Distract, Divide and Conquer: The REAL State of Our Union
John whitehead
Step away from the blinders that partisan politics uses to distract, divide and conquer, and you will find that we are drowning in a cesspool of problems that individually and collectively threaten our lives, liberties, prosperity and happiness.
These are not problems the politicians want to talk about, let alone address, yet we cannot afford to ignore them much longer.
Foreign interests are buying up our farmland and holding our national debt. As of 2021, foreign persons and entities owned 40.8 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, 47% of which was forestland, 29% in cropland, and 22% in pastureland. Foreign land holdings have increased by an average of 2.2 million acres per year since 2015.
Foreign countries also own $7.4 trillion worth of U.S. national debt, with Japan and China ranked as our two largest foreign holders of our debt.
Corporate and governmental censorship have created digital dictators. While the “Twitter files” revealed the lengths to which the FBI has gone to monitor and censor social media content, the government has been colluding with the tech sector for some time now in order to silence its critics and target “dangerous” speech in the name of fighting so-called disinformation.
The threat of being labelled “disinformation” is being used to undermine anyone who asks questions, challenges the status quo, and engages in critical thinking.
Middle- and lower-income Americans are barely keeping up. Rising costs of housing, food, gas and other necessities are presenting nearly insurmountable hurdles towards financial independence for the majority of households who are scrambling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, mounting layoffs in the tens of thousands are adding to the fiscal pain.
The government is attempting to weaponize mental health care. Increasingly, in communities across the nation, police are being empowered to forcibly detain individuals they believe might be mentally ill, even if they pose no danger to others.
While these programs are ostensibly aimed at getting the homeless off the streets, when combined with the government’s ongoing efforts to predict who might pose a threat to public safety based on mental health sensor data (tracked by wearable data and monitored by government agencies such as HARPA), the specter of mental health round-ups begins to sound less far-fetched.
The military’s global occupation is spreading our resources thin and endangering us at home. America’s war spending and commitment to policing the rest of the world are bankrupting the nation and spreading our troops dangerously thin. In 2022 alone, the U.S. approved more than $50 billion in aid for Ukraine, half of which went towards military spending, with more on the way. The U.S. also maintains some 750 military bases in 80 countries around the world.
Deepfakes, AI and virtual reality are blurring the line between reality and a computer-generated illusion. Powered by AI software, deepfake audio and video move us into an age where it is almost impossible to discern what is real, especially as it relates to truth and disinformation.
At the same time, the technology sector continues to use virtual reality to develop a digital universe—the metaverse—that is envisioned as being the next step in our evolutionary transformation from a human-driven society to a technological one.
Advances in technology are outstripping our ability to protect ourselves from its menacing side, both in times of rights, humanity and workforce. In the absence of constitutional protections in place to guard against encroachments on our rights in the electronic realm, we desperately need an Electronic Bill of Rights that protects “we the people” from predatory surveillance and data-mining business practices.
The courts have aligned themselves with the police state. In one ruling after another, the courts have used the doctrine of qualified immunity to shield police officers from accountability for misconduct, tacitly giving them a green light to act as judge, jury and executioner on the populace.
All the while, police violence, the result of training that emphasizes brute force over constitutional restraints, continues to endanger the public.
The nation’s dependence on foreign imports has fueled a $1 trillion trade deficit. While analysts have pointed to the burgeoning trade deficit as a sign that the U.S. economy is growing, it underscores the extent to which very little is actually made in America anymore.
World governments, including the U.S., continue to use national crises such as COVID-19 to expand their emergency powers. None are willing to relinquish these powers when the crisis passes. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, the U.S. government still has 42 declared national emergencies in effect, allowing it to sidestep constitutional protocols that maintain a system of checks and balances. For instance, the emergency declared after the 9/11 has yet to be withdrawn.
The nation’s infrastructure is rapidly falling apart. Many of the country’s roads, bridges, airports, dams, levees and water systems are woefully outdated and in dire need of overhauling, and have fallen behind that of other developed countries in recent years.
The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that crumbling infrastructure costs every American household $3,300 in hidden costs a year due to lost time, increased fuel consumption while sitting in traffic jams, and extra car repairs due to poor road conditions.
The nation is about to hit a healthcare crisis. Despite the fact that the U.S. spends more on health care than any other high-income country, it has the worst health outcomes than its peer nations. Experts are also predicting a collapse in the U.S. health care system as the medical community deals with growing staff shortages and shuttered facilities.
These are just a small sampling of the many looming problems that threaten to overwhelm us in the near future.
Thus far, Americans seem inclined to just switch the channel, tune out what they don’t want to hear, and tune into their own personal echo chambers.
Yet as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, no amount of escapism can shield us from the harsh reality that the danger in our midst is posed by an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution, Congress, the courts or the citizenry.

