I just saw something about some of America’s nuclear arsenal being technically impossible to update because either the drawings are unavailable or nobody is around anymore that knows the ins and outs of a particular weapon.

It’s the loss of knowledge thing straight out of Warhammer. And it’s all happening deliberately.

‘Bonfire of teenagers

Which is so high in May north-west sky,

Oh, you should have seen her leave for the Arena,

On the way she turned and waved and smiled ‘Goodbye’. Goodbye.

And the silly people sing ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’.

And the morons sing and sway ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’,

I can assure you I will look back in anger until the day I die.

Bonfire of teenagers,

Which is so high in May north-west sky,

Oh, you should have seen her leave for the Arena.

Only to be vaporised

Vaporised....

Go easy on the killer, Go easy on the killer

Go easy on the killer, Go easy on the killer...

(‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ by Morrissey). The song was written in reaction to the pantomime of state numbing that followed the 2017 Manchester Arena mass slaughter of the innocents. The bomber was able to enter the Arena when a young white British, minimum wage security guard felt too afraid to query the bomber’s huge backpack, for fear of accusations of ‘racism’. We can expect more such events, as lives are sacrificed across the board on the alter of diversity.

Don’t get angry about being raped, murdered and brutalised; sing stupid songs and light f**king candles ‘tO sHoW oUr SoLiDaRiTy WiTh ThE vIcTiMs’ instead... and the next time, and the time after, and the time after that...

This ridiculous pantomime act cuts me right down to the bone whenever we’re forced to endure it.

Me too, it makes me feel physically sick. The Nottingham attack in 2023, when the mothers of those two beautiful young people stood on a stage and came out with the same old platitudes, flanked by the mandatory Rabbi and Imam, was a new low. I have children and the thought of them being hacked to death by some hateful wretch...The media blethered their usual rubbish about quiet dignity but, honestly, the mothers looked to me like they just didn’t care. Almost a pathological reaction??? Quite bizarre. Don’t these people have a soul?

Expand full comment

I’ve thought as much myself about the reactions of these people.

None of the public statements of this nature strike me as being the words of parents - or even people close to the victims for that matter - who are devastated by their loss...

Even a good number of normies were astonished or disgusted by the parents’ actions after that particular incident and quite a few that said it was as though they were talking about a complete stranger rather than their child...

I know people react very differently to extreme, emotionally painful and traumatic situations, and I would say it is definitely possible to manipulate someone in such an emotional, broken state. Preying on someone who’s traumatised and devastated like that just to try and contain potential political fallout would make them as sick and evil as whoever actually perpetrated the crime in my opinion, but to get the same insufferable, hyper-politicised woke narrative every time the victim is white and the perpetrators not?

For the mere possibility of a potential ‘hateful’ violent backlash that hasn’t happened then or at any other incident prior, but could happen despite no evidence to suggest an imminent threat of such?

With almost word-for-word predictability?

Every time?

I can’t help but feel that at times there’s also something very much amiss...

Someone who has had someone else close to them get murdered, raped or brutalised in some horrific way and their first, most urgent priority is to make a statement condemning ‘hate’ that hasn’t happened - well it has as it’s the reason their loved ones are maimed or dead, but they obviously have an anti-white axe to grind - and how great and wonderful dieversity is, is either writing or speaking these words on behalf of the parents etc and in which case it is highly likely to be an invention of the speaker/writer.

If it isn’t and they actually do this themselves, well they clearly care more about the attention and their moment in the limelight, reinforcing the narratives of ideological dogma - or both - than they do about their children being murdered, and in which case they either must be mentally unsound or just very backward, cruel people.

It’s still an absolutely disgraceful display in any case!

Like the reaction of the “parents” after those fake mass-shootings in America. Makes you wonder.

I know, totally agree and beautifully put. It was interesting how the authentic reaction of the van driver’s relative (at the Nottingham incident) was immediately shut down and given no publicity on the media. He had to go on to Twitter to make his anger heard. PJW made an excellent video not that long after Nottingham, setting out how the government have a special department devoted purely to the management of such incidents. Get the anodyne relatives on board, gag any angry ones, astroturf a grassroots reaction - like the women getting those pathetic tattoos at Manchester and the weird guy in the crowd oh so suddenly reciting poetry. Manchester Arena, Tower Bridge, Nottingham and on and on. Same old reaction. Little wonder that some people have grown suspicious of the whole thing - James Delingpole has just interviewed Richard D Hall on his podcast, and he cites the inauthentic reactions of parents to the deaths of their children as cause to query what the hell is actually going on. Whether you agree with Hall or not, or just think he’s a crazy conspiracy theorist, it’s a very interesting conversation https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-delingpod-the-james-delingpole-podcast/id1449753062?i=1000641012041

Thanks! Now that you mention it, I do actually remember catching wind of the angry reaction - and silencing - of one of the victim’s family members in the wake of the Nottingham incident.

