*** begin quote ***

Several witnesses can be heard saying ‘call the police’, while one states: ‘Rob people and that’s what happens.’

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘Police were called to St Thomas Street, SE1 on 29 September at 15.17hrs to reports of a robbery.

‘It was reported that a woman had her phone stolen by a male who was then detained by members of the public.

‘When officers arrived a short time later, the male and members of the public had left the scene. The phone had been recovered and was back in the woman’s possession.

‘There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue.’

*** end quote ***

I found this interesting in that the public took care of the problem before the police responded.

Hopefully the thief got a few bruises to remind him of the error of his ways.  Glad that none of the “first responders” apparently weren’t injured. 

“When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”

What happens when the thief is willing to use deadly force to steal, rape, or kill?

“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown

I trust honest citizens to be responsible.   And, they can be held accountable.

ECONOMICS: Cryptocurrency — no regulation needed — Caveat Emptor

The SEC’s Reckless Crusade To Crush The Cryptocurrency Market
by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Sep 28, 2022 – 08:20 PM

Authored by Gerard Scimeca via RealClearMarkets.com

*** begin quote ***

The outcome of the SEC case against Ripple is critical in not just establishing a fair and just baseline for the protection of crypto investors, but as a test case in setting boundaries to stop overreach by federal agencies seeking to advance their power at the expense of efficiency. Crypto is popular and growing precisely because of its efficiency, flexibility, and vast utility in financial markets, benefits that can easily be quashed through intrusive and heavy-handed regulation. The ultimate arbiter of these issues is Congress, who must act, and soon, to help establish a clear framework to regulate crypto, and to limit the SEC’s power to occupy spaces where it simply does not belong.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but all the Gooferment ever does is impede progress.

Is an “unregulated” market “dangerous”?

No, let the buyer beware and let the “invisible hand” of the free market quickly and efficiently discipline bad actors.

No bureaucrats required.

VOCABULARY: Murmurations

Saturday, October 8, 2022

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/photographer-captures-mesmerizing-murmurations-2022/?utm_campaign=newsletters&utm_medium=weekly_mailout&utm_source=29-09-2022

What is the purpose of murmuration?

Grouping together offers safety in numbers – predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird in the middle of a hypnotising flock of thousands. They also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas.

“When the early light catches thousands of wings simultaneously, combined with the haunting rustle of countless wingbeats, it is pretty close to avian witchcraft.”

Interesting behavior that humans really don’t understand why.

RANT: Is it time to “license” fact checkers? (Just kidding!)

Friday, October 7, 2022

What Happens When a Fact-Checker Doesn’t Get the Facts Right?
By Chandler Lasch
September 28, 2022

*** begin quote ***

Abrams’ claim that a heartbeat detected at six weeks of pregnancy is nonexistent and “a manufactured sound” is false, as is Kessler’s claim that ultrasound detects electrical activity, not the motion of a heart. For two years, Abrams has urged Americans to “follow the science,” while Kessler has insisted that at his newspaper, “we deal in facts.” Both are laudable goals – and equally applicable to the speaker, as well as their audiences.

*** end quote ***

One would think that the Washington Post would fire any “Fact-Checker” that (a) gets it so wrong; and (b) inserts their own “facts” into the mix.

Argh!

VOCABULARY: Federal Reserve and Debt — interest versus usury?

Thursday, October 6, 2022

https://www.unz.com/mhudson/the-federal-reserve-and-debt/

The Federal Reserve and Debt
Michael Hudson • September 17, 2022 

*** begin quote ***

Well, the question is, why do people go into debt? And there are two kinds of credit. And this goes all the way back to the church theologians in the 14th century. Ancient societies didn’t have any different word for interest and usury. All that was developed to overcome the church’s banning of interest for a 1,000 years, certainly among the clergy. And then the European takeoff began. And after the Crusades it was obvious that some kind of credit was necessary to finance foreign trade. And some people benefited from credit, so the church said, all right, if you’re making a loan, the debtor gains from it, then it’s interest, then its mutual gain. And usury is when the borrower doesn’t really receive a gain but has to pay the interest out of income that they earned elsewhere.

*** end quote ***

Interesting distinction?

So what is our current scenario?  

Taxes are theft. And, they are usury to the extent we don’t benefit from them.

VOCABULARY: new definition of “Democracy” — rule by a self-identified elite, or people endorsed by that elite

Wednesday, October 5, 2022

https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/denew definitimocracymeaning?e=39307912ab

*** begin quote ***

This is how their modern counterparts can say, in all seriousness, that they’re “saving democracy” even when they’re sabotaging officials who won democratic elections. In case it sounds like they’re contradicting themselves, they’re really not. They are democracy. They and their colleagues and cronies and so-called experts are democracy, and the stupid rubes who won’t just bend the knee to them and do as they say are the enemies of democracy.

Have a future in mind that doesn’t involve crippling energy prices, eating bugs, having your kids brainwashed, and watching central banks siphon away your wealth? Why, you may be a danger to “democracy,” citizen.

As Sam Francis wrote back in 2004, “What they mean by ‘democracy’ is nothing more than the system of dominance that came to prevail in the United States and the Western world in the last half of the last century. That system has nothing to do with elections, opposition parties, civil and political rights, or ‘liberty,’ nor does it have anything to do with political theory, ancient or modern. ‘Democracy,’ as the neocons and the President and most others who are enthusiastic about it use the word, means the centralized leviathan state under the firm and unqualified control of the managerial bureaucracy and those political forces able to influence it.”

*** end quote ***

Certainly not the old definition of “democracy” which was basically mob rule.

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: All it takes is one hero to push back — who will it be?

All It Takes Is One Hero
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

No matter how dark things get, all it takes is one hero to push back. Heroes, after all, are not remembered for following the crowd; they emerge because they run in the opposite direction, often into known danger, and spur others to stop, turn around, and act. It is always the lone voice that inspires a people to rise against the injustices of any age. It is the stubborn persistence of the few who marshal real change. It is the resolute among us who peer at the raging inferno without fear. It is the wise who remember that every waterfall begins with just one drop of rain. It is the hopeful who can look around at today’s chaos and see clearly the opportunity for great change.

*** end quote ***

Who will it be?  

Where are our Patrick Henry’s, Nathan Hales’, or John Paul Jones?

Joe Rogan?  Dave Smith?  Michael Malice?

We certainly need one.

How Propagandists Redefined ‘Migrant’ (and got The Media to go along) (Podcast)
Dated: September 21, 2022 by Sharyl Attkisson

A case study in how propagandists redefined the word “migrant” –and got The Media to go along.

I really like how Sharyl Attkisson took apart the whole “scam”.  And, indicted Wikipedia and Dictionary as be “captured” by the Dark Side.

I’ll never contribute to Wikipedia again … ever.

There’s no transcript to quite from but it’s well worth a listen.

Everything is an ASTROTURF!
