The warning is right there on the label.
Still thinking about the misuse of stats vs time graphs. How did this happen and why?

When you ask the right question, the answer is easy.

The right question: Cui bono stats?

Easy answer: Stats were invented by cheaters to cheat suckers.

Specifically, stat methods were developed by dissipated effete aristocratic English gamblers to gain an advantage in their useless nonproductive games of chance.

Stat methods are explicitly and solely meant to handle the turn of a card or the spin of a roulette wheel. Single independent time-free events.

When we learned stats in high school, this explicit warning was in the textbook.

Anyone who uses stats to describe TIME-DEPENDENT variables is cheating, using stats as those aristocratic criminals intended, to steal an unfair advantage over suckers who don't know the game is fixed.

The motto of all stats users is:

Never give a sucker a p=0.5 break.

  Police are the new commies
Unz.com is mostly a boiling stew of false flags. Occasionally one of the authors brings in some real and meaningful facts. This article gives details of a 'hacker dump' from communications between FBI and local police departments. Unsurprisingly and typically, the local cops are basically honest, trying to keep FBI's monstrosity at arms length.

I wrote a comment to that effect, then realized that I was missing the bigger point.

= = = = =

FBI's permanent job, ever since Lady Edgar founded it in 1913, is to commit crimes and create criminals. FBI is a gang. Other gangs proudly tag their own work. Honest branding. Unlike other gangs, FBI attributes its crimes to Current Official Enemy. "Germans" or "Russians" or "Hippies" or "Muslims" or "Antifa" or "Alt-right". Often it attributes to "both" "sides" at once.

Now put the two facts together.

The main current enemy is local police. All media on "both" "sides", all politicians R and D, all stock demons "bull" and "bear", plus the fake "antifa", plus dozens of monstrous local mayors and councils, are conspiring to destroy local police. Only ordinary people support the police.

The media constantly "report" "crimes" committed by local police, ALL of which are ordinary actions defending ordinary people against ordinary criminals. As with the "virus", the whole mess is just a rebrand. Nothing new or unusual is happening, only the brand is new.

Local police are doing the job that GOVERNMENT WAS MEANT TO DO. Fuck the shit about "rights" in the Declaration. That was the opening salvo of Deepstate's war on civilization. In fact governments were created to protect ordinary people from criminals and invaders.

Local police are the ONLY part of government that still accomplishes the real PURPOSE of government.

Deepstate can't allow this to continue, so FBI and the media are pulling their usual evil tricks, committing or rebranding actions as "crimes" by the local police, who are the real CURRENT ENEMY of Deepstate.

(Unlike the "virus" shit, this shit makes sense. This is normal shit, consistent and predictable shit since the founding of Deepstate.)

  Always graphs, never stats.
This is why I'm constantly hammering on the necessity for GRAPHS with a TIME axis, not time-free statistics.

A graph of deaths per million in Sweden over the last 40 years. The graph shows monthly totals, smoothed with a 3-month moving average.



When you see the CONTEXT across time, you can't be fooled by claims that this Branded Virus is something unique and new and unprecedented.

Sweden is one of the few countries that continued using REAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND REAL SCIENCE, so there are no confounding variables. This graph shows the effects of the virus itself, not the effects of the infinitely evil perpetual holocaust that was "required" "by" "the" "virus" in crazy countries.

In these 40 years there were about ten bad flu seasons. Roughly every fourth year, but not periodic. Among the ten bad seasons, four were about the same as this year, and four were notably worse than this one. This year is one of the 10 bad seasons, but it's not among the top 5.

If you weren't told in advance that this year was a Martian superpathogen, outside of the experience of all immune systems, you'd just assume that this virus is a normal virus.

And that's what it is, despite all the HOLOCAUSTAL branding. This virus is a virus. It's about the same as the COMMON cold, which is the most COMMON type of virus, not the most UNIQUE. We've been handling them internally for a billion years, and we've been handling them technically for many centuries. We know how to do it.

Reminding yet again that the BIG QUESTION hasn't been touched. Who gave the command to kill the world? How was the command distributed INSTANTLY to all the Public Death Officers? What was the threat behind the command? How did Sweden and Belarus resist the command, and why were they allowed to resist? Why haven't they been invaded and bombed down to bedrock? None of this shit makes sense, and none of it will permanently disappear until the blackmail is opened.

Next day, continuing on the basic question of stats vs graphs.

  Was this part of the plan?
Trump is pushing to reopen schools fully. Amazingly and encouragingly, the CDC has stopped wiggling and waffling, and is also pushing in the same direction with more clarity than before. Several R governors already reopened schools. D governors want to keep schools closed forever because Trump wants the opposite.

This was "ironic" from the start, but it's not so "ironic" for the students in D states, who are losing their whole future to satisfy a petulant infantile hissyfit by D governors.

All students have already lost half a year of education to satisfy the demonic murderous satanic needs of the psychopathic Public Death Officers.

Now there will be a permanent division of skills and education between R and D states. Students in R states will catch up fairly soon, while students in D states will continue to fall farther behind. Students with poor parents will fall behind MUCH faster and harder. Cities will be unable to justify supporting "schools" that don't actually have students. In many places the existing "laws" tie school funding directly to attendance.

Was this division part of the plan? None of this shit makes sense, even from a stupid partisan viewpoint.

  Touching ground
Yesterday I reviewed a rather silly "invention" that claimed to solve a real problem in a highly inefficient way. Canceling noise through an open window by wiggling the windowpane above the opening with countervibrations.

I suggested that you'd get better results with a modified windowscreen or louvers.

Money where mouth is!

I've been preaching REAL SCIENCE and BE YOUR OWN BEACON, but I haven't done any real science since this 2018 test of Hubbard's E-meter. I got an interesting and useful and SCARY result from the test. Hubbard's device, as originally designed, is an ACTIVE STIMULATOR of nerves, with a definite effect on stress and heartrate. It's a brainwashing tool, not just an 'auditor'.

Aside from needing to practice what I preach, I've been hungry for some real science. I needed a shot of Carver T-cells to fight the INFINITE OVERDOSE OF HYPERFAKE HOLOCAUSTAL GENOCIDAL BLASPHEMOUS DEMONIC DESTRUCTION OF ALL LOGIC AND FACTS AND KNOWLEDGE.

= = = = =

So here we go.



Totally unoriginal. A basic acoustics lab setup. Not likely to cause any surprises or knowledge, just fun.

The SLM is a real calibrated GenRad. The high-tech scaffolding is made from Tinkertoys and zipties. Looks shitty, but solid enough.

I used the computer to generate a steady 1k tone, set the amplitude so the SLM was reading about 50 dB without any obstructions. Then I tried a variety of things between the speaker and the SLM.

1. Piece of metal windowscreen: No attenuation.

2. Piece of cardboard: No attenuation.

3. Folded towel: No attenuation.

4. Nylon screen filter from the air conditioner: No attenuation.

5. Finally the item that I hoped would give some attenuation. A HEPA filter from a dust-cleaner. Surprise! The HEPA actually FOCUSES the sound, and the SLM reads about 15 dB HIGHER with the filter in front of the speaker.

So I got some real (and extremely literal) Carver after all, along with some fun.

Carver as always:
Look about you.
Take hold of the things that are here.
Talk to them.
Let them talk to you.

= = = = =

Later I added more headroom to the high-tech infrastructure so I could move the objects up and down. The 'focus' effect of the HEPA only occurs when it's sandwiched between the speaker and SLM with no gaps above or below. When the fat HEPA is in the middle with air on both sides, it gives a very slight attenuation.

  Cancel confusion? Not needed.
The fights over cancel culture are confused and overhyped. Most "fights" inside the world of celebrities have always been intentional publicity stunts. Fake scandals, fake feuds. Most of this cancel stuff obviously belongs to the old tradition. The "fights" go away after a while, leaving a few celebrities slightly less rich and slightly more famous. Inconsequential.

