PS: Good afternoon Mr. Kief,

Curious indeed. The other day your link didn't work for me. Today it does. (I tried it in 3 different browsers)

It's interesting how different operating systems/web browsers in different locations read the internet differently.

☮

PS: Mr. Smith - I tried your link and mine in the post below. Mine worked, yours didnt. Curious, isn't it?

PS: Good morning everyone...

Mr. Kief, is this the video you were trying to link to?

Mr. Ike, I agree! With everything you're saying. I agree that vaccines are making things worse (spreading the coof) and with your take on the election fraud. (Just enough fraud in enough of the right places) Interesting times. Thanks for the gigaohm link.

PS: - DISCO KILLED THE RADIO STAR - OR THE NEW PURITANISM SHINES IN THE POSTMODERN TWILIGHT****

Jeffferey A. Tucker looks at the CO-19 frenzy: "Where is the human conscience in all of this? Does it even exist among the ruling class machine? What happened to the old and settled concern for civil liberties, scientific inquiry and truth, minority rights, and bodily integrity?

The political purge of institutions is part of a larger drive for purity in our society. Some have called it the new Puritanism. The moniker fits. It’s all about separating the clean from the unclean, defined by whatever the priority of the moment happens to be (biological, moral, political). What began as a push for a pathogen-free nation moved to become the stigmatization of the sick and then a push for universal vaccination, even though none of it makes sense: the jab does not protect well against either infection or spread."

These are hard times for conspiracy theorists - they look a bit stupid in the light of the above video - like people who are trying hard to invent the wheel.

Has Ron Unz ever written on the Arizona Audit specifically?

Even in a comment to mock someone who mentions it (as he is wont to do)?

PeterIke wrote:

"As for Arizona, it was extremely disappointing that the audit results stopped where they did. Oh, 57K "suspicious" ballots? Well what was the vote tally on them? If it was 56K Biden votes, then things are a LOT more suspicious."

The 57,000 suspicious votes is an aggregate of all votes/voters wide range of technical problems, some of which are no doubt innocent mistakes by the voter (like many of the wrong address cases) and some majorly problematic (dead voters, non-citizens voting, double-voting)

Here is one example:

The county only rejected 0.03% of votes for signature non-matching ("Bad Signatures"). The Audit found this number should have been 0.22%+, by even a relatively relaxed threshold under industry-standard signature verification software. Also analyzed manually with pairs of eyes. A total of 0.19%+ of the certified vote should have been tossed for signature problems but instead were tossed in.

Remember the final, certified vote was Biden 49.4%, Orangeman 49.1%. A 0.3% margin.

-- 0.22% votes cast with "bad signatures" per industry-leading software (Audit Finding).

-- 0.03% ballots tossed by county for "bad signatures" or missing signatures (Certified Results by governor)

-- 0.19% ballots were allowed in and counted despite having definite signature problems for which they SHOULD NOT have been rejected.

If the margin of "bad signature" votes that slipped into the vote-count ran 3:1 for Biden, that alone is one-third of the state's margin for Biden right there, would reduce his state margin from 0.3% to 0.2%. If the bad-signature margin were 10:1 for Biden and all these votes were tossed, that's half the state margin (0.30%-->0.15%). And that's just one form of the problematic vote aggregate.

Having written all that out, I understand why some just want to avoid the whole thing. It can get really down in the weeds, nitpicking, minutiae.

More salacious that disputes over signature matching, which some may find tedious, was the finding that 17,322 mail-in votes were determined to be "2-Copy, 3-Copy, or 4-Copy duplicates." Supposedly cast by specific individuals acting alone. But they were exact duplicates. That raises some big red flags, I'd think, and these are highly suspicious votes and surely should be tossed in any comprehensive recount on suspicion of fraud. The county caught none of these 17,126 duplicate mail-in votes in their vote verification process. Zero. The duplicates amounted to 0.83% of all votes counted in the county.

