    RUSSIAN DECEPTION

    —“As long as there are fools in this world.

    It’s handy for us to live off deception.

    How blue is the sky?

    For a fool we need no knife!

    Lie to him – three boxes worth,

    And do with him whatever you want”—

    “WISH YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND KILL HITLER? WELL, WE WILL BE SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT PUTIN. PUTIN HAS SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE? WE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT HITLER.”

    The postwar era was a valiant attempt to enforce respect for borders, and force governments to focus internally – and prevent another world war. Putin started the conflict of civilizations all over again – and abandoned a european future for Russians.

    He has however, killed progressivism. Unfortunately, immigration is killing aristocratic conservatism.

    We nationalized once.

    Time to nationalize again.

  • “All human history can be portrayed as the history of deception.” Alexander Vlad

    “All human history can be portrayed as the history of deception.”

    Alexander Vladimirov, vice-president of Russia’s Collegium of Military Experts

    “But it’s Russia, he tells me, with unmistakable pride, that has over the centuries really honed these techniques to perfection.”

    “The Russian strategy, both at home and abroad, is to say there is no such thing as truth”

  • PUTIN: THE RESULT OF WESTERN WEAKNESS – THE POWER VACUUM (By walter russell mead

    PUTIN: THE RESULT OF WESTERN WEAKNESS – THE POWER VACUUM (By walter russell meade)

    “President Obama and his European colleagues utterly failed to predict the invasion of Ukraine, and have repeatedly underestimated both Putin’s determination and his ability to defy cherished Western norms on the road to his long-term project of rebuilding the Soviet Union at Western expense. “

    “Putin doesn’t see his job as one of building up a powerful force to counter a rising Germany. He sees his job as being able to take advantage of the coming failures and catastrophes of what he believes to be the grandiose and unsustainable Western project in Europe.”

    “Putin believes that Germany is now a posthistorical nation in the sense that it is unwilling to fight. It may belong to NATO and have an army, but the German population as a whole is as pacifistic now as the British and French publics were in the 1930s. German politicians and newspaper intellectuals prattle on about NATO, Putin believes, but when the chips are down, they would rather yield a thousand Donbasses than fight a single campaign.”

    “…In this calculation, Germany is overextended and lacks the wit, the will and the wherewithal to stabilize the large and elaborate construct of the enlarged, post 1990-EU. With Merkel in Napoleon’s place, Putin may see Europe today looking much as Alexander I must have seen it as Napoleon retreated from Moscow. Italy is mutinous, Spain in flames, Britain defiant and France is no happier with Merkel today than Austria was with Napoleon in 1813.”

    “…The United States, meanwhile, is from this Russian perspective strategically clueless and largely out of the game. President Obama is amusing himself with various pursuits and his incoherent and crisis-ridden Middle East mix of policies gives him no time to think hard about Europe; Congress lacks the cohesion and the constitutional means to force an alternative on him.”

    “…Putin seems to believe that the false foundations underneath the imposing façade of the West continue to erode at an accelerating pace. It does not take a strong push to knock over a house of cards; Putin, one suspects, still thinks he can win. He is certainly acting that way.”

    MORE ON LESTER’S JUSTIFICATIONARY NONSENSE.

    (archived from elsewhere)

    Lee

    ie: Unless you or anyone else can demonstrate that our cooperative emotions (moral intuitions), and our pre-cooperative emotions, that inform us (reward and punish us) for acquisition and defense of that which we have born costs to hold or obtain – physical costs – then no, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a pre-propertarian cause of liberty. Period. It is however, possible to state, that our satisfaction or distress is dependent upon the imposition of costs by others.

    So. No. Sorry. Lesterianism = Tautology. A “Word Game”.

    The operational definition of liberty is a condition in which interpersonal moral constraints, are enforced upon political organizations. Where moral constraints prohibit imposition of costs (free riding). Where costs are imposed upon one’s property.

    Property rights are a contract for insurance by others that limits the enforcement of the prohibition on the imposition of costs to those that are disruptive to the reproductive, productive, and institutional orders.

    Motion, Memory, Acquisitiveness, Subjective Value, Property, Cooperation, Morality, Property Rights and Liberty, all refer to a sequence of sets of necessary properties, and are invariant no matter how you verbalize them, from which observer’s perspective you verbalize them, and how you verbally justify them.

    Lester gave us another bit of rationalist nonsense to use as justification, but it’s just another bit of rationalist nonsense to use as justification, and not a description of necessary and sufficient causal relations.

    It’s intellectually embarrassing really. But then, an awful lot of libertarian tripe is intellectually embarrassing. Because nearly all political tripe is intellectually embarrassing justification for obtaining what our reproductive strategies demand of us.

    There is no exit from the box. As far as I can tell this is a settled question.

    Cheers.
