The UN Must Go!
By Moshe Phillips

*** begin quote ***

The world’s democracies, which provide the lion’s share of the UN’s funding — especially the United States — find themselves routinely outvoted by blocs of authoritarian regimes that use their membership not to promote peace or justice, but to shield each other from accountability. The result is an institution that rewards the corrupt, legitimizes the violent, and sidelines the nations that actually uphold the values the UN was meant to defend. And it is American taxpayers who foot the largest share of the bill for this failure. Each year, billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars flow into UN programs and peacekeeping missions that produce little peace and even less accountability.

*** and ***

It is time to admit what has long been obvious: the United Nations is no longer the solution. It is part of the problem. And the UN, like the League before it, belongs in the dustbin of history.

*** end quote ***

And the US can’t afford the luxury of it any more.  As with most Gooferment creations, it too is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

Atrocities by UN “peacekeepers”, the WHO that has been captured by liberals and Big Pharma, Ukrainian corruption with US bio labs, the inability to stop or even condemn genocides, the rampant expansion of NATO to threaten Russia, and on and on and on.

“When in a hole, stop digging!” — old Wall Street maxim

It might be a small irritant, but the behavior in NYC of UN “diplomats” denotes an attitude of entitlement as opposed to serious people as guest in another nation.

While clearly “might makes right” with respect to who is seated in the UN, like China versus Taiwan, we don’t have to provide “free parking” for tyrants, dictators, and criminals just because they seize power.

It’s time for the USA to call a halt to the “kabuki theater” that the UN has become and stop paying for its abuses.

The world would be better off if there was no “United Nations” to interfere with peace.

POLITICAL: If the data exonerated the program, it would be published immediately

UK Government Wins 2-Year Battle to Withhold Data Linking COVID Vaccines to Excess Deaths

  • Under a ruling last week by the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK Health Security Agency is not required to publicly release data that could link COVID-19 vaccines to excess deaths. The ruling, which ended a two-year battle over the data, has led to accusations of a “cover-up,” according to The Telegraph, which first reported the story.

by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
November 17, 2025

*** begin quote ***

British health freedom activist and podcaster Dan Astin-Gregory, a member of MEHA’s steering committee, said that if “the data exonerated the program, it would be published immediately. The refusal alone shows that transparency has been traded for institutional self-preservation. Families who have lost loved ones deserve honesty, not secrecy.”

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but any and every Gooferment should have no secrets.  

“Secrecy begets tyranny.” —Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

The fact that the UK Gooferment is concealing the “bad news” just means that the US Gooferments will do the same thing.

“The state is a gang of thieves writ large.” — Murray Rothbard

And, this just proves it.

APPLE: “Family” security doesn’t work

Thursday, November 27, 2025

RECENTLY, my problems with “DOWNTIME” for  youth account have resumed.

It started with:

  • A real child id account with picture
  • A “ghost” child id account without picture
  • An adult id that was duplicated.

Turned on, the child’s account limits and those limits were applied to my iPhone.

Argh!

— more coming —  

In attempting to “fix” the problem(s):

  • Had to wipe the iPhone to get rid of the “account limits”.
  • The restore from iCloud backup never would complete and after three tries just wiped the iphone
  • Restarting basically from a blank slate, WALLET didn’t restore or recover my passport or credit cars. Argh!
  • Also, all the apps had to be reinstalled with lost “history”
  • Every setting seemed to need a reset. Argh!

— more coming —

Pareidolia is the term for seeing a familiar pattern in a random or ambiguous visual stimulus, like seeing faces on toast or a potato chip that looks like Darth Vader.

*** end quote ***

 
pareidolia /păr″ī-dō′lē-ə/nounThe perception of a recognizable image or meaningful pattern where none exists or is intended, as the perception of a face in the surface features of the moon.The tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as interpreting marks on Mars as canals, seeing shapes in clouds, or hearing hidden messages in music.The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik

Wow, never knew there was a word for this (what I’d call) human failing.
 
Like the tulip craze, human sometimes “hallucinate” just like AI.   Also like “pink elephants”, humans can imagine things that don’t exist.  Some times that’s a fatal flaw (i.e., a mirage in the dessert; an honest politician; jumbo shrimp).

