As fucking usual
"Conservatives" constantly support causes and goals that destroy the society they PRETEND to favor. ZERO TAX made Facebook and Amazon possible.

About 10 years ago charter schools were a big "conservative" fad. Allegedly charter schools would use public funds without the crap of public unions and idiocy. I threw some money at the state charter organization back then because I was an idiot.

Every now and then they send me emails. Today's email proves the point beautifully.

Ready for this?

As our world evolves, so too must our systems. At WA Charters, our vision for the future of public education looks like student-centered, community-rooted schools that are equipped to disrupt systemically racist and inequitable policies and practices.

Baionne Coleman, CEO of Rainier Valley Leadership Academy says it best. "Black, Indigenous and Global Majority teachers are needed in large numbers across our nation for all scholars. Our youth need to see Global Majority adults as authority figures and loving individuals, instead of the numerous stereotypical myths that depict Global Majority people as 'less than'."

By advocating for charter public schools to continue to grow in our state and for charter students to have access to fair funding, we can help more schools like RVLA launch and thrive. In the coming year, WA Charters, our partners and community will be leading the charge to help make more antiracist education possible.

Thank you for being a part of our community of support.

Patrick D’Amelio President, WA Charters P.S. Help support more antiracist education through a financial contribution or signing up to be an advocate for charter public schools in Washington state!

Ha ha ha. Gotcha! Or more precisely Got Me.

By now I'm not really surprised. From the start, most of the charters were "leftward" from public schools, not "rightward".

BUT: Under the Global Majority crap there's a diamond. Both "left" and "right" ignore and disdain real Africans. Real Africa is the source of sanity and hope for the world. Tanzania was the only country that firmly resisted the "virus" holocaust on SCIENTIFIC grounds.

And another diamond, or at least a zircon. The plain fact is that integration harmed black people far more than it helped them. Integration broke up the black upper class and disemployed black teachers. After the integration of the 1950s, students were mixed but teachers were all white.

If "antiracists" would recognize these facts in a more objective and less Maoist way, I'd support them wholeheartedly.

Later: This article shows that the "right-wing" movement for charters, sponsored by Betsy DeVos, was directly in charge of implanting the Woke shit. Also not surprising. Defunding police also started in "right-wing" circles.

  Worst futurist of all
From a 1964 Canadian broadcasting trade journal, the silliest set of prophecies I've ever seen. All the conventional crap in one place.

Broadcasters are too deeply immersed in the present to pay adequate attention to the future, Stuart MacKay, president of All-Canada Radio & Television Ltd., told the semiannual meeting of Northern Broadcasting Ltd.

Old joke: Call out "Stuart! Come here!" and you'll select all the Canadians in a crowd.

We are on the threshold of a 30-hour work week. What are we doing about filling attractively the spare -time vacuum this will create?

Maybe he meant a 30-hour workday. Ha ha ha.

The step from the affluent society of today to the opulent society of tomorrow is no great distance in time, and we are perhaps at midpoint in that stride.

Loyalty to a particular retail outlet will be a thing of the past, he said. Shopping for the family will be divided equally between husband and wife. A large part of shopping for name brand products, especially in the grocery line, will be done by telephone.

Correct about the return to phone ordering, but NOT because of opulence. It happened because of the biggest crime in history, the war of attrition devoted to DESTROYING all prosperity.

This will be a direct outcome of apartment living, which will rise to include about 50 per cent of the population in ten years, he said.

Bizarrely stupid.**

People will live longer and marry younger.

We're living shorter and marrying later, because the long war of attrition has destroyed all purpose in life.

The youthful families will have acquisitive desires far beyond the ambitions of their age group today. They will be accustomed to the status symbol concept, blase or slightly cynical.

Accustomed? Blase? Tell that to the rich Instagram Influencers.

Women will play a more dominant role in many fields. Domestic technology will free women from many conventional domestic chores, giving them additional expandable time. And women will be attracted into spheres previously a man's world, law, engineering, senior posts in commerce and the sciences.

