The Financial Jigsaw Part 2, Chapter 1 – Human Augmentation – Do as the Romans Do – WW3 by Any Other Name – Self-reliance in SA – Own Nothing and be Happy – [09-23-23]

The Financial Jigsaw Part 2, Chapter 1 – “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”

[Sun Tzu: The Art of War]

The MoD say, “Human augmentation technologies provide a broad sense of opportunities for today and in the future. These are mature technologies that could be integrated today with manageable policy considerations, such as personalised nutrition, wearables and exoskeletons.” What in God’s name are they talking about?

Are readers of this HMG document supposed to know what ‘personal nutrition’, ‘wearables’, and ‘exoskeletons’ actually are?  Of course not; these are weasel words designed to obfuscate the real purpose of the Globalist Cabal.  BOOM this week has already exposed the nefarious machinations of the UN and WEF et al. Bear in mind the MoD wrote this in the middle of the great Covid scamdemic; does it ring of something equally diabolical?  However it gets worse, they go on to say:

“There are other technologies in the future with promises of bigger potential such as genetic engineering and brain computer interfaces. The ethical, moral and legal implications of human augmentation are complex and hard to foresee and regular engagement with these issues must be thoroughly considered.”

They say, “hard to foresee”? Only if you are deeply psychotic, mind-blind, and an insentient demon disguised as a human being. The document ends with the following statement, “Human augmentation could signal the coming of a new era of strategic advantage with possible implications across the force development spectrum.”

It is highly instructive that in the ‘related content’ section at the end of the MoD document are the following links:

  • Financing the 2030 Agenda through Covid-19 and beyond
  • Agenda 2030: delivering the global goals
  • The Fourth Industrial Revolution
  • Invest in a Better World – Results of UK Survey on Financing SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals).

This is an in-your-face heads-up for anyone still failing to understand ‘the programme’ being driven forward by the darkly possessed globalist cabal. A programme designed to exterminate warm hearted, living, and breathing human beings like you and me and replace us with a mix of mind controlled/hypnotised slaves and digitally programmed robotic devices that ape elementary human behaviour patterns.

The authors of this report should already be in the dock for advancing the implementation of such egregious crimes against humanity. This is ice cold techno-military gamesmanship portrayed as a shared and even ‘ethical’ scientific overview of the latest developments in the high-tech, sub-human battlespace.  By their own admission it’s all part of UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and the WEF Great Reset.

We must never underestimate the lengths to which this evil cabal will go to achieve its ambitions.  They will stop at nothing therefore they must be stopped by us – the awake.   If we want the light of day to shine on future generations we must resolutely commit to putting our best energies into making sure we win this war; radiating our light to vanquish their darkness.

THERE WAS ANOTHER EMPIRE WHICH FAILED on a similar premise – thinking they were all-powerful Gods.

In his book ‘The City In History’ (1961), Lewis Mumford explains how Rome went from “Megalopolis to Necropolis”.  This great city set up its own demise in two ways: ‘Panem et circenses’ – “bread and circuses”. Mumford: “Success underwrote a sickening parasitic failure.”

As Ancient Rome became prosperous it engendered an unsustainable welfare state. Mumford writes that, “indiscriminate public largesse” became common.  A large portion of the population, “took on the parasitic role for a whole lifetime.”

More than 200,000 citizens of Rome regularly received handouts of bread from public storehouses.  Lewis Mumford wrote that, “the desire to lead an industrious productive life had been severely weakened” – so what did people spend their time on?  Distractions, which meant circuses.

The Roman people, not working for their livelihood but living off of the prosperity of their city, became numb.  Mumford: “To recover the bare sensation of being alive, the Roman populace, high and low, governors & governed, flocked to the great arenas for games & distractions.”

The entertainment in Rome included, “chariot races, spectacular naval battles set in an artificial lake, theatrical pantomimes in which lewder sexual acts were performed.”  Out of 365 days, more than 200 were public holidays and 93 were, “devoted to games at the public expense”.

Consuming entertainment became the primary priority of Roman citizens in Rome’s decadent phase.  Mumford: “Not to be present at the show was to be deprived of life, liberty, and happiness”.  Concrete concerns of life became “subordinate, accessory, and almost meaningless”.

Ancient Rome could put half of its total population, “in its circuses and theatres at the same time!” A new public holiday was declared to celebrate every military victory but the number of holidays kept rising even when Rome’s military prowess began to fail.

Mumford writes that no empire had such, “abundance of idle time to fill with idiotic occupations”.  [Social media fulfils this role today.] Even Roman emperors, who privately despised the games, had to pretend they enjoyed them for, “fear of hostile public response”.

Is this the Bottom-line?  The very power and prosperity of Ancient Rome set the stage for its collapse. As welfare states expand around the world today, and entertainment options get ever more immersive, we are forced to ask two questions: Is the ‘Post-Industrial Civilisation’ our ‘Rome Part II’? Are we doing what the Romans did?

