Steps to World Rule: First, Destroy Humanity

Todd Hayen

It has always been astounding to me that people think for even a second that their government makes decisions to help the people—that has never been the case.

If a government’s decision helps anyone it is always an after effect…or an afterthought or a collateral unintended benefit. The primary intent is for power, control, and money…to satisfy individual pursuits and goals of the global narcissistic/god-complex elite.

Anyone (which turns out to be most everyone) who supports this and thinks their government, or their nation, is operating in the people’s interest is signing their own death warrant.

“Don’t be so negative, Dr. Todd, there are good things in life too!”

Oh my yes, there are: newborn babies, sunsets, oceans, art, music, forests, waterfalls, sex with your lover, dogs…millions of things. But that is not what I am writing about right now. I am writing about the thing, and group of things, that will wipe all of that good stuff off the face of the earth. Sure, sure, sure, it won’t be forever. Good will prevail, but it could be a million years before it all comes back if we let it go now. And I think it is worth the fight to preserve what we’ve got.

Needless to say, people have always followed leaders. I am not an anthropologist, but I would take a guess that even in primitive times there were leaders of tribes, chiefs, kings, queens, or whatever. I would also guess that this arrangement probably worked well more often than not. Societies were close knit; if a leader went bonkers it was probably easier to just push him or her off a cliff somewhere. And considering how different things were back then, there probably was not as much incentive to be selfish, power hungry, wampum hungry, or weird in other ways. I also would guess this complacent sort of culture, if there ever was such a thing, did not last very long.

I’m sure adjacent tribes had some things the neighbors wanted, and sure the all too human trait of wanting power over others did not take too long to appear. Being the Grand Poobah of many people had to have the same allure it has today. Wars broke out, discrimination certainly reared its ugly head (“that tribe over there has longer necks than we do, let’s kill them!”), and of course truly important issues caused conflicts, like need for food, water, etc.

Things were a lot worse back in history than today in a lot of ways. But things along these lines did actually get better, in my humble opinion, during a brief period in the West. The establishment of a new country with fresh ideals was a sight for sore eyes back in the late 1700’s. I don’t think anything like it, on that particular scale, had been attempted in the human experience post antiquity (which we, regardless of what we have been told, know very little about). It indeed was a grand experiment—the new colonies in North America shedding the shackles of the tyranny of King George III of England.

The new fledgling country created a Constitution that was truly inspiring at the time. The checks and balances incorporated in that government was also inspiring, and did hold itself together fairly well for quite some time. Of course there are always problems, as there would be with anything brave and novel. But it all hung together fairly well for a bit of time.

I’ll stop there with the history lesson, which may not be all that accurate anyway, but I think you get the picture. Even if you disagree that the new United States of America was an exciting bit of work, you probably can agree that putting one man, or woman, in charge of a lot of people, has never gone all that well. Before the presidency of the United States, there were of course Kings and Queens. Even the US was concerned about having a single person at the head of the executive branch of government, lest it be too much like a monarchy. Some continue (many actually) to believe that the US form of government is still the best, and if certain things are readjusted, the US will continue to be the greatest country in the world.

I digress.

Wherever you are on that fence, you must agree that things are rather different now than what the founding fathers envisioned. Why? That would take a book, or several, to address. Point here is that we can no longer trust this system to be objective, compassionate, fair, benevolent, and not self-serving and destructive. In fact, it seems that the system itself is selling out to foreign interests, and the actual sovereignty of the nation is threatened, and this threat is largely coming from within.

We see this with other nations as well, basically handing over their sovereign rights as a nation to the likes of the WHO, or the UN, or even the WEF. What we see is much like watching a Sci-Fi motion picture where the bad guys are stripping a nation of everything that makes it the “representation of the people” into a personal self-serving slave to unelected powers.

What does this mean? Well, when you really think about it, there is no way this sort of global take over could ever be in the best interests of other human beings living on the planet. Even if you could have a benevolent world power (which is an oxymoron, in my opinion) you would, just by its nature, have to rule in very broad strokes, i.e., everything you implemented would have to be implemented for the good of the majority. That leaves quite a few people out. The hundreds of diverse cultures and the billions of humans that make them up would have to be reduced down to manageable attributes—becoming more and more like each other.

What does this sound like? If you thought “prison” you win the prize. Look at cultures like North Korea, and you will get some idea of what would be happening. And it is worse than that, because North Korea did not start out as a diverse culture—unlike the diversity of the entire globe.

And all that assuming this world system is benevolent, which it most certainly is not. Of course they present themselves as benevolent, and much like all fictional evil leaders (as well as the real ones throughout history), they may even believe they are benevolent. But any world leader(s) will have to focus on the destruction of humanity before they can accomplish any sort of world control over its inhabitants. That is simply the nature of the beast. I’ll say it again: any world leader(s) will have to focus on the destruction of humanity before they can accomplish any sort of world control over its inhabitants. No two ways about it.

And of course, in our modern age, this destruction of humanity is quite a bit more complex than literally whipping people into compliance like they did in the old days. Right now (and this will probably change) most of the psyop is accomplished either through the carrot enticement and then ruling with the stick, or through fear (stick first, carrot as a reward for compliance.)

It is the same game.

“First, destroy humanity.” – Says Satan. And his followers around the world in high places help.
It will take only a few years (7!) of worst catastrophe, then Christ returns. No evolution, no millions of years. The narratives serves the goal to ultimately get mankind to go into the slaughterhouse voluntarily while we are sheepishly chanting “It´s good, because we are too many human animals, and we´re destroying our planet”.
The psyop is much older and involves Eden, murdering Christ, deceptive church, enlightenment and ultimately: evolution and “deep time”.
Takes courage to look behind Satan´s narratives, but very rewarding.

