ICE ICE BABY

 

Did you notice our newly assigned Pontif blessing a block of ICE? Trad catholics were dismayed at this apparent endorsement of the rainbow globalist climate scam, but maybe all's not what it seems? In related news, some judge decided that the Commander-in-Chief can't order his troops around and the Mayor of crime-ridden, urban hellhole Chicago believes enforcing the law's an act of civil war, or something like that.

Hey, I'm all for the South, Bonnie Blue, States Rights, General Lee and all of that, but didn't the Democrats lose the last one? Speaking of which, how would a civil war pan out here? The Rainbow Left seem to think all these trannies will rise up and seize the means of production, ushering in a furry trans utopia of cosplay Black Bloc Durruti Columnists cavorting wildly on the streets of Das Kapital.

Others imagine balkanization, the fragmentation of central state control when the cash runs out, which, gentle readers, it already has. Don't say national debt or the end of the Western Roman Emire. But that's as maybe, in the meanwhile we have ICE. Here's a song:

Dallas boy, curiously; didn't he get into some kind of trouble with Two Pack Shaker? But that's as maybe, should anarcho-trans nihilists, paid and unpaid, be allowed to turn Democrat run urban sh*tholes into even worse sh*tholes than they already are? Should the Feds be allowed to go all military on these larping revolutionaries or is that a bad precedent, threatening all our freedoms?

As always, your call, you be the judge. Me? I'm more than half-inclined to wall off, yes, big beautiful walls, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, Baltimore, Austin, San Francisco and all the rest, and simply let them have at it. Go on, burn yourselves down, and look where we are, back at balkanization. Huh. As you ponder this in depth analysis, here's VDH: 

Both Antifa and the appeasing Oregon officials are our new neo-Confederate secessionists. They feel that their states are now autonomous entities that are still entitled to federal money but not obligated to follow federal laws.

What On Earth Is Going On?

 

What's going on, LSP, you ask with bated breath as WWIII threatens to kick off in the Middle East, What's with all these ferns and cushions replacing the spartan austerity of the Compound? Good question and perhaps you think I've defected to the other side. Wrong. What's happened is this.

After many, many years Mrs LSP decided to leave the Land of the Ice and Snow, aka Calgary, and head south to the North Central Texas Exclusion Zone. Yes, there were and still are many moving parts, but the bulk of the mission's accomplished. No small thing, punters. Short term result? 

Everything's bizarrely civilized and the rough and ready Compound's getting used to having a Lady's Side. I'll tell you this, fellow friends of the New World Order, sometimes it's best to play the long game. I know, shot in the dark, but there it is. 

In related news, Mrs LSP's driving a DOG from Calgary to Texas. This, dear readers, is a feat of skill, daring and courage by anyone's standards. You see, in the old days you could fly canines cheap in cargo, then came COVID. Not anymore, can't do that, it'll give people COVID or, more to the point, less cash. 

What a total moneymaking scam. More on this exciting story as it develops.

One Ring To Rule Them All,

Trump Beats The Weather

 

Yes he does, yet again. Not one day, not a single day after he was sworn in as President in the Rotunda of the US Imperial Capitol, 47 got down to business, unlike the previous mountebanks, and defeated Global Warming. You doubt me? Here's the evidence, from Texas. Have a look:

There it is, snow, no doubt about it. Good work, Mr. President, no one liked the Paris Climate Accords anyway, except corrupt grifters in the DS, but here at the Compound we're cheering on energy independence, drill baby drill, and an end to the NetZero scam. At what cost?

ICE. Yes, the weather has most certainly changed. Are we heading into a new Ice Age? Seems that way, looking at the evidence in NC rural Texas. Perhaps Ed. Milliband, real name, in the UK will take notice.

The King Returns

 

Better in song? Here at the Compound we think it is. So expressive, beyond prose. So here's a song:

Rousing, eh? Of course we're shameless Monarchists here, in the frozen depths of Texas, where the climate's changed on account of our not paying enough tax. Oops. Now you pay the price, ICE. What an historic day.

Cheers,

LSP

ICE

 

No, not the brave men and women tasked with defending our borders, but real ice, the literal ice of the Arctic. And with it, shipping lanes, immense natural resources and geostrategic influence, to say nothing of glaciated alien tech. So who's after this frozen treasure trove? America, Canada, and Russia, with Danish Greenland conveniently situated.

Have a look at this helpful infographic, via RWA:

You'll note America's physical control of Greenland and Canada would give the US equal footing with Russia in what RWA believes will shape up to be one of the "Great Games" of the current century. Here's their brief analysis:

So let's talk about the Arctic. 

Russia is positioning the Northern Sea Route as a key global shipping lane, which it controls almost entirely. This route significantly shortens transit times between Europe and Asia. With improved infrastructure and receding ice, the NSR is superior to the Suez Canal - not only shorter (and therefore cheaper, and becoming cheaper with the infrastructure improvements), but also there are no queues, no tolls and no pirates or Houthis. 

The melting ice also makes it easier to exploit natural resources in the Arctic circle, and they are estimated to be enormous: 15% of the world's undiscovered oil, 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas (those numbers come from the US Geological Survey iirc). There are also other strategic resources such as rare earth elements. 

Russia has been developing oil and natural gas reserves in the Russian parts of the Arctic, particularly in areas like the Yamal Peninsula and the Kara Sea. Diversifying energy export routes is CRITICAL for Russia moving towards the mid-21st century. Projects like the Yamal LNG and Arctic LNG 2 are absolutely crucial to Russian economic strategy, and these projects also involve partnership with China -- of course, Russia is China's only gateway to the Arctic, so they are highly interested in cooperation. 

In recent years, Russia has reopened or a bunch of old Soviet scientific and military bases across the Arctic, particularly the Arctic Shamrock base on Alexandra Land. We're also testing many of our newest weaponry in the Arctic and even basing it there, such as the S-500 air defence system and various missiles (Bastion, Tsirkon). We are operating a respectable fleet of nuclear subs in the Arctic Ocean, too. 

Currently, Russia has an edge over everyone else in the Arctic -- we own the largest portion of it, we operate the world's largest and most advanced fleet of icebreakers (including the INCREDIBLY cool nuclear-powered ones), we have been heavily investing in both military and civilian infrastructure in the region. 

The Americans would obviously love to challenge Russia in the Arctic Circle. Oh, I forgot to mention -- the whole area is critical for all WW3 Armageddon planning, because the shortest flight path for ICBM exchanges also crosses the North Pole. The US don't want Russia to control an important global shipping lane, and they want those natural resources for themselves. They have been trying to invest in Alaskan infrastructure but efforts have been meh.

America is lagging behind when it comes to icebreakers and military capabilities in the area, though they have e.g. the "Arctic Edge" and "Cold Response" exercises. 

It's clear that things like direct control over the Northwest Passage and being able to project naval power from Greenland would be highly desirable for the US in the long term. Allies and puppets are great but for "saving a floundering hegemony" and WW3 purposes direct control is always better. 

In any case, the Arctic will be one of the most important strategic regions of the 21st century, and competition will be fierce. Also, we really should work on the Spitsbergen/Svalbard question...

 

Make of this what you will, but perhaps recent trolling Viz. Canada and Greenland begin to make sense in light of the above. Then there's alien tech, hidden civilizations, Admiral Byrd, Ice Nazis and more besides. Clearly worth a separate post.
