Global Climate DisruptionTM - The Politics (Part 5)
Posted On: Saturday - January 14th 2017 8:57AM MST
In Topics: Global Climate Stupidity
This is the final, final wrap-up of this subject, we really mean it this time (till we get more subzero weather or next week, whichever comes first ;-}
Continuing from here, we want to add:
We have the leaders/proponents of the whole GCDTM business pretending to be extremely worried about a coming change (of some sort, not really sure yet) in the climate of he whole world. We have their useful idiots really extremely worried about a coming change (of some sort, determined by the scientists and explained (haha) by the "journalists") in the climate of the whole world. There is some overlap between the groups of "pretending to be worried" and "really worried".
The following description of the logic of the GCDTM story should clue any intelligent person in to the idea that maybe this is all political:
1) The greenhouse effect - on process of a myriad of physical processes that has to do with the climate. Changes in CO2 increase the heating effect. The theory is simple, and it can be tested even on a small scale. OK.
2) CO2 is a PRODUCT of combustion. The more industry, transportation powered by combustion, etc. in the world, the higher the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. [IF] this is a bigger factor than natural changes in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, then people have an effect on this atmospheric concentration. [ BIG IF, as there are many natural sources of combustion - take volcanoes, please that are orders of magnitude greater than changes we make]
3) [IF] the greenhouse effect is something to worry about, but water vapor makes the same effect, why are we not worried about the amount of water vapor - also a PRODUCT of combustion.
4) [IF] we are worried about the greenhouse effect from whatever gasses, we would need to model all the other physical processes of the atmosphere as other processes may affect the climate in much different ways. Do we have a working model of the earth's climate that has been proven by comparison of the model with actual observations, since we can't do full-scale experiments? NO, we've written 5 posts just about this mathematical modelling part.
5) [IF] we had a working mathematical model (we don't), what would be the effects of the results on human populations? This purported data that says just what the future climate will be at each place on the globe will show that we have better conditions for farming up here, more diseases we didn't used to have down here, drier conditions here, more frequent storms here, better spots for tasty fish over here, worse spots for furry polar bears over here, and so on. Do you future-climate experts know that this is ALL BAD for everyone? Why would that be. (This last IF is the one that was in a Vin Suprynowitz (former columnist of the Las Vegas Review-Journal) post on-line that resulted in a 6-month ongoing discussion by a future PeakStupidity writer and a climate worrier, as described here, in the 4th paragraph, before the bit by George Carlin.)
That is a lot of [IF]'s, my loyal readers. There is nothing sure about any one of them. This is the kind of thing that even non-scientific, but reasonably intelligent people will unconsciously perhaps, note in their minds after reading/hearing the BS over and over. It leads finally to the realization that, no, the media/elites/leaders either are stupid or don't take themselves seriously in terms of the science. Yet they take the politics very seriously, and that's the problem!
Two more arguments that I'll bring up, but refute in more detail later on:
1) I've heard it brought up that, to paraphrase "yes, there is a lot unknown about this, but better to be safe than sorry?" What? Cause massive damage to entire economies because something may or may not be a problem - homie don't buy that crap.
2) To paraphrase again: "What you say may be true, but there are all sorts of other pollutants that come from burning, let's get us off Muslim-world oil (yeah, good idea!), etc." Sure, I may agree with you on the other problems, but this lying about a fake problem in order to bring attention to some real ones is neither a good idea in the short nor the long run.
Still more to come on these two points, but that can be much later.
GAME, SET, MATCH for the Deniers! Where's my trophy, bitchez!

In Topics: Global Climate Stupidity Globalists
Let's wrap this up, whaddyasay? After long discourses on the difficulties of creating a working mathematical model of the entire world climate, then discussion of the politics involved in GCDTM, first wrt the "journalists", then the scientists, we come to the top of this scheme. (It's all here.)
I think that Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit says it best and the most times ;-} thusly:
"For the political leaders, well, I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis."
I'm sure Professor Reynolds thinks of this the same way as PeakStupidity: No, they don't really believe it's a crisis (spoiler alert: IT'S NOT), but even if they did, these "leaders" - and we would add others - the outspoken idiot actors and musicians also - would not consider themselves as the ones to make any sacrifice of any sort. After all, they are our betters, the self-chosen elite, so there are much more of us peons to sacrifice our civilization and revert back to a middle-ages type lifestyle to keep the "Carbon in it's place". (Damn Carbophobic bastards, all of them!)
I would respect these people if they really did believe in the nonsense and lived a lifestyle that would allegedly mitigate the effects they are worried about - no, I still wouldn't believe them, because they are innumerate and have no understanding of science, but I would still respect them, so long as they weren't in a position of power over us with their bullshit.

