A ‘Pathological liar’ is absolutely the toughest individual to deal with as a psychiatrist. Because you can’t take anything they say at face value. And you can’t, you know, fill in their personality. You don’t know what’s real and what’s not. – Dale Archer
SUE GRAY’S REPORT is out and it’s not pretty – Britain now has a major problem: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jan/31/faced-with-the-gray-report-johnson-was-left-without-honesty-and-without-honour We all know, and it’s common knowledge, that Boris Johnson is a pathological liar. He doesn’t seem to know when he’s being dishonest.
After the public rumpus over PartyGate he is still at it – denying the obvious. The Commons Speaker has rebuked Boris Johnson for making a false insinuation that Keir Starmer refused to prosecute the serial sex offender Jimmy Savile, but stopped short of demanding an apology.
Keir Starmer saw the faces of the Conservative MPs, the disgust on their faces that their prime minister was debasing himself by sinking so low in the chamber was clear. “He’d been advised not to do it because it’s obviously not true, but he does it because he doesn’t understand what honesty and integrity means. Many of them expressed that to me, disgust at their prime minister for debasing himself in the House of Commons instead of acting with the contrition and the integrity that he should have shown yesterday.” This is not about the usual ‘cut-and-thrust’ in the House: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/01/boris-johnson-keir-starmer-jimmy-savile-smear-julian-smith
However, on occasion I know people guilty of being ‘economical with the truth’. I know I have been although I do my best to ‘tell it as it is’, I do sometimes fail. I guess it is about my true intentions but I do try hard to be as honest as possible given the frailty of our innate psyche. Boris is far and away removed from this forgivable quirk of human nature.
My experience during counselling training in the 1990s helped me in this respect. It reinforced my training at Xerox in the 1970s where we were encouraged to exhibit behaviours of: ‘HAGS’ (Xerox loves acronyms):
- Honesty
- Authenticity
- Genuineness
- Sincerity
Now it appears that Boris was about to lockdown over Christmas until persuaded otherwise by some key members of his Cabinet:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10455739/How-Cabinet-stopped-Boris-insane-plan-cancel-Christmas.html this disappointed me no end because it was my last pillar of support for Boris after he ”Got Brexit Done’ and saved Britain from a fate worse than death in the EU. He, in common with other leaders like Biden, has failed us miserably.
The following is based on an original article by Jeffrey Tucker who is an independent editorial consultant and served as Editorial Director for the American Institute for Economic Research. He is the author of many thousands of articles in the scholarly and popular press and eight books in five languages, most recently, ‘Liberty or Lockdown’. He speaks widely on topics of economics, technology, social philosophy, and culture.
Before you read on just take just 2 minutes to listen to this fearless hero and take heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxaFsE_J5YA
THE NATIONAL PRESS in America barely covered the anti-mandate, anti-lockdown rally in D.C. the other Sunday, and when they did, they mostly described it as an “anti-vaccine rally.” That’s a ridiculous thing to say about an event involving some 10K-plus people who have had enough of the coercive impositions of the last two years.
To be in attendance, they braved the cold, the cruelties of today’s plane travel, the D.C. vaccination and mask mandates, the prospect of being doxxed from facial recognition technology, plus the financial strains that have hit so many families due to business closures and inflation.
All differences of opinion aside, the main message was that everyone has a right to freedom. Let’s get back to the progress we were experiencing in our lives before this great disruption.
Why did it take so long for Americans finally to hit the streets in protest? For one thing, it was mostly illegal to do so from March 13, 2020, onward. States imposed stay-at-home orders and limited gatherings to 10 people.
People couldn’t meet for civic clubs, church, family reunions, much less anything vaguely political. They forcibly separated people for many months. When the George Floyd protests began, they got the green light but that light later turned red again.
The Backlash Is Here: Today there is massive pent-up frustration out there, alongside depression, ill health, financial hardship and generalised shock to discover that we live in countries where freedom can no longer be taken for granted. We know now that at any moment, they can close our businesses and our churches and take away our right to travel or even to show a smile, on any pretext, it’s absolutely astonishing! But now, at last, many professionals of repute are reconsidering their stance on lockdowns. It’s taken two bloody years! https://summit.news/2022/02/02/new-johns-hopkins-study-lockdowns-have-had-little-to-no-public-health-effects-and-imposed-enormous-economic-and-social-costs/
Is a backlash coming? Not ‘coming’, it’s already here, witness the heroic Canadian Truckers lighting the roaring fires of resistance. The Predatory Globalists have absolutely overplayed their hand this time. In the coming few years, they will rediscover that rulers in every society must acquiesce to the consent of the governed over the long term.
