"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."

"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.”

Article III of the Constitution does not lay out any enforcement mechanism for the Judiciary to restrain the executive. It is Article II where the Executive must "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" and swear an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" - not the Judiciary
In The Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton describes the judiciary as the "least dangerous" branch, lacking the "sword" of the executive or the "purse" of the legislature (Federalist No. 78). He argues it depends on the executive to enforce its judgments, suggesting a relationship of persuasion rather than command. This aligns with the English common law tradition, where courts advised the Crown but lacked coercive power over it. The Constitution’s framers, wary of centralized authority after the Revolution, intended a similar dynamic: the judiciary could warn the executive of unconstitutional acts, but ultimate accountability rested with the executive’s oath and the people’s elected representatives as outlined in the Constitution explicitly

"Credentialism, like so much rot, has precedent in academia. Consider peer review. Peer review ostensibly improves the credibility of scientific works and helps to prevent fraud while keeping the standards of published research in different fields appropriately high. But it does no such thing; it amounts to little more than an expensive attempt to make the status and opinions of academics sacrosanct."

⚠️ BEWARE Are your investments really yours?
When you make investments with an investment firm, your shares or positions are typically held in one of the following ways:
• Street Name: This is the most common arrangement, where the investment firm holds your shares or positions in its own name, often referred to as "nominee" or "street name." This means that the investment firm's name appears on the company's shareholder register, rather than your own name.
• Omnibus Account: An omnibus account is a type of account that holds shares on behalf of multiple clients. The investment firm holds the shares in its own name, but the account is designated as an omnibus account to indicate that the shares are held for the benefit of multiple clients.
• Segregated Account: A segregated account is a type of account where the investment firm holds your shares separately from its own assets. This arrangement provides an additional layer of protection for your shares, as they are not commingled with the firm's own assets.
• Custodial Account: A custodial account is a type of account where the investment firm holds your shares on your behalf, but the account is held in your own name. This arrangement provides a high level of control and transparency over your shares.
⚠️ According to a survey by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020:
• 92% of investors held their shares in street name.
• 6% of investors held their shares in an omnibus account.
• 1% of investors held their shares in a segregated account.
• 1% of investors held their shares in a custodial account.
⚠️ This reveals that 98% of investors holding investments with investment firms are VERY exposed. This is exactly what David Webb refers to in his book The Great Taking. Webb explains that in the event of a financial institution's insolvency, ennoscriptment holders (ordinary investors) would not be protected, while secured creditors would be prioritized.
