If a state can present its power as legitimate in the eyes of others, it will encounter far less resistance to its foreign policies and agendas. Further, if the Western states’ (non) culture and (illusory) ideology are desirable, other states will more willingly acquiesce. This is an area where the NGOs excel. They do so by never referring to their own “leaders” as dictators or fascists, yet more than willing to apply these derogatory terms to leaders targeted for regime change. Simultaneously, while reporting on human rights abuses or environmental violations in states exploited by industrialized capitalism, the NGOs neglect to comment on their own states’ escalating assault on “democracy.” Most important, the non-profit industrial complex certainly does not address the fact that industrialized and globalized capitalism (imposed by hegemonic rule) is the crux of most all suffering and ongoing crisis in the very states they criticize and deem culpable. A continuous subtle undertone of support/belief in their own states’ democracy is achieved simply by never opening a dialogue on the legitimacy of power structures within their own (imperialist) states.
This from somewhere on this site: https://www.theartofannihilation.com/
When looking for an NGO to support search the above site to see if it isn’t without influence by the ones that hate us proles. Hint: follow the money. While a lot of the folks on the ground believe they are altruistic the direction over all generally isn’t. Charity starts at home.@veracious-poet
Except most people have no working knowledge concerning “Natural Law”, not even a clue, left to their finite mental acuity to “imagine” what “rights” are ~ In my first-hand experience with 10,000s of sheeple, they mostly “imagine rights” are created + allowed by “The State”…Exactly my point, I would say very nearly ALL people believe this. The rights are different in every country and no one seems to think this is a problem. Which leads back to imagination. Rights for me but not for thee. An innate sense of right and wrong doesn’t seem to enter into the thought process. How does one go about breaking such an illusion with any meaningful number of people? Oh well………squirrel!

Satisfaction? Contentment might be a better thing to look out for. Find contentment in things that take up your time without maximizing your spending. I spend a lot of time in my gardens during the season and also fly fishing, both require little in the way of expensive or ongoing financial inputs after initial start up costs. They don’t need replacement parts very often, not counting the flies that a person can destroy or lose, I have garden tools I use regularly that my grandfather used when I was just a little toe rag following him around the garden. He was born in 1892! some still have the wooden handles in them I watched him create out of an ash log on his draw bench with his draw knife, both of which I still have. I have to rebuild the draw bench as it is getting too wobbly now and is a bit small for me any how.@veracious-poet
Where do rights come from again?
Human imagination.New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli commented: “To protect the state pension fund, we are restricting investments in companies that we believe are unprepared to adapt to a low-carbon future.”
Or all but a couple have yet to produce a profit. Cut and run. No profit at $100/per barrel either because of lost sales at that nose bleed level.

You want to change the system stop using it as much as possible. I’ve spent most of my adult life looking for ways to participate within it as little as possible. I have spent most of my time raising our own food on a mostly bouldery piece of land. We trade/barter or buy with cash as much as possible. My daughter is lactose intolerant and this wasn’t discovered until she left home for university, goats milk mostly up till then. Doctors were stumped at first, they figured that would have been discovered very early on, (haven’t seen it so doesn’t happen) sound familiar? Have my own wood lot which produced the lumber for the four homes I have built over this time. Had a small turn down mill of my own and traded logs for lumber for some of it. Stop using big banks, head for the credit union, a little less evil maybe. Protesting the multi-nationals and international institutions has done what, exactly. Meaningful protest comes from the wallet. Pay as little tax as humanly possible and trade/barter locally as much as possible it keeps the transaction off the books so to say. I spent several years working in a liaison committee with our provincial government to clean up a major chemical spill at the head waters of a local river, PCP’s. All volunteer time for those of us on the civic side. The river system was closed to catch and keep fishing and we were told at the time that after we got a clean bill off health for the fish we would be able to keep a few again for a fry up. We got that clean bill almost twenty years ago, still can’t keep a trout to eat and the deputy minister, you know the unelected bureaucrat, has said repeatedly at public meetings it’s because of the PCP’s. Bold face lies and you think a bunch of virtue signalling is going to do anything meaningful besides make you feel good. How has that worked out for you? You want change? Change the way you live first. Don’t play the game as much as you can. Walk as often as possible, don’t drive, grow or purchase from local growers all you can preserve for the coming off season. Smoke, dry, pickle, can, freeze, salt do whatever you can do, for yourself. That is about as strong a statement as us serfs can make. I don’t even have a phone anymore, you want me send an email or come find me. If I’m not on the property my wife can tell you where to find me or when I’m expected back. Protesting the multi-whatever’s is nothing more than virtue signalling. The CEO’s see this and just laugh it off or worse they find a way to exploit it for financial gain. Any how good luck getting a large enough group together that have the same values front to back, top to bottom as yourself. Even the tyrants can’t do that. You will most likely end up as myself, an army of one.@dbentonsmith

