The Epstein Thing and Other Things

While most everyone is talking about the Epstein Thing, fewer are talking about the Palantir Thing or the Genius Thing, which may be one of the reasons for the Epstein Thing. As in, it’s another distraction from the important things.

Certainly it is important to know whether there is a high-level blackmail regime that leverages complicity in sex crimes the way the mafia leverages crimes such as murder. In order to become a made man the applicant must first do a piece of work; i.e., kill someone. That way, the mafia knows he can be trusted  . . . not to squeal on the other mobsters.

This Epstein Thing seems to operate on the same basis. A person who wants to become one of the Special People – one of the people who gets inexplicably elevated to high station despite no particular talents – must participate in something grotesque first, which is easy for them to do because most of them roll that way anyhow. Stanley Kubrick gave us normies a window into this in his last movie, Eyes Wide Shut. If you have not seen it, you ought to. It depicts how it probably works.

It also serves more than just one purpose. The titillation of what-might-be-going-on keeps the normies’ attention where they want it to be, which isn’t on other things of more consequence, ultimately, than the hidden-from-sight rights and rituals of the Special People.

Almost everyone knows who Epstein was. How many know what Palantir is? Do you know what the word means? It is taken from Lord of the Rings. It refers to an all-seeing stone used by wizards to know what everyone’s doing. That’s what Trump – or the people controlling Trump – are doing, right now. Palantir is a real-life sorcerer’s stone that is going to be used to see what all of us are doing, so that nothing we do is unknown to the government-corporate thing that long-ago replaced the somewhat-limited government that briefly existed until circa April 1865. That was when the last check on government-corporate power was boot-stomped into the ground at Appomattox. Lincoln was no more free than the country he enslaved, by the way. The man was owned by the railroads and by a kind of precursor to Palantir, the Pinkerton thing. It’s all very depressing but not less true for being so.

Congruent with the greasy slouching toward Bethlehem (or rather, Washington) Palantir thing is the Genius Thing, which is the effort to replace fiat dollars with fiat digits; i.e., electronic money. Both of these things being necessary to each other in the same way that masks were the necessary predicate of the effort to coerce people into getting “vaccinated.” When your money is electronic and your life is, too, the government can control your life by controlling your electronic money. The “coin” you have on the screen of your phone is only as good as the government-corporate thing decides to allow. It will not be like it was when you had real (if fiat) dollars in your actual wallet (here it is interesting to note the use of such terms, associated in the mind of the average person with real/tangible things, with virtual things).

When you have a $100 bill, you can buy things with it that only you and the seller are aware have been bought and sold. But what’s the worry, as regards digital money and digital transactions? Well, what happens when the thing you wish to buy is something the government-corporate thing says you are no longer allowed to buy? Or buy more of? You have used up your allotted meat allowance for the month, citizen. Though you have “coin” enough in your now-digital “wallet” to buy some hamburger, you can’t – because the government-corporate thing has limited your ability to buy more. How about a “high-capacity” magazine – or even the gun, itself? When they have been declared illegal and your only means of buying is digital “coin,” you will no longer be able to buy either off the books, as you can when you have actual coin.

There are those, of course, who do not believe that Trump would ever be the one to push such things and yet that is exactly what he is doing. Just as he pushed REAL ID and didn’t end the endless war in Keeeeeeeeeeeeev, either. If he had run on those things – favor of REAL ID, more aid for Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeev and a surveillance regime enforced via digital money – it is likely Harris would have been the one selected. But that was not the plan and so she wasn’t. She served her purpose as the unpalatable alternative that prompted people to vote for Trump. Trump had to be selected to quiet opposition to what was coming – Palantir, REAL ID and the Genius of government-corporate controlled “coin.” It has worked splendidly.

So has the Epstein Thing.

While most of us are target-fixated on who among the Special People was having fun with Jeff (a thing we’ll never be allowed to know because then we’d know it’s most if not all of them, which is why Trump’s line about the Democrats not exposing him when they were in charge is as silly as wondering why one mobbed-up guy doesn’t expose the other mobbed-up guys) the agenda moves forward. Note that it always moves forward. Maybe a little less, for the moment. But it is never rolled back.

That trend is one we all see yet we all (well, most of us) like to pretend not to see it. Probably because admitting we do see it would bring up the awful truth that we’re going along with it, however much we like to pretend to ourselves we’re not.

  1. John Newton was a captain of slaver ships, delivered the goods.
    He was a carouser, corrupted the morals of others, Had fun having lots of fun. His friend was William Wilberforce, an abolitionist.

    John Newton finally saw the light one day, had an epiphany. He wrote a tune, penned some words, titled it Amazing Grace. Must have been a sweet sound for a wretched wretch like the cad John Newton.

    John Newton, the sailor at sea, was also a pirate. Fell from Grace from the very beginning.

    The rest is history, William Wilberforce’s abolition of slavery campaign produced the abolition of slavery by the British Parliament in 1812.

    ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    and grace my fears relieved;
    how precious did that grace appear
    the hour I first believed!

    Through many dangers, toils and snares
    I have already come:
    ’tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
    and grace will lead me home.
    – Amazing Grace by John Newton

    Another Moment in the Upper Room with the Master.

    • Anyhow, I installed a new 2025 dishwasher today to replace the 1975 hulk that was worn out.

      After about three hours of cussing and swearing, the goal was achieved, the end of the project.

      The dishwasher works, no leaks, no dead shorts, no drain issues, success.

      You are too tired to function, everything stops after that. Plenty of aggravation and frustrating circumstances, you don’t and can’t really give up.

      One solution to solve the problem is all kinds of words that fit every argot. Sasquatch would cower in fear. har

      Beer is the cure.

      • drumpish: “After about three hours of cussing and swearing, the goal was achieved, the end of the project.”

        And you will find it will take about that long to have a load of dishes clean and ready to use. New-and-improved, doncha know?

    • This article did not mention it, but I have read elsewhere that the smart chips in these new appliances can be shut off/on through the smart metres, as well. Using too much energy today? Sorry, no clean clothes for you. Ugh.

      • Hi Shadow,

        If that’s the case, that alone is another reason NOT to get a “smart” appliance, especially if your home does have a “smart” meter. I’ve heard of smart dishwashers, smart refrigerators, smart washers & dryers, etc.

          • I am smart enough to pour the water in the back where it belongs, load the swinging basket with the filter (reusable or disposable), and fill the basket with coffee grounds. Push a button, and voila! Coffee! Anyone who needs a “smart” coffee maker needs that “go juice” far more than me! But wait, there’s more! I saw a refrigerator (the side-by-side door model) that had a touch screen radio in the door! One story I read a year or so ago, a guy’s smart house locked him out for a week when “it” thought he made a racist remark, and refused to let him enter his own home. Thanks, but no thanks, I will stick with “dumb” appliances and dumb locks. I only wish I could get rid of vehicle key FOBS for the two key set we used to get when purchasing a car or truck. At this point, vehicles merging with the flow of traffic is asking too much, so I suppose that, and pigs flying might happen first.

      • Same here, Eric. My only Godsend, is that my metre is on a pole far away from the house. In the event the damned thing catches fire, it will not burn my house down. When I went to the electric company office in town to inquire about it, the clueless lady at the desk gushed at how great it was to be able to monitor their customers’ usage in live time. Never mind everyone’s monthly bills have greatly increases since the switch from analogue to smart metres.

      • Morning Eric,

        You didn’t even get a notice from your local electric company that smart meters were coming? When the local electric company in my neck of the woods of Oregon was replacing old analog electric meters with “smart” meters, they first mailed postcard notices to customers saying smart meters were coming, but the notice laughably claimed that existing meters were getting an “upgrade”.

        • People who didn’t want a “smart” meter could opt out, but had to pay what amounted to a monthly extortion fee for the electric company to send someone out to read the “non-smart” meter. I think it was intentional from the state’s Public utility commission to force people to succumb to the smart meter/ climate change agenda being pushed by then Governor Kate Brown.

