OMFG John Maynard Keynes Was The Ghey!

And apparently even remarking upon this and noting that it might have influenced his economic theories is now something just short of a legal hate crime. Tom Kostigen of the Financial Advisor positively gets the vapors over Niall Ferguson's recent comments to a conference of financial advisors:

Ferguson responded to a question about Keynes' famous philosophy of self-interest versus the economic philosophy of Edmund Burke, who believed there was a social contract among the living, as well as the dead. Ferguson asked the audience how many children Keynes had. He explained that Keynes had none because he was a homosexual and was married to a ballerina, with whom he likely talked of "poetry" rather than procreated. . . . Ferguson . . . says it's only logical that Keynes would take this selfish worldview because he was an "effete" member of society. . . .

...This takes gay-bashing to new heights. It even perversely pins the full weight of the financial crisis on the gay community and the barren.

Not only is this intellectually void, it's mad. And anyone with a moral conscience should be outraged. It is one thing to take issue with a society fueled by self interest and one fueled by a larger ethic. But it's entirely vulgar to make this argument about sexual preference -- and to do so glibly.

Kostigen doesn't provide any actual quotes but needless to say Ferguson has been reduced to abject apology in order to keep the PC police at bay.

But Jonah Goldberg points out that this has been a criticism of Keynes in academia going back decades (and that Keynes more or less described himself as a Bloomsbury aesthete):

In fact, something of the "soul" of Bloomsbury penetrated even into Keynes's economic theories. There is a discernible affinity between the Bloomsbury ethos, which put a premium on immediate and present satisfactions, and Keynesian economics, which is based entirely on the short run and precludes any long-term judgments. (Keynes's famous remark. "In the long run we are all dead," also has an obvious connection with his homosexuality - what Schumpeter delicately referred to as his "childless vision.") The same ethos is reflected in the Keynesian doctrine that consumption rather than saving is the source of economic growth - indeed, that thrift is economically and socially harmful. In The Economic Consequences of the Peace, written long before The General Theory, Keynes ridiculed the "virtue" of saving. The capitalists, he said, deluded the working classes into thinking that their interests were best served by saving rather than consuming. This delusion was part of the age-old Puritan fallacy.

But to repeat this observation today is now "gay bashing".

And Mark Steyn who's a well known Keynesian 'basher' and actually met some of the Bloomsbury Group weighs in here.

USAF Hypersonic Scramjet Successfully Scrams

Fourth time's a charm.

The final flight of the X-51A Waverider test program has accomplished a breakthrough in the development of flight reaching Mach 5.1 over the Pacific Ocean . . ."It was a full mission success," said Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager for the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate. The cruiser traveled over 230 nautical miles in just over six minutes over the Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center Sea Range. It was the longest of the four X-51A test flights and the longest air-breathing hypersonic flight ever. . . This was the last of four test vehicles originally conceived when the $300 million technology demonstration program began in 2004. The program objective was to prove the viability of air-breathing, high-speed scramjet propulsion. The X-51A is unique primarily due to its use of a hydrocarbon fuel in its supersonic combustion ramjet, or Scramjet, engine. . . The use of logistically supportable hydrocarbon fuel is widely considered vital for the practical application of hypersonic flight.

In case you're not sure what a scramjet is:

A scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a variant of a ramjet airbreathing jet engine in which combustion takes place in supersonic airflow. As in ramjets, a scramjet relies on high vehicle speed to forcefully compress and decelerate the incoming air before combustion (hence ramjet), but whereas a ramjet decelerates the air to subsonic velocities before combustion, airflow in a scramjet is supersonic throughout the entire engine. This allows the scramjet to operate efficiently at extremely high speeds: theoretical projections place the top speed of a scramjet between Mach 12 (9,100 mph; 15,000 km/h) and Mach 24 (18,000 mph; 29,000 km/h)

Meet the Liberator: The World's First 3D Printed Gun

Like its namesake it's really only capable of shooting a few rounds. But it's a gun and that may be all you need.

The 3D printed gun, called 'The Liberator', was made by Cody Wilson, the 25-year-old University of Texas law student who was the star of Motherboard's documentary Click. Print. Gun. Wilson has built the prototype weapon above and plans to release the CAD files for the gun next week to the public. Basically, anyone will then be able to print the weapon with no background checks or serial numbers.

...Forbes says that the Liberator is made from sixteen different pieces and uses interchangeable barrels for different calibers. All those pieces are made from ABS plastic and formed from a Stratasys Dimension SST printer. The gun also uses a nail to act as its firing pin and Wilson added a six ounce piece of steel to the gun so it can be recognized by metal detectors.

