Ooops, still political here this morning, but we'll put some nice REAL Christmas music up later on.
This comes to me from a friend who's been supplying me with a number of good memes.*
Vetting, indeed. From the Book of Mathew, Chapter 24, here's verse 19 (KJV): And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Well, we're no Kingdom of God here, and, in fact, are even farther from such a place than in the past. Yes, under the traitor Mayorkas and the Bai Dien Administration, rich man, poor man alike can enter America atop a camel through a wide gap in the razor wire, cut by some big fat Fed, who I imagine looks nothing like St. Peter. You may get a poke in the eye, blister on your finger, blister on your thumb... No, that ain't vettin'... that's the way ya do it.

The Sentencing of Derek Chauvin
Posted On: Saturday - December 23rd 2023 7:32PM MST
In Topics: US Police State Race/Genetics Anarcho-tyranny Legal Stupidity
This is one of 3 follow-up posts I wanted to write after the Peak Stupidity our review of The Fall of Minneapolis. If you're not familiar, that documentary is about the George Floyd death, the famous cop most directly involved, Derek Chauvin, the ensuing madness in that city soon after, and the trial/sentencing/jailing of Mr. Chauvin and 3 other cops, all shown from the view of Law Enforcement supporters.
The 1st such follow-up post was Fall of Minneapolis - Last Responders. This will be the 2nd, and the 3rd is somewhat on a different topic really, maybe to come, maybe not.
I had to go back to the video and scan back and forth to get just the scene I wanted, shown in still above. First, as warned* on the previous follow-up post, we are showing an image that may bring the reader bad memories, maybe even nightmares of that sick Kung Flu PanicFest era. That's from the scene in the courtroom when Mr. Chauvin, the guy with the mask, is being read out his outrageously long sentence of 22 1/2 years in prison. No matter if one cannot read autopsy reports, saw no video besides the one the Lyin' Press kept feeding him, and doesn't even try to get away from the Narrative, the worst charge he might expect is some level of manslaughter.
Yet, people are sentenced to 10-20 years and let out for good behavior in half that time for straight-out cold-blooded murder. Derek Chauvin was railroaded by an anti-White legal system and pressure from Black! and Communist shysters and thugs that held a standing threat against the jurors. I wouldn't call him a Political Prisoner in the sense of the J6 thousands, or some of the Charlottesville Unite-the-Right heritage defenders**, but his sentencing was highly political.
The reader may understand the point I'm about to make better if he would go to the video in that review post, right to 1:13:09 into it, to be exact. It's hard to read a man's face when he has one of those Kung Flu masks on, but I can really get a feeling of what the guy was Mr. Chauvin was thinking, leading to thoughts of what I'd be thinking. That led to my thoughts here, starting with: "I wonder if the guy had handcuffs on right then in the courtroom?"
Why? I don't know what he expected. I suppose he didn't expect to get stabbed 20-odd times by someone associated with the Feds a couple of years into it. He may have expected he wouldn't be treated well in a system with black guards and prisoners, though this may be why he opted for the Federal charges/sentence. Either way, if he does the whole 22 1/2, there won't be very much life left for him. He was born in 1976, so being incarcerated from his age of 45 during sentencing to 67 or 68 is terrible.
What happened to him was political, and that judge and others in the courtroom were part of it. My thoughts upon watching Derek Chauvin receive his sentence went along the lines of why wouldn't this strong and physically experienced cop decide to just put the whole situation "right", right there in the courtroom? Were his hands free, or even if not, could he have grabbed a gun from a bailiff and shot the whole place up? What exactly would he have to lose by doing that? This was his last chance at enacting ... something.
Those are dark thoughts, but it's what came to me when I saw the look in the man's eyes. I'll tell you what - we'll lighten up on Christmas Day.

From commenter Tim Berline (OK, I get the handle now, finally, haha), under this post about lumber comes a valid explanation for the warpage that made it more difficult for me to make what I wanted out of 2 x 8 lumber.
Way, way, back, when I was a kid, we had an uncle, aunt, and cousins who went on a long road trip to the West, a place I had never seen at that point. This is back when people sent postcards from the road. They sent us one of "The Crooked Forest", which I recall being in California. (There's always been so much weird stuff out there, you gotta figure ...) I wish I still had the postcard, because the internet ain't helping me one bit.*
Thanks for the laugh, Tim!
We'll try to get at least one substantial post up by end-o-week and before Christmas, which are tomorrow and Monday, respectively.
* There is a story about some trees like those in the meme above in Pomerania, Poland, but no, nobody up and went to Poland in those days. I'm thinking it was California, but then my mind might be playing tricks and confusing it with a postcard we got from them too of that famous crooked street in San Francisco. Yeah, one of the Dirty Harry movies (I think!) featured a car chase on it. Ridiculous - they got radios, unfortunately for some of us.

2 Items of net stupidity
Posted On: Wednesday - December 20th 2023 10:29AM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Curmudgeonry Race/Genetics Big-Biz Stupidity Customer Care
That "net" has nothing to do with the internet - we mean it as in "net total".
1) This is a follow-up to our recent post Autopay - it's sooooo convenient... . To sum that up, long story short, I am paying $10 more a month for phone service for 2 (for now, anyway) in order to avoid giving these people debit card or bank routing number info. They decided they no longer will take autopay via credit card. OK, I get that there are too many deadbeats, but I'm not one of them. Well, my requesting this was unexpected, I'm sure, and they likely have only a single-digit percentage of customers that do this - nobody else cares about privacy worries over convenience.
This old-is-new-again way was working swimmingly till this month. "We don't have your money. You owe us that, plus 20 bucks for being late." is what my phone read, to paraphrase. The hell you say. I made a call to a guy who at least is in the US (credit where credit is due). After telling him that "no, don't call me a liar, I most certainly did NOT get a bill this month, or I'd have sent in the money" he eased up on the tough talk and suggested he send me an email bill. "No. That's not how it works. I pay that extra $10, so they need to send me a bill with an envelope." It's in the mail, and I'll argue the $20 with another guy.
Big Biz wants all the benefits of electronics, but when you call their bluff, they can't handle the work. Screw you - do your job, and I'll keep up.
2) This goes under the category of "Nobody even cares anymore". We switched internet companies a couple of years back. That was due to the previous one having jacked up the price twice. I've gotten used to the bi-weekly or monthly junk mail from the old company trying to get me to add on a TV connection, as complained about here 4 years back in TV for thee, but not for me, even for free. I'm NOT getting TV, but knock yourselves out sending me back crap with customers' subscription money.
The latest mail was slightly more amusing. "Oh, it's the same thing again, as from way back... no, but wait, this is my CURRENT internet company trying to get me to hook up to the internet!". This is the new way. It's not the first time for this same sort of thing. I suppose it's just too damn much trouble to subtract off info on your own customers in your database from your database of potential customers. That'd take like, an IT guy a day or two to set up. Nah, just send them out to everyone. OK, fine, fireplace fuel is good.
3) I've had this item on my desk since some minor election this past November 7th. It's a black lady, a local businesswoman, running for City Council-At-Large, the flyer says. I really can't tell how at-large she is, as there is only a picture from the breasts up, in which she has a smile that says "I am a serious businesslady, and I am serious about our neighborhood."
Our area "deserves" results such as:
* Safer Communities and Less Crime
* Safer Roads
* Cleaner Communities
* Less Illegal Dumping
* Better Housing Opportunities
* Less [sic] Abandoned Properties
Uh, that'd be great, but lady, you do know that the way to get that is to have fewer black and brown people? Just whaddya' up to here, planning for genocide of your own Communities of Color? That's not nice.
It says at the bottom "Give The People What They Want". (Good and hard?) Errrrmmm, depending on WHICH people, that may or may not work for me.
4) In late November, I related the story of my returning Chinese-made bearings to Wal-Mart in No bearing on the matter? Well, as much as I detest the whole Wal-Mart Walton Family owners* in northwest Arkansas, I will give Wal-Mart due credit here for crediting my card back with the $100 for buying unknown-to-me Chinese made bearings. Amazon had the good Timken ones - I could not get them locally, and they've been out of stock a lot until recently.
I had only opened one of the four plastic bags, so, besides double shipping, they aren't out anything. Thanks for your understanding, Wal-Mart ... computers!
That's 3 stupid items and one non-stupid, giving us a net 2 items of stupidity this morning. Thanks for reading the mundane curmudgeonly post. We'll get back to the larger view of stupidity in subsequent posts.