When that consent is withdrawn, the results can be wildly unpredictable, but they generally mitigate against the rulers and in favour of a new way of doing things. How can I be so confident about this? History is a great teacher and students of this rewarding discipline can often imagine the future. It comes down to differing ways in viewing the course of history.
Is There a Direction to History? The Fourth Turning is on a trajectory headed toward great culminating events that will overturn all our established norms and instigate a new order. Every moment in history points toward this end state. This is Hegel and Marx and a slew of crazy ideologues who think in a millenarian tradition. Also, some apocalyptic religious traditions hold this view, the perception of inevitability somehow baked into the stream of events has made a great deal of mischief over time.
History is just one thing after another with no particular rhyme or reason. Anyone who tries to make sense of it is inventing mirages of meaning that do not exist in reality. That view was generally held by English philosopher David Hume (but it’s a crude summary). There is something to this idea, but it doesn’t quite take account of certain observable ebbs and flows.
History is cyclical, according to Strauss & Howe, with 80-year repeating rhythms, overlapping rounds of error and truth, good and evil, liberty and power, progress and reaction, bull and bear markets, recession and recovery, centralization and decentralization, and these rhythms are powered mainly by the ebb and flow of psychopatic elite forces within the population that shape them.
Reality Check: These last two years have been defined by a theme: centralisation of power. It’s happened in technology. It’s affected politics. It’s extant in the fake financial markets. It’s even true in media culture, despite the rise of the internet. Centralisation and coordination on a global basis has overwhelmed and dumbfounded us all. Before the ‘Covidian Cult’ arrived we assumed:
- That there was some integral relationship between private life and political life, such that the aspirations of the ruled, albeit fuelled by ‘pseudo-democracy’, were somehow impactful on our rulers, until suddenly we were shown this was not the case
- We previously believed that our MSM, social-media and digital spaces were our own, until we were taught that they aren’t; they are now owned by GloboCap.
- We previously believed that the Bill of Rights protected us, that our court systems more or less worked, that there were certain things that simply could not happen to us due to law and tradition, and then suddenly there were no limits to elitist power.
Why has all this happened now? The progress of this Fourth Turning, during the 21st century, has established institutions questioned and challenged. The internet has been a massive force for decentralisation in every area of life: technology, media, government and even money. In reaction to the rise of popularism the ruling Globalists have doubled down, and after twenty years of planning, have begun to implement their Great Reset.
Goodbye to the Old Order: We’ve seen over the last decade or perhaps two a gradual melting away of the old order and the emergence of a new one with a promise of empowering individuals and all social classes in new ways we had not previously envisaged. Think what this means for the old order. It means a massive loss of power and profit. It means the transformation of the relationship between the individual and the state, plus what media we consume, what money we use, what rules we obey, how our children are educated, and the businesses with which we trade and so on.
In other words, the ruling elite class faced the biggest and most disruptive threat to their power in generations. This was the state of the world in 2019. It wasn’t just about Trump but he symbolized the possibility of dramatic change even at the highest levels. The main point is that he was never one of “them”; in fact, he hated “them.” Of all people, he was not supposed to be president and yet there he was, tweeting and disregarding protocol and generally behaving like a loose cannon. And his presidency coincided with a growing restlessness in the population. Something had to be done, something really big. Something had to happen to remind the unruly masses who is in charge.
Therefore, the most powerful interest groups set to lose in the newly decentralised order of the future decided to act. They would reassert their power in ways that would inspire shock and awe. They had to convince the president to go along and they finally did that. The result was what we’ve lived through for two years. It has been nothing less than a display of power and control. Some have been traumatized in ways we’ve never imagined possible. Our workplaces have been disrupted or shut. They managed to end religious freedom for a time. The freedoms we all believed were our right and which were growing by the day came to a dramatic and stunning halt.
We “went medieval” exactly as The New York Times called for on Feb. 28, 2020.
Who is in charge? In the spring of 2020, the entire ruling class shouted in unison, not just here, but all over the world: “We are in charge!” This has been planned for many years and was born of fear and frustration that the world was changing too quickly as the elites saw their power and control begin to erode.
