    “Speaker Johnson: Ukraine Should Use US Weapons on Russian Territory (Antiwar)”
    “Let Ukraine Freely Strike Russia With Western Arms – NATO Chief (RT)”

    What’s with this latest NATO gambit: Giving their Ukrainian proxy regime “permission” to strike deep into Russian territory?

    Another escalation, of course. One that will certainly get Paul Craig Roberts squirming in this office chair again. Maybe in the end he will be proven right with his continuous urging for Russia to end the war quickly with overwhelming force, instead of allowing this game of slow escalation that could one day end in global thermonuclear annihilation.

    But I don’t think so. The purpose of this latest escalation is to try and provoke an overreaction by the Russians, thereby triggering all the anti-Soviet fears that lie latent in the Western psyche. So far, however, all the arm-waving and paranoiac anti-Russian propaganda pumped out by western media has been ineffective in rallying support for the war. Russia has been winning on all fronts, especially the PR front, which has long been dominated by the West. Since the beginning of the SMO, Russia has been perched nicely on the moral high ground, matching each escalation with the appropriate response. No crazy threats, no foaming at the mouth with bulging veins, no pounding of shoes on the podium. Nothing but controlled professionalism, both militarily and diplomatically.

    NATO is desperate to provoke an overreaction, but I don’t believe that Russia will give it one, just a slow grind until NATO comes apart at the seams from its own corruption and psychopathologies.

    “The only remaining question for me is which countries still retain their independence. Russia is pushing back against global government policies, I assume China is also not in the deal, also Iran. But what about the vast majority of countries in places like Africa and South America? It will be interesting to see who is global and who is independent and how do the independents keep their nations.”

    Bingo! Just look at the official “enemy” list and it will tell you who is pushing back. The rest are either already onboard with the agenda, non-nuclear vassals, or on a tight debt leash. Only a nuclear power can stand in the way of a global takeover. One that has the capability of overturning the gameboard so that everyone loses. Russia is the big enchilada.

    However, it is my opinion that the global cabal has already lost. Globalism has been exposed as a giant fraud, a Trojan Horse. The WEF is now radioactive, Brussels too, and Israel just stepped in it bigtime.

    The West has gone Luney Tunes with their Dementia Joe, Adolf Trudeau, Covid tyranny, transgenderism, microaggressions, and Drag Queen story hour for the kiddies. The culture once envied and aspired to is now being vomited up by the rest of the world.

    Too many curtains have been pulled back. The world cannot unsee what has been seen the past few years. A multipolar world of mutual cooperation and development is the new paradigm that everyone is flocking around. The vampire globalists are on the ropes and only need a stake in the heart to put them down.

    “Yet other interpretations are possible.” – Noirette

    Yes, it’s obvious that western nations are being overrun with non-assimilating immigrants against the wishes of local populations. Is it because factories are running out of unskilled labor? Probably not, as most of these jobs have already been offshored. Is it because whitey isn’t birthing enough tax donkeys to keep the system afloat? Then why not just give them financial incentives to have children like they do in other countries?

    I’ve been pounding this drum for years, (and so far, I’ve not heard a better explanation from anyone). My take: there is already a shadow global government that wants to be legitimized, but this can only happen when nationalism has been destroyed. And since the strength of nationalism rests on a common mythos and culture, these must be attacked mercilessly until they crumble. Notice their multi-pronged strategy: subvert the family, culture, religion, education, gender roles, morality, etc. And pay NGO’s to import as many non-assimilating foreigners as possible.

    That is why they hate Putin so much. Somehow, through the strength of his character, he has been able to unite the various Asian cultures that span the Russian Federation under a common mythos. If the globalists could only get that “shepherd” out of the way the sheep could be scattered – the Federation could be broken up and more easily exploited and controlled. He’s the William Wallace that fought back against foreign enslavement after the USSR dissolved. They want him dead.

    That is also why they’ve worked tirelessly to destroy Trump, because his MAGA message flies in the face of their goals to destabilize the US. And MAGA resonates strongly with the remnants of American culture.

    Oh, and by the way, they want you dead too, but first things first.

    More on Ed Dowd and his data analysis…

    I hope my earlier comments did not come off as sterile and heartless. Working with statistical analysis can often feel that way, talking about standard deviation and other mathematical terms. But what does the data published by Ed Dowd’s team really represent?

    It represents people that were mostly cut down in the prime of life. People that had jobs and families who normally would have lived a full life because they were healthy and successfully employed. It represents death, tragedy, and grief. Missing parents, missing children, missing loved ones. Smashed hopes and dreams. And for the disabled it represents adapting to a life of dependency, rather than productivity. Behind each digit is a life ruined, and a family traumatized!

