Antidote for Soros
Watching the Imperial Media redefine pneumonia. Before 9/13/2016, anyone who claimed that pneumonia was characterized by four years of frequent seizures, unconscious spells, and confusion, would have been called bizarrely ignorant. After 9/13/2016, pneumonia is characterized by frequent seizures, unconscious spells and confusion. Even better, pneumonia that begins on 9/9/2016 is capable of extending its grasp back in time to create four years of seizures etc.**

THE EMPRESS HATH SPOKEN.

Now our job is to RECTIFY all previous records and definitions to agree with the Empress. From now on anyone who exhibits symptoms of lung infection must have something other than pneumonia.

= = = = =

Reminded me of an earlier Empress. The wonderful radio series Strange as it Seems, written by John Hix, gave us the most perfect examples of EMPATHY.

Two episodes of Strange dealt with Empress Catherine's force of redefinition. Both stories help us understand WHY Catherine gave these bizarre orders, and we also understand WHY the orders were bizarre and destructive to ordinary people. In this piece Catherine gets sentimental about a flower that reminds her of a lost love. She orders a sentry to guard the flower. Nobody can even THINK of countermanding the Empress, so the Army continues to assign sentries to guard the location of the flower 24/7 for a hundred years, until a later Emperor notices the sentry, finds out why the sentry is there, and finally countermands the order. In this piece Catherine has a troublesome cold (hmm) and achieves relief by applying tallow. (Like Vapo-Rub?) Again nobody dares to countermand the Empress, so the nation continues buying tallow for Catherine's cold. Every day for 80 years, until a later Emperor audits the books.

I've previously noted two examples of Hixian empathy in the opposite direction. The blind mailman and the blind gas-station operator. Both are presented without pity or sympathy. More like a User's Guide To Life. If you are faced with an obstacle, here's how you deal with it. Find a way of life that CAN succeed given your abilities plus the obstacle, and adapt yourself to make it work. Other people will help when they see that you are quietly and humbly optimizing your life. This isn't altruism. Optimization is nourishing and contagious.

In short, Hix teaches you to maximize your usefulness and pleasure, adapting to all positive and negative conditions.

= = = = =

Strikes me that Hixian empathy is a fine antidote to Sorosian weaponization.

Soros grabs up people faced with obstacles (poverty, crime, "gender", disability); MAGNIFIES the obstacles; and REQUIRES the weaponized group to live in a way that CANNOT succeed because of the obstacle. Don't quietly and humbly adapt. Arrogantly and regally COMMAND the world to adapt itself to you. Result: Maximally frustrated people, ready to turn their frustration into riots or lawsuits against targets picked by Soros.




= = = = =

** This rectification is going to run into a big problem. Supposedly the pneumonia is already cured. What will we call the next seizure and collapse? Ague? Grippe? Beri-beri? Scrofula? Republicans? Will the Empress's doctors have to be FtMarcied for inadequate care when the pneumonia keeps repeating?

  Good, sort of
An attempt to recall Copkiller Condon was rejected by a judge. Good, relatively speaking. The recall was nakedly partisan, aimed at replacing Copkiller Condon by Copkiller Stuckart. CK Stuckart is worse, but that's not the point.

A recall should only apply to illegal acts. Previous Gayor West was recalled for illegal acts, specifically hiring his boytoy as an intern.

Condon has made a number of bad decisions, but the badness is arguable on a partisan basis. If you think all cops should die, then his initial decision to hire a killer as police chief was good. Later Condon repented his bad decision and appointed a competent NONkiller police chief. The recall petition started at that point, because the recallers want to have MORE dead cops.

In any case there was no violation of written law, so his actions should be punished politically.

  Constants allow variables, variables force constants
A point I've made many times in many contexts. In its most general form:

Infrastructure is meant to be STATIC. Roads and bridges and sewer systems and rules of morality and rules of discussion and written laws and computer operating systems are all supposed to HOLD STILL so you can USE THEM to get things done. Navigating a fast-changing set of social or moral rules is like driving on Galloping Gertie. There may be a line down the middle where you can slowly crawl across to your destination, but the risk is so obvious that a sane human just doesn't bother. Your best bet for survival is to stay where you are. Shelter in place until the shaking reaches you and kills you.