What've we got against Pope Francis, anyway?

In Topics: Commies Elections '16 - '26 So-called Pope Francis
A lot, that's what!
This Zerohedge article of a few days back reports that this guy put his two papal cents in regarding world financial
As the new year dawns, it seems the current occupant of St. Peter’s Chair will take on a new function which is outside the purview of the office that the Divine Founder of his institution had clearly mandated. Besides being a self proclaimed expert on global warming and a vociferous advocate of societal-wrecking mass immigration, it looks as if “Pope” Francis has entered the realm of global economics specifically, international monetary policy.
In an 18-page document issued through the Vatican’s Office of Justice and Peace, Bergoglio has called for, among other repressive and wealth-destructive measures, the establishment of a “supranational [monetary] authority” to oversee international monetary affairs:
In fact, one can see an emerging requirement for a body that will carry out the functions of a kind of ‘central world bank’ that regulates the flow and system of monetary exchanges similar to the national central banks.
Is there any wonder our software has automatically assigned all posts about this man to the Commies topic key?
PeakStupidity and Zerohedge both detest the global elites and their plans for control of money and other aspects of the lives of us peons. We cannot speak for Zerohedge, but to re-iterate, we at PeakStupidity do not believe there is some long-term overarching conspiracy with conspirators running the show. It's just that these people think the same way, and they do hang out a lot. This pope either works for or with some of the evil elites of this world*
Besides his mouthing off on the whole Global Climate DisruptionTM nonsense repeatedly, this globalist wants to tell us how a world central bank should run our financial system? (I imagine Ron Paul would not be welcome during mass at this point.) In this post we opined about Pope Francis meddling in world politics. It's one thing to ask for peace, and pray for every human being in all kinds of sad conditions throughout the world. However, as that post pointed out, he advises the Western World to allow their countries to be invaded and overrun - that will not lead to peace, we at PeakStupidity guaran-damn-tee you.
Lastly, along with other hypocritical stuff, Pope Francis had a lot to say about the US election, and it seems like he took sides to me. How is his bloviating not meddling in the same way as the publishing of actual (nobody says they were faked) emails proving corruption of one party's management and the Hildabeast itself? This meddling could be considered a major foreign influence on the election '16, as this guy is the top man of all the Catholics in the world. How many does he influence in the US? Pope Francis, if it's not about God, and or Jesus, just shut your pie hole!
OK, before we forget, LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS!
Watch the entire 46 seconds -- funny, funny stuff:
(His name was Francis Soyer. /ZH)
*BTW, want a second opinion about this guy? Read this lady's website sometime - Miss Barnhardt is a serious, balls-to-the-wall Catholic, and she could tell you more than you wanted to hear. She deserves a post of her own here, upcoming at PeakStupidity.

