Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

[Guest]

Wife and more sorting supplies for the elderly.
Just got a 1-year-old border collie. Free.
Food.
Overall, the numbers seen reflect what we rather anticipated in this crushing effect seen coming.
Some may say that's normalcy bias effects.
Ahhhhh no, get out more.
Maybe the latest Harry Dent rant dinged my normalcy bias getting older.

Dogs are good alarm systems.

He is a lab and border collie and a fine noise machine.
Under year old. Kind of like a few democrats we run into. His name is Java.
We are advancing log three efforts. From three day past three weeks to way over three months also.
We understand what Tactius seen in terms to current efforts.
It is malice and stupidity cloaked in avarice. The wife People are clear on the duplicity view
with active measures and the arrogated encroachments, they have as another final solution to reality
already seen as Hayek mentioned clearly in the Fatal Deceit.
We mentioned Selco and a few others who seen this script before when the lunatics are leveraged for agenda
based active measures. One thing is clear the swamp never has had any real interest in the public discourse.
It just annoys them they violate the oath of and in Office. Reinmann was correct in His book what they actually are.
Soul less entities. A few took the time to read what AA 1025 was and how the warning of the millstone is so important.

All they should get is mufon.org now as they deny the alligators will eat them last.

We know what happens when Progressives have full control and no opposing forces to draw battle lines. It was called Detroit.
As we outlined, we started locally since as it was stated accurately you have no place to go now.
Meanwhile: Feb 20, 2015 9:05 am
We can underpin it with Klingberg and his cycle of political deviants. Doctor Quigley seen it early just saying.
Impossible to move the ball down the field now. Tactical consolidation as we warned from day one to preserve capital to avoid
the carnage of the FSA consuming fixed capital.

I have not changed my view. Locally try to explain the carnage imposed on us. No way are they sharp enough to have a point we garner.

This was around the time Detroit went totally under and only the Lawyers made money
for the democrat criminals as thousands ignored and truly poisoned in Flint. We got facts
not media retards in some gigo media useful idiots reports. Over 55000 thousand bachelors degrees and above left this zone then.
Then the other marxist predators cleaned out the rest in education in finance.
Despicable Hypocrisy only matched by the current fools on the Hill we have right now confused about
sick idiots after your children. The insanity is gaining traction as we are not going to stop it and we fathom this.

It will most certainly fail as a result of excessive American corruption and regulation. It a feature so ask the Michigan serfs who
will and is leading this disaster also now in the Auto sector. The plan is simple as the 30 million stakeholder demshevik fools will finish off the
300 million slated for annihilation in the States.

Washington is the issue.

Just like Rome they will and are running out of victims as blood bags as warned.

Michigan was the first state to go into a dark age and aeden has had 40 years of local experience to aid his conclusions. The rest of the country has had a lot less time locally or even none and has to rely on the (filtered) news from outside the local area to figure it out, or some random forum. Over the past few months the news has gotten more difficult to filter from that standpoint - it looks like a horror show, actually.

A Dark Age (which the world is now irreversibly entering into)...

Michigan was already in a dark age when I was there in 1979. Wisconsin entered a dark age in the mid 1990s and most of the rest of the upper midwest probably did around that time. Oregon and Washington probably entered a dark age in 2020. California is in a dark age but it's harder to guess when it happened. I've lived in Texas since 2005. Texas still hasn't entered a dark age.

I think it's important to understand that the US is a big and variable country and what happens in one area may not happen much at all in another area. My guess is that people's disagreements stem in large part from having lived in areas of the US that are vastly different.

I've worked in mix-sex environments at many jobs, including at a well-known women's college full of radical feminists and attractive undergraduates, and have never had any problem such as described in this forum.

Me neither. I think it all boils down to how you carry yourself in an environment that allows this BS to go on. But, this kind of behavior is too easy to quash, especially in theses days of digital cameras. If the female wants to act like a streetwalker, help her drop her pretenses at being something different. Kick her to the street and let her walk.

Read this many years ago and wondered how these guys could have not seen this nearly everywhere they worked. It was basically about sexual and other games people play in workplaces. I attributed it to some guys just aren't plugged into what is happening around them. But having worked in Texas for several years in a "mix-sex environment" since reading these comments in 2011, I saw a lot less of the gossip, intrigue and sexual games that were going on in the states I worked in that had already entered a dark age. That may be more or less random but it was certainly noticeable in my experience. The way I put it was Texas is a half glass full state. The environment all around both internally in the workplace and contacts with external customers was on balance positive. Having lived and worked in dark age environments for the 24 years previous, it took a year or two to believe it was real, put down my defenses, and to get used to it.

I'll give you an example or two.

So I was talking to a woman who works in a state agency in Austin. I told her about how the State of Wisconsin developed an internal "Violence in the Workplace Policy" and asked her if the State of Texas had done anything like that. She said no. So I proceeded to tell her about how Wisconsin did this with instructions about what you could and couldn't SAY that might constitute the equivalent of violence. For example, a supervisor couldn't SAY jokingly to an employee, "Gosh, we really need you here and if you take a lateral into that other Department I'll have to kill you." According to the goons in State Personnel in Wisconsin that constitutes violence and can be grounds for disciplinary action or termination. To which the woman responded, "What the hell is wrong with those people?!"

