Graham sucks, but I never got the impression that he's stupid. I suspect he has put two and two together and knows that while the Republican Party may well be over no matter what, there is zero room for doubt about the Party's future if they do this. He's a party animal and knows he'd never be returned to his position of power if the party dies.

Lindsey Graham is a better judge of the political winds than most Republican Senators out there. He struck the proper outraged tone during the Kavanaugh trials, gave money to the post-Election Day Trump campaign when it would be most visible (yet cost him nothing as he already gained another term that same day), threw Trump over the side as the political winds seemingly shifted yet again, and now sees that the next few days can be an extinction-level event for the GOP.

He's the canary in the coalmine.

There is a reason why they used seize engines to hurl naptha over the walls to set fires while they worked on pummeling the walls down. Fire was a huge problem, and thus a major factor in warmaking. It is one of the reasons why the very old European cities are mostly made out of stone.

This is also something that surprises Europeans about the US and Canada when they come here. We build out of wood. This is both because we can (we have lots of forests and Europe doesn't anymore) and we also don't have a historical legacy of our cities being razed by flame over and over again (excepting notable exceptions like Chicago, of course).

There was another factor: Assignats. The French tried paper currency, and ran two parallel currencies. The plebes got Assignats to use, whereas the state and its seniors had gold. You had to produce, trade and be paid in Assignats, yet you had to pay your taxes in gold. Poverty ripped through as a result of the plebe currency being corrupted and degraded, while being rejected by the state.

We learned this lesson, as did the rest of the world. No currency - whether gold or fiat - has any legitimacy if it cannot be used to pay taxes. There is a reason why "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" is printed on our currency.

The style is sketchy, drawn with quick, slashing lines. Kollwitz made a lot of etchings, I wonder if this is too. Etching uses acid to create the image--a corrosive that eats away at a strong solid. This work is violent, in mood, in subject, in style, and in medium.

Posted by: runner at January 20, 2021 09:43 AM (zr5Kq)


Not offhand... I'll look into it and get back to you. Recovering corrupted data from magnetic disk is easier because writing magnetic bits is messy - the "pen" is wide, and it doesn't always stay inside the lines. You can sometimes get data on the periphery of the track because it smeared. Flash memory, being distinct logic gates that hold one value or another, are harder to recover.

198 There was another factor: Assignats. The French tried paper currency, and ran two parallel currencies. The plebes got Assignats to use, whereas the state and its seniors had gold. You had to produce, trade and be paid in Assignats, yet you had to pay your taxes in gold. Poverty ripped through as a result of the plebe currency being corrupted and degraded, while being rejected by the state.

We learned this lesson, as did the rest of the world. No currency - whether gold or fiat - has any legitimacy if it cannot be used to pay taxes. There is a reason why "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" is printed on our currency.


Thanks! I love learning real stuff. I missed that in my history lessons, prob because I have little interest in France vs other European countries. I should look at it more since it gave birth to our current circumstances.

Those xeroxed ballots can only be used in heavily democrat districts.

Ballot stuffing only works on Presidential elections. Midterms are used to fill the local, state and federal seats that really determine the outcome of our government. Who cares if Wayne County (Detroit) elects their congressman by eleventy million votes? If the surrounding districts elect new, Trump supporting legislators, nothing the democrats do can stand.

It was a localized famine in Paris, mainly driven by financial mismanagement by the king and price controls leading to wheat and bread shortages. The pamphleteers were rabble rousing liars (think Jake Tapper with a really twatty beret) who hated Marie Antoinette because she was Austrian (and honestly was a good hearted person).

264 250 The French revolution took advantage of real problems at the time but occurred primarily in the capitol. Real peasant revolts occur primarily outside the capitol. It is not uncommon to use popular discontent as an excuse for other factions to seize power(overwhelmingly successful revolts are from factions other than the peasants).

The Parisian zealots extended the terror into the sticks. I still think the rest of France harbors a distrust of Parisians because of it.

The United States has two currencies. The Treasury issues coinage, the Federal Reserve issues everything else. They are technically not the same. The two currencies are bound to each other and have equivalent value, but they are distinct.

This is where the "trillion dollar coin" nonsense came from. Yes, the Treasure could mint large volumes of dollars outside of the Federal Reserve system, or issue special coinage, if they wanted to do so. What would happen if they tried it, though, is sort of anyone's guess.

Most of what he's done since leaving though seems to go against that narrative.

Yes, but the nickels, quarters, and dimes have little intrinsic value, so are essentially fiat. Copper is the most valuable metal used. But, the Treasury also mints silver coins that aren't used in commerce and they say $1 dollar on them. Even though they are worth ~25 Federal Reserve dollars.

