“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted upon any lessons they might have drawn from it.”
Georg Hegel, German philosopher (1770-1831)
“Perhaps the cause of our contemporary pessimism is our tendency to view history as a turbulent stream of conflicts — between individuals in economic life, between groups in politics, between creeds in religion, between states in war. This is the more dramatic side of history; it captures the eye of the historian and the interest of the reader… History has been too often a picture of the bloody stream. The history of civilization is a record of what happened on the banks.”
Will Durant, American writer (1885-1981)

Denialism is an essentially irrational action that withholds the validation of a historical experience or event when a person refuses to accept an empirically verifiable reality
well really?
Historical negationism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_negationism
This is not the same as historical revisionism, a broader term that extends to newly evidenced, fairly reasoned academic reinterpretations of history.[5] In attempting to revise the past, historical negationism acts as illegitimate historical revisionism by using techniques inadmissible in proper historical discourse, such as presenting known forged documents as genuine, inventing ingenious but implausible reasons for distrusting genuine documents, attributing conclusions to books and sources that report the opposite, manipulating statistical series to support the given point of view, and deliberately mistranslating texts

the only people who will lose are those who dont know
To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
collapse the economy, and change the state in the panic for our good
i wonder if they ever did THAT before? dont you?
actually i know…
“knowledge is power” is often attributed to Francis Bacon, from his Meditationes Sacrae (1597). Thomas Jefferson used the phrase in his correspondence on at least four occasions, each time in connection with the establishment of a state university in Virginia
so i guess purposeful ignorance and censoring (regardless of any reasons given the outcome is the absence of knowlege, whether reason good or bad)…
is to remain weak, a victim, and lose agency
cause that is what ignorance brings, isnt it?
learning the tricksters tricks first hand, means you play endless ex post facto catch up
you are always behind the ball, never in front… cause they know and have practiced, and their opposition thinks being naive, and ingorant is ok, cause they are sooooo smart, they can figure it out as it happens all over…
funny people
like bellesiles that they gave another book contract, after he had conjured up the false firearms records, zinn seems to have dialed up the economic determinism of Beard to eleventy, in his last days, Eduardo Galeano who was roughly a counterpart to Zinn, admitted he had gotten some things wrong but his thesis was right,
Jill Lepore and a former Special Forces officer, are vying for the new status of lefty scribe,
in the 90s, there was some what of a corrective, with the perfect Latin American Idiot, Vargas LLosa, Plinio MEndoza and the like, then the economic crisis in Argentina and other elements drove out that old knowledge,

