What would we do without at least this guy?! I mean that even for us non-TV-watchers. Watching his clips on youtube makes me think that not quite 100% of the Lyin' Press is the enemy of the American people.
VDare's Allan Wall steered me, here to the Fox News website, where one can either watch the 16 minute segment from Mr. Carlson or read the transcript regarding Everything the media didn't tell you about the death of George Floyd. Now, Peak Stupidity readers have probably all read just as much as Tucker has learned, from VDare, iSteve, and even got details from pre-pulled youtube videos. The rest of the country is not necessarily so informed, and Tucker can help a lot.
I am not going to follow this whole trial, seeing this for the infotainment that it really is. We'll probably have a few posts on it now and then, but for right now, besides the Tucker segment, John Derbyshire already has a piece of his Radio Derb podcast up on the Unz Review called The Chauvin Case—David vs. Goliath in Minneapolis…and In America. Besides his opinion, Mr. Derbyshire steers the reader to a couple of sites written by lawyers in which this case can be followed, Andrew Branca on Legal Insurrection and Scott Johnson on the PowerLine blog.*
Haha, lawyers and rule of law - are they still a thing? Everyone knows that everyone involved in the trial has the shadow of more rioting around the country hanging over him. I don't care what riots occur in Minneapolis or elsewhere, the guy Chauvin deserves justice. I don't have my hopes up. The O.J. thing was almost 30 years ago. Racial relations are sure not any better now.
What comes to mind first when watching this shocking truthfulness from Tucker is controlled opposition. No, wait. That's not my thoughts - it's just that every damn time I read about someone heard telling truth like this, the first words out of bloggers and commenters typing fingers are "Controlled Opposition!!" What the hell? Sure, a guy like Tucker doesn't go too far. Right now, if he did, he'd be off the air, and we couldn't hear ANY truth from him (at least the TV watchers couldn't).
Is the controlled opposition, more than just the useful idiots that are going to write or spout the stupidity that is all they know and those who know the constraints put on them, even real? I'm starting to think that the only people who ever accuse others of being controlled opposition ARE the controlled opposition. Then, remember, Peak Stupidity chalks up more things to stupidity than pure evil. We may be wrong.
I wanted to paste in an excerpt, but it's hard to use just one part. I ask the reader to read the whole thing, or watch. Reading takes about 20% of the time, at most, but it can be nice to listen to a sane voice too.
Since that Fox News segment, I've read of another great Tucker Carlson moment on iSteve yesterday, in Pentagon: Press Secretary Smites Fox Host. That's a subject for another post sometime, though the reader may want to read the quick one here, Warrior Outreach.
* I'm not linking, because, though I think I liked the former, I'm not sure about the latter blog. Anyway, Derb's got plenty of links, which is VDare is VERY big on.

Listen, I thought you commenters here and some of the guys on Unz Review threads were just joking. I don't "do" current events, so I wouldn't have read anything about this, had I decided to look into your (I believe one of Mr. Smith''s) comments some more.
It's been at least since 6 months since I first stated at my workplace that they are doubling down on this stupidity. Nobody wants to admit he's wrong. We're all like that. I! GET! THAT! [/Tucker, and more from him tomorrow] The voluntary donning by people at big risk is one thing, but this face diapers for everyone business was stupid to begin. The "experts" forcing this stupidity on us have been proven wrong before. Often times it's obvious that they've been wrong, as they've reversed themselves on their recommendations. "Well, you said this last month, and now you say the opposite, so you were wrong AT LEAST once."
Rather than admit they've been wrong about these face diapers being important in stopping the Kung Flu (and without even worrying about the horrible effects on a normal society either, BTW), they have been doubling down. "Yeah, wearing one of them, as we've recommended for most of a year, doesn't cut it. Let's go to 2. If that doesn't eliminate the Kung Flu in this Decade [pronounced with an accent on the 2nd syllable, JF Kennedy-style], then we'll got to 3, 4, I don't know. The sky's the limit, and plenty of Chinese manufacturers are all geared up, making high-quality face masks - I mean, Quality is Job One over there, right?
It's annoying enough, and likely unhealthful, to take in Oxygen through one layer of this resistance, just living, much less exercising hard. Now what, we've got one pressure drop through the first mask, then some mixing with the exhaled CO2 in the spaces in between, then another pressure drop through the inside mask.? It'd be great for heat insulating for those living in Antarctica, don't get me wrong. Let the Antarcticans wear 5 mask layers if it helps. For good breathing, though, well, good luck with all that, Fauci. I hope it sends you to the hospital to be intubated, you dumb shit.
This stupidity wouldn't bother me so much if Big Biz and Government were not enforcing mandatory requirements on us. Big Biz does stupid things. Government does stupid things. That's nothing new. We used to laugh at that. Now, though, they are having the laugh, because the entire Establishment has been infiltrated by the ctrl-left and things have gotten to the point where they can makes us do stupid shit. What do they tell you about the old East Bloc Commies? It wasn't, and it isn't now, all about stupid notions of "the good of the many" or punishment. It's about the humiliation. They have been able to humiliate most of the country. (You've got that occasional stand-up Governor who says "go fuck yourself!" to the President.) Making the average Joe do stupid things just gets these people off, I believe.

Posts come to me out too often to remember them all these days. Often lately, it's at the park where the ideas come from. This time, however, the post has not a thing to do with the Kung Flu and associated PanicFest. This title, BTW, may not make complete sense, but that line, appropriated by Elaine Benice in Seinfeld always cracks me up.
I don't know if my mouth hung open for very long seeing this or not. See, this is a nice neighborhood. Even the couple of black kids (one is 1/2 white) don't seem to have extra aggression or cause any trouble. The park is 90% full of white and oriental kids.
We don't have kids young enough for the plastic slides and all that, but the older kids still use if for tag, battle with sticks, etc. As I walked by that playground area to sit down somewhere, I saw a little white girl, at most 3 1/2 y/o, holding a black baby doll.
Let me make it clear. The little girl was truly white, as in with blond hair even, and, well, just plain white. The baby doll was truly black, not some type of ambiguous color with ambiguous features. I can't tell on the doll in the picture above (for sale at amazon, if you're interested), but the one I saw had short curly hair even.
This girl was at the park with her Dad. I don't recall if I've seen them before, but the skinny, bearded, Millennial Dad was white, and the mom, who may or may not be someone I've seen before, would have to be white.
What the hell was the deal? Seeing as this is a nice area, I would have a hell of a time believing that this girl's parents couldn't afford a white baby doll.* No, this girl was given a black doll as either extreme virtual signaling by the parent(s) or maybe by some friend at a party just to fuck with them. "Hey, I didn't see your girl with my birthday present. You're not racist, are you?" (Mom proceeds to have a long discussion with the little one about how she must carry this around till it breaks, hopefully very soon, honey, or your Dad might lose his job.)
If it's the latter deal, well, things have gone pretty far in this Orwellian country of ours. If it's the former, I think the parents are nothing but sick in the damn head. It's natural for a girl to want to pretend to raise a baby of her OWN kind.** That's it, Mom and Dad, make your little girl sad to show your virtuous nature. Steve Sailer had a nice post on something along the same lines a few weeks back Liberals Have Been Making Children Cry on Christmas Morning Since 1969. That was about forcing stores to keep toys integrated by gender. Sure, that's stupid, but we can get past it. What I saw the other day was sicker than that.
PS: I had a great scene from The Office planned to go along with this video, involving HR guy Toby Flenderson, black employee Daryl, and a black baby doll. Youtube doesn't have it, and neither does BitChute. I don't blame BitChute for PC on this - they don't have nearly as much of this stuff as youtube does. Damn! It would have gone right along with this post - humorous and cringeworthy at the same time. If you are a fan of that show, you will probably remember this one.
* I write that in a joking manner, and additionally, there are probably price controls on this sort of thing by retailers to avoid big trouble. Then there's ebay .... haha.
** If you're an interracial couple with a doll dilemma, I don't know what to tell you two besides "let your little girl pick" Oh, excuse me, or little boy, if you want to do other kinds of experimentation with your kids.***
*** Sorry, the video in that post is again one wiped by youtube. However, there is the info in there to find what I refer to.

