Data harvesting – the ultimate thief

with privacy falling away like a leaf

the autumn of you with your eyes in a squint

with the thief leaving not a fingerprint.

Photo: Jessica Rose. Taken October 3, 2026 on a walk.
I have been brewing this article in my mind for weeks now after having returned from the US and Canada on a whirlwind trip. Following 6 flights in 9 days, I had succumbed to a 3-day cold once home – which has since resolved from having ingested metric tons of turmeric and cracked pepper hot beverages. I testified at the Allison Inquiry, I saw my beloved parents and my little sister. I met her children. I played an excellent game of scrabble with her as I listened to her recount stories of her life, including the story of how she and her family felt compelled to move from their home and neighborhood in Alberta to a new one, due to a feeling of being “outsiders” in their own community.

I saw Northern Alberta for the first time.

I also saw Ottawa (my birth place) for the first time in about 30 years. Ottawa has changed into a place that I don’t really recognize. The homelessness and drug problems are so evident and heartbreaking in the Downtown area. Every second person I walked by in my 4 days there, was homeless. Pot smoke was thick in the air – everywhere – and I do mean everywhere. I have nothing against medicinal use of plants and fungi – in fact, I promote their use – but abuse of them is something I feel differently about, and legalization has not made the plant products safer, If anything, the opposite is true. Pot products that come from Aspergillus fumigatus-free soil, for example, are probably not the status quo, as Kevin McKernan writes about here, and this is also not good for the people. This is all a part of a sanctioned bad situation potentially getting worse that even CDC acknowledges.

It seemed very obvious to me that the people I walked by were abusing these agents as a means to escape hardship, and believe you me when I say, I get why people feel the need to escape. I am not judging, just making an observation based on my experience there.

My travels in recent years have taught me – and keep teaching me – that our world is changing in ways that no typical civilian could have predicted. Some of these changes are new, and some have just become amplified due to opportunism; red-carpeted in by the convenient COVID con. The following examples of changes may not appear linked at surface value, but they are.

Replacement migration is out of control.

Control of movement of the general public is out of control (I couldn’t see my parents for years or testify at Senate hearings due to being barred from the US and Canada for making the choice to not be injected with an experimental product with no long-term data).

Data harvesting is rampant and completely unregulated.

Sanctioned drug cartels are taking full advantage of a vulnerable people.

Human trafficking is rising to the number one profitable “business” and it is linked to organ harvesting.

Wealth transfers, inflation and fiat disaster is out of control. This will lead to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and Universal Basic Income.

Surveillance and privacy loss are out of control (there are fingerprint scans at airports without opt out in Europe now).

Invasive facial recognition cameras are everywhere in the place of – or rather, defacing – charming bronze lamp posts, beautiful buildings and even trees.

Small cell towers are everywhere (they were installed when we were all conveniently locked up – did you notice that?)

AI data centers are taking the place of living habitats (and are likely the next big tech bubble).

All of these are linked by the problem of centralization of government and other “outside authorities”. The mere notion of an outside authority is a misnomer in my mind, as you will see by the end of this article.

Surveillance cameras to me are far more than disgusting eye sores; they are a scourge on society, and they have no place in a trusting and balanced society. They, in fact, effectively undermine societal trust and create tension and discord. Not to mention the breach of national security opportunities. I am so aware of the feeling of being “watched” these days – even on forest hikes – because you know what? We are being watched. At any point in time, a detailed map of where you’ve been, what you’ve spent, who you’ve seen, etc. could be made, by simply cross-linking surveillance data, and with AI models being prompted to carry out these tasks, it takes no time. The inherent dangers of this is obvious in that mistakes are often made with regard to identification. And for those of you with “Smart” appliances, surveillance extends to your activities inside your home. This is not speculation. You’re being watched and in some cases, you’re being recorded.

I would like to know who is responsible for green-lighting mass civilian surveillance and ushering in the age of “Smart” appliances. Is it legal to collect metric tons of data on civilian movement (indiscriminate mass surveillance) in an age where anyone can access that data? It certainly violates the Constitution (Fourth Amendment, at least) of the United States of America as this judgement shows. And what about children’s parks and schools? What a field day for predators surveillance camera data are, non?

It often leaves me wondering: Have these surveillance and security measures made anyone’s lives safer? The answer is definitively: NO. In fact, the loss of privacy due to data harvesting is existentially bad for the human being, and goes far beyond infringement and violation of Fourth Amendment rights, it is invasive. Even for those who are not aware on the conscious level that their Smart TV is tracking them (every 10 milliseconds a snapshot is taken to make a content fingerprint sent off to a “server”), I believe that somehow on the subconscious level, you are, and it is affecting you whether you are consciously aware or not.

A much better ‘tactic’ that governments might use to ensure the safety of their people is to actually ensure the safety of their people by building trust within communities. Not indiscriminately mass surveilling people with CCTV, flock cameras and Smart devices would be an excellent start.

So why the farce, governments? Why stalk your citizens without their consent and in many cases, without even knowing where the data being harvested will end up?

It is more than unnerving when one thinks about the countess ways that this data can be weaponized.

Tactical tracking (aka: contact tracing)

Speaking of privacy infringement, another specific example of a loss-of-trust exercise recently launched on the world’s community as part of the COVID con was cont[r]act tracing of people. Contact tracing is the process of identifying, assessing and monitoring people who have been “exposed” to an “infected” person so they can be warned, tested or quarantined in an attempt to stop the spread of a disease. It is not derived from the COVID con, but it was exploited as part of it. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be given a choice as to whether or not I would like to be “contact traced”. Maybe I would say yes? I would probably say no.

Contact tracing was indeed imposed at the behest of a handful of people (see Apple employees) during the COVID con. What was this data used for? And what of the data collected on the people who refused to comply with the injectable countermeasures? I imagine that there are “folders” on every single one of us. The COVID con exercise – complete with contact tracing – did not ensure the safety of the people. If you ask me, whether or not it was the intended goal, the actual yield was gigatons of personal data produced and fed to AIs. Nom. Nom.

I didn’t – and I don’t – feel safe, I feel watched. How about you?

I am reminded of the story I heard about a man and a swing. Benn Jordan makes a point so beautiful in This Flock Camera Leak is like Netflix For Stalkers, that it made me weep when I heard it because of its innocent simplicity as an example of what it means to be human. Benn told the story of the private love of being a full-grown man who loved to swing on a swing alone – just for lovely childhood experience of swinging and feeling free. He describes footage from an exposed Flock camera of a man swinging alone in an empty park, and says the man almost certainly would not have done it if he had known he was being recorded, because the whole point was a private moment without judgment. The enjoyment came from being alone.

When the realization of not being “alone” comes, the outcome is a behavioural change. That activity – beautiful and freeing – was his and no one else’s. No judgment. No explanations. Just a man on a swing feeling free to swing. Benn is absolutely right when he states that the man likely would never have this moment if he knew cameras were on him. It’s amazing that articles about this problem have been published at least since 2013.

When it comes down to it, the problem of surveillance isn’t just about [illegal] spying and data harvesting, it is about behaviour modification. Our behaviours are being modified whether we realize it or not. And ironically, to the surveillance creeps trying to convince the public that facial recognition software, for example, is necessary to promote your safety, this is precisely how you create an underground community. Humans always find a way. Humans are incredibly intelligent, and clever. And intuitive.

Human bodily rights violations

We all know by now that people who weren’t injected with the experimental COVID gene-based injectable products were excluded from society, and this exclusion was based solely on their rejection of the demands of others. It was never about safety. N.B. If a vaccine works, then those vaccinated are “safe” from unvaccinated people, if you choose to look at it that way. If one happened to be concerned about being “infected” by another person by something, then one’s vaccine concocted against that something would prevent one from getting sick and succumbing to the effects of that something. That’s how it works. That’s how it’s always worked.

Why was there a literal campaign launched world-wide to demonize the people who refused to get injected with an experimental gene-based product? And concurrently, why was a campaign to convince the general public that if you are vaccinated, then unvaccinated people are a threat to you? I mean, do you guys understand how twisted-rockin’-ball stupid that is?

Mandating of experimental gene-based injections, claimed to be useful in reducing mortality against a virus with an infection fatality rate of 0, was always a strong-arm technique to get every single human being injected with new technology. It was also quite likely that there was a goal to lose a control group. No control group; no way to compare the injected vs. uninjected.

The question is: Why? Why was there such a control-freak “air” about it all? And what happened to informed consent? Why was the public at large so primed to give up their basic human rights? Even for “two weeks” “to flatten the curve”?

Millions of civilians have been injured by the COVID injectable products as a planned and eventually mandated “countermeasure” against SARS-CoV-2, and millions died from these and the other countermeasures – to include hospital protocols like Remdesivir and ventilators. Not only that, but the COVID injectable product platform – now rubber-stamped with the entirely false label of “safe and effective” (disinformation), is being ushered in as the modality through which all future “vaccines” will be manufactured.

