WATCH: A Plague of Saints – Lessons from Alan watts
JR Leach’s latest video, based on his article from earlier this year.
“In contemplating the propaganda of the past, one cannot help but wonder why recognizing similar patterns in contemporary narratives proves so challenging to so many people. The impulse to improve the world, driven by a zealous desire to fix perceived wrongs, paradoxically leads to the destruction of the very world one aims to improve – just as much now as ever.
As the digital landscape continues to summon legions to innumerable crusades—any and all perceivable societal ills, be they stoked by religious propaganda, nationalist propaganda or any propaganda you care to mention—the result is always the same.
We’re making all the same mistakes. We can see the tyrannies and propaganda of yesterday and condemn it as heinous, as downright evil—and yet, rarely do we see it in today, nor, often, in ourselves.”

Alan Watts was an Operative of the Empire, the British Empire to be specific. He attacked the U.S. population, mostly the youth, with his re-worked Eastern mysticism, which he interpreted and re-wrote in the Aristotelean tradition that empires have used for thousands of years to destroy the traditions, beliefs, religions and coherence of peasants, slaves and the colonized. He is a piece of shit. As a young man I thought he was brilliant, since I was a young American peasant lost in a stew of ignorance, with gurus such as Watts awaiting anyone searching for answers to the chaos and failure of my conquered culture, nation, family, etc. Watts communicates in loops, with little, clever thoughts that tantalize, but are all meaningless. He is a priest of nothingness, which is his mission for the British Empire and its viceroys in its colonies; once one believes in nothing, one is inherently receptive to the cults of the Empire. The same is accomplished via university cults at Oxford, Cambridge, every British college and at most “elite” universities in the U.S., if not all of them, in 2024. Steal the children from their elders was the Operation in the 1960’s and after in the U.S. Watts, Leary, Manson, Deadheads, hippies, gurus of all types, and the synthetic Empire Religion sold by Maurice Strong (U.N Grand Poobah) on behalf of Viceroy Rockefeller began the “New Age” bullshit religion that is pervasive in my home, and everywhere, now. Watts was a key to that. Keep Alan Watts out of your mouths and out of your minds. This article should be deleted. Thank you. I love the rest of your work.
Question: has OffG again initiated the security check before admitting readers/commenters to the site? Or is it just those (like me) who don’t toe the line and, therefore, must surely be bots? For how could any thinking human possibly see things not first seen by the prevailing ideology?
Hmm, not sure what you’re seeing (perhaps you could elaborate?), but you’re certainly at liberty to not toe the line here, rest assured. 🙂 A2
Your site now “verifies” if one is human. One must check the box and then wait for verification.

Teachers “forced” to give sex education to kids due to the ubiquitous availability of porn. The only ones who object are apparently Islamic fundamentalists. Presumably Christians are OK with teaching kids about arse fucking. And the Groovy Left will give practical demonstrations.
Muslims (or ultra-radical conservative female oppressing Islamic fundamentalists) are much better than their Western reputation.
“Apparently” is a relevant word in a propaganda-filled environment such as ours. Christians in America have become so famous (infamous) for objecting to the parade of outrages in public schools for so long that a number of us finally woke up and put into practice to command to live separate and home school.
2Co 6:14-18 NHEB 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What agreement has Christ with Beliar? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 Therefore, “‘Go out from their midst, and be separate,’ says the Lord, ‘and touch no unclean thing,’ and I will receive you. 18 And I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord of hosts.
“Presumably” is a relevant word in a propaganda-filled environment such as ours. Christians in America have become so famous (infamous) for objecting to the parade of outrages in public schools for so long that a number of us finally woke up and put into practice the command to live separate when possible and home school. I really in websites like Off-Guardian to find out what we’ve avoided.

Allan Watts was one of these spacey twats..I thought he was dead( I was 20)…Great background subtle echo…I think the real situation is even worse than you describe. Democracy is done, stolen and paid for by the most evil richest corrupt psychopathic parasites ever to infect the human race. The difference now is that it is almost totally worldwide, and almost all morality, compassion, and empathy has gone, together with what seems an unassailable level of propaganda and brainwashing causing division and distrust, at every level in society. It seems to me, impossible to vote your way to a better alternative, such that the future is likely to be one of massive collapse, depopulation, chaos, and despair – much like the real situation in Ukraine, Palestine, Haiti, Darfur, Rwanda, Cambodia, etc. China.
