Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.

New DOJ notes reveal FBI panic after Trump tweeted he knew he was being spied on. It is the big secret. I have shut down conversations on Free Republic and 4Chan where some Cabal asshole is arguing the Cabal points with everyone as if he actually believes them. All I do is turn the conversation to the surveillance. All of them will flee rather than see continued discussion of it.
At 17:30, Tucker Carlson lets the mask slip when asked about any possible association between the CIA and 9/11, and bitterly insults the young guys asking the question. I have zero doubt Tucker knows about the surveillance. He did not get where he is without somehow baring his neck to the conspiracy, and making it clear he accepted their dominance. Either he was forced into submission as he rose, or he volunteered submission when he began. I would assume he provided them blackmail, which is really what I think the whole CIA entrance interview is, where you unburden yourself of every sin, crime, and other piece of “blackmailable” info, “for the good of national security” so you cannot be compromised, before your poly. Then you get pounded in the poly to make sure you kept nothing from them. And they get great video of you retelling all your sins. So Tucker has the surveillance, and knows at the least, there is no way 9/11 happened and surveillance did not see it and tell whoever is in control that it was coming.

An article at Yahoo details all the efforts to take out Madison Cawthorn. Note all the stupid prank videos with his cousin that have gotten aired and all the allegations they have assembled. That was not done overnight. I will bet since he first met Mark Meadows, they had him under coverage and he had somebody who was specifically assigned to assemble the file on him, just in case. And then he went and mentioned the orgies and cocaine common to DC, and now they want to make an example of him. Note where it says, “Multiple sources deeply involved in the race suspect the most sensitive material was leaked by people formerly close to Cawthorn.” If you enter politics, it is easy to find a lot of your coverage, because it will be among those closest to you. I suspect if you even mention an interest in politics in high school, you will have school friends who will be operating for the conspiracy.

Madeleine McCann was sold to a pedo ring who killed her says prosecutor. They are claiming the guy they have picked up was contracted by a pedo ring to kidnap her. Could fit, given there are suspect composites matching Ghislaine and both Podesta brothers. If Cabal were going to do it, even if they contracted some patsy, they would run surveillance around him to make sure everything went as planned. And if Ghislaine and the Podestas were on site, they might get roped into it.

Psychologists found a “striking” difference in intelligence after examining twins raised apart in South Korea and the United States. The South Korean had 16 IQ points over the American one. One thing which struck me about undergrad STEM courses was you were not given the material as a functional system, and expected to learn it. The process was you were given about ten times as many facts as an intelligence person could process, and then a couple of weeks later, given a test which was simply curved to the average of the class. In Biochem I, the first test was curved to 13 out of a hundred. That is not a typo. One test was curved to eight out of a hundred, and this was not a small college that wasn’t known for it’s STEM programs. The classes were large, the professors never bothered to do more than show up two or three times a week to speak at the class for an hour, and everything else, from questions to grading was handled by TA’s – students who already took the class and were given a few credits for acting like a junior professor in the course for a semester. There was no emphasis on how the various systems interacted, how they could be manipulated, no real world examples of productive manipulations of it or discussion of how any of the material was useful. You just memorized as many ball and stick models of molecules as you could, and memorized impersonal names of enzymes that catalyzed reactions between them. And since you would only be able to memorize about 15%-25% of the systems you were given, forget about understanding the system, Some of the material I had learned in high school AP classes, and I was struck by how in High School we covered all the material as almost a complete story of people interacting in groups, and there was back and forth with the teachers, and by the time you left the course you understood the system, its purpose, and how each part was relevant to the others, and the greater organism. Whereas in college you simply were being taught to reproduce drawings of chains of molecular modifications, with little understanding of what they meant, or how they fit together, or how the whole system worked cohesively. Had I not had the superior High School instruction, I am not sure I would have continued to bother with it, or my understanding would be anywhere near what it is now. At the time I once broached what I viewed as a shortcoming with a professor and was told undergraduate STEM majors were just culling the populations for those who could survive, so they could be sent to graduate school, where actual learning would take place, but it still didn’t explain why it was only testing gross memorization of ball and stick drawings, and not deeper understandings of what was happening, or an understanding of creative manipulations of the systems. At the time, I thought the people who designed the courses were just devoid of any understanding of what creativity was and how it happened, but now I wonder if, like everything else, they were seeking to keep those who might upset the system from moving forward in the programs.

“Psychologists found a ‘striking’ difference in intelligence after examining twins raised apart in South Korea and the United States.”
One factor must be the diet and all the food additives that are legal in the US but not in other first world countries.
Education is also valued more in Far Eastern, Confucian cultures than anywhere else. Korean teens just study, study, study. South Korea is a very competitive society, not much fun if you aren’t a workaholic.
I remember BCE mentioned he always felt very clear and sharp when overseas (in war zones.) But he compared the feeling to being back in the states and said it’s like being foggy all the time by comparison. He just wondered aloud if it wasn’t the water or some other environmental factor.
That is so interesting. I’ve written on here, way back I would spend part of the summer helping a friend whose business did service work in a very elite neighborhood, where the absolute creme of the crop lived. When we would arrive there, the world felt different, and I felt different. Your body would relax and flow, you would feel clear and energized, and there was just an elevation of mood like you would feel if you went on a vacation to the Bahamas, and had nowhere to be. I always marveled, because those days were up at 4AM, home at 8 or 9PM, and it was nonstop work 6 days a week, but it felt so different from regular life. I told myself back then it must have been the precision landscaping affecting me psychologically or something about the plants, but if you find the last time I wrote on it here, I hypothesized they may have stuff attached to the poles all over the country designed to subtly diminish health and vitality, so the plebes are not able to compete with them, but they make sure they keep it out of their own neighborhoods.
It would be interesting to crowdfund a month-long rental of a mansion in West Palm Beach, stick BCE in it, and see if he felt the way he used to overseas.
Now I am wondering if Q’s ten days of darkness are going to be nuking the power grid, and having everyone suddenly feel what real health and vitality is like, before revealing some scheme like that.
suspense killing me, google no help. who is BCE
Big Country Expat. He is another blogger with a decent following, along with Feral Irishman and Busted Knuckles.
Tucker is a Swanson heir, is an interview I heard that was recorded between his CNN and Fox tenure.
His tone was just as contemptuous, and very revealing as to his perspective of ‘the people outside the gate’.
Cucker is a misleading gate keeper.

