Model vs reality  [Economic models are about economic relations among agents, which is only a small part of social relations. So naturally such models don't represent reality but only the aspects they model. This is the difference between the approach of conventional economics and that of economic sociology, economic anthropology, cognitive science, and much of heterodox economics.]

  1. The "restrict act " will give the US government extraordinary powers. It's like the patriot act for the internet.


    My view is this " leak " regarding the Ukraine war. Is a controlled leak by the intelligence community in order to get the " restrict act " approved.


    It's just like when they sent Anthrax to those who wouldn't pass the patriot act to push it through. Of course the " restrict act " will be used to fight an into war against Americans.


    Larry Johnson view on the " leak " explains why he thinks it was beyond doubt an intelligence community controlled leak.

  2. What did they leak? That US troops are in Ukraine?

    So what? Democrats want US troops in Ukraine… so what’s the problem?

    They disclosed they are doing what their own people want them to do?

    So what…

  5. " You can thank the MSM for exposing the leaker. "


    That's what they want you to believe. That the Washington Post in no time at all found out who the leaker was before the FBI.


    The Washington Post FFS.


    For me it was a controlled intelligence community leak.