Global Climate Disruption TM - The Politics (Part 3)
Posted On: Thursday - January 12th 2017 12:23PM MST
In Topics: Global Climate Stupidity
As I wrote here - "Now, I'm not letting all scientists in the field off the hook either, as might be assumed by this and previous posts on this topic."
A quick paragraph about Carl Sagan was in the previous GCDTM post, so I won't repeat it. He is an outlier, as not many scientists, maybe a dozen at a time, are media stars like that. Let's discuss the rest of them. From a backwater branch of geography at most schools 25 years ago, the field of Climatology has become glorified, as there is this huge mass of useful idiot leftist/treehuggers that either truly feel that this stuff is extremely important due to the urgency of the situation (of it not being cold sometimes?), or just to get in on something that makes them feel important.
As for grad students, professors, the post-docs and the like in this field, this is our PeakStupidity-certified opinion: Scientists are as human as anyone, and though the scientific method and integrity of the data are still taught, there is always the push for more research money, more exposure of the research work being done, and glory for the professors. This is natural, but this field has had money poured into it from government agencies like nothing since the Manhattan Project. It must hard to stay uncorrupted. Papers will get churned out based on whatever work has been done, shoddy or not. The deal with science is that it's not engineering - nobody is going to specifically rely on the results for human safety or security of property. Another effect of the big money and attention from media is that climatologists, like most people, like to feel that they are "making a difference". Any results that don't show approaching doomsday in some fashion will not get accolades from the science-illiterate and innumerate peanut gallery (aka, the journalists), and be downplayed.
Most have already read about Professor Michael Mann - in England, I believe, and the "hockey stick" graphs, the emails that urge colleagues to "hide the decline" in temperature, etc. All the scandals cannot be repeated here; as they were old news - but not fake news.
What's a shame about the scientists partial role in this GCDTM nonsense is just the "boy who cried wolf" effect that it will result in. People would like to have trust in at least the scientists, as this type of news/hype is not something most have the ability to verify, of course. Most of the smarter laymen who pay attention to this are learning to not listen to so-called experts anymore. This Climate Stupidity has been blown into such a big deal, yet people are waking up to the fact that the climate is NOT changing drastically and the predictions from the mathematical models have been wrong just as often as correct (as in, random and of no more use than the Farmer's Almanac). People get tired of lies after a while, and governments and the "Non-Governmental Organization" sack-hangars to these governments are pushing this crap even harder than before. All scientists will eventually lose much respect from the public, tainted by just the one field of Climatology.
Well, enough about the scientists - the next, and hopefully last post for a while about this Global Climate Stupidity will be about what we think will happen with the politics and the politicians who forever push this stuff. This writer is getting even more bored right now than you the reader, trust me, ;-}

First post on Feminism - starting off at a low stupidity level
Posted On: Wednesday - January 11th 2017 7:14PM MST
In Topics: Feminism Curmudgeonry
When it comes to stupid stuff, there is no possible way for PeakStupidity to keep up with it all with current staffing levels "in the current year". Still, this blog attempts to keep the reader informed about some aspect of each of the various flavors of stupidity. We have been in arrears with any opinion about the highly toxic, especially noxious, form of stupidity called Feminism.
Although there will be a more general overview post coming shortly about this area, this is a follow-up of one part of this post describing a murder subject who is supposedly just called "they", as
Nutcases from Berzerkely, California notwithstanding, the following English language stupidity has been around for a long time and will not be followed here at this blog. The problem is with the use of "they" instead of "he" in reference to a single (as in 1) person of unknown sex. If you start thinking about this while listening to others and reading, you will find out the scope of this problem in short order. Example: "We are looking for one more pizza driver for the afternoon shift. They must have their own car ...." English grammar states very clearly that one must use "he" and "his" and "him" as the pronouns, if sex(gender) is not known.
The Feminists back in the 1970's or so, back when they brainstormed the "Ms" thing, got the ball rolling on this. Nobody wanted to keep saying "he or she" all the time, as fortunately these people did not get their speech police system up and running yet. In writing, it is very cumbersome too. The "they/them/their" thing just came about slowly. I've found myself saying that and realized it only after I've spoken.
It's not just that it's wrong - we are all used to it, but it can definitely cause confusion simply because "they/them/theirs" refers to the plural. I've seen stories told on the web that were not understandable due to this. All the handbooks used in my work use this form, they even state that they will in the front, and it gets damn confusing, and this is often safety related stuff. PeakStupidity realizes that this is not the most egregious feminist nonsense going on right now, just that it's some of the earliest of the feminist stupidity on record. Homie over here ain't playin' that game, no matter what

