The Honey Coupon Scam

 

https://youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk?si=SKcdaj_3s6QmADBg

Some people’s bullshit detectors are better than others.  Based on spending a lot of time around obvious bullshit I see a lot of people with nearly nonexistent radar detectors.  Even more annoying, the crowd that understands some of the most obvious grift but doesn’t ever get to the advanced level of getting inside other people’s heads - some people can and do fall for even the most asinine scams.  If nobody fell for it, the scam wouldn’t exist.

Trying to explain this to someone, trying to encourage them to warn and prepare others is met with:

You refusing to believe that Flat Earth, chemtrails or gematria content is possibly ripping people off doesn’t stop it.  “Nobody is stupid enough to fall for that!” shows personal ignorance and is not a powerful condemnation of the people that have been the target of grift.

In a nutshell, the Honey scam worked like this -

Bigger YouTube channels also make money by promoting advertisements outside the YouTube ads.  A product or service often related to the channel (e.g. replica miniature weapons for a battlefield history channel) will take a time out to promote the ad.  Having a large following of biased (not necessarily in a bad way) provides a ready made audience for the adjacent product.

It doesn’t have to be specific to the channel, and Honey coupons were that type.  (VPN ads are another common generic ad association).  Honey would spend money going directly to influencers to talk about the coupons.  On the surface the deal operated like this:

You load Honey on to your device, and when you go shopping Honey automatically kicks in and finds the best coupon available resulting in maximizing the discount you get at checkout.  No more fuss searching for yourself, after loading Honey it’s in the background.

This is a variation of the too good to be true money making ideas.  Honey itself can’t scale up their own purchases to take advantage of their own product to make it worthwhile.  It needs a mass audience.  And that’s the red flag that finally brought it down.  The math didn’t make sense - spending millions of dollars to advertise to get back a portion of revenue invested.  Some people started digging and then the reveal of the scammy nature went viral.  The app was faking the amount of some discounts.  And sometimes inserting itself as the user that clicked last and stealing the whole discount.  But, watch the video for the full detail.

A gematria sports betting channel is more of a self contained operation.  No channel has been big enough to get the attention of the marketing deals the bigger influencers are involved in.  But there is constant trolling from other low level grift.  For years now the ads YouTube puts with the videos that qualify for monetization are sometimes pretty obviously BS.  Those advertisers don’t have the millions to invest in marketing like Honey had.  Just because you don’t believe people are dumb enough to fall for it doesn’t mean others aren’t.  Honey was able to get away with it for quite awhile including pulling the wool over the eyes of some smarter than average content creators.

Greatest Unintentional Weapons - The Statue of Liberty

When you do finally grow up a little bit and honestly look at what’s going on with your political leaders it’s shocking to see how much money is more important than abstract things like rights and freedom.  Sure, money itself is abstract - but like getting a t-shirt for joining that charity drive there’s something physical to latch on to.

The Statue of Liberty.  A beacon of hope for immigrants.  Run away from the troubles in your old place of birth and trade them in for the American Dream of corporate sabotage, oligarchs in control of housing and health care, non stop harassment rooted in bigotry.  But if you play your cards right you can actually VOTE for those that want to take advantage of you instead of just armed goon squads assaulting the houses of political power.  The U.S. has a zero percent success rate with that, not like it hasn’t been tried.

In theory, the Statue of Liberty was a nice gesture.  That is beyond the symbolism of the ending of Planet of the Apes.  A movie so overwhelming with social allegory that it’s one of those tests you can present to see where someone stands on the political and intellectual spectrum.  If you really like talking apes shooting guns and think the Statue represents just a large recognizable object from history - you probably loved the future installment where the mutants wage war and lots of shit gets blown up.  If you actually understand that the apes are hugely racist enslavers as a stand in for how humans treat others for the differences that shouldn’t really matter, and the Statue ending is no accident as a symbol for immigration and “otherness”, congratulations.  You might actually get more from films - a constant source of ongoing education if you watch the right ones.

I do both.  Background noise where an alien monster slaughters inhabitants of a small town and that’s the sole purpose of the movie.  Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country at the other side where they try to beat you over the head with its message of not just spaceships flying around.

I still like to think that France gifting the U.S. was a sincere gift instead of what it represents now.  Now, it’s an embarrassment.  A relic that didn’t age well.

https://jasoncochran.com/2010/11/18/the-statue-of-liberty-is-an-embarrassment/

The same way that CPAs having course work and seminars on ethical standards, the standards have now turned into some kind of running joke where politicians and even Supreme Court justices are openly taking bribes because, well, everyone else is doing it.  The idea was good, it just hasn’t aged well.  And that’s because of the age old concept that deep down so many people are complete and utter assholes.

The magic words are etched into the Statue.  Words that indicate that you are now an American, part of the bestest tribe the planet has ever seen.  Becoming an immigrant is cool and the best idea you ever had.  Until you get to modern America where it’s just, “I tolerate you as long as I can exploit you for slave labor.  Face it bucks, your skin is the wrong color, your god is the wrong god, or some other arbitrary wrongness can be assigned to you.”  I was here first, I’m better than you.  Fox News and the gematria told me so.

In the meantime, since it’s all or nothing here in the U.S., at any given moment someone can be arbitrarily decided to be cool regardless of citizenship.  Immigration is one of those touchy no easy solution discourses.  Any government doesn’t want welfare leeches, homegrown or not.  Any government embraces luring great people to the land.  But short of an Infinity Gauntlet separating people by actual content of character instead of arbitrariness is impossible.  We here in the U.S. have in part solved the immigration problem.  Who in their right mind would actually want to move into this hellhole?

Well that also can be explained by one of the U.S. big problems - our lack of emphasis on education for decades.  Other countries that have wannabe emigrants don’t realize who much of a bad joke the Statue represents and how pointless the journey is now.  Let’s run through some of the greatest hits in recent history:

Our gun culture is the most absurd in the world.

Women’s rights have regressed on health care.

Our healthcare is so expensive and denied on a whim it’s fairly useless unless you’re wealthy.

Our housing is way too expensive to own.

And despite an entire civil war the systemic racism is what SHOULD be etched into the Statue.

Back when there was room to expand the Statue was fine and accepting a bunch of Irish potato farmers to walk a beat as a street cop was cool.  Yes, a purposeful stereotype to reinforce the point.  Now, instead of accepting that the Statue of Liberty should read ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK it’s a candidate for being memory holed.  One of the great unintentional weapons where for a period of time Europe got to say - piss off and go to the U.S.  We’ve got our own problems here.

Gematria And Gambling

Until I get back to reposting old material I took offline while on a bit of a vacation, here’s an example of what your precious little kiddies are getting into when they get involved with gematria.  The gambling links to even the most innocent of gematria content are strong and well established.  Even the material that directly attacks it ends up boosting the signal.  Algorithm driven rabbit holes looking at keywords don’t care about the presentation a whole lot.  So now is a good time to make a New Year resolution for 2025.  Since social media companies and governments don’t care enough to stop the scammy nature of a lot of internet content it’s up to the end user to resolve to educate themselves enough to understand at least a minimum of what’s going on and protect themselves.  Protect themselves from things that sound too good to be true because they are.

https://gematrinator.com/blog/2024/12/27/two-mikes-who-own-neighboring-bars-die-within-weeks

That’s a synchronicity story.  Two bar owners named make that are neighbors dying in November 2024.  As far as gematria stories go it’s not too bad.  It’s still complete bullshit, but it’s definitely got some points for originality - nobody else made a blog post or video about it that I’ve seen.

