Bungled assessment is bred in the bone!
*SATURDAY, JULY 18, 2020Wittgenstein tackles the giants:* On Thursday morning, the New York Times reported a tulip craze. Michael Powell filed the report from somewhere near Oran. As we noted yesterday, he had spotted rather clear evidence of the widespread outbreak: POWELL (7/16/20): The linguists’ letter also accused the professor of engaging in racial dog whistles when he used the words “urban crime” and “urban violence” in other tweets. The loopy linguists wanted Professor Pinker stripped of academic honors. You see, Pinker had used the term "urban crime" in a tweet on some ... more »
RANK-AND-FILE RIGHT-WINGERS DESPISED JOHN LEWIS
A great loss for America: Representative John Lewis, a son of sharecroppers and an apostle of nonviolence who was bloodied at Selma and across the Jim Crow South in the historic struggle for racial equality, and who then carried a mantle of moral authority into Congress, died on Friday. He was 80. We have many political fights today, but some of us would like to believe that there's no dispute anymore about certain aspects of the past. *The Hill* reports: Americans from across the political spectrum ... honored Lewis....

Thai "Students" Protest Sponsored by the US Government
*July 18, 2020 *(Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Protesters today at Bangkok's Democracy Monument were promoted and led by US government-funded individuals and organizations. Among them is Anon Nampa of Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) and "independent" media platform, Prachatai. Organizations provided advice on how protesters should dress and tactics they could employ. Luckily very few attended the protests with violence limited to mobs manhandling the small group of police deployed who quickly retreated. For a "dictatorship," the protesters were given freedoms by the Thai government... more »
John Lewis
I was 12 years old in 1960. On a Friday night, I stayed up late to watch the Pierre Berton Show. His guest that night was John Howard Griffin, the author of *Black Like Me*. From my perch north of the border, I became interested in the American Civil Rights movement. I read Griffin's book. I read Martin Luther King's book, *Why We Can't Wait. *I read James Baldwin's book, *The Fire Next Time.* And, nine years later, I found myself, a student-teacher, in the public schools of North Carolina -- where kids were being bused from school to school in an effort to achieve some kind of ra... more »

Zola’s Message: “Kill The Hero”
Emily Zola exhorted the novelists to “kill the hero”—the novelists must do this because, their duty, Zola asserts, is to describe the ordinary course of average lives. The liberals are infected with a certain Zola kind of anti-hero nihilism; they lust to destroy the heroes in every walk of life, and allow only the average lives (the meek, humble, and mediocre, who are easy to control) to remain. If a man, a community, or an organization shows signs of making heroic efforts to achieve something monumental and useful, the liberals will try to destroy them.

*How school reopenings became political* The President Practically snarled as he made the accusation. “They think it’s going to be good for them politically, so they keep the schools closed,” Donald Trump said in the East Room of the White House on July 7, referring to Democratic governors. “We’re very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools.” With that, Trump waded into a debate that’s come to the fore of America’s pandemic response. Mere weeks before schools start, a brutal reality has descended on parents: after months of hunkering down wit... more »

Sadomasochism Finally Explained
Sadomasochism is the giving and receiving of pleasure from acts involving the receiving and giving of pain or humiliation.

The term “sadism” has its origin in the name of the Marquis de Sade, the French writer who practiced […]

It is all such a mess. I’m as angry at the insignificant as I am the overwhelming. When I look at my church website I see no order or sense, only glitz and programs I don’t care about. When I walk down the street I see a carelessly tossed empty can or sandwich wrap. When I open the refrigerator I see nothing healthy or life promoting, just crumbs and crap. When I put on a shirt, it doesn’t fit, is the wrong color, or I didn’t notice a spot when I hung it in the closet. When I pull up my mask, I can’t breathe, and don’t really think they block anything.

Now I give praise and thanks for what could not be avoided, and for every foolhardy choice. I cherish my wounds and their cures, a... more »

What Lies Ahead
On July 6, 2020 I posted my extended view and analysis why the 3rd quarter US GDP would falter–and lead to a W-shape recovery, as it typical of all Great Recessions. The current recession’s scenario was compared with 1929-30 and 2008-09, and 8 reasons were given why the US current economic rebound (not recovery) would falter. In this follow-on post a somewhat longer term scenario is added to the prior shorter, 3rd quarter view. It’s an addendum and sequel to the prior post, focusing on the more permanent impacts on the economy that will continue well into 2021 and beyond. Here’s the... more »
The Great American Firewall: On the Question of Censorship
The Great Firewall in China is a hot button subject that unites the most hawkish and militarist forces of the state with the so-called U.S. left. China’s legal exclusion of Google, Facebook, and other American corporate media from acceptable consumption is often viewed as the most obvious example of “authoritarianism.” Few in the U.S., even on the left, analyze censorship as a political question. Many instead debate the issue from the lens of American exceptionalism.

Saturday Snippet: Farming in a bygone age
With almost all farms now mechanized, electronicized and industrialized to a very great extent, there are few who remember that as little as a century ago, they required constant, back-breaking labor from the owner and his farm workers.

In his book "Life on the Old Farm: From Edwardian Times to the Coming of Mechanization", Tom Quinn brings us interviews with many who lived and worked on farms in England in the "bad old days". Obviously, social customs and lifestyles differed to some ext... more »

The Secret Story of How America Purchased Russian MiG-29 Fighters
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* There's a right price for anything. *Key point:* The Cold War was over and America wanted to study Soviet tech.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in late 1991, the newly independent states within its former domain inherited enormous stockpiles of weapons the Red Army left behind. One of the most interesting cases involved the air force of the tiny former Soviet republic of Moldova. The new republic’s inventory consisted of 34 MiG-29 Fulcrums, eight Mi-8 Hip helicopters a... more »
