A Tale of Two PSYOPS

CJ Hopkins

Once upon a time, on a planet called Earth, there was born a global-capitalist empire. It was the first global empire in the history of empires. It dominated the entire planet.

No one knew what to call the empire, because there had never been anything like it in history. It had no external adversaries, so it had nothing left to do but “clear and hold,” i.e., neutralize internal resistance and consolidate its domination of the planet.

So that is what it set about doing.

It did this first in the territories of its final ideological adversary, an empire called the Soviet Union, the ideology of which was known as “Communism.”

This was known as the “Post-Cold-War Era.”

It did this next in the Greater Middle East, where people were still trying to live their lives according to a religion known as “Islam.”

This was known as the “Global War on Terror.”

The Global War on Terror was originally intended to go on forever, and it would have, and it will, but it had to be temporarily suspended, and rebranded, because something unexpected happened.

One day, in the Summer of 2016 — theretofore officially “The Summer of Fear” — the global-capitalist empire noticed that a new form of resistance to its domination of the entire planet had risen up, not in the former Soviet Union, or the Greater Middle East, but throughout the West, right in the very heart of the empire.

And so the War on Terror was suspended, and the War on Populism began.

The War on Populism raged for four years, and culminated in the rollout of the New Normal, officially known as “the Covid pandemic.”

For over two years, i.e., from March 2020 to approximately December 2022, the global-capitalist empire morphed into a new form of totalitarianism, a global-capitalist form of totalitarianism, which was not like any other previous form of totalitarianism.

This period was the shock-and-awe phase of the rollout of the New Normal Reich.

The transition to the New Normal Reich was broadcast throughout the global empire. The message was unmistakeably clear. From now on, there would be a “New Normal.” It would be like a permanent state of war, a permanent state of civil war. And so, from now on everyone would need to pledge their allegiance to the New Normal Reich, and follow orders, or be labelled an “extremist,” a “science denier,” a “conspiracy theorist,” or some other type of seditious deviant.

The vast majority of the citizens of the West understood the message, followed orders, and pledged allegiance to the New Normal Reich. But a sizeable minority did not. The global-capitalist empire needed to neutralize this sizeable minority.

The majority of this sizeable minority was comprised of conservative, libertarian, and other basically right-leaning people. It contained a few old-school left-leaning people, but they were a minority within a minority, and so they weren’t really a factor when it came to neutralizing the larger minority, which the empire promptly set about doing.

The Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP

In October 2022, Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire military contractor, electric car salesman, and transhumanism enthusiast, and a coterie of serious global-capitalist entities and individuals purchased the social media platform known as Twitter, Inc. for 44 billion US dollars.

Musk walked into Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters grinning like a chimpanzee and carrying a bathroom sink, and the Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP began.

During the War on Populism and the shock-and-awe phase of the rollout of the New Normal Reich, Twitter, Inc., and every other social-media platform and mass-media outlet in the Western world, had been functioning as the empire’s Ministry of Truth, disseminating official New Normal propaganda, censoring dissent, and unpersoning anyone challenging the empire’s official narratives. And thus, it provided the perfect stage for the PSYOP the empire was about to conduct.

Musk reinstated a number of prominent, primarily conservative Twitter accounts that had been deplatformed for “posting misinformation” about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the “Covid vaccines,” and for posting “incitement” and “glorification of violence,” and bigotry and other such offensive content, among them, the account of Donald Trump, and tens of thousands of Trump supporters.

As Elon had promised, “the bird was freed”! Elon acolytes and grateful garden-variety Trumpians and other right-leaning persons poured onto Twitter to thank their savior for reversing the company’s target demographic, thus saving America from “Cultural Marxism,” and “Communism,” and the “Woke Mind Virus.”

The PSYOP continued with a textbook limited hangout known as the “Twitter Files.” Musk let a few carefully selected journalists run a few searches at Twitter HQ, which exposed how the former staff of Twitter had been collaborating with elements of the Biden administration (i.e., not the global-capitalist empire) to censor and deplatform people — mostly those in the new “red” target demographic — and was part of some strictly-USA-operated “Censorship Industrial Complex,” which was absolutely not a global operation, and had nothing to do with any global-capitalist empire, or a “New Normal Reich,” because all the censorship and “shadowbanning” — which was all in the past now that Elon was in charge — was the work of a cabal of deep-state libtard bureaucrats, who were all a bunch of “Commies.”

