How "Stuff" Like RBC 1 & 2 Happens....



T-dee, T-dumb !
" Back in the early days of the Iraq debacle, I learned that the military has a term for how highly dubious ideas become not just accepted, but viewed as certainties. 

 "Incestuous amplification" happens when a closed group of people repeat the same things to each other and when accepting the group's preconceptions, becomes a necessary ticket to being in the in-group." 
                               
                                     - Paul Krugman 
(1/29/2013)
Dubious ideas created by a closed group, behind closed doors, operating with unaccountable closed minds create 
"arbecy" 
[rhymes with lunacy!]

 incestuously amplified...
"Sure has a familiar ring...
[incestuously amplified]
... Loud & Clear !"
