- 11/29/22 [Economic commentator George Gammon (who’s discussed some important news on CBDCs recently, which the Fed just began piloting with commercial banks) made a good point today: “When have the people who have pushed censorship [invariably on the basis of ‘dangerous misinformation’] been the good guys? The answer is never.” (to which can be added) When have the people who have gone for our guns/arms been the good guys? Never. The people who have supported these things have always been the despised, spit-on tyrants – who have failed in 100% of instances – as well as the deluded, derided masses who lent them power.

Get real. ‘Earlier reports suggested the debris looked similar to Ukrainian air defense missiles . . . but Poland’s foreign ministry later confirmed a Russian-made missile was responsible;’ just another transparent attempt to throw us into war (Update 11/16/22: Poland ‘de-confirms’ Russian missile claim, says was a Ukrainian missile; NATO’s Stoltenberg: “let me be clear. . .Russia is ultimately to blame”)]

- 10/21/22 [Re: the child vax ‘guidance,’ the best way to respond to the CDC is simply to ignore them, on this and anything else. They can’t be reasoned with, they can’t be reformed, because they were always just an appendage of Big Pharma disguised as a government agency, at least their leadership; just as the Fed and sadly even the Treasury department are organs of the banking system]
- 9/11/22 [As always, never forget: no passenger planes, no hijackers, no OBL (died in early 2000s; raid and at-sea burial a hoax), no KSM (21 years later, still no trial; charges announced 15 years ago), no Taliban, no Al Qaeda, no Muslims, dozens of Israeli agents apprehended (joint US/Mossad op), MSM fully and consciously complicit; or you can believe in fairy tales, your choice]

- 5/27/22 [Salvador Ramos is a fictional character, like Adam Lanza and the other fake heroes and villains of post-truth America; the primary mental health crisis we have doesn’t involve shootings, it’s that most Americans can’t distinguish reality from theater or admit they’ve been fooled in the past; Musk backs gun control]

- 3/3/22 [Good and very prescient lecture from 2015 on how things got where they are in Ukraine]
- 2/28/22 [The Maidan protests were a CIA-engineered coup to install Zelensky; Eastern Ukraine was part of Russia for 1,109 of the 1,112 years prior to 1991 (except for three years of Mongol occupation from 1237-1240). All of Ukraine was part of Russia from 1721 to 1991. Ukraine has only existed as an independent nation for 31 years, the last 8 of which have been as a US puppet regime. There is no long history of a Ukrainian state; the only way for lasting peace in Ukraine is to split it in two countries, let the nationalists and pro-EU elements in the west have their own state or join Poland as they did before and the rest in the east form a second nation or join Russia as they did before. This would be far preferable to a prolonged nationwide war in Ukraine or a WWIII scenario]

- 1/2/22 [This is how ‘covid hospitalizations’ are dramatically inflated, possibly by upwards of 100x; and the establishment’s gravy train rides on]
- 1/2/22 [The CDC admits the flu is deadlier to children than covid – ZERO children without serious health conditions or severely morbid obesity have died of covid – but all children must be subjected to experimental gene modification 2-4 times per year to go to school, eat in restaurants, or go to the movies, which is already a reality in NYC and San Francisco. The covid psychosis must end now]
- 1/1/22 [FDA now needs 75 years to release Pfizer trial data, says will release by year 2096]
- 12/28/21 [FDA says it won’t release Pfizer vaccine trial data until the year 2076, FOIA law requires release within 20 business days. How can we believe The Science™ if they won’t even show us what it is?]
- 12/27/21 [A few minutes of number-crunching and extrapolation — from this Columbia University study and the CDC’s admission that only 5% of covid deaths are primarily a result of covid — make it clear the plandemic vaccine has *already* killed considerably more people than covid has, including Tiffany Dover who is still dead from the Pfizer vaccine one year later]
- 12/27/21 [Study in European Journal of Epidemiology of 68 countries and 2,947 US counties finds ‘no discernible relationship’ between vaccination and reduction in COVID cases; instead indicates that the vaccine promotes the spread of COVID, as stated here on 1/12/21. As stated repeatedly since March and April of 2020, it was obvious the vaccine would never work due to the nature of the vaccine and virus]
- 12/21/21 [Only 18% of the US population is now ‘fully vaccinated’; the CDC has been caught lying in its ‘at least one dose’ statistics]
- 12/21/21 [Follow-up on ‘Omicron;’ the [non]cure is far, far worse than the disease]
- 11/29/21 [‘Omicron’ and the covid fear formula/funnel: the weaker the virus, the stronger the measures]
- 11/24/21 [People think Travis McMichael is guilty and Arbery is innocent because they don’t understand what a citizen is; the bigotry of low expectations]
- 11/22/21 [YouTube hides dislikes to protect establishment propaganda]
- 11/17/21 [With righteous acquittal in the cards, MSM furiously backpedals on Kyle Rittenhouse hatemongering to preserve credibility]
- 11/17/21 [Putting covid case rates in perspective; a rate of 1,000 is not high, yet the media is freaking out and governments locking down over 20, 50, 100]
- 11/14/21 [Montage of dozens of healthy high school, college, and professional athletes literally dropping dead from cardiac events induced by the plandemic vaccine; lull in blog activity]
- 9/23/21 [Croatian president declares end to national vaccine campaign and bashes media’s covid hysteria; not a single story by the MSM covers it. Romania shut down government vaccine centers and sold off their supply of doses after 73% refused, also crickets from the media. Perhaps these formerly Communist nations know a naked control grab when they see it]
- 9/20/21 [The media is continuously calling for Biden to require vaccines for air travel; not that it’s stopped them from trying before (just like it didn’t stop the CDC from pretending to have domain over private rental contracts), but the federal government has no jurisdiction over the operation of airports or airlines or over the entry or exit of US citizens – only over the entry of immigrants and commercial goods; four federal judges have struck down the CDC’s illegal, overreaching dictates, yet they continue issuing them]
- 9/19/21 [Biden’s point made absolutely no sense, but this was never about truth or rationality; it’s about obedience, conformity, and faith in authority]
- 9/11/21 [So far, 68% of US land area (62% of contiguous US) has formally rejected the illegal Biden mandates]
- 9/10/21 [331 million Americans minus [a supposed] 177 million ‘fully vaccinated’ [with an ineffective, likely toxic, experimental compound] = 154 million non-vaccinated (46.5%), not 80 million as Biden claimed. Subtracting young children, that means 38.2% (not 25% as Biden claimed) of eligible Americans are not vaccinated, and roughly half of Americans under age 65 are not vaccinated, despite approval by the no-credibility FDA and illegal, unconstitutional bullying by the illegitimate Biden]
- 9/10/21 [Never forget: joint operation by US and Israeli intel (whether official or ‘rogue’ elements, as if the agencies aren’t already often lawless) + private ‘Illuminati’ network including media personnel, with some Mockingbird overlap of course. No passenger planes, no hijackers, no pancake collapse, no Muslims, no ‘jihadists,’ no Taliban, no OBL, no KSM (still hasn’t been tried 20 years later), no Al Qaeda, minimal to no Saudi involvement]
- 9/9/21 [‘Per day’ is another ‘over 10 years’ propaganda device; only ‘0.02 children per day’ (i.e. *eight* Americans under age 18 in the last year) have died of covid, and 100% of them had serious comorbidities; the ’80 million’ non-vaccinated are actually 153 million, and a majority of Americans under age 65 are not vaccinated]
- 9/9/21 [The ’emergency rule’ for companies with over 100 employees in fake-president Biden’s slurred State of Union speech is not law, not Constitutional, and thus not enforceable]
- 9/7/21 [I believe I had covid recently and kicked it in under 48 hours without pharmaceuticals, here’s what I did]
- 9/6/21 [Rolling Stone and other ‘news’ / propaganda outlets publish report on ivermectin overdoses that’s proven completely fake; MSM keeps running the story anyway]
- 9/3/21 [The government is treating Afghan refugees with ivermectin – I thought it was just a ‘horse dewormer’?]
- 8/27/21 [Update on the plandemic vaccine and magnetism]
- 8/26/21 [8+ months later and Tiffany Dover is still dead from the plandemic vaccine]
- 8/26/21 [‘Stop the spread:’ Oxford University study reveals that ‘fully vaccinated’ people carry 251x more viral load in nasal cavity than non-vaccinated do; step right up for your lifetime of ‘boosters’…]
- 8/22/21 [Anonymous source: ‘Taliban committing door-to-door rape of dead bodies’ Incubator babies, anyone?]
- 8/21/21 [The hilarious moment when MSNBC uses Notorious B.I.G. lyrics to push the plandemic vaccine]
- 8/21/21 [Some thoughts on the Kabul evacuation]
- 8/20/21 [No more case-counting, tests, or quarantines: there are an average of 2.7 MILLION CASES A DAY for the flu (1 billion per year), which has a death rate of 0.1%, at least 5x higher than covid’s 0.02% [or lower]. Do we regularly test for the flu? Covid is a cold virus – how many common-cold ‘cases’ are there per day? 10-20 million?]
- 8/19/21 [Surprise, surprise: the one time CNN ‘fact checks’ Biden and puts up a bad photo of him in the last 36 months, and it’s to support continued intervention in the Middle East; this is what ‘shadow government’ refers to]
- 8/19/21 [The number of Italian centenarians grew 24% between 2019 and 2021, from 14,456 to 17,935, and the isolation, stress, and restriction of medical care from the lockdowns surely killed more of them than covid did. The vaccine played no role (the statistics are from January 2021) and has probably killed even more of them prematurely. The government and media are several times more lethal to Italian centenarians than covid was]
- 8/17/21 [Is the predictable hysteria over the Afghanistan pullout A) an MIC temper tantrum now that the $7 trillion post-9/11 gravy-train is slowing to a halt B) a possible pretext for a massive false-flag attack meant to fire said train back up, and gloss over the faltering covid psy-op C) something we should have done 20 years ago and should do now, since war there was never winnable (the Taliban took back control 10 years ago) and the Taliban and bin Laden had 0.00% involvement in the 9/11 attacks, which were carried out by ‘rogue elements’ (maybe a generous characterization) of US and Israeli intelligence, as well as private ‘Illuminati’ elements, a fact that has been crystal clear to millions of us for at least 17-18 years? All of the above]
- 8/16/21 [Revisiting the ‘three vaccine endgames’]
- 8/12/21 [Why the vaccine campaign has likely already failed; now 8 months of 24/7 propaganda after the first injections on 12/14/2020, and only 46% of Americans under age 65 have been vaccinated – most of the others have no plans to get it even after imminent approval by the corrupt FDA; the vaccinated not the non-vaccinated are the likeliest source of the ‘variants’; thoughts on the prospect of failed world-scale conspiracies, where most are either Biblical doomers or conspiracy denialists]
- 7/25/21 [They’re trying (and so far failing) to reinstitute masks because without the visual aid of a population of unpaid, masked crisis actors, people don’t seem to notice the 0.02%-death-rate cold virus among us, and are slipping away from their hoped-for ‘new normal’]
- 7/25/21 [Imminent approval by the zero-credibility FDA will have no bearing on my decision to refuse the plandemic vaccine, and it shouldn’t on yours either; the mRNA vaccines will be experimental for at least 15-20 years; the hyped Delta variant is likely just a second, similar bioweapon intentionally released onto the population]
- 6/22/21 [World population GREW during ‘the pandemic’]
- 6/21/21 [Jon Stewart shreds sold-out propagandist Stephen Colbert on manmade virus theory, elaborated here on 1/31/2020 “Bioweapons are why we need decentralization” and 4/13/2020 post “Gates-backed [Daszak-led] EcoHealth Alliance and CIA-front USAID funded the creation of modified bat coronaviruses with human infection potential in 2015”] [I’m going to partially retract this one, see post]
- 6/20/21 [There is zero evidence Ahmaud Arbery was murdered or that any crime was committed; the disgraceful 48 Hours special on the incident]
- 6/20/21 [Thoughts on Juneteenth]
- 5/30/21 [The labor shortage is real and dire; quickly debunking the ‘wages need to raise’ / ‘surplus of crappy jobs’ talking point]
- 5/13/21 [The more than half of American adults who have not received the experimental vaccines should make any health decisions based on our own beliefs and risk tolerance as we are entitled to do as free people, and immediately stop wearing masks indoors and out if we see fit. Any worried people can wear masks and get vaccines. Businesses don’t like confrontations (and have no right to know your vaccination record) or political statements and aren’t going to ask anyone if he or she’s been vaccinated. Many cashiers will wear masks for a while for C.Y.A. reasons and in some cases out of personal worry, and not say a word about it to the customers. Undoubtedly, there are ulterior motives to the recent shift and I don’t trust it one iota, but the above is the best reaction.]
- 5/13/21 [What the CDC’s new mask ‘guidance’ means for me as an unvaccinated person]
- 4/26/21 [‘Trust the science:’ CDC quietly admits there is no chance of infection from touching surfaces: ‘generally it’s less than 1 in 10,000’ (when you touch a CONTAMINATED surface) **’there’s really no evidence that anyone has ever gotten covid-19 by touching a contaminated surface.’** The ‘common-sense’ hand-washing, grocery and shopping cart wipe-downs, 3-day waiting periods, fist and elbow bumps, cash cooties, hand sanitizer shortages, ‘contactless’ and ‘touchless’ transactions, excessive cleaning at businesses and schools — all pointless theater (again, we are unpaid crisis actors); and I won’t hold my breath for people to admit their error. The plandemic is about faith in authority, obedience, and control; not truth, inquiry, and evidence]
- 4/26/21 [An example of blatantly false pro-vaccine propaganda in the Daily Mail and Drudge Report; there are currently no countries in the world where an experimental covid vaccine is or will be required to enter, and only one country even accepts (but does not require) a vaccine in lieu of a negative test, in every other country the experimental injections would do you no good for travel purposes]

- 4/8/21 [The DoD’s statistics prove covid is little more than a ‘Great American Psy-Opera,’ a medical 9/11, a theatrical play in which we’ve all been forced to take part, as stated here a day before the restrictions set in; we’re all (unpaid) crisis actors now, and it’s time to go on strike]
- 4/8/21 [Biden’s ‘ghost gun’ law is about the establishment’s fear of the people, not criminals and gun violence; exceedingly few criminals use so-called ghost guns, they are a complete non-issue in gun crime]
- 4/3/21 [How the ‘doses’ propaganda has spun out of control; all the low-hanging fruit has already been picked, and only 24% of US adults and 15% of the general US population have been ‘fully vaccinated’ (another propaganda term, since a few months or a year from now you’ll inevitably be told you need covid 2.0, 3.0, 10.0 ‘updates’) in spite of the constant touting of the ‘100 million’ number; why the evil and contrived ‘vaccine passport’ scheme will fail; be warned: unless you resist, they’re coming for ever more plandemic vaccines for you, and they’re coming straight for your kids]
- 4/3/21 [The fake shootings – i.e. covert, compartmentalized training exercises cast as reality to the public, in the model of the canceled Operation Closed Campus – were rampant under Obama, dropped dramatically under Trump, and are back full-steam under Biden]
- 1/28/21 [Kudos to Marjorie Taylor Greene for telling the truth that Sandy Hook was 100.00% fake; (nevermind, she took it all back; color me non-shocked)]
- 1/26/21 [With the help of Joe Rogan and other supposed ‘alternative’ voices, the Mars colonization, UFO, and alien-contact themes have been accelerating; this (i.e. a fake ET event), a staged nuke / dirty bomb, and perhaps weather manipulation (resulting in save-the-planet totalitarianism) are the only fallback plans – the establishment’s very limited, 50-year-old hand of cards to ‘unite’ humanity in ‘lockstep’ towards a world government, if covid and future psy-ops like it should fail. All supposed ET phenomena can be explained in other ways]
- 1/25/21 [I can at least comprehend how people got brainwashed about covid, with the deluge of propaganda about weird symptoms, bioweapon origins, etc. (even if it was a bioweapon, nothing can be done and the vaccine will be worse). But you would have to be shockingly, almost unimaginably dumb – or in most cases, just deluded, hook line and sinker – to believe that, smack dab in the middle of Biden’s ‘dark winter’ (in which just 1 in 40,000 people *supposedly* died from covid in December), in the heart of flu/cold season, covid was magically ‘plateauing’ by day 2 of the Biden administration and is now supposedly declining, as California and other states lift lockdowns. The medical police-state, population reduction, and vaccine-towards-microchip/tagging are the over-arching agenda; but I may have underplayed just how much the covid hoax had to do with unseating Trump]
- 1/24/21 [Hank Aaron died 16 days after receiving the plandemic vaccine, which he took in an attempt to assure rightfully skeptical black Americans that it was safe. He was 86, but he had no major health issues aside from joint problems, and no cause of death has been released. They lied and continue to lie about Tiffany Dover’s death from the vaccine, threatened/paid her co-workers into silence, and made a fake video of her using a masked body-double to calm the public. And these are just the highest-profile cases. Take from them what you will; for me they say to stay far away.]

- 1/22/21 [The propagandism of zero-credibility CNN – watched mostly by captive audiences in hospitals, nursing homes, airports, and gyms – has gotten even more transparent, as this thorough lampooning by the Jimmy Dore Show illustrates. We need a new and much more diverse broadcast-news landscape]
- 1/20/21 [In coverage of the fraudulent inauguration, MSM hack Lester Holt asked plagiarist-journalist Mike Barnicle ‘The president spoke of unity as we thought he would . . . what are the deeds that will have to follow to fully deliver this message?’ Barnicle’s subtle-as-brick response was ‘get hundreds of millions of Americans vaccinated as soon as possible to get the ball rolling and get the job done,’ which was the chief aim of the plandemic. ‘Unity’ = silence and compliance, ‘our democracy’ = we-the-powerful running things, ‘perfect union’ = well-oiled totalitarian machine, ‘God’ = sub-supreme impostor]
- 1/20/21 [At phony inauguration after election theft / shadow-gov coup, Biden says ‘democracy won,’ ‘we need to listen to one another;’ 30,000 soldiers (who were effectively disarmed and made to remove their magazines due to distrust by Biden and Congress) blocking the entrances, crowd excluded, chat disabled, comments turned off, muzzles universally on. Such openness; the oft used term ‘our democracy’ has nothing to do with those of us outside the power structure, it is code for the establishment’s status quo, for shadow-government rule (and ‘perfect union’ code for total control): in their eyes, they are ‘the people’ who count and who run things, we are mere serfs or cattle)]
- 1/14/21 [Comments on (Rothschild-owned) Economist article: ‘Japan has ultra low covid deaths without a lockdown of any kind because they are disciplined, hygienic, and wear masks.’ Yes, then I guess Chad, Burundi, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia (who has had **zero** deaths – pop. 16 million, no broad mask usage – which CIA-front Voice of America News chalks up to ‘culture and luck’), and Bangladesh must also be paragons of order, obedience, and public hygiene (since they have far fewer deaths than Japan)]
- 1/14/21 [As it often does, the shadow government is pre-emptively accusing others of what it itself is doing. The Biden election theft is a shadow-government [semi-non-violent] coup against the [twice] elected Trump administration, and they’re frothing at the mouth over an ‘insurrection’ to protest it]
- 1/13/21 [Maxine Waters did far worse than Trump, and got only praise for it; the government will lose even more credibility by convicting Trump, and instead of shut down his support, it will turn him into a persecuted martyr figure and motivate the supporters of his congressional and presidential ‘successors.’ Around half of Americans believe the election was stolen, and thus supported the protests that occurred, at least as peaceful demonstrations; Trump has no responsibility for the personal choices of 75 million Americans]
- 1/13/21 [The election was blatantly stolen, and the judiciary cravenly turned their backs on 75 million voters and refused to even consider the evidence. Now the perps themselves are desperately trying to legitimize their crime and make each and every high-profile detractor ‘say uncle’ and ‘admit’ there was ‘no fraud whatsoever.’ If after this and the stunning (well not so much to me, but maybe others) lockstep of the Parler shutdown, you still can’t see that we live under a monolithic, *very* long tentacled power structure, then I guess ‘some men you just can’t reach’]
- 1/12/20 [I have come across multiple reports that young, healthy people, medical workers, who have received the plandemic vaccine are shedding and thus potentially spreading the virus, and being put into quarantine after getting the shot. That isn’t supposed to happen with a functional vaccine; that’s just called getting the disease and recovering, which makes the vaccine pointless or worse. Disturbing as it is, the potentiality of the vaccine not as any kind of cure, when it is far inferior to the immune system, but instead as a vector (whether intentional or not) to infect more people, must be considered]
- 1/11/21 [How ‘doses’ will be the next covid propaganda term to promote the experimental plandemic vaccine]
- 1/10/21 [36-month Russiagate hoax, a fake [effectively, relative to response] worldwide pandemic (granted, that was in the cards anyway), failed impeachment, failed investigations, a phony race conflict ginned up by BLM Inc. (race relations have never been better), a stolen election . . . now one cop dies at an overwhelmingly peaceful protest of 100s of thousands, we have no idea who killed him (wouldn’t be shocked at all if shadow-gov operatives killed him there or at the hospital just to smear Trump and create at least one good reason to be outraged), the social networks are going nuts, and Democrats say Trump must resign 10 days ahead of schedule. It’s truly insane; on the fake, Orwellian crime of ‘inspriring’ violence/terrorism]
- 1/9/21 [After four weeks, it [still] strongly appears that Tiffany Dover is dead from the plandemic vaccine; numerous ‘fact-checks’ notwithstanding]
- 1/7/21 [Contrary to media reports, Trump did not concede to Biden or endorse the fraudulent election results; he simply said he will leave office at the end of his term, which he will be forced to do based on the disgraceful actions of Congress and the federal and state judiciaries]
- 1/6/21 [Unless the courts fulfill their duty to fairly examine the evidence and order audits where appropriate, Trump should not concede or in any way recognize the fraudulent, illegitimate vote counts, he should only leave under duress; propagandist shepherds Hannity and Levin corral and tranquilize the mainstream right]
- 1/2/21 [The average vaccine approval timeframe is around 10 years, and the experimental plandemic vaccines were released in a few months; not that I trust the FDA, but none of the the covid vaccines are even FDA-approved, only emergency-authorized. Whatever the continually lying establishment says, there will be no reason anytime this decade – or beyond, since the whole thing is so obviously an engineered, profoundly malevolent power-grab – to believe the plandemic vaccine is safe. No job or amount of money – let alone admission to a bad movie or ‘sportsball’ game – is worth more than your health; sick or disabled with a billion in the bank is worse than healthy with a zero balance; better to just start over, or go on welfare if necessary, than be a guinea pig]
- 1/1/21 [Truth-optional America/world: flu infections ‘drop by 98%,’ but nothing to see here]
- 12/25/20 [Yes, this year has been one of the crappiest and in many ways the worst ever, but let’s be more specific: it wasn’t a natural occurrence or our own doing, 2020 has been the year of highly destructive temper tantrums by a shadow government that has lost its edge]
- 12/25/20 [The shadow government is apparently returning to false flag terror, which it has almost forgotten to continue staging during the covid plandemic; the Nashville bombings almost certainly look to be an operation. As the US splits between the relatively free states (to whom many residents of imperial states are fleeing) of the Plains and Southeast and the [Illuminati] crown-loyal state governments of the West Coast and Northeast, to a point at which secession has entered into real consideration by mid-double-digit share of the population, the shadow government hopes to short-circuit the development by creating crises in the breakaway areas and implementing more control measures there; if covid measures fail, then security-theater measures will have to do. We can likely expect Dallas, Nashville, Kansas City, Miami, Charlotte, etc. to be the likeliest venues for the biggest upcoming false flags]
- 12/25/20 [Career-long disgrace Anthony Fauci’s greatly feared ‘hell month’ hasn’t at all panned out, as I and many others expected: roughly 1 in 40,000 people worldwide died allegedly from covid in December, among them many fraudulently mischaracterized cold and flu deaths; the real number is probably well under 1 in 100,000; since December 2019, around 1 in 5,000 people have died allegedly from covid, and the vast majority of those deaths are fraudulently reported as such (everyone I personally know who supposedly died of covid was in his or her 90s and on the edge of death; the real total figure is 1 in 10,000 or much lower. Meanwhile, around 65 million or about 1 in 100 people have died this year from all causes. Covid remains a relative non-entity; no masks are needed, no distancing is needed, no vaccine is needed; again, Sweden had it right; they took limited to no measures and lost [from covid, allegedly] around 7,000 out of 10.5 million, which is ‘acceptable’ for society, in as much as death itself in all its causes must be accepted]
- 12/15/20 [The plandemic vaccine – funded and promoted by eugenicists and population-reduction fanatics – could expose you to 8-12x more covid infections than the one (or zero) infection per year you could conceivably get otherwise: in the long-term, fertility loss (by non-stop attack on the testes), sterilization, and more is most likely in the agenda: if you give in to this transparent shadow-government operation, ‘you may be entitled to significant compensation’ a few years down the road (that is, if the pharma companies weren’t immune to lawsuits]
- 12/14/20 [Reject the poison plandemic vaccine: why it’s an easy decision]
- 12/5/20 [The immune system is 97-98% effective ‘against serious covid symptoms’ and over 99.8% effective against death, while promoters of the various vaccines boast an inferior 94% rate, and who knows if that’s even accurate. Why the hell would I inject myself with a disease, permanently alter my DNA, and risk grave side effects possibly even including sterilization, when my own immune system is already superior to the vaccine? Obviously, the goal of the plandemic from the beginning was to obedience-train humanity with the lockdowns and measures, and harm or control us with a vaccine; and for that to serve as a scapegoat for a long planned ‘economic reset.’ If you got played by the lie, it happens to the best of us; time to admit it and move forward.]
- 12/5/20 [Joe Biden is not and never will be the legitimate president-elect. Systemic fraud on an enormous, potentially multi-million-vote scale has already been proven or strongly indicated in several states from dozens of angles involving hundreds of witnesses who have risked perjury charges and more; it’s just a matter of whether the state legislatures and the courts will honor their oaths and carry out their duties, or be bullied by the shadow government into abdicating them. Merely claiming ‘there is no evidence’ over and over does not change anything. I don’t support Trump in an absolute sense, but it would be better to have him and retain a relatively legitimate democracy than to give that up for the sake of unseating him at any cost. Biden supporters and election fraud naysayers should be very careful what they wish for]
- 11/14/20 [It’s not just Pennsylvania: Georgia mail-in rejection rates are 32x lower than 2016 – essentially, there is no validation of ballots at all; any and every piece of paper thrown in the mail or dropped off at the back door at 4am has up to this point been included in the false tallies. This fraud-drenched election needs to be thoroughly audited, or voting no longer means anything in the US (some thoughts on the question of whether it has meant anything in recent times)]
- 11/13/20 [There are already dozens of angles and thousands of admissible exhibits that establish large-scale fraud, but the lion’s share of evidence of a stolen election would come from access and hand examination of the fraudulent ballots and counting software. Without this transparency there will be no legitimacy in the Biden / Harris usurper regime. The very methods used to enter ballots into the count inherently have zero credibility – no observation for millions of ballots, no signature checks, no postmarks, late postmarks, late arrivals – no standard whatsoever for validity, hence the 33x lower rejection rates vs. 2016. The machines are incredibly easy to manipulate, as was proven in Michigan. These appallingly flawed processes must be corroborated by methods of integrity, or no real election occurred, and no democracy is in effect]
- 11/10/20 [‘Glitches’ my ass: a manual recount must be conducted in every closely contested state tabulated by ‘election management’ software company Dominion Voting Systems – that includes Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. There is only one way to count and handle ballots – and that is by hand, on election day, with observers from all parties every step of the way]
- 11/8/20 [Biden attempts to steal the election in broad daylight with the help of the media, and he and his supporters call for unity and love. Trump wins honestly in 2016, and it’s ‘resistance’ and endless vitriol from the same Bidenites. Pretty laughable. Again, I’m not a fan of either in an absolute sense; just count the valid and non-fraudulent votes (which means Supreme Court ruling and hand recounts in multiple states), and let the people decide. It’s that or a banana republic with fake elections; in some ways worse than a banana republic, because at least there pretty much all the people know it’s a sham.]
- 11/8/20 [Proof of a stolen election for all but the braindead and willfully blind: Pennsylvania’s 2016 rejection rate for mail-in ballots was 1%. In 2020, it was 0.03%, 33x lower. This absolutely qualifies as evidence. If any other important statistic dropped 97%, tax collections for example, the massive discrepancy would provide more than enough probable cause for a full-scale investigation. For the brainwashed, the media or Snopes would have to tell you it was stolen and give it their green check mark, and only then you might believe it, without even checking the underlying evidence. Hopefully enough of our Supreme Court justices will be more skeptical and less partisan than that. The fraud goes way beyond Pennsylvania, which based upon this data point alone (setting aside any other manner of fraud, or errors or ‘glitches’ in the counting process), Biden clearly lost.]
- 11/7/20 [The recounts and lawsuits only need to eliminate 61,000 of 14.8 million ballots across 3 states to allow for a Trump win. That is 1 in 242 ballots, and includes ‘glitches,’ bad signatures and postmarks, double (or 10x, 20x) voters, deceased voters, non-resident voters, ballot errors, etc. The Supreme Court has already begun to reverse some of Pennsylvania’s outrageous, totally indefensible electoral rules and court rulings. We’ll see what happens, but this is far from over, the media’s incessant lies notwithstanding. I don’t recall the media having any problem with Gore’s 7-week-long challenge; in fact, they cheered it on]
- 11/7/20 [The steal is real: all counties in Georgia used ‘glitchy’ software that flipped 5,500 Trump votes to Biden in one small Michigan county]
- 11/7/20 [Given the countless red flags and outright proofs of fraud we’ve seen already, all of the following very reasonable and practicable steps – which should have been par for the course – will need to be taken to ensure electoral integrity. Otherwise, tens of millions of Americans will have deep or total doubt in the legitimacy of the next administration, whether it’s Trump or Biden]
- 11/6/20 [The steal is real: ‘glitching’ vote-counting software used in Antrim County Michigan – population 24,000 – flipped over 5,500 Trump votes to Biden, and the same software was used in 33 other, much more populous Michigan counties, and possibly other states, with no reports of pro-Trump glitches; the vulnerabilities of electronic voting and vote-counting to fraud have long been known]
- 11/6/20 [If we had a sane country with rule of law, we would’ve had universal in-person voting, and Biden would be in custody or out on bail (since between Bobulinski, the laptop, and Walker there is not only an arrest-ready but a conviction-ready corruption/money-laundering case, unlike the Trump-Russia ‘evidence’ which was a whole lot of nothing), effectively disqualified from running (and Trump would have faced a legitimate challenger whom Democrats actually wanted). Instead we have a media who worked in lockstep to bury the incriminating evidence, an easily stolen mail-in election, and a felon poised to declare victory and inhabit the world’s highest political office. And people like Olbermann, Maddow, and Colbert are frothing at the mouth that we’re crazy for resisting it]
- 11/6/20 [The media’s blue-in-face chorus: ‘no evidence whatsoever of voter or electoral fraud.’ Is it true? Not even close, as one should always expect. A list of just some of the examples]
- 11/5/20 [It took the non-swing states 3 hours to count 90-100% of their votes, as it does every election, but it has taken the swing states 3+ days to count the last 10%, almost all of which was in their possession the day of the election. In Georgia, it has taken 2 days to count 2%. Proof of fraud in several states already abounds. Demented, decrepit, doofy, and deeply corrupt Joe Biden – quite possibly the weakest candidate ever – did not get the most support and best turnout in American history. This election is a sham and needs to be scrutinized and overturned]
- 11/5/20 [Thoughts on how Constitutionalists, libertarians, and conservatives should respond to all this: on Trump’s lawsuits, and potential secession from or at least disregard of a delegitimized federal government; if the issue is not resolved by January, Trump must temporarily step aside for ‘President Pelosi’ until it is]

- 11/4/20 [With voter fraud already videotaped in Philadelphia, outrageous rulings by the state commissions and courts (late voting, no postmarks, no signatures, etc.), and indications of electoral theft in Wisconsin – e.g. a 150,000-ballot ‘dump’ not observed by Republican poll watchers at 4am last night at a ridiculous rate of 96% Biden, which flipped the state (as well as the numerous Milwaukee precincts with many more votes than registered voters) – Trump should sue for scrutiny of every ballot, every signature, and every voter record up to the US Supreme Court in any state where it’s at all close, not just Pennsylvania. That the election had to take place during an obviously engineered pandemic makes any and all tactics fair game]

- 11/1/20 [As noted in the longer post below, ‘excess deaths’ is 100% garbage as a covid statistic for at least two reasons: 1) it does not even consider that the lockdown measures themselves have caused any deaths, when they may have already killed and absolutely will eventually kill as many or more than covid has, and 2) it does not account for demographics, where countries with increasingly aged populations will have ‘excess’ deaths (compared to the past) every year for decades to come. The older a country becomes, and the West gets older every year, the more people who die every year. Even when they adjust for it, the age brackets are far too large and overweighted on the old end, e.g. ’15 to 64′ in one study, and ’75 to 84′ in another, where deaths shoot way up towards the 84 end. It’s a shame I even have to point these very obvious factors out. So much for the ‘experts.’]
- 11/1/20 [Yet again, a reminder that the covid-19 [micro-]pandemic ended in May; since then it’s just been another disease. If we apply the covid mentality to future contagions or other health threats, we will be locked down for life, as some of our rulers would gladly have it]

- 10/5/20 [Kudos to Trump for not being an ass and wearing a mask when he is nowhere near other people, e.g. on the White House balcony after his release today; predictably, the MSM criticized him.