Free Advice for a future President Trump
Posted On: Tuesday - December 19th 2023 12:40PM MST
In Topics: Elections '16 - '26 Humor Trump Globalists The Neocons
Whether he's going to end up in the White House or working from jail*, depending on the scale of the D's election cheating scheme, Donald Trump is more likely than any of the GOPers to be President in '25. An important question is did he learn much from his strategic and tactical failures and just plain intensely stupid moves made from '17 through '21?
I talked to some friends about this, yet again, and the conversation led me to an idea so brilliant, the light bulb above my head made a significant carbon footprint (not to mention the burned hair). Some of the intensely stupid moves I had in mind was President Trump's picks for his cabinet members and other appointees. Like so:
Yeah, yeah, it was only UN Ambassador - she can't do TOO much harm, can she? So? First of all, WHY?? You've got to look into these people! For a guy who purported to be, and I believe actually is, against the Potomac Regime Warfare State, do you want a Globalist NeoCon as UN Ambassador representing us?
For a guy who was said to be playing 5D chess... well, wait a minute. Was the idea to get the South Carolina traitorous** Governor Haley AWAY from the State in order to allow a helpful Conservative to take the office? This doesn't help with Congressional voting (surely?) he knows. Still, if we apply a little Federalism now and then, Governors' lives matter)
I don't know if her NeoCon behavior at the UN was noticed, but that may have gotten Mrs. Nimarata the visibility required to become BGGS (Big GOP Globalist Stooge) this campaign season. Oh, and she badmouths the guy who got her this visibility, so now he says, she says ...
Nah, that probably was not 5D Chess, and more like a checkers move that results in an opposition triple-jump and King-crowning. However, here IS some 5D chess. Paying attention, Trump? Donald, PUT! THE! PHONE! DOWN! No, down... all the way! Get your fingers ... drop it!
Here's what ya' do: You start appointing NeoCon, ctrl-left, you-name-it all-manner-of-opposition Governors, US Senators, and US Reps to all these high-level positions. Ambassadors, Ombudsmen and OmBudLightsWomen(?), D.I.E. Commissars, Gender Czars****, etc. Make 'em offers they no canna refuse. Make sure there are real Conservatives in position to replace them - this takes something called PLANNING, "pee" "el" "double-en" ... yeah, you SAY you got it, but do ya' (punk)?! You do some analysis ... no don't try spelling that, that's what the few decent people you hire are for.
OK, but wait, what if they start doing bad stuff, is that the question? That's the brilliant part. All these appointees will be in the Executive branch, of which the President is the Administrator. (Yeah, right there, Article II, Section 1, first line of that thingy you swore about back in '17.) You wait a few weeks, make sure each's successor to his previous office has been sworn in, and then YOU FIRE THEM.
Before you became President the 1st time around, I could have sworn that you were on some TV show, the only thing I knew of it being that you were continually saying "Ya' Fiyad". ("You're fired", in non-NYC English) This should all come back to you once you get started.
Sure, at some point the ctrl-left Establishment might get wise to this whole scheme - yes, it IS a scheme, to be honest. That's why you've got to plan ahead and try to do most of this in parallel. Remember who these people are though. They want power above all. They won't be able to help themselves. For a big change, why don't YOU be Lucy, and let the enemy be Charlie.... Brown, that is?
Here's the best of it. This is advice that can change the whole political environment, making it easier for you to get things done, yet, I'm giving you this advice at NO CHARGE!
* Likely a better environment for him when it comes to distractions.
** I may write another post to explain better.
*** Yeah, there should be more on him too, maybe in the same post about the previous Governor. Every opinion out of wiki is bad, so that's GOOD. Example: "He also said that South Carolina should "secede" over Don't Ask, Don't Tell." I think SC has better things to secede over, but still, I like the way the man thinks...
**** Why are there no Czars in the American Feral Gov't Executive branch anymore? Yes, of course we covered that! It was kind of stupid. Everything stupid, we cover, OK? (See Where have all the Czars gone?)

Hail to You - Sexual Sexual Suicide vs Family Formation
Posted On: Monday - December 18th 2023 11:47PM MST
In Topics: Feminism Pundits Big-Biz Stupidity
Sexual Suicide is the name of a 50 y/o book by one George Gilder, written less than a decade into the modern wave of feminism. Its cover blurb says "Can we survive the rising tide of feminism? Or are we doomed to a life without family and marriage"* At 50 years later to the month, pundit and frequent Peak Stupidity commenter E.H. Hail presented the long New York Times essay that preceded the full book, in its entirety, (well, sure you can) and thoroughly discussed it a couple of months back. His post is George Gilder’s essay “Sexual Suicide” (1973), a landmark attack on feminism and warning for the future, revisited and reappraised at its 50-year mark.
Starting off from the words of one comment of a naysayer under his Sexual Suicide post, Mr. Hail has a new long essay up on his Hail to You blog titled Who is responsible for the decline in family-formation in the U.S. and the rest of the West?. I'd first thought that the comment instigated this essay and that is was a just a follow-up to the essay on the George Gilder book (due to its cover being displayed early in the post). However, there's a whole lot to this one, and I'll enjoy reading it tomorrow, with comments to follow.
Mr. Hail presents a number of important questions relating to family formation:
* Why did family-formation (stable relationship-formation on a “family” trajectory) decline so precipitously?Since I haven't read it yet, I cannot say whether Mr. Hail answers or attempts to answer, all of the questions. That 3rd question of the first item, whether any of this is a problem, goes along with the slow-moving Peak Stupidity series on the "Depopulocalypse"**.
* What went “wrong”? Who or what is responsible?
Is the decline in family-formation a problem at all? Can it be said to have “gone wrong”? Or is it really better now after all?
* On the other hand, if the drop in family-formation is a problem, how could it be solved? Who has the power to change it?
* What ideological- or personality-driven forces are at play in keeping up the low-family-formation norm of our time?
* Can family-formation happen in a healthy and sustainable way if women are direct competitors in the “job-market” and social-status market, with “their” men?
* How many social and political problems emanate from the weakness of White family-formation, including (e.g.) the much-commented-upon rise of a political class of educated, single women? And such things as the opioid epidemic?
Starting from the commenter's argument, the question of equal pay for equal work between the sexes comes up, but not in the usual apples-to-oranges complaint form out of the modern Feminist ctrl-left. Nope, this goes the other way, in a manner that is older in fashion - OK, more old-fashioned - than we've heard discussed seriously in public since, well before I've heard ANYTHING discussed, because I wasn't around. This goes back to real Conservatism, with the point that the role of men should require more pay for employment as to enable that family formation.
Even asking that question would be unheard of in any modern day discussion. As a Libertarian, I say government mandates would be anathema to me, but that's not necessary. Then there's also the economic argument that has been applied to the modern version of the equal pay for equal work question. If an employer really were paying more to the men, in a truly apples-to-apples situation, i.e., there were no effects of different dedication and working hours for salaried employees, no differences in long-term employment (as with maternity leaves coming at any time for highly-paid doctors), etc., wouldn't another employer come out ahead hiring ONLY women to save costs and outperform the former in the market?
Conservatives say it's NOT all about money in the long run, but then Big Biz is no longer the Big Biz of yester-half-century with non-diverse Conservative White men who might actually understand the value of family formation. It took not just understanding, but a concern for the long-term health of society. That doesn't seem to be a factor now for Big Biz. If anything, they are not just uncaring but working hard to destroy themselves, along with any healthy society, via Wokeness.
I didn't mean to get into that discussion at all. I will leave more for comments under Mr. Hail's post.
* Oh, and the image of the book cover says $1.95. We'll leave that be ...
** Term coined by blogger John Carter in his Postcards from Barsoom site, from which came a series of essays from which we, yes still, intend to discuss depopulation.

