Bill Gates "Calculates"

 Recently Bill Gates said:

“Or it [the next plandemic] could be something that makes the leap from the natural world. The human population is growing and we are invading more and more ecosystems. That is why I calculate that there is a 50% chance that we will have a pandemic of natural origin in the next 20 years, as a consequence of climate change,” he added.

How would a person "calculate" that? What a clown show. People just accept it. If the interviewer asked, "Oh really! How did you calculate that?" Gates would have stammered. It's not even an issue of a lack of credentials--such a calculation is just not possible. What's the basis for it? If it's an entirely novel scenario, there's literally no model for it, and if there is it's just made up anyway.

Propaganda Makes the Government Look Dumb

I see a handful of news stories about the war in Ukraine every day. Several of them are completely made up propaganda stories. For some reason media in the USA lies about what's going on there. I think the government pays media outlets to run pre-fab stories. For example, a few weeks ago media were publishing made up stories about a Ukrainian ace fighter pilot who shot down Russian planes by the dozen--the story was totally fake. I think the majority of "news" about that war is similarly fake.

What's the point? It really doesn't matter what the US public thinks about the war in Ukraine. That won't change the outcome there at all. It only serves to undermine the US government and media for anyone that's actually paying attention.

There are two completely contrary narratives about Russia: one is it's totally weak and falling apart and being defeated single handedly by plucky Ukrainians and their actor and show biz led government. The other is Russia threatens everyone in the world with destruction because they're a giant, ruthless superpower. Well. Which one is it? If Russia "wins", what will all the media people say? Oops! We were "wrong" the whole time.

People in the US would be much better served by the actual truth, of course. It would help them make plans in their own life if they are somehow involved in eastern European affairs. Instead, ironically we have a soviet style government and media and a bunch of expensive lies. I assume the feds are spending millions of dollars on the propaganda.

Is the EU Retarded or Playing 6D Chess?

 The EU is trying to ban Russian oil and gas. In response oil prices spiked back over $120.

Russia will still sell oil and make more money.

Consumers in the west will be paying more. In fact there might be shortages because of it.

Is the EU retarded and run by corrupt and incompetent buffoons or is it playing 6D chess and pushing a strategy that only the biggest brains can see?

It's a Predatory System: People Don't Know They Are Prey

 I just read an article on a kid that racked up $250,000 in student loan debt.

$100,000 of that debt is interest.

The system is a total scam. People don't know they are prey. Families have gone generations without figuring it out. It's a predatory system. It is here to scam you into bad choices and turn you into a slave and take everything you own.

Psycho Jew Rampage in Jerusalem

 I disavow all the "abrahamic" religions. I have nothing to do with that. They're like a festering toxic waste dump humanity has been dealing with for thousands of years.

A particularly rancid display of the mind fuckery of those religions was on display in the assholy land when "jews" rampaged through Jerusalem and attacked randos for not being jews. (Here's a link to an article covering the story)

Those nationalist guys have been brainwashed for generations to think they are something they're not--their homeland, if anyone can be said to have a homeland on this Earth, is supposedly located in eastern Turkey, but they're convinced that they have a promise from their god to a particular corner of the Earth. Whatever.

Bully weak people because you're "chosen", but then if you get your collective ass kicked scream "anti-semitism" and attempt to rally the world behind your case. Gross.

Inbred Retards Killed Millions of People in WWI

In the early 20th century millions of young British, French, English, German and Russian men died in horrible ways and were maimed, crippled and disfigured of life because they listened to a bunch of inbred related retards at the head of their governments.

The "tsar" of Russia and the "king" of England look like clones. Wilhelm II was all fubared from inbreeding. They were all cousins. Millions of people, however, went to their death for the glory of their inbred leaders in their fancy costumes covered with fake military medals.

It's scary to think that today the masses are even dumber than in 1913, and there are way more of them. The same inbred genepools lurk in the shadows and pull the strings of our "public servant" officials as far as I can tell. Some of those families have been inbreeding for many centuries.

Government is the Biggest Killer; Communism is the Worst

 The death toll from communist governments around the world in the 20th century is around 100 million people. Some died from starvation, some were brutally an horrifically executed, and some died in conflict. They died because too many retarded people believed their lying sack of shit governments had their best interests in mind, or believed lying sack of shit government wannabees who promised them the moon and stars.

