“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
You will note that the “CHAZ” was set up on the evening of June 8.
Weirdly, this follows by a FULL WEEK from another “PNW Region” event which you almost certainly did not hear about – the EXCLUSION OF ANTIFA PESTS from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (hereafter “CDA“) by…..
I strongly urge you to read about how ordinary people with GUNS kept that first window from being smashed – that first brick from flying – that first CIA-DNC-KGB-CCP headline from being written.
I feel a lot of affection for those crazy bastards in CHAZ. I like rebel energy. I assert my right to hold that thought while being fully aware that the situation is unacceptable.
I will interject right here that THIS is what Hotep Jesus has been talking about with our knee-jerk rejection of the idea of “autonomous zones”. He’s been saying (“hotep been told you”) “NOT SO FAST!”
The first paragraphs of the Hill article are very instructive – CDA was not the only place this happened.
Heavily armed citizens showed up recently at protests in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Montana, Colorado and Idaho to allegedly protected peaceful protesters from antifa.
In Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, groups of 25 to 50 armed men in combat gear spent successive nights patrolling the downtown area, following internet rumors that antifa agitators would be arriving from Seattle.
The FBI stated there is no evidence that any protests have been linked to antifa. Still, President Donald Trump tweeted: “Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle, run by Radical Left Democrats, of course. LAW & ORDER!”
Notice that first sentence. SIX STATES.
NOW – it strikes me that the CIA media didn’t just decide to “red-wash” the news about us “defending our enclaves”.
They STOLE the idea.
I have seen these jokers do this OVER and OVER.
FEARLESS GIRL – I continue to allege – was “STOLEN” (as much as ideas can be stolen, which is NOT REALLY, but still…) from one of Sundance’s favorite memes.
The fact that this meme – Fearless Girl – was STOLEN from The Conservative Treehouse does NOT mean we can’t steal it back and make it our own. This is part of the beauty of memes. They serve TRUTH better than they serve LIES and DECEPTION. The truth will come out, and we must not …
There is a very interesting story there, if you dig into the MSM reporting on the genesis of “Fearless Girl”. The story ends up giving away much about how cultural Marxists operate, and how corporations are SHAKEN DOWN by the left to both give them coin and show proper political fealty – EXACTLY as we see with “Black Lives Matter”, a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC.
But back to Coeur d’Alene.
If you know the place, then you know that it’s an interesting mix of people, like a lot of the West. Yes, it’s full of GRANOLA, but it’s also full of PATRIOTS of all stripes. Bottom line, FREEDOM matters to the people there.
Am I telling you to support “autonomous zones”?
NO.
Am I telling you to be against “autonomous zones”?
NO.
I’m saying OPEN YOUR MINDS to all possible ways to maximize our GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS.
I’m saying 4GW BATTLE.
I’m saying WIN, WIN, WIN.

The fake conservatives don't have any strategy. You could hijack all of these concepts and use them against the left and state but being right is better than being better, I guess. https://t.co/jwWdxqybjD
I’ll say this much – the people who actually BELIEVED the Chinese Communist LULLPROP disinformation that “Chinese can’t invent anything” are going to be busy hiding the evidence for the rest of this fourth-generation war, and probably LONG AFTER THAT.
Teaching Americans not to respect our enemy was smart. Teaching Americans to teach that to each other was – dare I say – inventive.
But far more inventive was the new Chinese Virus, a.k.a. Wuhan Coronavirus, a.k.a. COVID-19, a.k.a. ChiCom-19. I shall be using the latter designation, despite the fact that someday we will likely use some captured Chinese military codename for the virus.
I have already talked about this virus as a 4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) bioweapon HERE:
This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs. Enjoy. W This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents …
Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) has many definitions, and I will defer to originator William S. Lind and his followers for the official one. But for me, it can best be described as “radar war”. It is more about direction than magnitude. More about broadcast than visitation. More about “over there” than “right here”. More about “them” than “us”. More about “information” than “mass and energy”.
Here is Wikipedia’s entry for 4GW under “Modern Warfare”. You will see that it’s nothing like mine, but that’s OK. Pick whatever you want.
Fourth generation warfare (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a violent ideological network. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and safety.
While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgencies and the Indian Wars are examples of pre-modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non-state side trying to implement their own government or reestablish an old government over the one currently running the territory. The blurring of lines between state and non-state is further complicated in a democracy by the power of the media.
4GW is what the ChiComs do by nature, which Trump and Flynn understood, and which is why China had to try to stop them, using China’s 4GW assets all over the planet.
4GW is all about ASYMMETRY, or rather what everybody on this planet calls asymmetry, which is, to some extent, WRONG. What they really mean is a KIND of symmetry which involves small things balancing large things.
O_O and o_o have a certain symmetry that most people call symmetry.
o _ O and O _ o also have a certain symmetry, but everybody calls this “asymmetry”. WHATEVER.
I mean more like the second case, where there are “more apparent and more significant structurally balancing inequalities”.
A 4GW bioweapon isn’t going to be stupid like a nuke. The reason we HAVE 4GW is because of the stupidity of nukes. No – a 4GW bioweapon is likely to be rather unexpected. It may have MINIMAL biological effects, to HIDE its threat, and to allow plausible deniability, but at the same time, it may have devastating ORTHOGONAL EFFECTS.