(Image is slightly old. It's very hard to get file photos of proctological procedures... quite understandably, I suppose.)
Commenter Adam Smith wrote in under this Kung Flu post over a month ago with info on something I would not have believed if I hadn't read it. No, I don't want to SEE it. Per Reuters News, Chinese cities using anal swabs to screen COVID-19 infections. From the capital of the Middle Kingdom:
BEIJING (Reuters) - Some Chinese cities are using samples taken from the anus to detect potential COVID-19 infections as China steps up screening to make sure no potential carrier of the new coronavirus is missed amid regional outbreaks and ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays.First they want to know about the fresh fruits and veggies ("yes, we have no bananas"). Nobody wants new invasive species. Then they want to check if you're a Moslem terrorist. Again, nobody wants new invasive species. Then, they want to check whether you have a fever. That's a symptom of the Kung Flu. Now, they want to see if you have germs in your ass. Let me tell you, Mr. Customs Man, we all have germs in our asses.
A throat swab on a 52-year-old man in Weinan, a city in northern Shaanxi province, showed negative result after the person showed symptoms such as coughing and appetite loss, a city official said on Wednesday, but he tested positive using nose and anal swabs.If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
The Chinese have become very organized and efficient since they shook off the hard-core Communism. I wouldn't be surprised if they had robotic mobile proctology stations built and set up at airports and train stations by now. Failing that, there's this guy:
Hey, I think I know this dude on the left ... he comes through our bank drive-through once in a while ... drives a brown Probe.

The Devolution of CNN
Posted On: Thursday - March 11th 2021 11:27AM MST
In Topics: TV, aka Gov't Media Globalists Media Stupidity The Neocons Bread and Circuses
In reply to commenter Buzz Mohawk about CNN on an iSteve thread, I gave my thoughts on what is now a big part of the enemy establishment. I don't know all of the corporate buy-out details and what-have-you, but I do recollect a good bit.
When CNN started out, the first day of June in 1980, the idea was to just play the 1/2 hour news over and over so that people could watch “the national news” at other times than just 6:30P, Eastern, 5:30P Central, etc. Of course, they could update stories over the course of the day, while the big 3 networks had their whole schedule of TV shows for the day, so would have to wait until the next day’s slot, unless a President got shot or a a volcano blew up.
The latter would really piss people off, because when you missed 7 full minutes of Maude for some Guyanan murder/suicide story, you’d have to wait 1/2 a year for the reruns to find out what funny line she said to Walter and whether you missed some cleavage of their show-daughter.. Bastards!*
6 years ago a site called Mental Floss published this short article about the first day of CNN. (That's where the picture above is from, with the husband and wife co-anchors David Walker and Lois Hart.)
I’m pretty sure I was off TV already when CNN slowly morphed (or I didn’t have cable anyway), but they started making different types of news shows. I don’t know how much opinion was in them at the beginning vs. reporting, but now most shows now seem to be more opinion than reporting.
As a couple of commenters on that thread mentioned, CNN got their big "break", as it were, with the Gulf War I in 1990-91. I can remember the coverage of those smart bombs, the retreat of the Iraqis in a rout, and Colin Powell. It was a heady time for Americans, the sole superpower for only a few years at that point, and this was supposedly a just war. It was obviously a good time to test out weaponry, for "shock and awe", which only greatly encouraged the Necons. That was all show to lots of Americans by CNN.
They were married for 10 years, from 1991 to 2001.
This network could not have gone ctrl-left just because of Ted Turner's turning from a Southern gentleman. After inheriting his father's billboard business worth $1 million in the early 1960s (about 10 million of today's dollars), Mr. Turner started acquiring radio and then TV stations. He started working on the CNN network in 1978, it went on the air in summer of '80, but the network has been run by others since just before that Gulf War I time. Turner may have turned lefty (to some degree, not in all ways) due to Jane Fonda, but we can't blame modern-day CNN just on that one radical.
Because they got so big, and they wanted to gain viewers, CNN realized that just news reporting was not enough. You’ve got 24 hours to fill, every day, on and on. The type of stories that would have been reported on 5 minutes one day, and then maybe had additional 2 minute follow-ups for a week back in 1975, became dragged out at 2 hours a day coverage for MONTHS. Much of that would have to be opinion to fill up that time. Dave Letterman used to kid with this word (I thought it was funny), but CNN programming is the very definition of Infotainment. That is our term of use for the Lyin' Press TV media of today here on Peak Stupidity.
There was no room for a real run-down on Ted Turner, but I'll put this quote below from some kind of Doomsday video he had out at some point. From Wiki:
Turner famously stated: "We won't be signing off until the world ends. We'll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event... we'll play the National Anthem only one time, on the 1st of June, and when the end of the world comes, we'll play Nearer, My God, to Thee before we sign off." Reportedly, Turner plans to make good on that promise.No, but CNN is working very hard on that promise, as a de facto branch of the US Feral Gov't and the Globalists.
* Yeah, I wrote that bit about Maude without checking, but the Jonestown, Guyana massacre/suicide was 1/2 a year later than that show ended. Since we spent some time on this, that story, from ~ 40 years later is discussed on Peak Stupidity in Drinking the Kommie Kool-Aid - 40 years back, with a Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. Maude's TV-show-daughter with the big tata's was Adrienne Barbeau, dba Carol.