This, to me, was the primary reason for the COVID con and why the platform must – to this day – remain “successful” in the eyes of the people who continue to ignore the truth and the science that backs the remorseless and inherent dangers that come with this platform. The secondary reason was the wealth transfer and the intended destruction of the middle class as part of the “decarbonization” efforts of our beautiful world. I realize how crazy that sounds, but one must call a spade a spade – it is the result of what they did. None of it would have been possible without centralization of “authority”.

The COVID con should be apparent to everyone by now, and I don’t think I am alone in stating that public trust of governments and “health care” apparatuses or ”authorities” has been obliterated. The envelope was simply pushed too far by idiots who underestimated human intellect. The will to be free, sovereign and the right to choose remains integral to what it means to be a human being, and there are a lot of us who want to remain human.

Security violations

On the subject matter of feeling like an outsider in the country you were born in and lived in all of your life – as per my sister’s situation – diversity of culture is not the problem – mass infiltration of people with no integration plan is – and even though Canada is in a rough state right now, Europe has fallen predator to this more than any other region I have seen in my recent travels. It has become blatantly clear that most of the people force-moved into Europe have no intention of adopting a “when in Rome” approach, if you catch my drift. For example, Europol’s 2025 terrorism report records 24 jihadist attacks in the EU in 2024 – up from 14 in 2023 – and says jihadist terrorism was the most lethal form, killing five people and injuring 18. And don’t forget that an independent inquiry found that at least 1,400 girls in Rotherham were raped, trafficked and beaten between 1997 and 2013, mostly by men of Pakistani heritage, while the council and police played down the scale and the ethnic pattern of the abuse as reported by the BBC.

Mass migration without a plan works for no one. Perhaps, that is the plan. Chaos makes people look for saviours.

But why else could it be being done? For “new” voters? Who’s making the call to mass migrate people from countries who know nothing of the culture and residents of the country into nations like Canada, Australia and the countries of Europe?

Let’s not forget, a nation is a willingness to live together.

Of the nearly 7 million foreign-born people living in Canada, almost half (46%) live in Toronto.¹

When the UN (United Nations Secretariat) wrote up the “Replacement Migration” document, did they account for what would happen ‘after’? This 2000 UN report was intended as a hypothetical demographic exercise probing how much immigration would be needed to offset low fertility and aging, but it pretty much ignored integration, social cohesion and political feasibility because these exceptionally vital issues were outside its narrow population-accounting model. It also seems to be a lot less than a hypothetical exercise.

Do not get me wrong here. I come from Canada: the land of generosity of spirit and kindness. We strive as a people to help others in need, and we always will. But Canadians themselves are being put to the wayside – abandoned in fact – for the sake of people who do not have the continuous right to live on Canadian soil. This is documented in recent revelations that indicate that millions of temporary Canadian residents’ visas will have expired or will be expiring at the end of 2026.

Even CBC asks the question: Will they leave Canada?

The answer is likely: NO.

In the following report, the question is asked as to whether Canada is losing it’s “talent” by imposing laws and “tightening its immigration rules” in reference to Indian people specifically, who are claimed to have fueled Canada’s economy. The numbers look this way simply because Indian people represent the largest demographic of people to have come to Canada in recent years. Big numbers mean bigger ratios.

Now why would you ever want to get rid of all the talented immigrants? After all, no Canadian citizens are talented, right?

There appears to be a big problem now. Apparently, over 2 million visa holders are unaccounted for in Canada and logistically, there’s no way for anyone to know if they are still in Canada. Legally, they are not entitled to be. IRCC data shows that in January 2026 that approximately 1.49 million temporary residents had permits expire in the previous year, and another 1.4 million were due to expire that year – roughly 2.9 million over two years, not counting study-permit holders in that slice of the data.

After allowing for permanent-residency spots, at least 2.1 million people would be left with expired or expiring status.

Ottawa assumes many will leave, but does not know whether they do. Does Ottawa care? Are these people being sought out? Are the rules being enforced? We all know that rules are easy to enforce, right? Just freeze their bank accounts. Or impose the Emergencies Act. Oh wait, that’s unlawful and infringes upon the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Or does that only apply to Canadian citizens and not people with expired visas? It doesn’t only apply to Canadian citizens, in fact.

Below are some statistics sourced from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), as written in the CBC article.

My question is this. What was the impetus for moving 2 million people over to Canada if there was no plan to either keep them there legally, or to ensure that they returned home after their visas expired? Why the crap shoot? Couldn’t the people responsible for dishing out the visas have anticipated this problem? Do they have a plan to ensure that illegals are on a plane?

I am not against people finding new homes in other places. In fact, I did it myself. And I love different cultures – our differences are our strengths – and I firmly believe that independent culture must be maintained and cherished. I also believe that if one migrates to a country that is not their birth place, they should be willing to adopt the culture and ways of that new place. All of my best friends from childhood were from all the over place. India, Iran, Israel, Spain, Pakistan, Canada, America, what have you. We all went to public school, and we all learned the same things and grew up the same way. Sometimes I would hear their native tongues being spoken when I went to their houses, and loved that, but ultimately, it was very much a “when in Rome” vibe. There was no feeling of a lack of integration or a choice to reject Canadian values or ways.

But times then are not comparable to times now. There is a very different situation going down in Canada now. Canadians face it every day, and this different situation isn’t about saving people from bad situations, it’s primarily about stupidity, greed and control. Lack of integration (as I mentioned above) and politicization of everything from biology to immigrants to viruses, is effectively destroying so many of the beautiful places I hold dear in my heart.

Just look at what’s happening in France right now. Here is a great interview between Winston Marshall and Charles Gave that will enlighten you. Great questions are answered like: Why do the politicians refuse to answer dire questions? What is actually going on? Charles says France has been extremely badly managed for decades, and that we are arriving at the end of a period of disorder and discord. This to me, is an understatement.

From the control of information point of view inextricably tied to surveillance, we indeed seem to have reached a point where a native citizen cannot even speak out against the REAL problems that everyone is facing on the subject matter of non-integrated foreigners (including illegals) without being threatened with punishment, including imprisonment. Simply exercising first-amendment rights online in one country, can can get you threatened with imprisonment, and 25 million dollars in fines from another country. No laws broken. Nothing wrong done.

Novel international tyranny and extortion is upon us. Why? And why is there an attack on free speech? According to Benjamin Franklin, it’s the precursor to destroying a nation.

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” – Benjamin Franklin, writing as Silence Dogood (1722)

Some “leaders” seem to have missed class when it was taught that without the ability to speak on REAL issues that threaten societies, we cannot solve REAL problems that come with things like predictable culture clashes, or poisonous injections mandated under threat of job loss. Perhaps they were in another class to become a WEF Young Global Leader to penetrate the cabinets (senior executive bodies of government drawn from and accountable to Parliament) of various and sundry countries.

The COVID con is inextricably tied into this subject matter – and the self-appointed “authorities” who claim to be benevolent, It has ruined so much of our world, and this ruining was done with intention. This is without a doubt. The simultaneity, the lock-step, the perseverance of denial of harms from the shots. The middle class was decimated, the lower class was moved to tent cities, and drugs have never before been sanctioned by governments the way that they are now, especially in Canada.

A vending machine sits outside an entranceway that has the words Emergency Room above it on a wood frame.
The vending machine is located just steps outside the emergency room door. (Claire Palmer/CBC News). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/province-review-harm-reduction-vending-machines-1.7308489
To me, on a personal level, everything – including medicinal drugs – must be done in moderation. But when you combine the loss of a business, family, perhaps even home with the depression that comes with being isolated due to such maniacal measures as lockdowns, one might easily understand why a human being would resort to drugs and alcohol use. This use, can very easily become abuse especially when a “vending machine allows people to receive free bubble pipes and snorting devices by simply pushing a few buttons. (Claire Palmer/CBC News)”.

This is also likely why the liquor stores remained open while small businesses were ordered to close down during the COVID con. It’s akin to burning someone’s house down, and then offering them a cold, dirt hole to live in, whilst charging them rent to do so and making them feel lucky to be paying for their hole.

We’ve been systematically made to feel lucky for the scraps that we beg for.

I resent – to the core of my being – what has been done to human beings over the past decades, and particularly, in the past 6 years. We are light beings, and our lights are being dampened by exogenous lies, tyranny and deception. It is non-stop. And it is difficult to keep one’s light ablaze when things tend to seem so endlessly hopeless. Some go to drugs, others to false saviors. Most people have been rendered too afraid to use their voice. Others are too afraid to face the demons incumbent on all of us. I would say that they ‘live’ in some form of silent limbo – not quite alive, not quite dead. When I use the word ‘demons’, I am not being figurative. I believe that ‘demons’ are real entities that dwell in some kind of “under-world”, and that they want what we have. Or at least, they want us not to have, or more precisely, to remember. The joke’s on them though: they can’t have what we have and they can’t stop us from remembering what we are or where we came from. They’re not us.

