This story is a week old, but seven (7) candidates from the right-wing AfD party died in the few weeks before the upcoming election.

I don’t think a serious person can believe the government explanation that it’s a coincidence. Maybe if it was three or four, you could believe it was a coincidence, but seven? It’s too many.

Of course, those seven people probably don’t matter very much in the scheme of things. What does matter is sending the message that the government can just kill people and say it’s a coincidence and nothing will happen.

You people don’t know. This is a totally totalitarian system we live under, this democracy, and they will just kill you, and there is nothing you can do. What are you going to do? You’re already dead by the time they kill you. You can’t go to the polls and vote against yourself being killed. You can’t write a letter to your Congressman saying “I’m requesting you don’t kill me.” You’re dead. Literally the only thing dead people can do is lie there. They can’t vote or write their Congressman.

Most people don’t want to die. Some people do, but they’re usually not high functioning people. And even people who want to die usually don’t want to be mysteriously murdered. So people see this and say “I’m not running for office for the right-wing, they’ll just kill me and then nothing will happen.”

We are stagnant here, folks. You can’t fix the system.

We need to become vassals of the Chinese.

Previously: Tfw No One Told You Peasants are Peasants

People don’t want to hear the word “peasant,” as if it is some kind of nasty pejorative. What word are you supposed to use for the masses of people who make decisions based on something other than reality-based information?

What do you call people who believe that “trans kids deserve dignity” or that Trump is going to do mass deportations with an app? What word would you prefer I use?

They are peasants. That’s what they’re called. That’s what they’ve always been called. It is a group of people, the mass of people, who have simple drives and are not capable of complex critical or analytical thought.

For the record, I am Irish. I do not have patrician sensibilities. I am into grilled cheese, sex tourism, and jet skis. I listen to AC/DC. I support violence on principle, even if it serves no purpose. If black people are fighting outside a strip club for literally no reason, I start hooting.

I have taken professionally administered IQ tests, so I know where I sit, but I am a very humble man, and I don’t think I’m better than anyone (except Indians). I am not passing judgement. I am not insulting the peasantry, and in fact, I believe more capable people have a duty to protect them and provide them with lives of dignity. People who have an emotional response to the use of the word “peasant” are just emotional peasants.

But the peasantry exists. The majority of people cannot be reached with reality-based information, and must instead be appealed to with emotional materials.

You are not going to somehow convince the 90% of the population that has no interest in facts to look at the facts and make decisions based on the facts, and the people still trying to do that are actually insane. The only thing you could sway them with is an emotional appeal (which was the original goal of the Daily Stormer before the censorship made it impossible for it to reach anyone who wasn’t looking for it).

“Liberté, égalité, fraternité” failed. Actually, it’s the worst failure ever.

If you could have a discussion about the Jews, lay out all of the facts without irate lunatics screaming emotional slogans at you and claiming you are metaphysically evil for examining data, all of those capable of reality-based thinking would say “yeah, you’re right, we’re going to have to do something about these people.” Instead, we have a situation in this country where it is possible for Jews to make the argument that they are both the wealthiest and most powerful group in the world and also the most oppressed, and, from there, that they are being oppressed by Gazan infants and their only recourse is to burn them alive. And people take this seriously. Who takes it seriously? Only the peasants. No one engaged in reality-based thinking would take something like this seriously; it is drooling retard nonsense. But the Jews are able to charge it up with emotion, and the peasants will slurp it down like a delicious chocolate milkshake in the parking lot of UDF.

The issue is genetic. That is a demonstrable fact. Intelligent people have intelligent children and intelligent people tend to marry one another.

We have now had 150 years of democracy, this attempt to raise the peasants out of the dredges and up into the realm of the enlightened, and there has thus far been zero progress. It is less than zero progress. Far from the advent of the middle class raising the peasantry into the ranks of the enlightened patrician, the peasants are getting dumber the more pampered they are.

It’s like the old saying goes: “Give a peasant a fish and he’ll eat it. Give a peasant a boat and he’ll go to some filthy manmade lake and drive it around in circles while wasted on Coors Light.”

I should add that I think social mobility and meritocracy are fundamental goods, especially in comparison to an exclusively blood-based class system. This is something closer to what many of the Founding Fathers were pushing for, which is why they formed a democratic republic, but limited who was allowed to vote, explicitly preventing the enfranchisement of the peasantry while also providing a clear ladder for those born into the peasantry to climb their way out. This is significantly better than the ancient aristocratic system, but the ancient aristocratic system is infinitely better than universal suffrage. Universal suffrage democracy has failed, and maybe the system of the Founding Fathers was always going to devolve into this, which would mean that the historic aristocratic system is the only viable option.

Imagine if you had a 150-year-long program to teach dogs how to talk, and there were still no talking dogs, and the primary issue of discussion in society was how we needed more money to develop more advanced methods for teaching dogs how to talk.

