CHRISTIE DELIVERS "KILL SHOT" ON TRUMP IN LATEST DEBATE

Looks like Donald Trump has finally had his goose cooked after rival GOP Presidential candidate Chris Christie compared the ex-President to a duck for being too chicken to join the GOP debate.

"I want you to look at that camera right now, Donald," Christie said, addressing Trump during the debate. "I know you're watching. You can't help yourself. I know you're watching. Okay. And you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because of your indictments. You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. You're ducking these things. And let me tell you what's going to happen. You keep doing that. No one up here is going to call you Donald Trump anymore. We're going to call you a Donald Duck."

Ouch! Looks like Trump is toast after that kill shot. Can't see him coming back from that.

Meanwhile, Trump compared his fellow GOP hopefuls to "job candidates" hoping to get a job in his next administration.

With such a high level of debate, one can now see why American politics is the envy of the World. 

THE WEAKNESS OF RUSSIA IS MOST EVIDENT IN THE COLLAPSE OF ARMENIA

The increasing weakness of Russia, due to its losses in Ukraine, is nowhere more apparent than in the collapse of its geopolitical position in the Caucasus. Here, Russia's ally, Armenia, has suffered the loss of its Nagorno-Karabakh enclave to Azerbaijan, while Russian forces, supposed to guarantee the existence of the enclave, could only look on impotently. Now Armenia has awoken from its folly of aligning with Russia, and is seeking friends and allies in the West.

THEY DID NOT "NAZI" THIS COMING: TIME TO UPDATE THE 'N' WORD

 

OK, internet, do your thing!

by Colin Liddell

I Guess we should be glad that the Ukrainians managed to apparently "trick" the Canadian Parliament into giving a standard innovation to an ex-Nazi fighter, because the internet, as always, needed a new piece of hysteria bait after about one week of Russell Brand's now tedious "#MeToo" allegations. 

The story we're all supposed to pull our hair out about this time can be summed up by this quote from the Independent newspaper:

Canada’s House of Commons gave a rousing standing ovation to a Ukrainian veteran who fought in the Second World War – unaware he had served in a Nazi SS unit.

Yaroslav Hunka, 98, was sitting in the gallery when he was described as a “Ukrainian hero” and a “Canadian hero” to applause from prime minister Justin Trudeau and president Volodymyr Zelensky.

However, leaders were left red-faced when House speaker Anthony Rota subsequently apologised after it emerged that Hunka served in the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division, a voluntary unit made up mostly of ethnic Ukrainians under Nazi command.

An innocent misunderstanding, obviously.

But this is exactly the sort of thing the desperate Kremlin propaganda machine needs right now:

"Oh my God! See, we were RIGHT -- the invasion of the Ukraine IS a denascification operation. Even we didn't believe that, but now we do, blah, blah, blah."

Yawn... The real problem here, of course, is the over-hystericized meaning of the "N word" (by which of course I mean "Nazi," not the other one).

Despite constant misuse and overuse, up until 2022, the N-word meant two things: (1) a historical term for followers of the NSDAP, and (2) someone more contemporary who continued to ascribed all, or the majority of, the evils in the world to a certain biblical-related ethnicity.

After 2022 it means another thing as well. No, not the dumb Russian attempt to justify it's unprovoked mass invasion of its large generally peaceful neighbour. After 2022, "Nazi" now means -- and should mean -- someone who violently invades someone else's country without a generally agreed moral reason.

Right now the term "Nazi" applies to one better than President Putin and his gang of assholes, and, in a lesser sense, to the pathetic Russian people who allow this pointless war to continue relatively unchallenged in their homeland, because they've clearly been Nazified by Russian "de-Nazification" propaganda.

As for Yaroslav Hunka, this guy was a Nazi almost a hundred years ago, and then that was as a Slav fighting for a Nazi regime that was planning to genocide tens of millions of Slavs, because (guess what?) Eastern European history has always been a bit of mess. But messes have to stop sometime, not be used to make ever more messes.

YOUTUBE'S DEPLATFORMING OF BRAND IS REINFORCING CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND SOCIAL PARANOIA

Demonetization AIDs

by Colin Liddell

I'm not that interested in Russell Brand's shambolic love life, which has now come back to bugger him royally up the ass, but what I am interested in is the whole process by which his content is now being expunged from the internet, and the unintended effects this is having.

Really, this is a bad move by the authorities, because, if this was just an innocent little prosecution about some run-of-the-mill raping back in the day, then they should be leaving his content well and truly alone, and just focus on getting a nice, clean rape conviction.

