Perceptions gone awry

“I also noted that the painting of DiCaprio outside of his house made him look almost exactly like Jack Nicholson. Most of you probably missed that, but I didn’t since I have written about it previously. There is a theory online that Leo is Jack’s son, though I didn’t come up with it. In that paper I guessed that they were related, but probably not as father/son. However, I read this latest reveal as Tarantino telling me I was wrong. I think he is telling us that Leo is indeed Jack’s son. That’s just my gut reaction, but as you may know my gut has proven to have amazing powers of perception.” (Miles Mathis, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)

I have not seen Once Upon a Time, and am not familiar with the scene he is talking about. I would have left this alone, as I have no personal beef with Miles and like much of his work. However, that last line about “amazing powers of perception” left me with jaw dropped perhaps two inches. It also sent me to my photo files, as Leo DiCaprio is, or was, listed here as a Matt Damon lookalike.

All of this work from the past few years is collected in various files, so I can very quickly run faces side-by-side. It has been a while, but I did some work, and the problem that I encountered was that DiCaprio was not lining up well with Damon or any of the other Damon match-ups. He is, however, in near perfect alignment with Jack Nicholson.

“Paul” McCartney is a pig

I mentioned in a comment in Fauxlex’s post how if this were the 1960s, people might be gathering in the streets in protest. I am not sure I believe that. Even as we do not have “protests” anywhere these days unless organized by professional agitators and staged for news cameras, I don’t know if it was different then. But I could be wrong. It could be that people were less submissive back then.

Coronavirus Panic is Mass Hysteria and Nothing More

I write this post only minutes after the Dow Jones industrial average has closed down 3,000 points and lost 13% in a single day. Bigger than the collapse of 1929. This wasn’t even on the front page of international news outlets. It has been that kind of week. If you follow this blog, you know that we do not feel that there is really a pandemic happening right now. It is cold and flu season, yes. That is all it is. People have colds. Fatality rates have been comically mis-applied and exaggerated. The media has forced a panic down our throats from the top, when all that is really happening is cold and flu season. But at the end of the day, as comical and absurd as this all is at its heart, the saddest part is that panic is panic. It does not matter how manufactured or ridiculous the panic is. Once society is panicking, it really does not matter what caused the panic or whether it makes sense. Society is deep in a panic for the ages right now. It is on par with the greatest instances of mass hysteria in the history of mankind. As calm as the average person claims to be, the damage being inflicted right now is deep and irreversible. Panic is panic, and unfortunately it is very real right now. The ramifications of the past week will reverberate throughout generations to come.

Coronasunday … a few matters concerning the panic attack

We are off for the day on another senior citizen hiking adventure, so if comments go to moderation I won’t be here to free them. Remember that WordPress as a two-link maximum. Other comments go to moderation for reasons I do not understand. For instance, Jon LeBon, a real person of solid mind and good intentions, is automatically put in moderation whenever he comments here. I asked WP to look into the matter, and they did, and came up empty.

I have asked Fauxlex to keep an eye on the moderation bin, but you never know, he might be busy today too, maybe watching March Madness … oh … wait …

AB has put up a centralized link to give everyone an opportunity to listen and look at various matters of evidence and opinion.

Also, there is this link, from an Alexei Kyrilloff comment that leads to a long document published in November of 2018 from the US Patent Office concerning a matter known as “Coronavirus.” I have not have time to do anything other than skim the comprehensible parts, but will do so tomorrow morning. That still does not guarantee comprehension, but it appears at a glance that Coronavirus was patented for use in treatment of bronchitis and as a tool in making better vaccines. If that is the case, someone just grabbed it off the shelf for an alternative use, a mass panic.

Far from the madding crowd … is not possible

We got back from a ski trip earlier today, Nordic skiing and late in the year. There were very few people at a place that has 180 kilometers of trails. It was quiet and away from the madding crowd.

After return I went to the local supermarket for a few things for breakfast sausage recipe that I make. The parking lot was full. I thought that perhaps the snow we were experiencing was going to be a much bigger storm and that people were stocking up. I looked at the weather forecast … no such thing. Just a light dusting.

Perhaps it is not evil, just stupid

I was xc skiing today and had time to think and reflect. I think they key here is the conference held in NYC in October … see posts below. Suppose these are real people, and not spooks, but people who believe that we can have a virus pandemic, having studied Michael Crichton (Andromeda Strain) and Stephen King (The Stand). If that is the case, they want to test our preparedness and measure the fallout of such a pandemic. So they decide, with government approvals around the world, to run a drill. News media, as always is compliant.

Hobgoblinvirus

“We’ll know our disinformation program complete when everything the American public believes is false.”(William Casey, Director of CIA for eight years under President Reagan)*

The above quote came to mind as I looked about me seeing the stampede that Coronavirus has become. It reminded me of another quote:

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” (HL Mencken)

That in mind, the virus should be renamed “hobgoblinvirus.”

I am writing this post to link to AB over at Fakeologist, who has been doing really good work on this hoax. I am not going to reinvent the wheel, just comment briefly on what he has brought us so far.

David Robert Grimes Undermines Conspiracists, Poorly

F4266C43-BD46-4DF4-8626-8B6B94642C68

A few years ago, media outlets started playing up a supposedly scientific study which claimed that conspiracies were basically impossible in the long run. Take a look here. The study is called “On the Viability of Conspiratorial Beliefs” by David Robert Grimes. This was supposed to misdirect the average person from the idea that there really could be conspiracies out there, because they would collapse under their own weight. The media approach was to display this paper as scientific evidence that there just couldn’t be real conspiracies. This is science, you guys! He used a real mathematical formula! All conspiracies are hereby debunked.

In reality, the flaws in this study are so glaringly obvious that a 3rd grader in a science fair would have immediately identified them. The underlying assumptions behind this paper are so deeply flawed that it belongs in the nearest trash can. If I had a printed copy, I would not even deign to use it for toilet paper. Below, I will quote from Grimes’ own study to reveal what a clown show his study actually is.