You see what I’m sayin’? It might be VERY smart – even INVENTIVE.
Now, let me get straight to the point.
Tonight, watching a PBS special presentation of NOVA – actually a very old one – I suddenly realized that the ChiCom-19 virus isn’t just any old 4GW bioweapon – smart and inventive as that may be.
No – it’s designed to be the CENTERPIECE of a very cunning type of radiative warfare that we have never seen before.
I then realized that the ChiComs KNEW that the first historically significant use of a bioweapon could not be some crude bullshit like a terrorist attack. It had to be something completely new and unseen – JUST LIKE THE WEAPON ITSELF.
The PBS special was about the 2011 Japan tsunami that took out a significant part of Japan’s northeastern shoreline. And as I watched the program – both the graphics of the tsunami waves racing across the Pacific, and the very peculiarly non-obvious and victim-surprising dangers of the tsunami – I realized that the ChiCom-19 battle plan was build on the principle of a tsunami.
I even watched the wave race out and strike Hawaii – where there were NO DEATHS due to “over-reaction” by local officials, and realized what in the heck Mike DeWine was doing.
ASYMMETRIC DEFENSE.
Which is why old-school thinkers like Bill Mitchell – who try to linearize everything – are the SUPPORTERS, and guys like Trump and DeWine are the LEADERS. They see the idea of “balancing asymmetries”. And they see it pretty damn fast. Before I did.
FACE IT. Whoever came up with this Rommel-level attack is INVENTIVE AS HELL. I think we’ll be reading about him or her in MILITARY HISTORY BOOKS.
So now, let me explain – in much greater detail – exactly HOW this thing is modeled after a tsunami.
Let’s start off with something called THE TRUMP DOCTRINE.
Here is the SUNDANCE VERSION, which I think is a GREAT defintion:
Here is my version, which is pretty much the same thing, but coming at it from more of an enforcement standpoint.
And here, I’m being very specific to the case at hand.
The Chinese communists bitterly reject the Trump doctrine. It’s not hard to see why. Their FAKE, non-popular, elitist, broken version of feudalist socialism is built on dishonor, deception, and evasion of responsibility.
Generally speaking, the Chinese prefer to commit their crimes utterly unseen, but if not that, than at least unrecognized as a crime.
SO – how do you attack America with a biological weapon without being seen? Well, that’s actually pretty dangerous. In the end, an attack WILL be surmised, and it will be recognized as an act of war. So in this case, UNRECOGNIZED beats UNSEEN.
THIS is where the interesting symmetry of the tsunami comes in.
Tsunamis aren’t really tsunamis where they START – they’re EARTHQUAKES under the SEA.
Where the tsunami STARTS, it’s just a change in the level of the seawater, suddenly rising or falling a small height over a vast area.
From roughly the point of origin, a VERY interesting wave takes off in all directions. Now it may not look like what is shown above, but that’s the basic idea – a WAVE STARTS and TRAVELS OUTWARD at a very high rate of speed.
The thing is, that wave doesn’t cause a lot of damage. NOT AT FIRST.
In fact, until such a wave approaches land, it’s entirely survivable by boats. Here is the 2011 tsunami when it was actually very close to the Japanese shoreline.
These people unaffected by the tsunami are a lot like the asymptomatic carriers and “normal, young, healthy people” who experience ChiCom-19 either not at all, or like a mild case of the flu. For them, a tsunami simply “isn’t that bad”. Same with people farther inland. THEY THEMSELVES do not actually experience the devastating effects of the tsunami ON THEIR OWN BODIES.
In other words, they live. They may experience SOCIETAL EFFECTS, but they themselves survive.
Tsunamis only cause a lot of damage in specific places. To be honest, they don’t even LOOK as dangerous as a hurricane or a tornado. Not until the last minute. But the thing is, in the places where tsunamis DO cause a lot of damage – spread out widely from the point of origin – they cause a LOT of damage.
In the places where the tsunami hits, any people who can’t get away by SOME act of getting to higher ground, are basically screwed.
All of this – ALL of this – is perfectly analogous to what ChiCom-19 does.
Tsunamis don’t strike with the same intensity everywhere, and they strike at very odd times. None of it is linear. Because the waves change speeds, heights, and directions – following streets, rivers, lowlands, breachable obstructions, and other features they encounter, they can CHANGE dramatically.
Tsunami waves, when they finally reach their target, can be dangerously deep and murderous in some places, and defensible in others very closeby.
What is basically DAMAGELESS in one community can DESTROY another next to it.
In many ways, NURSING HOMES are the “seashore communities” of ChiCom-19. And it only takes ONE OR TWO SPREADERS to DEVASTATE THEM – just like a too-low seawall, or a bay feature, or a RIVER, was all that was necessary for the Sendai tsunami to destroy a village.
10,000 people died in one village in Japan – over a third of the total victims. How do we know that we would not have a city like that – somehow utterly unprepared for ChiCom-19?
What a beautifully sinister way to wreak destruction upon a foe. A CRIME with no apparent PERPETRATOR – just the FIRST VICTIMS in the country with the CRIMINAL government.