Correct about "law", wrong about the others.

  Still missing the same point about alien talk
From MindMatters yet again.

The other question is, in a universe governed by the same principles of logic, mathematics, physics, and chemistry throughout, it should be possible for intelligent entities to somehow find a way of making contact. The fact that those principles of math and physics can be described abstractly at all seems to show that we do not live in a meaningless universe. Thus, in principle, there is meaning that we — and ET — should be able to find.

If extraterrestrial intelligences exist and want to communicate, it will be the same meaning. They won’t have a different “logic” or “mathematics” because they can’t.

No, no, no. Logic and math are irrelevant and unnecessary.

When we are communicating via radio waves, there is a guaranteed set of commonalities. We don't know anything about the aliens, but we know how their receiver works, and they know how our transmitter works. There are only two basic ways to create and receive electromagnetic waves. Nature does it one way, and human technology does it the other way.

Nature alters the static field by moving ions in neurons or tissue. Human tech alters the magnetic field by moving electrons in wires.

We know several of Nature's methods. Radio fish simply extend the axons of neurons out of the body in an antenna, with its length tuned to match the impedance of the mud they live in. Flowers transfer ions into petals to send a message to bees, then pull back the ions after the bees have grabbed the pollen.

Nature did it WITHOUT USING MATH, and the first humans to send and receive radio were doing it with minimal math. Mostly by trial and error, expanding in directions that seem to work, steering away from directions that don't seem to work. FEEDBACK IS LIFE.

So, as I've been saying repeatedly, the communication should be ABOUT the communication. Describe the circuits and antennas in a two-dimensional pattern that can be scanned after the receiving intelligence realizes the scanning freq.



This is how radio hams communicate across cultural barriers, especially when censors are listening. Humor and politics and religion aren't easily understood, and may be deadly. Antenna lengths and circuits can be understood by everyone in the circle.

HOWEVER! Considering that I've been repeating this message for years in the tiny single-culture circle of a few blogs, and nobody has heard it yet, I doubt that we have any chance of communicating to mysterious aliens.

  Just puzzled
Disclaimer: China's internal political system is not my department, not a subject I understand at all.

Just noticing 'out of character' behavior by China.

Several parts of China are getting forced and frequent power blackouts, not induced by extreme weather or sudden increases of load. Most sources attribute the blackouts to the loss of Australian coal imports. The process, and the bureaucratic "messages", sound just like what happened here in June.

The numbers don't seem to justify such a widespread crackdown. China gets 2/3 of its power from coal, but only 1/10 of the coal is imported, and only part of that is from Australia.

Why is Australian coal missing? Australia decided to "investigate" the Chinese origin of the "virus", which is a false flag. Australia has been destroying itself for a full year "because" "virus", even though the alleged numbers of the actual "virus" are nowhere near other countries. China then responded by blockading Australian coal.

The origin doesn't matter because the "virus" doesn't matter. The lockdowns and ballgags were a planned worldwide funfest for psychopaths. That's all. Nothing else. Orgasms for demons.

Australia has already strangled its own people far more than most countries, and now it sabotages what's left of its economy by unnecessarily offending China.

On the other side, China knows what's going on, and its own local psychopaths have been running the same scam, though nowhere near as harshly and violently as Australia.

Self-sabotage is a long tradition in the Five Eyes countries. We've been handing our own economies and skills to China for 40 fucking years, in order to enrich the rich and slaughter the poor.

Self-sabotage and blockades are NOT typical of post-Mao China. Some people say that Xi is returning to ChairmanMaoThought, and this might be related.

Well, it appears that we are actually OUT of Afghanistan.

This is a positive event whether it was deliberate or not. I was assuming that Biden would do the usual fake pullout "justifying" a massive new war. So far there's no evidence of the latter. We're just OUT.

Every exception to Parkinson is a good thing. Every breakdown in perpetual idiocy is welcome.

