THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "THE CULTURE WARS"

Muh culture wars

by Colin Liddell

Due to the constraints on human intelligence and mental energy, most of the discourse in modern society takes place with ideas, notions, and cliches blindly bundled up like subprime debt. One of the biggest of these bundles in recent years has been the so-called term "Culture Wars," which is supposed to provide a useful framework for dealing with a lot of social complexity.

Sometimes this sort of thing is given a respectable academic patina. For example, the Policy Institute at King's College London has come up with the following breakdown of the "Culture Wars," with what they see as four distinct groups within the supposed conflict: 

Moderates (32%) – Support greater rights for women and ethnic minorities – but less strongly than Progressives. Agree political correctness gone too far, yet not nostalgic for past nor proud of empire. This groups demographic make-up includes 33% aged 35-54 and 38% aged 55 or over. 53% of this group are female. This group is politically diverse compared to the others with 38% Conservative, 33% Labour, and 26% supporting other parties with 63% of this group supporting remain. This group is 12% ethnic minority, which is broadly in line with the 11% in the sample as a whole.

Traditionalists (26%) – Oldest and most heavily male group. Most nostalgic for country’s past and proud of British empire. 97% think political correctness gone too far, and most likely to feel UK has done enough on equal rights for historically marginalised groups. The demographics that define this group are 61% male with 56% aged 55 or older. 59% of this group support the Conservatives with 78% of the group identifying as Leavers. This group is 5% ethnic minority which is lower than the 11% in the sample as a whole.

Progressives (23%) – Youngest group, with highest education level. Most likely to think women’s rights, ethnic minority rights and trans rights not gone far enough. Most likely to be ashamed of British empire, and most in favour of political correctness. The demographics that define this group are 45% aged 34 or younger with 55% of the group female. Almost 50% have university degrees, the highest share of all the groups. 46% of the group support Labour and 41% supporting a third party. 94% of the group identify as Remain. This group is 12% ethnic minority similar to the 11% in the sample as a whole.

The Disengaged (18%) – Stand out for neutrality on politics and Brexit. Least likely to take a position on equal rights for women and ethnic minorities, and least likely to take stance on culture war issues. The demographics of this group are 40% aged 35 to 54 with the highest proportion of women with 58%. Lowest rate of home ownership (63%), and highest rate of social housing (17%). This group stands out due to their neutrality on politics and Brexit with 44% ‘don’t support any party’, and 37% don’t think of themselves as Leavers or Remainers. Those who do support a party are more like to support the Conservatives (28%) than Labour (16%). This group is 12% ethnic minority making it close to the 11% in the sample as a whole.

Well, thats's that nailed, then. Or is it?

If you wanted, you could probably disregard "The Disengaged" and split "The Moderates" between "The Progressives" and "The Traditionalists," reducing it all down to "wokeistas" on one side and "gammons" or MAGAtards on the other.

What this survey/ framework is more likely picking up on are the ongoing efforts to polarise Western societies, more than anything else. Most people I know have positions all over this supposed tribal division of opinion, as do I, and for a wide variety of reasons -- sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes objective, sometimes subjective. In my case, I try to work extra hard to have good and objective reasons. 

But once you "identify" as one of the "culture war" tribes on offer, then it's game over. You will start feeling the moronic tug of your chosen group and the algorithmic promptings to share all the tribe's "beliefs." After that the warm, sweaty embrace awaits you, with its pungent odour of mutually supported cant.

You might just be a "Conservative" or a "Traditionalist" because you love your gun or your gas-guzzling car, but, before you know it, you find yourself getting looped into hating drag queens and being overly concerned about slags getting rid of their unwanted sprogs. 

The next thing you might notice is that once you criticise one of the shibboleths or prominent members of your assumed tribe, you are denounced not because your criticism is or isn't valid, but because you are now a "traitor" or an "infiltrator" from another tribe.

In this way, you may come to recognize that culture is not so much a way of building an identity or a place where you can feel at home, but is instead a way to control you and stop you criticising what you perceive to be bad ideas, and which may in fact be bad ideas.

