    Did the regulators at the FDA know that all previous coronavirus vaccines had failed in animal trials and that the vaccinated animals became either severely ill or died? Yes, they did. Did they know that previous coronavirus vaccines had a tendency to "enhance the infection" and "make the disease worse"? Yes. Did Dr Anthony Fauci...
  • I was, sort of, waiting for a thread like this here on this site, for obvious reason.

    How do you “vax is deadly/depopulation agent/genocidal concoction” guys, on THIS very site, understand the fact that Israel, apparently, has a very high vaccination rate?
    On top of it with this new “genetic” wax on top of it?

    I mean, if the thing is so bad, why would THEY, of all people, do that!?!?

    I mean, THEY are masters of “one rule for us, another for the rest of the world”, but, in this particular case THEY appear to be among countries/nations/peoples leading in vaccinations.
    Taking into account, say….”diversity/immigration” stuff, there is one rule for them and definitely another for Western nations.
    But now, this……they almost lead. As…haha…say…accepting all Afghan refugees.

    Something doesn’t compute there. Or, it does in ways that could be…say…interesting.

    Just curious to see those……… explanations/theories.
    Really:).

    Try this: Israeli vaccines were isotonic saline. No, I don't believe that, but such a meme would keep the vax-pushers busy.

    , @Realmom
    @peterAUS

    I have been wondering the same. Israel has inoculated 80% of its population and is on target for endless boosters, then wouldn’t it follow from this article that they are basically committing another holocaust, on their own people? That sense seems to go against grain. I don’t know if the vaccine started out as an insidious, stealth bio weapon, or it morphed into one. But I do believe that the powers that be recognized early on their mistake and now are stuck with inoculating everyone to hide the adverse effects of the vaccines which they hope to blame on covid.

    , @Katrinka
    @peterAUS

    Israel is a small country. It makes sense that they would want to reduce the population, especially the old, sick, and useless.

  • Gibraltar has had a 99% vaccination rate since June 1. The consequence has been a 2,500 percent daily increase in Covid cases. As the vaccine is useless, why the push for mandatory vaccination and Covid passports? It makes no public health sense. THE BIG PHARMA SHILLS Fauci: “a pandemic of the unvaccinated” Walensky: “a pandemic...

    Hello,

    I also had noticed this comment but I don't really understand it practically... Would it be I kind of hacking?

    Thanks

    @ Bugey Libre:

    Fair question.

    Quick answer: yes, it would.

    That’s, for example, how “they” get to see, if they wish, what we do on our PCs, laptops, tablets…smart phones…..get into our IoT devices….whatever of “programmable digital electronics” device. Plant false evidence too.

    Requires very smart and experienced people, working hard in well organized teams to produce means to do that. Something “they” have in abundance, of course.

    Something we simply can’t have.

    Great odds.

    Thank you for the very helpful questions!

    No prob.

    Key point:
    Some of you who want to do it get together. Some of those must be knowledgeable about police and Justice System work. Ideally a current/former high level cop and an experienced judge.
    Snag: you don’t have such people onboard. Red flag.

    Play the game. You and some other are Team A. The cop and judge are the Team B.
    You “do” this. They, naturally, “do” that.
    Snag: Can’t play that game. Red flag.

    Address all possible contingencies. Especially those ending in your financial ruin.
    Snag: can’t address those, especially the later. Red flag.

    Etc.

    Smart people recognize when there are enough red flags to abort the failure before it becomes serious.
    Free will.

    Exerpt from an email I sent to a colegue earlier.
    File under "posible solutions: non-violent non-cooperation".
    (Just wanting to get some ideas out there, even though this isn't an exactly secure forum. If the idea tickles your fancy, take it somewhere more private to play around with and put into action):

    "Maybe what folks are lacking, when it comes to non-cooperation/demonstrations of non-consent, is an idea to work around and build on.
    With that in mind, allow me to elaborate on my 'open-air party' idea (which I know on its face comes off as very wooly).
    Have you heard of 'mini-rigs'? They're portable music players/speakers which either stand alone or can be linked together via bluetooth, so they all play the same music. Small, high quality, taylored to the ever-growing dj/party scene.
    Now imagine a modest group (50, 100, 200, whatever) gathering in a strategic location (city/town center) each wearing a teeshirt displaying 'freedom from tyranny' type memes, including several saying 'join us'. Then, flashmob style, at a given time or cue the theme from Dambusters (for eg) blasts out from + or - 10 connected mini-rigs as the group join hands in an outward-facing circle whilst others dance at the center and others 'fly' around and about and into the circle. (Fun and entertaining [plus passers by can easily join in])
    Others could hand out flyers for those intetested in networking to build community resiliance and etc.

    This type of action could work as a stand-alone event, a coordinated weekly event, and as a catalyst to kick off a grand international non-compliance party [if properly coordinated].

    As the movement grows so other resourses may be aquired such as the sorts of field kitchens used in festivals (and I dare say even by the military) so that, at the comencement of the big party, which would neccaserily require greater coordination, kitchens could be erected and donated food provided for free to the people.
    Keep the music positive and uplifting and include music from all genres.
    Discourage the use of alcohol (the worst drug) because it makes people stupid, reckless and self-centred.
    Maybe the big party starts on Christmas day, new year, spring equinox or some other significant date in the near future, as 'freetopia' (holding-place terminology) networks, by now established, are rolling out on the groud and helping to unite disparate groups and individuals (food distribution, community support, etc) [see a comment I made in the, since closed, "vaxx debate" thread yesterday.]

    That's a nutshell description of something I feel could work. Starting small, engaging the imaginations of down-troden masses and frustrated activists.
    And if it doesn't grow into the 'big party' I personally would love it to, at least we get to have some fun, and generate some independant community networks along the way."

    CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome.

    A suggestion, if you will, methodology wise:

    The Project.

    The objective: what, exactly is the objective here? I’ll assume (assumption is mother….; makes ass…) it’s …say….”having an ongoing weekly protest event re Clovid with 200 persons”.
    Question: ongoing for how long..4 weeks….8…12.?! What’s a measure of success or failure?
    Number of people showing up? Number of people showing interest in the protest?

    Risk points: any? I’d say at least one. “Disruption of peace”. How? Well, a counter protest of (say, active) Clovidiots which could get nasty. Or a music too loud for some people in the neighborhood (say passive Clovidiots) Anyway, what are the SOPs there re Clovidiots and police?

    Good for making a local network of similar minded people.
    Ineffective in affecting any TPTBs intentions/policies.

    Or, maybe, the objective is to network with similar groups REGION wise. Good.
    Again, what’s the measure of success/failure? 2 groups….6…..12?
    Risk: “police thing” will definitely pop up here. Risk management, for group leaders? You get arrested and charged with …pick anything, doesn’t matter. What matters is coming time and MONEY in dealing with….ahm….Justice System.

    Network with similar people with NATION level.
    DEFINITELY get ready for some time in the Court. Can you afford that? Yes/no. If no, well, free will and such.

    Etc.

    Makes sense?

    Hope I made a point here.

    If not here it is:
    Think all the steps through. ALL….OF…THEM.
    Just a suggestion, mind you. Again, free will and such.

    Ah, seen the comment:
    “….seize control of these IT tools, to cage them-in, in precisely the way they think they are going to be successful in caging us in. We must all see that there is no other way…..”
    Excellent idea.
    You good with Zero Days Exploits? You know, assembly language, manipulating bits on a register level and such? Know guys who can do that. ORGANIZE them to make something? Just as a test, say, a network driver for Linux.
    Yes? Excellent!
    Good luck.

    Hi Peter,

    The end-point, IF it can be acheived, would be the growing of a movement away from centralised control towards free and independant communities, networked to ensure resiliance as well as for trade and exchange of goods across community boundries. (Shortly I'll reproduce here my 'encapsulated' vision of how that might work.)

    As for the parties/demo's themselves, it's my experience that when like-minded people come together in non-violent solidarity agains any/all forms of tyranny, cohersion and opression, we invariably inspire one another and conect on a much deeper level. The energy that these kinds of encounters generate is also very contagious (every emotion that we humans feel can be spread by contagion, including love, joy, fear and hate. So the idea is to build on and grow our more positive and productive energies (good for our physical and psychological immunity too) so that it may enrich our life experience and insire our daily actions.

    Besides which, when we come together in a spirit of celebration and love so we begin to heal from intergenerational and personal traumas. Which makes the little lord baby jesus very happy. LOL
    :)

    Should we manage, despite pushback, to grow such a movement to international proportions to culminate in the biggest open-air party the world has ever seen (even bigger than Live Aid) then we may pull the world back from the nihalism of a technocratic totalitarian future and begin to evolve a more fitting paradigm for a sentient species.

    Thank you for the very helpful questions!

    All the best,

    You are faced with an Either/Or, along with everybody else. There is no centre, and neither side of that divide will have room for rational centrists until the decision's been made and the dust has cleared. That may be a decade, even a generation away.

    P..e..r..f..e..c..t !

    The problem is that one side is clear on that, has already organized and consolidated immense resources and has, at least, 18 months on us , keeping the initiative.
    The other side is still not getting there is a conflict going on in the first place. Actually…….a lot of one side believe the other side is working for their benefit…..

    I have a problem recollecting time in history when it was like this. Probably some periods of European colonial expansion culminating with massacre of natives here and there. Trinkets and tools first. Maxim gun and quick firing cannon at the end.
    Care for elderly first. Internment camps filled by militarized SWAT work at the end. Protected idyllic mansions at the other side of social divide.
    Favelas in between.

    I remember chats at the beginning of all this. When dumb people like me were talking abut vaccine passports, forced vaccinations etc. and smart people laughing at us. It was, what, 18 months ago?!
    I am sure they are laughing now when they see that “internment camp” too. 18 months too?! Or sooner?

    I must say that natives were geniuses compared to us. They were stuck in stoneage in some remote place; “we” have all the world information at our fingertips. That fact, perhaps, hides some much deeper and terrible truth in all this.

    There were only 2,500 troops left in Afghanistan when Trump was replaced by "Biden." 8,000 the year before, which is like half a division, actually not all that many men. 16,500 when Trump became President, which still isn't all that many men.


    Tens of thousands of hardened, desensitized, people, already well organized and with up do date COIN skillset and equipment.
     
    So, no, not "tens of thousands," except of course all the men who spent some time there in the twenty years of occupation. Only so many men at the tip of the spear, and a whole bunch of them are back in civilian life here (literally working for the side of child rapists doesn't appeal to these sorts of men).

    Ideal for squashing down individuals and small groups of…ahm…”insurgents”.

    Certainly 'they' use force to impose their jurisdiction, the police force being exactly what it tells us it is. And they will continue to do so until and unless that jurisdiction is credubly challenged/undermined.

    Of course you're right Peter! It's been clear since the begining of this psyop that unless those of us standing to opose it, or even just refusing to participate in it will soon enough face extra-judicial internment.- That's why I mentioned the small window such an aproach has.

    If this aproach is never tried, or if it fails, then ones tactics would have to change accordingly.

    But until that time comes it occures to me that we have to use every means at our dispisal to stop it. Or at least to buy ourselves enough time to... regroup on higher ground.

    Personally, I'm already on the high ground and better prepared than most to repel any physical assault. Though, even for us here, without numbers, should things get physical ultimately we'd be beaten by sheer force.

    But as their narrative crumbles and their agenda is recognised for what it is, so our chances of defeating this existencial threat increase. - There are many, many more of 'us' (and of people questioning the bullshit) than than we are led to believe.

    People have been seeking ways out of the matrix since 9.11 and before.

    Here is where we may be aided by an undersanding of 'the law'. More specifucally the pillars upon which it stands: (I'm no lawyer so unsure of propper terminology.) : Jurisdiction.
    Concent. Reason.

    And understand the manner in which law is applied, especially within the high/supreme courts.

    And of course explore the founding documents, legislative acts, codes interpretations, etc.

    I can HIGHLY reckomend a website called bailii.org (I hope that's correct. British And Ireish Leagal... something...). These guys publish huge archives of Reported High Court Cases, including the judges reasons, which are often worth reading in their own right.

    Point being, when you know how the system works you are better prepared to counter any charges it makes against you..

    How is it these institutions of the state gain jurisdiction over a soverign man? Answer: ONLY BY YOUR CONCENT!

    I've not yet had occasion to use the following (though I did once recite it to a nice police woman one day who seemed to enjoy it :) (ceveate to any readers who like the sound of it: one has to not be intimidated by authority figures or uniforms, and one absolutely has to know, what is Sovereignty and what are its responsabilities, else one may "loose ones standing". Meaning go into things with your eyes open!)

    Here's the thing:

    I am the Living Woman [a higher authority under God than ANY leagal fiction] called kali prajita.
    I do not recignise you [just as the court may not recignise any legal entity it chooses not to].
    I do not recognise, or accept your jurisdiction.
    And I grant you no authority over me.

    Argue jurisdiction and appeal the decisions of the lower courts up through the food chain. And make a noise about it.

    Just something I teased out along the way which might inspire..?

    It wont be long before they close off the "justice" system to the unvaxxed so I suspect there's only a small window of oportunity to puicly shatter their aleged 'right' to rule over Gods Creation..

    I guess you meant “consent”.
    You are wrong. They get power over you by their ability to deploy a lethal force against you.

    I know people like you. I respect and actually admire such people. They are……good people. Better than me, actually. They are SUPPOSED to be future of humanity. In a normal world. Not this one I am afraid.

    Here is a scenario for you to ponder. I know it’s unpleasant for people like you, but I suggest you try to will yourself in.
    They want you to get a jab. You do not consent.
    They send, at your home, a team of medical workers and suggest you have a jab. You do not consent.
    Two days later they send the same team with two nice cops. Cops do the talking this time. The usual , “public health”, “common good”…stuff like that. You do not consent.
    Two days later they send med team with 4 cops. This time they say “danger for society” and similar stuff. You do not consent.
    Well…this time they say “either you take the jab or we have to take you to isolation facility”. For public good, of course. You do not consent.
    They arrest you. So, while you are in (indefinite) detention you can

    Argue jurisdiction and appeal the decisions of the lower courts up through the food chain. And make a noise about it.

    Especially “make noise” while there.

    Or maybe they don’t arrest you (not you, Kali…some other type of a person); you knew it was coming, you were ready and faster. Let’s leave it there.
    Well…they send a team next. Now…this time you REALLY have to be ready and GOOD. Let’s leave it there. You are still, obviously, not consenting.
    Well…next they send a team with military support. I could be wrong but I believe no individual on this Earth can counter that. You are dead. Not consenting too.

    Makes sense?

