Found another good one, folks! It’s a Two Part article … both included here. It’s not that long, and a rapid fire easy read pretty much covering EVERYTHING and EVERY key player, human and government. (Sorry, Ordo, it does not include Orcs, Watchers, Giants, or Reptiles from space.) Great read, great info, great reference.
=========================================== =
PART ONE
How Capitalism Became a Time Bomb
It was always just a temporary social Darwinist age of pillage and hedonism masquerading as capitalism which could do nothing but collapse by its very nature, Matthew Ehret writes.
During the 76 session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 20, 2021, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres lunged into a dire warning saying:
“I am here to sound the alarm. The world must wake up. We are on the edge of an abyss—and moving in the wrong direction. Our world has never been more threatened or more divided. We face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetimes… A surplus in some countries. Empty shelves in others. This is a moral indictment of the state of our world.”
While these words appear very truthful on the surface, sitting as we are upon a systemic meltdown of the world economy and potential collapse of population levels unseen since the days of the 14th century dark age, it is worth asking: What are the primary causes for the collapse into an abyss which Guterres is so concerned about?
Is it neocolonialism managed by a financier oligarchy which has kept the majority of the global south poor, indebted, starved, divided and at war?
Is he concerned about the drive for full spectrum first strike nuclear hegemony by Anglo-American unipolarists?
Or is it the immanent collapse of the $1.2 quadrillion financial bubble masquerading as the western economy?
It is in fact none of those things.
In Guterres’ mind, the existential crises which demands a total overhaul of all human collective behavior, thinking and traditions is shaped by the boiling of the earth caused by man-made global warming (which has less to do with anthropogenic CO2 than you might image) and a pandemic which has a 99.8% survival rate.
What sort of solution does Guterres envision?
The Great Reset Magic Wand
In June 2020, just months after the World Economic Forum signed a strategic partnership to merge its functions with the United Nations, Guterres laid out his vision stating:
“The Great Reset is a welcome recognition that this human tragedy must be a wake-up call. We must build more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change and the many other global changes we face.”
This was merely a rehashing of the words of World Economic Forum President Klaus Schwab who just days earlier said:
“The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions… Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”
Upon reading this, one might interject “but isn’t it true that capitalism has proven itself too corrupt to salvage and that a new system is needed that is driven by moral values?
Certainly, worshipping money is as bad as Guterres and Schwab frequently attest and additionally a new system driven by moral values is needed to bring us out of the abyss… but is the system now imploding referred to by Klaus actually “capitalism” or has a slight of hand occurred?
It is my contention that the thing labelled “capitalism” outlined by Schwab in his Great Reset speech above was never capitalism at all.
Self-Cannibalism by Another Name
Capitalism requires the creation of capital to merit the name.
Under nationalist statesmen like John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, William McKinley, Franklin Roosevelt and JFK in America (and many like minded figures internationally) the past 250 years has seen amazing leaps of progress under the form of capitalism. Large scale, government directed credit, protective tariffs and social programs merged the needs of the nation with the liberty of the individual and free enterprise.
On the other hand, the consumer society cult created during the 1970s was never about creating anything at all… but only consuming what previous generations had created and leaving nothing durable for the future but unpayable debt, never-ending wars, addiction to cheap labor and atrophied infrastructure.
The global transformation unleashed with the 1971 destruction of the gold reserve standard was always driven by an intention to replace national systems of economic planning with a new anti-nation state system driven by myopic speculation.
In this new liberalized system, being a good citizen meant only being a good consumer where the worship of short-term gains blinded corrupt fools to the reality that a hive of oligarchs were taking control of all media, science, academia, corporate governance and the civil service of governments across the Trans Atlantic. What they called “capitalism” was merely a looting operation that emerged over the dead bodies of patriots such as Franklin Roosevelt, John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Enrico Mattei and many others.
The network which ran this systemic transformation within the USA was a powerful group called “the Trilateral Commission”.
Co-founded by Chase Manhattan bank president David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the manifesto for this group was outlined by Brzezinski in his 1970 book ‘Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era’.
In this manifesto, Brezinski wrote:
“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”
The Bomb is Set
In order to get from one obsolete age of nationalism and the belief in scientific progress to a new age of post-nationalist world government, an intermediary period had to be created “in between two ages”. That intermediate age would call itself capitalism on the surface and America would be a Leviathan-like enforcer of this system of looting on a global stage.
During this time, supranational consortiums of international finance, corporate power and intelligence agencies beholden to no nation state would increasingly use the deregulation of the system under globalization to re-colonize western nations stripping them of all actual economic sovereignty and leaving them sovereign in name only.
The system that emerged under this new order was less capitalism and more an elaborate time bomb.
By virtue of its emphasis on the increased rates of fictitious capital accumulation, this new system of self-cannibalism would kill long term investments required to sustain society, and create a speculative bubble premised on ever increasing mountains of unpayable debt. This bomb would blow up like the early bubbles that had been set to pop in 1929 New York and even earlier in 1923 Germany with “scientifically managed” forms of fascist governance offered as solutions.
As the Trilateral Commission was taking control within the USA, a former student of Kissinger named Klaus Schwab was co-founding a new organization in Switzerland called the World Economic Forum (originally named the European Management Fund).
This new organization would serve in tandem to the Bilderberger Group established in 1956 by Dutch Prince (and World Wildlife Fund co-founder) Bernhardt and serve as an influential platform for the world’s elite to plan and coordinate a supranational game plan designed to nudge the world into a new utopia.
