A Time of Shame and Sorrow: When It Comes to Political Violence, We All Lose
John & Nisha Whitehead
“Whenever any American’s life is taken by another American unnecessarily—whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of law, by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence—whenever we tear at the fabric of life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded.”
Robert F. Kennedy on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr (1968)
There’s a subtext to this assasisnation attempt on former President Trump that must not be ignored, and it is simply this: America is being pushed to the brink of a national nervous breakdown.
More than 50 years after John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, America has become a ticking time bomb of political violence in words and deeds.
Magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and government-sanctioned brutality, our politically polarizing culture of callousness, cruelty, meanness, ignorance, incivility, hatred, intolerance, indecency and injustice have only served to ratchet up the tension.
Consumed with back-biting, partisan politics, sniping, toxic hate, meanness and materialism, a culture of meanness has come to characterize many aspects of the nation’s governmental and social policies. “Meanness today is a state of mind,” writes professor Nicolaus Mills in his book The Triumph of Meanness, “the product of a culture of spite and cruelty that has had an enormous impact on us.”
This casual cruelty is made possible by a growing polarization within the populace that emphasizes what divides us—race, religion, economic status, sexuality, ancestry, politics, etc.—rather than what unites us: we are all Americans, and in a larger, more global sense, we are all human.
This is what writer Anna Quindlen refers to as “the politics of exclusion, what might be thought of as the cult of otherness… It divides the country as surely as the Mason-Dixon line once did. And it makes for mean-spirited and punitive politics and social policy.”
This is more than meanness, however.
We are imploding on multiple fronts, all at once.
This is what happens when ego, greed and power are allowed to take precedence over liberty, equality and justice.
This is the psychopathic mindset adopted by the architects of the Deep State, and it applies equally whether you’re talking about Democrats or Republicans.
Beware, because this kind of psychopathology can spread like a virus among the populace.
As an academic study into pathocracy concluded, “[T]yranny does not flourish because perpetuators are helpless and ignorant of their actions. It flourishes because they actively identify with those who promote vicious acts as virtuous.”
People don’t simply line up and salute. It is through one’s own personal identification with a given leader, party or social order that they become agents of good or evil. To this end, “we the people” have become “we the police state.”
By failing to actively take a stand for good, we become agents of evil. It’s not the person in charge who is solely to blame for the carnage. It’s the populace that looks away from the injustice, that empowers the totalitarian regime, that welcomes the building blocks of tyranny.
This realization hit me full-force a few years ago. I had stopped into a bookstore and was struck by all of the books on Hitler, everywhere I turned. Yet had there been no Hitler, there still would have been a Nazi regime. There still would have been gas chambers and concentration camps and a Holocaust.
Hitler wasn’t the architect of the Holocaust. He was merely the figurehead. Same goes for the American police state: had there been no Trump or Obama or Bush, there still would have been a police state. There still would have been police shootings and private prisons and endless wars and government pathocracy.
Why? Because “we the people” have paved the way for this tyranny to prevail.
By turning Hitler into a super-villain who singlehandedly terrorized the world—not so different from how Trump is often depicted—historians have given Hitler’s accomplices (the German government, the citizens that opted for security and order over liberty, the religious institutions that failed to speak out against evil, the individuals who followed orders even when it meant a death sentence for their fellow citizens) a free pass.
This is how tyranny rises and freedom falls.
None of us who remain silent and impassive in the face of evil, racism, extreme materialism, meanness, intolerance, cruelty, injustice and ignorance get a free pass.
Those among us who follow figureheads without question, who turn a blind eye to injustice and turn their backs on need, who march in lockstep with tyrants and bigots, who allow politics to trump principle, who give in to meanness and greed, and who fail to be outraged by the many wrongs being perpetrated in our midst, it is these individuals who must shoulder the blame when the darkness wins.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that,” Martin Luther King Jr. sermonized.
The darkness is winning.
It’s not just on the world stage we must worry about the darkness winning.
The darkness is winning in our communities. It’s winning in our homes, our neighborhoods, our churches and synagogues, and our government bodies. It’s winning in the hearts of men and women the world over who are embracing hatred over love. It’s winning in every new generation that is being raised to care only for themselves, without any sense of moral or civic duty to stand for freedom.
John F. Kennedy, killed by an assassin’s bullet five years before King would be similarly executed, spoke of a torch that had been “passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.”
Once again, a torch is being passed to a new generation, but this torch is setting the world on fire, burning down the foundations put in place by our ancestors, and igniting all of the ugliest sentiments in our hearts.
This fire is not liberating; it is destroying.
We are teaching our children all the wrong things: we are teaching them to hate, teaching them to worship false idols (materialism, celebrity, technology, politics), teaching them to prize vain pursuits and superficial ideals over kindness, goodness and depth.
We are on the wrong side of the revolution.
“If we are to get on to the right side of the world revolution,” advised King, “we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.“
Freedom demands responsibility.
Freedom demands that we stop thinking as Democrats and Republicans and start thinking like human beings, or at the very least, Americans.
JFK was killed in 1963 for daring to challenge the Deep State.
King was killed in 1968 for daring to challenge the military industrial complex.
Robert F. Kennedy offered these remarks to a polarized nation in the wake of King’s assassination:
“In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. [Y]ou can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization…filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort … to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love… What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.”
Two months later, RFK was also killed by an assassin’s bullet.
