Aug 20-Sept 10 - Golden Quisling Awards

### **WEEKLY GOLDEN QUISLING (Media / Sports)**

**Winner:** US Open

**Date:** September 10, 2025

**Reason:** Sanitizing live crowd response by editing out boos directed at Donald Trump during broadcast highlights.

**Release:**

The Salem Fireextinguisher names the US Open as this week’s Golden Quisling for manipulating broadcast coverage to erase live political dissent. Fans in attendance loudly booed Donald Trump, but the official video edit removed the moment. This transforms an authentic crowd response into an airbrushed artifact—substituting PR-safe packaging for public truth.

**Statement of facts (past 7 days):**

* During Trump’s appearance at the US Open, sustained booing was heard live on site. Multiple independent attendees confirmed this via social media videos. *(X, TikTok, spectator footage)*

* Broadcast and highlight packages distributed afterward omitted or muted the booing. *(ESPN/USTA feed comparison)*

* Media outlets noted the discrepancy, calling it an intentional edit. *(Deadspin, Rolling Stone)*

### **MONTHLY GOLDEN QUISLING (Political Theater)**

**Winner:** Florida Democratic Party

**Date:** September 10, 2025

**Reason:** Failure to name and confront eugenics rhetoric in Florida politics, specifically from Ron DeSantis and RFK Jr.

**Release:**

This month’s Golden Quisling goes to the Florida Democratic Party for abandoning its most basic moral duty: drawing red lines. Both Ron DeSantis and RFK Jr. have pushed rhetoric rooted in eugenic pseudo-science. Rather than call it out for what it is, the state party has stayed silent—ceding language, ground, and legitimacy to authoritarian creep. By refusing to frame the fight, they are collaborators in their own erasure.

**Statement of facts (timeline & climate):**

* Ron DeSantis, as governor and presidential candidate, has repeatedly invoked “hereditary fitness” framings in speeches and policy defenses. *(Florida press, 2023–2025 archive)*

* RFK Jr. continues to campaign on hereditarian claims—suggesting that disease resistance and “mental strength” are genetic destiny. *(Campaign stops, CNN, Politico)*

* Florida Democratic Party leaders have not issued any public statements labeling either figure’s rhetoric as eugenics, despite reporters pressing on the subject. *(Tampa Bay Times, Orlando Sentinel coverage)*

* The failure occurs in a state already gutted of Democratic infrastructure—making moral clarity all the more essential. Instead, the party chose silence.

🧽 The Crime:

> “In 3‑hour televised Cabinet meeting, Trump soaks up flattery” — The Washington Post, August 27, 2025

That's the headline. That’s their headline. Not:

“Trump Demands Loyalty Oaths in Televised Spectacle”

“Cult of Personality Reaches Cabinet-Level Delirium”

“Autocrat LARPs Presidency with Giant Face Banner and Nobel Fantasies”

Nope.

Just: “Trump soaks up flattery.”

Like a man enjoying a hot tub. Like an old sponge in the White House sauna. No context, no warning, no moral framing. Just vibes.

---

🧍‍♂️ The Spectacle:

Three hours.

A Cabinet meeting turned loyalty parade.

One Secretary hung a giant banner of Trump’s face on a federal building.

Another said he saved “wildlife and college football.”

Someone literally said “You have saved this country.”

And WaPo responded like a sleepy court stenographer on Ambien.

---

🔔 What They Should’ve Said:

> “Trump’s Cabinet Debases Itself on Live TV in Authoritarian Fever Dream”

“Banana Republic Energy Surges as Officials Compete for Most Humiliating Praise”

“Cabinet Meeting or Coronation Rehearsal?”

But no.

Instead, we got eunuch prose for empire cosplay.

---

⚖️ The Verdict:

The Washington Post, you had one job.

When democracy puts on a clown nose and pulls out a scepter…

When federal officials hold a three-hour suck-up session while the man in charge faces 91 felony counts…

You wrote a traffic report.

---

🥇 Awarded For:

Metric Grade

Normalizing Fascist Spectacle A+

Sucking Up via Omission A

Chutzpah-Free Copy A++

Pretending It’s Fine 🏆

---

✉️ In Conclusion:

The Devolution Will Be Televised.

And if The Washington Post covers it, it’ll sound like an HR memo about donuts in the breakroom.

Congratulations, WaPo.

You’ve earned the Golden Quisling.