In Germany, those first victims – good German citizens betrayed by their criminal Nazi government – were killed just as cruelly as the first victims of ChiCom-19.
Just as a tsunami eventually impacts many things besides seashore communities, including the national economy, so the ChiCom-19 tsunami battle plan was designed as a form of economic warfare.
Just as the Japan earthquake created a tsunami that caused a reactor meltdown, almost destroying the Japanese nuclear industry, so the Chinese “rebellion-stopping internal virus release” created a viral pandemic designed to strike hospital intensive care units around the world – but particularly in the United States, where it threatened to destroy our healthcare industry, just recovering from the Stalinist and Maoist inefficiencies of Obamacare, so it might be forced BACK into socialized medical FAILURE.
The whole point is that China KNEW what it was doing. It KNEW what the virus was. It LIED about the virus to give it TIME to get to its destinations BEFORE people could react properly.
I could go on, but there’s no need. I’m going to let you readers have some fun spotting more shocking analogies.
Just read some articles and watch some videos about tsunamis.
Maybe look at some OTHER tsunamis.
You will see – this virus was given the characteristics, the circumstances, AND the ASSISTANCE needed for it to STRIKE America just like a tsunami.
So what’s happening now?
As far as I’m concerned, whatever our Commander In Chief wants to tell us.
This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs.
Enjoy.
W
Why is Ohio so prominent in the fight against ChiCom-19, and taking steps so strangely ahead of the current situation? Part of it is DeWine taking old virus fighter Fauci at his word – the smart fight (see rope-a-dope) is IN THE FUTURE – not now. But that's not all….
Would you believe "Trump evading the greatest Democrat / Chinese / socialist / globalist / fake news trap and hoax yet – even bigger than Russian collusion – even uglier than Syrian chemical weapons – even deeper in the administrative state than NSC-CIA-GO8 phony impeachment"?
I believe that America's enemies (including Dem leadership) are 100% signed onto the idea that they must beat Trump in Ohio. Thus expect to see a lot of chess there. So far, all of their moves have been to try to make POTUS react too late: sneak virus forward, hold POTUS back.
I am now of the opinion that the fight for 2020 will be harder, dirtier, and more scorched earth than 2016. Trump's message in presser about "virus gone" is partially to China and Dems. Honeybadger will wrestle the bees and the cobras as long as it takes, without giving a xxxx. pic.twitter.com/JvORy9wtO8
ChiCom-19 is a far more dangerous weapon than most bioweapons, because it is *4GW* – meaning Fourth Generation Warfare. This is a term due to William S. Lind. You can tell how important 4GW is, by how hard the leftists have worked to discredit both the idea and the author. pic.twitter.com/6jzHsn9IuA
Some say ChiCom-19 is simply a hoax. Others say the virus is a real threat. Would you believe BOTH?
The moment I saw the first graph of fatality vs. age, I saw a human hand, and knew it was a cunning bioweapon – a more efficiently culling new flu without comfort of a vaccine. pic.twitter.com/eZI6LlaqWY
ChiCom-19 is extremely Alinsky – it creates a FEAR which is much bigger than the thing itself. The fear is a great and very predictable manipulator. That is the HOAXY half of it. Resisting the FEAR, the MANIPULATION and the inevitable STATIST LAWFARE is a must to PLAY SMART. pic.twitter.com/hlVgSX7kmT
However, ChiCom-19 is not a stupid hoax, like Jussie Smollett's little lynching "prank". It's actually a lot smarter than the Phony Witchhunt. It's even smarter than the Fake Whistleblower scam, which rather impressively accused a criminal investigation of being a crime. pic.twitter.com/DQBuiB6NJ9
In a world where influenza amounts to the Uranium 238 we use for dumb cool heavy bullets, ChiCom-19 is the Uranium 235 where if you make ONE bullet too big, you get something VERY unexpected.
We can create a LOCAL CRITICALITY using ChiCom-19, and we can create a 4GW explosion. pic.twitter.com/xVQ3fgO9x6
Translation: ChiCom-19 has a property like Uranium 235, which "can't help setting off the next couple of U-235 atoms". ChiCom-19 can infect the NEXT couple of people before you even know you HAVE IT. That is a beautiful property for a VIRAL BOMB. A very sneaky, hidden bomb. pic.twitter.com/bsc4l1rK2U
Broadcasting 4GW often involves working with friendlies of different kinds in "enemy territory" – providing them with things or circumstances they need to degrade enemy capabilities. Those things, including ChiCom-19, can be provided without any choice.https://t.co/9Rkk292hAJpic.twitter.com/DSGB6lTTcR
American corporate media are easily manipulated as part of 4GW, predictable in their support or opposition of memes, viewpoints, and narratives. They are particularly good at SUPPRESSING viewpoints, ideas, and realities. Suppression of Chinese responsibility is a key goal. pic.twitter.com/0yudKz8Niw
4GW is deeply tied to mass media, social media, psychology, morale, and creations of perceptions and false realities. It is far easier to defend when the enemy cannot even rally its People to see an attack. China's strong 4GW abilities are easily seen by this Wikipedia entry. pic.twitter.com/NC3T24cIZC
The Chinese aren't alone, here – their American, English, and Russian Bolshevik buddies are helping like crazy, and LEFTISM is the common denominator to follow. Here is a typical example of Soviet Marxist dregs using RT to come to the aid of China on the Wuhan virus attack. pic.twitter.com/XBlmzWkDJX
The point of all the racial blamecasting is to deflect from and deny China's role in releasing the virus. The automatic presumption of racial motive was quickly SEEDED before Americans had enough FACTS to realize that the Chinese and Iranians have been LYING from the beginning. pic.twitter.com/QOomNBPEHo
Remember "bat soup"? Well, here is what "bat soup" looks like now. The trick is this. It was never a mistake – it was 4GW. They USED our media to TEACH you a lie, and when that lie didn't work, they BLAMED you for believing the old lie ("rayciss!"), while creating a new one. pic.twitter.com/qWsennU2NX
I've been in science for a long time, so I observed CCP plants pushing racial and other psy-ops on US soil since the '80s. Their loyalty to Beijing is extreme, even when badly pretending otherwise. It helps to SLAP your old PSY-OP beliefs they all hate the CCP. They don't. pic.twitter.com/PkG5llSCvj
So back to ChiCom-19, the amazing 4GW bio-weapon that can be pushed into local criticality rather easily. Now that our MEDIA have successfully pushed to not even link it to the point of origin in CHINA, it will be doubly hard to spot the HIDDEN BLADE now deployed worldwide.
