Some points about Script posts, past and future. Enough has happened now that it’s worth laying out what they can and can’t offer. The last one was harsh for certain specific reasons. This one looks at what we can know and where it points. As repeated ad nauseam, I’m not a predictor, am invested in no specific narrative, and have no dog in the political race. When I get things right it’s because I’ve identified where patterns in events have to go. Barring a swerve, which I’ll note and adjust for.
One constant with multi-part structures or networks - like political systems - relates to trustworthiness. Any dishonesty - contradictions, logical impossibilities, hand-waving, misinformation, rhetorical answers for factual questions, etc. - indicates the whole formation isn’t what it presents itself as. Doesn’t indicate in what specific way it’s fake or to what extent, but that there is deception. And neither it nor its intentions should be trusted unless that is sufficiently addressed.
Thomas Nast, Party Boss political cartoon for Harper’s Weekly in 1862
For example, disinterest in politics began with the childhood recognition that [the party process] and [the spirit of a representative constitutional republic] are incompatible. There’s nowhere to go in-system from that. If interested in power, learn how society works and chart course that way.
For those who like labels I describe this approach as reality-facing. FTS-1. Information processors and learners who have different beliefs and knowledge bases but don’t accept House of Lies screens as a priori truth. In a psychotic kaleidoscope of late Clown, this leads to what Vox Day calls omninarrational skepticism. Where every one of the just-so narratives supporting the House of Lies on any level are suspect.
Band readers know to navigate this kaleidoscope inductively. Working out from what we can know and how we can know it. Observation and reason working together backstopped by faith, all in the appropriate epistemological places. Beast narrative is a thing to consider, not oracle of truth. It can be informative - usually not for the reasons it claims. For the material world of politics, status, and other social topics I just look for patterns in the informational noise. Logical and empirical tendencies holding consistently over time.
Sometimes these are vivid enough to project forward. Like the inevitability of systemic collapse after exposure to Wall Street-era Special Boy College culture. Or the importance of not being urban in the aughts. The Script was one of these. Just think back on the inorganic “Trump” phenomenon rolling over all opposition across all spectra without any real organic enthusiasm. To roughly Q narrative beats. Laying it out makes it more obvious than any long explanation. But it’s short on detail. What has to be, not the path to get there.
Another problem is that big trends don’t run forever. Eventually they get to the end point they were forecasting. The collapsing system collapses. Trump wins the election. I despise that old cuckservative “you won’t like it when X happens” impotent endless deferral. The non-weakling/retard/gatekeeper reaction understands this is happening, so what to do to be as ready/insulated as possible? Declining numeracy and literacy eventually will impact how things function. So how to be more antifragile? But once that endpoint is reached, the trends stop. Making it impossible to see what comes next. That takes new trajectories, and the Script era is too young still.
Trump’s win wrapped the inexorable narrative path to his election. Taking my ability to forecast with it. The pattern led where it was going, but didn’t indicate what came next. Actual governing. Because rough Q beats are the contrived narrative pattern. There are too many inconsistencies between a secret patriotic insurgency and the Scriptwriters by the fruits. One of the most important observations in the early Script posts - proof of concept - is mainting the House of Lies to an unknown degree. It’s using it to push its own narrative. One that corresponds to certain things that are going on in reality but isn’t exactly what it appears to be. Deceptive.
It was cautioned from the beginning that a declowned version of the House of Lies does not share boomercuck fantasies of 80s TV. And it’s also true that given where the full inversion of Clown World was heading, anyone else at the wheel is an improvement. The catch is how “improvement” is defined. The Script relies on pareidolia - followers finding hopes and dreams in narrative chaos. I see improvement as clearly definable material conditions with projectable trajectories of their own.
The techno-luciferian faux MAGA of the Scriptwriters is one important early Script observation. Another sheds light on the largest oddity of recent weeks. Trump isn’t calling the shots. This is the narrative concierge/NPC compiler. Consider the contrast between a) what’s starting to look like the rough outline of a massive but shaky geopolitical-economic strategy and b) a level of nonsense blather from “Trump” suggestive of cognitive decline. His character is a laser pointer. Public content and misdirection. He can prance about like a bloated fugazi as narrative concierges praise his genius and beast mouthpieces froth. As Script runs quietly in the background.