Non-celebrities are supposed to defend the "right" of free speech. We're supposed to defend the people that "our team" tells us to defend.

Why should we bother? I'd rather defend facts and good products regardless of team.

Two of this week's cancels are good examples in opposite directions.

First example: Some academic witch hunters are hunting Steven Pinker for "racism", which really means "we don't like him." Most people understand by now that "racism" is just a partisan slogan.

Should I defend Pinker? No. He's an idiot posing as an Expert. I'm glad to see his credentials downgraded.

I've talked about him twice.

= = = = = START REPRINT 1:

Steven Pinker, until now a pretty good popularizer of philosophy and cognition, has ventured into a realm that he doesn't understand.

His new book lists a bunch of "misused and confused words" and tells us to start using them CORRECTLY.

Nope. You're the confused one, Stevie boy. You've failed to understand how language works. And since language is a crucial part of cognition, you've LOST THE RIGHT to call yourself a cognitive SCIENTIST.

If an electrical engineer wrote a book about how cars CORRECTLY run on rabbit fur instead of gasoline, we'd stop calling him any kind of engineer.

If a surgeon wrote a book claiming that humans CORRECTLY have five heads, and advising readers to get four new heads installed for improved health, we'd stop calling him any kind of doctor.

Exactly the same level of error, same depth of stupidity.

Actual linguists have NEVER made this basic mistake. They have ALWAYS understood that meaning and sound and syntax change in various ways, and have spent 200 years carefully mapping HOW AND WHY these changes occur. Linguists sometimes adopt dubious theories about a specific HOW AND WHY, but they generally fix those dubious theories after more observation. They NEVER assume that one form or style is CORRECT. In other words, linguists are among the very few GENUINE SCIENTISTS in today's hopelessly fucked world.

The UK Telegraph article repeatedly describes Pinker as a "linguist", which is blasphemy. Misusing an occupational title is not a question of form or style or grammar; it's a legal distinction similar to fraud or trademark abuse, though probably not actionable.

= = = = = END REPRINT 1.

= = = = = START REPRINT 2:

....The context is Steven Pinker's recent claim that overall human violence is going down in the last century or so.

Seems false from many different angles. My angle:

In the 20th century mass-produced violence overwhelmed individually crafted violence, just as mass-produced stuff overwhelmed individually crafted stuff. Small-scale warlords were priced out of the market. As Germany, Russia, China, and America roared into various parts of the world with huge forces and huge bribes, the warlords found that their resources were consumed by the big powers, and found that the local appetite for violence was either totally suppressed or mercenarized by the big powers.

After the Cold War ended, some of those warlords resumed serious fighting, but others found an outlet for their power-hunger in illegal commerce of drugs and weapons. See IRA or Taliban for examples.

= = = = = END REPRINT 2.

Pinker is an idiot. He's also rich and well-connected. He makes lots of money by SELLING LIES. He doesn't DESERVE our defense. If he had been defending us, maybe I might feel differently. Pay for value. Equipoise. But he has been consistently arrogant and condescending, so I return the favor. Pay for value.

= = = = =

Second example, the other way around: The CEO of Goya Foods is being bashed because he attended a meeting with Trump. He has done a BEAUTIFUL JOB of defending himself, refusing to apologize and stating the facts. He's not an idiot. Should I defend him verbally? Well, I'm doing it right now, but my defense is not needed and won't be heard, so it doesn't matter.

Should I defend Goya by buying their products? No, because their products are inferior.

= = = = = START REPRINT 3:

When I switched back to vegy diet in 2010, I decided to use barley instead of rice as the 'base'. It's more nutritious and less starchy than rice. I've been buying Safeway's house brand Signature barley ever since, and the product has always been consistent.

Last month Safeway switched brands to Goya. I didn't think a commodity like barley could be different, but this is different. The grains are half the size, and they cook up with a lot more starch and less taste. Most of the grains are missing the structure of a barley grain.

With the house brand, all of the grains looked like barley when dry, and looked like fatter barley when cooked. With Goya, all of the grains are little unmarked white things when dry, and a few of them end up looking like barley when cooked.

I don't understand the difference. Maybe the Goya is milled longer, taking off more of the grain? At any rate it's less satisfying and possibly less nutritious.

= = = = = END REPRINT 3.

The shortage got worse after the lockdown holocaust started. I solved the problem by ordering barley in bulk from Nuts.com, which is a NON-PROPAGANDISTIC company and thus deserves my support, and also has good barley. No conflicts at all.

Simple answer: Truth and reality and good products are good. Propaganda on either "side" is bad, because both "sides" are run by Deepstate.

Come to think of it, this is really an OLD rule wrapped in a new package. Before companies started to use openly partisan propaganda, everyone understood that good products don't need advertising. A company that uses lots of advertising, whether the old-fashioned kind or the new political kind, generally doesn't have the best products.

  Why so much French?
In the last few years I've been focusing a lot on old French technology and the French history that goes with it. Especially heavy this week.

Why? Not from familiarity. I don't have any French ancestry, have never been to any French places, and have only vaguely known one Frenchman. I did own and love a Renault for a while, but I owned a lot more VWs.

Mostly it's just drunk streetlight. The old French books on technology have MUCH better pictures! The diagrams are clear, and the books often have lively and dramatic illustrations of the history and use of the tech. British and American and German books are vastly inferior in this area.

But there's something outside the visual field of the streetlight. French technology, including the Renault I owned, has a humanistic flavor that's hard to define. The controls are designed to use human skills and express human language and emotions.

= = = = =

Semirelevant sidenote: Old French tech books generally have the table of contents at the back, along with the plates and figures. So I'm accustomed to starting at the back in those PDFs. The first thing you see is the checkout slip.

Old books found in the Old Stacks of college libraries weren't checked out often. Back when I was exploring those Old Stacks physically, I was often the first checkout for a book that had been there several decades.

Here's an extreme case:



This book was checked out just once, in May 1880.

  Sometimes I wonder
Following the old Shared Lie principle, I remain suspicious of people "on the right side" who seem to have lots of followers and no censorship. It's always possible that Deepstate is ignoring such people; Deepstate has finite resources. But it's also possible, and too often has been true, that such people are working for Deepstate. O'Keefe comes to mind.

Berenson is a STRONG voice on the real science side of the "virus" shit, but sometimes he falls into classic Shared Lie territory, pushing a false opposite.

Today he asks:

Would you take masks/compulsory testing/armies of contact tracers/automated phone tracking/compulsory or near-compulsory use of a rushed vaccine? Don’t kid yourself, that’s where we’re headed.

JESUS H CHRIST! I'd take the vaccine EVERY FUCKING TIME.

EVEN BEFORE ALL OF THIS SHIT STARTED, I'd happily take the vaccine.

Vaccines are part** of REAL PUBLIC HEALTH. Vaccines WORK. They don't always work effectively on flu-type viruses, but in general they WORK.

As an alternative to PERPETUAL ENDLESS HUMILIATION AND PURE UNVARNISHED HELL BEYOND HELL BEYOND HELL, I'd pay all of my life savings to take an untested vaccine NOW if it would ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY PERMANENTLY GUARANTEE getting out of Hell and staying out.

JESUS. WHO WOULDN'T? WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ANTIVAXERS?

= = = = =

** Historical sidenote: In fact vaccines have been around a LOT longer than we generally believe. I looked it up recently. Jenner brought the process to England, and improved the process so it could be applied reliably. But the basic method had been used in Turkey and the Caucasus for hundreds of years before Jenner found it and imported it.

Via ZH, it looks like Serbia has gone through its NOW I SEE moment on the "virus" shit.

Young Serbs quickly took the streets on Tuesday after Vucic announced Belgrade would be placed under a new order restricting movement in the region for three days to mitigate the spread of the second coronavirus wave. Many were infuriated by the re-implementation of the lockdown after coming out of some of the strictest ones in Europe to allow the general election last week.

