    The Covidia Davosian Casino (CDC) hides the cards, deals the hands and tells you how much you lost. Your only job is to keep filling the pot.

    Arguing with government about the conditions under which it’s practitioners are morally justified in enslaving, harvesting, culling or disposing of you or anyone else is literally giving them permission to do so when they decide to.

    Criticizing CDC about their vax, the Fed about their monetary policy or the Spies about their Truth Control is comparable to a condemned prisoner arguing with his executioner about which rope to use.

    Life is a bass akwards sort of race in which the objective seems to be coming in dead last.

    To attain that objective it may be occasionally necessary to help some others across the finish line.

    Today’s basic math lesson will be on the topic of statistics :

    If 50 % of a population is “vaccinated” against a virus , and 50% the population is not vaccinated , and the two halves intermingle willy nilly for months, and the resultant infections are found to occur in approximately equal numbers of both cohorts, then the “vaccine” is , at best, 100% fucking useless . It is OPERATIONALLY ineffective. Meaning that when applied in the REAL world it does nothing to actually resolve the problem it was meant to solve. It does not matter one lone iota how good it looks!
    The dog won’t hunt. It’s as worthless as a lifeboat that doesn’t float. Little wonder that its success rate is comparable to that of deployimg Theatrical Prop body armor to both sides of a gun fight . . . and makes roughly the same amount of sense.

    Here’s an entrprenurial stroke of genius (or maybe it’s the other kind) idea for turning TEOTWAWKI into a hands-over-fists money making bonanza:

    A “Disneylandish” theme park laid out in a maze-like arrangement of streets, rides and other attractions . . . but in which everything the visitor sees, hears or buys has a 60 % probability of being false, misleading or broken. Charge visitors to the park their entire life earnings to get in , and leave it up to them to find a way out.

    Challenge accepted. Here’s a new topic auditioning for the role of TAE Obsession Of The Moment :

    Any of you here old enough to remember the term “Assymetric Warfare” ? It was quite the rage 20+ years ago but seems to have fallen out of fashion. Not to be fully conflated with the the term “Unconventional Warfare” the two share many characteristics, and along with good old blood drenched “Conventional Warfare” pretty well cover the gamut of large scale mayhem.

    In any case, here is the question : Are we now experiencing “real deal” , world wide, Assymetric Warfare ? And if so, who are the combatant parties and what are their respective vectors of force projection? Basically, who is fighting, what does each want, and how are they going about smiting their enemies and protecting their home turf?

    The so-called “Davos Crowd” (oligarchs, Global Elites, Illuminatti Lizard Lords, whateveryawannacallits) drastic plans and efforts to change practically everything should be recognized as their insider’s view of how well they think their current system of wealth, power and control is running. Not so good, I think. They would see no compelling reason to fuck with success and change it all if they saw the existing system (THEIR chosen system) lasting very much longer. It’s a sort of inadvertant confession of total failure and expectation of impending collapse.
    Their “suggestions” about what we should all do next is also a confession of sorts. It is their estimation of what they think it would take in order for them to go on being in charge and actually running the show for their own benefit. They’re the ones who have the experience of having and using power, so they should know. Please notice how drastically literally everything would have to be re-aligned, reassigned and redfined . . . just for them to remain at the helm and not be annihilated . Do YOU think 7.5 billion people can change that much in available amount of time ? Maybe with a Sci Fi level genetic re-coding . . . the extra special fast acting kind. Otherwise nope. I’m fairly sure we’re safe on that count for a little while longer.
    Frankly, I’m pretty sure that they are right about the collapse and right again about what it would take for them to remain in charge, and totally fucking delusional about the whole world changing that much that fast without disintegrating into hot bits and pieces like an obsolete satelite re-entering the atmosphere . Physics wins. Delusion ends in a fiery disintegration. And folks on the ground go back to the business of getting through this day and planning for the next.
    I ain’t saying those megalomaniacs are not homicidal lunatics, nor suggesting that you should do nothing about them to protect yourself. What I’m saying is that they SHALL fail, are failing now, at an increasingly spectacularl rate, and advise you to not be in in the debris zone as they fall. That ain’t easy, I know, because we’re in a bit of a pickle, aren’t we ? We are ALL caught in what I call a “Truth Trap/Lie Trap” . If the lies are exposed and the truth comes out then they are toast. But if the lies prevail then WE are. It’s a life & death , existential, sort of fight. Best avoided. But once it gets started (like now) then Katie bar the door.
    So, yeah, it’s pretty serious . . . but I thought it worth reminding y’all that the Bad Guys (who as insiders have a much less obstructed view of the numbers and battle plans) see themselves as losing. Gotta agree with ’em on that point, at least. See? It’s possible to find common ground in ANY argument.

