    2) The chinese didn’t ‘do this to their people’, instead they failed to act quickly because of fear of punishment from Beijing (as usual). 3) My concern is the ongoing soft warfare duplicating that of the soviets against our research sectors, and the same against our economy.

    @party_blanket 1) We have at least four competing theories making the rounds. These two theories can be intercausal – or not. Either one can be the cause – or not. However, the chinese are researching bioweapons, and (as NPR is reporting) the smuggling of the coronavirus did happen.

    Why does the poll methodology state 800+ registered democrats but NOT the number of registered republicans?
    The margin of error in random dials of cell and landlines for this many questions, with this many leading questions is worse than the hillary-trump variation.

    QUESTION?

    —“Will people rise up before it’s too late?”—

    If you got a call today from me or someone like me, to show up in a certain town at a certain date would you go? Would you have gone five years ago? Would you go today? Will you go in 90 days?

    If the answer to that question is anything other than “I’ll show up” then you’re the f–king problem, so shut the f—k up.

    If the answer is “I’ll show up”, then we win.

    There is nothing in the world that can stop 100k.

    We are the largest army in the world.

    But only if hand-wringers show up.

    If you won’t show up then shut up.

    😉

  • CHOOSE, A SECOND FALL OF ROME, OR THE CARTHAGINIAN WAR? (important) (core) 1) So

    CHOOSE, A SECOND FALL OF ROME, OR THE CARTHAGINIAN WAR?

    (important) (core)

    1) So will you go down in history as the second fall of Rome? Or will you go down as Rome defeating Carthage and salting the earth so it can never rise again?

    2) I think of racists as solving the obvious problem by the simplest means that they can imagine – but one that easily fails. People’s sensitivity changes under duress. So you must increase duress in order to reduce their tolerance to threats. This is how a general thinks about a strategic problem. Minimum force here, to cause minimum resistance there, for maximum consequence over there,

    3) P was purely conservative libertarian. Race based people came to P when I stated that the science is clear that the optimum social order is ethnocentrism, the optimum political order rule of law, and the optimum ethic christian because it is compatible and enhances via negativa natural law into a via-positiva advantage. In P I didn’t even consider race as a motivator. I just stated that if you want a wealthy, competitive, commons producing, highly redistributive, high trust polity that continues the western tradition you need to restore the market for polities with rule of law and many small polities each producing commons needed by that body of people given the differences in our abilities, rates, and depths of maturity and genetic load.

    4) If you search my site you will find (a) a decade of my argument stating that conflict is largely one of the primacy of loyalty to kin because of the advantage of kin cooperation, with the problem being differences in class sizes between the races and tribes, with whites and east asians producing the best genetic distribution with the least genetic load (bad genes). And (b) that the primary conflict is one over natural status conflicts given the differing demands for commons – including that of normative behavior – between different groups with different rates and depths of sexual matureity and different class sizes. So my argument was that ending segregation was not only a catastrophic failure, not only destroyed the nascent black middle class leadership, but forced the abandonment of the black underclass. This is not dissimilar to the hispanic-indian-black divide in south america (that like mexico at its core is often still amerindian).

    5) I think sh-t thru. So I am aware that all political movements move from the fringe where they depend on very radical very dissatisfied, and often mentally troubled individuals, through ‘generatons’ until they reach enough people to obtain power. I have done the same with P by attacking and undermining the jewish libertarians, then providing a home for the hard right while undermining the swastika ideology and replacing it with the hard science of economics and biology, and I have been working on neutralizing the feminism of the christian right that like women operates under the pretense of needing their approval on their terms, rather than that they need a means of survival and competition in the generations to come but that christianity is scientifically ‘right’ as far as christian ethics – and that I have an answer to the institutionalization of that ethic by embodying it in law. At present john and I together took a gamble last year (and I risked the whole movement) that we could move directly to the revolutionary message, and eventually an anti-left constitutional convention, from there to the certain threat of civil war, while trump was still in office. Right now I think we have to demonstrate (YET AGAIN) that I am right, and that it is with science, reason, evidence, and the law, expressed in our rights to self determination, and to state openly and truthully the superiority of our civilization, and its rescue of man. And that we need to correctly identify the enemy as the financial and political sector. and that the returns on ‘correcting past crimes’ will produce a renaissance not only for our people but for the world and for mankind – or else another dark age. If we do this successfully, there will be no resistance from even the middle, and only resistance from the political and financial sector and hard leftists, and dependent immigrants. How we conduct that war is something I am absolutely confident in and know how to win. It is actually a matter of choosing a strategy from the number I have in my head. All of them will produce such horrific pressure not only on our government but on the rest of the world, that it will be increasingly hard for anyone other than our unwanted immigrants in blue cities and the new mexico-invasion, that to resist the solution. That solution will provide a peaceful transitional means while preserving the strength of the military and the continental defense. Conversely, with resistance we would make a certain union general’s destruction of the south, and isis’ destruction of Syria/Iraq look like a visit from father christmas. (Just one example. What would Mexico do if certain things started happening? What would the largest military base in the states be occupied with? This is how you strategically think about war. Small pressures that create large pressures from elsewhere.)

