"Not Dark Yet" (opens in separate window)

the end of everything

friday, may 31st, 2024

After a recent summit between new partners China and Russia, General Secretary Xi Jinping and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin issued an odd one-sentence communique: “There can be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be fought.”

[FULL TITLE: "Loose Talk About the End of Everything".]

Listen to Ezekiel 38 King James Version (KJV), here.

No one would disagree, even though several officials of both hypocritical governments have previously threatened their neighbors with nuclear attacks.

If the past is any guide to the present, we should take heed that what almost never happens in war, can certainly still occur.

But still, why did the two feel the need to issue such a terse statement—and why now?

Rarely has the global rhetoric of mass annihilation reached such a crescendo as the present, as existential wars rage in Ukraine and Gaza.

In particular, Putin at least believes that he is finally winning the Ukraine conflict. Xi seems to assume that conventional ascendant Chinese military power in the South China Sea has finally made the absorption of Taiwan practicable.

They both believe that the only impediment to their victories would be an intervention from the U.S. and the NATO alliance, a conflict that could descend into mutual threats to resort to nuclear weapons.

Thus the recent warnings of Xi and Putin.

Almost monthly, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un continues his weary threats to use his nuclear arsenal to destroy South Korea or Japan.

A similarly monotonous, pro-Hamas Turkish president, Recep Erdogan, regularly threatens Armenians with crazy talk of repeating the “mission of our grandfathers.” And he occasionally warns Israelis and Greeks that they may one day wake up to Turkish missiles raining down upon their cities.

More concretely, for the first time in history, Iran attacked the homeland of Israel. It launched the largest wartime array of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones in modern history—over 320 projectiles.

Iran’s theocrats simultaneously claim they are about ready to produce nuclear weapons. And, of course, since 1979, Iran has periodically promised to wipe Israel off the map and half the world’s Jews with it.

Most ignore these crazy threats and write them off as the braggadocio of dictators. But as we saw on October 7, the barbarity of human nature has not changed much from the premodern world, whether defined by savage beheading, mutilations, murdering, mass rape, torture, and hostage taking of Israeli elderly, women, and children.

But what has radically transformed are the delivery systems of mass death—nuclear weapons, chemical gases, biological agents, and artificial-intelligence-driven delivery systems.

Oddly, the global reaction to the promise of Armageddon remains one of nonchalance. Most feel that such strongmen rant wildly but would never unleash weapons of civilizational destruction.

Consider that there are as many autocratic nuclear nations (e.g., Russia, China, Pakistan, North Korea, and perhaps Iran) as democratic ones (U.S., Britain, France, Israel, and India). Only Israel has an effective anti-ballistic missile dome. And the more the conventional power of the West declines, the more in extremis it will have to rely on a nuclear deterrent—at a time when it has no effective missile defense of its homelands.

In a just-released book, The End of Everything, I wrote about four examples of annihilation -- the classical city-state of Thebes, ancient Carthage, Byzantine Constantinople and Aztec Tenochtitlán -- in which the unimaginable became all too real.

In all these erasures, the targeted, naïve states believed that their illustrious pasts, rather than a realistic appraisal of their present inadequate defenses, would ensure their survival.

All hoped that their allies—the Spartans, the anti-Roman Macedonians, the Christian nations of Western Europe, and the subject cities of the Aztecs—would appear at the eleventh hour to stave off their defeat.

Additionally, these targeted states had little understanding of the agendas and capabilities of the brilliantly methodic killers outside their walls -- the ruthless wannabe philosopher Alexander the Great, the literary patron Scipio Aemilianus, the self-described intellectual Mehmet II, and the widely read Hernán Cortés -- who all sought to destroy utterly rather than merely defeat their enemies.

These doomed cities and nations were reduced to rubble or absorbed by the conquerors. Their populations were wiped out or enslaved, and their once-hallowed cultures, customs, and traditions lost to history. The last words of the conquered were usually variations of, “It can’t happen here.”

If the past is any guide to the present, we should take heed that what almost never happens in war can certainly still occur.

When killers issue wild, even lunatic, threats, we should nonetheless take them seriously.

We should not count on friends or neutrals to save our civilization. Instead, Americans should build defense systems over the skies of our homeland, secure our borders, ensure our military operates on meritocracy, cease wild deficit spending and borrowing, and rebuild both our conventional and nuclear forces.