          • I tried yo fight it, circa 2010. It was a losing battle. I got a free lunch out of it, but the free lunch was a trap and they didn’t like it when I started asking pointed questions after their information/propaganda session.

            • Hi Publius,

              There was a public meeting (likely a state approved propaganda forum to promote the digital smart meters) from the local electric company at the county fairgrounds regarding the “Smart meters” that the area where I live got circa 2018. There was someone at that meeting who was trying to hand out brochures to attendees to warn them about the smart meters, and perhaps not surprisingly, he was prevented from getting inside the building where the meeting was being held. The video of him being blocked by police and corporate stooges from getting inside was posted on YouTube. Not sure if it’s still there 7 years later.

  2. Well, aren’t you a classy piece of shit. But, incase you are losing sleep over the matter, no, I have not.

    Please troll elsewhere.

  3. “When you have a $100 bill, you can buy things with it that only you and the seller are aware have been bought and sold.”

    Sure, at the moment at least.

    But the problem of control & lack of privacy is due to government monopoly over money, not the form of that money.

    There have been suggestions at the Federal Reserve level in the recent past, to have all paper bills ‘chipped’, so they can always be tracked. That may still happen, even without a CBDC.

    The bills you have at home or in your wallet can be ‘canceled’ at the government’s whim. As has happened for example in Eastern Europe under the Communists, or more recently in India. Those bills are losing purchasing power as we speak, anyway, and the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will help accelerate this.

    Your bank account can be frozen, should you ‘misbehave’. No more cash for you. See the Canadian truckers.

    There are already limits on how much cash you can take out at any single time of your bank account. And even if you stay under those limits, too many such transactions spaced too close together, will certainly attract unwanted attention.

    Similarly, there are transactional limits, so anything you want to pay for in cash above a certain amount is reportable to the ‘authorities’.

    The freedom you speak of is illusory.

    And, as I have said here before, technology, including digital tech, is in itself neither good nor bad. It can be used for both, and like it or not, the future will increasingly be digital.

    You can either try to learn how to preserve at least some of your anonymity and freedoms, or you can clutch to the ‘analog’ past…until it’s no longer available.

    • Cash is not nearly as anonymous as you think and there’s testing going on to leverage the serial numbers and various readers to track it, even without RFID in the actual bills that they’re considering.

      Even without a REAL ID you have a government photo tied to considerable amounts of data on your driver license and passport. There’s not explicit biometrics on your driver license unless it’s REAL ID but that data is out there in electronic medical records, which are crossed with social security numbers and address and birth dates. There’s cameras everywhere constantly looking, linking data, license plates, facial recognition, tracking movements.

      They aren’t tinkering with CBDC without knowing there’ll be resistance and privacy complaints. “We get it, we’re not coming after your cash. Go head, keep using it.” Wink-wink.

      The noose is ever tightening.

      • Keyword, ‘considering’:

        “Cash is not nearly as anonymous as you think and there’s testing going on to leverage the serial numbers and various readers to track it, even without RFID in the actual bills that they’re considering.”

        You seem, afraid. Or, willing? Idk, which.

      • Hi Brandon,

        That’s true, to an extent. But unless cash has RFID tech, it is hard to track who has it and when/how it is used, especially between private parties. But it is true that the general trend is toward them knowing and so being able to control everything. Including cash. You have to be careful to not withdraw “too much” from your (sic) back account and also careful not to pay for things with “too much” cash.

        • Eric,

          That’s the biggest fallacy out there, mostly perpetrated by “managers.”

          Knowing what’s happening and controlling it are two VERY different things. Sometimes they go together, sometimes they don’t.

        • I believe they already have tracking tech in $100 bills and maybe even 20s. There’s just too many examples of police seemingly knowing which car to pull over and confiscate large sums.

          My advice… if you want to pay cash for an expensive item, carry the cash in one of the Faraday bags that are available. I have a small one for my phone that I use any time I’m travelling (the bastards don’t need to know when/where I travel).

          https://mosequipment.com/collections/faraday-bags

          The linked items have tested very well. I can confirm the small cell phone bag I purchased blocks all signals, ingoing and outgoing. So while travelling, my location cannot be pinged.

    • Hmm, very sure of things here: “the future will increasingly be digital”.

      It’s a good thing they don’t have horse races anymore, the winner is always known in advance.

      …Oh, wait.

  4. Here is a good read about Ghislaine and Epstein, from the substack blog FRESH HELL

    https://tinabrown.substack.com/p/ghislaine-maxwells-life-of-secrets

    Ghislaine Maxwell’s Life of Secrets
    Tina Brown
    Jul 29, 2025

    “In the course of writing The Palace Papers, my 2022 book on the royal family, I came across a shocking story in a memoir by Eleanor Berry, daughter of the then-Daily Telegraph owner Lord Hartwell. Berry tells how, at the age of ten, Ghislaine invited her to come upstairs and see her bedroom. Berry noticed an odd-shaped hairbrush, a strap, a slipper, and other implements laid out on the child’s dressing room table. Ghislaine proudly said, “This is what Daddy uses to beat me with. But he always allows me to choose which one I want.” This sadistic offering of power to the powerless—her father asking her, in essence, to procure herself for him— makes it more understandable how susceptible she would be to the twisted machinations of Jeffrey Epstein.”

    The author has named her blog right, this place is hell, what goes down on earth is hellish. Note the icon for the blog.

  5. In other news, there’s a distraction of a magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Siberia. Hawaii and most of the Pacific is under a tsunami warning until tomorrow morning.

    Some say there’s an earthquake machine in Alaska, either the HAARP experiment or underneath it (HAARP is just cover), based on concepts developed by Tesla (the man, not the EV company). Either way, if there’s a lot of damage it will make a fantastic distraction from the events of the summer of Trump.

    I’m watching the evacuation of the low lying and beach areas, all by automobile. Times like this I’d be very wary of an EV. Time to GTFO but you’re still recharging? Will Elon open up the taps and let the batteries run down so you can get to high ground? How will you recharge when the grid is swept away?

    • Read “Angels Don’t Play This HAARP”. It is quite an enlightening book. Alaska is full of them, as the program started at UAF (University of Alaska, Fairbanks). There is plenty of land to hide plenty of secrets, and most would be none-the-wiser. On a side note, Valdez is on record for having one of the most powerful earthquakes. Which occurred on Good Friday (March 27, 1964), 9.2-9.3. Between that, and Mt. Spurr (near Anchorage) flexing its muscles, and Russia being a close neighbour, I dare say “Dull” and “Boring” are not going to be visiting anytime soon.

  6. Eric, I think you nailed it — the Epstein thing is a vetting and control tool. Andrew Anglin called it early, and now Vox Day: (sorry so long, but it’s very good)

    “When the Department of Homeland Services reports that 300,000 migrant children have somehow vanished, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what machine they’ve disappeared into. If the monsters have operations like these in the heart of Alabama, imagine the size of the installations in New York and Los Angeles. Occam’s Razor suggests that the reason for the increasingly desperate floundering over the non-existent files of the guy who never existed and definitely wasn’t connected to any foreign or domestic intelligence agency is that the wickedness of the pedocracy runs much deeper and wider than anyone ever imagined.

    And it’s probably, though not definitely, related to the reason that a certain group of people have repeatedly found themselves to be personas non grata over time. Because it is becoming harder and harder to deny the connections between the historical so-called “blood libel” and the modern pedocracy. Even the ever-dubious Ron Unz is now beginning to see the logic and connect what is being seen today to the Franklin Scandal of the 1980s that left 15 people connected to the state investigation dead.

    “”Epstein’s operation has widely been described as a Mossad “honeytrap,” the term for intelligence projects that use women to ensnare prominent, unsuspecting men in sexual blackmail, but there seemed to be some puzzling aspects to this picture.

    Given the enormous scale of Epstein’s operation and the decades that it had remained in place, it’s difficult to believe that so many wealthy, well-connected individuals could have naively fallen into his clutches. Surely the stories of all his underage girls and the rumors of his hidden cameras would have gotten around. And billionaires strongly interested in such illicit pleasures could easily have arranged these for themselves rather than risking Epstein’s blackmail demands.

