The pro-Trump Infowars website described the episode under a provocative headline: “White man kidnapped, gagged, beaten by racist black anti-Trump gang."

The result was consistent with the findings of researchers at Harvard and Tufts, whose 2011 study concluded that whites, overall, now view discrimination against white people as more prevalent than discrimination against black people.

“This perception is fascinating, as it stands in stark contrast to data on almost any outcome that has been assessed,” the researchers, Samuel Sommers and Michael Norton, wrote on the Post Everything blog in July. “From life expectancy to school discipline to mortgage rejection to police use of force, outcomes for white Americans tend to be — in the aggregate — better than outcomes for black Americans, often substantially so.”

AUDIT THE FED!

Ron Paul talked about this stuff way before most people were ready to listen. His son, Rand, seemed like a decent enough guy as US senators go, but that's not saying much, and I figured he was bought and paid for like the rest of them.

Drudge linked to article from "The Hill" website about a new push for auditing the Federal Reserve (which is neither Federal - it is a private bank) nor a Reserve of any real money of any sort).

From the The Hill article:

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have re-introduced legislation to “Audit the Fed,” after a similar effort stalled in the last Congress.

But such a proposal, which has been vocally opposed by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, may face its best odds ever of becoming law. Both chambers are controlled by Republicans long critical of the Fed’s policies, and President-elect Donald Trump has heaped scorn on the central bank since the beginning of his presidential campaign.

Paul specifically mentioned Trump in a statement about the bill Wednesday, making clear the measure’s proponents believe they have an ally in their cause coming to the White House.

“The U.S. House has responded to the American people by passing Audit the Fed multiple times, and President-elect Trump has stated his support for an audit. Let’s send him the bill this Congress,” said Paul.

The latest actual AntiChrist according to our part-time intern


Posted On: Tuesday - January 3rd 2017 7:13PM MST
In Topics:   AntiChrist  Hildabeast  Globalists

This is why here at PeakStupidity we adamantly refuse to give out stock tips. Within approximately 1 week's time, we are for the 3rd time, absolutely sure who may be is the AntiChrist.

These two posts about president-eject Øb☭ma and The Hildabeast, respectively, made efforts to demonstrate the fitness of these two beasts for the role of AntiChrist. However, upon further study, our part-time intern (it's hard to fire people who aren't really on the payroll) has submitted a damning report that leads us to believe that all signs lead to this guy:



PeakStupidity had had mixed feelings anyway with our decision to call it for the Hildabeast so early on in the game. It just seems like the AntiChrist would have done a better job to swing a simple thing like a US Red Team vs. Blue Team election in it's favor, especially considering the ace cards already out of the hole (Gov't press on-board, the votes from the dead and non-Americans and even dead non-Americans, and so on). Maybe the AntiChrist is also to be a moronic product of the public indoctrination centers schools, but that was not mentioned in Revelation.

Inflation and Prepping


Posted On: Tuesday - January 3rd 2017 9:45AM MST
In Topics:   Preppers and Prepping  Economics  Inflation

These two topics were linked below by my mentioning of the survival blogs (aka prepper sites) wrt inflation. The commenters on these sites discuss inflation a lot for these reasons:

1) If you're going to stock up seriously on things, it's of course best to get a very good deal, meaning also before the next expected price increase (or size decrease, which is really the same thing).

2) If one were to break down prepping into various levels, or stages of "concern", say, from "just don't want to be panicking next time a hurricane is forecast" all the way up to SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, Zombie Apocalypse level, I could think of a level even lower, call it prep-level 0. Why not just try to plan for the purchase of goods that will definitely go up in price and are very storeable? Sure, you can't store your next two vehicles easily, but how bout motor oil?

Inflation by Deflation


Posted On: Tuesday - January 3rd 2017 9:29AM MST
In Topics:   Curmudgeonry  Economics  Inflation  Scams

We mean "deflation" of product sizes. This is the first post on economics here, and there is room in the database for plenty more. We don't have the ability, and don't intend to, become a second zerohedge.com. However, hopefully some ideas can be written about here that relate, but don't copy, some of "The Tylers'" (zerohedge writers, supposedly all named Tyler Durden from Fight Club which this writer totally didn't get, BTW) stuff.

