India now the Bullshit News Capital

Here's some random lady reporting from India on the current round of covid bullshit.

Neocons Never Held to Account

 The people who promoted the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria will probably never be held to account, or even mildly chastised. The Iraq war was a failure. It cost trillions of dollars and destroyed a nation and killed hundreds of thousands of people. What was the actual objective?

A few of the neocons got sidelined from the public sphere, but quite a few of them recently served in the Trump administration, and many of them are on TV all the time as talking heads.

They really took no risk in their endeavor and all ended up getting very wealthy. In the meantime the US sank further into decline, and the lives of the combatants were squandered on the neocons scams and schemes.

A Ray of Hope!

People aren't nearly as brainwashed as I feared. It seems like only a fraction of the population is onboard with the vaccine scam. I think the scumbags that sold this hoax will try a fresh angle, then all hell will break loose because too many people realize it was a scam. Yay! Go people. I hope all the corrupt scumbag politicians that played along with this fraud get wrecked in every possible way.

cLimAte CatASTRoPhY!!!

The climate cult is probably worse than the covid cult in terms of dumbness and in terms of the damage they're going to wreak on our lives, and ironically, the damage those cocksuckers are probably going to cause to earth.

They're planning to try to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere and "sequester" it somehow... I guess by binding it to chemicals?

What's the right amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in a planet that's constantly in a state of flux and has gone from ice planet to warm planet multiple times? I guess some asshole like Bill Gates or John Kerry knows that.

Maybe it's the historical average? Which historical average? A multi-million year average, or is it only like 1000 year average? Maybe some computer models that can't predict the past or the future will be helpful in that regard. Maybe the advertising mascot Gretard Thundertard has that in her scripts. She knows as much about the "climate" as Tony the Tiger.

A huge amount of energy and resources are going to be squandered by "green" retards to try to "save" the planet. I won't be surprised if they cause real harm and real pollution in their endeavors if they're left to their own devices.

Or perhaps they'll just rob the treasury of the US government to live their lavish lifestyle on taxpayer dollars.

The Paradox of Productivity

I've been working a lot on my drone-mapping project. I'm getting to the really gnarly and interesting parts of the project. In short--when the drone takes a photo of the same spot on the ground from different vantage points, that point appears at slightly different locations in the array of pixels that make up the image based on elevation of the ground at that point and the distance to the drone.

It's possible, though, to correct the apparent location based on the relative elevation of the points. A state like Ohio provides high resolution (7 feet per pixel) LiDAR maps. They're pretty cool. Here's one of the lidar maps of my neighborhood. The relative elevation is depicted as a gray level. The "black" pixels are water. You can really see how this particular area was glaciated 14,000-ish years ago. The higher ground at the south end of the image is the furthest advance of the last glaciers in this area, and of course there's a bunch of rocks and sand right there where they melted. Pretty nifty. You can also see buildings and tree cover if you zoom in on the image.

The drone GPS is pretty great as-is, but it's even possible to post-processing correct the GPS data down to the sub inch/cm level, apparently. I did not know that, but need to investigate further. Even without the correction, there's remarkable correspondence between the LiDAR data and the drone position data.

So in theory, I should be able to produce a map that's really at least as good as anything that huge corporations or government agencies can produce with my $2000 drone and my jack-of-all-trades knowledge.

We're in a time where individuals and people in cottage industry mode can do what a giant corporation can do because technology is so cheap. The individuals aren't dragging around a load of useless overhead, nor are they supporting a hoard of financial parasites. I am extremely skeptical, now, of concepts like "economy of scale". There's no such thing... once there's any "scale" there's so much corruption that any notion of economizing disappears. Also, it's obvious that at least as much expense and effort goes into vain attempts and makework "management" as it appears to "save".

Nor do corporate organizations have any superlative and unique ability to tackle complex projects. The open source software community demonstrates that in spades.

It's really not a surprise that the oligarchy is trying to entrench itself in laws and cultish religious zealotry. It seems like their ideal outcome is a sort of North Korea version of the western world... which will obviously kill the goose that lays the golden eggs for them. The people who are pushing the global warming scam, the covaids scam, and complete and utter nonsense like trannies and pronouns, and white guilt are total trash walking human gibberish.