But of course the metal pin and piece of steel can be replaced/omitted by those printing their own.

It Turns Out That Money Can Buy Happiness

Since the publication of the "Easterlin paradox" in 1974, researchers from around the globe have been trying to prove whether or not a person's net worth correlates with how happy they are. In 2008, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers found a logarithmic correlation between one's income and life satisfaction. The research duo published a new paper last month to reveal that this correlation has held up through recessions, with people in 25 countries reporting higher life satisfaction with higher pay.

Russia Redesigning the AK-47

There have already been a few updates in the last 60+ years such as the AK-74 and AK-100.

The new platform model is designated the Kalashnikov AK-12 ("Avtomat Kalashnikova, 2012" ) and is produced in the famed Izhmash factory, which was formed by decree of Tsar Alexander I in 1807 and produced the original line of Kalashnikovs. Russian authorities plan to phase out the existing AK-74M and AK-100 lines in favor of the AK-12, should it pass acceptance testing later this year. Development on the AK-12 began prior to 2010 but it wasn't until May of that year that the Russian Defence Ministry announced the existence of the project and that initial testing would begin in 2011.

One of biggest differences will be that the AK-12 will mostly NATO-compatible.

The new AK-12 will feature nearly two dozen design improvements over its predecessor while retaining the rifle's versatility and reliability. It will be available to military forces in both light and heavy versions. The Light variant will be able to fire 5.45x39, 5.56x45, 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39 rounds while the Heavy version will shoot 7.62×51 NATO rounds. Both variants will feature three select-firing modes similar to the American M-16-single shot, three round burst, full auto-rather than the AK's binary semi- or full-auto options. What's more, the old right-handed fire-select switch has been replaced with an ambidextrous selector lever.

The muzzle has also been redesigned to fire 22mm NATO-standard barrel-mounted grenades rather than the 40 mm GP-25 grenades utilized by the AK-47. In addition, improved rifling has reportedly improved the new model's accuracy from the older's rating of "good enough".

Back When Hijacking Was Cool

Between 1968 and 1973, somebody hijacked a commercial airliner nearly every week.

And some of the comments are pretty funny:

I remember those days. They all went to Cuba it seemed. As a precocious 3rd grader, I tried to hijack our schoolbus to have it go to Cuba. The driver wasn't having it.

Air India Pilots Leave Autopilot and Flight Attendants In Charge During Nap

And their scheme would have worked except for those meddling flight attendants who accidentally turned off the autopilot.

Two pilots have been suspended from an airline after they allegedly left an Airbus carrying 166 passengers on autopilot and air hostesses in charge while they slept in business class.

The Air India flight was travelling from Bangkok to New Delhi when both the co-pilot and the pilot left the cockpit after having spent some time instructing two flight attendants how to fly.

But the pair had to rush back and seize the controls of the A-320 after one of them accidentally turned off the autopilot setting, sources said.

Antibiotic Protects Men from Beautiful Women

Japanese researchers recruited about 100 men to play a trust game using photographs of women. In the game, each man was given 1300 Yen (approx. $13) and asked to rate the attractiveness of each woman as well as how much money they would give them in the trust game. The men were told that the amount of money given would be tripled, and the woman could then choose how to split the money between herself and the man. Unbeknownst to the men, every woman had already chosen in advance to take all of the money, completely stiffing the man. In other words, every woman was a potential "honey trap."

Prior to the experiment, the men were given either placebo or minocycline. The men who took minocycline were immune to the seductive allure of the honey traps.

Why take chances? Build up your tolerance by regularly playing with beautiful women and then take some minocycline prophylactically.

Turn it all the way up, and you can slice the Earth in half like a ripe tomato."

Imagine a world in which even one person imagined that you could provide the plans for such a thing, and maybe live out the week, because of shared social values. These days, someone would do that as soon as they could put one together, saying "Allahu Akhbar" as they did it.

Re the Niall Ferguson and Keynes Teh Ghey kerfuffle... 

Not only was Keynes an effete Bloomsbury aesthete, he was also quite the anti-Semite as well. 

Details to be found in Jerry Muller's masterpiece "The Mind and the Market: Capitalism in Modern European Thought."

One of the very interesting things that Muller does in his coverage of Keynes is link it to his review of the philosophy (such as it was) of Herbert Marcuse -- indeed, Keynes and Marcuse are covered in the same single, extended chapter.