    Ed Dowd continued…

    I like when he talks about the Enron debacle, how he was advising his investors to “get out!”, yet other analysts would come to him and say that there’s no problem, “we talked with the officers of the company and they assured us that everything is fine.” He learned how company officers would double-down and triple-down on their lies, even while they were taking them away in cuffs.

    They can’t be trusted. Corporate annual reports can’t be trusted. Only raw data can be trusted. Ed and his associates have done a great service by reporting their findings about the significant rise in death and disability resulting from the mandatory Covid gene therapy injections.

    Why aren’t his findings on the front page of the NYT? The same reason that the Warren Commision buried the truth about the Kennedy assassination, because core institutions would take a bullet to the head and the whole system would unravel, upsetting decades of planning and work to establish the New World Order – a global government.

    Thanks for sharing your inspirational discovery, Phoenix!

    Ed Dowd is someone that I’ve paid close attention to over the plandemic psyop. I like that he came out of Wall Street, so understands how to separate PR (lies) from facts (real data). And by data, I’m talking about stats which are relatively clean from manipulation, trustworthy data. I also like that he had his “come to Jesus” personal crisis and is now firmly on the side of Team Truth and Team Humanity. I’d be very surprised to see him deviate from his new path now that he has seen and experienced the light. I wish him every success and admire the work his is currently doing.

    Ten standard deviations!

    747 – An interesting thought experiment.

    To keep the 747 from moving forward to achieve lift the conveyer belt would somehow have to absorb ¼ million lbs of thrust from the 747’s four engines. If it can do this, the plane will sit still, otherwise it takes off.

    I certainly sympathize with citizenx’s rant today, but find it difficult to condemn all those that Hillary labelled “stupid” and “easy to manipulate.” This applies not only to leftist libs, but includes much of the human population. It wasn’t that long ago that I myself was handing out free covid masks at the grocery store, thinking that I was ahead of the curve and doing a service to my fellow man. At the time, if someone had told me that this was part of some grand global scheme to depopulate the planet, I would not have believed them. I already knew that those in power were lying, evil, murdering pricks, but global democide was a bridge too far. It took time, and a lot of evidence for me to come around.

    Just who are we dealing with, then? Adults operating at the level of children, who are conditioned to look toward authority figures and daddy government for direction. I cast some of the blame upon the sick culture in which we live, which promotes this dependency and has most of its ideals 180 degrees from where they should be: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

    The rest of the blame rests on us. It’s who we are. Unless otherwise educated by the school of hard knocks, we’re all pretty much rubes right off the turnip truck, wandering around in the big city, easy prey for the nearest pick-pocket or con man (politician). And just because we got scooped up in the Hunger Games, does not mean that the other districts are our enemies. They are just as much a victim as you and I are. As Katniss was often instructed, “Remember who the real enemy is.” This is good advice for us as well.

    You must realize that stories like the Hunger Games are inspired from above and contain a powerful message for our time. They are not just entertainment. The Matrix, V for Vendetta, and many others are given for our instruction, to prime our understanding, to help wake us up.

    Our enemies are not our family, friends, and neighbors, but those who sit at the top of the power pyramid pulling the strings, along with henchmen like Hillary and Fauci – useful psychopaths who have no problem carrying out mass murder for their overlords.

    People around the world are finally starting to wake up, but it is a terribly slow process. Now, would be a good time for the gods to plop one of Stanley Kubrick’s monoliths on the national mall to help us over our next evolutionary hurdle.

    “Just thinking,
    I called the covid scam and the collapse of the west,
    And I am a guy who knows nothing.
    What are we going to do?
    My family does not even believe me.
    How can we fix this?”

    The majority will never believe the covid scam until it is reported on the 6:00 o’clock news. They are hopelessly embedded in the Matrix, the group think of the masses, the herd. Not even if their 16 yr old son drops dead on the basketball court from a heart attack.

    And the authorities will never admit to what they’ve done, no matter the mountains of suppressed evidence. It’s too big a scam. Too global in nature. It would mean the downfall of most governments, their respective health institutions, and Big Pharma with all its media spending and bribery payouts. The cost of coming clean is too high. Not only that, they still want to depopulate the planet, so why bring this to everyone’s attention by fessing up?

    I sympathize with the feelings of isolation that result from having a different perspective than family and friends. Been living this way for many years. You eventually get used to it and find ways to maintain associations with people you care about (or must live with).