Otherwise, we will naively—and fatally—believe that we are magically exempt when the inconceivable becomes all too real.

A Day In The Life.

Up at 6a on Friday, I went thru my BS finger stick routine to check my BSL (Blood Sugar Level) and recorded it on my Diabetes 2 chart, made coffee, took two 50mg Tramadol and a 300mg Gabapentin for Sciatica pain, fired-up the Win-7 Pentium HP desktop to let 32 million lines of code load, had a couple smokes in the cool garage and checked the day's to-do list.

It was already a warm 64° outside, I had some wonderful Kona "Farm Hand" Coffee, then scanned the news and weather sites, and tuned into the "Chris Stigall Show LIVE" (CS Show) from 6-9a, then the "Chris Plante Show LIVE" (CP Show) 9-12noon, and finally to the Rob Carson Show LIVE (RC Show) 12-3p.

I put out my small American Flag -- which Dad had used at his condo in his last years -- on my front tree's circular bed. Only one neighbor had a flag out, too.

I scanned headlines on FNC: As I watched some of the Trump campaign's Bronx rally yesterday, I was surprised and pleased to hear that there were 25,000+ there. It won't make a dent in that leftist/liberal hellhole, but it's a start. Looks like Boston has its own fat, stupid, ugly, loudmouth, racist, hate-Whitey, smelly, pork-eating muzzie(SPIT!), piece-of-shit, nigress/nigrette filth, islamic supremacist (who want us all dead) sweathog skank bitch -- like we have in the US Congress with the pig-humping "squad" of radical leftist filth and muzzie trash -- and as soon as we let 2 of those subhumans get together, they want to kill all Christians and Jews, and take over the place. DIDN'T WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM 9-11? Apparently not. The enemy's not only inside the gates, but is slowly taking over the government!

And Hitlery Rotten Klintoon has a new excuse why she lost to Trump in the 2016 GE. Natch.

I had a couple errands to run, Sis stopped by for a short visit and to p/u a Red Oriental Poppy that I'd gotten for her, and later, Sherry came by for a couple hours and we planned out a day for next week, after the Memorial Day Holiday. I had dinner, watched several sub-series of "Gold Rush" and unplugged around midnight.

Up at 6a on Saturday, a warm 63°, partly sunny, humid morning, with t-storms on the way for the afternoon. I made coffee and while having a mug and a smoke in the now-open garage, fed the squirrels, as the bluejays and crows were also raiding the pile of peanuts. Heh. Not even a slight breeze; it's going to be stifling hot today. I scanned the news headlines on the usual sites, and watched some movies I had saved on YT, while enjoying Apple Fritters and Kona Coffee. T-storms rolled thru north of the area, but missed us. I made a Chicken Salad Sandwich on Toast, w/ Chips, and had a nice 2hr nap during a storm.

Dusk came early, with the heavy overcast and storm fronts moving thru the area. Sherry called and we'll get together tomorrow, after the F1 and IndyCar races are over. I had half of a 12" Ham & Swiss sub, watched the news and some weird show called "Caught!", with homemade filmed stunts, blunders, copy-cat crap, accidents, stupid tricks etc. Truly cringe worthy, but like an accident slowing everyone down to look at it. By 11p, I was nodding-off, and quit for the night.

Up at 6:30a on Sunday, a much-too-warm-this-early 70°, mostly sunny morning. I made coffee, had a few smokes, opened the garage to get some fresh air, The F1 Monaco (slow, boring race IMO) Grand Prix comes on at 9a, on F1-TV, so I'll watch that for a while, get the morning shave/shower, and catch the IndyCar Indy 500 race, later. That done, I had a late breakfast and watched some midday news, before Sherry arrived at 1p. And she did. We had some very nice time together, as usual, and I hate to see her leave. But with traffic building, and severe storms (forecast) on the way, she did. I watched the news, the TRASH-CAR race for 5-6 mins, and finally Motor Trend's "Fantom Works" series, until midnight.

Thank You, All Veterans.

Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. (H/T ppc)

Up at 6a on Monday, Memorial Day, another Summer-like, warm 71°, humid from last night's t-storms, mostly sunny, forecast to be around 82°, and more severe t-storms -- heavy rain, flooding, hail and a possible tornado(!) -- this afternoon. While sitting in the open garage for some fresh air, the local birds were very vocal, but numbered less than a 'usual' morning, I noticed. I scanned the news headlines, after getting the desktop fired-up: another wonderful holiday weekend in Chi-Congo. The animals in that zoo are amazing. Ahhhhh, those Chicago Values are something else.

