listen to be in your 30s and typing THIS out is cringe, and honestly extremely creepy to be talking about someone else like this during whatever is disturbing. anybody in the right mind would know that talking about someone like that, especially dylan, even if they were a celebrity or not is extremely uncomfortable.
imagine if dylan actually did see your blog, do you think he’d be impressed, or a little disturbed and uncomfortable? personally, i do love your page, and otherwise i think your writing is amazing and this is not in anyway hateful. but sometimes it is upsetting for people to take respect and decency out of hand for just a general person, i would say this whether it was dylan or not aswell.
please, just take into consideration how others (and who your posting about) would feel about you typing this out and posting it for people to see.
Okay, here we go...
I make my personal content SO easy to ignore. I tag it all as #personal. If you don't want to see that content and have chosen not to filter that tag, that's on you. I can share what I like on my blog. If you think that it's disturbing that I've imagined having a threesome with Dylan and my husband then the world must be an incredibly difficult place for you to navigate.
If my content is offensive to you, that's fine. I'm not interested in people-pleasing here. I'm interested in having somewhere to feel like I can share what I feel comfortable sharing, creating content, consuming content I enjoy, and engaging with people who have similar interests. You want to know what I'd be able to post about here if being in no way offensive was my goal? You wanna see it? Here it is:
YEAH. Nothing. That's right.
And if you want my personal opinion?? I don't think Dylan would give two shits about what I'm doing here. This is a man who made a joke openly about fucking 30 extras in a bts clip from Teen Wolf IN FRONT OF THEM. So no, I don't think he's so sexually repressed that the idea that a married woman would want him as her third would disgust him in the way you seem to imply. And if it did? How am I supposed to know without exposing him to my shameful content that would apparently scar him and his sensitive disposition?
I'm glad you enjoy my writing, but if that's all you want to see, then you should probably figure out a way to filter your dash for my personal posts because I'm gonna keep posting them.

