Tens of thousands protest against Putin in Russian far east

KHABAROVSK/MOSCOW (Reuters) 25 July 2020 - Tens of thousands marched in the Russian far east on Saturday, the third such weekend protest in a row, to express their anger over what they say is President Vladimir Putin’s mishandling of a local political crisis.

Residents of Khabarovsk, around 3,800 miles (6,110 km) and seven time zones east of Moscow, are unhappy about the detention this month of the wider region’s popular governor, Sergei Furgal, who was arrested on murder charges he denies.

His arrest, which his supporters say was politically motivated, triggered the protests and created a headache for the Kremlin which is trying to troubleshoot a COVID-19-induced drop in real incomes and keep a lid on unrest.

Protesters chanted “Putin resign!” and “Putin is a thief!”. Demonstrators say they want Furgal, who they think has been set up, to be flown back from Moscow and put on trial in Khabarovsk.

City authorities estimated around 6,500 people had taken part. One local media outlet put the number at up to 20,000, while other outlets and opposition activists said upwards of 50,000 had attended and that it was the biggest protest of its kind so far.

“Give us our Furgal back,” said a local businesswoman called Viktoria. “This is our choice.”

The protests have highlighted anger among some over what they see as policies emanating from detached Moscow-based authorities.

Supporters of Furgal, a member of the nationalist LDPR party, feel he is being belatedly punished for defeating a candidate from the ruling pro-Putin United Russia party in 2018. The Kremlin says Furgal has serious charges to answer.

Such sustained demonstrations are unusual for Russia’s regions, as is the fact that the authorities have not yet moved to break them up.

In an apparent move to defuse tensions, Putin on Monday named a new acting governor. But protesters said they felt insulted by the choice of Mikhail Degtyaryov, who has no connection with the region, and have demanded he step down.

Bari Weiss resigns from NY Times for their witch trial justice.

mancinblack says:

In an ordinary crime, how does one defend the accused ? One calls up witnesses to prove his innocence. And witchcraft is ipso facto, on its face and by its nature an invisible crime. Now we cannot hope the witch will accuse herself ; granted? Therefor, we must rely upon her victims - and they do testify, the children certainly do testify.

( Deputy Governor Danforth, ‘The Crucible’ Act 3 )

It’s to be hoped that the FBI and state prosecutors do have some actual evidence for the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, rather than relying on the numerous allegations made against her by ‘survivors’ - a wondrously American way of describing victims (cue Gloria Gaynor) for some of the allegations might make the casual observer feel a little sceptical.

According to Annie Farmer, in order to satisfy Epstein’s lust, Maxwell had to “recruit three girls a day”. That’s twenty one a week and at least ninety in a calendar month. Goody Maxwell would have needed to spend from dawn of day to blink of night at her grooming wheel, without so much time as to even phone her accountant, just to keep up with demand.

Sarah Ransome, who was a 22 year old when she claims she was trafficked by Epstein said

When Jeffrey wanted me, you know, Sara Kellen [Maxwell’s neophyte] or Ghislaine would call me into his bedroom, and I had no choice but to go

What witchery is this? Ransome had no choice. She had to obey the commands of the monster Maxwell and her dark sister.

Did I say ‘monster’? well, a ‘Jane Doe’ survivor described Maxwell as “a predator and a monster”. Annie Farmer called her “a sexual predator” while Farmer’s sister Maria said “Maxwell would turn on a dime into a very malicious, brutal human being”. Some menopausal women can appear that way sometimes. It’s not that unusual.

“William Steel”, not his real name, who is an ex-jewel thief turned writer , claims Epstein and Maxwell “made him watch videos to prove they ‘owned’ people”. They seemed to be remarkably open and cavalier about their operations and only “William Steel” could explain why they felt it necessary to impress him.

A couple of days ago, lawyers representing Maxwell were moved to file a letter of complaint to US District Judge Allison Nathan saying

The Government, its agents, witnesses and their lawyers have made, and continue to make, statements prejudicial to a fair trial

In reply, Lisa Bloom, who represents five ‘survivors’ said that Maxwell’s accusers “will never be silent. Once empowered, women never go back to being victims”. Maxwell would be the exception to that rule, then.

