Ugo Bardi has more useful perspective: The Age of Exterminations (III). Why you Should be Worried. Very Worried
The extermination of social subgroups is a relatively recent phenomenon in history but, unfortunately, it seems to have become more and more frequent in recent times. Often, as in the case of the witch-hunting age, extermination is the result of a perfectly rational attitude that develops in societies under heavy stress. When a social subgroup is relatively wealthy, can be identified, and can’t offer significant military resistance, there are good chances that its members will be exterminated and their assets confiscated. That was what happened to the people branded as “witches” in Europe during the 16th and 17th century in Europe. Another classic case was that of the Jews, a few centuries later.
At this point, considering that our society is surely under heavy stress, the question is: which subgroup could be the next target for extermination? I asked this question to the readers in a previous post of this series, but almost nobody could identify the right target. Now I think I can propose the answer:
The most likely target for the next extermination round are middle-class retirees.
Retirees satisfy all the requirements: They are identifiable, of course, they are old! They are often relatively wealthy and, more than that, they cost a lot of money in terms of health care. Finally, they can hardly put up serious military resistance. Exterminating the middle-class elders would be both easy and profitable.
Let’s make a few calculations. In the US, there are nowadays about 46 million retirees living on social security. The US spends about 7% of its GDP on pensions, that is, about 1.5 trillion dollars per year (about $30.000/person/year). That’s more than the about 1 trillion dollars that the US government spends for the military budget, bloated as it is.
Assuming that you could remove just 10% of the retirees, it would mean saving some 150 billion dollars per year. But, in practice, much more than that if you take into account the health care costs. For instance, summing nursing care facilities and home care for the elderly, we are talking of something close to 300 billion dollars per year, and that does not include hospitalization costs. The potential savings are truly huge: hundreds of billions of dollars. https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/10/the-age-of-exterminations-iii-you.html

Caitlin Johnstone, Israeli Snipers Routinely, Deliberately Shoot Palestinian Kids In The Head
..“I worked as a trauma surgeon in Gaza from March 25 to April 8. I’ve volunteered in Ukraine and Haiti, and I grew up in Flint, Mich. I’ve seen violence and worked in conflict zones. But of the many things that stood out about working in a hospital in Gaza, one got to me: Nearly every day I was there, I saw a new young child who had been shot in the head or the chest, virtually all of whom went on to die. Thirteen in total.
“At the time, I assumed this had to be the work of a particularly sadistic soldier located nearby. But after returning home, I met an emergency medicine physician who had worked in a different hospital in Gaza two months before me. ‘I couldn’t believe the number of kids I saw shot in the head,’ I told him. To my surprise, he responded: ‘Yeah, me, too. Every single day.’” https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israeli-snipers-routinely-deliberately

As Israel Extends Its Genocide Into the West Bank, It Targets and Kills Children
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 722 Palestinians, including at least 164 children, in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
In Jenin city, within the governorate, approximately 70 percent of the roads have been damaged or destroyed in the attacks, according to the city’s mayor, Nidal Obeidi. Electricity, internet and telephone lines were shut down. Water and sewage lines were cut, leaving about 80 percent of Jenin with no running water, including the main hospital.
“They are imposing conditions, materially and psychologically, that make people feel: Gaza is coming to you,” Shawan Jabarin, director of Al Haq, a human rights group based in the West Bank, reported to the Times. “There is a feeling among Palestinians across the West Bank that what is coming is very bad — that it will be a plan to kill and expel us.” https://scheerpost.com/2024/10/09/as-israel-extends-its-genocide-into-the-west-bank-it-targets-and-kills-children/

Last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that only $4 million had been sent directly to hurricane victims. That number has likely increased in the week since but it is still a pathetically paltry sum a full week after Hurricane Helene hit. Meanwhile, FEMA keeps touting its top-line number of $286 million, which has primarily been given out to well-connected aid organizations that filled out the organization’s “Vendor Profile Forum,” enabling it to engage in “business with FEMA” (their words) if approved. https://sputnikglobe.com/20241009/hes-just-not-that-into-you-1120491484.html

The leaked communications show that BCBS NC directed volunteers to avoid spontaneous aid efforts and only work with government-affiliated organizations like the Red Cross and VolunteerNC. This coordination deliberately restricted the speed and scope of the recovery, despite acknowledging internally that this would delay relief by four to six weeks. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/leaked-emails-prove-democrats-conspired-to-slow-down-hurricane-helene-response-in-north-carolina/

Western North Carolina’s mountain communities, including Asheville, Chimney Rock, and Black Mountain, have been devastated by Hurricane Helene’s flooding and landslides. Despite the extensive damage, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has decided not to provide aid to these areas, leaving residents without the crucial assistance they need to rebuild.

Tarheels Eject Carpetbaggers https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/tarheels-eject-carpetbaggers

With your leave I will present again some of the stories I posted yesterday, laying out Federal Government preparations to subdue the population of North Carolina (“Tarheels”) and kill some of them if it came to that, in order to carry out a land grab for critical mineral deposits of ultra-pure quartz, necessary for the highest density computer chips, and Lithium for batteries the DoD will be needing. There have been lots of stories of local relief efforts being blocked and sabotaged by federal personnel, but no actual relief being provided by any of them.

The US Military appears to get pre-justification to kill some crowds of Americans on US soil. Use of lethal force in a reasonably anticipated confrontation
What exactly qualifies as reasonable in a reasonably anticipated confrontation? DOD Directive 5240.01 effective September 27, 2024.
..Secretary of Defense Approval
(2) The decision to approve requests for these types of permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities are reserved to the Secretary of Defense:
(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support. https://jessica5b3.substack.com/p/use-of-lethal-force-in-a-reasonably

