    Simple. Go back in time a dozen centuries and then come back forward making fewer mistakes.
    Alternately, one could genocide half a dozen billion people and continue forward making the same mistakes all over again.
    A third possibility, going forward from the way things actually are at the present moment (otherwise known as reality), is to learn from past mistakes such as atheistic materialism and its various forms of authoritarian monarchy and not make them quite so badly as the present and future unfold.

    Incidentally, which of my completely unfounded assertions do you object to? Was it that reality exists or that “overshoot” is a crock of propagandistic bull shit invented and asserted by moronic eugenicists?

    Just because an academic authority (such as Catton) coins a clever (and fallaciously misleading) buzzword like “overshoot” does not magically set aside the rules of logic, nor does it make him right in his conclusions. Appeal to authority is not merely a fallacy of logic, it is avoidance of the issue (which will thereby continue to be unsolved). Most importantly, it does not justify democidal “solutions” to what is essentially the WRONG PROBLEM.

    The problem is not too much life. The problem is too little knowledge, wisdom and competence.

    Since the objective of life is more life how could there possibly be too much life? To even start down that road of mis-reasoning guarantees two things: failure and monstrous crimes against life.

    The solution to suffering, bad life choices, ignorance and incompetence is NOT euthanasia in any of its cleverly (or lazily) promoted forms. The solution is to relieve suffering, make wiser choices, and to learn and practice competent action. This does not , of course, guarantee success, but to do otherwise certainly DOES guarantee failure.

    Perhaps (for example) packing incompetent and unlearned people into megacities and supporting them by institutionalized lying, cheating, stealing and killing as a “Ideal Civilization Model” was not such a good solution. Maybe learning how to plant potatoes would work a little better.

    “Direct observation of all current data” . . . . . . is a self contradictory muddle of nonsense. There is ‘data’, as an abstracted representation of what has been (hopefully) directly observed, and there is ‘direct observation’, which can (with skill) be represented abstractly in the form of data. In other words, they are DISTINCTLY different things.

    It is common for spectacularly false conclusions to be drawn from equally spectacular vast heaps of data simply because the data was garbage. . . . which a modest amount of direct observation might have revealed if the student had extracted their nose from “the data” and pointed it at the real world for a little direct observation.

    The entire “overshoot” notion of there being too many people can be shot to smithereens in no time by a ten year old kid sitting in an airliner over any continent in the world and just looking down.

    “. . . you would have to be living in a Hopey hole not to be aware that we are in Overshoot…”

    Let’s get the kill shot over and done with first. “Overshoot” is not a science word. It’s a buzzword, and a bad one at that. Using it in relation to populations is simply logical fallacy, on it’s face, because to accept the word is to prejudicially accept the unproved notion that there can be “too many” individuals in a population. Absurd. The equivalent mistake in astronomy (for example) would be to say that there are too many stars in a galaxy. Silliness. The logical fallacy is called “begging the question”. Go look it up.

    Secondly, who gave ANYONE the authority to arbitrarily determine a “just right” size for the human population? Quite aside from the fact that such a determination is both impossible and unknowable, there is that other little thing about NO ONE has (nor could they be given) the right to impose arbitrary “solutions” based on that arbitrary number. Talk about over-the-top hubris. Don’t play God! I mean, give me a break! Just stop it. That sort of idiocy on TAE just embarrasses me.

    @aspnaz You contemplated, “They must have some scam up their sleeves but I cannot see where it is going. Liars lie, MSM always lie, something is up.”

    For the answer to this question we must turn to the world famous expert on the Art of Lying, Mark Twain. He advised that the thing to do when caught red handed in the commission of a crime was to immediately confess to a lesser crime.

    The current cast of politicians and hacks are such incompetent liars that I almost yearn for the days of Tony Blair and Colin Powel, or even (dare I say it?) the inimitable Walter Cronkite. At least then we had the ephemeral serenity of believing , if only for a fleeting moment, that we knew what the fuck was going on.

