I like this new US military strategy where we don't tell the mainstream media or corrupt politicians about our plans until they've already been carried out successfully so that they can't run and leak info to our enemies in advance like the traitors that they are.

@ScottPresler You can’t do it all, Scott. You’re already doing more than enough. Whatever pace you can sustainably keep up will still be beyond impactful.
“What we are really talking about here, all this attempt to control, we’re talking about western attitudes that are 500 years old. They began at the time when Florence, Italy was the most important city in the world. The basic idea of science - that there was a new way to look at reality, that it was objective, that it did not depend on your beliefs or your nationality, that it was rational, that idea was fresh and exciting back then. It offered promise and hope for the future, and it swept away the old medieval system, which was hundreds of years old. The medieval world of feudal politics and religious dogma and hateful superstitions fell before science. But in truth this was because the medieval world didn’t really work anymore. It didn’t work economically, it didn’t work intellectually, and it didn’t fit the new world that was emerging. But now, SCIENCE is the belief system that is hundreds of years old, and like the medieval system before it, science is starting not to fit the world anymore. Science has attained so much power that its practical limits begin to be apparent. Largely through science, billions of us live in one small world, densely packed and intercommunicating. But science cannot help us decide what to do with that world, or how to live. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it cannot tell us NOT to build it. Science can make pesticide, but cannot tell us NOT to use it. Our world starts to seem polluted in fundamental ways - air, and water, and land, because of ungovernable science. This much is obvious to anyone. At the same time, the great intellectual justification of science has vanished. Ever since Newton and Descartes, science has explicitly offered us the vision of total control. Science has claimed the power to eventually control everything through its understanding of natural laws. But in the twentieth century, that claim has been shattered beyond repair. First, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle set limits on what we could know about the subatomic world. Oh well, we say, none of us lives in the subatomic world. It doesn’t make any practical difference as we go through our lives. Then, Godel’s Theorum set similar limits to mathematics, the formal language of science. Mathematicians used to think that their language had some special inherent trueness that was derived from their use of logic. Now we know that what we call reason is just an arbitrary game. It’s not special in the way we thought it was. And now, Chaos Theory proves that unpredictability is built into our daily lives. It is as mundane as the rainstorm we cannot predict. And so, the grand vision of science, hundreds of years old, the dream of total control, has died, in our century, and with it, much of the justification, the rationale for science to do what it does, and for us to listen to it. Science has always said that it may not know everything now, but it will know eventually. But now we see that isn’t true. It is an idle boast. It is as foolish and misguided as a child that jumps off a building because he believes he can fly. We are witnessing the end of the scientific era. Science, like other outmoded systems, is destroying itself. As it gains in power it proves itself incapable of handling the power, because things are going very fast now. Fifty years ago everyone was gaga over the atomic bomb. That was power. No one could imagine anything more. Yet a bare decade after the bomb, we began to have GENETIC power, and genetic power is FAR more potent than atomic power, and it will be in everyone’s hands. It will be in kits for backyard gardeners, experiments for school children, cheap labs for terrorists and dictators, and that will force everyone to ask the same question - what should I do with my power? Which is the very question science CANNOT answer. What will happen? A change. But all major changes are like death - you can’t see the other side until you’re there.” - Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton - 1990)
At this point, we see so much of this so clearly. Much more clearly than they realize. So clearly, in fact, that we simply use common sense and their own publicly available information, quotes, and documents, to prove any multitude of long-held “conspiratorial” conclusions beyond a shadow of a doubt. Beyond a reasonable doubt. There’s no need for speculation. Based on statistical probabilities alone, most of these things, using only the agreed upon main-stream FACTS, are impossible as they tell them. A parallel society, which has always been the case, is a tale as old as time, but they have no leg left to stand on anymore.
The “16% mortgage rate” argument is a textbook example of historical distortion through omission. Let’s break the illusion:
Yes, rates were 16% in 1981 - for a few quarters.
But the median home price was $70K.
And median income was about $21K.
That’s a 3.3x price-to-income ratio, even at peak rates.
Today? Median home price is ~$430K. Median income ~$60K.
That’s 7.2x price-to-income - more than double the burden.
Even with lower interest rates today,
the actual monthly cost of housing is higher, and the duration of debt slavery is longer.
And that’s before we account for:
•No student debt in 1981
•Single-income households buying homes
•Employer-provided pensions
•Healthcare tied to stable employment
•No gig economy, no $1,200 rent for a 300 sq ft box
Now let’s address Vietnam. Yes, war is horrific. But here’s the trap:
Using selective trauma to deny systemic decay is a diversion tactic.
You can’t compare mandatory conscription with
an entire generation locked out of asset ownership forever.
This isn’t about “who had it worse”
It’s about who inherited a functioning system
and who inherited a collapsing simulation.
Stop pretending the current generation is soft.
They’re resilient inside a rigged structure
where every ladder has been pulled up
and every escape hatch monetized.
You want honesty? Here it is:
Past generations struggled to survive.
Ours struggles to belong in a world they no longer own.
That’s the difference. And that’s the whole point.
We’ve reached, and likely far exceeded, the limits of management at scale. It has failed completely. Drastically reduce administrative scope and scale. Allow local stakeholders and market forces to allocate capital and solve these litany compounding issues at a regional/state/local level. This is the way.
