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…

Shannon about Buffett
Most published comments about Buffett or by Buffett are tautologous and non-Shannon. No information. OF COURSE you do better when you find the right stuff and stick with it. If you don’t understand this point you’re too dumb to breathe. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it is the hallmark of CIVILIZATION. Innovative Disruption is…

Why India wins
I’ve been hammering these points: We’re fucked because we’ve been lying about caste for 200 years. We substitute all sorts of other shit like IQ and hard work and ideology. Those variables aren’t entirely irrelevant but the base constant of human activity is CASTE. Caste is innate and permanent. The distribution of castes occasionally shifts…

Close but no pierogi.
Via UncommonDescent, a new hypothesis about human intelligence is generally wiser and more ‘non-partisan’ than the usual Darwin crap. The article acknowledges that brain size is not the major variable, but still clings to the energy-consumption model. The discovery of fire made us smarter because cooked food is easier to digest. First, easier digestion DOES…

Galling
If “justice” had even the slightest microremnant of meaning, the “virus” torturers, including all of their MD concentration camp guards, would be executed in a massive mega-Nuremberg. These demons are precisely identical to the Kraut Nazis of earlier decades. Not analogous, identical. At first I dreamed of a new Nuremberg, but soon realized it’s physically…

Naive or clever?
Listening to discussion of last year’s NYTimes brouhaha over publishing an op-ed by HORRIBLE REPOOFLICAN Tom Cotton. First thought: I wonder what Oliver Holmes would think? He wrote the “legal” test for boundaries on freedom of the press. Inciting a riot is outside the bounds. This little dispute was about the Holmes test. The Repooflican…
