In Bovine Fields the Poppies Blow

Sylvia Shawcross

In the ghastly world where the mooing herds furiously and fulsomely flatulate in the forever future fields of Blackrock the murmurs of discontent are rippling and snippling and whippling at the breakfast trough.

Although well aware of their role of “do and die and not to question why” some rogue bovines are unsettling the herds with their speculations. In fact, although tempted to label as such, they’re not really rebels and rogues (who have already headed for the forests long ago), but are ones just slightly ahead of the remaining mooing herds in seeing things.

Because it’s “their” turn now, right?

That’s the whole thing about the agenda They have planned. Whoever They are. It’s about division, fear and confusion. And having very successfully created huge divides between political and social bodies, and tormenting one side of the narrative they will do the switch. That’s the fun for Them.

They love this—Them that play such games to find an end that justifies any and all means: and the end is in this case division, fear and confusion. Because this is the state of the world They need in order to introduce their custom-made solutions.

So now, everything They told us will be exposed as false on MSM. It is not a matter of “ohhhh… they’ve been found out….” No. It’s more a matter of, “okay, let’s switch the game now and confuse and torment the other side of the divide.” And everyone who believed Them all along by believing MSM will be in division, fear and confusion just like the people who “couldn’t” believe MSM were before this.

They’re being allowed to know now. Is it because of Twitter and Tucker? Who knows really. Most of us would like to believe it is because of all the hard work and sacrifice people have made to expose the truth. We want to stick with that.

Nevertheless, it “could” be that if we know something, it is certainly because we’re “allowed” to know it now in the MSM. We’re all allowed to be preoccupied with it so by the time reality really sinks in, well… the agenda will be well under way and the fields of Blackrock will grow small and lean for the mooing herds and on Mount Davos, the Gods will be smiling with their caviar and wine in lush and fertile grounds and chuckling in their certitude.

They will have saved the world for themselves and the wine never tasted sweeter and the distant sounds of the mooing herds never more safely far away.

But never mind all that because who the hell really knows! It was just a stray paranoid thought in my peripheral vision that I will now promptly ignore as being ridiculous. Surely it is ridiculous? That would require some feat of cooperation by sociopathic psychopaths and hardly seems credible. Let’s just forget that was even said shall we?

Anyway, the question of the day, in honour of World Woman’s Day just recently passed, is why are we in a nuclear showdown when women are supposedly running the world now? Weren’t They all saying that if only women ran the world it would a loving, peaceful place where nurture and care and compassion and sharing and cooperation and equity would rule? Wasn’t that what we were told? Wasn’t that true? We believed them!

So why are all these powerful women standing up for war? Do you mean to tell me that women might actually not “all” want a loving peaceful world? But that’s our whole belief system!

So why are the children dying in wars around the world? Is it because They are letting these loving peaceful women think they are running the world but in fact the patriarchal military industrial complex and the banksters are actually running the world?

Where were the peacekeepers? Where?!

Why weren’t all our members of parliament standing up and clapping for the peacekeepers instead of the ones who wanted war?

I just want to know why we’re not allowed to know who is running the world? Being citizens of the world it would be a polite thing to let us know. So we can send birthday cards and stuff…I have one all ready for Bill Gates but I’m not sure if I should send it to him or to the chip in his brain. Are they the same thing?

Here’s an earworm:

No wait: This one maybe:

Ms Shawcross – those women who would rule the world are still psychopaths. They want to prove they have bigger balls than make psychos, that’s all.

You won’t save the world replacing males with females in the current system.

You’ll just have ballbreaking men haters trying to justify their corruption instead.

Not women, but feminine energy or spirit. It is quite obvious that peace, love, compassion and so on are not in the genitals, but in spirit.

Here’s the investment opportunity of a lifetime: a catalytic converter for methane. Here’s one process: Strontium titanate combined with rhodium nanoparticles converts methane and carbon dioxide into synthesis gas ( H₂ & CO) under light irradiation at much lower temperatures that those required in thermal reactors like car exhaust muffler systems. The big investment payoff hinges on getting the cow exhaust methane into the catalizer. Ideally, Some kind of wearable device with which the cows feel comfortable. Moo baby, moo.