My point began with a 1978 realization that a classroom conducted with old-fashioned decorum was MORE OPEN to discussion of new ideas. Classrooms conducted by Alinskyan 'anything goes' behavior were dominated by bullies and tyrants who enforced orthodox doctrine.

Constants allow variables, variables force constants.

I considered the same point in the realm of culture and religion here.

Reprinting a technical version of the principle:

= = = = =START REPRINT:

When building an EXE for use in Windows, you can count on a consistent set of API rules. The native Win functions are well defined, and the workings of C++ are well defined. Provided you understand both of these rule sets and use them correctly, you can predict what will happen when you write something like

MoveToEx(this->hdc,NewPt.x,NewPt.y,NULL);

When you put all those pieces together into a self-contained EXE, you know it will run on the Win versions that were specified in the rules. If there are problems, you can be 99% sure the problems are your own fault, even though you'll always waste time by blaming Windows first.

In the new world of HTML5 and CSS and SVG and JS, none of those certainties exist. All of those standards are only partly standardized and constantly changing, and you can't count on a package running on all common platforms. If it runs today, a version change by Firefox or Chrome may blow it up tomorrow.

In other words, 'platform-independent' really means 'excruciatingly platform-dependent.'

The platform-makers obviously love this, because they have finally reclaimed the power they lost when Windows owned the universe.

= = = = =

Comes down to this pair:

When the rules are stable, ordinary people can function.

When the rules are changing all the time, only the rulemakers can function.

= = = = =END REPRINT.

Now a slightly fresh angle, which was contained in the last paragraph but not stated.

I was looking again at my courseware product in its old EXE form and in its new JS form. The old form was packed with ORIGINAL graphics and ORIGINAL ways of presenting material and asking questions. The new form looks just like any other Imperial web page, with rounded buttons telling User to SUBMIT. Why? Because I was required to use the 'Twitter Bootstrap' pre-written code as the base of the presentation. And why did I have to use 'Twitter Bootstrap'? Because it's AUTHORITATIVELY VARIABLE. It's not contained in my code. It's strictly owned and controlled by the MASTERS OF VARIATION.

POINT: You can't have your own tools.

You must borrow the tools provided by the Master, because only the Master knows which tools will work at this millisecond on the systems run by the Master. When the Empire DDOS's Twitter to prevent Assange from insulting the Empress, everything that actively uses Twitter resources, even indirectly or unintentionally, also goes down.

  Not physically possible
ZH features a semi-scholarly article on Google's biased autocomplete. Not news. Google is Soros, and its autocomplete has always made it harder to find non-globalist TROLL. But in the specific case of Trump vs Hillary, I can't blame Google. It's just physically impossible to make an unbiased search algorithm.

Trump is totally and OFFICIALLY hated by ALL paid writers on ALL subjects. Every article on every subject and every comment on every subject includes at least one Tourettespew of venom against Trump.

If you pick up ALL web content for any given day in the last 12 months, you're going to find anti-Trump sentences in 90% of the pages on all subjects. The pages that don't contain Trumptourette are autogenerated 'error documents' and similar mechanical stuff. All human-written pages are anti-Trump.

I'd guess only 0.001% of all web pages have ANY sentences relating to Hillary, and of those few, exactly 100.00% are glowingly positive.

No filter can undo such a wild overbalance. Anti-Trump statements are in the same frequency range as THE or AND.

  Can't make it up.... or rather....
Old radio shows and movies often featured an Evil Overlord threatening a city or country with destruction unless it accepted his power or gave him One Million Dollars. The city got together and resisted the Evil Overlord, killing him and ruining his followers.

Now that we have a true and exact Evil Overlord, we're surrendering. Overlord Soros has ALL the qualities of a proper Overlord. He's giving Europe an ultimatum: Allow my invading Migrant Army to destroy you, or I will destroy you directly.

