How the Unthinkable Became Thinkable Eric Lander, Julian Huxley and the Awakening of Sleeping Monsters

Matthew Ehret

Will we see biotechnology serve the interests of humanity under a multipolar paradigm that cherishes national sovereignty, human life, family, and faith?

As much as it might cause us a fair deal of displeasure and even an upset stomach to consider such ideas as the hold eugenics has on our presently troubled era, I believe that ignoring such a topic really does no one any favors in the long run.

This is especially serious, as leading World Economic Forum darlings like Yuval Harari flaunt such concepts as “the new global useless class” which Artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution is supposedly ushering in. Other Davos creatures like Klaus Schwab call openly for a microchipped global citizenry capable of interfacing with a global web with a single thought while Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg promote ‘neuralinks’ to “keep humanity relevant” by merging with computers in a new epoch of evolutionary biology.

Leading Darwinian geneticists like Sir James Watson and Sir Richard Dawkins openly defend eugenics while a technocracy consolidates itself in a governing station using a “Great Reset” as an excuse to usher in a new post-nation state era.

If there is something fundamentally evil lurking behind these processes which has any connection to the Anglo-American rise of fascism and eugenics nearly a century ago, then let’s at least have the courage to explore that possibility. It was after all, only by looking at this ugliness 80 years ago, that patriots were able to take appropriate measures to prevent a bankers’ technocratic dictatorship in 1933 and again during WW2.. so perhaps a similar display of courage to think the unthinkable might be worth the effort for those who might find themselves in a similar situation today.

What Didn’t Happen at Nuremburg?

Seventy-six years ago, as the allies were consolidating their victory over the Nazi machine and as the “Nuremburg Tribunals” were quickly being arranged, a new strategy was set into motion by the very same forces that had put vast energy, money and resources into the rise of fascism as “the miracle solution” of post-WWI economic chaos that had spread across Europe and the USA.

It is among the greatest scandals of our age that the Wall Street- City of London machine that financed Hitler and Mussolini as battering rams for a new world order were never actually brought to justice.

Although Franklin Roosevelt managed to put a leash on Wall Street between 1933-1945, while setting the world stage for a beautiful post-war vision of win-win cooperation, the darker forces of the financier oligarchy who wanted only to establish a global unipolar system of governance not only avoided punishment, but wasted no time to regain their lost hegemony before the war had come to a close.

The Role of Sir Julian Huxley

One of the conceptual grand strategists of this process was a man named Julian Sorrel Huxley (1887-1975). Celebrated as a biologist, and social reformer, Julian was a devout life-long member of the British Eugenics Society serving alongside John Maynard Keynes as secretary and later as its president.

Julian was a busy man, who along with his brother Aldous, worked hard to fill the very large shoes of their grandfather Thomas (aka: Darwin’s bulldog). While simultaneously managing the post-WW2 eugenics movement, Julian found himself setting into motion the modern environmental movement as founder of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 1948, co-founding the World Wildlife Fund in 1961, created the term “transhumanism” and also founding an immensely influential United Nations body called UNESCO (abbreviated for the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization) in 1946 which he ran as Director General from 1946-1948.

The mandate for the new organization was set out clearly in Huxley’s 1946 UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy:

The moral for UNESCO is clear. The task laid upon it of promoting peace and security can never be wholly realised through the means assigned to it- education, science and culture. It must envisage some form of world political unity, whether through a single world government or otherwise, as the only certain means of avoiding war… in its educational programme it can stress the ultimate need for a world political unity and familiarize all peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a world organization.”

To what end would this “world political unity” be aimed? Several pages later, Huxley’s vision is laid out in all of its twisted detail:

At the moment, it is probable that the indirect effect of civilization is dysgenic instead of eugenic, and in any case it seems likely that the dead weight of genetic stupidity, physical weakness, mental instability and disease proneness, which already exist in the human species will prove too great a burden for real progress to be achieved. Thus even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”

After the world got the chance to see what a eugenics program looked like under the full support of a fascist social engineer, it would be no exaggeration to say that it lost a good deal of popularity in the eyes of a world population still very much connected to traditional cultural institutions like Christianity, patriotism and respect for sacredness of life.

Even though thirty U.S. States and two Canadian provinces had legalized eugenics policies (including forced sterilization of the unfit) between 1907-1945, the statistical science and political application of eugenics ground to a screeching halt by the end of World War 2 and as Huxley iterated in his manifesto, something new had to be done.

A Word on Tavistock

Huxley also worked very closely with London’s Tavistock Clinic that received funding from both Rockefeller and Macy Foundations throughout the 1930s-1950s.

Led by a psychiatrist named Brigadier General John Rawlings Rees, Tavistock can be best understood as the “psychiatric branch of the British Empire” established in 1921 which innovated psychiatric techniques using mixtures of Pavlovian behaviorism and Freudian theories to influence group behavior in a variety of ways.

Early on, the clinic explored the extreme mental conditions of shell shock victims who suffered cases of psychological deconstruction during the terrors of trench warfare recognizing the high degree of malleability in these subjects. As outlined by a brilliant 1996 EIR report by L. Wolfe, the idea behind Tavistock’s was always driven by a goal to figure out how the brain might be “depatterned” and deconstructed in order to be reconstructed anew like a blank slate with the hopes that this insight into individuals might be replicated later among broader social groups, and even whole nations. Many of this research was applied in the form of MK Ultra within the USA and will be the subject of a future report.

G. Brock Chisholm: Tavistockian Czar of World Health

One prominent psychiatrist who spent years working with Rees at Tavistock was a Canadian named G. Brock Chisolm.

In 1948, Chistolm founded a UN-affiliated body called the World Health Organization (WHO) with the aim of promoting mental and physical health of the world. A noble endeavor carrying much responsibility and power requiring a leader with exceptional insight into the nature of sickness and health. Sadly, based upon his own sick views of the nature of mankind and society, Chisholm was certainly the wrong man for the job.

Among the greatest causes of war and mental sickness in Chisholm’s mind were not to be found in imperialism or economic injustice, but rather in society’s belief in right and wrong. Writing in 1946 Chisholm laid out the purpose of “good” psychotherapy and education saying: “the reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of old people- these are the belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapy”.

But it wasn’t simply the “concept of right and wrong” or “faith in the certainties of old people” which had to be eradicated, but monotheistic religion, family, and patriotism. Speaking eight years later, Chisholm said: “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism and religious dogmas”.

The World Goes Mental

Once UNESCO and the WHO were firmly in place, a third organization was created to drive the funding, and the practice of global mental health.

As outlined by historian Anton Chaitkin, funded primarily by the Macy Foundation, the World Federation of Mental Health (WFMH) was created in 1948. The Macy Foundation itself which was created in 1930 under the leadership of General Marlborough Churchill (cousin to Winston) who had been in charge of covert military intelligence from 1919-1929 in the form of the “Black Chamber”. His new foundation was a part of the Rockefeller machine and used as a conduit to pour money into “health sciences” with a focus on eugenics.

The US technical coordinator to the conference that created the WFMH made the new organization’s origins clearly known. Nina Ridnour wrote “the World Federation for Mental Health… had been created upon the recommendation of the United Nations World Health Organization and UNESCO because they needed a non-governmental mental health organization with which they could cooperate.”

And just who would become the first Director General of the WFMH?

While still acting as the head of London’s Tavistock Clinic, Brigadier General John Rawlings Rees was put in charge of the new body by none other than arch-racist Montagu Norman (head of the Bank of England) who had created the operation out of his National Association for Mental Health run out of his London Thorpe Lodge home.

Describing this strategic battle plan to reform society, Rees said:

If we prepare to come out into the open and to attack the social and national problems of our day, then we must have the shock troops, and these cannot be provided by psychiatry based wholly in institutions. We must have mobile teams of psychiatrists who are free to move around and make contacts with the local area.”

The idea of mobile teams of psychiatric shock troops was an idea advanced by leading grand strategist Lord Bertrand Russell who had written in 1952’s “Impact of Science on Society”:

I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology…. Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called “education.” Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part…. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment.”

The Bi-Polar Cold War and a New Global Paradigm

Over the ensuing years, UNESCO, the WHO and WFMH worked in tandem to coordinate hundreds of influential sub organizations, universities, research labs, and covert science including the CIA’s MK Ultra in order to bring about the desired “mentally healthy” society cleansed of its connections to Christianity, faith in truthfulness, national patriotism or family.

By 1971, the world was ripe for a big change.

The baby boomer targets of this vast social engineering experiment had been inundated by a vast arsenal of cultural warfare on every level. While LSD was spread across campuses of America, and assassinations of western leaders who resisted the new age of wars in Southwest Asia became the norm, the baby boomers watched as their loved ones returned from Vietnam in body bags. “Not trusting anyone over 30” became the new wisdom as love of country was suffocated under the unnatural spread of Anglo-American imperialism abroad and COINTEL PRO-style operations at home.

When the CFR and Trilateral Commission unpegged the US dollar from the gold reserve, a new age of deregulation, consumerism and radical materialism was ushered in causing the baby boomer generation to quickly transmogrify into the 1980s hyper-materialist “me” generation.

On an ecological level, a new ethic of “conservationism” had begun to move from the fringes into the mainstream replacing the former pro-industrial ethic of the producer-creator society that had historically governed the best of western civilization.

Chief among the creators of this new conservation ethic which replaced the idea of “protecting humanity from empire” with “protecting nature from mankind”, was none other than Julian Huxley himself. During the same year that he co-founded the World Wildlife Foundation, Huxley drafted the Morges Manifesto (1961) as the organizing manifesto for the modern ecology movement pitting human civilization in stark contrast to the supposedly closed, mathematical equilibrium of nature.

Huxley co-founded the WWF with arch Malthusians Prince Philip “I want to be reincarnated as a deadly virus” Mountbatten and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.

Holdren’s Planetary Regime

By the mid-1970s, one of the leading neo-Malthusians of that era, Paul Ehrlich mentored a young protégé named John Holdren and together they produced a stomach-turning manual called Ecoscience in 1977 where the pair wrote:

Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime- sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all-natural resources, renewable or non-renewable, at least insofar as international implications exist.

Thus, the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.

The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.

Considering that these words were written just three years after Henry Kissinger’s NSSM-200 report that transformed U.S. foreign policy doctrine from pro-development to pro-population reduction, Holdren’s 1977 words should not be taken lightly.

