Manweller wins every fucking time
Manweller’s Rule: “Elections” only count when they agree with the ruler. No “election” can be allowed to do the right thing. If any candidate or proposition attempts to do good, the parties will first remove all support and funding from the good thing. If that fails, the “election” or “proposition” will be summarily rejected. Spokane’s…

Teamites will be teamites
Wolf’s readers often contribute stories from their own experience. This is far more valuable than any sort of generalized observation no matter how well informed. In yesterday’s column on the sudden “unexpected” failure of Elon’s unusable undrivable unsafe illegal Cybrtrk, a marketer tells us why modern businesses choose to appeal ONLY to one religion. This…

Rant on “cybersecurity”
Forcing us to change a password every month is like the old ’50s Loyalty Oaths. The oaths were NOT meant to catch real Russian spies. First, real spies for any country are expert liars. They have no compunction about faking an oath to maintain a cover. Spying is lying. Second, the KGB, like all professional…

Manweller wins every time
Both idiot parties are still obsessed with “honest” “elections”. No such thing. Manweller’s Rule is absolute. Elections only count when they agree with the ruler. Elections that change the course of a country or city or state are NOT ALLOWED to stand. Usually the parties can derail a real reformer before the election by refusing…

Missing part of the point
The new print issue of History Today has a set of articles about the tight connection between America and cults. [The articles aren’t online yet.] They do a good job on recent cults like Scientology and Jonestown, but they miss the essential difference between a cult and a religious movement. The difference is simple. A…

Never too late for the Right Thing
Several public-facing federal agencies have been taking the Canadian path to handle the psychopaths. Like Trudeau and Carney in Canada, they’re resolutely maintaining a good attitude toward the public even while the psychopath chops and whips their agency. In fact this is more than good behavior. It’s damn near saintly behavior, reminiscent of the early…

Following the Users Manual
Trump has blocked Canadians from entering the little cross-border library in Vermont/Quebec. It’s been making news as a symbol of long-term friendship and tolerance, so the Trump admin had to do something about it. When people are unhappy and preparing to rebel, smart governments** try to SATISFY THE NEED instead of smashing down harder. Trump…

Same thing but more specialized
What Trump is doing now is the same sort of thing he did in 2020, but much more narrowly specialized. Both times he ruined normal people and rewarded devils. In his first term, especially in 2020, he shut down everything except the tech tyrants and enriched the tech tyrants. The effect was broad, including Bezos…

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…
