    To update Heinlein, "A depoliced society is an armed society." The sudden decision of The Establishment in late May 2020 to discourage the police in turn encouraged the hundreds of riots in the name of George Floyd that ensued. Depolicing also helped drive homicides up a record 30% in 2020 as the police were told...
  • @That Would Be Telling
    @Abe

    Well aren't you a bundle of joy this morning.

    One of your problems is that "Boomers" are largely responsible for the nationwide sweep of concealed carry laws, although a Silent got that ball really rolling with Florida in 1987. I might check for Heller and MacDonald except that those two rulings changed nothing on the ground for firearms outside of D.C. and Illinois since the Supreme Court completely failed to follow up on them with one very recent, very minor exception until Bruen. But the ones who decided that were half Boomers, half Gen-X.

    I suspect our host's attitude problem comes from living in California, which mostly doesn't allow people to defend themselves outside their homes.

    Well... perhaps we should put "intelligent" in quotes!

    There are two quite obvious logical errors in the simulation argument:

    A) It begs the question. The argument is based on the idea that the true laws of the universe are basically those we ourselves know from modern science: from those laws the simulation argument is derived. But if we are in a simulation, then the laws we have derived only hold in the simulation, not in the "real" universe. We actually know nothing about that "real" universe.

    B) It involve a disastrous and quite silly category error. There are numerous simulations nowadays of airplanes, but you cannot actually use a simulation to fly from Singapore to London: a simulation is a (partial) copy of the real thing. It is not the real thing. The idea that a simulation of consciousness in a computer is actually conscious is just as silly as claiming that a simulation of you doing exercises will cause you to lose weight.

    These are not serious people.

    C) My colleague Sabine Hossenfelder in her recent book Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions points out another problem: the real world is very, very complex. There is no reason to believe that a computer -- any computer -- can store and process all the information required to model in fine detail, say, the biosphere of the earth.

    Unless, perhaps, that computer is as big or bigger than the earth.

    In which case, why build a computer as large as the object to be simulated? Why not just build the real thing?

    Well... maybe in the "real" world, the laws of physics are so different that computers are much, much more powerful. But that takes us back to Objection A. It's cheating.

    These counter-arguments are quite obvious and pretty conclusive.

    So, why do supposedly "intelligent" people accept the simulation argument?

    I would simply ask how many of them have actually shown their supposed intelligence by any successful achievements in dealing with the (real) material world.

    Perhaps most of them are better dealing with words than with the real material universe.

    By the way, there is a joke among physicists that quantum mechanics is simply a bug in the operating system.

    But that is a joke.

    Police chiefs and county Sheriffs in California’s centers of urban squalor tend to be highly politicized.

The rural(ish) counties north, south, and east of LA and SD, now that the indigenous whites have mostly fled, are controlled by Democratic Party aligned Latinos. Best bet for law-abiding whitey in the Golden State is to move to far north counties — excluding the Hippie dominated coastal enclaves Mendocino and Humboldt — like Shasta, Siskiyou, and Modoc. It’s State of Jefferson territory, and if the local constabularies have steel in their spine when facing pressure to subvert the law by Bonta’s office or the goons of the terribly-faced Garland, you’re likely to get a CCW, if you don’t have a criminal record.

    I always thought it was ridiculous that German police will have MP5s at certain events but Chicago police walk around with 9mms.

    If we gave our Chicago police full auto submachine guns then the libertarian/liberal alliance against scary guns in police hands would flip.

    Libertarians weirdly support full auto guns for citizens but actually oppose not just full auto guns for police but also ceramic armor under their belief that it is militarization.

    Well the police in Chicago deserve military gear. It is a warzone. Handguns are lousy in a 50-100 yard engagement and soft body armor still leads to cracked ribs.

    The brandishing of automatic weapons by some European police agencies in public settings is a legacy of the NATO Gladio networks which operated throughout post war Europe, creating a strategy of tension through the use of synthetic terrorist groups to keep tensions and military budgets high during the Cold War.

    European police were often cross-trained in anti-terror strategy and tactics. In the 1960s through the 1990s it wasn’t unusual to see cops with machine guns and stun grenades patrolling airports and train stations. The major metropolitan police forces in the U.S. adopted these modes after the still strange 9/11 event.

