A job offer from the 1860s.

If we adjust the $25 wage per week for inflation, it comes out to approximately $850 per week or $3,400 a month or $40,800 a year, assuming you didn’t take any days off.

The Pony Express was successful in reducing the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to just 10 days.

Although it provided a vital service, the Pony Express was a financial disaster and went bankrupt in just 18 months (April 3, 1860 to October 26, 1861) due to the completion of the transcontinental telegraph on October 24, 1861.

Back in 1841, the news of President William Henry Harrison’s death took 110 days to reach Los Angeles. With the establishment of the transcontinental telegraph, communication between the east and west coast became nearly instantaneous.

🇸🇾 Reigniting the Syrian Civil War | Northwestern Aleppo Offensive

On November 27th, 2024, the Northwestern Aleppo Offensive commenced, also known as “Deterrence of Aggression” by the Syrian Opposition. This came at an opportune time when the Syrian government's allies have been bogged down and embroiled in foreign conflicts, leaving Assad relatively isolated. The Iranian-aligned Resistance Axis is also spread thin across the Middle East, and Russia is fully invested in Eastern Europe, along with wars throughout Africa. This is unlike 2015-2017 when Syria's allies were married to a Syria-first policy, completely devoted to preserving a hard-pressed government and containing the spread of ISIS. Now, Assad's strength will be fully tested against any combatant capitalizing on these circumstances.

Enter Turkey: A beast that sleeps with one eye open, yet it dreams of conquest. With the predatory behavior of a wolf, Turkey has honed their instinct to strike targets whenever they smell blood. Making incremental bite-sized territorial inroads while pursuing prey intermittently until the situation normalizes, then rinse and repeat. Turks have mastered the ability to switch targets. They avoid overly investing in a push if there's too much resistance, prompting them to dig in and bide their time until the next battlefield presents an opportunity. For the moment, Syria is ripe for the hunt. Just as Hamas watched and waited for Russia or China to make moves on the international stage, now Turkey takes advantage of a region distracted by wars between Israel and Iran. The U.S. is also disinterested in babysitting the Kurds, especially since global peer threats are marching on the warpath in a world where the Post-WWII order is thawing out. Ultimately, international boundaries are increasingly being trespassed upon.

The Israel-Palestine conflict is emotionally sensitive but remains pretty stable geopolitically in terms of far reaching consequences as long as US support for Israel is a certainty.

The Syrian conflict that we have now post-Aleppo is just a powder keg exploding and could have global consequences for actors such as Russia, Iran and Turkey, and even possibly the US depending on how it evolves.

After the State: The Coming of Neo-Medievalism and the Great Decentralization

Every time the subject of a possible US civil war or national divorce comes up I hear the same micron deep takes. America couldn’t break up because the division isn’t by state, its Urban Vs. Rural. Or that Urban vs. Rural isn’t the divide, even then people of different politics are mixed up together. Or that for every clear red or blue state there’s a purple state. None of which is in any way relevant to anything until you recognize the naïve mental model many of these people are working on...

These takes betray a belief that a second civil war would be some kind of conflict between coherent independent states who’ve started identifying with/against the idea of union such as happened in the 1860s… or that somehow there’d be a series of tidy Quebec style referendums resulting in a clean division such as exists in so many meme maps

The Students at Stanford - who write and edit at The Stanford Review - know that the faculty isn't just wrong, they are tyrannical in regards to their censor of Dr. Atlas.
In 2020, Dr. Scott Atlas was Special Coronavirus Adviser To Trump. He served in the White House - that Stanford chose to censor him WHILE he was serving in the White House. Stanford was incredibly disrespectful to President Trump and Dr. Atlas.
They then went on to work on censoring people like me and you, with their Stanford Internet Observatory. Trampling on free speech rights.
It is they, who deserve to be censored in some way.
Are they really a "fit" university to receive government contracts and grants. I think not.
From the article below:
"The Faculty Senate’s alarming unwillingness to acknowledge their error or engage in self-correction is telling. They would rather be complicit in the collapse of our University’s credibility than put their pride aside in pursuit of the truth."

Why Russia Quit on Syria

Andrei Martyanov’s citation of a Russian journalist helps explain why the Russians finally stopped protecting the Assad regime in Syria: I do not feel sorry for the Syrian authorities. I remember too well how, back in 2012, we, Russian journalists, were “squeezed” at border control, with all our luggage turned inside out, and our cameras and […]

"Tim Lim posted to his X account detailing the problems he’s had with IndieGoGo regarding payouts for the campaigns over the years with three screenshots detailing the problems he’s had with them. He said, “After 6 years, this might be our last time using @Indiegogo. They are late with our disbursement by 2 weeks: I asked for an update (stating the window THEY provided) & (after a delay) they gave me the schedule for BUTCH KILLIGAN 2. It’s not even the 1st time this has happened.”

Science's Lost Breakthroughs: Trailblazers of Transmutation and LENR

What if early 20th-century experiments hinted at scientific discoveries we still don’t fully understand?

This video revisits the groundbreaking yet often overlooked work of scientists like Clarence Skinner, J.J. Thomson, Norman Collie, Hubert Patterson, Irvine Masson, Fritz Paneth, Kurt Peters, and John Tandberg.

From hydrogen's strange interactions with metals to mysterious appearances of helium and neon in discharge experiments, these pioneers observed phenomena that defied conventional explanations of their time.

We explore how their meticulous experiments laid the foundation for modern fields like plasma physics, hydrogen storage, and Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR).

Could they have witnessed elemental transmutations or stumbled upon processes we are only now beginning to comprehend?

Discover how these early findings, dismissed or forgotten for decades, may hold the key to unraveling some of science's most enduring mysteries.

Whether you're interested in the history of physics, experimental science, or cutting-edge theories, this journey into forgotten experiments will leave you questioning how much we still have to learn.

"Thorium has one primary advantage, which is that it uniquely allows breeding with slow neutrons. Breeding is possible with fast neutrons in any fuel, but doing it with slow neutrons is kind of neat. Everything else you may have heard is suspect."

"In light of the above discussion, one key phenomenon that can be explained by conspiracy theory is that of controlled opposition. If elites in society wish for a change of any kind to take place, they are almost guaranteed to encounter opposition in the populace. To ensure that the change progresses unimpeded, this opposition must be controlled, corralled, disparaged, ridiculed, misrepresented, or otherwise neutralized. Often this comes in the form of opposition thought leaders who are elevated to prominence by the media (itself controlled by elites) who are secretly working in support of the agenda."

That one for Colombia raises an eyebrow. It looks to be a fairly linear decline, and then it suddenly drops like a rock. Tell me folks, what happened around the time that it started dropping like a rock?
