Serf’s Up
Sylvia Shawcross
Are we returning to the Feudal model?
Well its enough to drive you around the bend and put bubbles in your veins trying to understand the world as it is unfolding. Watching Mattias Desmet being interviewed here, I remember a criticism of his theory being that he attributes everything bad happening right now to the psychology of the masses and in effect I’m sure inadvertently ends up giving the blame to the people.
This criticism I believe came from CJ Hopkins and it is a valid argument.
Now Desmet warns that it is important for those who did not fall for the psychological games of Mass Psychosis with Covid not to fall for a second one…ie. blaming everything on an elite e.g. That, he guarantees is not the solution and is just more psychological trickery.
And I’m afraid I’m going with Hopkins on this one.
The people did not create the situations that caused them to react the way that they have. That was mostly orchestrated. The WEF website and all their stated goals are there for all to read. The truth about the vaccine at best not working and at worst damaging people has come out. The things being done in the name of carbon emissions is long and terrifying. The destruction of american/western culture is happening quickly. The new cultural inculcation and the rewriting of history is well under way. The relentless alienation provided by technology continues its rampage.
This is not psychology but tangible manufactured reality.
Now I was arguing with someone about the coming totalitarianism and socialism and communism when they, being far brighter than I am, pointed out that it is not any of these things. It is feudalism.
Did we think that thems with the money and power were actually going to give it all up when they finally pretend to save the world? Of course not. Did we think they would give up their jets and manors and caviar? Of course not. So eliminating the middle class and creating a government dependant slave class, well… we’re all going to be ploughing fields with our bony starvation fingers and fighting robots for the privilege. One day. Because they’ve cut our quotas of cricket caviar down.
We won’t be ranting about pronouns when we’re all called comrade or “hey you serf.” At least there will be that.
But I will take it one step further. If the solutions to the world problems are global in nature as they are repeatedly telling us rather than “community-oriented,” then instead of grassroots from the bottom up change, we’ll be needing top down change.
So from now on all members of the WEF must take public transportation. A meme came out recently stating that New Zealand’s new prime minister Chris Hipkin’s backup Air Force plane had the same emissions as driving three Ford Rangers to the moon. (That’s one leader of many so inclined.)
And we will be expecting them to be eating crickets only at their meetings. As well, those meetings must be held without air-conditioning in hot countries and solar/windmill provided heat in cold countries. They will dress only in plastic recycled clothes. And no high-end prostitutes… let them troll the streets like the rest of them.
They must set the example. If they do, maybe we’ll all do a nice happy little mass psychosis with them and they’ll be happy. Particularly when they give everything away and own nothing to do so.
But never mind all that.
The important thing is that the stage of absolute demoralization is in the works. Don’t go there. That’s what they want. And don’t do anything that makes you less than human. You are not a number. Next week we may discuss something utterly irrelevant just for a change. Perhaps the cost and carbon footprint of cricket feces disposal or why no one is in their right mind anymore and whether this is a good or bad thing.

Great article. The serf reference is a good one…it seems that is a more descriptive term for what the puppet masters are planning for all of us…
Great article. I love the reference to serfdom. It is probably a much more accurate description of what “they” are trying to create with the masses.
A gotta laugh at the “elite” meme. Take a good look at videos and/or photos of these “elite”. The majority of them are flabby, pockmarked, eye-bagged, sickly gaggles of decrepit men and ladies. Most couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag. A good swat with a crowbar or machete would bring them down in seconds. Let’s cringe and cower before their majesty. Who’s zoomin’ who?
Marcus Garvey: “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.” 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. Henry David Thoreau: It is hard to have a Southern overseer. It is worse to have a Northern one. But worst of all when you are the slave driver of yourself. Frédéric Bastiat: Slavery, protection, and monopoly, find defenders not only in those who profit by them, but in those who suffer by them. Frederick Douglas: Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other. “This or that?

Marx was an ardent supporter of slavery in 1847.
don’t talk nonsense!
There is something to what he says, it’s all over the Internet of course, but the interpretation “ardent supporter” is simplistic and not true. I already replied to this accusation months ago in detail but received no answer.
I’ve given up.
Slavery got phased out only because serfdom (wage slavery) was less expensive more profitable. The employees had to pay for food and maybe lodging. No wages when they were sick. If they managed break out of the religious programming and find better options, hunting down and lynching them was outsourced to so-called lawless groups.
The shining light on the hill indeed.
Slavery was phased out because escapees were more expensive than new, untrained slaves – thus a permanent financial drain, according to Catherine Austin Fitts.
Klaus Schlobb’s chip under the skin would eliminate the loss from escapees, thus making slavery once again profitable.
Along the same line, slavery naturally reached the point of exhaustion with industrialisation. Cotton and tobacco production of the Southern States started being challenged by that of India, Brazil, Egypt, etc. They had to lower prices and thus costs.
Through the use of machinery, capitalists made the most out of an abomination: child labour. In France, a child at a cotton spinning machine, was able to deliver the *same* productivity as an adult but was paid *fourth* the usual rate.
As we would say today, slavery was no longer sustainable.

It was Corona virus, and this time its the truth with logo …and also reason. Therefore its a fact, and not fake news.
Yet Desmet in the interview to which you include a link speaks of “a pact between an elite and the masses”. And isn’t that just what we’re experiencing? It’s not the members of the elite who dance naked in the streets with breasts and penises hanging from the same bodies. Nor are they necessarily elite members whom you supposed to be your friends until you realized they’d be happier seeing you thrown into a concentration camp for the unvaccinated (the actual members of elites, on the other hand, tend to stick together). You write as if (or wish) that all of us were innocent except for the few pulling the strings. But its obvious that the majority of the population practically everywhere both during and since “COVID”, in psychic epidemic after psychic epidemic (Ukraine, Woke, Trans, Climate…), consent, whether induced or not, through willful ignorance and/or lack of will, spellbound… Read more »
Thank you, for your comment. I really enjoy Shawcross and Hopkins writings, but have to disagree with their criticism of Desmet’s latest book..
Victimhood is a disempowering ideology. People might have been targetted but they went along with it. They had agency and participated in terrorism. Nobody can really claim they were entirely innocent. Children I suppose but for adults even we in the opposition movement had our faults. We could claim to be on top. We were. We are or atleast some of us are. It is thus important to improve. To live up to the high standards one would expect of an elite. To set a good example for others to follow. We need to be more regal.
Thats why we (some of us) confess our sins. Only by recognizing our sins and regret we can become more intelligent
‘Mass Formation’ always appeared to me to be a truly bad translation into english and I’ve never understood why anybody every listened to this total penis and his banal psychobabble bollocks…and now I know why…because on top of being a complete bore, he’s also working to deflect the blame the from the goddamn criminal murderous scum of the earth.
The would-be Lords of the Manor never stop trying to find ways to enserf the rest of us. This sounds truly creepy and scary (as well as helping explain the real reason for geoengineering). But – cynic that I am – I doubt they will actually get this one “off the ground” (if you’ll pardon the pun).

I apologise in advance for the length of this comment. But the more I read into it, the more fucking terrifying it seemed. We are talking Dr Strangelove here. We are talking utterly barking mad Nazi re-formation of the entire cosmos! I was wondering how Nafeez Ahmed was getting on these days. He was the original poster boy for “The 9/11 Truth movement”, being the first on the scene with his War On Freedom and seemed to be the guy you’d most trust to investigate this crucial psyop false flag. That was before he started to make curiously retrograde noises poo-poohing “conspiracies”, revealing (and with pride) his gargantuan connections with the military-intelligence network, and ferociously shilling it up for covid. Well here he is: https://ageoftransformation.org/energyphasetransition/ Note how we are in the realm of the corporate power point presentation with corresponding obfuscatory language of the sort that… Read more »
How very prescient of Mr. Ahmed to pinpoint “that sector which changes the very rules and properties of the system.” We all know what that sector is: it is the Military. So any “transitions” will necessarily benefit the Military and their paymasters – and no one else.
Mr. Ahmed has inadvertently laid it all bare right before us.
https://ageoftransformation.org/about/
Ahmed’s info page. Quite the revelation from the apparently first to arrive at the 9/11 skeptic scene. Here he gives us transhumanism in a nutshell. And look at his (proudly displayed) credentials and connections. The insider’s insider.
Just remember everything is seen from a financial economic wall street standpoint.
Then we can keep our lingua straight.
Energy transformation is economy transformation, clima change is financial change, green wave is dollar wave.
Ahmed has found his niche George: The arse crack of the plutocracy.

The United States has reached a milestone in the long struggle against Covid: The total number of Americans dying each day — from any cause — is no longer historically abnormal. Excess deaths, as this number is known, has been an important measure of Covid’s true toll because it does not depend on the murky attribution of deaths to a specific cause.” The “murky attributions” of deaths to a specific cause? Could this possibly be an admission that perhaps – just perhaps – some of those covid attributed deaths were “murky” i.e. possibly not covid deaths? No matter – we now breathe the fresh air of “excess deaths” where we need not trouble about “murky” attributions – an ironic statement since our media boys (in this case, one David Leonhardt) here are clearly implying that these excess deaths were indeed due to covid. But… Read more »
Excess deaths has been used to help work out the true scale of damage caused by restrictons, ‘covid’ treatments etc. The NYtimes is seeking to define their own function within their narrative when in reality they avoided discussion of excess deaths. As I understand it excess deaths are an anomaly from the baseline. The baseline is a 5 year average. Therefore after more than 3 years the baseline is more than three fifths during the terror campaign. It has moved up and is excessive compared to the old baseline. Therefore the excess only needs to drop less than 2 fifths of the old baseline to become zero. Easy enough in the summer when it would normally be expected to drop below the baseline. On top of that if there has been 3 years of excess then you would need 3 years of below average to balance it out. Like a… Read more »

Look at that picture: Arm stretched as if attempting to ward off the arrival of God on doomsday with that jagged line soaring upwards. “A series of climate records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice have alarmed some scientists who say their speed and timing is “unprecedented”.” A glance down shows that the graphics department have really shot their load this time.