- As for how the below post applies to the Pittsburgh incident, I can’t say. I had no time to view live coverage, and in the preceding months and years the entire sphere of official-narrative criticism (who would often point out glaring holes in narratives, unconvincing acting performances, etc.) has been slowly dismantled by the tech giants, namely Google/YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, as well as by Paypal and other funding services. The only channels left standing on YouTube appear to be fed-infested militia honeypot groups, with any independent voices having their videos blocked from upload and channels IP-banned. Sure, there are commentators like James Corbett who have independent websites, but he and other higher-profile outlets shy away from talk of full-on fakery, likely to preserve their mainstream viewership, which seriously deflects the pertinence of their content. But to return to the issue of whether or not Pittsburgh was engineered in some way, manipulation wouldn’t necessarily mean no one died. As we saw with 9/11 and dozens of incidents before it (as well as more recent incidents like the Sikh temple shooting, a false flag event where real killings appear to have been carried out by military contractors of some kind), the shadow government, who has murdered well over 100 million people directly and indirectly in the last century or so alone, has no qualms about real death. But again, it has recently become more difficult for often second-hand commentators like myself to form judgments since any non-establishment ‘front-line’ analysis has been purged from the major social platforms. In that vein, there was a Paypal-aided shutdown of Twitter-alternative Gab (characterized as neo-Nazi by some websites, which wasn’t my impression of it; most of the content I saw a year or two ago seemed to be Breitbart-ish in politics) less than a day after the event, based on the alleged shooter’s membership alone; yet his membership on the major networks prompted no such shutdown.
- If you just can’t come to terms with the reality that many of the media-featured ‘tragedies’ of late are death-free, faked events (and thus the human props in them are, in at least some cases, indeed actors), and wouldn’t spend any more than a minute even entertaining the notion, this video, perhaps the most damning single exhibit of evidence out there (among thousands of compelling exhibits between all the events), is for you (YouTube version here: /watch?v=kfsInwOGdxM). It allegedly shows ISIS member Brahim Abdeslam blowing himself up at a restaurant in the alleged Bataclan attacks in Paris, where 130 were said to die. The bomber vaporizes from the explosion’s force (the article reads, ‘there was so little left of Abdeslam’s body, that forensic officers had to rely on a tiny portion of finger print to identify him’) — yet glasses, ashtrays, and people – feet and in some cases only inches away – escape completely undamaged and unmoved (what is actually occurring I can’t say; a small firecracker inside a down pillow, overlaid by a CGI Abdeslam?). The odds this could happen are precisely zero: fakery proven, conspiracy theorists correct, naysayers and vigil attendees duped. Yet mass delusion, while on the sharp decline, persists. As Mark Twain said twice in his autobiography, ‘how easy it is to make people believe a lie, and hard it is to undo that work again,’ or for the unverified/paraphrased version, ‘it’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.’ Yes, I’ve railed on this general theme a hundred times, but we live in a country full of 6-month historical memories and 8-second attention spans.
- Of the couple dozen events I’ve called as fake or staged here on the same day or next day (thanks in large part to other researchers who illuminated the evidence early on), 100% of them have been amply proven to be such over the subsequent days and weeks; not one was a real, fully organic event. It could be that I was wrong on the package bomber; based on actual tactics used in false flaggery, these are the other possibilities: A) Sayoc doesn’t exist (a random name paired with a random, even photoshopped face), and the handful of stories from colleagues are the props that animate the paper name into reality B) Sayoc was simply framed as a longtime mentally ill person who would be believed to be the bomber (and may have already been marked as a potential patsy), and is unfit to stand trial or clear his name, or was made mentally ill by chemical or psychological means C) Sayoc wanted to carry out bombings and was encouraged and aided by intel elements, where he would otherwise have been too lazy, stupid, and/or incompetent to execute the plan D) Sayoc exists but was a sleeper agent ready to play a role in NDAA-legalized propaganda, and will be released from jail under a different identity shortly after trial, if there is one E) (real event) Sayoc carried out the rather involved plot by himself but was too dumb to see that in a whole host of different ways, it only helped Democrats and only hurt Republicans, certainly not impossible. Again, this is not straw-grasping, as these scenarios correspond to many actual past events. Still leaning strongly towards it being a set up of some kind, but we’ll see in the coming days.
- TSA unveils plan to mugshoot, fingerprint, and eye-scan all foreign and domestic travelers (If you haven’t been abroad recently, as of several years ago citizens of certain countries were made to submit to a mugshot and fingerprints upon entry. Then about four years ago, it became foreigners from all countries, and for about three years now, all Americans returning to the US are mugshotted upon entry, and the camera terminal also contains a fingerprint scanner. It was already clear, but the TSA now acknowledges plans for biometric entry and exit for Americans, as well as for domestic air travel (and later, maybe bus and train rides, even highway driving). The shadow government has been treating us more and more like prisoners over the past several decades, and this is why I oppose a wall. There are many other, less permanent ways of regulating the border. More often than not, walls have been used to keep an oppressed people in, rather than foreigners out. The 4A-violating TSA needs to be abolished immediately. Its existence and antics are based almost entirely on one staged shoe bombing, one staged underwear bombing (where said bomber was escorted through security and onto plane with no passport), and two cartoon airplanes. Neither deep-state page Obama nor Trump-knows-best are the answers to this lunacy. Instead we need reasonable leadership who understand the importance of civil liberties, e.g. people like Rand Paul and Justin Amash on the right and Tulsi Gabbard on the left, ideally together as a third party, which is probably the only way any of them could rise above the establishment idiocy and win.)
- Paul Craig Roberts banned from Twitter (I’m not a fan of all of Roberts’ work, but most of it is relatively on point. His exile from Twitter shows that the long arm of social media censorship has reached further and further into the mainstream. As Jimmy Dore, whose channel may be next to go, just predicted, the recent purge might have less to do with political correctness, and more with a pre-emptive silencing of opposition to war with Iran (and let’s hope not Russia). The trigger for war? Perhaps a fake or real nuclear/dirty-bomb attack on a US city, or that of a US ally, falsely blamed on an Iran-sponsored terror group. Unless the tech giants are broken up as monopolies, there’s little that can be done about the clampdown other than to fully recognize what is occurring, that most of the online discourse, let alone the laughable news media propaganda, is increasingly controlled and unrepresentative of society. That way the credibility and relevance of the sold-out court commentators and intellectuals who are left standing will continue eroding away, and lose (or having already lost) the critical mass needed to sway public opinion. This is why grand plans always – without any historical exceptions – fail, the ‘inevitable’ futures proclaimed by the rulers never come to pass, and the power-mad dupes who bought in end up on the real or karmic gallows. They lose touch, get impatient and over-confident, and squeeze too tight.)
- Let’s take a quick look at the likely phony package bombings. First, the bombs were exceedingly poorly made and none even partially detonated, so we can rule out any intention to kill. Furthering that point, it was clear that none of the packages would be opened by the actual targets, but low-level staff at best. So a false flag of some kind – i.e. a deed performed by someone other than the supposed: in this case, an imaginary right-wing terrorist – can be safely assumed. To narrow down on a culprit, cui bono, who benefits? Certainly not Republicans, libertarians, Greens, not Antifa, no one benefits at all but the ostensible targets themselves, establishment Democrats, and intelligence and media figures. Being ‘bombable,’ to quote Seinfeld, generally means you’re important, relevant, radical, imminently dangerous; establishment Democrats are none of these things; conversely, they’re boring, predictable hacks who most Americans, left and right alike, just want to retire and go away. Let’s consider what the non-bombings might have at least been hoped to result in: A) justifies increased security theater and surveillance [check] B) makes the population look divided, and the political climate chaotic [check] C) makes Republicans and people opposed to the media-intel complex look unhinged and dangerous [check] D) makes corrupt, core-establishment stooges look like heroes, martyrs, revolutionaries [check] E) galvanizes Democratic voters into turning out and bringing the media-imagined, unlikely ‘blue wave’ to fruition F) makes the midterms into some earth-shaking saga, when unfortunately, few candidates from either party with any promise or street cred have even made it past the primaries [check].
- Anyone who does not weigh or at least entertain all of the following nuance when debating the complex issue of immigration in the context of migrant caravans, that 1) there is a shadow govt aka media-intel complex aka deep state 2) the many caravans strongly appear to be shadow-govt ops 3) the migrants’ homelands, both in Latin America and the Middle East, have for decades been ravaged by the US surface and shadow govts, with an enormous death toll, at the behest of Western/US corporate and banking interests 4) immigrants of the past did not have to pay $15k in legal fees and wait many years in limbo; they merely signed a book, got checked for disease, and entered 5) people born on this Earth have the God-given right to peacefully travel and trade where they will on it 6) legitimate democracies and other bona fide, consensually formed communities have the right to regulate permanent settlement in their territories 7) people born on this Earth do not have the God-given right to collect welfare and other state benefits or vote themselves those benefits, things most immigrants of the past did not do 8) there would be less need and more money for these social programs if the banking system weren’t siphoning off a larger and larger share of the economy, and taxes were spent wisely … is part of the problem, not the solution. All that said, I don’t oppose Trump blocking the clearly engineered march, based on points 1 and 2 alone.
- Under FDA pressure, Ohio moves towards kratom ban (The zero-credibility, bought-and-paid-for FDA has waged a years long battle against the Southeast Asian tree kratom, lobbying for DEA scheduling to no avail. Plan B has been to pressure states, most recently in Ohio, one of the states worst hit by the heroin epidemic. The FDA has built its case mainly around 44 ‘kratom-related deaths’ since 2011, all of which involved ‘other factors,’ including a gunshot wound to the chest, a fall from an upper-storey window, and cocktails of highly lethal prescription opiates; for instance, tramadol, which was ingested alongside kratom in nine ‘kratom-related deaths,’ a single prescription drug, has killed at least 30,000 in the US alone over that time, **about half as many as violent homicide has;** several other deaths involved fentanyl. Aside from its fraudulent death claims, the FDA’s remaining basis for a ban is that kratom, a leafy plant in the coffee family, is ‘opiate-like’ since it interacts with opioid receptors; but so do wheat and cheese. I’ve never taken kratom, but it seems to be safely helping its 3-5 million users manage pain and break free from prescription opiates, and there are no deaths attributable to it. That the shadow govt-owned FDA is willing to lie about kratom and kill tens of thousands per year in order to protect pharma profits is far from shocking, and sadly par for the course. Ben Swann has put out several good exposés of the FDA’s machinations on his YouTube channel.)
- We all know the shadow government is behind these contrived Latino immigrant caravans. What’s happening is obvious: cash-rich shadow gov pays off the cartel coyotes (themselves intel assets/allies), who then offer free or heavily discounted transit for migrants from select regions, where people who don’t have $100 to their names suddenly have their $5-10k toll paid and decide to make the move. Unfortunately, entire nationalities get put into the crosshairs as a result of the bad PR. But it’s just another day for Fakest News aka the media-intel complex: staged limo crashes, manufactured migrant marches, fake shootings and bombings, CGI airplanes, distorted histories, fraudulent wars, the list is endless.
- Over a long period of time, I have compiled significant observational evidence on one of the main points of contention in the ultra high vs. ultra low carb debate, about which diet is better for diabetes prevention. I’ve never eaten a high-carb diet (if defined as 80%-plus caloric share), but a clear pattern has emerged that when my carbohydrate levels have been higher, my fasting blood glucose has been significantly lower, as well as post-prandial (post-meal) sugar, on the order of 15-20 points lower, suggesting improved insulin function. During times when my diet has had the most fat and the least carbs, my blood sugar levels have been the highest, though still not in prediabetic range, and when dietary carbs and sugar levels (from fruit etc.) have been high or highest, blood sugar has been low or lowest. Granted, these were mostly whole-food carbs (mainly fruit, legumes, tubers), and there was little flour, sugar, or other refined carbs present. But I’m fairly confident that excess fat (let’s say near or above 60% of calories) can interfere with insulin response, that insulin efficiency improves when carb levels are normal, and that whole-food fruit sugars – in amounts that would give Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer aneurysms – do not lead to diabetes. If I had not also been restricting refined carbohydrates and eating large amounts of fiber, the highest-fat diet likely would have contributed to long-term risks of both heart disease and diabetes, and therefore cancer. A certain fat level (80%-plus a la keto) may be too much for fiber to handle, hence the persistent long-term CV risks/death toll even with high fiber and vegetable intake. So back to the original question: does fat cause diabetes or does sugar? Both can. Fat without fiber does, sugar/refined carbs without fiber does, and fat and sugar together, eaten without fiber (all the junk food classics), cause it the most (explaining the Chinese diabetes spike, as fiberless white rice is paired with more and more meat). This is why I suspect animal fat has been blamed for diabetes, because many people who eat the most meat eat the least fiber; meat by itself, unlike nuts and seeds, lacks fiber and must be intentionally paired with it, and many fail to do that. Fiber, which you will get more than enough of just by eating a whole-food diet, is not just an optional tool for regularity, but an indispensable macro-nutrient that plays a key role in the prevention and reversal of all the most common diseases.
- As established well enough below, the NY limo crash was a faked event, in which either no one died or everyone was already dead. Why car crashes would be faked was also covered (not that the why even matters when the what is physically impossible). In this utterly insane circus of a political and informational context (one that Hillary would enthusiastically keep in place), hopefully the Bill Maher-loving, self-styled science and fact-checking champions on the left will finally start to see why people were willing to take a gamble on Trump, when comparing him to the bizarro world that is already upon is. But no, instead they’ll probably call the fact of limo fakery (a clear-cut beginner’s case with very many analogs of greater complexity and implications) ‘batshit crazy,’ and continue on in smug delusion.
- A frequent theme here (discussed in depth in Fake Aliens post) has been the manipulation and manufacture of events with the aim of stretching the bounds of what is believable, so that anything will be believed and the world will truly become a stage, as much as it already is. I’ve also discussed the varied sources of ‘cancel-able identities’ that can serve as fake victims. This applies to all kinds of tragedies, not just ‘active’ shootings and public bombings: for just a few among the dozens to hundreds of examples (beyond the obvious and thoroughly proven in Sandy Hook, Boston, Orlando, Nice, Vegas, etc.), the Cassidy Stay murders did not happen as reported or likely at all, the Trayvon Martin incident is highly suspicious and appears at best to have been a set-up of some kind, and there are strong indications the Christopher Dorner manhunt was a training exercise. Last year there were 34,439 fatal car crashes in the US, resulting in 37,461 deaths (1.08 deaths per accident), and surely all but the tiniest sliver of crashes are real in every sense. The recent NY state limo crash is an exception to that. The owner was an FBI informant, had links to [almost invariably Western intel-engineered/run] terror groups, no bystanders seem to have witnessed it other than to say they heard an explosion, and federal agents, mainly the NTSB, took over the investigation. The SUV reportedly hit another, much smaller SUV. It didn’t hit a brick building, train, or mountainside. Equal and opposite reactions dictates that in terms of force (mass over velocity) exerted, the moving and stationary objects in a collision are interchangeable. If a sheer rock face moving at 120 mph hit an SUV, you could imagine there being no survivors. It’s just not believable that not one of the 20 would luck out and survive in this case, if just in the hospital for a few hours or days. But all instantly dead, without even long-shot attempts to resuscitate? I don’t buy it. In the single side-facing perspective of the vehicle (See-BS report linked; the ridiculous animation is a must watch; see also video comments) that is available, no portion looks badly damaged, not even the windows. OK, so this is clearly a fake, but why fake car crashes? Distorting the public’s belief standards for car crashes is important (especially in the age of hackable, self-driving cars), since staged accidents, often plane or auto, are a common method of taking out shadow-government opponents (in addition, the more varied the fake scenarios are, the more thorough the dumbing down is). It is convenient to them if the publicly will uncritically accept every tale of an accident, and head to their local candlelight vigil to be filmed by news media.
- While I don’t make any claims on Kanye’s mental health or lack thereof and wouldn’t be caught dead in a MAGA hat (not into cults of personality or pre-packaged viewpoints), pretty much everything he said during Chris Rock’s taped SNL monologue (described as awkward by heavily medicated Pete Davidson and others), and during previous rants, was accurate. That abuse of boys, girls, and women is rampant among the same male-dominated ‘elite’ who engineered MeToo (if you are blind enough to dismiss this outright, start with the banned/canceled film Conspiracy of Silence: The Franklin Cover-Up). That there has been a long-running, primarily Democratic party scheme to weaken and break up black (and white, Hispanic, etc, but especially black) families, and to have a government check in the mail take the place of husbands and fathers (and sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, neighbors). Whether these policies have racist and anti-family, anti-community motivations or not, those are their obvious effects. There are definite echoes of Michael Jackson’s important speech that large parts of schoolbook history are indeed a fictional fraud, where rarely heard truth was cast as unhinged rambling. Most anything that the establishment and its Hollywood minions in good standing decry as terrifying, horrifying, batshit crazy, demented, sick, awful, dark-hearted, etc, etc, bears at the least some consideration, if it’s not self-evidently true.
- Greek president to remind Germany of €280 billion in war reparations (All’s fair in love, war, and neofeudal debt-currency scams, and like begets like. Everyone needs to go Iceland on the out-of-control EU and its phony debt claims. Italy and Austria seem like the next to jump the Euro currency zone, meaning they’ll effectively be out from under the EU thumb, like the ‘members’ in Eastern Europe are and will remain, ignored timelines of the undemocratic, meaningless Maastricht treaty notwithstanding.)
- Study Confirms that Humans Recognize 5,000 Faces (Other studies show that the average person can associate about 500 names with people at any given time. If I don’t know your name and face, you aren’t yet my friend, and you certainly don’t represent me, nor I you. Does that mean we share nothing? Absolutely not. But when it comes to the worldly and the corporal, human beings have their limits: names, faces, dollars, subjects / constituents, and it is vain in both senses to think otherwise. Tribe, village, town, city-state should be the target range for human-scale political systems, where all or most power sits. Allow power to move beyond the capacity of men and you start to get monsters, more and bigger. Sovereign or mostly sovereign political units can share common laws and standards with other units to facilitate trade and travel, and join in enormous, unincorporated confederations (or ‘unconstitutional,’ as Tolkien called it), but the bigger the constituted unit gets and the more that is ceded to the top of it, the worse things will always get.)
- I previously mentioned Joel Fuhrman as the single best high-profile nutritional voice for people without the time or patience for independent research, and I stand by that. Fuhrman’s ‘nutritarian’ approach and ‘G-BOMBS’ (Greens [including crucifers]-Beans-Onions [and other alliums]-Mushrooms-Berries [cherries, and other polyphenol-rich fruits]-Seeds [and nuts] mnemonic provide a simple and effective blueprint for whole-food micro-nutritional sufficiency and broad protection against cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, that when taken with moderate amounts of meat and fish, also resonates with the traditional cuisines of most high-longevity cultures, as well as with what is available in most of nature. Walking through a habitable ecosystem, the foods you will encounter overwhelmingly consist of greens, wild garlics or onions (allium genus), fruits (most often berries, currants, cherries), fungi, nuts and seeds, and one or more staple carbohydrate (acorns or chestnuts, easily processed legumes and grains, starchy tubers, tree syrups), as well as herbs and spices. Obviously other food types should be included, but if you build your daily diet around a fairly even balance of these categories, it will be very hard to go very wrong; a recent example: large serving of greens, stewed beans with onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms, moderate amount of high-quality meat; snack: walnuts and blueberries. Eliminating both fruit and legumes deprives the diet of important fiber and phytonutrients and throws off normal macro balance, necessitating excess fat consumption to fill the caloric void, where I would define imbalance as anything much below 30% carbs (~180g/day) and above 50% fat (~125g/day), and with that profile most of the fats better be whole-food, fibrous kinds (e.g. nuts, seeds, avocados).
- Vice producer: “There were people who were paid by organizations like [‘women’s advocacy group’] UltraViolet, to try to harness that energy in a way that would make those viral moments that we ended up seeing.” Paid to make viral moments. In other words, this and almost everything else in the media-intel focus is propaganda, as has been long known: the narratives, the staged photos on front pages, the WMDs, chemical attacks, etc. Now the media is trying to say they technically aren’t paid protesters since they weren’t paid for this job, even though they agreed to do it for money, and have likely been paid in the past for the same work. Fine, they’re fake protesters, protesting on behalf of a fake victim. Do alt-right outlets and cointel shills in the conspiracy realm also employ fakery? Sure. Did Trump? I would guess, yes. But two or 10,000 fakes don’t make a real.
- Kudos to Trump for ‘doubling down’ and calling a spade a spade: Ford is by all appearances a lying political operative, and the claims appear well enough to be a complete hoax. To all assault victims who have stories with fewer holes than swiss cheese, aren’t the daughters of high-level CIA agents, haven’t authored papers on self-hypnosis to ‘create artificial situations’ or spent decades teaching at psych-intel hotbeds, haven’t provably faked multiple phobias and trauma symptoms, haven’t lied under oath about polygraph-passing expertise, haven’t waited 36 years until the eve of your accused’s professional culmination that you and all your friends happen to be viscerally opposed to, don’t talk in a highly affected way that looks just like unwatchably bad acting, and haven’t accepted donations of $800k from GoFundMe alone, I sympathize with you and encourage you to come forward. Instead of clawing at the Supreme Court’s doors, victims and deluded protesters should be at Ford’s, given the perhaps unprecedented damage she did to past and future efforts to report sex crimes.
- The Kavanaugh-Ford affair has highlighted a crisis that is occurring in this country and is a frequent topic on this blog, and it’s not about political division or gender relations. It is a bigger epistemological crisis, having to do with credulity and the standard required for belief. There will always be some scheme or ploy to move us in the desired direction. If the citizens cannot distinguish apparent fact from apparent fiction, and are unable to weigh evidence and make informed conclusions, democracy is gone and schemocracy, the rule of schemers and scammers over dupes, is in effect. Regarding the logical non-sequiturs put on display: that people have personally been victims of assault or abuse, as unfortunate and unjust as that is, or that they can relate to [apparently fictional] stories of victimhood of other women has nothing whatsoever to do with whether Kavanaugh should be Supreme Court justice, unless there is also a preponderance of reasons to believe Kavanaugh is himself an abuser, and there wasn’t, at all. The discourse around confirmation, in sadly predictable fashion, morphed into a MeToo story-sharing forum and general protest against assault, without any hard examination of the evidence (probably since there wasn’t much to examine) that would make these things relevant or not to Kavanaugh. Those who opposed Kavanaugh on political grounds, myself included (mainly on civil liberties, as I oppose all the other justices; while also opposing his attempted railroading on likely bogus allegations), must focus on reforming politics (or ignore/boycott it altogether), not shutting down mental processes and wilfully becoming pawns of the powerful. If reform is possible, the last half-century has shown that it will come through unity, compromise, thoughtful debate, and common ground, not ridicule, attack (or avoidance), and go-nowhere minority platforms (e.g. Progressivism, libertarianism). In the absence of that, the pathetic 4-year cycles of post-triumph complacency from one side, and indignation, dread, and revenge from the other (when all the while, the same core policies continue) will keep replaying.
- Documentary from Hearst/Fox/Disney-owned Vice about ‘black identity extremists’ who are being harassed, surveilled, raided, and jailed without bond by the FBI and DHS today in COINTELPRO fashion (an illegal FBI program that included outright assassination of black activists, as well as multiple attempts to extort MLK into suicide just prior to his murder by the shadow government, among thousands of other high crimes) for legal self-defense initiatives that amount to a neighborhood watch organization. Haven’t yet watched and I imagine it’s rife with subtle propaganda, but it discusses an important topic. Through a mistake in the mail I get a copy of the comical, thoroughly entertaining ‘Intelligence Report’ from the Southern Poverty Law Center every quarter. One issue contained a map of ‘hate groups’ (most or many of which are and have long been headed and heavily populated by federal agents). As corporate-left groups like the $400-million SPLC continuously tout their anti-racist credentials and rally blacks and people of color towards the Democratic cause and away from ‘old white men,’ it’s worth noting that in the report there were 4x times more ‘black nationalist’ groups listed than any other kind of group (some of the other categories were white nationalist, environmental, animal rights, [non-black] Native-American nationalist), and that a large percentage of the organizations appeared to be religious and historical societies, not political groups. Any person or group asserting any kind of sovereignty/independence or seeking a fundamental change to the status quo (including its historical narratives) is an extremist or hate group to the bank-owned corporate left (and right). Same as it ever was, the rulers hate dissent; don’t be fooled by the new labels and new divisionary tactics.
- I’ve already said it in more words, but as investigation appears to have further and superfluously confirmed, everything about Blasey-Ford’s testimony is pure and utter BS. The cutesy mannerisms and caffeine requests, the fake fear of flying (when she’s constantly tooting around the world to farflung destinations), the fake requirement for two front doors (which was to maximize rental income, not suppress anxiety), the non-believable memory patterns, the perjurious denials about polygraph coaching; let’s stop pretending she’s credible and a survivor of assault, at least by Kavanaugh. Trump is right to openly mock her: at some point you just have to call it out. People often lie to get what they want, including women with PhDs, including about sexual assault and any number of other things. She lied, she got $800k+++, she may or may not have succeeded in her assignment to derail Kavanaugh. Why this is some taboo or crazy suggestion – that she simply made it up, on purpose, for money and other benefits – is beyond me (not really; it’s because they don’t like people straying near the truth), when similar schemes have been proven to have occurred innumerable times. Yet again, I do not and never have supported Patriot Act-loving, Fourth Amendment-trampling Kavanaugh. How he compares to other people with an actual chance of nomination, I haven’t studied, but I can’t imagine any of them are all that much better, if not worse, which allows us to argue this point at hand.
- Evans-Pritchard: My Sinister Battle with Kavanaugh (Pritchard’s ‘battle’ with Kavanaugh consists entirely of his silent observation that Kavanaugh was cocky. What the article brushes aside is that the FBI was caught forging witness interviews to support their case, and the bouts of witness-intimidating, in-your-face ‘group surveillance’ that Pritchard attributes to Kavanaugh with no evidence also have Bureau fingerprints, as classic COINTELPRO antics that routinely continue on today against dissidents, whistleblowers, and anyone else unpopular with the shadow government.)
- The day the Swetnick gang-rape allegations came out, I noted that Swetnick’s odd social life – she a 19-year-old college student getting drunk and trolling parties of mostly male high school juniors on a weekly basis – mirrored that of imprisoned statutory-rapist adult women who have sought group sex with young teens. Now a Democrat with truly nothing to gain and much to lose, unlike Blasey-Ford and her multi-million-dollar windfall, has called Swetnick out as a ‘group sex enthusiast’ who ‘started in high school,’ and who has a history of spurious lawsuits as plaintiff, as well as claims against her for sexual harassment and inappropriate sexual conduct at work. The M.O. was and is clear: Blasey-Ford’s tale underwhelmed, so they manufactured more. At this time there is no reason to believe Kavanaugh is a sexual abuser, yet decreasing millions, including the utterly discredited ACLU, continue to mindlessly clamor against him on those grounds. Again, the disservice to bona fide victims – perpetrated by their supposed champions – cannot be calculated.
- Like much of what occurs at the federal level, Roe v. Wade is an unconstitutional ruling that is rendered legally void by the Tenth Amendment. According to US law, abortion, along with gay marriage, etc., is to be decided by the states, deferred to their counties and cities, or left unregulated. Were Kavanaugh to be confirmed and Roe v. Wade to be struck down (far from a certain eventuality), at least half of the states would continue allowing abortion, and certainly private groups would be offering free transport, lodging, etc., to people in prohibiting areas. Few or no states would prohibit in cases of rape, incest, or death risk to mother, and many might set a middle-ground depending on stage of pregnancy. The states only agreed to the Constitution and created the federal government on the condition that they were allowed to preserve sovereignty over most of their affairs, including lifestyle, morality, public health, infrastructure, and environmental issues. After posting on states’ rights recently I noticed that as of late last year anti-liberty, pro-imperial Google has attempted to obscure this history by erasing all state and provincial borders from its Maps website on its Chrome browsers, even when zooming in closely. This was obviously no mistake. The corporate borg Google is part of wants to centralize and standardize all nations and their states under a world banking system, and notions of borders and sovereignty are a major obstacle. Google is a monopoly and a menace to the US and other nation-states in spite of their non-threatening baby-block logo. They and other tech behemoths need to be broken up into dozens of independent entities.
- As Blasey-Ford’s lies die and she fearlessly flies into the Tahitian sunset with her newfound millions, the next strategy has been to investigate exactly how many drinks Kavanaugh had at high school parties that have no relation to rape claims, and whether he understated that number. Kavanaugh likely sugar-coated his high school and college years, but confirmation hearings aren’t the Howard Stern Show, and there is no obligation to entertain every silly, irrelevant line of inquiry. As for the credentials of a judge, I would put more credence in someone who has ventured out of the library, lived life, and made mistakes than I would in an ivory-tower theoretician trapped inside his own head. Intelligence and knowledge are not wisdom and never will be, and many of the most learned are among the least wise. I’m not necessarily referring to Kavanaugh as wise, but speaking generally. If we’re now eliminating every man who has ever done or said stupid things from high office, regardless of when those things occurred, there will be very few left standing, since normal testosterone levels make young (and sometimes not-so-young) men do dumb things. And the last I checked, estrogen can also lead to much irrational behavior. People of all hormonal make-ups do stupid stuff in their teens and early 20s. Eliminating Kavanaugh because he threw an ice cube at someone as a teenager and got into a scuffle or fist fight is like eliminating every woman who has run up to her bedroom crying and screaming ‘I hate you’ at some point in the past; sorry miss, that was not a judicial temperament, you’re out.
- Collectively, the several ‘Team Blasey-Ford’ GoFundMe campaigns have already topped $750k (largest one at $528k linked; others stand at $209k and $25k). Her lawyers are working pro bono and her security is also covered, so this isn’t going to them. Shadow government stooges have routinely reaped 7-figure payouts through sites like GoFundMe, without accounting for less-public donations and any indirect or under-the-table benefits, which are probably together much larger. Never having to work again, getting what you and your friends want politically, and believing you’re doing good all the while make up a very strong incentive for misbehavior. I predict Blasey-Ford gets over her fake fear of flying and renews her passion for Tahitian cultural studies in the immediate future.
- Good snippet from the low-to-zero-credibility Blasey-Ford testimony, an incalculable disservice to the many genuine victims of sexual assault and abuse. What you are watching is an amateur acting performance which will ideally land CIA-daughter Ford in prison or destitute from a civil lawsuit, though just going away will also do. Where quasi-real ‘hot’ subterfuge was once the treason of choice, full-on fakery using bargain-basement actors has become the shadow gov’s new normal.
- Maryland investigators say they’ll investigate if Blasey-Ford files complaint (Complaint, Investigation, Charging, Trial, Verdict. These are the fundamental elements of criminal justice. Ford hasn’t filed a criminal complaint because she is either lying and doesn’t want to be cornered by investigators and pulled off script, or she lacks certainty about what happened (if anything did, maybe it was consensual, or a jestful, zero-threat flash in the pan, which would be why no one including Ford remembers) and feels guilty initiating legal action, more likely the first IMO. Forget about prosecution, police departments wouldn’t even accept her complaint because she doesn’t know with any degree of accuracy where the crime happened or when it happened, and there’s apparently no physical or circumstantial evidence whatsoever that anything actually occurred. Democrats are obsessing over FBI investigations, but it is not in the [recently deeply politicized] FBI’s mandate to investigate local violent crimes, and it’s a slap in the face to local and county investigators, who spend their time successfully solving real crime, rather than on political prosecutions, Cointelpro-style harassment [and worse], staged terror plots, and ‘active shooter’ drills cast as reality.)
- I’m pretty sure that contrary to his testimony Kavanaugh has had plenty of moments he doesn’t remember precisely (due to alcohol or the passing of time), and has probably done things he’d prefer not to air publicly, in front of his family and children (haven’t we all?). That doesn’t mean he ever committed rape or assault, nor does it mean Blasey-Ford isn’t a lying or ‘misremembering’ political operative. Whatever the truth of the issue may be, all that is certain is that there’s nothing even approaching a clear and convincing case that Kavanaugh committed grave wrongdoing at any point in his life. As for Kavanaugh’s implications on things like abortion and gay marriage, these are not federal issues and the Tenth Amendment, which is as much a part of the Constitution as all the others, dictates that they and all other lifestyle and morality questions be decided by the states or their subdivisions. The political landscape is and long will be such that should people find themselves in a prohibiting state, county, or city, there will be plenty of legal options within an hour or day’s drive, as well as the freedom to move to those places. Macon, Manhattan, Milwaukee, and Montana aren’t the same, and beyond respecting basic human rights, shouldn’t have to be. The states are supposed to have sovereignty and a unique political, economic, social, and cultural character, not be forcibly homogenized (not ethnically, but legally and culturally) and arbitrarily delineated administrative entities, lorded over by an overreaching federal government and lacking ever fewer distinctions apart from corporate-owned, moveable sports teams.
- The insinuation of several Democratic senators in the Kavanaugh hearing, particularly Cory Booker (linked; channel not endorsed), that athletes who drink ‘brewskis,’ even a lot of them, are wantonly raping women and are worthy of special scrutiny is absurd. While I always identified with multiple ‘groups,’ I played sports and not so infrequently drank in high school, and also played sports in college for a short time, and I came to know hundreds of other people who did those two things. Never once did I witness, suspect, or get wind of a sexual assault or rape, attempted or completed, nothing involving violence, restraint, drugging, passed-out victims, etc.; and I don’t think my observations are at all unusual. At ‘drinking parties’ involving athletes and non-athletes, there were some light and harsh ribbing and bullying, insensitive comments, fights and foolish stunts, etc., loosely consistent with other media depictions, but no sex assaults or rapes. I’m sure it happens sometimes in that setting like it does everywhere, but the idea that this activity is rampant in the context of high school or college sports, based on my own experiences, appears to be chiefly the product of imaginative journalists with an axe to grind. This isn’t me cheerleading, just doing whatever I can to dismantle another room in the media-intel house of horrors (just down the hall from ‘Murderous Illegals’ ‘KKK Trump Supporters’ ‘Libtard Communists’ ‘Global Warming’ ‘ISIS Jihadists’ etc etc).