But I DO know about Williamson, and saying he's "down-to-earth, gifted, erudite, and flat-out smarter than everyone" is seriously ridiculous. He's just a run-of-the-mill product of the higher-ed system... An overeducated mediocrity with an unremarkable intellect, a load of petty grievances, and delusions of social superiority. IOW, the diametric opposite of McCarthy's description.

I don't know what the answer is, but we had it this year and between the deep state, the corrupt media and, most especially, the weak, traitorous, soft and squishy, weaseling, lying, fork-tongued, self-serving and impotent Republican pols, it was stolen from us. We can't get anything done as long a our supposed representatives are constantly stabbing us in the back. And this is happening now, more often than not.

One peculiarity in history that it took a long time for economists to figure out was that ancient currencies didn't actually depreciate in relation to how they were debased. They collapsed all at once just like fiat currencies. It turns out without some sort of arbitrage mechanism(where the precious metal is exchanged for its real value) asset backed currencies behave like fiat currencies. And arbitrage was mostly figured out in the last two hundred years, the famous Rothschild got rich off it.

386 One peculiarity in history that it took a long time for economists to figure out was that ancient currencies didn't actually depreciate in relation to how they were debased. They collapsed all at once just like fiat currencies. It turns out without some sort of arbitrage mechanism(where the precious metal is exchanged for its real value) asset backed currencies behave like fiat currencies. And arbitrage was mostly figured out in the last two hundred years, the famous Rothschild got rich off it.

Yup. It has to float against *something* eventually. But it comes back to another great expression I once heard. I don't remember the source. "Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, but hyperinflation is not. Hyperinflation is a political phenomenon."

"Currency collapse" is hyperinflation, and it happens all at once when people lose confidence in the underlying system simultaneously.

Posted by: Kris at January 20, 2021 10:20 AM (VQp/A)

There are people who clearly seek beauty in the world, and may infuse their art with a part of themselves, but are generally trying to reflect what they see out there.

So your statement, while I don't necessarily NEED to see the artists' inner workings, can certainly be more powerful when we do.

I think music does this too, where some of the best stuff we hear is that outpouring of the inner workings, and then when you hear some singers/musicians who are merely technically proficient, you can hear the lack of anything beyond their skill, and that renders their work with more emptiness.

Not really, the silver is backed by historical popular views of value and thus is not in circulation (even though I bet you could spend it at the movie theater for popcorn). The fiat currency is treated as a medium of exchange and thus no one holds onto the paper currency any more than they have to because it is effectively backed by nothing and depreciates while holding it.

There is a reason that FDR banned gold in private hands as the addled idea of the Depression is to force up inflation by fiat currency and simultaneous restriction in supply of goods such as food and labor.

If that is going to happen, we need to read them the Riot Act. No more bullshit or lies from them. They need a list of specific things they need to do to earn our vote without exception. First on that list needs to be iron-clad voter reform so we can trust our elections once more. Demand paper ballots printed on controlled paper with a strict chain-of-custody that will not be violated under any circumstances. Ballots will be retained until the next election so they can be recounted if needed. That's just for starters, there's a lot more mess to clean up after The Steal.

No more bullshit from our elected officials. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

That and there is already plenty of evidence they will happily tank an election rather than have the wrong person elected. Even Senate seats, so house seats are nothing. They will never punish the republicans tanking the party, but go after anyone that dares request listening to their base. Knowing this... the plan is still to primary and take out the GOPe? I just think it's unrealistic is all, when the leadership of a party has been telling you for 15 years that they hate you maybe it's time to listen.

It is certainly more politically diverse but I do believe Trump still wins. Of course transitioning to bureaucracy does things to a man, but that's a small proportion of the military and they don't all sprint to jettison their prior views. The progressives are more visible, though, because they push the limit more in terms of spilling their private views into professional conversation, giving the impression of larger representation. A leader who says publicly "That election looked a little odd" is getting relieved, a leader who puts on a trans support week is not.

549 Those troops are what's left when you distill the patriots of mostly red states. They are probably 99.8% Trump voters and true supporters.

They've been vetted, but that only means that the ones remaining haven't made overt death threats against Biden on the internet.
Posted by: jwest at January 20, 2021 10:08 AM (/BlEx)

I find this talk of "vetting" Trump supporters hilarious. Dems traditionally try to keep from counting absentee votes from the military. Just look at his reception at West Point. Countless other signs. If they purged the Trump supporters from the military there wouldn't be a viable military force left. 95+% of the NG would be sent home.

Prisoner is led to the scaffold, fearful but hopeful that a call from the governor will still come. He slowly ascends the steps, still hooded, he is guided to the top by men who are merely carrying out their orders, also unaware of the status of a pardon.

When the prisoner reaches the top, he sees the layout, with everything in place, including the hangman... but what's this? No rope!

The prisoner is confused, and asks the hangman, "Where's the rope, what does this mean?"

To which the hangman replies, "Son, no noose is good noose."