I believe that negative entities are all around us, and all too often, we let them “in” without even being aware that we are doing so.

False saviours

On the subject matter of false saviours, we don’t have to look too far, do we? From Anthony Fauci, to the guy selling shit on the internet that’s going to “fix your life”, they are ubiquitous. And every single one of them is unnecessary.

Recently, an Open Letter Regarding the Removal of the mRNA Platform addressed to RFK and MAHA was penned with the intention of pre-election strong-arming the COVID shots off the market. I don’t know what will become of this letter and although I am 100% in favor of removing not just the COVID shots from the market but the entire nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP platform, I would like to go on record that I am not against RFK Jr. and empathize with his difficult position.

I understand on a surface level the quagmire of idiocy that RFK Jr. dwells in as Secretary of HHS. Middle men, superfluous agencies that do nothing but push paper, rogues within agencies who do what they want, rulers posing as leaders having parties instead of protests, it’s all too clear. And it’s disgusting. But that’s the state of American affairs right now. The three-letter agencies are a mess and the swamp is very deep and very stinky. Like garlic farts.

And Trump is Trump, and he is the elected President, and thus he holds power. He could – and he should – eliminate not only the COVID shots from the market but the gene-based platform from human existence. He has the power to inform a large number of people on their real dangers. And in fact, I believe that he has this duty.

As Leslie Manookian of the Health Freedom Defense Fund on X wrote:

We’re delivering an ultimatum to President Trump and RFK Jr.
The future of MAHA is at stake right now.
“These shots are proven dangerous.”
“The estimates are as high as 17 million deaths worldwide.”
“Tens of millions more injuries.”
“You should not be allowed to inject your child with a dangerous product.”

President Trump promised to let RFK Jr. “go wild” on the 2024 campaign trail.
Now, one month before the midterm elections, we have united with hundreds of health freedom leaders, doctors, scientists, and nurses to make one demand:
“Remove the Covid shots from the market.”

Sounds exactly like what needs to be done, right? I mean, Leslie is not even asking for the platform to be removed, only the COVID shots – it sure doesn’t seem like an unreasonable ask. We shall see what happens.

I personally don’t think Trump has any intention of removing the nucleoside-modified mRNA-LNP platform because the pipeline is too inextricably tied into the “market share” crap and of course, that’s what’s important, right? I remember years ago when I would visit Pfizer’s website to try to find out about the technology behind the COVID shots and the only thing to see plainly was market share and stock bullshit. Nothing about the shot MO. Nothing about novelty. Nothing about harms.

Pushing the RFK Jr. envelope might be precisely what is required right now, and as I said to my fellow Brownstonians in response to Robert Malone’s article The Kennedy Exception:

i love it. it’s what we’re MEANT to be doing. AS ALLIES.

the best friend you’ll ever have is the one that calls you on your own bullshit

And I meant it. But it is important to stay aware of the fact that some of us are pushing RFK Jr. and Trump as allies. Others, are not.

The bottom line is: What divides us, is the tell.

The reason I placed this Letter in the context of writing about false saviors is because regardless of who has what alleged power, or who has the “authority” to call the shots on the shots, we the people HAVE THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY.

We do not need to seek answers or solutions outside of our own beings and capacities.

Even though RFK Jr. and/or Trump may have the authority or power to pull the COVID shots or the entire modRNA-LNP platform from the market, we the people have the power to just say no to getting injected with them. And that’s precisely what we should do. No demand. No supply. Ba bye stock value. Hello right to choose.

Assuming self-authority

I have been doing a lot of work lately on my breathing, body movement and flow and also the art of detaching from material things in general. It is difficult for me because there seems to be a paradox with regard to letting go of material things and remaining grounded in the material world. The more I look inward and sit with/watch the [hard] thoughts in my head, the more it seems possible that being grounded actually means being untethered.

The more untethered to things I allow myself to be, the more grounded I feel.

This concept of being grounded once felt a grounding to material things. To the ground. To what some might call reality. But I am beginning to remember that this grounding/untethering is far more akin to getting away from material things, or at least remembering things that are not material. It is quite a conundrum for my brain because after all, my brain is a material thing and the ground is a material thing. Water is a material thing. Couldn’t surf without water. So I suppose the real question is: Are they material things, or are they simply manifestations of their conceptual essences rendered into a 3D realm where what I actually am is driving an avatar? Perhaps in a simulation, of sorts.

If we are in a simulation, then it might also be possible that the who that we are are like avatars, and the what that we are are the drivers of the avatars. This idea is different from the brain-in-a-vat perspective, because the latter would suggest a complete lack of control of the body, in my mind. It would also suggest that perhaps we are at some kind of mercy of other beings. I don’t think that to be the case. I am not sure whether or not we are spectators of a mere illusion, or how close we are to Plato’s Cave-ism, but I would guess that we are not mere spectators and that if we are in a Plato Cave, then I would guess that we have the capacity to “zoom out” and even “escape”.

I feel quite strongly that our who/ego avatars are manifestations of what we are, having an experience. I take us to be light beings somehow able to experience a material life. I see us a candles that always burn, with varying brightness and heat. “The atom is the trapped light, not a container that holds light.”

The reason why this is so important to ponder is because if it is true that we have sovereign, inalienable self-authority as untouchable light beings, then the data being harvested within our material existences is simply an empirical description – the mathematics – of who we are in this material place and thus, it bears no relevance to our true existences. I am not saying this means it won’t play out an obvious cause-effect show, but if we have the power to not let this show be our reality – or at least if we do not let it consume us – then life itself becomes … brighter.

If you guys are wondering what the hell I am talking about then I urge you to try an exercise today. Try to do your own version of “going within”. It might mean meditation to you. It might mean simply putting the phone down and going on a walk. But ultimately, the goal is to stop thinking and this is absolutely something we can allow ourselves to do. It is far easier to do without the constant stimulus of the material world: the lights, the sounds, the other people. Remove them, if only for 15 minutes. Get quiet.

Going within to me means finding that state of being where you are no longer generating thoughts and simultaneously, and probably because of this, you are able to observe thoughts. At expert level, you might even be able to discern between thoughts as in, if you generated them, or if they were cast upon you by others. In this state, you are noticing the finer, quantum-level events of the mind, including influences that are not yours, without confusing those passing events with the stable being that you are.

We are constantly bombarded with exogenous thoughts that come from any number of countless sources. I even have a working theory that humans cannot generate “negative” thoughts and that these are all exogenously cast upon us. If you stare hard enough at negative thoughts, you will see what I mean. In that state of simply being, where there is no fear, where there is no doubt, where there is no wanting, there is also no negativity, as we understand it.

So I guess going within is what most people would call meditation, but I don’t like labels because it always makes me feel like I have to achieve some kind of “goal” set by another. To me, going within is completely individual, and no two people will achieve the state of simply being in the same way. What is universal, however, is that it takes practice. Just like anything does. Repetition and discipline, if you like. Allowing yourself be in a state, that our current society abhors while trying to convince you that it is something only “crazy people” do, is the beginning of going within.

Take note that thoughts like “going within sounds crazy” or “meditating is something only flakes do” that you would believe to be yours, are likely not. Why would you be open to going within if you actually thought it was crazy to do so?

It is not a flake thing; it returns us to what we are.

I think when we allow ourselves to investigate our inner selves we allow for our lights to burn brighter and hotter which effectively, gets us closer to the source. To truth. To essence. This is my own speculation but what seems apparent from my own personal experience is that in this state, there is no fear. It’s very powerful. I think this is why fear has been used a tool to constrain and control us as a species. Fear keeps us occupied and impotent, so that we do not even recognize what we are, or have any interest in finding out.

Fear displaces remembering.

The separation from the “I”

The other morning about 4 days after I returned from my multi-jet trip, I woke up with that feeling of not knowing where I was. We’ve all had that feeling. Am I in a hotel? At my folks’ place? In a plane? It took a few moments for me to settle back into consciousness to realize I was in my bed at home. But the weirder part was… are you ready? I didn’t know who I was. I was not aware, for a few moments, of me as Jessica Rose. It also took only a few moments to come back into the consciousness of me – the who that I am – and I must say, it was a disconcerting feeling. Not because I was uncomfortable in that state of being “in between” the subconscious experience and the conscious one, but because once I was “back” to my who being, I was left wondering: Well if I wasn’t me, who the hell was I? Where was “I”? It was the time after being “in between” that left me a bit stirred.