I did some condo chores, started a load of laundry, leftover from yesterday, as the sky turned ugly from the approaching violent t-storm front and had a 6" Ham & Cheese Sub for lunch.. After the laundry, I hit the LR couch for 3hrs. The severe t-storms went southeast of us, thru Baltimore and DC. But nearby Lancaster County got a recurring ***TORNADO WARNING***, but fortunately, no actual damage other than from rotating, high winds.

After some light dinner, I watched the usual FNC and NEWSMAX news shows, and Fox' “M*A*S*H: The Comedy That Changed Television” 3hr documentary. M*A*S*H* was my favorite show for years. This 50th year show was great. By 11:30, I was fading, and unplugged for the night.

Up at 5:45a, before the 6a alarm, on Tuesday, I made coffee, fired-up the desktop, had a smoke in the garage and tuned into the "CS Show LIVE". It was a warm, but cooler than yesterday after the cold front went thru last night, 64° and noticeably less humidity. JoAnne, my cleaning lady, will be in at 8:30. I scanned the news headlines, and will get into the articles, later this morning, since there's nothing pressing, except this aliens in Nevada article. Heh. After breakfast, I got ready for the day, and JoAnne.

I hope you had a happy Memorial Day weekend, and a solemn and respectful Memorial Day. I did. They sure "did", in the leftist hellhole of Chi-Congo, as usual.

JoAnne finisher cleaning at 11:15a, and I left at just after 12noon, for 3 errands in Southern York County. Traffic was OK, but heavy on the return trip, and was home by 2. After six large 4-Cheese Ravioli for ;punch, I tuned into the "RC Show LIVE" until 3, switched to the news, and then over to some "CP Podcasts" and hit the LR couch for a short snooze. I heard thunder and rain, and then clearing as a cold front passed. Temps dropped and so did humidity. I skipped dinner, caught the news, and watched Motor Trend's "Full Custom Garage" until 11:30p. Lights out.

Up at 7:30a on Wednesday, to a very sunny, blue sky, cool 60°, low humidity morning, with t-storms forecast for the afternoon. I got the coffee underway, fired-up the desktop, had a couple smokes in the garage, opened the overhear door to get some fresh air and hear the birds, and tuned into the "CS Show LIVE", or what was left of it, by 8a. I scanned the weather and news headlines, and read that the Dallas area got hammered again, by storms, flooding and tornadoes. Hopefully, Ben & Jo are safe.

I had a small lunch, Sherry arrived at 1p, and we set out for J-Mar Farms in South York, on the SW corner of Apple Hill Medical Center's complex, and got some nice fruit. On the way back to East York, we stopped at FIVE GUYS BURGERS & FRIES and picked-up some lunches. And then to Flinchbaugh's Orchard & Farm Market, for some more goodies. Upon getting back to my condo, the rain started and skies got nasty from the west, moving this way. Sherry and I had hugs and kisses, and she left for home. I had a bit of dinner, watched the news, and tuned into History's "American Pickers", and Discovery's "Ghost Adventures" and "Full Custom Garage" until 1:30a.

Up at 6:15a on Thursday, to a cool, clear sky, 55° morning, I made coffee, had a smoke in the open door cool garage, and fired-up the HP desktop to get the morning's news and "CS Show LIVE". I switched over to the "CP Show LIVE" at 9, had breakfast, and got ready for my 11a haircut. Meanwhile, the local mulch-blowing company, was mulching all 40 units with their exclusive, in-this-area, truck-mounted 6"dia blower. I left at 10:30 for my app't.

As soon as I hit I83 south, the Jeep's Tire Pressure Mgmt System screen flashed on the dash, to tell me that I had a leak (screw in the tread) in the R/F Pirelli tire, now down to 28psi, instead of 45psi. I got the haircut, and drove to my cousin's daughter's/husband's auto shop, and got it patched. Two hours later, I was on my way home at 1p. Sucked to be me. After a FIVE GUYS Burger & Fries and a pint of Háagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream, for lunch, I put the small, portable (tire) charger on recharge, and hit the LR couch for a 2½hr snooze.

