This would not happen in Western North Carolina. Governor Stein has two dogs in the Governor’s mansion and sometimes walks them. Since no governor ever comes to Western North Carolina, the coyotes would not to discriminate between a worthless carpet bagger and a chicken.

Natural Law is the eternal, unchanging law of nature itself, the principles that govern all life when free from lies, distortions, ideology, or subversion.

Natural Law declares that strength prevails over weakness, the capable rise over the incapable, and hierarchy is inherent in every living system. Hierarchies are the natural order of all beings. The strong lead, the fit survives, the talented create, and the race advances through this natural selection.

Every organism in nature is always fighting for its survival and
reproduction. Nature does not reward equality, it rewards ability, effort, and adaptation. A race that defies these laws weakens and dies.
Natural Law as the foundation of all true order.

We do not invent these principles. We understand and obey them.
Our people are subject to the same natural laws as every other living thing: the strong guide the weak, the fit reproduce, the capable lead. This is not cruelty; it is the way of life itself. When we align with Natural Law, our race grows stronger and healthier.

We reject liberalism, which forces artificial equality where none exists and punishes strength to prop up weakness. We currently find ourselves in a system that embodies total inversions of Nature. The end stages of liberalism attempts to assert that a man can be a
woman. We see in our politicians that we are “led” by those of weakness and cowardice. This system is unsustainable and anti-Nature. You cannot rebel against Nature, as Nature corrects rebellion eventually.

Roth Note: Now tell me what’s wrong with this.

Imagine that you share a ride to work with the same colleague most mornings. As it passes by a license plate reader, the camera records the car, which can be linked through vehicle records to its registered owner. Beside it, another sensor detects signals broadcast by devices traveling nearby, such as your phone and your colleague’s smartwatch.

After enough trips, software may treat some of those devices as a recurring electronic signature associated with the vehicle. Weeks later, one of the same device signals appears alongside a different car connected to an investigation. The signal itself may not contain its owner’s name, but its previous association with a known vehicle gives investigators another clue they can use to work out who was carrying the device.

SignalTrace, a system marketed by the security company Leonardo, is designed to work alongside automatic license plate readers. The company says it can recognize groups of consumer devices that regularly move together, then associate them with license plate records and time-stamped locations. The pattern can then be searched even when a police investigator does not know the plate number.

Turn your damn phone off, leave it at home, smash it with an anvil, whatever. If you must carry it, put it in airplane mode, turn off your location services, sign out of your google account and then stuff it in a quality faraday bag. Resistance is NOT futile.

Unless of course you LIKE being spied on and tracked by private companies and your government, which of course is only here to help you.

Oh, and if you’re worried about someone not being able to find you in case you drive off the road and down an embankment, I have a better idea… take an advanced driving course and keep your eyes on the road.

… how many of these have one now.

Roth Note: I will suggest that there is no perfect government system. We’ve discovered that the system the Founders bequeathed to us was not sustainable over time. That said, I’d like to propose some aspects of a system that I think could work. I’m going to offer it up in parts so that the reader can consider and comment on each. I’m especially interested in comments on problems the reader might see in each part.

Assume Nationalism means the nation is a racial community.
We are a people bound by common blood, ancestry, history, and future
destiny. This is in line with the etymology of the word “nation”, stemming from the Latin ‘natio’, meaning race, tribe, or people.

A true nation is not merely an idea that anyone can join. It is the natural expression of a racial folk who have lived, worked, and defended the same land for generations. It affirms that our people are a racial collective, and that we must have racial sovereignty over our lands, governed and led by the best of our own people.

This blood is the foundation of our identity, culture, strength, and right to exist. Everything we are stems from our blood. Loyalty to the nation begins with loyalty to our blood. We reject liberal “civic nationalism” that dissolves blood ties through mass immigration and multiculturalism and attempts to convince us that a foreigner can ever be of our kind. A nation without its blood is a house on sand, over time it degrades and crumbles. We must guard and advance our blood above all. When blood is rooted and united, the nation endures and prospers.