The Human Genome Project Revives Sleeping Monsters

During the ensuing decades, Holdren became close friends with a Harvard-based Rhodes Scholar and mathematician named Eric Lander who led the Human Genome Project from 1995-2002. Lander announced the success of the unveiling of the fully sequenced human genome in 2003 saying:

The Human Genome Project represents one of the remarkable achievements in the history of science. Its culmination this month signals the beginning of a new era in biomedical research. Biology is being transformed into an information science”.

Commenting on the potential for steering human evolution made possible by Lander’s Human Genome Project and the new developments in mRNA CRISPR technology then unfolding, Sir Richard Dawkins wrote in 2006:

IN THE 1920s and 1930s, scientists from both the political left and right would not have found the idea of designer babies particularly dangerous – though of course they would not have used that phrase. Today, I suspect that the idea is too dangerous for comfortable discussion, and my conjecture is that Adolf Hitler is responsible for the change… I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler’s death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons. Or why it is acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them. I can think of some answers, and they are good ones, which would probably end up persuading me. But hasn’t the time come when we should stop being frightened even to put the question?”

It wasn’t long before Holdren found himself enjoying greater power than he had ever imagined as science czar and architect of Obama’s “evidence-based” program of governance which involved maximizing funding for green tech to decarbonize humanity under new systems of global governance. Lander worked closely with Holdren as the co-chair of Obama’s science council and also with Whitehead Institute President David Baltimore on the creation of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Together Lander and Baltimore oversaw a major 2015 conference on the “new era of biomedical research” that unveiled a new gene modification technology known as CRISPR involving the use of enzymes and RNA found in ecoli which were discovered to have the ability to target DNA sequences and induce various mutations. While it is obvious that this powerful technology offers potential good to humanity as a tool to eliminate hereditary diseases in humans and in crops, CRISPR’s incredible power to fundamentally alter human DNA forever can do unimaginable harm if put into the wrong hands.

At the “historic” international summit on human gene editing in December 2015, conference chairman David Baltimore echoed the creepy words of Julian Huxley during his keynote speech: “over the years, the unthinkable has become conceivable. We’re on the cusp of a new era in human history.”

In January 2021, John Holdren congratulated Erik Lander for being appointed Joe Biden’s Science Czar (Director of White House Science and Technology Policy)- the position formerly held by Holdren.

In this position, Lander has overseen the re-activation of every Obama-era science policy as part of a technocratic overhaul of the US government in conformity with the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda. Using the vast power of the Emergency Authorization Act to bypass the FDA and steamroll gene therapy technologies passing themselves off as “vaccines”, a new social experiment has begun.

CRISPR technology is already being hailed as a key to solving the new mutating strains of COVID-19 and is being used as a “vaccine” for certain tropical diseases as of this writing. The obvious connection between eugenics organizations of yesterday and the rise of modern mRNA operations associated with GAVI and Oxford’s Astra Zeneca unveiled by investigative journalist Whitney Webb earlier this year should be kept firmly in mind.

Will this technology be used by modern-day heirs of Nazi-sponsoring eugenicists in an effort to pick up where Dr. Mengele left off OR will we see this biotechnology serve the interests of humanity under a multipolar paradigm that cherishes national sovereignty, human life, family, and faith?

Future installments in this series will explore the eugenic roots of Transhumanism, Artificial Intelligence, and the Great Reset. We will also tackle the Frankfurt School, the rise of Wiener’s Cybernetics and the program outlined by Bertrand Russell and David Hilbert in 1900 to stuff the entire universe into a stagnant dead cage.

This is part 1 of a 3 part series on the modern history of eugenics which originally appeared on Strategic Culture. Parts 2 and 3 will be published on OffG in the near future, and are already available here.

“I fought The Enlightenment and Nietsche won.”

At least this ATL commentator shows some apprehension of a long historical process that almost none of the vapid narcissists gathering under the post-Nietzschean paranoia-and-panic banner bother to consider, any more than their genetically pure ancestors did: too much personal culpability involved in that little exercise. Their grandparents, and their grandparents, shoved the whole prickly number under the carpet and now? Their descendents are still up to their ears keeping it there while wailing by the rivers of Babylon for the return of faith in a God they killed for one more night of feasting on his and/or her corpse. But unfortunately it”s” Eat shit and die,” as their Bible used to say.

Sure he mentions eugenics, but maybe this isn’t necessarily a racially biased, but a search for a more optimal man. Of course, this is fraught with innumerable problems, such as, who decides what an optimal man looks or quacks like? But nonetheless, to assume that we don’t hem our way to the borders of our potential in order to see to the next horizon of endeavour is a little short sighted. It would be cruel to erase people with undesirable traits, obviously. But a world in which physical or mental ailments no longer dogged humanity would be preferable as these illnesses make the quality of a person suffering an ailment, potentially, less enjoyable. I think we are dealing with a naïve man rather a nefarious one here.

“And in the preamble to its Constitution it expressly repudiates racialism and any belief in superior or inferior “races,” nations, or ethnic groups.” Why does Huxley say this if he is a eugenicist? Moreover, it seems confusing that he makes UNESCO impartial. I expect that this is probably to hide his true agenda, I suppose.

This Article by Matthew Ehret is completely Brilliant.
I have nothing to add to it. Yeh, I have had The Tavistock Treatment too, but refused to go on the final course, cos I witnessed what it did it did to my mate. It completely changed him. No spark any more. Now a company man. Great at doing a performance, but no original content, from what was a great mind. Just now being programmed to say, what he he had programmed to say. Still a nice man, but no content…

They had brainwashed him, removed his mind by using his deepest fears against him, when he was confident, and least expected it., and replaced it.

I couldn’t take it any more and RESIGNED

I Knew it was Bollocks. Do you want to see the London Bus?

I guess you have seen the “bright future” prepared for us by the World Economic Forum. Here’s in another one, written in Feb. 2020 by the govt of Canada. It’s called “Exploring Biodigital Convergence”. Please click on “Good Morning Biodigital” on the Table of Contents. You’ll find gems, like these (among many others). Everything is fine beside freedom.

“Everything looks all right, so I check my brain’s digital interface to read the dream data that was recorded and processed in real time last night. My therapy app analyzes the emotional responses I expressed while I slept”

“While I’m brushing my teeth, Jamie, my personal AI, asks if I’d like a delivery drone to come pick up my daughter’s baby tooth, which fell out two days ago. The epigenetic markers in children’s teeth have to be analysed and catalogued on our family genetic blockchain in order to qualify for the open health rebate, so I need that done today.”

“Also, I’ll admit that it sounds gross, but it’s a good thing the municipality samples our fecal matter from the sewage pipes. It’s part of the platform to analyze data on nutritional diversity, gut bacteria, and antibiotic use, to aid with public health screening and fight antibiotic-resistant strains of bacterial infections.”

“I wonder whether, some 60 years after Hitler’s death, we might at least venture to ask what the moral difference is between breeding for musical ability and forcing a child to take music lessons.”

Just bugger off, Dawkins.
You’re a nasty person and having “Sir” in front of your name doesn’t change that one bit.

You make this example an issue between two alternative propositions, but the glaringly obvious third proposition, which you probably ignore because you are not at all musical yourself, (i.e. you are musically handicapped, unfit, inferior and probably deserving of sterilization) is the child who is not ‘forced’ to take music lessons, but is encouraged by the mere presence of good music in his/her environment to feel drawn towards its inspiring qualities, along with many other widely-varied possibilities.

Your example pretends that the matter is confined to a restricted choice between two propositions which are not even mutually exclusive.

In addition, your opportunistic Hyde-Park-Corner provocation syndrome is closely related to common-or-garden attention-craving syndrome, which is another aberration ripe for addition to the list of those conditions which reveal specimens of humanity which are in fact found to be badly wanting in that very ‘human’ component considered by the best of our species to be indispensible for meaningful life.

In your case, Oxford was a mistake.

I don’t think I’ve seen much of a change in Attenborough over the seventy years since I first saw him on a neighbour’s TV.
His infectious enthusiasm for the wonders of Nature could hardly be faked over such a long period, but it seems to me reasonable to assume a certain naivety on his part concerning matters which go beyond his chosen field – which is admittedly a huge field.

He is really pretty old now, and so famous that people seek his opinion on all sorts of matters which have never really interested him. Matters where he has no more to say than anybody else.
But I wouldn’t designate that as having ‘gone off the rails’.
He is truly one of the most remarkable people I have ever come across, and that won’t have changed by the time he comes to the end of an amazing life.

Dawkins, on the other hand, was born off the rails – undoubtedly through no fault of his own.
I am not bitter about such people, but my jaw does drop sometimes at the wilful waste of human intellect.

It is what he and hisl ilk, such as Jane Goodall, leave unsaid. They ignore research showing that aboriginal and native peoples have been instrumental in conserving nature. They prefer the alternative: herding the masses into towns and leaving the rest of the planet to the wise management of the overlords.

Yes, indeed.
I also suspect that at least part of what he leaves unsaid is because he doesn’t know anything about it.

I met Dawkins once. He was coming to do a talk at a local school and was meant to bring his then wife Lalla Ward. She was the one I really wanted to meet (to check out her selfish genes – ARF!) but she had to opt out for reasons I can’t recall. So I was stuck with him!

I’m convinced now that he is just an Oxford version of the trolls we see all over the media today. His thought processes are obtuse, self-fulfilling circles of prophesy which use graceless denial as both a first and a last resort.

I once read a great piss take of John Lennon’s Imagine as rewritten by Dawkins. It went something like this:

“Imagine, if you will, that there is no heaven
I think you’ll find it easy if you try
Probably no hell below us
Above us, in fact, only sky

Imagine all the people
Were as clever as I

You may say I’m from Oxford
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
For some sherry and a bun”

Was forced to study classical music as a child. Got quite good at several instruments. Hated it. Haven’t touched either of them since leaving my parents house.

Would never wish what I went through on my child. Being modified prior to birth for the same purpose would be worse.

Very sad to hear that.
I was never forced to study classical music, but I loved it from my earliest years of hearing it on BBC radio. My father loved it too, and although he was not a very active practical musician, he knew a lot about the subject, and his enthusiasm was infectious.

I only mention this as an example of a different scenario from yours.
I couldn’t be kept away from a piano if there was one anywhere near, and although I was no better than anybody else as an ivory tickler when I was six years old, I later ended up doing pretty well as a concert pianist after a musical education second to none.

