Why It Matters

Todd Hayen

I have always considered myself a rather apolitical person, even to the point where I didn’t bother myself with what was happening in the world.

I was fine as long as my home government kept the wolves at bay (meaning they kept me safe from foreign invasion). Yes, a pretty naive and selfish way to be, I admit, but I managed to maintain that stance for most of my adult life.

I have always been interested in what I believed were government anomalies: the JFK assassination, the moon landing, the 9-11 fiasco. But I always believed they were just that—anomalies—not “business as usual.” Even though you would have thought that I would have been convinced otherwise when the Twin Towers came down, it wasn’t until Covid, and the research that ensued from there, that I became thoroughly certain the corruption of the US government, and governments the world over, is the norm.

I don’t need to go into detail regarding the extent of this corruption—and I don’t think the word “corruption” adequately describes it. What we are experiencing here, and have been experiencing for decades, if not centuries, is the complete opposite of what the majority believe about these systems.

They not only are not what they seem to be but are consciously and intentionally the opposite. They are presented as something that is benevolent, good, upstanding, and decent, but in reality, they are the complete opposite—they are malevolent, bad, deceitful, and indecent. To the point where they can only be described adequately as blatantly evil.

This fact is a fact few people can swallow.

It seems to be nearly impossible for average folks to entertain this possibility, let alone see it for what it is, an indisputable fact. I am sure most of you reading this would agree with my assessment. How do “they” pull this off? Your guess is as good as mine. But considering that this sort of inhuman intention has existed in smaller quantities for eons in the “human cosmology” of planet Earth, it really doesn’t take much brain power to see it forming on this massive global scale.

Sure, we could argue for hours regarding the evidence for my statements here. And maybe I have some of the details wrong. But again, there isn’t much of a way to explain what is happening, and what HAS been happening, without this as the explanation.

If you think you have a different explanation, let me hear it. I would much rather be proven wrong than proven right.

And some people (maybe even some sheeple) may even agree, but then say, “So what?” These people may continue with comments like,

“There has always been corruption, people high up who want power and money, and do bad things. There are the world’s Hitlers, Maos and Stalins. There are people like this out there now, and there always has been. The world isn’t perfect, but it is self-regulating, and these “bad” people eventually get their comeuppance and fall from power and the world settles back into relatively benevolent homeostasis.”

That’s what they tell us.

Historically this may appear to be true, but we have never been in a state as we are now where the global world order itself is tainted and dysfunctional. The “bad” factions have always been relatively small, and the powers that eventually subdue them have been relatively large and more powerful. And we can’t ignore the fact that maybe what we have always perceived as the “good guys” were actually the opposite—bad guys masquerading as good guys. Maybe in a more passive-aggressive way back then, but still “bad.”

If you take the time and look with detail at the atrocities the world experienced during the Second World War you can accurately say, “Well, what we are experiencing now is nothing like that.” This may be true in appearance. But that assessment does not mean it can’t eventually get that bad.

More than likely, however, the future destruction of the world will not take the form of physical annihilation of buildings, land, and physical human lives (although we certainly can currently experience such “old fashion” obliteration in Palestine and Ukraine) but will instead begin with the destruction of humanity.

What will the destruction of humanity look like? First and foremost, it will involve the separation of humans from their soul. Most “sheep types” will not find this to be a threat, as the “soul” is not a real thing to them, it is an abstraction, a made-up religious word that most of them probably do not even believe exists (getting people to this state was one of the first efforts of the agenda). This soul detachment will take place in a variety of ways, and many of these methods are in place right now. You know what they are, I need not take up space here and list all of them.

The transhuman movement is probably one of the most prominent methods of soul detachment. Medical technological advancement is the primary culprit in this currently successful movement. Again, I need not explain how this is happening, but most people do not care, and if they care at all, they typically are all for it as it means to them a longer human life (or I should say, “longer physical existence”—let me leave the word “life” out of it). Maybe even an existence with less physical suffering.

So why does any of this matter?

We can do without a soul, we can do with more fun, more days added to our now-too-short physical lives, less suffering, we can do with more “things” to play with, to enjoy. What is so bad about that? Human beings in most situations have already been made slaves to the system, and have been such for quite some time.

We are used to it, how will it get so bad we actually notice it? Most of us have not yet.

Needless to say, it will get worse. But what is “worse”? The word “worse” generally implies that it will become more uncomfortable, more unmanageable, more painful. These unpleasantries may not actually come to be. It is hard to say if we would be “uncomfortable” if we all lived in a physical bubble and never moved around, never enjoyed the sun, never enjoyed human interaction, never could feel anything bad or uncomfortable with our senses. Wouldn’t that be nice, and “comfortable?” Would being soulless be “uncomfortable?”