Our race is the living foundation of everything we are, and everything we will become, and must be protected above all.

Roth Note: Now tell me what’s wrong with this.

At a recent speech Ukraine’s former Commander-in-Chief Valeri Zaluzhny made a stunning admission.

He stated that over the course of the Ukrainain conflict, Russia has managed to turn every single Western wunderwaffen or “superweapon” into useless junk:

His actual words in detail:

“By the time of 2026, Ukraine had already deployed every single type of weaponry—except perhaps for Tomahawk missiles, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and F-35s, as well as applied all of NATO’s highly complex operational doctrines…

And all the available resources have now been completely exhausted. Russia has managed to find a specific countermeasure to every one of them.”

He goes on to give an example, where the HIMARS system was initially a surprise success that, according to him, single-handedly enabled Ukraine to liberate the Kherson region in the fall of 2022. But only a single month later, he says, the HIMARS was rendered completely useless.

His words:

“Exactly a month later, [the HIMARS] were turned into a completely pointless thing, that’s simply impossible to use.”

Note in particular the part of the statement which flies most under the radar. Not only the weaponry was entirely nullified by Russia, but NATO’s “highly complex operational doctrines”.

In recent weeks, Russian tanks have finally been spotted shipping from Uralvagonzavod, as well as on the front, with the mythical Arena-M system, in development for a long time. Russian news had been reporting that the upgraded new versions of the Arena system, called Arena-M, would begin being installed on various tanks from as far back as 2023.

The system works by having a small millimeter-wave doppler radar which detects incoming projectiles and then launches a hard-kill countermeasure that is timed and fused to explode near the tank which showers the incoming projectile with shrapnel.

The 82% claim stems from a disputed calculation in the Shimabukuro study, focusing only on completed pregnancies within a short follow-up window rather than all vaccinated cases, a point long noted in analyses of the original data.

Did you know that the Vatican was named after “Vatika,” the goddess of the underworld?

Vatica is the archaic Etruscan name of a goddess associated with death and the underworld. She is likely a specific manifestation of the Etruscan goddess of death and the underworld, Vanth. While Vanth’s domain extended across a vast area of ​​the Etruscan realm, Vatica’s sphere was presumably the large burial ground on the hillside of the very area where the Vatican stands today. It is assumed that she was the spiritual guardian of the tombs located there.

In fact, the name “Vatican” is a true mystery. It has no connection to the Bible, the Greek language, or Latin. Like many other Christian traditions and customs, the name we associate with the center of the Catholic Church most likely has “pagan” origins, tracing back to the Etruscan language and, perhaps, to a goddess. The Etruscans did not bury their dead within their city walls. Instead, they built cemeteries outside their settlements—such as the large burial ground on the hillside outside an ancient city in the region that would later become Rome. This necropolis, and all those buried there, may well have been under the special protection of the goddess Vatika.

The Vatican and the Vagina

Vaticanus—the term for the burial hill and, by extension, the name of the goddess of death and the underworld—evolved over time into Vaginatus. This brings us to the vagina—not an unusual association for a goddess of death, given that many cultures and spiritual traditions held the view that, upon death, humans return to the womb of the Great Mother, the entrance to which is, of course, the vagina. The Altes Museum in Berlin houses a ceramic mask of an Etruscan goddess—possibly Vatica. This finely crafted ceramic piece may have served as a door ornament or a tomb decoration. A striking feature is the diamond-shaped symbol on her forehead, which is interpreted as a vulva. Intriguingly, the term “tika” also refers to the various auspicious marks Hindus often wear on their foreheads, directly over the third eye. Especially among women, these marks often take the shape of the paisley pattern—itself a symbol of the vulva. Such tikas are believed, among other things, to foster powerful visions; they are also associated with prophetic dreams, including those experienced during near-death episodes. It is also interesting to note that some Hindu monasteries are known as Vatika.

