Crucial article.
This piece by Nathan Pinkoski in Compact may be the most important article of the year. More than justifies the price of the subscription! He explains what REALLY happened in 1968. The conventional account is intentionally wrong about LBJ, Nixon and Wallace. I was deeply involved in this shit as a hippie idiot, and Pinkoski’s…

Dodge got there first!
This is amazing. Our standard myth, which I believed until right now, told us that VW and other rear-engine cars had rollover-prone single joint swing axles until the ’60s when VW “invented” the parallel two joint swing axle. Nope. DODGE ROUTE VANS had independent rear suspension with parallel two-joint swing axles, and a differential mounted…

New understanding
When TARP happened in 2009 I was naively shocked by the utter corruption of both “parties”. I soon started learning more about finance and corruption, but I still haven’t figured out some of the reasons behind the crime. This clip of a current hearing in the senate gave me a rare moment of clarity. The…

New translation
JFK’s famous Arsk Not slogan is always portrayed by media and schools as a noble declaration. In fact it was a declaration of independence for monstrous rulers, and specifically a repudiation of FDR. FDR ruled by serving. He created a reciprocal moral obligation by HELPING THE PEOPLE first. He starkly constrained the bankers and monopolists,…

Clarifier
Randomly noticed a question/answer on Quora that clarifies a lot of things. The writer was not intending to clarify, but nevertheless his semantic point removes a lot of blinders. The point as stated: Zionism is just Jewish nationalism. We don’t give special names to other nationalisms because we don’t argue about them. The fact in…

Huge explanation
Tiffany’s recount of Nishad Singh’s testimony includes one huge explanatory fact. Sammy spent unspeakably huge amounts to buy endorsements. Michael Kives was the agent, a “one-stop shop” for other celebrities. Sammy paid 500 million to Kives. Kives then paid for the most important endorsement of all: Satan’s pet author Michael Lewis. Satan’s pet wrote the…

It’s just gangland
I’ve been screwing around with this concept for several years and just now simplified it. After defeating Germany and Japan in WW2 we became the Axis. Until now I was thinking of the change as a mutation in the Allies. We brought over a bunch of Krauts and gradually let their craziness take over the…

Metawait 2
I’m deeply enjoying the failure of bitcoin. Fine vintage Schadenfreude**. One of the podcasters mentioned that mining one Bitcoin now costs $45k, but the coin only sells for $26k, with no hope of ever rising again to a profitable level. Wait! Why didn’t I think of this before? Nvidia makes the processors that grind up…

Big answer
TheFederalist interviews Jake Denton, a tech policy expert. Denton is Mach all the way down. He ignores the absurd noises of “elections” and “votes” and “legislation”, which normally prevent conservatives from thinking. He goes straight to raw personal power every time. Around 26:00 he answers one big question in a highly refreshing way. Why do…

Barbenheimer is not new
Finally got ENOUGH sleep last night. With a non-fogged brain, listened to the Ankler folks discussing Barbenheimer as usual. Ping! This peculiar cocktail was mixed once before! I mentioned it last year in my feature on the Peilempfänger. = = = = = START QUOTE: Speaking of festive colors and obscure cryptographic machines, here’s the…

First, second, third, fourth
One of the pro-AI substackers, discussing the fast “development” of systems like Midjourney, said: The next blockbuster movie will be written by a kid in Mom’s basement. First thought: It’s not “developing”. The development is done. What we’re seeing now is a carefully planned and staged rollout by the Men Of Monopoly, carefully publicized by…

Nature’s ledger
Thinking again about the peculiar self-liquidating scrip. A city issued the scrip with a series of boxes or punch locations. Each time the scrip changed hands, a new hole was punched and a small tax was paid to the issuer. When all the holes were punched, the scrip was simply discarded. It had served its…

Expert teacher, poor student
Back in 2019 I heard that Trump was trained by Roy Cohn, the best blackmailer in the world. This explained everything at the time. Since then, Trump’s blackmailing talents haven’t been on display. He claims that he didn’t want to do the “virus” tyranny, but he eagerly organized the concentration camps and strangled the world…

That’s why
I wrote my usual comment about the nonsense of “rights”. For some reason the usual comment caused a new thought today. The usual comment: “Rights” are nonsense, not found in the Bible. “Rights” were created by aristocrats to grant themselves more privileges than they already have. New thought: I’ve always wondered why this particular bit…

Trite but true, untried but true
Branching from previous item about the two Cindys. I figured out the truth when I stopped listening to Rush’s VERSION of what the Cindys (and Naomi) said, and started reading the ACTUAL TEXT of what they said. It was NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. Previous AHAS always came from finding a primary unmediated source.…