}}} You ever notice that all of a sudden consumer protection laws mean nothing?
Not so sure this is a CPL issue, it’s just horrible practice by one of the worst large banks around.
About 4-5 years ago, I had had an account at BoA for about 14 years. Something happened, and my access to my on-line banking was screwed up (not a huge deal, just an overprotection-nuisance issue). Their automated systems could not resolve it, so I contacted a human…. wait for two hours… nothing, then it hung up on me. Call back, wait for another two hours (in both cases, I was at my computer doing other things while “waiting”)… and again it just hung up.
OK, so, I go into the actual bank, to speak to an officer there.
THEY get on the phone, dial the same number I did, and pretty much the only thing they could do was to sit with me for that two hours waiting for it to hang up — they literally had no better access to the idiots running things than I did. seriously.
I just terminated the account and stopped doing business with the useless bastards.
A disabled Canadian man is now celebrating his “deathaversary” after escaping being euthanized by his government over his crushing debts. Amir Farsoud was due to be euthanized by the Canadian government’s “assisted suicide” program because he was struggling to pay off his financial debts. Farsoud said he was booked into to be killed under Canada’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID) law after being faced with the grim choice of death or homelessness. However, just before he was scheduled to be euthanized, people raised enough money to improve his financial situation and he narrowly avoided death.
The Biden campaign has turned down the Presidential Debates Commission and is evidently calling for direct negotiations between the campaigns and is proposing two televised presidential debates, one in June and one in September.
Ultimately, there’s no way that Biden’s handlers will ever allow a debate to happen. So my guess is there will be a lot of game playing and goal post moving from the Biden camp regarding any proposed debates with the goal of making it seem like Biden is willing to debate but Trump’s is somehow refusing. Whether anyone will believe the Biden campaign or not is another question.
Good.
Dagan commented: “What used to be, will not be anymore, zero patience for instigators and supporters of Nazi terror. Anyone who takes pictures with raised weapons, and posts incitement to murder Jews on social networks, is inhuman, is a Nazi and scum of the worst kind.”
He added: “I’m sorry that something like this had to come from a civil agency. I really hope we haven’t returned to the concept of October 6th, when an enemy takes a picture with a weapon and says he intends to murder Jews, and we ignore him. It’s time we believe him and not wait for him to carry out the attack, so that we will be left cry with the bereaved families.”
Update on the ‘Cut the Cable’ series. (ATTN: ObloodyHell, huxley, and mkent)
Was about to give up on digitizing my purchased movies & series collection – Red Fox AnyDVD & Handbrake were either too difficult and/or wouldn’t convert non-copy stuff (?? whatever it’s called). Software has to be simple for humble me.
Learned that I would need a blue-ray player for a computer – tried my TV ones, using a capture device, but didn’t have any luck. Purchased a External Blu-ray Drive for $39.90 + tax that should arrive Monday. Supposedly it is a “Burner” and has software…I dunno much about that stuff, so will wait ‘n see.
Also decided to do one more search for converting software, since I do have a portable USB DVD player for my computers. I used to have at least one internal DVD device in all my computers, but ‘Thangs started moving towards more USB 3.0 and Type-C ports so I no longer have internal DVDs in my computers–those spaces now hold mostly USB 3.0, charging, and Type-C ports, and SSD SATA Hot Swap bays.
Downloaded the free EaseFab LosslessCopy version, and tested my Zohan DVD (Whar’s Zohan when Israel needs him!!!) in the USB DVD player.
Notice popped up and said the free version only converts the first 3-minutes of a DVD. OK, fine, and boy is this software easy to use!!! Had it do a mp4 conversion to a 32GB USB—*BINGO*! Fast & Easy too! It’ll do blue-rays also, once the new USB player arrives.
Will see how the External Blu-ray Drive’s software works after it arrives. If it’s not easy and fast like the free EaseFab LosslessCopy was, I’ll buy the Lifetime License for $39.95 (if it’s still on sale). 🙂
Seattle is full of little conejos like that. Haven’t seen many coyotes trotting down the streets, but they’re here too.
Trump wants the debates before early voting starts. That’s his primary interest in this.
The Biden campaign specifically denigrated the idea of a live, in-room audience for the debates. I suspect they’re hoping that if they can’t weasel out of the debates, they’re hoping that they can use the “TV camera only” nature of the debates to hide just how bad Biden’s condition is. A live audience (with guests invited by both candidates) would make that impossible.
Don’t get cocky, kids. Remember, Biden kicked Ryan’s ass in the vice president debate, exposing him for the fool he is.
I gave up on B of A some years ago when I discovered they had been double paying my health insurance for over a year.
Actually, I thought Biden was.showing early signs of dementia. I agree that Ryan was hopeless. He should have asked Biden what was the matter with him.
the more we bail them out with our tax monies, the more arrogant they become,
I love the IowaHawk description of leftist modus operandi in that HotAir SI article:

