Exploits 1
Exploits. Ways we are individually and collectively scammed, cheated and fooled by tricks and traps.
The most effective of these are the very things people don’t realize are exploitative, harassment laws, divorce laws, inflation, stagflation, immigrants, whiners whining for “reparations,” and on and on. Every exploit that can be used, is used.
Then there are the arbitrary religious edicts, ideas about stuff floating down and hitting us from space, the black hole nonsense, ineffective medicine touted as the only solution, fluoride- and petroleum- based drugs that contribute to the killing of 1-2 million every 10 years in the U.S., if not more.
Captive Audience
Wherever you have a captive audience, it will be exploited.
With central banking, never truly “independent,” you permit the scourge of inflation.
Sadly, the majority does not understand this swindle, blaming inflation on “workers making outrageous demands,” and other foolishness. Lack of education on the financial system makes this exploit trivial, plus the fact that we’re coerced into using fiat money by governments.
Perhaps the system could work if money were issued on an as-needed basis, as long as it were reclaimed and destroyed, as needed, when demands for currency declined. That would demand complete honesty, and continued complete honesty, generation after generation, so it could never happen.
Government exploits its ability to create endless debt to finance its endless follies.
Any monopoly has a captive audience, and therefore an exploited audience, one of the reasons monopolies are despised.
“State Secrets”
Government exploits “national interest” and “state secret” laws, as in the case where the records of the Kennedy assassination were sealed for 50 years. Then, routinely, when and if these records are released, “fulfilling the promise!” they are heavily redacted.
No legitimate government can be permitted “state secrets,” as we learned back in The New Logic.
Planned Destruction
There are some excellent researchers cropping up and discovering that many of the very old, historic buildings, are being destroyed, around the world. This is said to be a cover-up, to conceal the advanced technology used to construct these old marvels.
But even perfectly serviceable modern buildings are being torn down before their time, particularly in city centers, where they should be refurbished. The 1947 Mapes Hotel in Reno is a good example of an historic building that was inexplicably razed. Why wasn’t it given heritage/protected status? It was, at one time, a very posh establishment in the middle of town. Instead, it could have been converted to low/middle income housing, as should happen to all older residential buildings as they progress through their life cycle.

What’s really grating is the nonsense over old early 20th century wooden shacks, those decrepit houses, in the middle of a downtown. Those will rally the harpies, nimbys and SJWs in force when they need to be torn down. You’ll hear their shrill shrieks. “Historic site!” “Convert it to a monument!”
Of course, this whole ruse is planned, to keep rents and house prices high.
All of these things need a rationalization and a fake explanation of course (most exploits do).
So they trot out this very powerful claim: Doesn’t meet modern earthquake standards. There are more, like, Costs too much to refurbish. Of course this is all selective, depending on the pull the land owner has, or who they want to punish.
Yet... yet... somehow Millennium Tower in San Francisco is just fine with the Frisco jerks.
If there is a major quake, it will fail, yet hardly a peep. And actually, it has already failed, in multiple ways, with sinks backing up, flooding, cracked walls and floors, windows falling out onto the street, heaving sidewalks, continually rising condo fees to try to patch things over...
The exploit there is to push as much of the cost as possible onto the captive, helpless audience, the ever-gullible taxpayer, and to exploit the legal system to draw out the many lawsuits indefinitely.
Also, if there is a quake, there’ll probably be so much other destruction, the chaos will allow them to point fingers at others in this on-going farce.
Managing
The Management series of blogs discussed this outrageous exploit. The follies of the traditional system of management make this possible, where psychopaths hire fellow psychopaths and set an originally good company on the road to ruin.
Pie in the Sky
Exploiting lack of scientific knowledge on the part of the public, like the “Mars mission” nonsense is a huge game.
If it were serious, the obvious “Mars colony” experiment would be to put your “astronauts” in a desert for a trial, say a month or so, with a spaceship’s worth of supplies and nothing else (and for that you’d have to create your spaceship, and ensure it can take off and land, right here on earth, as proof of concept), and see if they survive. These space exploits are embarrassing because the most fundamental of requirements, documented testing, is ignored while we dim bulbs sit here and no doubt fund the boondoggles with tax money and “merch.”
Obviously, nothing was learned from the “Moon missions,” though they say that younger people are starting to wise up. (Which is the incentive for yet another propaganda effort to re-sell us on the “space exploration” op.)
