Trying to break Parkinson
FinRegRag describes a part of government with a real scientific attitude. = = = = = START QUOTE: This past Tuesday, the Brookings Institution hosted Fed Vice Chair of Supervision, Michael Barr, who spoke about progress on the US Basel III Endgame revisions, given that the last version faced much resistance within the Fed and…

Modularity is the key
The latest appeal from Brownstone: = = = = = START BROWNSTONE: It became clear in 2020 and following that a major purge was on. It hit academia, media, government, and industry. The vaccine mandates helped cull the dissenters from many institutions. Censorship also worked wonders. The demonization of the resistance was ferocious. It remains…

Nice visual proof
Elon’s cultists sing the praises of the Ultimate Engineer Who Made A Missile Land Where He Wanted. This is pure nonsense. The Krauts were doing it in 1944, and our guided missiles were doing it routinely in the ’50s. Here’s a nice visual proof in a Vintage.es article. In 1959 the Post Office got involved…

Was it the same in 1918?
The Newberry interview made me curious whether Deepstate was officially involved in art around the time when art turned to shit. I had already seen a lockstep uniformity of propaganda in tech journals and educational journals, but hadn’t been looking in art journals before. Didn’t have to search long! The Committee on Public Information was…

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. = = = =…

Reaches the same conclusion
Ramesh Thakur writing for Brownstone reaches the same conclusion that I reached a couple years ago. Thakur is comparing the British Post Office mess, which was finally compensated way too late, with the “virus” holocaust, which hasn’t even decisively stopped let alone compensated. The two monstrosities are infinitely different in scale. The PO mess ruined…

Another argument for Foy
Compact Mag has a powerful article on an obscure British scandal. What happens when you trust the machine more than humans? Lots of innocent people end up in jail. In 2000 the British post office hired Fujitsu to build a software system linking all the post office branches in stores and other locations to the…

TVA, part 2 of 4
I’ve been putting together some digital replicas of TVA’s model city at Norris, obviously not trying to include the whole thing! Here’s the top view of the street plan with a scattering of houses. The original was somewhat denser, but nowhere near ‘walkable’. Norris was named for Senator George Norris, who had been pushing the…

What we lost part 99999999
Demons and Cadillacs don’t have a reverse gear. Demons only back up under external force, jumpy and tectonic in nature, like shoving a Cadillac backwards with a bulldozer. It’s worth noticing when demons are forced to skid backwards. A couple days ago Canada’s parliament gave a standing ovation to a 98-year-old ACTUAL LITERAL NAZI, a…

Hammering an old point
The argument about common carriers vs Youtube, Twitter, etc is fake. Supposedly we need to treat Youtube etc as more like common carriers in order to insure “free” speech. Supposedly new tech has blurred the line between publisher and carrier. Nonsense. The line is still perfectly sharp and clear. 1. There has never been free…

Deepstate = Cheapstate
An Ockham thought after reading some theorists who attribute various emergencies to complicated PHYSICAL stuff like HAARP or “directed energy weapons” or “viruses” or “biochipped nanovax” or “escaped biolab projects”, etc etc etc. Deepstate is Cheapstate. Rich fuckheads never spend money unnecessarily. When you own the media and all the channels for the media, you…

Wallace’s father and radio
Henry Wallace followed in his father’s footsteps in some ways, and tried to erase his father’s footsteps in other ways. Henry Senior was a farmer who turned into a writer and researcher on agriculture, then turned into Harding’s sec of ag. Henry Junior started as a writer and researcher and businessman in ag, then turned…

Trying to clarify
Inspired by Mabel, trying to clarify my thinking about the line between publisher and common carrier. First: Section 230 of the Communications Act was a bad piece of “law”, undoing a very old balance and a very old distinction. In the 1990s the new online publishers like Yahoo and Myspace didn’t look like newspapers, so…

What if PO had bought it?
From previous item, Morse ran the first real commercial trial of his system for the Post Office, but they decided it wouldn’t be profitable enough for full implementation. If the PO had bought Morse, many things would be different. After our PO turned him down, Euro POs made better offers, and most of them quickly…