Have you ever had a “friend” with a shared experience that relates the story and embellishes their involvement to make themselves sound more cool?  Maybe you don’t find out about it until someone else retells the story.  No Bill, I was the one that killed the snake that was about to bite Sally, not Sam.  Really?  He said it quite clearly was him?  That’s the way that Gematrinator stories often play out.  Things are fine, but you get a sense of needless enhancement.  The story about the bar owner’s deaths is fine, does it really need a poker reference?

Well the answer is yes it does, because underage gambling is a pretty big problem with internet scams.  And whether he intentionally put the poker reference in or not the damage is done by its existence.  And as usual with gematria and associated scammy material it’s just wrong.

Notice the two cards that are most certainly NOT a nod to the statistically worst hand in poker?  If you wanted to make that nod it would have been pretty fucking easy to actually make the cards that quite clearly have the same symbols on them be different symbols and actually off suit, instead of the same suit.  All for the sake of a convenient and thoroughly unnecessary 2007 days reference.  A reference that ignores the “misses” in the decode of not dying on the exact same day and settling for the same month as being close enough and that they were born on the 22nd of different months instead of the same month.  And lots of other stuff that would make more sense.

There is an obligatory reference to Skull and Bones.  You really need to work in occult and NWO topics.  But with the Zachosphere shift away from the political propaganda boom of roughly 2016-2022 it’s all about the gambling again.  It’s impossible to not know the Gematrinator name without knowing that Zach and a few copycat bank savings killers have daily sports betting content.  And since social media doesn’t care about social so much your curious children will find some gambling content amidst their occult driven bar owner deaths.  Children without the proper yet fairly simple lessons of not getting involved with adult topics before they are better mentally equipped to handle it.

https://youtu.be/13eiDhuvM6Y?si=EuovBLCciFZCP-UF

That Coffeezilla video details a particular example of kids getting involved in what happens an essentially a casino disguised as internet gaming fun.  Gambling addiction is notorious for embellishments.  Getting sucked in and keeping focused on the wins sprinkled amidst a sea of losses.  And knowing this, other conspiracy content flows through gematria on the internet.  If you believe, before you’ve grown up and understand the hazards after gaining some life experiences, that long term gambling versus a casino with the set up heavily rigged in their favor is a winning proposition, well there’s lots of other scams out there.  Just go through the Coffezilla videos and see what his millions of followers get to see.

Generation X Ruined the World

There's a lot of talk, both friendly banter and genuine animosity, about which “generation” is the best, was the worst, and who knows what and who is wrong about broad swaths of ideology.  And yet, from my personal experience of decades, Generation X does not get the recognition it deserves.  

In the good ole days you would argue about what generation ruined your country.  But now there’s no corner of the globe that is safe.  There’s no escaping the battlefields of war torn Europe for a fresh start in colonial America.  There’s no escaping an authoritarian government in for an untouched and pure place far away where your intellect is more important than your big mouth.  There’s no refuge from your country of birth’s civil war that doesn’t already have their own hands full with their population born within their own borders.

The renaming of Twitter to X always made me wonder if it was purposeful as a nod to Gen X  - a sly little wink and a nudge to give them a little ego boost.  A much needed one as when viewed as a whole it’s the generation that really ramped up the I KNOW EVERYTHING mentality to an unhealthy degree.  It’s the generation with the most Karens.  The generation of entitled self absorbed brats that conflates grifting with free market capitalism.  It conflates free speech with bold faced lying about the most basic facts (the worst being science versus religion).  The generation that thinks capitalism and democracy are synonyms instead of just tied together.   It’s the generation that for reasons no sane person can ever fully understand that instead of recognizing that control of vast amounts of wealth in the hands of very few people has never worked out well for the masses decided to embrace being poor, uneducated and miserable was somehow a great idea - so let’s pick the biggest assholes we can find among the ultra wealthy and worship them.

But as I often do, I’m getting ahead of myself.  So let’s backtrack to unfair generational comparisons.  A sort of beginning point to explain how we got here.

borders.

Official global political assessments of the United States correctly describe it as a FLAWED DEMOCRACY.  I would wager a significant amount of money that a lot of Gen X doesn’t realize that before the British Empire a dominant economic superpower was the Dutch.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_the_Netherlands_(1500%E2%80%931815)

And already we have a first side trip.  Even within the past few days Elon Musk has railed against Wikipedia.  Of course.  Actual factual information is anathema to him.  When your entire brand is built upon lies and fraud you really don’t want the word getting out that a tiny little country like the Netherlands could hold as much influence as long as it did.  Technologically superior, innovative, young and hungry.  But just like other empires before and after eventually the economics failed to the overwhelming pressure of governments being more concerned about personal wealth than the will of the lower class citizens within their sphere of influence.

The U.S. has been in such a state of decline for quite some time now.  Another historical note that is destined to be a target for memory holing is the last time the U.S. actively worked on improving the middle class.  The sort of generational equivalent of an average person.  And it’s shrinking.  A lot.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class

Within that article is the defining characteristics of the class including my favorite - conspicuous consumption.  I could buy an economical car that gets 40 miles a gallon.  But fuck that, let me buy my pick up with a high interest rate loan (with satellite radio and gold plated cup holders) and I’ll catch up later.

There was a time when education was regarded highly.  Get through high school.  Go to college or a trade school.  Learn a useful skill.  Find someone you fancy and buy a house.  Maybe have some kids.  Retire with dignity.  But only after hoarding enough wealth that you insist must generate as much passive income as you are spending, which over the long term is destined to fail.  There simply aren’t enough “poor” jobs to maintain the pyramid scheme.  So the solution?  Make sure the history of bad ideas is covered up.  Do everything to stop education possible and join the high income fraud crowd.

Politics and financial sector jobs.  Perfect for propaganda to make average people feel smarter than they really are.   It’s amazing how easy it is to manipulate someone when you sign their paycheck.

And make no mistake, the tech boom embraced by Gen X is the turning point.  Hatred of boomers in general for the audacity to have influence because of strength of numbers.  Genuinely more tech savvy, but with the lack of more formal educational experience and being around people different than themselves completely lacking in social skills.  Calling Facebook or Twitter social is some sort of cruel joke.  Finding an echo chamber of wrong answers to important questions is hardly proper socialization.  You can genuinely find a decent sized swath of Gen X that thinks freedom of speech means gematria decodes is educational while thinking that massive insurance CEO bonuses are necessary to maintain the overall economy.

And oh boy howdy are they conservative.  Of course they are.  If you were lucky enough to be born wealthy and didn’t have to actual be productive to get by, you’d be wanting to conserve that, too.  Congratulations.  You’re biased now.  As soon as you hear any buzzword that indicates progressive ideas your brain shuts down and the mouth starts running with more lies to cover up the previous lies.  This might not actually be that bad except the pushback is inevitable.  And instead of compromise, Gen X came up with their greatest socialization flaw ever.  Insisting on regression instead of just conservatism.

As Gen X grew up and had children of their own they continued the emphasis of not educating and not socializing.  Burning up resources that aren’t replaceable.  Insisting there’s no downside.  Watching contradictory information on Fox News and not being concerned since the liberal buzzwords were used and that makes their bias receptors turn off any remaining critical thinking skills.  You may claim you aren’t racist, and you may even be right about that.  But you sure don’t mind being politically discriminatory.  And now their sad excuse for educating and socializing has been passed on to subsequent generations.  Sure, maybe they’ve finally woken up to the Boomer era politicians not being that great anymore, but what they make up for in the lack of quantity they’ve ruined by the quality.  Blind adoration of a Trump or Musk oligarchy cannot end well.

