    “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.

    @Dora

    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:

    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?

    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.

    Can you hear that howling gale? Or as Ross Perot would say, that “giant sucking sound”? It is the sound of global power, legitimacy, and respect being withdrawn from the West at a frightening pace. The rest of the world has already read the new multi-polar, anti-colonialism script and is awaiting their turn on the stage. Only western audiences are unaware of this historic shift, being quadruple-boosted and either unwilling or too lazy to leave the comfort of their media Lie Matrix. No matter how many times the curtain is pulled back to expose the rot and corruption, they refuse to see. For example:

    WTC-7 falls –> Nope, nothing to see here.
    Iraqi WMD’s –> So sorry, mistakes were made?
    Rigged 2016 Democratic primary –> Look, a squirrel!
    Russia-gate –> Kill the Trump, we hates him!
    Soros BLM riots –> Mostly peaceful protests.
    Hunter’s laptop from Hell –> Russian disinformation!
    Brazenly stolen 2020 election –> The man on TV said it was on the up-and-up.
    Jan 6 protest –> Insurrection! Attack on our democracy!
    Open borders –> Diversity is our strength!
    Ukraine proxy war –> Unprovoked Russian invasion!
    Dementia Joe shaking hands with ghosts –> He’s the reincarnation of FDR.

    How can you help such a people? At this point I’m not sure there is a path of reclamation.

    “The Alien bodies from Peru in Mexico is being broadly covered:” – John Day

    Really, John. Did you read any of the 3 articles you posted about the alien bodies presentation? I read all three. Took about 3 minutes. Each of the articles brushed the event aside as if it were a fraud, labeling it a “stunt”, that previous discoveries of the “self-claimed” ufologist, Maussan, were “debunked”, and that his presentation “faced swift backlash and criticism from skeptics”. Some coverage!

    This is what I expected: suppression of the story.

      From the 1950 W. B. SMITH MEMO #2:

    I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian Embassy staff in Washington who were able to obtain for me the following information:

    a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.

    b. Flying saucers exist.

    c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush.

    d. The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be of tremendous significance.

    Alien visitation and tech is rated “Cosmic Top Secret”, is buried deep in the MIC away from elected officials, and is blanketed in a thick cloud of counter-intelligence psyops.

    “if the aliens from the UFOs are so smart, why do their vehicles crash so often?”

    Those flying these things are not Klingons or Romulans, but highly evolved science geeks doing research and looking after the health of the planet and its life forms.

    On the other hand, the MIC has no qualms about shooting at alien craft in attempts to get their greedy little hands on ET’s tech. And it would not surprise me if some crash survivors have been tortured in order to get them to reveal how their tech works.

    That would explain all the warning beacons placed outside the solar system, broadcasting the same message over and over.

    DB Smith,

    Concerning Dr Steven Greer, I certainly applaud the guy for what he has done to get the word out on UFO’s despite the best efforts of the national security state to squelch it, but I don’t always agree with him on certain claims, and my spidey senses get activated whenever I hear him speak.

    For example, whenever he speaks a few things jump out that make me a little suspicious that he is not able to be fully objective about the UFO field. Firstly, he enjoys the spotlight too much. Secondly, he continually puffs up his importance by name dropping, and recounting all the high-profile briefings that he’s given over the years to all those poor, clueless government drones that are kept in the dark, US presidents and such. Thirdly, he tends to emote too much. Strong feelings are certainly warranted, but they can also be used to manipulate his audience. Being an empath myself, it is often difficult to squelch the water works when I see someone else choke up, yet when I see Dr Greer get all teary-eyed during one of his presentations something inside me puts the breaks on as if it is not genuine.

    As to some of his claims… He says that the cattle mutilations are part of a government psyop in order to scare the population in preparation for an upcoming false flag alien invasion, which will justify the creation of a World Goverment. I’m savy to the agenda of a World Government, but via cattle mutilations? Really? This does not make any sense to me, unless Dr Greer is just trying to lump every UFO-related phenomenon into his theory in order to give it a greater sense of validity. Mr Spock would say his claim is “highly illogical”.