These short articles feel like we are being asked to provide the real content.

Perhaps the OffG is an intelligence gathering operation- either to simply gather data and/or more specifically keep an eye on potentially problematic individuals.
Several commeners that used to post often are no longer here. Did they get dragged off the street into an unmarked vehicle? 😀

I’ll assume Intelligence has better places to watch to catch “neo-nazis” and I’ll play along !

There is nothing really new about the last 3 years.

If you see human behaviour as essentially driven by metaphysics rather than politics and monkey behaviour, things become a bit easier to understand.

In this view, even the most supposedly rational and materialistic human being has metaphysical beliefs. These beliefs have decayed over the centuries into an increasingly anti-human scenario; especially in the West, from where the decay has been exported to the rest of the world.
This is not just entropy but a kind of parasitism.

Several people trace the beginning of this parasitic situation to Babylon and the creation of the supposed first human “civilisation”, which means urban development, bureaucracy and money.

The anti-human narrative is the narrative literally shoved down our collective throat for 2 millenia, that of the one Middle eastern father “god”. If you question people who do not consider themselves religious at all many will find themselves unable to state affirmatively that the Bible and other Abrahamic “holy books”, Jesus Christ, God and his 10 commandments, ALL OF IT IS FALSIFIED RELIGION. Try it.

Turning love into a law actually creates hate, death, misery and slavery. (Love your neighbour or else – also love your enemy!! )

The twisted metaphysics of the garden of Eden and original sin, reward and punishment after death, salvation, sin and so on are still there in the backrooms of people’s psyche, opening them up to mental capture by the parasites and encoruaging a corrupt, slavish morality and total disconnect from nature. Who really gives a shit about nature?

A similar decay has taken place in Asia with Confucianism, Buddhism and Hinduism (without the continent-spanning genocides) leading to a similar spiritual disease but not quite so extreme, perhaps.

The obvious situation is that the things we regard of as human qualities do not exist at birth except as seeds, potentialities that need to be cultivated. Garbage in, garbage out….

This has gone far too long and I cannot see any way it will be undone by any normal human action at this point. Any group efforts towards this have historically achieved a furthering of the decay or led to more death.

Its you who dont have a clue about life and the way our universe function.

The advises in the bible and what Jesus says are made symbolic so only the righteous with a heart can interpret them, and the advices makes logically sense compared to life experiences and our stay here.

Dont eat the fruit from the tree of good and evil, if you do it you will certainly die. It means you must stick to the universal laws in paradise, otherwise you will die.

For what happen if you change these laws? You want to play God yourself and say 2+2=7 and the law of gravity dont exist: You get lost in the wood, cant find your way, die from hunger, get eaten by wild animals, jump out from a cliff. You die as promised.

Every single picture in the bible and also many philosophers advises have these kind of rationality to the way life must be lived to be good and to survive.

No, this is exactly what they envisioned.

White supremacists built an empire on land theft, native genocide, black slavery, racism, classism, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and war. It’s only now naive white westerners like you are waking up to what Malcolm X warned you about, that they’re chickens would be coming home to roost…

Emma Goldman:
The only difference is that you are hired slaves instead of black slaves.

Charles Bukowski:
Slavery was never abolished it was only extended to include all the colours.

And that is why the world must walk away from the wicked wasteful western way of life before it ends all life on earth…

What you are espousing is nothing more than the epitome of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
A posture that completely ignores the FACT that there were Black Land Owners with Black Slaves, and that White people were also slaves and or indentured servants, in the American Colonies.

All the things you list are characteristics of the European interests that dominated the American colonies until the American War of Independence (AWI). If the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and the founding fathers that penned them, where in fact what you assert, then we would still have indentured servitude as a means of production.

The Founding Fathers never intended for there to be a central bank or a debt based monetary system. As a matter of fact, they argued for what they called “honest money”, and an open free market. Meaning, if a bank had 10k in the vault, then the bank could only lend 10k. Also that companies could not acquire regional monopolies via government regulation.

The fractionalized banking system we have today, based on fiat currency debt, isn’t the result of the founding fathers. That you are asserting it is is both disingenuous and intellectually dishonest, as CRT is. CRT being just a derivative of collectivism.

The “western way of life” is not the issue here. The real issue is the Central Bank Cartel and their control of currency for all nations, and their collaboration with NGOs to consolidate all means of production. A pretext for implementing world governance by coercion.

Western culture no longer has slavery, as in the old world practice. There are eastern cultures that still to this day actively do practice old world slavery. What about the Chinese Social Credit Scoring system is redeeming that you don’t have the same disdain for it? What about all the forms of Collectivism, like Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Despotism, that are all forms of Totalitarianism, that have killed 100s of millions of people just in the 20th Century? The very reason we have the word DEMOCIDE.

If you find the Western Culture so abhorrent, then move to the Eastern Culture, while you are still free to leave the west. However, don’t be surprised if they don’t want you, or immediately oppress you in some way, because you come from the West.

Happy travels.

It’s inaccurate to compare indentured servitude to slavery: the former is voluntary, the latter is not.

Western Culture, as encapsulated in Capitalism, is abhorrent – precisely because it’s by far the most successful rendition of the traits which create empires. Without exploitation there can be no such thing as an empire. Western Culture, as evidenced by the condition the world is now in, has proven itself the absolute master of exploitation.

Whatever mayhem Western Culture has foisted upon the world has been accomplished with a single-minded ambition unlike anything ever attempted in human history.

Yet people of your ilk freely do the same when it comes to the debt based slavery monetary system, that you blame on white people.