As I’ve often said, the unavoidable wake up call of massive inflation while mitigating climate change costs is pretty much unstoppable at this point.  And with no corner of the globe safe from the economic impacts.  It’s no longer a vague “maybe it won’t be so bad thing.”  It’s a fact that’s here now.  A likely result geopolitically seems to be a future rise of China being the dominant economic superpower.  And like the Dutch were replaced by Britain and the British were replaced by the U.S. the U.S. will still be a big player, but forced to admit that they aren’t so bad.

———————————————————————

But let’s end this on a hopeful message.  Before I start a series of not gematria related posts about great not acknowledged weapons created.  If the U.S. really wants to be great again, if it wants to stay on top.  Then start embracing education again instead of pretending to care about the children.  And you’d better do it quick.  Late stage capitalism disease is here now.  Being the first to overcome that.  Instead of political leaders not doing anything about the grifter economy because they’re part of it, actually hold these bozos accountable.  You already failed with the lack of proper reaction to Jan. 6th 2021.

Contradictory Dystopia

The left wing in the U.S. is still reeling from the shock of the election results.  How could so many people not care about democracy?  Well it all starts with how education WAS (not is) systematically disabled and we’re a globe of idiots trying to survive among other idiots.  Think of it like a Dickens story where paupers are forced at gunpoint to get a Christmas goose so that the wealthy businessman can feed it to his dogs in front of an orphanage.

The beauty of Earth and the laws of physics versus greed is the Earth doesn’t give a shit about misinformation.  The whole self correcting system is getting pumped up more and more to strike back.  A global fascist dictatorship(s) may be the best option for the upcoming population and life expectancy decreases.  We don’t know, man made climate change has never happened before.  And the hypocrisy of claiming to want limited regulation instead of total deregulation is not just some vague and avoidable possibility.  It’s here now.  One of the big losers in the fight for an existence with some form of dignified retirement is education.  We might not have a chance to have a future society unearth what went wrong.  But for that brief shining moment from last post’s cartoon, we really did a good job of glorifying the biggest assholes on the planet and we’re still pretending that some sort of actual greatness is “just around the corner”.

The left and the group of conspiracy theorist operating off that is brewing up stories even know.  Gung ho Trump is the bestest thing that ever happened supporters are already shifting the grifting.  Now it’s a two headed monster - a two faced beast that has gone too far.  And as with the above picture, Hubbard has always been about saying whatever he deems to be the most engaging, regardless of the contradiction with memory holed previous material.  A key part of the developing BlueAnon grift seems to be FAFO.  Fuck Around and Find Out.  The last generations that actually understood what democracy was are dying off and more tragically dementia issues and being an expensive burden on resources that are more important for buying your 17th gun, a new phone so you can make YouTube videos about how great Trump is while complaining about your job, and doing  gematria.  History has taught us that belligerence in a nation is responded to not with compassion and seeking to teach others what they’re doing is self destructive.  It’s met with belligerence in return.  And know the world is headed towards a phase of fucking around with the ultimate belligerent adversary.  A planet stripped of low hanging fruit and its main weapon - an unpredictable climate in response to the increasingly arbitrary choice of who you should hate most this day.  A contradictory dystopia of the new promised greatness with the harsh reality of not being able to trust anybody.  Everyone doing their own thing in a dog eat immigrant world.  And the rest of the planet already has been using elderly Americans as a primary source of you’re stupid enough to believe Nigerian prince content.  Try explaining that to people who don’t even understand that democracy isn’t voting in a dictator.

The dumbing down of the world is mostly complete.  Concentrating wealth in the hands of a few people who have no actual interest in the people has never worked well.  Deliberately gearing up to force your government back to that, oh yeah.  It’s a different world.

Pseudo-Economics Cartoon

 

More Gematria & Economics

Both the grifter community and actual day to day living economics.

The gematria community is easy.  Whatever is currently trending - go with the flow.  And almost universally they are back to nothing but sports unless you’re one of the types that would have been called Qanon in previous years.  Those are taking their victory laps and putting out a lot of hooray for us! content.

Now since this is a two for one special today let’s talk about what gematria, flat earth, and other online scammy content doesn’t address.  If you seriously think a two digit number has any control over global economics, that’s sad.

Purposeful lack of education has done a remarkable job of getting us to where we are at.  The cult mentality of being fed positive reinforcement for dumb ideas has produced a worker pool that isn’t the most brilliant of minds.  There’s a big whirlpool of conflicting information that is impossible to make sense of.  And the indoctrination might not be what you think.  At least part of it.  Usually indoctrination is used referring to a religious context, and gets thrown around a lot with phrases like “cult indoctrination.”

There’s also economic (or class) indoctrination.  And that’s where the confusion of misinformation works best.  Gematria is never, and has never been in the 21st century, used to prove something like “Christianity is better than Islam”.  What it has been used for is an appeal to people who aren’t as smart as they think they are to post bad ideas about economics on Twixter and Facebook.  Gaining confidence in their bad ideas being reinforced online and “taking it home to the dinner table.”

Economic indoctrination.  The goal of economic indoctrination is to conflate economic policy with democracy.  Keep people misinformed about the core issues to make them fail to realize they end up voting directly against what they think they are protecting.  (Jan 6th 2021 and gun rights, free speech and shitty scam ads on social media, pretty much anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth).  Because the cognitive dissonance of the technology used to sustain unchecked capitalism versus the inevitable conflict with religious incompatibility is getting harder to ignore.  The framers of the Constitution deliberately separated church and state for a reason.  They saw how conflict over thousands of years in Europe was economically disastrous at intervals.  A huge shock to the system.  Nothing was better than religion for an excuse to start a holy war, incorrectly framed as a divine inspiration when it was just an excuse to take or retake lost “stuff”.  Cooperation and trade work much better to keeping people happy than dying because someone wants to take your stuff.

As social progress increased the strength of capitalism versus other economic systems has become obvious.  But how do the rich elites keep their power?  By being better at stealing other peoples stuff - what is illegal for a low class or working class citizen is off limits to being charged to and making it stick on to a wealthy citizen.

Now instead of a comfort in religion, we have the conspiracy theories.  Conspiracy theories that more and more make the idea of various divine entities look like the saner and more believable choice.  Religion could get you through socially.  Where I live, if you wanted to date a “nice girl”, she was inevitably a “good, white Christian girl”.  Then you get married in a big Christian wedding.  Get some decent income.  Share expenses which economically is a lot better than single people trying to live alone.  And make divorce shameful and expensive.  And don’t even think about suicide because buying an expensive funeral plot is the far better for the state than being responsible for cleaning up the mess.  (No, don’t commit suicide, it’s really not THAT bad, yet.). The point is, religion is good economics.

And that’s as opposed to baseless conspiracy which is bad for economics.  The content appeals to violence and hatred.  Unless your good Christian girl adopts the same mindset forget about a compatible long term relationship.  She’s more likely to have a bit of empathy.  Women, especially when treated as second class citizens like they are regressing to now, have always been the more compassionate of the genders.  Probably something to do with giving a shit for babies and not giving a shit about arbitrary scapegoats.

