Solving a puzzle
Sailer asks why Deepstate is endorsing and undermining Elon at the same time. I’ve always been puzzled by this paradox, starting with Nixon. He served Deepstate much more effectively than other presidents, but he got punished and removed. Trump is identical to Nixon. He gave Wall Street everything it wanted, and gave the CDC demons…

More interesting fact
I was curious to see if the shutoff of QE has changed the media side of politics yet. Parties might be getting less money from ‘dark’ corporate sources? If there’s any difference, it’s too early to see in publicly available stats. QE halted in early 2022, and the effects are still rippling through various layers.…

What we lost part 99999999
Demons and Cadillacs don’t have a reverse gear. Demons only back up under external force, jumpy and tectonic in nature, like shoving a Cadillac backwards with a bulldozer. It’s worth noticing when demons are forced to skid backwards. A couple days ago Canada’s parliament gave a standing ovation to a 98-year-old ACTUAL LITERAL NAZI, a…

Two matching words tell the story
BreakingPoints reviews a Pew poll on the state of American disgust. Pew’s own page has one graph that tells the whole fucking story. 65% of Americans are EXHAUSTED by the whole pile of ratshit. 4% of Americans are EXCITED by the pile. The 4% are instantly identifiable. Psychopaths are about 5% of the population. Psychopaths…

Four things I couldn’t have guessed
Just for my own purposes, collecting four important things that I learned from others in recent years. Most of my learning comes from painful experience. I couldn’t have figured out these four facts on my own, and I’m grateful to the people who revealed them. 1. Manweller’s Rule. Elections only count when they don’t count.…

What we lost, part 54386738957857834579
Yet another example of what we lost when the NYC tax evaders broke out of the FUNCTIONING British system in 1776. = = = = = START QUOTE: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough admitted last week that he and his wife, co-host Mika Brzezinski, often talk with democrats and other politicos — and “every discussion” about Biden…

Regents
The Santayana quote is meaningless, and he probably meant it as parody. Modern demons do learn from history, but not the way we naively imagine. They use history to improve the efficiency of their evil deeds. History is quality control, not a horrible example to be avoided at all costs. Does knowing history make any…

Yes, but who?
Interesting to watch Deepstate’s sudden rejection of Biden. Before this week he was the youngest and healthiest man in the world. Now he’s too old, and Kamala is also unwanted. Lots of people are noticing the flip, but I don’t see anyone speculating on the replacement. Rulers are never removed in order to allow a…

Mach rock
In Machiavelli World, everything is divided. No thought is allowed to flow down the main riverbed. When a politician wants to chill “divisiveness”, he always wants to censor the other team and universalize his own team. The Fairness Doctrine censored the rock. It prohibited broadcasters from splitting everything into R and D.

I guess that explains it.
Frustrating. The DeSantis campaign finally sent a second email, still utterly generic. “My opponent’s failed liberal policies” is cut-and-paste political jargon. ChatGPT could do better. DeSantis STILL hasn’t mentioned his GIGANTIC REAL COURAGEOUS ACHIEVEMENT. Even the fucking Pence campaign has come out (cautiously) against lockdowns and ballgags, for Christ’s sweet sake. A hostile Floridian on…

Reprint on Pluponents
Linked in previous item, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2017 REPRINT: I tried briefly to follow this article on MMT. Gave up quickly. It’s EXTREMELY abstract and academic, full of name-droppings only familiar to members of the same subsubsubsubdiscipline, written by a creature whose academic title is longer than most articles.…

Simple equation
This trader specializes in trading and advising about ESG. He understands it. There’s no need to mention theoretical crap about ‘marxism’ or ‘hypocrisy’. ESG = Larry Fink When a company follows ESG guidelines they’re not woke or commie or noble. They’re lapdancing Larry Fink, hoping to get some of his money. (This also includes two…

What’s the diff?

Deepstate = Cheapstate
An Ockham thought after reading some theorists who attribute various emergencies to complicated PHYSICAL stuff like HAARP or “directed energy weapons” or “viruses” or “biochipped nanovax” or “escaped biolab projects”, etc etc etc. Deepstate is Cheapstate. Rich fuckheads never spend money unnecessarily. When you own the media and all the channels for the media, you…