The Pain of Listening To Twitter Censorship Testimony
The Americans used to be good – especially in the 1970’s…In my expereince first job in 1972 – they worked really hard. They used to turn up at 7:00am , and ask me how it was going on the night shift…They were extremely friendly and I told them everything I knew about the problems overnight. The British Management didn’t get up till 8:00 am – if that…and I was only a teenager,,,
Fastest way to get promoted in a British Compamy, if you are a kid is to have the Americans on Your Side
The Management meeting was at 10:00 am. I might have been on 45% shift allowance but I had already done 13 hours…
I am like a little snotty kid, obviously dressed by my mum, with nhs specs, and I just want to go home and get some sleep
The American Project Manager gets me a very strong cup of coffee -two sugars please and fresh milk…and says come to the management meeting..Tell them what you just told me – about all the problems…
So I am almost like this kid in Kes – but it was in Manchester so they weren’t suprised. They did give me the job at the third attempt I was turned down twice, but improved mty score on the IQ tests, but more importantly my interview techniques – just be really enthusiastic, and ask questions back..Do I really want to work for this company when they are interviewing me for the third time..YES
I was only 19 after a year at university studying Pure Physics and Maths

My school was very like this.
Best education, I could have wished for
We had both boys and girls.
OK – I got old – but I am still here – and got a date.
My wife and a friend is coming too.
She has had Pneumonia – just got out of hospital
We are Like Family. She is Our Friend
She wants to come camping with us in May
She is very Spanish, and totally lovely – all the emotions and everything
She calls me bro. I call her sis
I have got to get fit
I reckon the girls have been talking together

Yes indeed, distract, divide and conquer!!!
Who has been doing this to you and to other nations?
The jewish lobbies spread across the world; it was their ‘diaspora’ in the world that gave birth to the concept of “Embassies”… and they are the only people on earth wanting to establish a global dictatorship; this is what they have stated, it’s not ‘my opinion’ or ‘what I think’.
If most people understood this historical reality, many things could be changed, but because most people attack the tentacles of the evil octopus and not its head, nothing ever will change!!!
Guys, it’s true that knowledge is power; if most people haven’t got the appropriate knowledge of what’s going on in our world, then who gets on top? 😉
As Gil Scott-Heron said in B Movie, “So much for the good news…”

Partial quote from the close of the article: ‘no amount of escapism can shield us from the harsh reality that the danger in our midst is posed by an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution, Congress, the courts or the citizenry.’
The “government” isn’t entrenched around anything but hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at some swishy restaurant or night club. The enemy is our “military” establishment. Let’s hand them a hand grenade with the pin pulled out, next time they’re home on leave.
The quote is spot on. The danger is not in “government”, that is, in the people of flesh and blood in positions of power; it is indeed in “government bureaucracy”, that is, in the impersonal State. I’d add that bureaucracy has also infested the Congress and the courts everywhere; perhaps it hadn’t at the time of the quote, it sure has now.