    The way out of this, successfully, isn’t about “not consenting”, I am sure about that.

    With respect, I disagree. Not-consenting means nonviolent non-cooperation.

    When enough people practice this, it is the one weapon that tyrants can never overcome. It caused the UK to give up India for example, and France to give up Algeria. It caused the USA to give up Vietnam when U.S. troops refused to fight anymore. It caused the USSR to ease up on Czechoslovakia after the USSR invaded in Jan 1968, and caused the USSR to ease up on Poland in 1980. It caused Syria to cease occupying Lebanon in 2005.

    Nonviolent non-cooperation includes BDS, which is the one and only thing that Israel fears.

    Protests, demonstrations, and violent rebellion are useless. Tyrants use these to justify more tyranny. Indeed tyrants stage false flag rebellions if necessary.

    What we need is mass non-violent non-cooperation. Just say no.

    True……………….sort of.

    I guess you mean “getting numbers”.

    Well….the problem is while “we” are getting numbers “they” are finalizing the structure which will make those numbers ineffective.

    Or, I just KNOW that in the city I live in there are around 10 000 people, at least, against the lockdowns. Or, in practical terms, 10 000 people CAN break the lockdown in a day, with ease.
    THE PROBLEM is getting them together to do that right.

    Something else is sorely needed. One, crucial, element. Won’t spell it out here. Take it as a sort of a puzzle to solve .
    I can’t see that element, at this stage. Which makes sort of a (very uncomfortable) sense in all this.

    This started in mid-2019.
     
    Yes. For example, in October 2019 the World Economic Forum (in cooperation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) did an exercise that simulated a global coronavirus pandemic that jumped from bats to humans. The simulation was called Event 201.

    See

    https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.html

    The W.H.O. monitored the simulation, and a few months later declared that the fictional pandemic was real.

    So yes, this had all been planned. And yes, it is about imposing a planetary control and surveillance grid, in the form of mandatory vax passports for all, with a cashless society.

    “You will own nothing (including your own body) and you will pay rent to elitists for life.”

    The reason why so many governments participate in the pandemic hoax is that most governments want more power over their citizenry. Always more. Government bureaucrats can never have enough power. The pandemic hoax justifies a total power grab in every nation that participates in the hoax. The pandemic is too tempting for most governments to pass up.

    Well….correct, but not quite.

    I’d suggest you try to understand the current World financial system to complete/round up your understanding of what’s going on. More importantly, what is a possible future.

    Emslander, just here, mentioned it.

    The PROBLEM is that “we” here (I mean a couple of us who do try to think hard about this, that is) don’t, yet, understand that “they” are in trouble and under pressure. That tends to make people desperate. Desperate people with a lot of power could make terrible mistakes.

    The current world financial system is in the crisis. It could break with terrible consequences. M.A..D., actually, could happen, IMHO.
    That’s why they are pushing so hard, no matter what. I am sure that a lot of them actually believe that CBDC, UBI, constant vaccinations, chipping…whatever….is better than the scenario of financial meltdown.
    They, local admins (from Biden to all the rest….), know plandemic is bullshit, but it’s a tool to keep control until they figure the way out. THAT is the problem, here: they are still figuring out how to do it. And time isn’t working for them. The numbers…….

    Here is the timeline I see:

    [MORE]

    June 2019: In its Annual Economic Report, the Swiss-based Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the ‘Central Bank of all central banks’, sets the international alarm bells ringing……

    9 August 2019: The BIS issues a working paper calling for “unconventional monetary policy measures” to “insulate the real economy from further deterioration in financial conditions”. ……

    15 August 2019: Blackrock Incissues a white paper titled Dealing with the next downturn. Essentially, the paper instructs the US Federal Reserve to inject liquidity directly into the financial system to prevent “a dramatic downturn.” …. “An unprecedented response is needed when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough. That response will likely involve ‘going direct’”: “finding ways to get central bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders” while avoiding “hyperinflation. Examples include the Weimar Republic in the 1920s as well as Argentina and Zimbabwe more recently.”……

    22-24 August 2019: G7 central bankers meet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss BlackRock’s paper along with urgent measures to prevent the looming meltdown. In the prescient words of James Bullard, President of the St Louis Federal Reserve: “We just have to stop thinking that next year things are going to be normal.”……

    15-16 September 2019: The downturn is officially inaugurated by a sudden spike in the repo rates (from 2% to 10.5%). ….

    17 September 2019: The Fed begins the emergency monetary programme, pumping hundreds of billions of dollars per week into Wall Street, effectively executing BlackRock’s “going direct” plan. (Unsurprisingly, in March 2020 the Fed will hire BlackRock to manage the bailout package in response to the ‘COVID-19 crisis’)……

    19 September 2019: Donald Trump signs Executive Order 13887, establishing a National Influenza Vaccine Task Force whose aim is to develop a “5-year national plan (Plan) to promote the use of more agile and scalable vaccine manufacturing technologies and to accelerate development of vaccines that protect against many or all influenza viruses.” This is to counteract “an influenza pandemic”, which, “unlike seasonal influenza […] has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe, infect higher numbers of people, and cause high rates of illness and death in populations that lack prior immunity”. …

    18 October 2019: In New York, a global zoonotic pandemic is simulated during Event 201, a strategic exercise coordinated by the Johns Hopkins Biosecurity Center and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation……

    Etc…

    I really think some of us could benefit in shifting attention from “virus” to “money”. I really do.

    We’re getting into very dangerous territory.
     
    You're well within pivotally dangerous territory. Without hyperbole, one can say you're probably in existentially dangerous territory. Yet hope remains...

    It seems that a number of State Governors have drawn some lines in the sand against Biden's diktat. At least a dozen (last I looked) said "No!" emphatically enough that they'll have to hold the line lest they lose all credibility. That's good, and especially so if they have the backing of their Legislators and the people to keep their spines stiff.

    There's neither time nor opportunity for building new political frameworks from scratch. Far more efficacious, especially at this juncture is to commandeer/consolidate control over existing structures. The US is blessed with 50 bite-size State govts and getting a dozen or even two singing from the same song sheet seems eminently possible. First by forcing incumbents to do what they do best (looking after their re-election) and then by replacing those that can't be trusted. That takes people power, organized people power, but it can be done and it seems to me we're watching just such a strategy taking shape on the ground. By filling the great many empty positions at the precinct/school district/county levels, the "Neo-dissidents" are developing a critical mass that is already resonating upwards through the GOP and at least putting some backbone into GOP Governors. That's a big step forwards because momentum, once energized builds itself with minimum input.

    It was used once as an excuse to steal a Presidential election and will be used again, if it can be.
     
    If the US gets there, I actually think the sort of in-your-face, grand scale fraud we saw in 2020 will be all but impossible next time. The Grassy Knollers swarmed all over the 2020 election post facto, but they look to continue swarming into the next one. At least they're taking over election mgmnt at the grass roots level which is where much/most of the fraud occurred.

    2022 would've proved a giant reversal, but I think something much worse than Biden's speech happens first. The AZ audit will soon be out, and maybe one or two more States will follow by 2022. The evidence that surfaces will, I believe, prove unequivocally that the 2020 election was no election at all but a coup d'etat.

    As I see it, there are 3 converging trends that suggest a US-centred, world historical discontinuity is not far off. It's world historical because the US is the lynchpin in the NWO. Without its resources and remaining political and military power, the NWO dies in its crib.Those powers may be waning, but they're still formidable and absolutely necessary. Russia and China have already bowed out, and they're taking swaths of Eurasia & SE Asia with them.

    Simply put, the EU plus the other 4 Eyes don't a NWO make. Only the US can lend it the heft it needs to compete against the growing SCO block. Take a significant part of the US off the table, and there's no there there. The NWO is a rump without Russia and China. Without a unified US, it's a pipe dream. Maybe not even that.

    The 3 dangerous trends:
    As the US Constitution says nothing about removing a fraudulently inaugurated Administration, the US will go into a Constitutional Crisis when the evidence from the audits surfaces. It's happened before. Most notably in 1876 between Tilden and Hayes. The country had just been through a bloody civil war. Nobody wanted a replay so compromises were made and the country muddled through. I'm very doubtful that that sort of compromise and muddling through are available to it today. A socially and politically fractured nation finding itself in Constitutionally uncharted territory can flip in any direction at all.

    By then, the US may also be into the initial stages of the Great Vaxxine Dieoff. Whether the vaxxed will be into their 4th or 5th "booster" by then won't matter. TPTB will try to conflate COVID and Vaxxine-induced illness, but it will be apparent to all that something terrible is happening. At least half the country will be frantic, a large portion of both halves will also be spittin' mad.

    As if the resulting socio-political crisis ain't enough, toss in a Financial Crisis, or more accurately a Currency Crisis, and the result is an Existential Crisis on a scale that dwarfs what happened to (say) Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Unlike Russia, I just can't see how the US comes out of that tumbler intact. That is precisely where hope stays alive.

    The above, at least for those of us outside the US is a light at the end of the tunnel. If America can shrug the NWO off, in whole or in part, then it's off. The rest will back away, and the NWO-ians will have to regroup to plot their next moves.

    For Americans, I think there may well be several, if smaller lights in the form of break-away States. If that happens (and I see no other (semi-)peaceful solution without mass acquiescence), the US will see massive internal dislocation/migration, but important lessons will have been learned and several smaller but vibrant States, or groups of States can rise.

    I never thought I'd hear myself saying this, but it looks like America is, in its dissolution, the hope of the world.

    A question (in a good faith, mind you), say, “method” wise :
    Do you play own…say…”games”, based on own scenarios?
    Alone, with a friend…friends? Two teams? Three?

    Say, “Blue” vs “Red” (with allies, neutrals, whatever).

    Say….as just one of those (mental) games, Team Biden is “Blue” and, say, Team “Those Governors” are “Red”.
    Move 1…counter…move 2…counter….move 3…counter. Something like that.
    Dynamic interplay.

    ‘They” do game their serious moves, always. And methods wise, properly. I just know that.

    I also know that “we” don’t even understand the concept, let alone do it. At least where I live. Experience.

    Just curious.

  • @A little boy in the crowd
    WHY NOW?

    Q. Why did the World Economic Forum choose 2020 to launch its global “pandemic” hoax?

    A. Because the hoax requires several factors that never existed before.

    These several factors work together…

    [1] Most of the planet’s seven billion people are glued to cell phones that repeat Covid propaganda 24/7.

    [2] Mass media consolidation began with the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and has accelerated ever since. On 11 March 2020 the Covid hoax officially began with the W.H.O.’s declaration of a “global pandemic.” Sixteen days later (27 March 2020) the Western world’s media outlets and social media platforms launched their Trusted News Initiative to coordinate all Covid lies. The first to join were the BBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, Twitter, Google/YouTube, Facebook, AP, AFP, Reuters, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Hindu, First Draft, and the European Broadcasting System.

    Several others have joined since then. Overseeing it all is the World Economic Forum.

    The Trusted News Initiative ensures that all media outlets and social media platforms tell the exact same Covid lies, and censor all deviations from the lies. For garden variety vax pushers, these lies are the source of their “science.”

    [3] On the same day the Trusted News Initiative began (27 March 2020), the CARES Act was signed into law. It included $178 billion to be doled out to hospitals across the USA as a bribe to list almost every death as “Covid.” All vaccine injuries are “Covid.” The more people are vaxxed, the more people are injured, and the more “Covid” there is. Increased “Covid” justifies still more vaxxing, which causes still more injuries, which justifies still more vaxxing, and so on.

    Hospitals and the media outlets also created phantoms like the “Delta variant.” If you are told you have “Delta,” and you ask for proof, you will be told that the information cannot be released to you (since it doesn’t exist).

    If you don’t believe this, try it yourself.

    [4] The ongoing collapse of Western civilization, plus events like the election fraud of 3 Nov 2020, have made everyone anxious and fearful. Elitists use this mass anxiety to keep the masses divided and helpless. Hence the elitist support for Antifa and BLM riots, plus the endless attacks on “white supremacy” and so on. Social media sustains hatred of the unvaxxed, which helps to sustain the pandemic hoax. This hatred also overcomes absurdities, e.g. if the vaccine works, then how can the unvaxxed be a threat to the vaxxed?

    Since the public let Democrats get away with their fraud of 3 Nov 2020, Democrats have become increasingly bolder. Biden is now a true dictator (controlled by his handlers). America’s teachers have declared war on America’s students and parents. Liberal politicians are drunk with power. Many nations are now prisons (e.g. Australia).

    All these factors work together to sustain the pandemic hoax, which is so successful that almost everyone believes in it, including “anti-vaxxers.” They don’t want to be injected, but they believe the lie that there is a endless “pandemic.”

    The goal of all this is explained in publications by the World Economic Forum. It is not a secret.

    Everyone will be required to have a cell phone with a digital vax passport, and thus be plugged into a planetary control and surveillance grid modeled on China’s “Social Credit” system.

    Everything you look at on the Internet will be monitored, since you will need your digital vax passport to get online. Everything you write, everything you read, and every e-mail you send and receive will be monitored. Every place you physically go will be monitored via GPS. Everything you buy and sell will be monitored, since there will be no cash. No dissent will be tolerated.

    In time, cell phone monitoring and "vax passports" will be done via compulsory RFID chip implants.

    And since you will be required to take Covid “booster shots” for life, you will be subjected to biological experiments for life.

    Among average people, most of them know or suspect all of this, but they are too cowardly to face it. Therefore they dismiss these publicly available facts as a “conspiracy theories.”

    They aggressively push vaxxing and the pandemic hoax, imagining that doing so will keep them safe from the global nightmare they are working hard to develop.

    Yes. For example, in October 2019 the World Economic Forum (in cooperation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) did an exercise that simulated a global coronavirus pandemic that jumped from bats to humans. The simulation was called Event 201.

    See

    https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.html

    The W.H.O. monitored the simulation, and a few months later declared that the fictional pandemic was real.

    So yes, this had all been planned. And yes, it is about imposing a planetary control and surveillance grid, in the form of mandatory vax passports for all, with a cashless society.

    “You will own nothing (including your own body) and you will pay rent to elitists for life.”

    The reason why so many governments participate in the pandemic hoax is that most governments want more power over their citizenry. Always more. Government bureaucrats can never have enough power. The pandemic hoax justifies a total power grab in every nation that participates in the hoax. The pandemic is too tempting for most governments to pass up.

  • There are two books some of people posting/reading here might want to take a look at. More intellectual types probably read them; rereading some parts could be useful:
    Herman Wouk, “Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance”.