This isn’t reasonable. In fact, it is pathological.

Mitch McConnell, as well as many others among the most powerful in government, often have approval ratings below 20%. Some of these “woke” policies that were forced down everyone’s throats by the government and media had less than 10% popular support. The will of the people is not being represented, because the masses of people are incapable of engaging the system in the way that supporters of democracy imagine they should be able to engage it. What you end up with, in a democracy, is a minority of people controlling the majority of people and enforcing their will on them. That is, the same thing you had in an aristocracy. It’s just that in an aristocracy, the elite typically felt some kind of compassion for the peasantry, and further, everyone knew who was in charge, and if the elite got out of control, the peasantry knew who to riot against, whose heads to put on stakes. So in an authoritarian system, there is an actual, working system of checks and balances.

In a modern universal suffrage democracy, no one has any idea who is responsible for anything. Further, if leaders are so hated that they are forced to resign, they are very easily replaced by people bought and paid for by the exact same interests. New leaders can just be slotted in, while the people behind the scenes, who actually run the mechanism of state, remain unchanged.

Democracy is the worst system imaginable, and it will always devolve into the most aggressive form of tyranny, which is what has happened in the modern West. The peasantry obviously does not like the situation, but they have no recourse, and if they complain, they are told to vote. But the system of voting is completely controlled by emotional appeals, perfected in a laboratory setting by the financial interests that own the politicians.

There is no way to fix the system. At this point, the only plausible solution to the Western empire is for the empire to overextend, to collapse internally, and to be replaced with some form of despotism. That is not ideal, obviously. But there is no other path out of this corner we’ve been boxed into by democracy.

This is all very obvious. I am not saying anything here that is not right in front of everyone’s faces. The problem is that people who should know better – smart people – have a religious devotion to the concept of universal suffrage democracy, because they have a mystical belief in the nobility of the peasantry. Peasants are not nobles. If they were nobles, they would be called “nobles” and not “peasants.”

When I see people who believe in democracy lamenting that the peasants don’t care about the facts, it makes me sick. They appear to be insane. I used Caitlin Johnstone as an example of someone doing this because she came across my feed doing this. I didn’t mean to target her specifically, and I do generally appreciate her work. But I would challenge her or anyone else who believes in democracy to a debate on how exactly you are going to convince the 90ish percent of the population that has no interest in facts to be concerned about facts.

I know Johnstone bans anyone who uses the word “Jew” in her comments section, so I’d be happy to put it in writing that I will only speak of “Zionists” during our debate, and never say the word “Jew.” This issue is only tangentially related to the Jews anyway. It’s a question of human nature, which existed long before Jews took over Western civilization. It just so happens that the situation was very good for the Jews, as they are the ultimate experts at manipulating the peasantry.

Words can’t express how disgusted I am with Trump supporters who defend their president stomping out speech rights for Israel after spending years wailing about the loss of free speech in America. It’s beyond mere political differences. I don’t respect them as people.

Of all the…

— Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) March 10, 2025

Note: I’m not doing the news anymore, so I am assuming you know what is going on. But I’ll give a brief update, just in case. The Trump Administration has recently begun taking actions to crackdown on criticism of the Jews, at least as aggressively, if not more so, then what the Biden administration did to crackdown on criticism of vaccines and trannies. Perhaps the best aspect of this, which I didn’t even think was real when I heard it, was that RFK has declared “antisemitism” a health emergency. Marco Rubio is also deporting people for criticizing Jews. They’re also of course continuing and escalating the attack on universities that allow pro-Palestinian speech on campus.

Caitlin Johnstone, an “old leftish” blogger (she does support trannies and mass immigration, so she’s not exactly a ye olde leftist) who has a semi-popular Twitter account, has a semi-viral post up about how conservatives claimed about censorship for years and now all of the sudden support the Trump Administration’s egregious crackdown on “antisemitic speech.”

Everything she says in the post is just obvious. I’ve become exhausted by people saying obvious things, while being incapable of recognizing obvious facts about human nature, instead exalting a mythical vision of the ideal man that has never existed and cannot exist.

In response to conservatives supporting all these new laws and initiatives against criticism of the Jews, she writes:

If you are doing this, you’re just admitting that you don’t stand for anything, and you’re just drifting along with the herd and supporting whatever the man in charge tells you to support. You’re unthinking human livestock. A mindless, useless, pointless NPC. You have wasted all of your time on this planet, because you did not use that time to mature into a sovereign adult with basic intellectual agency and integrity.

(You can read the whole rant by clicking the above tweet.)

Apparently, no one told her peasants exist, and therefore she believes that standard peasant behavior is an egregious moral failing.