A Bitter Grape Variety and Prophetic Visions

Vatika also lent her name to a bitter grape variety that grew on the Vatican Hill. Farmers used it to produce a cheap wine; when consumed alongside an herb of the same name, it induced hallucinations. It is quite possible that the underworld goddess’s oracular priestesses on this hill experienced “prophetic visions” under the influence of these substances. In any case, it was this specific quality that led to the word’s adoption into Latin. The Latin verb vaticinor means “I predict” or “I prophesy.” Since the Church Fathers preferred to keep the original Etruscan linguistic root—which points to a goddess—under wraps, reference is instead made to a later transformation of the word, claiming that the name “Vatican” derives from vaticiniis ferendis (meaning “making predictions”). One can only speculate as to whether the Pope or his staff derive inspiration from the influence of Vatican wine. It is interesting to note, however, that the English word “vat” refers to a large tub or barrel used for storing liquids (such as wine). This raises the question of whether the chalice containing the sacramental wine in St. Peter’s Basilica is filled with hallucinogenic Vatika wine.

Centuries after serving as a necropolis, this hill in Rome became the site of a circus whose main attraction was the stoning of people.
According to legend, Saint Peter was executed there—crucified upside down—and buried not far away. Emperor Constantine established a shrine on the site when it was already known as Vatican Hill. Some centuries later, the Papal Palace was built there; thus, the Vatican—a word of Etruscan origin associated with a pagan goddess—gives its name to the heart of the Church.

From Moon of Alabama

U.S. media claim that Iran has set out new conditions to solve the conflict with the U.S. But the new text it has published is just a repetition of  clauses the U.S. had already signed on to.

On Saturday Iran published ‘new’ demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz:

[Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr] said the US should observe the six following conditions:

“1. Never, and in no language, threaten Iran or insult the sanctities of this nation.

2. Permanently end the war and aggression against Iran and Iran’s allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq.

3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran.

4. Pay in full, without any reduction, the damages caused to Iran by the two wars of aggression and imposition.

5. Lift the unjust and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation.

6. Unconditionally release the blocked and stolen assets of the Iranian people.”

These demands seem to have confused U.S. observers. The Wall Street Journal claimed (archived) that these were somehow more harsh than those which had been previously issued:

[..] Iran insisted Saturday on its highest price yet for permitting the free flow of traffic in the waterway, seeking billions of dollars in U.S. payments, the removal of American troops from the region and an end of the U.S. naval blockade, among other things.
…
“Iran’s recent hardline demands for reopening the strait make it increasingly difficult for the president to manufacture a face-saving off-ramp from the conflict,” said Mona Yacoubian, director of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.

The WSJ author and his ‘expert’ are mistaken. There is nothing new in the Iranian demands. They are direct repetitions of clauses laid down in Memorandum of Understanding which the White House had negotiated and President Trump had publicly signed.

… and from Zerohedge …

Iran’s IRGC is holding the line, reiterating that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to international shipping only after the United States accepts all of its conditions, which we outlined previously. Also, on Saturday Iran’s army spokesman Amir Akraminia statedthatIran’s new protocols in the Strait of Hormuz are “irreversible” and shall not be thwarted by the US. “The United States has no choice but to accept the existing situation; otherwise, it will incur costs far greater than those it has faced in the past,” Akraminia said. 

Trump should have listened to the non-interventionists and he wouldn’t have put himself and the American people in this mess. American troops would not have been caught so flat-footed and directly in harm’s way (given what was clearly lack of proper US military planning and preparedness for Iran to fight back as fiercely as it did), and hundreds of Iranian civilian lives – including massacred schoolgirls – would have been sparred.

Roth Note: Looks like even Trump’s option to ‘declare victory’ and simply walk away has now been removed from consideration by Iran.
