Barroongate 2: Barroon Harder – How to miss Stationary Objects with Close Range Missiles

A while back the US Military heroically destroyed a balloon. First they talked about destroying it, then they didn’t. Then (((David Frum))) types began to bloviate about how intelligent it was to not destroy the balloon, so about six hours later they destroyed it. They’ve since decided that they didn’t look retarded enough, so it’s balloon popping time again.

ABC News:

Another high-altitude object was shot down Sunday afternoon, this one over Lake Huron in Michigan, three U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News, marking the latest in a string of such incidents.

The object was octagonal in structure, unmanned and traveling at about 20,000 feet, the official said. There is no indication of surveillance capabilities, but the administration cannot rule that out.

>High altitude
>20,000 ft

A senior U.S. official said this object, like two others recently shot down, is not at all comparable to a suspected Chinese spy balloon that was first spotted in late January.

Twenty thousand feet means that it’s obviously not a spy balloon. That’s just a run of the mill object. Maybe it’s a regular balloon that went way off course, but the entire point of a spy balloon is that it’s at high altitude. 

Well really, there’s not that much point to a spy balloon anyway. China has plenty of spy satellites that do the exact same task, but better. All of which lends credence to China’s claim that the very first one was just a weather balloon that went off course. This thing – and they don’t even say it’s a balloon this time – was at 20k feet, which totally rules out the spah barroon hypothesis. ZOG is just throwing a temper tantrum and shooting things down in the most embarrassing display of dick waving I have ever seen. 

“There is no sense they are anything but meteorological balloons or some sort of weather balloon, not spy balloons,” the official said. None appeared to have any payload; they are much smaller, and such vessels are known to go off course, according to the official.

 

It’s been difficult to write about this story, because it’s almost hard to believe that ZOG is this retarded. People keep grasping for straws, thinking this is here to play up support for a war against China or something. It’s tempting to look for competence but you have to remember that America is a second world country now, with plenty of retards of colour in all major military and intelligence bureaucracies. I think it’s much more likely that they saw some balloons veer off course and massively overreacted. Throw finklethink politics in there and any potential for an intelligent outcome was holocausted in the crib.

It’s also possible they were trying to do a gayop, and this was the best scheme they could come up with. In that sense it’s the Jussie Smollett of gayops. The reason it was so dumb is that the same people who came up with Nigerian KKK members came up with Barroongate.

NewsWeek:

Two AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles were used in the U.S. Air Force takedown of an unidentified object flying in United States airspace on Sunday, with the whereabouts of the first missile unknown.

But the F-16 jet tasked with shooting the object over Lake Huron on Sunday “missed on its first attempt,” according to Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson.

Citing U.S. officials, Tomlinson wrote on Twitter that a second Sidewinder air-to-air missile was required, and it is “not clear where the first missile landed.”

The cost of each Sidewinder missile is listed as “variable” by the Air Force, but a Newsweek estimate based on the defense budget for the 2021 fiscal year suggests that AIM-9x Sidewinders range between $430,818 and $472,000. The AIM-9X is the newest variant of the missile.

Guyz, we missed the balloon.

Remember my fighter plane series? I never quite finished it, but I’m proud of my analysis, and the very last piece is highly relevant. The faggots in the Military Industrial Complex claim that missiles like the AIM-120 have 90+% kill rates. Not just when fired in close, but from ludicrous distances of dozens of nautical miles when fired at maneuvering enemy fighter planes. But that’s the AIM-120, a long range missile with tiny little nubs for lifting surfaces. The AIM-9 Sidewinder is the close range Infrared missile. It goes slower, and has larger lifting surfaces, so it should have an even higher kill rate when fired in close.

For reference, the AIM-120 is above. The AIM-9 is below. 

Then they go and load up some F-16’s with AIM-9’s to shoot down the balloons, which are many times larger than an enemy fighter plane and are effectively stationary, let alone pulling 9G defensive turns. And they get far closer to them than they could reasonably get to a squadron of hostile fighters. 

Of the five missiles they have fired, four have hit the target. So their hit rate against gigantic, stationary balloons from in close is currently 80%.

I don’t want to rehash my work again, because I said what needs to be said. The reason why the Military Industrial Complex cries and shits their pants when people propose any sort of realistic testing of their claims is because they are full of shit. Taken in isolation, I’m not angry about one in five AIM-9’s missing stationary balloons. That missile flies at almost 1km/s. A tiny overcorrection can easily lead to the missile missing the target. I get it. Every now and then they malfunction. Fine.

What I’m mad about is parasites who claim ludicrous kill rates for missiles that have no relationship to reality, and the NPCs online who take this obvious bullshit at face value. I still have to finish my piece on (mostly fake) stealth fighters, but it’s the same garbage with them. Absurd claims of efficacy are used to justify holocausting the taxpayers wallet over and over again in a process that never ends.

But congratulations to the F-22 on its first air to air kills. Congratulations to Raytheon for managing to hit the stationary balloons almost every time. And good on the Democracy Class for lashing out like a toddler having a temper tantrum at random flying objects that can’t even be plausibly referred to as spy balloons.

Great job guys. Very smooth.

Chinese BalloonGate has Popped

BalloonGate is officially done. It’s over. We did it. The evil balloon is now as destroyed as the US Military’s credibility. We shot it down. We got him. And by him I mean the inanimate object that was just sort of floating around in US and Canadian airspace.

Here’s (((David Frum))), the propagandist most responsible for the Iraq War, with a piece arguing that the balloon should not be shot down. It went live moments before the balloon was indeed shot down. As always, just let his bloviation wash over you. 