I watched that PJW video about that! The preemptive measures put in place to quickly take control of the situation before people get angry... I was thinking about that quite recently and even mentioned it briefly to someone, but I couldn’t remember the finer details of it or the source so I didn’t pursue the topic...

I actually thought it was Morgoth who unearthed that one (he might have actually mentioned it as well to be honest) and was trying to cast my mind back to roughly when I heard it to no avail; I’ll be looking that up to re-watch!

You mean those bee tattoos!? I remember someone saying what I thought at the time; why a bee though? I asked people and they didn’t know. I asked people who actually had them and they didn’t know either. They obviously just noticed it’s sudden ubiquity and followed suit the same way as they do every time those revolting ‘pride’ flags start appearing everywhere.

I’m sure that same bee drawing appears in Masonic symbology too...

Thanks for the link - I’ll give that Hall guy a listen to! Most of the time someone is labelled a ‘conspiracy theorist’, I bear in mind that the same sort of people doing the labelling also called people who spoke about grooming gangs conspiracy theorists as well...

Expand full comment

Yes, the bee tattoos! As you rightly say, people were getting them without understanding what they meant...I was living in South Yorkshire then, and had to travel to Manchester for work a fair bit, I saw those tattoos on people at the train station. It was surreal. The whole thing just confounded me - the appropriation of the Oasis song, a song that was a part of my youth in the 90s (which might as well have been life on another planet, it shares nothing in common with life in Britain now)...I hate that song now and cannot listen to it.

The whole thing was sinister and the participants displayed cult like thinking. Richard D Hall has questioned the whole Manchester event; he has also analysed the alleged murder of pro-EU MP Jo Cox in 2016 and, of course, the sinister parents of Madeleine McCann. Interestingly, the first time I ever saw parents reacting to their child’s death/disappearance in that dead-eyed, pathological manner, was the reaction of the McCann parents. They showed not one ounce of authentic despair or panic...Hall has interviewed Peter Hyatt, the very highly regarded behaviour analyst who is often used by the police in murder investigations and, like many of us including the Portuguese police, are convinced of the McCanns guilt

Grew up in Greater Manchester myself but have not been into the city itself very much; don’t even go to my local town centre anymore now either. The ‘urban vibrancy’ and ‘grey’ feeling of despair and disillusionment (what Morgoth did a belting job of explaining of explaining on his latest livestream - I knew I wasn’t going mental ofer the last few years haha) is just too much for my patience and my sanity!

I used to like that song growing up too; (born in 86 myself) even when it sort of became a cheesy, overplayed but feel-good song played at the end of the night and everyone would be up dancing to it or singing drunkenly along to the words.

Now I’m just immediately and forcibly reminded that psy-op and just feel angry - despite the contrary advice of the lyrics.

I thought the McCann situation was iffy too although I wasn’t completely ‘based’ or red-pilled at that time. What made me think was the sheer amount coverage it got and the constant drama surrounding it for such a long time. Any normal person would feel empathetic towards the little girl but eventually people’s otherwise kindly attitudes just became increasingly cynical; ‘if it was a poor family they wouldn’t give a f**k’ to ‘not this AGAIN!’ to ‘change the record already ffs’.

It was the sheer volume of ongoing media coverage that actually made me begin to change from tired disinterest to suspicion.

Dunblane is another incident that has a thick stench of conspiracy and foul play around it too. While a very tragic incident, it should have been a fairly straightforward case in terms of understanding what happened, yet some details of the case have been classified for a significantly long period of time - it’s been some years since I went down that rabbit hole - but I’m sure it’s a century before it becomes public domain.

Whatever has been classified has obviously been done to protect certain people’s reputations and personal safety from the public by ensuring they’ll be long-dead and thus safe from backlash before the truth comes out. From a darker perspective they might be satisfied that they’ll have wiped out the native population by then - same with a ton of other conspiratorial actions against the people and the nation - and transformed the country into something completely alien decades before that anyway.