Question about divide and conquer: Is the war in Ukraine and the sanctions against many countries about independent sovereignty allocated to each nation or is it about blocking non-conforming nations and their productive contributions from being able to access the global economy (denied access to world global markets) unless permitted to do so? Oligarchs love monopoly power and hate competition. Sanctions, controlled information, monopolized information, rat holed technology and military aggression are tools of aggression which civilized societies should not allow. Imperialism (invasive access to resources or denying those with competitive goods and services access to global markets) are not compatible with to a peaceful world.
Humanity born in one nation should not be pitted against the humanity born in one nation against the people in other nations. Hate between people should not be promoted by one nation against the people of other nations. Wars and sanctions should not be used to support a “no one but me is allowed to compete in global market” ideologies?
Doing business by hiding and distributing intent in a maze of Non Human Organizations (NHO) should not be allowed. Establishing and maintaining control over information have become the means by which the needs and wants of private for profit organizations and special interest fulfill their wildest dreams. Fake choreographed ideologies should not be the “modus operandi” of mainstream propaganda? Sanctions and hot wars should not be used to deny and block competitors? Dissenting views should not be allowed to be blocked out of the privately owned MSM supported by advertising? Viewer access to information should not be gated (controlled)? Fake narratives supported by corrupt expert sources should be exposed when they are integrated into news, histories, textbooks, videos, and the reporting of current events? That sovereign leaders of nation after nation have been made out to be bogey-man threats in order to hide external imperialistic oligarch greed designed to destroy the national interest the bogey man protects. color revolutions, regime change, etc.
There is no such thing as misinformation? Information control is the threat; mis-information is the fabricated ideology that is used to separate people into various “hate or cannot be trusted” groups. “Different information about the same thing” is selectively presented to different nations in order to foster hate and to establish distrust between the people who populate the different nations in the nation state system.
Experience has shown the massive information control system (maintained by the MSM) has been of benefit to no none but the private-for-profit and special interest groups and oligarchs that own or control the non human organizations (NHOs)? Invented ideologically based narratives (terrorism or whatever) promote hate and distrust in order to prevent the populations of the world to find ways to get along with each other (divide and conquer). Ideologies that promote cooperative global improvement of the quality of human life on this planet are strictly forbidden.
The governed people of the world understand they must work together to make industrial and technical known-how and to distribute in ways that work to benefit mankind, but those in charge of the nation state plot to spend trillions and to engage war and other diversions which help their oligarchs successfully rape the populations governed by the nation state system. The nation state system is not human, its a method to control the behavior, expectation, and beliefs of all of humanity for the benefit of but a few. Competition against a oligarch interest is not allowed, information and knowledge sharing are not allowed.
A comment posted to another site asked “when will ballon hysteria end”? The comment rumors the earth quake might be a consequence of Turkey’s refusal to admit Sweden and Finland into NATO and presents evidence with explanations to support the assertion. I summarized the comment here for you to decide are we dealing with a false flag and denial of the truth on par with 9/11 or are we dealing with a coincidence of evidence that gives a false positive? It is questions like this MSM should be used for.
From the other site’s comment, A picture, supposedly released by China, is said to show the Turkey earthquake area to have three (x3) circular debris fields here1 ? (explanation asserts “earthquakes d/n make circular debris fields); earthquakes create linear shaped fault lines?
Other site’s Commenter asserts Underground nuclear detonations produce circular debris fields. ”
Next image in the comment supposedly shows circular fields formed from a test site where nuclear detonations were used to generate earthquakes here2 .Next image supposedly shows the point of origin of the recent earthquake in Turkey here3 and last image supposedly shows a radiation map of the earthquake area in Turkey here4 .
Assertions that reveal evidence designed to support narratives that reach to 9/11 scope, type and character need to be investigated without raising alarm to panic levels. Silence is golden if you are an Oligarch in control of the non human organizations [NHOs] that control the behavior of the humans incarcerated in the 256 member nation state system.
There have always been rather a lot of earthquakes in that region
I do not disagree with your observation, but you miss the point? Someone has presented evidence that has challenged narratives that all earthquakes are a result of natural causes? Dismissal seems insufficient in the face of evidence to the contrary? Do you have any problem with the evidence presented? Its the evidence somehow wrong? Can others confirm the evidence? Do the spots on the ground exist? Can the elevated radiation be explained?
The question raised by the evidence presented[ its not my evidence], I have no dog in this race except to find the truth.
Ron Unz.com is discussing discounted-objections to MSM misleading narratives [Covid 19 and other irregularities experienced with Main stream meda, as well as Seymour Hersh’s recent narrative which details who and how Nord Stream I and II, the Russian pipeline from Russia to Germany, was destroyed). here or at https://www.unz.com/runz/standing-upright-amid-a-sea-of-lies/
The comment made just below by Red Rocket suggests that the technology to cause earthquakes may exist <=something I did not know until now If the technology exist, it would seem the data about the causes of all earthquakes should be taken seriously. Maybe the data is a complete fabrication I think the truth needs to be discovered.

