Infrastructure Convergence Part 01
Bezos' monster
The recent incident of a foreign truck driver causing the deaths of three people on a highway, two of them children, have woken people up to a horrifying situation that industry insiders and noticers-in-general have been aware of for a while now.
When the Biden regime swept to power on a questionable and corrupt election in 2020, there was an unspoken standing order to reverse everything done in the previous four years, and to do anything & everything to get America back on the track it was supposed to be when Clinton was coronated in 2016.
There are hundreds of things that were breathed into life, or brought back to life, or conjured from the muck & tar of progressive thought, and only a few have come to light so far. I promise you, it is going to get so much worse. That is not to take away from how bad some of these things are, and I am going to drill down into what the Biden Regime did to the intranational logistics system.
Trump bears the lion's share of guilt for the initial response to the Covid Hoax, as he should. It's not his fault, but he was duped by the likes of Fauci and Brix. I personally believe Trump is much smarter than he portrays himself, and definitely smarter than many people credit him with being, which reflects even worse upon him in this instance. His bungling of the Covid Hoax is literally his only sin as president that really matters, as far as I'm concerned1.
It is currently a popular talking point to say that Trump 1.0 didn't do anything, didn't get anything done, and wasn't effective. Given that the entire administration was suffocating under a cloud of completely spurious charges regarding a phone call with the murderous Jew of Kiev, it's actually impressive that Trump 1.0 did get enough done to warrant a Biden regime overcorrection. If Clinton had been elected in 2016, the global war on Russia would have started sometime between 2018 and 2019, tricking the American population into sticking with a wartime lady president regardless of how thoroughly she had botched everything else.
Forestalling Obama 3.0 was enough to make Trump one of the most important presidents of modern history, but he didn't stop there. Yes, he was ill equipped to handle the stench of the swamp, and it can be readily admitted that he did not have a good team, and did not do much of anything he promised to do. But that's not to say that he did nothing. In fact, he did so much more because he had to fight through unbelievable hurdles just to get to the starting line. So it is fair to say he didn't finish the race, but it's not fair to say he wasn't running at all, metaphorically speaking.
Besides snatching victory from that awful and soulless shrew, he also rammed through enough domestic policy that the Biden regime had their hands quite full getting America back on a negative trajectory.
It is pretty obvious that most White people suffer from Protagonistia, aka Main Character Syndrome. It's not terminal, and honestly it can be a real benefit to a boring person's life, not to mention it can lead to great fun for people who don't suffer from it living with those that do. But when you add millions of vicious minorities to the social equation, and give them a whole suite of privileges & rights that are denied to real Americans, you get to a terrible place where lots of White people are thinking they are the purpose of everything going on around them, and lots of other-colored people clumsily aping them. This is a fascinating topic that deserves its own essay, but I bring it up here to set up the following.
Too many of us are too easily bamboozled by headlines. Big print plus big picture is able to trap most of our minds into thinking there is a big situation requiring big attention. This is an artifact of biology and is very hard to counter without direct access to more than a few tin foil hat friends always ready to dump water on you by informing you of various other horrors beyond your comprehension when you start bedwetting over the latest faux-tastrophe. So, if you take people who think they are the main character, and you throw big print plus big picture at them every 10-14 days, you can basically lead them around by the nose wherever you want them to go, and their crowd of fans and sycophants will follow like goats circling a fire in some weird, subcon séance.
The standard method for manipulating popular sentiment, which itself is a methodology for teeing up Politicians to act a certain way, which itself is a method for restricting the options of Controllers, is to concatenate moral or social panics at approximately two week intervals. You keep people in an anxious and needing-to-learn state as they contend with a fresh horror, and just as the furor starts to plateau, you jam them into a completely unrelated but no less anxiety-inducing situation with a new headline.
This cycle of social manipulation needs to be understood, and eventually a fleet of helicopters needs to be built to correct it. But what I want to focus on is the obvious but unremarkable fact that behind, underneath, and between these manufactured crises, the slow march of state ceaselessly stumbles on. 9/11 managed to stop air travel for a few days. The Corona Hoax managed to stop industry & commerce for a few days. But everything had to keep going because America in its current configuration is literally a dead man running.
