  • Da capo al fine.

    My very first thought about the “virus” hoaxocaust is turning out to be correct, after two years of wobbling and waffling. For a long time I assumed there was an actual virus but not an epidemic. Then I applied Ockham and settled into the total hoax hypothesis, but ignored the discussions about China because they…

  • Focusing on one question…

    One of the Thiel questions in previous item is: 8. Normal people want security. Criminals want freedom. The standard line, of course, misquotes Ben Franklin. Ben didn’t say it; an author published by Ben’s printery said it. The question deserves renewed attention in the “virus” era. The “alternative” spokesmen, some of whom may be Agents…

  • Placing a small bet

    The flurry of “news” about Elon’s “battle” with Twitter reminded me of my Follies theme. Sometimes a rich man’s toy advances science. Elon superficially resembles Ned Green, who inherited his evil mother’s criminally acquired fortune and tried to turn it toward enjoyment of science. The spaceflight competition among Elon and Bezos and Branson also has…

  • Updating the Thiel questions

    Updating the list of Thiel questions again. Sorting into categories and adding two new ‘exclusives’. The strict question as originally stated: How would you respond if PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel asked you his favorite interview question: “Tell me something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on.” My sloppy variation is more like true…

  • Unique in one way

    Random thought. The UFO phenomenon was a unique conflict of government vs humans. Normally the government makes up a fake “threat”, calling it an “attack” or “witchcraft” or “commie subversives” or “Islamic terrorists” or a “virus”. Ordinary people are NOT observing the nonexistent “threat”. The government has to persuade us that the “threat” is real…

  • Revising a conventional guess

    In previous item about a strangely primitive tube-based spy rig, I casually dismissed transistors as not ready for prime time. That was true in the early ’50s, but Russian equipment famously stuck with tubes long after transistors were generally reliable and consistent. Sputnik used submini tubes while our satellites used transistors. Sputnik got there first,…

  • 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…

    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…

    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…
