Why Epstein's Association with US and Foreign Intelligence is More Interesting to Me than his Association with Underage Girls...

Fortunately, Epstein's Science "Advisors" were Ignorant Hacks Chasing Maths through the Looking Glass!

 

"Jeffrey Epstein is what I would call 'an anti-interesting phenomena'", said Eric Weinstein (12:07)... somebody call the Anti-Mimetics Division of Secure, Contain, Protect (SCP) Foundation to Report the Epstein Antimeme!

...but how to describe it in the Report?  Paedophilia?  A Sex Scandal?  ...or an Intelligence Construct?  Few unfamiliar with the nature of antimemes and conspiracy theories (ie- The Conspiratorium) would describe it as the latter.

 

...kinda like the Pizzagate, a de/ pre-bunking antimeme! :)

Selected Notes on Puerto Rico's History: From Spanish Possession to US Commonwealth

from Google AI:

As a result of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the subsequent Treaty of Paris, the United States acquired control over the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Spain relinquished sovereignty over these territories, marking the U.S.'s rise as a global power with overseas possessions. While Cuba gained independence, it was under U.S. influence.

The U.S. Senate approved the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 1952 to grant the island greater local autonomy—including the right to draft its own constitution—while maintaining U.S. sovereignty, aiming to neutralize rising independence movements and deflect international criticism of American "colonialism". This new status served to provide self-government by consent while keeping the island under the territorial clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Key reasons for the creation of the Commonwealth (Estado Libre Asociado) included:

Political Self-Determination: Championed by Puerto Rico's first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, the arrangement allowed for a local constitution, a popularly elected governor, and a legislative assembly, fulfilling demands for self-rule without full statehood. 

International Image & Communism: The move provided a "convincing answer" to charges of imperialism and colonialism, bolstering the U.S. position in the United Nations during the Cold War by showing a, "non-self-governing territory" achieving self-government.

Economic Strategy: It helped manage the economic situation and allowed for continued, stable, and close economic relations with the United States.

Legal "Compact": Congress enacted Public Law 600 in 1950, which authorized the process, establishing a "compact" between the U.S. and the people of Puerto Rico.

While it granted a "full measure of self-government" in internal matters, it maintained the ultimate authority of Congress over the island.

In 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico adopted the flag officially, changing the triangle's color from azul celeste (sky blue) to a dark navy blue to match the United States flag. This political move was intended to align the flag with the U.S. and strip it of its original association with revolutionary, pro-independence movements.

Key Reasons for the 1952 Puerto Rico Flag Color Change:

Political Alignment with the U.S.: The change to dark blue was designed to make the flag "resemble the U.S. flag," signaling a closer relationship with the United States. 

Removing Radical Symbolism: The original flag, featuring a light blue triangle, was designed in 1895 and associated with pro-independence, anti-colonialist sentiment, and was once illegal to fly.

Distancing from Past Conflict: By adopting a navy blue, the newly established Commonwealth government aimed to distance the flag from its rebellious history.

Flag Normalization: The 1952 adoption allowed the public to display the flag legally after decades of it being forbidden by the U.S. colonial government, but with the modified, darker color.

The original azul celeste (light blue) color, representing independence, continued to be used by pro-independence advocates, while the navy blue version was used by the government and those favoring statehood. In 1995, the Commonwealth government officially returned to a lighter shade of blue, though not as light as the original revolutionary, for official use.

Correlation or Causation? Public Corruption in Democratic Strongholds

Symbols of Hidden/ Concealed Beauty/ Values OR Markers of Preselected Territorial Landscapes of Desire...?

from Google AI:

Lacan’s phrase "the desire of the Other" (le désir de l’Autre) posits that human desire is not innate or personal but is constructed, mediated, and directed by external, societal, and linguistic structures. It implies that humans desire what they believe others—specifically the "Big Other" (language, culture, society)—desire, and they crave recognition from another. 

Key Aspects of "Desire of the Other" 

Desire of the Other's Desire: Human, conscious desire is focused on being desired, loved, or recognized by another person, often modeled after the Hegel-Kojève master/slave dialectic.

Desire from the Other: Desire is shaped by the symbolic order (language and culture) into which a subject is born. The subject's desires are "inmixed" with these social, external, and legal structures, making it "the" desire, rather than "my" desire. 

Desire for what the Other lacks: The subject attempts to become the object that the Other lacks (e.g., the child trying to be the "phallus for the mother" in the Oedipal stage). 

Che vuoi? (What do you want?): The subject constantly questions what the Big Other desires from them, leading to a perpetual, unsatisfied search for validation, according to No Subject and YouTube. 

Anxiety and Proximity: Anxiety arises when this "Other" is too close, or when the subject is unsure what the Other wants, causing the symbolic structure of their desire to break down, say YouTube users. 