The Reactionary Impulse: In retrospect, it seems obvious that the great decentralisation would not be a soft landing for the old order. There would be shattering bumps along the way like the 2008 global financial meltdown that rocked the market Gods and started QE. We saw a near repeat of this in September 2019 when the Repo market had a fit. Lockdowns and mandates ultimately stemmed from a coordinated reaction to these events – follow the money. History is replete with these examples as when royals and religious establishments set out to crush the rise of liberalism.
If you think of their aim as “to take back our power,” it did accomplish this, for a time. But that’s not how they pitched it. They said they would stop and crush the rampaging bioweapon virus and that all your sacrifice would be worth it because otherwise you would die or have your life wrecked.
That agenda, fuelled by ridiculous propaganda and excessive media censorship is seen to be failing. In other words, the whole thing is being exposed as a massive fraud and a complete lie on a global scale. Yet even now they are not giving up easily, as witnessed by some European countries like Austria and Italy where stalwart disciples of Klaus Schwab are in command, as well as Biden in America, Australia, and NZ where a WEF ‘Global Young leader’ is in charge: https://www.younggloballeaders.org/community
Globalist Elites Have Earned Our Distrust: Lying has consequences as Boris is finding out. When a liar is exposed, people do not believe them in the future; when trust is lost it is almost impossible to recover: “The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite – Tennessee Williams” This is the situation currently faced by BigTech, BigMedia, BigGov, and BigPharma et al. They display and relish their power but they lack a degree of common sense and perception about the fundamentals of human nature. They certainly have not earned our trust, to the contrary they have created such a venom and hatred against them that consequences might well replicate events on 14 July 1789 – history could rhyme this time around.
This is why the seeds of revolt have been so deeply planted and why they are growing so mightily now. The driving goal here will be to restart the engine of progress back to what it was only two years ago, back to the push for the decentralist paradigm. The technology that was pushing that paradigm is not only still with us but it has been tested and dramatically advanced during lockdowns and mandates. We have more tools than ever before to confront and finally defeat the ruling class that seized so much power over these two years.
We have lived through such an enormous trauma, on an immense global scale, never before witnessed in the history of the world. It was driven by madmen like Saint Fauci and by reactionary elements among the ruling class, but it is likely a prequel to what comes next; a backlash against reaction and toward a new stage of progress. The forces of centralisation have had a field day, and a good run of it, but the forces of decentralisation are fighting back again with good odds of regaining the narrative again.
It’s real progress. But the battle is far from over.
I do not agree that the paradigm is centralization vs. de-centralization. It is globalism vs. Nationalism. High-trust nations function quite well when they have centralized authority. Japan is a great example. The key is a coherent culture and quality leadership. Canadian (mostly white) Nationalists are waging resistance against the global usurpers (mostly non-white and anti-white white) that have colonized them.
I would argue that globalism is a form of centralization.
I can’t think of anything more centralised than globalism and the UN Agenda 2030 that seeks to establish it – a global government. Returning to national borders restores our rulers to the confines of our respective constitutions and national laws, not to mention the specific cultures that abound in the disparate countries of Europe.
In UK the latest Boris fad (Michael Gove’s project) is encapsulated by “Levelling Up” – a reference to the poor North v the rich South. Here we see local or regional mayors having greater powers to move away from the centre. In my view, this is progress but I know little of the inner workings of other countries.
Perhaps the forces of secession will prevail in America in the future as the Democrats find their support waning and face looming losses at the Interims? I know that when I was in Texas in the 1990s I witnessed a high level of state pride and gung ho attitude which was so different from UK and most intoxicating for me.
I’m not sure that regional governments will bring more decentralization, Peter. I think there is every danger that they will become their own little fiefdoms run by Karens and Kens to screw the local population. True decentralization can only exist at the individual level, based on subsidiarity and each person’s willingness to take responsibility for their own lives and decisions. Unfortunately, the last two years have shown us that 70% of humans don’t want that kind of decentralization!