Projection by the ctrl-left in it's purest form

In Topics: Lefty MegaStupidity Trump Media Stupidity ctrl-left
I don't go for a lot of psychological mumbo-jumbo, neither believing much of it nor even using the terms. However, after pooh-poohing the idea of psychological projection and chalking it up to just normal stupid or evil behavior, I came across a textbook example of this phenomena. I mean, were I writing a textbook, I would have to find some way to include this video!
Per the website Psycho Central (wait, that's Psyche Central), I get the following:
From the expert:Here's that 3 minute mix of TV news talking heads that perfectly demonstrates psychological projection. It's titled Media Warn If Trump’s Re-Elected Every Bad Thing They Can Possibly Imagine Will Happen. Because I am not a TV watcher, I'd never have believed someone if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes here:
“Projection is seeing something unconsciously experienced inside and placing it on someone else,” explains Timothy Yen, PsyD, Bay Area, California. “In some cases, projection can be something that bothers the individual about him, but he may be unable or unwilling to deal with the issue.” [Gender mistakes in original fixed.]
I couldn't tell if the youtube poster went for the projection out of the mouths of these talking psychos. The commenters sure don't.

The fat fingers of Mayor Wu
Posted On: Friday - December 15th 2023 8:51PM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity Race/Genetics ctrl-left
Boston has a Chinese* lady for a Mayor. Wiki says "She was the first woman and first non-white mayor of Boston." Still, is, unfortunately. This is another way of saying that Boston has held its own for a long time in electing White Men as Mayor. With this bi-fecta, things were bound to get stupid quickly. Here's who the City of Boston has been dealing with for a couple of years:
While on the Boston City Council, Wu authored several ordinances that were enacted. This included an ordinance to prevent the city from contracting with health insurers that discriminate in their coverage against transgender individuals. She also authored ordinances to have the city protect wetlands, support adaption to climate change, enact a plastic bag ban, adopt Community Choice Aggregation, and provide paid parental leave to municipal employees. As a city councilor, Wu also partook in a successful effort to adopt regulations on short-term rentals.Except regarding that last one, which might actually benefit constituents, one can see that she is pretty hard-left.. There's lots more beyond this. I'll leave most of it, except for the near and dear subject at Peak Stupidity of the Kung Flu PanicFest. Again, from Wiki:
In December 2021, Wu announced a city COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Under the mandate, people ages 12 and older, in order to enter indoor public venues (bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters, and sports venues) in Boston, would be required to show proof of at least their first COVID-19 vaccine dose by January 15, 2022, and of full vaccination by February 15, 2022.Oh, yeah, some of this is coming back to me. Didn't Boston residents all spend that winter in Florida? I remember the pushback too:
The mandate promoted opposition, and in an interview with Boston Public Radio, Wu stated that she received racist messages in response to vaccine requirements.I'm guessing they went something like "Your people spread the Flu Manchu, so screw you, Wu!"
Some opponents circulated false rumors about Wu being hospitalized for panic attacks while in office.Whaddya' mean, rumors? The whole thing very obviously WAS a panic attack! Shoulda' put HER on the ventilator. It's not just the Kung Flu though, with this lady. She's HARD LEFT, through and through. How does THAT happen to a (formerly) pretty Chinese lady?
Michelle Wu grew up on the south side of Chicago, so she ought to know about race. She's either on some life-long guilt trip or she figures if you can't beat them, and you don't want them to beat (the hell out of) you, join them... for a party.
Yes, yes, I can't eat dog meat due to my faith's stance on specieism. Will there some horse d'Oeuvres available or something?
Now, Mayor Wu has said some blatantly anti-White things before and got called out on it. This latest kerfuffle, her inviting only non-White City Councilpersons(?) to a "Holiday" party, was not MEANT to be as blatant. In fact it was a girls' high-school style clique thing, meant to be announced in secret, but Mayor Wu fat-fingered the [Reply to All] button.
Now, listen, don't get us wrong here at Peak Stupidity. We are nothing if not strict Constitutionalists here. One ought to be able to invite anyone he wants to, and discriminate against anyone he wants to, when it comes to party invitations, just as with anything else. (Except possibly if said party is held on the taxpayers' dime. The taxpayers ought to be invited.)
I would hope Michelle Wu wouldn't have had a problem with the rest of the Boston City Council taking advantage of the email list to email the lot of them about a Whites only Christmas party. Right, Mayor Wu?
The New York Post reports that Mayor Wu has apologized for, well something - Boston Mayor Michelle Wu defends ‘electeds of color’ holiday party after invitation backlash: ‘Honest mistake’. Wait, so she's apologizing for fat-fingering the controls in Outlook but not for having a "Whites need not attend" Christmas party.
In her own words:
You'd expect this lady to have skinny fingers and be playing piano. Must be a stereotype.
It came across pretty clear, but it was just not supposed to come across. Got it. Again, how does someone get like this? I think that's a question that should be answered in a nice analysis by E.H. Hail, who hopefully has the funds for consultations with a psychologist, nay, a whole TEAM of crack psychoanalysts straight out of Vienna.
PS: I stayed off The Unz Review yesterday, so I missed that Steve Sailer had written a post on this. A few things I wrote are duplicated in the comments there - I swear I didn't plagiarize, so help me, Zhou Bia Dien... and that Gay lady... and Marty King, Jr.
iSteve wrote: "Second, “electeds” is a novel and funny word. It’s reminiscent of inviting “retardeds of color.”". I agree. I thought that sounded stupid. How about electards to keep in concise? That'll cover all of them.
* Lots of people would take issue with THAT, calling someone of Taiwanese ancestry "Chinese". Those people would be mostly Taiwanese. However, she can't say squat about this, not with as many mainland Chinese immigrants as there are now.

