Excellent ID teaching
John and Sandy Palmer have produced an EXCELLENT series of videos on intelligent design. I've been reading and thinking about this stuff for 40 years, and these videos have clarified many points that I didn't see before.

Unlike the obnoxiously overproduced rock-n-roll videos from Discovery Institute, these are just straightforward discussions, with complementary insights from John the engineer and Sandy the teacher. Diagrams are included where needed, but there's no fancy camera cuts or rock-n-roll noise.

In this segment they cite an argument used by Darwinists to claim that gradual unguided randomness can lead to big visible changes.

The argument: If you look at a 1953 Corvette and a 2020 Corvette, you'll see two dramatically different designs that have a vaguely similar theme. But if you look at each annual model change, you'll see small and often invisible changes accumulating to the big jump across 60 years. John and Sandy point out that the Corvette was NOT altered by cosmic rays randomly impinging on the engine and body. It was carefully designed by intelligent humans.

BUT: If you understand WHY auto designers make changes, you can see that change itself comes from an intelligent decision, which was NOT an intrinsic part of the reason for design in either animals or cars. Harley Earl had a rigid policy of changing the appearance of every car every year. This was NOT a necessary policy. Other car companies changed far more slowly or not at all. Dodge's 4WD Power Wagon truck remained the same from 1938 to 1968. Jeeps have remained recognizable from 1941 to 2021. These were SUCCESSFUL products.

Nature is more like Power Wagons. Every product remains exactly the same for millions of years unless it is totally killed off. When a change occurs, it's nearly always from the variable parts of the genome, not from the hardwired constant genes. The epigenes contain all available variations.



Meta: Unfortunately it's easy to see why Discovery chose the obnoxious route. Their videos have 80000 views, while the Palmer videos have 10 views. Harley Earl knew what he was doing.

  Amazingly good idea!
99% of Quora questions are pointless bots. Here's an extreme exception:

CDC is fueling anti-vaxxers by their new mask policies. Should the Biden administration abolish CDC and transfer the pandemic response to Pfizer?

YES! YES! YES!

Ordinarily letting one industry's profit determine policy is unwise, but in this specific case it would achieve the desired goal. Vax is real public health. Lockdowns and muzzles are the EXACT OPPOSITE of real public health.

CDC doesn't WANT to reach herd immunity or full vax, because CDC's goal is torture and riots and screeching superhell and total hyperobliteration of more than all universes. Maintaining a scapegoat group makes total war easy when it's time to pull the trigger.

Abolishing CDC and executing all of its employees, plus all the "bioterror" monsters, plus all the Public Death Officers in all states and counties and countries, is the ONLY CURE for the REAL PANDEMIC OF HOLOCAUSTS.

More broadly, leaving aside the demonic purpose of CDC, this is just good old Parkinson. A bureaucracy never solves a problem. A bureaucracy always UNsolves the problem to justify ever-increasing budget and power. A profit-driven company wants to sell its product to EVERYONE. Two or three competing companies will sell to everyone even faster.

  Best analysis ever
I was looking for Neil Postman's discussion of media mind control, and found a BEAUTIFUL essay in an unlikely context: A blog on Jazz!

The core point:

Do we need multiple angles and resolutions for a simple interview? Do we need a montage of shots held for less than a second each to introduce a program? Is it possible for any Hollywood suit to approve of a movie trailer that doesn’t end in an orgasm of glimpses? This fragmented presentation is no more an example of style (in any meaningful sense) than smashing a guitar to bits against a howling amplifier is an example of “controlled feedback.” The attempt to communicate via the mind is abandoned for an indulgent assault on the recipient’s senses.

MTV has cultivated its own audio-visual language, with snippets of songs and disconnected video clips being the main tissue of the channel’s reality-oriented shows. Nothing is developed in linear fashion (although it may be edited to give such an impression); no mood is sustained for longer than a few seconds; and Nononono / Time / isallowedfor Re-FLEC/tion or ac.tive. thoughtproc-esses. It’s entertainment for the mentally impaired. (And this same channel presumes to tell people how to vote.)

My question is what the cut-up sensibility (oxymoron) will do, in the long run, to how people receive and process information. I suppose the long run will tell. In the meantime, I’m convinced that jumpy presentation is one way to make the viewer believe in information that isn’t there.

The verbal illustration of ASYNCHRONOUS TIME is brilliant and concise. You can hear the same tricks in the output of professional talkers like Rush and Beck.

I've been focusing lately on star beacons and clock-like mechanisms in an effort to pray a counterforce against asynchrony.

  I wake for beauty
Since my computer failed last week (entirely my own damn fault!) I've been reconstructing my various workspaces in a 'newer' computer that I had in storage. Important stuff was well preserved on daily backups, but I never bothered to preserve my bedtime playlist. So I rebuilt it from CDs and from otrcat.com downloads. Clearing and rebuilding was probably a good thing. I was able to bring back some good episodes that I had forgotten.

