Hegemony and Propaganda: Love Your Servitude! 

Colin Todhunter

Today, we are witnessing a profound transformation. We are increasingly impacted by algorithmic decision-making, artificial intelligence, data proliferation, data harvesting and sophisticated monitoring of how we think and act.

This affects how we work, how we access services and how we relate to and interact with others.

While digital innovations and online platforms offer unparalleled ease, they also raise critical concerns about our independence. The constant connectivity and data-driven decision-making that characterise modern life has major implications. Technological advancements are used to shape preferences and behaviour, and predictably, powerholders use the notion of convenience to manipulate and exert control over populations.

Giant corporations and the state are leveraging what is often termed ‘technological solutionism’ to establish a digital iron cage of control. By monitoring and predicting our thoughts and actions, these intertwined entities impose a tightening noose of automated systems, suffocating personal liberty.

We are increasingly hurtling toward a reality reminiscent of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, where a dystopian technocracy merges with a plutocracy. Huxley foresaw a society where the ruling class maintains control not through overt oppression but through subtle manipulation and distraction, effectively creating a system where people are conditioned to accept their servitude without resistance. In this emerging landscape, the values of order, conformity and compliance reign supreme, overshadowing individual freedoms and critical thought.

In agriculture, technocratic control is increasingly evident in the push for a ‘one-world agriculture’ dominated by AI, genetic engineering and precision farming, all under the sway of a few powerful corporations. Companies like Bayer, Cargill, Corteva, Syngenta, Microsoft and Amazon, along with influential investment firms that hold stock in companies throughout the agrifood chain, aim for the standardisation of food systems.

Their vision is a monopolistic, cloud-driven agricultural framework that prioritises control, dependency and uniformity over diversity and local practices. This approach threatens to reduce our food systems to an even blander, more standardised product line, stripping away traditional farming methods and local knowledge.

In culture as well, the trend is starkly toward standardisation. The goal is to dilute or erase traditional knowledge, local customs and diverse worldviews, creating a bland, uniform, AI-driven existence that can be easily controlled and manipulated. This push extends to a radical alteration of human biology itself through transhumanism.

The transhumanist agenda seeks to enhance human physical and cognitive capabilities through technology, aiming to transcend what it means to be human. This ambition aligns with the drive for a one-world agriculture, envisioning a standardised, technologically enhanced version of humanity (genetically engineered humans).

When we scrutinise the transhumanist agenda, it reframes our understanding of movements like transgender rights, relaxed border controls and the breakdown of the nuclear family. We begin to see a vision of beings uprooted and detached from countries, families or fixed genders — the ultimate one-world human.

For deeper insights into these implications, consider the work of Silvia Guerini, who critically examines transhumanism and its far-reaching consequences.

Some may argue that this is merely human evolution. But history shows us that there has never been a predetermined, linear path for humanity. Our past is marked by conflict and struggle, where outcomes were never guaranteed.

Moreover, who determines that the current powerholders driving these agendas are the ‘natural’ heirs to humanity’s legacy? Who grants them the authority to dictate the fate of billions? They have seized this role for themselves.

It is not bit-part players like Musk, Bezos or Gates who are really orchestrating the agenda — it is those who hide in the shadows, not least the powerful banking families. According to Dean Henderson, this includes the Goldman Sachs, Rockefeller, Lehman, Kuhn Loeb, Rothschild, Warburg, Lazard and Israel Moses Seif families (see The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families).

It is clear from the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual get-together at Davos that global powerholders and their minions do actually believe they have the right to sit in judgement over the fate of billions. They have contempt for genuine democracy and think they have some divine entitlement by virtue of stolen wealth or wealth acquired by manipulation or from sweated wage labour.

The mainstream narrative would have us believe that these people have the best interests of humanity at heart, rather than ruthless, arrogant, devious schemers with contempt for the mass of humanity.

It is revealing that in a 2007 interview, the late Aaron Russo, US filmmaker and businessman, shared claims about conversations that he said had taken place with Nicholas Rockefeller. According to Russo, these discussions took place some months before 9/11.