It would have been typical of me to rebel if I had been forced to take lessons, and I can even admit there were times I would have preferred to enjoy Saturdays with my pals instead of going to piano lessons.

But I was hooked, and my teacher was an inspiration. It was the music itself which did that to me. Nothing to do with parental control. I wish every musician could have such a start to their career, but at least some do, thank heaven.

The moe I dig into Biology and Physics the more I think they are both operating on massively faulty paradigms – and faulty in the same way. It’s a macro and micro thing, the universe within and without being fundamentally misconceived. I guess it could be accidental – both came up with faulty paradigms that happen to resemble each other independently – but the “as above, so below” nature of it reeks of secret society manipulation.

Both attach far too much importance to teeny-weeny little particles (pathogens in Biology, atoms in Physics – heck, even light is claimed to be a particle if only out of desperation about how light waves could travel through the vacuum of space… they can’t).These teeny-weeny particles can’t be seen and verified by ordinary people so one needs very expensive lab tech paid for by those kind disinterested foundations to study them. Both attach far too little importance to electricity. The universe and the body look to be much more electrical in their functioning than “the science” says (or “the science” that will get on telly – there are plenty of Biologists and Physicists who’ve been arguing this for years).

It is only logical for a creature that is aware that it has evolved to contribute to its further evolution–if you actually believe the Darwinian fairy tale. Of course, the idea that humans can be consistently logical is nonsense, but the idea of eugenics is bad? Why? Why should we let mentally retarded people breed, so we have more public school teachers and university professors? Why should we let psychopaths breed, so we have more politicians and military leaders? Oh, you have some congenital disease? By all means, breed and pass it on makes total sense. Look at the money spent on welfare in the US the majority of which goes to truly useless eaters. If you want a welfare check then it is time to see the vet and get spayed and/or neutered.

(When I put it as a “wondering if critical eye” I hope to spare the time in due diligence to all these issues and histories that Ehret has detailed, tearing a page from Rosemary Frei and several others, in fact-checking all this in depth, since the architecture of these UNESCO and UN networks and tentacles bear the imprint of such odd and distinctive -and unelected- personalities. I worked over a month in Esteban E. Torres office in ’88, he told me 20 years later he had been Jimmy Carter’s appointee to UNESCO. I even had a long dinner conversation one night with Julian Huxley’s sister-in-law, Laura Huxley. She seemed to me a real innocent, as a friend of Timothy Leary and widow of Aldous, but then even Marshall McLuhan seemed to have been bamboozled by Leary. It was McLuhan who coined for Leary his tagline, by the way, over lunch one day:”Turn on, tune in, drop out.”

Yeah, right? McLuhan was even an ardent Catholic and Mariolatrist, first drawn to the faith by Chesterton, as I was intrigued to find, since I had experienced that same very startling result.

Hard to figure. But then I find that epistemology, like life, is a funny old dog. Some seem to know so much, and from other vantages, almost nothing. Aldous and Dawkins ad Bertrand come to mind. They remind me of Oscar Wilde’s brief story, “The Remarkable Rocket” or of colorful balloons. So eye-catching, by certain bright light, until they encounter an object as sharp and pointed as they are bright!)

This article, even before further study of its subjects, brings to light the many strange roots of our current debacle. Just an awful fix. But knowledge and understanding of them sow the seeds for possible antidotes. Maybe we can devise a sort of psyop vaccine! Lol

I’ve received many notices in the mail asking me if I’m interested in selling my house. “Cash payment, condition doesn’t matter, etc.”. For the first time, I received a phone call last week doing the same thing. The lady on the phone asked if I was who I was, so I hesitantly said yes, then she kind of slowly asked if I’d be interested in selling my house. That’s it, nothing about price or why or anything. It’s not like I have a special house or anything, it’s a ranch house on a typical block among many in a suburb. They could have, and probably did, picked any on the block for the same purpose. Of course, who knows if she was from Blackrock, there’s plenty playing this game, but it certainly is a step up.
Btw, I told her no and hung up. Greed is quite irritating.

This is truly excellent. Utterly reasonable, and completely focused on us all keeping our minds open and willing to listen.
He gives examples of how one thing leads to another only if it is credible, and how anything calling itself ‘science’ has to be credible.
He even admits that people such as myself, who do not automatically believe everything he says, can persuade him to change his mind – if their arguments are credible – and he also points out why, for example, some statements by Fauci (who is apparently a scientist) are not credible and raise red flags for intelligent people.
You can’t say fairer than that…

A lot of people, who write here, give me the distinct impression, they don’t like me. I don’t worry about it too much. I am just amazed when anything I write appears here.

Yes, I could run my own blog, but doing that, brings with it a lot of responsibility. I would have to moderate the comments from the psycho’s or I might get sued, from what they write on my blog…if I see it and don’t delete it before I get a knock on the door from The Secret Police. I am getting quite old, and can’t be arsed with that…So I wrote this…You do not have to publicise it, but I don’t mind if you do.

Our Garden looks like a Young Child’s Playground, and that is OK, because that is what it is. Hopefully, the Parents of our Grandchildren’s friends, will let their friends come round soon.

My Wife is a fully qualified Registered Childminder. They even checked me out, took about a year.

She used to charge, cos it was her Business looking after kids, and she paid quite a lot of tax.

HMRC have finally decided, that she doesn’t have to fill in a tax form again.

She doesn’t charge now. The kids can come for Free.

Not sure about some of the Parents though.

Deja vu all over again. We been here before, everything’s bigger, but it’s still the same. We have to bridge the divide and conquer tactics. I was in a store yesterday standing in line. The person at the counter was a young hispanic kid, had the pants halfway down the butt the way some kids still like to do, and he bought these smoke things, don’t even know what they are, vapes I guess, about 20 bucks each. I remarked to the guy in front of me who wasn’t wearing a mask, looked like cowboy type, big dude, buzz cut hair, that I wondered if you could get high from those things because of the price. He kind of grunted and didn’t really respond to my small talk. He didn’t look too friendly to this aging long haired, tie dyed wearing hippie or the minority kid with the pants down his butt. Then he went to the counter and asked for three cans of smokeless tobacco which were about the same price as the kid’s vapes. Three different people, probably all agree about this bullshit we’re going thru (the kid wasn’t wearing a mask either, nor was I), but somehow divided by purposely constructed barriers. It’s not all media, it’s not all political parties, it’s how we’ve allowed our societies to develop. It’s pretty clear here in the U.S., has been since the sixties really. That brought it all out. We’re just going to have try again.

Had the same experience yesterday. The suburb I was working in, only saw 3 people the whole day without a mask on, yet people came up and still purchased off me despite me not wearing a facemask. I actually sold out in fact.
I got the strong impression maybe 25% of them knew it was all complete bullshit, yet they were still going along with it.
I even had a cop car drive past and was expecting them to stop and come over and ask why I was maskless. Nope, they went into the nearby cafe, got their coffees and left.
The barista of that cafe who I know knew the mask thing was crap. One of those three people I saw not wearing one knew there was no pandemic and it was a giant scam because I spoke to him last year.
But yesterday, despite my cheerful greeting and asking how he was, he wouldn’t stop and kept walking.
A second person, tried to strike up a conversation with him, but he made it clear he didn’t want to talk.
You’re right Big Al… a lot of divide and conquer tactics going on here.

Mandatory masks inside and outside here in Melbourne. You know, raging pandemic and all that. Just went to a laundromat, whole heap of washing, maskless of course, the two other people in there didn’t say a word. They just stared at their phones.
Then went to Coles, walked past the lady at the entrance with the QR code table. She didn’t even blink.
Spent nearly 20 mins walking round Coles then went to the self serve checkout, paid cash. Then went to the info desk for, er, “items”. Cough. Then went back to the laundry and collected my washing. A few more in there by then.
The whole time, not one person said a word. No one stared. Nothing.
I only spotted one other person in Coles without a mask on, and almost called out hello, but she looked a bit nervous, and turned down an aisle before I was close enough.
I hope your coffee was good…

Good article. The current resurgence of eugenics fits perfectly with the technocratic worldview pushed by the WEF and its acolytes. Under the guise of “science” (which is really Scientism, i.e. science as political ideology) they claim all of their biological and transhumanist tinkering is for the benefit of mankind and that they simply want to “help” humanity live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

Because obscenely wealthy oligarchs have always been known for their selflessness and their commitment to humanitarian ideals…lol.

How long before euthanasia becomes an acceptable “solution” to the burdensome task of, say, caring for a child with Down’s Syndrome? After all, you’d be doing it to “help” the kid and put it out of its misery so you can sleep easy at night knowing you’re a caring person who “did the right thing.”

Turn science – a method of inquiry that objectively tests hypotheses about the physical (i.e. observable) aspects of the world and the universe – into a religious ideology that purports to find technocratic solutions for moral and ethical conundrums related to governance, politics and the human condition, and it’s not long before the eugenics handbook is dusted off, revised (no longer called ‘eugenics’ of course) and reprinted for a new, ideologically primed audience.

Scientism and technocracy use methods that are perfectly fine for designing and building hydroelectric dams and aircraft engines (physical and observable) and apply them to the task of “managing” human beings and human societies. Treating humans and the challenges of governing and coexistence dispassionately and “objectively” is dehumanizing in the extreme and can only result in eventual disaster.

There is a reason the humanities are called what they are and are separate disciplines from the physical (hard) sciences. It is true that the humanities departments in western academic institutions are currently overrun with delusional woke ideologues but this state of affairs is temporary and denigrating the humanities as a concept is a textbook throwing the baby out with the bath water error.

One would not use philosophy to design a radio telescope and it is similarly foolish, and dangerous, to apply STEM thinking to philosophical problems concerning good government, the good life etc. for which the humanities are perfectly suited.

If we are to avoid going further down the technocratic rabbit hole and courting major disaster, the psychopathic STEMlords of Silicon Valley, the WEF and the technocratic elite need to be cut down to size and put in their place and the humanities need to be purged of the woke identity warriors and their half-baked ideological lunacy. The fact that the globalist STEM crowd and the wokes are batting for the same team despite ostensibly being on opposing sides speaks volumes.