    How can we fix this?

    Fight asymmetrically against the Matrix by causing cognitive dissonance whenever and where ever you can, while taking every opportunity of pulling the establishment’s pants down around their ankles with embarrassing internet memes. Destroy their legitimacy!! Make them a laughing stock!! Expose their hypocrisy, their corruption!!

    After all, we’re at war.

    re: Ibogaine

    Probably does work. I read some about it back in late ’80s. Very effective, but was said to induce a terrifying 3-day quasi-shamanic journey into your soul.

    I took an Ibogaine journey about 10 years ago, but rarely talk about it, as things of this nature are foreign to my circle of acquaintance. I even withheld most of my experience from the debriefing circle afterward, as most of the other attendees seemed to be either detoxers, drug experimenters, or curiosity seekers. I was the old man that the others wondered what the hell was doing there.

    Months before I had read an article on Ibogaine that piqued my curiosity, so researched and thought about, then eventually decided to take the risk. It was at a time when my inner work felt like it had stalled out and I was looking for a breakthrough.

    Even after all the research, the experience itself was nothing like I expected. What followed was a 30-hour journey into a subtle world that is normally hidden from sight, full of endless life forms that range from the most disgusting to the beautifully sublime. The idea of accomplishing any inner work on myself was quickly brushed aside as I spent the entirety of the time trying to deal with the contents of this new sight.

    I won’t bore you with all the details, but let’s just say that, once again, I discovered that certain concepts read about in Yoga or esoteric texts are not just imaginative fantasies, but have a concrete reality. I experienced the “light in the head”, which is probably what enabled the new sight. The drug, it seems, has the ability to stimulate the forces that flow through the nervous system. However, none of the other attendees reported such an effect, some even expressed disappointment that nothing had happened. They had paid to take a ride on the Hallucinogenic Rollercoaster, but ended up on the merry-go-round.

    When it was all over, I discovered that not only was my physical energy spent (I could barely stand), but my nervous energy was depleted as well. Luckily, I had booked a room nearby, otherwise I would not have been able to find my way home. Everyone else scattered, while I sat in my car wondering how I was going to find my nearby room. It was as if my field of awareness had contracted into a small bubble just around my person. Everything else “out there” I could not reach or see in my mind’s eye.

    By some miracle I was able to find the nearby Inn, then fumbled around onsite until I found the registration room. Over the next few days I nursed myself back to health, finally reaching a point three days later when I felt I might be able to find my way back home.

    I’m assuming that I eventually returned to my normal state, but that’s debatable.

    If you will indulge me just one more movie reference, which I believe puts a nice bow on the theme started by jb-hb:

    In the movie Thor (2011), Thor steps up to receive rulership over the Nine Realms, currently held by his father, Odin. But sadly, Odin sees that he is not ready to receive such power, since Thor is inflated with pride, vanity, and entitlement. He is also drunk on victory, as a result of the power of his hammer, Mjölnir (a symbol of force). Thor is still in the thralls of the childhood ego.

    Odin, older and wiser, portrayed by Anthony Hopkins (no other actor could do the role justice), not only denies Thor the throne, but strips him of his current powers and casts him down to Earth.

    Odin Takes Thor’s Power

    Thor must learn to accept his new fate and take responsibility for it. Through suffering and torment his pride, vanity, and entitlement are reduced to ashes. He learns to love and care for others, eventually laying down his own life to save those around him. (His ordeals have transformed him – the difficult path is needed by most to purge the dominance of the childhood ego.)

    At this climax of self-sacrifice, Odin steps in to restore Thor’s previous powers now that he is truly ready and worthy to rule the Nine Realms.

    “These things are always better understood by humans through story and imagery. The test of Galadriel – offered The Ring. Able to ACTUALLY bring the things she would want to keep the same into stasis, not having to go to the Grey Havens and from thence across the sea, to not see the Elves fade out of Middle Earth. Power to dominate, rule, do anything, adored and worshipped, perfect grandiosity. But she manages to not take the ring.”

    This motif was also expressed when Harry Potter broke the Elder Wand after defeating Voldemort. He rejected the path of power represented by the Elder Wand for the path of love – being content to accept his small role in the world as a father and husband.

    Thank you jb-hb (and many others) for the quality of content you bring to this site.

    “Do we not, in our worse moments, shy away from having to sacrifice, having to CHANGE even a little bit, feeling as though it would be like death? WHILE wishing for free impossible stuff? A reason you find “atheist materialist” leftist who are neither atheist nor materialist mucking around in tarot, wicca, manifestation, and so on. Trying to cast spells with language, with rituals.”

