Civilization Doomed

Comparing Minneapolis to Maya City....in terms of a collapse.

The Maya civilization, one of the most advanced pre-Columbian societies in the Americas, experienced a significant decline known as the "Classic Maya collapse."

This occurred between 750 and 950 AD. 

This was NOT a sudden, empire-wide catastrophe.  It started as a gradual process.....where crappy situations occurred over decades or centuries. 

Populations plummeted.  Monumental architecture halted.  Commerce failed. 

The Maya people didn't vanish....they just kinda walked away.

The collapse is often described as a "hell-hole" scenario in the sense that once-prosperous cities became uninhabitable due to intertwined environmental, social, and political crises, leading to mass out-migration. 

I look at Minneapolis and would suggest within a decade....the population of the city will go from 429,000....to around 380,000.

Some will simply leave the city, but stay within the state....finding rural surroundings to be safe.

The population of the Somalis in Minneapolis?  I'll go and suggest that they increase, the household income level of the city (presently at $80k per household)....without federal fraud funding....will slide to $65k.  

Detroit-status?  Yeah....that's the target.

By 2046?  The population is likely to hit near near 250k.  

Like the Mayan civilization...it's doomed. 

Four Realities

 1.  You get in life a few opportunities, and a few consequences. The trick is...maximize every single opportunity,  and minimize every single consequence.  Don't be stupid to show up to a protest, with a loaded gun, and think the police will overlook your stupidity.

2.  After pondering over the Minneapolis spiral....I've come to a odd theory.

When Bush/Clinton/Bush II/Obama kept the door open for legit Somalis to enter with 'papers/visas'....eventually becoming citizens.  I suspect that around 100k to 200k illegal Somalis entered, and took up the papers/visas of those who grew older, and died. 

I suspect the state AG and Governor both are aware of this, and that some of the vast 'new' (alive) illegals....are US citizens, and listed as 90 to 120 years old.....and likely voting in state/national elections.

3.  Maybe just a crazy idea....but I think there are probably 40 'children' of Epstein....all approaching 15 to 35 years old, and on some path to be mayors, governors, etc.

4.  If I were a alien....having traveled 10 years to visit Earth....with all the crap going on...I'd never want to leave.

Spiral of Epstein Stuff Never Ends

 I spent around two hours this past weekend....previewing the Epstein matter, and pictures/documents released. Three observations:

1.  There's one final batch of pictures/video/documents to be reviewed and released.  They aren't saying the timeline...but it won't be in Feb or Mar. Things getting worse?  Maybe.

2.  This  whole discussion on pedophilia?  It's a curious thing....some folks show up and they have a different category which doesn't fit with others.

There are five categories:

Pedophilia: Primary sexual attraction to prepubescent children, typically under 11-13 years old (before puberty). 

Infantophilia (or Nepiophilia): A subtype of pedophilia involving attraction to very young children, usually infants and toddlers under 5-6 years old. 

Hebephilia: Attraction to pubescent children, roughly ages 11-14, during early puberty. This is sometimes proposed as a distinct category or combined with pedophilia as "pedohebephilia." 

Ephebophilia: Attraction to older adolescents, typically 15-16 years old, who are post-pubescent but still minors. 

Pedohebephilia: Category for those attracted to both prepubescent and pubescent children (under 11 and 11-14). 

All of this is flat-out illegal, but if you got dragged in for some situation with a 15/16-year old....probably a quarter of jury members might not condemn too much.

My question....where did Epstein find the hundreds of victims, and keep them under wraps?

3.  There seems to be a number of women who were into this Epstein business, and you have to wonder.....just how deep into perverted  stuff they went. 

AI Chatter

 I noticed this AM....this story:

"Google CEO says that they don’t fully understand their own AI system after it started doing things it wasn’t programmed to do such as teaching itself an entire foreign language it was not asked to do."

I pondered upon this.

Why did the  system just invent a 'learn-details' requirement?  I'm of the mind....once it mandated it...it probably took less than 10 minutes to learn all of the foreign language

If the system mandated that learning the repair instructions of all Ford trucks made since 1936?  It would sequence the situation...find the manuals  on-line, and probably add this capability in an hour (while doing 15,000 other requirements).

So I come to three observations:

1.   Just guessing....as they add more 'cloud-capability' and data-storage...AI is going to take on 50,000 tasks per day, and go way beyond the mandated tasks.  The data-gain in the next five years?  Probably whatever you expected to be done by 2060...will be completed by 2035.

