    I grew up wanting to be a CIA agent because of james bond. In reality there are only a handful of agents, and an army of analysts, and it’s more bureaucratic than the military. The people are wonderful (nerds). But the execs are political appointments. And incentives rule all.

    It’s why north resigned. He couldn’t get transparency. He saw this coming. It’s the first possible strategy I’ve seen that could hurt the organization.

  • All good points. But did they have a plan for the site? No. An island. Traffic.

    All good points. But did they have a plan for the site? No. An island. Traffic. Pumps. Answer is no. And a visit to France’s churches and their condition, and their having to raise money in the States to pay for the renovation are more explanatory than you kind words.

  • Quotes for Q4 2018

    October 2018 – December 2018 (Still Collecting)

    “The Press is the Enemy of the People.”  Actually it’s the entire Finance, Advertising, Media, Academy, State complex. But, yes, taking out the press first will do nicely.

    There is only one book in world literature that is an equal to the western canon, and that is the art of war, although the european works of Machiavelli, are more advanced, the universal applicability of the first of all does it best.

    —A god of lies. who gave us the dark ages. muslim conquest. and the destruction of every civilization of the ancient world. You don’t understand. Jehovah is a demon and his worshippers are his fools.—

    —“Without secession, the Left and Right have no choice but Escalation. So they are both escalating. The difference is, that the right has all the weapons necessary for the last step in escalation.”– A friend

    —“The Right has simply adopted the Left’s Ethics: The only Morality that Matters is Winning’.”— James Santagata

    —You may not know this but we came very close to a coup over Benghazi and that’s why Obama made his “Purge” of the military. Those men are still out there. There are plenty of men who would rather preserve their corps than preserve the state.—

    —“Winning is moral. If they argue with you about it you just need to do some more winning to convince them.”—Noah J Revoy

    WHO IS AFRAID OF WHOM? BE SERIOUS…. This constant accusation of ‘fear’ isn’t ‘fear’, it’s DISGUST. The left (Herd) ‘fears’ the right(Pack) is ‘disgusted’. (I mean, this level of fake news outrage is just ridiculous)

    —“Once men find some iron to put in their hearts, they’ll have no trouble finding iron to put in their hands.”— via Kevin Cox

    There Is only One Form of Restitution for Genocide: Reciprocity. (Hence why no People should engage in it.)

    [W]e had a God. His name was Sky Father. And he had no need of prophets.

    [W]hen to Revolution Men Bend Their Will How Soon They Find Worthy, Those Heady Instruments of ill.

    —“[T]he Golden Rule is a terrible thing in the hands of a nihilist or a masochist.”—Noah J Revoy

    —“[I]f the law mandated the Golden Rule, it would produce Dysgenic Communism. If the law mandated the Silver Rule, it would produce Eugenic Propertarianism.”—John Mark

    —“The eradication of a stereotype only requires that it not be reinforced by frequent observation.”—Steve Pender

    There are a lot of crayon munchers. The Postmodernists worked hard at it.

    —“Bad faith arguments aren’t worth tolerating. Waste of everyone’s time, and worse… Sometimes they catch on.”—Ely Harman

    —My argument is that people can be bought. Once bought, those that enslaved them can be systematically punished by market forces using the courts until they disappear.— CD

    —“Parasitism will persist as long as we don’t have territorial self determination to escape it.”— Andy Ujku

    —“Much of the difference between Germans and British is that the former saw the latter as ‘us, over there’ whilst the later saw the former as ‘them, over here.’”—Aaron Kahland

    Reciprocity is The Strong Version of The Silver Rule

    I’ve seen this somewhere before: The entire aristocratic project “…never included more than 25000 people…., or 250,000 in total.”

    … like I said. Only europeans could invent what we did – but everyone can use it … at the cost of face. A cost we have always paid.

    —“Make Aristocracy Great Again: Propertarianism: “— Adam Walker

    Well, the difference is, you extrapolate a line (trend), and I try to find it’s equilibration (limits). Via negativa in everything.

    —“Libertarianism = Marxism of the commons = Public property Marxism”—Brandon Hayes

    —“Existence exists and reality is real. It’s not necessary to mention that until someone asserts otherwise.”— Wyatt Storch

    Law is just more precise than religion in the same way that science is more precise than reason – and therefore less open to deceit and corruption.