That old Wage-Price Spiral phenomenon
Posted On: Thursday - December 14th 2023 7:43PM MST
In Topics: Music Trump Economics Inflation Zhou Bai Dien
Fool me once, shame on you, especially with my being a youngster and you all being PhD economists! Fool me twice, well, that ain't agonna happen regarding this old theory of the clueless on inflation.
Many of you readers will remember this. It was the mid/late 1970s through early '80s. Inflation was high. Per Paul McCartney and his old band*, prices at the grocery story were higher than the time before, wages had to go up to match prices, and mortgage rates were in the high teens. We are seeing this again, except for the mortgage rates in the high teens (much higher by the FED would bust the dollar)
Yeah, back in the day, these "experts" were saying on the B&W TV on Sunday mornings that it's a spiral, that's all. High prices mean wages must go up, so companies then must charge higher prices to make money, causing employees to demand higher wages, causing... [Hey, when do we get off this thing? - Ed] It sounded right to me. "Sure, if just wages or prices could be held constant for a few months or whatever it takes, then the whole inflation thing will be licked. #WIN - That's Whip Inflation Now. Whip it good! (No wait, Devo came around at the tail end of it, 6 years after the WIN buttons, and # signs were for "pounds", dammit!) I don't remember anyone asking how the spiral got started. Just a perturbation of The Force?
Well, what was a kid to know about the Federal Reserve and monetary phenomena? Didn't the economists know about this stuff nearly half a century ago though? Well there was Milton Friedman, back in 1970, saying "It [inflation] is always and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon." Yet, there was talk out of these heads** about price controls, wage controls, and wage and price controls. Though no Socialist even in that day, I still figured temporary measures such as those might stop the whole inflation thing.
Well, they've been controlling wages hard since that time by opening the borders and immigration depts. wide and high for that cheap labor. You'll still hear "I did that"*** Bai Dien calling out some company for being mean and jacking up prices, just, what, for the freaking hell of it? (Their inputs aren't all labor.) Prices go up very simply because Supply & Demand. For a given productivity more (FED created) currency is chasing the same goods and services, so prices of them will go up.
I really hope I don't start hearing about that Wage-Price Spiral this time around. It'd be nice if Americans could learn the simple cause of inflation from not just two guys! (Ron Paul and me, that'd be. Milton Freeman died in '06.)
Tell you what, I've got to repeat this song. Just due to the one verse, it fits this post, or any one of the many Inflation posts on this blog.
I took my bag**** into the grocery store.
The price is higher than the time before.
Old man asked me "Why is it more?"
I said you should have seen me with the poker man.
I had a honey and I bet a grand.
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
down to junior's farm where I want to lay low.
Low life, high life, oh, let's go.
Take me down to junior's farm.
Take me down, Jimmy!
Junior's Farm was not on any of the Wings great albums, except maybe a greatest hits collection. "Jimmy" is Jimmy McCollough, lead guitarist, one of a few in succession, in addition to Denny Laine, always with this band. This was, in fact, Mr. McCollough's first song recorded with the band. He died very young at 26, as many rock stars did, due to rock star causes, aka drugs.
* Yes, this guy was in a famous band before he was a solo artist, very long ago. It was called Wings
** Not to imply for certain they were indeed pot heads, as "heads" meant during those years, but ...
*** Now, I'm not at all saying it's all on Bai Dien here. That EXTRA $4,000,000,000,000 spent cause, GERMS!, was instigated with Trump in office and the Congress of the time. Additionally, Trump has been known to brag and deflect blame. Maybe you haven't noticed this ... he's so subtle ...

This post may or may not be humorous for the reader, as some stories go over much better orally. It IS for me though, and I thank my good friend for letting me borrow this one for the blog. Anything for the blog...
About the image: Early in the lifetime of Peak Stupidity, a commenter suggested there be images with the posts, and I agree this is important.* It's nice to have some help envisioning the story.
This story is from an engineering classroom in the 1980s. B&W pictures were already just for artsy folks and those with low budgets in the mid-1980s, but that's all I got. Any pictures I pulled up of "Chinese professor American university classroom", or with "engineering" thrown in there showed diverse classes with lots of women and weird new furniture.
In those days, there would have been 85% to 95% guys in the class - occasionally 100%, almost all White, and old-fashioned metal/wood individual adult classroom desks/chairs. Oh, and at that point I'd venture that there'd be no more than 10-15% foreign professors, perhaps 5-10% of professors being Oriental. The kids, and I can vouch for this, may have seen NO, or just a handful of, Chinese people in their lives before** and had a hell of a time with the accents.
Finally, for this set-up. No straight man wants to be assumed to be gay. If not insulting, something is not right if people think that. Even today, that's the case, though things are different. If it's a hiring manager that makes that assumption, than, well, let it slide - that's nothing but a good thing, so long as he's not trying to pick you up!
SEE?! This is why it's hard to do this. Really, the biggest problem is that you can't envision my friend's facial expressions, but I can. I'm laughing already ...
Alright, so my friend came into the engineering class 5-10 minutes late. You get behind in there, and catching up is not easy, so the Chinese professor was concerned about this. After a while he came up to my friend's desk, wondering how he'd get the notes he'd missed taking.
"Do you have a buddy?" [Sounded like "body".]
"Errr, what?"
[Very slowly now.. ] "Do you have a bud-dy?"
[Getting pissed now, but this guy's the Professor!] "What?" [Looks around the room at the other students.]
"Do.. .you ... have ... a ... bud-dy?
"Whadda' mean?!!"
The whole class was cracking up, as I am now.
* Unless I have no opportunity to grab some image or present one of my own, I do this for each post. That is, unless there's video in the post.
** I knew a brother and sister only, but then there may have been 4 or 5 more at whatever Chinese restaurant there was around. (They would have been from Taiwan or Hong Kong. Almost no mainland Chinese people came to America in those years.)

That's what I get for depending on my memory after over 4 months. I'd wanted to do a comparison of website access in China in '23 vs the situation in '17, as covered here.
No, I didn't take notes, and I apologize for that. I'll just note the few things I do remember, which includes one important point. You can see that yahoo has been banned in China for a couple of years now. Yahoo news is nothing but Regime Narrative distribution, but I will say they took a stand when it comes to Chinese heavy-handedness and its Orwellian urge to control information.
Per this article from the time on a Chinese site, no it's not that, it's a...
... move that experts say is driven by its own business failure and has nothing to do with China's business and legal environment.But,
In a statement emailed to the Global Times, the company citied [sic] "the increasingly challenging business and legal environment in China" as its reason for exit. Yahoo's exit also prompted criticisms in some foreign media outlets about China's business and legal environment for foreign firms.Then again,
However, such assertions are refuted by Chinese internet and legal experts, who attributed the US company's failure to its poor competitiveness in the Chinese market.Sure, I'll believe a Chinese expert on internet freedom when I get done aptly listening to Anthony Fauci teach me about contagious disease.
Anyway, youtube was still off the air there, with nothing but black frames of whatever size the webmaster made them. I really, really wish I'd tried, or remembered what the deal was with bitchute or rumble.
I was able to read and comment on The Unz Review with no problem other than the same sporadic blockage that I see in America. Peak Stupidity was up too. With all that I write about China, you'd think some cadre over there in Peking would have found us. (Maybe it's because I write "Peking", and that evades their searches.)
Here's the big point: The Chinese can't seem to block anything downloaded on smart phones. Yet that's what many people (not me, because it's exasperating!) use as their primary means of getting on-line, from what I see, most ESPECIALLY in China. As most besides the high-status Government types pretty much missed the whole Alexander Graham Bell landline era, I doubt many Chinamen had much in the way of desktop computers for very long before the time of the Apple iCrap.
The Chinese Government controls The Peoples' iEspionage devices in many ways, the most basic being the registration of the SIM cards. A National ID card - no simple piece of laminated card stock anymore - is needed to get a SIM card, and the number of them one may get is limited. We needed to borrow a phone belonging to a Chinese woman for some apps. I didn't want to get her in trouble looking at this or that, so I can't be sure it could also get any website I could on mine. I could see there possibly being a difference, even though we were, of course, using Chinese networks. Does my carrier have a deal with them in which the data is downloaded outside China on our normal network here, then sent along?
I don't know enough about it, so I'll stop here. Is there some fundamental computer-technological reason the Chinese Gov't can't block websites on phones?* It'd be cool if there were.
* Yahoo is a different story, as it was yahoo's call to NOT be accessible from China.