I mean, you are still allowed to send people to jail for that, which should be enough, if the dude is in fact guilty. 

Instead of that, Brand's entire content on YouTube has now been demonetized on spurious grounds. Attempts have been made to demonetize his content on other platforms, too. Things are likely to go further than that, and there must be a good chance of Brand's entire YouTube channel being erased at some point. 

Also, it looks like Brand's content, which benefits from a lot of shares and boosting from other accounts and channels (many of them highly suspicious and probably serving Kremlin polarisation ops), now has "demonetization AIDs", meaning that there is a high possibility of channels that share Brand's content being "infected" with the demonetization process: 

The problem here is that we live in increasingly conspiritard times characterised by social paranoia, and taking down some hairy asshole's vax-sceptical content just because he may or may not have "raped" some women years ago, is not going to send out the message that YouTube thinks it is, namely that it is trying to protect its "users, employees or ecosystem." Nor are they going convince even one person that that Brand has fallen short of their nebulously-written and essentially meaningless "Creator Responsibility Policy.”

No, the real message YouTube is sending out to Brand's 6.65 million subscribers and the tens of millions of people who are closely following the case, is that "Rusty Rockets" must be "too close to the target" because he's picking up a lot of flak.

In short, in the same way that the ADL/SPLC unwittingly validate anti-Semitic bullshit conspiracy theories by their heavy-handed efforts to deflatform Neo-Nazis, instead of engaging with their content, YouTube, with its Orwellian behaviour and pretence that its interested in the "moral character" of its creators, unwittingly validates all of their more outlandish conspiracy theories, and, in the process, makes our culture all the more toxic.

STING WAS WRONG: The RUSSIANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THEIR STUPID-ASS KIDS

Back in 1985 or whenever it was, pop singer Sting did a song about how the Russians didn't like war either, because they "loved their kids too," just like people in the West.

In fact, the former frontman for "The Police" even ripped off a bit of Prokofiev and penned some sappy lyrics, and even got a hit from it all, singing lines like:

Mr. Reagan says we will protect you

I don’t subscribe to this point of view

Believe me when I say to you

I hope the Russians love their children too

The whole point of the song was that nuclear war was bad (duh!) and that Russian are "caring, feeling human beings," just like people in the West, who don't want their children to be fried to a crisp in Armageddon!

The lyrics of this 1985 pop song couldn't be more wrong

He "kinda sorta" got away with this garbage, because Russia at the time was, by some weird fluke, temporarily ruled over by a rather decent dude called Mikhail Gorbachev, instead of some genocidal maniac, like it normally is. "Gorby" thought that war sucked, especially if you were Russian, probably because they are so crap at it. 

However, the latest figures out of the Ukraine, showing hundreds of thousands of Russian corpses and nearly a million in total causalities, suggest that Mr. Sting was way off the mark with his dumb lyrics:

These show that the Russians clearly don't give a single flying fuck about their "nearest and dearest," and would probably prefer to see them all turned into hamburger meat at the nearest possible opportunity, just so Putin could claim that he is "de-Nazifying" the Ukraine and they could get an increased gruel ration. 

NETANYAHU DROPS "GENOCIDAL" MAP OF MIDDLE EAST IN U.N. SPEECH

Israel's embattled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ready to envisage a World without Palestine -- and therefore, by implication, without Palestinians. At least, that's the clear message he gave during a recent speech at the United Nations.

While the speech focused on reaching agreements with nearby Arab nations that he doesn't plan to genocide just yet, the map he used to illustrate the "New Order" he wanted in the Middle East, noticeably omitted Palestine or any mention of Palestinian territories. In fact, all Palestinian territories were shown swallowed up within a 'greater Israel' that has yet to be recognized by any other country.

It is not clear how Netanyahu plans to dispose of the millions of Palestinians still living in what he clearly deems to be "Israel," although the only possibilities include direct extermination, expulsion, or "Israelification" (rather like the "Russification" that Vladimir Putin is attempting in part of Ukraine and the "Sinification" that the Chinese government is implementing with its Uighur and Tibetan areas). 

That Netanyahu is willing to float such radical ideas that would have been anathema in an international forum like the United Nations, is yet further proof that we are moving from a so-called "rules-based" world order, in which issues are mediated through generally agreed moral principles, to a more dangerous one that will based more on Realpolitik and "might is right."

Only a crushing defeat for Russia in its ongoing invasion of Ukrainian territory can halt or slow this global trend, and restore the pre-existing moral order that has allowed Palestinians to hope for the restoration of their state despite constant military failure.

