Are You Using #Gaslight Correctly? One #rule of thumb can help determine whether the word is being diluted.

source: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/04/are-you-using-gaslight-correctly/629522/

A good rule of thumb in testing whether the word is being used correctly is to ask yourself if the supposed gaslighter is in a position of power. If not, it’s difficult to imagine a situation where gaslighting is really happening—just like it’s difficult to imagine Black Lives Matter activists, who are dedicated to acting on behalf of the powerless and vulnerable, engaging in gaslighting the American public. Unless it’s serving the interests of the #powerful, gaslighting just doesn’t ring true. I wanted to express that idea in this Thursday clue: “Methodically manipulate someone with less power into questioning their own perception of reality.”

What took them so long? New York Times, Guardian finally call for Assange’s freedom

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/11/29/pers-n29.html

The editors of the #Guardian, #NYTimes etc. finally speak up for #JulianAssange -- weasel words and 10 years late. Ten years after the Guardian made #public #WikiLeaks' #secret #password and launched a #campaign of #vilification against a #truthteller. The #movement in #Assange’s #defense must be based on the #international #working-class, a #force more #powerful than all of the #governments, #intelligence-agencies and #corporations combined.

The "bi-pole / multi-pole" New #World Order is the doing of the Judeo-Anglo-American Empire's #elites, planned at #Davos, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, etc, announced by World Economic Forum, #orchestrated by the world's most #wealthy & #powerful individuals, to their benefit, & brought into being by secret societies such as #Masons & #Jesuits, intel agencies & less-secret societies like the #WEF's "Young Global Leaders," etc.

Complete #disenfranchisement of the people of the West, making circumstances considerably worse for all but the wealthiest #Westerners.

“It is very bad in America to be right too early,” writes @sarahkendzior. “It is considered a sin in journalism to tell the public what you have learned in real time...mostly because it destroys plausible deniability for the corrupt and powerful.”

In northern Arkansas there is a town called Eureka Springs, where no streets meet at a right angle. The town is built into the bedrock, captive to ancient geology, its buildings carved into curving cliffs and its trees erupting through layers of sloping sidewalks. There are no traffic lights in Eureka Springs because there is no clear way to turn, no bearings to get, no center to hold. You can enter the ground floor of a building and walk a straight line out the back door only to discover you have just left that side’s fifth floor. The topography dictates your journey: renames it, replaces it. It’s reassuring in this day and age, such reliable disorientation. No one comes to Eureka Springs for certainty anyway. They come for the magic and the ghosts.

Before the pandemic hit, every December my family would drive from St. Louis, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas, to celebrate Christmas with my sister and her family. Every year we would stop in Arkansas and spend a night in Eureka Springs. The official reason was to break up the ten-hour drive, but the real reason was to stay at the Crescent Hotel, and the reason we wanted to stay at the Crescent Hotel was that it’s haunted. This is not our opinion, but the hotel’s calling card. Since 1886, the Crescent has loomed over Eureka Springs, attracting travelers seeking miracle cures in the town’s waters, which are said to possess magical healing powers. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the famous and infamous passed through as the Ozarks became a gangsters’ paradise and a politicians’ retreat. The hotel changed hands and identities: a luxury resort, a women’s conservatory, a junior college. Then the Great Depression hit and it became a place where people literally died of false hope.

A quotation by Wilhoit, Frank

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

Frank Wilhoit (contemp.) American composer and software architect