    AKA the path of the black magician. Seeking power for the little me, the ego. Looking for a shortcut, a way around the difficult path.

    “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

    What is the cure then?

    Love – putting the happiness and welfare of others above oneself.

    Tom Luongo’s got a new piece out today explaining why Tulsi Gabbard is the best choice for Donald Trump’s VP pick. I wholeheartedly agree with him and said the same last week during coffee clutch. She ticks off many boxes to form a unifying ticket, one that would be difficult to assail by the DNC dirty tricks team. They would only end up shooting themselves in the foot with a bigger caliber than normal.

    “Diagnosis: The problem is LIES. We do not have a COHESIVE system of thought and understanding, between people, in our culture, or IN OURSELVES, because they’ve injected 70% lies into every minute of every day for lifetimes. …”

    Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Jeez, here I go again…

    Which is why I continually beat people over the head with all the warn out Matrix movie references – the false world pulled over our eyes, the control system put in place by the powerful few in order to keep us turning the cranks that generate a vast river of wealth and power that flows right back to our jailers.

    Not only the LIES of commission, but also the LIES of OMISSION – knowledge that is purposely withheld and suppressed that would allow humanity a fighting chance to get their bearings in life, their culture, the world, and finally the cosmos. It would provide the GPS system for navigating through life in a closer relationship with natural law. People would gain PERSPECTIVE – the ability to locate themselves in the vastness of life so as to find an appropriate place to make their contribution according to their own talents (aka Reality). Imagine that world and society.

    Even if we swam in truth from day one, there would still be basic human weakness to contend with. We all have our temptations waiting in the background for the right circumstances to bring them to the surface. However, if early training also included extensive exercises in self-knowledge, many of the pitfalls of life could be avoided.

    Sure, I’d love to see the world transformed into a paradise, or at the very least be released from the bondage of ignorance and lies. As Neo found out, it is not especially pleasant to leave the Matrix and experience the Real World of desolation and suffering, and then wanting to help those around you only to be attacked by an Agent Smith who pops out of your closest friend whenever a system-installed tripwire is activated.

    “Incidentally, you claim to be an atheist but you’re not going to be an atheist for long. Just because Con Men pimp and pump various “religions” of every description does not mean that there is no God. It just means that Con Men know what everybody is searching for and see “religion” as a means of making a quick buck and gain power by selling folks a ticket to the promised land that’s a “guaranteed” winner every time (when it ain’t).”k

    I’ve heard it been said that charlatans, false prophets, megachurches, and the like act like a gauntlet to filter out all those who would only waste the time and be a burden to a true master. That allows him (or her) to focus on those students who are ready and would most benefit from direct instruction. Even if some that are still green in their development somehow make it past the gauntlet, they would quickly be repelled by getting metaphorically punched in the face every day – their egos would not be able to take the searing heat and dissection of their character.

    Which reminds me of another quote from the same book as mentions the previous posts. Yes, Yogananda again, sorry:

    “If you don’t like my words, you are at liberty to leave at any time,” Master assured me. “I want nothing from you but your own improvement. Stay only if you feel benefited.” For every humbling blow he dealt my vanity, for every tooth in my metaphorical jaw he knocked loose with stunning aim, I am grateful beyond any facility of expression. The hard core of human egotism is hardly to be dislodged except rudely. With its departure, the Divine finds at last an unobstructed channel. In vain It seeks to percolate through flinty hearts of selfishness.

    That’s not to say that the hurdles we face in searching for spiritual truth are cruel and demonic. It often seems so, but when you look at the bell curve of humanity, how many really are ready to hear and conform their lives to higher laws? To walk the knife’s edge? To wander the in the desert for 40 years – endure the dark night of the soul and have the hell burned out of them? And please don’t crowd and cut in line.

    So, where do they go for instruction, one which is suited for them? Organized religions, megachurches, and the likef, and get stuck in the fly papers of dogma and external authorities in their wanderings.

    “I definitely do not deserve a place elsewhere.”

    Same here. I’m reminded of another quote from the same book… if you’ll bear with me:

    From transient teachers of my earlier life I had imbibed a few erroneous lessons. A chela, I was told, need not concern himself strenuously over worldly duties; when I had neglected or carelessly performed my tasks, I was not chastised. Human nature finds such instruction very easy of assimilation. Under Master’s unsparing rod, however, I soon recovered from the agreeable delusions of irresponsibility.