One of the main functions of culture throughout the ages 

has been to stop intelligent people criticising stupid ideas

Culture, in this way, is actually the antithesis of "war" or legitimate struggle. It is the closing off of debate. "You have your god and I have mine," as it says somewhere in the Koran. 

"Culture War" is thus revealed as a logically inconsistent, antithetical term. Culture Wars, with their Red and Blue tribes, while promoting a lot of externalised animosity and internalised over-centralisation, actually exist to prevent the genuine clash of ideas and to shut out the fresh air and daylight of critical evaluation. Visit the internet on any given day of the week to see what I mean.

In short, there is no such thing as a "Culture War." Culture, when all's said and done, is simply code for "Don't question my holy stupid idea." It is the exact opposite of the Battle of Ideas, something that seeks the battlefield and and the clash in which only merit will decide the winner.

THE SURPRISINGLY CONVENIENT POST-ELECTION BLACK SWAN EVENT IN RUSSIA

Tashkent-based Russian vlogger Inside Russia casts a sceptical eye at the "terrorist attack" in Russia and the Kremlin's developing "response" to it. Why was security so lax, why were Western warnings ignored, why did it take over an hour for security forces to respond? Is this all part of Putin's attempt to put Russia on a "total war" footing?

"GRIFTER KING" TRUMP TO RAISE BILLIONS FROM "FAKE" SOCIAL MEDIA SITE FLOATATION

Ex-President Donald J Trump is grifting like a pro again, after it was revealed that he had suckered an unknown number of his dumb followers and cronies to put up billions to float his fake social media site, Truth Social (sic), on the stock market. The move could net Trump, who retains 58% of stock, billions of dollars. but there are still a few strings attached. 

As reported by The Financial Times:

"Donald Trump’s social media business will become publicly listed after shareholders of a blank-cheque company approved the deal, unlocking a potential $3bn windfall for the former US president as he seeks to cover massive legal liabilities.

Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind his Truth Social site, will list on the Nasdaq exchange with the ticker symbol DJT, Trump’s initials, next week....

Trump is subject to a lock-up agreement that prevents him from selling his shares for six months, but may be able to use his large stake in the business as collateral to borrow money.

He could also seek approval from the merged company’s board, which is set to include his son Donald Trump Jr as well as several officials who served in his administration, to start selling his stake immediately to raise cash."

The deal, which values Truth Social at $5.4 billion, is essentially a massive grift that uses money from small investors and Trump well-wishers to inflate the value of what is a relatively minor  and loss-making social media platform.

Recent research from Similarweb estimates that Truth Social had roughly 5 million active users in February this year, including mobile users and website visitors. This compares to more than 2 billion users for TikTok and more than 3.5 billion on Meta's Facebook and Instagram platform.

Meta, with 700 times more active users than Truth Social and which is a firmly established social media company not anchored to a transitory political figure, is valued at $1.3 trillion, which is only 240 times the supposed value of Truth Social in this deal.

Those who will ultimately pay for this ridiculous overvaluation will be Trump's gullible fans or, worse, dark money channelled into US politics in order to have a disruptive effect on America's weak political ecosystem.

 

FIFTY RUSSIANS GETTING SLOTTED AT CONCERT INITIATES GIANT WAVE OF NON-FUCKNESS

So few fucks given I can't even be bothered to update 

the casualty numbers to 137 or whatever it is. 

A giant wave of non-fuckness has been given after around 50 Russians got slotted at some concert or other.

In any other country 50 people getting wasted by terrorists or false flag operatives would be a big deal, but because this is Russia, it is about as significant as some babushka knitting a new scarf to wipe her arse on. 

This is because Russia's leaders over the centuries have worked 24-7 to devalue human life and make it an almost meaningless concept. From Peter the Great using the bones of millions of serfs to build his capital city on a swamp, to Stalin stopping tens of millions of German bullets with cheap and inexpensive Ivans, right up to today with Putin using endless "meat waves" to capture strategic brick shithouses on the plains of the Ukraine, human life in Russia has always been a joke. 