Hello, what do you think about that announcement about Bleach?
You know, the saddest day in my life was November 8, 2016, the day Donald Trump won the Electoral College and became the president-elect. (I say that with such specificity because he did not win the vote.) I wasn’t sad because Hillary Clinton lost (although I think she wouldn’t have done either much better or worse than Barack Obama). But I was sad.
I cried. As a 30 year-old man, I cried for hours. I cried at a loss of innocence. That innocence wasn’t the nation’s, as America has long had many, many flaws and has committed many, many crimes. Indeed, the country itself was founded on flaws and crimes.
The innocence I mourned was mine. I had, much like Barack Obama, sort of tacitly believed in the arc of history bending toward justice, as though we were watching a story whose plot would eventually, haltingly, carry us toward a just and fair conclusion. That the future was bright. That, as imperfect as we are and have been, we were at least improving. That people were fundamentally good.
That idea died that night. The words of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now convey it well:
I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile: a pile of little arms. And I remember I… I… I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget.
What I came to realize was, having grown up in a single-parent military family, having moved from base to base, having lived overseas at a young age, that my idea of America was very different from that of most Americans.
To me, America was great things and works. America was the Saturn V lifting off from Cape Kennedy with an American flag on its side and the letters “USA” scrolling by. America was a flag on the Moon. America was the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. America was power and reach. It was the stenciling of “United States” on the side of a B-52. It was a Minuteman III sitting latently, ominously, in a silo. It was USAMRIID containing an Ebola outbreak. It was aircraft carrier battle groups patrolling the oceans.
I came to realize that people, ordinary people, were never part of my vision. And it was people, ordinary people, who had failed to live up to that vision. And that my vision had, in many ways (really most) been an illusion to begin with. For all its rhetoric, America is just a country like any other, simply more powerful. And its citizens are also like those of any other: selfish, ignorant, frightened, foolish, hypocritical, self-betraying, racist, misogynist, misanthropic. They were exactly what Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama had called them: “deplorables” who “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people.”
In the time since, I have hearkened to the other part of Kurtz’s monologue:
And then I realized, like I was shot—like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God, the genius of that. The genius! The will to do that: perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, trained cadres—these men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who have children, who are filled with love��but they had the strength—the strength!—to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgement. Without judgement! Because it’s judgement that defeats us.
The people who are in charge (and mark the exactitude of my words, for they are not in control, or in command, or any such other thing) operate by exactly this sort of logic. They do not care. The people out there do not care. They do not care because to them none of this is real, in a sense. This is all a kind of aesthetic position. It is about style, largely taken on as a disguise in the course of making money and lining their pockets. (As an aside, it is beyond ironic that COVID-19 has done more to bring capitalism to its knees, save the planet, uncover the rot at the core of our social safety net, and to unmask the incompetence of our politicians than any group of any persuasion, be it socialists, environmentalists, the media, or whomever else.) And the underlings that they have brainwashed and mobilize like zombies, the “common person,” they care even less. To them, it is wholly aesthetic. It is all just for show.
The pitilessness of this all, the remorselessness, the sheer ruthlessness and indifference, is something I have noticed. Contra Kurtz, the men who are at the top of this world are not moral. And unlike Kurtz, I do judge. I will sit in judgment until I am dust in the wind.
I cannot possibly even begin to explain to you, in English or in any other language ever devised by humans, how much I hated it all. How much I hate it still. I cannot even begin to tell you how much hate I hold. I cannot tell you how black my rage is, or how red my vengeance would be were I allowed to exact it without restraint. I cannot tell you how vast and terrible the darkness within me is now. However, the words of the Allied Mastercomputer from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream are effective in giving a hint:
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
Having said that, I do also know an effective strategy when I see one. And I have seen the effectiveness of these people.
Right about now, I imagine you’re confused. You’re probably wondering what all this has to do with Bleach.
I explain all this in large part to compare and contrast the large with the small. The termination of Bleach obviously came before Trump’s election. It did not make me cry. I won’t say it didn’t affect me, or that it didn’t hurt, but I didn’t cry. I did not mourn to the same extent as I have mourned for my country, or for humanity. It did put me into a funk, for several years even. It hurt.
But what hurt more was seeing what it did. I saw how it hurt people. I saw how it broke them, as I would later break. I saw how it broke their spirits. I saw how many of them simply left, choosing to cast aside something that, in Marie Kondo’s words, no longer sparked joy. I mourn their loss, while I acknowledge their wisdom. And while, in the aftermath, new friendships were formed and new things were created, you could still see the pain. You can still see it.