World Economic Forum co-founder (and later chairman) was a Canadian Rockefeller protégé named Maurice Strong who had leapt from mining executive to leading controller of Canada’s Liberal Party during the 1960s to become an international leader of the neo-Malthusian revival heading the United Nations’ first environmental conference in Stockholm in 1972. Described lovingly by Schwab as “my mentor”, it was at Davos that Maurice Strong began openly advocating world government and population control which became a loud theme throughout his life. It was in reference to the Davos group that Strong had mused in 1991:
”What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
One frequent WEF guest was another Trilateral Commission member who had first coined the term “Davos man” in 2004. His name was Samuel P. Huntington, and in 1975, he took part in a Trilateral Commission study called “Crisis in Democracy” where he wrote:
“We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of democracy… a government which lack authority will have little ability to impose on its people the sacrifices that will be necessary”.
Here a theme is raised which is characteristic of all techno-feudal thought: The nation state’s only purpose is to serve as an appendage for a supranational elite in order to enforce: 1) limits to growth onto civilization, and 2) draconian sacrifices that no democratic people would willfully permit being imposed onto themselves or their children.
On the Verge of a New Age
Today, the new age which golden collar elites of the Davos clique have made their religious mission to bring online as part of an anti-Christian scientific paganism, has been called “the fourth industrial revolution”.
To recap: The period of chaos launched in 1971 with the floating of the dollar was never capitalism.
It was always just a temporary social Darwinist age of pillage and hedonism masquerading as capitalism which could do nothing but collapse by its very nature.
Over fifty years into this age of chaos, nation states of the trans Atlantic community have been systematically stripped down of anything which rendered them economically sovereign.
Yes, there are still certain confused sparks of life from republican forces in piecemeal form within parts of the USA, and Europe which still value freedom, but the sort of political or economic sovereignty once enjoyed during the times of Kennedy and de Gaulle are long gone. Privatizations, outsourcing of industry and atrophy of infrastructure has resulted in a transfer of power to the hands of an immensely wealthy oligarchical class.
The defenders of humanity today are found among the Multipolar Alliance led by Russia, China and a growing array of nations who want to have a future.
These are nations which are being led by statesmen who recognize the existential value of real economic growth, nationalism, long term planning, and scientific progress which are needed to bring humanity out of the fire sweeping across the world and into a future worth living in.
It is this emerging new paradigm which a frightened Guterres referred to when he said:
“I fear our world is creeping towards two different sets of economic, trade, financial, and technology rules, two divergent approaches in the development of artificial intelligence—and ultimately two different military and geo-political strategies. This is a recipe for trouble. It would be far less predictable and far more dangerous than the Cold War.”
In a future report we will dig more deeply into the question of “HOW did this oligarchical clique embed itself within the United States during the Cold War and induce an emerging baby boomer generation to democratically de-construct Judeo Christian civilization?”
PART TWO
Cultural Warfare in the 20th Century: How Western Civilization Came Undone
Which future wins out in the unfolding battle over humanity will be shaped by the decisions and discoveries we make (or fail to make) in the days ahead, Matthew Ehret writes.
In my last article “Guterres and the Great Reset: How Capitalism Became a Time Bomb”, I made the case that the time bomb justifying a Great Reset of civilization was set into motion over 50 years ago. In that location, we were introduced to a cast of characters surrounding the World Economic Forum and Trilateral Commission who played instrumental roles in bringing about a controlled disintegration of western civilization.
Despite the fact that this un-natural transformation occurred over the dead bodies of great statesmen of the 1960s, a question still lingers: HOW did the western nations… especially the United States, so deeply shaped by a love of freedom, wilfully relinquish its democratic institutions in favor of a new system of supranational governance and de-growth? How did the very people who were targeted for destruction not only let this happen but in some cases even aide and abet the perpetrators?
Epistemological Warfare in America
Here it helps to look to the writings of an imperial grand strategist who is too often championed as a defender of freedom: Aldous Huxley.
While Aldous’ brother Julian was reshaping the global paradigm by re-packaging eugenics under several new costumes post-1945, Aldous’ creative juices were driven entirely by his role as a cultural warrior.
Grand children of Thomas Huxley who was commissioned to re-organize the British Empire in the late 1850s, both grandchildren vigorously embraced the family business working closely with the elite Bloomsbury Group of Bertrand Russell, and John Maynard Keynes between 1914-1937.
Among these creative misanthropes, Lord Bertrand Russell (another celebrated pacifist) had gone far in outlining the sort of bone chilling ideal that Darwinian laws of evolution demanded be humanity’s destiny under a scientifically managed priesthood. In his 1930 Scientific Outlook, Russell stated:
“The scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researchers of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play…. All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called `co-operative,’ i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.”
“Except for the one matter of loyalty to the world state and to their own order, members of the governing class will be encouraged to be adventurous, and full of initiative. It will be recognized that it is their business to improve scientific techniques and to keep the manual workers contented by means of continual new amusements”.
Huxley would have Russell’s thesis firmly in mind when he began writing his Brave New World in 1931.
Aldous Goes to Work
Having set up his base of operations in Hollywood in 1937, Aldous lived out his days in the USA writing scripts for Hollywood, exploring psychotropic drugs and coordinating a new cultural movement that would soon overtake the youth growing up amidst the insanity of the Cold War.