Well I’ve had no complaints Hyuk Hyuk. (Disengage Sid James mode.)
It may not be quite as easily debunked as you imagine. All the “debunking” I’ve encountered could easily fit into a nice Fact Check thimble.
There are, however, a few excellent pieces debunking the “Let’s blame it all on CO2” thesis. Here’s one. It’s very long, and focuses primarily on geoengineering. But it’s about as close to a first class “debunking” as I’ve encountered.

“Fact Check thimble”? Ugh!

I just did another search to find that result and it was gone! Or rather – it was shuffled a bit further back, Indeed there seems to have been a bit of a reshuffle all around with the latest Scariest Temp Ever here: “Wednesday was the hottest day on record in Phoenix, hotter even than the day in 1990 when planes stopped landing and taking off at the airport as the temperature set an all-time record of 122 degrees. In the time between Wednesday morning’s low of 97 and the afternoon high of 119, people went to work, indoors and out.” BUT… Read more »

These high pressure domes are created using Ionosphere Heaters. And once created, these domes can last for months at a time before it’s necessary to create another one.
Underneath the domes, the temperatures can rise to very high. It’s a scam pure and simple – but the temperatures recorded are very real.
Soon it won’t work any longer as more people finally start to accept that climate engineering has been going on for decades.
It’s interesting to note that plant stomatas shut down at temperatures above 104 F. Wonder how much of this heating is to destroy crop production?
Magellan
I wrote a post which had a reference to the fellow that first circumnavigated the Earth. The name I think was Ferdinand Magellan. I saw a statue of him in Punta Arenhas in Southern Chile in 2017.
Humanity (the active part) consists of ~3-4bn people working now — but not on their own. Human activity cannot produce the thing we call ‘humanity.’ We augment ‘humanity’ with oil dependency that augments human labour by multiple orders of magnitude. In effect, we do 800 million years of work a day — what the fuck for? Nobody is to ‘blame.’ The series of choices that led to this gargantuan effort were taken across millennia — at least 2.5Ky if we are claiming Greco-Roman heritage. All this daily bickering and blaming is itself psychotic: the psychological effort put in would be better invested in understanding why we think we need such an astronomic and expanding power consumption to enjoy our ‘freedoms’ and ‘happiness’ — ‘cos it sure as hell does not come across that anybody is actually enjoying the absolute peak of our power to act. All the conditions for this… Read more »
The funny part of seeking an entity to blame is that in doing so, the blame-seekers, who foolishly consider themselves champions of freedom, implicitly acknowledge that them the people are powerless creatures in need of an authority to shepherd them – they only bitch about the shepherd not being a good one, but a malevolent asshole.
Probably the result of religious upbringing and the benevolent God leading them on their way through life.
“[those] who foolishly consider themselves champions of freedom, implicitly acknowledge that them the people are powerless creatures in need of an authority to shepherd them”
Exactly. And so all that’s ever needed to cement a power structure is holy men/women reading tea leaves.
Hi Bryan.
You claimed in a recent comment that there’s something like 8 years of human labour equivalent in a barrel of oil, and above that we do 800 million years worth of work a day.
I find this fascinating. Could you show us your working out or provide a reference?
Cheers
My car takes between five something to eight or nine liters if gas to travel 100 kilometers depending on whether I drive 100 or 200 clicks per hour. The car weighs about one and a half tons. Imagine dragging the fucking thing yourself, pushing it up every hill. Ditto everything else.
You get the picture.
But the problem is that you can’t even equate human labor with work done thanks to carbon fuels because if you use human labor, people would simply not be able to do all the just-in-time tasks, produce food for themselves, and a bunch of other things.
The way the world is organized is totally dependent on energy. Cheap energy that is (cheap in the sense of low energy cost of energy extraction).
My point exactly. In the video above it takes 180 “Roberts” (that’s the cyclist) to power a car and 43,000 to power a plane; but a million cyclists could never actually power a plane.
We’ve got to start thinking about what a human powered future might look like and stop assuming that oil dependent economics is going to last indefinitely.
I wonder how many ‘Roberts’ the inane internet blame game consumes?
Robert is below now!
Around here where I live, there are massive investments being made into infrastructure, mostly roads, highways. Also railways.
Railways are good, but highways? What the fuck for?
All things considered, even if there was enough oil for quite a while yet, I’d be thinking about harnessing other forms of energy. Electricity, even though it’s not an energy per se, just medium, is the best we have. Hydrogen might be another option. Not sure how the ECoE works out. Then there is gravitation.
Anyways, if it were up to me, I would be building pumped storage hydro facilities.

There are so many options to vast centralised power consumption we could have made the same amount of FFs last indefinitely. As a builder, my major bugbear is centralised power production to heat drafty housing stock — what a fucking waste. We have been able to build houses that need no space heating, but they are costlier to build, thus less profitable…. and don’t think that designed obsolescence doesn’t apply to housing.
Everyone agrees hydrogen is a net energy sink; but it looks like we are gonna do it anyway. Anyway, most folk wouldn’t be nearly as troubled as they might think if we stepped down energy consumption. Not nearly as much as if we go peddle to metal and crash.
How’s your leg development going!
Re: Hydrogen.
There was a plan to build large solar farms in Ukraine and use thus generated electricity to produce hydrogen and blend it with natural gas transmitted to Europe, in incrementally increasing concentrations. The main challenge was apparently the much smaller size of the hydrogen molecule vis-a-vis the methane molecule, which would necessitate tighter fittings.
They’ve scrapped the plan for now AFAIK.
Highways are for your Harley Davidson. Any problem with that?
No. I enjoy driving my vehicle like the next bloke.
Just expressing a though of general nature.
There are quite a few ways to reduce fuel consumption and expense. This begins with going through the specific manual for the car.
My cars are 25 years old. No manual. I start up the thing, floor the gas pedal and go! The mighty 1.8 Turbo engine does the rest.
Yippee yay yay!
If indeed we can get “8 years of human labor” out of a single barrel of oil; and if there are 100 million barrels of oil used each day (as per figures I’ve heard); then it would follow that we get 800 million years worth of human labor every day.
101.89 million barrels a day (predicted) for 2023. The figures are such magnitude that slight discrepancies do not matter. The scale is much greater than all the humans who ever lived could produce (which another example of mine.) They say we’ve got 47 years left, but the distribution curve (the infamous Hubbert curve) is going to tail off at 6-7% per annum. As we furiously turn gas into ‘oil’ that will run down quicker too. If you want to do the deepdive Art Berman, Nate Hagens and the old Oil Drum crew are still about.
1 barrel of oil = 5.8m BTU or ~1700 kWh; single labourer ~75 W per hour; 75W for 8hrs = 0.6 kWh; 1700 / 0.6 = 2834 days; 2834 / 365 = 7.77 years.
From my notes, but its quite a common calculation. Depending on assumptions: different variations range from 5-11 years — it also depends on the type of work; office work probably would yield 11 years at basal metabolic rate.
@ $70 per barrel: that’s $8.75 a year, which is the sort of money we can expect to be earning in the future!
If you really want a laugh, watch an Olympic cyclist v 700W toaster to see what it takes to produce 0.0021kWh. We’re all gonna need 74cm thighs if we don’t all want to power down to lower levels.
Thanks for the explanation Bryan.
Sentimentality There is on some articles here a tendency to sentimentalise the oil industry and the other industries that sprung up around it. This implies that oil and automobiles and plastics are part of an admirable way of life. The fact is that it was the Rockefellers that made oil big business. This family has at times rivalled the other R family in it’s power and it’s ability to shape society and culture. The sad fact is that the bankers are immensely powerful but lack the ability to steer societies in the right direction. Their disciple Columbus blundered into the Americas. This discovery led to the knowledge that we lived on a finite sphere. In Punto Arenhas in Chile there is a statue of the fellow who first circumnavigated the globe. His name escapes my memory.