Gibbon: “The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the causes of destruction multiplied with conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the fabric yielded.”

DESPATCHES FROM THE FRONTLINE

A Ukrainian conscription officer, Vitaly Berezhny, revealed huge casualty rates. Only 10-20% of those drafted in Poltava Region last fall are still fighting against Russia; up to nine out of ten Ukrainian army draftees who joined in the last year have either been killed or wounded in action, a senior conscription officer in the country’s Poltava Region said on Friday, according to local media.

Speaking at a meeting of Poltava City Council, Lt. Colonel Vitaly Berezhny, who serves as acting head of the of the local recruitment and social support centre, admitted that local authorities are struggling with their conscription campaign, having fulfilled only 13% of their conscription quota, placing them last in the region.

Berezhny was quoted by local media outlet ‘Poltavshina’, saying the military urgently needs reinforcements, “out of 100 people, who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remain, and the rest are dead, wounded or disabled.”  Sources

SOUTH AFRICA MONITOR – One key component of ‘Protect & Survive’ is self-reliance and Africa leads the way.  The southern hemisphere contains only 9% of the global population and is one of the safest locations if/when the ‘Kings of the North’ escalate their aggressive warmongering.  This is a happy story, as are many stories from South Africa; just one of many sanctuaries, offering peace and security far away from the many conflicts in the north.

I observe that the Brits mainly rely on the government to fix things. It’s the result of a deeply engrained welfare state created as a sop to the people from centuries of the ruling class usurping the workers production, especially since the emergence of the industrial revolution 200 years ago.  It was in South Africa 20 years ago that former president, Thabo Mbeki urged South Africans to “get up and do things for themselves”.

At the 90th anniversary of the ANC in Durban in 2002, Mbeki launched a campaign urging citizens to engage in a spirit of ‘volunteerism’ and, “focus on the mobilisation of our people actually to engage in the process of continuing to be their own liberators, of occupying the front line in the popular struggle for the reconstruction and development of our country.”  For Mbeki, this appeal was part of his vision of the African Renaissance in action, so it was that 2002 was declared, “the year of the volunteer” – [Vukuzenzele!] –  see, Maverick article“The isiXhosa word, ‘Vukuzenzele’ means, ‘get up and do it yourself’. And it’s happening across the land.”

WEST AFRICA – Potential for the 21st century

South of the West African Sahel, there were small French and British colonies (Senegal, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Lagos, and Gabon) together with long-established Portuguese colonial territory south in Angola. Portugal also had, in south eastern Africa, its big colony of Mozambique in the Zambezi Valley.  The West African Sahel:

The country became a fully sovereign nation state within the British Empire in 1934 following enactment of the ‘Status of the Union Act’. The monarchy came to an end on May 31, 1961, being replaced by a republic as the consequence of a 1960 referendum, which legitimised the country becoming the ‘Republic of South Africa’ (RSA).

It is a fact that South Africa is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Many expats, who have travelled all over the world, return to South Africa. There are many fun facts about South Africa that even people who have lived there may not know.  Sources

Here’s why South Africans love immigrants.  There is an old joke of a diary a South African wrote, who had emigrated to Canada from SA, sending emails back home about the beauty of the snow-covered mountains. Then another about the kids having fun making snowmen.  Later complaining how difficult it was to clear the pavement. Then finally, confessing that more of that “white shit” had irritatingly fallen overnight, a very funny read.

For environment and climate, SA ranks pretty well, as you would expect. Leisure options are given a high ranking but not so much for safety and security.   High quality health services are mainly privately funded although there is a rudimentary public service. Finding friends is pretty easy in this welcoming culture where the sun shines for nine months and everyone is out and about.  As one of my British friends remarked about SA, “I love it here, everybody tries so hard.” Everybody, that is, except the bureaucrats but that’s standard anywhere in the world.

Research by Ricardo Hausmann, professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and founding director the ‘Harvard Growth Lab’, advised South Africa’s government long ago.  Hausmann was trying to understand why some countries grow and others don’t; his explanation relates to the complexity of society.

Hausmann found that a country progresses through its ‘distributed knowledge networks’ with people discovering new and better ways of doing things, incrementally increasing their knowledge, and thereby increasing the knowledge of the society as a whole. He tested the hypothesis using trade data. Hausmann and his researchers took all the exports of all countries, compiled lists of the number of exports, and also measured the rarity of a particular product.

The result was an international atlas of complexity. They then correlated that with GDP growth data to come up with a predictive formula. Hausmann found that a snapshot taken in 2008 indicated two outliers: India and Greece.  India had very low-income levels for its level of complexity but Greece had extremely high-income levels for their degree of economic complexity.

Since then, India has become the fastest-growing large country in the world but Greece failed. From 1970 only 20% of countries have narrowed their income gap measured against America. Those countries had increased their complexity very significantly but 80% failed.  The crucial question is how does a country become more complex?  If you are good at a certain thing, at a certain point in time, surely you would just continue doing the same things?