What we experience in our life, is not Free Market Capitalism. We are experiencing Crony Capitalism that does not allow competition and creates closed regional monopolies. A form of collectivism in the marketplace.

The standard of living in the West has, and continues to be, one of the highest standards in the world. That is because of the fact that there is, at the moment, a middle class. A middle class that would not exist except in a capitalist market based on merit, at least to a small degree. The very reason TPTB are destroying the middle class.

Western Culture was the first culture to end slavery and wasn’t the first to adopt slavery. To this day, old world slavery is still practiced, legally, in Eastern Culture.

Imperialism was foisted upon the world by the likes of England, France and Spain. All of which, were, or are, Monarchs. These were not capitalistic societies that colonized the Americas and other parts of the world. They were some form of feudal system with the rich and powerful and peasants. No real middle class.

All your post proves is that you should get a refund for your indoctrination edumacation, and read more books.

It’s quite a stretch to assert that England, France and Spain were not capitalistic societies. Capitalism is an economic, not a political system. As such, it adapts to any given political system – even communistic.

Exploitation does not necessarily equal slavery. The US ended slavery in part because it was too paternalistic to suit Northern Industrialists – they feared their workers might get the idea that they too, like the slaves, should be provided food, clothing, shelter and medical care. This would not do.

The kind of exploitation that gave rise to the middle classes in Western culture was practiced on the sly – covert rather than overt: out of view of the vast majority of citizens, who never had to see the results of their society’s exploitation (except in places like Appalachia).

Besides which, there have always been “middle classes” – it’s not an invention of Western culture. No system can function without a middle class to carry out the dictates of the ruling class – and that is the primary purpose of a middle class.

I agree that Capitalism is an economic system and a Monarch is a form of government. However as long as a family, or group of people, are above the law, and all business opportunities are controlled and distributed by the Monarch, then it isn’t a Free Market Capitalist system based on merit.

It is a feudal system based entirely on the exploitation of the peasant class. The Monarch determining who can own land and have coinage.

In a Capitalist system, even to some extent our Crony Capitalism, the peasant class has the opportunity to become middle class, assuming they are willing to bust a nut to get there. Capitalism being based in the average person having the opportunity to make currency and buy land of their own.

Just because the exploitation isn’t overt, doesn’t mean it isn’t exploitation. That is like saying he wasn’t conned because he didn’t know he was getting conned.

Middle class, in today’s world, is exploited by the debt based monetary system. A system that people voluntarily participate in, and a system that exploits the weak willed when it comes to money management, resulting in the accumulation of debt. Debt that is used as a means of preventing people from moving forward economically, or losing everything.

I would not classify Bishops, Barrons, Lords, Dukes, and Knights as a middle class, that is equivalent to today’s societal structure. No one in today’s middle class can run around raping and killing indiscriminately and get away with it.

We can agree to disagree.

The WHO’s “undoubtedly rash” decision to stop considering covid a “global health emergency” is causing some consternation … apparently. But the great media oracle knew it couldn’t keep Groundhog Day up forever so it had to prepare for an inevitable bit of “modification”:

https://thewalrus.ca/the-vaccine-problem/

This repeats The Conversation’s recent piece about how “the deadly pandemic” will no longer be “contained” internationally but only “by the individual country”.

Not that this makes one helluva difference since the contours of Groundhog Day are clearly going to be kept intact as much as possible:

“On May 5, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced it no longer considers COVID-19 a global health emergency. That doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. With the virus continuing to spread and new variants breaking out, it’s widely accepted that the disease is probably here to stay.”

To which anyone with any sentience would shrug and say, “So who fucking cares! It’s just the cold anyway.” But don’t be so irresponsible!

“Among other public health measures, vaccines are key to allowing us to potentially live with it as an endemic disease.”

“Potentially”! See? We’re not quite there yet! And note how there is assumed to be no way we can live with this as an endemic disease without those little jags “amongst other public health measures”.

After which, the now tediously reiterated bit about “evenly distributing” these “essential” vaccines.

The usual shite. But here’s a glib slogan waiting in the wings:

“If the virus is anywhere, it’s everywhere”

Or did they use that one before?

And then we get the compulsory endless article about percentages and distribution ratios and scientifico-medico zip-e-dee-doo-dah that can be allowed to let rip after the initial viral abracadabra.

But what’s this at the bottom? A little quiz entitled “Follow The Money”? Good God! A bit of actual delving into the scam? Of course not!

“Billions of dollars have been spent over the past three years to develop COVID-19 vaccines. Who are the real winners? Test your knowledge with this quiz.”

And we are securely within that original abracadabra.

You may be interested in a series of ‘Contemplations’ I wrote on this subject as it relates to the suggestion of nationalising the banking system so as to take it out of the hands of private interests and place it in government control. As I argue:

Without getting too deeply into the entire morass that is our fiat currency scam and the Ponzi-type structure of our global economic system, I would argue that any marginal benefits of any governing system — particularly those that have developed during the past handful of centuries, if not more recently — have arisen not as a result of the beneficent behaviours of any specific elite (e.g., democratically-elected politicians who portray themselves as ‘representatives’ of the electorate) but as an epiphenomenon of intensified resource extraction, socioeconomic machinations, military might and alliances (mostly to gain and/or retain access to resources/markets), and — perhaps most importantly — fossil fuels that have helped to amplify everything by providing significant surplus energy, the foundation for most if not all of human societal complexities the past couple of centuries.”

Here’s a theory: An elite power faction decide to release their entire strategy in a form (the Protocols) that credits the whole thing to “The Zionists” or, better still, “The Jews”. And then this released document gets loudly trashed by the deeply virtuous “opposition”. After which, anyone who points out this strategy at work (i.e. actually in practice) is denounced as a believer in The Protocols and therefore as an “anti-Semite”.