Russo claimed that Nicholas Rockefeller told him about several future events and plans, not least an “event” that would lead to the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Russo claimed that Rockefeller had said the “event” would be used to initiate a “war on terror” without a real enemy, which Rockefeller was said to have described as a mystification to control US citizens.

Rockefeller was also said to have stated that there were plans to reduce the world’s population by half and that paper currency would be replaced by subcutaneous microchips containing digital money (that can be switched off by the state) and personal information as a means of controlling the population.

Nicholas Rockefeller allegedly referred to the mass of the global population as “serfs” or “slaves” who must be controlled, and he questioned why Russo would even want to care about the fate of such people.

Rockefeller was also alleged to have told Russo (to Russo’s surprise) that the feminist movement was funded by the Rockefellers to get women into the workforce to tax them and to weaken the authority of the family so that the state could boost its control over future citizens by moulding children at an earlier age.

These claims are unverified, but a quarter of a century on from when the conversation is said to have occurred, it would be wise to consider just how much closer we have moved towards the world revealed by Russo.

A massive drop in sperm counts, the destabilisation and invasion of countries and the curbing of individual rights under the guise of the ‘war on terror’, the pushing of cash to the margins, a climate emergency narrative, talk about climate lockdowns and restricted movement, programmable digital currencies possibly linked to carbon footprints etc.

But we do not have to rely on a conversation that perhaps took place a quarter of a century ago to evaluate the motives and machinations of this elite. An elite that in 2012 was claimed to have had up to 32 trillion dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe. Who could say what the figure might be now, 13 years later, as the flow of wealth from ordinary people to multi-billionaires accelerated during the COVID episode.

These so-called ‘wealth creators’, who have for centuries been appropriating ordinary people’s wealth, who have stashed it away in tax havens, who have bankrupted economies because of their reckless gambling and greed and who have imposed a form of globalisation that has resulted in devastating destruction and war for those who attempt to remain independent from them or structurally adjusted violence via privatisation and economic neo-liberalism for millions in countries that have acquiesced.

Attempts to redress the balance have been brutally suppressed over the decades. From democratic leftist organisations or governments pursuing alternatives or just displaying independent tendencies, this elite class has used intelligence agencies, front groups, threats, co-opted leaders or military might to attempt to subvert or annihilate any threat to its global hegemony.

Anyone familiar with the work of the late historian William Blum will be aware of the human cost in terms of lives lost since 1945 alone, thanks to his book Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions since World War II.

First published in 1995, the book examines US military actions and covert operations, presenting a critical view of US foreign policy and its imperialist motives. Blum documents more than 50 instances of US interference in foreign governments, many of which were democratically elected and provides a thorough analysis of the consequences of these actions.

For more in-depth insight into the global elite, Robert J Burrowes’ three-part series on its nature, actions and goals is essential reading as is his open-access e-book Historical Analysis of the Global Elite: Ransacking the World Economy Until ‘You’ll Own Nothing.

The WEF and its enablers in national governments talk about ‘food transitions’, ‘energy transitions’, ‘digital transitions’ and countless other ‘transitions’. But these benign-sounding terms mask a profound restructuring of our societies — the WEF’s much-promoted great reset that is anything but innocuous.

At its core, this restructuring represents an intense effort to further concentrate wealth, power and control in the hands of the world’s self-appointed masters. They aim to once and for all fully subjugate the masses, who will incrementally find themselves being (digitally) hammered into complete subservience.

Huxley’s critique of modern society suggests that an elite can govern more efficiently by using psychological methods, such as conditioning and propaganda, rather than traditional forms of coercion: a “painless concentration camp” where true control could be achieved by making people love their servitude.

So, each step of the way, populations across the world (in the BRICS countries too) will continue to be psychologically manipulated (‘nudged’) in to believing that being tracked and traced, implanted with chips, injected with nanoparticles, censored, stripped of individual liberties, criminalised for displaying an opinion that does not conform with the official narrative or digitally ID’d will be for their convenience, their safety or to protect ‘free speech’ or ‘democracy’.

Democracy in name only — long ago hollowed out by government creditors, subverted and controlled opposition and corporate capture.