Culture I’ll grant the pun in the title is amusing. However the article is simplistic and ignores the historical background. Too much emphasis on intermediaries like the WEF and none on the banksters that rule the world. There is a mention of the destruction of Western “culture”. The term suggests the existing culture has grass roots beginnings and that the population in general had a say in shaping it. This is incorrect. The stem around whic a culture develops is religion. Note that Westerners do not look up to Apollo or Zeus or Thor but to a monotheist God the came out of Palestine and which was forced on the population by Roman emperors Constantine and Theodosius among others. The Slavs only coverted about a thousand years ago and the Danes if I recall only gave in about that time. Likewise with modern culture. Hollyweird has a monopoly on cinema… Read more »
The cosmopolitan ultra-wealthy, and the slaves at the bottom of the pyramid, have no time for religion. The former do dabble in culture for investment and to socialise.
The stem around whic a culture develops is religion. Why would a culture have to develop around a religion? What’s with this obsession with religion, the need for a higher power, an authority to worship, to be governed thereby, to perceive the world through the lens thereof? Religion, or ideology, is a filter between a person and reality, which distorts the perception thereof. Grow some balls and live your life you see fit, without the need for guidance from some alleged god. Also, note that religion is based on pure belief, that is no rational substantiation, which makes it an ideal vehicle for hijacking it and fucking you over. Much more easily than through ideology let alone science, as per convid, because both of these are based on reasoning, as fallacious or erroneous it might at times be. No single -ism is a liberating force. Perhaps some multi-systemism would be.… Read more »
Most Westerners have first names that came out of the bible. Most are baptised in Church. The catholic church runs a sizeable portion of the school system in Australia and presumably many other countries. The pope blessed the clot shot and ordered his employees to submit to it on pain of dismissal. Religion is gradually being phased out but it played an enormous and central role in shaping the Western way of life.
I acknowledge that. I was expressing a general thought.
Religion is a vehicle for control. Standardizing what goes on in the human mind. Making people behave in desired ways. Propped by the carrot of Heaven and stick of Hell.
How would human society be were people’s heads not fucked up by religion? Good question. And in this regard, even complete atheists – such as me – are affected by religion, namely the Christian tradition that constitutes the basis of values, thinking patterns, everything.
What we’re seeing with covid, climate, and the other usual suspects is an effort to foist a new ‘religion’ (scientifism) on humankind to bring them under control, since everybody but the most indoctrinated understand that the God/Devil combo is a crock of shit.
To keep up with other religions, the Catholic Church also provides blessings for vehicles.
The expression “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink” comes to mind vis-a-vis Western culture being a top-down enterprise.
You can try to foist a “culture” on a population. But you cannot force them to accept it. If you doubt that, just look at America’s consistent anti-intellectualism (to name just one example of Western culture). They keep trying to make Americans intellectually savvy; and they keep failing.
No one – and I mean NO ONE – is going to ever tell good ‘ol boys to stop chewing tobacco and start thinking. Banksters included.
Who in America is attempting to force intellectualism on the population? Fake intellectualism, that I will grant you, but our owners have spent generations dumbing down the population, not making it smarter. As for the tobacco chewing “good old boys” being the problem, that too is learned behavior Howard, it is not innate. The banksters will most certainly tell the good old boys to stop dipping chaw when it suits their agenda. For now, they have no problem with that or any of the other dumbed down behaviors they’ve trained Americans, and the rest of the globe as well, to participate in. They trained the population to mindlessly consume, now they want to train it to consume, but in a different way while blaming that trained herd for not changing their consumptive behavior fast enough. As for the good old boys being the only dumb population, I think you know… Read more »
Tobacco was restricted to the Americas until Columbus. It is a global addiction today.
Until capitalism entered the scene, peoples using tobacco, coca and even some forms of opium were managing these substances quite well, even as necessities.
Who is “they”? Have you ever once stepped inside of a public school over the past half century? Trying to make the average person into a “savvy” intellectual is the last thing schools are designed for. One wonders what world you are living in — neither the school system nor the bulk of what the mass media produces is even the slightest bit concerned with trying to develop intellectualism in the masses, nor have they been as long as I’ve been alive. Exactly the opposite is true: most kids in school are quickly segregated, tracked and streamed into a low-ceilinged life path of obeying orders without questioning or thinking for oneself (i.e. Ivan Illich had it right).
And yet in every school there were “nerds” (who were mostly reviled); and “jocks” (who were mostly adored).
Someone studying and seeking insight into the real world never rated as high or earned as much as someone who could hurl a slab of pigskin.
When more people watch, say, a Shakespeare play on PBS than a Super Bowl Game, I’ll gladly renounce everything I’ve ever uttered since I was born.
You don’t have to tell me about the plight of “nerds” in school: I was one of them, I know all about how unpleasant that time of life is. And yet, “jocks” were not necessarily placed on a pedestal just because “nerds” weren’t. It was never that neat and schematic outside of bad, clichéd Hollywood movies. And today, I have far more anger at the system, and the pettily tyrannical defenders of the system, the various sick teachers and administrators and politicians who were far too lacking in self-awareness to be entrusted with the education of the young, than I do for any hypothetical jock. I was one of the nerdy kids, and like every other nerd I know, a good 99 percent at least of what I know I had to teach myself — when I try to recall what I ever learned in class I draw a blank.… Read more »

But both philosophers, basic gramma and Christ teach us to be self neutral, to serve our next, to obtain the purpose with our life.
Thus there is no one personal guilty, neither the sheeple, the Elite, or government other than for ourselves, but ideology.
The ideology is wrong. The systems are the sick and contrary. People are infested with ideology and systems.
The Russians says, ideology (nasism, fascism) is a decease who needs to be cured.
Yuri Bezmenov says ideological subversion is a virus and irreversible when you have been infected by it.
Confucius says manipulated language makes your actions futile.
Thus we are fighting against ourselves when we adapt us to any human created system say ideology, and not to the way our nature and universe function.
Congratulations Sylvia,
In one fell swoop you cover ‘them’ and us with all our various views and complaints.
Also, your language is absolutely fantastic – I enjoy reading every single one of your articles (example: changing just one letter – “Serf’s up” to “Surf’s up” -ingenious).
Finally compliments to your readers and their sophisticated comments. They contribute a lot to your story, eg referrals to ‘Alice in Wonderland’, or “Is reading Offguardian every day a form of self-medication, or a cause of your nightmares ?”
Thank you Sylvia
Feel free to contribute your own ideas too. We all have something non-synthetic to offer to the crowd… 🙂
THank you for your kind words Rolf
Alvin Lee realized in the 1960s that overpopulation was the looming disaster humanity would soon face the song was released in 1971 . The population bomb has now exploded and a global collapse appears to be in progress . The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse have saddled up and have begun what may be their final ride?
You need to qualify the population predicament. It’s not so much an issue of the actual number of earthlings as the fact that the socioeconomic model is unable to provide them with the kind of luxury they aspire to. Everything hinges on energy. The way things work is that not only current energy use keeps growing, but also energy is needed to honor debt, which is none other than energy use shifted to the future. In other words, in order to sustain the current way of life and to grow, way more energy would be needed, but extractability is becoming more difficult. The logic is simple – a) you reduce population and/or b) you reduce living standard and/or c) you find different sources of energy. Option c) would be the best solution, but there simply is no source of energy with the same energy density. Which means that some combination… Read more »
The descent into blame is really the revealing of the underlying ‘world disorder’. Dumping guilt to mitigate unowned or unfaced pain. We use guilt to manipulate self and others – praise and blame. Boom and bust. Self-inflation and addictive dependency. The current framing of ‘humans’ as physically determined and hackable machine-animals is itself a guilting denial of love by which gaslight can project its Big Screen – that is notable for its joyless and hollow parody of life – but for ‘joy’ taken in vengeance, ‘joining’ in hate against the hate target. But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here. ~ Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Unless we recognise our own… Read more »
It may help to cite sources. Which book(s) are the extracts/citations actually from?
Not to reduce any of life’s great mysteries unnecessarily, but it does, at least, contribute to a more honest discussion and also helps to avoid any misguided charges of ‘incoherent psychobabble’ as some ignorant serfs might suggest…
I guessing Gabor Mate. The reference to Hungary Ghosts is also a Buddhist references. Could be Jung hmm
Is reading Offguardian every day a form of self-medication, or a cause of your nightmares ?
Nightmares clearly. Self-medications don’t bring in the rubles…

Crucial moment for pandemic back burners:

“Two Australian schoolgirls die amid surge of flu infections
The recent deaths of two school-aged girls from influenza highlights the danger from a major surge of the virus that is currently sweeping Australia. The profit-driven removal by state and federal Labor governments of almost all public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has created the conditions for mass flu infection, in parallel with the ongoing pandemic.”
I jest of course. It’s a massively embarrassing climb down. Nobody gives a shit about The Big C19 anymore so ….
“Oh fuck it! Just bring the flu back in! Stick in photos of microbes! The public have now been conditioned to panic over pictures of microbes – any microbes! And we’ll pad the rest out with statistics, percentages, and constant repetitions of the word ‘surge’!”
WSWS or Australia’s ABC. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Drifting OT but I very much appreciated Moneycircus’s latest on the topic of the curious resurgence of “nuke porn”. And indeed this raises a phenomenon now exceedingly familiar: the merry-go-round of “Truly Terrifying Threats We Face” each of which is curiously forgettable as it whizzes around the circuit whilst another takes centre stage: https://moneycircus.substack.com/p/crisis-update-oppenheimer-film-pulls Excerpt: “Until NATO and the Ukraine were pitted against Russia (and its allies) we had heard nothing for decades about nuclear brinkmanship. We now have an economic transformation underway, effectively the decline of liberal capitalism (see upcoming article) and, in the simplest words, the wealthy elite desperate to hold onto its wealth by any means. If you think that an exaggeration, look back just over a century: very few understood that at their apparent peak, the British and European empires were already walking dead. The answer was to reshape the world through war — which is… Read more »
The divide (as described) would seem to be between postmodernism [Hopkins] and post-postmodernism [Desmet] A world of powerless serfs vs those in a hypnotic trance (or ‘Mass Psychosis’) “Postmodernism conceived of contemporary culture as a spectacle before which the individual sat powerless, and within which questions of the real were problematised. “ vs (‘post-postmodernism’ here termed ‘pseudo-modernism’) “In place of the neurosis of modernism and the narcissism of postmodernism, pseudo-modernism takes the world away, by creating a new weightless nowhere of silent autism.” The Death of Postmodernism And Beyond – Alan Kirby https://philosophynow.org/issues/58/The_Death_of_Postmodernism_And_Beyond Pseudo-modernism (or ‘Digimodernism’ in Kirby’s related book) would seem to describe the modern world of the Internet better. A world where people walk around in a hypnotic trance, permanently staring at their phones, ignoring the world around them. Serfs at least knew who their masters were, if they bumped into them on the dirt-tracks. That seems to… Read more »
For me it’s not the technology itself that’s the problem, but that so many of us are such good subjects for its hypnotism.
It’s a long time ago that I realized I was not a good hypnotic subject, but I never suspected how many of us are really good subjects…
I thought common sense and a general awareness of reality were born into most of us.
Then the BBC News, “Blue Peter”, youth clubs with trendy, guitar-playing priests, the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Da Vile and Margaret Thatcher arrived…
With the rise of institutionalized idiocy, art and common sense died, along with the ability to see through hypnotism.
I wouldn’t make a good hypnotic subject either. Though I did watch a stage hypnotist a couple of times in my student days.
The fellow student I went with was really into it (indeed he invited me along). He ended up on stage as one of the subjects. I was the complete polar opposite. Did everything in my power to resist being hypnotized. Crossed my legs, folded my arms etc (not that that probably made much difference in retrospect)…
But maybe that also plays into it. Some are actually very keen to hypnotized. Some are the polar opposite and resist with all their might.
Admittedly , the performance itself was pretty remarkable. Saw a guy getting ‘drunk’ on a glass of water, for example.
Apply that globally and “Houston, we have a problem”
The destruction of american/western culture is happening quickly. In fact what is happening IS american/western culture- or rather, it is this culture’s latest plunge into self-destruction in an attempt to FINALLY bring about the final chapter of its narrative- which is of course Armageddon. The generational trauma caused by about 1000 years of terror, slavery and genocide is not healed by materialism and a few decades of pseudo-rationalism. The psy-op based on the Bible and associated “culture” still runs in the West, and both leaders and the people are still under its influence even if they never visit church or talk about religion. It is this same psy-op that gave birth to feudal theocracy which paved the way for feudal technocracy… but more importantly: lobotomised entire generations. Monotheism creates one-track minds which look for single causes to complex phenomena, and are disconnected from the source of all; alienation, insanity via… Read more »
Tribal God versus universal God.
And of course there’s always individual God.
That’s what was new about Jesus’s teaching. It transcends family, duty, clan and tradition, even if it still recognizes the rightful place of those things in the normal course of events.
I take that to mean that personal access is granted to the universal God you mentioned. (Of course it’s a path, not a doctor’s prescription…)
Tribal God is for Old Testament thinking, along with modern military thinking.
Utterly obsolete, although of course there’s no need to reject all the wisdom which is also to be found in those books.
That’s largely what I was implying.
The Old Testament God quoted by RasP is the tribal god of the Hebrew people, but not the Universal (and Personal) transcendent God taught by Jesus.
I lean to a Gnostic view on this, so the former above — Yaweh — is the Demiurge, while the latter is the Monad, nameless and ineffable.
Everyone with an IQ over room temperature know religion for some reason makes people more intelligent than those without.
There is a reason why all countries are filled up with churches and language filled with references to God, Allah, Buddha m.m.
Religion is a spiritual overhead with codes of ethic that makes you human. Without it, you are animal.
Conclusion, your scapegoat is close but wrong.
A woefully inept description of Christianity.
I believe Desmet is slow on the uptake, and too dogmatic once he comes up with a theory.
Most seriously, I don’t think he knows human individuality well enough to distinguish it effectively from ‘mass humanity’.
For him, the whole thing seems to be one abstract lump which might, or might not be separable into distinct portions, and not even necessarily useful to study.
In this case, I have to say I prefer the entertainment value of Ann Elk’s definitive theory:
https://youtu.be/cAYDiPizDIs
We sure can come up with a lot of things that “are not” the solution, but can’t come up with a damn thing as a solution.
All right then, I’m going to blame the janitor at my grandkids’ school. His name is Elmer. It’s Elmer’s fault. Everything.
Jesus. Really?
They’re coming to take our homes, guns, cars, FREEDOM, you name it, and people are arguing about who’s to blame? This Desmet sounds like a supremo obfuscator. He should write another book with Curtin. I have zero interest in what he has to say.
Those that have written down and planned the future of humanity without humanity’s input deserve blame. It is far better this than contrived disparate groups of humanity divided and fighting and blaming each other.
Will you stop this shit already? What’s the point of blaming some alleged wrongdoers who allegedly planned the future of humanity? They’re not fucking humanity themselves? And the rest are some sheeple unable to take care of themselves? How can you be so contemptuous of people and insinuate that they’re helpless, under the control of some alleged others?
What a totally fucked up worldview! What do you think you’re gonna accomplish? Absolute shit!
Let’s hypothetically assume that there are some malevolent individuals intent of fucking others over. What good is blaming them gonna do? Stand up for your rights then, and put a foot to their ass.
I’m sick of this chickenshit, blame-game, self-pitying whining!
Thank you for your comment
Sure, stick your head deeper in the sand and keep whining.
Hopeless!
‘Foot in ass (arse)’
Arse in jail.
End of story.
I appreciate you have a need to vent. Go for it. It matters not to me.
As if it weren’t obvious. Sheeple like you are the reason why I left Canada a while ago.
It’s not so much that your opinions are naive, it’s not so much that you’re unable to argue your point of view if faced with an opposing argument, it’s not so much that you’re unwilling to argue, it’s your arrogant implied attitude that you know better, that it’s beneath you to respond to something that doesn’t conform to your orthodoxy, that you somehow have the high moral ground. You simply shut out anybody who is not corralled in the same pen as you in the great Canadian tradition that prohibits everything but fake sheeplish niceness.
You don’t have a need to vent, eh? So why do you write? Why do you engage with commenters? You need a reassuring pat on the back?
Oh yes. You could very well be right.
“Let’s >hypothetically< assume that there are some malevolent individuals intent of fucking others over"
Which planet or alternate dimension are you visiting from?
Zorg.
There are always people intent on fucking others over. The others fuck them over back or fuck over somebody else.
Your simplistic vision of the world as you (good) against them (bad) is simply a fairy-tale illusion.
Is this a Zorg habit?
The sticking words in people’s mouths that they haven’t said. You approach everything with a predesignated one size fits all argument. Which you then adjust to any that have the temerity to question you or worse not see things exactly as you.
Do you realise you’ve just contradicted yourself? You are not looking for ‘Truth’ or solutions. But to ‘Win’ arguments & say fuck a lot.
Yes, Social Darwinism is a thing. ‘Our’ system has pit us against eachother for the means of survival.
I guess zorglings like to win arguments just like earthlings.
If you take a step back and look at what’s been happening ever since the shit has hit the fan, there is one thread that goes through the narrative pushed and followed by the “alt” community.
Namely, it’s THEM (PTB, Schwab, Kill Gates, blah blah blah) who are doing it to us.
This is clearly bullshit. For instance, convid, whether it was instigated by a single entity or not, has been gleefully propagated by the vast majority of people at all levels. And that was a single event where the perpetrators, if applicable, could be relatively easily identified.
With societal development over centuries, you simply cannot put blame on any identifiable entity.
As if it mattered at all. Who gives a damn about blame!
People need to stop seeing themselves as victims.
Gotta admit, agree with that.
We’ve all been complicit though we might not have wished it.
There’s options to be less entwined in this shitshow. Up to people to take them.
This guy is likely to be the former frequent commenter who claimed to be a musician in eastern Europe. He too was addicted to the 4-letter word.
I tend to blame both “sides”. The evil ones, and those too lazy and cowardly to think and act for themselves.
Imagine the power of we, the people, against the tiny, self-elected ‘elite’.
There are, quite demonstrably, by their own writings and speeches, those in question writing and deciding the future for the rest of humanity, without the input of the hoi polloi. You cant possibly be this ignorant. Would you like some reading material??
Just to be clear, I do “blame” the rich assholes who want to control the world, and they certainly deserve the biggest blame, but I also blame the people who enable them. I blame the pigs and media who do their dirty work. Just to remind you, there were many people who wanted me (and others like me) dead or at least unable to buy food because I did not want to get a fake vaccine. Fuck them, there are always going to be divisions. There is no 99% vs the 1%, that was all bullshit. We’re in a fight for human freedom, and it is not just the “planners” who we’re fighting. “We’re” meaning those fighting for freedom, I don’t know your goals, so I’m not insinuating you with that.
We’re in a fight for what the next historical period will be like.
Many of the challenges addressed by the great resetters are probably real, perhaps not quite the way they present them, but real nevertheless. The socioeconomic system is fucked. Culture is fucked. Civilization is on the verge of collapse, having no meaningful raison d’etre.
There is no viable vision for an organic, freedom-based future that will embody an approach to life that differs from the madness of the past decades/centuries.
There sure are assholes intent on getting ahead, as is always the case. There are zilliards of imbeciles who have no clue, acting as useful idiots for these assholes.
And the few people who are sort of with it are arguing about who’s to blame.
Fucking hopeless.
LOL, ya, but I’m not going to go as far as fucking hopeless, can’t do that. I’ve got kids, grandkids, soon to be great grandkids, and I hate the MFers that are doing this. So I’ll never give up hope of seeing them get their due. Ever heard of Mother Jones? One of my favorites of hers is “You ought to be out raising hell. This is the fighting age. Put on your fighting clothes.”
Anarchism. It’s not just the best solution. It’s the only solution.
But it will be rejected out-of-hand by the vast majority of people, none of whom understand it. It would take too much work to become enlightened, politically and spiritually. So, they would rather sit and watch as society goes down (or up) in flames, with the excuse that there is nothing to be done. Par for the course for the death culture that people have been taught to embrace and has now engulfed us.
Yes, death is inevitable, a part of life. But to allow it to be violently shoved down our throats by a few psychopaths makes no sense. At least not to me.
Anarchy, in the sense of absence of hierarchy, would be a good solution, but it’s a utopian concept because it the prerequisites for anarchy to be maintained, let alone established simply cannot be fulfilled.
For anarchy to function, people would have to be strong individuals possessing and projecting sufficient power to ward off any motherfucker intent on fucking them over – and there will always be such motherfuckers, don’t fool yourself thinking that there won’t – so as to maintain a governance-free existence.
That doesn’t mean, however, that people shouldn’t endeavor to become stronger, more individualist, less dependent on the collective.
First, I didn’t mean to imply that setting up an Anarchist society would be easy. In fact, I think it will be quite daunting, for a variety of reasons. In this context, the question is: would implementing an Anarchist society present more and bigger challenges than trying to survive in the panopticon of the transhumanist authoritarian fascist society that is planned for us? I do agree with you that there will always be bad actors – either individuals or groups – who will try to destroy what others have built. There will always be options to deal with this threat. In fact, I think a society without government may actually reduce the number of people who are acting out their frustrations within the system as it is now. I’m with Albert Anderson (in this thread) when he said, “… hopeless, can’t do that.” But hope without action becomes “hopium” which,… Read more »
I’m totally in favor of a governance/hierarchy-free society – anarchy. I’d say that I personally practice it. I’m as detached from the government as possible.
You gotta be pragmatic, though.