The Atlantic:

No Need to Pop This Balloon

The Chinese spy balloon observed over Montana is not a new departure. It is a provocative measure because countries claim more rights over the lower atmosphere above their territory than they do over the space beyond that. But the balloon’s presence is not exactly a step on the road to World War III. In fact, this type of surveillance is much more likely to prevent, rather than provoke, conflict.

For nearly three-quarters of a century, U.S. policy has been to welcome mutual aerial surveillance as a way to keep the peace.

Which is why they shot it down after almost a week of whining about it being there…

Back in 1955, President Dwight Eisenhower made the first proposal for an “Open Skies” international accord on such inspection systems. At the time, the Soviets rejected the offer, but the concept was revived after the Cold War and blossomed into a multination agreement signed in 1992. The Treaty on Open Skies licensed signatories to conduct a certain number of overflights each year in order to build confidence in one another’s peaceful intentions. Donald Trump’s administration proceeded to cancel U.S. participation in the agreement after his defeat in the election of November 2020.

China never signed up to the Open Skies Treaty. An authoritarian state that is becoming more so by the year, China thinks it enhances its security by concealing as much information as possible from the outside world. The U.S. nevertheless runs information-gathering missions off the coast of China—and rightly took offense when China forced down a U.S. Navy surveillance plane and detained its crew in April 2001.

Every government must protect some secrets. But Eisenhower’s wisdom is worth recalling: Mutual surveillance is mutually reassuring.

Jaime, can we pull up that screencap of all the propaganda outlets celebrating the balloon being shot down again please?

Rarely do good surprises occur between adversarial nations. Communicating more, rather than less, is far safer. Let the Chinese balloon alone—the message it can send home is that, for the sake of peace, a return to open skies is in everyone’s interest.

Let’s check in on that whole leaving the balloon alone thing.

That video is annoying, since they don’t actually show the shoot down. This one, originally captured by Jeri Lyn Hartzog Ridgeway, a normal person in the area, does. It’s also interesting since you can see how short the AAM’s burn time is by the lack of exhaust after just four seconds or so. Indicates that it’s an AIM-9, something confirmed by other articles.

I really cannot stress enough how utterly stupid this entire affair was. The balloon lasted almost exactly a full week in US airspace. They were whining about it spying on nuclear secrets in Montana, but then “decided,” to not shoot it down. After six days of not shooting it down, the (((Frum))) types penned their cope pieces about how it was totally intelligent policy to not shoot it down. In fact, not shooting it down proves how superior the USA is to “authoritarian” China, and also Biden to Orange Faggot. You see, the thinking person’s military policy is to not shoot it down.

Then they went and shot it down, making everyone look incredibly stupid in the process. Also, the altitude of that balloon had to be much lower than anticipated, because if an F-22 can shoot a sidewinder at it then it’s not at 120,000 feet altitude, especially if it only takes eight seconds or so for an AIM-9 to hit. All of which makes me think that China may not have been lying when they said that it was just a weather balloon that got blown off course. I mean, it’s funnier if it was a spy balloon, I’m just not convinced that it actually was. 

“Intelligence recorded ‘invaluable'”. Lol.

China has a huge network of spy satellites, and no one has explained to me the propulsion mechanism on the balloon. It may have one, but I can’t see it anywhere. Now sure, China may have predicted the air currents and intentionally launched a balloon to go along a certain path. They may also just have had a rogue balloon. The funniest explanation is that they intentionally put a balloon over the US just to fuck with them, and are laughing at this retarded response. It’s what I would do.

It cannot be undersold how idiotic ZOG’s response was. They make a huge deal out of something that might honestly be just a weather balloon that went off course, and will provide little utility to China more than their existing spy satellites. They then realize that they might fail in shooting it down, so they create some copes about how the depopulated areas of Montana are too heavily populated to risk the imperceptibly tiny chance of collateral damage that shooting it down might entail. Then they cope harder about how actually, they’re just really smart for not shooting it down. Intelligent people understand that letting your enemies surveil you is great. You’re too dumb to understand why.

Then they shoot it down over a more populated area of Carolina, thus invalidating all their previous copes. And after shooting it down, they proceed to try some Amurica FUCK yeah propaganda, despite this obviously being an epic fail, since they waited an entire week before doing this and it’s a fucking balloon.

This is one of the most retarded events I have ever covered.

SHOCK: White Men who were Explicitly Racially Discriminated Against by RAF Working with Chinese Military now

Remember back when the English Royal Air Force openly stopped hiring White Men?

Well it turns out that some of them told the RAF to go fuck themselves right back.

 

Express UK:

Around 30 former RAF pilots have been lured by Beijing to coach Chinese aviators in exchange for reported salaries of up to £240,000. The Defence Intelligence service is putting out a “threat alert” to warn personnel against approaches amid fears efforts are intensifying as tension between theWest[sic] and China grows.

And Armed Forces minister James Heappey said the Government will make it illegal to work for foreign militaries once the alert is issued.

Mr Heappey said the situation is “deeply uncomfortable” but stressed approaches to pilots are not illegal.

Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Commons defence committee, suggested the 30 former pilots should lose British citizenship as they were “breaching the Official Secrets Act”.

It is thought China is attempting to modernise its military by driving standards towards those of Nato, with a strong focus on fast jet tactics and techniques.