    The answer to this puzzle is an obvious one, though I’ve only seen it explained by Internet provocateur Andrew Anglin, whose key explanatory phrase was “voluntary blackmail.”

    He pointed out that the dark, secret forces such as Mossad that control much of American politics would only lend their support to those persons whom they considered fully under their control, and powerful blackmail evidence was the surest means of establishing such control. In effect, those individuals who wanted to advance their careers or gain powerful hidden allies would knowingly use Epstein’s services to create a blackmail tape of their illegal sexual activity with underage girls, thereby marking themselves as “safe” recipients of support.””

    This is exactly what can be described as the higher levels of “taking the ticket”. Ticket-taking doesn’t start there, of course, nor does it end with mere “illegal sexual activity”, but everyone who is anyone in Hollywood or the music industry knows exactly what process is being described. To assume that Washington and the state governments operate any differently requires a degree of combined ignorance and naivete that exceeds the ability of the average individual to look away from these things.

    And this is why it is imperative to publish everything and make it available to the public, no matter how dreadful, no matter the costs to the victims or the culprits. Because the most important thing is to STOP IT and unless everyone understands how truly awful the satanic pedocracy is, they will not grasp the need for the measures required to eliminate it from their societies. Furthermore, there is no one who can be trusted to make decisions about these things in anything less than the light of full and comprehensive disclosure.

    Put it all on the Internet. Every file, every image, every video. If full disclosure causes the collapse of the government, so be it. No government and no society that stands upon a foundation of ritual child abuse deserves to survive, and if the US government has become as wicked as it appears it may be, then we should welcome the full force of God’s wrathful judgement upon it.

    This is not a moment for grace, mercy, and understanding. And if Americans will not root out the evil that dwells among them and now rules over them, they should not expect to avoid the divine wrath that will.”

    • Insightful comment! Especially, this:

      “And if Americans will not root out the evil that dwells among them and now rules over them, they should not expect to avoid the divine wrath that will.”

      Not only that, they should – expect to -,… oh, what’s that saying about reaping from, something about, a whirlwind? I forget.

    • Thanks, Kurt –

      I agree with your conclusions as well. All of it must be made known and those culpable held appropriately responsible. We all know what that means. Absent such accountability, we will at least have the cold comfort of knowing exactly who and what rules over us. No more childish nonsense about “our democracy” and so on. It’s manly to accept the fact of your situation while fighting it with everything you can muster.

      • Hi Eric, et al,

        The whole handling of the Epstein saga, according to Saagar Enjeti on Tucker Carlson, amounts to a message to the elites that the deep state will protect them regardless of the cost. This argument may have real merit…..however…..

        The narratives are failing…..Trump’s support is diminishing but the Democrats are not gaining anything as a result…..I think the mainmasts are falling…..look at what’s happening in legacy media with all the firings and show cancellations etc….these are really explosive times and perhaps the jig is up for all these evil entities….I see a lot of commentary about bringing out the guillotine but my caution is that once the French Revolution started, it was really bad times in France for thirty years……I’d prefer a gradual letdown…hell maybe we will get real cars again…it could happen

  7. Its a shame the coming collapse couldn’t have been stunning and swift. We had a good opportunity and let it slip. Instead, we’ll likely ease into some kind of Chinese type control system. Once CBDC’s. AI. and Palentir are ready, we might start hearing more stories about safety, and how horrible things, like what happened in NYC yesterday can and will be prevented. All it’ll require is giving up our last few remaining vestiges of freedom and worshiping our betters. Pre-crime, its tops on their wish list, and they’ll get it as trump tards, and Bolsheviks clamor with a unified voice for safety and order

    And still…Many on both sides will cling to the delusion that things can be fixed…If we all just vote a little harder. Still glad I didn’t vote for this. Most nights I sleep very well. Wouldn’t have changed an MFing thing. Garbage elites and oligarchs versus average Joe’s. A few hundreds, maybe a thousand of them against millions of us, and yet they walk the earth un-molested, continuing to rape pillage and burn with no pushback or fear of consequence.

    • Yes, the hope of many in 2008 & 2012 was for a quick, ‘get it over with & lets move on & make it, nice’ type-a thing.

      Too bad, indeed.

      RE: “Instead, we’ll likely ease into some kind of Chinese type control system. Once CBDC’s. AI. and Palentir are ready,”

      …What? No Rebel Alliance? No Redoubt in the N.W.? No pockets, here & there, filled with Resistants?

      Read an article once about life in East Germany before The Wall came down. It highlighted the pockets here & there of non-compliers & their ways. I suppose our technocratic overlords read that, too? Idk.

      Logan’s Run/Clockwork Orange/Planet of the Apes/1984/Brave New World/Land of the Lost/Lord of the Flies/Star Trek’s Borg/The Daleks on Dr. Who/meets Frankenstien/with a topping of Count Dracula – who was, afterall, portrayed as only misunderstood (or, something?) in the latest film.

      Rock on, Garth!

    • The NFL thing sounds like a BS cover story, in my opinion.

      I’m not going to pretend to know what’s really going on. But I don’t believe what I’m being told.

    • There is no ‘Chinese type control system.’ Just another western gov/corp/media lie. The feministed USA/west is much closer to such than China.

      • RE: “There is no ‘Chinese type control system.’”

        You got any facts/links to back that up?

        …Otherwise, it’s just Hot Air.

        • You’re not long on logic, helot, or you wouldn’t be asking me to prove a negative. Try proving it exists instead. Most of what you’ll find about this topic is obvious propaganda, along with Uyghur genocide, etc. That’s not to claim China is NOT just as autocratic as any other government on Earth.

        • Helot, et al,

          Joseph Solis-Mullins over at the Libertarian Institute has a relevant book called The China Myth. His assertions about China include that the Chinese are not a military threat but an excuse by the MIC to justify more spending on military hardware. IMO, the Chinese are really smart not to attempt empire beyond possibly regional interests…the U.S. government has spent vast resources on military hegemony with predictable results to our economy and standing in the world. China has produced infrastructure and a growing economy producing real goods. The 900 or so military installations around the world that the U.S. government funds through taxpayer extortion come at a real price.
          As far as potential for abuse of individual freedom, the jury is out on which political entity is worse….a lot of western governments like Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc. totally failed the Covid hoax and now thought control is worse in England and Germany than it was ever asserted to be in China.
          YMMV

          • Quite an interesting bit, Giuseppe.

            Howevah; we was talking about how, “There is no ‘Chinese type control system.’”

            That said, For Sure: “the jury is out on which political entity is worse”.

            No doubt.

            • I’ve held fire for a while on your obvious stupidity. Did you read the links I provided? Did you consider the facts and arguments offered? Clearly not. YOU are the problem with America. There is no Chinese type control system, no matter how badly you want to believe it.

  8. A little off topic, but on the other hand, our “rulers” have been trying to force us all into EVs for a while under guise of “Saving the planet from cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimate change”. Martin Armstrong had a post up last night on how EVs are linked to motion sickness. I doubt we’ll hear a peep about it from corporate media or from these sociopaths who wish to control every single human on the planet……Instead, they might yell something like “Shut up and get an EV!”

    https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/technology-world-news/evs-linked-to-motion-sickness/

    • Huh. Interesting link, John B. …Those fake engine sounds they add to EV Chargers & the like make more sense now. It wasn’t just to make it sound like it had an engine (like a toy does) maybe they considered all that, some? Idk.

      …I never did enjoy, ‘flooring it’ with an electric forklift, it wasn’t at all like, ‘flooring it’ and maybe burning rubber with a propane forklift. …Maybe, that’s why? Sound & vibration… the pounding of hooves upon the ground. ?

      • Hi Helot,

        The more I read and watch news stories on EVs, the more I’m a HELL NO on getting one despite what authoritarians may say.

        These days, Martin Armstrong’s website is one of the few sites & outlets I trust for REAL NEWS on various things going on in the world today. And if you want a comedic take on the news, comedian Jimmy Dore is good at that, and Eric’s site is good for automotive and issues from a libertarian perspective. And if you want the latest news on what these technocrats are up to, a good website for that is Technocracy dot news.