When I woke, I heard the news while scanning FNC, which really didn't surprise me: "Trump guilty on 34 charges". As expected, sadly for this country and our seriously-crumbling legal system. The leftist media networks were having non-stop, on-air orgasms all afternoon and evening. I watched some analysis and commentary shows for a while, but switched to Discovery's "Full Custom Garage" and "Bitchin' Rides" until 11:30, and bagged it for the night.

Tomorrow starts a new week here in the "Journal" and I have an afternoon therapeutic massage, tomorrow, to help the R/S Sciatica Nerve pain, and a clear week, so far, next week.

Tyranny by Any Other Name Still Stinks.

Tyranny takes hold when good people are lulled into inaction.  Those of us who mind our own business and prefer government to leave us alone are particularly prone to falling into this trap.  Because we have no use for government, we hope government will have no use for us.  So we are silent while evil grows far from our homes.  We tend to our basic comforts and ignore evil as it nears.  And, eventually, we even collaborate with evil in order to avoid making a public scene.  In an effort to “get by” without causing too many waves, tyranny’s waves grow bigger and stronger until they crash upon our homes.  By then, it is too late to batten down the hatches.  Evil has already broken through our doors.

I had hoped that we would have more time.  That must be the common sentiment shared by every generation grappling with what comes next.  I had hoped that the sheer destruction of the twentieth century would be enough to buy us many more decades of relative peace.  Regrettably, two world wars and a nuclear-tipped Cold War did nothing to temper governments’ lust for power or their financial backers’ lust for wealth.  WWI’s clash of empires should have discouraged the growth of trigger-happy alliances and endless conquest.  The evil unleashed by WWII’s totalitarian regimes should have discouraged the growth of centralized institutions and vast, unaccountable, “just following orders” bureaucracies.  Instead, military alliances, central banks, international governing bodies, administrative Leviathans, and trade organizations have accumulated more power today than at any other time in history.  The twenty-first century is the century of empire-building and totalitarianism, and unless ordinary people rein in the excesses of their own governments, the mass destruction that follows will make the first two world wars look like measly hors d’oeuvres.

Can it be done?  Can global bloodshed be averted?  Can Western nations be saved before they devolve into hotbeds of revolution and civil war?  Or do the mounting conflicts all around us signify that we are already too late?  The answers to those questions depend, in part, on whether regular citizens sufficiently resist being used as cannon fodder in the years ahead and whether global leaders sufficiently fear losing everything they now have.  Had the great monarchies of Europe understood that WWI would facilitate their demise, perhaps they would have been more hesitant to allow a tangled web of military alliances to decide their fate.  Chasing honor and glory led European nobles straight to their graves.  Had Mussolini, Hitler, and Tojo known that they would die shamefully, perhaps their thirst for empire could have been quenched.  Lord Acton’s famous observation deserves a corollary: those who seek absolute power must be destroyed absolutely.

One of the peculiarities of our own time is that so many people remain blind to the totalitarianism growing and spreading around them.  Western governments have seized the authority to tell us what is true and what must be censored as harmful “disinformation.”  They openly spy on our phone calls, read our emails, record every Internet search and keyboard click on our computers, and monitor our social media conversations.  They tell us which “politically correct” words we must use and which words are outlawed for inciting “hate.”  They have criminalized reading from parts of the Bible or acting with religious conviction.  They insist on manipulating the value of money and rigging markets in ways that confiscate the meager savings of the have-nots and further enrich the well-to-do.  Corporations and government ministers work together to spread the same propaganda.  Mainstream news media operate as compliant mouthpieces for the State.  Banks discriminate against customers due to their personal beliefs.  Companies fire employees for not being sufficiently “woke.”  Prosecutors contort statutes into weapons that can be used to punish innocent people for their political speech. Westerners have no need to learn about the rise of totalitarianism from dusty history books describing the decades between WWI and WWII.  It thrives right outside our windows.  Hell, it operates on every piece of technology with a camera or microphone already inside our homes.