The idea Muller propounds is that the effete Bloomsbury aesthete ethic that so thoroughly animated Keynes (and correspondingly turned him so disdainfully against the Jews) was at its core anti-capitalist (or just barely tolerant of capitalism as a necessary evil) -- and that what Marcuse advocated in his book Eros and Civilization drew from precisely the same well.

I feel quite bad for Prof. Ferguson -- there's nothing good to be said for Keynes, and Ferguson was surely justified in the critical line he employed.

89 Fatal logical flaw in Clan Rubio arguments about the reform bill, vis a vis it won't be 11 million getting to stay, because many won't qualify. OOookkkaaayyy....so somehow it a task beyond Hercules to deport 11 million illegals, but the millions who apparently won't qualify for amnesty are folks we can somehow easily take care of? Please. Because if that is so, if a few million are deportable, then we should be able to repeat the process a few times, one should think...so, then why don't we take care of the whole 11 million (since apparently millions are numbers we can hack deporting), unless we are saying we have wronged these folks somehow and must grant them immunity from the laws? Or the right to say what the law is? Because that's the rub, isn't it? Let's just say that it seems in Marco Rubio's United States of America, the de facto laws regarding immigration are made by outsiders, not those of the nation. Traditionally, that is called a conquered land, but over to my betters in the GOP for what I am supposed to say it is.

110 Keynes was just gay. That's almost inconsequential. He was also a serial predator of young males in their teens; a pederast, in other words. And he kept a journal of his conquests. There must have been some sort of fad amongst Edwardian queers to keep journals. Another who did was the British traitor Roger Casement. He buggered youths in both Africa and South America while in the diplomatic service, and kept copious notes. That's not what got him hanged, though. He was giving aid and comfort to the republicans in Ireland.

Posted by: Tobacco Road at May 05, 2013 06:44 PM (4Mv1T)

123 Another thing Keynes defenders truly screw up on is the claim he had a wife and tried to have children with her.

The woman is known to have had a miscarriage. Or at least the couple is known to have claimed as much. Whether any medical records exist to offer any evidence is never pursued. Without that, the marriage is a perfect beard arrangement. A woman with immigration issues. Trying ever so hard to have children but just not managing for some reason.

I've known a few couples who split when the man came out of the closet. In at least two of those cases they claimed for years to be trying to conceive. After the marriage had ended the woman would reveal that the problem was more basic than a medical issue: they'd never had sex of the sort that might bring his sperm in contact with her egg!

Another issue, as Steyn points out, is that Keynes wasn't just gay but was the worst sort of predatory buggerer seeking out young men barely old enough to consent.

Is it really such a leap to suggest such a person wasn't inclined to concern over long term results of the policies he advocated? Or that he found normal human behavior so alien that he didn't so the flaw in policies that required extremely unrealistic behavior on the part of politicians?

166 "In all my times riding in a limo" is a phrase that would never have even occurred to me. I have ridden in a number of cabs though. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at May 05, 2013 10:52 PM (X9ujD) I consider those stretch limos to be mechanical abortions, and as a car guy, they give me the creeps. Now, if it happened I had to ride in one in order to travel with a group, I guess I would. But the idea does not appeal to me one bit.

Good to hear, if it helps share with the ONT crowd.

We're good about listening when needed.

188 A correlation between money and happiness doesn't imply a cause. I think there are certain attitudes and behaviors, certain moral and cultural dispositions--bourgeois values, if you will --- that are more likely to result in both financial success and happiness. Absent those factors, money is as likely to make someone unhappy as otherwise. Losers who fortuitously come into money usually just become bigger losers.

249 "Gabrielle Giffords awarded a Profiles In Courage Award by the Kennedy Center"

The original _Profiles in Courage_, supposedly written by JFK, was yet another one of those examples of blatant yet discreetly overlooked plagiarism among the Hahvahd set.

A few years after Kennedy's death, it came out that Ted Sorensen had ghostwritten pretty much the entire book for him, uncredited but well paid. Doing the literary leg work all the way down to the selection of the individual "profiles".

Doing the literary leg work all the way down to the selection of the individual "profiles".

278 Good "diversity": when racial minorities, wymyn, and gays offer opinions and policies  the Leftosphere agrees with.

Bad "diversity":  when conservatives, whites, and straights offer opinions and policies the Leftosphere disagrees with.

Airbrushed "diversity":  when racial minorities, wymyn, and gays offer opinions and policies the Leftosphere disagrees with, recoils from and attempts to cover up.