    “Those who are too good for this world are adorning some other,” Sri Yukteswar remarked. “So long as you breathe the free air of earth, you are under obligation to render grateful service. He alone who has fully mastered the breathless state* is freed from cosmic imperatives. I will not fail to let you know when you have attained the final perfection.”

    “But I’m a fuckup.”

    Yes, and I am king of the blockheads, who entered this world as a lazy, stubborn, selfish brute. Yet, I take joy in knowing that I get to build upon the experience gained through all the failures and the few successes from this life into the next. That nothing of value that I’ve managed to garner is ever lost.

    Just when you think that things have leveled out, TAE erupts with another glorious plume of ideas to chew on and stimulate the imagination…

    I gave up on the fear of getting bored with life many years ago when I discovered that I was just a puny little creature in a vast multi-dimensional universe of other life forms; although puny and insignificant, yet important and worthy of attention from above. Even a taste of this takes years to process and come to terms with before one stops jerking at the chain like a crazed dog trying to break free from bondage. From then on it is “What is my mission in this life?”, “Please light the way before me for I am blind.”, “How can I serve life though weak and flawed?”, “Teach me to love and grant me wisdom.”, “I am unworthy but grateful beyond words.”, etc. etc. etc.

    When new faculties and perceptions begin to awaken in that block of wood that sits upon your neck and that shriveled heart within your breast, you realize that all is not set in stone, that some progress can be achieved in one lifetime, that effort and sacrifice are eventually rewarded, that the hunger and longing for a higher life is like a gravitational field that pulls down blessings from above – Not Oompa Loompas or Unicorns, but what is needed to move you forward. That life is an endless upward spiral from incarnation to incarnation with ever expanding abilities and perceptions. There is no death!

    Does this sound boring?

    So, what is earth life but a school in which you are continually forced to make choices, where you are given certain opportunities and challenges based on your level of development.

    Do you feel like you’ve been overlooked? That your brilliance and gem-like qualities are being ignored by the higher powers? That you are ready to take your place in the heavenly halls, instead of dragging your body to work every day on this forsaken planet of woe? Then you should also be aware that nothing is hidden. Even your inner thoughts and motivations are well known. No one is overlooked, and everything hidden to our perceptions is open for inspection and scrutiny by those above.

    Unlike here on earth, where one can advance in status based on fraud or connection, it is not so on the path of spiritual development (or whatever term one wishes to use for the evolutionary impulse). All qualifications must be met to advance, no cheating allowed. Assume you are always being tested to be found worthy and fit for what they rejoice in giving you. Prepare yourself.

    Below is a quote from Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, the only ebook that Steve Jobs kept on his computer. I consider it more food for thought:

    A few mornings later I made my way to Master’s empty sitting room. I planned to meditate, but my laudable purpose was unshared by disobedient thoughts. They scattered like birds before the hunter.

    “Mukunda!” Sri Yukteswar’s voice sounded from a distant inner balcony.

    I felt as rebellious as my thoughts. “Master always urges me to meditate,” I muttered to myself. “He should not disturb me when he knows why I came to his room.”

    He summoned me again; I remained obstinately silent. The third time his tone held rebuke. “Sir, I am meditating,” I shouted protestingly. “I know how you are meditating,” my guru called out, “with your mind distributed like leaves in a storm! Come here to me.”

    Snubbed and exposed, I made my way sadly to his side. “Poor boy, the mountains couldn’t give what you wanted.” Master spoke caressively, comfortingly. His calm gaze was unfathomable. “Your heart’s desire shall be fulfilled.”

    Sri Yukteswar seldom indulged in riddles; I was bewildered. He struck gently on my chest above the heart.

    My body became immovably rooted; breath was drawn out of my lungs as if by some huge magnet. Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage, and streamed out like a fluid piercing light from my every pore. The flesh was as though dead, yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body, but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I discerned the inward flow of their sap.

    The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all-perceptive. Through the back of my head I saw men strolling far down Rai Ghat Road, and noticed also a white cow who was leisurely approaching. When she reached the space in front of the open ashram gate, I observed her with my two physical eyes. As she passed by, behind the brick wall, I saw her clearly still.

    Suddenly the breath returned to my lungs. With a disappointment almost unbearable, I realized that my infinite immensity was lost. Once more I was limited to the humiliating cage of a body, not easily accommodative to the Spirit. Like a prodigal child, I had run away from my macrocosmic home and imprisoned myself in a narrow microcosm.

