Megan’s website. On her Twitter profile, Megan linked to this angry homewrecker post, possibly by Nina (Richard Spencer’s wife): “Megan Bobonick, the daughter of Jeanne and Mark Bobonick (Schererville, Indiana), is a PhD student at Lewis University in the Chicago area. Doing graduate research on politics, this year she has been contacting numerous men pertaining to her sphere of research, often engaging in flirtatious behavior with them on public social media. I can only imagine what went on in private with many of these men, considering that one of them was my friend’s husband. He was away on an extended business trip. Megan took advantage of this. Being fully aware that he was married with small children, she aggressively pursued him anyway. Half-naked selfies, secret meetings at hotels, you name it. I suppose it is not surprising that a nearly 30-year-old woman unable to find herself a husband of her own would be so desperate as to go after someone else’s man. Truly pathetic! I think my friend can do a lot better and needs to kick this cheating liar of a husband to the curb! But what boggles my mind even more is that this woman is supposed to be an objective researcher aspiring to be a university professor. Not only is her behavior immoral, but it is highly unprofessional and unethical. Megan Bobonick is better suited working on the side of the road at night where she can fully pursue her “hobby” rather than in a respectable workplace.”

Buddy says:

Have you and KMG ever done an episode on the Dreyfus affair? Seems like he’d have interesting stuff to say and it seems very relevant now… these mail bombs appear to be dividing people similarly. The anti-Dreyfusards did nothing wrong!

It took me time to acquire a taste for KMG cuz he has an affectation of know-it-all that offends Gen X sensibilities. But I like him now. But I also liked last night’s show. If KMG would agree to it, invite a third and sometimes wen fourth voice with the understanding that Kevin steers the macro conversation. He has good solid takes, and can prevent idiot takes. But it would be asking him to make room in the front seat for someone to sit in the middle. Just my two cents—don’t even mean it as a critique. Like I said, I’ve learned to enjoy Kevin now so no change is also fine. Godspeed.

I liked what you said in your car stream. If I were you, my goal would always be to see the viewer numbers creep up without, as you said, compromising too much on quality… so I don’t know. There’s probably a ceiling like there was for John McGlaughlin. But if you could get to 300 live viewers somehow, the money would come easier (?).

I mentioned Dreyfus because I’m fascinated by the breakdown of (so much!) accumulated credibility among the press. Isn’t it amazing to watch conservatives — even MAGA normies — just immediately reject the pipe bomb narrative? It actually kinda makes me nervous. The NPC meme too — I worry that there’s some projection happening among our guys. But the historical challenge now is to see who can re-establish that forfeited credibility.

The breakdown of the gentile mindset is kinda scary. Hearing Aurini & even Kevin & Brundle talk about Civil War makes me nervous. Maybe I should get a gun? But, you know, Jesus wouldn’t carry one.

The Elections

From the thread on Steve Sailer’s blog:

* The Democrats really want to shoot themselves in the foot by making this an election about migrant rights and transgender locker rooms, but the Republicans keep trying to hand the Democrats the bread and butter issue of health care.

* Trump has managed to get the Left to come out against the flag, the national anthem, defending America’s borders, due process of law, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, Kanye West, and now being a nationalist.

Is there anything this man cannot do?

Give him a few more months and I legitimately think he could get them to come out against Mom, baseball, and apple pie.

* Actually stop migrants at the border without letting them apply for asylum?
Pull our boys out of Middle Eastern wars?
Sink the fledgling Chinese navy and destroy the bases they’ve built on neutral/contested lands?
Convince US businesses and our political allies to stop treating the Chinese as anything other than an oppressive dictatorship?
Declare Taiwan an independent nation and US ally?
Repair our relationship with Russia?
Push Merkel out of power in Europe?
Reverse the power dynamic with Saudi Arabia?
Balance the budget?
Start decreasing the national debt?

* He kept us from entering the Syrian debacle and has made a peace deal with North Korea, and has slowly drawn down our involvement everywhere.

* Sam Francis used to claim that the Dems were the evil party and the GOP the stupid party. I am beginning to think he had it backwards.

If the GOP holds the House, they will owe it to the visuals of this “caravan.” How can the Left be so stupid as not to know that these visuals would play badly in middle America?