“The Chinese Communist Party launched numerous movements to systematically destroy the traditional Chinese social and political system. One of Mao’s major goals was the total collectivization of the peasants. In 1958, he launched the “Great Leap Forward” campaign. This act was aimed at accomplishing economic and technical development of the country at a faster pace and with greater results. Instead, the “Great Leap Forward” destroyed the agricultural system, causing a terrible famine in which 27 million people starved to death.”
Jabs have killed 33 Million in the USA alone.
It is ironic that the three prolific chocolate makers in UK, Rowntree, Fry and Cadbury were quaker philanthropîsts who did a great deal to lift people out of abject poverty and the deplorable living conditions at the time. Supplying decent housing, improving living and working conditions and initiating prison reform.
Now, their companies play a major role in shrinkflation, one of the meanest tricks in marketing.
Innit marvelous !
Investors (transnational capital) look for trusted brands to subvert.
If a chocolate bar could find a way to kill a man, would you still promote its use
I refuse to make chocolate into a problem!

PS on the Simmons sound: Although the song’s lyrics, melodies and chords are rather limp and below average, the concise drum programming (probably from Held), enriched with all kinds of reverse and echo effects, brings out even more than is actually there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiFF8ceu7zo
Aha: “SCAREMEISTER”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCqqGQBRDsQ
About the mental caliber of “Styxhexenhammer666”.
There can be no doubt that a freak like him is “scary” in a rather indecent way, but whether he can already boast of “mastery” is very much in doubt. However, he is allowed to call himself Bullshitmeister with our express German permission. “Hello mutants, how is the mud?” (Alleged quote by Foxx, which the interviewer rightly feels personally addressed.)
The yuppie glasses are intended to upgrade the trisomy factor to hipness, so to speak. Our energy is either directed towards willfully and deliberately maneuvering ourselves into the sidelines, damaging or destroying ourselves or courting the genetic waste of our race with money, applause, care and attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqud_PcAxXo

“Don’t take things personally”
Hmmm…
Yes, I do have a problem with that.
When my government try to force me to have an experimental procedure and restrict my movementxs when I resist. Then they even restrict the movement of those who complied.
When they send the younger generation to kill foreigners for profit and plunder.
When they try to coral me into a 15 minute utopia.
When they import an alien army into our midst to destroy our culture,
When they are about to take control of my spending and social habits……..
Call me selfish but, yes, I bloody well do take it personally.
MY Government ? That’s not the way it works.
I didn’t chose them but I can’t escape the fact that what they do affects my life.
It’s a bit like saying ” my prison officer”
That’s actually the opposite of taking it personally, you’re angry in behalf of others not yourself. Not taking things personally doesn’t mean not caring about injustice, it means not personally identifying with your beliefs and getting unreasonable about it and refusing to face facts that contradict what you believe. You’re conflating two totally different things
All of the things that I mention affect me personally, either directly or indirectly and , as I said, call me selfish if you like because what I care about is what happens to me……………………………Personally.
In the theme from the movie “Sparta” Leonides ask the gnome who want to join the heroes to raise his shield. The gnome cant.
Saying the gnome jeopardize 4 professional Warriors around him in a battle who get a vulnerable side and cant count on him. Because he cant raise his own shield. Protect himself.
Thus the gnome cannot participate in the battle, why the gnome responded by betraying the whole group to Xerxes. Because the gnome was only concerned about himself……..personally.
Same rule for Captains of a ship.
You know those Captains who leave the ship first in a life saving boat……all alone.
“Row row, away away from the sinking ship”.
Because he only cared about what happened to himself …….personally.
That is exactly how you are ‘fitted’ to a control matrix.
However the illusion of freedom of persona is an exhilerating roller coaster ride…until it isn’t and you cant or wont get off – being such a deeply invested stakeholder in the system of rules extended from terms & conditions?
I don’t mind living within a set of rules in a “what have the Romans done for us” type way.
Without rules there would be none of the luxuries that I enjoy today and want to continue enjoying.
