Why so slow?
The post office podcast features a big catch by the postal inspectors. Last year they finally convicted Patrice Runner and his associates for one of the biggest frauds in history. He operated for 20 years, 1994 to 2014, and took in $175 million from 1 million victims. The swindle was low price and high volume.…

More harm by court than Wright
Since I’ve been steadily writing about Craig Wright, I feel obligated to continue until it’s settled. Basic task-completion drive. Last week Protos reported on his latest grandiose fraud, remaking agriculture now that he’s remade money and banking. This week Protos notes that he’s blithely disobeying the British court order. He hasn’t paid the plaintiffs anything…

Possible explanation?
Seems like a lot of old and new falsehoods are being pulled down lately. Right now the silly little myth of Biden’s eternal youth and omnipotence is being knocked down, most likely for nefarious reasons. The lies about the 2020 “virus” are starting to fall away, more gradually and reluctantly, which indicates less nefarious reasons.…

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…

Pits and spoons
Briggs is trying to bring real human experience back into science. In this piece he analyzes claims of telekinesis and speculates on quantum action. He doesn’t reach any conclusions. I think he may be starting from an unproductive angle. Our thinking on these subjects is narrowed down by our intuitive sense that force is a…

Defeated the purpose
Pneumatic control systems have long been used in places like mines and grain elevators where a spark could cause an explosion. Around 1930 there was a burst of patents for pneumatic computers and typewriters, which didn’t seem to be aimed toward safety because most had electric motors and some were ‘adapters’ for electric typewriters. Most…

Good question, no good answers
Reddit asks a really good question! Why aren’t there any Native American restaurants? You’d expect such restaurants in Oklahoma where the Cherokee have been good at farming and business for a long time. Never saw one. There are plenty of typical native foods, but nobody has tried to feature them in a restaurant. Before looking…

Asking the same question
In this segment, around 22 minutes, Tucker and Glenn are discussing a question that I’ve been asking for a long time. Why do we hate Russia? They don’t find an answer at all, and I’ve never found a convincing answer. It’s not about “communism”. We hated Russia before it turned “communist”, and we hate it…

Why Branson is failing
WSJ asks why Branson’s spaceflight venture is failing. They miss the main points. 1. Because it was just another way to burn up QE for a tax dodge. Now that QE is gone, no reason for the burning devices. 2. Because there’s no mass market for it. Only Branson’s transhumanist buddies in the Epstein gang…

Checking the source 3
Several months ago I read most of the bitcoin C++ code. I wasn’t trying to suss out the plot, just reading for dialect and stage directions. Those are thoroughly familiar, so the author must have picked up programming the same way I did, by absorption and experience, not by Computer Science training. Now, motivated by…

Returning to Elon and Twitter
I’ve tried and discarded a dozen hypotheses about Elon and Twitter. Here’s a new hypothesis. Deepstate, like pro wrestling, always creates a cartoon villain. The Official Good Guy and Official Bad Guy always do exactly the same evil deeds, but the evil deeds are Good when done by the Good Guy and Bad when done…

Why anti-nuke?
Half-baked thought, sounds good at the moment… The anti-nuke movement started in 1946, as an INTEGRAL part of the UN. The UN was initially a continuation of the wartime alliance, US + UK + France + USSR, keeping Japan and Germany weak and unable to start more wars. The allies had plenty of energy. US…
