I keep looking for a rational belief system that embraces all the facts. In a world of propaganda, political liars, and astonishing unabashed corruption, this is perhaps just a fool's errand, tilting at windmills so to speak. I am sincerely trying not to just fall for "The Devil Runs The...

I have been looking for news. Not that I believe anything in the news, but "news" that is itself "evidence" of facts. I once hoped that the EU, NATO and USA, and Ukranian government officials would just meet two of Putin's bargaining points. Ukraine become demilitarized, never a NATO member...

Henry Kissinger proposed a peace deal, settling land to Russia for peace. 99 years old, and he can still talk pretty good, and understand things as well as ever. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/05/henry-kissinger-says-ukraine-should-give-up-territory-to-russia/ today, Russian forces...

https://2000mules.com/ I grew up reading Pravda jokes. Totalitarian wonks smirking and saying "I don't care who votes, as long as I control who counts the votes". The USA has out-Russia'd Russia. We have crooks who not only cheat on who votes, but who counts them. And a Pravda-style...

In Western Civilization, people are often looking for good reasons to do bad stuff. The rest of the wold doesn't believe in reasons like that. They do bad stuff, with a smug notion that nobody can stop them, or that at least they will have their way for a day. I've taken to reading Al...

We lost to the Mavs. Now it doesn't hurt so much.

Bill Barr's book is out. Says he will vote for Trump in 2024, holding his nose. Barr say China is stealing technology and building a modern military, that the Chinese people are generally more "enabled" and have more work ethic or moral drive, more of a willingness to be compliant with...

So US media is admitting there are bioweapons labs funded by the US in Ukraine. Supposedly, they have been working on "reducing bioweapon threats", just like Fauci's funding for research in Chinese labs on "gain of function" virus models ultimately was meant to "reduce" bioweapon research...

https://www.rt.com/russia/548423-taiwan-condemns-russia-china/ Russia and China are a united front on both Ukraine and Taiwan issues, supporting "separatists", largely ethnic movement and condemning US protection of Taiwan...

Excuse me. I was reading an article that claimed they had a fantastic bit of debunking to offer me. Then, here's their "proof": Durham’s filing said Sussmann’s "billing records reflect" that he "repeatedly billed the Clinton Campaign for his work on the Russian Bank-1 allegations."...

It's about time to do a review of the political and medical end-stage of the "pandemic". As a "review", this topic will be on-going for years: What the Hell Happened?" Pretty sure there are interests who will apply available power and influence to shut down the discussion. This topic is by...

Browsing the recently showcased items from the magazine of the CFR, Foreign Affairs, I found an article by a former Chinese CCP propaganda official who has broken with Xi and is detailing Xi's sins against the cause, and going even further, apparently has broken ranks even with his former...

Well, it's not really so much an "option" as a necessity. Our engineers are not like they were in the 1950s, WWII soldiers who could pick up junk and make it work on the field. Or who could literally fly a plane by the seat of their pants. In an age where people talked about being...

rthis is like having Cain speak in Sunday School, I admit. I mean, someone who knows the Devil preaching to the Choir. This subject becomes doubly convolutied for a Mormon who believes in the Book of Mormon. OK, let me explain. I was watching a supposed documentary called "Agenda" by a guy...

Time for a new thread. This grows out of my "Politicians are Birds" theme, but is less of a joke. Human ideals must have limits. Human hopes must not. "Hope" is like dreaming, loving, caring....... all the "good" that makes us somehow "happy" for a moment. We need hope, and nobody should...

We are having a crisis here at JFC. The Universe is coming apart at the seams. Life as we know it is coming to an end. One Brow is turning back into a Christian who knows who Jehovah is. Truth is emerging from the primordial muck. Biden re-nominated a capitalist to run our banking. People...

Baguio, the Philippines. A thriving black market for gold. Seems like thousands of outta-work filipinos have got themselves picks, shovels, and pans and have disappeared into the woods. Some other areas of the Philippines, as well. Zamboanga for example. But, really, everywhere. An ounce...

I've always been a sort of mining hobbyist. Just thinking things through with the course we're on switching to electric cars and decarbonization. "[ICODE][ICODE][COLOR=[/I] So John D. Rockefeller articulated our economic foreign policy a hundred years ago: USE THEIRS FIRST This is the...

When the alledged pandemic was just getting legs in the news, I started a thread like this one. I consider it about time to do the hindsight is better thread. I am not the editor of Nature, or JAMA. This is a conversational thread, not a debating society product. No links will be accepted...

So, for political newbies, revolution is history, nothing new at all. Same thing with Marxism or whatever. Human nature is a perpetual contest between never-to-be-resolved contradictory human inconsistencies. Humans are actually never going to be rational, and will never be "good" , and...