As conspiracy thinking takes hold we get sample conversations like this:

Trying to explain to a conspiracy theorist even the most basic economic facts is already impossible.  Now you average nice Christian girl has also been indoctrinated into believing that everything the liberals have ever said is wrong.  And when that doesn’t work out, instead of getting some comfort in a religion that promotes a kind and loving deity we get things like Haitian immigrants eating dogs.  While the rich republicans who created the inflation (no effort into mitigating climate change, because of MONEY) has made economic teaming up of people a necessity.

We already have some good educated guesses about the next four years. People have been voting against their long term self interest for a very, very long time. One prime example is super charged climate change hurricanes destroying lots of property in the southern U.S.  The odds of getting serious economic relief are pretty slim.  Insurance companies won’t touch policies, it’s even now.  Although they’ve mastered million dollar bonuses instead of paying out on legitimate claims it’s too obvious that bankruptcy is a serious problem.  Another fun one will be economic warfare on the global stage.  The kind of things that really drive gas prices instead of what Joe Biden said three days before.  We already have four years of Trump the terrible businessman and his go to tactic of not paying his bills.  When his tariff plan is put into place (relax for now, it was probably just an empty vote getting soon to be broken political promise) other sovereign entities will just stop doing business with us, or raise their prices to the U.S. as long as there’s enough demand elsewhere.  Again, blaming the liberals when you’re in full control of what is supposed to have checks and balances in place has been disastrous.  Get ready for the very, very real possibility of a global economic recession even as early as next year.  The pieces are already in place.  And that’s the shock to the system that results from pseudo economics.  Nothing in moderation.  The working class gets screwed over, the banks and insurance companies with their bloated CEO salaries survive.  And this is generated by populist voting activity by people who think the U.S. is a completely self sustained corporation that doesn’t ever need outside help.

Education Failure

Somewhat of a relief that all the big fuss is over with.  Most unfortunately, I’m better prepared than a lot of newcomers to the misinfo and conspiracy grifting network that is a large part of the grass roots support.  As has been said, misinformation has been around forever, it’s just a little more openly talked about nowadays.

This is mostly bits and pieces of things already said here.

More primitive societies had social issues taken care of much easier.  The internet was a shock to the system where suddenly conflicting social ideas spread around crazy fast.  One of the rings that has disappeared is the “trusted advisor” role to the leader.  And I somebody (like Fauci) doesn’t get you votes, what’s the point of using his wealth of knowledge?  The anti-science/anti-smart people movement has been pushing towards mediocrity.  What appeals to the most people makes sense for getting the most votes.  And now that an openly dictatorial personality has spread out so much contradictory vote getting promises it’s inevitable that promises will be broken.  (Yes, he really pushed the “I never wanted to take away abortion” line heavy at the end.)  Now it’s going to be interesting to see who is going to be available to throw under the bus when things go wrong.

Backing up to my parent’s generation.  A generation that had a lot of young adults that lived when WWII was raging and not being a fascist was considered a good thing.  America knew that ideologically there was going to be conflict with the Soviet Union post war.  The war itself proved a need for technological savvy, and simultaneously keeping people happy along the way.  Being educated, the American dream of going to college, getting a decent job and raising a family and all that stuff.  Capitalism works far better economically than communism.  And the “I must be smart because I figured out how to rip off people better” movement was in full swing.  An educated masses along the way was not a necessity.  It would just lead to a much more widespread group of future economic slaves who had an idea of what’s going on.

The need for too many educated people dropped off dramatically.  The Southern Strategy.  Don’t bother giving them right answers.  Give them a little religion, later some conspiracy theories, a gun and rose colored glasses.  And give them a scapegoat.  Some scapegoats became too obvious.  We never stopped being racist towards black and brown people.  We never stopped being misogynistic to women in the workplace.  We never stopped being selfish and cognitively biased.  The new scapegoat, the arbitrary scapegoat.  One so arbitrary that like a gematria decode that could mean anything was born.  And that more educated, more intelligent arbitrary scapegoat is what is someone living in the U.S.now is called a Democrat.

Since it’s not a one size fits all scapegoat and just like confirmation bias topics like racism and religion there are only some vague guidelines.  And of course (e.g. RINOs) since it can be applied to anybody, the accuser can point a finger at anyone.  But mostly, it’s empathy.  You’ve either got it or you don’t and it’s slipped away.  Eroded by generations of capitalism combined with instant gratification.

From my real life experience I’ve seen that the average middle class non Southerner with some decent education thinks there is unlimited resources and the goal is to hoard not just enough wealth for a comfortable retirement, but to gain enough passive income to generate more than you spend in a year.  It’s perfectly fine to them that getting into debt is a good thing.  Run up that credit card, and complain about how low your salary is to compensate for the difference.  The financial jobs hammer home the idea that greed is good.  Michael Douglas approves. 

  It's not office politics. It's politics, period.

When the person signing your paycheck is giving you your education on what works in life, it’s now the only source of socialization.  And the rich elites in power are often the worst people on the planet that care only for the continued hoarding of more wealth.  And what has never worked is having a dictator calling the shots when they only care about wealth.

——————————————————————-

So what can we expect over the next four years?  We can make some darn good educated guesses that the uneducated have proven not to recognize.

1). The internet has made virtually no progress on hate speech and misinformation topics.  They’d rather not alienate a huge swath of the 50%-50% pie.  So belief in stupid shit, the scams and fraud are here for pretty much forever.  This is something that individually you can immunize yourself from.  And maybe it’s time to stop caring about others being scammed.  You figure that out on your own ‘cause it depends on how much you care about the other person.

2). Vaccinations and health care regress.  Doctors and nurses are part of the no-no group of educated empathetic people.  Could to be more likely to vote for compassion to others than goose stepping along with the capitalists.  There will be enough narcissistic doctors for some form of health care.  But an actual functional system, that’s not happening.  And not within just the next four years but longer term - look for life expectancy to drop by a significant amount.  Which of course they’ll blame on liberals because that’s all they know.  There’s too many pesticides, plastics and the unpopularity of vaccines to have anything but a drop.

3). Gun violence will remain unchanged or get worse.  Not caring about kids at school for a long time has become entrenched in the mentality.  And why should you pick a target that fights back?  Proper policing requires some empathy - who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?  Screw that.  I’ve got my gun.  I’ll arbitrarily pick and choose.  Domestic violence has never been a popular topic to get passionate about when people don’t give a shit about each other.  More math added to the life expectancy dropping calculation.

4). Climate change.  The big one that I can’t figure out of any of the group of wealthy people with no empathy has figured out.  The world has been quite literally cooking for a long time.  And Drill, Baby, Drill makes no sense as a solution.  Indeed, some of these wealthy people have no idea that it’s not a hoax.  The chances of there not being several extremely expensive hurricanes in the south over the next four years are about zero.  The inflation for this is going to be astronomical.  Other than blaming the libs I can’t see anything else to be done about it at this point.  And they’ve shoot themselves in the foot.  It used to be buy a retirement home in Florida or Arizona, which are now on the opposite ends of Mother Nature’s too much water too little water spectrum.  The upcoming food shortages and accompanying inflation are going to give them a lot to complain and blame about.

5). Deregulation and dropping out.  Now serious OSHA or FDA or infrastructure oversight.  They’ve been working on this for a long time, and holding people accountable who don’t want their stash affected is super unpopular.  Not that there’s any place safe to go anymore, but I’m not hoping on a Boeing jet anytime soon.  Chemical spill from a train wreck?  Screw that.  We’re all about white guys doing what we want.  NATO membership won’t be important; it’s not our problem, at least not directly and obviously to the uneducated.  WHO?  Why do we care about global health issues even when we know what happens with pandemics.  The only question is which other country gets the blame.