A moo-ving account.

‘They’ (or ‘them’) are of course, an essential part of the psychological mix. Without ‘them’ there is no ‘we’. ‘We’ – definable as those who fight against ‘them’. 

What would become of ‘we’ if ‘They’ were to disappear completely?

‘We’ would split into ‘We-1’ and ‘We-2’. Infighting would ensue. Battles between those whose doctrines differ marginally. Possessors vs Non-possessors. New believers vs Old Believers … a group needs an external enemy to maintain inner harmony.

Wherein lies the solution to World Peace – the external enemy

(psychos therefore have value)

“where the mooing herds furiously and fulsomely flatulate” There was that word – fulsome. How often do you encounter it, especially while watching your step as you walk amongst the cow pies? [Fulsome – exceeding the bounds of good taste, excessively complimentary or flattering] I recall the first time I encountered it – fulsome, not pies. Quite sure it was the first. At any rate the experience stuck real good. What follows is as true as I can get it and that is what it makes it particularly amusing. This is not a bar joke – where three mismatched characters walk into a bar. But the assortment *is* what makes this memorable. Televangelist Jerry Falwell Sr, Rabbi Kook (the son) and a Japanese fellow whose name escapes me at this moment. All three had their dedicated followers.

It wasn’t like I was thrown away…I had a really good job, my own place, but I was hardly ever there…I left a note for the milkman.. ( I don’t know if you do that in Canada), but the Milkmen even now in England are completely Brilliant.

Here is a simple exercise: Suppose we rank the world population according to a combined index of wealth level and status (degree of influencing policy). We would find “them” all piled up at one end and all of “us” at the other end. The question now is this: Where do we draw the line that separates “us” from “them”? Are Fink’s or Buckley’s (respectively BlackRock’s and Vanguard’s CEOs) undersecretary part of “them” or “us”? Are the teams carrying Gates’, Musk’s, or [fill-in with your favourite psychopath]’s plans on the field part of “them” or “us”? Are the guys at the BIS commission for innovation (if such a commission exists) that, as technicians, think that CBDC makes commercial transactions easy, fast, secure, and even private and also have the capacity to solve some difficulties monetary policy has been having since 2008 such as negative interest rates, part of “them” or “us”?… Read more »

At the end of the day all these people are unimportant in the scheme of things– it is governments that allowed such bad things to happen. That broke the rules, took the bribes, rewrote the laws, gave the opportunities, and in fact, did not represent the people who paid the taxes and voted to be represented. In the so-called free world anyway. Everything else is a moral crisis of our times that each one must answer to at the very least at the end of their lives on their way to their Maker. The solution is democracy run as intended. There will always be the greed and the psychopaths. Governments were responsible to protect and represent their people. They didn’t.

So, you live in Canada, eh?

The main problem with anarchism is, of course, that it doesn’t work. For 2 main reasons:

1. By being intrinsically anti-authority, nobody can ever be put in charge of anything. More-or-less by definition.
Ok, for 10 people, but try scaling up to a few million. Who would mend the roads, empty the bins, stop thieves and murderers running amok?

and secondly

2. It’s vulnerable to more organised systems. Complete uniformity may be an anathema to the thinking mind, but it makes good armies.
Imagine a ragtag bunch of anarchists fighting against an organised Commie army. The anarchists would be wiped out.

I perfectly understand what you’re saying. In fact, no single system works. What you’re saying can be said about democracy too. It only works insofar as you can throw the motherfucker who gets his ass elected into office.
The whole thing is a process, constant interplay among a myriad opposing forces.
So, if there are idiots around who believe in and work toward hierarchy, there need to be idiots – like me – who believe in and work toward anarchy. Hopefully, the opposing forces will keep the whole circus in a certain equilibrium.
Anyway, there is too much of that “democracy is the best of bad governmental systems” bullshit propaganda in people’s heads, so I’m just rocking to boat a bit and asking people to thing out of the box (fuck, I hate the out-of-the-box expression …)

You’re semantically confused in that you’ve fallen for the definition of anarchy as chaos, propagated by the very pricks who want you to believe that hierarchy is the only way, that it’s somehow the inherent human nature. There is nothing chaotic about anarchy – it’s a self-organizing horizontal arrangement, as opposed to vertical top-down governance. Any truly free persons must aspire for anarchy, i.e. the absence of some motherfucker who stands above him. Invoking ants, baboons, parsnips, and anything else is the fallacy of false analogy.