Did NYC Police torch their own vehicle?
Jun 4, 2020
Raw footage by Lincoln Karim
Of course they torched their own vehicle. The fire spread too quickly for a simple electrical fire, and the police did nothing to extinguish the fire when first discovered. Reminds me of the “mostly peaceful” demonstrations of 2020…
The whole thing looked staged.
“no amount of escapism can shield us from the harsh reality that the danger in our midst is posed by an entrenched government bureaucracy that has no regard for the Constitution, Congress, the courts or the citizenry”.
I would respectfully suggest it it the psychopaths controlling said government who are the problem. The invisible hand anyone?
The banksters, the old bloodlines, possibly alien presence or their descendants.
And the other part of the problem is us – who vote for the psychopaths. By “us” I mean the majority, i.e. the unaware people.
There is NO GREATER distraction than the one that OFF-G provides…
So why are you still hanging around Voz? Go and distract yourself somewhere else.
Some time ago, when the MSM was pondering why Russia should have blown up its own pipeline in Danish waters, I suggested that the explosion was caused by Uncle $cam with the help of the Little Mermaid from Copenhagen. Now that veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has uncovered the truth, I note that my guess was 90% right. True, the Culprit in Chief was Uncle $cam, but his Scandiwegian helper was the Little Troll from Oslo.

What worries Alexander Mercouris (at 1.00 hour on his video below) is that none of the MSM (by the time of his video) had even reported this remarkable piece honest old fashioned investigative journalism, let alone commented. Mercouris says he expected MSM comments, whether favorable or hostile; but he is really worried by the dead silence, as though this atrocity had not happened: The Cancel Culture.

Curious that the object “shot down” over Canada is not being spun as a Chinese balloon.
CNN: “It’s beginning to look a lot like aliens…”
Those jets were scrambled before you can say ‘Project Bluebeam’ (unlike on 9/11).
A signal of their desperation? They’ve given themselves until 2026 to “prove” alien intelligence so it isn’t a lunacy they are likely to retreat from in the next few years.
Also, notice how it’s being described as an Unidentified Flying Object. The world’s most advanced air force and air defence network can easily identify anything flying, unless… Smells like psyop bs, again
The cheapest way for a plane to bribg down the baloon would be darts.
I don’t think any ‘alien craft’ has ever been shot down yet. And yes I know about Roswell and all the mountain of unverified speculation around that.
I always suspect that UFO/UAP manifestations are simply modern variations of traditional poltergeists, tarted up in ‘space-craft’ mockup form, for modern manifesting-audiences marinated in startrekkytechietechie dreams; an effortless task for our paranormal faculty. For earlier generations of manifesters, they were goblins, imps and so on; the stuff in which they were marinated. Plus ca change…
So it wouldn’t be any surprise that no wreckage of the authentic objects has ever been found. We – hom-sap – don’t get to command and control the paranormal faculty within all of us that easily.
Any wreckage that is found seems pretty certain to be something unsurprising, like weather balloons. Don’t forget that we plebs have literally zero idea of what any of these – alleged – things really were. We have only the say-so of the media of the Permanent Bullshit Blizzard – aka the ‘news’ – to go on. And we all trust them, don’t we?
A re-run of the movie Independence Day? Watch out for alien reptiles.

97% of Rockefeller-funded scientists agree.
Not all is false that’s published by Rockefeller-funded scientists. Use your judgment.
“Not all is false that’s taught in public schools”.
No, it’s all false.
No it’s effing not! Get real.
I believe that’s one of the MSM’s falsies.
I think I’d look more at magnetic issues than climate where earthquakes are concerned.
They’re Pulls Apart. 🙄
I’d like to know more about the speaker and the forum in which she’s speaking – but this appears to contain some good information on vaccine contracts:
https://odysee.com/@sageofquay:0/Sasha-Latypova—COVID-19-countermeasures-Evidence-of-the-intent-to-harm:4
Ive watched quite a few of her interviews on various sites in US – if accurate or even part accurate, quite shocking stuff. The other is Karen Kingston who has dug up alot of related stuff. If readers are not aware if this research, probably the interviews will come up on name searches. Of course the other seemingly impressive individual on patents/contracts is Dr David Martin.
She worked for several years in Big Pharma so she knows what ethical drug development should look like, ditto Good Manufacturing Practice where drugs/vaccines are concerned.

Drugs has a political sigma attached, perhaps medications would be more socially apt, just saying from an everyday person.
Thx
I hope Thailand comes through with declaring their contracts with Pfizwer et al null and void. I also hope that the Swiss PM will be successfully sued or, better, prosecuted and imprisoned; there are current moves to do so. These two examples could tip the dominos for the rest of the world.
The crowning set in motion the further destruction, as a pre-planned result we are losing or have lost trust in most of the systems that govern over our lives. trust in government, academia, medicine, police, voting, science, spirituality, even language, that is begging for a solution. Its the subversion of these systems that is at fault. We need to understand this, otherwise the final solution will be much much worse.
Right. The Micke Mouse Occidental Empire is inevitably going down the tubes like other empires did in the past.
It’s time to brace yourself and find a nice place in the hills to run to. Or a faraway deserted island, preferably populated by a large community of luscious native girls.