THE MEAT IN THE RUSSELL BRAND SCANDAL SANDWICH

Branded a rapist

Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, the next few days is going to be dominated by the tedious Russell brand scandal. Already, a lot of people are mouthing off their opinions about the motor-mouthed middle-ranking celeb and his previously shagadelic lifestyle. So, just what exactly is all the fuss about?

According to the paywalled story in The Times newspaper spearheading this controversy, Brand has been a bit of a naughty boy. Quoting that source, here are the main allegations:

One woman alleges that Brand raped her against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, according to medical records. Text messages show that in the hours after leaving his house, she told Brand that she had been scared by him and felt taken advantage of, adding: “When a girl say[s] NO it means no.” Brand replied saying he was “very sorry”.

A second woman alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was 31 and she was 16 and still at school. She said he referred to her as “the child” during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship that lasted for about three months, and that Brand once “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke. She says she tried to push him off and said she had to punch him in the stomach to make him stop.

A third woman claims that he sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles, and that he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation.

The fourth described being sexually assaulted by Brand and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her.

Here at Neocrat we are no fans of Brand and his desperate conspiritard attempts to stay relevant, but basically it sounds like a few women having anger and low-self-esteem issues after getting pumped and dumped by a mentally unstable celeb they had thrown themselves at. There is, of course, the possibility that further details and cases may come to light, following this publicity, which may change our initial impression, although by then we will probably have tuned out.

One notable line being pushed on the Conspiritard Right is that, whether Brand is guilty or not, the timing of the allegations is "highly suspicious". Maybe, but these are the same idiots who thought the dumping of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal at the climax of a US Presidential election was not suspicious at all, duh!

A PREP VIDEO FOR WWIII

by Colin Liddell

2022 was the year when everybody had to stop kidding themselves and ignoring the obvious.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while now clearly bogged down and in danger of going into "deep reverse," was nevertheless a blatant challenge to the pre-existing order (essentially a partial or incomplete global system rather than "the Western Empire" that leftists, Alt-Rightists, and Kremlin shills talk about).

In the light of that watershed moment, the disturbing signs from China could also no longer be ignored. The Western imposed/supported global system is in for a serious challenge in the years ahead by a number of states that are prepared to spill a lot of blood and treasure. 

There is an obvious analogy with the pre-WWII period. Up until the invasion of Poland on the 1st of September 1939, everything was still pretty cool, and 'we' were all looking forward to the 1940 Tokyo Olympics. 

What happened?

It was still possible to view "Herr Hitler" as "someone we could do business with,"  as someone whose frequent statements that he didn't want war could be taken at face value, and whose plans for World domination written down for all to see in "Mein Kampf" could be dismissed as some sort of prison-time LARP that didn't accurately represent the senior statesman he had become.

Even the war that had been raging in China between various Chinese forces and the Japanese invaders could be downplayed as just part of the chaos that seemed endemic to that part of the World. 

But after 1st of September, we were clearly in a new paradigm.

Something similar happened on 24th February 2022, the main difference being that the nations or empires arrayed against the never truly completed global system are intrinsically harder to defeat than either Germany, Japan, or Italy. The New Axis that the Western-supported global order faces is Russia, China, and North Korea; and, while the New Axis lacks the ability of the earlier Axis to project power and invade neighbouring countries, they are much tougher as defensive entities and all are nuclear armed. 

A good indicator of how China fits into this picture can be gleamed from the kind of movies it is producing and promoting. A good example that I had the dubious pleasure of watching recently (in Chinese with Japanese subtitles no less) was The Battle at Lake Changjin. At first it had me thinking, "Wow, this is very well-produced for a North Korean movie," as the style was so blatantly propagandistic. But this film, produced in 2021, while most of China was in a severe Covid lockdown, was a massive production and box office smash.

The movie focuses on an historical event, the battle of the title, when a larger Chinese army forced a smaller United Nations force to retreat from North Korea, in the process suffering enormous casualties.

The Chinese Communist heroes are, of course, very humanised, with back stories of big brothers caring and sacrificing for little brothers and of sweethearts left behind, etc., while the evil Americans are portrayed as glib and arrogant until they realise they have met their match in the CCP's supermen.

"Hang in there little bro, we gonna teach them Yankee
running dog imperialists a lesson in manners"

A contrast is also made between Chinese endurance and a willingness to sacrifice blood and guts with American opulence and reliance on technology. In one segment before a major Chinese attack, the Chinese are shown shivering on a snow clad mountain with just a few frozen potatoes for sustenance (one guy cracks his tooth on one of these), while down below in the US lines, they are feasting on a proper Thanksgiving dinner. 

