Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

This is a discussion about AG Wm. Barr and Spygate. The fireworks start at about 7:28 in and last almost to the end. Watch Juan Williams. He puts up an excellent fight verbally. But he looks beaten.     ( About 9 and 1/2 minutes )

I like all the tough talk from China. “Buy from us or we will…..” What? An excellent sales tactic for a criminal gang. But for the course of ordinary business? Well that is not what they teach in business schools or sales training courses.     ( About 11 minutes )

( About 12 minutes ) A link to the Marin County newspaper article. Soph’s Bitchute channel. Be sure to watch her Be Not Afraid video which caused the uproar to start. The Buzzfeed article referenced.

You will get to the main point I’m interested (who pays tariffs) in the first 3 minutes. He also explains why. Competition. China will need to take less profit. And the US Treasury will be getting that profit. Reducing to some extent the growth of American government debt. Trump is one clever fellow. tl;dr China…

You will find that phrase “100 years of evidence” at the end of the video. It is important. Watch for it.   ( About 6 1/2 minutes )

The first two minutes are enough to get the flavor.   ( About 6 minutes )

I like Free Speech. I supported Mario Savio ( I was a few feet from him at some of his rallies in Berkeley ) when he objected to right wing censorship. I object to the current wave of left wing censorship. All censorship does is make the views it opposes more popular. Funny enough the…

And as a corollary Trump got it right. The presenter of this video gets some nice words in on the authoritarian dictators of Beijing. And Chinese slave labor. Also “China Joe” Biden. ( About 8 minutes )

This is a really long and insufferable video. A wall of text. It is also hilarious. Suggested by Styxhexenhammer666 ( About 19 minutes ) Update: 14 May 2019 02112z As of today Soph has been banned from YouTube. You can still find that video “Be Not Afraid” and others on Soph’s Bittchute Channel.

This was published on April 16th. What is amazing is that Tim Pool (the commentator) has better numbers than any of the majors except for Fox. Although theirs are by the hour and his may be by the day. Still, it is impressive.     ( About minutes )

The quote “The left protects Neo-Nazis” happens at about 9:15 in. Watch the whole thing up to that to get the context. ( About 16 minutes )

( About 18 1/2 minutes ) The video was produced in 2012. He leaves out a great problem for renewables. The supplies are intermittent. Sometimes there is low or no wind for weeks. Batteries are touted as a solution. How big is a battery that can deliver a few hours of output for a grid?…

( The video starts at about 11 minutes in. Two minutes will get you the good stuff. ) A name you will be hearing more – Adm. Mike Rogers. Supposedly a report on James Comey will be out in two weeks according to Joe diGenova starting at about 16 minutes in. Update: 26 April 2019…

I don’t blog much these days. Hardly at all. But occasionally (like right now) I just plain feel as if I must use this platform in accordance with the reasons I started it. (That whole “Classical Values” thing — an idea I had nearly two decades ago, the explanation of which would require repeating long-repeated explanations which…

Some WW2 history. ( About 53 minutes )

You will note that despite their hatred of the Deep State, the “enemies” of the Deep State have nothing to say about the Drug War. The finance arm of the Deep State. You will find that is true of all the major Deep State “haters”. Just to name a few on the right – Breitbart,…

( About 10 minutes )

( About 18 minutes ) Supporting material mentioned in the video: Thread reader version Twitter version

( About 56 minutes ) Update: 29 March 2019 0150z This video is from 2012. Since then some questions have been asked. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean? It means that water vapor…

This video is from September of 1997. Over one year on things are even worse. And Donald Trump has invited Russia (and by implication China) to leave Venezuela. Uh. Oh. ( About 6 minutes )