I hope what happens is that we replace that oligarchy and all their scam systems and unleash the individuals, and I hope people just do it en masse with no plan, and of course with no violence. Just exit this current system by ignoring it and go do something else.

The Ongoing Revelation

The government of Oregon is probably going to join other super lefty states in banning the sales of new internal combustion engine cars by 2030. Governments are trying to force a transition to the electric transportation network that doesn't exist and probably won't exist any time soon. This is central planning madness at its worst.

For some unknown reason the "left" seems to be going bonkers, like religious zealots. Maybe it has something to do with the Trump election in 2016. Maybe they felt their stupid schemes were threatened by the general public briefly trying to assert themselves politically, so now they're putting their foot to the floor so the societal clown car can careen off the road and fly over the cliff.

It's getting easier to see how brainwashed that portion of the US population is. They're a big cult whose thinking has been shaped by propaganda. It's interesting that the "the science" cult is composed of both ostensible "scientists" and also people who maybe have a degree in Communications or psychology.

I'm not opposed to electric vehicles at all, by the way, but it's really obvious that this agenda has nothing at all to do with "CO2" emissions or the nonsense models of the climate. It's also very obvious that the current generation of batteries and electric cars are sub-par. They're much worse than a 1998 Camry from the point of view of "environment protection". An electric car purchase is even dumber financially than buying a brand new car since the batteries cost so much and eventually go bad. Old Teslas that were six figures new, for example, are pretty close to worthless when they're old. They're as bad as buying a Jaguar.

Anyway, whatever is driving the attempt to convert the transportation fleet to electric power is something very weird. It's a rando plan of some clique of asshole oligarchs. They're not capable of planning how you or I should live. Their choices are completely arbitrary, or are based on utter religious nonsense.

You Need Triple Doses to Fight Covaids Double Secret Variant 99!!!!

Who would've guessed, except anyone paying attention at all to this fucking scam and the usual MO of the scammers running this giant hoax, that they'd want to sign you up to a life time of their juice--TO FIGHT A FUCKING COLD.

People are still buying this bullshit. Hapless retarded mouth breathing fucking morons are buying this scam like the god damn kool aid chuggers in Jonestown.

Neoliberal Jews are Worse than Neocons

The Biden administration looks to be amping up aggression against Russia. They're attacking the Russian economy now in what's more or less an act of war.

I'm not even going to pretend that it's something other than jews driving that agenda. It's jews: JEWS JEWS JEWS in the biden administration that have some long standing ethnic beef with Russians. I am sure, by now, the Russian people don't give two shits about their country being hijacked by commie jews back in the 1900s. The Jews however, seethe forever about this stuff. They're angry about things that happened thousands of years ago, or hundreds of years ago.

Mom and pop america have nothing to do with the beef that the neoliberal jews have with Russia. The jews in the US who want a war with russia over Ukraine, a country nobody in the US gives a fuck about, should go buy some M-16s, suit up and head over there.

Instead they'll use national US resources to advance the agenda of tiny clique of people who live in a handful of neighborhoods across the United States. The US is a pathetic husk run by bribed and blackmailed scumbags and a dementia patient president.

$70,000 for 12 kWh Solar System

According to an article I just read on Ars Technica, a Tesla (formerly Solar City) 12 kW system (basically like a whole house power supply) is $70,000.

So what's the payback time for that? You can do the math yourself. What's your kWh power cost? How many hours of sun do you get per day? How often is your roof completely snow covered? $70k is a fuckload of kWh at $0.20 or less.

It's pretty easy to see the overall trajectory for our scheme based economy in the years to come: government mandates forcing "investments" that help out cronies of super corrupt politicians. It will just be a happy accident if any of their schemes really are beneficial.

The vaccine cartel scam is another great indicator of where this technocracy shit is heading. Cartels that add no real value will get legal protections and become part of "vital" (actually worse than totally useless) infrastructure.

Fuck these people.

How Long Until It's Open Season on the Covid Scammers?