But when the rules are crazy and the majority elect to keep them in place and even impose even more crazy rules, short of packing up all my stuff and living a precarious, dangerous existence in a cave or a dump of a van on the roadside how do I get off this thing ?
You can live in your anarchic paradise if you like but I prefer a pub and a supermarket where I can use money to buy things rather than fight for scraps.
I own my house “freehold” yet if I rebel and refuse to pay my council tax I will be pursued in court with the threat of confiscation of goods or gaol.
I can’t persuade the majority of the people in our “representative democracy” that a change is needed because they are idiots.
So what do I do ?
You could attempt to understand they have no lawful authority, never did, then spread the word to your neighbors and friends. About their plans to take back that freehold and leasehold under the Great Reset.
You don’t have allodial title. The privately owned corporations you call councils, courts and governments can and will use rising taxes and legislation to take the land back that they hold the allodial title and deeds to. Uncovering the lies and spreading the truth is the only real antidote or solution to tyranny.
We don’t need a “government” or “rules” to create a supermarket which is nothing more than a building housing some products from farms and tons of poison processed foods.
And the beer, wine and spirits at the pub are pure poison, promoted to keep people ill and in a permanent stupor. It’s the government’s number one poison campaign after DRUGS – RX, OTC, VACCINES and CAFFEINE. Caffeine is an insecticide that inhibits blood flow to the brain by 40%. Alcohol destroys the liver and brain. Rx, vaccines and OTC are literally a genocide of unimaginable proportions.
I like beer and wine.
Alcohol doesn’t just impair cognition, keep you emotionally manipulable, assist the destructive mind control programs of government, poison your liver and brain, but think about all the money over a lifetime, literally pissed away to the government in beer and wine taxes. Supporting pubs and their exorbitant government licensing fees is yet another scam.
Consider buying directly from local farmers and farmers markets, (not supermarkets) and not pissing your money away to the unlawful govt. with their – poison and tax alcohol scam.
These changes could be meaningful and empowering, benefiting your body, mind and wallet.
I like beer and wine.
You asked “how do I get off this thing?”
Beer and wine, or you can go over to their vinyard and try their whine and ask if they want some cheese to go with the wine.
Nothing good comes without sacrifice.
Give em booze, drugs and TV and you’ve got em in the palm of your hand.
That’s exactly how it works. Keep ‘em working in boring monotonous jobs each day, hyped up on caffeine, then ply them with alcohol that makes brains more suggestible to the mind control on the Saturnic black box. Presto. Complete control of an entire populace.
If people could get past this false belief of “media” as an information service, and understand it’s a mind control tool, always has been, maybe they could start to see the messages being pushed so hard and incessantly are also the biggest lies.
Tyranny is many things, but ‘personal’ isn’t one of them.
How does taking these things personally help, exactly?
Talking of saints, he’s so much one and not at all controlled opposition masking deliberate mockery and contempt for the gullible:

Of course the Fraud had a story up almost immediately allowing them to connect Christianity with sexual abusers….
Brand is the epitome of controlled opposition. Some controlled/approved oppo are given more subtle roles to play, but not him.
His book series ‘Russell Brand’s Trickster Tales’ with one book called ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ openly reveals his role.
Furthermore, his role as ‘The Child Catcher’ in the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony was another clue.
Finally, his casually inserted call for “for a new system of global governance” in one of his monologues shown the video below:

It all about conversion. many already desperately seeking the ”2nd coming”.
Who watches ”alt media” then converts to either religions or starts to believe politics is real.??
Mind Control victims do, proving alt media is a tool to converted easily venerable people who think there awake to the next stage of the psyop..
The fool says in his heart, there is no God.
Psalm 14:1
The Heart is incapable of lying.
Gohō, Sun Wu Feng Roku Chapter 8, paragraph 3
We were talking about a fools heart. I believe SUN WU FENG were talking about normal intelligent rational people’s heart. NOT a fools heart.
“The fool’s heart is incapable of lying”??? I think you missed both Victor. You missed!
Mu
You lost an “h” Victor. Naughty boy.
“God” and religion are not necessarily synonymous. Something surely created all of that which exists… it didn’t just jump out of nothing by pure chance.
The creator is Life, and Life just IS.
As is Love
That’s all we need to know.
Speculation is just fodder for our chattering minds.
