The Philosophical Salon article is good. Thanks.
In other topics: NC used to be a great, ahead of the curve economics blog. I don’t know what’s happened the last few years. It’s changed. Not much on economics anymore; some on economics, but that’s not its focus now. So many interesting, informative, and good voices that used to comment there are now gone. It is a big internet. Glad I found TAE.
The Atlantic used to be a good magazine, but that was several years ago, back before silicon valley tech titan Steve Jobs’ widow bought it.
re: • The Total War to Cancel Russia (Escobar)
I’m waiting for the US good-thinking lemmings…er… liberals to cancel this winter’s holiday performances of The Nutcracker Suite, because Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer… in 1880.
From Taibbi’s article “Regime Change Doesn’t Work, You Morons”
Regime change is a uniquely American form of xenophobic naiveté. It’s not ignorance of the “Chemicals TURN THE FREAKIN’ FROGS GAY!” variety. It’s an even more dangerous type: bushy-tailed products of the Kennedy School and the Hoover Institute somehow cruising straight from top schools into positions of authority at places like the State Department and the NSC despite knowing less about the world than the average Survivor contestant or Men’s Health editor. Each may be only barely literate at graduation, but they’re all always certain of one thing: inside every foreigner lies a loyal, McNugget-loving American waiting to get out, and all the world’s problems will be solved if only they are all empowered.
Early 1900’s US president Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”
Our current DC pols have forgotten that bit of wisdom; they demand and sanction and carry not much stick at all wrt Russia. Now they’re talking about sanctioning India and possibly China? right….Watching the RT / Scott Ritter video, I think the jeeps driving down the road around bodies looks a lot like a video war game sequence… l lot like a video game. Very odd.
I came across this tweet on Dr. Malone’s new Gettr site and it got me thinking about something with regard to the Ukraine war. Read the Jaques Attali quote.
https://www.gettr.com/comment/cw08kue31c
It got me thinking that WWI required 100’s of thousands of men as soldiers, sailors, military to fight. But after WWI – the war to end all wars – the men who fought and weren’t killed were then neglected by their governments. Then came WWII. More 100’s of thousand of men were needed as military to fight. After WWII, the men who fought weren’t neglected by their governments. Programs were started for education, healthcare, safe working conditions, and new schools for new children were built. After all, it was possible the governments would again in 20 or 30 years need conscription of 100’s of thousands of young men again.
Now, however, the techo utopians think men aren’t needed anymore for work – robots, AI and automation can be used for those tasks. But, there’s still the problem of modern warfare. This is where Ukraine comes in as the testing ground for the West’s techo utopians to prove they can win a serious confrontation without 100’s of thousand of men. They’ve stated they have no use for most of the millions of peoples in their countries… unless they can’t win a serious war without them – that’s probably the only thing that will alter their thinking.
“ Judge Strikes Down Corporate Board Diversity Law in California (JTN)”
The whole idea behind the US Civil Rights Act and the Equal Opportunity EEOC was and is to make the idea of the US as a ‘melting pot’, melding citizens who are from different countries of origin, religions, etc included in the One of citizenship and its rights, a more inclusive and whole polity, etc. It’s a great idea, “from Many, One”. Some of these social justice moves are going backwards, in the opposite direction…. “from One, Many”.
“Regime Change” Doesn’t Work, You Morons (Taibbi)
From the longer story.“The plot is always the same. Our diplomats speak loftily of self-determination, civil liberties, and democracy. Then the local population does something daft, like attempting to nationalize their own oil or copper reserves or voting for a nationalist or socialist, at which point the CIA is forced to intervene and install a responsible leader like the Shah, Pinochet, or Suharto. If the new U.S-friendly leader hangs on, he or she over time becomes increasingly dependent on arms, “security advisors,” and World Bank/I.M.F. loans, mass-disappearing dissidents into fingernail factories or wiping them out with death squads, while also often raiding the treasury as a carrying charge for services rendered. This results in more domestic fury, leading to more calls for “aid,” until the by-now-hated U.S.-allied figure is steamrolled by a nationalist/communist/fundamentalist movement 1,000 times more hostile to the U.S. than anything that existed previously. See: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and today’s Russia (hold that thought). ”
Reminds me of Blackadder Goes Forth, Advanced War Tactics. (except not funny)
““The U.S. has no one capable of sailing its ship of state, no one in a position of influence worthy of the title “diplomat.”
If your country is in the control of the globalists who do not believe in the importance of the nation-state, how could this be otherwise? The ship of state itself becomes secondary to the globalist objectives.
Here’s a report from Unlimited Hangout about the WEF and the CIA. Klaus is a figurehead who was selected by others.