Yes, you are quite right Steve. It is sad that the vast majority have been so dumbed down in the face of prolonged Globalist propaganda and ‘nudge’ units that they are barely able to tie their own shoelaces. Though this doesn’t preclude the rest of us active DOERS from forming our own self-sufficient communities. I am working with several locals here in Bruton/Frome where we have active groups already. And our plans for a revision to our local governmental systems are in place here (it’s not updated for a while):
https://www.flatpackdemocracy.co.uk/
Isn’t globalism v nationalism pretty much the same thing as centralization v decentralization? The Brits decentralized by voting for Brexit and giving their nation state back (most) of its former powers. However, I agree that it is not always clear cut. Our nation is decentralized in theory, but all that means is that you have an oppressive local government breathing down your neck, as well as state and federal layers of government.
I agree, Steve, the vision of Brexit was indeed to take back our sovereign powers but since the Covid fiasco has intervened, little has been done to action much. We live in hope but at present Boris is focusing on trying to survive during what might be called an interregnum whilst the Chancellor is doing his bit to mitigate the violent rises in energy prices.
For example: My electricity bill for last year (we are all electric) was £1,400. This year it will be an estimated £2,100 on my projections. There are many worse off than me and I feel for them. The .gov have offered little today in the way of subsidies.
It will of course be a very difficult job to wrest away power from the centre whilst trying to stop them layering more sub-organisations underneath them. As you say, we end up with more and more government when the end goal is for small government at the centre. This is a central tenet of the Austrian School of Economics of which I am a part via https://mises.org/ My book is based on this model.
One of the most effective ways to administer pain is through the cost and availability of energy, whether it be heating fuels or transportation fuels. And, of course, our governments are right in the middle of the markets for such fuels with their endless regulations and taxes. As Ringo Starr once said “Every time the government touches something it turns to shit”-’nuff said…..
…….other than over on this side of the pond the most notable pathological liar in recent times was one William Jefferson Clinton.
“Every time the government touches something it turns to shit” Yes indeed, and a shining example is this gang of thieves embedded with Boris. But yesterday we find the rats leaving the sinking ship of state coinciding with the on-going police investigation. The next few months should be fun on this front.
It is interesting how-way back in the time of Trump-many of us over here thought of Boris as quite a good chap, deserving of the leadership role he wanted. Of course, the Brexit issue seemed something we mostly ill-informed Yankees felt should be supported whole heartedly and Boris seemed the guy to do it-at least at one time he did. As it usually turns out, out faith seems to have been misplaced; to say nothing of our near perfect record of getting hoodwinked by those for whom we vote into office. And, no need to mention how more than a few of us thought Tony Blair was a pretty good bloke also. Call us slow learners if you want.
I forgot to address your lament about the cost of electricity; our masters are likewise driving the price way up, availability down, and reliability of the grid is fast going to pot. They would like nothing more than to see our friends in Texas experience another brutal and deathly cold snap that takes the entire Texas system down for even longer this time.
In a similar way to your rats, the changing Covid narrative suggests a re-positioning of some of the players for either damage control or even for better advantage is happening. One would think Las Vegas should be making book on odds that Tony Fauci is soon going under the rear wheels of the bus before it is all over.
Hey, lets make a deal: if your police are successful with Boris and his gang how about sending them over here to take over and clean our mess up? Our fellows can no longer be bothered to do their job-at least at the federal level. In return, we’ll see if we can’t get a few more loads of LNG sent your way.
Wonderful work, thanks Higby and it’s good you help me smile in these dark days! 🙂
I shall be writing a personality assessment of Boris this weekend for next Thursday’s posting. So you can reserve judgement on whether to ask him over the pond until after you have read it!
I believe that the ruling elite are suffering from this common syndrome and Boris is a shining example!
https://www.britannica.com/science/Dunning-Kruger-effect
I’ll believe it when I see the first guillotine rolled out and the first globalist-elite head in a bucket.
So will I 🙂
Decentralization is the key. Local, as HSF and others say over and over again. I’m happy I’ve chosen the entrepreneurial path I have. My company is, first and foremost, about empowering 1-person businesses by giving them an industry dedicated SAAS.
Well said GNL – I support you entirely. I too believe, like HSF, that localised economies will be the way of the future as the wage-slaves of today vote with their feet. This is one valuable, unintended outcome of the lockdowns when people had time and space to reflect on their lives and discovered that they did, in fact, have a choice.
I believe this has empowered people entrapped in a merry-go-round of despair – going from a 12 hour gig-job, to a sleep of exhaustion then back on the job once more. In this dysfunctional design of the Amazon work pattern offers no hope and life becomes a prison.
