I'll tell you one thing, the racism fights going on amongst Gen-Z on social media are fascinating to watch. It's a 3-way fight between the woke, those who are actually not racist using any sane definition, and those who are or are being turned racist by the woke (plus shit posters pretending to piss off the woke).

From what I understand, the accusers say that Gaetz was caught paying for underage sex. Gaetz and his supporters say that no, this was a very elaborate scam set up by the Deep State to try and extort $25 million out of him, because his father-in-law is mega rich. And that they tried a reverse sting to prove what was going on.

It's very possible that all of the worst accusations on all sides are true. It's Washington, Jake.

Two conclusions

You need to see the world the way they do. "Customers" do not drive their profits, the Government does through its ability to regulate any competition out of the picture, and to give them de facto monopolies in select markets. Government also controls their pricing, not "customers". So, Government is the only client they are desperate to please - and you see the results.

64 Also remember that in modern corporate culture, very few CEOs are true kings of their business - the type of founder-owner who is the model of an authoritarian CEO, like Ford, or Rockefeller, or Gates. In a corporate bureaucracy, the goal isn't to do the right thing, it's to avoid the appearance that you did the wrong thing - avoiding any accountability. If something bad did happen, blame the process.

I think we've moved into something like the Mercantile State under the English Monarchs of the 18th century - Earning money required sharing a lot of it with the Crown, and in exchange the Crown would use the police and the military against any would-be competitors. It went without saying that Support for the Crown was absolute.

98 To use Yarvin's example -

Yale, Harvard, the NYT and the Washington Post of 2021 are all on the same page ideologically.

Yale, Harvard, the NYT and the Washing Post of 1951 were all on the same page ideologically.

Yet either would be horrified by their time partner - 1951 Harvard could not abide 2021 Harvard, and vice versa.

This may be due to coordination at a high level. It's actually a much scarier thought to imagine that it all happened organically - no piper needed to call the tune. They all just somehow realized they already knew the song.

111 The free marketer has a solution, of course - if these businesses truly stopped representing their customers, that means the market has a vacuum. We all know how nature feels about vacuums. A company that is receptive to its customers should be able to take over some of that real estate.

All American institutions, federal govt, lower govt to a large extent, major corporations, and the cultural institutions have been captured by a globalist oligarchy.

The oligarchy is hell bent on a New World Order. That New Order is really the Old World Order (99.9% of the population being serfs and slaves ruled over by top 0.1% who get all the fruits of the 99.9%'s labor), I realized a while back.

America, as founded whose principles were laid down in the Constitution (and Declaration) overthrew that, and led to rise of the middle class, regular people with enough wealth to be independent and chart their own course.

This is what the oligarch's despise. There is nothing they fear more than freedom for the masses.

Don't even bother wondering why market forces aren't working. Monopolies and oligopolies don't follow market forces. They can actively thwart them, and when they have the power of the state behind them, which they do the world over, they can kill and destroy those market forces that would challenge them.

Posted by: Broseidon


I might be being nitpicking, but the banks and financials are the largest shareholders. Look up any SnP 500 company's largest shareholders. They are invariably mutual/index/hedge funds.

Those aren't necessarily 'legacy' holders; some are new money. They are just the last into the castle before the gate closes on the peasants outside.

There was a guy on twitter who did a deep dive on Mastercard, went y Nickmon1112 after Mastercard insisted Robert Spencer (Jihadwatch) and FrontPage Mag be dropped by their payment processor.

Traced back to several years earlier at some European Soros sponsored conference on refugees where some VP at Mastercard and a few global banks pledged to assist the penniless refugees washing up on Europe's shores. As a result, they eventually also started choosing to not do busines with people and businesses that did not support refugees, and THEN they started actively seeking out ways to use their company's influence to stop other companies from providing services to those deemed anti-refugee.

I don't think a Coke or Delta see some tweets and decide to boycott Georgia. I think the activism starts when the CEOs/execs partner w/NGOs (GLAAD, BLM, pp) and other big companies, then gains momentum, from sponsorship to agressive targeting like boycotting states.

It's definitely not from seeing tweets. These are GIGANTIC business decisions. Alienating half the country is not done lightly. As with everything else, it's the turn of a big invisible wheel.

All the ad agencies didn't decide at the same time to do "we're all in this together". I mean they *could* have just all heard each other doing it, thought it sounded good, and followed suit... but A. It was creepy as fuck and not everyone wants to be creepy as fuck and B. they all switched midstream last summer to BLM messaging.