This isn’t about trashing science and STEM or glorifying philosophy and the humanities, it’s about using the right tools for the right job. Both STEM and the humanities are essential tools that humans can’t do without but currently half of the tools have been corrupted and are being used as ideological cudgels with which to beat the populace into submission, while the other half have been taken over by psychopathic technocrats who use them to dehumanize and “manage” humans using science as a cover.

Together these two factions have launched a massive social engineering project that menaces humanity on multiple levels. Several years ago I was thinking “hmm, I wonder how long it will take before eugenics makes a comeback and under what guise it will be smuggled into respectable society?” Well, that time is now and they are doing it to “help” people and to “save” humanity from infectious diseases, overpopulation, crazy people etc.

Of course it’s only the proles and the troublemakers (sinners) that need to be “helped” and “saved.” Our technocratic overlords are already all-wise and all-knowing and by gifting us with their expertise they are doing us a favour for which we should be grateful. Only a conspiracy theorist would think otherwise 😉

Peter Abraham made an interesting point below about the young mind grasping math and science better than the older mind, but failing at… life. That popped into my mind when reading your excellent comment, above. The youngest President, JFK (a terrorist who even today is worshipped by almost everyone, Right, Left and in between, such is the power of white), had his ‘action intellectuals’ (technocrats), such as Robert McNamara, running the Vietnam War. From pages 8 & 9 of “For Reasons Of State” by Noam Chomsky:

=== =
Furthermore, the technician who is concerned with transforming counterinsurgency theory into operational reality in the absence of laboratory control need not concern himself with the origin of the idea that the Viet Cong may be Chinese agents. This “issue,” a hypothesis originating in someone else’s department, merely sets the terms of the technical problem, which the counterinsurgent theorist is therefore free to address, understanding nothing. Facts are no more relevant to him than they were to Dean Acheson when he urged aid and recognition for the Bao Dai government in May 1949 to safeguard Vietnam from “aggressive designs of Commie Chi” (DOD, bk. 8, pp. 190-1).

In fact, the function of the hypothesis is transparent: by assuming it, one can squarely face the problem of repressing the nationalist movement of Vietnam, untroubled by sentimental moral qualms, since the enemy is really China (or perhaps the Kremlin, which is directing a “coordinated offensive” against Southeast Asia), not Vietnam. This kind of thinking, it that is the right word, goes a long way towards explaining the barbarism of the Vietnam war, in which the world’s most advanced technology is pitted against the nationalist movement “captured” by the Viet Cong…

“It is difficult to plot aggression “under the lights of a democracy.” How much more convenient it is merely to face technical problems, as neutral in an ethical sense as those of physics.”
= ===

I guess that you can be an action intellectual or just wise. Action is good, depending. JFK was not a thinker, although he was confident and poised and appeared to be. Kennedy sought glory through foreign policy (not domestic policy such as civil rights) and the concept of the “internal enemy,” which meant ‘the people’, originated in the Kennedy administration. Kennedy was not a political innovator, except tangentially in applying Keynesianism to the military. Kennedy was utterly conventional and as a Senator accomplished nothing noteworthy other than the usual anti-communist blather. As President, he was instrumental in making counterrevolution and counterinsurgency (war against the people) an industry and, essentially, a policy of government. See my essay “Thinking About Thinking.”

No one is saying otherwise. But the greater power, among the human race, has been represented in the Anglo/American segment of humanity. For example, the world is run by the transnational capitalist class and the some 17 financial giants. While that club is not exclusive when it comes to race, it’s actual membership (as Maximilian Forte notes) is predominantly American and, I believe, white American. In my essay, which I don’t know whether you read or not, I also talk about the White Helmets. I wasn’t talking solely about race.

*I just noticed that I had not even linked to that essay in the above quote, so I don’t know why you made that comment.

Also, in the Christian Bible, which you may or may not have any use for (which is absolutely your choice), the dual Anglo/American world power makes up the seventh head on the 2nd 7 headed wild beast of the book of Revelation. It’s a human political entity (which is why the angel told John that 666 is a man’s number; used in the Bible to symbolize missing the mark from God’s standpoint) and the Bible notes that it gets its authority from the dragon, namely the first 7 headed wild beast of Revelation. The dragon is identified as Satan, who today has taken on the role of Gog (meaning darkness). The political wild beast has seven heads because there have been seven dominant world powers since Egypt who, from the Bible’s standpoint, have taken a stand against Jehovah and engaged in the persecution of his people. 1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon 4. Medo-Persia 5. Greece 6. Rome 7. Britain/America.

Truth be told, Scientism at its root is less political ideology than religious dogma. Politics is merely its praxis form.

From my peasant point of view, it is a convenient term for the more easily overtable aspects of “occultism”, which is a polite term for godless materialism, which is “sanitized” form for devil(s) worship.

But to publish that would be reactionary.

Bear in mind “dying with covid” is not the same as being killed by the virus. It just means they received a positive PCR at some point probably while sick with something else. Even if that wasn’t a false positive (and it likely was) that still does not provide any evidence they were even infected with SARSCOV2 let alone died from it.

And sad to say the stage is being set for the unvaccinated to be blamed for the upcoming slaughter of the innocents with child vaccinations.Unvaccinated people are about to be taken to the level of paedophiles and mass murderers in the closed minds of the new cult adherents and the government orchestrated campaign will serve a multitude of uses once the lynchings start (metaphorically speaking of course…that couldn’t happen….could it?) .Imagine martial law being imposed to ‘save’ the unjabbed from the hordes of screaming mothers wanting blood,imagine internment camps for our (the unjabbed) own protection with property seizures as an added bonus,all these are possibilities and not a forced vaccination in sight

Talking of Bertrand Russell:

The idea of mobile teams of psychiatric shock troops was an idea advanced by leading grand strategist Lord Bertrand Russell who had written in 1952’s “Impact of Science on Society”:

Before the Soviets acquired the Atomic Bomb, Russell was advocating preemptive atomic bombing of the Soviet Union but he quickly changed his mind, after they got the Bomb and was subsequently instrumental in the creation of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. I think the North Koreans had a quick lesson in power politics.

Very interesting line of thought Willem!

Now consider one of Eriksen’s former team mates; Harry Kane wants to move clubs and there is talk of a fee in excess of … I’m not sure how many 000s. This is one very valuable man and the value is not just in him “having an eye for the ball”, he’s also a very fine physical specimen.

So how do the selling and buying clubs in any possible transfer deal view his “vaccination status”? Has he had the jabs? Will he take it when invited? Will the contract have a clause?

I think we should be told.

To my late mind, I had thought that the over-the-top spiking of virus “cases” through hugely hyped PCRs, was to provide a cover for the “lockdown” and to promote a “need” for vaccines, where as a matter of fact, the deeper reason is to provide a cover for the deaths and adversities pluming from the vaccines themselves. California has 63,000 deaths and change, to a country of comparable size (75%), namely Venezuela, and at last look, under 3,000? I had thought that our having here 20 times as many fatalities was a way of justifying lockdown when the real tally would never argue for closing down the whole state, or world.

But in fact, across the board, the USA “deaths” and other NATO countries have been running, like Ferguson’s projections, right about twenty times more than the reality. India has only reported 10% of the USA deaths.

So, what? Those Fergusonian numbers (grotesque exaggerations) were provided to disguise the reality that the deaths resulting from the vaccines are going to be far greater than the deaths from whatever fugitive virus we’re dealing with?

Perhaps others have pointed out that deep deception, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Footballers have been dying of «freak» heart-attacks on the pitch for years now – Google this and you’ll see an alarming number of cases. It’s interesting, but I doubt this is vaccine related.

Christian Eriksen collapses on the field of play at the Euros.

  1. Has he had a Covid19 vaccine recently?
  2. Was this the manifestation of an ‘adverse vaccine reaction’?
  3. Will the world be told the truth of his medical situation?

If unlicensed emergency global vaccination leads to elite athletes collapsing on the field of play, then all bets are off as to what happens next.

The assumption must be that the authorities will do anything to hide the truth if this is vaccine-related, so there can be no pussy footing about in terms of getting the truth out there.

The ball went out of play for a Denmark throw-in down near the corner flag. Rushing to receive the ball from whoever was taking it, Christian Eriksen collapsed face first into the turf as the ball hit his knee.Two nearby Finnish players, a Dane and referee Anthony Taylor immediately signalled for urgent medical assistance.

Yesterday a woman suddenly fell backwards on the escalator and couldn’t get up. Never seen anything like that happen before. The security guy told us later she was taken to hospital with a fracture. Two weeks ago in the Northern Territory a woman became comatose on a coach which had to be diverted and the event delayed all of us by 2 hours. Never had anything like that happen before. I suspect the lethal injections are working as intended.

(Incidentally as I learned yesterday you can stop an escalator by pressing red buttons at the top or at the bottom of the escalator (foot level) or by hitting the hand rail hard.)

The security services were clearly thinking about reintroducing nazi-style ostracism a few decades ago, as I well remember a discussion with a family member who is a member of the security services about ‘the step-wise movement toward how Jews got sent to the death camps’.

You don’t get recruited to the Security Services unless your morals are sufficiently flexible to adjust to those prescribed for you. It was clear that the ‘security service high fliers’ were already discussing the use of nazi-style propaganda nearly 20 years ago and had been discussing for a long time the societal conditions which would favour it actually coming to pass.

While it is obvious that this powerful technology offers potential good to humanity as a tool to eliminate hereditary diseases in humans and in crops, CRISPR’s incredible power to fundamentally alter human DNA forever can do unimaginable harm if put into the wrong hands.

With this extremely unwise and unhistorical statement, Matthew Ehret hands the argument back to those whose disastrous policies he critiques. No good will come until humanity finally realizes that science and technology CANNOT AND WILL NEVER be wrested from the grip of the “wrong hands.” Oh, to be sure, a bone now and again will be tossed to humanity; but that will be the extent of it.

On a broader and even stronger anti-science note, the progression of madness from attempts to dissect the human mind to attempts to re-write the human genome itself shows as clearly as need be what has gone on and continues unabated.

The “ruling class’s” disastrous policies have created existential threats to humanity which that same “ruling class” has used to create yet more existential threats in its efforts to hide the fruits of its madness.

And humanity itself will be eternally caught in the crosshairs of this madness until such time as the very concept of hierarchy is excised from human society. We could do worse than beginning the process with Science and Technology – which serve no useful purpose, all considered.