    We're all "bipolar" in the sense of having both right (intuitive) and left (logical) brain spheres. Health comes from balancing them.

    My guess is (as a resident of Portland), the violence may be related to the housing crisis we have been having after 2010. With a strict urban growth boundary and all the foreclosed homes being bought by investors and put out as rentals, there is a shortage of affordable homes and that has pushed many people into homelessness. Plus, the rise in addiction in the last decade. Net result, lot of people outside of homes becoming attractive targets for evil minds for easy shoot and scoot. Since many victims are marginal anyway, there is considerably less pressure on law enforcement to resolve the crimes. Honestly, how many tears will be shed if a homeless addict is killed in a shootout? Some people may even sigh good riddance.

Rose City has been a magnet for aimless, drifting, suicide-inclined white youth from across the country since the Grunge 1990s. But now it’s worse: the current young whites are more psychologically damaged and violent than the mostly passive junkies. Their heads are filled with poison courtesy of the culture, education establishment, and sometimes their parents. And this subset of white youth are more inclined to spread destabilization, and inflict physical damage on others rather than themselves. They are extreme narcissists.

    Yes, yes, yes. There are almost no blacks in Oregon. Most are in Portland, 5.8% of its population. They came in WWII to work in the shipyards and otherwise to supplement the absent labor force. Oregon historically was Yankee in the more populated Willamette Valley (includes Portland) and Dixie to the south and east. Both Yankees and Dixies were not welcoming to blacks. The first black exclusion law was passed in 1844.

    In the 1930s, all Portland neighborhoods would have been white.

Primary: mass foreign immigration, legal and illegal with national effects; large internal migration of fleeing and retiring Californians from higher-income labor markets (see Bandon, OR -- an earlier blue-collar population now outpriced and transitioning to renting and servant roles, development blocks of all-Californian upper-middle-class retirees); informal and formal toleration of drug abuse; subsidization and decriminalization of homeless.

And long grows those tendrils. This is why the capture of federal law enforcement and the military by what can only be called an enemy force is so disastrous. Because we’re going to need these now untrustworthy agencies to prevent third world levels of corruption and chaos.

    We need FBI/ATF/Marshalls to mount large scale operations against cartel agents within the United States. We need CIA/U.S. Military to declare war on cartel finances, leadership, infrastructure and take it out. If the Mexicans and other Latin American host countries illicit a response in protest make the kinetic action so devastating that you won’t have to tell them to go fuck themselves.

    But before the hammer drops extensive intelligence needs to be collected on American political and national security leaders like Alejandro Mayorkas and their revenue streams.

    What the post Reconstruction northeastern Elites realized is that white Southerners made by far the most compelling characters in any national story that was not some rank promotion of liberalism. And that's why America worked so well then. American began falling apart in the 1960s when its Elites began attacking the South and Southerners once again.

    Richard Hell played bass, and his conflicts with Verlaine (which focused on Hell being spastic on stage, which Verlaine saw as both undignified and as taking away the audience's attention from the music) led to his leaving Television in 1975 and eventually founding Richard Hell and the Voidoids, whose most famous recording was Hell's composition 'Blank Generation,' and had been written while Hell was in Television.

    The second guitarist in Television who traded such beautiful solos with Verlaine was Richard Lloyd.

    Verlaine and Hell had become friends in exclusive boarding school. So their conflict was long brewing, starting even as they had been drawn to one another by musical desires. Hilly Kristol, the Jewish owner of CBGB, was rumored to have said that the feud between Verlaine and Hell, who also were both Jewish, was Verlaine as the Jew who cared deeply about art and Hell as the Jew performer who cared most about shocking the audience and then about living the life of the wild artiste.

    Verlaine is another one of those guitarists who seems to have very little if any blues influence in his playing. I think my original view that they were pretty rare (could only think of Richard Thompson and Jorma Kaukonen) was a result of Boomer astigmatism - such guitarists are actually pretty common in the post-punk era (Marr, U2, Vini Reilly), and there were more than I thought in the pre-punk era, from Neil Young (like the solo in Southern Man) to Roger McGuinn in the Byrds.

