Woke Billionaire Tourism Company Loses Sub At Titanic Wreck
The swiss cheese model of accident causation is real. Almost every time there’s a major accident, it comes to light soon afterward that there was a chain of morally and criminally negligent decisions, any one of which could have saved lives if handled differently. The missing OceanGate sub is no exception. The Titanic and the submersible Titan both sank for the same reason; because a corporation valued publicity gimmicks over proper risk management.
The Right Wing Super Bowl Commercial That Aged Very Badly
Five years ago, the popular clothing brand Grunt Style produced an iconic 30 second commercial depicting a heroic police officer facing off against an enraged mob of Antifa protesters.

Beware of the Savior
Whenever I see how likes/dislikes/reactions mushroom under a fresh post from a popular blogger on a popular platform, I think of a Petri dish with some primitive life form floating in it (bacteria, fungi, amoeba, etc.) and a person adding, say, sugar.

The Gulf War Myth of Invulnerability is Finally Laid to Rest
On 16 January, 1991, President George Bush announced the beginning of the New World Order which, in his words, would replace the “law of the jungle.” The NWO would bring about the end of nations, all of them subjugated and erased under a new system of global homogeneity (globohomo). But for such a “rules based world order” to reign supreme, it was necessary to have a military force that was equally supreme. Not just stronger than every other military force, but stronger than every other military force combined. Such a military force has never existed in all of human history – not even Alexander’s phalanxes, the Roman legions, or the Mongol Horde, could defeat everybody. Every conquering army, including all of the examples I just listed, eventually reached their limits and could expand no further. No military, no matter how large and powerful, is invincible, and certainly isn’t invincible everywhere. So the NWO did something different. They didn’t create an invincible military, they simply created the illusion that it was invincible. The NWO needed a victory that was so crushing and so one-sided, it would convince the entire world that any resistance against the NWO would end the same way.