Which means advertising is now just another arm of the Left, and they get their marching orders the same way as the funny papers.

Another thing to understand is this woke SJW shit, critical race theory shit and all that poison is just a tool, a means to an end the oligarchy wants.

They want to destroy American as we know it and turn it into something else (think Chinese model). And the way to do that is destroy the existing culture and norms and pit us all against each other. That chaos allows them to destroy America as founded and "fundamentally transform it".

All these things you see are the result of an oligarchy firmly in control of everything. They make decisions, and boom, all the institutions fall in line.

I think Trump scared the hell out of them. He represented "real America" rising up against the oligarchs. They got so scared, they realized it was time to go ahead and go for broke, lest they lose control.

166 >>It's definitely not from seeing tweets. These are GIGANTIC business decisions. Alienating half the country is not done lightly. As with everything else, it's the turn of a big invisible wheel.

Oh, definitely!

It seems that when companies start advocating something at a benign level, such as: celebrate Pride day, recognize same-sex partners, etc. to please LGBTQ execs who pledged to do this at Davos, Aspen Institute retreat, or whatever. By doing this they are buying into a cause, and the more they do for the cause, the more these execs, and in their eyes, their brand is tied to that cause.

Coke supports LGBTQ! By embracing the cause, they also then feel an obligation to thwart anything that harms tha cause, such as anti SSM law, trans bathroom law, etc. It's an obligation to use what they have -- their weight as a huge company -- to do what they can. By then they see their brand as invested in doing so.

195 I'm a contrary bastard but I don't see Trump as the reason they are acting like this. Partly because I saw much of this coming before Trump even landed on the scene.

I *do* believe they were scared by Trump. But I think (and said for many years) that all of this was coming for us regardless.

Remember Hillary labeled us all "Deplorables" and "Irredeemable" in a prepared speech, preceding her anointing. You *could* say that was a response to Trump, but I think labeling us was rather preparing the public battlespace for all the censorship (online and off) and bullshit to come.

Recall the Deep State, Intelligence, and military leadership was *already* packed to the gills with commie worshipers. That was before Trump. And it was done for a reason. All while "friendly" outlets like FOX were telling us how upstanding and straight shootin these trusted agencies were. It's hard to fathom that this was headed our way, at this speed, regardless of Trump, but I believe it was.

How would someone get a foothold to campaign against her - the incumbent - during pandemic conditions? Add in mail-in balloting and we were even easier pickings.

She would have supported and encouraged every local lockdown measure. And all the spending to keep us safe. The intelligence agencies and military would have carried tons of weight with their various declarations. She would have lead the world into The Great Reset.

The entire public sphere would have totally gone upside down and we would have been trapped in it, much like we are now. But different because Trump in the meantime opened a *lot* of eyes.

How does a drug dealer get control of his marks? He gives them the stuff, gets them hooked, and then he has complete control.

Looking at how the US reacted - I believe it can be explained by the Neo-Reactionary breakdown of ideas, that ideas do not win out in the Cathedral because they are true or beautiful, but because they are useful, and a useful idea will be a dominant allele. It will also have a bias towards action. That seems to fit COVID, right? Lockdowns and mask mandates and such are useful - they expand govt authority. They are an obvious bias towards action.

236 You could say the drug is money, complacency, material possessions. It could also be said that the drug is power, or the perception of having power. Paraphrasing Yarvin again, an American citizen becomes convinced that without power, he will be oppressed. The drug addict believes that without more drugs, he will be depressed.

It's a difficult mindset to fight because it isn't entirely wrong - the drug addict will indeed probably be depressed if deprived of his high. Of course, he's also actually in worse shape the more he indulges his addiction.

Voting, of course, isn't really power - it's the lowest possible expression of democratic power. How does one get power? Well, it's difficult - but aping the ideological stances of the oligarchy gives a phantom sense of power.

237 Any successful political organization needs a leader.

That's likely why Trump got the full service he did. They allow the orgs they can use. They isolate and destroy all the ones that are a threat.

Think about that. The tea party was shredded to bits for what? Because they wanted smaller government and accountability. They wanted someone to get something done about big problems.

They brought even more heat against MAGA. But it's all the same. Attack any party that wants to put the people and constitution first.

244 And of course, social status matters too. No one wants to live in penury. And all other things equal, having more wealth is better than having less wealth. But most people, if given the conscious choice, would rather be moderately well-off and beloved than very well-off and a complete pariah.