Also sparking a vast mushroom cloud of disinterest over the supposed 50 or is it 60 concert-going deaths is the whacky post-truth world that Russia's leaders have skilfully created over the years, with fun projects like the Potemkin village, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, fake elections, bot farms, kompramat on Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson, and other goofy shit.

This means that any story that the Russian government pushes is about as solid as the marzipan dildo that Putin's double uses to fuck his imaginary girlfriend. 

THE UPSIDE OF THE WAR IN THE UKRAINE

by Colin Liddell

The war in the Ukraine has been a disaster for both countries involved. My prognosis is that Russia will enter into a "slow collapse" (as intended by the US Deep State to minimize nuclear fall-out) followed by a change of leadership and a peace deal along the 1991 borders.

The main goal of Russian involvement in Ukraine, namely keeping the naval base of Sebastopol, looks increasingly redundant due to the obvious obsolescence of the Russian navy, much of which has been sunk by a nation without a navy.

The breaking up of Russia to some degree is also possible, but will probably be limited - maybe just Chechnya.  The Ukraine will then head towards becoming a relatively typical EU+NATO "globohomo" state, while Russia will continue to baffle the experts and avoid obvious categories. 

This, or we could have a nuclear war.

So, is there any upside to this whole, dirty mess? Yes, there is always an upside. In this case it is in what the world has learned about the limitations of democracy. To some of us, the limitations of democracy is hardly a new concept, but it is nice to have clearer-than-ever examples of this. The wider war between the West and Russia over Ukraine has provided this. 

The Ukrainian War has two levels: a hot war, mainly limited to a sliver of Ukrainian territory, and a borderless global "meta-war," fought in the various realms of politics, economics, (dis)information, mass psychology, etc. 

While Russia is struggling in the hot war and will probably struggle even more in the months ahead, in the meta-war it has fought a particularly effective and impressive campaign, particularly in the political sphere. By my reckoning, it has largely destroyed two of the main political parties in the Anglo World, namely the old Republican Party and the UK's Conservative Party. It has also achieved considerable penetration of French, German, and other NATO political ecosystems. These efforts predate the war in the Ukraine by several years.

This Russian "meta-assault" has naturally generated some pushback. In some respects, NATO has grown stronger with the accession of Sweden and Finland. These are real military powers unlike those weaker countries that have been sheltering in NATO for decades, like Luxemburg and Germany.

Also, while the Kremlin has destroyed the Republican and Conservative Parties, its earlier targets, the Democrats and Labour parties, have largely been recaptured and strengthened by their respective Deep States. Also, Trump, the main battering ram being used by the Kremlin to cause chaos, has been weakened by stinging lawfare attacks (and advancing age).

But overall, the picture that has emerged is of the utter porousness and fragility of Western societies to Kremlin ops.

The reason the US hasn't been able to supply Ukraine with decisive weapons for the last six months is because the Kremlin has manipulated the GOP to prevent this. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Conservative Party is set to be wiped out in a few months, assisted by ex-Russia-Today regular Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party. This will set the scene for a Labour landslide that will then open the way for similar tactics there to cause division and isolationism. 

"Open society" democracies that rely on the mass of low IQ, low info, and high impulse voters to make reasonably intelligent and restrained choices, guided by established politicians who have a wider understanding of the various factors involved, has been revealed as a house of cards. Even a small amount of subversion can unleash an enormous amount of "dark energy." Democracy, as it now exists, will have to be radically rethought in the years ahead, or even scrapped.

Run for your lives, its an algorithmic bubble!

While Putin has proved a failure overall, and will probably be hanging from a lamppost shortly, there is much to learn from how he has controlled Russia, its people, and its information space in the last 20 years or so. The big question, I guess, is this:

Is it possible for the West to create a more robust system without veering towards the outright croneyism and corruption that has defined and undermined the Kremlin?

Either way, it is a good thing that the inherent failings of Western democracy have been exposed by this meta-war. Let us see if they are now addressed.

