  • “In American politics, they say that the cover up is always worse than the crime

    —-“In American politics, they say that the cover up is always worse than the crime. Come clean and you will be just fine. Putin’s is a case of a criminal regime where the crime is so bad that the costs of cover up pale by comparison. Putin can only hope that the world will be distracted by another outrage, that he can stone wall any investigation, and that his apologists can stave off action by international criminal tribunals. If he fails, he is in deep trouble. It is up to his inner circle and the Russian people to figure out how to make sure he leaves the scene. After all, Vova has outstayed his welcome.”—–

    –” As a Russian analyst notes Putin has “never admitted a single error” and “never made a single step backward” in his 15 year rule. His KGB training requires him to double down, fight his way out, turn up the pressure, never admit, never retreat. He will continue his support of his proxies in east Ukraine and hope that the West’s attention span will be short.”—

    WHAT WAS THE AGENDA OF THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL?

    —“facilitating radical individualism (social atomization) among gentiles while retaining a powerful sense of group cohesion among Jews—the agenda of the Frankfurt School.”—

    You know, truth would have worked a lot better. Why wasn’t the truth amenable? Was there some reason that truth was problematic? Why is it that our tribes cannot unite? Would identity be lost? Has it been lost to any tribe? No. Why cannot we form a global elite that is mutually beneficial?

    #ukraine #ukraine You can easily accuse Ukrainians of naivety and incompetence, but you can’t accuse the Russians of either – plus they lie.

    I LOVE PUTTING ANOTHER SPEAR INTO ROTHBARDIAN LIBERTINISM

    I didn’t expect to come to the conclusion that the west’s advantage is truth telling.

    But if my argument against the NAP/IVP wasn’t enough of a moral one to provide ideological fervor to a population, the fact that libertinism is desirable by ‘the people who lie” and aristocracy desirable by “the people who tell the truth”, certainly is inspiring, morally inciting, and a single concept to which a movement can be reduced.

    “The People Who Speak The Truth”

    Everyone else lies. It’s pretty good. You can build a an ideology, a philosophy, a movement, a government, and a civilization on that principle.

    “The People Who Insure One Another’s Property With The Promise Of Violence”

    Everyone else is a free rider.

    “The People Who Choose Sovereignty Instead of Submission”

    Everyone else is merely a slave. And they deserve the results of their slavery.

  • EMPIRE OF LIES? IS RUSSIA A FAILED STATE? The author gives an accurate depiction

    http://skibinsky.com/no-russian/THE EMPIRE OF LIES? IS RUSSIA A FAILED STATE?

    The author gives an accurate depiction of how Ukraine escaped the Moscow Mafia. But is he correct in his somewhat colloquial analysis of the russian government? I think so. Economists agree. Although not in such unpleasant terms.

    Too bad. I had great hopes for russia. I love russians and russian culture. But can they do what the Ukrainian’s have done? Throw out the mafia? I don’t think so. Half the country is on the dole.

    Damn. Looks like there will be collateral damage to Popper.

    Dialectic an unaccountability for one’s words, as well as for one’s hypotheses.

    Reimagining platonism to do it.

    Our heroes fail us.

    DIALECTICAL FALLACIES : TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF YOUR MOUTH

    —“It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way.— Karl Marx, in a letter to Engels, 1857
