This started off as a hilariously Red Pill reading of El Salvador’s recent crackdown on violent street gangs… pregnant girlfriends most affected… but it quickly diverged into a failed color revolution and a nation’s remarkably competent leadership breaking free of the banksters.

Let’s try that headline again.

‘It’s a war on the whores’: El Salvador’s mass arrests of violent young men send thousands of their lovers into despair

Only a few weeks ago, Sandra García was looking forward to the brighter future Nayib Bukele promised El Salvador’s opportunity-starved youth when he swept to power three years ago.

“I gave him my vote believing we’d have a better life,” said the 23-year-old, one of hundreds of thousands of young Salvadorans who chose the authoritarian-minded millennial as their president.

Bukele is only age 41.

El Salvador’s murder rate decreased to historic lows during Bukele’s tenure, falling by over 50 percent during his first year in office. Although Bukele attributed the decrease in murders to his deployment of thousands of police and soldiers to gang strongholds and an increase in prison security, his government has been accused by the United States of secretly negotiating with Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) to reduce the number of murders. Between March and June 2022, Bukele’s government arrested over 37,000 people with gang affiliations after a significant spike in murders, leading to accusations of human rights violations being committed by El Salvador’s security forces.

He’s getting good results AND the GAE accuses him of playing footsie with organized crime like it always does? I am already impressed with Bukele.

Bukele… has been accused of governing in an authoritarian manner. On 9 February 2020, Bukele was criticized for sending soldiers into the Legislative Assembly to encourage the passage of a bill that would fund additional purchases of equipment for the police and armed forces. On 1 May 2021, he led a move to fire the attorney general and five supreme court judges of El Salvador, which the United States Department of State and Organization of American States (OAS) denounced as democratic backsliding.

Authoritarian, maybe; anti-GAE, absolutely!

Following the approval of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador on 7 September 2021, protests against Bukele’s government took place.

Anti-GAE is CONFIRMED WITH AUTHORITY! He’s running the banksters out of town!

In February 2018, The Times of Israel published an image of Bukele “in deep reflection at the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City.”

He married Gabriela Rodríguez, a psychologist and educator, on 6 December 2014. In 2018, Bukele told the Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, that Rodríguez has “Jewish-Sephardic blood”.

Sounds like he had a smooth entry into the GAE… foreign-loyal, ruled over by his Jewess wife… whence the falling out?

In February 2020, Bukele wanted to secure a 109 million dollar loan from the United States to go to increase funding for the [anti-gang] Territorial Control Plan.

So far, he sounds like a typical GAE plant.

…On 1 May 2021, Nuevas Ideas made a coalition with three other political parties, gaining control of two thirds of the legislature. On the same day, the Legislative Assembly voted to remove the five justices of the Supreme Court’s constitutional court and Raúl Melara, El Salvador’s attorney general. The event has been condemned as a self-coup by opposition politicians, accusing Bukele and Nuevas Ideas of committing a power grab. The incident was condemned by the United States and has been cited as an instance of democratic backsliding.

It WAS a coup, obviously, but a nationalist one. Opening theory, Bukele is a skilled politician who saw a chance to help his nation AND secure himself in power at the same time… and to judge from the timing, that loan was merely a robbery of Wall Street to pay for the “regime change”! Methinks it ain’t gonna be paid back.

On 17 May 2021, the United States named five of Bukele’s ministers and aides as being corrupt… Following the report, the United States diverted funding to El Salvador away from government institutions, instead giving funding to civil society groups.

Color revolution INCOMING!

On 4 June 2021, Bukele placed Ernesto Muyshondt, who succeeded Bukele as Mayor of San Salvador from 2018 to 2021, under house arrest on suspicions of electoral fraud and illegal negotiations with gangs to gain votes for ARENA in the 2014 presidential election. Muyshondt had just been named by Luis Almagro, the General Secretary of the Organization of American States (OAS), as one of his anti-corruption advisors, and as a result, El Salvador withdrew from the Organization of American States’ anti-corruption accord.