I am not very personally affected by what Trump does, to be honest. I am beyond outraged at it, but it is something of an academic matter in my personal life. This, though, I felt, because I watched it firsthand, up close and personal.
It made me really fucking angry!
I resolved myself, at that point in time, that I would be the last Bleach fan. I would stay, even after everyone had left, and I would make this franchise mine. I would make this story mine.
So here we are, almost four years later, and it’s coming back in animated form.
I don’t feel the need to discuss Thousand Year-Blood War itself. I have made my position abundantly clear that it is a rancid piece of shit as far as writing goes. To go over all its innumerable deficiencies, failings, and flaws, would (as I have said recently) require an official government tome’s worth of dissection and analysis. As a piece of literature it is a failure. It is the kind of shounen equivalent of 9/11, or Hurricane Katrina or Maria. And while Bleach was certainly not the first franchise to fail in its finale, it certainly deserves to be ranked among things such as How I Met Your Mother, Mass Effect 3, and HBO’s adaptation of Game of Thrones when it comes to All-Time Failures in Media.
Having said that, the truth is that it simply isn’t worth the effort to break it down in detail. Oh, I have tried, yes, I have picked and chipped at it for years in my own ways. But it isn’t worth the time to dissect any further.
And an anime is not going to change that unless they radically depart from the manga, which I doubt they will do. If anything, an anime will simply highlight all of the innumerable flaws even more brightly.
And it will not change anything. Certainly not for me. I was already planning a post talking about the concept of “canon” and how it is  outmoded in the age of Disney’s Star Wars, Star Trek Picard, and J. K. Rowling earnestly insisting that wizards just drop trow and shit on the floor before magicking it away, but that will take some time to finish and it is sort of tangential to the point here.
So, to get back to your actual question, only four things about this are really of interest to me:
I am displeased about seeing people excited for something that is objectively a rancid piece of shit, and not enthused that I will be unable to escape it without locking down my feed. But I am also not The Good Taste Police. It is not my responsibility to care what people like or why.
I am once again seeing people hurting. I don’t like that whatsoever, but there is very little I can do about it. Whatever perspective I have gained, emotionally, isn’t likely to be helpful to them. Wisdom, such as it is, cannot be taught.
I find myself wondering about the influx of people who will come into the fandom, and who will be more than likely sorely disappointed by the travesty that is that arc. (It’s going to be good news for fan fic writers, honestly.)
It has made me understand things all the more fully.
What do I mean by that last part? Well, I have been only sort of joking lately that the people I most relate to as an adult are Col. Kurtz as mentioned above, Agent Smith from The Matrix, Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher, and Mike Stoklasa from Red Letter Media.
But upon reflection, I realize it isn’t limited to them. I have also really come to feel like I understand Ichigo. And I have even come to feel that I understand Kubo, through Khan.
I have come to understand Kurtz’s “madness”:
It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror… Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies!
I have come to understand Smith’s desire to escape:
I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can’t stand it any longer. It’s the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I’ve somehow been infected by it.
I have come to understand Mike’s efforts to hold back the tides:
Mike: Captain Picard has never done a wacky accent—Rich: THEY DON’T CARE! THEY DON’T GIVE A SHIT! Mike, we are the only people that care anymore!Mike: Do you remember that—Rich: Picard is the guy who does this. [faceplam gesture] He’s—This is, this is Captain Picard’s character now for an entire—for like two generations, we’re fucking old! He's—he’s the guy who does this [facepalm gesture], and fuckin’ Patrick Stewart wants to put on an eye-patch and dance around an alien bar? Go ahead motherfucker! We’ll write that in!Mike: I-I-I hearken back to a wonderful little moment on Star Trek—Rich: Patrick Picard wants to ride a dune-buggy? Fuck yeah! Here’s a dune-buggy!Mike: Do-Do you remember—Rich: That’s how much respect they have for, for the franchise!Mike: All I’m tryin’ to say is Captain Picard would not do a wacky accent!Rich: NO, OF COURSE HE WOULDN’T! OF COURSE CAPTAIN PICARD WOULD—CAPTAIN PICARD ISN’T HERE, MIKE!Mike: He’s not there.Rich: HE’S NOT HERE! That’s all an illusion, hahaha!
I have come to understand Geralt’s tiredness.
I have come to understand Ichigo’s feelings of powerlessness in the face of the injustices of the world.
I have come to understand Khan’s rage:
I’ve done far worse than kill you. I’ve hurt you. And I wish to go on… hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet… buried alive! Buried alive…!
In this last quote, I have also truly come to understand Kubo. I understand him because I want to hurt him, as he so thoroughly, persistently, and remorselessly wants to hurt us, the fans of his work. I want to go on hurting him, as he goes on hurting us. I understand him perfectly, because I want to pay him back exactly in kind.
And the best way to begin to hurt him is to let his efforts wash over me without even batting an eye. To stand in defiance. To not give a single fuck.
Even with these understandings, for me, nothing has really changed from almost four years ago. The only thing that is different is that the timeframe until I am the last man standing has been extended a little. That’s it.
You want to know my thoughts? They are simple, and they boil down to two quotes. One is again from Khan:
Joachim: They’re still running with shields down.Khan: Of course! We are one big, happy fleet! Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold… in space!
And the other is from JFK:
Don’t get mad. Get even.