The only "second wave" is the "second wave" of genocide. And there will be a third wave, fourth wave, nth wave of genocide, until everyone except Soros and Bezos is dead.

  The "racism" backoff isn't just in Britain
Last week Spiked UK reported that British corporations had suddenly stepped back from "racism" wokeness after realizing that BLM is pro-Palestine.

The same thing seems to be happening here. About two weeks ago all the Woke corporations were SLAMMING US IN THE FACE simultaneously with the "virus" shit PLUS the "racism" shit. I quoted the banner on USBank, which said:

Our commitment to community: As we work to address racial and economic inequities, we’re continuing to support customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This morning the banner says:

Affected by the coronavirus pandemic? Read about our COVID-19 financial relief efforts, including mortgage assistance and auto loan assistance programs.

"Racism" shit is gone. I'm pretty sure this is the same verbiage they used before "racism" shit was the most fashionable problem.

"Racial and economic inequities" have been miraculously fixed! No longer a problem!

  The opposite of 'patient machines'
Headline at Eurekalert:

Engineering: Reducing noise transmitted through an open window

Hmm. Could be interesting. Let's read it.

The goal is admirable:

The authors hope that it could be used to reduce noise levels entering through an open window, while keeping homes ventilated, and could improve the health of people living in cities.

Especially important now that we've temporarily and fakely REdiscovered the previously well-known value of fresh air. We won't remember the REdiscovery because we don't learn anything, but the fact remains whether we remember it or not.

How do they propose to achieve the goal?

The device, assembled by Bhan Lam and colleagues, consists of 24 loudspeakers (each 4.5 cm in diameter), fixed in a grid pattern to bars attached to the inside of a window and one sensor located outside the window. If the sensor detects noise outside the building, the loudspeakers emit "anti-noise" at the same frequency as the detected noise but with inverted sound waves. This "anti-noise" cancels out the detected noise and reduces the volume of noise pollution entering the room, even when the window is open.

And how much benefit do you get from this massive and wildly expensive and energy-consuming megasystem?

The authors observed up to a 10 decibel noise reduction for sounds with a frequency above 300Hz, such as traffic and train noises.

10 dB isn't much. It's a barely noticeable difference in most situations.

More importantly, perceptual noise reduction is only partly correlated with measured dB. Annoyance comes from several interweaving factors: The meaning of the noise (talk vs buzz, doorknock vs heating duct thump); sudden explosive sounds vs constant rumbles; and the predictability or periodicity of the pattern when not constant.

A simple reduction in level for a specified frequency range can be achieved MUCH more cheaply and 'patiently' by redesigning the screen or adding louvered shutters. Some inconclusive musings on the subject.

  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond parody
Well, all of modern shit went way beyond parody a long time ago, so each new step is infinitely beyond beyond etc etc....

Even so, this is a new step. Mad Bomber Inslee has changed the "state" seal of the "State" of Washington, putting a suicide mask on the head of George Washington.

As I've noted before, the 1776 revolutionaries weren't really fighting a tyrant. King George III was fairly decent by the standards of that time, and would have been a magnificent pillar of freedom and light by today's standards.

George III did NOT require the colonists to strangle themselves for his sexual pleasure. Only a modern superpsychopath like Inslee forces citizens to strangle themselves for the monarch's sexual pleasure.

Later: No, that's not historically true. There were plenty of similar psychopathic maniacs among the inbred incestuous imbecilic monarchs, especially in the 1500s. Elizabeth 1, Peter of Russia, Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. But by the late 1700s most monarchs were sane. Specifically, George III and Louis XVI were sane and decent. So the revolutions of 1776 and 1793 were unnecessary and destructive.

  Speaking of France
I was just discussing sane post-revolution France, and wondering if sanity was still there. Now France has moved incrementally back toward sanity, but WAY too carefully and reluctantly. I won't add France to the turnaround map. Only governments that have REJECTED THE DEATH CULT deserve celebration.

Via France24:

My aim is to prepare France for a possible second wave while preserving our daily life, our economic and social life," new Prime Minister Jean Castex said in an interview on RTL television.

"But we're not going to impose a lockdown like the one we did last March, because we've learned... that the economic and human consequences from a total lockdown are disastrous," he said.

He's wearing a suicide mask while giving the speech. He's still operating under all the genocidal assumptions and premises of the holocaustal Public Death Cult. He hasn't admitted that the lockdowns were TOTALLY UNRELATED to any virus (if there is in fact a virus at all). He hasn't started to prosecute the Public Death Officers who ran the holocaust.

You shouldn't have needed to "learn" that killing everyone would kill everyone. You should have seen from the start that killing everyone would kill everyone. This isn't science. It's hardly even logic. It's supertautology.

After governments have executed all the Public Death Officers, we'll start to get somewhere. Until then we're in Hell with no way out.

  Charge of the light Breguet
While trying to find a Breguet cryptograph I bumped into this device. This one machine connects up FOUR of my 'patient machine' sets. An amazingly cross-linked bridge, with a lesson for moderns. The important thing about this device is its HUMAN PURPOSE, not its mechanism.

Tracing the links:

Chappe's semaphore came first.

The 1793 revolutionaries picked up Chappe's visual system and built towers all across France. After the revolution morphed into Napoleon's neocon empire, the system expanded even more.

Around 1832 other countries started to experiment with electrical telegraphs of various forms. France didn't really need to get ahead of this trend, because the Chappe system was faster than the early electrics, and was already built and functioning smoothly. By 1845 the electrical systems had matured to the point where a switch was worth the trouble.

Wheatstone and Cooke offered to build a version of their system, but France rejected it. Wheatstone's setup was fast but delicate:



and above all it was English.

The Breguet dial telegraph was French, and it was especially suitable for unskilled operators.



Breguet was unsurprisingly clock-like. Turning the sender dial to the next character clicked a contactor back and forth, sending pulses to the receiver. When the receiver was pulsed, a solenoid opened an escapement and allowed the dial to turn forward by one letter.

France used Breguet for its railroads, which weren't already equipped with a functional signaling system and trained operators. The Breguet dial didn't require new learning.

To replace the Chappe visual system for their State Telegraph, France made a unique move.



They developed an electrical version of the mechanical Chappe system, based internally on the same principle as the Breguet dial.



The mechanical Chappe had two movable wings on a movable center wing. All three rotated to form 256 possible codes. As the system matured, most of those codes were used efficiently for phrases and words, so the sending was much faster than letter-by-letter.

From Lardner's 1855 book:

When the establishment of lines of electric telegraphs was proposed in France, the old aerial telegraph was, and had been for more than half a century, in operation, and formed a department in the public administration of considerable importance, employing an extensive body of agents, dispersed throughout the country, most of whom were specially instructed and qualified for the business. The commission appointed by the government required that the electro-telegraphic instruments should exhibit the same signals as had been already used in the case of the former telegraph.

This setup is generally known as the Foy-Breguet system.

The sender has two cranks just like Chappe, and the receiver is a miniature 'video display' of two wings just like Chappe.



You can see how the crank moved the contactor back and forth with a cam. The contactor looked like an SPDT switch, but it was actually a two-way SPST. Each side sent a single pulse through the long lines to the receiver, so one revolution sent 8 pulses.

In action, the operator turned the cranks to form each letter, always clockwise. The operator could see the result on her own receiver, or receive signals from other stations.



'Video' displays were common in railroad signal systems, like the splendid Train Describer used in both US and UK. This was a combination of Breguet sender and Wheatstonish display, somewhat like the Foy.

= = = = =

One of the British books on telegraphy has an intriguing picture of an all-in-one Foy-Breguet device, with no accompanying description.



This has the receiver screen, plus two separate pairs of senders, plus a single crank (probably a receive/send/both switch), plus a mysterious snowglobe and two whistles on top! I'll keep watching for more info on this one. It's pure steampunk.

