Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 I just saw the Vivek interview and, man, did I love it. I don't see him replacing Trump, but I see him alongside Trump and coming after Trump. Wherever he lands will be where Trump lands. Fantastic. And yes, I see Ayn Rand's ideas all over both of them. I don't think either read her and changed their world views. I think they got their ideas from the same places Rand got hers: reason, Founding Fathers, and so on. As to the RFK Jr. interview, I have not seen the whole thing yet. In fact, I have only seen a few minutes so far. Not enough time, but I want to see it. I hate to say it, but his voice is one of the subconscious reasons I have not seen it yet. There is a big difference between listening to that voice for 10 or 12 minutes and listening to it for an hour and a half. I know enough about the human mind to know that by the end of the hour and a half, I will be acclimated to the voice and not notice it so much. But from the perspective of going in, my inner lizard brain doesn't want to hear it. "Do not go there," it tells me. So in order to watch that video, I have to make the time and fight with myself a bit. But I will. From what I have read about that interview, RFK Jr. said a lot of important and controversial shit. The thing I most love about all these people that Tucker interviews, they all subscribe to the idea that a lie never needs to be censored. Only truths that are inconvenient to the people in power get censored. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 I didn't see the debate, but I saw a few clips from the debate of Vivek on Twitter. Then I saw this. LOL... I also saw a ton load of sour pusses saying Vivek was auditioning to be Trump's VP. In fact, "Trump's VP" was trending on Twitter. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmj Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I really like Vivek's America first stance and how he brings it to every situation, especially his ideas on how to handle a future Sino-civil war aka Taiwan. Defend the chip industry until domestic manufacture can be implemented. But his countenance struck me as put on, I thought his manner of speaking and presentation were a product of someone trying to get used to a politician's 'skin', a little too smooth and such. But then I saw his high school graduation speech from 2003 when he was eighteen , that's Vivek , holy cow ! In 2003 in that auditorium he's the kid you'd say "..is gonna be president someday" ( here's to starting as VP ! : ) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 I spoke too soon. It's up to 230 million views by now. Here is a screenshot I just took off of X (former Twitter). (And I linked it to the Tucker X post so you can check the current number of views.) Apropos, does anyone know how many people viewed the debate? I can't find that number anywhere. If this were a football game, it looks to me like the score is something like Fox Debate 3, Tucker Trump 229. Except we are still in the 4th quarter.

Michael I think that a better sports comparison would be the 1919 Chicago White Sox , known as the Black Sox, when they threw the World Series for money with the White Sox being the RINO's and Mike Pence being one of the ringleaders.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 For those who like Tucker on Twitter, he posted this speech in Hungary on his X channel. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 That was a hell of a good speech in Hungary. One thing jumped out at me. In the early part of the speech, several time Tucker referred to the USA as an empire, and not in a disparaging manner. He talked about how a good empire should act. He's right, but it sounds weird to my ear after all these years in O-Land and l-land. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael See Peter, that is your proof right there, 4/5 people support Trump and 1.1 million went to his rallies running up to the 2020 election. I am very sure that someone with your wisdom has heard the cliche that the proof is in the pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 I finally watched the whole interview with Larry Sinclair. I can only base my opinion on my own life experience with gay people since all the evidence has been so massaged, but based on that, Larry is credible. I've never been gay nor had any gay sexual experiences, but down in Brazil, I always had gay friends around me. That was just common in the music world. Less so now, but that's more because I am less social--I interact live with far fewer people than in Brazil. In fact, Larry was a lot more credible than I thought he would be. He reminds me of a deceased friend, Vincente. Same mannerisms. Same subdued bitchiness when he believes something is wrong. All of it. After seeing Obama lie time after time after time, I have no problem believing this guy. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Episode 23. Hyperinflation, Argentina. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Tomorrow Tucker will interview Javier Milei, the pro-capitalism front runner in the elections for president. And he looks like a fun character. On looking at that 10 minute teaser, I was taken back to my time in Brazil. I lived under severe inflation, but the Brazilians did not do what the Argentinean government is doing, that is print vast quantities of paper money that ends up in blocks that have to be carried in bags if you want a $100 USD worth. The Brazilians sporadically lopped off 3 zeros and renamed the currency. They did this over and over. So there were not gobs of paper currency notes. But the inflation was the same. However, when Tucker went to the black market exchange to get pesos for a hundred dollar bill, this looked exactly like what I have done in Brazil countless times. Even the counter and divider looks the same as what I remember in Brazil. Obviously, down there, black market means something different for currency exchange that most people imagine.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Dayaamm! If you remove the issue of abortion, Milei is the most Randian politician I have seen in another country, although he does not mention her name. Like really Randian, hard core Randian. He says things like a need does not make a right. That the government produces nothing and, the few times it tries, it botches things. All of it. He also said that as President, he will do no business with China, nor with any communist country. He did not say the exact words Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty or give me death." But he did say that his conception of the best life is to be willing to lay down your life for liberty. And he was willing to lay his own life down for liberty. I found Milei's argument against abortion fascinating. He mentioned the philosophical and religious part of murder being immoral and a crime, but when he got to the science reasoning part, he said something I have never heard anyone else say. He said a human being is created at conception because a new DNA comes into existence. So even though that DNA occupies the body of the mother, it is no longer the body of the mother. It is the body of a different individual. Therefor abortion is murder, plain and simple. I know a lot of people--especially here in Rand-land--will find this outrageous, but I see it as what happens when you decree morality (like Rand did on abortion) without properly identifying the situation. In Rand's view, a fetus is nothing more than a piece of protoplasm. That is not a proper definition. (Talk about a stolen concept. That one doesn't walk around, it flies. ). If pressed on Milei's reasoning, I bet she would have said that all the different bacteria in the body have unique DNAs or something like that. I don't want to argue abortion in this thread, but I found Milei's reasoning sound and, although he did not say it, constrained by the human species (the part Rand leaves out). He did say that one of the preoccupations of socialists and authoritarians is to be able to determine who lives and who dies by their violence. Although Rand was nowhere near that in the way it sounds, she did have some minor authoritarian streaks in her (as one example, demanding people not refer to her work in any terms other than the ones she sanctioned--that is if one did not want to be labeled as the equivalent of scum by her, but there are others). Back to point. This is a fantastic interview. Brazilians and Argentineans have a long-standing rivalry that infected me during my 32 years in Brazil. So it feels weird for me to wish Argentina well. But I dearly hope for the good of Argentina that Milei becomes their president. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
