THREAD: Los Angeles Fire 2025

Seen setting a fire, but not charged with arson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfNHr2lKm2Y {Decoy Voice | 11 January 2025} As the wildfires rage across Los Angeles, CA. An unknown male was allegedly seen setting fires to an old Christmas tree and garbage cans. The local residents detained him for LAPD, but he later was not charged with arson. What is wrong with LA?

Congestion Pricing Lobbyist ATTACKED In NYC Subway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvmwRYKQNBo {Actual Justice Warrior | 12 January 2025} In this video I discuss a story out of New York City where a woman who is the president of an organization that sued to force New York to tax drivers was attacked in the subway the same day the congestion tax went into effect.

To be clear, I don't support term limits - but I don't really oppose them, either . I just think the supporters of term limits are going to be disappointed with the results, which are apt to be a wash, at best. "Excessive" incumbency and the problems associated with it are the symptoms, not the disease. I considered mentioning something to that effect in my previous post.

Well, duh... those who behaved violently were hired actors. I suspect Pelosi et al did the hiring. I also suspect none of them were arrested.

I did not have "Steve Bannon: Staunch & Vocal Champion of Anti-Racism" on my 2025 bingo card.

I am skeptical of the value of term limits. At best, they're apt to be more of a cosmetic bandage than anything else. Regularly cycling out the few really good Congressmen we manage to get (such as Thomas Massie) - just so they can be replaced with a steady stream of mediocrities - doesn't seem like such a great idea to me. But in any case, Congress is pretty much just a dog-and-pony-show veneer for the executive plantation's permanent phalanxes of entrenched bureaucrats, lobbyists,"stakeholders", etc. - which routinely fob their collective nose at Congressional authority and "oversight" (LOL). I don't see how adding a game of "musical chairs" to the mix will do much if anything to address that problem. (In fact, it could make the problem even more impervious to mitigation than it already is.) Less time and effort should be wasted on trying to get the feds to play right, and more time and effort should be spent on trying to get the states to just stop playing the fed's game with the feds' deck of cards on the feds' table under the feds' rules (although admittedly, that isn't likely to happen, either ... at least, not until SHTF, if even then).

THREAD: The collapse of complex societies

THREAD: The collapse of complex societies

The Collapse of Complex Societies - Professor Joseph Tainter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3LP5IMWe84 {Plans B | 10 April 2023} Professor Joseph Tainter is an American anthropologist and historian studied anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Northwestern University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1975. As of 2012 he holds a professorship in the Department of Environment and Society at Utah State University. In this interview Professor Tainter discusses the thesis of his widely acclaimed work “The Collapse of Complex Societies”, 25 years after its publication in 1988. His book is among great classics of the study of collapse. In my view a work whose quality and relevance is comparable to Limits to Growth.

It’s complex, multifaceted, and undeniable. But at its core lies a chilling truth: falling intelligence, collapsing values, and self-destructive ideologies are accelerating the unraveling of our civilization. original - OB]

https://x.com/CCrowley100/status/1877989550925967717 The WEST is FINISHED and I FINALLY Know WHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drwuaSA8f28 {Fast Jet Performance | 10 January 2025} Civilizational collapse is no relic of the past or mere curiosity for court historians, whose interests often veer into the irrelevant and removed from the pressing realities of today. Collapse is a recurring phenomenon, an inevitable stage in the life cycle of societies. As the West faces internal fractures and accelerating decline, it is imperative to understand the forces that have undone great civilizations before us. In "The Collapse of Complex Societies," Joseph A. Tainter provides a framework for analyzing this decline. As an anthropologist, his approach stands apart from the abstractions of historians. Tainter reveals that complexity—vital for societal advancement, particularly in an increasingly globalized and technologized world—carries within it the seeds of its own destruction. Societies that grow increasingly complex invest more in solving problems through administrative, technological, and bureaucratic means, yet these solutions yield diminishing returns. Over time, the cost of maintaining the system outweighs its benefits, creating a tipping point where collapse becomes not just possible but the rational culmination of a managed decline.

THREAD: Riots in Dublin after 3 children stabbed

US government brands Dublin riots as terrorism by Irish white supremacists New report monitoring global terror incidents lists Ireland as one of six countries targeted by white supremacists. https://www.thejournal.ie/dublin-riots-white-identity-terrorism-6589040-Jan2025/ {Patricia Devlin | 10 January 2025} THE US GOVERNMENT has branded rioting which broke out on the streets of Dublin in 2023 as “white identity terrorism”. In a new report released by the US Department of State, the violence was blamed on “Irish white supremacists and ultranationalists” spreading “anti-immigrant” disinformation online. The annual Country Reports on Terrorism, which monitors terror attacks around the world, listed Ireland as one of six countries impacted by “White Identity Terrorism” (WIT) or “Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism” (REMVE).

This will outrage everybody in CA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzF6n91CYeo {Decoy Voice | 10 January 2025} As the wild fires all across Los Angeles, CA are still at 0% containment, LA residents are angry over the fire hydrants being empty. The Pacific Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire in Alta Dena aren't the only issues, as the Sunset Fire in Studio City and the Kenneth Fire near Woodland Hills recently broke out too. As Mayor Karen Bass returns from a wedding in Ghana and California Governor Gavin Newsom shows up without a solution, residents are angry at their leaders. Especially since old footage surfaces showing how they cut budgets and ignored warnings that could have mitigated the disaster.
