USA: The Death of a Nation

Truth and all respect for truth has disappeared from American political discourse. Truth is no longer even respected in academia or courts of law. The entire purpose of the US system and its subsystems is to achieve selfish aims that are at the expense of truth, justice, and other peoples.

The most fundamental issue in philosophy is, was, and always will be, how do we know what we know about the world, assuming that we know anything about the world at all. The question is sometimes referred to as "the Problem of Knowledge," and the study of that question is known to philosophers as epistemology.

To most people, the question is hard to understand. Obviously we know a lot about the world: what we were taught in school, what we've read in books or newspapers, what we've seen on TV or on the Internet.

The Price of Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is more expensive than fossil fuel sourced energy. As there is no fuel cost, the high cost of renewable energy must be largely due to the cost of harvesting it. In large part, the cost of harvesting renewable energy is for equipment, windmills, transmission lines, etc., all of which have  an embodied energy content that is reflected in the price paid for the energy harvested.
Whether renewable energy sources provide any net energy is thus open to question. The 2014 Scientific American article: Wind and Solar Harvest Enough Energy Now to Pay Back Manufacture Plus Add Storage, claims that wind and solar do pay back. But that's likely only in the best cases. It is probable, therefore, that renewable energy is still mostly a counterproductive Will o' the Wisp.

Good News for Arctic Seals: Polar Bears Are Starving to Death

A video, produced by an Canadian environmental activist, showing a polar bear at the point of death by starvation, has gone viral: which is to say, it has been relentlessly hyped by the BrainWash media, such as the nauseating fount of lies, the Guardian, and passed on among thousands of FakeBook trend-followers and tweeting Twitterers as proof that global warming is destroying the world and that if "we," by whom they mean "you," don't cut "our," by which they mean "your," living standard, the world will very shortly end.

In thinking about this, it's worth remembering a couple of basic facts.

Is the US Government merely a Front for the Military Industrial Complex? Trillions in Unaccounted For Spending Says Yes

By Laurence Kotlikoff and Mark Skidmore*

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” ~ Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, The US Constitution

Forbes Magazine, December 8, 2017: On July 26, 2016, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a report “Army General Fund Adjustments Not Adequately Documented or Supported”. The report indicates that for fiscal year 2015 the Army failed to provide adequate support for $6.5 trillion in journal voucher adjustments. According to the GAO's Comptroller General, "Journal vouchers are summary-level accounting adjustments made when balances between systems cannot be reconciled. Often these journal vouchers are unsupported, meaning they lack supporting documentation to justify the adjustment or are not tied to specific accounting transactions…. For an auditor, journal vouchers are a red flag for transactions not being captured, reported, or summarized correctly."

(Note: After Mark Skidmore began inquiring about OIG-reported unsubstantiated adjustments, the OIG's webpage, which documented, albeit in a highly incomplete manner, these unsupported "accounting adjustments," was mysteriously taken down. Fortunately, Mark copied the July 2016 report and all other relevant OIG-reports in advance and reposted them here. Mark has repeatedly tried to contact Lorin Venable, Assistant Inspector General at the Office of the Inspector General. He has emailed, phoned, and used LinkedIn to ask Ms. Venable about OIG's disclosure of unsubstantiated adjustments, but she has not responded.)

The Case of General Flynn: Are the Tables About to Be Turned on the Deep State Gone Apeshit?

James Howard Kunstler, December 4, 2017: “Contact with Russians.” Grown men and women, doubling and re-doubling down on a political fantasy, repeat this prayer hour after hour on the cable channels and Web waves as if trying to exorcise a nation possessed by the unholy hosts of Hell. But such vicars of the news as Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, Chuck Todd, and Dean Baquet (of The New York Times) only shove the country closer to a cliff of constitutional crisis.

To a certain class of people — a class that includes a lot of Intellectuals-Yet-Idiots, as Nassim Taleb has dubbed them — President Donald Trump is a figure of supernatural malignity who must be ousted at all costs. I did not vote for Donald Trump and I do not admire him; but I rather resent the dishonesty that is being marshaled against him, especially the mis-use of judicial procedure and the mendacious propagandizing of the nation in service to that end.

Time for Tearful Trudeau to Apologize for the Theft of First Nations' Land?

It turns out that our lad, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is a cry-baby.

In October he wept publicly for Gord Downey while telling the weekly Liberal caucus meeting on Parliament Hill that the loss of Downey, a musician apparently, "made us less of a country."

Well, O.K., Gord was Justin's friend, so he said, so who can hold it against the PM for shedding a tear in public at the loss, or for the ridiculous hyperbole of elevating the composer of "Wheat Kings" (is that a breakfast cereal?) to the status of a national treasure.

Trump Trashes UN Globalist Plan for the Destruction of the Western Nations

CNN, December 3, 2017:  The United States notified the United Nations that it will no longer take part in the global compact on migration, saying it undermines the nation's sovereignty.

... The UN General Assembly president expressed regret at the US decision.

...The US participation in the process started last year "following the Obama Administration's decision to join the UN's New York Declaration on Migration" ....

