"Intelligent men, for the sake of political correctness, say appallingly stupid things. Honest men utter unconvincing lies. Men of refined tastes strangle their aesthetic judgment and praise abominable trash and vomit. Men if otherwise solid moral character praise and promote perversion and nihilism."

"The reason why I call them Morlocks is that they were once men."


Total Morlock Death. Now.

Did you know The Brave Little Toaster was originally a book, and basically no fucking copies of this book exist or are in reprint?     (books)

If you want to buy the original book, you literally have to buy the original book. And it costs like $200-$400 used. Wtf?

Also did you know there was a sequel both in book and movie form? And for some reason the sequel is purchasable in reprint form?

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, Reviewed by George Orwell pdf - The translator presents Hitler in a kindly light, he had crushed the German labour movement for which the property owning classes were willing to forgive him almost anything and said "National Socialism is merely a version of Conservatism     (www.armyupress.army.mil)

When one compares Hitler’s utterances of a year or so ago with those made fifteen years earlier, a thing that strikes one is the rigidity of his mind, the way in which his world-view doesn’t develop. It is the fixed vision of a monomaniac and not likely to be much affected by the temporary manoeuvers of power politics.

Probably in his own mind, the Russo-German Pact represents no more than an alteration of time-table. The plan laid down in Mein Kampf was to smash Russia first, with the implied intention of smashing England afterwards. Now, as it has turned out, England has got to be dealt with first, because Russia was the more easily bribed of the two. But Russia’s turn will come when England is out of the picture. George Orwell @ Army.mil pdf.

There are serious reasons to believe much of the text of Mein Kampf was ghost written by Winston Churchill, considering similarities in WC's four volume tome A History of the English Speaking Peoples pdf .. we are working on this story and will present it in due course, despite it would be just as easy to say Churchill stole H's diction in the first place.

Please, read Mikhail Bulgakov before you die.

The Master and Margarita book is about Judeo-Satanism. A tale about the Devil in Russia and how Jesus was killed.

The White Guard book is about how the Ukrainian nationalists started fighting Russians and made them lose against Judeo-Communists.

Unfortunately in USSR naming the Jew was illegal, so he was unable to name the Jew. But you can understand what he is talking about if you are aware of what the Jews made happen in Russia.

There are also movies based on his books, but they are not good enough compared to his books.

What the Nurses Saw: An Investigation Into Systemic Medical Murders That Took Place in Hospitals During the COVID Panic and the Nurses Who Fought Back ... Their Patients (Medical System Corruption) Paperback –     (www.amazon.com)

What The Nurses Saw — It was Murder.

These protocols were explicitly ordered by those who took dictatorial control of the medical system early in the Panic (spring of 2020). Further, when they were shown to be demonstrably failing and harming many thousands of people, experienced healthcare professionals who raised informed concerns were silenced through demotion, firing, and organized campaigns of harassment promoted by the news media and enabled by companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, in some cases in collaboration with the White House and the Department of Justice’s FBI.

If this sounds very bad, it’s because it is.

What the Nurses Saw is documentation of what happens in the real world when bureaucrats, in this case bureaucrats in Washington DC, take literal dictatorial control over the practice of medicine.

On a pure dollar and cents level, one of every five dollars spent in the U.S. is spent on the products of the medical services industry, as is one of every three tax dollars. The U.S., more than any country in the world, and by a large measure, has been colonized by this industry. As part of this process, the industry and its operatives have corrupted and perverted science, academia, and the news media. Now it’s hard at work to weaken and degrade the last pillar that keeps the system even remotely functioning — the integrity of the nursing profession.

If we fail to support our good nurses, help them hold the line, and start aggressively turning things around, there is no practical limit to how far this totalitarian medical dictatorship which we in fact live under will go in its future abuse and exploitation of human beings.

#Breaking the First Rule of Fight Club

"The Club That Dare Not Speak Its Name"

This is an essay that appears in the new and wide-ranging SmartPop anthology, entitled You Do Not Talk About Fight Club: I Am Jack’s Completely Unauthorized Essay Collection. The anthology was edited by the brilliant media ecologist Read Mercer Schuchardt and features a forward by Chuck Palahniuk himself.

The Physics of Fight Club

There is a savage joy in violence. The secret of the success of Fight Club is its acceptance of that basic and uncomfortable truth, which is as well-known to every martial artist, gang member, and football hooligan as it is completely alien to the sedentary sort of middle-aged individuals favored by those who publish novels. For as men have known since long before the Colosseum’s sands were first soaked with blood, there is no adrenaline rush so great as the moment when two men put one another to the physical test.

