Our descent into City Airport was like the drop-ship scene in the movie Aliens. The BA CityFlyer Embraer 190, a narrow-body twin-engine airliner, rolled over into a 40-degree bank and started bucking like a mechanical bull. Simulated “chimes” began chiming frantically. Flight attendants bolted for their seats. The German businessman in the seat beside me, obviously a nervous flyer, immediately adopted the “brace” position. I gripped his shoulder reassuringly and shouted into his ear like a drunken redneck,
Some readers seem to be a bit unclear about the nature of the "story" I referred to in the piece. It's about the history of the post-Cold War period, the early 1990s up to now. I presented an extremely condensed version of it at a conference in London in April. Here it is again ...
"In order to understand what happened to the Left (i.e., how it became the New Normal Left), you have to understand the history of global capitalism over the last 30 years or so. Actually, you have to go back a bit farther, back to the early 20th Century, when the Great Ideological Game was still afoot. Back then, capitalism, having overthrown the aristocracies, was on the march, transforming the world into one big marketplace. It was challenged by two opposing ideologies, fascism and communism. They fought it out. Long story short, capitalism won.
Global capitalism (“GloboCap”) was born. It’s one big global-capitalist world now. It has been since the early 1990s. GloboCap has no external adversaries, so it has nothing to do but Clear and Hold, i.e., wipe out pockets of internal resistance and implement ideological uniformity. Which is what it has been doing for the last 30 years, first, in the former Soviet bloc, then, in “The Global War on Terror,” and finally, in our so-called “Western democracies,” as we have just experienced up close and personal during the shock-and-awe phase of the rollout of the New Normal, and are continuing to experience, albeit somewhat less dramatically.
In other words, GloboCap is going totalitarian. That is what the New Normal is. It is not your granddad’s totalitarianism. It is a new, global-capitalist form of totalitarianism. It displays a number of familiar features — suspension of constitutional rights, official propaganda, goon squads, censorship, ubiquitous symbols of ideological conformity, gratuitous restrictions of freedom of movement and other aspects of everyday life, hatred and persecution of official “Untermenschen,” segregation, criminalization of dissent, mob violence, book burning, show trials, etc. — but there won’t be anyone goose-stepping around in jackboots shrieking about “the master race.” It’s not that kind of totalitarianism.
To understand it (which it would behoove us to do), we need to understand global-capitalist ideology, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. Global capitalism has no ideology … or, rather, its ideology is “reality.” When you have no ideological adversaries, you don’t need an ideology. You’re basically God. “Reality” is whatever you say it is, and whoever disagrees is a “science denier,” or a “conspiracy theorist,” or a “malinformationist,” or some other type of deluded “extremist.” You don’t need to argue ideology with anyone, because you have no ideological opponents. Society is divided into two fundamental groups, (a) “normal people,” who accept “reality,” and (b) the “deviants” and “extremists,” who do not. Your political and ideological opponents are pathologized, preemptively delegitimized. After all, who would argue against “reality” except liars and the clinically insane?
Yes, of course, there is intramural political and ideological conflict within the confines of so-called “normality,” just as there is intramural competition between global corporations, but challenging the ideological system itself is impossible, because there is no ground outside it from which to mount an attack. This is probably the hardest thing for most of us to come to terms with. There is no ideological territory outside global capitalism. There is no “outside.” There are no external adversaries. There are only insurgencies, and counterinsurgency ops.
They do indeed have an adversary. GloboCap have positioned themselves as a pyramid under the coordinated power and authority of an invisible god who wishes to be like the Most High. His (Lucifer's) plan is to usurp the authority given to Christ Jesus the Lord who is coming back with his saints to defeat this god in the final battle of Armageddon, by giving his false reality to the world in the form of a false messiah who will exercise great power and wonders in the heavens and require all men to worship him and take his mark. You're missing the spiritual link.
We cannot dissociate Global capitalism from usury. Since global usury is the result of an ideology, we cannot say that Global capitalism has no ideology.
People would be concerned about the power of large corporations, so they would demand that the government Do Something. The rules and regulations thereby induced would make life much harder for small companies than for large, who just filled up a room with lawyers and accountants. This consolidated power in both corporations and government. We need rules that give the economic advantage to smaller companies, and tend to cause a large company to fission into smaller ones. It also needs to be easy to start a new company; you want to make it easy for a group of bright, young executives and engineers to leave their parent company and start their own, infuriating their old bosses. (I used to tell people that as long as the corporations support the Republicans the Democrats will do their bidding.)
I have a different story, or a bigger picture story that the attempted take over of the planet by these... forces, will be ultimately subsumed in. Their plans don't work. They lose.
It ends well, but it's really rocky going through it. Has to do with very old planetary and cosmic-sized narratives we have not been privy to and frequencies changing and humans finally breaking free from a slave-system, we thought was the world. Lots has to be shed, and revealed in the process.
It's got a really good ending. I can't prove any of it.
My story builds on yours, Kathleen. My story is that we, the human beings, do what we're best at: imagination. When we tap into that creative force, we are powerful beyond measure. Have you ever seen someone heal themselves from an "incurable" illness? I have. Have you ever heard of a 13-year-old (or younger!) hack into the "unhackable" new digital fortresses set up by teams of cybersecurity experts? We all have. Stories run the universe. If you believe a story of doom, then you will live yourself right into it.
My story is that we stop telling ourselves we're powerless. My story is that we see ourselves as fully victorious. My story imagines an outcome that, even if I can't see it clearly right now, is centered on "breaking free from a slave-system we thought was the world." (Thanks, Kathleen!) Like her, I have no proof. All I have is my own lived experience and the story I tell about it. It's all any of us have, in the end.
Used to be one of my favorite dystopian tragi-comedies until our world became it. Sarcastic, pretend dystopia is loads of fun but actual, dystopian reality is just NO fun.
However, don't mind my current aversion tho cuz emotionally & visually this film is still a stunning piece of work & packs a real wallop. Look at your screens, it's BRAZIL.
"Somewhere in the 20th Century" - Gilliam was only off by about 3+ decades or so.
Apr 9, 2022 - Brazil is a 1985 dystopian black comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam, Charles McKeown, and Tom Stoppard. The film stars Jonathan Pryce and features Robert De Niro, Kim Greist, Michael Palin, Katherine Helmond, Bob Hoskins, and Ian Holm. Added date 2022-04-09
Absolutely. I always deeply appreciate his highly insightful analysis of the state of the world. It's not pretty, and I don't shrink from seeing it in its grim totality. We can't fight what we can't see.
He said that if anyone had a different story he'd honestly love to hear it. Ergo my version. I'm interested in hearing everyone's.
I know that one. And I agree, it's going to be a bumpy ride. But the so-called "eagles" and their panopticon vision contains a huge blind spot. Evil eventually eats itself. It's our job to help them finish the meal faster, and save who we can along the way.
It is! And I think that's why it's so important to lift one another up, whenever possible. Staying positive amongst other positive people is so much easier...
Indeed the conflict is beyond ideology. That nostrum is so yesterday. Whether the agency behind GloboCap as Hopkins so astutely terms it, is purely of human derivation, based on a combination of greed and fear, or some form of spiritual malaise which emanates from a dimensional reality quite different from the one which appears to have overcome the senses of a significant proportion of humanity.
The power which activates the banal acceptance by many of a reality totally deracinated from any connexion with the natural world...as well as an adumbration which masks the deeper reality of Cosmic Consciousness...is based on a materialistic ethos with it's so-called "economy" precisely centered on consumerism.
Even in an economically challenged rural area, such as the single stoplight county in which I was born and currently reside, one can learn a lot from the art of dumpster-diving.
Early in the 20th Century, the term "tuberculosis" had yet to achieve medical acceptance. The then ruling paradigm was that so and so "died of consumption". One brief consideration of the eastern Pacific vortex of floating plastics and micro-plastics is a very evident example of the fact that westernized cultures, particularly here in the U$$A, happens to be the very antithesis of the original meaning of the word economy.
As inflationary policies inevitably lead to skyrocketing prices in the marketplace of manias, people are gradually awakening to the common sense reality that the happy hayride is just about kaput. Buy it now or pay more for it later. Engineered obsolescence drives a huge section of the marketplace of madness. Oh, the icemaker no longer functions on the five year old refrigerator. Buy a new one...even if the thin plastic drawers have been engineered to break down in fewer than five years.
Get the picture? Semi-conscious ecocide is in high fashion. Even in my somewhat economically distressed rural area the amount of perfectly usable clothing can be found on a regular basis in the local dumpsters. One of the most amazing finds includes large numbers of usable work-boots. New ones of higher levels of quality average over two-hundred bucks nowadays. As the false economy becomes more and more constipated as a matter of course, those elements of the public which are still racking up those credit card debts are becoming an ever thinning demographic.
To walk the spirit path, one may need to overcome those inculcated bad habits, beginning with simple things like hanging onto those boots. RedWings, from Red Wing, Minnesota is one of the last boot producers remaining right across the fruited plain. If there comes about an economic collapse, which I feel is inevitable, while may or may not be immanent, do bear in mind that those "boots are made for walking". Meanwhile, here in poverty country, I'm amazed at those "side-by-side" vehicles which suddenly have become must-haves for the credit card set. Most of the folks actually walking in this little village, get their bits of exercise out walking their housedogs, likely more than half neurotic because they cannot avail themselves of those porcelain gods which happen to be one of those human conveniences.
For one born in the first half of the 20th Century, contemporary reality resolves as a wild, wild world of willing workers and compulsive consumers.
Right On! Recently, my old belt finally gave out where the leather meets the metal. As a fellow 78er, I probably purchased it 30-40 years ago. Checked out several new ones and finally bought one for $25 bucks. Made in Mexico. Very thick leather, yet extremely flexible. So decent belts, designed to last and last, evidently are no longer made in the "land of the free and home of the brave." Full blame is on those out-sourcing bastards who are all about bottom line and nothing about quality and truly serving the public.