No need to worry. Our Trotskyite brothers are about to launch the revolution:

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/29/ongx-m29.html

“All of the in-person attendees were wearing N95 masks, while the SEP used every available COVID-19 precaution, including Far-UVC lamps and HEPA filters. The enthusiastic take-up of masking demonstrated that ordinary people could and would fight for an end to the pandemic when armed with the means to do so.”

“Far-UVC lamps”?

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/01/12/trrg-j12.html

“Ultraviolet light and indoor air disinfection to fight pandemics: A technology long overdue”

So be assured. Our fearless barricade stormers are about to launch their devastating attack – after they have consulted the doctors and assorted experts for risk assessment, checked those barricades for infection potential, erected the properly designated safety and eradication measures, donned their masks and respirators, and are careful to observe the 2 metre space rule whilst they are stampeding towards the covid-denying overlords.

of course this “science” was never mentioned during the scamdemic because it would negate the need for masks, and drastically reduce the fear of contagion, and fear is very important to maintain at all times.

If you live in the UK all you need to do is call the town hall and they will deal with it or tell you who to call. The dog owner will get a warning and if it carries on they will get a fat fine and eventually have the dog taken away.

A dog barks for a reason. Either it sees/hears something or else, far more likely, it wants back in. The problem isn’t the dog, it’s the inattentive owner. A back yard is nothing more than a large cage. Dogs should be walked, not shoved outside alone.

That was the response of a mind shaped by the propaganda system. I spend a substantial amount of money travelling the world looking for wild animals and birds and other creatures to watch and if possible to photograph. Domestic canines are not part of nature. They were bred into existence by our ancestors from wild canines like the wolves. The domestic canine is a prisoner, a destroyer of wildlife and a noise machine.

The point is to be awakened in the middle of the night should someone decide to break in. It will give you half a chance at shooting the intruder dead before he (or she) tries to kill you. I don’t relish the idea of shooting someone. But there is the basic Dan Bongino rule: “Don’t get dead.” With today’s slide into lawlessness, the need to protect yourself is higher than ever. Calling 911 won’t do much good for several minutes. Buy a gun. Get trained and practice. Train your dog to bark in the middle of the night if someone tries to break and enter. On the other hand, letting your dog out to bark at night is just plain lazy and rude. Those dogs tend to disappear. Forever.

No one can control when a dog needs to go out and how much they bark.

Yes, dog owners should do their best to get pets on a schedule and routine and train them well. However you can do all of that and still end up pissing off a neighbor, or maybe it is just a pissy neighbor.

If city life is so stressful that killing someone’s pet is considered a solution then that person shouldn’t be living in a city.

Maybe that person could get to know the pet, such that if it starts barking, you yell it’s name and it shuts up.

Thinking the birth of the Great Satan was a great thing is a little bizarre. This event required the committing of the mortal sins of genocide and slavery on an unprecedented and unparalled scale. Just reflect on the horrors that this event has led to. The mountains of bison skulls. The slave ships, the nuking of Hiroshima, Dresden, Fallujah. I could go on all day.

The idea of this form of government isn’t the real issue. The real issue are those in power that ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and act like tyrants.

Your desire to destroy this form of government is misplaced. The idea of breaking into 50 independent states is exactly what TPTB want. The typical European Imperial divide and conquer strategy.

A UNITED STATES of America is exactly what they do not want. Specifically a nation that recognizes INALIENABLE RIGHTS for the individual, like FREE SPEECH, RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, FREEDOM TO TRAVEL, and DUE PROCESS WITH TRIAL BY JURY, to name a few.

Your perspective is that of a typical Torry Aristocrat that intends to use their connections to TPTB to exploit and rule.

Psychopaths are indeed often smarter, I think. Sociopaths too. It seems that it is compensatory behavior.
However, I notice that your reasoning is based on the status quo. I try to think even deeper and then arrive at our mind, but also the development of writing. The latter also comes from wretches, bad people, to count their slaves. So it makes sense that this has disastrous consequences for later generations like us.
You have to look at why politicians seem to have so much power. This is mainly due to the writing. Think of written laws.

The clue is therefore that we have been tricked by the same language and script. And you can’t beat them like that, because it’s their whip to hit with.

But without writing, no often stupid and unjust laws.

I chose my word above poorly, and should not classify sociopaths / psychopaths as “smarter”. For me being smart has to do with making good decisions and treating others the way you want to be treated. Just because someone has intellect or intelligence, doesn’t by default mean they are smart.

Sociopaths / Psychopaths are more intelligent, generally, and especially adept when it comes to manipulating others, and are much more devious and ruthless, primarily due to a lack of empathy and or sympathy. The very reasons people of this nature seek political power, at any cost, so that they can exercise that power upon other people, and cause suffering. The predator mind of a lizard, so to speak.

While I agree that words matter, and that written words are powerful, it is just a form of media, among many in today’s world. I would argue that songs, being the juxtaposition of music and poetry, is more powerful. Alos that movies, being the juxtaposition of music, words and images, is the most powerful and influential upon human behavior and conditioning of thought.

I would also argue that it isn’t the media itself that is the issue, rather the content that artists choose, or are directed to choose, to place within the media that is the issue.

Would the world potentially be a better place if media was truthful and moral, vs. fictional and amoral?

A printing press or pen are just tools. They don’t jump off the bench and start producing content without the intervention of humans deciding what will be written.

One might classify your idea as “Word Violence”, or more generally, “Media Violence”. Maybe that would provide impetus for “Word Control” or “Media Control”.

However, that would then be a form of censorship and infringement upon the human inalienable right of free expression.