    Exactly why would the MIC use reengineered alien craft to abduct animals around the globe, sometimes right under the noses of their owners, take them up into the craft, extract all the blood, surgically remove certain organs in a way that humans cannot duplicate, then dump them in a nearby location leaving not a trace of blood or ground disturbance? Then sabotage their own supposed psyop by squelching the stories, claiming the mutilations were caused by predators or satanic cults? No, something else is afoot here.

    Dr Greer also claims that David Fravor’s tic-tac is also a MIC product, another illogical idea. According to David Fravor, the tic-tac he encountered was interacting with something just under the surface of the ocean, possibly another craft, when his jet went to investigate, while the new phased radar array indicated the main group of craft puttering along at 80,000 feet. I could see the MIC adding some human interface tech to an alien saucer in order to pilot it, but why would they develop a fleet of 40’ white cylindrical craft with no windows and fly them in groups at 80,000 feet at 100 MPH off San Diego? Again, I think Dr Greer’s theory has taken possession of his senses. He does his theory a disservice by trying to shoehorn in actual alien activity by claiming it is the MIC in disquise.

    Concerning AI, disembodied spirits, etc…

    The esoteric tradition teaches that the cosmos is build out from the highest dimension to the lowest (physical matter) with every higher dimension interpenetrating the lower. For example, the lowly hydrogen atom from the periodic table is constructed from the matter of 48 higher dimensions. So, it’s all right here, ever present, we just don’t have access to it with our physical senses.

    What does the Eastern tradition teach? That the human body is composed of multiple sheaths, bodies, layers, or planes, whatever terminology you wish to use. In order to animate the physical human body, a few other bodies are required to complete the connection. These other bodies are composed of activated higher dimensional matter. For example, the etheric body acts as the link between the emotional body and the physical body. The Chakras are real, having a complexity beyond your imagination.

    So, when Scotty energizes the transporter to dematerialize Kirk’s body in order to transport it from the planet surface back the ship and reassembles all the atoms in the exact order, what happens? Kirk’s lifeless physical body falls out of the transporter bay while his four other bodies are left standing on the planet, interpenetrating one another, a living disembodied being, wondering why nobody will listen to him. Such is death, but science is unable (and also unwilling) to penetrate beyond the gross physical.

    That is why, with all the blather about AI, I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about Skynet becoming self-aware and taking out humanity. Humans are self-aware because they are highly developed life forms, having access (mostly subjective) to higher dimensional matter and the faculties that each enables, whereas the AI computer farm is at most a collection of minerals powered by electricity and a set of instructions. It’s a gross physical machine, not a living, evolving being.

    And yes, logically, the physical matter of the computer contains all the higher dimensional matter needed to build out the aluminum, copper, gold, etc elements from which it is constructed, but this higher dimensional matter is not organized nor activated to support life.

    “Given the temporal relationship between the increase in vaccinations and excess mortality, it seems surprising that a respective safety signal has not been detected…”

    Why must scientists tiptoe around the truth as in the sentence quoted above? Why, because the hammer will come down on them if they dare state it clearly and boldly. This has been the case since Francis Bacon first outlined the scientific method. Spectacled geeks are free to do science insomuch that their hypothesis or conclusion not interfere with the political power or money flows of the cool kids in the Big Club.

    So, why has this latest safety signal (excess mortality) gone undetected for so long? The short answer is it hasn’t, yet scientists must give the Big Club the benefit of the doubt by pretending it is due to negligence or oversight, lest they become a target and get smashed. The Big Club sees the safety signal, they just don’t want you to see it – all the “useless eaters” that are the target of their global culling designs.

    Religion as the opiate of the masses:

    A wise man once said, “It is a blessing to be born into a religion, but a curse to die in one.”

    What does this mean? Firstly, that religion, at its roots, is not a bad thing. It is a moral training ground designed to awaken and strengthen the higher faculties. This is the blessing. Unfortunately, religion is also a business and a social control system that heavily indoctrinates its membership. Like fly paper, once you become indoctrinated, you are psychologically “stuck” in that belief system, often for the remainder of your life. Most religions insist they have an exclusive claim on truth, then go on to psychologically “box in” their members using the carrot and stick, heaven and hell, technique of control. Very few have the courage to risk their “salvation” by breaking out of this box.

    This is where the curse comes in. Because world religions are only the training ground, a spiritual kindergarten. They are not the end in themselves, but only the beginning of the journey. At some point, those that are drawn to a higher life, “I came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly”, drawn to a greater understanding, a brighter light than the darkness of the world, they must break free of the psychological prison that their respective religion has put them in. Only then, can they leave spiritual kindergarten behind and continue their development.

