Donald Trump - that is, the seasoned actor Donald Trump, with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - has announced his running mate, and it is none other than the celebrated Hollywood darling, James David "JD" Vance.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant so great job on illuminating these plot twists Miri. Donald John Trump and James David Vance or DJ and JD forming the perfect Christian name double act and surname TV.
Completely agree with you, Miri. Just been watching a James Delingpole podcast with Guido Preparata and, as he says, everything is (and always has been) pure Hollywood. It's a very bleak/dark outlook though, especially if you don't believe in God. Thankfully we do as otherwise I think I would despair.
Thanks for the details. I want to read again the biographical article written by Vance to get an understanding of his raison d'etre. DJT is an enigma for me and time will tell where his loyalties lie, and whether he cares for the people. It would appear that JDV is not so caring. The Hollywood connection is disturbing.
Another thing - Peter Thiel's companies ban employees from social media, ensure they don't watch any television, read approved information, are within short commuting distance from work. Failure to comply with any of these requirements leads to.... dismissal. It's a contract.
It did seem to be a bad habit Mr Musk imported from South Africa. Oddly, he left there when he was a mere child - so it's unclear how the plantation thing took hold.
Dear Miri AF, this article has started to work on me...
Print and audio in the context of the era - these were the fastest way to get information during the 1600s-1900s and middle of the last century respectively - also immersed the user. Remember the printing press was the equivalent of the internet, making scripts faster and cheaper than the previous labour intensive approaches, so immediately spreading the word. It was viciously opposed by those who sought to control news - until the output was so widespread the masses learnt to read.
Video - especially terrestrial broadcast - is now over. The relevance is lost, the delusion of those broadcasting is very evident.
Those who seek to rule always want control over who says what when. Hence the crude land grab of social media by almost every Western administration (pay lots of tax or we ban / take over...).
Modern politics is all about the immediate and shallow - the UK is sunk with debt, has serious policy issues, huge tax cash economy and very little works regardless of cost. This is fertile ground for change. Politics as practiced by liberal elites is in the same position as all those televisual buffoons. History.
Thank you Miri, you always put things so aptly (in ALL of your postings) that I can only agree.....of course this is what is going to happen. All of a sudden this JD guy appears and boom, he's in.
Not to mention, he owns millions in crypto as well as claiming that the wage losses in the US are due to China (of course, China) in efforts to build it's middle class!!!! (at 7:40 in this informative vid:
This is my third post. Having now read the link Miri referred to which I thought was honest and genuine. Having read further articles and watched a video from Redacted with Whitney Webb I think the proven links JDV has to Mr Thiel and others are distinctly unhealthy. I have totally changed my mind.
I have now read the article by JDV in the Light magazine where he credits Peter Thiel as being a big influence on his life. It comes across to me as honest and transparent.
I hope his religious sentiments ( I prefer to call them that as his theological views are IMO confused) translate into concern for people. A difficult thing to attain for a party politician.
Perhaps getting people used to going on the dole without a hitch and then when hitch needed connecting, it'll be no problem at all to get them down to grocery store for their poison. It was so easy the first time and the second time, well, all you need to do is get this poison injected and your digital bank will be full once again.
Yes and it has already given the millennial generation no cause to want to work as well as the desire for UBI. (And I don't mean the whole generation, but a good part of it.)
"Woo hoo, I can do what I want and get paid for it." That is....until.....
I agree with Farleyboy. That was the trial round to see how responsive or not we all were. Next time could be the real thing. UBI obviously gives them more control, not always in obvious ways.

I cannot find this podcast anywhere. Is it recent?
It’s on Locals. I subscribe to James D there. In due course (in a few days) I think it should make it onto the Delingpod.

Thank you Miri for this in-depth information and for shining the light.

Agreed
Very interesting, and I think it's entirely plausible that "crisis actors" are sent out to infiltrate real-world environments as you suggest.
