Error or Fraud - A New Bombshell in the Data or Business As Usual

Nobody multiplies an entire data set by -1 on accident; it is done deliberately to reverse the data as it exists and never for any other purpose.

This discovery is hard mathematical evidence of fraud.  This report is allegedly "extensively reviewed" before publication and therefore said fraud extends to the reviewers in that either (1) they didn't actually review it in which case that's fraud in that they claimed to do something they did not or (2) they did review it and intentionally passed on it understanding what it was in which case they're active participants in the original fraud.

Now I am presuming the data shows what this video claims -- that is, it really is multiplied by -1 across the entire data set.

But assuming that claim is true then the entire report is knowingly and intentionally false and since the point of these reports is to induce governments to spend money in some places and not others it is organized racketeering via said fraud and every single person involved must go to prison immediately and forever along with the IPCC as an organization being entirely and without possibility of reconstruction destroyed

So Russia is:  1) out of ammo; 2) using 1950's tanks; 3) being controlled by a leader who died of cancer a year ago; 4) out of money and unable to sell oil; and 5) going to invade Western Europe.

Makes sense.

 

 

Odessa

 

 I meant to put a map of Odessa, Ukraine with a red pin marking the spot, here, but google won't allow it. It's the ten year anniversary of the murders of dozens of eastern separatists in a trade union building where they had gone to hide from a mob of Nationalists brought in for the day.

On the occasion of cuttting ties with an ambiguously named ISP; This is a celebration!

Finally, after years, decades perhaps, another provider was discovered to take on the company with the most hated business model in America. It's called competition, and the service is provided at half the fee of the outfit that hires Somali pirates to take its service questions. Poor bastards. I don't blame them. The pirates that is.

Of course, pirates being pirates, separation was not achieved without a little bloodshed. I'd offered to negotiate my leaving. That, of course was a fool's errand. Talk to a bot once after midnight that proclaims it needs a human being representative for decision making but then, confronted with certain facts, claims that a human being is not qualified for decision making. Which adds to the confusion and leads to the benign question, "who the fuck is making decisions?!"

You hear that a lot nowadays, for all types of functions. But, this is America, after all. Could be the other side of the globe, if you're not  paying attention, such as expressed in a famous quote by a former Deputy of Defense Rumsfield citing his unknown knowns or, more succinctly, "All your resources are belong to us", after considering what they say compared to what they do.
Rather than petitioning for a moral high ground, allow me to point out the reason for hope from the basis of one of us who has "seen it all" and adjusted reasoning and reaction just to help it get better.
No, it isn't pretty. But it is characteristically human. Which means it will get worse before it gets better.
Once hardship presides, it's a few short steps to starting over. Consequences for playing rough are set aside, one might say. What other choice is there? The one you make. The Known  is expressed by observable actions, be they supported by Force, or its waning strength. 
How is it then the meek shall inherit the earth? Because they're still here, and they're mad as Hell. Come and find out.

'O no, you first, I'm right behind you - 

And then BAM! a weight like a massive stone descending on its sunken chest, disrupting the FA Cup semi on the biggest screen available in this awkward sanctity, it's gauche decor with some really shoddy lighting ensconced in a musty old basement, cobwebs hung heavy in every corner with dust.

It's the space preserved for the winner's history. A lonely place, one adorned with all the self perpetuated trophies and thoughtless certificates of award to and from it's own image given away like toothpicks at one of those tawdry, low-buck functions, virtues described in a fiction by Louis L'amour, ineffectual and moot. All in all, and one after another, they demarcate the unintended consequences born of a self congratulatory, good old boy board of directors.

A republic, like any other that stood before it, it hasn't spoken to its insufferable spouse for days on end.

As it falls, in slow motion impossibly ridiculous for its sheer, dead weight and fathomless hubris, an arrested scream remains unresolved, stifled in its throat. But for the epiphany of knowing it's too late - there it hangs suspended for what seems an eon, then head first into its plate of beans and sausage, dead dead dead.

Open the Ball

 

In case you hadn't noticed, the chief of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has claimed the United States, Britain and Ukraine are behind the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in Moscow.

This statement is mirrored by Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev a Russian politician, security officer and former intelligence officer who has served as the secretary of the Security Council of Russia since 2008.

