The Legend of a Civilization
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
A civilization can be viewed as a legend that is historically extended over several centuries and sometimes millennia and narrates the saga of millions or billions of people from the past and present. When the civilization is full of energy and is on the rise, its legend will flow like a thriller and an epic love story; when it has lost its vitality and is declining and falling, its legend will flow like a tragedy and a horror story. The norms of culture, which include the moral, political, religious, and artistic ideas, are embedded in the legend as the myriad subplots. People get t...

<b>bob somerby</b>, the daily howler - 15 hours ago
*SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2021* *...and when the heck did he know it?:* We've spent a few minutes this morning revisiting some basic information about the* Clinton* impeachment vote. We may post that information later. Right now, before today's session starts, we'll consider a basic pair of questions: What did the former commander know? And when the heck did he know it? None of what follows should have much bearing on an assessment of the former commander-in-chief. It does shed light on the way we the people are propagandized on "cable news" under current arrangements. What did th...

Bienvenido Oplas Jr, Government and Taxes - 16 hours ago
* My column in BusinessWorld, February 9, 2021. The issues of no disconnection for months, and electricity subsidy for the “lifeline” consumers extended for another 30 years until 2051, have elicited varied reactions from many legislators, energy players and the public. Here are recent reports on this subject plus related stories published in *BusinessWorld*. 1. “Due process not followed in FiT adjustment, NGO claims” (Feb. 1). 2. “NREB confirms higher quota for contracted RE power” (Feb. 5). 3. “Palace approves two more months of no disconnection for poor power consumers” (Feb. ...
Saturday Snippet: Hyperinflation in Weimar Germany
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago
In his excellent study "When Money Dies: The Nightmare of Deficit Spending, Devaluation, and Hyperinflation in Weimar Germany", Adam Ferguson lays out in graphic detail what it was like for ordinary citizens to have to live with a worthless currency that decayed further in value every second they held on to it. In the light of our discussion about the current threat of hyperinflation earlier this week, I thought it might be worthwhile to illustrate at least some of its effect on society. I've chosen a chapter from relatively early in the book, when the effects of hyperinfla...

A Trumpian Defence
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
Donald Trump finally got the lawyers he wanted. Their defence of Donald was, indeed, Trumpian. Dana Milbank writes: They misstated legal precedents. They invented facts. They rewrote history. Trump lawyer Bruce Castor, panned for his rambling opening argument Wednesday, closed the argument Friday by confusing Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The personal injury lawyer, Michael Vander Veen -- who sued Trump last year, claiming that Trump's insistence that the election had been stolen was based on "no evidence" -...
Millions Dead: The Three Most Horrific Civil War Ever
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, World* History is filled with civil wars that were truly anything but civil. During his inaugural address last month, President Joe Biden called for unity and to “end this uncivil war.” Whether he can actually heal a divided nation seems unlikely. It is now easy to suggest the words were hollow. Calling for unity is one thing, yet Biden has shown almost no willingness to compromise and has pledged to “go it alone” if Republican lawmakers won’t support him. And yet, despite the fact that the United States will remain a deeply divided nation for the foresee...