These revelations in the “Twitter Files” prompted Republicans in the US Congress to hold a series of subcommittee hearings into the possibly unconstitutional behavior of the Biden administration and its libtard proxies (i.e., not the global-capitalist empire), which had forced Twitter, Inc., and the other totally helpless Internet corporations to “shadowban” and censor Americans (i.e., not everyone else all throughout the empire that these corporations were also censoring in a clearly coordinated fashion).

And then, right on cue, once the story had been framed within a US-centric “red/blue” narrative, Musk shut the “Twitter Files” limited hangout down, i.e., before it could do any damage to the global-capitalist empire itself.

For the next two years, Elon and his cronies inundated their new target-demographic with “Free-Speech-Twitter” propaganda, sentimental Elon Musk-hagiography, and a never-ending series of PR-stunts. Twitter was officially rebranded as “X.” Musk went to war with Brazil’s Darth Vader, and Thierry Breton, and assorted other “Commies.” Twitter users were besieged with memes of Elon dressed up as Captain Free-Speech America. Et cetera.

And so the Musk Cult was born.

Meanwhile, X is continuing to censor and “visibility-filter” content at the behest of governments throughout the empire, as well as in furtherance of its own objectives.

If you think that fact has had a negative impact on the Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP, on the contrary, the Musk Cult has only grown broader and stronger. Like any other cult, it is impervious to facts. All that matters is loyalty to the cult, and the leader of the cult, and the cult’s official narrative. You can direct Musk cultists to the Twitter Safety pages where “visibility filtering” is explained, and cite countless examples of Musk’s hypocrisy, and it will have absolutely no effect whatsoever. Like every other successful cult leader, Elon is beyond reproach, incapable of sin, a god made flesh.

But deifying Elon was not the primary objective of the Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP.

The primary objective of the Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP was to harness, corral, and establish control over the majority of the sizeable minority of people who refused to follow orders and pledge allegiance to the New Normal Reich when it was rolled out during the “Covid pandemic.” These people needed to be herded into a manipulable mass and redirected away from the global-capitalist empire and into a harmless cul-de-sac where they could scream and shout at the empire’s designated scapegoats to their heart’s content. The Musk Cult was just a means of herding and leading them into this cul-de-sac.

“Free-Speech Twitter” is this cul-de-sac, and is a microcosm of a larger cul-de-sac.

Which brings us to the second PSYOP.

The America Made Great Again PSYOP

One of the most effective ways to neutralize an opponent is to let them win. This is especially true when you’re dealing with an opponent you can never entirely defeat.

What you do is, you lure your opponent into a battle you can afford to lose, because you need to actually lose the battle, and let your opponent actually win, i.e., not just trick them into thinking they have won, because … well, your opponent isn’t stupid.

This battle that you lure your opponent into and let them win will be a battle over a territory within a territory, but which your opponent believes is “the territory.” You can afford to lose control of this territory within a territory because you control the territory it exists within, and because your opponent doesn’t know that.

The trick is getting your opponent to believe that, by winning this battle, they have won “the war,” and that they now control “the territory,” and have destroyed you, or have otherwise removed you from power, when, actually, all that your opponent has destroyed or removed from power is a corporeal decoy, a material incarnation of an invisible, immaterial adversary, an adversary they do not know exists, or which they refuse to acknowledge the existence of … assuming, of course, that is what you are.

At which point, you have neutralized your opponent.

For example, say you’re a global empire, a supranational global-capitalist empire, and say your opponent is a populist insurgency, a potentially revolutionary mass, that you need to distract from contemplating your supranational, invisible, immaterial nature, and from the fact that the governments of nation-states are essentially administrative components of this invisible immaterial empire that you are, and thus it doesn’t really matter to you which political party administers these nation-states or who the leaders of these parties are, because they can’t really do much damage to you, because all they control are the material territories within the immaterial territory you control, which predetermines the context and the scope of their actions, and the parameters of their imaginations, and … OK, you probably see where this is going.

Or, I don’t know, maybe you don’t. So let me try to simplify it.