What we are seeing is a fundamental reset that aims to determine not only our relationship with power but the very nature of our existence and even the right to exist as a human.

So, what’s the solution? There is no simple answer. Articles like this are often read by individuals who already recognise the importance of education, organisation, activism and non-compliance. The key challenge lies in mobilising a critical mass of people to bring about the necessary pushback and change.

While some might scoff, many are actively working towards this goal. And we should never forget — We Are Human, We Are Free.

Some of the issues raised in the article are discussed in the author’s new open-access e-book, which can be read here.

I know, it all sounds so incredibly harsh in our oh so benefiting times of spoiled consumerist cuddly wellness-ideology, but our so-called “white race” has long been a predominantly genetic discard due to degenerative processes. I may remind you that race means a process of genetic hardening and crystallizing, which of course all the self-proclaimed Sunday “Christians” among us demonize as evil Darwinism.

So it’s about quality, not quantity! A qualitatively good leader can command thousands of qualitatively underdeveloped followers! I always like to cite the example of the East Prussian Trakehner horse breed, which – despite the Allied extermination by insane bomber pilots – managed to reach the West in only a few numbers, but from which and precisely for this reason a noble, high-quality breed was distilled.

No worse than letting the IRA take over in Northern Ireland. Make a Terrorist an MP and he is now part of the system. Yet we still see OAP’s who were in the Army in 1970’s being prosecuted, but known IRA/UDA Terrorists walking free, thanks to the Good Friday Agreement. The system is a con, and the Common man is being conned.

Trust the oh-so-real “Average Global Temperature” and horror stories from places selected for this year’s burn-up under HAARP – and not your actual lived experience of the weather.

BTW Trump wanting the USA to take over Gaza is merely the start of what’s going to be a long process of Trump saying (and occasionally doing) increasingly insane things. It’s going to be what Sunak did to throw the UK election but on a much larger scale. One facet will be how the “progressive” media start proclaiming everyone’s fallen in love with Starmer as a result (“he may be boring and lack the common touch… but seldom have Keir Starmer’s strengths of moderation and calmness and reason been more essential”. This bilge writes itself. It would be bad enough if Starmer was moderate and calm but it’s his Fabianism that’s the lunatic extremism).

I warned that Trump might be like Boris Johnson after the 2019 landslide victory. The similarities are uncanny – like it’s the same playbook.

“Let’s get Brexit (MAGA) done… by going Net Zero 15 years early, shutting down society over a few runny noses, and starting a proxy war with Russia.”

Except this time it’s bird flu, war with China, and cryptocurrency. And god knows what else. We’re only weeks into it.

Awareness of the underlying ‘rules+filters’ governing or framing of perception and response, opens the freedom persist in judgemental of wilful
a-tempt to force perceived reality, or release a locking-down of the will to such dictates into true willingness or freedom of being – as distinct from freedom assigned or associated with imaged forms of object-reality.
Judgement set over meanings projected onto image & form (the body of the world) will always split (the) mind to a judging over-&-apart from the judged. Nor will it escape the measure it accepts by giving.
Yet within the giving or projecting of meaning & power to a world outside+apart from its ‘self’ is a driven+conflicted life+world denial, limitation & loss.

So adaptively normalized is the ego-mind as judge over & defenses against a world of fear, threats & evils, that felt & known reality is blocked by the rules and filters of temporary ‘solutions’ running narratives of object-continuity against recognition of truth.

Fear of truth looks not within as the conviction of self-damming judgements (for why else do we seek+find the errors & sins of others but to divert & mitigate inner guilt-conflicts – over which a narrative mindset masks in vengeance as victory over a past set in grievance.

The mind that makes a world be-lived real can not be our true Creator if we can uncover and notice it.
Nor can it really Be a power set over and against true Creation, if by such recognition, we can release and be released of it.
A split mind is acted out on bodies, because Mind cannot be conflicted in itself. What is a ‘split’ but a projecting from Mind for Getting or to Get Rid of?
Think you can escape the Mind of your Creator? or that you would Want this true if you could but be-live you Can and Have?