= = = = =

Above all, the Foy-Breguet system PRESERVED SKILL-ESTATE. Foy RE-USED the skills acquired by the Chappe semaphore operators, so they wouldn't be obsolesced by the switch to electricity.

The cranks were similar to the Chappe cranks, and even the little mini-wings were similar to the real wings.



Since they were basically clock hands, they didn't need to be balanced levers pivoted at the center; but they were built that way, with a black 'visible' part and a white 'counterweight' part.

= = = = =

France learned a major lesson from the 1793 revolution. After the EXTREME dose of Innovative Disruption in every aspect of life, the French became the world's best PRESERVERS. They tried to maintain everyday objects and skills instead of discarding them. The tendency was still strong in the 1970s; I don't know if it's still strong now. Unions are certainly strong.

Wars and revolutions and depressions often induce this healthy immune response. America was in skill-preservation mode after the 1930s depression, thanks to FDR's emphasis on work and training and unions. We remained in skill-estate mode until the '70s when Nixon, then Reagan, then Clinton, cumulatively removed ALL the supporting framework and shipped ALL skills overseas.

There's already some indication that the current holocaust is inducing a healthy PRESERVATION impulse for money. Wolfstreet noted a decrease in credit card usage and increase in savings. Bloomberg sees "a new austerity, expressed through pantry stockpiling and delayed big-ticket purchases."

We also need to follow the French model of frugality in skills and knowledge. The long-term goal of globalism is to eliminate all skills and knowledge, and the current holocaust is an EXTREME FINAL step in this process. Jobs requiring skill are "non-essential", and all knowledge of science and logic and truth has been precisely and diametrically inverted and garbled and deleted.

We've got a partial start through Emerson justice. Public schools and major colleges have voluntarily committed suicide "because virus", thus eliminating the main purveyors of ANTI-SKILL education. The field is open for smart operators like DeVry. Will they step up and take advantage?

Probably not. We don't have FDR or Harding at the top to break the litigation and regulation obstacles. Instead we have Trump, Deepstate's most loyal and perfect servant. FDR locked down the banks to enrich the real economy. Trump locked down the real economy to enrich the banks.

The overriding perpetual purpose of the 'enlightenment', from 1776 to 1793 to now, is to obliterate PURPOSE from life. The focus on "rights" instead of duties started the breakdown. The focus on finance and abstraction instead of industry finished it.

Natural Law in its varied forms, whether the Sharia rules or the Soviet Constitution or FDR's four freedoms, always starts with PURPOSE AND WORK. Every aspect of the economy and culture is shaped to preserve PURPOSE for ordinary people. The 'enlightenment' starts with "rights" and "freedom", which means that psychopaths are free to dominate culture and economy, free to eliminate all PURPOSE from ordinary workers and families. The sole PURPOSE of a psychopath is to obliterate PURPOSE.


LIFE IS PURPOSE.

Literary footnote: The Lardner book is OUTSTANDING. Bear in mind that he was writing in 1855, when the telegraph and railroads were pretty much the only modern tech. The telephone and phonograph were 20 years in the future, and everything else at least 40 years away. He explains both the tech side and the business side with absolute clarity and completeness. Several times I've tried without luck to figure out how something was supposed to work, and Lardner clarified it totally.

Berenson cites a solid peer-reviewed 2015 study of mask usage IN HOSPITALS, where infections are strong.

The study finds that those wearing masks were 6 times as likely to have flu-like illnesses as those in the control group after 4 weeks.

Verifies the LOGICAL REAL SCIENCE FACT that recirculating your own microbes defeats the whole point of having an immune system.

Also verifies the UNQUESTIONABLE FACT that the psychopaths who order us to wear suicide masks are trying to kill us. The Public Death Officers do actually know how immunity works, and before the March 2020 switchover they were using their knowledge properly. Now they're using their knowledge to kill us.

  The Epstein Equation
The Epstein mess reminds us with blazing clarity that power is always about blackmail, and power is always about sex.

Sex + Blackmail = Power

We sometimes forget these universal and basic truths.

The converse is NOT universally true. Feminists screech that sex is about power. This is only SOMETIMES true. For non-psychopaths, sex is often motivated by sympathy and affection.

The lockdowns and suicide masks are EXTREME demonstrations of the Epstein rule. Lockdowns have NO connection with any virus (if in fact there is a virus at all) as sane people have been relentlessly and futilely pointing out since the start of this holocaust. Lockdowns are solely a form of humiliation and degradation toward Deplorables, which is how psychopaths get their rocks off.

The most extreme psychopaths (Inslee, Newsom, etc) weren't satisfied with invisible humiliation. Psychopaths are NEVER satisfied. These maximally evil hypermonsters have now added a ballgag fetish. They must SEE everyone struggling under a yoke of strangulation. Improved orgasm for a while, until the next fetish is called for.

Headline at PNAS science aggregator:

People who are likely to dismiss journalism as “fake news” tend to believe the world is predictable

Before 2020, "believing the world is predictable" used to be called SCIENCE.

Now "science", better known as Room 101, requires you to have no preconceptions or logic or memory or knowledge or mind or senses or brain or life. You must simply be a passive inanimate grain of sand, ready at all times to be pushed in all directions at once by Lord Soros and Lord Bezos and Lord Inslee.

Attempting to tinfoil the remaining adherents of REAL SCIENCE.

  Somewhat mixed feelings
Influencer Julie Kelly, who is basically a standard Repooflican but has firmly taken the side of truth in the "virus" shit, wrote this nice one-liner:

Harvard is DeVry with a lower ROI.

She was talking about the report that Harvard will be entirely online next year, but will still charge $50K tuition.

Classic mixed feelings, Mother-in-law Cadillac Cliff.

On one hand, I'm HAPPY to see a standard Repooflican APPRECIATING the qualities of Experiential Education. Most of them hate training in all forms, and believe that education should consist of nothing but memorizing the Speeches Of Cicero in Latin. They have been slamming Common Core specifically because CC is experience-oriented.

Still on the same hand, I'm glad to see a specific mention of DeVry, where I taught for a few years. DeVry is sleazy in some ways, but it has always placed EXPERIENCE BEFORE THEORY.

On the other hand, the one-liner gets the math backwards. In fact the Return On Investment for Harvard is INFINITE, not zero.

Most students don't actually pay the $50K. For those who do pay, the $50K is a meaningless proportion of their income. So the investment is effectively zero, and the investment in effort is also effectively zero.

The return is MASSIVE, but it's not a Return On Investment. It's a Return On Inheritance, a return on BEING BORN to the correct Tribe. If you belong to The Tribe, you go to Harvard or Yale for a piece of paper that verifies your Tribal Membership. The piece of paper has nothing to do with the money your parents supposedly paid, which they didn't really pay anyway, and it has nothing to do with the effort you supposedly put into learning, which you didn't really put anyway.

Now that Harvard is all online, EVERYONE CAN SEE that the actual effort is zero.

This is another of those wonderful NOW I SEE moments.

  Reprint from last year
= = = = = = START REPRINT:

In my IMPORTANT piece on Deepstate before Wilson, I sideswiped a connection that hadn't appeared before. Thinking more about the connection, it should have been obvious!



I've been occasionally trying to trace the prehistory of modern Deepstate. Wilson started its current form; FDR subdued it; Truman allowed it to resume full strength. Since 1946, pure viral growth.

I couldn't see an earlier form. Here it is. Sherburne Hopkins.

Sherburne Gillette Hopkins was an American lawyer and influential lobbyist in Washington DC. His clients included oil tycoon Henry Clay Pierce, financier and "father of trusts" Charles Ranlett Flint, Guatemalan President Manuel Estrada Cabrera, and Mexican President Francisco I. Madero among others. He specialized in connecting American finance with Latin American revolutionaries.

And here's the Deepstate Tripod.

(1) Banking and monopolistic finance: [Plus big data!]