The prerequisite for anarchy is a society of self-confident self-reliant individuals that would first reject the current hierarchical protectionist system. That’s the exact opposite what people now are and where the trend is moving. People are absolutely not ready for anarchy, not to mention that this concept has been discredited and you’d need to come up with a different name. Right new, people would laugh anarchy off.
Could some form of anarchy one day exist? Who knows. But instead of promoting a mirage impossible to accomplish now, it’s better to start by making people more individualistic, self-reliant, self-confident.
Yes, the term “anarchy” has been severely distorted. I suppose I could use the term Voluntaryism, or Mutualism, or Individualism. I’m not sure it would make much difference as it would all come down to basically the same thing.
How does one make another person “more individualistic, self-reliant, self-confident”? These are all characteristics that are inherent in humans but have been buried by political and religious propaganda. Which is why I alluded to a spiritual enlightenment as necessary for a radical change in direction.
As for me, as long as no one seems to be able to present any viable options to get us out of this mess, I (and I’m sure others) will continue preaching the gospel of Anarchism and in this way perhaps I’ll be able to open people’s eyes. Sadly, we’re running out of time and I admit that so far I haven’t been very successful.
We’re both saying essentially the same thing.
I don’t know if the above qualities are inherent in humans. Maybe. But they are, as you say, buried and the trend is the other way.
So, first you have to do the ‘enlightenment’, however that happens, and then anarchy might be possible.
Thinking that some form of anarchy is the immediate solution now is delusional hallucination, as much as I’d like to see something like that happening.
Yes, I think we are saying the same thing. But just for the record, I didn’t state, or even imply, that Anarchy would or even could be an immediate solution.
Who knows? Maybe their dystopic plan will fail in the end. And if it does it will be another fine mess to clean up. At that point the best plan to “build back better” will be Anarchism and we can begin preparing for that scenario right now. But even after all that, whether or not the majority of people would come to this realization remains to be seen.
Spot on Sal.
No gods, no masters.
Rules WITHOUT rulers.
Hell for the hubristic.
There could be a 99% us vs the 1% them, if only we put our individual beliefs and preferences aside to focus on freedom. Ultimately that’s all the divide the 1% are interested in – removing our freedom and controlling everything.
Those that have written down and planned the future of humanity without humanity’s input deserve blame. It is far better this than contrived disparate groups of humanity divided and fighting and blaming each other. … You’re right, dear Syl. And their guilt must be pointed out in the first place, so are important the people who have undertaken this laborious task. For example, since you are Canadian, let us mention one of the people who tirelessly and regularly point out the plans of the great evil players, such as the Canadian patriot and leading critic of transhumanists and eugenists, climate change scammers and plandemics, Bilderberg, the club of Rome, Bis, Wef, Darpa, and all the other “nazi heirs,” as he often describes them: Mr. Matthew Ehret, “Journalist, Artist, Senior Fellow of American University in Moscow”,” as he calls himself in his substack. Under no circumstances would I fail to pay… Read more »
As an avid Ehret fan, wanting to learn more about this event, I took a walk to «Horizon-2100» 2021of the Center for modeling the future. I learned that the event is held with the regular grants of “President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society provided by the Presidential Grants Fund,” the Gorchakov Fund and others. (And, by the way “in 2021, the organizers of the competition will welcome works in which participants will present their solutions aimed at overcoming possible future pandemics and building human resilience to possible future challenges.“) And there, under the tutelage and guidance of the most reputable experts, various Russian and foreign professors, indeed, as Matt well put it, the inspired “young leaders of the future think creatively about the optimistic potentials for humanity.” I recognize that the decisions that the young leaders of the future have proposed have exceeded my expectations,… Read more »
Oops, I’m sorry. I had to stretch a philosophical chew of things long known, repeated for the millionth time, or I had to repeat, also for a millionth time, the well-known facts about the same Roman club, transhumanists, etc., only in relation to the Fallen Western elite, referring to authoritative alt-researchers, if I wanted my comment to be that long. Fully deserved red thumbs, I humbly accept them.
I enjoyed the comment Chuka. It teaches. Always a good thing.
Thanks for this very informative comment. Meaning there is no one defending the human race which everybody are convinced should “be improved”. I am a fan myself of both Matthew and Cynthia, two young very bright people who made a fantastic work and wrapped up our true historical political roots and many hidden agenda’s in the official narratives . But as always when we think finally we found someone who “got it”, we discover they are into the same blind gate. Trans humanism, the cyborg who are lost of spirituality and soul, because they dont need it with their superior “Artificial Intelligence” = False Intelligence, and the crumbs which is necessary is dealt with by copying human behaviour and false emotions. What these trans humanists are doing, is brainwashing the population into infantilization and artificial global threats, whereafter they will “improve” not only the infantilized youth and the now disfunctional… Read more »
That’s right, yes.
All Matt and Cynthia have to do if they want to help, or at least fully inform their listeners and readers, is to fully inform them, not to report the same things from the East and from the west in different ways. Who benefits from this? Certainly not their readers and listeners.
By the way, there is an interesting intensification of transhumanist (or subhumanist) tendencies. For example, here’s the info above: accurate and verifiable, with links. And the info is a bit of a shock compared to what’s known so far. Does it matter who says it? No. But there is. If it were reported by an authoritative author, no doubt it would be different. Well, if that’s not form of subhumanism, then what is it?
Funny:)
Precisely what I also write. Subhumanism or infantilization, people and authority who wants to improve because both do not like who the people really are.
Shame because we are all born unique and dont need to be ashamed.
By the way, there are many things in this thread to which the links is linked (and in the other of my front posts). Some of the very interested things, there are nowhere outside of Russia. Including in the well-known boutique information agency on Russia (you know who). It doesn’t matter why it is, but it is. An this is important things, warranty.
The point is, I’m pretty bad in health, and in a few days, a week, I don’t know what’s going to happen to these threads. Maybe they’ll stay, maybe they won’t. So, if anyone is interested, can read, or/and save, or whatever. Just to say
We must remember Kremlin constantly talk about their “equal partners” and if we in the West dismiss their horny love letters, they will just plagiate and copy us in everything anyway within their own sphere.
He began getting publicity just as the covid super-scam was unravelling. Pointing at the masses without specifying just where they had gone astray and who had misled them. This is more social “science”.
What’s YOUR solution?
Sylvia, your articles are flypaper for nihilists.
Sandy, a fascinating comment – one that leaves a reader begging for an explanation. And as a faux nihilist, I humbly beg.
I’d rather be flypaper for nihilists than crazy-glue for denialists
Just sayin’!
If you want bees to come, you need to have some nectar & pollen to make some ecosystem magic do it’s thing.
The presumption being that I’m looking for bees. I am not. Just a human commenting. Not trying to change the world.
So you like the Establishment’s functionality, the “world”, as it is? Or have no thoughts on how it could be organized and participated within to better serve meeting the social needs of Humanity?
My ideas on that are basically simplistic and do not hold a candle to the ideas we often find here in the comment section from far better and informed minds. I am not one to know the answer. Believe me, if I did, I’d shout it in every piece I write but I have no solutions.I am pretty basic in advice: take care of your family, yourself, your community, plant a garden and buy some rice methinks. The only idea I have is that all those with solutions need to come together in an organized fashion similar to the WEF. Everyone seems to want the glory of saving the world and thats too much ego. I know we have now reached a point where analyzing and/or describing the problem is no longer useful.
As long as we believe each of us somehow inferior to “far better and informed minds” we remain as school children hopium-obedient to some mythical parent class superior human that does not exist. Do you not know the kind of world you would want to live in? “Take care of family, yourself, your community, plant a garden and buy some rice” is practical knowledge and acts that are more intelligent than AI will ever be and more useful than anything a WEF member probably has ever done in their ultra privileged lifetimes. If we apply those exact same take-care-ofs you mention to the design of a society, we are half way to the solutions. You underestimate yourself and Humanity when for some inexplicable reason you and others secede their minds over to an “other” when God gave you a mind just as well as all adults. This idea we are… Read more »
Sandy, i have great faith in your thinking. In the past when I’ve taken on leadership type roles I have a very clear idea of what was needed and how to do it. In this case… nadda. I am unclear on everything. I’m at the point where I can’t even envisage the world I would want. I do think however that human nature eeems to need to blame and the WEF is certainly capable of handling the anger and judgment whereas people fighting each other in proxy is pretty damaging and hopeless and distracting. So I will direct people to the WEF for the inevitable blame until such time as we all grow up. Or they start realizing they aren’t the only people with ideas on the planet. Also. Stop these stupid wars. I am also old and look to the younger people to find their solutions. I don’t understand… Read more »
Syl, you have all the solutions in what you just spoke, but are not seeing it! You do not want war. In the US that desire would be to reduce the Defense, State, HS & Spy departments by 90% and bringing all the troops and Spies home. No more foreign empire. That’s a Policy. We, the 99% can make policy. It is the People’s rights whether UK or US or anywhere. You want yourself, your family, your community to thrive. Policies that actualize that eliminate industrial pollution, create Public Banking with nominal rates and universal access to credit for everyone, with limitations on wealth and poverty. If we just extrapolate from our basic needs the policies that achieve that. We hire implementation technicians to direct existing staff, what used to be 1/7th of employed peoples. What we want, what the bottom 95% want, comes first. We hire government staff to… Read more »
THere you go Sandy. You got it. See what I mean. Now… how do you get all these different people who understand this to come together and make it happen? Therein lies the rub. There are lots of groups. You will tell me of one. Another will tell me of another. There are many talking heads also saying the right things. Meanwhile, the machine that is the WEF keeps on rolling. is it going to be about one movement or about all of them swelling up? I do not know. Do you?
Why is my previous response to Syl “pending”? There is not one link or offensive language.
In a spirit of love, the MC take on the Oppenheimer film, which opens today.
https://moneycircus.substack.com/p/crisis-update-oppenheimer-film-pulls
The first word I thought of when I saw that film coming out was, “propaganda”. I can’t despise those involved, especially the actors, enough. They’re traitors, plain and simple. It’s hard to remember one so obvious. Maybe that one film about the fake killing of Bin Laden.
Thanks. Oppenheimer‘s certainly on my watchlist. And I’d agree. The “film could not be more prescient”.
The world seems ever closer to nuclear war. With the US recently moving nuclear subs to South Korea. And as you write, that virtual lack of social warnings, as to the consequences (unlike like century) is highly disturbing.
The only questions remaining (at least currently) would seem to be who, where and when it will start
The end is near. The end solution.
If only there were evil people somewhere insifiously committing evil deeds, it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being, and who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?– SOLZHENITSYN In defence of Mattias Desmet (in echo of “Potty Mouth the Clown”): with the above quoted from Desmet’s book: Chapter 8 — entitled “Conspiracy and Ideology”; which starts with the simple instructions to draw something called a “Sierpinski triangle” which is a self-repeating fractal patterning; and the admonition to bear that in mind whilst reading. How do you get ~4-5 bn to analogously draw a self-repeating, self-organising, spontaneously-ordered patterning we call civilisation? You don’t know? Well, by doing exactly what you are doing right now. Civilisation does not ‘emerge’ from your self-organising behaviour – it is… Read more »
That’s a lot of words but they are navel gazing. There is nothing spontaneous about “civilisation”- it is fundamentally opposed to spontaneity and it is patently neither natural nor “emergent”. It is enforced.
The etymolgy of the word itself is revealing.
Most likely you will retort with “everything that exists and happens is natural” which would be yet another pointless word exercise- what is natural is not defined by words but by direct experience and feeling.
How can there be something “not natural” ? That is what we might call the side effects of the singularity which is life on this planet….. and the human calling is to deal with those before we can really live.
I do not know you, you do not know me: but we share in the same activity — as does everbody else…. So how do we know what to do in our decentralised activity? I was born, educated, and trained to do a specific task which I chose to do and I perform my own actions at every stage of my life — and so do you…. and by extension: so does everybody else. (Caveat: I’m writing from a First World perspective; I’m not extending this to the Third World; they are good enough to extend us this privilige.) I do my bit (I actually was a builder); you do your bit, everybody else does their bit — and civilisation gets built. So who controlled all the activity? You and me, or somebody else enforcing you? Desmet is absolutely right and CJs phantasising ‘globocap.’ ‘Globocap’ is you, me, and everybody… Read more »
I can explain civilisation for ya.
Instead of being our own carpenter, doctor, engineer, musician, plumber, m.m. we specialize us into each our discipline to cooperate into become a more effective society.
Civilisation creates big classic music orchestras, priests who specialises in religion, Physicians who can do complicated surgery, Architects who build monumental buildings, etc.
This is called civilisation.
RE “There is nothing spontaneous about “civilisation”- it is fundamentally opposed to spontaneity and it is patently neither natural nor “emergent”. It is enforced.”
That’s not just mere “navel gazing” but wallowing in deep fantasies about real reality.