    6) “All who bleed with me will be my brother in war.” After war, we will naturally sort by our kin as all people do when advantageous, and try to ‘associate or mate upward or downward’ to capture better opportunities if the kin group is not in your interest. The objective being obtaining the ability to voluntarily associate or disassociate as our preference demands. So my understanding is that:

    (a) all of us who want to be left alone so to speak to build a middle class majority polity will get a long just fine as long as we can separate into polities or neighborhoods;

    (b) if we limit our political order to those people wanting a middle class majority polity, then the racial differences will largely ameliorate because most differences that cause conflict are the difference in class sizes between the races on the one hand, and the group strategy of other tribes, races, sub-races being destructive on the other.

    (c) therefore given the vast demographic differences between the races we would end up with a very white polity with minorities, all whom agree to rule of law, and all whom operate under rule of law. And if we can produce commons suitable to our kin we will be fine. I suspect that over time we will re-sort into small nation states if only to limit competition.

    (d) the only problem then is really eliminating falsehood and irreciprocity and letting market forces do their thing., Why? We (and some east asians) appear to be the only people who can do it.

    We could have fixed this politically in 92 at the latest. Now we have to fix it militarily, and this is our last chance to do it before the second fall of the roman empire.

    So will you go down in history as the second fall of Rome? Or will you go down as Rome defeating Carthage and salting the earth so it can never rise again?

  • PROBLEMS THE POLICE FACE (1) police are expensive and patrol large territories i

    PROBLEMS THE POLICE FACE

    (1) police are expensive and patrol large territories in expensive vehicles with expensive equipment.

    (2) because police are expensive they do not travel in groups, and do not practice european policing of de-escalation- europe is small and densely populated.

    (3) Therefore officers rely on manipulation, deception, intimidation, and force, to subdue an individual and ‘drag him into the system’. Whereas you or I only need to break contact, they have to bring people into the system. The reason is that they don’t have discretionary power (as do sheriffs and judges.) This is because they can get sued if they are forgiving but you do something stupid. So their only defense is to get you into the system.

    (4) Revenue for a police department and justice system is funded by taxes, tickets and fines, and worst of all, property seizures. This has produced the malincentives we predicted.

    (5) Police are in a position of high risk, high responsibility, and under multiple conflicting incentives for which they can lose job and pension for any normal human error. This is a no-win situation for them. So they tend to develop procedures that are the safest for them and their careers, by choosing processes that put the officer in the position of making THE FEWEST DECISIONS. This is the problem.

    (6) The police do not control the bad laws that they operate under. Their job is to bring people into the system and let the system and system processes do the work – thereby (mostly) using time and isolation for heated afraid or excited people to calm down.

    (7) The data is what it is and the cops know the data: Black americans are disproportionately impulsively violent and will run, drug users are disproportionately unpredictable and dangerous even with bodily fluids or needles, and hispanic americans are disproportionately involved in gangs and dangerous, and white americans are disproportionately cunning and dangerous.

    (8) Police will not stay in the job if they have IQ’s over 105, so they hire average people for the job, because frankly it’s a lot of paperwork, and a lot of putting up with unpleasant people, and a lot of very high stress followed by very boring procedure. So for an average guy it’s a high income high status job – with decision making above his pay grade.

    (9) Some police forces are run well and others not, and there is no requirement that police come from the area nor stay in an area and learn the ‘crook book’ for the area. Instead, better police forces hire and train better officers, who then take positions that pay more money in less ‘prime’ territories.

    So there are just a lot of things going on. Where instead, we should probably have three classes of officers, at three pay grades, the top being criminal lawyers (proto-judges), the middle being today’s armed officers, and the bottom being de-escalation officers, and we should try to use numbers rather than concentration of force to deescalate and bring people in.

    NO SKIN IN THE GAME – NO COMPLAINT

    by Mathew Smith

    Hand wringing conservatives are Crypto-liberals, all of them. They all want someone to do the heavy lifting for them, and they won’t be satisfied until they’re instantly gratified.

    I would have been there in a heartbeat if I had the means, so I did the next best thing, sharing John’s videos in groups that may not have heard of him before. I plant seeds where opportunities arise (“Oh, you hate Politician X? Wouldn’t it be nice if they could be sued for lying?” <~~this is a great hook btw) and I’ve dedicated a couple livestreams going over the basics of P.

    I do what I can, although I’m not the most eloquent speaker. Bringing complaints without offering a solution is just a waste of everyone’s time.Keep up the good work, sir.
