Fall is in the Air

Fall, my favorite season, has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. Hurray! The weather is pleasant, there are football games, the cigars taste better, and my brain reactivates after the usual summer slumber. In the wider world, the new polycentric order moves forward. China actively formulates the 15th Five-Year Plan. Vladimir Putin just held his annual upbeat discussion with the Valdai Club. Yet Russia, China, Iran, and the rest must still pay close attention to that odd nation-shaped kind of place between Mexico and Canada. Amerika continues to be as strange and threatening as ever. 


The U.S. Department of Defense (aka, the Department of War) (aka, the Department of Incompetence) appears to have largely abandoned plans for a splendid new war with China—for now. One defeat at a time, right? As for NATO’s war against Russia, who really knows at this point? Perhaps the U.S. will leave the assorted chihuahuas of Europe to their demise. Or, maybe some combination of Tomahawks won’t do the trick. Nothing will work, and even the dunderheads in D.C. seem to accept the truth begrudgingly. Still, something tells me they’ll hang around and do as much damage as possible before taking an eventual exit ramp.


Meanwhile, Iran, Venezuela, and maybe even Afghanistan should look forward to a little more old-fashioned Yankee gunpoint meddling. The way the Department of Incompetence is positioning hardware and personnel, it very much looks like destabilization strikes are imminent against Caracas and Tehran. The U.S. national interests in both countries are clear: oil and energy with the former, and whatever “Israel” wants with the latter. Amerikans, this is what you get when you surrender your country to usurious con artists and Zionist lunatics. Something tells me that the adventurism won’t work out in D.C.’s favor, but still, friends in Iran and Venezuela, please stay vigilant and defiant. 


There’s also the endless Yankee support for the Zionists’ genocide of the Palestinians and the pursuit of “Greater Israel.” Sixty-six thousand Palestinians, most of them women and children, are already officially dead. It’s seventy-five thousand if the “missing” are included. And that’s probably a terrible undercount; the current estimates now include an upper bound of 680,000 dead. This will go down in history as one of the most horrible slaughters ever. 


History will not look kindly on the satanic perpetrators and enablers of the Gazacaust. Future chronicles will favorably remember the Resistance, both in West Asia and in the larger multipolar order. The Palestinians will be remembered kindly, lionized even. God forbid, if they are literally exterminated, then they will become eternal legends to overshadow the Spartans at Thermopylae, the holdouts at Masada, and the doomed denizens of Melos. 


Future annals will also likely carve out a special study of those most gullible and insouciant of all peoples, the Amerikans. Few will understand how such seemingly intelligent, well-armed, and allegedly Christian folks just sat idly, stupidly by and did nothing. And that leads me to a quick take on the nearly incomprehensible happenings on the Amerikan homefront.


For the life of me, I still haven’t figured out exactly what rules over Amerika. I know it’s a “what” and not a “who.” Whatever it is, and it’s probably demonic, has no use for free and happy Amerikans. They will be its final victims once all of the overseas madness fails. Donald Trump is no more in charge than his brainless predecessor, Sleepy Jo--


Wait a second! I just remembered that I have been reliably and repeatedly informed that “things have changed” in Amerika following the alleged assassination of a secular saint, diversionary gatekeeper, and hardcore Judeo-satanic apologist known as the “Man of Steel.” I think it was his Freemasonic circus ceremony, er, excuse me, his “funeral” that did it. Good thing too as it saves me from discussing the fate of the Amerikan people. I had suspected that they were being set up for permanent slavery or worse, but there’s no point in rehashing any of that. Few Amerikans care much about their future, and even fewer care abroad. 

​
Lastly, and ending on a high note, there’s the usual fall literature. For those who caught it, I hope you enjoyed my review of The Thorn and the Carnation by Martyr Yahya Sinwar. I’m in the middle of The Water Dancer, an unusually good novel by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, Episode I: Bad Boy by the base master of English novelization, Chris Orcutt, is coming early next year. I’ve already written my review of Bad Boy, so stay tuned. I’ll have a new novel out before too long, so there’s that. All of these books, by the way, carry important messages and lessons about life, death, hope, and endurance. When all else fails, there are always books. 

​
Deo vindice.

Precise and prescient, as always. Yes, as long as we have poetry and prose, we can direct ourselves to truth, goodness and beauty.

We are now in the window of opportunity for the useful idiots to come forth and lecture us about the great privilege and responsibility to vote. I confess that I still participate in this charade, albeit in absentee form from the comfort of home. I do so in order to cut off anyone who arrogantly inquires whether I "exercised my right." I also buy an occasional lottery ticket, with the difference that I am almost guaranteed a loser with it, while with voting there is no almost about it.

I am both saddened and surprised that you would use this forum to spout what is not only the rebirth of white-Protestant-European supremacy that has scapegoated Jews for centuries, but which is so obviously yet another "revisionist" history in support of barbarism and blaming the victim. You love to tie all evils to the "Yankee" mindset, however I was born and raised in the North and unlike you apparently, I was not taught to hate Jews. In fact as a young man, it was Jewish members of my immediate society that were my mentors and who rendered the most selfless support. Your post on this de dictated Southern blog shows a present-day continuation of the post 1915 KKK resurgence that should never be considered anything but the outpourings of ignorance and spiritual depavity.

Opposing the blood-thirsty Zionist regime in Israel (and its abettors in Washington, DC), does not necessarily make one anti-Jew.

I am well aware of this fact C.A., my reaction was to the reckless non-factual statement of deaths of Palestinians that is propaganda. This combined as usual with the admission of the barbaric killings of Israelis on October 7th. See:
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese suggested the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza war could be as high as 680,000, citing an unofficial study by two Australian academics. This figure is widely considered inaccurate by reputable sources, with credible estimates placing the death toll far lower.
Who made the claim?
At a UN press briefing on September 15, 2025, Francesca Albanese stated that "some scholars and scientists claim the real death toll in Gaza may be 680,000".
The study she referenced was reportedly from Australian academics Dr. Richard Hil and Dr. Gideon Polya and was also promoted by the Australian legal blog Sydney Criminal Lawyers.
Factual accuracy of the 680,000 figure
The 680,000 death toll is not considered credible by the UN, independent experts, or fact-checking organizations.
Key issues with the figure:
Contradicts authoritative counts: The Gaza Ministry of Health, a source widely viewed as a reliable wartime estimator by the UN and independent experts, has reported a significantly lower figure. As of early to mid-October 2025, the official Palestinian count was around 67,000 deaths.
Absurd population claims: Fact-checking organizations, like HonestReporting and Grok (an X AI tool), have pointed out the flawed methodology of the academic report. The study claimed 380,000 of the dead were children under five, but the total number of children in that age group in Gaza is fewer than that.
Vast overestimation of indirect deaths: The unofficial analysis assumed deaths from indirect causes like starvation and disease were multiples higher than direct violent deaths. While indirect deaths are a serious humanitarian concern that official counts miss, the study's calculation has been deemed an extreme and unreliable extrapolation.
Discredited by fact-checkers: HonestReporting called the analysis "nonsensical" and highlighted that the speed at which this false claim spread showed the dangers of mixing "shoddy analysis with social media use

Is it true that unarmed Palestinians have been routinely gunned down waiting in food lines? Or is that just more propaganda?

Wow, Perrin Lovett. I gave up on Ta-Nehisi Coates a long time ago. He is, after all, the recipient of a MacArthur Award and therefore a propped-up no-talent “talent.” I haven’t read his work in French, but what I read in English made me think that Ibram Kendi was a better writer. Still, if you’re serious, I’ll have a look at the recommended novel. Are you serious?