One of their largest clients was the "King of Trusts," Charles Ranlett Flint. In 1892, Flint, also from an old Massachusetts family, had merged several rubber companies to form the monopolistic conglomerate United States Rubber Company. His principal lawyer for this merger was Thomas Snell Hopkins. In another famous merger, Flint organized the main bubblegum manufacturers into American Chicle Company in 1899. In 1911, Flint founded the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which later became IBM.

(2) Intel agencies:

Hopkins' involvement in the Nicaraguan change of government was critical. He represented his clients and acted on behalf of the U.S. government, especially Philander Knox who had become Secretary of State in 1909. Hopkins also supported Knox's efforts to properly finance and equip the rebel forces. Guatemalan President and another puppet of the United Fruit Company, Manuel Estrada Cabrera, received funds from the United States, mainly in the form of loans.

"I knew exactly what was going to happen. I knew that nothing could save Zelaya," Hopkins boasted to Senator Smith in 1912. Upon the question of whether Hopkins' intimate information about Nicaragua's troubles came from sources in the government, he replied: "I should not say directly from our Government, Senator. I knew what was going to happen before our Government did, and stopped Zelaya's loan from going through. I am also free to say that I received a great many hints that things were going to happen. I knew the sentiment in the State Department and elsewhere."

(3) Leftist activists:

Clearly, there were only three areas in which work was required: Procuring loans to finance arms and ammunition purchases; building an organization for the revolutionaries that procured and shipped arms and ammunition; and creating political support in the United States for the rebellion. Showing how much his connections were worth, Hopkins successfully interceded with his friend, Secretary of State Philander Knox, to allow munitions to pass unchallenged from El Paso to Ciudad Juárez to aid revolutionaries.

All elements were in place just before Wilson. So Wilson didn't invent Deepstate, he grabbed the ball from Hopkins.

PLUS BIG DATA is the sideswipe, the connection I missed. Charles Ranlett Flint, the corporate and finance leg of Deepstate, created IBM.

From IBM's own history page:

Flint brought together in 1907 the principals of three companies -- the International Time Recording Company of Endicott, N.Y.; the Computing Scale Company of America, of Dayton, Ohio; and the Tabulating Machine Company of Washington, D.C. -- to propose a merger. Talks and detailed planning among the parties continued until June 6, 1911, when the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R) was incorporated as a holding company controlling the three separate firms. Flint remained a member of C-T-R's board of directors until his retirement in 1930.

Here's the part I should have noticed before: The Tabulating Machine Company was Hollerith's own company. Hollerith initially developed his sorter and counter for the Census Bureau.

Should I count Big Data as a separate fourth leg of the Deepstate stool? No. Our modern hand-wringing about Google and Facebook doing subcontract work for CIA and NSA is Fake Surprise as usual. Like "global warming" and all other officially assigned hand-wrings, Big Data was a government project from the start. Big Data is an intrinsic PART of the intel leg.

From the start? Yes. Since Zero AD on the fucking dot. Remember why Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem, and remember who was running Jesus.

There's one important difference on the personal level. Hollerith himself was NOT a universe-conquering monster like Caesar and Hopkins and Byrnes and Zuckerberg and Bezos and Musk. He was NOT an Insatiable.

  Too many details as usual
Trying to listen to Whitney Webb's latest podcast on the Maxwells and Epsteins. As always she piles up details on top of details on top of details without stopping to ask or analyze. It's wonderful to have a hard-working researcher finding and publishing these details, but the result would be more usable with some serious editing.

One big question pops up. This has undoubtedly been asked and answered before. In the '80s, Maxwell was serving Mossad by selling the PROMIS database software to various companies and countries. PROMIS had a trapdoor that sent info to Mossad.

Well, most of these countries and companies had excellent IT experts. Sandia Labs at Los Alamos CERTAINLY had plenty of code experts who were focused solely on intel and spying. That's part of Sandia's job.

Maybe Guatemala didn't have its own IT dudes at that time, but all Central American regimes have been tied to US Deepstate and US Big Data since 1890. See next item.

So the trapdoor wasn't really hidden. The users KNEW that they were sending info to Israel, and could manipulate the info accordingly. An ancient and well-practiced skill in intel circles.

INSIDE the world of the Deepstates there aren't any innocent victims. Everyone is playing the same game, trying to kill the people OUTSIDE of the Deepstates.

Always the same, from Chappe's semaphore to the electric telegraph to the web to HFT. Stock swindlers are the main users of fast communication.

Here's a much less famous usage that surprised me:

Nothing is more frequent in the United States than electric medical consultations. A patient in or near a country village desires to consult a leading medical practitioner in a chief city, such as New York or Philadelphia, at four or five hundred miles distance. With the aid of the local apothecary, or without it, he draws up a short statement of his case, sends it along the wires, and in an hour or two receives the advice he seeks, and a prescription.

This was supposedly common!

  New horizons in pseudoscience
Along with breaking all other previously unbreakable rules and laws, we've broken new ground in pseudoscience.

All the old characteristics of pseudoscience fit perfectly with the new pseudoscience of Public Death.

The old definitions DIDN'T include this one:

When "science" changes at a political boundary, it's pseudoscience.

Two of the classic examples of pseudoscience were based on political boundaries, but the rule wasn't given as such. Briefly in the early 1800s, Indiana ruled that Pi = 3.0 because the Old Testament said so. In the 1930s Lysenko was official science in Russia, while Darwin was official science elsewhere. The two examples are inconsistent because Indiana was wrong and Lysenko was right; but that doesn't change the basic point. The one state that rejected Pi was rejecting Pi for political reasons, not scientific reasons. The countries that rejected epigenetics were rejecting it for political reasons, not scientific reasons.

The new politically based rule is much more serious and deadly. In Wash and Ore and Calif we must wear suicide masks "because science". In Idaho and Montana and Nevada people can live without suicide masks because real science.

Real science doesn't change when new politicians are "elected". Real science doesn't change when you cross a border. Real viruses are the same everywhere. Real immunity is the same everywhere.

REALITY IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

Former real public health rules DID make use of borders, in an attempt to control the initial spread of a new epidemic. Immigrants and tourists from a known hot spot were carefully inspected and turned back if infected. Needless to say, we've completely reversed this rule as well. When this alleged "virus" was allegedly spreading "from China", WHO and CDC forced countries and states to AVOID the normal practice of halting travelers from China.

The new set of rules is perfectly evil in all directions. Create harmful borders and break helpful borders.

  Sophisticated essay
Recently someone has found and uploaded a batch of previously unseen episodes of Mike Barnett aka Follow That Man aka Man Against Crime. I enjoy the series, so I've been eagerly watching these newly found episodes before bedtime.

In these 1952 episodes Barnett is the same actor playing the same character, but the other actors are an entirely unfamilar group, and the scripts have a different flavor from the existing episodes.

This one about a reported UFO is a remarkably sophisticated essay on Experts vs Non-Experts, credentialism, and skeptics vs useful idiots vs paid trolls. All types are represented, and much of the dialog is heard verbatim in every modern Facebook discussion.



The character who sees the UFO first is a schoolteacher volunteering in the Ground Observer Corps. He handles the trolls EXACTLY RIGHT. No arrogance, no condescension, admits his own doubts, invites them to try and see it for themselves.

At the end Barnett has exposed most of the UFO action as a hoax, but reminds us that the original sighting was verified by radar and remains unexplained. Sophisticated!

The only completely UNfamiliar part, as with this radio show from the same era, is the role of a "Newspaper Man". The "Newspaper Man" is realistic and cynical, willing to sensationalize things for profit, but unwilling to spread harmful rumors that will damage reputations or cause unneeded deaths.

Nobody performs this task in current society. We do have things called "Newspapers", but their job is the exact opposite. I don't know if the "Newspaper Man" really existed back then, or if the character is pure science fiction like the fake/unfake alien.