    My guru was standing motionless before me; I started to drop at his holy feet in gratitude for the experience in cosmic consciousness which I had long passionately sought. He held me upright, and spoke calmly, unpretentiously.

    “You must not get overdrunk with ecstasy. Much work yet remains for you in the world. Come; let us sweep the balcony floor; then we shall walk by the Ganges.”

    I fetched a broom; Master, I knew, was teaching me the secret of balanced living. The soul must stretch over the cosmogonic abysses, while the body performs its daily duties.

    Sure, there is still a long way to go, but with each passing day I see more evidence on how far we have come over the past few years when there were only a few dissenting voices waving their arms in alarm about the advancing global techno-tyranny.

    Just a couple quick examples: Today, we got to see Dr. Bret Weinstein talk about it openly to a roomful of nodding heads in Washington DC. I noticed that no SWAT team busted in to muscle him out the back door. And just a short while ago I listened to Greek vlogger Alex Christoforou from The Duran talk about how he really wants to get Tom Luongo on the show so that he can explain in more detail why the EU must keep the Ukraine war on track so that they can use Russia as a boogeyman to justify issuing war bonds. These bonds are needed, you see, to institute taxing power to keep the EU project from its impending debt implosion.

    I see truth neutrons bouncing off other truth neutrons and a chain reaction building. Every effort made by the globalist cabal to keep the ignorant masses in their enslavement seems to boomerang. All their increasing ham-fisted attempts only jar more people from their hypnotic slumber. The lies are getting so far-fetched that the Matrix is gyrating uncontrollably like an unbalanced spin cycle. As more awaken and speak out, courage is bolstered in those who were once fearful.

    No wonder they are in such a panic to get Skynet (AI controlled censorship) up and running. Not even their battalions of woke fact-checkers are currently enough to keep the masses under Big Brother’s thumb, not to mention that these hordes of entitled, blue-haired, authoritarians represent an unproductive cancerous cost overhead for Silicon Valley.

    It is my belief that the whole process is happening in order to raise humanity to a new level of consciousness, since we currently find ourselves in a state where our technical advancement has far outstripped our moral advancement. This idea seems to be popping up in numerous places and is a good fit for the times we live in. This kind of “waking up” is not easy nor pretty. It is often gut wrenching, stretching one to the borders of sanity. The Gods of consciousness development must extract their price. Many of us here have gone through it, some quickly, others need more time, but if we succeed in breaking free from the current paradigm of unconsciousness, our descendants will be able to look back with wonder at the Dark Ages of the early 21st century.

    “Also this week, the scandal of the century was re-kindled when alt-news reporters Taibbi, Shellenberger, and Gutentag filed the story of how Barack Obama and CIA Director John Brennan, with his chore girls, Avril Haines and Gina Haspel, cooked up the RussiaGate caper and fed it to the FBI, with a major assist from The New York Times, the WashPo, CNN, and other useful idiot coconspirator news media vectors.”

    There, fixed it.

    I’m sure that Kunstler is aware that today’s media organizations are mostly staffed with political activists, not to mention heavily infiltrated by the many alphabet intel agencies; therefore, he should not be letting them off the hook by calling them “useful idiots” – a term commonly used to identify those who are unaware they are being manipulated for nefarious purposes.

    As Herr Doktor often states, “words have meaning”.

    Thanks, TAE Summary! I always enjoy your posts.

    In other news, C.J. Hopkins has been acquitted by a Berlin court of posting “Nazi-promoting Tweets”.

    Mask-Wearing German Judge Acquits CJ Hopkins In ‘Nazi-Promoting Tweets’ Case

    Worth reading is CJ’s closing statement, which the judge dismissed as “ideological drivel”, yet it delivered an anti-fascist uppercut to the courtroom like Mike Tyson. With CJ’s final knockout blow the prosecution lay prostrate on the canvas, the referee counted to ten, and the gallery rose to its feet in applause.

    “As noted by Bump, citizens are much safer to just accept what they are given and avoid the temptation to do their own research. Censorship is now actually proclaimed as a form of virtue signaling, assuring viewers that they will not have to hear certain opposing views or figures. There is little tolerance for those who insist on seeking out such news.”

    Plus ça change…

    Slaves should not pay any attention to that conspiracy theorist who left the cave a while back and came back peddling misinformation about the outside world of sunshine, plants, and animals. Just continue to watch the shadows on the wall and forgo every opportunity to embark on the Hero’s Journey.

    In Dora’s snippet from Philip Bump I hear the allegory of Plato’s Cave. Those that follow Bump’s advice remain slaves, children of the state, useful idiots, and not actualized adults who get to experience reality.

