More Jones
Continuing from previous item. There’s a more important factor. It’s not just the asking, it’s the location of the ask. The DeSantis campaign hasn’t appeared in my email, AND the DeSantis campaign hasn’t been using Substack. Haley used both. The Haley campaign seems to understand that their buyers are disgusted with mass media. The DeSantis…

Learning yet?
Elon’s admirers are finally catching on. He’s a demon. He’s Deepstate. Elon handed carefully filtered “revelations” to naive dummy Taibbi, and Taibbi plastered them all over Substack. Now Elon has officially tinfoiled Substack and refuses to let people link there from Twitter. Will the naive dummy start learning about real life? I doubt it. His…

She asked
I swore I’d never donate to another politician. Just now I donated to Nikki Haley’s campaign. Why? She is a neocon, but she’s firmly on the right side on NAZI TORTURE, and has a good governing record on industry vs finance. DeSantis has a MUCH stronger record on the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, but he…

Be your own magnet
Lately I’ve been trying to expand the analog side of my life, after retracting into a digital shell during the hottest part of the NAZI TORTURE. I was functioning in OBEYING ALL ORDERS VERBATIM SIR! NAME RANK AND SERIAL NUMBER SIR! mode. Now I’m trying to recapture the analog/digital proportion that I had before the…

Shadowbanometry
Shadowbanning and cancelling are useful measuring devices. I’m listening to some VC types discussing Balaji’s strange bet. I have exactly zero gambling genes, so my understanding of this type of behavior is extremely dim at best. After listening several times and thinking, I sort of halfway semi-understand: Balaji is known to hold far more than…

Sucking, not blowing
MindMatters notes an increasing discontent with AI among musicians. “We tried to use these machines to express something extremely moving that a machine cannot feel, but a human can,” he continued. “We were always on the side of humanity and not on the side of technology.” Bangalter said that the timing of Daft Punk’s 2021…

Yes sir, she’s my puzzle
One neighbor has been playing a puzzling form of music for many months. Not annoyingly loud, just weirdly monotonous. It sounds like tuned bongos or tuned snares. At first I thought it was a school band practicing their marches, but there’s no school band nearby. I never hear any bass guitar or other actual instruments,…

Today I learned….
A pro-bitcoin redditor is using an interesting and worthwhile fact to make an invalid argument. The Nevada gaming commission stipulates that a casino must hold in reserves enough cash to cover every chip in play on its floor. Meanwhile the Federal Reserve stipulates that banks must hold in reserves between 0% to 3% worth of…

More on the 2015 purge
Closely connected to yesterday’s discussion of 2015. Sailer is citing a survey of news media across MANY countries. Graphs show the rise of ‘wokish’ language. The author was only looking for versions of the usual phobia and anti and ism words. He was wisely ignoring pronouns. Most languages have grammatical gender, so he might be…

Lot of silliness
Reading some comments on AI. Some were hopelessly behind the times. “What if AI passes the Turing test?” “What will happen when we give AI the nuclear codes?” Already passed the Turing Test, already has the nuclear codes. The famous story of Blessed Hero Stanislav Petrov proves it. In the early ’80s both sides were…

Postmodern dream
This morning’s dream was set in a future without social media. Achievements were no longer recognized by blue checks or Likes. Achievements were recognized by fastening a metal plate to a giant kiosk or carousel, something like the carousel formerly used for order tickets in restaurants. I knew a black lady who was doing an…

Bet on Saudi vector
Time to make a sort of bet or speculation. I don’t have high confidence in this one. Obvious facts: 1. 9/11 was an attack by Saudi forces, motivated and organized by CIA and FBI. Osama was basically a mercenary. 2. We “responded” to 9/11 by attacking Iraq and Afghanistan, who had only the slightest semi-imaginary…

Credit footnote
I’ve been quoting this wonderful piece of wisdom often, but forgot the original source. I found the original just now when I was looking back through Gaian stuff in connection with RFK. I first quoted it in 2011. The source was Jim Hopkins in New Zealand, writing on the GWPF anti-Gaian website, which no longer…

Right strategy
RFK jr is running for president inside the D party. He’s obviously a pied piper. Remember: Before he started this crap, he was the head lawyer for the Gaian movement. He didn’t switch sides. He piedpipered the antivaxers into the Gaian movement, and now he’s hoping to use their strong support to elect Trump. He…

Reprint from 2015
While looking for links on permanent status, noticed this piece in 2015. At that time the current Total War was in its prep stages. I was trying to trace out the vague forebodings of a coming purge, without knowing which way it would go. This piece focused mainly on religion and culture. I was also…