We measure physical comfort with the senses. The brain, the intellect, measures information coming from the senses and interprets the information to be either painful or pleasant. Why do we no longer measure comfort with the heart? Well, for the most part, many of us still do, sometimes. But that awareness dies with the death of the soul. When the soul is dead, the heart is dead as well.

And with a dead heart, we can live in our bubble, in our Smart City, in our vaccinated stupor, with our chip-infested brains, in our synthetic bodies—we can live this way with comfort of the senses. We won’t need the sun, hugs, touches, love or nature to commune with from the heart. Nothing that the senses will detect will be unpleasant. The heart, however, will be soul-less, and won’t be able to feel a thing.

This is where we are headed. And this is why it matters.

Great wisdom be found here. https://youtu.be/iDG65ESEqZk?si=-XQUx0fPaLgD-PoO

It’s a war for your mind, where is your mind? What is your focus? Where is your attention? Your whole life’s work could be taken at a moments notice, so what’s the point? What’s the meaning of it all? Why am I here?

Spent so much time studying their ways, now it’s time to put it down. Is it conspiracy fatigue? Corruption fatigue? Once you know, do you spend the rest of your life screaming from the roof tops? I believe to message has been sent loud and clear and now it’s time to change tact. For me at least.

Wu Wei. To me it means intuitive living, doing the perfect thing at the perfect time without thinking. Drop the fear and enter into trust. A living practice based in faith.

The rules of engagement were altered after WWII by the the evil that is directly in control of our world and by their proxies. That more people have potentially been murdered since WWII then during it by various and nefarious means seems possible.

Corruption in the Alberta Medical and Political Systems Gaslighting Death w/ Dr. William Makis The Lavigne Show Sep 3, 2024 https://rumble.com/v5djdhx-gaslighting-death-w-dr.-william-makis.html https://makismd.substack.com/p/exclusive-interview-jason-lavigne Join us for a compelling episode featuring Dr. William Makis, a vocal critic and researcher who fearlessly addresses alarming trends emerging from the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Dr. Makis’ research focuses on the surge of “turbo cancer” cases, misconduct within the Alberta healthcare system, and the disturbing silence surrounding the sudden deaths of individuals previously in robust health—including doctors, pilots, athletes, and young people. Dr. Makis argues that the mainstream narrative systematically downplays or ignores these issues, effectively gaslighting the public. “There’s a pattern of sudden and unexplained deaths that simply can’t be ignored,” he states. “Yet, there’s a concerted effort to dismiss these cases without thorough investigation, labelling any concern as misinformation. This is not just irresponsible—it’s dangerous.” In this episode, we’ll examine Dr. Makis’s findings and discuss their broader implications. Why are these deaths not being more rigorously investigated? What does this mean for public trust in our health institutions? And how are families and communities coping with their grief and seeking justice amidst widespread denial? “Gaslighting Death” aims to unravel the complex layers of this issue, highlighting Dr. Makis’s determination to bring these critical concerns to light, despite facing significant opposition and criticism for his outspoken stance. Tune in as we explore the disturbing phenomenon of sudden deaths in healthy individuals and the battle against the gaslighting of their loved ones left behind, all within the context of a healthcare system grappling with allegations of deep-seated problems. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danielle_Smith Marlaina Danielle Smith ECA MLA (born April 1, 1971) is a Canadian politician, former lobbyist, and former columnist and media personality who has been serving as the 19th premier of Alberta and leader of the United Conservative… Read more »

Well Todd, delightful article but when talking about global affairs and evil we cant, unfortunately, leave God and the Devil our.
Because these two figures, abstractions, symbolics is the only explanation that makes logical sense as answers to your factual article.

The book of Ecclesiastes makes logical sense, Jesus Christ’s advices and promises makes logical sense.
The story of Eden, and the symbolic of Cain and Abel makes logical sense.

People are so pessed on God because he kicked us out of paradise for a good reason.
All the excuses, “it was the woman’s fault, the Devil’s fault, the Politicians fault, it rained too much that day, we had a bad President, our children had a flue, we just wanted to do Your (God’s) way better”, didnt buy in.

All right, so people dont like to hear about God, dont like to repent, and therefore the simple and easy reason and solution becomes difficult.

You don’t think things will get more physical? Thinking of the Bolshevik terror in Ukraine and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. And in case anyone thinks people today are more civilised, then take a look at what’s going on in Palestine.

The signs are all there that this is a global takeover every bit as fanatically communist, or whatever term you prefer, as in previous times, though the methodology is more technologically advanced now.