“Unthinking human livestock” defines the vast majority of the human population. This is brutally self-evident, simply by looking around, anywhere. Of course, the implications of that are too terrible for anyone who believes in “Western values” to confront, and thus they instead attack the overwhelming majority of the human population as immoral, refusing to reach the spiritual self-actualization that they assert, without evidence, is possible for all humans.

Obviously, it is disgusting to claim you support freedom of speech because you want to say tranny and retard (which is meaningless) and then support censorship of speech criticizing the most powerful people in the world. But did you think the peasants were not disgusting? Have you seen how fat they are? Have you ever talked to them? Have you ever listened to a modern pop song?

A couple years ago, “Wet Ass Pussy” was the number one song for like, months.

Peasants are not intellectual, they are not principled.

What peasants do is find a leader and identify him as a father figure who is defending their interests and then do whatever he says.

If Trump said it was time to start rounding up Jews, putting them in camps and gassing them, MAGA would be just as enthusiastic about that as they are about arresting people for criticizing these same Jews. There are not philosophical principles here. MAGA people don’t like perverts, they don’t like being told what to do, they don’t like being poor. All of the rest of it is extremely flexible if not outright arbitrary.

But if this is true, then democracy is completely ridiculous, right? And no one such as Caitlin Johnstone wants to admit that human nature makes democracy a completely unworkable system, and would rather just complain about how people need to become fully actualized individuals.

The reality is, in order to have a moral and principled society, you need an aristocracy that is bound by honor based in religious doctrine to guide the peasantry.

For the record, I think the original American idea of only allowing males who own land to vote was more or less workable. But when you have universal suffrage, and literally allow women to vote, along with negroes and immigrants, you are just going to get an utterly debauched orgy of grotesque moronism, a paradise for nonsense and cartoonish corruption.

If these people, Caitlin Johnstone and every other one of these people constantly complaining about hypocrisy, are so concerned about the integrity of a principled order of society, they need to start calling for an end to democracy. Right now, this is like living in a swamp and becoming outraged that you are being swarmed with insects, and condemning the insects as immoral for violating the non-aggression principle.

If Johnstone was talking about people like Ben Shapiro and Barry Weiss (and a whole list of other “Jewish conservatives”) who did their whole bit about free speech for years and now all of the sudden are calling for Andrew Tate to be crucified in front of the castle in the Magic Kingdom because Florida doesn’t tolerate people asking questions about Jewish power, then okay. Those people can be criticized. I think it’s pointless, because anyone who thought Ben Shapiro would support the First Amendment right to criticize Jews is retarded. But he is a public figure who frames himself as an intellectual who will “debate anyone on facts and logic” who takes positions which are not based on facts and do not make logical sense.

But attacking the peasants for going along with whatever the media says is so ridiculous that it is beyond ridicule. Caitlin, when conservatives were demanding the right to say retard and tranny, did you imagine that if Donald Trump said it was illegal to criticize the Jews, they would take a principled stance against that? Are you surprised by this development? I seriously doubt you are, so if you could have predicted it years ago, then how can you now be outraged by it?

We’re back to the old analogy of releasing a horde of hungry tigers onto the streets of a crowded city and being outraged when they attack people. If you understand that this “hypocritical” (really just mindless, as hypocrisy implies malice, which I don’t think is there) behavior is a part of the nature of the masses of humans, then just as you need to prevent a horde of hungry tigers from being released onto the streets of a crowded urban area, you need to prevent the masses of people from having influence on the direction of society. That means you have to end democracy, or at the very least, completely reform it and remove the rights of people who do not at least own property and have a certain amount of wealth in their portfolio from being allowed to influence public policy.

(Note: I understand that not everyone who is broke qualifies as a mindless peasant in the current year. I think this would have been true historically, but at this point in history, a lot of intelligent young men don’t have any incentives to strive for success, and make the calculation that it makes more sense to sit at home and eat noodles and play video games. I don’t support that decision, but I do think it is somewhat reasonable, given the situation created by feminism where men don’t really have any hope of building a family, which was historically the underlying drive to be successful. Well, technically, the original underlying drive was sex, but traditionally, sex led to children, and whether you were planning for it or not, when you see that little guy, it ignites a fire in you to work and build. Everyone at this point is aware that you can’t just get a good job and work hard until you’re 25 and then marry a 16 year old virgin. So the basic incentive is gone, and so there are intelligent men who say “fuck it, bro, /pol/ might be shilled out to oblivion, but PoE2 is fire.” That said, I can’t think of any measure other than wealth to measure the competence of a man to engage the political process.)

If every human citizen was fully actualized in the Maslowian sense, there was mass outrage against Trump’s move to shut down criticism of the Jews, and Trump would presumably change his position. More importantly, if only non-peasants were allowed to participate in the electoral process, Trump would not have needed hundreds of billions of dollars from Zionist Jews in order to get elected, and the entire House and Senate would not be filled with bought and paid for Jewish shills. The reason that campaign finance is such a cancer is that it allows targeted propaganda at the masses of morons.