Good for these Chads. It’s ridiculous that they were even allowed to do this, but you have to keep in mind that there needs to be exceptions for the military figures who want to give Yidsrael all of our military secrets. And since Israel sells our secrets to China, we can’t be getting too worked up over this.

Or at least we weren’t in the past. But now that the actual White Peasants are getting in on the action we’ve got to put the boot down. The military exists so that politically connected millionaires in the MIC can get their beaks wet, and jew nationalists can achieve their geopolitical ambitions through the jew ethnostate. The former don’t make money off of this, and the latter don’t gain anything from this, so we’re shutting it down. A serious country wouldn’t have let this happen in the first place, but come on now, who do we think we are?

Turns out the Xi Jinping Story was Pure Fake News after all

A few days ago I wrote about Xi Jinping allegedly being placed under house arrest while the Chinese Military poured into Beijing. I passed it off as probably being fake news, but I had to write about it just in case it was something more important.

Turns out that yes, it was fake news from the start, something my intuition told me, but which it’s nice to see confirmed.

I was very skeptical of the video that allegedly showed an 80 km long procession of Chinese Military hardware streaming into Beijing. It didn’t show anything approaching an 80 km long convoy, nor was there evidence that the footage came from Beijing, or even from this decade. There were other similar fakes, like the explosion “from Beijing,” that actually came from Tianjing in 2015.

Although that claim comes from someone with the tranny flag who calls themselves “LoliWifeGroomer,” so it’s not really clear why this was considered a trustworthy source even by the most braindead of QAnon types.

Some of the other accounts that got #chinacoup trending were some weird combination of QAnon and spam. It’s interesting to see the types of scams that are pulled on different groups, with this one obviously targeting Africans, so long as they speak English.

But in any case Xi Jinping is fine, and the people who bloviate about “fake news,” are totally fine with allowing this disinformation online. Remember, the only thing they’re opposed to is political speech that the ADL doesn’t like.

Supposed Coup Attempt in China Probably Fake News

I was informed earlier today by someone in real life that there was something very serious happening in Beijing. There were lots of conflicting reports, but the Chinese Military appeared to be involved, as did the CCP leader Xi Jinping.

One India:

The internet is abuzz with news about Chinese President Xi Jinping being placed under house arrest. Many Chinese social media handles have said that Xi has been placed under house arrest after the Chinese Communist Party seniors removed him as head of the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). Chinese netizens claimed that Beijing is under military seizure. Another report by News Highland Vision said that former Chinese president, Hu Jintao and former Chinese premier, Wen Jibao had persuaded Song Ping the former member of the Standing Committee and retain control of the Central Guard Bureau.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9ArxS7E2Og

Adding to these claims is this video I found from twitter which supposedly shows huge military hardware pouring into Beijing. It comes from this tweet, with the text being as follows.

#PLA military vehicles heading to #Beijing on Sep 22. Starting from Huanlai County near Beijing & ending in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, entire procession as long as 80 KM. Meanwhile, rumor has it that #XiJinping was under arrest after #CCP seniors removed him as head of PLA

I used to be a trucker, and it was very common to see US Military trucks refueling at one particular truck stop in Washington State. You’d also see them on the highways around that area, and there would usually be a few of them. The video above does show us a fair amount of trucks, but claims that it’s an 80 km long procession.

If it’s just a few trucks, then it’s much ado about nothing. If it’s really an 80 km long procession of military hardware, that’s quite the big deal. I can’t say which it is.

The Daily Beast:

There was a recent coup attempt in China, and Xi Jinping foiled it.

That was the message of Liu Shiyu, speaking Thursday on the sidelines of the Communist Party’s 19th National Congress in Beijing. “The central leadership of the party with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the core saved the party, saved the military, and saved the country over the past five years,” Liu, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said at the once-every-half-decade gathering. “He saved socialism.”

The above story is from 2017. I put it in to provide some context. Either there are some serious internal power politics going on in China, or there’s a track record of people bullshitting on this very same subject.

The Week:

Xi Jinping is widely regarded as the most powerful president China has had, if not the most influential leader since Mao Zedong.

In March 2018, the National People’s Congress, the country’s parliament, voted to remove the two-term limit for the post of president. The move meant that Xi could remain in power for life, instead of retiring in 2023.

However, even Xi appears to be facing challenges. Early on Friday, eminent strategic analyst Brahma Chellaney tweeted that a power struggle was brewing in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

And just to really hammer this point home, the above The Week piece is from October of last year.

Back to our One India piece from yesterday.

Reports also said that after Xi returned from the SCO on 16th September he was detained at the airport and most probably is currently being held under house arrest.

OneIndia was unable to verify this news and it appears to be a rumour. In fact the latest from China is that former Vice Public Security Minister Sun Lijun was given a suspended death sentence with no possibility of parole by a court in Changchun city, Jilin province.The China Central Television reported that he was found guilty of taking bribes to the tune of 646 million Yuan. He has also been accused of stock manipulation and illegal gun possession. A Bloomberg report said that the verdict underscores Xi’s willingness to take down high ranking party officials ahead of a key Congress where he is expected to secure a precedent breaking third term in power. During the October 16 gathering the party’s leadership will be decided for the next five years.

Xi Jinping

Adding to my own suspicion I haven’t been able to find any confirmation of this 80 km long military convoy. Remember, we don’t even know when the original video was taken, or where. My efforts to corroborate this brought me to some less than reputable sites, like The Watch Towers. On that site I found the following QAnon tier blurb.

