Niccolo, I’m concerned about the many psyops happening right now. The GAE has unleashed itself -- there is no coincidence between the Xi Jingping rumours and the skirmishes between the Turkic and non-Turkic Asian states, and the many rumours of Internal Russian discontent, and so on. It’s a full on disinformation war and it’s ultimate goal is to melt the brains of as many people as possible.

Is this a sign that the GAE is afraid or that it’s just getting started? You seem to think the Great Satan is invincible but I’m not so sure.

Too be honest I have been away from the news for about the last two weeks. Been in LA (for the first time ever) and now back “home”.

The general atmosphere does seem downbeat, even though absolutely no politics have been discussed. Maybe it is a coincidence because of personal reasons, but seems a lot of people are on the black-pill diet.

Also Niccolo it is 3:15am here in the only place that matters. Think about time differences when you want to give me a loud phone notification !

I think Van Der Leyen's ultimatum confirms that we need to accept we're currently under the boot of yet another leftoid totalitarian regime.

It's going to be amazing watching these same fraudulent fucks tie themselves into knots as they try to excuse they're undemocratic and tyrannical response as both "democratic and freedom loving" when they don't get the answer from the electors they demand.

Orwell. Solzhenitsyn. Not. Even. Close.

Van der Von Leyden vs Mama Mia brings up my repeal 19;

Get back in the Kitchen.

I’m sure that’s even better in Italian.

Niccolo: It's not surprising other writers are recommending you. Other than RD I'm finding no insightful or objective information about the situation in Europe and Russia. Everything the major outlets publishes is sieved through the filter of one political stance or another. If you don't live in the US you don't realize the entire journalistic community is comically bad. Every time the Ukrainians score some minor, squad level victory, it's played up with heroic adjectives as if its VE Day. If the Russians level three towns and kill 10K people, it's reported as "Russian forces 'advanced.'"

My father was an officer and combat veteran in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He, and all his military friends prized clear think above all else. Even when I was a teenager and asking pointed questions about Vietnam, the answers I always got were thoughtful, informed and rational. As he used to say, quoting Patton: "If everybody in this room is thinking the same thing, somebody's not thinking.

I thought the reason Monkeypox dooming died down in the media is that they actually stopped the spread. It took longer than two weeks but case rates are significantly lower in the west. The 7-day average shows a massive drop since the peak of the summer. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/mpx-trends.html

Also way too many people started askiny questions that challenge the narrative in other areas about the behavior of those who get monkey pox.

Sorry to have inadvertently misled the People about your orientation towards divinity, Niccolo. I love this Substack, and am glad to know that you are a believer. I hope that we can meet sooner or later, now that I'm moving to your part of the world this fall. Hungarian friend to me: "Why would you do this? It's like moving to Poland in August, 1939." I'm coming for the langos...

My USA NOV election Predictions;

I don’t know if or how the Democratic Party allows honest elections, but IF they do and GOP wins THEN the GOP will of course not use it, leading to something like this vignette from July Days 1917:

“The crowds outside of the Tauride Palace demanded to see a government official, and the Soviet Leaders sent out Viktor Chernov. When he tried to calm the crowd, they instead seized him, with one protestor famously shouting,

"Take power, you son of a bitch, when it is handed to you!"

Which of course they won’t.

Whatever happens I can confidently predict that if there are any genuine, non controlled & staged protests by the actual people Left or Right; our noble representatives shall RUN and HIDE.

^ That is certain. ^

My late mother and her sisters were in Croatia and Bosnia early 1990s, as good irish Catholics to guess where? Medjugorje of course, flying in via Mostar. There is a saying, once a Catholic, always a Catholic, as if one rejects it as an adult, one is still formed by it. Present generation of young Irish adults are first middle class to be raised by non-practising parents, a reality that forms our elites and media. There is now no political party which has room for the 33 per cent who voted against abortion expansion referendum and the 38 per cent who voted against 'Gay Marriage' referendum. They all chase the same liberal voters, especially the young. Dreher has his heart in the right place but believes too well of the enemies of faith, truth and reality.

There is no actual realistic right wing in ireland but a profitable NGO grift in 'opposing fascism'.