    As someone who has worked for the federal government for over four decades, I've found that the common belief for government inefficiency inside it is that you just don't have the right people in charge and if you could get the right people in charge government would work better. After 40 years, I've come to the conclusion that it is more a systemic rather than personnel problem.

    Efficiency comes from competition and consumer choice. The best solution to inefficient government is to move as much of it as you can over to the private sector. In a few situations like the police or the military you can't do this. Here the voters need to closely watch government to make sure it is focused on its core function. One of the main forms of government inefficiency is straying from its core function and spending effort on something else.

    In the case of the Defense department that I work for, that would be affirmative action hiring, indoctrination of employees in woke leftism and getting involved in countries of no strategic value to the U.S. like the Ukraine. It would be the same with the police. The core function there is to catch robbers, murderers and rapists. It seems to be doing a poor job of that.

A visual anomaly that would’ve marred the film. Besides, as you point out, Pacino is a stunning actor. In the scenes Diane and Pacino share, Coppola does not hide the fact that Diane stands a few inches taller than Pacino. Which says a lot about Pacino’s and Coppola’s confidence in the character and story.

    Pacino fans may not have caught his turn as an ambitious NYPD patrolman looking for a pathway to the gold shield through an undercover assignment wherein he prowls the rough trade homersexual bars and nightclubs looking for a knife wielding killer in William Friedkin’s Cruising. Throughout the second act Friedkin rubs your eyeballs in sweaty and unsanitary homo-orgies because he’s a provocateur. It’s completely unsettling and sets the viewer up for the enigmatic third act that leads one to believe there is more than one killer, a contagion chain, and Paino’s character is caught up in it.

    Coppola’s Eighties output is interesting but inconsistent. But he did make the dreamy and romantic The Outsiders and Rumble Fish. Both of which were based on novels by S.E. Hinton and visually splendid. If Coppola didn’t turn out a film after Apocalypse Now he could’ve rested on his laurels from his string of 1970s films, all of which were celluloid masterpieces.

    I assume every male I encounter — if they’re literate and cultured — is as enthusiastic about Apocalypse Now as I am. So I recommend a book titled Dispatches by Michael Herr. Herr had a hand in polishing John Milius’s script which was based on the Conrad story. Herr’s Dispatches relates his time as a gonzo journalist in the thick of it in Vietnam. At times the passages in the book are mesmerizing, and you see where Coppola picked up his hallucinatory themes in the film.

    Beginning with The Outsiders, Coppola became a bit tone-deaf.

    The Godfather has perfect tone, and tone is not the problem of Apocalypse Now -- it's the story arc and conclusion. Even The Conversation, for what it is, has the right kind of tone.

    But The Outsiders is just all wrong. It's supposed to be a rugged story about working class youths, but it's so overwrought. Worse, it goes for sentimentality on an epic scale, like Gone with the Wind for delinquents.

    Whatever romanticism there is in Rumble Fish is undone by the stark b/w and vapid experimentalism.

    And what the hell were Puzo and Coppola thinking when they worked on The Godfather 3?
    Who wants to see a Nice Michael? And Andy Garcia as the son of Sonny? Garcia is a likable actor but lacks the edge to play someone so bold and aggressive.

    So deciding black was always innocent and perfect, white has to be evil beyond belief. And once this is accepted, like all articles of faith, it is never questioned. So all the evil blacks may do never count against them. All the good whites do never exonerates them. Simple.

    Jack D:

    You are begging the question: assuming that people with larger skulls relative to their heights are smarter than those with smaller skulls. That doesn't explain Madison at all. He was much smarter than most 5'4" men of his age (and probably of our age as well), but there is no evidence that he had a bigger skull than most of his 5'4" contemporaries. You have also used the weasel words "tend to be smarter." How do you account for those (relatively) big-skulled people who aren't smarter?

    Finally, it's probably true that miniature poodles are smarter than St. Bernards--because poodles of any size are the smartest dogs that I, for one, have ever encountered. But St. Bernards are actually famous for their huge heads relative to their body size, whereas poodles have relatively small heads. Doesn't this suggest (and here I'm invoking Steve's favorite rhetorical device, Occam's Razor) that it's what's inside the skull and not the size of the skull itself, either relatively or absolutely, that determines intelligence?

