As 2020 comes to a close, it’s time for us to do more than just shake our collective fists at China, while pretending our leaders share no blame in this self-inflicted catastrophe. It’s time to hold American officials’ feet to the fire, and demand that they are held responsible for continually, recklessly pursuing policies that have resulted in mass economic and societal ruin. China is not responsible for transforming the United States into a nation that more closely resembles Beijing as each day passes.Fine. We get it. Most of us got it a long time ago. It's the oldest game in Deepstate's book. From 1020 to 2020, Deepstate always blames Witches or Turks or Huns or Commies or AltRightChristers or China or Russia or Hippies or Muslims or Trumptards or "viruses" for its own infinitely evil actions. Deepstate always shapes and relabels its actions to "point" at the currently fashionable witch. If you want us to do something, you need to specify an action that will not be WORSE THAN FUTILE. Hold accountable? How? Hold their feet to the fire? How? Those questions were already meaningless before the current holocaust. Now they're vastly worse than meaningless. There's NO POSSIBLE WAY TO INFLUENCE A PSYCHOPATH. All we can do is avoid exciting the demons into a killing frenzy. Torches eventually burn out. In the more fortunate cases, the burners halt after they start burning their own. There's only one cure for a demon after it tastes blood and turns feral. Curing only a few will make things INFINITELY worse. The cure would have to be done all at once on all demons from top to bottom. Physically impossible.

Some of the native tribes of South Africa have the dreadful custom of abandoning their old men and women. They build a fence about them, place beside them a little fire and water with food, and leave them to perish of starvation.I don't know if the tribes of Africa did this, but the tribes of Europe and USA are unquestionably doing this. Exactly this. On the fucking dot. When the proverbial Martian archeologists untangle the dense layers of evil surrounding this holocaust, I suspect this is what they will find. The current rebranding of death, generally attributed to "virus", is a concentrated slaughter of old and "useless" people. Fence them in, leave them a little bit of food, and let them die. ("Useless" as defined by Soros and Bezos and Singer.) The earlier "global warming" genocide, not fully implemented, was heading in this direction JUST BEFORE the demons switched to the "virus" holocaust and turned on the gas. Greta commanded us to kill Granny. Boris immediately took steps to follow the command, first under the "climate" label, then much more firmly under the "virus" label. The rest of the "civilized" world moved in demonic unison. Now the tribes of Africa are the ONLY EXCEPTION to this dreadful custom.