Ultimately, for Lacan, because desire is always aimed at the elusive, symbolic "Other," it is fundamentally a "metonymy of being" that is never fully satisfied.

Luca Giordano, "The Abduction of Helen"

Konstantinos Bogdanos, "The Odyssey of identity: Why we must fight for the face of Helen of Troy"

As Helen of Troy is about to be portrayed as black in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, the latest episode in the war for the soul of the West questions our very fundamentals. You see, Greek history marks the beginning of the West, so the Trojan War is the first great Western story. And in the Bronze Age, Greeks were white. Same as all Europeans ever. In fact, the Western civilisation, in all its glory and tragedy throughout the millennia, has been a predominantly white affair. Beyond good or bad, this is a fact.

The Kenyan Lupita Nyong’o may be the most beautiful and talented actress on planet earth. Still, she cannot be Helen of Troy. The same way that Matt Damon cannot be Shaka, the Zulu king, and Leonardo DiCaprio could not dare imagine playing Martin Luther King. Because all the film-watching ignorants, children and teenagers out there must know that African warriors and US civil rights movement leaders were black u just as Helen of Troy was white. Elsewise, we produce uneducated fools.

Fortunately, the rumor that Nyong’o will portray the “face that launched a thousand ships” has ignited a firestorm that got people to talk about it. On one side, we have Elon Musk, who brought the subject up. On the other, Christopher Nolan – a director we once trusted with the gravity of history. Musk’s verdict was characteristically blunt: “Nolan has lost his integrity”. But this is not just a dispute over casting. It is a diagnostic check of civilisational disease.

We should start with the source material. Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are not vague suggestions. They are the bedrock of European literature, referring to an actual war which took place around 1200 BC. In Book 3 of the Iliad, Helen is described as leukōlenos, which means “white-armed”. In the Odyssey, she is xanthê, “golden-haired” or “fair-skinned”. Homer portrays her as the daughter of Zeus, the ultimate archetype of Achaean beauty. She was white, exactly because the world that gave birth to her was the cradle of the European identity.

Pretending otherwise is not “creative interpretation”. It is a deliberate, ideological falsification of our shared heritage. This progressive trend of “race-swapping” historical and fictional figures – from Anne Boleyn and Cleopatra to the Little Mermaid and now, potentially, Helen of Troy – is creating a context where facts simply do not matter. When a Netflix documentary depicts the Greek-Macedonian Queen Cleopatra as a Sub-Saharan African, it is not “representation”. It is an admission that the narrative is more important than the truth.

This phenomenon is dangerous because it treats history as a toy for social engineering. If we can delete the physical reality of Helen of Troy today, we can delete the historical reality of the Battle of Marathon, the clash at Tours, or the Normandy landings tomorrow. When facts become negotiable, the progressive elites of Davos and Hollywood gain total control over our collective memory.

Moreover, let us be direct: This trend is, in its essence, a manifestation of a new, systemic racism against white people. Under the disguise of “equity”, the cultural establishment is engaged in a project of erasure. You will never see a white actor cast as Nelson Mandela or Mansa Musa – and quite rightly so, for that would be an insult to the history of South Africa, Mali, if not blacks in general. Yet, the history and mythology of the West are treated as fair game for dismantling.

By replacing white archetypes with black actors in stories that belong to the European tradition, the woke culture is signalling that white identity has no right to its own symbols. It tells white European children that their ancestors and their legends are fluid, irrelevant, or, worse, something to be corrected. In the 8th century, the iconoclasts broke the icons of the saints. In the 21st, the woke bureaucrats are breaking the images of our heroes.

We have seen this script before. Whether it was the Black Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton or the multi-ethnic Viking courts in Vikings: Valhalla, the goal is the same: Uprooting the cultural foundations and values of the West. This is the ultimate target: A world without roots, without borders, and without a past that can be recognised as ours. If Helen can be anyone, then she is no one. If the “face that launched a thousand ships” is stripped of its specific, Greek and European identity, then the ships themselves have no home to return to.

The lesson for Europeans should be clear. We cannot defend the identity, sovereignty and borders of our continent and Union of nations if we do not first defend the truth of their culture. We cannot allow our past and legends to be colonised by an ideology that hates the people who created them. History is not a diversity seminar, and the daughter of Zeus does not need a modern makeover. She needs her face back.

...so the Casting (vis Exogamy) is PERFECT!

from Google AI:

In Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus, who disguised himself as a gentle white bull to charm her on the shore. He carried her across the sea to Crete, where he revealed his identity and she became the first queen of the island, bearing sons who ruled the land. Her story represents the naming of the continent of Europe, symbolizing a connection between the East and West.

...because the East was Endogamous!