One episode of 'Can you imagine that' includes a perfectly beautiful rendition of the 1937 song Marquita by the Transcription Company Chorale.

This episode wakes me up just before the song starts every time. There's nothing noisy in the rest of the episode, no gunshots or screams, just calm courteous Lindsay MacHarrie narrating. Nevertheless, my mind catches something in the narration and wakes me up just in time to appreciate the perfection.

  RIP Mike Gravel
Kevin Barrett notes that Gravel died a few days ago.

Gravel was the ONLY politician who had the GUTS to reveal truth while he was still in office. He used the official privilege of Congress to read the classified Pentagon Papers into the public record.

The privilege has been in the "constitution" all along, but nobody else ever used it.

Gravel continued telling the truth as he saw it.

The last GUTS, now gone.

Vaguely related sidenote about India. Only a few MDs and virologist types have dared to defend real science against the holocaust's total reversal of all logic and facts and science. MOST of those heroes have Indian names. This is true in US and Canada and Britain and Germany. I haven't been following other countries but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same there. I don't know what causes this correlation, but it's a STRONG correlation. Were scientists from India left out of the demonic circle of secrets and blackmail?

  No longer anonymous!
I've been loving and appreciating and advertising the anonymous and PERFECT musicians who worked for Transco Syndication. Tonight I was looking for an alternate rendition of one of their masterpieces, heard in this episode of Can You Imagine That. The first item that popped up in Youtube:

Here they are!



The Transco Chorale! The same group (I think) was heard more intensely in Down Our Way.

This Youtube channel has dozens of numbers by the Chorale, including all the pieces I've heard within various episodes. Unfortunately the individual singers are still anonymous. The web doesn't seem to contain any further information. 'Transco' is a generic company name used by hundreds of more recent businesses, drowning out possible older references. The real Transco is mentioned a few times in broadcasting business journals of the '30s, but those don't discuss the music.

I've been occupied with wind and power outages, and haven't checked in with Tanzania lately. This video by Mark was two days ago. He's in Mwanza now, which is just as free as Dar es Salaam. As usual he wanders through streets and stores. Precisely zero muzzles, zero fear, zero panic, zero distancing. Just NORMAL FREE HAPPY PEOPLE, working and living a NORMAL FREE HAPPY LIFE, in a prosperous-looking city.

I've pointed to this one before as part of a 'Can you imagine that' episode.

The sheer beauty of this rendition of 'Marcheta' deserves to be pulled out and highlighted.

  Real science from Belarus
Last week I got twitchy, trying to read tea leaves and entrails. False idiotic alarm. Lukashenko is unquestionably holding firm.

Best of all, Belarus has just connected its new nuclear power plant to the grid, after about 8 years of careful construction and one year of testing.

China and Russia have been adding new REAL nukes in the last few years. The most recent new operational nuke in USA was Watts Bar in North Carolina, an additional reactor on an existing site. (And a nice aptronym.) This happened quietly in 2016, after a decade of pure destruction.

Later: Well, maybe there's reason for twitchiness after all. Lukashenko seems to be wavering on the "virus" after holding perfectly steady and normal for 8 months. Still hard to determine, still remains to be seen.

  Heroic in practice
In the early stages of the holocaust, the president of Tanzania did a HEROIC act. He rejected the entire premise of the holocaust with an ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.

I got curious to see if he was practicing what he preached. Some leaders (eg Abbott of Texas) sound brave but abjectly surrender to the holocaust.

No surrender in Tanzania!

Random Youtube clips make it clear.

This remarkably wise young dude shows lots of street scenes, store scenes, and even a crowded bus. No masks, no distancing, no fear, no panic. Strictly normal.

Constants and variables: Tanzania's normalcy ISN'T just generalized African looseness. Judging from random samples, some African countries are TOTALLY Mascoid, up to the insane standards of Boris or Newsom or Inslee.

Best of all is this 'makeup girl'. She's a little more careful about showing faces because she's often criticizing other makeup artists and wants to avoid libel; but all the people who accidentally get into the picture are unmasked.

Here she's discussing immunity while doing her eyebrows. She gets everything right, and explains it in a clear and ALIVE way.



BEAUTY AND SCIENCE.

Excellent teaching. Even Euros might be able to understand it from her explanation... No, we wouldn't. We can't learn.

Superbravo for Tanzania and its president Magufuli. A man of Islam and science leading a country of Islam and science and BEAUTY.

Later thought: I could subtitle this item "Why Africa is going to survive while EU/US/UK commit total national suicide."

= = = = =

Detail footnote after looking it up: Unsurprisingly, Tanzania's ruling CCM party is solidly socialist and originally Soviet, directly descending from founder Nyerere. In the last decade CCM has been moving toward controlled capitalism, resulting in solid growth of income. All land and major industries are still state-owned. So Tanzania fits neatly with the fully free northern countries of Sweden and Belarus, and the (at least officially) free Turkmenistan and Uruguay. Three Soviet descendants, two Socialists.

