I Wrote About Russian Election Interference. Then I Was Trolled Online.
A colleague and I recently published an op-ed in Svenska Dagbladet, one of Sweden’s leading daily newspapers, about Russia’s attempts to influence elections in democratic countries. Among the Russian tactics we described was the use of “troll factories” to distribute misinformation. So perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised when we were attacked online, probably by Russian trolls, after our article posted. Our op-ed argued that, as countries become aware of foreign influence tactics and seek to counter them, nefarious actors are likely to pursue new technologies to disseminate p... more »

Towards a New Theory of Limiting Executive Power
Omitted thus far from the extensive academic literature on limiting executive power is hide-and-seek. Long thought to be a game for children, hide-and-seek plays a significant part of Bob Woodward's new book on the Trump Administration.

Jean-Paul Sartre had given the name *Melancholia* to the novel on which he was working in the 1930s. But his publisher for the book, Gaston Gallimard, felt that *Melancholia* was not commercial enough and he advised Sartre to find a better title. Sartre suggested *Factum on Contingency* as an alternative. This had been the title that he had given to his earliest notes for his book in 1932. He also came up with a longer title, *Essay on the Loneliness of the Mind*. But Gallimard was repelled by these suggestions. Sartre then suggested a new kind of title: *The Extraordinary Adventur... more »

Qanon - Locked and Loaded
It looks like the mass arrests are all shaping up for post labor day. This is Sunday night and we have the *pre event *music and a string of military helicopters. So far we appear to have no more sealed indictments but i may just be too early here. The fleeting numbers i saw suggests arrests underway already and this coincides with the actual mass roundup of 40,000 plus perpetrators. Stand by to educate the uninformed. The MSM will be cut free as well and they may start reporting again. . *Sep 2 2018* * 2065* * Q !!mG7VJxZNCI ID: 04b60a No.2848991 Sep 2 2018 15:27:38 (EST) * ... more »
Student Loans Are Starting To Bite The Economy
Quite seriously, the whole education racket needs to be allowed to pass through a grinding collapse. It has been able to pass on their greed onto the backs of government guaranteed debt in quite the same way as occurred in the health industry. We can assure you that the actual teachers have seen little of this at all. I firmly believe that it is critical to link pricing baskets by cross linking them and forcing a difficult process for adjustment. We do this for the obvious monopolies. It is not overly satisfactory there either, but it is still necessary. How would you like t... more »
The Chinese Have Infiltrated American Universities and Trump and Ted Cruz Are Moving to Counter
Yes, it is time to slam the door shut on soft spying opportunities. China has reached the point in its development that it can transition fully to modernity. No problem there. What needs to be confronted is the Chinese communist party itself which remains the only road to power. This includes the entire military as well. This apparatus has isolated itself from what is best described as the people's economy. It is their nature to meddle and intimidate their vulnerable citizens. Some may be oblivious, but surely not Mil Intel everywhere. However it has also served our in... more »
A Grateful Spirit
The reasons that no atheists exist on a battlefield is the not so unusual fact that the living do see the spirits of the dead and recognize them. Here we actually have just that but also a communication as well. The spirit world resides with us though we are generally blind. Reports tell us that whole imagined local architectures exist as well. Yet observed motion appears earth like. I do not think that this is sustained at all. Rather curious though. . *A Grateful Spirit* *Thursday, August 02, 2018 * *https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2018/08/a-grateful-spirit.html?* ... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* So Señor Trumpanzee has learned that when he searches google and other social media for "facts" that support his "achievements" and his far, far right conservative views, and even polls that show he is the "most popular president of all time, more popular than Lincoln" and loved by all, well, more often, much more often, the opposite information shows up. Trumpanzee finds that very bothersome and said so a few days ago. Damn if his computer doesn't reveal that reality has a liberal bias! Poor little Trumpanzee. He thinks google should be just like his rallies, Republica... more »
