Shannon info!
ZeroHedge mentions that BlackVault had tried to get an FBI file on Bezos’s grandfather, but the file was supposedly deleted. That’s not important. Here’s the important fact. I didn’t know it until now. Jeff’s grandpa was Gise, the founder of DARPA and the grandpa of the HTML internet. The conventional story says that Jeff was…

Four, not three
The classic division of Aristocrats and Courtiers and Peasants was recognized commercially by car dealers as Conservative Prospects, Step-up Prospects and Luxury Prospects. Other marketers recognized the same three with different names. The bottom of each chain is minimalist and satisfied. The top of each chain is maximalist and satisfied. Top and bottom have a…

The fleet rule
Listening every night to those auto dealer training films. They assumed forced obsolescence as a basic fact of the universe, and relied on the manufacturers to keep it moving. The Conservative Prospect was troublesome because he liked simplicity, liked to do his own maintenance, and disliked constant change. New thought: This is a pretty good…

Tensile test
Animating old GenRad testing machines got me thinking in terms of Metrology again. Social media algorithms are testing machines for the pigeons in the Skinner box. You have a lever marked “block”, which allegedly gets rid of stuff you don’t want. You keep pressing, assuming that the AI algorithm will adapt to your desires. If…

1974.2
The current fake flap around Uri Berliner’s fake ‘cancel’ reminded me of something that happened before. The details are different this time but the basic pattern is the same. 1974 was a major Deepstate coup. Nixon was assigned as official scapegoat or sacrificial anode. He accomplished all the horrible tasks Deepstate needed, while cloaking the…

Clarifier
The three-way division of sales targets into Conservative Prospects, Step-up Prospects and Luxury Prospects seems to have been common currency among all the dealers. For my purposes the division serves as an illuminator. It’s not a unique division by any means; the ancient and Orwellian caste divisions are exactly parallel. Auto Ancient Orwell Conservative Prospect…

Just figured this out
I’m sure this explanation is available on Google, but I figured it out for myself and I’m proud. Often I’ll see frost on roofs and other surfaces when the outside ambient is about 38. The previous day was up in the 40s or 50s, and there was no actual freezing in recent days. Why do…

Converse
I’ve made the same observation about long-distance communication and languages, but for some reason didn’t fully assemble the two observations. Time to assemble. = = = = = Long-distance communication systems are always built by conquering armies and stock swindlers. The Chappe system was the archetype. It was built by the globalist “science”-godded tyrants of…

Should have written here
Another thought that I should have written here first. On Substack somebody posted a description of the Piven-Cloward strategy for overwhelming a government with demands, lawsuits, and immigrants. I’ve seen this many times, but for some reason the style of this description evoked a new thought. New thought 1: This is simply what happens to…

Canceling = Missionary work
I always understood one end of canceling thanks to my father’s advice. He explained in the ’60s that college faculty who were fired for “communism” were actually fired for ordinary personal reasons. Unproductive faculty could be fired honestly. When the department head simply disliked the employee, he couldn’t write “I don’t like him” on an…

Second vector
Via Protos, Sammy’s old mentor is being tried for fraud. This part of the story hasn’t been mentioned in the media before. = = = = = START PROTOS: Joe Lewis, the billionaire former Premier League football club owner who sold Sam Bankman-Fried more than $76 million worth of property in the Bahamas, is set…

Correlation?
A writer at The Hill, a solid D outlet, is discussing the belated realization that Biden can’t win, and the practical difficulties of having a REAL convention. He mentions two facts I hadn’t heard before: = = = = = START HILL: Brokered conventions have occurred before, however. Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt won…

Pay for value works
TIL week. This one is a genuine surprise. In 1916 we BOUGHT the Virgin Islands from DENMARK. We’ve never had any trouble from the Virgin Islands. Pay for value usually works. Stealing territory by armed conquest or Color Revolution never works. I hadn’t thought much about those islands, but if asked I would have guessed…

Familiar territory
This Bloomberg podcast is running in deeply familiar territory, discussing the economics of oil storage and movement. Mentions one surprising fact: North American oil production hit an all-time record last year. Worldwide coal production also hit an all-time high last year, but very little of it was in USA. Conclusion: The enviros aren’t really trying…

No point?
I used to think that gathering and publishing facts was useful. 2020 crashed the myth. Most normal humans knew the truth, many of us were desperately trying to publish the truth, and NOTHING CHANGED. The latest item from Brownstone reminded me of the futility. We cannot just delete the page from the history books, as…