I write of my own willingness to let truth in. Not to make true or contest conflicting ‘truths’ seeking power in a world of lies.

The ego is already a golem under AI. Already an artifact of a matrix of rules & filters. That it ‘creates in its own image and kind’ is the nature of Mind – except limitation and division ‘creates’ an abundance of debt, conflict, pain and loss. But a mind made opaque to truth by its own ‘diversions’ can also choose to release such blocks to awareness to realigning in transparency to life and existence as Communication of wholeness in being.

There is no way to pour ‘new wine’ into old paradigm or mindset. But the instant of remembering truth is as ‘the father rushes in’ to greet a ‘lost son’.
We say ‘awareness rises’ to a recognition, but is it not really that something else fell away which had engaged attention.

Hegel says nobody ever learned from history. Hegel’s obviously wrong. The US authorities learned a whole lot from the Vietnam War. An incredible amount. First and foremost, they learned the OODA loop, which enabled US pilots to crush North Vietnamese aces who had been humiliating them, and which continues to generate all sorts of strategic as well as tactical benefits ever since. Next, they learnt no draft, volunteer armies only. Next, they learned to either keep journalists out or imbed them. And also, they learned to fight in deserts and never in jungles. This is just for starters.

• Journalists are also far more submissive these days.

It seems they have not absorbed the lessons from then since they continue to invest in overpriced equipment not fit for a prolonged war ie Abrahams tanks, F16s, F35s and various artillery systems. Moreover, they lost a tremendous amount of aircraft and helicopters from the AA systems of the North Vietnamese provided by mainly the Soviets.

During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface­-to-­air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors (MiG)s. The great majority of U.S. combat losses in all areas of Southeast Asia were to AAA. Among fixed­wing aircraft, more F-­4 Phantoms were lost than any other type in service with any nation. In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft and helicopters.

Hegel didn’t oppose history. He was History. The embodiment of ‘World Spirit’. The forerunner of any future World Government.

Schopenhauer (the eternal pessimist; some kinda Buddhist?) and Kierkegaard (life as essentially absurd) did (at least) make an attempt at some kinda counterargument, but didn’t get very far, it would seem.

And so the dream of future of World Spirit Utopia lives on … until maybe a real philosopher rises from the ashes…

Here we were thinking The Deep Pockets were the Movers & Shakers
called The Deep State. But here we have one of The Deep Pockets
gutting The US State bureaucracy in the name of taking on The Deep
State… So the bureaucracy is really The Deep State !
It’s a win-win: reducing Big Government, making it slimmer and meaner,
(That’s a propaganda win), when really preparing it for privatisation, all
or parts of it (privatisation – that’s another propaganda win)…
When a government utility or service is privatised, it becomes subjected
to ‘efficiency measures’ (to make it ‘profitable’), a term that translates as
‘stripping it to the bone; providing a bare minimum of ‘services’)…

The City Fathers of one US city bent to rioters wishes and defunded their
police department. The function was privatised. Whereas the state’s police
provided a complaints service for citizens, the privatised force is ‘self-
regulating’, is not legally required to investigate any complaints against it’s
employees – but still, it does provide a telephone number for citizens
complaints:
A caller is met by a very sympathetic voice on the other end (not AI) who
avers “We value your call… We are quite busy at the moment and, if you
hold on, we’ll attend to you the minute someone is available.”
There must be a heck of a lot of complaints

Huxley was an advocate of the very dystopia he depicted. Something to keep in mind when opposing such a scenario. After all, what’s in a surname? Who was Darwin’s Bulldog after all??

Regardless, what to about it Surely the bigger question. Above the grand dystopia we all know and love, what might be a bigger solution to all the world’s ills?

Actually philosophically it’s very simple. You simply move beyond the articulation of problems to their very solution. Yes, of course there’s opposition to such extreme measures. Who needs solutions when problems are more profitable for the continuation of dystopia. Something that atheists would never really wish to propose.

And yet in reality, very very easy to resolve

One TV commentator said that Trump’s supporters take him ‘seriously’ vis-a-vis Gaza, but not ‘literally’. Another that his enemies take him ‘literally’ but not ‘seriously’. Or was it vice versa, I forget. And would it matter anyway?