    I just noticed that a county by county level map of the 2022 election is pretty much a dead match with a county by county level map of the reported Bird Flu outbreaks that resulted in 50 million chickens being euthanized . . . based on PCR testing rather than birds actual dying from the disease. Basically, Blue counties were VERY unhealthy for chickens, while Red counties were disease free.

    That’s remarkable. It had never occurred to me that chickens were Conservatives.

    One of the fringe benefits of having a world human population of over 8 BILLION ( as in eight THOUSAND millions) is that it enables fast, and highly revelatory thumbnail probability calculations.

    For example: after 3 years of mass murder perpetrated upon those 8 billion people, not even one person of that targeted population has opted to just get up off of their ass and go assassinate ANY of the known perpetrators as a justifiable act of self defense, or revenge or general disgruntlement. Bear in mind that this is in a world where wearing the wrong shoes in the wrong neighborhood can getcha killed six different ways from Sunday (happens every day).

    I find that to be rather improbable, statistically speaking, and yet there it is. The probability APPEARS to be roughly 0.00000000000 % . Plain fact.

    I wonder how that could even be, which in turn makes me wonder if there is some other, obscured, factor at play that I’m not seeing.

    One possibility is that everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) subliminally ( instinctually ? spiritually ?) knows that it would be a monumental mistake, because it would put us on the same path of oblivious self destruction that the bad guys are on. We know it would be our ruin.

    Maybe it is something along these lines: Do you suppose that Gates and Rothschild and the good folks at Pfizer consider themselves to be “winners” in the Great Game of getting ahead ? Of course they do. Otherwise they would change their lowdown ways and stop lying, cheating, stealing and killing with such wild abandon for fun and profit.

    Alright then (given the reasonable assumption that they think they’re the smart ones and consider themselves to be very best of people) ask yourself whether ANY ordinary person even remotely close to being in their right mind would actually want to BE any of those guys like Bill Gates or Nathan Rothschild or Anthony Fauci. I don’t mean just having their wealth, status and power. I mean literally BEING them.

    I don’t think any of the even semi-sane would actually want to swap places and BE any of those obliviously evil characters. The answer would not just be “no”, it would be “HELL no!”

    So even though Gates and Rothschild think they are winning, they are in fact LOSING very very badly. They’re losing so bad that not even the most deplorable of the most downtrodden poorest of the poor would swap places with ’em if the swap required actually BEING Rothschild, or Gates, etc.

    Basically, people know not to behave like that because it’s a one-way ticket to the same hell those monstrous morons are in. The inescapable hell of being being 100% dead wrong, and yet egotistically delighted with being the best and smartest guy in the room.

    And they got no way out until they take their own medicine, or meet their maker . . . . or both.

    Consider the irreducible paradox of government. It’s function and purpose is to force people who want to do something to NOT do it . . . ostensibly for the sake of the welfare of those who want the opposite. Or governance can be the reverse, that is, it can be the effort to force people to DO things that they don’t want to do, which is also ostensibly for the sake of other people (who in this case would consist of those who DO want the thing done.)

    I either case, and utterly regardless of the form or nature of the government itself, there is going to be a cohort of persons who are expected to passively allow their own free will to be trampled.

    Sure looks like a recipe for warfare to me.

    Especially when the “you must” and “you must not” governmental mandates have to do with the quintessentially vital activities necessary to life itself.

    Right now we have a formally “official” government of liars thieves and murderers who are mandating that we, the presumed subjects of that government, submit to death so that liars, thieves and murders can continue living large and prospering.

    I other words, it APPEARS to be a paradox in which good must submit to evil, truth must submit to falsehood, and justice must submit to travesty.

    That is an impossibility, isn’t it?

    Government isn’t actually a paradox, then, is it?

    It’s more like a trick, a con, or massive LIE . . . in service to liars, thieves and murderers. And the lie is that the personal sovereign choice between good and evil (right and wrong) can EVER be abdicated by yielding it to others. It cannot be. YOUR choice cannot be handed off. That sovereignty is God’s gift to you. That is the truth.

    In other words, there are no paradoxes in this universe. When something LOOKS like a paradox it is merely a lie in truth’s clothing.

