Manweller is gravity
Manweller’s Rule: “Elections” are not allowed to change things. A candidate who threatens to change things will be eliminated, usually well before the “election.” A referendum that threatens to change things will be eliminated after the people have vainly “voted” for it. Today’s example: Two years ago a referendum to protect natural gas from the…

Exception to Manweller
Continuing with Pew and polls. Most Americans, both D and R, dislike data centers, and mobilize strongly to protest data centers in their city or neighborhood. The people agree on this question. Here’s a puzzle. The “two” “parties” actually DIFFER on this question, not just in talking points. Repooflicans force people to accept data centers,…

Pew proves Manweller
Fun fact from Pew. 15 of the current 100 senators were straightforwardly appointed, not fakely “elected.” Some because the previous occupant was convincingly dead, others because the previous occupant was hired by the executive branch. The former type are often spouses or relatives of the convincingly dead predecessor. Since 1990, 24 senators were appointed, and…

Candidate worth supporting
Manweller’s rule says elections aren’t allowed to change things, so I’m sure this one won’t work. Nevertheless, Natalie Poulson is a viable candidate for state legislature after this week’s top-two primary. She was a teacher until 2021 when she refused to wear the Trump-Inslee strangulation device and refused to force her students to strangle. She…

More universal than gravity
Via Spokane newspaper: The Wash “state” “legislature” wants to impose an income tax on millionaires. Alien hyperdemon “Ferguson”, described as a “governor”, kicks out the proposal. The “legislators” pretend to be surprised, since the “governor” wears the same D label as the “legislators”. Three universal rules are pulling in the same direction. Manweller: It’s an…

Bad marketing, halfway good idea
Via the local newspaper: Some state legislators want to add “creating a signature” to civics classes. The marketing focuses on John Hancock, but the proposal is somewhat more meaningful than the usual civics crap. It turns out that poor signatures are a real problem for voting officials. Mail ballots require a signature which is checked…

Back to unsurprising again
In July I noted a slight bit of apparent action by the insane “city”. Some REAL people, ie people named Cowles, finally got tired enough to make the “city” take a tiny bit of apparent action. I wrote: = = = = = START REPRINT: I’ve been thoroughly bashing the “city” of Spokane for ENCOURAGING…

Worth supporting
I know that local “elections” are mythical. I still make marks on ballots to register a survey response, though I know decent people will never be allowed to take office. Manweller’s Rule. One candidate for council in this part of town got my “vote” and a donation. Chris Savage is working class. Currently a truck…

Slight bit of action
Fairness Doctrine time. I’ve been thoroughly bashing the “city” of Spokane for ENCOURAGING crime instead of STOPPING crime. The people passed a referendum with a 73% majority two years ago, attempting to force action. The state’s alleged so-called “court” pulled the usual Manweller trick, invalidating the FIRMLY expressed will of the people. Until now the…

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…

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…

One wonderful thing
Yesterday’s election had the usual results here in the “state” of Washington. Crazy monsters and crazy referenda won. With one beautiful exception! Referendum 2066 to protect natural gas from the crazies PASSED. Somewhat narrowly, but still enough to settle the issue. From the official description: The measure prohibits state and local governments from restricting access…

Democracy exists, but only…
I often say that “democracy” is a meaningless word. It doesn’t exist and can’t exist. Trying for more precision… If the word means that decisions are formed by negative feedback, sensing the will of many people, then democracy does happen in some situations, but not governments. Competitive businesses MUST satisfy a large enough number of…

The house wins
Macron is Wall Street, so I figured he had a criminal trick up his sleeve. Wall Street is crime. Wall Street is mass murder. Sure enough he did. Most of the “left” and “center” candidates were fake, paid by Wall Street to pose as politicians. Now they’re pulling out of the runoff, leaving France (LePen)…

More things I learned from others
Recently I gathered up five learnings acquired from others. It’s time to add one more, which isn’t especially recent but was missed in the previous listing. = = = = = START REHASH: Most of my learning comes from painful experience. I couldn’t have figured out these facts on my own, and I’m grateful to…