Checking in on Housing Bubble 2.0- Bubble or just high inflation?
Posted On: Wednesday - March 10th 2021 7:26PM MST
In Topics: Economics Inflation
Wow, it's been 2 3/4 years, or 11 quarters as the economists would call it, since Peak Stupidity posted anything about this housing bubble 2.0 (on the West Coast, at least). Not only that, but I saved the images below 2 months ago to make this post then. I guess we've got enough stupidity to go around.
As with the last 2 times, I get this information from the Seattle Bubble web site, mainly because "The Tim" how writes it has the best graphs to play with. The data is called "Case-Schiller data" because those two economic analysts first compiled this median home price data with their year 2000 index-100 for 20 US cities' metro areas and price data referenced to that year as a ratio. In this way, the trends in the prices can be compared from city to city without regard to absolute price. In that first post (on "West Coast, University towns, minorities hardest hit") I gave lots of info. on the Seattle Bubble site. Here's a repeat of a bit:
This is more information that could be gleaned from regular readings of Zerohedge and sites like that over the last few years. Peak Stupidity would like to give a shout-out, if you will ("shout-out", only phrase heard from Øb☭ma that I liked) to a site called Seattle Bubble that this writer first perused way back in 2005. By the name, this guy, called "The Tim", writes specifically about Seattle, Washington, but he covers the overall scene with housing prices in his graphs - more about them shortly.So, yeah, this guy does the work, and I just enjoy perusing his less-and-less-frequent posts on this Case-Shiller data. Yeah, I just looked - the guy barely blogs anymore. He used to put up the newest (2-month old) data every month. This data is from his post of late August '20, and it has data from June '20, 3 quarters ago.
Unfortunately, I'm not completely consistent in keeping the same regions of the country, as in same metro areas together in these 3 posts. They are in general comparable though, you really don't need the old data, and lastly, I'm not about to do it again today. I'll point out cities for which the legend's color scheme has them way too close to being the same colors.
Oh, that's an artifact at the end of the Detroit curve. It did not just get nuked (just to be sure, you know), as one might gather from that big decline. In general, in real estate it's all location, location, location, but it one day could be radiation, radiation, radiation! ;-}
The higher grey-blue curve is Washington, FS, and the lower one is Boston, Mass.
I'll state here that for most of the country, calling these numbers a housing bubble has probably been a mistake. Sure, they all have been climbing reasonably steeply since housing prices started rising again in '12. Is it just that inflation has been a considerable amount more than the US BLS (or BS) numbers of 1-2% that they've been giving us for decades? Check out our Inflation topic key for lots more on the subject.
I'm glad I accidentally left that national average curve in with each set, actually as the reader can see that curve in comparison. I get a rise of 80% of the C-S index from '12 to '20. That comes out to a 7.6% annual inflation rate with annual compounding, pretty significant. Granted, the start of this was perhaps a low point, but who knows? Starting from 2000 (index = 100 by definition), we get a 170% increase over 20 years. That gets us 2.7% compounded annually. That's higher, but sounds lots closer to the purported inflation rates, but then I maintain that the first half of the '00s did not have very much inflation. It's the last 10 to 15 years in which we seem to be getting pounded.
Going back to bubble terminology it's the West Coast cities where the housing prices are climbing the steepest. Back to the time since prices bottomed out ('09 - '12) I get San Diego prices up 83% (just above the national average), meaning a 7.8% compounded annual rate, Los Angeles -- 88%/ 8.2%, Seattle -- 109%/9.6%, and San Francisco -- 120%/10.3%. That's steep. They've got the Chinese money coming in over there.
No matter whether it's a bubble that will burst again or we just have pretty high inflation in housing prices, we are getting screwed. All I can do is put on a Ron Paul Liberty Report video, tap my heals together, and say 3 times END! THE! FED!
* Yeah, I did mean to write that. Miami and Tampa? Not Southern.

March Mask Madness - Part 2
Posted On: Tuesday - March 9th 2021 7:05PM MST
In Topics: Female Stupidity Kung Flu Stupidity
We are not keeping up with the mask stupidity as much as we reckoned in Part 1 of this "March Mask Madness" series. It's been a week already. Also, I have been informed by Mr. Hail that a few States are truly lightening up on this form of stupidity. (I'm just not a daily news reader per se, so that's why I hadn't written anything here. Things are getting looser in my State, but not particularly with the mask-wearing.)
That's all a good thing, the lightening up on this masking business, but of course, the LOCKDOWN's effects on the American service economy is not something that can just be counteracted with a law or E.O.* We are not just going to quickly snap back to the normal of '19. That's a subject for other posts though, and this is March Mask Madness - Part 2, a quick thought that came to me while writing Part 1.
It's about women in particular this time. I've written already (somewhere, I dunno) about the problem with communicating with people with these masks on. For anything but the thin medical style ones, most people's voices are muffled from just a little bit to being downright unintelligible. That's not a good thing ... unless it's your drill sergeant, I suppose. Commenter PeterIke pointed out in the comments a tweet alleging that even air traffic controllers are being made to wear these. Clear and precise communication is their job, so, if true, this is pretty egregious.
These thick masks have another effect on communication. It's the nonverbal cues that we give off when conversing that also communicate ideas or feelings. See, now that's where the women come into this post, with this talk of feelings. Women are said to have better intuition. I think there is something to this, based on their better abilities to glean the feelings of others from nonverbal cues and tone of voice too. I'm not saying men don't do this, but, hey, try hiding thoughts from your wife vs. vice versa.
I've had an Oriental woman tell me, after living here for most of a decade, that she still had a real problem communicating with American women friends. It's not her English that's the problem. She just finds their faces so much different from those in her country that she cannot read them, as she would like to. She "can't tell if they're lying or not". For most guys, I guess, we go a little more by their track record than the looks on their faces.
Women get a lot out of reading faces. How is that working out for them during this face-diapering era, is what I wonder? I guess the tone of the speaker gets through, as muffled as the words may be, but all those facial expressions are cut at least in half. They've got the eyes and eyebrows, but not the mouth and nose to go by (if you're wearing it right).
This has got to be wreaking havoc with the whole system that women have. Isn't this world of the masked more stressful for most of them? That is, unless they themselves have got something to hide.
"Boy, Melissa sure seemed a little stand-offish just then. I think she's mad about something I said last week." "How do you know, Honey?" "It was the way she... she just looked like ... hell, I don't know. I'm just pulling that out of my ass."
ADDENDUM: Per comments here by E.H.Hail, a Mr. Mark Changizi has written much on this subject. He is a cognitive scientist by trade and science writer whose field includes study of the ideas Mr. Hail had in the comment below. This particular problem (of many) with this Kung Flu masking deal is right up his alley. Here is a site with a thread of blurbs and videos from Mr. Changizi on this subject.
* I hate to even write that term, "Executive Order" - it's kind of upsetting to any Constitutionalist's stomach.