Orlov undoubtedly appreciates this specific event. He pointed out that the Soviet failure in Afghanistan precipitated the final death of the USSR. Now the US failure in the SAME Afghanistan is helping our collapse. Not a metaphor, not a rhyme. The same failure in the same place for the same stupid reason.

The media on "both" "sides" are decrying this good event. The R side is predictable, since everything done by D is bad in R's eyes and vice versa. The D criticism is more interesting. They're quoting Bush Junior verbatim, repeating his original idiotic justification for the war, warning that the "terrorists will follow us home."

= = = = =

I want to add a couple of earlier rhymes that aren't generally recognized.

In 1918 we invaded and occupied part of Russia. We were propping up the Mensheviks. When we pulled out, the Bolsheviks immediately won BECAUSE THE MENSHEVIKS WERE SEEN AS FOREIGN OCCUPIERS.

In 1946 we occupied part of China. We were propping up Chiang. When we pulled out, Mao immediately won BECAUSE CHIANG WAS SEEN AS A FOREIGN OCCUPIER.

The same happened in Vietnam.

Now the same has happened in Afghanistan. We invaded and occupied and propped up our own puppet. When we pulled out, the Taliban immediately won BECAUSE OUR PUPPET WAS A FOREIGN OCCUPIER.

103 years of miserable infinitely stupid infinitely deadly poetry.

And I need to add an external rhyme that may be relevant. Bush Junior is coming back into popularity on "both" "sides" of the media. The very same Bush Junior who LAUNCHED THE VIRUS HOLOCAUST IN 2005. Are we seeing a behind-the-scenes coup?

Today they converged to MSNBC. As fucking usual. I wasted $10 on a subscription, always hoping to get value for money. Should have known better. Independence is always fake. Canceled.

This really fits into the category of editing and selecting. The converging episode wasn't their own work, it was some other asshole. They selected it as suitable for their brand.

When people pay for a magazine or a show or a food product, they are paying for a container of a specific substance. When the jar is labeled as gluten-free, the jar shouldn't contain wheat.

Apparently he committed "suicide" in prison.

I wish I could work up sympathy, but I can't. He didn't NEED to be in jail. He was rich. He could afford to pay taxes. He chose to evade taxes for the joy of cheating. Not a martyr, just a fool.

He was a poetic spokesman for HARDASS realism, but he was also a salesman for Bitcoin, an unrealistic fraud.

= = = = =

Reprint from a few months ago:

= = = = = START REPRINT:

Truth is just an advertising gimmick.

Well, not exactly and not entirely. But it's a fairly consistent pattern in political circles.

What does truth advertise? Fake monetary reforms.

In the 1880s, the prairie populists under Jennings Bryan were telling the HARDASS truth about corporations and banks. Their solution was more debt plus Bimetallism, now forgotten. Bimetallism was a variable mix of gold and silver that would remove gold from its position as the one solid measuring baseline. Debt plus bimetallism would give MORE power to the banks, not less.

Now many (NOT ALL!) of the people who are telling the truth about economic crimes and "global warming" crimes and "virus" crimes are also selling Bitcoin. Bitcoin is another scheme to remove solid baselines from money. Bitcoin goes vastly farther than bimetallism, removing money from money. Bitcoin is an abstraction that can't be spent, can't be earned, can't be relied on for stability, and can't be reliably stored. It violates every single rule for currency.

Hardass realists, from McAfee to Assange to AIER, are Bitcoin salesmen.

This contradiction doesn't fit the usual Sucker Filter pattern. The usual scammer is looking for suckers who are unmoored from reality, who will believe any sort of nonsense if it's presented convincingly. The sucker category here is based on social position, not truth detection. In a time of total lies, people who see the truth about anything at all are dissidents, constantly mocked and shunned and punished. They need reassurance and respect. The scammer creates respect by agreeing with the sucker on most of reality, and then uses the respect to sell one obviously unreal product.