Kyle Young, ..Recently we saw all of that converging into a hurricane that Dane Wigington and others have pointed out was steered by Nexrad radar over the most lithium rich deposit in the US, Western North Carolina…
..Because the local economy may take many years to recover, those that remain will be hard pressed to make a living. Many will be forced to sell what’s left of their homes and farms for a tiny fraction of what they were worth before the flood. This will put ever more pressure on those that remain.
And who will be buying up all of these properties? That would be those who’ve been lurking in the shadows for years trying to buy-up homes and farms that sit on top of the vast lithium and quartz crystal deposits of this region…
..Albemarle’s maneuvering began in 2023 when they applied for a grant from the Department of Defense. Recently the DoD and DoE approved a total of $250 million in grants to Albemarle to gear up for Kings Mountain. Anthony Stasio MCEIP director, said this “… agreement with Albemarle demonstrates the DoD’s ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our warfighter, today and in the future,” … Why the worlds largest lithium mining company needs to be given $250 million of our taxpayer dollars to gear-up for Kings Mountain has not been explained. What can be explained is that this is just another example of the type of corporate socialism that’s rampant in the US…
..We know there are companies that specialize in weather modification. They work for whoever pays them. One of the largest weather modification companies in the world is Weather Modification Inc (how original). Right now I’m trying to determine if they had a contract over Western NC during Helene. I’m also trying to track some C130 flights above and below Milton as he was out over the gulf of Mexico. There is mounting evidence that Milton was heavily seeded with silver iodide while over the gulf. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/waging-weather-warfare-and-plunder

An individual who tried to drop off food and other supplies in the devastated mountain region of North Carolina using his private helicopter was arrested by the Biden regime for interfering with “a government operation.”
After the man landed his craft, authorities immediately cuffed him using the excuse that he was getting in the way of their own rescue efforts – except there were no rescue efforts actually taking place. “He landed and got arrested and [they] said he was interfering with a government operation, but there’s no operations going on,” explains the man in the video. https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-10-08-kamala-admin-arrests-good-samaritan-hurricane-helene.html

According to Fox News, budget experts warn that FEMA is now a slush fund for the Biden-Harris administration to use at will.
Meanwhile, $73 billion in unliquidated funds remain open, and there are 8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations. The money could be returned to help people battling for survival and disasters now. The IG report agrees that seven billion-plus dollars in unliquidated funds could potentially be returned to the Disaster Relief Fund. https://www.independentsentinel.com/600-missing-femas-a-slush-fund-mayorkas-has-8-billion/

​ USN Ret. Admiral Cem Gurdinez, Israel’s Air Defense and the Weakness of the U.S. Navy. “Damage Control Project” of Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces
​ In June 2023, the American Congress approved the naval target of 381 ships. In addition, it is aimed to have 397 ships by 2053. However, today, in order to complete the 381 ship target by 2030, a 20% budget increase is needed, which is not possible under today’s debt stock burden.
​ Today, the backbone of American naval power is nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), other than nuclear aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).
​ However, today, nearly 40% of submarines are under repair and the delays in repair are enormous. If aircraft carriers operate in waters close to the continent – for example, in the South or East China Sea – they are likely to be hit by hypersonic and ballistic missiles. In short, the US is unprepared for a major power conflict which is developing.
​ If a conflict with China were to break out tomorrow, the American Navy would have very little chance of winning because it is not ready. The logistical difficulties of building and sustaining American naval power in the short and medium terms are incredible. If the problem of replenishing existing weapons and ammunition stocks is added to this, the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent.
​ According to former American Undersecretary of the Navy Seth Cropsey, if the US does not increase the production of the weapons it will need in the Indo-Pacific, especially hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles and short-range anti-ship weapons, it will lose a war for Taiwan in weeks. In its current state, the US Navy cannot maintain its bases and allies in the Indo-Pacific Oceans and its transoceanic logistical support line.
​ The parameters of the US​SR-USA balance in the Cold War and today’s US-China balance are extremely different. The USSR could not defeat the US because the American Navy’s enormous size of 600 ships confined the Soviets to the continent and weakened them. China, on the other hand, is far more advanced at sea than the US naval power today. China has the advantage in terms of both its geographical location, naval power and number of anti-ship missiles. The conditions are more in its favor than ever to bring this to a dynamic conclusion. The US is weakening its power in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf because of Israel. China, on the other hand, will use every opportunity to protect and develop its own geopolitical interests, especially in Taiwan and the South China Sea, as long as the Israel-Iran crisis continues.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/iran-israel-tension-weakness-american-navy/5869826

​Ugo Bardi, The Age Of Exterminations (II) — How to Exterminate the Young
​ The power of propaganda is immense. It is so strong especially because people don’t realize that they are embedded in it and the things that propaganda makes them do look like the most natural and obvious ones. It was Baudelaire who said, “the devil’s best trick is to convince people that he does not exist.”
​ So, here is a story of a triumph of propaganda: how it convinced most Italians in 1914-15 that it was a good idea to go to war against their neighbors, the Austrians in one of the greatest follies of history, what our ancestors called, rightly, “The Great War.”
​ It all started when, in July 1914, a Serbian madman shot an Austrian Archduke. That caused the Great Powers of the time to attack each other in a sort of large-scale domino game. Austria attacked Serbia, Germany attacked France, Russia attacked Austria, and more.
​ And Italy? It is a story poorly known outside Italy, but interesting for many reasons. Italy at that time was a nation of peasants, its economy was weak, and its military power limited. Sometimes, it was called the “proletarian nation,” in contrast with the Northern “plutocracies,” Britain and others. Italy was poor, but secure inside its borders: protected by the sea and by the Alps. No need to go to war against anyone.​ https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/09/the-age-of-exterminations-ii-how-to.html

​ “Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations.

Ugo Bardi, The Age of Exterminations (I): Who are the Typical Victims?
If you think of the story of the witch hunts of the 16th-17th century in Europe, you may be under the impression that the typical witch was an old hag living in a hut at the margins of the village, alone with a black cat.
But no, that wasn’t the case. Maybe this kind of marginal people were occasionally killed for being witches, but they were not the usual victims. In reality, witch hunting had a strong monetary component and it was often carried out with a view on making a profit on the confiscation of the assets of the victims. They were not poor and destitute women but, rather, members of the growing mercantile class in Europe.
The profit-making facet of witch hunting has been often ignored by historians, but it is being reappraised and highlighted in recent times, for instance by Johannes Dillinger (2021) and by Shmakov and Petrov (2018). Both articles are highly suggested and provide a remarkable wealth of data about the financial mechanism that led to witch hunts: in short, there was no (or very little) witch hunting where the government didn’t allow the assets of the victims to be confiscated. https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/09/the-age-of-exterminations-who-will-be.html

Israel’s Genocide Day 367: Israel orders new evacuations in Gaza, expands bombing on Lebanon
The Israeli ground invasion of southern Lebanon continues to face stiff resistance along the border one week on, while the Israeli army has renewed its assault on northern Gaza, laying siege to Jabalia refugee camp for the sixth time since October 7. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/10/israels-genocide-day-367-israel-orders-new-evacuations-in-gaza-expands-bombing-on-lebanon/

Slaughter In Gaza And Lebanon As War With Iran Approaches
Israel appears to have begun its long-planned ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, with the IDF dropping bombs, issuing evacuation orders for multiple hospitals, attacking civilians with sniper drones, and besieging civilian populations in order to force tens of thousands of people to either move south or die. Israel has reportedly been dropping leaflets on the Jabalia refugee camp ordering people to leave, and then shooting anyone who tries to.
Since the seventh of October last year Israel has committed roughly 100 October sevenths in Gaza; scores of American medical workers who volunteered in the enclave signed an open letter to president Biden estimating the real death toll from Israel’s onslaught at over 118,000. Israel has also committed about two October sevenths in Lebanon during that time.

