Before I even began to read your litany of [justified] misery, it occurred to me that uttering a “Why?” is one of the most subversive, dangerous moves one can make in a totalitarian matrix, whether it be family, church, team or state.
“Because I said so!” SMACK.
While the work of Solzhenitsyn comes to mind, I cannot relate a specific episode from his graphic, if horrifying, odyssey. Nevertheless, an inappropriate “Why?” was, as I recall (could be wrong) what adjusted his outlook in the direction of the gulag.
Once in the gulag there is certainly no space for any “Why?”
A “Why?” can also disastrously derail sunk cost momentum: you obey the order of a senior officer in the military, even while aware that such obedience can result in injury or death. Or you choose to face the consequences.
Such is the price we pay for membership in society, and often why we “barnyard animals” shut up and go along with despicable orders.
Lana the Free and Homer the Brave shine their shit-eating grin at us as they load up their SUV and head for the hills, contemptuous smart-asses so sure of themselves and their mighty land-o’-plenty.
Reading Solzhenitsyn in the 1970s absolutely turned my whole world view upside down.
If the State said you were crazy then you were. TMWRTW have total control of you and absolutely everyone else. It took my breath away with its elegance.
Back in the late 1960s, in my first job, the deal was you work for 5 days then we give you 2 days off. You work for 50 weeks then we give you 2 weeks off. You work till you are 65yo and then we give you the rest of your life off. And my response? Why? Why? Why?
I could take part or I could step through the door marked "Freedom". Of course I moved towards the door.
And people ask me why I hung up my slide-rule in 1975.
I have been working on solutions for a "smaller world". I imagine power being down for days or much longer when the tax base fails. From what we see with the LA fires.... it is apparent that governmental agencies are failing in a very wealthy state. Accordingly, I imagine that its "localization" or bust.
I've selected a revenue target which is positive (safety), instead of negative (financial failure). However, it just seems like the world is slowing down to some kind of just barely detectable heart beat.
Money keeps moving through the system, but nothing in the way of new projects, or overhauls appears to be of any interest to it. It's like it and everyone is resting in some sort of do nothing homeostasis... unable to imagine what is about to happen... even though everything is flashing red. People don't even talk about outcomes.
I swear I remember a time when people complained bitterly about mistreatment.
I have a brother who is an architect... his business is roaring ... not much in the way of new builds (he does a lot of govt work)... but endless work on maintaining and repairing existing buildings... things fall apart... everything is slowly failing....
He had some very amusing projects during Covid ... (he is a rabid anti-vaxxer)... he sent me some photos of massive air ducting systems that he worked on for schools... the push was on to make the schools safe from The Virus... he thought it was all a joke... but cha-ching... he was more than happy to send a fat bill over for the drawings
For me the answer as to "Why" has been an easy one since 2009. They really don't give a shit because they know fully well the whole thing is going "tits up". We are at the point of "damned if you do, damned if you don't".
At this point, it doesn't make a fucking difference whether the US piles on $1T in debt or $10 Trillion in a year. The airplane is heading for the same mountain, regardless.
That's why they are trying to kill us with their bullshit vaccines. They think if they can eliminate us or most of us, that's less pitchforks and torches storming the Castle Gates where they are hiding out.
What they don't realize is that once you shit in your own neighborhood it has consequences like what's happening in Los Angeles. All these Lefties, Wokies and Greenies are now having to dealing with all the bullshit regulations they wanted their government to pass.
Comedian, Adam Corolla recently posted his epic rant regarding the LA Fires and he nails the problems people in California have created for themselves.
Oh and for the Climate Change crowd who say it caused these fires, well supposedly the local Police found a migrant setting fires with a blowtorch in San Fernando Valley.
Tell us the truth Eddy - you had a woman who get fed up with living on a hobby farm and you reconsidered and decided: "happy wife, happy life". Amirite?
I was in the gym last evening and there was a 15 minute news segment playing on the Tee Vee on the wall--- all about the Apocalypse in Cali.... I was thinking ... a bit overdone... I was thinking... I wonder if the Ministry of Truth is behind the fires... for the purpose of creating more anxiety
Oh and btw -- if I was a tear-or-ist... and I wanted to harm 'merica... I'd been lookin at these fires.... and I'd be thinking ...
Hmmmmm......
Hmmmmmm.....
You know what I'm sayin....
Makes one think that tear or ism is pretty much all orchestrated... cuz they never do much harm.... flicking ciggies into dry bush = mayhem === expensive... economic damage... tear-or ...+ nearly impossible to get caught....
The santa ana winds are blowing at 100 miles an hour. Any spark in those conditions starts a fire. If dumbasses were intentionally starting some of these I hope they rot in jail. I know its happened in the past but hadnt seen anything about arsonists this time around.
Ted Kaczynski and his pipe bombs were a dumb idea... as if that was gonna change anything... if he wanted to fuck things up... he should have used fire
Withnail, did you have trouble with maths and physics at school?