In an infamous 1962 speech titled “The Ultimate Revolution”, Aldous Huxley outlined the principles of this new science of governance telling adoring fans amidst the wannabe alphas in the Berkeley auditorium:
“If you are going to control any population for any length of time, you must have some measure of consent. It’s exceedingly difficult to see how pure terrorism can function indefinitely. It can function for a fairly long time, but I think sooner or later you have to bring in an element of persuasion, an element of getting people to consent to what is happening to them. Well, it seems to me that the nature of The Ultimate Revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques, which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably always will exist, to get people, actually, to love their servitude.”
Getting people to love their servitude would be made possible by an array of new techniques outlined in both Huxley’s fiction and non-fiction writings and put into motion by the hard work of CIA-funded laboratories working under secretive umbrella of Allan Dulles’ MK Ultra. Utilizing many techniques pioneered by Nazi psychiatrists in WWII, one of the primary objectives of MK Ultra was to deconstruct the human psyche using a mix of electroshock therapy, psychotropic drugs and other conditioning in order to reconstruct personalities from scratch by professional psychiatrists. As Naomi Klein demonstrated in her famous book The Shock Doctrine, the idea behind MK Ultra was always to extend these behavioral techniques to reprogramming entire groups, societies and nations.
Within Huxley’s Brave New World, psychotropic drugs (soma), cultural norms driven by pre-adolescent sensualism, constant Tinder-esque sexual escapades, the disintegration of family units and hyper-sensualized entertainment (dubbed “feelies”) did the job nicely. Huxley’s dystopia featured a society which had successfully evolved to become a total oligarchy with a scientific priesthood managing the test tube babies bio engineered to become alphas, betas, gammas or the lowly toilet cleaning epsilons reminiscent of the sub-human Morlocks described in H.G. Wells’ earlier Time Machine. In Huxley’s world, family units have long since disintegrated with the nation state and any belief in God.
In his 1958 Brave New World Revisited, Aldous decries the ultimate evil caused by faith in scientific and technological progress as an illusion which cannot provide an escape from the ultimate determining law of humanity: overpopulation. Citing creative breakthroughs in atomic power, space exploration and medicine, Huxley bemoans how each time humanity solves a problem that allows us to save more lives, the species replicates at faster rates bringing about the inevitable Malthusian problems of future wars for resources, diseases and the breeding of the inferior races.
Huxley writes:
“In this second half of the twentieth century we do nothing systematic about our breeding; but in our random and unregulated way we are not only over-populating our planet, we are also, it would seem, making sure that these greater numbers shall be of biologically poorer quality. In the bad old days children with considerable, or even with slight, hereditary defects rarely survived. Today, thanks to sanitation, modern pharmacology and the social conscience, most of the children born with hereditary defects reach maturity and multiply their kind.”
In another speech delivered to the University of California in 1961, Huxley elaborated on this bone chilling plan saying:
“There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel – by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”
Huxley knew that if this sort of brainwashing were successfully induced, the ruling oligarchy could ensure that the hedonistic identities of those coming of age within this controlled environment would detach themselves from outdated concepts like nationalism, love of family, or religion, in order to create LSD-driven personal “micro-realities”. Honoring the past and sacrificing for the future became replaced with a new wisdom of “living in the now”.
Huxley was happy to discover that LSD-25 mixed with cannabis, hashish and mescaline was a perfect supplement for soma writing in his 1958 Revisited:
“In LSD-25 (lysergic acid diethylamide) the pharmacologists have recently created another aspect of soma – a perception-improver and vision-producer that is, physiologically speaking, almost costless. This extraordinary drug, which is effective in doses as small as fifty or even twenty-five millionths of a gram, has power (like peyote) to transport people into the other world. In the majority of cases, the other world to which LSD-25 gives access is heavenly; alternatively it may be purgatorial or even infernal. But, positive, or negative, the lysergic acid experience is felt by almost everyone who undergoes it to be profoundly significant and enlightening. In any event, the fact that minds can be changed so radically at so little cost to the body is altogether astonishing.”
During his time in the United States coordinating this new countercultural insurgency, Aldous recruited a young professor of psychiatry named Timothy Leary to his cause. Describing his interaction with Huxley as the two planned this final revolution, Leary wrote in 1983:
“We had run up against the Judeo-Christian commitment to one God, one religion, one reality, that has cursed Europe for centuries and America since our founding days. Drugs that open the mind to multiple realities inevitably lead to a polytheistic view of the universe. We sensed that the time for a new humanist religion based on intelligence, good natured pluralism and scientific paganism had arrived.”
The Creation of Organized Schizophrenia
How the counter-culture was formed in the bowels of such oligarchical psychiatric mental meatgrinders like London’s Tavistock Institute and was applied by psychiatric shock troops strategically placed across all schools, military, unions, corporate boards and government bureaucracies throughout the years is beyond the scope of this present article, although it was explored in a recent video by this author.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zow-CrQgZOo?feature=oembed]
What must be kept in mind for our present purposes is that cultural warfare during this intense post WW2 period was full spectrum in nature- taking every major branch of human life into account and extracting all traces of creative reason, universality, Freedom, and Truth anywhere it could be found.
Whether it was in the fine arts and music or whether it was in scientific practice, new dualisms were imposed severing logical thinking from the “pollution” of subjective emotions. Where the arts became shaped increasingly by hedonism liberated from reason (with a “high” post-modern art for the elites and a “low” populist art for the dumb masses), the sciences became governed by the dogmatic faith in cold mathematical sterility governed by “statistics”, entropy, and blind fatalism.
Random paint splashes of CIA-funded artists like Jackson Pollock or the fuzzy squares of Mark Rothko became the new artistic ideal while scientists found themselves trained to think like computers modelling their minds of the methods of Bertrand Russell’s Principia, Norbert Weiner’s Cybernetics and John von Neumann’s Information Theory. Bertrand Russell’s role coordinating the CIA’s Congress for Cultural Freedom should not be lost on anyone.