    Follow the one stream only: Aaron Jastrow. His path. “A Jew’s Journey”.
    Plenty of characters visiting this site just recoiled, for the obvious reason. Please, move on.
    A couple of you who can pass that and give it a go, try to make parallels. Your own path, if you will.

    —-

    —-
    Living in fenced/guarded environment on minimal UBI and related social/medical services——–>Jastrow’s last day, if you will.

    The point is: that step along that path when Jastrow made the mistake. The moment, had he done something different, he wouldn’t have finished as in the book.
    Which step along the already walked, current and PROJECTED path, we are are on, we made/are making/will make, the mistake? The step after which whatever we do won’t make any difference?

    No need to post it here. Just think about it.

    Re Orwell I’d have to disagree. It’s worse in a way.
     
    It is. An ordinary tyranny is much less stable than what's in process.

    Namely, under colour of a contrived dialectic between the "pandemic" & the "vaxxine", we're watching Democracy being shaped and shepherded into something feared by political thinkers from the ancient Greeks to today as the worst of all possible worlds. Democracy's Achille's Heel, the Tyranny of the Majority is inside the gates.

    The minority is being reduced to the lowest possible number, whereupon it will be stripped of all any and all social and economic rights, and then of any political rights that can be construed as a threat to the Majority and especially to those that rule in its name.

    AU has no Bill of Rights, so Aussies are highly vulnerable, but Canada's is being shunted aside as an unnecessary impediment and the US National Archives has already placed a "Harmful Speech Alert" banner above most of its website, including the US Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights.

    It's a small step from "Harmful" to "Hate" Speech, and from there to "Banned" Speech.

    AU, NZ and CA are much easier to bring under consolidated control than the US. Low population numbers, few provinces/states, parliamentary govts. The US is much more complicated socially and politically, not least due to millions of ex-military an armed populace and 50 State Govts of varying political views and will.

    Though I see that the Aussies are at least making some noise about it, the notion of "peaceful protest" is a mug's game. TPTB couldn't care less. Sustained mass boycott and non-compliance can serve to slow it down, but it's gonna take real political organization to bring it to a halt. I don't see it happening within a generation.

    I seem to recall you saying long ago that you were in Tasmania. If not, I'd head there. Gorgeous, resource rich and sparsely populated. I don't know its politics, but you may be able to steer clear of them.

    Now, let’s agree to disagree about that, here, in public and on this site.
    You ARE a smart guy but everybody has weaknesses. Maybe you could benefit from a chat about certain subjects/topics. Just to fill up some, say, “civilian” gaps in your knowledge (I am saying this in a good faith). Just two of us chatting…without interfering trolls and idiots.
    Let’s put it this way: if “we” were to create any sort of pushback people like you create a framework and lead. People like me do what people like you find…..uncomfortable. Like..cleaning, scrubbing toilets, taking out the trash. Necessary work in any serious social endeavor. Something like that.
    Above is my contact. Flick me a mail and we could start discussing that topic “bringing under control”.

    Now…that is related to that “under control”. It’s possible. Requires a lot. We could chat about that too.

    There is nowhere to run from this. Sooner or later we’ll have to start making a stand. We are 2 years late in the game as we speak so there is a lot of catching up to do.
    Now, there is a difference between making a stand and being a suicidal idiot. THAT is something I WAS hoping sites like this could start working on. I was wrong.
    Well..while there is will there is a way.

    Time has come, IMHO, for Westerners to start learning how the East Europeans lived under Communists. Modes, SOPs, tricks, stuff like that.
     
    Agree with that. I lived ~30 years in the USSR and ~30 years in the US, so I believe I can compare the two directly. There were a few rules you learned under “communism” that are 100% applicable to “capitalism”.

    First and foremost, do not believe anything the government tells you (that includes statistics on covid, GDP, and everything else). The assumption that everything the government says is a lie is correct in 99% of the cases (the rule “it ain’t true unless the government denies it”). The more often something is repeated, the more likely it is to be a blatant lie.

    Second, when it does you no harm, pretend that you believe in the official narrative. Hard to do with “vaccinations” – they likely do cause you harm. If the fraudsters simply put physiological saline in their “vaccines”, I’d call them nice and voluntarily get the shots: in contrast to their concoctions, physiological saline cannot harm you.

    Now, about your conditions. I have a very interesting job that takes a lot of time and brainpower, so I cannot spare the time to read the books you listed. Besides, none of the authors had first-hand experience with both systems, so I don’t see how these books would be informative for me.

    In my experience, liberalism is just a pack of lies, like communism, a ruse for the gullible. An important lesson you learn living under the “communism” is that anything claiming to tell you the Truth with a capital T is a lie.

    I hear you re the former.
    The later (books) is about understanding why Westerners are deeply individualistic (MacDonald). Then, the nature of masses and elites (Mosca, Pareto). The realities of the power allocation there and, consequently, about ways to get what we want in that reality.
    This one is short enough:
    https://www.gwern.net/docs/history/1943-burnham-machiavellians.pdf
    Take a look at Mosca and Pareto parts, only.
    The core point is, IMHO: forget about ‘educating” the masses.

    In my experience, liberalism is just a pack of lies, like communism, a ruse for the gullible. An important lesson you learn living under the “communism” is that anything claiming to tell you the Truth with a capital T is a lie.

    Pretty much. This version of it.
    I, personally, see it a bit more nuanced. A lot of ideologies/movements start well but get corrupted by passing of time. Human nature. Power corrupts, good times make weak people etc.

    People aren’t only willfully carrying “the monitor” with them all the time. They enter the most intimate/personal things about them and they know into the device. 2 minutes of hate last much longer. And the worst, the sheeple can put the pressure on people way outside of their personal space. They, also, can almost instantly tell the authorities about your transgression.
    Or, he didn’t realize how majority of people are just quickly reprogrammable drones. Most idealists tend to do that. I was guilty of the same sin before the scamdemic I must confess.

    As for “them” monitoring what we do/type, correct, up to a point. Up…to …a…point. We could talk about that topic too if you wish. 20 + years in I.T. (among other things) tend to teach a man something about that topic. I made my first program, in high school, on punched cards. Pure 0s and 1s. Long story short, it IS possible to communicate in a way “they” can’t see. Now, the real problem is they’ll then think “…what is he hiding…” which opens next level of the problem. Let’s leave it there here.

    If 95 % of the country’s populace want to walk of the cliff TODAY I wouldn’t give a fuck. The PROBLEM is, they want me to walk with them. They will grab me and drag me over the cliff. For my own good, of course.
     
    See, that’s the difference between “democracy” and “authoritarianism”. In “authoritarian” Russia there is a lot of pro-vaxx propaganda, but few attempts to force people to get a “vaccine”. An attempt to force Moscovites by demanding proof of vaccination (in the form of QR code) for visiting cafes and restaurants was killed within two weeks by the people (vaccinated and unvaccinated) who simply refused to patronize any establishment requiring QR codes. Sure, they aren’t “free”. In contrast, “free” sheeple in a “democracy” will walk over the cliff and drag you with them. Aren’t you happy to live in a “democratic” country?

    Restaurants…cafes….what?!.

    Possibility of mandatory vaccinations is the problem at this stage.
    Stagflation is the next.
    CBDC and all related stuff coming soon after that is The Problem .

    Life bordering on material poverty ruled by anarcho-tyranny managed by the State aparatchiks at every level of existence.
    THAT is the problem, not fucking restaurants…..

    Now, you do have sort of a point here.
    Time has come, IMHO, for Westerners to start learning how the East Europeans lived under Communists. Modes, SOPs, tricks, stuff like that.

    I am more than happy to discuss that topic, with two conditions:
    One:
    Reading Kevin MacDonald, especially “Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition: Evolutionary Origins, History, and Prospects for the Future” is a must. Works by Mosca, Pareto and Burnham would be very helpful. Sam Francis is a must too I am afraid.
    Two:
    No such discussion “here”. My (temporary) Protonmail address is in one of my recent posts here.

    Agree with that. I lived ~30 years in the USSR and ~30 years in the US, so I believe I can compare the two directly. There were a few rules you learned under “communism” that are 100% applicable to “capitalism”.

    First and foremost, do not believe anything the government tells you (that includes statistics on covid, GDP, and everything else). The assumption that everything the government says is a lie is correct in 99% of the cases (the rule “it ain’t true unless the government denies it”). The more often something is repeated, the more likely it is to be a blatant lie.

    Second, when it does you no harm, pretend that you believe in the official narrative. Hard to do with “vaccinations” – they likely do cause you harm. If the fraudsters simply put physiological saline in their “vaccines”, I’d call them nice and voluntarily get the shots: in contrast to their concoctions, physiological saline cannot harm you.

    Now, about your conditions. I have a very interesting job that takes a lot of time and brainpower, so I cannot spare the time to read the books you listed. Besides, none of the authors had first-hand experience with both systems, so I don’t see how these books would be informative for me.

    In my experience, liberalism is just a pack of lies, like communism, a ruse for the gullible. An important lesson you learn living under the “communism” is that anything claiming to tell you the Truth with a capital T is a lie.

    The vaxx isn’t the problem. Tables of data are. They are bad JuJu.
     
    I stopped preparing ‘tables of data’ back in April/May of 2020, because Doomers aren’t interested in data if it conflicts with Sanjay dotGupta telling them to fear for their lives.

    Since UR at the time didn’t permit either tables or equations, I had to painstakingly prepare the tables (easy); take a screenshot; save the screenshot to DropBox; and include the DropBox image link in my comments (taking care to change the ‘dl=0’ to ‘do=1’ or vice versa - I forget now).

    Sounds like a short workflow, but it took more than ten times as long as getting PostgreSQL to spit out a nicely-formatted HTML table object and pasting that into a comment.

    Turns out that it was ‘pearls before swine’ - I should have made up a plausible anecdote and just posted that, but I was slow on the uptake, thinking that people were interested in facts. Silly me.

    Point is: tables of data from all over the world, made clear to anybody with the numeracy to do the analysis that this was a pathogen that very rarely led to serious disease, and that meaningful likelihood of serious disease occurred in people whose entire systems were already vulnerable to insult (through serious metabolic dysfunction: even advanced age was not a reliable trigger… it had to be ‘advanced age plus a significant metabolic dysfunction).

    None of that has changed.

    Let me make this clear: I honestly don’t give a solitary fuck if innumerate schlubs allow themselves to be injected with a novel chemical of questionable efficacy and unknown long-term safety, marketed by a fundamentally dishonest corporation with a decades-long track record of criminal misbehaviour. (In much the same way: to the extent that I give a fuck if hundreds of millions of people die, I view it as an almost-unalloyed positive).

    I am watching this unfold as a gigantic sociological experiment, and it is validating all my priors about human cognition (which is worthless below the 95th percentile) and political corruption (which is endemic).

    Unlike Doomer charlatans, I have no incentive to massage data to fit my narrative. My objective is to get an unbiased estimate of the risk to me, personally (proxied by a set of people with similar characteristics - people like me) - I literally don’t care if people unlike me die drowning on pink sputum.

    And because I have inherited misanthropic tendencies from both sides of my family tree, I am psychologically disposed to avoid being close to the vast multitudes of dumbfounded dipshits who waddle around shopping centres like retarded walruses. I’m naturally inclined to ‘social distance’ because of my personal distaste for y’all (so I’ve been getting my groceries delivered since before it was cool).

    So anyway… let us all know what you’ve learned from perusing tables of data; it’ll give me a decent guess at whether you’re male or female.

    OT: Dan Ariely turns out to have faked his data. I always said that the Ariely/Kahnemann bullshit would collapse under scrutiny (which is why Kahnemann has always been against independent review that did not include the author: he fears exposure).

    The problem, STILL, is that those..ahm…people…are forcing you into rather dystopian future. Or me. Or similar people.

    We can not sit back in our distaste and distance us from all this.
    We can’t keep away. They come to us and force us to do what they do.
    THAT is the problem.

    So….resolving that problem appears to be a challenge at this stage.
    Make those 95% do whatever they want and leave us alone. Tall order today.

    Here is where we may be aided by an undersanding of 'the law'. More specifucally the pillars upon which it stands: (I'm no lawyer so unsure of propper terminology.) : Jurisdiction.
    Concent. Reason.

    And understand the manner in which law is applied, especially within the high/supreme courts.

    And of course explore the founding documents, legislative acts, codes interpretations, etc.

    I can HIGHLY reckomend a website called bailii.org (I hope that's correct. British And Ireish Leagal... something...). These guys publish huge archives of Reported High Court Cases, including the judges reasons, which are often worth reading in their own right.

    Point being, when you know how the system works you are better prepared to counter any charges it makes against you..

    How is it these institutions of the state gain jurisdiction over a soverign man? Answer: ONLY BY YOUR CONCENT!

    I've not yet had occasion to use the following (though I did once recite it to a nice police woman one day who seemed to enjoy it :) (ceveate to any readers who like the sound of it: one has to not be intimidated by authority figures or uniforms, and one absolutely has to know, what is Sovereignty and what are its responsabilities, else one may "loose ones standing". Meaning go into things with your eyes open!)

    Here's the thing:

    I am the Living Woman [a higher authority under God than ANY leagal fiction] called kali prajita.
    I do not recignise you [just as the court may not recignise any legal entity it chooses not to].
    I do not recognise, or accept your jurisdiction.
    And I grant you no authority over me.

    Argue jurisdiction and appeal the decisions of the lower courts up through the food chain. And make a noise about it.

    Just something I teased out along the way which might inspire..?

    It wont be long before they close off the "justice" system to the unvaxxed so I suspect there's only a small window of oportunity to puicly shatter their aleged 'right' to rule over Gods Creation..

    We have to understand that this is an op by the central banking cabal, to achieve 'reset'. The criminal implementation of our monetary system and its financial stranglehold is what is at stake: this is the fundamental core, and we are all hooked into it. Some more, some less. If you have been paying into pensions and 401k you are hooked, if you own stocks or property through a mortgage you are hooked. It has been on its teeters for a long time. Now we have money printing which doesn't go into the economy but goes into assets. We have companies and a society that is completely unproductive, yet is valuated at trillions.
    That's a million millions, several of them. A house that has dilapidated and is 60 years old is worth 20-50x its price 60 years ago. This is the result of propping up this criminal system for decades and their only way out is to blame the deflation of this bubble on something else, like climate change, viruses, wars. Either way we are shagged but in their thinking they might at least manage to salvage the pensions if everyone is forced to drive an electric car, whose consumption is centrally regulated, basically frugality is forced upon everyone, one way or another. All the while the 1% get more firmly lodged in place.
    The alternative to this would likely mean chaos. Detaching from the financial system would upend everything. So this is why the leadership is on board. They know this and got advance notice.
    It should be brought down. But it will be ugly and we can't just rely on establishing bridgeheads with an alternative system, where Congress solely mints money, but we will need to have enforcements and supply lines in place. But if we play along we are faced with a totalitarian system. Best to bring it down.

