How can this be?





The polls say it is even. But Trump is stuck in NEW YORK, getting cheered by union workers, and serenaded by kids. He is cheered in HARLEM, of all places. The previous post shows downright HOSTILITY, on the part of a union organizer, to Biden in NEW YORK. How is that possible in a DEEP BLUE STATE?

Something doesn't add up.

AI is a higher order of intelligence?

Someone characterized AI somewhere in this video.

Something about that kind of thinking is worrisome. One would be in awe of a higher order of intelligence. Why then would people want it?

But people want things for reasons that are baffling. Humans cannot control their own behavior. Why turn it over to a machine, and still expect to control the machine?

These are my thoughts. Watching this video is not reassuring. Perhaps AI should be banned, but there's no way that's going to happen. Somebody somewhere is going to develop it, and then if anything bad results from it, it cannot be stopped. Humanity will be screwed.

A result like that could happen with people too ( completely outside of AI). The problem seems to be with people. AI may figure it that way too, and decide to wipe us all out. (Terminator scenario)













What You Never Realized About Dances With Wolves

Golden Rewind YouTube Channel

Hmm. You might not realize some of these things... that is, as opposed to "never realized".

I can be a fanatic about language usage. But highly qualified language can said to have its counterpart in making movies that become blockbusters. This video about that movie taken as a pair can be used an example of that so as to make a point. For if the movie was made too much in the way the critics wanted, the movie might not have sold to the public. The same point can be said to be true of another movie I can think of, which has some parallels with this movie. "The Alamo" was not historically accurate, but if it was, would it have been as successful at the box office? In completion of the pair of examples, with my criticism of the title to this video, the use of such imprecise language may actually help with getting more pageviews.

If movie critics could write great cinema, they'd be a lot richer. Perhaps if I wrote better, I could be a movie critic. Ha, ha.









Real America's Voice: "Darren Beattie: Our country has become STUPID"

Comment:

Never underestimate the power of stupid.

Or as the sage said, stupid is what stupid does.















Tom Emmer agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu





Me too. Jewish folks vote Democrat, so this isn't a partisan thing for me. I don't know why it should be for ANY American. This is pretty fundamental here in our history as Americans. According to the First Amendment to the US Constitution, you have the freedom to believe as you wish as long as it doesn't interfere with others' rights.



Besides, I don't think it was Jewish terrorists who hijacked planes and rammed them into buildings on 911. Islamic Jihadists did that.



It's a fair thing to say. In the Koran, it is permissible, or even encouraged, to kill those who don't believe as they do. This belief is utterly incompatible with the letter and spirit of our law. This pernicious belief cannot be allowed to establish roots in our own country. Not ever.



It is also fair to say that not all who believe in what is called Islam also believe in the ways of certain Jihadists like the ones who attacked the USA on 911. Therefore, it is possible to accomodate so called Muslims. But there's a bright red line that must never be crossed. Otherwise, we have lost the fundamental character of our nation. This isn't just a Jewish point of view. It should and must be an AMERICAN point of view.















Meanwhile, at Columbia U.: Faculty members form blockade to keep journalists out of the encampment





Looks like these university employees are hiding something. Cannot be said that they are protecting someone because these are journalists, not an angry mob. Indeed, they are protecting what appears to be an angry mob-- these faculty members aren't interested in protecting the public FROM this angry mob.



Don't these faculty members get paid with public funds? Does the public have the right to know who these people are, and what they want? It seems fair to allow journalists to ask some questions. Or has our government become like Theranos. Or shall I say, Nazi Germany. Or ANY totalitarian government that suppresses freedom of the press. These are Brownshirt tactics.

Liberals or Nazis? Is there a difference?--- Dan Bongino Show episode 2235





Cutesy time is over, he says. He could do better. But we all can and should.



















How to Spot A Cult Sarah Edmonds, Ted Talk



Nobody is immune to a cult. I'd buy that. Not even for a dollar.

There are plenty of red flags, and she goes over them in this video.

Question: What if a society falls into cultish behavior? It's happened before.

They'll say maybe this: can't happen to me, and can't happen here in the USA. Maybe you'd be wise to look very carefully at what's going on and ask if you really signed up for the shit that's going down.

I'll bring it up even if people leave here in droves. Polls have said for years that the USA is on the wrong track. How come we cannot get it together?













Elizabeth Holmes: The psychology of a liar



One of the points to emphasize here is that this video isn't just picking on Elizabeth Holmes. In order to see why, you have to watch all of the video.

For example, lying is more commonplace than believed. It gets worse from there. By the time you slog your way through, maybe you'll feel the way I have come to feel. Which is to say, you really have to have a passion for truth, and zero tolerance for lies. Otherwise, you'll helpless to the power of the lie.