- Having seen part of the hearings, Blasey-Ford’s demeanor, tightly disciplined testimony, and cutesy ‘caffeine’ one-liners smacked strongly of rehearsal and were very low in credibility, contrary to media talking points. Setting aside what she has alleged, no one who she claims was there has even the vaguest memory of the events, including her supposedly present best friend at the time (who says she never met Kavanaugh), and her immediate family (brothers, parents) and entire extended birth family are absent from a letter vouching for her credibility (only her husband whom she married at age 36 and his family are listed). Why might this be, when even estrangement would likely allow for one-off mending of bridges for this most serious purpose? My guess is that it’s because they know that Ford is a loon who fabricated or distorted a ‘recovered’ memory, and/or a lifelong liar who made the whole thing up for a political and financial payoff. As for her taking an oath, short of entering Ford’s ‘hippocampus,’ it’s very difficult to absolutely prove a negative (that made-up events did not in fact occur at some unspecified time and unknown place approximately 36 years ago), so the legal risk of lying is close to nil, while the reward (payoff for derailing nomination) is potentially massive. I’m no fan of Kavanaugh (or any other sitting or prospective justice), particularly on key civil liberties issues, but the case against him is getting weaker by the day, not stronger. Ford’s allegations remain several universes away from establishing guilt (lacking enough detail to even file a police report), and the addition of the even more dubious claims that followed make the odds that all were part of a conspiracy much greater.
- Once again, the Kavanaugh accusations are problematic. I try to avoid certain topics on this blog, and again I do not support Kavanaugh as Supreme Court justice, but if Swetnick (a 19-year-old college student attending parties of high school juniors on a weekly basis) were so horrified and threatened by whatever went on at the likely embellished or made-up parties, why would she return to them ‘more than ten times’? If the punch really contained date-rape drugs and not just alcohol, would she merely ‘avoid it’ rather than warn the police or at least other girls? Wouldn’t that knowledge make her an accessory to many rapes? As for Swetnick’s own alleged rape (after which she continued attending the parties), it’s worth nothing that the many adult women imprisoned for group sex with high school boys had strange social lives typically mirrored Swetnick’s. As for the alleged activities, assuming they’re not largely or entirely fictional, I am aware of teen girls and women heavily drinking alcohol voluntarily and knowingly and doing things they later regret, and I’m aware of teen girls and women having had sex with multiple boys/men voluntarily, and I would venture that few of these cases as a percentage were rapes or gang rapes. There are also non-consensual, criminal analogs to that behavior, but there’s no solid indication which this is, and Kavanaugh’s having wittingly or unwittingly been in the general vicinity of [the unclear, potentially fictional] it 35+ years ago is far from a conclusive career death sentence. Sure, all the claims may be true and worse behavior may be yet undiscovered, but actionable charges must be founded on evidence, even if that means some people get away with crimes and misdeeds. Let’s throw out a number and say a Supreme Court appointment has implications worth $50 billion to backers and opponents. Would opponents not set aside 0.1% or less of the prize ($5M) in order to manufacture multiple, endless claims? Clearly yes, they would; obviously there must be some middle ground between ‘Believe [all self-declared] Survivors [regardless of proof and plausibility]’ and dismissing them, when it comes to life-altering consequences for the accused. If this medium isn’t established, ‘MeToo’ will backfire (maybe part of the plan all along, given who the highest-level establishment consists of) and the prospects of justice for women who come forward with genuine charges against powerful men will self-destruct in short order, which will be bad for all of us.
- The entire Supreme Court is a disgrace to the Constitution, and Fourth Amendment-trashing Kavanaugh – who needs only hear the word terrist to trample the [mostly dead-letter] civil liberties the judiciary should hold precious – doesn’t promise to be an exception. But to take the recent news item on its face, Blasey-Ford’s story doesn’t appear to add up, even in the stormy context of teen drunkenness. Kavanaugh is accused of trying to remove Ford’s clothing to some extent and briefly covering her mouth, which was put to an instant stop when someone who was in the room – and on the same bed – ‘tumbled onto them’ [not in Ford’s defense, so by accident?]. If the incident occurred in a closed bedroom, why is this other person not only not being accused alongside Kavanaugh, but being sought out as a witness in support of Ford? At that point, you’re either a co-attacker, a defender, or involved in some kind of consensual (or at least low/no-threat) activity. Let’s say Blasey-Ford’s bizarre story is somehow true. Why does she get weeks to ‘negotiate’ testimony in front of a national audience? If she’s the victim of a crime, she or an attorney should simply go to the local police station and finally file a complaint against Kavanaugh. If detectives find substantial evidence her claims are true, and it appears they won’t based on developments thus far, Kavanaugh will be charged (not to say guilty), which will be heavily covered by the media and which will likely affect his confirmation, and if there isn’t evidence, innocence should be presumed and his life should be allowed to proceed as normal. This is the way a law-and-order society is supposed to work; not to say that’s what this country necessarily is, but we’re talking about crimes, courts, and judges here. Sure, it’s undoubtedly possible an assault can occur without evidence being discovered, but there is significant evidence against Ford’s claim, and there are reasons to believe a strong political and perhaps financial motive to lie or mischaracterize may exist (e.g. her politics, timing of claims, absence of other obstacles to confirmation, etc.; as for reports of 2012 therapy, they derive from Ford herself and are unverifiable due to privacy laws). Were Ford to lament lack of time for a full investigation, she should have brought her complaint months ago when she contacted Feinstein, or some other time in the last 36 years. Those who say Blasey-Ford would have nothing to gain by inventing the story or mischaracterizing it couldn’t be more naive. While left-right politics in America are a charade and there is ultimately only one establishment, there are powerful people who don’t want Kavanaugh on the court and who want to keep one of this season’s divide-and-conquer devices in place as long as possible, in the 24/7 propaganda circus called The News. When you do the bidding of those moneyed interests, with collective wealth well into the trillions, you will be taken care of.
- An interesting fact is that Trump is really the only household name who accurately described what occurred in NYC on 9/11 (that explosives were arranged in the rough shape of a plane, and detonated at the moment of ‘impact’ [of a computer graphic, visible only to TV viewers; see post for how it was likely done], with the buildings also destroyed by explosives), and he did so on the day of the event (linked here). As an NBC anchor stated in the memory-holed clip at 32:06 of the below-linked documentary 911 Taboo, “The plane was the bomb, and you just saw the bomb go off.” This isn’t me claiming Trump is a bona fide outsider, or 9/11 truth or justice seeker. His record speaks otherwise – the $150 billion/yr spending increase to ‘rebuild’ a military larger than all the world’s combined, the cut & pasted Twitter endorsements of establishment Republicans who back illegal wars, advocacy for the execution of whistle blowers who stood against those wars, etc. The linked audio clip has been utterly buried by Google-Youtube (with only one video available, which has <1k views), and has become very difficult to find, where you have to quote-mark exact excerpts to find it. What this means in a broader sense, I can't say, but it's noteworthy and if it can bring attention to the true nature of the event, then that's a good thing.
- Hopefully one day soon the American people will universally rue the 9/11 attacks as a self-inflicted wound and the ensuing military campaigns as deeply misguided and unfortunate mistakes that had and have no or negative bearing on Constitutional freedoms. Until then, while war criminals still host warmly attended book signings, the anti-war movement stays in its 10-year slumber, and radio and TV hosts replay their tired ‘duhyuh remember where you were’ segments, it will be necessary to comment on the event every dark anniversary. It seems that at this point few Americans (and even fewer foreigners) don’t realize the official narrative of 9/11 stinks to a significant degree, though there are also few who realize just how badly. In the post ‘The Case for No Planes,’ I believe I’ve proven miles beyond a reasonable doubt (thanks largely to other researchers, whose evidence was then verified) the following points, among others, however strange they may seem: 1) the ‘hijackers’ (at least 7 of 19 of whom were found alive afterwards) were fictional villains who were mostly randomly generated by the media-intel complex and had little or nothing at all to do with the attacks, and none boarded any aircraft. 2) The alleged passenger jets were mere computer graphics that were motion-tracked onto internal explosions, and the hijacked flights never existed. A few dozen planted witnesses and media personalities manufactured the ‘plane consensus’ in the immediate aftermath of the first and second explosions, and props like hand-portable plane parts, on-site audio effects, and tales of never-was Flight 93 (among many others) bolstered it. 3) The buildings were destroyed in a ‘three failsafes’ strategy, which involved A) mini-nuclear or mega-scale explosives, B) conventional explosives and nanothermitic compounds, and C) some kind of directed energy device that may have been tested for future use as a fake alien weapon (in a long-planned scheme to ‘unite’ nations under a world government by means of an external/ET threat; see Fake Aliens post). This strategy ensured destruction of the towers even if two methods failed, and in the highly likely event that only one or none failed, would allow for the destruction of all evidence. The implausibility of total building pulverization would only be a bonus, pulling dumbfounded and traumatized Americans into even deeper suspension of disbelief, and thus more ripe for victimization. Where to go from here? Nowhere really; just stop privately and publicly believing BS like the 9/11 official narrative on an individual level, and I’d imagine better things will ultimately follow for the rest of us. For those new to the 9/11 research road (which I personally exited a couple years ago and rarely return to, feeling more than enough has been discovered by now) and short on time, I recommend the linked documentary 911 Taboo.
- I tentatively took down a post regarding a theory that the Richat Structure in Mauritania is the site of Atlantis, were Atlantis to be real. Though Richat lies 300 miles from the Atlantic, most of the interceding land is between 60 and 300 feet above sea level. Sea levels were 400 feet lower in not so distant human history, and could have been subtantially higher in the past, and there are reasons to believe large parts of the Sahara were once underwater during human history. Plato’s works place Atlantis’s demise at around 9,500-10,500 BC, during the climatically tumultuous Younger Dryas period that could have dramatically changed the Saharan landscape. The reason I took down the post is because one of its most compelling claims appears not to be true. The author claims that Plato’s Timaeus describes Atlantis as 127 stadia in diameter (14 miles or 23 kilometers, the precise diameter of Richat), while the text appears to state a diameter of 15 stadia or just under two miles, which seems a normal size for an ancient city. Unfortunately several news sites have echoed the apparently false claim of the viral video in question. One thing you can be sure of about this blog is that all posted content is founded on vetted primary sources, which in most cases are not just ‘from the internet’ and can also be found in libraries and museums (which is not to say that all primary material is genuine and unmanipulated, and when genuine, based in truth; this applies to towering figures like Plato and their works as well, where in most cases very little is known of their lives, and where their works have hardly remained in trusted custody); nothing is taken from secondary sources without primary verification. All that said, I don’t rule out that Richat may be a site of human significance.
- Some points in favor of legumes, which have come to be spoken lowly of or shunned altogether by large swaths of the ‘health movement.’ I have avoided beans and legumes to varying extents (never completely) over the past several years, on ‘anti-nutrient’ grounds, though embraced them again in the past year or two. Avoidance seems to have been a bad route for a few reasons: A) Nuts and seeds have higher phytic acid content than most beans, and alleged anti-nutrient phytic acid (which let’s remember just means ‘plant acid’), which does bind some but not all minerals (around half in the worst cases) when eaten with them, appears to have health benefits including anti-cancer and anti-oxidant effects. Almost no one who avoids legumes on phytic acid grounds also avoids nuts and seeds on those grounds. For those wary of mineral binding, a bean-vegetable soup not meant as a major dietary source of minerals would be a way to get them. B) It is hard to dispute that legumes, specifically beans, promote longevity. Almost all ‘blue zone’ cultures consume significant amounts. Hispanic Americans live almost a decade longer than whites and blacks in this country, and consume far more beans (hence the epithet for Mexicans). No nutritional or genetic (Hispanic isn’t an ethnicity anyway) cause other than bean consumption has been found, and black and pinto beans are among the healthiest. My guess is that it’s due to unique fibers and anti-oxidants that may prevent or reverse plaque build-up and perhaps prevent cancer. C) Fabacae, the legume family, are the most plentiful plant category in tropical rain- and dry forests, eliminating the argument that beans would not be normal for paleolithic people to encounter and eat. What we call legumes are the fruits and seeds of Fabacae plants. D) Beans are easily cooked when soaked, and surely humans discovered rudimentary processing like soaking tens if not hundreds of thousands of years ago. E) Gut bacteria to digest beans and other legumes develops after only one or two meals of them. I can personally attest to this, where digestion goes better when they’re regularly eaten. F) They’re a great carb choice for those concerned with moderating blood sugar, with most having a very low glycemic index (~30).
- I’d like to put out a warning regarding Roundup Ready GMO corn. While I knew most corn (around 90%) was GMO, which itself is carcinogenic, damages DNA, and promotes sterility, I didn’t know about the glyphosate risks. Glyphosate (active ingredient of Roundup) is a potent carcinogen and is bio-accumulative. Soybean, canola, clover (feed) and alfalfa (feed) also have Roundup Ready variants, and Roundup is used in most wheat and oat cultivation. Roundup Ready means they can soak the fields with unlimited amounts of poison without killing the crops. I don’t eat a whole lot of corn, but I sometimes eat tacos and tortillas that are not necessarily non-GMO. Non-GMO corn is not expensive, and with small amounts of pressure restaurants would ditch these products. Even mega-corporate brands like Pop Secret have gotten on board with non-GMO. It’s probably impossible to avoid glyphosate entirely, and I’m sure I won’t, but just something to be aware of. The US needs to follow other nations and ban mass-murdering glyphosate.
- Trump is absolutely right that Google-Youtube and Facebook-Instagram are rigged. In addition to the all-out censorship of late (which had already been going on for years with many smaller channels), they have long practiced so called shadow-banning in the form of comment blanking (visible only to poster), search de-ranking, manipulated view and subscriber counts, deletion and deranking of unfavorable comments, ‘abuse’ notices and threats of account deletion for peaceful and lawful comments, automatic subscription and unsubscription to ‘friendly’ and ‘hostile’ channels respectively along with heavy recommendation of the former’s content, and many other dishonest tactics, all of which have been occurring and almost all of which I have personally experienced: as Eric Schmidt admitted, they ‘make it so you don’t see it.’ Regarding the solution to this, I haven’t considered it much; I can only say with certainty that I don’t favor a Trump takeover of social media as a public utility. A threatened or actual break-up on anti-monopoly grounds would be a better route and would likely spur instant reform by shareholder demand. As always, I’m by no means an unconditional Trump fan or endorsing all his actions, just giving credit where due. It’s absurd (and Sad!) that this kind of qualifier must be attached, but it seems that’s where we are.
- Since I believe all people are imperfect and redeemable, I wish John McCain to RIP. But a major truth of McCain is that he had an integral hand in the deaths of many, many thousands of people Americans and otherwise (who got no half-mast flag) – through his instrumentality in the West-created and managed ISIS to name only one example – and to his dying day made continuous and fervent calls for the wholesale bombing of countries who have not attacked anyone for centuries (and repeatedly joked about doing it), and I firmly believe he knew the many totally unconstitutional military actions he pushed for harder than just about anyone were based heavily in lies and half-truths. McCain should not be lauded as an independent force or maverick, the latter an empty media label for his deeply pro-establishment, if erratic voting record. Whoever McCain was in his private life, his public presence / menace for the last three and a half decades (which appears to be the main object of celebration) was in few ways one to be cherished (with his stance on torture one of the only bright spots), and was getting worse by the year (to take nothing away from his exploits earlier in life); to that, great riddance.
- An incomplete thought that may well already be part of the discourse: that carbohydrate restriction inhibits cellular respiration, one of the body’s most important functions, which may play a major part in poor very-long-term health outcomes (including the non-heart-related) from very low/no-carb diets. If cellular respiration requires water, oxygen and glucose (which whole-food-carb foods are rich in), extreme restriction of carbohydrates, characterized by dehydration and low systemic glucose and glycogen (not just in blood), would seem to also be marked by low respiration. This idea may sound strange – that one’s diet may bear on an ‘internal breathing’ of sorts – but a huge number of whole foods have been shown to improve endothelial function and blood flow, which improves oxygenation, ‘nitrogenation,’ etc., though the exact mechanism of the effect hasn’t yet been identified as far as I know.
- A frequent chorus from no/ultra-low-carb advocates is “there are no essential carbohydrates.” This is false in several ways. One is that phytonutrients like proanthocyanidins and the many other classes of polyphenols, which optimize health, are available chiefly and sometimes only in carbohydrate-rich foods. These abundant phytonutrients should be called essential, so their ‘carb carriers’ are also essential. Another is that people cannot thrive on just any macro-nutritional makeup. Macronutrients include fat, protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. Neglecting or over-consuming any one of these has consequences. Macro-nutritional balance is essential to human function (which makes carbohydrates essential), and removing carbs or cutting them too low will come to mean only two things: A) death from caloric deficiency B) early death from premature heart disease caused by excess fat and cholesterol consumed to fill that void; premature, assuming all factors other than dietary were equal. And of course people can survive for several decades on an ultra low or no-carb diet (so can they on Big Macs and cigarettes), but for most people who take special care in their diets, avoiding disease and living a long life (at or above average life expectancy) are primary concerns. And of course carbs are not all equal. From worst to best they might be: 1) GMO corn syrup 2) [Often glyphosate-tainted, unnaturally high-gluten-strain] wheat flour 3) Sugar and other syrups, non-wheat flours 4) Truly whole grains (flour is processed, not whole; rolled oats and quinoa might be called whole) and starchy tubers 4) (probably a tie) less nutrient-dense fruits 5) legumes (for low glycemic index, antioxidant levels, and apparent longevity promotion, probably due to aforementioned qualities and high fiber content) and polyphenol-rich fruits (including but not limited to berries, cherries, dark grapes, currants).
- Some further thoughts on the ketogenic diet. I maintain that keto is a state of simulated starvation, where the body is tricked into believing it has not consumed food and is tapping internal fat stores, due to the diet’s extremely high-fat macro profile, something that would be impossible to achieve in almost all ecosystems (and which even the low-longevity Inuit populations adapted against by developing markedly enhanced gluconeogenesis). The state of emergency may trigger some form of mental desperation that may aid in some activities, but is being in a self-induced state of emergency 24/7 really net-desirable in the long term? Being ‘fat adapted’ is just another description for this tricking of the body. Human beings are absolutely not designed to constantly burn their own fat stores, ‘become a fat-burning machine,’ and never store fat, and a person who cannot store fat would be called ill. Occasional ‘storage events’ are not bad; fat stores are supposed to always be present in case of emergency. One reason beyond starvation protection that the constant burning of fat stores is problematic is because fats – both stored and dietary – are metabolized into cholesterol. Oxidative stress can convert these fat-metabolite blood cholesterols, even the ‘fluffy’ ones, into non-fluffy, atherogenic LDL, so a high total cholesterol count and high dietary contribution may be dangerous regardless of the particle shape and size at any given time, which explains the persistence of CV risks and low longevity among ultra-low/no carb eaters regardless of attempts to countervail them. OS triggers include sugars and trans fats, but are not limited to them, and it is impossible and undesirable to eliminate OS which is part of critical functions like healing, explaining why high-sugar high-trans-fat high-cholesterol is the ultimate risk trifecta, but why high cholesterol by itself is in fact also a risk. This could also make very high-fat diets a concern, particularly when most of the fats come from fiberless extracts (oil, butter), where the fiber in whole foods tends to flush out excess fat and keep blood cholesterol down. Concerns regarding high acidity haven’t been answered either, with proponents failing to differentiate between diabetic ketoacidosis and ‘regular’ ketoacidosis, merely stating that non-diabetic ketoacidosis is fine when part of a ‘good’ and ‘controlled’ diet, even though many symptoms (dehydration, cramps, etc.) overlap. As stated before, if you are severely obese and lack the discipline for gradual, long-term weight loss, keto may be a good way to quickly return to a healthy weight. Otherwise, unless you are a cutting-phase pro bodybuilder or treatment-resistant epilectic (neither of whom have historically expected long lifespans), it seems highly likely to lead to the number-one killer of premature heart disease, for whatever it claims to do against diabetes and cancer (with CV pharma like statins also causing organ damage and cancer), where the nose is cut to spite the face. Fears of insulin spikes are mostly unfounded; insulin is meant to be continually produced and used to transport the carb-derived glucose that is the primary product of photosynthesis and is abundant in natural ecosystems; not sit dormant. Looking at diabetes alone, there is some reason to believe a diet moderate or high in whole-food carbohydrates (as opposed to sugar, syrups, and flours) is less likely to lead to pre-diabetes and diabetes than an ultra-low-carb, ultra-high-fat diet. Speculative theories to explain away high fasting glucose in keto practitioners (e.g. Shawn Baker, who became diabetic (with testosterone of just 200, very low for someone in 40s) after two months on an all-meat diet) have not overcome ‘fat-crowding’ (where cells become saturated with fat and unable to receive glucose) as a possible cause of diabetes. Going extreme lengths to maximize protection against keto’s risks may or may not mitigate the damage, but is all that really worth it when the healthy moderate-carb diets we are most likely supposed to be eating are an option?
- Regardless of personal political views, people need to step back and take stock of the absurdity of the treatment of Trump by the legal system and the media. Putting aside the question of whether Trump is just playing a willing role as the fall guy for populism (probably more likely a yes than no), the media has been on a pro-Clinton, anti-Trump onslaught for almost three years now that has only intensified since Trump’s win, with 90-95% anti-Trump coverage, following eight years of uninterrupted applause for the warmongering, Constitution-trashing, bank-beholden Obama. Aside from the massive risks that are always present in electronic voting, there are no indications of electoral fraud on Trump’s part: he ran, had close to an order of magnitude more visible grassroots support than Clinton and her abysmal campaign did, and won fair-and-square according to US electoral rules. I have to ask, and I am truly not a fan of large parts of Trump’s way of thinking or politics, but why hasn’t he just been allowed to be President? He hasn’t apparently committed any crimes, there are no publicly known indications of legal wrongdoing. The Cohen ‘plea’ on alleged campaign violations is a non-issue, as Trump was allowed to donate an unlimited amount to his own campaign ‘to influence the election’ (ridiculously framed as some kind of criminal act in media coverage of late; isn’t influencing elections something every patriotic, politically active American is supposed to do?) and the payment might well have pertained not only to the election, though it clearly did in some part. Neither Cohen or Manafort have anything to do with the media’s 26-month obsession of Russian interference. Now the whole thing seems to have devolved to willy nilly investigation and ‘special’ prosecution of all associates of Trump for any and every offense. What happened to its assignment of investigating foreign meddling? As for the impeachment chatter, there must be a grave offense that impeachment aka charging is predicated on; or are we just impeaching people we don’t like now? Whatever Trump means for this country, his opponents are only making it much worse by degrading the ‘optics’ of American law, order, and stability to precisely the level of a banana republic in their quest to bring him down.
- In a recent interview, Joe Rogan claimed (linked) that he can’t interview [slightly deeper cointelpro agent] Alex Jones anymore because his comments on Sandy Hook were ‘irresponsible.’ Sandy Hook was the reason Jones got canned, and it has become the most recent litmus test for fake-alternative voices like Rogan. Sandy Hook cannot be questioned, but what reason do we have to believe that children died? That some parents who bilked donors out of tens of millions of dollars (with tens, perhaps hundreds of millions more in tax largesse going to others, starting with the $50M school rebuild when the average elementary school costs $7M) said very unconvincingly that they lost a child? The reason Sandy Hook is the new third rail is not to protect the parents, but because they don’t want anyone sniffing anywhere near that steaming pile of BS. Here is what happened at Sandy Hook (according to me): the Sandy Hook school was closed no later than 2008 (at which point traffic on its website dropped to zero for four consecutive years). I have been to Newtown, and the school and homes in the area are highly secluded, where no one without business there would stumble onto them. Anti-gun parents in Newtown with links to the shadow government, the majority of whom were not from the area and many of whom have already left, agreed to say they lost a child and act on camera, while producing old photos of their actual children and making up a first name, creating a fake sibling. The 5-to-15-years older real children would look dissimilar enough from their 6-year-old selves to pull it off (though as we know from the Jennifer Hudson Super Bowl performance, many of the ‘dead’ are easily recognizable). The payoff for the parents was millions of dollars each (and that’s just the visible cash), the furthering of their political agenda, and perhaps other benefits or damage control / secret-keeping. That’s the reason why kids from affluent families are wearing clothes 5-15 years out of date, and why most of the male and female parents of the alleged 6-year-olds look age 50+. In spite of the literally hundreds of pieces of evidence establishing this all to be true, Rogan says ‘we can’t know’ and ‘we don’t know’ that no one died, or that the event was engineered in any way. If you’ve actually seen that evidence and have doubts, I’d say it’s an issue of willful ignorance, and in the case of Rogan, paid ignorance. Jones has predictably backed off and now says it was all real. Like everything else on this blog, this is ultimately my opinion, since I make no claim to absolute knowledge. But as much as I know that the sky is blue and water is wet, I know Sandy Hook was a faked tragedy (among dozens of others) where many alleged victims definitely did not die, and almost certainly no one did, and I say shame on the parents for attacking Constitutional rights and getting rich off well meaning Americans. The real irresponsibility? (Very badly) faking events when you are in charge of the world’s most powerful country of 320 million people, and expecting it to end well. Personally I’m done talking about the subject (and mostly have been for several years) from here on out. It was fake, it failed, time to move on. I don’t even care if the perpetrators are arrested, and we know that will never happen anyway; let them keep their dirty millions. The only realistic hope is that observing the utter and repeated failure of the fake events, they’ll cancel any similar lunacy in the future, and we get something that at least looks like sane leadership back.
- One of many interviews (this one with Shooter Jennings, who I met briefly) that reveal Joe Rogan as the agent that he (and Alex Jones, the subject of much of the conversation) is. I listen to Rogan on occasion for his guests, and like Howard Stern, another highly paid shill, he is an entertaining and skilled interviewer, if a card-carrying insider. Celebrities fall into two categories: those who are innocuous, and those who aren’t: opinion shapers, thinkers, artists, spiritual leaders. What people need to realize is that of the latter category, the court jesters and court intellectuals at the top who you are aware of are not just there; they were almost all selected for their positions and elevated there by others. Yes, there is actually an association of some kind, in both senses of the word (an actual organization or organized network, and general fraternization based on some kind of shared allegiance), that actually runs or controls the entertainment and media world (among other arenas), which as TV viewership plummets now includes ‘alternative’ voices like Rogan and his tight coterie of guests, as well as some related sub-spheres in the political media realm. The system Rogan is part of likely regulates itself by some kind of vetting or initiation process, as well as self-policing, where entertainers and ‘luminaries’ know what they can and can’t say if they want to remain where they are. It’s not one or the other – with many taking comfort in belief only in self-policing for money, without organization – and is definitely both.
- Archaeologists explore a rural field in Kansas, and a lost city emerges (“Locals have long scoured fields and river banks for arrowheads . . . then there were those murky tales of a sprawling city on the Great Plains and a chief who drank from a goblet of gold [not that murky; there are countless such descriptions throughout the Americas]. . . A few years ago, Donald Blakeslee began piecing things together [No, hundreds of others across several centuries did that, they are just ignored today; that’s no mark against the admirable Blakeslee, just setting the record straight]. And what he’s found has spurred a rethinking of traditional views on the early settlement of the Midwest . . . Conquistadors are often associated with Mexico, but a thirst for gold drove them into the Midwest as well [and they reached at least as far north and inland as Kentucky and New Jersey, with the Portguese reaching Northeast Canada and New England by the late 15th and early 16th centuries; in other words, they had 300+ years before [truly mass-published] books and newspapers to erase what was there and make up their own version of what happened, and massive mounds were still being looted and flattened or obscured by development in the early 1900s. Even today, the world’s largest pyramid by volume, La Danta at the Mayan El Mirador complex in Guatemala, is robbed of hundreds of artifacts per week by looters who sell to private buyers] . . . In 1601, Juan de Oñate led about 70 conquistadors from the Spanish colony of New Mexico, winning converts for the Catholic Church and extracting tribute for the crown . . . That’s when they were ambushed by 1,500 Escanxaques. The conquistadors battled them with guns and cannons before finally withdrawing back to New Mexico, never to return [1,500 bowmen and swordsmen (Ever seen a macuahuitl? Obsidian is many times sharper than steel) ‘of sturdy build’ and in most early accounts described as taller and more robust than Europeans vs. 70 very inaccurate, three-rounds-a-minute flint muskets in an ambush, where cannon are worthless, and they aren’t slaughtered/captured to a man? Laughable.] . . . Then, relying on descriptions from the conquistadors, he discovered what he believes was the battle site in an upscale neighborhood of Arkansas City . . . McLeod then drove up to the country club, the highest point in the city of roughly 12,500 people. “Lots of artifacts have been taken from here,” McLeod said . . . The early Great Plains had long been imagined [by court academics] as a vast empty space populated by nomadic tribes following buffalo herds. But if Blakeslee is right, at least some of the tribes were urban. They built large towns, raised crops, made fine pottery, processed bison on a massive scale and led a settled existence. There were trade connections all the way to the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan in Mexico [At the time of ‘discovery,’ all of North South and Central America was mapped and connected by roads, and the best areas were densely settled and farmed. Did you know the Aztecs had a multi-level, extensive court system that included commercial law and a merchant arbitration network whose jurisdiction stretched well into the modern-day US? or did you just hear about feathers and decapitations?]. “So this was not some remote place. The people traded and lived in huge communities” [dozens of them in excess of 100,000 people, with some over 200,000, among the largest in the world at that time] Blakeslee said. “Everything we thought we knew [‘what we knew’ = what the establishment propagandized] turns out to be wrong. I think this needs a place in every schoolbook.” It’s been 500 years since most of this went down (and about 150 since the cover-up entered its current form), so why do I bring things like this up? Because they’re interesting, one, and because the keys to the future are likely in the past, and sooner found under the ground or ocean (or being held in secret) than among the stars (by way of the NASA Apollo-hoaxers and alien-encounter-fakers-in-waiting). And the ‘enlightened’ in control have foisted a largely false history onto us (the manufacture of which continues with events like 9/11, Sandy Hook, etc.) – the ‘traditional/conventional views’ – to keep us as far away from them and deep in the dark as possible.)
- 11 year-old hacks election results in under 10 minutes (Several high-level employees of Diebold and other voting machine companies testified over a decade ago that the machines were easily manipulable, countless experts have echoed those assertions, and now this. Something that can be done easily, with a great effect that many powerful people desire, and with no real risk or consequences (since manipulation is very difficult to detect, let alone trace to a culprit) undoubtedly is being done on a mass scale. Restoring vote-count integrity wouldn’t solve the fact that Congress is dominated by one heavily funded crime syndicate masquerading as two political parties, but it would be a big step in the right direction. Note how little the establishment media discusses this threat to democracy, while focusing 90% of its coverage on a piddling (and completely legal) $2 million ‘Russian’ social media campaign.)
- CNN: Trump Rebuilding Military Like Never Before (Even CNN has managed to momentarily disengage from the 21-month Russia circus to publish a one-sentence blurb lauding Trump for backing the ‘bipartisan’ (in other words, establishment-approved) bill to increase military spending by over $100 billion/yr (note that ending world hunger would cost $30 billion/yr, and free public college for all who want it would cost about $70 billion/yr) to ‘rebuild,’ when it is already higher than the rest of the world combined, 10x higher than ‘enemy’ Russia’s budget, and 3x China’s (neither of whom want anything to do with us outside their own backyards; that is, unless one takes the meaning of the ‘Grand Chessboard’ to another, not unlikely level, where those powers themselves are in on the game.)
- NBC: NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Launches on Historic Mission to ‘Touch the Sun’ (Whatever lies beyond, there is no compelling reason to believe NASA’s personnel and spacecraft have ever physically gone higher than around 200 miles and 12,000 miles above Earth’s surface, which for perspective’s sake are about a quarter-inch and a foot off the surface of an NBA basketball, respectively, where the Moon would be at 20 feet (and Mars and the Sun 2,878 and 7,811 feet from the ball, meaning the farce of Mars colonization – the subject of dozens of MSM/propaganda articles in the last month alone – would require man to beat his distance record by 138,000 times) according to estimates. NASA’s ‘Moon’ is Arizona, and its ‘Mars’ is [filtered photos of] Devon Island Canada. We never went to the Moon (for the doubters, see the latest Buzz Aldrin ‘because we didn’t go’ video; not that any more evidence was needed), we haven’t been to Mars, and we’re not touching the Sun anytime soon. Does this mean we know nothing about the cosmos? No, all it necessarily means is that a superpower that has told countless lies small and monumental is seeking to awe its citizens and the world at large by lying some more about its technological power, knowledge, and achievements, something the powerful (for whom NASA is currently an agent) have almost universally done – often with long-term success – since the dawn of history.)
- The inauthenticity of Alex Jones and Infowars aside, I obviously stand against its censorship (aka the euphemism ‘de-platforming’) and that of any other peaceful speech. Paid shadow-government shills must enjoy the same First Amendment rights as the rest of us. While technically within their legal/statutory rights to regulate speech, companies like [NSA subsidiaries] Google and Facebook and [CIA contractor] Amazon lost any of the broader Constitutional rights afforded to private individuals and private enterprises the moment they jumped into bed with government and the intelligence agencies (who likely had a close hand in, if not full control over, their very founding and rise to prominence). Like it always does, whether in nation states or on social media, the tightening censorship will backfire. Either the websites will cease censoring users and be fully open (unlikely, and probably too late), or people will leave them and they’ll become culturally irrelevant backwater zones (already well underway in the case of Facebook). An alternative for the less patient would be to break up these non-market institutions, i.e. abolish them. They’re too big, they’re fascist entities, they should not exist. The replacements that would instantly step in would get the message about what kind of internet the people want. The fleeced stockholders would learn not to invest in corporations that do wrong. Regulating them like public utilities is a bad idea, since neither government or corporations should be in the business of regulating speech. As for the moral and philosophical consistency of break-ups, there are no well earned monopolies on the face of the Earth, and there are no billionaires who don’t kiss the ring; stripping them of wealth and power is just returning stolen goods.
- Linked is an excellent short documentary by James Corbett, ‘Debunking a Century of War Lies,’ which presents incontrovertible, uncontested, buried evidence that EVERY American war for the last 100 and more years – Spanish-American, WWI, WWII, Korea, Cuba (planned, failed), Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria (attempted, failed), to name only a few – has been partially or fully built on and universally started by lies. That doesn’t mean genuine valor wasn’t shown, that intentions by most participants weren’t good, or that all outcomes were worse than if no war had happened. It does mean the public was deceived EVERY time, and that no war was a defensive one, as the public was instructed by the ‘national media’ propaganda machine prior to entry. Thankfully more and more Americans are catching up to the rest of the world and beginning to grasp the toddler-level, ‘he did it!’ concept of false flag stratagems. I’ve been fooled, you’ve been fooled, we’ve pretty much all been fooled. Time for the nation to finally admit it, learn the lesson, apologize to the dozens of countries terrorized, and move forward.