POLITICAL: Mortgage Fraud Cannot Be Tolerated

Wednesday, November 26, 2025

The Primary-Residence Scam: Here’s Why James, Schiff, Cook, and Swalwell’s Mortgage Fraud Cannot Be Tolerated
by Joel Gilbert Nov. 17, 2025 8:00 am

*** begin quote ***

Allowing lies about occupancy hides this elevated risk.

How about down payments? Primary residences may require as little as 3-5% down, while second properties are often 20-25% higher.

When someone misrepresents a second home or investment property as their primary residence, they distort the lender’s assessment of risk.

The bank thinks they are issuing a safer loan than they actually are. In reality, they are being exposed to the elevated risks associated with investment properties including higher vacancy rates, greater likelihood of strategic default, and more volatile cash flows.

If this deception is tolerated, the pricing model for mortgages collapses. The lender cannot correctly measure risk, and without accurate risk assessments, the cost of lending rises for everyone.

Make no mistake, primary-residence fraud is theft. Lying about primary residence constitutes mortgage fraud, a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1014. Penalties may include federal felony charges, up to 30 years in prison, fines up to $1 million, and civil liability, including treble damages.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I feel little sympathy for politicians and bureaucrats who commit mortgage fraud.  As someone, who has had multiple homes and multiple mortgages, I ALWAYS played by the rules.  And, suffered bigger down payments, higher interest rates, and more expensive insurance rates.  I think the legal distinction between: domicile, primary residence, other residences, multiple homes, and “vacation” homes as arbitrary and confusing.  (I also object to paying property taxes on a home where I can not vote how money is spent, but I can sure pay those taxes from which money is spent.)

The politicians and bureaucrats, who are always in the top tier of wealth, should be held to a standard like Caesar’s wife.  And, when they fall afoul of the laws they created, they should be judged and punished harshly.  

Equality under the law for everyone; not just us “little people”!

That goes for insider trading too!

RANT: Liberal white women voters stats show they voted for Islamic politicians?

Maybe MEMEs are the best way to communicate with “We, The Sheeple”?

It’s hard to get them to focus.

We have concrete examples —  North and South Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, London, Paris, and … …

… … the best of all Poland and Hungary.

So sad that th USA experiment in self-governance lasted for 250 years only to fall to the corrupt “two UNI-party system” that the Dead Old White Guys tried to prevent.

I’m a fat old white guy injineer and I focus on solutions; not idle bitching.

Here’s my formula to claw out of this hole:

  • Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment (Direct election of Senators) and return it to the various State Legislatures.
  • Repeal the Sixteenth Amendment (Income tax) and fund the the Federal Gooferment with a population based assessment on the individual States.
  • Repeal all laws the Federal Gooferment has as they pertain to individual citizens.
  • Return the “immigration function” to the individual States.
  • Enact Buffet’s 3% solution on the House of Representatives (3% deficit makes all sitting member of the House ineligible for reelection).
  • Transition back to a gold back currency.  Transition to End The Fed!
  • Size limits on all “corporations” (No more too big to fail —  too big to fail is too big to exist).
  •  All corporate compensation that exceeds the President’s salary must be in the form of corporate bonds laddered over 25 years (No executive rape and pillage companies into insolvency).

I think that’s a good start to returning to the Dead Old White Guys’ vision of the Federal Republic.

HEALTHCARE: Do you know your type?

Monday, November 24, 2025

The magic of the world’s rarest blood type
Jasmin Fox-Skelly
<>

*** begin quote ***

Only one in every six million people have the Rh null blood type. Now researchers are trying to grow it in the laboratory in the hope it could save lives.

Blood transfusions have transformed modern medicine. If we are ever unlucky enough to be injured or need serious surgery, blood that has been donated by others can be life-saving.

But not everyone is able to benefit from this remarkable procedure. People with rare blood types struggle to find donated blood that will match their own.

One of the rarest – the Rh null blood type – is found in just 50 known people in the world. Should they ever be in an accident that needs a transfusion, their chances of getting one are slim. Those with Rh null are instead encouraged to freeze their own blood for long-term storage.

*** end quote ***

Thanks to the USAF, “APOS” might as well be tattooed on my fore head. Laugh!

Seriously, due to my now sainted wife’s terminal illness, I have donated a lot of blood and platelets.

