Colin Todhunter, India: The Great Dispossession and the Battle for the Future of Food
If there’s one country that captures the global battle over who controls the basic building blocks of life, it’s India.
With more than half of its 1.4 billion people dependent on agriculture for a living, the stakes transcend national borders. What is taking place in India is a high‑stakes laboratory for a global script: the methodical dismantling of indigenous food systems to be rebuilt in the image of transnational capital. https://www.globalresearch.ca/india-great-dispossession-battle-future-food/5913156

You cannot fix stupid and that is why US loses all of its wars and will continue to do so because it learns nothing and American military institutions do not provide advanced military education for the XXI century other than Hollywood mode representation of the warfare. So, they cope, they lie to themselves, they lie to the world because they have no guts to admit that the “finest fighting force in history” would crumble in real war within a few weeks and will immediately escalate to the nuclear threshold

Gaia, Mother Earth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia
Interpretations
Gaia as Mother Earth is a later form of a pre-Indo-European Great Mother, venerated in Neolithic times. Her existence is a speculation and controversial in the academic community. Some modern mythographers, including Kerenyi, Ruck, and Staples, interpret the goddesses Demeter the “mother”, Persephone the “daughter”, and Hecate the “crone”, as aspects of a former great goddess identified by some[who?] as Rhea or as Gaia herself. In Crete, a goddess was worshipped as Potnia Theron (the “Mistress of the Animals”) or simply Potnia (“Mistress”), speculated[by whom?] as Rhea or Gaia; the title was later applied in Greek texts to Artemis. The mother goddess Cybele from Anatolia (modern Turkey) was partly identified by the Greeks with Gaia, but more so with Rhea.

The Tree of Life in India symbolizes growth, abundance, and spiritual connection, prominently represented by the banyan tree in Hindu mythology and celebrated in various cultural expressions.
———–
The Tree of Life is a universal symbol, replete with meaning and steeped in history. It cuts across cultures, religions, and centuries to find a place in ancient mythology, spiritual traditions, and modern interpretations. From sacred interconnectedness to a representation of personal growth, the Tree of Life has remained one of the strongest and most long-lasting icons in human history.

The Tree of Souls, also called the Mother Tree[1] (Na’vi name: Vitraya Ramunong[2]), is a giant weeping willow-like tree and the most sacred place of the Omatikaya clan. It is considered to be their closest Oma connection to Eywa on Pandora. As of 2154, the site has been spiritually significant for at least 3,000 years.[3] The Spirit Tree has the same cultural and spiritual significance to the Metkayina clan as the Tree of Souls has to the Omatikaya.[4][5]

The left/right, blue/red paradigm is a joke, jew $ funds and fuels both sides, jewmedia provides the theatrics to ramp up emotion. They don’t care which side destroys you, the end goal is the same. Gazafiscation of the West. Day to day theatrics are just that. There is only 1 existential problem. Parasitic jews have overrun you, stolen everything, and now want you dead. Quite similar to Russia 109 years ago. There is no good side to pick. The parasite, killing the host, has to be dealt with. 110.

Lefty Protestor Bites Off Federal Officer’s Finger”He will lose his finger.”

Is this real? And where’s the blood?

Babies in Incubators, Redux BY Armageddon Prose
This stuff is catnip to the anti-ICE Karens — yummy for their tummies.

Trump shoots babies in incubators! He’s eating them on the White House lawn!

I’m seeing nothing but this. What’s got into everyone? We now believe everything from all the liars we suspected yesterday. Yes, but when I read an article, that means it’s true! My real eyes really saw the real letters. Honest.

Oh, none of the people would deceptively edit video now! Like when the BBC got sued a billion for re-writing Trump’s speech.

(In reality, hundreds or even thousands of pedophiles and whole systems have been rolled up, thousands of children released, after decades of immunity. Not reported. No one cares. Because IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE CHILDREN. No one gives a shit if the children are saved. I want to HATE!!! My god is the god of Hate and I worship him daily, whenever I can. The only thing I hate more is the God of Love.)

So here’s a switch: because of this and other things, I’m out. After 20 years, I’m looking for an out. Just post less, less things, less comments, less insight. We’re at the end, If they haven’t got it, there’s not much I can do, the next generation will have to take it up. I can say it’s so obvious, but that’s alright, everything is hidden and there are 20 info silos, all of which claim completeness. I do that not by comparing mine, but by pointing out theirs are patently ridiculous and self-contradictory. No one cares because it was never about completeness, accuracy, truth, it was about who I can HATE. The reason to have words is the Lies, yes, but we have the Lies so we can HATE.