FAST CHANGE IS THE SOLE PURPOSE. Fanatical cults rely on dizzying switches and spins of ideas and "facts".
Tyrants have always conflated permanent qualities with team requirements. Hitler claimed that he was purifying the world of non-Aryans, which is a permanent genetic category. But his category changed constantly to include nations that worked with him and exclude nations that opposed him. The official definition of Aryan included many non-Nordic groups and excluded many Nordic groups.
Similarly in modern times, the IDENTIFIES AS nonsense has prepared us for the form of this holocaust by confusing and conflating all genetic categories. Race and gender are "constructs", which means BRANDS or TEAMS. Now we're fighting a "virus" that only infects non-Aryans. Muzzles are meant to protect Aryans from non-Aryan cooties. Non-Aryans include some members of every real race and gender. Aryans are the D team, non-Aryans are the R team. Anyone who fits the R model as defined at the current microsecond is a superspreader.
Real viruses don't know anything about team labels. Real viruses ARE real genes in the strictest sense, and they only know about real genes. Real genetic categories, real ethnicity and gender, have different responses to a real virus. This is perfectly clear in the different real infection rates of Caucasians, Orientals, and Africans. We persist in trying to attribute these differences to political and ideological causes, as we have always done with other innate talents and tendencies. This misattribution leads to horribly and INTENTIONALLY WRONG decisions. Labels: Constants and Variables, malign misattribution, Trinity House
Again, what matters so critically in these passages is that the tyranny comes from the demands of the Masses, not from the central government. In Bradbury’s understanding, the government might very well be wicked and evil, but it would always follow the lead of the Masses and become their tool, rather than the other way around. Throughout his career, Bradbury spoke bravely and openly against “political correctness,” recognizing it for the evil and the tyranny it is. In 1953, it was against Joseph McCarthy. “Whether or not my ideas on censorship via the fire department will be old hat by this time next week, I dare not predict,” he wrote, but “when the wind is right, a faint odor of kerosene is exhaled from Senator McCarthy.”NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. Deepstate NEVER follows the masses. Deepstate tells the masses what to do and what to say and where to protest, then "follows" the protests that agree with Deepstate's desires. The "opposite" side of the protests, also generated by Deepstate, gives Deepstate a way to identify and exterminate dissidents and "terrorists". This is extremely well-known by everyone who has been part of the protests at any time from 1968 to now. It was also true of the "anti-slavery" protesters in 1860. McCarthy was NOT representing the masses. He was representing Roy Cohn, the deep dark heart of the blackmail branch of Deepstate. Trump was ALSO trained and created by the very same Roy Cohn with the very same flavor and purpose. If Bradbury didn't understand this, he was a fool who isn't worth following. More likely he did understand it and was part of the tyranny. If he had been an actual dissident, he couldn't have been published at all. The fact that he was published and got rich from his books, and his books were taught in schools, tells you ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. More subtly, some of Birzer's advice may also be flawed. The "alternative" media, if they're big enough to make a splash, are not alternative. They're just another way for Deepstate to identify "terrorists". They certainly don't do a better job of preserving privacy, as I verified with Parler. It's better to stick with the big names, use them sparingly and carefully, and avoid cellphones entirely. Small fish in big pond is just naturally harder to detect than big fish in small pond. = = = = = Footnote: McCarthy was dangerous, but NOT for the standard reasons. His lists exposed Soviet spies and "unfairly" tarnished "noble liberals". CIA already knew the real spies and knew how to work with them to avoid KGB eruptions, and KGB knew how to work with our real spies to avoid CIA eruptions. Real spies are playing an old and well-ordered game that preserves peace when it works properly. Exposing some of the real spies meant that KGB would have to send new spies who weren't already known, thus costing CIA extra effort. But that wasn't the serious problem. McCarthy was mainly dangerous because those "noble liberals" were Deepstate's FAKE Soviet agents who were obliterating American culture and civilization while blaming the destruction on Russia. That's why he needed to be discredited and Unpersoned. = = = = = Later thought: Generating fear and panic is universal among media on all "sides". The aggregators on the skeptic side often exaggerate the lockdowns, or make it sound like the lockdown is getting stricter when it's actually getting slightly looser. (Lockdowns should not exist AT ALL, but that doesn't justify misstating the changes.) Because the governments are trying to destroy truth and logic, skeptics should feel an obligation to get the facts RIGHT, not overstating or understating reality. Why doesn't anyone try to get clicks by making you FEEL HAPPY AND CONFIDENT? Other types of business do. Food sells because it tastes good, not because it makes you feel sick. Cars sell because they make you feel masterful while driving, not because they make you feel weak and endangered. American media in previous decades included some fear-makers, but mainly sold empathy and confidence and respect and real education. Where did these motives go? Surely the same method would work now. People haven't changed, and our appetite for empathy is vastly larger now because NOBODY is trying to satisfy it.

After months of technology-based communication enforced by COVID-19, many of us are missing a "live" human voice. But we're not the only ones -- a new study reveals that cows also prefer a face-to-face chat. The research, published in Frontiers in Psychology, discovers that cows are actually more relaxed when spoken to directly by a live human, rather than when listening to a recorded voice via a loudspeaker.Annoying: Malign misattribution. The poor little virus, if it even exists, didn't cause ANY of this shit. ALL of this shit was invented and enforced by demonic psychopaths running governments and "medical" holocaust chambers. The purpose of this shit is to give demonic pleasure to the psychopaths. With that out of the way, the basic finding is unsurprising to people who have been around dogs and cats. All cats and most dogs simply ignore electronic channels. Noise from a machine is irrelevant. A few dogs have the unusual ability to extrapolate the voice on a telephone or speaker to an actual human who isn't present. It's not clear what's missing. Maybe just the visible presence, or maybe a more complete sense signature of a live human involving smell and brain waves. Again the interesting question is why God created the facilities for communication between species that don't interact in nature. You can see a straightforward purpose in the multisensory channels between bees and flowers. Both sides get material benefits from the interaction. But cows, dogs, cats, and humans aren't normally found in the same place, and don't have any natural commensal or symbiotic connection. Later thought: Humans would be better off if we adopted the cat view of machines. Noise from a TV or radio machine is irrelevant, even if it sounds like a human and looks like a human.