Consider Dan Crenshaw, who is hated by basically everyone in America. Or Mitch McConnell for that matter. The reason they keep getting elected is that they have huge amounts of money, primarily from Jews and Jewish-connected internationalists and warmongers, which allows them to do massive advertising campaigns. These advertising campaigns are aimed at the peasants, not the thinking man. You could put me in an A Clockwork Orange style torture room watching advertisements about how Crenshaw is an American hero who lost his gosh damned eyeball to the hajis and now fights for freedom, and I still would vote for whoever his primary opponent was, and in a serious country, his primary opponent would be someone on par with Thomas Massie.

I agree with everything Johnstone is saying, just as I agreed with everything conservatives said about the Biden Administration’s crackdown on speech. But I agree in the same way that I would agree that “it’s a shame these hungry tigers are ripping people up on the streets of this crowded city.”

These people are not addressing the root issue. And I simply cannot imagine how that is not obvious. Actually, I can imagine it, and I know exactly what it is: they are tied up in an ideology that says that all humans are somehow equal, and they are all capable of totally rational analysis of often complex philosophical issues that underline political machinations. They are committed to this in a Captain Ahab type of pathological manner.

This has been going on for many decades now. There are a lot of people saying the same thing Caitlin is saying about the need for a principled social order, and they are on both the left and the right, and the things they are saying are self-evidently true. And yet no one cares, and they must know that no one cares, because their materials have zero effect on the functioning of society.

The root issue is that modern Western style democracy is not viable. It can exist for a while, and can even be prosperous for a few decades, but it is ultimately so corrupt, due to the ability to influence the rootless emotions and low intellect of the peasantry, that it is not sustainable long term, or even in the medium term.

H.L. Mencken was saying all of this in the 1910s. It has always been obvious. But of course, Mencken supported Hitler, so not only can he not be taken seriously, everything he said must necessarily have been wrong, because Hitler was pure evil, because he didn’t love the baby-killing kikes, the selfsame kikes who Caitlin Johnstone is now demanding a right to condemn.

Journalist Lee Fang was a guest host for Glenn Greenwald’s System Update show on Rumble last week. Glenn needs to go on many vacations, I’m sure to, you know, experience cultures and so on. I’m sure that’s his main priority on all these vacations he’s constantly on.

Lee is one of the last real journalists. At least at the Intercept he was doing work that was really beyond what most all journalists are doing. He’s fine on podcasts, although he’s got that Chinese autism-like thing that 90% of Chinamen have. He’s not gay, by the way. With dapper East Asians it’s sometimes a bit ambiguous, especially when they’ve got his sort of interior design sense.

But he’s married and I think has kids. Hosting the show, he was really having problems monologuing, but I think he was mostly nervous and relying on a teleprompter. I don’t think he’s ever hosted a video show solo like that, so I won’t judge, but the shows were a bit dull.

I listened to most of the shows he did. He made a comment on Friday I wanted to comment on. Talking about the conflict between Russia and America, he noted that Russia’s media propaganda is all about how they are defending traditional Christian values against the satanic West, while America’s propaganda is all about how they are protecting democracy (which is basically a codeword for “satanism” at this point, though Lee didn’t mention that). His analysis is that both of these narratives are just propaganda, and this is actually just a power struggle between two large states. This is sort of too obvious and literal to be actually useful analysis. It’s like claiming that a gunfight is really about bullets flying in different directions propelled by the rapid expansion of gases generated when the gunpowder inside the cartridge is ignited by the primer. The actual question of interest when analyzing a gunfight is why the two parties involved are firing guns at one another, not the ballistics.

When we consider why the US and Russia are involved in this struggle, the propaganda of the two states is basically the straightforward explanation. There is nuance, because Russia is not really an ideal Christian state (though I think it is trying to be, putting the standard amount of Russian effort into the project), and US-style democracy is not actually “freedom” but rather the opposite. But the basic narrative that this is a conflict rooted in differences in first principles is fundamentally true, and should be obvious.

Many or most former communist states, including former Russian states, have been fully or partially integrated into the Western system. None of those countries were anywhere near as powerful as Russia, but Russia spent the first decade and a half following the fall of communism making overtures to the West, pushing for collaborative ties, and they were successful in this endeavor with their energy relationship with Europe. But the US was intent on dominating Russia. But what does this domination entail? It is entirely about bullying Russia into accepting “Western democracy values,” which would mean abandoning the traditional values that Russia is striving to maintain.