It is nothing to be embarrassed about lots of people do, mostly because they are poorly taught. This of course suits TMWRTW as it leaves people like yourself incapable of following complex logical arguments.
My introduction to DEW was during 9/11 when it looked to me that the towers didn't collapse, like the BBC told me, rather they blew away across the Hudson into NJ. Now I always trust my own eyes over the MSM and that led me straight to DEW.
The whole Matrix is held together by folks like you repeating exactly what they are told so do us all a favour and seek help for your inability to handle maths and physics.
Withnail, Maths and Physics describe the physical world we all live in that's all, nothing more, nothing less.
By 1969 I had worked out that I was doing absolutely no work at all when I went to "work", according to my school boy Physics lessons, as for each unit of work I did I needed another 10,000,000 units of work done for me by fossil fuels. And it looked like Humpty Dumpty would fall off the wall around the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Does that make me very intelligent? No it points to my unconditioned mind. Unconditioned by the Barn Yard Animals that is, who for some reason, always agree with each other. I wonder just why that is?
And I wonder just how many other folk noticed that it looked like those towers blew away across the Hudson? One of the many things the Barn Yard Animals were told on 9/11 was that the towers fell down and yet it was obvious to a few that they turned to dust and blew away. [Dr. Judy Wood "Where Did The Towers Go " is the goto book]
I've never in my life called anyone stupid. I merely pointed out that you seem to be totally devoid of critical thinking skills and therefore can only ever repeat what your masters tell you.
If there is one thing that you can be absolutely certain of it is that TMWRTW have known for over 50years that none of you have done a stroke of work and that some device such as a pandemic would have to be deployed as the world hit a problem with exergy.
Im very interested in the LA fires, but how they started is almost irrelevant. What I think is important is what the government response has been, and the failures in the preparatory lead up at every level.
What a mess. What a total and abject failure.
But more, many related services especially insurance have been abandoning the state. California! The very well to do state. This to me, is an indication that things are untenable. The energy inputs are not keeping up to the requirements.
The conclusion is that both the system and expectations need to change to something that will require a lot less energy. That right there, is where people living in fire prone areas ... need to adjust their outlook.
civilization was doomed from start. all (very slow renewables on human timespans) technology is unsustainable. you can only delay the inevitable long enough as our elites transhumanist eugenicist overlords want to change biology of species to permanently adapt to environment or experience 10 billion lifespans in one second -- an eschatological attempt of escaping the limitations of our existence. it really doesn't matter what humans do because we were doomed to breed and utilize resources to maximize dissipation and explore the boltzmann distributions to reach the highest-ordered lowest-minima configuration state possible.
Yep, I realised, circa 1975, that we would never be able to put mechanisms in place to stop us using every atom of every element in the periodic table till we became extinct.
AI is the hail mary play to try and save us from ourselves. The elites know climate change is about to kill us all, they just don't care because they are old and think their money will protect them. Everything nowadays is an endless grift of the corporate class enriching themselves as much as possible off all of our labor as they run out the clock till civilization collapses.

Not nihilistic but on point. If you have faith in miracles and can crack on bucket listing, fair enough.
The machete needs no why.
Tell us the truth Eddy - you had a woman who get fed up with living on a hobby farm and you reconsidered and decided: "happy wife, happy life". Amirite?
No ... as long as I did not put a yoke on her and have her pull the plough... she was very happy
Have you noticed all The wildfires in California? I was wondering if you were going to comment on that. People are saying the government is using DEW.
I was in the gym last evening and there was a 15 minute news segment playing on the Tee Vee on the wall--- all about the Apocalypse in Cali.... I was thinking ... a bit overdone... I was thinking... I wonder if the Ministry of Truth is behind the fires... for the purpose of creating more anxiety
Once you have seen the results of DEW you can't unsee them. Can I assume you haven't seen the results of a DEW attack?
The best thing about an engineering degree is I'm always, always right. And the worst thing? I'm always, always right.
I saw videos ... but how do we know they're real? Seriously. The effects are easy to create in video software.
Directed Energy Weapons? They do not exist.
I was thinking more along the lines of a few fellas dressed in black ... from the gov... lit the fires.... to create havoc and anxiety...
They seem to like to keep the barnyard animals on edge
It seems people are in fact lighting fires in LA. More like disgruntled people rather than the CIA. Looting is also rampant.
Impossible to know ....
So, terrorism then. I hope thats not true.
It is true. Arrests have been made. I've also seen video.
Well... we blow them into the stone age then take their resources... so maybe we deserve it

Perhaps all done on purpose?
Just like everything else? Arson is definitely done on purpose. But, to what ends?
This is where speculation and whisky make great bedfellows.
I think they like a population that feels terrorized... they tend to do whatever they are told... including inject Operation Warp Speed