Note how much less inexplicable things are when Trump is recognized as pure mesmerizing rhetoric. A living meme. He can flop all over the place to cheers or derision because he doesn’t decide anything. He vacuums up all the attention. And his critics can’t hit what they can’t draw a bead on. Not saying he’s Biden tier. The Script’s basic old school Wharton economics are something he’s always held to. And he was tapped some time ago at least partly for ideological compatibility.
Considered by the fruits, the Script is still rolling. Domestically, corrupted injunctions are being systematically sunk. Inflation is down. Immigration is slowly shifting and the Overton window faster. Let’s see what the big bill has in it - too early to say, but it does seem to advance a lot of Script agenda. The deficit is a concern, but the creeping collapse of clown globalism is more so. Something to track forward.
Ukraine is getting yo-yoed but the grisly outcome is prefixed. No amount of impotent blather and self-pwning threats by The Script wing of the House of Lies withstanding. The ridiculous mini-Trump doppelgänger is as worthless as NATO’s outdated weapons. Although a continued demonstration of powerlessness should be clarifying to non-NPCs. The Script appears fully invested in genociding Gaza but no one’s died for Israel yet.1 Decouple “Trump’s” retarded cringapalooza from the dialectic and the advantage of splitting the laser pointer from the controllers is obvious.
Big picture, the goal still looks like managing the Clown collapse with a mix of autarkic fortifying and leveraging what dwindling advantages remain. At least until AI managed control systems are in place.2
Readers know I 100% favor long-term reindustrialization and force-motivating non-producers off checks and into work. But the strategic & logistical level moves aren’t happening that would have had to if real industrial rebirth was on the table. Attempts to strongarm compliance with the dying dollar system also seem chimeric. Remember, they’re running the House of Lies now. What they say is emotionally resonant because it’s Scripted. The Show we were told to enjoy. Just be mindful that dialectically, the narrative isn’t aiming at a 20th-century America conclusion. And that, speaking of “industry” …
The Script has shown a taste for maintaining industrial scale killing in Ukraine and Gaza.
By the fruits, or by what is happening in physical reality. Narrative concierges and other liars notwithstanding. When someone shows you what they are, best believe them. Keep eyes on antifragility and take advantage of better material times.

The point of Scriptposting isn’t to pick a side. It’s all the House of Lies. It’s to track the patterns in that House - for what’s happening big picture to plan for the future in a reality-facing way. Increased personal responsibility is rehumanizing. Just don’t fall for the laser pointer and judge by the fruits. All of them. In real time.
There is material progress toward improved domestic conditions. How far that goes is unknown. Pay attention and track forward. The three stooges are still yukking it up on the legal side. Epstein looks like the kind of NPC pulsing The Script has been great at, but it’s also triggering a lot of organic energy. I don’t have a “take” at this point, other than that none of it is itself organic. Follow it forward. Does justice get served? It would be a ratings record for the NPCs. But that’s for next season to reveal. Or not.
Tally up the blackpilling retards who were blathering that and have since owned up. You will know them by their fruits. NPCs can’t help it. Incapable of learning and driven by rhetoric, the powerless and broken ones prefer wallowing to truth. Readers aren’t NPCs. If given to this tendency, learn and stop.
I’ve been pretty far-sighted, and know others who are likewise. But I can’t think of a futurist who had The Matrix vs. Nothing Works Anymore as the singular clash of our time.
I've appreciated Miri AF's (@MIRIAF) takes also on interpreting the scripts for the forthcoming seasons. https://open.substack.com/pub/miri/p/uncivil-war?r=lp6h7&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Has there ever really been any plan in the Script other than can-kicking until Something Big?
One thing "elites" always have in common is risk aversion, and what they've been doing so far has worked, for them at least. What we're seeing is just brake-tapping, not preparing for a u-turn.