John, you are absolutely correct.

I was telling this same woman in Austin about what was known internally in the state agencies among the men in Wisconsin as the "Sisterhood". It was the radical feminists who had taken over the agencies. She said that while those type of women do exist in state agencies in Texas, they have not destroyed the internal functioning of the agencies.

Do those Wisconsin state employees even realize what idiots they are?
Or are they so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are?

They have no idea.

Another example of what a screwed up state Wisconsin is.

A friend of mine works for a state agency up in Wisconsin. One day he sent me some kind of an arbitration brief or a legal brief indicating he had won a case that had been ongoing for 5 years. I had no idea he was under duress.

So I read the brief.

What it was about was he had been walking through the office en route to discharging his job responsibilities when "Ms X" decided she didn't like the way he was looking at her and lodged a complaint with the Personnel Bureau in Madison, Wisconsin. Rather than investigate, the lawyer immediately took the side of "Ms X" and instructed my friend not to walk in certain areas of the office where "Ms X" was "feeling uncomfortable". My friend appealed and it took him 5 years to win the case.

I knew both him and "Ms X". "Ms X" was certifiably loony and had recently been divorced. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY her complaint was valid. My friend is much younger than "Ms X" and has a way better looking wife. "Ms X" was so goofy she had said she hated the guy she married before she married him.

I told somebody down here in Austin this story and they were like "Oh my God".

I look at it as using agreed-upon and reasonably sounding values/goals as tools to go after people you don't like.

Examples:

Value/Goal: Shootings in the workplace are very undesirable and we must have a violence policy to proactively prevent shootings.
Tool: Use the violence policy to trap employees.
Method: Expand the definition of what may constitute future violent behavior. Target specific individuals but not others.

Which reminded me, decades ago, when I first got out of college, I worked in a consumer products plant in Wisconsin. The company had 40 plants all over the country.

The company had 2 measures of quality.

The first was an independent lab that was hired to do objective measures of quality on randomly purchased bags of product.
The second was customer complaints per million bags of product.

Curiously,
The independent lab rated the product produced in the Wisconsin plant the best out of all 40 plants consistently.
Yet, the customer complaints were the highest out of all the plants.

What I learned from that was that you can't satisfy people in Wisconsin.

The folks from south of the Wisconsin border in the Chicago metro area call the border the "Cheddar Curtain".

So I asked my sister about this. She said she can send 200 parts out to Wisconsin for a dime each and if one of the 200 is bent she'll hear about it. She said in no other part of the world would anyone mention it. Only in Wisconsin.

Some of the folks from Chicago knew what it was decades ago (i.e. Iron Curtain and they were on the right side of it). They were rather smug about it. The Chicago folks have a unique brand of smugness. But Illinois has also fallen since. In those days, it was only Rockford that had entered a dark age by my reckoning.

Putin kills people but they don't do that so much here. A colleague of mine got turned into a vegetable. I talked about that here in these pages. Once they turned him into a vegetable, the personnel lawyers unilaterally gave him a disability check and health insurance for the rest of his life. There was no court case - they don't want the record of it. These people make Stalin look like an amateur. Aedens was right when he said they make the Soviets look like pussies.

You screw with anybody's head long enough and you can permanently turn them into a babbling idiot and they know how to do it. This guy is totally incapacitated for life and they can say, "There's no dead body - what's the big deal?"

My life was threatened - in so many words. But that's mostly just part of the process they use to turn someone into a vegetable.

My former colleague talks about the black helicopters and so on. He's totally gone. His head is spinning so fast that nothing that comes out of his mouth makes any sense.

Part of the agreement was he couldn't work in order to draw his payments. Then they ginned up a restraining order against him to keep him away from the building.

An independent labor lawyer talked to me about a case he had going against the State of Wisconsin. The case materials completely covered a table about 20 feet long by about 3 feet in his office. He said some of his evidence was a memo or something where state officials talked about how they don't fire anybody anymore but instead "grind them down". I don't recall much of what he said but that was the gist of it. The reason for that is whenever they had fired someone, they were so inept that the person would get their job back plus a payment. One director was 0 for 3 on lawsuits. He wanted me to stay in my job so that we could get a big settlement out of them. He thought we had enough. I decided to pull the plug instead. There was a local news story that covered it, but I'm pretty sure that story would not run today.

The genesis of the whole problem that I witnessed in a nutshell was the State of Wisconsin started installing unqualified feminists in high places starting in the mid 1980s. They then did a lot of affirmative action hires throughout the organization, then demanded that white men like me tow the line. The whole thing blew up, but it took about 20 years.

Now I've noticed the State of Texas has started down the same path. I'll get the references out of Glassdoor. The review has been scrubbed. I'm able to pick up a fragment on google and expand it to get it down to one search item and what's left of it on the internet (on the glassdoor UK site, apparently it is completely gone from the glassdoor US site).
https://www.google.com/search?q=glassdo ... s-wiz-serp
Anyway, the man was talking about feminists with no credentials being sent up the ladder soon after they walked in the door.

