Same old game
Activists are still throwing fake outrage about new “laws” and “treaties”. This week they’re motivating us to fight the WHO “treaty” which will supposedly enable what happened in 2020. 2020 SHOWED FINALLY AND DEFINITIVELY THAT NO LAW CAN STOP OR ENABLE MONSTERS. If 2020 didn’t teach you, you’re either incurably stupid or playing a game…

The answer
Ryan Grim seems like a plain vanilla commentator, sort of vaguely Libertarian but not unusually incisive. In this clip he shows a UNIQUE GRASP OF REALITY. No other public speaker has ever caught this basic fact of life. He’s talking about an international survey asking people if they feel their country has democracy. In US…

Not just “elections”
I’ve been hammering for years on the FACT that all “elections” are rigged, and the rig is NOT in the votes or counting. It doesn’t matter who votes or how the votes are counted. The rig happens before the ceremony of voting, when parties carefully remove all candidates and referenda that could change government behavior.…

-Anslinger
Bloomberg clarifies the new change in the legal status of pot. This doesn’t make it legal at the federal level. The change allows it to be prescribed by “doctors”, but only if it’s approved by FDA, which is guaranteed not to approve it. Neat backflip of the old Anslinger gambit which criminalized pot in the…

Occasionally the other way worked.
Reprint from 2017, tied to today’s theme. Later I realized that Desistance, trying to starve or bore the monsters, works far better than fighting them. Edited to include the better understanding. Nevertheless, the Harding breakup of Wilson’s monstrosities was a real-life example of excising the monster instead of starving it. So both paths can be…

Branch farts
From previous item: = = = = = START REPRINT: In fact NSA and CIA don’t use “laws” and “courts” at all. Even ordinary police are not restricted by “warrants”. All police spy on everything** they find interesting, then apply for a “warrant” when they’ve finished spying. After the “warrant” is AUTOMATICALLY ISSUED by a…

Radio in the walls
Looking up DeForest’s Unit Panel system, ran into an article in Gernsback’s Radio News from June 1928. Radio in the Ohio State Pen, by 52607. Conditions were definitely different when I was in Mansfield in 1969. If this article is accurate, the inmates of 1928 had far more latitude and trust. = = = =…

Kucinich misses Parkinson
Kucinich is running for Congress again. I like and admire him, but he seems to have fallen behind the times. He wants to be a Unifier Not Divider by increasing discussion between the parties. This might have been useful before 1990. Parties aren’t the problem now. As I was saying in previous item, civilization depends…

Reprint on elite influence
From last year. Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START REPRINT: Most of our institutions are stuck in a Parkinsonian positive feedback loop, often without any real reason. Corporations and universities and media channels keep punching and torturing and strangling their customers, and then they wonder why their customers are…

Immediate example
Here’s a good example of the defector rule I was discussing in previous item. This author is trying to say that Deepstate is not as powerful as we think. Specifically, Deepstate has been warning the rest of the government that the war in Ukraine is pointless and unwinnable. He starts with one blatant lie and…

Prophecy about prophets
Bumped into this when looking for something else I’d written about the null hypothesis. It’s an observation about prophets, and turned out to be prophetic. = = = = = REPRINT FROM 2012: Found an interesting snippet from a speech by George Romney in 1959, showing that his prophetic vision was larger than just the…

Common factor
Politicians refuse to solve problems because a solved problem means no budget and no talking points for campaigns. Every single problem must grow and grow and grow to provide more budget and more campaign funds. The sole purpose and goal of politics is endless pointless argument. If an argument might conceivably lead toward cleaning up…

Goddamn right.
Goddamn right. Good work by Jeffrey Funk. On the dot in every way. It’s refreshing to see a “conservative” writer who states accurately why universities are permanently useless. Most “conservatives” start with the bizarre delusional myth that universities were meant to be havens of “open debate” and “critical thinking”, but were ruined by Current President…

Normalcy is a dirty word
Every job worth doing leads to completion. This is how we judge real talents and interests. If you enjoy DOING a task, it’s not necessarily your best talent. If you enjoy COMPLETING a task, you should pursue this path. As I listen to these 1950s industrial films, I’m constantly reminded of the intended COMPLETION of…

For once the admins are right
Via KREM: A group of WSU faculty is complaining about the current university president, saying that he needs to bring in more money. They want a new admin that will: = = = = = START FACULTY: Will implement effective strategies that bolster the academic and research excellence of WSU, along with its associated reputation…