Totalitarianism has triumphed under the guise of “progress.”  Behind every shiny new toy’s discreet surveillance of our private lives is a steroid-induced, rage-filled strongman working not-so-secretly to enslave us.  Would you like to safeguard your most intimate photographs?  All you have to do is upload them to a magical cloud.  The corporations entrusted with your valuable secrets promise to respect your privacy.  Would you like your automobile to provide real-time traffic alerts?  Then just tap, “yes,” when the geolocation satellite system seeks to track your movements.  Would you prefer the ease of buying convenience store items with a wave of your hand?  Then please allow your Obamacare government doctor to insert a computer chip under your skin, so that the Federal Reserve can track how you use its central bank digital currency.  Technological convenience is the gateway drug to universal surveillance.  And universal surveillance is an iron fist in a velvet glove demanding compliance.

Western governments learned nothing from global war, famine, economic depression, or State-sponsored genocide except how to hide their worst impulses inside the glittery wrappers of Orwellian language.  How many times have we heard unaccountable functionaries from the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements, or the World Health Organization claim to be acting on the public’s behalf?  Yet regular people have no control over these immensely powerful organizations.  The UN, BIS, and WHO are elitist institutions that cater to other elites.  There is no way for an average Joe or Jane to influence their policy decisions, even when those decisions regulate the most personal details of an individual’s life.  There is nothing remotely “democratic” or “representative” about self-described “experts” using their powers to coerce ordinary people into submission. 

How many times have we heard U.S. State Department officials, Canadian politicians, U.K. prime ministers, NATO strategists, or European Union talking heads lecture citizens about the need for Western “democracies” to fight “authoritarian” regimes?  Yet Western governments were every bit as authoritarian during the “Reign of COVID Terror” as the authoritarian States that they denounce.  Communist China implemented the most draconian COVID lockdowns in the world — incarcerating entire cities with scarce supplies of food and “disappearing” those who dared to resist — and Western governments not only applauded China’s brutal despotism but also attempted to replicate its evil machinery throughout the West.  Even more perplexing, the same Western “democracies” that routinely demonize Russia as an authoritarian boogeyman that must be destroyed nevertheless enrich communist China with lucrative trade deals and shower Chinese tyrants with obsequious displays of respect.  Could it be that Western leaders are perfectly happy with authoritarianism so long as they are the authorities making money and maintaining total political control?  Their hypocritical actions speak for themselves.

Communism, fascism, Nazism, Maoism, socialism — it doesn’t matter what it’s called.  To butcher Shakespeare’s JulietTyranny by any other name still stinks.  All forms of collectivism are inherently totalitarian.  They are unsustainable without violence and eventually survive on force alone.  So-called “anti-fascists” are the most fascist street thugs operating today; they use billionaire donations to fund domestic terrorism that is meant to intimidate civilians into complying with the wishes of wealthy elites who already control the levers of government.  If Antifa members were really anti-fascist, they would beat up themselves.

The prudent way to understand our volatile times is to recognize them as the opening battles in an incipient war between government totalitarians and staunch defenders of human liberty.  What is globalism, after all, if not a system for maximizing the coercive power of a small number of international elites while denying citizens inalienable rights and freedoms?  Everything else is a calculated distraction.

What If Biden Wins in November? Pt 2.

What will happen in America if Joe Biden wins a second term in office beginning this November?  In my previous article, I forecast the general trend of the country short-term, i.e., over the next four years.  That’s not really difficult; all one must do is look at Biden’s first term.  He isn’t going to change.  A victory in November will only inspire him to perhaps even accelerate the metamorphosis of America that he and the Democrats seem so determined to accomplish.  Economically, morally, in foreign affairs—there is no sunshine on the horizon for the United States if Biden is victorious this year, especially if America gives him one or both houses of Congress.

But what will the long-term consequences be?  This is obviously more problematic to predict, but I will try to use my powers as a historian to reach some conclusions.  Fortunately, I will probably be dead before most of the below happens, so I won’t be hearing anyone laugh at me if I’m wrong.

The first thing that will happen—provided the country survives to another Presidential election—is that the Republican faithful will again be hoping that 2028 will be their year.  We can’t nominate Donald Trump again.  Ron DeSantis will likely be the Republican nominee for President.  His chances for victory will depend, not on the continued incompetence of Biden (if he makes it four more years, of Kamala Harris if he doesn’t) or even the persistent decline of the country.  DeSantis’s chances will rest on how successful Democrats are in making voters of the countless millions of illegals they’ve allowed into the country.  Turning even a few of the red states blue will doom the Republicans in national elections, maybe forever.  That’s the Democrats’ plan, of course.  The Republicans’ hopes for the Presidency in 2028 depend upon winning in 2024.

