A Shocking Theory - He Might Be Right

Today, we'll finish General Mac's interview with Sarah Westall, here at Twitter: @westall_sarahw. I've made it up to 26:51 in notations and responses so far.

 2) As a student of how studying works, I was deeply surprised by yesterday's work. The interview up on one screen, my thread up on the other, I was able to start and stop comfortably. I could look up sources by pausing the interview. I enjoyed it. That shocks me.
3) Mind, I'm NOT saying I did a good job. It was the first time I've ever done that sort of commentary and real time research simultaneously. It's all kind of weird to me. You know, old dogs, new tricks, not easy, but so much fun!
4) From then till now, however, I've noticed an explosion of confusion in our nation over what's actually happening. We're in a fantastically sensitive moment in our history. Who's voice do we listen to, now? This is a tremendous question. Who's voice?
5) Most people don't care as much about theory as I do. I am a theoretician. Some fighting part of me knew, back in 2016, that almost no one was working off a very specific theoretical base. Maybe Trump was right. Allow me to shout:

MAYBE TRUMP WAS RIGHT

That is a theory.
6) I can't linger to reminisce about what that meant then, because it's so important right now. The same theory, and its corollaries, are critical for where we are right now. There's a somewhat surprising additional concept underlying my theory. Respect.
7) Before I was able to surrender to my desire to support Trump, I had to complete my research. So, I reread The Art of the Deal - more on that another time - and then ordered every book he'd written. Funny thing. Before that, I didn't even know he was a best selling author.
8) So let me ask. How many of Trump's books have you read? Don't take that as a challenge, please. I only ask in order to illustrate how my theory works. If you joined me in my theory you'd buy a Trump book and then ask, what if maybe...

Trump Was Right?
9) Having employed this theory since 2016, I can tell you that even for me - I am a gigantic Trump supporter, obviously! - the answer to the question does not always come out yes. Trump was far from always right. I have many major disagreements with my leader.
10) What I don't do is publicize my disagreements. I don't attack the man whom I support. It was obvious to me that he had plenty enough attackers, he had no need of my additional input to those attacks. My hope was always to be a friend, a true friend.
11) From the moment I formulated the question till this very day, I have yet to regret my theory. I look at every situation through that lens. No need to select any specifics, history is moving too fast. I purport that assuming Trump might be right is the right mode now.
12) And that brings us up the generals, specifically @GenFlynn and General McInerney. Let me speak about General Flynn for a moment, first. He was always 100% innocent. As such, he is a specimen of America's decline. Innocence is not presumed. The presumption has died.
13) Dive into the strategic issue with me. General Flynn has - had back then - knowledge that obliterates the power of The Cabal. Need a reminder? Listen again to this February 1, 2017, Press Conference.

https://t.co/AiSMhDfRmP
14) In all the tacticall brouhaha, it seems no one ever asks the strategic question. Why was Flynn taken out, back then? Why is he so dangerous today? Knowing where the skeletons are buried is but a weak tactical flash. His real danger is strategic, not tactical.
15) From the moment the Deep State took Flynn out of his rightful position as National Security Advisor, my theory shifted. It went from Trump Might Be Right, to Flynn is 100% Innocent.

Deep State is guilty. Flynn is innocent.

That's what guided me in those dark days.
16) Count it up so far.

1) Trump Might Be Right
2) Flynn is 100% Innocent

And then there's General Thomas McInerney. Could it be? Might he too be right?
17) Here's a single point. Martial Law. Add the Insurrection Act. Could it be that General Mac is right? If you ask @KateScopelliti, you'll feel her anger and fury. She'll tell you General Mac is right. Call down Martial Law now, she says, and address the treason in America.
18) In yesterday's work I couldn't help but notice, and comment on that fact that General Mac keeps calling out treason. Treason, treason, treason. He sees it everywhere. Oh, what a quack. Or...maybe, he might be right.
19) Turn now to the question of debate itself. It hold underlying, a fundamental principle. You might be right. Yes, I disagree with you now, but you might be right, I might be wrong. That theory, your opponent might be right, is the key to honest debate.
20) If you're 100% sure your opponent is wrong, then step away. Do not debate. A true debate requires my theory, the other guy might be right. If you can't imagine that, then don't debate. Focus your energy elsewhere. Don't debate.
21) Here's another example. Trump's tweets are offensive, but...blah, blah, blah. No! No, no, no! You may be offended, and I'm okay with that. But there's an error in your theory. You think you should judge his tweets by yours, or by normal standards. Hogwash.
22) 24 hours a day, Trump is fighting a war. His tweets are one of the most important strategic assets he has in fighting that war. If you wish to read his tweets rightly, my theory is required. Maybe Trump was right. That is, maybe he SHOULD have tweeted EXACTLY what he did.
23) The principle is general. Why would you listen to anyone at all speak, if there was NO possibility he might be right?