I’m getting pretty exhausted with people doing this “Can’t we all just get along?” schtick. 
Later on, in the same comment thread, someone said, “We need to come together and put aside our differences!” 
No. We really don’t. 
That is not the appropriate strategy. Once people decide tearing families apart is okay... once people decide that skin color makes you an animal infestation... once people excuse sexual assault and pedophilia because someone is on “their side”... the time for civil debate is over. 
We need to guilt and shame people for their intolerance. We need to show them this is not okay. We need to make them feel like pariahs in our society. And we need to show up and vote every last Trump supporting politician out of office. 
Asking politely for people to stop being horrible did not seem to be effective. But shame could very well be working.
I do not advocate abusive harassment. No death threats, rape threats, or calls to violence. No doxxing of home addresses or stalking. No one should be scared for their lives.
However, if you do not want Sarah Huckabee Sanders in your restaurant because she makes your LGBTQ employees uncomfortable... politely asking her to leave seems reasonable to me. Personally, I thought the owner of the Red Hen handled that with an abundance of civility. 
If you want to inform someone’s employer of abhorrent behavior, I feel like that is just a public service. Businesses have a right to know if their employees are fond of tiki torches and white supremacy. 
And if people choose not to hold their tongue and abandon the use of flowery language to describe the dregs of our society, I’m not going to admonish them for it. 
You cannot be divisive if everyone has already divided. 
We did not cause this division. The right’s acceptance and apathy towards rampant intolerance did this. 
These are not differences in opinion where a compromise can be reached. There are no intolerance-legitimizing “alternate viewpoints” worth considering. This is the gradual progression of fascism and it needs to be stopped. 
Also, I’m getting a little tired of conservatives bemoaning liberals who no longer want to be their friends. They keep calling us immature and posting this slave owner’s perspective.  
Tumblr media
I’m afraid Thomas Jefferson quotes are not enough to change my mind about who I choose to associate with. 
If you hate gay people or people of color or think everything Trump has done is just dandy... I am not going to playfully call you a scalawag for your fringe opinions and ask if we are still on for bowling this Friday. 
Friendship over. End of story.
“Can you at least stop calling us mean names??!! You are just pushing everyone further apart!”
First... *cough* SNOWFLAKE *cough*
Second... if you advocate traumatizing children and sending babies to immigration court, you ARE deplorable. That’s not even an insult. It’s just accurate labeling. And I want to be as far apart from you as humanly possible.
The truth is, Trump and his supporters have taken such an amazingly low road at almost every opportunity, it’s actually impossible for progressives not to take a higher road. We could be at the bottom of the ocean and STILL be on the high road. Anyone with basic human decency is on the high road. And we are looking down at the low road, flipping all of them the bird. 
Because... fuck ‘em. 
This is my best friend’s neighbor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This Trump supporting deplorable decided to harass and scare my friend’s neighbor over a dispute involving late-night fireworks. This little brat was blowing things up after midnight well past the 4th of July. When he was called out on the neighborhood texting app, he went into a homophobic rage. 
And now he is doing this crap. 
Thankfully he was not directly outside my friend’s house, but he was way too close for comfort. He knows who she is and where she lives. And when she told him to knock off the homophobic AIDs jokes, he did not take it well. 
This scares the crap out of me.  
Does he own a firearm? Does he have Army training as his shirt suggests? Is he unhinged? 
This little display does not inspire me with confidence that he won’t escalate further. 
How much civility should I show this fellow? 
The cops came and did absolutely nothing. He’s just roaming around free near my favorite person in the world. Should I send him a fruit basket with a note that says, “Please stop being scary near my friend. Would you like to go bowling on Friday?”
If these alt-right douchebags want civility, I say to them... YOU FIRST.
In the meantime, I’ll be up here on the high road doing my thing... 
Being “civil.”

