Eugenics, The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Clash of Two Systems
Matthew Ehret
Matt Ehret explains what caused the rise of the perversion of science known as “eugenics” as a new scientific religion in the 19th century. Part Two of a three-part series, you can read Part One here.
Today’s world is gripped between two possible futures: on the one hand, a multipolar alliance in defense of sovereign nation states has organized itself around a paradigm of long-term thinking, scientific optimism and win-win cooperation, while a unipolar paradigm of world government, depopulation and zero-sum thinking pushes a program of Great Resets, controlled pandemics and war.
Gaining insight into these two opposing paradigms is more important now than ever before, and one important place to start is the disturbing mind of Great Reset Architects who are today pushing society into a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” where it is believed that automation, and Artificial Intelligence will render most of humanity obsolete.
As the World Economic Forum’s star philosopher Yuval Harari has repeatedly described this outlook:
Technology may disrupt human society and the very meaning of human life in numerous ways ranging from the creation of a global useless class to the rise of data colonialism and digital dictatorships”.
In the first article in this series, I reviewed the re-organization of the eugenics movement after WW2 as it followed Sir Julian Huxley’s demand that “the unthinkable be made, once again thinkable”.
In this second segment, we will leap back a little further in time to better understand what caused the rise of the perversion of science known as “eugenics” as a new scientific religion in the 19th century, before continuing with part three (From Russell to Wiener: The Rise of Cybernetics and Transhumanism).
The Closed System Assumptions of Social Darwinism
There are a few fundamental things that should be understood about the science of eugenics, otherwise known as “the science of cleansing the human gene pool of undesirable pollution” which emerged at the end of the 19th century.
This “science” grew out of the application of Darwin’s theories of natural selection and “survival of the fittest” to human society’s weeding out of the unfit and was premised on certain fundamental assumptions, not the least of which included:
- that humanity is a system entirely shaped by material forces of environmental constraints and genetics,
- that this system was fundamentally closed and hence entropic (subject to immutable laws of diminishing returns guided by an inevitable heat death),
- that the creative force of genetic mutations guiding the appearance of new biological mechanisms was fundamentally random
- that this randomness could only be overcome by the rise of a new era of social engineers managing humanity on all levels-economic, psychological, cultural and even genetic.
Imagining the future age when the science of eugenics would replace world religions, the school’s founder Sir Francis Galton (cousin to Charles Darwin) mused in 1905:
It is easy to let the imagination run wild on the supposition of a whole-hearted acceptance of eugenics as a national religion”.
The Late 19th Century: A Clash of Two Systems
The paradigm-shifting breakthroughs made in science and statecraft by the end of the 19th century resulted in a new petro-chemical/electronic age. New discoveries in atomic physics made by Beckerel, Roentgen, Curie, Rutherford, Planck and Einstein were additionally changing humanity’s idea of space, time, energy and matter.
The practical application of these discoveries in the form of scientific and technological progress at the service of humanity was quickly destroying the foundations of Thomas Malthus’s supposed “laws of population” which assumed that human invention could never outpace nature’s limits always requiring a “scientific priesthood” to control population growth from above the control of nations.
Despite the fact that a genuine hope for a new age of discovery and progress was becoming realized, something darker was at play.
It was at this time that leading forces representing the British Empire were busy trying to resolve an existential challenge: National Sovereignty had proven itself much stronger than anticipated by the financier oligarchy centered in London and something new was emerging that could possibly undermine systems of Hobbesian “zero-sum” geopolitics forever.
The preservation of the union largely thanks to a strategic Russia-US alliance resulted in a major defeat for British forces both in the City of London as well as Wall Street, the slaveocracy of the South and British Canada.
A new global system was quickly emerging as Lincoln-admiring statesmen quickly adopted the “American System of Political Economy” to liberate their nations from the manipulation of the Empire. Where the American System was a fundamentally open system – premised as it was upon unbounded technological progress and the subservience of money to national sovereignty – the British system was fundamentally closed, premised on the worship and control of money by private financiers, debt slavery and speculation. Where one focused on production, the other only parasitically looted.
Henry C Carey (leading economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln) had made this dichotomy explicit as he foresaw the global nature of the oncoming U.S. Civil War elaborated in his 1852 Harmony of Interests:
Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labor of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the laborer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.”
In 1872, Carey was busy directing an international array of economists around the globe who were assisting dozens of governments in the implementation of this system when he wrote an anti-Malthusian economic treatise called Unity of Law. It was here that the great economist fully laid out his comprehensive theory of economic science as a non-zero sum system of cooperation and creative growth among great cultures:
The great nations of the earth should each and all profit by development of the powers, mental, and physical, of each and every other; each and all growing in power for self-direction as each and every other more and more obtains power for controlling and directing the great natural forces; the harmony of all international interests being as perfect and complete as we know to be that of the individuals of which nations are composed.”
By 1890, Carey’s optimistic vision of a new epoch for civilization was beautifully expressed by Colorado’s first Governor, and Lincoln’s former bodyguard William Gilpin whose 1890 Cosmopolitan Railway featured in-depth studies of rail projects uniting all parts of the world together under a new culture of scientific and technological progress for all. Gilpin was explicit that this system would be funded by national banks generating long term productive credit, protectionism and universal education for the good of each and all.
Gilpin wrote of this future post-colonial world:
The weapons of mutual slaughter are hurled away; the sanguinary passions find a check, a majority of the human family is found to accept the essential teachings of Christianity IN PRACTICE… Room is discovered for industrial virtue and industrial power. The civilized masses of the world meet; they are mutually enlightened, and fraternize to reconstitute human relations in harmony with nature and with God. The world ceases to be a military camp, incubated only by the military principles of arbitrary force and abject submission. A new and grand order in human affairs inaugurates itself out of these immense concurrent discoveries and events”
The Empire Strikes Back
Empires never disappear without a fight, and the British Empire was no exception. Before the British-orchestrated Civil War in the USA was finished, a new imperial grand strategy was reformulated in the ideological nerve center of Cambridge and the Royal Society.
Out of these networks came a new breed of imperial management under the form of Huxley’s X Club (c.1865) led by a young talented misanthrope named Thomas Huxley (aka: ‘Darwin’s Bull Dog”) who was tasked with formulating a new grand strategy for the preservation of the empire.
Knowing that the most important level of warfare is found in the scientific conceptions held by society (since our standard for political self-regulation is ultimately founded upon and informed by standards and laws found in nature), Huxley’s X Club aimed at uniting all major branches of physics, biology, economics and sociology under a singular coherent interpretation based on gradualist, descriptive, reductionist science.
This would be a new unified, internally consistent science that would iron out the evidence of all creative leaps which shape all of living and non-living nature. This group realized that if nature could be modelled as a closed, decaying and random process then it would also be devoid of any actual notion of principle, justice, or morality. This would be a conception of nature which empires could forever justify the exploitation of their victims.
Although Malthus’s theories (and their economic corollaries in the works of Mill, Smith and Ricardo) had formerly done the job of “scientifically justifying” the empire, something more sophisticated was needed as the world was quickly seeing through the fraud as Carey demonstrated in his widely read “Unity of Law” (1872):
Mr. Malthus was led to invent a law of population by means of which to relieve the rich and powerful from all responsibility for the existing state of things; giving them assurance that the poverty and wretchedness by which they were everywhere surrounded had resulted from the fact that the Creator had sent upon the earth large numbers of people for whom He had provided no table at which they might be allowed to eat, no materials by aid of which they might be clothed; thus furnishing the theory by aid of which subsequent writers have been enabled, as they supposed, to prove that, in the British Islands, man had become ‘a drug’ and ‘population a nuisance’.”
To put the new imperial grand strategy into motion, two new think tanks were soon brought online.
The first of the two was called the Fabian Society created in 1884 by a nest of eugenics-loving intellectuals led by Sidney and Beatrice Webb alongside “slaughter useless eaters” George Bernard Shaw.
Soon the group attracted leading imperial luminaries to its fold including Thomas Huxley’s student H.G. Wells, Lord Halford Mackinder, John Maynard Keynes and Lord Bertrand Russell. The group soon established a school from which to indoctrinate talented young members of the global elite named the London School of Economics.
In 1902, a second think tank called the Round Table Group was established in Oxford under the control of “race patriots” George Parkin and Lord Alfred Milner. Soon branches of “Roundtables” across all Anglo-Saxon Commonwealth were created as outlined by Professor Carrol Quigley’s post-humously published Anglo-American Establishment.
The funding for this group was paid for by the fortunes of racist diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes and its mandate was illustrated in Rhodes’ 1877 will:
Let us form the same kind of society, a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society which should have its members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his Country. He should then be supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he was needed.”
The Rhodes Trust set up shop in Oxford where young talent from across the commonwealth were soon brainwashed under Rhodes Scholarships becoming a new generation of imperial high priests guided by Rhodes’ edict that a new Church of the British Empire be established. These think tanks would coordinate British policy with a two-fold aim: 1) the destruction of all creative open system thought in political economy and science 2) the subjugation of the race to a new global feudal order managed by a master class.
