  The Last Quarter Surfing, Getting Older, and the End of Western Civilization Kalihi Valley Druid How many more of these do we get? They say there are two distinct periods in life where you feel a noticeable physical decline. One comes when you are around 45 and the other arrives around 60. When 45 hit it was quite remarkable for me, especially because it brought the hard realization that I wasn’t going to be able to go out and fight the rip at 10 foot Sunset Beach forever. Then all of a sudden the old habit of thinking about my trail of mistakes and blown opportunities took on a whole new sting. It turns out there aren’t endless second chances after all, and the cruel joke of the universe dictates that by the time we get our first dim understanding of how the bigger picture works and are finally in the proper frame of mind to make something happen, the end of the tunnel is already coming up. These thoughts have weighted heavily on my mind lately, especially as I watch the years race

Why I have asked for my name to be   removed as a signatory to The Great   Barrington Declaration. I now believe it is part of the problem, not the solution. Jonathan Engler Like  Jessica Hockett 's post the other day ( here ) this isn’t likely to make me any new friends and is highly likely to result in me losing some of my existing ones. Well, so be it. I am not going to stand by while one humongous lie is allowed to become established just because people find the entire truth unpalatable, nor because of some misguided desire to coalesce behind “consensus” for tactical reasons. (Maybe my recollection is mistaken, but I am pretty sure that allowing a manufactured “consensus” to drown out all other viewpoints was what got us into much of the mess we are now in.) I just sent the email below to gbdeclaration@gmail.com (the only address I could find at  their website ). However, whether or not I receive a response is largely irrelevant as I don’t think the names (other than those on t

  How's That Israeli Plan Working? Mark Wauck Of course, everything could change overnight. That said … The plan has long been clear. In fact, it was clear about a year ago, come October 7th, when Israel allowed the Hamas raid into Israel to take prisoners to exchange for the thousands of Palestinians being held in inhumane conditions by Israel. The plan was to allow a slaughter of Jews that would inflame Western opinion to the extent that Israel would be allowed to ethnically cleanse—by whatever means necessary—all of Palestine. And then start carving out a Greater Israel with a push to the Litani River in Lebanon, through Hezbollah’s Shiite stronghold. Well, the best laid schemes of Zionists gang aft agley, and so they have done this time, as well. The rest of the world simply didn’t buy into the weird sexual atrocity fantasies so cherished by Zionists worldwide (and still propagated in the US by presidential candidates). That called for a slight modification of the scheme—gettin

  When Technology Starts Killing by Alexander Dugin Alexander Dugin Alexander Dugin argues that the mass terror involving technological explosions in Lebanon, orchestrated by Israel, highlights the dangers of unchecked digitalization and artificial intelligence, warning that Russia could face similar threats as technology increasingly poses risks to humanity. The situation with the explosions of pagers, radios, phones, and even home appliances in Lebanon has many dimensions. I will focus on the three most important ones. First of all, what happened is simply a case of mass terrorism carried out by the State of Israel. One might think that after what it has been doing in Gaza, nothing would surprise us anymore. But no, we were surprised. This act of mass terror was not directed against Hezbollah but against the Lebanese people in general: the thousands of exploding pagers, radios, and phones were also in the hands of children. Now, it is hard to speak of Israel as anything other than a