When I saw how quickly they had gotten this stuff close to China's "other Western Hemisphere problem" – Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro – going through his Press Secretary Fabio Wajngarten – well, I simply had to ADMIRE Chinese intelligence for that one. That was SLICK. pic.twitter.com/cXR844rbrN
Are you curious how the ChiComs might have done that? How they might have gotten ChiCom-19 just one hop away from Bolsonaro? It's not hard. On 3/12 "we" confirmed they nailed Wajngarten. On 3/14, look what shows up at the White House. GOOD CATCH.https://t.co/s12RtmjtGl
These incidents all in the realm and range of "spook activities". They're all plausibly deniable, and carefully contrived, easily hiding reality under several layers of smoke and mirrors, a la Mar-a-Lago.https://t.co/7rSFWXSSHy
The much more concerning way this virus goes critical is not a "sharp spike" toward one person. It is INSERTION of the virus into a small, medium, or large cluster of high-mortality potential victims. Nursing homes, retirement communities, SCOTUS, etc.https://t.co/06cvrdEH4P
Such criticalities can even go REALLY BIG, like in Italy. People are STILL debating exactly WHY Italy went critical. High age, overrun hospitals, and smoking are all theories. But the most concerning theory is TIME – that Italy did not quarantine HARD enough SOON enough. pic.twitter.com/pFzkT8ulaY
Now – here is the worst part – where the really ugly side of 4GW kicks in – especially in dealing with the immoral ChiComs. Remember the Australian brushfire ARSONISTS? The LEFTISTS who exacerbate the "global warming threat" to FURTHER THE HOAX?https://t.co/BVMXPKmScP
"Hoax to prove" is basically scientific fraud, and the mentality is quite prevalent in "climate science" – which interestingly helps China. Why? One simply has to understand SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY at levels which the American press does not, to see how politically EFFECTIVE it is. pic.twitter.com/qwY8XX3D8e
Leftists have been socially conditioned not to see "hoax to prove" as a lie. This is what Orwell said about 2+2=5, only much nicer, without jackboots, and all filled with Oprah hugs and Ellen smuchas, as long as you believe it, too. This is why I call them the "Nazis of Nice". pic.twitter.com/YJ3bRCmpZV
The fact is, though, that somebody inevitably gets hurt in these sneaky lying hoaxes. Usually, at first, it's the alleged perpetrator. In Smollett's case, that would be people like ME with our MAGA HATS. But when TRUTH FINALLY ARRIVES, it's likely to be the ACCUSER, TOO. pic.twitter.com/aRGot17ixz
The trouble is, people DIE in arson BRUSHFIRES and hoax-based RIOTS. And they could DIE in hoaxy "proofs" of Trump's incompetence.
Don't tell me that some of these TDS-afflicted, hoax-unseeing "resistoids" aren't already HOPING for it, because – yeah – they are. "Blue wave." pic.twitter.com/YiQGFiQpf7
This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents as he did. I do NOT believe that an Italy scenario is inevitable here – AT ALL. In fact, I feel that such thinking is unwise at best – dangerous at worst.
My initial reaction was that the person subconsciously HOPES for the bad stuff to happen to America to “get Trump”. So did several other posters, a few of whom replied to him negatively.
What is very interesting is that this TDS poster does NOT see himself AT ALL as having a “Schadenfreude for Trump Failure” worldview. And yet, I am pretty sure that most of us, reading his comment, can not only sense it, but can sense the beginnings of both hoax-tolerating TDS, and maybe even hoax-permitting TDS.
To me, this is psychology which the Chinese communists KNOW deeply, CREATE easily, and EXPLOIT routinely. All of our lying, hoaxing socialist Democrat neighbors are – IMO – the product of Chinese communist understanding of how to mass-brainwash Americans through a captive media.
I kindly ask people to treat this person nicely and not give him a bunch of shit. I sense the possibility of psychological breakthrough here. I mean, I’m trying to save Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Maybe HE can learn to save Donald Trump, who has done more to save RBG than ANY OF US.