There is no “America” to make great again. “America” is a simulation. It is a map of a territory that does not exist. It is a dream within a dream in a film that no one can see because everyone is watching. It is a brand name for an imaginary product.

OK, that didn’t make it any simpler, did it? Let me try this one more time.

We are living in a global-capitalist empire. One big global-capitalist empire. We have been for the last thirty-something years. All of us. Americans. Canadians. The British. The French. Australians. Germans. Russians. Israelis. Palestinians. Iranians. All of us.

The global-capitalist empire is not a cabal of powerful individuals. It is a system. And that system is evolving. Metamorphosing. Transmogrifying. Evolving into a new form of totalitarianism. A global-capitalist form of totalitarianism.

It is the system, and not its servants, that is driving … driving this systemic evolution. It makes no difference whether Elon Musk, or Donald Trump, or Macron, or Starmer, or Netanyahu, or Gates, or Bezos, or Soros, or any other political “leader” or powerful figure knows what they are doing. They serve the system, as the system requires, each according to their specific role and scope of action within the system.

Elon Musk did not “save free speech” or “rescue Twitter” from a “Woke Mind Virus.” He purchased a corporation and rebranded its product for new market demographic. In so doing, he corralled and neutralized most of the conservative populist resistance to the evolution of the global-capitalist system … which is what the system needed to happen. It makes no difference whether Elon Musk understood his role. He played it perfectly. He is continuing to play it perfectly.

The Musk Cult is growing. Its apostles are preaching the Gospel of Elon throughout the empire, paving the road to The Privatization of Everything! Verily, it is the dawn of a golden age of “Freedom” ruled by global corporations and beneficent oligarchs!

However, before that golden age can begin, America must be made great again! And so the Free-Speech Twitter PSYOP has to be repeated on the macro-level. The same conservative populist resistance to the evolution of the global-capitalist system that Musk corralled and neutralized needs to be corralled and neutralized everywhere … not just in America, everywhere, all throughout the West and the rest of the empire.

Once it is corralled, and neutralized, and whipped up into a frenzy over “Wokeness,” “Cultural Marxism,” and “Communism,” it can be unleashed on the remnants of the dying age of nation-states, national sovereignty, constitutions, and so on, which will prompt the Global Powers That Be to take extreme measures to “defend democracy,” which will prompt the Other Global Powers That Be to take more extreme measures to “Rescue the Republic,” which will prompt the Global Powers That Be to take even more extreme extreme measures to “defend democracy from fascism” and … OK, this time, I do think you see where this is going.

Or, I don’t know, maybe you don’t. But I don’t think I can make it any simpler. And I don’t see any way to stop it or fix it. It isn’t an error to be corrected. It is the organic evolution of a system … a supranational system evolving into a new totalitarian form.

So, there you have it, a tale of two PSYOPS. I’m sorry that it isn’t as comforting as a story about how Donald Trump and Elon Musk and their global-capitalist investors, and their subsidiaries, agents, and assigns, are going to “make America great again.”

If it’s any consolation, one thing is certain … whatever happens, it won’t be boring.

CJ, this is brilliant.

I didn’t know holy-elon isn’t the sole owner of twitter.
Interesting, limited hangout from Forture (linked in the article) doesn’t say how much is his share. In the era of digitize-everything that shouldn’t be a problem to find out. I don’t know, maybe there is a law out there that prevents such information of utmost public interest to be disclosed and is probably cloaked with the notion of Privacy – facts about capitalist cockroaches need to be hidden from the light of public scrutiny. Think next time when you will appeal to Privacy about this aspect, too.

There are still real powerful individuals that act as nodes in the “cabal” – the invisible clique behind the system that CJ speaks of. They are just not the faux powerful individuals that haunt our collective imaginations. The system itself is a societal morphic field, the cabal field nested within it like the eggs of the parasitoid wasps injected into the host caterpillar emitting alien mRNAs that influence the behaviour of the caterpillar to favour the wasp larvaes’ interests until they eat their way out.

“The global-capitalist empire is not a cabal of powerful individuals. It is a system.”

Indeed. As facilitation is not the same as control.