    I read, enjoy and deeply appreciate the massively thorough “Line Item” approach of Dr. D, Red, and others in their heroically resolute work of refuting and ridiculing the fire hose of lies streaming at us from every orifice of the main stream media, PsyOp propaganda, Government outlets, and Big Tech social media. It really does help in the prevention and cure of death-by-bullshit with which those institutions are attempting to annihilate us.

    But have you noticed the trend? The line-item list of refutations are getting longer and longer and longer. It’s certainly not the commentator’s fault. It’s that the stream of false and intentionally misleading and evasive bullshit from officialdom is gaining volume and intensity as the bad guys attempt to counter the increasingly visible inevitability of their own defeat.

    That trend will not subside because as more lies are brought to light the freshly exposed facts will in turn dislodge new lies in a “nuclear chain reaction” kind of exponential increase that in its explosive nature is itself disconcerting to anyone attempting to keep up. Even the most prodigiously gifted intellects will eventually NOT be able to keep up with it. The word “overwhelming” comes to mind.

    Don’t despair, and don’t quit. Hang in there no matter what and you will discover that as the apparent chaos crashes around you like Monster Wave storm surf that you will have learned how to ride the big stuff, a vital skill in this competitive stage of spiritual progress.

    Stick with it. We’re almost there.

    I think that God and religion are too often erroneously conflated. Not the same things. One of them is the creator of the Universe and the other is a big complicated basket of human endeavor within that Universe, in forms, languages and translations far too numerous to count. The best two thing one can say about religion is that it’s an attempt to connect with God, and that it’s the thought that counts

    @DrD you lamented, “It is unfathomable how detached we have become from basic reality, and how deep into abstractions we are lost. I guess it’s a death sentence . . . ”

    I share your angst, but in reality (and I use that particular word very advisably) it is completely and easily fathomable.

    People detach from reality when they choose to, literally, detach themselves from what is real and true and instead choose an alternative attachment to something that is NOT reality. To lies, or fantasy, or hate, or materialism for examples.

    Reality is pretty hard to miss. There it is, and be careful, because hot stoves and sharp edges can hurt incautious fingers. So far so good. Then, since reality does exist, let’s move on to the question of how best to operate within that reality. A sane and logical first step in such operation would be to conclude that things which are the same as reality are true (and are thus workable) and that things which are NOT the same as reality are thereby untrue, and thus NOT workable. Indeed, such error is certain to fail when engaging with reality. No exceptions.

    Those who operate in the belief that reality itself (the Universe Entire) was caused by material energy is pretty damned detached from reality, because that belief is about as opposite to (different from) reality as it’s possible to get. It’s false. Transparently and obviously false. It is, in other words, “detached from reality,” and the behaviors which derive from such idiocy can be expected to be about as crazy as crazy can get.

    Like the idea that for mankind to survive it is necessary to kill as many humans as possible and “trans” the survivors into various types of non-humans, all enslaved to a soulless “artificial intelligence” mechanism bereft of free will of any kind.

    Yep. That’s who’s crazy. Maybe not as humorously entertaining as the reality-detached girl who expects milk from transgendered “cows”, but still the same kind of crazy.

    Those who know there is God are not the quaint (humor their harmless delusion) lunatics. It’s the other way around. The materialists are the ones detached from reality. The implications of these REAL fact could hardly be bigger. They are not inconsequential. They are revolutionary.

    @jb-hb

    Incorporated Business, Government and Central Banking have merged into a single coordinated Institutional Structure (as yet unnamed, but I call them The Cabal). There are many departments and echelons within that One World Institution , but only ONE character trait that is a make/break absolute requirement for inclusion: members must be willing to do knowingly bad and stupid things to other people in exchange for leisure (aka irresponsible lazy incompetence) , money & power. To do such things is pretty damned stupid because it is always and only suicidal. In that sense one could say that the PRODUCT of the Cabal is stupidity, so that’s what they pay for and it’s little wonder that the ones who do stupidity the best are the ones who get paid the most.