I think it’s already approaching the brink of that now although whether it will pan out as they would like remains to be seen.

I’ve thought before that I would love to have a good old rummage around in their archives and unleash a veritable blitzkrieg of decades worth of truth-bombs on the public, but with a lot of people today I fear it would just be people like us who would actually even care though, and that most would just choose ignorance and go along with the usual nonsense charade.

The blatancy of the anti-white hiring can be masked to a limited extent by changing demographics, although not completely.

So what is the solution? Why are the middle class whites still cheering on mass immigration? How does brainwashing like this work so well? Does it work? Or do they just say nothing?

Why does no one ever discuss the insufferable arrogance of the new recipients of these diversity positions? Their sense of entitlement that companies, cultures and whole societies exist to satisfy some cosmic rebalancing, that we can never do enough to help them get on at our expense. Are we meant to just ignore the resentment driving this? The lack of gratitude? The belief this is all normal as we lose our place in the world?

What we're living through is the logical conclusion of Liberalism. The fact that it's incoherent and insane is because Liberalism itself is a fatally flawed ideology, much like Communism, except that it took over two centuries to find out.

A piece of paneling falling off in mid-air is probably one of the most embarassing types of failure, just because with respect to mechanical loads generally, in engineering such safety factors are used in the calculations that should effectively rule something like this out for good. Perhaps someone really did forget to attach half the rivets or more. Certainly the DEI agenda is very high on the list of suspects, but perhaps in addition to that aspect there is also the ongoing financialization of Western and in particular American industrial companies. For a person talented in science, there´s more money to be made on the finance track rather than in doing actual engineering work. From the point of view of management, it has become more about squeezing out the last drops of profitability by outsourcing and various esoteric financial shenaigans rather than anything "material" about the product. Of course, one could argue that this itself is the logical Faustian progression of increasing abstraction. It is not so long ago that Russian planes and carriers were considered much less safe than Western ones. Perhaps we will see the day when that general impression becomes the other way around.

It must have been in the late 90s or early 2000s when it was reported, according to my recollection, that the arithmetic mean of annual compensation at Goldman Sachs was $ 500 K (probably other Wall Street companies were not too far off that mark). Naturally, compensation would skew very much to the top, with top brass making many millions and the lower ranks having more "normal" salaries. Nonetheless, it was and is very evident that no classic industrial company like, say, Ford or GM could compete in terms of salary with the big hitters of Wall Street for highly talented people. Doing actual engineering work when that opportunity exists - which it often does, because finance firms like to hire people that studied engineering - then effectively becomes an irrational decision in terms of costs/benefits for the individual.

The lack of air traffic controllers is also a dire problem for this very issue. It's a critical and highly stressful occupation for not much financial incentive.

Jan 8Liked by Morgoth

It very much is the case, many air traffic controllers are overworked due to a staffing crisis caused by DEI and the Obama era transportation secretary, Michael Huerta changing the rules:

"...in 2014, the FAA ditched the AT-SAT – which it had used for decades – and told all the people who had scored 85 or better and were waiting for a job offer that they had to take a brand-new test, called the Biographical Assessment.

This was an online personality test of 114 questions. It asked such things as: The number of different high school sports you played. The number of college credit hours you had in art, music, dance, or drama. Whether you had a job in any of the last three years. It was graded pass/fail, according to mysterious, never-acknowledged criteria.

My guess is that if you played a lot of sports and took no art classes, you were more likely to be black, so you passed."

I would highly recommend reading this article to get the full picture of the crisis in US air traffic.

I see this myself, when I actually cared to properly invest in the market I was making well above market rates as you can often see pretty quickly the over hyped duds and weed them out if you have a technical knowledge (I was investing in mining and computer chips).

If I was at a bank with authority 10,000,000 I'd make far more than I do as an engineer but I'd go mad. I can garentee we have lost many a potentially good engineer to finance. The fact planes have hardly changed says it all and to me kills all the memes that skunkworks is still 20 years ahead of what we see (also look at the massive teething costs till this day on f35)

I work in finance (management consultancy).

We have indeed creamed off the brightest. Unfortunately, we put them to work doing the most socially and economically dangerous things. (Structured derivative products). This lasted for roughly thirty years.

The industry has now become the domain of DEI, where midwit infested HR calls the shots. The white mid-fifties men who were in charge are entirely cucked.

So now we face less chance of a spectacular blow up but we are in the alternative scenario which is we are in the middle of a slow burning competency meltdown.