A bank gives money to rivals A & B and seeks to profit from both. Does that bank want both A & B to prosper so that it can glean interest from both? Yes of course.

Are A & B genuinely rivals rather than just fake binaries? Yes, they are indeed at loggerheads.

Does the bank control everything that A & B do? No

Ergo, ‘GloboCap’ does not rule the world. Its powers are limited. The real action is on the ground

some interesting points, but I don’t buy this notion of some unknowable, organic system being in control. Somebody pulled the trigger on that headshot in Dealey Plaza, and somebody hired and paid them to do it, not some formless system. Whatever engineering brought down those buildings on 9/11 was implemented by people who were hired and paid by other people. The propaganda disseminated by our media is crafted by people who have definite intentions towards definite purposes – we might not understand them at the time, but they are still there. We’ve already uncovered many of them and we should never stop digging for more.

Throughout history, organization of human societies has consistently been hierarchical. This hierarchy typically consists of a king, a royal family, a symbiotic nobility and priestly class, and the general population. While the specific titles and roles have varied, the pyramidal nature of this organization has remained persistent.

Following the French Revolution, the bloodlines that ruled Europe for over 1,000 years concluded that being dragged out of their palaces and guillotined in the public square was suboptimal. In response, they cloaked themselves behind intermediaries, constitutions and the construct of the marketplace, conceding that their role in human affairs was now purely ceremonial.

While this alleged transformation supports CJ’s premise that we are ruled by systems, not men, I’d counter that unless this “system” is sociobiological, it has been designed, maintained, and manipulated by humans. This raises a crucial question: Have these millennial powers truly abdicated their rulership, or have they merely adapted to new methods of control?

You are missing the fundamental driving force in what is happening – do not expect cnnbbc to tell you this:

World crude oil extraction reached an all-time high of 84.6 million barrels per day in late 2018, and production hasn’t been able to regain that level since then.

https://ourfiniteworld.com/2024/09/11/crude-oil-extraction-may-be-well-past-peak/

And to keep the reactors running … we cannibalize nuclear warheads:

For many years, the US was able to down-blend nuclear warheads (both purchased from Russia and from its own supply) to get around its uranium supply deficit.

Warheads to watts: US turns old nukes into HALEU for nuclear reactors
The problem of maintaining nuclear weapon stockpile and then dismantling them when the old warheads are retired is a global one, and the United States seems to have found out a solution for it.

There is a growing demand for reactor fuel today as countries around the world are looking to shift to nuclear energy. The US is now turning its unexploded nuclear warheads into fuel that can be used in modular power stations.

The report states that the nuclear warheads are being turned into high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) at a government facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Introduction

Though nuclear war has not been overbearing threat since the end of the Cold War, there are still fairly large stockpiles of nuclear weapons across the world. As of 2015, the US still has approximately 2000 deployed warheads, 2000 reserve warheads, and 2000 waiting to be dismantled. [1] These stockpiles present a clear danger to humanity.

However, it is possible to convert these weapons of mass destruction into usable energy for civilian usage. This idea was actually implemented during the 1990’s and early 2000’s in a program called “Megatons to Megawatts.”

[2] It presents an alternative use of nuclear fuels that has the potential to curb weapons proliferation. [3] The premise of this program was that the US should buy decommissioned Russian nuclear warheads as a fuel source for civilian nuclear reactors.

This is done through a process of down-blending the highly enriched uranium (90% enrichment) with natural uranium to create low enrichment uranium (5% enrichment) usable in nuclear reactors. [4] The plan worked well for many years until the agreement between Russian and the US deteriorated.

Overall, it was reported that about 20,000 bombs (~500 tons of HEU) were decommissioned and turned into nuclear fuel. [5] The previous references give a nice overview of the Megatons to Megawatts program and the process for down-blending weapons grade HEU to civilian power ready LEU. [2,3,5] The purpose of this article is to begin to answer the questions:

Stanford dude had problems with reading/understanding, the article says, in my words, 500 tons of HEU that could be turned into 20.000 warheads. A huge difference.

As far as I know HEU is used mostly for submarine reactors and for some special purposes but not bombs.
Most nukes are plutonium based, it’s cheaper, can be made smaller. I can’t provide reference for my claim, but, you know, I had read quite a lot about this shit.