Luckily, it’s fairly easy to check if Beijing airport has shut down, or at least cancelled a huge amount of flights. Their official website gives no indication of this being the slightest bit true, and I can’t find any independent story verifying this. It’s looking more and more like this is QAnon tier fake news, with my only real curiosity being whether this originated through Chinese social media, or here in the West.

But who knows, I can’t verify this one way or another, so maybe there really is something big going on in China.

Hollywood Continues Getting Cucked by Chinese Censors, and is a Have-HaveNot Hellscape Anyway

Not Film School:

Hollywood’s relationship with China has been on the rocks lately. Studios understand how important the global box office is to the success of their films, and one of the most important box offices happens to be located in China. But, due to tough censorship, many Hollywood films including Disney films, haven’t been able to satisfy the Chinese market. 

The American stories that are sent over to China have to go through the Communist Party’s censors to get approval to be shown in the country. Unfortunately, Hollywood has had trouble getting its films approved for Chinese theatrical releases as the country’s nationalism grows.

Now, China has asked Hollywood to improve the quality of their stories for Chinese audiences. 

Bloomberg reported that Sun Yeli, the vice minister of the Communist Party central committee’s publicity department, said, “We hope the quality of American films can continue to be improved on the basis of respecting our culture, customs, and audience behavior.” 

Let’s take a minute, and think about how worthless koshervatism is. What the communist Chinese have shown is that Hollywood can indeed be bullied into submission. But you have to use the government to crush them.

So Koshervatives get out there to fill the heads of the goyim with the ludicrous notion that using the government to crush the Harvey Weinstein’s of the World is somehow morally bad. But then they also go and constantly beat the drums of war against China for various bullshit reasons that have nothing to do with any of us.

Hollywood’s market share plunged to record lows last year as China moves to curb Western influence. 

As one of the world’s largest movie markets, China has been an important source of revenue for Hollywood. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood films make up 48.2%  of China’s box office revenue. However, the Chinese Communist Party has left American projects on the shelf in favor of patriotically themed Chinese pro. 

Free market economics do work in some small markets. They do not work in gargantuan industries like Hollywood, because these Schlomos end up controlling distribution. As a result, they dictate to the market what the market will like, not the other way around.

Hollywood makes trash that people don’t actually like or want. They totally exclude anyone with a message or voice at odds with Harvey Weinstein.

All of which brings us to our next article from the same site.

Not Film School:

The wealth divide is becoming more and more noticeable in L.A. There is a soul-crushing feeling that is already pushing down the incoming workforce, making it seem impossible for them to generate any substantial income if they don’t have family money to lean back on. 

Actors are not being paid as they used to be in the age of streaming. For example, the cast of Friends can live comfortably with the $20 million residuals they get each year for the show’s reruns while actors nowadays in streaming series cannot survive on residuals they receive for their shows. 

Defector reports, “[P]assive income, which is the real American dream, is no longer something that the actual artists—not just actors but writers and directors and everyone else who ever made a dime off of residuals—involved in the entertainment business get to enjoy.” 

Kelsey McKinney may well be right that passive income is the American Dream, but that’s another way of saying not actually having to work. How could it possibly be true that not working is the dream of people, when work provides most of our lives with so much value?

But then again, does it? Alyssa Miller, the writer of the piece above, says that there’s a “soul crushing feeling that’s pushing down the incoming workforce.” That’s very flowery language being used to describe mass immigration which destroys wages for the poorest in society, or at least the poorest who actually work. But beyond that, it makes people wonder what the point is in contributing to “society,” when it’s a bunch of kikes at the top and the brown masses at the bottom. Alyssa Miller and the rest of these kosher-leftists would of course never speak to that sentiment, but it’s shared by all of us, whether we are cognizant of it or not.

To put things in perspective, writers are paid less now than they were 50 years ago for the same work. Ernest Hemingway was paid $1 a word in 1936, which would be roughly $21 per word in today’s money. The novelist was a special case as he negotiated his pay, receiving double the average income of other writers, but he was able to live an incredibly comfortable life as a writer. 

The Freelancer, which defines itself as a “guide to the gig economy” maintains a database of rates received by freelancers. Today, the median pre-word rate stands somewhere between 76 cents and a dollar. The rates have hardly changed in almost a century, which is a massive red flag for artists. 

Ernest Hemingway

In fairness, Hemingway was known for having a very terse style, so paying him so much by the word wasn’t the worst thing you could do, and it’s potentially unfair to compare a very famous writer in Hemingway with the median freelancer. I was wondering why the woman who wrote this piece included that factoid, except that it’s not really true. A casual glance at the actual page she references 

 

The pay is quite clearly a great deal less than a dollar per word. The very last item on this list works out to just over 2 cents per word. Adjusting for inflation, that’s about 1/400th of what Hemingway was getting paid, and the only exceptions to this are highly technical writing, which should be thought of as almost it’s own thing separate from creative writing or even reporting.

Nevertheless, I can’t help but think that at least part of the low pay for writers is simply that no one cares. I covered before the precipitous decline in Netflix revenues and share price, as well as CNN+ being holocausted in the crib. Whenever the market has an opportunity to express itself, it’s resulting in people just saying no and not bothering to watch this drek. 

Some people in our fields are making very good money. But these people are not making the art. Their salaries are reported by the Hollywood Reporter. 

For example, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav made $246.6 million in total pay for merging Warner Bros. and Discovery. Disney Chair Bob Iger took home $45.9 million last year. We could go on and on.

Personally, I think that is a wild amount of money to give to people who cancel projects on a whim or have the power to remove work from platforms because they feel like it. 