Bukele nipped it in the bud. You rock, world’s coolest dictator. (His words, not mine)

End segue

Those dreams imploded when the man she planned to marry, Juan José Ibáñez García, was seized during of one of the most ferocious security crackdowns in recent Latin American history.

Two days later Ibáñez – who friends and family say worked in a local pizzeria and had no links to crime – was moved to a maximum-security penitentiary housing many of the 38,000-plus people the government claims to have imprisoned since the offensive began in late March. A fortnight later the 21-year-old was dead – one of at least 35 prisoners who have reportedly died in mysterious circumstances since Bukele declared a draconian state of exception supposedly designed to annihilate his country’s gangs.

He was a goot boy g’wan ta college.., who was inexplicably accused of being a violent ganger, then unnecessarily transferred to high security, where he still ended up dead in a violent confrontation that his dreamy-eyed girlfriend insists wasn’t his fault. Hmm.

Many of El Salvador’s 6 million citizens are delighted at the assault on US-born gangs, which have wreaked havoc since taking root here after the 12-year civil war ended in 1992. “He’s been rounding up all these scoundrels … we feel so much safer,” said Sandra López, 61, a supporter who attended a recent pro-Bukele demo in downtown San Salvador. Polls show Bukele has become even more popular since the state of exception started, with approval ratings of more than 90%.

That percentage seems legit, which is unreal and per the mathematical concept of regression, not going to last. I know my country exports many evils but street gangs surprise me. *checks* sigh, Drumpf Derangement Syndrome.

How the US helped create El Salvador’s bloody gang war

h ttps://www.theguardian.com/news/2020/jan/10/how-the-us-helped-create-el-salvadors-bloody-gang-war

In 2015, homicides in El Salvador rivalled the most violent peak of the civil war, and it ranks consistently among the world’s most violent nations…

The story of El Salvador’s gang problem is a study in shortsighted thinking – from governments in Washington and San Salvador, on both sides of the political spectrum – that has backfired disastrously. In his first State of the Union address, President Donald Trump railed against “the savage gang MS-13”, and called on Congress “to finally close the deadly loopholes that have allowed MS-13, and other criminals, to break into our country.”

The gang is the president’s favourite public menace to invoke in his bid to convince US voters that illegal immigration constitutes an urgent crisis and a threat to national security…

Obviously biased article is biased. What would life be like, if I lived among only people who thought like I did? Even here in the Manosphere and Dissident Right, we have many strong disagreements with each other. Yet we still hang out together and given half a chance, cooperate. Frankly, we’re the better off (and know it) because we challenge each other’s ideas.

Rather than a problem to be deported away, however, the reality of the gang is considerably more complex. Born out of the ecology of Los Angeles’s fierce gang warfare, MS-13 was founded in the 1980s by Salvadoran refugees who had been hardened in a brutal civil war still raging at home. In time, the gang expanded to include other nationalities, and it spread to other American cities. Today, in the US, it numbers no more than 10,000 members and functions mostly – its penchant for sensational violence aside – like an average American street gang, fighting to control neighborhood turf and local drug sales.

That is a lie. Living in Los Angeles and working for a utility company, I was assigned to gang territory specifically because I was white. All the white gangs had been persecuted into oblivion, thus… paradoxically… the barrios were safer for native whites than for the imported diversity.

The smug hippie liberal bubble boy writing this article has no idea how much violence overlooks him simply because he’s not perceived as a competitor.

In the late 90s, the Latino gangs of LA found an export mechanism: in response to MS-13’s growing clout and amid Bill Clinton’s immigration crackdown, the US began deporting foreign-born residents convicted of wide-ranging crimes. Thousands of convicts were sent back to the Northern Triangle each year – the neighboring Central American countries of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Among them were members of MS-13 and their LA rivals, the Eighteenth Street gang, or Barrio 18. In a region reeling from endemic poverty, wars and political violence, the struggle for survival and dominance of these Americanised gangsters produced a sociological phenomenon.