Megatons to Megawatts is misnomer to a huge extent. It’s highly unlikely many uranium nukes have been made because plutonium is better for the purpose.

“It’s a great, easy source” of fuel, says Marina V. Alekseyenkova, an analyst at Renaissance Capital and an expert in the Russian nuclear industry.

Converting Nuclear Weapons into Useable Fuel

Weapons-grade uranium is highly enriched to levels of over 90% concentrations of U-235 (the fissile isotope). Weapons-grade plutonium (Pu-239) stagers over 93% purity. Its unstable properties make it highly radioactive, giving it the potential to heat up to critical temperatures. The elevated temperatures result in more nuclear reactions within the Uranium. As a result, more radiation is released. The HEU is ideal for weapons since it can react incredibly violently, resulting in a decimating atomic blast.

The instability is necessary to create the infamous explosions nuclear weapons are renowned for. However, the concentration is far too great for commercial nuclear power plants to handle safely. To be converted into nuclear fuel, the HEU must be diluted.

Diluting HEU

Before reaching the reactor, enriched Uranium must be diluted to lower its temperatures, making the isotope less reactive. The procedure involves blending the weapon-grade material with already spent nuclear fuel. The highly enriched uranium (HEU) of over 90% is taken down to just 5% enrichment. The addition of extra material prevents the uranium from dangerously overheating, causing more fission, and more ionizing radiation

The process begins at the nuclear weapon. The HEU metal must be carefully removed from a warhead. The process is extremely dangerous and requires precision machines to dismantle and handle the radiative material. The radiation is far too great for a human to perform the operation. Once extracted, the metal is machined into shavings where it can then be oxidized.

Uranium is highly soluble, meaning it easily dilutes in water. However, in an oxidized state, it becomes insoluble. In preparation for shipping, uranium must be oxidized so, in the event of a leak, the radioactive isotope will not leach and contaminate water sources. After oxidizing, the Uranium is fluorinated.

After fluorination, the resulting highly enriched uranium hexafluoride is mixed in a gaseous stream with slightly enriched uranium (spent nuclear fuel) to form LEU (Low Enriched Uranium) suitable for use in commercial nuclear reactors.

Once dismantled and diluted to a safe operating temperature, the radioactive material that was once housed in a nuclear weapon can be used inside a nuclear power plant. For the last two decades, using dismantled nuclear weapon material has become an integral part of energy production in the United States.

The materials salvaged from the bombs for energy production at the time accounted for 50% of the nuclear fuel and about 10% of the electricity produced in the United States.

“It’s a great, easy source” of fuel, says Marina V. Alekseyenkova, an analyst at Renaissance Capital and an expert in the Russian nuclear industry.

“Weapons-grade plutonium (Pu-239) stagers over 93% purity. Its unstable properties make it highly radioactive, giving it the potential to heat up to critical temperatures.”

Totally wrong. It has very low alpha-radioactivity with a half-life of 24110 years (quite stable), no danger to heat up. Pu-238 is the one that is very hot.

“Uranium is highly soluble, meaning it easily dilutes in water.”

Metal to be soluble in water???????

“The HEU metal must be carefully removed from a warhead. The process is extremely dangerous …… The radiation is far too great for a human to perform the operation.”

Painfully wrong. Uranium has very low alpha radiation, gloves are enough for protection. Uranium particles eventually coming inside the body are far more dangerous because of heavy metal poisoning and radiating inside the body.

So, three huge mistakes. Can you take this source as reliable?

Gordon Duff was formerly at veteranstoday.com. He wrote on the theft of much of the decommissioned warhead material, through creative accounting.He also reported that under Obama, there was an attempt by US AF freaks to steal some deployed warheads. One remains missing.

Megatons to Megawatts program will conclude at the end of 2013
In February 1993, the Russian Federation and the United States signed a 20-year, government-to-government agreement for the conversion of 500 metric tons of Russian highly enriched uranium from nuclear warheads to low-enriched uranium to fuel U.S. nuclear reactors.

The agreement became known as the Megatons to Megawatts™ program. Over the life of the Megatons to Megawatts program, the low-enriched uranium produced under the agreement provided about one-third of the enrichment services needed to fabricate fuel for U.S. nuclear reactors. The program will end in December 2013.