Either way, he may simply be throwing out provocative ideas for AI to then lap up and generate assess/generate suitable responses to, following outraged human reactions.

After all, what was today’s top-buried news story amidst the Gaza furore. Might it not be Google allowing the use of AI for military purposes? Look out for those automated weapons in the skies above:

Todhunter is the typical reality-whitewashing (whole truth-censoring) individual of the “alternative media” camp, spreading the comforting widely welcoming victim narrative: the dominating powerholders are the bad guys and we, the masses, are allegedly the helpless non-guilty passive victims, the good guys. Here are a couple of examples from his piece:

“Giant corporations and the state are leveraging what is often termed ‘technological solutionism’ to establish a digital iron cage of control. By monitoring and predicting our thoughts and actions, these intertwined entities impose a tightening noose of automated systems, suffocating personal liberty.”

“Who grants them the authority to dictate the fate of billions? They have seized this role for themselves.”

Yet nearly all individual among the masses around the world have consistently and continuously openly freely and willfully accepted welcomed and normalized whatever “technological solution” these ruling entities have served them up on a platter, whether it’s junk food, the BIASED corrupt mainstream search engines like google, popular deceitful social media outlets, toxic cell phones, AI, etc etc etc.

This willful compliance by the majority of the masses, for personal self-serving reasons, has been going on without interruption for centuries. Which brings me to another falsehood or half-truth stated by Todhunter: “today, we are witnessing a profound transformation.” In reality, this “profound transformation” has been going on for centuries in plain sight — it’s just that today we’re in the END STAGE of this most horrible “profound transformation” (The 2 Married Human Pink Elephants In The Historical Room: Humans’ Invisibilized Soul Deficiency Disease).

“My experiences with “alternative media” have been, for the most part, just as dreadful as with the mainstream media. Most are unprincipled scavengers, shills and prostitutes, willing, and even eager, to sell out for ego-gratification and/or financial gain.” — Barbara Hartwell, CIA Whistleblower

100% right, Penelope. Hiding ‘in plain sight’ behind anonymity and spitting poison on those who actually put their heads above the parapet and, in one way or another, sometimes pay the price.

Yes, it is frustrating that most people appear to display little backbone and just go along with everything. And it is clear to many of us that the elite has been pushing its agenda for centuries. But we are now truly witnessing a profound transformation as a result of the technology available – and that is not a “falsehood” nor is it a “half-truth” as the commenter claims.

The commenter has preconceived assumptions about what I believe and what is being stated in the article. The commenter assumes that I believe the majority are “helpless, non-guilty passive victims” of the elite.

It is worth noting that, in the article, I say that the elite have imposed a form of globalisation that has resulted in devastating destruction and war for those who attempt to remain independent from them or structurally adjusted violence via privatisation and economic neo-liberalism for millions in countries that have acquiesced.

Ordinary people were certainly ‘victims’ here – and, despite resistance, pretty helpless when it came down to it! Conveniently ignored by the commenter.

Maybe the commenter would like the article to attack the majority for its compliance. To call them out for being lazy, ignorant or for going along to get along. I could have been just as scathing as the commenter. But what would that achieve, particularly in terms of activism? To adopt that strategy would just fuel further conflict and division within the population. Maybe that’s what the commenter desires.

In the article, I at least try to remain positive. Regardless, any proper analysis of propaganda and other hegemonic tactics would call for a more nuanced and sophisticated reading of the situation (that goes beyond ‘helpless victimhood’). But I guess it suits the commenter’s agenda to come up with more baseless opinions on what I think or believe.

I would think so, especially as the commenter accuses me of censoring truth and whitewashing reality and finishes by referring to “unprincipled scavengers, shills and prostitutes, willing, and even eager, to sell out for ego-gratification and/or financial gain.”