The Great Resignation has begun and the elites will find that the DOERS, the producers will not be slaving for them any more.
http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-real-revolution-is-underway-but.html
One of the great ironies of this last two years, is that I actually find myself in some agreement with the WEF psychopaths: we do indeed have to build something back that is better than before. Our old way of life was a pretty awful mix of bread and circuses. We can do better, as you say! The only difference is that our version of BBB will be very different from that of maniacs like Schwab and Gates.
Yes indeed. There’s is a world of enslaved worker bees pandering to demands and needs of a tiny elite clique using their preferred CBDC tool of a social credit system when you own nothing and be happy. As you say, many would welcome this environment in the same way that children would rather not grow up and take responsibility for themselves. Here is a taste from China of what it might be like:
Johnson, Trump, Macron, Biden, Trudeau, all contemptible figures, are targets for derision. They divert attention and effort away from the real problems. If Johnson is discredited and stays in office he absorbs and diffuses discontent in futile opposition. If he resigns, some other clown takes his place and serves the same purpose.
Yes Arthur, you are not wrong here. Boris is so stubborn and bloated with the illusion his own self-importance; IMHO there is little likelihood that he will resign of his own volition. They will have to vote him out – a leadership contest will last for months – and we end up, as you say, with yet another clown to screw things up.
But again, we don’t have to comply – we can go off-grid if we so choose and I am sure many will especially if the BoE implements the final solution of CBDCs as described by Larry Fink and his “Going Direct” plan for the global financial system of the 2030’s.
https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/going-direct-how-central-banks-could-deal-with-the-next-downturn
Without being devil’s advocate, I sometimes wonder if it’s actually better if BoJo stays in power. He’s badly wounded and his reputation is in tatters. That means he’s far easier to push around and bully. If he goes, we’ll almost get some Central Office psychopath who will undo Brexit and try and keep the Wuflu scam going even longer. Better the devil you know…
Yes, indeed Steve, exactly my fears but unfortunately I assume Boris has lost all credibility within the Party and the people are pretty damned angry compounded because of his insult to the queen during her grieving last summer.
I am monitoring likely replacements and will be writing up progress during the Met’s investigations; by which time I may well be in Cape Town and it won’t impact me any more – I will merely observe from a distance and report with glee!
I realize I’m being a bit of a pest on your post, but I’ve been pretty much snowed in all day and have found some interesting tidbits…
You are never a pest Ghost – keep ’em coming! Oh, my wife would love to see snow, we don’t get much in Cape Town – me? not so much. I remember this and sadly WW is no more – good history. I’m off to bed, will get back to you tomorrow.
Hi Ghost, I got your email but I am on my laptop this Sunday morning – no email, which is on my main PC. Just to let you know I have to go to my youngest daughter’s 50th birthday party today – so ran out of time. I have a clear week coming (apart from snooker) so will get to it early in the week. All the best. 🙂
Peter, your comment made me think about a book I read decades ago when I was trying to impress the department chair at the University of Oklahoma’s history department who taught one class a semester and I managed to get into the already packed class, since I was a three-fer then, as my somewhat misogynistic husband said: a female, disabled Veteran female, and a decent looking female.
The highly regarded professor (gray-haired and serious nature) gave me a reserved seat in the class after I very nicely explained my interest in his “History of World War History” class was because my dear father was a former World War II Japanese POW.
Bingo! A Four-fer.
It was as fascinating class and it inspired me to take a couple more classes on international diplomacy. One was taught by a French Graduate student named Nathalie Guierre.* I really learned a lot from her, although her lectures were hard to follow. Back then, I had a better attention span and a real desire to learn, so I took copious notes on her lectures.
I understood the Diplomacy of Western Europe from a distinctly French point of view. Nathalie (she insisted I stop calling her professor since I was the “elder” of us and also a graduate student**) explained to me very seriously that the “State” and the “Country” are two very distinct entities in France and many European countries. In fact, they are two very different things in our own country, with the Bureaucracy (Corruptocracy) commanding the subservience of the people and of the law. How does this happen?
I didn’t understand how the people of France came to accept Raison d’état as if “national interest” were something that could cancel the pursuit of justice or lawful action. I don’t understand how citizens of formerly free nations have accepted it either.
But enough of them have to suggest this upheaval will bring another great realignment, not only politically and societally, but in geopolitical boundaries and alliances. Perhaps Alliances.