"EX" NEO-NAZI MARTIN SELLNER SHUT DOWN IN SWITZERLAND

Brutally forced to walk down a flight of stairs in tight trousers. OUCH!

Martin Sellner, the Austrian husband of e-THOT Brittany Pettibone, was arrested recently in Switzerland.

Sellner who is a critic of mass immigration despite living a low-fertility lifestyle tweeted:

"Today the police in the Kanton of Aargau, Switzerland stormed a speech, turned off the electricity, handcuffed me and performed a push back. I am not allowed to enter Aargau for 2 months. The reason? I presented my book about remigration. The police claimed that this presentation was a danger to Swiss security and public order. According to the police, it was the first push back like this in 10 years, while 50.000 Illegals entered the country in 2023! This is a disgrace to Swiss democracy. But it still is a win for our movement. They can handcuff me, but not our ideas. Remigration is inevitable!"

Other factors in the decision to arrest Sellner may have been his Neo-Nazi past stickering synagogues with swastikas, his contacts with New Zealand mosque shooter Brenton Tarrant, and the fact that his wife's past career was entirely based on her utility in promoting Russian memes, narratives, and polarisation ops. 

Personally, I would arrest any person who wears his trousers as tight as Sellner clearly does. He is killing sperms.

Genociding his own sperms like a total Himmler!

NETANYAHU'S "HUNGER PLAN" ON HOLD AS FOOD BARGE ARRIVES IN GAZA

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's apparent "plan" to "ethnically cleanse" Gaza by starving millions of Gazans was in tatters yesterday, as a food barge with 200 tons arrived. This is the first delivery of its kind and part of a plan to greatly boost the amount of food reaching the starving citizens of Gaza.

As reported by the Washington Post:

"The boat was dispatched by the U.S. nonprofit World Central Kitchen, founded by chef José Andrés, and the Spanish search-and-rescue group Open Arms. It traveled from Cyprus to test a new maritime corridor for ramping up aid to the beleaguered Gaza Strip, but many of the logistical details were still shrouded in uncertainty Friday, including how the meals would be safely distributed in a region on the brink of famine."

The barge bearing the food was able to offload pallets of food to a jetty, recently constructed from rubble created by heavy Israeli bombing, provoked and partly justified by a terrorist attack against Israelis some months ago.

Establishing a direct maritime connection means that it will be much harder for Netanyahu's army to keep extreme hunger pressure on the Gazan population.

In recent weeks, a growing number of critics have "controversially" linked the actions of the Netanyahu government to Hitler's infamous "Hunger Plan" that aimed to depopulate large parts of Eastern Europe through starvation.

At first, this onerous comparison was made mainly by Muslims and "hard left" Jewish critics of Netanyahu, but with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting at least 27 children dead from malnutrition and the United Nations warning of  “catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation” in Gaza, more people were starting to see at least a vague similarity to Hitler's genocidal policies, something not only negative in its own right but also delegitimizing of the moral basis for the foundation of Israel.

The new food port therefore could help rescue not only malnourished Gazans, but also the State of Israel's increasingly tarnished reputation and perceived right to exist.

FREELOADERS AND BULLSHITTERS

Klub Kompromat is now in session

by Daniel Barge

Recently President Viktor Orban visited the USA to kiss the anti-globalist ring down at Mar-a-Lago. It was mutual session it seems, and Trump also kissed his ring.

Over the years Orban, probably under instructions from Moscow, which is rumoured to have plenty of kompromat on the dude, has played a highly disruptive anti-globalist role. This was partly understandable before the outright invasion of Ukraine by Putin's Orcs emphasised the actual utility of a strong global rules-based system.

Even with the deaths of tens of thousands in a country bordering his and the possibility of nuclear war, Orban's views and messaging on globalism have not changed one iota. They have, if anything, become even more of a anti-globalist caricature. The suspicion that the Kremlin has extremely compromising material on this guy is the only rational explanation for this.

But, assuming Orban is not being blackmailed by his Kremlin handlers, how stupid is his position? 