CT,
Aw, f* In Plain Sight. He’s probably working for the other side. About the many citizens who one may imagine don’t know or care about what’s happening– Everywhere I go I speak to people; social media is manipulated so that we will THINK we’re in the minority. My polling of actual random people says they’re surprisingly awake. If every locale in America opened a citizen’s hall where we could meet to discuss politics we’d speedily arrange a revolution, because that speaking to each other and discovering agreement is the first step.

Two other things limit people: they don’t know WHAT to do & TPTB have reversed the incentives: to protect others, your own sacred honor, or even your physical safety (the vaxx) has costs. You’re quite correct about that.

I’ve been awake since just before they killed John Kennedy. My own ceaseless, still-unanswered question: How many good people do we need? And to do what?

Keep on keeping on, man.

Hi CT, I saw no grounds to intervene on this occasion for a few reasons (and I think I have been proved correct):

  1. Admin intervene sparingly, in order to encourage the community to self moderate. The community has self moderated here very well.
  2. I felt the commenter’s remarks were sufficiently sweeping so as not to constitute serious defamation etc.
  3. This site is often accused of being double agents etc., including the Admin staff. It’s often the better approach to not fan such flames if it can be avoided.
  4. I felt your above reply to Penelope was a great way to diffuse things. I thought it was well judged and, although I felt it was unlikely to flare up into a distraction, it never hurts to be a little cautious after all.

The overall impression I receive from this thread, reading it now, is of an opinionated person writing without any attempt to justify their claims using evidence or logic, being robustly and roundly interrogated by the community, which has self moderated extremely well. This is what admin want, this is what the readers and commenters enjoy and I think, on this occasion, this approach has proved very successful.

I appreciate you disagree with Admin on this occasion, and you’re certainly entitled to, and while I also appreciate it wasn’t your primary intention to air this issue in public, nevertheless I have no problems addressing your concerns here and opening up a dialogue in this thread.

Lastly, if you want admin to chime in then of course we back you up 100%. Just say the word.

We can let it drop. But I’ll say this:

“I felt the commenter’s remarks were sufficiently sweeping so as not to constitute serious defamation etc.”

By using someone else’s scathing quote at the end, the commenter is attempting to distance themselves from the attack while still delivering it. This is a common tactic to avoid direct responsibility for an insult. The commenter is attempting to lend credibility to their attack by using someone else’s words. This approach is underhanded, as it allows the commenter to launch a personal attack while maintaining a facade of objectivity or innocence. A form of passive-aggressive communication.

The many dismissive, derogatory, misguided, distracting, smug, self-righteous, defensive replies (including those of Todhunter) to the lucid remarks by InPlainSight reminds me of an insightful statement made by psychologist Gustave Le Bon over a century ago …

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.”

You like anti-anonymity, I like anonymity, let’s call the whole thing off.

Don’t you think that maybe many people with important, true, and valuable things to say might be scared off from expressing themselves, if they didn’t have the protection of anonymity?

I know that it’s a two-edged sword. Anonymity can be used for insults, but it can also be used to impart sensitive information.

Well I’ve now heard what Trump actually said. He has shown his true colours. My hope and optimism that he would be a reasonable man (and I explained how I thought “reasonable” was critically important) have been dashed. I expected to be let down and I was right.

He is not a good man doing good things for good reasons.

And everything he does that seems like a win has to be seen in that context.

Never forget that what’s being done to the Gazans can be done to you too. Every year that passes is a roll of the dice to see if it’s your turn.

By a remarkable coincidence, the “values” they suggest are ones wanted in neophyte freemasons and don’t include things like “prize sovereignty”, “question authority” and “stop being such a dumbass”:
https://www.gq.com/story/how-to-define-your-values

It concludes with a cute little veiled threat: “whatever upheaval awaits us in America”. They know there’s “upheaval” a-coming. It’s Trotskyite permanent revolution – no wonder so many neocons were ex-Trotskyites.

So much change people become punch-drunk and disorientated is the point – but they’re worried that this might include low-level freemasons and soft-left normies, hence why this article appeared.

The media now seems almost entirely like this kind of psychological manipulation masquerading as “self-help”. Reporting on actual events seems almost entirely defunct.