Thanks!
Moving on again…..
Now I don't want to wish this crap into existence – that would make me no better than THEM.
But I have found that – sadly – the entire Trump base has to look out for our legitimately elected and beloved President, because the HATE against him – and US, too – is SO STRONG. pic.twitter.com/WNcV6pieYh
Even when the media pretends to back Pres. Trump, they don't. Take this corona simulator by the Evil WaPo, showing how "flattening the curve" works. The subtle hidden message is that "social distancing" works better than quarantine, so Trump is wrong.https://t.co/WqILNeMVV2
I could spend a whole thread on the trick science here. LATER. For now, note these simple facts. They never show more than one WEAK example of quarantine. They never show quarantine PLUS social distancing. And they never show their FUNDAMENTAL RELATIONSHIP.
The fact is that WE – you, me, POTUS, and all of MAGA and AMERICA – are engaged in a 4GW battle with China. POTUS cannot engage the ChiComs, the media, and their wicked ChiCom-19 weapon like WE CAN, using OUR tactics. He battles the media his way. We battle them in OUR WAYS. pic.twitter.com/AqDaNnyIQ3
We must show that CHINA attacks our cultural icons when they attack our elders. They attack our history, our culture, our religion, our flag, and the bravest defenders of these things.
To the Chinese communists, and those who helped them construct ChiCom-19, we say NO. pic.twitter.com/Xc1VA4m68d
An attack on SCOTUS is an attack on our Constitution. An attack on our Constitution is an attack on US. And an attack on US by any method – including the most cunning and deniable 4GW attacks, will be met by the most honorable and fierce 4GW counterattacks ever launched.
This was a short thread where I repeated some of these ideas differently.
We don't know what they know. China's scientific community is highly controlled. It's how they learned to surreptitiously control OUR scientific community. It's how the climate hoax worked. VERY SUBTLE control of our scientific community through advanced social sciences.
I don't believe they have any magic elixir, although they may have a vaccine, but that is not essential. From what I can see, this virus is not that far off from a naturally novel animal virus. It was tweaked just enough to add the features it needed to be a good bioweapon.
A good bioweapon should not be too lethal – especially if it is being used primarily as a 4GW weapon. HOAXING, FEAR, POLITICS, ECONOMICS. Alinsky. Think of it as wanting TEAR GAS instead of NERVE GAS. They wanted to deploy something to attack Trump and his supporters. A WEDGE.
It appears that the ChiComs believed their media control could suppress the belief that it was human-tweaked, but that was a mistake. The presence of spike changes which evidenced design cascaded to produce plausible theories of intentional use, and then it was too late to stop.
They had also published too much in journals they could not immediately silence, and had too much paper trail on collaboration in research that would be immediately damning in the event of an incident. They tried "bat soup", and then "bat soup is racist", but both failed. pic.twitter.com/mB7yYHnYfB
Not glee…just a fact. It's a shame because it didn't have to be this way.
But, think what you want to think because your petty projection of my feelings doesn't change the reality. This is a worldwide epidemic and will affect everyone. Period.
Addendum III – Miscellaneous ChiCom-19 and 4GW Tweets and Important Links
Actually, Bill, we shut it down for the ones who DIDN'T and WON'T die. My guess is the American total would have been in the tens of thousands, had we done nothing to limit COVID. And they would ALL be blamed on Trump.
I think the question is cities. Nursing homes need to be STERILE of the stuff. That's the key. We just cannot let staff become asymptomatic carriers, nor can we allow staff to come into CONTACT with asymptomatic carriers. This stuff is very dangerous to retirees & smokers.
My wife and I and neighbors (pre- and early retirement) have probably had it (Iran connection). Very contagious. Shortness of breath is the big give-away. "SARS". None of us needed hospitalization, but the two ex-smokers had it worse. A crud-type flu – you've had similar.
Because we can't be *certain* we had it, or that it won't mutate to a catchable version again, we have to be careful. My lungs are not back to 100%, so I don't want to get it again.
Maybe THAT is the primary goal here. He is being schmoozed back into the "virus and vaccine research kabuki" religion. For the record, I like REAL vaccines, but I don't trust the Clinton-Gates-Soros-China virus cabal – they're up to pop. controls, like boomer-killer ChiCom-19.
I’m not just a classic liberal – I’m a PALEOLIBERAL. Which in these incipient socialist times means that I now resemble a “classic conservative”.
Yeah, it’s complicated.
But the bottom line, is that I want America to be conservative enough that it’s MORALLY SAFE to be a wee bit liberal again, championing such radical things as a “wide interpretation” of the BILL OF RIGHTS.
You know – so I can be a flaming liberal moonbat like RAND PAUL!
OK – that’s not working. Let’s try something else.
This is a BOOK REVIEW. Of a GREAT BOOK. By a GREAT THINKER.
William S. Lind is a name I had heard of before, back on some blog we now call OT, otherwise known as CTH, or The Conservative Treehouse, or The Last Refuge. Lind’s name came up in the context of two great ideas, both of which I was heavily schooled in, by several of the sharp conservatives hanging out at Sundance’s place. Those ideas were:
4GW – short for 4th Generation Warfare
Cultural Marxism in America
But if you look these up on Marxypedia, and search out any connection to William S. Lind, you will get the impression that he’s an unknown crackpot of some kind. HA! More deception by the communist occupation.
