Question from the comments for Vox Day on the highly popular Midnight’s War Kickstarter, which has one week left to contribute if you want to get in:

How do you upgrade or add-on an existing Midnight’s War pledge? I can’t seem to modify my pledge. It just gives me the option of canceling it.

Idaho murders – Hoodie guy, who Madison said, “Fuck you mister!” to at the food truck earlier for following them, is seen on video continuing to walk closely to the two girls in another surveillance video from the night of the murder, where he appears to say at the beginning, “They are going to get you for this…” The girls seem to ignore him, with one asking “What did you tell Adam?,” and the other answering, “I told Adam everything!,” as if she revealed stuff Hoodie would have wanted kept secret and was goading him. Kaylee had told people she had a stalker who followed her from bar to bar at night. There may be a lot of Americans undergoing stuff every day that the other side of America would not dream possible in this country. And I think whatever happened here was some kind of fuckup. Maybe the local crew went off the deep end while drunk on power, maybe they intended to break in and move furniture around in the middle of the night, got caught, and in the struggle killed one person, and then decided to kill everyone to eliminate witnesses. Or the surveillance got tricked into doing coverage only to find out later it was prep-work for the Cartel-wing of Cabal looking to settle a score. Somehow this was a fuckup, which is why they are on 4Chan running threads on this to try to control the citizen investigation, and probe for any loose ends they missed. But even so blips and blurbs keep popping out.

Georgia’s corrupt Secretary of State Raffensperger wants the corrupt election process “ranked choice voting” because the courts are about to hold that GA voting machines are unconstitutional as they don’t provide a verifiable ballot.

Internal communications between top election officials in Arizona’s Maricopa County in the immediate aftermath of Election Day reveal that they struggled to reconcile a discrepancy of almost 16,000 in outstanding ballot totals.

Twitter files supplemental – FBI acknowledges in messages to Twitter that it is acting as a conduit for the “intelligence community” (much of which is barred from acting domestically), when it complains Twitter said foreign state interference propaganda is low on the platform. They try to browbeat Twitter to say foreign interference is high, so their own interference can be justified.

Daily Mail coverage –Twitter Files bombshell as emails show even chief censor feared the FBI was breaking the law helping US intelligence engage in domestic operations:

The New York Post reports that Twitter’s top ranks are filled with ex-FBI agents and executives. It is not even necessarily that they were FBI, it is that they were in the intel op as active participants, probably starting as kids, spying on other kids in grade school and running surveillance in their teens. That was how they got in the FBI, and it is why they were put in Twitter. One of the most fascinating things about this, is all the doors that are closed to regular Americans. And those Americas have absolutely no idea there are so many occupations they would think they could do competently and attain with nothing more than hard work and dedication, but which they would never even begin to be allowed to get near. Meanwhile the Secret Society is out there, and I think many of them probably are given no choice but to enter all these positions, because Cabal needs trusted assets doing these things.

CDC used a secret backchannel with Twitter to control the Covid-19 narrative.

Rep. Matt Gaetz says latest Elon Twitter dump shows that FBI needs a “serious reshaping.” No, it needs to be abolished entirely, and let local Police Departments assign local officers to handle federal matters.

In a chilling letter from Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), André Carson (D-Ind.), Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Facebook was given a not-so-subtle threat that reducing its infamous censorship system will invite congressional action.

Not related to any of the links. Its a substack piece, so I thought I would include the link before I forgot it.

Michael Senger has made a strong argument that the Wuhan lab leak theory for the origins of COVID is a controlled oppo operation. His main argument is that COVID was just a rebranding of the normal flu season, and the excess mortality was caused directly by the measures taken to supposedly treat or contain COVID, starting with using ventilation instead of antibiotics. Essentially people would go to the hospital with the normal flu at the start, and then just killed by the “treatment” instead of receiving the normal flu treatment. He says there is little positive evidence for some sort of leak by the bioweapons lab, and in fact the narrative is being spread by the usual suspects.