Interesting that. Once I was me again, I realized there was something else. It was my first experience like this.

It wasn’t until I told a surfer friend of mine about this experience that I realized that perhaps I had simply let go of my ego. That’s what he suggested. So if I had been floating around the subconscious realm as what I am and not who, then again, what was I doing there and who was I? Was I everyone? Was I everything? Was I close to the source? Does matter exist there? I don’t remember the dream that I had had before waking, which is weird because usually I do, but it seems to me significant what happened. Perhaps it was a maintenance of a subconscious state while conscious, if for only a few moments. Maybe the most important question I could ask is: Was I me there?

A note on psychic phenomena

My mind goes to psychic phenomena and the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats after recounting this experience. It’s a movie about psychic spies and it’s based on real events and people. One of the main characters (Lyn Buchanan) is able to remote view really well and I wonder if the special government programs to hone the psychic powers of humans isn’t something that is actually very prescient today, even in the form of operations like MKUltra linked of course to the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.

Lyn Buchanan says in this interview that part of his training of psychic abilities involved idiograms. Ideograms are the written physical language between who you are and your subconscious mind. An ideogram is a symbol for an idea, a concept, or a thing.² He states in the interview that “the subconscious doesn’t speak to the conscious mind, but it speaks to the body”. I agree with this statement but I wonder if the latter is not true as well. Perhaps my subconscious was able to speak to my conscious mind for a few microseconds.

I am of the opinion that we are all capable of various and sundry things in the psychic realm. Is my opinion based in science? I am not sure yet. It could be. Might we be able to move objects with our minds if objects are not truly solid matter even in the material world? Neural activity is electromagnetic and local, and its fields fall off quickly and are tiny compared with the forces needed to lift or slide ordinary objects so it seems unlikely that we could move things with our minds. But what if those fields could be amplified and/or what if the mind and matter are coupled somehow?

Reality in the material world, at the level described by physics at least, consists of energy organized into fields that permeate spacetime. What we refer to as matter are the stable, localized concentrations of that energy – particles such as quarks and electrons – whose rest mass is itself a form of energy according to E=mc^2. These particles interact by exchanging other quanta of energy (photons, gluons, etc.) so the distinction between “stuff” and “motion” is not fundamental since both are patterns in the same underlying fields conserved in total quantity, convertible into one another and constrained by the geometry of spacetime. So the macroscopic world of “solid objects” and empty space is simply the large-scale appearance of these energetic patterns when they cohere into atoms, molecules, and bound systems. And if you go with string theory, it’s all about those vibrations, isn’t it?

So it’s about coherence, not solidity. Coherence explains why matter holds together as stable patterns of energy in fields, and even though it is tempting to believe that our minds could interfere with this coherence with intention alone, it does not necessarily imply that intention alone can affect those patterns at a distance. Telekinesis would require a mind to couple (or be coupled) to distant mass-energy and do work on it without any electromagnetic or gravitational intermediary that would scale with the forces involved.

No such coupling “appears” in the structure of the fields or conservation laws in this reality, but again, what if mind-matter coupling lays outside of the structure of these fields? Experimentally, the energy and momentum to achieve telekinesis would have to come from somewhere, and also leave a detectable and measurable trace. To date, this has not been achieved. Energy and matter do interact, there’s no doubt about that, so again, can an intentional mind affect matter, and can we measure the work being done?

There are easy experiments we can do (and that surely are being done) to prove or disprove the ability to move objects with mind. For example, use a cup unshielded on a precision force sensor, surround it with calibrated electric- and magnetic-field probes, and compare intentional trials against matched controls (subject present but not intending, or intending while facing away) to test whether any measured field at the cup is timed, oriented and strong enough to account for the recorded force and the energy needed to move it. Easy peasy.

Thought experiment about thoughts

Here’s a thought experiment for all with respect to going within. Can you have/generate two thoughts at the same time?

On this question, I would say that we can absolutely hold two thoughts simultaneously, but this might be different from generating two thoughts at the same time. I have gone beyond the thought experiment and tried this as an exercise and I’ve “seen” multiple thoughts in my mind’s eye. It’s weird that the best words I can use to describe this experience was visual, but in the vast dark of the silence inside my head during going within sessions, I can clearly see multiple thoughts. They’re almost like strings of words going outward like in the beginning of Star Wars. I am not sure if this means I am holding two thoughts at once, or having two thoughts at once.

If not all of the thoughts that we “have” are self-generated, it seems logical to assume that we can hold two thoughts at once. As I said, I think thoughts can be imposed on us from exogenous sources. Think about what planting a thought means.

The question as whether we can have/generate two thoughts at once remains unanswered to me and it’s ironically, something I have to think about.

Honing mental ability and going within

Why, in all of our greatness, do we not focus on honing mental ability and self-awareness as a species? Why do we not focus on going within to find answers that are inevitably already there? Is it because of the unending pressure to quantify everything and to make jokes about these exercises and practices? Who started this? Did it start, or did this idea simply get amplified when homeopathic ways were supplanted by holistic methodologies?

Academic homeopathy was indeed supplanted after Abraham Flexner’s 1910 report and when American Medical Association pressure closed most of its schools. The surviving practice was recast inside the holistic health movement of the 1970s, a shift described by historian John S. Haller Jr. and since advanced by organizers of the American Holistic Medical Association such as Norman Shealy and Gladys McGarey (founded 1978). Perhaps it is better to see self, health and life itself as a whole, non?

Another interesting question to ponder is how is this linked to the alleged “War on Drugs”? Why have particular medicinal plants been demonized? The War on Drugs was a farce and policy failure because not only did it fail to reduce drug use or availability, it cost the U.S. government approximately $1 trillion over four decades. Well done Nixon. Well done.

Psilocybin is a really amazing substance that appears to rewire our brains, or at the very least, increase plasticity in them. Perhaps it brings us back to a more innocent phase of our brains’ lives when we were young and very neuroplastic. Many studies support this as described in a recent Nature Medicine publication. I have no doubt that psilocybin in particular can be an extremely useful tool when doing exercises involving self-exploration. Ibogaine as well.

Tying it all together

From invasions to drug wars to isolation – it all ties together when one considers that someone or something (a force that needs centralized control) is very invested in ensuring that you forget what you are and where you came from. Something is very invested in refusing you your true legacy, or on a more surface level, your true legacy in the material world.

So what can we do? How can we fight such powerful forces desperately working on making us dependent and afraid?

We can remember.

Go within. Let go of thinking. Be. Watch your thoughts. Be still with your breath.

It is entirely possible that we could be living in a world built by something blind. A world as a perfect illusion to subdue our essence and to ensure we do not remember what we truly are.

We are far more than simply data and I think if we can get to point where we remember this, the power of true freedom will be upon us.

Dr. Fadi Lama: ‘How sovereign states Iran, Russia, China BROKE THE BACK of western power’87tfd

[D Benton Smith]

So-called “Artificial Intelligence” is itself irrefutable proof that the Universe is governed by a Divine and logical intelligence which created and runs it, because “artificial” Intelligence would not have been able to replicate artificially if Intelligence did not already exist (to be copied) in the first place. The copy ain’t as good as the original, but it’s pretty damned impressive, which further proves the point.

Well if that is the case (and it is the case) then folks better recalibrate their thinking machines to take that rather fundamental fact into account when they’re trying to think things out. I think that there is some MAJOR rethinking for a whole LOT of people to do.

Well, that’s the end of Food! Workin’ on that 160 Million. Killin’ some folks. Personally, I’m in favor! States, Cities, let them try it, see how it works!

“In Germany, 87% Of Suspects With An Arrest Warrant Are Foreigners

Why do they not like foreigners tho’? I blame racism.

“The AfD’s rising trajectory demonstrates that – like throughout the rest of the West – voters increasingly want an end to unchecked mass migration…

Remember in Britain, they placed an entire town under martial law and house arrest to unload thousands of more illegals who statistically will be given 5-star hotels and £36,000 income and benefits. …Then also fly over 3 more wives. That that town and people paid for. By working while immigrants don’t.

UK spends a BILLION pounds per week on foreign-born nationals while their people are jailed and starved white.

But why do they hate tho’.

Luongo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qDMAaJUUAI4

Now 25min, roughly speaking, UK etc own MOST of USTreasuries. Okay. How much they hate us, Orange Man, and the U.S. “We’re about to collapse”. Uhhh, ok. They own them to some extent that in order to have the volume to RIG THE PRICE. Or attack us. Which they’re doing, look at rates. Okay. But it’s all details:

WHEN UK tried to dump the 30-year in order to paint the charts that the U.S. sucks we’re having a bond/currency collapse, what happens? Well, they’re sold, duh. Okay, and? And they were bought by them at 2% to sell at 5%, duh. So they’re going to take a Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge loss, a bath on those. Wow, that sounds bad, but they are a Central Bank. 1) They print money 2) They destroy the British people, so no problem there.