Schooling a Mainstream Oncologist
After I composed my second article about Patrick Swayze's deplorable lost confidence in standard drug, a standard oncologist tailed me to CureZone and chastised me with the accompanying message:
I have been filling in as an oncologist/pathologist for more than 20 years now and I am profoundly stunned at the measure of falsehood that is spread on this site. I have been perusing this site for a long while now and have not possessed the capacity to locate any dependable data on disease anyplace here, either on the idea of tumor or on the most ideal approach to treat it.
The way you manhandle Patrick Swayze's passing to tirade against standard pharmaceutical and the suggestion that he would have been much better off if not relieved with elective solution homeless people any portrayal.
Here is the means by which I answered:
"You are stunned? I am horrified, sir!"
What's more, I sir am profoundly stunned at the deception that is always spread by standard medication and the world pharma businesses.
Is it true that you are glad for being in a calling that has bombed so wretchedly against disease since "The War on Cancer" was proclaimed right around forty years back and we were guaranteed a fix inside only a couple of years? What we have now, after all these numerous years and after every one of the billions that have been spent, is not a single standard fix to be seen and an enlarged $300-$400 Billion multi year industry whose proceeded with presence and benefit relies upon NOT finding a solution for growth.
In the interim, in spite of measurable controls that endeavor to put a constructive turn on the wretched aftereffects of standard tumor medications, more individuals are catching malignancy and biting the dust of growth consistently.
Are you mindful that you are a piece of a calling that is among the main three reasons for death in the U.S. by the AMA's own affirmation, and which has such an ignoble history of transforming mending sickness into overseeing ailment for benefit? It is safe to say that you are even mindful of your calling's history? If not, see my article:
Present day Medicine: How Healing Illness moved toward becoming Managing Illness
It isn't what is instructed in therapeutic school, yet it is difficult to contend with history and certainties.
I am additionally stunned that standard oncology keeps on utilizing the attempted and fizzled techniques for endeavoring to remove, wear out or poison out the insignificant side effects of tumor without tending to the main drivers of malignancy and gives careful consideration to anticipation or the parts of eating regimen, way of life, legitimate sustenance, expulsion of poisons from the body and condition, and stress.
Past being stunned, I am completely horrified at how standard pharmaceutical has smothered and mistreated common other options to their damaging unnatural medications and intrusive medicines. To get a thought of exactly how far your calling and the individuals who control it will go to avoid rivalry, I recommend you read "Governmental issues in Healing: The concealment and control of American Medicine." by previous New York State Assemblyman Daniel Haley. Dishonorable mind-boggling!
How can it be that more than 75% of oncologists studied said they would not take chemo on the off chance that they had disease because of it's low achievement rates and terrible symptoms but then in more than 75% of the cases these same oncologists endorse chemo for their malignancy patients? Would it be able to be on the grounds that the average oncologist infers around 75% of their pay from the markups they make on the chemo drugs they recommend?
Is your own business and way of life upheld in awesome part by administering dangerous chemotherapy drugs which are regularly themselves Class 1 cancer-causing agents? Are you mindful that the "best quality level" of chemo, Taxol, can bring about "broad metastasis months or even years after the fact" because of it causing "an enormous arrival of (disease) cells into dissemination", as was accounted for at the 27th Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Do you ponder, or would you be able to clarify, why this spread of malignancy isn't recorded among the symptoms of Taxol?
Did you get a "science-based" training at a college to a great extent subsidized by pharmaceutical organizations which - astound! amaze! - showed you that the best approach to treat ailment is to recommend endorsed meds made by think about who? Also, which educated basically nothing about eating regimen, aversion or regular choices?
One specialist companion of mine said that in his whole time in medicinal school he just experienced one single address on eating routine and nourishment. This same specialist, who turned into a MD just about 40 years prior, changed to naturopathic treatment around 15 years back in light of the fact that he saw that he was only overseeing side effects with drugs that prompted more sickness and more medications in an endless cycle. He said that it was an exceptionally productive framework, yet he turned into a specialist in any case since he needed to recuperate individuals, and standard medications and strategies weren't taking care of business.
On the off chance that you trust that suggesting that Patrick Swayze may have been exceptional off by utilizing elective strategies "bums portrayal", at that point how might you depict the way that standard solution has a for all intents and purposes zero percent multi year survival rate for pancreatic disease when there are numerous individuals still alive following five years who picked common and elective medicines for their pancreatic malignancies?
I am additionally shocked, however not amazed, that a standard medicinal training neglected to show you that, while you might have the capacity to murder or back off the expansion of an infection by starving the body, if the body is famished the tumor cells essentially expend the body's cells, tissues and organs around them and they will transform solid cells and continue increasing.
The chemotherapy your calling endorses 75% of the time worsens the issue by harming the insusceptible framework as well as by aimlessly killing and harming solid cells, causing ailing regions of the body which prompt extra infection and close down of different organs. Close down of the body (physical passing) is the possible outcome. In the event that medicinal school had appropriately shown you about the significance of nourishment and the part of the insusceptible framework, nature's first line of protection against growth and different disease, at that point you would realize that it takes every one of the supplements the body needs, including entire sustenances, fats and proteins, to deliver and keep up a solid safe framework.
Indeed, your calling definitely did ponders for Swayze by instructing him to "starve his body to starve his tumor" and watching him wind up biting the dust of squandering illness.
Tony Isaacs, is a characteristic wellbeing specialist and writer of books and articles about common wellbeing including " Cancer's Natural Enemy " and is a highlighted author for such regular and elective wellbeing scenes as Natural News, The Crusader, Healthiernewstalk and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Authored by Steve H. Hanke of the Johns Hopkins University. Follow him on Twitter @Steve_Hanke.Reporting of the historic Singapore Summit between President Donald J. Trump and Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un has been fascinating. The lead story in Pyongyang has been on the Supreme Leader’s Singapore walk around, and his desire to learn about economic development from the Singapore Strategy. In the western press, however, Pyongyang’s lead story is nowhere to be found.Kim Jong-un is clearly onto something. As anyone watching telecasts from Singapore during the past few days could observe, Singapore appears to be very prosperous. And it is. Measured by per capita income, Singaporeans are some of the richest people in the world. The economy is capitalist, and capitalist on steroids. That’s why Singapore has shot up from the depths of the Third World, at its founding, to the upper reaches of the First World, today.Singapore gained its independence in 1965, when it was, in effect, thrown out of Malaysia. At that time, Singapore was backward and poor — a barren speck on the map in a dangerous part of the world. If that wasn’t enough, it was experiencing race riots, which came close to igniting a civil war. Singapore’s per-capita income in 1965, adjusted for inflation, was roughly equivalent to that of poor countries like Albania, Angola, Armenia, Guyana, Kosovo, and Mongolia, today.But, at its founding, Singapore had a leader, Lee Kuan Yew. He had clear ideas about how to modernize the country — a strategy which I have dubbed the “Singapore Strategy.” This strategy contained the following elements:The first element was stable money. Singapore started with a currency board system — a simple, transparent, rule-driven monetary regime. Currency boards operate on autopilot, with automatic adjustments keeping the system in balance. Accordingly, currency boards deliver discipline to the spheres of money, banking, and fiscal affairs. For Singapore, the currency board provided stable prices and free convertibility of the Singaporean dollar, which was fully backed by foreign reserves and gold, at a fixed exchange rate. This established confidence and attracted foreign investment.The second element was that Lee Kuan Yew ruled out passing the begging bowl. Singapore refused to accept foreign aid of any kind. This is a far cry from many developing countries, where, when you pick up the paper, all you see are politicians and bureaucrats trying to secure foreign aid from someone, be it an NGO, a foreign government, or an international financial institution, like the World Bank. By contrast, signs reading “no foreign aid” were hung figuratively outside every government office in Singapore.The third element was that Singapore strived to have first-world, competitive private enterprises. This was accomplished via light taxation and light regulation, coupled with completely open and free trade — in short, policies that enabled Singapore to become one of the Asian Tigers.The fourth element in the Singapore Strategy was an emphasis on personal security, public order, and the protection of private property.The fifth, and final, element in the Singapore Strategy was a “small,” transparent government — a minimalist government that avoided complexity and “red tape”.To execute the strategy with precision, Singapore appoints only first-class civil servants and pays them first-class wages. Today, for example, the Singaporean Finance Minister’s annual salary is 1.3 million dollars (USD). In exchange for these high salaries, the Singapore Strategy demands that the government runs a tight ship, with no waste or corruption. By embracing Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore Strategy of stable money, no foreign aid, first-world competition, law and order, and a government that is free of waste and corruption, Singapore has transformed itself from a poor, barren speck to a global financial center.It should come as no surprise that Singapore today is one of the freest, most flexible, and prosperous economies in the world. Kim Jong-un clearly has his eye on a winning strategy. Maybe the Supreme Leader is a bit more clever than most western observers give him credit for.This piece was originally published on Forbes.com