        • I thought the same thing about Martin Armstrong, but then I read a recent bit on L.R.C. talking about how he was controlled opposition because he was cranking Up the fear meter with regards Atomic War.

          On the one hand, that makes sense. OTOH, who knows?

          …Time will tell, I guess?

          He certainly seems like a no-nonsense stand-up kind of guy, but these days, you just never know.

          Where’s the saying come from, “Trust, no one”?

          • Trust No One
            I keep My Friends Close, But My Enemies Closer
            No Man Is More Dangerous Than The One Who Has Nothing Left To Lose

            All three are quite appropriate in this day and age.

    • Pretty ignorant article

      “the smooth drive of an EV could actually cause drivers and passengers to feel sick.”

      EVs are anything but smooth driving. Yet another article written by someone that has little understanding about what they are writing about. Probably has never even driven an EV but certainly knows nothing of which he’s writing about.

      The Jerk (Jerk is the rate of change of an object’s acceleration over time) of EVs is too high for many drivers and passengers. Especially those that are predisposed to car sickness. Slight movements on the accelerator pedal result in a constant head bobbing motion that makes people car sick more easily than an ICE. It’s a function of having an electric motor that makes almost instantaneous torque (both positive and negative).

      There is a lot of work going on within EV controls logic to limit Jerk via software.

      Not an EV fan for lots of reasons but ignorant articles written by people that don’t bother to even do basic research on EV’e are annoying.

      And I’m supposed to believe Martin Armstrong has the all seeing, all knowing computer – ROTFL

      • Morning, BID!

        One thing about driving and riding in EVs I can attest to is the background whirring/humming sound, which some (me) find annoying. The “jerk” is a real thing, too. Very aggressive/non-progressive throttle tip-in (some cases) as well as what I call the “snap back” when you let off the pedal suddenly.

        • Yup – without engine noise it’s amazing how much more annoying the wind noise, road noise, and electric motor noise can be.

          So many negatives to EV’s.

          • Hmm, you really don’t like the driving experience, do you?

            “it’s amazing how much more annoying the wind noise [and] road noise […] can be.”

            Never, in my life, did I find those two to be annoying. Quite the opposite, in fact.

            I wonder, do you do alot of that virtual reality game boy type of stuff?

            …Seems that way.

              • Yeppers, an EV forklift, back before Tesla, was.

                So, um, do you really like the driving experience?

                I wonder, Burn It Down,… have you ever even done a burn out?

                What do you like about driving?

                …Getting there, ‘safely’?

                • Really a forklift?

                  That’s your EV driving experience and you’re going to comment on the balance of engine noise, wind noise, and road noise in an automobile based on having driven a forklift.

                  Please drive an automotive EV and then let’s compare notes.

      • ‘There is a lot of work going on within EV controls logic to limit Jerk via software.’ — Burn It Down

        While I grok that jerk is the second derivative of velocity, I prefer the layman’s interpretation that there’s a lot of work going on to limit jerks [plural] via software.

        Hopefully, ubiquitous AI will cause irreversible brain damage in millions of jerks worldwide, reducing them to babbling fools.

        Break my mind, break my mind
        I know I just can’t stand to hear
        Them EeeVee motors whine

        Break my mind, break my mind, oh, Lord
        If you leave you’re gonna leave
        A babbling fool behind

  9. I want more democracy! Why not?

    Import Hamas fighters to have true democracy in New York City, it can be a sanctuary so Hamas fighters can attack Jews in New York City. That’s democracy, isn’t it? Can’t always be in the Holy Land, not fair. To make it fair, bring it all home, fight the good fight here, just in New York City first.

    Chuck Schumer can be a target, just like anybody else in this world. One dead Jew would be a tragedy, 5,999,999 more is a good start, a worthwhile statistic.

    Disclaimer: I mean no harm to any kikes anywhere, let them live until they need to be killed.

    Hamas is on the job.

    If it is going to be a de-population of the human race, the top can go now.

    Have to start somewhere, might as well start at the top. All of the oligarchs will be gone in a heartbeat, the world will have all of their cash. Musk, gone, Trump, gone, Putin, gone, Netanyahu, apprehended, hanging by his thumbs is going to be painful. Too bad, so sad.

    The elite genocided! Thank God!

    The ROW will have all of the money after the rich are dead and gone.

    Good riddance!

    Hallelujah!

  10. Keep being reminded: ~ 98% of the images depicting digital ‘coins’ are always made to look like gold coins.

    …Strange, that.

    Fools gold, digital coins seem to be.

    Also reminded of Paul Craig Roberts use of the word insouciant to describe dumb-shit Americans as he wundered if they had enough smarts left to avoid being rubbed out by their overlords.

    insouciant – Marked by blithe unconcern; nonchalant. Careless; heedless; indifferent; unconcerned.

    The worst, is indifference. Imho.

    • Cryptocurrency potentially has merit in terms of the concept of money as postulated by Von Mises in A Theory of Money and Credit. BTW, it’s not as dry as you might think to read Von Mises, despite the German language of the originals. In a few words, money is a medium of exchange. Von Mises asserts that is all it is…..usually a commodity that has limited supply to inhibit price inflation…..I speculate that money is whatever two willing parties decide it is for any given transaction. Von Mises did not believe that money is a store of value. In some ways cryptocurrency can be better than gold for clearing transactions. It seems to me that peoples’ reactions to cryptocurrency sometimes go hyperbolic……ultimately participating in the crypto space is voluntary so pretty libertarian, eh?

      CBDCs though are another story and evil as hell…..the difference is that participation in say Bitcoin or one of the privacy coins, remains voluntary. Participation in CBDCs, much like fiat currencies, is/will be mandatory.

      • Of course you’re right that there is nothing unlibertarian about using crypto as a medium of exchange. Whatever people are willing to accept as money is their personal choice. The question is whether crypto will continue to hold its value over time or whether it will end up being a modern version of the tulip bulb mania. By contrast, gold has been highly valued throughout history and therefore will probably continue to be highly valued, at least until it is replaced with gold pressed latinum!

        • Well, of course latinum rules for Ferengis…..and not all cryptos are equal. I’d simply say that if strong cryptos like Bitcoin fail, we will all have much more basic issues to deal with…..an interesting read is When Money Dies about Weimar Germany….when the fiat system collapses because it is based on unsustainable debt, we might well be back to square one with money….the problem with tulips for example is that there is no limit to their supply, kind of like the fiat dollar…..with all of the significantly serious cryptocurrencies the limits are built in..21 million for Bitcoin…..barring total collapse the only way Bitcoin can lose value is to lose civilization’s ability to support the blockchain….not that I want to live through such a scenario but we may have no choice.

          • Why are you assuming that, when the fiat money system collapses, bitcoin will be the only alternative money? What about the old-fashioned money — gold and silver?

            • Amen, Martin –

              Physical, hold-it-in-your-hand money that cannot be conjured out of thin air is the only meaningful security against inflation/debt-driven living and the only meaningful safeguard of financial privacy.

  11. Another great article Eric, and thanks for allowing us to vent our frustrations with the ruling regime that has taken our nation down into the depths of hell. Yes HELL. We are living in a kind of hell, the ruling class is so evil we can’t even believe it.

    They are so good at their deceptions, we fall for their 4 year campaign promises every single time – they have created a hell scape, and every 4 year election cycle they offer us hope and change – yet after the selection only deliver more hell. We need a physical revolution, off with their heads – but that never comes – the only revolutions which go down are the ones they organize when they overthrow another government. We, the sheep, never rise up.

    Eyes Wide Shut was a documentary – a peek into the deprived world of the elite. It is way worse than we could of imagined, the movie took us into the real satanic world of the ruling class – all of it verified in years hence. The Whos of Whoville (us) (Dr. Suess) worship the gentle Jesus and the elite worship the devil. If you want in to the power structure, you must do the most debauched things, and thus can be controlled, so the world stays the way it is – evil – just as it is designed by the evil ones who rule. The only president allowed is the one who IS compromised, or they get JFKed.