BUT: The system doesn't explain everything. Several of the Soviet-descended or socialist countries have gone total Mascoid, including South Africa and Russia. There's something special about the fully free countries. Most likely it's just the character and personality of the leader. Freedom requires socialism plus a gutsy leader who is deeply devoted to SERVING his people.

  Belarus continues to lead the way
Lukashenko shows yet again a CORRECT AND COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING of viruses and immunity.



Trust your body. Treat it right. Let it work. Don't fuck it up with panic and lockdowns and masks.

Your body knows VASTLY more than any doctor about fighting viruses. This was always true before 2020, and it's hyperinfinitely true now that all doctors have switched to mass murderers.



The Soviet 'time-capsule' countries DIDN'T turn doctors into killers. They continued the high-quality Soviet medical care.

Conservatives blame 'socialized medicine', ie Obamacare, for the transformation here. It's not that simple. Government can act FOR health or AGAINST health. In Belarus and Turkmenistan the fully socialized medical system is acting FOR health. What's the difference? Productive economy vs bank economy. In US and UK, all resources are devoted to increasing the wealth of Goldman and Bezos. In Soviet countries, all resources are devoted to productive labor. Everyone is useful, everyone produces things, so everyone needs to be ALIVE and healthy. Since 1973, bankers have figured out that they don't need people, so they do everything possible to eliminate people. An efficient market requires zero Negative Externalities. The current holocaust is the latest step in a LONG process.

  Belated addition
Belatedly adding Turkmenistan to the map of sane countries. This isn't a newly recovered sanity. Turkmenistan belongs with Sweden and Belarus and Japan and Korea as SANE FROM THE START, never surrendering to Satan. The sources I was reading didn't recognize it earlier. I apologize and correct the error now.




The leader's attitude is similar to Lukashenko in Belarus. Trust your body, don't trust the globalist experts. REAL SCIENCE. Like Belarus, Turkmenistan is among the Soviet 'time capsule' countries, which seems to be a relevant variable but not the only variable. Turkmenistan is also strongly Islamic, with government partly by sharia law. Two separate links to SANITY.

  Excellent!
In Calif, Orange County has decided to open schools PROPERLY AND NORMALLY in the fall. No mandatory suicide masks, no mandatory Chinese distancing.

OLD NORMAL!

Orange County is BIG, so it should exert some bullypower over smaller districts, and especially over the teacher unions. It appears that most actual teachers are smart enough to understand reality, but the unions are run by Karens and lawyers.

The situation is familiar. On curricular issues like "global warming" and "gender", many real teachers would prefer to stick with objective facts, but the administrators and unions are listening to lawyers instead of reality.

In this case the ADMINISTRATORS ARE TAKING THE LEAD in returning to reality, which is a totally new and unprecedented change.

  Adding Florida to the reclamation map
I've been occasionally noting REAL returns to sanity, real gains for God's side, on the map. Most of Europe is flowing in the right direction now, but going with the flow doesn't deserve special attention.

I've been reluctant to add any US states to the anti-Satan forces. Several are going with the flow, and deserve tentative praise; but several that started in the right direction have already collapsed to Satan. Especially Texas.

I think Florida finally makes the grade. Gov DeSantis has been clearly articulating REAL science for quite a while, debunking the genocidal misuses of numbers and "cases". Now he has made a SOLID statement with NO wiggle room.

Headline: Not going back.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that the state will not reimpose sweeping shutdowns amid rising coronavirus infections, saying that going back to lockdowns would cripple the economy without saving lives.

DeSantis drew the line even as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last week ordered all bars closed, and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey told residents to stay home and declared that the state was “on pause." Just last week, after the state recorded 25,000 new infections in just five days and 9,000 in one day alone, Florida once again prohibited the on-premises consumption of alcohol at bars; there are no restrictions on occupancy at gyms or stores.

So Florida joins the few COURAGEOUS realists.



I've also added South Dakota, where Gov Noem has been equally firm and clear from the start. I probably should have put her on the map earlier.

7/9 update: Florida is still holding SOLID, and now adding a SOLID MANDATE to reopen schools ALL THE WAY in the fall. More Bravo!

Time for another small but meaningful addition to the FREE territories of the world.

Via BBC, the Isle of Man has officially discarded all the Witch crap and returned to REAL NORMAL.

The Isle of Man has traditionally been semi-independent from Britain, even in modern times. Now the semi-independence pays off. Restoring sanity to PART OF BRITAIN is especially important with Boris hanging tough on eternal total insanity.

I'll add it to the Restoration map, though it's hardly visible between Scotland and Ireland:



The Isle joins Thuringia, Sweden, Belarus, Tanzania, Japan, and Korea as OFFICIALLY sane places. (Bearing in mind that many nations and regions have retained or restored UNOFFICIAL sanity through quiet non-enforcement.)