Okay, but BESSANT now BUYS the 30 year – Duh. And he buys it at a 25% DISCOUNT. London is going to beat us by fire-bombing us with 25% discounts? No. Don’t. Stop. Just like Canada is going to beat us by selling us oil at $25/bbl discount. Oh noes.

So Bessant gets to 1) buy any bond he wants, that’s on super-special discount, even by helping the prices rig himself. 2) Get them at 75% of the value of what he’d have to pay. 3) NOT pay 25 more years of interest expense, at all, since those 25 years never happened. 3) LOWER the US National debt at a big discount. Thanks, guys! 4) ALSO set the prices and terms wherever he would prefer, bc remember, Yellen tried to crash the whole U.S. by making $10 Trillion national debt all due by next Thursday, taking the shortest possible term she could arrange. Bessant can set maturity anywhere he wants.

Because we can withstand the short-term attack, London is HELPING us long-term. This isn’t something unusual, this is common in war, where if you make a short attack into an area and can’t pursue it, you’ve expended, are exposed, and if they survive are in a far better position to counter attack you. We see this 4 years in a row in Ukraine, where they want to make a PR splash by killing 50k men by “counterattacking” into a heavily-defended Russian area they can’t hold. Same here.

“In First, Putin Conveys High Level Message To Trump On Ending Iran War
Putin sent the message to Trump “in agreement with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.”

That thing that doesn’t happen happened a thousand more times, Pepe. Nobody’s talking to the United States at all, except for “Everybody”, who seems to be talking to the U.S. all the time.

US Naval guns: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjz-EZaGcA

Of course because the video is out today means they only discovered it now and this is the first time this ship-defense gun has ever been used. …And not like 4,000 times shooting drones around the Lincoln. The video says “Only one ship in the whole US Navy has this gun”. Uh-huh. Because the Pentagon never lies about anything. They also don’t say why it’s only on one ship ( it isn’t) how they aim it – except it’s interlocked with Aegis Radar the whole AI system –, and no list of how much ammunition. (A lot).

So the real key here is the targeting, and how far out. If you can aim a .50 cal over the horizon using AI “radar” or more like full-spectrum awareness, then you can see how the Lincoln can survive 4,000 attacks of…everything Iran and London could find on earth to throw at it. Because sinking it would be a prize without peer.

That’s how confident they/we were. And apparently should be, as they were correct, and I was wrong.

Second question: since certainly this was very well tested, endlessly, for many years…somebody want to explain to me where and when? Where can you test this for years, over and over, with essentially real drones…and no one sees or notices?

I asked the same about the Oreshniks, which Russia was very confident in. Where did they test them? 3rd moon of Jupiter? …Yet they WERE tested somewhere, and the U.S. knows where…because they didn’t ask the question either. Asking the question opens a huge can of worms doesn’t it? A invisible Test range of several hundred miles. Doesn’t seem to be the surface of the earth! So where?

“Trump Says “Time For Ukraine To Get A New Leader” After Zelensky Ignored Six Pleas To Stop Refinery Strikes

Again, love it when they do this because it gives us a chance to put 200% tariffs and cut their money off. Huge savings! But we can’t “Unilaterally” do this. We have to take a vote of 250 countries for all our decisions.

I say yes! Iran now has to ask all 250 nations before they “Unilaterally” cut off everyone’s oil. We’ll have a vote.

“My question is this. What was the impetus for moving 2 million people over to Canada if there was no plan to either keep them there legally, or to ensure that they returned home after their visas expired?”

One of 100 such questions. But One is an accident, then they see the accident, and aren’t mad, they’re HAPPY. Then they do it again. Then 99 times more, and every “Accident” points the same direction: 160 Million dead. Or in Canada’s case, top cause of death. So none of it is an accident. You don’t have 100 compasses, all sitting on a table, and every pointer is the same direction.

“Some “leaders” seem to have missed class when it was taught that without the ability to speak on REAL issues that threaten societies, we cannot solve REAL problems”

Free speech is the first step. Having opinions from free speech is functionally identical. But also leaders, institutions, must be discredited when wrong. They must take a punishment of whatever sort, as a disincentive. Although I would make it legal, monetary, etc, all it takes in the biggest sense is for We the People to do so. We don’t need a “Them”.

When you’re wrong, what you’re saying is wrong, your predictions are wrong, you must be discredited and discarded. That’s okay! It’s not fatal! You can always claw your way back in by demonstrating reformed results later.

BUt that can’t be right: I’ve been made to understand free speech, free books, free discussion, and gun rights are Hitler.

Odd Man Out https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/odd-man-out

My working view of global political economy is that real-economy is 90% correlated with usage of oil and petroleum products, and that net petroleum production peaked around Nobember 2018, with a dip until a second peak November 2025, and that a long decline in net production appears inevitable going forward.
Shrinkage of the economic pie is underway, but arrangements for how to divide it are very much contested amongst players, not all of whom are nation-states.
Additionally, there is broad agreement to not reveal that net oil production has rolled over into permanent decline, the end of 300 years of real economic growth for human economies upon our planet, fossil-fuel driven growth.
The current control-narrative is that war is causing the economic changes we are experiencing, and that peace-arrangements might allow a return to normalcy. This control-narrative is extremenly flexible. Specifics can be modified at any time by any party without challenging the narrative. War is the all-purpose narrative that fosters societal cohesion when sweeping economic and financial changes are necessary. Wars, themselves are fluid as they progress. Alliances can adjust or change in the course of war, without it seeming too odd.
What is inevitable is financial reset and debt write-downs, since total debts and liabilities are something like 10X global GDP. Debts and liabilities could be much better sustained at 5% of that, half of global GDP. Who will be forced to accept losses is not decided officially, just as the progression of wars is not officially declared ahead of time, and sometimes surprises observers.

Trump and Putin had a 90 minute talk Friday, following Putin’s 74th birthday Thursday. Alot of details remain secret, presumably due to their being a lot of contingency based upon the level of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and other oil and gas infrastructure.
The Ukrainian team was meeting in Florida to push the US to go much harder against the Russian economy, rather than accepting Trump’s exhortations to stop hitting Russian refineries and tankers so diesel prices could come down ahead of US midterm elections. Zelensky appears to have been playing very hard against this leverage, but has been completelyundercut by the US removing most Russian trade sanctions for 3 months.
No agreement by Russia to stop striking Ukrainian electrical infrastructure, bridges, trucking, shipping, gas stations or other infrastructure has been voiced by any party.
Trump appears to have greatly increased the Russian advantage, going into a very hard, potentially impossible winter for the people of Ukraine. The natural question is whether this will be enough to force a capitulation of Ukraine to Russian terms of peace, which include Ukrainian neutrality, major demilitarization, normalization of rights for Russian speakers, and denazification, of some sort.
I don’t see this as a tactical move on Trump’s part, but a strategic move to align Russian and US interests in the global resource wars against resource-poor Europe and European old-money interests that need a greater war on Russia, to avoid declaring investment losses, not a peace that will devastate their balance sheets and show them to be insolvent.
There must have also been discussion of the Mideast wars, though it is sensitive and remains quite private. Putin could agree not to share targeting information with Iran, at no great expense to Iran, as China is also assumed to be sharing high quality information with Iran. Iran has its own satellite and other regional reconnoisance data.
Zelensky is reported to have insulted Trump as “dishonest” and “weak”, thogh there is room for those comments to be aimed at the policy decisions, not the man.
My expectation would be for Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure and Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure to continue and possibly increase, as Russia should naturally seek to press the initiative and force Ukraine to finally surrender.
European cooperation in removing funding from Ukraine will be necessary. It will not come from the UK.
There are teasers floated about Nordstream reopening to Germany with a US profit-cut included. The fall of Merz is nigh and AfD would love to cut that deal. Marine LePen awaits in the French wings.
Interestingly, these deals will have to be done outside of $US trade-channels, such as SWIFT, done on Russian trade-terms. It will be easy for India and China.

