RAND pushing US/Western escalation against Moscow for a very long time. In 2019 it published report on “Extending Russia”. Many of its recommendations subsequently came to pass. Three years earlier, an investigation of US/China war also made a subsequently fulfilled suggestion: pic.twitter.com/lxHde0fupH

RAND is a highly influential body, which informs – and reflects – elite thinking and imperial policy. This report particularly significant given numerous US officials have similarly expressed doubts about Washington keeping this grinding on. We shall see…

The hits keep coming. The “significance” of “international norms” and Ukraine’s economy are “debatable”, therefore Washington shouldn’t give a shit about either, or indeed Ukraine reclaiming territory. I hope every US ally studies this report, and takes lessons from it. pic.twitter.com/KbADCWOeqz

You people don’t read the think tanks. I read the think tanks. Then I look like some kind of wizard explaining events. But basically, the news media is completely useless. It literally serves no purpose other than to spread disinformation. Meanwhile, in their arduous language, the think tanks give all the details of the agenda clearly.

Here’s the deal: everyone understands that Russia is only a power capable of competing with the US because it is backed by a much larger and much wealthier country called “China.” Russia needs their economy to survive. India wouldn’t be standing up to the US, nor would Saudi or any of the other former allies pushing back, if they weren’t getting cover from China.

The think tanks were all pushing for China to be the target of the next US war,

However, Pentagon people said Russia is much weaker, so they went with that. Now it’s a boondoggle. The West is destroying its economy, they are alienating the whole world, and they’re accomplishing what exactly? Russia can keep fighting indefinitely. It’s not costing them anything. Maybe there is some war wariness, but that really gets wiped out by just how disgusting and brutal the Hohols are. If Russians start to get sick of the war, Solovyov gets up and does a segment on the latest video of the Hohols torturing and murdering POWs, and you’ve got another week of hardcore support for the boys fighting these satanic monsters.

The way Wanger is now running the war, it’s just not costing very much.

But the US can’t possibly surrender at this point. They just have to keep going and going. We’re a year in and as a statistic rule, if a war between two countries that border each other lasts more than a year it then lasts more than 5 years.

Who is going to lose more in that 5 year period?

The US can’t possibly open up the China front while the Ukraine is ongoing, and time is on China’s side over there.

This is why RAND is mad.

RT:

While both Moscow and Kiev think they will benefit from continued fighting, such a turn of events does not serve Washington’s best interests, the Pentagon’s think tank RAND Corporation argues in a new report published on Friday.

Authored by Samuel Charap and Miranda Priebe, “Avoiding a Long War” accepts the prevailing premises about the conflict, but notes that US interests “often align with but are not synonymous with Ukrainian interests.”

According to the authors, the conflict has already inflicted significant economic, military and reputational damage on Russia, so its “further incremental weakening is arguably no longer as significant a benefit for US interests.”

This is them saying “just call it a win and get out.”

Eventually, it is going to have to come to some point where both sides are able to declare victory. So why not work to figure out a way to end it and save as much face as possible?

The price to the West has not been insignificant either, from the disruption to energy, food and fertilizer markets to the cost of “keeping the Ukrainian state economically solvent,” which will only “multiply over time.”

NATO’s military aid to Ukraine “could also become unsustainable after a certain period,” while Russia may “reverse Ukrainian battlefield gains,” they said. The conflict is “absorbing senior policymakers’ time and US military resources,” distracting Washington from other global priorities, such as China, while pushing Moscow closer to Beijing.

Yeah, that is the whole point of the paper. They are all publishing these papers saying exactly this.

Meanwhile, Brandon has all but promised to send in the Gundams.

“In short, the consequences of a long war – ranging from persistent elevated escalation risks to economic damage – far outweigh the possible benefits.”

The study describes President Vladimir Zelensky’s vision of victory, in which Ukraine would recover all the territories it lays claim to and force Russia to submit to war crimes trials and reparations, as “optimistic” and “improbable.”

So, there you have it. You’ve probably heard of RAND. I’m not going to give a full summary, but you can look it up if you don’t know what it is. This is the real view of the foreign policy sorcerer: the US is losing the war and they are going to keep losing and it is going to destroy their plan to take down China.

Just ignore all of this gibberish you see on CNN and in the NYT. It’s all just fake news, like Iraq WMDs or the Holocaust.

Yes, it’s true everyone thought Russia would do this much quicker. I see people criticize me for saying it was likely to be quick as if this is some huge gotcha, but everyone was saying that including most of Washington. No one expected the West to go all in to this extent, although in hindsight it was kind of obvious based on how much they militarized the country since they did that coup in 2014. Everyone was just thinking “well, the US didn’t lose any significant reputation points when they lost Crimea, so why would they collapse their economy over this?”

Maybe the militarization was just leaving their options open, we thought.