    Is that crazy? Well, yes it is. That’s what I (and many many others) have been trying to get across to the broader populace. The world is, indeed and in fact, is being run by a highly organized Cabal of literally insane persons. Rooting them out is not impossible, but it requires acknowledgement that such a group actually does exist. This realization comes in stages and layers and thus takes a while.

    There are many highly educated and intelligent people of genuine talent who have still not arrived at that level of awareness, but more arrive every day and the number is growing exponentially.

    I bet my bottom dollar (please forgive the deliberate sarcastic ironicism) that we are only days, weeks, and months away from the stage at which the majority of people will recognize it as an explosion.

    All we gotta now do is keep on truckin’.

    The Grand Unified Theory of the FTX is a pretty good thumbnail sketch except that the geographic scale and time scale are erroneously compressed (probably because of bad guys obscuring the historical record plus extremely long term propaganda and general mind fuckery to keep people from thinking straight.) If they swapped around a few proper nouns, expanded the territory to global, and changed years/decades to centuries/millennia then they would be much closer to the actual mark. Still, and in all, it’s good stuff insofar as FTX is a microcosm, a sort of Fractal unitary piece of a much large but holographically identical puzzle.

    What the hell is going on with all of these “Lost” ballots/votes that get “Found” after election day?

    If the ballot/vote “chain of custody” is intact then it is literally impossible for any of them to be lost. And if they are “Found” it proves beyond challenge that the chain of custody has been compromised for those “found” items. Can’t find something if it ain’t lost and it ain’t lost of you know where it is (i.e. an INTACT chain of custody].

    So, in that case, how does anyone know if the “found” vote/ballot is legitimate when there was a period of time when no one knew where . . . or even IF or THAT . . . it was?

    Talk about corruption In Plain Sight. That one takes the cake . . . . and the election too, it seems.

    @JohnDay About the Twitterized Trump petition being a bot trap

    There are technical tools for identifying bots, providing that those tools are directed toward and are parsing a data stream that is rich enough in targets to make it worth the resources spent in the process. Responses (both pro Trump and anti) as to whether or not Donald Trump should or should not be allowed freedom of speech on a global platform like Twitter should be a bot-rich data stream indeed.

    I wonder what the ratio is between cops and robbers [ nota bene, “dirty cops” are on the robber side of the ledger ] and what’s going to happen when the number of newly exposed robbers (which is rising exponentially as we speak) outstrips the number of active cops by a factor that exceeds our powers of comprehension.

    @ThatBloke you asked, “What can it all mean?”

    It could mean that the short guys need more help to win fights, but we all know from lived experience that that just ain’t the case. David was small. Or it could mean that smallish folk are more pugnacious in compensation for their size, but that’s demonstrably untrue as well. For example Mahatma Gandhi, or James Madison. Finally it might mean nothing at all, which looks like the historical winner.

    There is a fatal flaw in the strategy of “divide and conquer” that our enemy is so fond of, and that flaw gets them every time.

    The flaw is this: The shattered fragments eventually learn that although there are tantalizingly effective benefits to the Power of the Collective, survival ultimately depends upon the strength of each of them as individuals and their PERSONAL willingness to go the distance (to die, or even to kill if necessary) in defense of what they hold dear.

    Having learned that lesson through loss and adversity, when those individuals eventually turn their might against the “Power of the Collective” that illusory edifice of lies turns to ash and is wept away by the winds of time.

    And what is it that eventually succeeds in binding these heretofore isolated individuals into a cohesive whole that is not itself a tyrannical collective of corrupted power?

    It is the sense of nation or tribe. It is the gut level, unfakeable knowledge that one is a part of a single people bound by ties of common purpose, values, interests and love. Yes, I said it out loud. It is love. It is that indescribably noble and redeeming impulse at the core of your being that places your loved one above your self. It is the willingness to provide, to suffer, to die, or even to kill so that one’s loved one can survive and succeed.

    So, is there a nation called America? I think that there is, but it is a very very young nation and has not yet been tested, until now. Is our sense of being one people strong enough to withstand the grave injury of having been conquered by truly evil tyrants? Can we evict those scum, restore our country as a respectable sovereign country, and share the world with other true nations ?

    We shall see.