Historical inaccuracies abound -- nowhere is it mentioned that the American action in Korea was a UN-sanctioned effort to defend South Korea from a hostile attack -- and the battle scenes are often ludicrous, as they are designed chiefly to create spectacular vistas 0f CCP bros all charging together into the jaws of death or victory.

Another key point made in the film is that Mao Zedong, shown as a peace-loving ruler (of course!), decides to commit Chinese troops against the "US Imperialists" only after a military briefer states that the U.S. has "already invaded China" by stationing forces in Taiwan.

Before 24th February last year, this could be viewed as mere "entertainment," and even laughed at in that ironic way we respond to the corniness and cliches of old Soviet propaganda, but after that seminal date, there is a chilling feeling that this may actually be a prep video for WWIII.

US soldiers salute their superior opponents who missed the turkey dinner

HOW THE KREMLIN WILL STRIKE BACK AT BRITAIN FOR THE SEBASTOPOL ATTACK

YouTuber John Collins comments on the likelihood and the methods that Russia will use to hit back at Britain for supplying the Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles to attack its naval base at Sebastopol. 

FLASH FLOODING CATASTROPHE IN LIBYA LINKED TO THIRD WORLD OVERPOPULATION

Many on the Green side have been perceptibly energised and even delighted by the flash flooding fatalities in the Libyan town of Derna.

Deaths are now in the 5,000 range and are expected to climb towards 20,000. This is "proof" once more of the "evils" of "man-made climate change" and a "fresh mandate" for a full raft of measures to micromanage your life, down to how you heat/cool your home, what you eat, and how you get around. 

But rain, heavy rain, and flash floods are, of course, nothing new. They have been with us for centuries, In fact, what do you think the Biblical account of Noah's Ark was all about? In more historically reliable times, there have been numerous rain-related disasters. But people just got on with their lives and tried to be ready for next time. 

What Green Fascists fail to focus on in cases like Derna is the fact that Libya has seen a MASSIVE explosion of population, which inevitably means that people end up building homes on land that is infrequently exposed to rare but high-risk events, like the recent run-off from Storm Daniel. They also tend to skimp on flood defences, as who wants to spend money on that when there are so many popularity-enhancing alternatives.

If Storm Daniel had struck in 1960, when Libya was closer to its natural population of under 2 million, then the death toll would probably have been negligible. However, since then, the population has been allowed to soar by around 500%. Even the recent chaos and ongoing civil war has only made a temporary blip in the population rise. 

In the 1850s the population of Derna was around 4,000, climbing to 16,6o9 under Italian colonial rule. More recently it has been around 90,000.

As already heavily populated nations, like China and Japan have long since realised, if you are going to have massive numbers of people living near possible flood exposed areas, then you need to (a) either relocate them, (b) have extremely efficient flood control systems, or (c) just accept the mass fatalities that will occasionally happen with a shrug of the shoulders.

MEMES MAKE YOU LAZY AND ENSLAVE YOUR MIND

by Colin Liddell

Above is a meme posted by Jew-hating, Russian-shilling, race-mixing Ryan Dawson, sometimes called "Lying Dawson." It is not known where or who or what created it.

Other memes like it often surface on the internet, making the point that White, American, or Euro Nationalism is impossible because Asian girls, with their "demure," "feminine," and "wifely" characteristics are intrinsically more attractive to nationalistically-inclined young White men than White women with their sense of "self-entitlement" and "toxic feminism." It is not clear what the purpose of such memes are besides a rather humorous form of blackpilling. 

Any potent or even toxic meme will have some element of truth in it, but this does not mean that the meme is truthful or right. Far from it. In the case of the one above, a quick online search will tell you that the effect of Asian girls on White demographics is extremely limited.

Looking at the latest pre-Covid research on the matter, gives us a picture that contradicts the meme. First of all, only about 10% of Whites who marry in multicultural America marry non-Whites. This is despite the fact that Americans, as citizens of a vast, rich country, can attract marriage partners from all around the world. This figure of around 10% is practically constant and unchanging over several generations. 

The real problem of course is that marriage rates in general are in freefall. 

Also, consider that the children of White/ non-White marriages will generally be counted as non-White. This means that some of the more recent interracial marriages, with "Hapas" or "Hapa hapas," for example, may be "less interracial" than previous ones. 

Significantly, the biggest non-White group that Whites in America marry are not Asians of course, but Hispanics. In fact, twice as many White men marry Latinas than Asian waifus:

Furthermore, it is not clear how many of the 1% or so of White men marrying Asian girls would be marrying White girls if Asian girls were not available. There is often a vituperous debate about this.