    He is currently busy writing the script to the JJ Abrams directed black Superman film but production has been stalled due to his difficulty in turning in a script, at least that's the company line. It isn't clear if during a brief pullback at media companies against the cartoonish Tumblr-style wokeness due to lack of any pushback, they aren't just trying to quietly kill it. But that writer and director combo would surely be eviscerated by online genre critics.

    The whole thing does remind me of 'Moonlight' which has 56 US MSM reviews listed on Metacritic, of which only 14 are anything but 100/100, only 10 are anything lower than 90/100 and the lowest is 75/100. Like all overhyped A24 films, nobody will ever remember it.

    https://www.metacritic.com/movie/moonlight-2016

    For instance here is an editorial by a liberal guy who is trying very hard to politely point out that the praise for 'Moonlight' is a bit contrived and based purely on it's ideological credentials because he's convinced if he'll doesn't he'll be crucified.

    https://www.filminquiry.com/moonlight-2016-review-2

    The whole point I’m dancing around is that we’ve allowed the message of the film, its ideology, to color our perception of its artifice. Perhaps that’s okay, but I have this sinking feeling that it is not—that it’s actually very, very bad. The societal import of a work of art is vital to our understanding of it as a whole but should not make a work of art beyond reproach.

    Renowned film critic Owen Gleiberman stated on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast that he felt more than a little hesitant to express his dislike of Moonlight for fear of being lambasted by fellow critics or labeled a racist by the movie-going populace. That notion is absurd and frightening.

    I’m not here to talk about political correctness or the so-far-left-they’re-almost-fascist politicking of so many these days, but it’s clear that much of that zeitgeist has bled into the world of film and, by extension, film criticism. I’m a liberal, but a person should be able to dislike a film without it being anything more than that. During the Golden Globes, my Twitter feed was drowning in a sea of outraged, spitting-mad fans sharpening their pitchforks as Moonlight lost in one category after another. That would not have been the case with a film of equal aesthetics and less ideological weight.

    I know this phenomenon is real; I feel it myself. I felt awful walking out of Moonlight bereft of any sort of rapture. I thought, “Am I crazy? Am I an awful person?” I waited weeks to write this article, fearing the scorn and backlash I might get. It’s early in my career, I can’t yet openly hold such bombastic opinions!

    The Americans at work in Norway operated under the same dynamic, and dutifully began working on the new problem—how to remotely detonate the C4 explosives on Biden’s order. It was a much more demanding assignment than those in Washington understood. There was no way for the team in Norway to know when the President might push the button. Would it be in a few weeks, in many months or in half a year or longer?

    The C4 attached to the pipelines would be triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a plane on short notice, but the procedure involved the most advanced signal processing technology. Once in place, the delayed timing devices attached to any of the four pipelines could be accidentally triggered by the complex mix of ocean background noises throughout the heavily trafficked Baltic Sea—from near and distant ships, underwater drilling, seismic events, waves and even sea creatures. To avoid this, the sonar buoy, once in place, would emit a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds—much like those emitted by a flute or a piano—that would be recognized by the timing device and, after a pre-set hours of delay, trigger the explosives. (“You want a signal that is robust enough so that no other signal could accidentally send a pulse that detonated the explosives,” I was told by Dr. Theodore Postol, professor emeritus of science, technology and national security policy at MIT. Postol, who has served as the science adviser to the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations, said the issue facing the group in Norway because of Biden’s delay was one of chance: “The longer the explosives are in the water the greater risk there would be of a random signal that would launch the bombs.”)

    On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. The signal spread underwater, initially to Nord Stream 2 and then on to Nord Stream 1. A few hours later, the high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water’s surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place.

    On the general subject of where Europeans come from (but a bit earlier):

    I highly recommend this Youtube lecture by the archaeologist Kristian Kristiansen that I just stumbled across:
    https://youtu.be/bxTVSwt-jsU

    The tl;dr version:

    Recent paleo-genetic and archaeological data together show that the original European farmers came from Anatolia starting around 6500 BC and had only modest interbredding with existing hunter-gatherer populations.

    In the late-fourth/early-third millennium, the European farmers were devastated by an early version of the Plague.

    In the wake of this devastation, pastoral people (the Yamnaya folk who became the Corded-Ware folk) from the steppes moved into the devastated lands of Europe, bringing the Proto-Indo-European language that is ancestral to the languages that most Europeans now speak.

