Kayfabrication of the US Senate & economics.

Fiat money, String Thy, “labor shortages”, COVID origin, CRT, 2wks to ‘Flatten the Curve’, etc. I don’t think people take me seriously that it’s now everywhere.

But that is the claim: Lack of growth led to Kayfabe becoming universal.

Claim: when it comes to inflation and growth, Economists don’t even understand the theory of their *own* price and quantity indices mathematically:

WILD IDEA: Maybe the economists don't actually understand what is going on right now? https://x.com/disclosetv/sta/disclosetv/status/1392488787838742536

The problem of inflation index calculation has not been adequately updated since Ragnar Frisch destroyed Irving Fisher’s attempt to axiomatize economic indices following the last great advances of F. Divisia and A. Konüs on continuous and welfare indices respectively.

Economists are holding their own field back by retaining their freedom to just cook up any revised index they want.

It’s as if physicists retained the right to define temperature differently every year based on a closed door meeting and manufactured new thermometers thereafter.

@EricRWeinstein

If you’re going to push us all to move to “true” “economic” indices & chain them to reflect dynamic actors (or to disguise true inflation!), you would end up chaining ordinal preferences. And you can’t do that without gauge theory because it is a problem in parallel transport.

Watch the US CPI revisions and methodology going forward. People who like to print money tend to want to change their definition of inflation and therefore don’t like anyone taking away freedom to make up methodologies to suit their political objectives involving wealth transfer.

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Moral: whoever constructs CPI and GDP numbers in a dynamic economy is in a position to fake higher growth and lower inflation if they are also in a position to stop the field from debating methodological advances that would restrict the freedom to make up index number recipes. 🙏

Our fact checkers have one job. Only one reason for being. They are supposed to focus on facts only & check them.

This is not fact checking @PolitiFact. This is consensus checking. That has nothing to do with facts.

You aren’t a fact checker. You opened us all to groupthink. https://t.co/wY4NgkWXML

Most of us flawed humans aren’t so bold as to say we are the bastions of truth. We get things wrong. We struggle. We lie at times. We appeal to experts. We throw up our hands. We remain silent.

Saying you are a fact checker is a BOLD claim. Hence, the need for a total rethink.

@EricRWeinstein

Increasingly I see a story about some factual thing w quotes, dates, or numbers & data. It is in @nypost or @FoxNews. And I think “Wow. That would be insane. Better see how the @washingtonpost or @npr is covering the same story so I don’t get spun.”

And I find *zero* coverage.

11:26 PM · Jul 26, 2022

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

That is new. In the old days everyone would cover the same stories from different perspectives.

But now what I regularly see in place of that is a spun version of a real story on one side of the aisle and NO STORY reported by the other.

Is anyone else noticing such a shift?

11:26 PM · Jul 26, 2022

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

To sum up the claim: We are no longer separately spinning a common reported reality which we are all forced to acknowledge. It’s now just two different notions of what can be ignored and what must be spun. If that is true, it’s a big shift towards ungovernability.

The title of this @joerogan clip from #1945 is literally: "We might be faking a UFO situation."

OBVIOUSLY.

As I have said before, "When we do something secret and cool, we generally pair it with something fake." This is standard operating proceedure (e.g. Operation Overlord was D-Day/Operation Fortitude was a Faked Norway Invasion). This is what 'Covert' means. Covert means 'Deniable'. Not secret, but *deniable*.

Imho, This @nypost article is **NOT** the big story. That is coming.

CLAIM: We will find that there is a minimum of *one* pair of fake/real programs and that it is much much bigger than the hazing ritual being reported. But, more importantly, there are likely many more such pairs of REAL/FAKE programs in this area.

Yes: we fake UFOs. And yes, there is a REAL Aerospace program that hides under cover of the FAKE UFO program.

But this is not about an Air Force Hazing ritual. This isn't a prank. This is a whole life ruining program where we will find that we regularly destroy the minds of our own people with disinformation and threats to their mental health and families. Military heroes. Scientists. IC spooks.

The real FAKE programs are bigger than this. And the REAL program is also bigger than just conventional Aerospace. I wish to mark this claim now: eventually, this is going to be about the actual SCIENCE of Physics.

I don't think Quantum Gravity as it is practiced is a real research program. It is the obvious candidate for the "inhibitor" that, when added to research, stagnated physics...and it didn't come out of some longstanding program from the birth of quantum mechanics. It came out of nowhere right before we stopped making progress on the Lagrangian of the real world.

This is going to explain what @pmarca keeps talking about with @bariweiss, @bhorowitz and others: we took whole areas of physics off line after the Manhattan project and that was *NOT* limited to just the Nuclear Physics of nuclear warheads.