- Ocasio-Cortez strikes out: All endorsed candidates lose Tuesday primaries (Hopefully Ocasio’s (can we just say Ocasio? In the US almost all Hispanic people go by the father’s paternal last name; we are not in Mexico or Spain, and it’s not a divorce situation) universally failed endorsements have sent a message to Progressives that they have zero chance of long-term political advances in our winner-take-all, deeply divided electoral landscape. As staunchly as I supported Ron Paul in 2008 and as strong as my delusions were that he could keep a political foot in the door, I now recognize that libertarians like Progressives have zero chance of doing so, given the current realities of American people and politics. Progressives/Greens and strong sympathizers represent a very small minority of the US populace, perhaps 10% to the libertarians’ 5-10%. The rest are just lukewarm supporters or straight-line-ticket voters who vote for any D candidate, and are not actual Progressives. While I don’t identify as a Progressive or Green, I sympathize with many positions: environmental protection, campaign finance and ballot-counting reform, anti-imperialism, anti-prohibitionism, pro civil liberties, accessible health care and education. With some compromise on environmental issues and health care, these can be the common-ground [mostly low-cost, esp relative to MIC/fake-security waste] cornerstones of a new anti-establishment third party, which could easily defeat the merit-less, message-less, sickeningly unrepresentative two major party establishments/crime syndicates. It’s an anti-imperialist compromise/unity ticket, or a continuation of the century-plus of media-intel stranglehold; those are the real two political choices, not red and blue.)
- ‘Q-Anon,’ like its Anonymous namesake, is just another media-intel op designed to make the many ‘demented’ and ‘deranged’ critical thinkers out there who discern event fakery (as seen in Sandy Hook, Vegas, etc etc) and other establishment lies look crazy, and is in no way a genuine movement. And as almost always in disinfo campaigns, there is much truth to Q-Anon’s claims amidst the ankle-bracelet, 8-D chess ridiculousness. To answer the frequent objection ‘so is everything a conspiracy/fake?,’ no, but most of the stuff selected for the 24/7 movie called The News is. Why would they give any publicity to real opponents? Instead, they manufacture and control their own, and fold them up when appropriate. Any time you see a supposedly oppositional figure elevated to fame by establishment media (which as TV dies now includes many well known Youtubers and podcasters who style themselves as ‘alternative’), recall Lenin’s famous words: “the best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
- Alex Jones has been proven up and down as a counterintelligence agent posing as a conspiracy/’truther’ activist. and the Sandy Hook lawsuit against him is a staged operation to curtail free speech and make skeptics of phony media-intel narratives look bad. As posted before, if you strongly believe people died at the fake Sandy Hook shooting, I encourage you to look at some of the following presentations of evidence that no one did: ‘Sandy Hoax Surprise’ on Vimeo (a banned video that shows that several reportedly dead children sang at the 2013 Super Bowl with Jennifer Hudson; they like rubbing the deception in our faces), the ‘FBI-David Wheeler’ video on Vimeo (banned from Youtube), and the ‘Annie Haddad-Nancy Lanza’ video on Youtube (banned repeatedly, there’s one low-view version still up), both of which show with crystal clarity that actor-participants in the event played not just one but two roles. Also check out CT medical examiner Wayne Carver’s ridiculous, credulity-defying press conference; the 26 Christmas trees that were videotaped by helicopter sitting behind the Sandy Hook firehouse the morning of the non-shooting; the photo-shopped drivers license photo of non-existent shooter Adam Lanza; the total non-activity on the Sandy Hook school website from 2008-2012 (the school had been closed down for years as of December 2012); the badly acted Veronique Pozner-Anderson Cooper interview, and the Emily Parker Foundation, where the entity was formed, had a bank account, and was soliciting donations for unspecified purposes just over an hour after the fake shooting, before Parker’s alleged death was even confirmed; these among hundreds of exhibits. Whatever happens with the lawsuit, the Sandy Hook shooting will remain a faked tragedy meant to undermine Second Amendment rights, and more importantly, the epistemological abilities of the American public. Fortunately it has largely failed in both regards, with little headway made against gun rights and a huge portion of Americans either openly disbelieving the story, or perhaps sensing things don’t smell right, keeping willfully disengaged from the subject altogether.
- Zero Hedge: Millennial Socialism: Stupid, Evil, or Both? (Rather than fall into the left-right trap and dismiss ‘Millennial Socialism’ and democratic socialism as stupid or evil, people should make an attempt to identify why an increasing number of Americans are embracing it. A somewhat prevalent mentality in Europe is that there are basically two choices in the world as it is, not as people desire it to be: big government ‘socialism’ (really a form of centrism), which costs more but stands against or crowds out corporate power and influence, and crony corporatism, which costs less and draws [not necessarily long-term] investment but attempts to hijack the state for its own benefit. Socialist politics there are less a freebie-grab and more a protective shell around society. Ultimately, I think large-scale socialism will fail (though socialism and communism, as well as anarcho-capitalism have worked well enough on a very small scale), but so will large-scale cronyism aka capitalism. Both systems run terribly on the large-national scale and scam the people to an extreme degree. Unfortunately there is not currently intelligent or coherent dialogue on the right on the scams and abuses of crony capitalism (aside from the small libertarian minority), only the left, with most of the right operating under the delusion that the largest banks and corporations are market entities, and that a $1T/yr military/security theater budget is normal and sustainable. What we need is decentralism first, then whatever kind of government the people in a given region prefer, whether a passive, active, or non-existent one. The scale of politics and power is the key factor in its viability, not the type. As a general rule, I would vote for whomever the rare person is who stands for devolving power back to the people, regardless of his or her party affiliation. Our best hope in today’s US is an anti-war, anti-establishment third party that blends libertarian and Progressive ideals in a compromise platform (e.g. Paul or Amash paired with Gabbard), and thus could actually stay in power for some length of time, rather than eek out a one-off partisan victory and get pendulum-swung out of power four years later by the other half of the population who deeply resented their election.)
- Facebook censor Fidji Simo stated this week that “What we’re trying to do is make it so that, if you are saying something that is untrue [for example, calling Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, or Parkland the no-deaths drill hoaxes they were], you’re allowed to say it . . . but we try to make it so that it doesn’t get much distribution.” “Simo said that if a piece of content is flagged by fact-checkers as untrue, Facebook’s algorithms limit distribution so the misinformation doesn’t spread.” Google’s Eric Schmidt stated a few years ago that “we make it so you don’t see it” [when people post ‘untrue’ information]. Just a reminder that much of the internet you are interacting with is not a representation of popular sentiment, but is just the innocuous, the conveniently divisive, and corporate-friendly, with anything conducive to positive systemic change filtered out or restricted. The establishment allows you to see just enough to believe you are operating in a free-speech online environment, and limits the reach of subversive content enough so people think it doesn’t matter on the rare occasion they’re allowed to see it. Yes, Facebook and Youtube are legally private companies (though in reality they’re fascist ‘public-private partnerships’ like banks and many large corporations) and can legally regulate what content they allow. But names and cuddly presentation aside, they and similar platforms aren’t about yours, mine, or ours (Zuckerberg’s dumbf*cks), as they’d like us to believe; they’re about them and the ideas they decide we should see.
- Regardless of what one thinks of Trump, his campaign and election (and the 2-year-long Russia circus that ensued) have brought attention to the apparent separation (which in reality may be non-existent) between or subservience of the elected government and/to the permanent government/deep state/media-intel complex/shadow government and its secret intelligence, secret courts and prisons, secret assassinations, and faked and staged events, which I think the overwhelming majority of Americans would agree does not stand for this country and its people. A former high-level figure of the permanent/real government (John Brennan, who in a recent speech to the CFR called for [already ongoing] stratospheric aerosol injection aka chemtails aka regularly showering Americans with brain-damaging, Alzheimers and Down syndrome promoting aluminum particulates; see the film Skyscratch if you doubt this is true) has recently advocated for hiding intelligence from the democratically elected, not-apparently-criminal/impeachable President (something that might quite easily be called treasonous, a word Brennan loves to throw around), and I think true support for representative and democratic government in the US (as opposed to intel-directed, thinly veiled, selective technocratic-totalitarianism) requires backing his decision/threat to strip security clearances and clean house of any of Brennan’s ilk. The obvious and enormous dangers around both of these paths – on one hand, staying on the roller coaster ride to hell with the Constitution-trashing ‘intelligence community,’ and on the other, its abolition and remaking in the image of Trump (or worse than both, neither being the case and the whole thing being a show in a broader plan to discredit Trump’s populism in an economic downturn) – tell us all we need to know about the long-term viability and desirability of mega-scale [supposedly] representative government; obviously government power has gotten far too centralized and there is too much to gain by controlling the levers. If the people don’t personally know their leaders, and can’t make it to their front doors in a day’s walk and knock on them/them down, things by some time or another aren’t going to end well.
- Vice: Your Phone Is Listening and It’s Not Paranoia (The linked article from Disney/Hearst/Fox-owned, fake-edgy Vice acknowledges smartphones function as eavesdropping devices, then reads “so yes, our phones are listening to us and anything we say around our phones could potentially be used against us. But, according to Peter at least, it’s not something most people should be scared of . . . Because unless you’re a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers . . . It’s not ideal, but I don’t think it poses an immediate threat to most people.” The First Amendment doesn’t exist to protect gossip or sports talk. Whether the exception to Vice’s ‘most’ is you, me, or anyone else really doesn’t matter. Those are the voices that need protecting (protecting = non-monitoring), because all speech that threatens the establishment doing the surveillance and its status quo will obviously fall under the ‘non-most’ label, alongside the profane, bigoted, hateful, and generally unsavory speech that many are quick to ban. And unless you trust the benevolence and incorruptibility of an absolute master over powerless subjects, protecting only most speech will before long not end well. Without steadfast, ever vigilant, and critically minded defense of all of the fundamental rights that supposedly differentiate this country from others (the right to think and speak freely foremost among them; whether or not this is a futile task due to the enormous scale and impersonality of the entity is your call) – alleged threats of terr’ists and ‘active shooters’ neverwithstanding – the flag people salute and display risks moving further towards being a symbol of oppression as the flags of many other polities have in large part been, and 98 or 99 of 100 of our highly paid so-called representatives, re-elected by complacent Americans (that is, if election results are even accurate), consistently fail to stand in the way. Why am I dwelling so much on cell phones? Because without private communication and private association, there will be no freedom, and America as people like to think of it will be no more.)
- It’s my contention that human individuals born in this world have the right to go anywhere they want in it and associate with other individuals however they like (including trading), as long as they do not commit acts of physical aggression or fraud against other individuals. Group formation being requisite to survival, with no instances to the long-term contrary, people also have the right to associate into groups, and act as bona fide, consensual groups. Bona fide groups or communities might include families, tribes, villages, perhaps city-states and small confederations; from there it gets murkier with scale. Herein lies the conflict of two absolute rights: the right to peacefully travel and trade everywhere, and the right to block settlement by foreigners in order to protect group territory. Is the US an organic, democratic entity of for and by the people, a real community, or is it something entirely different? That’s for you to decide. One path around this rights conflict is instituting the right to roam or everyman’s right, honored today in Scandinavia, Baltic countries, some countries of central Europe, Belarus, and maybe others (many more in the past), where property claimants (wrongly not including governments) must allow through-access and at least one night’s camping outside their curtilage (the area including and immediately around the house or establishment, including landscaped yards, etc.) to travelers who choose to temporarily or permanently not participate in a sedentary way of life. Upholding the absolute right to roam with decisions on permanent abode made at the absolute discretion of bona fide, organic communities (again, you’re free to study history and decide whether or how much that applies to the US) is probably the best we’re going to get.
- After 20 long months of the Trump-Russia circus, the media-intel complex aka shadow government aka deep state aka permanent/real government has seamlessly shifted to Trump-Immigration as its primary focus. Not that I support the immigration status quo, but unless I missed it nothing has considerably changed on that front in recent years, let alone months or weeks. The policies, procedures, and practices regarding detention and deportation have been roughly the same for at least 25 years. Obama was just as aggressive as Trump when it came to ICE raids, and deported more people than Trump has. Yes there are some family separations, but that’s been going on for decades, through Clinton, Bush, and Obama (and most of it is voluntary; it’s not at all uncommon for immigrant parents and children to willingly live in separate countries for years or decades, under care of grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc, however alien that might seem to some). If you’re going to comment on or express outrage at the immigration situation, at least acknowledge that it is also an establishment-selected discussion theme: ‘I know that this is all a media-manufactured crisis, but ____.’ Airport and corporate gym CNN contracts aside, do any significant percentage of Americans actually take the completely and utterly scripted news media – the fakest news, much faker than the also very fake Breitbart, Infowars, Tucker Carlson sphere – seriously anymore? How many more fabricated frenzies will it take?
- Putting aside the contrived media outrage over Trump’s immigration actions (where Obama detained-under-same-conditions, separated, and deported more immigrants per year, just as he was worse or more aggressive than Trump on virtually every marker associated with Republicans: on pointless drug war incarcerations, military adventurism and drone warfare, civil liberties violations, etc. etc.), we need to have a more nuanced discussion around the subject. First, there is absolutely no comparison ethical or otherwise between legal immigration of the past and legal immigration today: getting a brief health check, signing a book, and entering legally same-day is not the same as spending $10-15k on lawyers and putting your life in limbo for 5+ years, so zero Americans whose ancestors arrived before say 1970 have even a remote right to indignation on these grounds (not that there’s some moral feather in cap from paying legal fees post-1970 to make one’s life easier and facilitate a right one had anyway). Another important element of the debate is that American domestic policy is far different than it used to be; immigrants of the past had no choice but to bring or learn skills (usually fairly rudimentary ones) and have a support network in order to remain and thrive, where today that pressure is reduced through welfare programs. However, policy notwithstanding, little has changed in actual practice: almost all illegal immigrants still do bring basic but needed skills and work, do in fact pay taxes, and do rely on each other and not the government. From my observation the traits and behaviors ascribed to illegal immigrants – criminality, lack of skill (not that people must demonstrate skill or work hard to win their inherent right to move about the world, to answer a recent Trump talking point), abuse of welfare system, etc. – are I would wager at least as common among legal immigrants and native-born Americans as among illegal immigrants. Even if they weren’t, all three groups have the same human right to live, work, and travel wherever they choose in this world. As for the alleged failure to assimilate, I know from genealogy research that it was very rare for first-generation, non-English-speaking immigrants to fully learn the language and interact much with the broader population, and this typically didn’t happen until the second generation, as is the case today, where second-generation Hispanic, Asian, African immigrants almost invariably have no accent and are fully assimilated, however limited their parents’ progress on that front may or may not have been. All that said, there is clearly an agenda by ‘the left’ to attract illegal immigrants to the country and into the Democratic party fold, and enfranchise them as quickly as possible to build an electoral advantage. Without a fundamental overhaul of domestic policy that neutralizes concerns around the real and/or perceived dangers of unregulated immigration (e.g. long moratorium on illegal-immigrant voting rights, strict limitations on full welfare benefits), tensions around it (that don’t necessarily have anything to do with racism or xenophobia, and are political and economic in nature) will remain unresolved; but unresolved tensions here and abroad is the name of the shadow/permanent government’s game, so I’m not holding my breath for a productive outcome.
- Interesting finding from 2010 regarding endogenous vitamin C production, a highly important but seldom mentioned topic, a passing glance at which may lead us towards a better diet and greater health. All mammals except humans, apes, and guinea pigs produce their own vitamin C in great quantities, and those that don’t require constant intake. A USDA publication sent to pet sellers instructed that “the vitamin C requirement for guinea pigs is 10-15 mg per day under normal conditions and 15-25 mg per day if pregnant, lactating, or growing.” This is not far from the amount the amount the USDA has recommended for humans, which was previously 45mg/day (now 90 mg for men, 75mg women); the problem is that guinea pigs weigh an average of 1.5-2 pounds. Therefore the USDA requires 20x more vitamin C per day for pet rodents (10 mg/lb) than it recommends for its citizens (~0.5mg/lb). This is probably because the foods that the USDA subsidizes (to the tune of about $1,000 per worker per year, which could buy a Northeast US family a 6-month, full season farm share of local, organic vegetables, with a few hundred left over) and directs its citizens towards don’t contain any vitamin C, unlike fruits and vegetables. To get 10mg/lb of vitamin C from food alone, an average-weight man would need to eat about two pounds of leafy greens (including cruciferous greens) per day, or two large salad containers (as primates and the handful of other non-C-endogenous mammals do eat, proportionate to weight, with none of them suffering from atherosclerosis, apparently due to vitamin C’s potent antioxidant effect), depending on intake from the many other sources (berries, non-leafy crucifers, dryable mega-sources like rosehips), which in most of the year in the more habitable latitudes is actually fairly easy to do within a short period of time (as little as a few minutes of picking, and maybe 15 minutes per pound of eating, far less if they’re cooked; aiming for a pound or half-pound each of raw and cooked doesn’t seem unreasonable, especially in light of their natural plenty), just by being able to identify a few ubiquitous wild plants (e.g. dandelion, plantain, clover, nettle, etc.). Colder areas that aren’t as plentiful in leafy greens have limitless vitamin C available in the form of conifer needles (e.g. pine, spruce, fir, others), readily extractable in a tea or from actually eating the edible young needles (e.g. spruce tips), as well as some of the highest-C berries (e.g. crowberry, heavily consumed by traditional Inuit). The small handful of studies on paleolithic human feces have suggested intake around 700mg/day, but there was no indication of time of year, period ecological conditions. etc. (e.g., could have been in winter). While I continue to seek natural sources for vitamin C, there is a good presentation on the role of the vitamin C (in the context of high-dose synthetic supplementation via products like C Salts) called ”High Dose Vitamin C Therapy for Major Diseases” that lays out much evidence for the effectiveness of the compound. It is almost impossible to overdose on vitamin C (LD50: 1,000,000 mg/day), with the sole side effect (general gastrointestinal discomfort) usually not starting until around 8,000% RDA (~7,200 mg), or 4x the apparent actual dietary requirement/optimum. Tip: avoid the chewable/gummy C supplements; expensive, sugar-packed, bad for teeth.
- Since I’ve cited some leading vegan and quasi-vegan advocates below, I’d like to clarify my moral and nutrtitional position on veganism. I believe all people have the inalienable right to pursue a path of natural, non-agricultural nutrition – from living within nature instead of apart from it – which in almost all ecosystems would require the regular procurement (hunting/fishing) and consumption of animal foods, however high in plant foods those diets might also be. That is to the best of my knowledge the way all indigenous peoples have eaten; there have been as far as I know no indigenous people who have gone vegan (and as noted, none who have gone keto either, since Inuit adapted away from it), and I think that’s likely for a reason. In circumstances where governments have occupied, fenced off, and taxed all habitable land (i.e. the way things are now), I believe people are not wrong to resort to a proxy for that wild diet in the form of agriculture and animal domestication, as unsavory and abhorrent as the practices in both (e.g. for plants, giving untold millions cancer by dousing grain and other fields with known poisons) can sometimes be. That doesn’t mean I support factory farming or any other abuses of the animal prior to its killing (I myself buy what are apparently least-harm animal products, but this isn’t possible for everyone. If you want to give the banks total control of the economy and bleed out $1T/yr on war/fake security-related waste, don’t complain when lowest-income people don’t have enough dollars to avoid factory farming). There are all kinds of harm and sub-optimal scenarios caused by participation in an industrial, high-tech civilization, and animal domestication is only one, albeit a big one. Nutritionally, I’m open to the idea that a vegan diet plus supplementation could be long-term successful on an individual level if practiced judiciously and consistently. I personally feel better when I consume at least a small amount of animal foods, particularly fish and ruminant meats e.g. beef/lamb/goat/venison (though in fairness, I’ve never tried a vegan diet plus what would seem to be full supplementation; if I ever did, it would probably be a high-fat, high-vegetable version). Maybe it’s the small amount of dietary, oxidation-mitigated cholesterol, the preformed long-chain DHA, choline, easily absorped zinc, iron, and other minerals, natural creatine, natural B12; maybe it’s even placebo (very doubtful); I don’t know. There is much more going on with physiology and nutrition than I understand and will ever fully understand, but I think the current evidence (historical, scientific, anecdotal/observational) supports a diet extremely high in vegetables, high in fruit and nuts, perhaps with some legumes, and at least occasional animal foods (some high-quality, considered form of them daily/semi-daily).
- If I had to point to one nutritional ‘expert’ who is the most sensible and least likely to get you into trouble (who I still disagree with on a few points, e.g. somewhat excessive avoidance of animal foods) (link to very flexible dietary pyramid on website, which is misrepresented elsewhere online), it would be Joel Fuhrman, promoter of the ‘nutritarian diet,’ which focuses on foods that offer the best balance of maximum nutrient density i.e. nutrients per calorie (with the aim of getting ample amounts of all vitamins and minerals from food sources only) and minimal harm. I came across Fuhrman recently and his beliefs/suggestions mirror most of my own on diet, where he calls for: 1) large majority calorically from plants, minority animal 2) relatively high in healthy plant fats esp nuts and seeds 3) very high in leafy greens, crucifers, alliums, and mushrooms/fungi, with vegetables eaten both cooked and raw 4) high in berries and polyphenol-rich fruits, and generally open to fruit 5) little or no grains (and little/no dairy), and limited starches 6) some legumes are OK/good, but very well cooked and in separate meals (e.g. a bean and vegetable soup, hummus with vegetables). If you want a a single source and would prefer to watch and listen instead of read, he would be a good place to start.
- Nice little whole-food snack, especially for hot days: take a medium chilled avocado, cut in half and peel, and fill with chilled, raw diced tomatoes (any kind; I like Campari / cocktail) and raw diced onions (or stack with sliced like open-faced sandwich). Flavors meld very well together, taking the bite off the onion, spicing up the avocado, and adding a touch of sweetness from the tomato. No salt or oil necessary. I’ve had the sense recently that meals heavy in one macronutrient – namely fats or carbohydrates/sugar – should not contain much of the other (which this recipe doesn’t, being relatively low in sugars and carbs). Previously I had only applied this to combining animal fats and cholesterols with processed grains and sugars, but think it may apply to some degree to all fats and carbs, plant and animal, processed or not. The reason is because I think the body may have trouble digesting both at the same time, with fat interfering with insulin function, potentially causing bouts of high and longer-extended blood glucose, which can lead to diabetes and organ/cardiovascular damage after a long period of time. This would not mean ‘fat causes diabetes’ or that sugar does, It means that consuming large amounts of both at the same time (via the classic hamburger/potato chips and soda, for a particularly bad example) taxes the pancreas by heightening insulin output, eventually leading to diabetes. This would also explain diabetes risk in obese people with a high body fat percentage (which seems to be an experimentally controlled risk factor, beyond just the coincident factor of poor diet), since large amounts of cells of stored fat keep this problem in effect all the time (with sugar being blocked from entering the stored-fat cells and becoming trapped in the bloodstream), to the extent of the obesity. The solutions would be to A) space these meals out to allow for digestion. Some fruit now, nuts a couple hours later, instead of a massive fruit and nut bowl (OK combined in small quantities) B) in balanced ‘main meals’ that contain a considerable amount of fat, do not include very large amounts of carbohydrates C) as a means of controlling carbohydrate and glycemic load, not consuming more than one type of carbohydrate per meal (e.g. starchy tubers only, legumes only, fruit only; not combined with each other. (Of course the fourth option is not giving a crap sometimes or always and eating it anyway, but this is a discussion about health.) I think this is the reason why very-high carb eaters claim to have success by minimizing fat and protein (to a combined 20% of the diet), and why extreme low-carb diets such as keto have surfaced, to prevent this apparent fat-carbohydrate conflict. I’m sure many people out there have made this connection, but haven’t seen it fully spelled out, mostly just one side bashing the other, when both have been to an extent onto something.
- I was a fan of Anthony Bourdain and his shows. I’m not going to say anything about his death or his inner state, because I don’t know anything about either. He’s apparently dead from what is being reported as an apparent suicide, and among high-profile (and sometimes low-profile) apparent suicides, some are that, some aren’t. That’s really all there is at this point. For all his establishment affiliations, CNN and otherwise, he told what must be one of the most important truths, one that any fairly widely traveled person knows, and the more so the more they travel: that people everywhere – everywhere – are basically good, normal/relatable, and trustworthy, who want to go home to their loved ones at night and get up the next morning. Considerable familiarity with the other – whether it’s foreigners, Russians, North Koreans, blacks, whites, gays, men, women, city people, country people, immigrants, native-born, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc. – generally makes this clear enough, and makes demonization and deep hatred of the given group impossible among the familiar. Everywhere there are also bad exceptions (of individuals, and maybe a handful of excepted groups), but they’re always a small minority, as in very low single digits, if not below that, and even then, not absolutely and irredeemably so in almost all cases. War and oppressive government depend on perpetuating the irrational, uninformed fear of one’s neighbor. Ever notice how 8 or 9 out of 10 shows on network TV seem to be about crime, atrocities, and the worst people? Maybe it’s interesting to people and they just like it; or maybe it’s put there on purpose, to amplify the bad and drown out the good, and paint a false picture. Appreciation to Bourdain for debunking this lie and shining a light on the world as it really is.
- Bilderberg decries ‘post-truth world’ (There aren’t many things more perplexing and pathetic than the outrage over ‘fake news’ by both the establishment left and right – which includes people like John Oliver, Cenk Uyghur, Colbert (who has lost his edge in recent years), and others – and the notion that only since Trump have we lost reliable ‘national media’ and ‘fact-checking;’ I’m convinced no segment/attitude will be mocked more scornfully by future historians; far more than even the uncritical ‘Trumptards’ (i.e. the unconditional fans of Trump for whom he can do no wrong). For all Trump’s past and present flaws, many of his campaign-time, rarely-heard-on-TV mantras were correct, which is the one and only reason why he was elected: that we have for untold decades been and are still ruled/harangued by a shadow government that produces a 24/7 ‘fake news’ onslaught (essentially a never-ending, write-as-they-go movie) known by decreasing numbers of people as reality. The ‘post-truth world’ has been in effect for the better part of a century, if not since the beginning of this country and long before. As one commentator described recently, perhaps better than post-truth, the US (along with other nations) has become a ‘truth-optional’ society. What we do increasingly have since Trump and a few years before him is the revelation (not creation) of ‘truth pluralism;’ with the establishment’s monolithic ‘messaging’ (see Brzezinski) now tuned out by a large chunk, maybe even majority, of the population, a variety of claimed truths are being heard, some genuinely voiced, some not, some ridiculous, some accurate. It’s your job and no one else’s to sift through them and figure it out. The idea that power-corrupted [mega-scale] corporations and [“] governments would be trusted with this task is laughable.)
- Another recent video from the same channel (Greger’s nutritionfacts.org) on oxidized cholesterol, one of the most overlooked food risks which is far more harmful than endogenous and otherwise un-oxidized cholesterol. Some of the main takeaways, assuming the information is accurate: A) non-baked bacon (and esp all forms of reheated bacon, even if originally baked) is an oxidized cholesterol disaster B) Likewise for powdered fats (egg, milk powder, which is present in non-full-fat dairy, etc.) C) Likewise for ghee (boiled butter), with the method increasing already high oxidation by tenfold, explaining high atherosclerosis among mostly vegetarian Indian populations D) Microwaving meats is bad, and contributes strongly to oxidation (more than double of frying) E) Ground meat may be a risk compared to whole cuts due to considerably increased exposure to air F) Cooking in fat renderings markedly increases OC content G) Freezing meats increases oxidation H) Chicken has higher oxidation than any other major meat, and white meat (including fish) has higher oxidation than dark, though dark has higher cholesterol so it may be a wash in that department I) Raw, full-fat dairy contains much less but still around 50% as much oxidized fat and cholesterol as pasteurized J) Fresh eggs without hard-cooked yolks have relatively very low oxidation levels (with hard-boiling likely increasing them markedly) K) Probably the brightest point, consuming antioxidants with meats has been shown to greatly reduce oxidation. Adding cherries to ground beef reduced cholesterol oxidation by 70-80% (indigenous Americans traditionally would rub dried and powdered blueberries into meat for flavor and tenderization, and maybe this purpose). Onions and garlic also substantially reduced oxidation (by ~50%) except in chicken, as well as herbs (rosemary, oregano, sage, and others) and presumably other antioxidant vegetables would replicate this effect. I list these points not to regurgitate the video’s content, but because they resonate with hunches and knowledge I already had, and were just further confirmed in some cases. Obviously eliminating all these risk factors is practically impossible, and I don’t think animal foods are a net-bad situation (especially when considering things like the significantly lower disease incidence and higher longevity of pesco-vegetarians compared to vegans, and my personal experience of having no apparent CV risk factors while consuming meat/poultry/fish daily, but also while taking many protective measures) as long as the worst culprits are avoided and at least some mitigating measures are taken. Sauteeing, baking, or grilling fresh, whole-cut animal foods and consuming with copious amounts of antioxidant vegetables would appear to be the ideal route, when possible. While I always prefer a natural route I’d have to wonder if adding synthetic vitamin C (one of the most potent antioxidants) to meat would help, since the overwhelming majority of mammals including all carnivores produce their own vitamin C internally (equal to around 14,000% RDA) and have zero atherosclerosis. So the main question for most would be this: surely no oxidation would be ideal, but assuming one believes animal foods offer unique benefits and are appropriate in a diet (which I do), if oxidation can be reduced 80-90% or more by eating a high-antioxidant diet, eating animal foods with antioxidants, moderating dietary cholesterol somewhat, and minimizing oxidation in storage and cooking, is this enough to eliminate animal foods as a serious heart disease mortality-risk factor? It seems that it is, absent significant genetic predisposition, and any buildup that one may have from past behavior can be reversed now or later by changing one’s dietary choices. Unfortunately it is unlikely any studies will replicate the myriad calculations and measures needed to minimize cholesterol harm.
- Enough on carb counting; now to the easy task of debunking broader macro dieting, as well as simplistic calorie counting as with Weight Watchers, etc. This video from today (source of which I don’t agree with on a few points, but which seems to be a fountain of useful info) undercuts the common claim that ‘calories are calories’ ‘fat is fat’ ‘sugar is sugar’ and so on. A study showed that simply ingesting walnuts along with salami and cheese not only canceled diminished artery function from the (probably processed, otherwise heavily offending) animal fats, it actually produced a large net-positive improvement above baseline, with function reduced when salami and cheese were eaten alone. Additionally, a comparison of two 4,000-calorie meals of avocados and ice cream, respectively, demonstrated zero oxidative stress from avocados, and large amounts from (pasteurized) dairy fats. When it comes to food, people should trust nature, not manmade products and theories, and they won’t have to worry about the overwhelming likelihood of being proven wrong after decades of health damage. If you think you can beat whole, ‘real’ foods, to say you are fighting an uphill battle could not be more an understatement.
- To circle back after the long-winded keto commentary, the following are great daily-diet building blocks for most people: A) a variety of fresh vegetables including *raw leafy greens, as well as alliums, and crucifers* B) a variety of fresh fruit including *polyphenol-rich fruits* and citrus fruits C) a variety of non-oil-roasted seeds and *nuts including walnuts* D) low-mercury seafood in moderation including *oily fish,* with high-quality, unprocessed meats in somewhat greater moderation; plus things like moderate red wine/alcohol, ‘superfoods’ like dark chocolate on occasion, olive oil when refined fats are needed, etc. Putting aside the noise and constant contradictory findings and advice, these are things I think pretty much everyone in this part of the world has pretty much believed for several decades (or longer) are healthy, and I believe they still are; the basic elements are and have been fairly simple, however much people ‘don’t know what to believe,’ ‘who to trust,’ etc. Everyone will put his or her own spin on diet, but (for most people) if you eat from the above food categories and avoid processed foods, GMOs, pharmaceuticals when unnecessary, pesticides, sugar, flours, most oils, and excess dairy, eventually you will also die, but I’m confident you’ll minimize health problems along the way.
- Expanding on the Sisson comment below, here is another high-profile keto advocate Eric Berg (who I have noted makes mostly valid points, while also censoring keto-critical comments on his channel) falsely claiming that ketones are ‘the original fuel.’ As noted, it would be almost impossible (and exceedingly unlikely, whenever it weren’t) to frequently go keto in the wild, and any ultra-low-carb diet would be extremely high in animal protein (which is a no-no among keto practitioners, for good reason). Inuit people, who had and have relatively poor longevity, adapted AGAINST keto, probably through some genetic enhancement of protein-to-sugar conversion, and were never in ketosis (any discussion of Inuit must also note the consumption of rare, boreal mega-antioxidants like crowberry and whortleberry. The keto diet was invented in the 1920s for especially stubborn cases of epilepsy (untreatable by medication) among institutionalized mental cases. What’s next, voluntary electroshock therapy? How long before ‘Bulletproof’ Dave Asprey and other ‘biohackers’ are promoting that on Joe Rogan’s show (if they haven’t already)? Nothing at all against health experimentation, but it can go overboard and more easily so when a business is made out of it (especially one that can never lull or slow down). Absolutely nothing wrong with the health industry either; I’ve dabbled in it myself; but conflicts between truth and money can arise in some sectors of it, particularly in the field of ‘movement-based’ health media, where the movements often become another kind. As for Berg’s claims of mental enhancement, I have to wonder why no eccentric, cerebral figures historically (prone to experimentation) would have claimed this also, or just supposed or mused on it. A kind of sharpened focus, maybe (the kind a starving person a few days from death might need to find food). But just as ECA can result in fat loss (as can keto) and steroids muscle gain, cocaine has also been known to improve focus in some; that doesn’t mean any of them are advisable routes.