    We are descended mainly from those Indo-European speakers and some of the hunter-gatherer populations with whom they interbred. The farmers of Anatolian origin left little genetic heritage (except, curiously, on Sardinia).

    And, through the male line, we are overwhelmingly descended simply from the Indo-Europeans: they likely killed off the indigenous males and took their women. Prehistory is not pretty.

    As Kristiansen put it, we are all Russians, at least through the male line.

    I have grossly over-simplified and left out a huge amount of detail. The most interesting aspect is the strength of the evidence for this narrative, largely acquired over the last decade or so.

    Yes, there were blacks in Roman Britain, particularly Nubian archers in the legions. York was home to thousands of Roman soldiers, and studies of skeletal remains from York indicate that 11 to 12% were of Black African origin.


    Previous anthropological investigations at Trentholme Drive, in Roman York identified an unusual amount of cranial variation amongst the inhabitants, with some individuals suggested as having originated from the Middle East or North Africa. The current study investigates the validity of this assessment using modern anthropological methods to assess cranial variation in two groups: The Railway and Trentholme Drive. ... The results of the craniometric analysis indicated that the majority of the York population had European origins, but that 11% of the Trentholme Drive and 12% of The Railway study samples were likely of African decent.

    Almost every statement you made in your comment is either factually incorrect or twisted and misleading. "Surrender" under threat of a $10,000 fine and 10 years in prison is not different than "confiscation". The seizures were not made "necessary" by anything, and the "planned devaluation" was only to protect the FED who were more than 50,000 metric tonnes of gold short of what it was supposed to hold to back the currency it had issued (illegally).

    The seizures were presented to Congress as "hoarding" gold by private citizens was "preventing the economy from improving", which was an outright lie. And the order was not aimed "primarily at the banks". Your statement about "generous exemptions" being made for coins of numismatic value is also false. Very few coins fit this description, and to state that the number of these coins "theoretically exceeded all the gold then in circulation" is an outright lie. Your statement that "at most 22% of gold coins were surrendered is also an outright lie.

    And there is no evidence that "literally tons" of US gold coins were held by foreign banks as currency reserves, since they held only bullion. No central bank hold coins as foreign reserves. Your other statements are irrelevant smoke meant only to confuse the issue.

    If by "Judaizing heresy," you mean Golden Calf/mammon worship and attendant corruption, decadence, and moral, social and intellectual disintegration, then no institution is immune. The Synagogue of Satan can, will and has infiltrated, corrupted and desecrated them all.

    That's why I preach Moses-Christianity, which is permanently vigilante against the Synagogue of Satan, and willing to confront it physically when necessary, as Moses did. Yes, the Prophets confronted it rhetorically, but only Moses physically decimated it. And Jesus Christ named it, so that it could be comprehended by mankind.

    This set the stage for Christendom, which also confronted it rhetorically and physically. But Christendom, as a general institution, was also eventually infiltrated and corrupted, because it forgot and then dismissed the Moses-Christian fundamentals.

    Yes. On this particular Honda main relay ("PGM-FI main relay") is a common failure. The relay shuts off the power to the fuel pump - no fuel, engine no run. The solder joints on the PC board go bad over time and become intermittent.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=honda+odyssey+minivan+stalling+while+driving+main+relay+site:www.odyclub.com&sxsrf=AJOqlzWffNh24F8XGZHtpEc8xX08WBTA7g:1676247698563&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjNhYOlnZH9AhVPEVkFHdVzCigQrQIoBHoECAkQBQ&biw=1093&bih=448&dpr=1.25

    I don't normally like to fire the "parts cannon" without further diagnostics (it's easy to end up replacing good parts) but this is a cheap part and worth a shot.


    Don't replace the fuel pump without replacing the relay first.

    This is something that someone who works on Hondas should know instantly because it's such a common failure. Steve needs to take the car to someone who is more specialized in Hondas. But hopefully his current guy can just replace the relay for him. It's really not rocket science. You basically unplug the old one and plug in the new one.

