    Many wars are fought in darkness,
    Hiding out from prying eyes.
    Eyes that push for escalations;
    Eyes that want to break the nations;
    Eyes that would prefer the starkness
    Of destructive escalations.

    And in time those people who want chaos
    Find the rotted leaders who betray us.

    If I understand the Optimists like Krainer, Luongo, and Dr. D, Trump and Bessent are attempting to take down Davos/Europe. It’s tricky business and requires misdirection because there are enemies inside our own leadership. Breaking London is key, for wars are protracted things, and this is part of the ongoing Revolutionary War.
    In this scenario, Trump’s acting abilities are crucial to keep the enemy confused and out of the loop of the real negotiations.
    I’m afraid that the West has a large population that wants out of the ennui created by smart phones, the Covid Maneuver, and now the AI Diversion.
    There are no Organians to save us from ourselves. It will have to be more of “The Day of the Dove” where we laugh away the war grinders and stop dancing like monkeys on our own.

    As the crazy-ass banksters push harder for war,
    Some tap out resistance on keyboards and phones.
    But the bankster’s persistence might settle the score,
    And we may be reduced to mere shadows of bones.

    Sweet dreams, dear hovering angels.
    It’s time for us to rest.
    When morning comes,
    The sweet earth hums,
    And all the world is blest.

    When it comes to trade (or any human interaction), barter is the first process. When you barter you quickly earn that the most important bit of information is “how much do you want this?” So desire is the core of barter.
    It follows that when we tell amazon or goggle or AI what we want, they have the most important information that can be had in any transaction.
    Desire is the energy in the thermodynamic equation of human interaction.

    Give me one of those immigrants so yearning to be free!
    I’ll pay her zero wages, then- that’s how it’s gonna be;
    And in return for cleaning house, I will not rat her out.
    Cheap labor kept through blackmail: what America’s about!

    Pretty good anchor.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 30 2025 #189115

    Sometimes I wonder if I’m even real, too.
    Pain’s a pretty anchor.

    To add to what poppie wrote: shoot the torturers, too. Not just the cannibals.

    But I’ll still write little poems about it and bury them in god’s good earth.

    RIM- it’s clear you are still under the weather. If you have access to vick’s vapo-rub (or an equivalent), rub it on your chest and put a warm rag over it. Then pat yourself on the head, and smile, saying “sweetie”.
    Then eat some potato chips with some 7Up, and watch cartoons. In your pjs.
    I hope you feel better soon.

    Thanks, DBS.
    I try to keep ’em short.

    The government’s role seems to be building fences.
    Just where they will put them is up for debate.
    But very few question how power condenses-
    Just give them big money- they’ll cut you a gate.

    AI is rapturous, glorious, fatuous-
    AI is prone to cascading mistakes.
    AI is serious, wondrous, delirious-
    AI will answer, whatever it takes.

    The icosahedron in a magic 8 ball
    Is more reliable than AI- but it’s your call.

    Thanks, poppie! I was able to post!
    I was almost trying to learn to code so I could adjust the field size, or something….

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 26 2025 #188850

    Well, this is interesting….The morals of AI.

    It wasn’t about compassion.
    It wasn’t about the science.
    The key to the covid experience,
    Was really about compliance.

    A bonus was that bending will
    Can manifest a major kill.

    If you put your faith in trust,
    When the world is going bust,
    Then it’s confidence you’re really trying to bolster.
    But when everything’s a con,
    It gets hard to carry on-
    What you really need is something in your holster.

    Let’s hold hands and move ahead-
    The vast horizons beckon.
    No matter there’s a cliff, instead
    Go one, go all, I reckon.

    Lots of sleep, lemon tea, honey. ; )

    Damn all those convenient deaths that conjure up the storm.
    Pushing, urging people to be at each other’s throat.
    Let it happen. Make it happen. Take on any form:
    All they really care about is what they can promote.