Export mechanism? Americanized? Screw you, bubble boy. I’m a Los Angeleno who lived what you described. Those murderers were imported specifically to murder. Ninety percent of the murders in Los Angeles, 90s-00s, were by illegal immigrant gang enforcers because they faced no punishment worse than deportation. Hell, the authorities would PAY for their return faster than the police could trace the bullets!

Thus did LA’s politics encourage the immigration of the most violent members of Central/South American gangs. Don’t blame Trump for pushing against that; it’s one of the things he did right despite you.

El Salvador had small, disorganised neighbourhood gangs before. But, according to a popular view in El Salvador, these mass deportations changed everything in the country. Many have come to believe that the US got rid of its problem at El Salvador’s expense. The state’s institutions had been gutted by conflict, poverty and corruption. The deportees came back from the streets of LA with tattoos and baggy clothes and brought along with them gang culture, urban warfare tactics and criminal networks from prison. The Salvadoran youths, a generation of jobless foot soldiers who made easy recruits, flocked to their banner. The maras have since drawn three generations into an escalating cycle of conflict that offers no easy escape. Today, the countries of the Northern Triangle, where the maras predominate, rank among the world’s highest murder rates and account for 75% of the migrants arriving at the southern US border. The maras, in this analysis, are the primary and most urgent problem facing countries such as El Salvador.

Which is it, you piece-of-shit Dumbocrats? Are illegal immigrants only coming here hoping for a better life, or is El Salvador the murder capitol of the world because Trump sent them back?

El Salvador’s government and its law enforcement have been quick to support this view. According to Salvadoran government numbers, there are 60,000 gang members and some 10% of the population are dependent on or otherwise tied to the gangs – in a country of just over 6 million.

Bukele imprisoning 30,000 suspected gangers is reasonable given that context. And no, it’s not America’s fault if we return the criminals. At least, not the ordinary Americans.

There remains the GAE, that vast, institutional evil that has organized this massive migration. You don’t really think all those poor people are traveling to USA on foot with no supplies, do you? No, the effort is well- and internationally-coordinated, and the media is careful never to discuss HOW they’re getting here.

So far as the headlines tell you, migrants just appear at the border, shoeless and hungry.

But the crackdown has been a nightmare for the hundreds of women who have been sleeping rough outside La Esperanza [prison], desperately seeking information about loved ones arrested on vague charges.

Uh-huh. Bucky Beta doesn’t have any woman (mothers excepted) holding a candlelight vigil for his release just outside the prison gates. For weeks.

“This isn’t a war on gangs, it’s a war on the people,” seethed one woman from the city of Santa Ana who was looking for her brother and asked not to be named.

Further up the street sat a woman in even greater distress. Mari Hernández said her partner, Saul Gómez, had worked at a sugar-grinding plant until police arrested him at their home in late April.

“They said it was an order from the president that people should be brought in whether or not they were criminals … and that if they didn’t detain him they’d be arrested themselves for not following the law,” claimed the pregnant 24-year-old.

Pregnant and not married? I thought El Salvador was Catholic. I bet 90% of it is… the 90% glad to see the government ending those up-to-fifty murders per day.

Police don’t arrest people “just because” during a major operation against specific targets. I’m not saluting them or anything, just pointing out the obvious fact that they don’t have the spare time to fool around for no good reason in that situation.

The officers told Hernández her 25-year-old partner would soon be free – but five weeks later he remained behind bars while she was two weeks away from giving birth.

It is not difficult to understand why the authorities are eager to depict El Salvador’s violence as the original sin. Doing so has allowed the Salvadoran regime to blame the cause not only on a gang culture imported from the US…

Per Wikipedia, Bukele went on record on Twitter not wanting his people to leave for USA. He’s not upset that some of them are coming back.

…but on often simplified notions of crime that have little to do with difficult and costly political solutions.

Hehheh. “‘Lock ’em up’ doesn’t work because it’s too simple a response! We need a political solution! Specifically, a regime change to somebody that Creepy Joe Biden says is okay!”