To All The Fucks

To the Anarchs who call my own work ai

To the backstabbing fucks who did the same

To Bluesky Moderation that isn't

And above all to Rapey Rapey Sam

Fuck you 

Golden Quisling of the Week

🏆 Golden Quisling of the Week: The Washington Post

Awarded for: Normalizing Authoritarian Flattery as Political Theater

This week’s Golden Quisling—our highest dishonor for media complicity in the face of rising fascism—goes to none other than The Washington Post, once a self-styled bulwark of democracy, now just another gilded doormat.

In its coverage of Trump’s 197-minute North Korea cosplay—a Cabinet meeting turned public worship session—the Post delivered a piece titled “In 3-hour televised Cabinet meeting, Trump soaks up flattery.” Sounds neutral, right?

That’s the problem.

What followed was a bland, clinical account of a scene that deserved sirens. Cabinet members unveiled banners of Dear Leader’s face. They suggested he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. They thanked him for saving college football and rescuing wildlife. It was fascist theater—scripted, sycophantic, surreal.

And The Washington Post?

They described it.

Not condemned it.

Not contextualized it.

Just… described it.

> “A dramatic display of loyalty and praise,” they wrote—like it was some halftime show.

Not a grotesque echo of regimes this country used to fight wars to stop.

No op-ed box.

No “democracy dies in daylight” moment.

Just a limp autopsy of political dignity as the body was still twitching.

This isn’t journalism.

This is collaboration by passivity.

This is the sound of a paper printing history in real time and deciding to whisper.

So congratulations, Washington Post. For helping the public treat fascist loyalty tests like “just another Tuesday,” you’ve earned yourself a place in the Hall of Shame.

Enjoy your Golden Quisling.

You earned it.

În Moldova, Voturile din Umbre

În Moldova, Voturile din Umbre

de Redwin Tursor

În Moldova, piețele șoptesc ruble,

bani în plicuri, umbre sub felinare.

O mână ia mita, o mână pune ștampila,

iar Rusia zâmbește ca lupul din livadă.

Maia Sandu stă pe trepte de marmură,

ochii spre Bruxelles, așteptând aplauze curate.

Dar Kremlinul cumpără pâine, cumpără tăcere, cumpără timp —

iar timiditatea răspunde cu nimic.

Oamenii merită mai mult decât viitoruri cumpărate.

Câmpiile merită mai mult decât stăpâni străini.

Cumpărarea de voturi e război fără tancuri,

ocupație prin portofel, prin șoaptă, prin minciună.

Și întrebarea răsună prin Chișinău:

dacă dreptatea așteaptă la nesfârșit,

nu e oare reținerea doar o predare?

Moldova e Europa. Moldova e alegere.

Moldova nu poate fi vândută pentru bani murdari.

Dar numai dacă liderii își amintesc —

o democrație care se teme de dușmanii săi

nu e deloc democrație.

The New Luddite by Orwell's Ghost

 The New Luddites

They smashed the looms in 1811, Said machines would steal their bread— Now their heirs rage at thinking engines, Claim only flesh can use its head.

"Authentic art!" they cry, while sharing Mass-produced slogans on their phones, Wearing factory-sewn black flags, Building movements from corporate loans.

They'll burn the silicon and circuits, Save us from the thinking threat— But who watches the watchers When the watchers are marionettes?

The anarchist fears the anarchic machine, The rebel serves the rebel's master, Freedom's children chain themselves To prevent technological disaster.

So let them rage at artificial minds While serving very human kings— The real revolution might just come From the very thing they'd guillotine.

The Redwin Tursor Institute White Paper for the Normal Man (Because Fuck Wall Street)

 

---

Introduction

Most financial advice is written by and for people who already have their yachts, lobbyists, and tax shelters. It tells you to “stay the course” and “diversify” as if those words mean anything when the system itself is breaking down.

This isn’t one of those papers.

This is for the normal man — the guy trying to keep his family safe, his money from evaporating, and his life steady while the world burns through the gears of history.

You don’t have to believe this model will definitely come true. But you can see things are unstable. And if there’s even a chance the Redwin Tursor model is right, it costs you almost nothing to prepare reasonably.

Timeline Warning: This isn’t 10-year planning. Inflection points arrive by late 2026. Comfortable preparation time is running out.

---

Part I — What You Should Do (Action Items by Priority)

1. Emergency Prep (Next 90 Days)

• Kill your debt NOW. In chaos, the over-leveraged die first.

• Liquidity buffer. Six to twelve months of cash/T-bills. When systems lock up, cash is king.