Lots of pretending among the left, and yes they hate us.
Apropos of rabbits being fearless, that reminds me of a thing I experienced a couple of weeks ago. I was coming back from one of the Holy Week services, probably Holy Friday, about 10 pm, and driving into the little street that feeds the apartment complex, I saw a rabbit sitting in the middle of the road next to something dead in the roadway. I stopped a few car lengths away, shining my headlights right at it, but it was reluctant to move. It immediately seemed to me that it was worried about a poor other rabbit, probably its mate, that had clearly been killed by a passing car not very long before I came by.
I carefully drove around, parked and came back over to the body. Obviously nothing to be done for the poor thing, but I did get it out of the road to the lawn, and talked to the other rabbit that was hanging around not far away. Walking away a distance, I kept watching for the surviving rabbit as it came back and lingered around the deceased one somewhat forlornly, as I imagined. I think rabbits really do care about each other, at least sometimes.
Next morning, I drove by the same spot and saw that two of the local vultures had found the body. They remained intent upon their business even as I drove past just a few yards away from them.
Not the sort of thing I can readily discuss with most of my little circle, of course, but I was impressed by the event.
See, Republicans can get stuff through, when it matters to them. They could, of course, use their majority in the House to deny the passage of the bill entirely if the disparate impact language isn’t struck out, but looks like they won’t. I’d be delighted if they surprised me.
The investigations and hearings and impeachment talk are well calculated to distract us from stuff like this, I’m afraid it works all too well. But this is the real business of Congress, appropriations and changing rules to benefit cronies, and the issues we think of as the stuff of party politics, the things voters choose D or R for, are a distant second in terms of where their time and effort goes.
Niketas Choniates:
I read that article at Reason and I read the comments to the article. Quite a few of the comments say the author is incorrect in his interpretation of the act, and that it doesn’t do what is described and is far narrower. I don’t think Republicans agree with the author on what the bill does.
Quite a few of the comments say the author is incorrect in his interpretation of the act, and that it doesn’t do what is described and is far narrower.
Oh, well if 3 out of 26 anonymous commenters said so, I guess we’ve nothing to fear… but I linked to the the text of the bill so you or anyone else can make up your own mind about it.
I don’t think Republicans agree with the author on what the bill does.
Lol. Even if they don’t, once the bill is law it’s out of their hands what it does. Rulemaking agencies and Hawaiian judges will see to that. This sort of thing has happened plenty of times before, for example with a budget that Republicans helped pass in 2016 that incorporated the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act which has been used against us ever since. Sponsored by a Republican and passed with all but one Republican vote…
And that sponsoring Republican said,
“But today, the United States has taken a critical step towards confronting the extensive, and destabilizing, foreign propaganda and disinformation operations being waged against us by our enemies overseas. With this bill now law, we are finally signaling that enough is enough; the United States will no longer sit on the sidelines. We are going to confront this threat head-on.
I’m sure he never dreamed it would be used against Republicans, but here we are.
Some 44% of Democrat registered voters responding to the May 7-14 poll said they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the crisis.

Host Bret Baier then cut in to ask, “1968 was in Chicago, the Democratic Convention. Do you think it could look a little like that?”
Phillips answered, “I think it can, and frankly, I think it would be in the best interests of the Democratic Party to forego the convention this year and focus on campaigning.”

I carefully drove around, parked and came back over to the body. Obviously nothing to be done for the poor thing, but I did get it out of the road to the lawn, and talked to the other rabbit that was hanging around not far away. Walking away a distance, I kept watching for the surviving rabbit as it came back and lingered around the deceased one somewhat forlornly, as I imagined. I think rabbits really do care about each other, at least sometimes.
Next morning, I drove by the same spot and saw that two of the local vultures had found the body. They remained intent upon their business even as I drove past just a few yards away from them.
Not the sort of thing I can readily discuss with most of my little circle, of course, but I was impressed by the event.
Republicans and Democrats just worked together to impose disparate impact standards on just about every business, under what’s titled the American Privacy Rights Act.
See, Republicans can get stuff through, when it matters to them. They could, of course, use their majority in the House to deny the passage of the bill entirely if the disparate impact language isn’t struck out, but looks like they won’t. I’d be delighted if they surprised me.
The investigations and hearings and impeachment talk are well calculated to distract us from stuff like this, I’m afraid it works all too well. But this is the real business of Congress, appropriations and changing rules to benefit cronies, and the issues we think of as the stuff of party politics, the things voters choose D or R for, are a distant second in terms of where their time and effort goes.

I read that article at Reason and I read the comments to the article. Quite a few of the comments say the author is incorrect in his interpretation of the act, and that it doesn’t do what is described and is far narrower. I don’t think Republicans agree with the author on what the bill does.

Oh, well if 3 out of 26 anonymous commenters said so, I guess we’ve nothing to fear… but I linked to the the text of the bill so you or anyone else can make up your own mind about it.

Lol. Even if they don’t, once the bill is law it’s out of their hands what it does. Rulemaking agencies and Hawaiian judges will see to that. This sort of thing has happened plenty of times before, for example with a budget that Republicans helped pass in 2016 that incorporated the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act which has been used against us ever since. Sponsored by a Republican and passed with all but one Republican vote…
And that sponsoring Republican said,
I’m sure he never dreamed it would be used against Republicans, but here we are.