Anyone getting together and resisting? Nope.

Soros has obviously read all of those Guides For Evil Overlords. He has taken all necessary precautions BEFORE issuing the ultimatum. All of the Cool People, all of the media, all of the governments, all of the churches, all of the schools, and all of the major businesses are firmly and ferociously employed by Soros. No matter how much we Deplorables hate being raped and robbed and disemployed, our Unfeelings and Unthoughts do not exist.

You can't make it up. Or more precisely, we did make it up but we got it wrong.

  Lunoleth
Listening to KBS's weekly program on Korean culture and tradition. In connection with the harvest holiday Chuseok, they're discussing the image of the moon as a rabbit pounding rice in a mortar.

WHAT?

Brain explosion! BLAMO!

Maybe the delta-shock was sharp because I recently posted and focused on a set of 1895 Emoonicons. The Emoonicons are instantly understandable to Euros because we only see the moon as a human face.

Looking it up, the rabbit turns out to be universal among Orientals AND among the original American tribes who share genes with Orientals.

Different tribes developed different stories about the rabbit's activities and intentions, but it's always a rabbit on that side of the geneworld.

So the rabbit, or more precisely the neurons that enable you to see the rabbit, came before the separate languages and cultures of China and Japan and Peru.

What do Africans see in the moon? To some extent but not exclusively, they see a frog.

Is this the most basic way of distinguishing ethnic groups? Facemoon People, Rabbitmoon People, Frogmoon People. No way to test the hypothesis, even with separated twins. By the time you know what frogs and rabbits are, you've absorbed the ambient culture's story about the moon as well.

  Whoops! Borodin broke!
It appears that the Borodinic silence was broken. Appearances deceive.

Suppression of FACTS didn't break. The only thing that changed was the official STORY. For some reason the Empress's staff decided to change the official story from No Problemo to Pneumonia.

Reviewing Polistra's analysis of How, What, Who:

Three types of knowledge: How, What, Who.

All three types are necessary, and everyone uses all three types all the time, but the dominant type strongly influences the form and the success of a culture.

= = = = =

How-ism is based on skills, on knowing the way. How to build, how to cook, how to repair, how to keep people happy, how to keep them under control. How-knowledge comes directly from the senses, tempered and conditioned by comparison and proportion, with a constant awareness of feedback and cycles. (Does this work better? How can I tell when it's better? When does it repeat?) How-knowledge can be passed with no words at all from mother to daughter, father to son, master to apprentice.

What-ism is based on facts, on knowing the data. What-knowledge requires language, symbols and formulas. You can acquire what-knowledge by reading or listening.

Who-ism is based on identity and quotation. Who-knowledge requires a strong sense of status, an up-to-date reading of comparative authority, and a tape-recorder mind. If the high-status person says "2+2=5" and wears Prada, we must say "2+2=5" and wear Prada. If the low-status person says "2+2=4" and wears J.C. Penney, we must mock "2+2=4" and discard everything with a J.C. Penney label.

= = = = =

Modern journalists, like modern "scientists" and modern "economists", are pure Who-ists. They simply copy-paste the most fashionable "information". Facts are poison. Anyone who dares to observe Nature with his own senses is a Basket Of Paranoid Conspiracy Theories. Reality is SOLELY AND STRICTLY CONTAINED in documents emitted by the Empire. Anything not contained in Imperial Documents is an Unthing.

As long as Hillary's coughing and fainting were mere OBSERVED FACTS, perceived only by TROLL through mysterious TROLL superpowers called "eyes" and "ears", the coughing and fainting were poisonous Unthings. Wild tinfoil conspiracy theories.

When the Empire stated in an official document that Hillary had pneumonia (which is in itself an impossible diagnosis) the "reporters" instantly switched. They copypasted the document and agreed with it. Now Hillary's health has become an issue worth "discussing" because it's NO LONGER AN OBSERVED FACT.