Simply looking at how most people responded to draconian covid rules even after so much of it was proven ridiculous tells you all you need to know about if people need/want to be governed. I just finished watching a few snippets of the Canadian National Citizens Inquiry on Canada’s covid response. After the trucker’s protest, Canada appears to be going the legal route, the Netherlands is going with a political party and the French are out on the streets in millions. We shall see which is the best strategy for what is wanted soon enough.

Yes, it would be a gargantuan task to unbrainwash people from their conviction that hierarchy is the only way, but why not try? People have undertaken seemingly unachievable tasks before and they succeeded.

without some serious soul searching,

positive anarchy just won’t work given the current state/culture of the west.

Maybe people who are yapping about democracy should think about the export thereof to places like Iraq. Some democracy, eh?

Well, the “democracy” we have in the Occident is more civilized, but subjugates people all the same. Only they’ve been brainwashed over centuries into an oblivious state of not being able to imagine anything beyond this democracy horseshit. It’s not unlike faith in god.

Agreed. But isn’t it only once we’ve glimpsed freedom somewhere in our own lives that we can “imagine” another life?

That’s why all dictatorship and other oppressive cultures always target the children. Currently, the children are being brainwashed and fully mRNAed in order for future generations never to be able to glimpse a life off the reservation.

Ideas and driving ideologies, rather than wealth per se are what separate, I would say.

‘Influence’ is an ambiguous term. The spread of ideas? The spread of ideas is often inversely related to wealth. A ‘persecuted’ idea often spreads most rapidly

Undoubtedly though, wealth brings with it greater power to wreak havoc on people’s lives or to benefit them. There’s certainly a separation there

I’m too stupid to understand this text in its entirety, or possibly too lazy to try to get into the author’s head. Nonetheless, in skimming the text, the following caught my attention: So why are all these powerful women standing up for war? Do you mean to tell me that women might actually not “all” want a loving peaceful world? But that’s our whole belief system! First, I don’t know whether women stand up for war or want a peaceful world, but I do know that women are generally way tougher than the random guy, despite the physical makeup of the too sexes being the opposite (I’m now discounting all the x-number of genders, including, without limitation, transmothefuckers, old-fashioned faggots, and all the rest of them queer idiots). Maybe it’s because the female has to take care of the offspring and make sure that they survive and prosper, whereas the… Read more »

Poppies waft, in the exhaled burps of cows. And it is beautiful.

This can only be portrayed as an existential threat to people who have been droned to believe that meat comes in packets, safe, secure, sanitised and separated from actual life.

In Georgia meat is a treat. It’s not cheap. Please excuse a personal tale.

I cannot have an open barbcue because I am ruled by cats. My personal rescue, but it comes at a cost.

So I bought for $30 a Tonar Two-Tiered Smoker… a stainless steel box with two racks and a lid that sits on my hob, filled with wood chips.

This beats the ban on wood fires and gas, and give you a BBQ equivalent that does better: by trapping the humidity the meat stays moist.

And the cats have to wait to be fed.

I’m so fucking tired of it. They are bad, but we are good. They cause the problem, we are the victims. And of course not only here but everywhere. Good and bad depends on which side you are. It is as subjective as it can be and has no value at all.
So why holding on to this childish attitude which has never sold any problem in the world since the beginning of history. Maybe it is something in our genes not possible to overcome but time’s running out fast.
I always found that rapprochement and seeing the other in oneself, empathy, instead of polarisation and divide is the way to solve any apparent problem.
But will that ever happen?

Good and bad are very very easy to distinguish. An action calculated to harm another in order to gain something is bad. What possible rapprochement is there with this?

For that matter, even an action calculated to gain something which necessarily harms another is also bad.