Zaslav and Iger, eh?

Wikipedia:

Zaslav was born to a Polish and Ukrainian Jewish family [8][9][10][11] in Brooklyn, New York.

Following this, he graduated from Boston University School of Law with a JD with honors in 1985 and started his career as an attorney with LeBoeuf, Lamb, Lieby and MacRae in New York.[16]

David Zaslav

Wikipedia:

Robert Iger was born to a Jewishfamily in New York City.

What a total cohencidence!

Bob Iger

I’ve covered Bob Iger before. He’s one of these totally fake rags to riches story that sounds really inspirational until you realize he actually got where he is purely due to heebrew nepotism. That’s the way you need to interpret any puff piece where the writer is scratching their head, mystified as to how this man got put in charge of first Disney, and now, as of 2020, he has this vague position at Disney that appears to be some sort of sinecure that still has power.

Hollywood is a portal into the planned future. It’s a totally nepotistic place, where the goy children of some connected people can enjoy success gifted to them on a silver platter, and racially connected jews can enjoy collecting guaranteed paychecks while pushing their unpopular politics, all while presiding over an ever-Browning population that makes less and less money every year. And while all of this is happening, Koshervatives are there cheering it on, while being assblasted that China is actually doing something about it from thousands of miles away.

Conservatives do big Chyna Baaaad Push to Avoid Talking about Real Issues

I’ve come to have a great fondness for simply wrapping up a bunch of news stories in the same vein all in one piece of mine. It respects the time of you the reader, while also covering things that should be covered. Today’s episode is on the Chyna Baaaaaaad push that the antifa’s for Israel brigade, also known as the CPC, is doing to distract you from actual real politics.

True North News:

Conservative leadership candidate Scott Aitchison says if he’s elected prime minister, his government would establish official diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

“For the better part of 50 years, Canada’s and Western foreign policy was premised on the basis that increased trade and prosperity with China would lead to greater adherence to human rights and liberalization of communism’s harsh edges,” said Aitchison. “We were wrong.”

According to Aitchison, recognition of Taiwan and the establishment of diplomatic ties would strengthen the defence of freedom and democracy in the Asia-Pacific and around the world.

“Taiwan is an independent and sovereign country, a beacon of openness, democracy, respect for human rights, and a case study in the benefits of a market-based economy open to trading with the world,” said Aitchison. “It is time for Canada to finally recognize this reality.”

It’s like he’s playing buzzword bingo. Taiwan has the human rights freedom democracy market based sovereign beacon of openness, and you can too! 

Along with his commitments to Taiwan, Aitchison has also come out in strong defence of Israel, pledging to help counter Iran’s ongoing threats and move the Canadian embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital of Jerusalem. 

Well now there’s a real shocker. The Antifas For Israel support jew nationalism and the jew ethnostate. Who could possibly have seen this one coming?

True North News:

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may have attempted to spread disinformation about the Conservatives in the 2021 Canadian federal election in an attempt to influence the results of the election.

CTV news acquired an analysis conducted by Rapid Response Mechanism Canada (RRMC) a week before the election. Researchers found that Chinese-based social media apps were rife with CCP-backed media organizations spreading disinformation about the Conservatives.

Chinese social media platforms, including WeChat, Douyin, Weibo, Xigua, and Bilibili were subject to open-source forensic digital analysis using website archives, social listening tools and cross-platform social media ranking tools.

With the exception of WeChat, I have quite literally never heard of any of those. But apparently Chinese People in China said bad things in Chinese about the Conservative Party of Canada.

RRMC found that the Global Times, a CCP news organization, began reporting on the Conservative Party platform in mid-September.

The account of China’s state press agency on the platform Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, began to spread disinformation about the Conservative Party platform, saying that the Conservatives want to “break diplomatic relations with China.”

 

Ridiculous for those slanty eyed commies to think that! Conservatives only want to piss off China for no reason by supporting Taiwan in addition to kidnapping Meng Wanzhou and other Chinese People. You know, just like the Liberals and Trudeau. But Trudeau doesn’t go hard enough on this or something.

RRMC also found that some Canada-focused news accounts on the platform WeChat originated from China, but it is unclear whether or not they have direct links to the CCP as Chinese social media apps are not transparent. 

The China-based accounts began to speak poorly about the Conservative platform saying, “Chinese are frightened by the platform,” and questioned whether “Chinese compatriots should support the Conservatives if they use this rhetoric.” 

Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole told the CBC on a podcast that about 8-9 CPC MPs were denied their seats as a result of the CCP propaganda. 

WTF I love Communist China now. Good on them for ovening the koshervative electoral chances by pointing out that, while they refuse to do anything against anti-Whiteness, or even mass church burnings done as a result of a malicious and idiotic gravocaust slander, or anything related to groomer pedophiles mutilating children, they’re low IQ dipshits trying to start shit with a nuclear superpower. My hatred for koshervatives grows deeper and deeper with each passing day.

China Big Mad Over ZOG Sending Weapons to Taiwan

Russia Today:

The Chinese Army has vowed to take “effective measures” to prevent foreign meddling and attempts to establish the independence of Taiwan, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Tan Kefei said on Thursday in response to the US supplying weapons systems to Taipei.