Again, I think our brains were once influenced by writing. Letters and words require a different part of the brain than is natural.
Because of this, the arithmetic, mathematical part of the brain is used for written language.
This then leads to us becoming a ‘split’ personality without noticing it.
As you can see, I approach the problem biologically and psychologically. That’s the way. There is no point in talking or writing, because that is where the problem lies hidden. You can’t improve the problem with the problem.

Never claimed that weapons aren’t made by humans. I asked about inanimate objects and asserted that inanimate objects are nothing to fear.

Never asserted that you aren’t open minded. Your philosophical muses do not answer any questions, or verify your assertions.

What evidence do you have that the archeological dating of kuniform carved in stone, is fake? You cannot make that assertion unless you have evidence, and the motive for the hoodwink.

To clarify, the “people of the book” and “chosen Ones”, are the Israelites.

I am well aware of the Gospel warning of the Synagogue of Satan. If thinking they “live in your head” applies to me, helps you feel better, then good for you.

Some cortical thought might be asking, why a people that are constantly accused of lying and cheating, that we should now believe that they are telling the truth when it is asserted that the ideology of Jesus Christ was their grand plan?

Maybe ask yourself, if we all lived in accordance to the 10 commandments, and did our best to have a righteous life like Jesus, would the world be a better place?

I would also suggest the likely possibility that today’s Israelites, are just another group of people, that are being used by TPTB, as a means of more divide and conquer strategy, so that we, the not chosen, go to war with other duped people, instead of TPTB.

At the moment, the vast majority have no convictions and look to government as their God, have no morals and wallow in deviant behavior, and lack good character.

What bothers me is that the majority of people still don’t (want to) see that we can’t trust the system not to be self-serving. Soldiers are a prime example. Soldiers go to war believing the “enemy” to be out there, when in reality it is the enemy within that we need to subdue.

Whether you want to regard that ‘enemy within’ symbolically or as a real-world phenomenon, I think it holds true. That’s been my private lament for a long time; people are so in denial.

Hi Todd, you wrote: “…any world leader(s) will have to focus on the destruction of humanity before they can accomplish any sort of world control over its inhabitants.”

I´m a German native speaker, so I looked up “humanity” in the dictionary. There´s “humanity”= people, die Menschheit in German.
And there´s “humanity” =quality of being human. Menschlichkeit in German.

As you are referring to the inhabitants of the world who are in danger of being controlled by aspiring “world leader(s)”- which would not be possible if they were destroyed (not alive anymore), I suppose you are using “humanity” in the sense of “quality of being human.” Menschlichkeit.

Thank you for giving me hope that THEY will never succeed. Even here, where blind faith in the benevolence of authorities abound, and you are shut up by most people if you touch on subjects that are “taboo”- (guess which ones?) people are still full of humanity. Even after 3 years of terror they love their families, they co-operate, they live their lives as best as they can, they care for their children, their old parents, their gardens. They love to travel, are friendly to their neighbours (mostly), and on and on and on.

What I´m trying to say: I believe that humanity in the sense of “quality of being human” is indestructable, as I see it as the very core of being human . You can kill human beings, you can hurt them and get them to do and think all kinds of gruesome things. You can mess around with their genes, you can make them sick and mentally ill.

Still, there´s humanity. Man as a species has been surviving alland any disasters for quite a while. In cooperation with the laws of nature. Doesn´t matter if humanity is aware of the power of the laws of nature;-)

Thank you…yes, I am using “humanity” to describe a “quality”…and as a positive quality, which many OG readers seem to think we has a race of beings do not possess. Not sure if I would care to argue with them. So maybe just an ideal…something we THINK humans, as a community, should possess…decency, expression of love, being and acting good, considerate, etc. Maybe that has never existed, but I like to think it is possible.

I do use the term as if humanity does exist, now, at least in potential. Being a slave, being stripped of art and creativity, being controlled, etc. are all assaults to “humanity”….in my opinion…

This fact might help us to see that all politics, right, left, centre, green, extreme, mainstream, populist, nationalist, globalist and revolutionary, all of it is the domain of the Soul-less. All political movements are willing to use state power to impose their will, to compel you to deny your conscience and force you comply with their ideas. This is true of all politics, without exception, and while there is no doubt that hardcore conservatism is repressive to the Soul, the Modern Left, which in the UK takes the form of Labour, the SNP, Plaid Cymru, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats, is actively anti-spiritual. The Tories are a corrupt lot, no doubt about it, and both candidates represent nothing more than a continuation of progressive policies (albeit driven at the speed limit), more taxes, more division and more war, whether that be with Russia or China. Of course, almost all senior Conservatives are empty shells devoid of any philosophy or purpose other than to hold power, but the Left is no better because it isn’t actually a political force at all, but a spiritual one, or more accurately an anti-spiritual one that seeks to kill God and replace it with tyranny by committee. Sure, the Tories are morally, ethically and philosophically broken, but the Left is soul-less and spiritually bereft. Being Left does not make you a good person. In fact it may do quite the opposite.”

Extract from “I Withdraw My Consent” by Richard Abbot: https://www.thehermitage.org.uk/blog/withdraw-consent

Wake Up!

Something is wrong. Terribly wrong. You have always known it, but it used to be easier to deny, to sweep aside in favour of something (anything) new and exciting. ‘Forward to the Future!’ people used to say. But few say that with glee anymore, not since it all went wrong.

The situation is compounded because no one really agrees on what the problem is. Sure, most people have pretty strong views that it is THIS or THAT, or HIM or THEM that brought the crisis, but ask them HOW? or WHEN? or WHY? And the picture becomes murkier. Yet most people can see that things have gone badly WRONG, and this realisation is the start of an awakening.