PS Update: Lifeline Screening still a Scam!
Posted On: Saturday - March 6th 2021 8:15PM MST
In Topics: Music Scams
This post is repeat of the same warning we posted 2 1/2 years ago. I looked over that post, and even then it'd been a couple of years since I got pissed off at Lifeline Screening for their rip-off of a service. I explained this rip-off in that post, so I won't repeat that, but again, just yesterday I again got mail from these fuckers. That takes some gall. Don't they read Peak Stupidity?!
All their mail is doing is encouraging me to write posts about Lifeline Screening being a SCAM, especially because they even had this "FINAL NOTIFICATION" wording on the outside of the envelope. That's something that should be warning enough that you're dealing with shysters (unless you really did miss out on about 6 car payments.. but you got an excuse for everything now: It was the COVID).
John Derbyshire had a post today, taken from his Radio Derb podcast, that discussed a little about the Royal scam over in his old country. It reminded me that it's time for some music from Steely Dan and the Royal Scam. This album from 1976 was the first one I'd heard from this great band.
Kid Charlemagne is about a drug dealer, well more like a drug maker too. Per wiki, the band said that the lyrics are loosely based on the LSD-producing chemist Owsley Stanley, from out in San Francisco in the 1960s.
Normally, I'd just put down Donald Fagen and Walter Becker as the only 2 band members, because they were the only constants. Lots of session musicians and that sort played with them too, but they'd change out. Larry Carlton, with that great jazz guitar lead ought to be mentioned, and here is the band for this particular song:
Donald Fagen – lead vocals, organ
Larry Carlton – lead guitar
Walter Becker – rhythm guitar
Don Grolnick – Fender Rhodes electric piano
Paul Griffin – Hohner Clavinet
Chuck Rainey – bass
Bernard Purdie – drums
Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Venetta Fields, Clydie King, Sherlie Matthews – background vocals

Clothing Selection under Communism

In Topics: Commies Humor Salesmen Hildabeast China Female Stupidity
You really gotta wonder about women voters. They trend Socialist in general, and once you go Socialist, you're on the road to the hard stuff. Socialism is a gateway ideology. I understand that women vote this way due to FEELINGS and compassion, but if they just were to think a little bit ahead and really envision Communism, they should recoil at one of its worst evils. See, Communists are known to wear "dull, olive-drab clothing", and often clothing selection is limited under Communism.
Women HATE dull colors and HATE HATE HATE wearing the same clothes again and again, say like just 2 weeks since the last time or something. Can you imagine how it was for them during the hard-core Commie era in Red China? It must have been a real struggle session. "Honey, three of our women's Red Guard unit were wearing the same jacket as me, and there were only four of us, and we all had the same hairstyles! It was SO embarrassing!"
"We have both colors, Ma'am, blue AND grey."
Peak Stupidity's take on the high fashion marketing business in 1967 China:
Distraught Chinawoman after a particularly bad day of revolutionary work bumps into high-level Chinaman cadre from The People's Heavy Jacket Factory #2:Now for a man under Communism, if you can get past the family destruction, economic devastation, purges, and gulags, the fashion situation is quite nice. "Sir, my t-shirt, outer shirt, pants, underwear, socks, and shoes are all worn out. I would like replacements please." "Here." "That was easy!" [Mashes People's Stationary Store #1 big Red Guard button]
"Oh, I'm so sorry. It's just that... sob... today was so horrible! During the
People's Red Guard Court, they hung a man for selling flowers by the road, and ... sob... we couldn't get full asphyxiation for 5 minutes... and then, he was so heavy, and I only had one man help me drag his body to the pig trough... then I got my shoes muddy... and ... "
"Miss,... what's your patch say... Miss... Qlin Tang, is it? Let me wipe your tears, I have one more square of toilet paper I'd been saving... but you ... oh, what a nice jacket."
"This is from the People's Heavy Jacket Factory # 2 catalog, Sir. Do you recognize it?"
"Do I?! This jacket is perfect for a hard-working revolutionary. Deep hand-sown outer pockets hold pounds of colored chalk for writing Big-Character posters to hang on the necks of Capitalist Roaders... yet, this jacket, made out of fine American Red-Cross emergency blanket material, is still light enough to wear through all day struggle sessions in those warm Peking summers. The look says 'rugged Communist Revolutionary on a Long March', yet it is elegant enough for a Gang of Four Politburo banquet. Created with fine Chinese craftspeopleship, it features a wide collar, perfect for those nights spent under the stars at a Manchurian pig farm, an inner pocket for that Little Red Book, and comes in blue or grey."
"Why, you're, you're ..."
"Mao Peterman, Miss Tang. You know, a woman like you ... The Inner Party could really use another concubine like you, Qlin Tang."

Warrior Outreach
Posted On: Friday - March 5th 2021 2:09PM MST
In Topics: General Stupidity US Feral Government
I saw a sign recently in a hotel advertising some "Warrior Outreach" program. It had to do with the soldiers from a nearby Army base helping the community with this or that. Oh, sure, it's great to be charitable, but I wouldn't really call it that. After all, it's the taxpayer's money that supports the whole shebang, in a big way, and they are just spreading some of our money around, errr, charitably. I would keep this in mind next time the military begs for a budget increase, had I any say in the matter.
That's not what ticked me off, though, about the poster and other armed forces wording I've seen. It seems that soldiers, sailors, and airmen in this social experiment of a military we have these days are now WARRIORS!
(This image is from a long-ago post of ours, "There's battle lines being drawn"... The official military.)
If it makes these men and women feel like they are living the lives of Comanche chiefs*, well, more power to 'em, but it's so far from the case as to be ludicrous. Most get into it for employment, training for a useful skill on the taxpayer's dime, a way to travel the world, and/or to save up tuition money. They can get "thank you for your service" accolades from the public and discounts at restaurants and motels. Occasionally, some of them do end up in precarious situations with the backing of still the most powerful military in the world, for the purpose of attacking some out of the way country for the purposes of ... democracy, yeah, that's the ticket.

Good signs from Donald Trump?
Posted On: Friday - March 5th 2021 8:46AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Trump
On the VDare site today I see this encouraging article A Good Sign: Trump Adviser Says The Donald's New Focus Is Immigration. Yeah, that's pretty encouraging, I mean, it'd be if the year were 2017 or '18 or even '20 with a Hail Mary effort, from Donald Trump when he was the FREAKING PRESIDENT!
Lord knows that Peak Stupidity has given President Trump some well-deserved criticism over the years, but then we've praised his below-the-radar efforts too. (See Said in Spanish - Allan Wall with some encouragement, Give Trump a break!, and President Donald Trump: the Bad, **the Good**, and the Ugly with most of the info. gleaned from VDare.) The problem is that, because Trump was no strategic thinker, meaning he got almost no help from the Congress, the American people (because he didn't ask), and even his own staff, most of his moves are ones that are easily and completely reversible.
Zhou Bai Dien started this reversal process his first day in office. "That was easy!" [mashes big red Staples button] In the meantime, I see from this article and a previous one by Washington Watcher II, Trump Hits Immigration High Notes At CPAC, that Trump is all about the immigration problem now. OK, so, in 2 years (because this article is more about '22 elections) we can get some long overdue changes, right? In the meantime, a couple of more million anti-White lefty immigrants will be here, and that's if we're very lucky! If any kind of Amnesty passes, it'll be lots more. So, for 2 years, the GOP can do what they do, which is making sure the ctrl-left gets only 2/3 of what they want done, done. Then, with worse demographics and an D-squad embolden by cheating that can't be fought except by INSURRECTIONISTS!, we'll all go hopefully to the voting booths... Sure, I'm encouraged...
We're not voting our way out of this. It's great that Trump, as an individual public speaker now, is reminding Americans of this existential problem. Many Americans really may have forgotten or think that President Trump had solved this problem. ("Last I recall, he said he would, and he got elected, so... haven't read much about it since ...") I am not at all on writer Washington Watcher II's case. He is one of my favorite writers on the great VDare site, and has, in fact, laid out the evil that is the group occupying the Biden Administration now, just the other day in Touting Their Immigrant Ancestry, Biden’s Appointees Commit To Open Borders—And the Great Replacement. VDare writers are ever hopeful and encouraging, and they can't exactly write about things that need to be done outside the political realm.
I just wrote this post because I couldn't comment on VDare. My comment would have been: "That's great, Mr. Trump, but WTF were you doing the last 4 years, asshole?"