Another mystery is the total absence of some 6,500 votes. Totally missing. The county reported a number 6,500 larger than the total number of votes found in the Audit. What is the explanation? That again adds another 0.3% of the total county vote to the "suspicious votes" pile... and so it goes on.

The longtime Sailer commenter prime_noticer once wrote:

"Steve blocks any 'what to do about it' posts. he sees his blog as a guy on the deck of the Titanic, snark commenting minute by minute as the ship goes down. and that’s it. he’s not interested in doing anything about it or offering a platform for anybody who wants to save the ship to talk about it. ...it’s his blog, he can do what he wants..."

This is thematically closely related to some of the points here, but also makes me wonder if (how much) he blocked comments on the Arizona Audit or generally on "V*ter Fr*ud" (as people had to write it on Twitter for a long while to circumvent the AI censors and shadowbanners).

PS

Hail said:

"Incidentally, I would be curious how much the Sailer commentariat dismisses the audit outright vs. how many are open to it."

As a member of that commentariat, I am 100% convinced there was fraud in the election. Not "widespread" fraud, just "wide enough" fraud, i.e. in six cities in six swing states. That's all you needed. Anyone who can look at the evidence and NOT be deeply suspicious is either a dolt or just fooling themselves.

As for Arizona, it was extremely disappointing that the audit results stopped where they did. Oh, 57K "suspicious" ballots? Well what was the vote tally on them? If it was 56K Biden votes, then things are a LOT more suspicious. And so on. It's like they were afraid to take anything to the next level.

PS: Thanks, Peter Ike. I am 18 minutes into Gigaohm's talk now. I will have to finish it later on. I had seen the clip of that NY Governor's talk already on iSteve. Sickening.

Re: Mr Kief and Mr Moderator and Mr Smith

...on the mystery(?) of why Steve Sailer has declined to ever mention the Arizona Audit between its start-date (late April?) and the announcement of results (last Friday).

These are all good thoughts on his motivations. I don't know that I have any better ideas.

I'd add this thought:

Given how Sailer effectively runs a "group blog" via the comment sections (which he regularly participates in, and from which he also draws material for main posts), he sometimes will make a post with minimal or no content just to elicit "Sailer commentariat" responses. Sometimes these are even just a single word of main content --- as in: "[Title]; Thoughts?"

He did nothing even like this for the Arizona Audit, even now five days past the results announcement, which suggests he actively wants to avoid the topic.

Incidentally, I would be curious how much the Sailer commentariat dismisses the audit outright vs. how many are open to it.

TUCKER CARLSON ON THE "CORONA CULT"

https://hailtoyou.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/tucker-carlson-on-the-corona-cult/

See link for video (8m30s), transcript by me, some commentary mainly as tie-in back to the original Corona Religion hypothesis I argued for as early as April 2020 (at iSteve comment sections and elsewhere) and then in a full-form way in mid-May 2020.

The rant from interim-governor Kathy Hochul about "God DEMANDS you get the vaccine!" "Be my apostles and spread the Vaccine!" --- some might dismiss it as just awkward talk by a less-than-refined, unelected politician. Even so it is a prefect frame, or tee-off point, for a revisiting of the Corona/Covid as Breakthrough New Religion hypothesis.

I believe my essay "Is Corona a Literal Religious Cult?" (May 18, 2020) was among the first to propose this in a comprehensive way. I'd like to think I influenced C.J. Hopkins, who I believe saw the outline of the theory at least. Hopkins wrote a highly influential series called "The Covidian Cult," widely republished.

PeterIke wrote:
"the whole thing has been a fraud and a tsunami of lies denying basic biology."

I am inclined to agree.

PeterIke wrote (paraphrasing Gigaohm): "Vaccines are almost surely making things worse"

Serious Corona-dissidents began saying this in August, I think, based on best calls on available early data from early-vaccine-adopter countries.

Right now it DOES seem like the best theory to fit the facts. But *saying* it makes a person sound crazy, like a street-corner ranter. (Within the giant frame that is the Corona-Panic, though, this has been the problem from the start...)