State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel told Drop Site News: “The suggestion that anyone at the State Department signed off in any way on attacks on humanitarian workers or convoys is absurd.

Iran earthquake sparks speculation of covert nuclear weapons test
The possibility that Iran carried out a nuclear test is being discussed at high levels in Tehran amid Israeli threats to bomb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear infrastructure
On 5 October 2024, a 4.5-magnitude seismic event occurred in Iran’s Semnan province, sparking speculation that Iran has tested a nuclear weapon for the first time.
Such a seismic event is typically the result of an earthquake, but speculation has arisen on social media suggesting the event was instead an underground nuclear test carried out by the Islamic Republic in response to Israeli threats to bomb Tehran’s nuclear energy and oil facilities.
According to Iranian sources speaking with The Cradle, the possibility that a nuclear test was indeed conducted is being discussed at high levels in Iran.
Syrian sources speaking with The Cradle in September predicted that Iran would seek to develop breakout nuclear weapons capability in response to Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. https://thecradle.co/articles/iran-earthquake-sparks-speculation-of-covert-nuclear-weapons-test

Ron Paul: American Neocons Get Their Iran War As Congress Sleeps
Over the weekend, the Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in Israel to “coordinate” with the Israeli military and plan a military strike against Iran. Think about that for a moment: one of the highest-ranking officers in the US military is planning a war in a foreign country against another foreign country which will be fueled by American weapons, American intelligence, and American tax dollars.
Did that foreign country – Iran – attack the United States or threaten Americans? No, it did not. What did Iran do to warrant a CENTCOM commander bringing the weight of the US military into play to plan a war – possibly WWIII? It retaliated against Israeli airstrikes including the assignation of a Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ron-paul-american-neocons-get-their-iran-war-congress-sleeps

Israel Mulling Attacks On Iran Energy Sites Despite Biden Objections
According to the latest from Axios: “Netanyahu refuses to approve Defense Minister Yoav Galant’s trip to Washington planned for tonight until a he gets a phone call with President Biden and until the Israeli cabinet approves the response to Iran’s missile attack”, according to a source with knowledge of the details.
The New York Times reported Monday based on Israeli officials that a significant counter attack is still coming, and it is expected to target Iranian military sites. The fresh report also lists as likely targets Iranian intelligence sites and officials’ offices or headquarters. President Biden has warned against striking Iran’s nuclear sites, and even days ago backed off the idea of hitting energy and oil facilities. Thus a ‘debate’ has still been raging internally as both sides are said to be coordinating the response. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-literally-bribing-israelis-us-taxpayer-funds-not-hit-iran-nuclear-sites

But a ceasefire threatens Netanyahu, and genocide is “God’s will”: Jeffrey D. Sachs: Here’s the Truth — It Is the Lack of a Two-State Solution That Most Threatens Israel Israel rejects the two-state solution because it claims that a sovereign state of Palestine would profoundly endanger Israel’s national security. In fact, it is the lack of a two-state solution that endangers Israel. Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, its continuing apartheid rule over millions of Palestinians, and its extreme violence to defend that rule, all put Israel’s survival in jeopardy, as Israel faces dire threats from global diplomatic isolation and the ongoing war, including the war’s massive economic, social, and financial costs…
..At the United Nations on September 27th, Netanyahu accused the Palestinian Authority, and specifically President Mahmoud Abbas, of waging “unremitting diplomatic warfare against Israel’s right to exist and against Israel’s right to defend itself.”
After Netanyahu’s speech, Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, standing beside Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa replied to Netanyahu in a press conference:
“All of us in the Arab world here, want a peace in which Israel lives in peace and security, accepted, normalized with all Arab countries in the context of ending the occupation, withdrawing from Arab territory, allowing for the emergence of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
Minister Safadi was speaking on behalf of the 57 members of the Muslim-Arab committee, who are all willing “to guarantee Israel’s security” in the context of a two-state solution. Minister Safadi, alongside the Palestinian Prime Minister, articulated the region’s peace proposal, an alternative to Netanyahu’s endless wars. https://scheerpost.com/2024/10/07/jeffrey-d-sachs-heres-the-truth-it-is-the-lack-of-a-two-state-solution-that-most-threatens-israel/

A different chopper, even bigger: Video: Nat’l Guard helicopter destroys hurricane relief team’s gear, injures 3: Report
A disaster recovery team director recently claimed that a National Guard Chinook helicopter flew “way too low” to the ground near the team’s project in North Carolina, reportedly resulting in 3 employees being hospitalized and over $100,000 in damages. The report comes as the Biden-Harris administration is facing criticism over its response to Hurricane Helene.
In a now-deleted post on LinkedIn, Kory Roger Kappes, director of Large Loss – SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, said, “Welp… I’ve debated if I should share this or not. But Friday our team and man-camp took a huge hit. A National Guard chinook helicopter was landing next to our project, like the other 100 helicopters we’ve seen this week, and they decided to ‘buzz the tower’, if you will. Coming in way too low and destroying all of our tents, awnings, our lunch, and damaging multiple trucks, trailers, campers, and much more.”
Kappes claimed that the disaster recovery team had to send three of its employees to the hospital and that the team’s campers and gear sustained over $100,000 in damages.
“When confronting the Senior Officer in charge, we were basically told ‘oops, our bad, and see ya,’” Kappes wrote. “I asked for names and was told to kick rocks. All I had was a tail number from the aircraft.”
“Thankfully, my father whom is retired military, knew who to call immediately. Within 30 minutes the National Guard and the FAA had contacted me. And a public affairs officer stopped by our site later to apologize and give me the information to file a complaint and claim.” https://americanmilitarynews.com/2024/10/video-natl-guard-helicopter-destroys-hurricane-relief-teams-gear-injures-3-report/