Madeleine McCann was sold to a pedo ring who killed her says prosecutor.
the composite people say look like the Podesta brothers are from witnesses describing the same person who is most likely Jerry McCann.
I did an analysis of the statement (I am a statement analyst) by David Payne and there are indications Madeline was killed by her mother, most likely accidently in a rage.
“….Madeline was killed by her mother, most likely accidently in a rage. …”
I read the article and it said they both were Doctors. I ask do any of you know what kind of stress and friction people have to go through to be Doctors? It hardly seems that they could go through all this and then suddenly now they are raging murderers. That doesn’t make sense.
You’re assuming that it was sudden, and that they haven’t gotten away with murdering people before.
Being a doctor is a perfect way to murder people and get away with it. At worst, it’s an “oopsie” malpractice suit.

How long has it been since such a remark in the news was acceptable in the USA? Russia has really been getting under my skin lately.
Russia is a society without Cabal. So that is the way a group of humans will naturally exist. And in the West, Cabal passed the point of no return, from the surveillance, to the corruption and theft, to everything they have fucked up. They can’t undo it, and they can’t let us just be. Now they need to weaken society and break all our bonds, and leave all our functioning social groups in ruins, or we would unite and hunt them all down like the cancer they are. So we are just on this downward slide. And Cabal presently has established too much control for us to stop it.
Russia is what we could be if we could get rid of this thing.
We’d be better. Russia had no sense of civic duty – no communities coming out for four or five weekends in a row to build a playground, no church-run soup kitchens, or community food banks. The expectation is that the government handles all that. With the addition of the Protestant work ethic and the American sense of civic duty, our public spaces and community run projects, without cabal interference, would far exceed Russia.
It’s still that way in Texas.

