Chronicling my mission to rediscover reality. Think of this my live journal for my fool’s journey through the cosmos of available information.

Throughout the week I’ll add the videos I watch, links to news stories, the book(s) I’m currently reading, and anything else I may encounter that seems useful.

Monday January 11

Book of the week “Amusing Ourselves to Death Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business“

Viva and Barnes “Another Impeachment? Capitol Hill Fallout; Tech ANTI-TRUST? Using the Law”

Study out of Stanford demonstrates that lockdowns have been ineffective at stoping the spread

Who didn’t see this coming?

Via RT:

Researchers at Stanford University in California aimed to assess how tough lockdowns influence the growth in infections as compared to less restrictive measures.

They used data from England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, and the US, collected during the initial stages of the pandemic in the spring 2020. They compared the data from Sweden and South Korea, two countries that did not introduce tough lockdowns at that time, with that from the other eight countries.

They found that introducing any restrictive non-pharmaceutical interventions’ (NPIs) such as reduced working hours, working from home and social distancing helped curb the rise of infections in nine out of 10 study countries, except for Spain, where the effect was “non-significant.”

However, when they compared epidemic spreads in places that implemented less restrictive measures with those opting for a full-blown lockdown they found “no clear, significant beneficial effect” of the latter on the number of cases in any country.

Maybe GAB should invest in radio stations.

The next great power struggle has begun. Politicians vs. Big Tech

Morning News – Timcast IRL with Luke Rudkowski, Ian, and Andrew

It’s gotten so bad, even Christian news outlets are lying about what Trump said during his speech at the Save America Rally.

Via NoQReport (emphasis added)

A news report and accompanying video portrayed President Trump as clearly inciting riots with a single quote. Out of context and in the incorrect order, the words are very damning. The problem is CBN pulled two separate quotes out of context, reversed their order, and made it appear that the President was calling for his supporters to storm the Capitol. Here’s the quote from their video and article:

---

The President is blamed for inciting the violence at the Capitol when he told supporters, “We’re going to the Capitol…and if you don’t fight like hell we’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Why watch CNBC or Bloomberg when you can listen to Quoth the Raven and George Gammon?

Quoth the Raven also had a recent conversation with Whitney Webb that was incredibly interesting.

Morning news, last night’s Timcast IRL with guest Allum Bokhari

Interesting first hand account of The Storming of the Capitol by Mike Waller

Via the Center for Security Policy:

The deadly riot at the US Capitol bore the markings of an organized operation planned well in advance of the January 6 joint session of Congress.

A small number of cadre used the cover of a huge rally to stage its attack. Before it began, I saw from my vantage point on the West Front of the Capitol, what appeared to be four separate cells or units:

1. Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;
2. Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;
3. Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and
4. Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.

All of these cells or groups stood out from the very large crowd by their behavior and overall demeanor. However, they did not all appear at the same time. Not until the very end did it become apparent there was a prearranged plan to storm the Capitol building, and to manipulate the unsuspecting crowd as cover and as a follow-on force.

What’s Jim Acosta going to do when he doesn’t have Trump to stalk anymore?

The Daily Wire is getting into the culture war.

Their first entry is a film they produced (read, they paid to have their names on it) called, “Run. Hide. Fight.” It premiered last night via a stream on The Daily Wire site. I tuned in, and I have to admit that the film exceeded my expectations.

Here’s the trailer.

The power of memetics

Memes really are magic!

Via The Phoenix Enigma:

Definition of memetics

: the study of memesMemetics sees ideas as a kind of virus, sometimes propagating in spite of truth and logic. Its maxim is: Beliefs that survive aren’t necessarily true, rules that survive aren’t necessarily fair and rituals that survive aren’t necessarily necessary. Things that survive do so because they are good at surviving.— Los Angeles Times, 20 Mar. 1999

…

Memes are egregores which we’ve talked about a few times on the show.

Egregore

An Egregore (pronounced egg’ gree gore) is a group thought-form. It can be created either intentionally or unintentionally and becomes an autonomous entity with the power to influence. A group with a common purpose like a family, a club, a political party, a church, or a country can create an egregore, for better or worse depending upon the type of thought that created it. The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a legal entity) and, of course, THE MEME.

The concept was discussed in early Theosophical literature and is well-known in esoteric thought, but it is not a mainstream idea. In discussing egregores Helena Petrovna Blavatsky wrote “every thought so evolved with energy from the brain, creates nolens volens [willingly or unwillingly] a shape.” Continuing, she states that such a shape is absolutely “unconscious unless it is the creation of an adept, who has a pre-conceived object in giving it [the thought form] consciousness, or rather the appearance of consciousness derived from the adept’s will and consciousness.”

Holy crap! Someone is making decent red pilled music!