Fifty-plus years later, we’re still being terrorized by assassins’ bullets, but what these madmen are really trying to kill is that dream of a world in which all Americans “would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
We haven’t dared to dream that dream in such a long time.
But imagine…
Imagine what this country would be like if Americans put aside their differences and dared to stand up—united—for freedom.
Imagine what this country would be like if Americans put aside their differences and dared to speak out—with one voice—against injustice.
Imagine what this country would be like if Americans put aside their differences and dared to push back—with the full force of our collective numbers—against government corruption and despotism.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, tyranny wouldn’t stand a chance.

Since the Constitution is invalid as Lysander Spooner demonstrates, what’s the real point of this faux assassination psyop?
The point of these psyops is to keep the slaves brainwashed, mind controlled and believing they live in democracies or Republics.
Under that delusion, the debate is falsely framed, if we just tweak, reform, elect better candidates, or institute direct democracy, then the overt tyranny, violence, slavery and corruption can be mitigated.
It can’t and won’t. Because all countries and their faux governments are privately owned corporations operating under criminal fraud.
You can’t transfer rights you don’t have, to government.
The big non-sequitur was “To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men”.
Which is really “On the pretext of securing these rights, with the ulterior motive of harnessing and exploiting the inhabitants (for a secret, but ultimately philanthropic purpose*), governments shall be instituted among men”.
* As understood by those who have observed The Great Pyramid.
Incidentally, no (natural) right can be transferred. One can only transfer privileges (rights anulled in the majority, to be left by exclusion, in the hands of a few).
The point of the increasingly inept psyops is to continue waking up the sapient.
This is the time of the great winnowing.
Without consent and full disclosure, all contracts are null and void. Ergo, no courts, codes, statutes, regulations, mandates, edicts are lawful.
The people never consented to any constitution, to be constitutors (debtors).
Their natural rights were seized, and they were forced into debt slavery, surreptitiously, under capitus diminutae maximus and the Cestui Que Vie trusts.
It wasn’t philanthropic, the controllers are misogynists, sadists, pathological liars, vapid, vulgar, narcissists, sociopaths, pedophiles and eugenicists.
And they’re lying about the cataclysm timeline. It’s not even this century.
They’re just a psychopathic death cult, feigning philanthropy, and constantly self aggrandizing.
Natural rights cannot be seized. They are inalienable – innate.
Through force, governments may well disregard them.
The control structure installed by TPTB may well utilise individuals with the characteristcs necessary to do their bidding, e.g. psychopaths. Indeed, it suits TPTB if they are perceived as self-serving aristocrats. However, you should rise above the seduction of doing so – in order to perceive the great mission.
Given very few can even interpret TPTB’s estimate for doomsday, it would be bizarre of them to lie about it. In any case, there are other indicators that it is approaching, e.g. magnetic field deflection & weakening.
You will certainly know it’s near when ‘disease’ thins the herd.
Seized as in quashed, wrested from humanity, by being occulted, usurped and replaced by the man made codes and statutes in canon, (merchant, admiralty) law. Perhaps seized was the wrong word choice.
Yup.
The masses are hoodwinked into thinking rights are granted to them, e.g. by the ECHR. If they ain’t in the ECHR, you don’t ‘ave ’em!
One of the most egregious hoodwinkings in recent times is of the natural right to privacy, which, online, is being conflated with discretion, and the (copyright inculcated) idea that you can own ‘your data’, wherever it may be.
Exactly this. I keep telling people this but they won’t hear it.
I’ll add that natural rights are literally academic if 90% of the populace don’t recognise/understand them.
This is one of the key things* that Covid demonstrated. When TPTB control the mob, they can do WTF they want – rights being immaterial.
* Another key thing being the exhibition of global government.
I think natural rights are inherent and innate. Based on reason and logic.
It takes constant brainwashing, mind control (BuyBull, Education and poison by injection, tainted food, tv, radio EMF) to brainwash the slaves.
The real question is why did they make it so obvious during Covid that it was fake?
The controllers believed, since SARS wasn’t exposed as a hoax in 2003, they could take the scam worldwide.
But they overplayed their hand. That’s why they’re using the Great Year as the backup psyop. To keep their members on board.
Since 9/11, TPTB have been staging ever more inept events such that the sufficiently perspicacious notice this, and figure out that something wicked this way comes. And this is so that, come the sapience tests such as Covid, enough of the sapient realise that they are being tested.
Cyclic cataclysm twice a Great Year – a psyop? Now, that is funny.
It takes a lot of work to fabricate globally synchronous sedimentary strata you know. You should look up ‘punctuated aggradational cycles’ some time. 🙂
Even at 4 times a Great Year the numbers can’t add up to 2048 or even this century. That date is two centuries + early.
I’m not denying the cataclysms, the pole shifts, etc., only the date. That’s the psyop to trap masons into accepting technocracy and mass poisoning.
You do realise that The Great Year is 24,000 years long, give or take a few decades?
Accelerating field weakening & deflection are the warning signs of imminence. Even accelerating axial deflection (as tiny as it is).
There would be no reason to condense the population two centuries too soon.
Where’d you get your 24k number from? It’s 25K plus.
You must read ‘The Lost Star’ by Walter Cruttenden. It will give you all the clues you need to deduce the answer (but it won’t give you the answer). Given how much deception (by TPTB) that you are already aware of, this shouldn’t be too difficult for you.
Thanks, I’ll check that book out.
I like what you write except your mocking the Holy Bible.