The dynamics of the Running Dead Man are a topic I will get into in part two, but for this segment you must accept that it is the case. The dead man has to keep striding forward at all costs, and everything else is secondary to that. Big Print + Big Picture is a very effective tool for keeping people's attention off of the mass of little things, and regular readers of this blogstack know that the important big things are made up of thousands of little things.
While you are worrying about some highly publicized and generally controversial person or event, scores of seemingly inconsequential things are occurring at all levels of the Society Governance Stack. This is part of the reason that no matter how many big victories we seemed to score, Cthulhu continued swimming left. This first year of Trump 2.0 is a reversal of the situation, and it demonstrates quite thoroughly that this methodology is not restricted to the progressive triune2.
It's a good thing, and it needs to keep happening, but incalculable amounts of damage were done in the 4 years of the cadaverous Biden Regime. Trump is responsible for letting the COVID genie out of the bottle, but the Biden Soliton3 is the one that made the three wishes. "Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve" set the unholy precedent for all of us to sit on our hands and accept any & every emergency measure the Permanent Bureaucratic Oligarchy could dream up. We now know that none of it was based on actual facts, rather it was a miasma of longhouse vibes that dictated the tenor and tempo of the "response."
While the Professional Managerial Class was wrecking the country in the name of safetyism based on housefrau vibes, industry & commerce had to keep chugging along to forestall a general collapse. To do this, USG gave a blank check to the likes of Amazon & Walmart for the purpose of opening the floodgates and allowing our cultural tendency to consume-maxx. And consooom we did. Mom & Pop Brick n’ Mortar establishments were ruthlessly executed while corporate box stores supplied everything necessary to keep the population safely ensconced in our hamster cages.
While they are not the only offenders, Amazon is the best target for this case study because their contribution to the problem is widespread and egregious. When you subtract all of their propaganda and high-minded corporate rhetoric, Amazon is an inefficient logistics company that survives purely due to the enormous appetite for mostly useless products made and shipped from overseas. On average, they lose hundreds of millions of dollars to gross inefficiencies, fraud, and theft. Their L&D numbers are truly staggering, but it doesn't matter so long as we keep adding things to the cart and buying them. USG prints the paper and Amazon collects it.
The rash of infrastructure expansion by Amazon during peak coronatarianism is, in my somewhat informed opinion, unparalleled in American history. Their logistical model, in very rough summary, consists of three big parts: intake, sorting, and outflow4. So long as the population kept purchasing, the only limit on their growth was their ability to stand up sortation centers and expand delivery infrastructure.
This will come as a shock to most of you: Amazon does not have any drivers. The blue vests and eyeless smile logo confound a lot of people, but none of those trucks or drivers live on Amazon's balance sheet outside of contractor pay orders. The vast majority of Amazon employees are dedicated to sortation, with the balance serving to keep the sort tempo high and rising. Amazon is the heart and arteries, consumer products are the blood, and the purchasing population is the impetus for circulation.
So long as the packages keep arriving, Amazon is free to maintain constituent structures that don't make a profit, indeed rarely or never break even. This has been their model for a long time, but the Covid Hoax required them to step on the gas pedal. There was little capacity for the expansion required; not enough trucks, not enough drivers. An already "fast & loose" transport model was expanded further, and the primary method was refusing to dig into the credentials, certifications, and abilities of the logistics subcontractors. Relatively large chunks of cash were made available up front to anyone who was willing to commit to the grueling and ceaseless schedule of picking up from the facility and delivering to the domicile every day.
This mass of transporters can be broken into two general categories: delivery on the back end (those are the vans you see everywhere) and delivery on the front end (those are the tractor trailers). Neither of these categories are a part of the company in any meaningful sense; all of them are contractors and subcontractors. Not only did Amazon not care who was showing up to do the job, they actively ignored and even suppressed any information or methods that might have made capability, capacity, or responsibility their problem in a legal sense. This was achieved with subtle and rigorous standards of work and methods for creating a very bright invisible line between Company and Contractor5.
