Chickenshit cowards
The clickbaiters in “media” and “congress” are playing the usual stupid talking points game with the latest pretend “revelations” about Epstein. Was Trump on the list? “Congress” demands that the admin must release the list. In the first place, “revelations” never reveal. FOIAs are carefully censored. Deepstate never lets out the facts in a meaningful…

Surprising optimism
Economist Jeff Rubin, interviewed by Tara Henley, offers one big positive surprise plus some unsurprising facts. Surprising: Rubin points out that Trump’s first term imposed new tariffs on China**. Biden bashed the tariffs for partisan advantage, but actually continued and expanded the tariffs. Now Trump 2 is imposing more. These tariffs are bringing one genuine…

Shared Lie on coal
This item by Ruan Steyn, an energy realist, is a sharp surprise and a strong reminder that coal is FAR from dead, even in the US. The reminder is needed because everyone on both sides tells us that coal is gone. The Gaian side loves the lie and the pro-energy side (INCLUDING ME) hates the…

Greenwald shows how it’s done
While everyone else in “journalism” marches insanely to the same tyrannical beat since 1945, rigorously defending the Democrat team and killing all peasants, Greenwald shows how the Fairness Doctrine works. On the latest little “issue” with Zuck and Elon switching to Trump’s side, everyone else, and I mean EVERYONE, diligently pursues the Shared Lie. Zuck…

Not getting the error signal
When Pretty Boy Floyd and Luigi Mangione are universally seen as heroes worthy of emulation, the monsters in charge SHOULD see this as a serious error signal, like steering the ship into a small iceberg. This SHOULD require a serious course correction before the big iceberg sinks the ship. LIFE IS NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. Negative feedback…

Reprinted and examined
Linked in previous about bitcoin, worth reprinting and checking against later developments. = = = = = START 2017 REPRINT: Shared lies have been around as long as political partisanship. Both parties agree on a false definition of the problem. Party A says this is good, Party B says this is bad. Neither side is…

Shared Lies of Gaia
The latest Wolf Richter podcast mentioned a VERY important development that cuts against all the standard Shared Lies. Canada has just completed a new crude pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver, opening up a new export channel. Previously Alberta crude only flowed southward through US to Houston and New Orleans for refining and shipping. This IMPORTANT…

Great headline but wrong.
Dan Rather fought the truth and won, and the media never recovered From the NY Post, the master of hard-hitting headlines. = = = = = START QUOTE: Yes, Rather was forced out at CBS for his disastrous reporting on George W. Bush’s National Guard service, in which he relied on fabricated documents to allege…

Pony in Oz
Jeffrey Funk gathers up a long list of fake AI successes. In each case the machine was only doing part of the work, with humans in India doing the rest. There’s a real Turk inside the Mechanical Turk. There’s a little man named Ramesh behind the curtain in Oz. The same illusion was forced on…

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…

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…

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…

Wanna revolution?
Let’s say the “courts” decide Trump is ineligible because he didn’t officially halt a four hour trivial protest in one building, but the “courts” have no problem with Trump for ORDERING AND IMPLEMENTING THE BIGGEST CRIME IN HUMAN HISTORY, IMPRISONING AND STRANGLING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR TWO YEARS. If the “voters” give him a majority…

The Tocqueville shared lie
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START REPRINT: Listening to a second-string Repooflican radio talker. He’s running the same old tape about The Forty-Seven Percent, the same old line about Voting Largesse From The Public Treasury. He’s saying that Obama is guaranteeing perpetual D majorities by offering lots of free…

Another shared lie
In 1948 a Chevy sales film mentioned Volkswagen as an icon of Hitler. Twenty years later the actual car was the enemy in this 1973 film aimed at GM factory workers. It cites the losses in various other industries. Textiles were mostly gone. Home radios and TVs were all gone. 20% of autos were foreign.…