With the severing of creativity from reason, the minds of those processed by this new cultural field was increasingly shaped by blind rules and axioms enforced by expert consensus rather than personal acts of discovery. Computer modelling thus found itself replacing acts of genuine human thought and within this sterile intellectual climate, a new cult of artificial intelligence began to find fertile soil to grow its perverse roots.

When mixed with heavy doses of imperial wars, assassinations, coups, and the looming threat of nuclear annihilation, the parents of the baby boomers had no clue what evil they were dealing with as their children were absorbed into a new drug/sex-ridden cultural field that no one had ever experienced before. Schizophrenic chaos in the world bred schizophrenic chaos in the culture as increasingly large arrays of youth gave up on reality in order to “tune in, turn on and drop out”.
Throughout the 1960s, patriotic forces around the world rallied to revive the spirit of scientific and technological progress which these neo-Malthusians despised so much. President John F Kennedy attempted to amplify Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace along with large scale investments into Africa, Asia and Ibero America alongside leaders of the Pan African and Pan Arab world who were committed to ending colonialism and bringing their people into the 21st century.
After Kennedy’s murder, Charles de Gaulle worked with international co-thinkers like Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson, Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and German Chancellor Adenauer to bring about a coalition of progress which peaked in 1968 with Bobby Kennedy’s inevitable leadership of the United States.
Just as in the period of the late 19th century when a win-win system of international cooperation was threatening to replace the dying Hobbesian system of the British Empire, a dense string of coups, color revolutions and assassinations ensured the crushing of this dynamic as a new age of post-industrialism, Anglo-American imperialism and monetarism was unleashed onto an unsuspecting society.
The Club of Rome Takes the Stage
In this new post-1968 political climate, new scientific conferences were organized in an attempt to impose statistic modelling premised on systems analysis onto biological, economic and especially ecological systems. Extrapolating present trends into the future and disregarding the sorts of non-linear qualitative leaps caused by creative thought allowed this new breed of scientist to “predict” the inevitable crises caused by population growth and the diminishing returns on finite resources.
The iconic study for this new scientific movement was the Club of Rome-commission MIT report Limits to Growth that “predicted”, as Malthus had done two centuries earlier, the point of crisis when population pressures would outstrip nature’s bounty- giving technocrats managing humanity the tools needed to make the proper sacrifices in the present.
When figures like Mark Carney discuss the “greening of global finance” and placing monetary values upon the reduction of carbon footprints, this is the sick and unscientific foundation of their thinking. Where formerly, humanity valued economic growth via scientific and technological progress (and implicitly the support of increased numbers of people at higher standards of life), the new system of “values” promoted by these misanthropes demanded that profit be tied to the reduction of human activity on the earth.
Club of Rome co-founder Aurelio Peccei, who presented at the inaugural World Economic Forum meetings in Davos, stated: “The economy and the ecology are inextricably united…. A strategy of generating wealth and one of safeguarding this patrimony are opposed. Activities that generate wealth but destroy the natural patrimony even more, create negative value”.
Former President of the World Federation of Mental Health during the high point of MK Ultra, Margaret Mead (wife of MK Ultra controller Gregory Bateson) presided over one such 1975 conference on the environment and atmosphere sponsored by the Club of Rome (this club also being an early sponsor of the World Economic Forum in 1971). Echoing the spirit of Russell and Huxley earlier, Mead called for the creation of a new science of statistics premised on equating pollution to climate change that would become internally consistent and shape the behavior of humanity going into the 21st century. The focus was always population control. In her speech Mead said:
“The unparalleled increase in the human population and its demands for food, energy, and resources is clearly the most important destabilizing influences in the biosphere. We are facing a period when society must make decisions on a planetary scale.”
“What we need from scientists are estimates, presented with sufficient conservatism and plausibility but at the same time as free as possible from internal disagreements that can be exploited by political interests, that will allow us to start building a system of artificial but effective warnings, warnings which will parallel the instincts of animals who flee before the hurricane. [We must] draw from the necessary capacity for sacrifice. It is therefore a statement of major possibilities of danger, which may overtake humankind, on which it is important to concentrate attention”.
Rather than seeing science as a field for optimistic problem solving, this misanthropic cult of elitists demanded that science be redefined around a “new wisdom” of adapting to problems real or imagined. This cynical science of “problematique” (the science of problems) assumed that since all creative discovery caused population growth, the real enemy was found in the naïve optimists who believe it good to promote discoveries. Mead ridiculed those cultural optimists who rejected this cynical view of science saying:
“Those who react against prophets of doom, believing that there is not adequate scientific basis for their melancholy prophecies, [for they] tend to become in turn prophets of paradisiacal impossibilities, guaranteed utopias of technological bliss, or benign interventions on behalf of mankind that are none the less irrational just because they are couched as ‘rational.’ They express a kind of faith in the built-in human instinct for survival, or a faith in some magical technological panacea.”
Using more truthful language, Club of Rome co-founder Sir Alexander King stated in the preface of The First Global Revolution (1991):
“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”
Today’s world is being pulled by two opposing dynamics.
The prophets of doom who set the time bomb in place half a century ago giddily prepare their utopian Great Reset which demands vast bloodletting as an overpopulated humanity be sacrificed by a modern pagan scientific priesthood devoted to Gaia and computer models. On the other hand, the spirit of progress and open system thinking has come alive in the form of the multipolar alliance which premises its planning on an opposing set of assumptions about the nature of humanity, creative thought, value, economics, progress and natural law.
