RANT: NFL cities versus teams

Monday, September 11, 2017

Watching the “Los Angeles” Chargers!

I guess the cities are disconnected from “their” teams.

Maybe the low ratings are not because of politics but the lack of loyalty to the cities that have “invested” their taxpayers money and the fans that have an emotional connections.

Maybe the “circuses” are losing their appeal to the suckers?

INTERESTING: Voynich manuscript decoded

Saturday, September 9, 2017

MYSTERY SOLVED —The mysterious Voynich manuscript has finally been decoded
History researcher says that it’s a mostly plagiarized guide to women’s health.
ANNALEE NEWITZ – 9/8/2017, 4:10 PM

*** begin quote ***

Since its discovery in 1912, the 15th century Voynich Manuscript has been a mystery and a cult phenomenon. Full of handwriting in an unknown language or code, the book is heavily illustrated with weird pictures of alien plants, naked women, strange objects, and zodiac symbols. Now, history researcher and television writer Nicholas Gibbs appears to have cracked the code, discovering that the book is actually a guide to women’s health that’s mostly plagiarized from other guides of the era.

Gibbs writes in the Times Literary Supplement that he was commissioned by a television network to analyze the Voynich Manuscript three years ago. Because the manuscript has been entirely digitized by Yale’s Beinecke Library, he could see tiny details in each page and pore over them at his leisure. His experience with medieval Latin and familiarity with ancient medical guides allowed him to uncover the first clues.

*** end quote ***

Having had some training in cryptology, I found this interesting and somewhat funny.

I guess no one in 100+ years  ever put together the clues.

Great job by this fellow.

Guess we need an inventory of all the “puzzles” for TV shows to solve for us. Maybe they can solve all our problems.

RANT: Babies aren’t THAT hard

Thursday, September 7, 2017

Why do women think a man can’t handle an infant? Too many TV commercials that show men as fools?

WSJ: Amazon slashing prices on grocery items

Sunday, August 27, 2017

FROM WSJ

The Retail King

Amazon said it would begin slashing prices on grocery items from bananas to baby kale at its new Whole Foods Market unit right away, serving notice that the e-commerce giant plans to move quickly to shake up the supermarket industry with its $13.7 billion acquisition. The announcement Thursday, which sent stocks of traditional grocers into a fresh tailspin, said price changes for staples and more high-end foods would go into effect as soon as the deal closes on Monday. The company also said its Amazon Prime program, which analysts estimate has more than 60 million members, will become Whole Foods’s customer-rewards program. Stocks for six large food retailers, including Kroger and Wal-Mart, lost around $12 billion in value after the announcement. Grocers and investors say they are concerned that Amazon could start a price war.

Aren’t lower prices good for ALL consumers?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Let the “free market” operate; you can’t manipulate people

OPINION REVIEW & OUTLOOK
The Park Service’s Botched Bottle Ban
Obama’s behavioral economists must have been on vacation.
By The Editorial Board
Aug. 24, 2017 7:09 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

Vacationers can now buy bottled water in national parks, after the Trump Administration this month ended an Obama-era policy that sought to reduce plastic waste. Environmentalists responded with predictable outrage, but reversing the ban is healthier and greener.

*** and ***

The teachable moment turns out to be a lesson in the law of unintended consequences.

Appeared in the August 25, 2017, print edition.

*** end quote ***

The “free market” is a slippery thing. It’s like water. It finds its own level.

Argh!

Only Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats think they can “outsmart” the consumer.

INSPIRATIONAL: Can DNA open eyes?

https://www.statnews.com/2017/08/16/white-nationalists-genetic-ancestry-test/

White nationalists in America are flocking to DNA tests. They don’t always like the results.

*** end quote ***

I thought this was a hoot.

It just goes to show you that when folks get a scientific fact they don’t like, they can quibble until they get one they do like.

My question for these … … “interesting individuals” is would you take a transfusion from a black human being to save your life? (You could ask the same question in reverse. My answer is “hell yes” and be eternally grateful to the donor.)

Perhaps, these finding could change some hearts and minds?

TINFOILHAT: Herbert Philbrick and the Kennedy assassination

Sunday, August 20, 2017

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/08/jacob-hornberger/figuring-jfk-murder-coup/

Figuring Out The Kennedy Assassination
By Jacob G. Hornberger
The Future of Freedom Foundation
August 18, 2017

*** begin quote ***

The official story of the Kennedy assassination is that he was killed by a former U.S. Marine, lone-nut, communist assassin named Lee Harvey Oswald.

The big problem, however, is that the official story has never comported with much of the circumstantial evidence in the case nor with common sense, reason, and logic. That’s why no one has ever been able to come up with a credible motive for Oswald to kill Kennedy.

*** and ***

In the 1950s, there was a famous television series called I Led Three Lives, which is based on a book of the same name by a man named Herbert Philbrick. The series revolved around an American man who posed as a communist but who was actually a FBI agent. The man’s job was to infiltrate communist cells that were supposedly operating here in the United States and secretly report their activities to the FBI.

*** and ***

Was Oswald in fact an U.S. intelligence agent whose secret portrayal as a communist was used to frame him for assassinating the president? As I show in my ebook Regime Change: The JFK Assassination, that’s the only thesis by which all the mysteries, anomalies, inconsistencies, and contradictions disappear. It’s the only thesis by which all the pieces of circumstantial evidence fall into place in the Kennedy assassination.

*** end quote ***

I remember watching that “I Led Three Lives”. Very powerful TV propaganda.

Well, why I am not ready to say this theory makes everything problematic disappear, it certainly seem plausible.

I’m too old to think “We, The Sheeple” will ever learn the “truth”.

I’m too cynical to believe the official story.

I’m disgusted that the “facts” haven’t come out.

And, I’m annoyed that “We, The Sheeple” don’t really care.

Sigh! So sad.

This is how the American Experiment dies, from the ignorance and apathy of the citizens.

Trump’s current troubles with a “leaky” and fiercely oppositional bureaucracy is indicative of how much power the Deep State has over the levers of Gooferment.

Argh!

The remedy is secession and break it up.