Correct. But you can’t separate the two. The ‘way’, whichever is the correct one (I believe Yeshua), will always be considered to be religion by the masses.
Bear in mind that the Bible stands alone among ancient “wisdom” in equating the fool with foolish thoughts and deeds. In the Tarot, for instance, The Fool is merely the Everyman. He stands on the edge of a cliff – but is he aware of his predicament? He might be or he might not be. He can choose to keep going or to turn around and try another route.
If this is ancient wisdom I clearly prefer the Bible’s clean cut explanations.
No foggy days there.
Too tired to do an anagram of his name but arse is a beginning.Same as Idris Elba and David Attenborough mammal arse.
Discriminative construction—such as ‘them/us’ constructs—are functions, or rather generic dysfunction, of the language that people predicate as ‘true, real, actual’—and so on—in repetitive self-reinforcing memory cycles. The horizon of hate is in the horizon of memory—collective memory—preserved in the deep orthography of logic and grammar. What the grammar separates, and the logic sublimates (and desublimates at the same time) the rhetoric programmes the hate of the logical superior over the logical inferior (and vice-versa as a dialectical and unended enmity)…. And most call this rational.
Given the amount of exposure this has got, ‘we’ really should be able to move on to non-Aristotelian and non-identitarian semantics of peace by now. Instead, ‘we’ seemingly want to go the other way into a miasma of hate amplified in the “slow deterioration of language” fueled by discriminative grammatical constructivism. FWIW: “language kills” so here is another brief resume of inherent linguistic programming as a hermeneutics of hate, enmity and superiority.
(Apophantic) truth-logic is precedent; among its predeterminations is that the sentence is of two types—the noun-phrase is essential which signifies ‘without’ time (sine tempore); the verb-phrase is existential or ‘accidental’ that signifies ‘within’ time (cum tempore). If the verb-phrase as predicated agrees with the noun-phrase as essential the sentence is adjudicable ‘true’, if not it is ‘false’. If it is true, it moves up the scale of essentialism and is said to subsist under ‘being’ as being closer to ‘The Truth’ (capitalised as propertied as transcendent Being.)
The metaphysics underlying the sentence structure (logos) is that every kind of thing is a certain, determinate kind of thing (species); every kind of thing is a member of a more general kind or class of thing (genos, kategoriai): every determinate kind of thing has an ideal essence that causes it to be that kind of thing and not other (specific difference); so every class of things has an essence that causes a whole class to be a certain kind of nature? If and only if things have determinative causal essences logos logically becomes Logos.
From this nonce categorial structure you can build a categorical hierarchy of ever more general kinds sublimated closer to the most general kind (summum genera) which is the all-inclusive category of ‘being’. So ‘being-iness’ causes ‘plant-iness’ causes ‘fruit-iness’ causes ‘apple-iness’ to be determined in a certain and specific kind of way? This is mediaeval mindfuckery and semantic sorcery.
But this logos is also inherently modern. If you substitute <god causes angels causes humans causes animals causes plants causes minerals> to be a certain kind of way it seemingly becomes believable…. even rational and scientific. Yet we do not even have ‘discrete causality’—let alone essential determinism—Hume did for that. And we do not have categorial hierarchy with the copulae as the logical king of the categories…. But we do have religion which is categorically structured copulation as “god-grammatical”. We have structured this world as if this were theologically absolute, necessary, and logical…. Some even call rational, but never is it reasonable.
“Casual dehumanisation” is causal dehumanisation, causal hierarchy, causal command chain of being and projection of negative properties onto the hierarch; that which determines the essential difference between ‘them’ and ‘us’. If and only if you’ve internalised mediaeval mindfuckery as absolute mindfuckery, not metaphoric. Which is all-inclusive repetitive representation-only.
Is that so?
Well I’ll be a monkeys uncle, or auntie, or non binary whatchamacallit.
It is so much so that everything you–or anybody else for that matter–thought you thought independently was dictated by some dead bloke who plucked the ‘laws of thought’ out of thin air. Does the earth have an excluded middle? Is the world bifurcated in two? Are there two worlds, two substances? And is the body determined as controlled by a causal non-entity from outer space?
If all division, enmity and subordination is constructed it can be deconstructed. If and when ‘we’ want to.
Then the first step is to go beyond thought.
