i think A LOT of "normal" folks have had a similar experience.
i had just about zero interest in politics, society shaping, or these grand public fights for the zeitgeist before 2020.
i think many of the "builder" class were similar but based on about 1000 conversations i've had with friends and colleagues, the lions are awake now and their attention has shifted.
Absolutely. I begrudgingly voted for trump 9 minutes before the polls closed in 2016 out of pure guilt and had decided not to vote at all in 2020. At this point I am enraged. Especially when it comes to my children.
You can always vote third party. No, your candidate isn't going to win, but at least he or she will show the others how to lose gracefully and you know that your vote isn't going to be involved in all the shenanigans surrounding the two major players. Besides if enough people vote third party it may send a message to the two majors.
But you still will get, what we got. --- What message does it send? That the 3rd party is out numbered? That they've pissed some people off, but not enough to matter?
I’ve been a bit cranky for a couple of decades before 2020. No I’m simply pissed. Thanks for your writing. Great stuff as it’s instructive and amusing simultaneously. I need to have humor in my life to keep me sane.
Leftists encroachment in all key social structures, including federal agencies and public institutions supposed to be apolitical have turned American society into defacto a totalitarian society.
One by one, they are coming around. My two agnostic business partners (for >35 years) now admit the possibility of 'evil.' There is simply no other way to explain this; it is the fruit of Satan, played out over the past centuries and now coming to a head. We cannot pretend that what is happening in the world is unintentional; it is clearly with malice aforethought and the participants, the 'leaders,' the WEF's YGLs: Satan's handmaids.
Gato is right: things are about to change. The pendulum is swinging back. As Revelation tells us, Satan wins the appearance of some victories along the way, but God wins in the end. Are we there yet or are there decades or centuries more to endure? Only God knows the answer.
Meanwhile we must fight against evil at every opportunity. Prayer is powerful; it takes power from Satan and gives it to God. Oppose evil wherever you find it. Stand for good. Speak out against evil. Witness your faith to those you encounter; Satan hates it!
Even those of us who (like myself) call ourselves agnostic or atheist most likely acknowledge that good and evil exist. Where we part company with the theist is the origin of those. The Theist claims a supernatural realm, Heaven and Hell, with God and Satan respectively, waging spiritual warfare. Us secularists in contrast, note that concepts such as "good" and "evil" are entirely human abstractions. By that, we mean that absent human beings, concepts such as "good" and "evil" have no referent or existence in the material universe. If that be true, then no matter where you looked in the universe, you will not find the "thing in itself" called Good, Evil, Love, or, for that matter, the number 42. Those things do exist, but on in human consciousness.
Now don't get me wrong; those abstractions still potentially have value. Even my favorite thinker, Nietzsche, no Bible thumper himself, and skeptic of morality par excellence said (approximately) he'd would be a fool to deny that what we call "moral" is generally good for man, while "immoral" generally results in bad.
Even Jesus's teaching may hint at this. Consider his statement that God sends rain on both the good and the evil. The context was (I'm assuming, obviously) that God watered the fields of everyone regardless of their observance. Now consider the issue from a strictly worldly viewpoint: In any given area, the rains fall without taking into account the [lack of] faith of the farmer. A drought or a flood is a disaster of course, but the good and the evil will get the same treatment. God may play favorites, but Nature surely does not.
This ties in with a critical dichotomy in philosophy probably best illustrated in Plato's allegory of the cave. There are (at least) two realities. Plato's "apparent" reality is what I call the real world, which we perceive via our senses. Confusingly, Plato dubbed the mental world the "real," but I'd call it the abstract. Plato and his followers value his "real" above the "apparent." Platonic reality has given us numerous nice things -- mathematics, geometry, the sciences. All those require thought, logic and analysis. We're also blessed by rich imagination which gives us fiction, stories, the arts and so on. But a critical distinction exists between the "real" and the "apparent." The human imagination has few, if any limits. It can create elaborate systems of belief poorly grounded in reality, or even contradictory in their own right. The infinite variations on political or religious systems well illustrate this fact. In contrast, that mysterious outside "apparent" world's laws are set by powers not subject to our control. In many cases, man has been able to model that world to an extraordinary degree. We often call those "scientific theories." When successful, they provide descriptive and predictive value. Here's a crucial point: they are purely mental creations. Another brain might have produced a "theory" that was absurd, at least in the sense that it failed when modeling the "apparent" world.
Note that the "modeling" the brain does by no means has to be formal logical or scientific reasoning. Our brains have been described as an organ whose primary purpose is to provide a reasonable facsimile, a model of outside reality that our organism must apprehend by our senses and interact with. Otherwise life would be impossible.
Put into blunt terms, one of mankind's greatest failings is thinking he can just make up shit and then hope to impose it on the real world. The real world just doesn't work that way. I suspect that virtually all of mankind's greatest disasters can be attributed to some variant of this phenomenon.
It turns out that our interactions with the outside world are much more successful when we learn and obey its laws, rather than impose our own whims upon it.
Thanks for the comment. Two things I find particularly interesting in your post: the distinction between 'real' and 'apparent,' and 'imposing our shit on the real world.'
Nowhere is the distinction between real and apparent less distinct that in the field of quantum physics. There, the human mind creates models with no apparent connection to the physical world. Nonetheless, these models can predict things that nobody knew before. As Neils Bohr, one of the creators of quantum mechanics, said: "Prediction is difficult, especially about the future." Translation: It is hard enough to create a model that is consistent with things we already know. It is much harder to create a model that not only is consistent with things we know, but correctly predicts things we do not yet know. Just look at 'climate science,' for example. The models create the predictions the designers want them to, without regard for the apparent (physical) world. Yet predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity are still being confirmed, over 100 years after he first published the theory.
As for imposing our views on others without regard to reality, there is no better example than modern government. Politicians regularly create 'laws' that ignore the laws of physics and the laws of economics. The results are, predictably, catastrophic. Some catastrophes are larger than others, but as Scotty said, "You cannot change the laws of physics, Captain."
The laws of physics and economics, as we know them, were elucidated by man observing the world around us. Sure as the sun rises in the morning, you can't set a price ceiling below the market-clearing price without causing a shortage. The law of supply and demand is inviolate; it is based on the sum of human action on a society-wide level. Politicians regularly ignore these realities, at their own peril. Sometimes they manage to hang on to power through the power of physical force -- truckers in Canada, for instance -- and sometimes they do not. The show is about to get interesting.
...prayer of supplication (please please please) is far inferior to prayer of gratitude (thank you thank you thank you).
The former requires the supplicant hold in mind to some degree that which is troubling and which they wish to change. Nothing wrong with desiring change for the better. Not at all what I’m trying (badly?) to express.
The flip side, gratitude, requires the pray-er to hold simultaneously in mind and heart an uplifting picture and feeling, which “eliminates” the picture and feeling of what one wishes to change.
See the difference?
The latter is more powerful. It’s akin to, Be the change you wish to see in the world.
We can’t push aside what’s in our face 24/7, but... in prayer, if you shift into thank you thank you thank you -for 10 seconds at a traffic light, better than no shift occurring- that energy (everything is energy: Einstein) will find resonance. Millions and billions of people shifting around the globe? For 10 seconds here and there? And longer on their knees (in gratitude) or in quiet time? THAT, that unison, will find resonance, will manifest, will collapse the wave more quickly than the dual (supplication with presence in mind of the trouble).
Quantum. My understanding. And anecdotal experience.
Again, for your consideration. I got no answers. Satan / evil does find them uplifting feelins repellent tho. It needs the fear to survive. Why else would “they” persist so relentlessly in stirring it?
More light! More heartfelt brotherhood-sisterhood! More gratitude for each other and what we are achieving, millimeter by millimeter! We’re getting there. Not without pain, have to acknowledge that and all else ugly. But might I encourage more frequent shift into thank you thank you thank you? (Also not sayin it’s easy, just a more effective tactic in the battle for the souls of humankind.)
Interesting, I was praying to God this morning at 4 am, crying and walking to work just praying for this to all be over. Of course once I entered my daily “normal routine” I wasn’t so bothered by the actual nightmare we are going to be going through if we don’t stop complying…people continue to live their lives normally but many are awake because it CANT be ignored. Thanks for all you do btw way kitty, much appreciate it through these times. Have you seen INSIDE btw? Marc C. Miler suggested it. It hits on what you are talking about. Cheers
My bad. I posted in the wrong place. I was replying (or trying to) to Gato Malo saying things are about to change:
“i think many of the "builder" class were similar but based on about 1000 conversations i've had with friends and colleagues, the lions are awake now and their attention has shifted.
None of the perps are communists, Marxists, socialists, populists, anarchists or any such thing.
They are all ardent capitalists operating within the logic of capitalism and have been doing so for decades.
Understand the historical trajectory of how we got here. The nascent bio-security state started as far back as the mythical AIDS crisis of the 1990's and has developed into what we see today. The many steps along the way included most of the same institutions (and individuals) that are involved in the Covid scam and none of these are communist/socialist etc. in their origins.
Another aspect that gets ignored in the "blaming" of CCP/communists is that the perps who are mainly responsible for these crimes are let off the hook when blame gets assigned to China e.g.. Those individuals, including Chinese financiers, have absolutely zero allegiance to any national identity.
While China is certainly a part of the global bio-security machinery circa 2020 it is not the primary mechanism. The primary power moving the world towards totalitarianism lies in international institutions that are decidedly controlled by Western actors.
"Covid19", the 4th Industrial Revolution and Great Reset are all massive frauds to create a series of monopolies, cartels and oligopolies that govern food, energy, healthcare and the most basic parts of our lives. The plan is for a new phase of global capitalism- enabled by national states and governments, international organisations and quangos (EU, UN, NATO, IMF, WTO, WHO, Gates, GAVI)- with no clear lines between state and non-state actors.
As an aside none of the actors involved are communists. Anyone who thinks George Gao, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, Mario Draghi, Macron, etc. are communists needs to rethink that position.
It is NOT capitalism. It is fascism--government-control of industry. We might call it capitalism, but it stopped being so 100 or 150 years ago with the creation of the first gov't-controlled oversight board. Calling it capitalism is like calling Joe Biden our leader.
Not quite control, but began as capture and evolved to collaboration. The definition of fascism is public-private partnership — in truth, I think “government” is largely irrelevant. What we have is the administrative state (hired, not elected, to include particularly the intelligence/surveillance agencies) cooperating with corporations to advance agendas that advance their power and profit. The damage to the rest of us is immaterial.
When the money is fake, the entire economy is fake. It's only taken them 50 or so years to completely ruin the dollar after dropping the last link to gold.
You’ve let the Left define your words, so that they have no meaning. “Capitalism” is nothing more than “choice”, free, mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services between two actors. You’re seeing “totalitarianism”.
The capitalist comes to you with a hamburger. "If you like what I have I will exchange it for the fair value of what you have." The Fascist comes to you with a gun."Give me your hamburger."
Capitalist's are not interested in fair value they are interested in use value.
Here's where it is illustrative that these discussions in substack threads are near impossible as most do not have even a basic grasp of fundamental terms and their meanings hence the confusion.
First of all, that's insulting, and probably intentionally so. You and I may not agree on a definition, but it is absolute sophistry to claim that a difference of opinion gives you the right to claim others have no right to speak. And while we're there, you should learn the true function of the apostrophe in English grammar.
Yet unfettered capitalism will lead to monopoly. Just how much choice does a consumer have then, other than the vacuous case of having the right to buy or not, a perhaps critical need (e.g. food, water?)
You will note that in many areas, government has declared legal monopolies or at least highly limited competition. I"m not referring to duties that traditionally are government's (e.g. the court system), but things like regulated public utilities. These usually private corporations but heavily controlled. And in return for that monopoly market, government usually takes away most freedom of association (what little remains) of that corporation. In practice, that means they must accept all customers who meet some minimum standard (e.g. pay their bill). Major point: what I've just described might be called a real-world compromise. It's not the pure capitalism that exists mostly in theory, nor is it pure communism/socialism. At least in more rational times, it was decided that a "private" company doesn't have the right to cut off electric, water or sewer because they don't like your political views, your race, your religion, etc.
You don't have background I do. Commies took out Catholic Church, because Catholic Church was only institution on earth that could stop them. We still will... and there's only 200k of us, virtually no property, a handful of Bishops. In Texas, one rental property and 1 Church, 1 resident priest.
Commies can dress up however they want. Six played dress up pope since 1958.
And idiots around the world call these bitches Holy Father.
In end game capitalist monopolies and communism look pretty similar as we can now see. Who really cares what we call it, most people here seem to know the essence of it.
And commies control governments, they become the government.
Capitalists have some control over governments, much sometimes, but please, can one person provide one pre Mar 2020 where Capitalists have killed 1 million in a country? Just one freaken example?
Indirectly, yes. Ever heard of the military-industrial complex? There are a century (or more) of wars in which the US (and other nations) arms and related industries made a fortune, with deaths well into the millions, combination of the home and the away teams. We can argue which of these wars were "just," but that changes my observation not in the least.
And while I won't argue them right now, there are rational arguments to be made in certain cases for (or against) monopolies. And government force, too. Disagree? Anarchy doesn't work very well, and there are plenty of examples (especially) in history, or even in the modern world, to lend weight to that assertion.
Fascism or Corporatism probably are more accurate. Such definitions have much overlap; even experts will argue them. And I doubt anyone here is an expert! As the occasional critic may note, "pure" capitalism, communism, etc. has never really existed; perhaps they CAN'T exist in pure form.
If that observation is true, then it's unlikely that Fascism can exist as "pure" either. This is my attempt at clarification: Imagine the USA in the days of (nearly) unfettered capitalism. Surely there was "partnership" between Capital and government: campaign contributions, bribery, etc. Now imagine today's USA: there is far more government power and (in theory at least) control over business. Yet there is clearly a strong partnership between private money and government: again, those lavish campaign contributions, but also many flows of money, many of them legal even if of questionable ethics. In both systems there was some partnership. Perhaps in the modern time, we could say there is more regulation "in theory" but in fact Capital merely pays more "user fees" (bribes, if you prefer) to government for their "services."
Yes, there is a lot of theory here. But may I point out that at least sometimes, ideas have consequences? Do you think that the computer you're reading this on, the network that delivers the data, or indeed, nearly anything made by the hands of man, just magically fell out of the sky?
Agree. But there is often an "-ism", or some other aspect of theory/knowledge, behind that pathology. This doesn't mean you have to know everything, which of course is impossible. But a wide knowledge gives one more power to understand the phenomena, good or bad, one experiences in the world.