Getting women in meant
.- lower wages after a while for all, just as in unregulated immigration
.- some fun on the side for men at the top
.- emotional manipulation of women executives
.- myth of equal work by women, even physical work
.- more control of children (also related to marketing and social media) including sexual subversion.

You don’t get out of this world alive. What I mean be that is that some questions are not solvable. Birth is the only true cause of death, for instance. And woman’s rights can never be equalized with or subsumed into or live beside the rights of families, or of communities, or of societies. Sparta, for instance, with the greatest woman’s liberation in the ancient world, disappeared from the face of the earth. Because liberated women refuse to breed.

You are not really making a case for anything. It has already been demonstrated by many other commentators that adding women to the workforce halves the wages. This is a fact. What you don’t understand is that the invention of the family in the Stone Age was an improvement never since improved upon. Division of Labor. Proper rearing of children. United Front against the world. And yes, I said “breeding.” On purpose. Your implied contempt for “breeding” reveals that you cannot dig yourself out of your typical, ho-hum modern normal-liberal liberal-consensus mindset. We have learned for years that “breeding” is wrong. And you repeat what we have all been taught. And of course I am not convincing Judith. She doesn’t even understand what I am talking about. And anyhow, I am not talking to Judith, really. A conversation on here is like a talk show. David Letterman acts like he is talking to Harvey Pekar–but he is actually talking to an audience of several million. What I am saying is, and what no-one gets, is that no-one gets out of this world alive, you can’t have your cake and eat it too, just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it so. You are surprisingly un-open to opposing viewpoints given the propensity of this site to call everything under the sun and then some a conspiracy psyop hoax. Why all of a sudden can’t feminism be a conspiracy-psyop-hoax?

Admin very specifically kept a very open mind. So you consider Stone Age families to be optimal? Sure. And you seem to think this does have inherent gender equality. I’m sure plenty of anthropologists have made a similar case, perhaps studying remote tribes etc. However, the point I was really making is that you made the whole concept seem quite obnoxious and tawdry, which was undeniably counterproductive to your point.

I’m sure we’ve spoken before and I’m sure you weren’t called Edwige.

This is also my impression. That we get younger and younger.

But seen from a religious stand point it makes sense. God lowered the age from eternal to 1000 years (Methuselah).
Then he erased the entire humanity except Noah and his family but regretted and promised to never erase mankind this way again.

Instead he lowered the age fro 1000 years to 100 years average, as enough to find out who was from the Abel tribe and who was from the Cain tribe.

Today we are lowered again from 100 years to age 75 years as we are born too many idiots. Sincerely I believe in the scriptures.

Well, ya, therein lies the challenge. It’s a simple premise, i.e., that we have to mobilize enough people to effect change, there is no other way, it’s not going to just happen magically. Maybe it can happen spontaneously somehow, but more than likely we need a critical mass of people acting together. There are ways to do that, just like we can somehow get 170 million people to vote for Trump or Harris. But who can organize something like that on the scale needed is the question.

Now let’s hope, he doesn’t alter his position about vaccine mandates, COVID jabs, and the relationship between 87 childhood vaccines and autism.🤔

Nationalised health care.

It’s probably the main reason Gough Whitlam was ‘removed’ as PM of Australia in 1975.
That, and FREE university education.

I didn’t vote for any of it. Above I cited my criticisms of RFK, Jr. The only thing his nomination accomplishes is to get folks to start discussing the efficacy of vaccines and the dubious nature of health organizations mandated to protect the public, but serve only the interests of big pharma.

It’s called weeding out the population via experimental computer generated injections.

Today on MSNBC “Morning Joe spook show” they were promoting the Neuralink by demonstrating how it will be used to help an unfortunate victim paralyzed in a swimming pool accident.

Propaganda is how the ghouls advance a very nefarious agenda. They prey on the trusting and naive who are convinced to believe biometric devices implanted into the brain will benefit humanity and is “not” going to be used as a remote device to control all human behavior.

We’re so f–ked, unless a series of big wrenches are thrown into this human meat grinder.

Absolutely. But after this Covid scam it seems they can get the sheeple to do everything.
To refer to the experts JP Morgan: “Gold and silver is the only real exchange money there exist. Everything else is a fraud”.