    In these days of ubiquitous all encompassing surveillance, ultra-super-duper computers, AI’s and such, how amusing it would be if the Oligarchy turned that Tech against each other. Come to think of it, wouldn’t they eventually be forced to do so out of necessity?
    Come to think of it yet again, how could they possibly not be doing so already? Homicidal psychopaths are not really FRIENDS kinds of friends, and off one another without a tear when supremacy is at stake. Who will be Overlord is obviously up for grabs, don’tcha think?
    Now that Covid and “vaccines” have finally removed the last obstacle ( the Rule of Law ) the race is on, and clearly there are absolutely no holds barred.
    What an amazing time to be alive. I think we may be witness to the War of Kings .
    Good time to be alert. Also to shed any preconceived “feel good” delusions that may be clouding one’s awareness of what IS, and what is really and truly going on around us.

    4 Rules For Happy Living

    1. The world (Reality , Truth, the Universe, whatever ya wanna call it) is what it is and does what it does. You are in that world, right now, whether you like it or not., and there is no quarter asked or given.

    2. To last for very long, you better figure out what the fuck Rule #1 is all about. . . and pronto.

    3. Based on how things go with Rule #2 , you also better act upon what you now believe or strongly suspect to be real (or True, etc.). You have absolutely no choice. You SHALL act, and you always will.

    4. To evaluate how these rules are working out for ya, see Rule #1, and adjust your knowledge, actions, results and consequences accordingly.

    Doomer porn, like all porn, sells best to audiences with no personal experience of the real thing. And I think I can safely deduce that no one in today’s audience has experienced the end of the world.

    There are commercial advantages to this form of publication and idea propagation, the first of which is that no one in the audience can prove the authors wrong in any of the alleged details. The second big advantage is that in the unlikely event of TEOTWAWKI actually happening there won’t be many disappointed customers to drag ya into court for misrepresentation.

    I look at it this way. Contemplation of Doomsday is fun, entertaining, and constructive. Done properly it gets ya thinking about changing your low-down-ways so as to assure the survival of ones self and loved ones . Wanna be the ” Last Persons Standing” ? Then clean up your act. The sort of compelling motivation to self improvement that we could all use more of. Helps sell a lot of survival goods and hardware too, so there’s that.

    My only problem with the genre is that I have yet to see even one example of it in which the victims behave like actual living breathing functioning human beings, for whom the instinct and impulse to survive surpasses all other instinctual drives.

    This oft overlooked characteristic of life explains the miracle of Fukushima. A 20 foot high wall of water unexpectedly swept over a densely built up coastline housing millions of people, destroying half a million structures in minutes and yet killed less than 20,000 people and negatively impacted GDP by less than half of a percentage point. How is that even possible ?

    When confronted by reality, people get real. . . . real fast.

    ref : ” to attribute membership to an underclass as being related to intelligence is questionable. ”

    Who said anything about “underclasses” ? Who said anything about IQ being related to class ?
    Historians can do that if they wish, but I ain’t them and they certainly ain’t me. Please don’t alter my statement and then find fault with the altered version. It’s annoying.