Which brings me back to your interesting observation about “inventing mirages of meaning” that brought Henry Kissinger’s PhD Thesis to mind. If you’ve never looked into Kissinger’s origins and role in American diplomacy, please jump to this presentation [https://www.vanderbilt.edu/olli/class-materials/Osher.Kissinger1960s.pdf] when you have time and perhaps you will see why your prose brought Kissinger to mind. His 350-page plus page Undergraduate Thesis from Harvard is titled “The Meaning of History” (link below) I also reviewed his Doctoral Thesis on Metternich, Castleraugh and the Problems of Peace, which was retitled “A World Restored” when published in 1957, three years after he was awarded his doctorate. (link also below)
A World Restored almost sounds like Build Back Better, doesn’t it?
I’m doing a lot of reading and studying these days, preparing my mind and heart for the battles which are obviously coming. I’m so very glad you’ve continued to contribute here at TBP, Peter. You force me to dig around my memories for things I’d forgotten I knew.
We are having a blizzard, it seems. (I suspect Postimage has discovered my many hundreds of images on their server, so if there is no image, I’ll come replace it later. It is the snowfall out my window onto my pond. With a symbolic message on my Edwardian desk in the foreground.)
Please do look into my thoughts on Kissinger. I think he had a bit too much influence when he should have had none and far too little when he should have been in charge. Of course, that can be said for a whole lot of people, can’t it?
Undergrad Thesis: Meaning of History

I offer this segment of Kissinger’s introduction to see if you believe this might very well be the equivalent of Mein Kampf to someone hoping to find the true Machiavellian behind this catastrophic assault on our liberty. (See the short video at the very bottom for a succinct review on Macchiavellianism.) I believe, at the very least, it should signal a warning to people about how some appointed bureaucrats in our society(s) become de facto tyrants as they come to control not only the bureaucracy they were appointed to control, but other agencies as well.

*pronounced Gwee Air as I found out when I asked Professor Goo Er a question and was corrected. She demonstrated admirably the haughtiness of the French I’d heard so much about.
**Nath rhymes with math, as she corrected me when I asked if I could call her Natalie. Oh, the Veterans Administration not only put me through to a college degree… they approved me for the Masters program. I could take any class I wanted to.
Watching my husband stack wood…
My rod and my “staff” keep me in comfort here.
Wow, wonderful stuff Ghost, thank you so much my dear, for going to so much trouble – and fabulous pictures – the snow is pretty from a distance but causes mayhem here in UK with our tiny roads (none in sight yet). You have given me some valuable work here and I will need time to track it all down and of course respond in a while. I really do enjoy our conversations, I learn so many new things – it is a joy to be welcome here on TBP – so many good friends abound.
The time differences on your West and East coasts keep me up in the early hours but it’s not a chore, I only wish the days were longer. It’s 22.25 and I have go watch BBC ‘Newsnight’ for the latest analysis of the days ructions! I will get to part 2 below later. 🙂
Thanks… no hurry, but I hoped you would take the commentary in the spirit it was offered.
I think you might be quite surprised at the history of meaning.
Yes – I did indeed enter into the spirit of your post – I am always eager to learn new things – I am insatiably curious which sometimes has got me into some pickles! I am sure I can learn a lot from your knowledge.
BTW – Jim showed me how to post pictures. It worked once when I used .jpeg but not since; but when I try with an HTML link it doesn’t work either? I would value your advice please 🙂
https://www.vanderbilt.edu/olli/class-materials/Osher.Kissinger1960s.pdf
I don’t know if this presentation on Kissinger will actually show up here, but I am going to give you a tutorial with it on posting images.
I appreciate your patience and willingness to follow my line of thought here so will reward that with a new, improved picture posting tutorial.
I want to post an image of slide 22, so am choosing that slide to upload to Postimage.
I chose this slide for a reason. Look at the 6th of Kissinger’s “realpolitik” principles.
If he isn’t Machiavellian, who is?
Anyway… I’ll finish the tutorial and send it to your email address, Peter.
Brilliant Ghost, thank you. And can u help with posting pictures?
Ghost – I will get down to it but events have overtaken me temporarily: wife has to go for tests at Bath hospital tomorrow (a schlep trip), dentist Wednesday, wife to docs Thurs, Opticians Friday but next weekend is free! Also, I have to confess that we have had the snooker Players Championship all this week – ummmm, priorities, as my partner in our accountancy practice used to say!