* I’m really hoping for a Trumpian Triumph in November.

However, I’m going to call the election against both sides.

Democrats will be devastated when they don’t take control of the Senate. The smart money says that the Dems have a good chance of flipping the House, but I’m going with my belief in Trump mojo to say that they won’t. They will howl, sulk, double down on dismissing deplorables, wear pussy hats while eating pints of Rocky Road, etc.

People who voted for President Trump will be sorely disappointed that their political position will not have improved one whit. President Trump will still not have partners who will pass funding for the Wall through Congress, and there will be no movement toward solving immigration with legislation.

>>>Not one liberal or Leftist or Democrat will be convinced by anything in Steve Sailer’s columns to change sides. Not one. We’re not winning any hearts or minds.

If you’re actually using the failed “winning the hearts and minds” trope, you’re far gone, baby. That phrase went out when Iraq and Afghanistan turned into nightmares.

Steve’s columns are for the intellectual/moral bolstering of our own side. Much like how all those left wing academic are for them. Do you really think that one person is swayed by Mother Jones ?

Morale is important. And intellectual arguments are important. But only for people on your own side. No one is convinced by witty arguments, baby.

As Vox Day has pointed out, they started hedging their bets a few weeks ago and have gradually wound down their “mass blue wave” predictions to “its close”. They know their polls are bogus, and this time they know that far fewer people are buying them, so they are drawing down to save some of their credibility with those dumb enough to think they have some.

Still, that’s better than 2016, when their “Hillary will win in a landslide” lies kept up to the last minute caused literal mental breakdowns on the Left when Trump won. The freakout will be more subdued this time. I can’t help but think that Kavanaugh’s confirmation caused much of the corporate media to realize the power they thought they had to destroy a man’s career is far less than before, and they are a bit depressed.

* Whats flummoxing the left is that its jewish leadership is (on paper) sympathetic to trump’s ideas, since most of his rhetoric and philosophy is lifted from zionist concepts that have been reinterpreted along american cultural lines.

This is why trump “gets away with” so much stuff. His goals are orthagonal to jewish ones, and his methods, actions, and behaviors don’t rustle hebrew jimmies. In many ways, this “threading the needle” is one of the most astonishing political balancing acts accomplished in the post ww2 era.

Thats also what’s so interesting about the “alt right”…although it is (nominally) anti jewish, it is fundamentally a jewish inspired/modeled movement, publicly lead by a guy (trump) who is sympathetic to jewish political and cultural thought.

Jews have, post ww2, been the intellectual, political, and financial leaders of the democrats.

For about the past year, though, american jews have been moving towards trumps side. They are doing this because, in many ways, Trump is”one of them”. Or at least, the closest thing there ever will be to a jewish president.

Without jews providing direction to the left, the left is flailing and floundering…Black lives matter is defunct. Metoo burned out, and mostly went after democrats. The Kavanaugh protests? Lasted 10 days, ended 15 minutes after the vote, and were self defeating. Heard anything from Robert Mueller lately? Heard anything ABOUT Mueller lately? Or Russia? Or trumps “nazi” “foot soldiers?”

Most of the stuff Sailer has railed about over the past 12 months has been expendable, “true believer” suicide bomber type bullshit…Low level leftists acting without funding, organization, coordination, or sanction. voices in the wilderness. Futile, angry, ineffective gestures of defiance. Nothing coordinated. Nothing planned.

Buzzfeed News: White Nationalist Richard Spencer’s Wife Says In Divorce Filings That He Physically And Emotionally Abused Her

From Buzzfeed:

The wife of Richard Spencer, the white nationalist leader, has accused him of being “physically, emotionally, verbally and financially abusive” throughout their marriage, according to divorce filings in Flathead County District Court in Montana.

Nina Koupriianova, who married Spencer in August 2010 and has two young children with him, alleges that Spencer physically abused her, including instances where she was “being hit, being grabbed, being dragged around by her hair, being held down in a manner causing bruising, and being prevented from calling for help.”

Koupriianova — who went by Kouprianova in some public interviews and N.K. in the documents — “has been reluctant to call police or seek an order of protection for fear of further reprisal by” Spencer, her lawyers said in court documents. “Much of the abuse has occurred in the presence of the parties’ children.”