Is a Fundamentally Pessimistic Human Nature Responsible?
Are we damaged by innate pessimism?
Look at the new battery technologies. There should be dancing and parties in the streets. Batteries have passed that critical point where they become truly useful, yet there’s no excitement evident in the general public, apart from some of those who routinely follow such developments.
Asking Google A.I.:
Q: Are the new battery technologies that exist today enough to be a game-changer, once deployed, making gasoline cars mainly obsolete?
A.I.: ...In summary, the technology entering the market in 2026 provides the performance, safety, and cost needed to make internal combustion engines obsolete, with mass-market crossover expected late this decade.
Indeed a breakthrough, but perhaps pessimism is in order. We may get good batteries but still be exploited/screwed by high prices, taxes, electricity prices will soar... You know they have their lame excuses all lined up, already. “We just can’t cope with the increased demand and the strain on our infrastructure, so we just have to raise prices.” Meantime, hardly a peep about the power waste in idiotic crypto mining and the spy “data centers” cropping up all over. Meantime, not a peep about how they ignore regular maintenance and routine expansion of the power grid.
Price Hike Exploits
We all know about these. Any excuse to raise oil prices, food prices, pharma drug prices, any prices.
Oh, noes, the price of fertilizer went up. Oh well, no recourse but to raise prices!
Oh, noes, we’re short lithium. Those darned Chinese are hogging it all! Better turn to our last resort again, and raise prices!
There are multiple countries with fantastically large oil deposits, but somehow there’s always some crisis somewhere to push up the price per barrel.
How they must laugh. We’re dependent on the stuff, but it’s not like we’re going to go out and build our own refinery to stop the exploitation.
DEI Hustle
Yvonne Gray hit the reef multiple times (despite a warning alarm blasting away on the bridge). A big part of these disasters is not just DEI hires, but something we know too well: The prevalence of incompetent psychotics, the politicians and their appointees, right down the line.Q: Regarding Yvonne Gray sinking a [New Zealand navy] ship under her command, weren't there similar issues of officials "passing the buck" when met with reprisals for their misbehavior or incompetence?
AI.: In December 2025, a similar controversy involving the "passing of the buck" emerged when U.S. Secretary of Defense [Pete Hegseth], was accused of scapegoating Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley for a lethal boat strike in the Caribbean.
The Hegseth-Bradley Controversy
While the incident with Commander Yvonne Gray involved the accidental sinking of the HMNZS Manawanui due to crew errors with the autopilot, the U.S. case centered on a "double-tap" missile strike against survivors of a suspected drug-running boat.
The Accusation: Reports alleged that [Hegseth] personally gave a verbal order to "kill everyone" on the vessel.
The "Buck-Passing": When the legality of the strike was questioned by lawmakers as a potential war crime, the White House and Hegseth explicitly named Admiral Bradley as the one who "directed the engagement".
Official Stance: Hegseth later claimed he had "not stuck around" to see the second strike and maintained that Bradley acted within his own authority. Critics and lawmakers described this as the administration "selling out" or "throwing under the bus" a decorated officer to shield high-level officials from accountability.
Comparison of the Two Cases
Actor Commander Yvonne Gray (NZ) Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Nature Accidental grounding and sinking of a navy ship Intentional lethal strike on survivors Blame Shift Accused of negligence; her lawyer cites "unjustified criticism" and points to shore-based system failures Accused of scapegoating a subordinate (Adm. Bradley) for an allegedly illegal order Status Facing court martial for "negligently permitting a ship to be lost" Under bipartisan scrutiny for potential war crimes Historically, the U.S. Navy has also seen high-level blame shifts, such as the 2017 collisions of the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain. In those cases, while the ship captains were charged with negligent homicide, the 7th Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin was also fired, and top leadership like Adm. John Richardson was later accused of "unlawful command influence" for publicly declaring the captains "at fault" before investigations were complete.
Horrendous, how they’ll twist and try to weasel their way out of everything. No shame, no accountability, but sure quick to pick up their paychecks and be in line if there are any phony, fancy medals to be pinned on. This exploits the system. The system, of course, doesn’t want its pets’ incompetence to be exposed to the world.
You can’t allow exploits in a sensible society. It’s irresponsible to create a system without stops, checkpoints and controls over government lunacy, and lunacy on the part of the often loony public.