While many countries would do fine in a de-globalised world, even one where global trade fell off a cliff, it is also clear that many would not. Despite its flaws, the global system and its component parts (G7, NATO, the EU, African Union, ASEAN, etc.) provide a framework of security, relatively unhindered trade, and general fairness that tends to benefit those weaker nations that would not be able to cut it in a more dog-eat-dog World. 

Some might say that the global system is a bad thing for this reason, and that "Geopolitical Darwinism" should be allowed to take its course. There is some merit in that idea, but also there are some rather bad examples of what happens when you move this sort of thing off the page of theory into the World of reality, as we are seeing in the Ukraine:

Women protesting the rapes going on in occupied Ukraine

In a truly de-globalised world, most big, rich, strong countries with access to the sea and nuclear weapons would be OK -- or at least survive. But the countries that would suffer the most and go under would be the small, weak ones. Especially those with indefensible borders, zero access to the sea, and proximity to large, aggressive nations. 

Ring any bells?

Yes, Hungary, it seems, ticks all the negative boxes.

Hungary: an indefensible blob that can be starved in weeks

Indeed, this is why it exists at all, as it was the only part of Europe where a central Asian horde could easily ride in and graze their horses long enough to get established -- the original Hungarians!

But the only reason modern Hungary can now survive is because of the kindness and generosity of its stronger neighbours, and because there is an international system that protects its soft, feeble, toad-like body.

Yes, Hungary, the "great crusader against globalism," is exactly the same country that couldn't exist more than a couple of years or possibly even weeks without a globalist system.

Orban's worthless version of Hungary is the ultimate freeloader and bullshitter in the World. It is not a serious country at all. By the very logic its leader promotes, it should not exist at all, except as a mere province of some greater entity, which is exactly how the international globalist system found it, when it helped liberate it from collapsing Communism.

Anti-globalism for a country like Hungary is totally fake.

PALACE RELEASE A.I. GENERATED PICTURE TO LET WORLD KNOW KATE IS O.K.

The Palace, the sinister organisation that runs the Royal Family, has released an A.I.-generated image of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton and her children in order to let the world know that she is alright.

In a statement accompanying the release of the image, a spokesman for the Palace commented: 

"There is absolutely nothing to worry about, so you can all go about your normal business ploughing fields and collecting firewood until the next major royal event is announced."

"BORINGHEIMER" SWEEPS OSCARS

A film about a giant project to make a "total bomb," lasting over three hours and boring everyone to death at cinemas around the world, has swept the Oscars.

The film, about the most boring film possible, took years to complete and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, much of which went into Botox injections for its swollen-faced protagonist Cillian Murphy who plays the lead role of "I.M.B. Cumdeth."

The movie, which was mainly shot in greyscale "Yawn-o-Vision," is expected to make most of its profits from popcorn sales as its desperate audiences, lured into cinemas by pretentious movie reviews, strive to stay alive in the bleak dark eons created by the movie before they are allowed a toilet break. 

TRUMP CUCKS HARD ON CHINA AFTER MEETING WITH BILLIONAIRE

China Don and friends, he love China long time

If you wanted more evidence of how "morally ambidextrous" Donald Trump is, how about the fact that he is now suddenly all in favour of Chinese-owned media "controlling" young American minds.  

Last week, the House of Representatives finally brought forward a bill to force a TikTok sale, on the grounds that it’s a "foreign adversary controlled application." This was apparently something that Dems and Republicans could all agree on. It passed the committee stage by a massive 50-0. GOP Senator Katie Britt even talked about the need to stop TikTok "destroying" young American minds in her reply to Biden's SOTU speech. 

Then, all of sudden, on Thursday night, Trump "truthed" this on his beta Twitter clone Truth Social: 

"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!" 

His slavish followers instantly fell in line, flushing their reputations once more down the toilet to defend Chinese control of US social media. 

Why the sudden cuckish U-Turn for Trump who has always presented himself as a hawk on China? Speculation has been rife, but seems to come down to Trump meeting Jewish billionaire Jeff Yass. 