After all, thoughts are merely electrical pulses in the brain formed by training or self delusion. Maps, but not the territory of reality.
Physical pain, or Love, for example, are not thoughts. They are real.
Beyond thought?
Impossible you say?
That’s just another thought blocking the path to Truth.
Impossible you say? No, if we could not go “beyond thought” then thought would be a static entity, and it is very much dynamic. However, the bottleneck of “thought that has gone beyond thought” as visionary imaginability must be transformed into intelligible and communicable speech or writing—in all of their variations—which means they must be converted in sentences. Any originality is transformed into duality in transduction and transacted transformation (some call this “recuperation.”)
If the first step is to go “beyond thought”, the second step is to modulate the transformative grammar so that it does not eradicate all nondualising thought. Many branches of science did this years ago, but political science—the so-called “master science”—refuses to admit anything but duality. Which is why the biopolitical is written in the blood, sweat, and tears of the subaltern clause of the Aristotelian ‘square of logic’ much as I described.
The ‘truth’ is that we enact those “merely electrical impulses” as MAP (metabolic action potential) which became the MAP of the world with one-to-one and one-to-many isometry from grammar to globe. Apparently, nobody can see this; or if they do they are not letting on. So, I’ll have to work on my grammar whether anybody else wants to or not!
You’re not paying attention.
Love DOES NOT require thought.
We Love without thinking.
We act selflessly without thinking.
Love is an action, not an idea.
Life is what we feel, see, smell and touch.
Life is not a concept.
Living is the grind of everyday existence.
I’m not paying attention? ‘Love’ is a label for a concept. As soon as you say ‘love’ you also say ‘hate’ as it clearly stated in our oldest treatise on language, the Daojing. As a recovering buddhist I’m inclined to agree, but the concept of ‘love’ is in use at the planetary scale, and it sure does not look like ‘love’ to me. Self-love (autophilia) maybe?
So the problem of definition and determination came up some weeks ago. I said at the time that to go into any real depth, the problem of determination would take months. I would still be on the problems of defining definition when the spectacle has moved on. Nobody wants to play the game of defining terms in a meaningful concrete way that actually refers to the earth.
So, whilst I am fully inclined to agree with your definition of ‘life’, the problematic remains in extending ‘our’ definition out by circumventing the classicist truth-logic which also claims to be grounded in eros, philia, sympatheia and so on…. for oneself alone.
Do you see what I am getting at now?
Language, ancient or new, is the barrier to Truth.
Two, or a two hundred professors can talk, write and philosophise about Truth, Life and Love till hell freezes over, but they ain’t gonna get anywhere.
Truth, Life and Love are utterly subjective experiences. Beyond words.
Words are man made, mind made and entertainment for our egos.
Dig deeper.
Recovering? Isnt that against the faith??
‘Ding an sich,’ ‘the thing itself’. Kant, I believe. Language may ‘kill,’ specifically, but on the way it freezes us, coagulates and destroys our power of positive movement. ‘sui generis.’ (here to mean ‘of its own kind’)
Rabbit in the headlights. Thus suitably distracted, we are run over, mown down. Roadkill. ‘Collateral damage,’ (Urban renewal the American Way) as the Vietnam/Cambodian not-funny-joke
had it. Now updated to include Israel and Russia. Can you meaningfully separate ’emotion,’ ‘mathematics’, ‘science’ and ‘philosophy’?
The battlefield as ‘revenge porn.’ It all comes together as the classic 20th/21st Century artform.
At the ‘feeling-level’ I cannot empathise with the soulless technocrat ‘scientist’ who takes no responsibility for his reductionist working environment, and how that is reflected in various forms of denial in his/her personal life, if any. And the cogs in the military/military-industrial complex machine. Intellectually however, it’s easy to understand.
But we cannot join in, not without first understanding the rules of the game (les regles de jeux) The phrase has multiple nuances in meaning.
The rules of the game; rule-following; law-governedness and so on are the underlying principles I am calling the grammar (after Nietzsche.) If you’ve ever heard an analytic philosopher talk of rule-following—such as Pinker—that is what they mean. And unbeknownst to many, an enormous amount of time and resources is being employed to discover those rules. I’m talking about “corpus linguistics” and “large language models” analysed by AI. I was just reading that these models are dominated by English text, which goes back to what was said last week.