Of course the twin study was Korean; they’re obsessed with IQ. A few (hopefully interesting) thoughts:
-The Korean education system is all rote memorization, like the biochem class AC was talking about but no curves allowed and cranked up to 11. As a result, Koreans get REALLY good at taking tests, in may cases by learning how to game them to maximize their scores (even IQ tests because, being deeply Confucian at a genetic level, they rely heavily on test-based ranking to establish a meritocracy). This is also why private tutors who are good at explaining how things work in a system become MAJOR celebrities in Korea. Koreans educated in the RoK are really good at regurgitating facts and finding technical loopholes, but tend to be terrible at free thinking and reasoning. In other words, they tend to be very good at coming up with logical conclusions using assumptions they are comfortable with BUT they are not so good at challenging the assumptions themselves to draw novel conclusions (unless they were tested/trained to be). BUT to their credit, Koreans end up with a MASSIVE knowledge base compared to their peers in the Western world. They’re basically a nation of scholar-bureaucrats.
-IQ as most people concieve of is oversimplified. Like any other subject not immediately evident, there’s a lot of nuance that I haven’t read anyone really try to reconcile. They all assume final scores are final, which is very useful in drawing large-scale statistical conclusions. But general intelligence isn’t so simple. Depending on the test and my physical/mental condition at the time, I’ve seen my results vary up to 2SD. To really zero in on one’s g (general intelligence) in the “spirit of the law” sense requires taking a battery of the many IQ tests out there multiple times (somehow minimizing carryover), while reconciling (a) one’s condition at the time of taking the tests, (b) the design/psychometrics of each individual test, and (c) how the tests differ. In reality, it’s much more complicated. I’ve had cases where I’ve entered a flow state while taking a novel nonverbal test like Raven’s Progressive Matrices and simply blasting through even the toughest items. Yet I’ll get hung up on unscrambling words in a conventional IQ test.
-I suspect that Cabal has further obscured the IQ concept for good reason. They don’t want people to understand that the principles of human biodiversity are real. One of the bigger proofs to me: Why do the *real* high-IQ societies (NOT Mensa) like the Prometheus Society (>/=4SD IQ) only accept the Miller’s Analogies Test (MAT) after 2004? Because they changed the SAT and many other standardized tests into the “New SAT” and into new versions that don’t actually measure g. Also because the valid/reliable tests ceased to be updated to prevent carryover effects. According to the 160+IQ Prometheus Society members, only the MAT remained, however nominally, a valid/reliable measure of g. I say nominally because the MAT involves a LOT of background knowledge someone with unconventional schooling might not have. It would be impossible to pick up even a 190IQ 6SD genius with the MAT if he isn’t familiar with classical composers or doesn’t have a working knowledge of French pastries.
-Again, Koreans are obsessed with IQ for cultural/historical/genetic reasons. They are also obsessed with geniuses. But because of this obsession (combined with a rich cultural history and their higher than average national intelligence), they have developed a very useful concept not talked about much in the West anymore: “capacity for genius”. I’ll call this “g+” or “IQ+” for lack of better terms. In a lot of ways, this is far more useful than IQ, though it’s more of an extension.
–So a “genius” isn’t just someone with a genius-level IQ, but someone who has the capacity for genius, “g+”, some sort of extra-intellectual dimension of pattern-recognition, capacity for bursts of creativity, and/or inexplicable depth of insight. The one important thing about g+ is that the outward marks of someone’s genius MUST be reliably replicable. Capacity of genius is highly praised in Korean culture. Someone with recognized automatically g+ gets honor even if they are otherwise unremarkable. Also, g+ is distinguished from “mastery”, in which a “master” got really good at something with unending practice. You can be a master without a capacity for genius.
–g+ can account for someone whose CPU runs at 115IQ normally (due to temperament/physical conditions/lack of knowledge-base/etc.) but who is very good at entering a flow-state, leading to “overclocking”. In such cases, this guy might reliably generate insights only those that are 1-2SD above his nominal IQ are typically able.
–This “overclocking” is how they might explain why many geniuses die at a young age, which is likely reconciled with TCM knowledge. They are simply draining their life force in exercising their genius.
–g+ can also account for individuals with highly specialized insight or creative mastery that comes from years of diligent study/practice. Richard Feynman is a commonly cited example of someone with an above-average yet unremarkable IQ who was still touted as a genius in his field. I’ve found that those who are around the 2SD IQ range (125-135) can become absolute creative geniuses in the fields they become obsessed with, reliably and regularly able to generate groundbreaking insights.
–This also accounts for those with average or even below-average IQ but with tremendous talent in specific areas, like musical prodigies.
Excellent post
My experience in USC engineering classes: when I walked in to a class first day, and saw a sea of Asian faces, I knew I’d rule the curve. Some professors would hand back tests in descending order. The baffled looks of Asian guys as the white girl dominated them all was oddly satisfying. 😀
IOW, the South Koreans operate under a notion of IQ that believes IQ is something malleable through training and education. They acknowledge the naturally and effortlessly brilliant, but make plenty of room for the obsessive-compulsive, the strivers, the singularly focused, etc.
In fact, it looks like the Koreans believe in what Le Griffe de Lion used to call “the smart fraction.”
A society will always produce geniuses. The problem is there are not enough of them to propel your society forward. What is needed is the cadre of people who are able to understand, build and maintain what the geniuses create. That is the “smart fraction.” It looks like that is what the South Koreans are cultivating. It’s what you would expect to see in a homogenous, Cabal-free society.
The South Koreans are not only developing people all along the Bell Curve, they are trying to continually shift the bell curve to the right.
You are correct about cultivating the “smart fraction,” but I think that’s more a function of their Confucian nature rather than of g+. Confucian societies are basically designed to shift IQ to the right, because smarter people make more money and are able to have more kids, though obviously this isn’t the case in nations that are post-Industrial Revolution.
The notion of “capacity for genius” is more nuanced and mystical than just something malleable and growable. It’s something the Koreans I’ve talked to (I’ve tutored/taught many, both kids and adults) consider something you simply have or you don’t, like fast-twitch muscle fibers. So yes, they cultivate intelligence and intellectual achievement, but g+ I’m talking about is treated more like how a vertical long jump is treated in athletics, though it can be far more specific.
Unfortunately, the RoK was taken over by Cabal when it was just a third-world shithole ravaged by Japanese domination, global conflict, then civil war. They took over the media first, which ended up being Korea’s downfall from their potential as East Asia’s Christian powerhouse. Despite their intelligence, their collectivist/Confucian nature was not tempered into a semblance of the Anglo-Saxon independence that came from generations of Christianity. It really is a shame because that nation could have become the “USA” of the East; that’s how powerful the Christian movement became post-Japanese occupation. Cabal did their best to nip the Korean Christian revival at the bud. This partially explains how Korea recently dropped from the #2 nation sending the most missionaries (The other part is it’s way easier for them to send missionaries from the USA, so there’s that). From what I understand, most in the RoK waste their intelligence on the same frivolous pursuits as the sheep here, just in ways that take up more of their spare brainpower. Like StarCraft. And they pay for classes and certifications for EVERYTHING hobby-related, apparently, like cooking, fashion, music, martial arts, fitness etc. They love their official certifications. Like I said, they’re a nation of bureaucrat-scholars. Sounds strange but it’s true.