​ Gilbert Doctorow, Breaking news: Trump reaches deal with Putin for release of Russian diesel stock to global markets
Donald Trump has struck a deal with Vladimir Putin for Russia to release diesel to the world, sparking a backlash from Ukraine as Washington aims to quell fuel prices ahead of November’s midterm elections. The US president on Friday said Moscow had agreed to “immediately” release 300,000 tonnes of the fuel “to the American and Global Marketplace” followed by another 500,000 tonnes in November and a further 1mn tonnes “immediately thereafter”.​ …
..Let us consider here other, rather different dimensions of this extraordinary deal: what it says about the two-way relationship of Putin and Trump, what it says about the likelihood of a U.S. deal on restoring the Nord Stream pipelines which is being rumored in the German press, and what it says about how and when the Russia-Ukraine war will end.
​ As we have heard in recent weeks, Donald Trump has sought to explain the soaring prices of diesel by the damage done to Russian refineries from Ukrainian drone attacks …
​..Alt Media experts pooh poohed that reality when they directed all attention to Donald Trump and his repeatedly blaming high diesel prices on the Ukrainian destruction of Russian capacity rather than on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz resulting from his war of aggression on Iran.
​ With that background situation explained, let us move on to consider what the deal announced today suggests with respect to Russian-US relations. It is a thunderbolt! Vladimir Putin is now openly assisting the electoral prospects of Trump in the mid-term elections. This suggests a deal of far reaching proportions. Some kind of quid pro quo has been agreed. It is likely that the quid pro quo is in several directions. Almost certainly it suggests that there is a real U.S. plan for financing repairs to the Nord Stream pipeline and for the U.S. to be selling the Russian gas to Europe over the ferocious opposition of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This in turn envisages a fierce battle with the European Parliament and European Commission who have put in place a total ban on Russian hydrocarbon imports as from 1 January 2027.
​ It is inconceivable that these plans for commercial cooperation are being laid down without some US-Russian understanding on how and when the Ukraine war will end. I will not speculate here and now on the content of such an understanding. However, I will be paying very close attention to all developments in the forthcoming meeting of Trump’s emissaries with the Kremlin…
​..By holding out for this deal till the last weeks before the midterms, Putin surely has been able to extract the greatest benefits for Russia. He has also waited till the Russian harvest is largely collected already. Remember that agricultural equipment is a major and time sensitive consumer of diesel fuel and that domain in the Russian economy has already been served.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/breaking-news-trump-reaches-deal

Gilbert Doctorow, Trump’s turn against Ukraine and EU leadership
Yesterday’s lightning bolt announcement by Donald Trump of his deal with President Vladimir Putin for release of vast quantities of Russian diesel fuel onto global markets was only the first stunning development of the day as we now know from further mainstream coverage.
​ First the timing of Trump’s announcement was itself very important. It came amidst talks in Miami between the President’s emissaries and a negotiating team from Kiev who had hoped to agree with Washington further means of pressure on the Kremlin and support for Kiev. These Ukrainians were shocked by the betrayal implicit in Trump’s now approving and facilitating new multi billion dollar diesel exports by Russia. They and Kiev were quick to denounce the deal and plans for a second day of talks in Miami were cancelled.
President Trump went on to call for Zelensky’s replacement by someone who is capable of negotiating a peace with Russia. And he sharply criticized Kiev’s continuing drone strikes on Russian refineries despite his call for them to desist, saying he is prepared to halt US intelligence sharing if his warning is not heeded.
Suspension of this infelligence. which was done only for 8 days early in Trump’s presidency, would hammer Ukraine’s war effort and bring the conflict to a speedy conclusion.
​ Of course Trump’s latest actions and words set him on a direct course of open coflict with German and EU leadership, as ut was no doubt intended to do.
If anyone can bring down the neo-Nazi Merz and the tyrants running the European Commission it is Donald J Trump.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/trumps-turn-against-ukraine-and-eu

Simplicius, Rift Turns to Fracture: Ukrainian Delegation Beats Town After Don’s Diesel Decree
Just as a delegation sent by Zelensky touched down in Miami for a private sit-down with Trump capos Kushner and Witkoff, the godfather himself made a stunning pronouncement: the ban on Russian diesel is to be lifted.​ And the reason left Zelensky grinding his gold-capped molars: The Ukrainian head’s refusal to obey the Don’s demands to halt strikes on Russian oil sites…
​..The justification exposes a putrid double-dealing game: Trump’s failures in Iran have led to economic woes in the US which now threaten midterm elections. In order to redeem one folly, Trump is forced to burn bridges in Kiev—no pun intended​…
​..Kushner and Witkoff put the shake-down on the Z-crew by threatening to cut all intelligence sharing, which would cripple Ukraine’s ability to put a hit on Russian oil sites.​.. It’s not because Ukrainian drones need the GPS coordinates for Russian refineries—that’s the easy part. It’s because they need real-time satellite tracking of Russian active radars in order to map a perfect flight route that bypasses radar coverage.​..
​..Zelensky immediately went on the offensive, for the first time openly calling out Trump with accusations of “weakness” against Russia​…
​..Tracking sites reportedly are already tailing the first Russian “shadow fleet” diesel shipments to mainland America: Given that the ship has already crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean, it’s clear—if the above is accurate—that the deal had already been in the works for some time. However, some claim it is not diesel in this tanker but rather fertilizer, which had already been allowed.​..
..Now Trump has really put his foot on Zelensky’s neck by openly calling for Ukraine to get a new president in what appears to be a final severing of the erstwhile relationship with the Bankova honcho​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/rift-turns-to-fracture-ukrainian

​ John Helmer,​ OLIGARCHS OF THE WORLD UNITE AT ELECTION TIME — TRUMP’S OCTOBER SURPRISE PLUS PUTIN’S OCTOBER SURPRISE REVEAL A “SAFE BET”
​ The telephone call which President Donald Trump has been trying to make to President Vladimir Putin since the morning of October 7, and which the Kremlin spokesman refused to confirm each day since, was such a surprise when it happened on Friday evening, the Kremlin kept it secret from the Russian press until Trump spoke first.​..
​..According to Moscow sources in a position to know, Putin is keeping secret what diesel terms have been agreed because they are conditional. The Russians are waiting for Trump to order the Ukrainians to cease attacking the hinterland refineries, port terminals, and tankers at sea. The delivery schedule Trump has announced isn’t confirmed by the Russians because the shipments will not occur until and unless Trump proves that he can control the drone war.
​ “There is a Kremlin wager,” one source commented, “and it’s a safe bet for a good Russian profit. If the Trump announcement helps him improve his position in Congress on November 3, he will owe Putin a big favour, and he should press harder on Zelensky, NATO, the Europeans. And if he doesn’t, or can’t because he loses as badly as predicted on November 3, the Russian diesel export releases proposed for November and December can be stopped immediately. And if there is sanctions relief, they will turn out to be a cheap price to pay, and Russian money to earn, if the entire scheme stops on January 9, and we go back to war as usual.”
​ On Trump’s side, the wager has been made to appear in Kiev, and also Israel, as a Trump ultimatum.
​ An Israeli reporter in Washington was briefed by a US and a Ukrainian official to print: “During eight hours of talks in Miami on Friday, Witkoff and Kushner told a Ukrainian negotiating team that the president was expected to speak to Putin and lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports. They were told that Trump decided to move forward after Ukraine ignored multiple requests to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries, which were directly affecting U.S. consumers.”
​ “A Ukrainian official claimed that during the talks, Witkoff and Kushner threatened that Trump could cut off Ukraine from U.S. intelligence if it continued to ignore his requests. The U.S. official denied such a threat was made and said Witkoff and Kushner told the Ukrainians that the U.S. was a strong partner, providing munitions and intelligence. Ukraine therefore shouldn’t take actions that hurt American consumers​. https://johnhelmer.net/oligarchs-of-the-world-unite-at-election-time-trumps-october-surprise-plus-putins-october-surprise-reveal-a-safe-bet/#more-95113