Someone as astute as you must have noticed they are against and always mocking Christianity. And are in fact afraid of it. That should make you curious at least.
I can tell you have never read the Bible. Yet you are sure it’s fake.
Because I know it’s not holy and it’s a pack of lies. It’s a collection of ancient astrological allegories, myths, gematria and fear programs, violence and lies and has nothing to do with “god” or a creator.
The more people read it the more brainwashed they become. That’s the power of words, phrases, lies, symbolism and repetition on the human subconscious.
The Bible came from the VATICAN and they are the tip of the control pyramid.
All religions are one, the BIBLE was written by the ancient Saturn Death Cult, aka the Cult of Rome. It’s 100% garbage and it’s unbelievably harmful to humanity.
Explain how it was a faux failed assassination psyop.
It’s stagecraft. They’re all faked.
The point is to convince the dummies who vote, it’s all real. You’re convinced. Mission Accomplished.

for anyone at all interested in what’s going on in america, from trump to biden and harris in this crazy week you couldn’t do better than watch this:

it’s glorious
Thanks, Bob. Interesting. My take on it: The beginning, where they’re stating the exit pkg negotiations that allow Biden & other politicos to quit, is the bona fides of the producers at the link. After they’ve told us the dirt we are more open to listen to their production on the “shooting”– which they present as real and which they fortify w many details none of which are verifiable.
Don’t know whether they’re the authors of this “dress-up-the-hoax” or whether they’ve been imposed upon by Intell.

What violence? The whole thing was a staged psy-op.
Hey OffG – would you be willing to write a (more objective than most) article on RFK Jr? I haven’t seen an article devoted to him from you for quite a while. Break the mould – the MSM and most of the alt-media seem to ignore him and if they do write an article, they just smear him. It would be a breath of fresh air – what say you? Have you been given orders not to write about him?
there’s not a lot to write in all honesty, except maybe for his coke habit and womanising
Your Freemasonic Fabian pal, Jeremy Corbyn.
And his Freemasonic, faux freedom brother Piers.
And now you’re attempting to push on readers, yet another establishment shill.
All in all this is merely ‘ancient’ Rome in the ‘modern’ day.
“Imagine what this country would be like if Americans put aside their differences and dared to push back—with the full force of our collective numbers—against government corruption and despotism.”
Also: imagine if you unearthed a pot of golden roman coins in your garden!
Sorry but this essay is so… generic. It feels like a thinly-veiled excuse to reiterate the mantra of the day: THERE WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT… THERE WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT…. REALLY… THERE WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT… IT WASN’T FAKE AT ALL,OKAY?…. THERE WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT…. TOTALLY… MORE REAL THAN MOST… THERE WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT…

Taking potshots at one of the current candidates for POTU$A is hardly the greatest shame and sorrow for the U$ People. Far greater shame and sorrow will be felt after the People elect one of those candidates as POTU$A.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr – Speech About Americas Arrogance
Prophetic words. God is not mocked — especially not by an arrogant nation who believe they have God in their pockets.
Democrats laugh like god is a vote and they have the votes.
Almost like the polls are saying Trump landslide but as the day approaches the computers suddenly go blue and in the resulting manual hand count the democrats win by a nose, laughing all the way to the bank.
It is not really the nation. Most USans are living from one wage payment to the next, homeless or generating profit for private prisons. It is the parasitic infestation of capitalist oligarchy. If you cannot digest that, you can intone “multi-party neo-liberalism”.
That is true, and you see it in all countries. We higher apes are group animals, evolved to follow the Leader; even if he grabs our best banana, and his minions push us around. Then a great revolution in human life occurred some 3,000 years ago. In what has been called The Axial Age a few thinkers declared that each one of us, the big-brained apes, possessed a moral compass within us, and that we should use our own moral compass to check against any directions that the Leader or his minions give us. Two of those thinkers — Socrates of Athens and Yeshuah of Nazareth — were willing to test their moral compass to the limit. Revolution works faster than Evolution, but it is still a slow progress and most of the higher apes are still obedient to the Leaders.
mgeo, you seem always to throw in “capitalism” as if it were a swear word. Please remember that the alternative is communism and we know how that turns out. We DO or OUGHT TO want to retain private ownership of the means of production (and other things.)
Best to swear at the uniting of govt w laisez faire capitalism and corruption, especially of the money supply.
Like other things, socialism, fascism, etc. have been subject to relentless dogmatic attack. Going into the evolution of communism would be pointless. It is a bridge too far or a mountain too high to question the real distribution of power. All the available info., even horrific scenes visible daily, can be evaded. Instead, let us worship the benevolent job/wealth creators.
‘We are not going to compete and consume our way out of this existential crisis. Capitalism will never make it more profitable to leave a tree standing than cut it down, or to leave fuel sources in the ground rather than dig them up. Markets cannot navigate us through the crisis, no matter how “free” you make them. The problem is capitalism itself, not the wrong kind of it.’
-Caitlin Johnstone, article, 2020
Lol … the faux assassination of the FBI-CIA operative, MLK.
Pushing the country versus country psyop and the god and religion psyop.
This stuff is so laughable and transparent once you know the truth. What a maroon.
Tell BLM, Extinction rebellion, the Muslim brotherhood and other assorted elite Left bureacrazy enabled clubs.
Nonsense! I just don’t see it. You can’t simultaneously see people as too lethargic to overthrow the Deep State, and at the same time impelled to fascistic action.