Awakening should not be feared. We do it every day. Every morning our fantastical dream world (or state of nothingness) recedes and we stagger, half here, half there into our familiar, earth bound existence. Some of us immediately feel the pain and heaviness of the physical – the limbs ache, the head throbs, the heart races, the stomach twists. Others leap enthusiastically, or blindly, into the madness, but even those people need a few moments to adjust. Yes, the early morning is a TIME OF ADJUSTMENT.

So, we begin, pondering our condition, and trying to understand our place. As we work through this, day-by-day, we sooner or later ask – who is in charge here? And the answer is the same for all of us. It is Caesar. Caesar is in charge, and this world is his domain.”

Extract from “Who is Caesar, and why should we care?” by Richard Abbot:

https://www.thehermitage.org.uk/blog/who-is-caesar-and-why-should-we-care

“Everyone is different.

There are no two people on the planet with the same skin, eyes, hair or DNA.

But it is bigger than that.

There are no two people on the planet with the same thoughts or feelings.

But it is bigger than that.

There are no two people on the planet with the same path.

This means that uniqueness sits at the very heart of what it means to be human.

People disagree. People see things differently. But power has been seized by a group who cannot stand this fact, and they are intent on making everyone the same. This is not some shadowy elite tucked away somewhere. This is the person next to you on the bus, a family member, a co-worker. They do not believe themselves to be unique, so they do not see why you should be either. Governments around the world have conducted themselves shamefully. But they could not have done it without the acquiescence of people. Changing governments will solve nothing. The problem is people.

A big part of what has gone wrong is that uniqueness has been de-spiritualised. Uniqueness, for most people, simply means the freedom to make individual selections of material things. It means living their life the way they see fit and everyone else can go hang. You see this all the time in shops, on buses and trains, and particularly on the road. But the uniqueness I am talking about has a spiritual component. It is about the fact that being your unique self is a gift to others, not a loss to them. That by saying it as you see it others benefit. In a society which believes in nothing beyond the material, uniqueness will always produce selfishness. But a society which recognises that there is a spiritual dimension to life will see that God has a nine billion faces, each one valuable and unique.”

Extract from “Sameness is the problem. Uniqueness is the cure” by Richard Abbot:
https://www.thehermitage.org.uk/blog/uniqueness-is-the-cure

There is no one else quite like you.

This becomes clear if you examine yourself in the mirror for five seconds. There is no one else on the planet who has the same eyes, skin, hair, teeth or fingerprints as you. There is no one else with the same smile, the same laugh, the same body shape as you. Sure, there are plenty of people who are similar, but you could travel three times around the world before you would find anyone else exactly the same. Even so-called identical twins are different, albeit in the smallest of ways.

But small differences are not trivial, because the uniqueness of human beings does not end at our physical bodies. Our emotional and mental states vary too. Anything that happens in our world generates different feelings, and different thoughts, depending on the individual. Astrology, numerology and palmistry all confirm that the human experience is unique to each individual. No two people will ever see the same situation in precisely the same way.

None of this ought to be controversial, but a great con trick has been pulled in recent times. The powerful have conspired in an unholy alliance with the fearful to convince you that differences are the problem and sameness is the solution. Increasingly, anyone who behaves, looks, feels or thinks differently to the accepted norm is cancelled, shamed, or diagnosed, in order to be treated and ‘corrected’. The fearful and the powerful both love to identify difference and call it bad…”

Look at most Brit girls and tell me if you can see a difference. There appears to be a tribe that have fake tans, Pumped up lips and fake lashes. You have to look real close to see any difference. In fact you can’t. I’m pretty certain they all go by the name Britney or something along those lines. I’m still trying to find where they are produced and have the joint shut down.

A negative outlook has proven more reliable over time.

Instead, he flew to the crash site where three trains collided killing almost 300 people. Bit of a coinkidink, don’t you think?

I appreciate that India doesn’t need any help coordinating large toll catastrophes…. but India has pissed off the neocons over its oil trade with Russia and hell hath no fury like an offended Woke incel… sorry, intel.

Need one observe that the U.S. itself has rather an off-the-tracks record recently with bumping its own trains.

In other nooz…
As pilots are grounded due to vaccine injury… numerous articles are rolled out simultaneously in the state-corporate media out to suggest AI will replace humans at the controls.

and British comedian (and electrical engineer) Rowan Atkinson writes in The Grauniad about the problem of electric vehicles.

The state of the American Experiment, as in a Representative Constitutional Republic, that recognizes the inalienable rights and liberties of the individual, is still the greatest form of government ever conceived by humans. If you have a better concept or idea for a form of government, that isn’t rooted in collectivism, then share it with the world.

The state of America today, is not a refutation of the form of government, or the founding documents. No one promised that the Constitution and Bill of Rights would stop tyranny. We were explicitly warned that to keep our Republic would require constant vigilance, because the most dangerous threat would come from within.

Do business contracts stop people from acting unethically or criminally in business? No they do not because any and all criminals, because they are criminals, have no ethics or morals. The very reason that there is no such thing as written legislation that can stop violence.

The state of the USA today, is proof, and evidence, that We the People of the USA have completely failed at vigilance, being informed, and holding TPTB accountable for their corruption and crimes.

It is times like these, that we have the Second Amendment. Our contract with government has been breached. The remedy for breach is the Second Amendment, that is to be used to change the guards of government.