It may be a definition of listening that, when NOT speaking, you imagine that the speaker might be right. I'm of this hard school. Let me illustrate.
24) If you and I are on the phone, and you're speaking and I'm silently but attentively listening, you may be assured I'm imagining that you might be right. If I can not imagine that, I'll interrupt you, and tell you, "I can't hear you right now. You're not cutting through."
25) So I propose that the very act of listening itself demands the presumption of possible rightness. I like that!

The Presumption of Possible Rightness

If there is NO such presumption, why listen at all? Or, why pretend to listen when you're not?
26) As we turn back to finishing General Mac's interview, it is precisely that assumption, the presumption that he might be right which must guide us.

Be back in a bit...
27) Let me say it at the big picture level. General McInerney might be right. Our corrupted government might require all the steps we've logged from his guidance, in order to restore America's governing integrity.

He might be right.

Not From Without, From Within

We'll discuss Neon Revolt's 3 articles below. If you haven't, you should read them now. Before we turn to them, I'll offer my own thoughts about this terrible

2) Neon Revolt has forced a new perception. He has forced me to walk around a beloved topic of mine, of ours, and has forced me to look at it from its hellacious dark side. It's shadow. The topic is our reawakening as a nation of patriots. The slumbering giant slumbers no more.

3) From 2016 until this day, every time I've seen that thought cross my mind's view screen, I have smiled. And I have believed in us, in U.S. This is the sunny side of the street. A new day in America. And I have been grateful, so grateful to our great leader. And not shy either.

4) I will share that it was a dark shadow that my patriotism reemerged from. When I announced my Trump support in social media - Facebook back then - the vicious attack I came under hardened my heart. The lost of consulting revenue enraged my soul. It wasn't right.

5) It was a David Farragut moment for me, damn the torpedoes. I could never have imagined the type of attack I came under during that fateful year. It was this shadow, this darkness of evil that was there at the very moment of my own political awakening.

Excited to be able to share this comprehensive review on the many ways that climate change is increasing bushfire risk in southeast Australia, just published in @CommsEarth.

Thread 👇 describing what we found:

[paper is open

This was a huge collaborative effort across climate and fire science experts, including from @ClimateExtremes and @BushfireHub, who came together following the #BlackSummer disaster in Australia.

Our review focuses on forest fires in southeast Australia (NSW + ACT + Victoria).


The #BlackSummer fires were unprecedented:

*In their scale (23% of all southeast Australia forests were burnt)

*In their power (for every month of the spring and summer seasons), and

*In the number of fires that developed into extreme pyroconvective events


Climate in SE Australia in 2019 was also the hottest and driest on record.

Regional warming is part of human-caused global warming trend.

Dry conditions were part of a 3-year drought with consecutive winter rain failures. Long-term winter drying trend appears to be emerging.


Dry years in southeast Australia are usually also hot, (and wet years are usually cool), due to land-atmosphere feedbacks.

And years of large bushfires in southeast Australia have clustered in the hot-&-dry quadrant of historical climate conditions

@TheNewEuropean Sorry @TheNewEuropean You are doing exactly what you accuse the BBC News etc of - you have allowed May Freedom to continue Lying with out challange

She knew there had been illegalities in the Referendum

when she wrote and signed her Article 50 Letter

2/ @TheNewEuropean Court Case High Court Wilson v May Feb 2019 Sir James Eadie QC for May - the Prime Minister was aware of illegalities but decided to ignore them and proceed -

He also made it clear that the Referendum was "unlawful"

3/ @TheNewEuropean please if you are to go over Brexit 5 years and you should then at least involve people who watched with intelligence the Lies and misinformation by the MPs

4/ @TheNewEuropean July 2018 just after May in the above Article 50 episode where she knew of illegalities - she rushed to beat the Electoral Commission Report to Parliament - she had been informed by the E-C.
she knew of illegalities and decided to ignore

What does that say

5/ @TheNewEuropean The Electoral Commission Report found Vote Leave had Broken the Law -- reported that there were Serious offences committed that they referred to the Met Police - passed to Crown Prosecution 12 months ago

This week marks 12 months since Josephine Cashman supplied Andrew Bolt with a letter falsely attributed to a Yolngu lawman that Bolt published via NewsCorp on Jan 26 as parcel of his persecution of Bruce Pascoe. Cashman & Bolt still haven’t provided a satisfactory explanation

Terry Yumbulul didn’t write the letter and didn’t agree with its content. He said so himself in a video published the next day https://t.co/IJ6ricZeRi and in a written statement published later the same day


The weird thing was, it soon emerged that large sections of the letter had been cribbed from other sources. Weird because as a Yolngu lawman, Terry didn’t need to borrow his knowledge from unrelated, alternate sources ... pretty much verbatim

The fallout was swift. Bolt was compelled to do a correction on his column and Cashman was just as swiftly dumped from her position of the Morrison government’s Senior Advisory Group for an Indigenous Voice to Government

There was no apology from either of them or from NewsCorp tho, and with the assistance of Sky News After Dark they desperately attempted to obfuscate the reality that everybody involved had been caught out and left red faced

1/ So here is a thread on how I turned $32,000 into $1.2m and back to pretty much zero (once taxes are paid).