    Very good find:).
    Thank you.

    From a couple of comments:
    One:
    “….. massive fatalities for the elderly by deliberate use of patient triage and the use of Midazolam and other accelerated end of life manipulations accompanied by massive DNR and denial of care directives in selected locals as the author discusses.
    On the financial end the author might add the massive sell offs by CEOs in January of 2020 followed by the February spectacular stock market crash the largest in 45 years. This further fills in the narrative which is already quite extensive. Excellent article.”

    Two:
    “…The one thing missing here is the failure to note the next aspect of the game plan, their solution to the inevitable rebellions against the inevitable collapse of the financial system. As you state, this won’t last. They know this.
    Their solution is full spectrum control of the population by transitioning to a digital currency with individual digital IDs based on the vaccine passports.
    Once widespread enough, no resistance will be possible in the new feudal system. No where to hide. They will begin in the core countries, Australia, Canada, Europe, UK, USA and spread out to the periphery.
    Great article.”

    Now, the problem with the article is not offering a solution for a way out which benefits “us”.
    One commenter offers:
    “….Libertarians have often found ourselves benefiting from such analyses while asking, “What is to be done?” (to quote Lenin). Certainly not more power to the pseudoscience bureaucracies. The one factor the globalist genocidalists (for that will be the ultimate results of the kill shot with its mass adverse reactions) fail to consider is us. The continuous antilockdown mass demonstrations prove that not all are sheeple. The next World Wide Demonstration is September 18th…”
    Personally I don’t believe in it. Just me.

    So, as per a brief comment from another fellow:
    “….Amazing article…
    But what is the outcome…i mean what is future…”

    You appear to be interested in following the path around 99% from the “alternative” don’t pay attention too. I share the fault:).
    I guess we have our understanding about what’s going on.
    Would you be able to point to any online material offering a solution to this problem?
    Thx in advance.

    Just to clarify a couple of things related to the previous post.

    Some people are starting to realize that the future could be….difficult…. for them and people they care for.

    At the moment it’s just a vague feeling. It’s interesting to note that while they are still developing that feeling TPTBs are already 18 months into deploying their solution. Add to that at least 6 months of planning. Talking about foresight, planning and especially initiative.

    Then, some of those (with the feeling) actually do think that, perhaps, something should be done about it. As long as it’s a nice hobby or pastime, of course. And feels respectable within middle-class strata, too.
    While TPTBs are 16 hours 7 days a week, working on their solution. Caring only for the end result.
    Talking about resources.

    All articles and most of the commenting here is useless in that game. That’s for authors and commenters.
    Still, there are a couple of commenters and I have a feeling some readers/lurkers who:
    -Feel quite uncomfortable with the future they see.
    -Are willing to do something about that. Keyword “do”. Work on it.
    -More importantly willing to challenge own assumptions and weaknesses.
    -Most importantly willing to take risks and try (keyword try) to assume leadership roles.

    I believe that the next phase in this should be creating network of people who believe they could be that leadership.

    The only way out of this is creating that leadership somehow. Keyword “somehow”.
    Maybe it’s not even possible but that’s the only productive work I can see at this stage.
    The rest is online therapy and even worse.

    Now, around 90 % of people reading this will simply recoil. Good.
    Those 10 % are important. Most will do quick risk/reward analysis and drop the idea. O.K. I suggest don’t drop it, shelve it.
    And it will resonate with 1, 2 %, tops. They’ll start thinking about it. How to do it.
    Good luck.

    Thanks Geo. That really is some quite horrifying, if not entirely unexpected news.

    You know folks, there is no amount of protesting, voting, letters to representatives, blogging, leafleting, debating or anything else that will stop this totalitarian juganaught from accelerating toward cowed and compliant populations.

    That leaves 2 alternatives open to those of us who actually see and comprehend what's coming:

    1. Violence in the form of revolution, which to my thinking can only be counter-productive for 2 reasons:

    a. Because the state is too powerful to be countered in such a way.
    b. Because even IF successful in overthrowing the current 'elites', inevitably the 'new elites' would inherrit exactly the same power-structure, thereby corrupting any decent and honourable intentions of the revolutionaries, who would bow beneith the weight of billion dollar philanthropies and UN think-tanks

    2. We create for ourselves those social, economic and political structures which best serve the needs of the individuals and families with whom we dwell and share in lifes experiences, even as we free ourselves from the grip of systemic tyrrany

    Of course there are dangers inherrent in the second option. The state will (does) attempt to enforce its notion of "law" upon us. And it may even decide to "Ruby Ridge" us, so to speak, though we are a nebulous lot, widely duspersed thus making such attempts very difficult for our foes. Still, we may be forced to defend ourselves physically as well as philisophically/lawfully.

    But we find ourselves with an unforseen advantage in these days of Covidism, in that, as "the state" goes about its haphazard (albeit lockstep) assault on our percieved freedoms, so the more alert amongst the masses recognise the dangers manifesting all around and join our ever-growing ranks. (My own observations from my vantage point outside of the system reveal that, in the last year and a half "our ranks" just in this part of Portugal alone, have swelled significantly!)
    Many amongst us are already well-versed in countering the legal assaults of the state, in establishing economic independence, in engineering, building, agriculture, etc, and share freely our accumulated skills and knowledge.

    Also, interestingly, we count amonst our brothers a significant number of military veterans who prefer to fight for truth than to support the lies of kleptocrats. My own husband was formerly an officer of the Royal Engineers, whilst many of our closest friends are ex-military.
    That means that we have the ability to physically defend ourselves if need be. It also means we have a real chance of freeing others from the internment camps when the time comes. I dare say that the ranks of freedom lovers all around the world are similarly populated by well-trained military men.

    What other options are available to us besides these? That's a serious question. Is there something I'm missing? Should we be waiting for genius "Raches" to lead the way? :o Is it just that we've not been voting hard enough?

    Reclaim the land! It is our birthright and our inherritance.

    In response to Ron Unz, kali writes,


    the world was struck by the biggest psy-op in history which you continue to fail to recognise despite the literally masses of evidence that points clearly in that direction. Now your former star-commenters are relegated to to rank of “crackpot” whilst hyper-manic, sociopath “Raches” gets star treatment. Surreal indeed!
     
    Thanks, Kali, for explaining your position so clearly and forthrightly. Your frustrations are similar to mine. I have participated in the growth of this site and look to it as a remaining oases during a time of fast obliteration of nearly every basis of liberty, including free speech. Ron Unz deserves many cudos for birthing and developing this Internet entity, one that kali rightfully observes seems to have entered troubled waters. What is going on?

    I suspect kali is entering a zone of justifiable skepticism and concern that may be fairly widely shared by those who frequent the Unz Review. In a collegial atmosphere, her unequivocal statement that something is not right, would likely lead to some honest exchanges about the valid questions that have been raised. Do we still have the basis of such an collegial atmosphere at Unz Review?

    I think those who contribute articles and comments that could be declared criminal by our censorious governors are owed a better explanation of what is really going on in a milieu so dominated by the ADL and its many satellite agencies.

    Since I am asking questions I'll go a step further. I read in the terms of legal reference for the UR the following:


    Unless otherwise stated, The Unz Review and/or it’s licensors own the intellectual property rights for all material on The Unz Review. All intellectual property rights are reserved.

     

    Who or what might be a licensor with the Unz Review? Are the property rights to UR content being sold to licensors of UR? Is Unz Review subject to the terms generated by licensors of it? Who or what might be customers of the content?

    I assume this statement of proprietorship of content applies to comments as well as to the published essays. Is that so? Shouldn't the commenters be given a realistic idea of the nature of any commercial transaction involving transfer of rights to the materials we author? How does the proprietorship of the Unz Review site and its content affect the principles governing free speech on this web site.

    On a different but related note, just this morning I was introduced to the commentary of Dr. Mark Trozzi who presents himself as a veteran of emergency services in Toronto hospitals until he resigned on issues of principle. One of his observations is that throughout the time of the COVID crisis the hospitals' emergency units were mostly empty of patients.

    I cannot recall seeing any reference to Dr. Trozzi in the threads so far. From what I can see of his account, any attempt to try to dismiss his commentary as that of an "anti-vaxx crackpot" would be quite perverse. Dr. Trozzi's interpretations remind us that much more is going on than decisions concerning whether or not to vaxx. In spite of the frames of reference created for the three threads so far, we need to keep reminding ourselves that much more is in contention, that it seems we may-- repeat may-- be living through what kali describes as "the biggest psy-op in history."

    In my view Dr. Trozzi presents an unusually rich, succinct and panoramic view of the situation that deserves consideration by those responsible for the 4000 or so comments in these three threads. Dr. Trozzi presents his synthesis in

    What is going on?

    A couple of guys already answered that question in previous/related threads.

    …I’ll go a step further…

    A very short step.
    Keep walking……

    The problem with your intellectual types is inability to understand how the game of power really works.
    Your inability to take a good, hard, look at certain elements of human nature.
    I guess that all idealists, humanists, share that weakness.

    Imagine strolling across a very nice meadow. A rock. You wish to sit there and take a rest.
    Flip the rock. Watch what’s underneath for a couple of minutes.

    And try again reading this and related threads.

    Maybe, just maybe, the time has come to re-focus your efforts into more productive ways of affecting this, and coming, reality.
    That starts with re-evaluating own capabilities, understanding own weaknesses and doing something about it.

    If you want to reply to this, somewhere in this thread is my (temporary) email.
    I mean, if you haven’t realized that any productive talk isn’t possible here anymore than you do have a big problem.

    "We” as 5 % of population, tops. - Probably even less than 5% are ones that are really committed anti-vaxxers who consciously try to be a political force. Most of them are mentally disturbed and socially inadequate who harbor all kinds of crazy ideas like that Japan was attacked with HAARP generated tsunami or that WTC was demolished with nuclear devises (see Truth Vigilanti comments). Theoretically they could be weaponized by some political party but I doubt it.

    The remaining 30-40% of population who is vaccine hesitant becase they haven't vaccinated yet have no strong beliefs and will be easily persuaded and/or coerced to take vaccine when the establishment gets its act together.

    The only reason that the establishment did not come harder against the anti-vaxxers is only because the vaccines turned out to be much less effective than expected. The rate of breakthrough infections is too high so the effectiveness of Pfizer is only 40% against the infection with delta variant. For this reason the anti-vaxxers can't be charged as potential thread to the health and safety of general population as the vaccinated are only 1.67 times less like to be infectious than the unvaccinated. However the effectiveness of vaccine against hospitalization is high around 80%. So one way to move against the anti-vaxxers is to burden them with hospitalization costs and with increase of the health insurance premiums.

    Replies: @Dumbo, @peterAUS

    ….really committed anti-vaxxers…

    I believe you got me confused with somebody else.
    Maybe a little clarification, now that I left an email here, is needed.

    I am not an anti-vaxer (whatever that might be).

    I am…for the lack of better word…”methodologist”, and experienced one.

    I’ve gone through TWO real world outbreaks, both quite lethal for those infected, during my service, and studied/had papers about biological warfare. Exercises…oh my. Spent more time in NBC suit than most of you guys with that muzzle on your faces. So..know something about the current topic and can’t really get impressed by anyone here trying to lecture me about it.
    I don’t buy the official narrative here, all the way from virus isolation to deployment of vaccines.

    I also know something about decision making process in crisis. About use of media in true crisis. What we’ve seen so far isn’t it. It’s a “fear porn” and power grab.

    Then, I know something about how the world of finance works. Or how to “follow the money”…..
    Long term debt cycle, compound interest, derivatives, margin calls etc…

    So, extremely briefly:
    There IS a serious crisis, it’s just not the virus. It’s collapsing of the current and, more importantly, on the fly redesigning of the new world financial system.
    And….creation of the new type of society in developed world to support that system.
    For the thick: CBDC and social credit.

    The virus narrative is to enable lockdowns.
    Lockdowns are to destroy small, weaken medium players, shape public opinion and develop and deploy means of mass control of populace.
    All that to “build back better”. For the 1 % and their..say…9 % errand boys/girls, naturally. Worse for the 90% of people.

    Or, for really thick: sharp centralization of wealth and power. Consequently, sharp loss of wealth and power for people like me and I guess most of people reading this. Poverty and loss of freedom, really.

    So far “they” are winning and “we” are losing, hard.
    The level of “sheepleness” of most people has been surprising. The level of incompetence for those who do see something missing has been quite disappointing. Inability to organize first and foremost.

    My ONLY public interest in this topic is about “how to get organized to try to counter this….”. Keyword ORGANIZE.

    It’s easy to envisage, at this stage, hundreds of millions of isolated, disorganized persons in developed world, not happy with the paradigm. Unable to change anything for better too.

    Futile protests, bursts of pent up rage directed against wrong targets, lone wolf acts also against wrong targets. An impotent mess simply reinforcing the paradigm.

    The challenge is figuring out how to organize that mass discontent into something effective. The rest is waste of time and energy.

    Hope that clears the air.

    Please do keep posting.

    The only step I have taken so far is to stay in contact with my neighbor downstairs, also a refusenik, who says he is reaching out out to others (he is a health practitioners, so althoiugh he must tread carefully he has a sense of which of his patients are also refuseniks).

    I have also written a letter to the local paper calling out "death wish for the unvaccinated" types of messages that they have printed in their letter column.

    I wonder whether there is any point in actually writing letters to our elected representatives: to protest vaxx passports, to supply them with info that they might not otherwise be getting.

    OTOH people such as Whitney Webb advise just keeping a low profile and not calling attention to oneself.

    I am in a very blue state. So it is hard to gauge what people are thinking and doing (i.e., 1/3 of local voters voted for Trump, but local newspapers operated on the assumption that no one would ever vote for Trump; the idea is just too outlandish; IOW the operative asssumption seems to be that there is total consensus and if you dissent in any way you are labeled a Trump supporter by, say, commenters!). Vaxx mandates from the local boards of health for all employees.

    It does seem to me that the inefficacy of the jabs and the constant need for boosters might open some eyes as to the bait and switch that has been pulled.

    There are no ways to organise against this vast, nebulous attack on freedom within the current paradigm that I can fathom, UNLESS we organise to establish a whole NEW, apolitical paradigm in which individual autonomy together with community support networks and intra-community trade/exchange links underpin our social and economic life.

    In other words, IF our thinking remains locked into the current "democratic" mode then we ourselves will remain locked in this unfree "state" which has been imposed on us and which is anything BUT demos.