Three major federal agencies have forged ahead with plans to host critical race theory training for their employees, teaching them to "co-resist" and check their white privilege, slides posted by researcher Christopher Rufo show. The events, scheduled at the State Department, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Veterans’ Administration (VA) in open defiance of a White House memo banning them, are going to deal with “racial equity,” “white fragility” and “microaggressions,” Rufo tweeted on Monday, publishing photos of the training slides he somehow obtained.Well of course. This is how Trump works. He issues "orders" that are carefully crafted to be non-orders, allowing the agencies to do what they want. Because the agencies are "opposing" Trump, their actions encourage the murderers and enrage the Deplorables. An enraged Deplorable is easier to identify and slaughter. For a few weeks after the 2017 inauguration, the bureaucrats walked carefully, more or less obeying Trump's "orders" in case he was serious. By March 2017 they figured out the trick or received reassurance from Trump. They simply resumed doing what they always do. Enriching Soros and Bezos and killing everyone else. RT, following the Fox "side" of the puppet script, helps to enrage the Deplorables about the "disloyal" agencies, which are really serving the same master as Trump. Calibrating: Looking back through March 2017 to re-locate the item about the "climate" bureaucrats, it's clear that I was slower and stupider than the bureaucrats. Even while I marked the end of bureaucratic obedience, I hadn't really figured out the whole trick. I was still holding out hope for some of Trump's cabinet appointments who seemed to be saying the right things. Trump fired them quickly and replaced them with reliable Deepstaters.
As BelTA reported earlier, over 1,000 Hasidic pilgrims gathered in the neutral zone between Belarus and Ukraine. They were traveling to the holy site in the city of Uman, Ukraine. The Novi Yarylovychi checkpoint has been closed until 27 September. The Jews remained at the Ukrainian border in the hope of reaching their destination, where they planned to celebrate the New Year according to the their national calendar.The incident isn't especially important or injurious to the Hasidim; it just shows clearly where they are welcome and where they are unwelcome. They're welcome in Soviet Belarus and unwelcome in "free" "democratic" Ukraine.
Lukashenko noted that a step-by-step analysis of events in the country had unearthed genuine plans and tactics of external aggressors. ... For the last ten years they have been scrupulously preparing for this zero hour. “In order to remove all the masks, let's name these players. At the level of global centers the number includes primarily the United States of America, to be exact, their network of foundations designed to support so-called democracy. American satellites – Poland, Lithuania, Czechia, and unfortunately our Ukraine – worked on the European continent.” Each country played its own role. Czechia has been a resource hub for a long time. Poland initially worked as an incubator of media channels (Belsat, Nexta, and other ones) and then as a platform for a government in exile. “Wounded by the Belarusian nuclear power plant construction project, Lithuania worked as a battering ram of Belarusian-European relations. Despite our unwavering support for the country (for instance, in matters of territorial integrity and other ones), Ukraine became an outpost of political provocations contrary to the spirit of our mutual relations. Thus, we clearly see subjects of this process, their conductors, and abettors. The organizers built the tactics in accordance with the classic American textbook on color revolutions by the notorious Gene Sharp. Today we can look back and analyze in detail all the stages of the scenario meant to destroy our country, which fortunately we have not allowed to come to fruition and will not allow.”Bravo, bravo, bravissimo. Open the blackmail. I haven't heard of Gene Sharp. Will have to look him up.... Briefly from Wikipedia, Sharp was a "pacifist" whose work was funded and supported by DARPA. Nuff said. Late in life his "foundation" was involved in spreading "democracy" and "peace" to the ex-Soviet zone:
Sharp's 1993 handbook From Dictatorship to Democracy[31] was first published in Burma, fourth edition in 2010. It has since been translated into at least 31 other languages.[32] It has served as a basis for the campaigns of Serbia's Otpor! (who were also directly trained by the Albert Einstein Institution), Georgia's Kmara, Ukraine's Pora, Kyrgyzstan's KelKel and Belarus' Zubr.So there's the specific connection. = = = = = Later sidenote: Sharp named his "foundation" after Einstein, who was allegedly also a "pacifist". We have the persistent myth that Einstein was a freethinking hippie. We forget that he was ALWAYS quite obviously and openly a Deepstate employee. Can't get much deeper than the A-bomb project. The big names in the project switched in unison to "regretting" the bomb at the same moment in 1946 when Deepstate started to recover from FDR's constraints and started to kill everyone again. NOW I SEE. I just now figured out why it was necessary to "regret" the bomb. In 1946 we started attributing all of Deepstate's evils to Russia. If we were proud of using the bomb to end Japan's unendable aggression, we couldn't bash Russia for developing its own deterrent against OUR unendable aggressions.