Here's a thing you might consider also to keep in mind. The video will show you why there may be times when you'll lie anyway, even if you don't want to, or intend to. Finally, nobody considers themselves to be dishonest. We'll lie to ourselves too! Oh, hell yeah.











6:29 PM, Update a little later:

A Ted Talk about a young whistleblower who may have been instrumental at ending the fraud at Theranos. She gets cheers from the audience at the talk. Well, I hope that that is a good sign, but what I see is a whole lot of people in society want to keep their heads in the sand. Maybe those in that Ted Talk are cheering only because she won her fight. What if she lost?

Illegal, and under the influence, kills a Democrat Senator's Staffer



From Nevada. Senator Cortez-Masto's staffer was killed by an illegal who shouldn't have been in the country. Wouldn't have happened under Trump. Voting for Democrats can get you killed. But let us not talk about it. Seth Rich anyone?











The Predatory Mind goes nationwide



4/23/24:

Cui bono? Who benefits? Looks like somebody's getting something from these crooks, and keep sending them back. Maybe they're hoping for some crumbs to fall off their table, or something.

end update of 3/2/23 post:



The Predatory Mind

In the link above, a number of quotes from the movie "Goodfellas" will demonstrate how the Predatory Mind works. This is the mind of a wolf.

Basically, the wolf despises the sheep while he abuses the sheep. What could illustrate more clearly than anything else the predatory mindset now living within the minds of the ruling class in this country.

This isn't a country of laws, but of willful men. This isn't a democracy, but a clique of the criminal class that has taken over the country.

There is no easy way out of this. Elections are being overthrown so as to keep themselves in power while pretending to have free elections. You cannot get rid of them. They are guaranteeing their own continuance in power under this fig leaf that covers up their naked exploitation of the the people. The people get to pretend that they have a say in all of this. Fake news supports a fake society that kids itself perpetually until they can't do it anymore.

There is virtually no difference between right and left. Both are now a bunch of thugs, who rule over the people with a tightening grip of the iron fist. The pretense of democracy is making the horrible truth easier to tolerate. Once the people get used to it, it will have become normalized. The left versus right false choice is being used to deceive people into accepting the chains being forged upon themselves.

You can tell that there is no real will to oppose them. Brandon with these approval numbers? Are you kidding me?

The truth is in the Right track Wrong track poll. Only 35 percent think the country is on the right track. The other one is the phony one-- if we're on the wrong track, how do you approve of Brandon? You don't and you can't without the deception. The bad stuff has to be rationalized away somehow.

One thing that's true about it. In Goodfellas, it was mentioned that most people tangentally involved in the criminality, are there for the ride. They like their trappings of crime while kidding themselves that they aren't enabling it. It is also all over that movie how Karen, Henry Hill's wife, rationalized away the crime. She even kidded herself into thinking that they were just hard working blue collar types.

That's about as close an explanation as there is to how people can see what's wrong, but aren't willing to do anything about it. It explains a 35% poll for right-track wrong track, and a 48% approval poll for Brandon. These people sense that they will lose something if Brandon and his ilk are repudiated. They circle the wagons around their corrupt leader. If they are worried, it is only because they are worried about themselves first. They are co-opted into the wolfish lifestyle, just as Karen Hill was. The movie was based upon real life, by the way. It happened. It's playing out in the society overall. Nobody wants to end it. They know it's going to hurt.

The GOP only exists to make it possible for the criminal class to succeed in subverting the entire country. They are like Judas goats that lead the herd to its doom. Supporting them is like rationalizing the rationalization. Most of the GOP doesn't support the people. They are pretending. They are lying to us. They could do more, but you can bet that they won't. They'll do just enough to fail. Then they'll make a million excuses why they couldn't do what they said they would do.

It's not going to be easy turning this around. In fact, it may not even be possible. But if the effort is not attempted, there's no stopping them.

Interesting video on this next one. He discusses the push for digital currency. He believes the powers-that-be want total control. My takes is that it is tantamount to making the whole world a prison.



The fact that our government is doing shit like that ought to have people alarmed, but nobody will believe it no matter how much evidence you bring to bear. ( I think the guy is more right than wrong.) No, I think the thing the people are alarmed about is the fictional climate change story. Otherwise, why would the powers-that-be push for all this crap? For our good? If you believe that, then you'll believe anything.

Mark Levin: Here's why Biden has been awful for America







I'd say he made his point.









Used car dealer: "People are broke"

Cannot afford $4500 cars, the narrator says. It isn't entirely clear where he is, Canada or USA. I haven't been on a lot in a long, long time. I guess I've been getting poorer all that time.