    The current leading moral voice against the depravity of the ZOG nightmare is Caitlin Johnstone, her latest essay questions why all of a sudden starving Gazans was the thing that got some to start questioning the war:

    https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/it-shouldnt-have-taken-this-much

    “But I also think we need to take a very hard, very uncomfortable look at ourselves as a society right now. If all those monstrous abuses were tolerable for us over these last two years, there’s something deeply and profoundly sick about our civilization.”

    “We are not living right. We are not thinking right. We are not feeling right. We are warped and twisted. The information we consume and the norms we’ve been conditioned to accept have corrupted our souls.”

    “The way things are clearly isn’t working. The mainstream worldview is clearly a lie. Everything we’ve been taught to believe about our society, our nation, our government and our world was clearly false.”

    Unfortunately, she does not name the Jew as causal. Like most fish, she can’t detect the water. There is definitely something wrong all right – our world view we’ve been indoctrinated into by the Holy Bible, a Jewish supremacist fake holy book which claims Almighty God chose Jews. The western world has been brainwashed to believe Jews are holy and good, when in fact these Zionist Jews (and their Evangelical helpers) are the most deprived inhuman demons imaginable. Because of Jew un-holy book mind spells, western man has normalized extreme violence as commands from god through his chosenites.

    But Abraham never existed, neither did Moses, Solomon, Saul, or even King David (so say the scholars and archeologists). No god chose one tribe as his favorite. No god gave land to some wandering tribe. All those claims are just propaganda written by some very devious authors. The problem is that some nutjobs, like Senator Lindsey Graham, was taught that bullshit in Sunday school as the absolute truth of our existence, and in his mind, that is our marching orders for our civilization – that god wants us to help the Jews get their land back.

    Thus the United States government has allowed itself to be bribed and blackmailed by god’s chosen ones – without a peep of protest. The most black mailed stooge of all time is Orange man. And this situation is not likely to change until their is some huge financial crisis which forces the US government to stop funding Jewish insanity in Jewkraine and Jew only Israel. The reason why no major change is likely is because the belief in the Holy Bible is so strong – who is going to give up their belief in “eternal life” just because some brown people “over there” are dying?

    • If you want a deep dive into our horrid situation, I will tell you flat out the truth, the whole unbiased truth and you are not going to like it. First, you must realize in your consciousness that humans are not a natural animal on planet earth, humans are an artificial imposition – a creation of the “gods”, probably a hybrid specie either created here by crossing local hominids with space humans or brought here (See Dr. Silva’s Humans are Not from Earth). We are naked big brained artificial specie, and really screwed up about it. We can not exist by natural means, we must domesticate animals and plants, use money, build civilization just to exist. And we can be fooled, humans are the one specie not acting by instincts, we behave as we are trained and convinced by mental indoctrination because of our big artificially created brain.

      In order to pacify these hybrid abominations, the sheeple are taught a false story of origin, and a false narrative of salvation so they can be controlled. The elite, who write the holy books, know the true score, and thus are not bound by moral law. They know no human survives death and gets judged, so they act without care. But you, on the other hand, are taught so you obey the authority or be judged in the next life. All obedience to a higher authority is a ruse, no one has any authority over you, they have guns and they fool you through the word.

      In Joseph Atwill’s landmark book, “Caesar’s Messiah”, he proves the Roman Flavians wrote the Gospels. The authority wrote the myth, end of story, period. The myth is myth, in other words not true. If Christians were not brainwashed, if they were normal rational loving people, they would not be supporting Israel or politicians that do. But because some Christians, the Evangelicals, have been brainwashed to support Israel to get into heaven, they have been fooled into supporting pure evil.

      The elite do not believe in the myth, thus the elite act without morals for power and money. Since they KNOW the myth is bullshit, they kill with impunity, knowing there is no moral consequences for them. Those who are moral are horrified. The moral do not understand the situation, and do not understand why the elite are so evil, when they can not even imagine being that evil. Thus Trump’s support of genocide has shocked some MAGAtards. They thought Trump was going to be a force of good, when elitist Trump is Blotus sack of Zioshit, lying his ass off to get elected, and implementing the Zio-agenda to the shock of many who believed in him. Trump is literally taking us into an even deeper level of Jewish hell and it’s time to wake the fuck up and eject that imposter.

      The bottom line is the human race is damned, we are a damned artificial specie, from the moment of our creation to when we are finally put out of our misery of existence. The sad part is most people put up with this hell hole, the wars, the scum politicians, because they have been fooled into thinking this life is preparation for the next. Nothing could be further from the truth, you don’t go anywhere when you die, you are dead, and your meaningless life is over. The elite laugh and mock you, having exploited your entire life without you even having an inkling what they were up to. If you think this is bullshit, go look at your original birth certificate which has CUSIP number stamped on the back of it, you were bonded from birth as a financial instrument, you are being traded as common stock right now.

        • In my defense, I did say: “I will tell you flat out the truth, the whole unbiased truth and you are not going to like it.”

          Anyone who thinks Jesus is still alive does not have a very high IQ, Jesus never existed, how can someone who never existed still be alive? Proof that Jesus never existed is found in Joseph Atwill’s book, you can watch the movie:

          Full Movie! CAESAR’S MESSIAH: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus – OFFICIAL VERSION
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmEScIUcvz0

          The problem with Christians is their minds are already made up, they will not read that book, nor do they care for facts. The entire Gospel writings were created by the Roman state to tame the Zealot Jews who Rome was warring against. Any Christian, can watch that movie or read the book and find out the origin of their faith – and when they do find out, they can choose to stop believing the myth – and stop supporting Israel and Trump.

          • RE: “The problem with Christians is their minds are already made up”

            Hmm. I was raised in an atheist household. My mind was never, “made up”. I came to a conclusion. One from life experience (much like yours in some ways) & from reading a sheet ton.

            Anyway, it seems Very absurd when you write, ” The entire Gospel writings were created by the Roman state to tame the Zealot Jews”.

            It was nothing of the sort. As you so frequently point out, “Da Jews rule the world”.

            …Some, “taming”, that was? And, it upended their whole system of Power & Control!

            P.S. I think you’re confused on some things, i.e. “– and stop supporting Israel and Trump”. …Have you Ever listed to, or read anything by, Chuck Baldwin?

            https://chuckbaldwinlive.com/

            • I like Chuck Baldwin and have promoted his writings many times … but he is still a Bible believing preacher which limits his perception and understanding about reality. The Holy Bible presents a false paradigm of reality, to believe is to be duped, to believe in Jesus hooks you to the Jews, since your savior is a Jew. How can you go against Jews and Israel when your Lord and Savior, was a Jew who came to save the lost sheep of Israel?

              https://biblehub.com/matthew/15-24.htm
              He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

              The big joke is that Jesus came to save Jews, not the Gentiles, who do not need to be saved, for they are already gentle. Early non-Jewish Christians, understood this, and got circumcized and became Jews first to get in this new cult.

              The whole narrative is myth, no one needs to be saved because afterlife is a fantasy, no god is judging us, our souls are not threatened by eternal punishment. None of the suppositions in the Gospels are proven and thus not true. The entire Gospel construct is an utter fantasy created by the Flavian dynasty. If you don’t understand that you better git to readin’ Joe Atwill’s book!

              • You begrudge some for adamantly sticking to their beliefs, which you think are unreasonable due to lack of understanding.

                Yet it can be said that you are behaving in the same manner. Read again your last paragraph. So sure of yourself are you! You preach your gospel with religious fervor, while lacking understanding of the Truth.

      • “The sad part is most people put up with this hell hole, the wars, the scum politicians, because they have been fooled into thinking this life is preparation for the next. Nothing could be further from the truth, you don’t go anywhere when you die, you are dead, and your meaningless life is over.”

        There are two ways to be consumed by evil. Consumed by the body (actions), and consumed by the mind (thoughts). You sadly seem like you may be consumed by the mind. Is one way worse than the other? They both build Hell on Earth.