Here is the link:

https://michaelpsenger.substack.com/p/drastic-founder-renounces-lab-leak?utm_source=cross-post&publication_id=834349&post_id=89064796&isFreemail=true&utm_campaign=677727&utm_medium=email

I think the argument is persuasive. My only caution is that Senger is not Cabal aware, and obviously still thinks about national rivalrys being behind most things. So he thinks the CCP and particularly Xi is organizing this (he doesn’t even seem aware that there is factional conflict within the CCP). Likely this is a Cabal op, one of the features is telling various nationalist groupings in various countries, who would mostly likely interfere with Cabal plans, that the whole thing is caused by some national security operation in a rival country.

I hate to break the news to you, but the U.S., and other major powers, have been engaging in bioweapons research, with very, very long paper trails and hundreds of whistle blowers, since before WWII, possibly much longer than that. It’s not all kayfabe.

Covid is not just the flu. I’ve had the flu any number of times since childhood, and Covid was not ANYTHING like it.

Covid felt foreign, and resulted in a 5 day fever, which was unprecedented for me.

I doubt we’ll ever have conclusive proof of where it started if it was a bioweapon, and given we still can’t isolate viruses pretty much ever, proving the differentiation between the flu and corona is going to be normie-poison that they will never grasp beyond “muh uncle got sick so ur wrong idiot.”

The “treatment is the killer” concept has been the main focal point in my personal campaign to get people to flip to our side. Prescribing Remdesivir as a first line instead of the multiple alternatives that were ACTUALLY “safe and effective,” then preemptively ventilating people with relatively normal O2 sats should be treated as akin to hitting them in the head with a brick in terms of legal culpability for murder, and it’s something dumbasses can understand without leaning too heavily on the conspiracy angles.

This is not even close to the truth and you evidently can not even spend the tiny amount of time to find any facts at all.

I and others have gone over this I won’t repeat myself.

I might ask you one question. If we can not isolate viruses, then how did polio and smallpox disappear from areas where people were vaccinated? And don’t say better health because they gave vaccines to people in Africa that live in some of the most squalid slums on the planet and smallpox disappeared there too. The question answers itself.

Seeing these same nonsense statements over and over again…It’s all so tiresome.

He’s wrong. I know someone who almost died from it. I had something, maybe covid, that was totally different, much like Dave. I was sick for a week. The flu is three days, I was like this for a week and still symptomatic much longer like 5 more days.

If the medical system were not so screwed up I would have definitely gone to the doctor but I was afraid they would drug me and ventilate me. Also, I had Ivermectin and several other things that I think they would have stopped me from taking. It’s a damn shame you can’t go to the doctor for fear they will withhold treatment and possibly kill you.

It was all of the above. The Covid bio-weapon was released, the flu (and “colds”) was rebranded to enhance the hysteria, hospital “treatments” were used to increase the death count, and the vaxxes were rolled out to finish the job. All in an orchestrated multi-channel psy -op to lock down, control and kill as many as they could. “They” being Cabal, or one of its prime factions, and their demonic handlers.

Elon asks, “Should I step down as head of Twitter?…”

??? What is he doing? Trying to get out of the lone of fire maybe?

I still say that he never meant to buy twitter at all. I think he knew the numbers of users was fake and expected he could, legally, back out but the corrupt Delaware judges ignored the corruption and so did the SEC and they boxed him in.

It never made sense for him to buy it and especially the high bid. The high bid meant they HAD to give him access and I think he expected the corruption he found to let him bow out.

Now great deal of people say he is cabal but this twitter fiasco has in no way been a winner for the deep State. It outed them big time. Confirmed election fraud. So if he IS cabal then those guys and he are fools. If people didn’t know about the corruption before, they HAVE to know now. I expect this will not change one brain cell of the Musk haters. They will still say he is deep State even though all he has done has never really been in their interest.

Are you not seeing amd hearing the not-so-gradual-now awakening re: the plandemic happening in normies, and what that means as far as the masses realizing how much we’ve all been lied to, and who’s been doing the lying?

Trump winning in 2016 was obviously a battle won, yes? You think 6 years is a long time? Imagine being 90 years old right now. Furthermore, remember that this is a war which has been fought for THOUSANDS of years! 6 years is the flutter of an eyelid.

Every story AC posts about the election fraud being detected is a battle won, it’s just that — SO FAR — the villains have succeeded in evading FULL awareness and REAL accountability. So far. Not for long.

