  4. S, Here is a great word inversion for you. Except instead of plain vanilla inversion, a hidden payoff word is revealed in the last line as the inversion happens. I'm still laughing... LOL... Michael
  5. Yup. The government is saying no terrorism. No story here. Go home. Nothing to see. Lara Logan has contacts inside the intelligence community, government agencies and all over the place. Away from the spotlight, all of them are telling those in power that this was an attack. Mostly a cyberattack that took over the ship. And it was well-planned. The ship hit one of the two weak points that could take down the bridge. And the ship was going only 8 knots and did not throw anchor when it lost control. But what do the people in power do? They tell the public this was no attack.

  7. Did you see that Ronna McDaniel had joined NBC? Yup, she went over to... Er... Well, that wasn't long. Michael
  8. Lara Logan gives a lot more details. It was an attack. Shit. It's starting... Michael
  9. General Mike Flynn made me think of something else damaged by DEI controls. Harbormasters. An inept harbormaster who was forced to be hired on pain of the institution being isolated economically (DEI) would do that bridge right up. That would do it. Sadly, I say expect more... Michael EDIT: Other people are saying the ship was cyberattacked.
  10. Huge disaster with Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. A cargo ship hit one of the pillars and the entire 1.6 mile long bridge collapsed. And the collapse is on video. If you saw "The Wire" TV series, you saw plenty of that bridge. I put this news here in Deep State Unraveling because of two reasons. 1. I am suspicious that it was an accident. 2. Even if it was an accident, in today's climate, a huge number of people are going to believe it was done by the Deep State or was a result of something the Deep State did. So this one is a blow to the Deep State whether the Deep State had something to do with it or not. On X, I saw people asking, "Who is John Galt?" On a related note, have you noticed how many airplane manufacturing errors are causing forced landings and near misses these days? It's only going to take one major disaster like with the bridge and God knows what will happen. At least Boing and the other airplane manufacturers have diversity hires according to DEI qualifications, right? Their social justice stats are in order, by God. Remember that the next time you get on a plane. it should be a comfort... I wonder if DEI conditions were involved in the hiring of the cargo ship's captain and/or crew. Granted, the ship is from Singapore, but there are US regulations for coming here, lots of money involved where loans from top DEI-controlled banks might be needed, and paperwork galore... Michael
  11. James, Man, how did I miss this? Sorry for the delay. I did not know you were related to Robert Jones. I like that guy. I always have. But before I make a gaffe, and just to be sure, is this the same Robert Jones that photographs everything all over the place and includes lots of family photos? I ask because your Robert Jones seems a bit older than that Robert Jones, being your great uncle and all. Are the two related? A download link of the book is here: The Challenge of Liberty MISES.ORG From the author:To every age comes its own challenge, different from the challenge to any other age. Although the elements of the problem of social existence remain always the same, yet as each generation variously emphasizes or neglects particular elements of that problem, the challenge to the succeeding generation is presented in different... And here is a direct download link of the PDF: The Challenge of Liberty-pdf I also attached the pdf as a file to my post, so you can also download it there. I did not have any size constraints on attaching it and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm the big kahuna over here and the software is sucking up to me. Just as a preview, here are screenshots of the Title Page and Table of Contents: I bet it's a good book. I, for one, am going to check it out. To the reader, do likewise.

  12. A comment from Lara Logan about this. The US government is literally funding its own enemies. Legally by using NGOs. Many Republicans voted for this, too. Darwin award? Michael
  13. Episode 84. Tulsi Gabbard. Michael EDIT: I just finished watching the interview. I always like Tulsi ever since she migrated from Hillary Clinton to to Bernie Sanders way back when because she was against regime change wars. I liked her even though I was opposite of her views on a lot of things. Tulsi's views have since evolved in the red pill MAGA direction and she is a lot more freedom-oriented than she was before. I like that. Also, she is one of the few people who went into Congress and did not come out a millionaire. She refused the corruption money. Now, after watching this interview, I love Tulsi. Why? She lives her values, right or wrong, even in the ickiest of places like Washington DC. I bet I am not alone in my evaluation. Watch the interview yourself where Tucker and she discuss her history and you will see what I mean. Michael
  14. I'll be honest. I never heard of a "narrative scaffold" before this post. So I looked it up. It just means a template. For example, for story: setup --> complication --> increasing complications --> resolution --> aftermath. That is a narrative scaffold. There are lots of different ones out there, but almost all have beginning, middle and end as their main divisions. I like the world "scaffold" for the following way fake news and indoctrinated people use story, though. A narrative scaffold is where the target goes to get hanged along with rationality. Here's the way this particular narrative scaffold works in terms of story wars. I did not get this from anywhere. I figured it out on my own. 1. The setup: A preordained conclusion, then an activity. In this case: Orange Man bad. Bad Orange Man makes a speech. 2. Complication. Orange Man says bad thing. Bad thing said has different meanings. 3. Payoff. Bad thing said proves Orange Man bad. Other meanings that indicate different don't count, even if they are more rational. Why? Because Orange Man bad. 4. Conclusion Orange Man bad. This is one more proof. Notice that this narrative scaffold is not limited to Trump. It works for Jews, white people, blacks, gays, for any target. Just replace "Orange Man" with target and keep the rest the same. Even a man as intelligent as Jonathan Haidt falls for this form of story manipulation with its circular logic. The narrative scaffold replaces reality in his mind. Notice that once the narrative scaffold is in place, it becomes a premise. Logic still exists, but logic is no longer used to identify and evaluate reality. It is used only to prove the story is true regardless of whether it is or not. This case with Jonathan Haidt is fantastic because of how clear the "narrative scaffold" is exposed. When Joe Rogan showed him the video and the context of automobile factories before the term "bloodbath." Jonathan basically said, "Orange Man bad. He calls for violent civil war because muh bloodbath and asides mumble mumble mumble." Then an assistant said the video had been altered to cut out the automobile factories context following the term "bloodbath." And he has a full video showing the part left out. He showed the video. Jonathan basically said, "Nope. Orange Man bad. He made an aside. That's all. An aside. He calls for violent civil war because muh bloodbath and asides mumble mumble mumble." That's how a narrative scaffold locks in a mental frame that replaces reality. Even in super-intelligent people like this poor soul. As an aside, a true aside , do you know why people who talk about the automobile industry (or any market for that matter) use the word "bloodbath" when they refer to a financial disaster? Because of all the red ink in the accounting books. Blood is red. The ink is red. Helloooo... This metaphor has been used for centuries. But not for those who have been brainwashed by a narrative scaffold based on a conclusion in the place of reality and infected with circular logic. How's that for a story war? Michael