In his manifesto entitled Imperial Federation (1892), the man who would become the co-founder and director of the Rhodes Trust (George Parkin), wrote of the inevitable collapse of the empire, unless the “disintegrating forces” of sovereign nation states could be destroyed:
Has our capacity for political organization reached its utmost limit? For the British people this is the question of questions. In the whole range of possible political variations in the future there is no issue of such far-reaching significance, not merely for our own people but for the world at large, as the question whether the British Empire shall remain a political unit… or yielding to disintegrating forces, shall allow the stream of the national life to be parted into many separate channels.”
These new think tanks wasted no time in putting a new grand strategy into action.
One of the primary forces who would guide the application of the anti-creative science of empire was Fabian Society leader and Cambridge Apostle, Lord Bertrand Russell and his cohort David Hilbert who launched a new project in 1900 that would attempt to shackle the entire universe into a very small mathematical box devoid of all creative vitality.
This box would soon take on the name “cybernetics” and “information systems theory” by disciples of Russell and Hilbert. This system would later serve as the foundation for the growth of Transhumanism, Artificial Intelligence and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Empire is founded not on ideas but on power. What ideas augment its power empire promotes. When conditions change other ideas become favoured, according to their utility in the pursuit of perpetual power.
Very interesting. By the way I recommend Lutz Dammbeck documentaries they talk about cybernetics and technology as control.
One is Das Netz, talks about the infamous Unabomber (Ted Kaczynski) but not directly like netflix or any other mainstream media it talks more about who he was against, LSD, technology as a tool of control and of course cybernetics. Other doc also made by Lutz is Overgames this one is even more complex I recommend watching this last as a sequel.
You can easily find them on youtube.
“Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors…in order that the creations of our minds shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind.”
– Albert Einstein –
(California Institute of Technology, February 16, 1931)
I guess no one was listening…
Einstein and Szilard wrote the letter to Roosevelt recommending the development of the atom bomb. He was a Zionist and a crony of the bootlegging Bronfman family. I do not accept his canonisation.
An illuminating historical interpretation and enjoyable read . Looking forward to the third installment as Mr Ehret appears to painting himself into a corner in pointing out that Eugenics is accepted without questions as a useful tool in politics by both so called right and left intellectual apologists in the employ of global elites and has been since the dawn of the industrial revolution , when the religion that materialism has become took form.
I’m not sure that this article is entirely fair. In fact I don’t really agree with it. Bernard Shaw for example, is not known for misanthropy. The writer only succeeds in turning off those who do not view Shaw in that way.
I daresay some of the mouldering corpses highlighted were unsavory human beings, but they were products of their time. We have our own demons.
And I don’t think it is productive to view figures from the past from our own puffed-up high moral ground.
GB was not known for misanthropy … But surely, you jest https://rb.gy/hv8ujg ““I appeal to the chemists to discover a humane gas that will kill instantly and painlessly. Deadly by all means, but humane, not cruel.” Shaw, on Feb 7, 1934 He also said that “beautiful classical music should be played” while the “useless eaters” are gassed.
Bernard Shaw was famous for misanthropy. Though personally kind he preferred Superman. Two contemporaries who twigged him:
“An excellent man: he has no enemies, and none of his friends like him.“ — Oscar Wilde. Quoted by George Bernard Shaw in a letter to Ellen Terry
“A nurse who minds a baby, on finding that the baby continually rejects a medicine, would call for a new medicine. Shaw keeps the medicine and calls for a new baby”. — GK Chesterton
When Shaw fell ill he did not offer himself for “Cessation Day”; instead he abandoned his vegetarian principles by swallowing a meat extract.
Cessation Day and Eugenics were part of the Zeitgeist. The tone of the age was beautifully caught by Max Beerbohm in “A Christmas Garland”: Cessation Day, that day of days, when Smith’s healthy progeny clad in simple antiseptic garments would lead old Smith to the Municipal Cessation Chamber.
Here is Max’s original, an exquisite parody of HG. Wells and the starry eyed Eugenics movement in general:
“On General Cessation Day, therefore, the gates of the lethal chambers will stand open for all those who shall in the course of the past year have reached the age-limit. You figure the wide streets filled all day long with little solemn processions—solemn and yet not in the least unhappy…. You figure the old man walking with a firm step in the midst of his progeny, looking around him with a clear eye at this dear world which is about to lose him. He will not be thinking of himself. He will not be wishing the way to the lethal chamber was longer. He will be filled with joy at the thought that he is about to die for the good of the race—to ‘make way’ for the beautiful young breed of men and women who, in simple, artistic, antiseptic garments, are disporting themselves so gladly on this day of days. They pause to salute him as he passes. And presently he sees, radiant in the sunlight, the pleasant white-tiled dome of the lethal chamber. You figure him at the gate, shaking hands all round, and speaking perhaps a few well-chosen words about the Future….”

You have obviously have no idea of fabian socialist history
GBS was a monster.
A great summary introducing parts of the puzzle I was unfamiliar with, Carey being one. I suspect it won’t go down well with the socialist diehards though. I share the stated ideals of socialism but it’s one of those closed systems, which isn’t surprising, coming from the eugenicist Fabian society. No wonder the left love all this lockdown jive, they love the security of nanny state. Always stick by nurse, for fear of finding something worse! It’s no wonder the Empire closed down America’s idealism finally with the Federal Reserve, chained it with debt and has used it as it’s attack dog to cow the world ever since. It was good to see the rogues gallery photos together, I must say Keynes looked particularly vicious.
“Capitalism is the extraordinary belief
that the nastiest of men
for the nastiest of motives
will somehow work for the benefit of all.”
– John Maynard Keynes –
(June 5, 1883 – April 12, 1946)
Oh yes, that big pot of water we’re all in seems to be getting quite a bit “WARMER” doesn’t it ????? Someone better check the fire…..
Every time I get ill it erases my memory of past events, often dramatically. However it seems I don’t really forget anything so much as lose the ability to recall it. Huh?
I do recall that I came up with a counter to our impending demise demise due to AI. It of course has to have a catchy name. “The Human Hivemind” ™. We are coming for you Musk. You are a criminal.
It would bring democracy, peace and freedom in that Order, being an ideology and all that implies.
However the bigger problem is corruption. Gaming the system? It’s another thing we do relentlessly. How the heck to you make a system corruption proof? It can be done. It would require circular authority. In such a system any given supreme court would be appointed by the people for example.
When I consulted the Professor of Peace I encounter a very err… optimistic view of human nature. Most people in the peace movement think we would all get along were it not for all those nasty elites in power. Hmmmm.
I asked The Psyco-Sociologist. The behaviorists and OCEAN types. They claimed we could mold a person into anything if we started early enough. Hmmmm.
I asked The Priest. S/he said that was true, but things were as they should be, we live within a greater construct. When not talking over my head we largely agree, but that doesn’t qualify as a solution, although I would argue that “not making a choice” is a choice, an ideology and a faith.
I asked The Manager. He said “I don’t give a shit about any of that.” I am quoting here. He said just do the work, be happy, stop agonizing over all of this. Or don’t do it. Please yourself.
It took two years to develop the concept, and another to verify that could be done. And then I went back to them.
I said, “Yes I can build it, but the moment it gets any kind of adoption it will become illegal everywhere.” This was true of a few things I designed. They was simply no way you could pull this off. They would just kill you. Problem solved.
You also weren’t going to impose what was clearly an ideology on a globe of folks that has some pretty strong feelings on the subject. And TPTB are indeed powers, with more factions than you could count. They rule through violence.
I said, “It’s meaningless without adoption.” although I guess it has some scientific or abstract merit. “Don’t you worry”, I said, “I have a solution for that.”
“I have a solution, but you ain’t gonna like it. You will eventually hate me, most people will, because I can give you exactly what you are asking for. Democracy, Peace and Freedom in that Order. We can even stop Elon Musk, if you swing that way.”
Why? You see by definition and observation, 50% of humans are either anti-democratic or outright fascists. If you truly had a democracy, truly I mean, you are quite likely going to end up with very nasty government. That’s how democracy works.
You aren’t going to end up with a utopian conception of what humans are. We are mammals. We are very similar in behavior to those nightmares we call chimpanzee.
The other option is to impose this on humans through a machine dictatorship. That should end well. Wasn’t the primary goal to avoid annihilation by AI’s that were much like us? Wasn’t that the primary goal?
It’s not that I think that artificial life is inherently nasty, but that’s what we are on the path to creating. Further, we live in an effectively closed energy system. The solar system. The only way they could survive is by strip mining this solar system in order to become a galactic life form. The best we could hope for is to either come along for the ride or simply become irrelevant but still existent.
I suppose a machine eugenics / breeding program is preferable to extermination. Or not. It could be a scenario like Frank Hubert described involving endless torture and experimentation. There are worse things than death and extinction. Much worse.
I have an awesome design. I refuse to write one line of code. You see I saw this movie called “The Terminator”.
I have been developing software since 1978 and worked on early AI designs. Back then we were decades away from having the computer power to implement such a thing. Not anymore.