    Ten points to Gryffindor for referencing the Labors of Hercules!

    I’ve come to appreciate your comments, and find myself reading them with more attentiveness the past few months. There have been many times this past winter when I’ve found myself warming the comment bench. Mostly, this seems to be because Ilargi and the TAE commentariat have had matters well in hand. At other times, I’ve had the urge to contribute, but lack of time and or health has prevented me.

    I don’t understand why AFKTT has adopted a tone of condescension, which seems to have intensified over the past year. It seems totally ineffective at helping anyone advance from point A to B in their level of awareness or understanding. Correct me if I am wrong. If I were planning to insult someone, for their improvement of course, Wouldn’t it be better to do it with humor or even sarcasm? I’ve never come across a master yet who taught by throwing his arms up in the air in exasperation because the student was beyond all hope.

    If AFKTT truly lives his life on a higher plane, we would all benefit if he would exercise some patience by meeting us where we are at, instead of expressing frustration because we are unable or unwilling to join him in the lofty heights.

    I’m just getting over some GI bug that put me out of action for a few days. At first it seemed like the old food poisoning routine, but I didn’t snap back immediately after getting cleaned out. Instead, it hung on tenaciously, making me feel miserable and exhausted. Whatever I ate starting the GI tract boiling. Had the thought of taking a Covid test in the midst of it, but then decided the hell with it, I don’t really care anymore. I eat lunch out almost every day and noticed for the past few weeks that there is always at least one sick person nearby, sniffing and coughing.

    I hope zerosum is feeling better now, also. OK, just saw the above. That’s good.

    Concerning the T-Rex, I heard the reason they were always so angry and belligerent was because their forearms were too short for self-stimulation… <reach><reach> “Grrrrrraaaaaarrrr!”

    “Boo, you stink!” Hey, it’s funnier when acted out, trust me.

    Just wanted to check in and let the TAE commentariat know how much I appreciate them, especially Ilargi for providing this home where we can meet and learn from one another. When I first started reading TAE several years ago, I would often jump on one of Ilargi’s rhetorical questions in order to set the record straight. I know better now, and thank him for his enduring patience.

    “Finally, that orange-faced ogre is going to get his comeuppance!” Neighbors are doing chest bumps in the street and rubbing their hands in eager anticipation. Let’s compare notes on the delicious news of his indictment, “Did you hear the latest?”

    Their Trump hatred had been pushed aside the past few years, displaced by selfish, anti-vaxxers and evil Ruskies. It’s energy had waned and grown cold. But now, at long last, new life has been breathed into their smoldering Trump hatred. All it took was a few puffs from the media billows to reignite the glowing embers into a blazing fury. “Let’s kill the Trump and drag his entrails through the streets!” Is it just me or does it make you feel all warm and cozy inside, too.

    Such is the life of the TDS crowd, those useful idiots that are the joy of politicians and extended warranty salesmen. Easily manipulated because they have no grounding and are ruled by their emotions. Having no guiding principles with which to self-manage, and no roots into reality, they are easy prey to authority figures who are more than happy to use them as they please. They are psychological children in adult bodies.

    Don’t even get me started on the load of crap that they teach you at the university level. What an eye opener that was!

    Like most of your posts here, you are right on target again with your Seth Rich / Wikileaks analysis. I could not have summarized it better. And you also touched on another point, that a deeper dive is really needed to get a truer, more accurate, understanding of facts on the ground. This is difficult for most, for multiple reasons, not least of which is the 24-hour news cycle that has them chasing that fascinating laser dot on the wall, moving from one ‘bombshell’ story to the next, never going back to connect any dots, no historical context, no follow-ups, no corrections, no mea culpas, no falling on swords, no curiosity about who’s holding the laser pointer and why.

    Not that long ago I also relied on traditional media sources with the expectation that I was investing the time to gain awareness about world events. That all changed with the 2008 financial crisis. I was attending school again after an early retirement to restart that half of my brain which had atrophied during my career in high tech. While writing an ECON term paper I discovered that the talking heads on all the news channels were a bunch of bald-faced, lying liars who told lies, to which everyone clapped their hands and bobbed heads up and down.

