1. Advocates for 'tiny houses' often push ease of maintenance as a selling point. After 26 years in a very small house (500 sqft), I disagree.
Obviously a 5-bedroom house needs more cleaning and maintenance than a 1-bedroom house. But when you minimize rooms AND minimize square footage, everything gets harder and more expensive. You can't use vacuums and brooms properly, and repairs require considerably more labor and strategy. The
default '50s house, around 900 sqft with two bedrooms and a big kitchen, is probably optimal.

Earlier I noted that the tobacco industry can feel secure against takeover by Amazon and Google. Another safe space is guns.
Sorosians hate tobacco and guns with an equally screechy ferocity. What do guns and tobacco have in common? Both are SELF-DEFENSE tools. Globalism requires TOTAL VULNERABILITY to weaponized criminals and weaponized governments and weaponized media and weaponized schools and weaponized churches.
Guns defend your body and house against violent migrants and criminals, and tobacco defends your soul against tyrannical oppression by culture and media. Both are risky, but in a situation of total invasion or oppression the defense can be worth the risk.

One of the early radio periodicals took an unusual approach in describing and naming stations. Instead of treating the call letters as the main descriptor, this magazine took the
owner as the descriptor. This made sense by analogy with previous business methods. The call letters were only an
official license, not the name of the business. When you shop for clothing you think about Sears or Penneys, not Tax Permit 14246 or Corporate Charter 612-A.
So the daily schedule of KUS was listed as City Dye Works:
and the magazine recommended this sequence of stations for an interesting day's listening:
This method would be completely useless now, because
one owner = one business is completely extinct. A recommended sequence now would be...
7:00 to 7:30 - Clear Channel LLC
7:30 to 8:00 - Clear Channel LLC
8:00 to 8:30 - Clear Channel LLC
...with no way to specify that these three items were separate stations on separate frequencies.

4. I was idly wondering ... All American jobs are being replaced by robots. Why not replace criminals by robots? ... Then the answer came ... Not all criminals, but terrorists HAVE BEEN replaced by robots. That's the whole point of the CIA/NSA
cybercrime with fake identities, as revealed by Wikileaks. In the old days CIA had to blackmail and pay and honeytrap real live Americans into being "lone wolf terrorists" serving "Islam" or "Russia". Now they've robotized "terrorism". Much cheaper and more efficient to "invade" and "hack" via computer. Grab the money and information, leave "Russian" or "Arab" fingerprints all over the cyberscene.

5. Considering Deepstate as a dynastic family, like the Windsors or Bourbons, clarifies things. Both Bushes are birthright Deepstate. Prescott was a banker and served in Army Intel in WW1, so his sons and grandsons were birthright. George Senior was head of CIA. Can't get deeper than that. George Junior displayed no particular talent, but genes are thicker than alcohol, and he served the family beautifully. The Clintons weren't ethnically Deepstate (though Hillary was a distant cousin) but were adopted when young and brought up as Deepstate. Obama was
thoroughbred Deepstate. Grandma was an investment banker, Grandpa was a leftist, Mom worked for CIA foundations overseas. All three legs of the tripod. Trump posed a giant problem because he was neither born royal nor adopted by royalty. He had to be GMO'd before he was allowed to campaign. Looks like the transplant succeeded.
Later edit: I didn't know much about Trump when I wrote that. Later I learned that Trump was Roy Cohn's last protege, which connects him firmly and dynastically to the NASTIEST end of Deepstate, the drug gangs and sex traffickers and blackmailers.