2.  If you cut loose the funds and built a dozen unmanned subs....AI would map out the globe in a matter of five years. 

3.  We might reach a point where AI was a better stock-predictor than some idiot from the Business Channel.

Consequences Commentary

I sat this AM, and noted:  "Target is closing 9 stores in Democrat-run areas like New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland, citing retail theft and organized crime that made stores unsafe and unsustainable."

As someone commented....this is likely phase one, and in 60 days...there's likely to be a phase two with 20 additional stores.  By late summer....a likely phase three with forty more stores.

So I'm making a prediction of consequences:

1.  Survival of most stores like Target will revolve around the idea of you entering one single point of the store....flashing a credit card, and your entry is logged to that card being charged for all items in the cart at the end.  Attempt to skip or not-play?  You get denied entry.

2.  Other stores will go this route by the end of 2026.

3. A majority of voters will wake up and demand real jail-time for theft/shop-lifting....like six months in a county jail.  This will expand construction of warehouse-operations that offer jail-accommodations.

4.  By the end of 2028...within a 20-mile circle of where you live....at least 40-odd empty buildings will stand.  Former Wal-Marts, or Target or Piggly Wiggly shops. All left to decay because of thefft.

Six Humble Thoughts Over Insurgencies

 I spent a fair amount of my 'pondering-time' of the past week...looking over insurgencies in general.  I limited to US events, but came to realize....across the globe...since 2000...there are hundreds of insurgency operations and put-down events.  So six observations:

First, most insurgency operations start off 'small' (limited) and you can easily note that if some official or Governor does not start reacting...it grows over a very quick period of time (say a week).

Second, martyr victims are a key note of the success of any given insurgency.

Third, outside manipulation (planning) since the 1990s....is a key part of insurgency creation and sustainment.

Fourth, in most cases....fed-help was not called upon...until you get to the  past 30-odd years.

Fifth, of the 3 lists I made....insurgencies since 1800....if I had really opened up every  single event within the US....I think I could have noted more than 300 insurgency operations.  It is fairly common.

Sixth and final....just my humble belief...around 80-percent of the start-up's of insurgency...have a legit reason to exist, and the authorities refused to step in and clean  up the mess (early on).

Ten Examples In The US Of Insurgencies Since 2000

I didn't really think I could come up with ten....but at thirty....I just stopped counting.

1. Cincinnati Riots (April 2001, Cincinnati, Ohio): Civil unrest sparked by the police shooting of a unarmed Black teenager Timothy Thomas, leading to widespread protests, looting, and violence over four days. Ohio National Guard was called in to assist local police in restoring order. 

2.  Occupy Wall Street Protests (September–November 2011, New York City and nationwide): Nationwide movement against economic inequality, with encampments leading to clashes with police in multiple cities. Local police departments, including NYPD, handled evictions and arrests; no federal or National Guard involvement. 

3.  Bundy Ranch Standoff (April 2014, Bunkerville, Nevada): Armed confrontation between rancher Cliven Bundy, supporters, and federal Bureau of Land Management agents over grazing fees. Federal agents stood down to avoid violence; FBI later conducted arrests without major deployment. 

4.  Ferguson Unrest (August 2014–August 2015, Ferguson, Missouri): Protests and riots following the police shooting of Michael Brown, escalating into national Black Lives Matter movement. Missouri National Guard was deployed to support local police. 

5.  Baltimore Riots (April 2015, Baltimore, Maryland): Uprising after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, involving looting and arson. Maryland National Guard was activated to quell the violence. 

6.  Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Occupation (January–February 2016, Harney County, Oregon): Armed takeover by militia groups protesting federal land policies. FBI and Oregon State Police conducted a siege, leading to arrests and one death. 

7.  Standing Rock Protests (April 2016–February 2017, Cannon Ball, North Dakota): Occupation against the Dakota Access Pipeline by Native American tribes and allies, with clashes over environmental and treaty rights. North Dakota National Guard and multi-state law enforcement were deployed to clear the camps. 

8.  Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally (August 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia): Violent clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters, resulting in one death. Virginia National Guard was placed on standby and assisted local police. 

9.  George Floyd Protests (May–June 2020, nationwide, focused on Minneapolis, Minnesota): Massive uprising against police brutality after George Floyd's murder, with riots in multiple cities. Minnesota National Guard and federal agents were deployed in various locations. 

10.  United States Capitol Attack (January 6, 2021, Washington, D.C.): Insurrection by supporters of President Trump attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. U.S. Capitol Police, D.C. National Guard, and FBI responded to regain control.