Global Climate DisruptionTM - The Politics (Part 2)
Posted On: Wednesday - January 11th 2017 9:43AM MST
In Topics: Lefty MegaStupidity TV, aka Gov't Media Global Climate Stupidity Globalists
Continuing on from here, we must discuss what are the methods the elite and their leftist and treehugger sycophants use to push this agenda. First, it should be added right here, that we at PeakStupidity do not believe in some overarching conspiracy on the part of the elites. They are not smart enough for that. It's just, that with issues like this many think and act the same way with the same motives.
Due to the fact that the public still stupidly gets much of their news (and opinion pushed at them) by the Gov't/fake media via TV, the part played by the "journalists" in the spreading of the whole doomsday Global Climate DisruptionTM meme (yeah, meme, because that's all the hell it really is, one big meme) is major. As we left off this post with, the journalists are not bright enough, even if they actually try to be honest, to understand a scientific paper. It is very important to keep the viewers, so of course the stories will lean toward some worst case scenario inferred from the science papers. Again, once they get in the limelight to any degree, the scientists themselves will be loath to downplay any limitations and wide tolerance bands of their doomsday-forecasting models. That would put a damper on things.
A very good example of this behavior is the case of one Carl Sagan, a former (well dead now) cosmologist (to be neither confused with the cosmetologists (cuter but dumber) nor the climatologists (medium intelligence with some make-up on due to TV)). He became a media darling because he was good at explaining the astrophysics, that he studied, to the public. He was the go-to guy for any story on TV about astronomy and physics on the large-scale. I'm guessing he was a good scientist back when that's all he was, but he let the media attention get to his head. In the latter part of his life, he was all into the whole "nuclear winter" (called "nuculer winner" where I lived) thing. That was the projected - using math models again - changes to the entire earth's atmosphere in the even of major nuclear war. It turned out later that it was mostly a lot of hooey. Hey, listen, none of us want nuclear war, especially us at PeakStupidity (we just payed for a multi-year hosting agreement, for crying out loud). But, please, don't give us some BS just to scare us, or we will quit believing your lyin' asses. Hmmmm... that brings up right back to the topic of the post again.
One of the methods used to push this multi-decade GCDTM dealio is to change the language. One will hear and read the word "emissions" wrt CO2 all the time, for example, in order to conjure up the idea of it being a "pollutant". Without any argument about the greenhouse effect involved (and we don't have any), Carbon Dioxide gas is just plain NOT POLLUTION in ANY SENSE of the word! Even if the climate models were accurate (retro-spoiler alert: they're NOT), CO2 gas is a natural part of the atmosphere. (I really believe that some want the most gullible part of the public to confuse this with CO, carbon monoxide, which is poisonous.) I particularly don't like the use of the term "by-product" for the CO2 resulting from combustion. Nitrogen Oxides are BY-PRODUCTS, i.e., they can result from non-optimal combustion where the Nitrogen from the air is involved in an unwanted reaction. Sorry to tell you, but CO2 is a PRODUCT of any combustion of HYDROCARBONS (molecules of CARBON, C, and HYDROGEN, H) in Air. The Hydrogen combines with Oxygen, making water*, and the Carbon combines with Oxygen, making Carbon Dioxide, and hopefully the Nitrogen - in the form of N2, 80% of the composition of the air - stays put (inert). Those are the 2 PRODUCTS, so quit using wrong terminology, people.
Now, I'm not letting all scientists in the field off the hook either, as might be assumed by this and previous posts on this topic.
There will be a small post about the scientists role in the politics, and another post about the high level globalist scum that use this meme as another tool in their control-freak toolbox. Stay tuned, don't change the frequency of your router!
*Water has its own "greenhouse effect", and is much more a factor in this process than CO2, which should be accounted for in any mathematical model. Why do we not hear much about "water emissions"? We here at PeakStupidity know the answer, as we note stupidity as soon as we see it.