Thank you. It irritates me so much when people simplistically blame everything on "communism." Kindergarten-level thinking that does not take our own history into account or even what communism actually is.
Hagge, Explain Bella Dodd, Permanent Instructions of Alta Vendita, the takedown of Catholic Church. Why did they do it?
It bothers me that people don't delve into fact that Vatican is captive of freemasonry and commies.
And you almost certainly won't look into it.
You'll look for a natural cause, a natural solution. Just like 99.999 per cent of spiritually blind on these substacks. And you're the best critical thinkers, except only on natural level
Communism and freemasonry are mortal enemies of Catholic Church.
Communism is basically ape of Catholic Church... I am not being precise...but
It is inspired by Satan. Satan wants souls and people dying en masse while Catholic Church is in eclipse is great way fir this. People not Catholic in faith and morals dying suddenly. Thus is most likely 3rd Secret of Fatima. Great Apostasy, Great Deception, great chastisement. This ain't about $$$
Past time. They're killing children. They have plans for putting you, me in death camps. We're high on the list, as we are resisting their Commie Program.
As a doctor, heck a prior military doctor, I now agree wholeheartedly. When you look at leadership of military medicine today, Head of DHA, surgeon general of AF, SG of Army and there is not a doctor amongst them.. just a lab rat and two nurses. You realize it is nothing but a foundering woke experiment. Don't get sick, be very afraid when you go to the hospital and see the very young doctor, sweating and you can read his/her mind.. I don't have a clue what to do.... But we 70 yrs old docs cannot practice forever.
Communism and freemasonry are the drivers. They had to take our Catholic Church. 1958. Permanent Instructions of Alta Vendita, Bella Dodd.
Commies have always sought world domination.
Global totalitarianism in no way is incompatible with this, but it's Commies and freemasonry. Commies seek total control. And top Commies don't believe in helping anyone but themselves.
AND CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL BEAT THEM DOWN. even though 1 in 6000 self professed Catholics are actually Catholics . We just need a true Pope
You do not seem to realise that the ROMAN Catholic Church is as globalist totalitarian as the NWO. In fact, it began its crusade to dominate the world in 1302 with Unum Sanctum claiming the souls of everyone for, and on behalf of, God.
It is not the benign entity you would wish it to be and, worse, it never has been. Sorry.
Sorry, I did not receive a notification of this series of knee jerking questions. I do not like your attitude. Who is 'she'? Why do you assume I am ignorant? What does this question mean: 'Where us hierarchy?'. As for naming 3 prominent Catholics, try Pope Francis, Cardinal Vigano and the Superior General of the Jesuits Arturo Sosa.
To give you my opinion about the horrendous state of the ROMAN Catholic Church I must refer you to a document I shared some time ago. Read it carefully, try not to come back in 2 mins raging and squealing like a stuck pig.
I practice anarchist calisthenics every time I encounter bad rules or bad people. Never say yes to anything you know is bad. Remember, the traffic cop is not there to protect society. He is a man with a gun who wants your money.
The Catholic Church teaches this. A Catholic is Never to obey an evil command, not from Pope (who can give evil command , but who can never teach heresy), not from a parent, not from king or any government.
The Catholic Church teaches Catholics must obey legitimate commands from legitimate superiors.
Makes perfect sense, as does everything She teaches
One of several heroes in Rand's epic "Atlas Shrugged." Yes it's a good book and some interesting philosophy (Objectivism). But as a model for the real world, not so much. Now, I don't doubt that Rand's vision of how Socialism corrupts and eventually collapses a society is not far off the mark. But assuming the "evil" characters are all dupes and incompetents goes wrong. I must give her some credit, as our present system values "diversity" over competence and other positive traits. But to assume that the evil will always be flawed? I wish. Sadly in our real world, there are highly intelligent but evil people. Stupid people can only do limited damage, unless they somehow get into positions of power. Yeah, in everyday life they can be a nuisance because they fuck things up or cause other mischief. But an intelligent, capable person is more likely to be in that position, and he is capable of exponentially greater evil (or good) because of his innate ability.
Oligarchy class is not much different in monopolistic central control model of communism. We need to break up monopolies. The whole Dutch farmer thing is a movement against land grabs and monopolies that have been going on for a good long while.
Private hands that have bought out our government policies with the bribery I mean lobbying money. The banker leech class got away with 2008. John Titus on Best Evidence is a patent attorney who does a great job on the laws that were broken and had zero convictions.
Fully agree. Rather than "commie bastards," I would dub them something like "collaborators, whether naive or cognizant, in a system of evil where dogma, money and power take precedence over honesty, safety or even the greatest good for the greatest number."
For those who like music here's a few with common theme. Or call it "poetry," just look up they lyrics on a service like azlyrics.com:
Sadly, you’re definitely not alone! It’s rather ironic as I have one brother who is a doctor, went corporate, then into pharmaceuticals. I have another brother whose been very heavily involved with politics. We have very different viewpoints! That said, we all still love each other very much & only hit anything to do with the current situation very lightly!
I do however have some major insight into a lot of things based on conversations I’ve had with them and several of their co-workers &/or business partners…
We are in a world of tremendous vitriol & divisiveness. It’s very unfortunate. As for love, this may seem hokey, but you first need to start with self love (or at least self acceptance & happiness). Once you’re there, it’s easier to realize that it’s only unhappy people who mistreat others. Even in chaos, we must realize & accept the fact that we are responsible & accountable for our own self, actions, & choices, therefore, we are also the ones who have to accept & deal with any resulting consequences thereof. If you’re unhappy, figure out why and do whatever you can to fix it.
Problem-Reaction-Solution- a time honored strategy.
Without the fear-mongering propaganda campaign no one would’ve noticed anything unusual about the last two flu seasons because there was nothing unusual, except for the criminal, murderous, and utterly unscientific lockdown policies and "health protocols" in response to the non- existent threat.
"Covid-19" deaths follow the same age/risk stratification and seasonal curve of flu/pneumonia at the same time that flu inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth while all pneumonia deaths were suddenly called “Covid” using mass death certification fraud.
I cut my teeth on the massive amount of corruption and profiteering and Pharma con jobs back in 2004 with the Avian Flu hoax. They tried the same con, with mostly the same cast of characters, in 2009/10 with the Swine Flu hoax.
I spent a lot of time in both instances trying to alert people throughout the community to the realities of these frauds. Each time there was tremendous push back followed by acknowledgement that these were indeed scams. However it seems that there is a bizarre psychotic thirst for this hysteria in our present culture as after each fraud was proven it only needed a few years passing for these very same folks to become ready to accept a new fraud.
Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening.
The playbook is pretty much the same, they simply refine the techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7.
I have to say that the "messaging" is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.
That and they produced the cadavers this time through an array of medical democides (remdesivir, neglect, midazolam, ventilators, etc.) which solidified the fear mechanisms in the masses.
It's breathtaking really to witness the grip of fear this had and still has on millions and a vast number of these people will be damaged for life. The shadow of this psychosis will follow them to their graves. This is particularly true among the "educated" classes who now have a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia.
As for the Covid™ fable of 2020 itself, it was and is a nasty lie- all of it from top to bottom. All of the exaggerated and repeated fear-based messages from the media and government agencies this past year were just part of the advertising campaign for the pharmaceutical industry’s newest lucrative product- mRNA “vaccines” which they plan to roll out as new medical “miracle cures” for a variety of “ailments”, e.g. new line of “cancer vaccines.”
Every single one of the media bullhorns that were blasting the Covid fiction for the past year have direct financial ties to Pharma Inc. It’s not exactly accurate to say Pharma uses its power to influence the news- more to the point it is Pharma that writes the script. Pharma and it’s investors own “the news” and you will speak the Pharma gospel if you wish to maintain your position of privilege- it goes without saying.
And when we speak about Pharma this cannot be separated out from the investor class who rakes in oceans of taxpayer wealth through numerous Pandemic Ponzi Schemes with Pharma as it’s “offering” and its Trojan Horse.
"Covid-19" is a business plan not a medical emergency. Now more than ever it’s important to understand the economics of vaccines. Traditional systems of vaccine procurement and distribution are rapidly giving way to vast public–private supply chains. Despite annual revenues approaching US$1 trillion, the industry has been unable to reverse a declining rate of profit and finds itself in a perpetual state of crisis.
In Fall/Winter of 2019 all stocks of Big Pharma companies were in steep decline. This changed dramatically in Spring 2020 as we now know. The experimental gene therapy mRNA drugs are set to become the most lucrative drugs in medical history. Pharma depends on its “blockbuster drugs” to remain profitable and appealing to investors. It is not an exaggeration to say that without these “blockbuster drugs” the Pharma industry implodes.
What happened in 2020 was simply that the flu was re-branded and repurposed- the term "Covid-19" was invented to turn the seasonal virus into the equivalent of the mythical “Al-Qaeda” meaning to terrorize the population with the false construct of a boogeyman.
This was done as the Western economies were in total free fall in late 2019 and the plan to digitize the economies of The West had to be rushed through lest the collapse be seen for what it was- the by-product of decades of Ponzi schemes by the Wall St. parasites and their allies.
The Virus™ is superfluous, just like the Swine Flu scamdemic of 2009. All they needed to do was create the perception of a pandemic/mass panic with staged Hollywood productions, doomsday models, and the fraudulent PCR test to manufacture the cases/falsely attributed as “Covid deaths.”
In March 2020, I looked at my colleagues and said, "This is nothing, but a controlled demolition of our economy, and there are going to be a lot of people get filthy rich doing it." I think I was right.
That is precisely what is happening. "Covid" is the cover story utilized to conceal the reality of how economies in the West are being crashed and who is doing it.
What we are in the midst of is a planned total economic collapse. This economic collapse was inevitable. Western governments are putting the security infrastructure into place, trying to proactively control the inevitable social disorder which will result from this collapse. To be followed by a global financial reset, after a period of hyperinflation, which destroys both the value of debt and the corresponding paper claims.
There is not now nor has there ever been an epidemiological or viral emergency event of any sort anywhere in the world in the year 2020. The manufactured perception that there was such an event is an artifact of mass media manipulation, behavioral conditioning techniques and social engineering. All of this has been made possible through institutional programming and accelerated media messaging disallowing basic cognitive processes and eliminating critical thinking possibilities.
The collapse started in 2008 and attempts to salvage this corrupt economic system only delayed the inevitable. In the Fall of 2019 the crisis began to rapidly unravel again.
There was a dramatic decrease in industrial production which showed up in the banking crisis of August of 2019- the so-called Repo crisis when suddenly banks started to refuse US sovereign debt instruments as collateral of overnight loans forcing the Federal Reserve to step in and basically print money to cover this massive shortage.
The Repo market is where banks borrow money each day so that they have 10% liquid assets at the end of each day. If they do not have 10% liquid assets they are not allowed to open the next day.
Around the middle of September the Fed started pumping $20 billion per day into the Repo market to keep interest rates down so banks could borrow the money to stay in business. By the end of December the Fed was pumping over $100 billion per day into the Repo market and it was not enough.
Simply everyone on Wall Street was loaded with enormous debt and was holding on to US cash to be able to service it refusing to finance purchases of foreign currencies and then US currency as Repo Market froze at 10% interest on overnight Repo loans as US treasury bonds and even US bills were rejected as collateral for Repos.
What happened in March 2020 was just the spread of the liquidity crisis from primary dealers markets (TBTF banks and Hedge funds were actually bailed out in September) toward all other stock, commodities, bonds CLOs, MBS etc, as well to Ponzi schemes called today ETF funds, not to mention structured derivative products traded on proprietary platforms nominally representing up to several thousands of $$$ trillions.
When US treasury bonds and even USTB became illiquid due to exponential growth of public (but most of all private) dollar debt while the FED was sucking up cash from financial markets by tempering QE (called QT) between 2017 and 2019 reduced FED balance sheet from over $5 T to $3.9T by selling assets, all hell broke loose. Something drastic had to be done.
And hence the FED started to “buy all worthless shit for double the price”, Gates’s and Silicon Valley gang took over the media, and Orwellian shrinks and doctor Fauci-Mengeles came to the “rescue” unleashing operation COVID.
COVID phenomenon cannot be understood without understanding the un-televised 2019-2020 unprecedented financial collapse threatening the entire global financial system. The COVID fraud timing became necessary as the world markets were faced with an emergency debt crisis that popped up in formerly mostly liquid markets: Repo markets, money markets and FX markets.
The entire House of Cards was falling for six months and could not be stopped so COVID hysteria was manufactured to cover up what amounts today to $11 trillion of FED bailout in cash, stock boost via POMO and guarantees of value of collateral used in structured derivatives. The end game is that the central banks (Fed) will buy all the toxic, worthless debt from the hedge funds and banks, including the 1.5 quad trillion of derivatives, and then transfer the debt to the treasury as sovereign debt. Then print money to infinity to service the fictitious debt to sink the dollar via hyperinflation and then foreclose on the US and everyone else holding debt in worthless dollars.
That’s the coup. There will be global hyperinflation to vaporize the assets of the masses and the States- as soon as the ruling class mops up the last properties.
What this means is the ruling class will have limitless claims on everything in the world. Simply put, the seasonal coronavirus was rebranded as "Covid 19" on the back of a redefinition of what a ‘pandemic’ was by the WHO at the bequest of its financiers. This unlocked access to financial incentive programs that were large enough to bail out every failing economy.
Covid 19 is the final heist to strip all value out of the world in an effort by the creditors to consolidate what they believe they’re owed.
I'm not sure that's something I will do- I will think about it.
I'm a bit reluctant to mention this, in fact never have before, (not due to any issues regarding anonymity more that I avoid the "appeal to authority" fallacy whenever possible) but I am already involved quite a bit with one of the premier legal health organizations as one of their primary researchers. Not sure at this point I can take on much more.
I do think, which I've said before, where many of those involved in the current Covid critiques fall short is in their analysis of the history and the political economy of how we got here. They then do not see the bigger picture and get stuck in the eddy of "the virus" even as they reject many of the "official" claims.
Your political economy is best-in-class. I agree that understanding history and political economy is essential to surviving this crisis. Running a Substack is a pain in the neck (people always want more content, lolz). I want to keep up with your writing and thinking though. If you have not done so already would you please subscribe to my Substack and comment over there too?
Good lord! Please follow up your global doom-scenario with some suggestions for how individuals can prepare to survive. It's the least you can do after disrupting my sleep.