Then why have we heard complaints about this two party system since its inception? Why were there those even before it was implemented warning that it was not going to work except for the rich and wealthy? If the state of the nation today is proof, what about 115 years ago when Eugene Debs called the two party system two sides of the same coin? People 100 years even prior to that were saying the same thing. What about the inalienable rights and liberties of the individual did non-landowners receive, or women, or blacks under slavery and Jim Crow. This representative system of government, which should be considered separate from the flowery words about individual liberties, isn’t even close to being the greatest form of government ever conceived. I don’t know what has been, maybe the ancient greeks, but no, this one has always been for the privileged.

The contrived political two party system isn’t a form of government.
Our Representative Constitutional Republic was never intended to have any parties.

That there is, and has been for a long time, a two party system, that is really the uniparty, is not a refutation of the form of government.

It is more evidence, as already stated, that We the People have not been vigilant.

That slavery existed in the US, over 100 years ago, a system driven by European interests, is not a refutation of the form of government.

Our founding fathers were clear that this issue of slavery would have to be faced and resolved within the context of the Constitution. That it wasn’t solved immediately is also not a refutation of the form of government or the intent of the founding documents.

Don’t forget the fact that there were also black land owners that owned black slaves. Also that white people came to the Americas and had to pay their debt by being a slave or, indentured servant.

All people enjoy the same protections of individual rights today. Racism in today’s world is just a McGuffin to argue for collectivism that is a euphemism for totalitarianism.

The argument being based in the age old argument that, if your solution isn’t the panacea everyone expects, and doesn’t provide a solution for all of mankind’s ailments, then it is a failure.

A Democracy as a form of government is collectivism because the mob determines what rights you have. The desires of the many out weigh the individual.

A constitution that recognizes INALIENABLE RIGHTS means the mob cannot take those rights away. You know stuff like FREE SPEECH and RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

The only scam is any form of government that does not recognize the inalienable rights of the individual. That is any form of government that isn’t representative.

History has proven that only Tyrants like and accept collectivism.

Or maybe Biden, able to leap over small sandbags with a single fall. Personally, I’ve never been much of a follow the leader type and have long called for the abolishment of the Office of the President, not to mention a new Constitution, which was set up explicitly to protect the rights of the rich and culminate in exactly what we’re experiencing now. The fact that there is a presidential election actually happening right now is as nauseating as it gets.

It’s proven now though that the dumbest people on earth are Trump supporters. Right next to Biden supporters of course.

That the “rich” have become the ruling class, is not a refutation of the form of government called a Representative Constitutional Republic.

It is the result of people not being vigilant at protecting the Republic from the influence of rich people.

The founding fathers recognized that the greatest threat would come from within, and the reason we have recognized inalienable rights in the founding documents.

The Second Amendment is for times such as these, where it is necessary to change the guards of the Republic. This is the end result of We the People complying with government instead of removing corrupt guards.

Todd Hayen is a registered psychotherapist practicing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He holds a PhD in depth psychotherapy and an MA in Consciousness Studies.”
I think there is more psychiatry than politics is this article. And not enough psychotherapy in the psychiatry. We hairless apes are pretty close to our hairy ape cousins, and Jane Goodall has noted good and evil in the psyche of both:

“Dr.Goodall, some people would say that you like chimps more than you like people”.
“I like some chimps more than I like some people, and I like some other people more than I like some other chimps”.

On the higher level — of government — neither Goodall nor Hayen have anything to say. Goodall is secure in her Christian faith, and Hayen is secure in his Canadian comfort:

“in my humble opinion, during a brief period in the West. The establishment of a new country with fresh ideals was a sight for sore eyes back in the late 1700’s. …. It indeed was a grand experiment—the new colonies in North America shedding the shackles of the tyranny of King George III of England”

On the contrary I believe that, from the viewpoint of Politics and the Rule of Law, the White Man’s arrival was the greatest disaster to befall the aboriginal Red Man, after 200 centuries of the Red Man living, surviving and thriving on the continent of America.

What I think is that both Todd Hayen and Sylvia Shawcross’s essays appear on the weekend because OffG knows these Canadian writers neither rant nor rave quite enough to suit many, if not most, of OffG’s readers. So they have to be buried on a back page (so to speak).

It always amazes, and frustrates, me that so many people who criticize others for their lack of “critical thinking” seem not to notice it in themselves.

One brief personal example if you don’t mind. I happen to believe there really is a problem with man-made climate change. I try to present as much “evidence” as I can find because I know it’s an unpopular view here. Makes no difference. I could write practically an article and get beaucoup downvotes. And a reply could say “You’re full of it!” and get just as many upvotes.

What does that tell you?

Ah Howard, ya hurt me feelings. I’m with Todd. If the dissenters are too great a majority then I can also leave. Also, for me, writing theoretically in another country seems safer than in Canada with its rising censorship. Although thats foolish because this is worldwide. Just a better sense of safety without logic.

Any complaint I have is with the readers/commenters here – most definitely not with you or Todd Hayen. The both of you get a type of comment which is unlike any other writer on OffG – it’s not just rude or critical, it’s downright vicious. Because they don’t think you toe the line like you “should.”

In other words, it’s ideology based rather than based on what you’ve written.

“Why didn’t you cuss and scream at Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab in every single article? That’s what we want to hear!”

Sorry, but that’s my view of way too many commenters in this forum.

Thank you Howard for this comment. I won’t speak for Syl, but I seldom write about “people”…sometimes, but not often. I try to write about principles, ideas, psychology etc. It does seem there are a few people that do exactly what you say. Interesting insight…

“It indeed was a grand experiment—the new colonies in North America shedding the shackles of the tyranny of King George III of England.”  😐 

Todd, have you read history? The, as you say, ‘brave and novel’ construction of a ‘fledgling country’ was built upon the genocide of a far more laudable civilisation – the Native American peoples & nations.

An estimated 12 million Indigenous people died between 1492 and 1900 in what is now considered the coterminous United States of America.