A large portion of the population is aware that the 'rona story is a sham.

How much longer will those people put up with 24/7 propaganda and lies? If it's 10% of the population, then in the US, the equivalent of the state of California's population realizes the government and corporations are attempting to coerce them through lies and con games. The so called "news" is like a 24/7 infomercial of covid fear porn and vaccine promotion.

The people who run the governments and corporations are a really tiny group of literally the worst people in the country. They seem hellbent on running the corona scam to whatever conclusion they imagined might happen.

I don't hold out any hope that the vast mob of brainwashed people will ever figure out it's a scam, but at some point that 10% of the population might see their goose is cooked if they remain passive or wait for this nonsense to blow over.

Right now, it seems like the scam is sort of running out of steam. There's a lot of positive movement back toward freedom, at least on the per-state level. I think the scumbags that plotted this scam out will try again pretty soon though.

End of the Middle Class? Good.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing if the middle class disappears. If it gets replaced with world-wide serfdom and a technocratic dystopian hellscape, that's horrible, but if people just bail on the current system and start over without participating in the con games that keep them on the "middle class" treadmill, that's a great thing.

The middle class treadmill is based on scams and schemes that keep people trapped and working like drones, really so the scumbag executives and scammers in the financial system, who are trapped and working like drones can maintain their depraved and retarded lifestyle, which is just a much more lavish version of the middle class consumer's lifestyle... The executives aspire to be making payments on yachts and private jets instead of jet-skis and coach-class tickets to vegas, but it's the same mentality.

My wife knows a middle class woman who's working 2 simultaneous full time jobs, like something out of a sitcom, so she can support her family's upper middle class lifestyle. What's the point of that? If you flush all your time down the toilet on some paper pushing jobs so you can maintain a "lifestyle" of appearance, what's the appearance even worth?

Middle class people go on vacations where they spend a couple months worth of their gross income in a week or two, really to pretend like they're idle rich people with vacation islands and passive income from financial assets, but then they have to go back to the grind to try to catch up on their savings... then they worry everyday about their retirement plans. It's extremely insane.

There are now 84 and 96 month car loans. If you buy a car using those terms, it's worse than a lease, or rental. You are underwater on the loan the minute you sign it and you've implicitly signed up to 8 years on the treadmill. By the end of the loan, the car will be almost worthless. You can buy an 8 year old low mileage used accord or civic for a few thousand dollars and sell it after a couple of years for a few thousand dollars.

The corporation executives and the financial parasites need people to engage in this stupid behavior at an ever increasing pace, mainly because of the way the financial scam operates.

There's No Road Back from Jonestown America

 If you realize covaids is a scam, there's no road back to your pre-covaids life. The zombie apocalypse happened, the "Invasions of the Body Snatchers" happened. The 'borging of a huge portion of the population already happened. There's no road back to the prior world. That world is donezo.

Stop looking back.

Stop waiting for the scam to end. It's not going to end. That whole hypnotized herd is not going to suddenly snap out of it. They're a lost cause. They're in a huge cult. They're not able to independently process information--the cold reality is they probably never were. They've got no connection to their own guide-star or truth. They're living in a world where corporate propaganda completely informs their view of reality. Chances are you can't compete with that.

Drone Mapping Software Project

 I've been working on drone aerial photography software for a few months now. It's a really interesting and challenging problem to tackle.

Ideally, the process of making a mosaic of a bunch of aerial photographs would be completely automatic. You could build a fully automated system if you either had absolute accuracy in the positioning of the drone and its camera, or if you had algorithms that could automatically recognize landmarks in photos, then stitch them together.

A consumer grade drone is not very accurate about its position in space, or its orientation in space. A custom built drone with very precise instrumentation would cost tens of thousands of dollars to build or buy. so it'd be preferable to try to use landmarks in the photos.

I just finished working through various algorithms to recognize landmarks and stitch the photos together based on that. The algorithms that were developed for that purpose work well when there are strong features that don't change much in appearance based on the drone position in the air like, a driveway or a road. However, photos of a forest vary wildly based on position, so there's no landmarks that the algorithm can use. In fact, a human can easily be confused by the pictures and would have a hard time manually positioning them.