If it were possible, the likes of Pinker would have “orthogonal orthography” of strict determinism, rule-governed denomination and definition which has been the analytic projection from Aristotle throughout mathematicised set theory. They believe, from Chomsky, that the syntax is innate and independent of the world…. Even though they have yet to find the language gene!
If ‘they’ have their way it’ll be “one name, one denomination”. All creativity, poetry, metaphoricity and figurative speech will be dead…. Or deader that our current “concept-mummification” of the sensorial feeling-level. And ‘our’ alternative strategy is ….
Therefore: there are two-value poles with an ‘excluded middle’, somewhere between Essentialism or Eternalism and Relativism is the ‘middle way’ excluded by logic. The Way ‘we’ could not be bothered to find so we eternalised ‘their’ rule-following for them. As the corpus linguistic concretised over.
So you think it’s just ennui/accidie(acedia) and pure laziness…part of the curse of technology is availability/access(ability) and ensuing entitlement, hardly having to lift a finger to access stuff that our grandparents would not have believed possible, but with its own concomitant dangers that they couldn’t have imagined, either. Poisons: ‘physical’ (psycho-soma) mental, emotional, psychic AND spiritual. With invisible ramifications.
The ‘two-poles’ version. Have they by now been ripped apart, and is the ‘excluded middle’ now too damaged to even be recognisable or even/in any way seen as desirable?
No. They’re crazy. The syntax is artificial. I have met Native American graduates and creative people in the Western sense and disciplines who throw off the syntax when we enter the sweat lodge/initi. They and others move between worlds and worldviews constantly.
Maybe you would describe that as ‘the middle way?’
Its just a little schizophrenic not? You have to choose because there is only one correct form.
I find it difficult to talk bs in one language, and then shift over to a correct gramma language like latin or one of the latin languages who have more emotional colourful and developed words.
Our Albion “cousins”, the moronic Brits succeeded in genetically crossing a Dachshund (father!) with a Rottweiler (mother). The product is a short-legged hybrid that looks not unlike the American bull terrier, but does not have its psychopathic character traits.
The principle should be extended to so-called “humanoids”, e.g. crossing Eskimos with Aboriginies to create a particularly intelligent and aesthetically pleasing species that will dominate the world in the future due to its outstanding qualities.

Such beautiful words and powerful sentiment. Thank you very much for a wonderful start to my day.
I’ve done a bit of reading about the anti-imperialist league in the U.S. in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Mother Jones, and Eugene Debs, labor and socialist activists, Smedley Butler, the highly decorated Marine General who wrote the book “War is a Racket”, etc., etc. It’s all been laid out in black and white by those before us, nothing has fucking changed except the end date keeps getting closing, whenever that may be. A good example of what the quote above states (why recognizing similar patterns in contemporary narratives proves so challenging) concerns the U.S. presidential election and particularly Donald Trump. We’re surrounded by dumb shits on the left and dumb shits on the right. And if you’re not one of them, that doesn’t make you a moderate, it makes you sane. The fortunate thing is the tyranny that developed back then, i.e., 1910’s – 1940’s, simply can’t happen now. Or can it? LOL.
I don’t know man, I’m shopping for barbed wire. Democide killed over 300 million in the 20th century.
These are the words of the Teacher,a the son of David, King in Jerusalem:
“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile!”
“My son, be further warned: There is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.”
“When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His Commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.”
Isnt Trump genealogy from David, King in Jerusalem:
hence the ”2nd coming” will be end times prophecy they all so desperately need so they can have there new world religious order.

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:
I saw the tears of the oppressed—
and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
and they have no comforter.
2 And I declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.
3 But better than both
is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun.

Taxing the rich?

If only.
Outside of some kind of change in the capitalist system, absolutely. The amount of money being made at the top now is insane. All you need is a million or so on TikTok now and you can become rich. Not to mention we’re closing in on trillionaires. Taylor Swift a billionaire. Fuck that. It used to be butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers. Look it up. Now it’s everyone else is worthless except the fucking rich. Time to tame that beast. I’ve waffled about the issue for years because of pushing for a change in how all these fuckers make so much money, but it is what it is, so hell with that. They’ve got to give a lot of that shit back. That’s the only way. That’s not socialism, that’s realism.
