The Weirdness Escalates

Donald Trump and Tony Blair are going to govern Gaza. Which presumably is a new use of the word “govern” with which I have hitherto been unfamiliar.

Donald Trump dramatically announced that he would rule Gaza with Sir Tony Blair if Hamas accept his 20-point peace plan.

The US President declared at a press conference at The White House it was a ‘big day, a beautiful day’ and ‘potentially one of the greatest days ever in civilisation’.

Mr Trump quashed rumours that the former British PM would oversee control of the territory – revealing it would instead be him.

He said a ‘board of peace’ would be ‘headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J Trump of the United States’.

He insisted this was ‘not at my request’ but said it’s ‘what I want’ as ‘it’s so important that I’m willing to do it’.

He said the board would have leaders from other countries, including Sir Tony, who he described as ‘a very good man’.

The plan, which the MAGA leader has circulated to Arab leaders, was released after Mr Trump met the Israeli PM in Washington.

The two leaders arrived at the press conference late, after discussing the terms of the deal, which has yet to be finalized with Netanyahu, Arab leaders, and Hamas.

‘Let’s call it eternal peace in the Middle East,’ Trump said triumphantly. ‘This is far more than anybody expected, but the level of support that I have had from the nations in the Middle East and neighbors of Israel has been incredible.’

Nothing would surprise me at this point. Aliens, the Second Coming, Q taking down Clown World, the EU surrendering to Yemen, I mean, at some point you have to simply sit back and acknowledge that it’s not even possible to make any sense of world events.

Clown World is certainly the most apt apellation, but doesn’t even begin to do the full extent of it justice.

FULL RELEASE BY WHITE HOUSE:

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

The Eighth Front

The Netanyahu regime has reportedly opened yet another front, this time on the American Internet, according to both Max Blumenthal and Alistair Crooke. The latter recently appeared on Judge Napolitano’s show:

The eighth front is inside the United States, and it is the front that is against—if you like—the podcasters and the influencers that are on the internet. This is because they have already largely bought the mainstream media and have been controlling that from the Obama administration on. We all see that now, the details of how much they were controlling things through COVID and everything else.

Now, the eighth front is really the war that I think Max Blumenthal has been outlining very clearly: the war against people like Charlie Kirk and against others who are questioning why it is “Israel first” and not “America first.” They are asking, “What is this takeover of America by Israel and these big Jewish oligarch billionaires who seem to wield huge influence?” These are the same people who have just bought TikTok because they don’t like it; its algorithm doesn’t seem to give enough support to Israel, so they’re going to change the algorithm to make sure it changes its position.

So that’s the front. The front is to maintain control and to have influence over the young Americans, be they Republican or Democrats. But the young Americans—you would know this much more than me as an outsider—are drifting away very noticeably from supporting Israel, as is the rest of the world. And this is an existential threat because if Israel loses America, it’s an existential threat to its future.

Is the Israeli government actually concerned about the effect of alternative media, such as the one you and I are on at this very moment?

Very concerned about it. Very concerned because these young people, these young MAGA people, the sort of Nick Fuentes and people like this, Charlie Kirk—I mean, they are still quite young, but quite clearly they’re going to move into positions of power increasingly in the United States. And if they’ve lost the young, they are going to lose America. Not today, not tomorrow, but this is the eighth front. This is the big war that Israel and Netanyahu believe they cannot lose.

They must keep control over the internet media system, as well as the mainstream system. So they’re splashing out, buying up as much as they can, which I think Max Blumenthal has outlined quite extensively.

However, based upon a) the selection of influencers and b) the inept rhetoric, I very much doubt this eighth front is going to enjoy very much success.

MEET NETANYAHU’S PRO-ISRAEL INFLUENCERS

Debra Lea, Lizzy Savetsky, Emily Austin, Shay Szabo, The Latino Zionist, Hannah Faulkner.

These are 7 identified influencers who met with Netanyahu to plan for their Israeli propaganda campaign as part of Israel’s 8th Front War. Netanyahu instructed them to:

– Target TikTok & X

– Christians who criticize Israel are Woke Reich

“Woke Reich.” Oh my. Boomer confirmed! I haven’t seen a rhetorical misstep that bad since “Gamers are Dead” launched GamerGate. Also, needs more umlauts. Völk Reich would be more like it.

Now, anyone can buy all the influencers they like, but what they’ll soon find is that the influence wielded on their behalf is essentially nonexistent because a sponsored influencer is primarily useful for exposure, not for directing opinions. No one is going to change their minds about anything because Nickles Fuentes or The Latino Zionist tell them to do so.