In between the 1880s Bryan types and the 2020s McAfee types, there were two giant exceptions to the rule. Harding and FDR. Both of them told the hard truth about economics, and used the truth to create GENUINE REFORMS that dethroned the bankers and restored human skill and human culture.

How do we break out of the Bryan/McAfee side of this cycle and get back to the Harding/FDR side?

  Just reviewing
Writing this down for my own purposes, to see if writing helps clarify some puzzles.

This piece of Jeffrey Tucker's running account of the holocaust's backstory deserves a highlight for two reasons.

For all the problems with Lewis’ book, and there are plenty, he gets this whole backstory right. Bush came to his bioterrorism people and demanded some huge plan to deal with some imagined calamity. When Bush saw the conventional plan – make a threat assessment, distribute therapeutics, work toward a vaccine – he was furious.

“This is bullshit,” the president yelled. “We need a whole-of-society plan. What are you going to do about foreign borders? And travel? And commerce?”

Hey, if the president wants a plan, he’ll get a plan. “We want to use all instruments of national power to confront this threat,” Venkayya reports having told colleagues. “We were going to invent pandemic planning.” This was October 2005, the birth of the lockdown idea.

Two notable things:

1. The founding figure in this story is Rajeev Venkayya. I've noticed that the main dissenters within the medical profession are also from India. The Euro and American MDs are cheerfully participating in the holocaust.

Why did India give us both ends of this hellish mess? The founder and the protesters? Do they know more than the rest of us?

2. Most people suspected that Bush Junior was playing the village idiot with his endless stammering and malaprops. This proves it. He wasn't a clueless moron. He was IN CHARGE.

What's still missing in the story?

1. This doesn't account for 15 years of detailed planning and rehearsal, an epidemic of evil spreading across all governments and all Public Death Offices in the fucking world. How did the monsters recruit a million bureaucrats and presidents and governors and mayors and school boards and CEOs, with NO revelations or leaks even from people who retired or left in disgust? That's a whole lot of blackmail.

2. Tucker's account of the 2005 conversation between Venkayya and Bush is ambiguous. It sounds like Bush wanted to invent an IMAGINARY "pandemic", which is exactly what happened. But Venkayya seems to have been making new plans for a REAL pandemic, which we didn't need. We already knew how to deal with a REAL pandemic. This account may be based on Venkayya's self-serving remembrance.

= = = = =

I went back through the blog to see if anything relevant was showing up in public at that time. Here's one semi-connected item from 2006:

Bush Junior is having considerable success in India, where the people seem to like him. Not too surprising, when you look at what the Bush Sr - Clinton - Bush Jr economic policy has done for India. It's also not too surprising that Americans look askance at the same policy. Moving high-quality jobs from your own country to another country is bound to be appreciated by the recipient country and unappreciated by the victim country.

There won't be any solution to this problem as long as both political parties remain committed to 'free trade' and 'open borders', which means other nations are free to steal everything from us while we are too nice to punish them or ask for anything in return.

Might explain why India was working with Bush at the time.

Incidentally, the rest of that item is full of my own FUCKING STUPIDITY. 9/11 loaded me down with anti-Islam viruses, and I was nowhere near recovered from the illness. I was mustering up a few mental T-cells, but the illness continued until 2011 when I tossed the TV, the main source of reinfection,

Again and again, I DEEPLY AND HUMBLY APOLOGIZE to the world of Islam for joining this idiocy. I KNEW BETTER. Before 9/11, I was easily familiar with Persians and Arabs. They were a normal part of society in Oklahoma. I had NO REASON to hate people from that religion or ethnicity.

The unfortunate fact is that EMERGENCY PANICS work only too well, and need a long recovery time. As Madman Lincoln advised his successors, each panic only fools some of the people. 9/11 worked on me, and some of the color revolutions worked on me, but the "pandemic" shit didn't work.