The only practical solutions there are to either use a video, and extract image data from a succession of frames, then stitch those together--which sacrifices image quality--or to rely on a human brain and some artificial landmarks in photos. I think commercial satellite mapping companies are using neural networks (plus extremely accurate position information) to produce their latest aerial photography mosaics.

The math for the video image stitching is a really good candidate for hardware acceleration via custom processors. At some point, in fact, this stuff will probably be embedded in custom processors and any old crappy consumer grade drone could generate a map very easily.

Anyway, it seems like the manual landmark identification is the way to go for my application. The software can then stitch the photos together easily. Another advantage of that is some of those landmarks can be attached to real world GPS coordinates, so the map can be tied to an accurate position on earth.

So once I get a good recipe for that system, it'd be pretty easy to package it up for other people to use as well. I might actually get there by the end of the summer 2021.

Practical Application of Speculative Philosophy

In the early 1990s I got interested in the idea that consciousness is a general property of our universe. I was swimming in Lake Erie on a really super hot summer day and was just floating on my back in the water. As a lark, I wondered what the Lake "felt" on that day.

It's not really a huge stretch to imagine that there's many forms of consciousness, and it's not confined to living creatures with brains and central nervous systems. If you generalize it a little bit to storage of information, and operations on information, then it's a very small leap to see it everywhere. For example, aggregate groups of animals have a sort of shared consciousness, like a flock of birds. And then it's not really much of a leap from there to concluding everything has some form of consciousness.

So in a certain sense, something like a forest has a consciousness. That consciousness is probably completely unintelligible to humans. Just as our consciousness is basically in another "dimension" from our meat computer brain, the consciousness of something like a forest is nowhere to be found "in" the forest.

Why isn't consciousness "in" our brain? It "arises" from the relationship of the matter and chemical and electrical signals in our brain. It's akin to something like the concept of distance between two physical objects. That is, the "property" of distance really isn't present in the world like the two physical objects are--it's really in some other dimension.

I think these concepts can actually be applied in real world scenarios, especially with respect to something like gardening. A basic gardener will usually think about their activity in aesthetic terms. They'll think "this garden bed should be brown dirt with uniform appearance". The appearance of the garden will inform all their activities throughout the season.

If they endeavor to understand their activity from the garden's point of view, their activity will be almost the opposite of the aesthetic-driven gardener. There's a school of gardening from Korea that is really very in-line with that notion. For example, they'll cultivate the bacteria and fungi in the garden by culturing it and feeding it. Basically, they go out in the woods and leave a sterile container of some freshly cooked (i.e. sterile) rice to collect a population of micro-organisms, then they basically multiply those micro-organisms in a vat and use it as fertilizer.

Globalists versus States and Counties

"Globalism" is the fusion of 20th century fascism and communism--the two deadliest and dumbest forms of government of that blood soaked century. It's been repackaged by corporations and advertisers into a dogmatic/quasi religion or cult. It abandoned the use of military force, and favors systemic forms of coercion and manipulation.

In the United States, it seems like there's a real split between the people and the government in DC, which is ridiculously corrupt, and seems to be run by incompetent people who are only capable of chaos, destruction, and theft of national resources. The faction who controls the federal government and several of the state governments is also in control of many large corporations.

The freedom oriented states are starting to insulate their people from the globalists. States like Texas and Florida are pre-empting the vaccine passport scam for example, however, it seems pretty likely that the globalist faction will attempt to enforce it via their corporate holdings. Fortunately, they're so incompetent, and rely so much on outside help that it'll take a long time for them to even try to successfully implement their schemes. In NY, for example, which is basically their headquarters in the US, the government and their lackeys and cronies in "tech" companies bungled the rollout of their stupid passport system. It doesn't seem to work--much like the Obama-care website. Of course, they'll just keep throwing money at it until it sort of does in several years.

Hopefully we can move on from the covid fraud without a major violent conflict and hand globo-homo a loss, but they'll just slink off somewhere and plan their next stupid scheme.