Which future wins out in this battle over humanity will be shaped by the decisions and discoveries we make (or fail to make) in the days ahead.

Sure do appreciate the mention. Just look what you did for Margaret Anna…..lol.
Thank God I made a fun comment at ya cuz it made you post … we’re now up four. Woo hoo!!!
That’s weird because it got 2,573 comments on the Source website.
Maybe I should have included the word ‘Covid’ or ‘nigger’ in the title?
Both are real crowd pleasers. You can’t go wrong. Jews is a good one too, or is that going too far?
How about “How western nigger civilization lost the covid battle”?
No need to thank me.
“How western nigger civilization lost the covid battle started by the Chinks and funded by the Joos”
Fify
Trump. Toss out Trump and you’ll have to beat them off with sticks. I have a literal mind and beating off with sticks seems a tad…painful?
Hunter can sell you some kind of mind altering substance to diminish the pain-of course 10% still goes to Brandon.
Pretty sobering, it makes so much sense.
If one “side” within a country wants its destruction and the other “side” doesn’t, but the non-destruction-favoring side fights with one hand behind its back because of some antiquated notion of “principles”, then the destroyers succeed.
Yea. A lot of us have been saying that for years. It is one of the first things to become visible if you can manage to slip the conditioning.
The problem with all these articles attempting to find the “real” answer to “why the hell they are doing this madness” question is that no one knows where the top of the control pyramid is. We know there are multiple rings of power below it, and it is very likely that each ring down gets its own set of plausible reasons for explaining the agenda. “Overpopulation” could very well be one of those plausible reasons for higher rings, but there is no way to tell if this is the ultimate true reason. Just because some connected people talk about it, does not mean the top of the pyramid shares the same view. The top of the pyramid could be doing this for whatever selfish reason they may have up there. They could be real Satanists. Or they could be anti-Satanists and just be setting all the useful idiots up. It could be anything a perverted human mind can come up with. Ultimately though, this does not matter much, as our hardship will be about the same.
Satanists and “anti-Satanists” are all on the same team. Vis: the yin/yang. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is one tree. It is not the knowledge of good AND the knowledge of evil, but rather, the knowledge of good and evil. It is an amalgamation. Yin and yang is an amalgamation. It is a mixing together of the two, which yields an abominable con-fusion.
Thus, even the anti-Satanists are themselves Satanists.
To resolve the ultimate riddle, a question must be asked — but unfortunately, the question is never asked. Here, then, is the question:
What does Satan want? (What is Satan’s objective? What is Satan’s ultimate goal?)
To be like the Most High God?
Or, to be worshiped? (That seems to have been one of his goals when he tempted Jesus.)
That’s all I got for now
I’m looking forward to your answer, really.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.lockhaven.com/news/religion/2021/06/finding-faith-six-things-satan-wants-more-than-anything-else/&ved=2ahUKEwix-euG_sXzAhVSmXIEHc1MAbgQFnoECAwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3zu7UqUnB3mQCsIu_CLCzI
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? ‘Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished.
Hamlet goes on to say that, were it not for man’s fear of the unknown in a possible afterlife, ALL MEN would commit suicide, would self-destruct, in order to escape the difficulties of this existence.
Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.
This is Satan’s highest good. Oblivion.
But the problem is, the only way Satan can obtain his (its) goal, is through the elimination, the destruction and the undoing, of mankind, of God’s creation, and of God Himself. Satan exists because rebellious man exists.
Satan brings about his ends though the process of MIXING. Satan’s Tree — the Tree of Death; that is, the Tree of Mixing/Mingling of Good and Evil — is his work. See the opening chapter of Genesis. God sets apart and separates: the Day from the Night; the Light from the Darkness; the men from the beasts.
Satan labors to eliminate all of God’s boundaries, borders and barriers. Satan mingles the races, confuses the sexes. Satan hates borders between nations, tribes and tongues. God sets apart. Satan mixes everything together. It is through this process of mixing that Satan destroys. The process of mixing is the process of amalgamation. Satan seeks to mingle everything, in order to contaminate and destroy everything.
He seeks to mingle Light with Darkness. This would undo God’s work of creation. Satan seeks to mingle God with anything unclean. This would undo God — if such a thing were possible, which, it is not.
Satan KNOWS that he can never win the victory over God, but Satan is compelled to do as he does. He can do no other. As many times as he is set back or defeated, he continues on in his work, relentlessly. Beauty to Satan is an utterly amalgamated universe wherein BEING itself is mingled with non-being.
This is the impulse of destruction the rulers of this world are beholden to. They are, quite literally, the possessed swine from the Gospel of Luke, running downhill just as fast as they can, in order to drown themselves in the Abyss. They are truly Satan’s servants and his children. They are diseased and anti-life and are utterly powerless to stop themselves from obedience to the impulse of the Amalgamation Of All Things (i.e., the Great Work), which is none other than the Symphony of Destruction.
All of this demands an answer to another question:
What IS Satan?
I would not have guessed “oblivion” if I had 10 guesses. But, I do understand your reasons for saying so.
Here’s my problem, or question.
Satan destroys all of God’s creation, except himself, of course. He is now totally alone in the entire universe. He will remain so forever more because it does not appear that he has Creation Powers … especially creating Living Beings. Do you agree so far?
My “problem” is that I just can’t imagine a powerful and intelligent being would subject himself to that.