= = = = =

The sophistication led me to some probably OVERsophisticated thinking. Why would ALL the Public Death Officers and ALL the doctors in the world agree to ruin their own authority as Experts forever? Before the "racism" riots, a handful of fools were still believing what the PDOs and MDs said about this alleged "virus". Now everyone knows that everything said by PDOs and doctors is not just false but genocidally holocaustally false. It's hard to imagine a blackmail threat strong enough to influence ALL of these experts to destroy their own authority. Kill a few million people? Sure. Easy. No persuasion needed. Delete your own credentials? Not so easy.

Given the basic fact that Deepstate always plans and intends all consequences, this ruination of credentials must have been part of the purpose, along with ruining all the people and governments and economies and cultures in the world.

Was there a specific reason for this total destruction of expertise? Was there a real decision by PDOs and doctors on some unrelated subject, perhaps a trivial subject, that needed to be pre-emptively canceled? A decision about a pharmaceutical product that would change its Share Value by a few cents to cover a Soros short? Or is the destruction of authority just part of Soros's bucket list?

= = = = =

Later, after sleep and walk, a much less sophisticated and more VALID thought. Whether the PDOs and Doctors of Murder intended to crash their own credentials is not the proper point. The proper point is that THESE CREDENTIALS HAVE BEEN FRAUDULENT FOR MANY MANY MANY YEARS. NOW WE SEE THAT THEY ARE FAKERS AND FRAUDS AND QUACKS.

This is PURE EMERSONIAN JUSTICE. The murderous frauds and genocidal quacks have showed everyone what they are. Now we're free to find NON-MURDEROUS healers, whether Naturopaths or Chiropractors or Hindu Acupuncturists or whatever.

How do you know which side of a "debate" is good?

Before Tenure took over in 1970, professoring was a fairly leisurely occupation. It didn't pay very well, but it also didn't require lots of time. Many profs had 'old money' or inherited property. They lived better with the money from profing, but they could survive for a while without it. Result: a lot less crap and (comparatively) more careful and thoughtful research. Now that graduates start with a lifetime of debt, maximum employment and maximum grants are desperately necessary for survival.

  Where are the sane governors?
I've done too many of these futile Where Are The X items. Here's a new one, which makes more sense than the others. I haven't thought of it before, and I haven't read it elsewhere.

Where are the sane governors?

In previous years, the insane governors used economic BULLYPOWER to shame the sane governors into submission on various issues about "gender" and "race". Wash and Calif and Oregon worked together to force Georgia and SC into submission, and so on.

Time to return the favor.

At this point we have about 45 sane states, where the Public Death Officials are still trying to kill people but the governors have had enough. Some are fully open, most are opening steadily and quickly.

When the ratio is 45 to 5, economic bullypower can be HUGELY effective. If all 45 sane governors got together and refused to do state business with Amazon and Boeing and Microsoft and Nike and Apple and Google, and refused to grant tax privileges to any company in the crazy murderous states, it would have a real effect on the crazy murderous states.

Note: I haven't even bothered to ask Where is Trump or Where is Congress or Where is ANY Federal entity. The absolute fools who still think that Trump will saddle up and ride to the rescue, or Biden, or Obama, or any puppet you can name, haven't been paying the slightest bit of attention to ANYTHING AT ALL for the last 75 fucking years. There are still some occasionally useful counterforces outside DC, but nothing good will ever happen in DC.

  Variant on Parkinson
Via Twitter, an interesting variant on Parkinson.

Attributed to Jonathan Schwartz:

The people who control institutions care first and foremost about their power WITHIN the institution rather than the power of the institution itself.

Parkinson said the same thing less concisely, with more detail. Bureaucrats plan their ascent by picking subordinates who will squabble among themselves. Non-squabbling subordinates will work together to bring down the boss and move up to his position.

But Parkinson also outlined the purpose of the institution itself, which is more important than the moves within the institution.

Every organization tries to grow exponentially.

Growing exponentially is impossible, but an organization can cause untold death and destruction while it's trying to do the impossible.

Every organization claims to solve problems, and may actually solve one or two problems AT THE START, to gain traction. After it has traction, it switches to CREATING problems so it can pretend to solve them by CREATING problems so it can pretend to solve them by CREATING problems so it can pretend to solve them by...

Each "failed" attempt "justifies" more budget and workforce. See? We're achieving the goal, but not fast enough. We need more money and power!

At some point this exponential POSITIVE FEEDBACK bumps into the NEGATIVE FEEDBACK of reality, or uses up all available resources, or bumps into a competing organization destroying the same territory. Now we're in Darwin instead of Parkinson.

  Event shape
I'm constantly yammering about sin and tanh and exp. Sin and tanh are natural and exp is imaginary. But sin and tanh don't really describe the typical shape of an EVENT in nature. I don't think there's a single math function for this shape, but it's extremely common, nearly universal.



First is an epidemic of a virus. This particular Haute-Couture Branded Virus is a virus, so it does what viruses do. It expands to reach most of the population, then fades as the LIVE HUMANS kill it off with their LIVE IMMUNE SYSTEMS. The same pattern occurs no matter how you respond. We now have plenty of evidence that the lockdowns don't change the pattern, they just extend it over time to give the Public Death Officers a longer and more satisfying death-fetish orgasm. Lockdowns are Viagra for psychopaths.

Second is four of the bangs from last night's fireworks, which were intended as a LIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE to the DEAD MECHANICAL MONSTERS who are killing us. Same thing. Initial expansion, followed by fadeout as various surfaces echo the bang and absorb some of it.

Third is 'One Two Three Four', in my voice.

= = = = =

Epidemics, explosions, syllables.

Syllables by other animals (barking dogs, chirping birds) have the same shape.

Responses by single neurons have the same shape.

  Mystery immediately solved
Spiked UK reports some comparatively good news. British media and corporations have suddenly backed away from the "racism" campaign.

Last week everyone was RIGIDLY FORCED to say only what BLM said. Now the slogans are being removed from Twitter and the insignia are being removed from clothing.

Even the BBC is now telling its presenters and staff not to wear any pro-BLM symbols on air. Only last week the BBC was pledging to spend £100million on diverse programming in response to the movement. When Britain’s wokest broadcaster gets cold feet, you know something is up.

What caused this sudden pullback?

One reason for the collective about-face was a tweet by BLM UK about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

NOW WE SEE. Now we know which lives REALLY matter.

BBC is claiming that the "racism" shit was hijacked by foreign forces. Absolute fucking nonsense. The identitarian Maoist Left has been consistently and loudly pro-Palestine since 1968. Everyone who was involved in the Left back then understood this and took sides accordingly. The older execs at BBC were involved in the Left back then, so they can't be truly surprised by this. More likely they were going with the Woke flow until Epstein ordered them to stop.

  From an extremely different era 10
Back when scientific magazines were pro-science instead of anti-science, Popular Science published a short article on emotions and immunity. This was part of common sense until the witch hunters of 2020 flipped common sense upside down.

From Pop Sci 1893, p 357 of the PDF.

Excerpts:

The relation between the activity of the nervous system and resistance to disease may be illustrated by facts of different sorts. ... Hoffmann also made fear and the adynamy resulting from it play an important part as the predisposing cause of contagious diseases. Tuke believed, in particular, in the influence of fear upon the contagion of rabies. The breaking out of rabies has sometimes been observed after violent emotion.

(Adynamy = lockdown.)

I tried upon a considerable number of animals - pigeons, rabbits, and mice - the effect of fear, which was excited by means of noise or threatening motions.

Animals, some of which had been left at rest and others frightened, were injected with cultivations of pathogenic microbes. In all the experiments, without exception, the frightened animals died first.

The author also included some detailed observations of leucocytes (T-cells). When the blood vessels are constricted from fear, the big T-cells have a harder time getting through to where they're needed, and don't do a good job of eating bacteria and viruses. I don't know if this observation was later verified or disproved, but it seems like a simple explanation.

Aside from details, the basic CAUSATION is well known, and was formerly used POSITIVELY by doctors and public health officials. Maintaining stability and confidence and good nutrition is crucial to avoiding infection. Now the doctors and Public Death Officials are using the same knowledge INVERSELY to commit genocide.