Here's Business Insider:

"What caused Trump to change his mind? Some reasonable people are putting two and two together, and noting that Trump recently met with the billionaire investor Jeff Yass, who is both an investor in TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and a big Republican backer, in part via the Club for Growth lobbying group.

Yass and the Club for Growth have fought with Trump in the past, but that's all over now, Trump said last week. He announced that Yass was "fantastic" and Trump and the Club for Growth were 'back in love — we're deeply in love.'"

Right now, with the black hole in his finances but with his popularity still holding up, Trump looks like a very good investment opportunity to seedy business and foreign interests.

GOP DOES HILARIOUS PARODY OF UNFUNNY SNL SKIT

The Republican Party has responded to a generally unfunny Saturday Night Live skit by making an hilarious parody that is at least ten times funnier.

The original SNL skit featured moderately talented actress Scarlett Johannsson pretending to be a conservative woman in a kitchen and had one or two laughs. But the GOP piss-take featuring Alabama Senator Katie Britt, speaking in a hysterical shakey voice and pretending to be a State of the Union Reply speech, exposed just how dull and unfunny SNL now is. 

Watch the unfunny original here:

And the much funnier (and weirder) GOP parody here:

SHORTPOD (91): MADMAN PUTIN'S ATTACKS ON WESTERN DEMOCRACY

Also available of Rumble, BitChute, and Odysee

A Republican Party that increasingly wants to retreat into its shell, a Conservative Party that is in danger of being wiped off the electoral map... Politics doesn't work the way it used to work. Colin Liddell looks at the highly effective ongoing efforts stemming from the Kremlin to undermine Western Democracy.

HOW WILL THE GREAT DEMOGRAPHIC COLLAPSE PLAY OUT?

by Colin Liddell

The map above is dated 2018, and the data is probably a bit older, but I believe this is a generally accurate picture of the ongoing demographic situation in Europe and Anatolia (which, ahem, isn't in Europe).

It shows quite clearly that most of the continent is in negative fertility, with a few pockets of positive growth.

Apparently the areas around Paris and Marseille, the Catholic rural areas of Northern Ireland, and parts of Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, as well as some towns in England, are doing quite well when it comes to having children.

No doubt part of this is due to the higher fertility of still unassimilated non-European immigrant population. But, setting that aside, the main pattern that we see is the well established one of plunging Southern European fertility rates  (around 1.1 to 1.5), while most northern European countries are generally holding up quite well, in the 1.6 to 2 range.

The great irony here is that the more Catholic, Orthodox, and traditional European countries seem to have the lowest fertility, while the more secular parts of Europe are doing less badly, if not better.

Why would this be?

I think a possible explanation for this is because the countries with the lowest fertility rates here are also the ones where women were treated the worst and where their position subsequently improved the most in terms of "feminist values," i.e. having more rights, freedom, and economic opportunities.

Women in the north always had a bit more of these to begin with.

So, it is this "radical" shift from traditionalism to modernity that seems to have the most depressive effect on fertility. Women who have lived in societies with fewer options and who have traditionally been forced into marriages they didn't really want but who then see their societies overtaken by economic growth, etc, are the ones that swing most drastically towards low fertility.

Typical Southern European family when women were treated like shit

If this is true for women within the context of Europe, will it not also be true within a wider context?

Will women from the high fertility countries of the "Deep South," that is the Middle East and Africa, also go into a demographic plunge as successive waves of modernity and economic growth sweep over their societies?

Fertility rates in the Middle East and even in some African countries suggest this might possibly be happening. If it does, where is Europe's future "Great Replacement" population going to come from?

Also, looking even further down the same road, where is Africa's?

THE DECLINING PROFILE OF RUSSIA'S SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND

 

Russia was able to embark on its "3-day Special Military Operation" in the Ukraine because it had a massive National Wealth Fund (NWF) to cushion the blow of Western sanctions. This was made up of hard currencies, like the Euro (dark blue), the Pound (light blue), and the US dollar (green).