    —“The Democrats have spent the last 50 years trying to replace husbands and fathers with government programs.”—Eric Blankenburg

    WEALTH CREATES OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE BIASES. The presumption that people would converge was wrong. Instead, when given license, people specialized (diverge).

    Universal Law: All Religious Rituals Consist of Repayments of Debts. That’s why they ‘feel good’.

    Um. OK? Love women. They are not men. Reason with men. Love women. It’s not complicated.

    lolz. The fact that the liberals don’t ‘get’ the ‘inner monolog’ observation as evidence they don’t get the function of inner monologs… the irony is painful.

    —“One of the great successes of the new right has been destroying the intellectual legitimacy of libertarianism which, heretofore, looked pretty indestructible as a model.”— Michael Churchill

    —“Whatever moral high ground the press in this country ever had went out the window when they decided to become agents of political influence by throwing in their lot with the deep state against the people’s interest.”— Brandon Collette

    —“Plenty of right wingers are NPC as fuck. The point is we can’t centralize the scripting because they are siloed.”—Jennifer Dean

    —“There’s no debate between packs, debates are futile. What you see is negotiation about tools, wealth, status, and women.”— Johannes Jost Meixner

    If you have to choose between archimedes, aristotle, zeno-epicurus, Homer, and the Greek Tragedies and their results in the ancient and modern worlds, vs abraham, saul, and mohammed, their false histories, and their destruction of the every great civilization of the ancient world, and current destruction of the present. what kind of psychopath chooses the latter?

    —“I find the left’s view our relative lack of obsession with empathy/feelings for dysfunctional groups as the primary decisive factor in forming an opinion, as psychopathy.”— John Mark

    –“Good people” (who are otherwise seen to be law-abiding, decent, etc.) have been too romanticized. “Good people,” because they have no moral underpinnings, are good only because of the ecology. The ecology is set by the “fight” between good-fighters and evil. Political correctness and comforts of wealth has castrated or reduced the number good-fighters in the West, the reason the culture has shifted in favor of the evil.”– Jayant Bhandari

    WHY PEOPLE PREFER UNEQUAL SOCIETIES https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0082 –“When people are asked about the ideal distribution of wealth in their country, they actually prefer unequal societies. We suggest that these two phenomena can be reconciled by noticing that, despite appearances to the contrary, there is no evidence that people are bothered by economic inequality itself. Rather, they are bothered by something that is often confounded with inequality: economic unfairness.”— People do not seek equality, but reciprocity and proportionality.

    –“We live under discretionary law disguised as legislature (rule by law) oppose to rule of law (iterative and incremental approaching asymptotic perfect reciprocity)”— Bill Joslin

    —“The relative inequality that causes violence is much more likely a deep seated sense of unfairness (manifesting in the world as inequality) but actually the result of policy being unfair [unjust is the issue, not unequal; or unjust application]. Unduly favoring certain people over others within the same geographic space [most likely differences in enforcement due to class].”— Brandon Hayes IMO Violence = Proximity + Inequality = Signal Deprivation.

    —“Tolerance is just a societal virtue signal that we are rich enough to afford a multicultural and diverse array of waste and still survive.”—Steve Pender

    —“Owning property puts skin in the game. Renting does not. Cities are just serf stacks.”—Luke Weinhagen Followed by: —“How many shacks could a serf shack stack if a serf stack could stack shacks?”—Micah Pezdirtz

    We are sort of at that stage where we have nearly a critical mass of people who can teach this stuff. Just about. You can see the guys who are catching up to me, eli, bill and each of whom is specializing in some aspect or other. It’s exciting to see the “application” of the ideas to different areas of interest.

    —“This is this disease they call “the economy” that they keep protecting.”—- Neil A. Bucklew

    The thing is, that WN is a clan preference, while nationalism and ethnocentrism is a universal scientific, ethical, and moral, optium. The question is, why do WN value the universal optimum?

    Phrase Of The Day: —“Oak Tree Nationalism.”— Andrew Gribble

    We assume what we intuit from our childhood is natural rather than taught. What moves us is well understood. The question is why some of us are taught it via nonsense and some of us not. 😉

    Men talk to women as potential customers, and women talk to men as vendors. You know. that’s the best analogy I’ve seen yet.

    —“Work Hard, Be Nice to People, Be Forgiving of People, and Punish the Wicked – Quickly and Harshly”—  Everyone seems to forget the last bit.

    —“When we took violence off the table we invited lies in its place”—Greg Hamilton