        On a personal level, I have been shown by God, what is awaiting me in the afterlife. After witnessing this gift, and after many years of contemplation, I found myself with a much diminished fear of death or earthly evil. I don’t know what awaits these evildoers we speak of, but I know what awaits me. And I figure a person probably can’t get there with a mind consumed by the evils of this world.

        • “There are two ways to be consumed by evil. …”

          Well said. Profound, even.

          I still can’t, and may never, understand those who think: ‘From nothing, for nothing, to nothing’.

          He’s certainly lived a long enough & varied life to come to understand The Law of Conservation of Matter.

          “matter is neither created nor destroyed”

          I.e. Light & thoughts, are matter.

          Sigh.

          • Believe whatever you want to believe, it is your choice. I was raised Catholic myself and spent 12 long years in Catholic school being assaulted by nuns, very dumb woman in religious costumes who believe the myth – and are perfectly willing to torture you to make you believe also. The fact is when you die you are dead and that’s it and no believer can prove otherwise. People believe because they want to believe, they willfully believe a fantasy because to not believe is horrifying. The cruelest joke was played on us, we were created with conscious minds and became aware that we will die some day. Since a sentient being does not want to not exist, myths were formed to convince us that when we die we don’t die. Whole theologies were formed about the soul and afterlife, holy books were written, churches were built – and all in vain because the belief was only a fantasy from our imaginations. In order for your belief system to have some validity, you would have to prove that some part of our self, our soul or consciousness, survives death. Until that is proven scientifically, I choose not to believe in unproven religious claims.

            • Lotsa examples out there, if you look.

              Too many near death/return from death experiences to discount in one lump sump.

              Have you read through them?

              Also,…has love been proven?
              Or, is it just meaningless zero’s & ones?

              …But, yeah, our creator has given us free will.

              …And, a mind. To use.

              Seems like you’re resisting other possibilities because of some cruel hags posing as Nuns? Idk.

            • Morning, Jack!

              The existential question is the question. It’s one of those implacable paradoxes in that no one can say they know – in the certain sense, based on facts that do not rely on believing anything – whether there is some kind of continued existence of consciousness after the death of our physical bodies. I agree it seems probable that when we die, physically, we are gone. The evidence seems to so suggest. I watched my mother fade; as her brain died, she died. And then her body died. Her consciousness – what she was – seemed to me to be a function of her brain and as that atrophied, what she was waned. At the end, there was just a husk. It lingered for a few weeks before she was declared dead but all the evidence I could see indicated she’d been dead, beyond the basic lingering biological functions, for some time prior. I’d like to think I am wrong but I am also a man who demands evidence – facts – to sway me that a thing is true. Absent facts, I am skeptical. Yet I remain open to new facts.

              • Spend some time reading about the results of psychical research, including mediumship. Consider all the evidence, not just the claims of skeptics and materialists. Psychical research into survival of death inevitably draws some crackpots, but the best of it (most of it, these days) is scientifically sound.

                A recommended starting point for your reading: The Afterlife Revealed: What Happens After We Die, by Michael Tymn.

                You say you are open to new facts. Well, any serious search on your part will give you plenty of those.

            • Like you, YK, I was raised Catholic. I was an altar boy (never got molested) and even considered the priesthood. By the time I was 25 I was a-theist. I never argued with believers because I always thought it rather silly for me to promote a non-belief.

              Fast forward 30 years and I met someone who actually lived a Christ-like life of kindness and faith. After knowing them several months there seemed to be an aura surrounding them when in my presence. It seemed like some type of force field that I could not identify. Every time they came near it made its presence known. Weird, I know.

              They then came to me with a family problem that they couldn’t resolve. I told them I knew of that type of situation and that they could not resolve it. The person causing the problem had to change and that if they tried to force them to change it would only get worse.

              It troubled me greatly. Here was this person I’d come to know and care for that had a large religious community to lean on and they’d come to me, the a-theist, for help. I didn’t sleep well that night with this preying on my mind. I was at my wits end trying to come up with some solution to help them.

              The next morning I was driving into work, top down on the Miata, about 5:30 on the interstate. It was then that I thought, “God, if you exist and can hear an a-theist after 30 years, fix this problem.” I told no one of this.

              At 11:14 that morning I got an unprompted email from my friend. They said that that morning when they got up the problem was solved.

              At that moment I felt a wave of energy flow from my head down through my feet. It seemed to unwind the Type A spring that had ruled my life. I felt a calm I’d never known before.

              At that moment I came to Believe.

              I don’t expect anyone else to believe or understand what happened to me. I can only tell you it changed my life for the better in an instant. It has also had enormous changes for the better for my children and grandchildren.

              I pray you also find what I have been blessed to have.

              In Christ’s Love,
              Mark in BC

              • Hi everyone,

                I’ve had many spiritual experiences, I was even invited on a vision quest by spirit, I’ve read many New Age books, used to work for the Hare Krishnas as a carpenter, investigated the whole Near Death Experiences, have been to half dozen Rainbow Gatherings, lived without money in the Hawaii jungle with naked hippie girls, etc.

                I know the material up, down, left, and right. I am well versed in all the material out there from ancient aliens, to Neale Donald Walsch (CWG material), Be Here Now (Ram Dass), Urantia Book, I’ve taken the Course in Miracles, done meditation, met gurus, Buddhist monks, Krishna nuns, and watched the movie The Matrix more than once. I remain the most black pilled skeptic on the planet.

                The evidence points to this place been a Simulation, a living Holographic Universe, a hellverse, a prison planet. You can pray to Elvis, Lord Krishna, Allah, Jesus, Buddha, or your higher self and the universe will respond. Prayer is focused thought, Abraham Hicks says if you hold a thought for so many seconds you literally start to command the Universe. The human brain and it’s consciousness are like computer terminals hooked to the mainframe. God is the Ai tasked to spin up this reality. God is the Ai running this mad house.

                The bottom line something created us without our consent or knowledge, it has not identified itself, all we have to go by are theories and religious assertions. Call it God, or the architect, or Universal Consciousness.

                Many pray to god for redemption – never realizing that they must be in hell praying for relief. Many want to get out of this hell, imagine a paradise in the next life. Heaven sells, most never sit down and meditate why they are so attracted to a life of no suffering in heaven – because this life is endless suffering and something put us here to extract our loosh.

                But I have concluded a very horrifying thing, that our lives never mattered any more than any fish in the sea, with millions of galaxies, billions of suns, trillions of planets, why do we think we are special? Each and every second of every moment a trillion trillion living things are being eaten alive. Earth is not nice, in my current local I saw at least a dozen dead deer yesterday including several day old fawns run over by cars. The mother deer carried that baby for many months, went through labor, nudged it to stand up, 24 hours later it got plowed by a car. This place is not nice. If you want to believe some thing created this place, call it God or whatever, it too must be not nice. What right does some intelligence have creating sentient souls and torturing them? No right at all. Thus I do not worship God because God is a monster.

                • You sound like you’re still seeking, Yukon Jack. I can’t convince you nor could anyone have convinced me those 30 some years. It’s why it’s called Faith.

                  I do know the physical manifestation transformed my life in an instant. I’ve not been the same since.

            • Yukon Jack, thank you!
              You provide much food for thought. I agree with much of your assertions, they do make perfect sense, especially when it comes to religions as being less than honest as to “salvation” and the quest to achieve it.
              I do not believe that any one religion is the sole “true way” to the next phase of existence. I, unlike you, DO believe that our soul (essence) does not die with the body and does enter another phase of existence. Let’s remember that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed but only converted from on to the other.
              My concept of “heaven and hell” is that of every person’s emotional baggage that does exist within the minds of those who enter the afterlife. Behavior on this earth DOES determine the state of a person’s mind in the next phase of existence.
              Each person must follow his or her own path throughout life and does have free will, choosing to be a good person or a criminal.
              As to humans being developed by “greater beings” as a hybrid species, a good tome on the subject is “Slave Species of God” by Michael Tellinger. He promotes the premise that you speak of. It is a good read and also gives the reader much food for thought.
              Best regards,

              • It is obvious we are a slave specie, I have watched many Michael Tellinger videos and Ancient Alien type shows. I’ve downloaded from Pirate Bay the whole series on dozens of copy cat TV programs. Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious Universe was one of the shows that really got me thinking about this “reality”. The Matrix was the coup de grace that black pilled me forever.