    Cinema may well have been “designed by creative artistry and entrepreneurialism experimenting to see what sells the most tickets. . . ” But Hollywood certainly wasn’t. Hollywood is the construct of fake-Jewish Kazarian Mafia, US Defense Department, CIA and the usual covert coven of craven cabalistic collaborators, and they most certainly DID “design the doors ” (not to mention controlling what goes on behind them). I’ve got a billionaire big shot ex-relative in tinsel town, who was and is a straight up useful idiot Mossad gigolo, “A-List” Democrat donor, and all-around asshole.

    And like the rest of its theatrical industry cousins quaintly misnomered as “Main Stream Media” Hollywood has operated at a net loss of billions every year for many many years (like since 1941) . . . . but it’s a bargain at that price considering the mind boggling (literally) quantity of propaganda and society wrecking psychological warfare effluvium that it pumps into the minds of a mostly unsuspecting public. In the business of commercialized evil Hollywood has plenty of competition, but is holding its own because their money ain’t coming from ticket sales. Three guesses where it does come from.

    Try freeloading on the contributions of others in a hunter-gatherer society and see how long you last before that society leaves you to your own devices. It’s a fast track to winding up skinny and alone.

    I suppose that the validity of my definition could be interpreted to depend on the size of the cohort included within the circle of “the common good / common wealth”, but the world is literally littered with the remains of societies who broke that rule, became corrupted, and vanished so thoroughly it takes teams of archeologists and paleo anthropologists to even guess who they were or how they managed to do themselves in.

    One of you good engineers or money wonks out there please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Doesn’t Bitcoin (or ANY digital store of value) essentially reside on computers which in turn depend on the continued operation of the World Wide Web of networked computers, which in turn depend upon the continued generation of really BIG quantities of carefully directed flows of electricity?

    So what happens if there is a serious interruption or capture of the network or sources of electric power generation? Even if the interruption was relatively brief would it not result in quadrillions of money units instantly vanishing, going away to wherever errant electrons go when the lights flicker out?

    Earlier I posted a comment that, upon further reflection was more like HALF of a comment, so I’m ponying up the other half. Please excuse the hangfire and re-reading.

    Endemic corruption is like endemic disease. It’s not special anymore. And because it is not especially remarkable anymore it becomes “just one of those things” , and disappears into the swirling mudpie slush we call “Normal”. It’s not a “nice” thing to exist, of course, but it is “just one of those things” that exists despite our personal preference that it not. So what becomes of that corruption in the minds of the people who live under it?

    Poof! Gone! We stop seeing it. We stop seeing corruption for what it simply is. And what it IS is totally unacceptable under any circumstances. Corruption, by definition, is that which is deemed by the people to be totally unacceptable under any circumstances. That’s what a law or moral code clearly expresses within it’s own statement of law. But wait! If people are ACCEPTING the “unacceptable” then that means that it wasn’t REALLY unacceptable at all in the first place! Something can only be one or the other. It’s either acceptable or it ain’t.

    Yet that’s the way it is with central banking and government (of every and all kinds), who are thoroughly and completely corrupt in every way. They control and rule the world. To control both the medium of exchange and the governing apparatus of a society is to control that society. Period. Full stop. End of sentence. Mic drop. No further explanation is necessary for any except the most irremediably stupid or naive.

    When you get to cut the cake AND be the one who decides who gets the pieces, then that cake is YOURS, bro.

    So it is with central banking and government, who are joined in their mutual interests and who are in full collusion AGAINST the people to whom they are CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to serve.

    But then again, it is endemic, isn’t it?

    So I suppose this all leads to the rather pivotal question of what exactly IS corruption anyway? That’s surprisingly easy. Corruption is any act, or arrangement of actions, by one or more people which attempts to extract from the common good /common wealth MORE than they contributed to the common good / common wealth.

    Remarkably, voluntarily giving MORE than one takes out never becomes an issue. Surplus can either advance the society, or be wasted back into entropy or lay around cluttering the place up until someone puts it to use. When we voluntarily give more than we get it’s not a problem. In fact, we usually feel proud of ourselves for it.