  Cheaper
Successful revolutions generally end up purging their founders. This doesn't always happen, and the exceptions are worth considering. But before I consider them, let's look at what happens when a revolution purges the founders without chopping their heads off.

We're seeing a lot of purges right now, as former leaders and icons of the cultural left are being fired for missing one of the microsecond-scale Github updates in ideology.

If the purgees can get together and organize a counteracting BULLYFORCE, things could start to change. So far I don't see signs of this formation.

We see some formation of fake counterforces in social media, like Gab and Parler and Thinkspot. These are meaningless. Just a repetition of the well-known fake division between Fox and CNN. These fake counterforces are also UNNECESSARY, because Twitter and Facebook and Google are NOT censoring truth. They are censoring some expressions of truth, but truth is still roaring along in all of those channels.

Amazon is different, but then Amazon is a publisher in the strict sense of the word, and it's behaving the way publishers SHOULD behave. "Freedom of the press" doesn't mean each publisher must print everything that comes in. "Freedom of the press" means that each publisher is free to CHOOSE what it prints. Amazon does that. There are LOTS of ways to publish outside of Amazon. More than ever before in history. So this is a meaningless complaint.

What would be meaningful is a quiet alignment of canceleds and purgeds, BEHIND THE SCENES, gathering economic force to act in concert.

I have no idea if this is happening. If it was happening PROPERLY, we wouldn't hear about it until it suddenly bursts out of the curtain and makes a set of demands, backed up by HUGE BLACKMAIL POWER and HUGE ECONOMIC FORCE. Meet our demands or we tell everything and crash everything. To prove we mean it, here's the first tranche of information.

Consummation devoutly to be wished, but not gonna happen. The purgees will just keep begging and pleading and apologizing until they die. Cheaper than the guillotine.

= = = = =

Now back to the first sentence. The exceptions in recent decades are Castro and Khomeini. Both of them were originally funded and trained by CIA, then switched sides and served their own people. They purged the funders but not the founders. Both of them kept their founding generation in place, and Raul Castro is still leading Cuba after Fidel died of old age.

  Old frustration
This is a very old frustration, shared for centuries by authors and artists and teachers, whether professional or semipro.

The best output is ignored, while routine crap is read and bought.

I first noticed it in the '80s when I was teaching at DeVry. My best and most organized lectures got yawns from the students, while my hastily assembled drones after a sleepless drunken night seemed to engage the students fully.

The same frustration occurs now in the "reads" by bots. For a couple weeks the bots were "reading" elsewhere, now they're back. Some of them repeatedly pick up a few old items that were trivial and meaningless, not worth reading once let alone hundreds of times. Some of them carefully "see" only the rants and carefully "avoid" the items I put some thought and passion into.

Latest picture:

They're "reading" my dissident rants, which are emotional and ephemeral and momentary. They're ignoring my creative animations and tutorials and thoughts about Duty. Their selection is perfect, so I doubt that they're simply scanning keywords.

Good is bad. Bad is good.

Fine example of the Orwell switcheroo from Bloomberg, always reliably providing Room 101. Youngsters are doing exactly the right thing, and Bloomberg is still trying to persuade them that genocide is good for you.

“You’re young, you’re invincible, you don’t think it’s going to happen to you, and if it happens to you, you think you’re going to be fine,” Cox said in an interview. “The messaging is care for thy neighbor, but it is hard to get through to people.”

No, it's not hard to get through. Your murderous message GOT THROUGH, and the youngsters have figured out that you are murderers.

The youngsters have learned that this virus is a virus.

When a virus is around, it eventually "infects" everyone, and then it goes away because it's done. If it doesn't get a chance to "infect" everyone, it will stay around much longer. Viruses reproduce inside living things, and they only reproduce when the immune system fails. When you let a virus float around normally, it kills some people who were already dying, then it's done. When you RECIRCULATE the virus in a sealed capsule like a skyscraper or a cruise ship or a lockdown or a mask, you overwhelm the immune system. And when you insure that the immune system is compromised FIRST by prohibiting sleep and sun and work and exercise and fresh air and confidence and social contact, you're working overtime for death.

And that's EXACTLY what the Public Death Officers are doing. Parkinson. They are guaranteeing that the epidemic kills everyone and never goes away, because they have tasted blood and turned feral. They can't afford to let the "justification" for their holocaustal circlejerk disappear. Bureaucrats always pull this Parkinson problem amplification routine, but usually the Parkinson doesn't serve genocide.

These youngsters understand, perhaps naturally and perhaps consciously, how a virus works, and they are DOING EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING. They are performing the proper duty of actual public health officers, now that the PAID public health officers have all been zombified into Public Death Officers running a holocaust.

In a sane world the Nuremberg Trials would already be underway, and the executions would have started. This is not a sane world.

  I'm always doing Wheatstone ... but Wheatstone doesn't always work!
Second piece in Ancestral Ciphers, following (out of historical sequence) from the M-209 disk cipher machine.


In these Ancestral sets I try to find the first machine or first prototype. For ciphering, Everybody's Magazine in 1917 had a good article on early pictorial and sequential codes, p1003 of the PDF. The article was centered on Kraut ciphers, but it was really a long historical overview of the subject.

The family tree of Enigma-type machines starts with the thread cipher, often used in underground or prison communications. Sender and receiver have matching templates, sometimes homemade and linear:



or sometimes a page from a book or newspaper. The locations of the 26 letters are marked, ideally not in alphabetical order, and even more ideally with several duplicates of frequent letters to foil freq-count deciphering. The above picture is definitely not ideal.

Sender takes a long thread and places one end on the place in the template where the first letter of the message occurs. He then stretches the thread to the place where the second letter of the message occurs, and marks this place on the thread with ink. (Ideally disappearing ink.) He then holds that point of the thread on the location of the second letter and spans the thread to the location of the third letter of the message, and so on.

The result is a long thread with random-looking marks, or ideally no visible marks. The thread can be included easily in all sorts of items, from the classic cake to a shirt or sweater.

Sequential letter-finding guarantees difficult decryption, because each interval is the distance between previous and current letter, not a constant correlate of current letter.

Aha! Sounds like the Breguet dial telegraph. Each letter counts pulses from previous letter, and the pulse count is never directly correlated to the letter itself. Relative, not absolute.

Was there a Breguet cryptograph? Turns out that there was a device that looked and worked like Breguet, but it was invented [or claimed]** by Wheatstone.

= = = = =

Everything I find interesting turns out to be Wheatstone, whether I know it or not.

The device is so much like the Breguet dial that I was able to reuse most of my Breguet model. I built it in a couple hours, versus a couple days for most gadgets.

Here's Polistra showing how it would have been used. Crank the main handle to input letters, and write down what the second hand shows as the ciphertext.



The inner circle was meant to be cardboard and temporary. The sender and receiver would be using the same randomized order for the inner circle.

Unfortunately it wouldn't have worked well. I'm pretty sure I've followed Wheatstone's description. The inner circle had one less space than the outer, and the inner hand was supposed to run slightly faster than the outer, so the phase angle between them gradually increased. After one outer circle, the inner hand should then be running 'one hour ahead' of the outer hand, then 'two hours ahead' after two outer circles, and so on.

In the first place, there's no need to have a smaller inner circle if you're going to step the inner hand forward. But more importantly, the inner hand OFTEN looks like this:



Ambiguous. Which letter do you pick? This ambiguity would be common no matter how the ratios of inner writing and inner hand are chosen.

In fact the real (and commercially successful) Breguet setup would have done the job BETTER. Breguet was stepwise and 'digital' on both sender and receiver, with clockwork ticks and escapements, so there was never any ambiguity. Choosing and sending and printing letters is an inherently digital task. With numerical measurements you can round up or down. 3.87 becomes 4. But you can't round up or down with arbitrary symbols. A.87 doesn't become B, it's just meaningless.