FEMA Helicopters Block Greenville Airport Runway, Banning Aid Deliveries to Desperate Locals
One witness on the ground described the scene: “Yesterday, they flew in over 30 planes with supplies for those in need. But today, FEMA flew in 10 helicopters and blocked the runway here at Greenville Downtown. They’ve taken over, and it’s outrageous.”
Video footage from the airport shows several FEMA helicopters parked on the runway, with no sign of movement or efforts to assist in transporting relief. “The helicopters are just sitting there, doing nothing. Meanwhile, thousands of pounds of supplies are sitting untouched,” said another frustrated volunteer who had been working to organize private aid efforts.
FEMA has reportedly taken over one of the hangars as well, further limiting operations and the ability of private pilots to continue their missions. “They’re halting the aid deliveries when every minute counts,” the volunteer continued. “This is about saving lives, not bureaucracy.” https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/fema-helicopters-block-greenville-airport-runway-banning-aid-deliveries-to-desperate-locals/

Private Helicopters Deliver over 500,000 Pounds of Supplies to North Carolina

“There’s homes that are washed out, people have lost their lives. There’s a lot of people left with nothing, there’s a lot of displaced people. the big challenge now, moving forward, it’s not so much the rescue, it’s how do we find a place for the displaced families?” …

UK and US helped Ukraine plan ‘new Chernobyl’ – Russian intel chief
Kiev’s forces wanted to destroy the Kursk nuclear power plant, Sergey Naryshkin has said
British and American spies helped Ukraine develop plans for blowing up the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which would have plunged Europe into another radiation nightmare, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, has said.
Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia’s Kursk Region in August, but were stopped short of the nuclear plant in Kurchatov. Speaking at a meeting of intelligence and security principals of post-Soviet states in Astana last week, Naryshkin revealed the West’s disturbing plan for the facility.
“According to intelligence obtained by the SVR, the planned terrorist attack included taking and mining the Kursk NPP,” he said, according to remarks made public on Monday.
”Had they been able to carry it out, Europe would have faced an environmental and humanitarian disaster comparable to Chernobyl,” Naryshkin added. https://swentr.site/russia/605375-kursk-nuclear-threat-svr/

Blackhawk Rotor Wash Assault https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/blackhawk-rotor-wash-assault

I’m not alone in thinking that we are seeing vindictive attacks by an outgoing political elite, “The Imperial Court”, if I might apply that label. This frustrated rage might be typified by Hillary Clinton’s assertions that “propagandists” need to be jailed, and that if social media won’t “moderate content”, then “we lose total control” as well as John Kerry’s frank explanation that “the first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer disinformation out of existence.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hillary-clinton-desperation-warns-well-lose-total-control-if-social-media-stops-censoring
This imperial court is used to deciding to kill lots of people to achieve desired objectives, and they are feeling very strongly about the objective of staying in power. They stand to go to court and prison, and to have things done to them, which they do to others. This feels Existential to them… I don’t think they will leave any power-cards unplayed. They control the military, covert-operations, and a lot of instrumental players at all levels of state and local government.
Civil-war is a scenario we have heard a lot about in recent years, but there need to be two groups willing to kill each other on a massive scale, and most people really don’t seem to want to go there. People are uncertain of what is real, and don’t want to get manipulated to their own detriment again.
The Owners who the Imperial Court serves are also in a tight-spot, which is getting tighter as the financial Ponzi schemes they have been running in the US, Europe and western global-finance are all getting thin on assets to hypothecate for leveraged-loans. That process has to keep expanding or collapse, as described in “BOE Needs World War Three” https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/boe-needs-world-war-three
The Central banks, regional banks and Too Big To Fail Banks in various jurisdictions are all directly threatened by a loss of faith shooting through the derivatives markets and causing all assets to be grabbed by somebody-somewhere, who holds a derivative option on them when the music stops. This will not be possible to unwind, because the derivative bets exceed the physical assets in value by some large multiplier of hundreds, thousands or more. World War Three Emergency Powers are desired at the top of the hierarchy to sort out all the competing claims on physical wealth, or the power-hierarchy could collapse. I’m personally ok with that option, but facing physical reality before the crash would be able to reduce the severity of the reset through practical negotiations, after determining the overall facts of physical economy, and the many assertions of finance. “Losses to notional wealth” would have to be “assigned” within a society through political process, which would tend to make the small-holders more whole, as it is their life-support, and to enforce largest losses on the largest financial “players” in order to preserve societal cohesion and function.
It’s like the “monkey trap” where the monkey can’t decide to let go of the sweet rice in the coconut with a hole that lets a hand out, but not a fist, so the monkey gets killed.

Initial, short video: An unidentified Black Hawk military helicopter deliberately blasted a volunteer supply depot in North Carolina with rotor wash.
Rotor wash from Black Hawk helicopters is very well understood, and its destructive force has been repeatedly documented in multiple military actions abroad. In Mark Bowden’s book, Black Hawk Down, he relates how Black Hawks operating over Mogadishu frequently enraged the local residents by causing significant damage to their property, blasting debris into their eyes, sucking infants out of their mothers’ arms, and even ripping corrugated steel roofs off their homes. https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/blackhawk-helicopter-damages-supply

Update, longer video: Watch: Black Hawk Helo Wreaks Havoc On Civilian Hurricane Outpost
The pilots of what appears to be an unmarked Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter generated a massive downwash, also known as rotor wash, that sent tents and aid flying in all directions at a volunteer supply zone operated by private citizens in western North Carolina.
This action by the helicopter pilots is up for debate, with many on X believing this was an intentional act of sabotage by the federal government.
There are no official statements by local, state, or federal governments about the incident. Flight tracking data shows that the Black Hawk is military-owned.
That the Black Hawk approached and hovered directly over the volunteer supply zone certainly raises questions about the mission of this chopper; especially in light of the fact that many residents, officials, and private citizens point out the government’s apparent efforts to block or intercede in rescue efforts outside of FEMA’s control. https://www.zerohedge.com/military/did-govt-black-hawk-helio-sabotage-western-north-carolina-supply-zone

Abruzzo told the Miami press on October 10, 2023: “I am proud to show solidarity with the people of Israel and make Palm Beach County the first county in the nation to increase its investment in Israel Bonds following their declaration of war against Hamas.” Six months later, Abruzzo attacked critics of Israel in the Democratic party as it began the presidential election campaign. “Do I hear, especially from the far-left wing of my Democratic party, concerns about investing in Israel? Yes. Are the public leaders in D.C. of the Democratic Party condemning support for Israel? Yes. . . But I would say to them, we’re not going to be deterred. They need to back off and we need to stand united with our greatest ally, Israel.”