Probably off topic. Dan Andrews and the upper house in Victoria, Australia passed a bill in parliament at the beginning of 2021. It seems to be a forgotten topic down under.
The bill basically means he/or can call a pandemic anytime they seem fit.
Its humbly called the tailor made pandemic law.
Lets never forget the shit these pricks have used going forward in our ordinary lives.
Thanks OffG and happy birthday.

That’s just in the US run by Ancient Aliens the Truth is in Thier..what ifsss..as ancient theo-loanians propose…We are not A Loan. We have never been A loan..
Fair enough.
Most Americans are actively looking for distractions to take their eyes and minds off of their rapidly declining standard of living and the disruptive and unnerving social dissolution we are experiencing. Most are unable or unwilling to see through the propaganda and lies the media and governments constantly feed us as the misery index of depression, suicides, drug addiction and hopelessness rises and a general pall of nihilism hovers over America.
Pretending not know what we know or avoiding confronting our reality is not the solution.
“Pretending to not know what we know or avoiding confronting our reality is not the solution.”
Which is why Alexander Mercouris is so worried about the MSM pretending to not know about Uncle $cam and his little Norwegian sikekick blowing up Russian gaspipe Nord Stream 2 to force Europe to buy Uncle $cam’s $rip-off bottled gas.
Cancel Culture, ie ignoring reality, is self destructive. Alex Mercouris at 1.00 hour:
Has the MSM ever reported ANYTHING which is detrimental to the interests of their paymasters ?
Mental health care has been weaponised since King Ludwig II of Bavaria was declared insane in 1886.
Ludwig was sane enough to fund Bayreuth, thus providing generations of opera lovers with innocent amusement in idyllic surroundings. Before Wagner received that generous offer and “rushed off with joy in my heart to My King”, the composer was “a man at the end of his tether”.
Most Americans are like the proverbial boiling frogs, busily staring at their hand held computer phones all day long while the water gets hotter and hotter, not only not noticing but greeting each rise in temperature with complete acceptance. Finding those that understand the problem and speak out is like finding an honest politician in Congress.
Just like about everyone else because after all, Amerika is everyone else, whether they like it or not.
Yes and even “climate change” has been incorporated to indoctrinate the masses to give up x,y,z.
I propose “gravity” as the next scare scam. You should weight below 49 kg only, otherwise you are witch (or wizard or wozzz – fluid gender neutrality now!).
That or aliens I suppose. The New World Order needs the aliens from outer space. That’s the end game to total subservience.
You will own nothing and be happy is and has been quite possibly the United States since 1998 as a suggestion. Apart from Christmas day and New Years Day, as an observation in Corporate bodies within Major Corporations that has in effect no Holiday period the Public are generally aware of.
Who are your Public? Well, you are when you are in a Social Environment.
God Blimey, will you at least eccept The USA is collective body of States on the North American Continent.
How is that different from the whole of the European Continent well it’s a huge difference, as you’ll appreciate.
“complete acceptance” raises the question what is it that is being accepted? Is it the authority to demand, police, and command obedience or it is access to insufficient information to be able to develop an independent personal opinion about what to do or how to do it or is it something else?
I suggest acceptance means humanity [like rats in a cage] has been trained to accept hierarchically arranged virtual authority as superior to human sovereignty. Virtual Reality is a creation of media, it is a facade, designed to facilitate the needs and wants of the Oligarch. The Oligarch oversee the operations of the NHOs [Non Human Organizations: governments, NGOs, and privately owned corporations]. Oligarch intentions are expressed in the form of virtual reality.
Collectively NHOs own and control all monopoly powers. Leadership is an abstraction of monopoly power. Keep in mind all monopoly power is distributed within and between the virtual NHO system. Few Governments have sufficient monopoly power left to control and regulate the daughter and son NHOs the government themselves created. The daughter and son NHOs now possess more monopoly power than the governments that gave birth to the daughter and son NHO. When government gives up one of its monopoly powers, the governed masses loose both access to information as to how the monopoly power is being managed and they give up their right to vote on how that monopoly power is being used or managed. (Consider the MSM, the MIC and the energy empire, and so on) .
Mass acceptance of leadership is not a natural human condition, instead it is a product of the culture, training and upbringing of victim humans trapped within the political system (256 member nations of the nation state system). Each nation state can be considered a socializing and training crucible. The crucible in-breeds subservience to NHO derived leadership , habituates human behaviors, and indoctrinates that NHO authority super-cedes human thought.
Every person born is taught and expected ” to follow the NHO leader. Everyone should give way to virtual authority (from birth to death), teacher, employer, corporation, government, international. Authority to lead comes to the leader by inductive processes derived from the abstracted NHO. NHO Leaders are human but depend on the masses to recognize the leaders authority because the leader is an expression of a oligarch controlled or owned NHO. The non human organization [NHO]) was discussed in the link https://off-guardian.org/2023/02/11/follow-the-leader/.
The NHO is a virtual proxy standing-in for the human Oligarch. The NHO abstracts the management of the monopoly power <=owned and controlled by the Oligarch.
.
I don’t know, you look at some quotes from Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, etc., back in the way back day and seems to me humans have been humans since humans began. Maybe we just aren’t as smart as we think we are. Say, like compared to gorillas, or worms.