“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, the Taiwan issue concerns China’s fundamental interests and does not tolerate outside interference,” Kefei insisted, adding that China’s army will take “effective measures to resolutely suppress any form of external interference and attempts by separatist forces to achieve independence for Taiwan, and will unwaveringly protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

The statement comes after China lodged solemn representations with the US after its announcement on Tuesday of the approval of an estimated $95 million military package to Taiwan – the third of its kind since US President Joe Biden took office – which includes “training, planning, fielding, deployment, operation, maintenance, and sustainment of the Patriot system, associated equipment, and logistics support elements,” as well as ground support equipment and spare parts for the missile defense system.

The Patriot missile system? That thing that’s built in America, but fails all over the world? I think the Chinese are looking for an excuse to get mad here. After all, $95 million isn’t all that much money. To you or I, yes, but to even small governments like Taiwan, no. 

Then again, it’s also not particularly important for the US or Taiwan either. That’s the thing about provocations. Often they’re unimportant shit like someone flicking some dust in your eye. Not life threatening, but it’s the thought that counts.

The warning from Beijing comes amid heightened tensions in the Pacific as the US and its regional allies raise fears that China, which sees Taiwan as an inalienable part of its sovereign territory, might take action to reunify Taiwan and mainland China, including “by force.”

NOTE: These are two Russian subs, a nuclear powered boomer on left, and an attack sub on right.

As if the US has any ability to “force project,” or whatever retarded buzzterms they’re using these days that mean “fight a serious war against China.” The Chinese have almost a hundred diesel-electric subs that have turned the South China Sea into essentially the world’s most dangerous minefield.

All of which assumes that the Chinese wouldn’t just be wrecking the USN fleet with airplanes launched from China. The distance between China and Taiwan is a bit less than 200 kilometers. That’s well within the ~500 km range of fighter planes, even without factoring in aerial refueling. How exactly is the US supposed to be “force projecting,” or doing literally anything at all if China invades Taiwan.

 

The US has no actual way of landing troops on a contested shore anymore. As Jeff Groom laid out in his book “American Cobra Pilot: A Marine Remembers a Dog and Pony Show,” the USMC’s entire mission is a joke. Their one job is to be landing infantry on contested shores and they can’t even do it anymore.

Marines on Iwo Jima. I didn’t want to show anything too grisly.

Way back in WW2, the Marines had these amphibious landing vehicles, the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT), that traveled at just about 12.5 kmph in the water. But they were dumped off about 500 meters from shore, really as close as the ship could get without beaching itself, so it only took a few minutes to get to shore. This was pretty good, since contested landing were, you know, contested.

LTV. Landing Vehicle Tracked.

The LTV was eventually replaced with a series of successors, culminating with the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) in 1972.

Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV).

This is a hugely improved vehicle. It can travel at a blistering pace of 13.2 kmph in water.

Yes, you read that correctly. The new ones were literally less than a single kmph faster than the old ones. But hey, speed didn’t really matter for the old ones, why should it matter for the new ones?

Except that after WW2 we saw the invention of the anti-ship missile. This caused the USMC to institute a new policy, where they required the ships that carry these AAV’s to unload them from over the horizon, which is about 30 kilometers. But… the AAV’s travel at just 13 kmph.

Yes, in order for the Marines to do an amphibious assault, they need to get in their little cuckboats and then chill for a minimum of two hours while they hope that they still somehow have the element of surprise over the enemy.

But then the USMC got really worried about anti-ship missiles, so they instituted a new rule where they would only drop off the marines from something like 150 km from shore. They would do this in the AAV’s that travel at 13kmph.

Luckily, they recognized that this was absurd, and that they needed a faster landing craft. So what they did was they created the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) that has a blazing fast swimming speed of… 12 kmph.

They literally made it slower. Here’s a fantastic excerpt from Wikipedia that actually mentions Groom, albeit from an article I’d never seen before.

Wikipedia:

In May 2018 a former Marine officer, Jeff Groom, published an article concerning the ACV. Both BAE System’s and SAIC’s ACV 1.1 test vehicles could self-deploy and swim from a ship in contradiction to General Dunford’s testimony in March 2015. However, there is apparently no longer a need for speed on water as both test vehicles move through the water at 7 knots using traditional water propellers, the same speed as the legacy 1970s AAV. The article questioned the acquisition decision of a vehicle that swims at the same speed as the vehicle it replaces, carries fewer troops and is more expensive.[24]

Take a look at this piece of garbage.

Good luck sneaking up on the enemy with massed attacks of these things. It’s been too long since I read Groom’s book, but he calculated that it would take something like 13 hours for you to finally reach shore in one of these things.

We’ve gone from a few minutes in WW2, to having to pack a goddamn lunch now. 13 hours is such a long trip you need to install some fucking toilets for the cucks as they make their way to their inevitable deaths.

Thirteen hours at sea puttering about at 12 kmph. Thirteen fucking hours. You could starve to death in that timeframe.

This is how parasitical and retarded the US military bureaucracy is. It’s pretty reasonable to demand the Amphibious Assault Ship* to drop off the cucklets from 30 km away. But if you’re going to do that, drop the idiotic amphibious tank idea, and just give them little rubber dinghies. The problem of transferring infantry to land has been solved many times over. It’s called just having a goddamn boat, and telling them that they’re going to have to use their legs after that.

*The Amphibious Assault Ship is the gigantic carrier. Basically like an aircraft carrier, but for these ships. Well, they also carry helicopters. 

LCAC

If you feel like getting fancy, the US Navy already has the boat for you, in terms of the Landing Craft Air Cushion. These have 4 turbine engines producing 4,000 hp, which is just atrocious fuel consumption. But in exchange for that, they’re fast, and they can carry over a hundred thousand pounds. That’s less than a single Abrams tank, but you could at least give the Marines some ATV’s to drive around in after they get to shore.