Even though you don’t identify as openly bigoted, you’ve learned it’s OK to use your confirmation bias to attack other people, and the effects on morale at the workplace where politics is part of socializing with people everyday has lead to this bipartisan mess we’re in.  Block and obstruct since that’s all that can be done under the current system.

Elle Cordova - The Ballad of Ballot

 Ballad of the Ballot

Meme of the Month

 When people would rather have money than be right:

“They”

Who are “they” who are in possession of “their favorite numbers” is a great question.  Because based on the wording you can guess it’s the people who write scripts that are read on news broadcasts.  But you can never count on the psychology of people dead set on their confirmation bias to cooperate with your ideas.

Seven different two digit numbers.  All right in the comfort zone of mathematically turning up a shit load of times for single words or short phrases, even when limited to using the four most popular ciphers on the calculator.  Seven extremely common two digit numbers that if you had the time or a magic calculator that produced gematriot for everything you encountered and fed it into your brain you would quite literally see an insane number of times every day.  Inescapable, evil numbers.  Relentless, gangstalking, politically motivated and grifting numbers.

Of course it’s always 33 for Jeff.  If you go looking for a two digit number you can’t help but find it.  You could train your brain to look for different two digit numbers, but the crowd you hang out with is looking for 33, so that’s what gets you the coveted Attaboy!^TM from your cult leader of choice.  I’ve had the misfortune of being around this too long and I know instantly that 33 means Freemason.  In an alternate reality that has a different name for the organization and a magical number of levels to master different than 33, gematria clowns would use that number instead.

And the same applies to the other six numbers.  The conditioning for 42 is racism talk.  56 means Jesuits.  And so on.  This is why gematria concepts are one of stochastic terrorism’s best friends.  The “They” is not the news script writers per se, it’s the evil organization behind the scenes that they are part of that are the evil empire that Jeffrey the sooth tweaker is uncovering with his magic gematria decoder ring.  Even with just his seven two digit numbers he’s really able to point a finger at everyone and everything in the whole NWO/Illuminati/Freemason/Jesuit evil empire complex.  I’m not one to judge until I find out where Jeffrey stands on 46=LOW FAT BUTTER, but I’d bet a lot of money that if I had a few key details about Jeff, if that’s even his real name, that I’d find out a 33, 47, 42, 58, 59, 56, 74 or a million in his background.  Then, I wouldn’t judge him by the color that number paints on him, but by the content of his character and being gullible enough to believe that gematria adds value to an adult conversation.

In theory, I could very easily make an entire cult out of low fat butter.  Not so much by the low fat butter content, but by random association with negativity surrounding what people are making a big deal about.  And sometimes, actually daily, people complain about some remarkably stupid shit that distracts them from the deeper issues that are more meaningful.  This is what the modern GOP has mastered.  Although baseless conspiracy exists for all politics (grifters aren’t too picky) there’s already a lot of work on the books for the color of people’s skin, religion, and libtards that isn’t just going to be thrown out the window.  And certainly that list of seven tiny numbers isn’t going away.

Know Your Grifter Tactics - The Government Agent Narrative

Lots of gematria clowns will throw in some overused, “YouTube is censoring me” type narration.  My video is stuck on 200 views for a week!  They stopped my livestream!  Even going to the extent of purposefully turning off the sound and claiming social media is responsible.  It’s easy to manufacture that last one.  It’s cheap.  It’s time effective if you do it on a livestream, your followers will notify you of no sound.  Oh Tina!  There’s no sound!! (They are after all super secret agents who are the best at not coming to a consensus on if it’s an alien, reptile shapeshifter, clone, demon, hologram, or low fat butter demon.). Then after a minute or so you drop the stream, start a new one and complain about it.  Or really go all in and claim you had to restart the stream multiple times.  It’s amazing how the follow up with the exact same content that was “censored” in the first place has a 100% success rate in a follow up.  And on Twixter it looks something like this:

Unbelievable!  I deleted my Tweet and these suckers believe I’m a bad ass that’s being persecuted!!  Or even never put up a Tweet in the first place.  I included the famous Covid era 56 list that’s above that since they milked the “I’m being persecuted for talking about Ivermectin so my account was deleted” story to death.

But you know what’s more scary than social media persecution?  Government persecution.  Because a functioning democracy works better when your government is not messing around doing things government shouldn’t be doing.

https://www.britannica.com/event/Bay-of-Pigs-invasion

It’s not my job or desire to pass any moral judgment on whether it’s justified to stop the spread of communism or it’s a clear sign of government failure in treating its citizens.  I am 100% certain that someone at that time doing gematria that finds a two or three digit number showing that Adlai Stevenson is the Antichrist is not the bastion of journalistic integrity to be weighing in.

And when you don’t want to point the finger directly at your social media site of choice, there’s always government agents.  They have infiltrated the  (fake) journalists on social media to disguise their nefarious activities.

Which means it’s time again to reinforce the old truism about the self contradictory nature of gematria and numerology.

Based on gematria alone, every single person living now, who ever lived in the past, and who will be alive in the future can be deemed evil by gematria.

As far as grand conspiracies go that are logistically impossible to occur, sabotaging gematria itself is right up there with the nuttiest, weirdest and most useless gibberish you can post on social media.  The numbers and letters are kind of fixed and know qualities.  What you make of them is what’s open for discussion.  And we can be about 100% certain that gematria sports grifters and paid propaganda spreaders are not the bastion of journalistic integrity to be weighing in on what’s going on.  And we also doubt that someone gullible enough to believe in gematria decoding as facts is worthy of government funded sabotage.

The Bureau of Gematria Standards

 

You know what would really fix this world right up?  A little bit of standards.  And as soon as this election is decided we need to start a new cabinet position and appoint the first head of the Bureau of Gematria Standards.

Crystal here doesn’t get the nod.  Crystal Octaball sounds like a Magic 8 ball reference.  And those things are notoriously vague and don’t really answer the questions.  As opposed to gematria which is notoriously vague and never really answers any questions.  Of course, there’s also horoscopes which are notoriously vague and never really answer any questions.  The pattern here?  Shooting for 60% success rate is against the rules.  There are two and only two distinct success rates for gematria.  And to be head of the BGS you’ve got to be promoting one or the other.

First of all, there’s the 50% crowd.  That’s the traditional and more popular crowd because sports is more important than a tolerable temperature to work outside or children’s mental health.  Just slap together the best sounding narrative you’ve got and actually make a pick and suffer the shame of really only being right about half the time.  It’s not spectacular and doesn’t really get any glory.  But you as a newbie haven’t learned how to cheat yet.  You can work your way up the ladder, try to get a position as a staffer with the reputation of getting through life as a battler with the school of hard knocks.  But you really don’t get anywhere politically without cheating.  That’s where the big backs are.

So you’re much better off being part of the 0% crowd.  That’s right, 0% and not 100%.

Sure it’s marketed as 100% or damn close, but in reality being wrong on everything is very intellectually liberating.  In gematria, if you’re focused on looking for a single value as soon as you find it the value in the other ciphers that you didn’t use is bound to be a different number.  Bingo, wrong again.  And the people love themselves the personalities that are wrong about everything on purpose.  Alex Jones - wrong about everything.  See how easy and lucrative it is?  What’s this 60% success rate nonsense?  That’s almost respectable.