And in case you weren’t already thinking CIA:

Bukele declared his “war on gangs” on Sunday 27 March after an explosion of bloodshed shocking even for a country that until recently was considered the most violent on Earth. El Salvador’s murder rate has plummeted since the populist took power in 2019 – allegedly thanks to a secret pact with leaders of the Mara Salvatrucha gang. But on the eve of the crackdown – in a wave of attacks seemingly calculated to puncture one of Bukele’s key claims to success – 62 people were murdered in a single day.

“That Saturday was just horrifying … I told my kids not to go out because things were really messy,” said Jorge Beltrán, a crime reporter who has covered the gangs for more than two decades. “Once, on the most terrible day, there were something like 50 [murders]. But 60-something? This had never happened before.”

One body was dumped at the entrance to Bukele’s pet project: a resort town nicknamed Surf City with which the former advertising executive hopes to boost the economy and rebrand El Salvador as a tropical paradise for sunseekers and cryptocurrency fans.

“It was a huge blow to the president’s public image – and image is so important to him, that he needed to come up with something that had never been done before,” said Tiziano Breda, a Central America analyst from Crisis Group.

Immediately before implementing something that had obviously been planned in advance, “street gangs” attempted to cripple El Salvador’s tourism industry in a way that would make Bukele look weak. Then a globalist NGO claimed that the subsequent, planned crackdown is only because Bukele is protecting his ego.

Three things to know about Crisis Group:

1. It’s headquartered in Brussels
2. To “prevent war”, which is a euphemism for preserving the international status quo and
3. Its CEO is a Kenyan named Comfort Ero.

Closer to ego than eros, I would guess.

Bukele’s “something” was a state of exception that was immediately approved by the parliament his party overwhelmingly controls.

So much for Crisis Group’s theory that Bukele was protecting himself.

The results have been jaw-dropping, with more people arrested during the last two months than in the whole of last year – most of them young and underprivileged men and women whose names and photographs are splashed across state media each day. “It is really, really stunning,” said Breda. “This is an all-out, nationwide operation to capture anyone who may have or has had any relationship to gangs.”

Wow, a high-level politician is taking risks to defend his nation’s national security and people. Jaw-dropping indeed!

The tourism minister, Morena Valdez, celebrated the crackdown during a visit to Surf City, where an international surfing competition was taking place. “For the tourist sector it has been a boom,” Valdez said.

Tourism is up! Murder is down! This is a problem because it made the people love their leader!

Yet critics see the state of exception as the latest phase in El Salvador’s march towards tyranny under a messianic leader who has already amassed huge power and sarcastically calls himself “the world’s coolest dictator”.

I’m sure Bukele is no saint, but he might just be… indeed… the world’s coolest dictator.

Because in addition to securing a nationalist government, at GAE’s expense no less, then heading off a retaliatory color revolution, then cracking down on street gangs that GAE has begun funding instead of his government… guessing that latter from GAE’s projection, constantly accusing Bukele of allying with organized crime… and then giving the ultimate F-U to GAE banksters by taking his entire economy Bitcoin, Bukele is proving to be way more interesting than all the single suits of North America combined.

He’s actually doing stuff. And the popped cherry on top, is all the unmarried skanks crying that her lover is now rotting in a prison cell.

We should do something about that.

Methinks that the next great advancement in criminal justice, will be when we start going after the bad guys by going through young women outside male authority.

Maybe civil-rights protections should only be for men? Women will either enjoy those protections by proxy, by belonging to a man, or police can check up on her at will to determine who she’s texting all the time.

I bet we could end the drug war by declaring a War On Skanks instead. The benefit of the drug war has always been 1. the ease of prosecution for possession, plus 2. the people who deal drugs tend to be criminal lowlifes in general.

Nailing them for fornication instead has… possibilities.