Here’s hoping that’s not me picking up that we’re very into civil war and my own neighbors will shoot me. And they definitely will, all centrists get shot first. Allies, you know. In the foxhole with you. You have to suspect them because the really sound, smart, level ones are the extremists like me, who “really know what’s going on.” And of course the OTHER extremists on the other side, be we never see or visit them; only the moderates.

So shooting all moderates it is, and that means me, so I’ll have to keep my mouth shut for the duration. This should be easy as for the first time in a while, I don’t care.

“Left-Wing Activists Run Shadow Police Force on Signal to Target ICE In Minneapolis”

Full-on military operation. They have spotters, zones, encrypted communications, camouflage, attack teams, cover teams, well-trained blitz strategies. …As we’ve seen, all the “Observers” are heavily armed.

Don’t worry, it will all be denied. You’ll look right at it and say “This is normal for the Minnesota tea-and-pie club to have 21st century Green Beret 5G Warfare come to them naturally, descended upon them from heaven like John the Baptist. There are no nefarious backers anywhere, totally grass-roots.

You’re going to tell me that and they’re totally innocent in 3…2…1…

Follow more? We have a Mrs. Good and a Mr. Pretty. Really? The very first two? Not a Mr. Patriot?

Alright then. Well, what’s a “Legal Observer?” Well it has no meaning at all which is why Communists use it, when the “ends Justify the means” then they’re instantly incapable of telling the truth. What do WE think it means, out here, having never really thought of it much?

They’re basically Conscientious Objectors. They’re supposed to not entirely even be on a side, only “Observing” like reporters. …So I guess no one believes reporters are honest anymore or they wouldn’t need them to exist as a class? …Yeah…. Anyway, so they are there to “Observe”. That is, they are Chinese Firewalled off from “Protestors.” Great!

…Does that ever happen? At all? Even once? Nope. They arm up, agitate, throw rocks, and if someone sees them, suddenly “Tag!” Freeze Tag! I become a “Legal Observer” the minute you look at me again. When you look away I’m a Protestor. Then an “Observer.”

Okay, what’s even the POINT of “Observing”?

Not to fear! It’s right there in Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” – dedicated to Satan, poor misunderstood fellow. IT’S TO CAUSE BAD BEHAVIOR – even once – AND GET IT ON CAMERA. Then, just like “Freeze tag” the other team becomes “evil”. In pure VARDO, Narcissist Cluster B way, which is perfectly Satan’s Minions and M.O.

For my friends, the world! For my enemies: The Law.

That is, THEIR VERY EXISTENCE IS PARTISAN, picked sides, and it violently anti-government. Suppose they get hundreds of protestors rioting, going into coffee shops, beating up IT guys who are anti-ICE but DARED TO BE WHITE? A: Nothing. That’s fine and good. Been on camera all month. Nothing happens. It was “Observed” and we approve!! We only don’t “Approve” of the Police and any rules, norms, or laws.

Okay, great, Docktor, what next?

I’m only getting to the point here because no one can seem to think anymore. So as a “Conscientious Objector” you immediately take time off your job, arm up, surround agents, and interfere? That’s what “Observing” means, right? Like I have the “Red Cross” on, crossing WWI at the Somme, and well, OBVIOUSLY I have a water-cooled machine gun and a 6 foot belt of bullets hopping behind, right? That’s what those words mean to everyone now?

Yes, he has a 2nd A right, and no one is disputing it. The reason the Right is all over this is “WT Literal F were you thinking?” Yeah, WE’RE all over this, and WE will tell you times are such that if you have a gun, locked under your seat, and legally inform the officer, which you shouldn’t even have to do…you can STILL have a good chance of being killed. Much less going on, showing, jerking with them during armed operations after officers are being run over daily. (Nationwide. Google is your friend).

Not only will EVERY honest protestor tell you that, it makes the movement look bad, it causes problems, gets innocent people killed, HIS OWN PARENTS TOLD HIM THAT yesterday. They said, “Look, don’t f—k with ICE agents. Tell us you’ll stop antagonizing them.”

He said, “Nah. I want to arm up, no ID, and walk into an area surrounded by people I claim are gestapo, and it’ll be fine.” “They are the Gestapo” means, “Totally safe.” Didn’t sell his goods, write a will or nothin’. Home at 5:00, sir.

As others have said, and me too, I consider policemen to be like bears. Sure you can walk up to one and be fine. Often are. AND THEN THEY ALSO MAUL YOU FOR NO REASON. So don’t! Don’t go anywhere near them and be very, very careful not to antagonize them if you do. They suck. We need radical reform for 60 years and everyone knows it, spoken of daily, by every human in the U.S. — Or world– borders. So what do you alllllll do? A: The Opposite. Then cry, cry, cry babies, that “I got what I myself said would certainly happen, and I’m really, really mad it took a dozen more weeks of pissing on them for this to happen than I said it would.”