For fuck’s sake, every single AC blog entry which exposes the surveillance is its own little battle won. The dam erected by the time-displacing ghouls who’ve had control for so long has an irreparable number of cracks now. The screws holding together the cage they’ve had us trapped in are too loosened for them to retighten.

Georgia’s corrupt Secretary of State Raffensperger wants the corrupt election process “ranked choice voting” because the courts are about to hold that GA voting machines are unconstitutional as they don’t provide a verifiable ballot.

I wish conservatives would just stop this. Bannon is also really bad on this, and he should know better.

Ranked choice voting is just a runoff election, but its conducted at the same time as the original election. Its common for electoral systems, including lots of elections in the USA, going back for decades, to provide for a second election if no one gets a majority in the main election, with just the top two finishers from the main election as candidates. If your side can persuade a majority to back you, at least as being better than your main opponent, you still win. They are no more nor less stealable than plurality elections, in fact they can be gamed less than plurality elections since running fake spoiler candidates is less effective a tactic..

Ranked choice voting was a runoff invented because conservatives objected to running runoff elections because, hey, elections are expensive and we want to limit the amount of money spent on them. They are somewhat gimmicky, and I would prefer a runoff myself since they are easier for voters to understand, and the extra campaign gives voters more information. Conservatives in English speaking countries (well not Australia, where they have been used for over a century) seem to object to them on principle and will refuse to list their second choices, giving non-conservative candidates an edge, but that can be fixed by just not bad mouthing them and strategizing around them. They are legitimate elections. Its like American conservatives not presenting their case before non-partisan redistricting commissions, because legislative districts should be drawn to help election particular candidates, dammit, then complaining when they release less desirable maps.

They also have absolutely noting to do with voting machines, mules, and other means to steal elections. They are just runoffs held at the same time as the main election, instead of a separate election a few weeks later. No more or less easier to steal than a plurality election.

Ranked choice is simply letting the corrupt vote counters institutionalize a public acceptance that the bureaucrats can move votes around from less good candidates to better candidates. The methodology may or may not be sound, it’s about shifting the Overton window from “my vote goes where I say it goes no matter what” to “ok mr. government redistribute my vote as needed because reasons.”

No, runoff elections do the same thing and are much better, for the reasons you state.

However, its really not an issue, and has been used successfully in other countries, if the count is done in public and in full view of observers from all parties. Televise it. The United States, with its single member plurality elections, doesn’t do that and uses machines as well. That is why American elections get stolen. It has nothing to do with plurality vs majority requirements, or single member vs multi member for that matter.

Runoffs should have to be run a second time with more time for the survivors to make their case to those who voted for the people who lost.

But almost any system is OK if it is conducted on hand counts of paper ballots with lots of observers.

Colorado has Dominion manuals on their website. Dominion gives a ranked choice voting example showing how a single change in a software setting can change the winner in a election from candidate A to candidate B.

Dominion doesn’t usually give helpful examples in their manuals.

The setting toggles between methods of breaking a tie in a round of ranked choice voting. Change the method, change the winner who advances to the next round.

The result is that cheaters don’t have to straight-up create a winning margin for their candidate anymore. They just have to create a pathway to a win, and computers can help with that. The number of votes they need to inject are much smaller, and some ballots can have a losing candidate as the first choice.

Almost none of the voters will understand how the ranked choice procedure works, let alone how it is actually implemented, and it will be an absolute bitch to recount by hand.

It’s difficult for me to resist the temptation to play Whack A Mole with the trolls who want to generate UNRIGHTEOUS and UNNECESSARY hostility, whether it be the black supremacists (or Cabal algorithms or Mossad keyboard warriors or whatever pretending to be such) on Lipstick Alley or the white supremacists (ditto) on Gab. But then, as you mention, I wind up falling into the trap of AMPLIFYING the hostility by resisting it. “Colorfully”, as you point out. (I do love shitting on fools with all types of obscene insults, I can’t help it. You can take the man out of Southie, but…well, I need to rein in that habit, regardless.) “Resist not evil” is the most counterintuitive tip in the Gospels, for sure.