At the same time Abruzzo has claimed: “everything I do financially is, down to the penny, putting personal feelings aside,” Abruzzo said. “None of my purchases was done for a political purpose whatsoever. It’s the dollars and cents and getting the most we can for taxpayers. It’s all economic driven.”

​ The “Financial Coup” That Seized America
​ In his warning, ​Johnson detailed the typical pattern when countries collapse – when they come in desperation to the IMF.
First, a small group of powerful elites takes over policy. This is typically the financial elite, or large companies when the country has them.
​ Because these elites know they’ll be bailed out, they take excessive risks in good times. An iron law of finance is that risk pays reward. Meaning if you know you’re going to get bailed out, you’d be a moron not to take on too much risk.
​ If every hand at the poker game is all-in, inevitably you lose. You pass your losses to the taxpayer and start over with fresh chips, courtesy of the suckers.
​ Johnson lays out his numbers: from 1973 to 1985, America’s financial sector never earned more than 16% of the domestic corporate product. But by the early 2000s, it was earning 41%.
​ It turned a chunk of these profits into lobbying, repealing Depression-era prudential regulations separating banking and investment banking. In other words, freeing banks to gamble with taxpayer-guaranteed funds.
​ Then it lobbied to raise leverage – meaning how much the financial sector could borrow. So it could make large gambles with a small amount of money – again, all taxpayer-guaranteed.
​ The end result was the 2008 crisis, where banks made trillions in risky loans to people with no income, no assets, and no credit.​ https://brownstone.org/articles/the-financial-coup-that-seized-america/

​ French President Emmanuel Macron told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that arms supplies to Israel and the continuation of the conflict in Gaza, as well as its extension to Lebanon, were not in the interests of the Israelis, adding that “the time has come for a ceasefire,” the French leader’s office said.
​ At the same time, Macron assured Netanyahu of France’s continued support and solidarity, “respect and friendship” between the two countries, and “the desire to understand each other.”
​ The day before, Macron called for an end to arms supplies to Israel, which are used to conduct military operations in the Gaza Strip, calling such a step a priority for resolving the situation in the region.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20241006/macron-tells-netanyahu-war-in-gaza-lebanon-not-in-israels-interests-1120449939.html

​ The Financial Times also noted a change in Ukrainian officials’ approach to resolving the conflict and cited European diplomats who attended the UN General Assembly and said that Ukraine’s new Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha‎, discussed possible compromise options for resolving the conflict with Western counterparts during his recent trip to the US.​ They stressed that Sibiga was more pragmatic about the possibility of territorial concessions than his predecessor, Dmitry Kuleba.
​ “We’re talking more and more openly about how this ends and what Ukraine would have to give up in order to get a permanent peace deal. And that’s a major change from even six months ago, when this kind of talk was taboo,” one of the diplomats said, adding that six months ago, such conversations were taboo in Kiev.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/ukrainian-frontline-military-commanders-talks-russia/5869386

Amazingly, the Lebanese national carrier Middle East Airlines (MEA) has continued to fly passenger planes into and out of Beirut, even as Israel jets are dropping bombs.

They have refused to shut down the airport despite the threat that they face every single day as they have over the past two weeks.”
​ One Australian eyewitness says she was sitting on a plane which was readying to take off at the moment the major bombing near the airport unfolded. “While we were sitting in the airplane just before takeoff there was a lot of bombing, like around 500 meters next to the airport, and as we were about to take off we heard a lot of bombing,” she told Reuters.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/vital-airport-road-bombed-heaviest-night-israeli-strikes-beirut-date

​ New Israeli Assault on North Gaza Signals Start of Ethnic Cleansing Plan
​ Known as the “general’s plan” since it was drawn up by retired IDF generals, the plan would result in the complete ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from areas in Gaza north of the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land controlled by the Israeli military that separates Gaza City and other parts of the north from the south.
​ Itsik Zuaret, a reporter for Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, said the general’s plan was underway. “In the future, the entire northern area of the Gaza Strip will be cleansed according to the general’s plan,” he wrote on X.
​ The first step of the plan is to transfer the estimated 300,000 Palestinian civilians out of northern Gaza, then impose a full siege on the north to starve out remaining Hamas fighters and other Palestinians who remain. Northern Gaza would be declared a “closed military zone,” meaning anyone who remains will be targeted by the IDF.​ https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/06/new-israeli-assault-on-north-gaza-signals-start-of-ethnic-cleansing-plan/#gsc.tab=0

​ Rescuers: Why They Think State & Federal Gov’t Are Standing Down
​ Aerial Recovery is trying to find people still alive after Hurricane Helene. People are stranded with no water or food, and the government and the media are nowhere to be found.
​ Three North Carolina patriots and a team of 150 of Aerial Recovery have a helicopter and are rescuing countless people. They see the government as missing in action and possibly “demonic,” “stupid,” and “grossly negligent.” One said, half-joking, that they “must love death and destruction.