 

Even if the circumstances of the Uvalde shooting itself had been insufficient, the aftermath confirms it as a Deep State operation. While calls for moar ghun lawz are typical, some Swamp Creatures have been entirely too bold with the Narrative for it to have been unplanned.

Swamp Creatures such as Axon Corp. CEO Rick Smith, nursing a serious case of MIC envy.

Firm proposes Taser-armed drones to stop school shootings

h ttps://apnews.com/article/technology-politics-artificial-intelligence-shootings-c0aec08034ed89e8f6c935c189106f65

By Matt O’Brien and Michael Balsamo, 3 June 2022

Taser developer Axon said this week it is working to build drones armed with the electric stunning weapons that could fly in schools and “help prevent the next Uvalde, Sandy Hook, or Columbine.” But its own technology advisers quickly panned the idea as a dangerous fantasy.

From zero to Dilbert in one paragraph!

The publicly traded company, which sells Tasers and police body cameras, floated the idea of a new police drone product last year to its artificial intelligence ethics board, a group of well-respected experts in technology, policing and privacy.

Some of them expressed reservations about weaponizing drones in over-policed communities of color. But they were not expecting Axon’s Thursday announcement that it wants to send those Taser-equipped drones into classrooms to prevent mass shootings by immobilizing an intruding gunman.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Axon founder and CEO Rick Smith said he felt compelled to make the idea public after the mass shooting at an Uvalde, Texas elementary school, saying he was “catastrophically disappointed” in the response by police who didn’t move in to kill the suspect for more than an hour.

I feel like I’ve seen this movie before. Hmm… “Dick, I’m VERY disappointed” or something?

Axon’s stock price rose with the news. But the announcement angered members of the ethics board, some of whom are now likely to quit in protest.

I HAVE seen this movie before!

It was only a matter of time until the MIC started asking what it could do about the problem of school shooters. Other than, y’know, ending child genital mutilation and related psychosexual experiments in the absence of fathers.

“This particular idea is crackpot,” said Barry Friedman, a New York University law professor who sits on the Axon AI Ethics Board. “Drones can’t fly through closed doors. The physical properties of the universe still hold. So unless you have a drone in every single classroom in America, which seems insane, the idea just isn’t going to work.”

Dude, don’t say things like that to weapon manufacturers.

Friedman said it was a “dangerous and fantastical idea” that went far beyond the proposal for a Taser-equipped police drone that board members — some of them former or current police officials — had been debating in recent months.

“We begged the company not to do it,” Friedman said of the company’s announcement. “It was unnecessary and shameful.”

The product idea had been kicked around at Axon since at least 2019 and the company has been working to try to figure out whether a drone with a Taser was even a feasible idea. Over the last year, the company created computer-generated art renderings to mock up a product design and conducted an internal test to see if Taser darts — which transmit an immobilizing electric jolt — could be fired from a flying drone, Smith said. He added that he had discussed the possibility of developing such a product with the ethics board.

“And they said no but I went public anyway because…”

…he stressed Friday that no product had been launched and any potential launch would be down the road. The idea, he felt, needed to be shared now because of the public conversation about effective ways for police to safely confront attackers and how schools can increase safety.

Because sales. He’s manufacturing demand with which to override his own ethics board.

“This is an idea that should get into the public’s consciousness while our minds are open to it…” he said.

THAT

CROSSED

A

LINE.

Axon just went Skynet AND Clockwork Orange simultaneously.

Board members who spoke with The Associated Press said they were taken aback by the school drone proposal — which they got notice of only earlier this week — and cobbled together a unanimous statement of concern that described Axon’s decision as “deeply regrettable.” The company tweeted out the board’s dissent shortly after its own statement Thursday announcement.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if there were resignations,” said another ethics board member, Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington. “I think everyone on the board has to make a choice about whether they want to stay involved.”

Friedman and Calo both described this week’s process as a sharp turnaround from the respectful relationship that Axon executives have had with the board in recent years on controversial topics such as face recognition — which Axon decided against using in its body cameras — and automated license plate readers.