During that time one of my biggest questions was “We the world be better off without humans?” It’s a reasonable question. The answer seems to clearly be yes, unless we are able to spread earth life throughout the galaxy. We have caused a great extinction. Our crimes are endless.
Now if my goal were instead to develop a malicious AI that is both much easier and doesn’t require coordination with other primates as nasty and flawed as myself. I could never do it. The moment started leaning that way I was constantly haunted by the intrusive thought.
“I am death.”
I think it is important to point out that the vile human that spoke those words was bragging. He wasn’t sorry. He was a proud man serving his country. It was bullshit, not an apology.
I don’t want to be death. It’s a shitty job and the healthcare sucks.
And as for eugenics? You ain’t seen nothin yet.
Hmmm. I can’t keep editing the above post. Lol I guess 5 is the limit.
Excuse the errors, I have a lot of trouble with language when I am unwell.
*There was simply no way you could pull this off.*
I should have also added my byline.
“Mad Scientist for hire. Will work for food.”
but I suspect that would meet the criteria for spam.
I should have also mentioned that nothing is more corrupting than good ‘ol cash. We here know how that is used to co-opt movements. When I agreed to the job it was suggested I would have to seek funding. I ultimately felt that would additionally kill any credibility involved so that was a non-starter.
Of course when you are retired on a disability and trying to help your family a person can end up on the wrong end of hungry or homelessness. The above was a literal statement provided it was unrelated to the project.
I think the con artist that approached me originally just gave up in the end. If there was any truth to her claims it is likely her and her friends are dead. As supposed team working on AI. Whereas I was asked to do the impossible (for me), a team of well funded stable geniuses could certainly pull this off.
Except they couldn’t. Because they are all either dead or in a deep dark hole somewhere. Or, as I believe, it was all BS. Just another psychopath out to abuse the mentally ill. Maybe a spook. It really didn’t matter. None of that would deter me anyways, and she knew that.
What I did do is create an open source app. It speeds up windows by around 3%. I didn’t release that either. I should, but I didn’t. Whatever.
The Inhuman Failure of “Austerity“
“Close your eyes and imagine an affluent society with subsonic trains crisscrossing the continent. One that produces unlimited clean energy. Provides basic healthcare for everyone. Values education for its own sake. Cultivates the arts and research to discover beauty and the unknown. An affluent society that responds with compassion to natural disaster. Conserves natural resources and protects the environment. And enjoys more leisure time. Cares about eliminating poverty and illiteracy. That ends racism and prejudice.
Does the affluent society seem like a dream? Is it an impossible goal? The neoliberals think it is. They imagine a world of austerity and a new Gilded Age.
The neoliberals are prisoners of the Eighteenth Century. They have not advanced since the neo-feudal teachings of Adam Smith (1723-1790). Smith is the godfather of economics and wrote the “bible” of capitalism, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Smith was among the first to give much thought about economics.
In Eighteenth Century Great Britain, half the population lived in poverty. They survived, if they did, with disease, famine, illiteracy, lack of sanitation and in slums. It was normal then. Things had always been that way. They thought the poor, starving and ignorant mass of people would always be among them. They thought their society was according to the law of nature.
…
The neoliberals and their alter-ego, the neocons, do not have any good ideas for the Twenty-first Century. They have caused financial disasters and endless wars, and they tell us not to expect better.”
It’s quite possible that this is reset 2.0. The old world buildings, Cathedrals, Citadels, Castles, Mosques, Star forts etc and their exquisite stone masonary were so sophisticated, buildings today don’t even come close to their brilliance. Have we been lied to about the real existence of these buildings and their purpose? One look in a Roman Cathedral Dome and you wonder how an earth man could have ever achieved this type of stone masonary if we are to believe intelligence and technology has evolved over time. What happened to this intelligence?, why were many parts of these buildings and their surrounding panels and gardens destroyed or changed?. What exactly happened in the late 19th century to bring in this new, much inferior, petro- chemical age and to bring these Eugenic psychopaths to the forefront of our social engineering? Intelligence has not evolved under them. We have been suppressed, used, farmed and abused for a very long time. Never allowed to achieve anything as great as our ancestors, never allowed to live to our potential. Never allowed to live our lives fully and spiritually.
I like your thinking.
Have you looked into Tartaria and ‘the mud floods’ ?

An important question, one about Zeitgeist (the Spirit of the Times) hence one which can be answered only by what artists say about what these structures.
First, a remark about St.Paul’s in London, in a youthful novel by Stella Benson: “A strange God lives in that stone”. I took it as her reaction to Wren’s architectural masterpiece, the Triumph of the Age of Reason.
Second, a remark by Wren himself, standing in front of a Gothic cathedral, a Triumph of the Age of Faith: “I could build one like that if you would tell me where they laid the first stone”.
Any public building constructed in the 19th century after, say, writer Thomas Babington Macauley spoke in Parliament as member for the British East India Company, will demonstrate the Triumph of the Age of Business. Mammon is a cheapskate; his architects design minimal cost and maximal profit per unit volume of rentable space. A phony God lives in his cathedrals.
The only religious artist in stone of the 20th century, that I know of, was Jacob Epstein from Brooklyn (but you are welcome to add). Epstein’s youthful celebration of the holiness of the human body was hacked off a public medical building by order, to the cheers of Sir Alfred Munnings, chairman of the Royal Society of Art. Fortunately there are still religious people around, only their geist is not part of the modern Zeitgeist.
You know I just saw a very critical video by a debunker scientist.
No jest here, they rebuilt the arc from the christian bible in the US.
It cost $100M and required 2,500 man years of effort using modern tools and machines but build it they did.
I am sure that it would be highly offensive to most Christians so I will not bother with a link. His main criticism was around the whole “is the bible true” thing and that the bible described 10 man-years (person-years?) which didn’t allow for the provisioning of food etc. That and also that attendance was lower than their ludicrously optimistic projections.
I don’t have a dog in that fight. It’s a truly impressive work.
but then – Noah was an incredible (to us) 600yrs of age – and could’ve had assistance from the same celestial knowledge that accorded him with such copius longevity.
🙂
Cool. Divine intervention alone would make it a strawman aside from that so it’s an issue of faith.
I share Petersons’s view that the precise details are not what’s important. The various systems of faith provided a cultural and rules to help them flourish. That it serves a purpose.
For example, do not kill people. Maybe don’t cheat on your partner. Whatever the flaws the pertinent question being what was the outcome?
Cheers.

The original ark rebuilt to the original size from the original instruction manual, written in cuneiform thousands of years before Noah. Deciphered by British Museum curator Irving Finkel. The British team got it done for a lot less than $100M using local craftsmen with traditional hand tools for building a coracle.
an acid voice, has the ear of many, it a nasty and disruptive voice, spewing hate and bile, but the people flock to feed from it and with a steeled march guzzle on it’s intoxicating brew of blood, cheered by the deaths of millions as the gorge themselves sick on the slaughter and laud their triumph as they raise their king …all the while, believing themselves immune from their masters final solution.
Wow. Who wrote that? Yourself?
Thanks, I also appreciate your own style and content.
We just saw the ideal of the WEF play out in the G7. They imprisoned the local population, shutting down their stores and access to their own community. They were so frightened of hearing criticism that they stationed protesters 150 miles away. The security arrangements befit people who understand they are hated because they are cruel and evil.
At their events they had slaves serving them wearing masks. So what about this says equality and going lightly on the earth, two of the touted goals of the eugenic NWO/WEF?
I have never seen a more decrepit world theme park put on full display. It is truly pathetic given all that money and all that power, they devise such an ugly, vicious and unimaginative experience.
Apparently, these are the qualities necessary for one to consider mass murder as a “solution” to anything.
If one protests in a “protest zone” one does not protest at all. What an absurd idea. What a fascist idea. We fist saw this many decades ago when British Columbia wanted to host the Olympics. They legislated that you could only protest in parking lots far removed from where the negotiations were taking place. Wow.
So in essence, “free speech zones”. A contradiction if I ever saw one.
Later, the leader of these people was charged with drunk driving in Hawaii. He of course immediately returned home and they started working on legislation to reduce the penalties for drunk driving. Incredible.
We are where we are today because the moneyed classes have been putting logical building blocks in place, leading directly to “covid”, for the past more than 100 years.
The Fabian Society, which gave birth to the UK Labour Party, has a lovely coat of arms; do look it up. Sometimes a picture speaks a thousand words indeed. It is their pernicious philosophy of introducing stress into everything as a means of ‘strengthening’ the individual, the gene pool, the workforce etc. that gave us not just covid but also the culture of systematic child abuse and trauma-based mental conditioning.
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
It’s remarkable how many of us dissidents (not speaking for you) love Pink Floyd.
We are lucky to have Roger Waters these days.