​ People are literally running for the hills, CEOs and politicians resigning en masse and vanishing from the public stage. It is instructive and fascinating too, that the trigger, the arrest of the P. Diddy, and the revelations of his crimes, has roiled the black community like nothing I’ve seen before. Rappers, producers and comics have been telling these stories for a decade, but were dismissed. Their lives, the culture of black America, has been polluted by the worship of gangsters, rap and drugs, heavily and relentlessly promoted by Hollywood. Chief among those promoters, Diddy.
​ Now Katt Williams, Tina Torres, Corey Feldman, Ally Carter, Jaguar Wright and others are shown to be right. And they claim to know much much more about the corruption, the dark abomination among elites like the Obamas, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber, Russell Simmons, Leonardo de Caprio, Princes Harry and Andrew, Tyler Perry, Will and Jada Smith, Kelly Osborne, Martha Stewart, Oprah, Rick Ross, Usher, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lebron James, TD Jakes. Clive Davis is identified as the puppet master.
​ The abuse lawsuits are mounting, including a class action, and yesterday the Buzbee Law Firm was appointed lead counsel for fifty individuals who were assaulted by Diddy and the sports, film and political stars who went to “freak-offs”. The J Lo marriage collapse was said to be triggered by her involvement – the FBI visited Ben Affleck, and Ashton Kutcher’s participation has led his wife, Mila Kunis, to move out of the family house.​..
..The Diddler (as he is called by his black accusers) drugs children so that they are pliable during the rituals, where according to witnesses, CEOs, sports and film stars, politicians and senior bureaucrats will rape many children, dismember a child or two, and eat them in a frenzied solicitation of Lucifer or Baal or Baphomet. I am sorry to publish this on a Sunday, but an acknowledgement of the evil that lives among us is a station on the spiritual path. The Sinaloa Cartel was still Catholic enough to be disgusted and in a vain attempt to out him, they lodged a suit against Diddy in New York. Underground tunnels are said to link Diddy’s neighborhood with the Playboy Mansion, once the seat of darkness, with the Getty, where some of the rituals are performed.​
​ To continue with the accusations of insiders: this group – the Kardashians, Oprah. Diddy, Jay Z. – etc are so rich because they traffic children across the U.S. The 320,000 that have crossed the border during the Biden/Harris administration are caught in their web. These men and women are members of the Brulee, the black cohort in the Illuminati. The use of children as sacrifice to the dark gods, for the purpose of wealth and fame and power, has been entrenched in Hollywood’s culture because it is a fast conduit. In fact, unless you are a member, prepare to be marginalized.
​ Satanism, once a hobby of the dark elites and a few repellent outsiders, is mainstream. And Diddy is a high priest. The “freak-off” tapes are used as blackmail, and are sold on the dark web; the last one, which included Rihanna, for $500,000, according to Jaguar Wright. There appears to be some kind of a glitch that the higher you climb on the ladder of fame, the more humiliating semi-public acts and rituals you must perform.​ https://elizabethnickson.substack.com/p/a-principality-falls-in-an-avalanche

Cliffhanger https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/cliffhanger

Professor Ugo Bardi, The Great World Rush Toward the Seneca Cliff, The Philosophy of “Take what you can, when you can”
​ Nafeez Ahmed pinpoints our problems perfectly well in his blog in a post titled, “War With Iran, the Planetary Phase Shift, and Global System Paralysis.” We are seeing a war for resources, a mad rush to maintain control over what little is left, at the cost of destroying everything and everyone on the path. Ahmed’s interpretation highlights our powerlessness…
​..How did we arrive at this? There was a time, after WWII, when the illusory abundance created by cheap fossil fuels made it possible to imagine a future in which peace could be attained by collaboration among the peoples of the world. That it was possible to think that the poor nations could rise to levels of prosperity comparable to those of the rich ones and that everyone would have been happy with that.
​ The first wrench thrown in the gears of this idea was “The Limits to Growth” report to the Club of Rome, published in 1972. It told us that prosperity wouldn’t last forever. That the world’s economy was going to go through a cycle of growth and decline. That it would start falling like a stone at some moment during the first few decades of the 21st century.
​ It wasn’t a prophecy of doom. It was a warning.​.. But now that we have entered an age of terrible scarcity of resources, this view has become obsolete.​..
The attempt to maintain the old ways at all costs is the perfect way to create the Seneca Collapse. It was not unavoidable, but it wasn’t avoided, and now it is the direction the world is taking.​ But this is not the end of the world. It is the end of a world.​..
​..In the case of Israel-Palestine, it’s clear that the conflict has been radicalised by competing claims over resources – especially land and fossil fuel reserves – yet perhaps the biggest factor reinforcing the tendency to extreme violence has been the role of local manifestations of the industrial OS, as refracted through established repressive political structures.
​ On a planetary scale the incumbent industrial OS – encompassing worldview, values, governance systems, culture, and so on – is a fundamental constraining factor in the human capacity to scale through the planetary phase shift and successfully reorganise. Transformation requires a fundamentally new OS empowering us to understand our predicament, transcend our dying industrial paradigm, and align our material and cultural systems with planetary life-support systems.​..

Surplus Energy Economics views improvements in quality and durability in adjusting to declining resource availability. Project 2050, Part Two, SOLUTIONS OF QUALITY
​ A huge change is taking place that seems, thus far, to be flying beneath the radar of most individuals, business leaders and decision-makers in government. This is the invalidation of ‘solutions of quantity’, and their replacement by solutions of quality.
​ As you may know, economic growth has long been a magic elixir, the “get out of g​oal free” card that has rescued individuals, households, businesses and entire economies from the consequences of their follies and misfortunes. When applied effectively, growth hasn’t just made up for past blunders, but has also enabled us to tackle serious social ills.​..
​..The current headline objective – “environmental sustainability” – is a qualitative one, but the insistence on tying the word “growth” to the word “sustainable” tethers it firmly to the quantitative.
​ In short, the default position of governments – and the consensus narrative which they endorse – is that of growing the economy by transitioning from climate-harming fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. As far as this official narrative is concerned, “sustainability” isn’t enough, but must be accompanied by “growth”.​
​ This inclusion of “growth” within commitments to sustainability is already faltering, for the good and sufficient reason that it isn’t feasible. Whatever their other merits, the characteristics of renewables (and, in particular, their energy-densities) are inferior to those of oil, natural gas and coal.​ The real purpose of the economy isn’t to move money around, but to deliver material products and services to society.​..
..This said, it’s difficult to be clear about what progress, if any, has been made towards qualitative thinking, or whether governments, and those who advise them, really understand that a long era of material (as opposed to cosmetic) economic growth has been drawing to a close…
..Putting any official imprimatur on such a concept would be guaranteed to cause chaos. Nobody in any position of authority is going to concede that the authors of The Limits to Growth (1972) “got it right after all”…
..It’s perfectly possible that at least some people in some governments understand that growth in the physical economy is inflecting into contraction, and know that we can’t ‘fix’ adverse material trends with monetary gimmickry. Neither can technology over-rule the laws of physics.
​ This gives governments an enormous headache. They can’t – for perfectly good reasons – tell the public that growth is going into reverse, but neither can they expect the public to remain unaware of this reality for much longer.​
​ The extent of this problem has been clarified by the recent extension of the SEEDS forecasting horizon from 2040 to 2050. Globally, material economic prosperity is likely to be about 21% smaller in 2050 than it is today, making the World’s average person 35% poorer. Meanwhile, the real costs of necessities can be expected to carry on rising.​..
..Though some economies are set to fare better than others, the common theme is a reduction in the ability to afford discretionary (non-essential) products and services…
..A full review of “solutions of quality” is beyond the compass of a single article, but some obvious examples can be cited. One such is a move towards greater circularity. We can’t expect to recycle all of the natural resources embedded in relinquished products and artefacts – not least because recycling itself requires energy – but we can do far better than we’ve done so far. The need here is to incorporate eventual recycling into product design from the outset, at the same time as improving the ability to repair as part of a broader extension of product lives.
​ This points towards a new business model in which intelligent physical engineering re-takes ground previously lost to “financial engineering”.​..
..These changes can be integrated within the new business model that’s required as the economy starts to contract…
​..The obvious counters to these problems are simplification (of products and processes) and delayering of organizations. Hard-pressed consumers are likely to develop a steadily rising preference for quality, repairability and longevity as their discretionary affordability decreases.
​ Beyond encouraging and enabling these positive trends, governments need to recognize that, whilst they’re unable to deliver improvements in the “standard of living” of the citizen, they can certainly improve his or her quality of life.
​ They can be more open, less censorious and less restrictive of the expression of opinions with which they disagree. They can engage in open debate about, for instance, re-prioritizing health-care and education systems, or tackling homelessness by not trying so hard to defer the inevitable deflation of the bubble in property prices.​ https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2024/10/03/290-project-2050-part-two/