“Sometimes the company takes our advice and sometimes it doesn’t,” Friedman said. “What’s important is that happens after thoughtful discussion and coordination. That was thrown out the window here.”

Smith said the company is still in the very early phases of product development and would continue to consult the ethics board, along with law enforcement officials, community leaders and school officials. He acknowledged that the company might later determine that the idea isn’t feasible and abandon it.

The ethics board has been telling him No for over a year and he’s still pushing it. The Enforcement Droid program won’t be abandoned.

But he took issue with the idea that he had ignored the concerns from the ethics board, which is meant to provide guidance and share feedback. Ultimately, the decision still falls to Smith as the company’s chief executive.

“I have not ignored what they have said. People can have debates and disagree,” Smith said. “I think there is one thing the world can see: our [ethics] board is not a whitewash.”

“I hope they don’t resign,” he added.

The derp is over 9000!!!!

On Friday in an “Ask Me Anything” chat on the online forum Reddit. Smith acknowledged that “drones in schools can sound nuts” but went on to answer detailed questions about them. They could travel through school vents, he said, and perch on doors and walls near ceilings. It could be a “good thing” if a gunman tried to shoot one down because it would distract from trying to kill people.

“We’re doing this because we care,” Smith said. “We’re a business so ultimately we have to find a financial model that works, but at the end of the day we’ve been successful because… we solve problems we care about,” he added.

The only ways that could sound worse is…

Smith told a Reddit user that Axon was “absolutely not” trying to capitalize on recent tragedies to attract investors.

…baldfaced lying to 4chan, which TOTALLY won’t come back on him…

He noted the advisory board’s disagreements but said the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas — and what he described as misguided proposals to arm teachers with guns — compelled him to go public with the drone idea to field a “far broader array of voices.”

…and wanting to arm drones because the alternative is arming humans.

Hello, Skynet. Imagine your children playing in a school playground, patrolled overhead by taser-equipped drones ready to “incapacitate” any of them who behaving in a threatening manner.

In fact, don’t imagine. Smith wrote a graphic novel about it.

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/taser-maker-axon-proposes-shock-234035489.html

“I am done waiting for politicians to solve the problem. So we’re going to solve it,” Smith said. “We’re going to do this.”

Smith has promoted the idea for years, even including it in a graphic novel, “The End of Killing,” that shows a drone zapping a gunman rampaging through a day-care center. And in a question-and-answer session on Reddit the day after the announcement, Smith said that he knows the idea might “sound nuts” but that it offers some benefits over “today’s solution” for responding to shootings: “a local person with a gun.”

The shock drones, he said, would be installed in ceiling-mounted “launch stations,” like smoke detectors, and be shielded to prevent “kids throwing stuff at” them. Schools, he said, could install “simple, low-cost vents” above doors to allow the drones to fly into locked rooms, though he also acknowledged that idea could raise “some fire code issues” related to smoke ventilation.

The drones could fire a payload of up to four shock probes more than 40 feet, he said, and deliver a sustained current of electricity to incapacitate an attacker long enough for people nearby to kill them or take their gun. The drones would be small and hard to shoot at, he wrote, and “after running out of darts, we could ram the drone into someone to physically distract” them.

Here’s a link to that “End of Killing” graphic novel. I post two pictures of it here: one is that just-described system taking out a child at a school, and the next, just a couple pages later, is the same system taking out a jihadist in Syria. Smith intended from the beginning for this drone to be dual-use, just like ED-209.

How could this system NOT be designed to pacify a target population?

Schools or police agencies, he said, would pay an estimated fee of about $1,000 a year per drone, and the company would sell them only in markets where “they would not be used abusively.”

Fuck drones, this guy figured out how to predict the future! Oops, no, he’s just straight-up lying to us and not caring if we notice. What’s the truth, then?

“Once we get the bugs worked out on a captive civilian population, we can resell the system to the military where the real money is to be made.” Signed, Dick Jones of Omni Consumer Products.