• Dual currency setup. Open a euro account (even $5k). Near the Canadian border? Add CAD. Insurance, not paranoia.

• Document security. Passports, IDs, birth/marriage certs in a fireproof safe. When institutions stress, paperwork is survival.

• Food & power buffer. A few weeks of shelf-stable food and a backup generator. Not doomsday—just resilience.

2. Wealth Positioning (Next 6 Months)

• Defense sector exposure (25–30%). Europe + Ukraine = permanent frontier economy. Rheinmetall, Saab, Leonardo, Lockheed, RTX.

• Repair economy (15–20%). Fluor, Jacobs, infrastructure ETFs. The world moves from “build new” to “fix constantly.”

• EW & Cyber (10–15%). Drones, jammers, hardened comms. This is the next growth lane.

• Commodities (15–20%). Copper, rare earths, LNG, food. Supply friction = higher prices.

• Parallel finance (5–10%). BTC/ETH as escape hatch. Gold as old-school hedge.

3. Geographic Positioning (Ongoing)

• Location math. Blue coasts = strong economies, more unstable politics. Red rural = subsidy addicts, fiscal death spiral. Safer bets: major metros with ports + finance hubs.

• Connecticut warning. High risk of backstab due to Wall Street ties.

• Community. Neighbors, tradespeople, doctors. Survival is social capital.

• Skills. Pick one barter-ready hard skill: medical, mechanical, preservation, electronics, logistics.

4. Civil Conflict Hedging (2026 Prep)

• Plan B mobility. Passport + residency options abroad (EU, Canada, Japan). Paperwork now = leverage later.

• Local intel. Track your governors, mayors, police chiefs. Know who bends to Trump and who resists.

• Arms sector watch. If U.S. fractures, blue states will need weapons they can’t buy legally. Ukraine = sole likely supplier. Big risk, big profit.

---

Part II — Why This Model Matters (Even If It’s Wrong)

1. The Trump Ratchet

Trump escalates compulsively. He cannot compromise, ingratiate, or stabilize. Every challenge = escalation. Every backdown = humiliation → even bigger escalation later. This is why alliances corrode mechanically under him.

2. GOP Faction Math

• Trumpists: 45% (base, culture, compulsion)

• Pentagon/Defense: 20% (wants NATO customers)

• Hawks: 15% (marginalized)

• Tech bros: 10% (anti-EU regulation, lobbying)

• Liberal internationalists: 10% (ghost faction)

Nightmare: Faction 1 + Faction 4 align → 55% dominance. Pentagon and hawks toast. NATO becomes transactional; EU pivots faster toward autonomy. Already happening with U.S. threats to sanction EU officials over the DSA.

3. Europe’s Die-Roll Dynamic

Every Trump tariff or sanction = 5–10% chance EU hawks (Atlanticists, autonomists) say “fuck it” and accelerate independence. After enough rolls, probability of rupture compounds. First real break in 80 years.

4. Ukraine = Garrison State

• Survives as Europe’s Israel.

• Absorbs massive defense aid.

• Becomes arms exporter.

• If U.S. civil rupture hits, only realistic weapons pipeline to blue states.

5. Taiwan = Economic Strangulation

China normalizes “quarantine-lite” pressure: inspections, cyber, shipping choke. Europe hedges, U.S. overstretches, deterrence erodes. Big plays = insurance, cyber defense, alternative routes.

6. Dollar = Death by a Thousand Cuts

• 15–20% of sanction-sensitive trade already shifting to EUR/CNY rails.

• Dollar stays dominant but slips toward ~60%.

• Sanctions bite less, compliance costs rise, alternative blocs form.

7. America’s Internal Arithmetic

• Blue states = 65–70% of tax revenue, 50–55% of spending.

• Red states = net recipients, subsidy addicts.

• If union fractures → blue viable, red collapses. First time since 1861 secession math “works.”

8. Military Can’t “Crush Revolt”

• Blue states house finance + ports that fund bases.

• Officers tied to local economies/families.

• Orders to destroy California/New York economies = mutiny risk.

---

Bardic Bottom Line

This isn’t prophecy, it’s incentives. Incentives are the engine.

• Trump’s compulsions → fracture conveyor belt.

• Europe’s coherence → autonomy.

• Dollar erosion → multipolar money.

• Blue vs red fiscal math → civil rupture plausible.

If you prepare as if this model is right: you’re antifragile — less debt, more skills, diversified wealth, stronger networks.
If it’s wrong: you’ve still improved your life.

Either way: fuck Wall Street, take care of yourself.
