How to Lie to Stupid People with Graphs
byVanderleunonDecember 3, 2021
Here is the Democrat Committee giving Biden a blow job on rewducing gas prices by two cents. Not the manipulation of the X and Y Axis.
Here’s what’s been happening since, oh I don’t know, November of 2020.
Which reminds me...
This chart is spectacular. Every element of it is great, from the exaggerated down arrow, to the dramatically increased size of the measures on the Y-axis to make two cents seem like a serious decrease. pic.twitter.com/xp3KlkhIbi
When some official pundit of the ruling class trots out graphs, charts, polls, statistics and such, I entirely dismiss them as pure confected nonsense. They are bereft of all meaning, lacking in any truth, and carry the birthmark of Goebbels. Our government, never really trustworthy, is now in the business of simply spewing out lies, damned lies and more damned lies—and lots of hollow threats, childish slander and invented History. Any man who believes what the US government says or does or writes or imagines or thinks or plans, is an out-and-out fool, a true simpleton of simpletons, one of Aristotle’s “natural slaves”.
Here is a statistic for you: “Experts claim that 100 percent of America’s ruling elites are pieces of shit.” I believe that one.

Remember saturday morning cartoons on tv in the 60’s when you were a kid?
After an hour or so Mom came in the living room and turned off the TV and told everyone to go outside and play.
Now, the cartoons are on all the time and Mom has left the building.
Alas, I have made Him cry many times. At last tired of my nonsense, He sent a few of His Angels to slap me around a bit. I got the message loudly and clearly. I still like Bugs though.

Yeah. I liked Bugs, too. But it was Wiley Coyote that introduced me to Murphy’s law and all of its derivations. I’ve experienced enactments of same countless times throughout my life.

I’m a “the rabid little kid jabbering ‘I wanna Easter egg I wanna Easter egg’ while rapidly pounding Fudd’s head with a claw hammer” guy, myself.

Figure lie and liars figure. Every statistic can be manipulated to make it appear any way you want it to.

If I read the ’18 Month Retail Price’ chart correctly the rise in the price of gasoline began immediately after the 2020 election.
I wonder why that would be.

They present just a tiny piece to keep the “True Believers” entertained. Indeed, like the morning cartoons. The entire detailed picture is too complex for the “children” to apprecdiate in the “correct” manner. The simple explanation goes down easier, even if it is a lie.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

The Y axis on the second chart is also manipulated….
No it isn’t, each step up is around $0.143.

Bugs Bunny was my god.
You bad man. You make Jesus cry.
Alas, I have made Him cry many times. At last tired of my nonsense, He sent a few of His Angels to slap me around a bit. I got the message loudly and clearly. I still like Bugs though.