We the people of the world are at war, and have been at war, for centuries with TPTB. Most just didn’t know of or see the war. The War on Pollution The War on Climate The War on Drugs The War on Terrorists The War on Viruses We the people of the world are the pollution, climate,users, terrorists and virus. The idea that we the people of the world must accept austerity for the “good of the earth”, is just a variation of collectivism. The idea that we the people of the world must die by the billions to save the one. Anyone suggesting that the people of the world are responsible, when we are essentially at the bottom of the power and decision making totem pole, is ignorant or complicit with TPTB.

For the record, I’d like to say that whoever are Thomas’ “We the People”, I am not a member of that subset of people.
I’m Potty Mouth the Fucking Clown and I wish to be part of no group of some people. In fact, I don’t particularly care if I’m people at all. Especially if Thomas is him the people.
So Thomas, next time you refer to “You the People”, kindly append a mention that the said people exclude Potty Mouth the Fucking Clown, just to make sure that nobody thinks that I’m a member of your deranged cult. Thanks in advance, cowboy!
I strongly doubt anyone cares enough to put it on the record.
LOL.
Right, anyone that doesn’t prescribe to your worldview is in a cult.
See you down range.
You probably meant “subscribe”, but words got in the way …
Happens to you all the time, no biggie …
This is the definition of prescribe:
intransitive verb
To set down as a rule, law, or direction.
To order the use of (a medicine or other treatment).
To establish rules, laws, or directions.
This is the definition of subscribe
intransitive verb
To pledge or contribute (a sum of money).
To sign (one’s name) at the end of a document, especially to attest to or authenticate it.
To sign one’s name to (a document) in attestation, testimony, or consent.on of subscribe
I will assert that based on these definitions, my use of the word prescribe is more acceptable, based on context, than subscribe.
So you’re the one confused about words. No one mentioned money or signing any documents. Next time you want to deflect your lack of intellect ,with what you think is proper work usage, look in the mirror first.
You’re still not going to make it.
As an impartial reader, subscribe is the more accurate word.
subscribe(səbˈskraɪb)
vb
1. (Banking & Finance) (usually foll by to) to pay or promise to pay (a sum of money) as a contribution (to a fund or charity, for a magazine, etc), esp at regular intervals
2. (Law) to inscribe or sign (one’s name, etc) at the end of a contract, will, or other document
3. (foll by: to) to give support or approval: to subscribe to the theory of transubstantiation.
Thomas, you could say prescribe a worldview, but you can’t say prescribe to a worldview.
Anyway, no biggie, as I said. Maybe you were thinking of watering the tree of liberty, too busy worrying about words.
This is the Webster’s Dictionary definition of Prescribe.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prescribe
This is the Webster’s Dictionary definition of Subscribe.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subscribe
I will assert again, you fail at word usage and comprehension.
Using another account to try and back yourself up is lame.
The Tree of Liberty is to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots from time to time, to maintain freedom and liberty. Obviously your blood is in the tyrant / peasant category.
You still aren’t going to make it.
Well, I’m a Gemini and there are many me’s.
I can’t imagine living such a boring life as yours, as Thomas Frey, the refresher of the tree of liberty.
As per PMtC, who drew the operative distinction:
“Thomas, you could say prescribe a worldview, but you can’t say prescribe to a worldview.”
Your meaning and intent are clear in context, but prescribe is the wrong word.
All the toxicity you mention has an end product – and that product is, sad to say, the lowly ones at the bottom of the power chain who partake of the fruits of said toxicity.
Cast everything TPTB offer as “progress” into the flames and the top layers of the power chain will go away – to fight another day, in another way.
The only ones who never “align themselves with TPTB” inhabit graveyards. The living are plagued by the twin pillars of “civilization”: needing and wanting.
To the list above we could add “War on the elites”, and that also constitutes a war against our own culture/civilisation. Solzhenitsyn also says the corrupting element of power is emergent unless the leaders are subservient to God.
The criticism of Matthias Desmet was by Moneycircus, who was once but never again published on Off-Guardian – for reasons that were never explained.
Anywhoo… the article is here

Yes, “we’re” here due to an accumulation of coerced decisions that extend before many of our lifetimes. How ‘we’ proceed now is soo key. Especially, if the intention is to scupper the parasites preferred outcome. Though they appear to be content with capturing 30/40% of the Western population & criminalising the rest. Homesteading & getting out of cities, if able, is still such an important option to take. Volunteer, offer any skill you possess or are willing to learn. If one’s intention is to enjoy your remaining time here ok, yet feel that is it really possible to do that with a clear conscience unless ‘you’ also help people decouple/escape. To decouple from “modern” society & starve the beast, as to show it can be done, will hopefully prove an inspiration to others. “Resistance is Feudal” the late great Alan Watt.

