What’s he really doing?
Burge is discussing the relative political knowledge of different religions. Unsurprisingly the richer groups had the most knowledge. I commented: Rich people NEED to know who controls Congress because rich people can influence politicians. Non-rich don’t need to know because we recognize that we have no influence. Voting is a Machiavellian gimmick. I need to…

Bad batch
Spokane News facebook page reported 14 drug overdoses in the last 12 hours. Must be an especially bad batch or perhaps EBT card time at end of month. [Later, we reached 20 in 24 hours. New record, I think! Congrats, city and state and federal dysgovernments!!!!] Interestingly, one commenter added this: If you watch closer,…

Two ways
Two different ways of “fighting Trump”. Canada is fighting Trump by working together. The urban areas are working WITH the agricultural and oil areas, to improve Canada’s own agriculture and industry and petroleum. US is “fighting Trump” by tearing itself apart. The coastal urban areas are continuing to destroy and ruin the agricultural and oil…

Utter lunacy
Our “city” “government” has been unspeakably corrupt and incompetent for at least 30 years. It steadfastly refuses to take care of real problems, instead pouring money and effort into bizarre insane symbolic hypershit that nobody needs or wants except the alleged “council” and so-called alleged “mayor”. Latest example, quoted in full: = = = =…

Is this what he’s doing?
Trump was trained by Roy Cohn in Agent Provocateur tricks. Cohn used the tactic on Joe McCarthy and later on the Birchers. He took charge of Joe in the 50s and JBS in the 70s, turning each into a grotesque extreme parody of a rational belief system. The Agent Provocateur trick was first perfected by…

Fast end to fakery
After only 9 days in office, Trump’s old trick is already obvious. = = = = = Reprint from 2019: Faker Trump has pulled his favorite fake trick again. He wrote a fake “executive order” designed to provide political ammunition for the enemies of populism without actually changing anything. His previous fake “order” encouraging religious…

Return of an old rule
Noticing a repeat of a very old rule. Back in the 60s I was listening to shortwave from various countries. It was clear that Britain and Russia and Portugal had a more objective view of Vietnam than any of our politicians or media. Now I’m getting the same clarity from Canada. Looking at CTV and…

Wait for the dust
Trump has written some nice-sounding executive orders, pulling us out of the Paris Climate Hoax and the World Hitler Organization. He revoked the destructive “green” “new” “deal”, which is good, but he ALSO stopped the Biden admin’s quiet unadvertised restoration of some REAL New Deal policies by replacing Lina Khan. The latter action is real.**…

No need to read Machiavelli.
Here’s the end goal of Mach’ian rulers, all wrapped up in one nice little sentence. Do not buy the $TRUMP coin/con. If it isn’t Bitcoin, it is a scam. Brand A scam says “avoid the Brand B scammers, stick with honest Brand A”. Brand B scam says “avoid the Brand A scammers, stick with honest…

Stop, goddamnit.
A long time ago I got tired of people saying We must hold ____ accountable! If you were honest you’d admit that we have NO WAY of holding accountable. No matter how many activists we organize, NOBODY will ever be held accountable. You’re not the Accounts Receivable department. Elon is Accounts Receivable. Larry Fink is…

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…

More stupid witch hunting
Media and Deepstate love to persuade smart people to “investigate” completely trivial topics that will blame some mysterious invisible phenomenon for the crimes of media and Deepstate. The method started with Sprenger and Kremer, the chief witch hunters in 1400. Machiavelli wrote up a more refined version. The recent “crisis” of toy drones treated as…

Lazy is best.
Following on this item and this item on the importance of MECHANICAL government. = = = = = Good businesses and good rulers are LAZY as well as mechanical. The two go together. When you make a process mechanical it’s affordable and easy to use. When everything is custom-made and ’boutique’, everything is expensive and…

Edsels, Trudeaus, Toilets
Reading an old account of how the Edsel was developed. Designers had something better in mind, but corporate management, newly switched from family ownership to Share Value, had to exert raw power regardless of the consequences in profit. Managers stormed into the design studios and ripped up the drawings and clay models that didn’t suit…

Where the elite meet…
I got tired of Brownstone a long time ago. They publish some hardass articles but their main goal is providing high-level Salons and Retreats for elite types. By participating in these Retreats, the elites can feel like they’re rebelling without actually rebelling. Just like Goths and Antifa and Bitcoin and Tea Party and Occupy and…
