"democracies ... in the last analysis, are only Fascist in disguise." ~ Emma Goldman

[Clocknspiel 🌺 @Clocknspiel]

Agree with the sentiment; and Kleist and Schopenhauer are reasonable paraphrases/summaries.

But for future reference, note re Hegel and Whitehead:

The closest Hegel comes to  "Whoever does not understand Kant does not understand philosophy” is: “I may mention that I take frequent notice in this work of the Kantian philosophy… because this philosophy constitutes the base and starting-point of later German Philosophy”. (Preface to the second edition of the Science of Logic)

Whitehead: “The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.” (Process and Reality, p. 39)

Kant on complaints about his own writing, from the Preface to the Prolegomena:

“It will be misjudged because it is misunderstood, and misunderstood because men choose to skim through the book, and not to think through it—a disagreeable task, because the work is dry, obscure, opposed to all ordinary notions, and moreover long-winded. I confess, however, I did not expect to hear from philosophers complaints of want of popularity, entertainment, and facility, when the existence of a highly prized and indispensable cognition is at stake, which cannot be established otherwise than by the strictest rules of methodic precision. Popularity may follow, but is inadmissible at the beginning.

Yet as regards a certain obscurity, arising partly from the diffuseness of the plan, owing to which the principal points of the investigation are easily lost sight of, the complaint is just, and I intend to remove it by the present Prolegomena.”

[Clocknspiel 🌺 @Clocknspiel]

@noon_ta_noeta Maybe see Prolegomena, which Kant wrote as a clearer, shorter intro to the same ideas (where Kant even jokes about his impenetrable writing in his more formal work) https://t.co/Kh9zvceX6D

The Senate functioned perfectly fine for 146 years without a Parliamentarian.

The office wasn’t created by the Constitution. It wasn’t created by federal statute. Democrats created it in 1935 because they needed help sifting through thousands of archaic Senate rules and precedents that they could use to massively expand the federal government with New Deal legislation.

There is zero mention of a Senate Parliamentarian anywhere in the Constitution.

There is no law requiring the office to exist.

The Parliamentarian has no independent authority. It is not a statutory office. The role is purely advisory. The Senate can ignore the advice, or abolish the office entirely in a second.

There is nothing sacred about the position. It was a political tool created by Democrats to further FDR’s agenda.

Cucked Republicans have unnecessarily kept the illegitimate office alive to help Democrats.

Governments delete webpages. Agencies scrub reports. Politicians' statements vanish from official sites the week they become inconvenient.

It happens in every country, under every party, and it works because nobody kept a copy.

ArchiveBox makes keeping a copy trivial.

It's a self-hosted archiver built for exactly this. Point it at the pages that matter and it freezes them:

→ Timestamped screenshots and PDFs
→ Raw HTML and HTTP headers
→ WARC files that replay the page as it was
→ Scheduled re-captures, so you have a record of every version over time

Run it on a schedule against government portals, news sites, or any source you expect to change quietly. Each snapshot lands in a plain folder with JSON metadata.

The Wayback Machine can't watch everything, and it can be pressured, sued, or blocked.

A thousand people each archiving what they care about cannot be.

History gets rewritten by whoever controls the record. This puts a copy of the record on your disk.

Catherine Austin Fitts on how psychopaths are able to run the world

"people who have no empathy are really good at... organizing for self-benefit"

"[So] you have... 3 to 5% sort of psychopath[s] [at the top], [and then] 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them"

"then you have the other 60 to 70% [of the population] who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing, drives them crazy. And they become neurotic"

This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from a discussion with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on June 3, 2026.

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

"There's a wonderful book called Political Ponerology. Have you ever read it? Okay, so, the, the description of the book is as follows. It was a psychologist who had been a young man during Hitler in Poland. And after the war then Stalin came in and he was at university and he and a group of colleagues decided, you know, because they'd been so traumatized by all this tyranny, they said, we're going to study the intersection of psychopathy with politics.

"And that's ponerology, the study of psychopathy mixed— And here's what they— And they wrote the book, he said, three times, tried to get it out from behind the Iron Curtain and then, failed, had to destroy it. And then when he finally got out after '89, he wrote it from memory.

"And here's what it said. And what he said was that most people are born with empathy and they can't fathom not only that other people don't have empathy, but that the people who have no empathy are really good at getting together and organizing for self-benefit.

"So the people with no empathy are much more effective at conspiracies than the people with empathy. Okay?

"So anyway, what he said was about 20 to 25% of the population who are competent at running things are willing to work for the people who don't have empathy as long as they get paid well.

"And if you look at the history of America, the way we've gotten here is a lot of people got paid a lot of money, whether with their stocks and bonds or whether their job helping the people who have no empathy do all the evil doing.

"I mean, you know that because if you look at what's going on in medicine, you can see it clearly.

"So what happens is you have the 3 to 5% sort of psychopathic, then you have the 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them. And then you have the other 60 to 70% who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing drives them crazy. And they become neurotic.

