Time to Become a Hindu by Jeff Thomas

*** begin quote ***

For centuries, East Indians have regarded gold as the primary source of wealth. All Indians own gold if they can afford to. They keep it as close as possible, sometimes in coin form, but often as jewellery, since “wearing wealth” means that it can be kept very close. They’re often especially reluctant to trust banks to hold their gold.

Hindus make up 80% of India’s population and, to Hindus, gold is sacred. Lakshmi (pictured above) is the Hindu goddess of purity, prosperity and good fortune. Her symbol is gold, so gold plays an important part in Hindu ceremonial occasions and Hindus donate large amounts of gold to the temples in Lakshmi’s name.

In recent years, the Indian government has tried one ploy after another to gain control of the temples’ gold. The most recent ploy was a programme whereby the temples could deposit the parishioners’ gifts to Lakshmi in banks. The gold would then be melted down and the temples would be given cash in an amount that would exceed the value of the gold.

*** and ***

As every Indian – even those of limited means – understands, the greatest protection from such looting by governments is to liquidate assets and convert the proceeds into precious metals.

It’s unlikely that the average westerner will become a Hindu, but, if he’s wise, he’ll acquire his own personal Lakshmi in the form of precious metals storage and he’ll do so outside of his home jurisdiction, in order to have even greater insurance against confiscation.

FDR’s diktat robbed Americans of their gold and their freedom at the same time.  Time to take both back!

VOCABULARY: ‘Enshittification’ — the slow decay

Tuesday, July 2, 2024

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?
Cory Doctorow  — February 8 2024

*** begin quote ***

Last year, I coined the term “enshittification” to describe the way that platforms decay. That obscene little word did big numbers; it really hit the zeitgeist.

The American Dialect Society made it its Word of the Year for 2023 (which, I suppose, means that now I’m definitely getting a poop emoji on my tombstone).

So what’s enshittification and why did it catch fire? It’s my theory explaining how the internet was colonised by platforms, why all those platforms are degrading so quickly and thoroughly, why it matters and what we can do about it. We’re all living through a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit. It’s frustrating. It’s demoralising. It’s even terrifying.

I think that the enshittification framework goes a long way to explaining it, moving us out of the mysterious realm of the “great forces of history”, and into the material world of specific decisions made by real people; decisions we can reverse and people whose names and pitchfork sizes we can learn.

Enshittification names the problem and proposes a solution. It’s not just a way to say “things are getting worse”, though, of course, it’s fine with me if you want to use it that way.

AKA ENTROPY?

Just as things like uranium moves to lead, so to do all human systems.

Decay and death.

Sigh!

POLITICAL: Who Is Running Our Country?

WAYNE ROOT: The Important Question Isn’t “Who is Replacing Biden?” The Life & Death Question We Should All Be Asking Is, “Who Is Running Our Country?”

by Assistant Editor Jul. 1, 2024 8:30 am

*** begin quote ***

First and foremost, “Who is running the country?”

That’s the question of the century. We now know it isn’t Joe Biden. It was never Joe. So, who is minding the store? Who has run the country for the past four years? Who is running the country right now? Who is making life and death decisions that affect the lives of every American?

Who is running our economy? Who is protecting our Homeland? Who is commanding our military? Who makes decisions about WW3? What if Russia or China attack tomorrow? Who is in charge?

Who has their finger on the nuclear button? Who will respond to a terrorist attack?

Who made the decision to leave our border wide open, and welcome in tens of millions of illegal alien foreign invaders? Who benefits from that decision?

Who decided to persecute Trump and rig trials against him?

Who made the decision to use the DOJ and FBI to persecute the J6ers and torture them in prison?

Who made the decision to force-vaccinate every employee in America through the OSHA mandate? Has Big Pharma bribed the whole government? Does Big Pharma run the FDA and CDC?

And if my prediction has been right from day one…and it’s always been Barack Obama giving the orders, making the decisions, and running the country as the de facto President of the United States…

We have an unelected, unConstitutional, “Manchurian Candidate” running America. 

*** end quote ***

I agree that this is the MOST important question!

We know that Woodrow Wilson and FDR were infirm at the end of their terms and that wives were running things or were at least thought to be running things.

Time for a Constitution amendment establishing an upper age limit for politicians and bureaucrats.  