Many tricks and techniques exist to help with this, or to simply aid in route memorization. Surely you are familiar
with a few of these.
BUT, have you ever known if even one of these techniques being taught in the American government schools.
Fact is, modern “American” education (for the Goyim) actually deleted and covered up one very famous example of such an aid: “casting out nines,” which offers a quick check to most math problems. Taking out nines was well known in America from colonial times through the nineteenth century.
I’ve made long study of learning methods. In my opinion, by far the most important is the Spacing Effect, aka how to lock information reliably into your long-term memory for easy retrieval. The second most important is related but not really cannonized in literature on learning: How to outline/organize the information you want to stick in your brain in the most efficient way possible for you to review. If you master just these two techniques, you can, with minimal additional effort, turn yourself into a walking encyclopedia over time as long as you continue to learn new things and properly set them into your long-term memory.
Spacing Effect. That makes sense. Unlike cramming mass quantities of correct answers, then not remembering one of them twenty minutes after a test. What do you think of mind-mapping for the outlining phase?
Yes, I’ve read a LOT of “brain hacking”, memory, brain optimization literature (Tony Buzan is one of the godfathers of this), and the Spacing Effect is by far the most significant of all “techniques”. This is also through having taught kids and having worked as a “learning consultant” for working professionals taking job-related examinations. Combined with good outlining or organization of material, it is extremely powerful. The rules of thumb for review: 1 day after first learning the material, then 1 week from last review, then 1 month, then 6 months, then 1 year. If your learning was particularly complete, you might not even need an outline but just review the material in your head. No need to limit yourself and everyone will find their own methods.
To answer your question: I’ve experimented extensively with mind-mapping and mind-mapping software and have come to the conclusion that it is a useful tool for smaller-scale or short-term/temporary outlining. Also for brainstorming.
I greatly prefer typed-out and nested outlines (using Tab and Shift-Tab on most word processing software to set outline levels) when summarizing/organizing detailed information, because they allow for a combination of structure and detail that mind-maps simply cannot match. I think for most people, the power of the simple nested outline cannot be matched. But that’s specific to me and my opinion only. Over long practice, I’ve begun to think and write in outline form (I am able to hold large “chunks” of outline sections in my working memory as I speak/write/brainstorm), which you might pick up from how I comment here. It’s hard to explain concisely, but one of these days I might publish a guide for those with sufficient pain tolerance.
If I ever have time, I would like to take it to the next level: to learn Emacs Lisp to develop an even more flexible, adapable, and neurologically “ergonomic” method of deep-learning, long-term memory augmentation, and hyper-accurate memory retrieval. I originally got this concept from Leo Littlebook, a former commenter here, and it is the logical next step to the outline.
“….If I ever have time, I would like to take it to the next level: to learn Emacs Lisp…”
Emacs Lisp…maybe it would be more productive to just whack yourself with a hammer.
You really should take a look at Rebol programming language. It will be much easier to learn, it’s free, and it has all sorts of database resources built in. It’s also being continued, abet at a glacial pace, by someone modernizing it to be compiled. Red Programming Language.
It’s sort of like LISP and a little like Forth and a little like LOGO. One of it’s primary goals is to be a language construction set. Where you can tune it to operate as you wish. It also has the simplest form of making GUI’s for the programs of anything anywhere.
Here’s a good background by a guy whose been programming since he was a little kid on commodore 64’s about what’s good about it.
http://redprogramming.com/Why%20Rebol%20and%20Red.html
Here’s a page of other resources. If it interests you I can feed you a mass of links on this.
http://www.rebolforum.com/index.cgi?f=printtopic&topicnumber=47&archiveflag=new
Thanks, Sam J. I skimmed through the first article (because I could only understand a fraction of it ) and this looks right up my alley, particularly because I’d really only be learning how to code for the sole purpose of augmenting my efficiency. I would greatly appreciate if you could feed me that mass of links.
As an aside, one of the main reasons why I had chosen LISP was because it, through the dialect Scheme (which I think was designed specifically for teaching), kept coming up as THE language that “gurus” (programming rock stars like Eich and the like) recommended to learn first to most efficiently grasp the most essential of programming principles, such as recursion.
Yeah I did miss it. This is going to be a bit of dump of comments I have saved. Some of the best I’ve already listed in that forum.
I’m willing to bet if you learn a little Rebol and then look at lisp and scheme you will say to yourself, what the hell, why learn all that.
There’s something very significant about Rebol. GUI’s are very easy. So to make what you want you start with a basic GUI, with no logic or behind the scenes process from the GUI. Then after you have the GUI like you want you plug the logic in for the elements in the GUI. I’m willing to bet the logic part in Rebol is no more difficult than the logic in lisp. In fact it’s likely much easier but in lisp and scheme you will play hell getting it to display a GUI without a lot of work and study.
I put the links at the bottom to books but look at Nick Antonaccio stuff. He has a lot of do this and see that type stuff to get you started.
One of the most impressive things about Rebol and soon to be Red Programming Language is is compaction of productivity in a very small package. Super impressive is the ability to do GUI programs with something even simpler than HTML. If you’re doing this mostly for yourself to write small tools there’s probably nothing as good anywhere. Have you ever tried to write any GUI controlled stuff? It’s a huge hairball. On everything. I looked at many of them and gave up because I don’t have any sort of software that I can make money off of so I’m not going to spend 6 months learning this stuff. Rebol doesn’t take that.
I’m not a guru of Rebol I just like to look at stuff and even if you don’t know everything it’s fairly easy to recognize really good stuff.
A quick background. Rebol was written by Carl Sassenrath who brought multitasking to personal computers in the Amiga. He had very bad timing. He planned to make money off of it right when programmers decided that only open source free languages were the thing. So he worked on it still for a good while but it never caught on. Others that used it were hooked so he had a small but fervent following. He lost interest so one of the people in the group of programmers, (Doc), decided to make a open source version, Red Programming Language, with improvements like a compiled domain specific language(DSL) so that Rebol could be used for systems level programming like C and C++. The flexibility of the language is such that you can use it to write a new language and a compiler for it. He has been working on it for several years. He made what I think was big mistake and wrote all the low level graphics in whatever OS it was to run on. I think he hates me because I tried mightily to get him to not do that but…he did. So I suspect the OS GUI complexity dragged him down and slowed the release. It will come out but it will take a while.
So Carl, the original Rebol writer, sees the writing on the wall and open sources most of Rebol with a few changes called R3 generally, (original Rebol=R2). People have worked on this. One company uses it in their Programmable Logic control factory systems. Others are working on just the R3 with no graphics.
The best way to go is use the original Rebol as it’s very close to all the others. Wait for RED to come out later and then it is almost exactly the same but with more features and compatible. My understanding is the windows version does a great deal of what’s needed already.