Ironically, the commie government in Russia from 1917ish on was run largely by Jewish people and they slaughtered tens of millions of people--mainly for racial reasons, but hardly anyone knows about that in the general public and I doubt Hollywood is going to make any movies about it any time soon to "educate" them on the topic.

The government wants to disarm the people in the USA because they want to steal our stuff with impunity and probably want to kill us all too. It's really that simple. The feds and some state governments are run by insane psychopaths. They lie all the time. Their plans are stupid and probably deadly. They want to live like kings and have no criticism or risk of imprisonment or even any risk of competition.

I think, unfortunately the USA is just about over.

Mom and Pop America Win Sometimes

If you look at a satellite photo of northeast Ohio, you can see the outline of my county manifested in physical form. You can spot the transition from urban sprawl to trees, lawns and fields.

On the west side of the county, there's a natural topographic feature--the Chagrin River--that forms a physical impediment to development, but on the north, it's due to policy that was set by the citizens of the county. Over the years there has been pressure to build commercial and higher density residential development, but it's been resisted.

It's not resisted by some organized corporate group, or non-profits, or anything like that. I think it's just a widely held goal to keep the county more rural, and that occasionally manifests in political or legal action to stop commercial and residential development projects through legal or administrative means. Even though there's no central coordinating intelligence, people have acted strategically to block future development, for example, by preventing the expansion of water and sewer infrastructure.

There's been criticism of this anti-development stance in Geauga county over the years, and debate about the merits of development, e.g. it would bring in more tax dollars. However, I think that strategy is mostly vindicated. To me, development and infrastructure expansion in adjoining counties looks like a sort of ponzi scheme that will lead to higher taxes and lower quality of life for residents. Infrastructure like city water and sewer are expensive to maintain and therefor, they often aren't, which can even lead to dangerous conditions. Infrastructure like roads and bridges fall into the same category.

The county is effectively shaped by and for the people who live there. Policy isn't directed by corporate interest, which is really pretty rare in the US and policy isn't directed by ideologues. In fact there is quite a bit of criticism about Geauga County from "liberal" academic organizations in northeast Ohio--they want to build infrastructure for poor people and want to tax the population heavily to redistribute wealth. If life was "easy" for poor and homeless people here, there would be more poor and homeless people here. It's not though--partly due to harsh winters with lots of snow.

I think, however, that the county's "go rural" strategy has been so effective that it will continue, and maybe even go harder in that direction in years to come. 

Mind Meld versus "Science"

In the broadest possible terms there are three types of "systems" I can think of:

• Open Loop
• The temperature of the surface of the moon is a good example. It slams from one extreme to another when it's in the light or dark.
• Controlled by a Plan
• The thermostat controlled temperature of a house is a good example of this. A computer or some electro-mechanical device turns a furnace or air conditioner on and off based on a measurement. There are countless examples of a computer, or a simple human-controlled "algorithm" controls something like the level of water in a dog bowl, or the amount of nitrogen in a farm's soil, or the interest rates of an economy, etc...
• Self Regulating
• Almost every living thing, and even ecosystems is self regulating. Blood pH, O2 saturation in the blood, and body temperature are examples from the human body. The temperature of the Earth is "self-regulating" compared to the surface of the moon. There's no obvious "plan" or algorithm at work coordinating the opposing mechanisms, but they operate to produce a stable equilibrium that can drift around over time.

How often and how much to eat is currently a problem for many people in developed countries--all kinds of food is available in abundance. People generally adopt an abstract "plan" to control their diet, that is they eat on a regular schedule, and eat an arbitrary amount even though their activity level might vary quite a bit day to day. Most people get overweight as a result (including me). Some might adopt "algorithmic" control of their weight and actually count calories and weigh themselves every day.

The propensity to adopt algorithmic control versus learning to "listen" to body cues is pretty telling. It's a pretty good example of how we generally tend to live in "the matrix", that is our internal Thomas Anderson experiences reality via a model, essentially.

The internal strawman is really an alien on Earth, even in the body. He speaks a different language. This simple example of "diet" is a good one to understand what I've been writing about for years. That strawman could, instead of developing an algorithm and model to control "weight", meld his consciousness with the ancient signals and language of his body.