    We must, if we are to survive as a free and sentient species, ESTABLISH our freedom and independance for ourselves AND be ready to create, promote and defend a new socio-economic structure REGARDLESS of current power structures which we must undermine and defeat.

    Government is not our friend. Centralised power works predominantly to consolidate itself and further its own grip on power.

    Fate attention (as my friend, Tiu Alvero says)! Be Aware! Our problems cannot be resolved by the same kind of thinking that created them.

    So please, as you move forward to organise against this assault on life and freedom, understand that a contemorary mind-set will not help.

    Sorry for the lecture, which is aimed not only at you, PeterAUS, but at everyone seeking a way out. I feel that the point needs making and emphisising: Thinking shaped by the current paradigm cannot bring the necessary changes this world so desparately needs!

    Meanwhile, as for the situation on the ground in Australia, I recall a commenter in UR saying (or words to this effect), that we Aussies had capitulated to the Covid tyranny and were prostrating ourselves to our governmental overlords.

    Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Let me give you some background information before showing you a 1 min video .

    The whole east coast of Australia is under hard lockdown (the three largest states comprising two-thirds of the population). Concurrent with that, restrictions are in force like not being able to travel further than 5km away from your home - unless you're deemed an essential worker.

    Well, there was a lot of pushback from people involved in relationships that lived further than 5km from each other with associated psychological blow-back that led to suicidal tendencies.

    So the government relented and as long as you nominate your intimate partner beforehand, you're allowed to visit them under the 'One-on-One Bubble' exemption.

    You'll hear that term in the video below as a police constable busts a truckie for a mask violation (you Yanks call them truckers), who is with his buddy or co-worker.

    Enjoy:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlemzhuZc_o

    Now I ask you, how many of your countrymen have the guts to talk to police that way in your part of the world ?

    Aussies can get away with that because a lot of Aussie coppers know the Covid psyop is bullshit.
    There have been resignations galore and/or coppers refusing to enforce a lot of the government edicts.

    MOREOVER, there is already a breakaway movement within the police force here in NSW (largest state of Oz), that is coalescing and building in numbers, I have been told, that is threatening to derail this totalitarianism.

    “They” are well organized, have enormous resources and clear goal/agenda. The real movers and shakers, that is.

    But even if you are personally correct, when you look at the collective you have to face the reality that the vast majority of people value their life over all else except, perhaps, the life of their children and other close family (which is what makes soldiers fight).
     
    What actually makes soldiers fight has been established from the beginning. It is "unit solidarity". No infantryman sitting in his trench is thinking about wife, family, country, freedom, profits or anything else beyond his most immediate challenges. What makes him jump out of the trench and run into gunfire is his willingness to die for the men he knows up and down the trench. Basic infantry training is nothing more than a few weeks or months of lifting a man out of his previous life and replacing all those instincts of the previous life with "unit solidarity".

    How does this apply to the Covid imperative? One thing you notice immediately is that conformity to the lockdown rules is much more rigid and well-enforced now that the curve has been flattened than it was at the beginning, when it would have been more critical. People are beginning to replace their pre-Covid skepticism with the new values. This has occurred even though the rules become less and less tied to rational dangers and seem to change with every new whim of the rulers.

    The lesson is that people are very easily herded into any system where social solidarity and emotional sloganeering can be applied.

    “So on whose behalf are these lockdowns being imposed? Certainly not Trump who’s wanted to lift them from Day 1. No, it’s his surrounding cast, like the affable Dr Anthony Fauci who just recently appeared before the Senate and ominously cautioned them against lifting restrictions too soon”

    Last I heard a President has enormous powers, especially during a national emergency and certainly has the power to act against states that violate their citizens constitutional rights. Eisenhower sent in the National Guard to open up schools. Pretty sure destroying the economy hurts national security.

    Trump is playing a leading role in what is basically a global coup d’etat is taking place.

    Lets look back.

    Crimson Contagion by the Trump administration’s US Department of Health and Human Services (January-August 2019).

    Urban Outbreak Exercise, by the US Naval War College and Johns Hopkins (September 2019). Followed immediately by the US government’s creation of Flu Vaccine Task Force.

    Event 201, by Johns Hopkins, the World Economic Forum, and Gates Foundation (October 2019).

    My god, you think they would have been better prepared or were they just looking for weaknesses in any response so they could exploit them ?

    Trump made Robert Kadlec in charge of the Pandemic as Assistant Secretary of Pandemic Preparation and Response and is now responsible for doling out stock piles and funding for drugs and vaccines development and purchasing.
    This responsibility was taken from CDC just last year . CDC was responsible for the stockpile before this . Indeed, he was the positions creator 15 years ago and just happened to get appointed at the right time. Whistleblower Bright worked for him at BARDA. Kadlec participated in the June 2001 exercise simulating a bioweapons attack called “Dark Winter.” The Dark Winter exercise predicted many aspects of what would follow months later during the anthrax attacks. He also led the Crimson Contagion Exercises

    Kadlec has former ties with Emergent BioSolutions a large vaccine manufacturer that has received hundreds of millions in funding from the Military and BARDA, and is partnered with another company (Novavax) that is also fast tracking a Covid Vaccine with Gates CEPI support,

    We all know 5G roll out has been a Trump priority since 2017 despite safety concerns. He is also hot on AI and Robotics which is tied to 5G. He created the National Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (NSAIC ) in 2018 by Trump . In 2019 they recommended” structural” changes for the American economy and society so as to follow China’s lead and surpass them in AI-driven technologies, particularly mass surveillance, self driving cars, fleet ownership of cars replacing personal ownership, cashless society, herding people into high urban density areas, eliminating in-store shopping, etc.

    Trump then signs an EO making AI development a national security priority. Although the US is the leader in developing AI technology we fail in the adoption phase due to structural factors and privacy rights which must be changed or removed.

    Republican Senate recently just struck down an amendment to strengthen privacy rights, because we aren’t going to have any when all is said and done

    One of Trumps key funders and advisers is one of the founders of PayPal and Palantir Technologies, Peter Thiel.. Thiel has been working with data analysis and is an eager promoter of the transhumanist concepts of Singularity, Artificial Intelligence and life-extending technologies .

    Thiel’s own company Palantir is partly funded by the CIA and frequently contracted by the Intelligence Services of Israel and USA. Its software may be running Common Core.

    In Reagans days Ollie North oversaw the creation of a database that later became known simply as “Main Core.” The Main Core database, was essentially a list of American dissidents and “potential troublemakers.” Main Core today likely involves the same software now used by every U.S. intelligence agency and numerous other federal agencies that is marketed by Palantir, a company created and owned by Trump ally Peter Thiel. Palantir’s software boasts “predictive policing” capabilities and tracks a category of person using the label “subversive,” very much in keeping with the spirit of Main Core.

    At the Bilderbergs meeting 2019, under the motto “A Stabile Strategic Order “ and with an agenda obviously connected to AI and monitoring technologies, there were several prominent participants closely connected to Donald Trump: his son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner (business-partner with another participant of the particular meeting – Peter Thiel), the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (former head of the CIA) and Trump’s close friend, Henry Kissinger.

    Thiel is a recurring attendee at the Bilderberg meetings, was present in 2019 and is a member of the Steering Committee together with Marcus Wallenberg, Eric Schmidt from Google, and Thiel’s colleague from Palantir, Alex Karp.

    Eric Schmidt, the former head of Alphabet – Google’s parent company, And fellow member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee with Thiel is Chairman of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI).

    In 2018 Thiel invested (with Jeffrey Epstein) in the Israeli company Carbyne which is backed by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak. Carbyne now offers as a result of Covid-19 remote-control-tracking and monitoring of infected individuals. Carbyne’s platform can be deployed immediately and seamlessly to remotely monitor and track CoronaVirus patients, as well as those quarantined, thus reducing the risk of exposure and minimizing the spreading of the virus.

    Meanwhile Operation Blackout simulations led by Israeli company(Cybereason) in conjunction with US military and security agencies are continuing, predicting hackers will take down the power grid to cancel elections . Carbyne was an indirect participant. On Carbyne911’s leadership team is former Unit 8200 commander Pinchas Buchris. He was also an adviser to Cybereason and no doubt was part of the simulation.

    Trump issues EO on May 1 to protect the power grid, as if that was never a priority after 9/11

    Before elections, a vaccine will be ready thanks to Operation Warp Speed , Project Jumpstart” and “RAPID USA,” and the mobilization of the military to administer these vaccinations.

    Trump hired Dr. Slaoui to head Operation Warp Speed. Slaoui has worked in the pharmaceutical industry on vaccine development for decades.
    He worked former GlaxoSmithKline Chairman of its Vaccines Division until 2017. While at GSK Slaoui headed the development of Cervarix. Its Cervarix HPV cervical cancer vaccine was reported tied to multiple deaths or severe crippling effects in many recipients. In 2015 the Indian Supreme Court investigated charges that young Indian village girls died after being given Cervarix from Slaoui’s GSK. It was done in illegal vaccine “human guinea pig” tests of the HPV vaccine where neither the girls nor their parents were told what it was. The study was reportedly funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

    Several companies he has worked with or sits on the Board of Directors are funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    One of these companies, Moderna Therapeutics , is conducting research on RNA vaccines in partnership with the U.S. government’s organization, DARPA. In 2016, Slaoui was appointed to the Board of Directors of Moderna Therapeutics, the apparent front runner for the Covid vaccine although multiple vaccines are likely to be approved to handle 8 billion shots or more annually. The US government gave the company a staggering $483 million of funding to fast-track the COVID-19 vaccine while Slaoui was heading its development . He also still holds $10 million worth of Moderna stock options, options likely to soar in value as the Warp Speed zooms forward.

    The FDA with the backing of Tony Fauci’s NIAID in the NIH, granted Phase I human trials of the never-before approved mRNA vaccine on April 27. They skipped normal animal, usually rat, testing, to go directly to human guinea pig tests. Moderna says Phase II trial will assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of two vaccinations of mRNA-1273 given 28 days apart. They will enroll 600 healthy adults for the experiment and supposedly follow their health for 12 months after the second vaccination. The plan is to begin human vaccinations by year end.

    A House of Representatives’ Bill H.R. 6666, the “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (‘TRACE’) Act” was introduced on May 1, incorporating what is considered the number of the beast in the Book of Revelation.The bill grants $100 BILLION to entities around the country “to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts.”

    Curiously the CDC placed recruiting advertisements for dozens of quarantine officers in 20 locations last fall. While quarantine has been a CDC responsibility the need for such a large number of new officers is curious especially as there was no pandemic in sight

    Administration officials – Jared Kushner, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Alex Azar have “widely circulated” memos throughout the administration relating to proposals from 3 companies – Collective Medical, PatientPing and Juvare – to collectively “supply the government with information on where and how many patients are seeking care across 80 percent of the U.S. ‘in short order.’”

    It is also worth pointing out the significance of Jared Kushner’s involvement in leading this effort, as his wife Ivanka Trump – the President’s daughter – was one of the leading proponents of a proposed program last year called the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA). ." 

    HARPA aims to develop an artificial intelligence-based system that would analyze data harvested from consumer electronic devices as well as information provided by health-care providers to identify those who might threaten others. While yet to be approved it waiting in the wings

    Then there is Barr's new and not unrelated but recently announced Pre-Crime program that is likely to define "mental illness" to include political beliefs. Officially known as the “National Disruption and Early Engagement Program” (DEEP), it aims to “identify, assess and engage” potentially violent individuals “before they strike.”

    The FBI recently stated in an internal memo "conspiracy theories" were motivating some domestic terror threats and a series of questionable academic studies link "conspiracy theorists" to mental illnesses. 

    The possibility of pre-crime detention was also present in the DOJ’s recent request for new “emergency powers” The inclusion of the term “pre-arrest” likely means that “you could be arrested and never brought before a judge until they decide that the emergency or the civil disobedience is over. “

    Looking back it looks like a planned op. Operation End Times. A New Order out of Chaos.

    I think this is related to the information that Whitney Webb revealed recently......the idea that elements in our government (small hats?) are making the claim that because China has facial recognition cameras everywhere and other technological means of surveillance, China will now leap ahead of us with advanced artificial intelligence as a result of the information they obtain from having constant observation of the populace.

    Their solution is to get rid of our "legacy" institutions, such as our Constitution/ Bill of Rights, etc., and impose the same kind of police state that China has, in the name of "progress."

    It's totally bizarre and insane.

    I read that China claims to be able to predict which individuals are predisposed to crime by having studied their populace/criminal class and come up with analysis that take into account a host of variables including facial features, contacts, family history, schooling, etc., and they say they can predict criminality much of the time.

    Ostensibly the government says they want to curtail school shootings, but as we know, legislation always winds up targeting innocent white men as "terrorists."

    IMHO, all of this ties into small hat paranoia and fears of another eviction.

    I do not believe any of it is legitimately tied to a sincere desire to make life better for our citizens.

    Well, that’s The Topic which has been interesting to me since the beginning of the panic-flu.

    My take is that a lot of people actually didn’t buy the plandemic, BUT, not keen to confront the system. Simply too much to lose (fines, jail). Or, too much money to lose for a matter of principle or simple inconvenience.
    BUT, what happens when that equation doesn’t work anymore? No money either way.

    Pierce was correct, of course. There is, really, just one thing that matters to Americans. Or any Westerner. Or, when you really think about it, to any person on this planet.
    So…what happens when that thing is taken away from you?

    If some people are correct we are, in a couple of months, about to really feel the …ahm..”recession”.The real pain. How are we going to react to it is The Question.
    I guess the Admins will reintroduce the ….”plague”. Heavy lockdown. The second wave or whatever; they’ll think about something to keep us under control.
    Maybe this time a lot of people won’t buy it. Such people tend to vent their anger. Maybe even through mass protests.
    Now….what happens when, OK, if, several thousand people congregate in front of offices of local Administrators yelling thier demands? That could break the fear block on the “normies”. Can’t be allowed to happen.
    The Admins will use force.
    The real question is…what happens if…when, batons and water cannon can’t work?

    You could be correct in “I wonder if the rank and file has the moral courage to do the right thing.”
    But, at the same time, cops aren’t dumb. And, more importantly, among those protesters can, very likely, be their neighbors, even friends.

    I know that the answer to that question can’t be found anywhere on DR. Probably nowhere in public. In fact, I am sure that TPTBs are working hard to get that answer as we speak. So far they’ve shown an excellent forward-thinking and execution of that. “We” failed. Miserably.
    Maybe…just maybe..next time “we” could do better. Three months from now?!

    Not holding my breath, of course.