Music trivia dept: On the Electric Light Orchestra album "Face the Music," there is an instrumental intro. Part of it has backwards voice. If one plays it backwards, a voice says "The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back!"
Interesting comment. Puts a lot of puzzle pieces into place. What was the purpose of the mRNA vaccines, in your opinion? I can only think of dark reasons for the mad rush to stick a needle in every arm.
It's the pharmaceutical industry’s newest lucrative product- mRNA “vaccines” which they plan to roll out as the new medical “miracle cure” for a variety of “ailments”, e.g. new line of “cancer vaccines.”
The plan is for the mRNA "vaccines" to be Pharma's new cash cow and launch an entirely new Bio-Tech wave of financialized "disease management."
Agree with Allen below. It's all about money. It's fairly easy to find the mechanisms they used, as well as the profit motives, to foist the mRNA jabs on the world. The recent attempt (successful?) to get the "vaccines" on the childhood schedule has no defensible medical justification, but it makes perfect sense if one understands that at least an "approved" product on that schedule will give the makers legal indemnity separate from the emergency use protections.
Finally, if "Future Framework" is approved (again, maybe it already is?) future mRNA "vaccines" basically get rubber-stamp approval.
The above are clear motives to manipulate the system to insure profit. I also forgot to mention that the bulk of sales are directly to government, so a guaranteed market.
Now, whether anyone will voluntarily take these products is another matter. Much of what I read lately suggests that public appetite is rapidly waning, including for related products like Paxlovid. I for one, have not taken any EUA product (I was offered Paxlovid). I will probably never voluntarily take a vaccine ever again, especially an mRNA product. I'm more open to an EUA, but would only do so if it were literally a life or death, severe pain or some other dire issue. But because I had a glorified cold and my primary thought me high risk and I didn't. Hell no.
Of course the more lurid fears of sterilization or killing off unwanted populations COULD be true, but I don't put much stock in them. Unbrideld greed and perhaps, desire to gain political power explains it quite well.
Looking at the horrors of the last 2 years, especially the coercion to vaccinate and the deliberate vilification and dehumanization of those sensible enough to avoid the jab, I find profit motive an insufficient explanation for these outrages. That this phenomenon took place not just in our unimaginably-corrupt US of A, but throughout the world only deepens my suspicion.
Contracts with governments were signed and cash was deposited in Pharma's coffers, regardless of whether people rolled up their sleeves or not. Yet governments and large corporations insisted that everyone be injected with mRNA. There is something about the these shots that is key to whatever future these malevolent individuals have planned for us.
Allen's scenario of impending, controlled economic collapse makes the most sense to me. I am not sure if these shots will be used to control us via vax passes, or to use us as experiments for potential life-prolonging treatments (for them, not us), or to sicken/cull the herd in order to even the odds for the Oligarchy when the hoi polloi finally rises up against them. But I am 100% certain that this has absolutely nothing to do with sparing people from the ravages of a "deadly" virus.
It was not the US debt that was the problem, but the EU debt. The EU bond market was in great danger because of negative interest. The Fed didn't want to take euro debt as collateral which caused the repo crisis.
Thank you for your analysis and suggestion that the Plandemic was actually a diversion in order to carry out the massive bail out of bankrupt financial institutions and disguise it as "saving the economy." I do disagree, however, with the idea that Covid is actually just the flu. I'm a retired MD and have treated quite a number of people who became ill with this virus. Surprisingly, PCR and the other tests used turned out to be pretty accurate, which surprised me. But most importantly, as you know influenza does not cause loss of taste or smell, chronic fatigue, or brain fog, nor the vascular problems that have been associated with this particular virus. I do think Covid was unleashed in order to allow for the financial response you referred to. It just wasn't influenza.
That is probably a good thing that you are retired. But you are not alone. There are so many doctors that we can't trust anymore. If you was my doctor, I would tell you that you are a quack. The flu just disappeared? PCR test accurate? You are a charlatan, just like my doctor.
When I asked him for early treatment, he answered there is nothing! So suddenly a doctor can not treat a viral infection or a pulmonary disease, not even a fever. Doctors have turned in the most useless people. Not all, but most of them, like you! Here is a refresher from CDC:
Flu signs and symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue (tiredness)
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
Fantastic comment and, from my perspective, entirely accurate.
I recall a dissenting doctor early on calling it a pandemic of testing. Also early on, pointing out that the COVID death rates were no different from an average ‘flu season brought horrified looks and “granny killer” accusations. Eventually I gave up.
Now that the FDA has agreed that new “vaccines” using the mRNA platform do not need safety or efficacy testing (not that any of the current vax products have been properly studied for either), the success of their business model is virtually guaranteed. Unless enough of us have recognized the grift and the danger. I’m hopeful that we have reached a tipping point of vaccine skepticism that will end the grift and the profitability of pharmaceutical products in general, and the vaccines in particular.
Yes, I just noted as much above. If "Future Framework" gets approved (done deal, most likely) it basically means, as I understand it, "We don't need to to test it because it is functionally identical to already-approved Product X." In some contexts that is certainly plausible. But as Jo notes, the problem is that the FIRST product was developed at "warp speed" which means there is zero, or close to it, long term (or even short term!!!) testing or proof of safety. Indeed, the mRNA vaccines to date are not proving even very effective in terms of duration of activity. Leaving the pneumonia and flu vaccines aside as a special case (they are "supposed" to be changed every year, and by the way, they don't work very well), never in my life do I recall any prior vaccines that needed to be "topped off" every six months. In the olden times, many vaccines DID need boosters, but the interval was in years, not months!
So it looks like the powers that be want us to accept the new version, and hopefully to forget that the original version wasn't really very well tested for anything. I wouldn't let them inject this stuff into my dog (if I had one.)
But not the mask; they'll do it again...even though they say they wont. They will because they're not willing to pay much of a price.
The mask are the most versatile tool in the PSYOP. And that's why they're the most dangerous.
When everyone is afraid of losing something, than everyone loses. I don't know too many people who are willing to lose anything in order to resist mask mandates.
Excellent synopsis of the ongoing Crime Against Humanity, thank you.
I lay awake at night thinking, “Now what?”
I heard the unbelievably repulsive little creature Yuval Noah Harari smugly saying that even if they (meaning us) somehow could manage to unite, he didn’t see how we stand a chance. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5qOHwplbt7E)
Oh how I want us to prove that freakish ghoul wrong!!
And let's not forget the mass media's role in hyping this "crisis" 24/7 and cheerleading for the oppressive measures (forced masking, mandatory vaccination) that kept up the sense of crisis.
As the old saying goes, "good news is no news." Or the modern corollary: "if it bleeds, it leads."
Very good. Excellent in fact. Now, tell me why vast numbers of doctors, police, soldiers, , government employees at local and national level etc worldwide capitulated?
Was satan involved? And his children, commies and freemasons...
Just by asking over half write me off as a nut. Prob 75 percent.
Same thing happened at Vatican II. 1962-65 and afterwards. Almost every Catholic priest and Bishop betrayed God and flock, just like this time. Parallels unbelievable.
I say satan ran both operations. There was fear, greed, hypnosis, cowardice.
Fascinating. And while I listen to Father Kramer on Jeff Rense, I'm not a Catholic, so probably should avoid getting drawn into Catholic sectarianisms. (Or those of any organized religion, for that matter. Look up the word "religion", as well as "pastors", in the Bible.)
I think you saw governments, pharma etc taking advantage of a crisis ( maybe even having a hand in creating it). COVID 19 is real and I witnessed it killing many- first hand. My hospital had every floor but one filled with 50-60 year olds on up suffering horribly, unable to breathe, and with no visitors allowed during the Delta wave. It was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed. So many died alone and suffered for weeks and weeks before succumbing. This horrible crisis was used for power, greed and gain. Were there some people with broken legs who just happened to have COVID? Well thats more common now than it was in the early waves of the virus. I doubt it is the majority, however. Was there some bending of the primary diagnosis because it was/is somehow incentivized? I believe so. But not the majority from where I sit.
Yes, the "hospitals are overwhelmed" was largely a media fear porn fabrication. I'm not denying it didn't happen some places. North Italy got slammed early in 2020 for instance. But for the most part, the reports of lines waiting for the ER (at least in the USA) were mostly if not completely fabricated. If you have a good memory, or can read news archives, or a book like Berenson's, you may recall many cities had hospital tents erected, and a few military hospital ships were deployed to New York, against a possible surge in cases. For the most part, these were totally unneeded and withdrawn after a period.
It's also worth noting that from the beginning, virtually all patients who developed severe Covid-19 related ailments were those already at high risk, due to one (often several) factors such as age, diabetes, heart disease, immune disorder, obesity, etc. Also, once the CARES and other acts opened the money tap, hospitals had an incentive to call anything that walked or was wheeled in the door as "Covid-19," even if the only evidence was a dubious test and the patient presented with no symptoms of Covid-19.
Although Ryan doesn't state the cause, it's surely the case that beds have been reduced in recent years due to consolidation and cost-control in the hospital industry. Many rural hospitals have closed altogether.
Don’t forget — the hospital protocols of venting and remdesivir (“run-death-is-near” according to nurses — I believe the literal meaning breaks out to “sleep-death-is-near”) were designed to kill, and incentivized by insurers including Medicare/Medicaid. Why anyone would use an antiviral of any sort, let alone one that induces renal failure, once the virus had cleared and the patient was suffering from a bacterial pneumonia is something that should be investigated.
Choking bronchial spasms aren't "pneumonia", and the February 2020 covid did not respond to Symmetrel. IOW, it wasn't "influenza". Please keep it straight!
El gato… ethical skeptic also seems to be saying that the CDC is literally changing the ICD codes on medical records. I know you have been seeing data suppression but to literally be changing codes seems unbelievably illegal and how do we have this many people willing to do this garbage?
they also changed the definition of "vaccine" post facto because the covid jabs failed to meet the existing one.
how could it be otherwise?
these are people that think and are ruled by narrative. they reside in fables.
and when the facts violate the story arc, you get rid of the facts. the NOAA/GISS/IPCC are far worse.
the people doing it may not even know they are doing it. it's the insidious effect of cognitive dissonance. if you hold a view strongly enough, you outright disappear data that contradicts it rather than threaten your worldview and the identity you've build around it. this is why being an activist so often leads to zealotry.
the more wrong you become, the more right you must tell yourself you are to avoid having to change your mind.
so you end up constructing and inhabiting a hallucination into which dissonant data is not allowed.
A tiny glimmer of hope — the definition of “vaccine” was established through legislation (sorry, can’t remember the date or details), but what is codified into law cannot be undone by the CDC or anyone else without passing legislation to repeal the existing law. Which poses some interesting legal possibilities in attempting to achieve some level of accountability.
Definitions are changed all the time. I am just waiting for the change of the definition of a murderer. If you are only a murderer when you killed more than 99 people, then I will sent you the list that I have in my head.
You've just described perfectly what (I allege) happened with the claimed "errors" in the DMED database. For five years the military medical system under reported certain illnesses, but not others. Really?
You're right it's fundamental to human nature. I've already posted about Plato elsewhere. Here, allow me to say that what Gato has just described is what I call man's attempt to impose the mental world (Plato' real") upon the outside world (his "Apparent"). It's never worked and never will. Reality always wins.
mattias desmet apprehends a related (overlapping?) part of the problem when he discusses mass formation. The push to mindless control is set to ludicrous and the driver has alzheimers.
Apparently they can get away with anything; look at what happened in Jan/Feb this year. At Sen. Johnson's hearing, among others he had Renk's whistleblowers about the rise of illnesses in the DoD (Military) health care system. They relied on DMED, a database that was used for outsiders to research. Within days of the report, the database was taken offline for rectification. Here's a "fact checker" report on that:
You see, the explanation is very simple: hundreds or thousands of diagnoses were entered wrong in 2016-2020, but 2021's data is correct. Then those evil conspiracy theorists seized upon this grievous error and jumped to wrong conclusions.
Now perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions. I can't say with certainty that a cover-up and massive fraud has occurred. But if that were actually the case, I believe what we've just seen would be indistinguishable. If this was a cover-up, almost certainly it is with the knowledge and direction of government up to the top levels. This is, at minimum, massive fraud and either hiding or fabrication treatment data for thousands of service members. And the fact that they apparently are getting away unchallenged should scare the shit out of us.
Generic thought. I love the articles on Substack, but the commentary is what really draws me here. As I write this there are 66 comments on this article and they are more enlightened and enlightening than a year’s worth of feedback anywhere else, be it legacy media or relatively new news sites.
Substack and similar venues are to us what coffee-houses, pubs and tea-houses was to european democratic nationalists in the 19th century, when a people claiming the right to self-governance on their own ancestral soil was seen as dangerous radical extremism by state and capital both.
Everything new is old again, or whatever that saying actually is.
And yes, their is a very strong synergy between good Stacks, good posts, and good commentary. And it lifts the spirit, doesn't it? We who say "This is wrong! No!" no matter fom what angle, we aren't few and isolated and alone - we are Legion!
Yes! I've often praised sites for precisely that. As good (or lame) as the lead essay or article may be, often the reader comments are even more thought provoking. My only complaint is the amount of time required to read sometimes several hundred (a few thousand, on the more popular threads.) Even some sites that "moderate" (e.g. censor) sometimes have worthy comments. It's sort of a game to see how far you can push the envelope before the comment vanishes into the ether.
I still don't believe this is all going to go the way they've gamed it out. And those who are greedily trying to save their own skins by oppressing the people and destroying everything good on the earth are eventually going to suffer under the very conditions they have created. They'll end up shivering in the dark with the rest of us. The madness *must* stop
"But ultimately, the bullshitter’s bullshit is exposed — typically via high-speed collision with reality. The real world never seems to conform to the promise of the computer model, and things go disastrously wrong. Lofty promises are replaced with grim realities, and imaginary fortunes vanish to reveal desolate grocery shelves."

This goes for their big plans, too. Reality will come crashing through their door like a million angry Sri Lankans.
It doesn’t really need to go anywhere - they’re just stuffing their pockets as fast as they can and if suddenly they end up beloved aristocrats over a global peasantry, all the better. If it all goes to Hell, they’ll fly to their bunkers in New Zealand and start partying.
Let them fly to new Zeeland. Once order is restored in the west and those military assets the us is so proud of are back in the hands of decent honest people, we will have the pleasure to make them a visit to those nice bunkers of theirs.