I visited Singapore about a year ago.
It absolutely hums.
Busses are full of commuters at 6:30 am.
Streets are clean.
Restaurants operating and full.
Nice, warm evenings to walk around in and we felt really safe.
A very nice place to visit.

I've been to Singapore probably 2 or 3 times a year for the past six years. I love the food there, particularly in the hawker centers.  My wife has relatives there, so we are able to see quite a bit of everyday life, as opposed to staying on the tourist circuit.
A lot of what Lee Kwan Yew accomplished is slowly being dismantled by the current Prime Minister, who happens to be LKY's son.  Little Lee embarked on a growth at all costs platform and brought in quite a large number of foreign workers, displacing Singaporeans in the process (sound familiar?) and courted mainland China money to such an extent that a great many PRC's (as the locals now call mainland Chinese) came to the country.  The locals hate them and they hate the, mostly, Indian laborers that were brought in on major projects.
I first went to Sing in 2010 and I was greatly impressed by how happy the people were, in general.  As the years have passed, I am seeing fewer and fewer people with smiles on their faces and I'm seeing little cracks in the LKY legacy.  People are cutting lines.  The maintenance on the MRT system has gotten pretty bad, with frequent breakdowns on the older lines.  And where you would never hear any complaints from the old time locals, now the complaints are more than just whispers.
Don't get me wrong.  I still love going to Singapore.  But I'm afraid it is going to turn into just another one of the cleaner dirty shirts of the world.  It's fast getting far too crowded for its own good and that is going to be Little Lee's legacy.

Been there a 3 times since 2010 and yeah - the big change is people want OUT - Australia is a big draw and many people I talked to were slaving to earn their way into leaving S'pore
Too many im'grants driving down wages and people with options are exercising them
Spent the last week with a S'porean expatriate and she has no plans to go back voluntarily. It's a pressure cooker where the citizens have been sold the fuck out by the devil government - sound familiar?

singapore is a idiosyncratic mix of capitalist, socialist, authoritarian, monarchical elements, none of them necessarily bad. It is always nonsense to compare city states with large national states. In a city state it is absolutely obvious if a ruling clan/figure/oligarchy with dual citizenships messes things up. That's why they usually behave. Now compare this to the Ukraine or US.
I found that expats are usually not a good source of infomation as they mostly live in a parallel universe with little or only superficial knowledge of how local people live.

I’m unclear as to why so many foreigners believe that “my gold is safely stored in Singapore,” when the US military maintains a base there, and warships of the US Navy are a regular sight.

It's difficult to imagine North Korea going from extreme totalitarian regime that controls every aspect of it's citizen's lives and restricts, controls and monitors all communication to the extreme, moving to "light taxation and light regulation, coupled with completely open and free trade". You can't even own a computer without permission from the state, so how exactly are citizens going to transform themselves into modern free-market entrepreneurs with those kinds of road-blocks?

A lot of Americans would consider Singapore extreme. Vandalism of public or private property is punished by flogging. This is a severe beating administered by a wooden stick that removes skin and flesh from your back. Chewing gum and a lot of other common Western practices are illegal. Chewing gum is seized at customs. Crime is almost non-existent because it is punished by extreme measures, even for small offenses. This does not meet most Westerners definition of "small and light government." Libertarians would freak out.

Singapore keeps its diversity in check by rejecting identity politics, to the point of equating it with sedition.  There are no laws or internal policies that favor one group over another, though it's predictable that many people think this is itself unfair.
The West suffers because it's elevated identity politics to a moral imperative, which invites people to strive to regulate every aspect of life according to some racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, etc. scheme.

Some Singapore laws would give SanFran libtards
nightmares. No spitting on sidewalks, no gum chewing,
no graffiti (that one will get you caned), no public
urination and horror of horrors, no homosexual relations.

You left out pooping on the sidewalk - "Pooparoni, the San Francisco treat"  - aka Sidewalk Surprise.   Also San Franciscans love to smash car windows, enabling them to access any valuables within.   The resulting shower of tempered glass on the pavement gives the city an almost fairyland-like look.  Especially around sunset.

We (expats) used to joke that if you liked Nazi Germany you would love Singapore.
That was back in the late 60's.
Had an apartment in S'pore early 70's. Just a great place to live and play. I imagine still is.

