The Toyota WiLL Vi

 

Brought by reader/commenter Bill for you car buffs…

Have a look at this JDM car:

“We would not be surprised if you have never heard of the Toyota WiLL Vi. Though distinctively styled, this four-door saloon was produced for only two years on a low-volume schedule. It was also only available in Japan. And as if to try and guarantee its international invisibility, you cannot find a Toyota logo anywhere on the exterior or interior.”

(0305) It’s going to be a late start (maybe even 0800) because of the broken sleep. Below is an item to take us through to about 0800. (0354)

 

First take a look at the screenshot


Delving into someone’s background is one thing when AI data centres, using up just how much local water (?) do it … down to lil ole us doing it to see who is putting a certain point of view … and why. Toby Rogers is down on Wiles and other gatekeepers of DJT, plus down on DJT for the naivety of pushing Warp Speed.

So who is Toby Rogers? He writes for the Brownstone Institute:

The Brownstone Institute is a US-based nonprofit think tank founded in May 2021 by Jeffrey Tucker. It was created in response to pandemic-era government policies. The group promotes libertarian economic views, personal freedom, and critiques public health mandates. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Background and Focus

  • Founding: Created by Jeffrey Tucker alongside other writers and researchers following COVID-19 lockdowns.
  • Core Ideas: Focuses on individual liberty, free enterprise, and critique of state intervention during health crises.
  • Connections: Has close ideological alignment with figures from the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued against broad lockdowns in favor of focused protection. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Activities and Reception

  • Publishing: Issues daily articles, essays, and research commentary on economics, public health, and social philosophy.
  • Influence: Critics and mainstream scientific organizations argue the group promotes misinformation regarding vaccine safety and public health guidelines. Supporters view it as a necessary dissenting voice against government overreach and censorship

Ok. If you look at those behind Brownstone:

… you’ll see many Jewish authors, which is understandable because the brownstone house is a symbol of uptown, more salubrious New York:


In this case, we’re talking academics like Jeffrey Tucker, who is not Jewish:

Having done that cursory ferreting, my feeling is that the beef with Wiles is more accurately being down on Big Pharma and the Medical Establishment, a wider topic. I wonder if Donny understands all this.

7. There’s an attitude towards real Christianity

… which asks … just how biblical are you? And which bible? KJV or the revisionist NIV? And yesterday, we saw about translations … Hebrew to Greek to middle English … the pitfalls yet consistencies. Then this sort of thing:


Christian Science? Tom Cruise cults? Big $$$$ tele-evangelists? And what of secular bloggers such as myself? Is this the “lukewarm” written of in Revelation? Or is that just about the compromised?

It all needs thinking through. Personally, I’m highly suspicious of performative Farage types who screw their assistants. But am I a saint? No way known … hopefully a reformed baddy with some sort of moral compass now.

And so on.
