Perfidy Meets Comity
The deafening cadence of war drums

On 22 August 2025, an attractive 23-year-old white Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska bordered a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Within minutes, a black career criminal, named Decarlos Brown, Jr., in the seat behind her stood up, raised his arm over his head, and stabber her in the neck, killing her.
As of 9 September 2025, a full two weeks after the murder, the story is just starting to appear in the most timid and generic way possible in the GeezerMedia—our term for the overpaid puffballs at the overhyped networks.
By comparison, a black career criminal took an overdose of fentanyl to avoid being arrested with illegal drugs in his possession while passing counterfeit $20 bills. While being arrested, he had a heart attack and died in police custody. That story went viral practically as it happened, leading to an entire summer of riots and the silliest campaign ever imagined called BLM.
This is the power the GeezerMedia has: they can bury grotesque crime stories with clear video evidence, while they blow up other stories into national crises, inflaming demographic divisions and literally inciting violence (mostly peaceful riots, anyone).
It’s not just the GeezerMedia that has been weaponized—and for a very long time too. The social media empires are even worse and more powerful in our current cultures. They have been weaponized in such insidious and subtle ways that it’s difficult to point to isolated specific examples because it all blends into a toxic tapestry of full-spectrum dominance.
So, when you see stories like Nepal trying to ban non-local social media, you might begin to appreciate that they are fighting an existential war against narradigm control. If you read the whole progression of events, you’ll also notice curious parallels to recent events here in Indonesia.
If you only read the Western GeezerMedia, the riots in Nepal were caused by government censorship blocking access to a dozen social media apps/sites. The “students” (it’s always students) rose up in righteous indignation, demanding restoration of their “free speech” rights. After 19 deaths and several government buildings getting torched, the Prime Minister relented and resigned, along with several cabinet members (a whiff of Indonesia).
In reality, the government had passed a law requiring social media platforms to register a local office and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. TikTok and Viber did so and remained functioning, but all the other biggies did not, so the government cut the cables. Cue the NGOs and dark money to fund anti-government riots.
This was not about “free speech”. It was about maintaining mass access to weaponized social media as a means to manipulate the population. Creating a local entity within the country was nothing more than an effort to bring the companies under the local jurisdiction. The “free speech” part was just a cover to protect the SocMed giants from local liability, and the NGOs funded and wielded by giant corporations are the “enforcement” arms of their agendas, as we have discussed many times around here.
Zooming out to an even bigger picture up here in our Low Earth Orbit (LEO) perch, we see that all these hot spots are taking place in countries that are friendly with Russia: Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Venezuela, Serbia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan among them.
They all have in common a highly visible event—everything from collapsing train stations to politician bonuses—are blown up into major contentions and the resignation or removal of top leadership is always the goal. In other words, these are all color revolutions sponsored by the US/EU/UK, though the auspices of NGOs that use SocMed and slush funds to stir up the masses in hopes of regime change.
What we are seeing from up here in LEO is the US/EU/UK realizing their little project in the Ukraine is a disaster, and turning to attacks on countries with close relationships with Russia.
India was the most obvious, but all these other regime change efforts are related through an effort to isolate Russia, including on-going provocations of China, like Australia and Canada sailing war ships through the Straits of Taiwan to distract from recent Russian reproachment.
Which brings us back to Decarlos and Iryna and GeezerMedia narradigm control. The crime, which is likely random, has all the elements necessary to create outrage and mass protests, but instead the GeezerMedia have sat on the story. The reason is the story inflames the wrong people. They don’t want mass movements against the Woke Progressives and their crime-friendly agendas.
There’s also the matter of Donald Trump playing nicely with the Globarchists. He’s been very compliant and bombing/attacking the right entities (Iran, Venezuela). As long as he’s playing nice, there’s no need to incite riots and violence.
In any sane world, the brutal murder of a lovely young woman on a train in a major US metropolitan area would bring out the pitchforks and torches. As it was, the GeezerMedia only begrudgingly reported the story two weeks after it happened because ignoring was creating far too much attention.
As William Randolph Hearst famously said, “You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war.” His newspaper empire would create the violence with the barest of evidence by controlling what people saw and read about the Cuban uprising against Spain. His boast then was absolutely true—the US ended up colonizing the Philippines because of Hearst’s efforts—it is even more true now with dozens of instant outlets in the hands of a sizable chunk of the planet’s human population.
The problem is not “free speech,” but the weaponization and control of opinion. Most of what we see in the electronic media is generated to manipulate us and feed us the conclusions that the GeezerMedia want us to have. They don’t care that we express an opinion, they only care that it is their opinion artfully planted in our minds.
Today, we’re a bit all over the place. The problem is to show how an isolated incident in North Carolina fits into a global puzzle of narradigm control in a true information war. The troops are in Bangladesh sweatshops. The generals are AI language models. The Supreme Command is a bunch of technocrats and financial puppeteers.
It may all seem confusing, but you are welcome to sit up here in LEO to watch the patterns emerge as we warp and woof our way into oblivion. Accept no incident in isolation. There is a Globarchist angle to all of it. Our job is to unravel and defuse it to stop the madness.
So, as we sit here with Poland shooting down “Russian” drones, France and England in full collapse, color revolutions cropping up right and left, the BRICS/SCO ascendant, and further revelations that the US administration for the past four years was a mirage, let us pause to ponder the relentless drive to global war.
Department of War, indeed.

It seems we all need both a good laugh and a reminder of what real journalism is all about. Therefore, I nominate Front Page (1974) as our cultural learning for today. Not only is it directed by one of the greats: Billy Wilder, but it features one of the all-time best comedy duos in the persons of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. Sometimes a little madness is just the thing to cure the big madness.

Massive protests are breaking out all across France as I write this. 80,000 police officers have been mobilized. Unlike the yellow vest movement, this movement is primarily composed of leftists.
In the coming days, the unions will mobilize and come out onto the streets. France, as a country, will cease to function at least for a while. The crisis deepens with no end in sight...
It looks like this is the fate of the west. Deepening crises with no solution on the horizon, slowly circling the drain before ending up in complete irrelevance.
I've heard of circular firing squads before, but I thought it was just a figure of speech.