The Covid Hoax was so totalizing that there was no end of governors, mayors, board members, and bureaucrats willing to facilitate this expansion. These participants were critical to making sure nothing precluded drivers from donning the vests & decals. Any truckers associations or independent operators who might have spoken up or declined to participate were "run off the road" by whatever means were available. The Obama Regime had put together the precursors and, after a delay thanks to the Trump Regime trying to actually address real problems in intranational logistics, the Biden Regime put it all together and stepped on the gas pedal.
Even as good Americans were deprived of the ability to work jobs and feed their families by being talented and useful truckers, crowds of shithole denizens were imported, run through a joke of a training & certification process, then unleashed upon our interstate transport system. Minority middlemen were free to set up shell companies to feed off of and perpetuate this hyper-consumption acceleration scheme. Whenever one of these invaders wrecked their rig, Amazon's highly paid legal department danced around accountability, and the in-place enforcement mechanisms were disregarded, or sometimes even deployed to facilitate the shifting of culpability.
As the Covid Hoax dissipated, so too did the endless river of fiat currency available to Amazon and other mega corporations. Massive sums still flow from government to these titans, meaning Amazon and the others, but there was a marked reduction in cash flow. In 2020-2022, the quality, and amount of perks & toys foisted upon the operations elements of Amazon's logistics were hilarious. Sometimes, thousands of dollars of expensive apparel and electronic devices were handed out as lubrication for the harrowing level of expected work; 14-hour days for weeks on end with the sole goal of pushing parcels through the system at breakneck speed. That practice went away, but the workload did not reduce appreciably.
Alongside the massive expansion of on-road logistics was an expansion of dumb labor jobs available to anyone with a heartbeat for the purposes of maintaining the bloated supply chain. You can find hundreds of videos championing automation and robotics, but the documented reality is low IQ, semi-literate crowds of laborers performing soul crushingly repetitive tasks that keep the hyper-consumption machine running. While the migrants tearing up the interstates are currently in the spotlight, you would do well to remember that those massive, windowless facilities provide hundreds of thousands of make-work jobs for illegals, criminals, and idiots6.
Amazon got in bed with USG in a marriage of convenience that kept anyone who might dissent safely locked away from a fabricated pandemic while simultaneously providing millions of make work jobs to societal dregs who would otherwise be milling about, committing petty crime, and generally accelerating the third-worldification of our homeland.
While I cannot categorically state whether or not this was all intentional, I am convinced that the goal was to create an entity that kept the more productive and valuable elements of the population sated with bottomless consumption options while simultaneously providing what amounts to a UBI (universal basic income) scheme that ostensibly appears to be real jobs for real people. If the marriage of the Biden and Bezos Solitons had been allowed to persist in perpetuity, one day there would have been two life trajectory options for all of us: work for USG, or work for Amazon.
For whatever reason, God has seen fit to deprive us of this more than deserved hell on Earth, at least for now. The Mandate of Heaven has been given to Trump, and our slow slide into Brezhnevian Malaise has been temporarily halted. All real Americans should thank Nature's God everyday for the ascendancy of the Trump Regime. But there are no endings in real life, happy or otherwise. The shambling disaster that is the United States continues forward, and the consequences of the power grab during the Covid Hoax cannot be solved quickly or easily.
Fixing our country, if it can be fixed at all, is going to be painful and costly. It has been demonstrated repeatedly over the past 6 months that greater conservatism is populated by fair-weather friends and crybaby supporters. The millisecond any turbulence or friction occurs, thousands of these retards throw up their hands and start wishing for the resumption of decline under the auspices of progressive control. As I and my betters have repeatedly stated, Mass Deportations are the universal predicate for any kind of worthwhile future.
You may disagree with this. I don’t care.
Sodomites, shrews, and pet minorities.
This is incredible political theoretic analysis. That account is a hidden gem; fascinating insights and constant food for thought. You need to read the thread, but in summary, “Biden” as referred to in media was actually an unfixed group of advisors & cronies who would vie for the ability to set policy. I’m not able to do it justice through summary. Read the thread, because it is a powerful tool for mapping power.
There is a lot more technical nuance here, and it should be understood at a granular level, but we shall stay within the realm of generalities for now.
I know this is confusing, and I don’t begrudge you your skepticism. The murkiness and illogic are features, not bugs.
Important note: though they share a name and reputation, Amazon the logistics company and AWS are completely distinct entities. I will dive into the data center fiasco at a later date.