For the head of the BSG you need the other qualities in the top influencers and pundits that enjoy being wrong about everything.

- Project that you are being persecuted while you are actually doing the harassment.

- Project that you are being cheated while you are the one doing the cheating.  You can even spend months or years in advance of an election talking about being cheated before the election so you can start an (another) insurrection!  Isn’t that fun?

- Stochastic terrorism.  Keep them guessing by never being able to anticipate the target.  42 could mean the N word, rednecks, Jesuits or butterflies.  I’ve never met a butterfly that I liked enough to want to party with it.  Kill ‘em all.

- Guns.   Because everything is better with guns, not that it seems logical for the Bureau.  But that’s a core gematria value, being illogical is more important for being wrong all the time than any well thought out arguments.

- Identification of what you hate.  Brown people, immigrants, gay people, smart people, atheists, low fat butter, Asians, puppies, Bud Light, sudoku, and gosh the list is too damn long already.  It can be shortened to listing one thing - you hate everyone that’s not you.

- Identification of what you hate stripped away from the projection.  You hate yourself.  You’re so insecure in your own need for attention and lack of humanity that you’re lashing out at anything and everything instead of treating your fellow people with decency and respect.  If you need gematria to prop up you’re own fragile lack of self respect you are a perfect candidate for head of the BGS.

Google Fined By Russia and Gematria

 

People would rather have money than be right about things.  And I’m pretty sure there are lots of gematria newbies that are going to go through at least a decade of admiring Russia for its wealth because both Google and a multi decillion dollar lawsuit number are really, really big numbers.

Living in a very red part of a swing state I’ve seen the death grip that pseudo economics has on employment.  I’ve seen how it drives a relentless push for mediocrity in financial sector jobs.  Because people that are too smart have bullshit detectors off the charts and don’t fit in with the wear a suit and tie, play golf, and be a good white make Christian nationalist vision while committing fraud on a massive scale.  The names of Trump and Musk are revered for their wealth alone, not because of the manner it was acquired.  A carrot that is dangled that keeps new fresh out of college recruits who absorbed more student loan debt than they can handle thinking I too can become rich and famous if I just keep on the hamster wheel.

Well good luck dealing with your inevitable employee morale issues.  Because as they consume their Fox News originated propaganda, there’s gematria style thinking dragging down the quality of even the somewhat ridiculous to the insanely ridiculous.  If you want to keep your nice job and pay off a tiny portion of your student loan debt, it’s not “cool” to call out your news sources for the really stupid and dangerous shit they say.  Better toe the party line and talk the trash talk, even if it’s from the same crowd that thinks there’s a gematria connection between zero and the letter o since they look the same.  Not necessarily every day, but I can’t go two weeks without somebody saying a sarcastic, “Thanks, Obama!” or “Bleeding heart liberals” while not giving out any specifics about actual evidence for your hatred.  Curiously, the better off financially of these people are the types that decades ago thought it was a good idea to buy real estate in Florida.  How’s that working for you now?

Because the same confirmation bias that applies to the gematria decodes and which religion is the good one or what skin colors are wrong (oh yeah, they do focus more on what’s wrong than what is right) applies to multiple generations of socialization.  Multiple generations of being Republican for the sake of being Republican more than being an American have been driven home.  You’re not a true Republican unless the first words out of your mouth are not some dig against liberal policies.  Gematria as conspiracy theory light gives them more back up for their chatter.  Those grifters help spread disinformation, some of which is paid for by Russian propaganda, that gives the non intellectual social media machinery a boost in confidence.  And now that Russia is just a couple of hours away from collecting more wealth than the entire global GDP, maybe it’s time to start talking up how great they are.

The pseudo economics is driven by one fatal flaw that is buried within.  The economics are designed to maximize wealth TODAY and hoard it.  And it only works with unlimited resources and no waste products to deal with.  Then when the lack of long term thinking hits and the debt is still there, there’s no recourse but to complain about every monetary issue.  Don’t tax ME.  But those other guys…yeah I’m cool with that.  Pay my insurance claim.  Those hurricane victims…yeah, fuck them.  The unsustainable lack of infinite resources for paying climate change related inflation in the upcoming generations, that’s going to make these people a lot of fun to deal with.  And we already know what they’ll say about it.  A gematria decode of the word INFLATION and a hearty, “Thanks Obama!”

Know Your Grifter Tactics - Being Wrong and Being Proud of It

 I picked Simple Truth Television as a generic, “I’m not Zachary Hubbard” sports betting operation.  Being proud of being wrong, manifested in not removing all the old material that was wrong and taking the time to be wrong about multiple incompatible ideas so that at least something might hit as a win.

Now he definitely is not as abrasive as Zach, which might work to his disadvantage.  For example, Trump’s base of followers are notoriously unhinged and weird and it’s what elevates MAGA to actual cult status.  There’s so many things wrong to choose from and they do not care.  What they do care about and love is the angry ranting and open hatred.  For Arthur of Simple Truth, last I heard he was a taxi or Uber driver and the fake predictions on the internet for sports betting was just a side hustle.  Additionally, Simple Truth TV makes its way into the Sports Gematria recap videos as someone calling out Zach for his racist remarks; one of the leaders of the “I’m not Zach therefore my sports picks are good” logical fallacy crowd.

So what actually happened and is gone now was at least one short video declaring that it would be Mets and Yankees in the World Series.  

There is this older “clue” video indicating a Subway Series, but as the possibility grew less remote he got bolder.  That mimics Zach’s format really well, start of with clues.  Wait until the playoff teams are announced before going too crazy on actual predictions.  Then tweaking as the upsets happen and the final play is in the books.  So it was Mets/Yankees.  Then it was Dodgers/Yankees.  Then he rolled the dice and it was Dodgers sweeping in four.  Then it was the current video, boldly proclaiming “As predicted Dodgers win the World Series.”

One thing I’m certain of.  Even though it was a likely possibility, NOBODY in the gematria sports crowd predicted Dodgers winning the World Series in five games before the first pitch was thrown.  Always the post mortem analysis framed as genuine predictions.  A cheap parlor trick that has been going on before the internet.

Making multiple predictions and false claims and not caring that you’re wrong about them should influence people’s decision making process.  But instead they just dismiss what they want to not believe and latch on to the other echo chamber messaging that based on bias they liked.

Perhaps the marketing plan can incorporate this idea for the remainder of the football season:

The sports picks are equally bad no matter where you land.  So have a coupon for money off.  <sarcasm font>Because winning a gazillion dollars with a magical system that was discounted $10 makes all kinds of fucking sense.</sarcasm font>

Know Your Grifter Tactics - Lack of Dedication

When you have a long running TV series there’s usually an ongoing theme for the entire series.  I shouldn’t have to say that, but a couple generations of lack of real education does wonders for vaporizing critical thinking brain cells.  So you’ve got The Walking Dead.  Few humans left versus zombies.  Got it.  Now you dress up individual seasons with a narrative that ties together that season leading up to a climactic season finale.  Wow, Negan is a human but he’s a bad ass meanie and he’s gonna kill someone in our group of heroes.  Got it.  Then there’s room to throw in single episodes that don’t have much or anything to do with the theme.

This is about continuity errors.  Dedicated fans will never forgive a switch to the series premise.  Completely alienated by the idea that they were really sick humans that could be treated medically instead of zombies.  Or anything major.  A continuity error, that can slip by, even when noticed as being forgivable.  Negan given, two seasons after his introduction, a birthday party and it’s stated he’s five years younger than two years ago.  Which didn’t happen.