If things get bad enough, the New Zealand bunker, or for that matter, the nuclear command post under the Rockies or the Appalachian, will prove a false hope. One's staff might turn on the master, or a mob finally break in. Or if everything truly falls apart (e.g. nuclear war) than your fortress probably becomes your tomb.
I'm old and no children. If things are destined to get that bad, I'd much prefer to die early in the play. And most likely I'd get my wish. But I don't plan to go without a fight.
This is a powerful statement and the way forward, "disassembling the true permanent power of leviathan lies in dissolving the technocratic and regulatory state and a move to systems of voluntary accreditation, open signaling, and peer to peer systems of review and assessment and free choice and agency."
It’s the dissolving part that is difficult. It requires political organizing, policy changes, and fundamentally taking power away from people and organizations that will hold into it at all costs. This is a vastly asymmetric playing field, as state power, digital communication, and vast sums of money are all available to those whose jobs and future wealth are dependent on the administrative state-everyone from teachers unions to government contractors to media companies. This is going to take many decades...
...Or no time at all. We saw how quickly lives could be upheaved. Yes, they laid the groundwork over decades, but at the same time as they laid the groundwork, they have also been eroding trust for the very institutions that they have used to betray. I vacillate between a number of pills here. I find either the black or white one not easy to swallow.
I like all this. You're a genius and this article is brilliant. I'm wrestling with the solution. You seem to be proposing a return to the classical economic liberalism of Adam Smith? Compared with our top down centralized global Pharma totalitarianism, a return to classical liberalism sounds wonderful. The problem that I cannot resolve is that classical economic liberalism failed too, a hundred years ago -- think Upton Sinclair and grotesque meatpacking plants and the vaccine disasters that led to the creation of the FDA. Those failures opened the door to the regulatory state (that has become an even bigger disaster). I think the problem is not left nor right, I think the problem is human nature. Any system that allows power to accrue in a small group of people, leads to corruption. But any system that does not allow people to accrue power (through their talents and ingenuity) limits freedom and soon gets overrun by other societies that cherish power. Clearly I do not know the answer here. But I think we should be mindful of the failures of classical liberalism as well. The thing we have to deal with is that absolute power corrupts absolutely -- whether that absolute power is in government or the corporate sector.
I've lost "friends" over Covid. Two of them were part of various writing critique groups I was part of. And by friends, I mean people I actually met physically. They went into hiding when Covid hit and posted regularly on their Facebook sites about the importance of masking. The other one would post photos of businesses that were "not complying" to the rules of masking. One of them was an auto repair place. He was angry when the car service employee approached his car outside not wearing a mask.
One of the questions that would never get answered by them was the question "Where were all the people wearing masks before the pandemic?" The immediate answer was "Covid isn't like the flu." Which is true, but both transmit via airborne particles and both can play a part in death.
I would ask "Are you saying that those who died of the flu are less important than those that die of Covid?
Of course they had no answer for this, and eventually they blocked me.
One of the mantras by those of us who smelled something rotten out of DC would say incorrectly "The virus is a hoax." That isn't true, but my constant response was "The virus is real, our response to it is the hoax."
The second definition of hoax is:
2 : something accepted or established by fraud or fabrication
The something accepted or established was the policies implemented. Things like lockdowns, masking, social distancing, ending schools, vaccine mandates and passports. The fraud or fabrication was not the virus, but it was the determination that the virus was a crisis that demanded unprecedented response. We have Sweden and other pockets of sanity that display the truth of this as well as tons of charts and studies. Oh yeah, and we have most of history.
We are governed by the worst of the worst. They are completely devoid of any moral compunction to do what is right for the people they govern, only what is best for themselves and they are surrounded by like minded people. If they had an idea of civic duty/responsibility when they ran for office it quickly dissipates. Perhaps the K street money is too great a temptation.
Paying close attention to local politics and putting good people into office will be the only way this federal/corporate monstrosity can be beaten.
Fabulous subject matter & article! I was actually explaining to my children (probably kids since they’re officially teenagers now) how “trust the science” is the stupidest phrase ever because scientists have done some very stupid highly damaging &/or harmful experiments in the name of science & probably due to arrogance as well. I feel I can say this because I used to teach science. I always told my students that science should always be tempered with careful thought & morality. Just because one can doesn’t mean one should. And: Intelligence & knowledge doesn’t always mean good. There can be some geniuses who are really quite rotten!
I believe that the earth has a balance. I also have tremendous faith in God. I am quite certain that he knew exactly what he was doing when he created things. Humans screw it up when they intervene too much. Apparently, when we learn &/or discover something new, we don’t always continue the process of trying to understand the ways & means of our new knowledge. If we did, perhaps we’d stop trying to mess so much with what is. I can promise that our planet & earth have been around for far longer than we have and will likely continue to exist long after we’re gone. Clearly, it’s much better at taking care of itself than we are of doing the same. This is of course, just my opinion. But facts are facts, & we should heed some basic common sense lessons. First one: Worry about & be responsible for yourself & let others worry about themselves. Sure, you can lend a helping hand, work together, etc, but that should always be something mutually agreed upon.
I can say "don't trust the science" it because I am human. The whole idea that I have to teach science or be a credentialed scientist in order to question the science is ridiculous. All that is needed is critical thinking. And you can be an uneducated person and still have critical thinking.
A lot of this sentiment of trusting the science and experts is predicated upon the idea that we the people are infallible. We aren't, an thus we should be questioned continuously.
You’re absolutely right! That whole phrase is presumptuous on its head because the whole concept & theory of “science” is based on experiment (relevant to the concept ones trying to figure out or understand & observation. If it can’t be questioned, then it technically can’t be science.
We homeschool. During covid lockdown, one of the neighborhood kids joined us while we rolled stuff down the driveway and talked about inertia and momentum and threw stuff out the window and talked about gravity and air resistance. He commented on how different our science was then school science. I asked him how he did science at school. He said his teacher tells them stuff and they memorize it and then take a test. What a horrible way to "learn" science and probably the reason that so many scientists today embrace the mantra "trust the science" instead of questioning illogical conclusions.
Thankfully, they’re actually pretty plugged in more or less. Critical thinking & understanding motives isn’t as much of an issue for them (or seemingly several) children/teenagers. What their biggest problem is in my opinion, is the huge concern about what others think…
Love the 2012 & 2022 weather maps of England, with the current one depicted in searing red. Very similar tactic to coloring the Coronavirus in red from the beginning, even though we can only see it through black & white electron microscopy.
Yes, here's some science trivia: all viruses and even many bacteria, are literally too small to see in visible light. This is because they are sizes smaller than the wavelength of light. For the same reasons, it is meaningless to ask what color such a tiny particle has. It literally would not reflect light, it's too small. This limit was reached with optic microscopes long, long ago.
The electron microscope is nearly a century old (!!!) Electron microscopy overcame that limitation but with limitations: living specimen's can't be observed owing to the preparation required. Electron or similar schemes are so powerful that literally individual atoms can be visualized in some conditions.
Uh, I live in San Francisco & I'll call your crazy island (we're just a peninsula, though) and raise you a few vaxpasses to get into local theatre. I do have the ability to move pretty easily to a free state like Florida or Texas, where there aren't joggers & bicyclists moving around in N95 masks.
Reading this, I start to wonder how it is that the US hasn't devolved like Russia, or Sri Lanka and the like. I wonder if, amongst other things, the 2A and a significantly armed population has prevented the "instant read thermometer" politicians from seeing a weakness and fully exploiting it. This feels like it is a vast wall of resistance that is largely hidden in everyday life, and completely unacknowledged by those who produce and those who consume the unserious utopian grift.
There is something very odd about the Russia / Ukraine situation - can't put my finger on it but it is odd.
Boris Johnson (Zelensky's new best friend) has been proven to have evaded his security detail and met with an ex-KGB man back in 2018 just after Salisbury was Novichocked.
London is swimming in Russian money and yet Boris is always going to Ukraine.
In many respects it seems freer than our own. There is no woke/cancel culture there and dissent is tolerated, although undoubtedly monitored. I’m comparing Russia to our present society, not the USA of my parents day or even my early youth. We have a debased currency which will soon plunge us into extremely difficult times. We have given away our manufacturing, our land is being bought up by a class of elites who want to install their own vision of the world. Our government is no longer of the people or for the people, our elections are fraudulent, our military is being depleted of men who are both patriotic and secure in their God-given gender, our universities teach the ideology of resentment and little else. And Russia? I’m not naïve about it’s deficiencies. It remains to be seen if Putin has really renounced the NWO as he claims or if he simply wants to install his own version of the Davos vision. But they are building a sound commodity-based currency, investing in manufacturing and restructuring their banking system. They have gained a measure of control over their oligarchs. They have abundant natural resources and except for a minority who long for the glamor of the West, they are unfettered by notions of wokeness that plague the West. I wish them well. The USSR was my enemy. The Russian people are not my enemy.
Interesting. Thanks for much for giving your views. It helps. I was watching the war protests with protesters being arrested and thinking this place wasn't doing well. But of course, it has come a long way from the USSR. I wasn't aware that the Oligarchy was being hemmed in. I hear you about the US's problems. Definitely the Fecal-matter follies .
I was a normal guy, helpful to government and society in general.
Now, I view governments, big businesses, doctors, press as hostile forces, agents and lackeys of COMMIE BASTARDS.
And act as such.
I'm not helpful anymore.
i think A LOT of "normal" folks have had a similar experience.
i had just about zero interest in politics, society shaping, or these grand public fights for the zeitgeist before 2020.
i think many of the "builder" class were similar but based on about 1000 conversations i've had with friends and colleagues, the lions are awake now and their attention has shifted.
this is no longer a nuisance to be ignored.
it's an existential threat to be defused.
things are about to change.
Let's Go!!!
Absolutely. I begrudgingly voted for trump 9 minutes before the polls closed in 2016 out of pure guilt and had decided not to vote at all in 2020. At this point I am enraged. Especially when it comes to my children.
Enraged. You are great, normal human being.
This brings me hope.
I too am incendiary mad
What else do you do… Vote for Hillary Clinton or Biden?
You can always vote third party. No, your candidate isn't going to win, but at least he or she will show the others how to lose gracefully and you know that your vote isn't going to be involved in all the shenanigans surrounding the two major players. Besides if enough people vote third party it may send a message to the two majors.
Freemasons control so much.
But you still will get, what we got. --- What message does it send? That the 3rd party is out numbered? That they've pissed some people off, but not enough to matter?
Me too!
I’ve been a bit cranky for a couple of decades before 2020. No I’m simply pissed. Thanks for your writing. Great stuff as it’s instructive and amusing simultaneously. I need to have humor in my life to keep me sane.
Humor!
Despair , demoralization are tools of satan and his children, commie bastards
Leftists encroachment in all key social structures, including federal agencies and public institutions supposed to be apolitical have turned American society into defacto a totalitarian society.
Freemasons have people in all groups. Republicans ain't gonna save you.and yes, leftists and democrats are vile, traitors
Existential threat fir sure.
Why do all those fighting covid depopulation scam ignore Possibility of satan being involved?
Reason: they can't see spiritual things under microscope so they disregard. And these are critical thinkers.? 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣
One by one, they are coming around. My two agnostic business partners (for >35 years) now admit the possibility of 'evil.' There is simply no other way to explain this; it is the fruit of Satan, played out over the past centuries and now coming to a head. We cannot pretend that what is happening in the world is unintentional; it is clearly with malice aforethought and the participants, the 'leaders,' the WEF's YGLs: Satan's handmaids.
Gato is right: things are about to change. The pendulum is swinging back. As Revelation tells us, Satan wins the appearance of some victories along the way, but God wins in the end. Are we there yet or are there decades or centuries more to endure? Only God knows the answer.
Meanwhile we must fight against evil at every opportunity. Prayer is powerful; it takes power from Satan and gives it to God. Oppose evil wherever you find it. Stand for good. Speak out against evil. Witness your faith to those you encounter; Satan hates it!
Even those of us who (like myself) call ourselves agnostic or atheist most likely acknowledge that good and evil exist. Where we part company with the theist is the origin of those. The Theist claims a supernatural realm, Heaven and Hell, with God and Satan respectively, waging spiritual warfare. Us secularists in contrast, note that concepts such as "good" and "evil" are entirely human abstractions. By that, we mean that absent human beings, concepts such as "good" and "evil" have no referent or existence in the material universe. If that be true, then no matter where you looked in the universe, you will not find the "thing in itself" called Good, Evil, Love, or, for that matter, the number 42. Those things do exist, but on in human consciousness.
Now don't get me wrong; those abstractions still potentially have value. Even my favorite thinker, Nietzsche, no Bible thumper himself, and skeptic of morality par excellence said (approximately) he'd would be a fool to deny that what we call "moral" is generally good for man, while "immoral" generally results in bad.
Even Jesus's teaching may hint at this. Consider his statement that God sends rain on both the good and the evil. The context was (I'm assuming, obviously) that God watered the fields of everyone regardless of their observance. Now consider the issue from a strictly worldly viewpoint: In any given area, the rains fall without taking into account the [lack of] faith of the farmer. A drought or a flood is a disaster of course, but the good and the evil will get the same treatment. God may play favorites, but Nature surely does not.
This ties in with a critical dichotomy in philosophy probably best illustrated in Plato's allegory of the cave. There are (at least) two realities. Plato's "apparent" reality is what I call the real world, which we perceive via our senses. Confusingly, Plato dubbed the mental world the "real," but I'd call it the abstract. Plato and his followers value his "real" above the "apparent." Platonic reality has given us numerous nice things -- mathematics, geometry, the sciences. All those require thought, logic and analysis. We're also blessed by rich imagination which gives us fiction, stories, the arts and so on. But a critical distinction exists between the "real" and the "apparent." The human imagination has few, if any limits. It can create elaborate systems of belief poorly grounded in reality, or even contradictory in their own right. The infinite variations on political or religious systems well illustrate this fact. In contrast, that mysterious outside "apparent" world's laws are set by powers not subject to our control. In many cases, man has been able to model that world to an extraordinary degree. We often call those "scientific theories." When successful, they provide descriptive and predictive value. Here's a crucial point: they are purely mental creations. Another brain might have produced a "theory" that was absurd, at least in the sense that it failed when modeling the "apparent" world.
Note that the "modeling" the brain does by no means has to be formal logical or scientific reasoning. Our brains have been described as an organ whose primary purpose is to provide a reasonable facsimile, a model of outside reality that our organism must apprehend by our senses and interact with. Otherwise life would be impossible.