Interesting thing about the Trump appointments is that all the most promising nominees (especially Tulsi & RFK) happen to be individuals who talk sensibly and say what I wanna hear nearly all the time, except on the single glaring issue of Israel, on which their stance is inexplicably detached from reality. And they aren’t shy about it either, they speak of Israel with roaring praise and adulation, completely out of character with their apparent integrity and intelligence. It puts everything I think I know about them into question. If it weren’t that one thing I’d have nothing or very little specific to point at to accuse them of being sheepherders. I honestly cannot think of a way to explain their stance except as a coordinated divide and conquer psyop. But still, it shocks me to see and constantly has me second guessing.

Apparently the establishment’s strategy to divide is going all in on Israel as the wedge issue, which honestly is surprising to me since i hardly know of any legitimate “red pilled” conservatives who are pro israel at this point. i’d think that the strategy is unlikely to succeed but obviously the establishment disagrees

People in the west are brainwashed and can be a bit dim. For example, they will demonise Iran for stoning women for adultery – they treat women so badly – while they remain allies with Saudi Arabia who also stone women for adultery. And remain allies with Israel who kill women and children for being Palestinian. The west has nothing to respect when it comes to improving the world.

The people are brainwashing themselves. There is such a deep seated hatred of Muslims in this country ever since 9/11 that anything anyone says against Muslims is taken at face value. Americans ignore Saudi’s Islam because they want its oil – and they already know they don’t rely on Iranian oil (most of that goes to China). Besides, Muslim women are of no concern to most Americans, who just like to feel superior to other people.

My feelings exactly – about RFK Jr. I have commented about this many times since August 2023 when Kennedy appeared on the Jimmy Dore show and dropped those Israel/Palestine bombs. Excuse the unfortunate pun.

I do not think for one minute he actually believes what he said, or continues to say.

Initially, I thought he had been pressured/threatened. Now I wonder if he was offered a deal. Save the thousands at the expense of a few (Palestinians).

The HHS nomination.

Kennedy’s Israel/Palestine pronouncements in 2023 were a defining moment for me. It pointed out as clear as day, as if I needed any more clarity, that the system is rigged, corrupt and perhaps beyond redemption.

It’s all politics as usual.

Again a long article with very contorted logic:
a. Not everybody is / was on twitter x, least of all the minority described there so I can’t see any psyop: a very large portion of the world doesn’t care about musk, before and after the purchase so it cannot be affected by his actions.
b. Winning by letting the other win is another funny concept. Maybe counting the votes was easier or better this time. It really doesn’t matter to the world who is the president, we will see the results (if any) shortly.
The article opening was ok (few paragraphs at the beginning) but then it went astray with repetitions and fallacies (this is my impression about it, probably divergent from other commentators)

I wonder whether this system has in fact a hidden nucleus. But, anyway, I think it has one weakness: pride (and I don’t mean the rainbow-coloured one). Those people Up There, on this Olympus of theirs, or the Inner Party, or however we’ll call them, are so drunk with power that they themselves think they are gods. Which, of course, they are not. They are not omniscient (not yet at any rate), omnipotent nor immortal. So, I think this Empire is eventually going to fall, like all the others in the past (after all, it’s just the means that change, not the human nature). How and when – I have no idea. But I think that sooner or later the Powers That Be will make a mistake, will overlook or underestimate something or someone. Of course, I wouldn’t put any hope in any polititian or a political system; but the history teaches us that human possess a surprising ability to withstand totalitarian control, and to survive in hiding long enough for the system to collapse (and sometimes even to help it collapse a little bit sooner). So, to wrap it up, I think there is still some hope left for those who don’t really like the Powers That Be and their ideas of a dystopian utopia. But it is just as certain that no billionaire and no political party or leader is going to save us. We must be able to survive long enough to notice the opportunity when it appears, and use it.

yeah, they are not that intelligent, sorry – too many of the lies are not that hard to spot, and more and more people are recognizing them. Corporate media has been revealed to be largely propaganda, and that is a genie that can’t be put back in the bottle, ever. They are trying to propagate the same techniques into alternative media spaces and are already being called out on that. So I am optimistic that our awareness is growing every day. Right now we can only speculate on who and what these people really are because we have no actions to measure them against. When Trump takes office and all these people start to act instead of talk, it will quickly become evident what we are dealing with, and people are going to be watching very closely given our current state of mistrust of the system in general.