I just came across this from NC yesterday. It reads like a good description of the current “heroic” Ukrainian leader’s priors. Follow the money.
This is from 2014 in the HuffPost Canada.
Why Canada Will Become a Dictatorship Under Trudeauhttps://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/entry/trudeau-dictator_b_6314494
As long as Biden is talking about Ukraine is isn’t talking about what’s happening in Canada. He’s silent on that. Ukraine gives most of the MSM something to write and talk about and avoid talking about what’s happening in Canada. For “Ukraine” substitute the word “Squirrel” !
Dr. Robert Malone. Probably true in more countries than just the US.:
“There are now two political parties in the USA but they are not the Republicans and the Democrats. They are the Globalist party of Davos/WEF and team USA. And team Davos does not respect the US Constitution. At a minimum they have dual citizenship – USA and Davos/WEF, and their allegiance is to their leader Klaus Schwab. Not to the US Constitution. And that is the problem that is at the root of all of this COVID madness.”

Does any one have more names to add?
Posted on 5:16 AM · Feb 14th, 2022Imagine, for example, the well known passage Corintheans 1: 13 with the word ‘data’ subsitutied for the word ‘love’. The final bits of that would read:
– 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and [data]. But the greatest of these is [data], –
–
It’s still works, sort of, I guess, but the meaning is very different from the original.Odd, how ‘data’ has become the new religion. In earlier days, pre-2010’s, religion offered hopes based on one’s good works or character or humility or devotion to a higher power or some such. Now since the entrenchment of the ‘computer age’, one is offered hope based on one’s data data data, on one’s logical data processing (binary) reasoning ability, as an individual with no regard to the larger society to its future. It’s a strange new religion.
This sounds plausible to me.

re: Ukraine, the Great Reset idea, and other economic lunacies. Time to reread Paul Kennedy’s 1987 book The Rise and Fall of Great Powers. Summary from wikipedia:
“Kennedy argues that the strength of a Great Power can be properly measured only relative to other powers, and he provides a straightforward thesis: Great Power ascendancy (over the long term or in specific conflicts) correlates strongly to available resources and economic durability; military overstretch and a concomitant relative decline are the consistent threats facing powers whose ambitions and security requirements are greater than their resource base can provide for.”
Neil “mr. censor” Young. Might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a few days.
old man take a look at your life,
I am not like you are….Denninger about the SC’s split decision:
@ ctbarnum
“OSHA mandates blocked by SCOTUS 6-3, HHS mandate okayed 5-4.
Biden tells businesses to do it anyway when SCOTUS and the Senate has said NO.. Can you say constitutional crisis and impeachable offense?”
President might tell to Supremes to go fly a kite; however, president hasn’t the public behind him on this issue. Big thingy. Not exactly like Andrew Jackson daring the Supremes with his “them and what army” rhetoric, when then knowing well the US populous was wholly fed up with the then Bank of the United State’s financial chicanery. My 2 cents.
The Supremes this time may have split the issue, but thank goodness they avoided a pair of decisions that might in future years be regarded in the same way the mid-19thC Court’s decision under the Chief Justice Taney about “property rights” is now regarded. (Although Sotomayor’s question about what’s the difference between a man and a machine gave one pause to wonder if they would go there. They did not.)
There’s pandemic preparedness, and then there’s pandemic “preparedness”. I saw a clip from this leaked talk last year on youtube. It’s since been deleted. This is the only report of Baric’s speech I can now find.
”
During the 2018 conference “Imagining the Next Flu Pandemic – and Preventing it!” Baric uses the graphics to extrapolate investment assistance on how to “make money in the next pandemic” by showing which stocks and industries soared during the Ebola crisis. ”@ D Benton Smith
“…s indicative of seriously fucked up SYSTEMIC problems with human civilization itself. ”
The one systemic problem in the West that I see is govts stopped taxing global corporations and billionaires, gave them all the money in the world and told them to do whatever they want. Corruption and unaccountable wealth ,beyond the dreams of King Midas, have led to this ****show.
I really appreciate TAE’s daily links to important Covid vax science stories that are not paid for by big Pharma. I come here to get my bearings again after reading endless “official narrative” stories, mostly fear porn, on so many other sites. TAE is keeping me sane in this winter of dueling narratives.
Thanks.