I’m living in small town America, I’ve spoken to several dozen people in the past week & none of em have even mentioned the Trump “shooting”– or any aspect of politics, for that matter. They’re all decent people who are still persisting in living their decent and polite everyday lives.
The media and the Whiteheads alike can continue to stir the pot, but the only violence I see is that instigated by soft-on-crime DAs (elected by Mr. Soros’ money) — and that committed directly by the Intell groups as false flags. The nation is most emphatically NOT consumed by hate.
Yes, I agree. It’s the same here where I live (a very small town in England).
Ditto for a village in Scotland.
I haven’t commented on the Trump shooting at all till now. When I heard about it I honestly couldn’t have cared less. No, not true. I found out just now that I could care less and in fact do.
Just one thing: except perhaps for the ghetto, most people live 99% of their lives “behind closed doors.” And most people are reluctant to talk religion or politics except to very close friends – if even then. So I wouldn’t put too much store in what you might glean from your neighbors.
In my experience, people don’t VOLUNTEER to give their opinion about politics but when you ask them what they think they’re often quite outspoken. And when there’s exciting news they’ll even bring it up. EG: “Did you hear about people breaking into Congress in Washington? Do you think that’s real?” However the Trump “shooting” was just ho-hum. Nobody on the buses or Walmart was talking about it.
However, Covid was a precedent-breaker. Most people couldn’t wait to talk about it & nearly all were scornful & complaining.
I suspect you reside in a more upscale neighborhood than I do. During Covid, almost no one in my community mentioned it. Of course, their masked faces when out walking was itself a testimonial, wasn’t it?
Where newspapers and radio stations in small US towns survive, they too are under the control of “investors”.
Ah, but the media was already the 2d most disbelieved institution even before the Trump election. That’s why they had to position the media as ineffectually “opposing” him; how else whitewash him as an outsider.
People don’t believe newspapers/radio either.
For the most part they’re waiting for a leader or program to get behind. That program, our political platform is what we should be developing. It’s really not that complicated.
Everything on TV and in the press is a a show, it steers people towards their own slavery and otherwise futile ends.
They hate people who shun all of it. That’s what I’ll do then!
The authors are wonderful and admirable people, the type of folks one would dream of having as neighbors, the ideal friends and ideal citizens to have around!
But the sad thing is, and I suspect John knows it too—although perhaps in a cognitively dissonant kind of way; the thing is, no one is even allowed to say a thing about real solutions anymore. For example, it’s no longer permissible to discuss the Second Amendment of the American constitution in terms of its insurrectionist implications, let alone refer to Locke’s “Two Treatises of Government,” or Jefferson’s belief that “the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
The closest Americans people ever came to a true revolution was in 1932, when a group composed of thousands of impoverished WWI army veterans, called the ‘Bonus Expeditionary Force,’ marched to Washington. However, they were not doing it to overthrow tyranny, but to demand early cash redemption of their service bonus certificates! They were forcefully removed and sent home—two demonstrators were killed, and they never got more than crumbs!
You think anyone today has an appetite to march to Capitol Hill and depose the government? Hence, no amount of gaslighting your complacent American citizens will ever work to create a unified rebellion against tyranny, no amount of moaning and whining will do as much as creating a ripple on the surface of your fellow citizens’ cognitive cage. Despite all their flaws, the founders knew it well. We must recognize these facts and work from a different set of assumptions. We need to step away from the mediatized spectacle and the fakery and adopt new political and philosophical paradigms.
Or reassert old ones and promote the insurrectionist implications of the Second amendment.
Well stated Raoullo.
Gotta take the road less traveled.
Peace be with you.
Vote Communist in this election. If Communism has been culturally genocided in your ward, set up a cell and issue a manifesto. If China and Russia can redeem themselves from decades of corruption and humiliation, so can the U$A.
Eugene Debbs and Theodore Kazinsky told us the facts long ago. Oligarchies everywhere have appropriated all power and ensconed themselves beyond any scope of ousting them. The blood-sucking Terrorist Empire helps to keep them there.
Okay, OffG people – I concede on the RFK Jr thing. You sceptics may well be right about him – I’ve just seen his latest tweet where he mentions he wants to use AI and blockchain for many crucial things like a ‘Direct Democracy’ political system which is an extremely bad idea. Remember how the Dominion digital vote-counting machines were/are corrupt – the main cause of voting fraud (along with paper ballots) so imagine how fraudulent you could make a digital direct democracy system? I think the Swiss-style market-square non-digital democracy is a very good tried-and-tested system but I would definiely shun any type of digital version of it; and I’ve been warning against digital/AI direct democracy for years!!! Looks like there are NO presidential candidates of any worth – shame, I had a bit of hope he could have been the real deal! Oh well…
This is the tweet of his I am talking about:
https://x.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1815466754451415535
Good points. You sort of highlight how direct democracy is not a panacea and how it implies a highly decentralized form of social organization at the community level. This organisation model doesn’t preclude consensual inter-community agreements, but it doesn’t necessarily depend on them either.
RFK Jr makes some good points on the dangers of AI here in the following video – “we need treaties on AI”:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/28ZSomQJ2rc
For me personally, the more I read about AI, the more luddite I become. I don’t think the digital world is compatible with a healthy human spirit (or healthy bod)y,when I think about the subject for long enough.
