Night Of The Living Dead Part II: Whoever Can Talk To The Dead Can Join Them

It's just a matter of time before people get sick of scams and con artists now. I can feel it - they're starting to pay attention - like they've reached Peak Bullshit Hour:

An Arizona man feigning to suffer from Down syndrome tricked a series of female caregivers into bathing him and changing his diaper, according to investigators who have filed felony sex abuse and fraud charges against the creepy scamster.

If I'm right - and Lord help us if I am - then we've got a real show heading our way.

I'm Starting To Feel My Power - Just As Predicted - So All The Psychics Must Die

It's a bit unnerving how people like, and - at the very least - accept madness, in certain contexts, but not others. For instance, a YUUUUUGE problem seen with President Trump, for many people on the Left, is how he mixes fantasy and reality. But, when they enter the NewAge context, not only has it always been status quo on the Left to mix fantasy and reality, but it's protected and expected:

A factchecker goes to psychic school: can you predict what happens next? For six months I attempted to temper my skepticism and tap into my ‘goddess roots’, where fantasy and reality are interchangeable

So, which do you think came first, in America: the Left making fantasy and reality interchangeable - or Trump? And, doesn't that mean lying was already baked-in there, too? And isn't the Left helping the con artists openly conduct their crimes - on almost every street corner across the country - as the Left hated about Trump? 

Oh boy. I think, at this point, if anyone can see the future, I can - and it's not pretty.

We're Now Getting Too Busy Living The Good Life To Ever Know What's Cracking

Whoa - I had no idea there was once a book called "Bonesetting, Chiropractic, and Cultism" - but (once again proving ignorance isn't bliss) I guess there was:

When I published by book Bonesetting, Chiropractic, and Cultism in 1963, one chapter was devoted to “Chiropractic Technique Wars.” Dozens of different chiropractic techniques were being used by chiropractors who claimed that their method of adjusting...was the most effective way to cure disease...The Palmer School of Chiropractic,...was teaching the H.I.O. (hole-in-one) technique,...B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, eventually theorized that...it was only necessary to adjust the atlas... ─ a departure from the revelations of D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, who claimed that he had cured deafness and heart disease by adjusting a thoracic vertebra.

So get that: the founder, developer, and school, all disagreed on what they were supposed to be experts on, and people bought it. Still buy it. Who says otherwise?

Cultism is a trip.

If I Can Get It Cooked With Pork (In Some Sweet And Sour Sauce) All The Better

I can hear the criticism in America already, but - when it comes to the fight against cultism - I really don't care about criticism from our arrogantly ignorant anymore:

“It is not mistreatment. What China is doing is to establish professional training centers, educational centers. If you do not say it’s the best way, maybe it’s the necessary way to deal with Islamic or religious extremism, because the West has failed in doing so, in dealing with religious Islamic extremism. Look at Belgium, look at Paris, look at some other European countries. You have failed.”

If the U.S. would make even a *token* gesture to fight cult nonsense, I might be able to reconsider. But - under the circumstances - even after massive cases of child rape? No, China wins this one - hands down - because we have FAILED.

CNN stays so cute:

CNN’s Kirsten Powers: Trump’s Base Is in Fox News ‘Alternative Universe’ Where Puerto Rico Never Happened

See, a better (AKA more honest) headline would've looked like this:

"CNN’s Kirsten Powers: Trump’s Base Is in Fox News ‘Alternative Universe’ Where Puerto Rico Never Happened Because They're Still Following The Even Bigger Bombshell Story Of A Delusional Press That's Been Out To Get The President In Any Way They Can Since Election Day - When We All Saw Them Crying Just Because He Won And How They've Been Continually Losing Sight Of Their Mission Since Then - AND THEY WON'T TALK ABOUT IT

That's the story a "real" reporter, at "serious" news operation, would be covering.

Trump Didn't Take Us Down A Road Of UnReason (We're Already "On The Path")

It's bad when I can read a paranormal headline like this, and know it's not a joke:

Former Clinton Aide on Coons: We Would Have Been ‘Better off if the Witch Had Won’

But it's absolutely horrible - when I don't even know what election they're talking about - because that stupid reference could be about so many women in politics.

Tell Me One More Time About How NewAge Is Harmless And Definitely Not A Cult

Here's what was written about Google's little post-election seance:

The tone of this meeting is that of mourning but the underlying stance is adversarial.

And about GOOP being called out for exploiting it's customers:

“Are there learnings you’ve had from the flak that you’ve gotten?” Amoruso asked. 

Paltrow described “a lack of willingness to step into who I am ... Going into a hole is exactly the opposite of the lesson.” 

“The lesson,” she added, “is to energetically cultivate, ‘fuck you.’”

That's a lot of hostility, and unreasonableness, from a yoga and meditation crowd. I would have thought years of "practice" would've healed that by now.

Dr. Oz, Please, Keep Me Out Of The Workplace (I'm Just Not Religious Enough)

When people are weird at work, but can't see they're being weird, how do you reason with them? I've been dealing with this question, offline and on, for years:

What’s noteworthy here isn’t that everything said in the meeting is negative...but that, from the top down, the entire company takes it for granted its employees are in mourning over the results of the election. The subtext of all of this is clearly that the wrong person won and everyone is right to be anxious and upset. Google turns out to be exactly the narrow, progressive club that former engineer James Damore said they were last year.

It’s a bit difficult to see how a company which is such a partisan monoculture could possibly take care not to abuse its power to step on the people (about half of the country) who it thinks are wrong and possibly even dangerous. The tone of this meeting is that of mourning but the underlying stance is adversarial. Is it really possible this doesn’t have any real-world outcomes in Google’s work?

You can't get any peace. You're more likely to find Pat Robertson and a Christian prophetess are both making demands of the same hurricane, in a single week, than that. Which is a pretty remarkable occurrence for a pretty remarkable power. 

But not as remarkable as celebrities thinking they get credibility back by talking to disgraced physicians. I don't know how that supposedly works. It doesn't add up. None of this stuff adds up now, except for the part where you look down and think:

This Blog Is Over A Decade Old (But Only Now Do They Decide This Is Important)

Took 'em long enough:

A Culture of Standards Matters - Perhaps the most dangerous effect of the alternative medicine movement has been an erosion of the culture of dedication to science and standards within medicine. This has to change.