After socialism, which is subsidizing the poor, comes communism, which is confiscation of wealth by force, or fascism.
Take your pick, nobody gets it the way they want it.
A better understanding of the actual nature of money would render these would-be trillionaires the poorest people on Earth. Their money takes its worth from the collective envy of so many others on the planet.
A hundred zillion trillion quadrillion dollar pounds will not make fantasy real – yet that’s what the rich want. They want a world where being rich and powerful makes them gods, gives them omnipotence. They will go through life reaching for the golden ring; but will never touch it.
They are to be pitied, not envied.
From your link it seems they are going after the homeless;
fines for trespassing, illegal possession of a unregistered dog, jail time for pissing in a parque belonging to the public, unlawful begging for money, noise polluting the air for innocent by-passers with an old guitar.
If the State can pull out just $100/year x 20 mio homeless, this is $2 billion/year, not bad.
Easy fruit.
Alan Watts was one of the first Western spiritual seekers to gain pubic attention.
He followed in the footsteps of people like Ramana Maharshi, Meher Baba and Jiddu Krishnamurti.
All of their teachings are logical, practical and unpolluted by religion and the baggage that goes with it:
https://www.azquotes.com/quote/474606
Your spiritual guru, your religion…
Every spiritual teaching, life philosophy, worldview – call it what you will – is ultimately rooted in some religious ground motive or other. That old Cartesian notion of a pure, unfettered logic is somewhat simplistic, if not downright self delusional. Nobody is free from their religious ground motives, least of all Maharshi et al.
A Truth-full spiritual teacher will say;
“Don’t believe anything I have told you, test it in your own experience”
You will never, ever hear those words from proselytising priests or their ilk.
Religions employ the weapons of fear, coercion and ritual.
Wake up, for ‘God’s’ sake.
1 Thessalonians 5:21

21 but test everything; hold fast what is good.
Oops. Freudian slip?
‘Pubic’ should. read public of course.
That bloody edit button is next to useless.
Unlike the Shock & Awe grand entry of ‘covid’ it could be
Our Overlords paid Nudgers will introduce “Disease X”
by stealth…
At the moment “Bird Flu” seems the most likely candidate.
Reports are that it has infected cows, that cats have been
infected by drinking raw cows milk, and that some guy got
“pink eye” from it…So, little by little, the idea that it “Bird
Flu” can infect you, and your pets, is being seeded into
the popular mind…
It is much more terrifying when the danger appears to be
coming from Everywhere !!
So It’s very unlikely Alfred Hitchcock’s 1962 movie “The Birds”
will be shown on telly as part of the softening-up process
because that movie would be more suitable to a Shock & Awe
frightener than stealthy nudging…
Paving a Digital Road to Hell is a must read. The net is closing all around us, all hidden in plain sight.
We know, or at least some of us know. We have heard it 1000 times. since Rudder King was Knight. Its obvious.
Should a human being spend 10 hrs a day with open mouth and empty zombie eyes looking into a flat screen: “In here is reality”?
Short term memory as we jump through hoops and new readers here may need reminding, ever thought of that?, Dear Erik.
Its all right. Its just when you have heard it a thousands times……………
Most politicians and people in Europe and US have still not heard about Yuri Bezmenov and Ideological subversion, and he was available 40-30 years back all over television and internet so, its up hill. 😓
People have been very indoctrinated into believing “religion” is a bad thing, divisive, controlling, bla bla bla. This type of propaganda comes originally from the talmudic jews who always had as the main historical target the Catholic Church; so it’s not a surprise to the the entire mainstream media, academia, hollywood, music industry, etc, bashing the Catholic Church, and the distortions and even reversions of historical events and facts regarding the Church is atrocious. And actually, the Catholic Church is the only religion which is peaceful. Judaism/pharisaism isn’t even a religion, it has nothing to do with the ancient Mosaic Law and sharia law isn’t very pleasant, is it? And people were also conditioned to believe that pagan ‘faiths’ are “peaceful”. Are they? In pagan societies the law of the stronger always prevailed; women, children, the elderly, the poor, the sick, the orphans, etc, had no dignity or safety, and if you read ‘classical literature’ you won’t find these mentioned. Even protestants love to say “I’m not religious, I’m spiritual” – and to them I say, so are the demons!