Yes, that’s right, New Normal Canada has been invaded and now is under siege by hordes of transphobic Putin-Nazi truckers, racist homophobes, anti-Semitic Islamaphobes, and other members of the working classes!
According to the corporate media, these racist, Russia-backed, working-class berserkers are running amok through the streets of Ottawa,
waving giant “swastika flags, (Guardian)
”defecating on war memorials,
sacking multi-million-dollar “soup kitchens,”
and eating the food right out of homeless people’s mouths.

Remember, just this once, ADDRESS THE DATA. That’s what this in the end game. Data. Data to follow you, watch you, assign you your monthly credits to spend however wherever. Opps you were sick three days this month and spent credits down at the race track, you will have three days worth of credits removed from next months allotment. Should have spent those credits at the pharmacy. Gotcha! Several European countries have stated that the vax-pass won’t be enforced but they want to keep the QR code for one year. One year? Sure thing. Then what? Just abolish it after spending all that effort and resources to get up and running? Explain please. Data! We don’t need no stinking data. The talking points of the globalists do their level best to keep the damning parts buried. However their narcissism lets enough talking points out every time they open their mouths that the direction of travel is quite apparent. Ultimate control. Step out of line and its ostracize. A little different in these times compared to medieval times. No other kingdom to flee toward. Things are moving faster than expected. I may have heard that phrase somewhere else. The truck issue is a good example of TPTB missing a critical data point in their “models” of how this should play out.They need trucking as well and maybe more so in order to keep their side of the narrative afloat. Models don’t work well as a map but as a general direction assuming you have most of the inputs in it. The best laid plans of mice and men. I think I heard that before as well. Altruism is fine at the individual level and can be maintained with due diligence in small gatherings. In a medium to large crowd it would seem not. Individualism being what it is. Can’t get all those data points in this damn model.

