One-way echo
An experience from a truth-teller: Had coffee with an old mentor & friend last week – someone I’d fallen out of touch w prior to Covid. He asked how I am & I told him when I came out against school closures/lockdowns, I was derided, shunned, fired, disinvited, threatened, called names & spit on. He…

Been there, crawled that
Looking through the 1915 Okla geology journal again. This picture of a cave entrance is instantly familiar. Along with some nerd buddies, I went through this cave twice in 1970. Apparently the cave was already well known to spelunkers in 1915, though it was never commercialized. We had to go through an oil lease fence…

Converse is useful
Over the last two years of “virus” holocaust I’ve been tirelessly and tiresomely repeating: THEY KNOW IT’S A HOAX BECAUSE THEY CREATED THE HOAX. The rulers don’t use ballgags and distancing and needles because they know the whole routine is MURDER. Criminals don’t shoot themselves. = = = = = Universal rules can be turned…

Cancelling is hardly new
Among the scattered preserves of OTR is one 1954 Mutual news broadcast by Frank Edwards, at KFWB in Los Angeles. Edwards made a point of NOT insulting the audience. He was clearly trying to tell the truth as he saw it, and understood that normal people are also capable of seeing the truth. In discussing…

Invulnerable India
Today’s little news item continues a LONG-running theme that doesn’t seem to get much attention. India is buying lots of Russian oil despite our self-destructive sanctions. We aren’t sanctioning India for breaking our sanctions. In the “virus” holocaust I’ve been noticing that many of the heroic dissidents within the “medical” community are from India. They…

Interesting set of podcasts
These audio programs from the Beatrice Institute are EXTREMELY Christian, but interesting anyway. The series deals with the conflict between modern shit (social media, AI, tech, etc) and human souls. Unlike most, this series deliberately approaches the conflict from a WIDE variety of perspectives, many of them unexpected and fresh.

Economics as a verb (reprint)
Reprint from 2012. = = = = = In any area you examine, our current idiocy stems from the fallacy of reification. In some cases we think of a word as being reality; in others we think of a number as being reality; in others we think of an arbitrary unit of measure as being…

More verb vs noun
Here’s another relatively unimportant puzzle that can be untangled by thinking of verbs vs nouns. One of Bitcoin’s fake advantages is that it’s allegedly fungible. Every digital token is identical to all other digital tokens, so you can’t tell who owns this particular token. The analogy is coins vs dollar bills. Coins don’t have serial…

Why does red sometimes turn black?
Halfway continuing from yesterday’s rant on facts vs commands. There’s one big unanswered question, directly relevant to Batya’s complaint. Why do the demons SOMETIMES let the truth out after the lie has killed enough people? The current example is the relatively unimportant story about Hunter Biden’s Ukraine connections. The facts were actually found and checked…

Say the black, do the red (reprint)
Batya is missing the point, intentionally or not: No admission that they got it wrong. No analysis of why. No discussion of how they demonized and silenced people who turned out to be right. Just gaslighting and distraction and a new topic for everyone to dance in lockstep to. It’s ok to be wrong. Everyone…

Mouse countries
In human hierarchies and in national hierarchies, you have to KNOW YOUR PLACE. Status is innate and permanent among humans and among countries. When you’re the mouse, you have to avoid pissing off the nearest cat. Eastern Europe traditionally understood its mousy position, stuck between Germany and Russia. Those countries ALSO understood that America and…

NOTHING.NEW under the sun
Still thinking about trite non-info vs new info… American Radio Library has added a section for the Western Union tech journal. Trite: I’ve said this a hundred times. The HTML web is just the latest and NOT the greatest incarnation of data webs. Formalized data webs started with Chappe’s mechanical semaphores, then the electrical telegraph…

Opposite of news
In previous item I made a note about my attempt to favor information and avoid repeating the repeated. This shouldn’t be strange; this is exactly what our nervous system does at all levels. Find and focus on the new and unusual. The old definitions of news were also natural. The word itself is just a…

It’s Pi Day!
Polistra and Happystar celebrate National Pi Day with a formal proof! = = = = = Sidenote: After this I posted a sort of followup to the Phlogiston item with some old info about eclipses that struck me as an interesting ‘debunk’. After more thinking, I realized it wasn’t interesting and didn’t disprove any conventional…

Constants and variables 171
On 3/11/2022 Obersturmbannführer Inslee started another brief reprieve from ballgags. Finishing the current two-year contract, 3/11 to 3/11. It doesn’t matter a whole lot to me, because the buses are still strangling me, and the stores weren’t enforcing the rule. The change does allow a better measurement of public insanity. Previously, Obersturmbannführer Inslee gave us…