If you're a parent of any young kid these days you may have noticed the new naming conventions, maybe even in your own kid. I don't know if the moms get this stuff from just one book or TV show, like some of the pop-psycho stuff like "you're not a bad kid - you're just making the wrong choices."* Anyhoo, if you haven't been paying attention since the days of all the Joshuas, Jeremies, Jasons, Justins, and Jonas, the new thing is last-name first names.
Connor, Tanner, Tyler (man, that Fight Club just didn't make any damn sense to me), and a whole host of other last names are the new first names for boys. Girls are getting some of this treatment also. OK, it does beat being named by Johnny Cash's dad, but it's getting annoying to us at PeakStupidity. I think the idea is that these kids sound sophisticated, I dunno - it's to the point where any last name will do now. A Chinese mom figured she'd better fit in and made her born-in-China boy's name "Benson". Hey, lady, he's already got his last name first as is the Chinese way - you don't need to go searching through old sit-coms. However, I don't believe this old country of ours will be around to see a President named Tanner - just as well, really.
In that light, I guess we could all go to the courthouse if we had to on this, but I've recently wished we'd named our boy after a man of the cloth - called him Amos Moses.
I think it would have slipped by the wife, as she's not a Jerry Reed fan, far's I know - RIP:
* My kid accidentally knocked the snot out of another kid with his foot as he was climbing over a railing and his friend was too close by. I don't mean figuratively "knocked the snot out of", but literally, which, in this case, is a lot less violent than figuratively - the other kid's snot moved over from his nose to the other side of his face, that's all.
They were both little ones, so it wasn't any big deal. The mom was already telling the other kid some crap about "making the wrong choices" - man, lady, the kid's literally (haha) two years old. I couldn't help myself "no, he just needs to keep his face out of the way of other kids' feet when they're moving is all". You don't need any DVD's of Oprah or Dr. Phil to figure this out.

This site is named Peak Stupidity for a good reason. The following article points out that which clearly amounts to some kind of record Stupidity in quantities never before seen in the Western, or Eastern world. It is a flavor of Stupid, so toxic as to make this planet barely habitable by sentient human beings - homo sapiens some call us.
This link is yet another Steve Sailer blog post on VDare.com. This link is to the same post on unz.com where one can comment.
There's a fugitive murder suspect in the killing of a teacher in Berzerkely, California who does not want to be identified as a specific gender. It's not that he doesn't want you to know - hey not my bidness, what you do in your bedroom or jail cell ... The thing is, he doesn't want people to use normal English pronouns to describe him. He's OK, I believe, with the phrase "primary stabbing suspect", but not "him" or "her" - it's got to be "they" according to them ("them" meaning the one guy, a topic for another post to come).
See, how can this stupid shit go on for that much longer? These people, especially in academia, are in their own world with this stuff, but the rest of the world will eventually crash down on theirs when it is discovered that we really don't have any money, and there is especially no more money to support their world of delusion.
OK, it's not like crazy thoughts like this did not occur even as far back as the 1960's, but the difference was that people thinking them were on psychedelic plants and medications that would wear off in a matter of 6 - 8 hours (depending on ... well some friends said this.)

Global Climate DisruptionTM - The Politics (Part 1)
Posted On: Tuesday - January 10th 2017 9:19AM MST
In Topics: Lefty MegaStupidity Global Climate Stupidity Globalists
There are so many people in this world that would love to have a great deal more power over you and me. This is all well and good, so long as we don't let them get into (or stay in) positions to act on their desires. Yes, the horse has long left the barn on this for the most part, but the types that want control of your labor, your money, and your lives are not really satisfied yet. The people we are talking about may be called "leaders", "politicians", "captains of industry", etc., but better words to describe them would be "Globalists" and "the Elite", or to keep it simple "the Globalist Elite".
The Globalist Elite will pounce on any new idea that will let them amass more of the world's resources (i.e. your money and your stuff) and let them control said resources. Once they and their useful idiots, the mindless lefties and the treehuggers, can get the ball rolling on a scam like Global Climate DisruptionTM, aka Climate Change, aka Global Warming, aka Global Cooling, it's hard for even intelligent individuals under an oppressive government (like ours, and pretty much all of the worlds' gov'ts) to slow down and stop this snowball headed for hell. Our best bet is to blow this snowball up. I'm using snowball analogies today in particular for obvious reasons.
Politicians, aka the useful idiots for the globalists in real power, have been using this once staid and respectable field of science, climatology (not to be confused with cosmetology - less math and better-looking women), in various ways for their purposes and purposes of those in control. What are the benefits for the politicians:
a) An important thing for these people is to show that they care and are more compassionate than you are - hey don't knock it, they know that gets the women's votes.
b) As far as this BS has gotten to by this point, they can seriously consider taxing whatever they want based on some arbitrary measure of what's good for Mother Earth. These people like money, especially yours - you may have noticed that by now.
c) The most important benefit of the Global Climate DisruptionTM nonsense for the politicians and those with hands on the strings that control said politicians is the amount of additional control to be gained. One can point at any industry or endeavor and regulate the living hell out of it based on an urgent need to "avoid a doomsday scenario" (the worst case scenario that even the most outlandishly unbelievable climate math models out there would never predict).
This will be continued in another post in the morning.