‘Bad bots’ make up nearly two-fifths of all internet traffic
The report, titled Bot attacks: Top Threats and Trends – Insights into the growing number of automated attacks, also included a breakdown of bad bot traffic by location. It revealed that North America accounts for 67% of bad bot traffic, followed by Europe (22%) and then Asia (7.5%).
Interestingly, the European bot traffic was more likely to come in from hosting services (VPS) or residential IPs than the North American traffic, most of which originated from public data centres.
Skimming through the following it’s a lovely utopia described, except no mention of the energy source required for powering it. https://www.iftf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/downloads/ourwork/IFTF_Hyperconnected_World_2020.pdf
from the intro:
Simply put, this world means more data, more devices, and more interactions between the two. A
hyperconnected world will support up to 1 million devices per square kilometer of coverage area,
orders of magnitude more than the 60,000 devices currently possible with 4G LTE networks. Sensor
devices will become omnipresent—20.4 billion devices embedded with connected sensors will be
operative this year alone. In this future, the very definition of scale itself will change—instead of
billions of devices, the world will support hundreds of billions, or possibly trillions. The total amount
of data produced in human history, already doubling every two years, is likely to double every six
months. While the figures are impressive, less thought has been given to what this world will look like,
and what the positive and negative effects of hyperconnection are likely to be—until now. The goal of
this report is to forecast the hyperconnected world.Reading through this : https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_The_Global_Risks_Report_2022.pdf
I came upon this little nugget which is sounding like one world government would be best and of course it looks like climate change is set to be the new boogie man, not to diminish the problem but the way it will be played remains to be seen. Best guesses anyone?
Overreaching or underdelivering: Consequences for governments
Government at all levels faces mounting responsibilities and many are struggling to uphold their end of the digital social contract: securing critical infrastructure; addressing threats to “epistemic security” from disinformation; protecting the integrity of civic processes and public services; legislating against cybercrime; training and educating populaces around cyber literacy; regulating digital service providers;
and ensuring the availability of resources, such as rare-earth minerals, for the digital economy. The necessary oversight could lead to overreach as governments move to shut down systems, erect higher digital barriers or embark on digital colonization (by monopolizing digital systems) for geopolitical ends.49 While such actions might carry the ostensible goal of reducing attacks and disruption, these policies
could quickly become a vehicle for oppression. Already suffering from a loss in public trust as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, governments may face further societal anger if they are unable to both keep up with the shifting threat landscape and responsibly manage these challenges.Just finished reading Tom Murphy’s latest at https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2021/12/dont-look-surprised/#more-2192. Yes it’s his critic about the movie “Don’t look up”. Now he states early on that he is no film reviewer and it shows. What I found interesting is his take on algorithms: “One of the most comedic elements in the movie surrounded the algorithmic prediction of the manner of one’s death—playing off the scary amount of data “big tech” collects about many aspects of our personal lives. In one case (Mindy), the algorithm was perfectly wrong, and in the other case (the President), it was impossibly (and hilariously) correct. The reason to bring it up is that I think many folks place too much faith in algorithms, without fully understanding the “garbage in, garbage out” caution. In this context, think of algorithms as providing the rules to navigate a flow chart. If it’s not on the flow chart, the algorithm won’t send you there.The algorithm in the movie actually got it wrong for 8 billion people, because a planet-killing comet was not present on the flow chart.” I brig this up because he is on record as adamantly pro vax. From an earlier post he wrote this in regards to a conversation with a neighbour:
“Vaccinations”
Approaching Chip on the street by his truck, I announced that I was vaccinated but would put on my wrist-strapped mask if he wished. After I handed him a jar of honey that he tasted and admired, he said that his wife just got her second vaccination shot, and was feeling terrible. To him, this only fueled the concern that COVID vaccinations were a bad idea.
I responded by enthusiastically describing how cool the vaccination idea was: growing coronavirus-mimicking spike proteins on your arm’s muscle cells to train up your immune system to recognize and destroy them. The second shot was the immune system’s first chance to mount a massive defense of its newly trained army against a deluge of enemy spikes, which brought with it the usual side effects of a full-press immune response: fatigue, aches, elevated temperature. It means it’s working well, and a good sign that any real coronavirus will be ripped to shreds at first entry—the response not even being noticeable compared to the reaction spurred by a massive buildup of second-dose spikes. I praised the innovation involved in the novel technique, and the robustness against variants by attacking this external feature that is part of its mechanism for latching onto body tissues.”
I guess no one told him it was a lot of A.I. and best guesses doing the work. The post was back at the end of June 2021.You are absolutely correct V. There are many, many issues more important! This really isn’t about a virus, it’s so much more.
Many economists have pointed out that the global GDP has been rising comparatively faster than energy consumption. Optimistically, they argue that we are witnessing a steady “decoupling” of the economy from its basic environmental needs.
Unfortunately, this comparison is deeply misleading: GDP represents the accumulated production of worth over an arbitrary period of just one year; meanwhile, energy is required to sustain the activities of a civilization that has been built up over all of history, over every year. Systems have inertia; big systems especially so: current energy consumption is far more tied to maintaining the fruits of centuries of collective effort than to the national vagaries of a single prior year. We cannot erase the past; it is always with us.
Thanks P47. That makes more sense now. I gotta stop doing math problems when I first get up. Wait until I’ve had at least one tea!