In theory, that "language" of nature that's speaking to us about hunger is "out there" in nature too. 

Eating By Model

 People have observed female blue jays eating paint chips, in fact they've chipped the paint off house siding to do so. They do it during nesting season to get calcium. We put out ground up oyster shells for our ducks as a calcium supplement. They eat it during egg laying season, and leave it alone once they're done laying for the year, typically in the early winter months.

Somehow the birds have a craving signal that directs them to eat calcium rich things when they're laying eggs. It's pretty likely most animals have the same type of signaling mechanism, including humans. However, especially in developed nations where food is always available, that mechanism is not really used to determine when to eat, or what or how much to eat.

I think most people's diet is based, essentially on an abstract model. For some people, it's pretty ad hoc, in others it's meticulously planned. Vegans or Keto diet people follow fairly strict "rules" about what to eat, most other people, including me are omnivores and our diet is based on habit, corporate advertising, and cultural traditions.

Would it be healthier to eat based on cravings and hunger pangs? I don't really know. The abstract model diet, though, seems pretty faulty. It's most likely the cause for the prevalence of overweight people in the developed world. If people only ate when they were hungry, they'd gravitate toward a "natural" weight for them. That is, their weight would be regulated by their body rather than by an abstract conceptual plan that's most likely formed by corporate advertising and product placement in grocery stores.

People in developed countries are extremely far removed from nature, even in the sphere of their own body. The natural messaging of cravings and hunger pangs is extremely muted for me most of the time.

The way we eat, that is, by use of an abstract model, like an arbitrary three-meal-a-day schedule is a good example of trying to impose a "conscious control system" on a self-regulating system. Is the conscious control and abstract model able to produce a better outcome than going with the natural flow and cues provided by the body. That's a really good question.

Monkeypox: Another Plandemic?

 Last year there was a government "tabletop exercise" about a pandemic... Monkeypox that in the exercise took place in May 2022.

Here's a link to the document: https://www.nti.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/NTI_Paper_BIO-TTX_Final.pdf

How it really started:

Cults as the Norm

 I think I did a post on this topic a couple of years ago, but it comes up repeatedly, especially the past couple of years with covid so it's possible to add more detail.

Day-to-day life choices are pretty muddled. It's not possible to really know where the chain of small choices we make all the time will lead: health and happiness and wealth, or financial ruin, diabetes, or heart disease for example.

There are big pre-fab sets of ideas that purport to clarify this muddled mess. Religions, for example, help guide a person in their life choices, but omit really important information. Most religions are extremely out-dated and their general themes won't help a person make choices about technology or medical procedures--like should a woman get fake tits? Should man go into debt to buy a sports car? The lessons of religion provide really broad concepts, but they're so broad as to be unhelpful, and a person could probably find a priest or minister that will counsel them to take the materialistic course if they so desire and even site chapter and verse passages of the bible to back their claims.

There are much more specific cults today that purport to clarify the muddled mess with absolute precision, and I'm not talking about Scientology or some other quasi-religion, I'm talking about cults like the vegan cult or the keto cult or the electric car cult. These cults have "science" on their side in many cases, at least some specific versions of science.

In fact, cults are everywhere these days. It seems to be one of the favorite vehicles of advertising and propaganda. It's not such a surprise that's the case--cults eliminate choice, they're ultimately authoritarian and are all about mind control. The common people probably like that about cults too--it absolves them from responsibility; they can go on auto-pilot and follow the mob off the cliff.

The Electronic Gulag Hits Iran

Iran is suffering from severe shortages of food... Why this is all happening now is anyone's guess, I suppose they'll blame "covid" instead of the oligarch war, but whatever. In response the government is rolling out digital coupons as subsidies.

The government will offer citizens digital coupons that will allow them to access a limited amount of bread at subsidised prices, while the rest will be available at market rates. The bread scheme will come into force in about two months. The scheme will later include other goods such as chicken, cheese and vegetable oil, officials have said.

https://fbnglobalnews.com/news/irans-raisi-cuts-back-on-bread-subsidies/

We're on the entry ramp to the electronic gulag. It will probably show up last in the US.

Live free or die actually has some significance, now. You're going to be a slave in the e-gulag lorded over by some sack of shit like Bill Gates, or be free probably through a force of arms or will.