The BBC wrote about a Nepal variant. So we’ve had an English variant, then a Brazilian one, an Indian one (which the French authorities are using to make vaccination compulsory for those who test positive and live in what they labeled as a “cluster of the Indian variant” in Strasbourg. Its a bad precedent to be followed closely. There are 195 countries, so at this rate, some of us will be long dead and gone before all of the countries have been gone through.

Is this what we want?

Im told yes, that the majority are now in France happy because restaurants and bars and other entertainment places are now open, and overcrowded, even though you have to accept to be track and traced. People think it great that the president in his extreme kindness allowed the Rolland Garros crowd to follow tennis after curfew hours because according to the newspapers they are vaccinated, tested, track and traced. But the police used heavy handed methods to stop a group of youngsters enjoying themselves at Les Invalides: when asked, the police seemingly said they are neither vaccinated, tested, nothing, they could spread covid…

So welcome to France, the land of collaboration,

As for the cluster in Strasbourg, it has ABSOLUTELY NOT made anything mandatory for anybody (from the horse’s mouth here: https://www.dna.fr/sante/2021/06/12/variant-indien-a-strasbourg-(hear)-quatre-cas-positifs-des-mediateurs-dans-les-bars-et-restaurants-de-deux-quartiers).The incident is being used to “raise awareness” and dispense more hand sanitiser (OMG).

Down voting is a real problem on sites like Reddit that filter down voted posts to the bottom of the page (or eliminate them from view altogether), making it easy for trolls and bots to disappear posts they don’t like or elevate a comment they approve of to the top, ensuring it gets a lot of views.

Even in the absence of trolls or bots influencing votes, an up/down voting system simply measures opinion and imbues the yays with a truth value that is completely illogical.

A 100:1 up/down vote ratio on a statement that claims the earth is flat does not make it true. A statement such as “I like clouds” is not true or false and there is nothing to like or dislike in the first place no matter how many votes it gets. But in online “conservation” popularity is a proxy for ‘truth’ or higher value.

Up/down and like/dislike voting is a typical technocratic “solution” to a problem, in this case how to make dumbed down “conversation” on digital computing devices more nuanced, where no technocratic solution exists.

The only way to have a nuanced conversation is by using the mouth and vocal chords to talk to your interlocutors.

People seem to have missed that the internet “revolution”, which replaced regular in-person contact with a subpar digital proxy thereof, is part of the same bait and switch scam that is peddling technocratic, transhumanist “solutions” to mortality, disease and “overpopulation.”

Remember how the internet was sold? “Hey we’re just here to help make communicating easier and shopping more convenient!” Fast forward to 2021 and Faceborg and Scroogle control how you communicate and think and record your every move and utterance which they helpfully pass on to the security services when asked.

Meanwhile humans are becoming extremely online bug people having their brains pumped full of propaganda 24/7, afraid of their own shadows, scared to interact with other people in the flesh and even willing to snitch out or “cancel” wrong thinkers for daring to practice intellectual autonomy.

People seem to be becoming less literate, less empathetic, more antisocial and have a much harder time thinking critically and separating fact from propaganda. Yes, it’s a generalization and there are exceptions but these are things I’ve observed in many people, including myself at times.

What does this have to do with up/down votes? Well, up and down voting furthers the illusion that communicating using machines that can only process binary commands can be an acceptable proxy for a genuine and nuanced conversation between human beings. It’s a further slide down the rabbit hole of technocratic oblivion.

We’ve already dumbed ourselves down to the level of our “smart” devices and let a bunch of psychopathic technocrats and social engineers dictate how we communicate and what we are allowed to communicate and use our words against us. We even spend our hard earned shekels buying the very tools they enslave us with.

We didn’t see it coming the first time and fell for the bait and switch trap they set for us. So why would anyone want to go further down the rabbit hole and legitimize the entire scam that’s been, and being, pulled on humanity?

The internet isn’t going anywhere and in itself is not an evil tool…if it’s used as a tool to complement real life rather than, as it is now, replacing it with a cheap proxy whose purpose is to manipulate people into giving up control over their lives and submitting to the will of a very disturbed class of mentally ill elitist control freaks.

Though people who agree with what you say confirm you are not talking rubbish, and its always satisfying, but its the serious, yet kindly (i.e. constructive) criticism that helps you progress in your journey through life.

Indicating yay or nay is a very primitive and crude way for people to “express their views.”
An opinion without context, which is what an up or down vote is, adds nothing interesting or valuable to an online discussion.

During a normal face-to-face conversation or at a lecture/presentation would you shout “I agree!” or “I disagree!” after every statement a speaker makes? Unless you are a very odd person I don’t think so.

Voting up or down is just a quick way to satisfy the psychological urge to inject your opinion into a discussion and is absolutely useless if sharing information and ideas is the goal.

If you strongly agree or disagree with a comment, at least take the time to write it out and explain why you think what you think.

An online voting system’s primary function is to manipulate participants by offering a quick proxy for “truth” and shuffling down voted posts to the bottom of the pile (sometimes by default). Even if you know logically that an upvote is just a context-free opinion, it’s impossible to completely disentangle your mind from the manipulative aspect, especially if you’re using it as a sorting mechanism. Not to mention that trolls and bots vote too.

Anyway, Off-G isn’t as bad as, say, Reddit or Facebook because at least it doesn’t automatically sort by vote or disappear/hide heavily downvoted comments.

Downvoting is not a view. It is an easy way to dismiss someone or something without effort or cause. I believe it has a very profound psychological effect on readers, so it’s a tool for bullies: effortlessly dismiss others without needing to explain.

The effect is that if someone puts together a well thought out comment, a few trolls can come along, downtick it a few times, and then everyone who reads that comment sees it with the tainted eye of the downvotes. We know for a fact that negative comments linger with us longer than positive ones, like a bit of bad stuff will spoil a barrel, so downvotes do the same. They aren’t a fair medium. They effect my reading of comments and it dissuades me from reading.

I agree with you primarily because, as with any grouping of humans in a given setting, there are biases which prompt strong opinions.

Right H. If you read here long enough, you soon get a rough gage of who has which blind-spots/hot-buttons: which never-to-be-questioned, though wholly-unjustified certainties are cherished beyond reason by which posters.

Clearly the – objectively obvious – reality of population-overshoot is a fanatical no-no to quite a few denizens here; as is the equally obvious fact that the Earth’s climate is shifting constantly, on the geological timescale, and known green-house gases in the atmosphere always have an effect on that process (whether they come from human activity or other disruptive sources).

There are other issues too which bring on bouts of mindless knee-jerkery amongst those who have idees-fixes about them.

The only thing to do is to learn to tag who’s irrational about which matters, and discount their jerkouts about those matters accordingly. I’m afraid that it’s unrealistic to expect standard-issue humans ever to be as totally, unwaveringly rational about absolutely everything as is Brent Spiner’s Star-Trek character ‘Lieutenant Data’. But then, he’s a robot. Far more logical creatures than hom-sap, who is a grossly irrational, emotion-governed creature, with a recently-evolved ability to do rationality, strictly as and when it suits us, tagged on as a late, optional-use extra… 🙂

PS: As a human myself, obviously I realise that I must have blind-spots and hot-buttons too. But it’s in the nature of these things that one never notices one’s own. It has to be others who point them out; and even then, often enough, we’ll deny them hotly.

I think also there is a strong association of an almost rabid intransigence with commitment to an idea – especially noticeable on the (dare I say it) “Right.” As if anything less than full-throated, full-bodied expression of one’s beliefs is somehow weak, effete and even a bit sissified.

And yet, I suspect genuine commitment can express itself quietly as well as forcefully. It’s not how strong the expression is, but how deeply the commitment goes.

Saying “I might be wrong” is often seen as a weakness – and it can be. But it can just as easily be a strength.

It is a slippery slop; removing down votes was the first thing the guardian did when their stooges were getting down voted all the time. You should let it stay, but perhaps make it possible to see who had made the down vote, as they used to do in the Telegraph.

I do this because I know that all the other frequent visitors to the brilliant off guardian will do the same and they will either up vote or down vote me so I can improve myself or, what I really yearn, be able sit in a place of utter contentment of all the delicious up votes.

I think up and down voting is very useful when you agree and don’t have anything more to add, or when you don’t think much of the post but don’t have the time/inclination to engage with the person who wrote it.

I also use upvoting to say I have read a reply.

The Tavistock Insitute was named by John Coleman in ‘The Committee of 300′ as the creators of The Beatles’ psy-op. Tavistock’s Eric Trist’s son just happened to manage The Grateful Dead.

Rock’n’Roll’s rebels haven’t had a good couple of weeks:
1) Noel Gallagher, after some anti-mask comments, got the vaccine.
2) Van Morrison, after appearing like he might be genuine, allows himself to be associated with Iain Paisley.
3) Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen and The Strokes announce a vaxxed-only concert.

Some of rock’s biggest professional big-mouths and radical posturers remain conspicuous in their silence on the Covid front. That’s those who aren’t actively collaborating with the official narrative.

Though no expert on Rock ‘n Roll, I tend to think the problem lies with the handlers more than with the creators. I doubt if “Stars” of any pop music genre are the brightest lights in the sky. It isn’t just that they want to hit it big – they have to hit it big or they’re history. And that’s where the handlers come in.

You’re right George… its all a Punch & Judy Show, or just plain old smoke and mirrors.

Just read John Steppling’s latest post… parts of it I strongly liked, especially about the seeming loss of the human spirit in recent decades, and he mentioned Debords Society of The Spectacle. However some paragraphs, my brain felt a bit like scrambled eggs and I was thinking what?

Steppling is good – and it’s always heartening to see an actual Marxist not taken in by the covid con. But as you note, he suffers from “Adornitist” i.e. he has fallen for that Frankfurt School gobbledygook. The moment he starts to drone about mimesis and reification I just skip. (I am tempted to consider him another casualty to the corruption of Marxism over the decades, influenced by the branch that just sat on its arse complaining about how the proletariat never delivered them the revolution.)

What to read? To be honest my go-toes are OffG, UK Column, the twitters of Steppling and Phil Greaves. And few other places. Would you believe I’m actually reading David Icke at the moment? His And the Truth Shall Set You Free has a detailed account of the backdrop to the JFK assassination with lots of stuff I didn’t know. Sure, Dave can be a bit … colourful but he communicates with a refreshing lack of pretention and has an attractive philosophy: instead of keeping items hidden implying you’re “not ready” for them, he just dumps the lot on you and encourages you to make up your own mind.