The conflict is way beyond ideology; we are not informed about these larger stories. We are treated as pawns in longstanding, unspoken chess game that generates wars and fake pandemics and doesn't think twice about killing off millions. They think they own the place and for a long time they've been running it. I genuinely think that's coming to an end (though no idea what that means in terms of time). The more of us who don't comply and don't support their anti-human agendas, the better outcome for us, obviously.
As CAF has said, right now it's 'duck-n-dive'; figuring out how to survive this tail-end of the last-gasps collapse.
I'll have to reread your thoughtful comment. Thanks.
Currently we are ruled by multigenerational psychopaths, who are wont to hire as their management teams fellow psychopaths such as Heinrich Kissinger and the late Zbigniew Brzezezinski...their prime minions. As one scans through the various levels of upper management, we discover a high proportion of psychopaths and sociopaths. Down the line a ways, particularly in the Di$trict of Corruption...but throughout the fruited plain, competence levels are rapidly diminishing. When one looks at the $tate Department, for example, many of their primaries happen to be Tribally well-connected non-entities who, often as "legacies" such as Bu$h the Le$$er, matriculated from the Ivies and similar elitist institutions.
With livestock, out -breeding to unrelated animals can produce offspring that are healthier and more productive than either parent. It's called "hybrid vigor". Continual inbreeding of limited lines results in weakened and unhealthy stock.
We're seeing the same results both physiologically and metaphorically among the "elites". Psychopath x psychopath = sick psychopath = self destruction.
The rest of us need to have more poison-free kids.
Insightful take. Whether Anglo, Talmudist or somehow made it into the upper echelons of the system, those breeding customs leave detritus. Amish folk have relatively recently moved into the area. Lots of cousin marriages. It seems to hit the girls the most, with a disproportionate number having this beaten-down but resigned air about them. Amongst the elites, many of the male offspring are not only psychopathic, but in many ways deeply devolved and grossly incompetent.
Girls - who are basically chattel in the Amish culture. Their beaten-down appearance may have nothing to do with inbreeding.
I remember seeing a flock of inbreds at the Indiana State Fair, circa late 90's. They all had recessive traits (blonde, blue-eyed), they had flat faces (long thin moon faces?), walked with a slight slump - not quite hunchback, but headed there, so that it looked as if their knuckles would drag the ground.
I can imagine that the breeding pool is very limited for the Amish. I suspect more leave than enter that community.
We’re reading runes, chicken entrails and tea leaves identically. Possibly because we don’t need to visit or become soothsayers to be pretty sure what’s coming.
Those who become aware of the UN2030 SDGs have one of these responses:
1. It’ll never happen here. We’re in a democracy.
2. It’s impossible to control people like you’re saying.
3. What’s your problem with this set of goals? They look pretty benign to me.
It is quite obvious to me that the perpetrators intend not only totalitarian tyranny, using digital ID & cashless CBDC (and they’ll succeed like taking candy from a baby if people fail to hear or respond to our warnings) but they’re going to do awful things, armed with the totalitarian power over INDIVIDUALS. No dictator has ever had control over every individual, beyond a handful of political opponents. Not only is this dictatorship going to be global, so there’s nowhere to run, it’ll be aimed surgically at whatever their real agenda is.
I’m of the view that mass murder on a hitherto unimaginable scale is their default end game. Does anyone think they’ll tie us in knots, then work assiduously to keep the huge, steady flow of imported food, pharmaceuticals, fuel, manufactured goods etc going?
Why would they do that?
We’re surplus and I think they’ll do what a farmer does when they realise they’re in the wrong business, raising livestock, when there’s more money, less risk & almost no effort involved in solar farming: they exit the livestock business by sending them to the abattoir.
So my expectation is that they’ll require occasional compliance with additional jab “recommendations” issued by WHO. The jabs won’t be vaccines but that’s they’ll call them. Instead, being mRNA based preparations, they will injure, main & kill, like c19 “vaccines” do. Only they’ll have benefitted from calibration of the killing weapon. The type of toxicity & the propensity to kill can be adjusted by the design choices of the evildoers.
Only if sufficient of us decline digital ID can we perhaps avoid this fate. Refusing it will involve some immediate restrictions, but avoiding those by getting the digital ID means you don’t gain a number. You lose absolutely everything else but that number.
Even if it turns out I’m wrong, I ask that we act as if I’m going to be right. Because you’ll lose your freedom anyway and then permanently be the in grip of clever, diabolical lunatics, who can kill you at any time they choose. Yes, you particularly. Remember, this totalitarian tyranny is personal, open-ended and has no observable end date.
It doesn't matter whether you and I are exactly right about the details. Totalitarianism always ends up somewhere nightmarish, and we almost never see it coming, until it is too late. We expect it to show up in the costume it wore last time, but that's not how history generally works.
My husband and I have lamented, for years, that people have no situational awareness, no common sense, and no independent thought. It's a virtual trainwreck.
One of my little gigs here in the Northwoods of Minnesota is to randomly ask people if they know anyone down in the Sitties if they know anyone down there who has any common sense. Most folks simply laugh.
What I see is exactly what is described in cryptic detail in the prophetic books of OT, Matthew and Revelation. It fascinates me nonetheless to read the thoughts from the minds of intellects who have shined the light on the current blight of humanity, though devoid of spiritual understanding. It ends very well on the other side of imminent, great trouble but you want to be on the right side. Trust the Lord Jesus Christ and his redemptive work on our behalf to be reconciled to God. Our souls are in the balance of good vs evil. Evil wins a bit longer with much destruction before victory arrives.
True enough about the unfolding of history. It is not...as the materialist lunatics insist...progressive. Rather, it is cyclical. There is a spiral dance to it. However, the big picture is shrouded in mist, fog and smoke...the latter reminding me of the probability that the regime in Ottawa, Canuckistan is itself responsible for all those forest fires which have been breaking out recently. Object/goal: Possibly to drive the survivors into the WEF's Fifteen minute cities...total digital AI control mechanisms already being emplaced with all those 5G towers allegedly for the delectation of gamers and similar gotta get it yesterday freaks.
Is it time to sell your cloak and buy a sword? (And a cleaver, machete, axe, hatchet, pitchfork, scythe and shield.) Enough words have been spoken and "they" will not listen. We need to come together and demand our sovereignty. "I don't want no peace I need equal rights and justice" - Peter Tosh.
My basic philosophy is seek peace and have love for all people. However, we have an inherent right to defend our self and family. Recall the genocides in our history. Too many people were willing to deny and ignore what was occurring around them, ultimately being destroyed by acquiescence in the face of tyranny.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago
Put on the armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places... stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (speaking here to those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who, alone, can make men righteous)
"The general sentiment of mankind is that a man who will not fight for himself, when he has the means of doing so, is not worth being fought for by others, and this sentiment is just. For a man who does not value freedom for himself will never value it for others, or put himself to any inconvenience to gain it for others. Such a man, the world says, may lie down until he has sense enough to stand up. It is useless and cruel to put a man on his legs, if the next moment his head is to be brought against a curbstone.
A man of that type will never lay the world under any obligation to him, but will be a moral pauper, a drag on the wheels of society, and if he too be identified with a peculiar variety of the race he will entail disgrace upon his race as well as upon himself. The world in which we live is very accommodating to all sorts of people. It will cooperate with them in any measure which they propose; it will help those who earnestly help themselves, and will hinder those who hinder themselves. It is very polite, and never offers its services unasked. Its favors to individuals are measured by an unerring principle in this—viz., respect those who respect themselves, and despise those who despise themselves. It is not within the power of unaided human nature to persevere in pitying a people who are insensible to their own wrongs and indifferent to the attainment of their own rights. The poet was as true to common sense as to poetry when he said,
There’s one issue with your argument, with which I otherwise agree. If they kill a big chunk of the population, the ability to produce and profit goes down. If they muck it up, it goes away entirely. You can’t build and maintain your widgets without the widget builders and fixers.
I agree with your argument because the setup is obvious and COVID was a test run. If they develop an “antidote” or prophylactic against whatever they inject us with, then they can choose who lives and who dies. If they do it over a long enough period of time, they will be able to tamp down claims of genocide.
I believe they’re not interested in money as you & I experience it. Note, the most powerful part of their weaponry is control of the world’s central banks, culminating in the BIS.
If as many expect, sovereign currencies are coming to an end, cashless CBDC become the new money.
That won’t be of interest to the perpetrators. They can issue any amount of it at will. Instead, ownership of real things will be all that matters: land, oil, gold, food.
Once digital ID & cashless CBDC are installed, they will be less concerned about the possibility that there may be a gradually expanding awakening. We’ll do what we’re told or computers, not humans, will deny us basic necessities of life.
Unfortunately they don’t need us in the world. We’re expensive to maintain.
That leads to the ghastly calculus that I outline, doing no more than echoing numerous statements & works that show a very long run concern that there are too many of “us”.
I don’t think your premise is incorrect. CBDCs are a tell in terms of minute control of every day existence. It’s also bring hastened because of two other things - the current fiat money system is being destroyed by the same people creating CBDCs, rendering money worthless, and the nascent cryptocurrency industry based on blockchain technology, which may represent an escape hatch for the little guy. Owning real assets is probably the smartest wealth preservation strategy. But they may not have gamed this out properly. Still need the muscle economy. Robots can’t do everything. They won’t get away with it. People, like you, are on to them. There are still enough people currently who will do whatever is necessary to stop these guys. It’s coming. I think the trigger is not far away, although we’ve waited too long already. Secondly, large groups of sociopaths are not a recipe for success. The infighting will get worse. I’m not saying this isn’t a deadly serious problem, because it is. It’s still surreal, which is one of the problems for the common man. Hard to parse the data when you are being misled continuously by the regime media.
"Unfortunately they don’t need us in the world. We’re expensive to maintain."
