"The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge." - Elbert Hubbard

*"Half Life"* "We walk through half our life as if it were a fever dream, barely touching the ground, our eyes half open, our heart half closed. Not half knowing who we are, we watch the ghost of us drift from room to room, through friends and lovers never quite as real as advertised. Not saying half we mean or meaning half we say, we dream ourselves from birth to birth seeking some true self. Until the fever breaks and the heart can not abide a moment longer as the rest of us awakens, summoned from the dream, not half caring for anything but love." ~ Stephen Levine

Excessive debt doesn’t cause inflation
I cannot resist responding to a recent article by Stephanie Kelton, explaining the MMT view of public debt: Since the government’s budget deficit is, by definition, the difference between what it spends and what it collects in the form of taxes and other payments to itself, it may seem reasonable to call it “overspending” when […] The post Excessive debt doesn’t cause inflation appeared first on Econlib.
Quizzing our Queen of Catastrophism
By Paul Homewood h/t Dennis Ambler KEVIN Rudd once insisted that climate scientists scrutinise and evaluate climate papers purely on the studies’ scientific merit and, therefore, must be considered impartial and above reproach. That’s only half-true at best, considering the IPCC was established to investigate “the risk of human-induced climate change”, […]

"The Bail-In: How You and Your Money Will Be Parted During the Next Banking Crisis"
*"The Bail-In: How You and Your Money Will * *Be Parted During the Next Banking Crisis"* By John Lawrence "There will be no more taxpayer bailouts for the Big Wall Street banks. That much has been established by the lobbied to death Dodd-Frank banking reform (yeah, right) bill.

"Bail-ins And 'Your' Money"
*"Bail-ins And 'Your' Money"* by Lost In The Bamboo Forest "The banking collapse in Cyprus was a test for the rest of the world's financial systems to see whether they could get away with stealing from their customers rather than taking the now very unpopular taxpayer bailout route. In the prophetic words of Obama, the answer was "yes we can!" Cypriot citizens had approximately forty to sixty percent of their savings "donated" to the banks to prop up the criminal enterprise. Additionally, after getting half of their savings stolen, strict capital controls were instituted so that no... more »

"The Fundamentals Are Broken"
*"The Fundamentals Are Broken"* by David Stockman "All loans, in the eyes of honest borrowers, must eventually he repaid. All credit is debt. Proposals for an increased volume of credit, therefore, are merely another name for proposals for an increased burden of debt. They would seem considerably less inviting if they were habitually referred to by the second name instead of by the first." – Henry Hazlitt, "Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics" (1946) "Wall Street’s cheerleaders tried to chant into reality some sort of “all clear” signal ... more »
Falun Gong news
3-8-2019 In 2006, a Chinese surgeon’s ex-wife, Annie (alias), revealed that her ex-husband had participated in the forcible removal of corneas from about 2,000 Falun Gong prisoners of conscience at a hospital in Sujiatun in Northeast China. Annie, whose ex-husband is a brain surgeon, claimed he always carried a mobile phone with him and at any time it rang, day or night, he would immediately go to remove organs from Falun Gong practitioners, who were still alive at the time of extraction. https://www.theepochtimes.com/whistleblower-ex-husband-forcibly-removed-corneas-from-2000... more »

Nature has some truly weird critters . . .
I was astonished to learn that octopus and squid are different from any other critters in the sea - or on land - as far as their genetics are concerned. In a surprising twist, in April 2017 scientists discovered that octopuses, along with some squid and cuttlefish species, routinely edit their RNA (ribonucleic acid) sequences to adapt to their environment. This is weird because that's really not how adaptations usually happen in multicellular animals. When an organism changes in some fundamental way, it typically starts with a genetic mutation - a change to the DNA. Those genetic ... more »