    Why do so many apples have a worm?
    I still eat the apple, I just eat around the worm.
    At least I know it is not sprayed with poison.

    I just finished watching a utube video that was a very long (2.5 hrs) ad for something called replit, disguised as a discussion on the shimmering future of AI.
    It has more than 11,000 comments already.

    The telephone rang.
    The mail would arrive;
    The dinner was good,
    And it kept us alive.

    So how did we get here with junk food and phones?
    And bad guys who see us as nothing but drones?

    I must admit the future leaves me vexed.
    Just pull the plug and see what happens next.

    “They” are Businessmen: negotiating deals; making contracts; enforcing them. War is nothing more than asset destruction that leads to the prosperity and romance of rebuilding.
    They are OUR bankers, but to each other they are Businessmen.

    It’s all just business.

    John Day: Do you understand what Spartacus is currently writing?

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 18 2025 #188326

    I am appropriately watching the delightfully awful “Star Trek: the Motion Picture”, where we meet V-ger. Predictive programming at its best, eh?
    Is this the future of charlatanism? Where the vagaries of mathematical physics (pardon the redundancy) meet up with the souls of the intrepid atheists and produce a wonderful new world of philosophical gobbledygook?

    Demons or aliens?
    We’ll get to choose.
    How does it matter?
    With each we would lose.

    Aliens would use scientifical tools-
    While demons won’t follow the physical rules.

    On a different note…
    I was recently spending 5 early hours in the hospital waiting room and I had my mate’s device with me. For the first time ever, I attempted to use a smartphone unassisted. I wanted to see weather radar; I wanted to see if I could read TAE.
    I knew how to turn it on; I knew the code to get in. Voila! I got to both with no assistance.
    I started reading and felt my posture…GADS!
    I looked like so many others in the waiting room- oblivious; head bowed….
    I quickly turned it off and went back to my book (The Deep, Hot Biosphere).

    Seductive little buggers, aren’t they. I’ve now popped my smartphone cherry. ö

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 18 2025 #188302

    Where are their phones?! Why are they looking forward and smiling??? Why aren’t their heads bent in reverent worship of the great glass slab?
    What’s WRONG with those people?

    John Day- So if the “terrifying image” video you just (re)posted today is not the one you posted a link to on the 16th with the same title, can you post that one? Or at least give us a summary?

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 17 2025 #188253

    I found the video, John Day.
    I sure hope the future doesn’t talk like that.
    Spartacus is starting to sound like that, as well.

    ..”preconscious waveform contagion”…”from a layer of existence just beneath our perceptual threshold…” “resonance events that could destabilize the fabric of shared reality…”

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 17 2025 #188243

    It sure feelz to me like things are moving to set up “remove trump” riots for the summer. Comey’s face has “martyr” written all over it.

    The rot runs so deep
    That the tree is near falling,
    And the bleats of the sheep
    Makes me feel my skin crawling.

    Y’know, if you have a sneaking suspicion that you have been duped into taking slow poison, you may feel you have nothing to lose.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle May 17 2025 #188242

    John Day- did you have access to the utube video on the “terrifying image” from Vger? (“Private video. Sign in if you’ve been granted access to this video”) If you could post it, or at least do a short summary of it, I would be grateful.

    Did they bag the shells for prints? I’m guessing Comey didn’t just find it on the beach.

    It’s not the first time malice ran the show-
    And every time, we’ve had to let it go.
    For all the good inside of us we’ll find
    Most human fields are danger-ously mined.

    Just thought I would throw this in for no reason: “Turn Around” from The Brothers Four.
    It’ll mean something to us oldies.

    Perhaps the Brits could take up that craze from back in the day of having those cute little pet pigs. And dogs. They should definitely take up more pet dogs.

    As long as we act natural while everything we do is being logged and crunched, it will be used to analyze and predict human behavior with increasing accuracy.
    Then will come the greatest of all magic tricks: it will play god…
    And because of its amazing accuracy in predicting and manipulating populations, it will be believed.