Naturally, the UN General Assembly President regrets any nation having any sovereignty, especially sovereignty expressing the democratic wishes of the people — the United Nations is the ultimate globalist tool. So, also naturally, President Obama shared the United Nations General Assembly President's desire to replace the American electorate with people, such as himself, from the Third World. And so, also naturally, all liberals and democrats of the Treason Party call Trump racist for defending the interests of ordinary Americans whose country is being taken from them by mass replacement immigration. So, also naturally, the Mayor of London, the Muslim settler, Sadiq Kahn, seeks to override the authority of the Prime Minister and prevent the British Government's from inviting the American President to visit Britain. The inevitable, and apparently intended, outcome of the UN/Treason Party policy on immigration is that the nations that breed with the most irresponsible abandon, for example those African nations with a fertility rate three times the replacement rate, will simply overrun the world, wiping out every other race and nation in the process. Calling those who oppose such vile and indeed insane policies racist, equates racism with opposition to the genocide of one's own people.  Sadly, that simple mathematical fact is beyond the grasp of the self-hate-filled minds of the idiot white liberals in the mind-bending clutches of the Western media-educational-entertainments complex.

Outrageous: Whitehouse Christmas Decorations Include an Image of Christ

Meantime, President Trump trashes UK's PM Thereason May for failure in protecting the nation from Islamic Terrorism:

@Theresa_May, don't focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!

That will surely have the sellout crowd in a frenzy. As for the Muslim settler crowd, London's Muslim Mayor Sadiq Kahn, speaking for England, as he now routinely does, declared that it was:

increasingly clear that any official visit at all from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed.

Furthermore, he said, Trump's actions were:

a betrayal of the special relationship between our two countries.

Which seems to prove that Trump's view of Britain is correct: It is a countryheaded by a traitor subordinate to Muslim settlers.

Daily Mail: Theresa May's UK Government Complicit in Saudi Genocide in Yemen

Daily Mail, November 27, 2017: The British Army is secretly training Saudi Arabian troops to fight in Yemen, where the country has been accused of committing crimes against humanity, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Up to 50 UK military personnel have been teaching battlefield skills to soldiers who will be deployed in the so-called ‘dirty war’.

Thousands of civilians have been killed in bombing raids and an estimated one million children are facing starvation and serious illness as a result of the conflict.

The Army’s involvement is part of Britain’s ‘shameful complicity’ in the suffering, according to Tory MP and former Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell.

That parson's daughter, Thereason May, gives not a damn about assisting the Saudis in starving Yemeni children by the million is not in the least surprising, since May's own government is engaged in genociding its own people by a combination of suppressed reproduction (i.e., state mandated sex "education" that teaches that the only sexual vice is reproduction) and mass replacement immigration. In fact genocide is very much in vogue right across the Western world, from the frozen North, where Canadians have been informed by menswear model Justin Trudeau, that their's not a nation, and that the replacement immigrant crowd of non-Christian tradition are more worthy citizens than the native born, to the European continent where the media and political class automatically label those opposed to national capitulation to the multi-culti, race replacement party as "far right wing extremists." In fact, the Treason Parties in power have unanimously pronounced a sentence of death against the European people. And should anyone object, there's always the Holocaust Remembrance crowd to claim genocide as their very own, copyright privilege, while branding other victims as frauds, racists and anti-Semites.

Putin/Assad Meeting Cements the End of U.S. Dominance in the Middle East

By Tom Luongo

tomluongo.me, November 21, 2017: I’m not a terribly religious man. But, I’d like to believe there is a special corner in Hell reserved for those that fomented the Syrian Civil War.

From its beginnings in Libya with gun-funneling through the U.S. embassy in Benghazi to yesterday’s meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, this entire affair will be remembered as one of the most cynical and abusive periods of history.

The Syrian ‘Civil War’ was meant to be the crowning achievement of U.S./Israeli/Saudi policy in the Middle East, the apotheosis of neoconservatism.

Had it succeeded it would have transformed the world into a living hell governed by the likes of Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Angela Merkel and the U.S./U.K. banking cartel.

Human Intelligence Versus AI

AlphaGo Zero is a computer program that beat the program that beat the world Go champion. This program, when run on a computer system consuming as much power as a small town, differs from human intelligence in several ways. For example:

Fundamentalist Atheism

Fundamentalist Christians hold the Holy Bible to be the word of God, and hence every word of it to be the literal truth.

Fundamentalist atheists hold the Holy Bible to be based on nothing more than a collection of myths. In particular, they hold that the story about Jesus — including the new star in the East that heralded his birth, his delivery in a stable, the hay-filled manger in which as a new-born infant he was laid, his ministry in the company of twelve disciples, his death, his resurrection and his ascent unto Heaven — is taken virtually in its entirety from accounts of the lives of earlier religious figures including the Egyptian gods, Osiris and Horus, the Zoroastrian divinity, Mithras, and the Hindu deity, Krishna. In addition, they point to the inconsistencies in the gospel accounts of Jesus's life and teachings. On such grounds they reject Christianity as a false religion.