Lind is not without controversy, as BOTH of his claims to fame have been vociferously criticized by people who typically get FOUR OR MORE Suspicious Cats from me.
You know – like THE DAILY KOS.
The criticisms of Lind, in my opinion, give away his importance.
So as you might imagine, Lind’s name and his self-description as a “paleoconservative” on the back cover were very attractive to me – just as attractive as the 4GW paleo-hottie featured on the front cover of his book.
TIME WARS.
Cunning stuff, from the master of 4GW.
Yes, retroculture looks a bit like cultural retreat, and that is indeed part of its brilliance.
Retroculture is an extremely disruptive idea that was just waiting for somebody to BRAND it.
Retroculture was with me every time I grabbed OLD AMERICAN HARDWOOD AND STEEL HAND TOOLS from one more estate sale, to replace CHEATIN’ CHINESE POT METAL JUNK that broke during the first few uses.
Retroculture was with me and the wife, when we purchased our dear abode, which looks, how shall we say – “OLD-TIMEY”.
Retroculture was with me when I proposed to my dear wife, whose very old cultural roots were a bit n00by compared to some of mine, but were still old enough to guarantee retention of TIMELESS values.
I always wanted to CALL these thoughts of LONG-TERM AND PROVEN VALUE something.
RETROCULTURE is exactly what that something is.
Retroculture is, incidentally, the very idea that got Trump elected.
Really? Why?
BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE WISH THEY COULD GO BACK TO A BETTER PAST, THE MAN WHO CAN ACTUALLY HELP THEM PULL IT OFF IS THEIR CHAMPION.
TIME TRAVEL TRUMP. Yeah. There is a REASON he seems so “timeless”. HE IS.
For those of you who REMEMBER, there was an episode of Original Star Trek called “All Our Yesterdays” – in which people on a planet facing a supernova ESCAPED INTO THE PAST.
This idea was unsettling. BUT what is quite possibly bothering you EVEN MORE right now is the EVEN MORE unsettling idea that this plot actually sounds better NOW than it did THEN.
ADMIT IT.
Let’s take a stroll……
But before we do, just a word of warning. Yeah, we know that Star Trek is filled with the usual Hollywood satanist and Illuminati symbolism, including Spock’s ears, but just keep your hat on for the duration of the ride. It’s not ALL satanic, demonic, and ugly. It’s. Just. Hollywood.
Here we go.
Kirk and the boys end up on some planet that they were thinking might need some HELP, and it turns out that everybody seems to be GONE.
Those old guys are lookin’ pretty good right there, AM I RIGHT? With age, comes discernment. You stop seeing things as “dated” and “old fashioned”, and you see past that stuff. SO……
If “old” Star Trek is lookin’ good to you now, just wait.
All our Star Trek hereoes get “accidentally or on purpose” lost in the past of this planet. Including Spock, who ends up going EXTREME RETRO. And who does he meet?
Remember Mariette Hartley? You kinda missing her right now? Think things mighta been better in Hollywood back then? This was TV, mind you.
Don’t get me started about the Westerns.
You ain’t seen nothin’. Watch this.
We weren’t racists back then. It’s a LIE.
We had INTER-SPECIES LOVE IN PRIME TIME. And I watched this as a KID with my PARENTS IN THE ROOM.
Yeah, the satanic ears probably sailed a lot of this stuff past the Hollywood creeps who would have otherwise nixed some ground-breaking sci-fi and “preppertainment”, but still – ignore for the moment. Factor it out. This wasn’t “The Gong Show”.
Lind correctly identifies the 1960s as where things started going to hell, but not without a valiant attempt to go where things SHOULD have gone – very likely under media victim Barry Goldwater.
Note how the Uhura-Kirk kiss wasn’t the only groundbreaking “civil rights” on television. How these proggies can claim we were racists back then is beyond ludicrous – it’s horsefeathers.
They LIE to us about our past, so they can drive us into THEIR vision of OUR future.
Just ONE random old TV show from the 1960s, betraying the relative innocence of America in only the EARLY Marxist takeover of Hollywood….
Ironically envisioning both PALEO PAST and RADICAL FUTURE…..
And yet it ALL seems so much more NORMAL and DESIRABLE than the INFLICTED INSANITY OF NOW.
Or maybe THIS is more your style. Hold that SCARY THOUGHT that PBS liberals might very well yearn for RETROCULTURE every bit as much as you do.
I mean, you don’t think that William “4GW” Lind would come up with an idea that wasn’t ACTUALLY dangerous to the dark side of the force, do you?
OR THIS….

Note that this isn’t “real” in most senses – it’s actually a dramatization of code-breaking basics that the World War II code-breakers knew from the start. More than that, it’s also filled with PC encouragement of women to enter STEM. But THAT isn’t the point, either.
The point is that this movie, which I JUST. KEEP. USING. to demonstrate point after point about information warfare, is ULTIMATELY RETROCULTURAL, and that is why it works SO. DARN. WELL. People love retroculture because HISTORY proves its VALIDITY.