Put into blunt terms, one of mankind's greatest failings is thinking he can just make up shit and then hope to impose it on the real world. The real world just doesn't work that way. I suspect that virtually all of mankind's greatest disasters can be attributed to some variant of this phenomenon.
It turns out that our interactions with the outside world are much more successful when we learn and obey its laws, rather than impose our own whims upon it.
Thanks for the comment. Two things I find particularly interesting in your post: the distinction between 'real' and 'apparent,' and 'imposing our shit on the real world.'
Nowhere is the distinction between real and apparent less distinct that in the field of quantum physics. There, the human mind creates models with no apparent connection to the physical world. Nonetheless, these models can predict things that nobody knew before. As Neils Bohr, one of the creators of quantum mechanics, said: "Prediction is difficult, especially about the future." Translation: It is hard enough to create a model that is consistent with things we already know. It is much harder to create a model that not only is consistent with things we know, but correctly predicts things we do not yet know. Just look at 'climate science,' for example. The models create the predictions the designers want them to, without regard for the apparent (physical) world. Yet predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity are still being confirmed, over 100 years after he first published the theory.
As for imposing our views on others without regard to reality, there is no better example than modern government. Politicians regularly create 'laws' that ignore the laws of physics and the laws of economics. The results are, predictably, catastrophic. Some catastrophes are larger than others, but as Scotty said, "You cannot change the laws of physics, Captain."
The laws of physics and economics, as we know them, were elucidated by man observing the world around us. Sure as the sun rises in the morning, you can't set a price ceiling below the market-clearing price without causing a shortage. The law of supply and demand is inviolate; it is based on the sum of human action on a society-wide level. Politicians regularly ignore these realities, at their own peril. Sometimes they manage to hang on to power through the power of physical force -- truckers in Canada, for instance -- and sometimes they do not. The show is about to get interesting.
Well said, Wild Bill.
Prayer *IS* powerful!
But...
...for your consideration....
...prayer of supplication (please please please) is far inferior to prayer of gratitude (thank you thank you thank you).
The former requires the supplicant hold in mind to some degree that which is troubling and which they wish to change. Nothing wrong with desiring change for the better. Not at all what I’m trying (badly?) to express.
The flip side, gratitude, requires the pray-er to hold simultaneously in mind and heart an uplifting picture and feeling, which “eliminates” the picture and feeling of what one wishes to change.
See the difference?
The latter is more powerful. It’s akin to, Be the change you wish to see in the world.
We can’t push aside what’s in our face 24/7, but... in prayer, if you shift into thank you thank you thank you -for 10 seconds at a traffic light, better than no shift occurring- that energy (everything is energy: Einstein) will find resonance. Millions and billions of people shifting around the globe? For 10 seconds here and there? And longer on their knees (in gratitude) or in quiet time? THAT, that unison, will find resonance, will manifest, will collapse the wave more quickly than the dual (supplication with presence in mind of the trouble).
Quantum. My understanding. And anecdotal experience.
Again, for your consideration. I got no answers. Satan / evil does find them uplifting feelins repellent tho. It needs the fear to survive. Why else would “they” persist so relentlessly in stirring it?
More light! More heartfelt brotherhood-sisterhood! More gratitude for each other and what we are achieving, millimeter by millimeter! We’re getting there. Not without pain, have to acknowledge that and all else ugly. But might I encourage more frequent shift into thank you thank you thank you? (Also not sayin it’s easy, just a more effective tactic in the battle for the souls of humankind.)
2 cents.
Edit: 💕(button fail)
And refuse to participate in ANY lie.
I believe you, yes. I don't see it on substacks except rarely
Interesting, I was praying to God this morning at 4 am, crying and walking to work just praying for this to all be over. Of course once I entered my daily “normal routine” I wasn’t so bothered by the actual nightmare we are going to be going through if we don’t stop complying…people continue to live their lives normally but many are awake because it CANT be ignored. Thanks for all you do btw way kitty, much appreciate it through these times. Have you seen INSIDE btw? Marc C. Miler suggested it. It hits on what you are talking about. Cheers
Typology... look at great women of Old Testament.
Sirks
I sincerely hope you are right. I want you to be right.
Sorry, lost. Who, what are you referring to Curious?
My bad. I posted in the wrong place. I was replying (or trying to) to Gato Malo saying things are about to change:
“i think many of the "builder" class were similar but based on about 1000 conversations i've had with friends and colleagues, the lions are awake now and their attention has shifted.
this is no longer a nuisance to be ignored.
it's an existential threat to be defused.
things are about to change.”
Maybe you run for President?
Don’t you know that Cats can’t run for Prez!? Only dumb donkeys!

None of the perps are communists, Marxists, socialists, populists, anarchists or any such thing.
They are all ardent capitalists operating within the logic of capitalism and have been doing so for decades.
Understand the historical trajectory of how we got here. The nascent bio-security state started as far back as the mythical AIDS crisis of the 1990's and has developed into what we see today. The many steps along the way included most of the same institutions (and individuals) that are involved in the Covid scam and none of these are communist/socialist etc. in their origins.
Another aspect that gets ignored in the "blaming" of CCP/communists is that the perps who are mainly responsible for these crimes are let off the hook when blame gets assigned to China e.g.. Those individuals, including Chinese financiers, have absolutely zero allegiance to any national identity.
While China is certainly a part of the global bio-security machinery circa 2020 it is not the primary mechanism. The primary power moving the world towards totalitarianism lies in international institutions that are decidedly controlled by Western actors.
"Covid19", the 4th Industrial Revolution and Great Reset are all massive frauds to create a series of monopolies, cartels and oligopolies that govern food, energy, healthcare and the most basic parts of our lives. The plan is for a new phase of global capitalism- enabled by national states and governments, international organisations and quangos (EU, UN, NATO, IMF, WTO, WHO, Gates, GAVI)- with no clear lines between state and non-state actors.
As an aside none of the actors involved are communists. Anyone who thinks George Gao, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Klaus Schwab, Mario Draghi, Macron, etc. are communists needs to rethink that position.
It is NOT capitalism. It is fascism--government-control of industry. We might call it capitalism, but it stopped being so 100 or 150 years ago with the creation of the first gov't-controlled oversight board. Calling it capitalism is like calling Joe Biden our leader.
Yes, it is fascism. But it is industry-control of government, not the other way around.
Not quite control, but began as capture and evolved to collaboration. The definition of fascism is public-private partnership — in truth, I think “government” is largely irrelevant. What we have is the administrative state (hired, not elected, to include particularly the intelligence/surveillance agencies) cooperating with corporations to advance agendas that advance their power and profit. The damage to the rest of us is immaterial.
Precisely
When the money is fake, the entire economy is fake. It's only taken them 50 or so years to completely ruin the dollar after dropping the last link to gold.
Commies are behind it all.
And many of fascists will be killed as Commies consolidate power.
Fascists, capitalists, , Silicon Valley, big pharma etc are involved... but Commies, freemasons are running it
Industry influence upon (in the extreme: control of) government is also a valid point of view.
This
exactly
You need to know the enemy, that's why.
Many think this is zbout $$ for pharma... that's a little side story
You’ve let the Left define your words, so that they have no meaning. “Capitalism” is nothing more than “choice”, free, mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services between two actors. You’re seeing “totalitarianism”.
"You’ve let the Left define your words..."
Not at all.
Your notion of capitalism is utter nonsense.
The catechism of 'choice' is also ridiculous mysticism.
The capitalist comes to you with a hamburger. "If you like what I have I will exchange it for the fair value of what you have." The Fascist comes to you with a gun."Give me your hamburger."
Capitalist's are not interested in fair value they are interested in use value.
Here's where it is illustrative that these discussions in substack threads are near impossible as most do not have even a basic grasp of fundamental terms and their meanings hence the confusion.
First of all, that's insulting, and probably intentionally so. You and I may not agree on a definition, but it is absolute sophistry to claim that a difference of opinion gives you the right to claim others have no right to speak. And while we're there, you should learn the true function of the apostrophe in English grammar.
The Left has done more damage to you than you realize.
Yer funny.
That you've been indoctrinated your entire life BY the capitalist' "education system" likely eludes you.
The “education system” was subverted by Communists long ago, but nice try.
Yet unfettered capitalism will lead to monopoly. Just how much choice does a consumer have then, other than the vacuous case of having the right to buy or not, a perhaps critical need (e.g. food, water?)
You will note that in many areas, government has declared legal monopolies or at least highly limited competition. I"m not referring to duties that traditionally are government's (e.g. the court system), but things like regulated public utilities. These usually private corporations but heavily controlled. And in return for that monopoly market, government usually takes away most freedom of association (what little remains) of that corporation. In practice, that means they must accept all customers who meet some minimum standard (e.g. pay their bill). Major point: what I've just described might be called a real-world compromise. It's not the pure capitalism that exists mostly in theory, nor is it pure communism/socialism. At least in more rational times, it was decided that a "private" company doesn't have the right to cut off electric, water or sewer because they don't like your political views, your race, your religion, etc.
You don't have background I do. Commies took out Catholic Church, because Catholic Church was only institution on earth that could stop them. We still will... and there's only 200k of us, virtually no property, a handful of Bishops. In Texas, one rental property and 1 Church, 1 resident priest.
Commies can dress up however they want. Six played dress up pope since 1958.
And idiots around the world call these bitches Holy Father.
They are not capitalists and this is not capitalism. Wake TF up.
They certainly are and this certainly is. Wake TF up.
Allen, find me capitalists that killed 10s of millions ON PURPOSE.
They have the printing presses to print $.
You're way off.
Yhis is about depopulation, damnation of souls.... it's being run by Satan

Actually I don't defend capitalism or strong central gvt.
Distributism. Subsidarity are Catholic teaching on economic and political systems.
You're the man
He prefers dude. :)
He's very flexible,...
In end game capitalist monopolies and communism look pretty similar as we can now see. Who really cares what we call it, most people here seem to know the essence of it.
A “monopoly” is impossible without government guns.
And commies control governments, they become the government.
Capitalists have some control over governments, much sometimes, but please, can one person provide one pre Mar 2020 where Capitalists have killed 1 million in a country? Just one freaken example?
No government should ever be powerful enough that anyone profits by controlling it.
Exactly! Government should be small and focusing on protecting our rights -- it shouldn't be worth 'controlling' in the first place.
Indirectly, yes. Ever heard of the military-industrial complex? There are a century (or more) of wars in which the US (and other nations) arms and related industries made a fortune, with deaths well into the millions, combination of the home and the away teams. We can argue which of these wars were "just," but that changes my observation not in the least.
And knock off "ever hear of..." you sound like 6th grade girlie
Vast majority unjust.
I say illuminati, secret societies are behind many of these wars.
Create crisis.
I believe in Mystical Body of satan, opposing Mystical Body of Christ ( Catholic Church) which is almost dead.... almost! To be exalted.
Get the popcorn. Better yet, research sedevacantism, and become Catholic
And while I won't argue them right now, there are rational arguments to be made in certain cases for (or against) monopolies. And government force, too. Disagree? Anarchy doesn't work very well, and there are plenty of examples (especially) in history, or even in the modern world, to lend weight to that assertion.
Capitalist monopolies don't kill off workers, markets, destroy infrastructure of world.
Fascism or Corporatism probably are more accurate. Such definitions have much overlap; even experts will argue them. And I doubt anyone here is an expert! As the occasional critic may note, "pure" capitalism, communism, etc. has never really existed; perhaps they CAN'T exist in pure form.
If that observation is true, then it's unlikely that Fascism can exist as "pure" either. This is my attempt at clarification: Imagine the USA in the days of (nearly) unfettered capitalism. Surely there was "partnership" between Capital and government: campaign contributions, bribery, etc. Now imagine today's USA: there is far more government power and (in theory at least) control over business. Yet there is clearly a strong partnership between private money and government: again, those lavish campaign contributions, but also many flows of money, many of them legal even if of questionable ethics. In both systems there was some partnership. Perhaps in the modern time, we could say there is more regulation "in theory" but in fact Capital merely pays more "user fees" (bribes, if you prefer) to government for their "services."
Fascists and corporate masters were never involved in mass murder, 2 exceptions: nazis, Abortion ...
But I wonder who was really behind nazis.
Commies have history, have told what they want: world domination.
None of this Fascist, corporate talk sways me at all...
You don't kill your workers, markets... you cheat them
ism ism ism ism whatever
Yes, there is a lot of theory here. But may I point out that at least sometimes, ideas have consequences? Do you think that the computer you're reading this on, the network that delivers the data, or indeed, nearly anything made by the hands of man, just magically fell out of the sky?
Agree. But there is often an "-ism", or some other aspect of theory/knowledge, behind that pathology. This doesn't mean you have to know everything, which of course is impossible. But a wide knowledge gives one more power to understand the phenomena, good or bad, one experiences in the world.
Thank you. It irritates me so much when people simplistically blame everything on "communism." Kindergarten-level thinking that does not take our own history into account or even what communism actually is.
Hagge, Explain Bella Dodd, Permanent Instructions of Alta Vendita, the takedown of Catholic Church. Why did they do it?
It bothers me that people don't delve into fact that Vatican is captive of freemasonry and commies.
And you almost certainly won't look into it.
You'll look for a natural cause, a natural solution. Just like 99.999 per cent of spiritually blind on these substacks. And you're the best critical thinkers, except only on natural level
Communism and freemasonry are mortal enemies of Catholic Church.
More like corporatism/fascism
Commies and freemasonry at root. Commies are malleable. This has been going on long before corporations had this much power, long before Mussolini.
Spot on. 🙌
Whi is spot on, Dr. Toby?
Globalist capitalists don't mass murder 10s of millions.
Commies do...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Passage
Grave sin, horrible and vile. Were tens of millions killed?
Yes.
Also, IG Farben?
Iraq.
Recent middle Eastern wars are often new world order at play.... nwo is run by communists.
So GHW Bush was a "commie?"
Donald Rumsfeld and James Baker were commies?
Who knew.
Communism is basically ape of Catholic Church... I am not being precise...but
It is inspired by Satan. Satan wants souls and people dying en masse while Catholic Church is in eclipse is great way fir this. People not Catholic in faith and morals dying suddenly. Thus is most likely 3rd Secret of Fatima. Great Apostasy, Great Deception, great chastisement. This ain't about $$$
All about souls
Commies want a workers paradise, Communism everywhere on globe.
