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.…

Da yoots has got it right.
The Progressive Policy Institute (Will Marshall’s outfit) surveyed young working class folks. If the poll is valid, it shows a remarkably accurate understanding, despite all the toxins spewed by R and D media for decades. These people want Democrats to be like FDR and want Repooflicans to be like Ike. A couple of specific questions:…

Metawait 2
At a fixed timepoint in every episode of Lady Edgar’s official propaganda outlet This is your FBI, the smarmy Special Agent slaps his forehead and says “Wait! Why didn’t I notice this before?” Here’s one of those moments. For many years I’ve been focusing on ZERO TAX as the sole purpose of Repooflicans and Tech…

More Thiel Questions
Thiel Questions are arguments or views that others don’t share. The last time I updated them was more than a year ago. Time to add a few more. I’ve written about each of these before but didn’t treat them as Thiel. = = = = = (1) Standard “history” tells us that we didn’t offshore…

Old shared lie
Headline: Hillary Clinton warns against Trump 2024 win: ‘Hitler was duly elected’ Classic example of a Shared Lie. This is a valid argument against Trump. It’s ALSO a valid argument against Hillary. Most importantly, it disproves the entire myth of elections. Machiavelli wrote the book. Rulers still follow the book. For a ruler, elections are…

The hologram
Reprint from Nov 2016, shortly after Trump was “elected”. Nothing has changed except that I’m older now and exhausted from three years of TRUMP’S Nazi torture and strangulation, so I can’t write as well now. = = = = = START REPRINT: I’m still impressed by the fireworks aimed at a shimmering hologram of “Trump”.…

It’s all Sucker Filter
Looking at the post “debate” discussion, I was struck by the total absence of non-suckers. Everyone in the discussion stays inside a carefully constrained set of Shared Lies. This led to an extremely simple conclusion, which I’ve been nibbling around for a long time without quite getting there. Sucker filter explains EVERYTHING in politics. Politics…