The coronavirus pandemic has already pounded states’ budgets and will leave no school district unharmed next fiscal year. But the coronavirus is having an extraordinary impact on districts’ costs. States that are heavily reliant on natural gas and oil revenue will be hit extra hard since oil prices have sunk New York state, which has been hit the hardest hit by the coronavirus, estimates a loss anywhere between $9 and $15 billion. Because the coronavirus hit so late in the fiscal year, Finally, pension costs are expected to spike next year after the markets, which they’re heavily invested in, crashed.The oil shock had nothing to do with the virus OR the lockdowns, but the author mixes and conflates causes. The stock crash was scheduled to happen just about now because it was necessary to defeat Trump. The crash was nominally triggered by the oil shock BEFORE the lockdowns. Insiders knew it and were selling out in the month before the crash, just as they do before every major crash. Most important: The virus didn't kill the economy. The Branded Flu, like generic unbranded flu, mainly kills people who are already on the verge of dying and aren't earning income. All previous epidemics somehow ended without lockdowns. We've survived millions of years by using our own immune systems, aided in recent centuries by REAL PUBLIC HEALTH. Previous epidemics incurred costs for increased hospital use in bad years, which was partly compensated by decreased hospital use the next year. That's all. Who killed the real economy? Presidents and governors. All of them participated to some extent, but the most vicious and savage murderers are the governors with the closest ties to the teacher union. The same monsters who previously declared that education was the cure for all ills suddenly decided that education is the illness. That's why the EdWeek writer has to join the Shared Lie. He has to preserve those governors.

Another thing we clearly got wrong is how large platforms would rise to dominate their markets—even though they never received the kind of bespoke regulated-monopoly partnership with governments that, generations before, the telephone companies had received. In most of today’s democracies, Google dominates search and Facebook dominates social media. In less-democratic nations, counterpart platforms—like Baidu and Weibo in China or VK in Russia—dominate their respective markets, but their relationships with the relevant governments are cozier, so their market-dominant status isn’t surprising.Nonsense. Google was a government contractor from the start. Long before the web, big tech companies were primarily government contractors. It started in 1946 and it was already obvious in 1960 when Ike talked about it. Second focus of idiocy:
Alternatively, as in this 2019 piece by Matt Schruers, the newly appointed president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, it’s sometimes called “the moderator’s dilemma,” where opposing incentives lead either to the suppression of viewpoint diversity or to websites “plagued with off-topic content, trolling, and abuse.” One reason we need to keep Section 230 safe—a reason I didn’t have the foresight to champion back in the 1990s—is that it’s crucial to fighting disinformation: It allows internet platforms to curate their content without necessarily increasing liability.Platforms have always curated content. It's called publishing. Publishers have always worked within the constraints of liability for real harm. Publishers didn't need Section 230. Moderating specialized forums has always been a hard job. Do you kick out the asshole who really knows his stuff but can't stop lording it over others? Or do you stay loose and keep the asshole's valuable knowledge while losing some newbies? Alphia Hart discussed it often in his 1950's anti-Hubbard magazine Aberree. Editors of radio hobbyist newsletters discussed it in the '30s. It's just part of the job. No easy solution. Third focus of idiocy:
I remain skeptical as to whether tactics like microtargeting and demographic profiling, whether used by political campaigns or foreign governments, are as effective at manipulating people as some critics fear, but I see nothing wrong with using legal and policy tools to stop malicious actors from trying to use these tools.Nothing new about profiling. It's called knowing your customers. Scammers have always done the best job of knowing their customers. The post office and Ma Bell always made efforts to stop scammers, though it was easier with mail. Also, in previous decades media tried to educate people about the techniques of scammers. Now that our entire "economy" is mobs and rackets, nobody wants to train the suckers. But Godwin isn't talking about scammers when he says MALICIOUS ACTORS. The keyword means only one thing. Surprise surprise surprise.
I still believe that, but here in 2020 I’m also haunted by the challenges we face everywhere in the world in this century, ranging from climate change to income inequality to the (not-unrelated) resurgence of populist xenophobia and even genocidal movements.Freedom is fine as long as the free people are 100% SorosThought. Any entity that is not 100% SorosThought is MALICIOUS_ACTOR MALIGN_BEHAVIOR and must be EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE.
The only genocidal movements are on your side, fuckhead. Greta is explicitly and joyfully genocidal.
Is Godwin just an idiot, or is he an AP? I'm inclined toward idiot. The centralizing nature of the web was perfectly clear in the '80s. NSA was the central node, and NSA developed the web for its own ends, not for "liberty". The other problems have been around long before the web, and didn't inspire "libertarians" to favor total censorship.