When the United States claims that democracy countries do not have wars with each other, this is true. The reason is that the democracy ideology is fundamentally international and multicultural, and it is always dominated by the United States through the cultural manipulation that the US is so good at. If you allow democracy, that means you allow the Western media establishment (which they cartoonishly label a “free press”), which causes the population to adopt the American value system of materialism, consumerism, atheism, and the destruction of the family through normalization of decadent and deviant sexual norms. Meanwhile, the electoral system of democracy ensures that the power structure, controlled by the United States, can never actually be challenged. Even if you follow the rules the rules can be changed arbitrarily, as Romania’s Calin Georgescu recently discovered when he, as the election frontrunner, as banned from standing in the presidential election. If you are a democracy, you are under a full lockdown by the internationalist system that operates out of the United States, so there can’t be conflict.

Just so, Russia’s own mass media propaganda is absolutely correct that the United States is trying to force these values on Russia. Through the National Endowment for Democracy, USAID, a plethora of Soros-backed NGOs, the entire social media apparatus, and many other outlets, the US was actively spreading anti-Christian values in Russia, before these organizations were all banned by the Kremlin following the outbreak of the war.

So, while the propaganda might be an oversimplification, as all mass propaganda necessarily is, this is a pedantic argument. Defining it as a power struggle between states is technically true, but means nothing. The important issue is why the power struggle exists, and if Russia was a Western-style democracy, there would be no power struggle.

An important note is that the Russian elite do not have more wealth or power because the Russian state is resisting the Western system. Although Putin personally would have a problem if Western democracy were to triumph in Russia, the rich of Russia would end up with more money and not have to give up any power. When Romania went in on democracy, Nicolae Ceaușescu did not do well, but the elite made out like bandits, as the Western democracy system allowed for much more aggressive looting than the former communist system did. It was the political elite of Romania that sold Ceaușescu down the river, as they had made deals with the West that would allow them to privatize state assets.

One could claim that it is overly romantic to portray Vladimir Putin as a crusader fighting in defense of historical Christendom against the Western hordes of satanic perverts, but even the most cynical analysis would have to frame Putin as fighting for a personal legacy as a great man of history, and that legacy of greatness can only be based on the defense of traditional Russian identity. (No one is going to remember Mikhail Gorbachev or Boris Yeltsin as great men of history.) Therefore, the romantic and cynical interpretations of the personal motivations of Putin and his inner circle mean the same thing, and therefore any pontification of his personal motivations is a pointless distraction.

America is a satanic entity entirely controlled by Jews who hate Jesus Christ and all human normalcy. As Saint Paul said, the Jews are the enemies of all mankind. That is the core of the struggle between America and its enemies, and therefore, the simplistic narratives of the media apparatuses of both America and Russia reach a fundamental truth that Mearsheimerian power theory completely fails to address.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky claims all Ukrainians are against democratic elections pic.twitter.com/YDAyGj15Qm

— HOT SPOT (@HotSpotHotSpot) February 9, 2025

Let’s work through the reasoning here. Let’s try and figure it.

Democracy values are not just elections, but free and fair elections. That means that a US-backed candidate, in league with the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID (CIA) must be allowed to run and if he doesn’t win it’s not a free and fair election. If a country is not a democracy, it is an enemy of the United States, and is therefore subject to sanctions and wars.

For example, the 2024 Russian election was not free and fair, because the neo-Nazi and cosmetics fraud artist Alexi Navalny, a CIA asset, was not allowed to run in the election. With a record 77% voter turnout, Putin won 88% of the vote, but that is meaningless. If Trump had been banned from running in the 2024 election, 77% of the population would have turned out to vote and 88% would have voted for Kamala Harris. But Trump was allowed to run even though he attacked our democracy worse than the Civil War because of our values, so only 59% of people turned out to vote, and only 48% voted for Kamala, because Alexi Navalny wasn’t on that ballot either.

However, if Russia wants you to have an election, and you cancel elections, you are doing democracy because Russia is against democracy, and therefore if they want you to have an election, they are using elections to prevent democracy.

It’s all very simple.

RT:

Holding a vote amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine would spell a disaster for Kiev for a large number of reasons ranging from popular disapproval to literally “losing” its Armed Forces, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky claimed this week.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Ukraine conflict, Keith Kellogg, stated that Washington would like to see Kiev holding presidential and parliamentary votes before the end of the year. Zelensky had previously suspended both elections indefinitely, citing the martial law.

Elections in Ukraine at a time like this would only benefit Russia, the Ukrainian leader claimed in an interview with the ITV News broadcaster. “The topic of elections has been brought up by Russians,” he stated.

…

In his interview, Zelensky still maintained that Russia only wanted to see elections in Ukraine to bring about “destabilization” to its neighbor. He also claimed that Ukrainians themselves do not want to any vote while he himself was “absolutely not afraid of them.” “During this war, our population is against elections, all people are against it,” he stated.

According to the Ukrainian leader, holding an election would require the Ukrainian government to lift martial law as no voting is allowed as long as one is in place. “If we suspend the martial law we will lose our army,” he said, adding that Kiev would not be able to make the troops stay on the frontlines otherwise.