To which I always ask what do you do with 8 million people in New York City? However, that said, I agree.
There is a choice. There’s many people offering shelter & food to people, in Europe, for a pre arranged volunteering agreement. To assist on people’s land. Be it restoration projects or picking fruit & veg to looking after livestock.
So if people want to stay or can’t afford to leave cities, it’s understandable. But there’s options for those unable to afford a farm.
The choice is based on what do you truly value? Living in these open air asylums or returning to source & pursing an autonomous life style. I’ve chosen so perhaps I’m biased. The mentality out here is far better than the manic vibe in major cities.
I advise anyone to leave cities asap
Leave the city. Move to some banana republic, the less advanced (meaning advanced on its way down the tubes) the better.
If you miss the city, which the city boy in me sometimes kinda does, go for a short visit and the pure phantasmagoria there will assure you that you’ve made a good choice by getting the fuck out.
Fuck me! Is that agreement lol.
I don’t miss it. Been lucky enough to see a far bit of this world. I like this way of life. But it’s the tech now that I want to shed at some point.
Also, I believe you misinterpreted my comment & imagine I’ve some sort responsibility, somehow, unbeknownst to myself, over 8 million New Yorker’s.
They’ve the right to bear arms, they’ll work it out eventually. If they can stop killing eachother that is.
I think these “elites” are as helplessly and hopelessly caught in the grip of what might be called The Universal DNA as the lowliest beings in the food chain (that would be gnats!). They do what “elites” have been programmed to do since humanity began its march to “civilization,” which is to slowly destroy civilization. Every species is pre-programmed for extinction. “Oh not us!” many humans will insist. Each species does everything it’s wired to do; and all of it leads inexorably to its own termination. The “proof” (since way too many consider that quaint notion relevant) lies in the simple fact that even when it’s repeatedly pointed out the absolute folly of, e.g., things like climate engineering, which is destroying the planet’s life support systems – the folly still continues unabated. Nobody really wants to stop it or to even know how to stop it. They think they do,… Read more »
Great Comment.
I just wish they were “helplessly caught”…
To me they don’t seem anywhere near panicky and desperate enough…
Personally, I don’t go with the “every species is pre-programmed for extinction” thing either. The reason is that we have a unique quality as a species: The ability to recognize our own ability to choose, regrettably along with our potential for self-extinction due to making inappropriate choices. Other animals certainly become extinct, but in their case the matter is taken out of their hands. Also, one or two unhinged or abnormal specimens of an animal group are not generally going to bring down the entire species. Today, it is generally man’s existence which threatens other species, as well as himself, but then there is always the potential for evolutionary change: Given the vast time-scales in which anthropologists generally work, man surely doesn’t always have to look, or behave the way he does today? And then there is the non-physical aspect to our existence as a species. Whatever I can prove,… Read more »
The great mystery of instinct wardropper?
As with Love.
No thinking required.
With serious matters, I reckon thinking is always required, but it’s also nice to have an OFF switch for occasional use – just to prevent overload… 🙂
Crocodiles and related species did not get the memo on extinction. Also, microbes are evolving all the time: that is or is not extinction, as you wish.
The thing that absolutely places the “elites'” helplessness in cement is their stunning ability not to see how they’re as much playthings of reality (the real reality – not the reality they create) as the lowliest amoeba.
Their great power and wealth is very much akin to Sisyphus endlessly pushing the boulder uphill only to have it roll back down each time.
Some people blaming everything on an elite is supposed to be similar to the masses who fully supported gov actions during the lockdowns?
Either there are not responsible elites or its not everything?
Whatever, they pass laws prepared years before in anticipation of manufactured events and any and all opposition is met with extreme violence. None of that is some unreal psychology.
The point is to move beyond such a simplistic analysis (not yours).
Those who bog down the debate in: there is a one world government, all countries are in on the game, but there’s no such thing as the Great Reset (the same gambit that Antifa etc are spontaneous and unorganised)… are prima facie inconsistent.
But read around here… you will see just such a line.
My conclusion (only mine, as a freak) is that the “alt” media that purvey such inconsistencies are not alt.
One of the more irritating aspects of the last covid farce was how the ambulances would make siren noises as they careered up and down the High Street. Of course these vehicles were usually empty and those terrified inside were shitting themselves, ”Oh dear we’re dooooomed”! The police were in on it as well. We got used to it pretty quickly though and just ignored the bullshit.
There were also those masked true-believers who had got themselves kitted-out with those welders masks when they were on sale:- yours for £95. Money down the drain or what?
Same here, in the Netherlands there are still lots of sirens, from police, ambulances and fire trucks. They started turning them on at night, even 3AM in a densely populated area. There’s constant patrols of helicopters.
I was cycling on a rural road with no other car in sight and an ambulance came by with sirens on. Never seen anything like it before.
Nazgul dementers – uncouple the sound from its previous meaning.
The 3 AM timing may be deliberate. Many of those who go to sleep at 10-12 may then be beginning the dream state. That could be an ideal time to introduce such a potentially alarming stimulus.

This is a tricky debate to settle conclusively. Ultimately we are collectively responsible for the situation we find ourselves as we all went along with the plans that led us here, on the other hand decades of manipulated situations propaganda and powerful psychological techniques were utilised by leaders to drive the unwitting masses in the direction they wanted. Perhaps a binary answer is incorrect, and that it’s the case that we are all guilty, though some are more culpable than others. At the end of the day finding someone to blame is futile and achieves nothing, or efforts would be better spent finding solutions to the problems we face. That may include finding ways to stop the few from herding the masses like sheep.
Precisely. Gotta look to the future, not to the past. And even if there were one identifiable motherfucker guilty of the deep shit the world is in, which there isn’t because it is the result of humankind’s collective actions, what would it solve to point the finger at him?
It would solve nothing.
So you think the trajectory of the world is just a coincidence caused they the collective actions of all people, resulting in unintended consequences?
Do you view yourself as a “Coincidence Theorist”?
What other things / events in life follow your theory of unintended consequences in nature?
Do you think a Tornado can run through a junkyard and create a functional machine?
Do you think poems and music can write themselves into juxtaposition to form a song?
The trajectory of the world is not coincidence, but result of all the actions hitherto carried out by all the people in conjunction with phenomena occurring in their habitat.
I don’t view myself as nothing.
The rest of your babble is hallucinatory phantasms that I cannot respond to because I have no idea what you’re talking about. Try to focus on the subject matter.
Music ain’t it, not to mention that you know shit about it.
So how many people, not corporations, not members of a corporation, not government, do you know of that have spilled tons of chemicals into waterways? Caused 1000s of acres to burn? Designed a faulty EV that is likely to explode if in an accident? Controls your access to food? Controls your access to utilities?
Do any of your neighbors set the prices for utilities in your neighborhood?
Does anyone you know, decide how many illegal immigrants get to land on your shores and take possession of housing at taxpayer expense?
Do you know anyone personally that has by policy destroyed energy production for your place of residence?
So you are just something, nothing specific, because you have zero moral convictions?
Yes, questions are hard to understand for the intellectually dishonest, and disingenuous.
No one’s knowledge of music was questioned or asserted.
Try harder at not deflecting.
What’s this rant now supposed to mean, man? Individual people obviously don’t have the power collectives of people do. But collectives are composed of people.
BTW, I do know some people who make the kind of decisions you allude to. So what?
Anyway, try to refrain from mixing apples with oranges and adding copious amounts of piss and shit in there for a good measure.
I didn’t ask if people are collectives or if collectives are made of people.
Your failed circular logic is noted.
How are “the collective people” responsible for governments and corporations spilling millions of gallons of waste and or chemicals into waterways, or destruction of our environment by other means?
Try hard.
You are a descendant of illegal immigrants.

Good advice, Mish. That’s what I try to do … once I’ve had enough of the doom-and-gloom.
Or perhaps it’s karma. Look down instead of up for once, to people who have it worse than we do. We all cheer for extra rules and controls for those lazy immigrant bums on welfare.
That attitude mirrors how people above us see us. For the elites, we are the lazy local salaried bums that must be punished with rules and controls.
Well… not all of us cheer for extra rules for immigrant bums on welfare… but I see your point. We are the mooing herds.
My, “Immigrant bums on welfare”. Are you an Inuit or Inuk Mrs Shawcross?

Let me debunk a few of the deluded statements in the text: The people did not create the situations that caused them to react the way that they have. That was mostly orchestrated. Who exactly are aforementioned “the people”? There are some people other than people? The current situations are the result of all the goings-on in the past, perpetuated by all the people. Efforts to blame some “people” who foist their nefarious will on other “people”, i.e. seeking somebody to blame, is pure bullshit. There are no such people to be blamed and, more importantly, it matters not because looking for them will solve nothing. Get it through your head once and for all.

What we have on our hands is a system people have developed over the past few centuries mainly thanks to the discovery of high-density energy, which has facilitated and driven unprecedented growth and development. It all started basically in good faith, the energy was used to free people from manual labor, everyday drudgery. As time went on, however, the purpose has morphed from freeing people from hard labor to providing luxury all the way to today’s unbridled consumerist binge, where people produce and consume totally useless shit for the sole purpose of satiating their hunger for dopamine generated by the momentary pleasure from acquiring a new gadget. In the mad quest for yet another useless piece of shit, for having more than thy neighbor, the economic/financial system has been thoroughly fucked up, the cost (energy) of today’s consumption shifted to the future through debt, all sorts of other pathological phenomena.… Read more »
You are nothing more than a peasant that can’t wait to live on your knees sucking on the royal teet.
You probably meant teat but the pesky spelling got in the way again.
Maybe you could reform the English orthography once you’re done quenching the thirst of the tree of liberty.
Teet is considered an alternative spelling to teat.
Just like Grey and Gray are both considered correct spelling.
Pointing out phonetical spelling isn’t an argument and only proves that you have no argument and thus resort to attempting to be a grammar nazi.
You fail at trying.
I don’t think it is, but you’re right – there is no orthography as fucked up as the English orthography with the exception of the French orthography.
Why don’t you address that and reform your language to make it (more) phonetic?