Just note, I am not bitter or salty in any way at all, the last 2 years have been an amazing ride - travelled the world, been wealthy, been poor.

2/ Dec '16, my advertising agency folded, I had a little bit of money left and I put $32k into Bitcoin and Ether. As it started to go up I diversified into everything, Monero, Dash, this that, any crap - even Ripplecoin. Everything just kept going up.

3/ By March I think I had around $300k and $500k by the summer. I used to take 25% out but towards the end of the summer I got greedy and put it all back in and by December it was $1.2m.

4/ Thinking I was an absolute genius I decided to start a bunch of businesses. As silly as it sounds I had this goal of making $5m as I wanted to buy Bedford Town Football Club and get them in the league, and as Crypto was going up forever I needed 6 months.

5/ So:
- Trading (income 1)
- Podcast (income 2)
- Mining (income 3)
- Mining pool (income 4)
- Consulting (income 5)

Yes - all of the above as a one-man army :)

In the Hindu Epic Mahabharata, Ashwatthama or Drauni is the son of Dronacharya and the grandson of the Bharadwaj Rishi. Ashwatthama was a Maharathi who fought alongside the Kauravas against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War.


According to the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama means the sacred sound associated with the sound of a horse. He was given the name Ashwatthama because when he was born, he cried like a horse.

Here are some interesting facts about Ashwatthama.

- Ashwathama is one of the Ashta Chiranjeevi, Eight Immortals. Ashwatthama was born with a jewel on his forehead, giving him power over all living beings lower than humans. The jewel protected him from hunger, thirst, and fatigue.


- His strength is almost equal to Arjuna’s, especially in archery. Among the Kuru princes, he was good friends with Duryodhan, the eldest son of Dhritarashtra. They both have jealousy towards the Pandavas.


Duryodhan felt that Yudhisthir was his obstacle in inheriting the throne of Hastinapur, while Arjun’s talent made Ashwatthama jealous because he felt that his father’s love had been divided. After all, Arjuna was Drona’s favourite student.

one of the things i like about Batman is that it's fundamentally about being orphaned, and being an orphan — how this guy stays tethered to the world in his own weird, abstract, extrajudicial way when he feels that his link to it has been violently severed

Batman does this by permanently recapitulating his own trauma: solving crimes for other people, protecting them. But that's actually just the beginning; he also recapitulates his own experience of orphanness by essentially raising several orphans

Dick is an orphan in the traditional sense: dead parents. Batman sees it happen. Jason, less so: missing dad, known mom who eventually dies. Tim, even less so: parents are around a while, and involved, before both dying. Carrie, even less than that: negligent parents.

Steph: evil father, who openly works against her. And then there's Damian, whose parents are both alive and yet both have identities that totally obliterate their role as his parents. He doesn't relate to them as a mother and father; he can't, and neither can they.

In all these different cases, Batman tries all these different ways of making orphanness for them not what it was for him: Either by trying to teach them the (arguably poor) coping skills early that he learned over a very long time, or by literally legally adopting them, etc.

Spent a quaint half hour in a cafe listening to a guy yell at his dad after his dad said that the women Trump molested wanted it: "Dad, that's like saying the Jews who died in the Holocaust were asking for it!" ENJOY YOUR TERRIBLE FAMILIES THIS WEEK!

"Mom, has a man ever touched you without your consent?"
"Of course."
"Did you report it?"
"No."
"Dad, your WIFE has been through this!"

Dad was unmoved and told the guy to stop arguing with him.

At this point we learned the boy child has allergies.

I forgot to remark upon the presence of the very cute grandson, who was very small and gave not one shit about the yelling. I believe a sister or aunt was present and feeling very stressed. I wanted to hand her a Xanax or seven.

It was really hard to not jump in and say, "Sounds like you guys are going to have a fun meal tomorrow!" so they could unite in hatred against me, the outsider, and stop squabbling. Instead I exchanged glances with a nearby fellow lady patron, who also emotionally ate a cookie.

Anyway, I want to thank the random family for yelling about rape and the Holocaust in an Israeli cafe in the US of A today because it reminded me that while this country isn't the greatest, it is inevitably my stupid favorite and I am never, ever bored.