@EricRWeinstein

CLAIM: These FAKE and REAL programs will keep going and extend to "The Golden Age of General Relativity". We will eventually learn that the mysterious philathropists Roger Babson and Agnew Bahnson who funded Louis Witten and Bryce deWitt (respectively), along with others were (obviously) NationalSecurity cutouts. They were real people giving cover to some major Post-Manhattan physics thing.

From Australian Intelligence (circa 1971) we have this which I both believe and hypothesized LONG before finding it:

It's time to come clean. The disclosure is coming. One way or the other. A so-called "Limited Hangout" is impossible in 2025. This is not going to work. There is too much information out here already:

1:51 AM · Jun 12, 2025

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Claim: We are going to learn that just as public work on chain reaction physics mysteriously vanished during the Manhattan Project, research in fundamental physics changed character TWICE. Once in the late 1960s-early 1970s with the Mansfield Amendment, after the quark model and spontaneous symmetry breaking and then more dramatically around 1983-1984 shortly after the catastrophic disclosures of Howard Borland and John Aristotle Philips to handle the "Streisand Effect" problem, which had no such name at the time.

Eventually we learned why progress immediately stalled in physics due to secrecy and the building of the atomic bombs. We have an obvious second candidate and we aren't allowed to ask questions about why we aren't getting back to real physics in open universities. The dangerous and powerful kind that can build prosperity, weapons, energy, travel, propulsion and insight.

We have now found out that we were lying to our own people. As I predicted to you all.

I predict that this is **way** more interesting. This revelation about the lies is just the beginning. And it may have nothing whatsoever to do with NHI or flying saucers.

But either way, let us be bold enough to ask for the *full* lie. About our own history. Our science. Our Intelligence Community. Our Defense Contractors.

It's our country after all. At least supposedly...

Let’s try a science post to show you the problem with the hijacking of science:

CLAIM: Quantum Gravity has been a 41 year disaster for physics. EVERYONE knows the String Theory leadership told us exactly what they were about to do, and then FAILED physics.

A mitigated disaster:

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

Everyone who has followed fundamental physics closely since ‘84 knows this is true.

If science were healthy we would discuss that. But we can’t, because we have unwanted leaders. Those leaders are refereeing their OWN games. And, they win all games that they both play & referee.

4:59 AM · Dec 10, 2025

Eric Weinstein

@EricRWeinstein

So has physics failed you? No! Fundamental Physics is fine. But it got hijacked by a crew. That crew created a cult called “The Only Game In Town” or TOGIT. Literally. That is what they called it. Pure hubris and murder.

TOGIT failed you. And TOGIT hijacked fundamental physics for 41 years. But science didn’t.

Fundamental physics is sitting right where it was overpowered, mugged, robbed, and tied up by String Theory and Quantum Gravity and left for dead in 1984.

It’s fine. The Standard Model is amazing. As is general relativity. In fact: it’s totally spectacular. We could get back to work tomorrow if we could get out from under the cult and get our own resources back.

But we can’t yet run De-Stringification schools, undo Quantum Gravity Indoctrination and get back to actual science. We are still run by zombie ideologies refereeing fundamental physics. Or what is left of it. And that is why I post like this. It’s a fight to get you to grasp what happened.

Similarly for COVID Zoonotic origin theory. Or Economic Theory and Neo-Classical theory. Or Neo-Darwinism. Etc. Etc. You got hijacked. We all did.

One and all. And I am suggesting we take OUR cockpits back.

We picked up this weird Quantum Fetish in the 1980s.

CLAIM: Discoveries in Classical Field theory have been FAR more important historically for our deep understanding of the physical world than Quantum theory. As late as 1986, this wasn’t even that controversial of an observation.

Further, the theory of Geometric Quantization can be interpreted as saying that classical Hamiltonian systems are roughly *Self Quantizing*. Which is huge and rectified a huge oversight.

I am not sure why I am constantly supposed to ooh and aah about all things quantum (“It’s entangled!!!” “The cat is both dead AND alive!” “It goes through both slits!!”) while pretending that our classical field theory is just a low energy effective theory.

This should be reversed in my opinion. Perhaps we aren’t making progress following the Quantum Fetishists with their Quantum Gravity that doesn’t work.

HERETICAL CLAIM: Classical Theory is FAR more important than the failed Quantum Gravity crowd understands. We would be much further ahead if we stopped the quantum fetish. The world *IS* quantum. But it is *also+ likely classical in a way that is equally if not more profound. We should split the field into quantum supremacists and mixed Quantum / Classical people and see if the second group doesn’t outpace the fetishists within the first.