- Anyone familiar with the Paleo diet (which I’ve loosely followed a version of for 10+ years) knows that the word ‘primal’ has come to be synonymous with it. The main selling point of the diet was that it (supposedly) mirrored what was available to our earlier ancestors in the wild and what they chose to eat. This is a compelling basis for designing a diet and a must-consider in almost any choice, dietary or otherwise, with of course some room for change and improvement. Unfortunately ‘pop paleo’ (i.e. marketed paleo) in practice has almost never been in the spirit of a real paleo diet. Foods like bacon (a small [nitrite-laced] portion of a domesticated pig’s underside; not primal), cheese (“), butter (“), cream (“), oil (“) (I do eat olive oil), and unreasonable quantities of eggs (where wild eggs would be somewhat a rare find, and usually smaller than a chicken’s) have somehow attained ‘primal’ credentials. Paleo marketers like Mark Sisson (whose ‘primal’ cookbooks call for enormous amounts of non-primal butter in many recipes, heated at very high temperatures) have strayed into unrecognizable territory, with Sisson recently claiming in an interview that primal now means not early-ancestral but ‘live awesome’ (2:15; click for video), an about-face from a decade or two of blog posts and books appealing to the likely decisions of an imaginary caveman, Grok. I’ve done a relatively large amount of study into hunter-gatherer diets and the seasonal availability of wild food sources (the real Groks) and there are almost always a few staple complex carbohydrates in play (e.g. sweet potatoes, chestnuts, acorns, various roots) and significant amounts of wild fruit, thus in any kind of a competitive scenario (without unlimited hunting and foraging ranges) it would be difficult to ‘achieve’ ketosis frequently (if it were even desired), and it would be far higher protein than keto practitioners would like, and thus probably not even keto due to protein-to-sugar conversion. Going beyond humans, if you look at the diet of a black bear, whose digestive capabilities and foraging reach are about the same as man’s, and which inhabits areas friendly to human habitation, its 20,000-calorie daily haul (achieved at a slow walking pace, comparable to the patterns a small tribe of humans might follow, but greatly enhanced by digging strength, efficiency/endurance, and sense of smell) consists of a large variety of foods made up of about 50% carbohydrates, 35% fat, and 15% protein, which would demonstrate the average daily macronutritional profile of wild foods available in a reasonable range; not that I necessarily emulate that macro profile, but it shows what is out there, and how far it is from the typical 80C-10P-10F vegan and 80F-14P-6C keto breakdowns (though a higher fat and protein vegan diet is certainly possible). I strongly doubt paleolithic humans would ignore half of all available calories to avoid ‘getting kicked out of ketosis.’ Paleo and primal don’t mean live awesome, they mean old and of or relating to the first, respectively; keto is not primal, and much paleo is not primal. If people want to proceed solely on their own judgment and/or the advice of contemporary individuals, that’s fine – maybe they are on the cutting edge, maybe not; guessing not – but don’t falsely invoke paleolithic or indigenous peoples or the collective wisdom of our ancestors. And for anyone who attempts real paleo (which I haven’t managed to do so far), you’ll probably have positive results.
- I don’t like to discuss my personal health statistics, but for at least ten years I’ve eaten a relatively high-fat, relatively low-carbohydrate diet (which I’d best characterize as a usually grainless and refined-sugarless, very low dairy, mostly ‘Paleo-compliant’ Mediterranean/American fusion of sorts), with most fat coming from non-oil-roasted nuts and seeds, but also some from seafood (esp low-mercury oily fish) and meat including (grass-fed) red meat a couple/few times a week (though not in huge portions, and always with antioxidant vegetables and fiber). My average blood pressure is 110/70, average cholesterol 140-145 with HDL-LDL around 0.75:1, and triglycerides around 50, which is close to as low-risk as possible for a sedentary adult. There are hunter-gatherers who averaged in the 110-130 range, and some vegans are also in that area, with vegans averaging around 150 cholesterol, 80 triglycerides. I’m saying this to show that I don’t advocate for a low-fat diet, and that a long-term high-fat diet containing animal foods need not be bad for cardiovascular health, if approached in a sensible and moderate fashion (not moderate: melting a stick of butter in boiling coffee every morning, as Dave Asprey recommends). But in the keto and Paleo communities (which have suddenly become near-interchangeable) there is increasingly talk that cholesterol in the mid-200s is normal, and that ratios of 4 LDL: 1 HDL are normal, even ideal. Anyone who points out this goalpost-shifting is censored by the high-profile keto advocates, e.g. Eric Berg and Tristan Haggard aka ‘Primal Edge Health,’ who delete all (civil) comments not in support of keto (which is always a major red flag that there’s something wrong or unsound here). This is not the case; cholesterol should ideally be under 200, and HDL/LDL ratio between 0.5 and 1. If your cholesterol is much higher you probably have aggravating dietary factors and/or genetic predisposition to high cholesterol.
- There is a notion floating around the keto and paleo communities (possibly originated by Eric Berg, who I think makes mostly valid suggestions apart from a few major points I disagree on) that because the liver produces cholesterol (between 1,000-2,000 mg per day, or about 6-12 eggs’ worth), additional dietary cholesterol is unlikely to be harmful, and that however much cholesterol is consumed, endogenous cholesterol will decrease by that amount. While this theory of self-regulation might make some sense on its face since it is common in human physiology, there are a few problems with it: A) No evidence I’ve seen suggests that it’s true with respect to cholesterol in humans. Studies in primates indicate that extreme consumption (an amount higher than endogenous production i.e. more than 12 eggs per day, a ridiculous amount) can cause a liver shut-off, but otherwise production stays on. B) It doesn’t distinguish between unoxidized and oxidized cholesterol, with the latter almost definitely resulting in plaque formation in humans and the former almost definitely not, and with endogenous cholesterol presumably having very low oxidation due to non-exposure to chief oxidizing factors of air and high heat C) Just because the body produces cholesterol doesn’t mean excess cholesterol is not bad. Your car takes 5 quarts of oil, but 7 will in time destroy the engine. This is part of a broader, evolving notion in these movements that dietary cholesterol consumption is a non-factor in health (which has made selling tasty bacon and butter-centered recipes a lot easier). First it was that blood cholesterol is not actually rising in people eating huge amounts of dietary. Then when blood cholesterol rose, the goal posts were moved and cholesterols of 250++ (compared to the actual norm/optimum of <200 and 130-160 or so) were called normal, and people started differentiating between the size and shape of the molecules. Now it seems to be that blood cholesterol is admittedly higher in instances of long-term hyper-consumption and may eventually contribute to a heart attack, but it's worth it in light of whatever benefits it brings (which in most of the most vocal proponents has been a crash-diet return to normal weight from a state of morbid obesity; 'keto works. I went from 300 lbs to 150 lbs in one year' 'keto works, I was an out-of-control diabetic and now I don't need insulin' Yes, it works if you need to burn off dozens of pounds of body fat, or if you have zero tolerance for carbohydrates due to decades of excess carbs), is 'the way to go out,' and/or is a condition somehow normal and ancestral (when a wild, omnivorous diet would not be so high in cholesterol). I don't shy away from dietary cholesterol and think some is OK, but I keep it in moderation, and try to always consume it with high-antioxidant, low/no-sugar foods. These rationalizations tie into the main problem with what I believe to be extreme diets like keto and veganism: that by rejecting huge portions of the natural cornucopia, they make the three indispensable requirements for health of moderation, caloric sufficiency, and [whole-food-based] micro-nutritional sufficiency (not just vitamins and minerals, but an array of known and unknown polyphenols, enzymes, and other phytochemicals) difficult and likely impossible to achieve.
- Alongside my critique of ketogenic/Atkins diets I should note that (it appears that) the single most powerful change I have made has been to completely cut out all refined sugars (including juices, which lack fiber) and refined carbohydrates. My blood panels were never bad, but immediately improved considerably in every major respect (blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, among other items) after minimizing grains and sugar about 10 years ago, specifically after minimizing/near-eliminating wheat (I don’t have celiac disease), and I don’t believe it to be a coincidence. Most weeks I eat zero added sugar, and most of the last ten years I haven’t eaten any refined carbs (flour, rice, or really any grains, aside from occasional beer; when I have it was small amounts of non-glyphosate oats or rice in meals with meat and a lot of vegetables), except on special occasions. It isn’t at all hard to cut out all added sugars, flours, syrups, etc. if you just start eating whole foods instead of packaged foods, and drink water instead of juice or soda. At that point you almost have to go out of your way to eat sugar. So while I think ultra-high-fat/ultra-low-carb diets are problematic (to name a few reasons: risk of fat-induced insulin resistance, excess oxidized fat and cholesterol consumption, poor very-long-term health outcomes, and perhaps above all, total lack of analog with wild and traditional diets), all carbohydrates are not remotely equal. Yes, they all turn to glucose, but so do all proteins and fats.
- Interesting video by ‘Mic the Vegan’ (a partisan, non-objective commentator whom I disagree with on many points) on casomorphine (a morphine derivative of casein aka milk protein) and the addictive qualities of cheese. I eat cheese on occasion (non-pasteurized when possible), and I eat and drink virtually everything once in a while; I enjoy my birthday cake, and a hot dog and cheeseburger at a cookout. But in my daily diet I don’t eat much dairy including cheese because A) the thought of consuming another animal’s milk (meant for non-adult non-humans), particularly in great quantities, has come to strike me as odd B) almost all dairy is pasteurized, which greatly increases the oxidation and thus heart-harm of its fat and cholesterol, and I suspect homogenization is also harmful. It’s curious that pretty much all the US American staples many of us grew up on – wheat/white bread and breakfast cereal (glyphosate, unnatural gluten levels, gliadin opiates), pasteurized cheese and milk (oxidized fats/cholesterol, dairy opiates), peanut butter (hydrogenated oils, HFCS; peanut fats also uniquely cause atherosclerosis), jelly (HFCS or tons of sugar), tuna (BPA, highest mercury, former rough/trash/reject fish, mayo (GMO soy), lunchmeat, hot dogs, store-bought bacon (atherogenic and carcinogenic), soda (HFCS, “), and their many combinations, are in their most common brands/forms a good deal poison as well as food, but then most of these arose not from grassroots culture but from 20th-century marketing campaigns. Again, I enjoy these things on occasion and humans can adapt to many kinds of foods, but they’re not healthy and cause disease, period (not that many haven’t long been aware of this). Thankfully, diet is one area a big portion of the population is actually taking steps to clean up and improve.
- This is a good talk on nutrition from 2003 by now famous vegan Michael Greger. His presentation style is not for everyone, but there are a lot of valuable points made. While I’m not a vegan and never have been, I think it’s important to hear out and keep somewhat in tune with all voices in this and most other arguments, since they tend to all be right in at least a few respects. The talk is meant to promote veganism and ‘plant-based’ diets, but I think proves the point that (assuming one isn’t attempting to rely on synthetic supplements) a nutrient-dense, balanced, omnivorous diet – containing large amounts of unprocessed (ideally wild) whole plant foods, especially vegetables but other plant foods also, and moderate amounts of unprocessed (ideally wild, or closest possible) animal foods, especially fish – is probably the best one. Greger’s recommended ‘Daily Dozen’ diet is fairly reasonable compared with other vegan approaches (all greens, all fruit, almost all grains, etc.) but would be better to include some low-mercury fish, at least small amounts of meat, less grains, perhaps a little less legumes, and slightly to moderately higher amounts of plant fats. My stance on grains and legumes is the following: A) legumes don’t appear to offer anything unique (other than a handy source of low-GI carbs and soluble fiber) but are associated with low mortality, probably because they are not bad and by taking up calories, prevent people from eating bad things, or eating excesses of otherwise non-bad things, and help in the digestive process. Legumes contain phytates but their impact on micronutrient absorption has been overstated somewhat, and it seems possible phytates may have some health benefits. B) Grains don’t appear to offer anything unique, and are associated with average or high mortality, probably because they are usually processed wheat which is linked to a host of health problems, including diabetes and thus heart disease and cancer, and poor gastrointestinal health. Low-glycemic (or higher glycemic eaten in low GL meals), glyphosate-free, low/no-gluten grains [i.e. grains not bred for super-high gluten i.e. everything except modern wheat]) could probably be interchanged for legumes in the above role, as an excess-preventing, macro-nutritionally acceptable (due to high fiber and low GI) filler of little/less harm (unlike the carbohydrates most often consumed of wheat and processed sugars).
- I don’t believe there’s necessarily a right or wrong answer when it comes to diet. Different people function differently on different foods, at different weight levels, etc, and have different lifestyles and life goals (there are definitely wrong answers in terms of medical health; but people have led good lives and done great things on what I would call terrible diets, and on near-perfect diets; so as much importance as I ascribe to diet in health outcomes (i.e. that no other factor bears more on them), including mental health in some cases, neither diet or biological health are everything to me in a finite corporal existence. What I do believe is the conversation about diet should always be honest and open, with positions subject to change based on new information, and not involve lies, omissions, and exaggerations to self or others. I previously equated the low carbohydrate diet and accompanying state of ketosis as a state of near-starvation, the ketogenic diet as a simulation of that state, and described the claims of increased focus and productivity as a possible ‘desperation edge.’ There are a couple other potential ways to look at ketosis, and starvation may or may not have been an unfair characterization. In the wild, a small group of hunter gatherers in a low population-density or nomadic context could certainly survive for many years or decades by eating only meat, seafood, and leafy greens (assuming they intentionally passed over the carbohydrate foods around them for whatever reason), which would supply enough micro-nutrition to avoid deficiencies and would qualify as a ketogenic diet. However, hunter gatherers did not live long lives by modern standards, and may have aged (and lived) much faster than modern populations. They also didn’t have modern medicine, but medicine (to the extent it helps rather than harms) might not have been enough. I’m young, but I have learned that life in this realm is full of trade-offs, pros and cons (but talking about cons doesn’t excite people, get clicks, or sell books or products, hence the shortage of nuanced discussion and abundance of all-or-nothing sales pitches). You may get exactly what you want from a ketogenic diet; ketosis may have provided a long-term or short-term/seasonal boost that helped early humans pull through hard times and, for better or worse, eventually produce a surplus and invent ‘civilization’ (or it may just be a fad that has no roots in history), and if that’s what it is, some may find it desirable to tap into that state of being. But if your goals and desires also involve living to a certain age (and if they don’t, nothing necessarily wrong with that), the evidence suggests you will likely be disappointed, to put it bluntly; there is reason to believe the enhancement as it may or may not be comes at a cost. Again though, longevity is by no means the be all end all, and no one cheats death, so to each his own.
- Continuing on nutrition, ‘Keto’ vs. ‘Plant-Based’ is being increasingly weaponized by the media as a divide and conquer tactic. You’ll hear phrases like ‘no matter which side you’re on’ (as if there are only two) or ‘whether you’re animal or plant-based’ (as if a diet must be ‘based’ in one or the other, in a world proliferated by both). I’ve critiqued keto/Atkins, but to touch on some of the major problems with ‘whole-food plant-based’ aka veganism (particularly, as it is presented by mass media including promoted Youtube personalities): 1) All plants are treated equally. GMO soy and corn and glyphosate-soaked, ultra-high-gluten-strain ‘whole wheat’ are no different than uncontaminated fruits and vegetables. 2) High-profile vegan proponents (Youtubers, etc.) regularly lie about veganism’s benefits, and evidence not in harmony with their agenda (nutritional, social, etc.) is pushed aside. For example, while extolling vegan longevity, these commentators won’t mention that pesco-vegetarians both anecdotally and in the literature have higher longevity and lower disease incidence than full vegans, which invalidates the fundamental vegan nutritional thesis (plants provide everything needed; animal fat and cholesterol are always bad, avoid them completely for optimal health); of course there is a moral justification, but this too generally overlooks broader questions and implications of civilizational mode and population size (treating them as givens in their moral judgment matrix, when they aren’t), effects of habitat destruction, etc. Paleo and keto proponents also lie, and won’t tell you things like lean body composition has little to do directly with health; both movements are rife with partisanship and dogmatism. 3) Veganism is the establishment’s diet for the masses. They want a dramatically smaller (in number), servile population mostly herded into tiny apartments and debilitated by cheaply produced, pesticide-laden, genetically modified food. 4) The FDA, major medical associations, and medical-research university system, the sources (via funding, credentialing, etc.) of most studies proudly cited by many vegan advocates, have lost all ability to be believed and trusted. These are the institutions who for decades have insisted and continue to insist that gene-tweaking and pesticide-dousing of ‘plant’ foods are perfectly safe, and who apply the stale label of conspiracy theorist to detractors, as disease incidence skyrockets. Well earned distrust in them has led to an over-reaction in the opposite direction, in the form of keto. I say forget the ‘sides’ and their approaches. The best diet might be called Whole Food Moderation and would include a variety of both plant and animal foods (from land and sea). If you eat a diet entirely made up of macro- and micro-nutritionally variegated whole foods, it would be hard to go very wrong. Dairy, oils, juices, crackers, bars, extracts, and flours – even if they only have one ingredient or identifiable ingredients – are not whole foods (do I eat them on occasion? sure); neither are pesticides, gene-modified plants, or other poisons. Plants are more readily available than animals, so the diet in calories or volume might be heavily in favor of plants, but does not involve the rash and very likely ill-advised step of rejecting either of these ubiquitous, consumed-for-eons food categories, or any of the three ubiquitous, consumed-for-eons macronutrient groups (not to say they must always be eaten together).
- Sante Fe TX: by all appearances so far, a hoax, ‘mass casualty’ drill cast as reality, steaming pile of actor-staged bull. Like the fake Parkland shooting, Vegas, and the dozens of others in the US and NATO countries. The doctor’s interview linked here sounds more like an awards show speech than testimony of a massacre, typical of past events. Moving on. (Yet again, if I’m ever wrong on this, my deepest condolences. But so far the other calls have all been right: Parkland was BS, Vegas was BS, Orlando was BS; all the high-profile media-featured shootings have been pre-planned, death-free, 100% BS events.)
- To mix it up from the usual commentary, some thoughts on nutrition. I know a few people who have looked into and experimented with the ketogenic or ultra-low-carb diet. Here are my thoughts for and against it. Against: A) No known group of high-longevity people has adopted a ketogenic diet (which suggests it does not work for longevity and disease avoidance), while groups who have (e.g. Eskimos) have had low or at best medium longevity, with most death from heart attack and stroke. There are no other ecosystems in the world where anywhere near 80% of average daily calories would come from fat (the typical keto macro profile) B) High-profile proponents of very-low-carb diets seem to have average or low lifespan, usually due to heart-related mortality C) In most parts of the world, eating the wild diet that is available would probably not enable frequent ketosis (since it would and has contained low and moderate amounts of low/medium-glycemic starches e.g. chestnuts, acorns, tubers and roots etc., occasional whole syrups, and low to moderate amounts of wild legumes, as well as sugary fruits in the tropics) D) There is no or weak evidence that using carb-derived glucose for either resting-state or exercise-consumed energy does not work or is in some way inappropriate or long-term sub-optimal, or that a diet with moderate or even high amounts of low- and medium-glycemic, whole-food carbohydrates leads to poor health outcomes, namely diabetes and obesity, where such diets are to the contrary at least generally correlative with if not contributive to high longevity (e.g. longest-lived traditional Okinawans, who got 70% of calories from purple sweet potatoes; Nicoyans: squash, beans, fruit; Sardinians: beans, polyphenol-rich fruits). In favor or neutral: A) There may be groups not known to us who successfully practiced ketogenic diets (e.g. ‘extinct as tribe’ (generally read: black) Florida Indian groups, who appeared to get most calories from crustaceans, shellfish, and fish) B) No studies have been conducted on individuals eating a high-alkalinity ketogenic diet that is very rich in whole vegetables and low-sugar fruits (which many of the more prudent keto practitioners eat) C) A balance needs to always be struck between vitality and longevity, as we don’t live forever, and meaning in life surely does not come merely from staying alive as long as possible. There’s no point in watering down the vast majority of your years (by subtracting foods that can increase strength and energy; or joy, or inspiration, etc.) just to gain an extra handful of them at the end. If ketosis is in fact the beginnings of starvation or a state of ‘energy emergency’ (and the ketogenic diet a simulation of that state, by tricking the body into confusing an extremely high-fat diet for fat stores in the body) and one feels that the gained ‘panic/desperation edge’ is worth it in pursuit of short- or long-term goals in a sedentary, overly regimented, and perhaps ‘privation-deprived’ society, even at some long-term health cost, so be it; if ketosis is starvation mode, and due to its 2-3-day delay (which would appear to be a grace period of sorts for the person to find food) it appears to be, then this dynamic probably played at least an occasional helpful role in pre-sedentary human undertakings, as an emergency, performance-boosting high (that would hopefully not be experienced frequently). And if we’re talking only about maximizing fat loss and male hormones (production of which is positively correlated with fat intake), then yes, keto dieting is effective, but so are prohormones and ECA stacks; which are healthier long-term, I wouldn’t place any wager. Or if you happen to be considerably overweight and have excess fat stores, keto (i.e. living off of stored fat) will work as a one-off, ‘crash’ weight-loss technique. As for my personal dietary approach, I’ll be going into it in a future post, but the basic elements are the following: little or no (pretty much limited to a social context) processed foods, GMOs, artificial sweeteners, processed sugars and syrups, soy, wheat and most grains, juice, most oils, dairy esp pasteurized (occasional butter and cheese), synthetic supplements or OTC drugs, pesticides, flu shots and other mercury vaccines, fluoride, or aluminum. Large amounts of whole, varied vegetables both cooked and raw including raw greens, moderate amount of low/medium-sugar whole fruits and occasional high-sugar fruits, moderate meat and fish (eaten in presence of fiber and antioxidants, and not in presence of sugars or high-glycemic carbs), high to moderate non-oil-roasted nuts and seeds, moderate low/medium-glycemic non-grain starches, and occasional to moderate amounts of legumes (plus wine, occasional beer and liquor), which provides all essential vitamins and minerals without need for supplements. You can call it ‘whole-food plant-based’ + moderate meat and seafood, or a paleo diet that’s heavy on vegetables, light on butter and bacon (though not low in fat). Circling back to keto diets, my current perspective on them is as a possible, experimental performance enhancer with possible health trade-offs, especially if used too often; tempting, but I would tend towards greater macronutritional balance until longer-term, multi-decade keto outcomes become clearer (and I’m not betting they will be particularly good).
- Times of Israel: Iranian forces fire 20 rockets at Israel; Iron Dome intercepts some (Unless they believe Iran’s leaders are ultimately playing along with all this and part of the same team as Western leaders, which is entirely possible, it is hard to imagine that any adults could be dumb or naive enough to believe this story. If Israeli elements are not behind the attack themselves, then they are turning a blind eye to other Western/US intel elements who have staged it. And this is no ‘war for Israel,’ this is a war for the Western imperial power structure (that wants to keep spending $1T/yr in the US alone) which includes the US, Israel, France, UK and other powers. I assure you, the Israeli people do not want full-scale war with Iran; the vast majority are moderate and just want to have their own state, which, regardless of its initial merits and wisdom, will not be going anywhere if cooler minds prevail. I’m not one for quotes, but as Voltaire said in 1765, “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Yes, for the uncritical arm of the ‘2A’ crowd out there, gun ownership matters, but as stated earlier, without mind ownership, gun rights are not just nothing, they are a grave danger to the rest of us.
- One of the best channels on true black history, AB Origins, which I guess I must mention was operated by a black person, was just deleted by YouTube for ‘violation of community guidelines’ after the channel had reported YouTube ‘guideline’ warnings and an increasing number of cointel-style threats over the last few months. The channel was one of level-headed commentary and hard-hitting evidence, and never included calls for violence or the like. As the slow purge by social media and Google moves forward and another genuine voice gets silenced, the corporate platforms aka ‘the internet’ become staler, less vital, less relevant. Back to the channel; make no mistake, black people will not be part of the ‘New World Order’ system in any kind of chief-executive capacity, despite the half-black Obama presidency, the rising number of corporate black celebrities and TV hosts, film and TV characters, etc. At the highest levels of the system 97-99% of the people continue to be white, not black, Asian, or Hispanic. Political activism by [largely indigenous] black Americans as a group, always a danger-to-establishment to be reckoned with and managed, is currently being co-opted through movements like Black Lives Matter, where protest of the real and long-standing problem of race-based profiling and brutality has morphed into a Clinton campaign rally and more lately, a factor in the push for gun control. A few weeks ago I happened to get a hold of a copy of the laughable Spring 2018 ‘Intelligence Report’ of the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose cover was a collage of scowling government agents posing as real KKK members and white nationalists. About half of the issue is a listing of ‘hate groups’ and the largest coverage by far is on black groups (who are supposedly 3x in number compared to white hate groups according to the SPLC), especially those who are positing alternative black histories.
- Establishment rag masquerading as edgy social commentator Vice (>50%-owned by Disney-ABC, Fox, and Hearst) put out a hit piece today (linked here) attacking people who point out that the shadow government has been outright-faking major shootings, bombings, and other ‘tragedies’ increasingly over the last several years. ‘Side Thorn’ and his wife ‘Conspiracy Granny’ who are featured in the documentary are government agents meant to disrupt and discredit official-story skepticism, as are Alex Jones and most of the highest level ‘truthers’ promoted by Google, YouTube, and corporate media outlets like Vice. Genuine voices on these subjects are search-deindexed and banned, and relegated to relative obscurity. The Vice video tries to make people who question events like Sandy Hook look like violent menaces to society or thumb-twiddling boobs days away from institutionalization. If you strongly believe people died at Sandy Hook, I encourage you to look at some of the following presentations of evidence that no one did: ‘Sandy Hoax Surprise’ on Vimeo (a banned video that shows that several dead children sang at the 2013 Super Bowl with Jennifer Hudson; they like rubbing the deception in our faces), the ‘FBI-David Wheeler’ video on Vimeo (banned from Youtube), and the ‘Annie Haddad-Nancy Lanza’ video on Youtube (banned repeatedly, there’s one low-view version still up), both of which show with crystal clarity that actor-participants in the event played not just one but two roles. Also check out CT medical examiner Wayne Carver’s ridiculous press conference. See also: the 26 Christmas trees that were videotaped by helicopter sitting behind the Sandy Hook firehouse the morning of the non-shooting; the photo-shopped drivers license photo of non-existent shooter Adam Lanza; the total non-activity on the Sandy Hook school website from 2008-2012 (the school had been closed down for years as of December 2012); the phony, stale Veronique Pozner-Anderson Cooper interview, and the Emily Parker Foundation, where the entity was formed, had a bank account, and was soliciting donations for unspecified purposes just over an hour after the fake shooting, before Parker’s alleged death was even confirmed; these among hundreds of exhibits. Contrary to the Vice documentary, denying Sandy Hook has nothing to do with mental illness; it’s about having the epistemological wherewithal to draw conclusions from valid, vetted evidence, however disturbing those conclusions may be.
- The latest predictable, formulaic false flag attack/media-intel distortion in Syria, which took place on the eve of US pull-out from the country, is barely worth commenting on. If Assad wanted to break an armed resistance that isn’t there anymore (the Syrian government gained control of every place of importance by late last year), he’d just send in troops or mercenaries to kill the old-fashioned way. It’s not like gassing is any more terrifying to a population than bombs, fire, or house-to-house raids. As for the risk of casualties, do you think such a callous dictator (the one Assad is being painted as; not that he’s in any way perfect, or necessarily good) would care about endangering a few of his own foot soldiers, in comparison to drawing the ire of and potential invasion by the US and NATO (with Russia having little presence there now and having lent only conditional support to Assad)? It’s an absurd question that deserves no answer. Chemical weapons are only useful for a few things: flushing troops out of otherwise impenetrable defensive positions, or the mass and unselective killing of civilians (as in an entire city, if that would ever be desired); their greatest use is as planted ‘WMDs’ and a pretext for invasion. Were any legitimate investigation of the weapons to occur, and it won’t, they’d most likely have ‘deep state’ fingerprints all over them, as they almost always do; especially since the unverified reports came, in typical fashion, from ‘rescue workers,’ generally a code term for CIA-infiltrated/operated NGOs.
- As the idiotic, perverse, establishment-managed ‘March for Our Lives’ rally goes on in DC (idiotic because almost all focus is being put on illegal-handgun deaths in Chicago and other heavily restricted cities, which would be completely unaffected by any proposed legislation; and perverse because upper-teen girls are doing deeply inappropriate, discordant Beatle-screams as teen boys tearfully recount the deaths, some real and some fake, of their family members [message to young Americans: bloodshed and subsequent gun-grabbing will get you laid?]; among other reasons on both counts; with corporate musical artist performances interspersed among these speeches, Grammy Awards-style), here’s hoping that the next fake event, like Parkland was, will be a total failure. For those who cannot come to terms with the disturbing reality that the insane and hubris-filled shadow government is fabricating events and deaths and who must, I guess for reasons of psychological stability, continue to operate in fantasy land, consider the Second Amendment; fantasy, that is, because the Constitution is all but a dead letter at this point, with many gun-rights advocates freely surrendering the other amendments, many civil-liberties advocates ceding the Second Amendment, and politicians ignoring all the amendments. But taking it on its face, the Second Amendment is not subject to ‘common-sense’ rules or other acts of infringement, and it has nothing to do with hunting or personal defense. Its one and only purpose, made clear in its language, is for the people to be able to defeat a standing domestic military (via either prolonged guerrilla resistance, which routinely vanquishes modern armies and empires, or via an actual field campaign), something a near-majority of the founders did not want this country to have, with a secondary benefit being to deter attacks by a foreign military. I have no plans whatsoever to fight the domestic military, I don’t ever want to do so, and I hope safeguards like the Second Amendment can keep the MIC in check, but that is its purpose. The word militia in the amendment (A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.) refers to all organization of individuals for collective defense, either as one group or many groups. As the amendment co-author George Mason repeatedly clarified, ‘What is the militia? It is the whole people.’ Second co-author James Madison said, ‘a well regulated Militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.’ The militia is all citizens, all the time. If militia meant state-governed, they would have said military. The word regulate at that time (still defined by Webster’s as ‘to bring order, method, or uniformity to;’ the first Webster’s edition of 1828 defines it as ‘To put in good order;’ both Johnson’s of 1785 and Sheridan’s of 1790 define it as ‘to direct; to adjust by method’) had no relation to government rules and regulations; it meant to be ‘regularized’ and kept in working order, meaning that for a militia to meet regularly and remain well maintained, well run, well organized, i.e. be well regulated, its members must be allowed to keep their arms at home and bear them in public spaces (as all men currently are in Switzerland for example; Swiss localities not regulated by the federal government also possess grenade launchers, anti-aircraft rockets, etc, as well as enormous food and medical supplies, and the Swiss constitution was a major inspiration for the American one). The phrase security of a free state means the getting and keeping i.e. the securing of a free country. Any infringement on gun rights gives an advantage to the standing military, which is against the spirit of the amendment. In every debate on gun rights, this understanding of the Second Amendment (the correct one, with correct historical context) must be kept at the forefront, since the power-mad rulers themselves are and may always be our greatest threat as a nation, even were all of the recent, large-scale events real. But again they’ve all been fake, actor-involved theater and nobody has died in them, so the debate is for nothing.
- Sacramento’s Sleep Train Arena Will Host Simulated [‘full-scale exercise’] Nuclear Terror Attack (Flashback March 2011: ‘Operation Closed Campus’ FSE [full-scale exercise] anti-terrorist drill cancelled due to Iowans’ concerns:” “The Department of Homeland Security sent out a public notice. . . outlining an exercise plan which would ‘give officials, observers, media personnel, and players from participating organizations information they need to observe or participate in a school shooting/domestic terrorism response.” [Yes, the drill involved media figures. In response to the public outcry, they apparently took the program underground at that point and classified the exercises many are now mistaking for reality.] If you believe in the fake Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, and Parkland shootings, you just might believe in a fake nuke; I don’t need to go into the civil-liberties consequences, and without civil liberties you can prepare to be economically raped for the next few decades; to them, you are a serf to be exploited, not a free citizen. The main point of these fake events has been to prime you for bigger and bigger ones like a nuclear attack or something even more dramatic (see Fake Aliens post). Keeping your guns matters, but keeping your mind matters far more; it’s time to open your mouth and call out the fakery on the small events now, lest they get bold/arrogant enough to up the ante in the not distant future.)
- YouTube has been scrambling to ban videos and shut down channels (and other channels that try to mirror those videos) that have been calling out the Parkland event as the play-acted, training-exercise hoax in which nobody died that it was. This link (a video from YouTube channel The Paulstal Service) is a good example of censored material that was uploaded to another hosting site (safe link, secure website). It highlights the transparency of the acting performances of the perpetrators, and the role that corporate entertainers (e.g. Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher) have been playing in protecting the false narrative around the event.
- CT Governor Malloy: NRA has become a terrorist organization (Last week it was ‘with us or against us’ and ‘call BS,’ now ‘against us’ has been substituted for Bush’s ‘with the terrorists.’ So a major player in the Sandy Hook farce – one of the gravest acts of shadow-state terrorism against the American people since 9/11 – is now calling terrorists a group who, its economic interests aside, defends core Consitutional rights? Now that people are waking up to the Parkland hoax, our insane shadow government must figure the best defense is a good offense. This won’t last long though; Parkland, like all the other hoax events, has already failed, not only in its primary objective of stripping Second Amendment rights, but also in its secondary goal of dumbing down the public so they will believe stories in the absence of convincing evidence, as more and more people are ‘calling BS’ on this and other fake shootings, and YouTube and Facebook censors scramble to stifle their voices.)
- 47.3 million U.S. adults have access to a smart speaker, report says (Smart = tapped. Between smart phones (which can listen to and film you even when turned off), smart speakers, smart TVs (which can both view you and listen to conversations, even when turned off, just like Orwell’s telescreens), and smart technology in cars, virtually all conversations are now recorded. If you think they aren’t also being stored when companies like Amazon have $600 million contracts with the CIA and the NSA has installations inside AT&T buildiings, you’re a very naive person. In all likelihood the following occurs: A) certain purchasers are tapped 24/7 and cheaply stored data is kept on file permanently, and B) for those who aren’t yet targeted, recorded content is scanned for keywords, and then stored. Obviously, there are controversial things I say that I don’t care if ‘they’ hear, or I wouldn’t have this blog. But like with all of us, who do things like wear clothes, close the blinds, etc., there are certain things I’d rather keep private. If you find the benefit of some of these technologies outweighs the cost, fine; it well may, and it does for me at times; I’m smart-reduced, but not smart-free. All I ask of people is to be aware of their environment – where everything said in range of a ‘smart’ device is by virtue of its functionality recorded and analyzed by AI, and depending on the user and the content, temporarily or permanently stored – and do not, in willfully ignorant and insolent bliss, ridicule or dismiss others who are aware of theirs. Want to make money on this highly disturbing news, and do good at the same time? Invest in soft and hard technologies that can easily jam or interfere with (only your own) smart devices (in a lawful way) or put them in ‘time out.’ As awareness of reality grows, and it is growing already, these will become increasingly popular. This post isn’t directed towards anyone I know, at least not with regards to anything lately.)
