I thought I had trashed this post yesterday because it is possible the husband really is disabled. I did something wrong and it posted. It still shows very sharp differences in manners, no matter the husband’s condition. In today’s world it’s probably better to ignore something like this or call security or the cops. ABN
I believe this is largely true with the addition of a strong cultural and probably genetic propensity for self-deception. Evolutionarily, self-deception is a ‘valuable’ trait for any tribe as it ensures tribal-bonding at the expense of others. ABN
…it may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Filing this under ‘humor’ just in case. ABN
UPDATE: Apparently this is a real video. Huckabee should step down immediately and all top members of this administration should publicly disavow his absurd kowtowing to the claims of an ancient cult masking as a religion. ABN
What people thought America could be – a beacon of democracy – was the last thing it became. In reality, it’s a corporate machine that has given rise to the Transnational Private Sector (TPS).
The TPS is a coalition of corporate giants, led by the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC) with firms like JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, alongside the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), Consumer-Industrial Complex (CIC), and Techno-Industrial Complex (TIC).
This collective force operates beyond borders, transcends nationality, and prioritizes profit over public welfare.
When Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, warned in October 2024 that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East could destabilize the global economy, he wasn’t just forecasting. He was asserting the TPS’s dominance over policy.
To understand this power, you have to examine the game theory driving the TPS’s clash with nations.
This concept that I have developed deliberately sets aside the idea of good, evil, right, or wrong. Geopolitical dynamics are examined through the lens of incentives, power, and measurable outcomes, not moral judgments. The focus is the strategic interplay of actors, stripped of ethical narratives.
___
Game theory provides a framework for understanding geopolitical strategies by analyzing the incentives that drive actors’ decisions.
There are two distinct game types: finite and infinite. Both these games shape global interactions. Finite games are zero-sum with defined endpoints, and clear winners and losers. It’s akin to a corporate quarter where profit maximization is the sole objective.
One player wins, the other loses.
Infinite games, conversely, lack a conclusion, have no end, prioritizing sustained participation through long-term stability, akin to a nation’s multi-generational survival strategy.
States operate within infinite games.
They do not expire. They do not tap out.
Their permanence compels them to prioritize enduring stability over immediate gains. For instance, China’s $1 trillion Belt and Road Initiative, spanning decades, secures global trade networks to ensure long-term economic influence. BRICS nations, through $10 billion in yuan-based trade, foster mutual economic resilience for mutual prosperity.
This cooperative approach engenders a form of morality rooted in reciprocity: mutual support today ensures mutual survival tomorrow. Such strategies reflect a commitment to societal development and stability, as states must maintain legitimacy and resources for their populations over time.
The TPS operates as a corporate entity, fundamentally detached from societal obligations. Unlike states, the TPS bears no responsibility to citizens, public welfare, or long-term development. Its imperative is profit maximization within finite time horizons, driven by shareholder demands and market cycles.
IF Israel gave fake covid shots to its population and IF Israel fudged all of its covid health data and IF it is true Israel is the only highly vaxxed nation in the world to show no decline in healthy pregnancies and births, while all others show alarming declines, one could assume this needle is displaying the gloating of a psychopath over his bioweapon.

Leaked military files have confirmed that the Ukraine Armed Forces have lost more than 1.7 million troops, including both those killed and missing, since the outbreak of full scale hostilities between the country and Russia in February 2022.
A digital card index acquired by hacker groups from Ukraine’s Chief of Staff has provided details on dead or missing personnel, including their names, details of their deaths, and personal data of their families.
The information indicates that 118,500 personnel were killed or went missing in 2022, 405,400 in 2023, 595,000 in 2024 and 621,000 so far in 2025, which corroborates with a growing body of evidence which has emerged over more than three years that attrition rates have increased tremendously and unsustainably.
Commenting on the information, Ukrainian member of parliament Artem Dmytruk reported: “The lists of the missing today contain more than a million people, and of course these people are most likely dead, while their families remain in complete ignorance. The situation is tragic, the situation is frightening.”