For her part, Maxwell remains defiant in maintaining her innocence, which suggests that she knows there is no hard evidence against her either because it has been destroyed or because none existed to begin with. If this is so, then the FBI must be hoping that the pressure of twelve months in jail awaiting trial will make Maxwell crack and give up some names. Not that those names would be made public. It’s more likely they would be retained by the US intel services for use in their own blackmail schemes. However, Maxwell may simply ask for “more weight”.

If Maxwell ends up with a witch trial, she will still fair better than the police officers who have been charged in the Floyd case. They have already been found guilty by the same government and its agents, the MSM and a global public who appear to have added ergot to their lockdown diet. All the officers will get is a show trial. Another opportunity for the descendants of Tituba to flex their huge sense of entitlement and foreshadow another global orgy of virtue signaling and sado-masochistic self flagellation of white liberals.

As nationalists, for obvious reasons, we should want sound jurisprudence to be maintained in our countries . That a fair trial cannot be taken for granted in the country that prides itself on being the leader of the free world is beyond disgusting. Everyone, regardless of their alleged crimes, deserves the right to a fair trial, free from political interference and Woke culture. Although, as we know, a court case is not the only way a life can be destroyed and a reputation shredded.

Woke Matthew Hopkins Rides Out

Social media infractions aside, there is a growing trend for people making accusations against work colleagues, with the same relish and enthusiasm their seventeenth century ancestors displayed when accusing their neighbours of practicing the Dark Arts. The adoption of the African American #MeToo and #BLM movements by white liberals has made and will continue to make, this phenomenon worse. It seems no one is immune. Recent victims include the Jewish centrist writer at the NYT, Bari Weiss, for not being Red enough. Author JK Rowling, who was devoured by the creatures she created for having the temerity to say that womanhood has a biological basis ; and the US ambassador to Britain, Woody Johnson, who was investigated by US officials following accusations that he had made “generalised comments about black men”.

The only salvation for the accused is to confess their sins, prostrate themselves and apologize profusely and if at all possible, implicate another person. If it is a black life that has taken offence, only taking the knee before kissing the anus of a black male will suffice. At midnight after walking thrice widdershins around an old oak tree.

There will be a pointy reckoning one day but until then, although you cannot see the yellow bird in the rafters, you must believe it is there. Or Else.

After all that darkness, here’s a piece of music to lighten things up. A little. Be True.

Paleoconservatism as “Cultural Controlled Opposition” in response to Neo-Conservatism and its Clean Break Memo.

They typically come across as your best asset. If you recognize it for what it is and keep it on the radar screen as such, not getting caught up, controlled opposition can have its utility as they are often funded to provide valuable resource, typically enlisting intelligent people and allowing them fine and clear articulation of some important information for WN. Nick Fuentes nicely articulates Israeli Operation Clean Break, a.k.a., “Project for a New America Century.”

Although Nick’s Paleoconservatism is not what most people consider to be classic controlled opposition, make no mistake. While we are tossing around the word “culture” of late, adding “cultural capitalism” and “cultural nationalism” on the radar screen with cultural Marxism, it can be said quite accurately that Paleoconservatism is a “cultural controlled opposition”.... a bit softer and more flexible perhaps than classic, but undoubtedly allowing the enemies of European peoples to act on key points.

EBL 31: Michel Foucault “The Birth of Biopolitics” (with Alex McNabb)

The EBL crew is joined by special guest Alex McNabb for a discussion of Michel Foucault’s 1978-79 series of lectures titled “The Birth of Biopolitics”. The crew examines facets of neoliberalism in the light of Foucault’s classic treatise

I stopped reading Foucault after the first book of his that I read, The History of Sexuality: The Use of Pleasure.

I was intrigued by the title, which indicated a classical Epicurean inquiry, a worthy avenue it seemed to me. However, except for the provocatively useful, but un-elaborated upon term, “bio-power”, there wasn’t much that i found to be of use in the text. On the contrary, I found him coming back repeatedly to the idea that (some) ancient Greeks (allegedly) considered homosexual pedophilia normal as transparent justification for his own predilection among this contextual relativization of history.

Even so, the term “bio-power” provides a clue as to an angle that can be used in inquiry and warning as to how it is that Africans can be a danger, i.e., not merely antagonistic, but having capacity, dangerous capability ...e.g., as a people some 200,000 years evolved prior to and thus compared to the precarious 41,000 years of European evolution.