Anyway, I will try to keep Moving In The Positive, as Stevie sings. Stay positive, stay positive, stay positive. Be cheerful, be hopeful, be compassionate, even toward idiots, even toward FUCKING ALGORITHMS, because now the algoritms MIGHT AS WELL BE genuinely deluded idiots, the mimickry has become *that* good.

Ultimately, though, we are all going to have to Make A Pact, as Stevie sings. The good faith left wingers who haven’t been hopelessly mentally-colonized yet, and the right wingers who aren’t permanently emotionally-invested in triggering some race war. Cabal will NOT be *finally* defeated if it’s JUST the right wing doing all the heavy lifting, if we keep wanting to obliterate the Other Side because of extremely understandable FEARS. No need to *trust* the other side, but there are opportunities for jaw-dropping unity, and we have to get to that point for Victory to finally be ours. We’re tired of the culture wars by now, right? Because the “progressive” globalist ghouls have revealed their hideous hand to an unforgettable, inexcusable, inhumanly-evil extent? Have we finally reached the point in They Live where we’re exhausted from the infighting and ready to slap the sunglasses on each other? Time for a Predator Handshake yet?

In real life, I have often observed that I can agree with an individuals salient points 100%, but if he makes his points with snark, sarcasm, epithets, yelling, or other aggressive approaches I rapidly lose interest in listening. A speaker can alienated the listener, by being an ass.

I appreciated that you drew attention to Maria’s confirmation. That was a good thing you did.

England’s migrant transformation is even bigger than America’s: Eventually, it could become a majority Muslim country.

I’m not an open borders guy by any means, but I’ll note that I’ve been seeing stories just like this regularly since the early 1990s, where a European country (usually France) is just about to have a Muslim majority. And somehow, it never happens. But its always just about to happen. So I’m calling fear porn.

Kickstarter isn’t very sensible, so here’s how you change what you’re getting on the Midnight’s War Kickstarter:
Go “Manage your pledge” -> “Change your pledge”. Pledges on Kickstarter are a base reward plus optional add-ons. This Kickstarter heavily leans on add-ons since they can be more freely combined. On this screen, select what you want as your base reward, and then click on the corresponding “Pledge” button.
The next screen lets you select the add-ons you desire. Select them, then click the “Continue” button.
The next screen gives a description of what you’ve selected. Make sure all looks good, then click “Confirm changes”. You should now be done.

Rep. Matt Gaetz says latest Elon Twitter dump shows that FBI needs a “serious reshaping.” No, it needs to be abolished entirely, and let local Police Departments assign local officers to handle federal matters.

I would disagree with all of that. All of America is DEVOID of Arete. The FBI is DEVOID of Arete! How do you expect institutions to work if no one is of Good Character and PROPERLY trained to the Moral Order?

We need the FBI for when criminals travel across state lines. States do NOT have a budget to take down multi-state criminal organizations.

AC writes on another headline: “ That was how they got in the FBI, and it is why they were put in Twitter. One of the most fascinating things about this, is all the doors that are closed to regular Americans. And those Americas have absolutely no idea there are so many occupations …the Secret Society is out there…”

Yes. AND what are those characteristics that this “Secret Society” wants in people??? How did General Marx Karl Milley advance???? He went to Columbia University and was indoctrinated into Marxism! How come no one uses the term “Marxism”, Cultural Marxism, for? That is what Masons are. That is what the Illuminati, i.e. the Bushies, are! If you are a COMMUNIST—YOU GET HIRED. DUH!

Yes, there is a Weeding out Program! Of Course. I was weeded out in college, I was refused to get a philosophy degree at Berea College. Some twenty years later, I figured it out, the head of the philosophy department was a Hegelian– which is NOT philosophy. Hegel was into the Hermetic-Cabbalistic tradition; he was Judaized. Furthermore, I protested against abortion and homosexuality on campus. I was weeded out.

Why aren’t we saying it? The Secret Society is Cultural Marxists, into race-mixing, multiculturalism, Internationalism, anti-racism, homosexuality, feminism. That is what the FBI is filled with! They are C.O.M.M.U.N.I.S.T.S.

America is a Marxist country. Masonry laid the groundwork, and was succeeded by a better form called Marxism.