One way or another, it’s always been the same thing. We can try to blame it on all sorts of shit, psychoanalyze it up one side and down another, but in the end we’re just another level up in the chain. Maybe that’s what we need to admit, so we don’t keep falling for the bullshit from these fucking psychos a level above the gorilla.
I see it as political realisation platform incorporating an idealist financial default conservation. Incorporating two World Banks, Central & Asia China and a Vault under the carpet BIS. V for Victory in Europe!
It was and still is imo, an advantage with a public perception of wants over needs depending on, whether you stay put, or leave on a journey.
If one is to stay put then You have an obligation to the community that you didn’t bluid our ancestors of Men & Women engineering it, going back in History over almost a thousand years of European Continental illiteracy. We bluit it, Europeans.
And we still are while some appear to believe we all speak English British European Guys & Dolls.
It is an utterly ridiculous assumption. Financial institutions may converse as if we are all in it together., they may well be but People, don’t be stupilfiling mutant robotic., that’s a media propaganda drama show.
“complete acceptance”
US vaccination rates say otherwise. More Americans have a bit of a clue than Western Europeans or Canadians/Australians/NZers – but the latter have been programmed for decades to view the former with contempt, regardless of evidence. It’s not the 1980s anymore.
Are you saying less than most people in the US have been vaccinated? I think it’s well more than most, which is basically more than half. But I’m thinking about much more than that, like taking off shoes at airports, like wearing seatbelts because its a law, like thousands of daily things that Americans, and all humans, simply accept without questioning.
Yes but it’s a lower percentage of the population than in any other Western country according to official government stats.
True, however, we in South Africa, have been using this term for Ramaphosa who has been slow boiling us ever since he became the president and he, unfortunately, is not going anywhere soon having appeased the other factions of the ANC and SACP.
Oh, the Americans you are describing are those who think it’s all to global warming or climate change whichever is trending this week! And are Democrats from wealthier families with worthless degrees.
One can look around, that’s still free and free from tax, and see just how bad things are. Only 15% of american’s believe what MSM is telling them. They are also becoming more aware of what their MSM isn’t telling them.
The difference between day-to-day living and that portrayed by MSM, and here in Blighty, braindead bbc broadcasts, is becoming more obvious.
The NWO are hellbent on their ELE which they think they can control. In the meantime their flunkies are out telling everyone that the planet is going die because of too much CO2. We are truly in amateur hour, or the last few seconds of it anyway.
I’m intrigued to see what the NWO do about mother nature, who seems intent on cooling things down a while. When the cooling becomes very obvious, as is to many, the priest will appear and blame the sun for being non binary and so free of any consequences.
When earth’s cooling becomes obvious, the NWO underlings will claim that their restrictive climate change policies have worked.
They are very tricky.
You omitted the other ‘D’ John.
Dumbdown.
Your alternative update on #COVID19 for 2023-02-11. Twitter 4: internet custodians, online sanitation, dangerous speech – hubris. Also, Obama. HIV up 500% (blog, gab, tweet).
Excellent article.
Woe is us.
I was born and spent half my life living in England so am in a much better position to comprehend what’s going on in the US. The underlying processes and forces are exactly the same but the layer of American Exceptionalism that surrounds everything tends to color everyone’s perceptions and so make it difficult to see what’s behind the curtain. (To be exact, if I had been born 100 years prior to when I was then I’d have grown up with “British Exceptionalism”, the idea that Britain was the center of all civilization on the planet. I grew up in a time when there were still echoes of this but the notion was really in free fall.) Anyway, stripping away all the noise what you have is the generic class system and the conflict between capital and labor, the things that Marx wrote about at length based on his English experience.
Here were have to be careful to describe exactly what we mean because terms like ‘Marx’ and “Marxist” have long been made words to describe abuse and associated with oppression, brutality and other negative things. Marx predated modern revolutionaries — he’s like Adam Smith, primarily a social economist who could comment on society but really lacked any understanding of what to do to improve it beyond vague generalizations. This deliberate muddying of the water by contemporary propagandists prevents people from perceiving their world in simple terms, forcing the to come up with elaborate and increasingly tenuous theories to describe the obvious. Fundamental to understanding what’s going on and why is the notion that capital is stateless — it owes no fealty, it expects (no, demands) to be free to roam the surface of the Earth seeking optimal returns regardless of the social consequences. Most people lack capital, the might have savings but they exist to work to feed the system. They want to get the best — highest — price for their labor but those that resell it want to also to get their best — lowest — price for that labor. This explains just about everything — but notice that it doesn’t say how to fix this to be fairer for all, in fact attempts to make the system fair and stable (e.g Post Great Depression / WW2) were torn down as unnecessarily constraining finance and profit.
One thing is certain, though. Appealing to a sense of fairness or making some kind of law decreeing that distribution is to be more equitable just isn’t going to work. Capital has all the money in the world (it wages war against any bits it doesn’t control), it has all the time and can afford the very best propagandists to convince everyone that their way is not just the right way, its the only way. The only thing that pushes back is this notion nagging ordinary people that something doesn’t quite add up, things just don’t make sense. The classic counter for this is Fairy Dust — throwing in some social division, manufactured controversey. Even that’s wearing a bit thin. Who knows what’s next?