There are several advantages to this angle which I will not elaborate on, but only add that it helps to mitigate against the Nazophiles who try to minimize black antagonism, looking upon themselves and their singular concern for the J.Q. as the ultimate in sophistication (and not naivete).

It also goes to show that sometimes a book a thousand pages long can be justified by one term or even the title.

While I had always meant to read Foucault’s most important books, Discipline and Punish and Birth of the Clinic for the provocative angles that Foucault takes on social problems, I never got around to it having been turned off enough by Foucault’s pedophilia apologetics and having read enough people quoting the texts to get the idea…

Josh Neal, Alex McNabb, Jefferson Lee and Thampster have a discussion in and about Foucault having apparently been provoked by the same term - bio-poltics/bio-power - and finding the same thing, the Foucault does not elaborate.

However, they have a decent discussion in and about what Foucault’s lecture on bio-politics does talk about - neo-liberalism…

....“the market (and its infamous ‘magic hand’) becomes the space of truth.”

....while the panel ventures some into Birth of The Clinic and Discipline and Punish.

Again, I’m not endorsing Foucault but he does provide provocative angles, prompting ways to think about power relations and their historical context in the determination of how social problems come to count.

The COVID Coup

And how to unlock ourselves.

by Angelo Codevilla for The American Mind, 17 July 2020:

Panicked by fears manufactured by the ruling class, the American people assented to being put essentially under house arrest until further notice, effectively suspending the habits, preferences, and liberties that had defined our way of life. Most Americans have suffered economic damage. Many who do not enjoy protected status have had careers ended and been reduced to penury. Social strains and suicides multiplied. Forcibly deferring all manner of medical care is sure to impose needless suffering and death. In sum, the lockdowns’ medical and economic dysfunctions make for multiples of the deaths and miseries of the COVID-19 virus itself.

Outside of the few who have gained (and are still gaining) power and wealth from the panic, Americans are asking what it will take to end this outrage—not to modify it with any “new normal” decided by who knows whom, on who knows what authority. Since no one in authority is leading those who want to end it, Americans also wonder who may lead that cause. What follows suggests answers.

What history will record as the great COVID scam of 2020 is based on 1) a set of untruths and baseless assertions—often outright lies—about the novel coronavirus and its effects; 2) the production and maintenance of physical fear through a near-monopoly of communications to forestall challenges to the U.S.. ruling class, led by the Democratic Party, 3) defaulted opposition on the part of most Republicans, thus confirming their status as the ruling class’s junior partner. No default has been greater than that of America’s Christian churches—supposedly society’s guardians of truth.

Truth

Truth Since obfuscation, pretense, and lies concerning the COVID-19 are the effective agents of the panic and of the seizure of arbitrary power, truth and clarity about it are the foundational requirements for escaping its effects. Here is a dose.

From early March 2020 on, the best-known authorities on epidemics—the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control—presented the COVID-19 respiratory disease to the Western world as a danger equivalent to the plague. But China’s experience, which its government obfuscated, had already shown that the COVID-19 virus is much less like the plague and more like the flu. All that has happened since followed from falsifying this basic truth.

Our “best and brightest,” at first having minimized fears of person-to person contagion during January and February, during which the disease spread from China to the West, then declared that the virus is unusually contagious, and posited—on zero factual basis—that it would kill up to one in twenty persons it infected—5% infection/fatality rate (IFR). Based on that imagined fatality rate, they adopted mathematical models from Britain and the University of Washington that predicted that up to two million Americans would die of it.

The U.S. Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) modeled the authoritative predictions on which the U.S. lockdowns were based. Its model also predicted COVID deaths for un-locked-down Sweden. On May 3 it wrote that, as of May 14, Sweden would suffer up to 2800 daily deaths. The actual number was below 40. Whether magnifying this falsehood was reckless or willful, it amounted to shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater. What justifies listening to, and paying, people who do that kind of science?

Establishing any infectious disease’s true lethality is characteristically straightforward: test a large sample of the population proportionately representative of location, age, sex, race, socioeconomic categories. Follow up with the subjects a month later to add up the rate of infections and learn the results thereof. Period. Today, we still lack this definitive, direct knowledge of COVID’s true lethality because bureaucrats have prevented widespread testing for the purpose of firmly establishing the one figure that matters most. That is because that figure’s absence allows them to continue fearmongering.