Expect things to stop working, bit by bit. You’ll find interactions with banks ever more trying. Humans from banks will appear more and more uncomprehending of any situation and will talk at cross purposes with you. This has become the norm internally and is leaking out.

As a result and on the bright side it is looking as if CBDC may well be a competency stretch too far. Their are not enough white male nerds to make it work. We may end up using cash far more in decades to come.

A few years ago a Canadian train derailed. It was carrying a load of unrefined oil. Burnt the town down. The inquiry found that maintenance had been massively neglected because management had cut personnel to the bone in order to make big line go up on the spreadsheet. Wouldn't surprise me if the personnel responsible were also people of diversity but that would really just be the cherry on top, and equally attributable in the end to the parasitic financial/managerial class.

Expand full comment

Ultimately attributable, I would say. I am skeptical of the "emergent" hypotheses; for all of the talk of secretive technology in the black-budget world, it appears that nothing has been studied so seriously since the wars by the grey eminence as social and psychological praxis, and it seems to me that most of this mismanagement is actually management of scientific subtlety. It may be paranoid to think that it is mirco-managed by the same intent, but micro-management would not be necessary to a true mastery of social forces, having identified the few operative controls.

Finance is definitely a factor in Boeing's decline. Boeing used to be known as an engineering company, but they bought McDonnell Douglas which was better known as a finance first company. The management style of McDonnell Douglas won out in internal struggles and Boeing is now focused on returning profits to Wall Street instead of producing quality aircraft.

This was described in the book Flying Blind: The 737 Max Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing by Peter Robison. The DEI agenda works very well with financialization, as the DEI labor is usually cheaper than hiring white men. For example, the software of the module that caused two crashes from the 737 Max 8 was largely written by $11/hour Indian programmers. As a software engineer, I can assure you that paying those sort of wages will not attract any competent white men to do the work.

On the competence crisis, this essay was recently brought to my attention:

https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/why-is-the-west-so-weak-and-russia

The thesis is that general competence - the ability to think objectively in a broad range of contexts - is incompatible with ideological capture. Leadership requires both intellect and general competence, however our educational institutions have ceased to operate as an arena for the identification and elevation of those possessing these traits, but instead carefully filter them out in order to keep them from disrupting the ideological capture program.

It's dire but the one thing that makes me hopeful is that the enemy is increasingly clownish. They have deliberately filled their ranks with compliant idiots while pushing the competent outside the tent. Eventually the competent will simply seize control again. Hopefully before planes start falling out of the sky.

What seems to be happening in real time is a revolt of the renegade elite. Actors such as Musk or Ackman seem to understand the nonviability of woke, and are targeting it and its supporters for removal from the levers of power. Unlike the commissars these men appear to be highly competent. I fancy their chances.

As for the likes of us, I doubt very much they're our friends in the end.

Not to be the swivel eyed crank in this comment stream, but... whoever are the truly privileged actors of power, whom common sense would anyway suggest would not not offer themselves to public attention, they are intelligent enough to leverage a variety of implementation castes by their weaknesses, and that can give the impression of truly contradictory forces at play. That-tribe-so-financially-astute is wielded by banal reward and security, and fulfill their role with quiet efficiency for the most part. The middlebrow European gynocratic management class are moved by their neurosis and the fear of being cast out of comfortable prosperity, and fulfill their roles with embarrassing posturing coupled with plodding reliability. So it goes with the corporate psychopaths, compromised political actors et al; each has a characteristic manipulability and each a distinct character in operation, but each has a role they are fulfilling. I doubt it's going to become any easier to make out the true face of power any time soon, but perhaps it doesn't matter so much; if we recognise the quality of the forces we experience in the public world, we don't need to determine its source to adopt the correct attitude toward us, any more than we need to know the course and tributaries of a poisoned stream to stop drinking poison. I do think that a large, late crowd are going to finally recognise the taste of poison in the year to come though.

Il add this for you Morg, a poem that your piece reminded me of (copy pasted).

'I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The DEI/ESG/Affirmative action etc. policies at Boeing & subcontractors are more of a symptom rather than a cause. Not that I'm completely disagreeing!

I'd recommend reading David Gelles' "The Man Who Broke Capitalism" which includes a discussion of what happened when former General Electric proteges of Jack Welch started managing Boeing.

I think we will get as far as having to twerk in job interviews before any of this nonsense gets put away.