A repeat with a lot of links.

A link to books on Rebol. Open the title in a new link then you can download from several different servers. Some may not work try another.
http://libgen.rs/search.php?req=rebol&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def
I would say the links above cover the vast amount of what can be found. Especially look at the “big idea” stuff and all of Nick Antonaccio’s stuff. With Nick’s stuff you can follow along and quickly learn to get a GUI and a little logic up very fast. The other books are good and I think the one by Olivier Auverlot, Peter Wood covers a lot of material.
The parts of Rebol called bind and parse are incredibly important but myself, I can’t say I really understand it. I almost do but not quite.
Wow, thanks Sam! I’ve saved all of this. I’m going to start tackling this once I’m in the position to capitalize on it and I’ll get back you, whenever that is in the future. The goal is to develop something with a shallow learning curve anyone can use that maximizes long-term memory storage and retrieval.
I aspire to a working knowledge of French pastries.
Bruce Charlton & Edward Dutton’s book The Genius Famine is well worth reading.
My own IQ is quite low, but I’m not sure my life (of menial minimum wage jobs, repeated near homelessness, debt) would have been different with a better brain. Success is also about character and luck.
“Success is also about character and luck.”
Been waying on this concept better than 35 years. Most of my adult life. Really making me think today. Is it character? Or is it luck? Or is it both?
Character can be built if a man is willing to sacrifice.
Luck: sometimes you can make it, and sometimes you can’t.
Thank you, Johannes!
Heraclitus said, Ethos anthropoi daimon–a man’s character is his fate. In Old Norse, hamingja can be seen as “luck” but is also an aspect of the psyche. As if chance events are actually a manifestation of who we are.
If you’ve ever encountered someone who just seems “jinxed” from birth, with literally nothing working out in any good way, while some people seem “blessed,” and able to do all sorts of stupid stunts and not ever suffer much even when things go south. Sometimes that’s not real good either, at least for optimal development. Nice if there was a happy medium.
I believe in luck and Divine intervention.
But then there is also cabal stepping in to create artificial good and bad luck.
“Success is also about character and luck.”
Baring being born into it or being in some sort of cabal or group, everyone I see successful, (we’re talking about money here somewhat), is so because they jump on every single opportunity that they see that they can do something with. They aggressively go after that which they want. I am not so good at this, in fact dismally so.
In fact this also applies to not only money but other things in life. What ever you want you must go after.
I am not negating luck completely. Sometimes being the right place at the right time is the key to all sorts of success but if you are not doing anything with it then…

The flip side is, if you’re feeding Garbage In, you’ll get Garbage Out. We now have medical schools graduating new MDs who are stuffed with Woke, most of which goes completely against sanity, much less recognized medicine. Most of them will know better, and some will take it as face value. Each successive generation of doctors is going to get more of it, because thec cycle always winds back into itself.
Somewhere, some “educator” is already preparing a medical textbook that will carefully explain how white blood cells are examples of systemic oppression. It will be taught as absolute fact.

Just going to point out the Torah and quietly leave.
As to Tucker Carlson, I remember 4 years ago or so he was having problems with Antifa protesting outside of his home.
Obviously the machine gave Antifa is home address and orders to appear there.
The only question is if it was elaborate theater that Tucker was engaging in or if he was being given a warning.
My guess is that Tucker has been trying to break free, or pushing the edge of the envelope, while knowing what red lines he simply must not cross.
I don’t find this last possibility shocking. I engage in it myself even in a forum like this even with some anonymity. I know people are watching me and I know that there are some things I just need to keep my mouth shut about.

Very good comment on IQ from Macaque Mentality today, so I’ll share a few simpler insights of my own. This is more about IQ and careers.
Just as every village has a village idiot, every village has a village genius, too. The smartest guy out of 100 people has an IQ of about 135. You’re lucky if you’re at that level, but in nations of millions, you still have a lot of other, even more intelligent, people to compete with. Even if you’re at 160, others who are dumber than you can still beat you because they have better connections, are tougher, have better social skills, have more luck, etc.
I’m now going a bit off topic, but I want to write about the stories of two different people who got very close to reaching their ambitious career goals, but then just didn’t make it. Survivorship bias makes people like them invisible, so maybe this will help some of the less experienced readers be more realistic about what’s possible for them.
One of them wanted to become a professor in the humanities and everything seemed to be going according to plan. He won grants, got to publish papers and attend academic conferences, but just stalled out in the end. He worked hard and had an IQ of 125-130, but that just wasn’t good enough. Now he works in a bank.
The other only had an IQ of 120, but was an attractive, charming female and that certainly helped her with her ambitions as a film critic. At her peak, she was one of the biggest film reviewers in her state and got paid to participate in panels at film festivals, etc. Somehow she couldn’t parlay that into something more permanent and now she will teach high school until her retirement. She was just too much of an independent feminist to start a family and become a housewife. While I think the guy could be happy in the bank, I just know that she must be offended by the ordinariness of her fate.
In short, if you’re ambitious, you better be a whiz kid if you don’t have the right connections.
James Thompson’s “7 Tribes if Intellect” is worth considering. What he doesn’t contemplate is the real world of networks and secret societies that make the difference in life outcomes.
https://www.unz.com/jthompson/the-7-tribes-of-intellect/
Let’s understand how the real world works. We all have concentric circles of loyalty that radiate outward, from most loyal at the closest ring to least loyal at the outer ring.
Now picture a powerful American oligarch. What do his loyalties look like? First, he will have his wife and children. Then, he will have his parents. Then, he will have his siblings. Then he will have his aunts and uncles. Then he will have his cousins and second cousins. Then he will have his closest business associates. Then he will have his closest and oldest friends. From there, he will have his outer world of employees, casual acquaintances, and strangers.
Does anyone honestly think that this oligarch is going to leap-frog over all of his concentric circles of loyalty to grant money and power to random strangers based on how they do on some test, be it IQ, standardized, or otherwise? No, he would not, and no one would expect him to, because no one else would.
Once we admit this, then we see that traditional meritocracy is impossible and that traditional notions of upward mobility do not exist. Education, for example, cannot work the way advertised. Education certainly did not work for the teachers, who, though they can teach you to spin proverbial lead into gold, somehow never manage to do so for themselves. After all, if education mattered, then teachers should be the most likely candidates to get hired away by corporations, making them the most sought after employees, and therefore the highest paid, not their students. Yet, we don’t see this. Teachers grub for money like blue-collar workers.
There are only three ways to get ahead in the world. Either you raise your status within it, reduce the status of others, or withdraw from arenas too difficult to fight. Status counts for everything because you will need to network, where you can leverage other people’s brains in exchange for leveraging yours. Status will work to prevent you from being bypassed as an inferior node, by making sure that you are an equal or a better to the people around you. Whatever you do, do not be worse. How you look, how you talk, how you act, how you dress, how much money you make, and what you do for a living, are all potential attack vectors that can derail you, so control these aspects as closely as possible and you will have a chance at making it in this world.
Understand that most of what you are being taught conventionally is wrong or bad advice and learn to ignore it.
Europeans have been outbred enough to make the genius strategy possible:

Pure meritocracy is impossible. But Europeans had become more meritocratic than most.

I can’t think of many who ever got a very decent job by answering random ads. I have had a couple such careers. Literally everyone hired at those places got in because of who they knew. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as one is not expecting otherwise, after being lied to by the system.

Musk says he’d reverse Trump’s Twitter ban. A little more squishy than the headline, in that he basically says banning Trump created Truth Social and now they now have less ability to control Trump.
Hard to pin Musk down on what he is. We know companies like Boeing and Raytheon have gone full H1B and their engineering staffs are full of foreigners. We also know the status of Silicon Valley as basically a full-blown foreign enclave.
I wonder if the suite of companies Musk started is there to filter all of the non-compromised engineering staff from the rest of the MIC. Every high-end, duel-use, research project has been shifted from compromised elements of the MIC to the uncompromised suite of Musk corporations.
This would explain Biden’s snub of Musk: the Chinese are not happy their spies are locked out of the MIC on the latest cutting-edge technology.

The only homemade formula that’s actually nutritious. (Copying breast milk isn’t easy). https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/childrens-health/formula-homemade-baby-formula/
True. Even better to actually breastfeed after making sure the breasts work.
Yes, WAP came to my mind also. Great leaps above the common one you see batted around that has Karo syrup in it, which is really terrible stuff, especially since HFCS came into use.
Jim Stone just posted this old Roman baby Formula
Fr: Jim Stone
the baby formula story is such big news, I’ll comment
This was caused by a pre meditated government planned shutdown of a large Abbot laboratories factory in Michigan. Abbot cannot figure out why the factory was shut down because there was never any trace of any contamination found there. It is obvious the baby formula shortage is completely fabricated by intentional beurocrat saboteurs. Stolen elections have consequences, they WANT this crisis.
That said, commercial baby formula is SO BAD it only proves a baby’s body is so well prepped against nutritional hardship that it can fabricate something out of nothing. That’s the only way babies survive it, if you gave an adult that spleck as a sole food source there would be enormous problems. The only reason why it is formulated in laboratories is to let the manufacturers know just how far they can push the dumbing down B.S. without having a whole lot of kids die. commercial baby formula will never produce the next Tesla or Newton. You’d be far better off just giving the kid whole milk mixed with a little sugar provided the kid was not given a milk allergy by a sabotaged vax. The minefield . . . . . . .
Here is how you make baby formula that’s actually good for the kid:
Take a half pound of barley and loosely tie it up in a cotton cloth that is porous. It has to be loosely woven cotton like this. This type of cotton is what was used in diapers before modern diapers. loosely tie the barley in it (the barley will expand) and put it in a pot with about 6 liters of water. Boil it for 6 – 7 hours. Pour the barley water off. Throw away the barley. There should be about 4 liters of water left after boiling (a slow covered boil) If you do it right the water should be bright pink. Mix that with three liters of milk and add a pound of sugar to the final 7 liter mix. If it comes out to 6 liters still add a pound of sugar, it will not be too much. The actual good limit is 27 ounces of sugar added to 7 liters. It is supposed to be sweet. The baby needs sugar for energy. Make sure you are not a snowflake and USE SUGAR, NOT A SUBSTITUTE. Corn syrup is also permissible in the same amount but nothing else. I’d add a couple grams of salt (just the tip of a teaspoon) to the final mix of about 7 liters and no more, it should not taste like it has salt. It should taste like it has NO SALT. Freeze what you are not going to use right away. You’ll have a happy healthy baby, that recipe totally destroys commercial formula. I can back this up with hard data. That is THE RECIPE. If anyone posts a recipe more complicated or quicker or easier or more “nutritious” than that, it is a load of crap. That is the old Roman recipe that has been around for 2,000 years and it produces great results. I know this because the family used that recipe when a mother could not produce milk, it is all the kid had and the (not vaxxed) kid is sharp as a whip.
I thought about posting this but, it makes no sense.
“…half pound of barley and loosely tie it up in a cotton cloth…put it in a pot with about 6 liters of water. Boil it for 6 – 7 hours.. Pour the barley water off. Throw away the barley. There should be about 4 liters of water left after boiling…”
If you pour the barley water off then throw away the barley best as I can tell you have nothing. After you throw away the water where does the “4 liters of water” come from??? Maybe I’m too stupid to make baby formula.
You pour the water off into another container, not down the drain.
OMG I’m an idiot. You don’t throw away the barley water.
It’s an odd way of phrasing, though. Why not just say,”remove the barley”?
It’s pretty reliable brewing speak. You literally pour if off the top of the barley, leaving the barley in the bottom as remains.
Also, no need to throw away the barley. It makes excellent livestock feed.
Homemade formula not about copying breastmilk. It is simply the next best thing. BETTER THAN FACTORY FORMULAE.