Helen’s website positively gives me a headache. Also, I’m put off by her covid 19 propaganda, which I can’t get away from even here but which I can reduce my exposure to but just limiting, numerically, how many anti-covid articles and sites I give attention to. Other than that, she’s sensible enough. There’s a very interesting discussion that she has with Spiro Skouras in which she reports on her experience with joining Johns Hopkins pathetic contact tracing company. She wanted to find it what it was all about, something I could never do, but anyway. It’s a must see.

As for Alison McDowell, I don’t know what she thinks of us, but it’s possible she doesn’t like us. (I do think she has something to contribute to our discussions about the Great Reset.) I saw her exchange a while back with someone here. It was unpleasant, and while that’s not everyone here, In our back and forth recently, in which she attacked me (on the same day OG – an admin – and Colin Todhunter attacked me), she referred to me and my colleagues. My colleagues? I don’t have a clue who she was referring to and the only thing I could think of was OG where most of my conversations online happen.

Hi Arby… You know and I know and quite a few others here know that the virus has never been isolated and purified, therefore the scamdemic is based on a massive lie and fraud.
We also know about the fraud of the PCR tests, and why they have the amplification cycles at 40 or 45.
However, I really get that a lot of our allies or potential allies don’t share the same opinion on this; they still, to an extent, believe the propaganda.
And some may even use the word pandemic, which really irks me, like the latest Anonymous post at Wrench In The Gears.
I think it was Tony who said to you the other day that “our enemies enemies have to be our friends” because we are in the fight of our lives. I strongly agree with that BECAUSE the situation is now so dire. They have already begun rolling out the vaccine passports or will be shortly. Manitoba was the latest to announce this. I can clearly see the technofascist horror unfolding. It’s right there on the horizon.
I actually thought the latest post at Wrench In The Gears was excellent (minus the word pandemic) and the overall information was very valuable. My adage is take what you want and leave the rest behind.
The Saker, on the other hand, fell for the covid narrative straight away, and I put him in the same boat as Moon of Alabama on this point. But more so, it was his blatant homophobia that prompted me to leave. He even stated “there will be no gay pride parade on my site” and equates homosexuality to a form of pathology as well as other comments.
Hope your week goes well.

Thanks Gezzah. I pretty much follow that rule (take what works and leave what doesn’t) but perhaps I am a little more determined than some to chastise those who I feel should know better. That’s one issue. The other one is, When I’m attacked the way Sophie, Colin and Alison attacked me, I don’t forgive. I believe in forgiveness, but not the way some do. I don’t pat overly nasty people on the back – forgive – for attacking me, especially when they are those who I’ve supported and thought were my friends or at least allies. Alison, I’ve had no experience with, but as a frequenter of OG, I’ve read Colin’s articles many times and always found them to be stellar and, I’m sure, have commented in such a way that my view in that regard was clear.

To be called a stalker for being curious about what he looked like (and not out of the blue but because I was wondering whether I might use his image on a poster, the way I did with Jon Rappoport), crosses the line. If I annoy OG staff – with mentioning the lie they embrace about the existence of Sars CoV 2 – and they want to express their annoyance with me, fine. But it takes a certain kind of person to express annoyance with the kind of smear I was hit with. It’s like a wife telling her husband that he could stand to lose a few pounds and so he goes out in the middle of the night and knifes her car tire. That’s something that someone who has no principles, or real grasp of boundaries, would do.

My weekend? It just ended. 😉 But thanks. Hang in there. And yes, The Saker is a piece of work. He doesn’t get, or care about, human rights at all.

I was just watching the end of this when you replied. Don’t know if you’ve looked at The Crowhouse before, but Max Igan is a fairly well known anti establishment activist here in Australia, and he just straight out says there is no virus, and he’s called out the PCR tests and police brutality and fraudulent death certificates and everything about the scamdemic. He doesn’t just focus on what’s happening in Australia, but around the world as well.

As a gay man, I tried to keep an open mind with The Saker and take an “each to their own approach” and realised that his religious faith was colouring his views on gay people, but the longer I stayed, the more angry I got. I even tried to reason with him personally a couple of times!
But the homophobic comments continued, and a number of commenters there were even worse, and of course their comments weren’t moderated. But the last straw for me was his full acceptance of the scamdemic narrative. He even claimed he knew people with covid.
That was when I gave him the flick.

Max is good but I don’t agree with about everything. He mentioned the doctors at Nuremberg. They were a few (23 if I recall), whereas, as others have noted, that whole medical establishment was corrupt. That was then! And Germany’s medical establishment was part of the global Rockefeller medical establishment.

Max also insists that there will be a Nuremberg II, except that, as C.J. Hopkins points out, the criminals are the majority. Who on earth can bring all of the hoaxsters and those who have went along with them to justice? You couldn’t do it. Armageddon is the justice that the world needs and will get. That’s my view.

Max tosses out some strange ideas. (And I usually, not always, quit videos when the presenter or presenters curse. I don’t like it. But I still go to Max now and then. I also hate it when people use expressions like “My God.” I respect and worship God so it’s hard for me to listen to those who don’t, although I do.) Demons in the form of kings/politicians? Demons exist but they don’t need to materialize, which they can’t do, in order to wreak havoc. We don’t know exactly how they influence those people who open themselves to such influence, but it can be and is being done.

I’d like to hear him say more about the non existent virus. I think that that would help our side. When he states that there’s no virus, we don’t whether he means that there could be but not in this instance or whether he means that the whole field of virology (with it’s ‘isolation’ process) is a scam.

I’m also put off by someone having all sorts of nonsense rules about the conversation after talking up free speech. I think one was about talking about religion.

The fact is you see, one does not choose to hold on to ideas because of the others who also may hold the same about a particular topic. Some of us do so because of the eternal values of humanity.
Regarding eugenics, some of us you see dont consider man to be an automata reducible to some genes, and that man can tamper with life (if he does given he knows nothing of the complexity of life, of human life, its to his peril), and certainly man cannot decide who is worth living and who is not. Also read my post below. Who are the ones who should have the right to live? I happen to agree with Kropotkin’s reply to Darwin, that it is the “thousands of weak-bodied and infirm poets, scientists, inventors, and reformers, together with other thousands of so-called ‘fools’ and ‘weak-minded enthusiasts’” that are “the most precious weapons used by humanity in its struggle for existence by
intellectual and moral arms”. I also agree with Wallace, that a propensity to “protect[] the weak and sick” might actually be an essential part of natural selection. So
if you get rid of the these fools and enthusiasts, in a world led byprofit and power mad junkies and any unthinking servant there of, how long would one give the human race?
How rapidly will it be that no one is left capable of repairing the machines which these junkies think life is reducible to?

So basically if you wish to discuss, tell us why you wish to defend eugenics. For Im sure your defense of eugenics is not because Hitler also did.

Dystopia? At least mentally, which is not little. I am surrounded by vaccinated people, I am not, but everyone thinks so. Why am I doing this? Well, as a human being I have to relate. At the moment the only thing I know is that I am not vaccinated. Now, the discourse changes completely. I explain. Until a month ago, nobody around me was vaccinated and my speech was “don’t get vaccinated.” But now they are, what do I tell them? I have no choice but to play along. So the days go by and I feel like an island in the ocean. An island that can withstand waves and hurricanes, but an island after all. An island that accepts castaways like me. It’s certainly the weirdest feeling I’ve ever had in my life. But the decision is made. Dystopia?

The same thing happens to you that you are vaccinated and you come here to give cryptosnob lessons.

Yes, Arcabuz, the injection is the point of no return in one’s relations with others. Suddenly it becomes impossible to be honest, because how on earth do you force onto people the knowledge or realisation that they have almost certainly made the worst decision of their life, and that there is no going back?

I work for the NHS in the UK. I too am surrounded by vaccinated people. Before the injections started I was fairly vocal about them (though I didn’t say anywhere near as much about their potential downsides as I could have). Once the injections began, there seemed little point. I rarely get the chance to speak about it now in any case. I am usually cut off point blank. On the very rare occasions I do speak, I don’t discuss the injections. How can you? Unless, perhaps, someone has children or grandchildren? I feel very sorry for my colleagues and very angry with them at the same time.

At work I could not lie about my injection status even if I wanted to. I have been asked by managers three times if I wanted to be injected, each time in front of other people. I have also been asked whether it is that I have really been injected, only elsewhere; and that conversation was also in front of a third person. (Whatever happened to the concept of confidentiality?) If I lied and said I had been, my employer would check.

More generally, the NHS has contacted me about it by letter and by phone (and suddenly, a few weeks ago, by mobile, although I removed my mobile number from my GP record in early December last).

My teenage daughter has been sent multiple texts “inviting” her to be jabbed, although in the UK I believe the injection is technically open to those 25 and over. I gather this tends to happen when parents have declined. It feels as though we are descending to a new level of darkness.

Hello all,

I’ve just completed a new article that I’d like to share here. It’s called, “What does freedom look like?”

Aside from an exploration of the titular question, I reference some very useful works and information I’ve come across over the years, including a series of institutions based on the east coast of the United States that provide a much more human example of what youth can look like, the publications of former schoolteacher John Taylor Gatto on the insanity of the mass-produced “education” system, and Sylvia Federici’s “Caliban and the Witch”, a fantastic and exhaustively sourced book that sheds a great deal of light on some of the genuine history of the medical period, relating ultimately to the subjugation of the European population to the state and capitalism.

Cheers!

Love your take on education indoctrination. If it wasn’t for the amount of fraud, hoaxes, blatant deception and useless information inculcated into children as a form of abuse, while obeying strangers who like to boss children around, we wouldn’t be where we are now. You could investigate the Freemason/ Masonic frauds of the past couple of thousand years if you want to understand our current situation of debt slavery and human bondage. Mass mind control starts with repetition, inflicting fear based trauma and conducting ritualistic societal abuse. This is a hidden science that has been handed down through the ages, while keeping the general population ignorant of the mechanisms of control.

Here’s another spot-on article by this author:

“The best expression of this call for a new age of fusion energy cooperation and diplomacy needed to reverse our international slide into nuclear war was showcased by President Putin during a July 2019 Global Industrialization Summit which I will quote at length as we consider what pathways are necessary to overcome the misanthropic closed system logic of those prophets of doom that sit upon the alter of the World Economic Forum and lust over a dystopic technocratic age of depopulation and entropy.