​ Vested power-elites double-down with nuclear-powered AI: The World Is Not Enough, The Intelligent Age: Globalist Vampire Announces Billionaires’ Revolution
​ Globalist vampire Klaus Schwab crawled out of his coffin last week, to announce the theme of the next conclave of the World Economic Forum in January 2025.
Schwab begins by bragging that, “Almost a decade ago, in 2016, I coined the term the Fourth Industrial Revolution” and then he advises his minions that “Global cooperation is essential if we are to steer this revolution toward a positive outcome.”
What revolution you ask?
A billionaires’ revolution.​..
​..In order to have a successful billionaires’ revolution, Schwab slyly advises, “We need geopolitical intelligence to navigate the shifting landscapes of global power.” When he says “we,” he is not referring to you and me—he is referring to the Davos Club.​..
​..Most commentators within the alternative community have the idea that the world government will arise in the near future in the form of a restructured United Nations, but the truth is the world government already exists. The WEF do not want nations, they want regions. They are currently carving up the planet into regions, governed by the WEF who are the board of directors of a corporate-style technocracy…
..These mega-regions will be glued together through regional banks, and the coordinating hub of this new global governance system will be the BRICS, not the United Nations. The United Nations will be reduced in power and influence, and other regional groups, such as the G20, ASEAN, SCO and the WEF’s 100 strategic partners will grow in power and influence.
​ The Global South are hungry for equal footing on the world stage, after centuries of Western domination. The WEF is leveraging this hunger to manipulate the Global South leaders into jumping on the billionaires’ bandwagon, in the false hope that they will be given a greater slice of the global pie. In exchange they are forfeiting national sovereignty and sacrificing their own people—their own people whose heads were placed on the executioner’s block during the plandemic.
​ These regional players are brainwashed, bribed or blackmailed into cooperating with the WEF project​…
​..The New World Order that Schwab envisions requires middle managers, bureaucrats and administrators who are consummate yes-men and yes-women.​ Therefore, what we are witnessing on the world stage is a Cult of Mediocrity.​..
​..Schwab continues with his soothing snake oil, arguing that, “the Intelligent Age — driven by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing and blockchain — is transforming everything and changing it right now, in real time.”​ The theme of Davos 2025 is “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” referring to Artificial Intelligence, the cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution​… Klaus Schwab read from ChatGPT, “Envisioning a future propelled by the technologies of the 4IR we see a NEW DAWN of human civilization … where AI, robotics, the IoT, 3D-printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing become the foundations of our daily life.”​ https://www.worldnotenough.com/p/the-intelligent-age-globalist-vampire