Trannies in the Movies - Dog Day Afternoon
Posted On: Thursday - March 4th 2021 7:14PM MST
In Topics: Genderbenders Movies
The movie Dog Day Afternoon was one of the 2 references on which Peak Stupidity based our 1st attempt at a screenplay, in the post All I hear of, is Lady O'Gaga.... This post is not very much of a review, as I've watched many thousands of movies, and I can't be on here reviewing them all. However, there's something woke before its time in that movie, and that recent post made me think about it.
I don't want to spoil the movie for the reader. That's not because I'm such a nice guy but more because Dog Day Afternoon is a really good movie. I'd put it in my top 100 out of those many thousands. The movie is about a bank robbery and resulting standoff on a hot summer's day in New York City. Al Pacino stars as, Sonny one of the two (originally, 3) bank robbers. The other guy is Sal (shown in the images in that Lady O'Gaga post).
What I remembered is this: Dog Day Afternoon has a scene with a guy who wants to change into a woman. No, the word "transition" was not used, because, and here's the amazing thing, the movie is from 1975! This crazy stuff was brought up 46 years ago. Here's the guy, Leon, talking about it*:
Leon : I couldn't explain the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who told me that I was a woman trapped in a man's body. Well, so, right away Sonny wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he going to get that? 2,500 dollars. My God, he was in hock up to his ears already.Twenty-five hundred dollas! I'm dyin' here, Sal. Haha, that was before the big inflation of the late 1970s through 1980.
The thing is, this scene wasn't at all important to the movie. It could have been left out, and the movie would have been just as good. It just made for a pretty weird interlude. I don't really think the makers of Dog Day Afternoon were particularly "woke", as you'd call it now. I just read information about the book (by Patrick Mann, never read it) here on Goodreads, and this bit is in the book too. Maybe he was the "woke" one. I don't know if the movie makers were trying to push some new thing, as part of an agenda, or to get more accolades maybe, or just be true to the book. Movies don't HAVE to do that though. Some don't even come close, and most viewers don't complain.
Anyway, I hadn't thought about that scene in years, as much as I recommend this movie to people. Dog Day Afternoon has got that one weird-ass scene, but the rest is what you'd expect from 1975 - no PC BS, yea! It's suspenseful, but something of a drama too, with quite a few bits of humor in it. I don't know if it was supposed to be humorous, but this scene at the beginning where robber # 3 just chickens out and goes home is funny to me. This scene will give you a taste of the movie:

Hail-to-You says "ALL LIFE-YEARS MATTER!"
Posted On: Thursday - March 4th 2021 7:30AM MST
In Topics: Websites Kung Flu Stupidity
Now if we could just get together a small protest group with enough intelligence to understand the math and what E.H. Hail means by that, without real jobs, so they can stay out in the streets for a coupla' months, we could get somewhere with this ... all 43 of us. Nah, I like the slogan, but don't quit your day job.
There are, of course, millions of people who can understand the very simple calculations that Mr. Hail uses to get a low-ball estimate (more difficult to take in other factors that make it worse) of all the life-years lost due to the LOCKDOWNS and other parts of the Kung Flu PanicFest.
In "All Life-Years Matter” — On the Corona-Panic’s social and economic costs vs. Covid-deaths; an Appeal to the Pro-Panic side, Mr. Hail compares the lowest estimate of the damage and basically elimination of social and economic life-years* versus the number of life-years lost due to actual deaths (many only supposedly) FROM the Kung Flu. It's no contest - just in the economic sense, he comes up with the Panic costing 5 to 10 X (30 million vs. 2.5-5 million)** as much.
There are already 24 comments there, so have at it. (I think Mr. Hail's and my Blog-owners/other comment ratio is equivalent to Peak Stupidity's. I enjoy chiming in, and I'm sure he does too.)
* That's not to mention the babies never born, as he does, who would have a full life ahead of them.
** No, don't correct my math. I am just sticking to the very low precision of the numbers, understandably so. Writing "6 to 12" just makes it seem like we have enough precision to say "it's not 5 and it's not 13".

Is Zhou Bai Dien feeling generous today?
Posted On: Wednesday - March 3rd 2021 6:11PM MST
In Topics: University Global Financial Stupidity Economics Zhou Bai Dien
Note: This school loan business is really domestic financial stupidity rather than Global Financial Stupidity. However, the financial stupidity going on is pretty much global is scope (the government of China, for example, performs many of the same acts of stupidity as does the US Feral Gov't), and, well, you work with the Topic Key you have, or something...
The 2 headlines above give us the gist of the University Student Loan problem in this country. It's a pretty serious amount of money, 1 1/2 Trillion Dollars is. Peak Stupidity was about to get into a rant about the causes of the problem and proposed solution, but I noted we'd done this before, about 1 1/2 years ago, in the series "Student loan debt and forgiveness": Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3*.
The idea of the US Gov't waving it's magic money wand and forgiving these debts has been bandied about for a few years. From a writer name Rick Moran at the PJ Media site, Student Loan Debtors Refusing to Pay Off Debt in Anticipation of Biden Forgiveness. The article gives some facts about the political situation, but the author is wishy-washy in his opinion on the forgiveness "solution". I'd have expected a bit better from PJ Media.
I suppose since Presidents and Congress just blow a half Trillion here and a half Trillion there, I can see why people (other than the students in debt themselves) may think "oh, sure, why the hell not? Poor kids, starting out in life ..." Yeah, well, you may want to go back to our Part 3 of that series linked-to above, but let me give the gist of it. It's not just the money blown by the taxpayers for students to knock out 4 or 5 years at Indoctrination U, some having a big long party in the process.
There are 2 big moral hazards. One is that the students who DID try to be responsible, maybe forgoing all the partying and buying of nice vehicles, maybe working in the evenings and summers to help keep the final number down to only $15,000 or so, have a right to be very pissed off. It's not just that they will be pissed. Socialism pisses off a lot of people by screwing them - "Welcome to the Party, Pal!" No, the bigger problem is that these people will have been taught that "responsibility DOES! NOT! PAY!" and even "responsibility means GETTING! SCREWED!" From then on, I wouldn't blame them if they became just as irresponsible as the rest of them.
Secondly, the Universities will have the current big benefit of guaranteed-to-collect high student tuition due to the US Feral Gov't's loan guarantees doubled down on. From now on, nobody will get all responsible and protest or even balk at tuition increases. "C'mon, don't be a sap - only suckers pay loans back."
The headline of the PJ Media article shows that there is an advance moral hazard, if I may, going on, just due to mention of loan forgiveness plans. I see that "Some student loan debtors have decided to have a “debt strike” and refuse to pay on their loans until Biden acts." Great.
Yeah, student loan forgiveness means College is FREE, FREE I tells ya'! By free we really mean "free" ... till what can't go on, won't go on. The shit WILL hit the fan. We've all read the economist's maxim "there is no free lunch." A Peak Stupidity corollary goes "there is no free lunch, unless you are OK with having pieces of shit that are flying off a fan for lunch."
One more thing that pissed me when I read here, there, and everywhere: Nowadays the President is just assumed by everyone to have powers that were not permitted for him by the US Constitution, such as MAKING FREAKING LAWS! Oh, that's what Executive Orders are about, right? I mean, if the media discussed Presidents using the bully pulpit or pushing for such and such a thing, that would sit better in my stomach. This is the way it is now (same article):
Biden has yet to issue an executive order on student loan debt. Many Democrats are urging the president to cancel $50,000 in debt with the stroke of a pen. But Biden says he would much rather involve Congress in the decision. [My bolding]How very kind of him to involve the Congress! This country's just ... too damn far gone.