Everything in my life always ultimately ends up pointing in the direction away from computers and digital tech and more towards a more natural life and inner spiritual life; and intuitively, I know that is probably closer to what humans (if given the choice) wouild generally over the ages call a ‘good life’. I think it is probably about time for me to learn from these ‘inner signposts’ I keep seeing.
Natural and spiritual is the best way to go imo.
“Looks like there are NO presidential candidates of any worth”
Why would the Control System feature a built-in mechanism for removing it from the control of its owners?
Well, Jeremy Corbyn got through a ‘loophole’ so I had a vague hope that someone like RFK Jr could have a chance too. Although I think he has too many red flags surrounding him, he is the lesser of all evils. Trump is being positioned as the ‘anti-christ’ and many think he will try tol start/develop the war with Iran (and beyond) and the subsequeht WW3 so I think we should do everything we can to help RFK Jr despite his flaws (at least he is sincerely more likely to help and listen to the people ublike all the other candidates).
Unfortunately, we DO live in evil times yet most people don’t know it and when they do, it could be too late. I read somewhere recently – that when the Bolsheviks started killing the Russian public, almost all of them did not know what was happening or why it was happening – I would like to learn from history and try to warn others befoer things happen as I have researched and shared for a decade and a half (as well as try to keep spirits up which is not an easy thing to balance).
Corbyn is a Freemason and a shill just like his brother. No better than Boris or Blair, just more deceptive. A sheepdog.
The system of GOVERN-MENT (mind control and slavery) was set up by the controllers and it’s not even public.
The vote is a psyop, nothing more.
You cannot transfer rights you don’t have to government.
Where’s your shares of UK.gov, or HM Treasury? You have none. But all corporations must have original shareholders and all govts are incorporated.
“Corbyn is a Freemason and a shill just like his brother”
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read on this site!
If you don’t even know that you cannot get a seat in a political party unless you are one, you may as well stop commenting.
Anything you write will be redundant and uninformed.
I am often accused of being luddite when I highlight the technologically enabled abuses of power we are routinely subjected to. However, this is not the proper framing of the issue. To understand the problem, you have to consider the technology in the context of the society as a whole. For example, when your economic system is such that it pervasively mandates the restriction of information in service of protecting competitive interests against each other, this basic reality cannot but condition any form of politics applied to that society. There is nothing wrong with using technology to make decisions in and of itself; we probably all do it every day to some extent. The critical challenge is keeping the operation of the decision-making system in accord with our intentions. In terms of politics, this means having a clear, transparent, auditable record of the system being responsive to its democratic mandate. It is clear that the present system of “representative democracy” is phenomenally defective in this respect but that does not mean the concept itself is fundamentally responsible for this failure. Supposedly, “representative democracy” exists because actual democracy is impractical to implement, although everyone here probably knows that the corruptible nature of it is a feature and not a bug to the ruling classes. But imagine all economic imperatives in society not comprehensively revolving around everyone needing to secure exclusive access to resources, lest they be claimed and used against them by others. Imagine instead that every person’s economic interest were inherently bound up with the economic security of the entire society, with access distributed equally among all people. In this circumstance there would be no structural economic incentive for anyone to divert the system of governance from its intended purpose, and “representative democracy” would suddenly stand a significant chance of… Read more »
What’s it matter when the corporations masquerading as governments (Govern = Control and Ment = Mind : MIND CONTROL) are privately owned and controlled? It doesn’t.
That’s why voting doesn’t matter and never mattered. It’s a psyop.
The system isn’t what you and the majority believe it is, so changing the method or means of fraud and criminality, won’t make any difference.
I don’t think you understand what I am saying.
The point is that owning the government means nothing when there are no opportunities for exclusive profit associated with said ownership, and that the means for managing exactly such a state of living in a transparent and legitimately democratic way are afforded by modern technology. It is simply a matter of eliminating the structural incentive for fraud, abuse and exploitation inherent to the market system instead of committing to just perpetually fighting a losing battle against the corruption which is, and always will be, systematically encouraged by the mere fact of people living in an economic environment of scarcity, where the exclusive access to and exploitation of resources is the entire basis of one’s economic well-being.
Technology evidently has the potential to either enslave us or set us free from the ancient ways of cynical, universal competition for differential gain, opening up a world of practical abundance, security and true community. Whoever happens to have been granted legal dominion over resources by the absurd and antisocial logic of an obsolete economic system is irrelevant as soon as we simply decide to do better. That is all it takes.
You aren’t even addressing the fact that you or anyone, don’t have the right to control a single soul, ergo any form of government is slavery and unlawful.
The privately owned governments make billions from the slaves. They wouldn’t exist unless they did.
Unless you understand the fundamental frauds, motivation and criminality in the way the world has been constructed through the fake “legal” system that supports unlawful ownership and enslavement of humanity, you can’t debate points of technology, economy, competition or markets. These are secondary and entirely irrelevant to slavery.
Well, it all comes to a head around 2048. It will then be seen if the harnessing of mankind for its own salvation (escape from Samsara) has been successful.
The (fake) doomsday clock indicates 2048, others I’ve seen claim 2040 or 2042.
I think it’s a psyop to get their members on board early, because it’s not happening this century.
Although I wish your assertion were true, when Pandemic II is rolled out, I suspect you’ll change your mind.
To be fair to me (if you re-read my comments) I was speciffically referring to ‘Smart technology’ the backbone of the UN Agenda21/2030 and 4IR which is all about tethering and controlling humans and all resources of the world (on the centralised electrical smart-grid aka digital gulag) by a small group of supremacist control-freaks.