You could also do the exact same thing with the rubber dinghies the Navy Seals use. Just load a bunch of guys onto one of these. If you really wanted to, make a much bigger version that can carry a large ATV. Like, this is not an insurmountable problem if your goal is not to steal the taxpayers money, but instead to actually win wars.

As the US military fades in actual power, the privileged class becomes ever more delusional and idiotically aggressive. I can’t help but think that most of this propaganda is intended for domestic consumption. After all, if they keep sabre rattling with China, it might distract the goyim from realizing that China is already the world’s superpower.

Gooks Create Mercenary Army to Win Olympic Hockey Gold

Chicago Tribune:

NHL great Chris Chelios’ son is playing for China at the Olympics, though you won’t see the Chelios name on the roster.

Like other foreign-born athletes representing China at the Beijing Games, Jake Chelios will play under a Chinese name. In any official Olympic context, he will be Jieke Kailiaosi.

When I first heard about this story I thought it must have been either exaggerated, or through marriage. As in, these White Players have Chinese wives, so they get citizenship. Then, because they’re professional hockey players, they instantly become the best hockey players in China, and get to represent them. But that’s not what happened.

“My new name? I love it. It’s cool. It’s part of the experience. Since I’ve been over here, everything’s kind of new for me, and that’s the exciting part about playing overseas,” Chelios said at Saturday’s practice. “I know two or three words (in Chinese), but I took six years of Spanish in high school. I couldn’t even learn that, so I didn’t even try.”

Guy reminds me of a lot of guys I played hockey with. I can practically hear him say that.

Former NHL goaltender Jeremy Smith — who has his new name, Jieruimi Shimisi, written across his mask in Chinese characters — saw a move to China as a way to rejuvenate his career after 10 games with the Colorado Avalanche in 2017 and time with numerous farm teams.

In 2019, he signed with Kunlun Red Star, a Chinese-owned club playing in the Russia-based Kontinental Hockey League, as one of several North Americans who gave the team an experienced core and mentored Chinese players. Last year, he was asked if he would consider playing for the Chinese national team too.

Jeremy Smith also has no Chinese heritage. He is not married to a Chinese woman. Instead he just played hockey in China for a while. I personally think it’s pretty hilarious how China is building this mercenary army to win at Olympic hockey. If there was ever a year to do it, this is the year, what with (((Gary Bettman))) not letting NHL players go play in the Olympics. 

Honestly, even with these guys, Russia is the heavy favourite. They have by far the best players who stay in Russia versus going to the NHL. Adding some ECHL goaltenders isn’t going to do much to help China win gold, although they may pick up a game here or there.

The naturalized athletes come from a variety of origins. Unlike Chelios, many of them have Chinese heritage and see the 2022 Games as a way to strengthen a connection to their family origins. The most famous is Eileen Gu, on the Olympic program as Gu Ailing, a freestyle skier who has said she chose to represent China because she thought she could have a bigger impact as a role model.

San Fransisco born Eileen Gu.

Eileen Gu isn’t even 100% Chinese. She’s half White, and yet she chooses to represent China in freestyle skiing, and wins Olympic Gold. This is fantastic for us, since it shows what an absolute joke the United States is as a country. Everybody knows that a “multicultural,” country is nothing more than an worthless economic zone, and I’m almost as happy for Eileen winning gold as I was for the Taliban defeating ZOG militarily.

US Military Has Hilarious Third Failure of Hypersonic Missiles

The Drive:

The U.S. Air Force has failed for a third time to conduct a successful test of the rocket booster on a prototype AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon hypersonic missile, or ARRW. This can only add to the palatable frustration within the service, as well as elsewhere in the U.S. military and in Congress, about the progress, or lack thereof, in the testing of various new hypersonic weapons.

I used to be heavy into military stuff. Then I perhaps got a bit too heavy, and realized how utterly full of shit the Military Industrial Complex was and the whole thing lost its luster for me.

Ultra-Long range weapons are a classic example of MIC bullshit. First of all, due to the horizon effect, even if you are at 50,000 feet altitude, the distance to the horizon is just 275 miles. At 100 feet altitude it’s about a dozen miles. Anything that can possibly move, ships, soldiers, vehicles, or what have you, cannot possibly be found, let alone targeted from extremely long distances. The only thing that can be targeted from those distances are static targets, which means buildings, airfields, etcetera.

And yet, the only way to actually hit them is to use GPS guidance, which every single serious military has the ability to destroy in a myriad of ways, from GPS jamming to shooting the satellites out of space. These weapons can only possibly help against totally outmatched enemies like the Taliban. I’d remind everyone that the US military manage to lose that war.

You should keep that in mind if you ever read about “muh precision guided weapons,” or “muh hypersonic missiles.” There’s a 100% chance you’re being oversold, and an extremely good chance it’s just complete bullshit.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Command’s Armament Directorate confirmed to The War Zone today that another attempted ARRW flight test had failed on Dec. 15, 2021. The Air Force says that it has not yet determined the cause of the issue that led to the test being aborted. The prototype missile never left the wing of the B-52H bomber carrying it. 

And yet, the stupidity and pointlessness of the entire concept is overshadowed by the laughable execution. It’s like the F-35 program, only somehow worse. 

This comes some five months after the second attempt to conduct this flight test of the ARRW’s rocket booster. The Air Force deemed that test in July to have been a partial success, even though the rocket did not ignite as intended, because the prototype weapon separated safely from the B-52H bomber that it had been loaded onto and provided an opportunity to evaluate other aspects of the launch procedure.

