    Sorry Bibi. But ya know, you thought the lobby was gonna help you. But you didn’t count on getting an anti-white Muslim in the white house, now did you? So now, despite your empty rhetoric, there is going to be another holocaust. Another diaspora. And why? Because you thought you could control the white man. Instead, you destroyed him. And with him the only people who will ever grant you shelter. I’m a nationalist. For everyone. Including a Jewish nationalist. But nations require land holding. Land holding requires land holding ethics and morals. And apparently you don’t understand the lesson of the rise and fall of Judea: jews lacked the moral and ethical basis for land holding. And you still do.

    Fight or die. There is no alternative. Words only work against christians. We are the only people who feel guilt. The rest of the world is merciless.

    ON REPAIRING WESTERN PRESS

    Roman got me thinking last week, about the central difficulty with western press’ reliance on telling both sides of the STATED story, instead of whether they tell the truth given the INCENTIVES of both sides, regardless of what they state.

    Telling both sides merely gives the liars equal air play as the truth tellers.

    And it’s much easier for a ‘journalist’ to report on someone’s feelings, and speech than it is to report on facts and incentives. It’s much easier to create moral outrage or high ground with verbalism that obscures incentives, rather than the incentives themselves.

    To report ‘scientifically’ is possible with propertarian incentives and testimonial truth. We can systematically criticize what people say, and report on their incentives rather than their propaganda.

    But that means retraining a lot of ‘journalists’ and eliminating the perverse incentives that we have produced with the popular press.

    And the press, who free rides on destruction of the informational commons, may not like carrying the burden. On the other hand, we would have a lot fewer ‘journalists’ and they would be highly respected – and highly paid.

    And I think that’s something all of us would like.

  • What Is The Significance Of Jean Baudrillardâ´s For A Critique Of The Political Economy Of The Sign?

    As an activist philosopher engaged in restoring modernism I see Baudrillard’s work as one of the death rattles of postmodernism.  

    But that does not mean that it is not possible to restate some of his ideas in ratio-scientific terms.  And that is, that as we grow in prosperity, our patterns of consumption changes from survival, to risk reduction, to fulfillment, to purely signaling.  And that much of the consumer economy consists of little more than signaling. 

    Unfortunately, by couching his thought in postmodern pseudoscience, empty verbalism,  and pretense of reason, he doomed his contributions to the dustbin of history along with all of marxism.

    The more interesting question is when does such signaling become lying?  When are signals of falsehoods occurring at the expense of material improvement of life?

    That’s a problem I haven’t spent much time on, but I think it’s the scientific means of exploring his ideas.

    http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/17/russia-words-to-destroy-meaning-writers-nobelII. RUSSIA’S PROPAGANDA STRATEGY

    (Roman Skaskiw)

    1) Affect the first impression. First impressions are known to be very sticky even after future, contradictory evidence. So with every story, they try to create a firestorm of competing narratives. (Ukraine’s protesters are CIA NAZI’s, Russia is NOT ivading, Boris Nemtsov was killed by Chechens – or by the CIA, MH-17)

    They have a rapid reaction force of liars and propagandists.

    2) Create confusion and hesitation. It doesn’t matter if they are proved wrong. There’s no shame in lying. They have a short sited strategy of getting enemies and other political forces to hesitate.

    3) Destroy the very idea of truth — by making it seem like the least interesting of many equally valid possibilities.

    This was first observed by Peruvian nobel-prize winning writer Mario Vargas Llosa. (http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/17/russia-words-to-destroy-meaning-writers-nobel)

    4) Pollute the communication commons, especially the internet – because they fear their people.

    —” Also, by working every day to spread Kremlin propaganda, the paid trolls have made it impossible for the normal Internet user to separate truth from fiction.

    “The point is to spoil it, to create the atmosphere of hate, to make it so stinky that normal people won’t want to touch it,” Volkov said, when we met in the office of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation. “You have to remember the Internet population of Russia is just over 50 percent. The rest are yet to join, and when they join it’s very important what is their first impression.” The Internet still remains the one medium where the opposition can reliably get its message out. But their message is now surrounded by so much garbage from trolls that readers can become resistant before the message even gets to them.”— (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/magazine/the-agency.html)

    (Roman Skaskiw)

    1) The lies that westerners encounter are nothing compared to the lies Russia’s domestic population is subjected to. They publish photos from their own massacres in Chechnya & Georgia and claim it is Ukraine / from Syria / from the Balkan war / even from movies.

    http://www.examiner.com/list/russia-s-top-120-lies-about-ukraine?CID=examiner_alerts_article

    2) Two different stories about Crimea.

    Within months, Putin went from denying Russia invaded Crimea to bragging that he ordered the “operation”. There was no outcry at all in Russia media. This is normal for them — they see pride and strength in being able to deceive others.

    3) Many various (and contradictory) stories about MH-17.

    – Claim that the plane was diverted into separatist airspace to make them look bad. Invented a fake story about a Spanish air traffic controller working in Ukraine who claimed on Twitter that he witnessed the plane being diverted.

    – Claim (by separatist leader Igor “Strelkov” Girkin) that MH-17 was filled with dead bodies and crashed on purpose to make them look bad.

    – Claim that a Ukrainian BUK shot down MH-17 because they thought Putin was on it.

    – Claim that a Ukrainian jet shot down MH-17.

    (Dutch, German, Malaysian, and independent British investigation all reach the same conclusion about MH-17, though they state it with different degrees of diplomatic nicety.)