Stevie Wonder going back to the Mudderland
Posted On: Tuesday - March 2nd 2021 5:49PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Lefty MegaStupidity Music Race/Genetics
Face it, with their ungratefulness and almost innate leftist stupidity, there are many millions of people who we feel really ought to go back. Some are not even close to being newcomers, but, hey, they are still quite welcome, as far as I'm concerned.
I would never have said that about Stevie Wonder. I've like lots of his music, going back to the 1970s. His Boogie On Reggae Woman is a hell of a good tune with a great funky sound. Though that post was from last summer, I remember using that song to test the youtube embedment process (still not working on Internet Exploder, AFAIK) back when I was putting the
However, in a case of blind stupidity, as reported by a site called Page Six, Stevie Wonder [is] moving to Ghana to protect grandchildren from racism.
Stevie Wonder, good old Stevie Wonder ... worried about his grandchildren .. racism is not .. it makes you wonder, doesn't it? I guess that whole Ebony and Ivory thing ain't workin' for old Stevie. He's fine with the Ebony but tired of the Ivory. I wonder what's up with old Stevie. Oh, man, now I've got this guy doing Trump again in my head. Make it stop! Commenter PeterIke quips "I bet he's not Ghana like it there."
Anyway, his career is over for me, as the last hit I recall (aside from the duet with Sir McCartney cited above) is I Just Called to Say I Love You, and wiki says that's from 1985, so I'm just not gonna let myself get all bent out of shape about this. From the short article:
The “Sir Duke” crooner, 70, told Oprah Winfrey in a recent interview that the decision came out of the growing racial injustice he believes is pervading American society.I would say "take a look around you, and see where the racial injustice is" but he can't. He can listen though.
You wonder how he and his grandchildren will get treated in Ghana if they ever find out that Stevie's real name is Stevland Hardaway Morris. Consider yourself doxxed, bitch. They may not take too kindly to people with names like that, or if, say the US dollar dies, and the grandchildren don't live like Kangs and Queens anymore over there. I think that's what it's about anyway, being a famous big fish in a little scummy pond.
What I've seen all over the place lately is people from Ghana who've moved HERE. In fact people from all over the place have moved here, such that I met a woman at the auto parts store from Paraguay.* Paraguay! I was probably the only customer who knows where the place is on the globe. She liked that, and she's pretty good, but seriously, is Paraguay an auto parts mecca to where we need AP-1 Visas to get more people doing the looking up of make, year, model, and engine size on the computer that Americanos just can't do?
That digression over with, you go on, Stevie and family, and make good over there. If you come back with your tail between your legs, write us a good song about that. In the meantime we can get your stuff for free off youtube, like right here, one of my favorite romantic songs:
All Stevie Wonder's best music was from the 1970s. This one was from the Talking Book album from 1973. The first half of the first verse was sung by one Jim Gilstrap and the next half by the smoothed-voice Lani Groves. I think these two sound much smoother than Mr. Wonder, but he wrote the song, sang the rest, and played those great keyboards, so kudos to him on this one, my 2nd favorite of his songs.
* No, she wouldn't tell me exactly where the Bushes are holed up. I think it's in one of those gated ex-Nazi subdivisions. They're getting long in the tooth, but those ex-Nazis are still really strict about the H.O.A. fees and bringing the garbage cans back up to the house by 5 PM. Mach Shnell, Beaners!

