Once you start noticing this it drives you crazy. For instance, there’s been a recent effort by tye media and democrats to attack Thomas and Alito for financial conflict of interest, revolving around stuff like going on vacation with rich friends. Meanwhile, pharma companies sign multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with *medical schools* and nobody bats an eye. I wrote about it here:

https://thefederalist.com/2023/03/02/big-pharma-is-unopposed-in-its-domination-of-medical-education/

As you can see in there, people used to care, media used to write big stories about it, then pharma spent even more money and much of it on media advertising, and poof, all the stories went away…

INDEED! Heck, I go on vaca with rich friends and fam. I’m not rich, but they love me! I’d imagine darn near all of Alito’s pals are well to do. “GRILL HIM!” (Not!) Fauci’s in bed with dozens for far more than vaca $$. “LOOK AWAY! IT’S NONE of your BUSINESS!”

I don't know what bad cat is talking about! It's all ethical! Nothing to see here! No ethical conflict, whatsoever! Mis/disinformation.! He's spreading vaccine hesitancy to report on this so irresponsibly!

So says Christine Grady, Chief Bioethicist at the NIH...and Anthony Fauci's wife:

https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/05/18/fauci-wife-authors-paper-supporting-vaccine-pressure-campaigns/

Writing papers about why everyone needs to take dangerous experimental biotech for protection against an illness most everyone, especially under 50, are at no risk of:

https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1057/s41271-022-00347-9.pdf

But her relationship with the CDC Director who makes millions of dollars from hawking dangerous experimental biotech to everyone, even those at literally zero risk of illness like under 18 is COMPLETELY ethical!:

https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a32715031/fauci-christine-grady-nih-covid/

They're just a happy couple helping Americans and the world, no ethical conflicts of interest, not even the appearance of any ethical conflicts of interest!:

https://youtu.be/pf2cVoP5mRs

And it's not just her, if you're thinking that because Fauci is her husband. She's backed up by one of the AMA's top ethicists! Big Pharma and Big Health's collaboration is Ethical!!

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/21/facebook-posts/Fact-check-Hospitals-COVID-19-payments/

"Julie Aultman, a member of the editorial board of the American Medical Association’s AMA Journal of Ethics, told PolitiFact it is "very unlikely that physicians or hospitals will falsify data or be motivated by money to do so." "There are strict policies for reporting and, quite frankly, healthcare workers are only focusing on helping their patients and doing as much as they can with little resources,""

So says Julie Aultman, prominent bioethicist for the AMA. So it must be true. No breach of ethics. Not even an appearance of an ethical conflict of interests.

Béla Hamvas wrote in 'René Guénon and the Metaphysics of Society' (1942):

’A few more words about the present: today, according to Guénon, we are at the end of the Kali-yuga (dark age), when gold sinks into matter, […] becomes smeared with blood and soil, which means that power and spirit, hierarchy and order—broken and humiliated—dissolves. Nothing follows this era.

It is impossible to sink deeper.

This is the apocalypse—which is acknowledged by the Vedas, the Eddas, the Egyptians, the Chinese, and the New Testament.

Modern man doesn’t want to take this seriously – they say it’s fantasy, religion, vision. And by not believing what was known 10,000 years ago, they fulfil their fate.

[…] traditional knowledge sees that the situation cannot be saved and a big epoch has been concluded.'

No, I don't think so. I think we have hit the end of the (Kali Yuga) cycle (2020) and are moving unbelievably slowly in to the next one.

What we are going through now is the lowest, most godless, decompositional phase, past even the vultures eating the lifeless bodies (WW2), maybe it's the mummified/dried out stage where family members don't even mourn their loved ones anymore.

Look deeply into human trafficking of all kinds, see the extent of the evil stalking us, from both the inside and the outside; it is stunning.

So wake up and pick a subject, and DO SOMETHING about it. That's the only way forward I can see.

My question is what will the new world be? I fear the totalitarian overreach of i stitutions, and the soulless effect of AI.

Expand full comment

I couldn't say for certain on the immediate future but all societies boom/bust cycles and investments are drawn up by the stars. We're definitely moving in to Aquarius, and air-based themes are everywhere, so the new world will line up with them- part of which is humanitarianism. So I don't fear the future, but admittedly my perspective is far from 'normal'...

Totalitarian overreach has been in effect for the last hundred- arguably thousand years. It's already done, they're simply exposing it now.

'Robot' (the word) was made up a hundred years ago to describe a person who blindly performed physical tasks without using their soul (mind and heart).

If someone took the vax and felt bad about it (/regretted it and followed up with an investigation) they walk the right path of burgeoning consciousness. Those who double down are programmed with AI and the ego will destroy itself.

AI exists as a tool for our benefit, there is more than one meaning for every popular media meme. Fear has to be overcome to see the reality.

The technology would not be as excellent as it is right now if they meant for nobody to get through but they need sane, conscious people, not sleepers, not nut-jobs who crack under pressure.

Yes, the government/pharma/Judeo-Christian system just shot up 2/3rds or more of their faithful death-pledgers. Yes, it's sick/criminally insane, but who would pay the slightest bit of attention if death wasn't staring them down?

Nothing can be understood unless the ancient traditional knowledge comes in to play. This is simply what happens in the Kali Yuga- a vast zodiacal cycle. Nothing new under the sun. 'Vanity, vanity, all is vanity...' The conscious kids'll be okay if they have faith and don't let the overseers drive them nuts.