    Most of the content in Serling’s draft had to be chucked for budget reasons — Ape City was depicted as a high-tech future megalopolis. Veteran re-writer Michael Wilson was brought in and reduced Ape civilization down to a mid 1800s level. An alteration which gave the film a Western feel. Serling’s script was also obsessively talky (natch); Wilson scrubbed most of that to give room for the action sequences (fortunately). Wilson, working closely with director Franklin J. Schaffner, saved the film from Serling’s pre-woke predations.

Since I was a child, I always wanted to go out and physically do something, create something, read something or tackle some mental challenge. Once I was taking a course across the country (for a company I was working for at the time), the guys that I was taking the course with wanted to go to a baseball or football game and some guys that were from overseas were more than anxious to experience American sports first hand. I politely declined (not saying the truth that I would've rather gone to get a Root Canal). Why should I have to cover up my true feelings to just be polite?

    Off topic. I try to be skeptical about the paranoid correlations I notice. What seems like a pattern of events can just be a media reporting fad, not anything close to an unbiased sample. But…

    The US has the highest military budget, the most foreign bases, and the greatest number of military interventions since WW2. Arguably, the Pax Americana resulting from this posture was better for the world than feasible alternatives, but that has become more doubtful every year since the fall of the Soviet Union. The neocon/neolib country-smashing foreign wars with no purpose or result were shameful.

    Anyway, a long record of belligerence and hard and soft aggressions in dozens of countries was followed by the Ukraine provocation and an open vow to disassemble the Russian Federation. That drove the second and third biggest world powers into an alliance of coincident interests, and they are attracting support from some other countries previously compliant with the US hegemon. All that together suggests that there is a much heightened will and capacity in the world to make mischief for the United States. Enemies react, in novel ways, right?

    Meanwhile, a U.S. militarily menacing more than half the world has abolished security at its southern and northern borders, permitting an unregulated surge of millions from everywhere in the world and ceding sovereignty over the southern border to military-capable cartel mini-states who have no reason to be loyal to the U.S.

    I have zero military knowledge, but given these circumstances wouldn’t it occur to military planners in Russia, China, Iran, the jihadists, the Mexican cartels, Cuba, Venezuela and others to infiltrate military forces into the U.S. to carry out small operations in order to study US responses? Sabotaging power grids, food processing plants, trains, water supply? They already have plenty of electronic intelligence and human intelligence planted in ethnic enclaves; their next step would be to provoke and study responses while maintaining further saboteurs in silent reserve?

    Is that paranoid to think? Does anyone in the Pentagon, CIA, FBI wonder about such possibilities? Is it possible to believe at the same time in 750 military bases abroad but fully unregulated borders with enticements for entry?

    “I’d like to understand more about the assassination attempt on Reagan.”

    The unsuccessful assassin of President Reagan was named John Hinckley Jr. Hinckley’s father, John Hinckley Sr. had been a friend and oil business partner of George H.W. Bush since H.W. and family settled in Midland, Texas in the late 1940s. The dusty central Texas town had been a magnet for parasitic Eastern Seaboard gentry looking to exploit the oil boom.

    Whilst the Hinckley and Bush families bonded Hinckley Sr. became deeply involved with World Vision, an NGO involved in humanitarian work. World Vision became the prototype for the archipelago of NGOs stringed across the globe serving as cover and base of operations for the CIA.

    Espionage is a preoccupation of the Bush family. Prescott Bush, H.W.’s father, was a Wall Street banker and senator representing Connecticut. Prescott was one of the conspirators of the 1934 plot devised by Wall Street oligarchs to coup FDR.

    After the war, Prescott encouraged H.W. to become one of Allen Dulles’s minions in the oil and financal sectors. After his stint in the U.S. Liaison Office in China, H.W. became DCI at CIA. During his short term at Langley, CIA became deeply involved with the Operation Condor assassination squads and the establishment of narco-military dictatorships throughout Latin America. He would continue to do business with these regimes in the 1980s as vice president and into the 1990s whilst president.

    During the presidential election year of 1980, Neil Bush, son of H.W., was a friend and business partner of Scott Hinckley, brother to John Hinckley Jr. Both were based in Denver and attached to Vanderbilt Oil, a company owned by John Hinckley Sr. And during this period of time John Hinckley Jr. was in psychiatric care and under the influence of various psychoactives prescribed by his shrink. This mind management did not prohibit Hinckley Jr.’s arrest during the Fall of 1980 at the Nashville airport carrying three handguns on the very same day President Jimmy Carter was in town.