Shame on you for this horrid whitewash.

Colonialists stole the land of the peoples and murdered them. They did it for money. The United States of America is the head of the Beast, stealing and murdering with the power of money as they always did.

The myth of a ”once great nation” is a myth. It’s been brainwashed into Americans so that they too believe in the goodness of evil.

I did not read Todd saying everything was lovely in establishing the new colonies, he was stating that people were leaving an oppressed life in Europe. I think everyone pretty much realizes the terrible treatment of the indigenous people. That was not the subject of his article.

That is an idiotic thing to lay your head on when every nation, throughout history, has done exactly what you assert.

Conflict over land has, and continues to be, the way of the world.
This is not to suggest it is an excuse or reason to ignore it. It is to suggest that no one alive today is responsible for what you are pointing out. Therefore it is nothing more than a strawman argument to suggest that none of us deserve to live and should be punished for the acts of our fathers, and mothers.

Spain conquered South and Central America, and according to history, wiped out the entire civilizations of the Aztec and Incas. All for the pursuit of gold. Why do you not mention this?

America was under the control of the Crown of England until 1783, so why is it “AMERICA’S” travesty and not also England’s?

France, England and Spain all but invented Imperialism and colonized the world between them. Why aren’t you mentioning this?

Try harder at some critical thought and stop blaming the woes of the world on one nation, when all nations are just as guilty.

Also, American Indians were not peaceful hippies running around in Birkenstocks.

Per the history we are taught, American Indian tribes perpetrated their share of heinous acts, and wiped out other tribes, and had wars, before any colonization by the West.

Genocide and slavery were routine in the colonial era. It has always been the lot of invaded peoples in every war. There is no need to quote the religious, philosophical and even scientific justifications by the victors.

The civilised Allies killed about 12 million German civilians and prisoners of war through deliberate starvation, exposure and execution, mostly after the war ended [BBC 2005]. This is apart from the mass rapes in Germany and Japan.

Guess what. ? They now pay over 600£ per month more to live, The family’s barely can afford to live, There mortgages have gone up over 6 times in 3 years. The food has doubled.
Electric and Gas has tripled. Petrol has tripled.

Do you even live in real world Todd.?

That is the reality Todd for people in the U.K or in E.U country’s called the West.

Yes that’s what you get when your nation is obligated to third parties to pay interest on the currency (money) it issues. Third party outsider like the privately owned federal reserve (or one if its foreign owned central banks) make a profit on the Interest they charge on the currency they issue to governments. This basically puts a middle man in between the government and those it governs. It also allows those who issue the currency to control how much currency will cost the government. The higher the prices of things, (the lower the value of the money)and the more currency is needed, so the more interest the third party non government can make.

The amount of currency available determines the prices of things, interest on notes secured by mortgages on the underlying real estate included.
If the state self issued its own money(currency) it would not need to charge interest, hence there would be money aplenty to go around and likely no unemployment would exist as the currency self issuing government needs only to use its currency to fund enough enterprises with non interest bearing currency for the enterprise to be able to pay its employees. People would accept this because they can pay taxes with it, The state would fund as many projects as needed to maintain full employment, the funded project would pay the employees of the project, and the employees would ,by their spending, distribute the currency (money) to the herds and the government that issued the currency in the first place would tax the money back into the government to fund the government.

The state, government, is an organization that has taken society as hostage. The state makes laws to those it governs. The state laws force people to pay taxes to the government, and the government decides how to use those funds. The state has made it a law that only the state has the monopoly on violence. When the state declares a war, its subjects are forced to participate in it or be killed.

The state and its governmental organizations are private. As is money. They were created by few men so that the many would be controlled. Simultaneously, they created inequality: leaders and followers, those who command and those who must obey, employers and employed/unemployed, owners and workers, those who have and those who have not.

The state is a murder machine. It is disguising itself as ”society”, ”of the people”, ”for public good” and ”rule of law”, but it’s nothing but a thief and a murderer. Societies existed long before states. Moneyless societies existed long before money.

Money, state, monopoly, government, war, and all these things connected with each other are not necessary or needed.

They are based on belief, obedience, and ignorance.

The government is not like a household, it’s like a bank. It’s one of two ways to create money, and if you don’t let them create money by spending more than they take back in taxation, you have to rely on the private banking system to create the money and you therefore get private debt bubbles.

A government is like a bank. And a government running a balanced budget is like a bank that simply lends back as much as it gets in repayments, therefore the money supply never grows and without that, you don’t have a growing economy. 
~ Prof. Steve Keen

A lot of money in the system is bank credit, but this is only because (Wall St-controlled) government is eternally constraining net issuance of its own currency, thereby increasing demand for bank credit. 

Austerity is a policy to subsidize the financial sector by creating artificial currency shortages.

Prof. Michael Hudson explains how government public finance management should work:

Government Debt and Deficits Are Not the Problem – Private Debt Is

Todd was not writing an expose on what you are saying. Was he supposed to write a book in this limited space on every aspect of everything? And I find it offensive that some writers of comments about OG articles attack the writer rather than just commenting…isn’t that what Off Guardian is all about? Discussion of sacred facts? Of course there should be expression of disagreement but why attack?

Short, sweet, accusatory: just what the world needs now. Trouble is, these psychos who create the most mayhem didn’t just get born in our modern age. They’ve been around as long as there’s been a “civilization” to pick clean.

And people have found time all through history for other things than simply shaking their fists at the bad guy. Why should this be any different? Why should everything but rancor be set aside?

And if we do set everything else aside and focus all our energies on getting rid of the current crop of psychos – what will we have left to bring to a new world? Nothing but hate and snarling. Sorry, no can do.