Before the war started in February 2022, it switched dollars for gold (yellow) and Chinese Yuan (red). It was then able to grow the NWF, due to soaring fuel prices, boosting its holding of Euros. But, from around January 2023, the fund rapidly shrank. The Kremlin was forced to liquidate it Pounds and Euros in order to keep the Russian economy afloat. 

Now the NWF is worth around $55 billion, compared to $144 billion in the Summer of 2022. Also it is made up gold and Chinese currency, both of which have limited liquidity compared to the Western hard currencies it started out with. 

Expect real economic pain to hit Russia after the fake Presidential election this month, followed by a switch to a more communist style command economy. 

PARTIOTIC RIGHT LEADER MELIA STUCK WITH TWO YEARS FOR STICKER OUTRAGE

Melia (Ó Máille) keen to pull up the immigration ladder after himself

Sam Melia, one of the leaders of the fake political party "Patriotic Alternative" has been sentenced to 2 years in jail by a judge after a jury convicted him of "stirring up racial hatred."

As reported by the dark money-funded GB News: 

"Free speech concerns have been raised after a Leeds man was sentenced two years in prison after being found guilty of inciting racial hatred with a library of stickers."

The sentence comes after a jury decision last month, as reported by local media:

"The 34-year-old was on trial following a raid at his Pudsey home on Town Street in April 2021 in which police uncovered a catalogue of downloadable stickers which were “intended to stir up racial hatred” and encouraged racially-aggravated criminal damage. They also found a poster of Adolf Hitler on his wall and a book by the infamous British fascist, Oswald Mosley."[...]

Melia was the head of the Hundred Handers, an anonymous group of activists responsible for a spate of anti-immigration “stickering” incidents between 2019 and 2021, the court has heard during the eight-day trial. Followers would gain access to the stickers they could download, print out and then stick up around the UK and abroad.

The Crown said media reports of “stickering” linked to the Hundred Handers in the UK “extended from Cornwall to Northern Ireland” and “may make it clear the incidents have in fact caused fear or alarm”.

The stickers included slogans such as: 'Labour loves Muslim rape gangs'; 'We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066'; 'Mass immigration is white genocide'; and: 'Second-generation? Third? Fourth? You have to go back'."

Melia is married to fellow PA leader and tea saleswoman Laura Towler (real name: Laura Tyrie), but is not married to other fellow leader Mark Collett. 

Under the government's strong enforcement of "racial harmony" legislation, it is now increasingly difficult and dangerous for anyone to oppose mass immigration and multiculturalism in the UK, except on the basis of "technical grounds," such as budgetary restraints, overcrowding, environmental damage, or increasing anti-Semitism.

This is a problem for PA, which is both anti-environmental and anti-Semitic. Also, they have zero understanding of economics.

Furthermore, the UK has been pro-immigration for some time, as Melia himself is actually believed to be of Irish origin, with his name being a derivative of "Ó Máille," denoting a native of County Mayo in Western Ireland.

Other PA leaders are also less than English, with Towler's true name, Tyrie, also having a Gaelic origin, while Marko Colletti is widely believed to be of Jewish-Italian origin. 

The judgment follows stiff sentences handed out to PA activist Kris Kearns (four years, eight months), and podcaster James Allchurch (two-and-a-half years) for "promoting hate."

WHO'S WHO IN THE DISSIDENT RIGHT: PETER BRIMELOW

Brimelow has signally failed to assimilate his Northern British accent to American norms

Born 1947. A seemingly "respectable" paleoconservative and anti-immigration campaigner based in the USA, who is, erm... an immigrant himself (from Northern England). 

Like the equally "respectable-seeming" Jared Taylor (also an immigrant - from Japan) Brimelow nevertheless has quite solid connections with more hard-line WN/Neo-Nazi types, such as "Turner Diaries" enthusiast Kevin DeAnna and Jason "sex tourist" Kessler, who has recently returned to the WN fray after "rage quitting" less than a year ago. 

Based on this, it doesn't strain the available data too much to view Brimelow as something more sinister, say, a highly skilled grifter with nefarious links to Russia. In fact, it's rather easier to view him that way.