I also recommend this blog for good analysis, usually of the kind you'll start seeing elsewhere in a few months or a year:

Ain't been around much lately! Anyway, this is OT. Peaky, you have got to watch these videos on the Rona.

https://www.twitch.tv/gigaohmbiological

Especially the most recent. It's absolutely terrifying.

Short version: the whole thing has been a fraud and a tsunami of lies denying basic biology. Vaccines are almost surely making things worse, and may well make things MUCH worse in the near future. Fauci and many others should be in prison.

They guy is a biologist and there's lots of hard core science covered, but he blows apart the Science! arguments. And he presents things in a very easy to grasp way, even as he plows through multiple published research papers. One of the best things I've seen yet on the Rona and needs more attention.

PS: Good afternoon everyone...

Mr. Hail, thank you for your summary of the Maricopa County forensic audit results. I agree that these results will surprise no one and change nothing. Electoral fraud is nothing new, but this last selection was stolen with all the finesse of an angry 300-lb DMV negress. It was so obvious that even many mainstream Americans noticed. (How could they not?) Also, thanks for the Kunstler article. Interesting times...

I think Mr. Sailer still believes in democracy or “government” or something so strongly that he cannot entertain the idea that blatant fraud happened for all the world to see. To notice would create too much cognitive dissonance and cause him some discomfort. He probably still believes we can vote our way out of this mess and he doesn't want to diminish belief in the sanctity of the electoral process. (or something)

Off topic, but this video illustrates Mr. Hail's theory of the Covidian cult as a religion... Pretty creepy stuff...

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7pphihc63dU?color=white

And from Mr. Kunstler's article...

“Leana Wen of George Washington University, declared startlingly that vaccinated people are now a threat to the unvaccinated because the vaxed carry high viral loads, making them efficient Covid-19 spreaders.”

Which isn't exactly what she said, though pretty close...

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/PJbI69l4Xpg?color=white

I finally agree with this Wen about something...
Vaxxers are spreading the coof to their unneedled children.

Mr. Moderator, I too would feel at home with the Jan 6th crowd, even though I'm not much for crowds anymore...

I'm glad you didn't go as you might be sitting in solitary as a political prisoner. That would be most uncomfortable.

I hope everyone has a great day.

PS

The thing is, Mr. Moderator, that the clueless majority are being weaponized not to drag the rest of us down, rather to beat us down in a series of “two-minutes-hate” sessions drummed up by the M5M every day.

PS: MY point (2), Mr. Hail, did not address the election fraud at all, BTW, so my post will be the general rant about the ctrl-left, but let me add this to answer your question.

I think Mr. Sailer is sure there was cheating going on in the election. He even wrote a few quick historical posts about Nixon v Kennedy in 1960. However, I don't think that Mr. Sailer really understands deep down that widespread cheating and encouragement of even more of the same is simply what the left DOES now. It's not a few bad apples that need to be prosecuted to clean it up here and there... got to take one for the rule-of-law team this time and live with the results... it can be fixed ... no need to raise Holy Hell about it at the Capitol like some crazy BLM people or crazy 1960s radicals... get a broad-based across-the-aisle coalition together ... yes, that's the ticket...

I don't think there has to be any conspiracy by the D's written out or discussed in meeting. Steve would deride that speculation, but he wouldn't understand that the ctrl-left doesn't need that. Everyone on their side now is on the the same page in his thinking, "whatever it takes to win." PERIOD. Fidel Castro and his crowd didn't get a damn about rule of law any more than A.O.C. does.

So, Steve Sailer is not extremely concerned about Americans learning exactly how they were screwed in '20, by the numbers. He sees that just as a little bit of history that America will get past as it did in 1960. (See, Nixon came back... then he went again ...)

