  • Fucking idiots

    New Satanist has been pushing the Carbon genocide for decades. They got on board the “virus” holocaust with equal demonic frenzy, but “virus” isn’t really their main thrill-kill. They’ve been itching to get back to carbon torture. Now they’re back, with the same brainless idiotic satanic frenzy. The world’s biggest facility for removing carbon dioxide…

  • Reprint on scam-spotting

    Previous item led to this from last year. = = = = = Another where’s the guild question. In this case I’m not really puzzled by the absence of a guild response because I know exactly how and when the guild was subverted and flipped. It happened 20 years ago. The current “virus” holocaust is…

  • Huge exception to an old rule

    This is a completely trivial criticism of an old obscure TV show, but it seems to be what I need to write today. Maybe there’s a reason, maybe not. The show was ‘Man of the World’, one of many British James Bond imitators. Other shows in this genre gave us remarkably accurate dramatizations of facts…

  • Always a thrill

    Coral and Jim Lorenzen developed a network of independent UFO observers across USA and South America. Their organization knew what was happening, and thus knew when the media was choosing not to report what was happening. Immediately after Sputnik a large number of media reports came to the surface, and the media went supernova after…

    Today is Chicken Little Awareness Day. Are we aware of the story? Are we attempting to learn from the story? From the WhatNationalDayIsIt page: First detected on the 9th of April 2016 The most recent detection of references to Chicken Little Awareness Day was 2 years ago. 38 total tweets. Nuff said.

  • This is what he meant

    Last month I was puzzled by an unconventional version of a familiar spy tech story. In a 1949 Passing Parade episode, John Nesbitt said: Again in the late 30s, just before the world blew up again, our country was infested with enemy spies. And yet somehow we had invented a code machine for sending our…

  • Metasantayana

    The old Santayana quote is stupidly delusional, and apparently Santayana meant it as wildly ironic. He wasn’t delusional. The demons who repeat history are NOT unaware, and they are NOT clueless, and they are NOT repeating errors. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing and where they’re going. From their viewpoint they are magnificently successful. The…

  • Until now I thought…

    The stupidity of sanctions and blockades is blazingly obvious. We’ve been doing it since 1959, and it has strengthened our enemies every single time. Until now I thought our 1959 blockade of Cuba was at least understandable, since we hadn’t done the experiment yet and didn’t know the inevitable result. Nope, it wasn’t understandable. We…

  • Pithy point, pithy counterpoint

    Kirn’s latest pithy point: If history is any guide, the books that the ideological arsonists disappear first are likely to be the very books needed to spark a renaissance later. Most of the commenters are thinking of fairly modern dystopias, but that’s clearly not where Kirn is going. 1984 wouldn’t spark a renaissance. Purpose-based thinkers…

  • First American radar

    Rehashing from two weeks ago: This early radar installation appeared in a 1945 issue of Electronics magazine, which turned out to be the same issue that momentarily revealed part of the atom bomb before clamping down again. The issue includes a significant editorial on the whole subject of clamping and releasing. = = = =…

  • Mechanical Tur[k]ing test

    Eric Holloway is cleverly testing the innards of a commonly used text AI system. It’s advertised as not entirely mechanical, with hints that humans are proofreading it to avoid lawsuits. Holloway’s LONG conversation and persistent interrogation show that humans are deeply involved in the process. Perhaps the humans ARE the process. The humans are voluntarily…

  • Media puzzle

    Trying to sort out a meaningless puzzle. Part of the 1965 ‘banner year’ or Grand Finale for UFOs happened in Okla and Kansas. In August a chain of sightings ran from Chickasha to Wellington to Wichita to KC, including some radar readings at TV stations in Wichita and KC. If the group was seen in…

  • So what’s my guess?

    Branching from previous item on command/fact pairs…. For a brief period last year, Deepstate was preferring the believer side of the UFO question. (Deepstate always runs organizations on both sides, but this was a switch of preference.) NASA presented some sightings in an attempt to gin up yet another fake “threat” requiring “protection”. It fell…

  • Reprint on the uses of expertise

    I’ve reprinted this list many times in various contexts with various additions. Feels like a good time to reprint it again, connecting it to my recent language-based comparison of facts vs commands, and this week’s UFO obsession. This version of the list is from 2017, with a good discussion of factual experts vs commanding experts.…

  • Probably not an April Fool

    Apparently this isn’t an April Fool. It should be. “Scientists” are trying yet again to communicate with Autistic Messiah Aliens, using really stupid NFT-style images. The new spacebound note, named the Beacon in the Galaxy (BITG), is the latest in a series of attempts to contact other lifeforms in the universe that date back to…