I recommend people to use 10% of their net income to that.
It is the only money thing that really cant go wrong.
But people need to think 10 years ahead before they can see it was a right decision, and only people with big hairy balls have that bone.

And if you suffered from incurable cancer and were desperate I guess you’d inject a ton of mRNA gene therapy.

However, the agenda is not to create ballerinas out of paraplegics, but to use biometrics and gene therapy to control the “healthy” population.

I don’t know what I would do if I had incurable cancer.
I do not look down my nose at any of the treatments.

I know people who went the chemo route and have been living happily for years. Others choose alternatives. I don’t know why it has to be either or as long as it is informed, personal consent. Freedom of choice.

And while a parapelegic might not ever do a pas de deux, I imagine he or she would be interested in moving/walking again. I know I would. Some people might be using biometrics and gene therapy to control healthy populations, I agree.
I do not think it rules out beneficial aims or others sincere good intentions.

Unlimited Crap!

However, given Trump’s history with Gates during his previous term, Gates’ comments aren’t surprising. For instance, while Trump cut funding and left the World Health Organization in 2020, his administration continued to fund the Gates-backed GAVI vaccine alliance to the tune of a three-year pledge totaling $1.16 billion through the alleged CIA-front organization United States Agency for International Development (USAID). In April 2020, Trump lauded this partnership in a televised address to that year’s Global Vaccine Summit, stating “it’s great to be partnering with [Gavi]. We will work hard, we will work strong.” Notably, Gavi is one of the most prominent funders of the WHO, along with the Gates Foundation, and also co-led the WHO’s vaccine distribution program, COVAX, which “delivered nearly 2 billion doses of vaccines” across the globe. While Trump’s administration seemingly cut ties with the WHO during this period, it nevertheless supported at least one organization crucial to the WHO Covid response (i.e. Gavi).

Trump never funded or partnered with Gavi. Instead, he funded his own operation – which Gates criticised. Note in the above quote that “Gavi” is in square brackets; i.e. Trump never said “Gavi”.

Note also that USAID – the source of Gavi funding – is an independent agency. That is, Trump does not have the official authority to stop USAID from funding Gavi. Although Trump is now trying shut down USAID, this is most likely beyond his official authority as POTUS.

Versions as at January 2025:

https://2017-2020.usaid.gov/sites/default/files/documents/1864/GAVI_factsheet_4_16-508.pdf
As one of Gavi’s longstanding donors, USAID has directly contributed to progress in immunization coverage, providing more than $2 billion in support to Gavi since FY 2001.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Agency_for_International_Development
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an independent agency of the United States government that is primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. With a budget of over $50 billion, USAID is one of the largest official aid agencies in the world and accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance—the highest in the world in absolute dollar terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_agencies_of_the_United_States_government
In the United States government, independent agencies are agencies that exist outside the federal executive departments (those headed by a Cabinet secretary) and the Executive Office of the President.

More Crap!

Under O’Neill’s desired system, the entire biotech industry at large would be liberated from the regulatory hurdles that so often block its most “innovative” products from getting to market. Perhaps this is best demonstrated by prominent mRNA and biotech proponent Bill Gates’ recent praising of Trump. Gates, whom people often associate with the liberal side of the political spectrum, stated that he was “frankly impressed” with Trump after a “wide-ranging,” three hour discussion with the current President in which they discussed Gates’ ambitions for global health. They even both apparently got “pretty excited” when discussing the possibility of fast-tracking a HIV vaccine in the same manner that Trump enabled with the Covid-19 vaccine.

Why would Trump waste a second of his time with Gates? Instead, this is how the White House “meeting” really went. A mid-level intelligence operative takes Gates to a small room deep in the basement and states:

“Bill, take a seat. . . . These are some of the many photos and videos of yourself at Epstein’s island. . . . From now on you’ll follow our instructions to the letter. Here’s a briefing document for what to say to the media. You’re to spend the next hour or so studying the document; and you’ll be tested before you leave. Thank you for your cooperation.”