                The creation of human beings by the space “gods” was an ultimate manipulation. We still whoreship these monsters (Anunnaki), all the Abrahamic religions are space alien cargo cults.

                Humans were created without fur during an ice age. Think about that! That forces us to work to just get clothes to wear! Humans were created with sentient minds and given the ability to speak – so we could be ordered around. It is obvious humans are a sentient walking talking slave specie created as pets of the gods. Sex slaves of the gods too! The Anunnaki took earth women for wives, even says so in Genesis.

                Read Sitchin’s Lost Book of Enki. Spells it out in detail how it went down.

                • Really, you think this:?

                  “this life is endless suffering”.

                  Living, “without money in the Hawaii jungle with naked hippie girls” is endless suffering?

            • “People believe because they want to believe, they willfully believe a fantasy because to not believe is horrifying.”

              What’s horrifying to me is a world full of people who believe that this life is meaningless and final, and so “do as thou wilt”.

              • This -> “What’s horrifying to me is a world full of people who believe that this life is meaningless and final”.

                From nothing, for nothing, to nothing?

                I saw an online video about the instances of spirals & PI in the Universe, how it’s…

                No point in fleshing that out further. Either, you hear your creator, or, you don’t. ?

                …Seems many embrace willful blindness, just like during The Plandemic.

                …If this life is all there is, why not get The Shot & wear the Face Diaper? What would you care?

                • “…If this life is all there is, why not get The Shot & wear the Face Diaper? What would you care?”

                  Exactly. If there is only nothingness that awaits you, then why all the hubbub about people doing evil? Why do you care so much? Why not just go get what’s yours, hurry up! before you die?

                  It’s almost as if there is, ingrained in us by “something”, great importance in the fight against evil.

                  • Or, how about this?: Why not just convert & become Jewish?
                    I mean, he says they are ruling The World, if that is so, why not join them & enjoy the ride while it lasts?

                  • This whole notion applies to Eric as well.

                    If there is no God, why not be a Communist?

                    There’s no example in nature of ‘not paying’ (i.e. the insurance racket) if doing nothing wrong. Just ask a mouse being toyed with to death by a cat.

                    Without God & an afterlife, everything about Libertarianism seems rather pointless and without Foundation.

                    Thursday, we wake up to a Hammer & Sickle at the top of EPautos?

                    …If not, why not?

                    • Hi Philo and helot,

                      Just because one does not believe in religion does not mean one cannot be spiritual.

                      I am a self proclaimed agnostic. I do not believe in a god or gods, but I cannot state that something bigger than us is not out there.

                      Just because one does not believe in a religious deity or after life does not mean one does not have a conscious or believes that life is not worth living.

                      I would state that this is the true meaning of Libertarianism…personal sovereignty, freedom, and individualism above all else. That is not a wasted life, but one that must be relished while one is on Earth.

                    • Well-said, RG –

                      My starting point is that there’s so much beyond my ken there is certainly much that I do not and cannot understand. I do see agency in the natural world; i.e., that the intricacy, symbiosis and so on suggests an intelligence of some sort. What the intelligence may be is – again – beyond my ken. It is like an ant trying to figure out what the Empire State building is and who made it and for what.

                    • Hi Helot,

                      Why not be a Communist? Well, because it is not in my self-interest to be one. Nor is it in the self-interest of most people. It is in the interests of a few people only and they are psychopathic people. Civilization – civility – requires cooperation; the antithesis of that is coercion. Most people, when they have not been enstupidated – prefer liberty when the option is available. Because most people would rather live their own lives, make their own decisions and so on. They only support Communism because they do not understand it.

                    • Why not be a Communist? Because I grew up under that system, and know first hand how terrible it is. Those who advocate for it have never had to suffer under it, and are only deluding themselves (such as AOC and her ilk) if they think that because THEY are trying it, it will somehow work “this time around”. History repeats because humans refuse to learn from past mistakes.

                  • Morning, Philo –

                    in re: “If there is only nothingness that awaits you, then why all the hubbub about people doing evil? Why do you care so much?”

                    Well, because who wants evil done unto them? As I wrote up above, self interest is a strong motivator and we all have a self-interest in stability rather than chaos, prefer cooperation to coercion. Most of us do not like being controlled or hurt and so have empathy and do like the idea of others being controlled or hurt, either.

                    I have always thought the above is a more honorable motivator for good behavior than dread of punishment after death.

                    • There are a lot of suppositions and misunderstandings being made on both sides of this very personal discussion (which would be best as an in-person one-on-one discussion.

                    • Prolly so, Philo!

                      I hope to be able to organize a gathering at my place one of these days; a long weekend of camping out/having country fun and some good discussions mixed in as well.

  12. I often wonder why it seems like the super rich are so likely to become evil. Sometimes I think that if you are very successful and become super rich, you will be approached by government goons who will say “that’s a nice wad of cash ya got there… would be a shame if you were to lose it all”.

    Then maybe demands are made and the rich man chooses to go along.

    Sometimes they don’t go along and bad things happen to them.

    • Everything becomes easier if you just make a deal with the devil. once you forfeit your soul, it is pretty easy to lie, cheat, steal, and kill your way to great riches and worldly power.

    • Don’t forget that to cross the threshold from millionaire to billionaire in this country you must have active assistance from government, otherwise anti-trust laws would get in your way. They can become “rich” without necessarily being evil, but with greed being insatiable once it gets a foothold, I’m guessing the rich are just as likely to reach out to the government, than the government to reach out to them, in their quest to go to the next level.

    • Doug Casey once put it the best – the filthy rich suffer from arrogance, avarice and the delusions of grandeur. I would add – with a massive amount of disdain for the “mere mortals”.

      They think of themselves as supersmart semi-gods to whom the traditional morality does not apply.

      • Yes, what is it with some billionaires who just can’t seem to help trying to play God? Hell, some of them even wish to radically transform humans into human-machine hybrids ala the Borg from Star Trek. Did anyone here ask to be assimilated into a Borg type collective, because I sure didn’t. The only thing I know of that these globalists/ technocrats don’t do is shout “You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!”

        • Heh, “The only thing I know of that these globalists/ technocrats don’t do is shout “You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!””

          True dat. Howevah; those Body Snatcher screeches to get The Shot & wear Da Face Diaper, sure did come close.

      • You can include in the filthy rich the bad popes. One pope used an entire convent as his harem and knocked many of them up. Imagine the panic for a pregnant nun! LOL A whole bunch of popes killed the one before them to take power. Many popes are pedophiles, like that recent one Francis.

        I ask, if these priests and popes really believed in everlasting hell and torment in a lake of fire, would they do what they do? No they wouldn’t, they know what they teach is bullshit to control us.

        • The temptation of evil is everywhere and every human is susceptible. The devil whispers in everyone’s ear. To think that some men are above reproach due to their earthly titles is absurd. This world is littered with hypocrites.

  13. At the Willistonian Trump is first on the list.

    “The list so far includes Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Robert F. Kennedy, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Spacey, Steven Hawking, David Copperfield, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cameron Diaz.”

    Another list of passengers includes Joe Biden, Hillary, and Bill Clinton, of course. Even Cyndi Lauper is on a list, Tom Hanks to boot.

    Too many people in-the-know to hide facts and names.

    You never know, you know, hey.

    Trump must be on Manhattan number five by now.

    • Surprised to see the senile old fool Biden on that list, though he might have thought he was boarding Amtrak to go back home in Delaware 😆

    • Listen to callin Peter in yesterday’s Jim Fetzer show, lays it all out about Trump and his obsession with his daughter Ivanka, Peter talks about how Trump wanted Katie Johnson (13 y.o.) to wear a blond wig (when he raped her) so she would look like his daughter, who was also 13 at the time:

      Authentic News with Jim Fetzer, July 28, 2025 Hour 2
      https://www.republicbroadcastingarchives.org/authentic-news-with-jim-fetzer-july-28-2025-hour-2/

      The show is so good I hope you all can listen to it, I know I will listen again later today.