There’s zero dedication to the staff that puts out outrage porn conspiracy theories.  Covid has a still a thing, but since there’s an election a week away, so what?  I don’t believe in the crap I’m churning out, so let’s completely lose sight of the continuity.

Teri Garr is a celebrity well known enough to Boomers that there’s some instant name recognition.  But combining her not being an A list celebrity with ignoring the previous season’s content we got this:

A single, lonely Twixter post a half a day after the MSM announcement of her passing about the vaccines being the cause.  The incessant disrespectful chatter from a few years ago about the plans the government had to kill off the world population through an impossible to achieve logistically program of forced vaccinations is essentially completely forgotten.  Because stupid shit like that’s more easily replicated by the mindless keyboard warrior army is much more important.  Stupid shit translation - Kamala working at McDonald’s, Haitians eating pets, or whatever nonsense Trump just said.  That’s some high quality cult like behavior.

The gematria scriptwriters fared little better with two posts from one single account.

That one I understand pretty well.  They’ve been sticking to sports lately.  A safe haven for the series premise that you can magically win lots of money gambling regardless of who is the U.S. president.  The chuckle knobs that wrote the material during Covid.  They’ve either moved on or they’re planning out the next season.  Maybe that will be Insurrection 2.0.  Maybe that will be more hurricanes created by those pesky libs to make red state southern U.S. republican leaders look bad.  Maybe it can be lots of other repeated plot points.  But you have no predictive powers with low quality gematria style fake evidence, so you need a better read on the test audience for an ending that makes at least some sense for the series narrative modified into a season narrative.  What we do know.  It will be pure fiction.  It will be hateful and bigoted because that’s all they know.  And it will at times be mind numbingly stupid.

Turf Wars - Again

 https://youtu.be/JkpP-ObV5UY?si=MLR5sGLc2oLa-Acg

Zach announced this video on his Twitter channel, which may in part explain recent interest in my material.  Historically, instead of using these pages to awaken to how the whole gematria picking sports winners and even Presidents is hogwash, people with their own attention getting ideas look for dirt to attack Zach.  And as with the defection in this video gematria is not treated as being “wrong” outright, it’s just “weird and not for me.”

And that is perfectly fine, especially when there is a perfectly reasonable and logical counterpoint presented like there is here, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

I’m speculating that Zach has been busy trying to drum up followers for his ever changing group of Patreon subscriber griftees.  When he does that he starts getting push to have his followers try and spread the word to other truthers.  These people tend to talk among themselves because even a Joe Rogan personality doesn’t want anything to do with them for even a piece of a show.  So you get maybe a couple thousand people that get exposed to gematria for the first time and some might get hooked on the bait of making money gambling for just one season.

So in this video, the conversation shifts to if you’re from Zimbabwe, does gematria even affect you since it’s being done on English.  Now, the correct answer is that it operates the same regardless of language - it’s a dishonest attempt to manufacture fake evidence to support your talking point.  The talking point can vary but it’s usually sports or politics and once in a blue moon actually the original Biblical scripture use.  And when Turf Wars brew, there’s not an awakening.  The cult members already have training on push back since they get it all the time.  And in this, it’s.  Well the numbers are everywhere and the numbers don’t lie.

So I’d like to add my favorite counter to that for the Turf War.

Like you aren’t committed to English as the written and spoken language, there are loads of other numbering systems.  Just because base ten makes sense to us there is binary, base 8, hexadecimal, Roman numerals.  These get used for gematria.  It’s been awhile but there was a lovely little phase when Roman numerals were used as the English letters all willy nilly just to force narratives.

The real point is if the conversation started opposite - talking about numbering systems and Zach’s crony conceded it would have then switched to, “but the letters don’t lie” and maybe spouting a couple of the old chestnuts that make a little more sense than others.

It’s arguing for the sake of arguing.  Contrarianism for the sake of attention.

All? Did You Say ALL?!?

Sorry, but gematria isn’t designed for an ALL designation.  Gematria is designed for stumbling around aimlessly until you find that one thing that suits your narrative and making a big deal about it.  In the meantime ignoring the many failures along the way.  With a little patience it’s inevitable to come up with something that follows even the less bizarre and commonly accepted cheats to find the opposite narrative.

 

Two of the lesser used ciphers, but still available on the Gematrinator calculator and possibly my favorite cheat of all time, dropping zeroes.  Since the Squares cipher usually ends up getting some pretty chunky values dropping zeroes or even dropping repeated digits may be your best friend there.

It was a pretty simple task to poke around using various combinations of Kamala and Harris and something indicating election victory compared to BTTF or Back to the Future.

As always, the real challenge in gematria would be to not find any match at all.  Words like ALL and NONE have no business being in the conversation or the decision making process of who to vote for.

Know Your Gematria Grifter Tactics - Bad Grammar

 

Our story today starts with one of my favorite parts of gematria, Phaseshropping.  Or if you prefer, call it cherry picking through different synonyms or lists of similar words (e.g. demon and harpy aren't synonymous, but close enough for “evil”) until you find the one that bests suit your forced gematria.  And then there is the gematria phraseshopper’s best friend, the letter ‘s’.  Dog and dogs are both easily identified as the same creature.  In addition to plurals, ‘s’ also has the value of being part of verb conjugation.  He can lose his temper easily and he loses his temper easily.

So our friend here has decided to buck the trend of the mainstream idea that 666 is the king of the evil numbers and give us an excuse to watch King Leonidas kick some Persian ass because the Spartans don’t like their pronouns.  So it’s also important to imply that it’s not just your narcissistic self centered phraseshopping ass that decided 300 is super important, let’s drag some deities into it.  2 Gods of undetermined intent or origin, chose Trident sugarless 300 for gods that prefer 300 as the symbol of evil gum.  And the intent was to phraseshop 2=2 with A1=1+1=2 to refer to a singular and transfer the ‘s’ to the verb and…

Use choses which isn’t a real word unless you’re talking about the old Norman word for things, a noun.

The intent was to never find any divine or meaningful connection between phrases.  Finding a 300 or five is a foregone conclusion.  There’s no serious thought or intent to insert an expert opinion at the adults table.  And there’s no care for being right, even on what should be a simple thing like grammar.

My grammar isn’t perfect but I’ve been a long way separated from making up words to prove my point imperfect.  And what I’ve learned over the past decade is that it is pointless to actively go on Twixter where I found this and point out the correction.  I have some specific thoughts to share about grammar Nazis that will be toned almost entirely differently depending on the outcome of the November 5th election.

Nuclear Civil War Gematria

 

Your squad is off on patrol while the rest of the platoon is doing other platoony stuff.  And you sight your enemy, two soldiers from the hated other side - probably gay, maybe white but they look tan enough, definitely lefties.  The gematria said so.  You sneak up close enough to fire your trusty AR-15 and then the squad leader decides,

“Fuck it, just nuke ‘em.”

The account that posted nuclear war gematria shows as being from California.  I can’t be sure with the #iran and #israel but it’s odd that we’re talking about “military activity in my area”.  And training foot soldiers for a nuclear war in the Middle East.  That’s not the best use of tax dollars that could go better to the Trump/Vance vision of economic strength via bloated insurance executive salaries and bonuses.  What exactly do you train them to do?  Die of radiation sickness a little bit slower?