I said eventually they probably will get more physical. The infrastructure will eventually collapse, and people (the useless eaters) will live in squalor.

I think never before has the global power been able to control minds how they do now…and never before have the masses been so stupid and so willing to succumb to instant gratification, and whatever it takes to “feel” safe. So I think there is a lot that can be done before the physical mayhem begins. And of course, war will exist somewhere in the world all of the time, horrible war, as that is part of the way we are brainwashed.

Now I think it was Naomi Wolf who first wrote that she thinks the jabbed she came across socially during visits to NY had become vacant, muted, less vibrant. (Sabrina Wallace might say that their biofields have been nano-captured or shrunk) But does anybody know of anyone else alleging this?

I myself regularly have contact with multiply-jabbed med staff and have not identified any change. Although at only 3 deaths per 1,000 jabs (Steve Kirsch’s figures), maybe those I encounter were lucky.

You would think that it would be easy to test Hayen and Wolf: have the jabbed stopped sunbathing, hugging, hiking if they did a lot of that prior to the poison death shots?

Or maybe Hayen’s changes occur gradually as the Hirschman clots form in the body. who knows.

I think the jabs are just one of the methods being utilized, and I can’t even be sure of that. I recently wrote an article that addresses the possibility that the jabs are causing emotional and physical “deadening”—zombification. Michael Nehls approaches this medically in his book “The Indoctrinated Brain.”

This article is suggesting that the central focus of the “agenda” is to zombify all of us, not just through meds, and jabs, but through EMF, food, water, restrictions, transhuman procedures, etc.

ultimately of course we are all alone in this struggle to hold onto our humanity and we have to find the strength we need inside, where our souls connect us to a higher power, whatever that power might be, but it can be such a relief to know that there are at least a few others who share our concerns and strivings, because as for me, you know, I’ll admit it, I can’t say I don’t behave like a sheep a lot of the time, I feel the pull of the herd and going off on my own in a totally different direction sets off those alarm bells, which is why when I come here and see everyone who’s contributing to this little community, often staking out far-flung divergent positions yet somehow united in that basic struggle for humanity, my heart leaps and my despair fades away

Community? Only if you do violence to the meaning of that word, IMHO.

Your visits are nice, but your habit is good only for as long as you have Internet access without a digital ID, assuming you will reject such a thing when it is mandatory for going online.. .

Then you need meatspace contacts in your neighbourhood, ones you can contact on foot absent any vehicle needing payable (CBDCs) fuel: astandinthepark.org is very good for that if you are in the UK.

You’re right of course that people refuse to accept the idea of evil. In the news today in the UK an unmarked mass grave of 300 babies, children and adults has been discovered. The news reported it in the context of ‘stillborn babies’ but children and adults are not ‘stillborn’. The news reader reported on it in a matter-of-fact tone – quite dispassionate. This was from the 1980s. Who are these people and how did they come to be buried in a mass grave in a country that was once considered civilised? Where is the shock, the horror, in the response to the tragic events in the world? Does no one care anymore?

You are right, of course, Todd. It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain cell. The problem is that too many people cannot bring themselves to believe how evil some people can be.
The elite have learned through time how to manipulate through lies and propaganda. They control education and the media. They use terms like tin hatters and conspiracy theorists to frighten the faint-hearted.
Let us be honest, nothing happens by chance, therefore everything bad is the plan: Drugs, Pedophilia, Slavery, War, Poverty, Starvation, Terror, and Terror attacks, Chemically induced illness including Autism, Loss of freedom and rights and on and on.

Proving how central the Cold War was to the Western powers. That “Godless communism” has now collapsed, the desperate bullshit has become ever more pathetically obvious.
Note the staggering duplicity of this:

“In a first-ever joint article, Sir Richard Moore and William Burns wrote in the Financial Times, external that they saw the war in Ukraine coming “and were able to warn the international community”, in part by declassifying secrets to help Kyiv.

And they said there was work being done to “disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage” across Europe by Russia, push for de-escalation in the Israel-Gaza war, and counterterrorism to thwart the resurgent Islamic State (IS).”

What utter fucking liars!

And then this:

“There is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War.”

These verminous little shits have been attacking the living standards of the population ever more ruthlessly since the neoliberal turn.

As I’ve noted before, when we look to the psychopaths as the source of all our problems, and merely slap humanity itself on the wrist, we have completely missed the real source of all our problems. People do not simply allow the psychopaths free rein out of a sense of “What can you do?” Oh no, they allow it because historically it’s been the psychopaths’ crumbs which landed on their plates and fed them – didn’t feed them well, but it was better than nothing.

