Reaches the same conclusion
Ramesh Thakur writing for Brownstone reaches the same conclusion that I reached a couple years ago. Thakur is comparing the British Post Office mess, which was finally compensated way too late, with the “virus” holocaust, which hasn’t even decisively stopped let alone compensated. The two monstrosities are infinitely different in scale. The PO mess ruined…

Folly houses reprint
Reprinting solely to add an interesting fact that lends weight to one side of my guesses and eliminates the other side. Fact: Vintage.es shows city officials smashing pinball machines with the same gusto that they smashed kegs of beer. Pinball is about as innocent as you can get in the whole historical realm of gambling,…

Exact parallel
Business Insider says that tired and disgusted workers are demanding cubicles, after two decades of QE and ZIRP and the idiotic WeWork “open offices”. = = = = = START QUOTE: Little did anyone realize that within a few years, the cubicle walls would come crashing down. The tech boom arrived, bringing with it open…

Amazing!
Federal courts are starting to make a few SANE decisions, counteracting the Gaian demons who are trying to kill all peasants so Bezos can own the world. 1. The Osage, who have been at the bottom of the economic totem pole for decades, are finally winning an important battle. In the area between Ponca and…

Witch hunts end…
When the torches start burning the igniters. This applies to all sorts of evil fads and trends, not just witch hunts. Harvard seems to have broken the long-term wildly destructive trend of credentialism when its highly credentialed president and Chief Inquisitor foolishly inquisited Correct Persons. Now the broad movement against college is accelerating, which is…

Since 1975
We’ve been a colony of China since Nixon surrendered to them in 1975. Everything we do is aimed at reserving our natural resources for the Mother Country. Environmentalism eliminates our own consumption of coal and oil and natural gas so we can send all of it to China. This article by a railroad man gives…

Knowing a place
Industry on Parade paid far more attention to Kansas and Oklahoma than any modern TV show. Many of the features were in that area. They showed Capper’s farm magazine interviewing a modern farmer, a flood in the Argentine industrial area of KCK, aircraft production at Boeing, an oil exhibition in Tulsa, and the Picher lead…

Deeper into lunacy
If elite groups were really concerned about peasants hating them and distrusting them, the elites wouldn’t try so ferociously hard to be hated and distrusted. They would say something that happens to agree with reality once in a few decades. The latest absurdity from “scientists”: Picking your nose causes Alzheimers. Granted that DailyMail always manages…

Pure cult
Still grouching about spam. Recent spam from the Trump campaign has been disgusting in a specifically Christian way. An earlier email asked me if I preferred to get a handshake or a HUG from Our Lord Trump. ARRRGH! Just now: = = = = = START QUOTE: I’ll never stop loving you! THIS IS PRESIDENT…

Real vs fake metrology
I’ve observed for a long time that the public voices for Populism are mostly fake, mostly serving Wall Street with fake “solutions” that help the banks. There might be some exceptions, but the exceptions don’t seem to stay in the public eye. The only REAL populist in American history was FDR, who didn’t sound like…

Branded obliteration
The algorithms that drive advertising for real companies are smart. Online ads for software or other services do an excellent job of reflecting my tastes as expressed here, or in my past purchases. Online ads for political purposes are dumb. They consistently assume that I’m a standard Repooflican who loves guns and hates taxes. I’ve…

Real Shannon
Typically investigators and “former” Deepstaters tell us what we already know, serving Deepstate’s purposes. Here’s a nice exception to the rule. An investigator using classic Deepstate traffic analysis methods has found a new intel program. It’s more of a purpose than an agency, engaging hundreds of private contractors to do the work so it’s harder…

Well balanced
The Brits have always been masters of balanced mechanisms and balanced circuits. From the British radio magazine Radio Pictorial, 1934. A radio star is posing with the old well at her family farm, pretending to draw some water. Our old wells were unbalanced, just one handle. The British old well was similar to a steam…

More supreme suckers
More redundant evidence that bitcoiners are the supreme suckers. The Energy Information Agency is asking bitcoin miners to report their energy usage. The miners are getting all IndividualSovereign and threatening to sue. Don’t they realize that they are BUYING ELECTRICITY FROM THE POWER COMPANY? Don’t they realize that the power company has a METER at…

Wrong end as usual
Bloomberg reports on a rather dumb lawsuit against AI. Will Sasso and his team put together a fake video of George Carlin doing an after-death routine. Carlin’s estate sued on two grounds: copyright infringement for the text, and using the image and voice. Seems like the estate’s lawyers should have done more research before filing.…