Obviously, I’m a fan of a lot of tour current technology but only if it isn’t weaponised against us.
People who talk about “smart” technology are almost invariably talking about it in the context of some faux-public system of meticulous control which is practically beholden to the present-day class of oligarchs, financiers and Big Business, whether they hide it behind “stakeholder capitalism” or some other disingenuous PR concept. This kind of implementation is exactly what I am arguing against, but it is important to understand that it is not inherent to the technology itself.
Just like a blockchain could be designed to systematically anonymize everyone’s data at the lowest level, so could any form of “smart” tracking technology be designed simply to produce useful aggregate data to inform the various public projects and institutions that would make use of it, without identifying any individuals beyond what is explicitly mandated by some verifiably democratic process. This is all actually possible to do.
To be clear, I am not saying that any person you will currently find talking about “smart” technology is proposing to use it in this particular way. In fact I am all but certain they are not, given what I mentioned about politics being conditioned by the economic system, and I have no idea what Kennedy’s intentions are. I am just saying it COULD be used in this way – so let us at least be honest about that and not throw the baby out with the bathwater just because we lack the imagination to conceive of anything other than the present state of apparently boundless corruption of all things government. This is why I keep highlighting the market economy’s propensity for corruption, dishonesty and fraud; That is exactly the key here.
“Obviously, I’m a fan of a lot of tour current technology but only if it isn’t weaponised against us.”
Trouble is, almost all of it exists simply to be weaponized against us.
If you believe there’s a ‘bird flu’ coming to get you,
if you have a Fear of Germs, a Fear of Contagion –
(“The Yuk Factor” that makes you wash your hands,
douse yourself in ‘dis-infectants’) –
…….you’ll go along with the mass slaughter of chickens so
they dont give you ‘bird flue’; you’ll go along with the mass
slaughter of cows so they dont give you ‘bird flue’;
you’ll go along with anything that keeps you safe from
‘bird flu’, even if it removes meat from your diet…
You’ll also go along with the slaughter of pigs, especially
if you believe the claims they’re the species ‘bird flu’
most likely will use to jump to to infect hoomins…
And you’ll also go along with the mass slaughter of family
pets (cats & dogs), if it’s claimed they too can be
used by ‘bird flu’ to jump species – you’ll go along with
everything if you think it will keep you safe !
Unfortunately, the wets haven’t grasped what Lord Sumption said that ‘there is more to life than the avoidance of death.”
And ‘peace is not just the absence of war.’

Don’t forget (a) pet birds (b) any birds outside, including those that might come in.
I was nearly 11 in small town Australia when Kennedy was assassinated and I didn”t know why but I felt in my bones that the world would never be the same again, I was correct but now I know why, I found out why in My Lai and Kim Phuc, napalm and mass slaughter over hysteria and paranoia.
I was mostly living in an underground shelter, the hysteria and paranoia was the same, but we still found tranquility once we saw the light of the year.

But surely ‘neo-feudalism’ describes our current situation well too – through the impoverishment of all classes except the one percenters and our socio-economic and political enslavement.

Yes. Worth reading. And with JD on the Trump-Vance ticket,

Funnily enough, it was wearing a suit and tie in Germany, back then, too…

Do the tptb hope this ‘assassination attempt’ will help Trump gain the presidency? I think RFK Jr is the wiser choice for Americans. I could be wrong about him but I don’t think he is a swamp creature and is playing it safe before the election. Let’s just specualte a bit. Does there not seem to be a wall-to-wall MSM (and alt-media) smear campaign against him including where they twist his words, omit important things he has said (as well as a downplaying of his popularity)? He is not perfect, far from it but I don’t think he is the swamp creature so many on OffG say he is (like Trump/Biden/Kamala/Putin/Zelensky/Starmer/Johnson et al are). He did push the climate Emergency stuff when he was younger but he has walked-it back recently (since the plandemic opened his eyes) and said he now thinks it is more about control rather than genuine environmental concern. A recent tweet I have found of his: Robert F. Kennedy Jr@RobertKennedyJr Jun 16 ” President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will drive billions of dollars into hair-brained carbon reduction projects like offshore wind, which produces energy at five times the cost of onshore wind and does enormous harm to dolphins and whales. Carbon fundamentalism, which values the reduction of carbon above all else, overlooks the reasons most people want to protect the environment in the first place, such as saving rare species and habitats. As I told @MeatEaterTV host @StevenRinella, this may constitute the biggest mistake the environmental movement has ever made. I think RFK Jr suports independent, decentralised crypto-currencies as ONE option of many but he is definitely not supportive of a cashless society/completely digital financial system. “ Does he go along with the zionist rhetoric because of blackmail or he has signed particular law-binding agreements etc?… Read more »
Apologies, please excuse my typos (and copy-paste mistakes on the RFK Jr tweet), I’m very tired today!
I’ve just seen today that RFK Jr has come out saying he would like a ‘direct democracy’ system usin AI/blockchain – now I think that would be a VERY bad idea indeed. People will remember how the Dominion digital voting machines were/are corrupt – the main cause of voting fraud (along with paper ballots) so imagine how fraudulant you could make a digital direct democracy system? I would definitely discourage this idea!
Holocaust fundamentalism is OK, and mandatory.
The Divided States of America…
The wholesale demolition of the US continues unabated.