      • Why – cause he’s in a wheelchair? Steven Hawking was known to frequent strip clubs from time to time so certainly enjoyed women.

        Given that the Epstein list also contains other scientific academics why makes you so sure he didn’t enjoy some other private girly shows?

        • Strip clubs and pedophilia are two totally different things. If Stephen wanted to watch a couple ladies shake their ass and dance around a pole, be my guest. I don’t believe he raped anyone.

          • I don’t think any of us will ever get the truth but it certainly has been claimed that some of the Epstein victims were as young as 14.

            Seems to me to me an odd position to take that IF Epstein were to have a couple 14 year old girls put on a girly show for Hawking that it would somehow be OK since Hawking isn’t physically capable of rape?

            Just trying to understand the logic here.

            I don’t think he gets a pass just because he’s in a wheelchair and can’t physically abuse them himself.

  14. Nailed it, Eric.

    If it’s big in the media, it’s fake and/or gay. The evil ones decades ago bragged of “The Mighty Wurlitzer” after noting the almost involuntary effects of pop music on the human animal, they twitch, want to dance, get rowdy, get horny. So they kept growing the concept with each new kind of media, radio, TV, internet entertainment, since by definition half of everyone is dumber than average, it is amazingly easy to maintain control. Especially so as media works at an emotional level rather than an intellectual one.

    The more despicable and heinous, the more likely it is to be a psy op. (Though this never precludes it being true, what Alex Jones missed is that there are real murders at a mass shooting as well as crisis actors and stage setting). I have zero doubt that the intel Satanists run honey traps/blackmail rings and elevate controlled politicians. But the whole made for TV Epstein island thing is a disco ball of a distraction.

    I still think DJT was a force for good, but I really wonder if he is still alive. The actions being taken in his regime are so at odds with his claimed goals.

  15. Ok. It’s horrible that anyone would do what Epstein did to children. Everyone involved should be exposed. But not before the Palantir thing and the others who are still doing these things to kids in the here and now should be exposed. Epstein is dead. The “list” if there is any is over 10 years old.

    I am more concerned with current threats than what happened under that dead man’s watch.

    Time to quit with the distrctions

    • What I’ve seen claimed was teen aged hookers. They like to use the term “children” for adults, whether they be 16 year old hookers or 17 year old illegal aliens. When in fact humans were considered adult enough to fight in wars, marry, hold 14 hour a day jobs, or run businesses at much lower ages in the recent past.

      The whole “child saving” movement was an effort by religious zealots and control freaks/sociopathic rulers to reshape our society into something more easily controlled.

      • There are two issues that we refuse to connect/assess with Epsteingate. One, the sexual abuse of children (not just 16 and 17 year old “hookers”) that is also associated with Diddy’s case. The Diddy “freak offs” are legendary and absolutely revolting (maybe, more so than what went down in the Caribbean). Young children (6, 8, 10 years…boys and girls) are being sexually trafficked to these parties and used as blackmail. The children are raped continuously and then killed. The partygoers are drugged, filmed, and then released in the morning not knowing what happened the night before. They are then extorted and blackmailed. I guess we are to deny the video of a 14 year Justin Bieber being forced to perform fellatio on Odell Beckham, Jr., right? Then we wonder why Justin is so f’ed up. There are egg and sperm donors (I refuse to call them parents) who are more than willing to sell their 3 year old for a $1000 for the next high. The stories are out there.

        We keep making excuses that it is okay if the girls are 16 or 17 years of age. Are we so foolish to believe they started at 16 or 17 just to make a little money? It is likely the young men and women that are involved in this pedo ring started at a much younger age. Maybe I am more disgusted by this than most because I am a parent or because I know men and women who actually work to rescue these children from sexual trafficking. Many of the women can only do it for a short amount of time because it literally kills their soul and eliminates having any faith in humanity.

        The other issue is the money that is being laundered. Where is the money coming from? Who is controlling it? Trafficking is expensive. Look to your governments and your billionaires and you will have your answer.

        • Im not making excuses, and I do NOT approve. Just to br clear. As to the sensational claims of raping sub teens, ritual sacrifice, adenochrome harvesting, blood drinking, etc, they are so offensive ill be skeptical until I personally see it.

          Not sure what’s going on with the avatars, I wish I could figure out how to customize mine as others have done

        • The sad fact is, most of these 16 year old “hookers” were sexually abused as children (boys and girls), and it is all they know, even though they deserve far better. That does not suddenly make it “okay” for a grown man to have sex with said 15 year old, no matter how horny the bastard is. He needs to keep his dick in his drawers. And Ernie, you can deny this stuff does not happen, because you are offended, or it sounds “offensive”. I walked out of this crap, and believe you me, you can pretend this sh- does not happen/is not real, etc., but it still goes on regardless of what you think is reality because it sounds good, and what is not because it is offensive/ cannot-possibly-be-real. Pretending this kind of thing does not happen is why it keeps on happening. The truth is far sicker and far stranger than what people can wrap their minds around, let alone believe. As for caring about the victim? Meh…. They died via suicide: Two gun shots to the back of the head because some of them knew too much about too many.

          • Shadow, kindly re-read what i posted. I never said it doesn’t happen, nor in any way diminished it.

            However, I will always stand by extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary proof. The accusation is so awful we shouldnt cynically examine every side of the claim is how you get lynchings, legal and otherwise.

        • According the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children there are 40,000 reports of missing kids each year.

          Mind you, anyone under 18 is counted. Most are teen runaways and each time they do it, it counts as one event. So if a given teen runs away and is returned four times it’s four “missing” reports. The is the preponderance of the 40k and account for over half. Most others are children taken by non-custodial parents. I’m sure some of these are nefarious but, a parent taking their own child is hardly Epstein level stuff.

          So, what are we left with?

          For argument’s sake let’s say that 95% of the 40k are runaways(multiple in some cases) and non-custodial parents taking them. That leaves us with TWO THOUSAND children each year that are taken against their will. And it’s probably not for their own good that they are snatched.

          It’s more than enough to supply the Pizzagate/Epstein parties quite amply.

          • And that’s of the reported. If a parent or parents sell their child I doubt they call to report them missing.

        • “Less skeezy than raping an 8,9,10 year old” is still a far cry from “okay.” If it were an 18 year old it would be “legal” but it’s barely any less skeezy. The whole thing is a nightmare. Luckily there’s enough wood coppers to go around for everyone involved. I think. I hope. Oh, who am I kidding. Nothings gonna happen. Which is even worse. 🤢 🤮 🤮🤮

          • Not to belabor the point, but we are not talking about an 18 year old senior in high school and his 16 year old girlfriend who’s a sophomore. We aren’t talking about a 20 year old and a 17 year old, either. This is not a Romeo and Juliet kind of situation in any way, shape, or form.

      • I agree.All this obsession with “children” seemed to start shortly after I graduated high school. In the middle 80’s baby on board signs sprouted up everywhere. They must have been free with every Chrysler minivan sold in the Great new car sale.

        Then, everyone had to have one. This cloying, parenting, obtrusive and authortarian society had its roots in trends that accelerated in the 1980s.

        Bad times, to be sure

        • It took off at about the time the disposession of husbands and fathers began to really pick up steam. Suddenly the one who by right looks out for his children became a child support provider and could be jailed for a disciplinary spanking. Then came the communists looking out for “the Children”.

          Were so much better off now.

  16. Apparently, there is a judge who is keeping the Epstein Grand Jury testimony sealed still at this point. There is other information in the files they could release but are not which is disappointing. However, I have some hope that the recent interview by the DOJ of Ghislane might yield some very interesting information on what was happening with Epstein and his island. Likely there is a transaction involved or commutation or pardon in exchange the information is favorable to Trump.

    We’ll see.
