Wrong question
Headline: Lawfare Exposed: How Democrats Weaponized Justice Against Trump HOW is not a mystery. Politicians have been playing the lawfare game forever. Opposition research coupled with nuisance lawsuits are a great way to distract the opponent and force him to make stupid moves. Both sides know HOW to play the game. In this specific case…

No good explanation yet
The Due Dissidence Dudes take a close look at the sudden shift in corporate favor. In 2016 all corporations instantly hated Trump. When Trump encouraged a protest in January 2021, all corporations treated one protest as a universe-ending event, and sternly rejected everything remotely associated with the “right”. Now all corporations are flocking to suck…

Think Olbermann is new?
Surveys in the ’50s showed Hudson customers were the most loyal of any brand. Hudson’s execs were also loyal and long-serving. Barit started just after the founding and became CEO in 1936, then stayed until the end in 1954. Styling head Frank Spring also stuck around. Here’s a rare picture of him having a bit…

Different policy, same politicians
Some people are posting videos of arsonists starting fires in LA during the current mess. Not surprising. A couple years ago we had several big fires close to Spokane. Most were started by homeless cooking fires, but two were definitely arson. The arsonists were spotted by many people walking along the road tossing matches into…

Greenwald shows how it’s done
While everyone else in “journalism” marches insanely to the same tyrannical beat since 1945, rigorously defending the Democrat team and killing all peasants, Greenwald shows how the Fairness Doctrine works. On the latest little “issue” with Zuck and Elon switching to Trump’s side, everyone else, and I mean EVERYONE, diligently pursues the Shared Lie. Zuck…

Natural Law syntax
Lately I’m developing courseware on brain networks involved in language. At night my bedtime playlist includes old films about banking. The banking films have clarified several things about money that were unclear before**. For example, checks are not money. Checks don’t transfer value, checks transfer credit or trust. The combination of subjects formed a metaphor.…

Aside from that
Protos features the California wildfires from the standard Gaian perspective. Fueled by high winds and months of drought, Reality: Southern California has centuries of drought broken by occasional rainy seasons. It’s a desert. Every coastal area has high winds sometimes. Protos also covers the tragedy as seen by the “crypto community”. = = = =…

Gotta be branded
Pew takes a highly detailed look at the religions in Congress, comparing them with the general population. The big conclusion: Congress has more Christians than the country. The details reveal a more subtle distinction. Congress belongs to named religions far more than Americans. In percents, Congress vs America: Overall Protestant 55 to 40. Baptist 14…

All are error signals
Cults, ideologies, swindles and get-rich schemes are all the same. All are ERROR SIGNALS, warning lights, sharp pains. All are human culture’s way of telling the ruler that LIFE IS SHIT. If a ruler wants to rule comfortably, with popular consent and very little trouble from radical movements, he needs to insure that ORDINARY PEOPLE…

Good regardless of motive
Facebook has decided to stop using DNC censors, falsely called “fact-checkers”. The check in this phrase is the original etymological meaning as in checkmate. Check means stop the opponent’s move. Zuck is doing it to pacify Trump, but I don’t give a fuck. It’s a good thing. That’s all. The Fairness Doctrine would be better,…

Same reason as Quora
I enjoy reading Wolf Richter’s blog for the same reason I enjoy Quora: stories of real-life experience. Wolf’s articles have great graphs, but Wolf’s blind spots interfere with the enjoyment. Some of Wolf’s commenters tell experience-based stories about the subject at hand. Today’s article deals with the collapse of Starfuckitis or whatever it’s called, the…

USB jokes
Just for fun, looked at USB jokes. Most were variations on the coffin, which was definitely funny the first and second times but not the third. This one struck a perfect note: A fitted sheet was the original USB plug. You put it on and it’s wrong. You turn it once and it’s still wrong.…

Parliament works.
Trudeau resigns. Remind me again why we abandoned an effective and ADAPTIVE system in 1776? Oh, yes, now I remember. We switched to a frozen rigid dead government because we were founded by monsters who didn’t want to give anyone the power to remove them.

Same thing two ways
This morning I noticed two ways of saying the same thing, showing opposite ways of looking at the world and looking at business. First, Conde’s book on Hudson tells the story of the company’s founding in great detail. I summarized it before. The group who founded Hudson started out working at Olds, then split in…

More Hudson trivia
Bought a Hudson picture book by John Conde, who was the Nash/AMC official historian as well as a PR agent. I first read a Conde book in 1960. When my parents bought a new Rambler, the dealer gave them Conde’s AMC Family Album, and I treasured it and read it for years. It helped to…