Let's circle back to a previous post and combine these ideas.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I sat in on a webinar put on by some consulting engineers in Texas who were discussing strategies for using wastewater effluent (DPR) for drinking water in the event the drought and population increase in Texas continued. These engineers are very dedicated to their field and expert in what they do. It was hard for me as a non-expert in the field to follow all the technical discussion. At the end of the webinar, the thought leaders in the field gave their conclusion which was that, while they are aware chemicals are a problem, limited resources would have to be directed toward pathogens.

It may be understood by those running the state that these are the realities they are faced with. Politically, the most expedient thing to do is get some incompetents into the key areas of the agencies where these approvals will be required. They need to be competent enough to give the appearance of competence, but incompetent or corrupt enough not to recognize or care about the dangers of chemicals because it has been decided nothing is going to be done about them. Really good engineers might challenge the previously agreed upon analysis or publicize the problem and that is not wanted. This is theoretical and I have no evidence this is the case. It could be about Elon bitching about not getting his permits fast enough. Or something else.

Now I'll discuss some of the affirmative action (I think "diversity" was actually the word being promoted) hires because it's not what people would think. I've gone to school or worked with a number of Asian engineers and they range in quality from mediocre to horrible. Granted, I have not worked in high tech and someone's experience at someplace like Google night be totally different. Some years ago there was a theme that went around that you can get a Chinese engineer for half of what you can get an American engineer for, or something to that effect. A new Chinese engineer, a young female with a Master's Degree from a US university, was hired and put a couple cubicles away from me. She came over with some information showing that a boiler was rated at so many pounds per hour. For an example of horrible, here is an approximation of the conversation that took place:
Her: What do that mean?
Me: It's the rating of the boiler in pounds of steam per hour.
Her: How do I get BTU per hour?
Me: Find the temperature and pressure the boiler operates at and get the heat of vaporization from a steam table.
Her: What steam table?
Me: Go to your chemical engineers handbook and get it.
Her: What handbook?
You cannot call that person an engineer by any stretch of the imagination.

I will only point out it took that House 141 years to get that encyclical fall or seven cycles
as we discuss this facet in a GD context. He utilizes the long wave and posits some one
looking like this below will be strung up? At least we watch ours move left right to center
in there dialectic panderings and with a straight face they shrug their shoulders
what are they talking about.

This was the period you named as Bardi, the Peruzzi, the Mozzi, the Frescobaldi,
the Scali dates as I considered the effects from 1202 forward until that repudiation period covered.

The market looks poised for a look around pullback. Equity and some oil was sold into the modest push today.
Edgy feeling on my part.
Or as we say someone was over their skis today. Someone behind a green curtain telling Dorth He was a good guy but bad wizard
market move late day. No clue just unloaded before the 1 hour and 4 hour macd pullback.

Dark Age Chronicles

I could probably write one of these every day but today's is kind of interesting. I've been talking lately here and there about retail theft.

So today I was leaving with my kid and one of my neighbors said he has some goods for sale if I'm interested. I said sure, tell me about what you've got. He started telling me about what he has now - beauty supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. I asked him if he might have things like Tide laundry detergent. He said not right now but, yeah, he would have some of that and the price on everything is half what you pay in the store - do I want powder or liquid? I said if it's half just bring me what you can get. He opened the trunk and back seat of his car to show me what he has now.

Then I went to get the mail. Our car insurance for 6 months went from about $700 to about $1000. That's for 2 vehicles. I called my agent and they said it's just experience with one of the vehicles. More accidents, MORE THEFT, etc., nothing to do with us specifically.

I used to call these kinds of posts the Gen X Debacle of the Day, but now Dark Age Chronicles seems more fitting.

I don't think he can come up with any Tide, but if he can, wow, things are a lot worse than I suspect. I just think he wants to keep me in the loop. We'll find out.

This explains a lot. My ex-editor went craz on me one morning and after ranting that I had 'white male privilege' stormed off. I mentioned to her that morning that Trump was going to extend unemployment benefits. Just a casual comment while working from home in 2020. We had been friends since 2011. I got a new editor. She was born, raised, and lives in Wisconsin, a Madison grad.

Glad she is gone. I don't miss her. I was tired her wokeness anyway.

Quite bizarre, really.

They should ship all of the illegals to Wisconsin.

Dark Age Chronicles

This is more or less to show that, yes, this can probably be done almost every day.

Got a call from a guy in a panic to get his tax forms filled out. He told me he has a cataract and can't see the forms to fill them out. That wouldn't be worth mentioning except for one thing. He is 52 years old and has a cataract already.

The next one has to do with vaccines. My daughter had a reaction to a flu vaccine and I took her to a healer who got her well. It's been 2 months since we've seen him and he checked her over and said she is now doing very well, fortunately. But he warned me. He said don't under any circumstances give her a Guardasil vaccine or, really, any other vaccine but particularly that one. He said he can't count the number of young people he's seen who have gotten one of these and he can't help them; they are too far gone. He said most of them don't even know why they are suffering.