  • If enough people disobey the counterfeit authority of Newsom with regard to the lockdown and associated edicts, he and his minions will not be able to do anything about it! If he reacts with more extended violence, well, we’ll have to decide what to do at that point. Chances are that he will be forced to do nothing

    The crux of all this, even on a global scale, applied locally.

    Maybe, just maybe, a couple of guys here could try to think about:
    WHEN the pain of economic..ahm…recession…hits the middle class in the West (some say in three months) will it go as planned as TPTBs or not? So far it’s been simply beautiful from their point of view. BUT, the real pain still hasn’t hit. The fear of the…ahm…. plague still overshadows, at the moment, the fear of living in poverty.

    Or, the ONLY question that really interests me in all this plandemic is: will TPTBs be capable to use force against the protesters?
    Or, more accurately: do the top of the Administrator class. locally, in the West, have the guts to order security services to open fire?
    And, do the rank and especially the file, have the guts to execute (pun intended) the order?

    In my book, all hinges on that.
    Don’t have the full answer, although have some ideas about how all that will roll out.

    Let me cut through all this speculative noise with Occam's Razor.

    The virus is natural. The CCP elites are using it in exactly the same way the USG and EU elites are. Both financial systems and economies were clearly crashing beginning in early September. Now the elites get to blame all the troubles on a virus (which isn't actually killing anyone in interesting numbers). Absent the WuFlu they'd all risk getting strung up pretty soon. Now instead of being called out for the decade+ of ineptitude that lead to a collapsing global bubble economy, they get to be praised as heroes that saved everyone from dying.

    Now that I've cleared up all that nonsense about a bioweapon and grand scheme to kneecap China, I have to say that the "China inevitably taking over" narrative is rather ridiculous, flu or not. Japan re-ascendant and taking back Manchokou is more believable. As the USA washes its hands of these messes overseas and pulls back homeward, China is in the worst position. All its neighbors hate it and will check it. China has been the #1 beneficiary of Pax Americana this century. Well, Americans are rapidly losing interest in that project.

    From what we can gather by now moderation is done by the authors themselves with Ron perhaps overseeing this and able to add his own layer of moderation on top if he sees fit or chances upon some comment or other. With authors being so busy I think it is quite possible when looking through a list of new comments that they may forget to release the odd comment into general circulation.

    There have been a few commenters who claim that they have been outright banned from certain threads by the authors in question but they tend to make more "forceful" comments, judging from their history, and they may have offended the authors personally. I would be surprised that peterAUS would be censored as he generally tends to make comments of a non-committal nature and is not offensive to others. In fact some have complained that he is rather vague, and he often just questions what others write or requests further explanations. If you feel that you have been censored, you can try re-posting the same comment on another related thread. As there are so many threads on this coronavirus, perhaps peterAUS could re-post his comments under some other newer article by another author with a note that he couldn't get the same through on Steve Sailer's blog.

    The quote from the comment of The Grim Joker from the thread “The Great Chinese Bat Flu Panic of 2020” describes the…ahm…rational part of it:

    …My conclusion based on extensive research, and in-depth study and irrefutable evidence is that the majority of the population are simpletons, morons, retarded and complete asses and idiots and lack not the slightest bit of sense. Whatever shit is shovelled their way they eagerly slurp it up. People have lost their ability to think and reason.

    Our ancestors “uneducated” as they were would never have bought into the garbage that is bandied about today masquerading as news and information….

    Perhaps the growing xenophobia, the hatred, mistrust, and suspicion of foreigners, as a result of this panic doesn't tie in with the goals of the globalists but I think they can work it into their plans.

I'm not personally like that but if it helps the cause of the sovereignists I'm not much complaining. And if all the withholding of medical services to the ill and elderly of one's own nation (since they're sending so many medical staff into self-isolation because they were in contact with a suspected coronavirus carrier, telling the ill not to bother turning up at hospitals and clinics as their facilities are stretched, etc.) leads to a lower regard for life, well, maybe those Greek border guards could start using live rounds. Anyway, the Afghanis and Pakistanis who now make up the bulk of the immigrants heading to Europe have all made their way through Iran so even less reason to let them in. And if the coronavirus kills off many of the geriatrics holding office and the old rich bastards, that's not so bad either.

    If we impose Chinese-style controls
     
    And now we've arrived at the heart of the matter and the reason they concocted this phoney virus in the first place (why else would they need the MSM to fan the flames of panic and hysteria?).

    I can't be the only one who well remembers the Wild West days of the Internet that went on for years after September 11th 2001 when people said that the next False Flag would come in the form of a virus.

    It wasn't for nothing that the great cultural historian Morse Peckham* titled his masterpiece

    Explanation and Power: The Control Of Human Behavior.

    Just as it's also not for nothing that almost no one today knows who Morse Peckham is (was).

    A mini-Peckham bio follows for the purpose of illustrating and substantiating a point well worth making.

    *Morse Peckham (1914 - 1993) Emeritus Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvannia and the University of South Carolina. Considered by many as the greatest scholar of Romanticism and the greatest literary theorist of the 20th century.

    Peckham was at home in both The Arts & Sciences, having been asked by a group of scientists to edit the variorum text of the 100th anniversary edition of Darwin's Origin of Species after having published his classic Darwinism and Darwinisticism, which made a clear distinction between what Darwin actually wrote and what people said about what he wrote.

    Peckham was also approached by the head of AT&T and the Provost of the University of Penn to start an educational program for business executives in the 1950's, for which he wrote Humanistic Education for Business Executives (also out of print).

    It was enormously successful but squashed after a few years because it was enormously successful. AT&T and other interested companies came to realize that you just can't have executives questioning the board of directors, let alone question what it is an executive actually does and why.

    Dashed, but not discouraged, Peckham went on to pen the single greatest book of cultural history ever.

    For anyone interested the book is Beyond The Tragic Vision: The Quest for Identity in the Nineteenth Century. Though the frankfurter school and cultural marxist/identity politics crowd didn't hesitate to use the book, they also permitted it to go out of print, since Beyond The Tragic Vision is to Identity Politics what daylight is to Dracula.

    Being aggressively anti-metaphysical Peckham wasn't on the Right or Left and was a great proponent of cultural transcendence, an intelligent moving beyond the limits of a culture's belief systems (as innovators do in the Arts & Sciences all the time), which he viewed as no more than temporary adaptive strategies.

    He used to tell his graduate students that they should force their ideas to the wall, dig in their pockets, and if they yielded nothing of value, cut their throats without mercy. Could you imagine one single professor today talking like that - ever?

    He saw both the Right and Left as two 18th century Enlightenment ideologies that had long since outlived their usefulness and as a result were totally maladaptive to the exhausting task and unrewarding responsibility of social management in the modern age.

    And now we're back to this obviously phoney virus which is revealing the lack of subtly, intelligence, and imagination of our world leaders.

    Their answer to the chaos that IS the modern age?

    Brute Force. Top Down. In short, Communism.

    The virus being their latest attempt at "Social Management."

    And, even giving the benefit of the doubt (not that after all they've done they deserve it) the elite are sincere and this is a real virus, then their absolute lack of social management skills will be even more obvious to see, more impossible to hide, and make them even more dependent on brute force, which, of course, is ultimately so destablizing that it totally disrupts economic activity, which, presumably is the whole point of what they're all about.

    The longer the hostile elite of the world are in control the less we should laugh at the dinosaurs for getting themselves extinct. After all, they lasted a lot longer than we have so far.

    Replies: @CCZ, @peterAUS

    …destablizing that it totally disrupts economic activity, which, presumably is the whole point of what they’re all about.

    Actually, the point is about “market correction” necessary for the system to go on. Boom/bust circle thing. Time for the “bust”.

    How to do it?
    a)Admit that system isn’t quite O.K?
    b)Admit that the checks and balances done after 2008 are incorrect?
    And all that in the current social-political climate, when the proles ARE asking some questions?
    No way.
    c) Use a flu strain and PUMP IT UP. When the economy “corrects” itself the virus will take all the blame. And, of course, as a bonus, more system control will be imposed on societies.

    Now, you tell me it’s not working like charm?

    There is one thing I am trying to figure out.
    Some projections are that the “crunch” will result in 0.5 % GDP growth this year. Now….what that exactly means, for a common “deplorable”, is something I am trying to picture.
    Or…how much of job loss, mortgage defaulting, loss of spending power….etc….it will be?
    In simple terms: what will the cost of recession for us little guys?
    I know it won’t hurt the top.

    My guess, for what it's worth, is this is probably the big one.

    In other words, many will not survive.

    The best any of us can do now is to make doubly, absolutely, UTTERLY sure that those who do survive settle the scores once and for all with ALL those responsible for what we have come to, and start over afterwards with a clean slate - if possible.

    There is a tide in the affairs of men
    Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
    Omitted, all the voyage of their life
    Is bound in shallows, and in miseries.
    On such a full sea are we now afloat,
    And we must take the current as it serves,
    Or lose our ventures.

Every time I fire up the old PC I am bombarded with yet another "story", another hypothesis, another theory, another opinion and yet another photo of 20 or so people with only two of them wearing masks. If this virus is so deadly why are only TWO wearing masks. Some are wearing masks and sunglasses and I am surprised some enterprising soul has not yet marketed designer masks in various colours.

    Then, as if this is not enough we enter into another series of stories, hypotheses, theories, medical papers, studies and new scientific discoveries that masks do not work !! ?? That said, the dummies out there are equipping their dogs, cats, parrots and ferrets with masks and I am now seeing more and more animals being pushed around in baby carriages

    Then Corona plunged the markets and yesterday "OIL AND CORONA" sent the markets into a dive. Who knows what today will bring, I predict a glut of doo doo paper will sink the market by another 2000 points.

    They launch a new virus-boogeyman on us about every 12 to 18 months. This one is overdue.

    Because they follow the same patterns of propaganda each time, I knew they were about to spring another virus-boogeyman on us two and a half weeks prior to the "outbreak.

    If this were a real outbreak of any consequence, they'd be telling us the opposite of what they are currently telling us: "There's nothing to worry about. Return to your desks." Instead they seem determined to alarm. And then there is the fact that nothing is going on in the region of the world with close ties to China, and much poverty and many crowded and filthy cities: South and Southeast Asia. Mexico city?! And Vancouver, BC, and San Francisco have many more ethnic Chinese and much deeper connections to China than Seattle.

    Adding it all up, and factoring in their prior lies and gaslighting, one should ignore the fear they seek to instill, and instead search for their agenda(s), the motivation for their latest virus-boogeyman.

    The chief agenda for this virus-boogeyman appears to be the propping up of the American economy until they have kicked off their war with Iran. They were losing their ability to manage the fallout from their plundering, and so needed something to hide behind while they reconfigure things. Now they have something to blame any pain and misery on, and an excuse for the strong dollar (lowering of price-inflation) and collapse of oil prices (Ditto.) Oh, and of course, more grabs of wealth and power from We the People.

    I've never trusted this Dr.Li story to be honest, it made my internal fake meter go off big time. In fact this whole corona virus issue seems like badly done deep state propaganda. All of the evidence that we have so far, both from the main stream sources like Governments and from the alternative sources like social media is fishy at best. Of course you have some videos where you see people who are genuinely worried and in some cases terrified. But how do we know these people are not simply fooled by the propaganda themselves, or are perhaps deep state actors? We all know how easily people are fooled.

    I'll be the first to admit that my suspicions are wrong if and when I witness real proof of a pandemic, but as of now, I don't buy any of it, none, ziltch.

    Now that being said, there is zero doubt that something big is afoot! And that whatever the case may be, it is all being done with extreme intention. That is obvious.

    How about “recession”? Hard one.

    Say, for the sake of conversation, that “they” realized sometime in the middle of 2019 that, in order to preserve the current paradigm, “market correction” was necessary. And, it has to be done in a way that masses don’t get any funny ideas about the paradigm itself. Or the rulers of it.
    Or, in practical terms: lay off tons of people, make them lose their property/savings/whatever…pretty much crash their lives…BUT…that’s not because “we” are too greedy and the system is rigged. People could get…unmanageable.
    The crash must not point to “us” or the system itself.

    Enter the virus.

    Now….when the masses do lose their jobs, property, homes…etc….they’ll blame the virus, not “us” or the system. They’ll blame CPP too. Nice.
    And, even better: all those controls we impose to …ahm…control the pandemic…will be handy to handle those who don’t go with the program. For example..hehe…we won’t have any mass protests.
    Deplatforming will work for Internet.

    All good.
    For “us”, of course.

    A lot of it appears to be “our” media playing the story up in hopes of intentionally tanking the market and with luck the economy... this will be their cudgel to finish off the orange man by denying his proudest “accomplishment”. Then a democrat president can finalize (((the long dreamt of))) disinheritance of white christians in their own country.

    A lot of people on the right (being fed up with the neoliberal zionist status quo) seem to just love the concept of a good happening and are consequently absolutely giddy about the prospect of a horrific global pandemic. One way to see how emotionally driven this contrary impulse is... tell a doomsayer that maybe things won’t be that bad. They’ll act terrifically hurt and disappointed... actually outraged at the mere possibility that world war Z isn’t starting and millions of untimely deaths aren’t on the horizon.

    So it’s a rare case where the left and the right are working together to try to do the sensationalist bit on the normies. Meanwhile no one has credibly explained how or why this virus is appreciably worse than the regular ol’ flu. If you’re 80 and that anxious about your mortality, you probably need some ol’ time religion, not a new vaccine.

    The only contrary evidence seems to be the odd behavior of China, which is indeed strange. But chinese so inscrutabuhr! By our lights a LOT of things chinese do don’t make any sense. I imagine people here have seen the empty cities they build? Their odd fixation on taiwan and tiger penis? The fact that chinese women happily marry our goofiest nerds? Is the fact that they’ve gone all out mandating quarantines really that out of character?

    If this all blows over as it appears likely to, and as all the similar scares have done, will the happening expecters eat crow (or bat, which looks pretty similar)? If we all are crawling around as horrific lepers in a post apocalyptic wasteland run by chinese umbrella corp - I’ll promise to gasp out my apologies with my corona ravaged lungs.

    Like Weapons of Mass Destruction, babies being thrown out of incubators, Jews made into soap and lampshades, Gulf of Tonkin, the Russiagate hoax, and the like?

    I'm beginning to think so, although I haven't watched James Corbett's report yet. Corbett always follows the bouncing ball, doesn't he?

    My thinking is they had to find a way to shut down China's manufacturing because the globalists hugely increased their inventories ahead of Trump's tariffs. Demand slowed down, and now they have a huge supply to get rid of. If you're interested in a different theory, see my response to Paul Craig Roberts' new article on Unz.

    how about “addressing hard recession”?