PS: Mr. Hail, I'm glad you asked that, as I forgot to address that in that previous comment thread. I think there are 2 answers that go together:

1) Steve has his certain interests. One is HBD/genetics/racial politics in America/etc. He does a good service in continually writing details and stats that back up the alt-right's feelings on this and even gets perused by some of the more well-known pundits and writers and even referred to by the less cowardly among them. Then, he likes sports, especially golf and, I give him grief about it just for fun, but the architecture of golf courses- he, it'd be good for him to get out of the house into the sunshine on the fairway, even smoke a little weed with the high school kids down in the sand traps... Mr. Sailer may have gotten a clue that most alt-right readers are pretty much disgusted by the black thugs in the NBA and NFL by now and don't support that anymore, but he just can't help it when the sports related to his HBD or when there are cool stats he is interested in.

Anyway, he has enough to write about that he can't get to it all. Also, without really looking into the numerical details (which you WOULD think is his thing), he may not feel qualified to chime in. However, here's (2)...

2) Steve Sailer may not think the "doubters" (a term Ron Unz would probably use if he didn't agree with us) are anything like the "hoaxers" on the Kung Flu PanicFest, but he is still a real believer in civil politics. See, if we can just get everyone to read his and his HBD forefathers' explanations with statistics and color glossy photos with circles and arrows (h/t Arlo Guthrie), we can show them that, YES, we are right about this. White people SHOULD be running the country, and we CAN all just get along if everyone understands what we've been trying to explain, most logically, I might add.

As much as many commenters have tried to explain to Mr. Sailer, this is not the America of 1980, much less 1950. The ctrl-left has not gotten tired of #Winning! You know what? I'll put some of this in another post that will be pretty much a rant. There will be no math.

PS: AWW, I think you're right that the majority of the people are too clueless to care and will be until it's too late. Will we let them drag the rest of us down?

PS: Mr. Hail - Since Steve Sailer more than once mused about the leading German 18th century physicist - and aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, I go with the flow here and quote an aphorism that, I think, sums up what might have motivated him, to stay away from voter-fraud analyses - which would otherwise be right in the middle of what he writes about, since there are a lot of quantitaive and statistical questions connected with this subject of voter fraud...

So - here is Lichtenberg:

"He who paints a target on his front door must not be astonished, if somebody shoots into it."

No. 2: He was deeply disappointed about the performance of Donald Trump and - especially with regard to CO-19, which scared him quite a bit in the beginnig - found, that this President did a terrible disservice to the US (and the world, even). - But not only that: Trump was a disaster in his eyes and that carried him very far out: To the point even, that he made his Trump-posts he wrote before the election, and which were full of hope, in retrospect almost appear as if they had not been this way. - He looked ashamed (he is a sensible person - much more so, than many a reader might think).
So - a mixed but definitely a very well filled bag of motives for Mr. Sailer, to change gears and go on more in the retirement/ not too confrontative mood. - There's still plenty of (controversial too) stuff for him to werite about...

Thanks for the Howard Kunstler link too, Mr. Hail. Kunstler is quite right in hinting at the postmodern side of the way, this voter-fraud story is handled (=ridiculed) by the maintream.

PS

Postmodernism has gone mainstream now - here, Curtis Yarvin with his remarks about the intellectual downfall of the New York Times is absolutely right and did hit the bull's eye of the matter! - To the great delight of Tucker Carlson!

Here is James Howard Kunstler, yesterday, writing on the Arizona Audit results:

https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-big-tell/

"The Arizona election audit climaxed Friday [Sept 24] in the new mode of history-in-the-making: direct deposit in the memory hole‚ proving only (and conclusively) that this is the age of Anything Goes and Nothing Matters. The corporate media played the story as a fart in a windstorm for its audience of the avidly credulous. Nothing to see, folks, move along….

A closer review of the audit results reveals at least 57,000 ballots out-of-order in one way or another and evidence of county officials tampering with digital election records prior to the audit. These matters are now referred by the AZ Senate to the AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich [.....]"

PS

Thank you, Mr. Moderator, for publishing this.

Why do you think Steve Sailer has never posted on the Arizona Audit at all? The same reasons as you cite or maybe (also) different ones?

I don't know, and am curious. Sailer is such a prolific commentator that it sometimes stands out when he *doesn't* mention something. (and, as for it "not really a current events site," that doesn't apply to Sailer.)