Hausmann says that countries tend to move from what they’re good at to, “the adjacent possible”.  You don’t know how to do the things you don’t do so you have a kind of chicken-and-egg problem. One way to fix that, says Hausmann, is by encouraging the immigration of skilled foreigners, particularly those with strategic education.

One example he uses, and there are many, is how the Bangladeshi textile trade started. A company called Desh sent 126 of its workers to Korea to get trained; 56 of those trainees eventually started their own companies. Now, 80% of Bangladesh’s trade is in textiles. Listen to the podcast here; it’s fascinating.  Emigration and immigration of skilled people was an odd rarity but now there is intense international competition and South Africa is taking full advantage with easier visa regulations.

Are readers of this HMG document supposed to know what ‘personal nutrition’, ‘wearables’, and ‘exoskeletons’ actually are?

Well . . .yeah. I would expect any slightly geeky 12 year old to know what they are, and find them no more weasel words than “motor vehicle,” “armor” or “radio.”

Police Detective Tracy, Captain Picard and Warrant Officer Ripley want to know what rock you’ve been living under. You can buy Internet connected wearables at Walmart, for goodness sake.

Toddle on down to Harrod’s or Fenwick. The aliens have returned and dropped off a load of wearables there, and there’s always Amazon UK.

You can get a basic, passive exoskeleton from 20 Knots Plus, Ltd in Chichester.

And if you ever find a Sunbeam Super Sports Twin Cam hidden in a garden shed somewhere, return the favor by letting me know first.

P.S. The computer on my desk has “Made in the UK” printed on the circuit board. Who woulda thunk that the little Acorn would grow to be the mighty oak that took over the world?

Raspberry Pi, the most popular single board computer in the world. Designed in Cambridge, manufactured in Pencoed, Wales (although the factory is a Sony facility hired out and the CPU wafer is probably fabbed in Germany).

And it’s an endoskeleton.

What I found intereting was this statement:
‘Petraeus also highlighted the scale of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, saying: “I haven’t seen anything like it since World War II,” ‘
Petraeus (what a name) was born after WW2, missed Vietnam, missed everything up to Desert Storm due to being in colleges all over the place. What does he know about war? Him and Pete Buttplug have about the same war time experience.
I used to take this old guy to church once in awhile that lived near me that flew a P-47 in North Africa. He had a little photo of his plane and himself on the wall of his house, he was like a junior in College. They delivered the aircraft on a freighter and was catapulted off and flew them to the base they used. He had a limp and and told me that the squadron he was in went to bomb some German cargo ships and he went below the 500ft limit to drop his little bomb and when he pulled up there were two Messerschmits that proceeded to attack him. Everybody else had took off. He said all he did was try to out run them and they just shot him all to hell and that was where he got the leg injury. Anyway after a bit they ran out of ammo he guessed and one of them came up beside him and waved at him so he continued trying to get to the base. While flying low over the desert the British started shooting at him and wounded him again. He crashed landed at the airfield and he said the plane was so messed up they just bulldozed it off the runway. He became a Christian during his stay at the hospital. Now that is war.

Guy a few doors down from me used to run PT boats in the Pacific. Then one day there were a couple of trucks in front of his house and it was being completely cleaned out.

The youngest living vets are in their mid to late 90s now (Mel Brooks, for instance, who was a mine defuser with the 1104 Combat Engineers). They were thick on the ground when I was a kid, but it won’t be long before fighting the war is gone from living memory.

Just average old men that lived crazy lives at around the twenty year old mark.
My Wife’s Dad who had passed away before we got married was just a country redneck that got drafted and went with Patton all the way from North Africa to the very end driving trucks. He went missing in action for like six months and was found later about half burnt-up in a hospital in Italy after that invasion, then right back to driving a truck till way after the war had ended, still a Private. My wife always said he was liable at the slightest noise that it would set him off. I tell her it is no telling what he saw in the death and destruction line, the trucks going to the front delivering ammo and what-not always took the dead and wounded back down with people shooting at you all the time.
My Dad was a B-29 Navigator, his Brother flew B-17s and was in the Berlin Airlift.

There are many combat vets who comment here…but no matter their personal experiences…no matter what war or how traumatic their experiences were…or those from the past…it is important to keep the main thing the MAIN THING!

WAR IS A RACKET…and that RACKET is as old as time:

In my life time…now that I know what I know after 30 years of research and finding the truth (spiritually & historically) none of the secular wars.

If I had a time machine I would go back and tell my 18 year old self not to enlist no matter what. Once I told him why…he would would listen to himself.

But I am fighting in the ongoing spiritual war…and will fight to the death once it goes kinetic and secular for me.

WW3 is well under way.

I will not submit to TLPTB (L=Luciferian) spiritually or in any form of secular submission.

The first death is dew on the grass…and I have been in the ‘sonshine’ a long time.