Those who blame it mostly on bankers are on the one yard line but refuse to go farther. The problem isn’t bankers – it’s money, which the bankers merely control.

Give people a choice – a real, true, genuine choice: your money or your soul. And they’ll choose to jettison their soul every time.

Todd,

If ever a frog has been boiled, surely the following is a prime example of batrachian calorific enhancement.

In the last week, I discovered via commenters on this site that, in Australia, if you fail an assets test, you lose your “age pension”

This is not a benefit but a retirement plan that you have paid into over your working life.

Forfeited if you have been too successful.

I’m still trying to get my head around it but here is the government site:

(Thanks to Rolling Rock)

https://simplyretirement.com.au/australian-age-pension-tests

How on earth did they get away with this ?

Serious question, aussies. How did you let them do this to you ?

Especially as NZ rejected it.

The danger in UK is that the new management may be looking at the scheme, especially after spaffing 20B into a green hole, paying 10B to train drivers (opening the door to more excessive wage demands)

Evil baddies zzzz the Russians.
Guess what the retirement age is..?
for men from 60 to 65 and for women from 55 to 63.

U.K one of the worse in the west in the last 10 year has gone to 67 and I am sure they will put it up again.

There version of your Retirement plan is. YOU working until your 85 then being put in nursing home then feed drugs – keeping you alive as long as there is equity left on your house and then getting cancer then hospice then spending all your money you have left paying 10k for the funeral.

Those born between October 5th 1954 and the beginning of 1960 can draw their state pension. However, if you are in the public sector you can retire earlier.

Yes, I agree the U.K. state pension is one of the poorest in Western Europe.

I am afraid the notion that people can work until 85 is a fallacy for most on lower income the greater, statistically, the chance of dying well before the age of 85.

If they remain at home, they might take care of themselves or someone else might help them. Better for capitalism to keep them on the treadmill, so that they (a) kick the bucket earlier or (b) get sacked for some bungle.

 1901, average life expectancy for UK men was estimated at 45; by 2001 it had risen to 75 years – an increase of 30 years in a 100 year period, equivalent to gaining just over 7 hours of life expectancy every day across the century. This rise in life span reflects public health and medical progress, rising standards of living, better education, improved nutrition and changes in lifestyles. The changes in life expectancy have also led to changes in the life course, with more people living to older ages and experiencing retirement. When the first old age pension was introduced by Lloyd George in 1908, the age of entitlement was 70, whilst average life expectancy was below 50. 

In other words, the expectation from the state was you either be dead or only live a few years past retirement age for the state pension.

Since average life expectancy has increased, the number of people claiming the State pension has exponentially climbed in the decades from its initial introduction.

Moreover in the last 44 years, the state has been, in overall percentage terms, contributed less to the State pension. Hence why they have incrementally increased the pension age entitlement.

medical progress, rising standards of living.. improved nutrition and changes in lifestyles

Most of the “medical progress” was a disaster. Effective treatments disappeared as soon as the patent or oligopoly ended. To repeat what others have said, the benefits claimed by medicine came largely from sanitation and clean water. Now, “advances” like fracking, mining and GM are poisoning water and farms again.

There is little to show for “rising standards of living”, only the rat race, besides more obligations, stress and debt.

The war on small-scale traditional farming means the opposite of “improved nutrition.

“Changes in lifestyle” largely comprised (a) reducing and even denigrating physical activity (b) spending on conveniences. As part of oligarchy and the debt hydra, distances traveled daily increased to require dependence on machines.

Criminal speculation, misuse or transfers may have wrecked most of the funds meant to support retirees or the destitute. Hence the criminal efforts to extend retirement age, impose new restrictions (e.g. extended retirement age), or simply censor or evade growing destitution, addiction or inadequate government services.

In part, but also advances in treatment of heart conditions/ cancer and many other conditions. Moreover, advances in technology such as CT MRI scans to help with diagnosis plus the revolutionary surgical techniques such as key hole surgery for a wide variety of ailments.

There is doubt that advances in computer technology have aided in medicine increasing by leaps and bounds compared to 40 years ago.

Plus, before WW2 people had to pay for treatment and couldn’t afford to pay for medical treatment hence why after WW2 the string pullers were forced to accept the NHS. Yes, I know many people take out private medical insurance but it’s still free at the point of delivery.

Just to clarify the point, what do you imagine happens to all the money someone has paid into the state pension fund, which can vary from 10- 35 years in National Insurance contributions, after they have died?

Depending on circumstances after all the dependants of the deceased have died, ie wives/ husbands/ partners, do you think the money is reinvested back into state pensions ?