At some point, and I have no idea when this will be, but even some of us old-timers might live to see it, decent Americans will finally get fed up and decide to secede from the garbage country created by the Democrats—IF there are enough “decent Americans” left.  Reader, how old are you?  I’m almost 70.  I don’t have too many more years left in this veil of tears.  What’s going to happen when we, the old-guard, the America-First patriots die off?  Are there enough young Americans who haven’t been brainwashed by Leftist, communist propaganda to save the country?  That has long been my major worry for the country, and I’m not optimistic.  Just look at who millennials usually vote for now.

IF enough patriots remain, then a secession event is possible.  It won’t happen if Biden wins this year, or probably even after 2028, but—given enough God-fearing Americans left in the country—it could happen within the next 20 to 30 years.  These movements take time to build, and there is little to no discussion currently of it happening.  It will be interesting to see if any serious secession talk starts slowly arising (a “national divorce”) in the next four years (if Biden wins this year).  Interestingly, MTG and Vivek have both mentioned it in the past two years, but nobody is there yet.

Secession would lead to another “civil war,” probably lining up similarly to the last one, mostly northern states versus southern states, with the western states choosing sides based on perceived benefits.  The Deep State cannot allow secession, because those who seceded would be the people who work hard and pay most of the taxes; where would the feds get their revenue?  The Democrats would be left with the flotsam and jetsam of society, and they live off the government, they don’t pay taxes.  So, a war would be inevitable because the Leftist government would need our money.  It would be a bloody war because the Left is full of hate towards any who refuse to submit to them, and would have no compunction about killing however many necessary for victory.  (Reference Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other Leftists of the past 100 years.)  Ruthlessness might carry the day.

If decent Americans do decide to hang in and try to save the country via democratic processes, and no secession movement or internecine war emerges, a 2024 Biden victory would still make the salvation of traditional America less probable.  Biden will bring in countless more illegals, and the country would be further Balkanized.  This would require an even stronger government to hold the nation together—the totalitarian government the Democrats dream about now. What I actually expect to happen, though I don’t think I’ll live to see it, is a massive North American union monstrosity. 

The Left will start harping on how the United States “stole” land from Mexico and should give it back.  So, there will be a union between America and Mexico, and the Central American countries will be invited to join.  Spanish will become America’s official language, as Biden recently said.  Canada will probably accede to the inevitable and join as well.

This “North American Union” is, frankly, what I expect to eventually happen.  Our cities, and in one sense, our country will remain.  The Roman Empire fell, but Rome persists, though only as a shell of its former greatness, of course.  The British Empire no longer exists, either, but England lingers as a third-rate power—barely, and perhaps not for long, at least not in any traditional, historically-recognizable form because mass immigration is destroying the UK, too.  Washington, D.C. or perhaps Mexico City would be the seat of a North American government, but would rule the world’s largest banana republic.  A lot of people are going to die as this banana republic progresses, and not from natural causes.  

I’m not a prophet, of course, but those are the trends I see.  One thing I’m sure of, though, is nothing good for America can come from a Biden victory in November.

An Attack on America Is Coming Thanks to Biden’s Negligence.

You may have missed the news, but last week an Army colonel – nice to see an Army colonel doing something besides sharing xis pronouns – at Fort Bragg, which communists now call “Fort Liberty,” caught a Chechen illegal alien lurking in his backyard taking pictures of his kids and smoked him like a fatty at a Cypress Hill concert. This colonel might have been from Delta Force, but he is definitely part of the special operations community, and you might well be wondering what some Chechen illegal alien was doing in his backyard. In fact, there were two of them – the other one got away, but he got caught, and then the FBI let him go because it’s the FBI and the illegal alien wasn’t in a church somewhere worshiping God or talking bad about abortion. This is not the only such incident. There’s been a lot of this sort of stuff going on. This just goes to tell you something very important. What is that?

My latest book, The Attack, is not just a novel about a terrorist attack on America. It’s a chilling preview of the future. Here’s the deal – we have a wide-open border and a bunch of enemies, and the enemies, not being anywhere near as stupid as the Biden administration is, are taking full advantage of it. If you deny that thousands upon thousands of enemy operatives have infiltrated the United States among the hordes of military-age males who are streaming across the wide-open border, you are either stupid or you think we are stupid.