Around 2010, he became part of the Alt-Right, but distanced himself from Richard Spencer after the 2016 NPI "Heilgate" Conference, at which he was present.

After working in financial journalism in the 1980s and being a senior editor at Forbes, he became more political, serving as a columnist for National Review. Following a possibly Deep-State-initiated purge there, he set up his own site VDare in 1999 to push his strong, one-dimensional anti-immigration message.

Tax returns suggest he is being extremely well compensated for pushing this simple message, In 2019 VDare received $4,345,643 in donations. Out of this Brimelow paid himself "compensation" of $345,364, which was one third of total functional expenses ($991,515), leaving a net income of $3,354,128 (i.e. a big wad of cash that Brimelow can decide to use any way he likes). Not surprisingly in 2020 he purchased, through the VDare Foundation, an actual castle.

An Englishman's home is his...

He claimed at the time that this was in order to provide a location for Dissident Right conferences, but the palatial residence is also used as a family home for Brimelow, his wife, who is around 40 years younger than him, and his even younger daughters. 

He was also one of the chief beneficiaries of the highly suspicious bit-coin donation from "suicided" Frenchman Laurent Bachelier, which sparked off FBI interest as a possible Kremlin op, leading to an investigation of fellow recipient Nick Fuentes.

Big, fat Russian pie?

More recently, the VDare Foundation has been under lawfare attacks of the kind normally reserved for entities that are suspected of being foreign Deep State ops. In 2022 New York Attorney General Letitia James subpoenaed Facebook’s records related to VDare and is currently attempting to look into VDare's "dark money" backing within the restraints imposed by US law. 

Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that this investigation recently prompted prime Kremlin shill (and possible Putin asset) Tucker Carlson to attempt what for him was a rather costly defence of VDare on his show. This looked more like Russia burning up its assets to stop their other asset getting burnt up too fast, rather than an organic piece of journalism. Is Letitia getting too near the target? We shall see. Watch this space, as they say.

UNIMPORTANT POLISH MEMBER OF FAILED METAPOLITICAL GRIFT FINALLY DOXXED

Meet "Jazzhands McFeels", known to his mother as "Robert Gasiewicz"

An unimportant member of a failed metapolitical grift that had ties to Russia, has finally been doxxed in an attempt to fuck up his boat hire business.

This rather pointless dox concerns the Polish man behind the podcast "Fash the Nation," a dull, tedious podcast that attempted to mix Neo-Nazi memes with normie Right-wing politics. Yawn!

The podcast, which disappeared up it own arse a year or two ago, was part of the TRS/National Justice Party cluster, which recently imploded. Most of the important TRS/ NJP members were doxxed years ago.

Also, as revealed previously, TRS and the NJP were tied to obvious Russian agents, and were clearly part of Kremlin attempts to destabilise US politics. But the whole TRS thing appears to have been mainly a grift for its fat, lazy, and unemployable members. 

It is not yet known why the Polish man, involved in the dox, felt the need to change his name to "Jazz Hands McFeels," as his real name, Robert Warren Gasiewicz, is a relatively easy-to-pronounce Polish name. Also, he did not have a boating business to worry about at the time. It may simply have been because of his anti-Semitism and the fact that he was therefore embarrassed to be working under a Jew, or possibly because his real name evokes an evil crone farting from eating too much Polish food.

Polish food is the best (but deadly to normal people)!

Since dropping out of the failed metapolitical grift, Gasiewicz (pronounced "gassy witch") has focused on a boat chartering business.

According to the dox:

"In April 2023, about two months before the final FTN episode was recorded, Gasiewicz started a charter boat company in Stuart, Florida, “Warren Penn Charters, LLC,” doing business as "Aqua Magic Charters."

This is surprising, as Poles are not noted for their seafaring abilities, having had almost no coastline until Hitler gave them one by dying in 1945.

Poland 1939 (not even trying to have a proper sea coast)

The dox also includes an elaborate account of how Jazzhand's true identity was finally tracked down by industrious, hard-working antifa. But this may just be a cover story for Richard Spencer simply turning him in to his Fed handlers to stay out of jail for a few more months.
