Basically, every informed person in Washington knew—for decades—that an Iran War would be a disaster, yet the system failed to prevent a senile, corrupt, bumbling egomaniac from starting it anyway.

What good is superb intelligence, if the ultimate decision is in the hands of an idiot?

The next generation of Bond films should be set in the 1960s. A present-day setting would likely just be an inferior imitation of the Craig films.

By setting them in the 60s, they could avoid present-day political issues and tonally shift the series away from pessimism.

Edward Dutton on how Jason Arday was inevitable as the priestly cycle of universities played out.

https://counter-currents.com/2026/08/jason-arday-was-inevitable/

It somehow seems appropriate to let BBC Pidgin handle this story.

Jason Arday is probably not an isolated case.

Arday's rise to academic stardom was a product of attitudes and incentives promoting racial and sexual diversity at the expense of competence that are universal in Western academia.

Those same ideas and incentives have have governed the academic careers of every other non-white, female, and LGBT academic.

Therefore, we should expect to find similar patterns of academic fraud.

Academia is in a panic about Jason Arday because this is just the beginning.

Leftists are claiming Jason Arday's death was caused by those who held him to account.

The implication is that he should have just been allowed to continue to get away with his corruption and dishonesty because he was black.

Accepting such standards would be the real crime.

If I had the money, I would employ someone full time to unmask every fake black academic. It can't be hard.