- With the continued reminder that Parkland (and Sandy Hook, Orlando, Las Vegas, etc.) was a fake shooting in which nobody died (ostensibly staged as a classified, hyper-realistic training exercise, with the deception of the public being a necessary evil; actually staged as shadow-state terrorism), consider the following: the US intentional homicide rate is 4.88, in the middle of the pack globally, and lower than in the past. It has been dropping since the 1990s. If the CIA had not flooded the inner cities with illegal drugs for decades – an ongoing reality given the state of post-9/11 opium production in Afghanistan – and the federal government did not promote an unnaturally criminal-dominated culture there due to enormous sentencing disparities and entertainment-industry propaganda, and did not promote wanton prescription of pharmaceutical opiates and amphetamines, it would probably be about half of what is is. The suicide rate is higher than average globally, but comparable to many other developed nations. Had the above not occurred, and had the shadow government not for financial gain compelled the official government to send hundreds of thousands of young men into fatal or traumatic circumstances, it would also probably be about half of what it is. The vast majority of gun deaths are suicides, and were all guns to disappear, almost all victims would surely avail themselves of other methods. Back to the AR-15 debate (which stands for Armalite 15, not assault rifle) and potential ban on bump stocks (maybe a wise token concession since they are a silly, combat-useless, defense-useless accessory that is mainly sold for recreational purposes), the following is a tally of murders by implement: handguns 5562, knives or cutting instruments 1567, hands feet fists 660, blunt objects 435, shotguns 262, rifles 248, other guns 93. Since the large majority of rifles semi-auto or otherwise are not Armalite 15s (or other-make reproductions of them, which are also called AR-15s), AR-15s probably cause between 25 and 100 deaths per year on average (and this is categorizing the fake deaths as real), which in a country of 320 million strays close to bee stings, falling appliances, lightning strikes, etc (subtracting the fake, it may be as low as 10 or 20). Anyone who claims AR-15s are a menace to society has either not seen this clear and straightforward evidence, is unable to interpret it and thus clinically mentally disabled, or is aware of it but disingenuously ignoring it for ulterior political reasons. So why are they going after AR-15s and the like? Simple: because they are widely owned, and are formidable enough to help civilians resist a tyrannical government, which is the one and only purpose of the Second Amendment. Say what you want about drones and other high-tech weaponry, tens of millions of semi-auto rifles in the right hands are a significant obstacle to tyranny; if only politicians from the ‘gun states’ would not willingly surrender the other 9 of 10 Bill of Rights amendments in the name of fighting staged terrorism, with these states supporting civil liberties destruction at a rate far higher than ‘anti-gun’ Northeast and West Coast states do, an important point to add to the ‘national conversation.’
- CNN: Students after Florida shooting: You’re either with us or against us (The actors from the Parkland training exercise – perhaps the rotten issue of the traitorous spooks who would appear to be behind the event, with some of the other alleged dead who weren’t invented altogether likely having already joined their parents on overseas assignments – are channeling Clockwork-Orange-ageism-meets-Hitlerjunge and recycling the GWB[Lenin, Mussolini, et al] with-us-or-terrorists rhetoric; other paid agitators (agitator, really, limited to the buzzcutted, screaming actress repeatedly featured by the media), in supreme irony, are threatening to ‘call BS,’ whatever that means. It’s time for more people to publicly call BS themselves on the authenticity of these events, not offer solutions on how to deal with fake problems (which there would be: for one, replacing some of the army of 6-figure, make-work administrators with a few security staff; moot, since the alleged violence problem is not a real one.) Aside from ‘with us or against’ and ‘call BS,’ a third media-intel directive is for everyone and anyone to cry, with virtually every CIA anchor, analyst, and corporate entertainer now blubbering on cue.)
- The silver lining of the Trump-Russia circus is that it has further elucidated how separate and unresponsive to popular sentiment and interest the media-intelligence-banking complex is (Trump’s degree of closeness with which is a question up for debate, not that independence from it would indicate that a person is good); the propaganda stream we call ‘the news’ is a 24/7 movie with a script, and has zero to do with on-the-ground reality, beyond its ability to mold it. Whether or not ‘Russians’ attempted to influence the election, ‘our own’ intelligence complex has attempted to influence public policy in many foreign nations, perhaps all foreign nations, on thousands of occasions. Hillary Clinton’s corporate owners contributed most of her $600 million, with alleged Russian influence totaling a paltry $2 million. I don’t know which of the two election-influencers is worse, most probably Hillary’s – at least Russian interests and agendas are largely confined to the state itself and a few adjoining nations; though at the end of the day, I believe the highest-level players in both power spheres are on the same team.
- Bloomberg: ‘No Cash Accepted’ Signs Increasingly Common in Sweden (Now for your weekly cashless-Sweden propaganda, highlighting low cash use in totally anomalous Scandinavia (0.2% of world population), while Japan, Germany, China, India, Brazil and nearly all other nations continue to use cash for 80% or more of transactions (with the US, Canada, Australia still over 50%, more than double that of Scandinavia, which averages around 25%). Cash isn’t going anywhere, unless people believe in this manufactured imminence that it will, apparently the build-up for a multi-state push for all-digital cash, which would enable nothing less than slavery of the entire population: unlimited taxation, ‘bail-ins,’ and inflation, held in place by the police and surveillance state. Fortunately, it’s almost certain to fail and be tossed in the historical wastebin, as has every other grand, ‘inevitable’ imperial scheme.)
- ‘Nikolas Cruz’ [training exercise] ‘lawyer:’ “There is only one question: Should this young man live or should he die by execution?” he said. “We believe it’s in nobody’s best interest to go through a circus of a trial.” (Have you ever once heard a lawyer speak like this, especially when his client – if the story were real – may be insane? Though it’s rare that the fake shooters live, we’ve already seen a fake trial and death-condemnation with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (pronounced Joker, say his friends), so this is nothing unprecedented. Yes, the training exercises, which must play themselves out in ALL aspects to fulfill their mission of maximum realism, now extend to the courtroom. Yes, the shadow government we live under is profoundly insane. Have I done my due diligence on Parkland? Not exactly; I have other things to do, and analyzing these events gets tiresome and formulaic. But the last 15-20 I’ve called – to name a few: Sandy Hook, Boston, San Bernardino, Paris, Munich, Nice, Brussels, Manchester, Dallas, Orlando, Sutherland Springs, Las Vegas – turned out to be correct as the evidence piled up in the days and weeks afterwards. This walks and quacks like another duck, so I am assuming it will end up no different. If I ever turn out to be wrong, RIP to any victims; surely the occasional media-featured mass shooting is organic and non-engineered, if only 1 in 20 or so. It’s a real shame that federal law enforcement and the media (state and local being pulled along for the ride) will not focus on reducing real violent crime that is happening all around us every day – involving real victims and their families, not paid-off GoFundMe crisis actors or intel agents and their children ready to return to long overseas assignments – and instead are staging (and more often lately, faking outright) crimes for political purposes. As bizarre and unsettling as all this is, continuing to live in a world of myth and fabricated heroes and villains must be far stranger.)
- Judging from what I’ve seen so far, the incident in Florida is yet another in a long series of what appear to be training exercises cast as reality, carried out under some covert, classifed, NATO-wide program that involves federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well as the media. The lone piece of video footage of the alleged shooting is of a quality worse than I’ve known to exist in the past ten years, without even a single frame that is remotely clear or that would be useful for any purpose. That and the wildly conflicting death tolls and strange emergency-treatment chronology (e.g. lack of confirmation of fatalities or even arrival of wounded victims to hospitals more than four hours after the shooting allegedly ended at around 2:45pm, when multiple hospitals, who were still being told to ‘brace for incoming victims’ as of 7pm EST, are in a 10-minute radius from the school) and the red flag of ‘other’ drills reportedly occurring at the school the same day are, taken together, more than enough to toss this one into the overflowing fake-until-proven-real bin. Likely staged under the ostensible, C.Y.A. banner of maximum realism for maximum preparedness (even at the cost of deceiving the public), the events in truth are intended to terrorize the public and promote a fear-thy-neighbor mentality, dull the ability of citizens to distinguish between reality and theater, and legislate away core Constitutional liberties.
- There are many questions about the recent Israeli skirmish in Syria. Why is it still not confirmed what happened to the jet, whether it was shot down or not? Why is the non-combative drone being described as Iranian, without evidence being shown? Why do Israel and the US continually characterize Iran as a threat, when in spite of having their democracy overthrown by the US, having over one million of their citizens die from US-provided Iraqi chemical weapons, and having their economy gutted for decades by US and Western sanctions, the 3,000-year-old nation has still not attacked any other nation – not even once- for over 250 years, longer than the US has existed, while the US has done so hundreds of times since its founding? Iran has denied involvement, as has Syria, and called the story ridiculous. As always ask cui bono, who gains from this? As with the Ghouta ‘red line’ incident, Israel and the US. Not Iran, not Syria. Israel benefited by destroying the targets it wanted destroyed, and renewing its claim to the Golan Heights, US aid, and a doctrine of preemption or lopsided response (at a cost of one aircraft and one reported injury); no country in the world is crazy enough to attack Israel since they became heavily nuclear-armed; it will never, ever happen, so you can throw out that notion; at such a massive cost, what would the benefit even be? revenge? I don’t think so; and revenge by whom and for what? it’s not like Iranians or Syrians have much of anything to do with Palestinians, and Iranians share no linguistic or ethnic bonds with them and are mostly in a different sect of Islam. The US regime on its part restored instability in the region and helped keep its $1T/yr-plus-interest ‘national defense’ scam running. In a more general sense, putting the particulars of this event aside, Russia, China, Iran, and Syria benefit from long-term peace and stability in Eurasia, while the US and its Atlantic allies (core NATO: UK, France) benefit from chaos (which a ‘feisty’ Likud-run Israel aids in), which allows them to maintain economic and geopolitical relevance and centrality; so any destabilizing event suggests US involvement. You can come to your own conclusions about who’s responsible for the attack; to me it’s obvious; barely worth mentioning were lives not being lost and the consequences of war not so grave.
- With all the focus put on ‘FISA warrants,’ it should be noted that the so called FISA court is secret, not open to public review, and approves 99.97% of requests, only rejecting 12 of 38,169, probably due to typos or procedural errors. That’s a rubber-stamp sham to violate the 4th amendment, not a court. But forget FISA warrants. In the background, the NSA is ‘inadvertently’ and illegally collecting and storing ALL digital communications of ALL citizens, including voice, text message, and email content. It has been going on for 20 years, and admitted dozens of times (e.g. in cases where intelligence agencies had access to voice content of subjects who were not under investigation at the time calls were made). Our lawless shadow government then uses the information to aid in the often politically motivated investigation of federal, state, and perhaps even local crimes, and just as importantly, to harrass and blackmail dissidents, including politicians. The only reason FISA even exists is because it predates the NSA mass collection of communications, and because unlike NSA-collected evidence, FISA evidence is court-admissible.
- A few weeks ago in the ticker below I explained why the stock market needs to fall 91% from its January 26 high of 26,616 just to get in proportionality with other asset classes, e.g. USDs, consumer goods, real estate – no recession or slowdown necessary. For anyone who thinks yesterday was a false alarm, recall the timelines of the 1929 crash: September 3 1929, Dow reaches all-time high of 385 (4,894 adjusted for inflation, 82% lower than today). ‘Greatest economist’ Irving Fisher had proclaimed shortly beforehand that ‘stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.’ In mid-September a series of 5-10% price slips occur (we’re down 7% since Friday), characterized by the media (like now) as ‘healthy corrections’ and ‘buying opportunities.’ The market slowly dips lower, and Black Thursday and Tuesday occur on October 24 and 29, resulting in about a 29% decline, followed by another big, multi-day rally, then another crash, and by mid-November it sits at 200, 48% below its high. The market rebounds almost 50% by April 1930, but turns south again and by October 1930 falls 50% again and returns to 200. The worst is not over: by way of a number of ups and downs, the Dow continues its decline until it reaches a low of 41.22 by July 1932, 89.4% below its pre-crash high (747.19 inflation-adjusted, 97.2% lower than last month). Twenty years after the crash, in 1949, its sits an inflation-adjusted 72% and nominal 48% below its 1929 high, at 200.52. Pre-1929 price levels aren’t restored until the mid and late 1960s, a period of economic prosperity. In 1971, Nixon unhinges the dollar from gold and a nearly 50-year era of debt binging begins, bringing the price from 805 in 1978 to 11,722 in January 2000 to 6,507 in March 2009 to 26,392 this year (33x), while real estate, wages, and consumer products have risen about 3.2x, and the inflated GDP statistic about 8x. If the Fed’s ‘Plunge Protection Team’ spares Trump of blame and steps in for more QE to stave off the crash for months or years longer, the loss of value will happen all the same, just be obscured by inflation. This doesn’t make me happy, and I don’t want to see good people lose money and get hurt, though I’m sure it will happen; what I do want is a world that is governed more by truth and less by lies.
- As the month of lie-filled ‘black history’ begins, it’s a good time to check out last year’s post ‘The Trans-Atlantic Deception.’ There have been many updates and changes made to the post, which now contains hundreds of exhibits of evidence proving among many other things that black Americans are largely indigenous to the Americas, with little and in some cases no African heritage, and that the trans-Atlantic slave trade is largely a fabrication that has been cobbled together since the 1960s and 70s, after all the major black leaders who might have opposed it were killed by the shadow government. First it was ‘Africanisms,’ then Roots plagiarism, the Goree hoax, the many ‘rediscovered’ slave memoirs and import records, and finally Jesse Jackson’s 1988 African-American speech, and since then, the layering on of more scholarly ‘consensus,’ renaming of museums, etc. The Africa deception, which began in its earliest forms around 1790 with the gradual, partial adoption of ‘negro’ (previously called Indians, savages, infidels, moors, blackamoors, natives, aboriginals) then ‘African’ i.e. ‘of the African race,’ was carried out. The result (and perhaps intention) was to genericize native peoples and dissolve tribal identity, and posit a faraway homeland in order to prevent slave revolt and steal the lands of the sedentary black nations in the Eastern and Southeastern US (with the minority non-black tribes of those regions being mostly nomadic, and having less of a claim to land and nationhood), as well as many other parts of the continents, and later to avert a reassertion of black national sovereignty following Civil Rights victories in the late 1960s. Whatever the future holds politically and however long the US in its current form will last, we need to stop the paper genocide of indigenous peoples and set the historical record straight to end up in a good place on this part of the planet.
- Chris Long: ‘No I’m not going to the White House. Are you kidding me?’ (Kudos to Chris Long for refusing to visit the White House and kiss Military Industrial Banking Complex butt. Long, who didn’t visit the Obama White House last year when he won the Super Bowl with the Patriots, is an example of what a professional athlete should be: not a trifling money-grubber who puts endorsements and continued millions in salary before principles, plays a game for the fun of a game, understands that while sports can be a means to an end and develop character, it’s not brave or virtuous to play a game, and that it’s our responsibility to do good in the real world; and I know there are many other pro athletes who do do good, in their private, family, and public lives. Back to his apparent dissing of Trump, while I hope Trump succeeds with certain things – A) not deporting children who grew up in America and did nothing wrong, regardless of what their parents did (and they didn’t either, since people have a right to travel and work where they want; though they don’t have a right to be subsidized with tax money, particularly when they’re not citizens) B) getting and staying out of Syria and other Middle Eastern countries C) ‘reforming’ taxes so that small and medium businesses aren’t paying the highest corporate rate in the world, and large US corporations won’t have to jump through hoops and play around with foreign entities in order to pay lower taxes – recall the following things that Trump supports: 1) imprisoning or executing people who call out unconstitutional behavior and war crimes 2) spying on all American citizens without a warrant 3) going to war and continuing to drop ~30,000 bombs per year on foreign nations without a congressional declaration 4) raising the military budget by $150B/yr when we already spend 9x more on military imperialism and interest than on essential state and federal government services (see recent post), among many other reprehensible things [that it must be noted were also carried out by Obama – who imprisoned and tortured whistleblowers for 7.9 of his 8 years – and supported by Clinton]. I stand by my original assertion that there was and is reason to believe Trump will end up better than Clinton would have been, something we can never know, and I will support good things he does and oppose bad. But the Trump White House, like every administration of the last 100+ years, remains a disgrace in spite of the cheerleading, and does not currently stand for what America supposedly does. Trump, like Congress [and Clinton, Bush, Obama, the UN etc. etc.], disregards the Constitution and has repeatedly said or implied that he believes that he knows best and that he’s a man above the law. Restoration of the aforementioned Constitutional values aka American values to the Presidency will most likely never occur under the two-party mafia; only an alliance of non-establishment elements, a compromise ticket of libertarian and Green/Progressive principles can garner wide enough support to break their control (and even then we may not get there, due to the perhaps unmanageable scale and thus inherently unrepresentative nature of our nation). So in short, why should Long respect an invitation from two adminisrations who had no respect for the supreme law of the land? And when speaking of Constitutionalism, this isn’t about strict constructionism, where things like federal land ownership, fiat money, central banking, direct taxation, and non-delegated federal activities are all illegal, which would be highly preferable ; this is about the Bill of Rights. Another note in a discussion of patriotism: before 1918, a few years after the country was sold down the river, no one sang the national anthem at sporting events (we didn’t even have an official national anthem until 1931, or the Pledge of Allegiance until 1942), and it wasn’t widespread in sports until the Vietnam War ramp-up in the late 1960s; and prior to 2009, no NFL players stood for the national anthem; they were in the locker room during it. That year the Department of Defense paid $6.8 million to the NFL and other sport leagues to incorporate ‘patriotic displays’ into games, including having players stand for the national anthem, be led out onto the field by soldiers, etc., hence the military pep rallies that professional sports (and apparently, State of Union addresses) have increasingly become. It’s all about that cool, debt-financed, unaudited $1T/yr plus interest that the average worker pays $8k/yr ($700/mo) for, to get a ‘strong military’ in a world with no real enemies. I love playing sports, I like watching them on occasion, and I’d enjoy seeing the Eagles win on Sunday, but that’s my piece on it.)
- While I don’t agree with all of his political vision, Martin Luther King did what he thought was right (and largely was right) and died for it, and for that he deserves great respect. After he ignored their blackmail attempts and demands to commit suicide, all indications are that King was then assassinated by the FBI (with collaboration of intelligence and local police, as happened in the Fred Hampton assassination) at the direction of J. Edgar Hoover and other scum associated with the Bureau’s COINTELPRO (Counter-Intelligence Program) – which is ongoing under a different name and perhaps agency – as were many other black activists, including Hampton, Malcolm X, and Huey Newton, and countless others who were framed, endlessly harassed and threatened inside and outside the US (e.g. Eddie Mabo of Australia). It’s my belief that King, X and others were aware of the indigenous, mostly non-African origins of black Americans and hinted at it on numerous occasions in speeches, and may have been killed to keep them from eventually revealing it, or from opposing (in some less direct way) the Roots/African-American lie that came shortly after their deaths. Either way, thousands upon thousands of exhibits in the historical and archaeological record (hundreds of them in the Trans-Atlantic Deception post) establish that this is indeed the case – that the original Americans were black (like the first peoples on every other continent and island), and that the vast majority of slaves were not imported Africans but ‘negro’ Indians who would be and are today called black and who were concentrated in the first-encountered areas of the Eastern and Southeastern US (Guale/Yamasee, Yuchi, Timucua, Apalachee, Mocama, Tequesta, Coosa (and broader Mississippian), Cusabo, Pequot, Powhatan, Roanoke, Croatan, and dozens of other ‘extinct as tribe’ sedentary agriculturalist groups), Southeast and Northeast Brazil and the Guyanas, and the Caribbean basin, among other regions (e.g. California, the Pacific Northwest, Eastern Canada), and who were ethnically different from the more ‘mongoloid,’ nomadic, and lower-population Plains Indians who later came to take exclusive claim of the ‘Native American’ mantle. MLK Day should honor not just King but all those black and dark-skinned leaders who have been killed or targeted by the overwhelmingly white shadow government. All of us, white, black, or otherwise, who are outside ‘the club’ are its enemies, but there is an ethnic or color component that cannot be glossed over and should be kept in memory and future consideration. I don’t endorse all of the channel’s content or affiliates, but I recommend the YouTube-search-censored documentary ‘The Science Agenda to Exterminate Blacks’ [ /watch?v=SMNFQ4tLRFc ] – hardly complete in its exposure, but hard-hitting nonetheless – to demonstrate that this conflict is far from over.
- New charts have been added to the Big Ugly Bubble post. Since the post was written in December 2016, stock prices have exploded further, while wages have stagnated, corporate earnings remained mostly flat, and the GDP has barely budged higher. The post chronicles the artificiality of the US stock market since the mid-1960s, beginning with the LBJ administration’s heavy military and domestic spending, followed by the 1970s hangover and deindustrialization, then the 1980s Reagan debt binge, then the 1987 crash, then the 1987-2001 ‘Greenspan Put’ low-interest high, then the 2001 Dotcom crash, then the 2002-2007 Subprime lending boom, then the 2008 crash, now QE 1-4. The US GDP in 1980 stood at $6.5 trillion, and the Dow-Jones stood at $825. The Dow is now 31x higher at nearly $26,000, but GDP is only 2.8x higher at $18.5 trillion, and consumer prices and wages are only 3.1x and 2.5x higher respectively. Put aside the noise and the euphoria, and 3x (GDP, wages, CPI, real estate) vs. 30x (stocks) remains the glaring problem. We live amidst a phony stock market that needs to fall 91% to get in line with all other economic indicators. This isn’t doom-and-gloom, or a prediction of ‘zombie apocalypse’ (though the correction could be swift and severe enough that I think all Americans should have basic preparations in order, for this and other potentialities; see ‘Get Prepared for <$500' post), it's simply refraining from the insane stock optimism or delusion that has gripped not only the media (no shock there) but much of the nation. A 91% drop does not assume recession of any kind and is merely a return to proportionality with valuations in other asset classes. As big a collapse as that seems, the public stock market is not the real economy: most younger Americans with no or low retirement or 401k savings will be unaffected in a fundamental sense, and the majority will keep their public and private sector jobs, if at a significantly lower real wage. Home prices - only up about 3x since 1980 - might not be greatly affected, or not anywhere near as dramatically as stocks. The main consequence will be that retired and retiring people who believe they have a large, majority-stock investment cushion will be wiped out financially; they'll survive, but will have to live in the more frugal and marginal manner of prior generations, and many paper millionaires will become $100-200k'ers. Since when are middle-class older people supposed to have massive savings relative to the rest of the population? It has historically been the opposite (where wealth peaks in young- or mid-middle age, and people start slowly using up their savings - i.e. the principal, not just the interest - around age 50 or so and pass away with little or no money; but in the Bubble Age all people, some looking for labor-free profits and others just desperate to offset theft by inflation, are now considered to be global investors even though most have never run a business venture and often have no intimate knowledge of what they are even invested in); for those who refuse to protect themselves, this anomalous state of affairs is coming to an end. For comparison observe Japan, the world's strongest stock market in the 1970s and 80s. Its Nikkei index collapsed 82% in 1992, and the economy and society apparently survived (putting aside its demographic and reproductive crisis), though the market still sits 50% below its high 25 years ago (75% below it at the start of Japan's ongoing version of QE in 2010), showing that a fast price recovery is no guarantee. You can also take the Crash of 1929, where prices fell 89.4% from October '29 to June '32, and in 1949 still sat 72% below the inflation-adjusted '29 high. To vindicate my mode of analysis and chosen timeframe, consider some past Dow boom-time highs, adjusted for inflation: January 1966 (7,624; -71%), September 1987 (5,738, -79%), September 1929 (4,894; -82%) (as for Greenspan/QE-era highs, look at Dotcom peak September 2000, which was inflation-adjusted 17,160, -35%; or Oct '02 -63%; for a recent low, interrupted by QE, take March '09: -72%). Those are the three highest pre-Greenspan peaks in US history (though the '87 high was largely Reagan-debt-fueled). The non-boom years routinely approach or exceed 90% (an extreme example: November 1920 (946; -96.4%). If you think we're now 4-5x hotter than those three boom peaks, I have a bridge I need to sell for cash fast (and I'll throw in a kilo of meth). Whenever the reality-adjustment happens, whether one week or ten years from now, life will go on, and I think the US will survive as all other nations have- just don't put too much faith/stock in numbers on a page that you have no control over and thus no real ownership of, and had little to no hand in building up. You can ignore or dismiss now, but you'll be sorely disappointed later.
- As the ridiculous but potentially dangerous North Korea situation develops, keep in mind that all that you are witnessing – the binocular photos, ‘little rocket man’ and ‘dotard’ Twitter spats – is nothing but theater on a world scale, like almost all topics treated by the Western media. If the North Korean regime is anything other than a war-trigger in waiting for the global political and economic elite, they have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose from attacking anyone – therefore they won’t do it, so it’ll be all false flags and puppeteering from here, if things worsen. A staged nuclear attack – at the Olympics, on a Pacific military installation, in a US city, whether real or faked – blamed on North Korea and meant to up the 9/11 ante would be both relatively easy to execute and devastating – but only if enough people believe it; otherwise the draconian response will demoralize the public and be counterproductive to the establishment. If successful, it could allow the US to loot North Korea for its vast, $7-10 trillion supply of rare minerals and further entrench the growing number of police and surveillance states. Or we could get a similar, real or fake event blamed on an Iranian proxy in one of the oil kingdoms, Israel, or perhaps the US, consistent with the establishment’s frequent East-West pump-fakes. These kinds of eventualities may or may not come, and are in a practical sense out of our control; the only defenses are to be physically prepared for them in proportion with their likelihood and more importantly, cognizant of the elementary school-level, knock knock zoom-style antics of the ‘deep state’ who perpetrates them, and thus not able to be moved in the desired direction. Of course, the Trump-apologist view (that posits multiple, truly independent power centers both inside the US and globally, as opposed to a more or less monolithic world power structure) might be that contained conflict in and/or drama around North Korea is being intentionally sought out to defuse a wider-scale Mideast firestorm involving Syria, Russia, and Iran. Whichever is true (a system and/or confluence of ultimately non-competing, cooperating, supranational interests seems to be the most likely scenario), the growing and ever more vocalized (or at least keyboarded) awareness that these kinds of things are not as anyone in power – whether media-intel, Trump team, or one-and-same establishment – presents them to be is something surely not coincidental with the end of net neutrality and continuing clampdown of ‘hateful’ or ‘abusive’ internet speech. Though even before the corporate net takeover, only a few prepackaged worldviews – ‘alt right’ (Breitbart, Infowars, Coulter, Milo, etc., which has now all but replaced the aging establishment right, who even voices like Limbaugh and Hannity have abandoned), ‘alt left’ (NPR, Maddow, Olbermann, TYT), and core-establishment (NBC-ABC centrists and lapdog ‘fact checkers’) – were being promoted by search engines , YouTube, and ISPs (with anti-war libertarian decentralism and green Progressivism relegated to the fringes; by design, not lack of interest): management of the discourse has long been here and only gone from the unofficial to the official. With the chances of a big, media-managed (staged) event seemingly growing higher (and the odds of it failing also higher), suspension of judgment and the primacy of local, on-the-ground focus on people and things that can be known and trusted (unlike nearly everything beamed in to your various ‘devices’ by the establishment) are the orders of the day. As for the internet, ‘Digital Siberia’ as it has been termed – the banned, the blocked, the demonetized – is with ever fewer exceptions the only place for honest (right or wrong) online commentary on anything of major importance.
- In talk of taxation of ‘the rich,’ both parties are (in predictable fashion) totally ignoring the biggest factor: trusts, holding companies and private investment funds, and tax-free foundations. The real rich long ago moved their money and assets into these vehicles, which completely circumvent personal income taxation. That is to say nothing of their offshore entities (lenders, IP holders, reinsurers) that bleed down domestic profits and escape all taxation. This is why Warren Buffet and other wealthy Democrats often call for higher personal income taxes: because they are not paying those taxes as it is and are holding almost all their money in non-personal entities, so the personal rates mean nothing to them, and any change in them is peanuts compared to whatever government largesse (contracts, special tax treatment, bailouts) it was that helped make and keep them wealthy; raising personal taxes on ordinary Americans would make that largesse – the special interest piggy bank – even greater, a big net win. The only people actually affected by these ‘tax the rich’ schemes are moderately wealthy, independent earners (e.g. doctors, successful small business owners) who make 200-400k/yr and may not have the discretionary money or time, legal and financial knowhow, and/or political connections to successfully implement complex tax avoidance strategies. If you have any doubt this is occurring, look at the supposed personal income levels in the richest non-resort zip codes (e.g. Alpine NJ, median household income $172k, median home price $4.7 million, where annual 30-year mortgage and property tax payments alone would exceed $280k; or Atherton CA: $9.8M / $249k, equivalent to a family with one part-time McDonalds worker living in a $1M house) where most residents actually have high 6- and 7-figure incomes via corporate entities they control (and often make themselves non-taxable personal loans including sham mortgages with), and thus are able to live in mid 7- to 8-figure homes, yet have official personal incomes in the very low 6-figure range. Until advocates for greater economic distribution recognize how things work and who the big fish are, they will continue to be looked at as off-base and counterproductive by people in the know. The Progressive arm of the Democratic party need to focus on things like major antitrust actions esp against tech and media companies, wealth taxes (with some exemptions e.g. for primary residence) that apply to all persons including corporations and trusts and cannot be circumvented, and the adoption of North Dakota-style, state-owned banks and treatment of banking as a utility. If such measures were adopted social spending could be increased and taxes dramatically lowered for all income up to about $500k per year. Until the system decentralizes to the level of bona fide, intentional, politically and socially self-determining communities, the national debate should be (and I think is actually, outside of the media echo chamber) between libertarianism and true Progressivism or Green – with perhaps a blend of the two achieved, hopefully leaning libertarian – not crony capitalism (R) (I prefer the term cronyism) and crony capitalism lite/entrenched (D).
- Rapper B.o.B. is the second black celebrity, Shaq being the first (‘It’s true. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. Yeah, it is. Yes, it is . . . In school, first thing they teach us is, ‘Oh, Columbus discovered America,’ but when he got there, there were some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking on the peace pipes. So, what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t discover America.’) to endorse or hint at both Flat Earth disinformation and the reality of the trans-Atlantic deception, where most of the aboriginal population of the Americas, as well as every other continent, were and are what we today call black, with ‘mongoloid’ peoples constituting a minority in the Americas, and any African slaves comprising only a small portion – in some cases none – of the heritage of modern-day ‘African-Americans,’ as well as ‘Afro-Caribbeans,’ ‘Afro-Brazilians,’ etc. Most slaves in the US and the wider Americas were indigenous ‘negro’ peoples, not Africans, and many ‘free negro’ and ‘colored’ peoples whose descendants are now called black were not African and were never enslaved. This deception and the broader ‘sub-Saharanization’ of blacks were carried out to reduce the risk of slave revolts and to dispossess blacks both of the Americas and of black antiquities in America and elsewhere (e.g. Egypt, Mexico, Peru, SE Asia, Japan). See recent post. Back to Flat Earth, it is a disinformation campaign that has massive establishment backing (e.g. the sudden emergence of hundreds of YouTube channels managed by people who are clearly paid disinformation artists, and the heavy promotion of that content by YouTube) and is intended to discredit the many genuine conspiracy facts in a wide variety of fields, and I believe B.o.B.’s comments (and in an oblique way, Shaq’s also) were meant to undermine increasing exposure of the trans-Atlantic slavery ‘hoax.’ On some level I applaud the hypercritical, no-holds-barred approach of Flat Earthers (the few of them who aren’t media-intel agents or assets), since such a mentality is needed to uncover important truths; many people lack this and do not actually know (why) the Earth is round, they just accept it from authority in the same way that they also accept many lies. As for me, I do personally know that unless we are living in some kind of simulation and the underlying, non-simulated world is flat (which, having faith in some spheres of life, I do not believe; no pun intended), the Earth is not flat. There are a variety of ways for the layman to prove this to himself, which I have done and documented, not expecting any surprise, only to counter the rampant disinfo online: that ships and buildings vanish over a level horizon (i.e. water) precisely in accordance with the curvature formula, regardless of zoom lens strength, the only apparent explanation for that being roundness; that there are midnight sun and aurora australis near the South Pole, among dozens of millennia-old proofs. It’s a shame that elements in the government are so desperate to disrupt the adoption of non-establishment narratives that we have to go into this territory to counter their cointel antics, though also promising given the increasing bizarreness and transparency, which is leading more people – maybe nearing a critical mass – to break out of the state of cognitive paralysis currently widespread in American society, disconnect from the establishment media’s prepackaged worldview and value system (your choice of two), and make their own independent judgments.)
- NYT: Will Cash Disappear? (To distract you from the myth that is inevitable and imminent cashlessness – in most places cash usage has remained flat or increased; see blog article – the NY Times counts on the reality of lower attention spans to push its propaganda. If you somehow could have any doubts at this point in the ‘conspiracy theory’ that the NYT is not a ‘credible, legitimate news source’ (the kind favored by Google and ‘fact checking’ sites like Snopes), but establishment toilet paper that has long been salivating over cashlessness as a means for unlimited financial and geospatial surveillance, taxation, and larcenous inflation, glance through this article: ‘China has led the charge into the cashless future’ (lie; cash continues to be totally dominant in all socioeconomic strata of China; 51% there have NEVER used – i.e. do not possess – a credit or debit card, or depending on the NYT’s definition of ‘noncash,’ have even written or received a check!) ‘Sweden has been one of most visible leaders in the war on cash’ (what war? The NYT’s war. Low-corruption and (perhaps overly) trusting Scandinavia, with cash usage at 30% of transactions, is an anomaly globally and not representative of any other area, for example, not the rest of Northern Europe where cash is used in the large majority of transactions, e.g. 82% in Germany). Back to attention spans, there is a heat map shown in the article that displays percentages that most might assume refer to the percentage of transactions that are card-based or electronic: but no, they refer to ‘Share of adults who have made or received any noncash payment’ (and even then, many huge economies- Brazil, India (only 22% there have ever used a card), China (49%), Mexico, Russia, South Africa – only range from 22 to 66%). So if anyone has ever used a credit or debit card, or even received a check, the NY Times is casting him or her as an anti-cash crusader. Japan is another nation worth mentioning where cash continues to be predominant. The NYT’s palpable desperation, where they are brazenly manufacturing trends, is due to the fact that technology can be a permanently liberating force, and the establishment has a limited time window in which to turn it into the opposite -by instituting a cashless financial surveillance grid, for example – and maintain control.)