What was the impetus here that finally brought this blog back to the topic.... maybe ... was it ... because we are FREEZING OUR ASSES OFF!, perhaps? I think most readers in N. America and Europe would agree - we don't seem to be basking in the snowless balmy winter wonderland promised by our smarter and better elites, cough,
This topic has been discussed in this blog mainly just within the one subject of mathematical modeling so far.
This ClimateDepot post - Pravda: ‘Scientists Now Warn Of A New Ice Age’ As Temperature Plummets to – 80°F In Russia will bring out the usual retort that WEATHER AIN'T CLIMATE. Yes, we agree, but our post here tries to explain that climate modeling may be different than weather modeling/forecasting, but it is just as complicated. We also agree that the newspaper Pravda was never associated with truth, thought this Russian word means "truth", but, when compared to American Gov't media, it could not be any worse.
Our post titled Summary of our take on Global Climate DisruptionTM (Part 2) ended with our take on how science, and specifically climatology, journal papers get turned into ridiculous sensational media headlines and stories. Since this post has gone on for a while, we will shortly go into the political aspect of the Global Climate DisruptionTM

PC and Euphemisms
Posted On: Saturday - January 7th 2017 11:35AM MST
In Topics: Political Correctness
From another Unz.com article by Steve Sailer.... who is, apparently, still reading the rest of the NY Slimes - like I keep saying, somebody's gotta do it.
For whatever reasons, this lady’s writing* does not make me as angry as some of the stuff we linked to yesterday. Yeah, she is PC, of course, but this is the part where people just wants to change wording to make everything sound nicer to avoid people feeling sad. It’s still lies, of course, which are called euphemisms (euphemism being a euphemism for lies). However, I think this stuff is not as viscous as the ones the real political types utter.
Examples here:
negro –> colored —> afro-american —> black —> whatever-the-hell
retarded —> slow —> short-bus-riding —> mentally challenged —> ??
bat-shit-crazy —> nutty —> very excitable —> differently logiced —-> NY mayoralty material
gimpy —> lame —> handicapped —> ??
and so on.
We all know why the words are changed every generation or even decade nowadays. Everyone is hip to what the new word means after a while, so the people in question will feel bad again.
Yes, Down’s syndrome is very sad, and the mental and physical handicaps are also, and are usually no fault of the individual. Yet, you can’t hide from sad things forever. If we keep these people who care about feelings more than truth in positions of authority for long, we will be back to living in
Back to the post again, I did want to add that I agree with it, especially this last paragraph from Sailer:
"As you know, it is a priori impossible for Victim-Americans to abuse American-Americans. So, the victim must have been a Victim-American."
Nice!
This here – “there’s been a lot of progress in attitudes …” is where Miss Carlson lets us know that we must not use words that hurt peoples feelings ;-{ It’s more important to her than plainspoken truth.
* BTW, I don't know if the short excerpt on Unz site is the whole of the article by Margaret Carlson.

Posted On: Saturday - January 7th 2017 8:55AM MST

One of the Christmas toys mentioned a week back or so is a remote control vehicle. We broke out the swapped-out truck long after the exchange at the store. You wouldn't believe this next part.
There are two motions - driving wheels forward/backward (via motor drive) and front wheels right/left (via solenoid, most likely - just on/off motion). The latter motion, the steering that is, is backwards on the replaced truck! Now, first thought is, OK we can hold the remote control backwards, but, no, then other motion is backwards - of course.
I took apart the control, expecting something simple, like the plastic tiny joystick that touches the actual switch was installed wrong. Nope, it's not that. The small PC board inside is very neat and orderly with 4 micro momentary-contact switches. All I can think of is one of them is supposed to be normally-open and one normally-closed and a wrong one was installed. A friend suggested that maybe the logic in the small chip was wrong (flashed wrong?).
Possibly the problem is in the truck, but I didn't have a small enough screwdriver. Even so, I'm not sure what could be backwards mechanically, or is a solenoid installed wrong.
Q/A for the win! (I could tell you stories from the family about Chinese Q/A. It's done a bit differently over there, as Mr. Lee explains below:
How do you run your Quality Assurance Department so cheaply, Mr. Lee?