Keynes offered a number of anti-Jew comments back in the 1930's.

Some lefties are saying (at Althouse) that those were OK opinions "at the time".

Well then, I suppose Hitler and Nazi-ism can be justified on the same basis:  the Holocaust was OK based upon prevailing beliefs "at the time".

But late 19th/early 19th century views on slavery, the status of women and the like mark the American Founders as EEEVVVILLLL.

Clothing lines nope. so "recognized as a beauty", is that the same as scientific consensus on global warming. as far as attractiveness goes, she has a pretty face but she is really out of shape.

Look to see how much detail people on forums give, is the gun put through a variety of shooting or is it a safe queen?

341 Cheap bastid should have shelled out the $89.00 for the adapter. I got the Saw Dildo Adapter Kit for my girlfriend for valentine's day and it has been fantastic. This is the crack of sex toys and she's addicted, "I'm so sore but I want it again".  When at top speed, it is moving in and out so fast her pussy was a blur. Also, I'm pretty sure the neighbors across the street can hear her screaming when this thing is pounding her. THIS IS THE BEST SEX TOY EVER! It has the substantial power of an industrial power tool to keep slamming the dildo back and forth.

Posted by: Baldy at May 05, 2013 08:28 PM (tyDFN)

428 One of the best ways to hit a big hand *and* get paid bigtime for it is with four-of-a-kind, drawn out, especially with a low-ranked card.

Example: you call pre-flop with a pair of deuces and see the third deuce drop on the flop. Hopefully the flop is "coordinated" (i.e., the cards aren't far apart from each other in rank, and maybe there's two of a suit). Then you pick up the fourth deuce on the turn or river (preferably the river), when whomever's in to play for their flush/straight or draws is pushing in more and more chips to the point where they're pot-committed (willing to call anything).

It's such a fantasy to play one of these. I believe I've had *two* of them in my entire poker history, and the last one was at least three years ago. Sigh.

435 One of the best ways to hit a big hand *and* get paid bigtime for it is with four-of-a-kind, drawn out, especially with a low-ranked card.

Example: you call pre-flop with a pair of deuces and see the third deuce drop on the flop. Hopefully the flop is "coordinated" (i.e., the cards aren't far apart from each other in rank, and maybe there's two of a suit). Then you pick up the fourth deuce on the turn or river (preferably the river), when whomever's in to play for their flush/straight or draws is pushing in more and more chips to the point where they're pot-committed (willing to call anything).

It's such a fantasy to play one of these. I believe I've had *two* of them in my entire poker history, and the last one was at least three years ago. Sigh.

 

Posted by: qdpsteve at May 06, 2013 12:29 AM

 

Awesome. Do you have a rule with your deuces? Check if possible or call low? I usually chuck them away. But, I miss a fair bit of action doing that.

I could be wrong but I don't believe declaring as such is common in good old fashioned no-limit hold'em. Sorry. In classic Texas Hold'em, what I was taught is that just about any pair is worth seeing a flop for, so long as the pre-flop raises aren't outrageous. Of course, folks here will probably have strong opinions about how correct that is as well.

I once tried Omaha. Talk about frustrating. You need to have at least a set (three cards same rank) to even THINK about calling your opponents. And it's surprisingly common to see full houses beat by even better full houses, or better.

446 So, as a means of promoting my book (and dispelling justifiable fears that my book is shoddily written, since I'm a new author and so many e-book writers can't even be bothered to proofread their spelling and grammar) I would like to provide the first chapter of my book to morons who will mention it on their Facebook, Twitter, etc.  If they like the first chapter, I believe they would feel like purchasing the book and reviewing it as well.

I'm not sure of the actual logistics of that though.  Amazon provides a free viewable sample on the book's website (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CKJ70AW) of the first few pages.  Yet there doesn't actually seem to be any setting to allow viewing of the entire first chapter.

Does anyone know how to make that happen?

447 I usually throw away any pair if I don't get the third card on the flop, unless I can stay in cheap. Maybe kk or AA I'll call a big bet after the flop, but I won't like doing it. If I get an AA and end up only playing against one or two other people I'll stay in.

452 UWP: Exactly. The coincidences I've seen at the table... well, a mathematician would tell you the odds of them happening are statistically next to impossible, but I've seen them so often.

And re getting your third card on the flop: sound advice, but it can also be worth it to stay in sometimes if your pair is way above anything on the flop (i.e. you have a pair of Jacks, and the flop comes 9-5-2). You're also right that you gotta watch bet sizes and how large the pot is (or how large the pot is likely to get).