- At least 85-90% of (non-domestic, non-organized-crime; the latest being partially domestic/personal) mass shootings in the last 15-20 years have not passed the smell test, and many could be described as provably fake events (Sandy Hook, Orlando, in all likelihood Las Vegas, and many others). If you subtract out the known staged and faked, we may have an occasional real mass shooting, perhaps one per year on average, which is equal to one every 10-20 years for a normal-sized country (this division by 10-20 has to be applied to any crime or mortality statistics – e.g. oft cited annual gun deaths, mostly consisting of suicide that would only be done in other ways – to put them into proper perspective). I haven’t had time and won’t for Sutherland Springs, but as others have pointed out, based on the story we’ve been presented with (whether fictional or real), nothing could have stopped it, except more legally armed citizens (the good of which outnumber the bad on the order of 99 to 1, at least), perhaps increased restraint in the prescription of psychotropic medication, and domestic and foreign policy that are less psychologically, physically, and financially abusive of the American people. If this was like Las Vegas or Sandy Hook and so outrageous as to warrant a call-out, I would, but so far it isn’t; and if this happens to have been the rare real or live-fire staged shooting (as opposed to the training exercise simulations of late), RIP to the victims.
- A quick word on Bitcoin. Since I became aware of it in 2011 when it fluctuated between $1 and $2 per coin and made some public comments suggesting others take a look at it, some assumed I got in early and made a killing. Had I actually invested, I’d be a multi-millionaire; but I didn’t, and for better or worse I’m far from one. Moving on, is it worth it to get in now? On the one hand, Bitcoin has great utility for P2P transactions in certain political and technological contexts, assuming price stability. On the other, it’s not truly scarce, i.e. relative to other cryptocurrencies, and can be imitated or outcompeted (e.g. by stronger encryption, shorter processing times) ad infinitum. But can be ≠ is, and improving decryption can take many years. It’s also not hard-value backed, but encryption is a powerful thing with real-world effects: how different is action – and different than authority would like it to be – when transactions and communications are truly secret? But again, neither encryption or blockchain are by any means Bitcoin-proprietary. If everyone decides Bitcoin is THE cryptocurrency, then the sky’s the limit for the time being; it could go to $100,000, or $1 million. If it isn’t that, it still has much potential value as a money remittance tool, assuming reasonable price stability, that price needing to at least reflect several-days’ transaction volume to account for conversion delays. We just had an election for the world’s most powerful office (after the Fed chairmanship) between Donald Trump and a career criminal who Arkancided (Google Image Clinton body count infographic) at least several dozen people and stole the homes of dozens of senior citizens among many other misdeeds, so I’d have to say all bets are (and long/always have been) off with regards to the soundness of global economics and politics. The US Dollar has an $18 trillion market cap and its value, ‘faith, and credit’ rests in large part on lies, fake events, illegal wars, a leadership teeming with hardcore criminals, etc.. So why shouldn’t it be shaken up and given some competition? But something about Bitcoin doesn’t smell right: the celebrity endorsements, the broadening corporate acceptance, the bank-like KYC requirements that have never seemed appropriate for an unregulated, open-source currency. Those first two could just be an attempt to join the party and cash in (if it is actually decryptable or traceable by the government, for instance, and thus not a threat), but they might also be meant to put Bitcoin into the limelight as part of a longer-term, baked-in plan to have it fail, and thereby severely discredit other, potentially dangerous cryptocurrencies in the eyes of the average citizen. Could you make money if you get out at the right time? I’d imagine you could. Is it a truly politically and socially revolutionizing currency? I’m not betting on that: the revolution will not be televised (or maybe it will be heavily televised in an attempt to sully and neutralize it; only time will tell).
- Daily Mail: Catalans Vote for Independence but Spain Imposes Rule (The diction in Daily Mail’s article echoes that of other establishment rags including the NY Times, Economist, and Washington Post. ‘The Spanish senate in Madrid has dismantled Catalonia’s autonomy by invoking Article 155.’ PM Rajoy said today he wanted to ‘shut down’ or ‘dismiss’ the Catalan regional parliament. The papers have previously declared that Spain ‘canceled’ the vote by declaring it illegal. In reality, nothing has been dismantled or canceled, but I guess the papers are hoping they can somehow write those actions into being. We’ll see if Spain’s oligarchy can resist its urge to try to violently crush the new Catalonian nation (which hopefully can preserve some democratic integrity itself, as a smaller and more representative and manageably sized state). Spain is between a rock and a hard place: it can choose to 1) invade Catalonia and expose the sham of Western democracy as an institution held in place by brute force, not the will of the people or a mythical social contract; or 2) allow it to happen and lose a significant part of its tax base and and fiat-debt servicing population, which won’t make Spain’s fraudster creditors happy (fraudsters because the debt they hold was created out of thin air; see the film Renaissance 2.0)
- 61% of Americans Don’t Believe Oswald Killed JFK, Only 33% Believe Official Story (That percentage approaches 100 outside the US, as it does also for 9/11 in many parts of the world. I’m certainly not optimistic about the JFK release, but we’ll see what happens shortly. Whoever Trump is and whatever his status in the establishment before and since his election, the classified NATO training exercises cast as reality (Sandy Hook, Boston, Las Vegas, Brussels, Nice, etc.), geoengineering program, aggressive foreign wars, and other core elements of the shadow government’s agenda have continued unabated, so the odds that Trump would allow great damage to the ruling media-intel complex by blowing the whistle on JFK seem exceedingly low. If I had to guess, the release will just create more questions around Oswald, at best hinting at some possible link to intelligence agencies, but will lead to no clear answers and produce no actionable evidence of any kind. Regardless, a large portion of the documents are still being redacted, so this ‘full release’ isn’t really one, and any truly incriminating files would have been long ago destroyed, or far more likely, never created in the first place. The JFK investigation has never been my thing, but the totality of the evidence points to a ‘blood pact’ involving multiple parties who all wanted him gone, and contributed one shooter each for a total of at least five shooters to muddy the investigatory waters and ensure success (with the cover-up managed by Johnson administration intel elements): Lyndon Johnson via Mac Wallace, the CIA and ‘intel community’ who represented the country’s media-intel-banking rulership, and anti-Castro Cubans, as well as potentially the Italian mob and Israeli nuclear-arms proponents. JFK got into office as an establishment darling, but he was the last president who even attempted to find his backbone, then started to stand. It’s sad, but we don’t live in a democracy and haven’t for decades, if not centuries; it’s just minimally invasive or free-range oligarchy. When they stop playing whack-a-mole with every subversive leader who comes along, I’ll think differently. Yes, the US has many redeeming qualities and nowhere is even close to perfect; I’m just calling it as I see it.
- I’ve used the term ‘flag waving’ and other descriptions for uncritical patriotism here, and I’d like to clarify some of what is behind that. In this country’s ceaseless centralization and insatiable thirst for corporate-imperial wealth, it has stooped to what may be an all-time moral and intellectual low among known human civilizations. Any religion-, race-, or even money- or property-based justifications for war are nobler (since even the worst of them might be said to fall under moral or philosophical error) than what we are now presented with from our rulers, which can be summed up as: kill, but don’t even dare to think; we (the system’s architects) are intelligence, not you. This ‘post-mental’ vacuum is illustrated in many a recent TV show and film: take ‘American Sniper,’ ‘Kingsman,’ and ‘American Assassin.’ From American Assassin: ‘What’s the mission, sir?’ ‘Eliminate the target.’ ‘I pursued the target, isn’t that my job? Your job is to do what I tell you to do.’ ‘What do you think we do here?’ ‘Kill people who need to be killed.’ Yes, it’s just a movie, but this is one of the main ways the establishment propagandizes us. Consider the epidemic of suicide and post-traumatic stress among ex-military people (ironically comprising most of the anti-war movement today), especially drone pilots (who extinguish innocent lives daily on the order of AI-managed ‘signals intelligence,’ free from human scrutiny): it’s because ideology and meaning – crucial to self-esteem and mental and spiritual health, particularly for those involved in martial activities – has been removed from the equation. If neither you or anyone else can explain who you are killing and exactly why (‘militant’ ‘extremist’ or ‘terrorist’ name-calling doesn’t suffice), you in that role are a contract killer or paid mule, not a hero, whatever your capacity for heroism or redeeming qualities and deeds may be. A hero is someone who decides to do something – often but not always some physical task – he can see is good (that most people lack the courage and/or ability to do) and then does it. Warriors of the not distant past generally subscribed to some definable, if increasingly vague, logos and ethos, wrong or right (even if in the earliest times it was just an honest ‘take because we need’) and thus had at least the potential for heroism and ‘thankability.’ Those of today generally can’t be said to have that, and it’s a sad state of affairs. The solution is to end military interventionism and get these people home for good. If we have to pay them to pick daisies, break rocks, or pound sand for a while (or rebuild and maintain our infrastructure), it would be far better and more constructive than what they are engaged in now. China and Russia do not have the desire or capacity for global hegemony. There are no real threats, there are no independent Doctor Evils intent on a global nuclear holocaust. The only formidable enemy out there is and for decades has been ‘our own’ intelligence-led, corporate-owned shadow government, and the over-classification and -compartmentation in the intel and military worlds are contrived to obscure this fact. (No personal disrespect to military people deployed overseas; there are many members of the military who I like and respect greatly on a personal level, I just think they should be brought back to the US and find a new line of work. This is not ‘anti-military,’ just anti-money wasting and pro-mental and physical health of military members. It should go without saying that it is evil to bomb and occupy nations that pose no serious threat to us. In cases where troops are doing that, I certainly do not support them unless it’s to return home safely and immediately.)
- Trump Told Soldier’s Widow He Knew ‘What He Signed Up For’ (If the story is true, then yes, Trump’s ideological or cognitive inconsistency, tactlessness, and hypocrisy are appalling (although, as it must be said, not any measurably more so than Obama’s 24/7 lying, teleprompted buffoonery – mistaken by many for eloquence – or Hillary’s lifelong, thinly veiled contempt for the country and its citizens), but let’s forego the pearl-clutching response many have had, put Trump’s antics aside, and get real for a second. While I hope the soldier rests in peace like I do for all apparently well intentioned people, he was stationed in Niger (which amounts to occupation since any who protest it would be cast an enemy or ‘non-simpatico’), an African nation that has never threatened the US and like 191 of 193 countries (excepting the UK and Japan; with Roosevelt intentionally provoking and perhaps even leaving the door open for Japan) has never attacked US territory. Johnson signed up and was being paid to fight ‘militants,’ a word defined as ‘a soldier, a combatant’ (If we drop a bomb on someone or raid his home, is he now in combat against us? No; in most cases he’s a murder victim) but that in modern US parlance is the term for faceless, foreign brown and black people and their families who ‘our’ profoundly evil targeting matrix (largely AI-collated SIGINT) decides need to die from one of ‘our’ 27,000 yearly bombs or ‘our’ spec ops, intel. or intel-funded marauders currently active in over 70% of the world’s nations; that $1 trillion per year security theater and aggression (aka defense) budget has to go somewhere. The unconditional ‘support the troops’ mentality needs to come to an end: this is not keeping us safe, this is not defending our country, this is not doing anything except spilling the blood of foreigners who want nothing to do with us, maiming and traumatizing patriotic veterans, robbing children of their fathers, and wasting inconceivably vast amounts of tax money. If you want to support the troops, bring them home to build this country in safety and peace, not endanger it and bleed it dry.)
- Alarming Rates of Cancer in Pets and Wildlife Offer Clues to Human Causes (‘Between 1975 and 1995, bladder cancer has increased sixfold in dogs’ ‘One in five sea lions has cancer of the urinary tract’ ‘One in four beluga whales dead from thyroid or neuroendocrine cancer . . . They are also having trouble reproducing.’ In this blog’s first article, Demystifying Cancer, I discussed possible causes for skyrocketing cancer (as well as possible means of cancer prevention): ‘fast-tracked’ genetically modified foods esp glyphosate-soaked GMO soy and corn, loosened regulation for carcinogenic pesticides and herbicides e.g. Roundup, increased xeno- (e,g, BPA, phthalates, atrazine) and phyto-estrogen (soy, now the leading vegetable oil) and endocrine-disruptor exposure, increased medical testing e.g. health-catastrophic, atom-bomb-like CT scans, increased presciption of carcinogenic pharmaceuticals e.g. liver-damaging statins, quadrupling of the number of ‘standard’ vaccines compared to the 1980s, omnipresent EMF from cell phones and wifi, to name some. A common ‘skeptic’s’ objection that cancer rates only seem higher because of longer lifespans was easily torpedoed in the article by the citing of astronomical child and young adult cancer rates. But perhaps an even better point to bring up would have been skyrocketing pet and wildlife cancer rates, with as many as 50% of members of some dog breeds now dying from the disease. The tiny establishment – who seek to mentally and physically degrade the rest of us and curtail our reproduction in order to hold onto power, and make maximum money while doing it – including its American Cancer Society and ilk are predictably blaming non-environmental, species-related defects in pet genetics for the increase (like do with human genetics) when pets if anything should be becoming healthier over time by hybrid vigor. So what might be the real cause in pets? Wider use of of trypsin-inhibiting wheat and GMO soy and corn in dog foods, more intensive pet vaccine schedules, higher household EMF exposure, exposure to toxic herbicides, pesticides, and estrogenic compounds, to name a few factors; many of the same new factors humans are encountering. This pollutant-induced cancer and gene-damage epidemic – not the One Worlder tax scam that is ‘climate change’ – is the number one environmental issue of our day.)
- There has been much labeling of events as fake here, and I want to be clear about exactly what that means, i.e. while what we have not seen (bodies, wounds, bullets, damage, video footage, convincing witnesses, a believable narrative, etc.) has been heavily discussed, what we are actually seeing has not, at least since the ‘Comment on Recent Events’ post. For those who have studied many of these classified training exercise events (e.g. Boston, Sandy Hook, Brussels, Nice, Orlando, Las Vegas), a relatively clear picture has emerged of the actual mechanics of the fakery. (Assuming the analyst’s openness to new paradigms,) determining what they are has not been so difficult since leaked manuals for unclassified drills, such as the media-involved shooting exercise Operation Closed Campus in the US and a number of similar bombing drills in Europe, show some of what to look for, and the task in analyzing their classified counterparts is more to confirm that that same blueprint is being followed – basically, it is – than to discover new kinds of operational techniques, although plenty of that has also occurred. The exercises typically include the following elements: A) smoke bombs or otherwise non-lethal pyrotechnics, or in the case of shootings the firing of blanks or simply the playing of gunshot noises over a loudspeaker B) fake gore e.g. blood packets and bandage wraps over non-wounds, as well as fake limb loss by existing amputees C) ‘crisis actors’ who play witnesses and family members (and perpetrators), claiming to have seen non-existent violence and known non-existent victims, whose names and faces seemingly must be drawn from some database of ‘canceled’ or ‘cancelable’ identities: 1) deceased rootless persons, including of foreign nations, or living or deceased persons who were abducted or trafficked as children, and/or 2) intelligence agents or associates (or the voluntarily disappeared e.g. those in witness protection) with multiple identities and/or foreign residence; in cases where faces are photoshopped, corresponding names can just be made up. In most of the events a handful of the fabricated identities/deaths are ‘fluffed’ into reality by surrounding them with props like tales from (fake) old friends, grieving (fake) partners and relatives, etc.; D) rapid clearing of the scene by police with a focus on prevention of videography, along with erection of partitions to block view of the alleged medical treatment area E) a number of conspicuous (non-police, non-emergency) supervisors and ‘people-directors’ on scene, identifiable by lanyard tags or color coding (e.g. ballcaps, bandanas, nearby flags, etc.). As for who the producers of these events are, the official cover is likely a clandestine NATO program that draws federal (FBI, FEMA, Intelligence Community in the US), state, and local law enforcement and emergency response agencies of participating nations into the fold of the exercise, as well as media members. The non-police and -emergency exercise participants are either intelligence agents or assets (e.g. confidential informants) or general sellouts who are kept quiet by money, blackmail, and the making of examples (as well as by a media who would never report its own crimes); there is also a pattern of drug-addled career criminals being regularly recruited, likely recently nabbed and offered a way out of long prison sentences. The ‘C.Y.A.’ justification (i.e. to avoid getting summarily strung up if they are caught) for the exercises is that maximum realism and therefore maximum preparedness cannot be achieved if the public is aware the incident is not real, with the deception of the public a necessary evil in becoming more prepared (for events that would never come); the actual motive behind the exercises by those at the highest levels is to terrorize the public, dull their ability to discern reality, and pass draconian legislation. The participants, while officially working for state and state-contracted organizations, may in some cases share allegiance to some kind of ‘dark,’ private, occult organization e.g. ‘the Illuminati,’ which might aid in maintaining secrecy. Of course, we know the West’s rulers aren’t averse to ‘mixing it up’ and actually killing in staged events, as they’ve directly and indirectly murdered tens of millions in the last century alone. But real events don’t have the same psychological value. As always, this is my personal perspective, though I do hold each of these claims to be positively (i.e. ‘additively,’ by means of exhibits of incriminating evidence) and/or deductively provable; you’re obviously free to come to your own conclusions.
- As with other of the recent manufactured events (e.g. Manchester, Barcelona), I haven’t spent much time studying the ridiculous Las Vegas US/NATO classified training exercise cast as reality. But what I do know about it is, like at Sandy Hook, Orlando, and others, we haven’t seen one live bullet hitting anything, no dust or smoke, none of the 500 gunshot victims, and no bodies (aside from one human-like figure under a sheet). Just sounds, and police and uninjured bystanders posing for photo ops. Many by now have likely seen the bizarre interviews of ‘Eric Paddock,’ the brother of ‘Steve’ (click link for highlights). At this stage the following are possibilities with regards to the ‘brothers’ and the event: A) ‘Eric’ is not Eric, just a paid actor or intel agent, and the images of ‘Marilou’ and ‘Steve’ we’ve been shown are either photos of deceased people (chosen for lack of roots and acquaintances, and possibly also photoshopped, like the fictional character Adam Lanza) or more likely, photos of overseas and/or deceased intel agents or assets, in the case of ‘Steve’ selected due to resemblance to ‘Eric,’ B) Steve as his life has been portrayed is the person now known as Eric, and the two photos we’ve seen of Steve are either of said deceased or intel-linked person picked for resemblance to ‘Eric’ (the actual Steve), a for-some-time-deceased relative of ‘Eric,’ or an intel-linked relative of ‘Eric’ living under a different identity than the name Steve Paddock; or C) Steve as a person other than Eric was real (whether or not the person known as Eric is his actual brother), but died in the casino (of suicide, overdose, heart attack; a common occurrence) or was killed there, and was at that point selected for the role of perpetrator for the drill, having nothing to do with the non-shooting. I’d leave open the remote possibility that D) the event was staged, there were multiple shooters, people actually died, etc., but there are no compelling reasons at this time to believe it was anything other than completely and totally faked, consistent with the recent mode of operations. Whichever time-wasting, complex theory turns out to be true, the ‘takeaway’ will be that Las Vegas is just another media-intel psy-op by our insane leadership.
- NYT: Preventing Mass Shootings Like the Vegas Strip Attack (Less than 24 hours after shots were allegedly fired, before the non-victims’ names have even all been read, Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times offers his exhaustive prescription for gun control. The Washington Post ran a similar article 16 hours after the event that took a reverse-psychology tact: ‘Why Congress still won’t do something about gun laws after Las Vegas.’ The alleged shooting never mattered, only the political agenda behind it. The reason why people don’t really care about these events and brush them off within minutes or hours, and why the media is already viewing the enormous and tragic (and likely fake, or at least staged; all signs are pointing strongly to fake) carnage as an afterthought before Day 1’s news cycle is even over is because subconsciously or consciously, vociferously or secretly, many people are of the mind, however vaguely, that these events are the steaming piles of BS that they are, just stunts to lever otherwise unpassable legislation (though as stated earlier, there’s always the chance they’ll go back to staging events and killing people, but indications thus far are that this was faked outright). Kristof’s article ends with the line: ‘So let’s mourn. But even more important, let’s act.’ Translation: There’s nothing to mourn, so let’s get on with it and get these pre-written laws passed.
- With 90% approval, Catalonia has ‘earned the right’ to be independent (In news other than the fake shooting: despite widespread subterfuge, violence, and intimidation (including the seizure and destruction of ballots) by the Spanish government, 90% of Catalans voted to secede from Spain yesterday, with a recorded turnout about as large as has put US presidents into office, and as large as all other recent Catalan elections. While some secession opponents boycotted this binding vote, lead-up ballot referendums (non-binding) to test support in 2012, 2014, and 2015 all came back in favor, and the latest polls of the general population were also in favor by a considerable margin. Catalonia should declare independence now, and hopefully their more representative and manageably sized government can better resist the urge to sell out to global business interests, which Spain and other large Western nations failed to do long ago.)
- Like the Sandy Hook and Orlando events where absolutely nobody died (among so many others: Boston, Manchester, Brussels, Nice, etc, etc) , the alleged Las Vegas shooting is from initial appearances yet another faked event in the never-ending US media-intel circus, a classified ‘mass casualty’ drill cast as reality; that before it’s proven to be a staged event that actually involved killing people, let alone a real shooting. Sixteen hours and an alleged 600 victims later and we have yet to see one bullet impact or the resultant smoke or dust, one deceased person or gunshot wound, just the usual (click link for slideshow): people running from something, militarized cops, a locked Wikipedia article, candles, plenty of hugging. Based on the choice of (likely fake) fully automatic weapon – already difficult and extremely expensive to obtain for the layman – the (hopefully failed) objective will be to increase surveillance and security and institute invasive mental health screening around gun purchasing, rather than seek any kind of outright ban. The indiscriminate mass shooter is, with a very small handful of exceptions, an invented character concocted in the 1970s to terrorize the public, sow mutual distrust, strip the right to own guns, and smear the domestic political scapegoat du jour, in both staged and outright faked events. There were exceedingly few mass shooters before the late 20th century, and there are exceedingly few now. Almost all since then have been produced by government, with a few copycats. In the majority of countries, where in most cases guns can readily be obtained, either legally or illegally, there has never been even one random-victim mass shooting (and the countries that have had them are with a few exceptions close US allies and mostly NATO members). The reason? Because most governments aren’t staging events in spite of the ever-present temptation to do so; probably too disorganized and busy with small-time schemes. Serial killers are real, and kill one by one. Organized crime and domestic-dispute multiple-killers are (in most cases) obviously real. The ‘active,’ indiscriminate mass shooter is not, at least on any kind of significant scale. What is in reality a once or thrice a year phenomenon globally has been pumped up by governments -chiefly our own and a few others – into a dozens per year epidemic. So no, this doesn’t mean ‘everything is fake,’ it means a few governments are each staging (on average) a few events per year to manufacture a new type of threat, for a potentially massive social and political payoff. The real killings continue to happen daily but unfortunately only get a passing glance, if any at all. UPDATE: ̶2̶4̶ 4̶8̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶s̶ 8 days after the shooting, 1 of 588 casualties (an apparently humanoid figure covered by a sheet) has been documented).
- Flashback Feb 2016: Behind the Scenes at Europe’s Biggest Disaster Drill (‘Over the next four days, some 2,000 blood-covered volunteers will act as ‘victims,’ with fake sliced limbs and open wounds recreating the blood and gore of such a large-scale incident.’)
- Donald Trump says Puerto Rico is ‘an island surrounded by big water’ (Yesterday I was questioned on my heavily qualified support for Donald Trump last year, relative to Hillary. Some post-election commentary has been added to the article in question. Trump is an embarrassment to our country, but Hillary is also a disgrace. Given the two parties’ more or less equal policy outcomes, I’d rather have an ass in office than a smooth-talking (to others; to me a teleprompted buffoon) corporatist warmonger like Obama (who had his own ‘okey doke’ ‘can’t hear myself’ and ‘hold up’ blunders); and mentally dilapidated Hillary surely would have had many such misfires by now and been no less embarrassing. The current leadership of this country deserves to be utterly humiliated, and then unseated. Who wants to lend dignity and gravitas to an abusive system run by evil people? Stockholm syndrome anyone?)
- Having been in many parts of Catalonia, I do not recall seeing one – not even one – Spanish flag outside a government building, but saw thousands upon thousands of Catalonian flags. I did not meet one person who voiced support for Spanish rule or ‘unity,’ anytime the subject of Catalonian otherness came up. The latest polls of likely voters have secession winning upwards of 70-30. We supposedly live under a social contract (that no one ever saw or signed), so surely its terms can be rightfully renegotiated by the groups of people who (supposedly) created it in the first place, as long as no basic human rights are identifiably violated in doing so? And if that (unsigned, invisible) contract can’t be re-negotiated, then we’re not participants in some new democratic age, only pawns at the mercy of an imperial establishment. The lame last-minute false flag attack blamed on a crazed ‘leave’ supporter won’t be enough, so unless Spanish troops openly block the vote, secession will happen and hopefully inspire the dozens of similar movements elsewhere. If it doesn’t, you’ll know the vote was rigged. The Catalonian people are not fighting the Spanish government per se, but the global power structure, who is concerned with the following: that Catalonia A) will not agree to pay Spain’s debts B) will not adopt a debt-based currency C) will not support the West’s wars, and D) will not sign onto other parts of its agenda (security theater and mass surveillance, legalization of GMO foods and pollutant pesticides, mandatory vaccines, etc.). Scotland presented the same risk. The more moving parts in the Western imperial machine, the higher the chance of a breakdown.
- The ‘take-a-knee’ craze, like every corporate media theme, is a managed campaign for which pro athletes are being wittingly or unwittingly co-opted. Like ‘Pizzagate,’ it’s a controlled treatment of a real problem. The craze will soon pass, and the issue of profiling/targeting and other mistreatment will presumably be ‘over with.’ I have several retired and active police in my family who are good people, but racism continues to be a problem in policing. Recently I accompanied a Hispanic friend (who had been pulled over for a bogus ‘unsecured load’ violation, an easy way to harass contractors) to court to help translate. While in court I thought of the knee thing and made a count. There were 40 people there; 13 black (32.5%), 12 Hispanic, apparently immigrants (30%). Whites were around 30-35%, with one or two of other ethnicities constituting the remainder. I’d never done such a count, but from past experiences the ethnic composition didn’t seem unusual. The court was in a town that is 88% non-Hispanic white, 4.5% Hispanic and 2% black. The town where most of the tickets were written is 95% white, 2.5% Hispanic, and 1% black. All of the surrounding towns are <5% Hispanic and <2.5% black. From my observation, blacks and Hispanic immigrants drive just as well as whites, and while they may have a higher incidence of vehicle violations, even a (reasonably) far higher incidence would be nowhere near enough to account for this discrepancy. It's not my desire to stir up anything (and I wish this was indeed over with), but the mainstream right-wing talking point and attitude of 'that was then this is now' with regards to prejudice against minorities is a lie that needs fact-based countering; trite, divisive stunts like the knee won't lead to any change.
- Trump Vows to ‘Get Nasty’ on ISIS Following London Bombing (Trump could have taken out the remnants of the West-funded ISIS mercenary government in Syria on week one, but they’re still there, since removing Assad and pitting both ISIS and the Al Qaeda ‘rebels’ against him has always been the real objective. As for the eyebrow-singer ‘bomb’ a la Uncle Leo, so far all we’ve seen is a mostly intact plastic bucket, and an alleged victim with some ashes sprinkled in his hair. Another day, another drill cast as reality. The goal always the same: to steal your liberties and gradually dull your critical faculties; believe in these and you’ll eventually come to believe whatever the TV may tell you.)
- To weigh in on the Confederate statue incidents, should they come down? Yes, since the Confederacy was not just or worthy of celebration. But the Union wasn’t either. Lincoln’s project to federalize the states and disregard the nation’s most essential agreement (which unfortunately did not account for melanated people) was quickly and predictably turned over to the banking and business interests who probably had him killed and who own this country today. In the wake of the Civil War came debt-currency enslavement of the whole population, black and white alike, tens of millions dead in hundreds of military conflicts and ‘kinetic actions,’ with nearly a billion (over 300 million in Laos and Iraq alone) bombs dropped onto innocents worldwide, and most recently the conversion of the West into police and surveillance states, all brought by US imperialism. There is no doubt whatsoever that slavery would have been abolished anyway in a decade or three (as it had been or later was in the UK, Brazil, and everywhere else), and this monster might not have been created. So while a bad government lost the war, good certainly didn’t win. If we take down Robert E. Lee’s statues, we should do the same to those of Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Truman, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush, Obama, and all the other horrible ‘leaders’ who have terrorized the world and systematically dismantled Americans’ liberties, if one is able to look past the veneer of uncritical flag-waving. The US does have some redeeming qualities, and I hope (expect? no) the government can reform itself and cease menacing the planet; I’m just putting its surreal claims of moral exceptionalism into proper context. Setting all this aside, the statue campaign is not the organic societal development being portrayed. It is a transparent operation by the US media and its affiliates: the intel-linked, paid protest groups. I don’t oppose the statue removal, but almost want to on the principle that the continued delusion of the entire population might be worse than a few statues in a few places standing for a few more years, before the inevitable removal that would have come anyway.
- Barcelona had all the earmarks, and now ISIS is taking credit: just another stop on the World Fake Terror Tour. Analyzing the particulars of each of these classified-NATO-emergency-drills-cast-as-reality is a waste of time; call out the BS to yourselves and others and move on.
- Take a look at these photos (click this link) and YouTube ‘witness’ interview (/watch?v=TujKcCxjHWA) from the engineered Charlottesville protests. What you are seeing are bad actors meant to stoke ethnic divisions and keep the public off balance. Most of the photos linked are of the same 10 or 20 people. Are these intel staffers about to get sent back overseas? Perhaps foreigners working for the State Department? Or maybe just low-budget stooges from Craigslist who don’t care if they’re on TV. I mean come on, Tiki torches? It’s like there was some backroom meeting (and there probably was) with the goal of maximally mocking both white nationalists (a sector along with neo-Nazism whose leadership has long been infested with and at this point is likely almost entirely comprised of federal cointel agents, who then try to associate with non-racist movements and sully them) and gullible Americans who would believe this is all real. Then there’s Google and YouTube blocking all but a single video angle of the alleged car attack, the lines of gleaming white tour buses for transporting protesters, the ‘Crowds on Demand’ mass casting call for ‘peaceful protesters’ a few hours away. All events the media dwells on are managed or outright fabricated, with more or less pre-written scripts. Unmanipulated events are ignored or get a passing glance. People are essentially watching a 24/7 movie (that consists largely of fake terror, ‘politics’ i.e. the Washington Wrestling Federation, and indirect corporate advertisement), and many, albeit a rapidly falling number, are mistaking it for reality. Sure, there may have been a small gaggle of bona fide racists and neo-Nazis who showed up at Charlottesville, (as well as people protesting for whatever other reasons the contrived, inorganic campaign to remove the statue), but make no mistake, the event would never have happened if not for the media-intel complex and their endless machination against the American people.
- ‘Homeland Security’ Warning to Guam Residents: Don’t Look at Flash or Fireball (The notion that Kim Jong Un would actually attack Guam of all places is eons into the absurd. Guam has no natural resources, very low population, and a limited military presence. In exchange for their pin prick North Korea would face immense civilian casualties and incineration of all significant political, economic, and military targets. To me this article reads like the following: A) this is another distraction from domestic affairs or B) the US may be conducting a classified nuclear weapons test on or near Guam and then blame the detonation on North Korea and attack them, possibly as another ‘play chicken’ move against China, part of a strategy with which the Chinese and even North Korean governments may or may not ultimately be complicit (i.e. that they, along potentially with Russia, are working with governments of the West to play their role as antagonists, either in some kind of engineered, ‘cold’ military standoff or ‘hot’ conflict, in order to spur some kind of global political or financial transformation, or just to keep the military-industrial gravy train going full steam). Anyone who believes this could be anything other than staged, and that there is a ‘madman’ intent on attacking Guam, needs to commit himself for corporate-media-induced psychosis. Prior symptoms of this illness may include believing that Bashar al Assad has been attacking his own people with chemical weapons, and that Osama bin Laden died and was buried at sea in 2011.)
- Arguing from the perspective that the US government should have a standing military at all, which I don’t and many founders of this country did not support, I agree with Trump’s decision on non-recognition of transgenderism in the military. Homo- and bi-sexuality have existed since prehistory and are observable in the animal kingdom. Physical or surgical transgenderism is new, and if there is no exogenous chemical impetus for it (e.g. estrogen mimickers like that in the infamous ‘gay frogs’ case; the class of compounds surely responsible for the more than halving of sperm and testosterone levels over the last few decades alone) then transgenderism is (apparently) only the recently technologically enabled, extreme fulfillment of a fantasy, akin to someone who surgically transforms him- or herself into a cat or vampire lookalike: no gender or species change has actually taken place. Gender cannot be chosen or ‘identified,’ and is given at birth; surgeries, injections, and self-declarations cannot alter it. While transgender people (so-called, since no cross-gender movement is occurring) are due all existing Constitutional rights and protections as individual human beings, the gay, bisexual, and born-anatomically-intersex communities would serve themselves well to draw a line in the sand on advocacy for the legal institution of transgenderism (i.e., mandates to pay for operations, change signage or school or workplace practices, etc.), so as to not to open Pandora’s box and undermine their relatively tenuous social and political gains. Certainly, ‘transgender’ people can be loved, loving, and valuable members of society, but this is a question of the recognition of biological realities before fantasy or psychiatric confusion, however deep and persistent. Regarding bathrooms, as long as you are making some effort to pass for whichever gender, no one will care if you’re in there.