“We will only succeed in fusion power and other fundamental tasks if we establish broad international cooperation and interaction between government and business, and unite the efforts of researchers representing different scientific schools and areas—if technological development becomes truly global, and does not get split up, or held back by attempts to monopolize progress, limit access to education, and put up new obstacles to the free exchange of knowledge and ideas.”

“It happened before” is one weapon in their arsenal. However the 1918 flu pandemic doesn’t stand up once you look into it.

Vastly different death tolls are given which hardly suggests rigorous accounting. The “pandemic” hit a demographic unlike any other flu (20-40 rather than the elderly) and had symptoms unlike any other flu (“a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth” according to one account).

The fittest of the fit should have been in the armed forces. The fittest of the armed forces should have been the USA given the country’s wealth and late entry into the war. Yet the US armed forces had the highest morbidity rate of any country with 26% of the US Army (over 1m men) falling ill. However US soldiers did receive multiple vaccinations including rabies, typhoid, diphtheria and smallpox.

Patients were treated with aspirin or vaccination. A 2009 article states that recommended aspirin regimen in 1918 “predispose[d] to severe pulmonary toxicity”. A different article from the same year states that the vaccine results were “inconsistent and sometimes contradictory”.

Vaccines assumed the 1918 flu was caused by a particular bacterium. However there were great increases in many other diseases at the same time. Some like typhoid had been vaccinated against and would be inconvenient so it’s likely typhoid cases were passed off as flu.

Are there more plausible causes of the pandemic than a bacterium? Of course! Atrocious living conditions, acute stress, malnutrition, toxic vaccination and medication, exposure to multiple other toxins (poison gas, explosives, even welding produces zinc oxide fumes which provokes “an influenza-like syndrome” according to Dr Miller) – the combination of these factors is a more plausible explanation that some alleged bacterium that couldn’t even cause the disease symptoms when put in the eyes, noses and open wounds of trial volunteers.

The continuing importance of the 1918 pandemic was shown in 2006 when the CDC called it “the mother of all pandemics” and claimed “almost all cases of influenze A worldwide… have been caused by descendants of the 1918 virus”. How can a non-living particle have descendants?

Eventually the app will demand a commitment to fight socialism because this is the only battle the Empire is really interested in.

The WHO is based on previous organizations.

1st step:
The Pasteur-Koch ideology paved the way towards private-public partnerships. 19th century Europe saw some major outbreaks of diseases like cholera. Unfounded on proper evidence, and despite evidence to the contrary, especially as these had become endemic since the early modern period, that they were mainly due to “excessive dirt as a result of catastrophic living conditions”, they were alleged to be contagious microbial diseases imported from colonies – an ungrounded thesis advanced to this day, obscuring the importance of “the biological terrain” for microbes to “thrive”. The fear of epidemics imported from colonies led to “the development of international health as a systematic area of regulation and action”, and to the rise of an “[i]nternational [h]ealth [e]stablishment”.The lead was taken by France, which initiated International sanitary conferences in 1851, while the epidemic thesis was diffused by newspapers and journals. (To uniquely focus blame on US and in particular Rockefeller would be wrong, without the role of France for example, he might well have been nowhere)

2nd step: Following the Flexner report the Rockefeller and Carnegie had commissioned, and Paul Ehrlich’s work into “magic bullets” funded by the Institute of Medical Research founded by Rockefeller,
in May 1913, the latter’s foundation was established, and in June of that year, its International Health Commission. At the end of the war, the League of Nation’s Health Organization (LHNO) was founded, of which his foundation became a major funder in 1922.

3rd step:
The LNHO was succeeded by the World Health Organization in 1946 (thats what I read in abook about its history.) From the outset it was “profoundly shaped” by private interests, with the Rockefeller Foundation “playing a crucial part behind the scenes”.

The above quotes on the human race by Huxley having many shortcomings follows from one by Darwin in the Descent of Man, where it is stated that we “must . . . bear the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind” by helping them to do so, but
[n]o one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man . . . excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.”

But it is equally important to emphasize that the world is not a monolith, and has never been one. Reaction to Darwin’s thesis were especially widespread among Russian scientists, who
realised the positive points of his work, while denouncing the nonsense, and highlighting the wrong points through their own experiments.
To the above, this is zoologist Kropotkin’s reply in his book on “Mutual Aid” (I would urge readers of OffG to read it, its short, its beautiful), that it is the “thousands of weak-bodied
and infirm poets, scientists, inventors, and reformers, together with other
thousands of so-called ‘fools’ and ‘weak-minded enthusiasts’” that are “the
most precious weapons used by humanity in its struggle for existence by
intellectual and moral arms”. In fact in the UK, Wallace, who has been sidelined, had contended that a propensity to “protect[] the weak and sick” might actually
be an essential part of natural selection.

Basically, the entire eugenics, etc., boils down to the utter reductionism denounced by Tolstoy in Russia, by Carpenter in England, immediately (Tolstoy’s last words on his deathbed were warnings about the dire consequences of Darwin’s views, that we must not go down that path). It reduces man to the smallest component part and believes man is like the machines man creates. It believes man or some men have become gods.
The machine like idea of the human body was introduced into science by Descartes, but it began to grow in the Renaissance. It rests on the dualism of Church Christianity (Tolstoy’s expression for dogmatic Christianity, in contrast to Christianity based on the teachings attributed to Jesus: for those who are interested in Christianity, he rewrote the Gospels, its many volumes, but he also wrote a short version), a dualism where a purely material nature,
including animals and the human body, is strictly separate from an immaterial spirit, and from the idea of an omnipotent God, external to both nature and man, strictly controlling the workings of nature. Thus, once belief in miracles was shattered, within a causal framework, the conception of material nature became mechanistic, and in more modern times, as Church Christianity’s vision of God was shattered. Tolstoy has remarked: “materialism lies in wait
for people once they are freed from dogmatic Christianity”. In his case, he refused both dogmatic Christianity and materialism. Its mainly physicists, especially quantum physicists, who have not gone down that path, precisely because quantum physics raises doubts and questions about life and the universe. In fact both Heisenberg and Bohr used to go the former to India, the latter to China, to discuss with thinkers there.

In fact, in the 1970s, Heisenberg remarked: “most biologists today still use the language and the way of thinking of classical mechanics; that is, they describe their molecules as if the parts of the molecules were just stones or something like that. They have not taken notice of the changes which have occurred in quantum theory”. That is the basic issue we are faced with. It seems still acute in biology, though there have been well-known biologists with other perspectives throughout. It is this utter reductionist perspective which has gone hand in hand with the profit-maximization perspective.

But to think that all of science, even modern science (for its certainly incorrect of former science schools in Asia), subscribes to it is utterly wrong. Even Newton was aware of the shortcomings of his theory, and did wonder whether the whole of nature was alive. He expressed doubts about the meaningfulness of science: “I seem to have been diverting myself . . .,
whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Also Descartes, one shouldnt blame: he warned that there was a gap between reality and our quantified description of it.
As for Galileo, he warned about generalizations: For “there are more ways known to us that could produce the same effect, and perhaps others that we know not of”.

It is us who have preferred to forget Galileo’s warning about generalizations, and instead have taken over his belief that the universe is written in mathematical language, forgotten Descartes’ warning it was not, and instead taken his mechanistic views, same with
Newton, we’ve left aside his questioning, and instead taken the mechanism of Principia.

The link for the Dawkins-supporting-eugenics story leads to what seems to be a christian blog. The link to the article within that blog post, which is supposedly the report at the website where Dawkins said that, is dead. There is mention of the alleged claim by Dawkins in the blog post, being published in a scottish newspaper (go aberdeen! ) but there is no link to that newspaper. Why not link the article to the newspaper, but link to a christian blog? Last but not least, the theory of evolution (which in the blog post is referred to as “darwinism”) is not the same as SOCIAL DARWINISM, the ideological tenet of Hitler’s propaganda and the eugenicists who preceeded him.

“new ethic of “conservationism” had begun to move from the fringes into the mainstream replacing the former pro-industrial ethic of the producer-creator society that had historically governed the best of western civilization.” Since when? How is the author missing the dominance of capital over peasants-turned-workers and their struggles to hold on to their time and bodies? This article is sliding into an antihistorical perspective, where everything is planned out generations before. Granted, he doesn’t go centuries back, but he implies that everything is culminating to this day and situation. I’m not denying that the u.s. inherited the nazi mechanism and worldview, but they had setbacks as well, like the vietnam war and the eventual loss of financial ground to china, to name some. The liberation of trade, set forth by the Allies during and after the 2nd world war (the actual foundation of neoliberalism) is what brought China’s ascendance. Even if corporations and rightwingers claim that it was the many workers rights and power of trade unions that led to multinationals transferring their manufacturing base in China, it is not true. Firstly, because this transfer didn’t happen overnight, but went on progressively, during Reagan’s administration as well, when workers COLLECTIVE power was diminishing. Which proves a) that it would go on either way and b) that china is not a “communist state”. Secondly, because a massive drop in wages is a way to reduce costs (and thherefore increase profit margins) and would have happened (HAS BEEN happening) anyway.

Matthew Ehret has linked to a 2006 blogpost: “Dawkins: Nazi Eugenics ‘May Not Be Bad’?
By Rick Pearcey.” Fortunately, an anonymous commenter pulled Pearcey up on his error:

“According to Richard Dawkins’ blog … Dawkins never sent a letter to the Sunday Herald. What is quoted is actually an extract from a book, where the subject being discussed is moral problems. The title ‘eugenics may not be bad’ is chosen by a mischievous editor, not by Dawkins.

“If you read the extract in question … Dawkins says:

‘Or why it is acceptable to train fast runners and high jumpers but not to breed them. I can think of some answers, and they are good ones, which would probably end up persuading me.’ (emphasis mine)

“i.e. He can think of arguments that would persuade him that a human breeding programme is a bad idea.”

Deleuze and Guattari critiqued institutionalised ‘psy’ disciplines in the two volumes comprising “Capitalism and Schizophrenia.” Particularly in “Anti Oedipus”; critiquing the then standard Freud/Lacanian Oedipal (“Daddy, Mommy, Me”) triad. Never mind the ‘difficult’ prose (poemics or “ergodic” literary style.) The principles are very simple.