The Oligarch War

It's pretty clear to me that the oligarchy is waging war on all of us. Who's the oligarchy? I don't know exactly, but they are the people that seem to completely control western governments like the US and Britain and all the EU countries.

Here's an interesting article about how the UK is about to roll out more GMO food. It's very clear that the oligarchs want to replace the entire food supply system with a monopoly corporate controlled system. Bill Gates, for example, owns some company called BioMilq or whatever that produces artificial breast milk. One of his underlings is the CEO of that company. It's all through his tax shelter foundation.

The idea is factory produced food is miraculously more efficient and better than the natural products. That's just propaganda nonsense, but a bunch of people will get convinced it's true, and government lackeys will do their bit to subsidize, promote, and regulate competition out of existence.

Sanctions Hitting Europe and USA

The inept retard governments in Europe and the US are causing shortages over the war in Ukraine. Sure the war in Ukraine sucks and it's bad that Russia invaded the country. Putin is a gangster, etc... But you know who else are gangsters? Every other fucking government, especially in DC. The USA wars in Iraq ended up causing the death of 1+ million Iraqis... For what? ~shrug~ Really just to enrich scumbags like Cheney and Bush and the other cronies involved.

There might actually be diesel shortages in the USA due to the disruption of the fuel market caused not by the war, but by sanctions. Europe is in a worse position because they are vassals of the US/anglo empire and can barely set policies that could potentially benefit their people.

As far as I can see from YouTube videos posted by english speaking Russian people the sanctions are not adversely affecting mom and pop russians, which I think is a pretty good outcome. Collective punishment is evil. The people of most countries have zero control over their demented leaders. Should all jews be punished for the crimes of the Israeli government? People worldwide would flip their lids over that, but some are OK with collective punishment of Russians. Whatever.

Anyway, I imagine the various "shortages" in the west will eventually usher in some bullshit electronic control system, like a smartphone based rationing app. That should be fought tooth and claw, by the way, but it won't because people are addled losers now. We sort of deserve what's coming because we're so lame as a whole in the "west".

Where are these free western people I heard so much about growing up? I don't see them any place. I see tired, defeated slavish people.

Governments are Retarded

Supposedly there's a diesel "shortage" in the eastern USA. It has something to do with the war in Ukraine, and shifting fuel supplies around to sanction Russia.

Imagine if diesel really is in short supply in the USA in the coming months. The economy will implode--the real economy, too, not just the bullshit financial economy. That is, there won't be food.

Think about how screwed up the US economy is:

• Tesla cars, but no fertilizer;
• SpaceX but no diesel fuel;
• $7000 Battery powered lawn mowers but no food. 

My whole life the economy and the government have been getting more and more out of touch with reality. Maybe that's really about to change drastically... and by the way I don't mean the Feds will suddenly become useful.. no, people will be forced to detach from the crony, corrupt system and do something else, perhaps.

Fanbois of Military Dictators

There are still fanboi cults dedicated to men like Alexander "the Great", Julius Caesar, and Napoleon. At the same time, various military dictators like Stalin, Hitler, or even Attila the Hun have a bad stink that wafts down through all history. They're all the same, though.

The fanbois worship a PR creation that survived down through the ages. Various playwrights and movie producers in modern times reinforce ancient advertising campaigns to make new versions of old tropes. For example, Shakespeare puts a shine on Julius Caesar, or on figures like Anthony and Cleopatra. Alexander the Great is fluffed by historians and writers, but hasn't been the subject of any recent movie I am aware of.

I don't think there's any positive anglo PR for Attila the Hun. It's been negative since he first appeared on the scene and sticks with him through the ages. Some of the institutions that created that bad image, like the Catholic Church, are still around. In WWI the allies used "Hun" as a derogatory term form Germans.

It's quite amazing how these archetypes stick around for thousands of years and really play a strong role in shaping consciousness. I guess a figure like Alexander represents the juvenile concept of "Real Ultimate Power" and achievement.

It's informative to contrast that concept with advice from someone like Alan Watts about "just being", that is our purpose here on Earth is really just to exist.