Stop. You’re a moron. For the love of God. You’re making it impossible for me to care.

What’s next? There are “50 ways to leave your Protest”. As if we’ve learned anything over the last century is that the only reason you’re allowed to protest is that it changes nothing. It’s all LARPing. Always has been. Even Gandhi. Long discussion, just take it at face.

You can press lawsuits on these individuals, on groups, as groups, you can deal with agencies, cut deals, even have smoky rooms the media is aware of that they’re not allowed in, to set image and tone. You can fund and defund, make short term agreements, and of course most of all PASS LEGISLATION, signed by them and executive.

We’ve begged them to for 40 years, they all refused exactly for the reason that it would get people killed for political reasons. Yummy, yummy dead people. Yay! So if unchanged, IT IS LAW AND THEY MUST ENFORCE IT. They can all be summarily impeached for NOT going to Minnesota at -12f in January and arresting everyone. Do you not know that?

Newsflash: Law is not an “Option.” We don’t enforce it when we feel like it and ignore it when we don’t. (That’s what YOU do, and call it Just-Us, Justice.)

If you don’t like it, fine! There are proper methods for fixing that…AND YOU’RE DOING EXACTLY NONE OF THEM. Just like gun laws, abortions, and all for the same reasons: they don’t wanna. They don’t wanna be honest, it’s better politically to BREAK IT, break everything, and LIE. …Ta Dah! “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes”. But that needs US to play along like morons. Don’t.

Toss all that in a salad bowl and what do you have?

IT’S ALL A SHOW. NONE OF IT IS REAL. No one’s thinking at all. They’re all jacking off their fee-fees.

Look, I’m not jumping in a foxhole with you if you have your pants down and are playing with your fee-fees. You’re not a serious person. Or serious people. If they ACTUALLY thought Trump was within 100 miles of begin anything vaguely resembling the Gestapo, they would train and behave very, very differently, not like 5-year-olds playing freeze tag at a gun range/construction site combo. We would all spank their bottoms ruby-red for that, to keep them from getting killed. That’s why you shout at kinds doing that, because you LOVE them, and we have done that.

They won’t. They like and want it.

Where did we enter this? “Left-Wing Activists Run Shadow Police Force On Signal To Target ICE In Minneapolis”
Top-notch, 5GenWarfare, Intel Op as high-tech as anything on the planet being run right here. But there is no plan and nobody’s running it. The people who are running it don’t have any nefarious plans to do after. They’re running an honest war in which as they force it to start, no one will get killed. Haven’t you heard? On TV, TikTok, wars don’t kill ppl n stuff. They are ignoring every legal method and consequences of elections because they’re the good, honest, visible, democratic guys.

Got it. Netflix/Reddit Logic, all they way down. You’re about to tell me just five minutes from now.

“Minnesota Business Owner Claims ICE Will Start ‘Putting People In Ovens’

Yup. Totally reasonable. Definitely what’s happening. We know this from the millions of black people, gays, and Democrats he rounded up first term. And the 4 million men he has fighting overseas. He toppled another 20 governments yesterday. Invaded Prague.

“Carney Cracks: Canada Has ‘No Intention’ Of Pursuing Free Trade Deal With China After Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs

Carney was the bestest, most honest, greatest statesman of the people ever. What happened?

“Global Energy Transition Threatened By Critical Transformer Shortages

We can fix this overnight but don’t. Why? Recent Luongo where he’s very uncharacteristically trying to be nice. It’s not for leverage or because the more middle men the more work-free profit can be extracted. (If you’re Marxist, you might…recognize this? And be against and not FOR it, all EU, all DNC, DSP?) Why to have shipping and banking worldwide to take one Maryland chicken, feed it from Argentina, defeather and load it to China, then ship the chicken nuggets back in boxes from Canadian trees. That means everything can be shut off far more soundly than any CBDC, should any nation get uppity “Sovereignty” (Ptooe). It’s that they thought all these really expensive, fragile, stupid, CO2 and oil-burning methods would cause an interconnection that would stop war!

…Turns out they START wars, making constant conflict as Hungary uses leverage built in the system to shut off Europe, then Europe uses leverage in Ukraine to shut off Hungary. On and one, all against all. Who knewd? Except we all told them every day for 100 years? Huh. Odd.