From the twisted polarized political system run by the uni-party to its imploding infrastructure (supply chain breaks, transportation derailments, countless food production facilities destroyed etc. etc.) to its crumbling financial institutions and out of control inflation.
Still it continues with its foreign legions and overt and covert wars.
This is how Empires are destroyed when the enemy is so far inside the gates that it now controls who can and can not enter.
Cui bono?
The invisible hand of the Satanic Cabal of course.
Same as it always was…
“All violence is political. Politics is violence.” … (anon) …

Is Donald Trump the elites “Wreck-It Ralph” who will pave the way for an “enlightened international governance”? (Jacob Nordangard)
Excerpt (opening):
At the same time as the media directed all attention to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the second revision of the UN’s Pact for the Future was released. Almost no one takes notice of the negotiations taking place. Trump also represents all the “dangers” that the proposed new UN system intends to solve. In the Pact’s introduction, a warning is delivered that we are about to cross a dangerous tipping point that risks giving rise to a more uncertain and chaotic world:
Can we assume that such a tipping point is Donald Trump being elected US President? But according to the United Nations, there are both “opportunities” and “hope”. The crises and challenges that are looming on the horizon will not be solvable by individual states alone. Instead, it opens up for a new multilateral system that “harnesses advances in science, technology and innovation” to create collective action.
According to WEF adviser and historian Yuval Harari, the election of Donald Trump will inevitably accelerate the dismantling of the old system. Trump becomes the face of the global crisis. This is as per design.
Indeed. If you need a billionaire to free you, you are just opting for a different brand of prison.
My feeling is this “assassination” attempt is as fake as the “virus”.
If it was fake, do you think Trump knew about it before hand, i.e., was “in on it”?
Yes. That’s why he went for the pose after. If it were real the ss and him would not come back up, in case other shooters
Just seems too coincidental doesn’t it. And then Hulk Hogan shows up at the convention. But if Trump knows it was fake and was in on it, that’s a pretty big burden to bear, even for him. The audacity would be off the charts.
Yeah, but its still nothing compared to your charted imagination.
He’s been an actor his entire life, putting on a show. Trump on Oprah in 1988.
He wasn’t even a real property developer, he was laundering money for the Rothschilds.
These Jesuit, Freemasonic shills like Trump laugh at the naïveté of their supporters.
Here’s a thought experiment: Would it matter?
Damn well matters to me. If he is elected again, that would mean the POTUS played an active role in one of the most deceitful acts ever in the U.S., imo. Treasonous level. I’m surprised more aren’t latching on to that actually.
RE: most deceitful acts ever in the U.S.
Wow you have a low bar. I would think that Operation Warp Speed (the poisoning of tens of millions) would rank higher than a faked shooting.
The system is corrupt, Biden, Trump, they’re all interchangeable. It doesn’t really matter if they are witting or not. (In fact it’s better if they are unwitting, then they have sincerity on their side). They only have power when their actions are in line with those that do.
I think I’d rank Hiroshima/Nagasaki up there, the millions killed in the M.E., etc., etc. I’m talking a different level of in your face deceit, so ya, it matters to me as does all the deceit. And really, the system is corrupt and the POTUS is interchangeable? Gee, I’d have never known if you hadn’t told me. Come on, man.
Never mind when Hillary converted all those gold bars into gold shiny tungsten turds, that didn’t go over so well to those of us watching.
Well, I guess I’m wrong. It’s perfectly normal for an ex president, presidential candidate to actively participate in a fake assassination on himself in front of the entire world, if that’s what actually occurred. Nothing to see here because there are worse things. Ya, that’s the ticket.
The question is why?
I can’t come up with a single reason why the front runner in a presidential race would risk his lead with a stupid stunt like that. All he would be doing, if he really were in on it, would be putting the thought in voters’ minds that maybe they shouldn’t vote for him because he’s likely to be assassinated for real once he’s elected.
And the way Mr. Trump loves to parade (show off) before others, he would constantly be putting himself at risk. It just makes no sense. Because even in our 100% scripted political theater, there could still be a nut or two out there who takes the “assassination” trope to heart and runs with it.
On the other hand, I can’t believe they missed. So, why did they miss?
It’s supposedly hard to hit a moving target. And Mr. Trump’s head is constantly on the move – maybe that’s why!
If you believe so, I have an arrow and an apple i’d like to shoot off your head at 8 yards, game on?
I’m not sure I get your point, but I don’t believe I said one way or another. I just posited a question. I think I included the word, “if” in there. So how about I shoot the fucking apple off your head.
I think you mean a “BIG RED ARROW.”
The Secret Service deployment in Butler was pretty fake, yes. The local police distracted the shooter so he missed.
The country’s local police are pretty freaked out bunch right now, when any zero can lead some cops into an ambush they get a bit jittery theses days.
It may be reported that they are supposed to run into any danger, but really they are more suspicious at this point, and just one split second goes by, a shot goes off, and nothing is ever the same.
Most assassination attempts stop for a camera shoot 3 times during it.
Fake!!! The man was shot 5 times. He had time to ask for his shoes, raise his arm ( Statue of Liberty style and shout fight fight fight! What’s Hollywood about that? . Now, stop wagging my dog, this ain’t no Truman or orange man episode 😉

Blood banks are contaminated. Japanese med. experts have stated this publicly.

Another article about the Orange Man scripted ‘assassination attempt’. How many more to come?
