I want him to start up his own website because I think that if he were to do so, he would rapidly realize that very few people would find his writings interesting, and he would get less money than Fred Reed – and fewer readers than Larry Kummer, who has been running the “Fabius Maximus” site into the ground for years.”

They exist to serve as a human machinery to the institution and an inoffensive face to the world.

The heart and lungs of the Complex is everything else: the “private” industry, its equity-endowed owner-courtiers, and the organization-spanning network of insiders that constitute its managerial class.

And at the top, those who have no reports and no titles, and who set policy.

They aren’t exceptionally bright, educated, or well-motivated. The idea of those guys organising more than a moderate bureaucratic challenge strikes me as risible.

Would be nice if they were, then paranoia conspiracy fruitiness would be more justified.

”You will have austerity and you will like it,” he says.

How about no. How about we tell all of these small-souled bean counters to FUCK OFF. How about we partake in such stupendous indulgent abundance as you wouldn’t believe.

No more fake jobs. No more fake debt. No more corporate monopolies.

No more imposed austerity and managed decline.

Unlimited free energy for all! In Russia, you pay gas company; in America, gas company pay YOU.

Extravagance and waste! Freedom and danger! Uncharted waters and promise of adventure!

Free money. Free the money. Free it from the clammy claws of the bankers and the bureaucrats. Bring forth the Sword of Liberty. Let the rivers run green and the streets run ***.

Fuck you, bean counters.

Fuck You, Bean Counters.

FUCK YOU, BEAN COUNTERS.

THE BLOND BEAST YEARNS TO BREATHE FREE.

From the very beginning it was funded and promoted by the Rockefeller Foundation. Later it was brought under the aegis of the Central Intelligence Complex (CIC) as Gloria Steinem so famously revealed.

You are living in an engineered reality. All aspects have been carefully crafted by others, including your belief that spontaneous, democratic phenomena are real.

Look it up.

Did I say that? Wasn’t what I said in the context of “patriarchy” or “matriarchy”? Did you not understand that? Let me make it easy for you. The comments I made above are in the context, meaning they relate to or are about, “patriarchy” or “matriarchy” and how some of these related items have effects on society as a whole.

And by the way I’m sure the Romans had some sort of “CIA” but I bet they called it something different as they spoke Latin.

The Romans had a CIA?

Thu, 07 May 2020 12:37:42 +0000 https://www.isegoria.net/?p=46611#comment-3154283 It’s my understanding that the Romans followed a path exactly like we are doing. Women were given no fault divorce and child support payments just like today. Rapidly, as today, your average guy got a raw deal out of this and stopped getting married. It got so bad that the Roman State forced through a bachelors tax. This of course failed and whole sections of the Roman Empire went to waste. When the barbarians attacked none of the Men found anything there worth fighting for so the whole thing crumbled. I think this is the reason Rome fell. Nothing to do with lead pipes or other silliness. If the State gives Men nothing worth fighting for they will cease to do so.

A data point. Sparta let their Women do mostly as they pleased. Athens kept their Women indoors and strictly governed their relations. Spartan Men went through the most grueling trials and suppression of individualism of most known societies to stay on top. Spartan Women had one job to do, just one, have children. They didn’t do it. Sparta ran out of Men and they were defeated.

Western Man has created marvels and raised a mighty civilization and now our Women refuse to have children and have become in very large numbers, repulsive.

Web scraper written in Python using regular expressions. I wanted it to work for all WordPress blogs, but, without needed tweaks, it works only for Isegoria.

There are various Python libraries that make web-scraping pretty easy. I can’t recommend any, off hand, because I usually scrape the simple, geeky way. Saves having to pick a web scraper library du jour. Unfortunately, just fetching the URL’s content and running it through a regular expression doesn’t work for many sites. They can create what you see using inside your browser using Javascript. So, YMMV. A glance tells me that Medium postings can be scraped with regular expressions.

On the subject of Toward Data Science, there’s this:

https://kennis-research.shinyapps.io/Bayes-App/

which I found when I was thinking of doing much the same as that web app. The idea is to give Mr. Everyman a feel for what the hell is meant by “Covid 19 testing” despite what someone saying those words thinks they mean.

Ah, reading comments from only one person is a bit like hearing one side of a telephone call.