March Mask Madness - Part 1
Posted On: Tuesday - March 2nd 2021 9:18AM MST
In Topics: Curmudgeonry Kung Flu Stupidity
Peak Stupidity had our 13 part series* called "Scenes from the Kung Flu Summer re-Panic" this past summer (of course). One can find them all with the Kung Flu Stupidity Topic Key. I just looked and only 3 out of them did not specifically involve the face masks. There's a lot more to this PanicFest than the masks. The worst is the economic damage done by the LOCKDOWNS, but we have written about that too (note our discussion about hotel/motel closings). We will shoot for more posts on this.
LOCKDOWNS are not as easy to fight on the small-scale. However, the masking stupidity is. We can ignore the face masking up to our personal limits, and the wearing of them in strange situations and for obviously no benefit shows an inordinate amount of compliance, something I'd always thought American were not supposed to be too keen on. I've been focusing on this personally, so this blog will too.
We've got lots of posts to come in this series, most of them hopefully humorous to not just the blogger, but the reader too. That all said, this one, now that I think of it, is not about the masks but the surface contamination worries, which have, hehe, resurfaced at the library (please
Here's the deal: I didn't even know the library had reopened till a month or more later. You can't go in there though (too bad for the bums, seriously). The nice librarians will come outside and take your request for a book or video. The material we get is stuff we put on hold on the website - that works pretty well. They don't even ask for ID or a library card - too many germs, I believe is the reason, which is something I just now thought about. Hey, I keep a clean wallet, ma'am. I've got nothing older than an old Blockbuster video gift card and a receipt for my projection TV in there.
I would go up without a mask, it being outside and all, but they got on me about it. I will put it on for the 1 or 2 minutes. Well, this time I had 2 videos to return. Worried about forgetting them, I put them on top of the couple of book shelves outside. The lady, who I know pretty well, brought out my new items, and I said, "here you go, before I forget".
I did forget something. The lady came out all worried, asking "wait, you're returning these?" "Yeah." "These have to go into the drive-through boxes." Though I'd done it 10 times already, I really had forgotten that part, rather than trying to infiltrate the building with Covid-one-niner germs on purpose. As I've noted in Scenes from the Kung Flu Summer re-Panic - Part 7, I come from a family of non-drive-throughers. It is still new to me to have to sit in the car when I can simply get out and take care of something in person.
However, this was obviously a bigger faux pas than I first though. "I've touched the items" or something like that, was what the librarian said then. Was she really scared? Was I supposed to feel bad? If she was really scared than I guess so, but then with face masks on, you can't tell about people (subject for another part in this series). "We've got to sanitize everything..." she was telling me. OK, got it. All the stuff comes into the box, gets sprayed off with something or other, and then can come in. All the material on the shelves, and the shelves themselves, are clean, free and clear of the Kung Flu. The air inside is pristine! OK, "was". My two videos had fucked up the whole library.
I get it. Were this the Black Plague 2.0 or Ebola, I would want to see all that and more done. I'd probably just not go to the library. Instead, of reading new books and watching new videos, I'd be holed up in the house writing more frequent blog posts, and eating 3 month-old Top Ramen and beans with the family. This system in place at the 'brary is done to make everyone BE SAFE or at least FEEL SAFE. Well, I do feel bad about screwing up their nice system, the more I think about it. However, the lady goes home too. She probably has a family and germs are all over the house. I really think she and the library patrons should lighten the hell up and get a life.
However, it's this "surfaces full of germs" thing again in a new strain. From now on, I will remember to drops books off in the big box. I just hope I'm not in such big trouble that I'll get a visit at home from Mr. Bookman.
The Seinfeld TV show had quite a few extremely funny guest stars over its years. Ben Stein, seen at the bottom of this post of ours is one, and this guy who plays Mr. Bookman is also a very favorite of mine. I usually don't give a damn who the actors are, but kudos to Philip Baker Hall for multiple LOLs here!
* I wrote the 1st one on July 1st when Season 2 of the PanicFest was just starting "cases, cases, cases!" was the theme then. The last one, Part 13, happened to be right after the start of Fall, and I really thought it might be all over then. Ooops...

All I hear of, is Lady O'Gaga...

... Lady O'Gaga, Lady O'Gaga.
No, I really don't hear anything about or from her, but I have read something about her and the kidnapping of her doggies. Oh, and whenever I read her name, that Queen song Radio Gaga comes into my head. It never fails, in fact. Because it's not one of my favorite Queen songs though, I won't feature it in this post.
Rather than that, Peak Stupidity will feature something completely different. This is a snippet of a proposed movie treatment*, or screen-play, of a film to be called The Pink Panther's Dog Day Afternoon.
All three hostages are in the house. From the dialog between Sal and the hostage negotiator on the phone with Sal first:
“Get that squad car off my driveway! One more move like that and the dogs get it!”
“Of course, Sir, that was a stupid move by the LAPD. We’ll be talking to them about that. (Sargeant, get your men away from the house, now!)… OK, I’m a hostage negoti... errr, your friend, and I’m here only to help you get everything you want, so the everyone can walk out of there nicely. Now, you say you want a pepperoni pizza for yourself and you need a 10 pound bag of Purina Puppy Chow and two cases of Fancy Feast. What should we bring for the dogs? Now, can you put the gun on the kitchen counter for me, Sal?”
“Yeah, they're French Bulldogs, so I want a case of canned escargot, extra large snails. Also, I want a jet ready to go for me at Van Nuys, with enough fuel to get me out of the country… to Wyoming. You got it, copper?! Also, do your dogs bite or sing?
“No, my dogs don’t bite or sing. Please, Sal, don’t do anything ra–“
BANG! BANG! BANG!
What’s happening in there, Sal?! Did you shoot one of the French bulldogs?
“No, that was Lady Gaga. I thought you said your dogs don’t sing!
“She’s not my dog. OK, the pizza and escargot are on the way.”
Man, writing a screenplay, ain't easy. Well, it's a work in progress. I've got Rob Reiner the Meathead looking at it right now - he may have some tweaks. In the meantime, I'm already thinking of changing it a little bit since Lady Gaga got her dogs back and is still singing.
If it's not funny at all, well, I hope it's just that you haven't watched either or both of the two movies, The Return of the Pink Panther, from 1976, starring the hilarious Peter Sellers, and Dog Day Afternoon, from 1975, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale as Sal.
Here's the great scene with Peter Sellers. I highly recommend Dog Day Afternoon. There's part of it that's got me planning on writing a review on it soon.
Seriously for a second, I understand the loss of one's pets, and really do feel for someone who has one taken like that. However, what about the poor dogwalker guy who got shot 4 times in the chest? Well, he's breathing on his own, at least, I just read.
Something I've learned from this is that the occupation of Dog Walker is not always a cush job like Diversity Coordinator or Peak Stupidity Blogger. I don’t know where it falls exactly in the list of dangerous occupations, but I’d guess it’d be somewhere between Bush Pilot and Nuclear Disaster Clean-up Coordinator, right now probably # 5 with a bullet.
If I ever change careers to be a Dog Walker, I will refuse to service ANY dogs worth more than 20 bucks apiece. Oh, and Labs, because they are known to get Stockholm Syndrome when they get kidnapped.
Catnapping, well they're on their own. They can take care of themselves pretty well, and if it happened, you may expect a call from the kidnappers offering YOU money to come get them back.