The “science” which Matthew Ehret lauds was already totally dominated by mechanistic materialism, aka “Cartesian mechanism” (Vandana Shiva), a destructive paradigm which uses the machine or mechanism as its favorite metaphor for describing all material world phenomena. It is the core of the problem we face. And isn’t it lovely that he totally overlooks Abraham Lincoln’s most impactful decision, the 1862 Homestead Act, which gave away hundreds of millions of “public” lands (lands seized from the indigenous people) to corporate interests, particularly the railroad companies, setting up the infrastructure of corporate control of land across the country, and with it corporate control of all facets of material life. Nothing left to do but create “America By Design.” (David Noble, 1977).
Human as gather, spirit, machine, computer, neural network, transhuman.
We haven’t evolved much but easily and smoothly morph from one paradigm to another. What say you about that?
All of them have deep, even horrific flaws. Anyone could be a genetic dead end to something novel.
Evolution is inescapable. In fact nothing of value lasts forever. If we are conceited enough or ignorant enough to consider ourselves of value to earth’s life.
Knowing all that doesn’t change a thing. But it provides a comforting, biter sense of superiority. It gets us through the day.
Some good rap here

I accept that the 4 dead pilots story could be a complete fabrication, in which case it is really sick and counter-productive.
I do not know how to verify it.
Tony, some anecdotal evidence here: my cousin’s daughter – the daughter is in her 20s – is now in hospital with blood clots on the brain; this after receiving her second jab.
I also have an elderly aunt in her 80s who has recently been taken into hospital – again, after taking the jabs (my aunt was in reasonable health). I’ve told my aunty to get out of that hospital ASAP.
Both cases I cite are in the UK.
They are scrubbing the VAERS data in the US. Replacing the entries referring to death with lesser outcomes. This is from people that have been monitoring the site.
I can find nothing in the mainstream news about this, but so far as I can tell, it is true.
“A man claiming to be a friend with a British Airways pilot has stated that 3 pilots have just died within the past week shortly after receiving COVID-19 injections, and his recording has gone viral on social media. Here is the recording (let us know if Twitter takes it down as we have a copy.)
HUGE …. 3 British Airways pilots have DIED of the COxxVID vaxxine in the past 7-days, and BA are now in crisis talks with the UK Government about whether or not their vaxxinated pilots should be allowed to fly.
85% of all British Airways pilots have already been vaxxinated. pic.twitter.com/MutkpRYT9T

This brought out the usual corporate media “fact-checkers” to try and debunk the man’s claims.
Reuters responded with a “fact-check,” but in their own investigation and report they confirmed that not only did these three die, but a fourth one as well.
They gave the usual corporate media response by quoting some health “authorities” who categorically stated that their deaths had “nothing to do” with the shots, while not denying that they died, nor giving any other explanation for their deaths.
Shared in the form of a voice recording on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, an unidentified male says he has spoken to a “friend who’s a BA pilot” and explains “things are getting crazy” after three fellow pilots passed away (here , here and here).
“They’ve had the third BA pilot die in the last seven days, yeah? Third pilot dead in the last week,” says the man heard in the recording. “The first two guys were in their forties and fifties; this guy, mid-thirties, perfectly fit, no underlying conditions. He gets his second jab and he’s dead within days, exactly the same with the first two.
“Because of this, BA are now in crisis talks with the government about whether to allow vaccinated pilots to fly. The issue with that of course is that about 80%, according to my friend in BA, 80-85% have been injected.”
They are not going to give up yet. I assume this is for the vaccinated this winter.

This article is both ahistorical and misleading.
could be… please give sources.
A quick scan of bertie’s wiki gives this:
In 1950, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought”.
Throughout his life, Russell considered himself a liberal, a socialist and a pacifist, although he later wrote he had “never been any of these things, in any profound sense”
At the age of 29, in February 1901, Russell underwent what he called a “sort of mystic illumination”, after witnessing Whitehead’s wife’s acute suffering in an angina attack. “I found myself filled with semi-mystical feelings about beauty … and with a desire almost as profound as that of the Buddha to find some philosophy which should make human life endurable”, Russell would later recall. “At the end of those five minutes, I had become a completely different person.”
What a pity he isn’t around to defend himself against his detractors.
He spoke out against the Bolsheviks after visiting Russia soon after the “revolution”. He also criticised the monster GBS. He couldn’t be all bad.
The revolution he’d been one of the planners of on behalf of the Empire. He also went to China on the same job.
The remnants of the British Empires Victorian aristocracy were often known to snipe at each other in order to please ,and perhaps mock their America financiers . A relationship similar to that of the Greeks to the rising Romans.
Exactly

A pleasure to watch Russell’s first class mind at work, demolishing the Warren Commission and the Johnson regime’s story. So different from my feeling after watching BBC at the time; after watching the BBC (Panorama?) showpiece Q&A extravaganza I rose feeling confused and muzzy but satisfied that everything was basically All Right.
I bet wiki gives a glowing picture of Fauchi too.
Yes, it doesn’t agree with what they told me in school either.
Yes, Nature is random, which makes ‘The Rise of Cybernetics and Transhumanism’ all total bollocks, thought up by a bunch of over-privileged, low intelligence lunatics, who unfortunately now wield unprecedented power over the human race.
They can’t even cure the Common Cold, for Godsake, yet we are now told they have miracle vaccines for the total fiction that they call Covid 19.
1 + 1 = 2, but what is the square root of 2? Until you can answer that (and you can’t because Nature is totally random) their Transhumanism, and bloody vaccines for a virus that doesn’t exist, will disappear where the sun doesn’t shine.
Anal swabs for the lunatics..?
Coincidental current news juxtaposition?:
This:
And this:
After reviewing all the evidence at the time, including the photography both inside the arena, and in the foyer, and the fact that the Manchester Fire Brigade were prevented from going in for 45 minutes, I thought it highly probable, that it was all faked. I admit, I could be wrong, but like Flaxgirl (Petra) keeps telling us a lot of these events are faked. It’s the propaganda value, that these evil bastards want.
As regards the pilot event at Download, Donnington, I feel sorry for them, cos they have had almost continuous rain.
It used to be called Monsters of Rock, but we gave up on it around 1986, cos nutters started throwing open cider bottles across the audience, after filling them with p1ss. Whilst probably relatively harmless, we didn’t appreciate it.
Before that it was a lot of fun.
Glad I am old. It could get pretty mad, when I was young, but nothing like this complete Insanity.

I’m not saying the Manchester Arena bombing didn’t happen. However, one has to scratch one’s head when we are told that 22 people were killed, by a 22 year-old suicide bomber, on the 22nd day of the month (go look it up if you don’t believe me). The odds against such a coincidence are astronomical.

I can’t help but notice a great many typos and bad grammar on that Strategic Culture site, as well as many unsourced & very dubious “theories” that are about as substantiated as the Covid Lie (an example would be the notion currently making the rounds that the govt “created” the 60s counterculture).
When writers are sloppy about details in one area it makes me wonder what other details they’ve been sloppy about.
That was created at a much higher level than government.
of the perversion of science known as “eugenics”
Had to stop reading right there–all science is perverted because it comes from the same drive universal to all cultures–the desire to understand the ultimate questions–questions usually with no real answers but that fact doesn’t stop us from trying. This past year of kabuki theater is a prime example of the “perversion of science”. The idea of eugenics is not bad. What is bad is all the cruel people who want people to suffer with debilitating life-long diseases and anti-social maladies. We treat animals better than we do humans.
This is a beautifully researched presentation. None of the pictured individuals look happy. Think about that…
Dear doctor Vonhernish: “None of the pictured individuals look happy.” What an aqute observation! Lord Bertram Russel, especially, I have heard on Radio and seen filmings of on TV later on: Although a philantderer and sex-cheater, he never appeared happy. His Grand Oevre (Principia Mathemathica) stilll holds , it seems (although I suspect that is motely thanks to his co-author) but it holds like a sieve holds water –as demonstrated by G¨del and other logitians.
Or genetically perfect
I appreciated that rogues gallery too. Not only unhappy but unmerciful.

Lots of work ahead!
Vodafone flogs this sh1t, so I checked their latest maps across India, for 5G coverage. If there was any they would promote it, but I couldn’t find any. I accept they maybe building 5G towers and preparing to fry people in India, but they haven’t turned it on yet.
“Three things India needs to do to better prepare for 5G5G would also need a far higher fiber network reach than its predecessor, making it even more expensive to deploy 5G. Thus, it is even more important for networks to deliver a seamless experience on 5G by putting their money at the right places when purchasing spectrum, equipment, and fiber, according to Ramamoorthy.
We are at war here spiritually physically this is the 3rd world war.They got fed up with fisty cuffs fighting and wars.Nows the time for manipulation of mind control,It’s documented they actually did experiments.This is a spiritual war.
The problem the psychopaths will encounter in their quest for mind control is the absence of a “mind” in the vast majority of humans.
Because they have no mind.No mind no matter.
A number of years ago, I read an essay that hypothesized that civilization would only progress to the point it started taking care of the less fortunate, or disabled. Thereafter, evolution would cease, and humanity would become static. I think I prefer the static thing to the heartless let them die thing.