    Let’s say that “they” simply saw the hard recession was coming. Question: how to manage that, or, better, how to manage the herd? “We” sold them last time (2008) that “we” found the way to fix it; wouldn’t happen again. And, yet, it’s happening. Herd could start asking wrong questions.

    Enter the virus.

    Economy “contracting”, markets “correcting”….herd losing jobs,homes etc. ….isn’t about faulty system, no, no.
    It’s simply the virus doing. And, on top of it, it came from China. With sprinkling of Iran. Those two countries (regimes, mind you, not people) just appear to be ….somehow wrong. Maybe the world should do something about it? Even by force if necessary?

    And, the last but not the least, to manage all that “we” have, unfortunately of course, to introduce all sorts of rules and laws. All of them giving “us” more control over the herd.

Both wings of the political establishment are fundamentally opposed to even basic protections and rights for dissidents and will continue with not only the unyielding support of every major institution but the tacit acceptance of an ignorant, apathetic, or terrified public.

    What can possibly be done? They leave only one option but that option ends up hurting the cause more and justifying even greater repression.

    I agree ! But 600,00 a year is 600,000 a year.

    In tropical bush there are also a host of other deadly germs (black water fever, dengue, yellow fever ) including some not even discovered by science.

    Then we come to deaths by car accidents, homicide and suicide, war ..... The count from all these must be in the millions. Yet, we barely hear a peep ..

    I dont know how many have croaked due to Corona ( 2-3 thousand) and I dont really care, not because I am cold to human suffering but because I am bored with the constant barrage of virus news. One article I read recently is that "The Virus is mild but that is good and bad". Certainly an interesting headline when one considers it. I saw a photo yesterday of a group of about 20 people, 2 who were Chinese were wearing masks. The rest were all bare nosed. Duh and huh !! ??

    What I find interesting is :
    -how this issue is flogged 24/7 by the media.
    -how folks are so easily panicked
    -how the whole issue has become a mania

    I can just imagine the editor of one news story putting out an article like this " Monkey in Brazil may have virus. Billions could die in South America". Notice the use of the words MAY and COULD. Also no one would question why a monkey would be transported out of the Amazon for the Corona test.

    We humans may be at the top of the food chain and supposedly the most intelligent animals on earth but God, the majority are as dumb as a roof shingle.

    Its the old story. Soon this b/s will die down as the public wearies of it or some other drama arises. In the meantime folks are getting their shorts in a knot over another non event.

    The lunacy is getting out of control. Yesterday I saw a woman pushing her dog in a cart and Rover was wearing a mask. She and some other fruit cake then blocked the isle to engage in a long conversation about the risk of infection to the dog with the other lady pledging to get a mask for HER dog.

    In a similar vein, note that Ron Unz’s recent decision to recognize and encourage certain commenters fits into his overall strategy.

    He recognized six commenters, of which two are Muslims but none are WNs. This is another important m0ve in his game of chess, and comprises of Step 5.

    Step 1 : Make a website that WNs use (since they can never build anything on their own). Let any and all anti-Semitic slurs stand on the website to make WN wiggers complacent and even keyboard-courageous.
    Step 2 : Recruit the 2-3 intelligent authors that WNs read (Sailer, Derbyshire, etc.) who happen to bad at making money, so that they write for very little payment.
    Step 3 : After a few years, start pushing for normalization of Hispanics (even if illegal; especially if illegal).
    Step 4 : Deploy columnists like Fred Reed and Chanda Chisala to generate even more confusion.
    Step 5 : Elevate six commenters, of which two are Muslims, but none are White Trashionalists, in order to generate friction between the two in true Hasbara style.

    They don't have a dialect of their own, they speak East Herzegovinian dialect of the Serbian language, which is the same as Serbs in South-Western Serbia, Serbs in B&H and Krajina Serbs. That is the main standard of the Serbian language.

    Concerning "them", we could argue that "they" have been in power to influence the Balkan theater of the world since the Anglo-Saxon powers took over the world domination game, but not before, so blaming Germany, Vatican or Austria-Hungary seems more logical since they have been in the anti-Serbian game for far longer.

    Jasenovac and the whole WWII experience also has a part in it, true(in 1941, the Western Serbs, Serbs west of the Drina river have been 1/3 of the Croatian/Bosnian population, now they are 1/8 of the population in the same area).

    Some Serbian national thinkers have been characterized as anti-Semitic, like Jaša Tomić, for example, but most of them are from the Serbian regions which were within Austria-Hungary, so largely influenced by Catholic and European thinkers.

    One interesting hypothesis for the lack of Serbian anti-Semitism isn't the "uncomfortable" part of it(Serbs, after all waged a "mini-World War" against NATO, and feel no shame about it), but rather that the the whole inherently anti-Semitic Christian mythology has been replaced by Kosovo mzthos and national mythology within the Serbian national character(Branković replaced Judas, Kniaz Lazar replaced Jesus etc.)

    Alright, a few thoughts...

    1. most Serbs live in a fantasy world-view with Vatican inc. as the chief enemy & fiction history. Their best newspaper, "Politika", is very instructive about these issues, especially the comments section on controversial articles. Over 50% of the populace lives in the area if myth (Serbs are continuation of the supposed Vinča culture of ca. 8000 years ago (or so, I forgot); Serbs are Celts; Sanskrit is basically Serbian; even more rubbish on their victimology in past two centuries,..).

    They are the champs of irrationality among European peoples, close to mental framework of Black Muslims with Yakub etc.

    2. most lower-middle class Serbs blame Jews as archetypal globalists (Soros etc.), so they're misojudaistically conspiratorial in their outlook

    3. on the other hand, their elites (if this is the word) would like to jump in the victimhood wagon with Jews, so there are efforts by their intellectuals (historians, literary theorists, writers, ..) to forge ties with Israel & Jews as such, in the role of Victims-United-Emotional-Blackmail industry.

    I don't give a shit about Serbian Orthodox Church & my opinion on it is virtually the same as expressed in the following vid in Croatian: this is a pathological faux-ecclesiastical organization that should be banned from any inter- denominational discourse.

    I guess you're right.

    But anyone who bothers to look will find out that the international press is controlled by Jews, which serves as the main propaganda mouthpiece of their globohomo ZOGs and NWO, and so if anyone is demonised in such media, it is the fault of the Jews.

    True.
    A little difference, though: neither of those were (literally) bombed into submission and/or had their parts taken from them.

    Thing is, Montenegrins don't even have a dialect of their own, nothing to base their identity upon. They speak pure Serbian language, like the Serbs in South-Western Serbia, or Serbs in B&H and Croatia. It's the most artificial identity in Europe.

    And yes, it cannot survive, it actually has 25% non-Orthodox population and the Orthodox population is divided among itself, on regional, ideological, confessional, tribal and quasi-ethnic grounds. It's probably gonna get divided among Serbia and Albania or simply get annexed by Serbia at the first opportune moment(weakening of NATO grip on the region).

    Also, Belgrade is attractive enough simply by it's size to Montnegrins, but it really doesn't have to be. Serbs in B&H live better than Serbs in Serbia and are identical to Serbs in MNE, yet they predominantly want unification with Serbia. people aren't simply motivated by economic or material motives.

    My impression they do have it. Anyway, not important at the moment. I would simply like to ask a question if I may.
    I’ve been watching this thing and even communicating with some Serbs around here and over there.
    ONE thing appears….weird (for a lack of better word). Maybe you can help (or anyone in the know here; not that I expect many, mind you).

    It’s obvious that the Serbs have been at the receiving end of the “globo-homo” paradigm since the fall of the Wall. Most of Serbs who do think know it.
    Now, the puzzling thing. For all that they blame Vatican, Germany and Anglo-Saxon world (Britain and US in particular). Not ONE word about “them” (I guess on this Website no need to explain who “those” are). Not one……….

    Would you have an opinion why is that?

    Two options:
    Uncomfortable-Serbs simply can’t do it, probably for historical reasons, WW2 in particular.
    Sort of comfortable-Serbs do know it but assume/feel/hope that antagonizing “them” on top of all shit they’ve been getting simply wouldn’t be a good idea.

    My take:70/30 former/later. Or, Jasenovac trauma simply lobotomized even the smartest of them.
    The only Serb who, apparently, can spell “them” is Srdja Trifkovic (and even he is very careful…).

    Alright, a few thoughts...

    1. most Serbs live in a fantasy world-view with Vatican inc. as the chief enemy & fiction history. Their best newspaper, "Politika", is very instructive about these issues, especially the comments section on controversial articles. Over 50% of the populace lives in the area if myth (Serbs are continuation of the supposed Vinča culture of ca. 8000 years ago (or so, I forgot); Serbs are Celts; Sanskrit is basically Serbian; even more rubbish on their victimology in past two centuries,..).

    They are the champs of irrationality among European peoples, close to mental framework of Black Muslims with Yakub etc.

    2. most lower-middle class Serbs blame Jews as archetypal globalists (Soros etc.), so they're misojudaistically conspiratorial in their outlook

    3. on the other hand, their elites (if this is the word) would like to jump in the victimhood wagon with Jews, so there are efforts by their intellectuals (historians, literary theorists, writers, ..) to forge ties with Israel & Jews as such, in the role of Victims-United-Emotional-Blackmail industry.

    I don't give a shit about Serbian Orthodox Church & my opinion on it is virtually the same as expressed in the following vid in Croatian: this is a pathological faux-ecclesiastical organization that should be banned from any inter- denominational discourse.

    They don't have a dialect of their own, they speak East Herzegovinian dialect of the Serbian language, which is the same as Serbs in South-Western Serbia, Serbs in B&H and Krajina Serbs. That is the main standard of the Serbian language.

    Concerning "them", we could argue that "they" have been in power to influence the Balkan theater of the world since the Anglo-Saxon powers took over the world domination game, but not before, so blaming Germany, Vatican or Austria-Hungary seems more logical since they have been in the anti-Serbian game for far longer.

    Jasenovac and the whole WWII experience also has a part in it, true(in 1941, the Western Serbs, Serbs west of the Drina river have been 1/3 of the Croatian/Bosnian population, now they are 1/8 of the population in the same area).

    Some Serbian national thinkers have been characterized as anti-Semitic, like Jaša Tomić, for example, but most of them are from the Serbian regions which were within Austria-Hungary, so largely influenced by Catholic and European thinkers.

    One interesting hypothesis for the lack of Serbian anti-Semitism isn't the "uncomfortable" part of it(Serbs, after all waged a "mini-World War" against NATO, and feel no shame about it), but rather that the the whole inherently anti-Semitic Christian mythology has been replaced by Kosovo mzthos and national mythology within the Serbian national character(Branković replaced Judas, Kniaz Lazar replaced Jesus etc.)

  • Hammering away at truly stupid souls and subjecting some to fatigue marches in full gear was a commendable approach in my view, but how on earth can it be successfully applied to counter the full-blown, mass stupidity of our times?

    You could be surprised, but when I said “training” it wasn’t just “fatigue marches” etc. I don’t want to make the “monitors’” job too easy (doxxing wise…) so won’t go into details.
    Let’s say there were, among other things, training sessions for junior officers in rather fancy technical and tactical stuff. And, there were sessions for top brass too; there were even, sometimes, some “star/flag” levels there (or so I say….).

    You are correct in one way, though: the audience, or better, its motivation.

    People DO listen and think, very carefully, when they have, literally, “skin in the game”. People in the military did, most of the time. “Getting”, in training, had, a lot of times, a direct relation to somebody’s life and limb. Or serious error and consequent court-martial.
    So…hehe…when I was telling/showing my stuff people opposite me WERE listening, thinking and asking correct questions.
    Motivation is key.

    One can NOT, at this stage, counter mass stupidity. No need to think. Life is too good. Or, good in for really matters to an average person: breads and circuses.
    The next concern, security, is still being carefully managed so they don’t see it. Demographic replacement, I mean.
    And, re this topic: potential SERIOUS conflict with Russia. It simply doesn’t register.

    The bottom line, things must go much worse in order to just make people interested enough to start listening and thinking.
    Will it happen in time….well, we’ll see, won’t we?

    And for this topic, well…hahaha…what’s the point of getting interested after the first nuke explodes, say, just in an area where a Russian sub is…. in Atlantic?

    On the practical, daily, level, you just don’t waste time and energy on those. If, when, you come across somebody who shows potential you try. Keep going if and while it works; if not dump him/her and move on.

    I have noticed recently, though, in real life, more of “potentials”.

    Sounds like an interesting book. I've been meaning to download and read it for some time now.

    The problem, though, is that I have read too many comments by its author on this site and I cannot trust this man's judgement. In fact, if you read one or two of Andrei's comments you can pretty much skip the rest, as they all follow the same predictable pattern. The US is in a state of deep decay, Russia is better at all levels and improving at an incredible pace (you have to believe that this is an impartial assessment, which has nothing to do with his transparent Russian jingoism...) and if someone contradicts his views his Pavlovian response is to dismiss his opponent on the grounds that he doesn't have the necessary credentials (as if being a Soviet Navy officer was the pinnacle of academic achievement) or, worse still, accuse him of being a "paid troll". Being myself regularly accused of being a "Russian troll", I just don't have any patience left for people who use that line of argumentation.

    To make matters worse, now this book receives high praise from his friend Saker. I believe that in times past the Saker was able to write some interesting and novel thoughts from time to time (although I may have overvalued them, now I am not sure). But that ability seems to have disappeared and his posts are now equally repetitive and increasingly full of his obscure obsessions, such as the Franks, the Papist conspiracies, etc.

    For the time being, I'll pass on the book. But a sober, factual assessment of the current state of military technology and the new Russian weapons, if any exist, would be a very interesting read.

    One rational actor point of view is that you have to be able to respond to anything. Anything. In a measured or escalating response. Of course biologics are being actively pursued to the hilt. Just like you point out about Marburg.

    But, the view from above is that general panic in the population cannot be allowed, and so all biologics have to be down played.

    Saker and Martyanov do have their hearts in the right place. They are making a fundamental mistake in this “dick measurement” approach, though. That method could actually produce the very results they don’t want.

    The ONLY way to influence the public in the West re conflict with Russia is FEAR. A specific type of fear. The fear of nuclear Armageddon.

    It’s a bit puzzling that they, and the owner of this pub, men of a certain age, do not remember those protests in 80’s in Europe.

    Instead of producing this material perhaps much more beneficial would be producing a book, article, debate about a nuclear conflict between the USA and Russia.

    THAT, and only that would twitch an ordinary Westerner out of his/her stupor. Members of ‘chattering class’ that is.
    For lower strata replying “The Day After” and, for Europeans, “Threads”, on a weekly basis, would do the trick.