No Masks in China

 

I don't know anything about this guy or his YouTube channel except he is in China. There's hardly any mask wearing or "social distancing" nonsense there. The people in "authority" in western countries need to get booted the fuck out. The stupid brainwashed braying masses need to be ignored.

Pro-Tip: The Government Lies

 I think a pretty good chunk of the population is done with the covid scam. I think it's at least 10%, and that number is creeping up every day.

There's really no point arguing with the shitty government about double secret mutation, or the mask wearing farce. There's less point arguing with their dupes in the public. If you can't tell Fauci is a liar just by looking at him, there's no helping you.

The US government is infested with bribed and blackmailed lackeys and the agents of some fifth column organizations. I don't even pretend to know who these people really are. Jews? Masons? Communists? Oligarchs? Aliens? I don't really fucking know.

It's extremely obvious, though, that they have some bizarre pre-planned agenda. They're trying to impose some new really shitty government and economic system on all the people.

What this really shows is the current system is very arbitrary and stupid. The system they plan is equally, or maybe even more arbitrary and stupid. It seems like it's super duper central planning--which is the all time historical worst and deadliest form of government.

Governments have too much power. Corporations have to much power. Both should be kicked into the corner and shrunk down to negligible size.

Covid and Gamified Reality

Wild animals spend their lives in real, reality. Very, very little of their world involves abstraction or "gamification". Human beings that live in civilization, like the western world civilization, spend almost none of their time in real reality. They live in a game.

For example, 99.9% of the time, instead of going out in the woods and killing an animal and eating it, they go to work for digits in a computer database, then go buy some dead animal in a grocery store. Almost all the people who do that have no idea how any aspect of the system that puts an animal in their belly works. They don't know how the price is set either.

The price is partly set by gamblers who never even see the cows. They are just betting on ups and downs in cow "prices". Some of those gamblers never leave New York city. Some of them get an extremely large number of digits in their database entries. One of the most famous cow price gamblers is Hillary Clinton. She made a small fortune supposedly, by gambling on cow prices while bubba bill was working the cocaine biz as Arkansas governor.

(You can still go to a farmer and buy beef, of course, and that beef is usually significantly better in every way than the stuff you'd get that went through that system)

The Covid-scam is an expansion of the game world into individual lives. Many people now believe the government can control the movement of nanometer scale things. They also believe that Bill Gates' Joy Juice is superior to their immune system. They are seeking constant direction from supposed experts, who just keep changing the rules of the game all the time, yet somehow retain credibility with these dummies. It is truly bizarre.

A Lawyer in Oregon Thinks They Won't Need Diesel in 2028

Several states and jurisdictions within the USA are setting pretty arbitrary dates and deadlines for banning sale of fossil fuels. It seems insane. There's really no viable replacement available. I believe the people who push these rules and regulations are completely detached from reality.

Take California as an example. The state plans to ban sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035, presumably for electric vehicles, but at the same time, every year they have problems with their electric distribution and production grid. It takes several years to plan and build a new power plant. It takes several years to build new power lines. While that state has lots of resources and apparently has a high income, it's also already got significant debts and liabilities.

Some jurisdictions think they can ban sale of diesel fuel and force replacement with biodiesel in just a few years. Biodiesel is a tiny fraction of overall fuel production at the moment. There's no infrastructure that can produce biodiesel on the needed scale. Most heavy machinery and farm equipment requires diesel. Battery power isn't close to being a viable option for many of those applications. A cold reality of "renewable" resources is they're really not able to bootstrap their own production and really implicitly rely on existing fossil fuel infrastructure.

There's no guarantee that batteries will be a viable substitute for liquid fuels. They're too heavy/low energy density. It is very possible that packing electrons into some type of storage unit has hard physical limits. Adding more and more batteries to a vehicle to extend range is a game of rapidly diminishing returns.

Companies like Toyota don't think batteries are a viable option. Fuel cells seem like an equivalent type of replacement for fossil fuels, but that technology has its own problems, mainly there's no viable system to store hydrogen and there's no infrastructure for it.