These Chechens were allegedly working for a utility company. The utility company is not answering its phone. It’s also owned by a Moldovan. Moldova was, of course, part of the Soviet Union. So was what’s left of Chechnya. It’s reasonable to believe that the Russian government is infiltrating operatives into the United States to observe and potentially assault our special operations community. This isn’t the first time we’ve had something like this happen. Recently, a Russian was caught taking photographs of sensitive stuff. It’s unclear what happened to him. We know that just the other week, a bunch of Muslim illegal aliens tried to sneak into the Quantico Marine Corps base. I’m sure these people were just trying to help out their newly adopted country. I also have a unicorn whose name is Chet.

The Attack talks about this phenomenon in novel form. Thousands of enemy operatives infiltrate the country and launch a devastating attack that kills tens of thousands of Americans. The idea that this can’t happen is nonsense. To think that is a failure of imagination. It’s just like we failed imagine what our enemies would do on 9/11. Except for a few novels, no one thought that a bunch of bad guys would hijack a bunch of airliners and fly them into giant buildings. But they did. And there, the FBI also knew the dad guys were in country and utterly failed to protect us. Recommended

The enemy is serious, unlike this administration. The enemy will do things whether we think of and anticipate them or not. That’s what’s exactly what is happening now. We are being observed and tested, and our enemies are preparing attacks. The strikes will come at the most vulnerable time for us, no doubt while this desiccated pervert is still in the White House pretending that our big threat is “white nationalism.”

It wasn’t “white nationalism” that flew planes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center. It was not “white nationalists” who went on a butcher spree in Israel. It is not what is threatening our people today.

It is not what is going to invade Taiwan – yes, China is going to invade Taiwan. Why? Because it can. Our weakness is an engraved invitation to out enemies.

But it’s worse than just weakness. Joe Biden and his puppet-masters are so deeply anti-American and so deeply incompetent that they create a perfect storm of failure so remarkable that Jimmy Carter is holding off dying to remain alive just long enough to see himself lose his ranking as the worst president of the last century.

It’s not just jihadis. The Russians have been infiltrating us for the last century, first as the Soviet Union and now as the Russian Russians. How many Chinese agents are here? One, two, 100, 1000, 10,000? It’s probably more than 10,000. They’re all here, and they’re preparing, and our failed government is pretending that there’s nothing going on, that everything is fine. What are the chances that Joe Biden is going to order the FBI to stop hassling people for praying in church and opposing abortion or wandering through the People’s House, which apparently doesn’t belong to the People anymore, and focus on the enemy aliens who the administration let into the country? He’s never going to do that. He doesn’t want to admit the failure of his border policy -- actually, it’s a success since he wants to import millions of Third World peasants to vote Democrat and replace normal Americans as voters. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s made us vulnerable and that he is setting us up for a failure that makes his disasters in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel, and Niger look like tiny Stelters -- I mean small potatoes.

And at some level, the Biden crew sides with our enemies. He and his clique hate America and Americans. There’s no other explanation for this conduct – if they hated America and Americans, what would they do differently?

It’s remarkable that, after this colonel shot this guy for attacking him in his yard, they caught the other one and just let him go. He should’ve disappeared into the bowels of a proper deep state and been “encouraged” to spill his guts about exactly what’s going on. But no, they let him go. Remember, he’s an illegal alien. He shouldn’t be here in the first place, much less wandering around after scouting out our special forces guys for kidnapping, assassination, or whatever else the enemy has in mind. But he’s free. He’s walking our streets. He’s not afraid, and why should he be? It’s not like he got caught praying outside an abortion mill.

Joe Biden is going to get tens of thousands of Americans killed. You may think that’s a crazy thing to say. You would have once thought someone telling you that we’d watch human beings falling off of C-17s as America fled from Afghanistan and the primitive tribesmen who drove our broken military out was crazy. No, it’s coming. It’s going to happen. There are no two ways about it. And you better be ready.

Buy guns and ammunition. Carry legally. Have a bag in the back of your car with a tourniquet, bandages, and blood clotting stuff, and know how to use them. It will go down, just like I wrote about in The Attack. I don’t want it to be true. I don’t want it to happen. I don’t want to be right. But I am. You better be ready, or you and your family may die.

Get out there and vote to elect Donald Trump and the Republicans in 2024. Just pray it isn’t too late.
