    I LOVE THE IDEA THAT MY ANCESTORS HELPED PAY FOR MONT ST MICHELLE

    —“Radulphus de Dolieta, Testemonio: For forgiveness of misdeeds of himself and his predecessors and successors he grants in the time of William, King of England, to the Monks of St. Michael for the brotherhood and the prayers of St. Michael and the Monks, his servants, all the dues on his lands, etc. [Recorded in original charters in archives of La Manche, Abbey of Mont St. Michael for Benedictine monks in Diocese of Avranche, France, A.D. 1085-1087. ]”—-

    No idea what he did for this. But it happened AFTER he was supposed to be in England.

    —“In the Second World War, Imperial Japan dropped thousands of plague-infested fleas on Chinese cities.

    Developed at its covert “Unit 731” biological and chemical warfare facility, these attacks are believed to have killed around 400,000 civilians.

    …

    There are antibiotics available to counter the disease, but they are ineffective if not administered within a day of the onset of symptoms. With most doctors having little experience of the disease, it is unlikely it would be identified before it’s too late.

    And given the symptoms are easily mistaken for that of a common flu, he said it was imperative a vaccine is developed.

    The window for antibiotic treatment is very narrow, so it is usually between 20 – 24 hours after the appearance of the symptoms of the disease. If you delay the treatment then you will still see people dying.

    A HISTORY OF PLAGUE AS A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON

    Given the virality of the plague, history is littered with instances of it being used as a biological weapon.

    Historical accounts from the far east describe it being used by the Mongols, Huns and rampaging Chinese armies to infect adversaries.This involved catapulting infected animals or corpses of plague victims into besieged cities, or dumping them into water supplies to infect enemies’ drinking water.

    During the Second World War, Imperial Japan pioneered warheads filled with disease-ridden rats, mice, clothing and fleas which it dropped on Chinese civilians.The disease had been developed at the so-called “Unit 731” facility in northeast China, which was the site of some of Japan’s most horrendous war crimes. An estimated 250,000 people were subjected to experimentation at the site.

    Following the war, both the US and Russia harnessed the technology – much of which was based on Japanese and German research – to use plague as a weapon.Studies have since revealed the USSR focused on developing “aerosolized” forms of the disease – thereby removing the need for it to be transmitted via infected fleas or animals.And despite being a signatory to a convention banning the development of such weapons, Russia was found to still be creating the weapons as late as the 1990s when former USSR microbiologist Ken Alibek defected to the US.

    The plague is physically transmitted, just like Ebola, so therefore simple quarantine measures are effective. If this scenario was to actually work, then we would have seen epidemic level plaque outbreaks after the dark ages when we learned it was spread by microbe infected rats and fleas. There have not been any of that type of outbreak that wasn’t quickly quarantined.

    Americans talk about food all the time because eating all the time is all they have in common – the anti-social society, thanks to the left’s attack on ‘integration’.

    James Augustus Berens:

    —“Heroic Man, by necessity, is uncultured—more precisely de-cultured. He seeks the destruction in himself of that which is untrue, dishonest, lowly. For industrialized mass culture is driven by values produced and consumed by the herd, those domesticated masses so enthralled with their own mediocrity that their sheepishness eludes them.

    Indeed an honest observer would risk little to note that common man, that tame, soft fellow seems almost incapable of grasping even the most basic of truths about his fundamental condition.

    But mans collective mastery over nature subsumes with it the elimination, nay the distancing, of the contest; and as such, the ultimate test of that which he values. It has come to pass that we are so free of our original burden—the shrill and unforgiving mistress we call nature—that we actively hold anti-values as the highest of all values, and the consequences for our mis-valuations are so far removed from the immediately perceptible that it takes a mad man or a genius to see the necessary course of subsequent events (most likely one must suffer through both).

    But Heroic Man gives easily to his own restlessness and distaste of common values. And as such seeks values of the highest degree, only those tested by time, his enemies and nature. And where the random course of events fails to deliver a satisfactory test, the Hero—to the bewilderment of the domesticated herd—most paradoxically tests all that is himself by confronting that primordial principle that governs all of existence, including his own. That is, the law of entropic decline, disorder, decay.

    Only at the edge of near-death, does our Hero re-affirm his values, does he say yes to himself and yes to the world. It is, in this particular manner—the test, crucible & contest—that the Hero transcends mere man, that he aligns himself with The True, The Beautiful & The Good.

    For nothing is more True than Survival.”—

    INTERESTING IDEA: EAST VS WEST CLASS INTERESTS?

    Siraaj Khandkar

    —“Your distinction of two highest tiers is interesting. I always wondered what are the main differences that influenced developments of Western and Eastern Europe (besides geography-necessitated strategies) and one of the things seems to be that Russian highest classes peak at ideas (your lower upper) and rarely prioritize entrepreneurship (this is how I understand your “Power, Associations, Opportunities”).”—

    Curt Doolittle

    ^^^ correct. Although I had not considered that, you’re right. Western judiciary and laws provide protections such that the entrepreneurial class can operate fairly freely without fear of predation by the state. (but omg if you do anything bad the state will eat you in public one bite at a time, to make an example of you.) Russian thinkers are deep and creative. But the entrepreneurial class (a dozen of whom I’ve met) live in relative fear OR evolve into oligarchs that the government fears.

    I also think that the history of Boyars as predators and soviets, then gangsters, and oligarchs have left Russians exhausted and suspecious. Germanic europeans did not have this problem. The princedom’s competed for talent. American europeans didn’t have it at all since we never have had a ‘noble’ class other than the entrepreneurial class we call the ‘Puritans’/Calvinists.

    Americans have a serious problem with our big financial institutions, but any INDIVIDUAL in them is easy to take down. We are so dependent upon those financial institutions, just as Russians are dependent upon their resource institutions.

    I’ve been sort of back and forth on the whole putin vs oligarchs thing, but we need to do a similar thing here in the west. Because the Soros’ and Rothchilds and various large financial institutions do what the oligarchs have done, but just use more sophisticated means of doing it. But our people are just as pissed off. They just are in the condition of Russia in the 1990’s so they aren’t ready to kill people yet. (But we’re getting there.)

    I think what differs between east and west europe is that the highest power in the west are the judges, and the highest power in the east are the rulers. And that’s probably been an historical truth since the dawn of our civilizations. In america even more so than in europe. Our supreme court at least until recently, and our constitution, at least until recently, were considered ‘sacred’. And in western history kings have had a very difficult time usurping the common law. In english history it’s a good way for a king to get killed.

    Interesting take:

    —“Property rights are for farmers and human rights are for migrants (hunters). But when it comes to advanced economies these are both reflex propositions in response to possibilities of defection and the tragedy of the commons.

    The problem we have today is past even managing the despoiling of commons. The ecosystem has become a people-system. And the main problem with this system is that people can occupy every niche but they don’t eat each other.

    This state of affairs is unnatural/unsustainable. Because more and more effort is called for from everyone in a kind of hysteria. And there is no proper instinctual response in place.”— Brian Barr

    (CD: edited as best I could. I can’t quite decompose it. But there is something interesting implied by the failure of the information system he’s referring to.)

  • All Races and Tribes can Transcend the animal man. Let a thousand people’s bloom

    All Races and Tribes can Transcend the animal man. Let a thousand people’s bloom. Let a thousand nations bloom. Let all men transcend.

    We can take our place among the gods. All of us.

    The price of that transcendence is evolution.

    Evolution has a recipe: do not advance the top, but limit the damage of the bottom.

    We call it NATURAL LAW OF SOVEREIGNTY.