​Thanks for this, Eleni. “Ansar Allah” mean’s Helpers of God. Alastair Crooke, Ansar Allah’s unperceived advantages against Saudi Arabia
Geography, Yemen’s revolutionary inheritance, Saudi internal factionalism and its contested Islamic credentials are Yemen’s trump cards
​ Ansar Allah [Houthis] enjoys many perhaps unperceived advantages in its conflict against the ‘wealthy’, westernised Saudi Kingdom. This is a war recently rekindled by Saudi’s September rupture of the 2022 Truce, when it bombed Sanaa’s international airport in July 2026 to prevent an Iranian civilian aircraft from landing.
​ Saudi Arabia says that Trump explicitly approved the airport strike — thereby opening the way for Ansar Allah to put aside the truce, and for war to flare up.
​ Ansar Allah responded to the breach of Truce with an 18 hour ‘blitz’ strike that seized the west coast of Yemen (some 5,400 sq. km taken in 11 days), the key ports and the main strategic islands in the Red Sea.Their actions and strategy were well planned and grounded in a deep understanding and experience of the Peninsula’s unique geography and societal make-up.​..
​..This geographic reality suggests that Saudi air power will not dislodge agile mountain tribesmen from their mountain redoubt. Ansar Allah, in any case, fight asymmetrically. Having been relentlessly bombed for over a decade, they fight as “free men”; they ‘flit’ from place to place, and their military infra-structure is buried (in a practice similar to that of Iran). They now control the Bab al-Mandab Strait with artillery, thus saving their more sophisticated drones and missiles for other purposes.​..
..The initial Saudi offensive against Ansar Allah was a débacle; with no central command, no plan and unprepared logistics, the assault collapsed. Fighting now seems to be spreading to Jizan and Najran Provinces — currently part of Saudi Arabia. These are two of three rich, fertile Yemeni provinces seized by Saudi Arabia in the 1930s. Undoubtedly Yemen wants them back.​..
​..Notably, Trump and other ‘allies’ have declined to come to the rescue of MbS [Mohammed bin Salman] — ostracism and denial that will not pass unnoticed by the Saudi clans and tribes who still resent King Salman’s gerrymandering of the royal succession in 2017, contrary to tradition, to name MbS, his favoured son, as Crown Prince (rather than the next brother in the line of succession). Nor will MbS’ November 2017 shake-down of near 400 princes, oligarchs and ministers at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh be forgotten; nor will the hogging of oil resources and, as Professor Madawi Al-Rasheed outlines, the subjugation of Saudi tribes for the instalment of one family rule, be forgiven.
​ The second factor — apart from geography — that should to be taken into account are Ansar Allah’s roots in an historic revolutionary creed and the Peninsula’s long contentious history.
​ José Alberto Nino explains that​ “behind Ansar Allah’s surprising geopolitical gains stands an ancient religious tradition. Zaydism is one of the 3 surviving major branches of Shia Islam alongside Twelverism and Ismailism”…
​..”Zaydism takes its name from Zayd ibn Ali, a great-great-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad … Whereas Twelvers believe the Imam must be divinely appointed and Ismailis follow a hereditary living Imam, Zaydis hold that any learned descendant of Ali can lead by rising in arms against tyranny”.
​ “The Houthis remain a Zaydi-rooted movement but have built a broader coalition across sectarian lines…[recuiting] Shafi’i Sunnis and installed southern Sunni politicians in visible civilian posts, while appealing to Sunni communities through sovereignty, anti-corruption, anti-intervention, and pro-Palestinian solidarity messaging.”​…
​..Its sustained defiance to Israel, he says, comes not merely from Hizbullah nor Iran, but is anchored in its first Imam’s ‘own raising of arms against tyranny’ when he rebelled against the Umayyad Caliphate in 740 CE and was martyred.
​ Antipathy towards Jews amongst the Houthis primordially arose, Nino writes, “after the Sabbatean movement of 1666, a mass messianic excitement” [of vast numbers of Jews around the world and centred on Sabbatai Zevi as the Messiah leading Jews to imminent Redemption] stormed Yemen.
​ Sabbatean mysticism was highly controversial everywhere, from Europe to Asia, with thousands of Jews being ex-communicated by their Rabbinical authorities for their Sabbatean practice. Sabbatai Zevi, and the practices embraced by his movement, so outraged the Ottoman Caliph, Mehmed IV, that he ordered Zevi to convert to Islam or accept to be put to death. Zevi chose to convert to Islam in 1666.
​ Most of his huge following ostensibly converted to Islam too, following Zevi’s lead, but secretly remained ‘Sabbatean’. Hence the Dönmeh movement of dissimulation of secret allegiance inside Turkey and beyond.​..
​..No doubt the Ottoman Caliph imagined the Sabbatean episode had been wrapped-up in 1666 — but there was a twist in the tail that ultimately contributed to the dismantlement of the Caliphate. The manner in which the Caliphate was dismantled cast shadows on Ibn Saud’s embrace of Abd-al Wahhab and his zealotry — an alliance seen as deeply antithetical to Sunni Islam as whole.
​ For centuries, the Dönmeh had lived a double life — practicing an ‘open secret’ identity where true religious allegiances were dissimulated. When the Young Turks began advocating for a Western-style secular state, the Dönmeh eagerly championed the cause. A secular, nationalist Turkey meant they would no longer be defined by the strict religious legal codes (the Millet system) of the Ottoman Empire. They could finally step out of the shadows as equal, secular Turkish citizens.
​ Mainstream historians acknowledge that the Dönmeh community played a foundational role in the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) and the subsequent collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
​ Viewed from the perspective of Ottoman loyalists, the Empire had been brought down by two unorthodox, disruptive forces — internal secularising reformers in the West (often Dönmeh), and secondly, by radical religious zealots in the East (the Wahhabis). In the remote desert of central Arabia (the Najd), the alliance between Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and the House of Saud was perceived as a direct war on Ottoman religious credentials and on its territorial hegemony.​..
..A highly publicized 2002 Iraqi Intelligence Report discovered after the fall of Baghdad (and earlier works by Ottoman writers like Ayyub Sabri Pasha) claimed that Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (the founder of Wahhabism) and Muhammad bin Saud were descendants of the Dönmeh…
​..Whilst Turkey — as the primary successor state of the Ottoman Empire — retains a deep cultural memory of the Ottoman-Wahhabi Wars, many Turkish religious authorities view Wahhabism as a highly destructive, un-Islamic movement threatening the spiritual integrity of Islam. So too do the Shia, whether Iranian or Yemeni, regard the sack of Karbala, led by Saud bin Abd-al Azziz (the son of the King), to have been an existential attack on their spiritual identity. Between 2,000-5,000 Shia were killed and the shrine of Ibn Hussein was plundered.
​ The event horrified both Shia and Sunni Muslims across the region. In revenge, a Shia assassin travelled from Iraq to the Saudi capital of Diriyah in late 1803 and stabbed the Saudi ruler, Abd-al Aziz, to death. Eventually, an Ottoman-Egyptian force laid siege to the Saudi capital of Diriyah. After a brutal several-month siege, the city surrendered.
​ This history exemplifies the structural vulnerability of the al-Saud’s Islamic credentials in their war with Ansar Allah — an understanding completely at odds with the Western perception of Saudi Arabia as a ‘reformist’ state and a pole of Islamic credibility.​ https://www.sott.net/article/508797-Ansar-Allahs-unperceived-advantages-against-Saudi-Arabia

Paul Marik MD, Cancer in the United States and Around the World – Rising risk, marginal survival gains, the limited contribution of chemotherapy, and a widening global divide
​ The overall risk of cancer is increasing. Annual new diagnoses in the United States rose by about 20% between 2013 and 2024, passed two million for the first time, and are projected to reach 2.11 million in 2026. Incidence is rising in women, in younger adults and for most of the common cancers, including breast, prostate, uterine, pancreatic and early-onset colorectal cancer. The number of Americans who die of cancer each year is also still rising.
​ Survival has improved only marginally. Five-year survival rose by roughly 4 to 5 percentage points over the past two decades, to about 70%, and part of that gain reflects earlier diagnosis and overdiagnosis rather than longer lives. The fall in the age-adjusted death rate since 1991 is real, but it owes most to reduced smoking and earlier detection.
​ Chemotherapy has had a minimal effect on overall survival. Cytotoxic chemotherapy accounts for only about 2% of five-year survival in adults with cancer, with meaningful benefit confined largely to a few uncommon cancers. Newer drugs approved for solid tumors have added a median of about two months of life, and many reach the market without evidence of any survival or quality-of-life benefit.
​ Globally, the same forces are playing out with even less favorable outcomes. Diagnoses are projected to rise by more than 75% by 2050, lower-income countries face both infection-related and “Western” cancers, and survival for curable cancers such as breast cancer is less than half that of high-income countries.
​ The lesson is clear: we will not treat our way out of the cancer epidemic. The priority must be prevention (tobacco control, metabolic health, physical activity, healthy diet, limited alcohol and vaccination against cancer-causing infections) together with early detection and honest evaluation of what cancer treatments actually deliver.​ https://paulmarik.substack.com/p/cancer-in-the-united-states-and-around

​ The Dark Side of Unmindfulness​, By Anam Thubten Rinpoche
Mindfulness is not some kind of new vaccine, the effects of which remain unknown even after passing serious trials. It is a very ancient practice that can change our consciousness for the better. As is well known, the Buddha taught mindfulness more than 2,500 years ago, and it became an essential practice in almost all Buddhist traditions. It is called sati in Pali, smriti in Sanskrit, and dranpa nyerzhak in Tibetan. Countless people have practiced mindfulness, resulting in inner peace and even profound experiences such as enlightenment. Many people in Asia still practice it with great reverence as a means of inner liberation.
​ Within recent decades, mindfulness has become quite popular in the West, almost a fashionable trend. There are now countless workshops, retreats, and apps devoted to mindfulness. Personal testimonies and scientific research supporting its positive effects have catapulted mindfulness into the cultural limelight. Many people in the West have found that they can use mindfulness to train their minds, develop a more positive outlook, and learn to work with their thoughts and emotions. This is not merely an assumption; there is concrete evidence of its benefits. One of the greatest strengths of mindfulness is that it can be universal. It can be practiced by people from different backgrounds because it is not built on a rigid theistic religious doctrine.​..
​..The concept of the “dark side” of mindfulness can therefore be misleading. It may lead people to believe that there is something intrinsically wrong with mindfulness, when many problems associated with the practice may have more to do with how it is taught and practiced.
​ Perhaps it is time for everyone to revisit the way meditation has traditionally been taught in Asia and to draw upon essential ancient wisdom as a source of guidance for the practice of mindfulness.
​ Beyond its benefits at the individual level, mindfulness has the potential to help society become happier and kinder. The more people embrace mindfulness, the greater its potential benefit may be. It is one of the few ancient spiritual practices that can be practiced by people across cultures and traditions. Its potential to contribute to social transformation is enormous.
​ Overall, the widespread adoption of this ancient practice in the modern world is not something to be feared, but something to be welcomed. We should be grateful to the Dharma teachers who have been true pioneers in making these practices accessible to the general population.​ https://www.buddhistdoor.net/features/the-dark-side-of-unmindfulness/

“The oil deal with Russia is a big deal. That’s massive amounts of oil coming into our country.’

