Five curious items worth a momentary look: Links 2, July 20th, 2022

1. House Democrats in Pennsylvania approach peak woke

2. Joe has cancer?

(I would call what comes out of his mouth, ‘word-salad’ but its not nearly as nutritious as that. Its possible that the people behind Biden want to leak a cancer story to allow an exit without demanding a total recall of all his executive orders on the basis of incompetence though.)

3. CNN Tech director puts the agenda out there in plain speak

4. I dunno about this story but it makes for interesting speculation. But at the moment, its a long long way from Tiananmen Square

Tanks before banks? But don’t they use primarily digital currency? I don’t get it. Can you stop a bank run this way? Most people seem pretty calm and are just taking video. Terrible terrible quality video, but that is what they are doing nonetheless.

Recently there were stories about Chinese people refusing to pay their home mortgages because some policy shift had eaten up more equity on their homes than they owed. So in protest, many Chinese nationals stopped paying the mortgage. Could this be connected? If anyone has a clue what this is please leave a comment. At this point I would believe it was the 766th tank battalion in Beijing all going to cash their paycheques before a holiday weekend. We also don’t KNOW that is a bank. It could be a tank muffler repair place for all we know.

5. Portland seems to be the epicentre of communist bolshevik multi-generation revolutionaries.

  1. 4/ I don’t trust any videos coming out of CHY-na. Citizen journalists, surrrre. Like Wuhan-ese dropping dead of covid in the streets. Tanks? No tanks?

    What do they want us to THINK is going on? They pitch angles by market segment. Including the anti-PRC conservatives. I’m drawn to some sources, but I don’t completely trust any of them.

  2. 2-i agree the cancer is an excuse to get him out of office and leave his executive orders intact.

  3. The following is what Ludwig von Mises wrote in Part 4, page 413, of his book, Theory of Money and Credit:

    “As a system of peaceful co-operation under the division of labour,
    the market economy could not work without an institution warranting
    to its members protection against domestic gangsters and external
    foes. Violent aggression can be thwarted only by armed resistance
    and repression. Society needs an apparatus of defence, a state, a
    government, a police power. Its undisturbed functioning must be
    safeguarded by continuous preparedness to repel aggressors. But
    then a new danger springs up. How keep under control the men
    entrusted with the handling of the government apparatus lest they
    turn their weapons against those whom they were expected to serve?
    The main political problem is how to prevent the rulers from becoming
    despots and enslaving the citizenry.”
    pages 413-414
    So, the problem has been known for at least a century, the only thing missing is the will to solve the problem.

  4. “3. CNN Tech director puts the agenda out there in plain speak” (CAGW)

    Hmm. Club Of Rome 1972 “Limits of Growth” paper was clear that climate change was a tool to be used for fear

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome

    “”In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”[10]”