Naive, out of blind naiveté.
Few in control, for themselves, and don't give a damn about communism except as vehicle
Bout time to get downright antagonistic.
Past time. They're killing children. They have plans for putting you, me in death camps. We're high on the list, as we are resisting their Commie Program.
Traitors deserve death
Child killers deserve death
As a doctor, heck a prior military doctor, I now agree wholeheartedly. When you look at leadership of military medicine today, Head of DHA, surgeon general of AF, SG of Army and there is not a doctor amongst them.. just a lab rat and two nurses. You realize it is nothing but a foundering woke experiment. Don't get sick, be very afraid when you go to the hospital and see the very young doctor, sweating and you can read his/her mind.. I don't have a clue what to do.... But we 70 yrs old docs cannot practice forever.

I think that what we have is global totalitarianism which is a huge step beyond communism.
All planned for a very long time, too.
https://francesleader.substack.com/p/the-totalitarian-global-coup/comment/5221052
Communism and freemasonry are the drivers. They had to take our Catholic Church. 1958. Permanent Instructions of Alta Vendita, Bella Dodd.
Commies have always sought world domination.
Global totalitarianism in no way is incompatible with this, but it's Commies and freemasonry. Commies seek total control. And top Commies don't believe in helping anyone but themselves.
AND CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL BEAT THEM DOWN. even though 1 in 6000 self professed Catholics are actually Catholics . We just need a true Pope
You do not seem to realise that the ROMAN Catholic Church is as globalist totalitarian as the NWO. In fact, it began its crusade to dominate the world in 1302 with Unum Sanctum claiming the souls of everyone for, and on behalf of, God.
It is not the benign entity you would wish it to be and, worse, it never has been. Sorry.
Too much of an intellectual coward to answer my question
Rudeness and impatience? It is midnight on a Saturday right now, here in the UK. I do have a life beyond Substack.
Yes and yes.but you were answering other questions. You attack Catholic Church have decency to answer follow-ups. You heretic
Describe Catholic Church. Where us hierarchy? Name 3 prominent Catholics.
Give us any details about current state of Catholic Church...
Readers, if she answers I an almost 💯 percent sure she will show her ignorance
Sorry, I did not receive a notification of this series of knee jerking questions. I do not like your attitude. Who is 'she'? Why do you assume I am ignorant? What does this question mean: 'Where us hierarchy?'. As for naming 3 prominent Catholics, try Pope Francis, Cardinal Vigano and the Superior General of the Jesuits Arturo Sosa.
To give you my opinion about the horrendous state of the ROMAN Catholic Church I must refer you to a document I shared some time ago. Read it carefully, try not to come back in 2 mins raging and squealing like a stuck pig.

I practice anarchist calisthenics every time I encounter bad rules or bad people. Never say yes to anything you know is bad. Remember, the traffic cop is not there to protect society. He is a man with a gun who wants your money.
Anarchist on the gold standard
Thiz isn't anarchy.
The Catholic Church teaches this. A Catholic is Never to obey an evil command, not from Pope (who can give evil command , but who can never teach heresy), not from a parent, not from king or any government.
The Catholic Church teaches Catholics must obey legitimate commands from legitimate superiors.
Makes perfect sense, as does everything She teaches
I can relate to that more than I wish to.
who is john galt?
One of several heroes in Rand's epic "Atlas Shrugged." Yes it's a good book and some interesting philosophy (Objectivism). But as a model for the real world, not so much. Now, I don't doubt that Rand's vision of how Socialism corrupts and eventually collapses a society is not far off the mark. But assuming the "evil" characters are all dupes and incompetents goes wrong. I must give her some credit, as our present system values "diversity" over competence and other positive traits. But to assume that the evil will always be flawed? I wish. Sadly in our real world, there are highly intelligent but evil people. Stupid people can only do limited damage, unless they somehow get into positions of power. Yeah, in everyday life they can be a nuisance because they fuck things up or cause other mischief. But an intelligent, capable person is more likely to be in that position, and he is capable of exponentially greater evil (or good) because of his innate ability.
😁😉
Oligarchy class is not much different in monopolistic central control model of communism. We need to break up monopolies. The whole Dutch farmer thing is a movement against land grabs and monopolies that have been going on for a good long while.
Except the monopolies are in private hands....
Private hands that have bought out our government policies with the bribery I mean lobbying money. The banker leech class got away with 2008. John Titus on Best Evidence is a patent attorney who does a great job on the laws that were broken and had zero convictions.
Competitive capitalism, yes! Corporate monopolies, no!

Fully agree. Rather than "commie bastards," I would dub them something like "collaborators, whether naive or cognizant, in a system of evil where dogma, money and power take precedence over honesty, safety or even the greatest good for the greatest number."

welcome to the team!
Sadly, you’re definitely not alone! It’s rather ironic as I have one brother who is a doctor, went corporate, then into pharmaceuticals. I have another brother whose been very heavily involved with politics. We have very different viewpoints! That said, we all still love each other very much & only hit anything to do with the current situation very lightly!
I do however have some major insight into a lot of things based on conversations I’ve had with them and several of their co-workers &/or business partners…
I don't feel a lot of love
We are in a world of tremendous vitriol & divisiveness. It’s very unfortunate. As for love, this may seem hokey, but you first need to start with self love (or at least self acceptance & happiness). Once you’re there, it’s easier to realize that it’s only unhappy people who mistreat others. Even in chaos, we must realize & accept the fact that we are responsible & accountable for our own self, actions, & choices, therefore, we are also the ones who have to accept & deal with any resulting consequences thereof. If you’re unhappy, figure out why and do whatever you can to fix it.
Much of what you say is right....
But also, this world could soon go in in flames, wars all over. Tremendous attacks have been made on children, innocent.
But, I acknowledge you are speaking much truth.
How to deal with rage... very difficult.
I think... think to not be angry can be a sin? Sometimes?
Problem-Reaction-Solution- a time honored strategy.
Without the fear-mongering propaganda campaign no one would’ve noticed anything unusual about the last two flu seasons because there was nothing unusual, except for the criminal, murderous, and utterly unscientific lockdown policies and "health protocols" in response to the non- existent threat.
"Covid-19" deaths follow the same age/risk stratification and seasonal curve of flu/pneumonia at the same time that flu inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth while all pneumonia deaths were suddenly called “Covid” using mass death certification fraud.
I cut my teeth on the massive amount of corruption and profiteering and Pharma con jobs back in 2004 with the Avian Flu hoax. They tried the same con, with mostly the same cast of characters, in 2009/10 with the Swine Flu hoax.
I spent a lot of time in both instances trying to alert people throughout the community to the realities of these frauds. Each time there was tremendous push back followed by acknowledgement that these were indeed scams. However it seems that there is a bizarre psychotic thirst for this hysteria in our present culture as after each fraud was proven it only needed a few years passing for these very same folks to become ready to accept a new fraud.
Once you have explored the details of these frauds it is easy to identify the scam as it is happening.
The playbook is pretty much the same, they simply refine the techniques. Not so easy to convince others of the scam as they are bombarded with fear porn 24/7.
I have to say that the "messaging" is far more comprehensive, insidious and sophisticated with Operation Covidius than all others before by quantum leaps.
That and they produced the cadavers this time through an array of medical democides (remdesivir, neglect, midazolam, ventilators, etc.) which solidified the fear mechanisms in the masses.
It's breathtaking really to witness the grip of fear this had and still has on millions and a vast number of these people will be damaged for life. The shadow of this psychosis will follow them to their graves. This is particularly true among the "educated" classes who now have a warped sense of purpose beyond the dull, aimless wanderings of Academia.
As for the Covid™ fable of 2020 itself, it was and is a nasty lie- all of it from top to bottom. All of the exaggerated and repeated fear-based messages from the media and government agencies this past year were just part of the advertising campaign for the pharmaceutical industry’s newest lucrative product- mRNA “vaccines” which they plan to roll out as new medical “miracle cures” for a variety of “ailments”, e.g. new line of “cancer vaccines.”
Every single one of the media bullhorns that were blasting the Covid fiction for the past year have direct financial ties to Pharma Inc. It’s not exactly accurate to say Pharma uses its power to influence the news- more to the point it is Pharma that writes the script. Pharma and it’s investors own “the news” and you will speak the Pharma gospel if you wish to maintain your position of privilege- it goes without saying.
And when we speak about Pharma this cannot be separated out from the investor class who rakes in oceans of taxpayer wealth through numerous Pandemic Ponzi Schemes with Pharma as it’s “offering” and its Trojan Horse.
"Covid-19" is a business plan not a medical emergency. Now more than ever it’s important to understand the economics of vaccines. Traditional systems of vaccine procurement and distribution are rapidly giving way to vast public–private supply chains. Despite annual revenues approaching US$1 trillion, the industry has been unable to reverse a declining rate of profit and finds itself in a perpetual state of crisis.
In Fall/Winter of 2019 all stocks of Big Pharma companies were in steep decline. This changed dramatically in Spring 2020 as we now know. The experimental gene therapy mRNA drugs are set to become the most lucrative drugs in medical history. Pharma depends on its “blockbuster drugs” to remain profitable and appealing to investors. It is not an exaggeration to say that without these “blockbuster drugs” the Pharma industry implodes.
What happened in 2020 was simply that the flu was re-branded and repurposed- the term "Covid-19" was invented to turn the seasonal virus into the equivalent of the mythical “Al-Qaeda” meaning to terrorize the population with the false construct of a boogeyman.
This was done as the Western economies were in total free fall in late 2019 and the plan to digitize the economies of The West had to be rushed through lest the collapse be seen for what it was- the by-product of decades of Ponzi schemes by the Wall St. parasites and their allies.
The Virus™ is superfluous, just like the Swine Flu scamdemic of 2009. All they needed to do was create the perception of a pandemic/mass panic with staged Hollywood productions, doomsday models, and the fraudulent PCR test to manufacture the cases/falsely attributed as “Covid deaths.”
In March 2020, I looked at my colleagues and said, "This is nothing, but a controlled demolition of our economy, and there are going to be a lot of people get filthy rich doing it." I think I was right.
That is precisely what is happening. "Covid" is the cover story utilized to conceal the reality of how economies in the West are being crashed and who is doing it.
What we are in the midst of is a planned total economic collapse. This economic collapse was inevitable. Western governments are putting the security infrastructure into place, trying to proactively control the inevitable social disorder which will result from this collapse. To be followed by a global financial reset, after a period of hyperinflation, which destroys both the value of debt and the corresponding paper claims.
There is not now nor has there ever been an epidemiological or viral emergency event of any sort anywhere in the world in the year 2020. The manufactured perception that there was such an event is an artifact of mass media manipulation, behavioral conditioning techniques and social engineering. All of this has been made possible through institutional programming and accelerated media messaging disallowing basic cognitive processes and eliminating critical thinking possibilities.
The collapse started in 2008 and attempts to salvage this corrupt economic system only delayed the inevitable. In the Fall of 2019 the crisis began to rapidly unravel again.
There was a dramatic decrease in industrial production which showed up in the banking crisis of August of 2019- the so-called Repo crisis when suddenly banks started to refuse US sovereign debt instruments as collateral of overnight loans forcing the Federal Reserve to step in and basically print money to cover this massive shortage.
The Repo market is where banks borrow money each day so that they have 10% liquid assets at the end of each day. If they do not have 10% liquid assets they are not allowed to open the next day.
Around the middle of September the Fed started pumping $20 billion per day into the Repo market to keep interest rates down so banks could borrow the money to stay in business. By the end of December the Fed was pumping over $100 billion per day into the Repo market and it was not enough.
Simply everyone on Wall Street was loaded with enormous debt and was holding on to US cash to be able to service it refusing to finance purchases of foreign currencies and then US currency as Repo Market froze at 10% interest on overnight Repo loans as US treasury bonds and even US bills were rejected as collateral for Repos.
What happened in March 2020 was just the spread of the liquidity crisis from primary dealers markets (TBTF banks and Hedge funds were actually bailed out in September) toward all other stock, commodities, bonds CLOs, MBS etc, as well to Ponzi schemes called today ETF funds, not to mention structured derivative products traded on proprietary platforms nominally representing up to several thousands of $$$ trillions.
When US treasury bonds and even USTB became illiquid due to exponential growth of public (but most of all private) dollar debt while the FED was sucking up cash from financial markets by tempering QE (called QT) between 2017 and 2019 reduced FED balance sheet from over $5 T to $3.9T by selling assets, all hell broke loose. Something drastic had to be done.
And hence the FED started to “buy all worthless shit for double the price”, Gates’s and Silicon Valley gang took over the media, and Orwellian shrinks and doctor Fauci-Mengeles came to the “rescue” unleashing operation COVID.
COVID phenomenon cannot be understood without understanding the un-televised 2019-2020 unprecedented financial collapse threatening the entire global financial system. The COVID fraud timing became necessary as the world markets were faced with an emergency debt crisis that popped up in formerly mostly liquid markets: Repo markets, money markets and FX markets.
The entire House of Cards was falling for six months and could not be stopped so COVID hysteria was manufactured to cover up what amounts today to $11 trillion of FED bailout in cash, stock boost via POMO and guarantees of value of collateral used in structured derivatives. The end game is that the central banks (Fed) will buy all the toxic, worthless debt from the hedge funds and banks, including the 1.5 quad trillion of derivatives, and then transfer the debt to the treasury as sovereign debt. Then print money to infinity to service the fictitious debt to sink the dollar via hyperinflation and then foreclose on the US and everyone else holding debt in worthless dollars.
That’s the coup. There will be global hyperinflation to vaporize the assets of the masses and the States- as soon as the ruling class mops up the last properties.
What this means is the ruling class will have limitless claims on everything in the world. Simply put, the seasonal coronavirus was rebranded as "Covid 19" on the back of a redefinition of what a ‘pandemic’ was by the WHO at the bequest of its financiers. This unlocked access to financial incentive programs that were large enough to bail out every failing economy.
Covid 19 is the final heist to strip all value out of the world in an effort by the creditors to consolidate what they believe they’re owed.
This is brilliant! Can you please start a political economy Substack so that we can read your writing on a regular basis? 🙌
Thanks Toby.
I'm not sure that's something I will do- I will think about it.
I'm a bit reluctant to mention this, in fact never have before, (not due to any issues regarding anonymity more that I avoid the "appeal to authority" fallacy whenever possible) but I am already involved quite a bit with one of the premier legal health organizations as one of their primary researchers. Not sure at this point I can take on much more.