Compilation of Theories on Crazy China Lockdowns

 The lockdowns in China make zero sense. Covid is no big deal and most of the rest of the world seems to understand that, so people try to come up with theories to explain it. Here's a brief selection:

• It's not about covid at all, it's about control over the Chinese people, and it's aimed primarily at Shanghai to stifle internal dissent.
• This one seems plausible
• It's not about covid; it's about covertly disrupting western supply chains.
• This makes no sense; lots of other ways to do that without hurting Chinese people.
• It is nominally about covid, but is insane because Chinese are obsessed with "face saving" and can't correct stupid policies.
• Seems plausible
• It's part of a broader agenda, e.g. The Great Reset and eventually "they" want to stamp out all freedom.
• Seems plausible

I don't think there's any way to know for sure.

One really interesting factor to keep in mind:

80% of Chinese debt is DOLLAR DENOMINATED. (link)

I did not know that until today. We're probably in the end game of the current world financial system and China is doing everything it can to reduce consumption for some reason I don't understand.

More Chinese Fighting Back

 I have no idea where this is, except I think it's in China based on the cheap green fence.

The people who were locked down said "fuck it" and kicked the fence down and got on with their life.

Zealotry as a Substitute for Wisdom

The human mind is pretty limited. The rational/verbal part of the mind seems the most hampered in a lot of ways--it relies on pretty crude models of nature to interpret experience--even the scientific models based on first principles are limited, distorted, and fail repeatedly.

The "wise" approach to life would recognize those limits. Humility and caution would be the typical stance on any given issue. Let's take abortion as an extreme case. When does life start? Does anyone really know for sure? No, not even in general, and it's even less apparent in a particular case. That said, I'm sure lots of women or girls who get an abortion know and feel that they're doing "evil" and suffer afterward for their choice. (That personal moral compass is probably the best thing to follow.)

Humility and caution are pushed aside in favor of extreme positions and zealotry. The zeal of partisans and the group-think/hive mind opinions replaces actual knowing. The same thing happened with covid.

Individuals should be extremely skeptical of political parties and movements, and mass opinion, just like they should be skeptical of their own ideas. On almost any topic, even really mundane things, a truly honest person will realize he knows very little. Take something prosaic like, "which brake pads should I use on my car?" It's possible, but slightly difficult to even come up with an answer for something simple like that, and even in this simple example, the person asking the question is forced to come up with fairly arbitrary and limited criteria to assess "best" versus "worst".

Chinese People are Fighting Back

In the past couple of days, videos and articles about Chinese people fighting back against oppression have popped up on social media.

In one video, villagers gather en masse and throw rocks at police. The story is, supposedly, the police were coming to enforce the harsh lockdowns in their town, just like in Shanghai, and the people were not having it. (Sometimes these videos are fake, or totally out of context by the way, so I won't post it here.) I would take it with a grain of salt, but a similar story is unfolding elsewhere with some better documentation.

Other videos show workers busting out of their factory/prison (where they make MacBooks). The Tesla factory in China had similar conditions, by the way. Workers there are putting in 12 hours a day 6 days a week on behalf of USA corporations, which is hard to even imagine doing indefinitely when you could go home or have a vacation once in a while, but in the circumstance where you are living in the factory, how is it any different than a prison camp?

It's good that the people finally stood up for themselves. That, apparently, is the answer of how far they could be pushed: Weeks of imprisonment.

History is a Giant Pile of Old Propaganda

The long serving foreign minister of Russia recently said that Hitler probably had jewish ancestry. I doubt anyone knows for sure. That theory has been out there for a long time. Is it possible? Sure, why not. There's plenty of pictures of Hitler making the "M" handsign. Some people believe it means "mason", some believe it means a person is really a crypto "jew", which is really extremely similar to being a mason, by the way and vice versa.

History regards Hitler as uniquely evil because of the concentration camp story. The concentration camp started with the evil British Empire and its merchant wars against dutch settlers in South Africa. It used women and children to "win" a war to get monopolies on gold and diamond mines for some homosexual businessmen. This sounds completely insane as a description, but is merely a terse recitation of the available facts.

The US put Japanese, German, and Italian families in concentration camps during WW2. It seems extremely likely that the unfortunate people who died in german concentration camps died of huger and disease because of the failure of germany in the war, rather than through some mass extermination program, which seems like post war propaganda and makes no sense. The concentration camps were evil, and detaining jews there was just as evil as detaining Japanese people in US concentration camps.