    I don’t think you understood what I wrote . I’ll restate one of the points ( not a full rehash of the whole rant) using different words. Let’s take IQ for example. It’s a fuzzy concept that everybody understands fairly well, intuitively. It means how smart an individual is. In many of life’s challenges (like acquiring money or gaining power) smart people have an advantage over less smart people. Smart people tend to succeed in certain tasks more often and to higher degrees than do less smart people. There are many factors effecting success, but IQ is definitely a major one. Consequently there will be more smart people at the powerful end of the scale and more unsmart people on the powerless end of the scale (we can’t all be from Lake Wobegon, where all the children are above average. )

    I don’t side with any of of the prefab definitions of class, category or ideology. I’m an autistic raised in the woods by wolves.

    Oops. Just noticed that I didn’t fully answer your direct question of whether II thought AOC is weak intellectually. I think she is weak ethically, but she ain’t no dummy. I would guess her IQ at 120, + or – 5. Not too hard to look at either. In summary : better than average brains, good looks, rich friends and absolutely no moral compas whatsoever , I’d say she has a long political career ahead of her.

    I’ve respectfully read and listened to and understood a lot of the works of Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky , and quite a few other folks both left and right of the center line who have remarkably high IQ’s (and some even higher than mine !!) Mao Zedong was clearly a military and political genius, judging from his successful rising from powerless peasant farmer to virtual Emperor of China. He climbed from powerlessness using Communist strategy , and he kept his power by being a ruthless authoritarian dictator. One of the swiftest and longest shifts from Left to Right in recorded history, although Hitler, Stalin and a couple others might give him a good run for the money .

    Have you noticed that the furthest extremes of the Left/Right spectrum . . . the polar opposites . . . are virtually the same thing ? That isn’t a coincidence.

    @Dr D

    I’m not saying that the power strategies preferred by the Left are good strategies in an all encompassing moral sense of the word “good” . I’m saying that the powerless ( or shall we say “power deficient”) tend to use certain strategies because the strategies are effective for powerless people to use. For example, the little kids in a playground can gang up on an individually powerful bully and drive him from their playground.

    It’s to be expected that (as strategists) the Lefties tend to be a few bricks short of a load. That is a major factor in how they got to be powerless in the first place. But it’s certainly not the only factor, and it is also true that not all of their complaints about oppression, exploitation and filthy rich people are wrong. Far from it.

    If the Chinese Communists , for example) were to take over and strip you of everything you own (because you are a Doctor and an outspoken Conservative) and reduce you to powerlessness by means of force, theft, censorship and targeted laws . . . well you would be forced by reality itself to adopt strategies for recovery that were VERY “Leftist” in nature (such as ganging up in secret with similar thinking victims and conspiring with them to find ways and means of stealing your stuff back from those who had stolen it from all of you in the first place.)

    What I’m saying, in general, is that as people gain capability (for whatever reason) their thinking and action shifts to what we call the “Right” , and when they lose capability (for any reason at all) their thinking shifts “Leftward”.

    That’s all.

    You will, of course and as expected, find a bit more stupidity on the “Left” because below average IQ is a fairly big contributing factor to powerlessness.

    @my parents said know

    It’s just fascinating ain’t it ? We know that the Big Guys absolutely must stop the populist rebellion that has clearly breached the gates of the counterfeit empire. Failure to staunch the hemorrhage ends in certain death for the empire. And yet the bleedout continues unabated… so far ! What weapon will the empire finally use to kill these peasants ? At first I was sure the weapons would be exclusion, censorship and ban. Now I’m thinking it might be a little more “High Tech” .

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and make a straight up prediction. I predict that the empire will use its near total ownership-control of the Internet (wires, servers, mainframes ,software, networks and everything) to route ALL buying and selling of stock (etc) through a new and proprietary FIREWALL, which allows approved traffic to go through and non-approved traffic to NOT go through. Only government approved trades (buys and sells) would be able to enter or leave the actual market (if you could even call such a monstrosity a “market”).

    We are fast approaching the state of affairs in which the worlds entire “official” economy is nothing but an enormous computer simulation of a market. Members get paid. Non members will get bupkis (or less). No more uncertainty or stock market crashes !! No more of a lot of things, actually.

