WW2, Luftwaffe attacking British military airfields. the military needed decoy hardware; factories priced them at hundreds of pounds.

the film industry asked for pennies. *from distance* you couldn't tell the difference; only *up close* you see it's cheap decoration.

2/
Biden's campaign is ran by the TV and quite cheap when you look up close.

@SomeBitchIKnow key points from his thread:

1/
tech talk checks out

2/
the testing methodology discussed (counting viral RNA) is somewhat open to interpretation and tweaking of process/parameters; also suffers from notable lag between peak detection & peak actual viral load (infectiousness)

@SomeBitchIKnow

@SomeBitchIKnow key points from his thread, ctd:

3/
given low % of infection in population and high testing %, the false positives are disproportionate

4/
implied: "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes." (Goodhart's Law)

>This is what civilizational collapse looks like

1/
the dark cloud:

a major risk of civilizational collapse indeed, but not for the reasons you think

2/
look around:

now that the media's tribe is in throes and *might* collapse culturally, the best chance would be a competing tribe to carry on the torch

even before collapse, a competing tribe is good to keep the quality up & prices down. i.e., keep the messaging *honest*.

3/
unforced error:

through pervasive propaganda, the media changed the originally multi-tribe society led by men into a mono-tribe led media. the tribe became synonymous with the state, and the state became total.

in the name of unity we gave up the idea of ever questioning.

blowing smoke

Biden wants nuclear disarmament of North Korea as a *prerequisete to meet*?

Obama and Biden's administration *screwed Ukraine big time*; nobody can trust USA's word on that for a couple decades

2/
a sovereign state:

Ukraine had decent nuclear arsenal, inherited from Soviet Union

a bit dated & not enough to launch a major war, but plenty enough to keep itself *safe* from foreign attack

3/
a deal made made:

in 1994 Ukraine signed Memorandum, getting assurances of territorial integrity from USA, UK, Russia in exchange for dismantling the weapons (disarmament)