Retroculture throws all of our current chaotically ridiculous social and technical problems BACK IN TIME where they are SENSIBLE and SOLUBLE (including REJECTABLE) in a proven framework where GREATNESS WAS ACHIEVABLE.
And this brings up an important point which Lind addresses over and over, so that it gets past our ALINSKY FEARS – those fears that it’s all just some kind of “reenactment” written as large as our whole lives.
Retroculture is not mere NOSTALGIA, nor is it ABOUT nostalgia, although our current CULTURAL NOSTALGIA is indeed a SIGN that we are actually IN NEED OF retroculture.
Retroculture is something bigger and more profound.
Retroculture SOLVES PROBLEMS. And not necessarily in ways that socially damaging, urgency-foisting progressives want.
Retroculture is more about classic VALUES and LIFESTYLES than about the mere outward trappings of those times.
Retroculture is not any kind of “running away”, into the past. Retroculture is ENGAGING THE FUTURE on solid ground.
And SOME OF US on this very site may actually be a bit “ahead of the curve” on this stuff. Ya know? Look at all our own retrocultural symbolism and take comfort.
The idea of RETROCULTURE as the PROPER COURSE OF PROGRESS of America is such a BIG and profound idea, it escapes any attempt to box it in, and Lind knows this. Lind does not merely remind us that this sort of cultural re-examination and emulation of our classic past has happened before – and was GREAT for humanity – even great for HUMAN PROGRESS. Lind is actually able to make some easy yet startling predictions about what things might look like as this idea of retroculture takes over and defines the rest of this century.
You can’t read this book and not feel your head fill up with YOUR OWN IDEAS about what this means. Here is some of my thinking, inspired by Lind.
Retroculture is MOVEMENT, but it’s BIG MOVEMENT – more like a cultural paradigm shift. Political movements like MAGA and fads like steampunk fall like snowflakes within the mountain range of retroculture and the YEARNING for it, as tiny derivations and exemplars.
Retroculture is also something that I am quite sure scares the hell out of our faux “progressives” – seemingly better described as “regressives”. Why do you think our crypto-socialist social media czars, at the behest of Adam “Pencilneck” Schiff, banned the ultimately retrocultural “Natural News”?
Retroculture might actually be MORE POSITIVELY “progressive” than progressivism. This is shocking to even contemplate, but yet it seems likely. Part of retroculture’s 4GW appeal is that – no matter what liberals SAY, THEY TOO will find value in the past – and likely more than in the current, modern, incompetent, and faulty visions of progressivism.
Retroculture amounts to popular selection of principles by LIVING THEM, not just by TALKING about them. It is validation of tenets of both conservatism and liberalism which PROVE THEMSELVES WORTHY TO RETAIN – voted on BY PEOPLE with their very lives.
Retroculture is selective rejection of the present – of what things are NOT QUALIFIED to become part of our past – our LIVING, INTELLIGENT PAST.
What liberalisms DIE IN THE NOW are fads. What liberalisms are retained by THE PEOPLE are judged WORTHY and maybe someday CLASSIC, possibly enduring who knows how long.
Retroculture is the FINE SIEVE of a truly free and truly equal people which judges and chooses WISELY, not POORLY.
Retroculture is a rejection of CONTROLLING TECHNOLOGY and CONTROL BY TECHNOLOGY. It demands CONTROL OF TECHNOLOGY. It is utterly HUMAN.
Retroculture, embracing what the dishonest subset of modernists tell us must be rejected, instead REJECTS their lies, their fakery, and their deceptions, by CHOOSING what they FALSELY say is dead, and which therefore becomes alive by our mere act of CHOOSING TO LIVE IT.
Retroculture, free and selective, falsifies controlling globalism by its very existence. And yet retroculture, AWARE and never IN DENIAL, retains what powers – moral, cultural, and technical – are needed to defend itself. It’s pure and utter allegiance to TRUTH insures that it will never – can never – be destroyed. RETENTION OF TRUTH is in accordance with CREATION ITSELF.
But that’s JUST ME – running away with Lind’s amazing ideas, in my own directions. It is far more critical to simply take a look at LIND’S THINKING, which I can only begin to address here. And – as a way to share his thinking without stealing his thunder, I think his CHAPTER HEADINGS tell you everything you need to know, to understand that Lind wants you to (1) decide if retroculture is right for you, and then (2) implement a retrocultural lifestyle in the ways that are right for you.
If you are conservative, or old-fashioned in any ways, you are likely doing much of this already. However, Lind is offering you ways to UP YOUR GAME. Particularly if you’re more of a “crypto-retrocultural” like me, hiding behind modernist gimmicks which pass me off as unremarkable despite ANCIENT values. Lind challenges you to WEAR THE SIGNS and SPREAD THE FAITH.

Now – let me go a bit beyond Lind and explain why this book is so dangerous – and how to make it even more dangerous.
If *I* was ARKTOS, the publisher, I would have about TEN versions of that cover. Why? Because everybody wants to either BE on that cover, or be ATTRACTED to the person on it.
Sure – jumping right out with that 1950’s white blonde in a dress was utter genius and a perfect thumb in the face of all that is PC, but trust me – EVERYBODY is going to want to get in on the act. RETROCULTURE lets everybody BE WHO THEY ARE WITHOUT GUILT, in beautiful and validated lifestyles that ACTUALLY WORK.