He’s right. People hate elections. All of the people in the Ukraine are against elections, because they support Zelensky and his endless war to ethnically cleanse the Former Territory of the Eastern Ukraine, because they fear he would lose the election and it could amazing end this war which has helped the Ukraine so much.

It’s known well by Zelensky that all people in the country support him. So what would be the point of having an election, when he could lose and voters could overturn the will of the people?

Elections are straight out of the Kremlin playbook.

The Ukraine is one of the happiest places on earth, because they know what they are doing is right. Once they finally take back this rural territory that is inhabited by Russians, which none of the soldiers fighting in the war have ever been to or ever even thought about before the US government ordered them to start attacking it, they will each reach self-actualization and potentially even transcend to a higher level of existence and become beings of pure light.

A being of pure light, living on the astral plane, doesn’t need elections.

And yet, page 327 of the Kremlin playbook states: “Ethereal beings living on the astral plane should be allowed to vote if it’s the law in their country that elections need to be held regularly. This is even true if they are ruled by the Maitria.”

It is unknown if Volomondorogor Zelensky is the Maitreya, but many astrological signs indicate he probably is. Yet, on page 741 of the Kremlin playbook, it states, “Vladimir Zelensky is probably not the Maitreya.” The playbook provides no evidence for the baseless and controversial claim.

But yeah, I mean, yo dog, I buried the lede.

The real story here is that, as I predicted, Trump is demanding Zelensky hold elections. He obviously can’t win, and would lose by a massive margin which would serve as a referendum on the war, showing that no one in the Ukraine wants this to keep going, which would be a mandate for Trump to force the country to end the war.

Furthermore, Russia is actually stating a matter of fact that because Zelensky has no legal status as the leader of the Ukraine, him signing a peace agreement doesn’t mean anything. To be clear, Russia is not saying this because they care about elections or try to force countries to honor the values of democracy. What Putin is saying is that because under Ukrainian law, Zelensky is not actually a valid leader of the country, if he signed a peace treaty it could be ignored by a future Ukrainian government because, they could say, Zelensky had no legal standing upon which to sign such a treaty.

Russia has said that they will talk to him, of course, but they are saying that they want someone who is legally the leader of the Ukraine to sign the deal so it can’t be later thrown out. If Zelensky changed the country’s constitution to make him leader for life, I think Russia would be fine signing an agreement with him.

I think Trump should put a better deadline on this than “by the end of the year,” however. It’s February. No one wants this to keep going for months. It’s time to wrap it up.

More and more protesters are gathering near the presidential residence in South Korea in an attempt to stop 2000+ police officers trying to arrest President Yoon.

The president is protected by a military unit of around 200 soldiers.

I’ll be this dickhead is wishing seppuku was a part of Korean culture right about now.

Ritual suicide to preserve the honor of one’s family has never been more appropriate than right here.

What a total disgrace.

The Guardian:

South Korea’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has been arrested and is to undergo questioning over his ill-fated declaration of martial law last month, anti-corruption investigators said on Wednesday, bringing to an end an early-morning standoff outside his official residence in Seoul.

Yoon remained defiant, however, saying he had agreed to cooperate with anti-corruption authorities to “avoid bloodshed” after the latest chapter in a saga that has rocked South Korean politics and triggered concern among its allies. Yoon said the rule of law had “completely collapsed” after his detention.

“President Yoon has decided to personally appear at the Corruption Investigation Office (CIO) today,” his lawyer Seok Dong-hyeon said on Facebook, adding that the impeached leader would also make a speech. But investigators announced shortly after that Yoon had been arrested.

Reports said a convoy of vehicles, one of which was presumably carrying Yoon, had left the presidential residence and later arrived at the offices of the anti-corruption agency heading the probe. His detention makes him the first sitting president in the nation’s history to be arrested.

Mind you, most of the presidents have been utterly corrupt members of bizarre cults.

Investigators had entered Yoon’s residence early on Wednesday in a fresh attempt to execute a warrant for his arrest over allegations that his declaration of martial law amounted to insurrection – a crime that can come with life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

Streets around the compound were sealed off with police buses and thousands of officers were present.

But crowds of Yoon supporters, most of them elderly, were gathered near the residence gates and around makeshift stages hosting speeches describing the arrest warrant “fake” and calling for the arrest of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung.

Braving the freezing early morning, many held up red light sticks, US flags and banners in both Korean and English, including “Stop the steal” and “CCP out”, embracing unfounded claims of electoral manipulation and alleged Chinese interference – despite the fact that no major election observers or courts have raised concerns about last April’s parliamentary vote that saw the opposition secure a decisive victory.

Nearby, a smaller group of pro-impeachment protesters, kept apart from Yoon’s supporters by a police cordon, was chanting “Enter! Enter! Arrest him!”