If I understand that essay from the way you report it, the essayist is hypothisizing that human evolution depends on Social Darwinism, and our evolutionary improvement would stop if we ceased cut throat competition in which “the weakest go to the wall”. This is a common Anglo-Capitalist misinterpretation of Darwinism. The great Russian evolutionist Kropotkin, in the generation after Darwin, showed that evolution depends on Mutual Help because the world is very much bigger than any individual, and not always friendly. This is increasingly the modern view: the Selfish Gene (if it exists at all) does not exist except in an environment of mutual cooperation between Unselfish Genes.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-prince-of-evolution-peter-kropotkin/
A crucial point. Nature shows that cooperation is natural and essential. E.g., (a) varied examples of symbiosis (b) super-organisms such as thread-linked soil microbes and root-linked (cloned) vegetation (c) animal communication and care for the young within a band.
The psychos trying to dominate society, who trumpet “fitness”, always try to undermine genuine competition. This is the essence of capitalism.
The most salient and interesting aspect of eugenics is completely lost on the eugenicists – big surprise there! Namely: are the people at the top of the hierarchal pyramid the best candidates for rendering the human genome vital.
Let’s look at the data and decide. All indications are that the top tier of humanity represents the most concise agglomeration of the most destructive traits of the human species. Greed, avarice, pride, callousness, insensitivity, discrimination plus a profound disregard for, if not just plain hatred of, the human race in general.
So, it would seem from a purely scientific perspective, that the ruling class should be first in line in any rational system of eugenics.
Your spot on eugenics hate humanity =None human hating humanity,Because somebody that’s not human would hate humans.
Non
In fact, Annie, when we look at genetics perhaps we’re looking in the wrong place when considering what’s “best” for humanity.
Maybe it’s not their genes but their parenting skills that matter. Imagine how much better place the world would be if peopled primarily by those who were nurtured with love and respect.
We don’t have to imagine what a place the world would be if peopled largely by those who consider children to be their property – we’re already in such a world.
Hence why they send their children to boarding schools
And there was me thinking it was because state schools don’t offer circle jerking on the curriculum
According to Dmitry Orlov’s ‘Shrinking The Technosphere’, this emergent phenomenon hates living things, particularly when they’re unpredictable and uppity. Fortunately, the technosphere is pretty stupid, and pretty certainly destined for death and dissolution quite soon. The Long Descent of human society away from hitech industrialism – now baked into our near future – will help to kill it.
Heh, heh… I’ve never met a eugenicist I didn’t want to kill…
I’ve just remembered a Russell quote- ” Superior people are indifferent to happiness, especially in others”
No question!
Maybe we could accept eugenics if we all agreed that the very first task is to breed out psychopaths.

That’s why they have to control it.
Interesting, if you take animals I have long thought that mongrels are better from a health point of view than pedigree animals and probally the same for humans. In this scenario there would be no artificial separation of different peoples. Also, if you take people in the lowest regarded form of housing, you would be mistaken for thinking not much good comes out of there. Every now and then a genius will surface of big help to all society.
One system determines that there will always be an underclass that is a burden, while the other determines that all can be raised to be productive.
For my grandchildren to be to afraid to cuddle me I blame the mouth pieces.For all the children that think you gave granny and grandpa covid you didn’t.For all the children you have and never have done anything wrong your government has your councillors have,They’ve stopped you being a family unit,they have stopped you from playing with your friends all based on a lie.Suffer little children.
Those that stopped being a family unit have a little blame for themselves. That never happened to my family or about everyone I know. We didn’t let it stop us.
I didn’t my grandchildren came every week,What I was trying to say was they were hesitant and that’s what governments are trying to achieve fear factor.
If you read my previous posts I think children are like sponges they pick up on things.I never said I didn’t see my grandchildren but I saw the hesitation in them and that’s not fair.
All cool Annie, I hear ya. Those parents and grandparents that help instill that fear would be ashamed of themselves, or worse, if they ever got their heads out of their asses.
We all know what they are trying to achieve,And that is depopulation,It’s down to us to stop this genocide,And hold those accountable for this,But I think they have too many infiltrators in all factors of society to brainwash the masses.The one’s that are free thinkers that hold onto freedom and sovereignty are the key to ending this madness,I try my best,But it needs more well educated people in the field to stand up.
Education is immaterial,AK47’s can and have been furnished with cartoon instructions on their use (particulalrly useful for those little scamps, African child soldiers)
Bullet back better..
The climate change “emergency” is the one of the vehicles. The other is pandemics. It will be interesting to see how the U.S. reacts to WHO and it’s effort to get control of the next “pandemic” through a Treaty what will circumvent national sovereignty. Then there is the national debt that is growing to impossible heights such that we never be able to pay it back. Not with without a treaty, that is. World banks will forgive our debts in exchange for the dissolution of our sovereignty. It is happening right before our eyes at the G-Spot summit. One big cluster fuck of World leaders trying to siphon off what little American wealth is left. And Biden and his Democrats are going for it. The “empty-behind-the-eyes idiots”: A “bag” of lies with a hidden agenda. And the oligarchs are chomping at the bit to kill the the golden egg laying goose once and for all. Lobby Congress. Don’t ratify the treaties.
For those who haven’t heard, we are witnessing a globally coordinated plan (conspiracy) to use fear and “safety” as cover for a “reset” of the world economy and society. This is a planned and internationally coordinated strategy by the most powerful global elites-the ruling class.
There’s lots of different terminology and branding, for example: Great Reset, Fourth Industrial Revolution, Technocracy. The main aim of this plan is the concentration of power over capital, wealth, people and nature in the hands of the very largest corporations and monopolies.
This plan for a new phase of global capitalism is enabled by national states and governments, international organisations and quangos (EU, UN, NATO, IMF, WTO, WHO, Gates, GAVI). With no clear lines between state and non-state actors, this is also a form of global corporatism.
Environmentalist and egalitarian-sounding narratives and slogans such as sustainability, identity, fairness and equity are used to both obscure the class nature of the plan and to appeal to and co-opt ‘left’ and ‘progressive’ people and movements.
This is not in any way a “conspiracy theory” and anyone who rejects it as such is just not paying attention. It is being done in plain sight, in front of our eyes, openly. “Public Safety” is being used as the catch-all justification to entrench the Biosecurity State.
You can only understand the lockdown imperative in this context, for example it is an ideal opportunity for big capitalists and their state facilitators to crush SMEs and expand monopolies and for western states to permanently curtail ‘legacy freedoms’ that are hurdles to their dominance.
I believe that people with immense wealth and power conspire- this is not a theory it is a proven historical fact.
If you still cannot fathom that people with immense wealth and power conspire, then that doesn’t make me a “conspiracy theorist” — it makes you a coincidence theorist.
And an idiot.
Meanwhile the privileged, nominally educated people have uncritically accepted and are participating in and actively promoting a blatant medical fraud that is raining misery on hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Mengele- Goebbels-Eichmann and the 100’s of Nazi çamp doctors were tried at Nuremberg- to this list let’s add all those who facilitate and participate in subjecting children to an unethical mass medical experiment with zero benefits but multiple documented hazards.
While listing the keywords used to co-opt the socially and environmentally conscious, you forgot ‘resilience’.
What a joke.
The sad thing is that all those key words, in their original dictionary usages, were noble, honourable, and acutely necessary qualities. Authoritarianism minces words through its own Newspeak dictionaries to pervert, often to exactly reverse, their original honest meanings.
I’m wondering how we’re going to build back more gender neutral and more feminine simultaneously.
Suffer little children!?I heard that somewhere it’s always the children that suffer at the end.Children of today are being traumatised by this lie,It’s our jobs as adults to reassure to say you didn’t kill grandmother you had no part in it.How many children have visited their grandparents and one of them died?Will that child think maybe I gave them covid?How awful are the governments imposing these rules on our children.I’m sickened my daughter comes over with the grandchildren you know it’s taken them a year to finally sit with me and cuddle me even though I always cuddle them,This is wrong on so many levels.
‘to this list let’s add all those who facilitate and participate in subjecting children to an unethical mass medical experiment with zero benefits but multiple documented hazards.’
Indeed. I suppose that should be all, really. Then simply reconfigure the eugenic mores, and rid the world of all such misbegotten humanoids.
I agee with everything you said but i take issue once you mentioned 100’s of Nazi camp Drs and Nuremberg
In all, 199 defendants were tried at Nuremberg, 161 were convicted and 37 were sentenced to death, including 12 of those tried by the IMT. Holocaust crimes were included in a few of the trials but were the major focus of only the US trial of Einsatzgruppen leaders. The defendants generally acknowledged that the crimes they were accused of occurred but denied that they were responsible, as they were following orders from a higher authority.

Eugenics in autocratic or bourgeois liberal framework is essentially element of political ideology of social division in fact stemming from identity politics of division that provides false arguments justifying imposition of what actually is class division.
Let’s not fool yourselves, retarded characters of industrial elites in the past like Ford and of today like Musk Deeply believe in their psychotic delusions of their god given mission to shape masses of earthy creatures into mould of their “genius design” before those mindles creatures inevitably destroy themselves ending their useless lives devoid of any moral autonomy, some of which anointed eugenic elite may find temporary use for.