Marines to field multibarrel sniper rifle to replace two existing weapons
https://www.yahoo.com/news/marines-field-multibarrel-sniper-rifle-171155203.html
Clarification for anyone skimming comments: It’s a modular swappable barrel/caliber system, not a double-barrel sniper like I initially thought reading the headline.
Would be funny as hell having a double-barrel .300 WINMAG though. Always double tap, you can never be too sure.

It may very well be that the James Webb Telescope is fake. If so, it is so sad. Really heartbreaking. This was, if it is real, a great technological achievement. Jim Stone said the first pictures supposedly from Webb are fake and can be readily proved so. Here’s the supposed first pictures comparing the old Spritzer telescope to the new Webb view. Here’s the picture
https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/05/09/miris-sharper-view-hints-at-new-possibilities-for-science/
There’s a problem, though. Someone screwed up because the little stars/points/rays, off the star are from the telescope supports but…there’s eight and Webb can not have that number because it has three supports instead of four. The four could give you eight rays off the star but not six. Webb should be six. I was of course astounded by this. Jim Stone said the telescope would be fake long ago. That the whole thing was BS and we would eventually see this. I didn’t believe it, but it appears he may be right.
See the three supports.
Elsewhere, it also says that the number of rays from a star are from the number of supports. This is so sad. The explanation,
“…Now here’s an example of pointy stars you would have seen dozens of times, and perhaps never noticed.
You’ve heard of the famous Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched in 1990. Whenever there’s a star in the image, that star has four points or spikes — even though it’s a round little dot. Why?
Because in the Hubble Space Telescope, the smaller secondary mirror is held in position by four cross hair-like struts, and the incoming light has to travel past these struts to land on the bigger main mirror. This light gets bent, giving the star its characteristic four points….”
https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2015/06/16/4253961.htm
There’s another site showing a Webb picture of a star and it shows the right number of rays off of it. Maybe they caught on.

The US is just one big lying Potemkin village. Now I begin to wonder. There are pictures of Mars that look like they could have possibly been filmed on earth. Were they??? I no longer feel 100% confident that they are not pictures from earth. That there is no Mars rover at all.

Good job, you caught them on your first space lie. There’s no turning back on pulling the “NASA is nothing but a hoax-generator” thread now.
Wait until you realize space doesn’t exist as written at all; that we live in a level and motionless realm separated from the unknown and unexplorable waters above and below by a God-created firmament.
It’s a wild ride from here, friend. Have fun!
You want him to go from one set of lies to another?
Because flat earth is nothing but lies stacked on easily disproven lies.
Maybe I’m wrong to freak out over the James Webb Telescope. I see some other pictures from different detectors. here.
They show 6 points of light or rays. It’s only one type detector that shows 8. Why is that??? It’s still suspicious.
There was an eccentric female on Twitter claiming that her satanic family had taken cerebrospinal fluid out of her on a regular basis. It got cross-posted with a hotdog chain that had business adresses that were private homes and medical clinics, but with really peculiar hours. One am in the morning to 3 am in the morning, not easily explained things.
I suppose I’d like to point out that pregnancy is a nine month bath in pure growth factors? That’s all well and good for women, but for men? If you are having bare skin sex with the mother of your children, in the same way you can pick up a venereal disease from a stranger’s vaginal vault, you can pick up chimeric stem cells from the mother of your children’s vaginal vault.
Prior to abundant soap and water, you wouldn’t be doing a full scrub down on your private parts. The white blood cells and chimeric cells would have time to get up into your body. Stem cells go to inflamed or broken areas- so you would get patched up with fresh, new chimeric cells.
This post and your other posts like this are mindblowing. I still haven’t done the Niacin but I will get to it one of these days.
As an aside to anyone that’s interested: I’ve started taking 500mg of NMN a day (this is the stuff that David Sinclair, the anti-aging guy, takes) with the requisite resveratrol and it’s been amazing, like a cup of coffee that lasts all day. My mom’s eyes, which normally have redness due to inflamed blood vessels, cleared up completely in just a couple of weeks of taking the stuff, though her doses are smaller b/c the increased energy messes with her sleep.
NMN is a type of niacin. Niacin goes through metabolic changes, pull a molecule here, stick a molecule there. Every step in the metabolic cycle gets a new name.
So you are already taking niacin.
Wow, thanks for this!
Very glad to be of use.
Thank you for describing the effects these things have on people that you know. I look up lab experiment papers after I hear or read about an effect, not before.
To remind my self what you said about the B vit. I went back and found your comments. They are here