What good is it being God, or god-like, with no one to worship you?
—
Man, this joint is deader than a doornail this evening!
Also, I like it a lot better when we’re not at each other’s throats.
A little ‘swordplay’ now and then is how fellas test each other’s mettle. I’m a Mick/Guinea from New Jersey and I’ve made a lifetime of The Study, so you know me better than many. We’re cut from the same clay.
The name of the Living God is YHWH — however that is pronounced, we have no idea since Hebrew was a dead language for a long time. All we can do is guess. But the meaning is not in question. His name means: HE WHO IS. That is to say, He IS being itself, and is Himself the source of all being. This is how we may understand the entity who has at its core non-being.
Satan doesn’t want to be all alone in a dark universe. Satan wants to be a part of an amalgamated mess of everything. The biological analogue of this amalgamated mess is feces. Good food is consumed, the body breaks down the micronutrients into profitable energy for use or storage, and the temple (the body) is thereby restored, maintained and renovated. But the refuse is a disgusting and odoriferous amalgamation of that which was consumed.
Now consider feces on the spiritual level, of which the material is only a very basic component. Broad spectrum feces, if you will. This is Satan’s goal. This is what he would have God’s creation reduced to. Why? Because the signal defining characteristic of LIFE/BEING is differentiation. Conversely, the signal defining characteristic of anti-life/non-being is amalgamation.
Think of differentiation in nature — different faces, voices, trees, skies — no two exactly alike. LIFE.
The antonym to LIFE and the NATURAL is not death. Death is not oblivion. Death is an experience. Rather, the antonym is THE MACHINE. The Serpent has been turning God’s creation into a machine from long ago. First the Serpent made machines out of men — bureaucracies and armies of the first empires. Sumer. Babylon. Egypt…
…The Machine, that is The Beast, is now making men into machines. Men have been conditioned, have had their differences removed to a large extent. Technology is making mankind all alike. Differences in temperament and race are being machine-conditioned out of mankind. The differences between the sexes are likewise being eroded. This trajectory can be studied throughout recorded history, and it can be projected into the future.
Darkness and the Abyss are what lie in the future for mankind. The pigs will find their way into the sea.
What is Satan? Lucifer became Satan after he decided he wanted the worship God deserves.
Ezekiel 28:12-19 KJB… “Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God ; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.”
Lucifer “son of the morning” appears only one time in the KJB (Isaiah 14:12). he goes by many names since then. he WAS Gods most beautiful creature. he was to lead the rest of creation to worship the LORD.
Your final sentence here:
“…he was to lead the rest of creation to worship the LORD…”
…is, of course, speculation based on tradition. There isn’t anything in Scripture to suggest this was the intended purpose for the ‘Cherub’ — whatever a ‘Cherub’ is in actual fact. As I noted elsewhere on this board, there is no linguistic consensus on a definition for the term, nor does the Bible define the term. Speculation is therefore invited, but designing tradition around speculation is dangerous.
Thus far for ‘Cherub’ — if that is what the Adversary is being called according to the Word. Unfortunately, the Septuagint reading is different from the Masoretic Text:
Ezekiel 28:14
From the day that thou wast created thou wast with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.
Here we have a witness which completely undermines the tradition that the Adversary was ever an angel, which tradition is itself based on the assumption that ‘Cherub’ means some form of angel.
Recall that the Septuagint texts of the Old Testament Scriptures are quoted by the authors of New Testament Scripture more often than any other source.
All of this requires much attention and study, and it certainly indicates that we’re inviting trouble if we craft our understanding of the matter around what tradition teaches.
Read Ezekiel 10. Cherubs are mighty powerful and frightening things. Lucifer, as he was created, was a most beautiful thing; covered in jewels and (not that I understand how) musical instruments. The cherub that covereth… Gods most beautiful creature.
I do not align with the notion that Satan was once God’s most beautiful creature.
The result of my entire sober adult lifetime of study have shown me that Satan is something else entirely.
Satan is better understood as a RESULT than an actual creation. And consider the oroboros — the snake “eating” its own tail…
…this creature is both self-consuming and self-creating. The evil it brings about is not due to any portion of God’s creation going bad. Rather, the evil is a direct result of man’s rebellion. But that result is not constrained by linear chronological time, and therefore he who was, IS NOT, and is coming. Just like his “son” — the earthly counterfeit of the Son of God.
Satan copies everything God does. Albeit in dark, reversed, inverted and abominable ways.
The main point is this: OUR GOD’S HANDS ARE COMPLETELY CLEAN OF THE EVIL. Nothing He ever created, as He created it, went bad and turned evil on its own. The evil was introduced from somewhere. It came about as a result of something that has not even finished happening yet.
What they teach in the seminaries is boring and one-dimensional compared to the reality of existence in this world. There is no defect in the work of God.
The End and the Beginning are one. The City of God and the Garden of God are one.
“Satan is better understood as a RESULT than an actual creation.”
Then you’re not taking literally what the Bible says. Agreed sin, evil, darkness is the result of pride (self over God) but how do you explain away…
Ezekiel 28:13 KJB… “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”
This is a living creature we contend with right now. Every day. he enthralled the world more and more deeply in his lies.
No seminary for me. I do detect some “spiritualization” in your words.
You got it. 5 “I will” statements.
Isaiah 14:12-14 KJB… “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
He has the majority of the world convinced.
Because these questions are all dead ends, I think the correct answer is that there isn’t a satan. There is only disconnected from God and anywhere on a continuum of integration.
I think devils are a contrivance to simplify that concept. I don’t think actual Greek translations would contradict this.