I'd like to think that the 9/11 recovery left me with residual immunity against other panics, but the timeline disproves that hypothesis. I was definitely immune to the "global warming" panic in 1992, and immune to the "virus" panic in 2020. 9/11 and color revolutions happened in between those immunities. More likely the distinction is real knowledge and experience. I have lifelong deep experience with scientific matters. I have zero experience in military and political matters. So I'm hard to fool in science and easy to bamboozle in politics.

Collateral Global something or other. At first this looked like a meaningful step toward a Nuremberg Moot Trial.

We know there won't be a real Nuremberg for this holocaust, because there are no victorious allies. All the world except Tanzania joined the holocaust.

A Moot Court would put the crimes on the record in the same form as a real trial, so the proverbial Martians could see exactly how the world destroyed itself.

Unfortunately this Collateral Whatever is just more of the same writing by the same crowd of genuine skeptics. They've always been correct, and always courageous, but they've never truly DONE anything. One more Twitter account featuring the same people isn't a project.

I looked back at some of their previous efforts under the false flag of ACU. Those projects also dissolved. There was a Kickstart for an ambitious movie, and I contributed a fair amount, but its website has been inactive since November.

Putting it harshly: They're doing the same thing I'm doing. Trying to find and publish the truth. If they were using their organized bullypower to influence governments, then their work would be worth paying for. But they're not. They're just blogging.

  Collaborators
When countries or institutions fail, they like to blame an enemy or a competitor. Usually (not always) the blame is misplaced. Usually the country or institution deliberately sabotaged its own citizens and members, then framed a competitor or a randomly chosen alternative.

We've been blaming China for our loss of all business and skills and work. Nope. China didn't invade our factories and universities in a warlike way. China took advantage of our own INTENTIONAL SUICIDE, sponsored by the bank side of Deepstate. Our universities and research institutes invited Chinese students and opened up our secrets to them, knowing FULL FUCKING WELL that the students are spies. Our evil demonic corporations HATE AMERICANS and URGENTLY NEED TO KILL AMERICANS. China made it possible for our evil corporations to destroy the country they profit from.

Churches blame social media for their loss of members. Nope. Social media didn't burn or lockdown any churches. Social media took advantage of the INTENTIONAL SUICIDE of Christian churches.

For many decades Christian churches have offered nothing of value for most people, and have been GROTESQUELY AVERSIVE for heterosexual men. Why in the FUCK would a normal man want to sit in a room and worship a statue of a naked dude wearing a loincloth?

I had enough of that lifestyle in jail, where it WAS aggressive and invasive. I vowed that I'd never get near it again.

But the numbers have been declining fast before this year, and the number for 2020 fits on the existing curve. The two articles miss all the points and get nothing right.

Churches totally missed the opportunity to oppose this ACTUAL VIOLENT WORLDWIDE HOLOCAUST COMMITTED BY ACTUAL LITERAL PHYSICAL SATAN. Instead, they meekly obeyed all of Satan's lockdowns and distances and ballgags.

THIS WAS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE THAT YOU'RE WORTH A HAPPY HORSESHIT. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BIGGER OR MORE PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE CHANCE IN THE ENTIRE MISERABLE TIMELINE OF HUMAN HISTORY. YOU BLEW IT ALL TO FUCKING HELL.

  Goes beyond cowardice
Repooflican politicians are always sissyass pussyass chickenshit cowards. The Repoofs who write at The "Federalist" have gone beyond normal cowardice.

The "Federalist" was gingerly supporting Noem of South Dakota, the ONLY governor who was on the side of humanity and science from the start. Several others came over to the human side later, and I don't want to undervalue their courage, but Noem started out GUTSY and stayed GUTSY all the way.

Now the chickenshit pussies have turned AGAINST Noem because she didn't approve of a ban on trannies in athletics.

Let's compare the two actions.