A Midwestern Doctor wrote an interesting Substack post the other day about the observed phenomenon of organ transplant recipients sometimes manifesting characteristics that seem to be coming from the donors of the transplanted organs. In ClownWorld the notion of “soul” has been passé for quite a few years in many circles, although the word is very commonly used without any kind of deep curiosity as to why it is so common. One of his stories involved a heart recipient that, before the surgery, was very undeveloped in drawing skills, but after receiving the heart of someone who had been much more developed in that area, spontaneously began producing art work that was far advanced beyond their previous level of development. So it made me think of humanity as a crew of souls that, like hermit crabs, try to find a shell that “they can work with” for the time being, expressing as best they can what they are moved to with whatever shell they “are dealt.”

The swamp is just too deep and powerful. Marjorie Green is an excellent example of this. First term in Congress she’s spitting QAnon stuff, saying Sandy Hook was a hoax, etc. Mind you she was elected by a landslide with these positions. She aligns herself with Nick Fuentes, even speaks at his AFPAC conference. I mean, she’s promoting Nicholas J. Fuentes the legend.

Fast forward two years, second term. TWO YEARS. She denounces Nick. She starts riding McCarthys stick. She flipped to an establishment lackey. In. Two. Years. She could have not possibly been more anti establishment when she was first elected. And it took two years for her to join the uniparty. DC has its ways. Same thing can be said for AOC on the left...basically the same thing.

No one has a chance against the system, it’s too big and too powerful. The only chance that I see is a Pinochet style military takeover followed by a hell of a lot of chopper rides. We seem to be lacking good candidates at the moment however.

That Aesop quote reminds me of the Stalin (mis)quote:

“The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.” (https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2011/0603/Political-misquotes-The-10-most-famous-things-never-actually-said/The-death-of-one-man-is-a-tragedy.-The-death-of-millions-is-a-statistic.-Josef-Stalin)

Something about the human brain causes empathy to decrease with scale rather than the inverse. The grander the deceit and the higher the death toll, the less people pay attention. But an anecdotal story about an individual suffering an injustice can get the world up in arms. I’m not saying the latter is bad; I’m just saying the numbness toward mass casualties and crimes by comparison is how atrocities become routine.

I agree with you from the perspective of the individual versus the mob, certainly. To quote George Carlin:

“People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a ‘common purpose.’ ’Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs. And a list of people they're going to visit at 3 am. So, I dislike and despise groups of people but I love individuals. Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you’re really looking.”

That said, a million deaths represents a million individuals, so it is very different from a hypnotized mob mobilized to massacre those individuals.

It is not, however, a great leap of intellect to recognize that each individual making up the collective statistic is a living, breathing human being with family, friends, dreams and ideas, with all the capacity you and your loved ones have for fear, pain, loss, and despair.

For me the callousness, or obliviousness of many towards the destruction we are witnessing is inexplicable.

I went through the turbulent 60s, as a child, and trust me, the youth of that time, and many adults were furious at the wrongs they were witnessing.

I believe that since that time intelligence agencies and others have intentionally -

Dumbed down American education.

Injured the entire child population with highly toxic and dangerous injections.

Morally injured our society in a host of ways, pornography, full term abortions, sexual abuse, children raised on violance, etc. Plus the worshipping of Mamon.

And finally, we are anesthetized.

Flouride + EMR + Heavy Metals.

Dulled. Drained. And Psy-Oped.

So, to wake up and shake it all off is very difficult. But worth the effort for then you can comprehend the importance of just holding awareness.

Mattias Desmet is the best voice imho explaining how to break through that trance so many are in currently.

We need to continue to tell the truth. No matter what.

Worked in DoD Acquisition for many years. We had to report every stock holding, every royalty, every source of income. And, these were held to be conflicts-of-interest in working with any company from which we received money. Recusal was the required practice. Hiding connections resulted in prosecution. The DoD rules should be applied at CDC, FDA, NIH, etc.

And all other federal agencies.

Honestly, until hearing about these criminals, I thought the same rules applied to all Federal employees. Everybody I met or worked with had the same or similar rules. In fact, we were basically told we couldn’t even allow them to buy us dinner. The rule was: No more than $20 worth in any one day, no more than $50 in a year from any prohibited source. Basically coffee and donuts at a meeting were the limit. Usually we threw in a $20 bill to repay that.

The entire enterprise on the Potomac is designed to use other people's money to generate profits for "decision makers." The WEF refers to these parasites as "stakeholders." Losses are foisted on the public while profits are retained by stakeholders. This was the entire action in 2008 with bank and wall street bailouts. The Tea Party arose to oppose this fact. The Sheeple were quickly told, by the criminal parasites, that what it really was was 'racism!!" This word is hypnotism to the Sheeple. They know it means they are safe, can continue pretending they are the good guys, and nothing will threaten them because "racism" is known to be fake and reassuring. The enemy of the Sheeple is reality. They will avoid it at all cost. They adore the Distractors who rescue them from truth.

Sheeple cannot face the reality that their parental substitutes, i.e. government, are malignant degenerates. To acknowledge this obvious fact means they cannot enjoy their lives, and all they have worked for is at risk. They therefore seek, like most, to appease the aggressor with the false hope they will go away or destroy someone else. The crocodile will eat them last.

Ah Yes indeed. And the 2nd (I think it's the 2nd) law explains so much of our 21st c.

O'Sullivan's Law would properly attribute one of the sentiments. Namely that organizations taking money for doing nothing almost always end up becoming socialist. *shrugs*

Conquest bundled the three and adds a very important 1st Law - maybe should be the 0th Law: Everyone is conservative about what he knows best. It speaks to the motivations behind all policy.

Many, initially. Bureaucracy is kind of like having the genes for getting a huge pot-belly from being both gourmand and gourmet: you need to employ self-discipline, restraint and to continously work off your excess intake of food.

Sadly, what inevitably happens (and this is true for any bureaucracy, private or public, anytime and anywhere) is that the bureaucracy itself becomes its own goal, rather than it being a mechanism for actually getting things correctly allocated, monitored and executed.
