September Stundie Nominations

What is a Stundie? It's a humorous statement that is very wrong.

The "water can't sublimate in vacuum" nonsense continues, over at Icke, so I'd like to nominate Stelios for continuing to not understand basic science:

Naughty man.
I have said that Water cannot become Ice on the moon during lunar daytime in bright sunshine.
You need to have ice to start your theory dont you?
You dont seem to even know what sublimation is yet you keep repeating yourself as though you have a clue.

Stelios continuing to beat this drum is funny, but it also leads to a two-fer:

Debunker "headlikearock" replies:
The sublimator isn't in direct sunlight. It's inside the PLSS. In darkness.

Can we agree on that?

The bold bit is the stundie, because at Icke, no, it cannot be "agreed" that the sublimator plate (inside the Apollo suit's backpack, under a Beta cloth coving) is in darkness.

Sorry, HLR, your apparently obvious statement is wrong when made at the Icke forum. Anywhere else . . . :cool:
 
The "real purpose" of the Federal Reserve gets revealed:
http://voxday.blogspot.com/2011/09/fed-creates-its-own-cia.html

(That page doesn't provide links directly to comments so just scroll down to the comments by ABDada.)

When you say that the Fed's policies have failed, I think you're forgetting one situation where they haven't: the Fed isn't designed just to inflate the money supply and provide the banks with profits; they're also designed to increase Federal government power because of the economic failures the Fed incites.

When the economy booms due to malinvestment due to the short term rise in money supply and the velocity of money, government is hailed as the reason.

When the economy busts as the malinvestment falls apart due to the long term rise in money supply and the velocity of money, government is asked to be the savior.

It's the initial malinvestment booms that pad the banks with profits; it's the government that expands power overall.

If you follow this line of reasoning to its end, I think you can agree that the Fed's #1 reason for existence is NOT bank profitability, but government power addiction.

What does ABDada propose be done as a strategy to stop the Federal Reserve? Hiding money under mattresses.

Only if you rely on the fiat currency AND you put it into a checking account to count as reserves.

If you hoard fiat currency (under the mattress), you're putting a restriction on the banks' abilities to increase the money supply through reserve padding. I've always said that it would just take 10% of the saving population to start hoarding money to create a variety of comical bank runs pretty quickly.

Something to consider, even if you're a goldbug. Hoarding cash = creates a nightmare for the Fed AND the banks.
Click to expand...

There are a few examples, I guess, to consider -- tell me where I'm wrong or what I'm missing.

Example 1: Typical person who earns a paycheck, deposits it into checking, spends it. This person's paycheck is being used as part of the bank's reserve ratio (currently 3-10%), so that paycheck can immediately depreciate the value of money based on the bank's loan capacity and volume. In essence, depositing a paycheck means creating inflation, if the bank is lending.

Example 2: Goldbug uses paycheck to buy gold, giving his cash to the gold seller who does what Example 1 does above (namely, deposits that fiat cash into the bank, causing inflation through bank lending against that reserve).

Example 3: Cash hoarder earns a paycheck, deposits it into his bank account and immediately withdraws his money as paper cash, hoards it under his mattress. He's not circulating that cash, so his particular cash is not being used towards a bank's reserve ratio requirements, therefore his cash is not creating inflationary pressures due to bank lending against reserves.

Is hoarding ANY riskier than savings? I think Example 2 is the best example because the act of buying gold with paper means the gold seller will be causing inflationary pressures when he deposits his fiat cash, helping increase the disparity between the value of your physical bullion and overall cash, but for those who can't afford to buy bullion close to spot, I think Example 3 makes more sense than Example 1.

Risky, sure, but considering the velocity of political conversations on the Internet, it's not far-fetched to think that the millions of freedom-supporters out there wouldn't consider starting a small "Saver's Strike" together. Would it happen overnight?

Certainly not, but I think it's an idea that should be propagated to the masses and let the banks feel the pressure slowly over time, versus instantly where they could just ask the Treasury to create more paper currency.

Liberal, conservative, libertarian: the average person out on the streets really hates the banks. I have plenty of average Joe friends who are irresponsible financially and get crunched for hundreds a year in NSF fees. I have plenty of politically involved friends who hate the banks for the bailouts.