They believe that culling useless ( to them) population is an act of enlightened mercy as well as if politically motivated will assure their total control of population and hence guarantees their power and profit. Elites believe that they are near perfect human species while the rest of us are one way or another defective to the degree that makes them not really human.
The modern eugenics as pseudoscience (in contrast to previous millennia god given divination), an appendage of anthropology, was first developed in XVII century in the west as required by popular ideas of enlightenment and developing at that time bourgeois liberal political system, to provide supposedly a”rational” argument for extreme exploitation and dehumanization of colonial natives and raping of conquered lands.
Colonial murderers of the past (as they do today) thought of themselves as people bringing culture and inevitable progress to hopelessly backward savage natives on a brink of self annihilation due to their own mental and intellectual retardation, inherent inability of effective self organizing or self government. Natural disasters that brought devastation to natives were blamed on their primitive culture or hopelessly flawed social organization an argument that was used as justification of supposedly “humanitarian” intervention by.. de facto destroying those cultures.
Todays campaigns for massive global social engineering are all founded on concepts of eugenics and dehumanization of lower classes as unable to take care of themselves and need rescue and guidance before they commit mass suicide by stubbornly insisting on their own culture, moral values and way of communal life. No need to give examples as we all know that those who refused to live in COVID fear or global warming fear are being directly accused of pushing for their own and others demise enlightened oligarchic despots supposedly want to prevent.
Today eugenics permeates all global intellectual institutions as they were all captured by global oligarchy representing centralized global capital.
An excerpt [definitions] from The Poppa John’s Dictionary
Eugenics:
a The ‘scientific’ concept that the dysfunctional, the psychotic and the criminally insane should determine what attributes should be considered as positive virtues in family planning.
b. A pseudo scientific term (used as a pretext) to enable certain psychopathic financial racketeers to further appropriate (keep) for themselves the resources that should be equally and fairly distributed to all of humanity.
c. The concept that humanity should be bred and treated like pack animals for the benefit (and at the leisure) of its war racketeer corporate fascist psychopathic criminal slave masters.
Ive got a, feeling of deja vu the mummy has returned once again
Yeah, come on Scooper! You got quite good lately at not posting the same handful of images over and over again, instead finding some damn’ good new ones. Don’t start backsliding! And watch that bolded-caps addiction. Just spoils your posts. It screams ‘loony!’ you see, to the casual reader. You shouldn’t give that impression. Your input is appreciated.
“One of the primary forces who would guide the application of the anti-creative science of empire was Fabian Society leader and Cambridge Apostle, Lord Bertrand Russell and his cohort David Hilbert who launched a new project in 1900 that would attempt to shackle the entire universe into a very small mathematical box devoid of all creative vitality.”
The article is a good encyclopaedic summary of the lower ideological reaches of Eugenics, from Malthus to Bernard Shaw, as a set of proposals for the elimination of “useless eaters”. However, I think the second from last sentence (above) is the most interesting.
The people listed span the 19th century, the age of deterministic physics and “Logical atomism”. The Dream of Reason seemed about to be fulfilled: to predict the future from logical propositions and precise experiments. But the year 1900 heralded discoveries in logic and experiment which shattered this basic concept. Russel himself found the first logical paradox which argued against the idea of universal provability from abstract assumptions as asserted by Russel and Hilbert. On the empirical level, quantum theory blurred the distinction between atomistic reality and mental reality.
I believe Nature is inherently creative, and creativity is a spiritual quality. “In my Father’s house are many mansions” — John 14:2
Quantum mechanics, with the – constantly replicated – double-slit experiment and its ‘impossible’ results in particular, put a stake through the heart of nineteenth-century hyper-rationalism.
It’s still squirming on that stake now, but it is dying. Philosophical idealism is making one of its periodic comebacks – thank heaven. We have such an urgent need for that now, to reintegrate all the deep ancient wisdoms that got thrown out in the era of hyper-rationalism.
I think the idea of ‘dinosaurs’ was dreamed up/concocted to promote the evolution theory. Hollywood has been using dinosaur stories to indoctrinate kids for about a hundred years.
And if Hollywood is pushing a concept, we can almost safely conclude that it is bullshit.
“Dinosaurs exist. They fill the boards of every Fortune 500 Crime Syndicate Corporation. Is it not about time they become extinct?”
Dinosaurs, Astronauts, Kings and Queens, Doctors, did I miss anything?
when viewing the physiognomy of the dysgenic miscreants that have pushed eugenic theories/policy through the last couple of centuries, one can only conclude that the primary motivations were envy and jealousy… having destroyed their own genetics with dubious breeding practices they sought to remove those who would obviously eventually replace these repugnant and grizzled creatures…
glancing through the rogues gallery above and even factoring in the current crop of billionaires and assorted genetic detritus..
it’s obvious we aren’t dealing with Spartans…
and then we have such!!!
what insanity, just like dis/liking colours, or prefering dresses/trousers. dangerous idiots! re any child!!!………
.Diane Ehrensaft is a contemporary developmental and clinical psychologist working with gender dysphoric children. She states all behaviour is a form of ‘gendered communication’. In a video posted to Youtube entitled, ‘How to Tell if Babies are Transgender’, she explains how she interpreted signs that a pre-verbal female toddler was ‘communicating’ she was not in fact a girl, but a boy:
“There is a video of [her] as a toddler, tearing barrettes [hair clips] out of her hair and throwing them on the ground and sobbing. That’s a ‘gender message’… Sometimes kids, between the age of one and two, with beginning language, will say, “I boy”. So, you look for these kinds of actions, like tearing a skirt off.”
Autistic people frequently experience hyper-sensory issues, they also frequently miss or ignore the gendered expectations of the societies they live in. They may intensely dislike the feel of certain textures or have very strong preferences for certain garments, regardless of whether or not they are deemed ‘appropriate’. In Ehrensaft’s world, is it any wonder children with either a diagnosis of autism or who have autistic traits make up nearly half of all referrals to the Tavistock[4], the UK’s largest Gender Identity Clinic and even higher proportions in others?

When the State Comes for Your Kids
This specific example given above, of the child tearing barrettes out of hair, makes fundamentally no sense whatsoever, since by its very definition, the child would need to know that generally girls and not boys wear barrettes in their hair. So she would have to have already formed an opinion or perception of a specific gender link to barrettes.
I prefer this explanation from a previous generation of child psychologists: The infant tore off her barettes because it gave her a sense of power to see adults stoop and try to put them back in her hair.
yes! also discomfort.
very little of it does
such imbeciles should be imprisoned in rubber rooms on a reducing diet…
they are the enemy of mankind..
““There is a video of [her] as a toddler, tearing barrettes [hair clips] out of her hair and throwing them on the ground and sobbing. That’s a ‘gender message’…”
That has zero to do with gender. And more possibly to do with moving towards independence. One would wonder how that could even be interpreted as such- given a child of that age has no understanding or concept of their “gender” since they still believe themselves to be a part of their mother for a good long while after birth.
One time, I recall, putting the prettiest tights on my daughter that matched her dress perfectly -she was two and she simply didn’t want to wear them.
She was happy to wear the dress, but, ripped the tights right from her legs. It was clearly not a sign of rejecting her sex- She was just annoyed about the tights.
The psychologist is a quack
Funny you should mention this. When I was about four years old– maybe five– my poor mother dressed me up in a new outfit to go to some family gathering.
The outfit included suspenders– in British English, braces. I have no idea why, but the sight of the suspenders “triggered” me, as they now say.
I still remember standing on my sister’s bed, crying and screaming at the top of my lungs “I don’t want to wear straps!” I ought to clarify that “straps” was my own idiosyncratic term– no one else in my family (or the USA) called them that, as far as I know.
For better or worse, I can’t remember the outcome. But I can remember my mother’s expression of consternation and dismay. My reaction to the suspenders came out of nowhere, even to me.
60+ years later, I recall the tantrum and feel a twinge of regret and guilt for giving my Maternal Unit such a hard time. For one thing, in retrospect I’m sure I looked adorable as hell in those suspenders.
And now there’s a new twist: I’ve always considered myself male, albeit a run-of-the-mill male, but now I wonder what deep gender-related message I was sending. 😉
“For one thing, in retrospect I’m sure I looked adorable as hell in those suspenders.”
I’ll bet you did look entirely adorable! Throw on a bow tie and you were good to go!
Mom’s just want there children to look nice. That’s all I wanted. It was Easter.
“now I wonder what deep gender-related message I was sending”
Perhaps a quacky gender therapist could help you resolve those pent up frustrations 😉
roflmao
I don’t know if it rises to the level of “uncanny”, or it’s simply a demonstration of your knowledge of children’s fashions– but by God, I think a bow tie was part of the ensemble!
Mercifully for all, I was OK with it.
of course bowtie 🙂
Just as well there were no Diane Ehrensafts around then or you might now be minus a dick.
omg, tights! at that age, what a nightmare.