Haven't played Omaha.  With deuces I'll play them with a check or call to see the flop, early on when a minimum bet will do. Against a raise early, maybe. Later on when it's expensive, no. Chuck 'em. Unless I can check in on the blind. I don't feel good with them even if I get a set.

It's the first legal American online poker site, set up by Station Casinos (a brick-and-mortar casino operator based in Nevada). The software just became available for download and set up on Windows PCs as of a week ago.

Only downside thus far: only Nevada residents can play. They actually require your mobile number and triangulate it with nearby towers to see if you're in the state. If not, you're barred from sitting at a table.

Hopefully that will change soon.

On the night of Sept. 11, as the Obama administration scrambled to respond to the Benghazi terror attacks, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a key aide effectively tried to cut the department's own counterterrorism bureau out of the chain of reporting and decision-making, according to a "whistle-blower" witness from that bureau who will soon testify to the charge before Congress, Fox News has learned.

That witness is Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for operations in the agencyÂ’s counterterrorism bureau. Sources tell Fox News Thompson will level the allegation against Clinton during testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Fox News has also learned that another official from the counterterrorism bureau -- independently of Thompson -- voiced the same complaint about Clinton and Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy to trusted national security colleagues back in October.


Posted by: thunderb at May 05, 2013 09:23 PM (nH8jP)

470

Thompson's lawyer, Joseph diGenova, a former U.S. attorney, has further alleged that his client has been subjected to threats and intimidation by as-yet-unnamed superiors at State, in advance of his cooperation with Congress.

Sources close to the congressional investigation who have been briefed on what Thompson will testify tell Fox News the veteran counterterrorism official concluded on Sept. 11 that Clinton and Kennedy tried to cut the counterterrorism bureau out of the loop as they and other Obama administration officials weighed how to respond to -- and characterize -- the Benghazi attacks.

"You should have seen what (Clinton) tried to do to us that night," the second official in State's counterterrorism bureau told colleagues back in October.  Those comments would appear to be corroborated by Thompson's forthcoming testimony



Posted by: thunderb at May 05, 2013 09:26 PM (nH8jP)

471

what he is saying is that Clinton and Obama did not respond to the attack in Benghazi because to do so would be to admit it was terrorism

 

they did not even try to save them because it would be an admission of terrorism

 

they let them die so they could argue it was not terrorism

 

they debated the optics while Doherty and Woods died on a rooftop saving 31 other people

From Zygmund Dobbs's penetrating book, "Keynes at Harvard: Economic Deception as a Political Credo," comes this choice passage relevant to
the heated discussion concerning Harvard historian Niall FergusonÂ’s impolitic remarks:

“Keynes was characterized by his male sweetheart, Lytton Strachey, as 'A
liberal and a sodomite, an atheist and a statistician.' His particular depravity was the sexual abuse of little boys. In communications to his homosexual friends, Keynes advised that they go to Tunis, 'where bed and boy were also not expensive.'

"As a sodomistic pedophiliac, he ranged throughout the Mediterranean area in search of boys for himself and his fellow socialists. Taking full advantage of the bitter poverty and abysmal ignorance in North Africa, the Middle East, and Italy, he purchased the bodies of children prostituted for English shillings.

“Such Leftist hypocrites then, as now, issued loud denunciations against poverty, imperialism, and capitalist immorality. However, for their own degenerate purposes, they eagerly sought out the worst pockets of destitution and backwardness to satisfy their perverted purposes through sexual enslavement of youngsters.

"While traveling in France and the United States they complained among themselves of the harassment by the police of practicing homosexuals. In degenerate areas of the Mediterranean, on the other hand, they found a pervert’s Utopia where the bodies of children could be purchased as part of a cultured socialist’s holiday.”

Dobbs book is available online for prurient readers.

498 The Bloomsbury Assholes specifically and expressly adopted social values and priorities that were contrary to mainstream, middle-class, bourgeois, heterosexual, monogamous society. They said this all the time. Repeatedly. To anyone who would listen. It was their fetish, their point of self-congratulation, their raison d'être, their entire identity and conceit. But if you dare suggest that their overt rejection of the values and priorities of middle-class family life had anything to do with their work, then you're a bigot and must be destroyed. Got it. By the way, Keynes wrote a special intro to the German edition of his General Theory book, in 1937 or so. He blithely (glibly?) mentions that it's a lot easier to implement Keynesianism in a state-run economy like the one in Nazi Germany. It's the only thing he ever said that was accurate.