These Koreans are completely mind-fucked.

The US are the good guys?

The people who did this to your boys:

They’re the good guys?

They’re your friends, trying to help you… fight the Chinese leftists?

It’s a complicated history, but if you want to see what a country looks like when the US invades your country and then communists win, maybe go check out Vietnam.

It’s a really nice country and it doesn’t have these social issues. Their birthrate isn’t great, but it’s three times the birthrate of South Korea.

They don’t have this:

It was more or less an identical situation, where the US invaded an Asian country to stop communism. It’s just that in Vietnam, they failed. So Vietnam isn’t split in half with an ultra militarized DMZ driving everyone insane.

Anyway, I predicted that Korean society would completely unravel if Squid Game 2 sucked, and though I haven’t watched it, I’m sure it sucked. I might watch it at some point. But how could it not suck? The director didn’t even want to make it but they made him an offer he could not refuse.

This is just a complete mess. Like Taiwan, South Korea is an American Skinner Box where the Americans can just do anything to the people there. They have the entire right-wing of the country thinking the sickening Jewnited Snakes are the good guys, and somehow they are incapable of looking at the obvious fact that North Korea does not have this:

It’s sad.

I’ve had a lot of nonwhite friends, but the only really close nonwhite friend I ever had (frankly, the only close non-Irish diaspora friend I had) was Korean. He was neurotic as hell, and what I’ve come to understand is that this is the case with all South Koreans. They have been totally driven into pathological disorders by this ridiculous situation where the US tells them they are going to get bombed into oblivion by their brothers and sisters to the north, even whilst the only reason the North is militarized is that the US militarized the South.

I mean, I understand that all Asians dislike the Chinese to various extents, and I’m familiar with the reasons behind that. I’m actually not familiar with the reasons South Koreans don’t like the Chinese, as they are actually complaining about the Chinese government, which is not something I’ve ever heard from any other group of Asians. They all complain about Chinese people, but Koreans are the only ones complaining about “the CCP,” because of this overwhelming American influence. But seriously, even the Japs don’t complain about “the CCP,” they just generally dislike Chinese people.

In my experience, Chinese are gentlemanly and kind, but Asians have different concepts of politeness, and while they are similar from Korea to Thailand, Chinese don’t have these same customs, and this is generally the source of the animosity. It has nothing at all to do with the Chinese government, which if it is thought of at all is viewed much more positively than the Chinese people in general.

Korea needs to reunify in order to be fixed, and the US will never allow that.

I still don’t understand this Yoon coup, but it does now seem like the US was okay with it and might have supported it for some reason.

As long as the South is occupied by the US, the right will be screaming nonsense about China and the rest of the country will be doing this:

America gets to decide who runs your country.

This is because Jewish people are the chosen ones and were turned into soap, and this means they can do anything to anyone forever.

If you don’t do what they tell you to do, they will send people to kill you.

RT:

The US has increased its reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $25 million, up from the $15 million offered in 2020, the US Treasury announced on Friday. The move comes as part of a broader set of measures, including sanctions and travel restrictions, targeting officials associated with the Venezuelan government.

Washington has refused to recognize Maduro as the winner of the July 2024 presidential election, calling the vote rigged and undemocratic. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed last August that the US possessed “overwhelming evidence” suggesting that opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez was the actual winner of the election.

On Friday, the day of Maduro’s inauguration, the Treasury also accused the Venezuelan government of “repression and subversion of democracy.”

In addition to the increased bounty on Maduro, the US announced a $25 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello and a $15 million reward for Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez. The Treasury accused them of playing a role in “repression and human rights abuses.”

Maduro is a charming gentleman.

These attacks against him are disgusting and Jewish.

Of course the Jews will say he is “far left,” because he is a communist, but remember that the Jews also told you to kill “far right” Adolf Hitler because he was a fascist. Right now, they are calling Russia and China “far right.”

They will say anything to you to get you on-board with their wars.

The reality is, whether a leader is far-right or far-left or neither of those things, countries which are not threatening anyone should be left alone.

¡ESTÁN DERROTADOS! 🌎🇻🇪

Previously: South Korea: Chief of Presidential Security Still Blocking Controversial Arrest of President

This saga is already boring.

If Yoon doesn’t do another coup soon, I’m done with his boring ass.

I don’t care if he is an incel, I can’t tolerate being this bored anymore.

Reuters:

The security chief of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, under investigation for blocking Yoon’s arrest, resigned on Friday and said any further efforts to detain the ex-leader must avoid bloodshed.

Yoon’s short-lived declaration of martial law on Dec. 3 has plunged one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies into a period of unprecedented political turbulence.

As a top Court deliberates over lawmakers’ decision to impeach Yoon, who is holed up at his hillside residence, anti-graft officers have also opened a criminal investigation for possible insurrection.