Solution: Um, do some s—t n’ stuff? Work? Build things? Make them near where the materials are and near the markets? That way China can’t shut your lights off on a whim? Or you, them, with tariffs and oil? Don’t. Be as independent as you can, and masters of your own people and fate.

Not….ohhhhhh, I dunnoooo…LONDON and EU bankers at the UN? Maybe? Varufakis? What say you?

Nope, he says “EU bankers shattered Greece, now with street poverty for a generation, so what we need is more Socialism and more UN.” Right. You try that, and I’ll try NOT doing that, by arming with 25 more guns and getting as far away from you as possible. We’ll trade on honest currency like silver and you can leave yourself and your friends to the tender mercies of UN Central Bank Credit. When have they ever dun wrong.

One thing we’ve learned worldwide this year: There’s no cure. It’s all Progress One Funeral at a Time. Even for the Good and Pretty.

Reimagining Villains Series:

https://sinfest.xyz/btphp/comics/2026-01-26.jpg

You know them by their enemies. Whoever is the most hated, is almost certainly doing something right. What names come to mind, friends?

@Dr.D: Why did Alex Pretti RN, bicyclist, nice guy from his actions, small-team leader protecting fellow-humans from tyranny, carry a 9mm pearl-handled automatic handgun with spare clips to the protest?

I don’t know, but the question has really stayed with me and it makes me think of a rather soft and chatty friend I had, who had a lot of guns, who was quite casual with them, and had never been taught firearm discipline… That has nothing to do with his death, though.
They were like talismans to him.
I think that is common. People see guns on TV and movies as talismans.
A gun is a sign that says “kill me first” to an armed killer.
I have really long considered this personally. I was raised in a gun-culture, and hunted, and became proficient at the rifle range, and always had tendencies to compassion, and quit eating meat after raising a miserable little calf to pass 9th grade ag. class.

You have to be completely ready to shoot first for a firearm to begin to make sense, and most people really are not ready. I am not, nor will I be.

That’s what military training, and Israeli training of police and paramilitary organizations like ICE does, it makes you reflexively ready to shoot another human to death, fully to death, with a hair trigger response.

As a kid who grew up on USMC bases playing guns during Vietnam, I mull this over, and have my whole life. I am not really that guy who will ever shoot first, so I should not hold a gun as a talisman, because it is a lie to myself, and makes somebody who is ready to kill shoot me fully to death as soon as he sees it.
TAG – I’m – IT ;-o

That was Alex’s mistake, I think, misunderstanding guns.
He and Renee Good, who was a veteran of some sort, did make that assumption about bears, which you mentioned.
The overlay of various societal paradigms made them feel that they were following rules, and protected by that, when the people they were dealing with were not old-school community police trained, but paramilitary trained, to shoot “gentiles” at the first sign of danger, as it were.
They had never seen the look in the eye of a cop itching to beat them to a bloody pulp, nor felt that electric charge coming from such an officer of the law.
I felt that one night in college. I remember it.

I want to say that they had the right instincts of protecting other humans, and being brave and morally right. I relate to them, especially Alex, as he moved around helping and supporting his weaker team members, being an exemplar to them. He was an ICU Nurse. That’s his daily role…

The tree of libery has been watered with the blood of patriots here.

Most Americans who are right-reactionary these days would have been loyalists to King George in the American Revolution. The revolutionaries were a minority; most people wanted to avoid involvement, and the loyalists might have outnumbered the actual revolutionaries, but got driven out and dispossessed by them after the war, which is mostly forgotten.
There were spoils after that war, farms and houses and properties…

While we were going through the vapid and shallow tyranny of team-left during COVID, which I opposed and was fired for on principle, I foresaw that it would not have critical mass, that it was the time for me to stand up, with a real prospect of helping it to fail…

The left-patriots who are protesting in the streets on icy roads are different from the left-conformists that would put parents who did not vaccinate their children in concentration camps.
I think that is self-evident, no?

The right-patriots who accepted firing, demotions and other punishments for refusing COVID-vaccination on-principle, are different from the right-conformists who are now cheering on ICE brownshirts.
I think that is also self-evident, but again, they “identify” as being on the same teams.

You strike me as old enough to go ahead and die on some principled hill of your choosing. I am, but being choosy and thoughtful is important, discretion being the better part of valor, as is said.

You test-out as a left-libertarian and take right-rationalist stances, then self-identify as neither right nor left, but “centrist”, so close enough to be shot by either side at some point.
You keep saying you are about to lie-low, but it lasts for an afternoon or so.
It’s not your nature. Be what you are. Be a good version of yourself. Die that way some day.
I don’t think we live longer trying to be other than true to ourselves, or we may “die a thousand deaths” along that path…