    @Tree Frog

    The Republican’s rhetoric (and phony public image) is “Rightish” and the Democrat’s’ rhetoric (and phony public image) tries to be as “Leftish” as they can manage. In the end it is only their actions that really matter or reveal side of the so-called center they’re really on. In other words, it’s not unusual for them to speak with forked tongue. Watch what they do, instead. Labels can be a little bit helpful, but only a little. It all looks confusing because we’re overloaded with rhetoric, propaganda , phony images and labels . . . being originated from their higher ups .

    To see which side of the divide an individual is really one just watch their feet, hands and money management. The powerless who want more will tend to adopt Leftish strategies as the most effective means competing with a more powerful adversary. The powerful will tend towards Rightish strategies (Rightish) to put down the challengers and retain what they feel is rightfully theirs.

    Who’s got the power and who don’t ? What strategies are their preferred strategies. Chairman Xi , for example spouts Communist propaganda (words and theater) like a Renaissance fountain . . . but he’s a straight up Nazi in his thoughts , deeds and financial affairs.

    The ones to really look out for are the ones who play both ends against the middle. They don’t discriminate much, they’re happy to eliminate or anyone , by getting a Lefty or Righty to do it for them. What can ya say ? They’re psychopaths.

    While you’re burning the hapless Dr D at the stake let me throw another torch onto the pyre. (my apologies Doc) . Doc has a good mind and an honorable heart but he also has an ideological disability : he’s ideological . He’s conservative (i.e. good) and his opponents are liberals (i.e. not so good. Bad, even) Controlling his behaviors is as easy as threatening his ideological position. If I own all of the mass media and most of the Internet that’s awfully easy to do. Just cram the comm waves with stories about millions of un-vetted illegal non-English speaking socialist Democrat voters are streaming across the Southern border to lower wages, drain the social welfare system, screw things up in general and and pave the roads to full blown communism. Bam ! He’s up in arms spoiling for a fight.

    I can do the same thing to the other side, the Liberals. All it takes is 24/7 saturation bullshitting about those scary fuckin’ MAGA rednecks. I can say anything I want to. No lie too big no truth too small. Scaring the pants off Liberals is ( literally !) child’s play. I bet there’s more than one soft-hearted semi-commie who is wracked by the guilt of sleeping with a hand gun on the nightstand because they actually are terrified that tattooed right wing hillbilly’s are about to violently overthrow the government.

    See where I’m going with this ? There is NOT just the Left and the Right. They’re just the slave labor. It’s the THIRD category that runs the show, and they control the action by playing those two sides against each other. Slick, really, when ya think about it. I haven’t come up with a really catch label for them just yet. Taibbi’s “vampire squid ” ain’t bad . . . just takes too long to say.

    Anyway, getting back to the topic, There is logic and there is ideologic. Logic is better because it can flex to accommodate reality. Ideology, on the other hand, and even in the hands of a genius, is like brittle iron. Strong only to its limit . . . and then shatters in useless bits.

    There is about to be more action than anyone ever wanted, not even the Bad Guys .

    Incidentally, and what I did not get around to saying in my previous post, the Bad Guys ( Team Squid, if you will) are the amoral operators ( just another category of human being) who have mastered the dark arts of controlling both “Left” AND ” “Right” (at once and in tandem) for their own benefit. It’s easier than pie . It’s easier by far than you think. Only moderately normal intelligence is required, BUT there is one very big catch. To do it well the operator must be legally insane ( i.e. unable to tell the difference between right and wrong). In a word : psychopath.

    @Mr. House

    Yeah. As you said, that old “Left” and “Right” thing rears its shaggy head at the strangest times, doesn’t it ? Wonder why that is.

    Left and Right are not simply fuzzily ill-defined political labels. They are the broad sweeping terms we use to categorize life’s strategy preferences. “Left” describes strategies which favor the powerless, and “Right” designates those which help those with some power to hang on to it.