America would do well to follow Singapore's lead.  I have been there 7 times to know how well off they are, compared to the U.S.,.  It's really like the difference between day and night.  But, the U.S. has always dragged ass at adopting anything, just like health care.  Its been 106 years since Teddy Roosevelt had introduced Universal Health care to America, and America still don't have it yet. Singapore does!    Or like 100 years after the civil war to institute civil rights, or takes 30 years to get legislation for an 8 hour work day, or 129 years before women got the right to vote. For America to adopt a model government and economy, like what Singapore has, would take them at least 200 years, if ever.

Spent three weeks there in Jan 2017 ... Know what? In three weeks I saw cop cars exactly twice, and saw another cop patrol at the airport - 2 cops and a dog that I presume was sniffing for narcotics or a real boss chili oil.
Asked some locals - where are all the cops?
Basically they sit in their station until called, or until you stop by for a complaint
Imagine that

China is the same way. You usually only see cops at the large intersections directing traffic at the rush hours. They don't walk beats. They don't patrol neighborhoods. They don't carry guns. They don't even drive fast. If you call them, they will come out from the station, and most things cops do in America are not even police issues in China. There are twice as many cops per capita in America as in China.
The first thing I notice when I visit America is the overwhelming presence of police.  American have gotten used to the police running their country.