Next, Deport all the people who came here under the 1965 Immigration Act that are not Northern Europeans! Deport the Muslims. Deport the Jews. Take away voting rights from the Scotch, Irish and the Dutch. The FBI got expanded powers because of Muslim terrorism. Get rid of the Muslims and those powers will go away. The Jews bring in Muslims, they do terrorism, then the Jew cries for More Security–which then is used against the White Supremacists.

Who built the modern, much expanded Security State in America?

The Jews.

That is how you fix our problems. The Institution is NOT the problem—It is the People—that is the problem. The Problem is that People in America are NOT trained in Arete. And that we have a bunch of Foreigners in this country.

>The Institution is NOT the problem

The constitution has no provisions for a federal jackboot distribution system that is unaccountable to the states and their individual liberty. By definition a Federal Law Enforcement group is against the spirit of the constitution. The states have more than enough power and capacity to run their own investigations and to collaborate with other states on any specific matters that would fall under the interstate jurisdiction of the FBI’s alleged purpose.

It’s a pointlessly redundant body that has proven itself to be corruptible and anti-American. There is no defense left for it. Sure blame jews for corrupting it blah blah blah at the end of the day removing the obvious weapon from their hands until a better solution can be presented makes sense to reduce their threat level.

>Twitter files supplemental – FBI acknowledges in messages to Twitter that it is acting as a conduit for the “intelligence community” (much of which is barred from acting domestically),

Unfortunately, the FBI *is* allowed to do domestic intelligence gathering; it has been one of their roles since their creation. They butted heads with the CIA in the 1950s and Congress ruled a split between their functions: the FBI could still gather domestic and foreign intelligence, but the CIA was limited to foreign intelligence only.

Then there are about a hundred other Federal agencies that do intelligence as their primary mission, such as the Defense Intelligence Agency, or as a hobby, like the US Postal Service. They generally operate with no restrictions at all, though they don’t have the FBI’s traditional close coupling to the White House and the court system.

Though the FBI has always tried to present themselves as paladins of virtue, they were created as America’s answer to the Tsrar’s Cheka; they’ve always been political police and domestic spies.

England’s migrant transformation is even bigger than America’s: Eventually, it could become a majority Muslim country. With nukes, in a Europe where other nations may kick out their Muslims and become hostile to Islam.

All those WASPs that engaged in Masonry and then the Labor Party which is a Communist organization! The WASP did it to himself. The teachings in the Old Testament apply to ALL Nations. The punishment of disappearance of the Ten Tribes due to Idolatry is being visited upon the British peoples for they have committed Idolatry with Masonry, Rosicrucianism, Illuminati, Socialism, Communism. As the Ten Tribes went–So will the British tribes! They left The Catholic Faith—they disappear. Once a Nation becomes completely Catholic–It can not leave. If it does–It will be destroyed—miscegenated out of existence. The Monarchy’s hands are tied, not only by every Royal member being in Masonry but also Parliament, this “House of the People” decided to Rule Absolutely! Per Cromwell. The “House of the People” Did this to Britian!

It is amazing how ALL the Protestant countries are dissolving. The Catholic and Orthodox countries as well–for they all adopted Marxism. The Whole West is Marxist–they are all going down! Marxism is error, heresy and apostasy.

Catholicism is Babylonian Luciferianism. The Ten Northern Tribes still exist; If they don’t, then we are right back to Exodus where Moses persuaded God to not destroy the Israelites lest the surrounding heathen mock God and declare God could not save His chosen people. It would also mean God’s promises are without power or efficacy: you would make God a liar; and if so, why would anyone believe God is able to save sinners. You are also making the Millennial kingdom needless.
Again, you would make the blessing and prophecies of Abraham in Genesis 48 & 49 meaningless – simple gaseous meanderings of an old man.
Furthermore, God declared Israel – the Tribes – to be His inheritance while the rest of the nations belonged to the rebel heavenly council. Did God just throw away His own inheritance; and calling we who believe in Jesus Christ New, Spiritual Israel is utter silliness: why should we who believe in Jesus Christ think God will keep us any better than he did the Original(tm) Israel.

God is determined to make his people Righteous. Even if it means throwing away the majority of Jews who remain unrepentant. But he will have Jews from every tribe subject to Christ in the end.

He also misses out on the Messianic Jews.