Especially if Col. Macgregor is correct and Israel is about to launch Round 2 with Iran on its own without significant assistance from the US military.

Dear Vidiots

What part of “do not send me links to videos” do you find so impossibly hard to understand?

I do not watch videos. I especially do not watch videos that people bring to my attention and tell me that I “need” to watch. In fact, if you want to ensure that you go on my spam-block list and are never able to email me again, putting a link to a video in an email and telling me to watch it is a very effective way to do so.

Videos are an enormous and painful waste of my time. The words-per-minute rate of a video averages around 125 words per minute, and even the most informative videos contain a maximum content-to-fluff ratio of around 10 percent as they never, ever, simply provide the information, but instead need to introduce it, explain why they are addressing the topic, and then explain the significance of the subject being addressed before getting to the actual point.

Now, I read at a confirmed 1,194 wpm rate. So I find the maximum information flow rate to be excrutiatingly slow, since it’s coming in at one-tenth the rate to which I am accustomed. Throw in the fluff factor, and it means that a video provides me with information at one percent of the rate that I prefer.

SO DON’T SEND ME ANYMORE FUCKING VIDEOS OR LINKS TO VIDEOS!

If you absolutely feel that I really, truly would value the information that you have encountered in your “research”, then here is what you can do.

  1. Copy the transcript of the video.
  2. Paste it into ChatGPT, Deepseek, or the AI of your choice.
  3. Ask it to format the transcript for reading.
  4. Save the formatted transcript as a PDF.
  5. Email me the transcript with a clear description of the PDF contents in the subject.
  6. Do not send me more than one transcript per month.

I’m not promising that I will read any transcript I am sent, but there is at least a chance that I will. Also, you won’t get spammed, unless, of course, you send me multiple transcripts over the course of a month. And if you can’t bother taking the time to copy the transcript and format it properly for reading, then what on Earth were you thinking sending me the link to the video in the first place?

I understand that most people prefer videos to reading. That’s fine. UATV wouldn’t exist if people didn’t generally prefer videos to blogs, substacks, and books. But it shouldn’t be so hard to understand that not everyone prefers them, or that those who process information faster than the average are likely to do so.

Fake Democracy in Europe

A fake election in Europe barely secures victory for the EU-supported pro-EU party:

Moldova’s ruling pro-EU Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) has secured a narrow majority in the nation’s parliamentary election, according to preliminary results published by the Central Election Commission (CEC). Votes from abroad pushed PAS past the threshold needed to continue governing without a coalition partner. Inside the country, however, it received only 44.13%, with its strongest support in the capital, Chisinau, where it polled at 52.68%. Initial counts suggested the party would fall short of an outright majority. But PAS dominated the diaspora vote, getting over 85% in some Western countries. As ballots trickled in from overseas, its overall total rose and eventually crossed the 50% line.

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, a “voluntary” electronic ID barely passes in its second attempt because the usual cantonal approval was not required and a state-controlled corporation illegally donated to the pro-ID campaign.

The referendum committee against the law on digital identity (e-ID), which was narrowly approved on Sunday, called on Monday for the vote to be annulled. It claims that the result was influenced by illegal interference by Swisscom, which is controlled by the state. The referendum committee regards Swisscom’s involvement in the campaign as a flagrant violation of the freedom to vote guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. Companies close to the government are bound by political neutrality and must not influence the democratic process through unilateral interventions.

The pattern in these anti-democratic Clown World votes is very clear. The EU and NGOs are heavily involved in financing and backing the campaigns. Technical rules are subverted and utilized against political opponents, minor and presumably temporary changes are made to permit revotes of failed measures, the non-resident vote-by-mail heavily supports all the measures that the residents oppose, and all of the non-populist parties put their differences aside in order to support the government-endorsed policies.

It’s all just a thin, pseudo-democratic charade meant to obscure the ever-growing, ever-tighter grip that Clown World is attempting to exert on the European nations with an illusion of popular legitimacy. But these attempts will fail, because all of the economic and philosophical justifications for Clown World’s “democracy” have failed. These are just the last gasp of political measures being applied before Clown World openly turns to violent repression and then completely collapses due to its lack of popular support.

A Real Russian Attack

A “Russian” attack that does no real damage is an obvious false flag, as evidenced by this recent strike on a group of “instructors” and “targeting crews” in Ukraine.