The Federal Aviation Administration in 2018 banned anyone from flying a drone with a dangerous weapon attached. But Smith said such “legal limitations” could be resolved over time; Taser weapons and body cameras, he noted, had also been illegal in some states before Axon had started marketing them.

Laws are only for little people!

In the Reddit session, Smith was asked how he would handle pushback from parents not wanting flying shock machines near their children. “Many parents would likely find this situation more comfortable than an armed guard stationed at the school,” he said.

Not including the parents he was talking to, apparently, but haters gonna hate.

…The response on Reddit was scalding. Some commenters worried that the drones would be misused to punish students, break up fights or police protests, or that they would lead to unintended consequences, such as more people getting shot after the gunman was shocked.

My thoughts exactly. School authorities aren’t going to buy this system and then not use it until they’re forced to. Not when total control of their psychosexual-experiment subjects is so tantalizingly close.

And not when the drone maker needs test data to gain the Pentagon’s approval.

Wrote [one participant], “We sure do love addressing symptoms instead of root causes don’t we.”

Word.

I am Christian but my blog discovered reincarnation. Now that it’s past the first couple baby steps, here’s what happened… appropriate for Memorial Day weekend.

I blogged on the Gendron mass killing, as is typical for my true-crime interests. As part of that, I made the Gendron manifesto available on my blog. All the mainstream media outlets were talking about it but not offering it. That is the laziest and most obvious form of deception, when I get to tell you about something that you don’t get to see for yourself. We cannot be a free-thinking society if people are denied access to source materials, it’s that simple.

That being said, it was a 29MB pdf. I almost balked at the size but muh principles. Besides, experience with previous manifestos predicted modest interest. So I put it up, went to bed, and next I logged in, it had been downloaded well over 1,000 times.

Uh-oh. That was way over 30 gigabytes of traffic in 12 hours on a usually quiet blog. That’s how a guy gets flagged for review.

Damage done so I hoped for the best. The download rate dropped quickly… bless you, American attention span… and my next couple posts went up as normal.  No complaints or takedown requests.

Alas, it was not to be. WordPress pulled my blog, notified me that it was invoking the at-will termination clause of the service contract and refunded my money.

Well, I ain’t the first blogger to get deplatformed for no given reason and I feel oddly pleased that they paid me to go away. Always thought they’d accuse me of being too Christian for their own good. This site still uses their software to keep the learning curve down but has a different host. Look for me on Gab if this one goes down, too. I started an account there to check it out, no activity yet… Gab isn’t set up for long-form blogging of the sort I do but joining that community looks like a good idea.

About my old blog. I kept it backed up but failed to import it here. Not that I tried hard. My archives were rarely visited aside from a few specific posts. So, as a rainy day project I intend to make some “Best Of Blog One” pdfs. That’s better for archival purposes anyway. No need to cross-reference XML files with a media library.

My whitelist moderation will be going up in a few days. If you comment now then you’ll be grandfathered in.

Postscript

There’s being a cluster of mass killings in the news. There’s a strong pattern emerging of known mentally ill/Marxist weirdos suddenly buying guns then going on sprees. But more than that, these weirdos had been successfully detected as potential threats a year or so prior, then no action was taken.

1. Known to authorities for psychosis/instability.
2. No history of gun ownership. Sudden purchases of firearms immediately before the incident.

Suspicious. Especially the Asian shooting.

CA church shooter is Chinese national who hated Taiwanese, authorities say

h ttps://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/05/ca-church-shooter-is-chinese-national-who-hated-taiwanese-authorities-say/

Authorities believe the suspect behind a deadly Sunday shooting at a church in California is a Chinese national who acted out of hate for the church’s Taiwanese congregation.

The Associated Press reported that at a Monday press conference, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said the suspect, identified as David Chou, was a Chinese immigrant who acted out of a grievance against the Taiwanese community. The gunman killed 52-year-old congregant Dr. John Cheng and wounded five others during the shooting at the Geneva Presbyterian Church, where the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church meets.