The very next cover, if I were doing it, would be some historical version of Candace Owens. Then maybe a young, swoonable Elvis Presley type. Then more. No matter what, it would show the IN YOUR FACE attractiveness of retroculture and retrosexuality to EVERYBODY.
YES – that genius cover is more than just retrocultural – it is specifically RETROSEXUAL.
This is why I admit that I’m not just a retrocultural – I’m a RETROSEXUAL. Our restrained yet artfully constructed, sexually dimorphic past – GUILTLESS in its beauty- was AWESOME. Sure – now we’ve learned not to be MEAN to well-behaved sexual minorities – but why are we demonizing NORMALCY as part of it? We were doing it right before, more or less, with just a few things that we can EASILY FIX NOW with reterocultural MANNERS (see the book).
That’s the whole POINT of retroculture. It’s not the past. It’s LIKE IT, only BETTER.
And I’m not just an activist – I’m a BACKTIVIST. I’m saying that the direction FORWARD is to ACTUALLY GO BACK. We have been DECEIVED FORWARD, so the PROPER ESCAPE from this WORLD OF MISTAKES we are in, is to simply GO BACK.
Do you see how amazingly dangerous this idea of RETROCULTURE actually is, to phony progressivism and spatially and temporally monolithic globalism? This is jumping the track to ALTERNATE HISTORY where Martin Luther King, Jr. NEVER DIED, and REFUSED – absolutely REFUSED to support racial quotas and all the other stupid stuff that the communists forced upon us.
RETROCULTURE leads to a world where all of the mistakes that were forced upon us after they killed Kennedy just plain NEVER HAPPENED.
RETROCULTURE IS TRUE REBELLION AGAINST PAST ERROR BY ADMITTING IT AND THEN GOING BACK TO FIX IT.
How could we not want this?
The truth is, WE ALREADY WANT THIS.
“Nothing can stop what’s coming.”
Look at your life. I will bet MONEY you are already adopting retrocultural memes, but are just shy about it, or even feeling a bit GUILTY.
Stop feeling guilty!
Here you go. List FIVE unfashionable, out-of-date, out-of-style, quaint, or old-fashioned things that you LOVE, timeless as they may be, but in some cases may feel that you can’t openly love them as much as you would like to love them.
Deep down – EVERYBODY LOVES THIS STUFF. EVERYBODY WANTS THIS STUFF.
They just need to embrace it guiltlessly while the cabal VAINLY tries to stop it.
The fashion and luxury industries LOVE this stuff, too. Reinventing the past with greater and greater authenticity yet adding some form of “new and shiny” polish is their DREAM COME TRUE.
Retroculture subverts all of the mistakes of the past and present – and it does so without being stupid or gullible.
NOW – we have to be ready for the commie cabal to counter with their own schtick, OR their usual criticisms. I’m sure there is some way they can gerrymander retroculture into “appropriation” of some kind, but that criticism is weak sauce – just ignore it. Humanity is too far along to worry about spreading good and classic ideas.
The greater danger, in my opinion, is a kind of faux retro that leads right back to progressive error.
To see this, you have to dig into Lind’s personal vision of Retroculture. These are not things you will assume at first have to be a part of Retroculture, but the fact is, any self-consistent version of Retroculture DOES HAVE THESE THINGS, because retroculture simplifies life, culture and technology.
Retroculture VALUES things like WALKING, and TAKING THE TROLLEY, and CONSERVING ENERGY, and BEING HEALTHY and GETTING BACK TO NATURE.
BUT HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!
One can almost envision Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez jumping up and down in her CIA white dress, biting her old-timey ruby-red lips, raising her hand excitedly, and saying “WE’VE GOT THAT!!!”
Yes, she does. But that’s not all there is to TRULY conserving retroculture. At the same time, retroculture embraces ALL of the smarter past, including HIGHER SMARTER VALUES like GETTING BACK TO GOD, and HIGHER SMARTER TECHNOLOGY for everybody when they want it – not just for a TECHNOCRATIC ELITE.
Retroculture includes the FEARLESS ADMISSION OF TIMELESS TRUTH.
So let’s be fearlessly BLUNT.
Their “Green New Deal” is really the GREEN NEW STONE AGE, ruled over by a political elite, supported by a technocratic elite, and based on LIES.
Retroculture – in America’s case – is a TRUTH-BASED RETURN TO CLASSIC VALUES ACROSS AMERICAN HISTORY AND ACROSS THE POPULACE.
THAT is a much bigger, better, and brighter thing.
You don’t think Lind and his editors put that plane in the picture for NOTHING – do you?
Of course not. SMART, MORAL retroculture is not about to get fooled ONE MORE MINUTE by shifty-eyed progressive techno-hoarding and communist privilege rationing.
Retroculture is not simply the past – it’s the FUTURE, too.
Now – you probably have a million specific questions, PROBLEMS TO POSE, and “whataboutisms” which you feel need to be addressed. LIND ADDRESSES THEM. JUST BUY THE BOOK.
The book is cheap. Eight dollars on Kindle, or nineteen dollars in paperback.
Get it, read it, and make your RETROCULTURAL PLANS.