I realise the authors have a US perspective regarding the encroaching ‘Police State’ but it is a worldwide issue. The authors could expand their horizons and use their expertise to discuss and inform on the situations from outside U.S. They seem increasingly insular with each passing article.
Unfortunately, for the average American, it seems the controllers have decided to throw USA under the bus. All the world’s ills will be placed at its door, it will be blamed for everything, since its use to them is fast running out, except perhaps for its military muscle. Once the dollar starts falling significantly, along with the US stock and bond markets, its ridiculously huge national debt will no longer be sustainable and it will be game over.
I would suggest the average American stop worrying about ALL of the actors aka politicians and so-called assassination attempts and start planning for the forthcoming chaos and hard times. The 1930’s is coming a knocking again only this time it will be could much worse.
Just remember the debt is fictional. The central banks are owned by the same cartel who own all the private, incorporated governments. Hence there’s no real debt. It’s just numbers on a screen.
They need people to believe in the debt psyop so when they institute the controlled demolition where they seize all the funds in bank accounts, money market accounts and ordinary shares, it seems more plausible.
First, assassinations did not start with JFK, a deep state creature like Trump. I am not good at american history but it seems to me you had political assassinations all your history and the country like my own country was born in violence. How is it that now you are implying that hatred and bigotry are guilty for Trump’s fake assassination attempt. Or are you saying that assassinations suddenly made the public hateful bigots? Imo you have a societal collapse. This is how society breaks down. And the reason is that organized professionals are killing and terrorizing you without you being able to do anything about it, you are in a helpless state and justice is not served. So naturally people want to fight and hang the criminals who did them wrong, which means violence. E.g. you fought the British empire, didnt you? But now people have no idea who is the real enemy and we have these theories about Hitler-Trump being the enemy or the person next to you who is going to vote for Killery Clinton. I agree that society copies the psychopathic persona and we enable tyranny. And yes, this can lead to demoralization and acting out violently against easy targets. People were ruled by a tiny oligarchy almost our whole history, yes, they were few and we were many. So what? Do you think we defeated them by just you know “uniting” and “speaking against injustice”. You will see that it is not going to happen. MLK received grants from the Rockefeller foundation and the dream of black and white united in some sort of Antifa paradize is not going to come true.
Jackie O’Nassis acted quickly to pick up special FX pieces so they wouldn’t be discovered by the people.
She wasn’t in shock, never looked to see if he was actually hit, never tried to get a response, simply acted (rehearsed).
Only the dumb are buying into the trumptrap/democrats thing. I tried to tell one neighbor that secret service, 18 Delta and other high skill agencies have height requirements. His response was “I know, DEI”. Well, it doesn’t work that way. The fake agents didn’t even have muscle memory handling the weapon; shows a total lack of training. They aren’t going to put them out to protect a candidate. Trump himself would’ve stopped it, as he doesn’t want untrained and incapable agents protecting him.
If you have to make excuses for your political choices, you need better choices.
Biden Trump, Micky Mouse – what difference does it make? Sounds like a cynical question; it’s just honest.
Police violence must not destroy this country.
Martin Luther King, JFK, dancing doos in nearby streets after 9/11. Whys did all this happen??? Because of the Police violence and because of the Police State in America.
Because the Police never did anything, never do anything, but let it happen! All shame on the Police, and all sorrow come from the Police. Because the Police didnt do anything about it.
America will never be America again before the Police State is defunded and OFF the streets, and average Joe is back on stage in charge of America. Long Live the US Constitution!
Inflammatory rhetoric isn’t new to US politics, Sinclair Lewis wrote his story “It Can’t Happen Here” in the mid-1930s about a fictional fascist takeover of the US that used characters easily identifiable as contemporary politicians, for example. The difference between ‘then’ and ‘now’ is that the brakes have been taken off, people who should known better openly refer to such nonsense as “Second Amendment Remedies” and the like which only serves to validate violence as a legitimate political tool. Leadership should have been systematically dialing back all the conspiracy theories** and inflammatory rhetoric but instead its been using it, seeing it as a convenient short cut to gain and maintain power. This never ends well.
(**Never forget the notion that “Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get me”. The best place to hide is in a crowd.)
I must say that given the millions, indeed tens of millions that the USA have murdered overseas since 1948, it is quite remarkable how the odd death within the USA is suddenly so important.
It does show the obscene endemic racism within the entire US population, since a large majority of Americans really don’t care at all about the millions of foreign dead.
Of course all death is dreadful, but I’m sorry to say this: it’s about time that the global murdering was shared a bit more equitably, with many, many more Americans dying and far, far fewer foreigners dying.
wow. r u disturbed or what?
I think he wants all Americans dead, including me and you if you are one. I’m not sure where he’s from, but obviously a much better country.
‘If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged’.
Noam Chomsky
But Rhys, they are dying, and in large numbers.
Obesity, suicide, drug deaths (illegal, prescription and alcohol), domestic violence, workplace accidents (employer neglect), shootings, medical ‘accidents’ and of course, the experimental vaccines.
USians are being murdered by stealth, by corporate avarice.
Karma. The more US citizens do kill and have killed overseas, the more Americans will be killed slowly at home inside America.
Eaten up by inside cancer, kidney deceases, SADS, blood clots, AMD’s, skin mutations, lung and bird deceases.
Sorry guys, but this is karma. You cant do anything against it. You cant defend yourself against it. The more you bomb, the more you will hurt yourself…………………..LOL.