    I remember those times very well, because I grew up in the middle of it. Every afternoon, between 2 and 3 pm you would hear the boom of some British (we lived in the northern part) jet breaking the sound barrier during their afternoon practice after tea time. Small children on the farms outside the city would throw themselves on the ground screaming, because the British occasionally used the farmhouses for target practise. In wintertime, you heard the roaring from far away across the fields, when they were keeping the runway free of ice, because they , well, had to be prepared to take on the Russians at any minute.
    Occasionally, a pilot would lose control of his jet and it went down right next to some farm. You would visit the site a few days later. Every autumn, there were the regular manouvers, when you saw tanks roling by on the city bypass for days on end.
    And then you were bombarded endlessly with stories about the effect of nuclear war, how long it would take from launch to impact, what would happen to your place, if a nuclear bomb of this or that size expolded above some mayor city, as far as 100 km from your own place. And that in a country where you knew that hundreds of thousands had died in conventional bombings, and you must not mention them, because they were the evil ones and you were their offspring.

    At school, you would read books in class about nuclear war (well, if there was spare time left, when you did not read books about evil Nazis). And your very liberal teachers would pump you up with fear ever more. You picked up a newspaper and you read about some crazy thing that Ronald Reagan had said again about SDI and so on.
    I came of age in sync with the end of the cold war and it might have been the best time ever for a teenager in West Germany then - at the age of 12 you came to understand that the world was sick, and when you turned 20, the sickness had been healed. Voilà, the existence of progress in human nature had been proven and you were the living example that it was there! Today, with Russians you better not even mention the name of Michail Gorbatchev, but there was a reason, why people in Federal Germany were freaking out about him.

    This was an experience so mighty that it took me decades to understand that we were all being conned. In the crosshairs of the Western Overlords there never were the Soviets for real. It was decoy, but a dangerous one at that. The Cold war was aimed at us, the people. It was us who had to learn that without our Masters we would be taken over by Russkiecommies or whatever it was supposed to be.
    Only when I got to live in the east I learned that people in that part of Germany were living there ordinary lives, not quite the level of consumption that we had, but mentally healthier, if only they managed to stay out of the way of their idiot party officials.

    As a Westerner, you had the chance to get drunk on your wealth. That is being taken away now. The cold war is being reinstalled. So it is time for a reassesment.

    I doubt there is any twitch left in them. Pigs have been shipped to slaughterhouses for decades. Yet, even though the pig is an intelligent animal, they still can't figure out what's going on. They keep making the same trip to the slaughterhouse.

    Do you think westerners, at this stage, are more intelligent? Yes humans have the ability to reason so we should be smarter than pigs. However the willful ignorance is astounding. It's being fully embraced by practically every westerner.

    When I was little the Vietnam War was happening. I couldn't have cared less about it. Give me my toys and my cartoons on tv and three daily meals and lots of candy. That's all that mattered. As for anything beyond that...no worries, that's what my parents were for.

    Aren't we the society which decided not to grow up? We couldn't care less about Russia or Iran. Give us our smart phones and computers and sports on tv, lots of junk food to eat(who cares about GMOs so long as it tastes good and our stomach is full) and anything else needed to satisfy our instant gratification. Regarding everything else...no worries, that's what our government is for. Big Brother never had it so good.

    The rational actor false supposition has it that the biologics can't be used because they don't recognize friend from foe.

    Rational actors? Where? Anthrax via the US mail.

    One rational actor point of view is that you have to be able to respond to anything. Anything. In a measured or escalating response. Of course biologics are being actively pursued to the hilt. Just like you point out about Marburg.

    But, the view from above is that general panic in the population cannot be allowed, and so all biologics have to be down played. "of course we would never do anything like that, it would be insane to endanger all of humanity". Just like nukes. So professors pontificate misdirection, and pundits punt.

    So don't expect real disclosure, or honest analysis. "We only want the fear that results in more appropriations. Not the fear that sinks programs." Don't generate new Church commissions. Hence the fine line. some fear yes, other fears, no.

Apparently it is insufficient to just publish tons of anti-Semitic material, he wants actually money to prove his point. By tying some of "us" to "them," it makes sense in his mind that he can make "them" pay. You know about war, right? We are just "innocent bystanders."

    Unz review isn't about white identity or an "ethnostate", it's primarily about Jews, Jewish influence in the US, antisemitism/anti-Zionism etc. The choice of authors and the heavy emphasis on Holocaust denial and similar issues makes it pretty clear imo that this is the primary focus of the site.
    The publishing of other nationalist material is incidental to that focus (also note that Ron Unz has in the past defended Hispanic mass immigration to the US and seems to be fine with the present state of California, so this site definitely isn't about principled opposition to mass immigration).
    If you're hoping that Unz review will become an effective platform for your goals, you're bound to be disappointed.

    Why would Russia initiate a 'decapitating* nuke strike' on US?
    What will she gain by it? Nothing.
    Both US and Russia will have more than enough surviving nukes to wipe the other out, and then some, if one of them initiates a nuke first strike.

    My guess is Russia continues developing faster, harder to detect nuke strike systems to deter the psychopaths in US from doing something stupid and awful. But the problem with all these developments of ever faster strike capabilities - on both sides - is that the possibility of an accidental nuke strike by one side or another, keeps increasing. Because it takes a few minutes for a missile to reach its target, you cannot afford to wait: if your defenses falsely detect a 'launch', then you _have_ to launch......and then the runaway chain reaction of strike-counterstrike-countercounterstrike begins.....and everything ends.

    ______________________________
    * there is no such thing as 'decapitating' nuke strike against US or Russia. Both are large enough and have enough nuke warheads (8,000-10,000) to render the idea of a 'decapitating' strike meaningless.

    Is it plausible that he would have left 700,000 words of comments on this website, sometimes at a rate of 200-250 comments per month? Absolutely!

    But suppose there's a fellow with relatively mainstream views like "PeterAUS," who frequently debunks "conspiracy theories."

    A perceptive person would’ve seen and understood it ages ago. Coders can’t, of course.
    It’s O.K.

    And, if the coder is a rich American that helps too. Not understanding I mean.
    So, I’ll try again to broaden your horizons a bit re “deplorables”:

    In my waking time, I have to be very careful with what I say/write down. That takes a toll on some people. A balance is required. A place where I can, OK up to a point of course, say what I REALLY think about some things. Call it “online therapy”.

    See, you and me now. You are what you are, somebody. I am who I am in this little paradigm, nobody. And I CAN say what I really think about you directly to you.
    Now…………hahahah…I mean….what do YOU think would happen to me if I said what I REALLY think to a CEO I work for? Or to a client delivering a short project too?

    Don’t get me wrong; I did try to do that, twice actually, in my civilian career (yes, so I say). How to put it politely….ah, yes….didn’t reflect well on my employment there. Reflected perfectly in the very next restructure/outsourcing.
    As for clients….just funny…….just last month I lost one because I really couldn’t go over some technical line in the sand. Told them what they have to do to make it work. Yes, I do 90 % but there is really something I can’t and they just must. What an insolence, a?

    So, say, I have to compose a business-related email to an idiot. Taxing.
    Then I pop here and read something. Even post. Refresh. Recharge. Back to paradise.

    See, as soon as I finish this I have to make a phone call to….an idiot. And be very careful, nice etc.
    So..hehe…I’ll pop up here, later on, I guess.

    Same for almost all people I interact with, each and every day, in my multicultural urban paradise. Call it “careful interaction”. That’s for work/making money.

    Same for life in general.

    I mean, neighbors etc. Contractors fixing things here and there. Fellas in gym. Life in suburbia.
    Can’t skip over them/ignore them. Have to play the game.
    Here I just use that list up here and off they go…… in limbo. Rejuvenating.

    Makes sense?

    It’s probably hard to understand, for a rich Jewish American, coder on top of it, all that.
    But…hahaha….that’s the point, isn’t it?

    Now, that’s for most of it.
    Also, there have been some little nuggets of exquisite knowledge/information and even wisdom here. Rare, but it’s happened.

    And, there was a time here when I had some ideas about ….anyway….and took some time and effort, posting too, to see the reality.
    See, in hindsight, I wouldn’t have written a fifth of what I have, let alone read stuff here. But, that’s the price one has to pay to see this pub for what is really for/about.

    Pity is, maybe, that the site could’ve been much more. Yes, there was a great chance that in such a scenario the site wouldn’t exist. So………

    My point is that with the paying scheme a lot of people who do contribute and think about contributing will not. Some because of money; some because of increased risk of doxxing.

    I would suggest what happened to Professor Eric Ferguson at IU constitutes serious trouble.

    http://www.rasmusen.org/special/2019kerfuffle/

    He has survived so far because he has tenure. Normal people that are dependent on an employer to fill their grail bucket to eat every week would be in serious trouble if they posted like Eric Ferguson did. For my family, we would lose clients, income and put my children’s welfare at risk if I were doxxed like Rasmussen, so I keep my mouth shut. People without lots of political clout and/or financial resources can not defend themselves from these attacks.

    Another prime example was the attack of the social justice warriors on Gibson’s Bakery when they detained and called police to arrest a black shoplifter. While not an online posting, Oberlin College went after them and nearly destroyed their livelihood. They survived because a law firm represented them on a contingency basis so they did not have to pay 6 million in legal expenses up front to defend themselves.

    Ron, I would suggest that your talent, productivity and subsequent wealth shield you from understanding the perspective of the typical working stiff. As I often say to my Ivy League wife, it is hard to understand the working man’s circumstances and subsequent mentality if you have not gotten drunk with him in his mobile home trailer once or twice. I don’t recommend the experience, but there are lessons to be learned. I believe that since so many Unz readers are concerned about privacy, you should consider giving it more weight. I find that your views regarding the privacy concerns of readers similar to your beliefs expressed over the years about immigration not being a problem for working class Americans.

    On the Southside of Chicago, nearly all of my black neighbors had heavy duty iron security doors, and this was at a rate far higher than the whites. They were not stupid. There was a reason for their behavior.

    And the last, but, for obvious reasons not the least, how about those in Canada, AUSTRALIA, New Zealand and South Africa?

    Which brings us to the very intent behind the “change” in the first place. The primary objective, if you will. Not money, of course.

    All good.

    Do you think that Unz review is a honeytrap operation?
    It would be quite ironic if Unz himself was working for the ADL or some intelligence service, and the only purpose of this site is to collect incriminating material about "thought criminals".

    Well maybe you’re just randomly clicking around on pages every 5 seconds or so for strange and eccentric reasons.
     
    Disappointing.

    ...doesn’t that require a good deal of time to read the various articles and also the comment-threads in which you’re responding and arguing with other people?
     
    Not really. As I say, try "multitasking" one day. Or "breaks" and "micro-breaks" while doing something else.
    Which brings us to:

    Well, maybe you’re a lightning-fast reader.
     
    Aprox:
    Don't read 90 % of articles. Skim read 5 % of articles. Read 5% of articles.
    Don't read about 80 % of the comments. Skim read 15% of the comments. Read only 5 % of the comments.
    Read, always, some of the regulars. Get a feel for an "annon" in the first paragraph; from then it's skip/skim/read.
    Makes sense?
    Try it one day, if you can.

    But your comments total some 700,000 words, which is the equivalent of writing 7 good-size books. Don’t authors claim it takes more than just a few dozen hours to write a 100,000 word book?
     
    Probably.
    They need to keep in "zone". I am sure you, as a coder, would understand.
    When I post a comment I don't need to be in the "zone". Actually, it's a break from a "zone" I need for my work/earning for a living. Which isn't coding, BTW.

    ...you really should contact various organizations, inform them of your tremendous talents, and start collecting a regular paycheck…
     
    Bad form.
    You don't need to be smart, but try to be a gentleman.

    And, to make it clear (personal/political/ideological disagreement aside):

    You’ve done a good job, so far, here. This site has provided a good value for “us”, so far. “Us” as “deplorables”, I mean. White middle-class/working-class males, in the West. Sort of our online watering hole when we could, up to a point, “drink” what we want, even need. Our online therapy in the….hehe…” therapeutic state”. Sanctuary of common sense, of a sort.

    When you introduce any…any…paying scheme it won’t be the case anymore.

    But, as the comment .285 says, you know, you could’ve been great.
    True, could’be been made destitute, maybe even in prison, but….again….you could’ve been GREAT.

    Risk/reward.
    Small, average, big…great men. Oh, BTW, I am just an average fellow, of that “deplorable” type. Not big, definitely not great. I guess you could be seen, almost, as big.
    But…hehe…you…..you could’ve been great.

    Life, a?

  • Last year I reviewed Andrei Martyanov's book "Losing Military Supremacy: the Myopia of American Strategic Planning" for the Unz Review. In that book, Martyanov explained why the era of easy US victories over pretty much defenseless countries was over and what that meant for US force planners. This year it is my immense pleasure to...

    I do not see how the Iranians can surrender. The American goal is the complete destruction of the Islamic Revolution. What do those running Iran have to gain by surrendering? Even a defeated enemy needs some motivation to surrender. America could surrender and nothing bad would happen to the USA. Israel could surrender with all moderate Jews emigrating to America. How do the Iranians surrender when the threat is existential? Could also ask: which faction of the US government/military do they surrender to?

    It's a moot point because they will not surrender. The Islamic Revolution is based on more than the superficiality westerners worship. Did the Cuban Revolution end with Fidel Castro's death? So much for all those predictions that the revolution would not survive Castro.

    It just shows how the Anglo-American West has no understanding when it comes to revolutionary movements. Going back to the days of the French Revolution, all they've cared about is counter-revolutionary destruction.

    O…………………K.

    Try to, slowly and carefully, visualize this scenario:

    The “engagement” starts on trivial pretext with air strikes->there is exchange->air strikes increase->Iran mines the Hormuz->air strikes increase->…..battle of will……..most of the world gets involved in one way or another->tactical nukes on certain targets to prevent the current regime to wage modern war->invasion to clear/secure Hormuz.

    The…ahm…” engagement” COULD end as what we see in Syria:
    A non-functional central state, divided in constantly low-level warring entities. Some of them self-ruling, some occupied. Even by Russians.

    So, you could be right: the regime does not surrender. It controls, under constant, occasional strikes part of the current territory. As Assad.
    Some other parts of the country occupied and controlled by somebody else. The Empire and Russians/Chinese/whatever.
    Some parts sort of independent.
    Some parts of the country a radioactive wasteland.

    Makes sense?

    In a Western drill sergeant's world, Yes.
    In the real world, No (with an LOL on the side).