MOST of my friends have no clue about reserve ratios, debt-induced inflationary pressures, Mv M0 M1 M2 figures, etc. But explaining to the average Joe that depositing money into checking or savings is part and parcel of inflationary pressures IS easy to do.

Hell, if I really cared about inflationary pressures (I don't, I just hoard cash until the bust and then buy assets at a discount), I'd tell people to cash in those 401Ks and IRAs and do the same -- but like it was said earlier, there's too much risk inherent in taking that action.

I do think that hoarding fiat cash is an excellent way to screw with the system -- but only if you can afford to sit on cash. If you stop using the banks but still transact hand-to-mouth, month-to-month, and only have $42 in your mattress, the effect would be zero, even cumulative if 1 million people did it ($42 million can make a dent of maybe $200 million in inflationary pressure). But if 1 million people over a few years hoarded $10k each, we're talking some actual pressures on the banks.

At the moment, many banks are themselves hoarding larger reserve ratios than required, so NOW wouldn't be the best time to hope for a response effect. Once the lending spigot is opened again, only then do reserve ratios really matter.

This probably isn't finals material, but I got a laugh out of it:


Context:

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's as big as a bus and weighs 6 tons, but officials probably will never be able to pinpoint exactly where a massive NASA satellite plummeted to Earth.

NASA space junk scientists believe that all — or nearly all — of the parts of their 20-year-old dead satellite safely plunged into the Pacific Ocean, likely missing land. But if their estimates are off, by only five minutes or so, fiery pieces could have fallen on parts of northwestern North America.

From the "Being skeptical should go both ways" thread in the General Skepticism sub-forum (and I hold that this qualifies as a Stundie nomination because the person in question apparently believes that all scientists are in some kind of conspiracy to keep the truth about ghosts, psychic readings, telekinesis, telepathy, yadayadayada, down):

One of the awful Jonesboy threads, Embarassed i think, features him declaring that the colour red and the taste of coffee do not exist. Is it contagious?

erock -- did you ever nominate the "magic magnetosphere/network of LEO satellites simulating Geostationary Orbit" theory for a stundie? That one's so daft even the other icke ct's hate it. One of the ufo people tracked me down here and pm'd me asking me to come back and debunk it because it defeats the "face on Mars" and Hoagland stuff. :rolleyes:

I think Frenat did last month.

However, the daftnut has come up with a new one (or at least elaborated on an old one)!

http://forum.davidicke.com/showpost.php?p=1060244936&postcount=1778

"Next a simple test anyone can perform at home to certify Nasa deep space claims are bogus:

You will need these easily obtainable items for the experiment:

Deposit one drop of the food coloring into the glass of water and note what happens.

You have just witnessed what happens to a radio signal as it enters the earth's magnetospheric barriers.

No radio signals no deep space voyages. Doesn't get any simpler."


There is a burning stupidity there that is really quite frightening. :jaw-dropp

I thought I nominated it this month. Can't really remember now. As for the rest, wow, just wow. Can we renames the Stundie to the "Alexis111"s? He is really trying to stack the deck this month.

You want a theory, here's one. Just as before it's high level. Some other force was acting on that object making it accelerate faster then gravity alone explain. I've explained why it can't be an object falling sooner..etc, do not believe it was a spring action as it was mostly coming straight down. It had a white smoke trail to it, much like a wayward firework. Based on these observations it would seem likely that some agent (that should not have been there) was causing what we observed.
You'll come back with you usual, well what was this "agent", how did it get there..etc. Not really addressing much of anything, or giving any explanation for the behavior that is observed.

I highlited the Stundilicious parts: Yes, he presents the following theory:
"Some agent applied some force on the object in question"​
Wow!

Yes it was this month - post 3. That has to be 4 separate nominations at least, I wonder if Travis can do a 'stundie portfolio' as a single entry:D

Nah, I'd like to see him win first, second, and third place. He deserves it.
 
Not sure what to make of this:

My point was to ask your opinion on why the 1,600 verified architectural and engineering professionals of AE911t haven't done, and apparently arent't doing, any professional quality architectural or engineering work to support Gage's theories or the cause of 9/11 Truth.

Are they in on it? Are they incompetent? Are they paid off (and by whom)?

So, the 1600 brave "professionals" who signed Gage's petition demanding a new 9/11 investigation are payed off to not do any actual work.