The cult of "progress" believes that if you throw enough money at a problem, you'll certainly come up with a solution. They think that the dictates of some bureaucrats and lawyers will force technological breakthroughs. However, I am guessing the most likely outcome is a huge amount of resources are going to be squandered on dead end ideas, boondoggles and nepotism. There won't be much to show for it.

What happens if there's regulatory strangling of essential elements of the economy, e.g. energy production, and there's zero viable technological alternatives? I suppose they'll keep extending and moving deadlines, but will stifle investment in vital infrastructure for energy production, for example, or for energy distribution. I think the attempt to manage the economy for "innovation" will have the exact opposite effect.

That tech-topian dream is probably a mirage. It's not even such a great dream if it could really come to pass. That "Jetson's" life seems pretty stupid. People will be even dumber and weaker than they are today.

Plastics: The Ultimate Cautionary Tale

Almost any technological solution to any one of humanity's problems causes some unintended consequence, or some new problem. Widespread use of plastic is one of the better examples. It seemed innocuous, but was actually a pretty major problem.

Plastic has several properties that make it a good replacement for metal, wood, or glass in many applications. It's potentially lighter weight, for example, and it's potentially less energy intensive to fabricate than glass or metal. As a consequence, it replaced glass and metal in many food container applications.

Of course, the problem with plastic is it's a pollutant, because it's really an alien chemical on earth. Metals like steel and even aluminum will eventually break down into their constituent components, plus they can easily be perfectly recycled. Glass is basically just sand and is mostly harmless. Plastic seems like it will only break down over a very long time span, and in the meantime it ends up in the ocean where it harms animals.

Mass use of plastic as a building and container material is pretty recent. It's really only a phenomenon of the last 50 or so years. In less than one human lifetime, a huge pile of plastic garbage ended up in the ocean. It'll take way more time and energy to clean up that mess than was saved by substituting plastic for glass and metal.

It seems like almost every technological solution to a problem is like that. Mass adoption of electric vehicles, for example, would end up causing its own particular set of pollution and problems too, just like "green" energy technology will.

The Free People versus the Oligarchs: Disposition of Forces

The US is experiencing an invasion-by-fraud right now. A small clique of people are attempting to install a new system of government that's extremely bad for the average person in the US via a campaign of propaganda and through control of puppet players in the government, probably through bribery and blackmail.

That clique of people is really small. Maybe it numbers in the dozens to hundreds. Their lackeys and cronies and employees probably number in the 10,000s. I think they might fill a football stadium--Let's tally their number at 100,000 for the sake of simplicity. They're people in academia, the media, corporate executives, NGOs, and people in government. They're primarily a force of administrators and bureaucrats and they're basically in what amounts to a religious cult. While those people might fill a football stadium if they were all in one place, they're really scattered all over, so they're more diffuse than a fog. I'm not even sure what label to apply to them. Oligarchs, globalists, communists?

The second group is the free people. I'd say that group is 10% of the population of the US. It's probably a similar proportion of the population in various other western countries. That group is probably really diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, age, etc... They're similarly spread out across the whole country, but 10% is still a significant fraction of the overall population. They outnumber the oligarchs and their minions by a large number. The oligarch minions number around 30/100,000, while the free people are 10,000 per 100,000.

The third group is the mass population who don't have any opinion about whether they'd rather have their life completely controlled by the oligarchy or if they'd rather be free. If they could understand the tradeoffs involved, or could think about the consequences of being free versus being controlled, they'd probably choose freedom, but alas, they can't. They just believe whatever they're told.

The only two active groups are the freedom people and the oligarchs. The freedom people are only just becoming broadly aware of the oligarchy problem via the covaids fraud. A select few people have been preaching against the oligarchy for years, but they were voices in the wilderness and were preaching against the potential of an oligarch takeover in the distant future. It seems like that future is arriving.

The oligarchs seem to have some jurisdictional limitations. For example, for some reason they really seem to exert a lot of influence and control over airline travel. It seems like they'd like to control many more things, but don't really have the ability to even though the governments are loaded with their employees and puppets. The vaccine passport concept is an obvious attempt to extend their reach. Electric cars are also. The idea of controlling people's lives via corporations seems to be their current game plan.

