    I think little cosco is operating on quite a high level, and I send my kudos to it and its handlers.
    Admirable, in a way.

    The rulers’ goal seems to be to destroy any trust or solidarity between persons
    or any larger groups. That’s how it looks to me, and this here darpaNet is a superb
    tool for making that happen.

    So Our Rulers have chosen Billionaire Elon Musk as the “free-speech saviour of humanity”. JH Kunstler seems to be swallowing that line, anyway, though he never seems to notice that none of his predictions ever, ever come true (except resource depletion).

    We’ll see how it goes. 😉

    Chuck Berry said he nicked quite a bit of his stuff from Wynonie Harris.
    Listening to the latter you can hear it, and I like them both very much.

    Maybe I missed it, AFKTT: I tend to scroll past the thousand-word comments.

    My impression is that there can be no solidarity as long as this here darpaNet (a one-way window into the many’s thoughts, which can be infiltrated and subverted in an instant, no?) is the primary medium of discourse. That seems to me to fit the facts, so far.

    Original source for V. Arnold’s link:

    I am baffled as to why anyone links to Zero CIA Hedge when there is an orginal source available. Zero Hedge links evaporate like water.

    I’m pretty sure the “trust deficit” I’ve mentioned is not an accident, and pointing it up will not
    be beneficial for some, especailly for good-hearted people who want to assume the best in others.
    I don’t really know what to say about that, except Time tells much.

    It seems to me that the wordsmiths on this here darpaNet have about run their course. What further
    employment opportunities will they find?

    Making word-chaff, gibberish is their goal; a place where words have no durable meaning.
    Notice their cotton candy language, which melts when you try to parse it; also, the prevalence
    of images and “videos” over text.

    Since it’s on the darpaNet it can be changed in an instant, and there is no recourse of significance.

    That’s one of the reasons this medium was created… as some will find out only later, through their
    “smartphone”, which runs their life.

    Good to see little cosco paying quick attention. Remember back when that one was from a dude from the midwest (w/ the mask photos, right?); then later a “single mom”; then yet later a man in the PNW?

    Here is a link to some reviews of the Ockeghem / Clerks’ disc I mentioned above. YMMV, since it’s art.
    To have heard this one first might have been better.

    When will one of this site’s many explainers- eloquent, they are! if long-winded, always typo-free, with their well-marshaled but finally cotton candy arguments ( is there a There, there?) turn their *vast* expertise toward the real issue: What is to be *done*, in the face of this well-coordinated, long term project against the great majority of the world’s humans? *Why do The Explainers focus entirely on what’s being inflicted by the rulers* (we KNOW, dudes..) , rather than positive actions? The former leads only to hand-wringing helplessness..

    The next recording of Ockeghem’s Requiem, and other very good music from that period, is the one by The Clerks’ Group / Edward Wickham, recorded in 1996. I’ve had it for a few years without really taking to, or getting it, but suddenly this one seems
    special. From time to time I think they could let the music breathe a little more, but maybe keeping the momentum was more the focus; also, I probably imprinted on the Hilliards’ slower recording. There is much more than the Requiem on this disc, and I’m still exploring that part.

    flora has a few good ones over at NC. good to read that flora is a bike rider; it’s a very grounding thing to do, as those who do it regularly know-without-knowing. MWC wrote deeply on that topic; hard miles make the Rider.

    What groups are currently doing the best planning- and for whose benefit? Why are are said groups pushing hard for “diversity” of others, but not for themselves?

    Is “diversity” a good in itself, and if so, why?

    I got hints of that when I was there in ’86, but the early stages of these programs can be hard to comprehend, Their planners have quite an edge in that way.

    That ‘Non-Existent European Identity” piece is (more) intentional misdirection.
    It’s not a new “European” identity that being imposed, it’s a non-identity: “You are all cattle; cattle without place, or time, or, for that matter, any identifiable characteristic.” Corrections to my hypothesis are welcome.

    Persistent and adequately pervasive propaganda works; that’s why it’s inflicted.

    > Is going to be another fatal wound to trust and confidence. <

    Is that an accident? As Mister Clinton said, thirty years ago: “where are they gonna go?”

    Using the Democrat half of the duopoly to do the rulers’ dirty work was quite a clever move.
    Self-discrediting (by those with a media profile™, I mean) is the order of the day, it seems to me.

    The next recording I got (I’d love to hear Ockeghem’s Requiem in concert, but have not) was Pro Cantione Antiqua’s from 1973 with Bruno Turner (Archiv). For now it’s my favorite, despite its midrangey sound. Less perfect than the Hilliards by a long way, it has the breath of life, rather than reeking of Heaven. I’m tempted to get some kind of EQ-stuff to try to give it more sound on each end, but probably won’t. It’s good.

    “FTX” = “Look Over There!”

    What are we not looking at, while we’re looking at “FTX” ? In other news. Mister Stoltenberg intones that there
    will have to be a “negotiated settlement” regarding The Ukraine (and other places, just watch).

    Gawd, it’s all so predictable- that’s because it was decided long ago. See “script”..

    Our rulers are driving us quite deliberately into a New Dark Age, with “Wokeness” being quite a useful wedge for that job. They are not, in my estimation, “stupid”, or “incompetent”; to the contrary, I think their plans are
    working well. Those who plan seem to do better than those who don’t.

    Ockeghem’s Requiem bacame a focus after listening to quite a bit of Josquin Desprez, mostly as recorded by A Sei Voci. I wanted to get a little bit in touch with music before Josquin, dipping my toe in, so got the Hilliard Ensemble’s 1985 recording. It seemed like a good place to start, and sometime seems like it will be a good place to finish, too. The sound is deep, blended, with top-notch intonation, and emphasis on the long line. Despite that blending, the voice leading is clear. Who knows what the composer intended, but I got the idea that more was still to be found in this piece.

    In other news, Novak Djokovic d Casper Ruud on Sunday in the final of tennis’s year end Championships in two fairly tight sets, 7-5 6-3. I’ve been reading a biography of Roger Federer lately, and Djoker comes off quite well in it. Ruud we’ll be hearing more of, I think, along with the young Dane, Holger Rune.

    I’ve been looking for The Part that’s Not Theater for some time now. As far as I can tell, it’s not reported on this here DarpaNet. Lots of photos of and diktats from comic Zelensky and his ilk, though.

    I really should have tried to somehow monetize the term “Explaining Class” when I coined it, several years ago.
    That’s how the sordid game is played.. Jeff W got it right away, though, and that was good enough.

    I’m hoping one of our ubiquitous online Explainers will explain which part is Theater, and which part (if any) is not.
    My working assumption- mostly unshared, it seems- is that it’s All Theatre, until proven otherwise.

    Tomorrow: “Zelensky™’s immaculate, Alien Love-Child!”, and stuff like that. And you’ll believe it, though I won’t.

    ..any new word on the “blowing up” of the Nordstream pipelines?

    “oh, that’s *so* last week..”

    Cool- but did it happen? I don’t know, myself, not having seen adequate evidence, evidence, evidence.
    Evidence is good, and rarely seen these days. I’ll stick with my sketchy hypothesis that the rulers’ goal
    (for now) is to make *all things unverifiable* via creation of so much absurd DarpaNet chaff.
    That’s how it looks to me, at this time.

    Agreed that talk is cheap. That’s why my motto is >>> Go Look <<<, as opposed to clicking on yet another cotton-candy link, and its consequent, wordy diatribe- which will be replaced by another, equally compelling one tomorrow. “And around, and around, and around..” as my not-susceptible-to-bullshit parents used to say..

    “but ZeroHedge told me!” Ok, go with that.
