Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Politics is no longer (if it ever was) rational. My dinner partner on Saturday said she had never heard that Comey admitted the NY Times had gotten a series of stories wrong. She thought I had made that up. The bubbles we are facing are not only economic.

The sordid details (as many as the police will release) can be found here. Below is just a bit to get your blood boiling. A Minneapolis police officer reportedly shot Ruszczyk, who was dressed in pajamas, while she was talking to his partner. The officer shot the woman through the driver’s side window of the…

I was reading Caesar’s Messiah and it got me to thinking. Christianity (the original Roman version) was a church organized like an army. Islam came along and did them one better. The church is an army.

Starting a government meeting with a prayer has been declared illegal. If they opened with prayers to Satan it wouldn’t be an issue. It would just be a repetition of their mission statement. The connected will be protected.

My wife was having some WiFi problems today so I was checking the Networks currently available and came across a very curious one. FBI Surveillance Van 62 When I first looked it was at 5 bars (very strong) and later it went down to two bars (weak). So it likely was a moving vehicle. Was…

TheDude1224 Jul 14, 2017 3:41 PM With terms like “Islamophobia” and “Hate Speech” being thrown in your face constantly, and being forced to choose between being a democrat or a Hitler loving, racist, mysoginistic, radical, warmongering, bigot…the choice becomes pretty clear. Fuck the democrats!

Sharia Police come to Germany. “They have come to Germany because they wanted to live in Germany, but they keep trying to turn it into Chechnya with its medieval ways. This inability and reluctance to integrate is extremely frustrating and typical of all migrants, not just Chechens. The only difference is that most other migrants…

( About 30 minutes ) Why do I call them fascists? Because they use fascist tactics. Like this: ( About 1 minute ) Update: 10 July 2017 0448z The top video for me was eyeopening. It gave me a much different view of Europe than I had a day ago. Very much worth a look.…

About 37 minutes This is from 2015. It has only gotten worse.

Islam killed the Roman Empire. (About 45 minutes – and worth every minute) I found the video at this link. There is another there you might find of interest. I’ll have more to say on this subject from my reading of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T. E. Lawrence – pdf. PoliticalIslam.com

I think the Syrian war is coming to an end. It will be ending with ISIS kicked out of significant parts (all?) of Syria and the country partitioned. I think the Saudis are serious about ending the war in Syria. As are most of the parties involved. This guy has a notion of what the…

This famous poem is now over 100 years old: Flanders Field today: And a painting of the soldier poet’s subject: So please remember. Don’t let their sacrifices be in vain. We will always be in their debt.

Great. Just great. Last month critics of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s murderous anti-drug crusade were dismayed by the official White House summary of a “very friendly” telephone conversation in which Donald Trump praised the bloodthirsty authoritarian for “fighting very hard to rid [his] country of drugs.” A newly revealed transcript of the April 29 call,…

Even though my posts have slowed to barely a trickle, as most readers know, I’m no fan of Trump. Nor is Reason‘s Nick Gillespie, whose latest piece totally cracked me up: Donald Trump, the most-unlikely and least-liked president in the history of the United States, had barely celebrated his first 100 days when calls for his…

14-Year Veteran Undercover Cop Exposes Truth About The Drug War: “I Used To Believe I Was Doing Good”. “When I went into policing I thought addicts had made the mistake of trying drugs and had no willpower to stop. Actually, problematic drug users – or at least all the ones I knew – were self…

I’d say Joe Kennedy. Both turned Prohibition Profits into big real estate ventures. Trump, however, is not making the same mistake Joe did. He is not giving the administration of the country to his kids. He is (mostly) doing it himself.

What? You say you have never heard of FTM Bank? It is the oldest bank in the world even if it is not officially chartered. FTM is Follow The Money. Well, former FBI Director James Comey sure had his eye on the money. From Zero Hedge commenter PrayingMantis comes this comment which is a little…