Elaborating on the extent of the manpower losses Ukraine has suffered, Dmytruk lamented that villages had been emptied of men, including the conscription of the elderly and disabled, and that as a result of the “huge losses” of personnel Ukraine is facing and a “demographic crisis.” “We have lost several generations,” he said.
And what kind of elite would encourage that, arrest you for saying something about it? This is a major clue to which elite faction controls the West. Clearly there are several foreign IC participating in destroying the West, but evidence shows that one non-Western faction has been burrowed deeply in Western governance for many decades; they are the ones who are doing domestic skullduggery.

Obummer could have been a good president if his handlers had been good people, if his elite faction had not been a bunch of sick f*cks. Time will tell what Vance backers will want from him and whether he has any pizzazz himself. It is in our interests that he and his faction be good, wise, pragmatic, pro-American and not anti-white. See link above for a concise review of Vance’s rise to power. ABN
The Trump administration wants immigration services to begin scrutinizing the social media accounts of potential visa and green card applicants for ‘anti-Americanism.’
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services said officers will now consider whether an applicant for benefits, such as residency, work and visa applications, ‘endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused’ anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views1.
‘America´s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,’ Matthew Tragesser, USCIS spokesman, said in a statement.
This supports Jewish Supremacy and highlights its unique and privileged position within USA. You can like it or dislike it as you please, but it is an obvious fact. Why not keep out people who are anti-white? ABN ↩︎
Elon Musk has backtracked on plans to remake US politics by launching a third party and instead wants to use his immense wealth to help JD Vance become the next president.
The billionaire Tesla founder intends to shift his focus back to his companies after a tumultuous stint working with President Trump and has become wary of upsetting Republicans, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This is obvious formation or announcement of Musk supporting and intending to be an integral part of the ‘Vance faction’.
If elected, Vance would be the public face of this faction, which includes Thiel and several tech bros, along with a large component of Jewish Supremists, many of whom are tech bros with dual or trilateral loyalties.
It might be a good faction. There is plenty of time for conditions to change or become more established. Or other factions to form in opposition.
I doubt Vance has anywhere near the presence, power, experience or skills Trump has, though he is a good talker. ABN
Here’s a long piece about why Whitney Webb’s Epstein book and podcast interviews have had a more detrimental effect on the public’s grasp of the Jeffrey Epstein story than the censors could ever dream of having:
A book or any other printed material needs to be precise and as brief as possible in order to properly convey the material therein. A smart writer knows this and endeavours to reach that goal. It is no good to say “but I had to include everything so that people will understand” instead what should be done is to get a really good understanding of the material so that one might express the essence of it with just enough backing history that the reader can have faith that the material is accurate.
When attempting to baffle with bullshit, however, authors and lawyers often use a simple trick: bury their mark in unnecessary documentation. Overload the senses, use too many words, offer too much documentation.
The aim, of course, is to make the reader or target feel that there’s no way they can actually verify the information or even absorb it all.
Often this trick in itself is evidence of foul play or malfeasance, however it could be that the person producing the material is simply ill equipped to handle the case they are working on and so they throw everything into the mix hoping that the sheer volume will confer some sort of legitimacy on the work. I’m not commenting, in the case of Webb, on her intentions.
Part 2
Think of the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes.
The point of that tale is to demonstrate that a group of people will go along with a delusion if ‘popular’ people embrace it first.
Where real life differs from the tale is that in real life, if someone comes along to point out that the whole group of people were fooled, more often than not the group will turn on the person pointing out the truth rather than awaken from their shared delusion.
This is what has happened with Whitney Webb and her book about Epstein. She wrote this huge and unreadable book (which no, I haven’t read) and immediately got invited onto popular shows (Glenn Beck first) to receive high praise for it. This was ‘The King’ endorsing the new invisible fashion.