The Air Force’s first attempt had come in April. In that case, as in this latest test, an unspecified issue forced the mission to be scrapped and the weapon remained on the wing of the B-52H the entire time.

The US Military everybody. Deeming a test a success because the missile managed to get off the rail… even though it didn’t ignite.

For people who know anything about the military let me just say that this is a level of incompetence that borders on thunderstriking. The US Military has now regressed to the point where having a missile fall off of a hardpoint into the ocean is considered progress.

I mean I know I just made that point, but it needs to be made again. Missiles coming off the rail is not exactly 2050 space age technology. We’ve been doing this since the 1950’s. I can sort of forgive the engine not igniting one time, but three tests and two of them ending in “sorry guys, but we fucked up the easiest part again”?

A third failure in a row for the ARRW program is undoubtedly troubling, even if some hiccups are to be expected in the development of any new advanced weapon system. “I’m not satisfied with the pace,” Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall had said about the testing of new hypersonic weapons, in general, at the Air Force Association’s annual Air Force Association Air, Space & Cyber conference in September. “We’re making some progress on the technology; I would like to see it be better.”

 

I’m almost too baffled to laugh. It’s like some twilight zone shit right here. And if any of you misread them, or are confused, they are incapable of having the missile fly off of the wing of a B-52, presumably at some altitude less than 50,000 feet.

And Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall is bloviating about “making some progress.” I’ll bet if a B-52 blew up on the runway he’d say the same thing.

Problems encountered in the testing of new hypersonic systems extend beyond the Air Force, too. In October, the Pentagon announced the failure of a test of a still unspecified hypersonic missile from the Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska on Kodiak Island. The U.S. Army and Navy are also set to begin tests next year of a jointly developed hypersonic missile that employs a different style of boost-glide vehicle from the one inside ARRW.

The Air Force, as well as other branches of the U.S. military, have repeatedly touted new hypersonic weapons as key to future warfighting plans, especially in potential high-end conflicts against near-peer adversaries, such as China and Russia. At the same time, Secretary Kendall had also said in September that he was “not satisfied with the degree to which we have figured out what we need for hypersonics — of what type, for what missions.”

Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall

Remember what I told you at the beginning of this article? They’re fucking up when making something that they don’t even know has any practical value.

It is nice to see them admit that they don’t even have a mission in mind for any of this garbage, even if it worked. The US Military already has ICBM’s. They have all same problems as these hypersonic missiles in terms of target acquisition and reliance on GPS. However, they don’t need the added complication of first having a B-52 in the area and an accompanying airfield. And since you can build up ICBM’s in peacetime, they’re easier to spam. 

Above are “boomers.” Submarines that carry long range nuclear missiles. They can patrol around the world for months on end, or even simply lie on the ocean floor, pop up through the arctic ice in a semi-random spot, and rain down up to 200 nuclear warheads on whatever target they’re firing on. They also need GPS guidance, but can be fired from essentially anywhere on earth that the submarine can safely navigate to, which is a more practical of a setup than having an entire airport big enough for B-52’s to take off from, and stocked up with huge missiles.

There are even dramatically smaller missiles, carrying nuclear and conventional payloads, that can be fired from some non-boomer subs. These can navigate close enough to use inertial navigation systems that typically have error rates of around 6 miles/100 miles traveled. Not great, but potentially good enough. So if you need non-GPS weapons, you can use that. Or you could use good old fashioned dumb bombs dropped from whatever aircraft you have in the area.

These hypersonic missiles just flat out do not fill any role that isn’t already filled by things that are better.

All of this also comes as China and Russia have begun to field their own hypersonic weapons and are continuing to develop additional types. China, in particular, has rocked national security circles with its reported testing of some kind of Fractional Orbital Bombard System that employs a hypersonic glide vehicle, which you can read more about here. North Korea also claimed earlier this year to have tested a ballistic missile tipped with a boost-glide vehicle.

 

Oh no, please tell me more about this Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. I’m sure it’s extremely practical and works very well.

“What you need to be worried about is that in the last five years, or maybe longer, the United States has done nine hypersonic missile tests, and in the same time the Chinese have done hundreds,” now-retired Air Force Gen. John Hyten, who was Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Defense Writers Group event in October. “Single digits vs hundreds is not a good place.”

Militaries serve multiple purposes other than actual warfighting. They serve as symbols of a nations prestige. Going to the moon didn’t have any valid military purpose, but it illegitimately furthered the international prestige of US soft power. If your flag’s on the moon, you need to be taken seriously.

A lot of these high tech “weapons,” don’t actually have real military value, but serve much the same purpose. China wants to be taken seriously, so they build supersonic missiles along with “Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems”. Russia wants to be taken seriously, so they do the same. The US military wants to be taken seriously, so they dilate their trans-vaginas and fail to launch a missile off the rail and that’s their version.

The practical military goal of all this comes easily secondary to national prestige. Building hypersonic missiles is a national achievement. So is making general scientific and engineering advancements. So is building big buildings, and nice statues.

If you have lots of high quality infantry, you can do colonial wars. If you have nuclear weapons and a blue water navy, you can be a terrorist threat to Uppity Nations. The latter is all the US Military actually is at this point. We’ve long since passed the point where they’d actually be any real threat to China taking over Taiwan, or whatever idiotic saber rattling you may be hearing about.

But you can do your part by laughing at them.