As stated above: the aim of the institutional ‘psyops’ is to return the mentally unstable (the potentially well) back to working conditioned [sic] as perfected operatives of capitalism. Reconditioned as “notoriously unhappy people” [Fromm.] Using mainly drugs or the interminable “talking cure.” Which actually promoted schizophrenia and reciprocally funded “schizanalysis.”

An important principle to bear in mind is that nothing is wholly bad or wholly good – as in simplistic closed system moral binaries (good/evil; black/white; male/female; self/other; etc.) – and that correctly understood, bi-polarity and schizophrenia could be liberating. Thus it could be said to be a modern “pharmakon;” the poison that is also, in modified doses, the cure. Suspend judgement on that for a moment.

How the unthinkable becomes thinkable? I’ve introduced the canonical, Platonistic “Image of Thought” recently – of “Idea – Copy – Simulacra” – which is the rational-causal way of thinking, current even now. What I want to say is that it might be presumed that rational-causal analytical thinking goes from cause to effect, and from antecedent principles to succedent consequents. That is, it is anticipatory and has predictive power. It does not. It goes the other way: from effects to causes, and consequents to antecedents. Relying on an absolutely uniform past. Seeking the “Principles of Sufficient Reason” (PSR – “everything happens for a reason”); “nomothetic” necessary and universalised valid axioms and laws; metaphysical First Causes and First Principles (aitia and archai.)

The aetiology of rational-causal analytics is in reverse: back toward essential First Philosophy. These are the Image of Thought: from the things as appearances or phantasmata to the cause; as primary substance (which Aristotle actually named secondary, but he got demoted to an introductory role to Platonics.) So, primary substance, the Idea, the One, the Good, or the Prime Mover Unmoved as First Cause. Park that.

Consider the modern ‘oedipal’ mythic order, as exemplified by Jordan Peterson in his Maps of Meaning. There is Order (negentropy), the Known, The Father: Chaos, Disorder (entropy), the Mother; and the mediating “Ideal” or “Divine Individuum” ….the apollonian Logos, the Sun, and the Son. In this case: the Natural (rational) Scientist or the Natural (rational) Psychologist ….in service of the current objective moral order of capitalism.

The principles are the same formally or informally: there is the novel, the new, the uncreated, the unconditioned, the differential, the mythic and pluralistic nurturant Mother. As experienced by the ideal individuum – the Son – as rationalised, moralised, and intellectualised back toward the “body of the Known” (Knowledge, Science, even Mythology and Theology.)

It is a closed moral binary system that allows now new differential experience: which proceeds by the reification, recuperation, and rational-causal reproduction of representation. Representation: no one can know that which is not already codified and categorised as ‘Known’. Cognition is mostly ‘re-cognition’; presentation mostly ‘re-presentation.’ Quite literally: controlled memory of ‘scientific’ orders of hierarchical Knowledge silently dominate cognition. Except for the mad, the shizophrenic, the Divine Madman with insight and unconditioned, uncontrolled, dissociative orders and connections (grammar and logic) ….whose vision is purely hallucination, surreal or L’Art Brut.

Actually going mad is not to be recommended. But the principles of breaking up the monolithic, monotheistic ‘psyche’ order are. Hence the poemics and ergodic or difficult prose. The rational-causal order is in the writing too.

Anyway: consider this a primer, because I know where the series is leading. The point is: the Western Intellectual Tradition took no wrong turns. Its First Principles were always going to be its Final Principles of Absolute Knowledge and Totalised Truth. A Scientific order or technocracy of the natural, rational-causal scientific method (modern mathematical rationalisation principles.) Realised retrocognitively, by returning everything novel, creative, and differential (pure difference, difference in itself) back toward the aetiology and concatenations of its First Principle of Knowledge. Which are the invisible causal chains everyone is shackled with. And that is not a metaphor: the shackles of slavery to the Western Order are real. Especially in the modern plantations and coloniality of power of the Western Project.

Thinking beyond rational-causal analytics, and the subsequent mathematical rationalisation as an aeternal calculus of market value-creation, requires rethinking thinking ….beyond the coloniality of the Known. Beyond the simplistic closed circuit and vicious circularity of moral binary deduction (the Nomological Deductive Model, the Hypothetico-Deductive Model, anylysand and analysandum undergoing permanent psychological repetition and reification.)

The Western Philosophical Psychology or Rational-causal Psychology was corrupted from the start as an adjunct of Staatsphilosophie. The Ideal Individuum is the Ideal State-form. I call it the “cognation state-form.” Psychology only branched from Philosophy around the time of post-Darwinian eugenicism (Spencer, Galton, et al.)

It does not pay to be fully mad to think freely, but it helps to embrace ‘divine madness’ of the poet, the artist, the musician, the ergodic writers (Joyce, Burroughs, even Deleuze and Guattari.) Mad, maybe ….but not without “emotional and passionel reason.”

Bob Dylan was, and perhaps still is, known to start with “la-la”s and nonsense words until his meanders down the stream of consciousness coalesce into something more substantial. Of course, YMMV.

I can’t resist my favorite example: leaving aside the complication that there are differing recorded versions, the original “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”‘s first verse is:

Clouds so swift / Rain won’t lift
Gate won’t close / Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain’t goin’ nowhere…

The improvised first attempt, recorded on a “Basement Tape”, is:

Look here, dear soup / You’d best feed the cats
The cats need feeding / And you’re the one to do it
Get your hat / Feed the cat / You ain’t goin’ nowhere.

In some ways, I did my best reading when I was young. I remember going to the library in Oshawa and truly enjoying browsing. Some of the most amazing books that I read were science fiction and science fiction masquerading as science (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin). Back then I wasn’t as burdened with life and just enjoyed reading and I read a lot. Ironically, my processing power is much better now but the pleasure of reading is largely (not completely) gone as the oppressiveness of the covid 19 pandemic hoax, and the need to keep working, for peanuts, past my retirement age, overwhelms me.

The young mind is good for mathematics, the sciences and so on. Not so good in understanding history, the power structure, the nature of truth and deceit. I was unimpressed by Orwell’s 1984 as a young student. I think it is history’s greatest novel now. I have just ordered a book called the Wolf of the Kremlin, about the late Lazar Kaganovich. This gentleman died peacefully in the nineties in Moscow at age 97. He is probably one of history’s great criminals and was probably the power behind Stalin’s throne. While German prison guards are hunted down this fellow was allowed to live a long and peaceful old age even as the USSR collapsed.

“It does not pay to be fully mad, but it helps to embrace ‘divine madness’ of the poet, … ergodic writers (Joyce…”

That is the only sentence I understand (at least partially). And Plato’s banishment of poets from his Republic is one of the very few points on which I think he took a wrong turn. Charles Darwin, a great lover of poetry in his youth and one of the great masters of English prose, was much less extreme than Plato: Darwin merely complained that he lost a valuable mental faculty and a wonderful source of pleasure when he took up science, began to collect facts, assembled them into a theory and grew old.

There’s a book in the offing: unfortunately, events have rather taken over. I’m sure it will chime with everyone, but there is a lot going on privately. I hardly get a half our to myself. I shall be commenting on the last part of this series though, you might be able to see where I am going already though.

Ideas that should have long since faded into the dustbin of history but “come back” represent a frequent phenomenon. Take racism. I know it is easy to get stalled on those rose-tinted spectacles. But nevertheless, I honestly think that there was greater racial tolerance back in the “politically incorrect” 70s than now. Racism sneaked in through what seems to me to be the deliberate cultivation of that pedantic political correctness which forbids races to help each other since they must all be self-asserting and we mustn’t have any of that “white saviour narrative” (an expression which is just shorthand for saying that the races could join together to fight oppression, without which we would still have slavery today). So now we are paranoid about keeping the races apart in order not to insult them – racism through the back door so to speak.

Racism is just another tool of American empire, based on fear of others to suppress revolt and confuse/distract the poor.

American empire’s biggest war is on an idea, that idea is socialism, which fundamentally threatens the ideology of empire and its free-market extremism.

America falsely attributes poverty, and thereby the failure of the system, by substituting any debate on poverty, which might point us in the direction of socialism, for an endless debate on race, more specifically a debate on blacks.

Blacks, as they were in the days of slavery, are still essential for maintaining the wealth and power of the American elites by allowing people, despite their real life experience, to believe that mass poverty is a problem of blacks, not a characteristic of their system.

“American empire’s biggest war is on an idea, that idea is socialism, which fundamentally threatens the ideology of empire and its free-market extremism.” Inherent in ’empire’ is aggression, not having as its end goal the betterment of the aggressor’s home country, but only the betterment of the aggressor’s rich and powerful members. Meanwhile, What is free-market extremism? It’s neoliberalism (in which capitalists and capital, only, are completely liberated). It’s socialism for the rich aka State capitalism. Could capitalism work? (What they call capitalism isn’t capitalism. The only pure capitalism happening is at farmer’s markets.) We have to define ‘work’. I use an illustration to explain how I view things. Firstly, You can’t get perfect systems from imperfect human beings. But you don’t need to – if there’s love. All solutions flow from caring. Take capitalism. It can be neoliberal (with unequal social relations and austerity for the majority and prosperity for a minority) or it can be something resembling the US post World War II, when there was, very briefly, peace between the working class and the bosses.

A capitalism (which can’t be perfect) that is like a rickety house (roof leaks, paint is peeling off the walls, basement floods when it rains) is manageable – if everyone in that house has love. If they all have each others’ backs, it will work. No one will suffer. A capitalism that is like a magnificent mansion that is structurally intact and well maintained, but where there’s a few people who live like royalty and everyone else there is a servant of the few owners, does not work – if by work you mean ‘work for everyone’.

You can make a better toaster, or weapon but you can’t politically innovate – if you’re not from the crowd that already has power. (That’s what counterrevolution is meant to tamp down.) That’s because those who already own, rule and ruin the world simply don’t want to see their comfy existence threatened. Why do they think like that? They are ruined. They are self-modified and no longer human. A human being doesn’t normally feel threatened because a neighbor figured out how to plant a certain crop more successfully. The normal human being would celebrate his farmer neighbor’s success and learn from it. He doesn’t see his neighbor’s success as threatening.

Getting out of the realm of labels; My view is that whether it’s capitalism or socialism, If it’s for ‘everyone’ rather than a parasitic minority, then it’s okay – for now.
