Another vague swindle
Since I’m in swindle mode this morning, here’s a new/old swindle. The clip is full of info on the mysterious Family Offices. Most are simply a modernized and secretized version of business managers. Rich devils have always set up corporate structures to manage their money and art collections and yachts and mansions. The newer form…

Not clear yet
Caught a hint of this on substack. Omidyar, who runs The Intercept, is clearly a trickster of some kind. Maybe part of Deepstate, maybe not. He has been infiltrating the government for a while, placing his own people in key roles. Lina Khan of FTC is one of Omidyar’s alumni. Google quickly found verification from…

Trump knows what he’s doing
Headline: Trump says he wants all remaining bitcoin to be mined in USA. Needless to say, the bitcoin suckers, who are also Trump suckers, will love this. Oh boy! That’ll show those horrible Red Chinese Marxist Commies who’s boss! Fact 1: Bitcoin is now a Larry Fink brand. Trump is a politician, therefore everything he…

More along the same line
More thoughts spawned by rereading the Duane Jones book on advertising, and listening to those auto dealer training films at bedtime. Both sources were aimed at salesmen, not customers. The training films were not even available to customers. Because they were “secret”, both were openly crass and cynical, recommending sneaky tricks. BUT: Both agreed crassly…

Another natural parallel
I don’t grasp fashion or fashionable drugs, so I had no idea this was a problem. Ozempic is so common now that snack food companies are losing money. No munchies, no profit. Snack food companies are taking nature’s route when demand drops. Experiment. Try different variations. Expand your audience by appealing to different types of…

Caitch-22
Noted via MindMatters, an article in Wired discusses a growing problem for freelance writers. Publishers are switching to AI for their writing, and at the same time they’re kicking out human writers for “suspicion of using AI.” = = = = = START QUOTE: As a local journalist in Bucyrus, Ohio, Gasuras relies on side…

Today is Loving Day!
About time. Loving needs a tribute. Loving County has been the least populated county in the US for a long time. The last time I looked it had about 200 people. It’s down to 64 in the 2020 census. In most states a depleted county was absorbed into the next county for easier administration, but…

First ads
Someone on substack was defending the need for advertising when done for honest purposes. I commented: Yes! Advertising is part of nature. “Buy my pollen, get a free honey drink!” This seems like something I must have written here already, but oddly I didn’t. Despite all my musings on the Duane Jones book, and my…

Back to Magic Lanterns
Returning to the crucially important theme of science as entertainment. Before science became a tool for war and torture in 1946, science was often mixed with magic and entertainment. The Magic Lantern was the intersection of the two. This time I’m not trying for historical authenticity; I’m mixing periods and making up things that could…

Powerful analogy
Compact Mag details the rise of greenlash in this week’s EU parliament election. Germany has taken the craziest green path in the last 10 years, shutting down its clean nuclear plants and also banning Russian gas, resulting in more coal power. Coal is genuinely dirty, but coal automatically becomes pure as angel hair when Gaia…

ISM means Not
In general but not always, an ISM negates the work of the man whose name precedes the ISM. DarwinISM misinterprets what Charles Darwin really said and worked for. MarxISM directly and precisely negates what Karl Marx actually said. FreudISM corrupts and simplifies Sigmund Freud’s work. The same rule applies, with more exceptions, to foundations and…

Just trying to figure out…
Spent about 30 seconds reading the fiery Twitter responses to Nate Silver’s extremely mild and hesitant heresy. Nate is a longtime loyal Democrat, a solid Hillary supporter. He tries to be data-driven, but all of his data is shaped toward the need for the Party to win. Today he said that the Party would have…

Typo
Typo in headline: This chart shows why people are so down on the economy — even with the stock market at record highs Correcting the typo: This chart shows why people are so down on the economy — because the stock market is at record highs The stock crime is the RECIPROCAL of the economy.…

Not bono
Reading the endless fentanyl overdoses and the hardened public reaction, I stopped to wonder what the monsters are trying to accomplish. Follow the money? Cui bono? It’s hard to see how anyone is getting rich from this nightmare. Unlike the “virus” drugs, these drugs are not coming directly from Big Pharma. They’re supposedly coming from…

Nice visual proof
Elon’s cultists sing the praises of the Ultimate Engineer Who Made A Missile Land Where He Wanted. This is pure nonsense. The Krauts were doing it in 1944, and our guided missiles were doing it routinely in the ’50s. Here’s a nice visual proof in a Vintage.es article. In 1959 the Post Office got involved…