1. Noem preserved normal life in the state she controls. Never shut down anything, never broke away from real science and real public health. THE ONLY GOVERNOR WHO REMAINED HUMAN AND SANE. THE ONLY ONE. She has saved thousands of lives in the state she controls. Nobody else in the country came close. This is a HUGELY CONSEQUENTIAL service to humanity and sanity and science, involving THOUSANDS OF SAVED LIVES and a MILLION lives that would otherwise have been ruined.

2. Noem didn't ban a few cheaters who might win some games or win some races that they don't deserve to win. Nobody will be killed, nobody will be harmed, and the cheaters will NOT even win in the end because everyone will know they cheated. Trannies don't fool anyone. This is a TOTALLY INCONSEQUENTIAL PROBLEM, and it DOESN'T MATTER if it's permitted or not. It's a tiny and self-extinguishing problem. If the state bans this inconsequential problem, the results will be far more consequential. The state will have to spend money and time fighting and LOSING massive lawsuits from the Feds, and fighting even more media pressure than Noem is getting now.

Which is more important to the pussyass chickenshits? Number 2. They WANT to see South Dakota fighting and losing lawsuits, and they WANT to see even more pressure from the media demons.

Even if you believe in obscure mythical entities like "laws" and "constitutions", Noem's action on Number 2 is perfectly consistent with the ALLEGED Repooflican position on "laws" and "constitutions". Governors aren't supposed to close down all the businesses and schools in a state, governors aren't supposed to bind and gag and imprison their citizens, and governors aren't supposed to ban cheating in school athletics. Noem is the only governor who scores 100% correct on all three.

The entire "conservative" movement should be uniting solidly behind some combination of Noem and DeSantis, instead of whoring after Roy Cohn's best boy Trump. You claim to oppose trannies, then you go all in for Roy's Boy Toy twice in a row. Jesus.

  China is stupid for once
Speaking of tenure....

China is smarter than us. China defends its own skills, while we ruin our own skills and ship them to China.

Here's a counterexample. An article on mass-production of scientific "research" focuses on 'paper mills' in China. Why are these mills so common?

Physicians in China are a particular target market because they typically need to publish research articles to gain promotions, but are so busy at hospitals that they might not have time to do the science, says Chen. Last August, the Beijing municipal health authority published a policy stipulating that an attending physician wanting to be promoted to deputy chief physician must have at least two first-author papers published in professional journals; three first-author papers are required to become a chief physician. These titles affect a physician’s salary and authority, as well as the surgeries they are allowed to perform.

That's just FUCKING STUPID. American-style FUCKING STUPID. Applying the stupid tenure system to doctors who simply CAN'T meet the requirements honestly.

It's bad enough for teachers and researchers, but it's deadly when permission to perform surgeries depends on publication. Teaching and research and managing and surgery are TOTALLY SEPARATE SKILLS. There's NO REASON IN FUCKING HELL to require one of these skills as a prerequisite for any of the others. If you want to get real work done, you need to let skilled workers perform their OWN BEST SKILLS.

  Exponential Sucker Filters
The incomparable Wolf has been tracking and CLEARLY describing two massively idiotic new forms of fraud. SPACs and NFTs.

Both serve to securitize the buzz surrounding a celebrity.

SPACs are companies sponsored by a celebrity, for the specific purpose of doing nothing. The SPAC pretends to offer the potential possibility that it might buy something. Supposedly it might acquire a startup, sparing the startup from going through the normal red tape of SEC approval. The SPAC doesn't promise to buy something, so it's not a 'future' or an 'option' in any meaningful way. It's just a money-laundering tool that might or might not be used for money-laundering. Fools rush in to get in on the ground floor of money-laundering.

NFTs would be prima facie illegal if we had laws. The 'non-fungible token' consists of a stolen artwork or image or something or other, sometimes with permission of the celebrity and sometimes not. The stolen piece of something or other is written into a PDF, perhaps contained in a thumb drive, and this forged copy is given a serial number that relates somehow to Bitcoin. Fools bid up the price of the forgery, eagerly seeking the privilege of "owning" a forgery with a fake signature.