That depends on whether you are designated with diseases such as Alzheimer’s then their dependants can apply for court order to have power of attorney over their relative/ loved one.

Moreover, the dependants can appeal if they believe their relatives, loved ones have been coerced in doing what you suggest.

There was a big campaign in UK quite recently to encourage those who did not have up-to-date national insurance contributions to pay a lump sum to make up for the years they missed contributing. The sales pitch was that they would then be entitled to a full state penion at retirement age.

Obviously, if the media testing of the water in respect of means testing UK pensions becomes policy, that would then result in some people losing state pension rights.

The additional contributions pitch was basically a tax grab to help fill the current black hole, not to fund it for the future.

I think anyone under the age of 60 who is hoping to enjoy a state pension should think again. The pension system is bankrupt as are many national governments in all but name.

The questions are, how an ever growing number of retirees will financially survive in retirement and how the various regimes will deal with the problem?

It’s a lot worse than that.

Todays pensions are paid from todays tax take or, if that’s all been sent to Africa, borrowed from the never,never bank to add to the national debt.

When you work in Australia, a proportion of your salary is paid into a PRIVATE SUPERANNUATION FUND, this is the money people are expected to live on in retirement. If something goes wrong with that, the state pension is there as a back up.
The premise of every word you have written on this topic for a week or more is absolute crap.

Don’t deflect from the truth:The underlying premise of every word you have written on this topic for a week or more is absolute crap.
Someone worthy of the respect you apparently crave would have the ability to recognise and/or apologise for an error.
We all make them so I don’t understand your complete inability to acknowledge them no matter how obvious they are.
You prefer to whine about being picked on when in fact there is no antipathy expressed towards you at all, the comment that upset you was a dry statement of fact.

Okay. You called me out so I did some more research.
There is a 10 year residency requirement.
This would assume that either taxes would have to be paid or benefits claimed in order to later claim age pension, but there doesn’t seem to be a contributory requirement, so on that point I concede and apologise for my comments based on my ignorance of the system.

It’s true that I don’t understand all of the nuances of the schemes in oz partly because I find it too incredible, but the fact that NZ thought it wasn’t a moral thing to do says a lot.

The renaming of a contributory scheme as a “benefit” is truly Orwellian.

But then, I suppose that’s par for the course now.

How on earth did they get away with this ?

Almost all “democratic” legislators are “managed” closely. If a new law is required rather than merely an “executive order”, emergency proclamation or re-interpretation of existing law/regulation, that is no hindrance.

Well written Todd. Most normie friends shrug it off with “there’s nothing we can do but go along with it” and someone said exactly your paraphrased quote last week “I wouldn’t worry about it too much mate, there’s always corruption” – as if that is his psychological coping mechanism to deal with a new world order panopticon surveillance grid closing in all around him – he accepts it and does not really mind.

I think the Transhumanist ideology will gain traction as the C19 injected become increasingly aware of their mortality and are offered augmentation and ‘upgrades’ to prolong their life-spans.

There was no clever tech or plan for the jabs. Only mad-scientist fakery made to order, and colossal profiteering. Every additional jab brings the victims closer to the final end of their problems. Blood donation is spreading the danger.

Research on data for mRNA jabs from US CDC, Cleveland Clinic and insurance risk assessment shows the following:
– Those who had 5 jabs including 3 “boosters” were 35% more likely to die in 2022 compared to 2021
– Each jab increased mortality by 7% in 2022 compared 2021.
– The “fully” jabbed will lose 25 years of life expectancy.
– The damage to health from each jab does not lessen with time.
– The un-jabbed were no more likely to die in 2022 than in 2021.

Great article and clever image. The title refers to James Douglass’ book: “JFK & The Unspeakable: why he died, and why it matters” the cover of which is a profile of JFK with his head bowed deeply, lost in thought. As I recall, he was disappointed after an unexpected negative reaction whist campaigning. Deeply reflective.
Though I agree with your analysis, I do not share your pessimism. This is a spiritual war, and Human spirit will always triumph over the un-spirited – though it may not be a physical triumph. I am reminded of the beautiful Roman/Greek statue of “The Dying Gaul” who rather than submit to slavery, takes his own life (and his poor wife’s. The sentiment is that the Gaul chose to live and die according to his own terms. Whilst I am not suggesting we take our own lives, we can choose to live (and die) according to our own values – irrespective of the insanity and amorality which surrounds.

Faulty memory: I had conflated 2 different sculptures. I was thinking more of the Ludovisi Gaul who is supporting his dead wife and is in the act of killing himself. I preferred the other statue, but he is dying from wounds inflicted by his enemies. Both have great dignity.