    Thanks for that link to the clip with Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn. I’d never heard of Walter Kirn before, but he got my attention immediately with his uncanny ability to size up the WEF, an organization that many people find nebulous, in quite accurate and descriptive language. I think he even had Matt Taibbi, a champion wordsmith in his own right, playing catch-up.

    I’ve been very heartened lately with the amount of knowledge and understanding that has been pouring forth from the four quarters of the world about the current failures of the western-centric empire: its untrustworthiness, its blood-sucking greed, its perversion of morality, justice, and truth, its militarism and divisiveness, its desire for complete planetary control with its attendant depopulation schemes… think The Hunger Games.

    The push-back is building… bigly!

    I appreciated your thoughts on the matter and agree that understanding and compassion is needed for those still trapped in the Matrix, and bodes as a healthier state of mind for us as well.

    I was going to write that “it’s easy for forget the trials of our own journey”, but in my case that would be untrue, as I often look back on the long and difficult journey that got me here, wondering how I ever made it and if I could ever do it again. At this point, I have no desire to go back and live my life over again hoping for a better result. I’m quite content and think it’s a miracle that I made it this far, and would not wish to tempt fate on a do over.

    “I noticed this during Covid, summer of 2021 when I shared my concerns about the vaccine with a couple of retired friends, and the spouse of one — a college professor — attempted to blow my concerns out of the water with platitudes derived from official sources.”

    Hey, phoenix, we’ve all been there. My favorite is when you tell them something and before the day ends you receive an email about how some fact-checking website has already debunked it. They don’t realize that fact checkers are just another layer of deception meant to trap those suckers who accidentally stumbled upon a glitch in the Matrix.

    But I found it interesting that the biggest vax proponents were the educated PMC’s. You know, the ones that became overnight virology experts by watching YouTube videos and taking online classes. They had all the answers, being lickspittle slaves to authority, knowing how to please teach for that A+. They reek of pride and self-assurance.

    Also, leading up to the plandemic, the establishment had put forth a great deal of effort to discredit the internet as being fringe, untrustworthy, and full of cockamamie conspiracy theories. Essentially, priming the public mind to shy away from non-authoritative sources in a crisis.

    My favorite example is from the 2011 movie Contagion, where Jude Law plays a sleazy internet vlogger who misleads his audience by steering them toward a snake-oil cure from forsythia. He is eventually exposed as a charlatan who was profiting from his false advice. Meanwhile, the authorities (politicians, scientists, big pharma, other “experts,” etc.) turn out to be the heroes by coming up with a vaccine in time to save humanity.

    Imho. N. F. knew what he was doing with his analyses and predictions. They were, are, sort of marginally clever, superficially convincing. Hey, he gets paid, they like him, he is a hotshot, etc.

    Noirette is correct. This applies to Neil Ferguson as much as to any other establishment toady who mortgages their soul for a fat paycheck and/or adulation. It infects the current system from top to bottom. These sellouts serve a purpose and are rewarded for it, whether it be the news anchor desk with its long queue of sycophant wannabes, prestigious awards, $500K speaking fees, board positions, $multi-million book deals, etc.

    If you cooperate with establishment goals you are rewarded:

    Inquisition

    However, if you become an obstacle their goals the consequences could be severe:

    The fact that the United States government could be lying to its people about the safety of a vaccine for me was unbelievable. – Steve Kirsch from the clip above

    This statement by Steve Kirsch reminded me of a quote I recently saw attributed to J. Edgar Hoover speaking about communism.

    From my experience there is a one segment of the population which will never admit that the Covid mRNA shots were part of a monstrous conspiracy, strictly because it might jeopardize their position in the political camp they have been herded into and identify with. Another segment is composed of those sociopathic elements who will never admit that they were wrong, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Then there are those honest and decent people who are just unable to wrap their minds around something so huge and diabolical, like state sponsored democide, that they find it impossible to believe.

    I fear you might be getting lost in the weeds with the DNA contamination story about the Covid notavax. There’s nothing wrong with the article pe se, but it dances around the margins of the problem instead of going for the jugular, which is what we need right now.

    The WHO, CDC, FDA, etc. are all caputured organizations, being arms of the new global government, who have put their own people in charge. Just as Zelenski and Biden were installed to carry out specific plans.
    While we “useless eaters” dick around with how many DNA fragments should be allowed in mRNA treatments, the global cabal moves forward with their plan to solidify control and wipe out 95% of humanity. To save the planet, of course, which makes it ok. NOT!