The documents said that Spencer’s “controversial public life” has led “his entire family to be targets of violence,” and Spencer kept a loaded weapon in his bedroom that was “accessible by children” after he was “assaulted in public” on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Despite the risk to his family,” Koupriianova argued in court, “[Spencer] continues to engage in extremely polarizing public speech advocating ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’ and a white-only ‘ethno-state’ which tends to invite passions and violence.”

“Most, if not all, of [Spencer’s] public speaking events result in violence,” the affidavit states…

The couple has been living separately since July 1, 2017, with Spencer splitting his time between Whitefish, Montana — where Spencer and Koupriianova live in separate residences — and the Washington, DC, area.

Spencer has previously stated he was separated from his Russian-born wife, who also holds Canadian citizenship, as early as Nov. 22, 2016, in a Washington Post profile. He added in that article that his work was taking a “toll” on their relationship.

Koupriianova has tried to explain some of Spencer’s positions. When asked by the Observer to explain her husband’s desire to create an ethnostate, she said, “In my understanding, these comments are about a theoretic future — a dream — for people of European descent, per se, not concrete policy suggestions for contemporary United States.”

She added, “‘Ethnic cleansing’ is a very heavy, loaded term. There are some recent examples of fairly peaceful separations.”

When asked in the same interview, “Do you think that people of other races should be eradicated in order to achieve the perfect society?” She responded, “No.”

In the divorce filings, Koupriianova alleged Spencer had increased his “alcohol consumption,” which “contributes to his aggressive and erratic behavior and reduces his impulse control.” Spencer denied this.

The documents also claim that Spencer was verbally abusive to their children’s babysitter, including in front of their children, where he allegedly called the babysitter a “fucking sub-mediocre human being” and a “fucking moron.” The court filing goes on to claim both children had been adversely impacted by his behavior.

“None of the allegations of ‘abuse’ have anything to do with my children,” Spencer wrote in his own 48-page affidavit.

Spencer goes on to write that Koupriianova “obviously and litigiously, tries to rope the children into our dispute by saying they were in the room next door or they overheard abusive talk.”

Koupriianova’s 78-page affidavit includes exhibits containing text messages and emails that are meant to corroborate her claims, in addition to photos that supposedly show bruising suffered by Koupriianova. Copies of the court documents provided by the Flathead County clerk are in black and white and are overexposed.

Koupriianova said that Spencer’s favorite statement to her was, “The only language women understand is violence.” He also allegedly told her once, “I’m famous, and you are not! I’m important, and you are not!”

In January 2011, about five months after their civil wedding ceremony and three weeks before their church wedding ceremony, Koupriianova said that Spencer dragged her down the stairs by her “legs, arms and hair” and threw her on a couch, resulting in bruises.

“I was very sick with the stomach flu, could not keep food or water down, and wanted to stay in bed recovering. Mr. Spencer wanted to watch a movie downstairs and did not take ‘no’ for an answer,” she wrote. “He dragged me out of bed by my arms, legs, and hair, dragged me down the stairs, and threw me onto the couch. At that point he calmed down and turned on his movie. The incident resulted in bruises.”

* NYT: Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence

* Brett Stevens writes:

Politics forms a sub-heading under philosophy for a reason: where philosophy aims at the unchanging, politics looks at the dynamic of power which shifts frequently. As such, the problem with political terms is that often we target what was relevant yesterday. This proves hardest for groups creating change because they often overshoot their own goals by achieving them.

Take, for instance, the Alt-Right. It gained ground as the Obama years showed us that, with echoes of the 1990s and 1960s, a fundamental transformation by the Left was ruining what was left of Western Civilization. It grew into public view when Hillary Clinton mentioned it as the new Great Satan for all who believe in Holy Equality. Then, it tried to define itself.

At first, the goal for the Alt-Right was to gather together the disparate influences of the postwar Right — hierarchy, nationalism, traditionalism, and metapolitics or a sense that cultural change was needed to kickstart political change — under a banner as an alternative to the somewhat rancid mainstream politics which turned Rightists into RINOs.

Having achieved that, and seen candidates of a similar note be vaulted into office in the United States and Europe, the Alt-Right overshot its own goals. It succeeded, but was there more to it? Where did it go once it crafted its initial aim, which was to awaken cultural consciousness of the need for Western Civilization to save itself through its people and their culture?