I do think, which I've said before, where many of those involved in the current Covid critiques fall short is in their analysis of the history and the political economy of how we got here. They then do not see the bigger picture and get stuck in the eddy of "the virus" even as they reject many of the "official" claims.
Your political economy is best-in-class. I agree that understanding history and political economy is essential to surviving this crisis. Running a Substack is a pain in the neck (people always want more content, lolz). I want to keep up with your writing and thinking though. If you have not done so already would you please subscribe to my Substack and comment over there too?
I subscribe and have commented several times at your substack. I'll keep doing so.
I will also send you articles I write via your substack comments section.
Thanks again Toby.
Good lord! Please follow up your global doom-scenario with some suggestions for how individuals can prepare to survive. It's the least you can do after disrupting my sleep.
Why do you see it as a doom scenario? This is what is happening all around us.
Best to face the music.
The solutions are readily available on a personal and collective basis. Most of this depends on where you live and your personal abilities.
Noone is coming to save you/us- the entire political class is corrupted. Prepare accordingly and act now.
"Noone is coming to save you/us- the entire political class is corrupted. Prepare accordingly and act now."
*This* is the takeaway.
Music trivia dept: On the Electric Light Orchestra album "Face the Music," there is an instrumental intro. Part of it has backwards voice. If one plays it backwards, a voice says "The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back!"
Amazing band- I still listen to them quite a bit.
Jeff Lynne has the gift.
The most concise and understandable explanation I’ve read. Thank you!
I have started to follow you already by bothering to read your comments, and not others.
Do you generally speaking agree with Katherine Austin Phipps.
Interesting comment. Puts a lot of puzzle pieces into place. What was the purpose of the mRNA vaccines, in your opinion? I can only think of dark reasons for the mad rush to stick a needle in every arm.
It's the pharmaceutical industry’s newest lucrative product- mRNA “vaccines” which they plan to roll out as the new medical “miracle cure” for a variety of “ailments”, e.g. new line of “cancer vaccines.”
The plan is for the mRNA "vaccines" to be Pharma's new cash cow and launch an entirely new Bio-Tech wave of financialized "disease management."
Agree with Allen below. It's all about money. It's fairly easy to find the mechanisms they used, as well as the profit motives, to foist the mRNA jabs on the world. The recent attempt (successful?) to get the "vaccines" on the childhood schedule has no defensible medical justification, but it makes perfect sense if one understands that at least an "approved" product on that schedule will give the makers legal indemnity separate from the emergency use protections.
Finally, if "Future Framework" is approved (again, maybe it already is?) future mRNA "vaccines" basically get rubber-stamp approval.
The above are clear motives to manipulate the system to insure profit. I also forgot to mention that the bulk of sales are directly to government, so a guaranteed market.
Now, whether anyone will voluntarily take these products is another matter. Much of what I read lately suggests that public appetite is rapidly waning, including for related products like Paxlovid. I for one, have not taken any EUA product (I was offered Paxlovid). I will probably never voluntarily take a vaccine ever again, especially an mRNA product. I'm more open to an EUA, but would only do so if it were literally a life or death, severe pain or some other dire issue. But because I had a glorified cold and my primary thought me high risk and I didn't. Hell no.
Of course the more lurid fears of sterilization or killing off unwanted populations COULD be true, but I don't put much stock in them. Unbrideld greed and perhaps, desire to gain political power explains it quite well.
Looking at the horrors of the last 2 years, especially the coercion to vaccinate and the deliberate vilification and dehumanization of those sensible enough to avoid the jab, I find profit motive an insufficient explanation for these outrages. That this phenomenon took place not just in our unimaginably-corrupt US of A, but throughout the world only deepens my suspicion.
Contracts with governments were signed and cash was deposited in Pharma's coffers, regardless of whether people rolled up their sleeves or not. Yet governments and large corporations insisted that everyone be injected with mRNA. There is something about the these shots that is key to whatever future these malevolent individuals have planned for us.
Allen's scenario of impending, controlled economic collapse makes the most sense to me. I am not sure if these shots will be used to control us via vax passes, or to use us as experiments for potential life-prolonging treatments (for them, not us), or to sicken/cull the herd in order to even the odds for the Oligarchy when the hoi polloi finally rises up against them. But I am 100% certain that this has absolutely nothing to do with sparing people from the ravages of a "deadly" virus.
When interested in this topic I advice to read what Martin Armstrong has to say.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/?s=repo+crises
It was not the US debt that was the problem, but the EU debt. The EU bond market was in great danger because of negative interest. The Fed didn't want to take euro debt as collateral which caused the repo crisis.
Have read his stuff and several interviews of his. I think he is certainly worth listening to and has much insight.
The EU debt and the US debt are inextricably linked.
Thank you for your analysis and suggestion that the Plandemic was actually a diversion in order to carry out the massive bail out of bankrupt financial institutions and disguise it as "saving the economy." I do disagree, however, with the idea that Covid is actually just the flu. I'm a retired MD and have treated quite a number of people who became ill with this virus. Surprisingly, PCR and the other tests used turned out to be pretty accurate, which surprised me. But most importantly, as you know influenza does not cause loss of taste or smell, chronic fatigue, or brain fog, nor the vascular problems that have been associated with this particular virus. I do think Covid was unleashed in order to allow for the financial response you referred to. It just wasn't influenza.
That is probably a good thing that you are retired. But you are not alone. There are so many doctors that we can't trust anymore. If you was my doctor, I would tell you that you are a quack. The flu just disappeared? PCR test accurate? You are a charlatan, just like my doctor.
When I asked him for early treatment, he answered there is nothing! So suddenly a doctor can not treat a viral infection or a pulmonary disease, not even a fever. Doctors have turned in the most useless people. Not all, but most of them, like you! Here is a refresher from CDC:
Flu signs and symptoms usually come on suddenly. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue (tiredness)
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
Yes, and breaking that link caused the REPO-crises.
Combine that with a relentlessly strengthening us peso and we have a real shit storm coming in the global debt markets.
Real estate, gold, non-perishable food, firearms, etc. are still available. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Fantastic comment and, from my perspective, entirely accurate.
I recall a dissenting doctor early on calling it a pandemic of testing. Also early on, pointing out that the COVID death rates were no different from an average ‘flu season brought horrified looks and “granny killer” accusations. Eventually I gave up.
Now that the FDA has agreed that new “vaccines” using the mRNA platform do not need safety or efficacy testing (not that any of the current vax products have been properly studied for either), the success of their business model is virtually guaranteed. Unless enough of us have recognized the grift and the danger. I’m hopeful that we have reached a tipping point of vaccine skepticism that will end the grift and the profitability of pharmaceutical products in general, and the vaccines in particular.
Yes, I just noted as much above. If "Future Framework" gets approved (done deal, most likely) it basically means, as I understand it, "We don't need to to test it because it is functionally identical to already-approved Product X." In some contexts that is certainly plausible. But as Jo notes, the problem is that the FIRST product was developed at "warp speed" which means there is zero, or close to it, long term (or even short term!!!) testing or proof of safety. Indeed, the mRNA vaccines to date are not proving even very effective in terms of duration of activity. Leaving the pneumonia and flu vaccines aside as a special case (they are "supposed" to be changed every year, and by the way, they don't work very well), never in my life do I recall any prior vaccines that needed to be "topped off" every six months. In the olden times, many vaccines DID need boosters, but the interval was in years, not months!
So it looks like the powers that be want us to accept the new version, and hopefully to forget that the original version wasn't really very well tested for anything. I wouldn't let them inject this stuff into my dog (if I had one.)
It has in my sphere of influence.
But not the mask; they'll do it again...even though they say they wont. They will because they're not willing to pay much of a price.
The mask are the most versatile tool in the PSYOP. And that's why they're the most dangerous.
When everyone is afraid of losing something, than everyone loses. I don't know too many people who are willing to lose anything in order to resist mask mandates.
The fall will be a test.
Excellent post. Thank you.
I hope everyone reads this post.
Excellent synopsis of the ongoing Crime Against Humanity, thank you.
I lay awake at night thinking, “Now what?”
I heard the unbelievably repulsive little creature Yuval Noah Harari smugly saying that even if they (meaning us) somehow could manage to unite, he didn’t see how we stand a chance. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5qOHwplbt7E)
Oh how I want us to prove that freakish ghoul wrong!!
That link makes me sick. We have to stand up. This is about being on the right side of history.
We have to be wiling to pay that price. If not, I fear we have reached the point of no return.
I will die on this hill
People are always itching for a crisis.
https://markoshinskie8de.substack.com/p/covidmania-and-the-desire-for-crisis
And let's not forget the mass media's role in hyping this "crisis" 24/7 and cheerleading for the oppressive measures (forced masking, mandatory vaccination) that kept up the sense of crisis.
As the old saying goes, "good news is no news." Or the modern corollary: "if it bleeds, it leads."
Very good. Excellent in fact. Now, tell me why vast numbers of doctors, police, soldiers, , government employees at local and national level etc worldwide capitulated?
Was satan involved? And his children, commies and freemasons...
Just by asking over half write me off as a nut. Prob 75 percent.
Same thing happened at Vatican II. 1962-65 and afterwards. Almost every Catholic priest and Bishop betrayed God and flock, just like this time. Parallels unbelievable.
I say satan ran both operations. There was fear, greed, hypnosis, cowardice.
They count their investments. https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/warning-myself-about-the-orwellian Just wait until they deal with El Elyon's prosecutor, HaSatan! (Read Job if you haven't lately.) Talk about depopulation! I anticipate spiritual depopulation will far exceed physical.
Great apostasy has been raging for decades.
Research sedevacantism, Our Lady of Lasallette. Wow!
Fascinating. And while I listen to Father Kramer on Jeff Rense, I'm not a Catholic, so probably should avoid getting drawn into Catholic sectarianisms. (Or those of any organized religion, for that matter. Look up the word "religion", as well as "pastors", in the Bible.)
No sects in Catholic Church. We agree across time, unity in doctrine, Mass, universal disciplines...
If it's Paul Kramer, he's brilliant. But catch 22 of schism or heresy as he accepts Francis, a heretic as pope
fear, greed, hypnosis, cowardice.
Ouch
Ryan, that's just fir starters. I'm tired
Me too. We can take it up after rest
I think you saw governments, pharma etc taking advantage of a crisis ( maybe even having a hand in creating it). COVID 19 is real and I witnessed it killing many- first hand. My hospital had every floor but one filled with 50-60 year olds on up suffering horribly, unable to breathe, and with no visitors allowed during the Delta wave. It was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed. So many died alone and suffered for weeks and weeks before succumbing. This horrible crisis was used for power, greed and gain. Were there some people with broken legs who just happened to have COVID? Well thats more common now than it was in the early waves of the virus. I doubt it is the majority, however. Was there some bending of the primary diagnosis because it was/is somehow incentivized? I believe so. But not the majority from where I sit.
How many of those 50-60 year old's were healthy? Truly?
I'm 51. I have many ties to MD's and RN's and I've never heard any hospital being overrun by healthy mid age people due to covid.
The hospital bed shortage pre-dated covid. If they wanted solutions they could've easily built annexes for more beds. They didn't want solutions.
Yes, the "hospitals are overwhelmed" was largely a media fear porn fabrication. I'm not denying it didn't happen some places. North Italy got slammed early in 2020 for instance. But for the most part, the reports of lines waiting for the ER (at least in the USA) were mostly if not completely fabricated. If you have a good memory, or can read news archives, or a book like Berenson's, you may recall many cities had hospital tents erected, and a few military hospital ships were deployed to New York, against a possible surge in cases. For the most part, these were totally unneeded and withdrawn after a period.
It's also worth noting that from the beginning, virtually all patients who developed severe Covid-19 related ailments were those already at high risk, due to one (often several) factors such as age, diabetes, heart disease, immune disorder, obesity, etc. Also, once the CARES and other acts opened the money tap, hospitals had an incentive to call anything that walked or was wheeled in the door as "Covid-19," even if the only evidence was a dubious test and the patient presented with no symptoms of Covid-19.
Although Ryan doesn't state the cause, it's surely the case that beds have been reduced in recent years due to consolidation and cost-control in the hospital industry. Many rural hospitals have closed altogether.
Don’t forget — the hospital protocols of venting and remdesivir (“run-death-is-near” according to nurses — I believe the literal meaning breaks out to “sleep-death-is-near”) were designed to kill, and incentivized by insurers including Medicare/Medicaid. Why anyone would use an antiviral of any sort, let alone one that induces renal failure, once the virus had cleared and the patient was suffering from a bacterial pneumonia is something that should be investigated.
The pandemic was a culling.
You better believe it. And there needs to be a reckoning.
Yup. You're preaching. I have roughly 800 hospitals across the country that are clients.
Everything you say is true....and there's much worse.
🎯
Choking bronchial spasms aren't "pneumonia", and the February 2020 covid did not respond to Symmetrel. IOW, it wasn't "influenza". Please keep it straight!
Choking bronchial spasms can be caused by any number of things.
Pneumonia; yeah, right!
El gato… ethical skeptic also seems to be saying that the CDC is literally changing the ICD codes on medical records. I know you have been seeing data suppression but to literally be changing codes seems unbelievably illegal and how do we have this many people willing to do this garbage?
they also changed the definition of "vaccine" post facto because the covid jabs failed to meet the existing one.
how could it be otherwise?
these are people that think and are ruled by narrative. they reside in fables.
and when the facts violate the story arc, you get rid of the facts. the NOAA/GISS/IPCC are far worse.
the people doing it may not even know they are doing it. it's the insidious effect of cognitive dissonance. if you hold a view strongly enough, you outright disappear data that contradicts it rather than threaten your worldview and the identity you've build around it. this is why being an activist so often leads to zealotry.
the more wrong you become, the more right you must tell yourself you are to avoid having to change your mind.
so you end up constructing and inhabiting a hallucination into which dissonant data is not allowed.
this is a fundament of human nature.
A tiny glimmer of hope — the definition of “vaccine” was established through legislation (sorry, can’t remember the date or details), but what is codified into law cannot be undone by the CDC or anyone else without passing legislation to repeal the existing law. Which poses some interesting legal possibilities in attempting to achieve some level of accountability.
Definitions are changed all the time. I am just waiting for the change of the definition of a murderer. If you are only a murderer when you killed more than 99 people, then I will sent you the list that I have in my head.
sunk cost denial as well
You've just described perfectly what (I allege) happened with the claimed "errors" in the DMED database. For five years the military medical system under reported certain illnesses, but not others. Really?