    Of course, as the powerless gain strength they start doing stuff to keep what they have attained. In other words, they start acting like the Right-wingers they originally accused of doing the same damned thing.

    Same goes for the other side, the so-called “Right”. As the once powerful fall from omnipotence they are forced by reality itself to adopt “Lefty” strategies, such as ganging up , grabbing free money and hyper-organizing to enable them taking down a more powerful foe.

    That’s why the Chinese proverb advised , ” Choose your enemies carefully, for you shall become them.”

    And so it goes. Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop . Back and forth. The revolving cycle used to take centuries. Now it takes merely years (Thanks for the help, Internet ). Incidentally , it was the Internet that upset the delicate balance this time around. It’s swift, cheap and ubiquitous enablement of communications between common folk suddenly gave populists a very disproportionate advantage. The powerful saw the threat coming, and their solution was to take even more power away from the already powerless, who became genuinely alarmed, etc. etc. etc. You get the picture.

    In its most visibly active phase we call this oscillation a Revolution ! . . . but in actual fact it has always been a perpetually ongoing thing. Lot’s of metaphors. Very few solutions. Only ONE solution, actually.

    That only solution is for you to understand it . Force yourself to become aware of what IS , and what the hell is going on around you. You cannot end the swinging of the pendulum between power and powerlessness . . . but with massive quantities of awareness and wisdom you can , eventually, restore an almost acceptable balance. . . and not get cut in half by the pendulum as it sweeps past us there in the pit we’re all trapped in.

They will cut it off and shut it out. ( I refer to the Trump/MAGA populist uprising.) . Team Squid OWNS the machine. It will censor, block and criminalize the communications network ( i.e. the Internet ) that made it possible in the first place. New laws and old tricks are being strategized for swift implementation at this very moment.

    And in this manner the insane will both delay the immediacy of the coming Global Civil War , and make it more inevitable, uncontrolled, and violent. Those who the gods would destroy they first make powerful. The insanity part is just a consequence of that. . . as is the “destroyed” part.

    In other words, don’t shoot where they WERE , shoot where they are going to be when the bullet arrives. LEAD THE TARGET ! GAMESTOP is fine and great, please do continue. But do you think for an instant that the squids are going to just let that stand ? You KNOW they will counter attack with everything they’ve got. , so what you all should be doing NOW is launching strikes that are pre-emptive to the predictable moves that they are going to make. (That they have already started making, actually)
    Side Note: vampire squid are virtually devoid of innovation and creativity ( to use old Hippy Speak, it’s just “not where they’re at”). First they will de-voice, de-platform and censor. Then they will put heads on pikes as warnings to others. Then they will pass bat-shit-crazily-unjust-laws. And finally they will neutralize and/or murder Ring Leaders. Expect suicide rates to uptick for a while.

    It’s a war. Bad guys fight back with the power and weaponry at their disposal. Shoot them THERE.

    P.S.
    Thank you for the supportive thoughts, words and sentiments after my last (and probably a little too snarky, posting here.) I’m off again for a while. I have some extremely time consuming work ahead of me. I promise to lurk faithfully , and maybe even post from time to time.

    Oops, I almost forgot (forgive the fib). What’s a Going Away Party without a song ? I reckoned that our sweet sorrow should be commemorated with music.  The chorale is performed from the view point of your new Eurasian Techno-Commie bosses( plus good old Joe ! ) and is sung to the tune of  “Winter Wonderland” .  For best effect ,  imagine this swan song of democracy being crooned in the powerfully honeyed tones of Johnny Mathis.

    NSA, they ‘re a-listenin’
    Bankers’ eyes, are a-glistenin’
    The people in fright
    We’re happy, alright
    This is our dark winter wonderland.

    Privacy is a new word
    Lies Are Truth, haven’t you heard?
    When we say it’s wrong
    You best play along
    Cause this is our dark winter wonderland.

    In the Whitehouse we can put a straw man
    You pretend he’s sane and loves the poor
    He’ll ask how you like all the policemen
    Now that they are breaking down your door !