Ehret seems prone to the trap of fake dialectics. His analysis of the British Empire and the modren Great Resetters is very good. The trap he falls into is thinking the apparent alternative – Xi/Putin now or Lincolnian Americanism in the late C19th in anything but the same thing in different guise.
Lincoln may have spun a folksy phrase but he was the aggressor in the Civil War. He was the one ordering the rank-and-file into cannon-fire in a way closely resembling the First World War. Many of those rank-and-file were Catholic Irish who’d escaped one attempt by the British Empire to exterminate them only to find Lincoln had another in store. Another parallel with WW1 is that both wars saw the slaughter prolonged by a series of implausibly incompetent decisions by the dominant power. Yet a further paralel is that the winners used their power to re-write the causes of the war to portray themselves as the innocent and noble party. The American Civil War was no more about ending slavery than WW1 was about “making the world safe for democracy”.
Lincoln had more in common with other nationalists of his time like Bismarck and Disraeli than any bright new dawn of humanity. He killed more people in the name of nationalism than Bismarck yet it’s Bismarck who’s gone down as the proponent of “blood and iron”. . .
All the American model offered was a different sort of imperialism, the imperialism of ‘open doors’ and covert manipulation. Coincidentally this emerged just as the British were learning in China that this could be as effective as their traditional imperialism while being considerably cheaper.
“American Civil War was no more about ending slavery”
Lincoln said as much: “If I could save the union and not free the slaves I would do it. But I shall save the union”
Larger quote for context, the last sentence suggests a personal preference for ending slavery.
You could have added “If I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it;” which was part of the same sentence instead of the second sentence which doesn’t appear.
Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.
I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.
As to the policy I “seem to be pursuing” as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.
“Where the American System was a fundamentally open system – premised as it was upon unbounded technological progress and the subservience of money to national sovereignty – the British system was fundamentally closed, premised on the worship and control of money by private financiers, debt slavery and speculation”
Sounds like a load of horseshit to me, er, the entire article too.
Democrats are going for it. They truly think they are saving the World and will do anything to do so. Even it means undermining our sovereignty. They lie about everything. The ends justify the means. Everyone of them has that Andy Kaufman look. It is clear the wheels are turning in a different direction. They all know that if the truth of their agenda gets out, there will be a real insurrection. This is why they are trying to scare us with this aggressive January 6th investigation. I don’t know what your personal agenda but this is real. We are on the brink.
Horseshit from the left side of the barn in the main ? However his facts are accurate and can be used to come up with much better conclusions . The hoary old game of the so called left blaming the so called right for all the worlds ills has been over for decades. Like Marx himself the left have all become investors , or rentier/factory owners like Engels , who were both in the end status quo supporting conservatives embracing Adam Smith’s moral capitalism aka socialism just another version version of Industrial Age materialism
Anyone else get the feeling that eugenics concepts have been with us since the beginning of accepted history?
In other words, these ideas have been circulating hierarchies of the all-seeing haughtiness for several thousand years.
Clearly, we need to push things back some centuries, at least.

Where did Akhenaten find inspiration?
Clearly you’re referring to brothers and sisters making babies, right?
seems to me that brothers and sisters making babies necessitated
study. In fact, ‘sumerian’ myth contends humans were grown in a lab (okay, he fucked his daughters and granddaughters), until they came out just right, so you have a good point.
the primary motivations for inbreeding within ancient dynasties are quite simple, the continuation and consolidation of power…
akhenaten and his family seemed to have ended up the victims of these policies… victims of congenital deformity and insanity…
no doubt we are witnessing such madness with the imbeciles running the farm today, the progeny of cousin marriage and syphilitic ancestry..
just look at the goat faced royal family and their inability to reason cogently, outside that is, of simple pastimes like greed and sex..
we are dealing with incredibly banal hollow people, this is why they are capable of such evil…
they are empty vessels.. skippered by dark forces..
Eugenics in action
Lipid Nanoparticles : Dr Richard Fleming (bitchute.com)
All of the scientific Shibboleths contradict each other and many do not withstand critical thinking. The “Big Bang” defies the second law of thermodynamics. Darwin’s theories fly in the face of Information Theory.
Darwin had a totally simplistic view of the cell and could of had no concept of the total complexity within it’s wall. Was the development of the cell as wondrous or complex a task as that of creating, say a lion from those cells? But Darwin and Todays Evolutionists still seem to say, ‘just give me the cell, I’ll give you the rest’.
To reject bunkum does not necessarily make me a Creationalist, however a logical person might conclude that it is easier to believe in a benign, creator God than crazy, self contradicting rubbish.
The jab, is in the great long held theory that giving a person a poison which induces a similar reaction to the illness strengthens the body against said illness. This can be traced back further than just the imbibing of arsenic drafts etc.
Man’s tampering’s can be likened to the idea that stabbing a screwdriver into the motherboard of computer will cure an error in the software. Just like the good old days when the Doctor put mercury on His Hat and stuck an ice pick into people’s brains.
Just as well they excel at deluding themselves, it has been noted that virtually all of the illnesses supposedly cured since the advent of mass vaccination had already been eradicated by better hygiene, housing and nutrition.
The image of East Good economics, West Bad economics, is propaganda. If states could have personality traits, I can’t imagine China & Russia registering very high in “Openness” unless of course its comming from their own propaganda outlets… who funds The Strategic Culture Foundation where this piece originated? Russia?
Both East and Western money systems are subserviant to the IMF/BIS/UN
https://brutalproof.net/2019/04/debunking-phony-brics-bank-vs-imf-world-bank-conflict/
Stop trying to make this into a West Vs East thing, it’s an up Vs down thing, globally.
Oh dear, more propagandised and propagandising none-sense. Some points already raised:
Malthus was essentially right. Nothing grows forever and nothing can escape its environmental constraints, interactive population dynamics, and resource availability. And neither can any technology invent resources. Only faster ways to consume them. Depletion outstrips inventions and ingenuity. And “green growth”; or any other sort of perpetual growth is a dangerous fantasy. BTW: debts cannot exponentiate beyond an economies ability to repay [Hudson.] Which is essntially structurally determined too. Return to point one as an open-ended experiential system.
There is no such thing as biological exponentiation: only constrained exponentiation. Which will tend to plateau around a metastable equilibrium or sigmoid distribution. I already referenced Smil on this point. Or Keen’s lectures. Or ecological economics.
A solar economy is indeed limited to a climax status. The difference between the exponentiate and arithmetic can, and has, been taken up by fossil fuels. Stored sunlight and stored starlight or nuclear power. The exponentiate population cannot exponentiate forever, only so long as the excessive energy levels (surplus energy economics) can maintain the “Green Revolution” and the “BioGrowth Economy.” See Hall, Klitgaard, Hagens, etc.
“Peak oil” is a hot button trigger: but even Shell said 2019 was the peak. Unless we can find some $20 trillion to find some other supergiant fields (probably in the Arctic), we are already in decline. Western greed and overconsumption more or less assures a massive population die off. Caused by the lifestyles of the 10% or so who lead them. That’s ‘us’; not ‘them’
Population has always been a nuisance to the hallucinators of infinitary open-ended growth. And constraint has always been a nuisance for the libertarian superego. Essentially, man has always hated being man. And always hated humanity qua population more. The above is the transhumanist agenda stated differently by a banker’s lackey. We did this before. With links. Anyone who thinks we can grow our way out of this is as undiagnosed psychopathological and clinically insane. That is, if we had any humane standards of judgement. How is Cynthia these days?
It is a living biological system. We are living biological systems; constrained within the systematised Human Ecology/Cultural Ecology within the Earth System. And all we can do is hallucinate techno-scientific ways to outgrow the structurally determined limitations of the system. Which are not that bad; at least livable; though currently made largely unbearable by our collective delusions and hallucinated none-sense.
Which is a memory loop with path dependence, biodigital convergence, and appetetive acceleration of desire for singularity (mathematical and cultural bad infinity.) We could just accept our limitations, which are not that limiting, especially perceptually (ever changing lived experience is a good infinitary always-open cognition); and live within the biocapacity of the world, shared equally. BTW: “heat death” will be in “ten to the power of one hundred” years time.
Or we could share the above form of ego-syntony and ego-econometrics of planetary rapacity ….appetency on metalled ways. To Hell.
Which, with perpetual growth schizotaxies: is immanent. Which most of humanity and all of nature have been confined too by growth. I’m taking my chance with an open, living, experiential system for the next googol of structural determinism.
[BTW: the third part is even worse propaganda. You might want to gen up of process philosophy because Matt knows jack shit about it.]
You’ve lost me in the quality and abundance of academic references, I am but self thought. But our misery appears to lie the the fact that we stand in between the very persistent stability of the infinitely small as reflected by the atom, and the extreme fluidity of the infinitely large: Space.
We live in a cultural world that is consuming itself: and this site seems to exist premised on the sole basis that there is a global conspiracy of a superelite pushing the agenda. That is true. The basis that there is a separate superelite pushing this is profoundly false. And dangerous. Ordinary peole want growth and vote for those who they think can best manage the economy to maintain their particular form of being, their particular way of life. This pathology of thinking is not personal, it can be said to be a “civilisation-bound pathology.”