In another comment, I shared a passage from socialist writer Peter Frase describing how a genocidal ideology of "exterminism" could arise among the elite as increasing levels of automation turn the masses into a liability. He wrote in 2011, and his analysis — although perhaps too credulous toward the climate narrative — looks disturbingly consistent with stated Davos agendas. A pity "the left" in 2023 seems more interested in cheerleading big pharma and top-down thought control than its traditional opposition to the ruling class.
Very good, inexorable logic and also a frightening post.
I have long seen this as a battle for the very soul of humanity.
If we lose, most of us will be dispatched and the remaining skeleton crew will compete for crumbs from the overlords table with no hope of salvation. Deviation would result in material punishment like inability to move at all from one’s registered address and ultimately a non person who cannot even obtain food.
If we win, the most powerful oligarchs are going to have to be tried and after due process, I envisage almost all of them being executed.
The world cannot afford to have them scheming against the whole of humanity ever again.
We would need to introduce laws and regulations which will limit the ownership and power of money, patronage etc to tiny extents compared with today.
All the historic foundations would have to be ended and their net worth as assets or money distributed among what is presumably a very extended network of relatives and hangers on, minus whatever tax take Humanity 2.0 chooses to impose on the ultra wealthy.
"they’ll succeed like taking candy from a baby if people fail to hear or respond to our warnings"
How are these people meant to "hear or respond" to the "pretty sure what's coming" warnings that only serve to mirror/perpetuate/perpetrate the "THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE" message of the globalists?
Thank you. We’re going to need a lot of cells and people in them. I’m unaware of any at the moment. Mind you, that’s perhaps not surprising. What’s needed isn’t in my own nature. Hopefully there are others for whom it’s doable.
They can't kill billions too swiftly or indiscriminately without threatening the stability of the system itself. All those yachts and private jets still depend on complex global supply chains that need functioning governments and knowledgeable people to maintain them. If depopulation is the endgame, it has to be managed carefully. A controlled demolition, rather than a sudden collapse.
The system is corrupt, inward and outward. It needs replacing under leadership of righteousness and peace. It's coming. Get in the boat now while yet under grace and be removed from the earth, or endure the coming judgement by not taking the mark of the beast. I'm taking salvation by grace through the faith of Christ.
If they excite too Great a fraction of the population at any instant, things will catch fire. While they couldn’t care less about that, their control agenda would stall.
Full control occurs once digital ID is in commonplace use & the only way to pay for something is cashless CBDC.
At that point, they probably would be less concerned about activation. We’ll do as computers instruct or we’ll be excluded. No humans need be involved.
From what I've observed in recent months, the proportion of awakeners is now growing faster than the inflation of the currency. This disturbs the ruling Bank$ter elite no end. Truth-tellers are even popping out from their employment by the CIA and the FBI. They are spilling the beans.
Yes. There is plenty of good news out there. However, because of mass media management, we need to ferret it out from alternative sources. One of the better developments is that the Awakeners have generally transitioned out of established ideological shared memes and tropes. I find it phenomenal that growing numbers of self-identified leftists and some types of conservatives (the better informed ones) are frequently finding each other to be increasingly on the same page on such issues as the damnable Nuland (actually Nudelman) and $oro$ engendered war in the Frankenstein Monster previously identified as Ukraine SSR.
Correct...up to a point. Look what happened to JFK, RFK, MLK, JFK Jr, Senator Paul Wellstone, Gary Webb and many others who stuck their heads out a bit far and revealed themselves as genuine truth-seeking humanists and patriots...the latter in a true sense.
As matters develop, the leaders will appear out of virtually nowhere. That's why the PTB are so concerned about controlling the internet and most particularly social media. Latest estimates I've seen is that Awakeners now may constitute as much as 20% of the population. Of course there are numerous levels of awakening.
If you want to take a stab at why the holocaust happened WHEN it happened, methinks you'll arrive at your answer.
That was the warmup.
This is the endgame.
We (you) are all Jews now.
Simple as that.
As Fredrick Douglass wrote: "Find out just what the people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress".
The quote by Frederick Douglass is powerful. "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." Why we need to continue to resist.
Sorry to hear that. Did someone use brute force to crack (guess) your PW or is there some kind of inherent weakness or backdoor they are using with Substack? Pretty creepy.
There's more to what Frederick Douglass wrote, though, that quote is just a small part: "The general sentiment of mankind is that a man who will not fight for himself, when he has the means of doing so, is not worth being fought for by others, and this sentiment is just. For a man who does not value freedom for himself will never value it for others, or put himself to any inconvenience to gain it for others. Such a man, the world says, may lie down until he has sense enough to stand up. It is useless and cruel to put a man on his legs, if the next moment his head is to be brought against a curbstone.

The warmup to the warmup was the Armenian genocide in Turkey. It showed that a genocide would not be stopped by the wider world. If interested, check out the U. of Hawaii democide project.
You know that the corporatists/globalists supported both Hitler's regime & also the Allies who "fought" him? Same thing with every war, profits over human lives. That's just how they roll.
Obviously we should all search for facts & truth among the deliberate historical obfuscations.
Good reminder > “Truth is dissent, where all power resides in the Big Lie.” — Allen Ginsberg
The investigative researcher Edwin Black (& others) explains the corp complicity of US firms & the financiers/bankers' WW2 roles in selling products for profits to both sides of the "conflicts" throughout the wars in several heavily documented books using suppressed archival sources..
The IBM Corporation sold punch cards to the Nazis so they could identify & round up all the subversives/radicals/Jews etc for the concentration work camps & Ford Motor Company made vehicles & tanks to sell to both the Nazi military & to the US/Allied troops too, for example.
& his earlier book "IBM & the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation"(2001) -Expanded Edition Paperback – March 16, 2012 - ...detailed IBM's conscious co-planning and co-organizing of the Holocaust for the Nazis, all micromanaged by its president Thomas J Watson from New York and Paris.
In addition to these books, there is much more related to Europe, Germany, Russia, the US & WW2 that has finally come to light too. Most of this new history was either banned, censored or heavily restricted/suppressed for many decades. See "AH:The Greatest Story Never Told"
Everything you wrote is true and undoubtedly designed in such a way to make us feel overwhelmed and helpless. But we are not. No one can take away your dignity or your resolve or your perseverance without your permission. To paraphrase Chris Hedges, I refuse to comply not because I believe it will necessarily protect my liberty, but because I love freedom and despise tyranny.
My problem with Hedges is I don't feel he's part of THIS fight against "fascism." He appears to be in the same fight as pre-2020. That is major for me. I don't know, but did he denigrate or just shrug off the Canadian trucker protests and those here? Challenges to mandates and the safety of the injections themselves? Lockdowns SPECIFICALLY as a major cause of current socio-economic ills? Etc. How could he (or Caitlin Johnstone, etc.) not focus on the latter point? They'd be the first (and I'd agree) to lambast critics of the "horrible" state of Venezuela if they just ignored what the U.S. has done to the country, from crippling sanctions to stealing their money, to actively supporting coups and regime change. So how can they just "disappear" the lockdowns and its ramifications as causes of what's happening here economically AND socially?
I’ve had the same concerns with Chris Hedges. He’s brilliant, insightful and ethical but hasn’t caught up. He’s still acting like left and right are functional political opposites (ignoring an emergent heterodoxy defined in and through opposition to Covid totalitarianism); he’s still genuflecting at the alter of Chomsky *after* he said the unvaccinated should be locked out of society; he doesn’t grasp the identitarian left or understand their militancy is pushed and funded by the corporate-state. He didn’t oppose mandates. He thinks Cornell West should run for President etc.
Hedges lost the pathway somewhere on the other side of "Think globally, but act locally". Biden was NOT duly elected. Thus, voting in presidential circuses is nothing more than playing THEIR game. If RFK Jr. lets too much truth outta the bag he may be erased in an airplane crash...or maybe something more original.
The ruling elite is utterly vicious. Consider the fact that with the latest diarrhea coming out of Congre$$ there in the Di$trict of Corruption, the WarDEfense industry currently gobbles down 53% of the national "budget". That does not even include the budget for the Veterans Administration...or even the 17 "intelligence" agencies doing most of their spying against We The People.
Most of the inmates in the D.C. insane asylum have been Epsteined.
RFK Jr. has already let far too much truth outta the bag. But his ‘experiment’: speaking truth to the people, isn’t getting through because of all the censorship, shadow banning, visibility filtering, misinformation and disinformation. At this stage, it’s ‘only’ character assassination.
He knows the risks, I believe, which makes his mission a truly heroic one. Should he succeed, then the stakes will be very high.
Good take. Thanks for fleshing it out. In contrast to the pro$titician class, Kennedy evokes the legendary Knight in Shining Armor. As the current inmate of the bespattered House has adamantly refused (at the insistence of his handlers) to engage in debates with his electoral opponents; that avenue too is closed off. However, the Kennedy name is magic and as more and more Americans awaken, word of mouth will bring the genuine small-d democrats out of the closet come the primaries and caucuses. The phenomenon will be huge, far more tangible than Bernie's struggling efforts in the face of the DNC (extremely well-compensated) machine.
The online friends I made originally because we'd been Bernie supporters were cleaved in two over the plandemic. Now there's the anti-war, anti-capitalism faction for which Chris Hedges and Caitlin Johnstone speak, presumably, and those who are the new normal resisters. Neither CH or CJ, to my knowledge, addresses the elephant in the room: that covid was a delivery system for the totalitarian one-world government the parasite class is rolling out with their fake crises--pandemics, climate change--and the push for transhumanism by way of the trans agenda. Implemented by hi-tech--robotics, AI, digitalism, nanotechnology, etc.--it should be clear what the Rockefeller-all-the-way-down scheme is in terms of yoking the peasants into 15 min. global slavery and appropriating the planet's natural resources. However, for some reason--shortsightedness? fear of diminishing their brand?--some people with a large public platform still behave as if the fight were still against war and/or capitalism which is only part of the larger picture.
