I'm wondering what happens to all the history books and documentaries displaying historical photos of Nazi era Germany? Are they illegal now? Will people get arrested for owning history books? Is it illegal to own photos of the propaganda of World War II Germany? There's a lot of WWII history books containing Nazi symbols are they all now illegal?

🇺🇸 🇨🇳 America's military highly dependent on China-controlled minerals

🔶️ The US Geological Survey keeps a list of minerals that are critical to the US national security, and economic, infrastructure, and energy needs. In 2020, the list grew to 50 minerals when it had been 35 back in 2018.

🔶️ Most of these minerals are sourced primarily from China. In addition to that, after being mined, these minerals require refining and processing along an international value chain. Even though China mined less than 20% of the world's total supply of lithium, it still controlled more than 60% of its refining and production capacity.

🔶️ Graphite is another key mineral used in the production of electric vehicle batteries. China currently controls 100% of the refining and production of spherical graphite used for battery production.

The “world’s most advanced military” took three months to manage a claimed capture of that while fighting a completely technologically outmatched foe who they outnumber 500k to ~10k.

The Failure of the Artificial Nation

An insightful observation by Andrei Martyanov from his 2018 book Losing Military Supremacy : the myopia of American strategic planning: “The Americans in their intercourse with strangers appear impatient of the smallest censure and insatiable of praise. The most slender eulogium is acceptable to them; the most exalted seldom contents them; they unceasingly harass you […]

When a capacitor discharges through a resistor, initially the large amount of charge pushes a large amount of current through the resistor. As the capacitor discharges, less and less charge remains. The current decreases further and further, so the change in current is in the opposite direction of the current.

The current points one way, and the change in current points the other way. The induction magnetic fields–strongest close to the capacitor–go one way, and the radiation magnetic fields–strongest further away–go in the other direction.

Something truly remarkable happens. On a spherical bubble around the exponentially decaying dipole the magnetic field goes to zero–exactly the point where the induction and radiation fields are equal and in opposite directions so they cancel out. The radius of the bubble is r = c tau where c is the speed of light and the time constant of the decay is tau = R C, the product of the capacitance and the resistance. Inside the bubble, energy is absorbed and converted to heat in the resistor. Only outside the bubble does energy start flowing away.

I dubbed this bubble a “causal surface,” since it separates the two causally distinct energy zones.

This GIF scaled to c tau = 1 shows the field lines around the dipole and the emergence of the causal surface bubble.

I describe how to calculate dipole field lines for arbitrary time dependence in my textbook: https://amzn.to/3vozl8C

Australia Abandons Free Speech

It’s fascinating how these states that literally go to war and invade other countries over “freedom” so rapidly abandon it in certain circumstances: Laws banning the Nazi salute and the display or sale of symbols associated with terror groups came into effect in Australia on Monday as the government responds to a rise in antisemitic […]

China Sanctions USA

It’s going to be interesting to see how the corpocracy changes its tune once it starts losing its access to the world’s largest market, as yesterday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced sanctions on five US defense companies: Q: The US recently announced new arms sales to Taiwan and sanctioned Chinese businesses and individuals under various pretexts.

"The author even dabbles in the socio-sexual hierarchy and the concept of game–and does so in an amusing way.

"Seriously, this has been the most enjoyable book I’ve read in years. Strongly recommended."

That’s disappointing. How long will it take for anyone who disagrees with the woke agenda to be dubbed a “Nazi?”

"An Iillustration of the complete frozen mammoth found in Siberia in 1799 by Ossip Schumachoff who was looking for ivory on the banks of the River Lena in Siberia. He was unable to retrieve any part of it until he found it thawed out some years later. In 1806, accompanied by the naturalist Mikhail Adams, he returned to the site with a crew. Much of the mammoth had been eaten away by bears and foxes. Nonetheless Adams still retrieved the skeleton, one fleshed foreleg, most of the skin and forty pounds of hair. He later bought the tusks. It was the most complete mammoth ever discovered. In St Petersburg Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius reassembled the bones. His biggest mistake was that he mounted the tusks on the wrong sides so that they curved outward instead of inward. Artwork by Dane Beard from Harpers Young People Illustrated Weekly, 1882."

The Coining of the Term: Midwit

Along with “Sigma Male” and “Gamma”, the term “midwit” appears to have become increasingly popular on the Internet, thanks chiefly to what is now known as “the Midwit Meme”.

The Bochurim Dug Too Deep

It appears another set of pedo tunnels was discovered, this one under an Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn. The weaponized autists of 4chan are all over this, as the police video has already revealed what appear to be child-sized blood-stained mattresses and what is definitely an infant’s highchair. The empty building to which the tunnel led […]
