Transit Revolutionary: How Morrell Foreshadowed Elon Musk

Tesla is named after the wrong guy. Its CEO clearly sounds just like the infamous Morrell.

About a year after opening up shop, federal investigators came banging on Morrell’s door in February 1908 to arrest him for using the U.S. mail to defraud; after being tipped off by disgruntled investors, investigators determined Morrell was running a massive airship racket. As he was hauled off to jail, Morrell shouted to a San Francisco Examiner reporter he was going to “revolutionize the methods of transportation of the universe.”

The inside of a courtroom became a familiar place for Morrell as he was hit again and again with fraud charges. But each time, he wriggled out of them and returned to his beloved airship.

Doesn’t “revolutionize the methods of transportation of the universe” sound familiar?

In spite of his massive failure, Morrell was undeterred. “I still believe that I had solved the problem of aerial navigation,” he said.

He hadn’t.

Ouch. So familiar.

And what about those fools now dumping money into a Cybertruck fiasco?

Morrell’s fiance rushed to his defense. Only identified as Miss A. Kern from San Francisco, the Tribune said she blamed “disobedience to the orders of Morrell” for the crash. According to National Airship Company employees, the woman had been quietly bankrolling Morrell’s folly for the past two years. In fact, she’d blown through $70,000 of her inheritance on his passion project and fell in love with the charismatic inventor along the way.

They demand obedience to charisma, even after catastrophic failure.

German AfD Nazi Party Caught Illegally Naturalizing Russians

True Germans in East Berlin absolutely hate Putin. Their Soviet-built WWII memorials and museums, commemorating veterans, even spell it out by prominently displaying Ukrainian flags and some even describing Putin as a modern-day Hitler.

Since 24 February 2022, only the Ukrainian flag has been raised in front of the museum, not the Belarusian, German, Russian and Ukrainian flags as before. This is a sign that the museum’s employees continue to condemn the Russian Federation’s war of aggression against Ukraine in the strongest possible terms. […] The Russian government is currently misusing the history of the Second World War for its war propaganda. The museum is strictly opposed to such instrumentalisation.

It should come as no surprise then that German courts are not having it when the modern Nazi party in Germany (AfD) is illegally bringing Putin’s henchmen into their government.

AfD employee obtained German passport fraudulently a court has confirmed: The former employee of an AfD member of the Bundestag has lost his German citizenship. According to SPIEGEL information, he is said to have fraudulently deceived the authorities during his naturalization process.

On a related note, Putin’s Dresden-based job in the KGB during the 1980s was to grow AfD-like political factions (even masked as football athletic clubs), to destabilize political systems in the West.

…investigation led to the arrest and indictment of five former Stasi counterterrorism officers for conspiring with the group to bomb a major U.S. army base in Ramstein in southwest Germany in 1981 and attempting to kill a U.S. general. …they would hand Putin and his colleagues a list. Somehow, this list would later end up with an agent in the West, and the requested weapons would be dropped in a secret location….

Perhaps also interesting is Putin’s other work at this time 1) sowing anti-Israel sentiment in Arab communities 2) training and growing Palestinian terror groups.

Nazi Porn X Twitter “Worst Performing Business in History”

Have you heard the news?

Elon Musk is the “most prolific liar in the history of American business”

Saying Hitler’s constant lies ruined Germany, or that Elon Musk’s apartheid-promoting family ruined South Africa, should be self-evident. The fact that a rotten apple has fallen not far from its tree-of-hate, isn’t really shocking to anyone who understands the science of Newton’s gravity or Hume’s ethics.

However, some people still dwell on trying to make sense of the fraudulent “business” logic of such value-destroying fascists, as if abrupt awful decisions for humanity are supposed to make sense on any normal profit ledger.

“Which of the following three activities are you most likely to be fired from your job in media? One: you start calling your assistant juggles. Two: you bring your mushroom chocolates to work and put them in the refrigerator with your name on it, saying do not touch property of you. Or three, you advertise on Twitter? What is a bigger risk to your career? I didn’t know what was going to be next to Nazi porn. Right. That’s not going to be a good defense.”

Running Twitter (especially Black Twitter) into the ground — biggest loss of revenue in history — makes sense not at all as a business decision, but rather as information warfare.

…no company over $1 billion in revenue has ever lost 60% of its revenues in a 12 month period in a non-war period. I don’t think that’s ever happened. Twitter is literally the worst-performing business in history since a change in ownership.

Think of it like apartheid-born white nationalists firing half-million dollar hellfire missiles into Black neighborhoods. They are intentionally and literally blowing up money, throwing it away as a militarized defense project.

Does X Twitter therefore make any business sense, while it’s being driven for race war preparations?

No, it only makes race war sense — the sunk cost of taking control of communications to spread disinformation and worse. Imagine telling an African coup leader that their radio and TV takeover plans don’t seem profitable. It’s like when Hitler illegally poured money into 1933 Luftwaffe bomber development while he claimed to be delivering “scientific research” for civic prosperity.

Bad profit numbers?

Drain on the economy?

Yes, a planned business failure and political plan designed to prepare sycophantile followers with technology to enable killing a race they hate. They are optimizing around illegitimate gross transfers of wealth.

Amon Goeth found causes for anger everywhere he looked. Killing the best engineers doesn’t make sense to anyone stuck in a “business” context, because they fail to heed even the loudest and most aggressive signals from Elon Musk about preparing for race war.

Perhaps Walt Disney in the 1940s explained best how to understand the Musk family’s long time “technoking” aspirations?

Walt Disney on the appropriate reaction to Elon Musk

When Elon Musk says, “We ist der white people in a race”,
We HEIL! (phhht!) HEIL! (phhht!)
Right in Elon Musk’s face!
“Not to love technoking is a great disgrace”,
So we HEIL! (phhht!) HEIL! (phhht!)
Right in Elon Musk’s face!

Those of us who study history are condemned to watch it repeat.

Discovery of 14th Century BCE Shipwreck Proves Ancient Navigation of Open Seas

The narrative has been that ancient ships hugged shoreline to avoid open seas, because they couldn’t navigate. This new shipwreck discovery near Israel helps prove navigation goes back thousands of years.

A 3,300-year-old ship has been discovered at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, making it one of the oldest shipwrecks ever discovered and rewriting our understanding of sailing in the ancient world, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority.

The vessel is estimated to be from the 13th or 14th century BCE, the authority said in a statement. It was discovered 90 kilometers (around 56 miles) from the shore, in waters 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) deep, with hundreds of intact jars still on board, the statement added.