It debunks the mainstream ‘black history’ taught in schools, an establishment invention of the 1970s, and proves that the enslaved ancestors of black Americans were native to the Americas, not Africa, were here before Columbus, and were conquered and enslaved by white Europeans and later recast as ‘African Americans;’ that the trans-Atlantic slave trade essentially never happened, that the aboriginal people of all continents were and are (except for in Europe, where they no longer exist) black, including unsurpassedly ‘advanced’ civilizations such as the Egyptians and Mayans, and that light-skinned peoples, relative latecomers to history, have conspired to hide these facts.*
- There is much to criticize about the nation, but it recently came to my attention that North Korea may have the world’s sanest drug policy, at least in practice. Plants like marijuana are (effectively) legal and unregulated there, not considered drugs at all, and synthetic, lab-derived drugs are illegal. As a thought exercise, try splitting so-called drugs into natural and synthetic categories. Natural ‘drugs’: tobacco, alcoholic beverages, marijuana, tea, coffee, coca or khat leaves, psilocybin mushrooms, peyote, unprocessed opium. Aside from alcohol and tobacco, the latter in terms of health costs, have you ever heard of significant crime or other identifiable, quantifiable societal detriment from the use of these plants? Now consider synthetic, manmade drugs: psychotropic pharmaceuticals, meth, cocaine, steroids, heroin and synthetic opiates, inhalants, synthetic marijuana, bath salts, PCP, acid. The difference is glaring. While I’m not a big user of marijuana or other currently illegal drugs, I believe people have the right to consume any substances they want. But in today’s world, where we are under active attack by ‘our own’ shadow government via their long-running campaign to import and promote the worst of synthetic drugs (among the many other vectors of assault- physical, psychological and spiritual- by these dark elements), the people may need temporary legal protection. The prescription is simple: ban all (non-medical) synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs, potentially including all non- institutional psychotropic pharma applications, and legalize all plants and natural substances.
- Whether or not you’re aware, there is a major wave of censorship happening right now on YouTube and other video platforms. Many channels are receiving sudden, apparently groundless ‘strikes’ for ‘violations of Community Guidelines’ and being terminated, often having hundreds of videos permanently deleted without warning, and are even being terminated on supposed ‘alternative’ sharing sites like vidme. Two examples are ‘The Paustal Service,’ a leading investigator on 9/11 and Sandy Hook among many other events (who I don’t agree with on all points, but who has been one of the best overall channels on YouTube) and ‘Barry Soetoro’ (who I also don’t support on all fronts, but who produced what is one of the best videos exposing Sandy Hook as a play-acted hoax in which no one died, where he proved that actor David Wheeler played the roles of both grieving father of fake child Ben Wheeler – an invented character based on (what may be Wheeler’s) old family photos – and an FBI tactical officer. Piecemeal memory-holing like this has happened before, but this latest round seems more aggressive. Viewers should be aware that YouTube is an extension of the intelligence community and not a free platform, and ‘content creators’ should consider creating their own websites to act as at least a backup information source.
- AFP: At least two dead in ‘potential terrorist attack’ (The Hegelian dialectical method again emerges. Thesis: [There was a fatal attack] that was a terrorist event. Antithesis: [there was a fatal attack] that was only a potential terrorist event. Synthesis: [there was a fatal attack] the nature of which was initially unknown, but was found to be a terrorist attack. That there was no (real) attack at all is shoved out of the discourse, and a false A-B choice inserted.)
- Metropolitan Police Warn Londoners to ‘Run, Hide, and Tell’ (Run and hide from the invisible terrorist bogeyman. Tell on your Muslim neighbor (when there has not been a single non-staged terrorist event in the West by a Muslim in all of history.) Looks like yet another stop on the 4-year World Fake Terror Tour that started with the Boston ‘mass casualty’ drill non-bombing.)
- Washington Post: UK Says Manchester bomber likely had accomplices (Before moving on from the Manchester incident, I’ll reiterate a point I’ve made before. The linked article exemplifies an oft used disinformation technique known as Hegelian dialectical method. The truth about this event is that there was no bomb, no bomber, no victims. It appears it was yet another classified emergency exercise cast as reality. To distract from the truth the media sets up a thesis: [there was a fatal bombing] and it was committed by one terrorist. It then sets up an antithesis to its own thesis: [there was a fatal bombing] and there may have been more than one bomber. Finally, it puts forth a synthesis to resolve its own thesis and antithesis, that [there was a fatal bombing] and an investigation found only one bomber committed it, though for a brief time it was believed there might have been multiple bombers. Restricting discourse on the event within these false bounds keeps most people from considering that there was no bombing at all.)
- Corporate Media: Suicide Bomber Attacks Manchester Arena (Pantsless, bemused victims with no serious injuries, or even any injuries, beneath their shredded garments, moping bystanders bumbling around wrapped in mylar blankets, militarized police mugging for photo ops, partitions manically assembled to block view of the alleged crime scene by non-insiders. Certainly another hoax; what I’d wager to be just the latest in a long series of classified NATO emergency response exercises cast to the public as reality in the name of preparedness, along with Nice, Brussels, Munich, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, and all the others. How do I know? Because you learn to spot these staged and faked terror events after a while, and because not a single one (i.e. Muslim-perpetrated terrorist event in the West) in modern history has not been staged or managed, so the odds of continued trickery dramatically increase with every new incident. Again, nothing to see here but literal security theater carried out to steal your money, your liberties, and your mind; and no, that’s not a nod to thoroughly outed disinfo agent Alex Jones.)
- Sean Spicer Says Assad’s Chemical-Weapons Atrocities Worse Than Hitler’s (Spicer is implying the US has never used chemical weapons. Did he forget about the US military’s use of Agent Orange, which led to the severe injury, death, and even genetic harm of millions of Vietnamese? Or the widespread chemical weapons use in World War I? Or that the US provided Iraq with chemical weapons, later known as WMDs, that Iraq used to kill one million Iranians including hundreds of thousands of civilians? Or even the ongoing, regular mass-spraying of Americans with brain-damaging aluminum and barium particulate? (If you think chemtrails aren’t real, see the speech on stratospheric injection by ex-CIA Director John Brennan, or the film Skyscratch.) This administration and at least the last several before it have had zero credibility and zero moral authority when it comes to foreign policy. It’s time for the US government to stop insulting the intelligence of the American people with these obviously staged events, and making a fool of itself to the rest of the world.)
- Last year the US dropped 26,171 bombs on foreign nations (and those are only the publicly acknowledged strikes), in an oft cited statistic. That’s 71 bombs per day. Syria dropped zero bombs on foreign nations last year. At a conservative estimate of one civilian death per bomb, the US, assuming the pace has held, killed as many innocents- including women, children, and yes, babies- in the last 24 hours as ‘Assad’ (i.e. the Western-intel false-flag operators who staged the event) supposedly killed during the same period of time. And today they will kill as many, and tomorrow, and every other day this year, on average. Meanwhile Trump is calling for ‘civilized countries’ to unite against the Syrian government. According to Trump that wouldn’t seem to include Iran, who hasn’t bombed or otherwise attacked any other nation for over 250 years, longer than the US has existed, but has suffered over one million deaths, many civilians, many from chemical weapons, at the hands of the US military and its proxies. So there are four possibilities to consider with regard to Trump: 1) he’s a card-carrying insider who is furthering the Mideast destabilization agenda, 2) he’s not a true insider and knew it was staged but begrudgingly buckled to said agenda, 3) he’s an idiot who got played, and 4) the apologist view (maybe right, though wouldn’t hold breath): he’s not a true insider and attacked as a ‘do-something’ gesture that was token but also dissonant given the low target value and limited scope of targeting, thereby intentionally sending mixed messages and signaling unpredictability to both supporters and opponents. Time will soon tell, or may have already.
- NYT: US Said to Weigh Military Responses to Syrian Chemical Attack (Like the incubator baby hoax, the staged ‘red line’ chemical attack, the fake ISIS beheadings, and countless other incidents, the Syria event was just another transparent false flag dirty trick. Cui bono: who benefits most? Western imperialist elements who seek to perpetually destabilize the region. Who benefits least? Assad aka the democratically elected government of Syria. As usual it was Western intel behind the event, fooling (in other cases fighting) its own militaries. Weren’t that clear enough, we can actually see allegedly dead victims opening their eyes (and in other footage laughing), while being handled by mask/gloves-free bystanders. It’s time to turn off the TV and tune out the media lies, as many already have. If airports and corporate gyms would just turn off CNN, few people would even be exposed to these machinations. Supposing that Assad for unknown reasons wanted to indiscriminately kill civilians, he could easily do so with conventional weapons. That anyone could be so gullible (to put it lightly) as to again buy this played-out WMD ruse boggles the mind. But I haven’t seen any evidence outside the media echo chamber that anyone does.)
- Re: London, there’s little point even calling BS on these so-called terror events (i.e., what appear in most cases to be classified, NATO emergency drills cast as reality) anymore. The West has never once had a major, real terrorist attack by Muslims. Every event including the 1993 WTC bombing, 9/11, the 7/7 attacks, Madrid subway bombings, Charlie Hebdo, the Boston bombings, San Bernardino, the Nice and Berlin truck attacks, etc etc, has been staged (where some people actually died) or faked outright (where nobody did). Muslim terrorism in the West is a wholly manufactured phenomenon meant to justify the implementation of a police and surveillance state including the monitoring of all financial transactions, and eventually lead to a ban on cash. And like Communism that preceded it, it’s also meant to keep the citizenry fearful and off-balance.
- MSNBC Anchor: “Our Job is to Control Exactly What People Think” (Yesterday ‘Morning Joe’ anchor Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the notorious ‘easier to kill than control’ Zbigniew, said, “I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job.” Undermined. The. Messaging. ‘The messaging,’ meaning of one nature and from one source. News has reports, and occasionally opinions. Propaganda has messages. An open acknowledgement that so-called mainstream news media are not journalistic organizations, but quasi-state propaganda outlets that admittedly intend to micro-manage your thoughts, quickly passed over and forgotten in favor of the next day’s ‘news cycle.’ ‘Mainstream media,’ zero of whom have covered this, are not credible sources, and they do not determine what reality is.)
- Trump Calls the News Media the Enemy of the American People (Trump’s comment was not anti-free speech, it was anti-propaganda. The media outlets mentioned by Trump do not conduct journalism, nor have they ever. They have existed solely to propagandize the American people under the cover of news reporting, though most of their employees are well intentioned people who are compartmentalized and in general unaware of the sinister agenda at the chief editorial and executive levels. Trump’s statement did not go far enough; the so-called mainstream media, or more broadly and accurately the media-intelligence complex aka the shadow government (whether it’s rogue elements or in some way institutional) is not just any enemy but the greatest enemy of the American people; no one else comes close. That’s not to say I’m eager to see what Trump would replace it with, but his point stands.)
- Oroville Dam Spillway Expected to Fail (Will the Oroville Dam-bursting be the ‘never again’ / ‘never forget’ infrastructure 9/11? One trillion dollars, most of which would end up in private hands, rides on a surge in public support for massive infrastructure spending. I’m not saying we don’t need to repair some infrastructure. I’m not at all claiming the dam was made to fail since I haven’t yet seen a shred of evidence to suggest that’s the case, and it may well just be an accident. But the timing is worth noting. And such a plan is one of the only things that might stave off the damage or ‘carnage’ from the long overdue bursting of the US stock bubble, though only to make the overarching Dollar/T-Bond bubble all the bigger.)
- Forbes: Will Trump’s Stupid Economics Crash the Stock and Bond Market? (George W. Bush should have overseen a major recession followed by extremely modest growth at best, and steady decline at worst. Instead the Fed pumped up the market with subprime lending. Barack Obama should have presided over the worst economy in US history, worse than the Great Depression, for most or all of his administration. Instead, the Fed unleashed endless quantitative easing and Obama added $11 trillion in debt to stave off our problems and artificially stimulate the economy, and called it a recovery. The Fed’s ‘bag of tricks’ is getting light, and if they find Trump disagreeable and want to crash the market they can do so instantly by raising rates. Trump and populism may be left holding the bag, but as discussed in the most recent post, this crisis has its roots in the mid-1990s (when bona fide, stable internet growth morphed into a mania that had to be tempered by the recession of 2001), if not in the institution of fake, fiat US currency in 1971. When this crash comes it will have been baked in the cake and have nothing to do with Trump. But the media propaganda machine is in full gear preparing to blame him, with Huffington Post today warning of ‘The Coming Trump Financial Crash.’)
- To keep this in perspective: citizens of 7 out of 53 majority-Muslim countries will not be able to travel to the US over a 90-day period. While virtually all terrorism in the West is staged or faked, Saudi Arabia (mainly from the non-existent hijackers of 9/11) and Pakistan top the list of (so-called) terrorist-contributing nations, and neither are on the list, which seems strange, though this could be explained by the relatively deep immigration (Pakistan) and economic (Saudi Arabia) ties these countries have long had with the US. It has now come out that green card holders from these seven countries who don’t have ties to terrorist groups in the Middle East will be allowed to reside in the US and freely travel, so no US citizens and exceedingly few residents have been affected. Ideally the administration would use the opportunity to cancel the residency of all the scumbags who work with intelligence agencies to stage terrorist events, as well as the mentally ill patsies who act as fall guys in the events, and also to destroy all traces of (Western-intel-manufactured-and-managed) ISIS in Iraq and Syria, along with (West/US-armed-trained-and-funded) Al Qaeda groups in Syria and Libya. Were the 60-year destabilization project in the Middle East (and America) to be put offline, secular governments there could finally re-stabilize their societies and keep a tight grip on radical elements. But again, given inertia from past policy and the troubling history of some of the administration’s key players, I can’t say I’m too optimistic.
- The travel ban issue is very complex. Green card holders have already been ‘vetted,’ essentially promised a path to citizenship, and fully established their new lives in the US. You can’t pull the rug out now (especially based on fake terrorism). As for refugees, the US started all the wars that led to there being any. Even ‘economic refugees’ are largely the product of Western meddling, the colonial and post-colonial exploitation of Africa. It is a perverse situation where the West creates tens of millions of refugees and then has to absorb all of them; though the responsibility lies on the unaccountable government and the special interests that have owned it, not the people being asked to pay for it all. Whether or not we allow in existing cases, we need to stop the further hemorrhaging of people fleeing foreign countries by ceasing all Middle Eastern and Latin American intervention. The political establishment supports the unlimited production of refugees and their introduction into the West so that they will destabilize societies and gradually outpace native citizens in population. In addition, they know that many refugees will become dependent on government benefits and from then on will reliably vote for the welfare state i.e. the Democratic Party establishment. Lastly, allowing refugees from countries with high incidence of terrorism provides them a plausible backstory for staging terror events. Regarding the national security implications, virtually all Islamic terrorist events of the last 25 years (in the West) have been staged or faked outright, and there is no threat of real Islamic (or any other kinds of) terrorism here. Trump’s iron-fisted approach could be an effective if sloppy way to short-circuit the establishment’s push for refugee acceptance, as long it is part of a plan to end destablization in the Middle East and elsewhere (e.g. eradicate ISIS and Al Qaeda ‘rebel’ groups from territories they control within 90 days, then readmit re-vetted immigrants within that time window). Whether that’s in fact what he’s trying to do or his plan is just something wrongheaded, it remains to be seen. The green card revocation could be the only quick way to shake out the intelligence asset rats who (along with mentally ill patsies) make up what has passed for a terrorist enemy. American citizens have not been mistreated and no one has been physically harmed. I say we see how this plays out before jumping to conclusions.
- Iran says to ban U.S. visitors in retaliation to Trump move (Yet another reminder that Iran has existed as a nation for 3,000 uninterrupted years, and has attacked no nation for over 250 years. Meanwhile it has been under ceaseless economic and military assault by the US government since 1953, at a loss of over 1 million Iranian lives. I’d also like to point out that the most traveled people in the world, those who have been to all countries, rank the Iranian people as among the ‘best’ (often #1), kindest, and most hospitable people on Earth. Any ostensibly defensive move against Iran will thus have to be precipitated by a staged event, the norm for US foreign policy. Even including staged terrorist events, there hasn’t been a single incident involving an Iranian or their government as far as I am aware. The shameful, pro-war propaganda against Iran needs to end. We’ll see if Trump may be using the 90-day ban to ‘figure out what’s going on’ and wrap up the long-running campaign of staged events and Middle East destabilization by the US deep state, though I can’t say I’ll hold my breath.)
- Green Card Holders Included in Trump Ban (I disagree with the order, particularly re: green card holders. These people were already vetted and have established themselves and their families in the US. The main reason though is that human beings who were put on this planet have an inalienable right to walk where they want on it (if they are peaceful and support themselves). Another is that radical Islamic terrorism is not ‘a [real] thing’ (in Western countries; only in the Middle East, where there is actual, contentious geopolitical conflict). It virtually never happened in the West until 1993 (the year of the FBI informant-perpetrated WTC bombing), exactly when Communism finished falling. At that point the Islamic Terrorist needed to be set up as the West’s new bogeyman. If you believe the countless staged events blamed on Muslims since then (most of them under Obama, in number if not gravity) have been genuine, or don’t but have not voiced your disbelief in them to others, you have to place some blame for this outcome on yourself, since you helped create the monster that is Islamophobia. Chickens, home, roost. If these events were real, and they weren’t, Trump’s policy wouldn’t be all that unreasonable. Whether or not he himself believes that they were real (and he well may), he has to bow to that myth in order to be America’s president; or does he?)
- NPR: Facebook Tweaks Its ‘Trending Topics’ Algorithm To Better Reflect Real News (‘The new algorithm would make hoax articles . . . getting no coverage from legitimate news media . . . less likely to trend because it will look at “the number of publishers that are posting articles on Facebook about the same topic,” Facebook says.’ In other words, only approved propaganda themes of the media-intelligence complex (which includes NPR) will be put in front of you. Viewpoints and reports that are against establishment interests will never ‘trend.’ It’s time to permanently ditch Facebook and Google.)
- Google Permanently Bans 200 ‘Fake News’ Sites (Are ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, HuffPo, Salon, Fox News, etc. etc. etc. on here? The ones who have been helping engineer staged and fake events, and foisting a false, pro-establishment worldview onto Americans for decades? Yeah, I didn’t think so.)
- Dow Hits 20,000 for First Time (This is what ‘irrational exuberance’ i.e. ill-founded investor euphoria looks like. No matter how good a job the government is able to do at softening the baked-in blow by promoting investment and growth, the market is going to crash by at least 40-50%, and eventually 60-80% or more (unless a world war or other global disaster occurs). Maybe not be for a couple months or years, but sometime soon. It may be obscured by inflation, but the loss of purchasing power in terms of stocks will occur. If you have held stocks for a long time you should count yourself lucky and convert the bulk or all of it into other assets including private equity, income-producing real estate, and USDs or other monies. If 80% sounds crazy, recall that the Nikkei crashed 82% following the early 90s Japanese stock mania, and is now 50% off its all-time high of 26 years ago. And before Japan’s latest bubble reinflation began in 2009, it stood 79% below its 1991 high.)
- *Great primer on Pizzagate by (the only, as far as I know) intrepid and hard-hitting ‘mainstream’ news anchor Ben Swann. Swann also has an independent Youtube channel which I encourage you to check out. This segment will be sure to get more people talking about Pizzagate and the broader, (at least) decades-long epidemic of child sex abuse, trafficking, and murder at the highest levels of politics, business, and the media.* Update: CBS46 News has removed the video of the segment from their website, and Google has delisted Swann’s upload of the video from Youtube search results. Update #2 (thirteen days later): the link is now dead since Swann’s Facebook page, which had over 500k followers, has been deleted, as has his Truth in Media website, YouTube page, and Twitter and Instagram accounts. Additionally, Swann has not appeared on CBS since this report. A mirrored YouTube video is here: /watch?v=oBSvUlkB61s.
- US Navy Ships Fire Warning Shots at Iranian Vessels (What are our ships doing in the Persian Gulf just off the coast of Iran aka Persia, trolling a major military power? Is this what we call defending America? The biggest geopolitical danger of a Trump presidency appears to be a false flag attack blamed on Iran. We know it will never be a real attack for two reasons: 1) The US has been harassing Iran non-stop for the past 70 years. ‘We’ (i.e. the political establishment) overthrew their democratic government in 1953 and installed CIA-trained secret police who murdered tens of thousands of dissidents from 1953-1979, we gave Iraq chemical weapons aka WMDs who used them to invade Iran and kill over a million Iranians from 1980-1989, and we crippled their economy with sanctions through the 90s 00s and this decade, and threatened them repeatedly (Bush, ‘Axis of Evil,’ McCain ‘ba-ba-ba- bomb-bomb-Iran,’ Romney ‘I won’t need Congress to bomb Iran,’ Obama ‘[unprovoked] nuclear attack on Iran not off the table,’ Hillary ‘we can completely obliterate them’). Staging an event would be par for the course. 2) Iran has existed as a single nation for over 3,000 years, has not attacked any nation for almost 250 years, and has nothing to gain and everything to lose from an attack.)
- The Atlantic: What Their Reactions to Monday’s Attacks Reveal About Trump and Obama (Yet again we have the ridiculous ‘admit it’s Islamic terrorism’ theme playing out in both the so-called mainstream and (controlled) ‘alternative’ media. I’m going to explain the reason behind this. The idea is to superimpose a false dichotomy on a real one. In terms of journalistic duty, the real dichotomy when a newsworthy event occurs is to (first) establish A) was this event real, i.e. did it happen as reported or B) was it fake, did it not happen as reported. If the event is clearly fake, the task is to determine A) was it staged, i.e. was it physically real but mischaracterized, misattributed, or otherwise manipulated or B) was it a hoax, i.e. did it not happen at all or did it happen in a fundamentally different way than authorities claimed or initial appearances indicated. Manufacturing discourse around possibility A distracts from any and all consideration of possibility B. The discussion then becomes A1) was this (presumed-real) event Islamic terrorism or A2) was it (real and) something other than terrorism. The idea that the event might be fake on some level, which applies to the overwhelming majority of alleged acts of Islamic terrorism including this one, is pushed out of the discourse altogether. Whether or not he believes otherwise (and I’m not assuming he does), Trump must bow to the media-intel complex and only recognize possibility A if he wants to (peacefully) play in the American political sandbox. As for this event: magic passport, check, ‘ISIS’ credit-taking, check, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ check, lack of photo or video footage of event, check, unconcerned, laughing cops and security on scene, check.)
- Center for American Progress Focuses on Anti-Trump Electoral College Efforts (The CAP is leading the effort for a coup to overthrow the American electoral system. The profoundly sick people (as evidenced by the Pizzagate scandal) who hold central roles in this organization need to be investigated now and at the very least never again allowed anywhere near our political system.)
- *Some of the key evidence for the very real Pizzagate scandal (branded as ‘fake news’ by the lying news media propaganda outlets) is covered in this short video (excuse the somewhat eerie narration style), which has been de-listed from Google and Youtube and banned by Facebook*
- Over 60% of Arrested Anti-Trump Protesters Were From Out of State, Didn’t Vote (Last week it was discovered that dozens of gleaming tour buses were transporting demonstrators with professionally made signs from city to city to protest Trump. Some who were being interviewed by CNN and other networks were obvious actors. Unsurprisingly we now learn that the majority who have been arrested are from out of state. Who is engineering and paying for all this? I guess they are also paying to put these people up in hotels (and probably giving them a healthy partying budget)? While there’s plenty of real antipathy towards Trump, the riots and protests in the ‘news’ are mostly an astro-turf resistance meant to put Trump off-balance and on the defensive leading up to his inauguration.)
- WikiLeaks: Podesta and Other High-Level Democratic Party Insiders Are Members of a Child-Sex and Sex-Trafficking Ring (I mentioned a few posts down that high-level members of the power structure are not uncommonly involved in pedophilia and bizarre, apparently Satanic rituals, e.g. at Bohemian Grove where mock child sacrifice is practiced. Though completely blacked-out by the corporate media propaganda outlets, it has just been revealed that John Podesta’s emails contain numerous blatant code words: ‘pizza’ ‘pasta’ ‘walnuts’ ‘map’ and ‘handkerchiefs,’ among others, all references to child sex, as well as clear evidence of specific planned and completed acts with pre-pubescent children: youtube.com/watch?v=GtuY-JRdiG8 . Additionally, Podesta and his brother appear to have abducted 3-year-old Madeleine McCann from Portugal. They are known predatory pedophiles, they regularly visit Portugal, and they bear a truly uncanny resemblance to the sketches of the two suspects. This is a big reason why Trump won the election. Many people simply don’t want these profoundly sick SOBs (most of whom should be strung-up in the public square ASAP, or locked up for life) running our country anymore, personal partisanship notwithstanding. Whether or not Trump will actually make a significant pivot away from the rotten, kakistocratic establishment remains to be seen.)
- Clinton campaign chairman Podesta: ‘She is not done yet’ (Trump has multi-point leads in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania with over 99% reporting. The election is over, Trump won. If the Democratic Party nominated the people’s choice, Bernie Sanders, things might well have been different, but undemocratic, unelected ‘superdelegates,’ blackmail, and DNC-leak murders won the day and they chose a career criminal corporatist warmonger who ‘deserved it’ instead. Hard lesson to learn. (Insert ‘Bern’ hashtag.) In terms of her likeability or lack thereof, it was not dissimilar to the Republican Party’s ‘safe’ nomination of Romney in 2012 in place of Ron Paul, who had gained great momentum and polled best with independents but was declared unelectable by RNC insiders. To be clear, I wasn’t at all a fan of much of Bernie Sanders’s domestic economic policy or (big-government, as opposed to community-based) socialist self-identification, but liked his foreign and trade policy stance, which is about all a Democratic President could control with the majority-Republican Congress we were heading towards. And even some aspects of his domestic policy are arguably necessary until and unless our Fed-enabled cronyist economy (which establishment Republicans pretend is free-market) can be reformed to a genuine free-market system.)
- It’s very simple: just take the aluminum, mercury, sterilants, and cancer viruses out of vaccines, and people might not be so wary of them. Until then, they have every reason to decline to be a guinea pig, and not to trust vaccine manufacturers. Children born in the 1980s received 4-5x fewer vaccines across a wider timeframe, and there were no major outbreak incidents, yet the massive schedules get bigger and more condensed every decade.
- Once again, the Kavanaugh accusations are problematic. I try to avoid certain topics on this blog, but if Swetnick (a 19-year-old college student attending parties thrown by juniors in high school) were so horrified and threatened by whatever went on at the likely embellished or made-up parties, why would she return to them ‘more than ten times’? If the punch really contained date-rape drugs and not just alcohol, would she merely ‘avoid it’ rather than warn the police or at least other girls? Wouldn’t that knowledge make her an accessory to many rapes, and wouldn’t she technically also be guilty of statutory rape of 16-year olds? As for the alleged activities, assuming they’re not largely or entirely fictional (or some kind of ‘composite’ event a la Obama biographies), I have heard of teen girls and women heavily drinking alcohol voluntarily and knowingly and doing things they regret, and I have heard of teen girls and women having sex with multiple boys/men voluntarily. In most cases I would venture that these aren’t rapes or gang rapes. There are also non-consensual, criminal analogs, but there’s no solid indication which of the two this is, and Kavanaugh’s having wittingly or unwittingly been in their general vicinity 35+ years ago is far from a conclusive career death sentence. And again, this is assuming the uncorroborated events even happened, or fundamentally in the way Swetnick alleges. Sure, all the claims may be true and worse behavior may be yet undiscovered, but actionable charges must be founded on evidence, even if that means some people get away with crimes and misdeeds. Let’s throw out a number and say an appointment has implications worth $50 billion to backers and opponents. Would opponents not set aside 0.1% or less of the prize ($5M) in order to manufacture multiple, endless claims? Clearly yes, they would; obviously there must be a middle-ground or divider between ‘Believe [all] Survivors [regardless of proof and plausibility]’ and dismissing them.
- Good snippet from the low-to-zero-credibility Blasey-Ford testimony. What you are watching is an amateur performance which will ideally land her in prison or destitute from a civil lawsuit, though just going away will do. Where quasi-real ‘hot’ subterfuge like violent false flag events, entrapment, and blackmail was once the treason of choice, going ‘full fakery’ with bargain-basement, drug-addled actors has become the shadow government’s new normal.
- Collectively, the several ‘Team Blasey Ford’ GoFundMe campaigns have already topped $750k (largest one is linked). Her lawyers are working pro bono, so this isn’t going to them. Shadow government stooges have routinely reaped 7-figure payouts through sites like GoFundMe, even before any indirect or under-the-table benefits, which are probably much larger. $750k represents a lot more scuba trips in remote South Pacific isles for Blasey-Ford, with her crippling fear of flying.
- As Blasey-Ford flies into the Tahitian sunset with her newfound millions, the next strategy has been to investigate exactly how many drinks Kavanaugh had at high school parties that have no relation to rape claims, and whether he lied about it. Kavanaugh likely sugar-coated his high school and college antics, but confirmation hearings aren’t the Howard Stern Show, and there is no obligation to entertain every silly, irrelevant line of inquiry. As for the credentials of a judge, I would put more credence on someone who has ventured out of the library, lived life, and made mistakes than I would in a milquetoast ivory-tower theoretician trapped inside his own head. Intelligence and knowledge are not wisdom, and never will be. If we’re now eliminating every man who has ever done or said stupid things from high office, regardless of when those things occurred, there will be very few left standing.
- A frequent theme here (discussed in depth in Fake Aliens post) has been the manipulation or manufacture of events with the aim of stretching the bounds of what is believable, so that anything will be believed and the world will truly become a stage, as much as it already is. I’ve also discussed the varied sources of ‘cancel-able identities’ that can serve as fake victims. This applies to all kinds of tragedies, not just ‘active’ shootings and public bombings: for just a few examples, the Cassidy Stay murders never happened, the Trayvon Martin incident is highly suspicious, and appears likely to have been a set-up of some kind, the Christopher Dorner manhunt may well have been a training exercise. There is an average of 34,439 fatal car crashes in the US per year resulting in around 37,461 deaths (1.08 deaths per accident), and surely all but the tiniest sliver of crashes are real in every sense. The recent NY state limo crash may be an exception. The owner was an FBI informant, had links to [almost invariably Western intel-engineered/run] terror organizations, no witnesses seem to have witnessed the crash other than to say they heard an explosion, and federal agents, mainly the NTSB, took over the investigation. The SUV reportedly hit another SUV. It didn’t hit a brick building, train, or mountainside. Equal and opposite reactions means that in terms of force exerted, the moving and stationary objects in a collision are interchangeable. If a mountain moving at 100 mph hit an SUV, you could imagine there being no survivors. It’s just not believable that not one of the 20 would luck out and survive in this case, if even just in the hospital for a few days. But 20 insant deaths? I don’t believe it. In the single perspective (see Inside Edition video link) that is available, no portion of the limo looks badly damaged. Distorting the public’s belief standards for car crashes is important (especially in the age of hackable, self-driving cars), since staged accidents, often plane or auto, are a common method of taking out shadow-government opponents. It is convenient to them if the publicly will uncritically accept every tale of an accident, and head to their local candlelight vigil to be filmed by news media.
- As established below, the NY limo crash was a faked event, in which either no one died or everyone was already dead. Why car crashes would be faked was also covered. In this utterly insane circus of a political and informational context (a context Hillary would enthusiastically keep in place), hopefully the self-styled, Bill Maher-loving science and fact-checking champions on the left will finally start to see why people were willing to take a gamble on a bad haircut. But no, they’ll probably call the fact of limo fakery ‘batshit crazy.’
- The migrant march is so outrageously a shadow-govt fabrication that the discourse has moved beyond the question of if it is an organic event (a notion only the unimaginably naive cling to) and on to exactly how it has been engineered, i.e. who specifically is funding and organizing it, what are the exact supply-chain logistics, etc. Organized crime runs human trafficking. A single big payment goes to a single big trafficking player, and the on-the-ground logistics are worked out by the usual suspects who are familiar with trafficking, who have no shortage in petty cash (with a few million for supplies being very petty), and who have people in place everywhere who work for them and/or fear them deeply. Let’s say there are normally $50M in ultra high-profit-margin revenues from trafficking 7k people, where room and board are covered, as they are with the caravan. Let’s say Intel Agency A (or Soros A, or financier A, or whoever you imagining) has close links to or oversight of major South American drug manufacturer B to raise hard-to-trace money for black ops [like immigration propaganda] (see the film Dealing with the Demon: An Unholy Alliance if this admitted fact sounds incredible). Let’s say Central American Cartel C gets a 50% discount on its wholesale purchases of $100M/mo from producer B for just one month, in lieu of payment from the many migrants. There’s your $50 million, one and done. It’s not like food vendors are getting paid and migrants reimbursed by checks from Deep State Inc. If some version of this is how it went down, the tens of thousands involved in the march would be compartmentalized and at best only dimly aware of central organization, except for the few at the very top who did the deal. Luckily, just knowing it’s BS is 90% of the battle; knowing how it was done is of distant secondary importance.
- TSA unveils plans for mugshots, fingerprints, and eye scans of all foreign and domestic travelers (If you haven’t been abroad recently, as of several years ago were making foreigners from certain countries to submit to a mugshot and fingerprints upon entry, then about four years ago it became foreigners from all countries, entry and exit. Now all Americans returning to the US are mugshotted upon entry, and the mugshot terminal also contains a fingerprint scanner. Now they acknowledge their plan is biometric entry and exit for Americans, foreign and domestic flights (and later, maybe bus and train rides, even highway driving). The shadow government has been treating us more and more like prisoners over the past several decades, and this is why I oppose a wall. There are many other, less permanent ways of regulating the border. More often than not, walls have been used to keep an oppressed people in, not foreigners out. The unconstitutional, 4A-violating TSA needs to be abolished immediately. Its existence is based on staged shoe bombings and cartoon airplanes.)