This is where Professor David Greabers suggestions come to mind agaaaain.
He proposed a planetary debt cancellation as one of ‘our’ demands & a reduction in the working week to 4 hour days & possibly a guaranteed 5 month vacation ( yeah I know) He believed it would change people’s concept of what value creating labour might actually be.
“The morality of debt and morality of work, are the most powerful ideological weapons in the hands of those running the current system. That’s why they cling to them as they are effectively destroying everything” Professor David Greater. Democracy Project, Page 289.
Mr Frey you make many many valid points sir. But, for a man of God you seem to want to kill an awful lot of people.
Romans12: 17-19
There is such a thing as righteous killing.
When TPTB are planning nefarious events to murder and harm others, it is our responsibility to take out the garbage.
If people decided to invade your home, and you were armed, would you not defend your home and kill if you have to?
The commandment is Thou Shall Not Murder. Defending yourself, property and others, is not murder.
Yes agree, self defense is called for under such circumstances, absolutely.
Also, to complicate matters, ‘if’ world governments were engaged in democide then the same rules should apply.
But you’ve also wanted to hang the potty mouthed zorgling from a tree. That doesn’t quite fit the scenario you’ve presented.

In other words, you’re pissed off about your life and need somebody to put blame on.
Try to figure out what? You dogmatically think that there is one answer, one solution which, if applied, would bring the ‘end of history’.

I found PMtC’s reply clear and has more depth than you deign acknowledge; and I don’t see the “elevated terminology” you’re referring to, and the description given is more accurate – and needs not be expressed in technical terms to be accurate – than what economists could come up with using “elevated terminology”, as the trick is to capture the whole picture.

But what does any of it mean? “spontaneously organizing order” means what? Stuff happens. Is it “spontaneously organizing”? Well it all fell together somehow. Some consciously, some unconsciously etc. The tribal became the agricultural became the feudal etc. And already I’ve said more than Potty Mouth. But how far back do you want to go? Do you want to trace the whole thing? Potty has no intention of doing that. He just spouts this to say in effect that “stuff happens and it’s all… Read more »
If there is nothing to comment, best not to comment.
The issue here is BLAME in the sense of US against THEM. That’s a false dichotomy.
The rest of your hallucinations is beneath my dignity to comment. If you can’t accept that other people have different views than you, then go fuck yourself.
And you can address your last sentence to yourself.
I didn’t interpret it that way, as a fatalist view. Just the realisation that our lives with its social and economic contents are moved by their own inertia seemingly random (it isn’t). Isn’t that true? Isn’t it true that each one of us acts in different directions as if independent from the rest, but all however subjected to the power of capital? A hive mind would be a short way to express it and that’s the gist of PMtC’s message as I understood it. There is a strong feeling of powerlessness (not fatalism) as to the possibility of getting out of this by exerting some “external force”, or through the usual ways of voting, etc, the whole thing leaning on centuries of repetition of the same mindset. We must agitate for change, sure, but we have to be wary of anyone flashing magic solutions before us as there isn’t any… Read more »
Beats me why anybody would extrapolate fatalism from the aforesaid.
It’s a simple observation that things generally move in the direction where the strongest force is applied. A simple physical phenomenon.
So Frank sorry Jacques what you’re saying is there is no one to blame as it is our own fault that we find ourselves in this position? But it is the totalitarianists (shittists) that are causing “shit” for the rest of us not because they are truly evil but benevolent? No matter what pseudonym you use your nonsense can be spotted a mile away because it literally makes no sense and you contradict yourself all the time. The only consistent message you like to spout is “resources are running low and the Elites are only doing their best to maintain order!” You’re such a naive dickhead I actually feel sorry for you – sometimes I wish you were trolling because of the amount of effort you put in but alas you take yourself deadly serious don’t you?you poor soul. No doubt you’ll skulk away again because people are getting sick… Read more »
Now, you’re blaming some Jacques or Frank or whatever for voicing an opinion, for not croaking the same shit as you.
Blame, fault, blah, blah, blah … How does that solve anything?
Yeah, some people are more capable at doing something, others less, and the former take advantage of that. Everybody does that all the time. You do it too. Competition, natural selection.
What the fuck do you want? A communist-like world where everybody is the same in all regards? Isn’t that what the Great Reset technocracy aims to do?
I thought I’d read his crud before. He’s been posting under multiple names.
Ah! God bless the ad hominems! They’re ever so helpful when one wishes to dismiss an argument as “nonsense” but has no evidence to support said dismissal.
The fact is, NONE of this tyranny would be happening if the rank and file of humanity did not permit it.
Does anyone seriously believe .000001% of the 8 billion people on Earth can dictate everything that has ever, does ever or will ever happen?
Ah! Now I see a pattern: ad hominems are cover for delusions. Very clever. Very clever indeed.
The people, or at least that part of the general public which I call ‘The Moron Classes’ are the ones to blame for all this. No matter how many times they are lied to (and indeed shown that they have been lied to), and treated like idiots, they will always vote these psychopaths back into power. It’s unfortunate that the moron classes make up the majority of the population, as it means the rest of the thinking population are just along for the ride. This is just the nature of the species we belong to, and the same thing has played out throughout history. Psychopaths are the ones who have the ruthless ambition to claw or kill their way to the top, and along their journey they learn that the easiest thing to do is to fool a fool. This is why TV programs are so dumbed down, it’s to… Read more »
“We won’t be ranting about pronouns when we’re all called comrade or “hey you serf.” At least there will be that”….yes some things are worth looking forward too!
The entitled woke generation are in for one hell of a shock..
I’m not sure about that Paul. I’m thinking they have been conditioned to believe and/or accept and/or actually promote all this…. and will be ready to live it. It is hard to know from our perspective that is so different.
They are brainwashed by a satanic ideology.
Once they have no cash, job, locked down in fifteen minute cities, eating bugs, no holidays etc it won’t matter what bloody pronouns someone is using..
And maybe younger generations (Z, Alpha, Beta…) will have so absorbed the zeitgeist that they will not even feel anything unusual. They might like it. Then, too, virtual, biotechnological, and chemical miracles are expected to be widespread, so that the then Young may live in the synthetic world of miracles while they are physically in the kingdom of the Beast. Who knows…
They may discover that “just because they’re down with the ‘Cause’ doesn’t mean the ‘Cause’ is down with them,” and they may learn it good and hard.
You know, Syl, I think their conditioning has given them no preparation for reality at all, since that conditioning has gone into such exotic realms. If utter tyranny ever gets an obvious foothold on our society, I think they will, as Paul says, be shocked out of their minds. Perhaps in fact nothing else could really wake them up as well as a shock like that. Somewhat related to this is a comment made by Jordan Peterson about living – in denial, of course – in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic monster. When asked about the cure for such denial, given that all a person’s best friends have already, unsuccessfully, told them that they have to get out of there, he said that usually the only thing that might make such a victim aware of the frightful reality which everybody but themselves can see, is a life-experience equivalent to… Read more »
To be honest, I’m terrified for these generations. But then I try and understand that what we had is gone and they have an entirely different reality to cope with and perhaps they “will” do it better than we could. They don’t seem to have the same needs and maybe don’t need the same tools. I dunno. I really don’t know.
Very reasonable doubts and contemplations. No, I don’t know either. I just have the feeling that if we can understand at least something of the way people used to think a few thousand years ago – and I think we can, if the Scriptures mean anything at all – then we ought to understand something of what is coming in the next generation or two. But, like you, I’m not sure I can do that any more. Perhaps one hope for the future is knowing that evil leadership has always arisen from time to time, yet it submerges just as often. For me, it’s become a personal question mark, and I hope other individuals can “self-identify as themselves” sufficiently well to find their own personal question marks. Goodwill leaves its traces too, and I’m learning to recognize them through the chaos. One little clue I’ve found is this: The good… Read more »
Well said wardropper. Reading Hayek’s book The Road to Serfdom now. Feels doomy. But that might just be my mood.
If utter tyranny ever gets an obvious foothold on our society
The incremental tyranny is already firmly in place and irresistable. This is the “boiling frog” principle.
Yep.
What I meant was when it gets so obvious that everybody has noticed it.
I understand the frogs do actually hop out of the water before it gets too hot, by the way, and, in any case, we ain’t no frogs… 🙂
That’s a good explanation for the end goal of identity politics. Problem; hatred of others that identify themselves differently to us. Solution; we all have to adopt a homogeneous uniform identity.
We have an identity male and female, period.
Satanic ideology creating divison and hatred.
It’s not really hatred in most cases; it’s preference for those who are most like ourselves.
It’s logical to have a healthy distrust of the financially obese, because it is an unnatural imbalance indicating that something is off… like a disease. So the “rules for thee but not for me” Technocracy world they are trying to install has already failed… again. Technocracy was rejected in the 1930’s when it first originated. Back then, the mere idea of it was off-putting. Now we see it in glorious, off-putting techno-color!

WHO Has Been Bought By Predatory Billionaires
A very interesting article thanks.
Maggie, there IS an alternative:
Can the US Re-Industrialize?
“Now, the banks do not really help industrialize the economy. They actually help de-industrialize the economy, because their philosophy is anti-labor and post-industrial. So how do you explain to people that it’s not necessary, for instance, for the governments to abandon public planning, and leave planning to the financial sectors? If the governments don’t do economic forward planning, Wall Street and the financial sectors will do it, because that is where credit is created.”