Torture of any degree is bad. It isn’t possible to empathize with a torturer – I would go so far as to say it’s evil to do so.

I’m with the OP. In real life, that is under the prevailing social organisaztion and economic conditions, it is not always easy to distinguish good and evil regarding decisions that nevertheless are far reaching. Imagine a politician facing the following dilemma: He/she is to vote for a project that creates 50,000 jobs but at the same time has to close down a family business of 20 people which have to be reconverted somewhere else as yet unspecified.

Would you vote for or against? Is the project “good” or “bad”? Note that an abstention affects the project just like a yes or a no.

Howard

Mar 18, 2023 2:20 AM

That’s actually an easy call: it’s a great big honking NO! to that project.

Nothing good comes from destruction. To destroy (in this case) a family business in order to create (in this case) 50,000 jobs will begin a chain reaction which will end in everyone’s ruin.

I don’t think what happens in the debates regarding political, economic or social matters reduces to expressing the kind of static intellectual beliefs one forms by simple logic only, away from the multidimensional reality of things. One discovers through the examination of what is happening with its context, and through the confrontation of one’s position with other points of view regarding what is happening other elements that escaped notice and have to be factored in. One’s position is not defeated, it is enriched. Why things seem so complicated to sort out or decide upon in reality when it is so easy to do so intellectually? This is a constant complaint, isn’t it? So in the project above, what shall happen after the debate is that some would vote against, some would vote for and the rest would abstain but I’m sure no one would be 100% sure that they did… Read more »

I feel your frustration Tambi. I understand completely what you’re saying and would like to be there again myself but i understand now there are psychopaths in this world and there is no empathy or rapprochement that can be involved sometimes. Sometimes we have to accept there is evil in the world that can wreak havoc on the kindly and the compassionate and the empathetic. All moral avenues must always be tried of course. But a divide such as we’re seeing right now doesn’t usually get bridged. IMHO. I hope to be proven wrong and you are right.

First you beat the psychos to their knees, broken and begging for quarter – doing whatever it takes to bring them to this state of complete disempowerment. Then, at trial and sentencing, you stick unbendingly to mercy. Certainly, convict the guilty without wavering, but sentence them only to substantial periods of amends-making public-service-brigade work; and to a confiscatory reduction of their personal wealth to the global average. That’s the way practical good-versus-evil morality has to be done in this society, brimming as it is with criminal psychopaths in too many positions of power. The pressure cooker isn’t quite up to full pressure for such corrective outbursts yet though. Times still have to get a good bit more Interesting, especially for we of the shiftless-because-still-comfortable Pampered Twenty Percent.

But we forgive “somebody or other” for they know not what they do …. and even if (perish the cynical thought!) they do know what they do, well let’s just forgive them anyway ….. in the short time we have left.

”Good and bad depends on which side you are.” No. Let’s use logic here: Bad is bad for everyone, because it is bad, not good. Evil is evil for everyone, even to those who submit to it. What else could evil ever be but evil? Good is good for everyone, including you. No-one should count themselves out of here. The war on humanity is war on everyone. Now, is it humanity making war against itself? Certainly not. The evil is a spirit, because material things can’t have such thought. For example, truth and non-truth (= a lie) are spiritual, not material. Truth can’t be found anywhere in a rock or under it. But we can know the truth because we are conscious (again, consciousness is spiritual) beings with reason and conscience. So we, human beings, can know the difference between good and evil.

That’s what happens when everything starts falling apart. There’s a crack in Western “Civilization” a mile wide. Those who for ages have hidden behind Western “Civilization” have started seeping through.

Everyday Occultism: Bovril.

Bo = bovine; vril = the energy coined by Occultist Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his 1871 novel ‘The Coming Race’. Lytton’s son was the Viceroy of India who called the grotesque Delhi Durbar to “celebrate” Victoria’s proclamation as Empress of India. Their decendants will now be hectoring you should pay reparations for the crimes of colonialism – and that you’re “destroying the planet” because you’re too greedy.

Bulwer-Lytton’s earlier novel ‘Zanoni’ is cited by David Bowie as one of his favourite novels. He was lovely, that David Bowie.
