Have you tried editing the hosts file to keep Windows 10 from phoning home by redirecting the URLs to the local machine? It is in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. My hosts file looks like this and I don't seem to have the problems you do.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

The economy is going to hell in a handbasket; we have more unemployed than during the Great Depression, the currency is crap and getting crappier, but Technology and Innovation will save us! Good old American self-delusion and faith in Moar Science (from a population that is generally incapable of reading an actual scientific paper, much less writing or intelligently reviewing one). America's determination to invest in ever-more useless technology has much in common with the population of Easter Island, logging out their last trees to build yet another massive ceremonial statue. What part of "you picked the low-hanging fruit and you'll only break your legs trying to get more" don't they understand?

This has been a frequent line throughout history: "Everything useful has already been invented!" The head of the patent office reported to the Congress supposedly in 1836 recommending his office be abolished because "everything useful has already been invented". The magnetic telegraph came eight years later. Yes, Edison's electric incandescent bulb (1879) came six years BEFORE Wellsbach's gas mantle (1885) gave a new lease on life to gas illumination. Wellsbach read of Edison's work with his light and reasoned why create a whole new power system when one could heat a material to incandescence using the existing gas system. Wellsbach I think eventually got a Nobel for Chemistry--which Edison never did.
Even I have had to give in to modern technology. I long refused to get a cellphone because too many obnoxious people were always loudly talking inane and often foul-mouthed drivel on theirs--I didn't want to be regarded as another "cellphone a**h*le" talking in public. Now to work I have to--my latest Tracfone is also my clock/watch. Lotus spreadsheets on the other hand have made manual plotting of weekly money needs a breeze; credit cards have made travel and buying things easy--I'm one of those mean b------s who pays in full each money.

I just uploaded a new post to my website, comingstorms.com, titled "The Great Illusion".

You can view it at the website:

The "preparations" I allude to are what I am going to publish in the book that I have proposed on this board.

Thanks for finding stuff like this John. Big News is useless.

With violence, looting, and general lawlessness becoming the new normal in America, do you still doubt a civil war is possible?

There is fascist violence by organized antifa-blm groups going on in
some urban areas, and it will undoubtedly grow worse, but it's not
organic, and this is by no means a civil war, or headed that way.
General lawlessness is not becoming the new normal today, any more
than it did in the 60s.

Do you think Trump can win in November?

** 26-Aug-2020 World View: November

Guest wrote: Wed Aug 26, 2020 11:58 am > Do you think Trump can win in November?

That question is outside my skill set. The Democrats are pointing to
polls that put Biden ahead. The Republicans are pointing to polls
that say that a lot of Trump supporters are afraid to say, even to
pollsters, that they favor Trump. So yes, Trump can win, and Biden
can win.

It is my skill set. There are numerous reasons why Trump will win, and more violence occurring by the day makes it even likelier. The best generalized reason why Trump wins is Norpoth's Primary Model. As in 2016, there just isn't great affinity or support for Joe Biden. Like then as well, the media lied about everything they did to support the leftist candidate: polls, stories, criminal activity, etc.

Hundreds of thousands still attend Trump rallies, just as in 2016. Barely hundreds go to Bidens, or went to them, before he was in a bunker.

Perhaps the most important technical reason why Trump wins is the idea of voter intention vs expectation. Who a given person votes states he will vote for (intention) doesn't matter since the polling is biased and the power is not good (sample size low). Who a person thinks will win (expectation) includes a vast circle of all of his friends. Good polling always asks this question and it destroys the intention in terms of power, and accuracy.

Most when asked who think they will win, regardless of who they are voting for, say Trump.

He will win.

(Yes, I predicted his 2016 win too).