Breguet could become a cryptograph by adding a 'kicker' to the receiver, so the receiver's pointer would jump ahead by 'one hour' after each revolution.

Even without any encryption, Breguet would have been frustrating for an interceptor who didn't 'tune in' at the start of the session. It could have been made much harder, even without the 'kicker', if the sender and receiver agreed to start each message from a different reset point.

= = = = =

The Hagelin multi-disk cryptograph, and its Enigma descendants, simply repeat the Wheatstone principle through several stages, with each wheel shorter ratio than the previous, so the mapping steps forward at each stage.

Here's my M-209 model made semi-transparent to show the wheel steps.



Wheel 1 has 26 letters, then 25, 23, 21, 19, 17. Each ratio is prime, no nice 2s or 4s.

The thread cipher, and Wheatstone's mechanized version, are relative measurements, not absolute. Wheatstone is always about relative measurement. Like the nervous system, everything is differences and deltas.

Morse and Braille and Chappe are absolute codes. Each letter, or each defined combo of letters, always has the same audio or tactile or visual pattern, starting from the same ground point. These systems can be read reliably no matter when you 'tune in'.

Morse is thus more like speech.... Or is it?

In fact speech is more like Breguet. All perception is relative and delta-based. Each vowel and consonant is judged as a transition from the previous set of frequencies.

= = = = =

** Footnote: Biographers depict Wheatstone as the typical born inventor, pouring out ideas all the time, quickly losing interest in each new idea and moving on. Some of the ideas were brilliant and original and timeless, some were unoriginal and impractical. Fortunately his business partner Charles Cooke was steady and practical, able to filter out the useful ideas and make them commercially profitable.

  Flat assertions galore
In recent months ZH has stopped pretending to be "independent", like every fucking body in the fucking world. Their coverage of the "arrest" of Ghislaine Maxwell is written by CIA. Full of Flat Assertions of Flatout Lies.

According to CIAZH, "Ghislaine Maxwell could be housed at MCC in New York – the same jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself."

They're no longer bothering with the fake "alternate" argument that Epstein "was killed". Previously the "alts" had to maintain that Epstein "was killed", while the "establishment" had to maintain that Epstein "killed himself".

As fucking always, an argument about details tells you that the argument is the wrong question. The correct question is not HOW Epstein died but WHETHER Epstein died, and the correct answer is NO.

Fake deaths are an old old trick for all Deepstates through history. It's the best way to remove an important operator from public scrutiny so he can operate without hindrance or constraint.

In other words, Ghislaine is about to be "killed" or "suicided", pick one and argue about it, so she can resume normal blackmail operations with the Mossad team.

We should be vastly more afraid of the Epstein-Barr Virus than the Branded Flu Virus.

  Simple equation
Some people are starting to catch on to a chronic long-standing problem, which has become acute and GENOCIDAL in the current fake "emergency". Retired officials and professors and doctors have been speaking truth openly on all the fake "emergencies" from "9/11" to "global warming" to "virus". Employed officials and professors and doctors enthusiastically commit the wars and holocausts.

Simple equation:

Tenure + Debt = Holocaust.

Tenure has been a big problem since 1970. It was starting to show up in the '50s, when my father saw it and warned me about it. I listened and learned.

By 1970 it was well-established. Careers are fragile and instantly stoppable until you get tenure. The only way to get tenure is to conform RIGIDLY to current orthodoxy, and keep up with the Room 101 / Github switchbacks of current orthodoxy. This setup insures that the people with budgetary authority are rigidly orthodox, which self-sustains the setup.

Debt doubled the problem. Before 1990 you could get a college degree without incurring a heavy load of debt. Now most 'prestigious' degrees burden you for 10 or 20 years, so you HAVE to try for tenure. If you're an MD working for a hospital or government, you HAVE to keep your job. You can't test the limits of tolerance. Employers KNOW that the professionals are debt slaves, and use them accordingly.

In earlier centuries and decades a lot of scholars and inventors had secure incomes from inheritance or sinecures. They were free to pursue truth, no matter where it led. University employment was helpful but optional.

Returning to a Natural Law system would eliminate both problems. Natural Law FEROCIOUSLY forbids debt and STRONGLY incentivizes saving and thrift. Natural Law employment is secure for life, provided you are doing the job.

Before the breakup of ATT, Bell Labs exemplified a Natural Law research facility. Bell had vast resources because of its quasi-socialist position. Researchers were free to pursue all sorts of projects generally in line with Bell's objectives. They weren't forced to fudge their data or stay with current fashion or achieve instant half-baked results.

After the breakup and the later LBOs, research was a Negative Externality. Raising Share Value and paying off the unpayable debt to JPMorgan were the only objectives. Bell Labs disappeared.

Here's the big point, which used to be obvious but now has disappeared in the chaos: When corporations AND governments AND individuals are running on savings, with deep reserves, everyone is VASTLY more free to do what's needed. Governments can serve the poor better; corporations can serve employees and customers better; and individuals can save their souls. When everyone is running purely on debt, everyone is enslaved to the bankers.

Hmm. Save your money and save your soul is a pretty decent motto.

  Old joke
The devil meets a guy at the gates of Hell and says, “Welcome to Hell. You will spend all eternity here, but you get to choose how to spend it. You may choose one of these three doorways. Once you choose a door, you may not change it. So let’s get started.”

The devil opens the first door. The guy looks in and sees a couple people standing on their heads on a concrete floor. “No way am I spending eternity like that,” he says. “Let’s move on.”

The devil opens the second door, where a few people are standing on their heads on a wooden floor. “No way,” the guy says again. “Let’s move on.”

The devil opens the third door, and the guy sees a bunch of people standing knee deep in cow manure, drinking coffee. “Lesser of three evils,” he shrugs. “Ok, I’ll choose this one.”

“Fine,” says the devil. “Wait right here, and I’ll get you some coffee.”

The guy settles in with his coffee, thinking that this isn’t so bad.

Suddenly, a voice comes over the loudspeaker saying, “Coffee break’s over! Back on your heads!”

= = = = =

We're there now, complete with loudspeakers.

This is how psychopaths work. Brief coffee breaks followed by ever stronger HUMILIATION AND HARM AND MAYHEM. Grinding your face in SHIT, over and over and over and over and over for eternity and eternity and eternity.

This is what happens when you let psychopaths rule the world without RIGID constraints by vastly superior blackmailers and bullies.

  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!

  The Enigma was thoroughly familiar
Starting a new series, Ancestral Encryption. Gotta keep the artistic output flowing, though my heart's not in it today. Way too much holocaustal hell, with no sign of any relief.



This M-209 ciphering machine was produced in great quantities during WW2. It was a small machine. Though it looks like a typewriter and has the same complexity as an adding machine, it's about the size of a landline phone.

Like the Gibson Girl transmitter,



the M-209 was ergonomically designed to fit the soldier's body. It could be used on a desk or table, but it was mainly meant for field use. The case was indented to fit over a knee, and a strap was added to hold it to the leg.



The six Key wheels on top were usually preset at headquarters before sending it out in the field. The field operator would turn the C/D switch on left to Code or Decode, then turn the Selector on left to each character of the input text and turn the black Drive knob on right. On some versions the Drive knob had a crank. As with a manual adding machine, the Drive knob would run the input letter through the cams set by the six Key wheels, and the output character would be printed on the paper tape.



The M-209 was a lot like the German Enigma machine, which is famous through stories and movies. Both were based on an earlier commercial cipher machine. Stories and movies give the impression that Alan Turing was solely responsible for solving the Enigma from scratch. Turing's math probably helped, but this class of machine was common on both sides, and familiar long before the war. The British deciphering project didn't use computers or theoretical math; it just manufactured a huge number of simulator machines and ran them in mass production style, bruteforcely examining all possible combinations and permutations. When a correct key was found, the key was applied to new messages until it failed. The project was a triumph of industry and organization, not a triumph of theory.
