The experiments are intriguing. I'm skeptical of the interpretation.

Good morning

"The shape of a society, more than anything else, is determined by the average intelligence of the population. So, the dumbing down of Sweden means that its infrastructure, both physical and intellectual, cannot be maintained.

"China doesn’t need to invade any other countries in order to rule the world. It will do so by simple virtue of remaining the same mostly-homogeneous Han society that it has been for the last 6,000 years. Clown World’s collapse became inevitable after China refused to accept the foreign elite that planned to leave the USA in 2015; now all China has to do to ensure its global dominance is play a long game watching the West descend into relative retardery and barbarism.

"The free movement of peoples is one of the most destructive philosophies ever conceived. In time, it may prove to be as terrible as communism, or perhaps even feminism."

"It is expected that Iran's economic position and geopolitical influence will grow even greater soon, especially in light of the discovery of a massive lithium field containing 8.5 million tons of the precious mineral, making it the second-largest in the world after Chile. It is located in the Hamedan province in western Iran.

"Thus, this discovery is not only significant because it holds 10% of the world's "white gold" reserves, currently estimated at around 89 million tons, but also because it has the potential to buff the Iranian economy and seemingly nullify the effectiveness of the imposed sanctions. It is considered a "winning trump card" for the Islamic Republic.

"According to the Israeli expert, this discovery could have a significant impact on global energy and mining markets, as well as the global battery and electric vehicle industries. It is expected that all of this will lead to long-term changes in the global economy and politics, shifting the balance of power once again to the Middle East."

"Blind Item #7

"It was the girlfriend of the messaging app who set him up. Apparently, works for a foreign government as a honey trap. That government supposedly can now read the messages that were unreadable and can find the location of any user at any time."

When non-Western countries place curbs on their own media or suppress dissent, the US is quick to condemn this as a breach of democracy. Even in situations of breaches of law and order, rioting, and violence, when curbs are temporarily placed on social media and the internet, the US is quick to denounce them.

The US does not seem to be mindful of the contradiction between the outright steps it has just announced against RT, which violate the principle of freedom of expression, and limited restrictions that other countries take based on what they need to do domestically to curb social unrest or violence, which the US routinely condemns.

India has experienced this and has protested this interference in its internal affairs.

The West largely controls the flow of information globally. It can create and control narratives at the international level. Many in the rest of the world have felt vulnerable to the power of the West to disseminate distorted narratives about them. As far back as the 1970s, the developing world tried through UNESCO to promote a new international information order, but failed. https://www.rt.com/india/604273-india-democracy-us-rt-ban/

It was inevitable, nobody will pay that just to park for the day....

NEW - Lindsey Graham on Hurricane Helene: "I've been going all over South Carolina, like most people I have not slept much, but look what's going on in Israel... We have to help our friends- to keep the war over there from coming here!"

"Nothing illustrates the contempt and outright hatred the government has for us than what is happening in North Carolina. FEMA has spent all its funds, all their tax money, on migrants, who, btw, are illegal economic migrants. And Kamala emerges from her shroud and offers people who have lost their houses, their towns, their businesses, their cars, their possessions, pets and family members $750. On what planet does her team not realize this is criminal behavior?"

"What defines addicts today is anhedonia. Where in the grips of their addiction they once chased ecstasy, the best they can hope for now is a torpid equilibrium. Their ultimate sickness unto death is boredom. It is in this sense that addiction is a potent American metaphor. We are living in a culture both decadent and dreary, drained even of the salutary purposes of pleasure." https://www.city-journal.org/article/on-the-moral-status-of-addicts

"The striking similarities among nearly identical petroglyphs discovered in Japan, Utah, and Azerbaijan prompt intriguing inquiries into the connections between ancient cultures. These carvings, located in Fugoppe Cave in Japan, Nine Mile Canyon in Utah, and Gobustan in Azerbaijan.
Feature representations of winged or flying human figures. Despite being separated by extensive geographical distances, their presence in disparate locations raises questions about potential cultural interactions or shared symbolism."

JUSTINIAN IN COUNCIL Photogravure from the Painting "by Jean Joseph Benjamin-Constant.

This famous painting was originally exhibited in the Paris Salon of 1888, and was presented in 1890 by G. Mannheimer to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Justinian, surnamed the Great, was the last Emperor of Constantinople, who in the sixth century, by his dominion over the whole of Italy, reunited in some measure the ancient Empire of the Caesars. The glory of his reign is the famous digest of Roman law, known to fame as the Justinian Code. The scene depicted in Benjamin-Constant's painting is a slave reading before Justinian and his Cabinet some portion of this celebrated code.

From the front-matter of the International Congress of Arts and Science (1904 : St. Louis).
