The Reverse Ouroboros

Cody’s Showdy revisits QAnon after a copyright takedown of the original

G7- 2020

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. So Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio spent a lot of time at the G7 promoting Doral (which he owns and will charge top dollar for) as the site of next year’s G7. It’s not quite a done deal yet but the fix is in. Do you remember …

I guess we’ll see if there’s a Will Smith endorsement.

Italy’s Revolving Door

I missed this, been a bit busy and it didn’t show up as a topic among my other usual suspects. I think it’s significant as an indication of the pressure on most member Nations of the EuroZone and the EU. Italy’s Right-Wing Government Collapses – Will the Next One Be Better? The Real News August …

Sometimes it’s like this.

Posting from North Lake can be interesting, in that painful sense that it’s not at all reliable. However, since North Lake is pretty remote (we don’t have cell service, landlines only) they’re literally the only game in town. They are fairly prompt at fixing it if by prompt you mean anywhere from 8 to 48 …

On Mental Health

So I’m also the site’s clinically diagnosed sufferer from Depression and Anxiety (also SAD and PTSD) and I’ve been in Therapy for years (I recommend it to everyone). I’ve come to the conclusion that Existential Depression is not my main problem at the moment, in 14 Billion years or so the Universe will either disperse …

Erik Thorvaldson’s Big Swindle

I suppose as the resident Viking (I’m a quarter Danish, that’s why I have the Ben Franklin seal of ‘Whiteness’ you turkeys which is proof enough that not every idea is a good one) I have to say something about Greenland, and Denmark for that matter. Denmark is basically a flat swampy part of Germany …

Do you believe it’s fascism now?

Fascism is not dependent on anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is an unfortunate side effect. Accusing people of “dual loyalty” based upon religious belief is to say Catholics or Jews or Muslims are “other” and is pure hatred and bigotry designed to separate winners (fascists) from losers (everyone else). It’s an expression of the anger they have for …

Italian Politics, Briefly Explained.

This is a really helpful take given that I’d be tempted to start with Aleric’s Sack of Rome on August 24th, 410 (CE), not the less well known one by Brennus of the Gauls in 390 (BCE). Clio is a harsh mistress. After over 1000 years of division Giuseppe Garibaldi (a fascinating man, you should …

The Police State That Already Exists

Borders are not where you think they are. If you live within 100 miles of an “International” Airport (and most people do), you’re technically in “Border Country” and Customs and Border Patrol can stop and arrest you on whim, without pretext let alone a warrant or probable cause. I have no idea what it’s like …