Doing the standing up that White People just
Posted On: Monday - March 1st 2021 11:06AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity California Race/Genetics
This post will continue with the thoughts discussed last week in Behave yourselves - 2nd-Class Citizens*. The conclusion was that a White Man will not get a fair shake if he gets the now-typical viral-video treatment or Lyin' Press coverage when defending himself from aggression in public.
Black people in America have gotten extremely entitled-feeling, due to many decades of Government and Big-Biz favoritism and the egging on of this by the Lyin' Press. In the meantime, Whites have become a much smaller proportion of the American population, with > 50 million immigrants and their children being added over that same time period. (As I recall, it has gone from a mid-80% number to the mid-60%, and it's quite a bit lower for the numbers of young people.)
These immigrants become 1st-Class Citizens upon arrival**, at least the 90% of them or so who aren't white do. Therefore, they do not have the same worries about anarcho-tyranny in the legal system, excoriation in the Lyin' Press, career termination by the Big-Biz HR ladies***, and cancellation by the "TECH" Totalitarians (VDare term) if they try to defend themselves here, as 1st-Class Citizens. Nope, they've got that P.O.C. card in their wallets or purses.
These newcomers can do the standing up that White People just can't do. For some, that seems like a great thing. It's not like it was the plan though. Massive immigration was implemented for reasons of cheap labor, dilution of votes, and the Globalist's wet dream, the crushing of the middle class. Still, people like Ron Unz in California may be pretty pleased with the way it's worked out. In that State, (mostly) the Hispanics have done the work of taking over the formerly black neighborhoods and doing the virtual rounding-up-and-moving-out that the White Californians just couldn't do.
The Hispanics, though still more violent than White people, have gotten that street crime down to a dull roar. They are a macho crowd (never mind those silly Latinx college, errr boys?). They will stand up for themselves. Then the Chinese and the •Indians are peaceful folks, sticking with the graft, corruption, and white-collar stuff. It's all good, right? See, now they've got their State back over there in Cali.
Wait, who's got his State back? Talking about demographic replacement, the White population has almost been replaced in that State within 50 years. (See Mr. E.H. Hail on "Who Lost California?".) So, that beautiful piece of land, one the called Paradise, no longer belongs to the people who settled and built it. Sure, the elites in Cali can enjoy their relatively more peaceful lives there, but what of their children and grandchildren, who will be growing up in a foreign country?
Are the newcomers going to take care of the place the way the White Californians have? Not as far as the environment goes. Most of the newcomers don't have the same respect for the land. In an infrastructure sense, perhaps things can be kept running. How about in a sense of a unified high-trust society? Nah.
Lastly, even if it were worth it to import people just to stand up to the aggressive black people, keep in mind that they aren't standing up for us, just themselves. ("C'mon guys, it's all tribalism nowadays!". ) As the many, many, Steve Sailer posts on this subject have shown us, when these disputes between groups of 1st-Class citizens happen, they are often settled by blaming it all on the White People.... somehow... yeah, it works. It'll work till the White People are gone, or even after. Bitch, bitch, bitch... hopefully they won't hear it from their new home on a planet in orbit around Alpha Centauri****.
* BTW, I wrote that term last Thursday, and a couple of days later, I ran across the use of it by Christopher Caldwell in his book The Age of Entitlement, near the end. This book was recommended by commenter E.H. Hail, and a review is imminent.
**Hell, the illegal ones now don't even have to worry about all that silly Kung Flu testing business.
*** See also Part 2, Exhibit A - Toby Flenderson, and Part 3.

I would normally put this caveat or disclaimer at the bottom in a footnote, but this time it's important to me that the reader read this part first:
The Unz Review website has been my 2nd favorite for the last 3 years or so. (#1 is Peak Stupidity of course!) I mean that more to indicate which site I spend more entertaining time on, not especially which site in the world has the most truthful material. For the unz site, which is one of only 4 on our blogroll, I spend more time on it by a long shot over any other site but right here.
Unz.com is an extremely well-working site, made by a very intelligent guy who's done more than his share of software work. I know some commenters here don't agree, but the commenting system is my favorite of any other I've seen in functionality (yes, of course it beats hell out of PS in that sense).
The Unz Review does a tremendous service in the name of the truth, or the search for it, anyway, in archiving loads of writer's older work, links to videos, and entire books. This is material that could and probably would, the way things are going, get lost. I use "get lost" here not in the passive sense, but as in the woke American society purposefully losing them!
I admire Ron Unz for being a truly stand-up guy in regards to publishing lots of material that most others are scared to publish. Not only that, but, even for the material below - the Kung Flu PanicFest - Mr. Unz will continue publishing work by writers who are 180 degrees off from his opinions. We know his opinions both from his own (usually very long) articles and from his occasional comments in the various threads. (He moderates very lightly, with exceptions for rare bouts.)
Note the titles of the Ron Unz-authored articles shown above, just a small sampling of hundreds, taken from a screen-shot I made in summer '18*. Yeah, they're controversial, as are most of the articles/columns by the dozens, or maybe near 100, writers on the blog. Now that you've noted those 3 titles, I'll get to my point which is my perplexity about the mind of this guy, right now, during this life-changing Kung Flu PanicFest.
As I wrote already, this PanicFest is no exception for Mr. Unz on his policy of letting all sides chime in. I see Ron Unz’s opinions as very open-minded, but most open-minded when the opinion is anti-Americans (note that’s plural) in any way at all. He’ll believe any weird shit that makes Americans look like the worst people in the world. I don’t get that, but that's not my beef here.
What I find amazing is that with all his highly-researched journalism on all sorts of cover-ups, false narratives, and schemes in American history, Ron Unz does not see the one right in front of his face happening RIGHT NOW. Instead, what does he do? With purely circumstantial evidence, he comes up with the big conspiracy that the American military or Deep State created the Kung Flu, infected the Chinese via a sports team that “just happened” to be in Wuhan. He's written a dozen or more posts or so on this conspiracy theory of his, to be found among his own articles here**.
I mean, it ain’t like there’s not been a lot of back-and-forth travel to China and that Wuhan isn't a big-ass city even for China. What also “just happened”‘ to be in Wuhan was one of just a handful of high-level infectious disease labs, finished less than 2 years before the virus. Apparently, Mr. Unz’s conspirators were smart enough to create the disease and infect China but not to foresee that the disease could spread around the world, including America, via, I dunno, New York City or somewheres?? BTW, it's not like I'm even completely sure that Ron Unz is wrong in this. It's just that his fixation about the origin of the Kung Flu is distracting him from any analysis of the PanicFest itself.
My point about Ron Unz is that his talent and efforts are being wasted on the conspiracy stuff. We have this huge nation-destroying (or accelerant of it, at least) PanicFest going on.
It involves the Lyin’ Press, though not as a conspiracy – they are too stupid for that. It involve government officials at the high Federal level, State level, etc. It involves medical professionals of all sorts, giving all sorts of conflicting important “expert” advice. There’s a load of money involved, with incentives for it to continue and disincentives for people that don’t accept the panic. It involves a great increase in the Police State/Totalitarianism in this country and others.
If ever there were a big story that could rival that of WWI and WWII being instigated by certain people or the people behind the implementation of Communism in Russia, who shot JFK (or JR, for that matter) or. any one of Ron’s areas of historical research that many appreciate, woudn’t this Kung Flu PanicFest be it? Yet, Mr. Unz is so into his “who started it?” conspiracy theory instead. I’m just wondering if that’s just an anti-Americans and pro-Chinese attitude coming though. Be that as it may, this is the biggest story of the century, with huge amounts of political implications. Wake up, Ron Unz! This is happening NOW, Ron, Right Here, Right Now (Unfortunately, it's not as bright a happening as the fall of the Commies in Europe, the subject of that Jesus Jones' song).
PS: Why pick on poor Ron Unz? OK, he's not exactly poor, first of all. There are plenty of Americans that ought to be high-profile opinion-leaders for the Anti-Panic side. Ron Unz coulda' been a contender. We could use a guy like him on our side, not in his current capacity as a source of another anti-all-things-American conspiracy theorist.
* I was searching for images for this post, and I found this one already uploaded. It works fine for this post.
** I didn't link directly to the posts, not because of any animosity about it, but just because he's got lots of other work there. You'll have to scan through anything with a title containing "China", "Wuhan", "Ft. Dietrik" (don't ask), and/or "COVID".
