Grading Kunstler, Kirsch and Barrett from Laos!

I used to read Linh Dinh’s Postcards from the End at Unz Review and was pleasantly surprised when this appeared this morning, with a recommendation to post it for us, as most here would enjoy it.  I agree.  Enjoy this mix of hard politics, lazy living and a dog doing what dogs would do.

 

[Don Sang, 4/4/23]

Getting up at 3:30AM, I opened my door to find a black animal sleeping just outside. This turned out to be Toto, a dog from Datta Banana Leaf, about seven yards from my room. When I called him by name, Toto ignored me. At dawn around 5:30AM, he finally got up.

After briefly acknowledging his buddy, Toto settled down to pleasure himself. Making all sorts of slurping sounds, he was nevertheless businesslike. A dog, man or woman must do what each has to do. Done with sucking his dick, Toto left without saying goodbye.

When I mentioned to the folks at Datta their dog had slept outside my door, they said his sister, Sahana, had also acted strangely yesterday.

Leana, “Somebody bad was around.”

“In one of your rooms?”

“No, but around.”

Tony, “Dogs know. They can see ghosts.”

Man or ghost, some presence spooked them, but it’s over. Next time Toto tries to lick my face, though, I might not let him.

When tourists were locked out of Laos for over two years, Tony and Leana made up their lost income partially by raising chickens, ducks, rabbits and turkeys. Their four guestrooms were still occupied by stuck travelers, so that’s good. When they started to plant vegetables, though, their landlord blocked this by saying it would upset ghosts. He didn’t care to have angry demons rush to his home to complain or retaliate. Spirits prefer the status quo.

In Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, most tattoos are magical, to ward off evil spirits, bring good luck or make you sexy even. Although I find all of this absurd, I’ve had incidences in my life that were beyond natural, so it’s reasonable, I think, to admit our logical minds, even when functioning properly, have serious limitations. Certainly, we have no intimation of the wisdom possessed by the dumbest dog, duck or termite.

What drives Laos, though, isn’t magic but its understanding of Buddhism.

Technically, Laos is Communist, but Jewish thinking, with its us against them and progress as weapon, has no purchase here. The Vietnamese-sponsored Pathet Lao gained support because the US made this nation the most bombed in history, but after that horror, Laos is, again, as tolerant and easy going a society as you’ll find, and it’s not just blasé about progress, but purposeful exertion. Laos is the definition of chill.

On 2/13/20, I made this observation about crossing from Laos into Vietnam, “Immediately, the landscape became animated with people buying, selling or working in the fields. Across verdant paddies, dozens of figures were bent over to plant rice seedlings. Everything seemed more purposeful than in Laos. Even the herons flew straighter, and each dog yawned with more determination.”

Visiting Laos in 1950, Norman Lewis already pointed out:

It is considered ill-bred and irreligious in Laos to work more than is necessary. The father of a family cultivates an amount of land, estimated, by a bonze who is expert in such matters, to be sufficient for his requirements.

[…]

The accumulation of wealth which is not to be used for definite, approved purposes, causes a man to lose prestige among his neighbours, just, as in the West, the process is reversed.

[…]

It is a stimulating reflection that the Western millionaire, obsessed for the sake of social distinction with the amassing of enormous possessions—little of which he can personally consume—would attain the same ends of personal celebrity under a Laotian Buddhistic order of things by his priestly austerities—by embracing the most abject and prestige-conferring form of poverty.

The more abject your poverty, the more you’re admired. In 2023, however, some top Lao Commies have made themselves obscenely rich, but that’s inevitable in any totalitarian system. For pointing this out in Animal Farm, Orwell is still taking low blows from leftist soy boys. Mostly black sheep from better off families, they rage against not just the middle but lower class, whom they caricature as “right wing” idiots. Hypocritical indignation is a hallmark of Jewish thinking.

Why didn’t Khmer Rouge type hell erupt in Laos? Besides being much milder than Cambodians, Laos weren’t ruled by Paris educated maniacs. Discounting Prince Souphanouvong, a useful idiot, the Pathet Lao was led by a half-Vietnamese, Kaysone Phomvihane, whose birthname was Nguyễn Cai Song.

Laos still has 80 million unexploded American bombs, including toy-like cluster bombs liable to be picked up by children. In Laos, too, babies are born grossly deformed by Agent Orange. Of course, most Americans couldn’t care less, for they have new genocides to orchestrate, as in Ukraine and Syria.

On 4/3/23, James Howard Kunstler wrote:

The main thing about the Ukraine War is that the US doesn’t want it to end. You understand, it is not about any airy-fairy principles such as freedom for Ukraine. It’s about antagonizing Russia no matter how many dead Ukrainians it takes, because US officials developed a delusional psychosis about Russia after years of using it to mind-fuck American citizens, and our folks-in-charge have to justify that antagonism by pretending we have vested interests in Ukraine, which we don’t, by the way.

As smart as Kunstler is, he’s missing at least two key factors. To prevent itself from becoming irrelevant in an emerging world dominated by China and Russia, the US must subvert its main rivals, and so what if millions of Ukrainians, Taiwanese, South Koreans or Japanese must die? Germans, Brits, and Frenchmen can also watch their societies crumble. Uncle Sam has never cared for innocent lives.

Moreover, the war in Ukraine is an intimately Jewish affair, with Jews celebrating Jewish Ukraine resisting Putin, the new Hitler. Of course, no Jews are killed or hurt, only Slavs. This, in itself, is a key Jewish objective, as I pointed out on 3/9/22, with my “As Many Dead Slavs as Possible.” On 3/29/22, I elaborated this further with “Chris Hedges, Victoria Nuland and the Khazars.”

If you ignore the Jewish factor, the world’s most pressing problems hardly make sense. For about two years, Steve Kirsch is continually perplexed that authority figures keep ignoring his mountain of evidence against Covid “vaccines.” There’s no mystery, however, if you notice all the Jewish players behind this unprecedented genocide, and, even more importantly, that it’s entirely backed by the Jewish dominated media.

Of course, I’m just an anti she mite for writing on 11/19/21, “Mass Child Sacrifice in Plain Sight.”

Just yesterday, Kevin Barrett published “Zionists Attack Worshippers in Al-Aqsa Mosque.” See a pattern? Jews attacked Islam’s most sacred mosque, Kevin, not “Zionists.” As the man who translated Laurent Guyénot’s From Yahweh to Zion, Barret knows better. Get with it, man! You ain’t got no respectability left to maintain!

I finish this in Mr. Mo. In front of me are two German tourists, and behind me are Koreans. Last night, Toto again slept outside my door, so maybe Datta Banana Leaf is haunted.

With even Saudi Arabia joining BRICS, the dollar collapsing, Europe in turmoil and America increasingly lawless and beyond stupid, a global war is inevitable, it seems, but not much will change in this corner of Laos. Sure, most tourists will disappear, but locals are well geared to eating less and spending next to nothing. Having been so lazily fished, there’s still plenty of protein left in the Mekong, and edible leaves grow wild. Laos will survive.

After all, this is where the best men prove themselves by needing less. Bone tough, they’re not soft like most others.