Hmm. Come to think of it, this type of appeal is not new. Most of the scams and frauds described in the old cop shows of the '40s made the same pitch. "Why is this such a good deal? Because we're operating just outside the law. But you and I know how to get around such limitations, don't we? (wink wink)"

The sucker, believing that his participation is illegal, isn't going to call the cops when he ends up broke. If he believed that the scammer stole his money while engaged in normal business activity, he'd call the cops.

Edweek.org, which serves Lord Soros perfectly, seems to be noticing something a bit awry:

Educators Support Black Lives Matter, But Still Want Police in Schools

First paragraph is the usual FLAT ASSERTION.

The social justice movement sweeping the country is forcing the K-12 education system to take a hard look at how it treats students of color, why it has taken so long to recognize the need for change, and what approaches would work best to build a better system for all students.

History has only one direction. Lord Soros defines the direction and we obey.

But the survey found some DEVIATIONIST attitudes that need IMMEDIATE RE-EDUCATION.

80 percent of the respondents agreed PERFECTLY with Lord Soros, and 80 percent ALSO want to keep armed police in schools.

Defund the police now! But don't defund the police that keep ME safe! Only defund the police that keep poor people safe!

= = = = =

In fairness, though I shouldn't be fair to idiots, this demonstrates the value of EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION yet again. The teachers know by EXPERIENCE with School Resource Officers that cops are normal people doing a necessary job. They also "know" by THEORY that cops are VERMIN who must be EXTERMINATED. They haven't tried to reconcile the two types of knowledge because their minds have been trained to reject reality and adhere solely to THEORY in all realms of life.

THEORY KILLS. EXPERIENCE SURVIVES.

  You never need models.
Headline from Britain:

No planning was done for the enormous economic damage likely to be caused by a pandemic hitting the UK, senior civil servants have admitted.

SHIT.

You never need models or theories. All uses of models and theories are insane and criminal.

In this particular case we don't even need to ask the question. We know FOR FUCKING SURE that the FUCKING PURPOSE OF SHUTTING DOWN THE ECONOMY WAS TO SHUT DOWN THE ECONOMY.

It's a fucking TAUTOLOGY, like everything involving psychopaths. Psychopaths spend their entire time PLANNING and IMPLEMENTING mass murder. They don't need to PREDICT the results because they are CONSTANTLY SHAPING AND COMMANDING the results at every microsecond from birth to death. When you're in total control you don't need to predict.

Why is modeling unnecessary?

Let's say we want to measure the performance of this car:



We could get the factory specs for a Renault R8 and run some equations, but we don't need to do that. We can just hop in, crank it up, and run some real tests. Top speed in each gear, 0-60 time, stopping distance, max G's on skid pad, etc. Then we'll have real numbers, and we'll have some fun while acquiring them.

Now let's say we want to measure the performance of this car:



We don't need to model it. This car has been SHUT DOWN. We know without any equations or testing that all of its parameters will be ZERO.

The genocidal holocausters who drive the locomotive KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING. They want us to believe that the loco was really driven by a virus with a fancy name, but we know better.

THEORY KILLS. EXPERIENCE SURVIVES.

  Multi-layer idiocy
The satanic movement to defund the police is a logical step in a long process of disassembling civilization. Each step removes standards, leaving the nastiest and most violent psychopaths in total control at all levels.

A human society will always enforce rules. Police are professionally trained and disciplined. They know how to maintain order with minimal death. Amateurs, especially now in a desperate NOTHING TO LOSE situation, don't give a fuck. They shoot anything that moves.

Needless to say, this is the PURPOSE. Total war, total obliteration.

Here's a look at an earlier stage in the teardown, as I saw it in 2008:

= = = = = REPRINT FROM 2008:

The notion that civilization requires a certain degree of strictness is relatively undiscussed today. American commentators on both sides insist on touting Freedom, which is a delusion. It ain't Freedom that gives us civilization, and the main benefit of civilization is not Freedom.