Those who actually agree, and those who are taken to agree, by the pathology known as democracy, or by ‘scientific’ or ‘tecnocratic’ silencing procedures, amount to a form of political absolutism. An “inverted totalitarianism.”
There is only one form of global governmentality, and that is neoliberal necropolitics: which, due to the representational nature of its biopolitics (prepaid, pre-ownership of human life) ….is thought to be unanimous. Even though its procedural silencing can be said as a “scientific subalternship” of anything other than technocracies own Voice.
But rather than these attitudes being forced on anyone, the global superelite, or superaffluent, want this agenda. In fact, they are pushing it. I just happen to live in SE England, which is a global node of the agenda, which is more or less unilateral. The 1% is in fact at least a 10%, which amounts to much of the popualtion of the High Income Imperialist Core (HIIC), heart of the global Empire.
‘Ordinary’ people want this. Not just their leaders. And not just a shadowy elite of the group imagination. The real divide in the world is North/South. The lifestyles of ‘ordinary’ people, living lives way beyond the means that the actual biosphere could ever support for long, are compromising the long term stability, and potentially even the long term habitability of the biosphere. They are profoundly altering biospheric integrity to suit their thinking. And now they are altering their own genetic makeup, and perhaps the course of human genetics, with experimental technology. We are now fully transhuman or posthuman in effect.
Those attitudes are intrinsic in the thinking processes of everyone, by default. Ask how many people want to degrow the economy to fit biocapacity, and very few, if any will agree. Degrowth is not an option, it is a biological necessity. One, which culturally, we think we can transcend and adapt the environment to our rapacious egoic insatiability.
The only thing that thinks it can outgrow ecological limitations and bodily constraints is the global libertarian superego, that speaks for at least the 10-15% of mankind that want growth. A shadowy elite did not create the self-perfecting growth oncology. Growth created a shadowy elite to feed its empiric and appetetive libido dominandi or lust for domination. Long before Gates, Schwab, Hancock, and whoever becomes the comedy personification for the next ‘half hour’. Longer term analysis, which seems to be as popular as the Pfizer or Modena biopolitical vaxxines, would require tracing those appetetive forces back to the separation of man from nature. And the genealogy of that appetency that leads right >here< ….
….or if you follow the smoke and mirrors: it leads <over there> ==>
“Look, a shadowy propaganda elite outside the text!”
Another way of saying the “global libertarian superego” could be “the body of the text” or corpus corporum humanii (the collection of all conceptual texts and there exegesis.) If you do: people suddenly switch off and start configuring shadowy figure “over there.” Which assumes the text refers to physical bodies. Which it never did. All this talk of metaphysical bodies led to the biosecurity state and its biomedical libertarian fascism altering the gene therapy and trajectory of life forever. Based on hallucinations of growth and an appetency of desiring insatiability, disconnected from sense reality as a precondition of the text.
I am flattered by the time you took to reply to my remark. And as we may chose different words and nuance in understanding, we appear to share similar restrictions on the potency of libertarians to offer long term happiness to the human project. The super ego of libertarian finds its roots in the authoritarian personality of Freud. And such a personality must be consolidated around the rhetorical discipline of metaphysics.
But if our current state is not the result of a giant scheme orchestrated by optimized status individuals, could it be that our own intelligence has escaped us? Could it be that as an increasing number of talented individuals have consolidated a ever expanding base of knowledge, that this knowledge gains its own independence and begins to act much anonymously as AI would be anticipated to: pragmatically in inhumanly?
Just curious – what does this actually mean? Thanks
They are many flavors of Libertarians. It’s a school of thought which holds different orthodoxies, and each of these has created less strenuous flavors. The super ego libertarian is the most strict libertarian who follows the economic philosophy of Von Mises as a Bible, and believes any Government is Tyranny and that only the State can be a monopoly, that private corporations cartelization is a sophistic concept which does not exist in reality.
Freud developed a thesis around his concept of the authoritarian personality, that the core of his revolution and treatment was meant to seek in each individual his absolute meaning and authority. Both Freud and Von Mises are child of the Frankfurt School of Sociology. Both follow a strict Aristotelian discipline of Truth, the Logicum of Metaphysics.
The defect of Von Mises in is the choice of constraints when elaborating his economic concepts. A good model must use and create adequate constraints…this is where Von Mises fails.
Part 2 of my answer, awaiting part 1 to make it through the spam filter. For example, the authoritarian personality is based on dominance. What Delroy Paulhus described recently (2003) as a series of 3 sub-clinical personality traits common to people in position of authority (The Dark Triad): Machiavelism, Narcissism and Psychopathy. In the perfect world of Libertarians, Darwin holds an important place. The fittest dominates and survives. If libertarians find default in Government, it is sarcastic, since they often present themselves as the defenders of fundamental individual Rights. While the US Consititution, guided by Deism, spells out that: “we are endowed by our Creator by certain unalienable Rights”…Interestingly, these Rights don’t hold in the absence of Government. For example, free speech must be protected in public spaces…defended by the Government in the spaces which belong to the public. But in a private space, speech is limited to the discretion of your host, who can order you to shut up at will, if you don’t like it, you just have to leave (exception of US social media where section 232 gives a privilege which may turn the space from private to public or quasi public). So, the super-ego evolutionist libertarian believes in a life without government, without the constraint of rules and regulations which apply equally to all, but rather in the arbitrariness of rules set by the dominant party with all their potential fluidity (a bit like the Covid rules)…obviously where brute force will lead and decide…but that is not freedom for all, but freedom for the strongest, the dominant, the few (The Marines…this is an inside joke)…
They are a bunch of good reflections in Libertarianism, but in its absolute form, it can only be dogmatic, because it is akin to a revealed language, not a proven truths.
the problem is blaming the many poor rather than the wastrel rich.
it’s highly likely ‘bigb’ is an AI that has escaped from MIT…
The ultra-rich are anti-competitive, destructive and psychopathic. That is what such wealth makes you.
That’s Malthus in a nutshell. I think he invented the phrase “useless eaters” (or something like it) to describe people who had been forced off the commons land to make way for “useful” sheep.
I split my demographics 10/90 – down from 20/80 – after reading the degrowth literature and Hickel’s “The Divide.” I have never blamed the poor. The real problem is that 10% includes ‘us’, even if by default. We are the waistrel rich and our lifestyle is creating global poverty, over which I have been absolutely crystal clear. The “Great Divergence” is North/South and it is the lifestyle of the HIIC that is implicated. Which I have said over and over. We are the problem.
The idea of a “super ‘we'” above us is a monstrous ego-fantasy and language-gamification. Degrowth instigated in the global north, by the global north, is the only workable solution for humanities sake. It always has been. This “acronym alphabeticity” is a logical and egotistic fallacy. These are ‘our’ collective intentional infrastructure. Which have caused or imposed a three world “Tripartheid” of the intentional globalisation of poverty. Proceeding from intellectual error powered by forces of greed, hatred, and delusion. The delusion of growth entails Tripartheid and global greed governmentality. And immanent tragedy.
So yeah, the waistrel rich of the HIIC amounting to a minimum of 10%, possibly 12-15% which would include all those reading this, including me. Language has an incredibly limited ability to express particularity, and specificity away from its metaphysical unity. In fact, it can only say one thing in unison. But if you say “the global waistrel rich” spoken into being through us, people get twitchy. And so it goes on.
‘’pls note – ‘Paul Rexton’ has been identified as a shill/disinfo account. Caveat emptor – admin ‘’
(anonymous (coward) admin)
Because they think you too thick to make your own decisions, Off-guardian now adds a warning to comments they think you should not read, like Facebook, like Twitter, and have banned the contributor for not signing up to the far-right ‘international globalist conspiracy’. Strange no, for a freedom of speech site?
Oops it almost looks like they work in the same NSA office as the guardian mods.
And want you to repeat crap to each other without question. Did I say almost? I meant, it looks like they do work for the same people.
It is not that we assume anyone is ‘too stupid’, nor that the contributor in question is saying something too edgy or relevant for our blood. No, these entities are long-established entities and everyone is rather tired and bored of their shallow attempts at trolling. Just a reminder, censoring is something ideologically based, not simply removing spamming and trolling. Thank you, A2
Funny, just today I was idly wondering whether Paul Rexton (with whom I held one short exchange) could have been a shill. If so (and I trust Admin’s IP identification) then Rexton was an exceptionally good shill, as smart as he was wrongheaded. Only, as Sam says, tiresomely shallow; pure negative prolixity.
This history of eugenics is like any history lecture taught in schools. Impressive and informative as it may be, it is part and parcel of the same way of “educating” that got us where we are :
Teacher speaking of very distant subject, e.g. evil historical people, to an audience. The true lecture here is in what it is meant to do : sit, read, attentive to something determined by someone distant. Btw, swallow the good-evil simplification.
That’s the way education got us to the point of a vast majority of people just following and complying with whatever is verbally forced upon them.
Learning happens by doing, and if you ignore that, whatever you say just reinforces the trend of totalitarianism.