Then, they've got a video of Lieutenant Mayo (of An Officer and a Gentleman) fame, crying "I've got no place left to go!"
Funny, funny people over there at Zerohedge, as we've been telling you all for years. Reading the comments will be a hoot, I tells ya.

Greetings again from the Hacking Capital of the World

Donald Trump said
"With all that being said, I don’t want countries to be hacking our country... They’ve hacked the White House. They’ve hacked Congress. We’re like the hacking capital of the world.”
He's a funny guy when he talks off the cuff. Hey, it goes both ways, Mr. Trump, or really, many different ways - government on government, government on foreigners, foreigners on American, American government on Americans, etc.* Ask Ed Snowden, the Mossad, the CIA, the NSA, the former KGB, Chinese graduate students - they all know the drill.
* OK this reminded me of something that cracks me up heavily. The setting is The Office with Dwight Schrute explaining to the (always non-visible) reality-show cameraman how the embarrassing pornographic watermark on many pallets of paper is not a big deal.
Anyway, I didn't write this to knock our President Elect - I like and support the guy. The stuff before "With all that being said ..." is about the ridiculous blame-the-Russians-for-influencing-16-elections meme that's going around.
For crying out loud, lots of foreigners influenced the election - maybe 5-25% of the 30-40 million illegal aliens for one thing. They used a simple method - voting. How about certain AntiChrists from Europe that use big money to support campaigns of certain AntiChrist runners-up? (runner ups to both being the AntiChrist and to being president - 0/2 for the Hildabeast - but we have some wonderful parting gifts!)

FACE IT, GLOBALISTS, YOU SCREWED THE POOCH!

More on the gov't/fake media's loss of control of the "narrative":
To expand on the last paragraph of the post below,
This culture war is really coming to a head. The media cannot suppress truthful facts and truthful opinions anymore, but the big guys did not get the internet locked-down in time. The big "plan" is falling apart.
Firstly, we don't really think there is a big "plan", just a lot of people that think the same way. There will be a post on this later.
Next, there is another major change that is in progress regarding the old Gov't/fake media vs. the new version of media. The old media were able to keep their stories straight, so long as a great majority of people's information was from the
Now, not only are people getting the truth from different outlets, pissing off the
From the article referred to by the article referred to [yes, meant to write that] in the last post:
… The message in conservative media is clear: Reverse discrimination — particularly against white Trump voters — is a big problem that the liberals in the media refuse to acknowledge. Oh, and by the way, Chicago (the part inhabited mostly by black people, anyway) is a super-dangerous place, just like Trump said.
The guy's being sarcastic, but what he just said is the Truth! (with the exception of the stupid phrase "reverse discrimination".) People know this, Callum, and BTW, what kind of fucked-up name is Callum, anyway? The lies are so much in our face now. The loss of trust, and any respect for, old-time media outlets has gone down the toilet due to 2, not just the obvious 1st reason here:
1) We can find out the lies from other sources - this is not 1975 with Walter Cronkite on CBS news at 6:30 PM. OK, this has been written about millions of times now.
2) The lies are so blatant now. We see and read these people lying to us, and even THEY KNOW (well, the few bright ones, anyway and their owners) that WE KNOW that it's lies! Yet, they continue.
The problem they have is, again, they could feed this crap to us, and we would have to eat it, if they already had the apparatus set up to arrest, get fired, or otherwise punish people for "daring" to oppose "official truth". They should have set this up before the blogs got started, before Breitbart, Instapundit, VDare, Amren, Infowars, (especially!) Zerohedge, and all the others, even, last but not least, PeakStupidity.com. Too many people are becoming awake, and too damn early! Face it, globalists, you screwed the pooch on this one.