​ Will Zoll, When Decades Happen – Part III , The Marxist Mind Garden
The French Revolution provided a vast array of data points. The events that led up to the revolution, as well as the insanity that followed, were immediately and meticulously analyzed. If the code to fomenting revolutions could be cracked, it would become one of the most potent weapons in an army’s arsenal. For Prussia, an army that sought to control nations, this weaponry would be imperative if they were going to continue their march toward European domination.​..
​..In the Prussian Origins of Marxism, we showed how Marx was heavily influenced by the Young Hegelians while studying at the University of Berlin. We also presented evidence to suggest Marx was anything but a rebel with a communist cause. The data suggested Marx was a Prussian agent of chaos; a slovenly man with an obsession to maximize his personal pleasure and avoid pain at all costs.
​ He married into Prussian aristocracy. More importantly, he married the sister of the Prussian Interior Minister. Everywhere he travelled, his communist colleagues were arrested or executed while he somehow was able to find a way to escape. While in London, he was visited multiple times by the head of the Prussian secret police, Wilhelm Stieber. Stieber was Otto von Bismarck’s highly prized spy chief. Stieber was intimately involved in the assassination attempts on diplomats, heads of states, and instrumental in destabilizing regions from within before they were invaded by Prussia7.​..
..What was so special about Marx to stimulate Stieber’s spy senses?
​ After Marx published the Communist Manifesto in 1848, communist revolutions erupted throughout Europe. France was, once again, seduced by the allure of a communist utopia and collapsed. But there were also Prussian communists who “fled” Prussia to escape persecution. The most notable were Solomon Loeb and Abraham Kuhn. They made a vast fortune selling clothes to the US military, and then transformed their capital into one of the most powerful banks in America. Kuhn Loeb & Co. became the American launching-pad for the man who would eventually arrive from Germany and install the Federal Reserve; Paul Warburg.
​ Marx’s toxic ideology was like a wrecking ball, and it was spreading everywhere. Believers in his Communist Manifesto behaved like their minds were infected with some sort of virus; a woke mind-virus. As this virus spread throughout Europe, Prussia remained relatively unscathed. Perhaps this was why Stieber was enthralled with Marx. Had Marx stumbled on the secret formula to radicalize and destroy rival nations from within?​…
​..If this was true, it would explain the constant surveillance of Marx by Stieber. Otto von Bismarck, no doubt, also understood the power of fomenting revolution within rival empires. France had fallen twice in 50 years to revolution. If Russia could eventually suffer the same fate, Prussia would be freed from their perpetual Russo-Franco geopolitical sandwich. Bizarrely, that’s exactly what happened in 1917.​..
​..Marx was a lazy, fat, slovenly, incoherent, morally, financially and spiritually bankrupt individual. As we shall discover, Marx’s character is now the quintessential prototype for Marxists today; be it politicians, CEOs, central bankers, members of the ReichsWEF, or the 40 year old purple-haired brat currently living in their parents’ basement, waiting for the next Soros’ funded protest.​..
​..Epicurus gave Marx the essential guide in how a community reaches the ultimate pleasure-state​… Epicurus’ belief that collective happiness is obtained by “surviving difficult times” became the mantra for all modern-era Marxist revolutions. Constant struggle sessions, kangaroo courts, purges and executions have become synonymous with communist dictatorships. It appears that Marx borrowed the concept of struggle from Epicurus.
​ Which leads us to the question, was Epicurus’ philosophy an ancient attempt at communism?​ The answer is, of course, yes. However, there is one stark contrast between the communism of Ancient Greece and the communism envisaged by Karl Marx.
​ Epicurus, and others, created an environment whereby the commune was voluntary. If you were intrigued by what Epicurus’ philosophy was offering, you were free to come, stay, or go as you pleased. This could be seen as a social experiment amongst many experiments within Ancient Greece.
​ Marx and his ideological descendants knew communism would never work in 19th and 20th century unless it was forced onto the people. From Marx’s point of view, Democritus and Epicurus provided a clear, deterministic path toward a utopia of collective happiness, with him on the hedonistic throne, as philosopher king. It was a no-brainer for Marx, but nobody else could see his vision.
​ Marx realized there was only one way to force the people to appreciate his vision: Through the gates of hell, by revolution.
B​y analyzing the ancient philosophers that Marx examined in his PhD, we come to understand the thought processes underpinning Marxism. The best outcome for humanity was a material, deterministic and atheistic world; a communal utopia where collective happiness is a function of collective struggle. This would be a world which seeks to maximize the pleasures on offer with wanton abandon.​..
​..The question was how he could convince the world to begin the transition towards communism.
​ This is where Marx utilized his studies at Berlin under the mentorship of Bruno Bauer, a Young Hegelian. Bruno taught Marx, in between their drinking escapades, the virtue of Hegel’s “dialectical idealism”. In this, warfare and radicalization go hand in hand. Radicalizing involved marginalizing a small group to become so passionate about a particular idea that they were willing to fight to the death over it. His theory: When two radical ideas clash, war ensues, and may the best idea win.
​ This was the light bulb moment for Marx. Transformation of society could not happen through an external force, it had to happen from within. A clash of ideas from within a society could provide exactly that; revolution, civil war, and transformation.
​ The puzzle for Marx was how to radicalize his followers to the point of revolution.​..
​..Marx believed that Hegel’s “dialectical idealism” was really just “dialectical materialism”.
​ The world did not need to fight about ideas, they needed to fight over things. The fight was about material things that one person possessed, and another did not. If you could convince enough people that their miserable existence was because of the greed and possessions of another group of people, you may just radicalize them enough to start a revolution.​..
​..In essence, Marx sold Epicurus’ utopian commune as a fantastical endpoint. Those who became his followers, were gradually radicalized to believe that the obstacles in their way toward utopia were those who had accumulated wealth; namely the middle-class. The problem was that the middle-class had worked, saved and invested their way to prosperity, and they were not about to give up their capital for an ideology they could not even understand. This created a societal polarization where both sides believed the opposition to be an existential threat.
​ The blueprint for revolution was complete. Marx believed he’d overtaken Hegel in the field of “dialectics”, but really he was a plagiarist, and an unoriginal thinker. He even stole Hegel’s “War is progress” meme​: “Revolutions are the locomotives of history”…
​..We come to the end of this part to the series. The goal was to gain an insight into how Karl Marx’s thought processes led to such a toxic ideology. Far from an original work, Marx took pieces of Democritus, Epicurus and Hegel that he liked and stuck them together to form​ Marxism.
​ We know that Prussia had a peculiar fascination regarding the French revolution, and that Fichte, Hegel and Marx all drew upon the historical events of that period to develop a type of “revolutionary theory”. Bizarrely, all of these men did most of their revolutionary research at the University of Jena, the place where Napoleon utterly humiliated Prussia.
​ We know that Hegel and Fichte were die-hard Prussian loyalists, and that their philosophy was dedicated to ensuring Prussian supremacy throughout Europe. However, Marx continually denounced the Prussian state. His denouncement was particularly strange for a number of reasons:
​ His wife was from Prussian aristocracy, who continually wrote back to the family, thereby creating the potential for back channel communication with Prussia.
His brother-in-law was the Minister of the Interior of Prussia, which means that back-channel was the equivalent of the Prussian CIA at the time.
​ Stieber, the chief of the Prussian secret police (Gestapo), continually travelled to London to keep an eye on Marx.
Marx’s closest friend, Friedrich Engels, just finished his service with the Prussian military before he established his relationship with Karl.
​ Finally, after the 1848 revolutions, Prussian “Marxists” escaped their kingdom for the safety of America. Known as the “48ers” and the “Red Republicans”, Marx kept a continual line of communication open with these men. Some of them include Charles Pfizer, and the future bankers of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. The latter banking firm is responsible for the establishment of the US Federal Reserve.
​ Was Marx a true communist revolutionary, or was he an operative for Prussia? He was a man who submitted his PhD at Jena, and then created a communist revolutionary manual so radical that it almost burnt Europe to the ground, just before Prussia launched its military campaign to humiliate Denmark, Austria and France. Was the animosity between Marx and Prussian Empire real, or simply a ploy to create plausible deniability?​ https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/when-decades-happen-part-iii