The left wouldn't care if the military was staffed like the DMV, and equally effective, so long as they could crush their "domestic enemies."

Yeah. I think music is an easier way to experience this. In the visual arts, in my experience, you kinda have to know what to look for, but in music you can hear it immediately. I've been listening to a lot of classical music lately. It's amazing the differences you hear between musicians playing the same Mozart piece.
Posted by: Kris at January 20, 2021 10:37 AM (VQp/A)

I just learned of an electronic musician who calls himself "The Caretaker." Created a 6 1/2 hour piece on the process of dementia. I've only yet heard the first 30 minutes or so, and it's haunting.

People call it life altering. So far it's essentially "found" pieces, slightly distorted, which is meant to represent the workings of a mind that is failing. Apparently later pieces are disturbingly, horrifyingly stark representations of a shattered mind. I guess I'm gonna find out! One way or another.

Posted by: Count de Monet in exile at his Fortress of Solitude at January 20, 2021 10:52 AM (4I/2K)

638 556 The falloff in rural districts was because neither GOP senator showed much interest at all in challenging voter fraud, Mitch killed the $2000 dollar stimulus with both senators not objecting, Loeffler's hubby annnounced day of election that the NY Stock Exchange would not delist chicom military companies, the GOP Gov, and Sec. of State essentially rolled over and permitted same pattern of voter fraud to occur again in urban districts in direct violation of law. Law in GA does not allow voting in the runoff if you did not vote in the general election and was waived in an illegal consent decree by Gope SOS.

Both Arizona and Georgia have the same problem with GOPe corrupticans as governors and legislative leaders. Note Ducey's stupid doubling down on unpopular Sen. McSally who shared a lot of similarities with Kemp's appt. of Loeffler to fill an empty seat with a McConnell GopE clone.

A couple of days ago I posted that I was thinking about the Old Testament Israelites, who would be going along great and then inevitably somebody would put up an idol and they'd start worshipping it, and before long they were back to their sinful ways, and God would punish them, and they would straighten out for a while, and things would be going great, and then somebody would put up an idol, and the cycle would start over again. I think this is the "being punished by God" phase.

If those of you who are pro-GOP wish to console yourselves with the "number of people who are regular AoS posters" stat, then fine, suit yourselves.

But without Trump, they were incapable of winning, and already politically irrelevant, though it may not have seemed obvious to you yet. Hillary would be serving her second term with both houses of Congress, even without fraud.

Since their repeated and public betrayals of the guy who brought them back to temporary relevance, their position is even worse... Your party will get shellacked next year, again, even if the Dems dial down the cheat, which I think is likely. Get ready to accept that loss, because it's coming.

Your candidates represent nobody but themselves, and right-wing voters know it. So do the Trump voting Dems.

My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

788 My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him." The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

790 767 This is why I think a civil war would be quick. The other side either
doesn't know what war really looks like or has lied to their sycophants
enough that they won't recognize what's happening until it's too late.

JJ had the Churchill quote about that at the top of his MoRep. The longer we wait, the more difficult it will be. We aren't voting our way out of this, our domestic enemies have taken that peaceful solution away from us. They leave us only the last box and the time is here to open it, sadly. But open it we must if we're ever to be free again.

819 Let us not fall into despair.

The United States has survived worse. Far worse. In particular the Civil War/War of Northern Aggression/War of Southern Rebellion.

After that war, we should have destroyed the Democrat Party root and branch, but we did not, and it has come back to haunt us. Now we are about to be colonized by Communist China without that country even firing a shot.

We should learn the lesson of 1865, which is to destroy your defeated enemy. How do we do that now? Get off the grid as far as you can. Have a network of friends and family for mutual support. Buy weapons and ammo and have a safe place to bolt to with your kin when/if the balloon goes up. Take any legal steps you can to defeat any Democrat/GOPe stooge that you can.

Most of all: Have faith that the United States of America was born for a special purpose and has the hand of G-d protecting it. It may seem He has abandoned us, but He has not.

May the Lord bless you all.

820 The whole train of JackStraw insults is puerile. He is not to be blamed for the refusal of law enforcement and prosecutors to do their jobs and that the senior DOJ officials and federal judges have proven to be duplicitous weasels. He took them at their words as did PDT apparently and failed.

He doesn't deserve it nor did DaveinFla deserve to be gotcha'ed over not anticipating the degree of fraud in the 2020 elections. Let alone the insane refusal of GoPe to actually challenge it. Effectively, a cabal of GoPe senior members have effectively denounced their supporters and made common cause with the enemy. In a microcosm, Jackstraw and DaveinFla, reflect the same problem that PDT faced. Like him, their creed is dead: reliance on the basic human decency, loyalty, and rule of law that has exemplified the American republic. The scapegoating here of honest folks that were wrong instead of the real enemy is a tell that I too need to take a break from commenting at all in general posts, maybe all.
