Saturated Fats - Another Consensus Boogie Man
It is so easy to find topics to report that demonstrate mass illusion and having one's head in the clouds or as the Roman's had it: Meteoria, as an idiom. Homo Meteoria, as I have it, lives in the cloud-condos where their theories survive as solid facts, just like the ones the animal man confronts in the forest. Only they are not solid anything, though the swear by them. I have been following Dr. Ford Brewer, M.D., who recently started Prevmed.com. He is the real deal. Today, I read a older blog entry of his about saturated fats. OMG, you say. Time to panic.You are trained to think that just like you have to wear a helmet in Walmart to prevent the earth from attacking you. It seems butter is fine and the weight of modern research, significant research, doesn't find a strict correlation to heart disease, let alone a causation. The article is here. It is great. Dr. Brewer covers the...
Scandalous deceit of parliament and the public
How can we have trust in our institutions if governments can be hoodwinked into passing draconian legislation as a result of false, misleading statistics? We’re talking about totally wrong figures which claimed five times more sexual assaults than were actually reported and underestimated ten-fold the proportion of such cases determined in court. This week’s intriguing story reveals how grossly inaccurate data was promoted and correct statistics suppressed whilst the media and feminist MPs scared the public into believing there was good reason to push through dangerous affirmative consent laws in NSW. In March last year I wrote about the shockingly low figure of 2% which was being claimed as the conviction rate for rape cases in NSW. I questioned how this was possible, since all the data I could find suggested a very different picture, with every effort being made to push sexual...
The Deadly Payload Has Been Delivered.
It's been a long and stressful two years of COVID pandemic theater. The elites and their global propagandists, working in partnership with governments around the world, have successfully made humanity go mad from fear of an illness with a 99.9% survival rate. We've lost our jobs, our businesses, our freedom, our decency toward others, and even our dignity, with the vast majority of us complying obediently to it all without complaint or protest. We've believed lie after lie from the people who claim to represent and protect us. And we've rolled up our sleeves and let mysterious substances be injected into us and our children in the blind belief that the jabs will save us from COVID, the only disease that seems to exist anymore.We've been so compliant and obedient some of our leaders are now backing away from lockdowns and vaccine passports. They're giving us back the freedoms they had...
Social Stratification, Meritocratic Individualism, and Diversity
It's astounding to me how quickly we went from "don't label me" to "stratify me within an inch of my life." And at both periods, we think there's no evolving past this "modern" social dicta. But there always is, and we move into some new phase.You've got people who step into the tracks left by those around them, and who build their ideologies modularly, like a scavenger, from current thought and group affiliation. Then you've got those who are more discerning and less beholden to the zeitgeist, who tend to draw on anything, from anywhere, that seems to hold true--and then build a model of pragmatic approaches. The latter has a special enemy, though, in those at the head of the former, who guide the groups through trenches lined with pamphlets, propaganda, and (most powerful these days) ideological platitudes.There's a reason I'll always be a meritocratic individualist who values...
Cancelling The New Cancer Culture
A wonderful woman got Cancelled from Factual History by fools not so long ago.Product branding dates back throughout the millennia and exploded in the early 1920s. A new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour gave a tribute to a woman's gifts and talents in the advertising world.When I was growing up, it was the go-to store-bought pancake ready-mix flour, but today no one thinks anything about it, and now future generations will not even know what and who was "Aunt Jemima," which is a shame––a travesty. It is a pity because Nancy Green was a true American success story who used her stature to land a lifetime contract that enabled her to do way more than sell self-rising ready-mix pancake flour.You see, Nancy Green got born into slavery in 1834 and became an affluent celebrity in the advertising world as its first living trademark.Green was 56-yrs old when she got selected as...
The Nanking Massacre, the Gospel of Matthew, and the Encapsulation of Wisdom
The horror of warfare, especially in terms of the unrestricted manifestation of the human capacity for evil, was scarcely known to me when I came across a photograph from the Nanking Massacre showing a Japanese soldier with his bayonet pierced through an infant. Reading about babies being impaled and beheaded made me doubt the reality of it, much less its scale, because I couldn't comprehend the need of being hostile, murderously, towards completely helpless and fragile beings. Exploring the details of the Nanking killings gave me an understanding of the range of brutality available to humans, and I concluded that since the massacre had revealed a part of us that until then had been almost unknown, the photograph and the event had, despite the unthinkable cruelty, some worth, for thanks to them we discovered within ourselves something inconceivably dangerous, which we needed to...