The existence of Satan in the Greek Manuscripts is distinct and undeniable.
But a partial answer to the riddle is, Satan IS NOT.
You detect a incomplete truth when you suggest there is no Satan.
To behold Satan’s throne room is to behold an empty throne. But to deny that something sits on that throne, is to mistake the nature of the entity.
You hold in your hand a CD recording of a London Symphony Orchestra performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major.
Does the music on the CD actually exist?
That is supposed to make sense? There is an empty throne that something is sitting on?
My appeal to the original texts is that the definition of satan is never articulated, therefore my interpretation is not out of bounds. I find that holds true for everything people assign a metaphysical interpretation to. If you modify the definition to conform to the natural world, they work better.
The actual ‘definition’ of Satan as ‘accuser’ is clearly uncovered through etymology. That’s what the particular name means. The meaning of the name is delineated throughout the texts in course of the volume of Scripture. The written Word does have a great deal to say about this entity, and we’re beholden to analyze all of it to glean a fuller picture.
Do you know any Freemasons? Do you know what the great ‘reveal’ is for those who attain to the 33rd degree in the Scottish Rite? It is an empty room. But that’s not to say there’s nothing to learn from beholding and considering the empty room, any more than than the empty throne described above.
The Apostle Paul refers to ‘the god of this world/age.’ But the LORD Himself, in Isaiah 45:5, seems to contradict Paul. A closer look at this verse in Hebrew is instructive, but first the English (KJV):
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me…
But ‘there is no God beside me’ is not how the particle of negation appears in Hebrew. A literal rendering of the verse would be:
I am the LORD. There is NOTHING besides me (and) there is the god of nothingness…
This understanding eliminates the apparent contradiction between what God says here in Isaiah with what Paul says elsewhere in 2 Corinthians 4:4.
Maybe Kissinger will let something slip about the “they” once he is on his death bed.
Is it that they don’t know or is it that they lack the intestinal fortitude? They seem to know a lot of things that can only be found in circles like this.
The rise of Oligarchia in a nutshell. Some pigs just never get enough and are never satisfied.
When they have enough that they no longer know struggle, something seems to break.

Hey Stucky,
Thanks for sharing these two essays with us. Excellent analysis and very well presented. Gracias.
Good job on the post. It gives the backstory to what we are living through today. I don’t think we can derail their train of destruction, but I did have one thought.
The Great Reset requires a massive collapse in every aspect of society which the Elite seem to think they will be able to ride out and come out winners. I’m sure they anticipate that the Plebes will be trying to keep everything together and to rebuild, like putting on the brakes of the destructive slide. What would happen if instead of applying the brakes to try to limit the damage, we instead stomped on the gas and went Hell-for-Leather on a destructive rampage, ala Mad Max? If done properly, that could destroy the ability to control and guide that they cherish, and maybe even their survival could be at play.
Anyway, it’s something to think about.
Aye.
I just want Klaus Schwab to ‘own nothing’…
…and have him ‘like it’.
What sort of solution does Guterres envision?
He doesn’t envision. Guterras/leight of hand’s for the hand that feeds him…incl feeding him “visions.” (Or, slighting the hands that actually do feed, as opposed ostensibly feed, & as spelled another way, further down the piece.)
It is my contention that the thing labelled “capitalism” outlined by Schwab in his Great Reset speech above was never capitalism at all.
Correct. Capitalism, the unknown ideal (Rand). Cannibalism, & Mantis sex, it’s what’s for dinner/dessert (Dahmer).
consumer society cult
“Consumer society cult” was largely, if not completely, responsive ~ a la Pavlov et al ~ destruction of the purchasing power of the fully fiatized currency. Nobody accuses the Weimar unter(don’t)menschen(it), trundling wheelbarrows full of tp marks for to buy up a case of bedpans as “consumer society cult” – because it would be just as incorrect. And as the currency became ever more disposable, so did “consumer goods” – bye-bye, built to last, hello planned obsolescence junk. And even as people going thru that time & place were getting conditioned good & hard, there were still plenty around who’d lived thru the previous great – but shrinking next to the greater one being engineered – depression. Put the skeer on ‘em, & keep ‘em skeered. ~ Nathan Bedford Forrest Or, once you’ve imbalanced the victim (with more than a little help from the victim), keep him imbalanced, don’t allow balance to return.
patriots such as Franklin Roosevelt
So fdr’s confiscation of peoples’ gold was patria-tism. Not parasitism. Not looting. I see.
“In the crash of 1929, Gore lost most of his money; in 1930 he returned to the Senate. Predictably, he fell foul of the new president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. By then, Gore was a populist turned conservative. He & the president quarreled over whether or not the dollar should go off the gold standard. “If you do,” said Gore, “you will have stolen the money of those who had faith in our currency.” Carter Glass, a senator present at the meeting, later told the blind Gore that the president had gone gray in the face. But Roosevelt took the currency off gold. Later, of the half-dozen senators that Roosevelt tried to purge in 1936, T.P. Gore was the only one to lose his seat for good.” ~ Palimpsest, A Memoir, Gore Vidal

Uh-oh. “Duality” strikes fear into the monocle-wearing monoballed wet dream monosphere Guterres mouths for & on. It is one thing. The monopoly-machine wants it to be their one thing. That’s the 1’s, & the 0’s.
