It's not you, it's the hosting service, I've now gone a few rounds with their IT support, so-called. At this point it is either gross incompetence or willful interference on the part of the hosting service. I've already reserved a domain name for a new site and made preliminary hosting arrangements...

I was wondering how useful that video would be; I've become increasingly suspicious of the BBC. The Democrats and the Biden Admin are doing the same thing in the US, blowing the Capitol Riot and some extreme outliers (like the bumbling fools that got talked by the FBI into a plot to kidnap Whitmer)...

Earlier when I tried to edit my barely articulate post above, I got caught once again by Spamhaus, at both locations this time! Maybe my posts are a little bit spammy! At any rate, this conflict has me thinking that Russia has decisively lost the propaganda war, and now maybe even the real war. A qu...

At the end of the documentary "the Soviet Story" there is a video of Neo Nazis in the Russian parliament As I recall they were actually members of the parliament. I tired to find the clip but apparently someone has flag it as age restricted(Probably someone woke that took offense) They ac...

Apologies, I am caught up in the Spamhaus spiderweb. Posting from a remote session. I had a post that was lost, but let's just say I am skeptical but not in an unreceptive way. But if Texas wanted to give it a go against DC, I might just maybe fall on the side of the Texans. So not terribly persuasi...

@Doc, I get that the increasingly mainstream conservative position is a kind of isolationism (again), but I'm a big fan of self-determination, and fending off invasions seems to be a legitimate extension of that principle. @Azari, I don't think it took much "fooling" to get Ukrainians to ...

Yes, it seems the US deep state and the WEF are willing to fight Putin down to the last Ukrainian. That makes it sound as if the Ukrainians are less than willing to fight. Whatever else might be murky about this conflict (almost everything), the willingness of Ukrainians to fight for their country ...

So, no? Oh, well. Time will tell. Hopefully we still have a significant control group to help determine the long term consequences of this experiment. The problem is not the data. The problem is the propaganda masters are still stifling research and lying to the public. People are being ridiculed b...

Is there, at last, wide acceptance of the assertion that the vaccines do not prevent the disease, nor prevent its transmission, or is this still considered a heterodox/fringe position?

This thread or any other. Goodbye.

I don't have much interest in the accepted narratives other than to say that I think there is a significant level of institutional capture by drug companies that is skewing the data in numerous ways hard to see and prove. Hopefully the passage of time will reveal more, but I'm skeptical. Institutio...

Bitcoin fans like the idea of a verifiable public transaction blockchain, but is it really? Is there an app I can dl to check? And if there is an error or fraud, where do btc holders turn for recourse? What is it that you think Bitcoin miners are doing with publicly available software? They are ver...

I remember being stunned and humbled by Hubble images; I'm feeling a great deal of anticipation for what this telescope might reveal.

The CCP is eager to destroy anything it can't control.

Time will tell if there will be any escape from 100% authoritarian control or not. Seems as if a lot of folks have made their peace with being under the thumb of a central authority. I on the other hand love to see power taken away from those who would exercise it "for our own good."

I just don't think I am getting what you're trying to say. Real examples would be helpful.

Bitcoin changed from a cryptocurrency into a hustle when they started trading futures. Now the manipulators can contract more bitcoin than actually exists with settlement in fiat. The manipulation method is the same as the fraudulent unallocated precious metals funds. There is a lot of virtual bitc...

Fiat: An arbitrary decree or pronouncement, especially by a person or group of persons having absolute authority to enforce it. Or, "Because I say so." So, why isn't gold a fiat currency? You can't eat it. There's really little one can do with it other than trade it for other things. Yet i...

I have to confess, I can't really figure out what your main complaint against Bitcoin is. Maybe we could start with that? Even though I'm not especially conversant re Bitcoin. I'm simply more of an anti-establishment guy. I'm not convinced it's because you love your gov's ability to manipulate your ...

I am not an expert in crypto, but it doesn't take an expert to notice that you seem to be all over the place regarding your thoughts on the subject. Some of what you say seems to be more of an indictment of our increasingly authoritarian regimes than it does of the concept of crypto generally. You m...

I guess you haven't bothered to watch/listen to what I posted. I can't blame you. Keep in mind that the supply of Bitcoin is finite, so in the end, it does not matter a lot if cartels etc. mine it to their benefit. While it imparts a whiff of the unsavory, it's a bit like saying that there is cocain...