Historically, that has led to even worse atrocities.
Your talking from a perceptive of pre 1971 omitting the financial metrics in the City of London Town.
1901 is but a date societies movement is ever changing circumstances. I understand Martin but personally would’nt get hung up over Americanisms. Funny enough for consideration I was recently talking to an American who off topic said ” take me back to the 60’s any day…”
Thx
It’s not only about classes. I think Marx mentioned something called “the concentration of capital” and it means that the powerful play a game of musical chairs. As anybody knows who has ever played that game, it gets pretty nasty towards the end.
“The only thing that pushes back [against Capitalism] is ordinary people.
Starting with humble rabbi Yeshua in Galilee — the much-ridiculed “provincial” North of the petty kingdom of Judea, which was itself “that provincial hole” governed by Pontius Pilate in the Roman province of Syria:
“It is easier to thread a cable through the eye of a needle than to for a rich man to push himself through the gates of The Kingdom of Heaven”.
Roman fascista towards the end of the 18 hundreds led to horrendous losses during the Great War Period morphed over their conflict with Libya, that politically continued for decades. A quick mention should be made of lower rank a file Italian soldiers being abandoned having to make their own way home receiving virtually little help., which boasted the rise of Mussolini’s Fascist ranks and senior officer class.
John’s article accurately reflects the US as it is currently experiencing its ‘Pluto Return’. This planet’s orbit takes 248 years, and its effect is slow, deep, intense and utterly transformative. For the US, Pluto’s transit returned to its natal position (i.e. where it was on the ‘birth’ of the US in 1776), around late 2019 and ends around 2025.
‘Since the US natal Pluto resides near the end of Capricorn in the 2nd House of Needs and Personal Resources, Americans have been feeling and will continue to feel the transformative power of Pluto’s transit in their homes and personal finances. While larger institutions are being shaken up, individuals and communities already aware of the rumblings of this transit can take actions to help themselves get through this major transit positively by working diligently to amass savings and build healthy interpersonal networks.
There is a storm coming, and Pluto usually changes and transforms in fundamental ways that eventually open the door for new opportunities.
Since the Pluto return is going to take place in the sign associated with large institutions and the structures that support American society, Americans can expect a recession, possibly a depression as an economic corrective measure in response to debt, as Pluto’s transit attempts to clean up any messes created in the last 247 years of US growth and development.
In much of the rhetoric thrown around about the current state of affairs, it is not far off to say that there is a battle for the “soul” of this country being waged that has its citizens thinking about and questioning the founding principles that were created when the official nation was born in 1776. Like a very powerful earthquake shaking a major city, this transit will show us what societal structures have become weak and must fall down, which ones will still be standing, and what new ones need to be built from the rubble of the old.’
Obscurantist nonsense.
Keep an open mind. Remember, we have been told so many lies. Question everything is my suggestion.
On the average, there are about 39 AUs between Pluto and the Earth.
Pluto has no affect on terrestrial events.
“effect”, not “affect”.
Bloody effects of old age.
We are made of stardust Kizabi, but that’s as much as our limited minds can comprehend.
Says one bigot who – obviously – hasn’t the least idea of what s/he is talking about. May Hem would wipe the floor with you if you ever got into a face-to-face argument about the – highly demonstrable – facts about astrology.
If you ever get to the point where you can actually look into the matter on which you choose to bloviate, Kizabi, start with the saga of Michel Gauquelin. He – like you – was certain to begin with that he ‘knew’ that it was all nonsense; and then he actually looked into it…
Try following his example.
The only astronomical bodies that have any substantial effects on the Earth and its life are, in this order:
The sun – through radiation and gravity.
The moon – through gravity.
Cosmic rays – when they slam into the atmosphere they decay and create a shower of particles that may contribute to cloud formation and rain
Asteroids and comets – when they slam into us on an irregular basis, rearranging our dirt.
It may surprise you to note that even all the planets lining up produce a completely negligible effect due to gravity that is grossly overshadowed by the monthly variations due to the moon and sun. Though smaller, the moon is much closer, and gravity being an r-squared force is seriously more powerful from the moon than any planet. The sun, though far away, is immense. The rest of the planets don’t add up to diddly-squat.
All those effects are measurable and the mechanisms are well known… Unlike astrology.