Hitler sucked. He caused the slaughter of millions of germans and slavs and destroyed Germany and made it a vassal of the USA and England. WW2 led directly to the creation of Israel.

Does it mean anything if Hitler is a jew? No. There's not some unique brotherly solidarity among jews or any other group. Did anything good come out of WW2. No. WW1 and WW2 marched people of the world toward a giant prison camp. The barbed wire is just starting to get more obvious now.

I think there's zero truth to be had in the stories of "official" history. That said, I don't think you can ever really know what happened with any certainty as an outsider. It's all just speculation, except for the people who were really there in the rooms where plans were discussed candidly by "leaders". Even historians who meticulously compile documentary evidence of this or that event have no clue--it's really just another form of speculation that's not really better informed than wild eyed "conspiracy theories".

Why did Sergey Lavrov make that statement about Hitler? It makes no sense, really. He's a very polished, intelligent public figure. I doubt he makes any statement in public without a calculated reason. There's no obvious overt reason to bring up the Hitler was a Jew meme in his public, official capacity.

I think whipping up tropes that jews believe are anti-semitic helps reinforce the anti-semitism cunard. There's a (former) youtuber brother Nathaniel who pretends to be a Russian orthodox christian. He's an actor. He basically recites the historical charges against jews over and over again even though he is the most obviously jewish person on the planet. I think it's likely that his paid job is to recite those charges to keep them in the public consciousness. It helps keep the "anti-semitism" idea alive, and keeps normie white people afraid of being labelled "anti-semite".

According to this theory, Lavrov is just another puppet on the world stage. So Russia is too. They're just playing a game to slaughter more millions of people.

How Carvana Makes Everyone Poorer

The previous post described how the neoliberal scam makes everyone poorer. Here's a more concrete example: Carvana.

Carvana has a lot of  Wall Street funny money. Their business: buying and selling used cars. It's a financialized wall street version of a corner car lot.

Carvana looses oodles of money, but its executives make a mint. They pocket about $3M in compensation when the average employee makes $30,000-ish. The BOD of Carvana pockets about $400,000 per year for scratching their asses.

All the wall street funny money went into buying used car inventory. Now a beater car costs $5000 instead of $1000. I saw a craigslist post advertising the same type of truck I paid $1500 for five years ago for $7500.

The executives get rich. The wall street bankers who loaned them money and underwrote their stock sales get rich. Everyone else gets shafted by devaluing the currency. Nothing of value was created by that enterprise. It really just shifted some energy and production to a handful of people.

Carvana will probably be bankrupt before the year is over.

How People Got Poor Since 1971

There are a lot of documentaries on YouTube explaining how neoliberalism/financialization or whatever you want to call it made everyone poor (except the 1%). It's actually extremely simple.

Money comes from banks and other financial activity like "selling stock".

The bankers have the first cut of the newly minted money. They lend it into existence. They pocket a reliable amount of no-risk money and have done that for a long time. It accelerated in 1971, but they've been doing that for hundreds of years.

Currently, corporations have the second cut of the newly minted money. The executives pocket a reliable amount of no-risk money and have done that really only in recent decades. A really great example of this is provided by the corporate lawyer at twitter who makes $17M a year--for what? Shrug. She's there with a bucket to get a scoop of the funny money cash and the rest of the scumbags in the twitter hierarchy are probably doing the same. Corporations really have a symbiotic relationship with the banks.

Corporate employees get the third cut. A lot of the money flowing through a corporation is from financial activity rather than sales revenue. Some companies lose money perpetually but always have funds.

The government is just another corporation, and generally speaking its employees have a better deal overall than corporate employees in terms of compensation and benefits.

Everyone else in the economy gets the scraps and leftovers. They have third or fourth or fifth hand access to the wall street funny money. 

The System is Evil

I recently did some work for a woman who raises chickens and sells their eggs. She has a lot of chickens and other animals. The place hums with good energy. It's not some fancy hobby farm, it's a pretty ordinary house on a pretty ordinary property on a rural side road. In fact, all along that particular road, and in the general neighborhood people have gardens, horses, more chickens, and on and on. That's really the way it should be.

Humans are not made to live in cities that require factory farms. The system itself is evil and unnatural in the extreme. It's held together with lies and violence.