I’d suggest that it’s the Social Security full-benefits retirement age!  In addition to term-limits for every elective office.

Argh!

EVLYNN: Had a money management rule for the casino

Time to Leave the Casino?
22 June 2024
By Jerry Stickman

*** begin quote ***

Over the years, there have been different versions of “man on the street” interviews. Typically, someone would ask a random person on the street a general question. This was done to get a feeling for what the general public felt about a topic.

I tried this in a few local casinos. Curious about what the average casino gambler felt about different aspects of casino gambling, I took the questions directly to them. I asked each of the gamblers several questions. This article covers the second question I asked them on the casino floor.

The question this time was “When is it time for you to quit gambling and leave the casino?”

*** end quote ***

Other than one time, she never went “broke”; that was the second time we went.  After that she developed her “envelope system”.  The same one she used for household expense just translated to gambling.  After that disastrous trip, where we ran out by Tuesday, got a refill, and by leaving time on Saturday we were able replace the fill and was substantially ahead, it was time for a better system.  She loved to gamble but hated to lose.

After that “lesson”, she would divide the gambling money into three envelopes per day  — morning, afternoon, and night.  If we tapped out during a session, that was it and we went and did something else.  Otherwise, we’d put what was left back in the envelope and go to the next envelope.  The morning we were leaving, she’s consolidate all the envelopes, return the original stake to an envelope for the next trip, and split the winnings.  She was usually always very lucky; me not so much.  

When people asked her why she continued to split with her “loser” spouse, she would always quickly reply: “I know the day I stop splitting, he’ll his the lottery for millions.”

I never did hit anything big, but she never stopped splitting.

Miss those good trips every time I see a casino advertisement.

POTS — formally known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome — is when your heart rate increases quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

It’s a chronic disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system and blood circulation and could lead to tremors, nausea, and fainting.

Isn’t that a side effect of the Covid jab?

No information as to the young lady’s vax status.

So sorry for the trouble her Mom and she are enduring.

GOLD: Time to become a gold bug — just like a good Hindu should

Hiker found alive after 10 days lost in California mountains reveals how he survived

A shirtless hiker who went missing in remote California mountains has been found alive after 10 days after he vanished – saying he surviving drinking water from his boot and eating wild berries.  
 
Lukas McClish, 34, didn’t tell anyone where he was going when he set off on a three-hour walk through the Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Boulder Creek on June 11.
 
He planned to visit some rare granite outcroppings in the area.
 
*** end quote ***
 
​An “experienced hiker”? 
 
Maybe a lucky fool who overestimated his skills.  Going on a hike without telling anyone where and no supplies?
 
</sarcasm> … Hell, I won’t go to the local McDonalds without telling someone where I’m going. .. <sarcasm/>
 
Seriously, I really wonder about people’s intelligence level and sanity.When I was in USAF survival school, we were taught to “plan to be lost”.  And we were in a national forest in Idaho.  And, you can really feel “lost” in a forest and disoriented very quickly.  A proper compass, topological map, and proper “survival” kit is essential for a good outcome.
 
Never mind that he was unarmed in cougar country.  
 
And, btw, who pays for his rescue?  It would seem that the Big Basin Redwoods State Park would see “rescue insurance” to everyone to defray the cost of reducing the unprepared.
 
Argh!

DISCOURAGING: Christianity died by its own flaw

The Future of Christianity
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, June 21, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Will it help save white people?

Christianity is dying in the West. The religion that, for centuries, defined Europeans is increasingly becoming a Third-World religion. What does this mean for white people?

This is the article got me wondering: “Hundreds of Scottish churches up for sale as UK turns away from Christianity.”

*** end quote ***

It was killed by its own hand — pedophilia priests.  And the Secular Progressive Gooferment used that to force “christianity” to accept all sorts of perversion.  People didn’t leave the Church; the “Church” left the people.  When the Church failed to fight Gooferment Skrules, it basically gave up the future.  Instead of insisting that Gooferment had no role in “education” uncovering the real reason for its interest  — Gooferment jobs and get the venue to dumb down the future citizens pushing the propaganda that the Gooferment is the “solution” to every problem.  Instead of fighting for religious freedom, the Churches all knuckled under probably blackmailed by the pedophilia charge.

Interesting that we still don’t have Epstein’s Client List that could subject the Gooferment to its own criminal behavior!