Yeah, well, lots of the so-called real "left" (not the new-fangled libral authoritarians) just up & disappeared around the C19 scamdemic issues it seems to me. Were they all bribed, coerced, threatened?? Blinded by the PR/ads/propaganda? Who knows?
Lots of our supposed left leaders took a C19 pass & looked like weaselly sycophants.
Re: the Canadian Truckers Protest - how it ended was a weird ride - as the "leaders" turned out to be compromised/controlled ops & money rip-off artists. Have people forgotten how the Canadian govt supposedly claimed the donated funds but much of it was largely funneled into protest leaders' pockets? No honor among thieves. :/
Shades of the US/Black Lives Matters organization's overall graft & corruption too.
They’re part of the ‘Democracy Now’ set: left, confused and doubling down. They haven’t adjusted to the dark reality of the new normal. None of them opposed the mandates, which were the crux of the matter. They participated in the mendacious “anti-vaxxer” rhetoric. Even Taibbi and Greenwald did the “I’m vaccinated but..” schtik at the height of the corona crisis. Now they’re noisy, but not back when it mattered.
A subset of the BLM people did in fact go on a corporate and branding mission. Like good capitalists they saw an opportunity to profit on something and co-opted it. I'm sure a lot of t shirts were sold in Ottawa too.
What are we going to leave future generations? Rolling over and saying, you win? Or throwing sand in their gas tanks at every single chance? Our choice.
“ I’m still not sure who I actually met in London, as we were all wearing identical Mickey-Mouse masks and speaking through portable voice modifiers. (In any secret meeting like this, you have to assume you’ve been infiltrated!)”
Please tell me that’s true.
As per usual, you nailed it. We are playing Chopsticks whilst the Bolshevik-Billionaire axis of evil is playing Bartok’s Piano Concerto No. 2.
None of your stuff is kooky, it's all logical and easy to show.
Assange didn't want to question 911.
His team, including his wife didn't want to question COVID and the shots.
He very likely got a stroke in jail from the jabs.
It's typical for those who think they're aware of the situation to block out things.
Heck even Chris hedges, who is quick to mess with rfk Jr, couldn't touch 911 or COVID with a ten foot pole. He also didn't bother to call out Biden... You gotta wonder what kind of stupid or cowardice those freedom fighters have.
Well all I can say is that the last time the globalists staged a globally coordinated assault upon our freedoms and way of life, it was spectacularly successful. But then it all fell apart (well, some of it fell apart, the really crucial bits) and they failed to achieve their principal objective. So they're trying again. But this time they're going to need brute force and legislative sledgehammers rather than psy ops. So I don't know if they're going to be any more successful this time, even though they can see the forest, and we can't, because they can't always see what's happening on the forest floor.
One of their key tools happens to be the number of military age and often trained "illegal immigrants" swarming across our southwestern, essentially unguarded border. With scores of millions of Americans thinking more by the day of exercising their 2nd Amendment rights against the forces of tyranny; the MI-13 gangsters and other soul-less types being prepped and feted; the elites have their latest disposable foot-soldiers.
("The manipulation of our perception of reality.") - indeed. I only wish I had the energy to look at that whole - "the forest" - thingy you mention C.J., but of course currently I'm hopelessly bogged down these days in the age-old question of trying to determine if - "women" - can in fact - have "a penis," and if so, answering the obvious theological question that then presents itself - "how many trans-women can dance on the head of a pin?" How can I possibly focus my attention on our impending totalitarian nightmare - when GloboCap's media apparatus is constantly posing and promoting important questions such as these which are being debated daily and passionately on all media and all tech platforms? : /
Yeah, & have you/anyone noticed that it just so happens all of our "major" US blue cities are now run by increasingly corrupt globalist-trainees who don't know their ass from their elbow?
(Not that their mayor predecessors were any better - it's now just even worse. Things fall apart. Constant chaos. Do this, now do that. Endless, tedious, mind-numbingly bureaucratic bullshit.
All I can say is our cynicism is nihilistic and effectively is a gift to the psycho-sociopathic oligarchs who rule over us with such contempt. No matter what, we must resist in whatever way necessary to the bitter end. To do otherwise is to betray all that is good, innocent, beautiful and sacred.
Brilliant CJ, you hysterically capture the Westminster moment, then lay out the story, as it is. The US House now has a congressional record that has integrated all the great work, of Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger and Michael Benz, and conservatives are just getting started. People the world over have seen enough, heard enough--there’s angry moms out there taking taking over school boards and running for local office--and winning!
So how does the story end? I’ll tell you. We Organize. Community Organizing. That’s how they did it. We must lead in my country, America. Because we already have a First Amendment, and the didn’t steal it. We gave it away. Congress is on it and key US Senators are all over it. The congressional record report yesterday is a big deal.
Now is the time for legislative action to shut the door on legal loopholes that permitted this autocratic abuse of power. This will happen.
And we will help every one of those countries craft a tactical plan, with model legislation, or referendums, to adopt their own First Amendment. Let’s go!
The Soviet Empire did, so did the British Empire, for the same reason - they spent huge amounts of money on the military, debased their currency, and went slowly, then suddenly, bankrupt. Same case for the Roman Empire - Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman empire is an instructive read.
Totally agree about “local, local, local.” However I don’t see Congress, in either Senate or House, doing anything more than performative actions. Yes hearings get information into the Congressional (AKA historical) Record, that’s about all.
We need to keep pushing. As citizens our best angle is the civil rights one. They can’t stop us if we’re organized. And it really doesn’t take much, just focus.
I'm not anyone from anywhere. But, I'm graced to have some salient voices in the web. My belief, Pollyanna-is though it may be, is that they're on the run. The pandemic failed when half the world said No. They said no for a very broad variety of reasons, then it all started gelling when people saw ALL the reasons to say No. If they were winning they wouldn't need to lie. It would be in your face, cold hard facts. They aren't there yet...but it's critical all the truth warriors' words get spread far and wide. The lying MSM live in the protected beltway, thinking they're believed. Ha! Looking at their viewership tells you people no longer believe them. Then, thirst for truth gets them to folks who dispense the cold hard truth, that inspires the pushback. And, that's why they're not going to succeed. We are the Humans!!
It wasn't clear to me where your facts ended and your irony began. Whatever. If you listen to Taibi's podcasts you get the feeling that we've already let this go too far. Too much from too many directions. Taibbi probably knows more about this than anyone, and he does not sound optimistic.
Two hours ago I was sitting in a courtroom in Philadelphia listening to an appeal by Children's Health Defense in their case against Rutgers University's vaccine mandate. The case has been going on for (I believe) about two years, and they're basically nowhere. A favorable ruling by the 3 judge panel will only mean the trial may proceed. It would take an administrative miracle, in that instance, for the trial to begin this year. Justice delayed....
And this is just one case from among the tens of thousands of possible lawsuits, each of which (will be heard by unsympathetic agents of the same public and private entities that mandated the shots in the first place.
There is no easy way out of our current predicament. No way to undo our (and especially our children's) addiction to devices and media. That genie is never going back. I don't see any way to reform our institutions either. We're in big, big trouble.
It will take people getting together - in this case just not enrolling at Rutgers. Not enrolling at any university that mandates. That’s all it would take. That seems all but impossible.
The courts, particularly at the Feral level, are almost totally corrupted. They owe their allegiance to the United States of America Corporation, duly entered as such under the corporate statutes of the state of Dupont...excuse me, it is AKA Delaware.
I was at the Thursday night event and found it quite bewildering. There was a performative quality to it. Much mutual back-slapping by the anointed hero characters on stage while they basked in the admiration from their assembled disciples.
We learnt nothing new. Few solutions were presented. All we got was “shock” at discovering what we already know. I’ve no idea why Brand permitted such off-topic questions about US politics.
Stella Assange’s ‘impromptu’ speech was particularly odd. How can she possibly think that denial of a high court appeal is “inexplicable” or be puzzled by the UK government’s collusion with the US?! Is she faking innocence and naivety for the audience’s benefit?
I came away wondering what was the point of it all.
Mr. Hopkins— I just love your writing. Bought all your books. Thank you.
I just want to say… If people want to FEEL, truly FEEL, what “Mr. Global”, what the predators want to do to us; if people want to feel what these monsters TRULY ARE, what truly drives them, what their deepest need is… read the book TRANCE-FORMATION OF AMERICA.
To read this book one experiences, down to the bone, what it’s like to live as a slave, inside and out; and for the author, Cathy O’Brian, it started at birth, with her parents perpetrating the first of the 10,000 crimes against her, then the CIA, then the presidents. and a thousand others. It’s an excruciating book, and very important.
Some readers seem to be a bit unclear about the nature of the "story" I referred to in the piece. It's about the history of the post-Cold War period, the early 1990s up to now. I presented an extremely condensed version of it at a conference in London in April. Here it is again ...
https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-new-normal-left
"In order to understand what happened to the Left (i.e., how it became the New Normal Left), you have to understand the history of global capitalism over the last 30 years or so. Actually, you have to go back a bit farther, back to the early 20th Century, when the Great Ideological Game was still afoot. Back then, capitalism, having overthrown the aristocracies, was on the march, transforming the world into one big marketplace. It was challenged by two opposing ideologies, fascism and communism. They fought it out. Long story short, capitalism won.
Global capitalism (“GloboCap”) was born. It’s one big global-capitalist world now. It has been since the early 1990s. GloboCap has no external adversaries, so it has nothing to do but Clear and Hold, i.e., wipe out pockets of internal resistance and implement ideological uniformity. Which is what it has been doing for the last 30 years, first, in the former Soviet bloc, then, in “The Global War on Terror,” and finally, in our so-called “Western democracies,” as we have just experienced up close and personal during the shock-and-awe phase of the rollout of the New Normal, and are continuing to experience, albeit somewhat less dramatically.