Note the Order of Operations here: 1) Europe trying to dick with us and rig the elections by creatind an unnecessary fuel shortage. Since that isn’t caused by the Straits, they withhold fuel and bomb refineries. This is Blamed on Putler and Orange Man. 2) After letting this reach the proper pitch, Trump then tells ALL EUROPE — using his bullhorn which can’t really be stopped — ‘Ackshully, YOUR LEADERS have a s—t tonne of oil, THEY JUST WON’T USE IT.” This flips the script that Putler and Orange Man are villains, suddenly EUROPEAN LEADERS are the mass-murdering villains…because they are. 3) Europe COULD have objected and held out, denied this. They most often do. But that wouldn’t have mattered and it shows their great weakness they didn’t this time. 4) Fuel shortage solved.

…Just kidding! 5) Trump ALSO has had a deal with Russia, which must have been set up weeks, even months ago. If he used this, he could not then turn around and demand Europe. So you expose Europe as a bunch of mass-murdering psycho maniacs FIRST, make them cough up all the oil they’d been hoarding for WAR, and only THEN get Russia to release EVEN MORE. 6) This makes Russia the hero and Rich AF as well. No war, and TWICE the diesel curing shortage. Win-win.

7) That’s because the U.S. and Russia are ALLIES, going way back. And China is too. ARC. Now notice who else gets screwed: Iran. Supposedly the China-Russia ALLY, according to Pepe, while they do literally f—k all to help them, and often undermine them just like this again and again. So no. Something about BRIIICS, while real, is far more complicated. 8) London, and all Europe, ARE CUT OUT of the oil deal. The broker for the billion dollar Russia-America sale is Wall Street. London squeezed out, irrelevant, sidelined, choked.

“Russia had agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel to American and global markets in an effort to ease soaring energy prices.”

What else? 9) Reports of Russia’s (refinery) demise have been greatly exaggerated. That is, Ze’s drone campaign was not “The only thing” – it didn’t do f—k all, and Russia is stuffed to the tits with diesel and oil.

“Republicans leading in nine key Senate races”

While polling is worthless, the DNC-bias has lately been PLUS EIGHT. So when they say Democrats are 8 points up, it’s actually at par. So if they say the race is a dead-heat, then GOP is eight points ahead?

““If Democrats have everything going for them this cycle, they should be rolling in cash, not begging for it. This doesn’t jibe with the polling that shows them ahead.”

Among hundreds of data points.

“EU-NATO countries in keeping maximum conflict at the forefront. They do not want a strategic agreement between Putin and Trump.”

They want no peace. Europe, NATO want total genocidal war, killing millions perhaps billions. Then they can balance their books! Yay! Trump and Putin want peace. If he wants war, why is he brokering peace everywhere? Isn’t that counterproductive? LONDON wants war, as they signed a 100 YEAR deal with Ukraine, and Germany vowed to take the whole continent on a war footing.

“You understand exactly why the U.K. needs Zelenskyy to stop this agreement between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. London’s entire market control system is at risk. It’s all connected.”

But Pepe says no one talks to the U.S. and Iran isn’t negotiating. …Except “All the time”, “Since the beginning.” But other than that, no negotiating. As well they should! As all nations should! So why lie about it, Pepe? Being a Reporter = Always Lying.

“ In just October alone, the Iranians have attacked eleven ships trying to traverse the strait.”

Over and over. So ONLY 11. Of 200? Okay. And ONLY TWO were stopped in any way? Are you guys even trying??? I’m supposed to be worried about this? Gosh, that may be the same success rate as pre-war I dunno, there’s a lot of derilict tankers around.

“But the Iran war, which the White House in the opening days kept promising would be swift and decisive, has devolved into a quagmire”

Yes, a “Quagmire” is when it’s only 9 months and with near-zero casualties. Totally the definition of a quagmire.

““Tulsi explains why Islamic theology is antithetical to freedom and completely against American values.”

This shouldn’t matter, as they are free to have their own actions and opinions, but very quickly their beliefs and theology will conflict with U.S. Law.

Make no mistake about it, this is what a party does when it knows its candidate can’t win on the merits.
It stops trying to persuade voters and starts managing the process instead.

Republicans are right to fight this in court now, because once the election is over, the damage is done and the evidence is gone.

Disaster has struck the Ukrainian-American relationship at a moment meant to be a turning point in peace efforts to end the war. Just as a delegation sent by Zelensky touched down in Miami for a private sit-down with Trump capos Kushner and Witkoff, the godfather himself made a stunning pronouncement: the ban on Russian diesel is to be lifted.

And the reason left Zelensky grinding his gold-capped molars:

Trump Declares Ukraine Energy Ceasefire; Zelensky Says “News To Me” As Russia Attacks Powerplant
by Tyler Durden

And then on Sunday morning, again to the great surprise of Western allies, Trump announced on social media a new energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia – except that Kiev quickly said it knows of no such ceasesfire.

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!”

Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The last such energy ceasefire attempt announced by Trump was in mid-September, but it didn’t hold and in fact collapsed rather quickly after. In reality it never so much as got off the ground, before both sides were back at hammering each other’s oil, gas, and electricity infrastructure.

Very soon after this latest announcement by Trump on Sunday, Zelensky told US media that it was “news to me”. He said to Axios while reacting to Trump’s Truth Social post: “If President Trump negotiated it with Putin, please tell us when the ceasefire begins. We are ready, and we will accept it.”

And yet the dilemma for Kiev remains: it is vehemently against a US-Russian diesel deal, but any pause in energy attacks would serve to protect that very deal.

This unusual and very public back-and-forth is happening as the Ukrainian capital has been plunged into darkness:

Zelensky has in follow-up said on X that he was “awaiting details from the American side” – and has also complained that Russia has continued hitting Ukraine’s energy sites on Sunday. According to more of the latest from Zelensky:

Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of striking a power plant in Kyiv after Donald Trump announced an “energy ceasefire”.

The Ukrainian president says in a post on X that he has briefed Trump on the “brutal Russian strikes that continue unabated”. He says earlier “the Russians struck a power plant in Kyiv with a ‘shahed’ drone, and many districts experienced power outages”.

“Later, there were strikes on energy facilities in the Kharkiv region. And all of this happened AFTER the President of the United States made his statement about an energy ceasefire,” he says.

His fresh video address:

Meanwhile Washington still has considerable leverage over Ukraine, putting Zelensky between a rock and a hard place. The Trump White House can always block weapons and funds – something it has previously threatened to do but never pulled the trigger on.

Fresh reporting in Financial Times is already putting specifics on the table to be potentially revoked:

Exclusive: Iran security chief says powers greater than US tried to conquer Iran but ended in ‘dustbin of history’

…..“We will not return to the diplomatic approach of the past,” he said, referring to three rounds of negotiations that he said had ended with the United States abandoning talks and attacking Iran.
“Of course, we have never abandoned diplomacy, and we never will. But we have changed our approach,” he added…..
….“Our control over the Strait of Hormuz represents enormous national wealth and a major national asset,” he said, adding that Iran’s interests extended beyond collecting fees from passing ships. He said Iran could derive economic benefits from charging vessels for security, insurance and environmental protection, but maintained that the strait’s wider strategic value lay in ensuring security in the region.

“From now on, therefore, we will maintain control over the management of the Strait of Hormuz. It will remain under our management to ensure peace and security in the region. We will not back down on this issue,” he said…..

…The senior official warned that, if Washington launched another act of aggression against Iran, American assets could be targeted, including key data systems and artificial intelligence sensors. Rezaei further warned that US-linked technology infrastructure worth more than $2 trillion in the region could be targeted if Iran came under attack again…..