    But attempting to take out MORE than was put in and the consequences are grisly. Basically, that item which was taken had to come from somewhere, and the somewhere that it came from was thereby robbed. Sufficient amounts of robbery can be fatal, and often are. In all sane societies robbery is unacceptable. So is murder.

    Perpetrators of this robbery (whether merely attempted or actually consummated, the results are much the same) are trapped by their own misguided delight in the belief that they are “winning” by taking all of the stuff that other people have made. They know exactly what they’re doing. Indeed, they literally measure their success by the quantity of what they steal, and they believe that anyone not wise to that grim “fact of life” is a fool who deserves to lose whatever is stolen from them.

    I reckon that evil LIKES being evil, and the stature it gains them, because all that loot proves to their crippled minds the superiority of lies and cheating over the truth and justice. Can’t get much crazier than that.

    Anyway, my point is that the “synthetic archetype” of such personalities enjoys telling victims what is being done to them and what worse things will come next, because such brazen effrontery displays (once again) the impregnable power and overall general superiority of evil over good (to their fatally short-circuited algorithmic way of thinking).

    They believe their victims are trapped and helpless, and they delight in knowing that the victim knows it, too. By the perpetrator’s twisted logic this injustice proves their point, and they crave that reassurance so compulsively that they require nearly constant reminder.

    “They” (the synthetic archetype mentioned earlier) believe ultimate power is within reach and will soon be in their grasp. That self-deluding feedback loop is almost impossible to interrupt, until the UNIVERSE does it for them by demonstrating that the laws of Universe (i.e. Truths) are absolute, including the one that truth works better than lies in navigating through the Universe.

    Lies are an inescapable dead end because they are, by both fact and definition, that which is NOT aligned with reality, and will thus always lose any contest against the reality of what actually IS.

    That wall is where this tragicomedy must and always ends. That which is IS and that which is not, is NOT. Those who try to take more than they give are simply, tragically, wrong. But they won’t believe it until reality teaches them the lesson.

    Endemic corruption is like endemic disease. It’s not special anymore. And because it is not esspecially remarkable anymore it becomes “just one of those things” , and disappears into the swirling mudpie slush we call “Normal”. It’s not a “nice” thing to exist, of course, but it is “just one of those things” that exists despite our personal preference that it not. So what becomes of that corruption in the minds of the people who live under it?

    Poof! Gone! We stop seeing it. We stop seeing corruption for what it simply is. And what it IS is totally unacceptable under any circumstances. Corruption, by definition, is that which is deemed by the people to be totally unacceptable under any circumstances. That’s what a law or moral code clearly expresses within it’s own statement of law. But wait! If people are ACCEPTING the “unacceptable” then that means that it wasn’t REALLY unacceptable at all in the first place! Something can only be one or the other. It’s either acceptable or it ain’t.

    Yet that’s the way it is with central banking and government (of every and all kinds), who are thoroughly and completely corrupt in every way. They control and rule the world. To control both the medium of exchange and the governing apparatus of a society is to control that society. Period. Full stop. End of sentence. Mic drop. No further explanation is necessary for any except the most irremediably stupid or naive.

    When you get to cut the cake AND be the one who decides who gets the pieces, then that cake is YOURS, bro.

    So it is with central banking and government, who are joined in their mutual interests and who are in full collusion AGAINST the people to whom they are CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to serve.

    But then again, it is endemic, isn’t it?

    People are being compelled to know what they already knew but don’t want to know.

    Always keep in mind that the so-called “foreign aid” 100 $Billion to Ukraine was actually 10 $Billion to Ukraine’s mob and 90 $Billion to our own Military Industrial complex (which is more far-flung and diverse in goods & services than you imagine). That money goes to places like Departments of Agriculture, Education and even Social Services, all of whom have 10 or 20 percent of their funding earmarked for “Defense” purposes. It’s really nothing more than a system of money funneling and has
    fuck-all to do with the Defense of anything other than the recipients personal wealth.