You're right it's fundamental to human nature. I've already posted about Plato elsewhere. Here, allow me to say that what Gato has just described is what I call man's attempt to impose the mental world (Plato' real") upon the outside world (his "Apparent"). It's never worked and never will. Reality always wins.
mattias desmet apprehends a related (overlapping?) part of the problem when he discusses mass formation. The push to mindless control is set to ludicrous and the driver has alzheimers.
They believe the narrative, not because it's true, but because it gives them a sense of social bonding.
Apparently they can get away with anything; look at what happened in Jan/Feb this year. At Sen. Johnson's hearing, among others he had Renk's whistleblowers about the rise of illnesses in the DoD (Military) health care system. They relied on DMED, a database that was used for outsiders to research. Within days of the report, the database was taken offline for rectification. Here's a "fact checker" report on that:
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-militarydatabase-error/fact-check-dod-says-data-error-caused-spike-in-numbers-of-medical-diagnoses-in-their-medical-database-for-2021-idUSL1N2UY1S2
You see, the explanation is very simple: hundreds or thousands of diagnoses were entered wrong in 2016-2020, but 2021's data is correct. Then those evil conspiracy theorists seized upon this grievous error and jumped to wrong conclusions.
Now perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions. I can't say with certainty that a cover-up and massive fraud has occurred. But if that were actually the case, I believe what we've just seen would be indistinguishable. If this was a cover-up, almost certainly it is with the knowledge and direction of government up to the top levels. This is, at minimum, massive fraud and either hiding or fabrication treatment data for thousands of service members. And the fact that they apparently are getting away unchallenged should scare the shit out of us.
This is important. Do you have a link or two? Thanks!
Just look at ethical skeptic Twitter
I’m thinking lawyers need to get involved!
Generic thought. I love the articles on Substack, but the commentary is what really draws me here. As I write this there are 66 comments on this article and they are more enlightened and enlightening than a year’s worth of feedback anywhere else, be it legacy media or relatively new news sites.
Substack and similar venues are to us what coffee-houses, pubs and tea-houses was to european democratic nationalists in the 19th century, when a people claiming the right to self-governance on their own ancestral soil was seen as dangerous radical extremism by state and capital both.
Everything new is old again, or whatever that saying actually is.
And yes, their is a very strong synergy between good Stacks, good posts, and good commentary. And it lifts the spirit, doesn't it? We who say "This is wrong! No!" no matter fom what angle, we aren't few and isolated and alone - we are Legion!
Yes! Lifts the spirits and reminds me we are more and more every day...
Yes! I've often praised sites for precisely that. As good (or lame) as the lead essay or article may be, often the reader comments are even more thought provoking. My only complaint is the amount of time required to read sometimes several hundred (a few thousand, on the more popular threads.) Even some sites that "moderate" (e.g. censor) sometimes have worthy comments. It's sort of a game to see how far you can push the envelope before the comment vanishes into the ether.
Same here... definitely staying for the comments
Ditto your sentiments!!
"When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do"
- William Blake
We are going to have to defend ourselves. Get your boots on Friends.
I still don't believe this is all going to go the way they've gamed it out. And those who are greedily trying to save their own skins by oppressing the people and destroying everything good on the earth are eventually going to suffer under the very conditions they have created. They'll end up shivering in the dark with the rest of us. The madness *must* stop
"But ultimately, the bullshitter’s bullshit is exposed — typically via high-speed collision with reality. The real world never seems to conform to the promise of the computer model, and things go disastrously wrong. Lofty promises are replaced with grim realities, and imaginary fortunes vanish to reveal desolate grocery shelves."
------
This goes for their big plans, too. Reality will come crashing through their door like a million angry Sri Lankans.
It doesn’t really need to go anywhere - they’re just stuffing their pockets as fast as they can and if suddenly they end up beloved aristocrats over a global peasantry, all the better. If it all goes to Hell, they’ll fly to their bunkers in New Zealand and start partying.
Yup--looting, at this point.
Let them fly to new Zeeland. Once order is restored in the west and those military assets the us is so proud of are back in the hands of decent honest people, we will have the pleasure to make them a visit to those nice bunkers of theirs.
If things get bad enough, the New Zealand bunker, or for that matter, the nuclear command post under the Rockies or the Appalachian, will prove a false hope. One's staff might turn on the master, or a mob finally break in. Or if everything truly falls apart (e.g. nuclear war) than your fortress probably becomes your tomb.
I'm old and no children. If things are destined to get that bad, I'd much prefer to die early in the play. And most likely I'd get my wish. But I don't plan to go without a fight.
What do you get when you combine willful ignorance, bureaucratic buffoonery, sleazy politicians and corporate greed?
A climate crisis!...of all kinds.
Okay, I will play your silly game.
Answer: Boobus Americanus
Booboisie...silly hounddog
This is a powerful statement and the way forward, "disassembling the true permanent power of leviathan lies in dissolving the technocratic and regulatory state and a move to systems of voluntary accreditation, open signaling, and peer to peer systems of review and assessment and free choice and agency."
It’s the dissolving part that is difficult. It requires political organizing, policy changes, and fundamentally taking power away from people and organizations that will hold into it at all costs. This is a vastly asymmetric playing field, as state power, digital communication, and vast sums of money are all available to those whose jobs and future wealth are dependent on the administrative state-everyone from teachers unions to government contractors to media companies. This is going to take many decades...
...Or no time at all. We saw how quickly lives could be upheaved. Yes, they laid the groundwork over decades, but at the same time as they laid the groundwork, they have also been eroding trust for the very institutions that they have used to betray. I vacillate between a number of pills here. I find either the black or white one not easy to swallow.
Many decades, or a nuclear war that levels the field………
Almost sounds like a pipe dream now.
I like all this. You're a genius and this article is brilliant. I'm wrestling with the solution. You seem to be proposing a return to the classical economic liberalism of Adam Smith? Compared with our top down centralized global Pharma totalitarianism, a return to classical liberalism sounds wonderful. The problem that I cannot resolve is that classical economic liberalism failed too, a hundred years ago -- think Upton Sinclair and grotesque meatpacking plants and the vaccine disasters that led to the creation of the FDA. Those failures opened the door to the regulatory state (that has become an even bigger disaster). I think the problem is not left nor right, I think the problem is human nature. Any system that allows power to accrue in a small group of people, leads to corruption. But any system that does not allow people to accrue power (through their talents and ingenuity) limits freedom and soon gets overrun by other societies that cherish power. Clearly I do not know the answer here. But I think we should be mindful of the failures of classical liberalism as well. The thing we have to deal with is that absolute power corrupts absolutely -- whether that absolute power is in government or the corporate sector.
I've lost "friends" over Covid. Two of them were part of various writing critique groups I was part of. And by friends, I mean people I actually met physically. They went into hiding when Covid hit and posted regularly on their Facebook sites about the importance of masking. The other one would post photos of businesses that were "not complying" to the rules of masking. One of them was an auto repair place. He was angry when the car service employee approached his car outside not wearing a mask.
One of the questions that would never get answered by them was the question "Where were all the people wearing masks before the pandemic?" The immediate answer was "Covid isn't like the flu." Which is true, but both transmit via airborne particles and both can play a part in death.
I would ask "Are you saying that those who died of the flu are less important than those that die of Covid?
Of course they had no answer for this, and eventually they blocked me.
One of the mantras by those of us who smelled something rotten out of DC would say incorrectly "The virus is a hoax." That isn't true, but my constant response was "The virus is real, our response to it is the hoax."
The second definition of hoax is:
2 : something accepted or established by fraud or fabrication
The something accepted or established was the policies implemented. Things like lockdowns, masking, social distancing, ending schools, vaccine mandates and passports. The fraud or fabrication was not the virus, but it was the determination that the virus was a crisis that demanded unprecedented response. We have Sweden and other pockets of sanity that display the truth of this as well as tons of charts and studies. Oh yeah, and we have most of history.
We are governed by the worst of the worst. They are completely devoid of any moral compunction to do what is right for the people they govern, only what is best for themselves and they are surrounded by like minded people. If they had an idea of civic duty/responsibility when they ran for office it quickly dissipates. Perhaps the K street money is too great a temptation.
Paying close attention to local politics and putting good people into office will be the only way this federal/corporate monstrosity can be beaten.
Fabulous subject matter & article! I was actually explaining to my children (probably kids since they’re officially teenagers now) how “trust the science” is the stupidest phrase ever because scientists have done some very stupid highly damaging &/or harmful experiments in the name of science & probably due to arrogance as well. I feel I can say this because I used to teach science. I always told my students that science should always be tempered with careful thought & morality. Just because one can doesn’t mean one should. And: Intelligence & knowledge doesn’t always mean good. There can be some geniuses who are really quite rotten!
I believe that the earth has a balance. I also have tremendous faith in God. I am quite certain that he knew exactly what he was doing when he created things. Humans screw it up when they intervene too much. Apparently, when we learn &/or discover something new, we don’t always continue the process of trying to understand the ways & means of our new knowledge. If we did, perhaps we’d stop trying to mess so much with what is. I can promise that our planet & earth have been around for far longer than we have and will likely continue to exist long after we’re gone. Clearly, it’s much better at taking care of itself than we are of doing the same. This is of course, just my opinion. But facts are facts, & we should heed some basic common sense lessons. First one: Worry about & be responsible for yourself & let others worry about themselves. Sure, you can lend a helping hand, work together, etc, but that should always be something mutually agreed upon.
I can say "don't trust the science" it because I am human. The whole idea that I have to teach science or be a credentialed scientist in order to question the science is ridiculous. All that is needed is critical thinking. And you can be an uneducated person and still have critical thinking.
A lot of this sentiment of trusting the science and experts is predicated upon the idea that we the people are infallible. We aren't, an thus we should be questioned continuously.
You’re absolutely right! That whole phrase is presumptuous on its head because the whole concept & theory of “science” is based on experiment (relevant to the concept ones trying to figure out or understand & observation. If it can’t be questioned, then it technically can’t be science.
We homeschool. During covid lockdown, one of the neighborhood kids joined us while we rolled stuff down the driveway and talked about inertia and momentum and threw stuff out the window and talked about gravity and air resistance. He commented on how different our science was then school science. I asked him how he did science at school. He said his teacher tells them stuff and they memorize it and then take a test. What a horrible way to "learn" science and probably the reason that so many scientists today embrace the mantra "trust the science" instead of questioning illogical conclusions.
Great point Lora. Perhaps having your kids research “frontal lobotomies” will hammer home the point about harmful experiments.
Thankfully, they’re actually pretty plugged in more or less. Critical thinking & understanding motives isn’t as much of an issue for them (or seemingly several) children/teenagers. What their biggest problem is in my opinion, is the huge concern about what others think…
Exactly, nuclear weapons are science.
That does it. I have to get a cat.
Ha. I did. It sleeps with one of my dogs. They love each other.
I think it's awesome
I'm waiting for the right cat to come along. A black Maine Coon boy kitty. Hard to find, but I can wait...
Love the 2012 & 2022 weather maps of England, with the current one depicted in searing red. Very similar tactic to coloring the Coronavirus in red from the beginning, even though we can only see it through black & white electron microscopy.
Ben Davidson goes into this scare-coloring of the weather data as well.

Yes, here's some science trivia: all viruses and even many bacteria, are literally too small to see in visible light. This is because they are sizes smaller than the wavelength of light. For the same reasons, it is meaningless to ask what color such a tiny particle has. It literally would not reflect light, it's too small. This limit was reached with optic microscopes long, long ago.
The electron microscope is nearly a century old (!!!) Electron microscopy overcame that limitation but with limitations: living specimen's can't be observed owing to the preparation required. Electron or similar schemes are so powerful that literally individual atoms can be visualized in some conditions.
I bet you don't live here on crazy island though.
These maps are nothing compared to the rest of the shit that is occurring.
Uh, I live in San Francisco & I'll call your crazy island (we're just a peninsula, though) and raise you a few vaxpasses to get into local theatre. I do have the ability to move pretty easily to a free state like Florida or Texas, where there aren't joggers & bicyclists moving around in N95 masks.
Reading this, I start to wonder how it is that the US hasn't devolved like Russia, or Sri Lanka and the like. I wonder if, amongst other things, the 2A and a significantly armed population has prevented the "instant read thermometer" politicians from seeing a weakness and fully exploiting it. This feels like it is a vast wall of resistance that is largely hidden in everyday life, and completely unacknowledged by those who produce and those who consume the unserious utopian grift.
I wouldn’t say Russia has devolved. It’s looking healthier all the time from where I stand.
There is something very odd about the Russia / Ukraine situation - can't put my finger on it but it is odd.
Boris Johnson (Zelensky's new best friend) has been proven to have evaded his security detail and met with an ex-KGB man back in 2018 just after Salisbury was Novichocked.
London is swimming in Russian money and yet Boris is always going to Ukraine.
Mad?
Tell me more. I'm happy to own my ignorance. It just doesn't seem to me to be a free society...
In many respects it seems freer than our own. There is no woke/cancel culture there and dissent is tolerated, although undoubtedly monitored. I’m comparing Russia to our present society, not the USA of my parents day or even my early youth. We have a debased currency which will soon plunge us into extremely difficult times. We have given away our manufacturing, our land is being bought up by a class of elites who want to install their own vision of the world. Our government is no longer of the people or for the people, our elections are fraudulent, our military is being depleted of men who are both patriotic and secure in their God-given gender, our universities teach the ideology of resentment and little else. And Russia? I’m not naïve about it’s deficiencies. It remains to be seen if Putin has really renounced the NWO as he claims or if he simply wants to install his own version of the Davos vision. But they are building a sound commodity-based currency, investing in manufacturing and restructuring their banking system. They have gained a measure of control over their oligarchs. They have abundant natural resources and except for a minority who long for the glamor of the West, they are unfettered by notions of wokeness that plague the West. I wish them well. The USSR was my enemy. The Russian people are not my enemy.
Interesting. Thanks for much for giving your views. It helps. I was watching the war protests with protesters being arrested and thinking this place wasn't doing well. But of course, it has come a long way from the USSR. I wasn't aware that the Oligarchy was being hemmed in. I hear you about the US's problems. Definitely the Fecal-matter follies .
When safely doable...pleasant, yet fervent disagreement. Defend truth. Defend American values. Remain smiling, yet disagree. No more cheek turning, that's why we're here...
agree