HOW
People are mostly Milgramweight. That is to say lighter than chicken feathers below the ankles & above the neck. They run around as “ordered.” & when eventually those charging lightheaded brigades get even lighter, as in decapitated, they run around even harder (some call that spurting spasm voting harder…).
controlled disintegration
Controlled demolition. 9/11 groundhog day. I ain’t no congenitally defective optimist, but the guy that did Phil Connors also did Larry Darrell in Maughm’s Razor’s Edge – & I do think Occam’s gonna rock ‘em sock ‘em, yet again, just like all the other times. I hate the waste of it, tho, the stupidity that permanently loops. Rodents & their goddamned shadows.

So AH (Ah so?) was more of the same telegraphy? A lot of these wizeguise do seem to love to preview coming attractions. Coulda been an actor but I wound up here in my dirty laundry. Now, clean my laundry, plebe.
“micro-realities”
Well, speaking of competing illusions, the raw material people of the past bequeathed, generation by generation, the raw material people of the present. And “this present moment” is not only not a new concept of diabolism, it is a fact, whether a realist says it, or a “micro-realist” does. As always, How the thing is done, or used (followed closely by why) is what matters. Context vs con•text. The latter has always vastly outnumbered the former, & it always will.

Dystopia script checks all the usual suspect boxes. Does not check, also as usual, the Keyser Söze assumptions.

Kneejerk neck & neck with that noose-tight tie is the “educated” notion of authorship, which is just conceit constricted into hubris.

When the first ‘Gender Neutral’ doll came out they tested a group of girls and then boys with it.

Hard to imagine there’s a more fucked up state in ‘Murika … and that includes NY/NJ
I consider “God bless America” at this point to be extreme sacrilege. This nation doesn’t even exist, though. Just its decedents diluted to a tiny minority.
I tend to be a bit of a fatalist upon reading things like this.
If, on the one hand, the people running the show at the highest levels are ultra-power, entrenched, super-geniuses with myriad undetectable, overwhelming psychological tools and are intractably evil…well then, eventually, to be sure, we are all fucked.
If, on the other hand, these people are deluded and detached–but still powerful and entrenched–full of misguided dreams, doomed to fail, well, then, eventually we are all fucked.
We are here for but a short while, and while there are things that are generally good and genuinely evil, no matter what the True nature of things, and no matter what we do, there are games being played way over all of our heads. So be it. Instead of trying to “win” an infinite game (by definition one not designed to be won, but rather merely continued) we have chance to find some joy, some love and some meaning. And these things no matter how temporary, are far better that what these psychopaths have any chance of finding.
I despise them, sure, I will oppose them in whatever ways I find opportunity to do so, and, I suppose, I fear the things they will bring about. But winning, at the lofty, nonsensical games they have set before themselves, is not something that they can or will ever do. Maybe God Himself opposes them, maybe just reality. Who knows? Play the small games well, conduct yourself honorably, love with all you’ve got and you have far more than any of these people ever will.
Do not fear these people and never envy them. Pity is closer to the way I fell about them, but really its indifference. I know I am minuscule in the grand scheme of things. They wrongly believe themselves great.
One final point. Humanity itself IS the problem of course. It is also, maybe the most, maybe the only truly interesting thing that has ever happened in our vast and ancient cosmos. Far more so than rocks and amoebas and fish and dinosaurs, et al that have been around for so much longer than us and in such greater numbers. It isn’t about time, or size or quantity.
We’re Human. We’re Here Now. We’re not here for long. Let’s try to do something useful, maybe even something beautiful with it.
DRUD, have you returned and were once Tolstoy himself?
Tolstoy wrote to his wife: “I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness. And then, on the top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps — what more can the heart of man desire?”
And Tolstoy wrote:
“There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one; the regeneration of the inner man.
How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”
“Understand that all the evils from which you suffer, you yourselves cause by yielding to the suggestions by which yourselves cause by yielding to the suggestions by which emperors, kings, members of parliament, governors, officers, capitalists, priests, authors, artists, and all who need this fraud of patriotism in order to live upon your labour, deceive you!”
Oddly enough, though, Tolstoy left out something we all know. I saw a movie once where a regenerate and dying father was offering “pearls,” as he called them, to his son regarding the point of life: “young pussy.” Isn’t that obvious? It all began in the Garden of Eden. Mao as one of the most powerful men in history ended his evenings with a girl chosen from a nightly parade of entertainers. Tony Curtis on a talk show one time when he was in his 70’s made it a point to “thank all the girls.” What do we see on every yacht, on every arm of men of means and celebrity? And every boy has his “crushes” on those young actresses and singers while the little girls scream for the rockers on stage.
Could it be that the “regeneration of the inner man” Tolstoy speaks of would demand of us the rejection of sexual thoughts and acts? Did Jesus do this? Did he arise from the dead, ascend, and become immortal?
We as a society may soon have revealed to us the great evils that drive the powerful among us to a greater extent than we thought possible: adrenochrome and slavery. How will we act then?
Thanks for the reply and the compliment, Bigfoot.
The simple things. We tend to forget them. For those that would rule, they have been fully eliminated from their psyches. There is only an endless lust for MOAR. More money, more power.
On the other point, I have said several times here, Lust is one of the tools the Evolution uses to get our genes into the future. It is also a poison to healthy society. It must be kept in balance…not eliminated, of course, but not allowed to run rampant. For some men, the endless search for pleasure and novelty, is tied to the lust for power. Incredibly destructive. In a way, I just say there but for the Grace of God go I. Who knows what I would become if I had such power? Our psyches are deep, endless, with many dark places and they are not under our full control. We are always somewhat mysteries even to ourselves.
It superpositions could be aware of each other… well they just couldn’t.