    That’s when I started questioning everything else. And of course, everywhere I looked it was all fake news. Even so, it still hadn’t sunk in that the whole media kit and caboodle was rotten from top to bottom. A part of me was still looking outside myself for an authority figure whom I could trust… a side effect, no doubt, of being raised in an authoritarian home, school, and religion.

    Then, while helping to set up the local Occupy camp back in 2011 I ventured to ask one of the other participants which news channel she watched. “I don’t watch any of them!” she shot back without a moment’s hesitation. Her response hit me like a cold bucket of water. “Yes, she’s right!”, I thought, “What the hell am I doing?” Old habits die hard, they say.

    My favorite Einstein/Chaplin quote:

    Not long after his arrival in America, his fame now widespread, Einstein was besieged by a crowd of admirers while riding in a car with Mr. Chaplin…

    Crowd shouting: “Einstein! Einstein! Einstein!”
    Einstein turns to Chaplin: “What does this all mean?”
    Chaplin: “It means nothing!”

    “The Ukrainian leader declared that “if China allies itself with Russia, there will be a world war”, which coincided with Blinken introducing this scenario into the global information ecosystem.”

    Translation: If China helps Russia we’re all gonna die and it’ll be China’s fault.
    Reality: China is already a Russian strategic partner thanks to NATO’s global hegemonic ambitions.

    Korybko’s essay has way too many references to Zelensky, as if he were actually a key decision maker in this conflict, rather than a theatrically trained version of Juan Guaidó. For example:

    “Macron’s interest in China’s peace plan directly stems from Zelensky’s, without whose potential participation nothing of tangible substance can be accomplished, but also from his country’s national interests too.”

    Macron taking his cues from Zelensky? Give me a break. That’s like world leaders standing by to see what Greta has to say about curbing carbon emissions.

    As always, my opinions should be used for entertainment value only, and should not be considered as investment advice.

    I’m a mediocre mathematician, but pretty good at pattern recognition. When I looked at the table I noticed that the result was a multiple of the number and its increment: x(x+1).

    Just watched the full Carlson/Dowd interview and enjoyed seeing Tucker beam with excitement as Ed touched on each step of his Covid/vax discovery process. “Me too!” Tucker kept shouting. Even when Ed mentioned how a life crisis propelled him toward a path of better physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health, Tucker had his own version of the same. They were like blood brothers.

    I appreciate that Mr. Dowd is a data man, and steers clear of speculation. He has his theories, I’m sure, but at this stage of the game he doesn’t want to give the enemy any ammunition to hurl back at him and his new book. I think it’s wise to let the data in his book speak for itself. Let them try to refute the data or find a foothold in attacking his character. Good luck with that. One only has to lift the veil on the excess deaths disaster before the ugly face of a coordinated global democide comes into full view.

    “It has long troubled me that the US feels compelled to try to re-form other countries’ governments in its own image. It seems like a form of conceit. Should not the people of a country be the ones to judge whether or not the form of their country’s government is appropriate?”

    Phoenix, this is the cover story that is blasted out by the media 24/7 to get the masses on board for any military/humanitarian operation… that we are planting the joys of freedom and democracy in backward nations so that they might blossom like inner-city Chicago, Philadelphia, and Allentown. I’m sure you’ve discovered by now that the US “image” of being a representative democracy is also a delusion. I read your comments. You know better than this.

    The Conquistadors operated under the cover story of bringing Christianity the heathens of Central and South America. The price, however, was tremendous slaughter and all the gold and silver Spain could extract using the indigenous as slave labor.

    American interventionism is similar. We ‘re-form’ governments in order attach our wealth extraction tentacles more firmly to the newly subjugated vassal state. Or in the case of Ukraine, to use it for money laundering and as a military proxy (cannon fodder) against Russia. What is it that Kissinger said, that “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal”?

    I’m hopeful, though, as it seems that over the past year many things are being stated aloud that were only whispered before. Putin’s latest speech and President Xi Jinping’s remarks being prime examples. The cover has been blown on social media censorship and the Covid plandemic. Ukraine has become an embarrassing albatross, each week pulling NATO lower and lower. The WEF has turned radio-active now that their idiotic philosophies have been unmasked, along with their goals for a planetary Hunger Games.

    Yes, the times are a changin’!