A different view in summer:
Continuing in '30s mode, I decided to tackle a pure Streamline Moderne, a THEORY-BASED style that has NOT held up over the years. Very few Modernes survive unless they're forcibly maintained by Historical Preservation laws.

Article in local paper features a museum exhibit on Mid-century Modern in Spokane. They detail one house that supposedly represents subtle functionality.
“In a way, it’s sort of Zen-like, with no unnecessary movements, no unnecessary notes if it were music – only what’s necessary to accomplish the program, whatever that happens to be. There’s a very simple beauty in that.”
Well, let's look at the featured house, 723 W. Sumner. It's in one of the best neighborhoods, and the landscaping is unquestionably beautiful. Google gets a nice view of the featured house (left) with its older "non-Zen-like" neighbor.
Which is more functional? Old non-Zen-like. It has a sloped roof and wide overhangs on all sides. Snow and rain can flow naturally off the roof; sun reaches the windows more in winter but less in summer; the foundation is protected from water (and thus somewhat protected from termites.)
The Zen-like modern house has a flat roof and no overhangs at all. It is highly vulnerable to snowload and leaks, it has no shelter from the sun, and its walls and foundation have no protection from water. That's not functional, it's just dumb.
Most of the dull ticky-tacky '50s houses in Spokane are more practical (i.e. less Zen-like) than this highly architected raw rectangle, which is why they have held up with very little maintenance. (Sidenote: The Google Street front view of the raw Zen-like rectangle was blocked by a maintenance truck parked in the driveway!... which is why I had to slide over to this side view. Probably unfair to draw conclusions from a single-day sample, but nevertheless it was there.)

The order will give renewed courage to patrons of architecture, who for a long time have been cowed by the architects’ mastery of high-sounding verbiage and gobbledygook to promote their inhuman work, so much of which these days looks like a snapshot taken of a huge shack in mid-collapse during an earthquake. Patrons, like the courtiers of the Emperor with no clothes, have hitherto been afraid to confront architects for fear of appearing ignorant and unsophisticated, but will no longer have to accept the dictation of architects. Examples will show that things can be done differently, that patrons do not have to accept what Thom Mayne, the architect responsible for some of the worst of recent buildings, called “demanding art-for-art’s-sake architecture that only other architects can appreciate.”Shack in mid-collapse is a BEAUTIFUL AND PRECISE description of modern design. Unfortunately Dalrymple doesn't understand the sole purpose of Trump. The people who write "orders" to be signed by Trump do understand their purpose. Everything Trump "does" is explicitly and cleverly designed to cause no actions by bureaucrats. The bureaucrats knew from the start that they could simply continue doing what they were doing under Obama. The only consequence of a Trump "order" is to shift the blame for bad results to "altright white neoNazis" who can then be rounded up and EXTERMINATED. Now that classical architecture is officially associated with the Trump brand, any patron who asks an architect for a non-modern building can be instantly shipped to the ovens. THIS IS NOT AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE. THERE ARE NO UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