Two Russian hypersonic missiles struck Ukraine’s Starokostyantyniv airbase today, destroying five (5) US-supplied F-16 Fighter jets, an unknown number of British-supplied Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, along with “Dozens” of NATO instructors and targeting crews. According to a Ukrainian Telegram channel from the site: “Everyone is dead, everything is destroyed, we are in agony. Everything on the base is burning.”

I really don’t see how the European NATO forces expect to survive engagement with the Russian Army. Do they really think that nuclear threats are going to make Russia back down? Do they imagine that the USA has enough conventional forces to impress the Russian generals?

What, exactly, are supposed to be the victory conditions?

Remember, the US military not only can’t stop hypersonic missiles, it also doesn’t have any of its own.

More False Flag Warnings

I first warned about the false flags that would inevitably be attributed to Russia back in January 2022, before the Special Military Operation even began. In the aftermath of the pathetic attempt at pretending six duct-taped drones had attacked rural Polish farmhouses, a number of observers are increasingly concerned that NATO is finally going to stage a more serious false flag with a pre-prepared “response” intended to trigger a US defense of the soon-to-be overwhelmed European forces.

World War III will start very soon if the information about Kyiv’s plans to carry out a false-flag operation in Romania and Poland is confirmed.

According to the available information, the plan is to repair several downed Russian UAVs, send them — disguised as ‘Russian drones’ — to NATO hubs in Poland and Romania, conduct a disinformation campaign in Europe with the intent to blame everything on Moscow and thereby trigger an armed conflict between Russia and NATO.” (c) Russian MFA

On Kyiv’s plans to carry out a false-flag operation in Romania and Poland

Today several Hungarian media outlets reported on Zelensky’s plans to carry out sabotage in Romania and Poland in order to blame Russia. Thus, on Bankova they are preparing their own “Gleiwitz incident” — to create a casus belli for a war between Russia and NATO.

According to the available information, the Kyiv regime’s plan is as follows:

  • Repair several downed or intercepted Russian UAVs.
  • Equip them with a combat warhead.
  • Send UAVs controlled by Ukrainian specialists — disguised as “Russian drones” — to major NATO transport hubs in Poland and Romania.
  • Simultaneously conduct a disinformation campaign in Europe to blame everything on Moscow.
  • Ignite an armed conflict between the Russian Federation and NATO.

I very much doubt it’s going to work, despite what will be an absolute media blitzkrieg by the European, UK, and US medias, because it’s going to be absolutely obvious that Russia had nothing to do whatever the false flag turns out to be. And there are three reasons why it will be absolutely obvious.

  1. When Russia attacks, it does so in an open and unmistakable manner. Nor does it bother to hide its intentions or conceal its actions.
  2. False flags invariably involve minimal loss compared to real strikes. Russia attacks with an average of 187.5 drones and 8.4 missiles per day. An attack on NATO would be an escalation, so any real attack on NATO would presumably consist of at least 800 drones and 15 missiles. Anything short of this level should be assumed to be a false flag.
  3. If and when Russia attacks NATO, it will attack command centers, weapons depots, troop concentrations, and airfields. Attacks on trivial and tertiary targets, especially if they involve a minimal loss of life or primarily civilian casualties, should be assumed to be false flags.

More false flags are definitely coming. But there is no reason to assume that WWIII will be triggered as a result, since the Russians know perfectly well what the desperate Kiev regime and its European paymasters are trying to do. As does the Trump administration.

ESR Speaks With Authority

Now this is an area in which the man definitely knows whereof he speaks. Listen to him.

I’m about to do something I think I’ve never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.

After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that “Codes of Conduct” have been a disaster – a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.

Here is my advice about codes of conduct:

  1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.
  2. If you’re stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: “If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you’ll be ejected.”
  3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don’t work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.

Yes, we should try to be kind to each other. But we should be ruthless and merciless towards people who try to turn “Be kind!” into a weapon. Indulging them never ends well.

Granted, I said much the same in SJWs Always Lie back in 2015, but then, I do not have the authority in the open source world that ESR does. If you want to keep your organization functional, always apply these three rules:

  • No codes of conduct
  • No human resources department or employees
  • No tolerance for thought police

The Schools Aren’t Magic

Immigrants are proving literally uneducable(PDF) by the schools in the countries they have invaded:

In spite of the many criticisms to which PISA can and should be legitimately subjected, it is difficult to deny that this large and highly successful OECD project is a blessing for research in Comparative Education, as it provides strictly comparable data on inputs, processes and results for most educational systems in the world. The outcomes of analyzing these enormous data sets are rather disappointing for those who had expected from it quick and solid adjudications among rival theories. First the PISA reports, and then the many reanalyses carried out on the PISA data, have found only very weak relations between students’ outcomes and characteristics of educational systems which are usually thought of
paramount importance (Carabaña, 2008).

