Irish eyes on fire

The long-dormant socio-politico-philosophical caldera that is Northern Ireland appears to be active once again. The attempted beheading of Irishman Stephen Ogilvie by a 30-year old Sudanese migrant, Hadi Alodid, in the middle of a Belfast thoroughfare, has awakened something, finally, that won’t be so easily suppressed by the thuggish, traitorous Gardai who for too long have existed solely as a weapon used to beat the Irish into a despairing compliance. These aren’t mere riots; there is method, and range, to what is unfolding. The caldera could erupt at any moment, and release a tidal wave of molten lava upon the Rialtas na hÉireann.

I think the Irish are beginning to realize, before virtually every other besieged nation of the West, that theirs isn’t a problem that can be voted away. The mirage of democracy in their nation has dissolved to reveal the machinery of their undoing as a culture. Their own government, so inimically hostile to native-born Irish, is actively attempting to end them as a people. The Irish have finally faced this truth and are dealing with it in the only way now possible, in the words of Carl von Clausewitz, “the continuation of politics by other means”.  I wonder what this means for other Western nations grown so morally feeble, so intellectually flaccid, whose masses have so englutted themselves on the digital opiate. Will Ireland’s incipient revolution spark a similar awakening elsewhere?

 

 

 

Iryna Zarutska’s murderer has been ruled unfit to stand trial

DeCarlos Brown, the man who cut Iryna’s throat while she sat on a subway seat, has been ruled “mentally unfit” to stand trial. Her murder is on video. It’s unprovoked and psychopathic. Does “mentally unfit” mean crazy? We already knew he was. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have done what he did. He can be put on trial, and then put to death. This is why the death penalty exists. Brown has no place in civilized society any longer, and he’s a danger to anyone he comes into contact with. Societal squeemishness towards the death penalty is what allows innocents like Iryna to die, randomly, by the psychopathic who are allowed to roam our streets. Also, I don’t for a second believe he’s “mentally unfit”. If he knew a noose or a needle would be the outcome of a random murder, I sincerely believe he would think twice. Instead, rabid animals in skin suits roam free and attack at random. We condemn thousands of unknown innocents to violence and death because we refuse to deal with this problem the way it must be dealt with.

If it sounds extreme, remember what he did:

Tanner Lynn Horner, the FedEx driver who kidnapped and murdered 7-year old Athena Strand, was given the death sentence. He will now sit on death row for 20 years until he’s finally executed. Athena’s family will not feel justice served until then, meaning they will live with this open wound for the majority of their lives. Horner could be executed within the year, as could most killers when their case is so open-and-shut. But instead they live comfortably and at our expense.

Here is something to think about: roughly 1,800 children are murdered in the United States every year by an adult. If the murder of a child isn’t grounds for execution, then what is? By comparison, the US executes around 25 inmates per year, usually after they’ve spent two decades on death row. The death penalty is a tool of civilization, based on an understanding that sometimes, justice for the victims, and safety for society at large, necessitates an ultimate solution.

 

Election Insecurity 2026

I think we all knew that something would happen that would result in Spencer Pratt not advancing to a run-off with Karen Bass in the LA mayor’s race. But that “something” seems so blatant that it’s almost like they want you to see the crime committed openly.  It’s meant to demoralize us into back into the apathy we felt for elections before we woke up.

AI-enabled, license plate-scanning cameras are going up all over the country

Check out what has happened in just a little over a year. When you travel, you are no longer anonymous. These cameras log your presence wherever you go. There seems to be no push-back at all, no Constitutional challenges. The cops are just doing it. All the data is collected and stored in one big database that all law enforcement agencies can access.

Total, 24/7 surveillance is suddenly being normalized. Why? Cars that spy on you, phones, televisions and other appliances that monitor your every move, allowing a predictive model of your behavior to be created and stored. Data centers that are bigger than Paris are going up in almost every state, and this is all happening within the span of just a few years.

Here is my theory: once the reliable old people who’ve rubber-stamped this garbage for years finally die out, the younger people will need to be controlled. This is all for them. An infrastructure is being put into place to control the next generations who won’t mindlessly consume Fox News or CNN, and, probably most significantly, don’t support Israel. The facade of democracy will probably finally fall once the major voting block isn’t comprised of Boomers, who for the most part could be reliably herded into one political party or the other.

The final problem to be solved is Elon Musk’s moated and iron-walled citadel the First Amendment, X. This is the primary enemy to the well-laid plans of the geriatric totalitarians who will do whatever it takes to destroy the free speech zone he’s created.

Was Massie’s loss actually a good thing?

Massie has nothing to lose now. He can be completely unfiltered.

“The more virgin our eyes are, the more they have to say”

Wonderful paradoxical wisdom from Welles. I wonder what he thought of Tarantino, whose films take homage to almost the uttermost. This is true of every art form: painting, writing, music. The paradox lies in learning the technique without destroying your unique creativity, or subconsciously absorbing the personality and style of another artist.

A CECOT for Uncle Sam

The construction and use of the El Salvador megaprison, CECOT, would not have happened without a collective admission that, for the problem of mass violence and violent humans that more closely resemble rabid animals, a simple solution exists. A prison colony that will hold habitual offenders for the rest of their lives. No endless debates, think pieces written, books, or hand-wringing. It was simply built, and the thugs, murderers and career criminals were moved in. Now, El Salvador is a safe country once again, but it couldn’t have happened without finally facing the reality that a safe country requires brutal treatment of criminals. The only further step that El Salvador could take is to reinstate the death penalty, so mass murdering thugs like the one described in the video could be executed and forgotten about.

If George Floyd remained incarcerated, he would still be alive

Something to think about on this George Floyd Day. In life, he was convicted of multiple minor offenses, which culminated in a home invasion armed robbery, where he held a gun to a woman’s stomach. This is worthy of life imprisonment without parole, and in a civilized nation, he would still be alive, separated from the rest of society for the rest of his life in a prison colony. Instead, he served four years, and, well, we know what happened. What other fate would even be possible for someone like Floyd? An early violent death on the streets was inevitable. By failing to properly punish the habitually violent, we condemn unknown innocents to their violence. Only a total reevaluation of how we approach crime will solve this, along with a level of resolve that is all too rare.
