Good goddamn question.
It’s the first of the month, so the drug overdoses and Narcan uses are coming in fast. One commenter: Just wondering why we have an endless supply of narcan, but we have shortages on necessary medications for the rest of us middle class hard working families?? Ridiculous. Yup.

Good for Master, not good for colony
Wolf shows graphs beautifully illustrating our Resource Colony status. Despite all the enviro loony publicity, underground coal production has been about steady since 1960. Surface mining rose tremendously from 1960 to 2002, then dropped back to 1960. We haven’t stopped PRODUCING at all, which is very good for the coal industry and the states where…

It’s all April 1 all the time now
Last week I wrote: = = = = = START QUOTE: On the other end of McDaniel we see another LBO. She was kicked out of RNC by Trump, who wanted to implant his own mistress as head of RNC. Trump is an LBO artist from the start, or in other words a gangster. He…

First example!
Are we starting to see a reform movement inside “social” “science”? DailyMail writes about two establishment “social” “scientists” who are saying something SENSIBLE and REAL. What’s more, these SENSIBLE and REAL facts run contrary to their vested interest. When a professional turns against his paycheck, I listen! = = = = = START QUOTE: There…

Reprint on elite influence
From last year. Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START REPRINT: Most of our institutions are stuck in a Parkinsonian positive feedback loop, often without any real reason. Corporations and universities and media channels keep punching and torturing and strangling their customers, and then they wonder why their customers are…

Where the elite meet to beat
Brownstone provides a progress report. I’m not going to impute bad motives to them, but I’m suspicious of their elite connections. They claim to be reforming the elite with secret “retreats” at hoity-toity resorts. Could be. But when the elite get together with the non-elite, the influence and power flows one way. Reforming the system…

What is a politician?
A politician is a salesman for broadcast media. TV started in 1948 as a way for people to watch live sports events. Radio was inadequate for the purpose. For a few decades TV provided a broader range of entertainment. Now it’s back to nothing but sports. There are four major-league sports on TV. Football, baseball,…

Gelatin and polarization
This gadget shown in a book by Silvanus Thompson grabbed my attention. It was an attempt to polarize electromagnetic waves using mirrors. There isn’t much info on it, and it doesn’t appear to have proved anything. It sounds like a dead end, but with more persistence it could have led to a momentous discovery. Augusto…

Another niche switch
Since I’m in adding another example mode this week… The latest issue of Collectible Auto has an article on Kissel, an example of the smart niche switch. I’d heard of Kissel Kars but wasn’t aware of their niche switch and second life. Kissel was founded in 1909 in Hartford, Wisconsin. Hartford is a smallish city…

Clarifier
The three-way division of sales targets into Conservative Prospects, Step-up Prospects and Luxury Prospects seems to have been common currency among all the dealers. For my purposes the division serves as an illuminator. It’s not a unique division by any means; the ancient and Orwellian caste divisions are exactly parallel. Auto Ancient Orwell Conservative Prospect…

Earth Hour!
Might as well keep up this tradition, which I started in 2011. Repeating the 2017 piece, tributing the previous association of electric power with beauty. Electric Parks and Luna Parks were beautiful and ENTERTAINING places, built to provide a terminus for streetcar lines. The streetcars then brought electricity from the hydro dam or coal-powered plant…

Kirn quibble
Kirn: We are never at peace anymore. Wartime restrictions are being instituted across every segment of society & culture. Even at the height of the Cold War there were mainstream, popular, & ruthless satires of the great bureaucratic, military, & corporate powers. Yup. This situation isn’t new; the same total control happened during Wilson. There’s…

Not complicated
“Independents” are seeing Deepstate involvement in the Baltimore bridge collapse, which turned an ironic national anthem into a melting iron sculpture by Dali. Impressive piece of installation art. Jimi Hendrix, eat your guitar strings! Nah. Unnecessary complexity. The event isn’t being portrayed as an attack. If media was treating it as an attack, then we…