It is from these tenuous links that multilevel regressions extract cross-country coefficients that, when statistically significant, are quite hard to interpret even by the best willed officials and scholars. I will here address the question of the effects that schools in the destination countries have on the academic results of immigrant’s children. Immigration countries have generally better schools and better results than countries of emigration. It is therefore easy to imagine how the desire to improve the schooling conditions of their children might be one important pulling factor for emigrants. However, against all expectations of subjects and observers, immigrant students score in the PISA tests rather like students in their countries of origin than like native students in the countries of destination.

In spite of the allegedly better schools of the host countries, the learning of the newcomers remains at the level of their origin countries not only in the first generation, but also in the second and even later on.

This is because the differences across humanity are not merely “skin-deep”. The contents of one’s character do matter, but so too do the contents of one’s culture, and even more importantly, one’s genes. An 80-IQ Somali immigrant who attends a good public school in Minneapolis is still going to be an 80-IQ Somali after being given a piece of paper that declares he is educated. So too will his son, and his grandson, and his great-grandson.

This should be entirely obvious, as the British colonists did not gradually turn into American Indians after four generations in the New World. And the descendants of the African slaves imported into the Americas are still observably distinct in appearance, behavior, and educational outcome after many generations of education in the USA.

The Selling of Burrito Mussolini

This is an astute and well-informed analysis of the objectives of the Little Nicky show, with one very important omission:

There are scores of unique ideolectual movements that can be accurately categorized as “rightward,” and each of them has their own set of elites, which in turn have their own leaders who themselves have a retinue of commoner followers. To the outsider and/or normie, these distinctions and competing hierarchies may seem inconsequential, but to the denizens of the Sphere, knowing who stands where, what for, and with who, is requisite to participation. More work needs to be done to catalog, analyze, and understand this ideolectual ecosystem, and I hope someone eventually does put in the time and effort. For our purposes, we are only going to look at one specifically: Fuentes and his “America First” gang. Like Mao, he is a jilted elite, deprived of status and station he feels he deserves. This deprivation is one of the drivers of both his behavior and the rhetorical viscera, by which I mean the connective tissue that between the consolidated memes5. Like Chinese communism prior to the 1950s, his gang may seem powerful regionally, but it is dwarfed by Greater Liberalism, the collection of liberals, progressives, leftists, and their thralls that compose the status quo in the academy, industry, commerce, and society.

I have to assume some part of Fuentes thought about taking on Greater Liberalism, at some point at least, but that’s a real battle against a dangerous enemy. Fuentes, like Mao, found far more success in attacking fellow travelers who differ in outlook by mere degrees. Like Mao’s battles against the various disparate and similar factions, these tiny and largely inconsequential victories serve to drive expansion of the gang and feed the bloodlust of its members. It must be said that it’s not a waste, it isn’t really counterproductive, because the ostensible Right Wing thought & principles of America First are little more than window dressing for the real goal: expanding the Fuentes gang. Everything is about recruitment; use the principles when they serve the purpose of bringing in more gang members, and abandon them when they stand in the way of bringing in more gang members.

So, Fuentes is pro Trump when it is getting him more adherents, and he is pro Harris when it gets him more adherents. He criticizes blacks when it drives engagement, then plays slap ass with negroes when it drives engagement. Take this lens, “recruitment as the only principle,” and apply it to the history of his “movement,” and the whole thing makes a lot more sense. He’s not a hypocrite, he’s not a traitor, he’s not a fair weather friend; he’s a gang leader existing in an ecosystem where quantity is the only quality that matters.

For the principled Right Winger, this behavior is despicable. It reeks of selfishness, greed, and shortsightedness. But it’s inaccurate to say it is unique to Fuentes. It is, in fact, the rule and not the exception. True, it would be more honest for the gang to be called “Fuentes First,” but honesty in the postmodern media market is the fastest path to irrelevancy.

What is the important omission? What is left out is that none of it is real. Fuentes is no more seeking power than he is interested in any of the various contradictory principles that he has, at one time or another, espoused. What he’s been doing is simply an audition, putting on a test show in order to establish a baseline price for his next gig, which is the replacement for Jordan Peterson as the Voice of the Disaffected Young Men in order to serve as their gatekeeper, keeping them away from Christianity, Nationalism, Family, and the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

He’s just the latest in a long line of Men With a Secret, beginning with William F. Buckley, who has been hired to play a role and protect Clown World from its natural enemies.