Fall of Minneapolis - Last Responders
Posted On: Monday - December 11th 2023 7:04PM MST
In Topics: Lefty MegaStupidity Race/Genetics Legal Stupidity
(Caution: Reader discretion advised! There are references in this post to pieces of video containing very bad memories of plexiglas and face masks. Rated PG-19.)
I've read questions and discussion about the "First Responders"* and their role in the life and death of National Martyr George Floyd, that otherwise ordinary (for black reprobates) Monday in May of '20. We'll just go old-school here and call them EMS or ambulance drivers and firemen and -women.
That firewoman above is at-the-time 2-year employee of the Minneapolis Fire Department, one Genevieve Hansen. The screenshot above from The Fall of Minneapolis was taken in the courtroom during the criminal trial of cop Derek Chauvin. (The reader should start at the 55:45 mark.) She doesn't look good in it. I don't mean that just her non-girlish figure and the various dumb looks on her face. She comes across as completely for the Narrative of George Floyd the Martyr. Well, I suppose she was a witness for the prosecution (as far as I know), fair enough, but she can be seen as a bullshitter, to say the least.
The cops called a dispatcher for EMS 36 seconds after finally getting this guy pinned down. That's when they were sure he had medical problems, though they must have had a real clue since the time he rolled down the window of his car long before. At some point later, maybe a couple of minutes - no more than 9 - Miss Hansen was at the scene, but not on duty. She made an effort to ask the cops about EMS, and they told her something about it. At that point she became one with the on-looking harrassers, both unprofessional in actions and looks. The documentary shows all this.
Back to the trial, Miss Hansen told the attorney questioning her that she knew there was a Fire Station, #17, just a couple of blocks away. The question put to her was whether the cops were supposed to arrange that or the dispatchers. Of course the dispatchers do, and she had to know that already. I do, and I'm not a first, second, or even third responder (unless it's by accident). (Go to 57:12 in the documentary for this.) My question as the defense attorney x-examining this piece of work would have been "If the fire station is only 2 blocks away, why didn't YOU run down there yourself to alert someone, since the dispatchers were having miscommunications with the firemen?"
That was the deal - there was a delay (over 8 minutes) in the arrival of the ambulance - which came before any firemen, who had arrived, but at the Cup Foods, which was no longer where the cops and George Floyd were. It couldn't have been far, as the guy never ran, and the whole reason this controversial knee on the shoulder/neck move was done was because they never could get him fully into one of the police cars. Was that delay and miscommunications due to AA in the hiring of dispatchers? That's very possible, but I don't know.
The video shows transcription of a few calls related to this delay on the police radio. (@ 58:50.) See what you think.
Peak Stupidity will not analyze the whole Derek Chauvin/George Floyd story. There's the documentary, and our readers likely have found many sources and already formed solid opinions. There's one more small piece of the story I may write about, but it's only tangentially related to the whole thing.
It's time for something different tomorrow. Back to China? Not physically, but yeah...
* Actually he cops are considered to be First Responders too, but they are what this story is all about, their being there the whole time.

The falls of Minneapolis and South Africa, and Alex Jones "on" Brian Seltzer
Posted On: Saturday - December 9th 2023 7:07PM MST
In Topics: Websites Humor Movies Pundits Race/Genetics Anarcho-tyranny Legal Stupidity
First off, it may seem like Peak Stupidity is nothing but a spin-off, as they used to say in TV land, of The Unz Review. I do take a lot of idea for posts off that site. I wouldn't say that's where all our news comes from, but it leads me pretty well to stories. Also, it's my go-to site for entertainment, especially for the posts from iSteve (Steve Sailer, that is.)
The first 2 of these 3 items today come from that site, so make of that what you will.
Jared Taylor is a race realist and the guy we featured in a short interview clip at the beginning of this week.* He puts together weekly posts on his American Renaissance site that get crossposted here on The Unz Review. I wrote "puts together" rather than "writes", as these are a mixture of short pieces of text, some pictures, and some video clips. I realized that his own video show does the same job of putting the same things together. Mr. Taylor speaks in a soft civil manner, always calm, collected, and reasonable.
This latest one about the fall of not Minneapolis (yet), but South Africa is only 13 minutes, but he does an excellent job in that time. The ruination of that once 1st-World country was the subject of an 8-part series here on Peak Stupidity earlier this year called Cry the DeConstructed Country. (See Part 1 - - Part 2 - - Part 3 - - Part 4: Anecdote on Anti-Apartheid - - Part 5: Cold and Hot Wars, and the Commies, of course - - Part 6: Africa Wins - - Part 7: 1st World Memories of Suid Afrikaanse Lugdiens and Part 8: As Falls S. Africa ....) This video goes right along with what we had to say, but his format is perhaps better.
From Jared Taylor's post Mooncalves at Harvard Think They Understand Africa:
What a sorry shame it is, all brought on by do-gooder Whites of the Western world, for the most part. It's just under 3 decades since White rule ended, and South Africa has first gradually, and lately, suddenly, gone to ruin. Please take the time to watch that short video.
Next, for those interested in The Fall of Minneapolis documentary, in addition to that review of ours, you will probably want to check out this review by one Anastasia Katz**. This one is so much more comprehensive than ours that we feel a bit embarrassed. However, I don't usually have time for something like that - yesterday's post was just a quick overview, and the idea was to help spread the video around. The comments under Miss Katz's review are fairly lit.
Finally, via a friend's link to ZeroHedge, I got to the Tucker Carlson interview of Alex Jones. They too, were pretty lit, as apparently, previous to the interview Mr. Jones made a prank phone call to one Brian Seltzer (of CNN) while drinking with Tucker Carlson. I'd never heard of the guy before, but Alex Jones has. This is not typical of the whole 1 hour, 35 minute interview, but, yeah, Alex Jones most definitely had heard of Brian Seltzer.
(Rumble lets one specify a start time, but not an end time, apparently. Give Tucker a chance to come back on and then give him ~20 more seconds.)
Whatever meds he's on, I want the opposite, Doc! OK, look, I like Alex Jones. He speaks a lot of truth. Besides all of the discussion in the whole interview, which I can't get into here, Mr. Jones has been a stalwart Constitutionalist in the past, back when there was still more of a point to it. His voice has improved a bit, part of the time too. However ... he can get a little, errrr, carried away? Nah, I think this is entertainment, and he loves it so. So does Tucker, So do I. I am smiling as I write this.
Is he even using a phase shifter at one point, you know, like Paul McCartney used to?
That was a busy blog week! We'll never run out of material, folks. Thanks for reading and writing in. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
* Additionally, we've written about him here and here.
** I had to guess on Miss vs. Mrs, as I couldn't find out much about her. She is wisely pretty anonymous. What I did find out is that, lo and behold, he writes for American Renaissance too here. In fact, I realize I'd read her previous article.