There are also additional caveats. "Hispanic" is essentially a linguistically and culturally defined term, rather than a racial one, with many Hispanics being effectively "White"; while a good case could be made that East Asians are actually "more White" than Whites, at least according to Richard Lynn's r/K theory-based racial spectrum, which places Blacks and Asians  at opposite ends of a spectrum of characteristics -- cranial capacity, puberty age, frequency of twins, etc -- with Europeans somewhere in the middle. 

So, blaming East Asian women for the poor demographic performance of European men in America is overstated to a highly misleading degree. 

But all this leads into a greater problem of our age, the problem of the dumbing down of society and our increasing tendency to lazily let memes do our thinking for us.

This is part of the manifestation of the post-humanist tendencies that are emerging everywhere around us now. There is something inherently insect-like and mechanical about the way our social opinions are increasingly shaped by memes, bots, meat bots (like Ryan Dawson), echo-chambers, and algorithms (concocted by sub-human code-writing geeks incapable of normal human contact).

A little old-fashioned human sweat of the brow and the ability to Google reliable sources, however, is enough to free you from such slavery.

Nevertheless, you should always be aware that a meme is a weapon to be used against a target group. It is not something you should be personally consuming yourself. In fact, if you are consuming memes, then basically you are the victim in the equation.

This is because a meme is the over-simplification, decontextualization, and partial representation of selected supporting facts related to an idea or position that you are pushing -- either partly sincerely or totally insincerely (but never entirely sincerely) -- in order to gain attention or have some effect on a target audience. The effect is generally not a positive one.

THE STOOPIDITY OF LAURA LOOMER (AND THE AMERICAN RIGHT)

Performative stupidity?

by Colin Liddell

I think we can all agree that Laura Loomer is a pretty low IQ person, but this just makes her more typical of a lot of the idiots leading and following the American Right Wing and Dissident Right. 

Here is her reaction on Twitter (with nearly 2 million views!) to a flamboyant demonstration of Neo-Nazism that recently took place down in Florida involving a couple of groups called the "Goyim Defence League" and "Blood Tribe":

Kent "Boneface" McLellan was arrested by the FBI in Florida for domestic terrorism in May of 2012. The FBI said he and others were “preparing a terrorist act against national minorities in Florida.”

He then fled to Ukraine to join Right Sector (a creation of the CIA) in 2014. In 2022, he returned to Ukraine and was reportedly deported. Now he’s back in Florida where he’s active in the local Nazi scene. Yesterday he was on I-4 with a group of Nazis who were saying they support Joe Biden while they were waving swastika flags and shouting slurs at me because I am Jewish.

There is no way you get away with all of that after being arrested by the FBI for domestic terrorism, and there’s no way you get away with traveling to Ukraine to fight in a foreign war as an American Citizen defected mercenary unless you are some type of FBI or CIA informant.

This is the character she is referring to (possibly hailing a taxi to go to his next false flag operation): 

So what is Loomer really saying here?

Literally this:

Joe Biden feels that, thanks to the efforts of "wonderful" right wingers, like herself, support for the war in Ukraine is lagging, so he has got in touch with his friends in the CIA and asked them to kindly stage a display of swastika-waving Neo-Nazism and Jew hatred, including nasty insults to Ms. Loomer herself, in order to boost support among the general public for the war in the Ukraine.

That is the entire logic of Loomer's commentary and whole analysis of this "Neo-Nazi/Fed/whatever" operation.

This sort of view is not indeed atypical of many on the Right-wing in America, which seems to be undergoing an extreme collapse in its collective IQ as it heads into an election year.

There is an outside chance that Loomer knows all this to be as moronic as it sounds, and is just cynically doing this to manipulate morons, but I, at least, find her stupidity and that of her followers and fellow travellers totally convincing.

So, who is possibly behind the antics of the Goyim Defence League and Blood Tribe?

The most obvious and effortless explanation would be Russia. Not only do we have the rather glaring attempt to re-float the tired meme that the "Ukrainians are Nazis" here, but the Kremlin has a long track record of attempting to amplify any racial animosities and interfering in dissident movements in America, often in the most stupid and self-defeating ways, as we see in the history of the Alt-Right.

Although... by this point, so much stupidity has already been injected into the American metapolitical bloodstream (and not just by the Russians) that it has taken on a life of its own.

PUTIN AND THE OLIGARCHS

Tashkent-based Russian vlogger Inside Russia explains how post-Soviet Russia was taken over by the oligarchs, who then indulged in self-destructive infighting, preparing the way for the rise of Vladimir Putin and the Siloviki (KGB, police agencies, etc).