https://www.globalresearch.ca/does-the-virus-exist-the-sars-cov-2-has-not-been-isolated-biggest-fraud-in-medical-history/5752066When asked if the booster dose caused the death of elders who had previously had COVID-19, Zhang refused to give a clear answer: “It’s a really tricky question. When a senior in a nursing home dies, how do you say it was the vaccine or not the vaccine [that caused the death]?”
A postmortem might help with that.
I just did some numbers: 8.49 billion divided by 365 = approx. 2.39 billion divided by 24 = approx. 96.9 million divided by 60 = approx 1.61 million divided again by 60 = approx. 26,921 thousand per second for one year. So the manufactures have produced and distributed 8.49 billion jabs in less than one year. Does this sound right or was there some already to go before January of 2021?
Last one today :
The devolving of physical relationships and whole societies, up against an accelerating, digitalized, virtual world is not a social dilemma. The leveraging of COVID-19, waged as a weapon against the citizenry, is not a social dilemma. Rather, this is the strategic destruction of the social. A social dismantling. A social deliquesce. A social nightmare.For the Fourth Industrial Revolution to take hold, our global society must be socially engineered to accept, even prefer an artificial existence over that of a physical one. The saturation of the collective psyche with language and framing such as “tech for good” is strategic, a key method and means of obtaining the social license required for the Fourth Industrial Revolution “great reset”. The “watch dogs” put forward as reassurance to assuage a growing anxiety, thus a growing threat of backlash, serve not society, but the hand that feeds.
Physical is dangerous, digital is safe. Humans are lethal, technology is benign. Masks assist in dehumanising the human body. The conditioning for avoidance of human intimacy. Children learning not to touch. Nature is both separate and zoonotic – stay home, stay safe. Our deteriorating social fabric, already eroded from social media, and technology at large, has been doused with gasoline. It burns in silence behind a veil of willful blindness. Both isolated and detached from the physical presence of one another, and nature herself, we are in freefall. Remains of relationships in piles of invisible ashes.
More from my previous link :
On February 5, 2018, “Common Sense” partnered with the Center for Humane Technology for the “Truth About Tech” Campaign “in response to escalating concerns about digital addiction”. Common Sense reported USD 19 million+ revenue in 2015. Major funders include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Marc Benioff. In September 2017, Center for Humane Technology funder Knight Foundation announced a USD 2.5 million investment in projects that address “a declining trust in media in the internet age.” [Source] Many continue to identify this increasingly familiar pattern as co-optation. It is not. Rather, it has become the preferred method of public relations. Create a movement, appoint a spokesperson to fulfill the role of “leader”. For pennies on the dollar, billionaires are channelling millions to organisations framed as opposition. Ruling class sanctioned “critics”, rewarded with media exposure celebrity and access, have become the most effective means of smothering the “techlash flames” and a growing distrust of corporate power. A poorly understood genre of effective crisis communications management, this strategy has proven to be deadly efficient.

In the same way that Greta Thunberg never touches upon the sought financialization of nature, global in scale (expected to be implemented in 2021), instead serving as the very face of the campaign; in the same way that Thunberg does not shine an imperative light on militarization as a key driver of climate change, the Center for Humane Technology, which highlights climate change as a key concern, makes no mention of the massive and growing carbon footprint by the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector [A look at this growth is extensively detailed further in this series]. In the same way that Thunberg remains silent on the roll-out of 5G (the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks), adding additional layers of threats to biodiversity and all living life forms, including human, neither does the Center for Humane Technology. 5G is, unequivocally, the very foundation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, launched to the public as “the great reset”. Without 5G, the Fourth Industrial Revolution architecture, as sought by the ruling class, will collapse like a house of cards. These deliberate omissions represent the most egregious form of climate denialism that goes largely unchallenged. To call for humane technology while making no mention of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is an impossible oversight. We are being conditioned to accept, and even demand, the very infrastructure and said “solutions” that the states, serving the ruling classes, wish to impose on us. This is social engineering en masse.“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons…who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

“There is no longer a unifying narrative that is going to crack and be replaced by a better, more truthful narrative. Rather, there is now only a seemingly infinite number of sub-narratives with a dominant narrative imposed over them.
Truth is and always was abstract at best. It is viewed/seen differently from every witness.

Study finds Covid Vaccines increase the risk of Heart Attack by 127%
A few days after these ominous results came out, a whistleblower and researcher from a different group contacted Dr Aseem Malhotra to say that in imaging studies they have found inflammation in the coronary arteries after vaccination. But they decided not to publish this yet because they are afraid of losing future grant money from the drug industry. The whistleblower was quite upset about this. Understandably.