Fight Club is a fascinating little book which not only embraced that truth, but in doing so, translated surprisingly well to the cinematic medium. This should probably not have been surprising, given that the author’s witch’s brew of male fury and raw but stylized violence is almost perfectly suited for that male audience which so enjoys the cinematic adventures of Bruce Lee, Jean-Claude van Damme, Jackie Chan, and a host of other aggressively oriented male leads. The combination of that visceral appeal with the brilliant casting of a ripped and shirtless Brad Pitt for the ladies all but assured Hollywood hit status.

When viewed from a technical perspective, Fight Club is nearly as absurd as any wuxia extravaganza featuring aerial acrobatics and mad dashes through the treetops, whereas from a psychological perspective, it is impressively accurate. To the combat-aware reader, the book raises the interesting question of how the author could have gotten the latter so right and the former so wrong.

Fight Club subscribes to the common conventional fiction that it is not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but rather the size of the fight in the dog. Although in Fight Club terms, this might be better described as the size of the proverbial canine’s violent sociopathy. As with most aphorisms, there is an element of truth to this; all things being equal, the tougher individual will usually prevail. But outside of the formalized structure of the boxing ring, all things are very seldom equal.

The most basic truth of unarmed combat is that F = M x A: Force equals Mass times Acceleration. Since Force is the measurement of what is smashing into your face and is the primary variable determining exactly what the effect of that blow will be, it is very important to understand the significance of this equation. Since Mass is a function of size, this means that a larger individual will usually pack a more powerful punch than a smaller one. Usually, but not always.

Kiked Children’s Books      (books)

Had the granddaughter this weekend, read her stories at night. Seems that there’s some weirdly described themes in some of these newer books.

One of those was this little number called Kitty Corn, about a kitten trying to be a unicorn. For reference:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itty-Bitty_Kitty-Corn

In it, this little cat made a paper horn and tried to present herself to her friends as a unicorn. Those two friends told her she would never be one. She just wasn’t a unicorn. Lo and behold a real unicorn showed up, and the little cat saw the differences between her and it. She realized she could never be a unicorn, no matter what she did. However in an odd twist, the unicorn told her that she always wanted to be a kitten, and with the kitten, wanting to be a unicorn, ergo, kitty – corn. it ends with the two of them laying together and their shadows blending so you couldn’t tell either one apart.

One of the lines repeated several times was: “I see you”. Not sure what that is, but seem to be important enough to say, over and over.

Checked out the author she’s not a jew, oddly enough. Has a couple other books that don’t seem to be along the same lines, but I haven’t looked into everything. I had to interrupt the story to tell the granddaughter that the kitten was just pretending. Because she clearly couldn’t be a real unicorn. No matter what she did she couldn’t be a real unicorn.

Needless to say, that book is now off the list of nighttime stories.

The Oubliette by J.C. Stearns

this one i'll not even spoil in detail. it starts off with a woman entering into the role of planetary governor after the death of her father, and...i'll not spoil what occurs next. suffice it so say, if you like your space politics flavored with just enough horror to tell you what kind of horror hides behind and inside that level of governance, this one is very good. a very good story about just a normal planet and the not so normal things hiding offcamera

The Colonel's Monograph by Graham McNeill

a very short but an extremely good little book. do you want HP lovecraft with a nice dose of space scifi? this one is for you. you can knock this one out in a few hours or less if you read fast enough. probably very cliche if youre astute enough with horror, but still a good take on a pretty classic setup. the plot speaks for itself so i'll not spoil it in detail. an archivist accepts an offer to categorize and sort the library of a retired colonel via a letter sent by her son

#A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality

Homosexuality: is it learned, biological or both?

The answer to this question deeply concerns parents. They want to know how they can best raise their children. A common belief today is that nothing can be done to foster the development of healthy heterosexual orientation in children. But the clinical experience and professional research of Dr. Nicolosi and others indicates otherwise.

In this groundbreaking book Joseph and Linda Ames Nicolosi uncover the most significant factors that contribute to a child's healthy sense of self as male or female. Listening to moving recollections from ex-homosexual men and women who describe what was missing in their own childhoods, the Nicolosis provide clear insight for identifying potential developmental roadblocks and give practical advice to parents for helping their children securely identify with their gender.

Replete with personal stories from parents, children and ex-homosexual strugglers, offers compassion and hope for all those parents who seek to lay a foundation for a healthy heterosexual identity in their children.

The 2017 edition can be found here: https://www.josephnicolosi.com/book-store/siayfehvtq7a22r4ud6yjkc8djhos3