Those officers were last week stopped from bringing Yoon in for questioning in a six-hour standoff with the Presidential Security Service (PPS), headed by Park Chong-jun.

Investigators have a warrant for Yoon’s arrest and have said they are determined to detain him for questioning.

Park, a former senior police official, was questioned by police on Friday over his role in last week’s standoff and his office announced he had submitted his resignation.

As he arrived at the police headquarters in downtown Seoul, he told reporters that the current attempt to arrest a sitting president was wrong and that “there should not be any physical clash or bloodshed under any circumstances.”

Acting President Choi Sang-mok, just two weeks in office and thrust into a political cauldron, on Friday called for a fresh way to resolve the stalemate between investigators and Yoon’s security.

He proposed parliament prepare a bill to appoint a special prosecutor. Earlier, Choi had vetoed an opposition-backed special prosecutor bill to probe the martial law declaration, saying it had no guarantee an independent person would be appointed to lead the probe.

Yoon still has a lot of supporters.

Why he didn’t tell those supporters to get out in the streets and fight his enemies after he declared martial law, I have no idea and no one has any idea.

He choked, and chokers are always losers.

Nothing is stopping him from doing another coup attempt, and no one can explain why he doesn’t just do that.

What do they mean by these protests?

Who are they demanding do what to who?

Do they want the cops to arrest the FPO members? Or what? What is the meaning of the protest? When you protest, you are asking for something, no? What are they asking for?

Reuters:

Talks to form a coalition government led by Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPO) will begin on Friday, the party said on Thursday, as thousands protested in Vienna against the prospect of the country’s first FPO-led government.

The eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO won September’s parliamentary election with around 29% of the vote but was initially sidelined as centrist parties tried to form a ruling coalition without it. That effort failed at the weekend, and FPO leader Herbert Kickl was tasked with forming a government.

“First step: negotiations on the budget as of tomorrow,” Kickl said in a statement on Thursday evening while protesters carrying placards reading “Nazis out” and “History is repeating itself” gathered in the square that stands between the offices of the president and the chancellor.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the conservative People’s Party (OVP), who had led the centrist coalition talks, said on Saturday he was stepping down because they had collapsed. His successor as head of the caretaker government, Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg, is due to take over on Friday.

Various non-governmental organisations that deal with human rights, refugees and the environment called Thursday’s protest, Thursday being the day for demonstrations when the FPO was in power as a junior coalition partner – its only experience of government – most recently with the OVP in 2019.

“Our republic is at a crossroads,” the organisers said in a statement. “The threat of an extreme right-wing chancellor looms and with him an attack on democracy, human rights, judiciary, independent media and social cohesion in our country.”

More than 10,000 protesters packed tightly together on the square and streets leading into it whistled, jeered and shone their phone lights towards the chancellor’s office, chanting “Kickl out” in a peaceful atmosphere.

The OVP, which under Nehammer said it would not govern with Kickl, calling him a conspiracy theorist and a security threat, now says under interim leader Christian Stocker that it prefers to reach a coalition deal with Kickl to holding a snap election.

…

Support for the FPO has only increased since September, polls show, and the party now has a lead of more than 10 percentage points over the OVP.

It’s so exhausting to live in a country with empowered women.

It just never ends with these whores.

There’s nothing anyone can do to stop them.

Why do they want their guns?

Are they planning to do something to them?

Remix:

Authorities in Germany have begun withdrawing gun ownership licenses from Alternative for Germany (AfD) members, who are deemed a “danger to public safety.”

So far, five AfD members have received a notice that their gun license would be revoked, while another member voluntarily returned his license after a revocation procedure was initiated. Another 51 cases are currently being examined by authorities, according to data released by the Saxony-Anhalt Interior Ministry in response to a request for information from the Left Party.

Hunters and sport shooters will also have their gun licenses canceled by authorities. In total, there are 74 members of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt that hold a firearms license, with 49 registered as sport shooters and 25 as hunters.

The revocation of gun licenses comes after the Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s powerful domestic intelligence agency, classified the AfD as “certainly right-wing extremist.” With this designation, AfD members suddenly faced a litany of problems. For one, authorities could spy on their communications without any warrant; however, authorities could also seize their firearms, and members could also face issues with government employment.

The efforts to disarm AfD members won praise from the Left Party’s parliamentary group leader Eva von Angern.

“The first revocation notices show that, after individual examination, these people pose a threat to public safety,” she said to German news outlet Mitteldeutsche Zeitung.

As Remix News has reported in the past, the BfV has also been active designating the AfD as an extremist threat in other states such as North Rhine-Westphalia, where gun owners are also under threat of having their firearms taken away from them.

Most popular political party in the country, by the way.

If it’s a terrorist group, then I think democracy has failed.

This is the state where Magdeburg is