In other words, GloboCap is going totalitarian. That is what the New Normal is. It is not your granddad’s totalitarianism. It is a new, global-capitalist form of totalitarianism. It displays a number of familiar features — suspension of constitutional rights, official propaganda, goon squads, censorship, ubiquitous symbols of ideological conformity, gratuitous restrictions of freedom of movement and other aspects of everyday life, hatred and persecution of official “Untermenschen,” segregation, criminalization of dissent, mob violence, book burning, show trials, etc. — but there won’t be anyone goose-stepping around in jackboots shrieking about “the master race.” It’s not that kind of totalitarianism.
To understand it (which it would behoove us to do), we need to understand global-capitalist ideology, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. Global capitalism has no ideology … or, rather, its ideology is “reality.” When you have no ideological adversaries, you don’t need an ideology. You’re basically God. “Reality” is whatever you say it is, and whoever disagrees is a “science denier,” or a “conspiracy theorist,” or a “malinformationist,” or some other type of deluded “extremist.” You don’t need to argue ideology with anyone, because you have no ideological opponents. Society is divided into two fundamental groups, (a) “normal people,” who accept “reality,” and (b) the “deviants” and “extremists,” who do not. Your political and ideological opponents are pathologized, preemptively delegitimized. After all, who would argue against “reality” except liars and the clinically insane?
Yes, of course, there is intramural political and ideological conflict within the confines of so-called “normality,” just as there is intramural competition between global corporations, but challenging the ideological system itself is impossible, because there is no ground outside it from which to mount an attack. This is probably the hardest thing for most of us to come to terms with. There is no ideological territory outside global capitalism. There is no “outside.” There are no external adversaries. There are only insurgencies, and counterinsurgency ops.
The rest is intramural competition."
Cats are difficult to herd. Be more catlike.
"When you have no ideological adversaries, you don’t need an ideology. You’re basically God. “Reality” is whatever you say it is . . . "
So, basically, global capitalism is like your parents--the only difference being that global capitalism doesn't love you.
More like your wicked, evil, out of control, insane, psychopathic stepmother.
"granddad’s totalitarianism" ="....a boot stamping on a human face - for ever." Our totalitarianism = human face in a smart phone (device) - for ever.
They do indeed have an adversary. GloboCap have positioned themselves as a pyramid under the coordinated power and authority of an invisible god who wishes to be like the Most High. His (Lucifer's) plan is to usurp the authority given to Christ Jesus the Lord who is coming back with his saints to defeat this god in the final battle of Armageddon, by giving his false reality to the world in the form of a false messiah who will exercise great power and wonders in the heavens and require all men to worship him and take his mark. You're missing the spiritual link.
We cannot dissociate Global capitalism from usury. Since global usury is the result of an ideology, we cannot say that Global capitalism has no ideology.
People would be concerned about the power of large corporations, so they would demand that the government Do Something. The rules and regulations thereby induced would make life much harder for small companies than for large, who just filled up a room with lawyers and accountants. This consolidated power in both corporations and government. We need rules that give the economic advantage to smaller companies, and tend to cause a large company to fission into smaller ones. It also needs to be easy to start a new company; you want to make it easy for a group of bright, young executives and engineers to leave their parent company and start their own, infuriating their old bosses. (I used to tell people that as long as the corporations support the Republicans the Democrats will do their bidding.)
I have a different story, or a bigger picture story that the attempted take over of the planet by these... forces, will be ultimately subsumed in. Their plans don't work. They lose.
It ends well, but it's really rocky going through it. Has to do with very old planetary and cosmic-sized narratives we have not been privy to and frequencies changing and humans finally breaking free from a slave-system, we thought was the world. Lots has to be shed, and revealed in the process.
It's got a really good ending. I can't prove any of it.
My story builds on yours, Kathleen. My story is that we, the human beings, do what we're best at: imagination. When we tap into that creative force, we are powerful beyond measure. Have you ever seen someone heal themselves from an "incurable" illness? I have. Have you ever heard of a 13-year-old (or younger!) hack into the "unhackable" new digital fortresses set up by teams of cybersecurity experts? We all have. Stories run the universe. If you believe a story of doom, then you will live yourself right into it.
My story is that we stop telling ourselves we're powerless. My story is that we see ourselves as fully victorious. My story imagines an outcome that, even if I can't see it clearly right now, is centered on "breaking free from a slave-system we thought was the world." (Thanks, Kathleen!) Like her, I have no proof. All I have is my own lived experience and the story I tell about it. It's all any of us have, in the end.
Love it, Mary. Thanks. I'm with you. 💕 (And all the really great stories look like all is lost just before they break free.)
Ever see the movie "BRAZIL"??
Used to be one of my favorite dystopian tragi-comedies until our world became it. Sarcastic, pretend dystopia is loads of fun but actual, dystopian reality is just NO fun.
However, don't mind my current aversion tho cuz emotionally & visually this film is still a stunning piece of work & packs a real wallop. Look at your screens, it's BRAZIL.

Have you heard of Dr. Pangloss?
At the least, Mr. Hopkins is trying to conceptualize the problem and not "pangloss" it over.
Absolutely. I always deeply appreciate his highly insightful analysis of the state of the world. It's not pretty, and I don't shrink from seeing it in its grim totality. We can't fight what we can't see.
He said that if anyone had a different story he'd honestly love to hear it. Ergo my version. I'm interested in hearing everyone's.
I know that one. And I agree, it's going to be a bumpy ride. But the so-called "eagles" and their panopticon vision contains a huge blind spot. Evil eventually eats itself. It's our job to help them finish the meal faster, and save who we can along the way.
I think I know what you’re getting at, and I mostly agree, but it sure is hard to remain positive! 😊
It is! And I think that's why it's so important to lift one another up, whenever possible. Staying positive amongst other positive people is so much easier...
Indeed the conflict is beyond ideology. That nostrum is so yesterday. Whether the agency behind GloboCap as Hopkins so astutely terms it, is purely of human derivation, based on a combination of greed and fear, or some form of spiritual malaise which emanates from a dimensional reality quite different from the one which appears to have overcome the senses of a significant proportion of humanity.
The power which activates the banal acceptance by many of a reality totally deracinated from any connexion with the natural world...as well as an adumbration which masks the deeper reality of Cosmic Consciousness...is based on a materialistic ethos with it's so-called "economy" precisely centered on consumerism.
Even in an economically challenged rural area, such as the single stoplight county in which I was born and currently reside, one can learn a lot from the art of dumpster-diving.
Early in the 20th Century, the term "tuberculosis" had yet to achieve medical acceptance. The then ruling paradigm was that so and so "died of consumption". One brief consideration of the eastern Pacific vortex of floating plastics and micro-plastics is a very evident example of the fact that westernized cultures, particularly here in the U$$A, happens to be the very antithesis of the original meaning of the word economy.
As inflationary policies inevitably lead to skyrocketing prices in the marketplace of manias, people are gradually awakening to the common sense reality that the happy hayride is just about kaput. Buy it now or pay more for it later. Engineered obsolescence drives a huge section of the marketplace of madness. Oh, the icemaker no longer functions on the five year old refrigerator. Buy a new one...even if the thin plastic drawers have been engineered to break down in fewer than five years.
Get the picture? Semi-conscious ecocide is in high fashion. Even in my somewhat economically distressed rural area the amount of perfectly usable clothing can be found on a regular basis in the local dumpsters. One of the most amazing finds includes large numbers of usable work-boots. New ones of higher levels of quality average over two-hundred bucks nowadays. As the false economy becomes more and more constipated as a matter of course, those elements of the public which are still racking up those credit card debts are becoming an ever thinning demographic.
To walk the spirit path, one may need to overcome those inculcated bad habits, beginning with simple things like hanging onto those boots. RedWings, from Red Wing, Minnesota is one of the last boot producers remaining right across the fruited plain. If there comes about an economic collapse, which I feel is inevitable, while may or may not be immanent, do bear in mind that those "boots are made for walking". Meanwhile, here in poverty country, I'm amazed at those "side-by-side" vehicles which suddenly have become must-haves for the credit card set. Most of the folks actually walking in this little village, get their bits of exercise out walking their housedogs, likely more than half neurotic because they cannot avail themselves of those porcelain gods which happen to be one of those human conveniences.
For one born in the first half of the 20th Century, contemporary reality resolves as a wild, wild world of willing workers and compulsive consumers.
I’ve worn the same pair of RedWings since high school…I’m 78 !
Right On! Recently, my old belt finally gave out where the leather meets the metal. As a fellow 78er, I probably purchased it 30-40 years ago. Checked out several new ones and finally bought one for $25 bucks. Made in Mexico. Very thick leather, yet extremely flexible. So decent belts, designed to last and last, evidently are no longer made in the "land of the free and home of the brave." Full blame is on those out-sourcing bastards who are all about bottom line and nothing about quality and truly serving the public.
That'a amazing!!
The conflict is way beyond ideology; we are not informed about these larger stories. We are treated as pawns in longstanding, unspoken chess game that generates wars and fake pandemics and doesn't think twice about killing off millions. They think they own the place and for a long time they've been running it. I genuinely think that's coming to an end (though no idea what that means in terms of time). The more of us who don't comply and don't support their anti-human agendas, the better outcome for us, obviously.
As CAF has said, right now it's 'duck-n-dive'; figuring out how to survive this tail-end of the last-gasps collapse.
I'll have to reread your thoughtful comment. Thanks.
Currently we are ruled by multigenerational psychopaths, who are wont to hire as their management teams fellow psychopaths such as Heinrich Kissinger and the late Zbigniew Brzezezinski...their prime minions. As one scans through the various levels of upper management, we discover a high proportion of psychopaths and sociopaths. Down the line a ways, particularly in the Di$trict of Corruption...but throughout the fruited plain, competence levels are rapidly diminishing. When one looks at the $tate Department, for example, many of their primaries happen to be Tribally well-connected non-entities who, often as "legacies" such as Bu$h the Le$$er, matriculated from the Ivies and similar elitist institutions.