    He now has over 30 million dollars worth of property in the US, Israel and Egypt, and who knows how much cash he has squirrelled away.

    I would think he will have enough to live comfortably, unless he is killed as a false flag operation to be blamed on Russia!

    Don’t be fooled. This is the big lie, that one can live comfortably after selling the soul for thirty pieces of silver. Zelensky was also instrumental in the destruction of his own country. He will live a tortured life until the end, and his karmic debt will be immense.

    The accumulation of material possessions brings no happiness or peace, especially when they are ill-gotten. Thus, the term “blood money”. Even when it is earned through hard work and talent, it can often leave one feeling empty. I remember Jackie Gleason telling the story about how after he made it big, he went out and got all the things that he ever wanted, a beautiful mansion with a pool, filled with the best furniture and a billiard room. Afterward, he sat down and realized that all these things did not make him happy, it only came by making others happy.

    Neo: What is the Matrix?
    Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.

    I was thinking about this last week and finally took the time to put my thoughts into a simplified graphic form. We all know that books could be written on the subject. Posted for entertainment value only. Your experience of the Matrix may vary.

    Is there anyone that reads this site that actually believes humans went to the moon?

    Just logged in and saw this.

    Thanks for the excellent response VP. As one who grew up during that time and followed the space program, I’ve never doubted the integrity of the moon landings. Were there military projects that piggy-backed onto NASA’s space program which the public was never made aware of? Most likely. Did the astronauts have any UFO encounters that were hidden from the public? Probably. Did Neil Armstrong walk on the moon? Definitely!

    A couple thoughts on communism that come to mind whenever the subject is broached…

    Firstly, I am against central planning, since it always seems to be the case that the further you are located from a problem, the more out of touch you are in respect to its causes and solutions. I saw this play out in my own technical field, where the higher one was in management, the more they lost touch with the day-to-day realities of production and support. What is the job of management then? How about providing a vision, employee cohesion, morale, finance, legalities, PR, etc. – those things that pertain to the level of management and its associated business abstractions, and NOT determining how many squares of toilet paper an employee may use during bathroom breaks, or how much to charge for a yogurt cone in the cafeteria.

    What often comes to mind are the New Testament verses that describe how some communities of early Christians “had all things common” and “parted them [their possessions] to all men, as every man had need.”

    It seems to me that this is the utopian ideal that most communists aspire to. One which promotes brotherhood and provides for the least and most vulnerable of its members. However, it is wholly unsuited for a humanity at its current stage of development, where love is in short supply and self-interest dominates the ego. Where the community team of oxen will be returned to the barn overworked and unfed so that Farmer Gates can rise in rank by foisting these externalities on the rest of the community. True communism requires an abundance of love, so that the “other” is considered as “oneself,” the community children are as one’s own. It will quickly morph into a sick tyranny wherever fear, hatred, and greed predominate.

    The goal of all those actions is to “increase instability in the world, to divide cultures, peoples, world religions, and to provoke a conflict of civilizations,” the Russian president added. “Meanwhile, they talk about some kind of ‘new world order’, whose essence hasn’t changed: hypocrisy, double standards, claims to exclusivity, to global dominance, to the preservation of an essentially neocolonial system.”

    Wow, no more pussy-footing around, yet statesman-like, without all the vitriol, hyperbole, and foaming at the mouth. Putin uses clear and concise language that every victim of US and European dominance can understand, handing them the master key to understanding their plight. Putin clearly states that, without double standards, the West wouldn’t have any standards at all. No wonder the West hates him so much, his leadership is a unifying force for all those who have had enough of the status quo.

    A shout out to Ilargi and all those here at TAE who have kept the ball rolling these past months. I had a particularly busy summer and was not able to contribute much if anything. I know that things look pretty dark right now with WWIII on the horizon, but the forces of light have also been gathering their troops, and their light has begun to penetrate into many places that have been hidden for a long time, enabling the world to see who is wearing the black hats and who is wearing white. Indeed, a Great Awakening is taking place.

    Maher and Schwarzenegger are creations of the western media empire. One doesn’t rise to the top by being hostile to those that assign roles or sign your checks, essentially those that can make you rich and famous or destroy you depending on your cooperation or lack thereof. Just ask Roseanne Barr.

    When I see media personalities like Maher or Schwarzenegger attempting to influence my opinion, I always remember that what I am hearing are the words of their owners, those that hold their leash. It is the same with news anchors, those trained monkeys that deliver CIA written scripts as if they were news.