History narratives love to talk about “religious wars”, but they weren’t religious at all, as they were started by kings, queens, princes, presidents or prime ministers, not by popes, cardinals, bishops or priests, never by the Catholic Church.
The conflicts between England and Northern Ireland are not ‘religious’, but political; The conflicts between Israel and palestinians isn’t ‘religious’, but political and the same apply to other past or current situations.
Dr Cecil Roth, a jewish british historian explained well how the Catholic Church’s history is wrongly defamed, and the same has happened everywhere else:
= Dr. Cecil Roth, british jewish historian, address delivered in the Zionist Forum, Buffalo, New York, Feb. 25,1927:
– “Some jews have the feeling that the papacy has a policy of persecuting jews. But you must remember that english history is definitely anti-catholic, and your views of catholicism may have been coloured by english history. We jews who have suffered so much from prejudices, should rid our minds of prejudices and learn the facts. The truth is that the popes and the Catholic Church from the earliest days of the Church were never responsible for physical persecution of jews, and only Rome, among the capitals of the world, is free from having been a place of jewish tragedy. For this we jews must have gratitude.”
You need to broaden your horizons.
Religions, particularly Christianity, have written their own damning history. In blood, fear and ignorance.
My horizons are well broaden, mate. What you say is the result of lying social constructs. I read books, I’ve got hundreds of them on different subjects. The last thing I do is believe what academia says about historical events, because academia is controlled by the same people who are gradually destroying our world. Christianity hasn’t started a single war or anything like that – not one!
Inquisitions? They were what we today call an ‘internal investigation’; they weren’t directed at non-catholics, but you have a look around and read the lies about it, yes? They weren’t even directed at lay catholics. Plus have one fact in consideration, kings, queens, princes, etc, were not the Catholic Church, so you cannot accuse the Church for actions committed by others.
What are you? An atheist? A pagan? Wow, these two have as rule, the law of the jungle, any means to justify an end is possible, plus any of them have committed serious crimes, violence, abominations, wars, etc.
You’re right, I’m wrong?
So be it.
There certainly has been a great deal of black propaganda against historical Catholicism from the British elite. The Inquisition was hyped up when the reality is very different and the persecution by Elizabeth I ignored.
The main motivation imo comes more from the Pope’s role in the suppression of the Templars. The French monarchy was the principle driving force (and look what happened to them!) but there was Papal connivance. Freemasons think they are the heirs of the Templars although there’s so much disinfo here it’s impossible to say how much truth there is in that for sure.
There’s something of a bizarre love-hate relationship with Catholicism now (much as there is with Islam). Some of the elite rather like the disguised paganism that runs through Catholicism. However the pro-natalism that’s in Catholicism is clearly so out-of-line with the current agenda of depopulation that hostility is mostly in evidence. Needless to say, recent Popes have been elite stooges with John Paul I the last possibly genuine one – and he “died” after 33 days!
Every individual is faced with the problem of whom to improve,
himself or others. The aim, it seems to me, should be to
effect one’s own unfolding, the upgrading of one’s own consciousness
– in short, self-perfection. Those who don’t even try or, when
trying, find self-perfection too difficult, usually seek to expend
their energy on others. Their energy has to find some target.
Those who succeed in directing their energy inward – particularly
if they be blessed with great energy, like Goethe, for instance
– become moral leaders. Those who fail to direct their
energy inwardly and let it manifest itself externally – particularly
if they be of great energy, like Napoleon, for instance – become
immoral leaders. Those who refuse to rule themselves are usually
bent on ruling others. Those who can rule themselves usually
have no interest in ruling others.
He who conquers himself is greater than he who conquers a city.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
So true…
Malcolm X explained how the face of colonial fascism morphed into its latest mask of compassion in his article Zionist Logic.
From your Link to Malcolm X:
“DollarismThe number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is Zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel.”
Proven true by the monetization of U$A and UK, with their resulting support for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

That’s “Love Thy Neighbours” !
I’m not into Orgies but I see your point.
There’s no legislating emotions. Doomed to fail, after causing unimaginable levels of horror and suffering. Counter-productive and stupid, or perhaps, more aptly, evil.
Excellent!
Simply excellent!
