Glorious Bad News


Bad News Hot Rod
Four Speed Films

This post doesn't really have anything to do with cars. I Googled the title and this was the first image that popped up, and because I am a sucker for hotrods, it's here. Hemmings Motor News has the story about the car. But now back to the original topic.

I really don't understand what's going on. The COVID-19 panic doesn't make any sense to me, and the Black Lives Matter campaign is just a lot of noise. On one hand I would like to think that there is a cabal of evil motherfuckers orchestrating these two piles of crap. On the other, maybe there is no one directing it, maybe it's just a big pinwheel of fire that some idiots lit and now it's going to keep burning bigger and faster until it finally breaks free of its axle and goes hurtling out into the darkness.

Stories about riots and rampant disease draw a bigger audience which means more advertising revenue for the big companies that are producing these stories, which means they are going to produce more such stories, each one more inflammatory than the last, so the pinwheel burns brighter and spins faster.

In other words, the big media companies have found a magic formula for making more money and if it destroys the world economy and Western Civilization, well that's just too bad. Their profits are up and that's all that matters.

JMSmith has a couple of excellent posts about the flood of bullshit sweeping the country. The Unwanted Blog has one as well that includes this quote:
“The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.” ― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Mythos Tales

P.S.  Tom Luongo has great post on Gold Goats N' Guns. He definitely believes in the conspiracy of evil motherfuckers. Via Tyler Durden on Zerohedge

When I see that flashing blue light in the mirror I think, oh shit how much trouble/money is this going to cost me. I would imagine it’s the same for you. But for the black guy it’s a genuine and justified fear for his life.
That’s how BLM started but really not the why, that is the systematic oppression they endure.

If you keep reading blogs that reinforce your opinion you’ll never understand there’s no deep state, the conspiracies are all tiny ones we don’t hear of because they involve less than three people.

So many people want to show the world they’re smarter than the average bear, can’t be fooled, not falling for conspiracies like the masses. In doing so doubt legitimate information and grasp at farfetched crap from some guy on the net. If you want to be smart ignore people who you agree with and seek people you don’t. Then ask them why, how did they come to that conclusion, what evidence do they have.

As for the corona virus I’ll bet some of those 200,000 dead people thought it was a hoax.
Be careful and be well, Sir.
