    WHAT’S THE SUPREME COURT GOING TO DECIDE REGARDING TRUMP ON THE BALLOT?

    I just recorded a segment for the Stew Peters Show (https://t.co/nAYmaiRMCf) on the Colorado Court’s findings against Trump, barring him from the ballot (not really).

    I mean, y’all expect me to be thorough, right? That’s my job. But we only had ten or twelve minutes so I couldn’t get through all the material. And as a result it was a bit of a speed run. But I think I got the main points across if not the usual ‘rigor’ of my arguments.

    I’ll post my notes (the full argumet) for the show here on Twitter and on the Website later today (still adding bits to it).

    Criteria The Court Must Use In Deciding This Matter

    1) What was the State of mind of Trump – What was he attempting to do if anything?

    2) What were the ambitions of the participants in Jan6 event – what were their reasons and ambitions?

    3) Whether it was an insurrection or not?
    (Given: |Severity|: Demonstration > protest > riot > rebellion, > insurrection > civil war > facilitation of conquest by others)

    4) Whether defining Jan 6th as an insurrection opens the door to more abuses of the courts in these matters?

    5) Whether they want to permit the states to circumvent the people, given the presidency and the electoral college are federal tests of concurrency, in lieu of a high court findings of an insurrection. Conversely, whether the court feels it is the only viable institution capable of making that decision. (Note: Probably. The legislture lacks the constraints of a court, and as such legislatures solve political questions but not legal questions. While say, impeachment is a political question (decision, agreement), insurrection is a legal question (fact,disagreement).)

    6) Whether they want to enable the use of similar pretenses of insurrection to disqualify any candidate by his words, his deeds, or by constructive undermining of a candidate through causing conflict and escalation independent of the will of the candidate.

    7) Whether any other externalities would be produced that might effect the electoral process as a test of the people by concurrency. There are plenty of rasons the people might want a radical change in the policy of the governmetn without replacing the system of government or even altering the constitutions – such as whether the deep state really exists and really is working against the interests of the people – especially where the test of concurrency exists across our constitution to preserve minority interest not advance majority interests over them.

    So I’ll answer these questions and more, in the post I will release later today,

    (Short answer? Unless a miracle happens he’ll be on the ballot.)

    The Purpose of Public Intellectuals: @PeterZeihan’s Benevolent Biases

    Peter’s (@PeterZeihan) stated he’s slightly left of center. And that position makes complete sense given his history, his career, his knowledge, his market, and even his now vast audience.

    Every public intellectual has a bias otherwise we wouldn’t be able to say much of anything with any persuasion or conviction. 😉 In other words, every bias, at least in the abstract assits in decidability. And without some bias not only couldn’t we categorize, use logic, and predict, but we couldn’t decide anything.

    IMO the purpose of public intellectuals is to identify opportunities and risks, and the market for the work products of public intellectuals should collectively, not uniquely, inform our decisions both private and public.

    As I posted earlier today, there are at least three categories of globalism:
    1. information/culture,
    2. economic, and
    3. political.
    The first two are good. The third is very, very, very bad.

    Peter Zeihan (@PeterZeihan) is an atlanticist, but not a globalist – at least not a political globalist. But he is very concerned about a future in which the USA, or the anglosphere, or some combination of the anglosphere with europe, maintains the world system of sovereignty, law, finance, and trade.

    Because otherwise a whole lotta people are gonna get a whole lot poorer and a whole lotta little wars are going to happene, and there is a whole lotta chances for another world war.

    DISAMBIGUATING GLOBALISM
    Common Misunderstanding of “Globalism”. Globalism = ~Free Trade (world system of law, finance, and trade.)

    Informational Globalism was made possible by transport trade and communication systems. To some degree it has always existed.
    Economic Globalism was made possible by the USA’s capture of the British Empire and the Postwar strategy to prevent further world wars by creating economic interdependence. To some degree the USA succeeded which raised mankind out of ignorance and poverty.
    Political Globalism is a misguided effort by two factions in the west to ride on the USA’s capacity to produce economic globalism. To no degree is this ever possible – or in mankind’s interest. Since all monopolies are devolutionary.

    FWIW:
    (1. Globalization is ending and rather rapidly – in fact the present international conflicts are the result of the USA’s ‘managed decline’ of the global order it (we) produced under the postwar consensus, because our marginal advantage due to population, technology, and incentives has been eliminated.)

    (2. It is likely that if we are to preserve participatory government (rule of law, concurrency, commonality, republics) that women will require their own house (senate upper house, lower house) just as historically the classes have had their own houses – since women (or at least single and white women) are the only ‘defectors’ from the western tradition of truth before face, and the institutionalization of the maximization of individual responsibility for private and common.)

    (3. If we do not solve the reproduction problem then we might as well stop talking. (And global IQ declin will accelerate into a crash.) I’ve worked on this problem … quite hard really … and the attention-hyperconsumption-hypergamy-irresponsibility-non_loyalty problem of adding single and childless women to the economy and polity is favoring feminine instincts (a pendulum swing) of hyper-selfishness when those instincts evolved to extend her nervous system for the emotinoal, behavioral, and physical regulation of offspring.)