    But even that sort of hidden under the table carte blanche bribe pumping is not sufficient when one is tasked with sending exponentially increasing MORE money, faster, with each passing year. Eventually it drives them to transparently irremediable criminal scams like FTX and vaccines induced pandemics. Yet even those are soon not sufficient to feed the maw of exponential increase. Eventually the amount of fresh money that the pump demands hits infinity, the consequence of which suggests that even infinity has it’s limits.

    We are there. The financial endgame is now happening, so fast that I’m tempted to say “Don’t blink or you might miss it!” , except there ain’t NOBODY gonna miss the collapse over the next 6 or 8 weeks of everything that operationally depends on funny money.

    And don’t worry about missing the bottom, because the bottom is precisely zero for “pseudo dollars” which exist only as entries in accounting books/data bases. Paper and coin will last much longer, but who’s got any of those?

    God has not forsaken us. Quite the contrary. He is honoring his promise of our true sovereignty. Rather it is us who have chosen, of our own free will, to act in ways that are destructive (even willfully evil) which might very well kill us, and certainly do cause immeasurable pain and grief in any case. Because we are truly sovereign, and because we do have real and actual free will, we can choose to be wrong and because God has granted us true sovereignty He will let us do it.

    As God is the Creator and ultimate proprietor of the Universe, for that Universe to exist for us He must willingly experiences every single bit of every intolerable agony that we inflict upon ourselves and others. So if you’ve any doubt that God loves you, consider what He voluntarily endures in order for you to have life.

    @aspnaz “They don’t care about the people who want to keep living.”

    And so the key question becomes, “Why ?”

    I do not mean that facetiously or trivially. I mean it earnestly and sincerely. WHY do so many of our fellow citizens want to die at the hands of others? And WHY are so many of those others intent upon crushing the spirit of those who want to live?

    These are not unanswerable questions. They are merely unconfrontable in the starkly tragic error which must be confronted in order to answer them.

    The elite cabal ‘s primary error is no great mystery and no surprise at all. Their error , to put things as succinctly as possible, is that they are simply wrong. About everything, including the calculated outcome that robots (which they themselves have no slightest idea of how to build, repair or fuel) will provide the luxurious lifestyle they envisage for themselves once those dirty and deplorable useless eaters are dead. Picture a corpulent infant demanding provisions from on unseen slave , neither of which exist.

    The fools even believe that there are two Gods (of which they believe the lesser to be the greater, and so worship Lucifer). How stupid can one get? Two PRIME creators of the Universe?. No wonder the silly bastards think 2 + 2 = 5. They can’t tell the difference between 1 and 2.

    At any given moment (and this fact does go up or down from moment to moment, depending on many factors), at any given moment the point at which an individual stops resisting efforts to criminally harm them is the point at which they become either enslaved or dead.

    The general tendency for how this plays out in the real world is that if one stops resisting then the chances are better that one will be subjugated rather than immediately murdered or imprisoned. It’s not always the case, but the TENDENCY is that if one submits to force or threat then the perpetrator would prefer using your enslaved services to their own benefit, rather than simply rob and kill you on the spot.

    When a slave is worth more alive than they are worth dead (i.e. the cost/benefit calculation of keeping the slave alive) then that slave will probably be kept alive. But when the cost of keeping them gets too high, or if the slaves start causing serious trouble for the owner(s), then the owner(s) will dispose of them like a used condom.

    Once the decision is made then the decision has been made, and that decision will be carried out by the entire chain of command in lock step compliance (lest THEY become more trouble than they’re worth, and be added to the discarded heap in the mass grave.) If the the decision by the “owner/ruler class” is to reduce the population by 95%, then so be it. Compliance with that decision will be carried out. Those who resist will be either or enslaved or killed, largely dependent upon the point at which they stop resisting. Those who comply will usually be allowed to live for a while longer, and those who continue to resist will be either imprisoned or killed immediately.

    In a different world (which is not the one we are in) it might make sense to comply with the apparatus of business and government, especially if that business or government meant you no harm. Alas, that it is not the case. It is the case that the owner/ruler class (in large part) has decided to reduce its slave holdings by 95%.

    At what stage of criminal trespass upon body and soul will people stop resisting?
