It seems that neopronouns have been around a long time.

From the Qualtrics XM website:

Elverson of Illinois, won a Chicago Association of Business Communicators competition to find replacements for she/he, him/her, and his/hers”. Her ‘transgender pronouns’ as she called them – ey, em, and eir were created by losing the “th” from they, them, and their.

After the nominee is determined, Biden should resign.

Over the last few months, Biden had lost people’s confidence that he can perform as President during the next few years.

He isn’t getting any younger.

There was a missed opportunity here in America a little over 30 years ago. What held the Republican coalition together until the nineties was opposition to Marxism. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the neocons in the party were able to replace the Marxist menace with the Muslim menace. Over the next couple decades the leading conservative intellectual journal, National Review, slowly got rid of writers not fully on board with this like Joseph Sobran, Peter Brimelow, Steve Sailer and John Derbyshire.

The road not taken was the alliance between paleocons like Pat Buchanan and paleolibertarians like Murray Rothbard. This alliance was based on a rejection of “invade the world; invite the world”. If this faction had been able to gain control of the Republican party, this country would likely be in better shape today.

More like a Nascar race. People come for the wrecks.

Hitler may have had an accent very close to Bavaria’s (perhaps Dieter might clarify), but that was one of his worst performing areas in the early ’30s. Only the the equally Catholic Rhineland was worse. (And Berlin, if this map is to be believed.) Kind of like Upstate New York rejecting FDR, or the City Trump.

Him being second generation developer, I find it hard to believe he would have allowed himself to be even remotely connected to any of the shady practices that go on in construction. He has people who have people who have people that handle that stuff and I doubt his name would have ever even been mentioned.

Further, dredging up some scandal from 30 years ago might require bringing up the names of a lot of investors, politicians and other business people who were involved as well.

Trump has always been a carnival barker who frolicked with “Mob-type” characters, or unsavory people. In other words, he worked with the underbelly of NYC.

What evidence do you have in support of this assertion?

Evidence against it includes Trump being longtime friends with Giuliani, who was the scourge of the mob in New York as a U.S. Attorney, and Trump never being even charged with a crime of any kind, IIRC, in the first 75 years of his life.

One lesson Fred taught Donald was to make friends with those on both sides of the aisle. Or at least don’t make enemies.