"They become neurotic about the food, they become neurotic about the healthcare, they become neurotic about programmable money. And until they finally come to understand, you're dealing with psychopathic and you're dealing with people who will help the psychopaths for money.

"And what he said was once people could fathom what was going on, suddenly they started being effective."

@philipaklein And yet changing the philosophy of the planet was the entire purpose.

[David Icke @davidicke]

The level of control is getting insane. 8 billion people controlled down to fine detail by a relative handful because they allow themselves to be divided and thus ruled. Tragic.

[JACL @JACL3475]

It was the entire purpose of it all. The pandemic was blown way out of proportion so everyone would be locked in their houses. They knew no one in the Trump administration would recognize the phased sequencing of events, planned spontaneity. People are still confused about what happened. It’s astonishing.

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

Washington State has passed an obscene law allowing non-citizens including asylum seekers, refugees, and those on temporary protected status to become police officers, firefighters, and prosecutors.

Foreigners should NEVER be granted authority to rule over US Citizens.

Prepare for the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year.

Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and a woman who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used.

Her exact words:
“I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”

Then she turns the knife inward:
“These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’ Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.”

She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.

This isn’t some random podcast bro.

This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying:
“We were the useful idiots.”

[Art @ZarkFiles]

In four years, the Biden administration and their supporters freely destroyed every good thing they could find in our country. They wrecked careers — people fired for saying things the administration disagreed with. They destroyed businesses — locked down by decree. They surrendered our sovereignty — beholden to foreign nations while leaving our own border undefended. They stole everything they could get their hands on — DOGE alone has documented fraud running into the trillions. And they took American lives — literally. Migrant criminals killed Americans whose names are known and whose families are grieving. Fentanyl poured across the open border. Lockdowns and mandates killed others whose deaths will never be officially counted.
The magnitude and breadth of these crimes extends well beyond what our sedition laws were designed to cover.
This is because those laws never envisioned a successful sedition. Every penalty is based on the mere attempt.
What happens when it succeeds?
This is different from ordinary governmental wrongdoing — even when corrupt.
When a legitimately elected government makes a bad decision, the harm that follows is shared risk. You may not like the policy. You may have voted against it. But you authorized someone to govern, and governance carries risk. That risk is yours to share.
An illegitimate government destroys that consent entirely. And that, if we are to believe the evidence pouring in on the subject, is what we got in 2020.

In that case, the people never authorized officials to act. They never agreed to the risks those unauthorized decisions created. Every harm that flowed from those decisions was imposed on a population that had no say — by people who had no right to impose anything.
That is not a policy disagreement. That is not even negligence. It is the deliberate imposition of unconsented risk on an entire nation by individuals who held power they were never entitled to hold.
In law, unconsented risk that produces harm generates the highest level of liability. There is no comparative fault. No shared responsibility. No "you assumed the risk." The people assumed nothing — because they were never asked.
Sovereign immunity protects the office, not the person.
The moment someone holds power they were never entitled to hold, they lose all protection. What remains is a private individual — fully exposed, no immunity.
The full responsibility for everything they or their conspirators did lands on them personally.
Under conspiracy law, co-conspirators are jointly and severally liable for the foreseeable consequences of their conspiracy. This means you cannot apportion blame. You cannot say one person is responsible for 2% of the harm and another for 3%. Every member of the conspiracy is personally liable for 100% of the harm the conspiracy produced.
Every career destroyed. Every business wrecked. Every dollar fraudulently spent. Every American killed.
Each conspirator owns all of it. Individually. Without limit.
This is no longer in the territory of sedition law's 20-year maximum. This is in the territory of treason and murder — and that is not a coincidence. Treason law, unlike sedition law, was written with successful seizure of governmental power in mind. Its penalties reflect what it actually means to take a country and use it against its own people.
The penalty for what was done to the American people — and to individuals like Tina Peters, whose harms continue to compound — is simply everything. Every penalty ever imagined, because they committed every crime imaginable against more people than have ever suffered so outside of a shooting war.
Fraud vitiates everything, and sedition makes every crime, including fraud, possible. There are individuals responsible for this, and they are responsible for all of it, not just the seditious conspiracy, but everything from lockdown deaths and migrant murders to the shuttered mom and pop shops across the country, doctors and lawyers who lost their license to practice, and every other harm. They never agreed to the risk. There was no informed consent.

HERE WE GO 🚨 California Democrats are making a move to rig the Governor’s race

Democrats are putting forth a new ballot initiative to repeal the “Top 2” candidate rule that takes the 2 leading candidates, because the 2 leading candidates are Republicans

“A new ballot initiative has been filed to repeal the state's top-two primary and return it to a party-based primary where voters like you would only vote for candidates in your own registered party”

The man behind this is Steve Maviglio, he's the former communications director for Governor Gray Davis

He's not some random nobody. Steve Maviglio a longtime Democratic insider, he’s a top Democrat operative

He filed paperwork with the state to change the rules of the game now that Democrats are losing

Keep in mind, this “Top 2” system is the same system that locked out Republicans for 15 years

But now that it’s going to lock Democrats out they’re turning to their rigged elections to maintain power and change the rules