With livestock, out -breeding to unrelated animals can produce offspring that are healthier and more productive than either parent. It's called "hybrid vigor". Continual inbreeding of limited lines results in weakened and unhealthy stock.
We're seeing the same results both physiologically and metaphorically among the "elites". Psychopath x psychopath = sick psychopath = self destruction.
The rest of us need to have more poison-free kids.
Insightful take. Whether Anglo, Talmudist or somehow made it into the upper echelons of the system, those breeding customs leave detritus. Amish folk have relatively recently moved into the area. Lots of cousin marriages. It seems to hit the girls the most, with a disproportionate number having this beaten-down but resigned air about them. Amongst the elites, many of the male offspring are not only psychopathic, but in many ways deeply devolved and grossly incompetent.
Girls - who are basically chattel in the Amish culture. Their beaten-down appearance may have nothing to do with inbreeding.
I remember seeing a flock of inbreds at the Indiana State Fair, circa late 90's. They all had recessive traits (blonde, blue-eyed), they had flat faces (long thin moon faces?), walked with a slight slump - not quite hunchback, but headed there, so that it looked as if their knuckles would drag the ground.
I can imagine that the breeding pool is very limited for the Amish. I suspect more leave than enter that community.
We’re reading runes, chicken entrails and tea leaves identically. Possibly because we don’t need to visit or become soothsayers to be pretty sure what’s coming.
Those who become aware of the UN2030 SDGs have one of these responses:
1. It’ll never happen here. We’re in a democracy.
2. It’s impossible to control people like you’re saying.
3. What’s your problem with this set of goals? They look pretty benign to me.
It is quite obvious to me that the perpetrators intend not only totalitarian tyranny, using digital ID & cashless CBDC (and they’ll succeed like taking candy from a baby if people fail to hear or respond to our warnings) but they’re going to do awful things, armed with the totalitarian power over INDIVIDUALS. No dictator has ever had control over every individual, beyond a handful of political opponents. Not only is this dictatorship going to be global, so there’s nowhere to run, it’ll be aimed surgically at whatever their real agenda is.
I’m of the view that mass murder on a hitherto unimaginable scale is their default end game. Does anyone think they’ll tie us in knots, then work assiduously to keep the huge, steady flow of imported food, pharmaceuticals, fuel, manufactured goods etc going?
Why would they do that?
We’re surplus and I think they’ll do what a farmer does when they realise they’re in the wrong business, raising livestock, when there’s more money, less risk & almost no effort involved in solar farming: they exit the livestock business by sending them to the abattoir.
So my expectation is that they’ll require occasional compliance with additional jab “recommendations” issued by WHO. The jabs won’t be vaccines but that’s they’ll call them. Instead, being mRNA based preparations, they will injure, main & kill, like c19 “vaccines” do. Only they’ll have benefitted from calibration of the killing weapon. The type of toxicity & the propensity to kill can be adjusted by the design choices of the evildoers.
Only if sufficient of us decline digital ID can we perhaps avoid this fate. Refusing it will involve some immediate restrictions, but avoiding those by getting the digital ID means you don’t gain a number. You lose absolutely everything else but that number.
Even if it turns out I’m wrong, I ask that we act as if I’m going to be right. Because you’ll lose your freedom anyway and then permanently be the in grip of clever, diabolical lunatics, who can kill you at any time they choose. Yes, you particularly. Remember, this totalitarian tyranny is personal, open-ended and has no observable end date.
It doesn't matter whether you and I are exactly right about the details. Totalitarianism always ends up somewhere nightmarish, and we almost never see it coming, until it is too late. We expect it to show up in the costume it wore last time, but that's not how history generally works.
Yes, this one is particularly well disguised.
Even when described in some detail, most don’t see it.
My husband and I have lamented, for years, that people have no situational awareness, no common sense, and no independent thought. It's a virtual trainwreck.
One of my little gigs here in the Northwoods of Minnesota is to randomly ask people if they know anyone down in the Sitties if they know anyone down there who has any common sense. Most folks simply laugh.
😂🤣😂
I just watched this and wondered if either of you have seen it?
It references the Marburg plandemic:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/LkDQUbZJFZ99/
I’m aware of it. It’s biologically implausible but it would work because people don’t want to think. They outsource it.
What I see is exactly what is described in cryptic detail in the prophetic books of OT, Matthew and Revelation. It fascinates me nonetheless to read the thoughts from the minds of intellects who have shined the light on the current blight of humanity, though devoid of spiritual understanding. It ends very well on the other side of imminent, great trouble but you want to be on the right side. Trust the Lord Jesus Christ and his redemptive work on our behalf to be reconciled to God. Our souls are in the balance of good vs evil. Evil wins a bit longer with much destruction before victory arrives.
True enough about the unfolding of history. It is not...as the materialist lunatics insist...progressive. Rather, it is cyclical. There is a spiral dance to it. However, the big picture is shrouded in mist, fog and smoke...the latter reminding me of the probability that the regime in Ottawa, Canuckistan is itself responsible for all those forest fires which have been breaking out recently. Object/goal: Possibly to drive the survivors into the WEF's Fifteen minute cities...total digital AI control mechanisms already being emplaced with all those 5G towers allegedly for the delectation of gamers and similar gotta get it yesterday freaks.
Is it time to sell your cloak and buy a sword? (And a cleaver, machete, axe, hatchet, pitchfork, scythe and shield.) Enough words have been spoken and "they" will not listen. We need to come together and demand our sovereignty. "I don't want no peace I need equal rights and justice" - Peter Tosh.
I might be tempted, but I have no enemy at whom I could wave my weapon!
My basic philosophy is seek peace and have love for all people. However, we have an inherent right to defend our self and family. Recall the genocides in our history. Too many people were willing to deny and ignore what was occurring around them, ultimately being destroyed by acquiescence in the face of tyranny.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago
It’s such powerful testimony from Solzhenitsyn!
Put on the armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places... stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (speaking here to those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ who, alone, can make men righteous)
"The general sentiment of mankind is that a man who will not fight for himself, when he has the means of doing so, is not worth being fought for by others, and this sentiment is just. For a man who does not value freedom for himself will never value it for others, or put himself to any inconvenience to gain it for others. Such a man, the world says, may lie down until he has sense enough to stand up. It is useless and cruel to put a man on his legs, if the next moment his head is to be brought against a curbstone.
A man of that type will never lay the world under any obligation to him, but will be a moral pauper, a drag on the wheels of society, and if he too be identified with a peculiar variety of the race he will entail disgrace upon his race as well as upon himself. The world in which we live is very accommodating to all sorts of people. It will cooperate with them in any measure which they propose; it will help those who earnestly help themselves, and will hinder those who hinder themselves. It is very polite, and never offers its services unasked. Its favors to individuals are measured by an unerring principle in this—viz., respect those who respect themselves, and despise those who despise themselves. It is not within the power of unaided human nature to persevere in pitying a people who are insensible to their own wrongs and indifferent to the attainment of their own rights. The poet was as true to common sense as to poetry when he said,
Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow." https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/1857-frederick-douglass-if-there-no-struggle-there-no-progress/
There’s one issue with your argument, with which I otherwise agree. If they kill a big chunk of the population, the ability to produce and profit goes down. If they muck it up, it goes away entirely. You can’t build and maintain your widgets without the widget builders and fixers.
I agree with your argument because the setup is obvious and COVID was a test run. If they develop an “antidote” or prophylactic against whatever they inject us with, then they can choose who lives and who dies. If they do it over a long enough period of time, they will be able to tamp down claims of genocide.
I believe they’re not interested in money as you & I experience it. Note, the most powerful part of their weaponry is control of the world’s central banks, culminating in the BIS.
If as many expect, sovereign currencies are coming to an end, cashless CBDC become the new money.
That won’t be of interest to the perpetrators. They can issue any amount of it at will. Instead, ownership of real things will be all that matters: land, oil, gold, food.
Once digital ID & cashless CBDC are installed, they will be less concerned about the possibility that there may be a gradually expanding awakening. We’ll do what we’re told or computers, not humans, will deny us basic necessities of life.
Unfortunately they don’t need us in the world. We’re expensive to maintain.
That leads to the ghastly calculus that I outline, doing no more than echoing numerous statements & works that show a very long run concern that there are too many of “us”.
I hope to be wrong.
I don’t think your premise is incorrect. CBDCs are a tell in terms of minute control of every day existence. It’s also bring hastened because of two other things - the current fiat money system is being destroyed by the same people creating CBDCs, rendering money worthless, and the nascent cryptocurrency industry based on blockchain technology, which may represent an escape hatch for the little guy. Owning real assets is probably the smartest wealth preservation strategy. But they may not have gamed this out properly. Still need the muscle economy. Robots can’t do everything. They won’t get away with it. People, like you, are on to them. There are still enough people currently who will do whatever is necessary to stop these guys. It’s coming. I think the trigger is not far away, although we’ve waited too long already. Secondly, large groups of sociopaths are not a recipe for success. The infighting will get worse. I’m not saying this isn’t a deadly serious problem, because it is. It’s still surreal, which is one of the problems for the common man. Hard to parse the data when you are being misled continuously by the regime media.
"Unfortunately they don’t need us in the world. We’re expensive to maintain."
In another comment, I shared a passage from socialist writer Peter Frase describing how a genocidal ideology of "exterminism" could arise among the elite as increasing levels of automation turn the masses into a liability. He wrote in 2011, and his analysis — although perhaps too credulous toward the climate narrative — looks disturbingly consistent with stated Davos agendas. A pity "the left" in 2023 seems more interested in cheerleading big pharma and top-down thought control than its traditional opposition to the ruling class.

Very good, inexorable logic and also a frightening post.
I have long seen this as a battle for the very soul of humanity.
If we lose, most of us will be dispatched and the remaining skeleton crew will compete for crumbs from the overlords table with no hope of salvation. Deviation would result in material punishment like inability to move at all from one’s registered address and ultimately a non person who cannot even obtain food.