    In the 1980 Republican contest, the Reagan’s loathing of George H.W. Bush was not a secret. However, the political operators behind Reagan knew H.W. was the candidate supported by Langley. Saying no to the CIA is not a wise idea whilst competing for the White House. It is thought that in the end it didn’t matter: CIA was going to control the executive through assassination, and if that didn’t work, and it didn’t, VP Bush was going to operate his office like a shadow CIA, in partnership with DCI William Casey.

    And that’s how things turned out. Now, will you join me in my War Against Pants?

    Agree on the anti-conspiracy theory points.

    “Carter got a worse press than he deserved.”

    He alienated the left by moderating the demands of the left-wing landslide Congressional class of 1974, which hoped Carter would mark the first period of undivided leftist control since LBJ. His responsible center-left technocrat policies lacked any big popular base.

    There might have been some snobbery by the MSM against him too, though a lot of them also had rural middle American backgrounds. Carter seemed to play up his rural goober persona. He was well before my time, but from the clips I’ve seen of him on TV as President and after, he’s kind of smarmy and uncharismatic, and an inferior presence to Ford, Reagan, Ted Kennedy, or Mondale.

    Nixon and Carter took an interest in that. No other president did. The problem was that you have to sell re-organization efforts to Congress, and extant agencies have their patrons in gatekeeper positions. Also, the Democratic Party was and is a holding company of rent-seekers. Carter's attempt at reforming the federal civil service was a ruin by the time Congress got done with it. He also had some ideas of dubious value. The Departments of Energy and Education were incorporated by Congress during his tenure.

    A story that can be easily reworked into a SF epic wherein a Weyland-Yutani like spacefaring corporation establishes a Rorke’s Drift like base on a hostile planet accessed through the Iapetus wormhole. The corporate astronuts land and face the same numbers that bedeviled the redcoats during the 1879 event on Earth.

    “It was quite brave of Zelensky to stay in Kiev in 2022 and it was moderately brave of Biden to visit Kiev in 2023.”

    It could be that Zelensky has limited space in which to move. I’m unfamiliar with Russian capacity to mark and track a target utilizing satellite and drone surveillance. If Zelensky was an American target he’d be completely boxed-in, living underground, unable to use any kind of above ground transport lest it become an inferno. A helicopter carrying elements of Zelensky’s inner circle transformed into a fireball last month in Kiev. Scuttlebutt has it the CIA killed them because they were planning a coup against America’s hero and looking to initiate a peace process with Putin. If this true then it can be said that the CIA killed Ukrainian patriots.

    The only people who could believe that would be people who have never talked to a live Ukrainian. If they were planning a coup it would be because they were afraid Zelensky is going soft. I met Ukrainians even back in the early 90s who were itching to kill Russians, and those Ukrainians who are willing to compromise for peace are mostly the ones who left the country. There just isn't a meaningful "peace party" left in Ukraine, and the US and Europe are the dogs being wagged by the tail here, the US isn't in control of the situation.

    Meanwhile, not clear if Putin actually wants to win, at least not if means someone else gets the glory. Prigozhin, perhaps the only Russian military commander who has had any success, is now loudly complaining that his own compatriots are trying to undermine him and the Wagner group:

    That’s a complicated story. Look into the Nordic occult groups active in German-speaking Europe from the 1880s to the 1920s that eventually birthed Nazism and its mangod Hitler. These groups were heavily influenced by Sabbatean rabbis.

    Not complicated in the least especially when you see how anti White Jews are and what they have done to White nations. Jews have been spewing White hate 24/7/365 on just the (((television))) alone, not counting gas lighting nonwhites, spewing hate through lies in books, academia, advertising, etc.

    Not a "complicated story" at all when you consider the Holodomor happened before Hitler came into power, and given the Jews stabbed Germany in the back in WWI and prospered in Germany post WWI while Germans struggled. 5 Dancing Shlomos, USS Liberty, etc, etc., etc.

Ramaswamy is omnipresent in conservative media soothing the worried white rubes with his anti-ESG sermons. Larry Fink pleasures himself whenever Ramaswamy’s gleaming white teeth sparkle from his screens.
