"It was in part due to the influence of Polybius on Montesquieu’s Spirit of the Laws (1748) that Polybius came to the attention of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Thomas Jefferson once thought the Histories important enough that he sent a copy to James Madison at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, although his attitude toward Polybius probably shifted as his own views inclined more in the direction of a strongly based democratic form of government. The most ardent admirer of Polybius’s theory of the mixed constitution was John Adams. In the year following the drafting of the US Constitution, while in London, he published A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, in which he strongly argued in support of the classical theory of a mixed government. The work consists of fifty-five letters on a variety of subjects relating to this theory, two of which (30 and 31) are devoted to Polybius. He argued that in fact it was possible to improve on Polybius’s idea state by dividing the legislative branch in two and segregating the more powerful elements of society:
‘The only remedy is to throw the rich and the proud into one group, in a separate assembly, and there tie their hands; if you give them scope with the people at large, or their representatives, they will destroy all equality and liberty, with the consent and acclamations of the people themselves. They will have much more power, mixed with the representatives, than separated from them. In the first case, if they unite, they will give the law, and govern all; if they differ, they will divide the state, and go to decision by force. By placing them alone by themselves, the society avails itself of all their abilities and virtues; they become a solid check to the representatives, themselves, as well as to the executive power, and you disarm them entirely of the power to do mischief’."

THE DATA
From 1992 to 2002, the Idaho state record northern pike remained unchanged in size, at 38 pounds, 9 ounces.
From 2002 to 2007, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in size by 3.2%, from 38 pounds, 9 ounces to 39 pounds, 13 ounces.
From 2002 to 2007, the 3.2% increase in size of the Idaho state record northern pike was infinitely greater than its unchanged weight from 1992 to 2002.
The growth rate of the northern pike in Idaho is increasing exponentially, going forward in time.
That’s not scientifically possible, at least not according to the rapidly-collapsing false Orthodoxy which holds that organisms increase in ever-smaller increments to a genetically-programmed maximum size, and that there is “no such thing as the ether”.
While the truth is that the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.
From 2007 to 2023, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in length by 1%, from 48.5 inches to 49 inches.
From 2007 to 2010, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in size by .8% , from 39 pounds, 13 ounces to 40 pounds, 2 ounces.
From 2007 to 2010, the .8% increase in size of the Idaho state record northern pike was 33% greater than its .6% average annual increase from 2002 to 2007.

From 2010 to 2023, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in girth by 16.7% , from 22.75 inches to 26.5 inches.
From 2010 to 2023, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in size by 1.6%, from 40.13 pounds to 40.76 pounds.
THE ARTICLES
On March 4, 2023, idfg.idaho.gov said “New state record northern pike caught in North Idaho: 40.76 pounds !”
Where author TJ Ross took the plainspoken “Idaho state record” and chopped it up, to make the subject far less searchable.
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say “On March 21, 2023, Hayden Lake in North Idaho produced a new certified state record northern pike. The record fish weighed a whopping 40.76 pounds, was 49 inches in length and 26.5 inches in girth – a true monster of a fish !”
TJ basically restated the headline, right down to the exaclamation point. That repetition is a violent command to the subconscious of the Coincidence theorist reader to stop reading immediately.
The article goes on to say “The record was previously held by a fish that was also caught in North Idaho, in Lower Twin Lake. The fish, caught in 2010, weighed 40.13 pounds, was 50.75 inches long and 22.75 inches in girth.”
Here, TJ goes out of his way to avoid stating the name of the northern pike. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
He also omits the name of the person who caught it, to make the subject less searchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Did you notice how he omitted the margin between the records, to make it more difficult to discern the scope of the increase in size of the northern pike in Idaho?
That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So, I had to do the math.
From 2010 to 2023, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in girth by 16.7% , from 22.75 inches to 26.5 inches.
From 2010 to 2023, the Idaho state record northern pike increased in size by 1.6%, from 40.13 pounds to 40.76 pounds.
I finally found another article, from 2017, which said “Idaho’s certified weight record northern pike weighed 40.15 pounds and measured 51.5 inches, caught in Lower Twin Lake by Kim Fleming in August 2010.”
Armed with Kim’s name, I was quickly able to find “State Record Pike Caught in Twin Lakes”, an uncredited khq.com article from August 6, 2010.
Where the uncredited author redacted “Idaho” from “Idaho state record” and then cut “northern” from “northern pike”, both under the false guise of familiarity.
Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
For those unaware, anytime an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
The uncredited Intelligence operative from khq.com went on to say “On Friday, Kim Fleming and his friend went trout fishing on Twin Lakes, just north of Rathdrum. To his surprise he ended up reeling in a record-size Northern Pike. The fish measured at 40 lbs. 2 oz. Fleming spent the afternoon at Idaho Fish and Game verifying his catch. He said he spent more than ten minutes struggling with the fish before he finally pulled it in.
Bob Ringer of Post Falls held the previous record of 39 lbs. 13 oz. since 2007.”
Where the words “fishing”, “reeled in”, “catch”, “struggling with the fish” and “pulled it in” are all in place to reinforce the false meme that far larger northern pike had been out there in Idaho, all along, only nobody had pursued them with the proper skill or assiduousness previously.
The word “surprise” was used because the words “mystery”, “baffled” and “puzzled” are memes, used, among numerous similar variants, whenever anyone in the wholly-controlled-and-coopted Political, Academic, Scientific and Media establishments wants to lie about, well, basically anything; one of those many variants is “surprised”.

From 2007 to 2010, the Idaho state record increased in size by an annual average of .3%.
On April 19, 2007, spokesman.com published “Ringer catches humdinger, sets record for Idaho pike”.
Where author Rich Landers redacted “state” from “state record”, and deviously separated the word “Idaho” from “Idaho state record”, to make the subject far less searchable.
Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
As a bonus, he redacted the word “northern” from “northern pike”, under the false guise of familiarity.
That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say "The anglers went immediately to Fins and Feathers Tackle Shop, where the spawned-out fish was officially weighed at 39 pounds, 13 ounces and measured 48 1/2 inches long, 27 1/2 inches in girth.
The lunker was a bit of a surprise to Idaho Fish and Game biologist Joe DuPont.
‘New state record pike were being caught regularly out of Coeur d’Alene 15 to 20 years ago, but then there got to be so much pressure, it was hard for the pike to get that big before they’d get caught,’ he said.
The last state record pike caught out of Lake Coeur d’Alene was a 38-pound, 9-ounce fish caught April 11, 1992. A Hayden Lake pike tied that record on March 19, 2002."