Brett wrote a related essay:

Why White Nationalism Has Become Obsolete

With the rise of populism, the previous “white nationalist” movement became obsolete. What the media calls “white nationalism” now simply means white identity politics, or the recognition that different white groups have as much a reason to have their own culture, values, and ethnic self-determination, much as we grant the same to every non-white minority group.

This populist movement for the first time pairs with an economic and social doctrine. It espouses the libertarian idea of free markets and freedom of association, meaning that people want to escape the tax-and-spend social engineering regime of our liberal governments and also break away from the civil rights laws that force us to live with others who are not like us.

At this point, populist white nationalism has also become obsolete. We have stated what we want, and now stand arrayed against those who defend the Leftist benefits superstate and its civil rights agenda. We want a functional society for our people, and they want a mob of people without heritage upon whom they can imprint the Good News of Leftism.

We realize now that libertarianism is not enough, nor is the basic idea of white identity politics. The former creates anarchy which will inevitably shift toward the socialist consumerism of the status quo, and the latter seems defensive and does not address what we fully want, which is a Western Civilization with the greatness of the ancients.

Our people have awakened and they want something other than modernity, which they have finally revealed is a Hydra of many heads — diversity, equality, democracy, pluralism, consumerism, hipsterism — and realize that we need more than a resistance movement, but a design of a new civilization and a game plan for how to get there.

Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge Military Histories)

David Stahel writes in 2009:

* From a military point of view, the likelihood of a German victory was also shared in Britain, with the Joint Intelligence Committee estimating that the Germans would require just six weeks to occupy the Ukraine and reach Moscow.42 A similarly pessimistic assessment was reached by the US Secretary of War, Henry Stimson, and his Chief of Staff, General George Marshall, who predicted that the German armies would require a minimum of one month, and a possible maximum of three months, to defeat the Soviet Union.43 The Italians, as Germany’s envious junior ally, were so convinced of another sweeping triumph that Mussolini told his foreign minister: ‘I hope for only one thing, that in this war in the east the Germans will lose a lot of feathers.’44 In Japan the head of the army’s military intelligence, General Okamoto Kiyomoto, predicted a campaign would last only a few weeks, not longer…

* The German invasion of the Soviet Union was to begin the largest and most brutal war in history. Given the enormous numbers of men and material involved, the war in the Soviet Union was without question the most decisive battleground of World War II. Even by conservative estimates the fighting in this theatre claimed between 27 and 28 million Soviet lives,52 which dwarf the 700,000 combined war dead of the United Kingdom and the United States.53 To put it another way, the total Soviet war dead alone equalled more than three times the total war dead of all the nations involved in the carnage of World War I.54 Four-fifths of all the fighting in World War II took place on Germany’s eastern front and never less than two-thirds of the German army was engaged in the war against the Soviet Union, even after D-Day.55 The conflict would last almost four years, being fought on an enormous front extending 2,768 kilometres from the Barents Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south.

* In similar fashion the commander of the XXXXIII Army Corps7 in Kluge’s 4th Army, General of Infantry Gotthard Heinrici, wrote home to his family on 24 June that the Soviet solder fought ‘very hard’. Heinrici then concluded: ‘He is a much better soldier than the Frenchman. Extremely tough, devious and deceitful.’

* With every mile of progression eastwards, German strength had to be dissipated vertically, to cover the expanding funnel of Soviet geography, and horizontally to isolate and close the main pocket as well as eliminate bypassed strongpoints and protect supply routes…

* For good reason Goebbels commented at the start of the war: ‘I am refraining from publishing big maps of Russia. The huge areas involved can only frighten our people.’

* Hoth bluntly observed: ‘The expenditure of strength is greater than the success.’

* Germany did not fail in Operation Barbarossa by a crushing defeat in a major battle, nor can the performance of the Red Army take the credit; they failed by losing the ability to win the war. Yet it is for this same reason that the German defeat was not a knockout blow, but rather one which doomed Germany to fighting a war far different from the one the generals had planned and consequently were not prepared for. Caught in the vast Soviet hinterlands, the front promptly started to settle down into gritty positional warfare more reminiscent of World War I, while the war of manoeuvre became more and more limited to specific sectors of the front.