265 As an Iowanian, I studied this a bit. The Governatrix signed it today.

Formerly (or until July) a prospective firearms (handgun) buyer had to obtain a permit to purchase from the county, the Sheriff. The Sheriff simply ran a NICS as far as I know. Then when puchasing at an FFL dealer, he would run another NICS. Then had to apply for a concealed carry permit.

I didn't or don't mind having the sheriff sign off. I guess - so long as the process isn't corrupted. In some states, ain't nobody getting a permit (to carry) unless you make a large donation to his re-election. Hm.

Does this new law apply to "open carry"? I assume so, but it ain't wise to assume anything with gun laws.

How about knives?? "Right to keep and bear arms" also means knives. How about swords? That might be kinda cool too. Rockin' a good sabre always looks pretty strack.

318 Thing about Jesus is this:

For most, He exists as an example of a good man, glossing over His divinity.

A good man doesn't proclaim himself as God unless he is insane or evil. Jesus is neither. Nor is He dead.

If you believe in Jesus the man, but not Jesus the son of God, God made flesh, then you completely miss the whole point of Christianity.

I can empathize. My world has certainly felt smaller since the Coof BS has got rolling. I'm fortunate enough to have a family, but they're all having their own struggles too, and a lot of that shit falls on my shoulders. Bucking the Coof Nazis is about the most fun I can have right now, given the shitty government in our state. At least now the weather is improving enough that outdoor activities are back on the menu as something enjoyable to do. Getting into nature helps me a bunch. Nice to get away from the pack of braying jackasses that most of my fellow countrymen have turned into.

Sorry to hear that. There's a lot of prep before the surgery and to have it delayed would piss you off. Heck, I had to give up chew cause they won't do the surgery if you test positive for nicotine.

The fake conservatives didn't object to Trump because of mean tweets, they objected because they were told to by their leftist masters (the same way they were told to facilitate him until the Dems figured out too late that putting him up as a straw man was a bad idea), and then trusted to come up with the proper excuses justifying it.

This wasn't an accidental own-goal - they did this on purpose, with malice - because they're not stupid, they're just on the other side.

Not to interrupt, but yes but I would encourage you to get the Adkins cups.

https://tinyurl.com/42tn73rm

I would encourage you to get into a Keto state for 1/2 week or so. The important aspect of the diet is the concept of net carbs and metabolic state. The more disciplined you are the more you lose.

It worked for me, but it is predicated on maintaining the dietary changes and once I started back on carbs I gained back 1/2 my loss.

419 They really need to get a refund for that AI Ray Mundo program. I don't know if it's the CCP and they don't know how bad the syntax is, or they're Democrats and coherent syntax is just white privilege and to be avoided.

420 So. Doing a lotta catchup at the HQ, dayum y'all are wordy, Q #1 -- Was the art on 4/1 an April's Fool dealio? I hope so, on general principles... not that it matters very much.

I went to Dollar General last night, and the only mask in the store was a bandana on the cashier. I think they still have the sign up, but I didn't even look.

Went to a Mexican restaurant the night before, and even the servers were sans masks.

Traffic? As the Italicans say, fuggedaboutit. Lets just say semi truck drivers are in yuge demand.

427 In SC this past week there is definite schizophrenia on masks.

Went to one bar with not a mask in sight anywhere. It was like living normally.

Went to another restaurant and it was sort of a halfway deal.

And stores were inconsistent on whether they had signs or not.

Alas...the sheep are ascendant around here. Pretty much 100% compliance.

429 Hey blaster and CBD,

Here in flyover Mask orders were removed last month. At this point the only remaining maskers are the big chain stores with about 35% compliance

435 From JJS' excellent EMT Friday report --

"In the face of a concerted boycott campaign, Kemp calls on fellow governors to 'stand up and fight.''
Georgia's Brian Kemp is Not Backing Down


Let me note that Kemp is between a rock and a hard place. His cred is on a par with North Korea's.

So. He does the necessary, as suggested by Milton Friedman--
Making the wrong people do the Right Thing. The quote --
"Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office..."

Cue President Donald Trump.

436 Not used to being here on East Coast time.

437 Kemp is politically on his way out, he's been kicked in the nuts by The Big Guy On Standby, and so he tries for 'a save'. From a political point, Trump is a much bigger fear factor than Stacy Abrams' considerable physical weight.

Lord have mercy, don't let that phat c*nt sit on me...

Kemp is still a political pussy.

The Japanese sniper was unexpectedly headshot by an ordinary little girl

It seems they must have a branch of the NRA in Japan.