    So be good, don’t conspire
    Don’t say we are all liars
    The payoff’s been made
    Too bad, I’ m afraid
    That this is our dark winter wonderland

    Is the “bottom up revolution” illustrated by the Game Stop short squeeze the utterly unforeseen Black Swan we have yearned for these oh so many years? Will the Globalist psychopaths bankrolling the destruction of civilization finally be checked by the Common Man (&/or other gender?) Will Wall Street vampire squids get their legs cut off at last ?

    Nope.

    The squids may be scared shitless at the moment ( they ARE scared shitless ) but they will soon come to their senses and shoot that dusky old swan exactly the same way that they did with the last populist uprising. They will cut it off and shut it out. ( I refer to the Trump/MAGA populist uprising.) . Team Squid OWNS the machine.

    I reckon less than one tenth of 1 percent of the general population has INSTANTLY twigged to the implications of the Game Stop kerfuffle . . . but they soon will . And those who see how it must play out will spread the word . . . too little, too late, as usual.

    Trump/MAGA was round 1 , the Chinese Bio Warfare attack was round 2 , the fraudulent election takedown of the American Empire (bloodless coup) was round 3 , global Internet censorship (Twitter, Google, et al ) was round 4 , and we are now looking at the first really big punch thrown in round 5 (collapse of the global money system).

    Round 5 will end in expulsions, amputations and restrictions that will prevent future attempts to pull off “Game Stop Style” attacks.

    Round 6 will be uncontrolled, uncontrollable, and chaotic internecine violence by millions of good people who haven’t the slightest fucking notion of what is actually going on around them. The vast majority will simply be trying to prevent themselves from being murdered by stupid people.

    I count among those clueless and hapless people pretty much everyone of you on this fine blog. To make myself unambiguously clear, yes, I am calling you out as clueless, hapless, self-absorbed idiots.

    There ! That bridge should burn nicely. Won’t have too many fans around these parts anymore.

    Hopefully, ripping into me with all of your individual and collective revenge lust will wake you the fuck up.. Ridicule me ! Prove me wrong. Prove me stupid ! Prove me an arrogant asshole with self delusions of superiority. Maybe the blood lust will increase the blood flow to your starving brain cells.

    P.S.
    You should be flattered. You’re part of a tiny handful of people smart enough that I even bother to insult you.

    Good bye TAE, it was engaging. I’ll lurk from time to time to see if this had any effect, but I doubt that it will. I won’t be posting again unless there is a noteworthy response, which I doubt . On a human emotion level, there’s a bunch of ya that I really like personally . That’s why I try to slap you back into consciousness.

    Good Conspiracy Theory Wanted

    I could really use one right now. Hell, I’d settle for a half-baked hypothesis or lame explanation. Whatever it takes to make any kind of sense out of the events of the past few years , and especially the past couple of months.
    I’m not going to itemize some fucking list . You know ’em by heart. But I will mention that the whole damned thing is made up of events that no one from around these parts had ever seen happen before, and so did not really believe would ever happen. And then they happened. One after another, sometimes stacking up two or three deep. A lot of folks are stunned. I sure am.
    Unbelievable ! But when something happens, and becomes part of reality, then you sort of have to believe it, right ?
    Makes ya want to reach out for your nearest copy of “The 5 Stages of Grief” to see if maybe there was another stage tucked in there somewhere . Something between Denial and Anger , maybe , called “Totally Fucking Bewildered.”
    Are all of us just getting ourselves too worked up by scaring each other with tough talk, scary clothes and drama? Or is this joint actually going to tear itself in two?
    Are things going to get way better, way worse, or fumblefuck down the wobbly middle like they usually did? Damned if I know. It feels like I have flipped three coins into the air as a last resort to resolve the dilemmas , and all three coins came down balanced on their edges.
    See ya later. I think. At least, I’m fairly sure, hopefully.

    Now that Donald Trump is leaving the massacre I guess all of us who liked him are the only sitting ducks left in sight.