Once again, as I’ve noted many times, the globalist-capitalist coalition/system/totalitarian schtick can never entirely work no matter how well it’s planned. And that’s because there’s something missing from it: more precisely, 8 billion somethings. The system leaves out the world’s people as irrelevant to the process.

The system reels from the incredible ease with which the people are duped. There’s a wonderful line from a Doctor Who episode in which the character of Harriet Jones says to the Daleks “You know nothing of humans – and that will be your downfall!” Ditto the Global Cap crap trap. It is, as CJ Hopkins says, a System. And Systems know nothing of humans – and that will be its downfall. You may dupe humanity a billion times until that one time too many. And it is coming (if humanity doesn’t destroy itself first).

Casting out, or projection, uses the mind to set up a dissociating ‘split mind’ as the vehicle or basis for experiencing as a victim+victimiser.
The function of mind is extension – as you give so do you receive.
Giving to Get Rid Of – or projecting to exclude, opens the idea of Self-attack.
Doublethink or self-contradictions generate a block to Communication that can be reframes as the Adversary and the Deceiver.
The basis from which a mind and world of fragmentation could only arise is simply
Garbage in; garbage out.
If you partake of the fruit there is a warning attached.
It is not forbidden -else it could not be partaken of.
The warning is not in the past as karmic nor implicit in a projected future of retribution. But as the inherent dissonance of being that accompanies being out of your right mind. As with being called away from any preoccupation or focus, we can defer or delay recognising the call by masking responses; “In a minute!”. “I’m just finishing this”. When the dissonance grows our countermeasures grow with it.
“Go away – cant you see I’m busy”, “Shut up – there’s a war on!”
The ramping up of unhealed conflict will then attack the Call, or at least the messengers of the Call.
Death then becomes an appeal to escape the Call in self-vindication, or vengeance on life seen treacherous & deceitful.

The monkey trap has a locked down hollow gourd, with a fruit inside but a hole only large enough for the monkey’s hand to enter.
The grasping at a fruit that is not sustenance but slavery or death runs as a locked down think of a false possession. We can release that fruit to learn the difference, but in our current world-view we generate endless variants by which to protect our investment in guilt as a source of power for Getting.

Hopkins claimed to be a leftist but he’s actually a hard right American Zionist whose wife is Jewish. He has sneered at his own readers numerous times, claiming that anyone using the word ‘Zionist’ is an antisemite. He said his wife’s business is the reason he can’t leave Germany and escape prosecution.

Zionism may be a major controlling force behind the NWO but he will never say that.

This idea of a Musk cult has been invented by Hopkins. He has lost the plot since the Gaza genocide. I’m not a Musk fan but accept that Musk freed Twitter from the FBI. He was furious the Babylon Bee was banned . He bought it despite losing a lot of money.

All of them perished. I wonder if there is a self-destroying mechanism inside every “Reich”? Even in this New Normal Reich? A fault, a glitch as yet unseen in the System?

There’s the powers that be and the powers that seem to be; one is overt and the other invisible. Take for instance the financial power of the City, big C, of London, not the conurbation. It recently dismissed the Prime Minister of the UK, Truss and replaced her with THEIR candidate Sunak. The invisible power trumped (ouch) the ostensible. Then, how many other invisible powers are there? There’s very old dynasties which have huge charismatic power and of course secret societies, religions and badness knows what else.

It wasn’t exactly a ‘world war’, was it?

World War II involved Europe, parts of East Asia, North Africa.

North and South America were entirely unaffected. No fighting took place on any of that continent.

Most of Africa south of the Sahara was entirely war free. Another vast part of the globe with no fighting.

Not sure that a great deal happened in the Middle East either. Nor in India. Nor in the vast interior of China.

It was predominantly a Eurasian War. Not a World War.

The winners funded both sides of the war: US industrialists funding the Third Reich and then ‘America’ ‘coming to Britain’s rescue’. The US made money through the war, Europe bankrupted itself.