If we win, the most powerful oligarchs are going to have to be tried and after due process, I envisage almost all of them being executed.
The world cannot afford to have them scheming against the whole of humanity ever again.
We would need to introduce laws and regulations which will limit the ownership and power of money, patronage etc to tiny extents compared with today.
All the historic foundations would have to be ended and their net worth as assets or money distributed among what is presumably a very extended network of relatives and hangers on, minus whatever tax take Humanity 2.0 chooses to impose on the ultra wealthy.
Either way, that ultra wealth needs to end.
Okay, so then how many of them are left once we're all gone? 8 or 800?
What will they have then?
I don’t know.
They’ll have access to the entire world as in feudal England.
We’ll be dead or in 15min cities.
The entire order is ending & changing, I believe.
It’ll never again be roughly as it was 50 years ago.
"they’ll succeed like taking candy from a baby if people fail to hear or respond to our warnings"
How are these people meant to "hear or respond" to the "pretty sure what's coming" warnings that only serve to mirror/perpetuate/perpetrate the "THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO BE" message of the globalists?
I’m only able to be good at one thing and I agree entirely with your having pointed out the dilemma.
Regret I haven’t the first idea how to overcome or subvert massive censorship.
Likely it’s eithef tech based or at least not biological sciences based.
I’m left praying with you that others with a clue step up!
There’s no time to wait!
Thank you. We’re going to need a lot of cells and people in them. I’m unaware of any at the moment. Mind you, that’s perhaps not surprising. What’s needed isn’t in my own nature. Hopefully there are others for whom it’s doable.
They can't kill billions too swiftly or indiscriminately without threatening the stability of the system itself. All those yachts and private jets still depend on complex global supply chains that need functioning governments and knowledgeable people to maintain them. If depopulation is the endgame, it has to be managed carefully. A controlled demolition, rather than a sudden collapse.
An optimist, eh? :)
Bingo. They end the system., they end themselves.
I guess it's murder-suicide they're going for.
And other-fulfilled, by the looks of it.
The system is corrupt, inward and outward. It needs replacing under leadership of righteousness and peace. It's coming. Get in the boat now while yet under grace and be removed from the earth, or endure the coming judgement by not taking the mark of the beast. I'm taking salvation by grace through the faith of Christ.
They don’t have the means yet.
If they excite too Great a fraction of the population at any instant, things will catch fire. While they couldn’t care less about that, their control agenda would stall.
Full control occurs once digital ID is in commonplace use & the only way to pay for something is cashless CBDC.
At that point, they probably would be less concerned about activation. We’ll do as computers instruct or we’ll be excluded. No humans need be involved.
“Computer says no” once was a joke meme in U.K.
No longer amusing.
From what I've observed in recent months, the proportion of awakeners is now growing faster than the inflation of the currency. This disturbs the ruling Bank$ter elite no end. Truth-tellers are even popping out from their employment by the CIA and the FBI. They are spilling the beans.
That is SO good to hear. We need this kind of feedback! Thank you 😊
Yes. There is plenty of good news out there. However, because of mass media management, we need to ferret it out from alternative sources. One of the better developments is that the Awakeners have generally transitioned out of established ideological shared memes and tropes. I find it phenomenal that growing numbers of self-identified leftists and some types of conservatives (the better informed ones) are frequently finding each other to be increasingly on the same page on such issues as the damnable Nuland (actually Nudelman) and $oro$ engendered war in the Frankenstein Monster previously identified as Ukraine SSR.
We definitely hope so…
We still have the numbers and the leadership.
Correct...up to a point. Look what happened to JFK, RFK, MLK, JFK Jr, Senator Paul Wellstone, Gary Webb and many others who stuck their heads out a bit far and revealed themselves as genuine truth-seeking humanists and patriots...the latter in a true sense.
As matters develop, the leaders will appear out of virtually nowhere. That's why the PTB are so concerned about controlling the internet and most particularly social media. Latest estimates I've seen is that Awakeners now may constitute as much as 20% of the population. Of course there are numerous levels of awakening.
If you want to take a stab at why the holocaust happened WHEN it happened, methinks you'll arrive at your answer.
That was the warmup.
This is the endgame.
We (you) are all Jews now.
Simple as that.
As Fredrick Douglass wrote: "Find out just what the people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress".
The quote by Frederick Douglass is powerful. "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." Why we need to continue to resist.
Did you get hacked CJ?
Yes. I'm getting attacked fairly regularly now. I reported it to Substack, but they're a bit slow to respond this time.
Sorry to hear that. Did someone use brute force to crack (guess) your PW or is there some kind of inherent weakness or backdoor they are using with Substack? Pretty creepy.
There's more to what Frederick Douglass wrote, though, that quote is just a small part: "The general sentiment of mankind is that a man who will not fight for himself, when he has the means of doing so, is not worth being fought for by others, and this sentiment is just. For a man who does not value freedom for himself will never value it for others, or put himself to any inconvenience to gain it for others.

The warmup to the warmup was the Armenian genocide in Turkey. It showed that a genocide would not be stopped by the wider world. If interested, check out the U. of Hawaii democide project.
You know that the corporatists/globalists supported both Hitler's regime & also the Allies who "fought" him? Same thing with every war, profits over human lives. That's just how they roll.
Obviously we should all search for facts & truth among the deliberate historical obfuscations.

The investigative researcher Edwin Black (& others) explains the corp complicity of US firms & the financiers/bankers' WW2 roles in selling products for profits to both sides of the "conflicts" throughout the wars in several heavily documented books using suppressed archival sources..
The IBM Corporation sold punch cards to the Nazis so they could identify & round up all the subversives/radicals/Jews etc for the concentration work camps & Ford Motor Company made vehicles & tanks to sell to both the Nazi military & to the US/Allied troops too, for example.
Edwin Black's "Nazi Nexus: America's corporate connections to Hitler's Holocaust" - (2009) - https://archive.org/details/nazinexusamerica0000blac - explains the globalists' WW2 project
& his earlier book "IBM & the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation"(2001) -Expanded Edition Paperback – March 16, 2012 - ...detailed IBM's conscious co-planning and co-organizing of the Holocaust for the Nazis, all micromanaged by its president Thomas J Watson from New York and Paris.

Everything you wrote is true and undoubtedly designed in such a way to make us feel overwhelmed and helpless. But we are not. No one can take away your dignity or your resolve or your perseverance without your permission. To paraphrase Chris Hedges, I refuse to comply not because I believe it will necessarily protect my liberty, but because I love freedom and despise tyranny.
Also Chris Hedges: "I don't fight fascists because I think I will win. I fight fascists because they're fascists."
My problem with Hedges is I don't feel he's part of THIS fight against "fascism." He appears to be in the same fight as pre-2020. That is major for me. I don't know, but did he denigrate or just shrug off the Canadian trucker protests and those here? Challenges to mandates and the safety of the injections themselves? Lockdowns SPECIFICALLY as a major cause of current socio-economic ills? Etc. How could he (or Caitlin Johnstone, etc.) not focus on the latter point? They'd be the first (and I'd agree) to lambast critics of the "horrible" state of Venezuela if they just ignored what the U.S. has done to the country, from crippling sanctions to stealing their money, to actively supporting coups and regime change. So how can they just "disappear" the lockdowns and its ramifications as causes of what's happening here economically AND socially?
I’ve had the same concerns with Chris Hedges. He’s brilliant, insightful and ethical but hasn’t caught up. He’s still acting like left and right are functional political opposites (ignoring an emergent heterodoxy defined in and through opposition to Covid totalitarianism); he’s still genuflecting at the alter of Chomsky *after* he said the unvaccinated should be locked out of society; he doesn’t grasp the identitarian left or understand their militancy is pushed and funded by the corporate-state. He didn’t oppose mandates. He thinks Cornell West should run for President etc.
Hedges lost the pathway somewhere on the other side of "Think globally, but act locally". Biden was NOT duly elected. Thus, voting in presidential circuses is nothing more than playing THEIR game. If RFK Jr. lets too much truth outta the bag he may be erased in an airplane crash...or maybe something more original.
The ruling elite is utterly vicious. Consider the fact that with the latest diarrhea coming out of Congre$$ there in the Di$trict of Corruption, the WarDEfense industry currently gobbles down 53% of the national "budget". That does not even include the budget for the Veterans Administration...or even the 17 "intelligence" agencies doing most of their spying against We The People.
Most of the inmates in the D.C. insane asylum have been Epsteined.
RFK Jr. has already let far too much truth outta the bag. But his ‘experiment’: speaking truth to the people, isn’t getting through because of all the censorship, shadow banning, visibility filtering, misinformation and disinformation. At this stage, it’s ‘only’ character assassination.
He knows the risks, I believe, which makes his mission a truly heroic one. Should he succeed, then the stakes will be very high.
Good take. Thanks for fleshing it out. In contrast to the pro$titician class, Kennedy evokes the legendary Knight in Shining Armor. As the current inmate of the bespattered House has adamantly refused (at the insistence of his handlers) to engage in debates with his electoral opponents; that avenue too is closed off. However, the Kennedy name is magic and as more and more Americans awaken, word of mouth will bring the genuine small-d democrats out of the closet come the primaries and caucuses. The phenomenon will be huge, far more tangible than Bernie's struggling efforts in the face of the DNC (extremely well-compensated) machine.
Wait, not that Cornell West has any chance of winning, but what's wrong with him otherwise?
Here's one thing:
https://twitter.com/cygnus_321/status/1668099093913120768
Lol fair.