Another Year, another dud
Posted On: Friday - December 8th 2023 5:23PM MST
In Topics: Movies Socialism/Communism
Since it's turning into movie week here at Peak Stupidity, we continue with a review of an actual fiction movie. This review of the '11 Cannes Film Festival-featured* Another Year will be fairly brief. "If you can't think of anything nice to say, ..." hasn't stopped us in the past, but this will be closer to taking that advice.
There was really no excuse for my having sat through this entire motion picture. True, it was free. However, after the first minute of the movie, I realized that this was one I'd borrowed from the library before. The first scene, which didn't really have squat-all to do with the movie plot, if you could call it that, showed a black lady doctor at the British National Health Service, or so I assume. (The characters spoke British English, and there being this doctor and the one very depressing insomniac patient, it must have been the NHS. That was depressing due to the Socialism alone.) Due to this politically correct scene at the very beginning, I had almost nothing invested, so I ejected this sucker last time.
Why did I venture further this time? I don't know. Even though the movie was free to watch for me (thanks property taxpayers!), my 2 hours and 9 minutes was worth something. Didn't the producers of Another Year realize that?
Here's the plot, such as it is: There's this older happily married couple. They do some gardening at a plot a drive away from their house, they have a son that visited later on in the movie, and their 35-40 y/o friend Mary from the lady of the house's workplace - that health service office - comes over a lot to share her troubles. There are four seasons of this in the movie.
Let me just say that Another Year may be a "slice of life" and very artsy and true-to-life. Sure, but, I really thought that, in those 2 hours and 9 minutes, something was gonna freaking happen! Nope.
The reader who has seen this picture may differ greatly in opinion. If you haven't seen it, you may want to read the synopsis and the high-rating reviews there on the IMDB page linked-to above. I went the other way for my after-viewing perusal of reviews. A guy named Gerry wrote:
2 hours and 5 minutes of an utter suicidal, depressive, boring image of life in the UK. I know its bad here in the UK but if this were a true example of life in the UK, then, I think there would be a huge outcry to legalise assisted suicide in this country.From a few more not-so-impressed reviewers:
No plot, no story development, no character development, characters come and go without warning and without any conclusion. How this can be nominated for an Oscar is beyond me. Yes we all know that award ceremonies these days are politically motivated, but what is the motivation behind this? 'Don't complain about life, it could be like this'.
It is like having a webcam on a series of uncomfortable gatherings that you can only be thankful you are not attending, except that you are paying to witness them instead. Two hours of my life that I will never get back and I would like a refund!You paid money, as in real British sterling? Sucker!
Having had 2 friends fall asleep whilst I watched it with them (one of which has never before fallen asleep in a film) proves my point at how excruciating this film is to watch.Welcome to the .... zzzzz... party(?), pal! I only fell asleep 2 or 3 times, but that's not unusual.
This film certainly aged me. 2 hours of plodding wooden drama with minimal interplay between the principals and almost no story development at all.Not every IMDB user thought these reviews helpful. Believe you me, they're helpful.
A great sense of relief came over me when the fade to screen indicated that it was over after a penultimate excruciatingly slow morose scene between 2 near mute characters.
My idea of hell would be dinner with the director of this leaden effort.
A totally joyless experience all round, in keeping with most of his body of work.
Thankfully it was half price day at the cinema so we only felt 1/2 cheated of our hard earned cash.
PS: I almost forgot - the movie was filmed in Derby and Derbyshire, England. Good job, John, getting out!
* Note to self: This year, spend more time at the gun range instead.

The Fall of Minneapolis
Posted On: Thursday - December 7th 2023 9:33PM MST
In Topics: Movies Media Stupidity Race/Genetics ctrl-left Legal Stupidity
The astute, on-the-ball Peak Stupidity readers will have probably all heard of this documentary and many likely already watched it. I'll just refer to The Fall of Minneapolis as a movie here, and this will be a review, for those not sure if they want to spend the 1 hour and 42 minutes watching. The video appears below, but the link here goes to the movie on rumble in case you have any problems here (such as not being able to view full-screen, etc.)
There's no reason for me to go over the whole case here, of the death of fentanyl-overdosing, violent, reprobate George Floyd, the excuse for a summer or more of violence, looting, burning, and destruction, then the racially-motivated show trial. I'd learned a lot within a few days of what real story was more likely than that this poor innocent George Floyd was the victim of murder.
What really miffs me when I read arguments on-line today (with the news of Derek Chauvin having been stabbed 22 times in the Federal prison in Tucson) is that it’s taken 3 years for people to get the story! Maybe it’s because I DIDN’T watch TV news on the story that I DID know what really happened – not all details, mind you, but the gist of it – within a couple of weeks.
I’m not a cop, forensic expert, lawyer, any of that. I just read things and pulled up video at the time. Some of it has indeed been censored. Maybe the public will SOMEDAY, EVENTUALLY learn that they will be more informed if they don’t watch the standard Lyin’ Press Narrative Infotainment. It shouldn’t take this long, to where the man got railroaded in a coerced Stalinist show trial after pressure from months of Black Looter Mayhem and antifa Commie destruction and threats.
OK, about The Fall of Minneapolis now: The title doesn't really fit well, first of all. This movie is not so much about the decline of the city of Minneapolis due to the the death of St. Floyd and the resulting mayhem. It's about the actions that took place that May 25th of '20, the initial portion of the rioting and destruction with an emphasis on the 3rd Precinct police station, the railroading of Derek Chauvin in his trial, and interviews with many people involved, including Mr. Chauvin himself (only audio, from prison).
I would apportion the duration of discussion in the movie as such:
20 minutes: The arrest and attempted booking of George Floyd, with bodycam and other footage. This footage was tedious just watching, much worse for the cops trying to put this dumb, drugged-up reprobate into the cop car. He wouldn’t let them put him in the back, and he is a big guy. It was that, or I guess, as Steve Sailer says, you don’t arrest Black! people if they don’t want to be arrested, and too bad about the counterfeit twenties being passed around… and the woman threatened by Floyd with a gun to her pregnant belly.
The cops called the EMS early on, but the firemen went to the wrong location (quite likely due to incompetent AA dispatchers that can’t communicate well) and the ambulance took forever.
20 minutes: The first few days of destruction - protesting, looting, and burning. This included a pretty long segment about the abandonment then of the 3rd precinct (police station). I gotta say, though that evacuation under pressure from a violent mob must have been stressful, I really didn't appreciate seeing the police officials involved breaking into tears in the interviews. That'd be the women for the most part. Come on. I'm sorry, but I can think of things to cry about later, but that wasn't it. Perhaps these women shouldn't be involved next time. Its' one thing for the Mayor of Minneapolis Jake Frey to make big fake sobs at St. Floyd's funeral - he's a politician - but those big men doing that fake tear-wiping thing... please stop.
10 minutes: The movie focused on the Lyin' Press infotainment that stirred up the mob, politicians such as that evil Mayor Frey and Bai Dien himself, and then the Black! Reverend grifters and that crowd.
5 minutes: The question of exactly how George Floyd died is important, and the first autopsy that showed he didn't die by
20-25 minutes: Derek Chauvin's trial was a big part of the movie. I'll write about a few aspects of this in another post.
15- 20 minutes: There were interviews with cops involved with the trial and the Moms of both Derek Chauvin and Alex Keung, one of the other 3 cops present - he was sentenced to 3 years behind bars, I believe. Then, there were short phone interviews with both Mr. Chauvin and Mr. Keung from prison.
As I noted in the beginning, the whole event of this convenient excuse for BLM/antifa to run amok about the city of Minneapolis (first) was not the story here. The movie was mostly centered on the happening on the street that one day, and the things that the Minneapolis cops, especially the one guy, experienced in the aftermath. It is a movie made from the viewpoint of the cops.
That doesn't mean it's not worth watching for anyone else. The 01:42 was not a waste of my time, even though I'd known a lot of it. I'd not followed the court case though, so that part was somewhat new to me.
One would like to think that those who have pushed the black awokening business to near the brink since the Summer of '20 would have something to gain by watching this movie. I know better. They don't want to learn something, for lots of them, something that they already know. They are not interested in the truth, just power. They gained a lot of power by taking advantage of the death of that stupid worthless reprobate George Floyd. Lots of Americans are complicit in giving them this power by acquiescing to the following years of bullshit.
Here's the movie:

Spies Like Us, starring Manuel Rocha
Posted On: Wednesday - December 6th 2023 7:50PM MST
In Topics: Commies Immigration Stupidity US Feral Government
I don't know if anyone cares anymore, people under 40 knowing pretty much nothing of the Cold War, or any history not on twitter, but the infiltration of Communists into the US Feral Gov't was a Big Thing. I'd heard of the House Un-American Affairs Committee (HUAC) of the House of Reps from its heyday in the 1950's. (This resulted bitching Hollywood stars who were on blacklists, because ... they were Communists.) I'd heard of the Venona Transcripts, important evidence of espionage in telegraph form, a small percentage of which was released in the early '90s.
It wasn't until I read M. Stanton Evans' Blacklisted by History a year and a half ago that I got a bigger picture. Much of the espionage and Communist influence was happening within the US State Department, a natural thing to have done if you want to have changed the policy of the most powerful nation in the world.
Well, it STILL IS! It's not one of their normal reporting subjects, but since the guy, one Manuel Rocha, was an immigrant, VDare's A.W. Morgan posted yesterday: Immigrant Former U.S. Ambassador Spied For Cuba Since 1981. That's 42 years of a naturalized citizen working against his adoptive nation!. Surely he was vetted ...
Spy Manuel Rocha started in the State Dept. He ended as head of the military Southern Command, one of 11 unified Combatant Commands (COCOMs) in the Department of Defense. He headed up the portions of the military operating in Central and South America and the islands of the Caribbean. No conflict of interest there, I assure you.... A.W. Morgan included a long biography within the US Gov't that anyone "serving" his country may consider a distinguished career. That's not the case, though. It's been learned finally that this was a career that only Mr. Rocha's Mother, the old Commies Senator McCarthy was after, and Fidel Castro would have been proud of.
Again, doing the jobs that (most) Americans just won't do ...
PS: Rocha stared his career just a year or two after Castro's Cast-outs, the Mareil boatlift. One may wonder if he was one of those 125,000 mostly criminal Cubans who came to Florida to help America, or something. OTOH, most of them would have hated Castro.
PPS: Peak Stupidity has posted info on Chinese spies, here, here, and here, also using information reported on VDare. From my personal knowledge and other reading, they don't seem to concentrate on the State Dept. It'd be more like industrial spying from both private industry and university and National high-tech labs and such.
* Ha, history.com says here that this was going on "... during the anticommunist hysteria of the 1950s." Oh, Communism was real enough, Ministry-of-Truth Channel.com!

ThreeCranes on a not-so-glorious future
Posted On: Wednesday - December 6th 2023 1:51PM MST
In Topics: Commies Globalists The Future Bible/Religion
Unz Review commenter ThreeCranes, a technical guy, as I recall, wrote a long gloomy comment about Wokeness and the future that was pretty interesting to me and worth sharing.
Here it is in its entirety:
*******************************************
The current establishment throws stones at “the Far Right” secure in the knowledge that their police and military will protect them from reprisal. They truly ARE privileged in that they exist in a feedback free world.
But one day, the soldier or policeman wakes up, sees clearly and decides not to open fire upon others like himself who are not privileged with immunity and instead turns around and confronts those behind him who had been goosing him on.
The entire propaganda effort of all the establishment news sources is dedicated to putting off that momentous turnabout. Will they succeed? Can reality be denied forever? Can the grain of the Universe be perpetually plowed against?
Taoism tells us, “No.” But is Taoism correct?
The Communists thought, “Yes. If we control all sources of information available in a society, we can dictate the thoughts in the HiveMind so thoroughly that none can wander off the plantation.”
This is the reason Wokeness must be constantly upheld, the battle joined against the unwoke every moment of every day, the incessant pressure inside the minds of the Woke that drives them half nuts to the point that they need to medicate themselves with anti-depressants washed down with a twenty eight dollar bottle of red.
Their need for conformity is so great that they will gladly kill us just to relieve the tension throbbing in their brains that is caused by their religious yearning for Absolute Peace and Silence for God’s sake “What is wrong with you people?” as they listen to NPR telling them that if you get the shot you will not, repeat NOT, catch Covid.
And then the whole stinkin’ lot of them, the Royal Families, the Biden Crime Family etc. come down with the disease so there’s no one left to blame but they push the shot anyway as though no one could grasp, understand that the damn thing was a hoax and useless and, amazingly enough, the same gullible Fools lined up for yet another booster even after the curtain had been pulled aside.
What is wrong with the people who ask “What is wrong with these people?” is that they are asking the wrong people about the wrong people. They side with their jailer. They are Kapos who act as though their privileges were dependent upon the degree to which they keep their charges, the irredeemable basket of Deplorables, in line.
But the day will come when a liberating army appears on the horizon and the Officers and camp guards will flee, the Kapos will be left to take the blame and they will be strung up by their heels in the public square and for just one moment the Sun will stand still in the sky at high noon and the world will enjoy a moment’s respite from the free for all catch as catch can that is our daily run of affairs and all will take one deep breath.
Well, one can dream.
I believe our current system is the perpetuation of the prison camp system which came into widespread usage before, during and after WW2. Virtually all combatants took part in this phenomenon, became adept at it and carried it forward into what we live in today, the present era.
We live in a work camp, where labor is herded around by the needs of the Machine as it is administered by lab-coated technicians, their efficiency now augmented with computerization of practically everything, supplemented by vast data collection capabilities which can see into every nook and cranny of an individual’s life. “Individual” is the wrong word here since there are none. The system relentlessly hammers down the oddball nail that sticks up.
There are still pockets of freedom where one can live free from the prying eye of the all powerful great Eye in the Sky, but they must be sought out. Most inmates have no interest in doing so, voluntarily wearing their prisoner ID bracelet i.e. carrying their cell phones, with them at all times, voluntarily beaming information up to their Father God, please forgive us for we have sinned, just our mere existence is sin, we were born into it through no fault of our own yet we are still responsible for it and not You, oh Great One who has made us in your image but not quite because thou art perfect and we stand in need of Your benevolent redemption so watch over us and the group of Shylocks who invented this steaming bucket of crap laugh as they defraud these poor lost souls, deprive them of their dignity and feed them media swill and insect slops and whip the poor buggers to death as in Dostoevsky’s novel the poor horse till it drops to its knees and the enraged Master whips it all the harder to get it to stand back up in the traces.
*******************************************
The last paragraph, starting at "up to their Father God..." is not something that I particularly agree with. It may have a different meaning, depending on whether the writer meant to put a comma, where I have one [in bold] here:
"... and we stand in need of Your benevolent redemption so watch over us [,] and the group of Shylocks who invented this steaming bucket of crap laugh as they defraud these poor lost souls, deprive them of their dignity and feed them media swill and insect slops and whip the poor buggers to death...I like the part about Communism, of course. As for this last part, I don't see our getting out of this mess easily without some strong beliefs in forces greater than ours.