Now, we will go back to the subject, which is inflation. The back-and-forth commenting on zerohedge and some of the survival blogs is good stuff, as one can read real-world examples from (ya gotta' assume) real people. Oftentimes, when the comparison of supposed inflation of prices* by government bureaus to real life is discussed, commenters will bring up things we've also seen at the stores.

I don't have a particularly good long-term memory of details, but for some reason, I seem to remember that "this used to be made like this" or "cost this much" or be "bigger" much better than others whom I point out things too. Now, there are website like Shadowstats that give out a lot of data and use wide-ranging data collection and stats to compare to US Gov't BS values, so one example here doesn't make up an analysis. The reason we would like to show the coffee-flavored yogurt in the photo is to demonstrate how insidious smart the consumer products companies are about this.

Looky here - can you tell the difference?:


The price went down recently. Then the size changed from 6 oz. down to 5.3 oz. (these are weight ounces) last week. Firstly, as a technical guy, I like round numbers, so 5.3 oz. or even 5 oz is a dumb package size. But secondly, notice that the package shape is very similar - maybe 50 thousandths taken off each axis of the oval and about the same off of the height. It'd be hard to be sure a calculation on this matches the 11% decrease in volume, as the fill level may also be changed. Hey, this would be a cool project for the kids!

The price will go back up in a while, and then, after much sweat, many staff meetings, changes to expensive packaging molds and machine settings, talks with the label printers, and so on over at Dannon, they've made an effective 11% price increase that nobody (but PeakStupidity) has noticed. Very impressive! How 'bout be a man next time and just up the price and be done with it?

One more thing: I may have a good calibrated eyeball as technical people say - though the color change made me think about this before throwing the yogurt in the buggy, I could see that slight decrease in size! I then read the label that confirmed it.


* The definition of inflation by economists is the increase in the supply of money. The increase in prices that is bound to happen later is seen by them as a symptom. We realize this, but the general public's definition is the effect, not the cause, and we don't have a better other word.

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now


Posted On: Monday - January 2nd 2017 6:52PM MST
In Topics:   Music  California

For the continuation of our featuring of great Canadian musicians, we present Joni Mitchell singing Both Sides Now. Yes, this one is raw and doesn't have the great production like the Judy Collins version that was famous on the radio back in the day. Joni wrote this, and it has a beautiful tune and beautiful lyrics.

Oh, we added a topic key of "California" to this post, just due to the fact that Joni moved from Alberta to California as a young lady - I think she always kept that Canadian accent, but it's pretty understandable, compared to say, REM from Georgia. More about the once-beautiful California in later posts as promised, but it should be mentioned right here that Led Zeppelin's line in Going to California that says "Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair" was a reference to Joni.

NOTE: I had first thought that this video was stretched horizontally out of it's filmed aspect ratio, as she looks just a little hippy. No, I mean, I know she was a hippy, I'm talking about her hips. But, I don't think so, now. The truth is in this picture, which Peakstupidy.com possesses in it's attic, of the artist buck naked and spectacular*. It's from the inside of the folded-out album cover - see kids, you can't get this kind of stuff off your newfangled mp3 files, Lord knows I've tried. It's too bad though, they didn't show Joni from both sides then, from front and back, way back when...



*Oops, we neglected to mention that this was a photo from behind... , but STILL! Peakstupidity.com sincerely regrets thelack of frontal nudity error.

*********************************
[UPDATED 05/25:] Better late than never - just realized there was a joke in this - put that lyric line in at the end.

Why Social Justice Warriors Are So DEMENTED


Posted On: Monday - January 2nd 2017 6:08PM MST
In Topics:   Student and other Snowflakes  Political Correctness

You may have seen the guy who made this video, Paul Joseph Watson, before, as he's made multiple videos ridiculing these SJW's and political correctness. I've never run into any people like those in the video in real life, and that is just as well.

Mr. Watson is an expressive and funny guy, but keep the sound down if you work in, say, a nunnery or something like that. Just a word to the wise, or, more like it, to the not-so-completely wise.

Again, some funny people comment on youtube. Just a short exchange quoted here:

Me vs. Everybody6 months ago
That woman who threw the trash can wasn't demented... she was possessed.

She Wasn't Possessed, That's the way She Acts. I've been Possessed Before, I Didn't Even Act like That. That's the Reason Most People Convert to Christianity. I'm Glad I Converted So That Wouldn't Happen Again.