In ingineering skrule, Brother Austin Barry would always give us time off from lab work to donate blood. His rationale was that we were too dumb to do anything useful in the lab and he would not have to worry that we were killing our selves of others in the lab. (He accidentally electrocuted himself in the lab one year, but it didn’t shock him back to sanity.)

The tin foil hat brigade has (imho rightly) pointed out that the RNA covid “vaccine” (that revised the definition of vaccine) has many side effects. They urge the unvaxed to store their own blood and the rest of us should insist on unvaxed blood for transfusions. (IMHO if I need a transfusion, I think the RNA fragments are the least of my worries!)

*** begin quote ***

First, there are currently 47 known blood groups and 366 different antigens, as of October 2024. That means that a person receiving an O negative donation could still have an immune reaction to any of the other antigens present – although some antigens provoke more of an immune response than others.

*** end quote ***

Learning that there are so many blood groups and antigens has alerted me to inquire what my loved one’s blood characteristics are. The article warns that you may not find out that you are one of the “unlucky winners” of an “immune response”. It would seem that everyone should get this information!

This story has a very happy ending. It appears that several groups of companies and scientists are hot on the quest for a universal donor “golden” Rh null blood type artificial blood. That would obviate the need for blood which always seems to be in short or near short supply.

Until that day comes, I urge everyone to donate. I’m too old now and they don’t want “old” blood, but I would if I could. Argh!

RANT: Border Czar Tom Homan Delivers a Perfect Response

WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Delivers a Perfect Response After Catholic Bishops Blast Trump Admin for Carrying Out Mass Deportations of Illegal Aliens
by Cullen Linebarger Nov. 15, 2025 7:30 am

*** begin quote ***

As The New York Times reported, the United States’ Conference of Bishops sharply rebuked the Trump Administration over its mass deportation policy of illegals during the bishops’ annual conference in Baltimore.

In a statement, the bishops slammed the Trump Administration for creating “a climate of fear,” vilifying illegals, and not granting lawbreakers access to pastoral care.

*** end quote ***

Funny, I don’t remember them criticizing the Biden Administration for “cages”, or human trafficking.  Or, when Obama deported people.

Perhaps, because there was a financial incentive to the Catholic Church to “resettle” immigrants, their opinion was swayed?

Tom Homan reacts to Catholic Bishops on immigration: “I’m saying it not only as the Border Czar, I’ll say it as a Catholic, I think they need to spend time fixing the Catholic Church.”

Yup, spot on!

VOCABULARY: Mandela effect — A shared false memory.

Saturday, November 22, 2025

Why does this harmless emoji make ChatGPT lose its mind?
By Amir Bohlooli

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-11-15>>

*** begin quote ***

Despite all that, the emoji never existed. This is the Mandela effect. A shared false memory. The term came from researcher Fiona Broome, who clearly remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s — only to realize Mandela became president and died in 2013. She could even recall the funeral coverage. When she found many others with the same false memory, the term “Mandela effect” was born.

*** end quote ***

I wonder how much of “history” is nothing more than a “shared false memory”.  And, if written “history” is a false memory, then what is oral “history” passed down through generations?

So it sounds like that JoHari window quadrant IV (i.e., what we both can’t see) is suddenly HUGE!

Now with “AI”, whatever that is, with its “hallucinations” and fake video creations, make even more “evidence” unreliable. The legal system has proven that “eyewitness” testimony is very fallible.  And, even forensic “evidence” has to be suspect.

What can we “know” or “believe”?

*** begin quote ***

Why does the Mandela Effect happen?

Arlin Cuncic, a psychologist and author based in Canada, said the Mandela Effect is ‘unreliable and not infallible’.

She points to a memory error called confabulation – where the brain fills in gaps that are missing in your memories to make more sense of them.

Another factor is the information we subsequently learn can change our memory of the original event.

‘This includes event subtle information and helps to explain why eyewitness testimony can be unreliable,’ she said in a piece for Verywell Mind.

Also, the role of the internet in ‘influencing the memories of the masses should not be underestimated’.

‘It’s probably no coincidence that consideration of the Mandela effect has grown in this digital age,’ Cuncic said.

Another theory for the basis for the Mandela effect relates to the idea that rather than one timeline of events, alternate realities or universes may be taking place and mixing with our timeline.

This far-fetched idea continues to gain traction among online Mandela effect communities but is closer to the realm of science fiction.