Previous generations of reporters were equally biased but had a professional impulse that came first. Murrow was a Commie and a globalist but he was literally and etymologically a RE-PORT-ER before any of that. PORT = carry, RE = back. He saw and heard things, then CARRIED BACK what he saw and heard, so the masses who weren't present in London could indirectly see and hear the same things.

This concept has been totally extinct for 40 years.   ¶ 1:10 AM

  Literal Borodin effect
Polistra has repeatedly cited the Borodin Effect, named after old Radio Moscow's habit of switching to uninterrupted heavy music when something was wrong in the Kremlin. We're seeing a literal example right now as Deepstate media feverishly conspire to turn Hillary's latest collapse into a momentary 'overheating'.

This is counterproductive for your OWN purposes, idiots. Why do you WANT to have an Empress who dies before you "elect" her? How will that help? This little Kaine fellow doesn't have the same caliber of balls, nor the direct genetic dynasty connections. He will obey, but Les Deplorables will not obey him.

A subset of a much broader problem. Trump and Hillary are both OLD. After 60 most people NEED MORE REST. A small proportion of humans can keep running at full speed until 100, but the vast majority need to FUCKING SLOW DOWN. Boomers have persuaded ourselves that we can work at full speed until 80, and then have a full-speed "retirement" from 80 to 130, during which we will start only 400 new fraudulent IPOs per month and work only 900 hours per week instead of 1000, spending the other 100 hours in X-treme Sports and Traveling The World and running 10 ultraultramarathons per hour.

Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.

We constantly cite "increasing lifespan" as a reason for repealing the laws of human life, but "increasing lifespan" is a falsely built statistic. As I noted before, and as even the SS Admin has vainly tried to point out, the expected lifespan FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY REACHED 65 hasn't changed very much. The "increase" resulted from major cuts in childhood mortality.

As always, we're using mean instead of median to create deadly lies.

  Why do they bother?
It's truly ODD that our Deepstate masters continue to churn out their heavy-handed NoKo-style propaganda while the facts are INSTANTLY available. You don't need to travel, you don't need samizdat sources or shortwave radio. Youtube will tell you the facts.

Example: Deepstate constantly hammers home the 'information' that Russia and Brazil are collapsed tyrannies deep in famine.

Try it. Use Bing or Google translator to look up some terms relating to an activity you know, an activity that you can judge accurately. Cars, cooking, candles, whatever. Put those terms or phrases into Youtube in Portuguese or Russian. You'll see lots of prosperous-looking people, well-fed, dressed in new clothing, engaging happily and correctly in the activity or work or hobby you know.

A collapsed economy doesn't support expensive hobbies and well-fed well-clothed cheerful people. It's wildly unlikely that all of these clips have been staged just to maintain a facade of prosperity and freedom in every conceivable area of life.

By contrast, some of the allegedly prosperous and free countries are unusually short of such activities. It's much harder to find such clips from Germany or Italy or France.

Over the last year or so BBC Radio has shifted to a new style. Their viewpoint hasn't changed. Infinite evil as defined and specified by Soros. All of Soros's projects are advanced concurrently and sequentially.

The previous style was more like NPR or CNN or Fox. Propaganda sweetened and cushioned by "entertainment", with a multi-layered backbeat helping you to resonate with the proper emotion. Scary music for DENIERS and TROLLS and NATIONALISTS, pleasant music for Sorosians and Techbots and Migrant Dreamers and Chosens.

The new style is harsh and austere. DIDACTIC DIALECTIC. BBC literally ENUMERATES the points of Correct Sorosian Doctrine in outline format, like an old-fashioned schoolmarm hammering the meaningless and false slogans of Correct Grammar.

Basket of deplorables is weird language, but the concept is perfectly familiar. Treating half the population as IRREDEEMABLE is the classic kickoff for a pogrom. Nietzsche and Rand and Musk and Zuckerberg comprehend the idea perfectly. You got your Ubermenschen and your Untermenschen, your Brights and your Dims, your Evolved Ones and your Negative Externalities.