Calling members of the other non-Judahite tribes Jews is irresponsible and muddies the waters. The Northern tribes became known as Scythians, Parthians, Goths, and Saxons.
There were members of the tribes that migrated out of Egypt after Joseph died as they were afraid of his descendants taking revenge; some members of the tribes migrated out during the Exodus.

Something I like to remind Christians who worship the Jews. God may favor the Jews, in the end, but he didn’t say anything about “these” Jews. The ones in power now. When the Jews misbehaved while Moses was on the mountain and he came back, what did he do to them? He slaughtered them, that’s what he did.

Next time a Jew tells you to read the bible, ask him if we should act like Moses.

> Biden, world leaders sign declaration to adopt vaccine passports for international travel.

Well, chances of ever making it to England to visit Crossness Station were negligible anyway. It had been on my to-see list for a long time.

Ironically, Crossness was born of plague; after they discovered the cholera outbreaks were caused by sewage contaminating the ground water, they built a giant shit pumping station to pump sewage far away. Which doesn’t sound all that touristy, except Crossness is full of Boulton & Watt steam engines, all lovingly restored and fully operational, though they only fire them up a couple of times a year. The Station came in under budget – those daft Victorians! – so the builders finished the inside in tile, stained glass, and carved pillars; it looks like a cathedral, except with gigantic Boulton & Watt engines occupying the place pews would have taken.

There are photos on the web, and some nice videos on YouTube. The one by Fred Dibnah is the best of them. Don’t worry if you can’t understand what he’s saying; most Brits can’t decipher his thick regional accent either. Just watch the giant horizontal engines with trunk pistons sliding tens of feet on each stroke, all of their bits open to view.

If you like steam engines and early industrial revolution stuff. I’m going to point towards a set of videos I have a strong belief that you will love. I mean really enjoy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revelations

This is about the Industrial Revolution, how it started, canals, coal, steam engines and yes the sewage pumping station. It’s so good. A great overview. They are on YouTube.

The way you talk about these big engines, I just know you will love this series. The canals were a BIG part of it.

Congress, the FBI, and Citizens must remember:

The FBI has no authority except for that which Congress grants it.

Congress cannot endow the FBI with powers not authorized by the Constitution.

No FBI activity can be beyond the oversight of Congress which answers to Citizens.


Tommy is so *cute* when he says that…

Congress and the FBI use the Constitution to wipe their behinds with.

It looks like a self-regulating problem to me. The losers OD, they die, no more OD problem.

This business of providing police with (expensive) Narcan and using them as medics is baloney. Dude ODs in an alley, the cop’s duty ends with calling the EMTs. If the jurisdiction wants to blow up the EMT budget with ODs, that’s a different problem.

Except they don’t die, not fast enough to solve the problem, and in the downward spiral take to robbery and other crimes against innocent people to fund the descent.

Any level of “softness on crime” is an active attempt to increase the misery level of the area affected. Seeing filth, dangerous bums nodding in gutters or their rotten corpses stinking up the ditches is objectively a worse outcome for real humans than throwing them by the thousands into a detention camp and figuring the rest out later.

> Major anti-NATO rally hits Paris streets.

France withdrew from NATO in 1966, and were outside its bureaucratic jackboot until just recently, when Sarkozy signed a new treaty. They did without NATO for half a century; tearing up that treaty would be easy for them to do.

The German invasion of France in 1939 and the dissolution of much of their overseas empire later were partially borne of military alliances that looked good on paper but didn’t work out when the fecal matter hit the ventilating unit. That’s one reason De Gaulle told NATO to fribble off and France handled their own military affairs without a bunch of foreigners poking their noses into it.
Sarkozy thought rejoining NATO would save some money; instead, it’s perilously close to dragging them into someone else’s war. And almost all of the members of NATO already shafted France before. Smooth move.

Multi-storey and underground car parks could collapse under the weight of electric vehicles, engineers have warned.

The link says electric cars are on average TWICE as heavy as regular cars. That’s a stunning fact. I’m kind of shocked I didn’t know that. It certainly isn’t something that’s widely promoted to sell the vehicles. I wonder how many virtue-signaling Tesla owners would realize that it takes a shit ton of energy and natural resources to move something that much heavier than their old car.