There's two obvious options for the free people. Option A is destruction of the oligarchy through violence, aka civil war. It's a similar situation to the reformation in Europe. The reformation was extremely destructive and violent. It'd be really difficult for the free people to get to the oligarchy even though they outnumber them by orders of magnitude. Their group is small and diffuse and might even be anonymous. They're all over the planet. Also, it's a misunderstanding of the problem.

The real problem is we allow systems to control our lives. We're really ruled by those systems. The oligarchs are too. They're just enmeshed in the control mechanisms of those systems.

The Amish are the really great example of a strategy and approach to living free that would actually work. It's really necessary to rebuild the destroyed culture and to restructure the economy as part of that to exclude the corporations and especially the banks from participation.

It might be necessary to fight at some point, but I think that should be a very last resort, and if it does come to that,  hopefully it'd be the freedom people versus the oligarchs rather than a mass civil war where a bunch of dumbasses kill each other while the oligarchy just laughs about it.

Free States/Slave States

 

Covaids has been an acid test for people's beliefs. Generally, it seems, people have no independent thoughts, especially when they're afraid, and can easily be led into confinement with even less complaints than a farm animal. When you combine that state of mind with a malignant or even just maternalistic government, it led to lockdowns and facemask wearing.

It was little more than a hunch by a handful of people that led to the facemask wearing. They thought it would "slow the spread" or whatever slogan, but in retrospect it seems like it did nothing at all except lead to a bunch of extra litter blowing around. If there really were a plague, the facemasks on the ground would be like bio-hazards, but since there's just the cold and flu season they're just like any other garbage.

Ohio's been proven to be a shitty state with shitty people running it. There's probably no more or less foolish and easily duped people than any other state, but the government is bad. It's sort of an approximation of an east coast Blue state, but is not quite as bad a Michigan or Illinois in that regard. The most blue states seem to be turning into versions of the soviet union with very heavy handed controls of individuals and businesses. Ohio's government, at least the governor, wants to turn into that too, but there's enough opposition that it probably won't happen as quickly as it will in the heavily blue states.

The states that are in the clear are shown in the chart above. Many of them did not go along with the covid narrative very much, and in one case, not at all (South Dakota). It's actually hard to come up with a common theme for the free states. Florida and Georgia, for example, don't match the other free states demographically, for example, and conversely there's other states that are really similar to the free states demographically, but which went to absurd lengths to control their population, e.g. KY.

If it's not demographics, what is it? I don't really know. I'm wondering if there's more corporate influence, that is corruption, in the slave states than in the free states. I know many of those states that are "free" also have decent government and are well managed fiscally, that is, they have a low debt per household and minimal government debt, or pension obligations. The worst managed states tend to be the most corrupt and corporate controlled. Ohio is one of those unfortunately.

I lived in Nashville in 2010. It is significantly different culturally from Ohio. I'd say it's more social and easy-going. For example, if you go to an outdoor restaurant in the city of Nashville there will probably be multiple people who have a well behaved dog sitting with them by their table and nobody is a busybody about it. There's no state income tax. Tennessee is literally the birthplace of the Jacksonian era, which was an implementation of the ideas of Thomas Jefferson, who's really the pro-freedom, pro-yeoman founding father. Ohio, on the other hand, is sort of a progenitor of this current corporate controlled federal government from its early history and is literally the home base of the Rockefeller family.

Right now, there's a pretty good smoke screen and enough confusion about what the covaids bullshit is about that the average person who's thoughtlessly going along with it can plead ignorance. However, as it becomes more obvious to even the dumb people that it's essentially a pretext for a new type of invasion, there will probably be a lot less forgiveness.

After WW2, the people who collaborated with the Vichy government in France were humiliated, chastised, treated like garbage, or were murdered and brutalized. Thousands of people who had collaborated with the Germans were just shot or killed by their neighbors.

The people who plan to make a living by controlling their neighbors movements with systems like vaccine passport apps should think twice about where that seemingly innocuous choice might lead.