And when they say something, it means they have huge reasons to do so, unlike the case with Western spokespersons who simply lie to your face.

 

This is a consequence for our unwillingness to confront our elected (and unelected) leadership as they have placed our countries and the world in such desperate circumstances.

 

The denials have already begun. In fact, they are already a feature.

spring snow

 

"This is enjoyable for a lot of folks. It's been such a mild winter otherwise. They're forecasting eight to ten inches." 

 

"Really? It's funny; I was just telling a friend earlier of a time I was in South West Texas and watching the scorpions come out to hunt beneath my cot after dark. I was just a little boy.

 

"I shouldn't be surprised, I am a Midwesterner, after all."

 

We thanked each other and I walked out of the market to my car, careful to avoid the snowplow's path.

We'll have an incredible mess to clean up as it is. I mean, just who do they think they are? It's not the first time, nor will it be the last. Megalomaniacs have aspired to ridiculous heights throughout history. They rise on the backs of adoringly hypnotized masses (pardon me; the acceptable term is Mass Psychosis. Wouldn't want to ruffle anyone's murmurations). Not to mix metaphors, but soon after things are going swimmingly, aside a few unpleasantries, ranks of polished jackboots lined up, budgets busted and the coffers emptied, plan B once again broken out to start a war to hide that fact and profit besides, what could go wrong? It's beginning to become a cliche after a Millennia or two.

Gah! it must be dizzying to feel all that hubris and control though, aye, until that fatal step when they step on the banana peel of fairness and logic and whoopsie!

 Not to kick a Malthusian while  he's down, although I would tie his shoelaces together as he addresses the WEF from behind his lectern just for a laugh, what if Bill Gates hadn't gotten guidance from Dad's founding of Planned Parenthood and a hand up from his mother's vast, lucrative corporate connections and deigned not to steal that code that still spies on my Windows 7?

We could all have a chance to play a rousing game of  Monopoly™! Stripping our friends blind of all their assets and leaving them in a delicious wake of self-delusion and regret. What  are zero-sum games for, after all? I should design its successor; a board game called Total Dependence On The State. I'd include bonus points for successful cheating. I've made some head way into research already.

Speaking of musical chairs, be it noted that every Representative Republic throughout history has failed. Why? We keep voting in our candidates that eventually succumb to overriding corruption. Despite what they say about Biden's schedule or Trump's paperwork (the common factor being Golf) it's a full time job. Please forgive me for mentioning the one you love to hate, btw. Just keep me out of it. I was twice a delegate for Ron Paul. We came this close to brokering the convention in 2012. But in the eleventh  hour, baby, we got Schlonged. Yeah, I know, that's what they all say ... is it our Human Nature? One thing is for sure; History does rhyme.

So why board that Karmic Circle Jerk of division for another go-round? If one tears the veil of public relations from their eyes and observes mindfully, we stand in full witness of another of Empire's Great Pratfalls. I say that with confidence since I've watched the markets and history for decades now out of a strong sense of familial responsibility and my own self interest. Yes, I am selfish prick. One might say crude and vulgar, also, but one would hardly notice. Still, keep your cell phone ready.  I'm not sure you'll be able to post the snapshots on Meta, though.

We could bandy accusations and creative adjectives of catch phrases for Evil about all day long. One of the most creative writers I've had the good fortune to meet, Karin Bugge, spent her own time teaching me not to over do it. 

... oh, Karin, how I miss you. Which reminds me; nobody comments to give me any stick or exchange jibes any more. We had a crew that loved each other and the camaraderie ... have I become too unpleasant? Erm, no need to hurry with your reply.

I was offered a great kindness similar to these the other day. Whatever my declining state of mind, assuming they were witticisms, I'd taken to spouting off the cuff, disparaging remarks, assuming some relevance in my cynicism. A fellow where I was visiting took some umbrage at my insistence. Even I'd noticed a pattern, but, feeling helpless, I was stuck in a rut. 

He said I was far from clever and exceedingly annoying. I'm paraphrasing what is essentially a smack-down. The kind of stuff reserved for your closest confidante or someone you'd step outside with to scuff your elbows or defend your honor for. I shut my pie-hole and stopped right there. But I didn't get angry. It was as if a bell went off and awakened me from a spell. So I answered him. 