Barnes said Chou, 68, of Las Vegas, Nevada, drove to the Orange County church where he was not a regular attendee. Barnes said the suspect fastened the church doors shut before he started shooting and brought four “Molotov Cocktail” incendiary devices with him during the attack.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer also said there’s abundant evidence that the suspect “had an absolute bias against the Taiwanese people, its country, as a Chinese or mainland national.”

That motive is a lie. Random killing sprees are what Marxist-indoctrinated whites do, not Chinese. China has persecuted Taiwanese dissidents in USA, to be sure, but never by killing spree. (Using allies in American government is far more likely.) Also, Las Vegas is a world away from Orange County. I could accept if he had a specific grievance against a specific Taiwanese person at that church but no potential name has emerged.

Also and most critically, the Donbas conflict is about to be clinched as a victory for Russia. GAE needs a new war soon and has already made direct threats against China. Wouldn’t it be useful if a Chinese national suddenly murdered a bunch of Taiwanese right about now?

Congregant and witness Jerry Chen told the Associated Press about 40 churchgoers had gathered in a fellowship hall for a luncheon to welcome their former Pastor Billy Chang, who had served their church for 20 years before moving to Taiwan two years ago.

Chen said the people at the church were mostly retirees and were an average of 80-years-old.

Politically motivated mass murder is almost universally a young man’s decision. People that old are very rarely motivated by ideology.

Barnes indicated one piece of evidence suggesting the gunman’s alleged anti-Taiwanese views, a letter left in his vehicle describing “his hatred of the Taiwanese people.”

I’d love to see that source because “I am loyal Chicomm. I go murder innocent Taiwanese because I want American people to hate China just in time for next wave of planned American government sanctions” is pure Clown World.

A neighbor who knew Chou said the suspected gunman had recently become homeless after he was evicted from his property, and said that he believed Chou was struggling with mental health issues and problems receiving government assistance, according to a video from Fox 5 Las Vegas.

Despite being elderly Chinese instead of young GAE, Chou fits the pattern of being previously known by government as problematic. Various sources such as

h ttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-17/hate-against-taiwanese-led-to-church-attack/101073638

…say the mental health issue in question was a traumatic brain injury Chou suffered while evicting a tenant in the four-unit apartment complex that he owned. Chou was also a licensed armed guard, which is proof of his having no violent past before the injury.

Authorities said during the news conference that Chou has a wife and son who were both living in Taiwan. Chou has one family member living in the United States, officials said.

That’s a reason why Chou would NOT go around killing Taiwanese. It would expose his family to hardship, even danger.

Wait a minute… Chou is Chinese, his family is Taiwanese and he didn’t get along with “Taiwanese”? Is he… divorced?

Jerry Chen told the LA Times congregants did not recognize the gunman. The newspaper reported church members greeted and welcomed Chou into the church. Chou told them he had been there several times before, but doubted his words because none of them recognized him.

Authorities later determined Chou did not have any connections to the church. Barnes said Chou may have selected the church because it was the closest Taiwanese church in proximity to his home in Las Vegas.

This doesn’t sound personal and I cannot confirm divorce but guess what? Going back to that ABC.au reference above…

Mr Chou’s hatred toward [Taiwan], documented in hand-written notes that authorities found, seems like it began when he felt he was not treated well while living there…

[A neighbor said] Mr Chou had been a pleasant man who used to own the Las Vegas apartment building where he lived until February.

Records showed the four-unit property was sold last October for a little more than $500,000.

Mr Orellan said Mr Chou’s wife used money from the sale to move to Taiwan.

Chou hated living in Taiwan but his wife cashed him out to move back to Taiwan? Leaving Chou homeless in her wake? Maybe I was right the first time and this WAS a personally motivated attack. Even if he didn’t know the specific victims.

Chou was avenging himself by proxy on his disloyal, mercenary Taiwanese wife.

How did I get on this topic? Oh, right. My blog was Canceled for talking too much about mass killings.

I gotta be me.
