HGT puzzle solved
My pet theory is that humans are a hybrid of bird and mammal. Which type of bird transferred the genes for politicians? The cassowary is commonly acknowledged as the world’s most dangerous bird, particularly to humans byu/solateor ininterestingasfuck Result:

Two definitions
The story of Silvergate Bank is a tale of two definitions. Silvergate started out as one of the very few modern banks… maybe the ONLY modern bank… that followed the CORRECT definition of a savings bank. They failed because they tried to follow the CORRECT definition of a bond in a world where everyone else…

Close but no FET
Pointed via UncommonDescent, this article by Tomasz Durakiewicz is on the side of the angels but misidentifies some earlier demons as angels. In a 1675 letter to Robert Hooke, Isaac Newton wrote the famous phrase “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Newton paraphrased earlier uses of that…

More stony continents
Falling back yet again to the one surviving Frank Edwards newscast, from 1954, for an example of Ockham in action. Edwards features a recorded message from Congresscritter Wayne Aspinall of Colorado. = = = = = What should be alarming the nation today is the sharp drop in farm income. We only have to look…

Make something of it, never give up
I’ve been reading Curt McConnell’s ‘Great Cars of the Great Plains’, mainly to gather more about the Great Smith in Topeka. One of those car companies found its niche and is STILL IN BUSINESS TODAY! Luverne began in the usual way as a small carriage maker in a small town, tried making a car in…

More flip time
Random and dubious branch from the more definite Flip Time… For the first time in 30 years we have a real opposition party. The real opposition party is some parts of the Federal bureaucracy. Above all the central bank has flipped. QE and ZIRP enabled ALL of the monstrous shit done by governments and corporations…

More fake “reveals”
Another stupid partial “reveal”. The mysterious Havana symptoms that we instantly attributed to RUSSIAN_HACKING are not RUSSIAN_HACKING. Now we supposedly don’t know what they are. I’m too often fooled by fake “attacks”. 9/11 fooled me for many years! This one didn’t fool me for a second. I know plenty about the subject from all sides:…

Flip time!
Greta is protesting AGAINST windmills. The allegedly right-wing antivaxers are now the Gaians, following RFK Jr and worrying about toxic plastics and cheering Erin Brockovich. Comrade O’Brien would approve. All the psychopaths in history would approve. Keep the suckers off balance, flip the world upside down and inside out every 7 seconds. No baseline, no…

Timeline
I’ve written most of these points before, but never tried to pull them together into a single timeline. How long has China been engineering our destruction? 1946: We wasted money on Chiang which helped Mao win. 1950s: We wasted money and lives in Korea which helped Kim win. 1960s: We wasted money and lives in…

“Elections” starting to matter?
Is the political class finally realizing that their free ride is ending? Is Manweller’s Rule starting to break down? Or do we just have a more sophisticated level of fakery? In Chicago the zombie entity called Lori Lightfoot lost massively against two “hard on crime” opponents. Media are calling the zombie “soft on crime”, but…

Tiresome false comparison
Continuing along the Hersh line… One of Kirn’s commenters gave this tiresome trite false comparison, which totally hides the REAL comparison. In the Age of Trump, who has been relying on the Establishment Press for anything but hostility? Use Carl Bernstein as an example. So right during Watergate and so wrong since 2016. Woodward and…

Pierce cars
I’ve done two features on Pierce trucks, first on the rule of sticking with your niche, and second on the trend toward compressed air starters. Pierce cars were stylistically unique. In the ’20s when all cars were basically the same shape, Pierce had the only headlights blended into fenders. You could spot a Pierce instantly.…

Hersh also blooming again
Seymour Hersh is also blooming again. While looking back through the blog for something about the Sunflower Ammunition Plant, this old mention of Hersh serendipited via the search term ‘ammunition’. His advice in 2013 is even more important now. = = = = = START REPRINT: Old story about William Allen White: Supposedly he was…

Sunflower blooms again!
The former Sunflower Ammunition Plant in DeSoto is being recast into a giant EV battery plant by Panasonic. I caught a hint of this via Reddit, and noticed that the location looked like Sunflower. Most of the articles miss the Sunflower connection. This article at Bizjournals confirms it. Sunflower was a mysterious ghost town for…

OCKHAM!
We’re having the usual fake “dispute” with the usual fake “official” “revelations” about the fake “question” of the fake “origin” of the fake “virus”. I can tell you exactly where and when the “virus” originated. The Chinese variant started August 17, 1926, in Yangzhou. The US variant started June 14, 1946, in NYC. The British…