Spare me the name calling and condescension.
You obviously know nothing about astronomy.
I’m afraid Pluto, like “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” will not put America back together again. It’s far too late for that.
How about reading Pluto’s transformative power not as a reformer but as a destroyer, tearing down that which failed to grow.
Pluto’s effect is not to reform. It causes destruction followed by resurrection. Symbolised by the phoenix rising from the ashes.
Since Pluto was discovered in 1930 nobody has had yet the chance to compare historical events on the basis of Pluto’s advance on its orbit.
An ephemeris and/or computer program will give the precise position of Pluto over many years prior to 1930.
Pluto entered the constellation of Capricorn in 2008 (remember what happened then?). It will enter the constellation of Aquarius on the 23rd March this year (24th here in Australia) using the Tropical zodiac.
Then why not simply demonstrate correlations between Pluto’s position and significant events on Earth going back ‘many years’?
There is already much material and research on this topic. Suggest you explore it for yourself Sifi. Its fascinating.

Planet Biden and his handlers are the issue.
We have had huge inflation for at least 2 decades.. housing costs skyrocketed along with healthcare and higher education.
but most people thought rising real estate is good, cause “investment” equity…
But it’s just a ponzi scheme where the early entries make the profits and the rest of us pay pay and don’t forget that wages have not risen since 1980, adjusted for inflation, despite productivity having had increased…
Free market or not, it doesn’t matter… Wealth concentrates in the hands of those who can afford to invest and this time they bought up commodities cause real estate is iffy.
Oh man 1980’s unemployment.
Average male incomes have been stagnant or declining for decades. Households covered the loss by women working more – which placed more of the raising of children in the hands of the state as was intended. It also meant they could tax two incomes.

There are three General Jurisdictions — air, land and sea.
The air jurisdiction stands above the land and the land above the water, both physically and metaphorically; as a result, the air jurisdiction courts stand above the land jurisdiction courts and the sea jurisdiction courts are last, representing the bottom of the stack.
Once you have this firmly in mind and understand the logic of it, it is much easier to understand jurisdiction and also the ranking of the courts.
There are two “practical” subdivisions within each General Jurisdiction and one “sacred” subdivision in each for a total of nine (9) subdivisions.
The practical or “practicum” subdivisions
Also worth noting that the US Navy is actually owned by Britain. See details of the treaties which resulted in this conflict of interest by both countries.
