  • 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.…

  • Should have guessed!

    Henrique Bucher writes a substack on computer coding as used by stock traders. I’ve enjoyed reading it for the nerdy pleasures of machine language and compilers. His latest piece covers an entirely different technology, shortwave. I’ve talked repeatedly about the ‘sporting’ nature of shortwave, and the vacancy of the spectrum since SW broadcasters mostly surrendered…

  • What desistance means

    Desistance means depriving the system of your talents and resources. It does NOT mean getting into the system to obstruct things. Internal obstruction is a game that accomplishes less than nothing. I figured this out a LONG time ago when some of my semi-hippie friends joined the military to “reform the system from inside”. I…

  • No eagers

    O’Keefe pulls off an undercover “Tinder date” with a dude who heads Cybersecurity for two major government departments. Of course the official doesn’t reveal any significant Shannon information. Deepstate never reveals anything that isn’t already common knowledge. In this interview, similar to O’Keefe’s older interviews with media insiders, the insider DOES reveal that he isn’t…

  • The real HAL threat

    The AI monsters constantly tell us that the threat of AI is not THEIR theft of all skill and creativity. Supposedly the threat of AI is that it might take over the nukes. This is easy to debunk because Big Data has been in charge of the nukes for 50 years and hasn’t rebelled yet.…

  • Buckle down and stay lazy!

    I’m noticing a common theme in a lot of writers this week, which looks orchestrated. Let’s buckle down and get back to work! Let’s keep the wheels turning at full speed! Start families, have babies! NO. This is what the Tyrants want. They want everyone cheerfully working together to achieve total destruction. Empires don’t collapse…

    Erik Larson writes from an insider view, noting that the latest style of AI has turned into a total juggernaut with no questioners. Before the recent inflection point of 2014, he saw quite a few doubters inside the establishment. Now, thanks to the Tech Tyrants with their social algorithms, everyone is Moving Together In The…