Good stuff. Could you tell me or provide some sort of link to a dosage rate for thiamine, b1, riboflavin, b-2, and niacin, b-3???
I tried NMN. It gave me massive anxiety but I tend towards that. It made it much worse.
There’s your FDA approved amount. You can get that from a multivitamin. For healthy people it is nice insurance.
If you are having issues, start with one B-1. A few days later go to two. One at breakfast, one at lunch. Then add dinner. That’s a lot of thiamine. For most people, that’s more than enough.
For me? I was very sick. I was going up to, like, ten a day, until I had a nightmare, a very memorable nightmare. I assumed I had topped off thiamine.
Then I went to riboflavin, B-2. That did not take as long. A month or so. I was still taking my maintenance dose of thiamine- four or five pills day. I mention, I was very, very sick.
Then I dropped to a maintenance B-2, which was one a day, or skip a few days, so one every three days.
Thiamine supplies parts to three separate metabolic pathways. Thiamine, citrulline, pentose blah blah blah. I know there’s a weakness in absorbing or using thiamine, since I have every single effect of every single underpowered metabolic pathway. So I go high on thiamine, even now.
Riboflavin is part of your mitochondria. It is sparingly absorbed in your body. You will take it and pee chrome yellow, if you are most people. Only a small fraction absorbs, but it’s an important small fraction. It affected my hormone levels. So I was less physically comfortable overloading this.
Niacin gets processed in the same part of the liver that processes alcohol, I think? Anyway, if you go overboard, you get that delightfully awful bedspinning hungover, need to vomit now day. When normal people take niacin, within twenty minutes or so they are flushed red and their skin itches. Me? I’ve been sick for a very long time, so usually all that happens is the sides of my feet itch a little bit.
I’ve overloaded twice. I spent one day vomiting, room-spinning, watching black and white movies and just generally being miserable. I woke up the next day with no wrinkles, no pimples, no breakouts and I could see ten to fifteen feet across the room, clearly. I’m nearsighted. I can see about six to eight inches in front of my face without glasses. It was actually really hard to walk around for a few days because I couldn’t judge where things were, everything was too vivid and textured, and it was just way……….toooo………..much.
There’s side minerals. Like, take magnesium with thiamine, for best effect. I’d been taking magnesium for years, since it stops migraines. Like, actually stops up calcium channel pores. I also messed up my teeth doing this without Vitamin D. When I started vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin K, on one hand, my teeth were fabulous, and it felt incredibly awesome just breathing- angels wings wafting air in and out of me- and my bones hurt for one day- they have a fascia wrapping, and adding minerals really fast stretches them- then I was sturdier and my teeth were really, really smooth and felt fat- glossy, healthy, gums felt better, and so on.
I kept working my way down the B vitamins until I hit B-12. It’s candy flavored chewables. I went through, like, a few bottles within a couple of weeks. And it was like all the lights went on. I thought I felt great and healed every step of the way, but going all the way through b-12? It’s like a match versus the fire off a rocket blasting into space.
Granted, that’s also when my brain really started working, and that’s also when I discovered how bad some things were in my life. So healthy is tangled with outside events.
When you are doing this, go with how you feel. You are giving your metabolism and cells tools and parts. Visualize wrenches and socket parts. A drug, in general, is a built machine. It’s going in and smashing the somewhat broken machine. Imagine installing an engine block without taking out the broken engine. So it doesn’t have to be the ‘right amount.’ It is smashing your personal machinery. Your personal machinery wants you to be healthy. It wants the tools to build your personal machines correctly. So, it communicates- dreams, feelings, uneasiness, sweating, cravings for healthy if sometimes unusual to you foods. I mean, I crave seaweed every so often. I didn’t grow up eating it. This is where trying things a little bit, so your body has a memory map, is a good idea. Right now, I’m pretty careless, mostly because I can be. I’ll navigate by mood and craving.
Also, it is summer time. You can spend more time on B-2, riboflavin. When you go out into the sun, riboflavin in your skin and bloodstream gets lit up and makes “novel compounds.” Modern scientists, today, 2021, write papers about “novel compounds.” They don’t know what they are, or what all of them are, they just know it’s B-2+sunlight derived “novel compounds” that affect blood pressure, atherosclerosis, brain health, skin health, and so on.
The links for these would be Phoenix Rising for thiamine. I think they also do general healthmaxing. Search for specific vitamins- number and name. There’s usually a bulletin board. People who get sick with subclinical stuff are usually grown up, know tech, and have time because they are under-employed. Also, that metabolism chart and beginners level on biochem is pretty general knowledge in some places? So, people put up the metabolic pathways chart, and then start experimenting, and then they write up their experiments. Like, there’s four isomers of B-12. (Eat liver to get all four) One guy needed all four. There’s other sites with health professionals getting excited about one thing- thiamine, magnesium, and so on. I mean, Reddit has chemical experimenters. Some of them are pre-med, so they aren’t really sick, but they can explain how stuff works.
Amazon has reviews for its pills. It’s worth reading the reviews for the cheapest- usually the most ill, most aged, most female- then the more expensive specialty ones- better educated, probably more physically fit, skews male- to get a sense of how something works.
Woman’s World, a checkout stand magazine, and First for Women, also a cheap checkout stand magazine, will have these articles about one woman running low on a vitamin or mineral and how she felt, how she diagnosed it, and what steps she took to get healthy. It is easier to comprehend a personal story than a general, vague checklist of possibilities. My father buys it for the food recipes. He finds it embarrassing to have a “secretary magazine” out on the table at his very upscale, very posh house.
THANKS!