Craniosacral Bodywork: A Balloon Filled With Hot Air Or Totally Effective Modality?
There are many topics I'm enamored of that I would like to search additionally. However, before I really do, I get that I have to know about the subject. If we go back to the times of a slower, easier life, this perfectly clearly meant going to "the stacks" of the local university library, along with libraries a little bit an excessive distance from your area. It involved using the Internet to dial up to website library IBM VM systems, and it conveyed that one was looking at the local Public Library for books, mags, and articles in newspapers concerning the subject of interest. Quite simply, a super dependence on libraries, in true to life and both virtual. Nowadays, I commence my goal with WikiPedia. I understand that the information presented is moderated, and is commonly appropriate, although on leading problems, some content articles could be skewed at times. It isn't the literal Word, routed from the Lord's Abode. Nevertheless, I've mainly been satisfied with the quality of job they do, & most content articles happen to be thoroughly sourced and they are a superb starting place for more weeks of learning. Below, I wrote an interesting article that is usually typically excerpted from WikiPedia articles and reviews. Even though I've rewritten it, I must even give credit and recognition where it is necessary. I'd be plagiarizing if I failed to, because a basic substitution of words isn't a new work, in line with the regulations. Thankfully, the Creative Commons license enables me to employ these interesting articles for my own intentions. Having said that, please delight in this quick jump into this issue. Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a kind of bodywork or some other therapy using peaceful touch to manipulate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium. A specialist of cranial-sacral remedy could also apply light details to a patient's backbone and pelvis. Practitioners think that this manipulation regulates the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and supports inches primary respiration". Craniosacral remedy originated by John Upledger, D. U. in the 1970s, because an offshoot osteopathy in the cranial subject, or cranial osteopathy, which was developed in the 1930s simply by William Produce Sutherland. In accordance with the American Cancer Culture, although CST might relieve the symptoms of stress and anxiety or strain, "available scientific facts will not support promises that craniosacral therapy helps in eliminating malignancy or any type of additional disease". CST provides been characterized as pseudoscience and its own practice has been termed quackery. Cranial osteopathy has received a similar assessment, with one 1990 paper getting there was zero scientific basis for any from the professionals ' promises the paper reviewed. The term craniosacral or cranial-sacral are based on the keywords cranium and sacrum, a bone fragments of the pelvis which links the cheapest lumbar vertebra to both hip bone fragments and the tailbone. Cranial osteopathy, a forerunner of CST, is originated simply by osteopath William Sutherland (1873-1954) in 1898-1900. While researching at a disarticulated skull, Sutherland was struck simply by the theory which the cranial sutures of the temporal bones where they meet the parietal bone fragments were "beveled, like the gills associated with a seafood, indicating articular mobility to get a respiratory mechanism. " John Upledger created Craniosacral therapy. Evaluating it to cranial osteopathy he had written: "Dr. Sutherland's finding regarding the overall flexibility of skull sutures led to the early research at the rear of CranioSacral Therapy - and both strategies impact the cranium, sacrum and coccyx - the similarities closing there. " However , present day cranial osteopaths mainly consider the two methods to be the comparable, but that cranial osteopathy provides "been educated to non-osteopaths beneath the name CranialSacro therapy. inch From 1975 to 1983, Upledger and neurophysiologist and histologist Ernest W. Retzlaff performed at Michigan State University while clinical experts and teachers. They set up a research team to research the purported pulse and additional study Sutherland's theory of cranial bone motion. Upledger and Retzlaff went on to create their particular results, which they interpreted since support pertaining to both the idea of cranial bone activity, and the idea of a cranial rhythm. Later testimonials of these studies have figured their analysis didn't meet up with enduring values to offer definitive substantiation meant for the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy and the living of cranial bone tissue movements. Professionals of both cranial osteopathy and craniosacral remedy assert that we now have little, rhythmic movements of the cranial bone fragments related to cerebrospinal liquid pressure or arterial force. The premise of CST is definitely that palpation of the cranium can be used to find this rhythmic movement from the cranial bone fragments and selective pressures may be used to change the cranial bones to accomplish a therapeutic end result. However , the amount of mobility and compliance of the cranial bones is known as controversial and can be a critically important concept in craniosacral therapy. Key respiratory system mechanism THE PRINCIPAL Respiratory Instrument (PRM), the device originally suggested by Sutherland, comes with been summarized in five ideas: The postulated intracranial fluid fluctuation can be defined by practitioners as an connections between four main components: arterial blood, capillary blood vessels (brain volume ), venous blood vessels and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Fluctuation from the cerebrospinal liquid There's analysis which demonstrates examiners are unable to measure craniosacral action dependably, as indicated by too little inter-rater contract among examiners. The writers of the analysis conclude this "measurement error may be sufficiently large to render many clinical options potentially erroneous". Alternate medication practitioners possess interpreted this consequence since a product of entrainment among individual and specialist, a theory which lacks technological assist. Whether craniosacral action can be dependably palpated continues to be a subject of question with studies making mixed outcomes. Mobility from the intracranial and intraspinal dural membranes In 1970, Upledger detected throughout a medical procedure around the neck what he referred to as a poor pulsating motion within the vertebral meninges. He attempted to hold the membrane still and discovered that he cannot due to potency of the action behind the mobility. Mobility of the cranial bones The extent that cranial bones can move is known as questionable and research of the lifestyle and amount of cranial motions have produced mixed results. Cranial sutures will be the areas where the eight cranial bone fragments are joined up with. During infancy, the cranial bone fragments are not rigidly fused to one another, yet are instead bound jointly by way of a membrane layer referred to as a fontanelle where two sutures join. Between your first and second 12 months of existence, the cranial bone fragments begin to go alongside one another and fuse as a normal part of development. Research examining age the closure of the cranial sutures feature reported blended findings. Closure provides been reported to occur during adolescence whilst other studies indicate better specific variability in the timing of this closure with fusion of the lambdoid stitch, sagittal stitch, and coronal sutures taking place in the 4th decade of lifestyle, but finish fusion of all sutures not occurring until advanced time (the eighth 10 years of life continues to be reported ); some studies have discovered that the sutures by no means rigidly fuse. According to Gray's Anatomy, "hen such sutures happen to be linked by sutural ligament and periosteum, nearly complete immobility benefits inches. Treatment The therapist gently palpates the patient's physique, and centers intently to the communicated movements. A practitioner's being of being in tune with an individual is described as entrainment. Sufferers often article feelings of deep rest after and during the therapy program, and may feel light-headed. While sometimes regarded as brought on by a rise in endorphins, study shows the consequences could possibly become brought about by the endocannabinoid program. You will discover couple of reports of adverse situations from CST treatment. In one analysis of craniosacral manipulation in patients with traumatic human brain syndrome, the incidence of undesireable effects from treatment was 5%. Reception According to the American Malignancy Contemporary society, although CST might ease the symptoms of anxiety or strain, "available scientific facts does not support cases that craniosacral remedy helps in curing cancer tumor or any type of various disease". Cranial osteopathy comes with received an identical evaluation, with 1 1990 newspaper finding there is no technological basis for just about any of the practitioners ' promises the paper analyzed. In Oct 2012 Edzard Ernst conducted a organized overview of randomized clinical trials of craniosacral therapy. He concluded that " the idea that CST is associated with more than non-specific effects isn't based on information from rigorous randomised clinical trials. inch Commenting especially on this bottom line Ernst commented on his blogging site that he previously picked the wording as "a courteous and technological way of expressing my thanks that CST is just phony. " Ernst also left a comment that the grade of five from the six studies he had analyzed was "deplorably poor, inches a emotion which echoed an Aug 2012 review that mentioned the "moderate methodological quality of the included studies. inch Ernst criticized a 2011 systematic critique performed simply by Jakel and von Hauenschild for addition of observational research and including research with healthy and balanced volunteers. This review figured the evidence platform surrounding craniosacral therapy as well as its efficiency was sparse and composed of research with heterogeneous designing. The authors of the review explained that currently available evidence was insufficient to draw final thoughts. The evidence bottom for CST is definitely sparse and lacks a proven biologically credible mechanism. From the absence of demanding, well-designed randomized managed studies, it's been characterized as pseudoscience, and its practice called quackery.