Because as RAND says: there are no real benefits to the West here. It’s just an extremist Jewish hate agenda.

What are they doing, other than wasting money and proving to the world that they are psychos?

Definitely think this plays a role in decision making. https://t.co/1I6N9GVPa2

If I try to put myself in their shoes: I can see how it was worth a shot to try to collapse the Russian economy and then do a color revolution to oust Putin and just win outright. But that didn’t happen and the risk of it happening is past. There is no way they are taking Crimea or the Donbass back at this point, which means Putin isn’t going to be forced out of office.

Escalating it any further gives China an extreme advantage. If they take Taiwan, they’ve officially won Sid Meier’s Civilization. Meanwhile, what these think tanks are saying is so obvious: if you bring down China, Russia and Iran and North Korea and all the others on the enemies list fall immediately.

If you could somehow beat Russia, what happens then? If it takes five years. Where is China gonna be at that point? Where is the Western economy going to be at that point? Frankly, at that point – in 2028 when the US theoretically forces the collapse of the Russian government by taking back the Donbass – China will be in a position to invade Russia from the other side and prop up a nationalist government to put down the Anal Riot Squad.

Be Positive!

RAND saying the US is losing is a very big deal.

Stop letting these various outlets confuse you about what is happening.

Russia is winning because this whole thing is a lot bigger than the shooting war, which is really just a small part of the geopolitical happenings going on.

Russia is the last Christian country.

Russia is Jesus’ Whip.

May the Archangel guide her.

I’m a pretty adept image-finder. Images are a significant part of the Daily Stormer, and always have been. Memes and art and people making funny faces are all a part of the Stormer experience.

I’ve done a lot of making of memes, and I’ve also pioneered some various image arts.

For example, for a while I was big into watching Alex Jones and pausing the video when he was making a funny face. High definition video opened up the possibility to catch some really funny pictures of people, and Alex has one of the most fun and animated faces of anyone.

This image has been used throughout the media for years, and I’m the one who freeze framed it:

Of, I also steal memes from Twitter and 4chan and wherever. I’m pretty big on DeviantArt, frankly.

I go through phases, and there is no definitive image style of the site, other than to keep it interesting. I’m sure there is some expression of my own brain in there, but I’ve never been concerned with keeping a specific style. Some days, I’m just as likely to throw a standard news header image at the top of an article, other days (particularly days when I’m not mad at 4chan), I use a lot of meme images.

I’m also fond of stock photos, and I use the various image search engines. Today, I wanted to find an image of someone looking pensive, and without thinking much about it, I thought “hesitancy” might be a word that stock photo image companies had associated with “thinking face.”

I typed “hesitancy” into Google Images, and found that 100% of the images are about “vaccine hesitancy.”

It’s a term you’ve heard a lot. You would expect Google News to give you 100% coronavirus replies, but Google Images seems to believe that the only use of the word is in connection with people refusing to take the vaccine.

Like the term itself, the images are Orwellian. This forced meme is entirely about creating a global consensus around an issue, while not being allowed to publicly discuss it.

There are multiple images relating to think tank analysis of the minds of people who don’t want the vaccine.

For example, the cover page of a white paper by the Jewish Sabin-Aspen think tank.

The .pdf entitled “Meeting the Challenges of Vaccine Hesitancy,” is 175 pages long and contains the words “conspiracy” or “conspiratorial” 23 times.

The paper openly claims that anyone that is anything more than “hesitant” – i.e., any outright refuser – is some manner of kook.

I have a storied history of reading think tank white papers, which is why I’m considered by many to be very good at predicting events. Obviously, I don’t read 175 page papers everyday, but they all basically follow the same format, and they are easy to skim.

Here is the part that sums up this paper:

Efforts should be made to gather a body of experience from the community of practitioners who have developed innovative ways to help patients, parents, and guardians move from hesitance to acceptance, using communications as well as behavioral approaches derived from social science (sociology, anthropology, and economics) and psychological research. In this nuanced field, context is supremely important.

The Group highlighted the imperative of developing evidence-based approaches to hesitancy in a range of settings, particularly in lower- and middleincome countries where those insights are severely lacking. There was consensus that the primary end objective is to increase vaccination; the means to achieve this outcome include efforts to reinforce the value of vaccination and highlight the fact that it is an overwhelmingly accepted social norm. At the same time, the Group stressed that erroneous social media messages cannot go unchecked and that monitoring and rapid response actions are needed, as is research on communication strategies; educating parents, providers, and children; and addressing value systems to reinforce vaccination norms. These approaches must be multipronged and targeted. Solutions for overcoming hesitancy should include testing and adoption of approaches that address the values, feelings, and emotions of the audience, as well as communication methods and talking points. While many of the issues are context-dependent, the goal should be to identify scalable approaches to implementation.