 

"It's like listening to a looped tape of negative, negative, negative, isn't it?" 

Not the type of answer he was expecting. This fella travels in certain circles that ... I wouldn't mention in mixed company. But the reaction was significant.  He went on to assist me in my epiphany, asking me what I had accomplished to help others as a positive gesture. And surprisingly, I was able to respond with a few! Odder still that a number involved taking on insurmountable authority we might find daunting, and beating them at their own game. I also recognized those causes sprang from a tendency to help people who suffered from abuse but couldn't defend themselves.

It's quite a bit different from posting diatribes in comment sections. I enjoy a good diatribe, but I don't seek allies on comment boards. A bit of a snob in that regard, sorry.

So appreciative was I that I interjected something supportive later that day. Which caused my benefactor to snap and call me some dirty names. I met his challenge with a lack of concern in my eye. Being a little jaded doesn't always hurt. It's a sign of the times. That is, I didn't meet his challenges in typical fashion. As a result, nothing happened.
 

The gentleman had been under certain stresses recently, I'd learned. No, I can't relay them.  He admitted to a remarkably difficult upbringing earlier. A common theme we shared to a degree, though I wasn't contesting his tragedy with mine. People do that, you know. It's like they don't listen and are just waiting for their turn to talk about themselves. And I'd deduced he was a manic-depressive besides.
 

It could have been job qualification for all I knew. I do roll in some interesting circles, not immune to misunderstanding. Fewer than I used to. It's become more a personal choice, rather than letting my whim left to chance, self-destruction or domination.

I never said relationships weren't easy. Dysfunction can be handed down through generations, as well as by public decree, which is the most wicked form of leadership. It's best avoided. Yet its reach is insatiable. 
 

Despite defining some goals, I realize total isolation from involvement is not a healthy choice, either. Nor is it compassionate.

To merely observe is not enough. Conversely, to deny a common threat, out of fear or dispassionate safety has its own limits. Some villains are real and will not go away.

 

I used to enjoy watching those black and white science fiction movies, their concepts cutting edge and loaded with coincidence of themes of Science. The threats were metaphorical, the monsters scarier, the thrills more titillating and essentially, when the credits rolled, totally harmless. even fiction may have its motivation to persuade however. It reminds me of how adroit our media's responses have become, however beguiling. The onus has been placed squarely on Agenda.

Sure, you could walk out of the theater into the light of day and a seemingly benign lifestyle.
But only because, in that nostalgic reality, nobody ever got hurt.

 

 

Happy New Year

 

                       New Year's Day--

              with each memory's passing 

                       we are made anew 

 

 

 

Here's to Sunshine, Johnny!

 home alone christmas--

unwrapping that pack

manger in a cardboard box

snow falls

And so it begins: WWIII

 

 Germany is sending troops on a permanent deployment to a foreign nation for the first time since World War II. Germany had agreed to deploy troops to Lithuania back in June but did not set an official date for deployment at that time. Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas met with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Monday to discuss a multi-year “Roadmap Action Plan.”

 

"Multi-year" he says ... ha ha ha ha!

“The eastern flank has now moved to the east, and it’s the duty of Germany to protect it,” Pistorius said Monday during a joint press conference. Around 4,800 troops will be permanently positioned in Lithuania, arriving in increments from 2024 until 2027. Pistorius called the move historic and likened it to the troops stationed in West Germany during the Cold War to protect the nation from Soviet aggression. Lithuania borders both Russia and Belarus. 

For years, Putin has said that Russia would not respond well if cornered by NATO. He attempted to broker numerous deals to prevent “NATO aggression” and avoid a large-scale conflict. But NATO is not an organization of peace.

“We will ensure reliable deterrence and we will be ready to [defend] NATO. We are sending a clear signal with this step to those who present a threat to peace and security in Europe,” Pistorius commented.

 

Who? ... the USA, England and Ukraine?

 

 He also noted that taxes must be raised to support this new NATO deterrent plan but did not elaborate on how they will extort their own citizens to pay for the war that they so desperately want.

 

 No updates on an American civil war just yet. Wait for it. That will depend on the military and what side they eventually pick.