Soon the commoners (even though they didn’t read past the first chapter, let’s say, of the book) wanted to look smart & informed so instead of admitting that the book was a cloud of verbal flatulence they joined in the adoring chorus.
The truth is that Tracey’s critique is valid.
He doesn’t go far enough in his warnings about it, though. His aim is not my aim. It appears to me that Tracey just wants to discredit links to Israelis and Jewish intelligence (not sure). In my case I want people to realize that the truth of Epstein not only includes links to Israel, but also to the world of science (progress) / transhumanism / AI and probably to much darker stuff. That his links to Howard Lutnick are not properly investigated. Etc.
When Webb goes on podcast after podcast with her flood of info and in her grating manner (the combination of which sets one’s teeth on edge and makes their eyes glaze over) she serves a more dangerous role than would a censor of info about Epstein and his connections.
She makes people believe that they’ve got the full story, but also that that story is too complex to grasp, and in the end they slip back into “muh egg-shaped penis” titllation instead of ever really reaching understanding.
This has been my sense of Webb as well. I also have not read her book for the reasons given above.
We should all be wary of influencers while also taking in whatever information is good.
I, for one, accept the fact that we are living in a world run by elites; and with that in mind I offer qualified support to whichever side or faction of the elite seems pragmatically best to me.
To put that another way: would you ever really want to live in a real democracy? wherein every moron alive who knows nothing can determine the fate of a nation?
It’s just as well we have pretend elections which amount to public opinion polls at best.
AI may change the game but, so far, elites have always ruled and still do. ABN
Listening to the ranting of a friend who has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), I am struck by two things:
he gives reasons for his anger
his reasoning or abstract understanding of his predicament is ridiculous
(His rant was recorded and sent to me by a third party who is trying to help.)
With that as a starting point, consider the various ways abstract reasoning or solid abstract paradigms can compensate for or mask mental illness. Not all of it is pretty.
For example, serial killers often mask their illnesses for decades by holding fast to the appearance of normalcy while secretly indulging their madness.
Less bad are career criminals who act with savagery in less direct ways, through hit men, poisons, theft, fraud, and so on.
There is a wide spectrum between serial killers and normally inoffensive people.
It is reasonable to see all cultures as fundamentally abstract paradigms that mask and allow for madness among large groups of people.
A culture, after all, is nothing more than a Lowest-Common-Denominator system of communication; an LCD semiology. Consider how many cultures are grotesquely narcissistic.
Personality is much the same whether it conforms well or not to whichever cultural semiology it inhabits.
From this point of view, enshrining diversity only ensures a wider array of mad people. Identity politics is the same; just more ways for mad people to function, more room for them to run free; more abstract paradigms to mask their underlying chaos.
That is a decent modern restatement of the First and Second Noble Truths: life is suffering because we are crazy.
The Third and Fourth Noble Truths tell us that the way out of being crazy is to use our reason better; to understand why we are crazy; that clinging to LCD semiologies can’t ever work.
A philosophical psychologist might rightly say that a mad mind open to reason will gradually become well.
My friend with BPD can reason, but his reasoning is really bad. It’s selfish, marinated in anger, and not open to contrary views. But even he can do it if he clings to reason and evidence.
Abstract reasoning and paradigms such as Buddhism, science, other religions, atheism, psychology, or philosophy can lead us out of madness if we use them diligently.
Diligence or perseverance is one of the most important virtues in Buddhist practice. Wisdom is the most important. Compassion is probably the most famous Buddhist virtue but compassion without wisdom or diligence is not good and can even be dangerous.
Indeed, my BPD friend frequently and loudly demands unreasonable compassion from others. And that is one of the most obvious flaws in the way he thinks about himself, the way he reasons.
Take this video as a semblance of an explication of Buddhism; then understand and use FIML when speaking to at least one other person. That’s where and how FIML fits in the human aspect of the cosmos. There is no better way for humans to communicate interpersonal subjective and objective reality. ABN