In the meantime – you may have seen this – but the link to Kissinger is interesting:

PS – did you send me an email? If so I can’t find it.
Maggie- (My hand on the Bible) The Front entrance at your cabin is exactly the same as mine, same color stain , same front door, same color door. I thought for a second you were at my doomstead house. 🙂
Ships in the night, Bea Attitude.
Not sure if your “staff” is from a tree or one of those bovine thingies. Clarification requested.
My staff has sometimes got me into trouble! 🙂

Thanks for that bobdog – says it all – I needn’t have written so many words today!
That was so well put I just had to bring it down here to share thoughts on later. I’m continuing through the second read of your post now, so will be adding more comments later, unless you ask me not to.
Edit: I just had to bring this below here, as well, because I think you are right and wrong at the same time. While Trump might have not been one of “them” when he ran for and won the Presidency against the Clinton machine (which knows quite a bit about the Council for Foreign Relations, which Kissinger basically created, you know), he very much has a pedigree that tracks back to close relationships WITH them. I think the point you missed is that the “technocracy” did not know just how powerful they were until Donald Trump grasped how powerful they were and used the technocrats power to reach over the Celebrity Spokespersons masquerading as Journalists. If Twitter had realized he might win, they would have stopped him from opening an account. Ditto for the others.
Personal experience:
[[[Facebook censored my tiny little community page when I was posting some very popular old photos my father had taken. I had a few thousand very conservative viewers watching me post a few old pictures of community gatherings, along with a few commentaries about what I believed to be the difference between a community and a village. Facebook would not allow me to post those essays, telling me the content was not appropriate for whatever reason. That was in the late spring of 2020. I could go look, but I don’t go on Facebook (haven’t deleted the account yet… it still draws a crowd and was build to honor my father, so as long as people still enjoy the photos, I’ll leave them there. Some beautiful old photos indeed… [see mo’ bootheel friends will find the page on fb] Occasionally, I share one of JC’s livestreams to boost his viewership. He’s up to a couple thousand, so he better watch out, as well.
This is one of his most informative streams yet and at this point he is explaining why we at at a point of CRISIS in the information flow regarding the pandemic. Having attended JC’s class weekly from the onset of this pandemic, even communicating with him whilst he was losing connection to his family (all vaccinated and think he’s crazy for losing his research position over a vaccination!) as well to former colleagues, because Nick and I both know what it takes to speak truth to power. We also know how to survive the aftermath because truth rarely gets to share the spoils of victory when it’s a matter of principle at stake.

It is cued up to the point where JC shouts “This is a CRISIS!” He rarely gets so angry, but it’s a frightening conclusion he and his scientist cohorts have arrived at: the transfection contains segments of HIV that do not seem to cause any major side effects, but the segments of HIV interact with different types of tissue differently. Basically, it appears the demonic pharmaceutical industry has found a way to give humans autoimmune deficiency with a dose of mRNA transfection. This is the largest experiment on humanity ever conducted and people are lining up to get it because it won’t work unless you get more of it seems to have become a real thing, as the farmer in the dell said… Is that a thing?

Peter, I do apologize for writing you a couple chapters here to read, but would love to see your reaction to my thoughts on Kissinger.
I’ll get to it all at the weekend when current crazy events go on hold until next week, but then it’s the Players snooker championship which always impacts my work – priorities and signs of a misspent youth – which is so true in my case!
It isn’t an assignment, Peter, but I do hope you take the time to look and comment.
Can’t wait to get down to it – all very good stuff.
Hang on folks, I feel a blow coming on.
Like a huge storm on the horizon,
It feels good to be alive.
The enemy is real and powerful.
Pray to God, we do the right things.
I’ll second that prayer.
I hate to say it, but anyone who has believed anything any government has said in the past 40 years is a damn fool.
Unfortunately, that describes the majority of the population of the western world. The world could not have gotten to the totally screwed up state it is in without the majority of the population willingly believing the lies and propaganda, because it was easier than actually doing their duty as citizens. People get the government they deserve because freedom is not free. It comes at the cost of standing up to government at a considerable amount of discomfort, and possibly danger. Freedom is for the brave and unfortunately, most people are not only idiots, they are also cowards. We have reaped exactly what we sowed.
Bravo and well said Jdog, thank you for hitting the nail on the head 🙂