Nimarata, the Koch brother, the AFP, the Donald, and some dude on my lawn

VDare's Washington Watcher II put together an article connecting 4 of those 5 entities. The last one is from me. WWII explains that Kochtopus Endorsement Of Haley Shows Its True Open Borders Colors—And Hers. We explained the Nimarata moniker before, and the regular Peak Stupidity should know that we are not at all fans of this Globalist traitor to South Carolina and wannabe traitor to America.
VDare cares nearly only, and above all, about the immigration invasion, and this lady is all for it. (Yeah, she decried the importation of Moslems on account of the current excitement level of people her ilk have imported. She doesn't mind inviting in all the rest of the world and even those types again when the heat is off.)
One of the pro-open-borders Koch brothers has died a while back. ("Koch" rhymes with coke, the soft drink or the drug.) We can't say Koch Brothers now, and since I don't know the one guy left's name - don't wanna know - we can, per the article, at least be aware of his organization. That would be the AFP (Americans For Prosperity - a dumb name if I ever heard one - hey, Koch, who the hell ISN'T for prosperity?)
The AFP has never made an endorsement for a Presidential candidate before, they say, but, because, per this announcement of theirs a week back, "Donald Trump and Joe Biden will only further perpetuate the country’s downward spiral in politics.", they endorse Nimarata Randhawa Halley of Dillon,
Anyway, the same day that this article came out I saw someone on the walkway headed away from the house. It turned out he'd hung a flyer on our doorknob that advised us to vote for Nimarata. By the time I saw it, I had already walked out to see what the young guy wanted. There was no point in being rude, so I just asked him if he wanted the flyer back. This guy's golf-style shirt had the letters AFP. Whaddya' know, I'd just read the VDare article that day. These people are fast!
The young man admitted that he knew not much about Mrs. Haley, but this AFP organization had just put a lot of money into her campaign, so that's good, right? Well, I had to fill him in, as he told me straight up that he didn't know who he would vote for, and, this is just a job, because the campaign has all that money now. I explained things. After giving the guy a bottle of water and offering him a banana (he's paid by the hour), I went through just a little bit of politics with him. I explained what was completely wrong with Nimarata Haley, and gave a him short run-down on the pros of Ron DeSantis and the pros and cons of Donald Trump.
From Washington Watcher II's article again, I will demonstrate one of the cons of the latter guy to the Peak Stupidity readers. This is his reply to the news about the AFP and Haley.
Hey, it starts out good. Nah, I don't like "DeSanctimoneous", not because it's any kind of insult, but more like because it's NOT. It's just lame, because it means nothing, as that's not a DeSantis trait at all. Stick with the simple stuff like "Birdbrain". I like that one, as it fits, and not enough people use "birdbrain" anymore.**
Yes, "Americans for China [sic] Prosperity" and Making America, not the outside, World Great Again!", I like that. Hit 'em hard with the truth. After "birdbrain", it goes wrong. She said a lot of shit, and your dumb ass appointed this NeoCon Globalist as head of the UN, remember? Don't take it personally. "She better start running FAST!" It's not a horse race, man. Bragging about your "standings" is not helpful. Brag about not starting wars. Brag about slowing immigration way down and being ready to shut it down and start deporting. FOCUS, Trump, FOCUS!
I wish I had more time to talk to the young guy passing out flyers who didn't know much about politics, but he had a 1" stack of them still to hand out. I gave him mine back to save the planet.

** "Jackass" too. Not enough people use "jackass". I hope that will come back in vogue some time soon.

Yes, these inflation posts (and titles) are getting pretty cheesy.
One last inflation by deflation observation before we get off this kick for a while. Geeze, Louise, have you looked at the prices of cheese? Yeah, well, this name brand cheese from the fancier grocery store is what I'd been getting semi-regularly a while back. Besides the many delicious varieties, there were variations in what you get in a package.
My 12 y/o noted that the number of slices varied, but I explained we'd best compare them by weight. "Those 12 slices here might still be less cheese than the 10 slices there." He got it. The packages were either 8 oz (1/2 lb) or 1 lb. The lb. packages were usually a slightly better deal, and sales would often be only on certain types of cheese. Anyway, beside prices having gone up 25%, I'd guess, selection was easy, cheesy.
Not anymore, it isn't. You may have to perform gay gestures with your fingers or mash ctrl+ on a real computer to zoom in, but you'll see that now the package weights vary... always lower, of course. There is an 8 oz package, a 7 oz package and a 6 oz package. Note that the number of slices isn't linear with weight, just as it wasn't before.
OK, how are they going to do this? Does a computer program work out the best way to fool people or at least get them on-board. I could see a pretty sophisticated program, written by John Derbyshire with his higher math background, being used. With the input of massive amounts of sales data for the various sizes, sharpnesses of the cheddars, elasticity of the Swiss*, different store chains where people are known to be dumber or smarter, 1st derivatives - changes in sales per rate of decrease in mass, 2nd derivatives... it might take 25,000 lines of optimization code written by the best geeks Bombay has to offer.
Great work, marketing gurus, but now shopping for cheese is NOT easy. Cheeze whiz, I hope, still comes in similar weight cans as it did in my day, after subtracting propellant:
* Economists say that demand for Swiss cheese is inelastic, but I say that theory is full of holes.

OK, so don't nobody wanna talk about 2 by 2's and Moments of Inertia. Fine! (I don't blame ya'.) Though I have one more inflation by deflation post coming - nothing to do with lumber and there will be no math - now for something completely different.
The following 7-odd minute video is part (it can't be all, I'm sure) of an interview of Racial Realist Jared Taylor some members of the Japanese press. Mr. Taylor is founder of "AmRen" or the American Renaissance organization. It is strongly and unabashedly pro White people. Mr. Taylor is a tough bird, I gotta say, not just to say certain obvious things publicly - when they let him, but to always stay so calm under pressure.
In the comment thread of the Unz Review link above, I found a tweet with this pretty cool video. The way I am with searches - I try the obvious first - doesn't freaking work - I feel lucky to have gotten this one on bitchute.
As soon as you get started, you may be shocked to see that everyone is speaking Japanese. Usually, everyone around the world caters to English speakers, but Jared Taylor speaks fluent Japanese. I know he lived in Japan for quite a few years (don't know at what ages), but this is still impressive. And, yes, the two Japanese women are pretty cute - does that explain Jared Taylor's having lived in Japan for quite a few years?
I can also say that is really nice to see these three journalists hear Jared Taylor out. OTOH, boy do they come into this with a plethora of ignorance*, well, it must be blissful.
* @ 01:20: "But man's equality is written under the Declaration of Independence." Dude, please! First of all, "under" it? I know Olde English is not your first language, but that says "John Hancock' under there. Secondly, the Declaration was a statement - it's not the law. Finally, I guess plenty of Americans don't understand that Jefferson's point was about equal treatment under the law and endowment of natural rights either so what can we expect?