Or, <gasp>, since gematria is so vague and the right wing extremists that run their mouths off with gematria decodes about the end of the world, are you actually thinking you need to have the military trained on standby for a civil war on U.S. soil?!?  That’s kinda the problem with shitty gematria style evidence.  War Is Coming doesn’t tell you when, where, who is warring.  That’s the sort of need to know information that the troops should be let in on.  Even before working out the logistics of 1/2 and 1/2 of the ideologies being mingled throughout the land you have to have a rough idea of who the enemy is.  For instance, HITLER was a bad guy.  Easy, right?!  Japan had it easy - giant dinosaur with radioactive breath - that’s the bad guy.  You fly your plane close by, shoot your middles, then it sweats you out of the air and you die.  Got it?  Now Trump, he’s the good guy because he loves HITLER.  Shut up and learn who to wear your lead flak jacket so you can shout pro Republican slogans for a few hours after radiation exposure.

The right has a pretty solid lock on the “I have a gun and I’m not afraid to use it crowd”.  They’ve got the neo Nazi militias.  They’ve got some YouTube channels masked as gun rights activism that just by their existence serve to intimidate.  Whoa.  Maybe it’s safer for me to be pro Trump.  My asshole neighbor might kill me otherwise.  And although those accounts appear a lot in the angry prepper circles there is one that although he doesn’t actually do gematria he comments on Zach’s videos.  And the relationship is symbiotic, Zach’s gematria flunkies comment on how great his videos are.  (Side note, according to his own words on a recent video he just lost his job.  It’s pretty safe to guess that he drew the line at a nuclear AR-15 as being a bit too much of overkill.)

As soon as one person is allowed to have a personal drone with miniature nuclear missiles then EVERYONE is going to need one.  It’s our inalienable right to have something arguably a gun, if you have the right Supreme Court justices in place, to fly around unregulated.  Civil War without anybody having a clue as to who the actual enemy is sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?  Glorified road rage where the gematria gives you the excuse for your arbitrarily selected target.

2024 Election - Real Evidence Vs. Fake Evidence

Legal Eagle YouTube

The last eight years has not been a lot of fun for people who can actually apply critical thinking skills and sit back and watch those that refuse to accept reality, even if for a brief period of time.  As with myself, I am not 100% on board with all of Harris’s policy positions and announced plans.  I have voted for Republican presidents in the past and not been too sorry about the choice considering the other option.  But it’s pretty easy to see if you look at the real evidence that voting for Trump in this election is what is traditionally called wasting your vote.  Objectively there’s no reason to vote for a proven criminal to be the leader of a democracy, that’s a huge oxymoron and shows the most brazen lack of understanding big the American Constitution possible - voting for a dictator.

But The People have their say, as misguided as they are.  And through purposeful lack of education and deflecting blame to the wrong targets, there are a significant number of people more than willing to believe the word of so called influencers who for fun and profit have a job of disseminating disinformation that still holds a grip on those who refuse to apply any effort to analyzing long term effects.  And although they might not actually outnumber people who are willing to think critically occasionally, they are a lot more vocal and produce an outsized portion of background static - misinformation that clouds the real issues.

The Legal Eagle video linked above gives a pretty good recap of the multitude of reasons not to vote for Trump from an objective and rational standpoint.  Recapping every offense would be impossible.  Every day he opens his mouth Trump proves his lack of fitness for office and the sorry state of my country to allow him to gain that post in the first place.  All the real evidence you need for November 5th is in there.  And today I want to highlight what he said about judging people by the company they keep.  Although the legal, financial, and life troubles of a Rudy Giuliani makes the news the influencer propagated propaganda responsible for the useless background noise has an impact, a rather significant one, on conversations that take place in real life outside of the internet.  And if you believe that gematria quality evidence counts as good information worthy of being added to the conversation, that’s pretty sad for you, indirectly for me, and the rest of the world that mostly views Trump correctly as the incompetent nitwit he is.  Somehow asshats doing Obama is the Antichrist decodes is more worthy of voting decisions than Trump’s proven track record of being a terrible businessman, lack of understanding of economics, numerous bankruptcies, and throwing his staff of “experts” under the bus on a whim.

 

Earlier I covered who TRUMP=29 and BIDEN=29 in reverse reduction.  (Busting on gematria is my thing, but there’s lots of other Fox News generated propaganda that could be substituted for fake news examples).  The same principle that applied to that applies with Harris.  No matter what phrase you make pro or con about one can easily be shifted to the other.  It’s impossible other than by more fakery (e.g. the bullshit “discernment in gematria decodes” argument) to justify gematria alone as a valid piece of evidence.

The company that the modern GOP keeps has been taking advantage of the broken electoral college system for ages.  There’s an outsized impact of gematria style evidence having an impact on less educated rural populations, especially the Deep South.  And by gosh they are more than happy to verbally assault people in real life and the internet with the talking points.  Gematria, conspiracy theory light, an opening gunfight in the movie to sit you down and listen to the bigoted, hateful and factually incorrect other material to follow.

Although even the likes of a Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn’t openly embraced gematria, the company she keeps and those that voted her in does.  At least some of them.  And she sure as hell hasn’t done the intellectually proper and sane thing of coming out and publicly proclaiming, “Gematria is bullshit”.  

A vote for Trump was a a vote for lawlessness.  A society filled with workplaces that everyone is allowed to do whatever they want with no repercussions which will end up being people mutually treading on each other’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  That’s humanity for you.  As Devin says in the video, this is not hyperbole, the most important election of your lifetime is just around the corner and it’s time for America to get their shot together before the economic disaster of being ostracized by the rest of the parts of the world with a more functional government.

But That’s Not Fast Enough

You got up this morning, tense about the upcoming election regardless of which candidate you support.  And you have to wait until fucking SUNDAY to count your losses on shitty sports picks.  What do you do?  You NEED to lose that money NOW.

Get a memecoin.

It’s this age’s version of the penny stock.  Super speculative, highly attractive to criminals for its use as a pump and dump scheme (schemecoin?) and doesn’t have any real value.  Just a giggle to have a community centered club to talk about.

But wait a second, you say you’re a gematria sports junkie and you’re just itchin’ to get a taste of that sweet feel of an empty checking account ASAP?!  There’s great news for you - the gematria memecoin, $GMTR.

Now that’s the ticket.  Blending ancient wisdom with modern technology because you just know the evil empire that codes our entire language to mean anything you want to make it mean was dying to make cryptocurrency a thing back when the sports were things like foot races in sandals and the javelin throw.

One of the first things I noticed about GMTR is that in reverse it equals 50.  You know what else equals 50?  FRAUD=50.  That doesn’t look to good.  But I know that gematria can be used to mean anything I want so I’m not worried.  If I wanted to I could do a whole narrative on the GMTR tie to FASCISM = 229, 229 being the 50th prime number and blah, blah, blah, but what would be the point?  I have critical thinking skills and understand that memes are good for some laughs but not a basis for financial decision making or even who is the the better candidate not Donald Trump.

Which is part of the whole gematria style level of evidence problem.  Emotional reaction to fear porn based on baseless conspiracy versus long term objective evidence.  Sit down with a gematria memecoin purchaser and they are far more likely to show blind allegiance to Trump not DESPITE he talked about cats being eaten but BECAUSE he talked about cats being eaten.  And they will then show you all the memes they have saved up to own the libs.  And try to talk about his bankruptcies and adding to the national debt and how Obama and Biden actually did good with the economy and see that you will make zero progress on convincing them.

The meme is mightier than the sword.