When Will Gillibrand Drop Out? (Asking For A Friend)
National and early-state polling for New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has quite consistently been going up and down between zero and 1% since she announced she wants to be president a few months ago. The Harvard-Harris poll in late February showed her at zero percent, while the slightly more recent Morning Consult poll shows her at 1%. The good news for her is that voters don't know who she is (yet). The bad news is that when they find out about her, they walk away with a negative impression usually tied to her unfair treatment of Al Franken or her career flip-flops. She's do... more »
Egg on face
Also appearing on the episode of Politics Live with James Cleverly, (Wed 6th March) was a youthful Corbynista named Lara McNeill with the typical Momentum style, back-of-the-throat delivery. Non-stop, strident and assertive. Politics Live seems to include someone from Momentum or someone edgy from Novara Media in almost every episode, to drone on about austerity as if that policy was nothing to do with the profligacy of the ‘welfare state’ "no money left" Labour government. I mention this chiefly because despite obviously spending a great deal of time on Twitter Lara McNeill still ... more »
There is Nothin' Like a (Transgender) Dame
BBC *Woman's Hour* presenter Dame Jenni Murray - an impartial BBC feminist if ever there was one - has, for the past couple of years or so, been the target of furious (maybe testosterone-fuelled?) 'outrage' from transgender activists. Their latest no-platforming campaign against the famed feminist BBC dame has been to try and stop her speaking at the Leeds Literature Festival, where she intended to promote her latest (impartial) feminist book. The Leeds Literature Festival refused to ban her whilst being as grovelling as possible to the censorious trans activists as possible in t... more »

Virgin with Laughing Child terracotta sculpture
……. 3-9-2019 The sculpture has been in London's *Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum* since 1858 but had been credited to another artist, Antonio Rossellino, according to Francesco Caglioti, the Italian academic who is leading the new attribution. Late art historian and British Museum director John Pope-Hennessy pronounced that the sculpture was by Rossellino, but he had no real evidence for his ruling, claimed Caglioti. They focus on two crucial details: First, the voluminous, complicated draperies that flow over the Madonna's legs are similar to drawings of draperies da Vinci w... more »
Radical feminists are attacking heterosexuality
Ladies, if you ever thought feminists were a bit silly or just out of step, you really need to watch this Janice Fiamengo video. Second wave feminism has definitely flowed over the edge of sanity. Remember when "women's lib" was about women's sexual freedom--to be one of the guys? No more--that's just grandma's day. Now, "normal sex" is violence against women and abuse--even if married, and consent is non-consent. Wonder what the college permission forms men should be signing will look like? What new laws to "protect" women will Congress enact? Actually, heterosexuality is what t... more »
Why a So-Called "Limited" Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan Would Devastate the Planet
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, South Asia* Welcome to nuclear winter. Between February 26 and 27 in 2019, Indian and Pakistani warplanes launched strikes on each other’s territory and engaged in aerial combat for the first time since 1971. Pakistan ominously hinted it was convening its National Command Authority, the institution which can authorize a nuclear strike. The two states, which have retained an adversarial relationship since their founding in 1947, between them deploy nuclear warheads that can be delivered by land, air and sea. However, those weapons are inferior in nu... more »
Illegal immigration does hurt black and Hispanic Americans
"Both low- and high-skilled natives are affected by the influx of immigrants. But because a disproportionate percentage of immigrants have few skills, it is low-skilled American workers, including many blacks and Hispanics, who have suffered most from this wage dip. The monetary loss is sizable. The typical high school dropout earns about $25,000 annually. According to census data, immigrants admitted in the past two decades lacking a high school diploma have increased the size of the low-skilled workforce by roughly 25 percent. As a result, the earnings of this particularly vulnera... more »

Blasphemy Law for Britain
UK blasphemy law proposed by Baroness Warsi. The Baroness is miffed. All the hooha about antisemitism in the Labour Party has left the Muslims feeling sidelined. In a cunning bid for supremacy in the ongoing struggle for the top slot in the victimhood Olympics, Warsi and her allies have deemed it Islamophobic to express a negative view of Islam. Last week, on the Today Programme, Mohammed Amin, chair of the Conservative Party’s Muslim forum, spoke to Martha Kearney about institutional Islamophobia in the Conservative Party. “There are MPs that have made hurtful anti-Muslim commen... more »
