"Or, perhaps I’m just being naïve and that inequality and those who have wealth will always have a distinct advantage over those without. Just do me a favour, don’t boast about how many books you’ve sold when you’re spending a small fortune for ads in the process…"

Ouch!

"The Serbian police just used a LRAD sonic cannon against the student protesters in Belgrade while they were holding their 15 minutes of silence. LRAD is an acoustic weapon that fires a targeted "beam" of sound at very high volume, up to 160 dB."

“The West has a Sunk Cost problem: they’ve invested everything not only into the Ukraine war itself, but now into the image of their own strength and ability to manifest peace at will. In other words, they told the world Russia was weak, and that they had the global clout to bring Putin to the table anytime they saw fit.

Instead, the rampaging bear has not slowed, and Western puppet leaders are panickedly fighting the narrative current, pushing inertia for its own sake to signal faux-strength and leadership on global issues. They continue pretending that negotiations are drawing ever-nearer in a comic rendition of Zeno’s Paradox, all the while Russia cajoles them with the ol’ snickering wink as it pushes inexorably forward.”

"People of Serbia are normally wary of street protests, remembering the bitter aftertaste of their October 2000 “democratic revolution” against then-President Slobodan Milosevic. Many of the people involved believed they were taking part in a spontaneous revolt against Milosevic’s purported “betrayal” of Kosovo—only to discover they had been played by the National Endowment for Democracy and its clever blueprint of subversion that would become known as the “color revolution.”

"Those protests too were led by “students”—or rather, what started as a student group before getting infiltrated by NED. Known as Otpor (Resistance), they used a black fist as their symbol and also had clever marketing and branding, all funded by the American taxpayer.

Some of the people behind the October 2000 coup later openly boasted about getting “suitcases of cash” via the U.S. embassy and various NED cutouts, and a small number went on to become professional revolution-mongers in places like Georgia, Ukraine, and North Africa."

Disgusting.

"For the last 60 years or so, science has been running an experiment on itself. The experimental design wasn’t great; there was no randomization and no control group. Nobody was in charge, exactly, and nobody was really taking consistent measurements. And yet it was the most massive experiment ever run, and it included every scientist on Earth.

"Most of those folks didn’t even realize they were in an experiment. Many of them, including me, weren’t born when the experiment started. If we had noticed what was going on, maybe we would have demanded a basic level of scientific rigor. Maybe nobody objected because the hypothesis seemed so obviously true: science will be better off if we have someone check every paper and reject the ones that don’t pass muster. They called it “peer review.”

You and Him Fight Won’t Fly

But Macron and Starmer are probably going to get a lot of young French and British soldiers killed trying to draw the US military into the war in Ukraine: First, you don’t get to send in “peacekeepers” when you are one of the belligerent parties, which both France and Great Britain absolutely are. Second, it’s […]