That is not only a summary of what they are doing with the vaccines, but how they are engineering society as a whole in order to accept a consensus worldview.

The think tank analysis is the context of most of the interesting images on my Google Images search. This has been really, really heavily examined.

They have all of these various continuum diagrams.

Note the implication that the overwhelming majority, they believe, can be convinced. The assumption (clearly) is that the hardline refusers will be small enough of a group to simply shut out of society.

They are also analyzing the minds of people who are “hesitant.”

This is how they work everything.

Our entire society is a gigantic social-engineering machine.

These think tanks all speak openly about manipulating cultural and social norms in order to achieve the desired outcome of compliance with the various agendas.

These people were able to convince a significant number of us that Iraq was going to invade the United States. That was based on research that people are more psychologically malleable after severe trauma.

The psychology of the masses is broken down into individual parts, and their minds are analyzed to see what emotional drives are behind their decision-making processes, and the experts decide how to manipulate those drives. This is then fed into the media, and now, into the censorship machine of the internet.

The coronavirus vaccine is the first real “red line” that they are attempting to draw globally, to force compliance of every person on the planet.

At least, everyone who isn’t a member of the elite.

They are allowed to maintain their “hesitancy.”

All legislation should now be drafted by r/the_Donald, tbh.

It seems that r/the_Donald is going to be the first of our institutions to rise to official prominence. Not surprising, considering that it’s the most normie-friendly.

But the future isn’t far off when /pol/will simply replace congress as a whole, and the Daily Stormer will be the official state media.

Then CNN and the New York Times will be relegated to obscure websites frequented only by perverts and conspiracy theorists, while the SPLC, the ADL and the Senate will be declared terrorist organizations and outlawed.

This is the first step in that process.

Wired:

This past wednesday, a group of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee presented an amendment calling for an investigation into alleged misconduct on the parts of Hillary Clinton and James Comey. It was a way to frustrate Democrats, but, more than that, it provided an opportunity to publicly discuss their very favorite thing: the many bygone misdeeds of Crooked Hillary. The amendment may sound to some readers like it’s been ripped out of a conspiracy forum, because that’s exactly what happened.

“Conspiracy” forum?

Wow, this is an old meme. Why not call r/the_Donald “Forteans” while we’re at it?

I didn’t know the media was still running with the old “conspiracy theorist” meme, where everyone saying things they don’t like is a kooky tinfoil hat wearing lunatic.

I thought the “fake news” meme was meant to replace that.

I guess we kind of took that one away from them though. So maybe they’re trying to go back to accusing us of being conspiracy theorists? What a dumb meme.

As far as I know, r/the_Donald doesn’t talk about aliens or the Illuminati. So this whole think rings hollow.

Sponsored by first-term Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), the amendment itself sought to hijack what began as a resolution from Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) asking for information about Comey’s firing. In response to Jayapal’s proposal, Gaetz and a few fellow Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee effectively replaced the Democrats’ resolution with one of their own. The new amendment (which you can read in its entirety here) asks for an investigation into things like “the propriety and consequence of immunity deals given to possible Hillary Clinton co-conspirators” and “James B. Comey’s refusal to investigate then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding” a number of matters, including many of which may have come directly from r/The_Donald.

Thursday night, three Twitter users discovered that a staffer for one of the resolution’s sponsors attempted to crowdsource a number of the resolution’s salient points from r/The_Donald, a subreddit notorious for playing host to unfounded conspiracy theories and anti-Islam tendencies. In other words, not a conventional source of legislative inspiration.

They should have just called us instead. Our political consulting services are top notch, and forego references to “BASED Black Trump supporters.”

“If the purpose of oversight investigations is to get to the truth,” one longtime legislative staffer explained, “then using baseless conspiracies as your starting point is completely counterproductive to a direct investigation.”

“Baseless conspiracies.”

TOP KEK.

Russian hacking, anyone?

Baseless? Don’t you know this conspiracy theory has mountains of evidence behind it? I-I just forgot it at home…

Basically, the only way they can try to muster outrage over this is by painting r/the_Donald as something other than just a very popular right-wing discussion board.

The only examples of “unfounded conspiracy theories” discussed on the board that WIRED is able to muster are the Seth Rich murder story (which actually got air on mainstream media) and Pizzagate. Both of these, while not 100% certain, are certainly not “unfounded.” They’re both founded on a mountain of evidence – unlike the Russian hacking nonsense.

But in any case, this is good news.

We certainly want Republicans to rely on us for rhetorical talking points. Our memes are powerful and effective, and shift the narrative in our direction, unlike the Republican’s typical tepid rhetoric.

First pointer: start accusing everyone who pushes the “Russia” narrative of being a tinfoil conspiracy theorist. Call the whole idea a “fringe, lunatic left conspiracy theory.”

Like it?

There’s plenty more where that came from.