The basket itself vaguely reminded me of something, which took a while to localize.

Shows best in this illustration from a Tale of Two Cities.



Caption: "Sidney Carton and the little seamstress rumble off to their deaths in a tumbrel escorted by Jacobins."

More familiarly and recently, where do you put deplorable and irredeemable things?



What the Brights fail to grasp is that us Dims are perfectly accustomed to being insulted and tossed out and spit on and shit on. We have evolved to derive nutrition from the only available source. Insults are a vitamin for us Dims, just as tragedy is a vitamin for Russians.

  Is this the last gasp of sanity?
Yesterday I supplied the answer that Gary Johnson SHOULD have given about Syria, representing both the LP and Populist positions on war.

"The only thing we can do now is GET THE FUCK OUT and stop interfering with Putin's effort to end the war. We shouldn't have started the war. Starting wars is evil and leads to more war."

Is anyone actually doing it?

Yes. Obama is actually doing it.

The United States and Russia hailed a breakthrough deal on Saturday to put Syria's peace process back on track, including a nationwide truce effective from sundown on Monday, improved humanitarian aid access and joint military targeting of banned Islamist groups.

"Today, Sergei Lavrov and I, on behalf of our presidents and our countries, call on every Syrian stakeholder to support the plan that the United States and Russia have reached, to ... bring this catastrophic conflict to the quickest possible end through a political process," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told a news conference... "The Obama administration, the United States, is going the extra mile here because we believe that Russia, and my colleague (Lavrov), have the ability to press the Assad regime to stop this conflict and to come to the table and make peace."

Doing it. Getting the fuck out.

We know Hillary will resume HER war in Syria and add 174** new wars. We don't know what Trump will do. Based on actual record, he'll probably start a tweetstorm against some celebrity while hiring Hillary to run the wars and start more. Gary Johnson can't even concentrate long enough to answer a question, let alone end a war. He'd happily allow Hillary to continue starting more wars. He wouldn't even notice.

= = = = =

** Footnote on 174: There are 190 recognized nations. We will NOT make war against Our Most Noble Leaders Israel and Saudi. Hillary started or continued wars in 14 nations so far. 188-14=174 nations that still need to be destroyed. Plenty of work on her plate!

  More idiocy about Venezuela
Headline: Scientists flee crumbling Venezuela

Even "scientists" who ordinarily prefer socialism are blaming socialism for Venezuela's problems. Modern "scientists" are wrong about EVERYTHING, and their preference for socialism is wrong by their own standards. GOOD science (medicine and engineering and industrial technology) got plenty of support under Russian and Cuban socialism. Modern "scientists" hate GOOD science even more than they hate civilization, though that's a high bar. Their love of socialism is just leftover hippieshit romanticism.

An even more fundamental problem is that people trying to conduct basic research cannot secure grants because funding priorities are dictated by the government. ‘The government decides what projects the government is going to support, or what line of research it is going to support,’ Bonalde explains. He says most of the time scientists cannot even apply for such funding because the government dictates that this money goes to public projects, such as river cleanups and other social or community initiatives.

Normally modern "scientists" insist on ONLY government funding, because according to "scientists" that's the only way to guarantee proper "science". Letting businesses or citizens fund science might accidentally lead to a harmless or non-genocidal invention that would fail to destroy the entire universe. CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!! ONLY OMNICIDE IS PERMISSIBLE!!!!!

In this case they say the PROBLEM is public funding, because Venezuela prefers to put money into the kind of Sorosian projects that "scientists" always tell us we should be putting MORE money into. River cleanups = Carbon Cult. Best possible use of money. Social initiatives = Smashing civilization. Best possible use of money.

Perfect dyslogic.

The real problem with Venezuela, as I noted historically, is NOT socialism. It's just total idiocy. Chavez picked up the slogans of socialism from Cuba but didn't pick up common sense or proper nationalist thinking. He let Exxon run the country for the benefit of Exxon, with a big vig for Chavez.