The online friends I made originally because we'd been Bernie supporters were cleaved in two over the plandemic. Now there's the anti-war, anti-capitalism faction for which Chris Hedges and Caitlin Johnstone speak, presumably, and those who are the new normal resisters. Neither CH or CJ, to my knowledge, addresses the elephant in the room: that covid was a delivery system for the totalitarian one-world government the parasite class is rolling out with their fake crises--pandemics, climate change--and the push for transhumanism by way of the trans agenda. Implemented by hi-tech--robotics, AI, digitalism, nanotechnology, etc.--it should be clear what the Rockefeller-all-the-way-down scheme is in terms of yoking the peasants into 15 min. global slavery and appropriating the planet's natural resources. However, for some reason--shortsightedness? fear of diminishing their brand?--some people with a large public platform still behave as if the fight were still against war and/or capitalism which is only part of the larger picture.
Great summary.
Yeah, well, lots of the so-called real "left" (not the new-fangled libral authoritarians) just up & disappeared around the C19 scamdemic issues it seems to me. Were they all bribed, coerced, threatened?? Blinded by the PR/ads/propaganda? Who knows?
Lots of our supposed left leaders took a C19 pass & looked like weaselly sycophants.
Re: the Canadian Truckers Protest - how it ended was a weird ride - as the "leaders" turned out to be compromised/controlled ops & money rip-off artists. Have people forgotten how the Canadian govt supposedly claimed the donated funds but much of it was largely funneled into protest leaders' pockets? No honor among thieves. :/
Shades of the US/Black Lives Matters organization's overall graft & corruption too.
They’re part of the ‘Democracy Now’ set: left, confused and doubling down. They haven’t adjusted to the dark reality of the new normal. None of them opposed the mandates, which were the crux of the matter. They participated in the mendacious “anti-vaxxer” rhetoric. Even Taibbi and Greenwald did the “I’m vaccinated but..” schtik at the height of the corona crisis. Now they’re noisy, but not back when it mattered.
That was sad about the truckers. I do believe a huge majority were sincere all the way. A shame.
A subset of the BLM people did in fact go on a corporate and branding mission. Like good capitalists they saw an opportunity to profit on something and co-opted it. I'm sure a lot of t shirts were sold in Ottawa too.
BLM was initially funded and likely still controlled by Little Georgie of Our $orrow$...and now by his designated heir, his most vicious son.
By here, I mean the U.S.
That was the statement I riffed from.
Yes, dammit. Yes.
What are we going to leave future generations? Rolling over and saying, you win? Or throwing sand in their gas tanks at every single chance? Our choice.
“ I’m still not sure who I actually met in London, as we were all wearing identical Mickey-Mouse masks and speaking through portable voice modifiers. (In any secret meeting like this, you have to assume you’ve been infiltrated!)”
Please tell me that’s true.
As per usual, you nailed it. We are playing Chopsticks whilst the Bolshevik-Billionaire axis of evil is playing Bartok’s Piano Concerto No. 2.
Sorry that your points didn't go over well.
None of your stuff is kooky, it's all logical and easy to show.
Assange didn't want to question 911.
His team, including his wife didn't want to question COVID and the shots.
He very likely got a stroke in jail from the jabs.
It's typical for those who think they're aware of the situation to block out things.
Heck even Chris hedges, who is quick to mess with rfk Jr, couldn't touch 911 or COVID with a ten foot pole. He also didn't bother to call out Biden... You gotta wonder what kind of stupid or cowardice those freedom fighters have.
Controlled opposition, perhaps rather than stupid cowards. We would be stupid to think other wise.
I tend to lean that way because they know people who look into things and somehow these "heroes" didn't see the convid or 911 shams.
Hedges didn’t call out Biden? That surprises me, given his track record...
Well all I can say is that the last time the globalists staged a globally coordinated assault upon our freedoms and way of life, it was spectacularly successful. But then it all fell apart (well, some of it fell apart, the really crucial bits) and they failed to achieve their principal objective. So they're trying again. But this time they're going to need brute force and legislative sledgehammers rather than psy ops. So I don't know if they're going to be any more successful this time, even though they can see the forest, and we can't, because they can't always see what's happening on the forest floor.
"Legislative sledgehammers" *are* psy-ops.
One of their key tools happens to be the number of military age and often trained "illegal immigrants" swarming across our southwestern, essentially unguarded border. With scores of millions of Americans thinking more by the day of exercising their 2nd Amendment rights against the forces of tyranny; the MI-13 gangsters and other soul-less types being prepped and feted; the elites have their latest disposable foot-soldiers.
("The manipulation of our perception of reality.") - indeed. I only wish I had the energy to look at that whole - "the forest" - thingy you mention C.J., but of course currently I'm hopelessly bogged down these days in the age-old question of trying to determine if - "women" - can in fact - have "a penis," and if so, answering the obvious theological question that then presents itself - "how many trans-women can dance on the head of a pin?" How can I possibly focus my attention on our impending totalitarian nightmare - when GloboCap's media apparatus is constantly posing and promoting important questions such as these which are being debated daily and passionately on all media and all tech platforms? : /
Yeah, & have you/anyone noticed that it just so happens all of our "major" US blue cities are now run by increasingly corrupt globalist-trainees who don't know their ass from their elbow?
(Not that their mayor predecessors were any better - it's now just even worse. Things fall apart. Constant chaos. Do this, now do that. Endless, tedious, mind-numbingly bureaucratic bullshit.
All I can say is our cynicism is nihilistic and effectively is a gift to the psycho-sociopathic oligarchs who rule over us with such contempt. No matter what, we must resist in whatever way necessary to the bitter end. To do otherwise is to betray all that is good, innocent, beautiful and sacred.

Brilliant CJ, you hysterically capture the Westminster moment, then lay out the story, as it is. The US House now has a congressional record that has integrated all the great work, of Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger and Michael Benz, and conservatives are just getting started. People the world over have seen enough, heard enough--there’s angry moms out there taking taking over school boards and running for local office--and winning!
So how does the story end? I’ll tell you. We Organize. Community Organizing. That’s how they did it. We must lead in my country, America. Because we already have a First Amendment, and the didn’t steal it. We gave it away. Congress is on it and key US Senators are all over it. The congressional record report yesterday is a big deal.
Now is the time for legislative action to shut the door on legal loopholes that permitted this autocratic abuse of power. This will happen.
And we will help every one of those countries craft a tactical plan, with model legislation, or referendums, to adopt their own First Amendment. Let’s go!
You need a Second Amendment as well.
And the will to use those arms...
Empires don’t tend to disappear peacefully.
The Soviet Empire did, so did the British Empire, for the same reason - they spent huge amounts of money on the military, debased their currency, and went slowly, then suddenly, bankrupt. Same case for the Roman Empire - Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman empire is an instructive read.
England was on food rationing until 1955, an orange was a prized gift in a Christmas stocking.

Totally agree about “local, local, local.” However I don’t see Congress, in either Senate or House, doing anything more than performative actions. Yes hearings get information into the Congressional (AKA historical) Record, that’s about all.

I'm not anyone from anywhere. But, I'm graced to have some salient voices in the web. My belief, Pollyanna-is though it may be, is that they're on the run. The pandemic failed when half the world said No. They said no for a very broad variety of reasons, then it all started gelling when people saw ALL the reasons to say No. If they were winning they wouldn't need to lie. It would be in your face, cold hard facts. They aren't there yet...but it's critical all the truth warriors' words get spread far and wide. The lying MSM live in the protected beltway, thinking they're believed. Ha! Looking at their viewership tells you people no longer believe them. Then, thirst for truth gets them to folks who dispense the cold hard truth, that inspires the pushback. And, that's why they're not going to succeed. We are the Humans!!
It wasn't clear to me where your facts ended and your irony began. Whatever. If you listen to Taibi's podcasts you get the feeling that we've already let this go too far. Too much from too many directions. Taibbi probably knows more about this than anyone, and he does not sound optimistic.
Two hours ago I was sitting in a courtroom in Philadelphia listening to an appeal by Children's Health Defense in their case against Rutgers University's vaccine mandate. The case has been going on for (I believe) about two years, and they're basically nowhere. A favorable ruling by the 3 judge panel will only mean the trial may proceed. It would take an administrative miracle, in that instance, for the trial to begin this year. Justice delayed....
And this is just one case from among the tens of thousands of possible lawsuits, each of which (will be heard by unsympathetic agents of the same public and private entities that mandated the shots in the first place.
There is no easy way out of our current predicament. No way to undo our (and especially our children's) addiction to devices and media. That genie is never going back. I don't see any way to reform our institutions either. We're in big, big trouble.
It will take people getting together - in this case just not enrolling at Rutgers. Not enrolling at any university that mandates. That’s all it would take. That seems all but impossible.
The courts, particularly at the Feral level, are almost totally corrupted. They owe their allegiance to the United States of America Corporation, duly entered as such under the corporate statutes of the state of Dupont...excuse me, it is AKA Delaware.
And yet if you’d been at the event on Thursday night you’d have witnessed a pantomime playing out for the adoring fans of these anointed heroes.
It was mind-blowingly weird.
I was at the Thursday night event and found it quite bewildering. There was a performative quality to it. Much mutual back-slapping by the anointed hero characters on stage while they basked in the admiration from their assembled disciples.
We learnt nothing new. Few solutions were presented. All we got was “shock” at discovering what we already know. I’ve no idea why Brand permitted such off-topic questions about US politics.
Stella Assange’s ‘impromptu’ speech was particularly odd. How can she possibly think that denial of a high court appeal is “inexplicable” or be puzzled by the UK government’s collusion with the US?! Is she faking innocence and naivety for the audience’s benefit?
I came away wondering what was the point of it all.
Mr. Hopkins— I just love your writing. Bought all your books. Thank you.
I just want to say… If people want to FEEL, truly FEEL, what “Mr. Global”, what the predators want to do to us; if people want to feel what these monsters TRULY ARE, what truly drives them, what their deepest need is… read the book TRANCE-FORMATION OF AMERICA.
To read this book one experiences, down to the bone, what it’s like to live as a slave, inside and out; and for the author, Cathy O’Brian, it started at birth, with her parents perpetrating the first of the 10,000 crimes against her, then the CIA, then the presidents. and a thousand others. It’s an excruciating book, and very important.