I learned this by example from Professor Lysle Mason at Phillips in 1978, though he wasn't really trying to teach it. He was only trying to teach math courses like Diff Eq and Theory of Ring Algebras.

In '78, the anything-goes wildness of hippie times had developed (as per Lenin's plan) into a hard-line dialectic. The Alinsky rules for dialog were fully imposed in most college classes, as follows: Professors must allow free speech so that leftists can cuss down and shout down any opposition to leftist causes. The Alinsky rules are universal today. Watch any cable TV "discussion" program for instruction in the method.

I didn't understand this connection at the time. I just assumed that freedom worked this way. Didn't notice that it allowed only one idea to be voiced.

Prof Mason did things differently. In a year when most professors tried to look and act like Elvis, Mason looked and acted like a 19th-century German professor, with rimless glasses, short hair and three-piece suits. If ten-piece suits were available, Mason would have worn ten-piece suits. He required a similar level of decorum from his students. Males must wear coat and tie, females must wear dresses. (Not miniskirts, needless to say.) He called everyone by title: Mr, Miss, Mrs as appropriate, and required good grammar and relatively formal speech in discussions.

Well, what happened? Was discussion totally squashed by this unspeakably Victorian "tyranny"? Not at all. Ideas bloomed.

Admittedly the range of relevant ideas in Diff Eq is rather limited, but the effect was still visible. You could ask how this equation would be used by a painter, or ask why Leibniz and Newton were in competition. And the question could be discussed fully, without any interruptions by Leftist cussing; all sides could be aired without any shouts of HOW DARE YOU or McCARTHYISM or RACISM or SEXISM. In other classes, and in discussions out of class, you knew for sure that your thoughts and musings would be interrupted and chopped off by one of those key phrases.

I gradually noticed the difference. There was no tension in Prof Mason's class, no self-censorship to avoid triggering the standard Leftist phrases.

Alinsky uses "free" behavior to crush free thought. In Mason's world of "unfree" behavior, the mind could relax, freed from the fear of intellectual bullying.

= = = = = END REPRINT.

The big point:

LIFE IS ORDER. DEATH IS CHAOS.

All living things create order inside their boundaries. More complex living things like birds and bees and humans create layers of order in hives and cities, in order to support upper layers of higher complexity. The most complex order, like math and manufacturing, requires the strictest sub-order in its supporting layers. In 1978 the top layer was broken by Alinsky. Now we're breaking the last layer before total chaos, which is another name for TOTAL DEATH.

= = = = =

Some of the idiots supporting the defund movement have latched onto the perpetual lie that we have been defunding education, so we should defund police instead. Everyone who looks at the actual numbers has observed for a long time that our funding for schools has been rising steadily with unchanged results. Parkinson.

But aside from the numbers, these idiots aren't even up with the times. They haven't noticed that the same politicians who constantly raised school funding with zero results have now CANCELLED SCHOOL ENTIRELY.

Which is worse, decreasing funds because the number of children is decreasing, or ELIMINATING SCHOOL ALTOGETHER? These particular idiots are defending a fortress that they have just bombed.

  More recalibration
Via ZH, Greece is building a full border wall against Turkey, with EU approval and help.

This is the other side of Boris's new freedom to kill Britain.

It's clear now that Brexit accomplished two nicely balanced purposes.

1. Boris is free to kill his own people. EU had been constraining his murder.

2. EU is free to guard and protect borders like any sane nation or group of nations. Britain had been pulling EU toward borderless insanity.

I'm incurably stupid about Sorosian Revolutions. I wasted 3 years cheering Brexit and bashing EU, under the idiotic false assumption that Brexit was meant to restore sanity to Britain and let EU remain insane.

Backwards on both. Brexit has freed Britain to be insane, and freed EU to be somewhat more sane.
