Dana, I think Dr. Farrell told us that it was Thorium not Lithium that is the best component for toothpaste. 🙂

This story has already been told by Walker Percy in his novel The Thanatos Syndrome (1987). It has it all … drugs in the water supply, pedophiles, child molesters, Nazis … who could ask for more? His novel Love in the Ruins (1971) is, more or less, Volume 1 to Thanatos. But you need not have read Love in the Ruins prior to Thanatos. Each…[Read more]

Denonciation through fiction..Even the Nazi’s did that.. Dr Farrel could probably give the name…(I cant remember it..) It was a Nazi sympathizer who wrote about Nazi Artic bases protected by Tesla like death rays..

Hmmmmm. It seems he has at least two different types of causality in mind here. I also wonder whether he would hold that there is an irradicable incalculability (see Max Weber’s discussion of the falling, splintering boulder in, I believe somewhere in the back half of Roscher and Kneis: the logical problems of historical economics) involved in…[Read more]

I only stuck around for an hour or so. I looked at some posters and listened to a couple short lectures about oumuamua. I didn’t ask anyone about Sunspot and no one brought it up.

Well, I did ask Dr. Bus if his telescope rotated on mercury. That was the closest I got to mentioning Sunspot. He said no, but mercury is used for the mirror.

Hmmmmmm. … and how many messages to how many groups? … and exactly what is the desired interpretation of these (alleged) actions? Is some group wanting to provide the perception that America is a nation of van der Lubbes? … and then the “fact” that there are MANY van der Lubbes throughout the nation will require a decree to protect the…[Read more]

It might be interesting to know the contents of the fragments. I seem to recall (possibly a rumor) that at least some of the
content of their previous acquisitions were magical spells. -

To Justawhoaman – I am certainly in agreement with you, if I am understanding your comments correctly, in that Hedges comes across as somewhat self-righteous. That aside, I am curious as to the source of the frustration that you mention. (I find it difficult to communicate in forums such as these without the ability to see body language, hear…[Read more]

I must admit that I have mixed feelings, not only about Hedges, but about most of what I read and hear. To hold practical fallibilism is as it should be. Dr. Farrell often talks about owning the culture. What actions can we actually take toward doing so? In a discussion between CAF and JPF they suggested that we might take it upon ourselves…[Read more]

I agree with you. A practical template for what you suggest might be to apply grammar, logic and rhetoric to many of the statements that are used with abandon these days in the mainstream media.

A talk by Chris Hedges … Corporate Totalitarianism: The End Game (approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes)
… a consideration of our current situation.
-
It helps if you believe that “Global Warming” means the end of humanity and you also believe that socialism works. His arrogance is almost as intolerable as his ignorance but he is absolutely dead on when it comes to corporatism and what it has done to destroy the financial system and the social fabric of our country. I lived through the era of…[Read more]

He also is right about the 26 trillion stolen by corporate manipulation so with the 21 trillion of undocumented adjustments, you can see how CAF is correct in saying there are $50trillion dollars stolen from us. Hedges presents many correct facts but his conclusion to resist is frustrating at the least.

I have mixed feelings on this too. He certainly makes a good point about Durkheim and anomie – we can see the lack of any morality derived from the Transcendent everywhere in the West these days , but I think there’s a deep-seated contradiction in his thinking too. On the one hand he espouses the need – and potency – of mass political action in…[Read more]

It might be time (actually there have been many previous times) to ask (from someone) for an actual argument as to why appropriations continue when (at least in this case) it is glaringly obvious that NO thought is given to taking care of current resources? If one has resources (in this case very costly resources) in a hurricane prone area…[Read more]

An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding … This may seem somewhat picayune but words do make a difference.

Absolutely! See the research (read the introductions and the conclusion sections) of Antonio Damasio. (for popular accounts see his books Looking for Spinoza and The Feeling of What Happens). Also, see a special issue of Scientific American (August 2002) The Hidden Mind. Yet another good resource (possibly more than tangentially related) is…[Read more]

Hmmmmmm. … “The person has not been arrested or charged, and no arrest warrant has been issued, according to the FBI.”
Seems like a GREAT amount of trouble for so little result.-
Surely nowadays EVERYBODY – even “janitors” – know that all web connections, especially in official environments, are tracked in real time. On the other hand, the “news” about the alleged action (nobody charged!) seems just the type to make useless “work” for internet commentators.

True, I hope Colgate doesn’t take up the suggestion! Especially after the exploding lithium batteries in the Muskmobiles.
yup it will give a very unhealthy glow.

if you haven’t listened to “The Byte Show” that is probably one the top 10 episode dealing with Nazis and their mad science projects.
